"Have you seen mamma, Dono?" in the firm, the losses they had in
the time of the Crimean War, final-

with a modest income, to the little
country villa. A life of toil, and
care, and hardship, with what seem-
ed to Donovan a very alight reward
but which the old man kimself con-
sidered quite sufficient.
"And now, you see," be conclud-
ed, "when my health is uncertain,
and I cannot do what I once could,
why, here I ha%e a cozy little berth
to myself, with no cares or anxiet-
ies. It was always my castle in
the air, this, a little house in a
country village, with a bit of gar-
den, and a place to keep fowls in.*
The thought of this helped nue
through years of caro and labor.
Always remember to have your
castle in the air. That is my ad-
vica to you."
"What is the use, sir, if it never
comes to anything? Except at
cards, the luck is against me al-
ways. And is there not a proverb,
'Blessed is he that expecteth no-
thing?"
"Well, well," said Mr Hayes,
"perhaps you are the wiser and
more rational. I don't know ex-
actly about expecting—you must
expect very patiently, at any rate.
But a 'castleis a great blessing; I
should miss mine sadly."
"You have a new one, then?"
saie Donovan, amused.
"Ob, yes; Switzerland will he my

Lir it this long time, and I have
mapped out my route, and chosen
what hotels to go to, and calculated

ers, I get hints from them, and put
them down in my note book. Now
this is what I intend to do, start-
ing,
you know, from Newhaven to-
I)ieppe," etc., etc.
The whole tour was detailed
with enthusiastic delight, and
Donovan listened, unable to help
admiring the child -like contented
old man.
"And when do ypu think your
`castle' will -come off, sir?" he asked,.
when the whole plan had been re–
lated.
"Oh! that I cannot tell at all"
said Al- Hayes, rubbing his hand.
"I have not saved enough yet; but
won't it be a grand tour! Come,
own that it is a 'castle' worth hav-
ing?"

It could not be any quarrel then
in that quarter. What could have
happened ? He was so disinclined
to talk, however that she did not
venture to ask any more questions,
and in a minute or two he walked
across the room, opened the piano,
and began to practice He had

and labored away at it, first mechan-
ically and then doggedly enough,
but by degrees with great satisfac-
tion and relief to himself, a stately,
measured, dignified strain it was,
with one little fidgety, fugue–like
passage. He played five bars of it
over and over till the disappoinment
and anger, and moodiness died out
of his heart, and poor Dot began to
beg for mercy.
"You must have played it a
thousand times," said Dot laughins,
and Donovan laughed too, left the
piano, and calve to sit beside her.
"Bach is as good as a tonic," he
said, cheerfully. "That old folio >v
always sets me right."
She saw now that she might talk
with him,and began to question him
about his day. He always told
her his troubles, but this afternoon
he tried to make light of them.
"We had a glorious time in the
morning ; the ice was perfect.
About the middle of the time the
:Friss Wards came down and their
cousin, Miss White, a very pretty
girl from Canada. She skated nice-
ly, was much more up to things
than any one else, and for a little
while we danced together. Mrs
Ward did not approve of that,
though, I overheard her say some-
thing not too complimentary, and
then she managed some how to
stop it, at which, you know, Dot, I
was just a little cross. But, just
as I was coming away, guess what
happened."
"An accident! Oh! was it an ac-
cident?" cried Dot, excitedly. "And
you were brave and helped the
others, and Mr Ward was obliged
to like you very much?"
He laughed a little, but rather
sadly.
"No, 1)ot. You are running on
too fast. I was born under an un-
lucky star, and shall never be able
to win honor and respect."
He gave her a detailed account
of the whole affair, and was award-
ed by ber delighted pride in his at-
temped rescue.
"Dono, dear, you ought to have
a medal for it—a medal, you know,
from the society for Promoting ---
what is it?"
"Cruelty to animals," suggested
Donovan, wickedly.
"No, ea, you bad boy. Some
thing about being ' humane,' and
they give medals to people who
save people's lives. Just fancy,
Dono, you could wear it on your
watch -chain. It would be so nice."
"Too nice for the like of me," he
said, lightly, but with a stifled
sigh. "They keep things of that
sort for the good boys."
"And no one even thanked you?
That was a shame," ;said the little
sister, indignantly. "Never mind,
Dono, you ate my hero, my very
own, and you are the dearest old
boy in the world."
Perhaps it was as well that the
frost only lasted three days longer.
The skaters grumbled sadly, but
two people at Oakdene were con-
siderably relieved. Tho one was
Mrs Ward, who rejoiced that "that
dangerous young man" could not
again imperil her children, the
other was the "dangerous young
man" himself. But if Donovan did
not easily forget injustice, neither
did he forget the most trifling
piece of kindness. After his next
day's shooting, he left a brace of
pheasants at old Mr Hayes's door,
and this made an opening for a
further acquaintance. Mr Hayes
wrote to ask him to dinner, and, as
such invitations were rare, Dono-
van was pleased enough to go. It
was a tete-a-tete dinner. Old Mr
Hayes was past sixty, and Dono-
van not yet nineteen, but in spite
of this disparity in age, the even-
ing was a very pleasant one, and
did him good. It was a fresh in-
terest, an insight into a new home,
and also into a life whose simplici-
ty, kindness, and content could not
fail to strike the most casual obser-
ver.
Mr Hayes lived very frugally as
a rule. The game was an unwont-
ed luxury, and his evident appreci-
ation of it was very pleasant to
Donovan. He himself had a hearty
but philosophic appetite, to which
nothing came amiss; dainty die -

PLATO.
"You see, deer Mrs Tremain,
one must be so careful with boys;
there are so many temptations into
which they are likely to fall, and,
humanly speaking, there is no such
careful and saving influence as a
mother's."
The speaker, Causton, was a mid-
dle-aged lady, with no -colored hair
brought low on each side of her
brow, and a rather care worn face,
which expresed kindly intentions,
but yet at the same time seemed a
little formal. An old friend of Dr.
Tremain's, and the wife of a naval
officer, she had lately settled down
at Porthkerran in order to be with
her son, Stephen, a boy of nineteen,
who was to spend a year in Dr.
Tremain's surgery before going up
to London to "walk the hospital's."
Mrs Causton was such a rear neigh-
bor that she was an almost daily
visitor at the doctor's house, and
her easy informal comings and go–
ings never interfered with anything
that was going on. The two ladies
were sitting by the open window of
the breakfast–room one warm sum–
mer morning, when Mrs Causton
made the remark about "mother's
influence;" Mrs Tremain, with the
daintiest and most exquiately neat
work -box before her, was busy with
some folds of blue cambric, out of
which her skilful and therefore
graceful looking hands were devis–
ing one of little Nesta's frocks; and
Gladys, at the far end of the room,
was givipg Jackie a reading lesson.
"And yet," began Mrs Tremain,
in answer, "I cannot help thinking
that a certain amount of independ-
ence is almost necessary; a boy
must learn sooner or later to stand
alone."
"Yes, yes, sooner or later; of
course. Stephen moat be alone in
London next year. I wish it could
be otherwise ; but you know I never
could be in London, unfortunately ;
the air is like poison to me. He
must be alone then, but 1 can't help
dreading it very much ; he has

and as she spoke, though the words
were by no means lightly meant,
there was a little smile of amuse-

she was poaching on Mra Causton'a

the sturdy little four-year old boy,
released from his lessons, sprung
toward her with the affectionate
rough demonstration of arms and
legs common to most children of
his age.
"Aunt Margaret," said Gladys.
for, though Mrs Causton was no
real relation, the children had
known her all their lives, and had V �T
NI1ER,TA.KING,
christened;ber "auntie," in American
fashion—"Aunt Margaret, what
would you have done if Stephen
had had to go to sea like Dick?"
"My dear, I'd neverhave allowed
it," said IIrs Causton, quickly.
"Of course, naturally enough, at
one time Stephen did wish to go
with his father, but it could never
have been allowed. From the very
first I determined that he should be
a clergyman or a doctor, the only
thoroughly good and Christians pro-
fessions, to wy mind."
"Oh! but, auntie, think of the

Other professions,"- said GI.`s,
with girlish vehemence, piovoked
by the narrowness of the remark.
"I like a consistent calling," said
Mrs Causton, "and you know,
Gladys, humanly speaking, it is
often difficult to lead a consistent
life in a more secular profession."
Gladys was silent,but not satisfied.
When Mrs Causton had gone she
returned to the subject.
"Mother, Aunt Margaret seems
to think that Nary few peoble are
Christians. She talks as if all the
world, except justa few people like
herself were wicked."
"Your aunt has very strong opin-
ions. I do not agree with her al–
ways," said Mrs Tremain. "Nor
need you, Gladys."
"But, mother, it is so tiresome to
have to hear people say things like
that, it is so—so narrow! What
would she do if there were only two
professions in the world, if every
man was a clergyman or a doctor?
And If the other things must be
done and seen to, why, it 'net be
right for some one to do then!."
