Morris-Feild -Rogers-Co LISTOWEL. An Awful Time. It was an awful time! In the first' place it was in the middle of July, and we had to move. Old Mr Townsend died and every stick and stone that he owned in Dolliver was sold. His heirs, two sons (Oh! how he hated their very names, knowing no more of them) had been abroad and come home to divide their time between their New York residence and the old family estate at Chester Grove. But they didn't want to be ep ted houses bothered eDolliverh and tth seof r were peremptorily doomed to he sold. Old Conway pounced upon our's at once. Of course he did, Mrs Conway and her two homely daughters had been hankering for our house for yearent wef had hlived thered years, and, oh, the additions and im- provements we had made to it. We had doubled its value, I am certain; we beautified it. inside and out; we lavished oirr. artistic tastes upon the panels; we adorned the walls; we had the floor puttied, painted and polished, and Teddy had actnally painted the most beautiful border; and co .ner pieces of oak leaves and acorns round the entire sitting room, and now to give . it all up! Ohl those hateful Townsends! d to the fact that theeo only house wess was the could find in all Dolliver to rent was a little two - .story cottage, quite a distance from all the neighbors to whom we had be- come attached, and in a locality we detested. However, here and as I said tbefore wwe had anas no e awfufor l time. It was bad enough to know the dear, old home was lost to us, and that the labors of love on the s were twalls o �and floorsall ; it was sufficiently exasperating to be compelled to take up our abode at Jenk's Corner, a locality we abomin- ated, but these were only the begin- ning of our tribulations. The day we were to move was hot— done the work of about three so hot! and the dear e men thr e previous week, and weighing at her best about 94 pounds, broke down with a blindingnervous headache. Martha, a treasure of a servant had already laid herself up by spraining her wrist, in moving a trunk, so there were Ted- dy Tddy is my eldest sister Th odosind Jim and I to "do" the a and Jim is .Jemima, my youngest sis- ter; I am Thomasine, always called Tom in the bosom of our family We • table aud sent them in to it Iand you did look just ready to cry in my life hard ripen la,ug over sandwiches, hard boiled coffee. 7V 70.7-71?"17:47,117 t , THE..,, CLI1t11'TO11T 'W•• ',RA, ` , T never "pleaded Bill, as his brother paused; h so much "+ eggsand you know."

' old bachelors and we hoped they would never marry unless it was to some old witch who would worry them all the year around. All this we said in confidbnce to each other, never heeding those quiet, modeat.young men who wore so meek- ly obeying all our orders. The house was really in very nice order, and mother's room as homely as we could make it, then at last the car- riage drove up with our dear invalid, Jim and Martha. Mother was very pale and propped up by pillows, and I was worrying over the necessity of her wakinustairs, whenout walked urltwo hired men,and without any or- ders whatever raised her tenderly and gently, pillows and all, in their arms, and carried her upstairs as carefully as her own son, had she ever bad any, could have done. Jim stared, as well she might, and Martha made a dive for the kitchen. Teddy paid the men; Jim and I did the last few things necessary before resting; and then we all gathered in mother's room. Such a chattering as followed, the dear mother laughing and talking as merrily as any of us. "But. oh, what guys you two are!" cried Jim. "Tom, you've torn yourself as usual wherever there was the small- est opening for a rent, and your cap is hanging half way down you back, while your hair defies description. Teddy always does keep nice, some- how; but now—even Teddy will bear n application of soap and water." "`Sam to yourself, ' said Teddy. "I uess•you sent all the mirrors away afore you washed your face. You've got what Martha calls a 'smooch' right across your nose." "Don't be personal, young ladies," said mother in a tone of extreme gen- tleness, "but perform your ablution, and see if Martha can make out a tea." In a fortnight we had settled clown in the house, but we did not occvpy ourselves as of old, in beautifying our horse. We were advertising far and wide for a house such as we wished, and we hoped to purchase one. The price of the one we had left was be- yond our reach, but we thought we could hear of one at a more reasonable rate. Duriirg this time of waiting, feeling as if we really had no home, we ha gone out but little. Mother was not well 'and thej heat was very oppres- sive, while Martha's lame wrist threw considerable housework on our hands. But one evening there came an ir- resistable invitation from mother's dear friend, Mrs Raymond of Chester Grove, to a garden party and enter- tainment. "You will stay all niht, of course, and I will send the carriage for you at two o'clock. Be sure you all come, I cannot spare one of you!" But we did not all go. Mother was not equal to the eight mile drive, and Jim stayed with her. We all wanted to stay, and finally we drew lots and it fell to Jim. "I'm not really'', out anyhow," said that young person philosophically; "and as you and Teddyseen awfully slow abo'it leaving the family nest. [Perhaps it is just as well that 1 am not brought forward just yet.': "The effect will be overwhelming .when you are," said Teddy, laughing; but secretly we all thought Jim the are all young; we are all blondes; wet e are all,small; we have incomes of our dark own of $300 a year, so we can live very It nicely, indeed, in a quiet little place Tedd like Dolliver. invit When mother patiently fainted ' with away just as the first furniture van only drove up to the door, Teddy and I de- Grov tailed Jim for active duty in the hospi- We tal department, and promised to have linen mother's room madready the firstthing.

N er nor I at we had eanhaudience Not until long after- ward were we aware of the wicked trick that was at that instant devised. From round the corner of the house appeared two men in flannel shirts, minus collars, neck -ties or hats; with hair in wild confusion, and extremely dirty hands and -faces. In the richest of brogues one of them respectfully addressed Teddy and requested work. I really wonder now that we did not embrace them. But we engaged their services and how they worked! They did a considerable amount of laughing requiredwhenever thethey were rminutee'di directions for everything they undertook, but they put down the carpets and put up pictures and carried in furniture and unpacked glass and china, in :act, worked with might and main, leaving to the driver of the van only the task of going to and frd with the goods which he managed to load with Mar- tha's assistance.

But, somehow, just then we all look- ed up. and in another second, the air was filled with laughter. It was irre- sistible. The whole affair was too funny for anything. After that, we were the best of friends. The Townsends come often to Jenk's Corner, and when Jim comes out regularly, next winter she will have no sisterly compunctions about Teddy, or me, because there will be a double wedding in about two weeks. Teddy and I are going to marry those horrid Townsends. Mr John Little has hundred ac efarm know n the theed farm, three miles east of this village, from his son, Henry P. Little. RUSSIA'S CZAROWITZ.

Th. est breaoh between ths Russian Ovsrowilsdand his father is on the Jewish question. The young man does not believe in from Russia. persecuting the Therews arerin otheri points thsof i difference between the opinions of the Czar and those of his son, but these are the main ones, and to s man of the Czar's fierce temper, which will not brook opposi- tion, they are sufficient to cause him to Iook upon his eon as a wilful, fractions boy not fit to rule any people. That Grand Duke Nicholas would be able to put his advanced ideas into force should he Dome into power to -morrow, there is mall reason to believe. He has absorbed erne liberal ideas from his tutors, but he s not in any way a forceful or a strong oung man. He is not resourceful, has no penial talent for affairs, and would be a ak figure in the hands of the strong body f strategists who now surround Alexander II. and largely shape his reactionary olioy. Take it all in all, the young heir to the aesian throne occupies a peculiar pori- on. The heir of his father, he is yet dis- nated by him. The Czar is not at tw,e est of times a very amiable man, save to- ard his wife. Latterly' he has been a ctim of insomnia, and then there come porta that the hereditary taint of inesn- , which has shown o has marked him in an openmanner. der these circumstances his Conduct to- ard his son, in whom he places little itth, may be highly important in its re- Those who have dome into ()outwit with a Csarowitz—and they are not numerous --all concur in the opinion that, while not er bright, he is fairly intelligent and ry amiable._ This latter quality has made him popts- with all parties in the Russian court, an including those who look upon him a very weak figure indeed to support • weight of the Russian orown—as he a some day.

Hs is more of a sohofrir than most of the Borden men of rank aro, but is both modest and simple of manner. Tutors, whom ha has had from time to time, have reported of him that the ami- ability he shows in publio is not assumed. In the eohoolroom he was the same. He always met his tutors hail way in their efforts to improve him. He was never churlish, nor did he display any of the "spoiled child" qualities that might have been looked for in a young man of his position. Not especially gnlok to learn, he was willing and patient. It was from one of theme tutors that the Grand Dake imbibed the ideas which made him German rather than French in his tastes and sym- pathies, contrary to what would have been the wishes of his father, had the latter known anything of the matter. Still, the young mania fairly well versed in French literature as well as German, and, unlike his father, he is an admirer of Tolstoi and of the younger writers of the modern Russian period who are pushing to the front. He is said to caro little for heavy reading of a. political or historical character. He has a taste for poetry and fiction, and in this again he is like his mother, for Alexander III. has no liking for that sort of reading, or indeed for any other. • Newspaper literature is nerved on him sparingly. The Czar's press censors are a zealous lot, and moat do something to earn as I their wagas When they oome across an re ( English newspaper, for ,instance, of an outspoken eharaoter they give ib a queer overhauling before it goes to the future Czar. The raeglt is that he knows only in a fragmentary way of a good deal that is going on in the world outside his father's palace. - If he could follow his own bent he world undoubtedlyo about freely and learn something of the people whom he may be called upon to govern. But tho fear that the anarchists will insist on taking shot* ab him with dynamite bombs prevents his doing any genteel slumming in St. Peters- burg or Moscow. There is one thingto be said of the young man that cannot be said of other knights of his age. His life has been clean. Hi, name is nnsmirohsd byscandal. He has lived quietly with his oks and studies. His habits have been and are of the simplest. He is tenderlyattaohed to his mother and 1f his affecton for his rough bear of a father is len strong, he has at least given him respect and obedience while disagree- ing with him on man points. He really wishes to improve the condition of the ppeeopple of Russia and on no narrow lines. He no apostle of war or bloodshed and no persecutor of race or religion. gnoh a young man, with cyan moderate brains, might rale sensibly. The marriage of this young man to the daughter of the Prins of Wales and his aooeeelon to the Russian throne before the next great European straggle, which states- men say cannot long be delayed, wnld have an important effect upon the turn of events, His known and openly avowed friendship for Germany and its Emperor would load him to treat the Triple Alliance neutrally, if not with downright open friendship, and would leave France isolated and almost alone in Continental Europe, ,while his donne, r n by marriage to a daughter of the .1 nae of Wales would certainly tend t., •omote amity between Russia and ou John. presenotly lease "Wehad ov usr said come over to Dolliver, and had heard for the first time that there was any per- sonal feeling involved in the selling of our father's property, which we re- garded as a mere business transaction.
