I believe that Edgar, in the inno- cence of his heart, thought that Fab - lane) headlong flirtation aud flaunt- ing suceess with the girl I loved in mei meek and forlorn fashion form- ed a salutary experience for Me. Foe while the young actor invari- ably sloped from fislansg excursions, and disappeared from -picnics, and had a flower which I absolutely re- cognized in his buttonhole every day, Edgar contented himself with preach- ing to me a philosophical 'calm, and ignored my pathetic insinuations that he might do some unspecified geed by "speaking to" Fabian. In- deed, that would have been a delicate business; especially as I had an, flounced myself to be the girl's guar- dian, and site was thus undeniably, well provided with protectors. All the coneollation I had was the re- flectioo• that this flirtation- could only lost a fortnight; but as It was my guests themselves who fixed not only the date but tile duration or their stay, even this comfort was destroyed by their agreeing among themselves to extend their vesit by, another ten deys. When I learned that this was upon the proposal of Fabian I took a stern resolution. I . invited Mre. Elimer and her daughter to joen as in all our expeditions so as to establieir an effec- tive check upon the free- dom of their hatireourse. The result of this was that Mrs, Ellmer abandoned herself to a rattling flirtation With Air. Fussell, while Fabian walked off with Babble to gather flowers or to climb hills or to rime Ta-ta, in the most open man- ner, and Edgar laughed at my annoy- ance, and talked about hens and duck- lings to one in an exasperating under- tone. I think he began to believe Viet , I was entering prematurely into the doddering and senile stage—this straight, wholesome, handsome fel- low, who disdained the least pang of jealousy of the girl who was fortun- ate enough to have 'secured his mag- nanimous approval. If he had been ; branded with a disfiguring scar, he would have renounced the joys of love witle -such staunch, heroic, " broad -shouldered " fortitude, that there would have .been 'quite a rush for the honor of consoling him ; it was not in him to find anything deeper than lip -compassion for fever- ish and morbid emotions. I admired his grand and healthy obtuseness, and wished that lie could bind my eyes too. But I saw plainly enough). the radiance of unnatural exaltation of feeling which lighted up the young glees face after a walk with Fabian, and I knew that the hectic enthus- iasm of hits artist temperament was kindling fires in the sensitive na- ture, which it would be danger to feed and rule to extinguish. With a morbid sensibility of which I was ashamed, I could look into the girl's glowing blue eyes as I shook her hand and bade her good night, and feel in may own soul every emotion that had stirred her heart as she roamed over the hilly with Fabian that day. It Was mere the end of the third iveek ,pi my visitors' stay, that I waited one night for Fabletnes re- turn from the cottage, to which lie and Mr. Fussell had escorted the two ladies, who lied dined with us. Mr. Faesell had returned, and gone into the house to play cards. Fabian came back sixteen minutes later. There bad neon a proposal to extend my visitors' stay still further, and upon that hint I had determined to speak. I was leaning against the portico, as we called the porch of tile house to distinguish it from that of the cottage. S had smoked through two cigars while I was waiting, but at the sound of his footeteps I threw the third away. Fabian walked with a long swinging step; off the stage the than was too earnest to saunter.; crossing a room, eating his break- fast, always seemed a matter of life or death to him; and if he had to call a second time for hie shaving- I water, it wail in the tones of a I Huguenot while the Saint Bartholo- mew was at its height. I had alWitys ' looked upon him as a very good fel- low, impetuous, but nonorable, doing intentional harm tet no one. But I know the elasticity of my sex's mor- ality where nothing stronger than the sentiments Is concernee, and I knew that his impetuosity was kept Iii some sort of check by his ambi- tion. Ills restless erratic) life, and his avowed principlee, wore antag- onietic to happy marriege, and I knew that he was in the habit of satisfy- ing the bosom n d'oemer by open and chivalrous attachments to now orie and now another distinguished lady ; and this knightly devotion to Queens of Love end Beauty, though it makes very pretty reading in the chroniolee of the Middle Ages, is net in the Intereet of nineteenth century domes- tic peace a, thing to be revived. So, although / lied mleseaLle doubts that the steed was already stolen, I was determined to lock the stable door. "Lovely eight," said ha "I like your hills at night; and for the matter of that I bike them iti the dAy time, too.'• Fabian alwaye sank the fact that he was a k:cotetunnal, though I burned just now with the conviction that he was tainted with the national hypocrisy. "I suppose You svill be glad to get back to time bum and roar again by thie tense,' I said as earelemeely as I toted. Fabian had none of Edgar's serene obtiteenese. tie looked at me to , find out whet I meant "Weil, you know We were thinking of imposer); eureeleee upon you for another week, if you have no objet - This Allow of civility was the first shadow on our unceremonione Intercourse.

Then I said— "That was your proposal, was it not?" I spoke so gravely, so hamblyt that my question, rude as it was in it- self, could not offend. "WilY—Yes," sale he in a tone as low' and serious as my own. "What's the matter, Harry V "Will you tell me, honestly, why you, want to stay 9e His big burning eyes looked intent- ly into my rape, and, 'Menem put one Wag thin hand through his hair and laughed.

"Thenwhato you moon 2" "Simply this, that I know Bablole better than you do, and I can see that every word you say to her strikes down deeper than you think. She is an imaginative little—fool if you like; she believes that the ro- mance of her life is come, and ohe is beginning to live upon it amid upon -nothing else." Fabian considered, looking down upon the grass, in which he was dig- ging a deep symmetrical hole with Iris right heel. At last he looked up, "I think you're wrong; I do in- deed," lee said earnestly. "You know as well as I do that my trotting about with her has always been as open' as the day; that it was taken for granted there was no question of serious love -making with a mere child like that. I'm sure her mother never thooght of such a thing for a moment." Now I knew that Mrs. Ellmer„ on principle, scoffed so keenly at love in her daughter's' presence, by way of wholesome repression of the emo- tions, that she would be sure to think that she had scoffed away ailcteng.er of its inopportune appear- ane"My dear boy, I acquit you of all blame in the matter. The mother we can leave out of account;. she is not a person of the most delicate discrimination. But I tell you I have watched the girl--". "That is enough," interrupted Fa- bian, abruptly, and with off-110,nd hanghtiness. "Of course, if I had un- derstood, that you were personally interested in the little girl--" ; I interrupted in my tarn. "I am interested only in getting her well, that is—happily—inarried." Fabian bowed. "Yoe are anticipat- ing your troubles with your ward, ' or pupil, or whatever you call her," said he lightly, though he was angry enough for hie words to have a bitter tone. "However, of course I re- spect your solicituda and Bate/ale and I meet, for the next few days, aunt botterniee on separate hills." And shaking me by the *shoulder and lauglieng at me for an old wo- man, he veout into the house. But he was obstinate, or more in- terested than he pretended to be. I know that it was he who next morning at breakfaet put up FUN - sell and Maurice Browne to great eagerness for the extension of their stay. When I regretted that I had made arrangements for going to Edinburgh on business on the date already settled for their departure,• Fabian glanced up at my face witie a vindictive expression which star- tled Inc. This was the last day but one of I my visitors stay. We all went on I the coach to Braemar, having takes - our ; places time nigimt. As we all walked In the early morning to ; Banister otal.lom from which the coachi stares,. I overheard Fabian say I to Babble— "We shan't be able to see mucle of each other to -day, little one. ' Your maiden aunt disapproves of my picking flowers for you. But I'll get as near as I pan to you on the coach, and this evening you must got mam- ma to invite me to tea." "Maiden aunt!" She repeated, evi- dently not understanding him. They were behind me, so that I Could not see their faces; but by a glance, a gesture, or a whisper, Fabian must have indicated me; for elle burst Out: 011, you must not laugh at him; it is not right; I won't hear any- thing against Mr. Maude." "Sit I Against hint! Oh dear; no t" And the sneer died away in words could net hear. They had fallen beets, X suppose, for I lost even the sound of their voices; but I heard no more than before of the monologue on the Now Era in literature to which MaUrice Browne was treating He was the pioneer of Ole Nese leeit, so we understood', and there Was so intent more abemt the pioneer thatt about the era in his talk On this hie favorite subject, that we, olio were unite satiefled to know inolo mimosaOf of the inmost waaekn- nhis Mind Was revealed by the small - talk of daily existence, seldom gave him a chance of unburdening him- self fully, eieeept when our needs, eke mine en tide oceasion, were deeply engaged with other matters.

Oddly freauent they are, these ruleous farms and cottages, in the royal neighborhood. Au we drew near Braemar the scenery grew wider and grander. Between the peaks of the Imre, steep hills, whore little patches of tall fir -trees grow on inaccessible ledges on the face of the dark -grey rock, we caught glimpses of Lochnagar, with its snow-cap dwindled by the summer sun into than white lines. We pass- ed close under steep Craig Clunk), where the story goes that Colonel Fareuharson, of Climate, lila leneself after the battle of Culloden, and heard Xing George's soidiero mak- ing merry over their victory in his mansion, which, in common with all old Sootch country houses, is called a castle. As the. castle is three-quarters of a mile from the Craig, Edgar opined that the Colonel must have had sharp ears. Then he wafted a little at the ob- stinate Ignorance of the Highland gentleman who would hazard an acre in defence of such a futile and worth., less person' as Charles James Stuart, Edgar had adva.nced pelitioal no- tions, which, in another man, I should have called rabid. I said that if it had been merely a matter of persons and not of principles, I should have backed up the Colonel, since I would sooner swear allege lance to a home -bore profligate than to one of foreige growth; but when I own I would have English princes marry Englisit ladles, and I feel a sneakieg regard for Henry tlia Eighth for hoeing given his country- women a. cha,nce, and thereby left to the world our last great sovereign by right of birth, Queen Elizabeth. That umbrella in front of me hate made me cantankerous I daresay • at any rate, I disagreed persistent- ly with Edgar for the rest of the way, and Called Old Mar Castle a mouldy, old rat - hole, merely because lie was struck with admiration of its many tuereted walls. We had luneheon at the Fife Arms, where we were all overpowered by Mr. Fussell, who, having been allowed by the coachman to drive for about helf a mile as we came-, became so puffed up by his an. PeeioritY, mud so tiresomely loud in his boasts about his driving that Fa- bian being too much occupied with Babble to shut him up, and nobody else having the requisite dash and disregard of other people's feelings, we all sneaked away from the table one by one as quickly as we could, and left him to finish by himself the champagne he had ordered. These three, therefore, spent the hours be- fore our return in the neighborhood of Braemar together. While keeping within the letter of his promise to have no more tete-a-tete walks with Babble, Fabian thus easily violated the spirit of it ; since Mr. Fussell, being too stout and too sleepy af- ter luncheon to do much walking, sug- gested frequent and long rests under the trees, which he spent with gen- tly cla-sped hands and a handker- chief over lila face to keep the flies off. The rest of us took a beastly hot walk to the Palls of Corriemuizie, and 1 wondered what I could have before seen to admire in them. Coining back, Mrs. Ellmer chased Maurice Browne nor some inaiscreet compliment. A tropical sun would not have taken; the vivacity out of that woman ! and Edgar fell through a fence on which he was resting, was planted in a bramble, and said "Damn" for the first recorded time in the pres- ence or me lady. That is all I remem- ber of the expedition. For the return journey, au Mr. Fus- sell had retired into the interior of the coach for a nap, being the laziest of men when he was not the busiest, I took the box -seat by the coachman, and was thus spared the sight Or an- other tete-a-tete. After dinner that evening Fabian disappeared as usual in the direction of the cottage, and on the following day, which was the last of my visitors' stay, he threw his promise to time winds so openly; that I began to, think ho must bays made up his mind to . let his principles go by the board, and make love seriously.

On • the morning of my guests' de- parture the howse was all astir at five o'clock in the morning. There was really no need for this effort, as the tra.ba did nut leave Banister till 8.25, ond my Norfolk cart and a fly front 'McGregor's would not be rut the door before half -past seven.

There is only one way to cure deafuess,and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Bustachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or Wiper - feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, anauhless the inflam- mation can betaken out and this tube restor- ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an iallumed condition of the mucous surfaces.

It is neither recognized in England nor in France 'tacit that cricket wan originally a French game, yet M. jueserane argues that this was the ease. The word "celeket" is derived from the Freneh crIgnet, which meant a stick planted in the ground anti '301'141g as goal in one of the forme sense in a. Ereuels slosument of 1475, of the game and it appears in that while, according to Murray, we do not meet with the evord in English till 1598. Two illustrations of the middle of the eighteenth century, one from a painting by Hayman in the Maryle- bone Cricket Club, the other from a French children's picture -book by- Gra-velot, show that the two gamer) called cricket in one case and jeude orosse in the other were identical. While in France it lost Its popularity, ,at least &monis the upper classes, like all games in. the eighteenth cen- tury, it grew in favor in England with the inereaeinis love of sport. Among the games represented in th'e miniatures of the Chantilly prayer - book may also be seen the jea de mail, which' was another form of the Jen de eresse, and consisted in hitting a wooden -bail with a mallet. It was sometimes called pale mail an Italian palla mignon from plift, bell and mal - lees, mallet, and from this was of course derived our Pall Mail, where the game was played in the days of Pepys. Dallington, at the end of the sixteenth century, had deplored that his countrymen had not yet adopted this game from the French. In Scot- land, however, it had been early practiced.

E. Worden, Of Flushing, N. Y., gives this narrative of the Agapenaoniets, one of the most remarkable of the religious sects of recent times: I am a living witness of the origin of that sect, which elates back nearly fifty years. I was intimately ac- quainted with the -starter of the be- lief, ho having been my father's personal friend, Bev. Mr. Starkey was a clergyman of the Church pi England, a man of considerable attainments and de- cidedly magnetic presence. ele had occupied my father's pulpit many times-, and -was capable of attracting large congregations. It Was in my parents,' Meuse that his delusion first manifested itself. Hundreds of my father's parishioners and of the ser- roueding ceurchee enlisted under the banner of Starkey. The most intel- ligent and refined people—lawyers, doctors and families of wealth were hypnotized by the man. (For regard- ing the belief from the standpoint of a sane Mince I must think he was a hypnotist.) Nearly every home in the southern part of England lost one or more of its members, a son, a husband, a daughter, or a wife, who followed blindly at Starkeyes lightest word. At the end of three or four years, when Starkey was at the zenith of his power and had a following of perhaps fifteen thousand, he and his disciples founded the 'Agape -mono" or 'Abode of Love." 011ie tabernacle was beet near CharlInch, iii Sentereet- shire, and was feu a most magnificent scale. There was no lack of money in the community, as the "faithful' were nearly all moneyed people, and all their wealth went into the gen- eral coffers. After come ten years of life in the "Agapemone," the prophet punctilio duties becoming somewhat too ardue oue, and his responsibilities as the Almighty too heavy. Therefore, he took ad assistant, one Prince, the son of a hairdresser in Bath, pro- claiming him to be the Christ. This Increased his power and strengthen- ed the belief of his subjeots. For some years longer, they lived in. apparent reppectability and quiet, but, famine supposed spirituality de- veloped into positive immorality and ineleceney, anti some of the saner be- lievers left the "ebode of Love" Naturally, an expose followed amid Starkey was incarcerated in an in- sane asylum.
