Ile longed to show it to Mona. Ile longed to hear her exelannations of delight at its beauty, and to display so distinguish- ed -looking a creature as his niece and adopted daughter --for pride was a very ruling passion in the heart of Sandy Craig. Still it cost bine a severe mental struggle to yield so much to his strong desire for Mona's company, as to write the letter above quoted. Once done, he was feverishly eager to reap the fruits of his surrender, and reckoned the days till Mona made her appearance. After a fatiguing journey, for the night was warns, Mona found herself at Glasgow in the gray of the morning. Early as it was, Kenneth, "in the garb of old Gaul," awaited her on the plat- form. He looked so martial and magni- efent that Mona did not recognize him at first. When srns did, she was disposed to laugh at what she considered his "fancy dress." He assured her, however, that it was his habitual costume when among the hills, and that the only differ- ence he had made was to put on his best go -to -meeting kilt and plaid in her hon- or. "Not altogether in my honor, Ken- neth," she said, when, having collected her luggage, they had time to exchange a few words. "Well, may be not," he returned, with a happy smile. "Now, if we leave by the one -twenty train for Kirktoun, we'll get to Craigdarroch by six o'clock. My uncle agreed not to expect you before so you can come away to Mrs. Robert- son's, where you can rest and have breakfast, through she will be half frigh- tened at so grand a young 1adyeas you area' "Grand. Why, Kenneth, you are chaff- ing me." He only Iaughed, and ceiling a cab, they drove away through dull streets as yet scarcely astir, to the modest man- sion of a Free Kirk minister, who was already in his study, and came forth to welcome the stranger lassie with kindly warmth; then his wife appeared, as neat and well appointed in her ' ,tton morning dress as if she had made an afternoon toilet; and lastly, Mary, blushing, with downcast eyes and a sweet smile flick- ering on her lips. The firs: thing Mona noticed was the golden red tinge in her eat, abundant hair. "If mine is half as pretty, I am con- tent" she thought as she offered her hand and said kindly -- "I am 'eery pleased to meet you." The words- the very tone in which they were said -made Mary look up, and then the smile shone nut in her honest, light blue eyes; these, and a red -lipped mouth rarely quite closed over very white teeth, redeemed her face from plainness. Her complexion, though clear and good, was much freckled, and the cheek bones were Somewhat high; still Marry Black was undoubtedly a `'bonnie lassie," and pleasant to look at, as Ken- neth evidently thought, as his face beam- ed when his eyes fell upon her. "You'll be awful tired after so many hours in the train; here,. Mary, take Miss Craig to tthe spare room. You'll maybe like to wash your hands and brush your hair a bit before you eat your break- fast?" "Thank you; Y feel I need ablution sorely." "I am so very pleased to see you," said Mona, when she and Mary had entered the sacred precincts of the spare room. "And eo ant I to sleet you; Kenneth told me what a good friends you have been to him; but you are not a like what I expected to see." "I suppose not; people never aro like what is expected." "I will leave you now, ring when you are ready, and I will show you the way to the breakfat(t room." At the table were gathered the min - biter's younger bairns; a big -boned lad of fourteen, a slight, thoughtful boy of nine or ten -both silently intent on fin- ishing their morning mea}, to be off in good time to a },col -and a chubby girl of six, evidently the pet of the family. The mother told with pride that their eldest boy was away doing wed in Japan, and ahother daughter had married in the spring, and was living in Liverpool. The long, devout grace, the `bowls of porridge and cups of milk, the voices, the dialect, all seemed to Mona like a chapter out of a Scotdh novel; yet it took her fancy. The kindness and frank hos- pitality had about them a self-respecting restraint --a thoughtful tone---thatsgave the impression of sincerity. She was struck with the superior softness and sweetness of Iienneth's and Mary's voices and recognized in them types of a very different race from that of the minister and Ids family. The host appeared to be acquainted 'With Mr. Craig, and spoke of hint with a touch of dry hunror here and there which strewed he was frilly alive to the peen• liarities of hie character. Mr. Itoberthon --a pleasant, tveii-neat] man, quire abreast of the modern thought movement seemed pleased to eenverso with hit young English guest.

Few brides are aware that white at- ' tire for nuptial ceremonies fs of com- paratively modern origin. Yellow was the eoler adopted by the Roman women in the remote ages anti even now pink is the color which finds favor with east- ern brides. In the middle ages and during the Ren- aissance brides wore crimson. Most of the Plantagenet and Tudor queens were married in that vivid hue, wide]! is still popular in parte of Britinnny, where the bride is usually dressed in crimson bro- rade. It was Mary Stuart who first changed the color of the bridal garments,, t At her marriage with Francis II. of France in 1558, which took place not be- fore the altar but before the great ' doors of Notre Dame. she was dressed in white brocade with a train of pale 1 blue Persian velvet six yards in length, This inuovatidm caused a great stir in the fashionnable world at the time. It was not however, until quite the end of the seventeenth century that pure white, the color before that worn by royal wi- dows, became popular for bridal gar- ments, eetd, With c:ttisfaetion, "Noor conte awe ttoyour nits bed chamber. You'll like it tine, I ant thinking." Uncle Sandy atumee.l tiawn the passage and intro- e?w'1 his niece to a pretty airy chain- lier. the swatnduws of which looked over the gar.lek, vtith a side glimpse of the h'eh, -My min] i5 next you.

"It is it charming room, and when 1 unpack I .hull make it look }quite pretty. The house has evidently been arranged •ranged by men, nude; it seems awfully bare." "•]twee], women have their uses. If 1 had been able to marry the lassie I loved, I would be a different mon this day." Mona soon found that life at Craig- darroch ,in ,":pile of the beauty that sur- rounded her, was not a bed of roses, lir. Craig viewed housekeeping ex- penses through the eunall end of his men- tal telescope, and td•ied to keep them clown to impossible limit' while at the bottom of hie manly heart he feared Mende the rook far too much to do more than grumble indefinitely. 'She is a wasteful dell," he whispered to his niece, the second day of bee so- journ at t`'raigdarroeh, when he was sol- emnly handing her the keys, anti in- ea-twang n-ea-tw ing her in the duties of her new position. "You can look after her better than I can, She just drinks pounds o' tea; twa ounces ought to do her and thq girlie for a week; and then the flesher's bill is just fearfu'. They twa want good neat meals every day." h"13ut, uncle, they intust have meat every day -no one would serve without at." "'Spell, its' just a bad new fashion. Seotehnnen grew to be what they are on good oatmeal." oas, when 1 used to be with yon in Lon - dun, I thought I .sane such a likeness be- tween you and Mary, and now you are together, it lits just vanished away?" "Like Miss Craig?"' V' Cried Mary, blush - in; and laughing. 'Tit, Kenneth, but your eyes must have been all wrong!" Thein a very confidential conversation ensued, and Mona promised to help the lovers in all ways. Indeed, her heart went out very warmly to the gentle, simple Highland lassie, and she privately congratulated Kenneth on his choice. Having been taken to tee the cathe- dral and some public buildings, she was given luncheon and hurried away to the :station. hr • • • * * * A splendid sunset was glorifying moor and mountain, the loch, and a distant glimpse of blue sea, when the travellers reached Kirktoun, where a very rusty old one-horse phaeton driven by Uncle Sandy himself, awaited therm. "Well, my dearie, the sight of you is' good for sair een!" he cried, with un- usual warmth, teaching down a hand to assist his niece to the seat beside him; adding in the same breath, "and I am right glad you have seen the error of your ways. I am always ready to for- give when I see ony ono in their right mind." a "I aarn very glad to see you, uncle. What delightful air1 It is like new life to breathe it," "Ay, it is just that! You'll grow strong and wee]. Hoo's a' wi' ye, Ken- neth? Did you see Mr. Macray, and get the papers? Eh, we canna carry the two hig boxes. Can ye do without them till to -morrow, Mona, and I'lI send the cart for them?" "Yes, uncle. I have my hand port- manteau, which is quite enough." Kenneth scrambled in behind, and after one or two stoppages at shops of the "general" order, they quitted the primi- tive little torn -which is a convenient , stopping and starting place for tourists and sportameta-•-and proceeded toward Craigdarroch, by a road which skirted the loch, traversed a pine wod, wound round the head of the water, and then ascended between pictucrsque rocks crowned with heather and waving bracken, or wound through clumps of fir and oak trees which grew in sheltered hollows, or led round some projecting angle of the hill, . from which eculd be seen a wide stretch of mdoriattd and mountain, all rich and varied with autumnal green, brown, pur- ple, (and gold, a dozen different tints melting into each other, while away west ! over the sea the sun was sinking in a flood of golden light. The old cart -horse that with bent head and patient toil dragged the vehicle up the long ascent, evidently understood his task too well to heed Uncle Sandy's "gee- upsand occasional applications of the whip. \Won they came to a gentle de- , cline or a few level yards, he broke into 1 a slow, henry trod -his great feet beat- i ing the road like sledge -hammers; then at the very first upward tendency he de - i liberately checked his pace to a steady walk, from which nothing could move him. Yet Mona en' loped the drive int- • mensely, The beautiful wild scenery; the soft, delicious, honey -sweet breeze, that from time to tine touched her cheek like a esreas; the restful silence, and perhaps, more than all, the unusually happy expression of Uncle Sandy's puck- ered face, gave her profound pleasure. At length, after rollowing a low moss and grass -grown wall for some way, they turned into a narrow road, at the diver- gence of which a wooden gate, with one broken hinge, lay helplessly open. "Noo," said Mr. Craig, with all the pride of proprietorship, "you are in the parks of Craigdarroch." "What a delightful country! What a pretty place!" 'Wait till you are up at the hoose. I think you'll say it is better than West- bourne Villas." The "hoose" was turned in a contra- dictory manner with its face to the hill, and built of melancholy, half -mourning graystone. Within, a short wide hall lighted from above Ied to the public rooms, and from it a passage branched off to the sleeping chambers, and a nar- row crooked stair led to various apart- ments above --for most of the house was only one -storey high. The drawing roots had a bay window, from the centre of which steps led down to a pleasure ground, consisting only of grass and groups of trues which grew abundantly in the shelter of the hill -but the view atoned for any deficient ornamentation. From this opened a pleasant room, to which the Glasgow occupier had added a square projecting window -also open - log like a door. This lead some book - eases and a writing table, and was digni- fied by the title of the library. A good dining roost with ordinary windows -for the ground sloped steeply away from that side of the house -and a long nar- row apartment containirq cone glass cases of birds and butterflies, some foe - rt rusty claymore or two, and the skeleton of a deer's head and antlers, which was termed "the Museum," ---these constituted the reception room. At the door stood a respectable gray- haired "dour" looking woman --•the cook and general servant ---and behind, the "bit lassie" who helped her: "Whaur's the boy," asked Mr. Craig, descending with the belp of his stiek and Kenneth's arm. "Tie's gone awa' to the forgo; the gray neer east a shoe as she was drawing lien the gravel for ,r vel or yon newt g valk. "Ah, and the gatdenert" "Oh, he's awe till hie tea."

"No wonder you think so, if you keep no accounts. I will not undertake im- possibilities, but if I do not give satis- faction, you must turn me away, Craig of Craigdairroch ought to live like a gen- tleman." "Eh, but that's weeI said!" cried Uncle Sand with Sandy, w t sudden enthusiasm, which showed Mona she had ]nit the right nail on the head. "Weel, do your best, dearie; but you mauna ruin me." "I will not try, uncle." So Mona took up her cross with cour- age, and found, as is often the case, that difficulties vanished at the touch of a bold hand. • * • • * -M * * A week of this new life passed rapidly. Mona found her hands full, nor was the work unpleasant. Her nature -was essbn- tially feminine, She loved order and delicate nicety in bar home, and thought no trouble too much to secure it. For- tunately, she succeeded in winning the allegiance of the cook, who, having an- ticipated that the stinginess of her mas- ter would bo inetnsified by 'the minute inspection of a mistress, was relieved to find a greatly increased degree of justice and liberality in the domestic govern- I went, The furniture, too, vexed her soul. ,It was excellent as regarded quality, but frightful in form and color. With much persuasion she induced Uncle Sandy to permit of her ordering pretty colored muslin curtains, a few cheap Orientit8 - rugs, 'and some small etceteras, - the choice of which Mona confided to Mary Black. These, with sundry baskets and pots of flowers disposed about the draw- ing room, so transformed it that Uncle Sandy scarcely recoil ized the once stiff and dreary chamber. "You're a clever lassie," he cried. "You I have made the place look grand at no great outlay- Noo, I'm hoping you'll no ask mair siller for a long time." "We shall want some additions to our furniture and decorations, uncle, before winter," returned Mona, who had learned from experience that the less Uncle Sandy was asked for, the less he was in- clined to give. "But I will tell you about them in gond time. Now that you are going -to reside here, you must have your house nice. I think you ought to be obliged to Miss Black for the trouble she has taken.' "Weel, and who says I am not? She and her people are Kenneth's friends, hey?" "They are. They were so kind aad ,hospitable to me winen I arrived, weary and way -worn, is Glasgow, that I should like immensely to ask her to spend a few days here on her way home, if you will permit one. She is a nice girl. I am sure you would like her." "Oh! ay, you may ask her as much as you like. Can she singg a Scotch sang?" "I have no doubt a)ie can. That re- minds me, we must have the piano tuned." "Tuned] Why, it was tuned before 1 Ieft home, and has no been played upon since." "My dear uncle, the mere lapse of time has reduced it too, sad condition." "And whaur-whaur is the tuner to come from?" "Cannot Kenneth find out?" "Aweel, we'll ask a bit at Mr. Metro tyre's" (the grocer and general dealer). "Wo are going into the toun after din- ner. I have to see the gentleman that has taken the moor about the fjlihing, or one of the gentlemen. There's a pair of them, and one has only -just come down." "Who are they ?" asked Mona, care. lessly, as she sewed on the band while hail come unstitehed from her uncle'e umbrella. "Ole! a Colonel Langton, and anither fresh from India, a grand mon, a Sir 1 something Lisle." "There's your umbrella, untie.

Preparation of Salads. -` As a rule a salad eenvoys to the average English mind merely a dish of cultivated .plants, such as lettuce, en- dive, cucumber, mustard, cress, onion or radish. Such excellent wild vegetables as sorrel, dandelion, wild chicory, shop. herd's purse, lady's smocls,,or even stone crop, alt dignified by the name of weeds aro well known to our :handl neighbors as admirable ingredients of a salad; but such plants, though growing abundant- ly in every grassy meadow, are almost unknown as materials for a salad in this country. Dressed by the discreet ad- dition of sound olive oil and pure wine vinegar, no more excellent adjtuuet to the Bold dish caul be suggested. The oil modifies and smooths the' peculiar flav- ors of the juices of the plant, while the vinegar softens the tissues, renders• them more digestible and gives an agreeable piquancy to the whole. The use of sal- ads prepared from tender plants by those who possess normal digestive powers is undoubtedly salutary and the constitu- ents of raw green vegetables contain salts which have a favorable effect upon the condition of the blood. -London Lan- cet. - I bought a horse with a supposedly incurable ringbone for $30.

MOIS1 DEROSOE, Hotel Keeper, St. Phillippe, Que. lank Spartan Mother Squirrel, I was snipe shooting in northwest Mis- souri this spring when two boys came along on their way home from town. Tho shooting was not so good but that there was time to stop and have a talk, and before we parted they Inad told. the fol- lowing story: They ]tad caught a grey squirrel and her four young ones, in the usual way, by stopping up the ]solo in a hollow limb. "We wanted to raise the young ones and took the another, so she'd raise them; but when we got them ]some and put her in the box with the young ones, she killed every one of them. Bit each one once through the heart. First she took hold of a little girl squirrel, and she acted kind of as if she didn't like to kill it, being as it was a girl, so she dropped it and went and smelled another one, and it was a 'he,' so she killed it, and then the other 'he's,' asd then she killed the girl last.' "What did you do with the mother?" I asked. "Well, sir, after she treated her child- ren that way, we didn't want her, and we turned her loose."--• Forest and stream. ♦-• Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. Diving for a Wife, In many of the Greek islands diving for sponges forms a eonsiderable part of the occupation of the inhabitants. ',rite natives make a trade to gather these, and their income from this source is far from contemptible. In one of the islands a girl is not per- mitted to marry until site has brought up a certain number of sponges and giv- en proof of her skill by taking them from a certain depth; but in some of the is- lands this custom is reversed. The fath- er of a marriageable daughter bestows her on the best diver among her suit- ors. He who can stay ]congest in the water and bring up the biggest cargo of sponges marries the maid-Londuo World. And as a rule worthless people have the best dispositions.
