It was early in the morning of a lovely
day in June that a rather large group of
idlers gathered in front. of the Etheridge er speed, and they drove hurriedly past.
Arms, a quaint old tavern in the ane - A few yards farther on they reached
ivy. Young Cassinove, who felt a deep
interest in all these scenes, would have
paused to contemplate this venerable
ruin, but again the impatience of his
employer urged the postillion, to great -
fent little town of Swinburne, situat
in one of the most picturesque and beau-
tiful counties in the West of England.
They were standing within the arched
gateway, or leaning against the solid
masonry of the side walls, that looked
strong enough and old enough to have
the south gate of the park, guarded by
the ancient porter's lodge.
They passed under the lofty archway
and entered upon the beautiful grounds
that lay more immediately arounda the
castle.
Swinburne Castle was of later date
been those of some ancient keep, and than the ancient keep, the ruins of which
which, in fact, had done good service they had just passed, and from which it •

A young man of obscure origin, left to
the benevolent guardianship of Colonel
Hastings, who had defrayed the expenses
of his education at school and college,
and afterwards taken him into his fam-
ily as Me private secretary. Yet all
of Italy's genius, passion and poetry
smouldered in the !(cart of the young
secretary, and these.evere kindled into a
sudden blaze by the electric spark of
love.
lliiss Dorton! A lady of rank, and, per-
haps, of fortune! Olt, if she were not
already wooed and won! Give hien time,
and, under the inspiration of his love for
her, he would win wealth, distinction, a
glorious name, and lay then( all at her
feet. If this passion was sudden as it
was ardent, remember that Ferdinand
Cassinove was of the Celtics race,. Yea;
, be would win the world and lay it at
her feet.
I In the midst of the pleasing pain of
this love- dream, the door opened, and
the grey-haired servant whom Ferdinand
had seen in the hall entered softly, and
stepping across the room to where the
lady sat, and speaking in the low, sub-
dued tone in which royal personages are
addressed, said:
1 "Afv lady, Colonel Hastings' respects,
was, indeed his castle.
By their looks and conversation, it
was evident that some event of unusual
importance was expected to come off.
"The coach will be late; what wull
be keeping her?" inquired Broding, the
village smith, as he returned, disap-
pointed, from one of these surveys.
"What do'ee think; wull the bridegroom
be doon for sure?" he asked, turning to
an ostler, who had left the stable yard
for the same purpose.
"Wull the young squoir be doon? Of
course he wull! Dunnot he send down
his groom to speak rooms in the house,
with orders to have fires kindled? Why,
mun, the young squoir wull never be late
at such a. time," replied the ostler, in
contemptuous tones.
"A good job if un never coo at all.

lady, and lord it over our castle. When

Behind the castle arose the thick, im-
penetrable woods bordering the open
chase; before it lay a smiling landscape,
diversified by parterres of flowers,
groves of beautiful trees and a small,
clear lake, shaded by overhanding wil-
lows and adorned by a flock of graceful
white swans.
An exclamation of delight broke from
the lips of Cassinove as his eyes fell up-
on this scene of exceeding beauty, now
lighted up as it was by the gloniaus sun
of June.
They drew up before the central tran-
sept that connected the two long wings
of the castle.
Two grooms, in waiting without, im-
mediately came forward to attend Col-
onel Hastings, who alighted first,
followed closely by his secretary.
One of the grooms dismissed the
post chaise, while the other knocked at

Punishing a Practical Joker.
Justice Callahan a few days ago deliv-
ered a judgment which entitles him to be
ranked with Solomon. A young man
was brought before him, charged with
frighteuing a young woman. Having
gone to her home and secured an inter-
view with (ler, he produced a bottle lab-
eled "carbolic acid," drank its contents,
fell on the floor, and pretended 'to be dy-
ing. The effect on the young woman
may easily be imagined. The fellow
was arrested and taken before Justice
, Callahan, who, after hearing the story,
- fined him $200, and he is now presum-
ably at the Bridewell cracking rock.

Months for Lucky Marriage.
The superstition concerning the luck that
is likely to attend a marriage in any particu-
lar month is expressed In the following verse:
"Marry when the years is new,
Always loving, kind and true;
When the February birds do mate,
Yoe may wed, nor read your fate,
It you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Mary in April when you can,
Toy for maiden and for man,
Marry in the month of May,
You will surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses blow.
Over land and sea you'll go.
They who in July do wed,
Must labor always for their bread
2 Whoever wed to August be,
Many changes are sure to neo.
Marry in September's shine,
Your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry,
Lovo will come, but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November,
Only joy will come, remember.
When bocember'e snows fall fast,
Marry and true love will last."

wealth, and Canada is accordingly dis-
Xuting the boundary line claimed by
Newfoundland. The coast belongs to the
latter country, but the interior—beyond
a line not yet definitely located—belongs
to Canada.
In 1809 the eastern littoral was given
to Newfoundland and the unknown hin-
terland to Canada or rather to the Hud-
son Bay Company. Com an . As laid down in the
documents the boundary is a mistaken
one, since it conflicts with an express
grant of the coast to Newfoundland.
Negotiations are noiv in progress for an
amicable adjustment. A refusal of New-
fo"ndland to pay royalty to Quebec for
timber cut at Hamilton Inlet has brought
differences to a climax. Accurate sur-
veys are being made with a view to a
decision, the last word being with the
Privy Council or arbiters chosen by the
London Government.
At some points Newfoundland's claims
extend 200 miles inland, but Canada will
not concede a strip along the whole coast
of this coast. The latter wants an outlet
on the Atlantio without having to pass
through a coastwise strip owned by her
neighbor. Forests and minerals—gold
particularly—are thought to abound in
the disputed area, It will not surprise

itself. He Is rosy and chubby of face, and
his nody is a formidableable paradox. Ahd this
astonishing man este enthroned with a won-

His lip is scornful, and he heeds not the re-
