ldiy father must have been well wands
of our preparations, for we did not at-
tempt to bide them; the household knew
only that Mips Dora was "going a jour-
ney," but he kw. better—that she wee
going to leave him and her old home,
perhaps forever more. Yet he said
nothing. Sometimes I caught him kook•
Lug earnestly at me—at the poor face
whk'eh I tow in the looking-glues-gruw-
ing daily more white and heavy -eyed
— yet he said nothing.
Penelope told me when, hearing me
fall, she had run into the library that
night, he bade her "take the child away,
and say she must nut speak to him un
this srsbject any more." 1 obeyed. f
behaved all through those three weeks
as if each'day had been like the innu-
merable other day. that I had sat at my
father's table, walked and talked by his
side, if not the best loved, at least as
well loved as any of hi. daughters. But
it a -as an ordeal such as even to remem-
ber gives one a shiver of pain, wonder-
ing how one bore it.
During the daytime I was quiet
enough, being so busy, and, as I said,
Penelope was very good to me; but at
night I used to lie awhile, seeing, with
open eyes, strange figures about the
room—especially my mother, or some
one I fancied was she. I would often
talk to her, asking her if I were acting
right or wrong, and whether all that I
did for Max she would not have once
done for my father; then rouse myself
with a start, and a dread that my wits
were going, or that some heavy illness
was approaching me, and if so, what
would become of Max.
At length arrived the last day—the day
before my marriage. It was not to be
here, of course, but in some London
church, near Mrs. Ansdell's, who was to
meet me herself at the railway station
early the same morning, and remain
with me till I was Dr. Urquhart's wife.
I could have no other friend; Penelope
and I agreed that it was best not to risk
my father's displeasure by asking for her
to go to my marriage. So, without sis-
ter or father, or any of my own kin, I
was to start on my sad wedding morning
quite alone.
During the week I had taken an''
opportunity to drive over to the Cedars,
shake hands with Colin and his wife,
and give his dear old mother one long
kiss, which she did not know was a good-
bye. Otherwise I bade farewell to no which even at the last moment might

In that dark, gloomy London church,
which a thundery mist made darker and
stiller, I first saw again my dear Max

startled and shocked, that it was only
the sight of ins which overcame him—
that he was really better. And su whoa,
after the first few minutes, he asked me,
hesitatingly, "if I did not find him much

I should soon get acustomed to his gray
hair; besides, I never remembered him
either particularly handsome or portico-
larly young;" at which he smiled; and
then I knew again my own Max : and all
things ceased to feel w mournfully
strange.
We went into one of the far pews, and
Max tried on my ring. How his hands
shook ! so much that all my trembling
passed away, and a great calm came over
me. les, I had done right. He had
nobody but me.
So we sat side by side, neither of us
speaking a word, unul the pew-.pener
came to say the clergyman was ready.
There several other couples waiting to
be married at the same time— who had
bridesmaids, and friends, and fathers.
We three walked up and took vur place
—there was no one to pay heed to us. I
saw the verger whisper something to
Max, to which he answered "Yee,' and
the old man came and stood behind Mn.
Ansdell and me. A few other folks were
dotted about in the pews, but I only
noticed them as moving figures, and dis-
tinguished none.
The service began, which I—indeed
we both—had last heard at Lasabel's
wedding, in our pretty church, all flow-
er adorned, she looked so handsome and
happy, with her Buten near her, and her
father to give her away. For a moment
I felt very desolate; and hearing • pew

the aisle, I trembled with a vague fear
that something might happen. something

gently, he put me away from him.
"We had better end this, Dora; i can-
not bear it. Kiss me. Good -by."
"And not one blessing? Papa, papa :"
My father rose, and laid his hand sol-
emnly on my head: "You have been a
dutiful girl to me in all things save this,
and a good daughter snakes a good wife,
Farewell ! Wherever you go, God bless
you ,..
And as he closed the library door upon
me I thought I had taken my last look
at my dear father.
It was only six o'clock in the morning
when Penelope took me to the station.
Nobody saw us—nobody knew. The
man at the railway stopped us, and
talked to Penelope for full two minutes
about his wife's illness—two whole min-
ute* nut of our last five.
My sister would not bid me good -by,
being determined, she said, to see me
eosin, either in London or Liverpool,
before we sailed. Rhe hod kept me rap
wonderfully, and her last kiss was almost
cheerful. nr she made it seem en 1 eau
went like a stab to my heart. The nmin-
ter,thinking there was some mistake, said
again: "Who giveth this woman t.• be
married to this man ?'
"I do."
Ii was not a stranger's voice, but my
dear father's.
My hdsband had asked me where 1
should best like to go for our marriage
journey. i said to St. Andrew's. Max
grew much better there. He seemed
better from the very hour when, papa
having remained with us till our train
started, we were for the first time left
alone by our two selves. An expression
ungrammatical enough to be quite
worthy, Max would say, of his little lady,
but people who are married will under-
stand what it means. We did, I think,
as we sat still, my head on his shoulder
and any hand between booth his, watch-
ing the fields, trees, hills, and dales fly
past like changing shadows, never talk-
ing at all, nor thinking much, except—
the glad thought came in spite of all the
bitterness of these good -byes ---that there
was one good-bye which never need be
said again. We were married.
I was delighted with St. Andrew's.
We shall always talk of our four days
there, so dress -like at the time, yet af-
terward become clear in rememhrtnce s
down to the minutest particular. The
sweetness of them will last us through
many a working hour, many an hour of $
ear's --such as we knew must come, in
oars as in all human lives. We are not f
afraid; we are together.
Our last day in St. Andrew's was Sun-
day, and Max took nee to his ovn Pres- to

Amen' 80, when this life is ended,
may we appear, even there still together,
my husband and I !
Contrary to our pans, we did not see
Rockmount again, nor Penelope, nor my
dear father. It was thought best not,
especially as in a few years, at latest, we
hope, God willing, to visit them all again,
or perhaps even to nettle in England.
After a single day spent at Treherne
Court, Augustus went with us one sun-
shiny morning on board the American
steamer, which lay so peacefully in the
middle of the Mersey, just as if she were
to he there forever, instead of eailing,and
we with her one little half hour—sailing
tar away, far away, to a home we knew
not, leaving the old familiar faces and
the old familiar land.
It seemed doubly precious now, and
beautiful—even the sandy flats, that Max
had so often told me about, along the
Mersey shore. I saw him look thought-
, fully toward them, after pointing out to
me the place he know, and where his
former work had lain.
"That is all over now," he said, half
• sadly, "Nothing has happened as I plan-
ned. or hoped, or—"
"Or feared."
"No. M7 dear wife, no ! Yet all
has been for good. All is very good. I
shall find new work in a new country."
"And I too ?"
Max smiled. "Yes, she too. We'll
work together, my little lady !"
The half hour was soon over—the few
last words soon said. Bu't I not at all
realize that we were away till I saw Au-
gustus wave us good-bye, and heard the
sudden boom of our farewell gun as the
Europa slipped off her mail tender, and
went steaming seaward alone—fast, oh !
so fast.
The sound of that gun, it must have
nearly broken many a heart many a
time : I think it would have brokenminc
had I not, standing close -clasped, by my
husband's side, looked up in his dear
face, and read, as he in mine, that to us,
thus together, everywhere was Horne.

"The sulks are catching," I used to
hear an old lady say in my childhood,
and never was a truer word spoken. If
any one does not know what "the sulks"
are, I should be happy to give all the in-
formation in my power. They are no
low spirits, grief or even temper.
When one person is low-spirited others
may attempt to cheer him up. When he
is in grief they may feel sorry for him,
yet be cheerful themselves. A fit of bad
temper may cause a quarrel, but the sulks
are something different from all these—a
moody, grumpy, disagreeable condition,
to which nothing in nature is so much
akin as a wet day in November.
Let one person of a family come down
to breakfast with the sulks, and persist
ently remain in that condition, and be
fore the meal is over every face at the
hoard will look long and sallow, and
every eye dull. Requests for "more
coffee" will be growled out as though
they were petitions for more poison
"Pass me the butter" will be uttered as
though the speaker meant palm me the
poniard& Every dish will fall under a
ban, and the very eggs seem blighted.
Finally, those who go out will get
their hats with a sort of sigh, put them
on solemnly growl "good morning," and
lave thou who remain in a state o
gloom, which causes them to retire t
their chambers to weep.
Sulks in the evening are even worse,
and sulks at a pec-nic spread like wild-
fire. in fact the disorder is so contagious
that it is my opinion that the moment
any one is seen with fallen checheeks,.pro-
truding lips, bent brows, and an air of
contemplating suicide, that the person

es again, but there will be no enthusiamn
over her return. The princess has not
taken with us, or it would be more can-
did to say we have not taken with her.
She as au intellectual woman, of educat-
ed and aesthetic tastes, who dotes upon
flue aces aad loves to be with those who
practice find encourage them. Canada
is an untanned wilderness to her. Thu
best we esu offer is beneath her notice.
She abhors C&nsdian society, nor can
she be Nisch blamed for that. When
she fleet tame among us there was a
magnificent ball given, and the couduct
of many of the guests act offended and
disgusted the princess that she has never
forgiven the country for the ill -breed-
ing and gross behavior displayed ou that
occasion. It was a moat scandalous
affair, Canadians, who are proverbial for
their enthusiasm whenever one of the
royal family co.nes among them, were
this time intemperately so. Politicians,
militia officers, the bar, and even the
gravity of the bench succumbed to this
parxoysm of loyalty. Think of it, the
judicial ermine reeling in its steps glor-
iously drunk. The scene became a dis-
graceful revelry, and to., princes, who
insists upon the respect due her imperial
origin, was accosted with the rudest and
most vulgar familiarity. It is an open
secret that she soon acquainted her royal
mother of her horror of the country and
begged her permission to return to Eng-
land. Her life here has been exile to
her, and only the threat of
THE QCSE!Y's DISPLE ISCRS
which is no easy thing to lie under, and
the remonstrances of the English pre -
prevented open disobedience on the part
of the princess. At last the accident,
where she was injured by the upsetting
of a sleigh, was made a sufficient excuse
for her return to England. Now we
have a report that the marquis of Lorne
has determined to resign the governor -
generalship. The pretence is that he,
with his father, the duke of Argyll, is
not in accord with the Gladstone govern-
ment on the land bill. The truth is
that the princess is determined not to
live in Canada. She is of masculine
character, which her childless married
life has perhaps in some degree devel-
oped. and the marquis is the most obedi-
ent of husbands. Of course it would
never do to have .hem live apart, and
the marquis must go. The pri.tcess will
probably come over to superintend the
packing, and to show, for the sake of
appearances, some consideration for the
tender feelings of the Canadians. The
viceregal court was only a fleeting joy.
The princess was a stickler for etiquette,
such as she has been accustomed to at
home, and the Canadians, utterly unac-
customed to the court forms, were so
awkward and slow in acquiring them
that they in turn became disgusted, and
the whole thing was abandoned. The
princess had her page to carry her train,
and Lept herself aloof, and that was all
that remained to show we had one of
the blood royal with us. Like her
mother, she inherits the spirit of thrift,

at Rideau hall. When Lord Dufferin
retired to recommend his cook to the
princess and the marquis, who engaged
him. Under Lord Dufferin his pay and
his perquisites had netted him about
$6,000 a year: but under the new regime
he found there was no money in it, and
gave up the situation. The princess
kept the keys and watched the larder.
'Ile marquis politically has been a fail-
ure, and succeeding as he did Lord Duf-
ferin, the most dexterous politician who
eter oisited Canada, t"he failnre should
have been anticipated. His father, the
dunce, came over, but he did not take at
all. The marquis has not received due
credit. He is by no means a fool, but
on the contrary a sensible, pleasant un-
affected gentleman, with very democratic
manners, and liked by all of his domes-
tics, which is a good sign that his man-
ners are genuine. But he is not a man
by disposition of habit who can stand
constantly in the public glare like Duf-
ferin, and feel at home. The report of
his intended resignation is denied by the
government. But this is a mere evas-
ion. The departure of the marquis has
only been deferred. I shall own myself
a poor prophet if the fall does not see
him homeward bound.

The Toronto Mail's attempt to injure
Mr. Blake by calling him a conspirator
against Mr. $isndtield Macdonald only
moods upon its own friend. The more
that the fall of John Sasdfield Macdon-
ald's government is disowned, the worse
it appears for the Conservative party.
We have already stated two facts nut
generally known. tlaa is, that previous
to the election set 1871 Mr. Semifluid
Macdonald obtained a pledge from this
Conservative colleagues in the cabinet
that they would use their influence to
bring moderate men into the field as
government candidates—moderate Lib-
erals and moderate Conservative*, will-
ing to support the government. His
colleagues broke that pledge, and where -
ever they were stile to do so the Conser-
vatives brought out and elected extreme
party men. The other fact is, that
there always subsisted between Mr.
Sandfield Macdonald and Blake a str..n{
bond of sympathy. and that only a short
time before his death Mr. Macdonald
said he respected no man in the Domin-
ion more highly than Mr. Blake. And
now a third fact is, that after the defeat
of his government, when asked by his
Liberal followers what they should .lo,
Mr. Macdonald said: "Support Mr.
Blake; have nothing "to do with the
Conservatives; I ani dune "with them;
they have played false to me." These
facts should forever dispose of the .Mail's
familiar charges of seduction and con-
spiracy, so far at least as they relate to
the conduct of the Liberal leader.

fixed at $1; life members, $10. The
society starts with a roll of 80 members.
The following officers were elected: John

took fright at a dug, and sprang forward,
detaching the tongue from the neck,

left there without control, and the ter-
rified animals dashed furiously down the
hill, the tongue ploughing alone the
road at their feet. Opposite Lawrence

ground and sending the unfortunate oc-
cupants of the wagon with great force ti,

to a house near by, and Dr. Mackid was

sustained the severest injuries. Several
ribs were broken, her ane was badly
fractured, her spine injured, together
with various cuts and contusions on
other parts of her body. Mrs. Irwin
