"About Abracadabra, lady fair ?" "Yes." "I am to hear now," said Redwood, bit- terly "that you've been laying against my horse. 1 hope you have.

"Go oa with your story, Causton as I'm bound to hear it. More little birds, I suppose." " Yott've fired straight this time, dear boy. Other little birds mine down the chimney, and whisper to lady fair that Abracadabra will be second in the Derby." " Whet, wise little birds," sowed Red- wood. " But we've heard. that sort of thing before. A woman lies in bed the night before a big race with her window curtain up. Waning suddenly and opening her oyes, she sees a star. The next day she relate) her dream, and asks what star it was that shohe upon her in the nubile of the night, and is told it's Mars. That's the name of a horse in the race, and it happens that Mars wins. " I knew it would," she cries. "What a fool I was not to back it 1 1 shall never get such another chance." It is my to prophesy after the event, If by some cursed stroke of leek Abracadabra, Is second instead of first Ilonaria will be mnurning that she didn't take advantage of the tip given to her by hoe little birds." She has taken advantage of it, dear boy. She has accepted. fairadds that Abra. cadabra is second, and second. only. She stands to win a pot on it." Indeed ! ra tell you whab do, Honoria. If Abracadabra, is second in the Derby, I will make you a present of a horse." "I hold you to your promise," said Ronoria. "You area, witness, Major." " I am, fair lady," "Is a witness necessary," asked Redwood, with suppressed passion. "Did you ever know me make a promise I didn't perform?" "1 do," said Honoria. "Carry your memory, back, Redwood."

' The Matte., of Goodeby." Nothing is more. kdiculeus and tiresome n civilized life than our leave-teking for- nattlities. Good-bys are either tortures or plenitedes. Way eliould we subject oureelvee or our friends to either one? Everybody yen eneet tells you he " hates M say good -by. Yet, if he sees you. at 6 and you tell him you are going away at Se and attempt te make au informal adieu then and there, he says with reproving politeness, " Oh, I snail call around about 7 and say good -by." • • , • You thank him for his kindness, at the same time wishing he would riot come. If he is a friend you dearly prize, it robs the parting of all sentiment to have ie take place in the fuss and hurry of departure, and this final adieu but renders the agony of parting more lingering. • If he is a mere acquaintance, it compels you to hear and to reiterate some worn-out phrases which amount to nothing when said; " So glad to have met you." "Rope we shall meet again." " 2'rust yon will have a pleasant journey." " Thank you ; you are very kind." • And yet I hear people every day express- ing the most profound regret when they have missed an opportunity of " saying good -by" to some ono. I met a lady at the house of a mutual acquaintance one day, and the hostess mentioned her probable de- parture within the week. The lady then expressed all duo regret at the thought of losing her society, and all necessary pleasure at having made her acquaintance. A day or two later I chanced to refer to the fact that she had gone, in the presence of the lady. Gone ! So soon !. and I never called to sayegood-by," cried the poor creature in accents of heartfelt grief. Now, what possible pleasure could have resulted to either party in a formal adieu? All had been said in the previous anne that was necessary. Imbued with the ridiculous idea that this form was necessary and. expected of me, I waitecl half an hoer "to say good -by " to a lady recently, It was my dinner hour, but as the lady was completing her final pre. partitions for travel and the carriage was at the door, I was obliged to wait When she descended, preoccupied and flurried, she was obliged to shift her travelling wraps and parasol from her right to tbe left hand before giving mo the final band -clasp. Then we both smiled, and. she said, "So kind of you to call." I said, " Not at all ; I hope you will have a pleasant journey." he said, "Thank you—so kind—good.by." said " Good-hy." Then she entered the carriage and said "Good -by" from the door, and I walked away and looked over my shoulder and said " Good -by," and she drove oil' and I went home to a cold diuner. Could anything be more ridiculous t • And yet we are doing it daily. A lady I know visits twice a year in a family of nine people, "Tho ordeal of say- ing good -by to all these persons separately stares me in the face for two or throe days before I leave," she once said to me, ." • ' 1. am expected to kis eve women and child- ren awl thank Mali one separately for her kindness to maa; then lshake two masculine heoacnidi. sofant,idw niiao people says agr something agreeable, mid then good -by three times bane I get off. It really exhausts Tne. ',Wish I could walk out of the door and sates, Well, good morning,' and have themnake the rea . for granted, or lot me aaatatn to them what was to be said." The last kiss between the &mese of friends is liable to be a very automatic affair if taken at the hour of departure, in the midst of anxiety over trunks, setebele, um- brellas and tickets. As for our American system of paying our respects to the hostess before leaving alarms entertainment, nothing conla be more awk- ward or embarrassing ; and I rejoice to see it giving way to the more graceful Old World fashion of a quiet exit. Very few people knowhow to make their adieux after a formal call. Many a delight- ful visit has been spoiled by a. tadious leave- taking. I have seen callers rise to go and felt genuine regret, so keen had been the plea- sure of the visit; but before the door closed upon them I have felt tempted to give them a gentle push., so laborious and lingering have been them adieux.

DEAR Si,—Your "Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pine' are the best regulator for the system that humanity, can use. Life as as the time.plece : frail and delicate are many of its works. A tiny particle of foreign substance adheres to the smallest wheel in the works, and what is the reatilt?—at first, only a slight difference is perceptible in its threekeepmg, but wait you; as the obstruction grows, the irregularity beoomes greater, until at last, what could have been rectifier, with little trouble, in the beginning, will now rectum- mueh care in thoroughly cleansing the entire works. So it is in human life—a slight derangement is neg. lected, it grows and increases, imperceptibly at first, then rapidly, until what could, is the beginning, have been cured with little trouble, becomes almost fatal, To prevent this, I advise all to purify the system frequently, by the use of Morse's Pills, and so preserve vigor and vitality.

Addy. ne,171.111 LADIES isotoe stateeznee, retarboxough, Canada, "Boy" and. Widow" in Ireland. Nothing is more likely to perplex the English visitor to Ireland. than to find. Eng- lishwords used there in a different sense from that in which he has been accustomed all his life to use them. One of the best-known examples, perhaps, that could be cited is tne peculiar sense in which the word "boy" is used, being infect equivalentsto the English "bachelor." A young man is a "boy" until ho is married, and, though less widely, "girl" is used in a miner way to denote a spinster. To a "foreign" ear it sounds ludicrous to hear a gray-haired man or woman spoken of as a 'boy" or a "girl," but to one accustomed to the country the fuller meaning is clear. If it is intended to convey the idea of youth as a rule quite a different expression is used be a "wee chap," a "gossoon," a "lad," or, for one more grown, 'a lump of a lad" isthe expressive designation. Equally peculiar, but much more intelligible, is the Irish use of widow. Widow in Ireland is nob, as in England, feminine.
