BY NORA LAITGEBIl. "1 am truly sorry, Oliver, for I had quite set my heart upon you marrying Madeline; but I suppose it cannot be helped, lad. Yeung people should please themselves. I only hope you have chosen wisely, and that Miss St. Hilda will make you a good wife." "1 have not yet asked her to marry me, father, for I want you to see her first. I hate to displease you by marrying against your wish; but I assure you that when once you have seen Aimee St. Hilda you will love her almost as much as I do. I really am sorry, dad, that I cannot marry Madeline, the fact is we have been so much together we are more like brother and sister." "Well, my boy, it shall never be said that Harold Ingoldsby stood in the way of his only son's happiness; whoever you marry shall have your old father's love." "And I, in return, will never vex you by marrying a girl you dislike. But I am sure when once you have seen Miss St. Hilda all your doubts will vanish. She is a sweet, true girl, nothing vain and coquettish about her. She will make a loving daughter to you and a kind friend to Maddie. I am go- ing to drive her to Rosedale to -morrow to call upon her aunt, Mrs. Barton, could we not call at the bank too? I am anxious for you to see her. You have only to see her to love her dearly." "Well, well, Oliver, as you wish; bring Miss Aimee. I trust for your sake I shall like her." The old gentleman turned aside his head to hide the look of sorrow revealed on his benevolent face as he thought of Madeline Vernon'the little adopted daughter he had hoped to see his son's bride. The Ingoldsbys, father and son, wealthy Toronto bankers, were walking briskly—for it was a cold March morning—from the bank on Wellington street to the Union Station. The elder to take the cars to Lon- don. As they neared the corner of Bay street, Oliver Ingoldsby bethought himself of a particular message he had forgotten to bid the head clerk despatch to Montreal. Grasping his father's hand affectionately, and bidding him a hasty good morning, he hurried back to the bank. The old gentleman looked proudly after the tall, manly form of his son, and gave another deep sigh as he again thought of Madeline—the little Scottish child, whom his beloved wife had adopted the year be- fore her death fifteen years ago—now a lovely, dark-haired, brown -eyed lassie of eighteen summers'the pride of his heart and sunshine of his home. After procuring his ticket for London, Mr. Ingoldsby took a seat in the cars. Shaking the light snowflakes from his coat, and turning down the high beaver collar, he drew from his capacious pocket the Morning Globe, and with his gold -rimmed spectacles on his nose, proceeded to read the latest suggestions made by the aldermen in reference to the Queen's Jubilee. Somewhat interested in what he was per- using, he did not, at first, notice the am. preach of a tall, stylishly dressed girl, who took her seat directly in front of him. She was accompanied by two other young ladies evidently come to start her upon her jour- ney. In all probability Mr. Ingoldsby would never have given these three young ladies a thought had not their loud and unceasing chatter disturbed him. He was preparing to betake himself away from their noise to a seat at the other end of the car where he could read in peace when the name Aimee St. Hilda arrested him. "Aimee St. Hilda," said one of the young ladies, "you are just the very luckiest girl in the city of Toronto 1 Why, I'd give one of my ears, and new diamond earring into the bargain to be engaged to such a real handsome fellow as Oliver Ingoldsby." "Handsome indeed 1" replied Miss St. Hilda with a shrugof her sloping shoulders." I don't call him at all handsome. He's dark and I detest dark men. He is not half as good looking as Bernard Lascelles. You know whom I mean, girls; that adoreble blonde fellow I told you I met at the Mont- real Carnival and who has corresponded with me ever since. You see, my dears, Oliver has money and that's what I am going to marry. Bernard is just lovely, but alas 1 he is so poor he could not afford to keep me in gloves and I don't believe in love in a cot- tage." But are you really engaged to Mr. In- goldsby ?" asked the third, a quieter look- ing girl who had scarcely spoken before. Well, really, Alice," said Miss Aimee, testily, "since you wish facts I will give them to you. He has not asked me to marry him yet ; but you bet it won't be long first. I've regularly hooked him, he's just dead in love with me. He said one day that he would never marry against his father's wish; but that he knew he would love me dearly. I have never seen the old gentleman. Both he and Oliver are dead set against flirting, so I guess I had better take care what I am about for a time. "0, my, yes, Aimee 1 I geese you'll have to behave a little differently until you have quite hooked him. We must be off. Come Alice, beery up, dear. By -by, Aimee, ma chere, we'll meet the care yet return by to- night," and the two girla hestened on to the platform. "WIiat a bleaSing that I have overheard this conversation," thaught Mr, Ingoldsby. " I trust I shall save Oliver now frorn his blind Infatuation. But perhaps elang i the worst' feature of the case, the girl may have some redeeming points. Why net try to make heracquaintance now and give her a fair trial for Oliver's sake ?" Mr. Ingoldeby'e kind heart was heavy as he again thought of his modest little rose- bud, Madeline, whom he knew leered hie scm eo truly. ".Ah 1 how will the blow strike her ? Poet, polar little Meddle 1 And yet, for the lad's sake, I must be Net," He gave a groan of horror as he tried to think how he shottid beat prodeed. • • At litet, AMIN; hunaself to the trying 9094, he let hie peperf hem beiere hits face. InneediatelY ix fteut � i1rneet Mise Aimee St. Hildee remerlta,bly handeoine girl, enveloped ut. leng 4ea1 saeelte, A heavy friuge of heir, profueely Neeched end baeged, rested upon her white forehead and surrounded a jeunty 1ttte sold joekey cap, ernemented with humming birds, " Humph 1" thought the old gentlenian, "she would be very pretty if She had not such a bold look and if she would wash the paipt off her oheeks. Upon my word, girls had more sense when 1 was young." Miss St. Hilda lowered her bright, clerk, eyes to the depths of her dainty little litun- ming.-bimurd ornamented seal mud, coquettish- ly sing them the next instant to hnd her- self—as she thought—still observed achnir, ingly. This went on for some seconds. Miss St. Hilda, by that time coming to the conclusion that she hed decidedly 'wide a "mash" un- fastened from her broech.pin a bouquet of violets which she audaciously pressed to her lips with a sly side glance at her elderly admirer. Then Mr. Iugoldsby blushed—yes 1 posi- tively blushed—at what he contemplated doing. Taking from his pocket a large, white cambric hardkerchief, which he flourished across his face, he marchecl boldly to the next seat and sat down by the side of its fair occupant. Soon they were, to all appearences upon the best of terms, and by-and-by the bou- quet of violets adorned the elderly gentle- man's coat. "Thank goodness she's gone !" breathed the old banker, as he, afterhanding his new acquaintance out of the cars at Hamilton, waved his handkerchief slightly in answer to some kisses thrown by the small gloved hand. "1 suppose if I had been ten years older, and not a hair upon my head, or a tooth left in my ancient Jaws, it would have been all one to Miss Aimee. Mashing and flirting seem daily food to some women, though, thank God, I think I can now save my boy from marrying such a one." Late that evening upon his return from London, the good old gentleman's blushes almost dyed his white whiskers, when, seat- ed by the cheerful fire in the cosy drawing - room of his home, at the crescene, he related to Oliver his morning adventure and showed him the bunch of -violets which still adorned his coat. Oliver laughed immoderately at the old banker's comical account for, of course he had not heard the lady's name, and indeed did not suppose that his father knew it. The following afternoon as Mr. Ingoldsby sat in his private office at the bank on Wel- lington street, awaiting the arrival of his son and Miss St. Hilda, he took from a glass of water on his desk the bouquet of violets and carefully placed them in his coat. No sooner had he done so than Oliver Ingolds- by entered "Father, this is Miss St. Hilda whom I have so often spoken of. I trust you will welcome her.—Why, Aimee, what is the matter ?" Miss St. Hilda's face—as much of it as was untouched by art—grew very white as she recognized Mr. Ingoldsby, and as he replied, Oliver, this cannot be the sweet, true, womanly girl whom you spoke about to me, for this—this is the identical young lady I met on the cars who gave me this bunch of flowers, after slangily talking of the rich young man, whom she did not love, but had hooked " and intended to marry. Al- though I did not tell you before, his name, she said, was Oliver Ingoldsby." Well, Oliver is to marry Madeline in the fall, and I can safely assert that they will be one of the happiest and most devoted couples in Toronto. Miss Aimee St. Hilda will never forget or forgive her elderly admirer, to whom, dur- ing their interesting flirtation, she present- ed with a bouquet of violets that March morning on the cars. A Highland Echo. In the course et last summer some strangers of disctinction were induced to visit a wild and unfrequented retreat in a distend part of the Highlands, chiefly from the report they heard of an echo, remarkable for the clear and distinct nature of its rever- beration. On reaching the spot from whence the trial of its powers is usually made their guide put his hand to the side of his mouth and bawled out with the lungs of a Stentor a salutation in Gaelic, which was repeated with a precision that seemed beyond the ex- pectations of the party. One of the gentlemen, by way of trying the strength of his voice, put his hand to the side of his mouth in the same manner as his guide, and called out: "How far are we from home ?" These words, much to the surprise of their guide, were also repeated, when poor Donald with a simplicity which brought a smile over the faces of all present, exclaimed : "Yon may think it strange gentlemen, but this is the first timeI ever heard our echo speak English." "1 have no doubt," said the gentleman, "but it can repeat other languages if you put it to the test," and instantly bawled out some brief questions in French, Spanish and • "Well, I must say, that's very queer: my own father and my own self have known that echo for more than seventy -years, and we never knew it use no language but Gaelic before." "Your echo is more learned, then, than you supposed ?" said the gentleman, laugh- ing, though at a loss whether to impute Donald's remarks to archness or simplicity. "You may say that, but we can tell you, sir," said the poor fellow, with an expression of earnest -mss that was highly amusing to thee° present, "as the echo has never been out of the country; where can she have got all her education ?" Priests With a Thousand Serpents. The small town of Werda, in the kingdom of Dahomey, is celebsatecl for its Temple of Serpents, a long building in which the priests keep upward of 1,000 serpents of all sizes, which they feed with the birds and frogs brought to them as offerings by the natives. These serpents, many of them of enormous size, may be seen hanging from the beams across the eeiling, with their heads hanging downward and in all sorts of strange center- tione. The pricets make the smell serpente go through variotts evolutions by lightly touching them with a rod, but they do not venture to touch the larger ones, some of which are big enough to infold a bullock in ' their coils It often lutppene that some of these serpents make their way out of the temple into the town, and the priests have the greatest difficulty in coaxing them back, fokill &serpent intentionally is a crime pun, 'sheltie with death, and if a turopeen Were to kill one the authority of the Xilighirnself would scarcely suffice to SaVe his life AnY one killing a serpent unintentionally must inforin the priest of What has occurred, and go through the course of purifieation which takes place elide a year TIEr.Z Ram ormiairzinasormo. It$14* ar A. 4, 1:111.01:114, Shortly after war was declared bY •the United States of America against Great Britain in 1812, a small party of Ettglish soldiers, consisting of about 30 men of the 10111 Royal Veteran Battalion, with a few hundred Canadian voyageurs and Indians, under the command of Captain Roberts, proceeded to attack the Araericen post on the Island of Miebilimaciltinam fleeting surprified the garrisons, the -Americens sur- rendered, and the fort wee immediately taken possession of by Captain Roberts end his little band of soldiers. The 10138 of this post was considered by the Amerieans as a most unfortunate event, as it virtually gave the British the control of that immense territory inhabited by the Weetern Indians —being along what was then the • west frontier of the United States, from San- dusky, on Lake Erie to the Mississippi River, termed the " IVIlehigan, Illinois end Indiana countries," which has since been divided into five different Statee, viz., Mich- igan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, The importance of Michilimackinac, as 0 military post, was not overrated. It's na- tural features, it's elevated position—being O high inaccessible rock on every side except the west—pointed it out as a most important military possees'on—" a fortress, built by nature for herself," " the key of the West- ern country," the value of which both the contending powers were fully cognizant. After Michilimacltinao was taken by the British, only a small detachment of soldiers were left to guard it. The isolated position of this garrison, as the war continued, was particularly trying, there being no settled inhabitants on the Island, except a few Ca. nadians engaged in the fur trade, and, with the exception of a visit from these men, or the chiefs of the various bands ot Indians who frequented the Island, there seldom occurred anything to cheer, or enliven the monoton- ous and lonely hours which were passed by this garrison. But a time was at hand when their position was to be changed into one of intense excitement and alarm. Towards the latter end of 1813, an Indian runner arrived at the fort with intelligence that the Ameri- cans were making preparations to retake Michilimackinac, and a large force would be sent for that purpose as soon as practicable. On receiving this information, an express was immediately despatched to "Head Quarters," by the officer commanding at Michilimackinac, with an urgent appeal for relief to be sent to thein; as they were not in a position either to stand a seige, or to seccessfully resist—without some reinforce- ment—the attack of the large force which, it was stated, would be sent against them. In the meantime, every effort was made by the garrison to strengthen the fort in case of an attack before assistance arrived. When this was done, that gallant little band of soldiers waited within that isolated post— hundreds of miles from where any immediate relief could reach them—the arrival of the enemy. Before, however, the express from Michi- limackinac could reach Kingston, the inten- tions of the Americans respecting that post were already known there; and so alarmed were the authorities of the safety of that place—the only stronghold which they had, at the time, on the Western Lakes—that an expedition was ordered to be fitted out with all possible speed, and despatched by the shortest route to its relief. At Kingston, where the expedition for the relief of Michilimackinac was ordered to be fitted out, a great deal of speculation was in- dulged in, as to whom would be chosen to take part in this arduous undertaking. The nature of the service; the difficulties the troops would have to encounter' in the wild. and desolate country throughwhich they had to pass; (a new route of nearly six hundred miles having been chosen,) were fully discussed, and soon became a subject of general interest amongst the troops in the town. Nothing definite, however, could be ascertained in regard to the exact time the expedition was to leave Kingston. Act- ive preparations were pushed on until the beginning of February, 1814, when, every- thing being them in readiness, a small party of workmen, including boat -builders, were sent on in advance. Almost immediately after their depart- ure the relieving party, consisting of ten of- ficers and two hundred picked men, exclus- ive of twenty artillery men, with a Lieuten- ant and 20 men of the Royal Navy, left Kingston under the command of Lieut. Col- onel Robert McDouall, of the Glengarry Light Infantry (formerlyof the 8th or King's Regiment,) who had been especially selected by Sir George Provost for this important service. Beloved by his soldiers a more gallant officer, a braver man, could not have been chosen to fill the duties of this arduous command. The troops commenced their march in severe wintry weather, and, as they advanc- ed they had to open the roads through the woods for the conveyance of supplies; and having proceeded upwards of two hundred and fifty miles into a wilderness, they halted in a magnificent forest of pine on the bank of the Nottawa,saga river. Here they erect- ed a temporary covering of huts; and with timber cut down and prepared on the spot, the men aided in the construction of twenty- nine large boats; four of which, were made to carry each a carronade. Having previ- ously loaded the flotilla with stores anti pro- visions, they embarked on the 22nd of April to descend the Nottawasaga river—the ice in the upper part of which being still firm, a channel had to be opened through it, to the extent of about 30 miles,—and on the night of the 24th they excamped on a most dismal spot upon the north-eastern shore of Lake Huron; and on the following morning (the 25th) commenced their perilous passage across that lake, covered as it was as far as the eye could reach byfleids of floating ice. Day after day and night after night the men toiled incessantly in opening a passage through the ice, and, notwithstanding the danger to which they themselves were ex- posed by the constant, and at times, terrific storme, accompanied by violent gales, which so agitated the immense body of float- ing ice that surrounded them everywhere— and which threatened ever moment to ertieh the boats to pieces—they nevertheless SUO. ceeded in ,working their way through it, with the loss of only One boat. For nineteen days it was nearly one coil:Untied struggle with the elements, during which time the dangere, hardships and privations to which the MOLL were exposed, were sufficient to discourage the boldest aniongst them, end at thuds threatened the total destruction of the The stoimy and unfavorable weather, which had almost unceasingly continued from the Moment they commenced their perilous voyage across Lake Huron, hexing &hilted on the 15th di May, the boats were pushed on With all possible speed, it being apprehended that theAmericans might, from their' More southern climate, arrive at Miehilinutokinac before therm It May there- fore be imagined what the feelings of the soldiers were when on arriving within sight of It ohilimackinae on the morning of the 18th May, they beheld the flag, oi their beloved country still proudly tlying over the fert which was built on the lofty heights of that lone and highly prised Island, tot' tlas preservation of which they had Undergone 80 WIWI sufrering and hardship, To that men tired and worn out by the excessive toil and privations whieh they had endured working for their lives in the floatiug ie, through which they had °fleeted a pessage, a distance of nearly three hundred mites, the sight of Michiliniackinao on this occasion was hailed with every expression of delight and thankfulness. Within itS shelter- ing walls they expected to soon find a res, ing place to repose their weary limbs. * But to return to the little garrison at Michilimackinac. An anxionsanatryingtime was passed by the soldiers during the winter of 1813-14. Everything had been done during that period to make their position 08 strong as possible. Two months had slowly passed since word had reached them that relief would be sent. But as yet there was no eign of it. Matters were in this state on the approach of spring. The ice in the lake had already commenced to break up, and float away, To make matters worse, infor- mation had just reached them that the Amer- icans would leave early tn April, so that they might now arrive at any moment. What an angtous and trying time was now passed. Day after clay the soldiers were kept con- stantly on the lookout for the expeced re- lief, but evening after evening closed again with the same disheartening intelligence. No sign of it." All hope was now aban- doned and fully prepared for the worst, that gallant little band determined to defend the fort to the last, and rather than let it fall again into the hands of the Arnericans,—on some of the runs of which were inscribed, "Token at Saratoga," and on others, "taken from Lord Cornwall is," etc.,—they intend- ed to spike the guns, and blow up the fort, and endeavour to make their escape to St. Joseph. This was the exact position of affairs at Michilimackinac, when, on Rhe evening of the 17th of May, the lookout party reported that the long expected relief was in sight. The news spread like wild fire throughout the fort, and very soon everyone turned out to gaze at the approaching boats; which could hardly be seen, and looked like so many dark objects in the distance far out on the Lake. Anxiously indeed was their advance watched by those in the fort until in the darkness of the night they were lost sight of. The 18th of May, 1814, was a red letter day in the history of Michilimackinac. At an early hour every one was up and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the reinforcement. .A guard of honor, small though it was, marched down to the shore. From the fort the near approach of the boats was watched with indescribable interest, and when Lieut. - Colonel McDouall landed on the Island, the cannon on the heights pealed forth a salute in honor of his safe arrival, and the gallant men who accompanied him, the echo of each gun breaking in upon the awful stillness of the surrounding neighbourhood with startling effect. MONTREAL, Que. Workers of Two Hemispheres. The cost of living is greater in America than in any State in Europe. It is ten to twenty per cent higher than in England; it is twice as high as in France ; it is three times as expensive as in Italy. Is this dif- ference in the cost of living commensurate with the difference in wages? Possibly in England. On the Continent, I should say decidedly, the low cost of living does not fully compensate for the low wages receiv- ed. The European workingman manages to exist by reducing the standard of living and buying only such articles as are abso- lutely necessary. There are men in Italy who earn but seven cents for a day's work of fourteen hours—one-half a cent an hour. ery few skilled mechanics earn as much as a dollar, a day; the average does not exceed fifty cents. • The Italian mechanic manages to get through on this sum, partly because of the cheapness of living, but principally be- cause of his wonderful economy and happy disposition that enables him to be satisfied and contented with conditions at which even an American beggar would rebel. In the large American cities, as New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, &c., wages appear to be slightly higher than in the small towns, though not sufficiently so to compensate for the greatly increased cost of living. In New York it is simply impossible for the average workingman to live in any- thing like comfort. Rents are high, provi- sions are high, everything is high. Few workmen get off with less than $10 a month rent, and it may safely be said that any habitation in New York city would be at that figure of the most miserable and squalid condition. The Artillery of the Future." M. Ernest Jaegle, Professor at the Military School of St. Cyr, has just translated a work entitled "The Artillery of the Future," writ- ten by an artillery officer of high rank in the German army. The book contains many use- ful and practical hints for artillerists and will be widely studied. At a moment when some of the horse artillery batteries in the British army have been for some unaccountable rea- son suppressed, the author's remarks on the value of that arm are particularly interest- iug. He speaks with all the authority of a specialist and a veteran. After pointing out that the horse artillery in contradistinction to the field artillery batteries, which have merely to keep pace with the infantry, were created for the specialpurpose of accompany- ing the cavalry in distant expeditions in the vanguard of the army, he goes on to say: "When we reflect on the use which is now made of cavalry divisions, the need of horse artillery is more pressing and imperious than ever, and at the present time is absolutely indispensable" He rightly remarks that it is impossible to replace horse artillery by mounted ,batteries especially as the guns em- ployed in the latter are of greater and heav- ier calibre, and cannotbe got overthe ground at anything approaching to the requisite speed.. Thus it is of the utmost importance every cavalry division should have its proper I complement of horse artillery. The author might have added that of all branches of the service the horse artillery requires the most careful and assiduous training in its double capacity as eavalry and artillery. It is the °imam that cannot be extemporized on ehort notice. Nothing Mean About Him Lawyer: I shall have to chatge you, fifty dollars for my serviees in the case.
