"If it could possibly be avoided," saki
Mabel, keeping her eyes fixed on the carpet,
"I would rather not be aburden to anybody.
When I wrote to Lady Moorcoml-e, I spoke
of what I could do for myself —I mean to-
wards getting my own living ; and she
thinks, with what I know of music and
French—though I know very, very little—
I could perhaps get some situation as a
nursery governess.
"I saw you had two letters by this
morning's post, but they did not seem to
contain goocl news, so I did not ask about
them. Was one of them from the Grange?
"Yes. Lady Moorcombe writes very
kindly. But—it's very foolish of me to be
vexed at it—but it used to be always ' My
dear Mabel ;' and now you see she begins,
'My dear Miss Denham."'
" She can afford it, Any darling," said
Martha Barr slowly. " May I see the let-
ter ?—Humph ! ' Exceeding distressed at
your sad tidings—greatest respect for your
late father—Sir Henry is out with his gun,
or would have written also—will keep her
eyes open, and remember you in case any
situation such as she describes, etc.'—Very
nic •• •`d thoughtful, I am sure, my dear."
d in the meantime, you see, Martha,
sti ,,, kindly asks me to the Grange."
"So I perceive, my dear—for ten days—
after which the Lascelles are coming, and
she is afraid the house will be full.'—She is
your god Mother, is she not ?"
"Yes, Martha."
That shows the advantage of selecting
your god -mother from among people of fash-
ion ; they always know how to express them-
selves genteelly when you are 1n trouble.
Whom was the other letter from?"
" Mrs. Marshall."
"That pleasant old lady you met with at
Shingleton, and who told you at parting
in that she felt like a mother to you ?"
Mabel nodded.
" I should like of all things," said Martha
Barr, "to hear what that gushing old lady
has to say about you now. But perhaps you
have some objecion ? Mabel had not push-
ed the letters across the table, as she had
done in the other case.
"You will find some nonsense in it ; it is
Mrs. Marshall's way. She means nothing
by it. You can read it if you like."
" Thank you. -How well she writes for

Pretty Trish Girls,
In the remoter districts, away from the
villages,. among the peaty bogs and the

The colleen lawn is straight, she is not

her waist large but supple, and she looks
as strong as a young man. Her hair is
brown, perhaps with a shade of chestnut ;
sometimes it leas a ripple in it, but oftener
itis lustreless and straight, and, very pos.

who may be staying at the castle take the
matutinal meal with her, but ofttimes she
breakfasts 'lone, and her family ]nave a mov-

suite have a special dining room set apart
for them, ami there they can take their
meals together, esoopt on 1)artieular occa-
sions when they aro invited to her majesty's
table. These invitations, however, are never
issued for breakf alt, for the queen prefers to
be alone, in order that she may reflaet over
the programme of the day. Shortly after 10
the queen begins to devote herself to affairs
of the nation, runs through the dispatches
which are sant to her dally by the ministers,
and, with the help of $ir Henry Ponsonby,
jots down replies, Sir Heury acting as sec-
retary. The work is usually over by 1, about
which time the queen's raesseuger starts for
London with the queen's dispatches to the
ministers. sit 1 o'clock the queen lunches.
Afterward she goes for adrive or one of her
vigorous walks, which are so trying to the
less energetic of her ladies-in-waiting. The
dinner hour is not till 9. After dinner the
usual practice is that the queen makes a few
observations to her guests, and at about 11
retires to her private apartments. Of late,
however, there have been changes in the
evening programmes in the direction of
greater gayety.

The Land of the Beautiful Dead.
By the hut of the peasant where poverty weeps
And nigh to the towers of the king,
Close, close to the cradle where infancy sleeps
And joy lovas to linger and sing,
Lies a garden of light full of ideaven's per-

Where hover a tear drop is shed,
And the rose and the lily aro ever nn bloom—
"11-3 the land of the beautiful dead.
Bach moment of life a messenger comes
And beckons man over the way;
Through the heart sobs of women and rolling
of drums,
The army of mortals obey,
Few lips that have kissed not a motionless
brow,
A face from oaeh fireside has fled,
But we know that ou'loved ones are watching
us now
• In the land of the beautiful dead.
Not a charm that wo know oro the bound'ry
'vas crossed,
And we stood in the valley alone;
Not a trait that we prized in our darling is lost,
They have fairer and lovelier grown;
As the lilies burst forth when the shadows of
night
Into bondage at daybreak are led,
So they bask in the glow by the pillar of ligh t
In the land of the b.autiful dead,
0, our loved, sow dead, our beautiful dead,
Are close to the heart of eternity wed;
When the last deed is donoand the last word is
said
Wo will meet in the beautiful land of the
- dead.
SomeRugs ge Stones,
Tonovro Aug. 27.—There came into To-
ronto harbour on Saturday some immense
boulders to be used in the construction of
the Parliament buildings. The propeller
Shickluna and the schooner St Louis brought
some two or three hundred pieces of out
stone froth the quarries . at Portage Entry,
on Lake Superior. The 611 tons carried by
the St Louis consisted of bub 131 pieces,
averaging over four' and one•half tons each.
Some of them weigh about seven tons each.
In coming thrugh the Welland canal with
this hard cargo the collector of tolls assessed'
the captain of the Sb. 'Loris at the rate of 12
cubic feet to the ton, when the Government
allows 13 cubic feet to the ton. As this•
makes considerable difference in the tolls
it is not likely that the matter will rest as at
present. The two vessels are being unload-
ed at the foot of Church street, on Sylves-
ter Bros.' wharf.

VIOTORY FOR THE MEN.
The Miners' Strike at Spring 0111, N, 8,
Cones to an Emil.
TATIOAX, Aug. 27.—The strike at the
Spring Hill coal )nines has ended in a com-
plete victory for the men, the management,
conceding all the demands originally made.
The strike lasted two months and has been.
exceedingly disastrous to both sides. Of the
1,000 who had been previously engaged, a
large number hacl removed to other mines,
but those who remained resumed work this
morning. The loss to the men and the com-
pany is not far from $150,000.
It is stated that the Jogggins mines have
been sold to an English Syndicate, who pro-
pose to extend and improve the mines and
build a branch railway, rip the river Hebert.
Mary Ann Chard, a chubby -looking mar-
ried woman, of Andover Road, Holloway,
was charged at the North London Court,
with being disorderly aiaa, causing a crowd
to assemble at Holloway. Constable Hardy
deposed to seeing the prisoner, in man's
clothes, followed by a crowd of boys, :and,
for her own protection, he took her to the
police station. She told the magistrate that
she took her husband his dinner on Tuesday,
and finding he was not at work,; she took
some drink, and theneighbours advised her
to dress up in a suit of her husband's clothes
and go and look for him. This she did, and
she was hardly out of the house when she
was detected. The magistrate told the pris.
ower she had been very silly, and brought
all the, trouble upon herself. She ,was now
discharged with a caution. Mrs. Chard faint.
