THE LUCKY MAN.
"Aunt, what is your true opinion of Bes-
sie Fallington?"
Old Mrs. Graham smiled over her gold
spectacles at her nephew Cecil, and, With
just a touch of humor, asked:
Why?"
"Well, you know I've been paying her
some attention—"
"And before committing yourself you
wish to get the opinions of your friends."
cc You state it bluntly, &mit, but I sup-
pose that is about the truth."
"Then, Cecil, I cannot give you nay
,opinion."
Cecil withdrew. As may be inferred he
was an indecisive fellow, and, of course,
was not satisfied, Praise of Bessie from
Aunt Mildred would have decided him. But
he was left exactly as before, except that he
•could draw two opposing inferences. First,
that if his aunt had not favored his suit she
would have advised against it; seoond, that
her refusal to give an opion meant that she
-opposed it etelitt.
Such men as he adopt tests, but he had
not ingenuity to invent one. The secret of
such doubt is usually high self-esteem,
which conjures an ideal worthy of affection.
Oddly enough the luminous point in Cecil's
ideal was fidelity. Bessie's social position
was level with his, but would she be true?
Wasn't she a coquette?
Tom Plotton was a dowe-city commission
merchant; one of those men who forge
ahead on the voyage of life, and by the twin
propellers, energy and det lamination, reach
a port of commercial moo. se. Cecil and he
had been college mates, bustheir date ac-
quaintance had only been remittal, confined
to chance meetings at social gatherings. An
outspoken man, but withal a thorough gal-
lant, acquainted with all the marriageable
ladies worth knowing, he was just the
man to render the opinion Cecil craved.
He was found in his glass -inclosed office,
millerishly white from flour he had been
examining before buying.
"Tom," began Cecil, after greetings, "1
came to get your candid opinion of Bessie
Fallington."
Plotton looked " fool " at him, but re-
plied.
"Well, it depends on what the opinion is
based. As a commission merchant, say,
she'd be a prime failure; as a sea captain,
ditto ; and as "--
" As a wife, for instance."
"That depends on the man •who gets
her."
" Well, for rue, say ?"
"Oho !" exclaimed Plotton, running his
finger through some coffee grains in a tin
box, " you re in love with her, are you ?"
" Frankly, yes."
"And before you put yourself in danger
of making a matrimonial blunder you're
around getting opinions."
"Well—bluntly, yes. The same as you
Look into Bradstreet's before selling to a
stranger."
"The stranger's credit is doubtful when
I do."
" 1Vell ?"
"You doubt Bessie Fallington?"
"Good gracious, no 1"
"Then what do you want an opinion of
her for? If you don't doubt her you're sure
of her. That's as plain as A, B, C. If you
love her and are sure of her worth an opin-
ion isn't worth a coffee grain, or shouldn't
be. If you love her you'll pitch in and
move heaven and earth to get her."
" But I ask your opinion, nevertheless."
4' Whether ib cuts or not ?"
"Give her up."
"First, if you doubt her, she won't suit
you."
"1 don't grant that."
"Second, she's a pronounced coquette ;
wants wealth in a husband; is wilful; de-
• mands continued petting; admires men of
•distinction, men who can out a dash, and
especially men of decision, but will quarrel
with him if her way is crossed; doesn't
know a saucepan from a griddle, etc., etc. ;
full of faults—but pretty as a spring morn-
ing.),
Graham rose pettishly.
"You. don't believe my opinion, I see.
Very good ; it's one sign you love the girl.
Of course you're invited to her progressive
euehre party next week. • Go and criticise
her—if you can insight of her beauty. Then
we'll meet and coMpare notes."
• "Agreed. Good morning."
The next Tuesday evening found Cecil in
Bessie's fashienable home. He had ex-
actly poised his rand, but the first sight of
her unbalanced it in her favor. She was
rarely beautiful, and her welcome rang with
genuine hospitality. It seemed impossible
to criticise her ; a good, true heart must be
the centre of such physical loveliness, but
Bout,* whispered: Wait and watch."
Of guests, there were seven ladies and
ight gentlemen. Bessie had, therefore, to
,choose her first partner, and Cecil watched
.eagerly to see which this would be. It was
Alfred Donaldson Hughes, who had lately
,Wort literary fame. Bessie smiled brilliantly
upon him as they took teats at the ace
table.
" She's flirting with that fellow," mut-
tered Ow% as the bell rang for play.
Whet Ib ritng again for changing tables
he was obliged to remain at the jacktable,
beeause, in watching, he had blundered
stupidly. Bessie and the author won the
:game, and thOugh they were not partners
in the next the merriment between them
continued, and he saw her dart a perfect
'coquette's smile at him as at the next he
wept down to the kings.
Tom Plotton was het next partner, but
her sparkle was gone She scarcely spoke.
Ilumph," Muttered Cecil, "quite a
-descent from literature to flour. Plotton
.and I will ourely agree, for he is uncle:AAA-
eclly getting the Old shoulder."
Yet, despite himself, doubts would break
Ante the adverse decision. "POrhape she is
Ihrtie, after alt; her spirite May be her way
of entertainment. I may be making a fear-
ful mieteke."
• Finally good luck advanced him and he
became her partner for a game. She was
all life again; exactly ea she lied been to
the author. He believed he detected her
wish to draw him on to loving her, and
though flattered, the old doubt grew
stronger. The dutiee of hostess did not
necessitate such action ; she had tried to
draw the author on ; she was trying him
now. The only result would be that she
would reject them both in ridicule.
Music aud promenading through the
spaciouri house followed cerds. Cecil
hastened to engage Bessie as a coinpanion,
the author forestalled him. He walked
angrily into the conservatory and donned
beiore a paint, ostensibly examining it, but
in reality analyzing his state of mind. Was
he jealous ? If so, he really loved Bessie,
but could he ask her to be his when all he
had seen confirmed her coquetry?
Bessie and Hughes came near and stopped
before a large plant, but with their backs
toward Cecil, who WAS well screened from
them.
"Miss Fallington," said the anther, in
the unmistakable voice of devotion, "do
you like literature ?"
"1 love it," she replier. "Lot me tell
you a little secret that you must never
reveal. I have lately had gate a num-
ber of poems published—anonymously, of
course."
"Adorable," he cried, enthusiastically.
"You must show them to me."
"By no tneans, You would criticise the
poor little attempte."
"Not for worlds. They. could not help
being full of fire and gemus. But would
you not like to devote your life, yourself, to
literature ?"
Oh ! Mr, Hughes, my humble talents
wouldn't last a fortnight."
"1 don't mean in that way; though your
talent would. I mean would you riot like
to live always in a literary atmosphere—in
fact, Miss Fallington, as the wife of an
author ?"
"Pardon me, Mr. Hughes," she ex-
claimed, "but I do believe this rare plant is
dying. I must tell father at once."
Don't turn me aside," pleaded the
author, trying to catch her hand. "1 love
you to—"
Hush , hush, 'Mr. Hughes, she whis-
pered. "Here comes some one."
The some one was Tom Plotten, and he
was coming 'directly for them.
"Mr. Hughes " he said, "they are ask-
ing for you in the parlor. They re dis-
cussing the authorship of a late anonymous
poem. They want you to help them out."
"Very well," replied Hughes, gallantly,
"and I think I can make a good decision on
the latest and direaest information."
"Don't you dare," exclaimed Bessie, with
a light laugh, the meaning of which came in
words as soon as the author was out of
hearing.
"Oh ! I'm so glad you came'for, don't
you think, he was just declaring hie love for
Both broke into a hearty laugh. Cowie -
tion struck Cecil. If this wasn't an evi-
dence of heartless coquetry, what could be?
He sincerely thanked his good fortune that
his doubts had kept him from declaring his
own love several months before in a similar
place.
"And I have no doubt," he heard Plotton
say, "that if I were now to say that I love
you, you'd thank someone for interrupting,
and laugh as heartily over my silliness,
wouldn't you?"
"Perhaps I should."
"Though you have given me some en-
couragement, Bessie."
"Rave I? Come, I want to tell father
this plant is dying." k,
They moved away, and Cecil returned to
the parlor, thrilling With pleaeure at his
narrow escape. He rejoiced greatly that
Bessie Fallington had never had a chance to
laugh at him. He shortly withdrew elated,
but in the night, doubt of his decision
troubled him. The heart and head would
not agree. The stronger became the latter*,
the fuller was the former of regret that he
could not have Bessie Fallington.
Next morning he hastened to Platen's
establishment and found that gentleman in
his glase office looking quite happy.
"Happy commission stroke ?" asked
• Cecil.
"Yes, an unusual one. Well, I suppose
• you have come to compere notes about
Bessie Fallington."
cc
"Well, what's your decision ?"
" That she is a heartless flirt, aaid I think
I'll give up all thoughts of her."
"You think so."
"Yes, only think, for I still can't de-
cide, and I came again to get your
opinion."
"Well, I'll la you have it. I don't
think she would make you a good wife. I
believe myself she is a flirt, and has lots
of faults. If were you I'd look else-
where."
"This is your earnest, sincere advice, is
t ?"
"It is. But there is another reason why
I'd give her up if I were you."
What is it 2"
"She is engaged."
"Engaged, ancl flirting around the way
she did with you and Hughes and myself.
It's awful. Who to! "
" Well, its something of a secret yet.
She engaged herself only last night."
"Last night? Not to Hughes ?"
Plea= laughed heartily and said,
" Guess again."
"I Can't. Give me the name."
"Thomas J. Plotton."
Cecil sank into a chair and stared. Tom
laughed boisterously, nine -tenths of it being
pure unalloyed joy.
"But you said," stammered Cecil, "that
she was a flirt, no housekeeper and full of
faults."
" I knovv I did, and say so still."
"And going to marry her?"
"Yes, by all means, and we'll be as happy
as any one can be on earth. I love Bessie
Fallington, and if she had ten times her
faults my love demands that I must have
her, and it will have her. As I told you
before, love will move heaven and earth to
get its object. I've won her, and let hen
faults be what they may, I love her and
must have her."--HowarcZ M. Hope in

DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
Mr, Armstrong, moving that it is exPe•
(Rent that power be given to the Legisla-
tiee Aesembly of the Northwest territoriere
after the neXt general election of membere
of the said Assembly, to deal with all
matters pertaining to education and the use
of dual languages in the courts and in the
proceedings of the said Assembly, providing,
however, that no oohed section, as at
present constituted, shall be interfered with
without the consent of the parties composing
such section, said he was not moving this
resolution dA the bid of any party or set of
men. He had not been asked by any mem-
ber to get up and move it. He thought
the settlement of the case could be reached
if the people went earnestly to work and
dealt with it.
Mr. Clarke Wallace said that the regolu-
tion did not bear out the speech of the
hon, member. He begged to inove as an
amendment that all the words after " that "
be erased and the following inserted : "In
the opinion of this House the Legislative
Assemblies of the Northwest Territories
should be empowered to deal with all
matters relating to education in the said
Territories."
Mr. McMullen said that at the present
day we were giving in too much to secu-
larism. If we had a little more religious
instruction in our Common schools it wonld
be better for our rising population, and it i
would undoubtedly be n tha interests of
our schools that they should be opened with
prayer, and rather than have no religious
exorcises in our eehools, by reason of the
objeotions by his Roman Catholic friends,
he would consent to Separate schools.
Mr. McCarthy moved in amendment:
"It is expedient that the limitation and
restriction upen the authority of the Assem-
bly of the Northwest Territories in the
matter of education and the , enaotment
respecting the use of the French language in
the courts and compulsory publication of
its ordinances in that language, should be
repealed."
Mr. Mills said he held on this subject the
same views he had expressed two years ago
in the House. The last speaker had said
the dual language question was a national
question, whereas the establishment of
schools was a purely Provincial question.
AFTER RECESS. ,
Mr. Charlton said on a previous occasion
he ha.d moved the House in committee on a
bill to secure better observance of the Lord's
day. It was assassinated in committee,
but through the indulgence of the House he
was allowed to again make the motion. He
therefore moved that the House go into
committee on the said bill.
Cries of " Lost " and "Carried."
Mr. Dupont—Call in the members.
Mr. Speaker—Will five members rise ?
Messrs. Dupont, Denison, Coatsworth,
Chapleau, Desjardines and Christie rose,
and the members were cAlled in.
The motion was put and carried on the
following division: Ayes, 77 ; nays, 50.
Sir John Thompson, replying to Mr.
McMillan (Huron), said the report of the
English farmer delegates to the Maritime
Provinces had been received and would be
submitted to the house.
Sir John Thompson moved the second
reading of the Bill to readjust the represen-
tation in the House ot Commons.
A division on Mr. Laurier's amendment
resulted as follows: Ayes 58, nays 109 ;
majority 51.
Mr. Desaulniers, St. Maurice, (Conserva-
tive) voted for the amendment.
Mr. Speaker said the vote was on the
main motion.
Mr. lelcCerthy moved the adjournment of
the debate. •
• Sir John Thompson said the House
would toenorrow (Friday) take up. the
Voters' list, the Indian Lands Act, and the
Criminal law.
Mr. Tisdale introduced a bill respecting
the Midland railway of Canada.
A bill to relieve Hattie Adele Anderson,
and a bill to relieve Jas. Wright, passed
their first reading on division.
Mr. Patterson, Secretary of State, moved
the second reading of the bill respecting the
Voters' Lists of 1891.
The Bill was read a second time.
A Bill to amend the Dominion Lands Act
was read a second time, and the House went
into committee upon it.
Clause 3 provides that a settler shall be
entitled to a patent for his Rre-emption
entry (on payment of the price fixed) at the
same time that he is partied to the patent
on homestead entry, but the pre-emption
right, if not exercised and the price paid
within six months after the right of pur-
chase is acquired, shall be forfeited.
Mr. Mills thought this a harsh provision
and suggested that the time should be
extended for five years, interest being
charged.
Mr. Dowdney said that the forfeiture had
never been insisted upon and that practi-
cally time had been given. He agreed that,
the kw should be changed in accordance
with the practice.
After a long discussion the clause was
allowed to stand.
The House went into committee on the
bill respecting the criminal code. The'
clauses dealing with bodily injuries and Acts
and omissions causing danger to persons and
assaults were passed.
AFTER RECESS.
Clause 285 says that defamatory libel is
matter published likely to injure the repu-
tation of any person by exposing him to
hatred or contempt or ridicule, and such
matter may be expressed either directly or
by insinuation or irony.
The House adjourned at 11.15 p. m.
How to Grow Thin.
A celebrated English physician has dis-
covered a way to make stout people thin,
and this is done by not drinking liquids,
with the exception of one snaall cup of
coffee a day. If his patient is very °lamer-
ous he allows her, besides, a cup of water as
boiling hot as she can drink it. The English
medico declares that there can be no elegant
waists where so much liquid is swallowed,
and that people should drink by teaspoonfels
instead of gallons.
Scotch Coopers:la Sweden.
A number of Scotch coopers have, during
the pasb winter, been employed at the
Bohnslan herring -salting establishment at
the expense of the Slate and one or two
local societies. Uunder the supervision of
these coopers some 35,000 barrels of herrings
were salted during the season, As herrings
treated in the Scotch style fetch a better
price, this new departure is expected to
materially benefit the district in question.
Thirty Germans and twenty-five Aus-

and officials of the various railways, and
when it is of a simple nature, such as the
one described, the inventors can confidently

ested. Messrs. Piper es Son, of Toronto,
are the inventors of these signals, which

all of whom expressed themselves pleased
with the invention. The interlocking sig-
nals at Toronto Junction, which have
recently been put in by the same firm, are

on the prinoipal railways in the Dominion.
These were also inspected by Messrs.

of whom were delighted with the simplicity

• A BIG DEAL.
$260,000 Paid for a lialf interest in the
• Trade Mark of Dr. Williams' Pink rims
• for the United States.
The brilliant reputation achieved by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in Canada has not only
extended to the United States, but has led
to an important business transaction. One
of the best known American proprietary
medicine houses'the head of which is the
President of a leading National Bank in
New York State, has purchased a half
interest in the trade mark of
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company
for the United States only, for
which, we understand, the consideration
was $250,000. This sale is probably the
first instance in which an American insti-
tution purchased an interest in a Canadian
remedy, and offers the very best proof of
the sterling merits of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, as we may be sure that the American
capitalists, before venturing so large a sum
in the half -interest of the trade mark, fully
investigated and verified the claims made
for the remedy. It is a tribute, too, to
Canadian medical science, which has
brought to perfection this remarkable
medicine.

way, when the Canadian volunteers covered
themselves with glory—and with dust. It
is needless to describe the terrible excite
ment the news of therenioaa invasion caused
isa this city, and of the hurried mustering of
the militia. In speaking of the affair a
writer ha yesterday's St. Catharines Journal
says : Regarding the force under Gen.
O'Neill, the writer met that celebrated
individual in the following August at the
great horse rage at Celd Springs, near )3uf-
fate, and, after some friendly parries, was
told by him that he felt morally cartain he
had over 1,000 good men at Ridgeway.
O'Neill and iao doubt many of his
followers are now gone to there long
Account, but he further told us that isa his
opinion it was the greatest mercy in the
world that the Canadians that day were kd
by a baby, "otherwise," said he,I shiver
to think of it, because had your boy licked
us that morning, I firmly believe you would
have either hanged or shot every one of us,
and now in thinking it over, I believe you
would have served our pack of d ----d fools
right. It is unnecessary to refer to the
afterclaps and how that little war did
actually make a fair lot of soldiers of our
volunteers. Most of the boys are now either
dead or scattered far and wide, but we
venture to say none of the living will ever
forget June 2nd, 1866.'
Ir as acknowledged by all that a great
deal of valuable dine is lost by accitienecti
delays. The farmer cannot work to -day
because the mare has a sore shoulder or he
cannot finish that teaming because the
horse has a bad back, or he cannot sell
that fine colt just now because she has cut
herself on the barb wire fence.
These little troubles and drawbacks can
all be readily overcome by the application
of a good remedy and many hours of time
saved and many weary anximur nights
avoided.
We are very glad to know that Mr. C. F.
Segsworth, of Toronto, has undertaken to
introduce to the farmers and stockmen of
of Canada that King of Healers, "Texas
Balsam." It is without doubt the most
reliable and surest healer ever offered for
sale, having been used for years by men of
large experience who have found it invalu-
able for Corks, Galls, Sore Shoulders,
and all outs and wounds of all kinds on
Horses and. Cattle.
If you have not supplied yourself with
"Texas Balsam" we advise you to do so at
once and be ready in case of accident. If

An old man and his wife were last summer
sailing on a stea.mer between Blackpool and
the Isle of Man. As the sea was rather
rough and the old e (alien was unaccustomed
to sailing, she said to her husband : "Oh,
John, this ship is going down." "Well,
never mind," said her husband, "it isn't

grains of sulphur -iron. The composition of
the nickel -iron (soluble in Hg012) was :
Iron, 83 67; nickel, 16.24; cobalt, 0.17 ;
copper, 0.34.

He stood six foot two
Without his shoe,
And was slew
At Waterloo.
