The sky was hidden by gray closed messes, arid theee hung so low that ram seemed to be ...inevit- able. Ruth was atenstomed to disregard weather, She had gone daily to her grand- father's eottage, throughh many a storm of haI and ramn. and. snow ; and she started this morning without hesitation, though she took AU umbrella by way of proteetion. Her father's eonfeesion had troubled her, not on account of the loss of her little for • time, but because ahe was so perfeetly exact in her own dealings that she could not realize that her father should have done this wrong, "He meant to replace it," ohe argued. Bot she could not at once reconcile herself to the feet, and that night she had. slept very little. Her father had finished break- fast before she appeared. Re gave her a hasty kiss and went out. Ruth felt restless; she could, not settle to anything. It seemed to her that the mere sending away of one servant would not be a very large economy, Ana yet) she shrank from turning herself into a servant—vier°, perhaps than she would have done before she loved Mr. Bev- ington. He had kissed her hands, and had told her they were "white and lovely." She did not want to spoil them, but she must do something to help her father. She thought she might try to teach. She had. been so well taught that she could, per- haps, teach others. This last idea came while she sat at breakfastand it helped her to be definite. She rose fromtable bent on a visit to Sally Voce. In youth Mrs. Voce had been nurse en a good family, and she was supposed to be learned about the manners and customs of her superiors. She had given Ruth many a lecture on the subject of climbing gates and fences in earlier days, but the child had loved her in spite of what Philip Bryant celled " Sally's frumpishness." Ruth often paid the old woman a visit, though she lived at some distance from Appledore. Their relations had not, however, been so cordial since Mrs. Voce took upon herself that lecture respecting Mr. Bevington. Ruth remembered it as she walked along the high -road that led to Little Marsh- field. On either side the hedges were powdered with green, and among the trees behind the hedge on the right the larches were covered with exquisite pink -tipped tassels of greenery. Bees are curious little animals, Beforct storing honey in a tree, for instance, they will clean the tree of all rotten wood and refuse. When this is done they are ready for work, but a bee neve e begins bueiness until he IS thoroughly reedy tocarry it on, and then he never does it by halves. The estimated number of Sheep in the United ''itater ot the present time ie forty- five her email blue °yea at her companion,while her pink, plump theeka quivered with curiosity. At first sight Mrs. Pope looked unintell- igeeet—is sinoeth-faoecl, easy-goiag woman— but a closer reading showed a parshnonions and persevering mouth and e determined chin, that matched better with Sally's sharp torque than her placid, confortable general aepeot did. She was, like many other women, full of contradictions. She grud- ged the payment of an extra sixpence to any one she employed, and, to a begging tramp of vehorn, she knew nothing she would be generous in the way of food and clothing. fier husband had died years ago, so lied her only child, He had left a young s,vife, with an infant and very little to live on; and when anyone taxed Mrs. Voce withatingenesss he exeneed it by say- ing that she was "saving for little George." I wont to know the best way," Ruth answered., "You'll excuse me,Miss Ruth, but what can any one like you want to know fotif I e ay ask?" Ruth had hoped to escape this question. Now it was pub, she looked herd at the old woman. " We are not so well off as we used to be, 3sliy; and if I were to leave home and earn my own living I fancy one maid would be enough at Appledore." Mrs. Voce sat with blinking eyes and parted lips a minute or two without an- swering ; then. she said slowly: "I'm sorry to hem such news, -Miss Ruth; bat I'm not a mossel surprised. Who could be surprised as knew the goings on there's been since poor Miss Kitty and your grandpa was took to a better place?" Ruth held up her head, and her eyes brightened with anger. "What do you mean, -Sally ? What has been going on? " She thought the old woman had found out her engagement to Mr. Bevington, and she was determined to silence her. ' Sally gave her a glance of compassion. "You poor lamb there is no one left to tell you but me, and I must take the chance of making you angry. You think maybe that it's failure of crops, and losses ot stock, and what -not that have brought this trou- ble; it eln'e neither crops nor etock, Miss Ruth ; 'tis something worse ; 'tie bet- ting and neglect of business—that's what 'tin. J3ub Lor' how should you know? But there's those as knows your father ITwo small figures, with quickly -dropped courtesies, barred Ruth's way ELS she passed the bent, They Wore strew bate end Week stockings ; OMO had a pink frock with a grayee,sh, and the other a brown froth arid a, Yellow Rash; both had their mottled arms full of breed. Ruth nodded, and then she wondered whether the father of these bud money to pay for the bread they were carrying home, or whether like herself, they would go on eating and drinking in ignortmee till the day of reckoning ewe, and they found that every crust they ate was at the expense of strangers. She had by this time come out again into the high -road beyond the village, and she hurried homeward, full of anxious thought. It certaitily ecemed cowerily to leave her hither when he was in troub' le but if she stayed what could she do to help him? If she went may the could earn her own living, and perhaps more than she needed for herself; and the thought it would be very sweet to be able to help her father ever so little. A sudden thought of her lover disturbed her. He would not like her to work for money, she was sure he would not ; and then though Ruth was not a day -dreamer, she had a sudden vision of walking out in I.,ondon, if she went there, and meeting him. A. rush of sweetness chased all the trouble frost her mind. She walked on, picturing this meeting with her lover. A horse's trend on the road as its rider came up a side turning, the horse reined up at her side, while the rider's " Good - day, Miss Bryant," made her look 'round and shake halide with Mr. Clifford as he bent down to her from his saddle. She had once likedhim very much, and although for some time past he had become uninteresting to her, she had never telt a shadow of dislike to him. To -day, as she turned and faced him she shivered with The birds chirped in an uneasy excitement; well, and 'as seen him at all the races round. they evidently expected storm. The hedge You've only got to ask," she said in answer bank was gemmed with blue and white and to the girl's look of scornful unbelief yellow, with here and there a tuft of rosy ragged robin peeping out among the quieter flowers. At one point the road was quite fragrent, and Ruth stooped down to gather a bunch of violets for her old aurae. At last the dull, straight high -road ended. A few straggting cottages appeared on both sides of the way, and then came a couple of alehouses nearly facing one another, the "Pig and Whistle" on one creaking sign- board and "Saint George and the Dragon" on the other—advance guards to the en- trance of the village. , Ruth turned into a gap between the cot- tages on the right, and soon reached a nare row path beside a dashing little stream. The brook- came hurryingfrom a mill farther oreand divided about a score of picturesque cottages, each isolated in its • own garden and shaded in summer -time by fruit trees, which already gave a fair promiseof blossom. Some of these cottages faced the little stream, others were set at right angles to it ; an for the benefit of the inhabitants on the left side of the brook, who could not otherwise have reached the village, a small footbridge was placed across the shining pebble -bottomed. water. Ruth crossed this bridge euse after she had passed the little chapel. Mr. Bryant sometimes said that this chapel was Mrs. VOOA'S chief a.ttracnion in the village'and that the minister of the said chapelhad comfortable time in winter by Sally's fire- side. An opening in the hedge, already leafy in this sheltered spot, showed Sally herself sitting out in front of her cottage, knitting as diligently as a German haus- frau. She looked rosy and healthy. Her clear, muslin cap was tied. under her double chin by green cap strings; her lilac cotten gown and apron were •of one pattern, though plainly the &peon was the younger —it was so much faller of color than the gown was. As she sat leaning back in her high-backed rush -bottomed chair, her neat- ly -shod feet showed blue woollen stockings •of her own knitting—good-sized, sensible - looking feet and ankles, suited to her tall, stout figure. Sallyrose upat the sound of footsteps, and peered curiously forward. "Eh, Miss Ruth?" She smiledatthe sight of her visitor; she was very buxom -look- ing. "I didn't think to see you this misty- moisty mornmg, as you used to oall it when you was little. How are you, miss, and. how's Mr. Bryant?" "How are you ?" Ruth said. "You look as well as possible, in spite of the mist I did not fancy you would sit outside such a morning, though." • "I must have the air, miss. If yoor poor grandfather would have took advice from me and had taken the air, instead of Flitting in that stuffy library he thought go much of trom morning till night, it's my belief re'd still be here." She had pushed her chair toward Miss Bryant and then, seeing thatRuth did not accept it, she wanton, "Will you walk in- side, miss ?" It gas an ordinary one -storied cottage, with a neat parlour in from t and a, kitchen behind ; but Mrs. Voce had persuaded her landlord to add a shed at the back of the kitchen, which greatly increased her com- fort The walls of her parlor were papered, and an old bureau in one corner on which stood bits of old china, a few chain quaint enough to be coveted by a collector, gave a certain distinction to the room, Mrs, Voce clreev forward an easy -chair which had once belonged to Mr. Stokesay, and vehieh the farmer had given her ; but when Rath had seated herself she dicl not find it so easy to epeak as she had thouglap it would be. . tt was so difficult to announce her inten- tion without zeerning to blame her father. Mrs. Voce waited a few minutes, then hesaiclt "Have you seen Mr. Clifferd lately, Miss Ruth?" • Ruth raised her eyebrows in wouders Mr, Clifford was so very far frOm her thoughts. "o, 1 have not seen hint. I believe he has been el the berme" ' "lie's 0. good men, miss, and he would be a ,good friend to you if 5, ou would let him.' • " gover mind Mr, Clifford, Sally; Want to ask you something.. I want you to tell me if you know. how peopio get engage- nietttsi, I moan as governesses or emotion. ions." Ida. Voce looked sharply. at Ruth and slowly folded tier fat handem her lap. There's different ways, and acme takes " Hold your tongue I" Ruthesaid sternly. "Von have no right to talk in this way, or even to listen to teles against my father;" she paused and tried to quiet herself, she felt so vehemently angry. Presently she said, as if the talk had not taken this new departure, "I shall be glad if you can tell ma the best way to go to work to hear of any employment. I am shy of answering an advertisement, for I have so little opportunity of making inquiries about people." Mrs. Voce had reddened at the girl's -rebuke, and she still felt sore and sulky. She did not, however, wish to confess her ignorance; for she was aware that a good deal of her influence over others depended on her assumption of universal knowledge. "Tain't, to mythinking, a good plan at all for you to go far away from home and leave , your poor father to go to worse rack and ruin. No, sates, you might go away if you chose, and yet he quite near to him if you pleased—nearer to every one who cares for you. Yes, miss, there's one as loves the very ground you walks on, one as would be glad to care for you altogether if so be as you'd let him." A sudden rirsh of consciousness dyed the girl's face and throat and ears even a deeper hue than Sally's. It was plain to her that the old woman was alluding to Mr. Beving- ton. "I do not understand," she said gently. The change in her tone puzzled Mrs. Voce. She had not yet forgiven Ruth for what she considered her daring, but this seeming meekness mollified her. "Ab! you know who I mean," she said, blinking at the girl, who had turned a little away to avoid her companion's scrip tiny ; "you've guessed right. Who could I mean but Mr. Clifford ?" Ruth rose hastily from her their. "You are dreaming," she said; and she laughed. "Mr. Clifford and I are good friends, but We leaver wish to be anything more to one another." "Speak for yourself, miss," the old voice said, with extra sharpness "1 know better nor that. Why, Mr. Clifford's eared for you ever since you was a child of twelve or so, and he would hams said so, I tancy, if that London ltd hadn't come in the way." She gave a keen look at Ruth, but the girl appeared to be unmoved, "Bless you, child! I know e the signs. Some- times when I've been looking out of the window at your grandpa's I've seen you go out of the gate and meet Mr. Clifford. Maybe you'd give him allittle nod and you'd pass on; but not he. He'd turn his horse and he' si stay there fixed like a post, file staring after you all the last bit of your skirts was hid by the then of the road. Look here, Miss Ruth, Mt Clifford can help your papa much better than you can help him, and he knows the way, I bet! Do listen, miss"—the,girl had turned away and was moving to the door—"Mr. Clifforcl has a beautiful house in Purley, and I'm told by thein as has seen her—for the poor lady's a cripple—that his sister dresses in silkeand the best of everything. Then he's so good. It was all along of he that my landlord built the woodshed back o'blais. Heel it roguing good sort—that he is 1 And he's got a -plenty to be good with." Sally paused, completely out of breath ; for she could gabble when need hueried /lee words and she had sadly feared that Ruth Wouldlestve the cottage without, listening to her eulogy, But Ituth welted, because she had something more to say. "I hope, Sally, that you have not told any one else what you said just now about my father. If you did such a thing I would never speak to you again. Now, good -by, and fergot that you ever repeated such a falsehood." She went out of the cottage and hurried on, not by the way she lead come, for she knew several of the cobtagers and She was not in a mood to chat veibh 'then] teeday. She went farther up the brook -bordered lane, and then took a teeming that opened on the right, with an encient Well on one nide and a barn on the allot The aide of this barn exhibttecl an elaborate amount of patchwork, the one part consisting of hori- zontal planks interrupted by a series of half-timbered brick -work, while on to theevere patched shore planks, going eli ways.

" I was on my way to Appledore," he said in an •indifferent tone "shall I find your father in, do you think?" Ruth looked at him as she answered, and his calm, set face and the coldness of his steady gray eyes reassured her, It was evident that Sally Voce ha,d spoken as the wished, just because the old woman, had taken a dislike to Me. Bevington. " My father is eine to be in at dinner- time; won't you stay and dine? Then you are sure to see him. His plain, sensible face brightened, and his grave smile spread over it till he looked singularly menial. "Von are very kind," he said, " but I am pressed for time. If I do not find Mr. Bryant in I must try again, later in the day, as I shall be in the neighborhood. I have a special reason for wishing to see him." He looked grave as he ended, and Ruth felt that his visit was connected with her father's trouble. Formerly she had looked on Mr. Clifford as such a helpful friend, and now the old feeling of reliance came back. She wondered why she had consulted Sally Voce, when she could trust to such a much wiser counsellor. "Mr. Olifford," she said, "will you tell me something?" She thoaght he looked vexed as he an- ewered in a repressive voice "Yes, certainly, if I can do so." She hurried out her woods. wondering at her own impulsive confidence. "Will you tell me how 1 oan help my father ? You know about his troubles, I am sure. I—I think of leaving home as a governess or something of the sort. I feel I ought to earn my own living. Can you not help me to find a sitnation? ' She had fixed her eyes on him as she spoke. He looked suddenly angry. His red -brown face flushed, and he drew his heavy eyebrows together as he answered : "The very worst way you °meld have thought of to help. your father. It is, I know, a great conuort to birn to have you with him, whether he is in trouble or not. If I were you, Miss Bryant, 1 would give up the idea of such a thing. Now, if you will excuse me, I will ride on in the hope of finding Mr. Bryantin." • He made her a grave, formal bow, and trotted on to .Appledore. Ruth drew a deep breath as she looked after him. . •" How absurd 11 do not know vvhich was the greatest goose," she said, laughing ; "Sally for inventing her love -story, or 1 who believed it." (To Ale, CONTINUED.) Reminiscences of Delhi. Lord Roberts, in a recent lecture! at 'New- castle, gave a graph'a description of Delhi, and of its great siege in 1857, and paid an 'eloquent tribute to the gallantry .of our troops. , He said that our troops were suc- cessful in thirty different combats, always against long odds, often opposed to an enemy ten times their numbers, and who had all the advantages of ground and superior artillery. At last, when it became evident that our numbers were daily de- creasing, that no hope of further reinforce- ments could be entertained, and that if Delhi were to be taken at all it must be taken at once, batteries were thrown up in open ground, within grape range of the walls. The establishment'of Major Scott's battery within 180 yards of, the walls, to arm which heavy guns had to be brought from the rear under a constant fire of rug keens, was characterized by, the lecturer as an operation that has rarely been equalled in war. Finally, these warriors, worn out with disease, incessent work,and exposure, and greedy redaced in numberrestorrned in the face of day a strong fortress defended by 30,000 desperate men, who were provid- ed with everything necessary to defy assault. Oar effective force at Delhi, as Lod Roberta reminded his audience, never amounted. to 10,000 mem of whom 992 Were killed and 2845 we -tended, while hundreds died from disease and exposure.

A HAPPY HONE. A thee SucoesgrnazIattrortANosSut 1s t. 0: tAboir. t e e The Rev, Lennard Gomez, of Ilea Deer writes as follows to the eloutreel Gazette: eame to the Northwest in the euturnia of 1883. My object WAS to see whether a man in my position, with impaired health, Waited means, and a large family, could likely live and rear a family in a very re- apeetable wey, I was favorably impressed with the beauty and fertility of many places I examined, from Southern Menitolea, to the Sturgeon river, north of Edmonton, but Red Deer, for several reagens, suited me best then, and suits me still. This is, to a great extent, purely a matter of fancy. In so vast a country, with such varied and abuipdamt resent °es aud possibilities . it is quite impossible for any one locelity to monopolize all the good things; all those who make such a ream may well be sus- pected of sinister motives. I returned in April, 18E34, witha wife and ten ohildreo, a man and maid servant and nurse girl, and am living on the spot where I firsb drove down my tent pins. Ab that time there was no railway north of Calgary. Our household effects, farm impleinents and supplies hael to be carted in by half-breed freighters at le cants per pound; and our cattle were driven the 100 miles from Cal- gary in such daily stages es they could stand, grazing by the way, the young men with a team, thee and supplies camping wherever NIG= O'VicitTOOlt THEN. Than there were no people in the country with the exception of some half-dozen whites and a few half-breed. families. What is now known as the Red Deer district, reaching from south of Innisfail to north of Lacombe, was an. uninhabited desert There was not one Post office between Cal- gary and Edmonton, 200 miles; no school except on Iuclian missions'', and only a fitful existence there;no minister of the gospel or church for th200 miles from Calgary to Edmonton, and east and west, many hund- red miles. If there were really auy dark days in the experience of a veteran settler, these might have been coutited on assalay, of gloom and hardship, compared with which the present is an advanced stage 'Of civilization. But there was no olivine winning a martyr's crown. We were agree- ably disappointed.. Ihe hardahips were not nearly so many or great as we expected, • tbe comforts more. Away from the rush and whirl of city life, where head and heart were full of care, and every nerve at, the returnee tension, the beauty, the quiet, the charm of nature, cseemed like the very hush of God, and everywhere was "peace." 'We set to work to rear our shanty. We • mold indulge in very little lumber; lumber was a luxury; common sawed boards cost $30 per thousand, but mud was cheap, and with a plentiful supply inside and out we • managed to make a warm, if not handsome, habitation ; and hosing TIOTuRSS IN OVII.

We had faith in God, and a whole lot of faith in ourselves. We went to work with a well, getting up in the morning, contrary to the habit of many in these days, and staying with it all day. We had no post office to drive to, taking a day each week, and no hotel with its bar end billiards to take another day, and few persons with whom to discuss politics, weather and crop pro- spects ; so that the terrible tax of fifty per cent upon our productive energy, a tax that would drive a man into anarchy if done by any but himself, was all saved up and devoted to the very commonplace but important task of getting bread, and we made a living and kept up out of the mud. We had much to encourage our industry. The soil was rich and productive, the climate, in my judgment, the best in Can- ada. That does not say that we have not at times severely cold weather. Nor does it say that we can grow all the vegetables, • or meny of the fruits that con be grown succesefully in other parts of Canada.

The rain- fall is under the average for Canado but for the ten years we have been here we have had no approach to a killing drought. There are few severe storms, no blizzards, nor hot winds.
