d Wigston, quickly, "be sure and
rt up a good lunch and lots of it, for
the hungriest place I know of."
"Oh, Tllbe sere to—that is, enough
far you and me," said Marcia, with au
jjgtaut change of spirit, nodding her
head at him gayly, "for Bell and Char-
ley won't want any, because you know
there's nothing half so sweet in, life, etc.,
And they can live on that.
"'No, you don't," said Charley. "I'm
the very model of the old woman who
was so unreasonable as to require noth-
ing for her bodily support, except vic-
tuals and drink, and, as with her, they•
institute the chief of my diet."
Then, after some arrangements for
the next day, they parted.
"'The Cliffs" were a long ledge of
rooks, almost the highest land on the
coast from Maine to Florida, and a re-
sort for lovers of nature who would take
the trouble to get to them, for, like that
to many other ood things, the way to
them was long nd hard. It was one of
those charmin olden days in late Oc-
tober, when the glorious sunshine tem-
pers the air to just the right point of
fresh crispness, when the blood in one's
veins seems to renew its youth . ten
years if one is old, and fairly to bubble
with exhilaration it one is young ; but
notwithstanding, sun and air filled also
with a tinge of sadness, for the very
perfection of it all weighs upon sensi-
tive and loving souls, because the
thought will come, "it will so soon be
gone." As the old horse began to climb
the steep and rooky road leading to the
solitary house and barn where they
were used to put up their horse, Marcia
said:
"How hard, and bare, and rooky it
all looks ! The words `abomination of
desolation' always seem to me to apply
especially to this place. I don't know
exactly, for that seems to mean a per-
fectly barren spot, which this is not,and
yet there is something—what is it ?—
so forbidding about it all ; only the sun-
shine redeems it."

her tail was about 110,000,000 miles

She weighed within a few ounces of

through space at the rate of 7,639,281

Humorous Retorts.
A. retort may be either civil or un-
civil, courteous or nncourteous, witty or
severe. The simple meaning of the
word is thus given by a well-known
compiler : "To return an argument,
accusation,. censure, or incivility to
make a severe reply." A few examples
may not be uninteresting to the reader.
We must not always infer, because a
man takes to the army as a profession,
or for pastime, or even under any other
circumstances adopts a military uni-
form, that a plucky and courageous
disposition has prompted him to act ;
or we might never have heard of the
following "Many days to your honor,
and may God bless yon,for yon once saved
my life," said a tattered mendicant to a

mock amazement, "you've enti ely
made up your mind to be han ;ed,
Dick !" .
We shall also find that natural
tory plays a frequent part in the•c
acter _ of a retort : "As rough
bear," "sharp as a ferret," "sly
fox," "nervous as a kitten," "bold
lion," playful as a lamb," "timid
mouse," "obstinate as a mule,"•hu.
as a wolf." In our earlier days we
gain the distinction of being a you
monkey," and in our later years of b Mg
"pig-headed." One's temper, howe eL
is not very considerably ruffled by the
mild allusions to the animal kingdo
a smile or a serious look at the t
being sufficient retaliation:
A witty nobleman once asked
clerical gentleman at the bottom of
table why the goose, whet there was
one, was always placed : next to the
parson. "Really, my lo)d," said the
clergyman, "your gnestioyn is some-
what difficult to answer, and so re-
markably odd that I vow I shall never
see a goose again without being reminded
of your lordship." I
It is related of Lord Falkland that in
1658, ander the Commonwealth, his ad-
nission to the House of Commons was
very much opposed by several members,
he being barely of legal age. Some
urged that he had not yet sown his wild
oats. "Perhaps not," he quickly re-
torted ; "but no doubt a good oppr-
tnnity will be offered me to sow then
in this House, where evidently there
are plenty of geese to pick them upl."
The petulance of youth was here most
forcibly exhibited.
There is a class of peculiar people eve
sometimes observe at places of pubic
resort, who endeavor by various means
to make themselves remarkably cn-
spicuous, it may be in dress, conversa-
tion, or general behavior. At a catt1 e-
ahem held in one of our country towns,
a country bumpkin, who for some time
had been disturbing the company with
hie loud remarks, at last broke forth :
"Prize -cattle, indeed ! "Call these 'tire
prize -cattle ? Why, they ain't ndthibg
to what our folks raised. You may 't
think it, but my father raised the b g -

have no doubt of that." - -

Or
r attention, we parry the same sound
prin4iples into each and every department of our business, viz.: The best quality
possible for the least money. We have one of the Largest and Best Selected
Stooks of General Groceries West of Toronto, which, for Quality and Prices, are
unexcelled. In SUGARS we avoid all low-priced goods, believing them to
be neither economical nor beneficial to the purchaser ; therefore, we cannot offer
yon 14 pounds to the dollar.
OUR CROCKERY AND GLASSWARE DEPARTMENT
Is inspection, worthyof ins ection, as we can show you goods not usually kept outside of
theo ties. We now hold a fine assortment of DINNER SETS, TEA' SETS and
BEDROOM SETS, imported for ns ditect from the Monufaeturers, which we
are selling at 20 per cent. less than you can buy the same goods for in the pities.
Give us a pall, and ibok through our mammoth establishment under the clock
