As we got beyond the precincts of the city and came to the level stretches of the Essex marshes, we saw the greenness of the has- tening summer upon the earth. It was the time of hope and promise, and yet we felt depressed, because- the country through which we sped seemed less uplifted by the hopeful benison of spring than any eountry we had ever seen. -More than once, looking out of the carriage window,- Wardrop shook his head. , 'We a dreich business, I doubt, farming here, David; and I wonder that a man who had once tasted life among the Lanark hills could suffer it here.' But when we got beyond Grays and Til- bury the- prospect brightened, and became more like the farming lands to which we had been accustomed in our youth. We found the village of Rayleigh a picturesque and thriving -looking place, scattmed on the slope of a pleasant hill. We had to pass through it on our way to our destination, which rejoiced in the somewhat pretentious designation of Appleton Lodge. The house was built of red brick, and, being surround- ed by some goodly trees, presented rather a sheltered and homelike appearance; but the surrotmding land WEL9 wretched. Nothing could redeem it. And Wardrop kept shak- ing his head as we walked up the ill -made and ill -kept road to the house. As we crossed the last paddock and came within sight of the front door, we saw a covered wagon standing before it, into which they appeared to be storing the fur- niture of the house. We're too late, David, I doubt,' said Wardrop, somewhat excitedly. 'I'm sure they have sold them up.' We hastened forward, and reached the door just as two stalwart men carried through the porch a heavy mahogany bed - *teed such as one only sees in old-fashioned houses. Just within the door stood the old farmer, looking more dejected and aged in - his working garb than he had done the day we saw him in the office. His face hardly brightened at the sight of us. Ids too late, sir, he said. 1They'veet ta'en everything; there's not even a beast left upon the place. We'll have to sleep on the baae floor this nicht if we atop here, and the only refuge we have in this earth now is the puirhouset' JIIIT 29 189 Into their °bitches, battened on their inlet ery, and never Tested until they robbed thein of everything they posseesed.

XIII. A REAL MOTHER.. 'Boddie isn't well,' said Wardrop to me one day. 'The dootor says he can't winter in England; I suppose you know what that means.? Why, he has seemed a sturdy little chap up to now,' I said, when I-- had recovered from the shock his words gave me. 'When did he develop his present weakness It has come,on gradually. I have known fora long time (that he has been outgrowing his strength, and his-precoaity has stabbed me a thowiand times of late. I shall have to give hine up, David. have faced it al- ready.- Oa how bard lifele, and how olean these things take the heart out of ono!' I had seldom seen Wardrop so moved; -certainly I had never heard hiiid express himeelf with such hopeless bitternese: What are you going to do, then?' asked, after a moment's pause. Expressed sympathy seemed vain. I did not attempt it, certain my silence would not be Misun- derstood. 'Do? Oh, send him abroad, I suppose. Mrs. Deane has a slider married to one of the English doctors in Florence. She sug- gests taking him there.' It is a long way,',I said quickly, 'and you would want to come' and go a goad deal. Would Nice or Cannes not be bet- ter ?' 'For some things, yet; but it would be something to have him upder the, case of a medical man we know/ something about, His wife's health compels Dr. Duncombe to live abroad, otherwise he would have made a career for himself here.' '1 see,' I answered, , And will they go soon ? Yes, immediately, I expect. The fogs will be upon us before we know where .we are, and there is no tine to lose.' When Wardrop left me, my mind was full of his news, and all the circumstances connected with it. It was now close upon two years since the night he and I stood by the deathbed of his ,unhappy wife, and I often wondered if he would ever build up another home for himself. I could not un- derstand the delay, but it was not a subject I dared approach to him. I could only wait to see what time would bring forth. As was to be expected, Wardrop was very much engaged during the next few days making arrangements for the travellers, and getting his own work forward in order to -journey with them. I wish that you had been going, David,' he said to me, as we sat together by the fire in the old Surrey Street rooms on that ' bleak October night. 4 But you have be- come so indispensable to the Gazette that you can't be spared. I see that that thoughe is not ill -pleasing to you,' Indeed it was not, and it was soinething of a surprise to me to bear Wardrop admit that my services were. of such value. We did not talk very much as we sat together that night in the familiar, memory -haunted room. A kind of shado* seemed to be be- tween ns, a something more than the thought of a temporary parting. Had I known,that it was the last night Wardrop and I should sit together as comrades and room -mates at that fireside, .I should have been no fit company for him or for any- body. It is well, always well, that certain things are hid until they t come upon us swiftly, and often accompanied by circum- stances which for the moment Make regret impossible. Well, we have been very happy here to- gether, lad,' he said, breaking a long silence. How long has the same roof cov- ered us?' - Nearly five years,' I answered. 'It will be five years when February comes round again.' 0 Where is your wife?' asked Wardrop. `I dinna ken, answered the old man. When they came with the cart to take away the things, -the heart seemed to gang cleaa out of her, and she just ran out of the house. You see, she likes the bit things; they're what we've had all our days, what we got when we married five -and -thirty years syne in the auld hoose at harned 'Can nothing be done to stay this execu- tion, sir?' I asked hurriedly, for the sight of the old man's hopeless s.nguieh was more than I could bear. I've got some money. I'll give every penny of it cheerfully to help. At least they niust keep some of their things.' Wardrop stepped across to a man who stood a little aside from the cart watching the operations, and apparently superintend- ing the two who were carrying out the things. I did not hear what he said, but I could see that the discussion was sharp and caustic on both sides. However, what he said had some effect, for ;the men re- ceived their orders to stay exection, and be- gan, though with some reluctance, to carry the things back into the house. When they were all restored, Wardrop dismissed the bailiff's men with scant courtesy, and we stepped within the house. Before the empty cart had gone out of sight, a thin. faced, weary -looking woman came stealing, almost like a hunted thing, down the side of the sheltered trees, and crept into the house looking about her with surprise, scarcely able to believe the evidence of her own eye's at sight of her reatored household goods. To her Wardrop spoke a few words of kind sympathy, and she, unable to answer him, sat down on the old nursing -chair upon which she had rocked all her babies, and burst into helpless tears. I shall never for- get the pathos of that picture. The poor old man and woman in their dismantled house, without hope for the present or for the future, was one of the saddest sights I have ever. aeon. Waardrop's prompt action relieved them from immediate difficulties, but their case was beyond permanent help. The Glovers were obliged to leave the farm in which they had fared so sadly. Though Warclrop's influence he obtained a situation in the city - at a weekly wage, sufficient to •keep him and his Wife in the necessaries and a few of the simpler, comforts of life, but neither of them lived long. It is difficult to transplant the old, and it was natural that, having been accustomed to the freedom of the fields and woods, they should suffer when removed to the city. That night, after we- went home, Wars drop, angered beyond what wale common with him, Wrote a very scathing article for the Gazette, couched in the bitterest and most caustic style, exposing the methods of the vile money -leading fraternity, who, hav- ing got such simple creatures as the Glovers A 'Well, they have -been years of jolly good comradeship, he eaid heartily, and I can honestly say that on, my part your friend- ship' has been one of the precious things of -my life. Your young courage and hope has often given me heart when I must have fal- tered and perhaps fallen by the way.' O'sir I cried, almost overcome, if you can say that I have been some Comfort to you, what can I say of all you have been to me?' Tut;tut !let that pa with me in many a quee your patience and lo never had an end.

Roddie certainly looked a bit delicate and fragile. He had shot up, it seemed to me in a few months, from sturdy childhood lank boyhood, and looked exactly as Wardrop had said, as if he were s.

For the first time in his life Wardrop took a perfeot holiday; for three weeks we never saw his face, nor did we hear from him except an occasional wire to say all was well. It was near the end of November be- fore he returned; .beonzed, rested, and re- freshed, and with his mind somewhat eased, I could see, concerning his boy.

Another day I will explain how it came about that we had borne that long proba- tion so patiently. Now it is Wardrop's love -story I must tell. Two days before Christmas a telegram suddenly summoned Wardrop to Florence; the boy was dangerously ill, and his illness was such as to baffle for the time being all the skill they could find. Wardrop went off at once, taking with him a London phy- eician whose moments had to be paid for in gold, and I waited with what patience I might for well. tardier news of those whom I loved so For three days ca,tie no message, good or - bad, and though I tried to comfort myself with the thought that no news is good news, I was bowed down ith the weight of my anxiety. A telegram which not reassuring. I words, ' Come at spared, but that w s a message there was no ignoring. After few hours' superhuman work to keep things from standing still in the double absence, I went off by the Club train to Paris, and travelled right on with- out a moment's stoppage by the Orient to Florence./ I arrived there about seven .o'clock On the following day, and drove straight to Dr. Duncombe's house on the Lung Arno. It was also my first visit to Florence, but I was too much engrossed with my own foreboding thoughts to pay Much heed to my surroundings. , I did no- tice, however, as I drove through the gay evening crowd on the Lung Arno, the rapid flow and the muddy -waters of the river whose banks are so rich in memory mad romance. , • Dr. Duncornbe occupied a beautiful and spacious mansion directly facing the river. The windows were all lit, I could see; ae. I drove up to the door, and that gave me hope, for when death enters a house the lights are lowered, and all is in keeping with the solemnity of the hour. outgrowing his strength. But he was in great spirits over the thoughe of his trip, and apparently had 110 understanding of the terrible anxiety which gnawed at his father's heart. Mrs. Deane was the eame gracious, gentle, and kindly wonian she had ever been, but I fancied that her face was a little sadder than it used to be, and her fine eyes shadowed, but there could be no doubt - about her anxious solicitude concerning her charge. It betrayed itself in every glance and tone. s London seemed empty to me without them, but I threw myself heart and soul in- to my work, eager to deserve still further the commendation which my chief ,had so freely given me. It had been small credit to me, if after five years of his • close com- panionship, five years' study of his wonder- ful ' /example he could not have left me in charge withan easy mind. It was my aim soto conduct the journal that the mail - GUI REEPINI TINGIN SKIM DISEASES RELIEVED BY ONE AF. PLICATION OF Dr. Agnew's Ointment, 35 CENTS.

Oh, it's all right,' he said quickly. You can go back todnorrow if you like, after I have told you what I want. I say, they all think I'm going to die don't they ?' Be spoke the words with considerable difficulty ; the momentary gleitin of strength and brightness had passed, and I saw his aPpalling weakness. It was indeed true, as Wardrop had said, his life was hanging by a thread. They have never said anything of the kind to me,' I answered, as stoutly as I could, and I don't believe you are. going to die either.' - I '1 don't believe it myself, although I feel patty bad,' he whispered.

'1 want troe to tell dad to marry auntie, here in this room, so that I can see it.'

'That is a larger order than ueual, Rod - die,' maid thoughtfully. How HI it to be Why, as easy OA Punch,' said Roddie, confidently.

Would it help you to get we4l?'- think that if father ,and auntie were married, I !should get well,' he said, with a shrewd, far -away look in his eyes. Then, you see, I should' have a real mother.' These words revealed something of the child's inner heart, a something which brought a lump in my throat. Well, since you have sent for me all the way from London to do this, Boddie, I sup- pose there is no escaping.. But I am quite prepared for consequences the most, terri- abnleg. ryrsat if your father should be very 'Oh, he won't be,' said Boddie, confident- ly. 'You see; it's what he wants; I know it is, and he will be very muoh obliged to me for letting him know.' From this conclusive argument there was no escaping, and observing the inereasing pallor on the child's face, which showed that already he had' overtaxed hia strength, 1 rose hastily and rang the bell. In a mo- ment Mrs. Deane was by hie side. I inter- *cepted Wardrop just as he was entering the room. 'Come downstairs. Rodaie has said his say,' I said,hardly knowing how I expressed Myself. (It is something he wishes me to tell you.' Wardrop pushed open his own room door, and motioned me 'in. It was almost in dark- ness, but the reflection of the lamps along the river's brim oast a light across the walls and floor. The window was open, and the happy din of the evening crowd was borne in to us upon the flower-scented air. War- drop looked at me inquiringly. What was it? What did he say?' I saw that he had no expectation of what, he was to hear, and I was silent a moment, casting about for fitting words to convey the message to him. .

Mrs. Deane sat on a chair by the bed, gent- ly fanning the poor little lad, who seemed to me to he as one dead upon the bed. But° suddenly, as I etooped over him, he opened his eyes. - Shall I ever forget to my dying day the joy which leaped in them as he saw me ? It inoved us all to tears, but me most a 'till. David!' he said joyfully, so you have ome. Oh, that is nice.' `I think I shall be jealous,' said Wardrop, With a wavering smile, whereat Roddie es- sayed a smile also. (.0eyou silly dad!' he said ; and at these worde the likeat to his ordinary talk that Boddie had uttered for many an hour, 1 saw an unspeakable relief come into Wardrop's face. Dad, I want to speak . to Davidall by myself, nobody in the room, not even auntie,' Roddie said, in quite a strong, clear voice. - Thin surprised us all, but no demur was made. You shall do so, Boddie,' said the doc- tor, if you promise not to talk toe. much. I dare say David, as you call him, will see to that.' Yes, indeed I I said; and after a few minutes they all, on some pretext or other,slipped away, and we were left alone. What do you mean by carrying on like thin, old chap ?' and sitting down on the said anythiug in my life. He stared at me a moment, and then wallded to the open window, where he stood with his back to me. Do you mean to say he sent you to me with that message?' he asked at length, but without looking round. 'Yes; he says he wants to have a real mother.' Then Wardrop, taking a deep breath, turned round and walked out of the room. After a few moments I followed him, and left the house; the sweet evening air and the fascination of the beautiful city wooed me out of doors. But while I smoked my cigar, and looked about me with lively in- terest, my thoughts were back in the house I had left. I even felt a certain nervousness in returning, and delayed it as long as I possibly could. The bells were ringing ten o'cloek as I stepped once more into the cool, dusky courtyard before Dr. Duncombe's door. A great tree grew in the centre of it, casting' its dark -and grateful shade in the daytime upon the burning pavement. At night it seemed to make dusky corhers and quiet nooks undreamed of in the narrow space. I heard voices as I passed through the gate and closed it behind me, and before I had reached the door, Wardrop called me by my name. I saw that he was not alone, and I approached them shamefacedly as a girL He had her hand on his arm, and her sweet face was suffused with that soft, tender light only seen when emotion has reached some rare and blessed height. (To be Continued.) • R. WILLIS, SOLE LOCAI4 AGENT FOR EtAFORTIC His proper punishment for a shabby trick is recorded by one of our exchanges. He bought a cheap but pretty table caster for which he paid a dollar. On reaching home be put on it a tag marked $14, and made a preshnt of it to a, Methodist preecher, whose church his family attended. The minister took'the package home, after thanking the donor; but the next day he fetched the caster, with, the tag attached, back to the merehant, and odd to him: "1 am to poor in this world's goods to afford to display so valuable 'a caster on my table, and if you have no objections I should like to zeturn it and take fourteen dollar*? worth of grecegies in e its stead." The merchant could do nothing but assent to so reasonable a prop- osition. Too Good to be Lost. " War," said the old Colonel., as he stirred his toddy, "18 too terrible to con- template. It should not . be spoken of lightly, sir. It is a serious, sad affair. I have two graves in Virginia, one in Ten- nessee, and three in,Kentucky, and but for the war the men who fill them would be living yet!" "Your sons, Colonel ? " asked the listner in an awed voice. The Colonel tossed off his toddy neatly and, stroking his grey beard, said: "No, sir—my substi- tutefa—the brave men who fought, bled, and died for me!" A country merchant from a Western rural district visited the city to purchase goods. Actors, Singers, Speakers In a certain infantry regiment of regu- lars, the Colonel of which was a strict dis- ciplinarian, there enlisted a clever gymnast, who taught the boys how to walk across the barrack -rooms on their hands. One night this exercise was proceeding as usual, when the Colonel entered, looked around attentively at the inverted company, shook his head gravely and departed. Everyone thought there would be trouble, and. extra parade duty was the slightest penalty an- ticipated. Strange to say not a word came from the martinet. The senior sergeant then thought it proper to offer an apology, and he rather awkwardly broached the sub- je3t. "Not a word," said the Colonel. "1 would not have anybody know. The truth is, I had been dining with an old brother officer who has just come from the plains, and upon my word, I did not think the, wine could have such an effect. Would you ypu believe it, when I looked -in that could have sworn that I saw you all upside down!" The keeper of a shop In an English town was standing in his door, says the London Telegraph, when he was accosted by a men with a wooden leg and a crutch. "I want you to do me a favor, the man said.. "1 want to leave my leg with you for a few minutes and go round the next street and and work'a house for half a crown. I've an - idea that the folks are very sympathetic. If I go with one leg I'm sure to fetch 'em." "Very well," said the shopkeeper, "just leave your leg there and I will take care of it:" The wooden leg was unstrapped and handed over and the cripple used the crutch to help himself down the alley.' Five min- utes later he rang the door -bell of a house in the next street, only to have it opened by the man he had just seen. " Wha—wha— what!" he gasped. " Very sympathetic family lives here," quietly replied. the other. "You seem to have met with a sad loss, and Pria anxious to help you. Here is a wooden leg which may fit you." The leg was hand- ed over. The map sat down on the steps, strapped it on, and stumped away, think- ing, no doubt, that life is full of rairprieee. • AGONIZING PAINS.

Fregaently the victim is utterly helpless, the least movement causing the most agon- izing pains. Those who are Buttering from this malady the billowing statement from Mr. John Hayes, of Hayesville, York Co,, N. B., will point therdad to relief and .cure. Mr. Hayes Bala :—" For upwards of twenty years I have suffered from weakness and pain in the back. Some four years ago my trouble was intensified by Sciatica settling in my right leg. What I suffered seems almost beyond description. 1 employed three doctors, but all to no purpose; I had to give up work entirely, and almost de - paired of life. This continued for two years—years filled with misery. At this time I was advised to try , Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; and after using six boxes both the sciatida and the weakness in the back, which had troubled me so long, were gone. I was again a well man and feeling fifteen years youbger thin before I- began the pills. Nearly two years have passed since I dis- continued the use of Di. William' Pink Pills, and in that time rid' symptom of the trouble has shown itselt. Under God I thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for what they have done tor me!'

B. such a tidy little girl near me. You will find bay water in that pink bottle on tAse. bussu," said Mrs. Ball. While the little, soft hands were pass% over her troubled brow, the lady sai "Polly, I think ypur fannly are the hap. picot '-poor people '1 ever met." "Ob, Mrs.Ball, we're not 'poor people,' cried Polly,- with a queer laugh. There are three poor families in our house, but we are rich—almost. We were rich once, and had half a house, though we're not so rick now, since father lost his arm; but as mother can do up laces,so beautifully, we're pretty rich still. We do lots of thingsto help the poor folks in the house, and other poor fake, too." 44 What can you do for them ?" asked the lady.ef "Oh, lite can save Mrs. Crane's coal by. letting her steep her tea in our kitchen— days that she can keep warm by sitting in the sun—and we take care -of Mrs, Barnes' baby whenever she gets a day's work, and mother always makes broth enough on Wed- nesdays to share with someone that'll poor. , Who do you call poor folks,' Polly ?' asked the lady. ' Polly had no definition ready, but after thinking for a moment, she replied, m Poor folksisre folks that don't - have everything they Want." " Then you have everything you want? asked Mrs. Ball. "Yee, ma'am," replied Polly innocently. "We1all lutve Sabbath elothes, besides elle:-Y common ones • and we have good things to• eat—mother blitzes all our bread and pies herself—and we have a real nice kitchen -to- work and eat it—without a bed in it, like Poor folks ; and we buy a whole ton of coat at once, instead of lots of busheds."- And so little Polly prattled on in a low,, pleasant Voice, till the lady really, felt bet- ter, and said so. " tell you what's another real good thing to drive the rest of it off—air and atm - light, Mother never shuts up for a heads, ache," said the little nurse. Here Polly looked at the bronze olook and said, "It. time now for the baby to wake up, and I shall have to go as soon as I let in a little of my sun and air ; but PIL °me- in any time when you have the headed*, - and cure you again." • - "Thank you, my good little girl; you have almost cured me now," said Mrs. Ball , " In my ebaset you will find a large paper bag full of oranges ;take them home and. share them with the poor folks in 'par house." The rich little girl ran borne in glee to - divide the treasures with the less fortunate. . The poor lady lay alone, to reflect on the. lesson she had just recoiled. She had lost twenty thousand dollars, but she had thirty thousand left # and instead of being thankful for that, she - was bewailing her fate as if she was next to a pauper. She would still have all the comforts, although a few less of the luxuries of life and, as she remembered now, no oyie 'Cut herself would suffer by the change, for she bad never helped "the poor folks in the house," or out of it, as Polly's mother was doing.. 44 Poor folks," said she to 'herself, " are - folks who haven't everything toey want. I haven't that twenty thousand and I never - can h,ave it again, but I' eau learn to be happy on fess and to Aare. even what I have with otgers." A ray of Polly's sup" peeped in and a - breath of pare air_ was wafted toward her and she rose, saying: "Because I have lost some of my fortune, I need not therefete. throw away my health, the best of all: my = bleseings.' In Polly's sense of the word, the poor are, oftt found amid elegance and, luxury, and the ruiy rich in humble dyeellings.—Sel- - ecte Who are `1` Poor Folks." 'Polly was a bright and beautiful child, 'who, with a brother older than himself, car- ied home the laundry work to her mother's patrons. She was always neatly dressed, and had a happy smile and a cheerful voice. One day Polly carried home some fine laces to a lady in a hotel. The servant told her the lady was ill, and could not be dis- turbed, but Polly had had strict orders not to trust her package with anyone else; so she ventured to go upstairs. _ She stood at the door for a moment, and then tapped very lightly, saying to herself, "11 she is asleep, that won't wake her, and if-shetaawake she will answer." In a moment a low voice asked, " Is that you,Bridget ?" "No ma'am," replied Polly, putting her lips very close to the keyhole and speaking in a loud whisper, "It's Pauline Brown, that folks calls Little Polly.' I have a particular message for you and I won't dis- turb you a bit if you will let me in.." The lady could not help saying, "Come in," in answer to this modest request,. - She was in trouble, and that had caused her a sick headache. She lay there all alone in a darkened room, with no one to care whether she got better or not. Polly had justcome from a bright, sunny room, with a gay rag carpet on the floor, and bright flowers growing in this window; and this room, with its heavy draperies, looked gloomy to her. She went up to the bed and gave her menage in a Ow'sweet voice, and then sidil 4' Oh, Mid. Ball, I am so sorry for you! You haven't any husband or little girl to comfort you when you are sick. My mother has father, and Tommy, and mei and the baby. Sometimes when she has her tired headaches, I can drive them off just with my own hands and a little bay water, I don't suppose you would let me sit eupon your nice bed, and bathe your bead, would you?'
