RIDDEL 764-7v v` fatee/110## ***rics****Ics*******e ig• LOVE'S EXILE.444444444444 44444A A keen sensation of something, which I regret to say was not wholly disappointment, shot through me as I perceived that, so far free" having acquired any touch of the comfortable and commonplace which is the out- ward and visible sign of an inward domestle tranquility, Fabian was leaner, more haggard than ever. Ile had grown mane petulant and, irrita- ble, too, as I gathered from his annoyance with a Jorge and lively party of very wail -dressed people who eat in ole of -tile boxes nearest rite stage, and who, without trans- gressing such lax bonds of good breeding as usually control the oeou- pants of stalls and boxes, evidently found more entertainment in each. other than in ;the people on the stage. I gleamed up at the) box, fallowing instinctively the udireotion of Fab- Lan's eyes, and saw an ugly hue de- Ver-lookIng young man very much oc- cupied with a pale, sad -faced lady ; two very young men and two other ladies, both with the dead -white com- pplexioaus and black dresses, which leave been o2 late so popular with the hale world and Its imitators, formed the rest oa the decupaute. Before the end of the first scene zu wi}tah he was engaged. Fabian had recognized mo, and in the 'pause be- tween the acts a roto from him was broughlt to me by one of the atten- dants asking me to "go and speak to Babiole, and to come home to sup- per with thein." Speak to Babiole I Why, then, she must be in the theatre! I got up and peered about with my glasses ; but though I could see well Into ev- ery part off the ]lOuSe, I could die - cover no one in the least like my, little witch orf the Mille. Atter n • careful in.speoticm, I deelded that she must be one of the three or four ladies who were hidden by the cur- tains of the boxes in which they sat. IA this belief I had resumed my seat and given up the search, when, just as the curtain was rising upon the next act, and I glanced up again at the people who lead excited Fabian's wrath, a Iook, a movement of the pale, sad -looking lady suddenly at- tracted my attention. I raised iny, glasses again in consternation ; for, changed as the was, with all her pretty color faded, the bright light gone from her eyes, the soft outlines of her little face altered and sharp- ened, there was now no possibility of mistaking the melancholy and listless lady who was atilt absorbing the at- tention of the clever -looking man be- side her for any other than any old pupil, Through the remaining two acts of the piece I namely dared to look at her ; everything 'seemed to indicate the total failure of the match I had made. I wanted to escape for that night ami' further indictenent than my, fears brought against me, butt I wast scarcely outside the theatre after the performance when a hand was laid; upon my shoulder in the crowd, and Fabian, who had hurried round to meet me, led me ba,ek into the build- ing and presented me to his wife. Tho young follow bad been so devoted in the box was with her still, together with one of the Males in black, Fab - Ian's manner, to me was as emphati- cally cordial as ever, and show -ed no trace of a grievance against me ; but )3e, -biota's was utterly changed. She wale talking to her companion when she caught sight of ms, as I passeel through the swinging doors with hey husband, and made my way toward her among the footmen and plush-enrveloped ladles. The words elm was uttering suddenly froze an her lips, and the last vestige of color left her pale, Fane an if at some sight( at least as horrible .as unexpected. Be- fore I reaohed her she had recovered herself, however, and was holding outs ber hand, not indeed with the cold frank pleasure, but with a very gra- claim conventional welcome. "Fancy, my dear," said Fabian, "the villain has been in the country two whole days without thinking of calling upon u". T`lese sneaking ways must be punished upon the spot, and I pronounce therefore that he be im- mediately seized and carried off td capper." I protested that I was too tired to do anything but fall asleep, "Well, you can fall asleep at our place just as well as at yours. And that reminds mo that you had bet- ter sleep there. We've plenty of room, and we can send the boy for your things." Then homeward, he said, let no drive, "Thanks. It's awfully kind of you, and they drove, Scott, but 1 couldn't dc! that.

Consumption Salt pork is a famous old- fashioned remedy for con- sumption. " Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 5o and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it.

"In a. d etwing-rooni of one of the stateliest mansions 01 Pall -Mall, at an early hour of the evening of Sept. 6, 1766, a young and lovely woman was sitting alone. The house," writes Mr. A. W. Jarvis, in the Pall Mall Magazine, "was the town residence of Maria, Countess -Dowager of Wal- degrave. The solitary occupant of the room was the Countess (one of the Misses Walpole), who, though she was the mother of three children, and bad been a widow for about three years, "was still in the flower and freshness of the girlish beauty that seven or eight years before had a Zonate love of a for ss won o her. e p rich and powerful earl. Ere many moments had passed, a well -looking gentleman, whose slight figure and comely face entitled him to be de- scribed as a handsome boy, entered the room, greeting the lady affection. ately, The gentleman was the Duke of Gloucester, brother of the reign- ing Sovereign. 'Theta two young peo- ple had been lovers for many months. Fearful of exciting the fling's opposi- tion, they were about to be secretly married. Ten minutes later ;they were joined by the lady's domestic chap- lain, the Rev. Robert Morton, who, prayer -book in hand, proceeded to perform the office for which he Iliad been invited. It was a scene foee the stage. T.he bride was still a girl in appearance, and the boyish bride- groom in his twenty-fourth year. The altar was a bulfl-table, littered with knack -knacks and the volumes of the tact new novel. The time was be- tween seven and nine in the evening, and the curtained drawing -room, that for the occasion did duty as a chapel, was lighted with a few can- dles. For five whole years the secret was Jealously guarded." Minard's Liniment Cures La Grippe. Trapped. Montreal Herald. "Are you fond of birds ?" she asked innocently, as she stood at the piano fumbling the music, "I dearly love theta," he replied with never a shadow of suspicion. Then she ran her slender finger over the keys and began to sing: "Oh, Would I Were a Bird."

Wonder has often been expressed at the number or sowing girls who never wed. The fact is that the girl who plies( her needle for a live- lihood is out of the way of getting a husband. Seo does not come in contact with men in her work, as other girls da, a,nd with so little time for anything bat her work she does not make the acquaintance of inar- riageable men. The very nature of her employment excludes men from her society during her working hours. Her aesoclates, and even her employers, are almost invariably of her own sex. No class of women are more deserving of good hus- bands teen are the women who make their living with their needles, They are usually'modest, refined and do- mestic. They do not hunt hus- bands, and, being so withdrawn from the daily lives of mon; husbands da not lienally hunt them because they do not usually; know of them. Conscience.
