ono of those relations into which Lwe clever people 50 often drift, when their surroundings and education have been much alike.With a ground of genuine liking, largely mixed, on his part, with admiration, it had been a surprise to noithbor of them to learn that this relation had grown to be too Uear u une to be given up; in fact, that Lo go from this to an ostensibly nearer uno wus.scarcely a transition.This bad beon the subject of their talk the evening before.He had asked her to be bis wile, and sho bud unswer- ed him calmly.eusily, almost lightly, and had then roetrrcied, almost Letore he had roceived it, the consent she had given.* No,\u2019 she bad said, \u2018I will give you no answer now.I will wait until you come buck from this journey.lt isa new way of looking at ourselves\u2014you and me\u2014you know.Let me become a little used to it before I make up my mind.\u2019 It was of this that he wus thinking pow.He was very much in love with her.He was sure of this; the doubt now cast over their relations made him koeuly realize it.Though Adelaide wan cleur sighted und thoroughly reliant on her own conclusions, she wus nevertheluss a girl of mouds.Might not hor very kcenness and clear-sightedness, ber distrust of emotional phases lead her 10 reject him after all.It was more than possible.He was by no means thal repellant and unwise creutivn, à Cuulideul lover.His safety luy in not disturbing her, in making the whelo ulfuir à reasonable uno, not ularming her by a die- play of sentiment sho would be sure to think oxuggorated.Their conversation hud gone on in a very quiet and very charateristic strain, \u2018 * We belong lo our age; do we not?\u2019 she bud said with a serious smile.\u2018I hope so,\u2019 he had replied.It must be a good deal of u bore to be an an- achyonism., Apd if ope is porn so it's a difficult thing te live down.* Yos, she went on, \u2018I have always been thaukful that I have never had any aspirations, and longings, above my sphore.It is x matter of tempera ment.It iy not a severe morality that teaches me with what I have therowith to be contont; it's that my own churacter and the charactors of those about me atford me abundant entertainment, [ tind mysolf vory «interesting.\u2019 \u201cThat is not altogother surprising,\u2019 he observed lazily.\u2018And [ find you interesting, too;

and yet the sky was the color of a pink pearl ; and us Luwrence looked behind him westward, toward the village, the rigid tower of the orthodox Coungrogational church, looked like the minaret of a Turkish wosque, against that pale pink background, which bore, right ucross it, u sresk of deepor red, like the emeut ot u blood-stained finger.\u2018The mark of intolerance,\u2019 thought Brooks.\u2018The burning of the Salem witches.They came in sight of the farm house whore his friend was staying, and, framed in ils doorway, wusa picture which drew Lawrence's gare and held it fast, uulil the stopping eff the wagon, close in front of the low fouce, diverted him, in spite of himself.A young girl was scated there before a spinning-wheel, pulling aod twisting the flax with an absorbed little frown oun her white torohead.Her golden hair was parted in the middle and brushed smoothly buck behind her ears.Hor features wore regular and bor eyes dark blue, her cumplexion pure und clear us marble.She wore whilo\u2014a simply made, loosely flowing gown\u2014with a kerchicf crossed, pass ing under hor arms, and tied just above hor waist, ¢ Well dane,' was Lawrence's irreverent Conclusion.\u2018And well she looks the part !' He walked Lo the doer alone, and she rose gravely to lot him pass.He had expected lo meet a glance a little audacious, or one golf possessed and observant, either showing complete recoguition of (he situation.To his surprise ho met neither, \u2018He is within,\u2019 she said, in answer to his courteous question, and looked at him quietly, with what might have been so qualitied, so held in check by 4 quiet, ulmost stately reserve.As Lawrence entered and greeted lis friend she loft her spinning-wheel and passed quietly across the hall into another room.* À siek man's funcy,* suid the invalid, u olever looking man with iron gray hair, pointing to the wheel, after they bud exchanged a few sentences, \u2018Docs she not look as if she were made for n picture of à Puritan muidon busy with homespun ?\u2019 * Vory much,\u2019 said Brooks, dryly, His friond smiled at his tone, ¢ She is whut her training, net her oye for artistic effect, has made her,\u2019 he suid.\u2018Fu be sure she does uot 10a} ly apin.The whoei was her grandmoth- o's und [| bogged her tu learn to use it I bad a fancy to seo her seated bo fore it.\u201d : \u2018The picture is an eminently successful one.Sho recognised itn appropriateness, berseif, 1 hope.\u2019 \u2018But she did not,\u2018 said his friend.\u2018Sho is as absolutely unconscious of offect as a flower.\u2019 ¢ She is a woman.\u2019 * Yes, but unlike aur woman you have evar seen, Lawrence, her simplicity and hoi quaintiess.\u2019 * | huve seen them simplo.I havo soon them quuiac.\u201d : * But you have not soon Priucilla Brewster.\u2019 * Priscilla Brewster | Has she been hunded down iu the family ?Le cho a tradition 1\u2019 * Yes she ina (radition.Mer father is à rutirod clegyman, à man who bas lived in his books,\"in the bistory and thegiugy of the pilgrim 1athers, His manner of speech suggests tho colonial ness.She is his only daughter; and she has lived alone with bim always.Hor speech, too, savors now and then of Plymouth rock.You will meet them both later.And now for my business.Lum stronger at night than in the morning.Did you see Malory, uad what did ho say ?Later they all met the at sapper table Mr.Brewster wus a tall, slight, wbito- haired man, with a manner of grave politeness, but un absent, prevocupied air.He greetod Lawrence pleasantly, and asked him a question or two about Boston, the general bearing of which suggested to Brooks the appro priateness of mentioning that there had been 1 monument put up to mark the pesition of u recent battle at Bunker Hill.Priscilla proved to be a stately maiden, but with a positive haman interest in those about her.Her blue eyes mot Brooks's gray ones with an absence of self conecieusness that was dolightfal, but was evidently not tbe result of frequent encounters with others just liko them; us it was in Adelaide's case, for instance.Lawrence was fuscinated.The difference between her and other well-bred young women was 80 positive, yet so intangible, \u201cIt is not diffidence; it is not precisely indifference,\u2019 he thought.\u2018It is that she is not in the least thinking what sort of impression she is making ; not that she kiows she dees not trouble herself about it, but that she deos not think of it.Neither is she analyzing the impression I am making when she looks at me ;she ie thinking of me\u2014myself.She is not subjective.While he pleased himself with these speculations and evasive analyses, Brooks did not forget to be entertaining.He was u charming companion when so disposed, and his friend declar- «d himself on the fair way to recovery bufore the ovening was half over.\u201c À well-bred yoang man, said Mr, Brewster to Priscilla, after Lawrence and his friend had withdrawn to the latter's bedroom, and familiar with many thiogs ; if I did not mistake, he has lived a life of constant business intercourse with his fellows.It has imparted a eortain case of manner and facility of speech which are séldom met with but in those who are often with companieas of their own kind.* Ho is very differet.t; father, is he not, from the generality ?\u2019 asked Pris- cillu.\u201c Perhaps it is Letter that he is; for while his conversation is tbe more ugreeuble, il scemed to mo (bat there was tn ity luck of enrnestuess.| think once or twice bo said what assuredly ho did not mean, us when,\u2019 she went on, thoughtfully, * ho asserted that\u2018 the seals of the wcornful were no longer regarded bad taste;

and it may be he epoke truth, Though I must doubt if the young man is as afflicled at such things as he would do well to be,\u2019 he added, as bo rose to go to his own room.The next morning Brooks found Priscilla with balf a dozen children around her.They belonged to the fow fumilies scattered in tho neighborhood, and Priscilla was teaching them bits of natural history and the general eut- lines ot the multiplication table.She told him to stuy if he wished to do so, and woon aftor sent the children away.¢ Is this a regular thing, Miss Brewster ¥ he asked.'

\u201cYes; I think I do,\u2019 he answered, doubtfully.\u2018Shall I tell her about the emptiness of life?\" ho thoaght.\u2018I fear that would be going too far.\u2019 He could not think of anything clever to say; yet be felt that there was an epening for a good thing.\u2018But, no matter for me,\u2019 ho weut on, \u2018tell me what to do, what you think; for you must think moro than anything else if\" the winter.\u2018My father has not thought iL best for me lo go deeply into my own mols and impulses,\u201d said Priscilla, calmly.\u2018Ho bas never oncournged a habit of introspection.\u2019 Lawreuce was again oheckmated.Ho could not help thinking that, for that matter, probably Adelmide\u2019s father had not either.¢ I's just as well, L suppose,\u2019 he suid, thoughtfully, \u2018not to get into the way of soalyzing the effect that people aud things have upon ourseIves, It is tairer to tho people and things to judge thom upon general grounds.But { do not quite sce how you help it,\u2019 * The effects are soon in tho growth of our charactors,\u201d answered Prisvilla.Jt is not needful that we should judge of them, for in due time thoy will be seen of all men.« But what if thoy ave hartful ?It may thew bo toe late,\u2019 * It is our nobler instinute\u2014which it is ovor (be object ot à good education to strengiben\u2014 that distinguish always a good iuflacuce fram oma that is ovil.'

told by the worldly wise,\u201d went on Brooks, more lightly, \u2018that it is safor 10 take Cupid by the band and direct his footsteps than to uttempt to follow his vagrant leadership.\u2019 \u2018Thore wus a puuso ef soveral seconda.\u2018It is not u thing to talk about,\u2019 said Priscilla at last, very gravely.Lawrence wus tempted lo smile at the situation.Most young ludies of his acquaintance thought it was u thing to tulk about very much indeed.Priscilla was perbaps afraid that sha had boen Loo severe ; for she went on : \u201c! ain ignorent of such matters.I une, perhaps, the happier therefor ; for I bave hoaurd that it is a hurdship sometimes and a responsibility always; and\u2019 she went on, more slowly, \u2018a thing that is not 50 much a purt of one's life as life itself, and, being ordained and met, to bear with and struggle for as vue is best able.\u201d Lawrence begun to feel vaguely as it he were in church und as if there had been something irreverent in his aiming apples at the newest cow.\u2018I bave no doubt yeu are right,\u201d he au.swered soberly.\u2018It is near the sunsetting,\u2019 said Pris- cilly, rising, \u2018and my father will be troubled.\u201d So they bent their steps bomeward.Lawrence's friend met him in the deor-way.Ho lookod at bim koeuly as ho sat down beside Lim.\u2018And where have you boen with Mistress Priscilla

of her as weli 48 I do mysell.\u2019 \u2018Yes,\u2019 said his friend, quietly.\u2018It is possible that I do.I think much and often of her myself,\u2019 and he went on to speak of something else.Thefnext day Brooks leit the place and in the ovening called on Adelaide.She secmed to him a little changed.There was a softer light in her eyee and her usual warm color was more unsteady than usual.But the old charm of voice and manner was as potent as ever.As for himself he was surprised at his own emotion.He felt .he could not bear the losing her, ¢ Adelaide,\u2019 be suid after a few

Lawreece,\u2019 she said, with a little laugh, meeting his eyes frankly enough.I know my own mind now.These three days have been long ones.0, Lawrence! 1 have been so bored.Two men have called on me, and I said, after they were goue, that I did not see wby they should call so often.I nover thought you cullod often Lawrence.Yes, I have quite made up my mind,\u2019 and she laughed a little again.Before ho went ho told her about Priscilla.* How delicious!\" she said, \u2018but how trying ; and her views, how prehistor- iol\u2019 Not so far back, per baps, after all,» he said dreamily, thinking of that afternoon talk in tbe light of tho subsequent emotions.\u2018 You appreciated her then , did you not ?\u2019 said Adelaide, theughtfully.\u201cI think ! did\u2014 yes,' he answered, \u2018and I am afraid she appreciated me.\u201d * I an net so sure of that.But my questions bave not been answered, sneered Adelaide.\u201cWhen was it, I wondor ?he asked, \u2018I think it was a

disgrace upon the arms of Egypt.Mr.Gladstone has more than once shown a singular want of decision in his foreign policy.Unlike his pre decossor, Lord Boaconsfield, be does not ensure success by firmness and decision.The crisis in Egyptian affairs which bas now aroused tho Government to send reinforcements, simply compels them to do what shuuld have beer done at the outset of the revolt of the Arab tribes, under the lead of El Mahdi.On the contrary, as scon as things settled down a little after the victory at Tel-el-kebir, Mr.Gladstone hastened to announce that most of the English troops would be withdrawn from Egypt, leaving the control of af fairs io the hands of a powerless government, Tne withdrawal of treops had been going on for some time before the destruction of Hicks Pasha's army.Even then the danger of the position does not seem to have been realized by Mr.Gladstone, and not until atter some time did he propose to relieve the government ef responsibility by advising the withdrawal of the garrisons from the Soudan, But this policy wus too late.The enemy swarmed between the garrisened towns and safety.Then cume the crushing defeat of Gen.Baker's force followed]by the slaughter of Tewfik and his brave followers, These events have roused the blood of England und the people have spoken loud enough for tho government to hear.They have hurried off Geu.Gordon (Chinese Gordon) with plenary powers to try to pucify the insurgents and strengthen the tribes whose loyalty to Egypt has wavered under these ropeated disasters.Te cap the climax, France politely intimates that if the English so desire she will step in und restore order.The politeness scarcely conceals the sneer.Gen.Gordon, who is famaliar with tho people of the Soudan, who osteem him highly, has gone to the Soudan, attended only by bis secretary, and has been well received so far, but has suid that troops must be hastened to relieve the starving garrisons and people of tho boleagured towns.Sir 8am- uel Buker hus written a letter urging the necessity of retaining the Soudan and building a railway to connect Khartoam with navigation on the Nile.Ho says that with good government and the introduction of agricultural implements, the Soudan could be made fo produce immensely of cotton as well as nearly all the agricultural productions of Europe.Tho natives are a black ruce, industrious and peaceful if protected from the ravages of the Beawin Arabs of the desrrt, who live by rapine and plunder, If the Prime Minister of England, who seems to have lost his head, re- guins composure and firmness enough to meet the exigency by defending the country he aspired to protect, Egypt may yot regain a portion of ber territery in the Soudan.In the mean time, the House of Lords havo oxpressed their disgust by a vete of censure of tbe Commons, and a part of the Cabinet ministers are sulking over tho vascilating conduct of their leader.\u2014eew\u2014\u2014 The Quebec

tope of which can scarcely be reached with the long- eat oars.\u2018The situation at Uniontewn is bourly_ growing worse.Between Shawneetown aod Uniontown the country en both sides of the river, as far as the eye can reach, is one vast expanse of water, The distress among the refages in the hills is increasing, provisions and fuel both scarce, and sickness increasing.All the smaller towns are in as bad a condition us last year.Belew Pine Bluff, Ark.many plantations are flooded and the condition of the inhabitants is critical.The Red river is rising and hundreds of bouses are flooded, live stock are drowning in large numbers.The Ar- kansss river is falling.On Saturday night one-third of Pa- ducab, Ky., was under water, and a vise of two feet more would cover the entire town.New Liberty, 12 miles above, is entirely abandoned, and nothing but tha roofs of the houses can bo seen.Several other towns and villages aro as nearly as badly off.At Cincinnati, the water is falling 1} inches «an hour, and business has been resumed to a considerable extent.The bodies of several persons drowned in their houses have been recovered, Several rolief steamers ave plying on the Ohio, relieving the distressed inhabitants.Over one hundred buildings have been swept away at Parkersburg, West Virginia, and tho town of Belpre, opposite Parkersburg, is a mass of ruins.There are in Camdon, West Virginia, 300 destitute people, in Middleport 2,000, and an aggregate of 6,200 in other places in the same Stato.Milton and Hedgesville, [nd., are completely submerged, The people are encamped on the hills and many are suffering greatly, Other places ,in the same State are also in the same plight, Large amounts of provisions and money bave been raised to aid the sufferers.Congress has voted balf a million and large subscriptions are being made in the large cities East and West.Abbey\u2019s opera company devoted the proceeds of a concert at Cincinnati lo the relief of the sufferers of the flood, raising $7,641.Madme.Nilsson sang for an encore \u201cgive me a penny,\u201d and then pussed through the audience with a basket and collected nbout $1,400, The amount so fur allotted for the sufferers by the Secretary of War amounts to $350,000, The English House of Commous debated Sir Stafford Northcote's motion censuring the government's Egyptian policy, and W.T.Marriett, a liberal member for Brighton, made à violent attack upon the government, accusing it of vascilution and inconsistency.\u2014 He declared that the gevornment bad lost the confidence of the country and of the liberal

well-known Heiutzman and Emerson.The Heintzman Pianos are manufactured at Toronto, Uut., and are considered by competent judges \u2018 The Chickering of Canada.\u201d They are first-class in every respect.The Emereon Pianos are well and favorably known as being the best medium price Piano wade in the United States.also bandle other standard pianos ranging in price from $260 upwards.ORGANS.In thie class Letill keep in stock the Estey Organs.As regards superior tone, workmanship and durability, these instruments still take the lead, and the individual that owns one can say, * I own a good organ,\u201d My leading Canadian organs are the Geu- uine Bell, manufactured at Guelph, Ont, and the Dominion, manufactured at Bow- manville, Ont.These instruments have become very populgr wherever introduced, and are as good and reliable as any reed organ made in the United States.~Parties purchasing these organs, instead of the American, save 30 per cent duty.QNE WORD ABOUT PRICES AND BOGUS STOPS, There is a certain tascination about the fallacy known as \u2018\u2018cheapuness\u201d which deludes very mauy people In articles of luxury, as well as those of necessity, it is well always to bear in mind that cheapness in price almost inevitably means cheapness in quality.To advertise anything as cheap is iterally Lo stigmatize it gs worthless.Itis undeniable that the market js flooded with cheap organs that may be had at temptingly low prices.Unscrupulous makers apparently donot hesitate to put inferior instruments into flimsy but showy cases that they may offer enticingly large discount to agents.Theage of rumbug is uot past, and this 1s one ofthe most arrant humbugs of all.And another system of deception is being introduced by unreligble manufacturers and dealers, and is intended to deceive those who are not weil peated.I refer to the system of dividing and sub-dividing one full set of reeds into two or more sets or two into four or more, thus deceiving the purchaser and leading them to believe that they are buy- Ing an organ containing four or more sete of reeds, when in fact the instrument contains but two sets.And they also introduce a mulplicity of bogus stops which really have no value in tho organ.In all standard organs a set of 8 or vibrators extends throughout the key-board, and in all my catalogues they are so represented.Parties should buy their pianos and organs from some reliable dealer, ae the country is being flooded with chegp bogus instruments, .C.WiLsoN.Sherbrooke, Feb.6th, 1884.At a meoting of the citizens of Quebec, resolutions were

considerable part of the time wus occupied by Mr.Foater, of Kings, N.B.EL hud occasion to comment upon the speech of this gentioman last year, and ventured to employ some very complimentary language in relation to it.The estimate thon furm- od the speech of to-duy hus confirmed, aud I repeat that in a set speech there is no man in tho present parliament, net \u2018excepting the leader of the opposition, who in grace of diction, in wanner, in logical sequence in array and presentation of facts and figures, oxcels Mr.Foster.But be is not a do- bater, or, at least, he has nol ye exhibited, perhaps from lack ot opportunity.the qualities of & successful parliamentary debater, and until the opportunitiea which a longer experience in public will present are seized, it is rather as a sol spoaker that bis oratorial talents ure to be guaged.One characteristic he possesses in a pre-eminent degree is his breadth of view of a question.He enters upon its consideration, not in a wpirit of carping criticism, not with the pupose of seeking flaws in an opponent's argument, as the muinspring ot his study, not with a desice to discover material out of which to appeal to prejudices or antip- atbios or sordid side of his hearers.Lt is from the broad plano of Canada\u2019s welfare that he views a national question, und all considerations of exigency of purty advantage, of temporary personal character, are made subject to the vastly greater consideration of the people\u2019s interest.\u2014Cor.Montreal Gazette.The afternoon was occupied by Mr.Davie, of Prince Edward Island, an oxprovincial premier, who entered parliament last session, but although he spoke two hours he enunciated ab- -solutely not a single new idea, conducting himself throughout as a pavish politciun on the stump.\u2018Thore seems little likelihood ef the debate closing for many days yet.It will be continued on Friday when Mr.Curran is expected to speak on the question.The debstiog bas been fairly good, but by no meuns of a high order up to this time.Hon.«.essrs.Ross, Lynch, Taillon and Blanchet, of the Quobec government, arrived in the city to-day to present to the Dominion Goverment the injustice of the existing basis of the allowance to the provinces for the administration of justice, and to urge that as that portion of the Canadian Pacific Railway between Ottawa and Quebec had beon built by the province whilst fer the eastern section Ontario contributed nothing, a reasonable allowance should be made to Quebec for such expenditure upon a Dominion work.OTTAWA, Feb, 18.\u2014The proceedings in the House this afternoon were mainly of a routine charactor.The greater part of the time was occupied by Mr.Dupont, who urged un increase of subsidy to the Luke St.John Railway, and Mr.Cameroun, of Inverness, whe spoke in favor of additional aid being extended to the Nova Scotia railways forming part of the European Short Line route, Mr.Alonzo Wright also presented the claims and importance of the Gatineau Valley Railway.The reply of Sir Charles Tupper was of more thao ordinary significance, since it recognized that in the policy adopted during last session of subsidizing roads, the Dominion Parliament had taken upon itself the duty ot opening up and developing the resources of the country wherever the prospect of advantageous results was presented.Of lute years the provincigl treasuries have been too depleted to permit ot liberal practical assistance being given to vuilway enterprises, which tend so greatly to the advancement of the material interest of the people served by them, and there can be no question of the sound.pess of the policy of granting aid from the Dominion irrespective of more provincial consideration, when the state of the finances warrants its being done.A very interesting debate sprang up this evening on the motion to go into committee af the whole on Mr, Cum- eron's bill to amend the law of ovi- dence in criminal cases xo us lo pormit persons chaiged with misdemesnour to give evidence on their own behalf.The opposition to the meusure was most ably presented hy Messrs, Tup- per, of Pictou, Landry, of Kent, Bosse, Wood, of Rrockville, and Hon.Mr.Chapleau, the latter and Mr.Landry making their maiden speuches in tho Houge of Commons.Pre motion to go into committee on tho bill was carried: yeux 86, nays 81.The Herall reports tho existence here of a deop indignation against the Grand Trunk Railway because of the circulation of a pamplet containing correspondence botween Mr.Hickson and the Premier on the subject of the roposed loan to the Canadian Pacific.There is no such feeling.The protest of Mr.Hickson is regarded as one which might have properly buen gd- dressed to the government, but whose ublication is 8 mistaico.But there is indignation amongst a considerable section of adminsterialistn with the courso of the Herald, which poses us the special organ of the Pacific Railway Company, in heaping insults on the public men of Quebec, in delibar- ately misrepresenting the languuge of Atterney-Goneral Tallion, and in slandering the position of the province on the subject of better teyms from the Dominion, The Herald, by its course of abuse and misrepresentation of the Quebec ministry, has excited among members trom that province a feeling of resentment that bus unfortunately fallen upon the Canadian Pacitic Railway, because of the fast that ene of the directors of that company is understood te be the principal proprietor of that newspaper.Hon.Mr.Norquay, who is still in the city, in an interview with the gov- ernmont, has implemonted his former proposal by a proposition that Mani- tobu should receive an adjustment of the subsidy calculated on her altered popylgtion since confederation, getting the benotit of tho ditforence.He pro alro tbat tho ungiantod public lands and the school lands bo binded over 10 the provinco, which wonld as sume the cost of syrvey gnd would carry out all avrangements between the Dominion government and colonization companies where auch companies had commenced such part of the agreement.Mr.Wheeler will ask on Friday whother it is the intention of the guv- ernment

be struck out and the following inserted : \u201cFull information on the subject of the Canadian Pacific Railway has not yet been laid before the House, and the great bulk of the papers brought down

seaching enquiry, and ii is inexpedient that its discussion should at present be pressed furward in a way that would interfere with the ordinary course of the House and the rules regulating the conduct of public business and facilities for ebtaining the information required lo reach a sound decision.\u201d The amendment was put and lest on a division ; nays 107; yeas 51.Mr.Weldon moved, in

severity of the evening, was rewarded by a regulation temperance discourse, replete with most alarming statistics und one sided enough Lo con- verl a superucinl bearer.The only feature slisent from this feast of reason and flow ot cold water wad tho awful example, we therciore must rr ppose the lecturer depended on find.ag one roudy to hand, but was disappointed, us to the credit of Mugog be it spoken, we don't possess one.In order to counteract the depression occasioned by the subject of the lecture and doubtless with the benevolent intention of admin-tering a \u201chair of the dog,\u201d we were invited to un ontertuinment on the following evening in Carrier's Hall, entitled, \u201cWit, Humour and Hu- mourists.\u201d \u2018Phitier your humble scribe duly repaired, distressed at bav- ing forgotten the advice of Mr, Me- Murray to provide himself with a strip of strong Cotton to rerve us à compres sor lest the avalanche of wit should cause his premature and disastrous ex- plosien.The sequel, however, proved such .precautions were unnecessary.Mr.McMurray opened his entertainment by delivering in a very credita- blo munner, some cuttings from the back numbers of the comic papers.Then ho procecded to attribute some threadbare witticisms of Sydney Smith to Swift, whom he emphasised us Jonuthaa Swiit.Dean of St.Patrick's, Dublin, (ho might have added Europe).The portion ot the lecture devoted 10 Irish humor, did uot tend to enhance Jour correspoudent's opinion of bis computriols power of repartee.Some Scotch examples of wit tollowed, but being conveyed in, what was intended for tie dialest favored by Burns, their tragic or comic sigaificance waa doubtful.English camo next, and Mr.Mc- Murray feclingly askod his andience who had not the Martun Chiselhurst of Charles Dickens.Those who had not, appeared to be in the majority, nor is there any reason for supposing the lecturer himself had.But no doubt tho work is not much sought alter by the valgar berd, for it is ridiculous to suppose Mr.McMurray was ignorant of the true title of the book.Ameri- ~an humor was illustrated by an ance- Hote of more than doubtful delicacy, and brought a very dull and

twenty-nine and a haif duys, aud in called a lunar month, You can illustrate the moon's phases very well with 4 email white ball, in a room lit by one bright lamp, near one wide of the room.© If, stunding us fur away from tho lum p ue you conveniently can, you turn slowly round, holding out ut urm's length the bull suspeuded by u thread, or, better, placed on the end of un aprighl knitting{needle, you will nee the bull passinig through all the changes of the moon, exvepl, perhaps, one.When the bull, as you turn round, is farthest from the lump, your head.will probably be in the way of the lump's ruys, so that the ball will not be scen fully lit up, like the moon when she is opposite the sun, If the bull is on the end of a long koitting needle, however, you will ree it then like tho full moon.This little experiment illustrates another change which the moou some limes undergoes, When she in op posite the sun, sud would be usuully shining us a full moon, she sometimes seems to lose hor light on one ride.Gradually more and more is lost, until at lustaho cither Cisappeurs alloge ber, orshines ouly with a dull blood red or coppe:y red color, This is because, like the bull in your experiment, she comes into the shadows of the body round which sho is tuveling, Usually the moun, us rhe circles 1ound the eurth, pusses either above or below thin shadow, but sometimes she pisses right into it, She would then dirup- peur altogether (and sometimes she dues,) but the uir around our eafth, by bending the sun's ruys inwards towards the axis of the shadow, lights up the moun with the same rort of ruddy light which we receive Irom the sun ut sunset.For at that time it is only Le- cause Of Lhe air\u2019s action in bending his rays that we roe the sun al ull, So the sun still pours a ruddy light on the moon when she is immersed in the eurth\u2019s shudow\u2014at leust ho unually does.When the moon disappen.s ul- gether, | suppose it is becuse clouds prevent our wir
