t | is on accourt of your old bachelorish igno-

jrance of womankind. There are married

| men who no more dare sit an hour with a | cigar when their wives are gone to bed than | play billiards on Sunday, Now, for instance [ was staying this autumn witha friend of mine in another county, and about ten o'clock his wife went to bed. He and | wanted to talk over a- great many things,

together when we were bachelors, and we knew lots of men that his wife knew nothing about, and each of us wanted to hear all the news that the cther had to tell; so he just ventured the first night I was there, to ask me into the private study and offer me a cigar. Well, we had scarcely had time to light when his wife’s maid knocks at the door and says: ‘ Please sir, missis wants to see you,’ so he promised to go, and began to look uncomfortable, and in five minutes the girl came back again, and she came three times in a quarter of an hour, After that came the lady herself, quite angry, and ordered her busband to bed, just as if he had been a little boy; and slihough be seemed cool, and didn’t stir from his chair, it was evident that he was afraid of her, and he solemnly promised to go in five minutes, I consider the woman was rude to me, by George !—for you know it wasn’t exactly polite of the woman to do that witnout a word of apology to me—but she was far too angry to do that; and indeed 1 expected that she would order me to bed too—l did. At the expiration of five minu, tes in she buvst again (she had been wait~ ing in the passage—perhaps she may have veen listening at the door) and held out her watch witLout one word. The husband got up like a sheep and said ‘Good night, Jobn ;’ and she led him away just like that; and 1 sat and smoked by myself, thinking what a pitiable spectacle it was. Now my wife aint like that; she will have her own way cbout the blankets, but she is reason.

’

able in other respects, She is fast asleep by this time; she’sa topper to sleep, she is—she’ll sleep the clock round ; and when I go to bed she just asks what time it is, ; 80 I always say, ‘ Eleven o’clock, dear,’ and it’s all right. She believes I go to bed regularly at eleven.’

They sat very happily for two hours, talks ing about the resignment that was to be. Suddenly, about midnight, a large watch- dog that inhabited a kennel on that side of the house began to bark furiously, and there was a cry, as of some Woman or child in distress. The Colonel jumped out of his chair and threw the window open, The two men /istened attentively, but it was too dark to see anything. At length Colonel Stanburne said, ‘ Let us go out and look about a little—that was a human cry wasn’t it? So he lighted a lantern and they went, There was a thick wood behind the house of Wenderholme, and this wood filled a narrow iavine, in the bottom of which was a little stream, and by the stream a paths way that led to the open moor. This moor continued without interruption over arange of lofty hills, or, to speak more strictly, over asort of plateau or table land, till it terminated at the enclosed pasture lands near Shayton. Stanburne and the doctor waiked fist along tuis pathway.

out of his kennel, much excited with the hope of a temporary release from the irks somness of his captivity; but his master only carressed and spoke to him and pass- ed on. tor. ears of the third peison, who came out of the wood and began to follow him on the path.

‘Ibe doctor became aware that they were followed, and they stopped. The Colonel turned his lantern, and the light of it fel! full upon the intruder,

‘ Why, it’s a mere child,’ said the Colonel. ‘ But what on earth’s the matter with the doctor ?’

Certainly that eccentric doctor did be- have ina most remarkable manner. He snatched the lantern ‘rom the Colonel without one word of apology, and having cast its beams on the child’s face, threw it down on the ground, and seized the vagrant in his arms. ‘ The doctor’s mad,’ thought the Colonei, as he picked up the lantern.

‘ Why, it’s little Jacob ?’ cried Dr, Bard~ ly.

But this conveyed nothing’to the mind of the colonel. What did he know about little Jacob ?

Meanwhile the Jad was telling his tale to his friend. Father had beaten him so,and he’d run away. ‘Please, doctor, don't send me back again. The child’s feet were bare, and icy cold, and covered with blood. His clothes were wet up to the waist, His little dog was with him.

‘It’s a little boy that’sa most particular friend of mine,’ said the doctor; ‘ and he’s been very ill-used. We must take care of him. I must beg a night’s lodging for him in the house.’

They took him into the Colonel’s study before the glowing fire. ‘ Now, what’s to be done, said the Colonel, ‘1(’s lucky you're a doctor.’

‘Let us urdress him and warm him first. We can do everything ourseives. There is a most urgent reason why no domestic should be informed of his being here, His existence here must be kept secret.

The Colonel went to his dressing room and brought towels. Then he set some water on the fire in a kettle. The doctor took the wet things cff and examined the poor little lacerated feet. He rubbed little Jacob ali over with the towels most ener- getically. The Colonel, whose activity was admirable to witness, fetched a tub from somewhere, and. they made arrangements for a warm bath. -

‘One verson must be told about this,’ said doctor Pardly, ‘and that’s Lady He'ena. Goand tell her now. Ask her to get up and come kere and warn her not to rouse any ef tlie servants.’ m Her Ladyship made her appearance a few minutes after in adressing gown, ‘ Lady Helena,’ said the doctor, ‘we have work for

care for the next twenty-four hours, and | you must do everything for him with your /own hands, Is there a piace in the house | where he can be lodged out of the wey of | the servants ?? } Lady Helena bad no boys of her own. one little girl at the begins ning of her married life, who had lived,and ; Was now at Wenderholme, comfortably | sleeping in the prettiest of little beds, in a large and healthy nursery in the~left wing of the building. She had had two little boys since, but they were both sleeping in Wenderholme churchyard, When she saw little Jacob in the tub the tears came into her eyes, and she was ready to be his nurse as long as ever he had a need of her,

‘Ill tell you allabout him when we've put him to bed, Lady Helena.’

Little Jacob sat in the tub looking at the kind, strange lady, and feeling himself in a state of unrealizable bliss. “You must be very tired and hungry, my dear,’ she said. Little Jacob said he was very hungry, but he didn’t feel tired now. He had felt tired in the wood but he did not feel tired now in the tub. He looked very nice and very fanny in that primitive position ; and when it had been egreed that he had been suffi- ciently tubbed, and he stood on the hearth- rag like cupid out of a picture,Lady Helena tuought she had never seen anything so beautiful.

Her ladyship was as busy and as kind as she could be. She ordered the Colonel about, and told him where to find the ma- terials for a supper. ‘But what on earth are we to do for clothes!’ said the colonel ; and he looked exceedingly perplexed. He went and opened some old wardrobes, and

blue cloth, resplendent with many buttons ; and they aired this before the fire,and in+ vested little Jacob therewith, who began to

time he had counted them all his supper was ready; and considering that his appe- tite, which on ordinary occasions was by no means a feeble one, had been sharpened by six hours’ wandering on the moor, it will readily be imagined that he did justice to that supper. In fact, the doctor had to stop him; for after eating two immense platefuls of cold beef, he actually asked a third time for pie. Keorach, his dog, distinguished herself as a beef-eater.

There was a sanctum of the Colonel's in a very out of the way part of the house, whither it was his custom to retreat occa~ sionally into the utmost possible privacy. There was a theory that when John Stan- burne locked himself up in this room he was Occupied in matters of business and was not to be disturbed; but, if the truth must be told, he retreated here to indulge in a habit he had acquired in Spain, that of sleeping in the middle of the day, He did not sleep long—half an hour was all he wanted ; but that half hour he must have and if he did not get it he was good for no~ thing during the remainder of the day.

of all kinds, and bad therefore chosen this retreat as far as possible from habitation. It was the last series of apartments that are hardly ever used, and which had been ar» ranged for a former dowager. The present dowager, John Stanburne’s mother, had preferred a separate house; and & nice little house had been built for her, about a mile or a mi'e and a quarter from the Hall, on asite which had been chosen for its great natural beauty.

In the said sanctum there was a very comfortable couch or divan, on which the Colonel took his daily siesta. He had ac- quired another taste on the Continent—he

where,

in,’ said the Colonel, ‘is my sanctum, of course, Nobody goes there, and the room is perfectly aired; there is always a fire.’

The little party went up stairs to this

there the doctor exclaimed, ‘You said there was a fire doctor, and there ain’t even a grate— nothing but a heap of white ashes, But the room ain’t cold, though.’

The Colonel knelt down and began to take the ashes from the heap. ‘I covered this fire when I went to Sootyhorn this

doctor gazed with much astonishment. He

‘believed that oxygen was necessary to keep

moved the ashes, there were embers which immediately began to glow. The fire- maker added a couple of fresh logs, and in a minute there was a bright, merry flame. ‘You are a clever fellow, Colonel,’ said the doctor.

‘Possibly, my dear doctor, but not clever enough to invent that dodge. The first in. ventor of that was some poor woman, cen- turies ago, who was too lazy to light her tire every morning, and had neither servant nor wood to keep it alive during her absence in the daytime. Soshe found out the use of ashes, which don’t extinguish, but pre. vent wasteful combustion. It was not a rich person who found that out rely upon it.’

Her ladyship fetched blankets and sheets, and the gentlemen went downstairs aggin. ‘What is your name, my child?’ said Lady Helena.

‘ Little Jacob.’

‘ But your other name ?’

‘ Ogden.’

His name, therefore, was Jacob Ogden— not aristocratic, decidedly,

‘ Where do you live?’

‘Twistle Farm.’

‘ And where is Twistle Farm?’

‘Near Skayton.

youasanurse, This child requires great

ONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 18

Little Jacob being fairly put to bed, female curiosity could not wait any longer, and she sought out the doctor, who was yet with the Colonel in the study, ‘I beg to be excused gentlemen,’ she said, ‘for intrud. ing in this room in the most unauthorized manner, but I want to know all about that little boy.’

The doctor told his history very minutely and the history of his father. [hen he added, ‘I believe the only possible chance of saving his father from killing himself with drink is to leave him for some time under the impression that the boy, having been driven away by his cruelty, has died from exposure on the moor. This may give him a horror of drinking, and may ef-s fect a permanent cure. There is another thing to be considered—the child’s own safety. If we send him back to his father, I will not answer for his life. The father is already in a state of irritability bordering on insanity—in fact, he is partially insane , and if the child is put under his power, be- fore there has been time to work a thorough cure, it*is likely that he will beat him {re- quently and xeverely—he may even kill him in some paroxysm of rage. If Isaac Ogden knew that the child were her, and claimed him to-morrow, I believe it would be your duty not to give him up, and I should urge his uncle to institute legal preceedings to deprive the father of the guardianship. A man in Isaac Ogden’s state is not fit to have achild in his power, He has beaten him very terribly already—his body is all bruis» es; and now if we send him back he will beat him again for having run away,’

These reasons certainly had great weight, but the Colonel and Lady Helena foresaw

would make a noise, not only at Shayton but at Sootyborn, and everywhere in the neighborhood. The relations of the child

CHAPTER XI,

The doctor had decided to hide Jacob at Nanny Pickering’s cottage ; and so the next

Colonel harnessed a fast trotting mare, and little Jacob and his dog were put under the apron. They reached Nanny Pickering’s at four o’clock in the morning. She was under the impression that the longslooked for robbers had at length arrived to take away her hidden treasure, and she refused to unbar the door. At length the familiar voice of Dr, Bardly became audible to her and she let himin. The cottage consisted of two rooms, and little Jacob was lodged in the farthest end from the entrance. Here hedid not get the luxuries of Wender- holme, and was perbaps at first somewhat unpleasantly impressed by the evident

ness the reader pitied as much as the Dr. did, continued his researches in a hopeless, discouraged, and desultory way, and one

hiding-place as actually to call at Nanny Pickering’s cottage. Nanny was at home, and received Mr. Ogden, for whose visit

sions of apparently heartfelt sympathy for

his loss; whilst little Jacob, who quite

plainly heard his father’s voice through the

thin wooden partition, sat in fear and tremb-

ling, but in perfect silence, for which he

had been educated by many less serious

games of hide-and-seek. Feorach, though

her powers of loving were very considerable,

bad fortunately concentrated them all on

her young master; and though she was

perfectly aware of Mr. Ogden’s presence in

the house, it was not difficult to keep her quiet, Indeed it was not in Mr. Ogden’s

nature to encourage the demonstration of little dogs; and Feorach hed learned, by the experience of many unpleasant kick: and hard words, that her attentions were not appreciated by him.

- A more welcome visitor was Mrs. Ogden, who had been admitted into the secret by

the doctor, and who had hitherto approved ot his policy of concealment. It pained her to see her son Isaac in the misery of a be - reavement which he supposed to be eternal ; but the bright hope, which bis present con~« duct quite fully justified, that this tempor- acy sorrow and suffering might save him from a doom which had else been inevitable encouraged Mrs, Ogden to persevere in the course which the doctor still urgently re» commended, ‘ We aren’t sure of having saved him yet,’ said Dr. Bardly; ‘ we must persevere till his constitution has got past the point of craving for strong drink alto-

TERRIBLE DEATH,

A MAN LITERALLY BROKEN TO PiHCES

From the Otiawa “ime.

been our lot to chronicle, occurred yesters day morning at about eight o'clock, in one of the saw mills of Mr, Booth, at the Chau- diere,

At eighto’clock a young man of the name of Joseph Cusick, ascended from thie lower flat to the stone mill for the purpose of planing a piece of wood. There was only another man present st the en‘rance of Cusick, one Frencis Jollette,who is in charge of that particular depariment. Jollette was in the act of essaying to fix the belt of the stone which had slipped off on to the pulley of the shaft, and as he found some difficulty in accomplishing his purpose, Cus~ sick at once went to his assistance. Both of the men used sticks, as the shafting on which they required to replace the belt was high above the’r heads» They succeed.« ed for a moment in getting the belt fixed, but it slipped off again, and as Cusick was throwing off his guard, slipped and became entangled in the belt, how is not exactly known as the eyes of his companion were fixed on the shafting, which was revolving at the rate of two hundred and fifty revo» lutions per minute at the time. With in- conceivable velocity the unfortunate Cusick was taken upwards by the cruel belt and struck with terrible force against.the ceil~ ing, where he was literally broken into pieces, and the fragments of his body flung to different parts of the building. In a moment the floor and ceiling were covered with blood and pieces of flesh, which pre»

How To Appress Hia,—Under what style and title should a sovereign address thechief magistrate of arepublic? In writ- ing to the President of the United States Her Majesty makes use of the dreadfully patronizing formula of ‘ My good friend.’ The Duke of Rutland employed some simi- lar phrases when he ‘ssued a proclamation to the farm laborers on his estates. Kasier William, in congratulating General Grant on the American centenary, writes: ‘Great and good friend,’ which strikes one as at least better than the British formula, The Emperor Francis Joseph begins his letter with ‘Honorable and dear friend,’ while the Czar simp!y sayr, ‘M. le President.’ The Czar perhaps shows the best taste of ali, for the other monarchs, by using an out-of-the-way form of address, seem to show that they thought of beginning with ‘My brother,’ but on reflection decided that they could not quite, and so hit ona compromise. The question is a serious one and might worthily engage the great mind of Lord Baconsfield.—Vanily Fai.

The death of the famous athlete, Dr. Geo, B. Winship, at the age of forty-two years, will go far to shake the belief that | violent muscular exercise is necessary or strongly conducive to health and long life. The enormous strain to which he subjecied his physical nature is believed to have shortened his life.
