What is success, that glittering priz: For which we rush with eager eves, And beating hezrts? I ask of thee, brave soldier; can’st thou apswer me? I mark the ribbon on thy breast.

Thy jeweled stars and honored cres: Lhe people of thy glories sing,

Then turned I to a miser old,

And questioned him; is all this gold I see thee kiss with greedy tears, ‘The sweet reward of many years Of misery and silent pain,

A livingsacrifice to gain—

I cried, and I will mark the well. Within this quiet lone retreat, Beyond the bold intruder’s feet. Iiath solitude thy study blest,

And made thee wiser than the rest ” Fair youth, he cried this wilderness And empty cot is my success.

Go back into the world again,

And mingle with its joys and pain ; Let notambition mock thy soul With any distant earthly goal. Seek pot succes; ifthou be true

CHAPTER XXV.

Philip Stanburne’s first afternoon with | the four young ladies was rather embarras~ sing both for him and for them. It is not easy to keep up conversation with a set of girls that are always letting it drop. When men let conversation drop we feel no em- barrassment. We read our newspaper or puft our tobacco in silence, and leare our | taciturn companions to ruminate in peace.

We are not responsible for their pleasures

and we are not in any way obligated to keep them amused. Buta man finds himself in la very different position when surrounded | by non-conversational young ‘women. | Every time that they look dull he feels that it is his fault, that itis a proof of his in- competence—of his unfitness for feminine society—of his ignorance of the art of

uneasy sense that he was a failure; but we | have seen men of far more brilliant con-

girls. It is mot every man that can con-

sors do at Sorbonne; and if he could, that is not the kind of talk that would suit in a drawing room.

been made from her. She was tolerably,

that is perhaps as much as can be said for her heart; she was perfectly clear headed,

dicted of her intellect.

The second sister, two years younger, had more of the sanguine temperament of her her father. His hair, which was red, was inherited by his daughter Sarah in the modified hue of auburn, She had his blue eyes, too, and much of his energy and dex cision. The youngest was a girl of fifteen, more decidedly pretty than either of the others. In her the two temperaments had been almost equally balanced; the hair was brown, the eyes were grey, snd the gene-~ ral physical development, if it did not promise the fine stature of Margaret, or the fulness of the other, gave hopes of a more perfect form.

Alice Stedman was utterly different from her friends.

Her face was generally pale,and her com~ plexion exqnisitely clear and transparent, so that when she blushed the color showed itself at once, from the faintest imaginable rose-tint. ‘I wish I were a negro woman, thought poor Alice many atime, ‘for then nobody could tell when I was blushing—it

I wish I had a black skin.’ Other people

She had a way of looking up from her work when she was spoken to,and pausing, and then suddenly looking dewn again, which for some unaccountable reason seemed t > Philip the prettiest possible ex~ pression of attention, ‘I should like to make her look up at mein that way,’ he thought.

and had gone xs usual to hie bedroom,— ‘the Cevil take the peeple, they've hiddes all my things,’

Just then came a gentle rap at the door and the servant-maid entered, ‘Please sir, your mother’s come, and she says you are not to sleep bere any more, sir; and she’s fetched your things over to Mr. Wood's, the shoemaker,’

It is at all times vexatious and humiliat~ ing to the independent spirit of man to be disposed off by jewale authority, but it is more especially so when the autherity is one’s mamma. A grown up man will sub. mrt to his mother en most points if he is worth anything, but the best of sons does not like to see his submission absolutely | iaken for granted. In this case there was

an ageravation in the look of the servant zirl, Notwithstanding the respectful mod~ esty of her tone, there was just a twinkle of satire inher eye. It was plain that she | was inwardly laughing at the lieutenant. ‘Damn it, he said,‘ this heuse is good enough for me; I don’t want to leave it.’ Yet he did leave, nevertheless.

COMPLIMENTARY “NOTICE.

Phe Athenacun, published by the pupils ; ef Acadia College, has the followiag coms plimentary noticeof Mr. Fletcher's lecture, . Six Weeks on Wheels’ :—

ibe second lecture of the season, * Six | Weeks on Wheels,’ ty Mr. Fleteher, of the Islund Argus, was one which made use all feel that it was good te be there. We ways feel in a good humor when we think | of it: a little ripple from the great wave of merriment that swept over us comes pure ling back til it breaks in a satisfied smile

} over Our thoughtful visage. As s0en as

the lecturer commenced to speak, we felt ' that we could lean back and enjoy eurs selves, And we were not mistaken. From the time when we stepped with him eut of the editoria! sanctum in P. E. 1., till he brought us to the busy marts of San Francisco in the Golden State, we knew what it was to be im jovial company, and in profitable company withal. Wit, good- uumor, practical philosophy, picturesque

seid | descriptions, those were the wheels on | which he hurried us across the continent,

and a very pleasant ride we had. His pictures of prairie and mountain scenery were striking and interesting; his sketches of California and its customs and manners, were instructive; but his story of the rise and progress of a western town was simply overwhelming, and carried the audience away bevond ali the bounds of sobriety on a creat flood ef joviality. We think we have never before, fn Wolfville, seen an audi¢nce so thoroughly abandoned te in- controllable laughter. We believe we gained a pound of flesh over some of the jokes which the genial editor perpetrated. it were idle to add that we went back to ous studies that night refreshed and re-~

‘ But if you know the ving woman in Sootythorn.’
