How she danced with childish pleasure When her toys lay spread about, But a shade of disappointment Stole across her chubby face, And the merriment had vanished, To reflection giving place. ** What’s the matter ?” I inquired, Prow pt to ascertain the cause ; i Then she said with serious aspect, ‘* Pa, there aint no Santa Ciaus ! ‘*S'pose he did come down the chimney With the things upon his back, How could he get in the stovepipe ? Hiow could he pull throngh his sack ? “ And besides, I lay and listened, Just to hear if he would come ; When it wasn’t far from midnight Some one walked into the room— ‘** Came into the room like you would, But I didn’t “are to peep, Lay down quiet—kind of frightened— Made beheve I was asleep. ** So they came and filled the stockings, And I’m sure that there were two, For they whispered to each other— Sounded just like ma and you, **Though the things are nice and pretty, Still Pm av. ful sorry—'cause ‘Tisn’t Santa Claus that brings them— You and ma are Santa Claus.”’ Thus threugh life the old illusions Fade out slowly one by one; Are we happier or better When the last of them are gone ?

(Continued. ) Arthur’s shadow flitted rather faster among the sturdy oaks of the Chase than might have been expected from the shadow of a tired man on a warm afternoon, and it was scarcely four o'clock when he stood before the tall, narrow gate leading into the delicious labyrinthine wood which skirted one side of the Chase, and which was called Fir-tree Grove, not because the firs were many, but because they were few. It was a wood of beeches and limes, with here and there a light silyer-stemmed birch—just the sort of wood most haunted by the nymphs; you see their white, sunlit limba gleaming athwart the boughs, or peeping from behind the smooth-sweeping outline of a tall lime; you hear their soft, liquid laughter ; but if you Jook with a too curious, sacrilegious eye, they vanish bebind the silvery beeches, they make you believe that their voice was only a rtnning brooklet, perhaps they metamorphose themselves into a tawny squirrel that scampers away and mocks you from the topmast bough. Not a grove | with measured grass or rolled gravel for} you totread upon, but with narrow, hollow- | shaped, earthy paths, edged with faint | dashes of delicate moss—paths which look as if made by the free-will of the trees! and underwood, moving reverently aside to | nymphs. It was along the broadest of these paths avenue of limes and beeches. ple pathway and its edge of faintly-sprink- led moss; an afternoon in which destiny radiant veil, incloses us in warm downy breath. Arthur strolled along carelessly, with a book under bis arm, but not looking on the ground as meditative men are apt to do; his eyes :rowld tix themselves on the distant bend in the road, round which a little figure must surely appear before long. Ah! there she comes; first, a bright patch of color, like a tropic bird among the boughs; then a tripping figure,’ with a roun hat on, and a smali basket under her arm; then a deep-blushing, almost frighened, but bright smiling girl, making her court- Arthur came to her. it strange that he should have fluttered too, be conscious of blushing too—in fact, look and feel as foolish as if he had been taken by surprise instead of meeting just what he expected. Poor things! It was a pity they were not in that golden age of childhood when they would have stood face to face, eyeing each other with timid liking, then give each other a little butterfly kiss, and teddled off to play together. Arthur both would have slept without dreams, and to-morrow would have beena life hardly conscious of yesterday. _ Arthur turned round and walked by Hetty’s side without giving a reason. They were alone together for the first time. What an overpowering presence that first privacy is! He actually dared not look at this little buttermaker for the first minute ortwo. As for Hetty, her feet rested on a cloud, and she was borre along by warm zephyrs; she had forgotten her rose coloured ribbons; she was no more conscious of her limbs than if her childish soul had passed into a water-lily, resting on a liquid bed, and warmed by the midsummer sunbeams. lt may seem a contradiction, but Arthur \ PVERTISE in THE DAILY EXAML | _ wep wy ‘ " ; at WwW. : sony i in} .

I'm rather late to-day, because my aunt couldn’t spare me, but the regular time is four, because that gives us time before Miss Donnithorne’s bell rings.’ (To be continued.) —— His Grace Arecneisuor O Brien, of Halifax, was in Montreal on Wednesday iast as the guest of Rev. Father Dowd, of St. Patrick’s church, and said tea repre. sentative of the Montreai Star that the Baltimore conference, from which be was just returning, had diseussed the questions vf education, of the inspection uf parochial schools, of church discipline, and of divorcee, The full detaila would not be known until they bad been submitted to His Holiness, and in any case they would not bein any way biodwg on Canada, though the rules laid down might be adopt- ed here. The conference was simply for the States, and was more to attain a uni- form system than to inaugurate reforms. A pastoral letter had been issued and was read in the churches in the States last Suns day. The feeling had ben strong again-t divorce, as it always had been in the church. Qa being asked about the ramor- ed elevation of Bishop Fabre to be Arch- bishop, His Grace said he belived such an event wss very ; Osstbie in the near future, As the divcese had grown, it wes likcly to an archiepiscopal see, and it was only likely and fitting that the present Bishop should be elevated to the new dignity, With reyard to the B shop of Qu: bee being made Cardinal, it bad not been diene yet, and it wis hardly likely to be done at pre- sent, though it might happ n in the future.

Irish extremists denounce Davitt’s proposal as too tame and unprogre-sive, but moderate Parneilites generally agree with the tone of the work. A asbametp iepidihmmncilsn aii The Philadelphia Press says Richard Bracken, the saloon keeper, who, it is said, has recently been made a millionaire by the death of an uncle, has informed O’ Donovan Rossa that as soon as he receives the money he will donate $100,000 to the cause of Ireland, to be used in scientific warfare against England. Rossa is quite jubilant at the prospect thus suddenly opened for the exercise of his talents. He said: ** If we get that $100,000 we wiil knock a fall out of Eugland.”’ Bishop Medley on Friday last entered upon his eighty-first year.
