Having read somswhere that the best hooling one could have who aepirsd to terary fame.wM the writing of descriptive matter, I have undertaken to give a* near- r exact an account as I can of a yeurg irl's debut as a piano soloist. "Are yon aware you have U> play to- orn.w at the recital?" wa* the question asked of me by my teacher one Fri Jay as I nished my lesson. "To-morrow ! ' I ex- laimed. "Why ! had you forgotten ?" liiss. C asked this with a rm!e, and in he coolest manner possible ; jua* as if 1 iadn't broken out into a oold perspiration ,t the very thought of playing at a recital without having practised tn* piece at least wenty-flve times par dy for a week be- re, (flnndaya exeepted of oenreo) and con- aquently inspiring the neighborhood with the firm beael that I wae capable of playing ly one piece, and played it at. every op- jormmty oitsrwd. However, I made up'.for lost time the fol- owing mornin**. I plunged into that pise* of with an earnennses soil diligence tali and kill yourself aa quickly .lease, without asking any onei . do that now too, and probably shall. I have quite made up my mind to tide Saracen to-morrow "Then the soonar you unmake that mind the better." "Well," turning upon him though . fully prepared to cnih him with her coming and bring you home to Chetwoode, and yet , apeeoh, " if I don't rid* him I shall stay Oh, Cyril !" suddenly flinging herself | al , altogether : there !" his longing armi, " it is all r.ght at lt, my dear dear dear, and you n ay love me again as much a* ever you Ilk* !" When explanations have come to an end, and they are somewhat calmer, Cyril say*, Hut Ii >w is it that you are here with (iuy, nd going to Chetwoode ?" " 1 am it tying at Chetwoode. Your mother cam* herself, and brought me luck ' with her. How kind ihe ia, liow sweet ! j Kveu had I never known you, I should Dave loved her dearly." This last assurance from the lips o' his beloved makes up th* sum of Cyril'* con- tent. "Tell me more, iweeitheart," he says, contented only lo liittn. With hi* arm* round her, with her face so clow lo I. is, with both their hearts beating in happy mi son, he hirdly carei to question, but u I think that will be by far the wissr plan uf the two," returns he, coolly. What ! and Icee all my day '" cries Lil- ian, overwhelmed hy the atrocity of this remark, "while you and all the other* go and enjoy yourselves I How hatefully ssl- ti*h you can be ! But I won't be tyrannize.! over' in this fashion. I *hall go, and on Saracen, too." " You shall not," Srmly. MKI Thesney has como close up to where h* i* standing oo the hearth-rag. The fire- light dances and crackles merrily, casting its rays no* yellow, now deep crimson, over their angry faces, * though drawing keen tnjoy.-nent from the doadly duel gouig oo ao near te it.

Your side, my lamb T" Yes, it is my side," lays Lilian layini her hai.il pathetically upon her heart ; and then overcome by the weight of her own sorrow, she buries her head in her pillows and hunt* into tears. " Kh, hiiiny don't cry," lays none, fondly, wo must all have pains there at tines, an we must try to learn to bear them as best ws may. Come, look up, my bairn I will pu on a good sanstard (Mister to-night, and to morrow I Ull you they won't magnify at all,' winds up nurss, fluently, who rather pt id. herself upon her management of th ; Queen' Knelish, and would soorn at the misplace ment of a word here and there ; and indeed after all, when one come* to think r-'. it, i does not " magnify" very much.
