Mac; My friend Derriman and I, were `spending our summer "holidays `in a quiet little country village. Being a keen sherman most of my time was spent by the -riverside; my friend thought `shing anything but sport, so he wan- -dered about. as he told me. admiring the beauty of the scenery. The scenery I `afterward discovered was a certain Miss Morley. to whom he had brought an introduction. When he had known her for about ve days. he was thor- voughly convinced he was in love with her. and like other young men in sim- ilar conditions he was anxious to know his fate. He tried in vain to get her alone so that he could unburden his agitated mind. but circumstances,_ in ` the shape of her mother, were against him. 'Now. Dolly's mother. though anxious to see her daughter well mar-i rled. thought it improper to allow her to be alone with my handsome friend. If they went" into _the garden together, she went with them; if they sat down on a seat. she sat down beside them; it they wandered by the river in the moonlight. she would take poor George s arm. n l 7\__._.:_____ |___._ 4.I_l..

' ` The Pitt `Diamond. , V While Pitt. the grandfather of Lord Chatharn, was governor of Fort St. George in 1098 he became acquainted wvith a jewel -merchant named Jam~ chund. who brought a diamond of great size for sale. He asked 30,000 for it in the rough. It should. of course. `have been bought on behalf of the company. but Pitt. seeing moneyin it. could not resist the temptation of making a pri- vate bargain. He became the possessor of the stone for _the sum of 20,400. and he was quite satised that he had be- haved honorably when he paid the man. who on his part was also content. But the diamond was known to be. . worth more than Jamchund had receiv- ed. and thetransaction gave rise to a good deal of gossip. which in no way` decreased" when later on Pltthad the stone cut in England and sold it to the `regent of France for 135.000. Even that enormous sum did not represent its true value. The stone was set in the royal crown of France. and it is valued in the present day close upon half` a million sterling. It weighed 410 carats in tberough, but the cutting reduced it ` to 136 carats. --Mrs. Penney s Fort St. George, Madras. ' ` Iceberg Deslgnn.
