The first thing I did that evening was to write a long letter to my aunt, asking for a reconciliation. I was so anxious to have her co-operation in my plans for Blanche that I did not mind any humiliation. I was will- ing to do anything, except marrying Sir Wilton Graham. So I told my aunt, if she would like to see me, I would run up to Lon- don and spend a day or two with her, in- tending to do so on our route to Paris. By return of post I received a long and most af- fectionate letter from. Mrs. Erlecote. She was only too pleased to take the offered olive branch, and agreed to welcome Lionel as her; nephew. . ‘ n- I,,.:, .._. ‘ -AL-..I Then I busied myself in selecting a School for Blanche. The only (liiiiculty was in choosing from so large a number of eligible establishments. I decided at length upon Mme. Duplin’s. She received but few boarders and those were all of high birth. I knew that Blanche would learn all those lit:- tle etiquettes of which she was ignorant. . LL_L T _...... ...... 1“...“ v , Once or twice it struck me that I was taking a. great deal upon myself, but then Blanche was married and mistress of her ac- tions. If my plans resulted in anything for her benefit, so much the better; she could but have gone mad or died if she had re- mained much longer shut up at Inglcdcw House. I cannot describe my aunt’s delight at sec- ing us. I took Blanche with me, and, with her full consent and permission, confided her lustory to Mrs. Erlccote. I need not my what; a. lively interest; it excited, the more so as Lady Douglas and Lord Curleon were both well known to her. “Marian,” said my aunt, “of all the strange stories I ever heard this is the strang- est.

Duplin. I have no need to give in detail the his- tory of those six months. They were spent bp .Lady Carleon in uninterrupted study. The result was more successful than even I had dared to hope. She was now an ex~ quisiteiy beautiful high-bred woman, whose every motion was replete with grace :uid har- mony. Her singing was unequaled. I was proud of her. Mrs. Er‘ecoto joined us, and we made our eagerly anticipated to‘ur. It ”AL- was, I believe, one long ecstasy to Blanche.

In the upper story of the maltdxouse was a malt-cleaning machine, from which the malt was taken through an iron shoot to wogguns below for distribution through the works.

It was, how- ever, ocmsionallv severely consned as being open to abuse, Thus, for instance, John Bunyan. in his “ Grace Abounding,” speak- ing of it, strongly condemns it. “ The common solution of women,” he says, "I abhor : it is odious tome in whomsoever I see it. \thn I have seen good men salute those women that they have visited. or that have visited them, Ihnvo made my object- ions against it: an! when they have nn~ swered it was but u piece of civility, I made my objections against it ; I told them that it was not a comely sight. Some indeed havenrged the‘holyfiiss ; but then I have ”.0- _.n-_. --.- ._-- asked them why they made balks; why they did salute the most handsome. and let the ill-favoured go 2’” In spite, however, of the censure poured on this old fashion by even consienctious mornlists of the time, there can be no doubt that it found favor in the eyes of most of the ladies of our own and other countries. It has been often remarked, with more or less truth, that there are few of the fair sex who are vin their inmost heart indifi’erent to the ad- miration paid to them in daily life, and who would regard with disfavoru kiss politely oll‘ered to them from some gullunt sweiu gnu...“ .V ........ .--_ whom, it may be, they have captivsted by their countless charms. History, we know, is daily repeating itself, and it is difiicult to believe that human nature is different now- a-days from what it was in years gone by, although the manners of society may have undflgono certain changes. it is easy to criticise in unmeasured terms the social usages of our predecessors ; but, after all, it must not be lorgotten that in the present age the same customs are often as popular as ever ; .the only difference being that,' in- stead othaving public recognition, they find a tacit acceptance. '1‘le POPULAR wot-IAN. The popular woman is seldom domestic, industrious, or devoted to any particular pursuit. She is therefore at liberty to en- joy the pleasures of the moment. Her zest in life is contagious. She is very easy- going and largely tolerant. Next to her animal spirits this indulgent temper is her greatest charm. \Ve feel at ease in her presence : there 13 no necessity to put one‘s ‘l 1y we can keep on our slippers and relax the backbone of our principles. Her indulgence ‘does not spring from the charity that ‘ “ knoweth no evil,” nor from the cynicism that believes in evil only, but from her knowledge of man and woxnankind. It is aknowledge not profound or subtle, but, such as it is it is varied and true. It has the advantage of being raken from nature ; it is not second-hand, nor derived from books or hearsay. This knowledge of hu- man nature, skin-deep though it may he, gives her the inestimablc talent of flattery. She makes no secret of being: dependent upon others for pleasure and entertainment. \thn in society she does not contribute any [lashes of wit to the conversation, any number of facts to the store of learning ; but there is the crispness of orginality in best foot forward ; intellectually and moral- . her remarks, a certain raeiuess of expression that gives piquaney to her phrases. A gift peculiar to her is a rapid appreciation of the wit of others ; a. power of seizing it and throwing a. gleam upon it that makes it‘ evident to duller brains. She is not sar- castic, and never on the heights. Slow- witted and commonplace folks do not fear her. She will not sear above the level of comprehension, and she will not dart those shafts of irony which they have an uncomfortable feeling their clever sisters occasionally level at them. Intellectual folk take pleasure in a companionship that is easy and not dull. It is an incontestible fact that people of intellect find relaxation ‘in the society of those who do not require ‘them to be always pumping their brains. They like gossip, and the popular woman is fond of gossip.

TOPICS FOR WOMEN. SALUTIX G “DIES. loc4-d9vrool Afew weeks ago Queen Victoria com- pleted the 63rd year of her age, wd has now gntereg npqg the fortyginh you of ,, A; -._L_ now entered upon the forty~si§th year of her reign. Since the Norman Con nest only eleven English sovereigns have ived that ' long, and but three have reigned that length . of time. Of the first. if we have it jotted , down correctly. were the two Henrys. two ‘ Edwards. one Elizabeth, one James, all the ' four Georgm and the Fourth \Villiam. The ‘ captain of one of the Queen‘s despateli boats 3 that ply between Osborne, in the Isle of “’ight, and Portsmouth, told me something ‘ about how Queen Victoria made love to Albert. As we all know, on June 20. lS37, “'illiam 1V. died, and England's QueenI who Was then a blushing maiden of ” sweet 16," ascended the throne. In diplomatic circles it had been arranged that she should marry Alexander, the brother of the King of the Netherlands. but at the critical mo- ment Prince Albert of Cobourg came in like a “dark horse” and won the heart of Eng- land’s Queen. 1!: was on the 14th of Octo- ber, 1839, that Lord Melbourne, then Prime Minister, was inforrred of the very import- ant. but none the less delieite fact, that her \Iajesty was in love. “'ith characteristic frankness she told him so herself. The day , following this acknowledgement the Prince 1 had an audience with the Queen, and then 3she told it to him herself! But why' and how? These two royal lovers were placed in a rather peculiar-position. Albert was to be wooed, Victoria was to be won ! The social position of the Queen was Ncry much superior to that of the Prince. He could not make the first advance, he could not of- fer the lady his hand. lle must have felt like a fool. The prize must strike her flag before being challenged. 'l‘he proposition was to be made, and the hand to be oll'cred to her. The diiliuult and unusual task was accomplished in a skilful manner. \Vith true womanly grace and a fascinating smile she hauled a. small bouquet of ilowors to the Prince, who placed them as near as possible to his heart. In that region of his close- fittin uniform he had no button-hole, but quick y taking out his knife the allant cut a slit and inserted the precious to 'en. Then after expressing his pleasure at having been so well received at the court of St. James, and dwelling with ill-concealed emotions upon his reception by the Queen, he turned to leave, when Victoria asked him the tell- tale question, “If the country pleases your highnes's so well, perhaps you would not object to remain with us ?” The Prince at once mounted to the occasion, and replied that it was the great desire of his life. The decisive moment for the Queen was at hand, . and quivering withpnaidenly reserve and womanly delicacy, she confessed with honest and childlike simplicity her great love for him. She assured the Prince that if he would make the sacrifice necessar to be- come the husband of the Queen of Lugland, that it would be the cause of her life-long happiness. Prince Albert, who had antici- pated all that was said, yielded uncondition- ally. ]t was purely a - love match, and . calumny . and intrigue never poisoned the ' sweetness of their wedded life. 110 did not, he could not, take part in the political ail'airs of the country; be was but the hus- band of Great Britain’s Queen, and his em- pire was the family circle, and his subjects were his children. Hindus do not hurry themselves in any- thing they do, but the monkeys have lots of time to spare and plenty of patience, and in the end, after the crew has stolen a little, and the dog had its morsel, and the children are all satisfied, the poor fragments of the meal are thrown out on the ground {or the blunder-logue, the monkey people:nnd it is soon discussedâ€"the 'mether leading the baby before she eats herself. When every house thus, in turn, has been visited, and no chance of further ”out-door relief" re- mains, the monkeys go all" to the well. The , women are all here again. drawing the water for the day, and the monkeys sit and wait, the old ones in the front, sententiuus and serious, and theyoungsters rolling about in the dust behind them, till at last some girls see the creatures waiting, and, ”in the girls see the creatures waiting, and, ”in the ‘ name of rain,” spill n. loth lull of water in ‘ a. hollow of the ground, and the monkeys ‘ work round it in a circle and stoop down and drink, with their tails all curled up over their backs like notes of interrogation. There is no contention or jostling. A for- ward child gets a box over the ear, perhaps, but each one, as it has satisfied its thirst, steps quietly out of the circle and wipes its mouth. The day thus fairly commenced. they go of! tosee what luck may bring them. The grain-keeper's shop tempts them to loitcr. but the experience of previous et- 1 tempts makes theft hopeless; for the ‘baunnya, with all his years, is very nimhle on his legs and an astonishingly good shot with a plpkin. So the monkeys make their sahmms to him and pass on to the fields. If the corn is ripe they can soon cut cuou vh for the day ; but if not, they go wem ering about picking up morsels. here an insect and there aberry, till the sun gets me hot, and then they creep up into the dark shade of the mango tops and snooze through the afternoon. In the evening they are hack in the village again to slmre its comforts and en- tertainments. They assist at the convoca- tion of the elders and the ramps of the chil- dren, looking on when the [aquir comes up to collect his little dues of salt. corn. and oil, and from him in their turn exacting a pious toll. They listen gravely to the vil- lage musician till the get sleepy. and then one by one they clam 'er up into the pecpul.

A correspondent of the London Specular says that the expression, “ Nine tailors make amanfi.’ has no sartorial reference at all. “From Queen Elizabeth, who is paid to have acknowledged an address from eighteen tailors by saying, ‘ Thanks. gentle- men both.’ to Carlyle, the saying has been mistaken.

Are no discoveries possible which should radically alter all the conditions of fighting, and either render war impossible or give certain victory to those who dare face such destructive machines? It is most im rob- able. The human race has been stu yin the art of war for four thousand years, an has discovered exceedingly little, except that an explosive in a confined space Will drive a miSsle a long way. They have learn- ed to throw stones scientifically. Since Agincourt, man has improved on the dis- covery of gunpowder, but has invented nothig absolutely original. For thirty years the most learned chemists, the most invent- ive mechanieiaus, the most scientificsoldiers, have devoted their minds to the subject, with a kind of fury of eagerness prompted at once by the love of fame, by triotism, and by the hope of rewards, whic l, to some of them, like Mr. Whitworth, Sir W. Arm- strong, and llerr Krupp, have been granted with a lavish hand, and they have discovered nothing. They have made bigger guns and better shells, and more explosive powder, and have devised clever ways of hue in shells out, but that isall. ‘ The way of if“ - Thus {gr 1882))” bong: an ygktorqinngy mun... u..-, ~.._ V iug soldiers is to fire little bullets tlirongh a small barrel ; the way of destroyin works is tofire big bullets through albig arm!â€" and that is all. New explosives have been discovered, \but no new way of throwing them the required distance. If ahi a over touched, or nearly touched, as in cleon'l time, we suppose a catapult might throw a barrel of nutrwglycerinu which, exploding downward, would annihilate the enemys vessel ; but the experiment has been tried. A ship which approached no close could ram; and such abarrel. notbeing driven by an ex- plosive, could be kept oil' by a wire net- ting. . ‘ The only two directions in which even dreamers can see a probability of much change are the use of electricity or the use of balloons, and of either, the prospect is very slight. We can do a great deal with the lightning, but we cannot throw it, nor is it easy to conceive how it could be darted exccpt through a conductor.
