But | although they had coared the creepers to | cover the red bricks, and wreathe the doors and windows, Nelly always maintained that it was not so charming a place as the little vineâ€"covered cottoge where she was born. The cottage was still standiag, she could see it from her father‘s hallâ€"dvor. Ard she had ouly to eross two fields and an orchard i when she wanted to visit the dear old man i and woman who had sheitered her in her | childhood. "I don‘t like the book," Nelly repeated after a pause. â€" "The writer seems to have strange ideas. â€" The heroâ€"a very poor hero â€"is false to the heroine. â€" After getting enâ€" gaged to her, he discovers that he can never love her as he loves another girl ; avd of course she releases him from the engogement wken she finds out the truth. But instead of representing him as the fellow that he was, the author presis‘s in showing us that he became a good husâ€" band and father. He bogins his career by Aimâ€"inâ€"arm they walked through the sweet grass, keeping under the shadow of the hedges and trees. _ Mrs. Channell waited for the girl to speak again. Mrs. Channell was the only mother that Nelly had ever known. Her father‘s seeâ€" ond wife had brought up his daughter from babyâ€"hood, while Mr. Channell was away in & foreign land. It seemed to Nelly the best and most natural thing in the world that her fathet should marry the woman who had cared for herfrom her earliest years. The relations between her stepâ€"mother and herself were simply such as they had always been. Only she had taken up the habit of calling her "mamma," instead of "Rhoda." "Why didn‘t you let me take it mamma?" the girl asked. "I think you oug‘:t to use these idle hands of mine, if you want to keep them on of mischief." "I gave you a book t3 read this morning," Mrs. Channell replied, "Yos, I have read it, and don‘t like it," said candid Nelly, stepping back to lay the volume on the hall table. "I will walk with you to the cottage, and we can talk it over." On this morning she carried a book out of doors and had read it from beginâ€" ning to end. It was a book that had been recomimended to her by Mrs. Channell. Nelly had a great roverence for her stepâ€" mother‘s opinion ; but the story had not pleased her at all. It was directly opposite to all her notions of right and wrong. She even went so faras to say to herself that it ought never to have been written. Nelly was a girl who gonerally spoke her mind ;â€"a little bluntely so.netimes, but always with that natural earnestness which maukes one forgive the bluntness. As the distant clock struck twelve, and the stableâ€"elock repeated the strukes, she turned ard wont into the house. ther," she explained. "I have been makâ€" ing a new eap for herâ€"look, Nelly." She lifted the basket lid and afforded Nell a glimpse of the soft lace and lilac ribâ€" bons. Nelly Chanell was not sorry that the morning was over,. â€" Like most people who kave a groat deal of time on their hands, she was often puzzied about the disposal of it. When she had deligently practised on the piano indoors, and had paid a visit to the liitle stepâ€"brother and sister in the nursery, there was nothing more to be done. She use! sometimes to eay that this part of her life was like an isthmus, connecting the two contineuts of schoolâ€" girlhood and womanhood. On the threshoid of the house stood Mrs. Channell with a light basket on her arm. "I am coing to the cottaze to see inoâ€" The little village soemed to lie asleep in the August suoshine. From the upland where she stood Nelly could see the colâ€" ummns of pale smoke going up from the cottrage chimneys, but nobody was astir in the gardens. It was noon. Scearcely a fluke of cloud relioved tho intense blue overhead ; not a breath of wind fanned the thick leafage in the copse behind her.

She his career by | fell into the habit of comparing him with But before a month had passed by Mr. Chanmell and the curate had found out that they were of one mind. The newâ€" comer did not want to upset any of the old plans, but he showed himsel{capable of imnâ€" proving them. He was no shallow boy inâ€" flated with vast notions of his own selfâ€" importance ; but a thoughtful, active man, whose wisdom and experience were far beyond his years. And Robert liked Morgan Foster all the better because hs was the son of poor pareuts, and had worked hard all his days, first as a gramâ€" merâ€"school boy, and then as a sizar at Cambridge. s "HMe used to say he was quite alone in the world," she answered. "His house was next to our school, and the gardens joined ; that was how I came to see so much of him. No one ever went to stay with him, and he seldom had even & cal ler." In the golden harvest time, just after they had cclebruted Nelly‘s niveteenth birthday, a new face appeared in Huutsâ€" dean, and a new influenca began io work among the villagers. . The reetor who Rad grown old and feeble, was at last induced to secure the services of a curate. And Robert Channel}, having been a good friend to the people for many a day, felt almost disposed to look jealously upon the stranâ€" ger. Itmight have beeu that Robert Channel! thonglt too rmauch of what the husband should be to the wile, and too litile of what the wife is to tho husband. Tuere are moments in the life of the strougest men when only the touch of a woeman‘ hand has kept them from turnirg into the wrong road,. But it is not easy for a father, anxious for the safety of his girl‘s future, to think of anything beyond her reâ€" ‘ quirements. Nelly was a prize ; and Mr. Channell could but daily pray that she might not be won by one who was unâ€" worthy of her. It was generally known throughout the cottmty that Nelly was the dauglter of a rich man. _ She was very pretty too, although not so beautiful as hermother had had been; and at nineteen she was not withâ€" out wouldâ€"be suitors and admirers. But nct one ofthese was a man after Robert Chanâ€" nell‘s owit heart. ‘They were hunting and sporting country gentlemen; whto talked of dogs and horses all day long. _ He wanted a man of another stamp for Nelly. â€" H« did not care about long pedigrees, ner dic he hanker aftor ancestrial lands. He desir»> for his childa husband who would guide a young wife as bravely up the hill of Saecri fice as over the plain called Ease. "I wish he had left the money to a poorâ€" er girl," remarked Mr. Channell. _ "Weli, Nelly, you will now have a hundred and fifty pounds a year to do as you like with. I hope you‘ll spend it wisely, my dear." "I hope no one is defrauded by this legacy," he said gravely.â€" "You will have quite enough without it, Nelly. â€" Had Mr. Muyrtle any relations 2" Mr. Channell read the letter in silgnce. And then he looked up quickly into his dauzhter‘s face, and nut Ins hand on hors. "Who is your new â€" correspondent, Nelly?" he asked. "This is something different from the youngâ€"ladvish epistles you aro in the habit of receiving, isn‘t it ?" "Tond it, father," she cried. _ "Old Mr. Myrtle 1s dead, and has left me three thouâ€" sind pounds! _ You remember how he made a pet of me in my schoolâ€"days ?" "I don‘t know the writing," she said. Opening it carelessly. But in the nest minute she hastily laid it before him. When she entered the broakfast room her father was already seated at tha table looking over Iisletters. He held up one addressed in a legalâ€"looking hand, to Miss Helen Channell. The book was talked of no more that day ; and for many a day afterwards it stood neglected on Mrs. Channell‘s sheives. Nelly had forgotten it after a night‘s sleep, and the next morning‘s post brought her & surprise. Mrs. Channell thought within herself that the young often believe themselves a thousand times harderâ€"hearted than they are. Those who feel the bitterest wrath when they think of an injury that has never come to them are the most patient and imercifulwhen they actually meet it face to face. But she did not say this to Nelly. "He didn‘t deserve to be happy!" cried Nelly, "He ouglt to have been sure of himself before he proposed to Alice. If I had been in Alice‘s place I would have let him depart, but not with a blessing ! _ She took it far too tamely. I would have let him see that I despised him." "Lewis Moore was not a treacherous man," said Mrs. Channell, quietly. "He made a great and terrible mistake, But sometimes it is not easy to distinguish beâ€" tween a blunder and & crime. The heroâ€" ineâ€"Aliceâ€"had grace given her to make that distnetion. Fhe saved him and herâ€" self from the e€fects of the blunder by setâ€" ting him free. She bade him go and marry Margaret, because she saw thit Margaret was the only woman who could make him happy." an net of treachery and yet ho prospers, and is wonderfully happy with the wife of his choice! It is too bad." There is no need to tell what he raid. Perhaps it was not a very impassivned deâ€" claration ; but it made & happy woman of Neliy. Aud only a few minutes later Mr. Channell and Lis wife returned from a wintery walk, and found the two young people together. There were no concealâ€" ments ? Mergan was too honourable, and Nelly too simple hearted, to make a secret of what had taken place. It was all talked quietly, but with a good Ceal of restraincd feeling, and then having declined an inâ€" vitation to dinner, the curate went his way. He scarcely knew? himself®in the charâ€" acter of an engaged man. He had been working so hard all his life that marringe had been a very distant prospect to Lhim. While there were the dear old parents to _ Those calm autumn days were very | sweet days to Nelly Channell. The sumâ€" ! mer lingered long ; no wild winds sudderâ€" |ly stripped the trees, and so the woods kept their leafyness, and stood in all their gorgeous apparel, under the pale bine skies. Nelly thought it must be the peace of this slow deery and tranguil sunshine that made her life so happy at this time. | She did not own to herself thatevery bit of the old scenery had become dearer because Morgan Foster was learning to love it too. Her father and mother discovered the ;secrflt long before she had found it out ; | and they sm‘led over it together, not illâ€" pleased. "No," sarid Nelly, suddenly looking up through her tears, "I shall be a great deal worse if you leave me to mysel{!" Her face told him more than her words. In a moment the truth fashed upon him, and covered him with confusion. A sainer man, or cne less occupied in earnest work, would have seen it far sooner. Morgan Foster took a chair by her side, and felt his heart throbbing as it had seldom throbâ€" bed before. There was but one thing to be done, and be was going to do it, The curate advanced a few paces, and stopped in sudden distnry: There was something so pathetic in Nelly‘s pale, tearful face, that he was stricken speechless {or a moment. And then he recoved himâ€" self, and began to make anxious inquiries which she scarcely knew how to answer. "Nothing Lbas Lappened, Mr. Foster," she sobbed. "I am only crying because 1 am in low spirte." am in low spirte." "Shall I go iiway now, and call tosmorâ€" row ?" asked the bewildered young man in his eml arrasment. Christmas had come and gone. 1t was the last day of the old year ; Nelly sitting wlone by the drawingâ€"room fire, was seriously taking hersclito task, and askâ€" ing her own heart why the world was so very desolate that day ? True, . the ground was covered with snow ; but the afternoon sky was bright with winter sunâ€" shine. The brown woodlands took rich tinges from the golden rays that slanted »ver them, and scarlet berries glistened against the garden wall. _ Nelly had wrapped a shawl round her shoulders, and had laid the blame of her low spirits on a cold. It mattered so much that tears in Nelly‘s "rown eyes began to run down. her cheeks. At that very viomont the drawingâ€"room door was thrown open, and the page anâ€" aounced Mr. Foster. that he would give Nelly to a man who lad only a hundredâ€"andâ€"fity a year, and was exeambered with an old father and mother, living in obscurity. Some of the dissappointed suiters remarked that Chanâ€" nell was a fool to have the parson hangâ€" ing about the place ;â€"there was no countâ€" ing on the whims of a spoiled beauty who might take it into her head to fling herself away on the eurate. But this notion was not generally enfertained; and the inâ€" timnacey increased without exciting much notice. i ‘ "But the cold is not to Llame," owned the zirl to hersolf, "When one has a friendâ€" nch a friend as Mr. Fosterâ€"one does not like him to stay away from the houss for a week ; and one cannot bear to hear that he is always at the rectory when Miss White is there! And yetit ought not to matter to me !" She had more than one offer just at this period. The neighbouring country houses were full of men who had come to Huntsâ€" dean for shooting. _ They admired Nelly riding by her fatner‘s side, and looking vigorous and blooming in her habit and bat. They met her now and then at a dinner party, and straightway fell in love with her chesuut hair and brown eyes, and were mot unmindful of the handsome dowery that would go along with these charms. She was wont to say long afterâ€" wards, thai her unconseious attachment to another was a safeguard of God‘s providâ€" ing. Many a woman spenks the fatal yos, because her heart furnishes her with no reason for saying no. Robert Channell encouraged the curate to come often to his house; but no one hinted that he thought of him as a possible sonâ€"inâ€"law. | It was too absurd to stippose that he would give Nelly to a man who Lad only a hundredâ€"andâ€"fity a year, and was exeumbered with an old father and Even in person this son of the people could hold his own against tite decendâ€" ants of the old country families. He was a tall broadâ€"shouldered man ; and Nelly, whose stature was above middle height, secretly took a pleasure in feeling that she must look up to him. They were seen walking side by side along the Huntsdean lanes, and folks began to say they were a fine couple.

TORONTO i The crowning exporience of the trip is | when the boat renches Trinity Bay and { steams in close under the gigantic precipice of Cape Trinity, with Eternity over rgainst l an enormous mass almost equally bold and | stern. ‘The face of the rock, cightcen hunâ€" I dred or two thousand feet high, is split | down absolutely perpendicular, dropping | into the back water like the face of some vast piece of Titanic masonry.

At Baio St |Jean, as well as at Tadousae, whea we â€"reached it by daylight, there was a perfect [ and very singular display of the "terrace | systam" of the Champlain poried before re | ferred to the geological nge just proceding ‘t!xe preseat.

The upper terrace, such is the theory, is the remnaat of what formed the original fHoor of the river or sea bottom, when these mountain tops comâ€" posed an archipelago of countless granite islands in a wide estnary of the old geoâ€" logical sea. An nplift of the continent, cousing the waters to rush away swiftly, evaded that floor, letiing down the level of the water to the next terrace, which formed the second sea bottom, the mere fragment of the previou® bting left as it is now. The second floor in turn wa&s torn away by a second uplift, and the third was ' formed, and so on till the present level was | reached ; the foree which occasioned the i succossive uplifts growing weaker and | weaker, and raising the terrace a less disâ€" | tance each time, till the last attained only l about twenty feet, whereas the topmost is fully three hundred feet above the one next l below it.â€"Cor. Newark Advertiser. The carliest snow fall in sixteen years oc eurred in Kanses on Saturday. Many attempts have been made to pene» trate into the interior of Greonland from the west coast, but, until this summer, with little suceess. Three Danish gentleâ€" men, Messrs. Jensen, Kernuerup and Groth, under the Commission for Scientific Exâ€" ploration in the Danish colony, started io explore fand survey the coast between Godâ€" haab and Frederikshaab,. Lieut, Jensen took advavtage of the oppo:tunity to make an excursion into the interior over the ice. The aim was to reach several mountiin peaks rising out of the ice. The baggage was placed in three small sledget of the traveilers‘ own, and the toilsome journey commenced on July 14. _ After two days the loose snow accumulated on the surface of the ice to such an extent that the jourâ€" ney became very, dangerous, while they continually sank‘in concealed crevasses & 14 holes, saving themseives only by adopting the Alpine expedient of attaching thein selves to each other by a rope. ‘Tue sur fuce of the ice was generally undulating, but there were also many rugzed parts and chasms which ren lered the journey a very difficult one, It was foggy nearly t whole time, thd on July 28 a snow storm eame on,. On the 2ith the expedition reached the foot of the mountain referred to nbove. ‘Then came on nuother storm which lasted for six days, with contmuous snow and fog ; the truvellers were snowâ€" Llind.. The weather cleared on the Bist, when the ascent of themountain miglt be undertaken with some prospect of success. The height was estimated at about 5,000 feet above sea level, and on the other side of the mountain as far as the eye could reach, ice sheets and glaciers were seen, and not the sgoallest speck of land free of An Excursion into Greenâ€" land. So Morgan Foster; as he walked back to his lodging over the frozen snow, began to wonder at the good gifts that heayon had showered upon him.

A Mail reporter now states having had an interâ€" view with a womun who is the sole surviâ€" vor of the gang, and she tells a story to the effect that Erown was an innocent victiin. This secims to hbe confirmed by the prisoners proteâ€"tations during the trigh and when sentenced.
