Betty, in the fullness of her young life, ooalil understand that Miss Bab should feel thus, she looked so fragile and worn, so little in keeping with the freshness around. Then her aunt having as Mis* Stacy said, "washed op the dishes," began to repeat poetry. "There is a sweet poem of George Her- bert'- that speaks well of earthly beauty : ' I uia4a umle while the day ran by : H .1 will I wear tin remnant out and tie My llfi wltiuu thll band.

Hho was thinking that niie ooald almost hear the roots of the eras* and tbe flowers in the earth ander her, reach to each other and pass on the Msaage: " Kep on growing." Along the sward, to the right of a dia- mond-shaped plot, where red and white and yell iw tulips grew in alternate row*, like the little maids in the garden of " Mistress Mary, quite contrary," she could see the pace under the hollow of a huge box-bush where, when *he was a little girl, had stood her doll -house. She remembered how, onoe, when she had dressed her rag dolls in their beet, and arranged them for a ball, she had returned lo find them with their imlt finite throats cat and stained with pokeberry fuioe, the vintimsof a red massacre, which the calprit, Tom, would never confess, save by implication in the way of various gratu itou* and reparatory offices. Ho had been tad dare-devil to have grown so oddly grave of late. " Bab," said Bstty," do you know, some thing is going to happen to-day. I feel ii in my bones." " Yei, and, rssb girl, you will feel some thing else in your bones ere long a twinge of the tie douloureux.

" Oh, Bab, I believe that yon think that yon and I and Aunt Clem have one family soul, which is under my charge ta day." " Hush, I will not bear any snob light talk. If yon see Tom or Will, aik them to coma to tea, and Betty, be certain to remember Dr. Wells's text and sermon to tell me when you come home, and to notice wbo is at church but don't let that hinder yon from being devont." On tbat memorable occasion Batty was attired in a cream colored damaik gown figured with bouquets of roau?, wbiah she bad taken for tbe first time from tbe ohetts where it had lain in pres*. folded in row- [eaves. It was worn without hoops. eiiri ooped over a petticoat of the name, that unnn in full folds to her ankles. The tightly tlttting bodioe was finished by a arge uimlin neokerobief, ten>ierly veiling her rounded throat and bonom. The mitt* that ihonld havo bf en on her bande and arms were carried in her prayer book, Betty declaring that they made her feel ' all tied up. like a orab in a net.

Men often ran the gauntlet of grave and terrible dangers to die by tbe simplest of aooidents. A few days ago Mr. Henry Hunter was instantly killed in Toronto by slipping and falling on a stairway ; yet he pasted safely through one of the most bril- liant, daring and successful cavalry charges of hiatory. Stand with me under tbe steeps of the Chersonese and we will watch this thrilling scene in the bloody Crimean drama. It i tbe 2Mb cf October, 1854. Gen. Scarlett has jnit witneeeed the flight cf tbe Turks aa tbey deserted Sir Colin Campbell and trusted to speed for tafety. As the mag- nificent brigade known as the Heavies," conaiitiog of the second squadron of the Inniskillings and tbe Soots Ureya swings mo tbe valley a quick communication pauses between Aide-de-'-emp Elliot ind its commanding officer. Elliott's ibarp eye has just noticed wheeling obliquely toward the lire of the WMMs1 road a dark mass of Russian horse. How many are there ? Tbe trout ie wide ; the ind cf the maas is not yet viible. Still tbey advance, forming as they do so into that oblong *qner peculiar to the sons of Ihe " Little Father " when bent on a charge or resisting one. It ia cur guns they are after I We have bad diiaater enough in tbe last few days. BoarUtl has grasped the situation. The little bai.it of iboul 300 Oreys and Inmskillings have teen riding across the front of a body of horse over ten times their number, who are contemplating a charge down the slope which, if executed, must by sheer weight and force of impact scatter the handful in the valley like chaff in a hurricane. What will Boarlett do ? It ii certain destruction to await Ihe ouaet of ench a foroe. He will not wait. The game ia s desperate one, 301 between retreat and tbe chances of a charge be ia not the man to beiitate. Facing his flank he calls out : " Are yon ritht in front ?' and reo iving the answer, ' Yes, sir !" he gives the command, "Left wheel into line !" Leader or General ? Wbal will Scarlett i? No time for long ooniideralioa; he needs none. As the brigade wheels quickly oto line Scarlett takes bis position a few .'aril* in advance of his men. Lord Luoao, oolJ, surly, impatient, bai lent asinranoes of support. Tbe Rues watches tbe line of red ooats forming beneath him. Why doesn't he charge ? Doee he fear an am lueoade ? Perhaps. It is not unnatural tbat he should suspect that those tbrea hun- dred men performing barrunk yard drill in Ihe faoe of his manses hae strong sup- nria. Why, Scarlett ia even waving lack the men of the 5th Dragoons wilh his sword as he note* irregularity in their rant I The trumpet of Lord Lnoaa sounds the ' 'charge 1" Scarlett either hears not or leeds not. He is in command and he will not be too late. The Russians) seem be- wildered.

Olaeh I Heard on thi steeps of the Chersonese is on there shooting ; there ia no wind to waste ; every man's strength is required tor his sword arm and bridle hand. Scarlett? be ia still In the thick of it. Elliott is fighting ike a fiend. His horse became un- manageable, and while he struggled with t his faoe was slashed by a ubre, and blow after blow was rained upon i bead. BtiU, scmi-unoonicions, he eils in his saddle as if he grew there, and Ms long sword sweeps down those within his reach. He u cutting his way toward a group of his fellows, and he will snooeed.

Il result* from exposure to wet or oold, and is therefore) more general in tbe winter than in the) summer, and is dreaded by medical men on acoouui of the large percentage of fatal laaea and the inddennesa with which a fatal iaiue ia generally reached. The first symptom of pneumonia ii generally a pro- nounced chill, attended by a severe pain, very muoh resembling thai oanaed by a stab, within a circumscribed apace at or near the nipple on tbe affected side. Then 'pllowi a racking cough, with expeotora- lion, high fever, loss of appetite, full and lard pule and increased respiration. IB the second stage of the disease tbe pain may cease, although the cough will con- tinue ; while in the third stage reepiretioa will rtinme its normal condi*ion, appetite) will return, and paiu will almost if not entirely disappear one of the peoaliari- iea of tbi* stage being that in the intem- wrele it may lead to delirium tremena. A irave complication in pneumonia ia in- lammatiou of the membranous sac which surround* the heart ; but when onoe oon- 'eleaoeooe ban begun recovery from the) diaeaae is a! moat certain, and fatal re- apuos are very infrequent.
