For on the previous day, Edward, by Divine Providence, Lord Bishop of the Diocese, had been carried to his last long home in the Cloisters of hU Cathedral Church. The townsfolk had scarce as yet begun to wonder who would be the new Bishop. They were full of the quiet scholarly graces of the departedprelateâ€" they had forgotten how often they had blamed him for not having been more proininent among them, for beini; so gentle, so full of humility and all those meek qualities whi.-h, as a kind of sop to our consciences, we make a point of attributing to Christ, and which almost universally we utterly despise in the man Yes, they had forgotten all the irritations, the petty ir- ritations of the past their spiritual head, sanctified by great sufferings had liecome to them a dear saint in glonr, whose blameless life among them would be a bright beacon to guide them on that dark road which we must all tread one day. Perhaps tliere is no irony so caustic as the irony of events A great spiritual lord was lofiming in the distance, the not far distance, who would be in most things what the go()d folk of Blankhampton had wished in him who had just left them a big heavy .jowled man of great diguity of bearing, ponderous and arrogant, a patron of Christianity rather than a servant of Christ a man who would make a rule of being prominent among liis people, who would Ije their superior in things of earth as well as in tilings of heaven, a man -wlio would seldom try to be affable and if he did would invariably make all beholders wish fervently that he would not, a man of the world worldly, a Bishop of .Society, not tlie society of his own .See but that portion ol the world which is called the " Upper Ten Thousand," and is commonly spelt with a captial S.

But they knew nothing of a terrible hour wlien the gentle Bishop had knelt beside his dying wife's bed, when he had watched tho bfe that was all the world to him, quickly ebbing away, "Conty, Conty." -he had lU- ways called her Contyâ€"" don't leave meâ€" oon t leave me," he cried. • " Dear Eddy," she ai-sweied, " I think I have to go "â€"it was, oh such a faint, faint voiceâ€"" But I'll wait in Heaven for you Midâ€" andâ€" you'll have the child." " I'll come as you leave me, Conty,"cried the poor Bishop in an agony of grief, »-ith the tears streaming down his face. " That is in your hands, dsj-liug," she said tenderly. It was soon over after that, and Blank- hampton waited and waited for a new mis- tress to reign lit the Pakce, waited and waited in vain no olhtr woman ever came to supplant the love of his youth, the dear wife of his days of success, and Edward, l»ra Bishop of 'Blanthampton, :i3 he had prouiUcd went, when hi.i lime uan.e, to seek his Conty in the other world, asahe had left him in this one. in^juitonof thefint dcgna.

"Etiiel," he said â€" "look hereâ€" I'm going tojeavc you my bull-pup." The ready tears began to fill the child's lovely eyes. " Oh I Jack," she criedâ€" then by a sudden impiUsc .she Hung her arms uNrnt him ami held up her sweet little face to his.

"Oh I daresay Crummies Avon't mind, he'll get a very goml time," he sjUfl gruffly, then went back to the Palace tltrongh the shrub- lcry and the West Garden, wilikinghanl to keep the tears which would come into nis eyes, from falling. When he reached the house he found the carriage at the door and Lady Gascoigne just coming down the st:iirs, Ic oking oh" so large and BO hot in- her vohiiiiiiious crape- laden garments that the loy'a heart fairly Kank within him at the prospect of sitting through another service at the Parish. However, happily the afternoon service at the Parish is not a very long one â€" just the evensong and an anthem, and while his t;randmotlier was settling herseli in the car- riage. Jack had time lo run upstairs and dash some cold water into his Mash-basin, into which he plunged his quivering face. A good rub with a rough towel nia»le him look almost himself again, and iu two minutes he hail brushed his fair hair into a snifM)th wave across his head and was downstairs again. And the Parish was fuller than it lnulleen in tlic momink; even men and women were i^t-anding three deep in the broad centre aisle, and in groups alwut the corners ofthe stiitc- ly old pews, and as soon ;us Lady Gascttignc ami Jack were seated, a verger caiifc to itsk in an agonized whisper whether he might fill up the remaining stalls in their pew as usual?

(TO BE COSTINrKD. « If aU the E^ga of the Ood ihtored. Fish that take much care of their opring naturally don't need to produce eggs in the same reckless abundance as those dissipated Kinds that leave tbeir spawn exposed on the Ijare sandy bottom at the mercy of every comer who chooses to take a bite at it. They can afford to lay a smaller number, and to make each individnal egg much larger and richer in proportion than their rivals. This plan, of course, enables the young to begip life far better provided with muscles and fins than the tiny little fry which comes out of the eg~s of the improvident species. For example, the codfish lays 9,000,000 odd eggs; but anybody who has ever eaten fried cod's roe must needs have noticed that each individual ovum was so veryamall as to be dbnost indistinguishable to the naked eye.. Thousands of these infinitesimal specks are devoured before they hatch out by predace- oua fish thousands more of the young fry are swallowed alive during their helpless in- fancy by the enemies of their species. Im- agine the very fractional amount of parental affection which each of the 9,000,000 must needs put up with. On the other hand there is a patern- ally-mindetl group of catfish known as the genus AriiiH, of Ceylon, Australia, and other tropical parts, the males ofwhich carry about the ova loose in their mouths, or rather iu an enlargement of the pharynx, somewhat resembling the pelican s pouch and the spouses of these very devoted sires lay ac- cordingly only very few ova, all told, but each aunost as big as a hedtre-sparrow's egg â€" a wonderful contrast to the tiny mites of the codfish. To put it briefly, the greater the amount of protection affoided the eggs, the larger the size. And "conversely, the larger the size of the egg to start with, the better fitted to begin the battle of life is the young fish when first turned out on a cold world upon his own resources. This is ii general law, indeed, that runs through all nature, from London slums to the deep sea. Wasteful species produce many young, and take but little care of them w^hen once produced. Economical species produce very few young, but start each in- tlividual well-equipped for its place in life, and look after them closely till they can take care of themselves in the struggle for existence. And on the average, however many or however few ofthe offspring to start with, just enough attain maturity in the long run to repla-'e their parents in the next generation.

Alfout twelve miles from the city of Nami, on the side of a mountain, is an ancient convent called Los|eco. It was iu the woods near it that St. Francis of Assisi used sometimes to wan- der alwut in contemplation. The convent, however, was only inhabited now by five friars, who were greatly respected by the people in Narni for the great good which they werealways doing. On Sunday morning two of them went off to celebrate mass in a village near by, it being the feast of .St. Loreuce. The other three â€" Padre Natale, Patlre Alfonso, and Padre Emilio â€" to- wards twelve o'elock wentas usual to Ihefr dinner in the refectory. While they were eating they were suiiirised by four individ- uals with their faces masked and armed with long knives and siick-s, with which Ihcy at- tacked the [Mior friars. A terrible fight en- sued, with the result that ojic of the friars was beaten to death. Another. was killed by having his throat cut, and the third was stabbetl. A boy of 15 years of age, who also lived in the convent, ran down â-  o the cel- lar to hide, but he was followed and beaten to death. The sight that presented itself lo the other two friars «ii their return in ihe evening was a dreadful one. No reason iit all can be given for this atrocious crime, as the assassin did not steal anything from the convent or from the church but it"is thought that theier intention was to rob, thongh perhaps they were too frightened to *lo so after having murdered the friars. The police are bunting all over the place, Ijut have not caught any of the assassins yet.

However, the service passed off better thaiL might have l:cen expected. Lady hiscoigne ilid notlegin toweep until tbcanthein egan; even then she only wept softly and noiseless- "The souls oftlioriifhtcous arc in thchainlsof God And there shall no torment touch them.

Then followed Spohr's "Blest are the de- parted," and then the congregation subsid- ed into their seats while the offertory was collected. In less than ten minutes after that Jack was leading his grandmother through tlie crowd once more and the dreadful day of public suffering was over. Looking back in after years, Jack Trevor always declared that liisreal boyhood end- ed on that day, that he then became a man. in reality although he had but the form of a boy.

" In 1857, some time after returning from the Crimea, on the Pall of Sebastopol, said Mr. Fisher, ** a military train was organized to take the place of the old transport corps, and I among others in the Scots Greys then stationed in Ireland, volunteered. We were at once ordered to C%ina, where there was war goint; on, but on reaching Singapore found fresh orders awaiting us there. The China war had collapsed and the Indiui mutiny bad broken out. As a result we were ordered back to Calcutta in great haste. When we reached Calcutta the 8th Madras native cavalry had mutinied against going to Bengal, and we were asked to volunteer for service. As the second battalicm of the Military Train comprised nearly all cavalry- men we at once did so, and the horses and accoutrements of the 8th Madras horse were turned over to us. POISONED BREAD. Then we had our first narrow* escape, and it was a close one I can tell you. Pre- vious to going up the country we were sent out a short distance to a riding school at Dum Dum for a couple of weeks. There were there about 600 men aud 400 women and children. One morning as we were sitting djwn to breakfast the bugle sadden ly sounded the rally and we all hurried out. Then the bread was hastily collected and destroyed, and we were- told it had been poisoned. Had the bugle sounded five minutes later it would have been all up with WeU, the chief baker and five of his assistants were arrested, and, as they couldn't give a satisfactory .account of how the poison came in the bread, we hanged the six of them. All the explanation they could give was that some one must have come in the bakehouse and put it in the dough, but that was all rubbish and they deserved their fate. TO BELIEVE DELHI. We were first ordered to relieve Delhi, and we started ou the road to Cawnpore. It was a fifteen hundred mile march' and it took us about two months to make it. The' bridges had all been destroyed and we had a number of encounters with hill robbers, but we finally reached the scene of the most atrocious massacre of modem days without mishap. You will remember that it was at Cawnpore that General Wheeler, after a brave resistance, laid down bis arms to the Sepoys, on condition that he and his men, with the women and children, were to be allowed to depart unmolested. Nana Sahib agreed to the terms and the soldiers were a1*out getting on the boats in the river when the mutineers fell upon them, and massacretl the whole brave biuid. Only three men escaped, and they did so by swimming the river, aud hiding in the bush. The women and children were detained as prison- ers until at the approach of the British troops Xana Sahib ordered them to be slain and their Iwdies thrown into a deep well. A monument to-day marks the siteo^the slaughter at the well. This barbarous order waa c;irried out aud when we reached there a few weeks afterwanls the place presented a gloomy and a terrible appearance. It is said that by order of Nana ^^ahib an English minister and a Roman Catholic priest were hanged face to face and then thrown into the well, along with the women and children. TU havelock's KESCL'E. We intended to inarch on Delhi from Cawiiiore, but when we reached there found that it bad already fallen. It was then dc- terniined as soon as reinforcements came up that we should attempt the relief of Luck- now. You will remember that a short time before this when the handful of Eurqieans in Lucknow were just about on the verge of giving up, General Havelock with a couple of thoustiud men 1 hrew himself into the place but his force was too small to get out again, and he was still besieged there "As soon as Sir Colin Campbell arrived ith reinforcements we started for Luck- now, six thousand strong, crossing the Ganges oiia bridge of boats. The distance from Cawtporc to Lucknow was about fifty-one miles, but we had scarcely made more than ten when the enemy began to show tight. They would conceal themselves in the bush while we kept to the open, and shelled them out with our guns. We cap- tured quite a few prisoners as we went along and most of them met the same fate. If they could not show conclusively that they were not at the massacre in Cawnpore a blank cartridge was placed in a cannon, they were strapped across the mouth of it the cartridge was exploded and the Sepoy was BLOWX INTO THE NEXT WORLD in small pieces. We asked no quarter and gave none. If our men were unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of- the enemy it meant death, and if the enemy fell into ours they knew what they had to expect. We had no room for prisoners. Welt, we fought on day by day, but it was not until we were within four miles of Lucknow that we found the Sepoys in fcrce. They occupied the King of Lucknow's sum- mer residence, known as Dalkooska palace. We executed a flank movement by engaging the enemy with artillery in front and getting round to the left of the palace. ^11 that lay we fought hand-to-hand, and when night came the palace was ours. We lay right down there on the ground and slept among the slain each man with his horse' bridle twisted round his wrist. " The second day after some hard fighting we carried Martiniere College at the point of the bayonet. On the third day we got a position near the bridge which leads to Lucknow, and captured it with a charge. We held it, too, in spite of the fact that Uie enemy made several desperate attempts to blow it up. The fourth day we spent in CANSON'ADING THE CITY, and succeeded in burning most of it down with rockets. It became too hot for the enemy, and they fell back, leaving a small section in our possession. On the fifth day we crossed the bridge altogether, and got a good foothold in the city. By this time we were close enough to enable Havelock to make a sortie from the Residency where he was besi^^ed. The enemy attempted to prevent a union of our forces, but failed, and Havelock and his brave band were rescued. " We then fell back to Alumbaugh, a fort a few miles away, and situated in an open oountiy. Here after tbiee or four days poor davelock died, and although the doc- didn't say so, I have always thought tkmt joy at being rescued was' too much for hiai. We remained at Alumbaugh until reinfcwcemeuts could arrive to enable us to â- ptare the city and hold it. At this time Sir C^lin Campbell was suddenly called back to Cawnpore, and jnst got thre iu to prevent the Galway contingent of the native army about twelve or uiirteen and strong, from capturing that place. Tlwie was some desperate fighting, but he managed to bold it. If it had fallen we would all have been cut off in the heart of India and nothing would have saved us. While we remained at Alumbaugh the enemy attached us nearly every day, and it was an ordinaiy occurrence to have to turn out and drive them back. One day they came in larae locae and We got our guns on them and tbey left about five hundred men on tha field. After that we w«% not bother- ed ao much." BKHXAOSO THS SEBOIANT-ITA/OE.

On previous oc- casions we always sent to Alumbaugh for assistance as sotm as we saw them coming, and I at once dirocted me of our men tQ go there now. In a few minutes he' came back and sud it was impossible as the enemy had cut us off. I reported this to the officer in command. " ' Corportd' he replied, *you will have to go yourself.'" " I went, but you could have brought my life for a five cent piece. I had to ride right through the enemy, but in the dust and con- fusion, although I was robbing slioulder to shoulder with them they never noticed me. I got through safely enough, but as soon as I got clear of them a short distance tbey not- iced me separating from the main body, and at once sent volley after volley after me but I escaped all right. I reached Albuihbaugh just in time to find the troops on the move. I joined my own corps aud we returned to tho attack utterly routing the enemy and capturing five gims and a Howitzer. The enemy fought desperately, and in some cases the Sepoys would climb tlie trees and shoot down at us as we jxissetl underneath. We would shoot them up in the trees aud they would fall from limb to limb and finally drop like squirrels ou the grountl dead. LUCKNOW CAPTITRED. On the 10th of March 1858 sutficient re inforcements had arrived to enable us to attack Lucknow, although it had a native garrison of teventy thousand Sepoys. We removed alt our stores and ammunition from Jallallahad and the engineers blew it up' Ou the 14th of March, with 2.5,000 men aiid 10,000 Gonrkbs we commencetl the attack on the city, and it is needless to describe to you the two days* fighting that ensuetl and its final fait But few of them escaped and the rout to them was most disastrous. It was here I first saw Captain Fred Middle-' ton. After the fall of Lucknow a column under General Lugard was ordered to march after Kaooz Singh and raise the sieze of Asiz- guialh, where the 1 3th Light Infantry were hemmed in. On reaching there we found that the Sepoys had retreated without wait- ing for us to come up, and a detachment consisting of two troojjs of the military train, four hundred of Hudson's Horse and three guns from the Horse Artillery, under' command of STAFF OFFICER CAIT. MIDDLETON were ordered to pursue Kaooz .Singh. After marching about nine miles w*e came across some of their baggage and took possession of It. A litte further on the detachment came to Koore bridge. This was a narrow bridge crossing a stream with an emljaiik- ment leading up to it on each side. There was no sign of the enemy here but 'as it afterwaids turned out they were Concealel in force in the buslies ou the right hand side of tliat embankment. Hudson's Horse were ahead and had almost crossed the bridge when there was a roar and a volley of bullets was poured into them from ' the bushes on the right. They were thrown into great, confusion and crossing the bridge wheeled down the left side of the bank out of range of the enemy instead of charging them. We were next. As .soon as Capt. Middleton saw what had occurred he dashed forward bnindishing his sword in the air. Ri!ing in front of us with flashing eyes he shouted â€" lion't show the white feather. â€" Charge I And he lead the way lown the emlumk- ment in amongthe bushes with us ridingpell mell after him. We cut and slashed and fought hand- to- band for fully half an hour. In the meantime Hudson's Hoi se hail rallied behind the bank andciLine to our assistance. Then the enemy began lo retreat. The last few shots were Iteingfiri'd when I got two of them, one through the right arm and the other through the rightshoulder. My horse was shot through tlie head iit the same time and FELL ON ME and I didn't remember an)'thing more for seven days. The rest of theliattli* I imist tell you from hearsay.

Itut, Middletun'a piimptDess in (trdering us to charge turned the di-saster into victory. Out of eighty men who ehart'e*! l«wn the cmbaiikinent after Middleton twenty were killed and thirty wounded. Hudson's Hoi-se also lost heavily. Their coinmaiuling oflieer. Col. Hamilton, was among ihc killed. Two men Morley and Muqihy, in trying to nave him, earned the Victoria Cross. They res- cueil their colonel, bnl il was only to see-him die of his wounds. When the (bx:tors eame to me they said I couldn't live, and attended to all the other woundcil first, but at the end of a week I recovered consciousness, and'when I was strong enough I was sent down to Calcutta and home to Kiiglaiid with a convoy of wounded, and here am I in.

A ilairy exjiert '-eing asked how to salt butter ill the eh n, replied: "Suppose there is cream enough in the chum to make 200 pounds of butter, when the butter, has 'come' in pellets the size of wheat grains, throw in !00 pounds of weak brine, ami re- volve the chum a few times. 1 hen let it stand a few minutes and the butter will mount to the surface. Draw out all the butter-milk that will run out till the fine particles of butter begin to come. Chill and wash the butter with water cold enough to reduce contents to 50. This will keep the pellets from massing, and will wash out nearly all the caseine matter, leaving it as disintegrated as so much com. 1'henput in brine as salt as w*ater will hohl, till the butter is covered and swims in the brine. Leave it half or a whole hour, at convenience. Then letthe brine drain out. That brine will be diluted some, because of the water mingling with it that was left in the washed butter; and it therefore neeIs another submersion in strongest biina, let- ting it stay in a few minutes. This latter application of brine may le warmed to 75 degrees, or left at 50, according to the cold- ness of the weather or room. If the weather is hot, the mass of butter will soon warm up to good packing temperature, 00 degrees. If it is cola it needs the help cf warm brine to raise it to the same, temperature, or it will not pack welL Butter sr salted will please far more people than it would teu years ago. It will not be over-sailed, or have undissolved crystals in it, iu any event but it may not be salted enough to suit some tastes.

M: Winslow in tlie Country Oentieman. The reason of this is that it costs less onan average to produce a quart of milk or a pound of batter from an Ayrshire than from any other dairy cows. As a dairy cow their size is the standard, being aboat a thoasand pounds in fair condition, weighed at about a month or sir weeks after calving. A cow of this size has large enough capacity to consume enough food to proiluce a good return with- out seeming to strain her organs; then too she is not ao large as to le unwieldy in get- ting about nor docs it require the extra food to support an unnecessary' size. Perhaps the great secret of the sncccts of the Ayrshire as a dairy cow is Iter digestion, enabling ber to extract and turn into milk and butter the largest p:)d8ible amount of return for the food consumed. They are like a healthy workingman when he sits down to dinner â€" all the food is good, and tastes good. An Ayrshire fow dttcs not stop to find out the quality of hay plai;ed before her â€" she eats with a lelish good liay tnd poor. Of coui-se she does not i-eti^m to her oa'ner as much milk from his |ioor hay as from his good, but she eats it with near- ly as good relish She is hardy, hcaltiiy and strong â€" alway* hungry and eats heart- Contracted Feet.
