In Ibese warm Jane daya, when all tbe earth is languorous and glad witb its own beauty, time slips from na unannounced, and Ibe minutes from morn to eventide and from the gloaming to nightfall, melt into one another, until all aeem but one iweel, lengthened boar. Juki now Ibe hot sun is pouring down upon garden and gravelled walks al Moyne ; exaepl Ibe bom of the iodusliioue bees not a sound ean be beard i even tbe atreunlel at tbe end of tbe long lawn is running sleepily, making i weetmntio aa il goes, indeed, bat ao drowsily, to heavily, tbat il hardly reaches Ibe ear ; and ao, loo, with the lap- lapping of tbe waves upon tbe shore below, sut me tide comes and goea. Oerlain atray little eonbeama, half wild with glee, rosbing hilber and thither tbrougb the roeea, discover Miee Penelope Blike silting in Ibe drawing room at Moyne. tthe ia draaaed in her very beat lavender silk, that would stand alone, and be glad ti do il if il was let, but, unabashed by ber splendor, ApoUo'a saoey babies dance down opoc ber, and, selling on ber knitting-needles, play bide-and-aeak among them, until Ibe poor lady's eyes are fairly dazz'ed. Fortunately, at this mutant Misa I'm- cilia, entering the room, draws down the blind and restores order ; after wbieb she eesta herself almost directly opposite ber ister. The Misses Blake are not pretty old ladiea al all. I don't want to deeeive you in thin matter. They are, in fact, qaite ugly old ladies. There ia a pensive air about Miaa Pene- lope that might suggeat to the easnal observer an early and disastrous love affair. Bal all soeb imaginings on his part would be vain. No winged Oupid evtr bid ia Misa Peneljpe'a ear, or played bo-peMp in ber virgin boeoo), or nestled In bar eandy loeke ; she ii free from all taint of socb wild f rivolisme. " All it ready, now," sayi Miss Frlsoilla, who ia the Mrtbe at Moyne, while we may regard Miss Penelope M the Mary. " Tbe rooms are prepared, nothing is wanting and tbs flowers smell so sweet. I bave sent tbe etrriageto meel them, though I know tbe tram cannot be bere for quite an hour yet , but I think il wiae always to be in lime." " Tbere H nothing like II," aaya Mice Penelope placidly. " Now I shall rest bera witb y on a little while," goea oo the elder maiden compla- cently, < and think of all tbat IB likely to happen." "Really," saya MiM Penelope, lowering ber work and glancing reetlessly at ber sis- ter, " I feel more nervous tban I can lay, when I think of their coming. What on earth ahoald we de, my dear Prisoalla, if tbey took a dislike lo ua 1 " " I bare thought of tbat myaelf," sayi Mies Priseilla in an awe-struck tone. " We mx not attractive, Penelope, beyond a few a rery few insignificant touches," witb an inward glance at her fine hair, " we are absolutely onleide the pale of beauty. I wonder if Monioa will be like ber mother, or if " Here something bappena that pate a final stop to all eonveraation. Tbe door is opened qaiekly, impetuously, tbcie Is a sound M of many footelepe on tbe three- hold without. Tbe old ladies atari in their teats and sit upright, trembling exocaelvaly. What eaa bave bappened? Qae tbe sedate Byan oome to loggerbeadi with Mri.

A moment surcharged with thrilling BUS- penee goes by, and then, not Byan or the oook, but a much more perplexing viaion comes alowly into tbe room. Il fa a very radiant vision, thongh il ia ololbed in mourning garmenta, full of grace and beauty. Very shy, with parted lips and brilliant, frightened eyea, but perfect M) an opening flower, I* it a child or a woman, ia the first question tbat strikes Misa Psnelope.

Aa the i-aya this, she glanoessatrealicgly from one lady to Ibe other, witb some trouble iu ber grtal eyes, and some tears. Then all at ocoi ber lips tremble to a amile and a aofl light breaka upon ber faoe. you are AUDI Priseilla," ahi aays, turn- ing to Miu Blake, "I know yoa by your dark eyes and by your pretty hair I " Al tbe Boood of ber voice tbe two old ladies wake from their abstraction. " Ye", yea, il ia your A on I Prisoilla," aayi Miss Penelope eagerly, with a sadden pleased smile. Ud the oampliment been made to beraelf she oould not poaaibly bave appeared more delighted and oerkainly would nol bave betrayed ber tumefaction so openly. " Her hir," the saya, " wai always beautiful." As for Miaa Prisoilla, she it mailing loo, but in a uuamefiioed fashion, and ii blush- ing a warm, pretty crimson, -uoh as a girl of seventeen might ba guilty of, Unteniag lo a first word of love. Bhe tekea Monioa's right band in hen and patu il aoflly and Mim Penelope take* the left, and then tbe two old ladies stoop forward, and, cue after the other, klsa Ibe pale, girlieb obetk, and with Ibe kill take her al ocee and forever into their very hearte. " But, surely, dear child, yoa did not come alone ?" etya Mies Priecilla pretently, calling to remembrance tbe fact that there ought to be two other Bercsfordi some- where. " Mo ; Terecoe and Ettherine are with me." " But where, my dear ? " " Well, I rail* they are standing on the mat jaal osaMide tbe door," blushing and laughing, and tben she isya, rather louder, " Terry and Kit, you may come in now, It IB all right " As to what was evidently supposed not to be " all right "up to this, tbe UIBBM Blake bave no time to decide upon before a f reeb nephew and nieoe preaent tbamselvei to their view. Tbey came in quite gaily- reassured, uo donbl, by Monica's tone; Terence, a tall slim lad of about sixteen, and a little girl somewhat like Mtoniea, bat more reslleea in features and even a degree more pallid. " My dear odildrtu, why didn't yon eome in before?" aayi Misa PtiaoiUa, aghast at tbe inhospitable thought tbat they had been abivering wiin needlesa nervooinesi In the hall for the laal five minataa. " Tney said Ibey wouldn't oome in until I paved tbe way for them," ia>a Monica, wilb a alight shrug of ber ahonldart tbat ia a trick of ben. They always pal every- thing upon my ibonlders , a little ababby of them / oill it." " I am afraid you mail bave pictured us aa ogrea," layi Mise Priaeilla, which idea strikea Ibe old ladiea M aaeh a deliaioua flight of fancy tbat they laugh outright and look at eaob other with intense enjoyment of their in lie j)ka. " Well, of come we eonldn't till what yon would be like," aayi Monioa gravehj. " You might have been people likely to iffl- press one with awe ; but, M it u , Tbia ia Terry," laying her hand upon her brother's arm, " and tbis in Kit. Bbe IB really Kttberine, you know, bat no one ever calls ber by 10 long a name. Bhe isn't worth it." Al Ibis the Ibreu Beresiords laugh among themselves, as ebildren will al time-worn fun, knowing no fatigue ; after which Katbcrine and Terenoe are embraced and made maob of by Ibeir new-foand relativee and freely commented upon. Bat, evsr and anon, the eyu of both old ladiea wander thoughtfully, admiringly to where the liasome Monica stands, like a pale, pensive lily. ft****** " But bow bsve yoa managed to ba bere so soon ? " aaks Miaa i'riaoills, when Ibe impromptu luncheon, improvised by the startled Kmotey, hu oome to an end. The obildren were all hungry and have eaten a great deal and have talked more. Indeed, though Mite Piiscilla has been dying lo ask this question for a long time, it bia been impoeeible for ber to do ao, ai there has not been to mnob as a comma in Ihi con- versation for tbs laat boor. The Beresforda are like ao many eljcka wound up, and bound to go for a certain time whether tbey like it or nol; and, apparently, they do like it. Now they have run down a litlle, Terence being exhausted after hit laal laughing attack, and Kit wrapped in contemplation of an oli- f aehioned hair brooch tbat ia fastening an equally old fashioned place of priceless lace that adorni Miss Penelope's throat. "Well, loan'! think bow they do ill" abe aaye, loet in admiration of a little alim hair lady beading over a miniature hair urn in tbe moil lachrymose attitude oanoeivable. " Bat ihey have pot her aye in wrongly , she looks as if tbe U dying with laughter." Here Mis* Priseilla edgsa in bar question aa to how they bare contrived lo be al Moyne at so early an boar. " We osme by the wroog train," aays Terry. " We generally do.

" Whose fauli WM il we were alwaya BO late at the stationa tbat we hadn't time to make icaairiM, I'd like to know 7 Goald yoa," with fine irony, "tell net' 11 Certainly ; II WM none," replies Kit witb dignity. 11 Dtar me I And where 1) your narie now ?" Mks Miss Prisoilla anxionaly, " When IM| / aaw ber," aaya TereDoe, " abe waa sitting on tbe top of oar biggest box, witb everytbicg elae etrewn sroand ber and her feel resting on two brown paper paroali.

" And lovely il ia," pnta in Kit inlhosi aatieally. " We got up on a high hiU and uw tbe sea lyiag like a great, qaiet lake beneath na.

While tbe Japan- tie are tbe cleanest people on tbe faoe of tbe earth, and far ahead of the Engliah for eternally batbing and lerabbing them- selvee, tbe Qbineae are the very dirtieat. The trim, exqnitite little toy bourn of tbe Japaneae along wide atreeta are the great- est ecotrmat to tbe filthy abodes of the Chinese, wilb. Ibair dirt floora, mud and bamboo- woven walls, and atreeta often lens than five feel wide front wall to wall. Overhead ia a foreat of gill leltere, gorgeously colored elgna and banneri that fairly bide the iky. The narrow atreeta, with atop Irons all open above a low counter, aeem like paaeagei in tome f antaslio exhibition hall witb booths or " apaoaa " close together.
