Miss Cathie," she said; "false, aud hi artless too. lo not y. u be taken in with him, my dear," she adiled, as an after thought. I laughed, and told her there vtas no dan- ger. ISut his incessant attentions were very oppressive to mc. I wasi .xceedingly fund of riding, and much attached to my iwn horse "l-l.vliator. ' The name sui'ed him. He w.is strong and swift rather than ban Isome. in fiict, I fear many would have pronounced him t o clum.sily built for a lady's horse. .Still, he had a well-shaped head, and beau- tiful gentle eyct. 1 have ridden him from dawn to dark on a long summer's day, .-ind when we reached home at night e was not fatigued, i.or w as I. Every morn ug I paid hini a visit, and he would come galloping aiTi'Ss the paddock in a moment at the sound of the silver w histle 1 carried with me. liie day I set forth on a long ride and quite alone. In the Colonies one is less trammeled by ccemony and ct'quette than ill England, and one does not necessarily r quire an attendant wl en out riding. 1 thought when^ looked at n.yself in the glass before selting out that I appeart d sober and I edate enough to be sure of i.ttracting no attention during my exjtedition. My riding- habit was of black cloth. 1 1 ad a black felt lielnitt-shaped hat, with a plain band of crape round it. My linen col'ar and cutis were simply fastened with silver studs. Hut 1 was not to esctpe so easily, as it turned out. At one very lonely part of the road I hcd the iiiisfortune to brcikmy stirrup-leather, and my stirrup dropi.ed to the ground. 1 was a h'Ug way fiom home, and riding any distal cd without a support to the foot is fati^'uing work for a lady. I therefore dismounted, desired Gladiator to stand still, and 1 set to work to mend the broki(i strap with the aid of a penknife and some strong string, which I always carried with nic in the pocket of my sadd'e ready for a similar emergency. While I w.-s thus occupied, who should appear riding round the bend of the road but Cyril 'ane. 1 knew the dark pale face and the bright black eyes well enough by this time. Of course he dismounted at once, and was all sympathy and, talAng the knife from my hand, be insisted on tompleting the task 1 was engaged â-  3. When the stirrup-lea' her was mended and he was once more in the saddle, be still rode on by my side. He declared that his business lay in the exact direction in which I was myself going and, though 1 doubted the assertion, I had no means of disproving it. Kut I was not to be taken captive so easi- ly as he imagined, and I saw my way to a means of getting rid of him which be little dreamt of. There was a short cut across the paddot k to my own home, and just post the next bend of the road was a gate, ur rather one of the old-fashioned slip-panels, so much used in the early days of the colony. My father had often talked of having it replaced by a proper gate, but be had hitherto ne- glected to do so. As we came down the road at a canter, I watched my opportunity, nodded "good- bye" to my companion, and put Oladiator at the bars. Cyril Vane looked aghast for a moment but I knew my horsC, and my horse understood me. Before Mr. Vsne had recovered from his amazement, Oladiator and I were galloping away down the paddock, and I did not check his speed until I came in sight of my own home. CHAPTER IV.

Cyril Vans was following me everywhe^^ apeaking littl^ and sometimoa moodily breaking off tho head of a flower with the riding-whip he carried in his hand. At laat, as he switched off the head of a beautiful white camatioo just as I waa about to gather it, I ooold not help exclaimingâ€" " Oh, how provoking I" 1 threw an in- dignant glance at him over my shoulder as I spoke. " Misa Ckthie," he said suddenly, with a frown darkening his face, ".why do yon dis- like me so much " I parried the question as well aa I could, without teUing an abaolnte untmth. "Why should you suppose that I dislike you?" 1 aaked in reply. " I see it in every look yon give me," he answered moodily. " In every word you â- peak to me I hear the same. Yon don't address yonr horte in the same tone you use to me." "How could yon expect it I" I said, laughing, with a touch of scorn in my mis- chievous answer. "Oladiator is my very dearest f I ieod." " I wish I were yonr horse, then, to have that title given to me," he said. And he tried to catch my eye as he spoke. 1 would not look at him. I thought that the conversation was going too far. Yet bis answ er waa tot that of a lover, as 1 fancied it ought to be. There wai a certain coldness in his admiration, which waa never- theless genuine, as I ooold instinctively feel.

" And then my tbtughts Bew offâ€" where To the only man 1 bad ever teen who had aroused my inti rest for a moment, yet who had entirely diiapptaied from my range of I vision, and had never, so far as 1 knew, I taken the trouble even to inquire after me siLce.

" You will notescipe me so easily as you think," he said. "I have made up my mind to win you, and 1 tell you so openly, in detiacce of the displeasure which makes you look so urs[jeakably charming. But 1 can bide my ti.ne, as yon will see." ' Having fired this parting slot, he at last wished mc " gooel evening, ' and went away. The text day my father summoned me into the ro.in he used as his especial sanc- tum, hall libiary, half i thee, and desired me to sit down, as he had something of import- ance to say to me. I obeyed his request, i and seattd myself opposite to him. The li^ht from the long window behind me fell full upon his face, aod I thought he was looking very ill, and he had aged greatly during the last few weeks. He had been intensely proud of my btautiful sister, and had taken lier death much to heart. The p^iuful and mysterious manner in which her life had ended had affected his nerves, and I knew that the doctor who at- tended him had ordered him an entire change of air aod scene as soon as peissible. I was scarcely prepared, however, fer what was to come, "1 have sent for you Cathie," said my father, " to speak to you concerning a mat- ter in which you are greatly interested. You are aware that 1 am anxious to pay a visit home to the old country as ro^n as ever I can wind, up my affairs here. But you are not aware of what I grieve to say is the case, that I cannot afford to take yon with me. 1 am sorry to say that my affairs are in rather an embarrassed condition, acd, with- out entering into details of business which you Would not understand, it will be sulK.i ent for mc if 1 tell you that it is necessary for me shortly to tell this house and the estate arouud it. In these circumttances, the question is, what will best secure your happiness and insure you another tKmfor- table home " He waited a few moments, and coughed rather nervously be'ore he attempted to pro- ceed. I was feeling rather cold aud frightened, anil waa wondering anxiously what waa to come ne.xt. At last he resumed. " Yesterday 1 received a re(|uest from Mr. Vai.c that I would allow of his visiting here, with a view to his gaining your esteem and affection. In short, he begged me to inter- cede with jou that you would become his wife." "Oh, no, no!" I cried impetuously, al- most before be had tinished apeaking. My father raised his hand as i| to check my excitement he was always too reserved, too dignified in manner for his daughters ever to feel quite at ease with him. " Th'nk it well over, Cathie," he said, before you attempt to decide either one way or the other, 1 have just warned you that you cannot expect to retain this house as your home much longer, and at this exact crisis in my affairs a respectable and tolera- bly wealthy man, of fairly good family, 1 believe, though I confess that of his relatives I know next to nothing, has come forward, and offered you a home and a position in every respect equal to your present one, and has pri miseel besides to make a hanelsome settlement upon you. Which would you prefer â€" to marry Mr. Vane, or to go out as a governess I confess that I see no alterna- tive?' Ah, it was a cruel decision which he called upon me to make I Is there anything more terr.blc to a woman than to find that she is in danger of losing her home, and being turned out to seek the mercy of a cold and pitiless w orld I saw at once that my father had made up his mind that I should marry Cyril Vane, and, whejn he had once resolved upon carry- ing any point, his will was of iron. There comes a time when children judge their parents with the eyes of grown-up men and women, and not with the old awe and reverence of childhood. ' 1 can see now that my father, lenient and indulgent even to carelessness in trifling matters, was a good deal of a tyrant in con- cerns of greater importance. 1 sat quite still and said nothing I felt singularly hopeless. My father rose and dismissed me. "Think it well over, my dear Cathie," he said. " D.'n't try to decide at once. Mr. Vane is willing to wait any reasonable time for an answer to this proposal. 1 need sca:cely tell you what my opinion is con- cerning your true interests. eju,may never receive such an*i ffer again, I beg you to re- mi mber. In the meantime I have given Mr. Vane permission to exime here as often as he pleases." I reise to leave the reiom, aud my heart was sore within me, but it softened towards my father when the light fell strongly on his hair, fast turning whit«, and I noticed once again bow ill and care-worn he looked.

It is V ain to potter about his genealogi ca? tree or try and connect him with the freat and good of bye-gone centuries. No oubt, indualiious ant quarians could trace his detcent from the Irish Kings, and conld prove to a demonstration that at tho time of the flood his progenitor of the day had a yacht of bis own. Truth leaves that con- genial work to coming members of the great family of Dryasdust, and thinks it saSicient in the meantime to confe-s to aa great an amount of ignorance in reference to the doings and sayings of the Humes and the B'akes in all their ramifications, septs, aod settlementa, as those ef the Poops and the Nincoms, who slso had large branches in Ireland, some of whom emigrated to, and have taken firm and permanent root in this new land. The business is not with Mr. Blake's forefathers, but with himself, for he ia not to be tpjken of as if he were a potato, with by far the best part under the ground, aud likely to remain there. He has no need to fall back upon his fore fathers to show his right to something like recog- nition and h( nour, and so let them pass. De- c«nt respectable people, no doubt ibey were in their d^y, who duly transmitted some of the phyrfcal vigcur, and mental and moral peculiarities to those who came after them, but were nothing in any wsy so remarkable but that after having served their day and generation, they do not rightfully fall asleep and n main undisturbed, by either profes- sional biographers, or word painters, who can make commonplace, fcublime, or colour respectability, heroic, at so much the column or the hour, or the yard as the case may be. If Edward Blake cai not make any great show geneslogically, be can do something better, for he can claim n ancestry of mo- dest goodness, and while lis father madefer himself a local reputation, as he did, be himself ha« no need, as some sons unforiu- nately have.to faU back upon, and live on its conditions as his only heritage, an-l his one exclusive merit. He is not exactly the Kodolph of his family, but he might as well have been, for he has nsither riten nor dees he continue to stand, because he is his fa- ther's son. It would be difficult to wax eloijuent over the stumps of Adelaide Township, or a des- criptive sketch of the log cabin, in whieb Edward Blake first saw the light. All t ha«^, will come in due time, and has partly come aire: dy, and has even again bet n bui ied and forgotten. Suffic.ent to know, that almost from first to last, Mr. BUke has been a citi- zen of Toronto, and has gradually come to be both a celebrated and an honoured one. There was, so far as traditii n goes, no spe- cial prececity about his early years. He grew up in propitious circumstances a vig- orous healthy boy and lad, with cothing of the proiigy about l.im and with nobody, as far as can be seen or le: reed, dream'ng dresms about his futuie grea'ness, or making him outfsthe " coming mar," (d a coming race.

Eeady on this accoant to flatter the vain, to curtirate the vulgar, and to bear even with the foolish and the presumptuous. If Mr. Blake oould bring himself to do this, there is nothing in the way of practical and even theoretic stat- esmanship, whioh he might not hope to ac- hieve. BntwiUhe? Canhe? That is the qnea tion I that's the difllenlty. Never had a man a larger, or more earnest body of the youth, aye, and of the old too, of the land, willing to be led, anxious that he should be the leader. But will he do it T Are his hab- iU, his peculiarities, hia very excellencies such that he can do so, even though he wished? The time for answering that momentous question in any way but one, is quickly slipping past. While he dalliM with law, and lets politics drift, the fine edge of hope is being dulled enthusissin subsides more or lessl disappointment supervenes. And the party is still a chaos, more or less comforting itself with a Macawber policy, of waiting for the something to turn up, if with any at alL What is to be the issue Who shall say In the meantime, even B1- ward Blake cannot be a great lawyer and a great politician at the same time. To at- tempt this, is to fail, and for him to fail now, is to fail for ever, »â-  • • • • A Benevolent "Old Salt ' On a certain winter's day, not many years since, an uncommonly cold northwestern blistered the Atlantic coast. Over toward the sand-dunes which protect a particular bay from tho tea a man is fighting his wsy across the frozen suiface in the face of the bitter gale. His objective is a house on the midland near the shore. The contrast be- tween the luxurious warmth and coziness of the interior of this bouse and the cold deso lation which prevails without would furnish mple materisl for themodem artistic " sym- phony " in color. After a hard struggle the man reaches the shore under his arm flut- ters a paper parcel. He enters the kitchen of this particular house, and with merely a nod to the cook seats himself in silence by the fire. He is perhaps sixty years of «gc â€" an ancient mari- ner whom many battles with the elements have rendered uncommonly reticent and un- communicative. His head is bald, but an enormous tuft upon the chin makes amends for this deficiency, and adds to the grim so- lemnity of his appearance. At a recent re- vival, after fifty years' practical contempla- tion of life in various portions of the globe, he experienced religion. Friends and his dead wife's mother had hoped that under this soothing ii fiuence he might deveic p more genial methods of expression but he was a man, as we have said, in whom exper- ience had confirmed a ratural reticence. When the moment arrive d in which by some sign or word of month he was, before the assembled multitude, to show his ripeness for grace, a great silence fell on the congre- gation. With no change of countenance he arese in hisplae^, faced to the northeast, the point from which he had always t ncounter- ed the hardest gale^, and roared out, as if addietsing a man at the mast-head, " Look a here I f want religion, and I'm bound to have it " This said, he dropped back into seat, silent, and Krim. No change was ob- served in his depoitment he had ratisfied the exigencies of the conventioBsl village life. Under no iiflucnce could he be induced to alter or foften the angles of his brief but emphatic vocabulary. On the lart icularly cold 'day which I have mentioned he was AXf AMD PKAMATIO VOTES- Ou Bull bMwd th tool J ti ing offensive, and never tempted him to p'ay the bully or the tyrant, he lei his freej oung life, the very reverse of a prig, but also the antipodes of a mere idler. No s'ave to the m'dnight oil, yet with a large capacity for work, and for a time, at any rat" doing that work rather by spurts than by steady systematiz- d application, he at last graduated with honours, but without any ffluence of scholarship or auy great weight of varied and curious learning. Liv- ing, henceforth, a busy professional and puolic life, he has not been in a position to add greatly to his early stores of scholastic acquirement, and is now to be speken of not as a ripe scholar, but as a scholarly lawyer, a clear thinker, an elexjuent speaker, an emi- nent statesman, aod a generally accomplish- ed man. Professionally, Mr. Blake's career has been one of unbroken and remarkable sue cess. Ae came to the front tank among his legal brethren almrst from the very first, and in his own special department has now for a long time and universally, been recog- nized ta Jaci/e j)TinCi-jii rinong the gentlemen of the Dominion learned in the law. That in certain respects he has been as successful politically will also be generally acknowledged, but still in this his triumphs have not been so conspicuous, and his future is neither so brilliant nor so secure. To a greater or less extent he has been in public life for rather more than thirteen years, and during all that time has occupied a very prominent place in the general politic of Canada, as well as in the more lo»l dis.us- sions of his own Province. That he has done geeid and fruitful work during all that time is beyond anything like reasonable dis- pute. As leader of the Beform Opposition in the Local House, and for a season first Minister ot the Crown in Ontario, he made his mark, and the record he has left is both a fair and an honourable one. As a memlier of the House of Commons, aod one of the Reform Dominion Uovcrnment, it has not been Mr. Blake's lot to play so conspicuous or ii flueutial a part. His reputation in that position, as a debater, has remained undim-, med, and his f.iculty for departmental work has also been equally conspicuous, but the state of his health for a long portion of the time has been unsatisfactory, and may have helped to give an unsettled and genet ally a somewhat disappointing character to his proceedings. It may be laid that his posi- tion was somewhat anomalous, but in what respects it was so to auy greater extent than that of auy of his associates does not very easily appe tr. That he was in the highest de- gree loyal to Mr. Mackenzie his political leader, will not be questioned by any one sufficiently a quaiuted with the facts to be justified in expressing an opinion on the subject. But at the s;.me time it is undeniable that the Mackenzie Government did not receive that amount of strength and encouragement which mieht have been reckoned on from Mr. Blake's presence and reputation. Per- haps it is after all a fact that P9litics have not any very special charms for a man of Mr. Blake's temperament and tastes. He can go into the work and do the very best service pewsible when he is at it. But it is doubtful if he is ever fairly at home in its details and if he does not always turn with pleasure and a sense of reliet from its neces- sary drudgeries. He is not a master in the small arts necessary to secure a certain kind of very useful popularity. He can never be hail geod fellow well met to every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the political wigwam, and has no faculty for per:iuading even the feebles of the lot that he is individually perfectly indispensable. In reality he is not cold, but unfortunately he has a goeid deal of a cold exterior, and while his seeming Jkobtnir is â- nore to be set down to shyness than superci- lious contempt, the great mass of those whom it is a political leader's interests to conciliate, will never be able to comprehend how such a man as Edward Blake can be bashful, and will therefore persist in the belief that he is proud, if not positively insolent. It is a misfortune that he is short- sighted, and even his reputation as a master of sarcatm makes his friends sometimes nervous to as great an extent as it makes his opi^nents poaitively timid. He is now in name, as well as in fact, leader of the Kefoi m party, and it remains to be seen whether he can remarshal its somewhat broken ranks, and lead the reorganiz'.d battalions again to victory. His friends have great hopes. It is but the simp'e fact that his oppenents have not very great fears about the issue. A political leader to be succetsful must be no- thing else. It will take all his time and Ux all Lis energies to master all the detaila of the situation, to study individual ohaiacteri, to watch and gnide the several cnrrenta of thought aod action, to keep himaeU fully (â-  raffCTt with the leaders of his par^, and carefully to master and oonnter about him, which never got the length of be-^ moved by anotbei' sentiment, fOr snugly tucked in' blankets on the upter floor of the house in which he was tlwn tested, a newly born infant lay sleeping. From the mother, surroundeel by every attainable luxury and comfort, this ancient nariner had i nee ac- cepted a signal service, for which, up to this time, he hid never given any sign of appre- ciative -ri cognition. On this occ.TS'on for twenty minutes or more he sat by the fire grimly luminating. Finally he started up, and tall ing from under his arm the package w hich he had thus jealously guarde.t during the entire session, he advanced and placed it on the table. " Look a here," he aid to the coe k, "I understand Y 's woman" {Anijl'ce wife) " is hove to with a baby "â€"here he paused, and nodded assent to his own statement, in the direction of the northeast. " Look a here " (confideotiallj ), "wimminis mighty on^artain at them times, so I fetched this 'ere off the beach, a-thinkin' she might like suthin' sorter tasty. " This said, he reseated himself in solemn silence by the fire. An examination of the " tuthin' sorter tasty," which w. s enveloped in a thoroughly thumb- ed copy of the county paper, revealed a well- sanded salt mackerel â€" a waif washed on the beach from a recent wreck off the cewst. Tbe Czar's Bride. The Emperor Alexander had been in love with the princess Dolgorouki for moie than twelve years. He first met her at the resi- dence of her sister-in-law, the priuciS) Dol- gorouki- Vulcano, a most honorable Neapoli- tan. Struck with the grace of tbe princess Catharine, a blcmde of charming simplicity and great beauty, the emperor declared his luve, and the affair soon became the talk of St. Petersburg. He established her in ap.'.rtu.ents on the English quay, and here he his visited almost daily for the past ten years to seek solace in her society from the cares and worries of state affairs. The pain- cess Djlgorouki has given birth to several children, all of them being authorized by im- perial ukase to bear the titles of Cunt and Countess de Gouriue, the name ofthe xtinct branch of the Romanoffs. The princess fol- lowed the emperor to tbe bank-i of the D.in- ube under thr name of Mme. IMcjer during the late war with Turkey. Oi course the empress knew all about it, but her ma'ady aod the coldness of her nature caused her to shut her i yes to the real state of the case. But when the izar desired tolegitimafiz the princess' children, the empress, the czare- witch, and the grand duke declined to ac- cede. The CzariLS dctei mined to Icive Rus- sia aud find at Cannes a relu.e from the io- lult offered her. The csarewit.h avoided the winter pala e as much as tostible. Tbe influence of the Princess Dolgorouki grew d^iily stronger in the czar's hcusehold. Toe emperor yielded to completely to its farcin- nations, that he even showed ai xii ty to ob- tain a divorce from the empress aud to mairy the princess. Now that the marriage in ac- complished, it is almo t cer ainly of the kind known as" morganatic," in which the bride stipu'ates that the and her ebildr. n will neither assume the rank nor iuberit the pos- sesiions of the husband. These alliances are not over frequent, but the Ewopt Dip'.oma- tiguc occasionally furnuhes us with a list of such marriages entered into by the prii.»s of the royal house of Europe. Besides Vic- tor Emminuel, Leopold 1., of Belgium, and Fre'.erick VII., of Denmark, the latest 1st embraces some fifteen princes' n mes, a large mnjority of whom belong to the rcignine house of Germany and Austria.

A KKVIVAL of the ancient Greek drama, similar to the one at Oxford last year, will be attempted at Harvard C«llege next spring. The play to be presented is the " lEdipus Tyrannus" of Sophocles.

The Boston Herald says that tome of the bills which Woodward had to meet were for breakage in hotels when his wife got drunk.

" Not a trace of self-consciousness is ever percepti- ble in his manner, which is always «if;nified and self-possesseel, like one who feels him- self the master. His voice is clear and full and rich, and you find yourself canstantly looking for it, especially toward tbe last, when the musical tones are full of anguish or tender expostulation and disappointment as he says to bis sleeping disciples, ' Could ye not watch with me one hour?'" Jtnlat was even better acted. Of him she says â€" " I «n see him now so plainly as be walked ihe stage ringing his hands in his despair, and catching at his long gray hair he la- mented his tolly and with bitter cries moan- ed for the dear friend he had betrayed."

On the whole, Mrs. Holmes thinks that the perfomiauce, while far below a respectable professional standard, was remarkable for amateurs. i^ mmm m- The Orotto Under Mount Rossi, Sicily. The eruption of Mount Etna iu 1669, says La Nature, was the most fomiiilable of his- toric tinier The side of the mountain ojien- eU for a length of about four miles, and there issued from it a torrent of lava four milea broad, which, after destroying several villages, and half ofthe city" ofCatane, flowed into the se-a and formed a promontory- two miles long by half a mile wide and sixty feet high. At the same time the scoria and sand tiirown out by the craters formed a mountain vrith a double crest, that was at first called Monti della Rovina, and later Monti llossi, on account of the reddish color that the scoria from the two crests assumed through the oxidation of the iron contained in it. The higher of the two crests is abopt 800 feet above Etna, and about 8.000 feet above the sea. In the interior of the cone of Mount Rossi there are two immense ex- tinct craters, exhibiting the characteristic funnel-shape, and the sides of which are formed of scoria in a decomposing state. Up to 1823 no one had had the curiosity to de- scend to the bottom of these craters butat this period the intelligent obaerver, Mario Gemellaro, undertook their exploration- He saw with some saqirise a horizontal aperture at the bottom of one of the cavities, and en- tering it with a torch, he found, after traver- sing a suite of corridors |reaembling the gal- leries of a mine, a large well, into which he caused himself to be lowered by means of ropee. At some feet from the bottom of this well he found a vs.st rectangnlsr room, at the further end of which there was a passage which grew smaller and smaller, and at last became impassable. This remarkable grotto, which was named Grotto della Palombe, is dtoated exactly in the centre of Monti Roesi It haa now been open to travellers, the de- cent being facilitated by a stairway, and the cavern being illuminated by magnesium light instead of the former resinoos torches.
