The travellers had been received with effusion they had eaten, dianki and t::e home-ooming had been made pleasant to them. William Burgot, who had been at first strangely embarrassed and ill at ease, found his tongue and his lost confidence after drinkidg a glass or two of choice vintages tnat tad lain since his youth in the cellar of the Orange. The amiable manners of his sister- in-law particularly commended them- selves to hmi. He had hghtod her bed-room candle, and he said "good- night" to her once. But he still held her Land in his. whilst he made a Ut- tle speech expressive of gratification. "I think it only right to tell you, Mrs. Burbot " "Gall me Mr*. Robert it sounds more brother- like," she iBtOTposed plaintiyely. "Mrs. Robertâ€" that I am igiaMlTy surprised and delighted at tl^ kind reception you and Miss Clara Dfcilas have accorded to my daughter aud my- self. I had feared that natural disap- pointment at the provisions of my lato brother's will " The little hand he had made a pris- oner squeezed his fingeis slightly its fellow raised to Mrs. Robert's eyes a square of embroidery, called by cour- tesy a handkerchief. "I trust, William â€" I may call you Wilham, may I not ?â€" I trust misfor- tune will never render me unjust. I do not grudge you the good fortune which might have been mine. I have sufficient wealth for my own simple requirements and for Clara's. I have but one thing to regret." "And what is that, Mrs. Robert " ' 'The loss of a home. For five years William, I have been led to believe, by him' who is gone, poor fellow, that in this house I should end my days. He made a will by which I was pLiced precisely in your present position, and Clara in that of dear Viola. We shall not feel the loss of fortune, but it will be a bitter wrenoh to leave the old heme." "Why should you leave it Mrs. Robert?" The widow's white fingers fluttered a little in his detaining grasp, and she darted at him firom her pale eyes as reproachful a look as they were cap- able of emitting. 'â- I trust you do not think, William, that, because Clara and I remained to welcome you to the Qrange, and to order the household for a day or two until Yiola has quite recovered from the fa ague of her journey and is able to relieve ns of the responsibility, it is intention to intrude upon your »way, I shaU Ket no beauty- deep â€" a thing women of my antiquity cannot afford to diepense with. Once more, good night'" .^ Blowing him a kiss firom the tips of ber white fingers. Mrs. Robert swept gracefully from the room. Very jubi- lant was her face as she climbed the broad staircase, troubled only by a passinir reflection that, by playing hor cards still better, she might perhaps have won, not only free maintenance for herself and Clara, but alao a slight addition to their income. She paused t^ the young lady's door, thinking to impart the glad tid- ings. The sound of murmuring voices betokened that Clara was not aloue. Then the widow sank gracefallj to a kneeling position upon the soft mat by the door, and applying herUttle ear to the keyhole, listened long and intently. When she arose, there was a satisfied smile upon Ler lips and m her colourless eyes. "Of course they are becoming the beat ot friends," she murmured, as she went softly along the corridor to- wards her own room. "Dear Clara knows on which side her bread is but- tered, and will not exhibit to my niece the mood which alarms me. Witli care and tect, we may still reign at Borgot Grange as though it belonged to us. As for the present owner, he is handsome, he seems amiable, and I shall be able, I feel sure, to twist him round my finger. How vexations that, in this prejudiced country, a woman cannot marry her deceased husband's brother!" aannst uaa rant No our boxes aie pack are rMdy to depart the ti^rn^ our hospitaUty. ed. and we instant " •'But why should yon depart?" said William Burgot argumentatively. "The Grange is large enough for all of us, and it will be much more cheer- ful for an extra bmate or two. Viola must have so^nebody to chaperon her in fact, we are both of as so ignorant, owing to lonff reeidenee abroad, of the usages of English country-life, that it will be of inestimable service that some kind friend should point out mistakes and ahort-eonmgs. Yon may not be aware. Mr». Robert, that I onee had, whilst serving in India, a mild attack of sunstroke, which left my mem»7 very hazy eouoeming all pcior evento." Mrs. Robert was not aware, but was intenaelv rympathetie, if the ex- preeaion of bar pnttyfMe oonldbe trusted. Inwardly she waa wondanng why her brother in-law eo nf ases d so sheep- ishly to thia attack ofsanataoke, aa though it bad htmo a erioM.

" He bad resumed the ehair from which he had risen to biu her "good night." At his elbow were a stend of liqueurs and a glass partly filled with potent epirit, to which be had not yet added the complement of water. Between liis lips was a cigar which be had unconsciously, after a few wbiffs, permitted to go out, whilst in his right hand he held the stelk of a consumed fuzec, regarding it with eyes that saw not. "I should like to look at the old home," said William Burgot, thought- fully. He consulted his wateh the hands pointed to eleven o'clock. He went to the window, and, drawing aside the curtains, watehed a white moon risiug in a jewelled dome. Behghting his cigar, and emptying at a draught that partly-filled glass of potent spirit, Wil- hau Burgot passed into the hall and began to don a thick overcoat before the eyes of the wondering butler, who was so astonished that he forgot to ar- sist him. "I am going out of doors to smoke my cigar," said William Burgot. "I shall return in half an hour or so." "Yon must be careful not to lose your- self," answered the butler respectfully. Remlling some of the late owner's eo- eentrieities. he had begun to tell him- self that such freaks as these must be expected of every Burgot. "Lose myself " said his master. I know every inch of this whole estete, man, as' well as you know the pimples on your face." "Beg pardon, sir, I'm sure," re- joined ^e butler humbly. He was vexed to the soul at that al- lusion to his pimples and, having op- ened and closed the outer door, he went into the servante' hall and abused a sleepy footman with virulence. Meanwhile William Burgot, passing roimd the Grange, struck into ite background of woods, with assurance which proved that bis boast of know- ing every inch of the old estate was no idle one. It did not ooour to hun that this knowledge might be difficult to recon- cile with the haziness of his memory conoeming all evente prior to his at- tack of sunstroke. By windmg rarely -trodden ways, under bare bkek branches gloomily ont-l^ed againat a gloomy sky, aeroes opea grassy glades upon which the hoar-froet sparkled in the moonlieht, want the lutater of Borgot Grange, the proud poeseasor ef eatates yielding. r^nt-roU of fifteen thousand poundis per annum, imtO he came to a cottage bi the woodâ€" a eottage that was btOe better tlm a beaf of raina.

But with all ite inconsistenc- ies, trout and grayling love it and old Isaac Walton might, with great contentment, have thought out a few chapters of his GompUU AngUr beside ite shallow reaches and shady pools. One of his disciples was strolling along ite banks this bright July morn- ing. He was a man in a shootiug- ooat and knickerbockers of brown vel- veteen hia shoulders were broad and his legs diapely and, if he had tried to man faimsdf look like a keeper, tiie attatept was a dead fulnre. If Claude, Lord Armidale, donned the rags af tbe filthiest beggar who ev- er tramped along tl*e high roads of Great Britain, he would still Icok an aristocrat. He had half filled his basket, al- though he had, at storting, grumbled like a Briton tio the boy who earned his landing-net that the water was too clear aud the wind was not in the right quarter. But he had reached tlie last of his mortgaged acres, aud did not like the notion of "trying back" again, although a toard warned him concisely that "Poachers and tresspassers will be im prisoned withaut tbe option of a fine." "I think I will teke my chance of that," commented Lord Armidale gravely tlien a yision of the embar- rassment of his brother-magistrates when he should appear before them as a poacher and a trasspaaser, caused his blue eyes to laugh for an instant. The vision faded, and the silent laugh died ont all too suddenly. Those blue eyes of his, which Viola had once likened to ItaUan skjes or the shifting waters of the bay, were sadder than in the old days when be had lain down at her feet amongst the wild flowers and tangled weeds to spend an idle hour. There was little other change m him to toll that five years had come and gone since then. Perhaps the gold m bis hair was a shade darlier, his face a shade more sanbumt than of yore. Perhaps his broad (shest was a shade deeper and may be a stone in weight had been add «d to that lean muscular frame. "Tbe new man seems a decent fel- low," pursued Lord Armidale, in medi- totion, as he threw his fly with prac- tised celerity within a small expanding circle in the centre of which a great fish had just risen. "I must return his call this afternoon, and suggest a mutual understanding that we fish each other's waters. Ah, I thought so.'" The ejaculation was one of triumph. The great fish, espying that tiny mar- vel of silk and feathers alighting with- in a foot of hu nose, had come at it with a greedy, (^n-mouthed eager- ness, and, ns he dived for his cool shady retreat amongst the rooto, was bnm^t back, aUnost witboni a strug- gle, to the Burlaoe. Then a contest began, whioh drove all thonghte of aftenioon calls from the fisherman's mind for the next five mmutes, and which ended in a ma- terial addition to the weight of the morning's spoils, after which the ang- ler return^ to the contemplations which were incompatible with the more active experiences of Ins recrea tion. "I must call and renew my acqnain ance with 'dear Clara.' I wonder whether a trout knows sometimes the exact intentions of the biped on the bank, and gees examining with sheer BuperciUouB curiosity, and no- thing more, every cunning bait that is thrown to him, until, he never quite realizes how, ho is artfully struck and landed. Upon my soul I am not quite Bure whether 'dear Clara' would not have landed me,had I not fled quite beyond sight of the flies she thirew. Confound it all I I missed that fellow â€" all Clara's fault. Try it again, my finny friend." {Tu bt Continued. Othm MfAiAIlM Mniai nan ia alaxatayetenwi wboaJie enters tlie ranlfffcbsiqf innredtoecMPha t t here- i^f!^it^ good aoldiar.

FUNNY SCENE ON AN ACCOM- MODATION TRAIN. A very amusing incident oocnred on a Fort Wayne railway lately. Just before one of the accommodation trains pulled out from the Federal station, a well-dressed and very resp- ectable looking individual, slightely the worse of a little "tarn," entered the car. and approaching a lady who was- occupying part of a seat, and said: â€" "Madam, is th (hie) is seat token " The lady very pleasantly answered, "No sur." "Madam, may I (hie) sit down " '•Yes. sur.you may." The boosy individual took a seat, and in a few momente the train start- ed. He sat seemingly contented aud happy for a few minutes. All at once he threw his arms about his fellow traveller, and kissed her vehemently several times. Several passengers in the crowded car at this relaxed their features, 'i'be fellow kept up his oving method of procedure and the lady appeared to be resitting him as best she could. Finally a number of tbe most deter- mined of the passengers made a simultaneous bounce for the bossy man. One individual raised a window and it looked as if the fellow was go- ing to hunt terra firma, when he sud- denly seemed to toke in the situation. "What doos yi (hicj yon fellows want " The only answer waa a more deter- mined efiTcoi to hft the r^peaker from his place. Then the oUier occupant of the seat turned and took part in the eon versa tion â€" "Gentlemen," she said, "this is my husband." "Ohâ€"" The man and his wife had entered the car before any of the other pas- sengers, and he bad gone out for re freshmente. When he returned, feel* ing very humorous, he addressed his partener in such a tone that everybody could hear him. as though she was a stranger, aud that's what fooled them. NATURE MAKES NO MISTAKES.

However physiologiste may question' the importance of the feeble utterance of the dymg, it is certain thiit mau- kiud in general find a deep signifi- cane in the last words of those who are vanishing into the unknown hfe. "He raves " said the pliyfiiciRU, when Dr. Adams, rector of fhc high school at Edinburgh, was passing away but. as we catch the last words of the raving, our own eyes are dim- med "It grows dark, boys," streteh- iug forth his hand "you may go." "All my possessinns for a moment of time I" moaned Queen Elizabeth. Wesley, calmer, said as he died, "The best of it all is. God is with us." And deaf Beethoven, whose soul had ever been filled with harmony, ex- claimed gladly, at the last, "I shall hear." "Is your mind at eEsc " Goldsmith was asked by his physicianc. "No, it is not," was the moruful repily, and he spoke no more. How different{the parting words of Dr. Wm.

Or the assuraucu of I'roKideut Ed- wards, as his dying grusp ioosoued on hard forms of dogma "Trust in God and you need uot fear." Byron said, wearily, "I must sleep now." Goethe, toruiug to his wife, called for "Light, more light " Dr. Johnson died in aturault of uneasiness and bread. Cowpcr sank to rst as peacefully as a child.

And snrdy something was forgiven of Charles the Second when he bade farvell to eartha pemp and wiokedneaain "Don't let poor NeUie atarve." Heller's last words were, feeling bis own pulse, "The artery ceases to beat." Petrarch died suddenly and silently in his library, his hand upon a book, and Sis Isaac Newton was winding his watch when he was usher- ed into the life that hath uo end. Talma, the great actor, exclaimed pitifully as he wenti "The worst .of all 16, 1 cannot see." John Locke mur- mured, "Oh, the depth of the ritihetf of the goodness and knowledge of God.
