Bemardijia's „Loier, Mi fe t »T IXCI9E ALEXASflDEK.^* fl " Well, what do you make rf it T* aaked Mr. Jack Mannder, .as he laid down his brush and palette and '-fblded his arms, as though to brace himself fd^ith* |r«^y " Not much," faid arvcvypMtfy 7001% lady, as she closed her b'«{Qi%45ilIcdit- fnl little yawn, a^id Witk botk^jniwiess hands rumpled her btonidv hsateB SlA^f all theiz smooui ajiav^f^i ' '^f ^WVU^e ther monieler at ninety," she murmnred, " the gifted heroine was a toifle fatijguing we are informed she is epigrammatic without hearing any of her smart sjteeehes tbea the hero â€" evidently he is the lone-haiiied^oet of the future â€" but with none oT his poetry on exhibition. Bv the way, Jack," su44enly turning ugoiB nim eyes ikat^were like blue flowers, "what interest had you in the book?" " None in the world," said Mr. Maun- der, mxosely, " except that I «rroteit." " Why, you clever old boy," exclaimed the young lady, ronsinff into animation at this announcement. "Then there must be something in it," she said, cheeringly, "else they would not have published it, would they You didn't have to pay them to print it, did you Jack " But Mr. Maunder, under this soothing criticism, was rapidly packing up his art- ist's paraphernalia, wiui an accession of gloom, patent to Bemardina's blue eyes â€" "cle^ windows where observation sat laughingly." " I think you are not very polite, Mr, Maunder," she said, with pointed formality, " to leave my questions tuianswered, when I have made myself quite stiflf, posing for " Titania " all the morning." " You are always laughing at me, Dina," remonstrated the young fellow, in a tone of sulky complaint, which produced an exag- gerated appearance of penitence in the in- corrigible Miss Bay. " On the contrary," she said, with a wicked little gleam of the blue ey^es, "I feel a sort of reflected glory in bavins the honor of your acquaintance, you delightful dilettante young man." So Mr. Maunder pulled at his moustache in a wrathful state of indecision, and swal- lowed his resentment as best he might. He was a tall, slender young gentleman, with a sufficient share of masculine good looks to subjugate the average feminine fancy â€" a course of conquest he had been wont to pursue, until Bemardina Ray had revolutionized all his past experience. She was so entirely unlike every other day lady he had hitherto encountered, with her deli- cious, tormenting frankness, and gay spirit of mischief. That she lived, in a different world from his own, was only an added al- lurement to the already infatuated Mr. Maunder. What moments of intoxicating Uiss he had spent within that little A-ine-covered cottage, where dwelt Bemardina and her widowed mother or better still, the hours passed upon the grassy slopes out side, while he painted Bemardina as Titania among the fairies, but in reality she resem- bled more a Dresden shepherdess in bisque, with her intense blue eyes and finely-grain- ed complexion. Already Mrs. Maunder, whirling away the summer days at Newport, had received faint intimations of her son's latest infatuation, and apprehension became confirmation strong as proofs of Holy Writ, when Jack boldly expressed his request that Miss Ray should receive an invitation to his mother's garden fete. On the whole, Mrs. Maunder, with all her exclusive patrician pride, concluded to con- cede this card to Miss Ray, if only as an ex- pedient by which she might be enabled to criticise this rustic beauty. Her son was undoubtedly an emotional young man with an artistic tendency, and a susceptibility to the charms of young maidenhood, particularly alarming to the mother who adored him. And if her maternal solicitude was of a somewhat worldly chaiacter, she had prov- ed her confidence in her only son by an al- lowance so liberal, that obviously nothing more practical could have been expected of him in the way of achievement, that a few paintings of dubious commercial value, or a trifling little rhyme now and again for one of the magazines. Mr. Maunder had displayed much di- plomacy about obtaining the invitation to the garden party but his sense of complac- ent satisfaction was changed to something very like dismay, when, he discovered there were futher obstacles ahead. "I suppose a faded blue organdy, or a white one of remote antiquity, would not be exactly appropriate for your mother's lawn " said Bemsa^iina, with less than usual of her gay good humor. Somehow that bit of fMustebioard had opened vistas of exhilara- ting possiblilities .to Bemardina, shut up in her world of books and maiden dreams as she had been, until the chance advent of this deferential young prince of the gay outer world. He had won over the quiet mother, by the charm of his frank yontuulness and courte- ous bearing, and to Bemardina he had come as a revelation of youth and congenial com- radeship. The summer days had drifted on witii ever-increaaiiig confidences between these two, and that perfect absence of constraint which a more conventional acquaintance might have engendered. Scarcely a day passed withoiit their meeting, and to-day Mr. Maunder was intent upon gaining hu point. Bemardina should go to the JeU. " Beauty is ISke a rich stone, best plain set," he qaoted "^g^, ^th his young e^es looking nnnttemliia uungs. But Beraudina knit her pretty brows crossly. "Thanlcs," she said, shortly, " only I should prefer some of the beggmge of virtae, once in a way." And tiiea Bemardina kxdLed as though stM were quite out of patience with the " slings and arrows of outrageous for- tune. " Let me bay yon a dresa, Dina," said Jack audaciously, bat blushins the while at his own temeri^. "It would be a purely business affior. I am rare yoahave wasted cmoiu^ time, ponngfor 'l^taoia'" â€" "Thank you," said Bwnudina, as if she were not in the least obliged, however. " My self -respect is worth ever more to me than anew'dieH, Mr. Maunder." Bot thk loftfy sttitade was not natural to Miss Bay, and she was already a little as- hamed of hw ill- hnmor. " You are a good fellow. Jack," she said, unbending into a smile, and ext^^mg her Jttfed «^ a griMu uMw i t JMa rlHr Ihtim- der was not slow to acce^ with a servile and abject show of satisfaction. " I have read about girls making them- selves pictares««v9Vt of old fr|Bdo^lisi^- Mother," as that gentle lady appeared in the doorway " Have you any ancestors, or brocaded dresses, hiddea Away in yoar trunks up-stairs " " I fear not, my dear," 8«d the mother, smiling quietly, as her eyes always did when they rested on Bemardina. " But there are those dimify gownsi ,;^* h^e been lying away- ever .since you J^*re a baby, Dina â€" if they would be of any'jise." But Bemaxdina was already away. " You are worth a dozen ancestors, mother dew-," she cried gayly, as she disap- peared. Presently then, behold Mr. Maunder, seated modestly beside the window with a pair of scissors grasped firmly in his hand, and a mass of dimity before hun, prayerful- ly anxious to be helpful in the work of de^ molition for as Bemardina grandiloquent- ly put it, "dispatch was everything." That was a joyful week, with Jack and Dina running races down the seams, both of them in the wildest spirits, while ihe placid mother sat smiling as she sewed. vVhat would have been Mrs. Maunder's emotions, could she have beheld her son at the mercy of this young Delilah "Now be candid with me. Jack," said Bemardina, upon the eventful Thursday, as she turned slowly and seriously about for Mr. Maunder's inspection. " Do I look amateurish Have I a home-made appear- ance?" with a consuming anxiety in her blue eyes, and an evident distrust of her own charms. "I have a painful misgiving that it r»][uires to be pulled tight in front, to make it fit right in the back and vice versa," she went on, with a somewhat ner- vous laugh, while Jack pulled at his mous- tache, and looked profound. "In other words, it fits too much," agreed Jack, with a suspicious readiness of assent. " Then you show very bad manners to say so," said Bemardina, with some inconsis- tency, but great spirit. But her indigna- tion soon m^ted under the stress of weight- ier emotions. " And I have a burning doubt about the set of this off sleeve," she resumed, returning to her anxieties under the exigencies of the occasion. " Now, Jack, I put it to you, as a man and a brother â€" ^is uiere not a suspicion of bagginess in that sleeve " with a bewitch- ing backward glance over her shoulder. But Jack, having learned discretion, was not to be entrapped a second time. He raved over the success of their united ef- forts, and appealed to Mrs. Ray to sustain the veracity of his statements and when he had exhausted bis vocabulary, rather sheepishly he produced a slender parcel and proceeded to unfurl a handsome sun- shade. But Bemardina speedily relieved him of his misgivings. " Why, you delightful creature " she cried, with her blue eyes smiling dark and brilliant from beneath the lace border of the parasol. "You have quite restored. my self-respect, and made it possible for me to fancy myself one of Worth's confection'" So Bemardina ate her former words with perfect cheerfulness, and was whirled away to the^efe in a state of complacency, second only to Mr. Maunder's sense of satisfac- tion. Arrived at the scene of festivity, people were not slow to discover this new beauty, who was the obvious object of Mr. Maun- der's devotion. If the ladies were inclijied to be critical about tbe set of her gown, the men found no such barrier to their admira- tion â€" and in point of fact, B^nardina did look sufficiently charming in her simple ceam-white gown, with folds of tulle caress- ing the white column of her throat, and the big bunch of roses beneath her dimpled chin vying with the color in her cheeks. For once at least Bemardina drained the intoxi- cating cup of social success, with a gay and whole-hearted enjoyment which some pro- nounced the perfection of art, and the mas- culine element declared to be adorable. But it was over and next morning poor Jack had to hear his sister's criticisms at breakfast. " Fancy my feelin«^," said the eldest Miss Maunder, with oignity, appealing to her mother for sympathy "when I show- ed her Jack's picture of 'The Sylph,' she asked me if I did not think the legs re- sembled champagne bottles â€" and half a dozen people standing around. " " If I knew her better," said another Miss Maunder, stifling a yawn, " I should advise her to change her mantuamaker." But this was too much for Jack's equa- nimity. Before his mental vision arose a picture of Bemardina, â- with her pretty per- plexed face and hopeful gayety, whue she planned and contrived the costume which these worldlings now would criticise. " Mother and sisters," he said rising man- fully to the occasion, " I should like you to know that the lady you are discussing I in- tend, if possible, to make my wife.'" And then he was gone, leaving this thunderbolt behind him. But his head was in a whirl as he tookthe well-known road to Bemardina's. He would ask her to marry him that very morning â€" his pretty darling, who was worth a dozen of those cold-hearted ponventional creatures but he wodld let theto-lseeâ€" he didn't exactly know what, but he kept up his resolution, until he had poured out his heart at Bemardina's feet./ Bat Branardina took the recital 'very coolly. " Shaaid yon feel jostifled In inar- rying against your mother's wisheSt, .vrhen you are dependent upon her bounty?" she dpnwnded a little scornfully, "i^y I in. qmh wbaHi oAer meainr yo« 1tat« to mlf^ upon, Mr. Maunder 7" She asked with a portiAitoas calm. Bat this was a practical qoestion i^ch vlrffafy discomfited Mr. Maunder, and tend- ed to check the floweiy ihetoric of his dec- laration. He even looked a little tooO^ "Ihavesomesortof arm^ in Viigima, bat IVe never seen it," he adaltted solkily, after a somewhat Uaok panso. And then the storm hrc^e. "Then my advice to yon is.

So they exchanged their views and vows of deathless faith and constancy, and then Jack went boldly forth, to wrestle with the virgin soil of Manitoba. And when Mrs. Maunder discovered that this astonishing development of manliness and independence in her only son was due to the influence of the spirited youM lady who would not marry him. otherwise, her opposition gave place to a genuine good feeling, which time and a closer acquaintance have not altered. Bemardina and Jack have been married now ten years. A littie procession of lads and lassies go tripping about the old farm- house, lie miniature copies of their blue- eyed mother. Jack has forsaken the fields of fiction for those of agricultural reform, and they are very happy. They have all grown to love their free, healthy home life, where Bernar- dina reigns, tiie" joyful mother of child- ren." In her.

(CoKTnnrsD.) Before we begin to talk about stoav bridges, let us name the diffisrent parts of an arch, as nearly all our stone bridges ara arched. The stones of which the arch is made are~ called voHssotrs. The one at the top is call- ed the be]fstone, and this point is called the teff or croum of the aroh. The lowest stoaes are called the sprtn^erA. The large three-coriMred spaces above the sides of the arch are called spandrels. The waUs or masses of masonry in the. s^ter, on which til* arches«ae i^opported, «t« caJlecT piers. Those wliidi aire Against J^b Wk ar«i called abumfitt, TKolowlnAiiUkh ia:lMHton CMch aide of the top of the bridge, to keop people from falling pfl^ is called the parapet. The distance between the ends of the arch is called the span. When ypu read that an arch is of fifty feet span, it means that a straight line between its ends would be fifty feet hng. An orainarr Inridge must be prepared for the attacks of four enemies first its own weight second, the stream that it spans third, the people who use it; fourth, the weather. It is sometimes a very nice problem to plan a bridge so that the weight of the stones will'ouike it stronger, and not wei^er. In order to be strong, an arch must have something' immovable to brace its feet against, and its crown must be as heavy that it will not be pushed up into the air by the pressure of the sides. Suppose two boys stand back to back, and spread out their feet, so that together they make a sort of letter A, or aroh. Sup- pose they are near the side of a hurge room, where the first boy can brace his feet against the wall. He will now find it very easy to maintain his position so kmg as the second boy cam maintain his. But the se- cond boy, with nothing to brace his feet against, will find it very tiresome no mat- ter how hard he digs them into the carpet, they will be in constant danger of slipping away. But now we wiU pat two more boys in similar position, and place them so that the feet of the second and the feet of the third will come twmbher and brace against each other. ^Hiis makes all the boys comfortable except the fourth. We will add another arch to our bridge by puting in two more boys, and now they are smiling except the nxth, who bites his lqs and wishes we would hurry up with the next aroh. So we put in two more boys, and then two more, till we have extendml our bridge entirely across the room, and the last boy can brace his feet against the wall. This makes everything secure. But suppose one of uese arohes is made of two small, light boys. What will happen? Why pretty soon the feet of the small boys will begin to give way and be pushed by the feet of the large boys pressed against them, till the smul boys are brought up standing, with their heels together as well as their backs, and the two arohes of large boys will have settled down in the same proportion. This will enable you to understand a dif- ficulty that is sometimes met in building a stone bridge of several arches. Of course the two end arohes will each brace one foot against the bank, which we may consider immovable. The piers may be so thick and heavy that of themselves they will sustain the pressure or "thrust, "as it is called, of the other sides of the arch. But sometimes it is necessary to make the piers so high and narrow they cannot' do this and if one areh were built at a time, ite pressure would push over the pier. If the arohes are all of the same size and form, and we buHd them all at once, they can brace their feet against each other and be just balanced. But some- times the formation of the bed of the stream is such that the piers cannot be placed at equal distances apart, and so. the arches can- not be all alike. Sometimes the balance is maintained by making the short spans lower arohes than long spans. In a low aroh the pressure is more outward than downward in a high aroh it is more down- ward than outward. In our bridge erf boys you will find that if two large boys forming an aroh stand nearly straight, spreading their feet tipart only a lituie way, while the small boys forming the next arch have spread their feet far apart and brought their bodies nearer to the floor, the two arches will balance just as would two equal arches of equal-sized^ boys. You see every one of these boys is sustained by two tilings: the floor, and whatever he braces his feet against. The straighter he stands, the more he is sustained by the floor and the less by the wall or the feet of the next boy the lower he.gets, the. less he is sustained by the floor and the more by the wall or the feet of the next boy. In other words, the straighter he stands (and consequently the higher aroh he makes), the more the thrust of that arch is downward when the lower he gets, tiie more its tiirust is outward. In ^e bridge we can also put an extra amount of stone over the small arohes but here we must drop our comparison, for we don't want to put any big stones on the head of small boys. Sometimes an arohsiust be very small, to make room for the water to pass in time of floods, and yet It is desirable io have the top of the bridge as low as possible, so that it will not be necessary for teams or trains to go up w dowiAin in passing over it. This nu^ee the niaaonnr ^ery tiiin *ad light at the (»own of the aron, and the weight of atone in the qiuidrels udght tiirow up the key. Occaaioud^i this ^Scfilty has been overcome by making tii6 spandrels hollow â€" tiiat is, by making* la^ round or arohed holes through them. This not only lightens them, bbt makes additional paMfs-way fee ihewstsr wh^ ittises high. 4 ^^ petty example of this is afforded by the Bridge of Pi^y Pyrdd, over the nverT(ff„ in Wales-, Of two bridges pre- vianab*arMladat«ys point, the first was carried away by a freahet, and the second fell b^ ite own weis^t, the masses of mas- ^y mthe spaadrds throwing up the key.
