At dinner Mrs. Clanrioarde was seat) next to Anthony Harford ; and on her. as on every one, his wonderful manner of reserve and dignity made the sharp impression of a new experience.

For sell that. be was not sure. for he felt for her differently from what he had ever felt for any woman in his life before ; and he wus not quite able to analyze his own sensations. Nor did he know her mind. She was sweet and friendly and gracious as c Wingless angel might be. But how shoot the woman ? He fancied that her cheeks had taken a doc or color when he came upon her sudden y in the lens. that her e as looked both brighter and softer when tl’iry met his; that. when he entered the room this evening. that inner kind of smile which tells of secret pleasure had come over her face like so much sunlight. He fancied all this ; he did not know. The reserve of a modest English girl makes divination difiicult. Anthony was no lop. and he wee afraid to think that these shadowy signs meant more than so many accidents with which he had really no vital connection. And how beautiful she looked tic-night i Not with the beauty which stirs n men's senses or mounts like strong wine to his bin]. but with the beauty that onlms while it inspires, that brings the glory of heaven down to the earth for sweet sustenance and illumination. Anthony thought her again and again the lcveliet lady he had ever «on. and wondered with increasing wisti’nlnoee what she thought of him. and whether aha liked him below the surface. and not only just upon it.

In the Dominion law they had lmprisoument provided for bribery at Dominion elections. and there was more bribery at the general elections than at the provincial.

Mr. Meredith followed in support of the Bill. He said that something must be done in the way of inflicting storm of im- risonmsnt in additl0n tops money fine. be reason why the Dominion Act had not operated as “was intended was that judges had not seen their way to enforce the law harshly at present.

Scientific men see no reason wh the ; span of human life may not be exton ed to a round hundred years from the present limit of seventy to eighty years. From Adam’s time to that of Metha- selsh and Noah. men are recorded as at- taining to well nigh the age of LOGO years. The Psalmist David. however. says: ” The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men he so strong that they come to foursoorc years. yet is their strength then but labor and. sorrow ; so soon passeth it away. and we are gone.” Th e wide margin of longevity. together with roper observance of mental. morsl and p ys col lows. leads investifstors to believe it is ible that human if e might be made to ncreaec in length of days to a full century, at least. Moderation and regularit in eating. drinking and sleeping are con ucive to lon- gevity. and those who observe proper habits and use pure and efficacious remedies when sick. may access lish immense labor with no appsrcnt injury to themcslvec and without forcehorteuing their liver.

A little thought will show the folly of such a conclusion when remembering the frail nature of a shingle and the slight fastening it has.
