Country Cousin's Visit. So you are to have a country cousin for a visitor, Seraphina ?" "Yea; don't you pity me?'' Is she so very countryfied ?" "0, I presume so. fShe comes from the northern part of New Hampshire and is the daughter of a fanner. I have never seen her, for this is her first visit to Boston, but I have no doubt she is a complete rustic. "Poor Seraphina, how 1 pity you! Will she be at your party ?" I am afr id so, unless she gets homesick and goes homo before. But I've no doubt she will enjoy her visit to the city too well, and it's only a week to my party, you know." Why tvert you obliged to invite her?" Ob, we couidrÙ get rid of ir. Pa insisted on it, though ma. and I did all we could to prevent it. Well, I get oat here- Good-bye, dear." Good-by, Seraphina," Miss Seraphina Fowler signalled to the conductor to stop the car, and got out. The conversation between the two girls had been listened to with great interest by a young girl in a travelling dress, sitting near by. She may be excused for feeling somewhat in- terested, for she was the country cousin whose intended visit excited so much alarm. She would not have recognised either of the speakers but for the name Seraphina, and the circumstances that pointed so clearly to her own visit. I will ride on," she said to herself, "1 don't want Seraphina to know that! have heard her speak of me. I will ride a mile or two farther, and take a car back. I will take care not to disappoint her expectations, but appear as countrified as she expects." Edith Granl wa.9 the daughter of a well-to- do farmer, and though she had always lived in the country had enjoyed advantages of education, not only in the solid but in the ornamental branches, quite equal to her cousin, while she bad been a diligent student, and made much better use of thcU). An elderly French professor, who had settled in a country town for the sake of his health, bad imparted to her an excellent knowledge of his language, while she excelled not only as a musical performer but as a singer. Of this, however, her city cousins knew nothing. Half an hour or more after Miss Seraphina arrived at home the beil was rung by her country cousin. Is Miss Fowler or Seraphiny to hum asked Edith, with a broad Yankee accent. I'll see," answered the astonished ser- vant, Who fhall I say wishes to see her ?" Her cousin, Edith Grant, to be sure, just arrived from New Hampshire." With a suppressed smile the servant showed Edith into the parlour. Presently Miss Seraphina sailed into the room and held OUt her hand in languid curiosity. But she was almost paralysed when Edith made a rush for her, enveloped her in a boisterous embrace, exclaiming: "Why, Cousin Seraphiny, how dew you dew, and how's your ma ? I'm proper glad to see you ?" "Just as I expected,' said Seraphina to herself, with an inward groan. She's fearfully rustic. J'm very well, thank you," she I answered coldly; "and so is my mother. How did you come ?" [ come by the boss-cars. I've got a check for my trunk. I guess I can get an express- man to get it; I presume so." What a stylish gown you've got on, Cousin Seraphiny I wish 1 had one like it." "I may find one or two of my old dresses for you to we ;r," said Heraphina, condescend- ingly. "I suppose you make your own dresses in the country ?" We get 'em cut by a dressmaker—-ophy Sykes; she goes out by the day-75 cents a day she charges, it's high, but hbe makes 'em fashionable." "No doubt," said Seraphina, with a sneer. Woul d you like to go to your room ?" Yes. iSerapl^iny, if you please. I'm awful dusty. Perhaps I'd better go into the kitchen, and if you've got such a thing as a wash-basin l'l slick up a lttle." "Heavens and earth! She's worse than I expected. How can 1 have her at my party ?'' thought Seraphina. You will find a wash-basin in your room," she said, with a curl of the lip. That's handy," returned l^dith. The servant was called, and ushered Edith into the chamber provided for her.. hdlth. left alone in her room, took down her hair and arranged it in an un- becoming style, so as to completely cover her ears, retained her travelling dress, and came downstairs when the bell rang for supper. She was received coldly by Mrs. Fowler and Seraphina, who regarded her with evhient I disdain. Her uncle looked at her in astonish- ment. Kven he was surprised at her evident want of taste and countrified ways, yet he was kind. The next day Edith had a private in- terview with her uncle and let him into the secret, asking permission for the present to continue the masquerade. He laughed heartily, for he enjoyed a prac- tical joke. It will be a good lesson to Seraphina and your aunt," be said. I'm really glad, though, to find you're not quite Buch a rustic as you looked." "Confess, uncle, you were a little ashamed of me," said Edith archly. "Well, I certainly thought that if you were a diamond it was a rough one," said the ancle. If I could only keep her from my party,' i thought Seraphina a few days later. She will disgrace ns all." "Edith," said Seraphina more graciously than usual, I am going to have a party on Wednesday evening." "Oh, won't that be nice! Will you have ice-cream and cake P" I have been thinking, said Seraphina, rather awkwardly, "that you wouldn't enjoy it much. You wouldn't know anybody." You'll introduce me, won't you, Sera- phiny?" 1 could, I suppose; but the fact is, Edith, you will feel out of place. Of course, you shall have all the ice-cream and cake you want. I will send it up to your room early in the evening." Bnt I want to see the fun, Seraphiny. I never was to a citv party." That's the very reason you wouldn't enjoy it, Edith." Oh, yes I shall I know I shall I wouldn't miss it for 25 cents." To Serapbina's great diseast Edith was obstinately bent on getting to the party. She called in her mother's assistance, but in vaiu. Well, if you are determined to go, I will give you one of my last season's dresses to appear in. We are about the same height. All right, Seraphiny. You're real kind. "Kind! I'd like to ohoke her! said Sera- phina to herself. What in the world made pa invite such a rustic here at this time. To be sure, she's not bad looking, if she woaldn't wear her hair so frightfully. I shall die of mortification." When the evening of the party came Edith refused all assistance and made her own toilet. Sbe purposely came down late. As she entered the room her uncle, with a smile, came forward and led her in, presenting her with a bouquet. When Seraphina caught sight of her she started in amazement. The grub had become a butterfly. Sbe had arranged her hair in the style of the day, had on a tasteful dress of her own, instead of appearing in her cousin's finery, and wor" an air of complete self-posses- sion, as if she felt quite at home. Why, she actually looks respectable ejaculated Seraphina to her mother. Who could have dressed her ? But her speech will betray her. Gracious there is father intro- ducing her to the Count de Graumont" (a titled Frenchman, the lion of the evening). What will he think P" "Oh, pa!" remonstrated Seraphina, 10 great distress, how could you introduce that country gawk to the Count. It will disgrace us in his eyes. Suppose you draw near and listen to their conversation," said her father quietly. Seraphina did so, and was struck dumb with amazement to hear the supposed rustic coversing easily with the Count in his own language. Why, she knows French she ejaculated after a pause. I believe she does," said Mr. Fowler. There was another surprite. Later ia the evening Edith was led to the piano by the Count and her brilliant execu- tion excited enthusiasm. Mrs., mademoiselle, but you must sing, said the Count, after rapturously applauding her. Edith bowed, and iu. a moment her pure, sweet voice filled the parlours as she sang an Italian song. Who is that charming singer, Miss Sera- phina ?" asked a gentleman. It is my cousin," answered Seraphina, in her bewilderment hardly knowing whether she was awake or asleep. Not the cousin you said was so country- tied, surely ?" "Ob, that was a joke," said Seraphina, con- fused. "What does it all mean, Kdith ?" asked Seraphina, when the company had departed. Edith smiled. When you were lamenting in the horse car that you were to have a visit from a rustic cousin," she explained, 1 aat near you and heard all. I bad merely assumed the character you selected for me." "And finely you've taken us all in," said her undle. | "All but you uncle," said Edith, smiling. Well, 1 was taken in at first, I admit." Before Edith's visit was over she became engaged to a rich young city merchant, and she is no longer the country cousin.—CARO- LINE F. PRESTON, in New York Weekly.

Damage to a Steamer at Barry Dock. On Thursday afternoon the coal-laden steamer Glen field, in going out of dock at Barry, collided heavily with the dock wall near the inner gates, causing considerable damage both to the wall and to the ship's hull. A number of plates were bulged in, and damage was done by the concus- sion to the hydraulic pipeft and work had to be brought to a standstill in consequence at some of the tips and the inner gates for some time. The~ ship put b»ck to dock, and is now being repaired at the graving dQck.

Sad Drowning Fatality at Risca. On Thursday evening William Curl, thirteen years of age, tha son of Mr. Curl, of Copperworks- lane, Risca, was playing with a line over the bridge which crosses the Ebbw, when he slipped fron, the roil he was standing on and feU into the swollen river. The accident was witnessed by somo colliers, but before they could do anything the lad was carried over the weir (about a quarter of a mile lower than the bridge), and was drowned.

'I ruth says:—" A speech delivered by the Roman CalJwlic liishop of Salford at a temperance meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that it deserves notice. The Bishop suggested that, whibt stroug beers should be taxed, the sale.of light heera not above t certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed frou) duty. This is a doctrine that 1 have always preached. It is, indeed, a pity that more temperance reformers arc not as reasonable and as practical as the Bishop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sunlight Ale may he attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favourably with the ordinary high- coloured, strong, heady ates. It is brewed from malt prepared from the finest Herefordshire bar- ley, and most delicatdly Havoured with hops, called » vVor'«ters," but re illy grown-in toe rich, ferule valleys of llercionlsbire.

DAY BY DAY. Barry being a new place, things are naturally a bit primitive. The1!laulfhte.r-house committee met at the elaughter-houae Ule other day, and seats were provided by placing a plank across a wheel- barrow. One of the speakers at the Youug Wales Society meeting on Tuesday night hoped (according to the South Wales Star) that a severe winter would purify the hair," and so make the re-appearance of cholera impossible. Ben Davies, the great tenor, fifteen years ago was a grocer's assistant at Swansea. His mother is a fine-looking old Welshwoman, very proud of her famous son, who worships her, and alway, addresses her in the old language. A London paper says that Lord Randolph Churchill was entertained "by Lord and Lady Bute at their ancient aud dismal residence, Cardiff Caatle." We leave the gentleman who wrote that phrase to the mercy of Alderman Lewis. A merchant at the Cardiff Docks wants our readers to bother themselves with this puzzle:— Egyptian darkness still prevails, no doubt. For some can't see what simple minds find out. That Mosel', Pharaoh's daughter's son, wap, too, Daughter of 1'h'traoh's son, they can't see through. The football man of the London Star guesses that, Newport will beat Wellington to-day, aud that Cardiff will beat Swansea. He comes down to details, and says that Arthur Gould will score some tries for Newport, and that unless the Brothers James turn out, Swansea will have little chance against Cardiff. Ministers fare better than solicitors in Barry All the solicitolrs are bachelors, and so were the ministers some time back, but in six months three have married and another is doomed. We hear too, that a determined attempt is being made to reform the lawyers, and a leap-year dance has been arranged. These law men deserve no mercy The Radical organ seems a bit dazed over the actual or feigned independence of the Cardiff Trades' Council. Our contemporary pats the council on the back for its declaration of inde- pendence, t ben querulously asks what advantage the council could perceive in supporting Con- servatives and opposing Liberals. What manner of independence is it that is always depending on one party ? The career of a paragraph is often interesting to follow. A fortnight ago we published a column and a half description of Mr. Corbin's scheme for running a line of steamers from New York to Milford Haven. This was boiled down into a paragraph by the Engineering sub-editors. In this handy shape the par has been careering madly round the country, and yesterday found a comfor- table resting-ploce in the drowsy columns of our neighbour up the street. Eidteddfodau are far from baing connned to Wales or to England. There was ono at Northamp- ton last week, and another at Manchester. In America thsy are frequent, and now we,hndthat "A grand eisteddfod,an all-day musical festival competi- tion, will be held in tho Centennial-hnl], Sydney on November 9,1892, the Prince of Wales's birth- day, under the auspices of the Cambrian Society of Sydney.and the patronage of his Excellency the Karl of Jersey and a number of other distinguished personages." Mor o gau yw'r byd i gyd When the curtain fell on the last act of Haydn Parry's opera, "Cigarette," at the Shaftesbury Theatre on Monday night Mr. Neill O'Donovan, professor at tha Guildhall School of Music and chorus master to the company, presented to Mr. Charles Collette, the stage director, on behalf of the original members of the "Cigarette" Com- pany and as a token of their affectionate esteem and regard, a handsome cigar case, a silver- mounted pipe, silver-mounted cigar and cigarette tubes, and embroidered tobacco pouch. The opera is in full swing, and promises a long and remunerative run. One of the first men to go down the Park Slip on a rescue mission after the recent explosion was Mr. Evan Thomas, checkweigher, and he has given a representative of the Central Glamorgan Gazette a thrilling and flesh-creeping narrative of his experiences. Mr. Thomas makes an interesting statement about smoking in relation to explosions He said that, as a matter of fact, tobacco smoke killed gas. Forty years ago, in Pyle, if an accumulation of gas was noted, two or three would join together and smoke under it. Mr. Thomac, of course, did not approve of such a practice. There was the greatest danger of a spark from the pipe igniting the gas. A curious story is told in connection with the Toudu explosion. On tbe morning of the disaster two colliers, named Rees and Steoner, related to some comrades a singular dream that each had dreamt the preceding night. Both the dreams wore alike, and showed the dreamers in trouble owing to an explosion. Before the men went down their parting words were Wel, fechgyn, gobeithio na chymer dim o'n breuddwyd ni le'* ("Well, boys, let us hope that nothing of our dream will come true"). But the explosion occurred, and all that George Rees had pictured took place. Rees came out alive, but Stenner died. Has Mr. Sydney Grundy ever visited Cardiff ? If not he must be a diligent reader of the Western Mail, else how did he gain the knowledge of shebeening which he exiribits jn the following dialogue in "Haddon Hall," the new Savoy opera ?:— Rupert: "Haviug deprived the populace of all means of innocent recrealion, we have compelled them to seek solace in the consumption of strong drink. Nicodemus (a Puritan): "Nav, verily! Have we not closed all inns and taverns?" Rupert: "It is true that wholesome and neces- sary refreshment can no linger be procured in an open and honourable fashion, but I can give you my personal assurance that there exist scores of places where any quantity of the deleterious concoc- tions can be obtained in a stealthy and dis- reputable manner." We can almost hear Fred Billington rolling out the Rupert sentences. Our chief has an awkward habit of selecting places with names that no one seems to under- stand. Years ago he lived at Cwrt-y-Vil, a name which nobody has ever been able to intelligibly explain. Then Tredelerch comes on the scone. The nearest approach we can get to this word is that it means the abode of tbe swan, otherwise known as the bona fide traveller. Now our lives are made miserable with a horrible Carmarthen- shire concoction, to wit, Lletherllestry. The chief bus rented Lletherllestry Mansion, and has 7,000 acres of land over which he can shoot (and in parentheses we may remark that if we were out with him we wouldn't feel safe on a smallnr plot than that). There will be no peace till" the mean- ing of Llotberllestry has been discovered, so we appeal to Professor Rhys, Morien," Mr. Egerton Phillimore, or Sandow, to come over and, help us. It is rather funny to see the effect wrought on the Radicals by a resolution of the Cardiff Trades' Council to become non-political. Our contemporary has been fairly thrown off its horse and talks in a most confusing manner. It says that the council was perfectly right in bringing out independent candidates. Then it goes on:—"But why has the Trades' Council limited itself to the choice of only four members of its own body ? What is the special advantage it perceives in supporting Conservatives and opposing Liberals? The council might have made its reasons known as well as its decisions." Thbi is conflicting. There are only three Gpnservatives retiring; the other seven are 'Radicals, so the Trades' Council could -not have brought out any more of their candidates without opposing a larger number of Radicals. Untesf, happy thought, there are Conservatives on the r Trades' Council-a factsomewhat discountenanced by the past doings of that body. ———,
