COMPLETED STOR Ye OXE GIRL'S HEART, "What very fine ycung men your nephews are. Mr. Arch r," said his visitor. "Yes, I suppose so," replied the old ancle; "but I wish they hadn't been brought up in the Idea that they have a rich relative to fall back upon. Florian is desperately extrava- gant. and there's something about Albert that reminds me of the ring of false metal." Left to himself, Mr. Archer's thoughts were still busy with his nephews when Florian Lever. eon sauntered in. "Well, uncle," he saluted, dropping into a chair. "Well, young man." "I was just looking for you. I want to tsll you something." "More debts, eh?" "Not exactly, sir. I-I am engaged to be married!" "And who is the young lady?" "Alice Dean." "A pretty girl enough; but she doesn't care a straw for you. It's your expectations shy's going to marry!" "Uncle!" "Don't tell me!" muttered Amos Archer. "Marry the girl, if you like; but if you were not the nephew of a rich old bachelor she wouldn't look at you twice "Uncle, you are speaking what is false. "Hold your tongue, sir, or I will disinherit you "I'd sooner be disinherited than insulted." Mr. Archer arose and strode out of the "corn. nearly tumbling over his other nephew, Albert Wheatley. at the head of the stairs. But Mr. Archer had hurried down the stairs and into the street. Half an hour later he came back with an air of unusual bustle and excite- ment. "Boys." he cried, looking in upon his nephews. "I've got to go West to see about those railroad lands I have been buying. There's trouble in the new board of directors, and I must look after my interests in person." And with this he vanished. Alice Dean was re-trimming her hat a couple of weeks afterwards, when the door opened abruptly, giving admittance to Florian Lever- son. She smiled a we come, but could not help looking startled at the unusual pallor of his face. "Florian, what has happened?" --he cried, springing to her feet. "I have bad news for you. Alice," her lover responded, handing her back to her seat and sitting down beside her. My uncle has died suddenly somewhere out West, and—I am a beggar." Oh, Florian! I thought he was rich!" I And so he was. but, through some strange pique or perversion, he has left all his fortune to my cousin Albert." But Mr. Wheat ey will surely divide with you. Florian," suggested Alice. He knows that you two were brought up together in anti- cipation of an equal share of the family estate." Florian's lips curled bitterly. Then, Alice, my little treasure, there is but one alternative open to me-to give you back your liberty,"to free you from our engagement. I cannot drag you down to poverty with me." Florian," cried Alice, with the tears flashing into her soft eyes and deeper crimson coming to her cheeks, do you think I wou.d turn from you at such a moment as this? Never, dearest: Let us be poor and happy together. We can both work, and love will gild our path- way, even if we live in a hovel." "My darling," was the reply of Florian, as he clasped her to his heart. "Let Albert Wheatley have tie Archer for- tune. He cannot be happier with it than we shall te without it." A few days later, a queerly attired little old man. muffled up to the ears and coughing behind a huge handkerchief, had called upon Lawyer Dana about a trifling point of law, which was quickly disposed of. but somehow the attorney and the caller drifted into a conver- sation which reached the sudden death of Amos Archer. "I have been told he was enormously rich," observed the caller, tapping the lid of his snuff- box. "Yes," said Mr. Dana. "But of one thing I am quite certain—to use a Hibernicbm—the greatest mistake of his lifetime was at his death." "How so?" "Why. in leaving his money to young Wheatley." "A miser, ehD" "To the contrary, as thankless a spendthrift as you ever saw," replied Dana; "gambling, letting at the races, vicious amusements and degrading company. His prosperity seems to act upon him as I have seen sunshine act on a rank. noisome patch of weeds, stimulating him into flaunting folly." "There was another nephew, I believe?" "Yes, Florian Le-, erson. He has just married and fills a responsible position in Jay and Dyson's banking-house. Nobody had any idea of the steadiness and common sense there was in that young fellow." The caller took a pinch of snuff noisily. "Muit be a curious young man," he said. "Whom did he marry?" "Miss Dean, and a very energetic, thorough- going- '.vife she makes him. Of the two nephews the disinherited one seems to have secured the most real happiness." "It's a very peculiar story," said the caller, arising. "I must be going. Many thanks for your politeness." Fiorian Leverson and his wife were sitting at their unpretentious fireside when there came a knock at tha door. The husband started a little. "If my uncle were not dead and buried," he declared, "I should say that is his knock." "Nonsense;" returned Alice, opening the door. There stood Amos Archer, smiling con- tentedly. "Good evening," he said. walking in as if nothing had happened. Husband and wife stared at him a moment as if he had been an apparition. "Uncle!" then gasped Florian. "Yes, that's who I am," declared Mr. Archer, turning his back to the fire. "I wanted to =ee for myself how things were going to work, and I've done Albert's stock is be.ow par, and you and this bright little wife of yours— come here, my dear, and give me a kiss-are trumps and true blue!" Uncle Archer's ruse had settled several ques- tions. Albert Wheaaey, shorn of his tempo- rary prosperity, is toiling as a billiard-marker, and Mr. Archer is quite at home with Mr. and Mrs. Florian Levsrson.

SUNDAY LETTER DELIVERY. There are a number of worthy people who contemplate with feelings of real alarm the new departure of the Postmaster-General in the matter of Sunday deliveries in London. They say, and wuh considerable truth, that the only thing which relieves tha strain of London life is the blessed know.edge that from Saturday night until Mondaj* morning the postman s knock will be silent, and that no letter—which things are most disagreeable—can come to trouble the Day of Rest. For one letter which trouble the Day of Rest. For one letter which the average man receives containing the pleas- ing intelligence that his maiden aunt at Tewkesbury has left him her Consols and her cats, he gets three with bills, two from friends who want to put him into their good things," an assortment of various annoying matters of business, and it may be an affectionate com- munication from his wife's mother as we 1. Therefo-e, he is naturally anxious that Sunday at least should be free from letters and the worries which letters bring. But w 2 do not think he need be afra d of the new Post Office rule. There is no idea of establishing a regular Sunday post in London. The charge of 3d. per mile from the General Post Office will be quite sufficient to deter anyone from insisting on having a letter delivered on Sunday unless it is a really important communication. And ever the man who has most reason to be grateful for the Sunday ebb in the tide of his corre- spondence must admit that there have been I occasions when he would have been very glad indeed if there had been a Sunday deli very. Of course, it is people in the country who will get the most benefit out of the new regulation. If a man is in London and wants to communicate with someone else in town he can, after all, send a messenger. But country people, every now and then, have the most urgent reasons for wanting to get a letter to urgent reasons for wanting to get a letter to some friend in London on a Sunday, and they will welcome a change which makes th:s no longer impossible. So long as the Sun- day delivery is hedged about w'th conditions which make it pretty certain that none but genuinely important letters will be sent by it, it will be a real boon to the public.

LIBEL INFRINGE, The abominable attacks made by the gutter press of Paris on the supporters of justice and lawinFrancehavesetmostofusonthissidc of he Channel asking if there is such a thing as a law of libel in France. Strange as it may seem in v-ew of recent events, "diffamation" and "injure" are punished by fine and im- prisonment, but the judges are too timid to interfere in the face of the obloquy to which an undue display of zeal might expose them. As a rule, moreover, the fines are trifling and the imprisonment nominal even for the vilest lib-jls, especially in the case of such notorious offenders as M. Rochefort. The subjcct is weil dealt with by a writer in the "Nineteenth Century" for this month, with reference to M. Cruppi's book on tha matter, which was published last year One very serious thing in France is the absence of any summary powers, such as those given by our law of contempt of court, to restrain the press from interfering with the free course of justice. In England I such ruffians as Rochefort, Millevoye, and the I rest would have been fined and imprisoned by the court for their outrages upon judges, as were Mr. Whalley and Mr. Guildford Onsllow for far less serious offences. M. Cruppi makes two important suggestions, which would apply not only to prosecutions by public func- tionaries, but also to private libels. Ii3 pro- poses, first, that the proprietors of newspapers should be mads uircctly responsible for the fines and damages incurred by the paper, and, secondly, that the maximum fine should be raised from 2.000 to 100.000 francs, so as to make the punishment a reality. But the first thing necessary to make the judges really inde- pendent, as they are in England, and to give theiri stringent powers to repress contemot of court.

I COMICALITIES. II A clergyman was to preach one Sunday morn- ing. He came in wet through, and said. to the rector, "I do not think I can preach this morn- ing, I am so wet." "Never mind," said the rector; "you'll be i dry enough in the pulpit." "Hello, William," remarked Milton to Shak- speare, "what are you doing—studying your own works?" "Not exactly, John," replied the great dra- matist. "I am reading some of these nine- teenth century articles and trying to discover whether Hamlet was insane or not." German Corporal (to soldier): Why is the blade of the sabre curved insted of straight? Private: It is curved in order to give more force to the blow. C ;rporal; Humbug! The sabre is curved so as to fit the scabbard. If it were straight, I how would you get it into the crooked scab- bard, blockhead? Reporter: What on earth possessed you to hang that? President of Hanging Committee: Well, we did our best. We had a terrific hunt for the artist, but he escaped, and so we hung the pic- ture instead. Nellie: Why do you look so sad, Bertie? Did pa object? Bertie: Oh! no, dear. He said, "If Nell consents, the thing is settled. You'll soon find out that when Nell says a thing is to be- well it is, that's all!" A distinguished archdeacon in Ireland was walking with a friend, and met an Irishman. "Now," he said, "I am going to ask Paddy a question-'Pat, if the Old Gentleman was to come, which of us will he take?' "Me, sir." "Hew is that?" "Because he would be sure of you at any time." Jabbers: Why have you and Merriman quar- relled? Havers: Oh, he's such a perfect ass. "Then I should think you'd get along all right." Miss Cawstic: Don't you think monkeys are cute? Blowdust: Naw, they remind me too much of some people. Miss Cawstic: 0, you shouldn't be so sensitive. "This can't be an expensive present which Mr. Dinsmore has sent me, mamma," remarked the fair young girl. "How do you know?" "He has taken off the price mark." k Young Doggerell: The public is wild over my last poem. Cynicus: Sorry to hear that, old man. If you wish to hide till the excitement dies down, my rooms are at your service. Wife (angrily): Before we married I made you choose bstween me and your filthy pipe, and you chose me. Husband (calmly): True; but I have had to fall back on my pipe, for j comfort.

DIRT, <H;BT,AKDTHE IH Yf V Mr. Spurgeon, in his splendid work, "John Plaughman's talk," says his aim in life had always been to keep the three D's out of the house—Dirt, Debt, and the Devil. Well, we should say they're best out. He adds "the last of the three wCuld sometimes wriggle in through the keyhole, but he soon had noticc to quit." The first two are bad enough, but save us from the third, although we've an idea. that if number three comes in he brings one a.nd two with him. The aim of thousauds of people in Great, Britain to-day is to keep Page Woodcock's Wind Pills in the house ra'.her than out. They know that for the cure of In- digestion, Liver COlllplaint3.

Reminiscences of examinations given in the "G'ornhill" can, the writer says, be vouched for as authentic, and, with a few exceptions, as being personal experiences in the inspection of public elementary schools. Here are a few amusing instances:- We were examining a fourth standard in their knowledge of English conjunctions in general use. In the usual course came the answers "and" and "but." We pressed strongly for fur. ther information, when we were met from the lips of a little girl with the simply appalling answer of "Clapham Junction"! The school was close by that labyrinth. On another occasion we were questioning a third standard (girls) on the English Lakes. We had the well-known list of Windermere, Derwentwater, Ulleswater, Wastwater, and so on. But we finished up with "Bayswater," the topical temptation proving too much for a London child. Answers in physiology give good cause for the complaint of the anxious mother about this subject, that. she, didn't wish her daughter to learn it at all, because it was "rude to tell them so much about their insidss." The school log-book is not without its humours, and here is an entry by an elemen- tary teacher:—"Have examined Standards IV.- VI., and am very sanguinary about the results of the examination," and the event justified the use of the adjective. Another log-book entry refers to the head- master's recent marriage, of which it would seem he had made a formal announcement to his assembled pupils. It runs thus:—"The event of my marriage on August 10 caused a hearty outbreak of sympathy on the part of the scholars." A manager, posing as an authority, went into school one day with the intention of putting the fifth standard through their facings in the geography of Europe. He began, "What is the capital of 'OUand?" "Capital H" was the crushing rejoinder from the smart boy of the class. On being asked- to comment on the follow- ing passage, "This England never will and never shall Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror!" a pupil teacher thus contemptuously replied: — "1. This is impossible, because it implies that a conqueror has only one foot, whereas he has two. 2. This is absurd, because pride is located in the heart of man, not in his foot." The examiner was a little out himself, for the quotation is really: — "This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror." THE WAY TO DREAMLAND. What is the way to Dreamland, Where the children go each night, To play beneath its satiny skies Until the morning light? First, the naughty Sand Man comes, With his sacks all full of sand, And throws it. in little eyes so bright- Then children start for Slumberland. To Sleepy Hollow first they come, But hot to linger there. They travel to the Land of Nod Where little heads bob in the chair. The next station is Shut-Eye Town, Where little eyes close tight, Now, they've reached fair Slumberland. To spend the happy night. For here is where the Dreamland lies, The journey is all o'er, The train now stops, and out The happy children pour. Thsy roam o'er fields and grassy plains, And play among the flowers, And with the elves and fairies sport, Through all the happy hours. But do you know the fare they pay, Before the train they take To bring them to this pleasant place From the Land of Wide-Awake? 'Tis just a kiss on Mamma's lips And a picture sweet and fair, Of a little form at Mamma's knee, Breathing an evening prayer!

WHAT IS THE GREAT SECRET OF INFANT MORTALITY ? It differs with times and seasons, but the chief permanent factor is Tuberculosis, which recent investigation has shown to be on the increase annually anions children. The disease is propagated chiefly through cow's milk, for that animal is subject to it just like the human being. If you dye your child the in- fected milk of a uberculosis cow, you must expect him to contract tuberculosis and die of it. Th6re is no reason why you should feed an infant'on this dangerous and fatal food, when you can give it one which is absolutely pure, much more nourishing, and far sooner digested. In HORI ICK'S MALTED MILK, the perfect food for children, all the cow's milk is sterilised, and, unlike most artificial diets, no added milk is needed. Your chemist supplies it.

ESTABLISHED UPWARDS OF 30 YEARS These world-renowned Pills hold the first place In the world as remedies for PILE and GRAVEL and the common disorders of the Stomach' Bowels, Liver, and Kidneys. There is not a civilised nation under the sun that has not expe- rienced their healing virtues. GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Paina in the back, loins, between the shoulders, and in the region of the heart, stomach, liver. and kidneys, con- stipation, wind, griping, colic, biliousness, sup. pression and retention of urine, pains in the thighs, palpitation, giddiness, depression of spirits, general debility, and other sympioma too obvious to point out. These Remedies do not profess to do the Impossible-to cure all the ills flesh is heir to. What the proprietor, however, does claim is that, in George's Pile and Gravel Pills." he has discovered Remedies of the extraordinary virtues and efficacy for two of the most painful and common disorders that trouble mankind (Piles and Gravel), and their accompanying aches and pains: medicines which never fail to afford relief even in old and neglected forms of these complaints, whilst in cases of more recent date satisfactory cares may be confidently exnectod from their healing action. The three forms of these remedies:- No. 1.—GEORGE'S PILE AND GRAVEL PILLS No. 2—GEORGE'S GRAVEL PILLS. No. 3.-GEORGE-S PILLS FOR THE PILES. The Proprietor has in his possession thousands of testimonials from all parts of the world, of "ihich the following are offered as fair samples:— From the originator of the movement in favour of taxing Royalties and Ground Rents for local purposes:— I have looked over hundreds of Original Tee- timonials received by Mr. J. E. George. Hirwain bearing upon cures effecteu by his Pile and Gravel Pills.' The writers or tnese letters are unanimous in their testimony to the Marvellous Remedial Powers of Mr. George's Remedies. I look npon the bundle or testimonials placed before me as a Satisfactory Proof that he has. bir his discovery, been the means of alleviating the pains of a multitude of sufferers. D. E. WILLIAMS.

COMMON QUOTATIONS, 'I How many persons can unhesitatingly name the source of the most familiar quotations? Many a man gees through life without reading a single play of Shalcspeare; probably no Eng- lish-speaking man goes through life witnout quoting him. If he sneers at "a woman's rea- son," he quotes Shakapcare; if he refers to "a trick worth two of that," he quotes Shakspeare again. Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" is not a popular work; but one line of it— "Ask mo no questions, and I will tell you no lies"-is known and used by everybody. Who reads Campbell nowadays? Yet who, at some time or other, hao not quoted his line, "Coming events cast their shadows before"? References to "stolen thunder" are common enough in journalism, though it may be doubted whether many journal l-its are familar with the works of John Dennis, the originator of the phrase. And we klre all accustomed to speak of "teach- ing the young idea how to shoot," though—less culpably in this' instance"—we have never read a line of Thomson's "Seasons."

A WORD WITH YOU, PLEASE! Sufferers from Gravel. Lumbago, Piien, T'nina in the Back, Dropsy, Wind and ater Ccm- plaints. Diseases of Kidneys.

The eider Disraeli's opinion of the present state of the magazine market would probably be interest- ing. Another interesting autograph is a peti- tion to Parliament- by Dean Swift, and there is quite a large eollecion of letters from Cole- ridge.
