The information proved correct. The box furnished Helen with diamonds and emeralds of great thickness and quality. But the huge ruby placed her on a level | with sovereigns. She wears it now and theu ‘in London, but not often. It attracts too jinuch attention, blazing on her fair fore- , head like a star, and eclipses everything.

seen his fellow-creatures in too dark a light. He turned toward religion and the care of souls.

Past suffering enlightens a man, and

to hear the new vicar. He had a lake with a peninsula, the shape of which he altered, at a great expense, as soon as he came there. He wrote to. Helen every day, and she to him. Neither could do anything eon amore till the post came in,

One afternoon, as he was preaching with great unction, he saw along, puritanical face looking up at him, with a droll expres-

sion of amazement and half irony. The

| stranger calied on him and began at once.

‘Wal, parson, you are a buster, you air. You ginn it us hot—you did. I’m darned if Taint kinder ashamed to talk of this world’s goods to a saint upon earth like you. But I never knowed a parson yet as couldn’t collar the dollars.’

After this preamble he announced that he had got a lease of the island from Chili, dug a lot of silver plate out of the galleon, sold ten tons of choice coral, and a ship- load of cassia and cocta-nuts. He had then disposed of his lease to a California company for a large sum. And his part- ner’s share of net profits came to £17,247 12s S$d, which sum he had paid to Michael, for Robert Penfold, in drafts on Baring, at thirty days after sight.

Robert shook his hand, and thenked him sincerely for his ability and probity. He stayed that might at the Vicarage, and by that means fell in with another acquain- tance. Genoral Rolleston and his daugh- ter drove down to see the Parsonage. Helen wanted to surprise Robert; and, as often happens, she surprised herself. She made him show her everything, and so he took her on to his peninsula. Lo! the edges of it had been cut and altered, so that it presented a miniature copy of God- send Island.

As soon as she saw this, Helen turned around with a sudden cry of love, ‘Oh, Robert!’ and the lovers were in each other’s arms.

‘What could any other man ever be to me ?

‘And what could any other woman ever be to me ?

They knew that before. But this minia- ture island made them speak out and say it. The wedding-day was fixed before she left.

Her Majesty pardoned this scholar, hero, and worthy, the crime he had never committed.

Nancy Rouse took the penitent Wylie without the £3,000. But old Penfold, who knew the whole story, lent the money at three per cent.; so the Wylies pay a ground rent of £60 a year for a property which, by Mrs. Wylie’s industry and judgment, is worth at least £400. She pays this very cheerfully, and appeals to Joe whether that is not better than the

old way. ‘Why, Joe,’ says she, ‘to a woman like me, that’s afoot all day, ‘tis worth

sixty pounds a year to be a good sleeper; and I shouldn’t be thatif I had wronged my neighbor,’

Arthur Wardlaw is in a private lunatic asylum, and is taken great care of. In his lucid intervals he suffers horrible dis- tress of mind; but, though sad to see, these agonies furnish the one hope of his ultimate recovery. When not troubled by these returns of reason, he is contented enough. His favorite employment is to get Mr. Underclifi’s fac-similes, and to write love letters to Helen Rolleston, which are duly deposited in the post office of the establish- ment. These letters are in the handwriting of Charles I., Paoli, Lord Eacon, Alex- ander Pope,Lord Chesterfield, Nelson, Lord Shaftsbury, Addison, the late Duke of Wellington, and so on. And strange to say, the Greek ‘e’ never appears in any of them. They are admirably like, though, of course, the matter is not always equally consistent with the char- acters of these personages.

Helen Rolleston married Robert Penfold. On the wedding-day, the presents were laid outand amongst them was a silver box in- crusted with coral, Female curiosity de- manded that this box should be opened. Helen objected, but the bridesmaids rebeil- ed; the whole company sided with them, and Robert smiled a careless assent. A blacksmith and carpenter were both enlisted, and with infinite difficulty the poor box was riven open.

Inside was another box, locked, but with no key. That was opened with comparative ease, and then handed to the bride. It contained nothing but Papal indulgences and rough stones, and fair throats were opened in some disappointment.

A lady, however, of more experience, examined the contents, and said that in her opinion many of them were uncut gems of great price; there were certainly a quantity of jaspers and blood-stonés, and others of no value at all. ‘But leok at these two

THE END,

Lumbering in Maine.

A leading lumberman tells the Post repre- ‘sentative that this has been the hardest ;winter for logging in Maine for thirty years, and the amount ef lumber to come

|makes him tender; and people svon bezan down the Penobscot will be fifty millions | : : ° e \ 9 , iw : |to walk and drive considerable dis'ances|S0rt of last year’s drives. Karly in the

| season there was no snew to speak of, the jlast of January and the first of February were very stormy and now there is tov much snow. Not only are operations dim- inished in a general sense, but the cut of Jogs is very smal] in proportion to the labor involved, In the booms and dead-waters and “‘shingled up” along shore at the mills there are probably 35,000,000 feet of logs, aud the manufactured lumber on hand would not bring the figures up to over 40,- 000,000 feet. This represents the old stock. Now for the new: West Branch will not send down over 30,000,000 feet, and the Matt- awamkeag will furnish 21,000,000 feet, the East Branch is estimated at 18,000,000, while Passadumkeag and Piscataquis will probably bring the total up to 85,000,000 feet. This with the old logs make 125,- 000,000 total stock on the Penobscot in 1884, or about 65,000,000 feet short of 1883. Even this small amount may not be secured if the driving courses are low. There is lots of snow now, but sometimes it ‘‘freezes off,” as the lumbermen say, and does not raise the streams tnough to float logs through. The cut in all Maine and Provincial rivers is smaller than for years, and unless building is low or the west has a big cut, prices must advance. Some short lumber is going forward by rail, and some by water, the latter from Bucksport.— Boston Post.

Validity of an Indian Marriage.

The Superior Court at Quebec has just given a judgment deciding the legality of a marriage contracted with an Indian woman in the Northwest, although not sanctioned by any religious ceremony. The question is one of interest, although it ia based on the decision in the case of Connolly and Goodrich, which, a number of years ago, brought into prominenee at the bar Mr. George W. Stephens, M. P. P., then a young practitioner, who fought from court to court with his peculiar tenacity for the principles contended for, and bringing to a successful termination a leng:hy contest.

In the case now referred to Alexander Fraser, an associate of the Hudson Bay Company died and, in 1843, J. B. Pouliot, of Riviere du Loup was appointed curator to his vacant estate. Being sued by Mr. William Fraser to render an account he, in obedience to an order of Court, deposit- ed $50,000 in cash and $40,000 worth of obligations to be distributed among those entitled to them. Mr. Thomas Jones inter- vened and claimed a share of the amount as representing his mother, Marguerite Fraser, one of the children issue of his Indian marriage. The marriage was con- tested, but was maintained. It is said that the result of the judgment will effect one million of dollars, involving one-half of the seigniories ef Riviere du Loup, and 6,000 acres which formed part of the community existing between Alexander Fraser ana his wife.

The engagement is announcei of Mrs. Frank Leslie to the Marquis de Leuville, a gentleman who has.spent much of his time for the past three years in New York. The engagement was rumored some time ago, but was then denied by Mrs. Leslie. It is understeod that the Marquis, soon after meeting Mrs. Leslie, three years ago, offered himself to her, but it is authoritatively stated ‘“‘she was then devoting herself to

the work of extricating her property from its embarassments and vindicat- ing the financial credit and business

good name of her late husband, and it was not until recently that, having accom- plished the task she had undertaken, she permitted herself to seriously entertain the proposals made to her.” The duel between the Marquis and Count Almansegg in Bel- gium last September, in which the latter was wounded was believed to be because of remarks that the latter had made concern- ing an Americanlady. It is mentioned of the Marquis that, in a recent trial in Paris, he put a bullet 249 times running in a tar- get at twenty-two paces. He had published a volume of poems and has given much aitention to art. —_-
