f Yontin ued,

One afternoon, when Evelyn suppos* ed herself quite alone, it happened that a youn: theologian was seated a few rods up the stream watching her with shy surprise. The gentloman was Visit | ing the mayor and had stro led hither to muse. Evelyn was just drawing 1n her line when the bate was swallowed by a whale, to judge from the tension of the cord. Steadily pulling she re-| treated astep or two, fell over the roots | of atree, and jerked a big fish flat on her breast. Anexclamation which the dominic took for terror brought him to

the spot. Evelyn, sitting upright with the fish in her lap, breke a quick laugh

short offas she perceived him,

‘T thought you, were hurt, Madam !*

‘Oh no! Lam not at all.’

‘You—ah—what a big fish

‘Yes; but itis good for nothing.

‘Indeed !—why not ?’

‘Seated there, much more at ease than in the home parlor, Evelyn dis- coursed on fish considered in a gastro- nomic light, thereby imparting to her listner quite new truths.

Pennel Pendry was an unsophisticat- ed asa pious baby, if that anomaly exists. He had brains, chronic blues, and a dreadful mother, who read all his letters, did his neck hair in curl papers, and daily catechised him about thick stockin,s, and flannels on his chest. This was his‘firstseason of liberty from her, an he was not sorry it was to last but a month. Like the prisoner of poety, ‘ His very chains and he were triends.’ However, on this afternoon, Pennel ignored all his mother’s max- ims of propriety and talked—talked, and continued to talk, with a ‘ young unmarried woman. He soon came out in character, and, ina plaintive, earn- est way, from what text I know not, began to preach. He was disappointed in life and unwittingly bitter. True to the instincts ef pigmy mortals, he had,put his shoulder to the earth ex- pecting to push it a little at his will; the great globe varied not from its course, and the pigmy bruised his shoulder blades.

Evelyn drying her dress in the sun, listened with her frank face turned to- wards his.

‘I may not be right Mr. ———

‘ Pendry.’ .

‘Mr. Pendry, but it often seems to me people make too hard a matter of of living. I think it is that everybody wants to be a great success whether or no. Pvople say 1 never could be. one. I den’t care a straw. If it is true,then Iam one of God’s failures, and He knows why. He made me—perhaps for the same reason that he makes Canada thistles, and birds that can’t sing. May be I am not good enough to let me be, of course it is no one else’s business,’

Then, having promulgated about the sum-total of her thoughts on the ‘ plan of thé universe,’ Evelyn abruptly ask- ed, ‘Do you ride on horsehack, Mr. Pendry ?’

‘Penned started in surprise. marm, [ never did.’

‘IT though so; youhad better begin; a ten mile- trot would be right in the direction of your success. Good after- noon. I must go home.’

Pennel sat there on a log until sun- set. tle was surprised—but not at all shocked. He forgot tho garile for his throat that night and dreamed he went fishing and caught—his mother, very irate at her son’s exploit.

This same week the mayor's wife gave a party for the young divine. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead in the interval between his introduc« tions to young ladies; but overpowered at last, he stepped behind a door and upon iss Hopkins’ toes. She also han- kered :fter this part of the room when in society. Pennel blushed and spoke about the heat. Evelyn blushed and remaried on the cold, then they stood five minutes without a word. Each grew cool, calm, and actually better acquainted in the silence. At last Eve- lyn said: ‘I think I will go home. My dress is a new one of my sister's, and it pinches me.’

‘If that isso, I would,’ said Pennel, ana hus their second interview ended.

The third meeting was at the stream

again, where they sat ani taiked just seven hours. Ile ate a pat of her lunch, he dug angleworms {«; (er, and was repeatedly ‘ headed oii * s,m read- ing her a rermon wear lis hair somewhat shorter; and she made-him laugh to excess several times--made Pennel do this, the young man. with whom a smile had been hitherto the limit of levity. Could his mothe» have dropped down in the midst of this tete-a-tete and have seen the couple—well, human nature is frail ! one of the twain might have been made food for fishes.

To be continued,

CANADIAN,

Montreal, Oet. 7._ Directors of Consolidated Bank, living 1n |this city—Sir Francis Hinks and Messrs. |W. W. Ogilvile, Reekie and Rankin —were arrested to-day for falsifying re- lturns to Government, on information of /Mr. John Monk. They were brought before | the Grand Jury. LATER. | This a. m. the Grand Jury reassembled, ‘and among the first indictments submitted lto them was that against the directors ol ‘the Consolidated Bank for having pulished ‘false statements. The prosecution is under- ltaken by Jno. Monk, advocate, and others, land the charge is brought against all the directors and the then manager, Mr. J. B. Kenny. ‘'T. W. Ritchie, Q.C., has been re- tained to conduct the prosecution. Ata quarter past three o’clock the Grand Jury entered, and in answer to a question of the clerk of the court, presented a number of true bills. A few more were read over, when the clerk of the Crown came to the following: — John Baxter Kenny, Sir Francis Hincks, Robert J. Reekie, John Grant, Jno. Rankin, Hugh McKay, Wm. ‘Walker Ogilvie, for false and deceptive bank statements, making a true bill. Again the names were read over, and the second true bill returned on the same charge. \ Mr. Delvin, Q.C., who had just entered the room, rose and moved that to-morrow morning be fixed for the arraignment of the accused. He did not appear for the de- fence. nor yet for the crown. J<is Honor gaid there was something before the court, and asked Mr. Ritchie if he had any motion. Mr. Ritchie said : ‘‘I presurhe that if the parties are here to-morrow morning, they will be arraigned. If not, as representing the private prosecution, I will be prepared with a motion.”

The indictment charges that on the 9th of January they did-unlawfully and wilfully make a certain wilfully false and deceptive tatement in certain returns, partly printed and partly written, respecting the affairs of said bank, etc., ete.

A number of civie actions will be immedi- ately entered against the directors for the recovery of damages. The aceused will probably surrender themselves to-morrow norning.

It is probable that criminal proceedings will be taken against the Directors of the Mechanics’ Bank, the creditors of which meet on Thursday.
