She was muffi din a f'oieign shawl of rich purple silk, and u white kiiten was nested in her lap. Out side the rain beat sharply on the panes. Within, all was peace and comfort. E-sex and I were wet and tired. Janette eaure out of her nest, welcomed us, ordered supper and settled us comfortably by the fire. "How did you come down, Paul? in the stage?" she asked. "No; Lrry, here, brought us down with bi- horse. Vie," said E-.-ex. Those solt eyes were turned quickly upon me. "I have heard of Vic, Mr. Lawrence," said Janette. I could not but be p'eaed. I was more proud of my horse tban of anything I bad ever owned. "I have wished very much to see her," added she. "She is tired and weather beaten, now," said I, "but as soon as she is presentable. I shall be b&ppy to show her to you, and if you are aot afraid of (ant driving, Miss E-sex. I d have you try her speed. "Is she so very fast?'' asked Janette. Being afraid of talking h >rss if I at tempted to dilate upon the subject, I con fined myself to saying that she was con sidered so. "She's not afraid,'" said Essex. "Sl.e has a pas-ion for the races " "0-Paul!" exclaimed Janette, 'you'll make Mr. Lawrence think that I atu last," which was so funny that Essex and 1 laughed. So'.u Paul's mother appeared.

Mr. Huntly made cynical remarks on people I did not know, giving me the impression tha' we w-re in a very bad neighborhood ; an 1 Essex and I killed time over the chess board. I near y sttangl.-d trying to suppress my yawns be fore bedtime came. When Essex showed me up to my bed room, I asked who Mr. lluntly tp. "Jauette's tn'ended husband," he replied nd I stared. Why, the man was sixtj years old! He was dyed, padded and spiteful. He was gaunt, billious and sav age. "D es she like him ?" I stammered. "The duchess does. That is sufficient," Paul answered. I b-rgan to understand why Esex had nnt spent his vacations at home when at college—why he accepted invitations from the other leilows instead—and why he nev er spoke of his mother, as I thought o 1 tn' ne. Trie next day, in spite of had weather, a carriage load of company came. They were the Stivers, of SJver Hill, and a bouncing girl, named B iek'y. Kate Buckiy immediately fell to petting Jaortte. "Why didn't you tell me you had such a daring little si-ter?'* she demanded ol Paul. "Is shea darling? a-ked Paul, leaning against the mantle, as he stood on the rug. with his binds in his pockets. "Don't you kuow that she is?" asked Miss Buckiy. "No. I don't know anything about her: but I rather guess that you are right," he answered. Just then Janette came iu. Miss Buckiy took the sma 1, soft figure in h-r lap, and Janette smiled at us from the capacious -hulder. "It seems like being little and happy again," said she in a low voice. "I should like to kn •• when you wern't i-tle." said E-SX, "why," turning to me. ".-he slept in her crib when she was eleven rears old, and I am certain she had a doll when she was fifteen.

Tae smile sod blush faded from Jauette's Utile face. Two small wrink'ts appeared on j ktr fair brow. "Well, Janette there won't be engaged kuf once. The duchess 'll not allow ber to play at fast and loose with her lovers. *You little thing, is it true then de maided Kate. "Are yon engaged to that . h yrid old Uuntly?" "O, bush!" cried Janette, "Mamma ro ght bear," putting her hand over her I tn< uth. "'She may hear me call htm an old wolf, any time," stid Kate. "Didn't he nag the life out of his fir-t wife, I would like to know, poor bttle Elly Cmwly? Isn't he an I otd skinflint, and a thief and a mi.-er?

"Janette," said the duchess'voice be : hitai bur chair*, "you may go to your room uitil I have an opportunity of speaking wyb you alone." Janette supped from Kate's lap and rreU out. with a hanging head. We were d>-eiJed]y uncomfortable, but the duc-he— was very gracious. Paul and I got away as soon a* we could, took our guns, and went out on the common. The day seemed painfully gray and sad to me. Paul bag eed a few birds. For the fir-t time in my life it di-trc*sed trie to see the soft plti j ranged thing* fluttering anddy u*. I br-k< a spray of bitter-sweet l>erric* an 1 carried it a while, meaning to take it to Janette. thtn threw it away. No, I would not give her bitter sweet. We went home to supper. Janette did nm appear. Essex a-k d for her. "Jsuetic?—uh, -aid the duchess, "her grandmamma sent fur her to spend a week at the Hohows." I am sure that I betrayed great conster nation, for the duchess looked curiuudy at me. After supper I said : "E-sex, where are the Hollows?" """About jve miles inland, on the Upper road. But J,to*tte isn't there." "How do you know " "I happen to lie aware that my respected grandmamma is not at home. E-sex shook his head as I asked eagerly. "Where is she then?" "I don't think tbey have made away with her yet." "Who?" "The ducbes- and Iluntly." "Lock here, Essex," said I. "I do think it marvellous that you allow your si-ter t" be jer-ecuit d by iho.-e heanle-s people's plan*. She ought not to marry that man. It's a burning shame." "Jlr dear follow, don't get excited," -aid Paul. "You don't understand the -ituaiion. I am nobody here. I rebelled when I was twelve years old, and wa turoed out. I have never betn at home three consecutive weeks since. The duch e-s control lei my father, utterly. The property is Iter's. She means to make a rv. a't by marriage for Janette, and I have no ha-ine*s to interfere." "I sha'l interfere," said I. E-sex whistled. "My dear Larry." said he at last, "you have known the duchess two days only. Take my advice and -ave yourself a defeat." ' I am not afraid of an enemy," said 1. "I -hall not stand by and see a gir! sacri ficed to an old Least like that for want of a ittle pluck on my (tart." "Larry." exclaimed Pau', "you are a good felUiw. I know tbi- marriage is a sin. but l ie seen so many sin* committed in tbi* houe that I expect I ve brc 'me har dened a* to ibe inevitable. Janette is a god girl, but she baa no chance with hot mother, who. by the way, i*o' her mother. My father married the duchess wl en I wa in tunics, and Janette was in her cradle. H re we are a model pair of children ! B Gorge, L-rry. I d have gone to the bart •one ago but for the no utory of my owi mother, who c'ung to us and prayed fur ur witii b-r dying strength." As I have sail, there was company a' Mar-bland*. The Silver* were an old fam ilv, consequently the duchess fraternized with iheui. Kite Bm kly l-ing a imor re 1 (tion, wa* a subject of the d-.ece-s' patmn age. which the young lady h rled baekwitl a hoartine*- which wa* good t -ee. The next day, and the next, I could e" no c'ue to Janette's whereabouts. H-r -tepmofher did not mention her. The ser vant* were utterly crea t u res of the duchess and though I suspected that the "Id maid who poli-hcd the grate in tny room knew al the family sreret*, no information could I evke from anv of them. But the following evening, while we were in the drawing-room. Kit t Buekly made a signal for me to c"mv to her corner. "That little thing is in this house," said she. "Where?" said L "Janote E-**x never went to her grand mother's ' said Kate. "She is shut up in ber chamber, and I suspect, kept on breao and water." "Impn-siblc ! ' said I. Mr. H intly, who wa Peking round th room in -ean;h of somtliing, cast a quick furtive glance at nie. "I didn't sleep well last night." said Ka'< "and ro*e early this morninc. Hear nc aunt's mad step in the hall, I opened tb door of tny room, and as I spoke to Ro-ine, that sour old woman th-y call Htnnali wen by with a tray containing a slice of hrea' and a g'a-s of water. It was six o'cWk. and hardly light. I wondered who tha bread and water was for. I thought of i until an idea crept into my head, and I -tar ted on a tour of investigation. I followed the direction H-nnah bad taken, and at las came to a little hidden door in a niche at the end of the long hall. I pot my ear to the lock, and heard some one sigh. I lis tened a moment; ad was silent within. " 'Janette,' said I. A st-p otitic to ibe door inside. " "M's- B ick'y,' -aid Janeit-'s voice " l A*e you -hut up in here?" I asked. " "Ye*,' she whi-pered. " 'Well, never min 1, my dear,' said I, ,it won't be lor long and that old Camilla Huntly, never shall have you.' "Then I came away, and this i* the fir-t chance I have had to tell you. And oow go away : the duchess musiti t see us whi-pet tng tog- ther any longer." I mad- a feint of'fliitmx wi-h MM Maud Silver, for those cold blue eyes I had l-arucd to dread were on me. By-aud-by I slipped over and told Ess. x the news, and had the gitisf ei n of heating hint swear softly. That night, after all the house was abed Kate and Paul and I slipped down stair' into the drawing room, and made our plans. The first thing that *< to be done was for Paul and I to take ourselves out of the way. Accordingly I made my adieux to the duchess, the next morning, saying that I was goine to take the beat for Kant, and -he would favor me greatly if she would make use of my bcrse until my return. For the first time her grace smiled on toe. Kate remained. On the day of our de parture Janette made her appearance in the drawing-room, looking very wan and pale, *nd submitting patiently to Huntly's atten tions. " The ext morning the cards for Madam M dyneux's grand ball came. Paul and I waiting pitieotly at the Hrif-way Hou*e, •*b>at a mile from Marshland's received due notice of their arrival. Janette, who seldom went out. had been promised permsin to go. Preparations were promptly commemoed. The duchess was very affable. She called Hourly "Cyril" and superintended Jao -tte'a toilet. The fimilv carriage, as had been foreseen contained only the duchess and t he Silver*. Huntly was to take Kate and Janette in a two-wheeled cartiage, an arrangement which -eetned satisfactory until the last mina'e, when Kate declared there tri no room for Huntly—he would crush their dresses, and -he C"uld Jtivc Vic herself. "My dear, who ever heard of a lady dri ving a b'ooded horse to a ball!" exclaimed Aunt Silver. "The animal is perfectly gentle and kind," aid Kate. "I am accustomed to driving. <ti'l prefer to do so. Mr. Huntly, you can get our y.tur carriage, and take coa-iri Maud if you like. The ark is crowded, anyway." He drove two white Hungarian horses. '"You will keep c'ose to us, Miss Buck ly," said the duchess, as the great family carriage moved from the door. '"I will keep close to Mr. Huntly," said Kate. "It is just light enough for me to -ee his white horses, if they are ahead. Drive on, if you please, sir," holding Vie in until he had passed. The calracade wound up the road. Ja nette was trembling like a leaf; but Kate's nerves were as steady as a man's. It wa-asofl, murky night. They couid hear ea-h other's voices in the dark.

I kept a sharp look out. ani at length heard the sound of flying wheels. I took the whip out of the socket. Vic heard it, and leaped forward like the wind. "He has two horses," said Janette, in a trembling voice. "But he will not catch us," said I. If I had needed any inspiration but what my heart gave me, I -hould have found it m her little pale, brave face. As we dash ed on, uiy face seemed to cleave the cold air. The wheels struck a stone, and we began to sway from side to side. I was orced to draw in and take a new start. But iu that instant we beard Huntly coming on furiously. I touched Vic with the whip, thtn held her in with all my wight. Oar speed now was fearful! I could hrdly see the road ; but my mare kept it well. Huntly was lashing hi- horses and ursing.

We reached my mother's house at fout o'elock in the morning. Before noon Ja nette and I were married. The Dext day he duchess drove up to the door, and de uiandvd her daughter.

VOL.. 43: XO 12. superiority of asierican xanii- EAUTIKtS There are a gTeat many people who ni - pose that everj thing imported isbe ter than American productions, without taking tie trouble to inquire into the fact-; but it was fully demonstrated st the Paris ExpoJiion that s very large proportion of our Domes tic Manufactures are snperior to thoe im ported from Europe, and American Manu facturers in proportion to the number of ex hibitors tok the largest percentage of pre miums. The following taken from the L in don Time*, calls the attention of English manufacturers to this subject: AHERICAJt SUPERIORITY. "The present depression of trade has brought with it this one advantage, that the best informed and most experienced authoi itiee on the subject have directed their in quiries impartially and ably to the di-cov ery of its origin and character. At Bir mingham the Chamber ofCotumerce ha-ju-t reasoned out very sensibly the cause of the depression in me metal trad -s, and the re port hits the truth ax once by spe.kiug of the "prosperity"' which preceded the late panic as "artificial." Five years ago a pro fu-ion of capital was invested in "new fur naces, n-w ironworks and new manufactor ies," and it has been the fashion to suppose that all those promising establishments were ruined simply by the collapse of commercial confidence But the fact i.s that production could not have been maintained at the new rate. There wa< 00 sufficient demand for the products which these new concerns were : prepared fo furnish. So long as there wa capital which was willing to let itself be ah * Tbed in them at a 10-s they might hate cotrived to live, but no longer; and the same may he said of other indu-tria! com panics established by the score elsewhere. They never really represented prosperity of trade, but only immoderate speculation. No manufacturing bu-ioes# can be support ed except hy a market, and the market can ■ inly be preserved by the popularity of the goods produced. At this moment Bir mingham is losing its old markets. A few years ago it used to supply the United States largely with edged tool-, farm imp'e uients, and various sunal er wares. It doe so no longer; nor is the cause to be sought merely in the American tariff. It is (oun 1 that the manufactures of America actually supersede us, not only in their own, but foreign markets and in our own colonies, and the Birmingham Chamber has the sa gacity to discover and the courage to declare that this is owing to the superiority ol American goods. Something, of course, i due to the action of trade unions and the artificial enhancement of wages. "II the wagts of our artisans are to be very much less tbao those of the workingmen in other coantries with which we have to compete," it will be impossible, says the report, "for us to maintain anything like a monopoly of trade." This is clear, and yet it is frankly acknowledged that the price of labor is not the ruling element of the question. High as are the wages of an Eugli h artisan, those of an American arti-an are higher still, and yet the manufacturers of the United States .■an import iron and steel from this country at a heavy duty, work up the metal by high ly paid labor, aud beat us out of the market a'ter all with the manufactured articles. How is that to be explained? The Americans succeed in supplanting ü by "novelty of construction and excellence of make." They do not attempt to under sell us in the mere matter of price. Our goods may still be the cheapest, but they are DO longer the best, and in countries where an axe, for instance, is an indispensa ble implement the best article is the cbtap e-t, whatevir it may cost. Settlers and emigrants soon find this out, aod they have tound it out to the prejudice of Birminghmi trade. Here, again, the ''panic" ba- noth ing whatever to do with the result. N. ith rr "confidence" nor capital could restore s matk* t lost hy inferiority of products. It the Birmingham manut—"urers desire to re gain their trade they must improve the quality of their goods. The que-tion is Dot, a- the report confesses, essentially or prin cipally a que-tion of wages. It is not the price of labor which is o|>eratine to our di— advantage. The tiue cause of our defeat must be attributed "to the greater aptttud ofmanvof the foreign workmeo, arid their intelligence, which induce- them to siize every opportunity of improving their manu factures." Flow MARBLES ARE MADE.—The Chief place of the manufacture of ''marbles,' • hose little round pieces of stoDe which con tribute so largely to the enjoyment of "Young America," is at Obersiine, on the Oahe, in Germany, where there are large •gate mills and quarries, the refuse of which is carefully turned to good paying account by being made into the marbles employed by experts to knuckle with, which are mostly sent to the American market. The sub stance used in Saxony is a hard calcareou tnoe, which is first broken into blocks, near ly square, by blows with a hammer. Those ■ are thrown by the one hundred or two hun- j dred into a sort of mill, whieh is formed of a flat stationary slab of stone, with a nutaber j .if concL..ic upon its face. A block j •if oak, or other hard wood, of the same di j anutric sire, is p'aced over ihe small stone and partly resting upon them. This block or log is kept revolving while water flows j upon the stone above. In about fifteen minutes the stones are turned to spheres j and then, being fit for sales, are hencefoith j called "marbles. ' 0e establishment, con taining only three of these rude mills, will turn out full sixty thousand "marbles ' in j each week. Agates are made into "mar bles," at Oberstein, by fir.-t chipping the j pieces nearlv round with a hammer, han : died hy a skillful workman, and then wear ing down the edge upon the surface of a large grindstone.

A few weeks ago, a gentleman living in an Eastern town was called out of his bed one morning by several vigorous raps upon his front door. Hastily dressing him; rif, he re.-pooded to the call, and fonud stand, iog upon the step an uncouth, roughly clad boy. with an axe on his shoulder, who, has tily thrusting his hand into his pantaloons pocket, drew out a small roil, and handing i it to Judge H , said; "There's seventy-five dollars, which I want you to pat in the savings-bank," and hastily turned on his heel and started away. The Judge, slightly disconcerted at the curious proceeding, scarcely knew what to say, till at length, recovering his wits, he cried out after the boy; "Stop ! come back here. How did you come hy this monev?" "I WORKED. AND EARNED IT, SIR. My time was out last night, and I got my ror n-y. I've got a job of chopping, which I begin on this morning, end I thought I'd "eive the money with you as I went to work, and then it wouldn't take up my lime this evening wbeo I waut to study." "What is your name, aty boy ?" asked the Judge. "I wrote it on the paper that I wrapped the money up in," shooted the little wood chopper as he passed cn to his work. That boy's note for a thousand dollars i due ten vara hence would he as good as ' gold. If he has his health, he will be worth dooh'e that then. He is beginning in the right way. The very day his time was out for the snminer, he ectrr-d upon another job, and immedi | ately placed the money he had wotked for where that would work for hint; and with an economy of time which is tnore to be \ praised than his wise forethought with re gard to n ooey, he could not endure to have a moment drvoted to anything bat his books when the long evenings caiue. Five years from to-day with a good educa tion, with good habits, with a few hundred dollars, whith he has earned by work, his chances fur place in the business and politi cal world will be lar greater than those of the spcndthtifi boy who, born with fortune, begins without knowing the worth of tnon •y, and instead of going up, goes down.— | Hearth and Hume, A swzts visiting his girl the other day i found her putting up preserve*, anu covering ' '.be jars with his lore-letter*.
