ROBERT'S WIFE.
I am real sorry about Uncle James."
There was real sorrow in Robert Frank
lin's voice and eyes as he spoke, and the
lady who listened drew her merry, saucy
flice into dolorous puckers to suit the oc
casion.
"Because you see," continued Robert,
"he fancies because you have twenty
thousand dollars that you are a fine lady,
affected and useless, not the wife for a
poor farmer !"
"We must show him his mistake," was
the reply
"But be will not see you. lle positively
forbids you coming over to the farm."
"Does---does he know that we are mar
ried ?"
'•I have not dared to tell him. Cow
ardly is it not ? But he is my only rela
tive, and I love him dearly. It is not be
cause he owns the farm and can leave a
little money, Daisy."
"Hush, love ; I know," Daisy answered,
putting a soft, white hand over her hus
band's lips.
"I had no other father or mother either,
for that matter, in all my life," continued
Rol,ert; "and if the farm is dreary, it is
home."
"And you do not like to be banished
Well, if you will keep your promise and
send Jane over to see me, you shall not
be. Now talk of something else. Oh,
how can I let you go for two long months !"
For Robert - Franklin had 'Undertaken
to go in person to see about some Western
lands in which his uncle had invested,
and which threatened to involve him in
loss. Daisy could not well take the long
journey and Insides, Daisy had other
schemes in her wise little head. Loving
Robert well, she resolved to remove the
only shadow from his life—the resolute
opposition of his uncle to a fine lady wife.
Robert Frinklin had been gone from
the farm three days when his Uncle James
yielding most reluctantly to the pangs of
his old enemy, chronic rheumatism, told
Jane, his servant, that he must remain in
his room. The old woman answered
promptly : "If you arc going to be laid
up, Mr. Franklin, I mast have sonic help.
I'ei getting too old, too, sir ; and trotting
up and down stairs isn't as easy a:4 it was
tw•mity years ago."
"But who will some, Jane? Girls are
not plenty here, as you know."
-I've a neice, sir, would come to me,
though she'd never live out."
"Send ibr her, then, and—oh, rub my
leg, will you?"
_ _ _
Late in the afternoon, a little bustle be
low stairs told the invalid of the arrival
of the neice. She came with one trunk
in a wagon from the railway station, and
standing in the wide, dreary-looking
kitchen,looked a picture of healthy beauty.
Soft brown curls gathered in a rich knot
left little crinkey ringlets on her forehead
and caressing the round, , white throat;
large brown eyes lighted a sweet, fltir face,
and the neat dress of blue woolen covered
a dainty figure.
"Will you go up stairs, Miss-?"
Jane hesitated.
"Margaret !" said the new comer.—
"Don't call your neice Miss, whatever you
do. My name is Margaret. Has Mr.
Franklin had his supper ?"
"Not yet. There's his dinner, you see,
scarcely tasted."
Margaret looked at the big tray, the
blue plate with food heaped upon it, the
two-pronged fork and a half sailed napkin,
and did not wonder at the neglected food.
"Show me where the things are, and I
will get supper," she said.
Jane led her from closet to closet. In
one uas a set of gilt-edged china, sonic
fine table linen, table silver, and some
glass.
"Those were bought thirty years ago,"
whispered Jane, "when Mr. Franklin ex
pected to be married. She died, and
they have never been used."
With her pretty face saddened by the
hidden tragedy of those few words, Mar
garet took a small tray from the shelf, and
covering it with a snowy napkin, selected
what she wanted from the closet and went
again to the kitchen.
James Franklin, weary with the effort
to hold a book in his aching hands, was
now sitting in a deep arm chair, musing,
when Margaret tapped at the door.
"Come in !"
But he started as she obeyed. Such a
sweet, bright face, was new in the dismal
old farmhouse, strongly in contrast with
the bare ; meagre room, and desolate air
surrounding her.
"I have brought your supper," said she,
drawing a little table near the arm-chair,
and covering it with a white cloth. Then,
going to the door she entered again with
a tray. Upon a white china dish was half
a chicken delicately browned, a potato
roasted in the ashes, and a slice of but
tered toast; and besides this, a delicate
cup of fragrant tea.
"You must not scold if I have anything
wrong," said a clear, sweet voice, "because
Aunt Jane is too busy to look after me.
I cleaned the fork and spoon, for silver
gets dreadfully black." Then more ten
derly as she marked the painful effort to
move the tortured fingers—" Let me cut
the chicken, sir."
Grimly wondering, the old man suffered
himself to be fed, finding appetite as the
well•prepared food was eaten, and listen
ing, well pleased to the cheery voice so
unfamiliar to his lonely life.
"Jane," Margaret said, sitting down
the tray in the kitchen again, "I don't
wonder he is sick—no carpets, no curtains,
that great hearse of a bed, and nothing
pretty near him."
"It's all clean," said Jane.
"Clean it is, but oh !so doleful. Can't
we fix up a cosy room ?"
"There's room enough; six on that
floor," said Jane, "and none used but the
one Mr. Franklin's in, and Mr. Robert's,
the little one next to it."
•Well, we'll see to-morrow. Can I
have a man to send to town if I want any
thing ?"
'There's men enough. Will you sleep
down here to-night. or in one of the rooms
up stairs ?"
"Down here, in the next room to yours."
.
"It is now all ready. I'll go up now
and make Mr. Franklin comfortable f'or
the night.
"Comfortable!" Margaret said shiver
ing.
But the next morning, after putting a
tempting breakfast before the invalid,
Margaret selected the vacant bedroom she
meant to adorn for his use. It was large,
with four windows, light and cheerful, as
well suited for her purpose.
In the intervals of directing Jane, send
ing the man to town with her orders, and
giving her own dainty touch to everything,
Margaret Visited the invalid,—reading to

him, chatting with him, and making the
long hours fly by. It W: late in the af
ternoon when she Can's in to say :
"Mr. Franklin, the room across the hall
has a southern exposure, and I think you
will find it more comfortable than this
one. Will you try to get there it' Aunt
Jane and I will help you ?"
"I ant very well here."
"But you will be better there. Please
come."
So he yielded ; but once fairly in the
room, he could not repress a cry of amaze
ment. Softly carpeted, white curtained,
a bright fire crackling in the stove, a
dainty supper spread upon the table, the
room was cosy and cheery enough to coax
a smile from the grimmest lips. Vet when
James Franklin sank into the bright
chintz-covered easychair and looked around
him, everything looked strangely familiar.
That was the parlor carpet taken from the
never-opened room below ; those were the
parlor curtains freshly starched and ironed,
and held back with knots of broad, pink
ribbon. The bed, bureau, wardrobe,
chairs, all were his own, polished till they
shone again. The snowy bed linen, the
white counterpane, the bureau covers with
their knotted fringe were all his sister's
work, stored away in chests since she
died—long, long years ago. Even the
chintz on the chair was part of some old
curtains he had stuffed away in the long
forgotten corner of a closet.
"It is very comfortable, and yon are a
good thoughtful girl," he said, looking
around with a keen appreciation of the
added comfort. "I wonder we never
thought of using these things."
"Now let me read the rest of our book
to you. I have some new periodicals in
my truck if you will look at them."
The days flew by, cold weather strength
ening, till Robert wrote he was coming
home ono chilly January day. Margaret
had been busy for a fortnight before in
the lower part of the house, but Mr.
Franklin asked no questions. He had
been very ill, but was recovering, so he
hoped to welcome Robert in the sitting
room. How he shrank from returning to
its dreariness and sending Margaret away,
he told nuone till he held his nephew's
hand fast clasped in his own.
"I can never tell you, Robert," he said
then, "what Margaret has been to me.—
No daughter could have tended me more
patiently and faithfully, and when I could
Ikon, she read to inc and talked as pleas
antly as if I were a companion to her, in
stead of a grumpy old bachelor past sixty."
"I am very glad you have been well
cared for," Robert said, turning his head
to hide a merry twinkle in his eye; "you
look very fine here."
But when he carefully led the old mau
to the sitting room, both were amazed.—
Was the handsomely-carpeted, cheerfully
furnished room, the dreary old place in
which they had been so contented ?
While they wondered, a new sound greeted
them, the tones of a piano touched by skill
ful.fingers,and a voice sweet and clear,sing
ing a song of praise. Throwing open the
(;oor to disclose a beautifully•furnished
parlor, Robert saw also a little figure on
the piano.stool clad in a shining black
silk, with face and pretty jewelry to adorn
it.
"Margaret !" Uncle James cried.
But Robert said softly :
"Margaret Franklin, Uncle James,
Daisy—wy wife."
Then she came forward with shining
eyes.
"I wanted to make you love me," she
sail in a low, tender voice, "for Robert's
sake."
~And for your own," he answered ; '
"but lam bewildered, my dear. Where
did these things come from ?"
"From my old home. They are all mine,
and you will let them stay here, will you
not? for our new home !" she added slyly,
slipping her hand into Robert's. I don't
want to take Robert from yes, Uncle
James, when he is all you have to love,
but if you will give me a place here, too,
I will try to be a good daughter to you."
" Give you a place here ?" the old man
cried. "I think no greater grief could
come to me now, Margaret, than the
thought of losing you. God ever bless
you, child ! for few at your age would
have cared to so kindly overcome so ob
stinate an old man's studied prejudices."
"Thank you," she whispered, touching
her lips to his for the first time; "you
have made me very happy."
And as she presided over the carefully
appointed table, in a costly furnished di
ning room, Uncle James had used for spare
harness and bags of grain, but which was
transformed beyond recognition, there was
no cloud on the brightness of the face of
"Robert's wife."

From Newport to Quebec.
I wrote you a letter two years ago from
Newport, and as every season is about the
same, I will not tell the story again ; the
sea is as grand, the roar as eternal, the
waves as wild, the wind as high and per
petual in its revels, as of old, the beach
thronged by men women and children
eager to take a plunge into the "briny
deep," and after bathing, there are the
same forlorn, dripping human creatures
as are seen every year, but there are very
few flitting hotel guests this season, indeed
only one large hotel is open, most all who
come here have their own handsome resi
dences and remain through the entire
summer.
At Niagara there are some changes
since I last wrote. Terapin Tower has been
taken away and a sight-seeker misses it
greatly, for one had the best view from
that tower of the Canadian Fall, however
they are going to re-build another. Pros
pect Park is greatly improved, the edge of
of the high precipice overlooking the Amer
ican Fall that used to be open, without
any barrier to the falling over of a too
eager tourist, is now surrounded by a
high, solid stone wall, over which one can
gaze at the great wonder with perfect
safety. Goat Island, the mecca of newly
married couples, is as fairy-like, the
trees as tropically green, the walks as
vine-embowered and romantic, and the
boiling, raging, shining water everywhere,
all are the same in their wondrous beauty,
as in days agone. International Hotel
and the Cataract House are the best ho.
tels, most of the guests are transient, and
as they are from all sorts of places. so
they are all sorts of people of every stage
and station.
We had a rough passage across Lake
Ontario, consequently we were awfully
sick, there is no use talking about sea
sickness, description is a mockery, analy
sis a farce, it is worse than anything, one
thinks not of things terrestial or celestial,
in fact one does not think at all, but it is
miserably, disgustingly utterly quashed;
Journal.
we did smile a shadow of a smile when we
landed at the goodly city of Toronto, and
thoroughly enjoyed the solid contlitrt, (inlet
and regularity of Queen's I lotel.a langlaise.
Toronto city or about seventy-five
thousand and is growing rapidly all the
tittle; the climate in summer is delightful,
a fresh breeze always from the lake; the
churches are numerous and fine, and there
are many magnificent residences, built
generally of yellow brick and are barricaded
effectually by high walls all around the
house, an occasional open gate gives one a
glimpse of the fine lawn, ornamented by
fountains, statuary &c. That English ex
elusiveness is after all, not so culpable ;
why not hold one's home sacred from the
rude gaze of the world ; why not have se
vets that beiong only to one's own man
ago ? After a restful time at Toronto,
we took the boat through Lake Ontario and
St. Lawrance River to Montreal, the boat
was large enough to accommodate comfor
tably about 250, and there were 450 on
hoard, so you may be sure some were not
so comfortable, many having to sleep en
the floor and on tables ; and there were
not half seats enough, which cau4ed some
fighting for variety.and there was the usual
amount of rushing for seats at the table,
people setting hours in one place to be
sure of a chair and a place at &Finer ; it
is very funny and rather deplorable too, to
ace how the most polite meu and women.
forget all courtesy, and think only of
themselves and rush like so many savages,
as though the first table were the only
chance; in vain the waiters say -he patient
gentleman and ladies, there is room for
all," no one is willing to be the last, and
all want to be first.
As we sailed slowly down the St. LW-,
rence, the Thousand Isles one by one came
in view, looking like so many fairy shal
lop's, as beautiful as fancy could form, and
imagination paint;and one felt just then like
exclaiming' "0 that one of those fair isles
were my dwelling place," but I Filippo-1,•

would soon die if realized, isolation and
practicalient, are effectual levelers of ro
mantic spasms. The greatest excitement
and enthusiasm prevails when the beat ap
proaches the Rapids; so soon as the white
caps are seen. everybody is on tiptoe of
expectation, and the first wave struck. op
we go tea or fifteen feet, the white spray
dashing into our faces, then down again to
the level of the water, and again up with
billow, and so on till all are safely crossed ;
so lightly, coquetishly and swiftly we are
borne on the sparkling, capricious waves,
that one thinks not of danger or sea-sick
ness, at least we didn't. The lAchine
Rapids are the most dangerous. as they
are in a narrow passage between rocks, an
Indian guide always rows over from an
Indian village, and pilots the boat through
the boiling current ; then we pass under
Victoria Bridge/A, a mile and a inarter
long, a structure of beauty utility and
wonder ; then we are soon at Montreal,
named after Mount Royal, a mountain
which can be seen long before one lands,
at the foot of which lies the city of Men
tree!, a beautiful city it is, superb 1 7 ,n171ish
homes, and very fine business house:,
churches and public buildings, most all of
which are buiit of stone, giving the city a
substantial. time-defying and grand ap
pearance. We climbed to the top of the
French Cathedral up three hundred steps.
although it almost took our breath away.
amply repaid our toil, in the fine view of
the city, and the hills and fields that
stretched out far and wide. the city is
full of little parks and fountains. which
beautify and relieve the stateliness. The
drive around the mountains is also very
delightful and picturesque, but I must say,
the hotels are very poor, with the excep
tion of St. Lawrence Hall, which would
be a first-class house, but that it is overun,
although it is large and capacious, there
are too many there all the time, that being
the best hotel, of course it is crowded and
although waiters seem plenty, there are
not enough to give each guest sufficient
attention, and the dining-room is teo glar
ingly light, it effects one unpleasantly
when tired with traveling, to go into a
dining-room where the light dazzles the
eyes, and makes it seem hotter than it is,
then there is too much noise and clatter
ing of dishes, too much rush and tear and
tumult, the cuisine is good enough, indeed
excellent, if one is not over-fastidious and
overwhelmed by the array of French and
English dishes, which are thrust upon him
sans ceremonie.
We bad a charming sail from Montreal
to Quebec, the night a lovely moonlight,
and the steamer a palatial one, we had a
steamboat race to, and finally won. We
stopped at St. Louis Hotel, in Quebec, a
large and fine hotel and the only first-clam
house there, and as we had been their be
fore and kept fresh in our memory the
good French bread, the matchless chops,
the nnequaeled corn bread, the delicious,
real cream from "Rhode's farm." and in
fact everything better than anywhere else.
why of course, all through the hardships.
inconviences and hunger-longings of our
trip, we kept in our minds' view, the un
rivaled delicacies, the perfection of cook
ing that we had seen and tasted at St.
Louis Hotel. Alas, how great was our
disappointment, what an unhappy realiza
tion of fair hopes ; what an extinguisher
of good-humor was it, to find all changed,
bread, cakes, biscuit, nothing baked fit to
be eaten, and nothing cooked fit to be
eaten, indeed the art of cooking had fallen
to the very nadir of imperfection, as it
had before risen to the zenith of perfec
tion. Ah well, such is life:
Quebec is certainly the most interesting
city this side of the great water, quaint,
unique, primitive, uncanny is it. even the
innumerable little dogs have a peculiar
snapping, resonant bark, and the many
sisters of Mercy, with their white caps
and black gowns, priests with their sombre
robes flitting about, handsome cathedrals
with rare old paintings, one of which is
the dead figure of Christ painted by ('ham
plain, and is the most intensifying. fasci
nating, real painting that I have ever
seen—the church was offered twenty-five
thousand dollars fur it, and then there
are till, shrines with their many devotees
(not always reverent ones) and there
stand' the solemn old Pope in a niche in
side the chapel door, with the great hronze
too burnished quite bright and smooth.
with the many Catholic kisses, we noticed
one priest was very careful to wipe off the
toe ere he kissed it, what folly and super
stition those catholics are the victims of.
There are the plains of Abraham, upon
which are the Martello Towers, there is sa
underground passage from each one to the
Citadel, the Fort is well kept, the soldiers
regularly drilled and disciplined, there is
where Montgomery scaled the heights,l
and where Wolfe and Montealm fell, and
we almost expected to see those grand,
brave men, rise up from the 'alkalis of
the dead, and with their valiant saldien,
people this same field, as is the quondam
warlike days. A zummeat is mooted I.
