JOHN GRANT AND IdYSELF.
BY d&TltAitthE lIASITLTON
CHAPTETt
To-morrow I am going to. be married-L4
who have been given over as au old " maid
for au indefinite nurnber , of years. The
expeeted" event, mates . quite a counnotion
in our hitherto quiet household. My moth
es says, `,`what can I .do without you?
Who, will make the "pastry,•ana. cake—and
see to the dinners and . the children's
clothes? And my dear father, whose dark
hair, begins to "be sprinkled with silver,
says mournfully. "I cannot spare my
31argaret," though I think be Is . secretly
pleased that his
. pet Maggie , is to have
'such ; a noble husband, after all. :
. My
roguish"brother Tom goes'abOut the house
singing— _ - . • . .
"There Is no goose ; however gray, bat soon or late;
She'll find EOM honest gander for her mate."
And 1 1 —all this seems very strange to
me. • cannot make it real. that the bridal
dress, of snowy satin, with, the gossamer
veil and wreath of orange flowers, can be
for plain'Allargaretlindson. But the stran
gest or all is, that I am to marry "John
Grant„' whom I learned toloVe years ago,
but all, thoughts of whom I strove,. with
God'' help, to Ott far from inc.
five years now since that morning
in early summer, when we walked torfali r
er thrOugh the green woods, the ‘l..aves
stirred by a gentle wind, and' the bids
Singing their morning songs. IVe were a
little apart front the rest ofour arty,„and
when we had gathered our hands Hi of
the sweet wild flowerg that scattered,with
pvtiisipli at our feet—we . sat -down 'upon
a flat rock to wait for,them. I was happy
on that June nforninr•as 1: sat on thgt mossy
rock ibv.the side of John Grant, while he
wreaih w ed the buds ; and blossoms. and , the
dark green leaves of the trailing arbutus,
among the braids of my brown hair.
W,ldid not talk much that morning, !
and we had i;at in silence several moments
when; John 'suddenly said, "Margaret, I
I want to tell you something;” it was not
the words-that made my heart heat so,
and the hot blood rush To. my cheeks and
forehead, for we . luttliown, each other for
a long time, and he bad often made a con
fident °rine ; btrtit was•:the low tone,
full of new and strange tenderness, that
thrilled my whole being. I do' not ktiow,
but perhaps My voice trembled a little as
I said, " what is it, JAM ?" " - Mag
gie, dear,"—but the Sentence ifs, not
finished just then'the rest of the: party
madeltheir appearance 'and effectually put
to an end, all confidential conversation.
. ~
The next day, John Grant left town On
businesi;, whieli required his presence, in a
Hdistant city for Several weeks. I did not'
see him fors some time after his return,
and when he called at last there was,sdnie
thing, in his manner, undefinable, but
yet a ehange, a restraint, which told the
that those worils once on Mk lips would.
not LC spoken. - ,
W(ieks - came and went, and again he
left hOme ostensibly for business: but it
was rumored that beautifid young lady 1
of 84-----,whose acquaintance he
made; Was the real cause of his fregnent.!
visits to that city. - I
In a little while; it was said, and upon[
good authority that John Grant was en
gagedto be married tO Mary Wallace, of
B ,andlt was also said thFit she Was
vvy Young' and • very, beautiful. Never
fill'then—till I knew he was to marry -an
other-was the_ secret of my own 'heart
revealed to me ; but then I . knew how I
had lOved ; him all hopes, joy, all
earthly happiness • was centred in him.—
E;ien now, I shudder When I think of that
featful time, When life seems snh a heavy
tuMen, and I lunged for' a'time to lay
,it
down 'in the' grave; but 1 ;could not—a
thorny path opened before me, and I was
to w:iik in it though my feet were pierced
and bleeding at every step. I had hoped
before: that was a Christian,s' that my
will had been Subdued to God's will ; but
now .my was filled with rebellious
I
mitrnthrings, and days passed ere - that stub
born spirit obeyed the voice of, its flatlet
apd mnxrtill. But, thank God, the time
did collie when I looked up through tears
and siad :

Our tastes in mnany things Were Similar,
we had read 'the Saine hooks ; mid admired

speaking of some work it lately read,
and were quite t / nterested in discussing its
merits, when• Mary, suddenly checked her
happy play, and with a gravelnee walked*
silently for a fen moments at John's side:
At last she said:: •
" You never talk that wart°, me,
-but it's becauseßdon't know enough."
"You know enough for Me,' dear," lie
answered.
But she • went on.' ;a. secOnd.

went her way through the - avenue leaning ,
on his arm,

falling on her ggolden :lair, - making 1 her
very beautiful.

eighteen - hundred people - occupied its
while the enclOsiwes .on each

inconveniently full, all *wafting," anxious, :
discontented; yet- curious.
At four o'clock precisely,. Blondin, the,
immortal, appeared in his suit of clothes;-I
resembling that ;wore by the individuals
who put themselves ; tout of joint for. a,
compensation in peripatetic 'exhibitions
called circuses. 'He immediately took his

and went 'at quarter horse' speed to the

FARM'S EXIILUXTION.
Owing to a one-ness Of person,'. and Sin-'
gleiiess of individuality, it was , impossible:
for .us to be at the,Suspezision Bridge and'
at Niagara Falls, at the same dine._ Con,
seqiiently we are without a personal re-::
port Of Farini's : feats on - the . cable. We,
therefore let the Niagara .-Falls Gazette,
tell the storyfor him. The says:. .
"We-heard it frequently' remarked • that .
31. Blondin
_would not undertake to per.'
form such a feat on a rope as slack as
:•inrs`,-'and it'is no discredit to him - if such
is the case, for-it is a frightful-,operation
with everything prepared in 'the most fa-:
vorablelnanner. The 'Signor's cable is
not 'strictly a tight rope, but it is' very
slack; and not only,settles as he :steps on
but hits a lateralmotion, which renders
it extremely difficulty and.tof course hazard
-onli-to walk • omit. , NoW most •pcople
wonder Why. he .persists.. in Walking. on
such a slaek rope. 'The fact is he . prefers
to - do'so; because: it shoWs - greater. skill_
and . daring. • • .
After spending sometime in : fixing the
_ ys, he was ready for a start, and appear- -
ed, at the end of the ,cable, with :his man.
The man selected to bear hini company . on
this perilous journey- was Mr. -Rowland
