A BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.
"This Louse to letP
It looked very big and imposing,
this roticewnr. its fat, black capital
letters, against the white ground,
and Mr. Dart stepped complacently
backward to eye the general effect of
it alter rie bad watered the document
safely on the front door.
" This hous to let !" repeated Mr.
Dart, slowly to himself. " If people
can't read that, they must be blind !
Now, I'll go in and wait for some
one to bite at the bait Xo bother
of real estate agents for me no com
mission to eat up half the rent. I'll
transact my own business, or else
I'll go into a lunatic asylum !"
Mr. Dart was a fat, fussy little el
derly gentleraan, with a Very short
figure and a temper to match, and
as he sat in the pretty reception
room, belonging to the brown-stone
Enclifih VirH8f whirh h rind thf
or bad fortune tOOWU, and be
locked not unlike a big bumblebee
in tbe beart of some huge tropical
118wer. For the room was papered
in pink and silver, and the carpets
were moofi-green velvet, and tbe fur-
Ullli. ... m
and there wss a general airof refine
ment about the room, which seemed
oddly incompatible with its brusque,
plainly-dressed occupant-
" It's trouble, trouble, and nothing
but trouble," grumbled Mr. Dart, as
he mused, after his own saturnine
fashion over the trials incidental to
tbe position of landlord. " When it
isn't taxes its leaky water pipes, and
then it isn't that it's your neighbors
drain overflowing your cellar, or
your tenant taking French leave
without paying his rent. I wish I
was back on the old Stonyfield farm
sea in, raising strawberries and caul
iflower. And I will be. too. Ill give
this house to Harry Fie.d ; he s a
good boy, and has always been a
dutiful nephew to his scolding old
uncle, and if he reallyhas fallen in
love with this pretty Olive Melton,
it won't be a bad wedding present.
I hope 6hes worthy of him but
all women are artificial now-a-days,
and I belive it would break mv
heart to ste him wretched. He'll
not do anything without my appro
bation, and I suppose I must let him
have his own way. and go with him
to see her this evening. For hallo,
there! what's wanting?"
For a tali, belligerent-looking man
had given divers energetic jerks to
the bell-knob.
Is this bouse to let?" he deman
ded, verv red in tbe face from much
bell-pulling, as Mr. Dart thrust bis
head out at the window.
"Yes, sir, it is.'1
"How much is tbe rent?"
" Tto thousand dollars."
" It's too much for a house in this
locality."
" You think so. sir?"
Yes. sir, I do."
" Well, sir, what a consolation it
must be to you that you are not
obliged to pay it."
Ard Mr. Dart drew his head back
and flammed down the window, to
the inexpressible rage of tbe tall
man.
Hardly bad he ceased congratu
lating himself on his masterly ma
neuver when a second peal reminded
him that "this house" was yet "to
let."
This time it was a fat woman, with
greasy black curls, a slovenly shawl
and crnrrpled bonnet, and an abun
dance of cheap rings on ber fingers.
She went all over tbe bouse, opened
all the closet dooss, investigated ev
ery separate cupboard-shelf, and fi
nally raooe to the conclusion that
tbe house "would do."
"For. you see, I want a large
house." said she confidentially, to
Mr. Dart. "I keep a children's
school, and "
" Yoa do, eh ?" said Mr. Dart.
44 Well, von cant keep it here."
Surely you dont object to child
ren," cried the fat woman with the
greasy curls.
M Most assuredly I do," said Mr.
Dart.
" Well. I'm astonished I" cried the ,
ext1.KaB fivnint I
-Very likely," said Mr. Dart, bow- and was still racking his brain when '.anver oi an express wagon, ana

" I don't like the bouse at ail 1"
.Kooeswrl the ld ladv but IU tive
you fifteen hundred a year for it."
"I dont thint we shall agree,

"It's a poor, tumble-down

" Good mornice, ma'am," 6aid Mr.
rwt. shuttles' th Dair out on the
" I've a ereat mind to take down
the bill," he thought, with ruffled,
temper and face like a radien. x
hadn't an idea there was eo rnucn
meanness in human nature. Dear,!
dear, there comes someoony eise
two ladies. I wish thev were Dot
ladies. I can kick a man down
stairs when he rays an impertinent
thing to me, but I don't known how
to deal with women. Ah Apolia !
but that nearest one is a clipper!''
The ladies who now applied for
the privilege of seeing the house
were evidently mother and daughter
a subdued, weak little woman in
black, and a tall, handsome girl of
eighteen or nineteen, with brilliant
black eyes, a complexion like snow
and roses, ana a singularly naughty
way of carrying her lovely head
Sir." becan the mother, as they
were ushered into the marble-paved
hall by Mr. Dart, but the young la
dv interrupted her.
"Do hold vrur tongue, mother,
she said sharply, "lean manage
matters a great deal the best. Are
you the agent of this house, sir?"
" Yes,"eaid Mr. Dart, with a queer
expression in his eyes.
" And is two thousand tbe lowest
rent tbe verv lowest?"
" Yes."
" I told you so, dear," interposed
the elderly lady, meekly. " Our
means will not permit "
"There you go again," snapped
the daughter, "with your everlast
ing cackle about means, means! I'm
6ick and tirtd of the sound of it.
Will you show us over the house,
sir?".
"Mr. Dart obeyed, in his inmost
heart pitying the subdued mother,
who was so abruptly "put down" by
her shrewish daughter. While the
tall young lady swept like a queen
through the passages, pausing in
each room to survey its adaptations
for tbe purposes to which she had
assigned it in her mind.
" I like tbe house," she said, im
periously, as they paused at length
in the lower hall. "Mother, you
must take it.
'My darling." deprecated the
mother, in a low voice, "two thous
and dollars a year ! and papa's sal
ary is only twelve hundred, besides
tbe interest we have to pay."
" Pshaw !" was the ungracious re
sponse, "do have done with your
lecturing. What do I care whether
papa is pleased or not? I'm going
to tie marri'd, thank goodnesss, and!
get away from all your erovelings
and grumblings. A rich tool of a
husband is better than no hugband
at all."
ti.Whad iaiiefl"mi!Wn..cftwrrRo,
" You are not sure of it yet, and be
sides "
" Yes, I am." said the daughter,
sharply. "Don't I tell you he's com
pletely under my thumb? And do
vou suppose I would be married
from such a hole as that little house
in March street? Of course you
and papa would like to have me
mortified as much es possible, but
I'd have vou to know I'll not sub
mit to it!"
And turning to Mr. Dart, who
was an unwilling and unedified lis
tener to the conversation, she said
in a louder accent:
" We shall take the house. My
father will call and Fee you to-morrow.
Let thi- be taken down."
And she elided away, more like
Queen Semiramis than ever, with
the meek little mother following, a
look of pained perplexity on her
face.
" Humph !" said Mr. Dart, draw
ing a lone breath, as silence once
more settled down upon his domains.
" What a tartar that black -eyed girl
is, to be sure! As for takine down
the bill, with her permission, I shall
do no such thing, until I'm quite
certain the house has been let."
He persisted in bis resolution, and
in consequence thereof the mansion
was besieged all day long with a
swarm of house-hunters, each more
greedy, unconscionable and fault
finding than tbe last.
At sunset Mr. Dart rushed out
and tore down the bill.
"Ill have one good night's rest, at
all events," he murmured between
bis clenched teeth. "What security
have I that they won't rout me out
of my bed to know whether the wa
ter pipes go up to the fourth storv
or no, or whether I'll put in a dumb
waiter without extra expense? I'll
paste the bill up again early to-morrow
morning, and in tbe meantime
111 dress myself in a befitting man
ner to go with Harry, and call on
the young lady he admires so great
ly." At S o'clock Twriselv Mr. D9rti
was ready, in bis nest suit of invisi
ble green, with an old-fashioned ruf
fled shirt, from whose snowv plait
flashed tbe glitter of diamond studs.
his gold-headed cane and new kid
gloves, to say nothing of a bunch of
violets in his button-hole.
"For all ladies like flowers,"
thought tbe old bachelor, 5n the sim
plicity of his heart
"Why, uncle," cried Harry Field,
gleefully, "how nice you look."
"Do I?" said the old gentleman,
complacently. "Well, I flatter my
self I am about the correct thing
Come on, mv bor, or we ehall be
late."
" It's not far," saie Harry. " It's

both his hands in bis pockets. . "1

She could not deny it she dare

Olive Melton tried to call them
back, but the syllable died away on
her parched lips and the next in
stant she was alone !
Mr. Darts house was "let" the
next day to a cozy widow, and the
two best appartments are occupied
by the uncle and nephew, who keep
''bachelor hall'' in fine style.
"And I believe," the cozy widow
says, in reference to her two favor

man really means to live and die a
bachelor ; but as for Mr. Harry as
long as there's youth there's hope!"
But Olive Melton's chances are
gone, now and forever.
'Vvordaworth and Teonyaon.
The difference in manner between
the two poets is considerable. If
Wordsworth carried his head in tbe
skies, be too often' allowed it to be
seen that bis. feet walked the bas6
best, or so bad at bis worst ; anu itno
criticism, which holds good of the
mass of his work, is particularly true
of that portion of it which has a po
litical bearing. He could transmute
his matter into the purest gold, or
debase it by a most inordinste mix
ture of alloy. The sonnets are mag
nificent, and, after those of Milton,
superior to any in the English lan
guage; but the political reflections
strewn through the Prelude that
unfortunate experiment to epicise
(if the word may be avowed) the
moral and intellectual history of an
individual are often presented in a
form as bald and unpoetical as their
matter is really pregnant and sound.
On the other band, Tennyson as a
statesman is invariably at his best,
for not only does he bring to bear
upon bis subject a broadness of jgtaropede for tbe new regions Tbe
conception and an elevation of tone Countrv is described as healthful,
not inferior to the sonnets of Words- entirely free from malaria, and the
worth, but his splendid powers of ! temperature ranging in tbe foot hills
imagery, and bis unique mastery ofi0f the mountain ranges, where tbe
diction" are here seen in their fullest pla(erg are to be found, at from 7S3
perfection. An anthology of Tenny- t0 75' te year round.
son's political utterances would be
no unfair test of his poetical ability.
These differen-es, however, of man
ner and surroundings, are balanced
by a similarity of opinion which is
quite extraordinary. Passages from
tbe two poets can be set side bv side
covering tbe entire field of politics,
and exhibiting, often with an ap
proximate identity of expression an
absolute identity of thought. Firstly,
in the domain of Foreign affairs,
Wordsworth and Tennyson have
jointly advocated a foreign policy in
strict accordance with tbe best tradi
tions of conservatism. Its four dis
tinguishing notes are the love of
country, tbe preservation of freedom,
the suppression of tyranny, and the
maintenance of empire. The -Ya-tional

She Fumigated.
A woman went down into the
Grand Trunk depot the other day to
see about some freight expected
from Canada, and after looking over
bis files the sgent informed ber that
the goods had arrived in Windsor,
but were being fumigated.
" What business have they to open
my boxes over there? loudly de
manded the woman.
"Oh, they won't open the boxes at

Mr. Rector, who has been on the

here tbat the discovery is likely to
prove as important a one as any of

tributary streams of the Rio Patuca,

It requires no citizenship to work

apparent remoteness of the country
and the lack of adequate capital has
prevented anything like systematic

" I thought you was a sport,'' re

was a threwd looking lad with pierc

Etbica of Rest.
Let every won. an who finds her
vita' forces failing, who is growing
nervous, as well as always weary,
whose chief longing is for rest of
mind and body, who begins to feel
that li!e is not worth the living, .-top
now and here. Cut off all expendi
ture fif effort tbat i not an absolute
necessity, and curtail that necessity
i as much as pos-ible. I do not mean
that you should give up your worthy
aims and purports, but r.e sure that
you can devote yourself to them
safely.
Remember this : It is as import
ant that you should keep a reserve

So lore as youth lasts you do not
greatly feel this exhaustion of the
physical forces, tbat i, your powers
of recuperation are greater, yet ev
ery time ynu drsw upon your
strength to excess, you are obliged
to go deeper and deeper into your
vita! resources in order to make re
pairs. And von rtever do get onite
back to tbe old place, even thongh
vou are Dot conscious at the time of
the fact. You find that after a while
thiit a right's sleen doe- not make
vou as good as new again, after
''overdoirz." but it take another
dav of rest and r.ieht of slumber to
enable you to cet back your usual
vigor.
You can not help it ? I know tbat
is true rf some of you, tbat there
are duties so absolute in their de
mands tbat you are compelled to do
them so 1 re as you are able tolear

part could, an ye would diminish:

Personal'tiea and III Report.
Keep clpr of personalitie? in gen
eral conversation. Talk of things
objects, thoughts. The smallest
rr.ind? occupy themselves with per
sonalities Personalities must some
times be talked because we have to
learn anil find out men's character
istics for legitimate objects ; but it is
to tie with confidential persons Do
not heer!leiy report ill of other?.
There are time? when we are com
pelled tosav, "I do not think Boone-
er a trne and honest man. tui

opinion. let poor Hour.cer swagger
awav. Others will tase his measure
no doubt, and save you the trouble
of analyzing him and instructing
them. And a? far a? possible dwell
on the good side of human beinr".
There are family boards where a
constant process of depreciating, as
sizning motives, and cutting up
character goes forward. They are
not pleasant p.ljce?. Ore who is
healthy does? not wish to dine at a
dissecting table. There i? evil
enough in man. God know? ! But it
is not the mission of every young
man and woman to detail and re
port it all. Keep the atmosphere as

pure as possible, and fragrant witn
cess and chanty.
