I wfii thoroughly enjoying myself on nno of nature's best early summer roomings: the trees were just in their early green, the meadows were yellow with buttercups, the ditches hidden by the raisture loving wild flowers. An old friend bad told me of this place, with its pretty village, its rustic rectory, and glorious trout stream ; saying.too, how tbo gentle.kind old rec tor would, if asked, give me leave to make casts from his meadows across to thehigh bank under which tho fat, speckled trout lay. Continuing along the loot-path, to where I had bean told it turned into the copse, on passing through which I should iind myself opposite the recto ry garden, 1 stopped short, for I bad suddenly come in view of a stile, by which stood a sweet-looking English maiden, simtilv dressed in holland-col- ' I J ored grass-clotli, with a plain straw hat covering the dark hair gathered in a cluster behind, bhe was very pale a pallor increased by the black velvet tie fastened beneath the little plain collar round her neck, and as hrst saw her she stood with the fingers ot her right hand lightly resting on the stile, while her Jelt was held up as if to command sileuce. It was evident that she had heard my approaching footsteps, lor sudden ly her face became animated, she clasped her hands together, a joyous smile overspread her face, and she bounded towards me. 'At last I at lastl' sho cried wildly: and then, when within a few yards of me, she stopped surrlenly, the bright look of animation faded away, as if tlio sunshine had. passed from her young life, and crossing her hands wearily upon her breast, she stood for a few momenta gazing at me, as I in voluntarily raised my soft tweed hat. 'No, no, no !' she Mid slowly, with a sigh; and looking at me agaiu wistful ly, fche turned away, through an open ing beside the atile, aud was gone. . 'Poor girl 1' I said; 'there's a sad story attached to her, I am sure.' I walked on to the stile, crossed the wood, leaped another stile; and stood in a pretty lane, close to a charmingly kept garden, running down to the road from a beautiful, rustic-looking house; not many yards from me a gray-headed old gentleman in black, with a vel vet cap on his head, was. busy, trowel in hand, planting scarlet geraniums in ouo in of the beds that dotted the vel vet lawn. Ho looked up and started slightly as he eaw me, then, bowing, he came down to the rough trellis ftuce that divided the garden from the lane. 'A nice morning,' ho 6aid, pleasant ly, as 1 raised my hat. 'Fishing, I presume 7' 'Yes,' I said, 'I was going to try.' 'And you were going to ask my leave,' he said, smiling. 'J inteuded to call after I had been into-tho village,' I said, taken a good deal aback. 'Did you leaye town this morning?' asked the old gentleman. 'Yes,' I replied, 'by the first train, and walked across from Hauntly.' Then you must be quite ready ..for breakfast, he said, referring to his watch ; 'it will be ready now.' 'Oh, thank you. no,' I stammered, for this offer of hospitality to a perfect ftranger was staggering. 'I am going down to the inn, aud then, if you will kindly permit me to whip the stream, 1 shall be very glad. 'Oh, certaiuly, certainly,' he said ; I am an o:a nsnerraan myseit, ana i be liove we of the craft are somewhat Free Masons in our way. The May fly are well on, and you will have good sport towards evening not before lie moved toward toe rustic gate as bespoke, and held it open. lut really I stammered. 'My dear sir,' said the old gentle man, 'I lead such a quiet life here that a visitor trom the great city is most welcome. You will be favoring me by comiug in and partaking of my humble fare, and besides, you will get scarcely anything at the public house below. This seemed to me quite idyllic, but I felt bound to refuse, till a glance at my host decided me, and almost before I had recovered from my astonishment I was in a cozy little room, looklog out upon a rustic verandah, clusteded with roes just budding, and being in tioduced to 'my wife,' a pleasant comely old lady, with hair like foster ed silver. The break fast-tabla was spread the snowy cloth, and the glistening coffee-pot ; at tbo other eud a bright cover that I was sure would revea ham and eggs ; there was the golden butter, the delicious-looking crusty loaf, and a neat-handed maid, with out any fuss, placed an extra plate and chair for me. 'Tell Miss Laura breakfast is ready, said the old rector, 'bhe is in the gar deu. lhen turnincr to nie 'A won eo put you at your ease,' he stud, sad OCTOBER 3, 1877. ly. 'My poor daughter suffers from a terrible mental ai'liotion. Do not speak to her; sho would not answer; she rarely speaks to us. I was quits prepared to see the lady I had encountered in the wood glide into the room and take her place op posite, and this she did without notic ing me ; and although I had been rav enously hungry just before, somehow her presence so a flee ted me that I made but a poor breakfast. As we finished the poor girl rose and glided away again, shortly after followed by her mother. 'Poor girl !' 1 said, involuntarily, and then I started, vexed at my indis cretion, for the rector laid his hand upon my arm, saving softly 'Thauk you I' He looked at me, aj I interpreted it, as if he would like to bo question, ed, and I ventured to say : 'Has sha been always so?' 'No, no,' said the old man, sadly; 'the flower was bright and vigorous once, but a blight came upon it, and since then it has faded slowly till it droops ns you see it now. 'Thy king dom come, Thy will bo done.' He said these last words in an al most inaudible tone, but I caught two or three, and I was able mentally to fill the reet. 'I can hardly think it was that,' continued the old rector, 'but she has faded awaj ever since this lime three years ago, when a gentleman of about your age was down here fishing.' 'The pld story,' I said, biyerly. 'No, my friend, no; he was staying at a little farm close by, and asked leave to fi-ih, just as you luve, and I showed him a trifle of hospitality. I believe him to have been a gentleman in every sense of the word, and at times l mink lie must nave maie n sttange impression on, my poor child. le was only here lor three days, and we have never 6een him since. Per haps it is only fancy, and my poor girl's ailment may proceed from other causes. But come, I will show you the water.' Leading the way, the old gentleman took me across tho sloping meadows, and left me at last by us beautiful a trout stream as I ever saw. 'There,' said he, 'I won't stop, but if there is uo sigu of a rise, come aud bave a bit of lunch. We shall dine at two, so as to leave you.freo for the evening, when the trout are sure to come on.' Before I could utter a word of pro test he had gone; and then, with' t hit delicious trout stream betoro me, my tackle in hand, the May-flies darting up and down, 1, an ardent Hibernian, forgot all ami sat down upon a stump, trying to bring up old memories u half-lorgotten 6tory told me by quaint lvalph Darlcy, my old inend aud companion, who had told me to go .and try this water; old Ralph, the rnisogt nist, the dry, grumpy old lei- low, who had told me one night, in his chambers in the Temple, iu one of his rare bursts of confidence, as we sat at the open window smoking, how he bad ouch seen a girl whom be could have loved with all his heart, but poverty, diead of refusal and mor ral cowardice had kept him back. 'I have got it !' I exclaimed, sud denly, after sitting there for fully au hour ; and jumping up, 1 looked nt my watch and the leaf of a timetable. Yep, I could just do it catch the tram up. Uut could i get oy ttie rectory uneeen" I tried and fouud another way across to the lane by which I came; and making all t lis baste 1 could, 1 just panted up to the little station as the up-train came iu. Two hours later I was iu Ralph's room, where ho was poring over a dry brief. 'Hullo!' he Baid, looking up, 'I thought you were off fishing.' 'Yes,' I said, putting on the gross deceiver, 'I did ruu down to the place you told me of.' 'Indeed!' he said, looking interest ed, but sinking back, half closing his eyes, with a 6ad smile upon his lips, which seemed to me to say, 'Ah! if that could have been !' 'Yes,' I replied, 'the trout are on worderfully, May-flies in abundance. I hadn't the heart to fish alone, and so I came back to fetch you without wet ting a line. Come, let's start by the first train iu tha morning. You make plenty of money now. Have a day.' Hi eyes sparkled m he grasped ray hand. ' 1 his is kind ot you, old lellow, ho said. 'I fchuuld enioy it above all things, and yes, I could spare a day But uo no,' he said, sadly, 'I won'l go.' 'Nonsense !' I cried, 'you shall.' 'No,' he replied, 'that place is asso ciated with something very depressiug to my miud. I can t go. 'My dear Ralph,' 1 said, 'I have come back on purpose to fetch you, and go you must.' My persistence prevailed, and trem bling for the succersof my plan to such $2 PER ANNUM. an extent that I lay awake all night lest I should miss the train, I rose and took my bath at four; got Ralph off; ana we ran down by the earns train that I had gone down by on the pre vious morning,' my lrieud growing more silent and depressed as we reach ed the station and walked toward thb rectory. 'It's just three years sinco I was down here,' he eaid, as we approached tho copse. 'How sweetly tho biids sing.' I maneuvered so that he thould go first, having for exenso the narrowness of the path ; and as I hoped, so it fell about, for letting him get a few yards in advance I hung back as Ralph turned the corner by the stile, when there was a wild cry, a sharp ejacula tion, and I saw poor Laura literally leap to his breast and nestle there, ex claiming, 'At last ! at last !' 'My poor girl 1' he cried, in falter ing nccents, astounded, delighted, and ended by clasping her close to his heart, as she joyfully exclaimed : 'It has been so long I But 1 knew you would come at last!' Here, quick ! quick ! cried Ralph. 'Sho has fainted.' It was quite true ; and between us we carried the poor girl to the rectory, whence the gardener went galloping off on the rector's cob for tho doctor, three miles away. But Laura wanted no doctor; and a short time afterward I left her lying on the sofa, holding Ralphs hand tightly in both of hers, as he knelt by her side, telling her again and again how he had always loved her and had never dared to hope words that made her eyes hnghted and her heart palpi tate with joy. "And this is why you (lulu t come back yesterday,' said tho old geutle man, his voico shaking, as fie clung to mv hand. 'And we we wo kept the ducks waiting till they were quite spoiled,' sobbed the old lady. 'Oh dear ! oh dear! I don't know what I'm Baying, but God bless you for this! God bless you fir this!' and she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me as if I had been her eon. I ran away at last, I felt so read to act like u child ; and the basket of trout that I caughtvthat day was a marvel. It was getting dark when I strolled hack, heavily laden, to the rectory, to hear that the doctor had been and gone away again. 'Smiling, sir, smiling,' said the old rector to me, as I remembered I bad thought she wanted none. And I was right; for Laura I am priviliged to call my dear old frieud's wife by her Christian name soon grew strong and well, her mental weakness passing away with her re turn to bodily health. They have a charming cottage near the rectory where I stay when I go down to fish ; and they have a sweet little girl, who alway3 calls mo 'uncle;' and whin there 13 a boy, he is to bo named in my honor. m "Say, mister," said a Bmall hoy to one of tho assistants at the public li brary, "I can't find the hooks I want to git into these here catalogues I wish vor'd find 'em."

Residents of this city smile when they read Ne:il Dow'o assertion that the enle of liquor is practically un known in Maine. Though familiar with this State for year?, ' ami, of course, with the various trials of li cense and prohibitory laws within its borders, I have never seen in it a grent er consumption of intoxicating drinks than now. Arriving hero a few dayR ago, I r.t once visited my old friend 1. in his of fice. Thero were several persons pres ent, and tho first cordial greetings were hardly over when B. wrote a few words on a slip of paper, and handed it to me with an air of mystery. I took it and read. "Would you like to have a glass of lager?" I had beguiK to answer, "Well, I don't ca ," when n gesture warned mo to ho si lent, and I wrote on the slip "yes." He then invited ran into a back room to Fee his new desk. Once there, he said : "I don't want these fellows to know," and led the wny down a flight of stairs into the cellar, wlwre, at the further eud, we found a cafe of bot tled lager. Front 1): I afterwards obtained tho following facts : Although the law in regard to the sale of iutoxicUing li-' quors is not openly defied,' save in a low isolated cases, the evasions are so many and ingenious that a great deal of liquor is actually sold within" tho State. One of the most famous of these evasions is the "egg dodge." Thi9 con sists in making two Bmall aperatures in the shell, blowing the contents from t and filling the empty case with prima old whisky. Tho holes ttrc neatly seal-, cd with white paper, and these eggs soli readily at SI. 50 per dozen. Another plan, successfully practic ed for several months until it was fin ally discovered by the eharp-nosed de tectives, was the "faucet dodgo. An innocent looking cider or vinegar bar rel is famished with what appears to be an ordinary wooden faucet, from which, when turned in ono direction, there flows cider or vinegar ; but if it is turned the oilier way, thero gushes forth a stream of foaming brown ale. One ingenious invader improvod upon this method by connecting a barrel ct ale, pieced in another room, with his Sebago Aater pipes, and serving Ms customers, according to their nppear auce, with "Frank Jones" aie or-' Adam s. A saloon in the lower pari of the town baffled the officers for a lone time. They were certnin that Honor was sold there, hut could discuvcr noflting more criminating about tho premises than empty cisks aud bot tles. At last ono of them cast a rus picious eye on tho high shelf, upon which lay, Hat on their sides, a quan tity of corkless and, apparently, cmp flasks. Mounting to this he discover ed that each flask contained brandy or whisky in such quantity that it fail ed to run out from t lie uneoikcd neck. . Bottles of "patent ginger beer," of; which two contained alcohol equal to a bottle of whisk y, had a ready salo fiir mouths. In Portland thero are a vast num ber of small clubs, of from a dozen to twenty members each, formed for tho- express purpose ot drinking. Jacn member pays a small weekly lee, and receives a certain number of tickets. A room is hired, nonr tho express of fice if possible, and liquor, generally beer, is 6ent Vhero in bulk from Ports mouth or Boston. Each of the tickets held by members is good for one drink, but none of tho liquor is sold. The express companies aro doing an immense business in tho transporta tion of packages of liquor between Portland snd Boston. The Portland agent of the Eastern Express Com pany told mo that they received on aut average a car load of liquor per day from Boston. It is dangerous, howev er, for them to deliver packages C. O. I)., as judge Clifford decides that' nn express agent 'bus becomes an agent of tho dealers, and that liquor thus de livered is told within the htate. So stringent is the law that apothe caries are no longer allowed to sell al cohol for medicinal purposes, even when it is ordered by u physician. This has so seriously inconvenienced them that every druggist and apothe cary iu Maine has bound himself to reupport only such candidates for the Mate .Legislature as shall favor tho passage of a bill, to ho presented thi ; coming winter, removing this retri( tioii.
