all. How well Loah" remembered that olfl )or'!h "e olher August night, think

There was a blank pauso, broken nt last
by Clara's singing 'Kathleen Mavourneen.'
Tho mournful melody floated out ou the
night air. sweet and sad ns a funeral hymn,
'Oh, do not 1' Leah cried out at last ;
'do not sing that song I It gives mo tho

of the singing, and spoko indifferently.
'You havo tho blues, I supposo, ma

Pretty cousin Clara was always ready
to obey Mr. Gordon ; the ttio adjourned
to tho drawing-room. Leah took her sow-
ing nnd sat down at the table, Clara seat
ed herself at tho piano, and Mr. Gordon
lay ou tho sofa, nnd listened to tho sweet
voice of tho singer. Hut tho music could
not charm away the shadow of what was
at hand of what was to coniu that night,

of that other August night when they thre

she roso up her faco whitening as she
lookod at him, ghaitly as a walking corpse.
"I havo dared to come to you, .eah,"
he said, in a voice that did not sound like
tho voice of Ralph Gordou, "because I
am such an utterly tnUerablo aud degrad

"Leaving tho country lorcver," Leah

eloped once with me ; she eloped yester

So a littlo-bluo-oyed fair-haired baby

homo whero for twenty years, no baby

treasure, that brought tho old bright etnilcu

"I havo come back, Leah,' ho said,

Thomai Topham, tho 'strong man,' wss
born in London in 1710, and wos bred a
oarpontcr, but afterwards 'travoled on his
musolu.1 Ho waa a quiet, peaceable man,
of middle aizo and weight, uiado like oth
er men except that tho ueur.l cavities un
der the arms nnd hands wore, in bio esse,
filled full of imuolcs. The wonderful
stories of his feats of strength aro well
authenticated.
Ho could hold undor perfect restraint,
and with case to himself, tho strongest
horso. He lifted a table six loot long, with
fifty pounds on tho end of it, with hit
tcoth, and held it in a horizontal position
a considerable timo. Ile rolled up n pow-
ter dish, weighing e7en pounds, with os
much apparent easo as tho reader would
roll up a sheet of paper. Ho hold a pew
ter quart pot at arm's length and squeezed
tho sides together like an egg shell.
Ho lifted 200 pounds with his littlo fin
ger and waved itgently around his head.
He lifted Mr. Chambers, ,a clergyman,
who must havo lived on the fat of tho land
for he weighed 374 pounds,with ono hand,
Mr. Chambers' head being placed on ono
chair and his feet on another. At a blow
he struck a round bar of iron one inch in
diameter, against his arm and bent it liko
a bow.
Ono night, observing a watchman asleep
in his watch-box, ho pickod up box and
watchman, carrying tho load with the
greatest ease, and dropped them over ihe
wall into Tindale burying ground.
A butcher ones passed a largo window
at which Topham was sitting. Ho stooped
down and took half an ox from tho fel
low's shoulders with so much easo and
dexterity that the man sworo the devil
had flown away with his beef.
At a race a man insisted upon driving
upon tho track ; so Topham took hold of
tho tail of Lib cart and drew it gently
back, tho driver whipping tho horeo like a
madman all tho timo.
Whon ho kept a publio houso two mon
were determined to fight him ; ao, to sat
isfy them, ho seized them by tho napes of
thoir nocks, and knocked tbeir heads to
gether till he knocked all tho fight out of
tho in. .
Ho astonished a. Bailor who presented,
him with a cocoa-nut, by cracking it close
to his car as you would a pea-nut ; and
upon one occasion he lifted three hogshead
of water. Onco ho threw his horse over
a turn piko gate, nnd at any time could go
