You are a lucky dog, Hewett! Of course, it's a love match!" 'I flatter iiivsclf, yes, on the lady's Iart, at hast," and the speaker, a tall, rather handsome man drew himself up sup erciliously; "though, in fact, it is a family arrangement. 'How is that!'" 'Why, you see, Colonel narding was my fathers General Hewett's, greatest chum When dying, he left me and my future to the former s guardianship; a trust he saw no belter nor more friendir wav of carrying out than by an engagement bet v. . myself and his daughter Kate the .e inheritor of a rich aunt's wealth.'" "Some people fail into pleasant places. certainly! When is it to be?"' "In a month. I fancy, since the Colo nel lias been such a dotard as to take home a second wife, he would rather his daught er's room than her company."' "Possibly. Ieuced pretty woman, Mrs. Harding eh? Very sparkling, self -willed, and fast, I'm sure! Ta, ta! Hemember, I am liooked for the Benedict ceremony." The two gentlemen between whom the above conversation passed on the steps cf a West End club, now parted the one ad dressed as Hewett, known among Lis loss pmiliars as Captain lleweit, proceeding to go by train to Colonel Harding's villa, at Kichmond. Arriving there, in due course, he was speedily introduced to Kate and Mrs. Hard ing; after exchanging greetings with whom, he was summoned to see the Colonel in the library. The ladies were surprised at the haste displayed, and could not refrain from remarking on the subject. " W hatever is that for?"' Kate remarked, when the officer had gone. "To sign your marriage settlement," smiled Mrs. Harding. "Nonsense! By the way, mamma, do you not think papa has looked pHered lately ? "for many days, Kate. I fear some thing is wrong." "Then I fancy he might IconSde it to yo-.i instead of the captain. True!'' Mrs. Harding's lips prcccptibly contracted; then she added, "Kate. I for got to tell my niaid about the trimmings for lny dress next Friday. Would yon nii.id doing so?" Kising, the young girl went cn her mis sion, when the other's entire manner changed. Her expression became grave, pei-plexed. She cast aside her work, und leaned her head on her hand. "Can my husband possibly suspect?" she murmured. "There is a change in him! Kate see it, too! Then there must be a cuuse ! Can he have found us out? If so, everything is ruined ruined!" She paused : then added, "I must be certain IviU!" Hurriedly throwing a shawl of Kate's, that laid on a sofa near, aliout her, she passed through the open glass door into the flower garden. Going to the side of the villa, cautiously she creivt through a shubbcry of lilacs and syrinjas until she came within sight and hearing of the two in the library, the win dow of which was open. Captain Hewett was leaning lack in a chair, the Colonel, a handsome, elderly, miHtury looking man, sat by the table, his brows contracted, his features expres sive of pain and anger blended. He had evidently Ira speaking vehemently, and exclaimed, as the listener came with range, "I wouldn't have believed it of her! Of all women, I would have stacked nij life on the fidelity of Constance! When you hinted that you had scon a fellow lounging about the villa, I thought nothing of it; but Jackson, the undcr-gardencr, declares that it is true." The listener became lived with rage. Her suspicious were well founded. "What do you intend doing?"' asked Hewett. : "That is my perplexity. To accuse her on the word of an under-gardener seems preposterous," and the Colonel uneasily drummed the table with his fingers. "Something must be done," he said, "or I shall go mad. I can't support this terri ble suspicion, for 1 don't mind confessing it to you, George, who so soon will be my soon I love Constance devotely, What was that? Why, the window is open. Shut it; we want no eavesdroppers." Captain Hewett complied, but, More closing it, leant forth and looked around. "If my fine lady would only commit herself." he thought, "Kate would inherit the Colonel's wealth. It is nothing," he said aloud, resuming his seat. Trembling at her r arrow escape, Mrs. Harding hastened from the shubbery. Just as she emerged, she ran violestly against a man. "Robert! Tell me, what are you doing here!" 'Ten thousand pardons! I tought " Osever mind what you thought. Why nr. vnii here? Ouick. (to to the door. If in five minutes I call you, come, if not, He raised her hand te his lips. "How good you are!" he said. '1 only came to say I have prepared even-thing for our flight on Friday. "Hush!" she answered, as she flew from him. It was the moraine of the eventful Fri day that Colonel Harding entered Captain Hewett s apartments at Kichmond. "George," lie exclaimed, "no man ever was in greater perplexity than I. For the last month I have been engaged to the Dunderbuils to dinucr to day. This morn ing Constance declares looking well and hearty herself too ill to attend, but urges me to go." "I'll teil you what. Colonel. If you re fuse, you may only raise her suspicion. Vou had better, therefore, go and I'll watch for you. Perhaps this time something may be discovered." "I was thinking," began the Colonel, doubtful!-, "whether it would not be best to ask Constance right down the truth'"' "Alisurd! If a woman will stoop tode ceive a husband, she would not hesitate at a falsehood. "That is true. Well, George, let it be as you 6ay. The Colonel went to the dinner, and the gentlemen had long been left to their wines when a footman whisjiered to the officer that he was wanted. Making an excuse, he withdrew, and found the Captain in the hail. "Come home," said the latter; "I must npeak to you at once." The Colonel, growing pale, followed him into the road. "What is it?" "Bear it like a man, Colonel," returned the other, "Your wife is unworthy your affections; she has fled with her lover. I saw them. They are now in the train go ing to the citv." Oh Constance Constance!" he groaned, "why have you brought this dis grace upon tneP And he grasped the hedge, to save him from falling. Kocovenng himself, his mood changed. "George," he exclaimed fircely. "Come, we will follow them. The villoin shall an swer for the wrong he has done me ; but tell me all alxmt it." The Captain stated that a cab had passed him on the road to the villa. In it he had recognized a strange gentleman and Mrs. Harding. He pursued, but ou!y reached the railway in time to see them leap into the train. The true statement was this: Captain Hewett had seen a cab waiting near the villa. Concealing himself, he had perceived a gentleman, escorting a lady thickly veiled and cloaked, come through the break in the hedge, hurriedly cross the interven ing field, enter the cab, aud drive off, alter giving the direction. Had he put his hand out, he could have stayed them. But that was not his plan. Let us go behind recall and forgiveness, that was what he thought. Hurrying straight to his dressing-room, the Colonel secured his pistols. "I have never used them against a fellow-being lK-fore," he exclaimed, very stern and determined, "but a bullet shall reach his heart or mine. One shall not cave the field." "Why, goodness gracious, my love, how early you arc back! I hope nothing is wrong!' exclaimed a pleasant voice. Both gentlemen swung round on lucir heels, with aa ejaculation of surprise, for there in the doorway, looking charming in her evening dress, was standing Mrs. Harding. "You here, Constance!"' "Here! Why, where should I be, my dear?'' The Colonel looked at the Captain, and rice, rcva. "What" is the matter?" asked the lady; "and gracious, Edmund, love! what are you going to do with those pis tols?" "I I was going, ' blurted out the Colo nel, half angrily, "to take w i.h thein the live of your lover, Constance!" "My lover! Surely, darling, you never contempted suicide!" "Suicide! Constance, can you look me in the fare and say you have no other one than I?" Yes there, sir! But can you look in mine, and say you ever were cruel enougu to suspect me of such a sin?"" The Colonel dropped instantly. "Vou have!" she went on. "Pray, on what grounds?" 'That of a man having been seen to enter your room, admitted by you, and in in your supposed flight this night in a fly with him." Mrs. Harding burst into a peal of laugh ter. Whv, Edmund, that was Katc"s lover!" she cried. "Kate's!" both gentlemen repeated. "No less, Do not blame the poor girl. for you yourae-lf have driven her to this step, asking Captain Hewett's pardon for speaking out," said the lady, with a mali cious twinkle. "Because you loved his father, you ordered your daughter to accept tho General's son. She her heart se cretly bestowed elsewhere said ay; you said Ay. When I became your wife, Kate made me her confidante. 1 planned yes, it was wicked I planned her elopement with Robert Kenway, the man she loves. I sec how all this hap pened; this gentleman watched here while yon went to dine. Charming! He waited and spied to sec his own property stolen! Capitain Hewett, I compliment you! Now, gentlemen, I will leave you to yourselves." She quitted the room as she spoke, very haughtily, and retired to her own, nppar rently the most injured party. A brief space after, the Colonel came in. "Constance," he said, "you have done very wrong. " "Sir, how bave you acted, in suspecting a wife who was foolish enough to love you? she answered, proudly. "Do vou love me, Constance?" "Better than than all the world!" was the answer, given bcetween a sudden burst of sobs. A woman's tears were th only enemies He and cried, "Constance, forgive me, and let us say no more about it. "And Kate?" she sobbed. "I'll pardon her, for your sake.' "You dear, dear Edmund! There! That kiss is for a reward!" And that is how Captain Hewett was checkmated by Colonel's Harding second wife. Mining; la t'oleradJ. It is estimated that there are at least 100,0!K) men prospecting in Colorado this summer. These men do not waste their time, hut work hard from early mora until late nt night, climbing and tramping over the roughest of country, and digging in the hardest of ground. led on and on by the wildest of enthusiasm from one place to anotucr, now in one country where a rich strike is reported then over the moun tains to the next piace, where a fortune is sure for any one that conies but it turns out about the same in each case; it is disappointment everywhere. Come with us along the Chicago creek near Idaho, with votir trout rd; fishing has been good, ami as a black and stormy evening approaches we will go back to a good shelter and a comfortaplc night. But' as we struggle along over the rough ways of the canon, let us stop a moment to view but one of the many prospectors scattered over the Itockvs. lie is setting on a rock beside the prospect hole, that hole in the hard ground which has cost him davs of exhausting wont to hollow out, his head slightly turned to one side, is resting up on the bund, which in turn is supported by the handle of his pick. The long, white heard, flowing over the roui;h miner s coat. belongs to a face with a discouraged and tired-out look, while the eyes, with their far-away expression, as if they were gaz ing into the distant past, show plainly enough that he has not struck "pay dirt." This loue muii as he sits there in the ap proaching darkness appears to lie in every wav in saivpathy with surrounding nature. The black and ragged rocks rise thousands ot K-ct, upon eillisr side, while, scattered over them, the scrub pines, hanging from every crevice give out tueir mournful wail in chorui with the rushing waters of the creek. In the b ickeround, up the canon, is an impenetrable blackness, while over head from ridge to ridge the threatening clouds are arched. With one exception the scene is one which Iluskm aptly calls moun tain gloom. This exception is a cloud at one side of the gorge brilliantly illuminated tv the setting su:i. and from which is thrown a single s'ntim of light across-thf valley, touching the hair and the forehead of the nu'ner, and bringing out hu features in strong relief. Let us hope the miners gloom has a:i invisible stream of lisht across i;s dark tr-.ck in the shape of some pleasant memory of the past.

CofTee. Thi s now univerea' '.leverage was first in- troduced into England in the reign of James I., but it did n;t come into general use until a late pcri'xl. In ltif.O, by an act of Charles II., a lax of f jtinieiiif was m posed on even' gallon of coffee sold, and every vender of the article was obliged to take out a license In l''.7. all the coffee-houses in London were closed by proclamation, as !e- ing the resort of evii minded persons and seditionarir s ; vet, as had been the ensi one bundled vcars .earlier at Constantinople, the people were S'Kn after left to drink coffee when and where they pleased. Up to this period, and for some time after, all the coffee consumed in Europe was brought from Arabia. The trade was very profitable t the Arabs, who prohibited the exporta tion of plants from Yemen under severe penalties : and it is said that they destroyed the germinating principle of the berries, so as to prevent foreigners raising a crop from seed. But a'.xmt IrtSu, Witsen, burgo master of Amsterdam, persuaded the gover nor of Java to procure some coffee berries from Arabia rehx. These were sown at Batavia, and in 1 !)) one of the plants thus raised was sent to Holland, where it was planted in the botanic garden at Iyden.

I was always untlcr the impression that they did not like wetting their fur or hair, but at Sangua, Central India, when I was stationed there, I had a little monkey that was exceedingly fond of swimming and diving. One day, oa taking him to the pond at the bottom of my compound, he jumped off my shoulder and dived (like a man) into the water, which was three or four feet deep: he had his chain on at the time, and when he dived in the chain caught in smne grass or root at the bottom and kept the monkey down; he was just able to come to the b ip of the water. Feel ing his chain had caught, he dived down, undid the chain, anil continued to swim with the chain in his hand. He swam just like a man, as far as I could see from the motion of his arms. Several of my brother officers cane to see him swimming, of which he wis very fond, W-wimrning very vuietly, and cunningly trying to catch the frogs that lay floating on the top of the i water. which had ever beaten the Colonel, caught his pretty wife in his arms. The Moral Education of Children. A 8tiliject o supreme concern to pai euts, yet one whose adequate trcatmr calls lor a rare union of cxpencnce,insigl t and delicacy, is discussed by I)r. Ei.izv betii Bi.ackwei.l in a little treatise entitl The Moral J-ldueation of i'hihlfen lit lalion to Sex ( Brentauo.) No one cud read this essay without cordial res peel f if the author s motives and ab hues, or without a conviction that their strictures and acute suggestions will be turned large, immediate.and beneficent account by th Higiitful men and women. Here is a !ook which examines iu a sufficiently plain- piken, yet clean and wholesome and pr foundly earnest way, questions which per plex and occupy the mind of every moth t questions of vital import to the well-be ing of youth, and of decisive bearing on education and society. Vc know of no other work on the same urgent, bul awkward, topic which combine so much substantial worth with stick purity of form It would be well for the community if the author's cautions and counsels could lie pondered in every household. What practical stejis can be taken to elo vale the las standard of sexual morality which, it cannot lie disputed, now too ge nerally prevails? Onr author submits that the following points bearing on the moral education of childhood and vouth must lie considered by all parents who recognii the fundamental import of sexual nioralit". These are: Observation of the child during infancy; acquirement of the child s conli dencc; selection of young companions; cai-e in the choice of a school, and of studies which will not I'.fect the mind; the forma tion of tastes; outdoor exercise; compan ionship of brothers and sisters; the choice f a phvsican ; and, finally, social inter course and amusements. The capital duty of the parent is to watch over the infant child; but ohvious'v two things are needed in order to fulfil this function, viz., a clear and full knowledge of the evils to which the young being may he exposed, and tact to interpret and a vet the faintest indications of danger, without allowing the child to become alive to them. rew parents, we are told, arc aware ho w very early harmful habits may be formed. nor how injurious may be the iidluence of the nurse. Unnecessary handling, says the author.should be studiously prevented. and she states, in a appendix, that she has herself traced the ill-health of chiloren in wealthy families to the habits practised by confidential nurses, who apparently were puet, respectable women. o details, she nsists, arc insignificant to the watchful mother, whether these details relate to the shape of the child's nightdress, to the man ner of washing and attending to its natural wants, or to the answer returned to the questions of awakening curiosity. At d every thoughtless breach of delicacy shou d be checked with a gentle gravity, which will not repel or abash, but will impress the child. In connection with this branch of hor theme, the author reminds us how essei tial it is from the outset of family training to select servants who will not injure the atmosphere of home. The very diilieu!:y of doing this should carry a grave niotii tion, implying, as it docs, a widespread want of pure feeling and clean ecch in certain slrafcfc ol society. The more e-aie- fully this problem is c-onsulercd, the more intimate the relations of the rich and poor will seem to lie, the more vital their rela- ions in respect to the maintenance and pto- motion of morality, and, we mar aihl, t ic more imperative the duty of every mother to take a personal interest in her 6crvaa"s. to exert a healthful influence upon tiiem, and to consider the children of her pivirer neighlxjrs as well as her own, if only for the sake of her own offspring. I'r. Black- well pronounces it not only a wrong, but a gross blunder, to retain a young servant in household withcut entering in some te- gree into her joys aud sorrows, formug some acquaintance with her family a id friends, providing her with wholesome amusement, and helping her to grow in self-refpcct and self-control. .Naturally our author deems it an indis pensable condition of success in lam iy education that the parent should become the first and closest friend of the chihL It is only when this trustful, sympathetic re lation exists that the parent can enter ii to the life of infancy or vouth and cxerc se gentle, fruitful, and unresisted influence. Moreover, if the parent be the friend and comrade of his child, he can also be I he friend of the laitcr's young companions. It is of the first consqucncc that he should know who these companions are, and oidy by tact and svmpathv can he hope to overcome the barriers of juvenile rcseivc and discover their true characters. The youth's entrance upon sch-Kil lif.; is his first plunge into the outside world bs- yond the family circle; his fitst Contact with new thoughts, customs, and standards, with a new code of morality not, of course, the formal ethics of teacher or p -o-fessor, but the confused, groping, practical morality of his schoolfellows. ur autl or iclieves thct this school microcosm, unlil-.e the larger and later world, is tltrec.ly amenahle to parental control. What pa rents as a body require, the teachers will endeavor to irovidc If proficiency in lassical literature or the powrsion ot showy accomplishment are reckoned of the ighest consequence, oilier tilings win oe subordinated to their attainment; but if the formation of an upright ami pure charae.cr and a healthy frame are demanded as a prime, indispensable necessity, then the means ot 6ecunng those cnus win oc ca fully sought for. This application, how ever, of the law of supply and demand rests upon two cinditiotis, viz , such a re lation of confidence lictweon parent and child that the former may really know what the latter is learning, am! a serii us consideration of the moral and hygienic arrangements, by which school life may be made the sound preparation for adult I u man existance. It is plain that the nature cf the studies imposed ui the young, anil the way in which classical literature shall be thought, I call for anxious examination. It is a mis- i take to suppose that the advantages of! classical education cannot he seeureel with out employing works whose tenelency is to degrade and corrupt the young mineL We can afford to disregard Byron's sneer at expurgated editions when we conside-r t lie effect of placing Ovid or Catullus or Petio nius Arbiter in the hands of a echewl biy of 15. The permanent and far-rcachi ig mischief wrought by vicious literature of any kind is signally attested by what we now know about the structure anel work ing of tlie human mind. Physiological in quiries have shown us that nutritive changes take place in the cerebral tissues under the impact of sensations, so that cer tain states or tendencies resulting from such sensations remain stored up in the brain, capable of recall or presenting themselves in a most unexpected way.

I Our author ia probably justified in affirm- J ing that parents too rarely appreciate what an invaluable provision for the education ef the principle of sex exists ia the coutpan ionship of brothers and sisters. That the faiiiiliar intercourse of boys and girls in the kindly preseuce of their elders, insures a tranquil and salutary attitude toward cer tain appetites is an observation based on wide experience-, whil it is equally certain that isolation, mystery, and obstacles pro duce traving, curiosity, and morbid si lmu lus. Into a family crcle where brothe'rs and sisters were associates in studies, in music, in outdoor pursuits and recreations, other young men and women would natu rally enter, and thus a uracmg and enno bling educationalintlucnce would lie indefi. nitely extended. v e can draw attention to but one more of the many pertinent and useful hints con- tamed in this small voiume. It will scarce ly be disputed that the present moral tone of the upper and middle classes in Anieri ca, no less than in hnghsh and Continen tal society, is a source of injury to the young. The studious ignoring of rcrfain lapses on the part of men, at all events, in sexual morality ; the theory that the sub ject should not be too closely scrutinized ; the custom of allowing wealth, talents, or agreeable manners to partially or wholly atone for dissolute habits; the growing ten- lency to arrange marriage on a commercial Itnsis, and to postpone wedlock in the case of men until the period of maximum vitali ty is passed all these things must contri bute to the generation of a social atmos phere cotuilly unfavorable to the moral health of men and women. Seeing how the highest aims of parental education are con stantly shipwrecked by social influences, our author insists that women, quite as much as men, must think and act so as to change the tone ami postnrc of society to ward ceriain derelictions. o doubt the problem is one of cxtre-nie delicacy, and couhl, in any event, be solved only by combined action, tin the one hand, no inquisitorial investigation of private life is desirable or permissible. Our author sul- nuts, however, that no person of aeknow- ged licentious conduct should be admit ted into society, much less have access to the intimacy of home, no matter what ma terial or intellectual! advantages may em- hellish and commend them. llainaKcn. Like all eastern cities the interior is dis appointing. The streets are dusty and narrow, and the effect of the shabby bouses and dilapidated walls is rather that of a collection of villages huddled togethe-r than of a large and important city. ur flrst call was made at an excellent hotel kept by a Greek. Its courtyards, with fountains playing, and with lare rrange trees shad- iwing the whole plac, looked so enticing, its myrtles and jessamines and marble floors stcjoI, and its bedrooms so clean and com fortable, that we felt quite sorry it hadjnot Iwen arranged thai we should stay there. nstcad of pitching -jut tents in one cf the far famed irardens of Damascus.

I Printing Paper. The principal ingredients of this paper are straw, rags and wood. A mill of this kind affords a ready market for all the straw produced ia the country for miles around. The straw is piled up iu great stacks near the mill ready for use. The rags come from all parts of this country and Europe. The wood is bought hi the pulp from firms who make a business of reducing wood to a fine pulp. Ke-garding the processes whie-h these materials tinderso while bcinsconverted in to paper: In the first place the straw is cut up Due and passed through a fanning mill. widen separates it from all the grain and particles of dust. It is then put into huge rotary boilers, running under eighty pounds of steam pressure, where it is boiled and cleansed in a strong solution of caustic alkali, after which it is emptied into vats and thrown up into washing engines filled with water; there the alkali is extracted. and chlorine is added for the purpose of whitening it. After remaining here until the pulp is thoroughly washed, it is emptied into large vets, where it is left to bleach twenty-four hours. The pulp in this stage is as white as snow, and is one mass of line silky filler. The rajs are first carefuliy assorted, and everything not composed of cotton or hnen is discarded. I hey are ti.en cut up and dusted by machinery, after which they are boiled and cleansed with a solution of lime in either rotary lioilers. Afterward they pass throush the sa:;ic pro. cess as the straw until they, too. are reduced to a lieautiful. white, fiorous pulp. Equal quantities of rag and straw pulp are mixed together with a lesser quantity of wocd pulp. lo this is added a small portion of kaoliu, or white clay, which is used to fill up the pores of the paper, and give it a smoother surface. The whole is then put into a lieating engine, where it remains until the different ingredients are thoroughly united. This operation usually takes aliout three hours. Were also the blue coloring is added blue white lieing considered the best shade for the paper. From the beating engine the pulp is pumped up into another engine, where it passes throuirh the last stage of refining, and is dropped in a liquid form into an immense tub. It is now ready to be put into form. There arc two kinils of machines for tliis work, the Fourdriner ami the cylinder. The Fourdriner, the itest invention, and the most perfect ma chine now in use. is used at this mill. The fi'irous liquid is then poured from the tub through a strainer int.' the machine, where it is caught on an en Hess slieve of very fine wire, which filters out the water and retains the fibre. This slieve continually vibrates as it moves along thus thoroughly uniting the fibre, and when it re-aches the section lx, all the water is drawn from the pulp. This sheet is carried over nunivrons drying cylinders, heated by sieam ; then over the cylinder rolls, where il receives its final g'o.s and finish ; and is finally wound on spools, weighed, wrapped, marked and stored, ready for shipment. lha abuse of Chloral. The persons who lutoine habituated to chloral hydrate arc of two or three classes, as a rule. Some have originally taken the narcotic to n-lieve pain, using it in the earliest applie-ation of it for a true medical and legitimate object, prot'abty miner medical elirce-tion. Finding that it gave relief and repose, they have continued the use of it, and at last have got so abnormal ly nailer i!3 influence that they cannot get to sleep if the-y fail to re-sort to it. A sec ond class of persons wh. take to chloral are alcoholie inebriates who have arrived at that stage of alcoholism whea sleep i always liisttirbzd, and often nearly imtios sible. These persons at first v. . ike many times in the night with coldness of the lower limbs cold sweating', starting and restless elre-aniings. In a liule time they become nervous about submitting them selves to watchfulness and resllcssuess until a confirmed insomnia is the re sult. Worn out w itii sleeplessness, anel failing to find any relief thai is satisfactory or safe in their falsi- friend alcohol, they turn to e hlora', and in it tind for a season the oblivion which th--y desire, and which they call rest. It is a kinel of rest, anel is, no doubt, lieltcr than no rest tit ail ; but it leads to the imhe-alth) states that we an; now conversant with, and it rather pro motes than destroys the craving for ali-ol-.ol. In short, the man who takes to chloral after alcohol enlists two cravings for a sin gle craving, and is double-shotted in the worst sense. A thirel class of men who lio conie habituated to the use of chloral are men of extremity iiittous ami excitable temperament, who by uaturV-, and often by the laliors in which they are occnpi"ei, conn? ba l sleepers. A little thing in the course e-f the-ireiiily rnuline oppresses ther.i. What to other men is a parsing annoyance, thrown off with the next step, U to the-se men a worry and ani ty of hoi'is. They arc ovcr-susce-ptiblc of what is said of them and of their work, however g ind the work may be. They are to e-lated whe-n praised and too denr.'-ssed when not praiseii, or dispraised. They fail to play character parts on the stage of this worlei, and a they lie do-.vu to rest they take all their rare sand anxieties into bed wilh them, in the liveliest state of perturbation. Una ble in this cemdilion to sleep, and not Knowing a ir.erc natural n-meily. they re sort to the use of such an instrument as chloral hydrate. They begin with a ir.ml erate dose; increase the tlose as eiev.ision seen s to ilcmanet, and at last, m what the-v consider a safe anel moderate' system of employing it, they depend en ths narcotic for their falsified repose. Fox Itunllnj Maryland has a! ways taken the had iu this Sjn.rt among the Siites of N .rih Amer ica. The re are at pr- s nt se-veral geienl packs e-f fox hounds near Ihtltiniore, and it is possible to enjoy all the excilemt-nt ef the sport, though without those picturesque accessories of the "pink,"' the livercd hunts men and whipper-in. the iwiie-s present at the meet, ic, which accompany the diver sion in KnglnniL The "pink," by thew.iy, is the technical name given lo the reel coat, brass buttons and corduroys, in which fox hunting gentlemen of cxerience always appe ar in the field. In EnglaneL packs of fox heiunels amounting to twenty or twenty-five couple are gene-rally ke pt up by sub scription, and the kennels are placed on the property and uneie-r the personal super vision of some gentleman who may lie cho sen Master of the llountls, and whose name the pack frequently bears. The dogs are never trusted to the sole care of subordi nates, however faithful. It is in England an extremely expensive amusement, invol ving not only a large subscription to the pack, but one or more hunters, and a quiet hack to ride to cover, be-sides costly hilari ties which are expected in turn from mem bers of the club. It is estimated that the yearly stun required for keeping up a pacK of dogs in taglanel is not less than i-iwu (25,UOO). Many writers in English papers are now suggesting that if farmers ro- strained their sons from taking part in such amusements tm-y wouiu nave less reason to complain of high rents and bard times. The sons answer that part of their business is to breed fine horses, and that they can best sell them by exhibiting their qualities in the hunting field. In England the fox hunting period extends from the latter pvt if tha present month to the beginning of April, though the amusement cannot be carried on while the earth is hard frozen or ovcretl with snow. Moist air without ac tual rain, and a gentle gale from the south or west are favorable conditions ef the at mosphere for fox hunting, because then the cent clings lo the foil and to vegetation ; hut best of all is .hea it is suspended in the air, breast hi". to the dogs, because there they can run, 'Ttly without putting the'r heads down to the ground. Fox hunting was not a national sport with our incestors in England until tueen Anne's lime: that is. about the close- of the seven teenth century. Before that stag h-mting and coursing were considered finer sport for gentlemen, after the disappearance of the wolf and bear. The best hunting ground should be pastoral rather than arable, with covers at consideralilejinti rvals, preventing the tox Iroui getting readily to earth, and securing a good 'Tail." In some parts of England thehe'dges, which are accompanied hy a eleep ditch, are formidable oiisiacles; though a hunting authority of that country assures us that an experienced rider mar have no more trace of his passage "than if a bird had hopped through."' An English horse will generally take a wall or five barred gate better than a running stream, mistrusting by instinct his foothold in the neighliorhood of water. In Ire-land stone alls are common, and test all the courage and experience of fox hunters. The gn-at- t recorded feat of horse le-aping was that of a gentle-man in 17'.2, who successively took a wall ti i feet on the inside and 8 on the other. To "know how to fall" judic iously is one of the most important accom plishments of the lox hunter. What the celebrated Assheton mith would have said to the recent de-ath of a fox in a Baltimore wood vard by a revolver of a policeman may be imagined from an ane-cdote told of his emotion on reading his momi-ii; paper n his old age : "Good Heaven !" he cried. in an answer loan inquiry as to what exci- ed him, "A fine fox has been buried alive in a barn."
