TVb regret to see that the Belgian Court has decided that Mdlle. Fopelln cannot be admitted to the bar. The Judges took the old stereotyped ground, namely, that woman has other social duties to perform, and that the law and the customs of the country did not allow a woman to exercte the profession of a barrister. The right of "the law and the customs of the country" to decide what are the social duties or any particular class of the community Is an act of usurpation which is Indefensible.

Da we use the material to the best advantaze. not only from an educational, but a financial point of view? 1 have before me a number of reports of horticultural societie. Turn- lea to the lists of standing committees. l una the names of men who have made national reputations for them selves in the learned professions, in art. in science or in various branches of business. Turning to the list or exhibitors, I find many names equally famous. In both cams thev are men of refined and cultivated tastes: men who have proved their ability by their success. Again. I turn to the treasurer's report. and, without going Into details. It appears, as ever one knows, that the exhibitions rarely prove financially successful. What are the causes of this failure. and what are the remedies? There are plenty of standing committees. Possibly they have been standing too Ion?. There are plenty of good, pushing men on them who are successful in their own business. Why are they not successful here? Is It because they are held back by some of the older members who cling to "the good old methods? If it is alack of money, this, 1 believe, could be over come by personal subscription, II the members could show the public any advanoed ideas that would be beneficial The wealthy gentlemen always seem very glad to do their part In contribut ing lueir specimen plants. Allow me to suggest: 1. That the entire hall in whir b. an exhibition Is to be held be treated to a thorough cleaning. 2. That It be profusely decorated with laurel wreaths, laurel branches, evergreen trees and other greenery. from the entrance to the dome. In most cajes I believe eaoegh enthusiasm could be aroused among the members to contribute to this In the shape of labor, material or money. 3. That the tables, benches ana staging, in every instance, be coverea either with paint, moss or evergreens. instead of with bare, broken, rough nd ase-stained boards. 4. That in front of these tables, in stead of allowing the treaties and horses to show or attempting to hide them with pair I would suggest using some kind of cloth, with eyelet boles fastened with screw-eyes, which could be used a number of years. 5. That proper vases be obtained In which to show cut flowers, and that these should be always kept clean, and Darticularlv so if transparent. 6. That exhibitors oc grapes ue re quested to hang all grapes, and that the amount of "bloom" be a strong point in Judging, while those that have been carefully polished should bs bar red. 7. That if vegetables are to form a Dart of the exhibition, none out re markable specimens be aamittea. 8. That it enouzh social lnnuence could be brought to bear, the first niitht be devoted to teoclety." with 1 Ally patronesses, and a banquet and bounuets for the patronesses only. Ibave no doubt but that the tickets or invita tions could be disposed of at five dol lars apiece. The day following should be open to all at h.'ty cents apiece. Every part of the bouse would have to be opened to accomodate the crowd. J. lnat ir "society" couia not ue induced to participate (which Is hardly probable, as there are so many lasmona ble Deoile connected with horticultural societies), a number of influential ladies be induced to inteteit themselves as a ladies' committee. 10.

When this news was announced to him on bis arrival, he received it with his usual serenity of temper, merely replying, "Then I am to be a listener instead of a preacher to-morrow. But l can pray as much as I wish no man forbidding me! The Master la whom be implicitly trusted bad otherwise planned that Sunday's work for him. Karly in the morning a messenzer came from a clergyman, who bad a small church In the suburbs of the town, to say that he had been seized with an attack of inflammation In the chest, and that he would be most grateful If Mr. Marsh would undertake his duty. Gladly accepting this opportunity. he went forth to preach the Gospel of Chnst, from these word, "Behold the Lamb ot God. which taketb away the sin of the world." At the conclusion of the sermon he offered to give the congregation an afternoon service. Between the serv ices the news spread about the town that the young clergyman, who bad been refused the pulpit of the large church, was to preach again In the small one. 1th the generous Impulse of Englishmen to take the side of any one whom they fancy to be injured, the numbers who pressed to hear him were so great that the congregation overflowed until the churchyard was crowded. Even the choir deserted rrom the parish church, in order to testify their sympathy with the young clergyman who had fallen under the rector's bin. Amongst the crowd In the centre aisle there stood a man so noted for bis ungodliness and profane language as to be known in Basingstoke by the name of "Swearing Tom." lie was a leader in sin and profanity, and for seventeen years be bad never entered a church. It was only curiosity which brought bim now. The text was taken from Ezekiel: "I will put a new spirit within you." Toward the close of the sermon, the preacher quoted the words, "If ye then, be!ng evil, know bow to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" remarking that, con trary to the conclusion which might have been expected, "the offer was not to children, bat simply to tbose who asked. There was nothing, therefore, between the worst of men and this most blessed gift from Heaven, but to ask for it."' He then added, "If the most wicked man In this church would go borne and pray that God, for Christ's sake, would give him His Holy Spirit to change bis heart. God would bear and answer that man's prayer." These words went straight to the heart of 'Swearing Tom." "I am the worst man here, "be said to himself; "I will go home and pray." As he went, he bad to pass by the familiar public house, but, unmoved by the calls of his companions, he refused to tarn in. On reaching bis home, he threw him self upon his knee3, and tried to pray in the words which be had beard from the pulpit. The prayer was answered. From that time be be3 ime a changed man, and bis name of "Swearing Tom" was soon altered for that of "Fraying Tom," by which he was known until the day of his death. He placed his leisure time at the disposal of his clergyman for visits to the sick and afflicted, and was made a great blessing, for upwards ot half abentury in his native town. It was not un'.il Mr. Marsh preached again in that church, after a lapse of thirty years, that be became aware of the blessed result of his first Sunday's sermon, when Tom himself asked leave to speak to him in the vestry, and told him the story of bis conversion. Many years later, as Dr. Marsh was going up the stairs of Exeter Hall for the 1 ist meeting there of the British and Foreign Bible Society at which be was able to be present, a stranger met him and asked if be was not Dr. Marsh; on receiving the reply, he said, "Ah! dear sir.

Her friend, the Vicomtesse de ltevers. a short, comfortable matron, fat and 40. but like the majority of French women by no means fair, also sighed aud endeavored to look as sympathetic as ber absolute ignoiance of the matter In question would allow of.

My doctor assures me and Madame raritoff. whose health was last sum ciently delicate to be ot all-absorbing interest to ber and not so much as to prevent ber going about as much as she liked, launched forth into a dissertation on her favorite topic. Little did she know that at the very same moment Anna was walking up and down their drawing-room in a frenzy of excitement, on discovering the name of Basil Twickenham in the list of visitors to Spa. Once again she reviewed ber brief love tale, her blind faith in tne man who bad forsaken ner. ber girlish dreams; and then the rude awakening, the shame, the bitter indig nation. She had lived it all down at last; she bad hoped that the very mem ory of it would in time fade out of ber life: and now this man must needs in sult ber afresh by his close proximity, However, she would know how to con ceal her annoyance; no one, not even net mother, should guess at the emo tion she felt; as for Basil, she would prove by her airy and serene demeanor bow easily she bad gotten over the past. The next morning, when Madame Pari to 3 was quaffing ber matutinal glass of water, with the aid of Sirop de Groseilles and sundry grimaces at the 1 ouhon. she was surprised to see ber daughter bestow a gracious bow on a young man who was approaching, and who. unlike the generality ot their acquaintances, had not first uncovered. Down went Madame Paritoff's glass, aid up went ber gold plncenez, just in time to see Basil Twickenham color up to the roots ot bis brown hair, and re turn the salute with grave dignity.

Madame Parltoff gasped and clutched her daughter's arm for support, while the latter gazed serenely at the ap proachlng figure : that blu3h was balm to ber feelings, the sight ot ber evi deutiy made him uncomfortable so much the better; she would try and make bim more so. The momentary confusion had, how ever, died away as completely as the blush when Basil stood by ber side. greeting her as calmly as though he, an ordinary acquaintance, had parted from ber yesterday. His prevailing sentiments were those ot astonishment and admiration; asion ishment that the timid, half -developed damsel ot five years ago should have grown into this beautiful, queenly girl; admiration not only ot her person but of ber manner, ber self-possession, the easy grace w ith which she conducted herself under circumstances which most people would have found embarrassing. Madame 1'aritoff, however, could not dissemble so well, and was almost offensively rude; after a few moments putting an end to the conversation by drawing ber daughter's arm through hers and walking away, The Ice was broken, nevertheless, and after a few days Basil again found him self on intimate terms with the Pan toffs. Anna having made her mother understand the advisability of proving that they were In no wise heart-brckea or even piqued by his behavior in the past. and. further, announcing, much to the latter's surprise, that it amused her to see him again. To Basil the renewal of acquaintanceship under such altered circumstances was not altogether deligatful; he was more hurt and annoyed at Anna's airy concern than he would have cared to own, and his sense of shame for the past was second only to the interest which she now excited in bim. They met fre quently and he Invariably found her charming, affable and amusing, but apparently hopelessly Indifferent to himself.

Matters came to a crisis one day when he was sitting beside ber, a little apart from the talkative circle, where Madame 1'aritoff reigned suprems. The band was playing an air which bad been a favorite of the l'aritoffs in old times, and to wh:ch a friend of theirs had set some words "On dlt, mon auge, je le sals bien Que l'amour chauge Uu u'en crois rien! Sj it began, finUhing with the asser tion: 'L'amour qui change n'est point l'amour! Basil had heard Anna sing It many a time in those by-gone days, and some how, at the sound, his prudence was flung tn the winds, ana almost berore he knew what he was doing, he bent forward and was declaring his love. Anna just turned ber eyes toward him. without changing either ber attitude or the expression or her face at lirst. that is to Siy. As Basil, however. losing his head more and more in his excitement, proceeded to aver that bis love, though it had slumbered lor a brief space, was nevertheless ardent and true, and had been reawakened at the very sight ot her, a smile rippled over ber face, which presently gave way to a low burst of ecstatic laughter.

'Anna, do not trifle with me any more,' said Basil, bis agitation increas ing as his hopes fell. 'Can not you forget the oast and give ma a straight forward answer as between man and woman? Can vou. will you love me a littler She might have been touched by bis bumble, honest pleading, me intense love about which, this time at least. there could Oe no mistake, but she was not. He was under her heel, anl she prepared tt crush him. A straightforward answer as be tween man and woman?' she repeated. no shade of either hardness or triumph in her musical voice. 'Can I love you? Let me see can I? Xo. I don't think I can. When I analyze my heart. Mr Twickenham, 1 find, where you are concerned, the most absolute indiffer ence. Xow, shall we change the sub ject?' Basil rose, white to the Hps, but wit'j a certain dignity. 'I will detain you no longer, be said; 'I did not think any woman could have shown herself so utterly heartless. Good-by, you will never be troubled by me again. I shall leave this this hateful placs at once. Bon voyage!' returned Anna, with ber most winning smile, and extended her hand, which Basil, however, was too angry to take. So the old score is wiped out at last!' she said to herself as she watched his retreating figure, and then, joining her mother's circle, entered with fever ish eagerness into the conversation. Never bad she been so charming, so animated, as this afternoon; Madame Parltoff was quite amazed to find her so lively. But the time came all too soon for ber to be alone, and that night sleep became impossible to her. Basil's voice still rang in ber ears; Good-by; you will never be troubled by me again. I did not think any woman could have shown herself so utterly heartless.' And. gloat as she would over her triumphant retaliation. she could not feel that ber day's work was altogether a subject for rejoicing. She was up and dressed by 6 o'clock on the following morning, having tossed about until she could endure the feverish unrest no longer. Sua the Spa she acknowledged was still wrapped In slumber, but the birds were singing in the tress, the sua was high in the heavens, and the milk-carts, with their white-capped drivers and teams of dogs, were jingling in the promenade b?iow. 'I shall go out, said Anna, her Eng lish education enabling ber to under take without qualms what another girl a the same position would consider a dreadful breach of proprieties. Out she set accordingly, a Huffy mufflir wrapped round her as a preservative against the morning air, and a shady hat tilted wall over her eyes, which bore unmistakable signs or tears AddeJ to the pain of old memories, the soreness left by the old wrong, and. more unendurable than either, was the agony ot self-reproach which hal all at once takes possession of her. But this she was determined to subdue, and with characteristic energy proceeded to tako what she considered the most efficient means ot doing so. About half way up a certain wooded hill In the neighborhood was a rustic seat placed at a sudden turn in the path so as to be almost invisible to the pasters- by, and here, five years ago, she bad taken leave of Basil. The recollection of her own weakness aud his perfidy would be a wholesome subject for ber morning's meditation, and would ef fectually remove the foolish regret at having inflicted just punishment where it bad been so well deserved. Her destination was soon reached, and, throwing herself upon the bench. she set herself about her appointed task. She would not spare bcrstl; ot that she was determined. She would go over the whole scene iu her mind from the very beginning, aud then she would think ot the end of it all. If that did not thoroughly sicken her nothing else would. lie had reached the rendezvous first at that farewell meeting. Coming down the path in haste she had seen him standing by the beacli engsrly on the lookout for her. He had run down to her, and, after the customary lover's blandishments, (pihl), they had Blowly climbed the hill together. Seated side by side, and hand in hind her lip curled at the recollection they had talked a great deal of non sense, as young lovers will, lie had told ber bow bitter was this parting to him, how hard be found it to obey bis father, and how unnecessary and cruel the restricliou laid up?n him, and then he had begged tier to love and trust bim during the allotted period and always to remain true to blui. Anna blushed hotly at the thought of how fervently she had answered him, of how, her voice quivering with eager ness, she had sworn to love him, and him only, all the days of ber life. As the time drew near for separating, they had arranged to part there where no one could see them, and no unfeeling comments could be made. And so, after a last furewe.l, be bad left ber. but pausing a moment at the turn of the path and seeing ber in tears he had made a step back, aud then she had flown to meet him. Oh, heavens! bow she loved then I Unconsclomly rising to ber feet. Anna ran forward a llltie way, as she had done of old, her arms outstretched. the tears running down her face, ber breast heaving with sobs ran forward as far as the turn of the path to come face to face with Basil himseir, who. In very melancholy mood, was toiling upward. Her first Impulse was to 11 y past bim before he had time to notice ber, but Basil, looking up quickly and divining her Intention, placed himself in the narrow pathway in such a manner as to bar ber progress. 'How dare you!' she cried, shaking with sobs and ber eyes flashing through her tears. 'Have you come to to in suit me?' Basil was silent, his face a study of wonder and admiration, through which there appeared to struggle a certain dawning hope. Let me pass" exclaimed Anna, fur iously, making a step forward, and then Basil stretched forth bis band. and. taking hers, said authoritatively 'You must wait a little you can not go down la the town like that.' She suffered bim to leal her back to the bench, where, being seated, she endeavored with all her might to obtain her self-con troL But this was at first impossible, the strain which bad ao long upheld her having relaxed, and the violent emotion of a little while ago, together with ber present sense ot humiliation; causing her to break down altogether. 'What are you doing here?' she sobbed. 'How dare you be here? You said you were leaving yesterday.' 'I meant to.' he said, 'and then I thought I would wait and say a quiet good-bye to the old place before having done with it, anl all belonging to it, forever.' 'Why don't you go now then?' she cried, vehemently. "How can you bear to stop and see me like this? Go if you bad a spark ot gentlemanly feeling you would not require to be told to do so. Bat Basil did nothing of the sort, on the contrary, be deliberately drew near the bench, and sat down beside her, while the hope in bis face grew and brightened till It became positive tri umph. Anna gazed at him for a 1 moment, one hand at her throat, in the fruitless endeavor to save ber sobs, then a fiery blush swept over brow and cheeks. Do you think.' she said, bitterly. 'that I am crying for you, that I regret what I said to you yesterday do you dare to think so? Oh! surely nothing Is wanting to complete my humiliation! Oh! In a passion ot shame and anger. Oh. why can not I control myself bet ter than to lead you to suppose such a thing! Listen, do you know why I came bere? I came that, by remem bering your baseness and treachery, I might despise you more, loathe and detest you even more than I did al ready ' She broke off suddenly, for. quiver ing under Basil's mustache, she caught sight ot a tender, triumphant, but dis tinctly amused smile. t urlous at the sight she tried to speak, to express her scorn and indig nation more fully, but conflicting emo tions choked her utterance. Basil waited quietly; he could afford to wait now, for. after what he bad seen, be felt himself master of the situation. At last she grew calmer, and then he snoke. 'Anna,' be said. I thank beaven that I was prompted to come here this morning; had I gone as I intended yes terday I should all my life have remem bered you as a sort of iceberg and now Now? she repeated, drawing up ber bead in the endeavor to regain ber old statelinees. 'Now I have found you a very womanly woman; you deceived me once. Anna you can never do so again.' 'It is like you to twit me so." she replied, quickly. 'Only you would be unmanly enough to take advantage of a weakness lor which 1 shall despise myself all my life. Do you suppose I am breaking my heart because I love you you? No; I am crying because I nave no heart to break 1 am crying for myself, for my youth which you spoilt, for that power of loving which I once possessed and which is now gone for ever. 1 es. 1 lied yesterday when I said my love for you had beeu child's play; it was as true and deep and ten der a love as woman evar had for man. But it is all gone gone! aud I shall never love anyone any more. Again her voice quivered and tears stood on the long dark lashes, and then Basil rose and stood in front of ber. speaking slowly and deliberately. 'Anna, 1 do not believe you. I be lieve you love me still. She gazed at him, too much insulted and astonished Cor the moment to reply. l ao,' asseverated Basil; no woman could ever love like that and then get over It. If you spoke untruly yesterday. so did L I said my love had been real love only It wavered for a moment now I say it wasn't or it couldn't have wavered at all but I agree with you that yours Is. My belief Is, Anna, that you love me now, only you will not own it.' She looked at bim, mastered by his tone, but still endeavoring to fight against him and herself. This is the most preprosterous' site began, and then stopped short as Basil took her baud and looked fixedly a. her. Well, in some inexplicable fashion an unexpected ally came to Basil's assistance; neither wore nor less than the very heart the existence of which had been so stoutly denied. It backed up Basil so vigorously, and so cordially endorsed the truth of what he said that poor Anna found herself quite powerless between them. Aud so it came to pass that whan, suddenly abandoning his calm argumeutive tone he fell to pleading earnestly, appealing to the memory of the love ttmt had once been that was still so strung within her. all ber stern resolves melted away. If I cannot love you. Basil,' sl.e said, at least I can love nobody else. Tbn Dog Saved the Train.
