It was a private parlor of a hotel in the Provinces. Two men sat at a well-spiead break fasetable. The younger had just push. ed back from the table with an impatient movement. 'No,' he said, abruptly, 'I cannot eat—l cannot drink. If I believed in presentiments, I should say I felt a warning of something disagreeable, if not horrible.' 'Well, thee, my dear nephew,' said the el• der, 'as you de not believe in such things, why not make yourself comfortable and en. joy your breakfast? You are not to start until to-morrow, anyway you know.' The young man arose from his seat and walked to the window, throwing it open and looking out into the frosty, brilliant, sunshine. The air was intensely cold, and reddened his cheeks iestantly. He drew in his head say ing : 'I shall start this morning. There's going to be a storm, and I must go. Will you ac company me to the station ? The train starts io an hour.' The uncle shivered, and drew his dressing gown closer. , No,' he said, 'l'll not leave the house un less lam obliged to. I did not leave Eng land to get frozen by a Canadian winter. I did not know you were so sentimentally fool ish. Alice will ant thank you for'eoming a day sooner. Women don't like a bridegroom around when the wedding, preparations are going on, no matter how much in love they aro. Take my advice and stay here until the time appointed for you to start.' Robert rtiussell, the young man addressed, listened with great civility to his companion's words. What was such advice in comparison with the urgent cries of his whole nature? lie had left England three weeks before to claim the woman'of his choice, who had been• year in Montreal, whither she had emigrated with her parents,,carrying with her the love and promise of one in, whom she believed with utter devotion. •• Russell's uncle and adopted father had se companied him, and now sat smiling at the impatience, the whims of youth.

He did not fear the storm while' en the ears. He knew they would arrive at their destination before the storm, would be Buff'. ciently advanced to retard them much ; but he remembered the twenty,miles he must go in a cutter after the InSt station, for - Alice a.• waited him at the residence of a relative be• yond al. , Her aunt had persuaded her to, ha e the g there, where wealth could 'ye its glow to the ceremony; and what girl Could resist such an invitation `lf she *ere only in Montreal P.- murmured Russell, and the first few flakes began to drift downward. Soon the air was•filled with fien sharp par: tieles. It grew colder-initead - of apParently so, for the Wind rose and Whiled the snow fierce! Chad snowed two hours whop 'Russell a lighted at the station in Montreal. ,It was already dark. save that the'glonni Was miti gated by a full moon. He was half benumbed by eold and sitting so long, but hccould net wait. Reason told him that he was a day early, and might easi ly stay in the- city'until to-morrow ; but some feverish, merhid' haste urged him on—it Was impossible. for him to rest quiet a moment. Be stood a few moments by the bright fire in the waitiagroorn. Then he decided to go ta_the_hoime oecupied by Alice's parents. Arriving at the house be learned with dis may that Alice had left two or three hours pmevieue—Oppressed with fearful foreboding,: he hurried on, taking the road which the set vant-supposed=hlir-driver-h sd—selet ted,--As - he emerged into the open country the run- errs- - - - a—th'eleutter=sank=deop-intoLt ci_gpow;_ The_horses strugglee desperately through the drifts, while the blinding storm and• benumb ing cold almost overpowered him. To arouse himself from the lethargy which he felt was tae precursor of death, he stepped out of the sleiah and plodded_on beside_it._For-honrry it seemed to him, he traveled ~ alternately walking and riding, the animals he drove be ing almost exhausted. Suddenly with a snort of surprise . or alarm, his horses stopped and.threw up their heads, their eyes started id , their sockets at some thing indistinct in the gloom ahead. There is something iofeeting in the alarm of an an imal * and Russell felt his cheeks pale as be moved slowly forward leaving the hor ses standing there. A shudder like the first chill of en im pending doom, shook the youn'i i man as he came upon a cutter overturned in the snow. He was close to it before he eoeld make out. what it Was. There were no horses attached —that he saw at a glsooe, but , the tugs, out short off,, were fastened there. The snow bad blown away from one aide of the sleigh, while the other side was deeply imbedded.— He leaped upon the rennet, and hurriedly pulled the buffalo robes away. A fear came upon him such as he had never known he fore. At last—it seemed to him so long, though it was hardly a moment--in that snowy moon shine he saw'the pallid face.of a women ly ing motionless among her furs, With a surprising cry he lifted that beau tiful form to his shoulder, and sat down on the cutter, bending his lips to the cold one that could not respond to his caress. And yet she was not dead—a faint breath just sighed across her cheek. ' Was it thus he had thought to greet his promised wife ? iie could not think—he knew nothing but that he bad found Alice —and his whole being rose to the resolve that he would save her--that neither snow, nor ice, nor cold should take her from him. She was his and he claimed her despite ev erything. But lie could not linger there; be must be moving en, though ever so slowly. He bore his burden to his own cutter, ta king with him the furs that could not save her afterthat fearful sleep had begun. • His horses walked on again—they needed no guiding—they could find their way bettor than man could direct. Anything'but intense love would have do spaired is that tempest of snow, with that pittiless wind freezing across• the earth, rais ing no glow on the blue-white face against his own. Ile roughly chaffed with snow her hands and face ; bat be aeon' aw that severer meas ures mast be tried.; that.the lethargy was too deep. She dimly felt the deep friction, for she moaned and' seemed to shriek from it —a wordless request to be left alone. Russell had forgotten the cold for himself, the snow Swept by lain unheeded. Again he lifted her in his arms and stepped out into the snow, letting her stand beside him, thee trying to make her fight her wai`ea,' ktiow log that if once she could be 'aretised,' she was saved.

She bad aliscovered that he was in a semi-intoxicated state, but she refused to return, and he would not go a step further, and had out the traces, and, mounting one of the horses, left her to her fate. She did not know when, she spoke that miles bank, within a few miles of "the city, be lay frozen to death, the eddying avow drifting over his body. He bad bend a fate which his mistreat had escaped. Backward through a vista of happy years looked Russell and his wife to that night of horror in Canada, when peril revealed to thorn the full depth of their devotion—infin itude of their love.

Did you - ever kear, sis, how it was that Edwards the mason, gave up drinking ?' said a workman to my father, one day, when. he was talking to him about the evils of iutem• pentim. 'No,' said my father, 'bow, was it. . 'Well, one day Edwards was drinking in a public house, when the lamdloid's wife came to call her husband to dinner. 'What's for dinner ?' said the man. 'Roast goose,' replied his wife, • 'ls there apple-sauce fliesoiked. 'No' she answered. 'Well go and make some; I won't eat goose without apple•sance.' !When the woman bad left the room to prepare this delicacy, Edwards was so im pressed by the scene he had witnessed that ler the first time in his life he began to think what a fool he had been. 'Here's this man,' said he to himself, can't eat his dinner of roast goose without apple sauce, while my poor wife and children at borne are glad to get a herring, for their dinners, and very often can't even have that.. Whose money I should like to know goes to provide this fellow's good thingsr— Mine, and that of other poor foe's like me.— Well, what's done can't - be undone. no use crying over spilt milk, but that fal low shan't dine off toast goose again at my expense.' So be paid his reckoning, and walked out of that public house never to enter it again.' The same thing is going en in thousands of pnblie•housos all over the country--the landlord and his wife and children feasting on the best of everything, and the poor tip sy men who pay far it having scarcely enough to keep themselves from starving.
