And only part remained. Upon one side I could just trace “In memory of our mother;” An epitaph which spoke cf ‘home” Was chiseled on the other. I'd gazed on monuments of fame, High toweling to the skies; I’d seen the sculptured marble tower Where a great hero lies; But by this epitaph I paused, And read it o’er and o’er, For 1 had never seen inscribed Such words as these before. “She always made home happy.” What noble record this! A legacy of memory sweet To those she loved and left. And what a testimony given By those who knew her best, Engraven on this plain, rude stone That marked their mother’s rest.

CHAPTER VIII. “Keep close to me, dear mistress,” Janet said in a low frightened tone, as we were going, at night fall, down some narrow London streets—sh? in her common serving-woman's dress, and l in one that had belong* ed lo her own child, now dead, which filled me as though it had been fash ioned for me.—Ah, therein lay the secret of her kindness! Faraway in the north country, her child lay out of sight ; and in form and face, she fancied she could trace a likeness between us. “Keep closer still, sweet lady,” she cried softly, as some men looked CALL ON OR ADDRESS bard upon us, and then passed on. * !(is T VALUABLE LUNG MLS\m| „ „ I My uncle ■nd || » wile were out t.aJ R. a.

Jane* made her way towards a low stone house, enclosed on two sides by the rem nant of a wall. It looked gray and dismal in the twilight, with narrow grated windows; and the first r^d moon-beams threw a livid light upon the deformity ot its shape; it stood to ilseit I thought, anti ran sidelong with the bank, and we could hear the sullen flow of the river as it g»id ed slowly along, and see the mist rising from if, like poisonous vapor and settling on the house. Janet knew where his window was ; and to my mind, he seemed the only one confined in this panic ular prison—for all looked gloomy, save his taper’s light. We went straightway to the end of the build ing. A broken wall—part of the one in front, it seemed—ran by it to the water’s edge, and she pointed to it. “Gel thee upon this wall,” she said, “and that will bring thee up to his window.” “Can it fetch harm upon him ?” 1 asked with sudden fear; fori had done him enough already, God wisls how unwittingly. “Nay, poor lamb, the jailers are a bed, or carousing, taking little need of me and thee ; beside, the sight of us would cause no wonderment; some few hang round about these dismal walls alway, as if ’twere pleasure to be here.” And as she spoke, she took her seat upon some bioken steps—cov ering her lace with herhands—whilst I climbed up, as best I could, upon the wall. His heart was so fixed upon his work, that I could see him sitting by the little taper’s light, with the Holy Gospels upon his knee, his finger following the line as he read. “John,” I said softly; and at the sound of my voice he looked up— his eyes full of surprise; yet, the calmness of his face no whit disturb ed, only a sweet smile came about his mouth as he saw me at the grat ing—a smile that grew into a low yet hearty laugh, when be came nearer and saw me dressed in the serving woman’s gown and ki rile, and the milk-white cap and apron. With his old forethought, he had put the taper out, hut I could see in the early moonlight that the close confinement | had never followed his present was working ill upon one so used to; course.

IIs Enormilies and Deformities. Does any lady ever look at the arrangement of an}' other lady’s hair? Dues any lady ever look into a hair dresser’s shop? if so, bow does the hideous chignon, in its pres ent proportions hold its ground ? If any woman’s head grew into such monstrous shapes as may now be seen in all directions wherever wo men are congregated together, it would be a cause of mourning to her family, of consultation among emi nent surgeons, and she would prob ably spend the greater part of her time in judicious seclusion. Here shall be a woman with small, deli* cate features, a small head aud of mall slat"re. Instead of making the most of the natural beauties with which she is gifted, she frizzles and cuts, and gums her front hair into all sorts of uncouth forms, and sur mounts her back hair with an enor mous ball of somebody clse’s tresses. The lady appears to have two heads, one (the artificial) considera bly larger than the other. The hut has to be perched on the nose, and a most preposterous result is present* ed. However, there is one virtue about the chiynon—it is honest. There is no deception, gentlemen. Even if the lathes were desirous of trying to lead people to suppose that the potter’s knots on their fiends are composed oft’ eir own hair, it would be useless. For the hair dresser*, anxious to advertise their vvaies. have rendered that deception an itn- is characteristic of possibility. Their shops are full of chignons. Plain chignons ; frizzled chignons; chignons woven into a pattern similar to the large ba*ket work used ( hieflv for waste paper baskets; chignons with straight, flim sy tresses pendent from them ; etiig- nons of every variety have long been familiar lo the male observers.

Extract from a ietter dated loGti, from Sir llenry Sidney, to bis son then 12 years of age, who afterwards became the Sir Pbriip Sidney, so justly cele brated in English history. “Think upon every Word that you will speak before you utter it, and Re member how nature hath rampired up, as it were, the tonge with teeth, lips yea, and hair without the lips, and all betokening reins or bridles for the loose use ot that member.

Then, hearing Janet call to me, he said with more emotion than I had ever yet seen him betray, “Sweet love, stand where the moon-light may fall on thee, for the space of a second.” And I took the cap from my head and turned my face towards him. “Come closer to the grating, I may not kiss thee by reason of these bars, but I would have thee near me for a brief moment.” I thought I could see a Hush on his thin cheek ; but my eyes were misty and heavy laden then; only his last few words, spoken painfully, sank into my heart; he said, “forever, and forever!” and I repealed them alter him slow ly ; and then Janet, in sudden fear for my safely, lifted me down and we went home. That night, as I turned upon my bed—which seemed to grow more hard each moment beneath me—at intervals Janet would sieal into the room and hover around me, wind ing my hair upon her fingers ten derly, or kissing my hands which she said lay limp in hers. It is a soic, sore thing for a child ish heart to grow bitter with ihe sense of wrong done to ii; lor childish shoulders to he weighted with a cross ihat well might bear an older spirit down.

I thought there might be error in his way as well as theirs—error in his head, nev- eroncein his heart, which I knew was fully persuaded he did right, or he nie, and sits on yonder steps.” “Draw the kerebiefover thy head ; the air is heavy for thee, nigh this river,” he made reply; and then, after he had watched me do his bid- smile of God !

Ii is fashionable lo wear a beard and most men’s faces are improved by it; yet taise beards, chin chignons, so to speak, have not yet become popular. We are afraid, however, to cry out too loudly against the chignon. Feminine taste is a grewsnme thing to meddle wiih, and it is very possi ble that a sudden change might be marie, and we might find ladies with their hair whether scanty or abund ant, plastered tight down to their heads. So it was with crinoline. In mod eration and in its earlier days, it was a graceful and convenient fashion. The era ot iron hoops, of horse hair substances many inches thick, of enormous size and utter unmanage ableness, set in. The crinoline be came an instrument of tortuie to wretched men, and must have been most inconvenient and uncomforta ble lo its wearers. When at lust, the fashion changed, was the sensi ble part of the dress retained, and the absurd rejected ? Not a bit of it. Horrible, straight, clinging skirts, with long trailing trains, succeeded, and on the whole, it may be said that the tyranny of lash on is worse than it was.—All the Year Round.

The distance by the Southern Pacifiic will be much short er j and the route can be used l h# whole year round.
