Mr. Jennings, in ltis Inst letter to
the World, draws dreary sketch of
the condition of English trade and of
English business. He says:
It would be very strange if there
were not plenty ot people still left
with money enough to come- to Lon
don to enjoy themselves for a few
weeks during the session. Nothing
short of national bankruptcy would
bring about such a state of aft airs as
that. But the best customers our
shop keepers have had this year are
their American visitors, who bring
with them substantial proof of the
returning prosperity of their country.
It is only fair that they should buy
something in London once now aud
then, for the variety of goods which
Londoners and the English people
generlly buy of them passes all belief,
In almost every street there are one or
two purely American stores. The
latest addition to them is a candy
store in the strand, and I hope that
some American dentists will follow to
re pair the ravages which the candies
are pretty sure to make upon the
teeth. A large place in Oxford street
has been taken tor the sale of Ameris
can beef, although it is my belief that
every butcher sells it, charging for it
8.52 A. M. the price |of English beef. Ask any
salesman in Covent Garden Market
how supply of apples is likely to be this
year and he will answer: "It all de*»
pends on America.’’ Pretty nearly two
thirds of the grain we cat comes from
your shores. Cut us off from the
rest of the world for a month or two'
or even less and halt the population
would have to starve. Our su]>plics
of the nece8sariesof life have to come
from foreign countries. There is no
nation in the world and there never
has been one which bad to. depend so
largely for its food upon oilier nations.
Is tliaia slate of affairs for the English
people to rejoice in ? The wise inen
and philosophers say that it is and
regard it ns an unerring sign of pros>
perity. Time, which tests most
things, will test this theory also.
The rentals of land are falling.
The farmers used to get high prices
when crops were light, but now the
American people cereals and meats
supply the market and keep prices
down.
"Six o’diek!” said Marlon Ililyaral,
looking up suddenly as the tall old
fashioned clock in the corner ran** out
its shrill announcement, “six o’clock,
and oh ! mother here is Jemmy Lane,
punctual to the very moment. Now
we shall have good news from Jack,
I hope.”
She ran out to the gale, flushed and
eager to receive the letter from the
country carrier; and returning seated
herself on a low stool at her mother’s
feet, and broke the envelope.
On the first glance {at its contents,
a shade of disappointment dimmed
her bright face.
Instead of reading the note aloud
she glanced hurriedly over the brief
lines, and then silently, with a quiver
ing lip, placed it in Iter mother’s hand
aud turned aside to a window.
This is what Mrs. Hilyard read :
"Dear MaT>.\m I saw your sou
a few days since, when to my surprise,
he expressed himself reluctant to
apply his money to the redeeming of
the mortgage, saying that he required
it for a speculation which promises to
be more profitable to him Ihhn the
holding of the form I have, there
fore, been compelled to dispose of the
mortgage to a gentleman of my ac
quaintance, who proposes to lake
immediate possesion, and consider it
my duty to inform you at once, iu
order that you may loose no time in
making arrangements for a removal.
Very respectfully,
Ahneii Harris.’’
Mrs. Ililyard returned the letter to
its envelope with a trembling hand
and a dazed, bewildered look, as
though unable to realize the blow
which |had so suddenly fallen upon
them.
. Her eyes met Marion’s ; and the
girl threw herself upon her kr.ees by
her mother’s side and burst into a
passion of tears.
“Oh mother, mother I wiiat shall
we do ? What will become of us ?”
"The Lord will provide.” said Mrs.
Ililyard, raising her overflowing eyes
to the motto on the wall, embroidered
by Marion’s own hand, "Where is
your faith, iny child, that it should
fail you in this very hour of need.”
“Mother it is not so much the lo«s
of our home, nor the poverty and trial
in store which grieves me, but that
Jack—your own son, nty own brother
—should have so changed. Oh,
mother, I know that our Father in
Heaven will not desert us, bat to
whom on earth can we turn when even
Jack can become worldly and heart
less ?’’
At this ra iment a little bine-eyed
girl burst into the room with :
"Mnmtna-Marion ! here is Miss
’Melia Anderson at the gate, in her
buggy. She says will you step out a
minute, for she wants to tell you about
old Mr. Millard being sun struck : and
she daren't to leave her horse without
some body to hold him.”
Marion was iu no condition to listen
to Miss .Melia—the. geatest gossip in
the neighborhood ; Mrs. Hilyard, dry
ing her eyes, in civilly compelled to
seethe informal visitor. Marion, her
head resting upon the window still
behind the.screcn of clinging roses,
could have heard every word spoken;
but absorbed in her grief, she paid no
attention until tile name of \V: t Hin
ton struck upon her oar.
“It’s true, for certain; for Maria had
it from his own sifter, Aggie Hinton.
Says Marie, in her mild way, ‘If he
Comes back with all that money’—you
know bis Uncle Samuel left him most
of his property last year—says Maria,
‘If he comes hack riph, I mean to set
my cap for him.’ On which Aggie
answers. ‘Oh you need’nt; for he’s
to be married befere long, and to a
nice, pretty girl.’ Of course Maria
wanted to know all about it pbiit Ag
gie oqly laughed, in her. mysterious
way; until Maria uys, ‘I believe you
turned out of the dear old house, end
go to reside in the strange city, where
they could net er' f.el at home—Oh,
this was the bitterest fang of all!
So Marion had thought upon first
reading that letter; and it was not
uutil hearing Miss ’Mdia’s words to
her mother that she awoke to the
consciousness that fate could have
even a greater sorrow than this instore
for her.
One year ago she had parted from
her accepted lover, Wat Hinton, in
mutual anger on both sides. Wat
had become jealous, aud had spoken
sharply, to her, and in a manner which
she considered herself justified* ffi' T-c-
se riling.
Wat was too proud to apologize,
and Marion loo proud as well as too
delicate to make advances looking to
a reconciliation; and so they drifted
apart, both miserable, uutil Wat had
broken tho last link by going to the
W e-t.
She heard of him from time to time
through his family, but no word or
message to herself ever catue. In all
this while she had looked forward
with a faint |yearning hope to the
possibility of his some time returning,
and all being made up be:ween
them.
But now this last hope was rudely
stricken to the ground. He had for
gotten her, and was lost forever.
"Oh, it is hard—so hard to bear!”
thought Marion, as with hands uncon
sciously tightly clasped, she passed
slowly under the apple W.ighs of the
old orchard. - ‘ Life is bitter. It lias
taken all from. me. It can have no
more to give. Only ray dear, 'dear
mother and Myra! For their sake3
I must be strong, ami try to bear it
all.’’
On the verge of the orchard where
the high banks sloped abruptly to the
meadow, she came to a mass of tan
gled honeysuckle, fashioned into a
rustic arbor. Wat had made it for
her, and here in tact it was that they
had last departed.
Down iu the meadow rau a little
pathway, leading by a sliort cut to
Wat’s home, acouple of miles away.
How often shedmdset hereof an even
ing nod watched for him !
She could'scarcely look hack upon
any object now before her eyes which
was not connected with some associa
tion of Wat.
There was the walnut tree which lie
aud Jack used to climb, and there the
clear, laughing brook in which he ha 1
taught her to steer the little boat
which he had made for her, laden with
irrain, down to Jack’s famous water
mill, at the roots of that old wiW i
low.
Further up was the real ‘‘grist and
saw mill,” which Jack had always been
so desirous of owning, and which
everybody said would be such a good
invrs'.ment for one who could manage
it properly.
And then Marion, seated on the
bench iu tho rustic arbor, turned
anti looked long aud yearningly at
the old farm bouse preping from the
great beeolu b across the ot chard No
other place on earth could ever he
home to her. And her mother ? Oh,
it would be harder still for her, whose
whole life of fifty years bad been spent
under that roof.
A sudden sound aroused Marion—
a sharp whistle as of some one calling
to a dog, and sho saw' through tear-
dimmed eyes the figure of a man bur
vying along the pathway in the mead
ow. Shu drew back liehiud the screen
of the honeysuckle.
The path led past the aibor, but at
the foot ot the steep bank 'she would
not be discovered in her retreat. So
she thought; but a moment or two ,
after there was a sound of footsteps !
ascending the bank, a rustle of the ‘
•honeysuo Je branches, and Mari.ni
saw slanging in the entrance of the
arbor the figure of a tall y>>una man
who looked Jalmost qs much startled
as herself,
1j tve their dear old home, which had
p tssed into the hands of strangerr.
-Of strangers, Mariou ? Do you
call me a stranger?”
"*ou, Wat?’
He looked surp-ised in his turn.
"DM you not know that it is I wLo
have purchased the dear old farm ?”
Did you not receive Jack’s let
ter?’’
“Oh, Walter, it eaun.it, cannot be
true!’’
He took from a poeb t-book a pa
per, which he opened and placed be-
lore her. It was the mortgage which
her father had given Mr. Abner
Harris.
‘‘And the place is really yours
site said, looking up radiantly through
sudden tears.
"Not mine, but ours, darling !”
She was too happy to speak a vot'd
in answer.
"You see. dear.” Wat said, “Jack
and I talked it over the other day,
aud we agreed, as he was anxious to
pnrch'i -e the mill aud had not means
sufficient for both, that l should take
the farm and leave him at liberty' to
invest in the mill property. It is the
very best tiling for Jack and for his
mother, as I explained to'her, if only
she had received his letter. Jaek 13

and l.e certainly will da well with the
mill. He came up with me in order
to attend to the n atter Forgive me
that I neglected to inform yoti, but I
left him behind in the mnplelield,
talking with Aggie.”
Marion started tip with a glad cry
Coming down the opposite declivity
of the meadow was someliody, joy
ously waving his hand and in two
minutes she was sobbing in her broth
er's arms—sobhing from a fullness of
joy such as site had never in her life
before known.
They hastened to the house, all
three caster to gladden the heart of
the mother.
Jack sprang up to the steps and
took her iu his arms, while Wat lifted
Myra who had run to meet them in
frantic delight.
As Marion passed the threshold, th?
old clock rang out a welcome chime

Poor little sister ? It would be as

Two years ago her busbunl—vbo
had been too little practical to make a

with a very heavy mortgage. Then

“ Sarsaparilla.’-
In a box some twenty by twenty
feet square, open to iheoasl, tho floor
covered with clean, sweet straw, un
trammeled-by halter 1 or bridle, stood
oneofthe Sultan’s gills to O n. Grant.
Tl(e dappled gray beauty d meed up
to the rop ■ barrier, ovor which hung
his Turkish wraps, as warm as wool
and as light as down, and plityfully
laid his velvet lips against my cheek.
The eyes are large, humid orbs, ns
trustful in expressioiras a fawn’s, and
the small i>ointcd cars ns flexible as
lace. His name translated from the
Arabic is “The Leopard’’ but only in
the wonderful shading of the spots on
his front and quarters has lie any
semblance to his feline namesake. He,
stands one inch over fifteen hands,
ami is 7 years old. The duple shades
into a soil gray on his body, that is
ns round as a barrel. The hairs of
his mane an tail without w.iVe or rip
ple, hang ns straight as spun, silk,
conceded the truest evidence of his
lofty lineage. The kmgly creature
was a pet among those who tended
him in the Orient, And he, with hih
mate "Linden-trcej” ‘were selected
out of a stud of twelve hundred
horse* belonging to the Sultan of
Turkey. Th:se hurses nrb priceless
in value, and are never sold.. None
of this strain' has evei* been into this
country until now. ‘
Yesterday afternoon ' a red faced
young man belonging 16 an excursion
party culled into a Wooqw.ard avenue
drtig-s'ore and softly askied the soda-
fountain boy if he was out of any par
ticular kind of syrup. The boy made

“That’s all right—all right - you

man, and away lie won't'.'
The hoy took the empty reservoir
from' the fourftftiii ait-1 replaced it,
and about two minutes llie' young
man returned in company with his
girl and four other people, evidently
all friends. ‘.Walking tip to tho foun
tain he $aid: / !

it, and if he ha-n’t'ally 1 sarsaparilla 1
wont take nothing * What do yoit
say?’’ •*'
“Oh, we’ll take the same,’’ they re
plied.
The young mail began to smile,
and his left eye began to draw down,
but what, was bin horror to see the
boy draw off six glasses in succession
‘and push' tljeiji to the fount, whqre
they wereeitgoriy drained of their eoiir

look of mingled hate and murderous
