syllables, his looks and faculties hanging 0 n the woman who could I boast of a more Protean variety in ber phases, moods, opinions, and also principles than could Elizabeth. Lucetta had peristed in drawing ber into the circle; but she had remained like an awkward third point which that circle would not touch. Susan Henchard's daughter bore up against the frosty ache of this treatment, as she had borne up under worse things, and contrived as soon as possible to get out of the inharmonious room without being missed. The Scotchman seemed hardly the same Farfrae who had danced with her, and walked with her, in a delicate acrobatic balance between love and friendship—that period in the history of a love when alone it can be said to be unalloyed with pain. She stoically looked from her bedroom window, and contemplated her fate as if it were written on the top of the church tower hard by. “Yes," she said, at last, bringing down her palm upon the sill with a pat. “he is the second man of that story she told me.” All this time, Henchard’s smoldering sentiments toward Lucetta had been fanned into higher and higher inflammation by the circumstances of the case. He was discovering that the young woman, for whom he once felt a pitying warmth of gratitude, which had been almost chilled out of him by reflection, was, when now qualified with a slight inaccessibility and a more matured beauty, the very being to make him satisfied with life. Day after day proved to him, by her silence, that it was ol no use to think of bringing her round by holding aloof; so he gave in, and called upon her again, Elizabeth Jane being absent. He crossed the room to her, with a heavy tread of some awkwardness, his strong, warm gaze upon her—like the sun beside the moon, in comparison with Farfrae’s modest look—and with something of a hale-fellow bearing, as, indeed, was not unnatural. Hut she seemed so transubstantiated by her change of position, and held out her hand to him in such cool friendship, that he became deferential, and sat down with a perceptible loss of power. He understood but little of fashion in dress, yet enough to feel himsell inadequate in appearance beside her whom he had hitherto been dreaming of as almost his property. She said something very polite about his being good enough to call, This caused him to recover balance. He looked her oddly in the face, losing his awe. (to be continued.) A Sacrilege. New York Son. Probably the most “tony” stable, in outward appearance, in Brooklyn, is one on upper Classon avenue that used to be a church. It stands today just about as the congregation left it, except that a paved driveway runs in at the wide front door. At night, when its stained glass windows are illuminated, it might be supposed that service was taking place. An Electrical Remedy. Electrical Review. A European dentist is said to have had great success in curing toothache within five or six minutes, and often in less time, by applying one pole of an electrostatic machine to the troublesome tooth,’ and the other pole to the body of the patient. In seventy-six cases thus treated by him only three are said to have been unsatisfactory. Ramoses’ Sacred Fowl. The Ibis, the sacred bird of Egypt, is not peculiar to that country, bul is found in considerable numbers in the South, in Florida especially. In St. Augustine and other coast towns it is no unusual thing to see an Ibis perched on the ridge-pole of a house or stable or stalking solemnly about a yard, for the bird is easily tamed and seems to be fond of human company. Old Time Postage. Before 1845 a letter carried over five hundred miles in this country cost twenty-five cents. From 1845 to 1863 it cost ten cents. In 1863 the uniform three-cent rate was adopted.
