SIR WAT-TER BCOTF AND BIS DOGS. „ On visiting Ahhotsford in 1817, Washinglcii Irving en- 3^yed the pleasure of a ramble with Scott and his dogs, tQlS dosoiplion of the eocne is so an>u»ing that we oan *9;Ucsly at>ate a jot :—As we sallied forth, eveiy dog in *^e establiahroent tinned out to attar,d ns.

ATTACK ON A TUKKISH MONITOR.
ATTACK ON A TUKKISH MONITOR. Telegraphing from Tuma Muguerelle on Saturday, the correspondent of the Daily A'ews sends the following account Bussian torpedo boats attacking a Turkish monitorA most interesting affair occurred on tbe Danube here drring the operations attending tbe p.psagw of the Danwhe—a fight between CIo Turkish rnonitor and fottt. Bussian torpedo boats. It was g^mewhere near the mouth of the Aluta. Thw monitor had been giving the Russians II. good deal of trouble, and shewed aft arwrnnt of activity and energy very unussal With tlie Turks, continually shelling the Russian batteries, and destroying the boats. The Rassianf accordingly determined to destroy it. Four torpedo boats were prepared, and sent azKHMt the monitor. Hiding behmd an island, they lay in wait, and when the vessel was steaming past suddenly dafted out from their hiding-place and bore down on her in broad daylight. This monitor, it soon became evident was handled and commanded in a very ditfeteiit manner from othets with Which the Knesians have had to deal her«» With wtadei'fal quickness and skill she wafc pre- nared for action, ftnd nothing daunted by the fate of others made a successful defence against the fotir i -rrible enemies, a defenee of which the Russians speak with the greatest admiration. Her commander began by likewise thrusting out torpedoes on the ends of long spars, thus threatening the boats with the danfcferof being blown iuto tbe air first, at the same time opening a terrible fire on them with small arms and mitrailleuse. He beside* manoeuvred his boat in a most skilful manner, with a dexterity and address, which, with the torpedoes protecting made it impossible for the Russian boats to approach suffi- ciently near. He besides tried to run them down, and very nearly succeeded in doing 10. The reason soon became evident. Tfe* commander was a European, whom the BuuiaillJ believe wae au Englishman, and who directed the movements from the deck. He was plainly visible oil the time, and was a tall man with a long Monde heard parted ia the middle. He stood with his band. in bUJ pockets giving ordera in the calmest manner poW-blo. The torpedo boats oontinned their tf. niBU foe more than an ltoor, flitting round the monitor, aIiDd seeking the opportunity to got at her, but ■vithout success. The monitor was equally active in trvinjr to mn them dowr, avoiding a collision by quick and skilful movements, backing and advancing, turning, and nlouchin" the water into foam as she pursued or avoidfed her tiny but dangerous adversaries—a lion attacked by a lat At one foment one launch, in rapid manoeuvres, found itsdf between the monitor and the shore, with no t distftnee between tbera. The monitor's head was in hi« other direction, but hei commander instantly began backinr her down on the torpedo boat, with the intention of crushing it against the bank. Just at thi. moment the engineer of the launch was wounded. There was some confusion and delay in starting the engines, while the current carried her head round in suoh a polÍtiÍonas to render escape impossible. One of the crew Bnrf"g out into the water and pushed the ground, while another started the engines just in time to escape with a scrape, the shave was so close. One V nssian officer (prang ashore, and Beeing the contain of the monitor coolly standing on the deck with his hands in his pocketf, emptied his re- volver at him, three shots, at a distance of not more that 40 feet. The captain of the monitor, in answer, took off hi* hat and bowed, not having received even a scratch. Later however,the gallant fellow seems to have been killed or wounded, for he suddenly disappeared from the deck. The monitor Immecllately. afterwards retired preCipi- tatelv from the scene of action. This monitor has since been surrounded by torpedoes so that it is believed £ >' cannot escape.

The other two are Charles Jarvis and a man named Wal«L belonging to Pluaostead. They had only been on board a short timA when the aecident took place, and Wales was on the deck at the time the other two being below. The body of Wales has been recovered, minne a leg, and fearfully ma. tilated. The ooncussion was felt for miles round, and caused groat alarm, the euiell of the powder being percepti- ble for at feast two miles. A number ol panes of glass at the Ship and Lobster were shattered, and property in the nekhbeurhoed of Chalk has been considerably damaged. The magazine was blown to piecM, large quantities of the wreck being picked up all aloug the ehorei, and also a considerable part of the oargo was ob. tained in this way by the number of persons who were attracted to the spot. Major Majeadte, the Govern- ment inspector, with M-r. Wood (the ewner). and Captain Jenkins, of the Thames CoQEecvaney, have visited the seene, and also inspected the wreckage which had beaa saved. The shore opposite the place whieh marks the wreek was visited by hundreds of people, although all that is now to be seen ia just a small portion of the magaaine and the Censervancy flag. There oannot be a dosbt that the larger portion of the rockets did not explode before the vessel sank, otherwise the damage and Iou of life must have been much greater.

Beatrix Harefield's spirits improved with the society df her friend. She was fond of Bella, and believed in Bella's faithfulness and afftection. Her reticence on the subject of Cyril Culverhouse had not arisen from any distrust of her friend, but from a reserve natural in a girl reared in solitude, and with a mind lofty snd ardent enough to make first love solemn and sacred as & religion uashared by the multitude. But whott Bella, with every evidence Of fondness, en- treated to be taken into her friend's confidence, Beatrix was not so stoieial as to refuse the Comfort of sympathy. I know you are hiding something from me, Beatrix," said Bella, as they were walking in the wintry garden on the first morning of her visiu There is a reason for your father's forbidding your visits to the Vicarage—and a reason for your pale cheeks and haggard eyes and sleep- less nights. Why are you afraid to trust me ?" I am not afraid to trust you. But there are thing: one does not care to talk about.* Does not one ? What arc those things, dear ? Do you mean that you don't care to talk about Mr. Culver- house t" Beatrix started md flushed crimson. How do you know—-did any one ten you 1" My dear Beatrix, I have eyes and ears, and they told me. I have seen you together. 1 have heard him speak of you." And you found out-" That you adore each other." It is true, Bella. I love him with all my heart and soul—and we are to be married as soon as I am of age. With your father's consent ?1f With or without it. That matters very little to me." "But if you offend him ho may leave his estate to a hospital," suggested Bella, who knew a great deal more about Mr. Harefield's property than Beatrix. He may do what he likes with it. Cyril will not marry me for my fortune." Of course not, but fortune is a very good thing—and Mr. Culverhouse, who is poor, must think so." This arrow glanced aside from the armour of Beatrix's faith. No one could have made her believe that her lover had any lurking greed of wealth. Then it is allsettled," said Bella, cheerfully. You Will be of age in two yeprs, and then you are to be mar- ried, whether Mr. Harefleld likes or not. I really Can't see why you should be unhappy." "I am not to see Cyril or hear from him for two years He is going to leave this place in the spring. He might be ill —dying—and I should know nothing till I took up the Titnds some morning and saw the advertisement of bis death." "Ho Is younj? and strong," replied Bella. "Tbère is aotbiug less likely than that he should die. I don't think you need make yourself unhappy in advance about that." Her cold hard tone wounded Beatrix, who had expected more sympathy. Don't let us talk about him, Bella, she said. But Bella was determined to talk about him till shai had found out all that there was for her to know. She assumed a more .sympathetic toae, aad Beatrix was led on to toll of Cyril's interview with her father, and of the letter which her lover wrote to her after that Interview. The clocks struck eleven a few mitiutes after this con- fidence was ended. < And now I must run to the Park and spend an hotir with poor Mrs. Piper,* said Bells. "I promised to go over every day to make myself useful. She is so wretched about het servants if ther6 is no one to look after them.- "How paniful ? have Servants that require to M looked after," said Beatrix, who was accustomed to a household that went as if by dock-Work, oohductecl by a butler and housekeeper who were trusted implicitly. M lb ilt rather dreadful/' rfeplied Bella. I think ] would sooner have our matd-of-all-wotk, with beceooty facc MKl red dhows, than poor Mrs. Piper's staff efamaft young women, who study uotbihg but their own Comfort, and come and go as if tlrt Pa A were a hotèt; for our poor Sarah is at leeeit faithful, and would no more think of leaving us than of going to the moon. Good-bye, darl- ing, I shall be back before lunch son." Beatrix vt ent back to her qtTtet Mom. and her books, Her mind had been much widened by her tatereoursd With Mr. Dulcimer and his library, and good books were a consolation and deHght to her. She had marked out a line of serious study which she fancied might make hec fitter to be Cyril's wife, and WM resolved not to be led astray by any flowers of literature. Hard reading was a little difficult sometimes, for her thoughts would waiulei) to the lover from whom cruel fate had parted her, but she persevered bravely, and astonished Miss Scales by tho sevsrity of her self-discipline. > Bella tripped briskly across the fields to Little Yafford Park, which was about half a mile from the vilhige, and only a Httla less distant from the Water House. It was Saturday morning; and she knrw that Mrs. Piper would be worried about the weekly bills, Which had an iimvary- itig tendency to be heavier than she expected to find them. Mrs. Pipef was propped up With pillows rn her easy chair by the fire, while all the youthful PipeTs-includ. ing a couple Of apple-cheeked ungainly boys from an ex- pensive boarding school—were making havoc of her band. somdy furnished morning room—a process eminently calculated to shorten the brief remnant of her days. Cobbett, if you aont leave that Malachite blotting book fllone directly, I'll ring for your Ta," exclaimed the invalid, as Bella catered. Mr. Plpcj. was a man who had read books in his time not many, perhaps, but he remembered them aU the better on that account. He was a man who boasted of thinking for himseK which meant that he asserted second-hand opinions so forcibly as to make them pass for new, and put down other people's arguments with the high hand of a self-conscious capitalist. He had christened bis two elder boys Cobbett and Eon. tham. The chubby little plague in pinafores was Home Tooke, tbe bony boy in knickerbockers was Brougham. The twogirls wereliving memorials of ElizabethFry and Mary Wolstencroft. His ambition was to see these children all educated up to the highest modern standard and able to occupy, an intellectual eminence from which they could look down upon everybody else. "Honey and dulneea are sometimes supposed to .go hand in hand," said Mr. Piper. I shall tike care tba.t my children may be able to exhibit the pleasing spectacle of capital allied with intelligence." Unhappily the young Pipers did not take to education quite so kindly as their father expected them to do. They had no thirst for the Pierian spring, and instead of drinking deeply, imbibed the sacred waters in reluctant sips, as if tbe fount had been .some, nauseous sulphur Spri'n<* offerod to them medicinally. Poor Bella had laboured almost hopelessly for the last year to drpg Brougham through that slough of despond, Dr. Some- body's first Latin grammar, and had toiled valourously in the vain effort to familiarise Horno Tooke with words of one syllable. Elizabeth Fry, whom Ler mother de- signed for greatness in tho musical world, had not yet mastered the mysteries of a common chord, cr learned tbe difference between a major and minor scale. Mary Wolstencroft was a sullen young person of eleven, who put her chubby fingers in her mouth at the least provo- cation, and stubbornly refusal to learn anything. Oth, my dal-r, I am very glad you have come," cried Mrs. Piper. These children are positively maddening. I like to have them with me, because it's a mother's duty, and I hope I shaJl do my duty to the last hour of my life. But they are very trying. Bentham has spilt the ink on the patchwork table-cover—and Mary has bsen pull- ing the Angola's tail most cruelly." The animal which Mrs. Piper insisted on calling the Angola, was a maguiftoollt white Angora cat, and really the handsomest living creature in the Piper household, indeed the Piper children seemed to have been invented as a foil to the grace and beauty of this feline favourite, to whom they wore infsrior in every attribute, except the gift of speech, a privilege they systematically abused. Bella examined the injured table-cover, and stroked the offended cat, ani then sat down by Mis. Piper's sofa. I daresay the children are tiresome, dear Mrs. Piper," she said, whereupon Benthamseoretly put out his tongue at her, but it mnst be a comfort to you to see them all in such good health." M Yes, my dear, it is. But I really think there never were euch boisterous children. rm sure when they were all down with the measles the house was like 'eaven The way they use the furniture is enough to provoke a saint. I sometimes wish Piper hadn't bought so many 'andsome ornaments for my bood war." And Mrs. Piper sighed wearily, inwardly lamenting the ten-roomed villa .in the broad high road outside Great YAfford—the best pailour which no one was al- lowed to enter—save on special occasions and under most restrictive conditions, and the everyday parlour in which thé shabby old farnitnre coold hardly be the worse for ill-n<«age. "And noW, Bella, we'll go to the books, said Mrs. Pipe* "they're something awful this Week. There's fine goings on downstairs now that I can't get about." The boys being home from school toust make a dif- ference." suggested Bella, "After allowing amply for the boys the bills are awful. Look at the baker's book, Bella. It will freeze your blood Bella looked and was not actually fro zee, though the amount was startling. There seemed to have been a Gradually ascending scale of expense from the begin- ning of Mrs. Piper's illness. That cJtrefhl housewife's not being able to get about had certainly relaxed the stringent rule of economy by which larder and kitchen hadbeen hitherto regulated. Tho tradesmen's books were gone through one by one, Mrs riper lamenting much, and doubtful of almost every item, wliy so much lard, and butter, why so many eggs? There were mysterious birds in the poulterer's hook fish that were not to be explained in the fishmon- ger's! When they came to the butcher's book the case became desperate, and the cook was summoned to explain matters. Cook WAS a plausible young woman in a smart cap,a id eheproved mmuoh for Mrs. Piper. She had an esplana- tionfot every pooad of metOt in the book, and her mis- tress dared not push enquiry to the verge of accusation, lest this smart young woman should take advantage of the impending season aud resign her situation then and therk leaving Mrs. Piper to get her Christmas dinner cooked as she might. Piper was particular about his dinner. It was the one sensual weakness of a great mind, and if hii meafa fell in any Way short of his re- quirements and expectations, his family circle suffered, The Simoon in the desert was not more sudden or de. vastating- than the whirlwinfl of Mr. Piper's wrath in the dining-room, when the fish was 89dden and sloppy, or the joint presented an interior stratum of rawness under an outer CIUt ofsoarcbedfieah. Piper is so particular," his Wife would remark pit- eously," and good ecoks are so hard to get." The fact of the case was that no good cook would endure Mrs. Piper's Watchfulness and suspicion, and thosescathintJ aeuencdations which Mr. Piper sent out by the footman when th« dishes were not to his liking. I might have b rm Mrs. Piper's petty prying Ways," remarked one of the -Park cpoks, after giving her mistress warning, "or I might have put up with Mr. Piper s tena- p«rs; but I couldn't stand bim and her together. That was too orach for christian flesh and blood. The cook was dismissed with inward greamngs on the pert of Mrs. Piper, and the money for the tradesmen was entrusted to Bella, who was to pay the bills on her w:ty through the village, *n 1 to make divers complaints and objections whir1 ra-ght haveobjected to deliver. J nf-vo1 .t pay my bills if I can help, said 1115 r: them too much power." gave another sigh to the days of old r Jd the Great Yafford Road had been kept in by two servants, and those two servants "ulpletely under their mistress's thumb; when ■.if had given her orders by word of mouth to >ies people, and not so much as a half-quartern loat .u come into the bouse Without her knowledge aud eouseut. The transition between the tight economise ci mediocte comfort, and the larger splendour of unlimited wealth had been a sore trial to Mrs. Piper. The change had come too late in her life. She could not reconcile herself to the expense of her grandeur, although her husband assured her that he was not spending half hia income. It may be so now, Piper," she replied, dubiously -lint when the children grow up you'll find yourself pending more money. They 11 eat more, and their ^oots will come dearer. I feel the difference every year." "When I find myself with less then fifty thousand surplus capital, I shall begin to grumble, Moggie," sard Mr. Piper, but I ain't going to make a poor mouth till then." Well, Piper, of course it's nice to live in a big place hko this, and to feel oneself looked up to, and that the best of everything is hardly good enough for us but s;ill there are times when I feel as if you and me had been sent into the world to keep a pack of extravagant servants.' "We can't help that, my dear," answered riper, cheerily. "DuJtcs and DucbesSes are the same." Ah, but then yon see Dukes, 11lt Duchesses are born to it. They've not been used to have their housekeeping in their own hands ns I have. I suppose it's when I'm a little lew that it preys upon me," mused Mrs. Piper, but I do fed it very try- ing sometimes When I think of the butter and lard that are ussd in this house it seems to me as if we must comc to the workhouse.o fortuno could 00 big enough to stand against it." "Don't be a fool, Moggie," retorted the manufacturer unmoved by this psthetic suggestion. c When I was ill business I've lost five thousand pounds in a morning by the turn of the market, and I've come homo and 6i.t my dinner and never said a word to you about it. What's your butter and lard against that ?" Oh, Piper, I wonder you ever lived through it." 111 wasn't a fool," answered Piper, and I know that where there's big gains there must bo big losses now aud again. A man that's afraid to lose a few odd thou- sands will never come out a millionaire." Ebeiiezet Piper had a high opinion of his children's governess. He had heard Bella grinding Latin verbs with Brougham, and admired her tact and patience. He liked to sec pretty faces about him, as he acknow- ledged with a noble candour, and Delia's face seeraod to him particularly agreeable. That piuk aud white prot- tiness was entirely to his taste. Something soft and fresh and peachy. The kind of woman who seemed created to acknowledge and submit to the superiority of man. Mrs. Piper had been a. verv fair sample of this pink and white order of beauty when tbe rising manufacturer married her, but time and ill-health and a natural fret- fulness had destroyed good looks which consisted chiefly of a fine complexion and a plump figure, and the Mrs, Piper of the present was far from lovely. Her Ebeneser was not the less devoted to her on that account. He bought her fine dresses, and every possible combination of ormolu and malachite, mother o' pearl and tortoise- shell for her boudoir and drawing*oom; Mid be told everybody that sho had bjeu a good wife to him, and a Ketty woman in her time, though nobody would be- >ve it to look at her now/' On her way from Mrø. Piper's boudoir to the ball Miss Scretchell encountered tbe master of the house coming out of the billiard roam where he hM been knocking the balls abont in ft thoughtful solitude, "How did you fipd the misstuPhe asked,afte* salut- ing Bella with a friendly nod. Pretty much the same as usual, Mr. Piper. Fm afraid there is no change for tbe better. She looks Worn and worried." She wilt worry herself when there ain't no call" said Piper. Mho's been bothering over those trades- noon's books this morning, l'll warrant, just as she used fifteen years ago when I allowed her five pounds a week for tho housekeeping. She never did. tike kindly to this place and a large es tablishmect. She's been wear- ing her life out about fiddle-faddle ever since wo came here—and yet site had se4 her heart on being a great lady. She s 4 good little woman, and I'm uncommonly fond of her, but she's narrow-minded. I ain't so blind but what I cn see that." She is all that is kind and good," said Bella, who had always a larce balance of affectlt>u at call for any- J)pdy who was likely to be useful to her. Tip she is," assented Elx-uezer, "and you're very fond ■& feir. ain't you ? She's fond of you too, thinks you are jiM of tne cleverest girls out. And so you are. You've had a hard job with Brougham's Latin. lIe don't take to learniug as I did. t was a self-taught man, Miss ScratchelL I bought« Latin grammar at a boookstall, when I was a facta#* hand, and ofised to sit up of a night puzzling over it till I taught myself as much Latin as many a chap knows that's cost his parents no end of money. My education never cost anybody anything ex- cept myself—and it cost me about a pound that and last, for books. I dont know many books, you know but them I do know 1 know thoroughly. The Vicar himself couldn't beat me at an argument when it comes to the subjects I'm up in. But I don't pretfcnd to know everything. I ain't a many sided man. I couldn't tell you what breed of Toni rats was ranked highest in Egypt, or where's the likeliest spot in the sky to look out for a new planet." I. E:retybOOyktwWB that you are very clever,"said Bella, safely. Well, I hope nobody has ever found me very stupid. But I want my cliildfen to know a deal more than me. They must be able to hold ihair own against all comers. I should like 'em to read off the monuments in Egypt as pat as I can read the newspaper. Like that French fel- low wo heard so much of when I was a young man, Shampoleou. I suppose he was a natural son of Bona- partey'a and thats what turned his mind to Egypt. Come and have a look at the conservatory, anu t&ko home some flowers for your Mar." "You are very kind, Air. Piper. But I'm rather in a hurry. I am not going home, I am on a visit at the Water House. The deuce you are," exlaimed Mr. Piper. There's not many visitors there I take it. You must be uncom- mon dull." "Other people might find it dull, perhaps, tat I am very happy there. I mi very fond of Beatrix HarefieUl." Ah She's a fins grown young woman, hut she ain't my style. Looks as if there was a spice of the devil in her. Come and have a look at the conservatory. You can take Miss Harefield some flowers." The conservatory opened out of the hall,to which they tlad descended by this time. Bella oould not refuse to jo in and and look at Mr. Piper's expensive collection of i sropical plants, with long Latin names. His conserva- bory was an object of interest to him in his present jonjparatively idle life. He knew all the La-tin names, md the habits of all the plants. He cut off some of the slossoms that were ou tbe wane, and presented them to Bella, talking about himself aud his wife and children all »be while. She had a hard struggle to get away, for Mr. P iper approved of her just as Dr. Johnson approved of Kitty Clive, as a nice little thing to sit beside one, or, in other words, a good listener. Bella go t back to the Water House in time for lun- uieon, a meal which tho two girls took together in a mug breakfast parlour on the ground floor. The dining- room was much too large for the possibility of cheerful. less. You have hardly eaten anything, Beatrix," remarked Bella, when they bad finished, and you bad only a cup )f tea at breakfast time. No wonder you are ill." I daresay if I could sleep better I should eat more mswered Beatrix, listlessly, but the nights are so long —when day comes I feel too worn out to be hungry It is all very bad and very foolish." safd Bella Why should you have these sleepless nights ? It can't 00 grief. You have nothing to grieve about. Your way lies clear before you. It is only a question of ,ime." "I suppose so," assented Beatrix,"but I can't see myself iappy in the future. I can't believe in it. I feel as if all □ay life was to be spent in this loveless home—my father holding himself aloof from me. Cyril parted from me How can I be jure that he will always love me-that I shall bo the same to him two years hence that i at* now. It is a long time." A long time to be parted without even the privTK*, of writing to each other, certainly," said Bella. bhere is no fear of any change in Mr. Culverhouse's fee £ ings. Think what a splendid match you are for a poor jurate. Why do you harp upon that string, Bella ?" cried Beatrix, angrily. "You know that if I marry Cyril I ihall forfeit my father's fortune. Cyril knows it too. It is 4 settled thing. I shall go to liim penniless." Oh, no, you won't, dear. Things will never go so far as that. Your father will get reconciled to the idea of your marrying Mr. Culverhouse. You must both 'ook forward to that." We nei ther of us look forward to it. There is no question of fortune between us. Never speak of such a thing again, Bella, unless you wish to wound me. And now I am going to drive you to'Great Yafford to do some shopping. We must buy some Christmas presents for your Mamma and brothers and sisters." Oh, Bsalrix, you are too good." Tuck, the pony, was one of the finest specimens of hIs race, a thick-necked stout-limbed animal, and a splendid goer. He would have dragged his mistress all round England, and never asked for a day's rest. He never was sick nor sorry, as the old coachman said approv. ingly, when summing up Tack's qualifications. On tha other hand be had a temper of his .own, and if he was offended he kicked. He would have destroyed a carriage once a week if he bad got into bad hands. But he under- stood Beatrix, and Beatrix understood him, and every- thing went smoothly between them. Great Yafford on a December afternoon was about M ugly a town as one need care to see, but it was busy and prosperous and seemed to take an houest pride in its ugliness, so stoutly did its Vestry and Corporation oppose any movement in the direction of beouty. There was one street of ample breadth and length, intersected "by a great many narrow streets. There was a grimy-looking canal, along which still grimier coal barges crept stealthily under the dull gray sky. There were great pilos.of building devoted to the purposes of commerce factories, warehouses, stores gas works, oil works, soap works, bono works all vyina with one another in hideousness, and in the production of obnoxious odours. Ugly as Great Yafford was, however, there was nothing Bella Scratbell enjoyed so much as a visit to Tower-gate —the broad street above-named—and a leisurdy contem. plation of the well furnished shop windows where the fashions—as that morning received from Paris—were to be seen at will eveti by the penniless .gazer. Banbury and Banbury's, the chief drapers, afforded Bella as much delight as a lover of pictures derives from a noble gal- lery. She would have seen the Venus cf Milo for th< first time with less excitement thsn she felt on behold- ing our latest nOveltips in Paris mantles,' or our latcre importation of silks, from the great Lyons houses.' ° Drive sloWly, please, Beatrix," said Bella, as they entered Tower-gate. I should like to have a look at Banburys' though it can't make any difference to me at 1 have bought my winter things." You can look as long as you like, Bella. I am going in to buy gome gloves and a feN little things. I'crhapt yoti would like to go in with me." I should very much, dear. They have always suck lovely things inside." Puck was given over to the care of the groom, whik the two young ladies went into Banburys'. It was a very busy time just now. 'Our latest novelties' were being scrutinised and pulled about by an eager throng of buyers, and tbe patience of the Banbury's young men was tried to the verga of martyrdom by ladies who hadnt quite made up their minds What they wanted,or whether they wanted anything at all. An ordinary individual would have had ample time to study the humours of Banburys' before being served, but Miss Harefield was would have had ample time to study tbe humours of Banburys' before being served, but Miss Harefield was known as an excellent customer, and the shop-walker was in a fever till he had found a young man to attend ¡ upsn her. He was a pale young man in whose face all tho color had run into pimples, and he had a wild and worried look, which was not unnatural in a youth whose mind been tortured by all kinds of fanciful objections to, c.nt criticisms upon Banburys' stock, from nine o'clock thsi morning, ana who had run to and fro ever the faco of Banburys' like a new Orestes driven by the Furic3, bj search of articles that never answered the requirements of his customers, preying always just a hllTe too dear oi too common, too thick or too thin, too dark cr too light too eilky or too woolly for the fair buyer. To this tor- mented youth Beatrix seemed an angel of light, so easilj was she pleased, so quickly did she decide upoy, her pur jhases. She bought a dozen pairs glomes, a pile of ribbons —laces and other trifles in the time that an elderly female in black a little lower down the counter dsvoted to too thrilling question of which particular piece out of a pile )f lavender printed stuff would betlt survive the ordeal of the wash tub. "What is your sister Clementinti's size ?" enquired Bea- trix, looking over a box of gloves. Oh, Beatrix, you mustn't buy any for her," whia- )ered Bella. Yes, I must. And you must tell mo her number." "Six and three-quarters." ? The same as yours. I'il take a doeen of the six and ;hree-quarters." A large honiton collar and cuffs, after the fas hi on of the seriod—a dark age in which rnfflings and fichus and all ;he varieties of modern decoraiivc art WHC unk11Own- were chosen fcr Miss Scales—neck ribbons for the wo- men servants—warm clothing for certain goodies in the MlJage-a noble parcel altogether. The pale and hag- jard youth felt that he need not quail before the awful ?ye of Banbury when the day's takings came to be sum- med up. After leaving Banburys", Miss Ilarefield drove to a ;henii.st"s, and get cut alone to make her purchases. "I couldn't get what I wanted there," she said, and then drove into one of the narrow streets and pulled up at another chemist's. She went in this way to no lees than six chcmi.sts' shops, entering each alone, and remaining for about five minutes in each. She bed a lot of little dainty scaled white parcels by the time she h;'d finished this round. Are you going to set up as a doctor ?" Bella asked, laughing. I have sot what I wanted at last," Dcatrix an8werecl evasively. What can you have in all those little parcels ?" Perfumery-in most of them. And now I am going to tho Repository to buy something for your small bro- thers and sisters." The Repository was a kind of bazaar in Tower-gate, where there was a large selection of useless articles at any price from sixpence to a guinea. Beatrix loaded herself with popular parlour games. Conversation Cards, HopI Geographical Games, and Kings of England— games which no one but a drivelling idiot would play more than once without being conscious of a tendency to softening of the brain—for the young S-rate hells. She bought a handsome work-basket for tho industrious lionse-mother. She bought scent bottles and tbimblo cases for the girls, knives and pocket books for the boys. Upon my word, Beatrix, you are too good," ex- claimed Bel!a, when she heard the destination of these jbjects. Do you suppose that money can give me any better pleasure than to make other people happy with it, if j can," answered Beatrix. It will never make me happy.: (To be continued.)
THE 8AUNDERSFOOT SCHOOL BOARD.
THE 8AUNDERSFOOT SCHOOL BOARD. A meeting of the Saundersfoot School Board was held at Pentlepoir new school, on Friday evening, when there were present Mr Roper (chairman), Mr D. P. Lewis, and lli Bancroft. The mortgage deed for the sum of £1.178 from the Public Loan Commissioners was signed by the chairman, and the seal of the board was ordered to be affixed. This was the only business of interest. A public meeting in connection with tho com- ing school board election took place the same night, when there was a large attendance. The Chairman of the school board presided, and, after making a few suitable opening remarks, called upon the rector of Armoth and Orunweare to address the meeting. Speaking for tbe board, he gave an account of its j stewardship^ The board had incurred liabilities from £4600 to £1,700, and for this they had two new schools with houses, and had likewise paid JEHK) for the school- room at Saundersfoot. He spoke of the kind feeling which had existed during tho tbreo years be- tween the Church and Dissenting friends. He had no desire to be re-elected, and would ask no one for a single vote. His advice was not to force a con- teat, as the liabilities woukl be quite heavy enough, without having to pay eleotion expenses. (Cheers.) Mr Bancroft was then called upon. He eaid he had heard that he Wall most unpopular with a Gertain class of far- mers, because it was supposed that he alone was tho cause of the school being built; he was but one of seven, and there must have been three more who thought the same as he* or the majority would have been against having the school. Besides, it was an order front the Department, and they were obliged to obey the law. He believed the school would be the greatest boon ever bestowed upon the district, and if ousted" at the coming election for what others meant as a reproach, he would esteem it an honour. He went on to show that the rate- payers had no cause to complain, for had not the school been built, they could not in fairness have expected that East Williams ton should contribute of their rates to support schools two miles distant from their part of their parish, and four miles from some parts, so tliat the loss of a school would aaean the loss of a parish. The school was now accessible to the two parishes, it having been built just on the border lino, and he had no doubt it would be filled. Speeches were made by the Rey Mr Calverly (Wesleyan minister), Mr David Johns (of Stepaside), and Mr D. P. Lewis, A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.
THE PERMISSIVE BILL.
THE PERMISSIVE BILL. A great meeting was held on Wednesday in Exeter Hall, London, iu favour of the Permissive Prohibitory Liquor Bill, The Hall was crowded. Canon Wilber- force occupied the cliair, and resolutions in favour of the measure were heartily carried.

GREAT FIRE AT BRADFORD, One of the largest fires which has ever happened in Braelford broke out on Monday night in an extensive block of warehouses, occupied bv Messrs Semon and Co., and other merchants and manufacturers. The buildings were completely gutted. The loss is estimated at £100,000.
- SHOCKING SUICIDE AT RAGLAN.
SHOCKING SUICIDE AT RAGLAN. A distressing occurrence happened in the house of Mr Prior, London House, Raglan on Friday. A widow lady named McAlister, frofc Hereford, was staying with the family on a visit. On Friday she breakfasted with Mr Prior's family, and afterwards went upstairs. Later in the day, as she did not come down, some one went up- stairs and found the bedroom door locked. No answer being given to several calls, a neighbour, the landlord of the Ship Hotel, burst open the door, and Mrs McAlister was then found lying on the bed quite dead, with her throat cut, and a carving knife in her hand.
THE CLEVELAND IRON TRADE.
THE CLEVELAND IRON TRADE. [SPECIAL REPORT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] MiDDLESBO ROUGH, Tuesday.—Business in pig iron has been slacker even than last week, though there are orders in the hands of merchants to distribute. These mer- chants, however, will not place, because they are expec- ting lower prices. No alteration has been made in quo- tations, which are 44s for No. 1, 40s Od for No. 3, and 49s for grey forge—all cash on the Monday following de- livery, or cash against delivery order. In some cases it has been possible to buy during the week for lower rates thaJi those natnedabove from some producers who cannot afford to stop, and are in want of cash. Finished iron sells badly. Ship plates are in most demand, and orders have been placed as low as jM 10s. Angles are £45¡¡ to jM 7s ôd. Bars are offered at JB6.
AGRICULTURE, THE WEATHER,…
AGRICULTURE, THE WEATHER, AND THE MARKETS. rFnOM MONDAY NIGHT'S "MASK LANK EXPRESS. "1 Reports of the growing wheat are generally speaking favourable, but an early harvest seems improbable, in spite of the improved weather and considering that the plant has come into ear 10 days later than the average time. Frcrn northern and midland counties it is reported that although the sunshine has done much to remote the development of the cereal crops, there are still some dis- tricts where the bad effects of the severe spring are to be plainly seen in the thinness and spiry character of the wheat plant. Advices as to the appearance of spring corn are contradictory, but on the whole the prospect of a satisfactory yield of barley and oats is more than dubious. It appears probable that the har- vest of 1877 will not prove so disppointing as that of 1876, as far as yield is concerned but it is very doubtful whether it will be equally satisfactory in point of quality. The quantity of English wheat remaining in farmers' hands is very trifling, and the firmer tone which has characterised the trade, has further strengthened holders' views. A fairly brisk demand has been experienced off stands at an improvement of one shilling per quarter 011 the week.

I visited the «ite this mcrnjng, which is close to the railway arches at Hurley, and found myself, as I do not doubt, on the site of an eld lake, through which the River Aire has passed in recent geological times, and on Ute margin of which it flows still, and scarps one shore of the old river lake. Into this lake the river cf those old times probably convoyed the great trunk which is now de- scribed, and it is also probable that extended digging would reveal many other remains of that old world, both vegetable and animal.
HUMAN SACRIFICES AT DAHOMEY.
HUMAN SACRIFICES AT DAHOMEY. The African mail steamer Volt" has arrived at Liver- pool, bringing news from Dahomey to the effect that trade wan at a standstill in that country, the King having taken no steps to encourage a revival of commerce after fee blockade. It was rumoured that 500 human being.- 1He to be eacrificed as a fetish offering in consequence of he payment of the indemnity to the British Government. The King of Gaboon, the eldest native Prince on the African coast, died about the beginning cf May, at the advanced age of one hundred J ears. The deceased chief, who was at one time as g1"t:at and as bloodthirsty in bis observation of "bthh saorifices" as the King of Dalio mey, on one occasion had no less than 250 native males beheaded in his presence, and 1C0 pregnant women disem- bowelled at the same time. He is succeeded by his eldest son, Andaunte, who at once broke up his father's harem, and cashiered the women to the number of 120, liberated all the deceased King's slaves, and abolished the sacrifice of human beings at religious rites. He has also informod the traders on the Gaboon river that he will take iniine- dia"a steps to facilitate and open up the trade of the river and the roads leading to the interior. The new King was for some time the oompanion of M. Paul uu Chailln during that enterprising traveller's explorations on the Gaboon in hia search after gorillas.
. WE SOHooL FOR KINDNESS,…
WE SOHooL FOR KINDNESS, Mr. Hermann Vewn writes te the 7im~s:—" It is in no spirit of conventional thanks that I wish to call more than a passing attention to the acts of kindness I received from my brothers and sisters in art on the oicasion of my benefit. Had we been brothers and sisters in blood as well they oould not have worked with a heartier goodwill to assist me. Mr. John Clayton, Mr. Arthur Cecil, and Mr. H. B. Conway, with a professional self-sacrifice with which actors are not sufficiently credited, gladly player! the subordinate parts of the First Lord, William, and Jacqnes de Bois, while of the maay offers of assistance of which I could not avail myself, I will onlymeation that of Mr. Phelps, who would have played Adam for me had he known of it m time. Late on Tuesday night came the news of Mrs. Kendal's illness. The public cannot realise how ill such an acUess must be before the gives in. Doctors will tell yon of actors and actreeses who have insisted on going through their work after having been Wan; ed that it wal at the risk of their lives, and nothing but absolute iro. possibility could have prevented Mrs. Kendal from plajing. But it was late, and Rosalinds are not to be found under every hedge. Alias Carlisle had retired to test at 11.. At 1 o'clock on Wednesday morning, my knock startled the family out cf their sleep." The dilemma explained, Mts: Carlisle immediately offered to do her beet with the part. She had studied it, but had never played it. At eleven o'clock in the moruing I went out 'gunning' for a 'Celia,' and found one in Miss Blanche Henri,who had played the part of ten, and from whom I ex- perienced the same kindness that I had by this time got pretty well used to. After hastily running through the scenes of Rosalind at the theatre the performance began, and Miss Carlisle played Rosalind, one of the longest and roost difficult parts on the stage, for the first time in her life, without so mucl as a rehearsal, in such a way as to please an audience who guessed little, and amaze old actors who knew what she bad to contend against. As a sample of pluck this would be hard to match. I must add that Mrs. Kendal did all she could for me by placing her costumes at Miss Carlisle's disposal. After this very inadequate acknowledgment oi the many favours bestowed npon me, it is no exaggeration to say that I have received f-he most grateful compliment that can be paid an actor
MR. GLADSTONE ON A VOTE OF…
MR. GLADSTONE ON A VOTE OF CREDIT. "Writing in acknowledgment of an address from the Baptist Churches of Worcestershire, Mr. Gladstone says — I have to acknowledge the address which the Baptist Churches of Worcestershire have done me the honour to present, and which expresses approval of the policy with respect to the Eastern Question recommended b, me in the House of Comnoons, together with obliging referencel" to other matters on "vBiich I need not at present enter. It has not been in my power to acknowledge severally the many communications of this kind which especially during the last two months, I have received from all parts ot the country; but 1 have fiom time to time, while apologising for this incapaoity, given general ex- pression to my thanks. We have, however, arrived at a point in the progress of the question at whieh it may be not without utility if, in reply to ycur ad dreps, I take the opportunity of observing that, notwith- standing the more or less satisfactory declarations of certain Ministers, raaoh vigilance is still requisite on the part of the people at large. For ten days or a fortnight pMt the political atmosphere of London has swarmed with rumours that the Government were about to apply to Parliament for a vote of two, or, according to some of three or even five, millions of money, with a view to'in- creased military preparations. I am far from asserting the truth of theøe reports, which I trust may prove to be unfounded but their character as a whole has been such that if they need not be actually believed, they cannot safely be disregarded and dismissed from view. It would be altogether premature in tho present defec- tive state of oftr knowledge to give an opinion absolutely that such a vote cannot in any form be admissible. But there are two points in connection with the rumours on which 1 think it necessary to remark, apart from a third serious question, whether the ordinary revenue is in a condition to bear a large additional charge j and if not, then by what new taxes such an additional charge is to be met ? The first point is this: It has been stated that a precedent for snch a demand all I have described was fur- nished by the late administration, whieh, in 1870 some weeks after the Franco-German War had begun,asked for a vote of two millions. Should the proposal be made I can shew in derail that in no material point do the caaea corre- spond. In the meantime I may indicate briefly the following heads :-1. It is forgotten that the Government have al- ready in 1877 asked from Parliament for military and naval purposes £ 24,700,000. In 1870 we had asked £ 20.500,000 5 adding to this sum the two millions we had £ 22,500,000, or less by £ 2,200,000 than the charge'for this year already placed upon the ordinary estimates. 2. It is forgotten that our proposal was not made upon the outbreak of the war, nor upon miy alleged ncces- sity for defending British interests but after the dis- closure of what was known as the Benedetti draught of a treaty for the absorption of Belgium,and after her Majesty had,m consequenoe,entered. into new treaties with each bel- ligerent, bmdmg the parties respectively too resist the other belligerent by force in defence of the independence of that oountry. It would have been unwise, for obvious reasons, at the time to connect the vote too explicitly with such a contingency. My own language iu propoaiu* it was reserved and general; but it waa.I conceive,thoroughly un- derstood by the country that the occasion of the vote of credit was to be found in the Belgian Treaties. 3. It is for- gotten that while the purpose of the vote was thus definite and known, the entire country was agreed upon that pur- pose, and was also agreed, even to a man, upon the prose- cution of a thorough pacific policy. But at tha present time an active section, with many powerful in fluences at its command, labours energetically to promote intervention in the war, for purooses con demned, as I believe, by the mass, and, as all must admir, by a large part of the nation. This brief statement uny suffice to shew tha^if a vote of money is to be proposed, it must find its justification otherwise than in the vote of 1870. Secondly, 1 neither assume that such a vote is im- pending nor do I undertake to anticipate its character, or pronounce upon its merits. But we have before us the fact that an influential portion of Parliament, of the Me- tropolitan Press, and of its readers, leans to measures for the prosecution, after one fashion or another, uf what has been known among us for the last twelvemonth as a Turkish policy. Now, it cannot be too clearly under- stood that any proposal or attempt, under the piea of suppose I British interests," or under any othtr plea, to give c-ff«et to such a pulicy by the proposal of an increased vote for armaments will meet witj resistance and with such a resistance, from the energetic and delibe- rate convictions which 1 believe to be those of the people, as ought to form the subject of serious consideration hy her Majesty's Government, before they arrive at any de- cision which will have the effect of provoking it. It is, indeed, not easy to conceive a form in which such a vote can be asked at the present juncture, without its en- tailing the immense evil of reviving at the Ottoman Porte the expect.tionB,80 much lOitered twelve months ago by ai: unhappy policy.that Kngiand wou' dbe forced by her anxiety for" British interests'' at one period or another of the wai to intervene by arms on behalf of Turkey. The majority, as I believe, of the natiou have warmly desired that Wc should ourselves have undertaken, aud should have en. couraged the other Powers to undertake, a great and safe collective work, to put an end to intolerable shame and oppression, and to keep our hold upon the means of directing towards their proper aim all measures which might be professedly addressed to the pacification of the East. Through influences which have too largely prevailed in deciding the action of the Go- vernment, thisdenue Ins been entirely baffled. We have virtually repudiated a great and noble duty. so far as practical measures for its execution are concerned. But it is a long stride, indoed, beyond this in the direotion of mischief if we are, either avowedly or underhand, to b6 n.aletheinatrumenta of giving an active countenance or support to a great iniquity, now struggling to retain it.s licsneed powers of blight and desolation. And if I know anything of the convictions and feelings of the natiou, into snob a course M this it will not on any terms, how- fyer plausible, consent to be eitha driven or cajoled,
