"Woll, blest my soul, Marion; of what a romantic turn of mind you arc to be sure 1” cried old UncIc James, with a humorous twinkle in his eye. “I think John is a good strong name; in fact one of the best names that can be found; and as for John Puttoo’a looku, well, he it a quiet, unpretending yuuiig luun "Oh, 1 know I ahall not like liin.

"If you do not like John Dutton there will bo no barm dune. I Itnow his name is not so ranciful as Spence Arnott's, neither has he so large a share of his santanic majesty in his composition as that young geiitleiiian; but wbat’a the use of talk ing? You have a woman’s idea, Marion. A man to make any headway with yoar sex mutt have a sprinkling of satao ruouing pretty thickly through bis composition.” 'Uncle, I think it is a sbama for you to speak disparagingly of Spence Arnult,” cried Marian, with au indignant toss of her head. “Doo’t flare up so, child; I didu’t mean to speak ill of Spence, lie is a careless, fun-lnvlng young man; that's all that can be said against him ; but my dear, I will say that bo isn’t to be com. pared to John Dutton, as you may loam some day." "I shall never think any man better than Spenca Aniott. l^verybody has heir likes and dislikes, unuie. 1 like Spence— "Aod you have made up your mind to dislike Jobo DvUun?"

That is John Dutton.” 0, tbe young gentleman I've beard your uncle speak so often about, lie interests me more than I thought he would, but I—" detest him for all that, Marian was going to aay, but Spence in terrupted her with: “I should lay he did interest you I You seem to be on very frleudly terms for such a short acquaintance" said Spence, a slight frawn showing itself od bia fair, baud, some face. Marion’s heart bounded with delight. Here was a chance to tnrmeut Spence as ha bad toroiented her all the week, and sbe said: "Nut on any more friendly terms than what you’ve been with Olara Mawbray, for the past week or two.*’ Spencer looked down at the pretty, piquant face. He often confessed to himself that be did not like to tease Marion t As Uncle James said, he w^s careless, fun-loving: be said and did a gre^t many things he was sorry for; but in regard to this last accusation of Mariun’a he was innoccnt. If he bad ibowtt any unusual attention to Clara Mawbray. It was unintentional on bis part. Whether it was that bo was in nocent of Marion's charge, or that her appearance of undue friendliness to this favorite of Uucle J«mes’ annoyed Spence, we cannot say. Bat be was annoyed more thao ha would care to caofess, fur under his careless ex terior lay vast depth of love for Marion. '‘You have no grounds for making thgt assertion, Marion," said Spence with more indignatioR in hit voice than be bad evtr used to Marion. Marion tossed her head, though she had good ground for her assertions, and stood upon them so (irmly, that Spence left her in a fit of pique. )tarioD watched his tall, manly form disappear down the road. What a kingly fellow Spence was I Never be. fore did sbe taka notice of tbe width of his shoulders, or tbe manner in which lie csrrlsd his head, so thickly covered with tawny, curling locks. How foolish she was to quarrel with Spence; and Marioi/s heart rosa In her throat, and her eyes filled with tears. Was aver a hero in a novel handaiiroer than he—and to quar rel with him for that plain, matter-of-fact John Dutton. Perhap* it was John Dalton’s tall, lank, missbapea form appearing upon tba UwB, that revealed Spence's floe propottions so vividly to Marlon.->- Surely ooe could never make a hero out of him t Aod think that aha bad quar' reled iritb Spence on bis acoouot. She would Mvtr speak to tha bomHi nsati ■gatoi and it wtfe net •noagli for Nsrioa to this, but sbe songht Uncle James, and tuld it to him with a stamp of her foot and a toss of her head, and Uncle James said t “My dear yon are altogether loo romsDtlc,”—which was the truth for tba old gentleman. Marion tried her best to dislike John Dutton, but she was interested in him In spit* of herself. There wss something in tbe mau's nature that sbe could not fathom; perhaps it was this that in- tereated her so much. He looked at her au gravely ; indeed, he even went ao far as to shake his head at hur wilful cnnducl, and with that shnke of his head, John Dutton put his font in it. Marinn had her own wav all her life, and she would let .fohn Dutton see she would not be dictated to by him. lie was throwing a spell over her that was every day becoming harder to resist. Indeed, she was miserable ever since he came to her home—miserable fur Spence Arnutt, whom she lived? did nut like John Dutto'i, and was growing colder tnwnrds him every day. “[ will nut have him regard me as the chief of sinners. I will not all him to C'lnie between me and Spuncel" cried Marion. “I will be as wickcd as 1 piissily can before himand, unthiiik- ingly, .Marion threw her little pet dug, which she had been fun J ling, fVom her lap as she rosa from the eat on the purch, Tha dog struck the stone fl lor in a manner that made him howl piteously fur a minute, and in that moment John Dutton nppeAred and shook his head gravely at Marion, lie spoke not a word, but Marion understood him, and said: “It’s only a dog, aod any way it’s mine, and I shall do what I please with him.” ''Only a dog.

Just at that moment she felt like telling him that she did not mean to do that cowardly act, bat as just as she was about to speak Spence Arnott, who had been in the house unknown to her. step ped out upon the porch. The tears were still in Marian's eye’s as a matter of coarse, she loooked con fused. "Ah, 1 beg pardon for intruding,” sail! Spence, about to step hack. ■ Yoa are not intruding, Mr, Arnott; I believe you have a right here 1” said John Dutton, quietly, and turning away he entered tbe house, ’'Marion, what does this mean?” cried Spence, an angry flunli sprending to the roots of his hair, aa be perceived Mariun’a agitation. “0 Spence I” cried tbe impetuous girl unible to control tbe tears which were fait ruiling down her checks; “don’t be angry, he is so g‘>od I” “So good I 1 hate him, there?” and Spence Aruott strode angrily away. Marun stood looking after Spence. She was the picture of grief and despair, and John Dutton’s heart was filled with sorrow as be watched her from within the window. He cam* to this house to meet bis fate—a fate of which be now little dreamed. He had learned to love tbe handsome, wilful girl standing out there ou the porch, but that look on her face now, as she gazed after Spence Arnott, told him, beyond doubt, where her heart was. Ha had nothing to hope for. That night John Duttoa was awakened from his sleep by some great caufuaiun in the house. Through his window he saw that the sky was in a blaze. There was a big Are somewhere in the neigh borhood, and in an instant be was up and dressed. He went down stairs, and tbe first one ha met was Marion, in bon net and cloak, crying and wringing bar bauds. Oh, Mr. Dutton, will you take me there? The Arnott mansioa is in flames —caught fire while tbe inmates were all sleeping. I must fiud out whether every one has escaped.” John Dutton drew the little hand within his arm, aod hurried out into tbe night air. Ilis heart beat painfully with the little hand upon his arm, but be spoke not a word until they reached tbe burning building. Have all the inmates escaped from the building?” be asked a bystabdcr. "No; they are offering a large reward to any one who will venture in and save young Spence Arnott; bat it is as much as a man man’s life is worth——” ' Spence in the building yet?” shrieked Marion. * 0h, God, mercy I We parted in anger to.day. Ob, Mr. Datton, I shall die, if I cannot speak to Spence once more I Qae moment John Dutton looked down on the white, appealing face. He caught her bands with a viceJike grip. ''Marion, I will save hiai, or perish in tba attempt? Tbe reward I ask is that you will think of me sometlBes.” He tore himself away from Marion, and entered the building, enveloped la floines. "I heard you tell Marion to.day how you bated me, but I forgive you, and have come to save you, because sba loves you. Be kind to her alsrays.” Spence Arnott was saved, but tbe voice that wbispared tb* above io his ear was lost formr oiid tb* burning ^anes. “Marion, he lost bis Ilf* saving mine, for yo*r sake. My darllof, 1st us ever cherish Ihe name John Dutton,” said Spence Aruott, reverently, as be gatb. ered Marion to his heart. Plain John Dutton I Marion thought that name immortalised, and why not? “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down bis life fur his friend.” THE KINO am"travelers. Three travelers, who had bean found asleep in th* royal park, where once brought before King ,Tollimon. They said they were story-tellers, who earned their living by relating tales and le gends. "If that be so,” said the king, ' and if you can tell stories worth hearing, you are indeed welcome. The court story teller has just bean banished for telling the same story twice. It would bo a ri|>ht royal idea to have three story tellers instead of one.” 8i) the ihroe travelers, after having been refreshed with food and drink, were bidden to seat themselves at the august foot of King JoHiinoii. Presently one of them told the tale of the wise cat. A certain cat set out to seek his for tune, and traveled through the whole world.. At last ho camo to a country • here a cat hud never been before The inhabitants were at first frightened by the strange monster^ but having ob served puss killing the mice with which the country was overrun, they pluukud up couraj>e, and npproaching him, re* quested that he should follow them be fore the king. Puss complied willingly enough, and the end of the matter was that he was installed rat catcher to the king, and a lirge salary bestowed upon him. The faithfulness with which puss discharged his duties raised him high in the royal regard, and a circumstancc soon occurred which advanced him still further. Tbe king took his nnp by an open window, and had a plate of chcr- ries placed beside him that ho might eat them when he awoke. A crow from thg neighboring forest constantly stole the fruit, nor had all the cfTirti of the king's servant succeeded in destroyio;; the bird. The cut, however, conucalcd himself in the winditv-haiigings, and pounced upon the unlucky maruudur, and broke his neck. The kiug was full of gratitude, and ordered that puss's salary be increased. Soon after a bear came and ravaged the king’s flock, ilis majesty commanded puss ta kill him. “I cau only do what I am able,” pleaded the cat; but the king insisted. While puss was coming, bruin ntlucked the store of a swarm of bees, and was stung to death. “You have done as I knew you would, my dear cat,” said the king, and would listen to no e.xplanations. The cat received the Order of tbe itoyal Shoe.string. Nrxt an elephant came and ravished the crops. The king sent the cat to at tack him. “Alas I I can only do what I am able,” again pleaded the cat, but there was no moving the kin!>. While the cat was coming, the elephant fell into a pit and was killed. "Vou have done as I knew you would,” said the king once more ; and the cat received the Order of the H.>yal I'enknife, and the care of tha lloyal Shoe-brush. great army marched to subdue the kingdom. The King gave himself no uneasiness. "Have we not the cat here?” he asked. ‘'My dear, go and put those troublesome fellows to flight.” “.\las I your majesty,” said the un. fortunate cat, "I can but do as I am able, and luck will turn at la^tbut the king was stubborn as ever. And while the cat was coming, a band of the encmv fell upon him and destroyed him; and they overthrew all the kingdom. The king was taken prisoner and compelled to feed cats all his life. “That ungrate ful cut I” he ountinually exclamod.—St. Nicholas. THACKERAY ON THE CLERGY. Mr. Thackeray writes as follows; "And I knuw this, that if there are some clerics who do wrong, there are straightway a thousand newspapers to haul up these unfortunates, and cry fie upon them, fie upon them 1 while, though the press is always ready to yell and bellow excommunication against these stray deiinqoeiit parsons, it'somehuw takes very little count of the good ones •^of tb* tens of thousands of honest men who lead Ohristian lives, who give to the poor generously who deny them, selves rigidly, and live and die in their duty, without ever a newspaper para graph io their favor.

A WALRU8 HUNT. Captain Markham thus apeaks of a walrus hunt in the “Great Froiou Sea- Three of these larga animals wer* observed oa a piece of ice, their Urg**, ungainly forms stretched out, luzily en joying their siesta. Volunteers were not wanting for the purposo of attempt ing their cipturn; but, as an indiscrimi nate attack Wiinid only lead to failure, it was determined to dispitcit one of the whale-bnats, specially fitted with a har poon gun and all the necessary imple ments niid gear for sccorii'g these animals, in order to effect a more nrgaiiized and skilful manner the object we had in view. Great diflioulty was ex perienced in approaching our prey, as the boat had to bu hauled over loose fragments ol ice, and pushed through a sludgy consiKtPiicy of soft ice snow and water, in which Ihe oitis woro useless; so that it was feared the unavoidable noise woiiM disturb and frichten them atvay. At lenglh, after inu h trouble and no liitle exertion, we succeeded in getting within about eight yards, so sound was their repose, without exciting thu least suspition in their minds that danger was lurking in their vicinity. At that distance, however, they evinced a degree of restlessness, by lifting their sliiigijy heads and uttering jerky spas modic snorts, that showed us only too plainly n retreat was meditated. Select ing the largest of the three of his viutims our harpoooer carefully laid his guu. A moment of brcathlu>s suspense followed, to bo relieved by tho report of n gun, a roar of pain and rage, and the disappearance io the water of tha three walruses, while the piece bf ice. on which a moment before they had been reposing, was covered with blood, convinciog us that our shaft had tikeu efTuct. If any farther proof was required in corrobo. ration of this fact, a tugging at tlie line and tho sudden moving of the boat was sullicient. Lances und rifles were quickly seized; for these animals, when ounded and maddened by pain, are fugly und dangerous customers, and have frc(|uently been known to rip the pUoks out of a boat with their formida ble tusks, and thus seriously endanger the lives of tlie crew. We had not lung to wait; a disturbance in iho water close alongside denoted that our victim was coming to the surface. .Vii instant after, his bearded face, with every expression of infuriated rage and demoniacal hate, his fiery eyes glaring with vengeance, appeared, and was immediately saluted with two or three rifie bullets. This warm reception served only to incense and irritate him, and he tried bard to wreak his vengeanceain the bout; but his enemies were too powerful, and with the united aid of bullets ai'd lance thrusts, the unwieldy breast was forced to succumb to thu superior power uf bia human antagonists. Towing the great carcass hack to the ship, it was hauled on the floe and quickly flinched. The blubber and fli^sh were packed in bar rels, making a very welcome addition lo the small amount of food that wo bad on board fur our dogs.” WHY WOME^CAN’TlfOTE. It's no wonder women can’t vote. It’s no wonder men fear to trust the ballot in the hands uf people who can- nut manage their own affairs. No person shnuld be allowed to vote who cannot dress without the assistance of a paper of pins.
