Her dark-blue riding habit showed her suple form to perfection her soft brown hair was ruffled by the wind, and her cheeks with health and vigor, and she was a great contrast to her pale home keeping sister. And as the days passed ,Guy was compelled to change his fmt opinions of the sisters. 'Winifreds health, spirits and temper seemed to be per fect; Marcia, on the other hand, some times forgot her would-be gentleness and showed a snappish petulance that amazed Guy. 'What a. helpful, cheery woman she would be?'-'meditated Guy, but not of Marcia. 'No headaches, uo sulks, no sharp speeches!

Although he -was industrious and talented, clients were few and far be tweenwere almost unknown to the I deserving young lawyer until he did ; not so sorely need them. One-week such is the perversity of fate-rafter he got news that an uncle had died ; and left hi in J i is sole heir, and,, found ; that he was sure of an ineome of near ' two thousand a year, then Lhe world 'suddenly realiztv.1 that young Averill was a very promising lawyer! Having a good income and pros- his dreams dav and night. At last he got to this puss: 'Will such a girl ever consent to fettle down to domestic life? Will she not laugh at me if I dare to speak of love?' . One day Helen and Gassius went to a nighboing town 0:1 business, and j Marcia; Winifred and Guy went rov.v ting on the river; a narrow, deep and rapid Stream. Just after the girls had 1 ir i .11. landed Jlarcia spied an empty nasket who do you suppose has prepared your j tea and toast, your beef-tea and toast, your blanc mange and jelly, your dropped eggs, your little dainties of all sorts, these three weeks past?' 'Why, the cook of course!' 'By no means. Winifred has her self prepared every mouthful she has brought you; she makes every loaf of bread and cake, every pudding and pie, that is eaten in this house.' 'You amaze me!' 'Why' Because sh don't make a show of her work? Because she en joys outdoor life after attending to her domestic duties? Shew not only a good rider and all that, but she is thoroughly and practically domestic Guy didn't say any more then, but he did considerable thinking. A week later he said to Winifred: 'I have never thanked you for sav ing my, life, Miss Tremajn ' 'Please say no morel' she cried, hastily. 'What else could I have done?' 'And I am not going to thank you until I know whether my rescued life is to be one of happiness or misery Winifred. I love, you very dearly! Can' you love me a little? Can you consent to be my wife? If not, if you give me no love, I shall blame you for not letting me drowu that day. Just one word, darling!' 'I I I don't !ike to be blamed. And Guy didn't blame her. Bassius- Borclay always calls his wife's brother-in law 'Winifred's flot sam.' aud says: 'Helpn, your sister's flofsam really is a little too good to have been left as food for the fishes.' Congressional Manners. It used often to be a reproach by the English and other foreigners, that the manners displayed in the Amer ican Congress were rude, noisy, and sometimes disgraceful; and there was a time when this reproach was not a very unjust one. Not twenty-five years ago, it was not an altogether unheard-of event for pistols to be drawn, not only in the National House of Representa tives, but in the more sedate and dig nified Senate itself. Amid the violence of the party war fare just before the outbreak of the civil war, many scenes occurred in Phil's Conniulrum. Phil. Barton wis one of the beat fellows of th club, open henrled, and frank; free and generuu, and he could be really interesting, too. lie had a goodly amount of such educa lion as could be gained from book and schools, and had traveled. At all events, that he furnished amuse ment in round measure none could deny. The one quality of Phil's men tal structure that puziled us, was his entire lack of perception. that is: his obtuseness in the .face of pith aud point in joking. 4 A thing that had once been explained to him he could Zfu?ey began their lively paper.

When he first saw Marcia he was a little disappointed; her picture', flatter ed her; but he soon forgot that in con- them. Ou one occasiou. during a de bate in the House, a sharp altercation took place between two members from Illinois. . One of them had bitterly attacked Stepheu A. Douglas, then a great party leader; and the other, a devoted friend of Douglas, had sav agely retorted, saying as he closed, that the other had 'sneaked like a cur from the proof of his charges.'. The first member made a rush for his antagonist; but before he had reached him, the champion of Doug las had snatched up his overcoat, and had drawn a pistol from its pocket, winch he pointed directly at ins ap 01 uiuurs jusi as a Rumanian cop work given him to do from a given model.

At another time, the venerable Thaddeus Stevens was making a very bitter speech, which so stung his po litical opponents that twenty or thir ty rushed towards him, some of them grasping weapons in their pockeis, while Steven's friends rallied around him for his defence and protection. At that moment, the two parties in the House seemed on the very point of a general personal conflict. Such scenes, happily, never occur in these more orderly and civilized days.

It is not too much to say, indeed, that the manners of our Congress of 'to day compare very favorably with those of the great deliberative bodies of the old world. In the Euglish House of Commons, members still wear their hats while the body is in session; au unpopular speaker's voice is still coughed, down, aud drowned amid unseemly cat-calls and the rude scraping of feet; and even Prime Min isters, when they say unpleasant things, are interrupted and disturbed by loud vocal disapproval.

He iu 1873 owned some hundreds of acres of common land upon the line of the uncompleted C. C. Railroad.'
