He was silent; he hnd o.-iue with n

"God bless yon,  darling,"  ho  said,
j kissing her now pale cheeks, which again
became crimsou-dyed.    "You shall not

As twilight began te deepen into night
Philip arose, and, giving Mabel his arm
they walked along  (ho  winding river.
Tho night birds   sang softly,   nnd the
Btars began to glimmer one l.y one in
their azure setting.   Their words were
few, but the heart of each was filled with
love for tlie other.   At last they parted
in silence oft tho  Woks  of tU«   lonely
river.   Her cheeks wero wet with the
tears that wero beyond her control, Xiit-
tle thought they of tho possible severing
of ft faith, the blighting of a love that
had grown with their  growth,  until it
> had now ripened into perfection.

! Philip went to the city, and Mabel de-
j voted herself with her usual patience to

l from Philip, and was contented and
I happy.

bitterly, though his heart was fidl of

is all love the while. Pride conceals

A\ hen he again saw her sho wns still

beautiful even \llerc. AVheu she felt her

mother, saying:
" It may be a foolish request, mamma

iiigniue-or ten regiments. The adjoining valley and hills are ful) of professional robbers. The objects whieh they
h ve to steal are arms, money, nnd
, horses. In securing tlitM- they show
skill and daring. A writer in t'liain-
' 1,'r'fi JiMi-iial h'Ws several anecdotes of
these thieves, whieh exhibit their skill
in horse stealing:
The most popular plan of horse stealing requires nt 1> ast three men to carry
it out comfortably and sueccE-sfully. One
of them quietly steals his wny iuto the
stable, and lays hold of acurtl which has
been pushed through ono of the air-
h.ile!, in the wall by ono of his friends
outside.
The two use the string ns a saw. while
■ the third pours upon ita plentiful supply
of water. The cord silently nnd speedily
, cuts its way down the mud wall.
In a wonderfully short time the three
craftsmen manage to saw around a per-
tiuii of the wall, which, when pushed
outwards, leaves a space sufileieut to
allow a horse to pass out
Thisdonc, the remaining work presents
no difficulty. The ropes which bind thc
horse arc cut, and in a short time lie is
cantering to the hills, with generally two
and sometimes his tlirca new masters on
his back,
A somewhat bold and impudent exploit in the horse-stealing line was tho
amusement and the talk of the station
for some days. Tho cantonment is literally a camp.
At sundown a chain 8t sentries communicating with ench other is posted
right aronnd it. This demands a great
number of men, and nil regiments, cav-

Tha celebrated painter Hogarth was
onco employed to paint the portrait of a
nobleman not remarkable for personal
beauty. The artist executed it with liis

The peer, disgusted at the exact counterpart of himself did not feel disposed to
pay for tho picture. After some time

Some support to the theory that not

The sources of petroleum are found in
almost every part of the globe, aud the
use of the article would seem well nigh coeval with civilization. There is a spring
iu one of the Ionian islands, whieh has
yielded petroleum more than '2,000 years,
i'he city of Genoa was formerly lighted
by oil from tho wells of Armenia, on the
banks of the Znro. In Persia, also, near
thc Caspian Sea, at Baku, numerous
springs of petroleum have been known
from the earliest time; and those ol
Rangoon, on the, Irawaddy, are said to
have yielded, before tho general introduction of petroleum, some 400,000 hogsheads of oil a year.

Manitoba Lake.
The Manitoba lake, wliich haa given
name to the province formed ovit of the
Red river region, is called after a small
island, whence, in thc stillness of the
night, issue strangely-sweet, mysterious
sounds. The Ojibway Indians whh
dwell in that neighborhood believo the
island to be the iiome of Manitoba, the
speaking God, and will not land on or
approach it for any consideration, thinking they would desecrate or profane it,
and that they would meet with some ter-
aible fate tor their impiety. The sound
is caused, it has been ascertained, by the
beating of tho waves on the large pebbles along the shore. These, with fragments of fine-grained, compact limestone
from the cliffs above, are rubbed together by the action of the water, and give
out a tone liko that of distant chnrch
bells. This natural music is heard when
the wind blows from the north, and, ns
it subsides, low, plaintive notes, resembling voices of" an invisible choir, are
heard. It has been compared to the
chant Of the nuns at the Trinita do Monti
in Rome, with which all travelers are
familiar. The effect is impressive.
Tourists have been awakened at night
in the vicinity, under the impression
that chimes of bells were ringing afar
off, and that their tones were rippling
over the lake. The mystic bells of
Manitoba have acquired such a reputo^
tion that travelers are not satisfied until
they are heard, and often spend days
there waiting for tlio blowing of the
north wind, Tho Ojibways have a number of poetie legends about their speaking God, whom they profoundly revere,
A Compromise.
A man was once asked how he and hia
wif© got along with so little friction in
the family machinery. '' Well," said ho,
"when we first married we both wanted
our own war. I wanted to sleep ou
linen sheets, my wito preferred cotton,
and wo couldn't agree. Finally we
talked tho matter over, aud enme to the
conclusion that it was unchristian to live
in constant bickering; so -we compro-
mised on linen, ond have got along all
fight ever irinco,"
