OUR SHORT STORY. A BAD QUARTER OF AN HOUR. The bad quarter of an hour-as I have called this adventure of mine, and I really don't sur, pose it lasted much longer, although it seemed to me honrs—happened one bleak night last autumn. Mamma and my brothers had gone out to spend the evening, but I. unfortunate mortal, having a severe cold, had been condemned to stop at home. There I was, never at any time devoted to my own society, left to pass the whole evening in soli- tary splendour; for my family deserted me before seven, and I knew they would not be home until very l?te. Tiles, our new man- servant-in whom mamma was quite persuaded she had found a. treasure; "A man, Laurie dear. I feel we can trust," she generally remarked when she caught sight of him, although Bob, my eldest brother, used to say, "It is a wonder the mater's stock of trust lasta out, as the number of men we have begun by trusting would form a good-sized regiment"—Tiles, I say, came into the room soon after they left, and making up the fire, retired to the doorway, and stood there coughing gently to attract my attention. After he had had quite a severe fit, and stood first on one leg and then on the other several times over, I looked up. "If you please, Miss Laurie, would it be convenient for me to go out for about half an hour?" he inquired directly he caught my eye. Now I knew mother would not like him to go, as she does not like the house left with- out a man to look after it, and never allows him to go out at night until my brothers come home, because she is dreadfully afraid of burglars or the house taking fire. How- ever, I did not like to refuse Tiles, as he stood blandly regarding me with an expression that seemed to say, "You are really too young to ask, miss." So I gracefully muttered, "Yes, he could go, only he was to be sure and come back early." "Thank you, miss," said he. with the air of a man who has done a good deed in asking j leave at all, but has, nevertheless, gone through the ceremony. "I should not think of troubling you, but it is my poor mother- she is getting old, and is in a bad way, and always cheers 'er up if I look in upon her, if only for a few minutes," and Tiles closed the door gently and withdrew. I always feel small when I have given in against my judgment, and I do not believe that man has, or ever had, a mother, for once, when mamma was talking to him about her, he said she was blind, and another time he told a touching tale of the way she would sit, and watch for him, and could tell him miles off. The wind sounded dreadfully cold and cutting as it whistled through the trees and flung itself in angry gusts against the windows. "What a night!" I exclaimed half aloud, with a. shiver, as I drew an easy-chair up to the fire, gathered the library books together, and put my work on the table near me. This work was a shawl I was crocheting up some- how fbr a bazaar. I had been doing it three years, ano. at least half was rather faded; but I had decided to finish the beauty, and tell my cousins to raffle it, although Bob and Harry had offered me anything I liked if I would only let them have it to preserve as a family heirloom. Also, I placed conveniently at my elbow a lovely box of burnt almonds, which Harry, dear boy, had brought for my throat. I was just settling myself comfortably for a good read, with rather the feeling. I am sure, poor Alexander Selkirk must have had, when I heard the front door quietly shut and steps coming up the hall. Next minute the handle of the sitting-room door turned gently. and, looking round, I saw a. tall, handsome young man, with a. dark moustache, standing in the doorway. I remembered who he was directly. A few weeks before an old gentle- man had taken a large furnished house near us. He had only this son. and they never seemed to know anybody. Bob, Harry, and I had. indeed, spent a long time only the night before in pitying this young man; he always seemed so melancholy. But, somehow cr other, as I looked at him to-night, I felt a very uncomfortable sensation. strangely like fear, and a longing that Tiles, instead of cheering eyes—if Bhe had any—of his mother was safe in our kitchen, where, alas! mother "as safe in our kitchen. where, alas! only cook and Jane reigned. I did not feel much assured when my visitor advanced towards me, saying in a tone of great excite- ment: "At last! at last! and to find you alone! this is. indeed, fortunate! I have watched for a long time, but this is more than I hoped. You do not know who I am? No?" as I shook my head. "Nobody here does; but I have come to-night to tell you. People think my name is Valentine Dupres. Well, I let them think it," he continued, with a slight shrug of his shoulders, and never removing a pair of large dark eyes that glittered like diamonds from my face. "But it is not so; I am 'the Reaper!' —'The Reaper,' whose name is Death.' Hi said the last words softly, and then rousing himself went on in a louder voice: "Often and often I have watched you pass my house with your brothers; you always seem very happy together, and I could not think why your beautiful face haunted me day and night; day and night, until slowly I came to know that my Master 'had need' of you in Paradise, and that I-all unworthy as I am, had been chosen to send you. Y.8. 'transplanted by my care, he murmured; then. coming a little nearer, and putting one hand into the breast of his coat, as if to feel something there, "only a moment's pain, and yon will have left for ever this weary world, to be a free and beautiful spirit in everlasting bliss!" Ah! me. if I live to be a hundred, never shall I forget tha.t dreadful moment, when I knew I was alone m. the room with a mad- man; and one. too, who had evidently come with the intention of murdering me. All the sins I bad ever committed; all the things I had done, or left undone, seemed to flash like lightning through my bmin. I pictured mother without her baby, and the boys with no sister to tease; but I am not naturally a. coward, and I determined at all events to make an attempt to preserve my life. If I could only find some way of letting the ser- vants know, they could obtain help, or at least the three of us-and cook is a very big woman-might be able to manage one man. Suddenly it occurred to me that the best plan would be to pretend to agree with him and be quite charmed. I have heard, or read somewhere, that it often has a very soothing effect on such unfortunate people; and if I could engage him in conversation I should ha"o time to think of some excuse for working my way round to the door; and then I might escape. So, as he finished speaking, I looked up with what I intended to be a delighted smile, alihough I could feel it was a very shabby attempt, which would not have de- ceived anyone who knew me in the least, and said. "That is very nice! and how good of yon to come out this cold, wet night, just for me." Alas! try as I woul," my voice did not Bound TETV steady. I "Do not mention it." returaed he, his hand- some. dark face lighting up with pleasure. "I am glad you are satisfied; I ought to have come before, but the people with whom I live are so prejudiced; they do not understand, all you do." "No!" I exclaimed, raising my eyebrows, and evidently very much surprised. "How very stupid!" "Well. I suppose they are to be forgiven," he replied, "they are of the world, worldly; and you! it seems almost a pity, and yet, J 'shall I have nought that is fair? saith he.' It must be so; you see, you are one of 'the flowers that grow between.' "It sounds beautiful when you speak of it." I said, and this time my voice had become quite natural, although I was nearly shiver- ing with fright, and had not the faintest desire to be a flower. "But I do not think I fully understand it yet. Would you mind sit- ting down and talking to me about it for a. little while? before you—you—you proceed, you know." "I should enjoy it above all things." he re- joined, moving towards the fire, but, ah! dear, still standing between me and the door. "If you will pardon me keeping you so long: I see it is a quarter past eight; may I talk to yon until half-past?" I fancy I consented with too much alacrity (a great many things I thought might happen I before then), for he looked at me rather sus- piciously, seeing which I hastened to add: "You were quoting Longfellow a moment ago; do you remember he says, 'Something attempted, something done, has earned a. night's repose'?" (I hoped sincerely Long- fellow did write that; if he did not. I don't know wbo did.) "I was just thinking I should like to finish this shawl, you see it is nearly done," I continued, holding it up before him, "and leave it for my mother. If you don't mind I will ring for Jane to hold the wool for me while we talk." I hardly dared to look at him as I spoke, for I did so dreadfully want someone else in the room. and I had come to the conclusion it would be safe enough for poor Jane, as, if the worst came to the worst, she should escape while he despatched me. But he replied, quite coolly: "Certainly; allow me to ring? I saw your family and the man- servant go out some time ago, so we shall not be disturbed," he added, as he rang the bell. Gracious! lie had evidently watched them out of the house. It seemed hours before I heard Jane's heavy step coming up the hall; my companion mean- while standing, with his arms folded on the top of an arm-chair, talked very pleasantly, and. I think, enjoyed the burnt almonds I offered him. If Harry had only known! but I saw he kept glancing at the clock every now and then. I Jane's face was a picture of astonishment I when she came in and saw my visitor. I told her to get some wool and hold it for me to- wind, and while we were busy I tried by every means I could think of to tell her the real state of affairs; but. indeed, she soon found out, for my companion quickly returned to his subject. At last X asked him what weapon he preferred, and, in fact. how he did it gene- rally; for I thought if it were a pistol the nearer I kept to him the better, to try and knock it up; but if it were a case of knives. the further off I could get the safer I should be. You are thinking of the 'sickle keen,* are you not?" he said. his restless eyes. that never I seemed still a moment, flitting round and round the room, and then returning to my face; and as I murmured something about, having forgotten, he added, "Ah! that is a. beautiful poem, I wish I had known Long- fellow, if only to have thanked him for the way he has mentioned me." And still leaning against the back of the chair, he repeated. rather more as if to himself than to us, the whole poem, his voice rising and falling like lovely music. lovely music. "It should truly be a sickle, but it is rather an awkward thing to carry about." he con- tinued, "so I have been obliged to change it, for this:" and he drew out a small dagger, with a splendid jewelled hilt, something like I the one I should imagine Juliet must have I stabbed herself with when she found Romeo was dead. He seemed utterly fascinated with the sight of the bright cold steel, laying it against the palm of his hand, and waving it in the air, until suddenly he looked at the clock, and then turning to me. exclaimed, "The time is up, little flower! you Ought now to be in Paradise." (To be concluded to-morrow.)

TOUGH.- An old Englishman, who has been for many years in America, will never give in to an American that America has anything of any kind in it to compare at all with the old country. He got into a very hot dispirte with two Americans, and, having fought them ae to every other production, they came to beef. "Well," said one of the Americans, "you will admit that our beef is good?" "Yes, the beef is all right here." "We send it over to England, and your people buy it?" "Yes, that's true." Finding the old man weakening, the American discussed "backwards," and got him rather entangled. At last, after a long talk, they rose to say good night, and the English- man, as they went. seemed to reflect thut he had been giving in too much. So he said. "You nearly fixed me over the beef; but I don't give in altogether. The beef is good-- all right! You send it to England—all Tight! The people buy it—all right! But they don't eat it. boys-they don't eat it. They make it into solid leather trunks, and send it back to you at a tremendous profit!"

NOT AN OSTRICH. At CJlerkenwell Police-court an officer was giving evidence against a woman accused oi robbing a pawnbroker, and assured the magistrate that. on his telling the prisoner the charge on which he had taken her, she "turned from him and swallowed a bed-tick, a pair of stays, two braes candlesticks, a smoothing-iron, and a. bellows!" "Nonsense! Have you lost your senses?" said the magistrate. "Your worship, 'tie the tickets for them. I mean she swallowed."

THE CAT LEFT. v It was evening. Three of them were 'killing a, cat. One of them held a lantern, another held the cat, and the third jammed a pistol into the cat's ear and fired, shooting the man in the hand who held the cat, and the one with the lantern was wounded in the arm. The cat left when it saw how matters stood and that ill-feeling was being engendered.

WOULDN'T SMOKE A SINGLE PIPE. Some smokers confess to little weaknesses which require the application of a pipe jar cigar as a sedative. John Wesley vigorously opposed even this sort of application. One of his own preachers" much addicted to tobacco was compelled by the great "leader" to promise never to smoke a single pipe aeain. The next time Wesley entered the preacher's room the delinquent was calmly smoking? two nipef at once.
