M. J LIHOU LOST. There is scarcely anything in unfortunate for a man than the sence of loving women around childhood and youth. Mark Rir bsd never known such women, an oller this fact * some palliation his want of fait in them. He w.'fj ignorant of his patenta he had been lound one morning the steps of the Foundation School Baxtergate, Ripon; and as it was tue festival of Si Mark, lie h-id ceived the name of the saint and t name of his native city, and bj a ?opted by the institution Who s) ue food, stout clothing and a c cent trade had oeen given bim by t foundation, and in m-tny respects was felt to have done it honor, fi niter fifty years' creditable citiz? ship, he was one of the Cat hedi vestry, sar in the Common Council the ancient city which hud adopt him, ami was said to be worth at Ie* ?50,000. But there is a success which t world sees litt]? of-that of the bea -aud in this respect iMark Rip< was the veriest pauper. Of the nurs and matrons who had been aroni hts earliest years he hail not oue te: der memory: none ul them had U the hunger of his heart. He had t home, no mci lu r, no sister. Tl school bad been simply a place ; which to eat, sleep, mid learn. Unfortunately, when the lad fell i love, it was with a pretty flirt, infii itely more heartless than himself Bi Mark's love had been cruelly decti ed and mocked, and, when he hr come out of his chagrin and soi roi he had a confirmed belief in the "e. ri eral and natural unfaithfulness < women. Popular maxims and jes - confirmed him every day in hu ide; and, like mo?t Englishmen, haviu once avowed this as his opinion, ev? i y reiteration of his ow.i idea was iresh confirmation of it. But he had many friends arnon his own sex. Men generally spok of him as a misty old bachelor, bi otherwise as a well-to-do, shrewd an honorable obi fellow. Chief arnon these was young George Downes, lb child of the only companion his boj hood had ever known, and his ow godson. If Mark Ripon loved an human being, it Was George Downe though the latter, as he grew to um hood, gave him a great deal of anxU ty, for George preferred the societ of women, and would not credit Mai k positive assurances of their univers* falseness and unworthiness. One moonlight night, as Mark wv coming from a vestry meeting, he mt George in the cathedral close, aud o his arm was a very beautiinl gir The old man looked very angrily an doubtfully at the pretty face lilted 1 his favorite's. The bright moonbe>:u touched her long t:sir cut is, and nin-i the veil round them like a glop Mark remembered just such a lovel; innocent face to hi.*, aud he had n doubt that this girl would be as fall to George as pretty Fanny Maitb hud been to hiji. George, however, would not be pei RI laded to doubt her. Then Mar offered to p y his expenses if h would go ahmad and travel for tw vears; but George said he had got situation in a bank, and preter? ed t say at home. The young man, i Mtirk's eyes, WHS bent on i uiniu himself, and in a few weeks bc celt bruted his wedding, with an elabe rate rejoicing that roused the ol man's bitterest contempf. George lui iv expected that now h would be ignored, and probably los any chances that he might have ha of inheriting bis go.! father s wealtL But Mark was unlike the generali! ot men in matty respects, and in non mote than in bis behavior to th young mau who had so flagranti; disregarded all iii-- advices and en treaties. He redoubled his car? over hin: and watchfd ail his movements will a constantly increasing interest Ii fact, he did not blame George i t all he regarded him as one who, in ai unfortunate hour, had rallen into th iihtids of a power which wa? too grea fer him. He pitied the happy bride groom, and resolved as soon as pot silile to release him from tiie toils o a woman who had charmed and eu slaved him. In V;MII George's wife smiled npoi and entertained Mark Ripon. Hi visited her house, indeed, for it wai necea?arv to watch her movements but neither smiles, or songs', or atten lions, moved Murk. He had gon< through that delusion once, and wa! not to be deceived again. It was on? great point of favor that George Lac Takc-n a house in s-icb a eituation thal _%_ _ he could keep fhe young wife nn< very close surveillance, and h?1 \ confident that, sooner or later, would prove her all be believed t men universally to be. But month ali er month went, and George was more- in lovo th ever. There bad also come to 1 happy home over the way fn Mark's a line little boy that bad be called after bim, and a blue-eyed g whom n??t even Mark could find it his heart to regard as dangerous. J was even venturing to make M George Downes that exception said bc contingent upon every rule, wh suddenly all suspicions were fore into active life and prominence. O ie day-a very wet one-a ck carriage drove up to George's houi and Mrs. George, heavily cloak and veiled, was driven away in it. "Very well, mam," said Mai suspiciously, to himself, "we shall e whether you confess to having be ont to day." So he went over to George's, pl* el a rubber or two with his favorii and tried every way to induce a co fession as to the 'rive in the rai but the young wife would make allusion to it. This was on a Mo day, On Thursday, ar the sat hour, the carriage came again, ai George's wife went away in it. 'L next week she went on three djffe ent day.-, and twice, th* weither b ing tine, he noticed she wore h very best dres^j, thc rich brocai that had been on<* of* her weddu suits. The affair was beginning to lot very black, to j^'ark. for bc- had sati ti -ci himself that George had be? cold nothiug whatever ol these clai destine excursions On the next Mo day he had ii carnage waiting, ar when the ladv went out again he il reefed his driver to keep her well i sight. lu this way he -followed h beyond the aristocratic precincts tile city to a little house set back : ??garden nuire in the eu but bs. v-ry handsome, foreign-looking ma met her with many smile* and escor e i her into the house. Mark pei is carnage home, aud paiientl waited. After an interval of two hom Mis. Downes's carri tge returned, th s tine gentleman pur her carefully ii tj it, and must have driven at om h une, for when Mark p.:spej tl h-iiise she wa? sitting m her plai merino dress by the window, tendiu his namesake. She ran to the doc and begged him to come in; but Mar was too tull ot his discovery, aud ai swereu, gruflly : "Ask George to come to me aftt dinner; ? h tve something to tel him." George heard what his godfatht hui to say with a face half augr -tnd ha f incredulous. "It must have been my wife's ail t rr," be said. Maik laughed scornfully at auch ddienae, and. moreover, stoutly u? Silted that it waa Mrs. Downes an not: her sister. '.Come on Thursday and see ic yourself, Geoige." "If I do, godfather, it will uot h b.cause I suspect my wile, nut h e tuse I am sure to prove you wrong. Still George thought it si ugo la that he could not by the most adro questioning get lrom her any nllusiu to th jae mysterious visirs. At lengt he said : "Emma, I will ask for Thu red a atreinoon, and we will go ouf to A I luruugh wo ds and get the holly an I Mistletoe for Christmas. What c j you say ? ' ' I can't go, Thursday, George, dea ' 1 have so much to do." 'What have you to do ?" i "More than I can tell. Ia it m : nearly Christmas, and does that m J imply all sorts ot housekeeping di ? tits ? But I will go with you Fi ? day, dear." George was a little crop'- at the r ! fusal, Hud answered, gloomily : 1 NJ- I Lave lost the wish to . now." ? Then both were silent, and ti i evening was not a pleasant one. A ; the next day he told himself that 1 ; would not <io and watch his wi j - ; Thursday; and yet when the titi came he *as sitting with hid go< father ai the window. At the usu hour the carnage arrived, and Mr j Downts with htr huir as elaborate! i dressed as il soe waa going to a stat dinner at the Bishop's palace, ra down the steps, aud was soon drivt rapidly away. . Well, godfather." he said, plea j antly, "that is Emma, certainly, aL ah? is very remarkably dressed ; bu I for all that, I am t-ure she has non ! ?cod reasou tor what she is doing. ; O . * I believe 1 will wait until she tel j me." ; "D m t be a lool, Georg*-; go au j question your servants. ' Alter a little reflection, Geor? crossed to his own boat?and rang ti beli. The housemaid seemed astor ished at his appearance, and when t asked where ber mi?t?ess waa, sai i she had not seen ber since she hu j taken her orders for dtnuer. Th? ! George went up to the nuisery. I "Where's your misti ess, Aun ?" ' lu ?^he not iii the parlor, sir?'' , "You know ^hr is not. Whei did ehe go in tue carriage V ' "Indeed, sir, it is uiy business i . j mind the children; the misti ess kuotn j ber owu .'flairs, without tiie likes < ? me meddling in them." I He turned rouud impatiently, wei i ?ck to Mark Ripon and g>t an ai 11 curate description of the house I ' I which he had traced Mrs. George j and in-half an h ar the half curioi j and hail angry husband Pepped e ' the pretty cottage. All was quit : j about it; there was no appearance <: 'j company; it looked almost deserte 1 in its wintry garden. An *>xceedin? . 1 Iv lovely woman, though evident! in irai 1 an?! hulling health, opened I the door tor him, saying : "You want to see the signor, sir?" "No: I wish to see Mrs. Dowues; she is here, I believe ?" "Ah, ye?, she is here. If you will please go up one stair. I am so weak and tired always." Shepointed to the stairs, and George went thoughtfully up them. Hali' way there was a little landing and a door, and there he heard a strange, musical voice, and then iii? wife's merry laugh to its observation. It nettled George; he knocked sharply, and before an answer could be given opened the door and walked into thc room. '"Oh, George, how provoking ! What made you come, dea: ? ' His wife was sitting in all her bridal finery on a little elevated plat form, and Signor Sarti was putting the last touches to a lovely portrait of her. "I meant it for your Christmas gift-, George, and you have peeped before hand. Ia not that too bad?" "Indeed it is, Emma." But Emma was almost satisfied with his peeping, so proudly and lov ingly did he take her home. "How did you find me out, George? ' "Oh, you are easy to find out, Em ma. Of coarse I knew if you went out in A cairiage that you got it at Morrells. But how did you come to know this Frenchman ?" "You think all foreigner.-* ure Frenchmen, George. He is an Ital ian, and so is his beauti&il wife. He came from London to paint my Lord Bishop and the cathedral, and the signora waa so much better here that be ?esolved to spend the winter at Yorkshire and try to make enough io J go to Italy soon. My Lord asked j me to have my picture done, and I papa paid for it in order to surprise j you. I think, George dear, you had j better not let, papa know yon have j spoiled hi* surprise." George felt more and moro sorry j and humiliated as hu looked in the i pretty, trank face, and thought h-jw j cheerfully, after ali, she had taken i the forestallment of her Christmas i j secret. j "I will do as you say, Emma. Has 1 ; the signor plenty of work ?" 1 j "He is painting many ol the prill- ?1 j cipal ladies in the city. The bishop j I j thinks very highly ol' him. indeed, i I have seen his lordship there at j nearly all my visits.*' j ? j George let the subject di op now as ' 1 quickly as possible to Emma ; but hf. tdlkei 4 good deal about it-and in no very good tempe! -lo his godfath er. For once Mark tiad no excuse tor his suspicions. He was quite awed by the faut that he had dared to thiuk wrong ol interviewa which the bishop had arranged and honored with his presence. He had lo6t laith tn his own penetral ion regarding the sex, and George and Emma were qui I etly at some pains to convince him tu.it good and tiue women are not the exception. Though I cannot describe exactly how it. came about, I know that the next Christmas Mark Was ihe gayest old bachelor iu Ripon, and opene-.i j the festival ball at George's house with Signor Sar ti'fl handsome sister j the very same lady whom the Bishop himself, very soon atterward, made Mrs. Mark Ripon. ! The Dog Thai H em Over Niagara. - The dog which was throwu from ^ j the Niagara bridge and miraculously 1 j escaped drowning in the rapids is still ! alive on Taylor's Point.

The Prolits of Hie Revision. The question has been asked again I aud again, where do the profit of sales of the revised New Testament go ? There is no Bible society or mission ary association to profit thereby, but alter paying expenses, which by the j English committee ?ire given at $100,- I OOO tor work thus far done on both j Testaments, all othur profils go to the ! University Press publishers who at ! the outset, in lieu ?d' the copyright, guaranteed all expenses to the revi sers then. The American committee, however, do not receive and will not get one cent. Their expenses, not for labor, but for travel, correspon dence, etatiotfery, ?to, have been paid by private subscriptions np to this ti rn? Th" profus maa be very great i! the Oxford publishers have already sold, as reponed, 2.000,000 copier. But th s number includes the 500,000 cent to this country. The diftertnt styles are t-old cheaper in the lTuited Statis than I hey are in England, Canada and ihe colonies, because ol the lack of international copyright here. For example, the very popular 20 cent edition sold in New York, se'ls ?n London and Que bec for 25 or -".0 cent-', aud the high er priced copies are proportionally incieased. "You are weak," said a woman to her son, who was remonstrating against her marrying again. "Yes, mother, lam," he replied; "I am so weak that I can't go a step father." Setring a Hen.

April 20, 1881.-201y SEDGWICK'S Steel Wire Fence. -:o: E ACH year the question of Die cheapest and at the same time the moat durable and effective, fence becomes more prominent, and it has remained for the firm of SEDGWICK BROS. to solve the problem. This they have done by the invention of machinery by which wire can be rapidly made into a double-twist-net. work of diamond shaped mesh. Thia ?8 conceded by all who have seen it, to be the r-jat scientific and economical manner in which steel or iron can be used to insure the greatest strength and durability. The SEDGWICK STEEL WIRE FENCE ia the only general purpose wire fence in use. Being a net-work without barba, it will keep out small pigs as well aa the most vicious stock with no possibility of injury. It shelters no enemies to crops or poultry, ami makes no shade. It is just TEE FENCE for Gardners, Farmer?5, Stock Baisers ?nd Railroads, and is very desirable for Lawns, Parks, Cemeteries and Front Yards. For nearly sill Enclosures and for a Better Fence Economy? Hie Sedgwick Fence has no equal. Being dipped ic rust-proof paint it will last a lifetime, and is better than board fence in every rjspect. It is of much greater atrength and du* rability than barbed fence. It ia not affected by heat and cold owing to its peculiar coufctruction, allowing contraction and taking up all expansion? Stock may run against it without injury to either atock or fence. Pigs and Poultry are restrained better than by any other fence. We ask for it a fair trial, fully believing that all our customers will be satisfied. Wire net-work is no new thing, but we have reduced tile cost until it is within the reach of farmers. We specially recommend our fence for bottom lands, as it will allow free passage of water and can be arranged so as to hang fast in placea, even when the flood will tear out the posts in more exposed placps. None of it will be washed away. This fencing, as its nam? implies, is made of the best annealed steel wire. The margin wire, i. e. top and bottom wires, run nearly straight, and I are No. f?. which is common size telegraph wire. The body wires are No. 13. The breaking strain of No. 9 is about 2,500 pounds, and of No. lo about 800 pounds. The measure of the mesh is the extreme length and breadth of the opening, and a postal card will not go through a five inch mesh without touching at thc four corners. No single wire is expected to break with less than SOO pounds strai^ and the wire will break before the twist will slip. 52 inch fence, five inch m. sh, is a very good farm fence; 47 inch, 5 inch mese, is a fair fence, lut not high enough to restrain very breachy atock. Our four inch me.^h contains one-fourth more wire for the same height ann is correspondingly better: 46 inches or higher will be found reliablefor stock, but we think 50 ana 5-1 inch is preferable. We make 66 and 70 inch lenee specially Jor barn lot.-, or wherever high fences are needed, and no cheaper fence can be used tor that purpose. * In using this netting for front yard fence, a railing and base board, takes the place of braces at the ends of the fence and makes it more ornamental. Cut. No. 1 CUT XO. 1. Cut No. 1 represents our Lawn Ga'es with some fence up. and a roll at the end as it is being put up. Our Lawn Gates weigh from 12 to 20 lbs? Cut No. 2 shows end view of fence as put up with base board and railing. Cut No. o represents our Drive Gates-these weigh from 45 to 55 lbs. single und from 50 to 00 lbs. double. ' . / v .? s. \ \.'

These gates are all titted with our adjustable hinge that allows oi the gate being set high or low, and to open either way oi both ways, with spring latch and either double or reversible catch as per order. All our gates are specially suited to self-opening attachments. We are citen asked : How long will it last?
