Yes. I ,houl( think I have; how else could have grandchildren, thosoe peopi who laugh so hearty when I laugh and make me tell how*old I am score of times, and say how wel I am lookimg. Been in love? I think I wa: talking of that, was I not ? Yes been in love. Well, we did lovt when I .as a young fellow, aid I recoleet my Alice and I recollee her as I loved her when she wo young, and as I love her now. I think that she could do anything but drink arid smoke or tell an un. truth, or do a wrong action. Hei flace wa- a sweet oval face: her hair a very dark brown, nearly black ; and her eyes were a dtep blue. full or merriment at one mo ment, aye, at adl moments except when she heard a sad story ur was touched with pain for rio Clie else,and then thl-y grew deeper as ther 6led with tears. Not for herself. She never cried for her self that I know of, for she never had a day's illness. But she was terribly cut up when her brother died, and that you see was how I knew her. Her brother was my right hand man in my company. Many's the time he stood shoul der to shoulder to me, 1ood at drill, good at song, good at anything. . Ie used to live Iear the coast; and indeed, hi% joined us and I was one of his Lent fel lows, and his iin. Well, he knew people that I knew, a.d we were sz .n friends. and lie took me home to shoW 11W Alice. Ile was always talking about her, and she about him ; and when he wa,; there, scarce a look did she give him. Her brother his name was Joe, and mine too could do everything, and was the be-all and end-all of the world, I used to think; and so one day I tried to run with Joe, and Joe beat me, arid Alice laughed ; and then I shot against Joe, and he e:4t me too, and she laughed the m'>re; and I wrestled with him and threw him; she didn't laugh then put ran to see whether he w'as hurt, and said it wasn't fair for Joe to tackle a big fellow like me, although he was nigh an inch taller. In short, I could not please her anyhow. Welt, it was one day when we heard that the flat-bottomed boats of old Boney were not coming over, and that the army of Bou logue had melted bit by bit, away like a snow-drift, that we made a night of it. Aye, it was a nigh t, too! and being hot and in sum mer, we must needs keep up the fun till the sun came up over the seacoast, looking red and angry at our folly. Well Joe and I, the two Joes, as they called us, ran down the beach and washed our hot faces, and plunged into the salt waves, anid were in a minute as fresh and merry as two larks ; after dressing, Joe must needs take a walk with me, wvho was nothing loth you must know, along the edge of the cliff. The seas for centuries had been washing that chalk-bound coast, and at intervals there stands up pillars of chalk with seas around them. The people call such a place "No Man's Land," and no man can own it, truly. Well, Joe come to one of these within a few feet, say twelve, from the cliff, and turning to me, said: "Joe junior," said he, I think I see his bright face now. "I chal lengo you to jump on that 'No Man's Land,' I do,'" "Joe," said I, hurriedly, "don't be a fool! May be it would give way at the top; and if it didn't how could you jump back without a run ? You'd be stuck on the tK like a mad sentinel or a pillar saint. I'm rnot going to,jump it.'' "But I am," said he, and Lbfor I could stop him, if indeed I had tried, he took a run and jumped. It was so sudden that I could only stand aghast when I saw him there. He stood, indeed, for a miomenrt, and thena he took a back :tep, anid would have jarmped back, when I h2ard a rumbling sound, anid half the top of thte "No Man's Land" parted, and the chalk and earth, Joe, too, fell down with a crash to the rocky coast below. 1 ran round the little creek to the other side of a small bay, and throwing myself down on the turf, stretched my neck over, looked ovr, arid cried out, "Joe, are you hurt, Joe ?" A faint voice carle up, and I could see the poor fellow strug. ging under a huge piece of chalk, which seemed to hold him downr in agony. He smiled in a ghast. ly way, and said: "Run, Joe, run, h ide' onming- in." Well, I did run. and wc ropes froi the tents, and a fe stroll, 1ellows held them is swung over the cliff. just reachin c poor Joe as the cold water wn lap, l), lappitwng up to his m outni I taking away his bieath. and thel [ running back erawling over hir and Icaving" bubbles of salt f0ar as if in sport. I got himll out, bu he could not stand. Some bone were broken, alll be was badi: bruised, so that I was forced to i him to a rope, ndil they haulei him up, and afterwards pulled i, Up, and we (uok him home.. Well, well, to make a long stor short, poor Joe died, with m3 praise on his lips and Alice bowe< her head like a broken lily. .I was a long time before she go over it, and summer had growi into winter,and winter to suinmer to autumn, and to winter again. The threatening invasion was al over, our swords were gettinL rusty, our uniforms dirty, ant when the holidays caine I left thi firm in which I was a partner, anc went to spenid a fortnight at my old friends in Kent. Alice was there, well and cheer fal now, and reconciled to her loss though we often talked of poot Joe, and as the days wore on we grew closer together, and she call. ed me by name, and seemed to have transferred her brother's love to me. Slhd never told me so, noi let others see it, till one merry Christmas night, when she reject ed alr her cousins and her other friends, and would only dance with me. We had the mistletoe. At last, oie mad-enp fellow proposed that t he ladies should kiss the gentle mien all around when and how they could ; and Alice should too; and ,he, in a solemn, quiet way, 'Mlilinu sadly, and yet sweetly too, took me beneath the Christmas bough aud kissed me on the lips. Aye, it's many years ago, but I feel it now. Mv heart beat so fast that I hardly dared ret urn it; but I put my arm around her and took her gently by the bay-window of the old hall, saying as 1 pressed her hand : "Alice, dear A lice. did you mean that kiss?" - WVeil, I need not tell you what she answered. "Tis fifty years ago, nflly years ago; and I am sur rounded by Alice's deargranadebil Idren ; and there is one, a little thing with light and golden hair, that will deepen int.o brown, who plays around my knees and tells me her little stories, her sorrows and her joys so quick, so hurried in their coming and their going, that they are like my own, and as we talk we grow quite friends and compainions, as my Alice was to me. Bless you, she understands it all. Sbe is a woman in her -pretty ways; her poutings, pettings and quarrelings. She manages her household of one wax doll and t wo wooden ones, and tells me the wax doll is the lady andl the wooden ones are the servants in the mob caps and stuff gowns, when they gossip with a wooden policeman who belongs to her little brother Joe. So we are fast friends, little Alice and I, and to-night, on Christmas night, I noticed she could not dance or play with the pink arid shiny faced little boys who were unnaturally tidy and clean in their new knickerbockers, with red stockings ; but she came and sat by me, and talked softly g Alice did, arnd made me think of fifty years ago, And only think how old times come back, arid new times like the old; only just think that when her mother told mue she could cho"se a sweet her, ad she got a little bit of mistletoe, and chimbing slyly on my knee, and holding ime in talk, Ias if to hide on purpose, though I guessed it soon, I tell you, she put her little doll-like arm around my neck and holding the mistletoe :bove my head, she kissed me again anid again, anid said I was her sweetheart. So this child sweetheart brought the old timies back-the times that are still so distant arid so near and the sweet kiss 'neath the rust ling leav~es mande me thdink ot' my dead Alice ini the grave. Braiin-work costs more thanr hand-w ork. According to careful estinmates arid analyses of the ex ertious, three hom4rs of hamrd study wears out the body more than ;a w hole day of severe physical labor, Another evidence of the cost of brain-work is obtained from the fact that though the brain is only one-fortieth the weight of the body, it receives about onec-fifth of all the blood sent by the heart in. 'to the system. Brnain-workers therefore require a more liberal suply of food, anid richer food, .thnn manual laborers. isuellaneltns. ACTS PASSED AT tHE RE CENT SESSION OF THE GEN ERAL ASSEMBLY.
