VOLUME XXXVI.
THE FROZEN HEART.
The winter snow fell deep and fast,
Perplexing all the April daj,
While bitter blew the surly blast
Which shook each leafless twig and spray.
The little birds were dumb and blue,
And chirruped forth no cheerful note,
Tha simplest melody they knew
Had frosen fast in every threat.
Jvst then, beneath theoloudy sky,
A little maid demure and sweet,
Shot forth, with sorrow in her eye.
And skimmed the fields with naked feet.
She fled because her heart was sore,
And when a bird fell from a limb,
She thought of her own grief the more,
And Hepped aside to rescue mm.
But, when her brother followed toe,
And bore her sandals in his band,
3he said: "The cold that chills me thro.,"
Is in my heart?not where I stand.
"For those who hold me in their thrall
Have linked me to a loveless mate;
No oolder fortune can befall,
Since I must love the one I hate."
MR DELMAYNE'S WARD.
Something mast be done," mid
Mrs. Charles. Delmayne, decisively,
the girl is getting more reckless every
Jay.'
What can be doneF" asked Mr.
Richard Delmayne, looking helplessly
it his sister-in-law, 'we oannot shot ber
up in a convent.' 1
'No, but we ean find htr a husband j
md get her comfortably settled.'
iBut she is too yonog.' '
- u? ?j r
'She win he nineteen in iu?j, ?uu + ,
married at that ape. It is a preat pity
that yu were obliped to receive her
into your household, Richard. Guar,
rlitosbip over a pirl like Dorothea, was 11
i great responsibility for a bachelor to
issnme.' I <
'I suppose so/ was the rep'y; 'bat I <
joold not refuse the dying request of '
in old friend/ I
'At first, I entertained hopes that sbs I'
would improve by remaining with us/ I'
mid Mrs. Pelmayne, plaintively; 'but, I1
is I remarked before, she is wilder than I '
sver. I am kept in a perpetual state of '
oervous excitement, for I never know J'
what madcap prank she will play next. I
r thought it diagraoefnl enough when j <
>he donned a suit of Dick's and went!1
ikating on the pond the evening they j >
bad that skating party, but this last 11
prank is still worse, if possible." J
Mrs. Delmayno folded her plump, 11
white hands and settled herself comfort-1
ibly in a luxurious easy chair, and pre* 11
pared, to enjoy her favorite pastime, I
which consisted of retailing Dorothea's [
misdemeanors. 11
'You know Squire Vonsonby has
been looking for a wife for a year or I'
two?now he ia quite wealthy, is re-1
pectsbly connected, *tid would be a j'
very suitable match for Dora/ I j
'Squire Vonsonhy !' pasped Richard I
in amazement, 'he is old enough to be 11
her prandfather. and has a married I
daughter who is considerably older than
Dot/ 1
Well/ replied his s^ter-in-Iaw, I
'Dora needs a husband who is steady J
snd sober-minded, she is so flighty her. I <
self. Beside*, Mr. Vonsonhy looks full 11
ten years younger than his real see. In I
mv opinion it we'd have been s very J
suitable match, Bnt. it ia all over now/ I
she added, with a sigh, 'he will never J
enter this house again/ j
In answer to Richard's look of in-1
quiry Mrs. Delmavne continued : j
'I invited Mr. Vonsonhy to tea last J
eveninp?T had rov household duties to j
attend to after teg was over, so I left I
Dorothea to entertain onr curst 8he J
winat have neplected him shamefully, j
for the poor now foil asleep. and the little
hnzzv a< ized the opportunity to pl*y
one of h-r ridiculous pranks. sha actoallv
had the andarity' and Mm. IV!mayne
lowered her voice to an impn ssive
whisper, 'actually had the audacity
to remove hie wie and suhstitnte an old
md one that ahe found among aome
rnhhiah in the garret. The poor man
did not discover the trick until h* had
become the laughing-stock of the community.
P'ck happened to hear about
it thia morning, and T ennaidered it my
duty to inform yon of the affair, aa you
were absent at the time '
'Ha, ha, ha !' laughed Richard. 'I
can imagine how ridicnloua he looked
etrutting along in his pompon* manner'
'I am certainly aatoniahed at you,
Richard.' aaid Mrs. Dolmayne, severely.
I sincerely hope you do not uphold
the girl in her disgraceful actions ?'
'I shall of conrae reprove her.' he re*
plied. 'Pot will improve as she grows
older, T have no donbt?ahe is vevr
merry and thoughtless noir. but T think
she will develop into a splendid woman.'
Mrs. Pelmsyne cast an uneasy look
at her brother in-Uw's face as ahe left
the room She had a reason for wishing
Dot safely disposed of; she was fenrfnl
that Richard might tan in iots wun nin
fascinating ward, and that he woald ne er
do, for if he were to marry it would
dash Mrs. Delmayne's hopes to the
ground. She had secretly determined
that her son Dick?hia uncle's namesake?should
be his heir. Beside, her
brother-in-law's elegant residence made
a very comfortable home for herself and
fatherless hoy, and madams had no intention
of losing it; henoe she made the
most of Dot's misckieeons escapades.
Just as madame's silken skirts rustled
up stair* the hall door flew open 1
and light footsteps danced along the
passage.
Dot 1 Dot!' called Mr. Delmayne,
The appellation exactly suited the
oung girl who entered. A dsiu'y
form, a dnrk. piquant face, lit up with
a pair of black eyes which sparkled
'Well, Guardy,' she said, with a saucy
smile, which revealed a dimple in each
soft pink cheek. 'What?is it a. lcc
ture ?'
'Yes, Dot.' replied Mr. Delmayne.
gravely, 'I really most lectors you.
Yoor conduct to Mr. Voneonby was extremely
unladylike.'
'I don't care, Guardy,' cried Dot, defiantly,
'I can't bear old Vnnsonhy, and
I atn confident that Mrs Delmayne invited
him here to make love to me, so I
resolved to frnstrate her kind Intentions.
She left me to entertain him all the
evening, and I was just dying to finish
Jane Eym.' Well, I gave him the
laat number of Srr>'bner'? and the
Monthly Revietc, and hoped he wno'd
entertain himself; hot no?he wanted
me to play a panje of cribbape. I hate
oribbage, so I told him I nevor play- d
the game without staking a small sum
of money, jost to make it interesting.'
Oh. Dot!'
He looked horrified at the idea of
gambling, and asked for some musie, so
I sat down to the piano and madft as
much noise as possible. He said that
sort of mnsio was eery edifying, but it
made his head ache, and, he inquired if
I could favor him with 'Annie Laurie.'

Not by any mesne,' assented har

Well,' continued Dot, 'a harpv
thought struck me. I ran softly up
ituirs and got an old red wig that Dick
used to wear when he belonged to the
Amateur Dramatio Olub. Then I oar**

'Charming charming!' he replied,

said thoughtfully, 'he is a widower with
fire children; 1 don't know as I should
be capable of taking that position '
'1 should think not,' said her guardian
with a smile.
'Well.'cried Dot. with a dispairing
expression on her saucy face. 'I don't

Then suddenly realising the enormity
of her heedless speech, she darted

The laughing bride denied all sueh S

children criod and screamed in their terror
as the wolves came nearer and '

A Cure tor Slander.
The. following very homely bntsingu*
larly instructive lesson is by St. Phillip
Neri;
A lady presented herself to him one
day. accusing herself of being given to
Blander.* "Do you frequently fall into
rhis fault ?" inquired the saiot, "Yes.
Father, very often, replied the penitent
Mv dear child," said the saint, "your
fault is great, hut the mercy of God is
Ml a* J.
nil fixator; ror your penance oo a*
follows: Go (o the nearest market
r?uroha?c arhiokon just killed and still
jovered with feathers; yon will then
iralk to a oortain distance plocking the
?ird as trnu am alone; your walk finished,
roa will return to roe "
Great was the astonishment of the
ady in receiving so stranee a penance:
>ut silencinc all hnrnan reasoning, she
eplied, "I will obey, Father, I will
>ber." Accordingly, she repaired to
he market, boneht the fowl, and set
>nt on her journey, pluoking it as she
sent along, as she had been ordered.
To a short time she returned, anxiou*
o tell of her exact new in accomplishing
ier peoanoa and desirona to reoeira
tome explanation of one so singular.
"Ah !" said the saint, "you hare been
rcry faithful to the first part of my orlere;
now do the aeeond part, and you
rill be cured. Retrace your steps, pass
brough all the places you hare already
reversed, and gather up one by one all
he feathers you hare scattered "
"But, Father/' exclaimed the poor
mman, "that is impossible* I cast the
eether* cmreleealy on every aide; the
rind carried them in different direciona;
how can I now reoorer them V*
"Well, my child," replied the saint,
'so it is with vour words of slander,
ike the feathers which the wind has

ottered. "i?J oe?n wwrra ID
oany directions; call them back now if
on en. Go and ain no more."
History does not tell if the lady was
onverted; but it ia probable. It re*
aired a saint to give the lesson, one

Foiling the Hangman.
There are some instances on record
s which the panishtn -nt of rut. per. '

A story is told as which seems to go K '/j]u
far toward corroborating the tbaory of - *
i he late Bo? Tweed as to ohaooes. It
is wtid that a tramp called at the boose
of Mr. Bniley, in the township of Mom,
and asked permission to stop all night.
A little persuasion led to his reqn<dl
being granted, and also to his being
asked to take sapper. During the meu
Mrs Bailey called to her little daughter,
but ths young one paid no atteniiow.
Again calling, the mother used the fall
name of the child; ''Isabella Stereos,

and the result was that Mrs. Bailsj
