At the same inopportune monent a ser

she would see her with respect to some1

Off bustled the kindly old lady, leaving
Graham and Einor to discuss the delicate
topic she had introduced. .
"Is that, true, Nell?" asked Daglish in a
low innle.
"What if it ie?" said Miss Royston,

''It is nothing to you."

to a breakfast very different, and served up
very difforently, from the morning meal tat
home. Ilal's appetite, -which the brisk
mornhig walk had sharmened, had suddenly
ibated.with Mr. Vail Nest's salutation, anid
wholly departed at his wife's cold look at
tle "'new boy." Tho first order was to
litch the horso to the plough, then anl old
tin bucket was handed Hal and they started
for the field. Mr. Van Nest said, "Stick
to your business to-day, boy; look sharp,
for I want you to pick up anile worms, as
[ turn thO furrow, and fill that gallon bue
iet, if you're smart. and know what's good
ror yourself.
"Are you going fishing ?" Hal asked with
midden interest."
"Never you mind where I'm going-only
lollow 1m10 and stick to business."
I [l did not mind stooping pver so niny1
Jmes in a minute, at first, though the birds k
amg their love songs in the trees around
im, and the breezes whisperud In his .ear,
Ia they fanned his chek, to "Come, colie t
'er the hills and away, fishing." le re
ilsted the impulse to fly, and did stick to t
usiness most assliduotsly. After a while
1o ventured to ask agaip:
"What are you going to do with all these
worilis, sell them to the students?"
And lie was told again: "Never you
Wnid what Im going to do with them ; you
Just stick to your business."
When noon came, and they went to din
ler,, poor Hal had became so disgusted with
ds work, that eating was a farce. Before t
tarting for the field again, lie made a pro
est, but was, "See here, boy, you and I
nidetabargain for aday's work, you dowhat
[tell you. or I'll make you."
fHal was 'subdued, and marched off, and
vent, to work. lie was dizzy, faint, tired, t
iugry, sick, but lie dragged himself after <
hat everlastiig plough. And so the long t
tfterhoon wore away, for all things have ian I
mhing, and so did this wretched daty.
I'lcy went, to the barn, unlhtceled, and the
nanil1 took up the bucket, shook his head.

lelapidated enough and very considerably J

ocking-chair, looking into the glowing em- t
ers of a Spring fire, which.burned low up- I
in the hearth, he soliloquized thus: 1

Ancient Co1is.
There is (uite a full collection of Ancien
Doinls onl view in New York,
1t is quito evident that early English
-oins took something of the Greek designs
md later the Roman, though very much
hanged. OH mniny early coins the fable of
.he wolf suckling the twins is repeated, but
t requires a very ingenious amount of num
amatic acquaintance to discover it. This
murious diversi m in art Is shown by Evanis
n his "Ancient British Coins." Originally
.he fine coinage of Phillip was used as type
a Britain, but gradually worse copies being
nado from bad imitations, in time all sem
3lane of the stater was lost, until only the
,rown, throwhig locks, and an ear became
visible. There is nothing more remarkable
,han this transition in art from the really
nblime to the ludicrous. Those barbarians
vho invaded Macedonia after Alexander,
hough having Greek art constantly before t
heir eyes, did exactly the same thing as the
'arly in 's. Of ancient British coins
here are two examples, of Anglo-Saxon
uoney some 12. There is a Danish silver
>enny of Cnut or Canute, both rare and fle;
>t William the Conqueror there are three
xamples, the Wi'llam being rendered, as
s usual, Pillem Rex, both P and V having
men use' I or V. There Is a rare silver
>enny of Rufus, which both Ruding and
Inwkins have declared to ie authentic, for
L has always been more or less troublesome
o make exact, differences between the mon
y of the Conquerer and his illfated son.
Ato Plantagenet money, reiarkably good
.nld varied; is represented by soe 29 pieces. I
n the first of thercigns of this dynasty the .1
nonnayer struck not only his own name on
he piece, but that of tihe town where the i
oin was issued; after Edward ii., only the I
own appears. in tIe Tudors there are 35
aeces. The No. 44, a shilling of Edward e
TI., 1549, is the earliest piece in the col- I
'etion which hears a date, but the Edward's
>f 1517 also hmd the ditte. The No. 51 of .a
lie same King, 15,53, a gold sovereign or t
louble rial, is the first dated English gold
oin. There are some good examples of
ammered monicy. The Stuart collection,
vith Oliver Cromwell and the Common
vealth, with the Stuart Pretenders, is large
ad of exceeding interest. The No. 70, a
ames 1. gold rose to riil, though a flat
lece, is distinguishable for its art, showing
hat iclief is not always necessary in order
r produce effects. There are numerous
leces of Charles I. which are very good,
nd in excellent preservation. The No. 86,
shilling, is a fine type of Briot's skill. I
here is an exceedingly rare piece, a silver
ound of Charles I., 1642; also one of the e
nmie date of a half.pound. As it is often
tated that the pound is an Imaginary unit,
is worth while calling attention to these a
wo pieces. There are always som good v
ileces of the time of Oliver Cromwell, the
vork of a dye-sinker called Sion. It is, 0
ierhaps, strange that this name recalls a t
amous Greek ar.tist, who left his impress
ii the finest of all Greck coins, the money t
,f Syracuse. There is a strange bit of num- t
mutic his.tory attached to these coins of
,romwell and the Coummonlwmealtlhi Haw- I
ins. the author of "Tle Silver Coins of -
ingiaid," an excellent -book of reference,
aft out in his work all mention of Crom
mell, for he wias in 1841, when his book V
vas prInted, too good a royalist to al.low
hat the greatest Commoner of the world
ad ever existed at all. No. 118. a gold
wo-guinen piece of Charles 11., is a rare
iece, Tiho guinea was introduced when
{ew-Netherlands was taken from the Dutch. e
n this department of the collection there b

ouls XIV., (or was it lils wig?) the King r

arp. The Hanovarian succession, of p
ourse, is very full, and has innumerable, I

Onastronmes In the Tyrol..
Tfhroughiout South Germany the English r
raveler is apt to complain of the prominent a
>lace wvhich veal occupies among gastrono- g
ale materials, and Tyrol is no exception
o the rule. It must be said, however, f
hat much ingenuity is displayed in varying t
lie forms in which it appears. Moreover, y
is a fact that other kinds of aninal food
re obutainable. Beef is tolerable, ham anid f
'aconf are miuch better than an Englishman, f
vhto is ap~t to think that swine's flesh Is t
uncatable on the Continent, wvould suppose.
~hamois, when fresh (which it seldom is. t
hat served at tables ('hoto being preserved hi
rom the p~revious winter in picklc), and j
oc are yory tolerable. But it is in her
mdhigs that the Tyroleso cobk displays
ecr genius. M. Albert Wolff, Frenchman '
hough lie is, hats rendered homage to the ~
xelence of the Tyrol mnehlspcisen, and C
heir variety is Inexhaustible. Let not the
english hotusewife, however, hope to "pick fi
mp a wrinkle," unless she be one wvho can ii
ontemplate wvithoumt dismay the use of a a
lozen eggs and a pint of cream to a single
ish. It is on the unlimited supply of the e
ngredienits, as well as on her own skill, a
hat the Tyrolese cook relies. In the mat- 1
er of drmk the strangers wvIll fare 'is evoll a1
,s elsewhere. Just as In Switzerland, thero
.re two kids of wine-red amid white- I
>oth very decent when not too new; but j
hey are not, as in Switzerland, bottled and i
zbolled according to the price which the z
onsumer wish,.s to pay. Till recently,
lie regular measure was the #citel, about
wvo-thirds of a pint ; but of late years the t
ire and Its fractions have come into goe a
al use. ..
