gSf erned passion made perpetual discord IWWeea the inmates of that elegant mansion? BtigJj were the parents of Mrs. Le Bar roll, and such the sentiments they had Exhibited and taught her to act upon frt»m he* childhood. Truly they had ••sown the wind," and the terrible har veffc *ap ripening fast. Before Mrs. Le Barren's insane ex travagance her husband's wealth melted lute frost before the snii. He saw the riohes for which he had forsaken his father's God "taking to themselves vrtngs," and the position among his broth er merchants, whose foundations he had bid ia sand, was already crumbling &my. and tottering to its fall. Sleepless filghts and days of dread were silvering hie hair and bowing the tall form that once towered so erect above his fellows. Be was a prexnature old man. When Mr. Newton weht abroad, Le Barren's anxieties were almost too weighty for him to preserve the sem blance of self control. It was said Le Bar ton was confining himself too closely to his business, and Mr. Newton with his u&ual tmselftphneßS proposed that he would remain at home and that the in valid should hate the advantage of the change. Ah, little could Mr. Newton im agine the shock this, kisd proposition gave him. The miserable ffiaa knew that to leave then would be swift destruc tion, revealing at one© the fearful posi tion of his own affairs. But still able to preserve an outward calm he courteously declined the prof- fered relaxation on the plea of great dis taste for trayelite. and with an earnest assurance that his With was firmer than, Ms appearance indicated he smilingly! bacle hi» mend farewell. Le Barron struggled through the first year of his frieaa% absence", knowing surely that this absence and the unsus picious nature of the junior partner aloao saved him from speedy exposure. In this state the grand temptation fotmd him. Ooaded to madness he joined hands with the tempter an,d fell, gaining for himself one more short respite from clamorous creditors by a clever forgery ot Mr. Newton's namej And now he goes lo tell this fatal story to those whose tins have united to drag Mm down to ir retrievable destruotioa. Etankruptt Dis honored! A forgerl Fugitive ftom jus tic© or oaly sgiemed by him whom he b>3 p^uwaiw f#^ yet boosing in his own heart'tn&butiißhns^nt of m critnes, bt>y? can lie ejiduJ & the terribly meeting ■ wlththose harsh spirits at hoale?

We cannot describe the terror of that Boene, and surely we would not if we c6tdd, tfc would bo like standing by the mouth of the pit. It waa the fgw words $t this dreadful scene that Lillian and Eose heard which sent them bewildered and frightened home to their p&rifcnfa. i*oor Le !Barron sank into a chair at tp.Q first outburst of his wilp's passion, stunned ana moaning like one in a fear ful dream.

CHAPTIER V. Edward NeWton at 20 vas left m or phan with, a fine education, but almost penniless, fete parents were hoping to VM him established in some profession Congenial tq his refined and intellectual tastes, but their sudden death changed all his prospects and compelled him to look tot some employment that should provide at once for immediate wants, A distant relative offered him a situa tion in his store far beneath that which, "without Vanity, he might have hoped for. But with an unusual degree or good, practical common sense for one so young ac aCSepted the offer at once, knowing •§iat ho had energy and knowledge that ■#otild enable him to rise rapidly if he was faithful to his trust. A very few weeks sufficed to show Mr. Stanly thai the new clerk was greatly superior to his position, but the old gen tleman was. cautiotis and suspicious and had no intention of making any hasty chapge. He had given Edward his pres ent occupation because of favors received many years ago from the young man's father, when 9tanly greatly needed a friend, and for this ne had felt compelled to offer the position to his son, if but to satisfy his own conscience. "Then," he thought, "if he proves capable and hon est I will help him to make his owa way into a good business. But should I find him unworthy I am bound by no prom ise and can easily drop him and let him pass from my thoughts." But Edward was soon too valuable to be discarded, and added to natural endow ments his life was a peculiarly sweet ex emplification of Christian faith and prac tice. His father was simply a moral man, making no pretense to any reli giouS motive for being, as he truly was, isn example of sterling honesty and un-; pinching integrity. His own conscience feore witness that he never oppressed the poor; that the widow and fatherless could bring no charges against him. even in thought, for fraud or extortion. When Mi*. Stanly gave Edward a chance to work, he considered all in debtedness for kindness received from his parents as fully canceled. He liked the young man, and after some months' acquaintance came as near loving him as was prudent in a business man. Ho wotild be well pleased to scf him sue-

cessful, but if he proved so while in hte employ it was, after giving him the situ ation, simply a business operation, and ©very upward step henceforth must be paid for in care and profitable labor. Step by step he slowly increased his salary and his labors also. When after four years of faithful toil Edward New ton had made himself so necessary to the interests of his employer that it became but selfish policy to offer him a partner ship in the establishment, Mr. Stanly was at heart realty rejoiced that his cousin's son had proved so worthy and had so faithfully earned the promotion. When received into this partnership, Mr. Newton's next step was to secure a home for himself. The idea of his mar riage was distasteful to Mr. Staniy. "Still," said he,' 'my rule has always been to leave each man to act and judge for himself and then abide the conse quences." In his heart he whispered: "Foolish boy, when he was doing so well too! He will lose all he has gained now. Had I known of this marriage, I should have waited awhile before receiving him as a partner. But I shall watoh more closely than ever, and if I detect one false move I must drop him. Shall be really sorry to do it, though. I must be growing childish. Edward has crept nearer nay heart than I thought any one could," and the old merchant's face showed a ten derer feeling than it had worn since childhood. But when Mr. Newton wedded Lucy Dale and presented her to Mr. Stanly her gentle, womanly manners quite won the hard old man's heart, a,nd not many years passed before he urged them to take up their abode with him, that he might at last realize some of the true Joys of home. A few years under Lucy s pure influence added to her husband's truly Christian but unobtrafiiye teaching, by God's blessing, softened the worldly heart, and when, "like a shock of corn fully ripe," Mr. Stanly waß gathered to his fathers hid large possessions, after some affectionate legacies, were divided among judicious charities and promised long to be blessings to many, Mr. Stanly I®s no near kindred, and the elegant dwelling and grounds, where he had passed a lonely life till his youir; friends brought joy and sunshine into it, he bequeathed toMre. Newton, "a thank offering for the lore she had shown him and the good she had done him." This was the magnificent place so poorly de scribed at the commencement of this story remodeled and improved by its present owner's correct taste until the •tern grandeur of the original building had grown into its now harmonious pro portions. Let the reader become better acquaint ed with Mr. Newton's household before we intrude upon them when assembled in the pleasant study. Lillian, the eldest, her mother's sum mer child, was born when the birds and roses of June filled the air with melody and fragrance. Tall and graceful at 24, she has her mother's figure, but with more quiet and . repose of manner. Her dark golden brown hair is twined in heavy braids around her head, requiring no other ornament than the single rose bud George has just placed there. The twins—Rose and Ralph—next younger than George, are always the first to attract attention on entering a room when the family are together. A more lovely tableau oould hardly be found. Imagine a bright, petite figure, with eyes that would be black were they not ever too full of hope and joy, the perfection of a woman's head adorned with woman's crowning glory—a mag nificent mantle of hair, the color of which, whether let down, as was Ralph's teasing custom, to ripple in beautiful waves to her tiny feet, or bound in careless grace about her head, was made by any changing light or posi tion equally uncertain as her eyes. So far this may carry an outline for fancy to fill, but farther we may not ven ture. The most consummate artist could but faintly convey the charm, tlfe sweetness of Rose Newton's face. Her character was fresh and original. She inherited from her father a singular com mand of choice and appropriate lan guage and from both parents a well bal anced mind that cultivation had richly stored,, but the sprightly humor, the brilliant and ohoioe wit, the playful rep artee, belonged to herself alone, or if shared by any her twin brother, Ralph.,, might claim a partnership. At lo\ in form and features, the brother anck sis ter were singularly alike, but no w* when' nearly 20, Ralph's figure had developed, into more manly'beauty and towered j high above his sister. In mental endowments Rose had tried 1: to keep near him in her studies, and j while he surpassed her in strength and vigor of expression she far outshone M^j in brilliancy. Alfred, the youngest, a lad of 15, v /as quite sedate—not as much given to, the boisterous amusements, of boyhood J»as for his health's sake his, parents coul^ have wished, yet always ready to leav c books or his pleasant dreamings to jjoblige or gratify another. In person he had eyes of morre striking beauty than those already introduced, but there, were strange glances at times, recalling often some of the,.peculif,*r traits of all. Lillian's serene repose, George's outspoken, decided tones, Ralph's impet uousity when aroused, as well as Rose's glad, merry laugh, were all .manifest or mingled in his various moo' 3& But there were a thoughtful serioimaeßs, a deep fount of tenderest loveanA entire unself ishness, that were peouliar to himself and made him, the youngest, the especial darling of all. In each heart he was cherished as the one whose talents would some day be the glory of their name. When they first spoke of the change in prospect, they had cheerfully accepted the consequent labor and self denial be fore them, but in each heart was the settled purpose that Alfred's opportuni ties for developing all the powers with which he seemed endowed should not be in any respect curtailed. Eustace Dunbar had for years been one of the household. He was the son of a dear friend of Mr. Newton's, and at his father's death had been committed to his kind care. Guardian of the son and ex-

" A report conies from the district of Wagunyah N.S.W., of a settler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin ia use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic itf.iO, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sats in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
