ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY

The annual meeting took place this after noon, when the Secretary sabmittod the usual report. It set out by stating that the total receipts had been £790 11s 2d, thus showing au increase of nearly £50 over the receipts of last year. The game licenses had vicliled £553, being £64 in excess of the sum"realised iv 1879. There had been a slight increase uudcr the head of sales of birds and plants, but a decrease iv both ad mission fees and members' subscriptions. A larce expenditure had been incurred in connection with the Gardens during tho year, and the result had perhaps hardly aniwered the anticipations of the Council, although the Gardens had been kept in a fairly attractive condition. It was hoped that during ensuing years it might be found practicable to reduce the large expenditure upon the ornamental part of tho garden, so that funds might be avail able for the introduction and establishment of plants of economic value. The remainder of the report dealt with white-fish and salmon, brown trout, birds, and seeds. Upon this latter subject it was montioned that except in special cases, the Council proposed that in future the distribution of seecls should be restricted to those people who have special facilities for raising them. The thanks of the Society were tendered to Mr H. Craig and to Messra AY. K. Graham and Co for their services as agents ot the Society at San Francisco and London res pectively. „

THE MYSTERY OF LORD BRACKENBURY: A NOVR

By AMELIA B. EDWARDS.

CHAP PER LIV. STRANGE, IP FORTUITOUS.

No ; there wai evidently nothing wrong with Ccsare Donato. Busy as ho was, be wrote daily, though briefly trom Venice ; and from Trieste despatched a letter written during the trip from port to port. The letters were plain stiaightforward letters enough ; not high-flown, like lovcletttrs in romances ; but simple, and earnest, and full of manly tenderness. Such news as they coutaiued was purely about business. At Venice, everything reminded him of the happy clay they had there together. It was especially deliglnful to him to re member that she had been on board tho Diamante. Slid was now associated with the vessel In his mind for ever. Ho could recall her as iho looked, uh she spoke, on deck; in the saloou; even iv hi* own little cabin and counting-house. It enabled him to realise thb happiuc»s that would hereafter be hii, when her preseucc thero should be not a dream, uot a remembrance, but a blissful reality. H was his consolation, being parted from her, to know that each suuiet brought that happy future one day nearer. Then he told her how r.t Venice he had slipped an unusually heavy cargo, the greater part of which would be imme diately discharged at Trieste ; while at Trieste, he was about to take in goods of delivery at Aucona, Barletta, B»ri, Zantc, aud Smyrna. It had been bis iutcntion to go direct from Tiieste to Bari, and thence to make straight for Smyrna. But man proposes aud trado disposes ; and those new commis sions, beside* delaying bis arrival at Bari till the middle or end of the following week, would add a fortnight or three weeks to bis outward journey. Such was the substanco of bis tirst lettets. He told her in each of them that he was well—quite WC H — never better ; repeating the •tateinent so often and so emphatically that a less unsophisticated correapondent might have Biispected it to bo written with a motive.

La Giuletta, however, had no such suspi cion ; and her content was absolute. That tliere Dad been an affray of some kind that night uudcr tho gateway of tbe Oatoria del Capello was certain; and that 'Tonio Moretti had come to grief in that aflray wan no less certain. But that Cesare Donato was uuhurt—not only unhurt, but entirely unaware of what had taken place—was now quite evident. If it had been his blood ! This was the thought that crossed her mind, whenever she passed tho spot. Tliere was no faintest stain or traco left upon the s'canes ; but she could not lock on them without shuddering. If it had been his blood ! If be had been lound there in the morning, stark ond white, with that knife-blado in his heart I Or if, mortally wounded, ho had been carried away, to die soon af tor in the nearest hospital! And if 'Tonio Moretti's hand had done the deed | . . . .

The girl's heart was heavy with remorse when slic remembered how quick she had been to assume the commission of a deadly crime, and to fix it upon an innocent man. She was, for the time, as «ure of tho fact as if she had scon the blow aimed, and her lover bleeding at her feet. And oh ! the storms of rebellious despair, of passionate hatred, that shook her very soul that terrible morning, while she waited, waited, waited for her Uncle Stefano's return ! With shame and sorrow she remembered those sinful moments. Not till she Bhould have confessed all to I'adro Anselmo ; not till she should have performed some juet and litting penance, could she feel innocent and happy again. Following the letter penned at sea, there next came one written in harbour at Trieste; written, too, in characters bo curiously cramped that La Giuletta did not at first sight recognise her lover's handwriting. The opening lines explained the cause of these crabbed hieroglyphs. Donato had hurt his right hand, and could with difficulty

Z " f\F the making of books therels noend," f '|\y wrote an inspired author in the Infancy of s tho world, thousands of years before the art pre s • servotive of all arts was discovered. But book -15 making now is a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, nowa-days the worla is almost -'em barras dcs rechoases " of learning, " quaint and - olden" and bright and new, embalmed in i, books. And much of thia learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, buoh as Cassell, Petter and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only are the works A issued by these firms of the highest practical "1 use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, s: illustrative of tho remarkable progress that has been made in book illumination. Nothing in • our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home so muoh as good books and pictures. You car 7 form a good idea of a mun from his library » The great difficulty with many in obtaining books of a high olass in nearly every depart ment of literature is the almost prohibitive prlci at which they are issued from tbe press, and i is really a boon to society when works o: )t, admitted excellence aro brought within thi t; roach of persons of moderate means by thi or admirable Ssstem of Time Payments.
