But passing through a back passage an hour later, Bryan w as astonished to find a young person, half hidden in a huge apron, in his arms: to feel the fond pressure of soft anus around his neck, the • touch of a velvet cheek to >t his. '• "Hallo!" he criod. falling back a step. J "Oh, Bryan don't you know me?" "Bee!" "be gasped. "No. Matilda Jane, the cook." she j corrected, with a soft laugh.

Bryan glowered at the bare wall a minute; then a smile suddenly spread over hit face, and be went back to the drawing-room whistling cheerfully. The dinner w ai faultlessly cooked and served andtafter it w as ovor and her mother came ofit. Insisting on washing the > diahes. tired Bee bathed her face, pot ou a fresh, w hite gown, and taking a book, sought the solitude of lbs shrubbery. She climbed to ber favorite scat iu the fork of an old applo-tree and had been there long enough to get rested and cook when a gentleman camo sauntering through the shady sweetness of the old orchard. Bee did not see htm ipUme to run away, or even get down frora^er peceh and sat still and almost breaBrie«a. hoping be would pass by without seeing ber.

He interrupted her thoughts. -May 1 have an apple?" 1 "If vou like them so green." ' Encouraged by ber friendliness, the ' gentleman drew hearer, and their ac- ' iquaintanoo progressed rapidly.

Tbe Enreptas Tteor. The same reasoning which led to abain the end of the world and to a deaire to return to a' primitive state of society, leads also to Nihilism; only, as J Nihilists look for nothing from divine , justice, the existence of which tbey^e. | it is not fire seat from heaven, but . i the avenging flame of petroleum that is i destined to destroy the present social , order. Tbe Utopian schemes of Owen. Fourrier, Cabei. and Louis Blanc all failed; the difficulty of carrying out economic reform has been proved by . , scienoe and by facts; must we then wait . till the gradual spread of education and r of equality improves, by slow degrees, the present situation?

A rrencli man's Estimate of Us. 1 The more I see ami mix with the ' Americans, says l>e Bacourt, the more ■ difficult do I find it to pass judgment upon them, owing to the great variety ' of types. The Northerner is very diffor1 ent 'from the Dative of the Middle States. 1 The Northerner, who is styled a Yankee. is of the English type, wilh which ' are combined the shnrpness and skill of | the Jew — this mixture of pride, of cold1 ness and of Britanuic stiffness with II e1 brew aculenes* making the Yankee a ' unique personage. The Yankees are 1 English at heart, despite the scorn which 1 the English show for thrtn. They go to England to acquire their tastes, their • manners, their customs, their fashions. ' and even their aversion to France aud the French. Much more civilized than ' their Southern countrymen, they approve of an aristocracy and all Ihe | gradations of rank which the English ' approve of. and in what is called New • England not many changes would be r required to establish there a form at government simitar to that of Old En- , s'"8- : The Great Uskicksd. It has horn maintained by ocrtain , philosophers that all men are born wilh 1 the aamc inlel tacts; a writer in a London journal believes thai it is a far safer indnction from experience that all porsons . [ on coming into the'world possess an ' equal quanlily af oouocll, which somohow or olber'has" to be taken out of | them. There is only one prooeas, he . ' sava which can prove efl'ectual for this ' purpose, and those who do not submit ' , to it remain souroos of discomfort to ! . Ihrmseivea aud dissatisfaction to their frllow-ctvaturcs to tbe end of the chap- ' , ter. Unless a given amount of that ' moral and physical discipline which is , best slimmed tip in the familiar word "kicking" i« gone throigh. tbe human i ! male will n-main ever unregcneratc. for ' kicking is to the phrsdcal what baptism : 1 is to lis- -piritnal man.

A Gall Bird. Old Man Franklin, fafherof tbe goals living. He was passing down Wheal street yesterday earning in his hand a curiotuly-aliapcd bird cage in which a young mocking bird was screechaway for dear lif e. ■ i ••How* tuueh lor tbe singer?" aaksd a \ t "Thu is my call bird; be is not for sale," responded the old man. • -What ao you do with him?" queried the acribe. "He calls np the other birds and I ' catch them in this trap." was the reapunse. "Did you never soe a trap like . this?" asked the old man. The reporter confessed that he bad never beheld such sn affair, and the old man got down eo his knees on the sidewalk, and "set" the trap. Tbe trap consisted of a wire cage, about half as large aa a caudle-box. and slanting to a pAint at tbe top like tbe roof of a house. On each aide waa a wing made of network, and attached to the lower aides of the cage bj-itnl# hinges and operated by stoutwpringa Three wings were passed out. and a trigger was set to bold them in position. Tlie young bird was put inside of the cage to scream ana act as scalier. The idea waa to let the Jollity, bird call the old one. As soon as an old one would fly down to lbs cage and light on the trigger, the wing would fly "It ncverfails," remarked the old man n* he eprung the trigger, and the wing doted against the etae of the cage with "Do you catch many birds?" asked "I caught over forty mocking birds last year with this trap. I have just started for this year, but I caught two Saturday and sold them for «6." The .,1,1 man 5s about blind, and goes | into the wumIs and fields picking his i w ay nli.ug until lie hears the silvery 1 song of tee mocking hinl. Then he sets hi- trap and stays around until he hears , the wings of the trap spring together, j Sometimes he spends Jialf a day around i oue spot.
