ABOUT FREE MASONRY, 
fashioned garden, where the tea-table was set 
out at her especial request, Miss Travers de¬ 
clared herself enchanted with everything. And 
then, for a city belle and heiress as she was, she 
behaved with such pretty humility, leaving the 
place of honor which had been prepared for her 
to Miss Fairlight, and seating herself on the 
stepB leading up lo the parlor window with Liz¬ 
zie and Anne, and talking to these two abashed 
school-girls ia such a simple, natural way, that 
in five minutes they felt at home with her; and 
Maurice, bringing her tea cup thither, forgot to 
go back for his own, and actually bad to be re¬ 
minded three times that he had not done so. 
And then, tea over, Miss Travers herself pro¬ 
posed a game of hide-and-seek, for which she 
declared the garden, with Its shady alleys, and 
leafy arbors, and overgrown shrubberies, was 
exactly fitted. And so attractive did the game 
prove, that dusk had long passed, and a glori¬ 
ous, broad harvest moon was sparkling on the 
dewey grass, before the players were willing to 
taste Mrs. Ruehtou’s syllabub, and prepare for 
their return home. 
Of course Maurice must, see them safe to the 
Hall, and although the distance was not long, it 
was well he did so, for on jumping from the 
second stile, in their way through the parsonage 
meadows to the park. Miss Travers sprained her 
ankle, and without the aid of his arm she conld 
not possibly have reached the Hall. The pain 
and the fright made her quite pale; she leaned 
heavily on her protector, and then 6he apolo¬ 
gized in faint accents for doing so. She hud 
taken off her hat, declaring that It shaded her 
eyes too much, and she had tied her white laced 
handkerchief over her head. Maurice thought 
it marvelously becoming, (which, of course, 
Miss Travers never thought of herself,) and he 
became every hour more and more “ bamboo¬ 
zled,” as Rachel would have said. 
What with the moonlight and the sprained 
ankle, and the faintness which caused his com¬ 
panion to speak in whispers, and obliged him to 
stoop over her in order to hear what she said, 
Maurice was certainly in a very dangerous posi¬ 
tion. No wonder that he lost his head and said 
some very impassioned things, which Miss 
Travers’ faintness did not prevent her under¬ 
standing, since she permitted him to take her 
hand and kiss It as they stood together in the 
portico, whilst Miss Fairlight and Letty bad 
gone on before to prepare madam’s nerves for 
the sprained ankle. 
How Maurice got home again he uever knew, 
although his mother suggested it must have 
been on liis head, since that member was so 
completely turned topsy-turvy that he had no 
other answer to give to her question, “ Wouldhe 
eat auy supper? ” than “Yes, mother, she was 
very tired.” 
It was not till three days after that Captain 
John came home. He had been busy, he said, 
recruiting far and near, for men were in such 
request that His Royal Highness had promised 
his company to any subaltern officer who should 
bring a hundred men to the depot of his regi¬ 
ment; and desertion had so increased that new 
and stringent rules had been issued respecting 
it. Every deserter henceforward should be 
shot; and every man, woman and child who 
harbored such were to be imprisoned, fined, or 
whipped, according to the aggravations of the 
offense. At which severity the ladies, to whom 
the captain in peremptory military phrase an¬ 
nounced it, turned pale, 
“Shot! that is dreadful!” sighed madam. 
“Surely, John, if soldiers arc so much wanted, 
it is a sad waste of men, too.” 
“Not at all, mother,” he replied. “You don’t 
see it. For every man we shoot as an example, 
we save fifty deserters, at least.” 
“Oh, hut a life is too precious to be taken for 
such a slight cause,” said madam. 
Captain John shrugged his shoulders — it was 
a habit he had learned abroad. His was not 
exactly the profession to teach him the value of 
human life, 
Just then the door opened and Miss Travers 
came in. She gave a start of surprise on seeing 
the captain, which was really quite natural con¬ 
sidering that she had 6een the young gentleman 
riding up the avenue, and had, in consequence, 
tied a fresh bow of blue ribbon amongst her 
curls before she descended. 
Rachel Bectson waited at the supper-table 
that night — au honor which Rachel very rarely 
paid her master and mistress; but she had given 
both the maids leave to he out at a wedding- 
party in the village, and Michael was but an 
awkward country lout, and not by any means to 
be trusted with the handling of the best, china 
bowl, in which Rachel had prepared such curds 
and cream as she opined would considerably 
impress the London guest; so that the house¬ 
keeper, in her best gown and cap, mounted guard 
over the precious heirloom, setting it on the 
table and removing it again with her own bauds, 
and making diligent use of her own eyes and 
cars at the same time. 
The result of all this was, that the atmosphere 
of Rachel's temper, which had been particularly 
stormy of late, suddenly cleared up in snch a 
remarkable manner that she smiled at the maids 
who expected a scolding, when she Jet them in 
a full half-hour after the time to which she had 
limited them, and, in the solitude of her room, 
permitted such vagaries as were very unusual 
with the staid, sober housekeeper of Fairlight 
Hull; for instance, she stood before the empty 
fire-place for full five minutes, laughing to her¬ 
self, and nodding her sagacious head repeatedly; 
then she rubbed her hands softly together, say¬ 
ing as she. did so— 1 “Eh, my bonny bird, my 
little lady, I shall make your wedding-cake yet, 
I will.”—[To be continued.] 
By-and-by Angela’6 
setting itself up very fast, 
quick sobs ceased ; she sat up in her chair and 
threw back the hair which had lallen over her 
forehead. 
“ Now tell me all about it,” said Rachel, com¬ 
ing round to her side. 
Angela caught the big, brown band, redolent 
of rosemary, and laying her cheek down upon 
it, whilst the sobs come again quicker than ever, 
she choked out, “Oh, Rachel, I shall die; I 
shall die! ” 
Then Rachel took the little head and laid it on 
her bosom, and rocked it backwards and for¬ 
wards, uttering tender words and nursery epi¬ 
thets of love, jnst as she had been wont to do 
eighteen years ago. And, Indeed, the child she 
had nursed then was only a child still, simple 
and tender, quite unversed In the world’s ways 
—not at all a match for the artful, experienced 
coquette, who was playing with the child’s heart¬ 
strings Just for a passing hour of amusement, 
and for the satisfaction of her heartless vanity. 
“Now, don't ye speak a wal'd,” said Rachel, 
pleasantly, when the little lady was soothed and 
quieted; “I know all about it, and a burning 
&hame it is. I haven’t an ounce of patience with 
him, the stupid blunderhead.” 
“Rachel!" cried Angela, sitting holt upright 
in a minute, her eyes flashing through her tears, 
“ you know as well os I do, only you like to be 
unjust, that it Is not his fault. I am very angry 
with you, Rachel.” And she looked so. 
Rachel walked back again to her tabic. She 
liked this mood of Angela’s a great deal better 
than her tears and sorrow ; hut, although in her 
heart she blamed Maurice Rush t on very much 
for so slighting her darling, Ehe would not vex 
the child by sayiog it auy more. She went on 
sorting her herbs, uncosclously puckering up 
her mouth as she did so. The action Irritated 
Angela. 
“ Why don’t you say what you think at once, 
Rachel! ” she exclaimed, petulantly. 
Warned by her previous venture, Rachel con¬ 
fined herself this time to one object of her 
displeasure. 
“ It’s all that Miss Travers—1 don’t like her 
ways! ” said she; “ and Rachel tied up her bunch 
of eweet tnajoram with as vicious a jerk as if 
the string had been round Miss Travers’ neck. 
“I saw her yesterday looking up into his face, 
and making her eyes all sorts of ehapes for 
him,” she continued. “ I tell you what she is, 
Miss Angela; she’s one of these nasty London¬ 
ers; they’re all show, and airs and tricks. 1 
know them; Iv’e seen them before. And the 
worst of it is, they get round the men with their 
coaxing, showy ways, that they seem to go just 
mad about them, as if they was bewitched.” 
“Oh dear, oh dear!” sighed Angela; what 
Shall Ido?" 
“I’ll tell ye what to rio, birdie,” returned 
Rachel, briskly. “ Hold up your head and look 
scornful, and don’t let him think you care about 
him a bit, and he doesn’t deserve it either, to 
be so weak of head as not to see that my bonny 
little lady is worth fifty times more auy day 
than a-" 
Rachel’s imagination had mastered her pru¬ 
dence again, as she felt when Angela gathered 
up her little figure, aud walked straight out of 
the room. 
“There, now," said honest Rachel, “Iv’cjust 
sent her away vexed, when the poor ebild came 
to me for a word of comfort. Only I’m vexed 
myself to see what fools the men he; and the 
lad ’6 a good lad too, if ho could only sec how he 
is being bamboozled. Aud Iv’e watched the 
two of them growing up together, so fond and 
so pretty-looking; and I knowhow my darling s 
heart is set on the lad, and he so sorry to leave 
her, and so glad to come back to her, and how 
I should like to shake that, Miss Travers, I 
should!” 
Which expressieu of feeling, given with much 
vigor, considerably relieved Rachel’s mind. 
Meantime Angela found her way to her own 
room. She was very angry with Rachel for 
daring to blame Maurice, and this anger acted 
like a counter-irritant and did her good. More¬ 
over, it was a tonic to her sorrow, and braced 
her up. Ill as she had taken Rachel’s advice, 
she nevertheless found herself half-unconsciously 
acting [upon it. When Maurice came in from 
his nutting expedition with Miss Fairlight and

INDIAN SUMMER, 
An estimate of the number of Free Masons in 
various parts of the world has recently been 
made by an English writer. There are nearly 
eleven hundred lodges under the control of the 
Grand Lodge of England; of this nnraber, some 
one. hundred and seventy are in London, or 
within ten miles of the great Free Mason’s Hail 
in that metropolis; over five hundred and sixty 
are scattered over other parts of England and 
Wales. Rutlandshire has none, Bedfordshire 
but three, while Lancashire has nearly one hun¬ 
dred. There are others in the Channel Islands, 
India—there are ten in Calcutta—Cape of Good 
Hope, West Indies, North and South America, 
Australia, New Zealand. The 1st, Oth, 12th, 14th, 
31st and 89th regiments of foot, in the British 
army, have lodges attached to their respective 
corps. In addition to these, there are nearly 
one thousand Royal Arch chapters under the 
same jurisdiction. In the above numbers, are 
not, of course, Included lodges in Scotland and 
Ireland, each of which countries has its own 
grand lodge. In round numbers, there are 
about, one million and a quarter of free and ac¬ 
cepted Masons scattered upon the face of the 
globe. Of this number, some one hundred and 
fifty thousand are English Masons, one hundred 
thousand Scotch, and fitly thousand Irish. There 
are about six hundred thousand on the continent 
of Europe ; half of that number in the United 
States, and fifty thousand in other parts of the 
world. In England there are two or three thou¬ 
sand persons initiated each year. 
Just after the death of the flower*, 
And before they are buried in snow, 
There come* a festival season, 
When natnre is ail aglow— 
Aglow with a mystical splendor 
That rivals the brightness of spring— 
Aglow with a beauty more tender 
Than aught which fair summer conld bring. 
Some Spirit akin to the rainbow 
Then borrow* its magical dyes, 
And mantle* the far-spreading landscape 
In hues that bewilder the eye*, 
The sun, from hie cloud-pillowed chamber, 
Smiles soft on a virion so gay, 
And dreams that his favorite children. 
The flowers, have not yet passed away. 
There's a luminous mist on the mountains, 
A light, azure haze in the air, 
As if angels, while heavenward soaring, 
Had left their bright robot floating there. 
The breeze is so eoft, bo caressing. 
It seems a mute token of love. 
And float* to the heart like a blessing 
From eome happy spirit above. 
These days, so serene and *o charming, 
Awaken a dreamy delight— 
A tremulous, tearful enjoyment, 
Like soft strains of music at night; 
We know they arc- fading and fleeting, 
That quickly, too quickly, they’ll end, 
And we watch them with yearning affection. 
As at parting wo watch a dear friend. 
Oh 1 beautiful Indian Summer! 
Thou favorite child of the year— 
Thou darling, whom Nature encircles 
With gifts and adornments so dear 1 
How fain would we woo thee to linger 
On mountain and meadow awhile, 
For eur hearts, like the sweet haunts of Nature, 
Rejoice and grow young lu thy smile. 
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn 
Doet thou a lost brightness restore. 
But thou bringeet a world-weary spirit 
Sweet dreams of Its childhood once more. 
Thy loveliness thrills us with memories 
Of all that was brightest and best; 
Thy peace and serenity offer 
A foretaste of heavenly rest.

A STORY OF LOVE AND WAR, 
[Continued from page 853, last No.] 
CHAPTER. II. 
“Rachel, 1 want to talk to you,” said Angela 
to Rachel Beetson, the morning after the harvest 
home. 
Rachel Beetson was Angela’s foster-mother, 
and Angela was Rachel’s idol, the very light of 
her eyes and the delight of her heart. The 
squire and Rachel alike worshiped Angela, and 
that she was not utterly rained by their alternate 
flattery and indulgence was entirely owing to 
the balance of character having been preserved 
by madam’s strict spirit of impartiality. 
This morning the dignified lady of Fairlight 
was decidedly cross. Captain John still re¬ 
mained invisible, greatly to the surprise of hi6 
uninitiated family, and soon after breakfast 
Maurice Rushton made his appearance at the 
Hall to Inquire after tlio health of the ladies. 
And he had brought with him such glowing ac¬ 
counts of early ripe nuts, to l>e found in a cer¬ 
tain coppice not more than a mile from the Hall, 
that Miss Travers was seized with the strongest 
desire to go thither aud look for some, never 
having, she declared, seen nuts growing in her 
life, and having always longed to go nutting. 
Miss Fairlight was in duty hound to attend her 
guest, and Miss Letty being required at home, 
the party of three—Miss Travers, Miss Fairlight, 
and Maurice—started off' with much glee on 
their expedition. 
Madam’s cross lit did not improve after their 
departure: it even 6eemed to get worse; 6he 
rated Angela, who was tired and dispirited, 
so severely for idleness and inattention, that 
good-natured Letty at last whispered to the 
poor child to go and lie down in her chamber, 
and she would finish tying on all the Holland 
covers by herself. Whereupon Angela sought 
her foster-mother. 
Rachel was culling herbs — rosemary, thyme, 
mint, and sweet majoram — to tie up for winter 
store. Scarcely raising hand or eye from the 
herb-bed she replied to Angela’s announcement, 
“ Talk on then, my bird.” Bnt when for answer 
there came only a sob, Rachel looked up quickly, 
and then stepped on at onceto the graveled path. 
“Eh, what’s this?” she cried, “what ails the 
little lady ? ” for such was the title given to An¬ 
gela amongst the tall sons and daughters of her 
house — given in fondness at first by the squire 
himself, and adopted at last insensibly by the 
whole household. 
Rachel got no answer save another sob, and 
another again, so tucking her darling’s arm un¬ 
der her own, she turned back to the house, and 
entering her own snug retreat by the long win¬ 
dow, which she had thrown up to go out by, 
she seated her companion in the one arm-chair 
belonging to the room; then

Answer to Arithmetical Problem:—27 3-10and 28.!,;. 
Kate Travers, all in high spirit 
with his pockets full of nuts, which he emptied 
into Miss Travers’ lap, Angela was able to main¬ 
tain a dignified indifference, and to look out of 
the window, near which she sat with her em¬ 
broidery work in her hand, with an admirably 
simulated air of unconcern. 
People dined early in those days, and although 
Maurice lingered through the rest of the morn¬ 
ing, cracking nuts and talking, madam allowed 
him to go away without pressing her usually 
free hospitality upon him. But in the afternoon 
— a sunny September afternoon — Miss Travers 
proposed a stroll through the village, which she 
had not yet seen, and as they passed the parson¬ 
age gate who should ho standing at it but 
Maurice himself! and he would have Miss Fair- 
light and Miss Letty walk in and shake hands 
with his mother, and tell Lizzie and Anue that 
madam would forgivo them now that they had 
suffered the due punishment ol' their offence. 
And Mrs. Rushton tempted them with promises 
of tea cakes, made fresh that morning, and new 
honey from the comb, just brought in from the 
hives; so that a messenger was dispatched to 
the Hall to say that the young ladies would take 
their tea at the parsonage, if madam would be 
pleased to send a maid down to see them home 
at dusk, whereat Angela, who had declined to 
accompany the party, had again much to endure 
from the unusual nulling of madam’s temper. 
Miss Travers was charmed with the parsonage, 
which Maurice, poor, infatuated mortal! took 
as a personal;compliment, and Mrs, Rushton, in 
her simplicity, believed. From the dairy, where 
she drank a bowl of such cream as never passed 
her London-bred lips before, to the sweet old-
