" What , the fellow you got the grant from the Benevolent Society for last year V " The same—be was a sort of cousin of my uncle . " You know he became a Grecian , went to Oxford , having won an Exhibition from the School ; married , I have understood , before he was in Orders , and indeed whilst ho was at Oxford . I think she was a jihotograjfiier's assistant , or something of that sort thoroughly respectable , you know , but of somewhat lowly origin .

Ta-ta , old fellow ; " and off wont Fitz , but speedily came back again , saying : — " Forgot to toll you Mabel goes to morrow , and my uncle said he should be glad to see us both in there to-night to tea . " " Thanks , " said Mark , foolishly flushing with pleasure like a raw boy;— " I'll come , with pleasure . "
" And as to the presentation , " ho added , " I know our chief is connected with some very big bugs—and , as I am rather a favourite with him , I'll see what I can do . No doubt some of his people can do the job . " So saying , the two friends shook hands cordially , and Fitz , saying he had some engagement Citywards , bid his friend adieu , and Mark went back to his desk , put his papers away for the day , and went into the office of the Chief of the Department , who
had a cousin an earl , and a brother a baronet , but who was one of the cpiietest and most retiring of men , and hated to bring up his grand relations .

TIME'S FLIGHT .
" WHAT is Time ? fair Fanny asics me , " And what ' s its flight ? 0 Mentor , say ! " ' 'Time , clear Fanny , does not pain thee , Though its hours slip away ; Time , 0 fairy , full of graces !—Time is what I can ' t explain ' : Time , no doubt , has many paces , But for thee Time flits in vain .
" Time is— . what is not Time 1 —truly Everything thou here ean ' st know—For Time , of all things , most unruly , A ever halts—will ever go ! Time is but the flight of hours—Time is but the gift of pain ;—Time is naught but weaken'd
powers—Time can never eome again ! "Yes ! Time ' s flight , 0 jlleasant maiden , Is but a memory of thee ! Time , with sorrow-hours laden , Is but a gracious dream to me !
