Mr. Crawford, while entirely approving of the decided Blep taken by bis daughter, could not help feehng depressed aBd dts couraged by the tranaaction altogether It seemed to him hke the beginning of a series o! troubles, wb1cb he thought be might be able to bt'nr for h1msel f, but yet ah rank from infi1ohng upon his cluldren, and especially upon her whom he would have protected, almost with his hfe, fron1 any .eacr1fice of !!er dignity, or from any touch that could hurt her delicacy ae a Woman. But Wilham strengthened and sustained his tather even in this. 'How mnch bet· ter,' he said, ' that Lucy should. make the drncovery before marriage than after, that she bad been valued for her fortune more tban for herself i' aud wl:ale he rtjo1ced over hE'r escape from Sli~h a fate, he spoke with no ' measured terms of contempt of the tran·acuon altogether as not wo1tby of a moment's regret. William· had other oares weighrng heavi ly upon h11u-other dttllcu.ties through which be could not see the right way so clearly as in this. Determined as he and and his father y;ere no longer to carry on the business which tbey now regarded as a 'ertile source of evil, it became necessary to die pose of the ' bre~ ery in -some way or other. So long established and ·o profitable a. buf!1ness could scarcely f1nl to continue profltable, for some time at least, into what· ever hands it m1gbt tal1, nod coneec1ucntly ru1~1jt, without doubt, be disposed of to advantage. But Low cou!d such an a1range· men! fall in with that fixed purpose which it was now the great object of Mr Craiyford'· hfe to carry out I lnde~d the d1:ffi.;ulheR presenting then1~ M:l ves every day, and pressing in frGm all quartets, appeared to increase rather than <lim1niab, the wore they were looked into. Neither father nor son felt that any one e]se could very cuaterially asalSt thern in tbe solution of these difficulties. Unless:, indeed, some useful hints might be uUtained from Mr Gordon, who was at length called in to take part in their conaultations He also eat in grave dehberat1on upon ·what waa best to be done, and though not exact ly a man of business, in the practical mean IDR of that expression, he was too much a man of eense not to understand the extreme perplexity m wh1ob the CJawford family were now involved. J:o trJ:t.nsfer the brew· ery to other hands, and AO to wash only their own from the whole matter, leav1ag others to ·arry on whatever mischief they had been doing, would be hnt a cowardly way of discharging tl1e duty lo which thev believed themselve& ~llt:d. \Vhat 1 then, oould be done 1 Mrs. Crawford was conaulted-Lucyeven Henry was IJOt excluded from the family de1iherations : until one evening, as they sate together Jn earnest consultat100 1 Henry s11rpr1sed them all by ·tartwg up with what he declared to be a new idea. '1 have just thought al what to do,' aaid he ; 'make the brewery building into a re· formalory. An industrial acbool attached, with the neceas11ry overlookers1 will employ a great many people upo nthe land round about. Thia will occupy the boys, and within the estabhshment there can be all sorts at work for the girls, with aunts and mothers to look alte:r them.' Lucy looked ai!erltly up m\o her father's face. Indeed tLe "hole party looked inqmringly one at another. The fact of thlB suggestion emant1ng from Htinry did not certarnly add to ita weight ; and yet a hght seemed to flash from one mmd to another; while unimated looks were ex· changed, ao if ~ome ·park of feeling and m- us-1f he had not invited us to put our en· employ a number of the men who bad been tire trusll tn 'Him, a.sour Saviour and Re- diemissed from the brewery, and who, 1n deemer 1 S() that we may, tpleaU hts righteous· · oiany cases unavoidably deprived of ·eirk, neas in asking for the pardon of our a1oa had begun to form tl:iemeelves into a maes In tl11s wn.y we len.rn to hn.te sin-to hate all of discontent with which )fr.

An industrial scho"ol had for sotDe time been contemplated by these gentlemen, and as the success of different reformatories be· came generelly known, a desire to combine both in one estabhshmeut v.·aa often expreesed. lo these proJects, ho\vever, no oue felt called upon to take the lead- no one appeared either qualified for conductrng such a. concern, or w1lht1g to 1inderta.ke it, Now that Mr Crawford had come forward with his avowal of such a purpose, .,many were ieady to express their appiobatioo, and some were ready to assist. Altogether ~1r, Crawford felt more sup· ported than he hau anticipated that he ahould be by this class of frten<ls. But still tbe necessury outlay looked tnost form1d·hie. In one sense Le consoled b1mse!f with the idea thot the work requirW. would It ia true the unwonted effort-the need for effort, and the wilhnguesa with wh1cb every duty v.·ns performed, did impa1t to 1v1rs Crawford's exertions a sense of active usefuln~es, to which she had for a.long time been a atranget, and which is, at all stages of life, an excellent med1c1ne for the restora· tiou of health It almost brought back health itsell; tor Lucy watched carefully that her inother should not fut1g-ne h~rsel f too much; and thus the pleasant stimulus of be] ping otht!rs who needed help bad 1ts iull effect upon that sensitive mind, which al\vay imparted its viva.~ity or depression to tbe leas sensitive body.
