TOLD BY DEBORAH CAREY. Judith is sitting on the stump of an old tree, while I am lying on the grass fanning myself and watching her. Sheis very beau- tiful, but looks delicate. Sometimes I think she is not strong. But, since she never complains of ailment or pain. I decide that her delicacy is more apparent than real. \Ve have been silent for sometime; but I .am longing to talk, my former life not havmg fitted me for meditation. “Judith,” I commence, “ how much more shadowy will you be able to get :ud still he flesh and blood 2" She smiles. “ Deborah ”â€"abruptlyâ€"-“ what do you think of Mr. Thornton f" I start and uiumble stupidlyâ€" “ I do not know." She looks at me reproachfully. “ You must know, Deb; you have seen him several times.” It is true. hlr. Thornton and lore tol- crnbly familiar; but familiarity in my case has not brought liking. I do not however quite see how I can explain to his wife that is to be that I dislike and distrust him. I tell her that l have formed no opinion of him. She shakes her head, expresses by a pretty gesture her doubt of my caudour, and then says slowly-â€" " Do you know I am to marry him 2" “ Yes.” The nionosyliable is safe: I cannot trust myself tospcak fully. It is monstrous that this sensitive gentle girl should be mated to Silos Thornton. Will not his actions, his habits, jar on her perpetually? She comes to my side and gazes at me steadily. “My grandmother loved me," she said musinglyâ€"“ loved me passionately. She was very anxious about my future; I fancy Deborah "â€"â€"â€"whis wringâ€"J‘ she was afraid that no man would ally himself with me be- cause of my tarnished name.” . “Judith l" " It would only be natural, dear. Every- body believes my father is guilty of murder.” “ Don't you 2" I cry, su riscd. She clasps her hands he ind herâ€"a fav- ourite habit of hers. “ No ) I am sure he was innocentâ€"my darling father l Deborah, grannie and I used to talk of him a great deal. She told me all about his childhood, his youth. He was noble, cliivalrous, lion-hearted, not one who could act meanly, not a man assuredly who could slay his father. It may be his memory will never be cleared; but I can wait iaticntiy." “l e is dead '1" “ Yes, oh. yes ! I had dreams once of his returning to Napinc, of his being proclaim- cd stainless, of my making up to him a lit- tle for my mother ; but he was killed. Gran- niu had a letter from ugcntlcinan from Aus- trnlin, telling llfll‘ that ho had been killed by a fall from his horse.” “ Ile escaped abroad? Did he retain his own name 2" “ No, it was in this way. He was known as Mr. Martin ; but, after he was (lead, his desk was examined, and only a bundle of letters from granuie was found. They were forwarded to her. She was told one John Martin had died, and that, as hers was the only address found to which to write, they could write but to her. Grannie guessed John Martin, was her son Martin. llow ulso thould letters she had written to her boy whcd ho was at school he in his pos- session."

When liupc was taken from her she prepared for death. Mr. Carey comforted her by tell- ing her she would find him in Heaven.” I glance at Judith. She utters Will's mmo very demurcly and gravely, as if it “as sacred to her. Does she ever compare Silas Thornton with Will? Surely not; a bad day will it be if she ever does. I rise hastily as I hear the gate click ; it is my brotherâ€"yes, Will and a stranger. 'l‘licy advance deliberately towards us. I am conscious that my dress is disordered, and my curls are adorned with grass, needs, and flowers. Judith is as trim as u snoudrop, as sweet as a white rose: my cheeks glow, and her lip trembch a little. “My sister Debora . Deborah â€"- Mr. 0rd." “ Robin's cousin l" I cxclaim gladly. We shake hands heartil '. Dale 0rd can- not be other than a friem to me; Robin has gossipcd so much about him, that his name has been verify a household word with as.

Has he a *tter living than this to dispose of, and does he think \Vill would suit him 2 No, no ; had be living: to bestow, he would not be resid- ing among us. How does it happen that we speak of Ju- dith? Oar conversation is somewhat zig- zag in its course. One word leads to ano- ther. We branch off into many by-roads. “fire can follow a beaten track, and avoid tempting by-paths! Mr. Thorold seems to possess ascnsitive, timorous spirit, dan er- ous to trust in. Dale 0rd instances Ju ith as such a one. He has known her from her childhood. She feels pain, acutely, he avers, and, because she shrinks from it naturally, forces herself toendure it without blench- ing. “ Those who told her of her father's sin did not understand her." Dale 0rd says. “Her father’s sin 2" Mr. Thorold echoes interrogatively. " Oh, yes, I have heard some story l He was a frightful scamp, was he not 2" “No,” Mr. 0rd dissents. “ If he was what he was said to be, he was worse. Re- port has it that he murdered his father.” “ Murdered his father? was be hanged 2" “He escaped. Have you not heard the tale headlesst 2" And Dale relates it in brief. Will, in the arm-chair, lifts his hand, delicate as a woman’s, to his forehead, and utters not a word. Mr. Thorold’s disgust is not veiled. I interpose, and sayâ€" “ He may not have been guilty.” “ I think he was, Deborah,” Dale returns lently; “ but I have always imagined the end was unprcmeditated. Sir Percival may have provoked him. There is little doubt that he had lived a blameless life with his wife. " ' “ Are you not regardin 1 him leniently ‘f" Mr,Thorold cries. “I 0 not fancy your view of his crime is correct.” Had he kill- ed his father in the heat of passion, would he have run away? And then too the money disappearing gives the affair an ugly look. Depend upon it, you are wrong, and public opinion is right. He was a villain l" “ \Vhether he was or was not does not af- fect Miss Napiue,” \Vill muttcrs, trying to clear his throat. “ It should not ; but the custom of visit- ing the sins of the fathers on the children is not obsolete, Mr. Carey." Will does not reply. Mr. Thorold con- tissueâ€" “I hear the young lady is to be married shortly. Are you to be ii. bridesmaid 2"â€" smiling at me. “ The date is not fixed,”I say, a trifle vexed. I am sorry for Will, as this gossip must annoy him. I try to divert the talk into a. new channel. “ Mr. Thorold you said your miguonnette was the finest about. Come and see mine." We step out of the window. I'sliow my flowers proudly, and we loiter in the balmy air. Mr. Tliorold's thoughts are absent.

Judith kisses her grandfather fondly, promises to come in by-aud~by, and we find ourselves in the passage. “Who is Mr. Brenton 2" I inquire, as I put my arm round Judith's waist, and we saunter to the fir-grove, having donned hats and cloaks. “ He was grandpapa Napine’s secretary; he lived at Napine until lately. He knows more about Napine than any one, and it was for this reason the Squire asked him to come here to put matters ship-shape.” “ I do not like him.” “ He is a good man of business, Listen to that bird.” _ I listen for a. moment, and then recom- mencc.

It has seemed strange hearing an unfamiliar voice. Will is not home or likely to be for several days ; a brother minister consequently conducts the services for him. I miss “’ill more than I anticipated ; and, though I am made heartily welcome at Elderslic, I wish myself back at the Vicarage. Deep down, conceal- ed in my heart, is an acknowledged longing to see a face which has, without in consent, grown dear to me.

He is not very wishful tolive ; life has had more bite tars than sweets for him; to depart will be better than to stay. I am in the summcbhouae, and Judith is with her grandfather.

A few more words, and they move on. I sit up dazed and confused, yet resolved to give Judith a warning. Verin I should feel lood-guilty, if I permitted her to go to the altar with Silas Thornton without my whis- pering what I deem he is. Cautiously I re- connoitre, and then steal out.

If only I could tell Will what I have overheard; but I cannot, and I have no other adviser. For a moment I wonder if I could inform the Squire. The idea is impracticable, and I dismiss it. How could I get an audience with him, and, if I could, would he credit my story? He is not well enough to weigh and sift evidence impartial-' 1y. I groan, and then smile and forget my care, for Dale 0rd is at my elbow. “ You look as though you had a nation’s greivances on your shoulders,” he says, laughing : and I assure hima nation's griev- ances would bring me to the dust. I am neither diplomatic or subtle enou ii to carry other folk’s burdens without breaking down. He looks at me for a moment, and adds mirthfullyâ€" (T0 as CONTINUED.) W Use and Abuse of the Theatre. There is in every man a natural liking for theatical exhibitions, and every man is more or less inclined to be an actor. The imitative faculty, or as it might be more ac- curately called, the power of mimicry early and universally shows itself. The child soon begins to imitate the actions and words of its elders, and, by and by, assume their airs and manners and affects to personate them, It will be readily noticed by any one who is familiar with children and their habits how largely this element enters into the amuse- ments of youn people; and, since men are but children 0 a larger growth, we might naturally expect the some inclination to be shown in them also. This, as a fact, is the case; and however far opposed a man may be, whether from principle or prejudice to theatrical exhibitions, he never is so from instinctive objection. The natural inclina- tion of a man being towards such ex- hibitions, it becomes a proper ques- tion to ask how far and in what direc- tion may a man indulge this inclination with safety and advantage? In other words wherein consist respectively the use and the abuse of the theatre I At the outset it may be well to say that no man is likely to be profited by giving himself up altogether to the indulgence 0 his desire for theatrical displays. Not on] will the natural desire be satinted,but, as in every other pleasure, the appreciative facul- ty will be dulled and a source of much on- ioyment destroyed. But the place of the theatre is decidedly that of relaxation and the enjoyment that (gives the weary brain and body rest. Au this it is eminently fitted to secure. Its mimic wars and loves, its representation of the battle of life, both in its central scenes and side-issues, does much also to instruct as well as amuse. There is unquestionably a. mighty advantage educationally, in teaching ihrougli' the eye, and even in the case of ear-teaching, there is an access of educating power where the moans employed are such as call up before the imagination, or “ the mind’s eye,” a. ic- torlal arrangement of scenes and figures I: at is to all intents and purpose a scenic, a theatrical, exhibition. The instruction. Theatrical representations, then, have in themselves nothing wrong, but, on the contrary, are u mighty lever for raising men intellectually, soci- ally, and educationally. Their abuse can only come when, as is too often the case, they are prostituted to gratify a degraded taste, and exhibit vice in an alluring form. This, unfortunately, has been a characteris- tic of the stage in much of its past history, but in this it has been only the reflection of the manners and tastes of contemporary times. In liability to this abuse, it is just like every other good institution. Printm , painting, sculpture, and the works of al kinds of genius have been thus diverted from the service of the true and the beauti- ful, but we do not therefore throw them aside, and refuse to have aught to do with them. So we ought to treat the theatre. “ But," it is said, “the legitimate drama would not be a success, and the taste of the a e calls for andenjoys much thatisobje tion~ agle, and in itself wrong." This be, but, we say, so much the worse sign of the taste of the age. It needs reforming, if this be the case, and we are convinced that a. great power for this reformation existsiu the stage. \Vc have only to point to the exhi- bition of the recent miracle play in the valley of the Obcrammergau, and the intense religious feeling excited by its representa- tion, to find a conclusive ar ment for the stage's power for rood, an we trust the time is coming w en, under proper and wise restrictions and regulations, it will become, allied with the pulpit, the platform, and the press, a recognized and most cffcc‘ tivo instrument in the civilization of our race. 0â€"..0â€"9 You Have no Excuse.
