Judith in her white silk robe resem- bles a corpse. Mr Thornton is a little agi- tated. I have decked myself in gain. attire ; but I am very conscious of my swollen eyes and pale checks. The clergyman is fidgetty; Mis. Santon is thoughtful ; and only the Squire is perfectly calm. He does not dis- cern the incongruous elements to which we are so keenly alive. For many years he has gegprded‘his granddaughter's marriage ,uyith i \Ve are " as Thornton as an fail accomplt.“ The 19. gal rite about to b9 performed is but the "OY‘m‘nfl 0f iii” c‘k‘li’ce reared by his imagi- "atmn- I Williâ€"how earnestly no tongue ca“ Efillr‘liimething may occur to hinder the ii'iiptial knot being tied ; but I wish in vain. I hear the solemn words, the pro- mises on either side. Judith’s voice is as clear and sweet as the most tuneful hell. I know that nothing but death can sever the two now made one. It is all over. Mr. Carruthers murmurs congratulations, and subsides into quietude. The squire’s face is flushed; ten minutes since it was deathly white. Judith draws near, but he puts her back.

I stumble to my room. Barley, Judith's maid, is putting it straight. I am beyond respect for appearances, and throw myself upon my bed recklessly. . Barley is very troubled. ’ “I do not like it," she assures me, as I drink the water she brings me. “ I am ill- siitisfied. “'ill it bring Miss Judith luck I" " Why should it not '2” W's start, for Judith mm the doorway. “Take off my dress, Barley," she says. “ Doctor Balfour will be here directly.

The house is very quiet, and the Squire has his lawyer with him. Judith is an otto- man by my side. There is certainly nothing bridal in her attire; she is wearing a thin black crepe dress, a jet necklace round her icarly throat, and jet limelets on her slen- ilcr wrists.

When I enter the drawing-room, Mr. Thom-- tin, Mrs. Suntan, and the Lawyer are With “'ill and Judith. The Squire is dozing. Will promises to call early in the morning. Judith‘s hand is in his.

He eyes me narrowly. “ Deb," he says gravely, “ do not mistrust your gladness. Hope and faith are life’s elixirs. I believe you will be happy all your days." > “ But why should Judith be miserable?" “Will she be? Does she not love Mr. Thornton 2” ' I let the question pass. By chmce I have learned her secret, and I must not divulge it even to him. Gratefully I hear a step be- hind us. Dale leaps up. ' “ Why, “Till,” he cries, “ you have 9. face as sober as an undertaker’s l" A foreboding seizes me. I almost hate myself for having been so wantonly merry and blithe this sunny afternoon. I silence Dale with an imperative gesture. “ Squire Elierslie is dead 7” I say to my brother inquiringiy. ' ' I .“ Yes, he died an hour since." Gloom eclipses our smiles. Will tells us all as we go in-doors. It is summed up in one sentence. “ He fell into a sleep and never awoke.” I“ It is six weeks to-day since Judith became Mrs. Thornton, and not one visit has she aid to the Vicarage. I have paid her many, ut, though her pleasure at seeing me is manifest, I cannot persuade her to return my calls. Square Ellcrslie is gathered to his fathers, and a goodly com any attended his funeral. “’ith pomp an state he was buried; but none mourned him as did .Tv- dith. His will has caused surprise. The bulk of his property is left to Silas Thorn- ton.

Ip'kn'ow they havc'dcsired to do that which is, best for their grandchild ; but I fear they have made a. fatalrmistake in plac- ing unlimited faith in Mr. Thornton. It is not right to anticipate evil, but my forebod- ings are very melancholy. When the master of Napine and Ellerslie shows the eleven hoof, what will be his Wife’s position 2 Letty and the baby are at the Vicarage. I have confided some of my cares to her. She thinks I am over-anxious about Judith, and is inclined to believe that time will shape things smoothly. She does not know about \Vill ; does not realise that, wherever flowers are planted, there may always be a worm at their root. Mrs. Ansley wants us to spend the even- ing with her ; indeed, we have promised to do so; but when Will comes to bid us be ready, I cutreat to be allowed to remain be- hind, and tell him that Letty and he must make my excuses. I will stay with baby. I have my way, after many useless expostula- tions ; then I help Letty to don her retti- est garment, pin a flow. r in “’iil’s button- hole, and watch thtnl down the path with satisfaction. . . s s s - . It is a gusty summer night; the leaves are beginning to fall, and are swept hither and thither thoroughly. Autumn’s sad mu- sic is in the breeze. I glance at the grey sky dolefully. I have a gloomy, miserable sen-ration that ill is looming; perchance,,bc- cause I have no genuine sorrows, I in- -to create come. I am not given to low spirits. but to-uight I am dismal enough to please the most saturnine. Luckily, before I quite succeed, in scaring myself, Ray knocks. “ Nurse wishes to go into the village, Miss Deborah. I am willing to mind baby, if you will allow her. “ Yes, she can go, but let me have bub ." Ray is reluctant; but I want my little niece. I am assuredly going to have a bad cold; I shiver repeatedly, and my threat is sure. I put on some cools, and draw close to the blaze. Baby falls asleep. I undress her carefully, place her in the cradle, and tuck her up snugly, Do I fall asleep myself? It is quite possible. I am conscious of a com- fortable \varmth, ofa delightful drowsy feel- ing, and naught else. When I open my eyes, a singular notion possesses me, an idea is on rue of which I cannot get ridâ€"l have been kissed i [smile and look about me ; the duskiuess prevailing is not to be lightened by the sparse flame in the grate. I peerinto the corners. Baby cries, and I move hurriedly; as I do so a all lit black figure approaches from the far en of the room. My frightened exclamation is quickly subdued. Judith ! In my plea- sure I embrace her passionately, pull her to- ward the fire, and gazes at her as if she and I had been sundered for years. She returns my caresses with loviii ardour: but, when the feverish red has {M ed from her cheeks; I am pained at her pallor, at her patient, suffering air. Some change has passed over her since I last saw her; what can it be? Beneath her eyes are black lines, lines never wrought save b ~ mental anguish; and her l'ps are dry an parched. I am loath to question her, fearful lest in my ignorance I may touch a wound too fresh to bear the ‘tenderest contact : and she understands in embarrassment.

There is a watery halo round the moon ; the flowers look very fair and quaint; a solemn calm reigns. Night has a Witching charm. I slip my arm within Judith’s. I am full of thoughts too deep for words. At the white gate we separate. I kiss her softly ; she kisses 'me with curious intensi- y“ You have been a sister to me, a loving sister,” she says, her voice rich and deep. “Deborah, I dare not say what my heart urges, but you know I love you 1” “Yes, yes.” “ And you will always love me?

I have letters to write, books to read, work to arrange with Letty. Also, it is \Vill’s sermon day ; he can shut himself in his study, and, if it shall please him, we can have n. cosey family evening to gather. [TO BE cou'rnwsDJ o Fellong the Fashions. When Paris starts a fashion, the milliners of all civilized countries are ready to import it all over Europe and America. But on us English we do not think French inventions sit with much grace. We are too different from the French to adopt with any success the style which best suits them. The Eng- lish character and mind, being, as compared with the French, simple, vague, and slow ; imaginative, rather than fanciful; constant and stable in feelinr, rather than quickly sympathetic; pron , rather than vain; and, though proud, decidedly more modest and less self-confident than the French, we invent when we do exert ourselves, and push out our creative faculties on entirely different lines, so to speak, from those on which the French invent ; but; too often our modesty, vagueness, implicity, and slow- ness acting together, ensnare us into an un- due admiration of a French quality or achievement, for the very reason that we dq not possess the one and cannot readily ad complish the other. French vanity, on tit contrary, as a rule admires French qualiti and French achievements because they French. We are apt to surrender r national taste, not because the taste e adopt is superior, but because the w k side of our simplicity is deluded into bcl - ing theoretically in the taste which thilrs so much of itself. That we are not s- criminnting in the manner in which we 1- low French fashions is shown by the t that we do not copy what is really ad ir- able in their work, and that we exugg to zilmostto distortion the most faiiitasti in- ventions in- French dress. Many a ris rnilliner will keep an outre form 0 the fashions for her English and American us- ‘toiucrs, and we in England often iinita the frills and furbclows of French trimr igs, but we do not make a point of iinitatil the nonlinear; and perfection of the wor nor are we clever in fitting the wearing the garment appropriately to the occasion, that often we see an idea which starts fr the Paris milliner in the form of an clairate and artful piece of needle-work swept )out dirty London streets in aslovcnly, tidy form.
