Pitt Ferrars. Europe was hone combed with secret societies, and whet er the baron was right or not in that. he was a prophet in his other remarks. Following this the passage of the Reform Bill is chronicled. Lord Grey resigned, and Lord Lyndhurst was sent for, and at the latter‘s advice Lord Wellington was asked to return to ofï¬ce.

London, on an August ev’ening. The writer dashes bril- liantly into his subject commencing with a dialogue between two leading men of the day. The reader is left to ï¬nd out further on that the August evening in question 00- ourred ï¬ve years after the death of Lord Castlereagh. It was just at the time when the Duke of Wellington had been sent for to form a now ministry, after Mr. Canning's death had been announced. The conversa- tion, details in what appears at ï¬rst sight to be a hard. cynical style, but which is really full of delicate hits, the process of forunng a cabinet, the why and wherefore of this man's preference and the other, re- jection. The author goes on through one phase after another of political life until ‘ 1842. recounting in his last chapters the disorders in England, the food riots in Scotland, and the pro- ceedings of the Corn Law League, the disasters in Ireland. and the terribly de- moralizing effect of the Afghanistan troubles.

Themanner in which the history of this pair is interwoven with the political history of the score of years that follow is very ingenious. As the author proceeds he abandons the cynical tone in which the ï¬rst chapters are pitched, and wanders through the chapters in the plainest of English. In every line of the history it has own what tremendous power can be wielded over a man’s destiny by a clever devoted woman who loves him.

Replying to this Sidney owns his qualms with which he was beset on leaving the Tories for Canning, whom he believed exactly the man for a transitory age. He is reminded that Canniug's foreign policy was Liberal, like the duke‘s, and the some as Castleresgh’s. The succeeding chapters show W. Pitt Ferrars to be the son of a private secretary to the Secretary of the Treasury. He had made himself a useful member of Parliament, too, while Pitt and Grenville flourished, but he never get near the Cabinet which he had desired to enter. He married a viscountess. and had destined his son. the younger Ferrars,to achieve what his father could not. Young Ferrars comes back from college crowned with honors. writes Greek plays. a treatise on Aristotle. and so forth. “Zenobia.†the queen of London society, makes him an especial favorite in the the Treasury by Castlereagh’s appoint- ment, and afterwards Under-Secretary of State.

Endymion’s disappointments are many. and it is little wonder that, following Nigel Penruddock’s vein of thought. he sees most to love in the Church. Greatest of all is his trial during the Christmas holidays, when he goes home to ï¬nd his mother a wreck and to be present at her death. His mother dead, he returns to London. Nigel Penruddock falls in love with Myra, and here the strong points of her character come to the surface. She tells that she lives only for her brotherâ€"that some subtle instinct compels her to do so, and that her destiny is one with that of her brother. Nigel Penruddock contrives to give young Endymion many liberal ideas during their friendship, and then the young man goes back to London. The father of Myra tells her that a decorous marriage with young Penruddock would save them from ruin. and the lady still declines to move from destiny’s line.

The father could not face his troubles out, but Myra. goes on with a heart Joan of Arc might have en- vied. She has her mother’s destiny to watch over. A Lord Neuchatel wants a lady of good birth. accomplished and poor, to be companion for his daughter Adriana. Myra is chosen from a hundred others, and is installed in this family of high de- gree. She ï¬lls the duty admirably. and really loves her companion. Lord Boe- hsmpton is believed tobe in love with Adriana, but to the surprise of every one, proposes to and marries Myra. Now, this grand woman is in a position to help her brother -Endymion. He has been getting along with his debating club. His introduction to Lord Montfort, and family he sought a home among the Berkshire Hills. and here Endymion and Myra have their education completed.

He could get nothing more than a junior olerkshl for his son Endymion. All that is selfls and ungrate- ful in politics is summed up very adroitly in detailing Ferrars’ visit to the duke.

Lady Berengaria, and others has stood him service. He ï¬nds his sister's influence ï¬rst in his promotion to be secretary to his father’s old friend Sidney Wilton, now a Cabinet Minister under the Whig regime. His altered circumstances suit him excel lently. Being of good stature and well made, like his father, Endymion now com- mences to cut a ï¬gure in society and to ap- pear as a public character. By this time the troublous period of 1837 is reached. Count Ferrol, the Austrian ambassador, and Prince Florestan. the exiled prince, now reappear on the social scene. If En- dymion has been in love at all, he must have kept his lips sealed, unless in the assage with Imogene at Rodney’s, where his sister breaks in upon the pair and car- ries him away.

There also comes into the narrative of the liberal movement Job Thornbury, a manufacturer who has most pronounced Liberal sentiments, and Enoch Craggs. The latter might easily be mistaken for Mr. John Bright. Among other things. he points out that the only thing there is for the workingmen is co-operation.

Now the reader is told how Nigel explains to Endy- mion that there is but one Church Catholic and Apostolic. and holds that should all act upon its principles there would be no need for any other form of government again. The siege and capture of Acre and Sir Robert Peel’s changes in the Corn Law are explained. The manner in which the latter was carried by a majority of one is de- scribed, and the Government is made out to be so near its end that End mion re- ceived his marching orders from is chief, Sidne Wilton. Then comes the explana- tion 0 the grand invention, a dissolution of Parliament, which gave the Ministry one hundred days of Power to which they were not morally entit ed. With that approaches the crisis in Endymion’s career. He must go into Parliament. Lady Roehampton tells im; but how}, lie is rich and has plenty an editor who asks for Mr. Wilton and gets a curt answer.

He also speaks regretfully of the sanctity of the House ui Commons. whose purlieus “Our own Rs. porter " has laid bare. By this time. 1843, with its rioting at home and its foreign policy abroad signalized by such disasters as the Afghanistan disaster,is reached. and the end of the book draws near. Lord Reehampton becomes Secretary of State and young Ferrars his secretary. Mean- time Count Florestan has left England for his own country in southern EurOpe to head an army and make a bold stroke for liberty. He has left unmistakable evidence that he is in love with Lady Roehampton secretly. He goes to his task. Lady Montiert. one of the principal fac- tors in the assistance Endymion receives, will hardly be taken for the Imogene of the Rodneys. secretly in love with EndymionI but the fact develops more and more as the ind is near.

He never felt better. but yet when she comes again she ï¬nds in the chair that which makes her a widow. “ Died in harness." is the verdict of public opinion. " King" Florestan it is now. He has succeeded in regaining the throne of his fathers, and rests for a very short time upon his sword. Sidney Wilton has become Premier of Eng- land and Endymion his Secretary of State. Lady Montfert also ï¬nds herself a widow. Nigel Penruddock becomes a Roman Catholic and a bishop of the newly-restored Papal Hierarchy in England. Adriana afterwards marries Mr. Wildershare. The news rings allover England thath‘lorestan. the newly made king, has sent a proposal of marriage to an English countess. and Lady Roehampton is borne away to be a queen with the king she loves. Endymion ï¬nds out that he loves the Lady Montfert, and at length tells her so. and marries her. King Florestan and his bride visit England in state, and here the author shows that Myra and Endymion, underlying all their rank, are brother and sister still, for, while the crowds are assem- bled to do her honor, she steals away incog. for the old house at Gaydene, and the brother and sister have one more look through the old familiarplaoes. They shed tears in the nursery, where their joys and sorrows were so often shared, and “ En- dy_mio_n "_ is ï¬nished. 'In the brief sketch furnished above are outlined some of the characters whose pro. minence strike the eye. There are many worthy of notice whose position incidental to the tale is secondary. The Key to the Characters. A special despatch to the New York World, no doubt sent by Mr. Louis Jen- nings, an Anglo-American journalist now residing in England, gives this interesting key to Lord Beaconsï¬eld’s characters: You will be receiving “ Endymion †in a day or two, and I may as well, therefore. send your readers at once the recognized key to passages depicted or sketched in its pages, as they are deciphered in the clubs of the capital today.

At last, he yielded to my persuasion and changed his thick flanne s for medium cot- ton, and otherwise ceased to overburden himself with clothing. The result was the same as in all similar cases ; his powers of endurance are increased, and my yearl charges diminished. Another case, wi the same results. was that of a lady quite recently. For many years these ex riences have been multip ying. and wit always and invariably the same favorable results. Persons at first will sometimes say, “ I feel cold when I go out." Well.that is all right; they ought to feel a degree of cold when go- ing from a warm to a cold atmosphere; itis natural. but they do not take cold. They are spurred to exercise and activity that develops the natural warmth of the body. or i ternal heat is forced to the sur- face.

It is those 1 who muflle up most, who wear the thickest flannels, the sedentary man or woman who remain mostly indoors that take cold soonest and most often. A mother says: “ Doctor, this or that child cannot go out in the cold weather." In every case. I know without seeing that it is the mother's fault. The child has been bundled up with close- ï¬tting flannels, and its young skin has not had contact with the atmosphere. It has always been kept too warm. the skin too moist, and hence rendered delicate and sensitive to every change. Children are like plants, some being more hardy by nature than others, and capable of en. during what others cannot, but the most delicate in either case need at times some other atmosphere than that of the hot. house of which many of our furnace and steam-heated dwellings of the present day are illustrations.
