rhe baik received ted His 1zes . and & protect h D|!s moveâ€" it the ds Iton Com W r se t# Deep and deadly, though suppressed, vnder the iron rule of the time, was the rage of the people when Brother Cyprian‘s bells, with their beautiful dedicatory legends and their orthoâ€" dox baptism, were thus transferred to the enemy of their country and their faith. Deep, deadly, and vain ; for the people were helpless. But there was something on their sideâ€"something they could not define, did not care to investigate, did not dare openly to claim and exult in, but, nevertheless, believed in and cherished, as the Irish people always believe in and cherish anything which combines the elements of religion and revenge. ‘The men employed to hang the bells in their new place feli from the scaffolding, and were mortally hurt; the belfry was struck by lightning and hurled to the ground ; the bells split in the fall. and when restored they cracked of their own accord. At last, in all the parish, no man could be found to officiate as bellringer, for it became known that he who made Brother Cyprian‘s bells chime in obedience to the stranger and the heretic, should kave no place by any fireside, no partner in a dance, no wilfe from out ‘any household, no nurse in sickness 'r-hld. in fact, be cast out from his Aeliows.

But ther Cyprian lived always within the abbey, though the tradition which lingered long among the peas antry of the place, who had little lore beside, or nutriment for the ever acâ€" tive Irish imagination, had it that no more â€" learned man, or _ *"‘goldenâ€" mouthed," dwelt among the friars preachers. The abbey, within whose ancient walls the Comte de Yalmont found peace, and buried the story of his forâ€" mer PMe, was ancient when â€" he claimed its shelter. The famous bells, his magnificent gift, were landed from & foreignâ€"looking crait, the fashion of whose sails was declared to be "outâ€" lapdish." A rumor gained ground that the novice had brought much wealth *to the community, in addition to his gift of the bell«, which the people reâ€" garded with superstitious veneration. Apparently, Brother Cyprian did no more than this for the Abbey of Kilâ€" ferrap. If, indeed, he had brought wealth with him into the cloister there was no external evidence of its exâ€" perditure ; his life was as obscure as that of any humble lay brother there, «wnd his name was rarely beard while be lived. But for "the musical, magicâ€" al bells," he might have been forgotâ€" ten as utterly as any of the countless brethren of the order who â€" moulâ€" dered away in nameless _ sepulâ€" ture in the abbey _ burialâ€"ground under the shade ol the thick tbween our island kingdoms ana any portion of the known earth.

No one knows; perhaps some â€" wanderer coming from the d»mcant sunny home of the arts to this remote place, where they were little known, and met scant welcome, who set the mark of the Christian revelation upon the yet unconsecrated waulls, and went hie way ; perhaps some monk, learnâ€" ed in other ways than with the learning of his brethren, whose peace{ful dust has mingled with theirs for ages. There is no other trace of any but the mason‘s skill entrance, the mutilated remains of a eculpured tablet may be discernâ€" ed. The relic! im almost obliterated by age and exposure ; the corners are chipped, green stains maxy the Purface, and a deep crack traverses the tablet, so that it is strange that it has not long ago fallen from its position, and added its tiny item to the heap of ruin around. There is no means of climbing up to the level of this sad little relic of the sculptor‘s presence here, and it is difficult to make out the design of the basâ€"relief. The visitor is told that it represents the winged lion of St. Mark. and people suggest that, in old times, the distinctive signs of the Four Evangelists were sculptured upon the walls of Kilferran. Whose at Kilferran Not far down the coast, formed by the craggy boundaries of the hille about Kilferran, is a fine harbor, where many . noble ships are now no uncommon sight, and where even, in those days, thero was much recourse of _ shipp‘mg, for commercial purposes, and esâ€" pecially for those generally known ration, of the artistic skill and taste with which the monks of old were wont to adorn their dwellings, the visitor will be persuaded at first that no trace remains. The fragments of the walls are rough fragments. The timeâ€"worst rugges surlace of the colâ€" umns which are still standing, in their firm and massive socketsâ€"of the grey sStone which is so drearyâ€"looking, and so enduringâ€"bears no impress of the sculptor‘s hand. But when the visitor stands close by the doorway,.and care fully scans the line of stonework just above the columns, he observes a few feet of masoury, jutting in towards the hollow, empty centre, and makes out that there was the short, b e1 the cloister, on threi of their foreign brethren, or more general intelligence of the world outside, would go on his way to encounter the vicissitudes of a trouâ€" blous time, with many a wistful backward look at the peaceful place ho left behind. The dwellers by the shore were rude peasants, mostly fishermen, near the Abbey; the towns, with their more cultivated and crafty inhabitants, lay beyond the harbor far to the southward ol Kilferran. All visitors to ‘the abâ€" bey had to come thither by special purpose ; It did not lie in any track, and the brother porter had ample notive of an arrival, before he needâ€" ed to let fall the ponderous chain which held the heavy black door, The tradition lasted ; dormant inâ€" dext, for none cared to rouse it. At length, in the lapse of time, the bells disappeared, none knew exactly when or how. ‘The explanation might have been simple, but mystery was preferâ€" able, and th> mystery was estabâ€" lished. But in course of years, when the infants of the days in which the avoided place of Cyprian‘s bells had been unaccountably left tenantless were grown men and women, it began to be rumored that the bells were heard again on the heights of Kilferâ€" ran, and from the sea, in the calm, slumbering, sparkling time o( summer, and o‘ nights, when the watch listened from shipboard for their solemn, eleâ€" vating. admonitory music. Young mothers watching by their sick inâ€" Tants‘ cradles hoard th> belis ; mournâ€" ers by sickâ€"bods, sorrowâ€"stricken peoâ€" ple heavily laden with sin and grief ; above all, th> dying. And it was held of all "a good sign" to hear the ancient music. Th:y wore not afraid ; thcugh no one knew where the bells hung, or if they were in existence, under any form ; though centuries had passed since any sound but the swish of the bats‘ wings, the hooting of the owls, or the twittering of nesting birds among the ivy, had come from the deserted ruins of Kilferran; they were not afraid, nor had they any doubt that the sound was that of Cyprian‘s tbells. So that, though it was always sad, yet it was accounted a blessed thing to have heard these bells ; and many a sick heart had listened for th> sound until benignant fancy produced it, and the longing was satisfied: the link of sense with the supernatural granted. But this was of late date, and when ruln had so taken possession of Kilâ€" ferran Abbey that it would have needâ€" ed a keen imagination, and a thorough knowledge of the architocture of the period at which it was built,to restore it to the nfind‘s eye, as it had been when Brother Cyprian trod its cloisâ€" iters with his sandaled feet. and mused as the "Portingal trade." Many a voyager landed in that harbor, took horse and guide and set forth for Kilferran, where he would be well received and hospitabiy entertained, and having conferred with the monks and, mayhap, brought them news availed nothing against this. ‘There were cruel laws enough in Ireland then ; but, short of the subjection of slavery, none which could be applied to the forcing of a man to ring Cyprian‘s bells, and so they remained silent. teway is in fi rtion consists ulky columns, external side _ and was pr > sides of the of the artisti hich the mon > adorn their is are rough ir rB ruggec surl hich are still st 1 massive socke hich is so drea ringâ€"bears no ‘s hand.

When I reached the harbor yonder, _ the captain, who knows the place and the people, and, I dare ~my, has done some "I have forgotten nothing," _ said the monk ; and the gesture with which he raised his hand in emphasis was slow and deliberato, but the flush which overspread his sallow cheek was quick and involuntary. "Nothing. But between me and Franceâ€"between me and Parisâ€"between me and your lifeâ€"there is nothing in common. I am not Francois de Valmont, Louls; I am Cyprian, the Dominican." He spoke with great dignity, and the tone of his voice was musical and low. "I came hither in a trading ship from Bordeaux," replied Loulsg. "The good people of this savage island have one human taste at leastâ€"that â€"for our wines, I was recommended to the captain of a trader bound to this port, and sailed with him from Borâ€" deaux. The voyage _waa-tedlous:!a:!d CHAPTER IL "You never sought to learn, you have never asked aught of my fate since we parted, Franco‘s," said Louis de Valmont to his brother, when they were alone, abhd as he spoke he looked closely in Brother Cypriâ€" an‘s face, and strove with an almost womanly eagerness to discern in it some trace of the feelings, the inâ€" terests of the past. Not quite in vain. The elder man‘s face was not impassive, though it «id not lose the impress of separation. It said plainâ€" ly, ‘Your world has ceased to . be mine ; but I can throw my mind back into it again, for a while, for your sake.‘ There was no lack of inâ€" terest in the monk‘s slow â€" smile, though it wanted the tenderness which exiets only with qssociation. " You are wrong," said Brother Cyprian, in the Jlong _ unspoken language of his mnative land. "I have heard of you, indirectly, and know that you still hold your place in the favor of the King and at the court, More, I knew that you had not changed in anything ; and beyond thisâ€"there was nought I care@d to know. If you lived to want me, I should see you, or hear of you, in this work}, I knew ; and I was right ; for here you are!" B Lk "Think that you have come to me as both, Louis, that will be best. Tell me‘how you travelled hither, and why, and how it comes that you have left Paris, Surely it has not become ha‘toful and deadly to you, too ? There are dangers and difficulties, _ and much weariness in such a voyage ; and, as I remember you, it is only to the first you would be indifferent." _ ~"Stlll anothor voyage, my brother! and whither * sls " And â€" have you really no desireâ€" no longing to know more than that? Do you never look back to the life you have left? Francois, have you utterly ceased to be the man _ you were * â€" Have you forgotten ?" M "I have made a long voyage," said his brother, "to see you, to confer with you; and, churchman though I know you to be, I came to you as a brother ; not as a monk." Brother Cyprian‘s face changed now, and there was a soft pity in his smile, as he looked at the speaker intently, and bheard his upbraiding tones. we had many storms, but I cared little for them, my mind being set on the business I came herée to do, and the more distant voyage that is before Prior, in cloak and cowl, and with bim a man in the prime of life, of solâ€" dierly aspect, and, despite his clumâ€" ey and stained travelling dress, of a handsome and gallant presence, who held a plumed hat in his hand. As Brother Cyprian entered with his noiseless step, the . stranger dropâ€" ped his hat, and advanced to him with outstretched arms. . every inch The sound ringing on Brother Cypri noilseless step, ped his hat, with outstretc "Francois !" "Louis! My It was a glorious day, late in the summer, when the flef(h were fast ripening for the harvest, when the sea was slumbering in the sunny haze, when all sounds had a reiucâ€" tant, drowsy tone in them, when the cattle lay down in content, and the trees, motioniess at intervals, suddenly (rustled as though with stealthy pleasure. Seven years had elapseed since the world had lost sight of Francois de Valmont, and Kilferran Abbey and the country around had come to know the learning, the piety, the austerity of Brother Cyprian; but no â€" etra had ever asked to epeak wltg him, in particular, {rom the external world. _ Great e;j:ta had happened since he had looked his last on his native land ; some terrible scenes in the history of the world had been witnessed, and it had gone very hard, not only with the society from which he had cut himsel{ adrift, but with a great part of that in which he had taken refuge. _ Kilferran Abbey owed its safety to its remotenessâ€"to its apâ€" parent insignificance. It is probaâ€" ble that many of the imen in power, engaged in destroying the ancient monastic institutions of the land, did not know anything about the obscure Dominican housge, or did not think it worth the trouble of exâ€" ploration. Be that as it may, the turn of Kilferran had not yet come; the community pursued their way of life, and held their goods in peace, though even there disquieting rumâ€" ors of the dealings of Elizabeth‘s English deputies with the Irish peo ple and their faith had penetrated, when the first sign was given that any tie still existed between Cyâ€" prian and the external world.

One Pound Will Do the Work of 236 Horses. Let us take a pound of what we will call average coal, containing, say, 10,000 heat units. ‘This would be somewhat smallor in size than a man‘s fist. A pound of this coal if expended in mechanical work would give us 236 horse power. Imagine at the time of the Pharaohs two long lines of men, extending over half a mile, all pullâ€" ing steadily, at the command of the taskmaster, at a great rope to raise some huge obelisk, and as you see them sweating, tugging and straining, think again of this small lump of coal in which nature has placed an equal amount of power. In some countries men who have been specially trained as porters to carry heavy loads on their backs, will, as a full day‘s work, carry a total of 350 to 600 pounds a «listance of one mile. And yet each hbas expended but oneâ€"third of the power stored up in this pound of coal. An exceptionally strong man has been known to do oneâ€"hall horse power of work as his mightiest effort, but in two and oneâ€"hall minutes work at this rate exhausts his muscular force. Let us suppose 100 such men putting forth such extreme effort at rope or crank or crowbar; as they fall back, redâ€" faced and puffing, to <catch their breaths, we might imagine this little black lump saying to them: "I can do as much as your whole company, The Judge, in a bland and courteâ€" ous maunner, said : "Address yourself to the jury, sir."

Put â€" into each two quarts of vinegar, an ounce of peppercorns, a hall ounce _ each of mustard seed and mace, a piece of horeeradish, a piece of alum the size of a pea, and a half cupful of sugar ; boil them together for ten minutes before straining it over the cucumâ€" bers.
