With the quick sympathy of their race, and t?:,npprecmt..ou of beanty and grace also natural to them, the people about Kilferran regarded Gemma with pecuâ€" liar favor. They had found out that she came of good blood, that she was of the pobles of her own country, who bad had misfortunes, a circumstance which did but increase thelr importâ€" ance in the estimation of the impresâ€" slionable and romantic people, who held the great names of their own land, all associated with misery and oppression, in undying reverence. . The peopie about had heard before long of "the Captain," and many & knowing look and kindly smile were directed at Gemma when the postman had informed the neighborhood (as he always did) that there was "a thin letter" for tha young lady up at the Abbey. Thin letters from India came comparatyivey ragely then, but Giâ€"mmaA received one by every mail, and the happiest days of her life were those on which these letters arrived, and were _ afterwards _ discussed _ with Blanche. These arrivals and discusâ€" slons hadl been for a long time the source of sore trial to Miss Tredethâ€" lyn, though she had never failed to welcome the former, and had never shrunk from the latter. But all such trials had ceased now, she folt them no more. All pain had passed awa;s, it weemed! to her, and the land which is very far off had in some mysterious way glided near to her, and her eyes were ever «directed towards it, her beart ever yearning, though with no impatience, to reach it.

Ruthven Ramâ€" say was beginning to talk of coming to England ; the last of England‘s enemies in Hindostan had been conâ€" querad, of course for ever, his promoâ€" tion having been satisfactory, and his prospects in the service being very goo«l. Such were the contents of Ruthâ€" ver Ramsay‘s last lotter, which formâ€" @1 the subject of discussion betweer Blanche and Gemma one autuma day, when the teaves were falling, and the winds were sighing softly, as a preâ€" lude to their winter wailing, around the ruined walls of Killerran.

Tie girls hurrisd down to the chief entrance, and almost as soon as they reached it the crowd ap proached, and Mr. Vaughan saw them. _"What is the matter? Has anyâ€" thing happened?" asked Blanche. He directed the men to advance to the door with the burden they carâ€" rlied, and they laid down at Miss Tredethlyn‘s feet a heavy,strangelyâ€" ghaped, object, blackened, â€"rusted, defaced by time, but bearing some resemblance to a monstrous . bird with tbeak and claws and outâ€"stretched wings. ‘The girls looked at it, wonâ€" dering, and the men stood around, silent now, but also wondering, and listening to Mr. Vaughan‘s explanaâ€" * When they had emptied the find in the place known as the Friar‘s Garden, the mnanound at the bottom a quantity of rubbish and some heavy stones. ‘They began to remove them, and found beneath them this strange object. Ibelieve they tried to knock it to pleces with their pickaxes at first ; but one of them brought me to the spot where it lay, a mere blackâ€" ened, monstrousâ€"looking lump of metal. I recognized it, after a brief examinaâ€" t‘on, as a lectern of ancient form and fabric; and I have no doubt that it is a lectern which belonged to the old Abbey in the time of the Dominiâ€" can Friars, and that it was flung into th> pond when the Abbey was dismantled ‘by Sydney‘s troops. If this be true, you are to Je congratuâ€" lated on the discovery of so valuable and interesting an object of antiquity on your property." i Blanche and Gemma were stooping over the huge mass, eyeing it with curiosity, while Mr. Vaughan spoke ; but the men looked askance, and one of the foremost whispered to his nelightor : ie " Valuable, is it? Arrah‘! sure it‘s only a lump of ould iron." "‘The ‘Tredethlyn tradition is desâ€" tined to follow you, it seems," said Mr. Vaughan ; "the relics of the past turn up wherever a ‘Tredethlyn has a house." The strangeâ€"looking object, having beer cleaned as far as possible, was carried into the house, the men wer» liberally rewarded, and Miss ‘Tredethâ€" lyn, Gemma and Mr. Vaughan were left to examine the lectern, for such it uncoubtediy was. The battered and blackened surface proved, after much rubbing and oiling, to be finelyâ€" wrought brass, and the ruby eyes were Still perfect. The girls watched the process of cleaning the lectern with much interest, speculating upon its age, npon how it came into the place where it had tbeen found, upon the dcadâ€"andâ€"gone monks who had read the sacred Evangels, reverently standâ€" ing before it; upon the closed ears which had hbeard â€" within the ruins yonder the awful words of counsel, command and â€" consolation. â€" Blanche papers, perhaps.

She found Mr. Vaughan standing by w large table on which the parchment scrolls were laid out, together with reveral loos®e sheets of paper, covered with notes in his own handwriting.
