The high wall of evergreens completely shut in the view of the rseidence and its garden. The gravelled terrace was | divided from the grounds by this thick | hedge, and was only approached from the ’hnuse by one long straight path of turf. The path terminated in an arch, formed | by the carefullyâ€"kept shrubs, and giving ! necess to the platform ; and any one, walking on the downs, must go up to the ! middle of the terrace and look torough this arelhway before he could get a glimpse | of the house. lad stared after ber in amazement. â€" She did not teke the road that led through the village. In ber misery and bewilderment, she remembered that she could not bear the friendly goodâ€"nights of the cottagers. She struck wildly across the ficlds, regardâ€" less of the wet grass, and the brambles Câ€"â€", and he found a place for me. I am to be companion to an invalid lady whose house is close to the street where your father and mother live. They will be giad to have me near them again." "Ah. if I could believe that !" said the curate. "But I can‘t. It is maduess to think that a wrong path can have a right ending. Sometimes I am persuaded it would be best to tell her everything." She spoke rapidly, and a little louder than usual, Nelly, overwhelmed with asâ€" tonishment, sat still, without giving a thought to her position as an evesdropâ€" per. "You must endure to the end," she arswerâ€"d, with a little sob. _ God will make it easier byâ€"andâ€"by. Oh, I was so sorry to come here, Mr. Foster; but I corld not help it! We will never meet again, you and I. Yet I am glad that I know Miss Channell. I will go and tell the old people what a sweet, bright girl she is ; and they will soon learn to love her. â€"It will all come right in the end." Quite suddenly the sound of voices broke the stillness. The speakers were hidden from Nelly‘s gaze, for the tones came from the other side of the laurel hedge. Eve Hazelburn‘s accents, clear and musical, eould be recognised in a moment. "I am going away next week," she said, "going back to Warwickshire, Mr. Foster. I wrote to Mr. Lindlay, the good viear of "I have kept away from you,â€"IL have tried not to think of you!" cried Morgan Foster in irrepressible anguish. _ "God does not help me in this matter. _ I have prayed, worked, struggled, yet I get no relief, What shall I do, Eve,â€"what shall I do ?" before her flying footsteps ; the shepherdâ€" The bench was at the very end of the platform. She loved the seat becruse it commanded &n extensive view of the surâ€" rounding country. â€" Beyond the Huntsdean downs, she could see other hills lying far away, softly outlined against the summer evening sky. And nearer lay the dearer old meadows and homesteads, and the long traets of woodlandâ€"all familiar and beloved seozes to the girl who had been born and bred among them. The air was very still : even here it was but a faint breath of wind that fanned her flushed cheeks ; bus the coolness on these highâ€" lands was delightful after the closeness of the vale. She sat and enjoyed it in silâ€" ence. Nelly did not wait to hear Eve‘s reply. Swiftly and noislessly she sprang from the terrace on to the smooth sod beneath ; her muslin dress making no rustle as she moved. Away she sped down the green slopes ; the sheep parted to left and right would break hber heart. And don‘t think. â€"pray don‘t think, Mr. Foster that I would build my house on the ruins of anâ€" other womau‘s happiness! When I am 0 .~," and the prond voice trembled, "you will learn to submit to cirenmstances. We are not likely to cross each other‘s paths again ; you will be a rich manâ€"â€"" "(Ol, the money makes it all the harder to bear!" interrupted Morgan, bitteriy. "That three thousand pounds that Mr. Myrtle promised to leave to yon has been left to her. Did you know this 2" Nelly knew that Miss Hazelburn liked to walk up and down the tufty path when the day‘s dutios were done. She meant torest herselt for a few minutes before enteriug the garden. She made straight tor the downs, tripping up the green slopes, anl starting the browsing sheep. She gave a friendly nod t» the little shepherdâ€"boy who lay idly stretched upon the grass. And then as she had done often enough before, she mounted the gravelled terrace, and sat down on a rustic bench behind the hedge of laure‘s. On she went, saying a kind word or two to the villagers as she passed their cottages. ‘They all loved Ne:ly weil. Her Lright face came amongst them like a sunbeam ; even the smallest children hed a smile for hor as she went by. She was so young, and healthy, and beautiful, that many an adâ€" miring glance followed her tall figure. She belonged to Huntsdean, and Huntsâ€" dean was proud of her. One August evening, when it was too sultry to stay indoors, Nelly wandered out into the lanes alone. _ She had told Morgan that she was going to drive into the nearest town on a shopping expedition, and should not return till dusk. But one of her ponies had fallen lame, and she had given up the plan. "If you did," eried Eve, steruly, "you NELLY CHANNEL. \ _ Very early on Monday, the Golds‘ | governess took her departure from Hantsâ€" dean. The train bore her away through |the pleasant southern counties while the |dew was still shining on the meadows. | On and on it weut ; past cottages, standâ€" iing ammid fruitâ€"laden trees, and gardons | where Michaelmas daisies, were in bloom ; | past yellow fields where the corn was falâ€" |(ling uader the sickles of the reapers. , Hedges were gay with Canterbury bells avd ragged robins. Here and there were dashes of gold on the deep green of the ‘ woods. â€" Eve Hazelburn, quict and tearless | looked out upon the smiling country, and ; bade it a mute farewell. "Forgive Nelly 1" stammered the curate, thinking that if all could be known it would he Nelly‘s part to forgive him. Yes," the father answered, "try to think of her as a dear, foolish child who hns made a grave mistake. . She has sent ame to Lreak o# her engagement with you, It was on a Saturday evening that Nelly‘» love affair came to an end. She was in her place in the church on Sunday morning and during the rest of the day she kept much by her father‘s side. They had talkâ€" ed the matter over aud over, and had arâ€" ranged all their plans before the night closed in. And Nelly thanked God that the anger had gone away from her heart, although the sorrow remained. "Nelly," said her stepâ€"mother tenderly, "we believe that Morgan has been a blunderer, but not & traitor. We have blundered terribly ourselyes. We ought not to have let the engagement take place until we had tested the strength of his attachment, _ We wauted to gnard you from unworthy suitors ; and in taking you out of danger, we led you into sorrow,." "Don‘t forget," Rhoda continued, that God ean bless those whom He puts asunder, as well as those whom He joins together. It is better to live apart.thanto live together with divided souls. Hesaw we were too weak and stupid to set our mistake right, and He has done it for us. While we were gazing helpslessly at the knot, He eut the thread." "IL am the bearer of startling news, Morgan," he said, slipping a little note into his hand. "Let us come under the shade of the churchyard trees. â€" And now, Morâ€" gan, before you read the note, I want yon to forgive my Neliy." Afterwards, two carriages laden with luggage drove out of the village, taking the road that led to the neighbouring seaport town. The first contained the two little Channells and their nurses ; in the second sat Rhoda and Nelly, _ Aud before the vehicles were out of sight, Robert Channell had turned his steps in the direction of the curate‘s lodging. He met the youug man in the lane outside the sexton‘s cottage and gave him a kindly good morning. "I heard Eve say," she went on, "that she would never build her house cn the ruins of another woman‘s happiness. And God forbid that I should build mine on ground that has never rightly belouged me! But I wish he had told me the truth. He has done me a greater wrong in hidâ€" ing it, than in speaking it out." "I was very foolish," repeated Nelly, with a sigh, It touched Rhoda to hear Nelly speak of her old self in the past tense. Yet it was a fact; the youth and folly had had their day. Nelly would never be so young again, for sorrow takes away | girlhood when it teaches wisdom. "Mamma," she said piteously "he has never loved mo at all. He gave me all he could give ; but it is only the silver, not the gold. It is very very humiliating, bus it is the truth, and it most be faced. _ ‘Toâ€" night, when I heard him speaking to Eve Hazelburn, I understood the Aifference beg tweer. love and liking. He liked me, and perhaps he saw more thian I meant him to see! O mamma I was very young and foolish !" An hour later, Rhod& was sitting by Nelly‘s pillow, talking to her in the sweet hush of the August twilight. Already the heat of anger had passed away. _ The girl‘s thouglits had gone back, as Rhoda knew they would, to that winter afternoon When Morgan had asked her to become or.â€" gaged to him. She sauk down on her knees, shivering in her limp wet dress, and hid her face in her stepâ€"mother‘s lap. â€" And then the story was told from beginning to end. When they chatted in low tones, the day was fast closing in. The French windows stood open, and the first breath of the nightâ€"wind stole into the room. A dusky golden haze was settling over the garden ; the air was heavy with flowerâ€" scents an‘l the faint odours of fuilen leaves. Suddenly a great shower of petals from overâ€"blown roses drifted through the caseâ€" ment, and Nelly swept in after them. Robert Channell and his wife were sitâ€" ting together in the library. He had been reading aloud : Shakespeare still Iay open on his knee. Talking, as happy married people love to talk, of the sold days when God first brought them together. "Oh, those two!" she moaned aloud as her home came in sight. â€" "The man whom I loved, the girl whom I would have made my friend !" that tore her thin skirts, as she dashed through gaps in the he Iges. She was not thinking at all, as she hurried along ; she was only feeling,â€"feeling passionately and bitterly that she had been cruelly wronged and deceived. mine," she had said ; let her have both the lover and the money." Eve never ceased to wonder how the Clinzells bad found out th:t#ifr. Myrtle had owed her father threes [‘wn.and ‘"‘There is little probability of that," thought Robert Channell, as he â€"went his way with the address in his pocketâ€"book. And then he thought of Nelly‘s face and voice when she had stated her intention of giving up Mr. Myrtle‘s legaey to Eve. Meanwhile Robert Chaunell had proâ€" ceeded to Laurel House. Mrs. Go!d reâ€" ceived hiin in a depressed manner. Her governess, she said had left her ; and she seemed to consider that Miss Hazelburn had used her unkindly. _ She did not know how such a useful person could be replaced. Nobody would ever satisfy her so well as Miss Hazelburn had done, Yes, she could give the governess‘s address to Mr. Channell. She had chosen to go to Warâ€" wickshire, to live with an invalid lady. Mrs. Gold hoped she would find the post unbearably dull, and return to her former situation. How could he know how these few trite sentences had been written in the anguish of a woman‘s first grest sorrow ? We don‘t recognise the majesty of woe when it masquerades in everyâ€"day garments. It needs a divine sight to find out the real heroes and heroines oflife. If Morgan had been questioned about Nelly, the term "heroine" would have been the very last that he would have appliel to her. _ And yet Nelly, quite urconsciously, hal acted in the true spirit of heroism. Byâ€"andâ€"by the sense of relicf began to make itself felt, and Morgan‘s heart grew wonderfully light. He went through his usual routine of duties, and then took his way to the rectory. He raust give the rector timely notics of his intention to resign the curacy. He read Nelly‘s note again. It was a very common place little letter, written in a slopmmg feminine hand. She used that stereotyped phrase, which, hackneyed as it is, does as well, orbetter than any other, "I feel we are not suited for each other." This was the sole exeuse offered for breakâ€" ing the engagement, and surely it was exâ€" cuse enough. It would be too much to say that the curate "regained his freedom with a sigh." Yet certain it is that this unlookedâ€"for reâ€" lease set his heart aching ; it might be that his antour propre was slightly woundâ€" ed, for was it not a little hard to find that the girl for whom he had been making a martyr of himself could do very well without him 2 He had climbed the height of geliâ€"sacrifice, only to find deliverance. The spirit of sacrifice had been required of him ; but the crowning act was not deâ€" manded. . . Then the two men parted with a close handâ€"shake. _ And Mr. Channell looked back to say, almost carolessly,â€" "My family have migrated to S.uthsea for a month or two. I follow them toâ€" morrow." Presently ho came down stairs, and entered the parlour with the locket and a little packet of letters. These he guve silently into Mr. Channell‘s hands. ‘"Morgan," said Mr. Cannell, "L am heartily sorry for this. Don‘t think that I shall ceaso to feel for you as a friend, because I cannot have you for a soaâ€"inâ€" law." ‘‘Better so, perliaps," Robert responded. **You ought to labour in a larger sphere. You have great eapacities for hard work, Morgan." "I shall never forget all your kindness," Morgan answered, in a low voice. â€" "But The hour of release had come. He took out a plain gold locket, which had always been worn unscen, and detached it from its guard. He opened it and looked long and sadly at the fair face that it contained. It was a delicately painted photograph, true to life ; and locket and portrait had been Nelly‘s first gift. The smile was her own smile, frank and bright ; the brown eyes seemed to look straight at the gazer. O Nelly," he said, kissing the picture, "why couldn‘t I love you better? â€" Thank God for this painless parting! No wonder that you wearied of me, dear ; you will be a thousand times freer and happier withâ€" out me." I shall soon leave this place Mr. Chanâ€" nell." They walked out of the churchyard, and down the lane to the sexton‘s cottage. And then Morgan left Mr. Channell sitting in the little parlour, while he went upâ€"stairs to his room. * If you will come to my lodging, Mr. Channell, I will give you Nelly‘s letters and her portrait. She may like to have them back again without delay." When he spoke, his words were very few. . Perhaps Nelly‘s father rospected him none theless because he made no preâ€" tence of great sorrow. _ His fice was pale, and his voice treimlled a hittle, as he said quietly,â€" The curate was silent for some moments. No suspicion of the truth crossed his mind. He concluded, not unnaturally, that he had been too quiet and grave a lover for the bright girl. That was «ll. October had ‘ust set in when Eve and U .iversity Morgan. She begs you, through me, to forgive her for auy pain that she may cause you. She wants you to remembe: her kindly, always, but neither to write to her, nor seek to see her again."

John Elder & Co., £60,000 has heen lett to the building fund of Glasgow we i2 cca s It is now rather more than a century and a l(lucmle since General Sir Guy Carleton earried | the British flag trumphantly inNorth America, and drove the French out of Canada. He was the first Governor of that splendid dependency of the Crown, and like the last, was an Trishâ€" man. Born at Strabane, in the County of Tyrone, he brought to the government of Canada not only the courage and #cience of the soldier but the sagacity and strength of purpose of the statesman. But for him the Dominion, which now rejoices in its attachâ€" ment and loyalty to the Crown of Great Britâ€" ain, would have added other stars to the banâ€" ner of the United States. For these great services he was rewarded with a pecrage. The work which he commenced has beer continuâ€" ed by his suceessors, but by none more skilâ€" fully than by Lord Dufferin, who was also born in the northern Province of the sister country. The adininistration of Lord Dufferin ‘[ has been singularly felicitous. Had he hearkâ€" ened to the yoice of the political party who a }(ew years ago clamored for separation from the Colonies, as they now do for leaving India to her fate, the fecling in Canada towards the mother country would have been very difâ€" ferent from what it is. Canada is happy and prosperous, because it has enjoyed the rare good fortune of having had a szccession of able governors. It was their aim to draw more closely the ties which bound the colony to the mother country, and to shew the reâ€" eiprocal advantages to be derived from a close and a cordial union. British statesmen of fit‘ Whig school did not hesitate a few years ago to express an opinion Athat on the whole it would be better to sast the colonies adrift,and leave them to defend theirselves against the enemies of England. Experience shows how fatal such a policy would have been, and the latest Canadian offer to equip iments for India is a proof not only of tlumyof the Dommion to the Crown, but of the lfifih and resources of our far extended empire, No public man is likely now to commit himself to the silly declarationâ€"**Perish thecolonies." "I am thinking," she said of something that was spoken long ag>. It was when I was in greft troulle, dear, and felt as if I couldn‘t be comforted. *Dont forget,‘ my stepâ€"mother said to me, ‘that God can bless those whom He puts asunder, as well as those whom He joins together.‘ Aud 1 think I‘m realsing the trath of those words toâ€"nizht." There was a quict handâ€"clasp in the erowded aisle ; and then these two woâ€" men went their respective ways. And a voice seemed to be ringing in Nelly‘s cars. as she leaned upon her hasband‘s arm. The First and Last Canagian Governor. As Nelly looked onee nore on Eve, there was revealed to her a strange glimpse of what might have been if those two had been kept apart, and she had taken Eveo‘s place. She saw herself a restles, unsatisfied wife, always craving for a vagae something that was withheld. She saw Morgan cri pâ€" pled, not helped, by her riches ; a good man still, but one who had, somehow, missed his footing, and failed to climb # high as had been expected of him. _ And she comprehended, fully and thauktally, the great love and pity of that Being who had saved them from their mistake. They were not dissappointed in him. As they listened, they understood how and why he won such a ready hearing ; and when the sermon was over, Nelly turned to her husband again with the old bright look; and he answered her with a slight nod of satisfaction. Then, and not till then did she perceive a familier face at the top of the pew. In the crowd were two parsons who ma naged to get good seats in the middle aisle. They were husband and wife ; he a brave soldier, she a beantiful woman. It would not have been easy to have found a couple better satisfied with each other. They exchanged a quick glance of intelligence when the preacher ascended the pulpit stairs, and then composed themselves to listen. They said very little to each othor at that moment. â€" A great deal had alread, been said on paper, and they could afford _to be quict just then. T gether they entered the church, a bapp) pair of worshippers, "stuging and imaking melody in their hearts to the Lozd." *A thousand times happler," Eve remorked afterwards, "than â€"we gonld cever hay dared to be if another had suffered for om joy." About two years azo, a great erowd as seumibled in one of the largest churches in London to hear a popular preacher. â€" HMe had, it was said, a rare power of touching men‘s hearts, and of bMifting their thoughts out of the mire and clay of this working day world. _ And often, too, his wife‘s name was coupled with his; for she by her written words, was doing angel‘s work among the people. . Fashionable society krew them only as preacher and writer 5 but some of the unfasluonable were better aequainted with them. Morgan met again.
