The Stanton fawily were assembled in their pleasant breakfist room around a table spread with every luxury that could tempt a capricious appetite. Mr. Stanton, a rather sternâ€"looking man of perhaps fifty years, read the morning paper while he waited for his chocolate, which lis handâ€" some, dignified wite dispensed from behind the silver urn. "It is, indeed," said Mr. Stanton. "I should have thouglt of any house in the city falling before Berwick & Son : but they have been going very fast lately." "Well, mamma," said the clear incisive vorce of Mrs. Stanton‘s youngestâ€"born, which that lady dreaded to hear sometimes, "does failing in business make him one of our worst young men 2" 10 "Why, certainly not, dear," was the answer ; "but of course it changes his poâ€" sition in society. Yon are not old enough to understand it, Lee." Still that auxious look toward Laura, who gave no sign of the struggle going on in her proud heart. If she bad ever loved anybody, it had been Arnold Berwick ; and she knew she had given him reason to beâ€" lieve that she did, But she was old enough to know that this must all be forgotten now,â€"for a itanton could not marry a poor man. The struggle was not a very hard cne, for Lavnra‘s nature was rather shallow, and she had been well trained. She was enâ€" abled very soon to lift her eyes to her mother‘s with a reâ€"assuring smile, and to say lightly,â€" | tua iB **Too bal he failed just before the ball at the opera house ; he is the bes; dancer in the city."

As she started home that evening, she hesitated, walked a few rods on the homeâ€" ward way, then tarned resolutely back. "I want some now gloves," she said, looking down at her hands, where one rosy finger had worn its way through its kid covering ; "and I‘m going to Millor‘s after them." "Goodâ€"exening, Mr. Berwick, 1"â€"and then the clear voice faltered, and "I‘m so sorry for you," finished the trembling red lips. So, a little lator, Arnold ‘Berwick was surprised to see a little figure in a navyâ€"blue waterproof walk up to his counter, and exâ€" tend a little hand in a worn glove. That was not at all what Leah intended to say ; but it was now too late to recall it, and she looked up bravely into the brown eyes above her. "‘That Arnold Berwick always hell his head so high,"said one girl who had always been Leah‘s pet detestation ; "and now, just think, he has taken a elerkship in Milâ€" ler‘s new store." "I suppose he will hold his head just as high above certain people as he ever did." said Lee sharply, and a little maliciously,â€" for the young laudy‘s father was more than suspected of having gained his fortune by cheating the govern:mont. "This shows he‘s honest at any rate, and is not going to cheat his credititors." Arnold lad not given way before to his feelings over the eatastrophe that had so sadly changed his fortane ; but the firm lips trembled now under the dark moustache as he gave the little hand a warm pressure, â€"wondering, as he did so, if the elder sister would give him as cordial a greeting. "You are very kind, Miss Lee," he said. "I have felt as though I had not many friends left ; but I see there is hope for me yet. Can I do anything for you toâ€"day ?" "Yes ; a pair of gloves." IHe could not help thinking this only an exceuse ; but he found the number wanted, and watched her fit them on. ‘Then there was a little more conversatior, about the weather, and so forth, and Arnold Berwick thought, as he opened the door for the slight, gracefal figure‘s exitâ€" "Strange I never noticed before what wonderfally temdler eyes that child has!" That evening Arnold Berwick‘s card was sent up to Laura Stanton, and returned with the chilling indorsement** Not at home," although the gentleman could have sworn he saw the fair face at the window as he ascended the steps. mamina was pleasant to him ; Laura dane ed with him, and let him make love to her; and Arthur rode and smoked with him. Now look at the difference. He is just as good as ever he was ; and I‘m going to troat him just as well. I never want to be | a young lady if it makes me as cold hearted | as you are, Laura." i "*Mamma," said the young lady addressâ€" |ed, "eau‘t you teach that child a little ; reason 2" J And she swept indignantly from the { room. «‘None whatever," said the immother ; "Laura is too sensible, and too ambitious. So the conversation ended. Leah went down the broad steps, out on the pavement, her heart still swelling with indignation, longing in some way to show her friend Arnold that she would not change, if all the world did. At school she heard the story repeated, and all the changes rung upon it. "So that dream is over," he thought, as he retraced his steps. * ‘There is no truth or honor in womanhood." "It is a good thing for you, my4 dear," said her father, laughing, as he too arose, "that she is not a young lady. I fancy she will not be so easy managea as Laura. Do you suppose there is any danger at all in that quarter 2" Almost every evening be met Leah, and there passed between them the same cotlial greeting ; for now they felt like old friends and Arnold came to watch for the little figâ€" ure, and to be very lonely and absentâ€"mindâ€" ed when it did not come. Then he thought of a pair of tender blae eyes, with a suspicion of tears in their depths, and the words " I‘m so sorry for you," rang in his ears until he recalled the last bitt.r thought. There were actually tears in the big childish blue eyes, and the little bootâ€"heels were set down emphatically as she left the room to get ready for sehool. " It is wrong for me to go to Miller‘s so much, " thought Leah ; but then I do want something almost every day, and it seems to cheer Mr. Berwick when I come. ‘"Yes ; I do understand, mamma. Beâ€" cause Mr. Berwick is peor now, he must not be invited here any more,and must not make love to Laura any more. I awm glad I ym a little girl. Iintend to be just as kind to him as i can." But one day, as she came out of the store, she came face to face with Arthur, who looked at her with a mischievous laugh,â€" looked at her from her brown head, with its wide schoolâ€"hat,down to the small boot showing so plainly under the short dress. * Dear, dear !" he said ; * my little sisâ€" ter has made a very carly start in life ! Is it the new goods, or the new clerk, that atâ€" tracts you to Miller‘s so freqwenly, Miss Stanton 2" "Leah, my child, you don‘t understand," began the mother ; but was interrupted rather abruptly by this spoiled girl. "Where are you going to lesture next week, Miss Stantou?" inquired Arthor, with moek politeness. Leah is beantifal, and with the beauty that does not fade,â€"a beauty of soul and heart that shines throught the clear, blue eyes, and trembles in smiles about the earnest, tender, lips. The parents are eviâ€" dently very proud of her,â€"the father,thinkâ€" ing what an ornament to his stately home she will be ; the mother planning how soon she will gain another and statelier home ; Laura thinks, with a littlo thrill of envy, how the fresh beauty of her sister will win her crown of belleship trom her ; while Lee herself only thinks how glad she is to be at home after all these years,â€"for, on one pretext or another,they have kept heraway, during all the vacations, at the seaside or in the mountains,â€"and woudering perhaps what has become of the handsome clerk at Miller‘s. Laura breaks the silence, "*So he is ngain one of our "best young men," is he,mamma ?" asks Leah sarcastieâ€" ally. Five years have passed since we found i the Starton family around the breakfastâ€"| table, and now we find them there again. | Theâ€"two elders are percoptibly older ; the marks of care upon their still handsome facâ€" es have grown deeper as the years passed. Arthur has long age flown from the parent nest, and with his bride; has taken up his | abode in a distant city, thore proctising his | profession. â€" Laura, a litue faded and worn at twentyâ€"three, still keeps ~» place at the homeâ€"table, rather overshac==ed just now in the radiant presence of \er younger sister, who, with her wellâ€"earned dipluum,l has left the seminary forever. She pretends not to see t eolor that sweeps into Le goes on rapidlyâ€" "I dare say some one has written it to her. _ Your old friend has come into a fortune, Leah, and has bought out Miller & Brother." It is the elder lady‘s turn now to blush. "You will find that money does make a difference in society, my daughter," is all she says. «* I aim going away to school. Goodâ€"bye, and do not forget your little friend,Lex." Forget her? He knew now, with a strange thrill of pain that he should never forget the sweet, trusting child on this side of the grave; forhe knew that he loved her. **You have not told Lee the news, mamâ€" ma : it will cortainly interest her." "What about, Laura? Oh, yes: Mr. Berwick." All that day Leah is dreaming,â€"now reâ€" soived, like the impetuous child she used to be, to rush cown to Miller‘s store, and tel} Mr. Berwick she is "so glad," as she once told him she was "so sorry ;" then, again, determined to treat him rather coldly it she should meet him,â€"for if he were really the true, earnest friend he once professed to be he would have found some means of comâ€" municating with her during these years of schoolâ€"life. In the days that intervened, she was kept so busy trying on articles in her outâ€" fit tor school that there was not a chance for a goodâ€"bye at the Miller‘s store ; but on the morning of her departure a bouquet was handed to Mr. Berwick, with a little card down deep amoung the pansics and rosebuds that simply said,â€" She does not know the stern sense of honor that has bound Arnold Berwick‘s heart, and kept him silent until the girl he loved was no longer a child, and he eould offer her a station in life worthy her acceptance. She does know a little later that day, however, when a card with "Arpold Berwick" inscribed therenpon is brought to her room, and she goes with swift, undignitiedl steps to the parlor to meet him. _ Knowing her of old, he knew she meant what she said ; and so, lifting his hat poâ€" litely, he sauntered on, while she went in an eatirely different direction. But she knew this was not the end of it, and was not surprised when it was announced in the family conclave next morning that she was to start the week following to a famous board:iugâ€"sehool in one of the Eastern Statâ€" es. Thire was no reason assigned, and not another word said about her visits to Millâ€" er‘s,â€"in which the father knew the child was imnocent ; but, nevertheless, it was betâ€" ter she should go. And he? One look at her face is enough, and he knows there is not need of many words between them. Mr. Stanten is rather surnrised next day by a visit from Mr. Lerwick who asks him to give up his dearest treasure. Of course no objection is made u>w,and all the world knows they are soon to ho married ; but only a very few knows just "how she won him." An effort is being made to reâ€"establish the Mechanies‘ Institute at Clinton. A report from the vicinity of EJduonton says that one farmer there raised this laot seuson 7,000 busheis of wheat, and that another raised 4,000, for all of. which a ready local market was found. In a very unladylike manner the girl jorkâ€" ed her hand away from its clasp and faced him. * Arthur Stanton," she said, " I shall mot go one step further until you leave ** Not so fast, little sis," he said :* it is time your brother was taking care of you. I had no idea you had become a young laâ€" dy so soon." " Leah‘s face flushed hotly ; but she deigned him no answer, quickening her steps to get out of his wayâ€" But he overâ€" took her, and drew her arm in his. +« @ e rich wave of ih‘s cheek, but ‘ popular schools and colleges, tend to proâ€" duce a certain gravity and thoughtfulness 2. In perfect barmony with her ecclesiâ€" astical tempar, the schools and colleges of Scotland are essentially democrage. The i parochial school system, unknown in Engâ€" land, working effectively for three Lundred ‘ years, laid a broad foundation of intelligent individualism all over the country ; while,| at the same time, the higher or middle schools were so neglected, degraded, and starved,that they ceased to afford that style and grade of education which the upper classes and the aristocracy naturally deâ€" manded. In harmony with this, the teachâ€" ing of the higher learning in the Universities: was sunk so low, that academical Greek in | Scotland came to be looked upon only as a | steppingâ€"stone to high scholarship in Oxâ€" ford ; as, indeed, it will remain, so long as: the Scottish people, following out the levellâ€" mg tendency of all democracy, forego to erect any platform, either in sehool or church,for the maintenance of an aristocratic element in education. The style of our teaching in Sceotland, as Well as the charact er of our acâ€"Jemic population, as contrasted with that is Sngland, i8 essentially popular aud plebeian ; the upper classes, and the aristocracy, with a very few praiseworthy exceptions, having withdrawn themselves from the Seottish imniddle schools and Uniâ€" versities as from an element in which they did not fecl themselves at home, and where they could find no field for the assertion of that social supcriority wluich they naturally conceive belongs to their class, 8. In addition to the strongly democratie charseter of the Seottish schools and colâ€" leges, I must specialise two elements as contributing indirectly to the same resultâ€" the Calvinistie theology ot the popular Catechism, and the severely Puritan obserâ€" vance of the Subbath. For whatever olâ€" jections may be made to the Calvinistic dogmas (and it must Le remembered that the most prominent of them are not peâ€" culiarly Seotch, but are found everywhere in the Western Church trom St. Augustin downwards),it is certain that the principles on which they proceed are profoundly metaphysical,and cannot be seriou«ly dealt withâ€"as they are wont to be by Scottish youthâ€"without supplying a very potent stimulant to the thinking faculty. Taking us overhead, as contrasted with the English, I think it may be said that we nre charactâ€" eristically a thinking people ; and of ‘this thinking faculty, after the Calvinistic Catechism and the metaphysical classes in the University, I caunot but think that the so much disparaged strict observance of the Sunday is the nurse. For in Seotland, certainly, the rest of the Sabbath implies with the great majority, not idleness, but sermonâ€"hearing and Bibleâ€"readingâ€"exerâ€" cises both of a kind to stimulate thought and to encourage moral speculation. As certainly as a light and frivoloas way of spending the Lord‘s Day will encourage levity and frivolity in the great mass of the people, so certainly will striet Sabbatarianâ€" ism, when combined with a wide range or ) popular intelligence, the resclt of good and Romans, a religious people; their particular type of religion and Church gevernment they fought out for themselves in a long and obstinate and ultimately successful struggle against the Crown; their tradiâ€" tions as a people, and thoir habils as a reâ€" hgious people, combine to impress a deeidâ€" edly democratic type on their representaâ€" tive men,. ‘The normal Seot is a Presbyâ€" terian ; for whatever advances may latterly have been made in the way of converimg the upper classes to what is looked on as the proper religion for a gentleman, the backbone of Scotland is and will remain Presbyterian. Episcopacy is only her dress coat. 1. The Church of Scotland is a demoâ€" eratie Churchâ€"demoecratic in its constituâ€" tion, cherishing lay influences and estrudâ€" ing bishops ; democratic in its spirit, and widely democratic in its action. The Scotch, moreover,are preeminently,like the ancient College, Edinburgh, Novâ€"mber 6. Sir,â€"Your remarks on tlns subject in your issue of Monday last possess great inâ€" terest not only for the politician, but for every lover of his country,and every student of political history. As a person who has for more than fifty years been in the sonâ€" stant habit of wandering about the eountry, and associating with all classes of the comâ€" munity, I take the liberty. of sending you my conclusions on the subject, which, I hope, may not be without interest to all who take an interest in such matters, withâ€" out any special regard to the politics of the hour :â€" A writer in a recent number of the Lonâ€" don Quarterly attempted to show that the Liberalism of the Scottish people is due to the growth of the Evangehcal party in the Chureh,. The article in question was eviâ€" dently written in the interest of the Conâ€" servative party, and with a Â¥iew to consoâ€" lidatevsthe rau‘s of the Moderate party against the L.serals in the approaching election, and while containing a grain of truth, is, as a whole, a gross misrepresentaâ€" tior of the whole question. Prof. Blackie, in the letter, which we give below, puts the matter in its proper light, and coming from such a source, will be read with great inâ€" terest :â€" in the general mind ; and I need not say that,while Conservatism can be maintained, and has often been maintained, on a mere basis of blind unthinking tradition, th. ideas from which Liberalism springs have Professor Blackie on Scotch 5. There are some peculianties in the character and position of the Seottish arisâ€" tooraey which make their influence in Scotland less powerful than the influence of the English aristocracy is in England. The English aristocracy is ultogether Engâ€" lish, the Seotch aristocracy is far from beâ€" ing altogether Seotch, On the contrary, let me only know that any given person in this country belongs to the aristocracy of the land, and the presumption in my mind will immediately arise that he is altogether an Englishman in his ideas, or,at all events, has a great deal Jess of what is charaeterâ€" istically Scottish in his character than if he had been bred on a lower platform in the social seale. ‘The causes that have producâ€" ed this unnatural relation betwixt the arisâ€" tocracy and the great mass of the people of Scotland a~e many and various ; but the fact is certain ; and no loss cortain the reâ€" sult, that the popular party in Scotland, from want of sympathy with their natural leaders, are often driven into a position of antagonism. . ‘The aristocracy of Beotland, as already rcw arked, are not bred in the same school: ~nd colleges with the people, An increasit , number of them, more from fashion and English connection, I believe, than from conscientious convietion, have ieft the Church of their fathers, and openly joined the rauks of a Church which, whatâ€" ever its merits (an" T ) * »~ dosire to deâ€" ny them), is in 5 oom s seet, antiâ€" national in its tra« <~> ‘iâ€"popular in its character, Add to t .» inat not a few of our aristocracy have exercised, and still exercise, the immense power whieh their gigantic propertios naturally clothe them withal in a way which, however allowable within the striet limits of law, and however justified by a certain nearrow sehool of poâ€" litical economy, has a strong tendency to make the aristocracy unpopular, nud to widen the breach betwoen the fow who possess the land and the many who aro exâ€" cludql from its enjoyment. I allude, of course, here to the gross exclusiveness and selfish vanity of our monstrous Entail Laws (now breaking down, thank God, meh by inch,on all sides), to the habit which certain great proprietors indulge of refusing to grant fous or leases on their property, that they may keep the whole population under their thumb, and smother the growth of any sturdy popular independence or vigorous moral manhood within the sacred girth of their almightiness. Furthermore, while they have shown a remarkable zeal in the preservation of the game on their estates, they have often been utterly indifâ€" ferent to the preservation of the peopleâ€" nay, cleared whole districts of the native population in order to make provision for an absentee Dumfries farmer, and to save themse}ves the trouble of performing theia natural social duties to the district of which they are the head ; and even gone so far a8, in their engrossing pursuit of deerâ€"stalhâ€" ing, to shut up whole glens agninst the foot of the futelligent tourist, and to fence round with iron interdicts those broad Bens from whose breezes our jaded citizens used to draw in the best restoratives of their healith, our poets the best spirit of their inspirati», and our men of science the most real eleâ€" ments of their knowledge.â€"I am, &c., their root in the strong assertion of certain moral principles wor‘.ed out by the reflective faculty of the individuals compusing the community, 4. The Scot is hardâ€"faced, hardâ€"working, and essentially bardy animal. ‘The soil on which he liyes is comparatively thin,} and does not yield its produce except to severe exertion and skilful handling ; and upon this soil he is bred and grows up, not as & fat, smooth, lazy, and complacent animal, but as a stout, weatherâ€" beaten, wiry creature, who has to push his way in the world, with wellâ€"developed bone and wellâ€"pronounced muscle, at every step, and who owes his i advancement altogether to his personal exâ€" ertions. Now, all this extraordinary maniâ€" estation of sturdy individcalism is in its nature essentially democratic ; and whosoâ€" ever has pushed his own way and made his own forpune in this working world, as the Scotch have been accustomed to do it, is in his whole attitude and inspiration essentialâ€" ly a Liberal, No doubt, if he is a suob, yourmoneyedmn.uflermskinghisbuuue, may become an aristoorat ; but what I eay is true in the main ; the spirit that creates wealth in our great industrial ceatres is in its nature Liberal, Your genuine aristoorat is a made man from his birth ; the Liberal makes himself, city before Judge Elliott at the General Sessions.
