in the sermon, so startling and SO
novel that you cannot rid yourself of
it, but keep on asking yourself, is
this a fact? has he an undoubted au-
thority for telling us this? Struggle
how you may, from that time forward
you are an altered man. Of course
you make no admission to the world
at large ofchanged sentiments. The
law of England declares nc man. is
bound to criminate himself, and you
go about as jauntily perhaps even a
little more jauntily-.as of yore; just
as merchant with an approaching
bankruptcy turns out in the park
with more snowy equipage. But
in the solitude of your own dressing
room you know. that the trial is over,
the verdict is given, and all that re-
mains is: to entreat the Court to sus-
pend the judgment. GA long day,
my lord-a long day" A ipitiful
cry it is, sad enough to utter, and
saddcr to listen to.

there are few things so disagreeable

though, as l have said, the knowl-
edge and acceptance of the fact be
the growth of years, yet somehow the
real acknowledgement to ones self
always comes with shock. You
bear a certain stiffness in your back
sincws, and a grogginess about your
ankle joints for years. You take to
soft hairbrushcs, and avoid draughts
and eschew acid wines, by 10 process
so smooth and frictionless az not to be
recognized. You exchange your flip
pant mare, with tendency to shy
and q general skittishncss, for stout
cot of fourteen hands, an easy NOV
er, and quiet to mount. You accept
your dinner invitations with more
discriminating regard for the cook
than the company; but YOU do these
things so gradually as to be imper-
ceprible. 1t is only when you over
hear a cabman speak of you as the
:'old gent, what gave his two bob"
or when fresh young lady asks what
sort of dances were in vogue when
you we're young, that suddenly a new
liebt breaks in on you, and an inde-
scribable sense of terror shoots
through you at the thought that you
hove really rounded ahe "Tottenham'
corner of existence, and have begun
the "run home Not that, even
then, you fully realize all tine horrors
of the situation. Much is ascribed
to the ignorance of the critics; but
