ting with his love under the Oak-trees
at Monkhams, and Dorothy was being
converted into Mrs. Brooke Burgess Ill
Exeter Cathedral, Mrs. Trevelyan was
living with her husband in The cottage
at Twicken ham. Her life was dreary
enough, and there was but little of hope
in il 10 make its dreariness suppOrtable.
AS often happens In periods OF sickness,
the single friend who could now DO OF
service to the Que or To he other was
the doctor. He came daily to them,
and with that quick growth of conf
leuce which medical kindness always
inspires, Trevelyan told to this gentle
man all the history of his married life
and all that Trevelyau told to him he
repeated to Trevelyan's wife. 1t may
therefore be understood that Trevel-
van, between them, was treated like a
child.
DIR. Neviu had soon been able to tell
Mrs. Trevelyan that her husbands
health had been so shattered as to make
il improbable that he should ever again
be strong either in body or mind. He
would not admit, even when treating
his patient like child, that he bad ever
been mad, and spoke of Sir Marina
dukes threat as unfortunate. But
what could papa have done !" asked the
wife.
at is often, DO doubt, difficult to
know what to do: but threats are seldom
of avail to bring a man back to reason.
Your father was angry with him, and
vet declared that he was mad. That in
itself was hardly rational"
One does rot become angry with q
mailman; but while a man has power in
his hands over others. and when he
misuses that power grossly and cruelty,
who is there that Will not be angry !!
The misery of the insane more thor
oughly excites our pity than any other
suffering to which humanity is subject;
but it is necessary that the madness
should be acknow lodged to be madness
before the pity can he felt. One can for
give, or, at any rate. make excuses for
any injury when it is done: but il is al
most beyond human nature to forgive an
injury when it is ADDING, let the condi-
ton of the dcer be what it may. Emily
Trcvelyan at this time suffered infinite
". She was still willing to.yield in all
thinps possible. because her husband
was i'll. because perhaps he was dying;
but she could no ioRger satisfy herself
with thinking that all that she admit
ted-all that she was still ready 10 adj
mit-had been conceded in ORDER that
her concessions might tend to soften the
atiictlon OF one whose reason was gone.
DR.. Nevlll said that her husband was
not mad; and indeed IFevelyan seemed
now To be so clear in his mind that she
could not doubt what the doctor said
TO her. She could not think that he
was mad, and yet he spoke of the last
two years as though he had suffered from
her alBCst all that husband could
suffer from a wife's misconduct. She
was in doubt about his health. "He
may recover" the doctor said; "but he
is so weak that the slightest adj
dItiUnal ailmeDt would take him
of" AT this time Trevelyan could
not raise himself from his bed,
aud was carried, like child, from
one rOOR 10 another. he could eat
nothing solid, and believed himself TO
be dying. In spite OF his weakness, and
of his savage memories in reguard to
the past, he treated his wife on all Or
dinaIy subjects with consideration. He
spoke much of his money, telling her
that he had not altered, aud would not
alter, the will that he had made immedi-
stely ell his marriage. u der that will
