SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS EDUoArIoN.-Rev.
MT. SPurgeoD, at a recent workingmen.s meet
ing at Exeter Hall, England, made an important
suggestion. Under the education bill. i'm its
latest shape, combined religious and secular in
struction i'm the rule, secular instruction alone
the exception. Mr.. Spurgeon's proposal is
simply to reverse this arrangement-to make
secular instruction the rule, and the added
religious instruction the exception. An children
would then be assumed 10 attend only for the
former, unless express application was made by
their parents tor permission TO attend during
hours set apart for religious lessons. IL an
interval were appointed between the periods OF
religious ans secular teaching, during which the
schoolroom should be cleared altogether, a fair
compromise would be arrived at on this point.

SHOUTING AMONG METHODIsTs. - II In
known that some years ago shoueing in
Methodist meetings YVES universal thing.
1t is equally well known that Of late years
the practice has totally ceased. The cause
Of this change has become matter OF con-
troversy, some attributing it 20 the col6-
ness of the preachers, others to the want of
piety in the people. But yenersble
writer in the Pittsburg Christian Adcocass
"a Methodist paper, of course--claims to
have found out the reason why shouting
has ceased-in fact chit the nail on the
head" as follows:
Sir, in olden times, used frequently g
shout, and I know that had MO better
preaching to shout under then than some
times have now. but like thes rest Of my
aged brethren, my days of shouting are
passed, fear never more to return. An6
this is not because have Loaf my reIieicn.
God Forbid attend to nv refiSi1z1
duties, both public and private, AZ faith
fully as ever, and trust that have n roch5
hope of everlasting life.
But what has killed of shouting mora
than anything else, has been this constants
for money. Whenever we6eai
unoer the preaching like shouting, ea n
sometimes the case, we are restrained IN
toward heaven the preacher may aonf IA

pockets when he comes down, aud ira1az,-

CHAPTER X.
By M. ARcHDEAcoN, ESQ.


Ellen found, on entering the cottage, thai
the bell had been used as q summons fol
Katy, in consequence of sudden and
startling change in Sir Edmund; and, OF
approaching the bedside, she was utterly
shocked-afmost paralyzed by the fearful
Ellen-is this my own Ellen 2" he said
in low, faint voice, his eyes settling ON
her with dim and struggling gaze, after
having glanced wildly around, and his
cold, wasted fingers resting on hers, Gel
LEM" he continued, slowly, and struggling
: hard for the fast-departing breath: al
believe have been dreaming, or am 1
still in re-a-i-ty in this worldf l
thought 1 was with your mother, and
that we were again Joined for ever, and
we were longing for you; and oh, it must
be long way back, feel SO wea-ried,
you, my own jewel, and be fa-ther-
TO you-and-keep-you- in-the-true-
f-a-i-t-h." The eye gradually closed
for ever. Like the wasting taper, it's
light became extinct; but while the faint
est glimmering remained, it was shed on
phan, in troubled world and the lips
were in motion, endeavoring to shape her
name after the power of utterance had
ceased.
Ellen neither shrieked nor tainted, though
the old woman uttered a fearful cry when
L..
took the stiffened hand in her own, pressed
heEmouth to his, when she thought she
feitkhe breath still issuing, and besought
her dear father to say only one small word,
that she might know he still heard her.
She could not bring herself to believe the
father she SO loved, and by whom she was
30 beloved, could thus depart and leave
her alone with 30 little warning.
The rumor of Sir Edmund's death spread
but slowly in that scattered neighborhood;
and but few were the mourners-chiefly
aged women and bOys-that congregated
to the wake that night. But on the follow
ing night there was considerable assem-
blage of the peasantry, many of whom had
come several miles to testify their regret
and respect for him, however fallen, under
whose fathers they and theirs had lived for
centuries and centuries. There was, how
ever, no wild or noisy wailing, owing less,
perhaps, even to the circumstances of the
time, than to respect for the sacredness of
Ellen's grief.
1t was late in the night after Sir Ed
mund's decease, when Father Kilger enter |
ed the cottage. He had been in distant
portion of the parish, and had not learned |
the tidings of his old friends death till |
lew hours previously, since when he had |
crossed streams and traversed mountain |
and bog In the rain and darkness, in order |
to reach the cottage before the funeral |
could possibly take place. Immediately |
after his entrance, having offered some |
coneoiation TO Ellen, on her last and great /
est bereavement, and exhorted her to bear
1t, as the Christian should, without muir
murink and without repining, he proceeded |
to give her the Observation-Disclosures human
being could afford by the celebration of
Macs for her fathers eternal repose. Pre-
however, to the sacred ceremony,
much caution was requisite and exercised,
