stead of giving it all, to the hungry,
lank-sided, half.famished, bat whole
souled, speils-craving spawn of Radi,
calism. He thinks 1T very hard
ease, that any Journal representing
the intelligence, wealth and respeeta-

the benefit of one cent, of the taxes
paid into the Treasury, by their con-
atituency, while the exponents OF car

bellies, bare backsr and souls, flied
with hatred for ttle gallant and hon

COMING T0GETHER,

do not think it quite fair that big
men with broad shoulders and mus
cfes OF iron should always be the he
roes of stories: Men Of small or
medium stature, and without any
muscfes.to speak of, constitute the
great majority Of mankind and az
the world does go on, and the popu-
lation steadily increases, it is to be
supposed that a large number Of oung
ladies are found who are willing to
be wives toImen who are not Admlra-
BILE Crichtons.
At.any rate the present story re-
lates to man whom any OF these
athletic giants would have contempt
uously spoken of as muti. l am ,
sorry that it should be so, for I feel
that this frank confession will destroy
all int res, in the story to a large
proportion of lady-readers; but It
cannot be helped, because I must keep
to facts.

terror by observing the bull sdvanc-

date, the cure Of Karslake was con-
temptuously refused by all the SEMI
or. fellows, but readily accepted by
Richard Hallowes. AS it was worth
about three hundred a-year, with a
house and very small glebe, Hallowes
thought it better to take it than tc
wait for years until his turn came fol
Il richer gift. .,
1t stood upon the confines of the great
coal district of StaHordshire; but
although there were two or three col
liery- y-chimneys in the valley, these
did not affect the general rural aspect
of the country; and twas only by
ascending to, Shs.bfewliof the hill
that the dull smoke-cloud which eVel
hangs over the mining districts was
visible. Fhe' miners inhabited little
villages Of their own. built ior then
close to the shafts, and were princi
pally strangers, having little IN com
mon with the rustic population arouno
them.
Karslake itself was a quiet little
town, standing upon rising, but mo-
high, ground. It's population was
under.a thousand, but it was scatter
ed over large surface; for, with th'
exception OF the main street, 1t wa'
careless, struggling place, most o
the houses having SNAIL ga1aen-plot
attached. 1t was, in fact, a village
rather than a town.
The Reverend Richard Hallowe
had not bee.. settled three mouths IL
the parsonage-house at Karslake be
fore he came very seriously to tn
CO.. .clusion that it was his duty t.
marry. He had always been OF opln
ion, very rightly, that a clergyman il
charge of a'pansb, to be OF any rea
utility, should be married; and h
had also very strong theory of tn
kind OF woman who ought to be
rector wife-a kind-hesrted, moth
erly sort of woman, earnest IN a.
sisting her husband, indefatrgabl
among the poor, and peaeemaker t
the whole parish. -.
Now, out Of the ten or twelve youn;
ladies of KarSlake, there were thi :
or four who came very fairly up u
Mr.. r..IIallowes' ideal :. either OF tn
Miss Stuprts, the doctors daughters
or Miss Herslet, or Miss Penroee
would do. They were all quiet, sen
sibleaids ! any pne Of them would
!; the Reverend Richard acknowledge,
to, himself, make him very excel
lent wife but he had atpresent mad
no step whatever towards ganinr
the affections OF either Of these Ia
dies. Not even the gossips of tn
place could find the smallest pretenc
ior coupling his name with either G
them.
. The Reverend Richard alIoWed-aI

Laura tossed her head again, and
said, 'Nonsenser But her brother
had pretty accurately sketched her
ideal, for all that
The brother and sister were very
fond of getting into a small boat,
pulling some miles up the canal to
where it ran through thick wood,
and then they would get out and eat
the lunch they carried with them.
Sometimes they took a friend or
two with them more often they went
alone.
Upon one occasion, as they had
Just started, they saw Mr.. HaIlowes,
who sas coming along the towing
path. After the first greetings, Regi-
nald Hernshawe asked
Where are you going, Mr.. Hal,
lowes?'
II was going back to Karslake.
I have Just been down to. read to
an old woman in one of your cot,
tages.
Then you have nothing particular
to do?'
No; nothing whatever.
will you get in, then, and 60 with
us? We have got lunch with MS, and
are going to the Hanger
Mr.. Hallowes assented, although
an inward monitor whispered to him
that he had better not.
AS the boat drew near to the shore
Miss Hernshawe said
Will you take my oar, Mr. Hal

I should be very happy, Mis.
Hernshawe,' bat | really know moth
ing of rowing; l never had an oar in

Laura Hernshawe's face certainly
expressed a rather contemptuous pity
however, she only Said

request the rector to leave the rud

them when told to do so, and to le

Reginald was angry at what he con-
sidered the gross stupidity of the
clergyman in upsetting the boat and
getting Laura wet; while Laura was
oaly thinking how intensely disagree
abl. it would be if it got to be known
and talked about in Karslake that

again till the tears came into her

The brother could not help laugh
ing too, and by the time their clothes
were dried they had quite recovered
their good temper. Then asking the
farmers wife, who Of course knew
them, to say nothing about their. hay
ing had ducking, as it might make
Mrs. Hernshawe uncomfortable if
it came to her ears, they went down
again to their boat, and pulled home
Laura gained her room without be-

what had taken place, except. that
Laura's s maid, on observing the per
fectlv unstarched appearance Of her
dress, came to her own conclusion
that her young mistress must have
somehow slipped into the water.
As the rector had also gained the
parsonage unobserved, n u rumour
Of the occurrence reached Karslake,
greatly to Laura Hernshawe's com.

The relations between the Rever-
end Richard and the young lady
were not improved by the accident;
