There is a paper called the Chris
tian at Work, which is making a des-
perate effort to secure a robust and
manly ministry. We have heretofore
alluded to and commented upon its
efforts to reform ministerial eating
and now it comes out in favor of min
listers who can make long marches
and do heavy fighting. 1t says ave
want no more doll-babies in the pull
pit, priding themselves on their lily
white fingers and pale cheeks and dy-
ing glances through the rim of gold
spectacles, but we want stalwart men.
We know in the ministry Of the Pres
byterian Church a clergyman who
carries his cat with him when he goes
off to spend his summer vacation.
He cannot bear to leave the poor Great
ure behind. His overfond congrega-
ton have stroked all the vigor out of
him, and now he in turn strokes a cat.
There is nothing more revolving to
us than religious namby. .pambyism."
There is a world of good sense in the
sentiments of the Christian, at Work
and when those sentiments are put in
to actual practice and good, everyday
common sense takes possession Of the
pulpit, as it has of other professions,
we may look to see itsusefulness great

brief marriage. Here Wrayford re-
mained with his old friend. for two
more years, and then Edmonds, who
hpd been long ailing, broke up sud.
denly, ,enjoining his friend with his
last breath to see to Grace, and be to
her all that he would have been him
self had it been Gods will to spare
him. He died possessed Of fve-and-
twenty pounds, which he leftin trustto
Abel Wrayford until his little girl
came of age ; and he enjoined to that
trust sentimental, even foolish re-
quest, that Grace was never to marry
without the consent of her guardian,
on whose judgment, good feeling,
and generosity he knew that he could
rely. 1t was a mere wish, in
Yolving no pains and penalty, no
forfeiture of the little legacy-merely
a simple expression of his confidence
in the guardian whom he had ap-
pointed, and a hint to Grace, as she
grew older, where he thought she
would find her best friend and truest
adviser: Perhaps he was the only
one in the world who thoroughly un-
derstood Abel Wrayford, but he had
been like Abel's big brother atschoo].
and they had been staunch friends
through life together.
Abel was a young guardian, but
his father and mother were living
when he took Edmond's child back to
his Cornish home, and bade them help
him with his trust, which they, did
cheerfally and willingly, as: though
Oracle. had been a child of their own.
They both died before Grace was a
woman, and Grace had been Wray-
ford's fairy housekeeper some years
when our story opens on them. She
was close on eighteen years of age,
and he had passed his seven-and-
thirtieth summer, and was 'Old
Wrayford" to the world of Greymoor
old Wrayford to his ward also, for
she called him father, and saw in him
almost the father whom she had lost.
He was proud of the title which her
love had given him, and often called
her bis child, and there was no one
in the world so near to his, heart as
she was. The people in the village
below them-for Wrayford's house
was perched high up among the rocks
called her Miss Wrayford more
often than Miss Edmonds, and
thought her life must be very dull
and lonely one with that gray-haired,
grave man, whose soul was in his
studies, and whose lamp, like a dan
ger-signal in the topmost room, burn.

"Certainly," was the answer; "

"How strange!" said Grace.
"Ah! it would have been better to
stick to the profession" said the chem
ist; "there are less dangerous explos-
ions to be feared from our gases than
from the meeting of opposing polit-
ical atoms. Where did you study

Abel was more interested In his
friends scientific requirements than
in his red republican tenets, and he
set aside bis work to cross-examine
the convalescent. He found that
Victor knew more of chemistry than
he had given him credit for knowing,
that the Frenchman was wrong in
many things which he had learned,
but that it would not take a great
deal of trouble to set him right; for
he was shrewd and clever, and some
what Of a thinker for himself.
Abel Wrayford took a greater in
terest in Victor Dufoy from this day;
he discovered in him a companion
who was Of service, and as Victor
grew stronger, the chemist even be-
gan to think that he should be sorry
to lose him presently. Thus Christ
mas faded into the new year, and still
found Victor a guest at Abel Wray-
ford's table.
1t was time for Dufoy to take his
departure at last. He had been six
weeks at Greymoor, and the place had
grown more like home to him than he
cared to reflect upon it panied him
deeply to think Of leaving it. Abel
Wrayford and Grace had both been
very kind, more than kind, and his
was heart that had been touched by
their generosity. Abel had been as
an elder brother to him, and Grace
more like his sister than a stranger,
and in all England beside he had not
one friend. He did not see his way
clearly to a means of living in Eng
land he had come over very poor;
he and his mother had been poor for
years, owing to the sequestration of
an estate which had belonged to their
family; and in England he was
friendless as we'll as penniless. He
was proud man too, and it wounded
him deeply to know that he must
leave Wrayford in debt-in debt as
to money that was due, and which he
was unable to pay. All this on his
mind, and something more, perhaps,
which he did not care to give voice
to, or bestow more thought than he
cold help upon, and he going away
from Greymoor! Well, the sooner
the better, though his heart sank very
much when he fixed the day, and told
Wrayford that he should leave on
Friday.
"And if I can repay back to you all
the past kindness, dear FRIEND" he
cried, eff my family step into its
rights, and | am less the slave Of cir
cumstances, yours shall be the first
house to which I will come, asking
you and your ward to rejoice with
me over my good fortune. I think
that is, I hope, that shall be able to
repay your kindness some day"

CHAPTER II.
THE NEW CRAZE AND THE NEW

. THE NEW CRAZE AND THE NEW
CONFER.
When an idea entered Abel Wray-
ford's head-and he was always
beset by ideas which interfered with
his legitimate work-it was Grace's
laughing fashion to call it his new
craze: and late in the keen November
month, when our story opens on this
chemists life, a new craze had sud-
denly seized on him. It came to
him in the evening, when the sea
was rough, and broke in thunderous
masses upon the shingle below, when
the wind rioted without and shook
the house, and the rain was hurled
in sheets upon the old-fashioned lat
tice windows. A bitter night for a
bright warm fancy, which danced be-
fore the eyes of the student like
truth within a hands grasp. He
had been writing an article on
color for the Register in his little
wainscoted sitting-room, the result
of an analysis which he had prosecu-
ted in his laboratory up stairs that
very afternoon and Grace was
humming blithely to herself by the
fireside, happy in his silent company,
and not disturbing him in his essay
for Abel was used to her musical
variations, and even affirmed he liked
them, and worked at his best if she
were not studying his peace-when
the thought came to him. The pen
ceased to travel over the paper, the
eyes took a steady survey of the op-
posite wall, the thin white hand took
firm clutch of the chin, and he be-
gan to mutter to himself in an in
sane manner, not particularly ex-
hilarating to an observer, even to one
like Grace, who knew his idiosyncra-
sizes pretty we'll.
"What is the matter, Gardy?"
"Hush, my dear-don't disturb
| me-" he said, in low voice.

low tone, to match his own, taking
up the keynote which he had
| struck.
eyes, I think so. An idea, Grace,
which might lead to fortune, if it were
grasped at once, and there were no
flaws to mar its successful issue.'
"Oh! but you have had SO many

hinted land There have been many
flaws in them, which have led us a
long way out of the right road"
eyes, as you say" he answered,
absently; "but don't talk to me just
now"
Grace was silent after this entreaty.
She bent her head over her work,
and feigned to be industrious, glanc-
ing now and then at her gray.haired,
pale-faced guardian, and wishing, in
her heart, that he would turn to the
pages of his manuscript. Quarter-day
was close upon them, and she knew
that there had not been much cash set
aside for it, much money saved for it.

LACE-WORK.

The manufacture of Burano lace
has lately been revived and school
established in which young girls are
receiving instruction in the delicate
and beautiful art. The little Island
of Burano lies in the Adriatic, about
5 miles north of Venice. The imme-
diate demand for the first specimens
of this famous "point d'Alencon,"
lace has been extraordinary. The
cost per yard for lace two-ffths of an
inch wide is about 100 francs, and
this price is considered to be under
its actual value. One workwoman
must labor five hours for $50 days to
produce a single yard. Her pay
per diem is Sd. The ''gros point de
Venise" is also to be revived at Bura-
no. It is estimated that the man
ufacture of l metre "a little over a
yard) Of this lace of the finest quality,
not surpassed by the best of ancient
times, requires three months labor Of
one person on the network; one
mouths labor Of one person on the
flowers; and one months labor of
one person on the ornamental border.
DR.. .Fambri, the Deputy to the ltal-
ian Parliament, suggests that "this
industry should be developed, we're it
only to save the secret Of the art, as
no kind of manufacture exists more
capable of giving sustenance to thous-
ands with a mere nominal capital"

Friendship.

Friendship IS term used in various
forms of expression, by men in their in
teroourse with each other 1t enters
largely into epistolary correspondence,
especially at the close Of each letter,
where it assumes such forms OF expires
sion as your most obedient servant"
"yours truly" yours until DEATH" &c
Where in fact, the writer had not the
remotest idea of being or doing what he
said. And to omit these endearing
phrases, is as much as violation of ETH
quette, as thcIr insertion is a violation
of the truth; but truth, ike people, must
at times bend to the behests Of fashion.
Friendship is also synonym for what
ever is meant by sounding brass and a
tinkIing cymbal'
Men are profuse in their expressions
of friendship, but-somewhat chary in its
practice, saving always when, it will in
sure to their own interest. Perhaps
they are not much to blame for this,
since the Patron Saint Of the world first
insinuated himself into the good graces
of its maternal pFogenitor in the guise
Of friendship. And even since that hap
less day men have been seeking to attain
similar ends by similar means.
As an article Of commerce, friendship
is held at various prices Some kinds are
worthless even as a gift. The genuine
article is priceless, aud is never exposed
on tae marts of trade. 1t is scarce even
as old mocha coffee, genuine sugar house
molasses, or pure whiskey, and is priced
by many men, next after the latter 1t
is also the fourth wonder of the world
(new series.) This proud emminence
is accorded it because every nation, kim
dyed and tongue, on the face Of the earth
expect to fool and be fooled, be cheated
and cheat each other in its name till
"wrapp'd in flames the realms OF ether
glow,
And heav'ns last thunder shakes the
world below"
Friendship is said to be 'lovs without
his wings, kind Of fedgling cupid, an
imitation love. Hence, women as a ger
eral rule, Do not excel in friendship. They

ton Cor false) curis, hair, flowers, aud a
few other things that make up, or set off
their many charms to the best advantage
but al imitation love rarely, CT never
finds favor in their eyes. JOSH.
