Old and new times seemed bewilderip giy
mixed up togather' as the day went on, and
Anne found herself seized upon iuat as she ussd
TO bs in long past days, for private conferences
with one and another member of the family.
Even Mrs. DAILY, who had never condsscended
to 30 much intimacy before, held her back
with hand on her arm for q minute or two In
the drawing-room, when the rest of the party
went ont for walk, to say
"If they speak to You on the subject hopa
you will say what You can to reconcile Ellen
and Connor TO the change we are making. You
have great influence with Ellen wish you
would make her ace that her discomfort is very
distressing to her father-I cay nothing about
Dyself"
But you should,D cried Anne; "nothing
would be better for Ellen than to have suoh q
motive as sparing you put before her, to help
her to control her feelings"
"lt is not my way to speak about myself.
more consideration If 1 claimed it, but cam
not speak of my own feelings."
Not even to her own daughter. What
strange thing that morbid reserve is," thought
door, seized the arm Mrs. Daily relinquished,
and dragged her ont into the garden:

one can get breath Of sir. oh, Anne, do you
know what it is to feel oil day as If you could
not breathep
"No, / can't say 1 dc, ;" said Anne, laughing.
"Of cour So not, for you never do or say thinRs
to mako people disapprove of you, and look
sab,srise at you out Of their eyes, till you feel
-tafas8 to ueoue.- -kuue; you uHn Tmagfne how
missrabIe - hAss ali been here (for me) since
Pelham and Uncle Charles came. You see
am SO horrid that they can't endure me and
it has opsned mamms's eyes wider than ever
to all my faultsi They try to like me. / can
see that, and study hard to please them, and
watch every word; but jnst when think i am
succeeding, and begin TO feel little happy,
ont comes some unluoky speech from my real
self, and they are disgusted with me again. II
is very uncomfortable to be made so that
ones nearest relations can only like one when
one is pretending to be different from what
one is."
second Ellen Daily was telling in her aunt's IA
vorite walk but it interested Anne quite -
deeply as that other tale had done. as she look
ed down on the eager, changeful face and visit
ful eyes fixed on her now.
"Aune, shall be able to live at all. do you
think, among those English relations Of ours
we're going to, who' II Pelham describes them
rightly, always ssy what they mean, and do
what they intend, and will be for ever making
allowance for Connor and mef Won't die
before l come back. aud see the shadow Of
Lach. .acree grow long on our own lake
"No, certainly not" said Anne, "if you arc
the true-hearted Irish girl take you for, With
not really wrong, and spirit to take and give
back little ridtoule kindly"
"It's not ridicule I'll mind, or get" said
Ellen, signing, "for don't think that at Pol
ham Court the whole family have laugh
among them. It's my own brothers being
as hamed of me that kills me, and the finding
out that always make mistake and yex him
most when try hardest to please him"
Say serve instead of please, and you'll hnd
out how much better the trying snswers." said
Anne, ELLEN, evoaEnsen, you IKE to be

the outside ard that the lesson set for you to
learn in your life should be the same a.
