PART II.

One morning after the new year, Hyde
was returning to the Manor house
from New York 1t was day to OPP
press thought, and tighten the heart,
and kill all hope and energy. There was
a monotonous rain and a sky like that
OF a past age-solemn and leaden-and
the mud of the roads was unSpeakable.
He was compelled to ride slowly and to
feel in its full force, as 1t were, the hos
tility of nature. AS he reached his home
the rain ceased, and thick mist, with
noiselesS entrance, pervaded all the en-
vironment; but no life, or sound of life,
broke the melancholy sense of his utter
desolation.
In spite of his grief for Cornelia's re-
moval from New York, he was not in
sensible to the pleasure of Annie's APP
prevail. He liked to show himself TO her
when he knew he could appear to ad-
vantage; and there was nothing more in
this desire, than that healthy wish for
appreciation that is natural to self-re-
specting youth
He heard her singing as he approached
the drawing room, and he opened the
door noselessly and went in. If she was
conscious of his entrance she made no
sign of it, and Hyde did not seem to ex-
pect it. He glanced at her as he might
have glanced at a priest by the altar,
and went softly to the ireside and sat
DOWN. AT this moment she had a solemn
sanity beauty; her small pale face was
luminous with spiritual joy, her eyes
glowing with rapture, and her hands NOV
ing among the ivory keys of the piano
made enchanting melody to her inspired
longing:
Jerusalem the golden,
With Eailk and honey best,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.
Q one 0 only mansion,
y paradise of jOyi
Where tears are ever banished.
And smiles have no alloy
And as these eager, imprisoned words
rose heavenward. it seemed to Hyde that
her innocent longing soul was half way
out Of her frail little body.
Cousin" she said, 1T am most glad
to see you. Everybody has some work
TO do today"
And you, Annie?"
"In this world 1 have no work to do"
she answered.
my soul is here for a purchase; when
have made it shall go home again.
And Hyde looked at her with such Gu
rieus interest that she added, 81 am
buying patience.
20 indeedI That Is a commodity not
in the market"
at assure you it Is 1 buy 1t daily.
Once I used to wonder what for I had
come to earth. 1 had no strength, no
beauty, nothing at all to buy earth's
good things with. Three years ago 1
found out that had come to buy for my
soul, the grace of patience. If 1 do not
get my own way, say, Soul. His way
is best; and thus. day by day / am
buying patience"
but it is not possible this can content
you. You must have some other hope and
desire, Annie
Perhaps I once had-and today is a
good time to speak of it to you, because
Ill -
know what my father desired, and what
your father promised for US both?"
Yes. Did you desire it, Annie?'
Il shall marry no one. will show
you the better way. Few can walk in it.
but DR.. Roslyn says he thinks it may be
my part-my happy part-to do so.'' And
as she spoke she took from the little
pocket at her side small copy of the
Gospels, and it opened of its own &C
count at the SEVENTEEN chapter of ST.
Luke. &c., she said, "and read 1t for
yourself, George"
The children of this world marry and
are given in marriage. But they which
shall be accounted worthy to obtain
that world and the resurrection from the
dead, never marry nor are given in mar
riage.''
Dear Annie. I cannot understand this -
Then Hyde plunged with headlong pre-
cipitancy into the story of his love for
way in which it had been brought to a
close And yesterday" he continued
with sob In his voice; yesterday I
heard that her father had taken her to
Philadelphia. 1 shall see her no more. He
will marry her to Rem Van Ariens or to
one of her Quaker cousins, and the taste
Is taken out of my life, and I am only q
walking misery. 1 do not believe it is
Cornelia's fault. Here is her letter. Read
It"
Then Annie took the letter, and after
reading 1t said: IF she be all you say
will vow she wrote this in her sleep. I
should like to see her. Why do YOU think
wrong of her? What is love without
faith in the one you love? Do you know
first and finally what true love is? 1t is
thinking kindly and nobly. For If we give
all we have, and do all we can do and
yet think unkindly, 1t profits US moth
ing"
Before Hyde could answer the earl
came into the room, and the young man
was glad to see his father
My dear George" he said ct am de-
lighted to see you. I was afraid you
would stay in the city this dreadful
weather Is there any news?''
"a great deal, sir. I have brought Won
English and French papers,
l will read them at my leisure Give
me the English news first What is 1t in
substance?"
Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Burke are quarrel
Ing as usual, and Mr. Pitt is making
the excuses of France the excuse for
keeping back reform in England. 1t is
the old story. did not care to read it
The French papers tell their side of it.
They call Burke a mailman and Pitt a
monster, and the Moniteur accuses them
OF having misrepresented the great
French nation, and says: They will soon
be laid PROSTATE before the statue of
Liberty, from which they shall only rise
to mount the scaffold etc.
What bombastic nonsenser'
Minister Morris is in the midst of hor-
rors uncomfortable The other foreign
ministers have left France, and the
French government is deserted by all the
world; yet Mr. Morris remains AT his
post though he was lately arrested h
the street and his house searched by
armed men,.
"It Is to be hoped that Jefferson is now
convinced of the execrable nature ii
these brutal revolutionists''
ST can assure you sir, ne is not. He
still excuses all their denominations and
says, Minister Morris is a high fivine
monarchy man, and not to be takeT
without great allownce. I hear thai
Madame Kippon's daughter, whom Mr.
Morris rescued at the last hour, has ar
rived from New York; and yesterday
