"Your own way you will take, until
into some great trouble you stumble.
"And then my own way shall take
until out of it stumble"

Like a man he must say, L did wrong
and am sorry for It, and so well
think of those he has wronged, as TO
be sure they will answer, 1t Is for
given."
"And forgotten"
THAT is different. To forgive freely
Is what we owe to our enemy; to 1or-
get not, is what we owe to ourselves
Il think it is cruel, father, to ask
Rem to speak truth to his own injury.

you talk, evil words will you say; and
mind this, Arenta, the evil that comes
out of your lips, into your own bosom
= will fall. All my life have seen this.
But Arenta could not be quiet. she
would SOW thorns, though she had TO
walk unshod; and her fathers advice
moved her no more than a breath
moves a mountain. In the same AFTER
noon she saw Madame Jacobus going
to Doctor Morans, and the hour she
remained there, was full of misery to
her impetuous self-adoring heart. She
was sure they were talking or KEN
and herself; and as she had all their
conversation to imagine, she came 10
conclusions in accord with her sus-
picions,
But she met her aunt at the door
and brought her eagerly into the par
lor. She had no visitors that day, and
was bored and restless and longing for
conversation. 81 saw you go to the
Doctors an hour ago, aunt" she SAID

enough to abuse poor Rem. And you
could listen to them! would not
have done so! No! not If listening had
meant salvation for the whole Moran

You are a remarkably foolish
young woman. They never named
Rem. People so happy do not remem-

never forgive him. He is a disgrace
to the family. And that Is why
came here to-day. wish you to make
Rem understand that he must not
come near his Uncle Jacobus. When
Jacobus is angry he will call heaven
and earth and hell to help him speak
his mind, and have nearly cured him
of a habit which is so distressing to
me, and such a great wrong to his
own soul. The very sight Of Rem
would break every barrier down, and
let food of words loose, that would
make him suffer afterward. l will not
have Jacobus led into such temptation.
I have not heard an oath from him in
six months"
81 suppose you would never forgive
Jacobus, if you did hear one?"
THAT is another matter. | hope

1T is then less wicked to blaspheme
Almighty God than to keep one OF Lord
Hyde's love letters. One fault may be
forgiven, the other is objectionable.
