I do not' think it quite fair that big men with broad Shoulders and mus eres ot iron fchonkl always be* the he roes of stories; Men of email or - medium statue, ?nd without any mn.seres?to speak of, constitute the great majority of mankind ; a?d as tue world does go on, and the popu lation steadily increases, it is tobe .supposed that a large number of y oung ladies aj-e fouud who are willing to be .wives tojmen who are not Admira ble (Jriuhtons. At any rat?r the present story re lates to a niau whom any of these 'athletic giants would have contempt uously spoken of as a muff. I am son -? that it should be so, for I feel that this frank confession will destroy all int rest* in the story to a large proportion of lady-readers ; but it ? cannot be helped, because I must keep to facts. The Reverend Richard Hallowes nn^cr the sied inns ' O 4 ? > . date, the cure of Karslake was con tempjuously refused by all the seni or-fellows, but readily accepted by Richard Hallowes. A-s it was worth about three hundred a-year-, with a house and very small glebe, Hallowes thought it better to take it than to wait for years until his turn came for^ a richer gift. . . . Karslake was a ? setoi-rurft? parish. It stood upon the confines of the great coal-district of- SHaftbrdshrre ; but, although there were two or three col liery-chimneys in the valley, these did not affect the general rural aspect of the country. ; and it was only by ascending^-fo- %he>brew'-?:d? the hill that the dull smoke-cloud which ev? hangs over the' mining districts was visible. The*miners inhabited little" villages of their own, bnilt for them close to the shafts, and were princi pally strangers, having little in com mon with the rustic population around them. Karslake il self was a quiet little town, standing upon ribing, but not high, . ground, its population was un der a thousand, but it wis scatter ed over a largo surface ; for, with the -exception of the main street,.k was a careless, straggling place, most of the houses having small gttaden-plots attached. It was, in fact, a village rather than a town. The Reverend Richard Hallowes had not bee:: settled three mouths ia the parsonage-house at Karslake be fore he came very seriously to the co. elusion that it was his duty to marry. He had always been of opin ion, very rightly, that a clergyman in charg?" of a "parish, to be of arny real utility, should be married; and he had also a very strong theory of the kind o? woman who ought to be a rector s wife-a kind-hearted, moth erly ?ort of woman, earnest iu as sisting her husband, indefatigable among the poor, and a peacemaker to thc whole parish. . Now, but of tlie teiiort-welve'young lad.ies of Karslake, there were t}n?% or four-wita came very fairly up to Mr. Ilftllowe.V ideal : either of the Miss Stuni Ls, the doctor's daughters, or Miss Herslet, or Miss Penrose, would do. They were all quiet, sen siblciifchi ?anyjpne -oj: tberni wonjd, the Reverend Richard acknowledged to him-seh, nuke him A very excel lent wife ; but he kail at present made no step whatever ? towards gaining the affections of either of these . la dies. Not even the gossij* of the place could find the smallest preteuice ? for coupling Lis name with either of them. .The-Reverend Richard allowe?Van other three months- to elapse, and was still, to his own .self-reproach, as^ far oft'a? ev$r from making.nis choice ?? and yet he o^u'te flowed to himself that these were tkconiy four young women ol' the neighborhood who would be at all - likely to turn out good wives, abcardina tc his theory of a good wife ; anti thatnotic of the, others, least of all Laura Herushawe? would suit hiui. Now, Laura Herfisbawe wai un questionably the belle of Karslake., Her father was the proprietor of one of the collieries, and she ha'd been sent to a fashionable school ,by the K*a&"ta**to b? e-dutfot?tfc "aWnnd come back, about a fe?r before thp ud vent.ofjjie J&Y'efefcd RichardJ?a.1 ?owes, a hWshe? youug lad/.",, ,*y. Laura Her nshawe was Undoubted ly very pretty, and aa .undoubtedly she was rather fast-the ladies of Karslake said dreadftrlly fast j not that they used tba-word fast, but what they did say meant Pretty well *the same thing. Laura Hernshawe was fond pf riding, she was fond of danc ing ; she could pull an oar in their pleasure-boat on the canal almost as well as her brother ; she could swim, it was said, like a tish; and she was certainly a flirt,-altogether' ayptmg lady as far removed from the ideal of the Reverend Richard Hallowes aa it waa possible to be ; and yet alas for the weakness of human*re solves !-he confessed even to himself that this girl, with her bright eyes and her saucy laugh, &ml a strange thrill through him, which', ie never felt when engaged in the most serious conversation upon parish-matters with the Miss Stuarts, or Miss Penrose, or MissHerslet: not'that he'fer amo: ment allowed that he had any inten tion of deviating from his original resolve. He only admitted that, had he been differently placed, he should certainly have admired the girl very much. As it was, the tees he saw of her the better-an excellent r?solu' tion; only somehow ?r other he lijtd" a great deal to say to Mr. Hernshawe upon the subj .'et of schools for the children.of the col Hers, and aa to the wants and necessities of the. mon themselves, or their wives, in sick ness. After these interviews,' what so natural as that Mr. Hernshawe should ask his rector to walk into the drawing-room, ano) that he-should then sit and chat with Mrs. Hern shawe and her daughter, or sometimes with the latter alone, when her mam ma was abroad or engaged ? With July caine Reginald Hern shawe, Laura's only brother, a year older thanJierself, who waa being ed ucated at Gambridge; and the fol lowing conversation, which occurred after one of the rector's visits, shows that Mis? ?ernshawe bad no more idea of marrying the Reverend Rich aid Hallowes than he had of marrying her.. ' It is too bad, Laury, your going on so with onr little parson.' ' Poor-little man !' Laura laughed ; ' he is very harmless, Regy.' ' That is all very well, missy. He may be harmless, but I don't think, you are ; and I am quite sure he doesn't think SQ either.' 'My dear Reginald, how am I to help it? I don't win after him:; and if he chooses to come here, I must be civil to _ our rector, you kqow.! .Ton areiio ar? . ' ifr ". :r- . country clergyman's wiie ~;.u I can assure you there was not one single point.ot resemblance to your self. 1 expect that one of the Stuart girls will be the happy woman.' Miss Hernshawe tossed fcer head a little contemptuously. ' I daresay either of them would suit him very well. I am sure I don't care whom he marries; all I do know i??, it won't be me. !No, thank you. When I do marry, it will be some one I car? look up to.' 'I understand," her brother feaid ; 'a quiet Hercules, who c?n ride ?nd 6hoot,.and do everything* Better than anyone else ; if with a mystery about him, so much the better-eh, Laura ?' Laura tossed her head again, and said, 'Nonsense?' But her brother had pretty accurately sketched her ideal, for all that. The brother and sister were very', foud of getling into a small boat, pulling some miles up the canal to where it ran through a thick wood, and then they wortld get ont and eat the lunch they carried with them. Sometimes they took a friend, or two-with them ; moreoften they werft alone. Upon one occasion, as they had just'started, they saw Mr. Hallowes, who .va* coming along the towing-' path. After the first greetings, Regi nald Hernshawe asked 1 Where are you going, Mr. Hal lowes ?' . JI was going back to Karslake. I have just been down to. read to an old woman in one of your cot tages.' . 1 Then you have nothing particular to do T 'No; nothing whatever.' ' 1 Will yon get in, then, and go With us? We have got lunch with tv?, and are going to the Hanger.' Mr. Hallowes assented, although' an inward monitor whispered Co mm that he had better not. As the boat drew near to the shore, Mira Hernshawe said Will Vern take my oar, Mr. Hal-' lowes ?' ' I should be very happy,' Mite Hernshawe,* but I really know noth ing of rowifig ; I never had an oar in my hand in my fife." Laura Hernshawe's face certainly expressed a rather contemptuous pity ; however, she only said . 'Very well, Mr? Hallowes; yoe take tue rudderrstri?gs; Raginald and I will pull : I like it above all things.' Mr. Hallowes' steering was little, if at.all,, above his rowing, and the boat under his jjuiyVuce made such sudden and abrupt raslie*, first>to. one bank and then .to the other, that Reginald Hernshawe was obliged to request the rector to 'leave tlie rod? der-atrings alone, and only to pull them when told to do eoy-end- te ?e>" them know if.'anything . was in. their course. Under, tins, arrangameut.tke boat again glided.. quietly, upou ker^. way,, and the Reverend Richard Hal lowes gave himself up to the pleasure of. the moment, and, chatting gaily, with the brother and sister, totally forgot the injunction to look ahead. Frpm this pleasant forgetfulness he was rudely roused by. tue. tramp, of horses' feet upon- lh*. towing-path be side bim, by a stroufr'rrdrp tire driver ot 'Mind flie rope V and'by a ?rr?ul Ut*o*tr1it^7?oc??

' The best thing ? do,' Reginald said, ' will be for me-fto put Mr. Hal lowes across to the "oilier side. It isk three miles from here to-Karslake : the path heads th$>ugh the fields, and tte will be pretty dry by the time he gets there-at any rate, dry enough not to be Noticed if he is lucky.

Reginald was angry at what he con sidered the gross stupidity of the?, clereyraan in upsetting the boat and getting Laura wet; 'while Laura was only thinking how intensely disagree able-, it would be if it got-tn be known and talked about in Karslake that she had swum Back and- 8..ved the rector's life. At last she burst ..ito a flt of laughter. ' What are you laughing at, Lau ra ?' her brother asked in astonish ment. ' I can't help it,' Laura said at last ; : I never shall forget it-the little man's face when he came up, like a half-drowned terrier, glaring through his spectacles ; it was the funniest thing I aver saw;' and she laughed .again till the tears came into her eyes. The brother could not help laugh ing too, and by the time tK?ir clothes were dried they had quite recovered their good temper. Then asking the farmers wife, who of course knew thom, to say nothing about their hav ing had a ducking, ae it might make Mr*. Hernshawe uncomfortable if it came to her ears, they went down again to their boat, and pulled home. Laura gained her room without be ing noticed ; and so no one knew what had taken place, except, that Laura's niaid^ on observing the per fectly unstarched appearance of her dress, cime to her- own conclusion that her young mistress muat have somehow slipped into the water. As the rector had also gained the parsonage unobsetved,' ri a rumour of the occurrence reached Karslake, greatly to Laura Hernshawe's com fort. The relations between tho Rever end Richard and the young lady were not improved by the accident. At the fi is t subsequent interview he made si'tuc attempt to express bis gratitude, but was completely pooh poohed by the young lady, whose quietly-amused look showed unmis takably, that J=he regarded the affair in the light pf. a comic ineideui. Thin reoeption, added to an wir-asy feeling in lus own mind that thej Jutd-rti versed their proper positions, ami that it was H degrading thirrg for a man to be indebted to a woman -lor hie life, CHUHcd the clergyman to drop the ^abject ln.etilr, but left a veiw sore feeling ivpon his mind.- Certain ly, he thought io himself, Laura Hera shawe was not at all the- woman tc make a good clergyman's wife. It wa.-, .ated, however, that he ?he?id be able to cancel the sense of obliga tion. He was one day walking hr ? lane not far from the Hernshawe's' and seriously revolving in his owt mind the org?nt necessity of his set tiing whick "of the tew suitable yoting la?ies of tiui pince" ?fionfd b? the th ture mit-tre?* of the parsonage, Wher ke heard a loud 'sharp scream frort the field close by. Ho ran to fin next gate, and, looking over, saw ? sight which caused him to climb-ht was not good at vaulting-oyar UH gate. , Laura Hei nshawe was stand' lng in the-middle ol' the held, hei back .-towards him, and her whoh attitude expressing .helpless terre* At ?.short distance beyond her, i bull was stan din g with, his head: down evidently meditating, a .ruah. Lauri waa in almost avery.reap oct a remark ably fearless girl, but she had a bor j ror of buIK As a little girl she-had oneeAeen frightened by one, and.had , never recovered hom the impression. ?

Hovtever, ! ?.st as she wa*in -the middle of the ! Iidrd hel3 from ?be main-road^ sjie startled by a*smlden roar, anc?, ? ' .oking i^trund.^was stupef^? with terror by ob?ir vi ug the bull 'a.dvane j lng fror? the corner of the field where he had beeu grabing. She tried in vain to turn, and.Jly. ; she gave one screajal, and then stood iu helpless terror, gazing at her enemy, who was rapidly approaching her.' She felt her limbs giving way beneath her, and would iu anoih? momeiit have .fallen, when a man ransuddenly past her towards the bull, shouting aa he did so, ' finn, Miss Hernshawe run for your life J' The spell.which had oppressed her seemed broken, and without a moment's thought, without even knowing who the man was, she turned and ran to the gate, not once looking round till she had gained the other side, and then'the scream whvcii rose to her Hps was sti-fied by her horror. The bull had-for a'Wbmenfc recoiled a step upon seeing his *ncw opponent-, abd the clergyman, reinem* bering he had heard that animals were sometimes frightened in rhat way, took off his hat and'waveoV it at .the animal. The bull, however, evi dently took it as a challenge, fbr be lowered his bead, stamp?d fiercely upon the ground, and'in another in stant rusne'd up?n the 'clergyman. .An athletic man, or one accustomed ?0 active sports, might no doubt have eluded the charge. The clergyman was neither, and he stood* perfectly will awaiting the rush. In an in stant Miss Hernshawe saw him thrown joaany feet in the air, and fall heavily upon the ground. Then her screams broke out loud and piercing, and the bull, startled by their sound, apd xfi .rnembering his first foe, left .the pros trate body, to which he "ias about returning, and galloped furiously round the field. Miss Hernshawe's screams soon brought assistance; live or six labouring-men ran up, and. trw '1 with forks,and spades with whicH th?y weiv working, wi ii '.???: .

Mr. and Mrs. He' nshawe had done everything in their power for him, and after he had breakfasted, "Mrs. Hernshawe said, ' Laura wants to know if you can see her, Mr. Ha.l-.| lowes ? she wants to thank you in person.' Not waiting for an answer, she vent out of the room, aird Laura a minute or two after came in. She had evidently b -en crying, and her face was pale and isad. ' 0 lit.
