BY MISS KUI.OOK.
CHAPTER \L
Lady, Bowerbank was, as sho said, dying;
that is, th?v seeds of death were tlrinlj
own in her constitution, bat they wore
reiy slow of developing themselves. Perhaps
the exceeding peace in which, externally,
her daily lifo was passed paitly
caused this; but chielly it was because, if
he had seen an end to happiness, so she
* had to all its bitterest elements, its turmoil,
trial, reRtlesBnessness, and pain.
Bhe was not strong enough to suffer, and
now she had ceased to suffer any more.
Bhe eTen Bee mod for a while to rally, and
to take an interest in things about her?th?
tender farewell interest of one soon de- ]
parting. She was especially sedulous in
all duties to her husband?at least those i
which she was able to perform. But she i
had loner ?nnt tntn ? ' 1

Bonal care, whtlo ho went htB own wayfl, I
and fell back gradually into much of hit
old "baobelor" life, as it had been spent in 1
the long interregnum between his lirst mar- 1
riago and his union with poor Emily 1
Kendal. 1
"Sir John is quito comfortable; he will i
not miss mo very much," Mrs. Knowle 1
onoe heard her Bay, more meditatively than i
oomplaiuingly. But that lad.v, who had so i
keen a sense of wifely duty, oven without
love, never took any notice of the remark. (
And when, according to promise, Bbe
had learnt all attainable facts about the
Btonhousos?how that they lived ia'Lon- <
don on Mr. Stenhouse's not too large sal- 1
ary in a merchant's office, and he was re- 1
ported to be a most kind husband to tbo <
widow, and a careful father to (ho throe t
fatherless ohildren?after this the prudent t
maiden Baid as little as possible to Lady ]
Bowerbank on the subject of her oldlovor.
Only onoe, when, after as long an in- i
kerv.il as it was possible for civility to ad- I i
the ooq- | ]
re?-?Tea ou urn u*a?r-,
rLo&e m ? lwtw to' Mrt. Knowlo, eontninIng
the brief message?1"hie own and hta
wire's compliments, huu tuwua* tc Sir Jobs
and Lady Boworbauk"?Emily's eyes filled
with tears.
"He might have been a liltle kinder,'
the said. "But ho doos not know, and he
cannot forgivo. He never will forgive me
?till I die."
And meantime th^i two, onee lovers, lived
on, and did their dtitv to the husband and
the wife onto whom Bate had nnited them.
Whether bitter thoughts ever oamo?
whether in the dead of night either woke
ap and romembered tho past, their young,
p. bright, innocent mutual love, and the
erne!ty that snatched it from thorn and
turned it into a ourse; whether their hearts
aver burned within them against man, or
alas! against Providence, because in.this
ihort, snort mortal life they were not made
happy?tbey whose happiness would have
Injured no one, aud who needed nothing
in the world to make them happy except a
little love?these wore mysteries which
mast remain forever undisclosed.
But month by month there was disclosed
tho plain sad fact that Sir John Bowerbauk's
second marriage was not likely to
be of much longer duration than his first
one, which most people had altogether
i forgotten; and much was tlio sympathy ex\
cited both for him and for tho aweet. ,
\ . fragile creature who was fading awnyj
y.- . i r *ud contentedly, it wau evident,
w but one Q"ito know liow or
why. All the Liv&*i>S?l-?Ioolor8, and moro ,
than one London physician, were brought
to bis wife by Sir John in undemonstrative
bat evident anxiety; but they could not
euro her?they could not even dud out what
was the matter with her. Hereditary weakness,
want of stamina, deficiency of vital
force?they called her disease, or no disease,
by all those fine names; but no human
being guessed the root of it except Mrs.
Knowle.
She, honest woman, as she Sat knitting
beside hor "Edward"?who was getting an
Id man now, stout, and a little infirm with
rheumatism, and sometimes a little cross
too with the woight of business, but still
it heart the same' hearty, kindly "good;
man" as ever?would often say with a
tigb, "Ah, poor Emily! if those two hod
only. been left to fight the battle out together
as we did, my dear, how muoh hotter
it would have been!"
At which Mr. Knowle, who never sentimentalized
in his life, just assented,
mil All at kin "old woman." anil nnrhnnu a
itttie wonry of the subject, generally, went
to Bleep.
How the Stonhousos struggled ou, for it
mast havo been a struggle at best, with
their small income and the three children,
^ Mrs. Knowle oould not easily loam; John
1 Btenhoaso seemed determined to drop enllrely
ont of the range of his old Liverpool
friends. To any letters?and Mrs. Knowle
wrote him several?ho always returned
V polite, bnt long delayed and unsatisfactory
\ answers, tolling her nothing that alio wishod
to know, and inquiring of nothing
wnirh, she hardly knew why, she would
have liked him to inquire about
"And there is that poor thing dying, and
he does not even know it!" lamented slio
lometimos. To which her husband only
answered with the common-sense question:
"And what wonld be the good of it if he
* did knew?"
Not on her side was Emily aware?and
Mi?. Knowle took oare to keep it from her,
ImI It mioht lilalnfh h?r nnAnAfnl <1?ina?
that his. Htmgglo was the equally hard
struggle of living, grinding poverty; a delicate,
nervous, broken-spirited wire; throe
hungry children to be fed, from duty,
without the natural fatherly love to sweeten
it; and above all, the daily blank in the life
of a strong, faithful, single-hearted man,
who, having Once taken it into his bead, or
heart, to love one woman, never onn learn
to unlove her to the end of his days. Such
men there are. but they are very, very
are, and John Stenhouso happened to bo
one of them.
So be looked his secret np in his breast,
and, whether or net his marriage was a
happy one, went on working steadily and
patiently for hie wife end for the children,
, uuu iuru. ivnowie
were halt inclined to do aa he apparently
wished, and let him go.
Bnc the one person who, with an almost
faithful pertinacity, bold to him, was Sir
John Uowerbank. Whether he, too, was
the sort of person who, onoe taking a liking,
great or'small, never relinquishes it,
or whether some other secret inner sympathy
attracted him to yonog Stenhonse. as
Doing nor unnao wont no uiuihou nita uoen
as a young man, certain it was that the head
of the firm never lost sight of his former
olerk; and when, on Mr. Knowle's suggesting
the advisability of a junior partner, the
question aroso who should bo adopted into
>ioh a valuable and reRnnnsiblo situation,
tbe first -person Sir John proposed to
whom tho offer should bo mado was Mr.
Stenhonse.
Edward Knowlo was greatly amazed?
nay, perplexed. He robbed up bis hair
with a troubled aspect.
"Stop a bit; I think?I think I should
like to speak to my wife about this."
Sir John looked in undisguised surprise.
"As vou pleam. But it nover would occur
to me to consult my wife on business matters."
"IndeedI" ??<<' ? -* * *
'Vri'" laicaing eagory
\ " ?? "I Wlaji jon would.
"Why?"
"You see," awkwardly explained Mr.
Knowle. "a oartner. which also imolios n
partner s wiro, is a serious thing to the
woman-kind, bringing about much intimacy,
and nil that. I fancy?of course it
is only a fancy of miue?that the ladies
would both iiko to be consulted about it
Shall my wife go and speak to Lady Bowerbank?"
"If she chooses; but it is really great
nonsense bringing domestic niTitirs into a
mere question of business. It will cause
delay, while every post is a matter of consequence.
I cannot soo tlio use of it nil.
In fact, with your consent"?and his manner
implied with or without it, for Sir John
Bowerbank was a very obstinato man iu
bis way, ns was well known to hiH paitnci
?"with your consent, I shall writo and
mako the offer to the young man tonight."
Ho did so, and it'was declined?declined
immediately and point-blank, without
any reason being assigned for the rorusal.
Sir John waR considerably annoyed. To
the answer, which had come, not b'y letter,
but by telegram, so eager, apparently, was
the young man to renounce the proffered
kindness, ho wrote Again, RtiggeRting easor
terms?terms so favorablo that no man
n his senses seemed likely to refuso them,
ind yet by return of post refused they
yere.
"The man must bo mad," sa'd Sir John
o his partner.
"Perhaps," was the brief reply.
"Why, he has tbroo children and a delisate
wife, and scarcoly enough salary to
cecp them in bread and cheese; for yon
tnow, at Lady Bowcrbank's desire, I found
>ut ail nbout them., bhe was interested in
he wife, and might write nnd adtiso lior
o persuado hej^nsbnnd out of his folly.
[ must 6peak toqpvly Bowerbank."
Meantime Lady Bowerbank had been
ipokcn to. In fear and trembling the
natter had been broken to Lor by good
Mrs. Knowle, bnt there was no need for
1
ilgn of agitation. She srttny nAU-wJi; j
iho thought such a partnership Would be
he iwat tbtna nossiblo. both lor the firm
ind for Mr. Stenliouse, and that she hoped
t wonid como about speedily. And then
iho lay looking into the sunset over the
ica, with a strange, soft expression in hot
"You are 6ure? quite sure, my dear Emly,
that you have no objection?"
"No; why should I? ' And sho added
igain, still rnoro earnestly, "Oh, no?not
low."
"And by that," commented Mrs. Knowle,
is she repeated the conversation to hei
insband, "I am certain Emily fools tlmt
ihe is dyine."
They talked the whole matter over for n
ahile, conjugally and confidentially, in
:heir own room, for they had been nskod
to dine and Bleep that night at Snmmoi
Lodge, as indeed they very of ton were
aow, and then wont back to tho drawingroom.
There, white indeed as a dying face, bnt
>ager with all the strength of life, lay poor
Emily, her husbund sitting beside her sofa
in his quiet, attentive, elderly way, and
trying, as well as he could, to mako little
bits of talk concerning the news of tho day
in Liverpool, to amuse her during the hour
and a half that he and bis guests dined,
and Hhe rested nlono, for she had now
o aeed entirely to join the cirole at meals.
"Come hero, Mrs. Knowle, and say if you
do not agree with mo?yon women understand
one another well. I have been telling
my wifo about that young man's exceeding
folly?your friend Stonhonse, I
menu?iu refusing to enter our lirin. It
must bo a more crotchet?some oil'onso
taken, or the like, for which wo oau't atrortl
to lose Rnch a useful partner, or to let a
line young follow cut his own throat in
that way. I want LiUly Bowerbank to
write to Lis wife, and reason with her. Sho
has a right; for Lady Bowerbank has done
all sorts of kind things to Mrs. Stenhouse."
"Kindness implies no right," said Emily
hastily and tremulously. "I don't know
her. I cannot write to her. What could
I say?"
"Just a little common senso?that sucli
a ohanoe as this does not happen to a man
twice in a lifetime, that Htenhouse should
take advantage of it. He is very poor. I
hear that he can but just put bread into
the mouths of those three children. If bo
were to join us he would make his fortune."
"Make his fortune," repeated Emily,
wistfully. "Ah! if that had beon?onco.
But it is too late now."
"Too lato, my dear! Nonsense! Tho
vonng man cannot be over thirty vet."
"Thirty-one and a half."
Sir John Bowerbank looked exceedingly
surprised for the moment. "I forgot?you
said you knew him."
"Yes, I did know him, as Mrs. Knowle
is aware. I met him at her house. I was
ones r/oincr to be married to him. He was
very fond of me."
Quito quietly, without the slightest sign
of emotion, Emily said theso words, as if
it had heeu a fact commuuicatod concerning
a third person; so utterly divided from
tho world and tho passions of it seemed
that frail creature, who already stood close
on the portals of the world to come.
"Khali I go away?" whispered Mrs.
Knowle, and yet she dreaded to do it, for
there was something so unearthly iu
Emily's expression just then.
"Oh, no, do not loavo me. Yon can tell
my husband anything he wisLos to know.
Dear husband! you sro not angry with me?
You know I was a poor weak thing always,
and now all will soon be over. It is fai
tho best?far the best."
"1 do not understand," said, with a disImcuit

No, be did not; if was not In him hi understand.

Tho old man suddenly sat down again,

And as ho sat besldo tho wifo of his

and was grateful to /him, perhaps the old 1

tender, and so truo. When he took his

"Well, my dear, wo need speak no more
on this matter. You oan see Mr. Stenhouse

the better. Impress upon him that capital
is of no moment; a young, uctivo, businesslike

And you will take good care of my \me

"I will, Sir John."
"tlood afternoon, then."
And he went away, leaving, the women

[TO BE CONTINUED. 1 _
How?
All true temperance workers are striving
for the final and complete overthrow of the
hosts of rum; but the question comes; "what
can we do in that direction now?" In our
worl: there are two things sotintiraately connected
that to accomplish the second we
must accomplish tho first, and by accomplishing
the first we work toward the accomplishment
of the second. The one ie the
enforcement of the present.liquor laws, and
the other of the trattlc. What we should do
now is to enforce t^ft existing laws, and hy
doing this we will work torwar I and up to
total prohibition. How strict the law in re?;ard
to Sundayfselling to minors and to habtual
drunkards! And yet here in our own
town how openly aro the lawn violated. Almost
under the shadow of our churches and
places where tlie work of God is proclaimed
do we find the damning stuff dealt out 8uudoy
after Sunday. True, there was an effort
made not long ago to enforce the Sunday
law, and with some success, but is the
matter to drop here? Shall the public officers
and others interested in the enforcement
of the Iaw put their hands to the plow and
then turn back? A good beginning was halt
the battle, but not all. If after a good beginning
the warfare is abandoned, theeuerny
are the victors. Let ns not. desist, but rather
Qght to the death and overcomo through the
Lord of Hosts, who is surelyon our slaa

1. "And when they came nigh to Jerusalem,

Mount of Olives." After healing the blind
men, as He passed through Jericho, He tarried

Him beforehand for His burial. (Luke xix.,

we see Him fulfilling the prophecy written
in Zecb. ix., 9, for He came to fulfill the law
and the prophets, to fulfill all righteousness.
(Matt v., 17; iii., 15.) He is now in the last

tho Scripturos we must not lose
light of this great fact that lie is Israel's
Messiah and as such is ever fulfilling before
.heir eyes the Scriptures of their prophets,
.hat they may be without excuse for rejecting
Him; and that since their rejection of

lark and Luke mention only the colt, Mat- f
hew mentions the two animals, "an ass and
colt with her." Just, as Samuel could, by t
he Spirit of God. tell 'Saul whom he would 3
leet that day, and what each one would t
ave, and say", and do (I Sam. x., 1-71, so
he same Spirit in Jesus Christ knew just
there these animals would be found tied; for I
he Spirit of God is perfect in knowledge
Job xxxvL, 4) and He is in every true bo- 1
iever to teach us all things (John xlv., 17, it"!).
8. "Say ye that the Lord hath need of

oeing that He givetli to all life, mid breath,
ind all things (Acts xvii., 25), but Ho is '
>leased to 113e weak and foolish things in
iccoihplishing His purposes if He tonly finds
jhgattAXyhng and ready to His baud. Does 1
lesus have the use of his boat and to wait
ipon Him (Luke v., 1-10) rather rebuke us
or our oft unwillingness to place ourselves
tnd all that we are and have at His disposal!
4. "They went their way, and found the

de says; and there is no way wo can honor
lim like believing and obeying His word
ithout questioning. "I believe (led, that it
ihall be even as it was told me" (Acts xxvii,

remembering also the blessings upon
hose who believe (Lukei, 46; John xx., '-?')
5,0. "They said unto them even as Jesus
lad commanded." Where tho word of a
King is there is power (Eccl. viii., 4), and
when we go in His name bearing llis message,
we nave only to speak His word faithfully,
and it will not return to Him void
(Gen. xxliL, 28; Isa. lv., 11.) Tho results
which He intends to accomplish are sure to
come; the responsibility of tne messenger is
to get the message correctly aud deliver it
plainly and faithfully iu His name. As
these two men sought something for Jesus
and for His use, so we are to seek souls and
results, not for ourselves,but for Him whom
we serve.
7. "They brought the colt to Jesus, and
thejr garments on him: and He satunon
Mini. mere were two animals and two
men; why did the mon not bring the asses
riding upon them? That would have l>een
appropriating to thoir own use that which
they had obtained for their I?rd. No, they
obtained them for Jesus, and they brought
them to Him. and, placing tbeir garmonts
on the colt, Ho sat thereon. This ass's colt
seems to me such a suggestivo type of a
sinner unsaved that 1 cannot refrain from
some allusion to it; and although not nattering
to the sinner, it is very scriptural; lot
those uso it who find prollt in it. In Job xi.,
VJ, man is said to bo born a wild ass's colt,
and in Exodus xiii., 18; xxxiv., *20, the first llng
of an ass and the first born of inan are
put on a level as regards relemptiou; this
colt is found where two ways meet, and may
not the'narrow way of life be satil to lead
off from the broad way of ruin, .just by
whore every sinner is found! As the colt
had to be loosed, so every sinner lias
to be loosed .from his bonas with which
Satan has bound him; as the untamed
colt Is meekly submissive to Jesus,
so Jesus can aubditu nnd make meek
and lowly the most haughty spirit; as Josm
is exalted and the colt biddon.so tbo business ,
of the sinner brought to Christ is to be a
Christ bearer,biding self and exalting Jesus;
and as Jesus had need of this colt, ro it may
be said that liod wants tlie sinner to become
His child, Jesus wants him to become His
joint heir, and the Spirit wants him to become
His temple.
8. "Garments?and branches?strewed in
the way." These tokens of submission and
adoration on the part of the peoplo, which
was so short lived, point us to the time when
all things shall be subdued unto Him (I Cor.
xv., 28), and-they also seem to ask us: What
does your submission and adoration amount
to? is it sincere, permanent and increasing?
9. "Hoeanna; Blessed is He that cometh in
the name of the Lord." These words aro
found in Pa. cxviii., 25. 20. the first word
being marie up of two Hebrew words, sigmfying:
"Save now I beseech thee."' In tho
same psalm we find is written: "The stone
wfticli tho builders refflsod is become the
headstone of the corner." and when the head
tone shall be brought forth with shoutings,
crying: Grace, grace unto it (Zach. iv., 7),
then shall this song of praise be sang, not as
it was that day, but jincerely. His own words
to them a little Inter in the-weelc were: "Behold,
your house w left unto you deeolate, foi
I say unto you. Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye say. Blessed irfte that cometb
in the name of the Lord" (Matt. xxt, W, 30)
10. '' Blessed be the kingdom of our father
David, that cometh in the name of the lx>rd

Drinking Capacity of Belgians. (
Statistics show that en the average every j
nan, woman and child in Belgium consumes t
early two hundred and forty uuarts of bcr |
>nd thirteen quarts of spirits. This consump- t
ion exceeds the average rate of any other j

Tho Young Corporal. |
A lad, a corporal in the French army, f
vhen drunk, struck his superior ofllcer. He (_
rns tried by a court-martial and sentenced
o be shot, and_cast into prison to await the
ffort made to secure his pardon, but without
uccess. The Colonel, however, wns much
ttached to him, and was unremitting in his 1
(forts to secure a pardon, which he at c
angth succeeded in doing, on condition that t
f ever known to bo drunk again he should bo v
hot dead. The Colonel went to the prison i,
o inform the young corporal of his pardon. s
"Ah, Colonel." said tho unhappy young n
nan as the ollicer entered, "seo what my (
oily has brought me to." I
"SuDnose." said the Colonel, that I should
ell you that on condition that you never in | f
rour life drink again a pardon is extended
o you." A gleam of hope brightened the .
roung man's face. "Your life to ho the for- !eitif
you ever taste liquor again," added the 1
Colonel.
"Impossible!" eaid the poor lad. "I can- '
tot livo and not drink. Must I never drink! !
"Never."
The poor young fellow relapsed into hope- ]
lessness.
"Nothing could keep ino from it. It would 1
be impossible to keep the condition." '
"I want your word and pledge of honor as 1
a soldier," said the Colonel, appealing to the
military spirit and high sense of honor he so .
well knew the youth m- ino
"See, Colonel," cried the young soldier.
"See hero and now," and he lifted his arm
toward heaven, "that never with the help of
God, will I put liquor to my lips again."
That lad became commander of the Imperial
Guaril whose very name became such
a power, ana uu Kepi, ine uieuge in cue same
spirit that characterized nis memorable utterance:
"The Uld Guard dies, but never
surrenders."
Now you see how much that sting of the
liquor serpent costs. It came very near costing
that brave young corporal his life. It is i
a very costly thing to the country in dollars
and cents. It costs us three hundred and sixty
times as much as it does to pay the salaries
of all the ministers of tho gospel. The salaries
of our ministers amount to sixty millions
of dollars. And it costs twenty-two
hundred millions of dollars to keep the liquor
traffic, and keep the sting of the liquor sorpc-nt
doing its work.
damages for a Drunkard's DeatI:.
When William McCarthy went home at
the end of his day's work ho was sober.
After supper ho went to Wells's saloon, drank
"a glass full* of whisky," stayed thero half
an hour and left partly intoxicated.
He drank at several other places during
the evening, and by ten o'clock was so intoxicated
that "he appeared unable to walk
and was in charge of two men who had hold
of him, one 011 each side, and were encouraging
him to try to walk." Ho was not
seen aliva after that. His body was found
in a mill-race, where he had lieen drowned
in about three feet of water.
This was in Oneida County, N. Y.
His widow sued Wells under the Civil
Damage act of 1873, which provides that?
Every husband, wife, child, parent,
guardian, employer or other person who
shall bo injured in person, property or
moans of support by an intoxicated person,
or in consequence of the intoxication,
habitual or otherwise, of any person, shall
have a right of action against any person 01
persons who shall, by selling or giving away
intoxicating liquor, have caused tho intoxication
in whole or in part.
Mrs.. McCarthy won her case on trial and
got a verdict for damages from the jury.
Wells insisted that he was not liable for
McCarthy s death and Appealed to the
General Term of the Supreme Count* That
tribunal has decided against him. "We are
of opinion,*' says Justice Martin, "that the
evidence was sufTlcient to warrant the jury
in finding that the death of the plaintiff's
husband was caused by his intoxication, and
that his intoxication was caused in wholo or
in part by liquor furnished him by the defendant."?

Family Religion.
Ten years ago, says a student, when an unconverted
man, I boarded in tho family of a
pious woman whose husband was not a Christian.
Thero was a daughter <>f nineteen,
another of fourteen, and a soil of ten. Every
morning, atter breakfast, 1 heard that humble
woman gather her family in the kitchen,
and read with them a chapter, "verse
about." in the Bible. Then, as I could not
help listening, there was a peculiarity of ser
vice which quite mystified me. At last I
asked one day if I might remain. Hlio hesi
tated, her daughter blushed, but sail
1 cou'd do so if I really desired
So 1 sat down with tho rest. Thej
gave me a Testament, and wo each rend i
verso in turn. Then, kneeling on the floor
that mother bog an her prayer audibly foi
her dear ones there, her husband, and her
self; and then pausing n moment as if t(
gather her energies or wing her faith, ut
tered a tender, affectionate supplication foi
nio. Sho closed, and her daughter begun t<
pray. Poor girl, she was afraid of mo;
was from college; 1 was lior teacher; but sh
