Soraerville and Son \Going to that dreadful factory again!\ said Mrs. Somerville , looking up as her daug hter entered the sitting room , dressed for walking. \I decl a re , Nell i e , y ou mi g ht as well he a boy as girl for any pleasure I have in your society. Every day you are at the factory, leaving me alone. \ \I -will come back soon if you -want me , mother ; but I promised father to come down and g ive him my op inion of some 7^at- terns for mouldings that are to be sent in to-day, \ \As ii the op inion of a girl of your age •was of any value. You need not hurry back on m y account. I do not want to force you to remain at home. I can bear the sorrow of having a masculine tom-boy of a g irl , in- stead of a gentle , refined companion. Go. \ Nellie Soraervillfe v>*esaed a kiss upon the fretful face pettishl y turned away to evade the caress , and then wen t out very gravel y. Her step, strong and elastic , was unusually slow , as she walked toward the factory where her father waited for her , and for the hundredth time her face was clouded as she debated , w U e * own min d the vexed ques- tion ot her duty. ]Nbt her inclination—that pointed steadily one way—but her duty. From the time when grasp ing her father ' s strong finger , the little girl toddled by his side Nellie Somerville had been that father ' s pride anil the eyoss of L&y mother. Chil d after child had been taken from the home of John Somerville to fill a little grave in the church yard—the victims of an over anxiety to guard them from every breath of air ; to fortif y their constitutions- b y inces- sant dosing ; to for ce health by combating imaginary weakness. . < When Nellie was born , the father assert- ed his authority, and the babe- was broayg ht up almost in the open air , and found perfect health and strength in constant exercise , good food ,, ssxi. a tat-a . 1 deprivation of all cordials and nareoties. 5$ she oried sbo was not dosed on the supposition of pain , but comforted by a ride on papa ' s shoulder , or a race in the garden. When childhood was passed , and school day over , the g irl came home from the seminary in a distant city, and shocked her 33Qiher anew. A good scholar , fine p ianist ancl promising linguist , she was averse to embroidery or worsted work , fond of riding and walking, anil whil& essentially refined: in thoug ht and Action , had no affectations ox fine ladyisms , such as Mrs. Somerville considered the crowning charms of woman- hood. She entered into the details of housekeep ing with a h eart y zest , though her moth. er declared she bei\t eggs like a y jong kboy, and stirred cafce 3di& a rnilk- maiil. \Yon see , papa/ 1 \ iSfcilre said , confi- dentially to her syrapifcaazing^ parent , \I otyft ' t Vi &M <\° . ^cythang, and mamma thinks I a» awf UsJry asifeminiue.

John had inherited; thp business from his father and grandfather ^ V«t h& own sons , three dark-eywl boy^ liiy'iui tlie. cuxirchyar d , and Nellie alone rers«e«<S oS six cHiildfen. More than once the thoughi hu% crossed his mind , 'if she were oniy a boy. *' as Nellie followni him over the great b:iili *?tig with the keenest interest in every department there. The business was the manufacture of frames of every descri ption , and Nellie be- came familiar with every detail , from the purchase of the lumber to the criticism of tha finished work. She had a nicety of touch that detected the slig htest inequali- ties of surface even in polished wood , and her. eye was \ at once quick and correct. Little b y little almost unconsciousl y, John Som erville trusted Nellie with much of the decision in purchases , and the book-keep ing was often in her \ care for weeks together , w hen there was pressure of work. Mrs. Somerville whined and fretted over the strangel y masculine tastes of her child , but her father became more and more averse ' to parting with her in business hours. Two years after Nellie returned from school , and just after her twenty-first birth- day, she started one morning, as seen in the opening of my story, to look at some patterns to be sent for decision. Such mat- ters were often entrusted entirel y to her jud gment , so she was not surprised to find her father had gone out , leaving the fieci- sion to her. But after she had g iven the order , and answered a lot of letters l y ing upon his dtsk , had wandered all over the building and returned again to the office , she was surprised at her father ' s long absence. One of the foremen in the finishing de- partment , coming to the office for some last orders about the shipment of some goods , said Mr. Somerville had appointed to meet him t h e r e at noon , an d t h e pr o p rietor of Somerville & Son ' s frame factory was a man of ri g id punctualit y. Ten , f i f teen , twent y minutes , Ste p hen Holton waited in the office , watching Nel- lie ' s busy hand as she folded , sealed and directed a lot of circulars , and thinking that never had he seen a face so fair , or heard a T oice s o clear and musical as Nellie Soiner- ville ' s. But as the clock struck the half hour , .Nellie looked tip with a startled face. \Something has happened , Step hen , \ she said ; \ my father is never half an hour late. Send some one out to look for him. \ \The men are all at dinner , Miss. Nellie , I will go myself. \ But even as he spoke , a messenger hur- riedly entered the office , saying j \Mr. Somerville was thro wn from his horse while on his way here from the vil- lage , and is badl y inj ured. \ \Where?\ broke from Nellie ' s whiteli ps. \We took him home , and he asked me to come here for you. \ Even in her sorrow and grief , Nellie re- tained some presence of mind. Looking into Stephen Holfcon ' s grave , sympathizing face , she said: \You will take charge- here- * until you hear from my father. I will be responsi- ble. \Thank you , \ he said , deep l y moved by her confidence in him at such a time. \I will try to do * my duty. \ \I am sure of that , \ she answered , and extended her hand. Two minutes later she was hurrying home- ward. None too soon w:ts her clear head and quiet resolution brou g ht to bear upon the excited household. Her mother was in hysterics , the servants bustlin g here and there purposeless and terrified , and her father l y ing upon the bed iu the hands of a surgeon and two gentlemen who had assist- ed iu bring ing him home. Thf-re was p lenty to do. In less time than would have seemed possible , the ser- vants were in thei r proper p laces . Mrs. Somerville quieted , an. cS Nellie , white as a sheet, but perfectl y tranquil , activel y en- gaged in wai ting upon the surgeon. The weary hours that followed taxed every nerve of ihe g irl' s frame , but she bore the strain bravel y; and when the doctor led her to the drawing-room , he fel t a deep re- spect for the g irl who so nobl y crushed back all selfish sorrow to aid her father in his agony. Giving her a g lass of water , and making her rest quietl y for a few minutes , he watcaed iysr face 4- 31 the drawn, ri g idity of every feature relaxed , and the strained eyes looked p iteousl y into his own . \That is better , \ he . said , kindl y, \ you mny ory now. \ Nellie ' s li p ^uive^eci. . \Yon have something ta. teH ide!\\ \Tos . \ Are yon strong enough, ta iusftr it ?\ • • 'That ho will <2a«?-!- Oh , say h* will not di e !\ • •Th' . » injuries sa a-not fatal.

For mamjt days the two women, wko loved him had uo-thougii for aj sything but the strong man stricken down in the prime of his life, needing care like a little child. Under thn influence of a seal sorrow , the crust of selfishness melted fro m the wife ' s heart , and she beont'ie a . demoted, rmrse. Forgetting the fancied ailments she had nursed for years in ministering to her hus- band as he lay hel pless and sufferring. But there came a day when John Somer- ville was told , kindl y and cautiousl y; of the doom-before him. It took all the Christian strength of the man ' s nature to endure the shock. Better death , he thoug ht , th an live at such a price. The first agony over , he thought of the factory, the bread-winner for wife and child—the business of hia life. Must the old firm die at last, and the flour- ishing business be sold for want of a mas- ter ' s care ? Involuntaril y he turned to Nel- lie , and talked lon g and earnestly. Ifc was a surprise to him , in sp ite of what he had seen , -when she rep lied: \I know the factory woul d be your first anxiety, father , and Stephen has been hero every evening to rep ort to me , bring ing me all . the mail matter. To-day I went down myself. Everything is going on well. The orders for this month are all filled , and the new ones under way. I have put in some new material. Do you feel able to go over what 1 have done ?\ Clearly she explained every detail of the business in the four weeks that had passed since the accident , and modestly showed him the memoranda she had kept of every business transaction. • \Nellie , \ , said he , wlien she finished , \if heaven denied me a son , it has given me a good daug hter. With you to assist me , I can still carry on my factory, though I lie cripp led here. \ There was a buzz of comment in the vil- la g e when Bliss Ellen Somerville assume d the charge of the fram e factory her father had owned so long. ' Some of the workmen refused to be \ or d ere d a b o u t\ b y a g irl , and were promp tl y discharged ; but the majority worked better under the stimulus of Nellie ' s judicious praise. Peop le who sneered at \ masculine women \ were forced to confess that Nellie was womanl y, if not as helpless , as the finest lady of them all. Patrons of the factory who prop hesied its utter rum , were forced to confess that their orders were filled as promp tl y and as well as ever before , And yet in the counting house , only , a woman controlled the entire business^ fcep i . the books , answered the let- ters , and guided every detail of the vast es- tablishment. Three years had passed since Nellie be- cam e the head of the business , when Ste- phen Holton wooed her for his wife. He had saved from his salary sufficient to make a p leasant home , and Nellie knew he lo . ved her faithfull y, as she had long loved him. So with her happy consent , he sought her father to ask for hSs. child. \Eroni all the world , \ John SomervJlle said , \I could not have chosen a man to w .hom , J wc,tt . ld . ao gladl y g ive my Nellie. It will comfort me in the years that may be left of my life to know my brave girl has a proptector when I am gone. But , Stephen there is one wish very near my heart that you can gratify. \ \N ame it 1 ; sir , \ \I shall ,, en yonr i»»3si' & g 6' Hay,. iJeetl to you the faclGSf and business , subject only to a moderate life income for- myself and wife.

Graduall y she found her duties in he* so * home drawing her little b y little from an active p lace in the factory, and , proud of her husband , she- gradually resi gned her authority to him , finding scop e for her energ ies in the duties around her , t i ll , one sunny morning, walki n g o v er to her fath er ' s , she pub into.his arms , a tiny, crowing babe , and said , with g ladtsaa-s t; \M y business cares a.ie over , papa.

Se.lf-made , not a scholar in the ordi- nary acceptation of the term , a graduate of no university, educated for an engineer , his earl y studies were not classical but in the sciences. Mr. Spencer is a bachelor living in one of those rural quarters of . London which afford such a grateful relief to the monotonous bustle of a l arge city. Like most Eng lish literary men he is a frequent- er of his club and at certain hours of the day may usually be seen at the halls of the Athenaeum , which is honored b y his mem- bership. His manners are courteous and refined , observant of the little graces of society, and with more of the man of the world than would be naturally expected from a person occupied in such retired and austere studie3. The rudd y bloom of his countenance and the vi gor of his step g ives no impression of physical languor , and he appears as one who mi g ht enjoy a long term of intellectual efficiency. The love of truth which permeates s\l\d inspires h\s writing? is prominent in his words and actions. Without any formal precision he wei g hs his expressions as one who wishes to make his language the exact representative of his ideas. He speaks fluentl y mid with a cer- tai n grave earnestness that is most impres- sive. He is fond of discussing the various aspects of literature , polities , and social affairs , which are the prevailing top ic among cultivated peop le but his health requires hiHi rath er to shun the excitement of argu- ment and controversy. In private however he is communicative and willing to eluci- date any obscure point in his writings. His mind is singularl y candid and eager to do justice to every p hase of men ' s thou g hts , and make allowance for idiosyncrueies of taste and character. He expresses a deep interest in American affairs , and his hi g h and earnest nature is wholly on the side of popular freedom as well as intellectual ad- vancement. The name of Herbert Spencer has been long associated in the public mind with the p hilosop hy of Evolution^ The ap- p lication of this doctrine to the mind , may be said to date from the y ear 1855 , when the first e di t i on o f t h e Pr i nc i ples of Psycho- logy was published. He had traced the op- eration of the law of evolution in mind , p laced that , study on an entirely new basis , and given the greatest contribution to thought since the Priuoi pja of Newton. The change th at has taken p lace in the world of thought since this event is something quite unprecedented. No belief has exercised such tremendous influence- on human desti- ny as the apparently harmless doctrine of the dualism of mind and body. It intro- duces a deadly feud into the liviag- temple. The spirit is a prisoner confined in a living dungeon. Pure , h oly, divine , it is chained to that which is inherentl y debased , deprav- ed and evil. Men believing this revolted with all the energy of their natures , and trampled the flesh beneath the feet of the sp irit. Every natural isssfci-riot aa<l desire was. of the flesh . Hunger , th irs t the pas- sions were unhol y. They, with proud dis- dain, fos the appetites , starved themselves to. s&eki»ii!& , sfcsi woman £i' oi& them as a vi per, scourge*? , hnanasA suacl lacerated them- selves in the mos t cru el i»»»He-:r ; and sought by fasting, prayer , and contemp la- tion to rise above the earth. This doctrine is proved to be erroneous. The works of Spencer , Bain , Maudsley and others hove settled the relations of mind to the body b eyond a shadow of doubt , and rendered obscXa-te all that had been previousl y writ- ten, ©a the subject. A sound and healthy body is the first requisite- to- insure a sound mind , and the practices of the ascetics tended to a contrary result. The doctrine of Evolution at first scouted as an absurd and groundless speculation is now admit- ted as an estafetisked princi p le ;, aa&l is be- g inning to Cxert an influence in the mode of considering, many, sub jects . > That this doctrine- &ho »la' meefc wfbfa sftaoag o§>$>osi- tion was i Efliuitable as it disturbs cherished and inherited beliefs at many points. Nor is this to be- regretted , as it is b y conflict that truth :<s;?liei&eGk Sown to the earl y part of tha-present c enfcuir y .i& ..w.3fl general- ly believed thai this world ancfc all ii, a«n- taina was buoughi into existence but >u few thousand yeais- agso iOiiiuuch. the twaus aon cation that we-now see-iSs. ibaJb tha -anivterse was made m a week aucr set muM:«ig; ins its present perfeatdbn. But it was impossible to inquire into the existing order of things without tracing it baclc , and it was discov- ed that the prevailifig: no tion was not true , but that.the present was the result o£ a. vast scries of changes , and the pouit 06 view from which natural things- aae to.be regard- ed was altered. To the moss- oL haoianit y this, was a matter of 110 grn-yfl aonceDii ,. but the theolog ians maintained thai it involved the vesy existence of God , the most familiar conception of the Deit y being that of the creator , and creation was held to-mean, the six day drama described in GeueaiaJ Al- though the old error is comp letel y exploded the clergy still cling to it and try to pneseavs* this belief among the i gnorant multitude. It is in regard to this great question that. Herbert Spencer is to be regarded. He claimed that life , mind , man , government , are things that have undergone a gradual development. Taking a view of nature generally discredited , he has done more than any other man to make it the starting point of a now era of knowledge. The evolution of man from the ape pre- pares us for his evolution into an angel ; all t h e a nal o gi es g o to p ro v e that the next ste p will be hi gher than this , and it is better to be a perfectionated ape than a degenerate Adam. The contest between materialism and sp iritism is growivK *»or© intense every- day, and while the churches are contending: about the proper shape and color of the leaves at the top of the tree , and wondering why they fal l so f ast , the root is p aral y zi ng under a p hilosop hy of death. A pure and p ious mind cannot in our time put forth ita proper efficacy excep t under conditions of proper sympath y with the modes and images which distinguish the present from the past. What we call the laws of nature are simpl y the methods of the divine pro- ceedure , in other words the expression of the thoughts of God. The material world is the medium b y which God communieate ' a to men , and Rationalism is the fire of his jud gment burning up the hay and btubble and dead wood of old superstitions. Dar- winism and Spencerism will not close iu Atheism or in any merely negative scheme of op inion , but there will be evolved from the principles of organic unity a new revela- tion of God , of man ' s freedom , and of love as the law of life for all things. The wise- est and the tenderest reli g ion is that which teaches us to obey nature ' s law s rath er than seek exemption from their sw ay. Chris- tia n ty encourages fl atterin g but false hopes of this exemp tion and is thus most terribly cruel in the end. Reason teaches us how to avoid most human woes and how to bear nobly the rest. The great masses of men in every communi t y are glad to listen to a gospel of common sense and weary of the twaddle which decries \ carnal reason , \ speaks of \little systems \ \ shallow assump- tions of science falsel y so called , \ and which while throwing filth at the noblest galaxy of philosop hers the world has ever produced , mumbles \The church has no quarrel with science , far from it , she even welcomes science as her all y and friend. \ As Himalaya , k i n g amon g mou n ta i ns , crowned with snow-flakes , towers aloft to Heaven , so in moral grandeur does Herbert S pencer tower above 'his detractors , while in the cold li g ht of a new dawn of science ^ a reconstructed universe arises .
