Continued. \My dear Sophy,\ he went on. \I am not the Queen, nor yet the Pope. B u t if you do really attribute to me any superiority or authority I en trea t of you to rise and— d e a r me, I am not used to having ladies kneel ing to me, b u t\— this w ith a spas modic attem p t at his old smile — \quite the contrary. We have had a bad tim e all around— there's no doubt of th a t — and of late weeks,” he added, with a deep sigh, \the w o rst of a ll.” \Good heavens! what has hap pened afresh?” cried Sophy, starting 0 her feet. \You are in m ourning, and Aunt Maria is in m o u rning too. It is surely not my dear R o b e rt?” \No no; thank God! it is not he,” said the canon earnestly; \but we have lost an old friend— a friend who was dear to all of us and to whom you, Sophy, were especially dear.\ Sophy put back her hair from her eyes— a fam iliar gesture, which brought her back to the canon’s m ind more than anything had yet done, for she was greatly changed. The expression of her face was that of bewilderment. For the moment — so little of reciprocity there is som etim es even in devoted love — she was unable to recognize the loss of which he spoke. Then, in a trem b ling voice and with a faint flush, she m u rm u red, \ I t is not, I trust, good Mr. Mavors.\ \Yes he has gone from this world to a better; but this would have been a better world to him had things turned out differently as regards yourself, Sophy. I was blind to it, but A u n t Maria was not; he sent to her when he was dying and told her all about it. His last words were a blessing upon you; the dream of his heart was th a t you should escape your unhappy fate; and his prayer has been answered.\ \Is my husband dead?” inquired Sophy, in trem b ling tones. “ Yes; don’t ask about it just yet; you shall know all in time. You are no longer a bond slave; yes”— h er eyes had turned to little W illie with yearning thankfulness— \and your child is safe; henceforth she will be yours w ithout fear.” Once more Sophy fell on her knees, but this time not to the canon. There are tim es when even to the tenderest hearts the loss of our dear ones is a source of happy release and a cause for thankfulness. A melancholy grat itude, indeed; but this was a case of a woman who recognized heaven’s mercy in the blow th a t had cut off her husband in the m idst of his sins. \And the past,” said Sophy, sol emnly, taking the child's hand in hers; \some reparation for even the past can now be made. We have thought a good deal about godpapa and how ho has been treated, have we not, W illie?” The child, sitting up very high In her little bed, well proped by pil lows, nodded adhesion. \I have left godpapa all my money,” she said. \Good heavens! W’hat does the dear child m ean?” inquired the can on, w ith a distressed look. \ I t is quite tru e ,” said Sophy gravely; \my darling and I are both of one mind in the the m atter. Her chief anxiety when Dr. Newton came to see her, was to know w h e ther she would live to be twenty-one, because 1 told her that she would then be able to repay you all that you had been robbed of.” \And If I was to die in the m ean tim e ,\ said little W illie. \ I should like to leave it all to him .” \I don’t suppose your good hue- band, Henny,” said Sophy, smiling, \w o u ld think very much of the val idity of the will of a child of six; but at all eventa it shows the ‘intention of the testato r .’ ” W ith th a t she produced from her desk the document in question, w rit ten in a large, round hand. \T h e re ,was no undue influence,” said Sophy, “ though I adm it th a t I ,som etim es steadied her wrist; not th a t we can’t w rite,” she added with m a ternal pride, \but because we were so very weak at the time. In deed it was wheu wo thought that wo should never get well and strong again that we did it.” The canon sat with this juvenile testam e n t spread out before him as reverently as though it had been an original MS. of Milton. The two women stood looking over his shoul der, m aking pretense to read it, but their eyes were too full of tears. •‘This is the last will and testa m ent of me, W ilhelraina Adair, spin- eter,\ it run, in due legal form, and ‘ b e q u eathed \all my worldly goods, of whatever kind, to W illiam Aldred, my godpapa.” \A n d whore on earth did WlliTe got all this legal knowledge?” in quired the legatee. \Jeannette had a sixpenny book Of general utility,” explained Sophy] •‘among the cohtente of which was the form of a will. She and I were the witnesses, but you will please \ to observe that the signature is Wil lie’s own.\ \I did all that by m yeelf/' rc- rk«4 the testator, with compla cency ; \m am m a did not guide my Angers.” \W e thought th a t m ight invali date the bequest,” said Sophy, smil ing. \ I t Is worth a good deal more than if it was valid,” cried the canon en thusiastically. \ I t ought to be in the college library with the ‘P a r a dise Lost.’ ” \U n h appily, however,\ sighed Sophy, \it Is only a proof of good in tentions. When I said th a t some re paration even for the past was now rendered possible, I was alluding, my dear guardian, to the interest of the money th a t has been stolen from you; only a small portion of it will now be necessary for our needs, and the rest will, of course, be paid you as we receive it; but, as to the prin cipal, I don’t see how it is ever to be refunded.” \You may make yourself quite easy upon th a t score, my dear Sophy,” said the canon, w ith tender gravity; “ for, as a m a tter of fact, it has been refunded.” \W h a t— w h a t— did the person who wronged you ol it repay ------- ” Astonishm ent and incredulity checked her utterance. \W hy, no, my dear,” put in the canon, dryly; “ it was not quite that way. The money came in directly from your hands. Our friend Mav ors had, in fact, left you a large sum. His lawyer tells me It had been or iginally intended for the college, but th a t some tim e ago— h e a ring th a t m a tters were not going prosperously with you— he made a new will. Then quite lately he saw Robert, and for the first tim e was made acquainted with the m a tters in connection with my trusteeship— how the money had to be paid twice over, and so forth.” “ Good heavens! How vile and base he m u st have thought m e !” groaned Sophy. \Q u ite otherw ise, my dear; he es teemed you so highly th a t he at once understood the sorrow and remorse you were suffering, from having been made the instrum e n t of my ruin. He felt th a t if he left you this money the first use you would put it to would be to repay me; but th a t un der the circumstances you would not have the power to do so, th a t your husband, In short, would have pre vented It. That It would have been like pouring w a ter into a sieve. He therefore bequeathed the £15,000 that I had advanced to you to my self, taking care, however, to explain to Aunt Maria why it was done. He felt as sure as if he had consulted your own wishes th a t such a dispo sition of his property would be sat isfactory to you.” \H eaven bless h im ! ” m u rm u red Sophy, gratefully. \H e has lifted a burden from me which I should oth erwise have carried to my grave.” \T h a t was the Very feeling for which he gave you credit,” put in Aunt Marla, softly. \H e read your heart, my dear, though he could not win i t.” \It was never worth his winning, Aunt M aria,” she answered, bitterly. “I was not fit to be the wife of an honest m an.” \Nay nay!” said the canon- \if it comes to honesty I shall have little to say for myself. Not only has the sum been bequeathed to me which was evidently Intended for you, but Mavors has left money to my hoy Robert. Myself and family have be come receivers, as it were of stolen goods, well knowing them as Fred would put it, to have been stolen.” \Then Robert will be able to m a r ry the girl of his choice,\ exclaimed Sophy, delightedly. \H e will no long er have reason to accuse me of hav ing wrecked his happiness.” \If It has been wrecked, it must have been amply insured,\ smiled the canon, ‘to judge by his face when I last saw him. He has telegraphed for his Alma, who will be at the Laurels in a week’s tim e .” \B u t I thought you had left the L a u rels— been driven— elsew h ere— all through me.” \T u t, tut! let bygones be bygones. Money that m akes the m are go has the same effect (if judiciously ad m inistered) upon a tenant. We have gone back to the old house, Sophy, and to the old ways; only one thing is wanting, we must have our Sophy back In her old home.” never feel that slightest regret when offensive persons of my acquaintance are removed to another sphere (of course I may be m istaken in my es tim a te of them ; but, in that case, it is a consolation to feel that they are gonn where their m erits, which es caped my lim ited observations, will be appreciated); and therefore I can not blam e poor Sophy th a t she felt so little sorrow for her bereavem ent. Some distress and pain, however, she did feel by reason of the m anner of her husband’s departure. John Adair, it was generally understood, was m u rdered. He was found dead under th a t cellar flap In Miller street: and \the theory” of what would have been “ the prosecution,” had there been anybody to prosecute, was as follows: Mr. Dawson, as has been m entioned, had an establishm ent in this street, which consisted, however, only of certain underground prem ises used for storage— probably of stolen goods. W hen Adair so Indis creetly exhibited to him th a t parcel of bank notes, it came into his mind th a t he would rather go abroad with ill-gotten gains than with the pos sessor of them , from whose custody he m ight (and doubtless w o u ld) have some difficulty In extracting them . W ith the aid of a confederate, he therefore planned a simple scheme for acquiring them ; the only thing necessary to the success of which was th a t Adair should take the right hand of the street. There was no reason, Indeed, why he should take the left hand; but if he had chanced to cross the road, the scheme would have been a failure. In that case Adair would have simply walked down the river stairs where the boat was aw aiting him ; as it was, instead of em b arking on the Thames, he crossed the Styx. Dawson’s confederate on tbe other side of the way was thought to have given some signal for the bolt of the cellar trap to be w ithdraw n just as Adair stepped upon it, when as we know, he suddenly disappeared from the sight of the detective. At all events he was found there dead. Sophy was received at the Laurels with open arms, but not at all like a returned prodigal. M a tters were made to go on as much as possible exactly the same as they had been used to do; those half a dozen years of absence and misery were treated as though she had been away on a week’s visit, and was now come home again. So many stitches cannot, how ever, be dropped in the web of life w ithout leaving a very ugly hole. The contrast between what was and w h a t had been was sharp and clear to her, for all their care, as a jagged rock against a sum m er sky. B itter est of all were her reflections upon what m ight have been. Even foi Sophy’s sake Robert could not con ceal his love when Alma came— a girl dutiful as beautiful, tender as pure, born for the adm iration of all, for the devotion of one. Not one spark of jealousy of her glowed in Sophy's bosom; but in her suprem e happiness she recognized all th a t she herself had so recklessly throw n away. She did not envy her as the chosen bride of an honorable and worthy young fellow— \ a ll these things had ceased to be” with her as though she was on her dying bed—• but the gifts which made her so pre cious in her eyes; some of these, at least, she had had In her power to bestow, and she had flung them Into the gutter. Y’oung as she still was in years, the joys of youth were al ready over with her; it was though she belonged to two generations back, and for the future could only hope to find her happiness in the happiness of others. A fter R o b e rt’s m arriage he re turned to India once more, from whence, at Intervals, two baby boys were forwarded to the care of grand papa and Aunt M arla; It Is needless to say th a t they were received w ith rapture, but they never put little W illie’s nose out of joint in the af fections of the can^n. “ Boys may cornel\ he was wont to say, as, bending over some picture book together, he mingled his silver with her golden hair, “and even girls may come; but they will never come between me and the girl who made me her heir.” And they never did.

In his comm entary on the death of Samson the Rev. R. A. W atson, D. D., says: The last scene of Samson’s history awaits us— the gigantic effort, the awful revenge in which the Hebrew champion ended his days. In one sense it aptly crowns the m an’s ca reer. The sacred historian is not composing a romance, yet the end coulfl not have been more fit. Strange ly enough it has given occasion for preaching the doctrine of self-sacri fice as the only means of highest achievement, and we are asked to j see here an example of the finest j heroism, the most sublime devotion. | Samson dying for his country is lik- ! pned to Christ dying for His people. ! It Is impossible to allow this for ' a moment. Not M ilton’s apology for | Samson, not the authority of all the illustrious men who have drawn the i parallel can keep us from deciding that this was a case of vengeance and self-murder, not of noble devotion. If this was truly a fine act of self- sacrifice w h a t good came of It? The sacrifice th a t is to be praised does distinct and clearly purposed service to some w o rthy cause or high moral end. We do not find that this dread ful deed reconciled the Philistines to Israel or moved them to belief In Jehovah. We observe, on the con trary, that It went to increase the hatred between race and race, so that when Canaanites, Moabites. Ammon ites, M idianites no longer vex Israel these Philistines show more deadly antagonism — antagonism of which Is rael knew the heat when on the red field of Gilboa the kingly Saul and the well-beloved Jonathan were to gether stricken down in death. If there was in Samson’s mind any though of vindicating a principle it was that, of Israel’s dignity as the people of Jehovah. But here his tes timony was worthless. Much is w ritten about self-sacrifice which is sheer mockery of truth, most falsely sentim ental. Men and women are urged to the notion that if they can only find some pretext for re nouncing freedom, for curbing and endangering life, for stepping aside from the way of common service that they may give up something in an un common way for the sake of any per son or cause, good will come of it. The doctrine is a lie. The sacrifice of Christ was not of that kind. It was under the influence of no blind desire to give up His life, but first under the pressure of a supreme pro vidential necessity, then in renuncia tion of the earthly life for a clearly | seen and personally embraced divine end, the reconciliation of man to God, the setting forth of a propitia tion for the sin of the world— for this it was He died. He willed to be our Saviour; having so chosen He bowed to the burden that, was laid upon Him. \ I t pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief.” To the end He foresaw and desired there was but one way— and the way was th a t of death because of m an’s wickedness and ruin. Suffering for Itself is no end and never can be to God or to Christ or to a good man. It is a necessity on the way to the ends of righteousness and love. If personality is not a de lusion and salvation a dream there must be in every case of Christian renunciation some distinct moral aim in view for every one concerned, and there m u st be at each step, as in the action of our Lord, the m o st distinct and unwavering sincerity, the most direct truthfulness.

W hen Sophy went down to Cam bridge, she was in deep m o u rning; but the heaviness of heart within her was caused by the sense of her own unworthiness, and not by her recent loss. The notion that the death even of the worst of husbands is a m a tter of regret is a very gener al one, and Is recorded on many en during substances, such as tom b stones. But the truth is that there is no relation In life which can hold its ground against persistent w rong doing. T h a t of the dead we should say nothing but good is an excellent raaxhp; but, unfortunately, it takes too ml,uch for granted— n amely, that there,Is some good to say about them. jDt .John Adair, It might, indeed, hltre been stated that he bad an ex cellent head \for figures;\ but even that euloglum, since It included the art of falsifying accounts, was o f a doubtful value. For my own cart I Z e a l Repressed.

We entreat would-be m o ralists of the day to comprehend before they w rite of •‘self-sacrifice.’’ The sacrifice of the moral judgm e n t is always a crime, and to preach needless suffering for the sake of covering up sin or as a means of atoning for past defects is to utter most unchristian falsehood. Samson threw away a life of which he was weary and ashamed. He threw it away in avenging a cruelty; but it was a cruelty he had no reason to call a wrong. \O God, that I might be avenged!\— th a t was no | p rayer of a faithful heart. It was ! the prayer of envenomed hatred, of ! a soul still unregenerate after trial. ; His death was indeed self-sacrifice— j the sacrifice of the higher self, the , true self, to the lower. Samson should have endured patiently, m ag nifying God. Or we can imagine something not perfect yet heroic. Had he said to those Philistines, My peo- | pie and you have been too long at ’ enmity. Let there be an end of it. I Avenge yourselves on me. then cease I from harassing Israel— that, would j have been like a brave man. But : it is not this we find. And we close I the story of Samson more sad than ever that Israel’s history has not taught a great man to be a good man, that the hero has not achieved the morally heroic, that adversity has not begotten in him a wise patience and m agnanimity. Yet he had a place under Divine Providence. The dim troubled faith th a t was in his soul was not altogether fruitless. No Je- hovah-worshiper would ever think of bowing before that god whose | temple fell in ruins on the captive Israelite and his thousand victims. Nervous and Cliroute Cases a Specially. H. L.
