CHAPTER XVII.

IN WHICH THE STORY PAUSES A LIITLE,

| | | | | Tas Rector of Broxton is little better I hear one of my lady readers exclaim. ‘How much more edify- ‘ing it would have been if you had made him give Arthur some truly spiritual advice, You might have put into his mouth the most beautiful things—quite as good as reading a sermon.’

Certainly 1 conld, my fair critic, if I were a clever novelist, not «bliged to creep servilely after nature and fact, but able to represent things as they never have been and never will be. Then, of course, my characters will be entirely of my own choosing, and I could select the most unex- ceptionable type of a clergyman, and put my own adinirable opinions into his mouth on all occasions. But you must have per- | ceived long ago that I have no such lofty | vocation, and that I aspire to give no more | than a faithful account of men and things’ as they have mirrored themselves in my. mind. The mirror is doubtless defective ; the outlines will sometimes be disturbed ; the reflection faint or confused; but 1 feel as much bound to tell you, as precisely as I , lean, what that reflection is, as if 1 were in the witness-box narrating my experience | on oath,

lthan a pagan !’

were not zealous; indeed, there is reason to believe that the number of zealous clergy- men was small, and it is probable that if one among the small mivority hal owned the livings of Broxton and Hayslope in the year 1799, you would have liked him no! better than you like Mr. Irwine. Ten to one, you would have thought him a taste- | less, indiscreet, methodistical man. It is | so very rarely that facts hit that nice medium required by our own evlightened opinions and refined taste! Perhaps you!

with expression of unmistekalle content- ment and good will, * Foh" says my idealistic friend, *what vulgar details | What good is there in taking all these pains to givean exact likeness of old women and clowns’ Whata low phase of life !—what clumsy, ugly people |’

ur, bless us, things may be lovable that are not altogether handsome, 1 hope. 1 am not at all sure that the majority of the human race have not been ugly, and even among these ‘lords of their kind,’ the British, squat figures, ill-shapen nostrils, and dingy complexion, are not startling exceptions. Yet there is a great deal of family love among ue. 1 have a friend or two whose class of features is such that the Apollo curl on the summit of their brows would be decidedly trying; yet, to my cer- tain knowledge, tender hearts have beaten for them, and their winistures— flattering, but still not lovely—are kissed in secret by motherly lips. I have seen many an ex- cellent matron, who could never in her best days have been handsome, and yet she had a packet of yellow love-letters in a private drawer, and sweet children showered kisses on her sallow cheeks. And I believe there have been plenty of young heroes, of mid- dle stature and feeble beards, who have felt quite sure they could never love anything more insignificant than a Diana, and yet have found themselves in middle life hap- pily settled with a wife who waddles. Yes ! thank God; human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth ; it does

And I would not, even if I had the | choice, be the clever novelist who could \cres.te a world so much better than this, in | which we get up in the morning to do our | daily work, that you would be likely to turn 'a harder, colder eye on the dusty streets ;and the common green fields—on the real | breathing men and women, who can be chilled by our indifference or injured | by vour prejudice ; whocan be cheered and (helped onward by your fellow-feeling, your 'forhearance, your ontepoken, brave justice.

The Forty Thieves. A WHOLESALE HANGING—OUTLAWRY IN MON- TANA AND NORTHWESTERN CANADA.

Maj. Chapleau, Sheriff of the North- west Territories, who is in Ottawa lon business connected with the Dominion Government, seys that the country is infest- ed with horse thieves from Montana, the settlers being completely at their mercy, owing to the small number of men in the command of the mounted police. The American authorities, he says, are largely to blame for not taking more vigorous measures to suppress Montana outlaws. The sheriff says the horse thieves are
