‘‘Isapossible, my son!” replied Norna. “Yor cannot be sv dull of heart, so poor of spirit, as to prefer the idle mirth and house- wife simplicity of the younger sister, te the deep feeling and high mind of the noble- spirited Minna? Who would stoop to gather the lewly violet, that might have the rose for stretching out his hand? **Some think the lowliest flowers are the sweetest,” replied Mordaunt, ‘‘and in that

It seemed as if this reproach struck Norna with the force, at once, and vivacity of . light- ning ; for she struck. her forehead with her hand, and seemed about to drop from her seat. Mordaunt, greatly shocked, hastened to catch her in his arms. and, though scarce knowing what to say, attempted to utter some incoherent expressions,

‘*Spare me, Heaven, spare me!” were the first words which she muttered ; “do not let my crime be avenged by his meats !—Yes, young man,” she said, after a pause, ‘‘ you have dared to tell what I dared not tell my- self. You have pressed that upon me, which,

From the day when, as a young lawyer, he defended the American sympathiser, General Von Schultz, who was hanged in spite of him in 1839, he was a marked man in his profession, and a Mon- treal paper of that date predicted for him a career which he has more than ‘fulfilled since. Elected for Kingston in 1844, he has | identified himself ever since with the poli-| tical growth of the countr; he has done so much to raise from a group of insignificent Colonies to her present position among na- tions, and for twenty-nine years has led the Conservative party, and, with but a_ brief interval, the Canadian House of Commons itself.
