any use. He did: not wish ,,that ho

she'would wear it. .There went the

"ABB YOU SOEBY?"
No spray moved in the rugged .black
branches outside no robin perched
amongst them to sing his good-night
song, and bid her eheer up this dull
November night. It was growing
dusk. A servant came in to draw the
curtains and light the candles in .the
big centre chandelier. Amy turned
from the window to the fire, and satand
down. A strange presentiment oppress
ed her of something unusual going on in
the house. There had been a sudden
confusion, a hasty opening and shutting
of doors, and voices raised above their
wonted pitch but she bad been ill,
and was a prisoner in the drawing-room,
whenoe she did not dare to issue that
she might see for herself what was
wrong-^if, indeed, anything were
wrong. She looked at the servant's
with the idea of asking some
question but the face was dull and ex
pressionless, only absorbed in the light
ing of those candles, BO she gave it .up.
When she was alone again, she look
ed into the tire and thought. She had
been thinking all day not because her
thought were pleasant to her, but /be
cause they would not let her alone. Was
she getting well She hardly knew.
She was hot very sure thatv she want
ed to get well. Nobody eared whethe
she did or not. Of course it was very
wrong,.and morbid, and foolish to think
such thoughts, but it is not always pos
sible to help thinking them. When
Dr. Guise looked at her through his
spectacles, and pronounced that his
prescriptions had done her good, She
laughed, but the kind old doctor did,
not know why. He would say, "That's
laugh as much as you like it's
better than phys'o."
But the fact was, that when Joanna
as regularly as a certain hour came
round, poured out a glass of nectar for
Amy, and brought it to her, Amy
would look at it and through it, as a
connoisseur does at wine, and then
she would wait until Joanna's back was
turned, and wickedly throw it away.
No. Dr. Guise never did her any good
before, and she would not take biscould
messes now. If Sir. Francis insisted
'on his coming"to see her, why of course
mu9teome.' She could not help
that Perhaps Dr. Guise was right
enough when he^pronounoed her malady
nothing but nervous depression, and re
commended Change and individual ex
ertion. Well, she had had change
enough Dykeham was a change now,
and she preferred to remain there. As
for exertion, there was nothing, so farIon
as she could see, worth exerting her
self about.
While she sat by the fire, wondering
what she could find to do besides read
and think, Joanna came in. Amy just
glanced at her, and thought there was
unusual about her face, and
then Mrs. Lescar said, "Dr. Seeker is
here."
She was sorry for having said it
when she saw Amy suddenly put her
hand to her left side, as she had a habit
of doing if anything startled her. But.
Mrs. Lescar found it difficult to com
prehend this extreme facilty for being
startled.
"Frank foil into the Dyke, and Dr.
Seeker saw him, and jumped in after
him. Frank will be allright,the doo
tor says but they have put him into
bed, and Lady Crevillon fancies he islongerany
feverish, so the doctor has promised to
stay here the night. I thought you
might like to know."
In all this quietness and matter-of
fact of Joanna's, Amy could not know
that for once in bcr life the placid wo
man stirred with a unwonted feeling of
emotion. If there was any one shesorrow
cared for very much in the. world it
was Frank. She saw in him the future

Amy looked up from the I with
spark of sudden, angry light in herpeared
eye.

Amy made a gesture of assent, if, in

utter indifference, absence of mind
or intolerance of the subject.

there was something between you. She

"You might have killed«e,w was all
Amy said. And she said it so quietly
low that Joanna had to consider a
little before she quite knew what it
meant.
"I think Dr. Seeker felt it a good
deal. I remember that he would walk
up and down the room, which is a rest
lessness that always makes me angry

"Is that all you have to
now, Joanna?"
"All Really, I don't know of any

"Then, ifyou don't mind, I wish you
would go away."
Joanna started a little, but complied.
It was very odd. She had been mar
ried herself, and had liked Mr. Leaser
very well indeed, hot then he was
inbe
every respect1afitperson for her to like.
That Amy should have obstinately pre
ferred Carl Seeker to Lord Frederic
Pege was a thing she really oould not
understand. Both seemed that she
had so preferred him. It was a matter
of very little or no real cooaeqoenoe to
Joanna, but she thought that, so far as
she bad been concerned in separating
them, she would undo her work, and
rtho
rest was in their own hands.

went up stairs again, and, sit-
ting down, unourled Frank's fingers
from the doctor's hand, and actually
kissed them as the boy slept. Dr. Seek
er saw her do this. A thought, that
she had never baked so womanly to
him before, came into his mind and
with it something else,—a strange,
dawning hope, a sudden, wild light

which had written itself in the softened
lines of her face.
"We shall never knew howtobe

With some such words also the baronet
bad expressed his gratitude, hot this
strange woman only sat down and kiss
ed Frank's fingers, with that unac
countable softeoing of manner towards
himsslf.
"Mrs. Lesosr," said Carl, "yon have
something to say to me. If so, if it is
anything about—I suppose I am right
in my head—whatever it may be, say it,
for God's sake, and don't torture me."
"I have nothing particular to say,"

About thirty yoars ago a book ap
before the American public,
heating the title of "An Apology for
the Bible." It was answered by Dan.
iel Humphreys, of Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, a learned Christian gentle
man, who in a small volume entitled
'The Bible needs no Apology," refuted
and brought to naught theflimsyargu
ments and pernicious doctrines of the
former work. Now, in the nineteenth
century, amidst all the boasted enlight
enment of the Christian churches, it
seems to be the bent of many not only
to apologise for but to revise and cor
rect the,Holy Sciptures to curtail and
abridge them to suit individual taste
and fancy to benJ and warp them to
serve peculiar cases and circumstances
of life and, worse than all, to choose
which part they shall utterly reject.
This is often done by professing Chris
tians,.but do they, can they, think
where they are standing?—on more
than dangerous ground, on the verge
of a precipice. They are giving to the
unbelieving the strongest .arguments
against God's holy word they ase
striking deadly blows at all the beauty
of the Christian religion and moreover
terribly endangering their own well be
