The rumor of Sir Edmund's death spread -b t slowly ithat scattered neighborhood; and but few were the mourners-chiefly - - aged women and boys-that congregated to the wake that light, Baton the follow . liigight there was a considerable aseem of the peasantry, many of whom had Vm several miles to testify their regret and respect for hIm, however fallen, tnder whles. fEthers they and theirs had lived for csnturies and centuries. There was, how evaj o wild or noisy walling, owing less, peaps, even to the circumstances of the time, thain to respect lor the sacredness of Elln' grief. It was late in the night after Sir Ed mund's decease, when Father Kilger enter ed the cottage. Us.-had been in a distant portion of the parish and had not learned the tidings ofhis old friend's. death till a few hours previously, since when he had crossed streams and traversed mountain and beg in the rain and darkness, in order to reach the cottage ~fore the funeral Could pcedby take pace. Immediately after l416 entrance, having offered some Consolation to Ellen, on her last and great est vbemaement, and exhorted her to bear it, asfPe Christian should,- without mar muhr cautionwasr rensitoI and erc'ised,~o particularly as it was wh>isper - twothet Shawn "was seen hove%, time the neighborhood in the ev b,,-e corpse room was ocogled a men and women-the Ionand faithfal' retainers of the- T fanmly, with a few junieel f tv famniies; and thitkr, ,seirching sorautiny among th6 _eap of the por and kitchen by Frank ad the est the latter arrayed hi htlhible lay with bat sloucbed and cost mu ýed-auch of these as were deemed trustworthy, were also drawn graduasll andby whispered in vitations; some being left uhdisturbed, a few, known to be faithful persons, for ap pearance sake, and a few suspected efther of having attended the wake through cu-, riosity, or whose known and frequent in tercourse with Sir Robert caused them to be in the present case, objects of suspicion. When the congregation, selected to par take of the Mass, and. consisting of about twenty persons, y ng and old, were gathered into the all Corpse room, which they complete crowded, the door was locked and window-shautters fastened, with a ck screen esupended inside them, _tt from the lowness of the win dow slightest 'glimpse of the proceed in could be obtained. from the outside, fist a kerchief was placed over the key hole, that no prying eye might benefit by it. Then the priest, having hurriedly ar rayed himself in the few sacordotal robes he had seereted beneath -his disguise, commenced the service in a tone little above a whisper, but Which was distinctly and eagerly heard amid the intense silence preserved by the little group-.a silence almost 4 profound as that of the corpse for which Te prayed. Eagerly did Ellen, above all <Jten to .the .oly words so ase. dom bea f fltea w.iaeh, she knew, wotaid sv beensolo " i 'byAbim t whl. e prayer, thougLh now and then, she I was obliged to bow her head, to rub away the fast rushing tears, as her eyes involun tarily wandered from the clergyman and the ceremony he was performing to the pallid face of the dead; so soon to be hid den from her view for ever; while Father Bernard-his tall, thin person and spiritual featurearendering him no inapt representa tive of a mediator, as he stood between the living and the dead-performing his func tions with fervor and deep feeling, low as were his accents, notwithstanding that, oc casionally, he could not control a-glance of doubt and fear towards door and window. And it was well those precautions had been taken, as the ceremony was barely at its conclusion, and the partakers only pre paring to leave the. room gradually, and one by one, when the voice of Sir Robert now Sir Robert beyond all disputation was heard in loud and violent altercation with some, who were attempting to stay his progress beyond the little hall that di vided the parlor from the wake room. He was evidently intoxicated, and his voice completely terrified the occupants of the wake room; with the exception of Frank, who, with flashing eye, was proceeding to open the door, in order to beard the brutal bacchanal Without. . " No, no, Frank, you shall not endanger us all to indulge your excited temper, whatever excuse there may be for your ex citement at present," said Father Bernard, placing himself against the door and lay-. ig one hand on Frank's shoulder, while with the other he astily concealed the sacerdotal robes again within the coarse garments he had resumed. ".I know that voice, too, and it bodes good neither to those individuals here nor to me, were we to be seen through your-means; be sides thyt, any collision would, surely, be out of place and character just now, how ever gross the conduct of the misguided boy. That windpri, small as it is, will permit of our egress, without risking such unholy collision ; and in that direction you must come with me, by which means we shall avoid endangering the living anddis respecting the dead-let us move at once." " Father Bernard is right, dear Frank; and do remove yourself with him for a few hours for all-our sakes," said Ellen, after a pause. " And leave you exposed to drunken and brutal insolence, Ellen, were even nothing further-to be feared !" " There is nothihg to be feared for me, Frank," she said earnestly; "but as you would save from insult the poor remains of him who loved you-loved us both-oh Frank, go at once--"a burt of hysterical sobbing overpowered her, and she' sank against the bed. " I am gone, dearest Ellen I" he exclaim ed; and with an agility pertaining to Lis form and habits, he had passed through the little window which had been opened by the priest, and was assisting the latter in his less active descent. They had scarcely completed their egress when Sir Robert, having broken away from those who had been endeavoring to detain him, kicked fiercely at the door, ex £laimin in atone of drulaken-violence : " Open at once, I command ye. I know ye have some varmint among ye, but 1'll nnerth him speedily or blases to me." The door was instantly opened, and the scene that met his view might well have subered and softened any one les hardened R º s.ý: ,arcs: ;estin on ýber, while is of a a mo and stared wildly around. The effect was but moment, however; for be as in thatstat ohalf drunkenness-not drnk. eaness itself--wheni the' violent or evil tempered are least governable by them selves or othera. Recovering instantly his intoxicated and heartless brutality, he ad vaced into the room, shouting: "Nell, I anderstood you had one of the forbidden, one-of the real game agnong ye, and I was determined to give him chase; but ,un have given him the start, I see." " Robert, Robert this is terrible," said his aister, raising herself, "look there " she pointed to the corpse. " Yes, I see, Nell. He has run the course we must all run, and distanced us, I sup pose. Well, he was a highfiyer in his day and deserved a longer course," "Oh, God forgive you, Robert, for having the heart to speak so. Fallen, fallen as you were, I could not imagine that you could bring yourself to use 'such words respect ing - respecting - Oh, God forgive you again." She sank her face on her hands. " Nell, you needn't get" intS the heroics. I can feel as well as another; but it wasn't tocry I came herd now. I suspected and, heard you Intended to bury the old boy ac cording to your own forbidden ideas, and the foolish way he lived; but I am de termined he shall be buried in the lawful and respectable way befitting the head-of the Lynches, and without any of the howl ingof those drunken beldames and brutes perdition to them, what brings them here?"' He shook his hand and stazaed n- re ._ d opntamblgn in ggl itu ý paused without the door to watch the issue of the scene, burning with rage, and only prevented by their' affection for Ellen and their veneration for. the dead, from laying violent hands, even in the- wake room, on the ruthless and unnatural son apd brother. " Robert," said Ellen, starting up and wiping away the tears which had been blindig her, " I have borne with a calm ness wonderful to-myself your brutality up to the present moment. I_bhave not even once accused you of having hastened the death of my darling father by your aban doned and unnatural acts. But now that you venture to assert you will inter him, whose heart you have broken, with rites contrary to the faith of those he loved and hoped in, I discard, at once and forever, all ties between us, proclaiming you in the presence of our father's corpse, as the mon ster you are, and telling you to your face, you shall not dare remove abingle inch the dear remains of him, to whom your very name was an abomination for many along month past." Outraged grief and affection lent her a degree of energy that completely startled her heartless brother, asshe stood con fronted with- him, proudn and erect, with eye and cheek momentarily flushed from marble paleness to deep crimson. But the spirit of partial intoxication supported him, and he instantly rejoined with a brutal laugh: ".Hallo, my little girl, I see you're true game, but you're crowing a little too loud, though you may expect to be backed by Master Arthur Ifolliot or pousin Frank that, I hear, has been hovering around here latterly with some of his smuggling friends. -Bit, wy litte vixen, you'll soon And that even their mighty back won't be able to prevent me from burying Sir Ed mand Lynch in a way worthy of his rank and loyalty, though his wake has not been so." "Away, heartless and impious renegade, and pollute not further the presence of, the dead," she said, stamping her foot' and .olenching her amall band energetically. " Begone at once, before patience ls utterly exhausted. You think I am lone and at your mercy, but you are wrong "---some two or three faces, with fierce excitement charactered on them, showed themselves at the door, and fiercely-muttered impreca tions were uttered-" and you think not- cannot at present think-what such terrible provocation may produce. Away, then, to your drunken and dissolute companions, and no longer disquiet the apartment of the dead, lest heaven itself should crash you where you stand." "Yis, Miss Ellen darlin'," exclaimed Katty, rushing in, after having been arous ed from a long slumber, with her thin, grey hairs tossed wildly about her withered face and neck and fury flashing from her rbeumed eye, "let him begone, afore the sperit itsel' gets up an' sthranglesbim on the spot, like as Hosreese disc (black Henry) did with his on dutiful scn, at his own wake (to them sel's be it tould)-God an' the Vergin for give me that I should have a hand in rairin' slch an onnathrel crather.

"Ltell you, Gordon," said Sir Robert, in a.' violent tone, " though I may be obligsd to pay you tithes for nothing, you shall not prevent my having my father buried' according to my own wish. I am not to be.rode rough-shod over, like soan woman or a boy." "I wish, Sir Robert," said Mr. rdon impressively, " you had show ore filial respect towards an over in t parent during his life, and that I of profan iog the house of death you were now ex hibiting conduct, m re indicative of the feelings otf a son -and a Christian, on so solemn and mournful an occasion.

SGordon, you are calculating on your gown, like any other old woman," said Sir Robert, furiously, " but, though you reckon on' your cloth saving you from personal 1 chastisement, you may find. yourself mis- 1 taken even in that respect, if you persist in thus thwarting me in a matter that doesn't concern you; besides that, my word may be somethiog with Sir John still. " Sir Robert, you miscaleulate my char acter altogether-else, you are not just 1 now in a state to estimate it properly, or you would not deem for a moment I could I e deterred from interfering in a case that affects me so strongly as this, by any per sonal or selfish fears. All paltry consider ations in regard to preferment, you might have learned before this, I have long ago flung to the winds; and I now tell you dis- I tinctly that I 'shall remain here, however it may anger you, until I see you depart from t a roof you should protect from annoyance 1 against the world, and beneath which, nothing should have tempted-you to in trude on this night,, and in so unhallowed 1 a ppirit." "The ministher has a sowl to be saved, I afther all, an' be's talkin' like a Christian, asure enough " whispered Katty to a crone who had had the hardihood to remain with her, when her other companions fled; while the infuriated baronet swore, with tremen- I dous imprecations, he would make the ben evolent clergyman retract his words. "Arra don t purtend to hear the brute, yer reverence; an' mysel' an' the women alone 'll soon give him the etaide, not to a be aggravatin' yoursel' an' the darlin' young misthress, not to talk o' distarbin' 1 the blessed corpse." " Ay, pitch the blasphemin' harncoat out o' the windy," exclaimed somdbf the men' outside the, door, forgetting, in the resist less excitement of the moment, all fears for his future resentment. Mr. Gordon seated himself calmly by the window, while Sir Robert, clutching his 1 whip more firmly, glanced fiercely from the rector towards the door whence the voices bad proceeded. There was something, however so threatening and omioous of danger, In the wolfish eyes and fierce coun tenances that protruded through the door- a way, that, after a brief struggle with his I wrath, he moved out, spearing he would I have the burial his own way, after all, and that he would have revenge, and speedily, on Mr. Gardn, and parasued by the "curses, loud sad deep," of the devoted re- 1 tainers amid whom be predeeded.
