"Yes;—different in not eating the Doc- tor's dinners when they aro offered to you ; different in not accepting Lady de Lawle's hospitality; different in contenting your- self simply with your duties and your Inx. band. Of course we are different. How could we not bo different? 'And as we aro different, so of course there will be goes tions and wonderings,and that sifting and searching which always at last finds out the fat. The Bishop says that 11e knows nothing of lay American life." "Whs. should he want to know any- thing?" "Because I have been preaching in one of his churches. It is natural;—natural that the mothers of the boys should want to know so:nothing. The Doctor says that be hates secrets. So do 1." "Oh, shy dearest!" "A secret is always accompanied by more or loss of fear, and produces more or less of cowardice. But it can no more be avoided than a sore on the flesh or a brok- en bone. Who would not go about, with all his affairs melt as the world might know, if it wore possible? But there conte gangrenes in the heart, or perhaps in the pocket. Wounds cone, undeserved wounds as those did to you, my darling; but wounds which may not be laid bare to all eyes. Who has a secret because he chooses it?" "But the Bishop?" "Well,—yes, the Bishop. The Bishop has told the Doctor to examine me, and the Doctor has done it. I give him tt e credit of saying that the task has been most dis- tasteful to Min. I do him the justice of acknowledging .that sae has backed out of the work he had undertaken. He hasask- ed the question, and has said in the same breath that I need not answer it unless I like." "And. you You have not answered it yet?" ' o: I have answered nothing as yet. Bat I have, I think, made up my mind that the question must be answered." "That everything should he tout?" "Everything,—to him. My idea is to tell everything to him, and to leave it to him to decide what should be done. Should lie refuse to repeat the story any further,, and then bid us go away from Bowie's, I should think that his conduct had been altogether straightforward and not uncharitable." "And you,—what would you do then?" "I should go. What else?" "But whither?" "Ah 1 on that we must decide. He would be friendly with me. Though the might think it necessary that I should leave I3owick, he would not turn against me violently." "Ho could do nothing." "I think he would assist me rather. He would help me perhaps, to find some place where I might still earn lay bread by such skill as I possess;—where 1 ca.tld do so without clra;ging in aught of my domes- tic life as I have been forced to do here." "I have been a curse to you," exclaim- ed the unhappy wife. "My nearest blessing," he said, "that which you call a curse has 00111e from cir- cumstances which are common to both of m9, novo need be no more said about it, That man has been a source of trouble to us.

It was thus he thought of the mat- ter, after consideration. Ho must wait, of course, till tho week siheuld bo over bo - fore he outdo up his Mind to anything further. "So Peaeooke isn't going to take the ou rauy?„ This was said to the Doctor by Mr. Pearson, the squire, in the course of those two or throe days of which we are speak- ing. Mr, Pearson was an old gentleman, who did not live often at Bowiok, being coin polled, as ho always said. by his health, to spent) the winter and spring of every year in Italy, and the summer months by his family in London. In truth be did not muoh caro forBowiok,bnt had always boon on good tonins with the Doctor, and had never opposed the school. Mr. Pear- son had boon good also as to Church mat- ters,—as far as goodness can be shown by generosity,—and hat interested himself about tho citrates. So it had cense to pass that the Dootor did not wish to snub his neighbor when the question was asked. "I rather think not," said the )Doctor, "1 fear I shall have to look out for someone else," Ho diti not prolong the °paver. (- tion; for, though lie Wished to be civil ho did not wish to he coennluniogtise. Mr. Pearson 1111(1 shown his parochial solioi- title, ant did not trouble time° w farther questions. "So Mr. Peac'ocke isn't going to take the curacy?" This, the very salve question in the very same words, was put to the Doc- tor on the next morning by the vicar of tho next -parish. Tho Rev. Alt. Puddi- coml)e, a clergyman without a flaw, mho might have gone on; but as it is I em did his duty excellently in every station of bound to toll ham the truth." life, was one who would preach a sermon, "Then we must go?" "Probably." "At once?" "When it has been so decided, the soon- er the bettor. How could we endure to remain when our going shall bo desired?" Oh nos" "We must Sit, and again seek sonto other home. Though he should keep our secret,—and I believe he will if he be ask- ed,—it will be known that there is a 50- eret, and a secret of such a nature that its circumstance, have driven his hence. If I could got literary work in London, perhaps we might live there." •".But how,—how would you see about it? The truth is, dearest, that for work such ns yours you should either have no wife at all, or also a. wife of whom you need not be ashamed to speak the whole truth before the world." " What is tho use of it?" he said, rising from his chair as in anger. "Why go back to all that which should be settled between us, was fixed by fate? Each of us has given to the other all that each lhns to give, and the partnership is complete. As far as that ie conoenerd, I at any rate am contented." "Ah, my darling f" she exclaimed, throwing her arms round his neck, "Let there be an end to distinctions and differences, which, between you and vie, can have no effect but to increase our troubles. You are a wonlail, and I am a.

Brit not on that ac- count do I wish to unfrock myself; nor certainly on that account do I wish to be deprived of my wife For good or bad, it has to be endured together; and exprose stens of regret as to that which is un- avoidable only aggravate our trouble." After that,he seated himself, and took up a book as though Ice were able at once to parry off his mind to other matters. She probably knew that he could not do so, but she sat silent by him for awhile, till he bade her take herself to bed, promising that he would follow without delay, For three days nothing farther was said between them on the subject, nor was any allusion made to it between the Doctor and his assistant. The school went on the same as ever, and the intercourse be- tween the two men t^as unaltered as to its general mutual courtesy. But there did undoubtedly grow in the Doctor's mind a certain feverish feeling of insecurity. At any rate, he knew this, that there was a mystery, that there was something about the Peacockos—sonhothing referring espe- cially to Mrs. Peacocks,—which, if ggner- ally known, would be hold to be deleteri- ous to their character. So mooh he could not help deducing teem what the maul had already told hint No doubt he had undertaken, in his generosity, that al- though the man should decline to tell his secret, no alteration shoed be made as to the sohool arrangements; but the became conscious that in so promising he had in some degree jeopardized the wellbeing of the school. Ho began to whisper to him- self that persons In such a position as tint filled by this Mr. leetteoeke and his wife should not be subject to peculiar remarks from ill -nattered tongues. A weapon w:aa afforded by such a mystery to the Stnnli- loupe of the world, which the Stantiloups would be sure to use with ail their viru- lence. To such an establishment as This school, respectability was everything;.

He was a little too pious, and . perhaps given to ask questions. "So Mr. Pea- cocko isn't going to take the ouraoy'r" There was a certain animation about the asking of this question by Air.

"Upon my word I can't toll you," he sant, rather orossly. "I thought that it had been all settled.

Daring the last six months Mr. Pea- coeke's nhost intimate friend at Bowiok, excepting of coarse his wife; had been. ono of the pupils at the school. Tho lad was one of the pupils, but could not be said to bo One of the boys He was the young Lor(( Carstairs, oldest son of Earl Bracy. Ho had been sent to Bowiok now six year's ago,with the usual purpose of progressing from Bowicic to Ilton. And from Bowiok to Eton ho had gone in due course. But there, things had not gond well with the young lord. Some school disturbance had taken lilae° when ho ha I been there about a year and a half, in which ho was, or was supposed to have been, a ringleader. It was tlhouzlit necessary, for tho preserva- tion of tho discipline of the school, that a victim should be made;—and it was per- fume thought well in order that the im- partiality of the school might ho made Inanifost,tliat the victim should boa lord. Ear' Bracy was therefore asked to with- draw his son; and young Lord Carsthaae% at the ago of seventeen, was left to seek his education whore the could, It had been, and still was, tho earl's purpose to send his son to Oxford, hint there was now an interval of two years before that could. bo accomplished. During ono year he was sent abroad to travel with a tutor, and was then reitortod to be all that a well-con- ducted lad ought to be. He was ueclaroel to bo quite worthy of all that Oxford wonld do for ]him. It wag even enggested that l+ltoia had done badly fol, ]herself in rhrowingoff from her such ayoung noble- man. But though Lord 'Caretaire had done well with his French and Gammon the Continent, it would certainly be neces- eery that he should rub up this Greek antil United Presbyterian: There are Latin before he went to Christ ()huroh. Then a request was shade to the Doctor to "dead languages;" they are no long - take him in at Bowick in some sort as a er spoken by the people. The lang- uage of the gospel never becomes dead.

Money No Object. The amount of money sufferers from catarrh will spend in attempting to cure that foul and disagreeable disease is al- most increditible. J. W. Jennings, of Gilford. Ont., say.: "I spent. between $200 and $300 consulting doctors; 1 tried all the treatments without benetit.
