"For aught I might know," he said to Mrs. Wortlo, "any curate coming to me might bave three wives, all alive." "That would be most improbable," said Airs. Wortle. "So was all this improbable,—just, as improbable. Nothing could be more Im- probable. Po we not all feel overcome with pity for the poor woman because she encountered trouble that was so improb• able? How much more improbable was it that I shoula come across a clergyman who had encountered such improbabili- ties." In answer to this Mrs Wortle could only shako bar heart, not at all understand- ing, the purport of her husband's arou went. But what was said about his school hurt hem more then what was said about his church. In regard to hes ohuroh he was impregnable. Not even the Bishop could touch him,—or even annoy him ntuch. But this "penny -a -liner," as that Doctor indignantly called him, had attacked him in his tenderest point. After declaring that ho did not intend to nlodd:e v ith the • school, he had -gone on to point out that an immoral Terson had been employed there, and had then invited all parents to tae away their sans. "He doesn't know what moral and immoral mottos " said the Doctor, again pleading his owncase td his own wife. "As far as I know, it would be hard to find a man of a higher moral feeling than :.r. Peacocke, or a woman than hie wife." "I supposes they ought to have separated when it was found out," said Mrs. Wortle. "No, no," he shouted; ' I ho d that they were right He was right to cling to her, and she was bound to obey him. Such a fallow as that,"—and he cruseed the paper up in his hand in his wra•h, as though he were crushing the editor him- self,—"such a fellow as that knows noth- ing of morttiity,nothing of honor, nothing of tenderness. What he did I Would ha to done, and Pll stick to him through it all in spite of the Bishop, in spite of the newspapers,and in spite of a:1 the rancour of all any enemies."

What would the world then have in store for her? `If it were mo," said the Dootor to himself, "I'dtako htlr to some other home, and treat her as My wife in spito of all the Puddioombes in creation;—in spite of all tho bishops " The Dootor, though he was a self-assert- ing and somewhat violent mean, was thor- oughly soft-1>)earted. It is to be hoped than rho readoe has already Iearned as intwit as that 1—a man with a kind, tender, affectionate. nature. It would perhaps be unfair to raise a question whether he would have done as much, been so willing so sacrifice himself, for a phtin woman. Had lar. Stantiloup, or Sir Samuel Griffin if he had suddenly come again to life, boon found to have pri r wives also living, would the Doctor have found shelter for them in their ignominy and trouble? Mrs. Wortle, who knew her husband thorough- ly, was sure that he would not have done so. Mrs. Peacocke was a very beautiful woman, and the Doctor was a man who thoroughly admired. beauty. To sae that Airs. Wortle was jealous would bo quite untrue. She liked to sec her husband talking •to a pretty woman, because he would be sure to be in good humour, and sure to make the best of himself. She loved to see him shine. But she almost wished that Mrs. Poa000ke had been ugly, because there would not have then been so much danger about the school. "I'm just going up to see her," said the Doctor, as soon as he got borne,—"just to ask her what sho wants," "I don't think she wants anything," 11: is lnll)Ilcd," said the Dooms, "that I allowed %Ir, Peacocke to preach in my oh moil afttlr I knew his marriage was in- formal."

"There, perhaps, I am not a judge, as I never kept a school;—but I think not. If any father writes to you, then tell him the truth." If the matter had gone no farther than this, the Doctor might probably have left Mr. Puddioombe's house with a sense of thankfulness for the kindness rendered frim; but he did go farther, and endeavor- ed to extract from bis friend somo sense of • the injustice shown by the Bishop, the Stantiloups, the newspaper, and his ene- mies in general through the diocese.

"I deny it," said the Doctor, rising un imiestuously from his chair. • Then I do not unclesr. tand the position, Dr. Wortlo. That is all I can say." "To my thinking, Mr. Euddicatnbe, I never came across a better man than Mr. eat+ocko in my life." "I cannot make comparisons.

CHAPTER XIV.— 'EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS.' But there arose a trouble greater than that oocastuned by time Broughton Gazetto. There mine out an artiole in a London woekly nowsdaper, calved 'Everybody's Business.' wihoh nearly drove the Dootor mad. This was an the last, Saturday of the holidays. The holidays had been com- menoed in the iniddle of July, and went on till the end of August. Things had not gone well at Buwiok during these 'creeks. The parents of all the four nowly expected boys had•-ohangod their minds. Ono father had discovered that ho could not afford it Another deularod that the mother could not be got to part with her darlitg quite so soon as he had expected. A third held found that a private tutor at home would best suit his purposes. While the fourth boldly said that he did not like to stud his boy because of the "fuss" which had been made about Mr. and Mrs. Poaoouke. Had this least oomo alone, the Doctor would probably bavo resented such a communication; but following the others as it did, he proferred the fourth )}ran to any of the other -throe. "Miser - Milo cowards," ho said to hinisclf, as he docketed the totters and put them away. But the greatest blow of all,—of all blows of this sort,—name to hien from poor Lady Ann Clifford.

It was the purpose of rho periodical to amuse: its ro:tdors, as its name doctored, with the: private affairs of their neighbors.

But in managing everybody's busi- ness in that fashion, let the writer be as good-natured as he may, and let the prin- ciple be ever so woll founded- that nobody is to be hurt,stili there are dangers. Itis not always easy to know what will hurt •anti what will not. Anel then sometimes thoro will come a temptation to be; not spiteful, but specially aniusing. There must be danger, and a svriter will some- times be indiscreet. Personalities will lead to libels even when the libeller• has boon most innocent.
