The schoolroom teenwes served, but, as a growa-up youag lady who dined la,te .wi.th " papa" and! was no Inger amenable to schoolroom rules, pee- ferred an olcl-fashioned deep arm -chair by the fire to a place at the Labie where the integiity of my long dresses might be endangered by waadering aims of bread and butter aud shipwrecked cups of tea, in spite of nurse's many and act Inirable devices for euforcing ceder among her numerous flock. Our ages ranged from twenty years to eighteen months. I was the eldest ; next to me, after an interval, of six years, came 13ertie; and. then, af'ter 'mother gap of three yeats and a half, came Rosa, aged ten, the eldest of a se- cond family of Bve. My own mother lad died when Beetle was born, but my 'ether's second marriege had so well .eplacecl her that, until he became a 'second time a widower, I might almost bay we had never felt lier loss. I rarely remembered that Beetle was more closely related to me than were my other brothers and sisters, but he was certainly a great pot of Mine, per - laps because nurse, whose advent had been simultaneous :with the arrival of he second family, was rather inclioecl -0 be more severe nith him than with her own children, as She called her itirslings, to distinguish them from Bartle aud me. Being only fourbeea, Bertie of course had not my privileges, but it WAS his custom, partly I fear to lisplay his contempt of authority, to it sideways on his chair at tea -time, and to break the strict rulo of silence eitenen nurse endeavored to enforce at needs, by talking to me, relating the crapes he had got in. and out of during he clay. Accordingly I missed him, md enquired. what had become of him. " Where's Beetle ?" " He'th gone to thee a thtohe WO- nan," lisped a high piping voice, with mpattira emphasis on all the words, big and little ; to which there came a rushing rejoinder from ti personage vho, having laved two years longer in he worn; was enabled to speak with tutherity from hie proportionately lar- ger experience. " Alice, you silly? How* could a stone womaa eat, or breathe -or -or -ora--aaything ?" " IVIaster Fred, don't contradict your ittle sister, and, Miss Alike, don't speak with your mouth fall. Sit up, end don't turn the jam side next your face 1" interposed nurse, administering 'itstice with an eventual "It'e very lisobedient of Master Bertie, miss," she added to me, " but he's gone over to Treleaven in the fece of your pa's or- ders.

"Papa is oat," I said, and refleeted with inwara Satisfectimi that his er- Tend-a visit to a Hell man atthe °thee side of the parish -was likely to detain hiM long enough to give Beetle time to get home undetected; Sir Albaity Treleavela Or local gran- dee, had only recently returned after all absence of some yeare. In old days, my fathei and he had been on. friendly terms, and, though my &thee. had dis- approved, as injurious, of his conduet in a terrible domestic trial which prece- ded and was in fact the cause of his go- ing away, he had not been many days at home before he invited •my father to Clinner in terms 'that displayed every disposition tate:eras a cordial renewal of 'Lb.° acquaintance. , My father,' who was then engaged in hot aonteation with the larger number of his parishioners, because, out of a rooted. dislike to innovation of any kind, they objected to his replacing the old, stiff higlabackecl pews of Treleaveti March with open sittings, founded great hopes upon Sir Albany's infht. once being exerted on his side, and Set out in high spirite. But in the &mese of the' oveningit appeared that Sir Al- bany was 80 unfortunate as to think the parishioners' in tho' right and iny father in the \vying, and the disappoint., vont ineident tb this discovery infused whet I 'incite cell, however reluctantly,' an un 'vented bitterness into my father'S jeclantiont of him. Sir Albany admitted that open sit- tiugs would be AD inaprovement in. his opinion also, but declared that, if the parishioners generally wore opposed to the. altekation, ho should opposo it too, as he thought tlae; had a right to be consulted. Of course Ins opposition !was final ;- the pews remained, and some which my father had caused, with too perceptible zeal, to be removed, he had to replace at lds own cost. Ife was very angry with Sir Albany, 12 fre owns himself they tr(-3 Wrong, and yet lie stands by them !" lie said to me every °Mille' at dinner foe at Iettet EXE' TER, ONTATUO, THURSDAY, IT'Or,s1. „IS, 874, eia weeks after tile melancholy 00eur. 110\0;as jast beginning to hope that the , subject would die out, when a new grieyance produeed a fresh exaepera- tioa. There wasain the church a cer. tain °la teblet to the memory of defunet Treleavens. . It displayed alien a back- ground of wilite marale the kheeliag Rams of Sir Anthony Treleaven aucl Cecilia his wife, attended by groups of their progenya-the SODS luieeling iii a gradually diminishing line behind their father, and the daughters bellied their mother, all on little black cushions, with ono large cushion between the two principal figures. Wonderful, proper- ties of healing and preserving flora evil spirits had been attributed to this mon- ument, and the consequeaces were that the heads of all these figures had been chipped off a,nd carried away ba 'the de- yeut, to the groat loss of the general ef- fect. ' Defeated. en the matter of the pews, my father wished at all eveate to have this absurd. ornament rouloved. He spoke about it to Sir Albahy, who ed- mitted, that, in its present mutilated eondition it was a most preposterous . affair -which. admiseion my fathee in- terpreted into a permissoin to have it tali= away, Sir Albany, however, Was no sooner informed of its reruoval thau he 'denied evor having intended to al- low it, and, getting rather Warm upon: the subject, assured any father that such hasty tearing down elf .monuments without consulting those -Meese 111Mo- ;lop they cemmemereted, gave a, fair pretext tetpeople for seybeg,-what many were saying, though most entrathfully, I knew -that the vicar's greenhouse was paved with the old tombstones he had teken from -the churchyard: 1 'My father took this as a repatition of the same scandalous and unfounded °ham, prayed that Sir Albany might be brouglit to a better mind, and in the meantime: kebab his children to walk any more m T.releavea park and gardensa--which,' under favor of the housekeeper, we had been iu the habit of doing daring Sir. Albany's absence abroad, and ever since his rehire whenever we knew that he had. gone to town or elsewhere for a few days. I Was sorry for this prohibition, as the loveliest walks and views in the neighborhood were to be fouad in the grounds of Tieleaven ; but I was Old enough to feel' that the quarrel between my father and Sir Albpaiy, whichever of them. mieht be wrung; math it neces- sary. But b Barbie to be forbidden to go to releeven was a terrible priaation. He had not only favoeite hamate in the park, where he woald lie for hours and watch the deer, but, having condes- cended to firm frieudships -with some of the juvenile menials about the place; he had, through their good offices been 01300 or twice admitted to a view of vari- ons works of ar contained 3vithin the t) hou qp. if.self. 211 la box 'inn a, .TMISSi nn for art, and, afte • a &apse 'of the pic- tures and statues at Treleaven, h.e would come home raving in a style that caused great bewilderment and even dismey to his poor father. " The boy will turn nut some wretch- ed travelling artist, painting miserable daubs for a pound apiece 1" he would exclaim, trembling for the success of his own views of his son, which des- tined him to the Church. For my part, I entertained no doubt that Beetle would be an artist of some kind Or other, and,•ao such, would com- mand success. His sketches, made carelessly on odd scraps of paper when he should. heve been learning .his les- sons, 'his horses and pigs and milk- maids, moulded oat of clay. oedoeigh, were truly wonkerfat " 'What sort of a sermon do you sup- pose he'll ever protect]: ?": 'my father would cry, desperately ; but I was wil- ling 'fillet Ile should fail in sermons to succeea and excel, as I foresaw he would, on canvas or 33.1 stone. Such, however, being his tastes, and his sole opportunity of feeding them being his occasional visits to Treleaven, it was a terrible blow to him to be for- bidden ever to go there again. Whe- ther he saw the reasonableness of the prohibition I cannot say, but he ana- thematised Sir Albany in DO measured terms, brought up the grievance on ev3ry possible occasion, and now to- day, hearing that certain 'eliciting -cases Containing works of art, which had lain at Treleaven, objects of : profoundest, most impatient curiosity to him, for months,. were; at Iast to be °pelted, he had pocketed his fear of Sir Albany and his reference to his father, and at once disobeyed the cominand.
