She did iwish to see him egain ; and it was on (the following morning of that very Sablbath evening, in the month of July, 'ellen herr father set forth to visit her, as already iinentioned, that she intended to do so. Mr. Lloyd was desirous of seeing his daughter, not only to prepare her, by his conversation, for the melancholy task of taking, in ail probability, a last farewell of one who, el -laminae and ehueliehl as he was, was still her hus- band, -but also to arrange with her the time andmanner of proceeding to Monmouth the next merning, whither he intended aceompanying her himself He found. her weeping over her • last born, which lay asleep ire her lap. He aid) not chide her tears, for they were the natural 'Marine's of her grief ; but in his twofold: character of her spirit nal and, paternal inonitor, he applied henself to assuage the sorrow which was their fruitful source. , And be hatli the consolation to observe, ere he departed, that Hester was so far tran- quil and resigned, • as to discourse calmly upon her approaching inter- view, with David. In this frame of mind. he left her, and, in this frame of mind he found her the following morning, when, at the early haus of five, she met him as' had been agreed upon, at the foot of the gentle ascent that rises abruptly from the site of the pic.- turesq•ue ruins of Tintern !Abbey. She had: ear infant in her arms, and was aceosnpanie,d by a neighbor'e daughter, a hale buxom svench about fifteen, who kindly offered to go with her, and help to carry the claild, a labor for wlaich the still impaired health and delicate frame of Hester was hardly suffizient. They set forth, Hester leaning for support upon +her father, riving, at his suggestion, transferred sleepting baby to the care •of her young companion.

Hester felt all the benign influence fi this coneolatien tram without ; and hen they arrested in Monmouth, she xpressed an eager desire to go at Jam to the prison, anxious to have the Ll betnefit of her composed and re- nts:elated. feelings, in the interview nth her husband..

Ill usage may destroy all the finer sympathies which hallow those relations in a wo- man's gentle and affectionate nature: but it is death alonee-or its equiva- lent, eternal separation in this world, -that ca.n make, hex feel she has no longer a husband, and her children no longer a father. And when that feel- ing does come, it will wring the bosom with a sorrow unlike any otber. Hester returned. to ler father's bouse that day, and remained there tbence- forwarctewitila her two children. The cottage which she had. bccupied since hex marriage was given up; and the produce of the little furniture it con- tained, when sold, her husband's cred- itor's: allowed, her to keep, out of res- pect, for herself, and pity for her mis- fortunes. It was an additional bur- den which Mr. Lloyd was ill able to bear; but his trust was in Him whose cerramand it is that we should succour the distressed, protect the fatherless, and do all manner of good. In the bosom' of her family, in the discharge. of her maternal duties, in the occupa- tion afforded her by superintending the education of the daughters of some of her neighbors, Which enabled_ her to meet many of her bwn personal ex- penses without drawing upon her fath- er's slender means, and in the peace- ful retreat of the valley of Tintern, her snind gradually recovered much of its former tranquility. A more pleasing former trangillity. A. more pleasing retreat could not easily be found. "The woode and glades intermixed, '- to adopt the language of one who has been prounced an oracle in all that concerns the picturesque, -"the wind- ing of the river, -the variety of the ground. -the splendid ruin, contrasted with the objects of nature, and the elegant line formed by the summits of the hills- whieb includes the whole make altogether a very enehanting piece of scenery. Everything around breathes an air so calm"and tranquil, so sequestered from the wren:wrote of life that it is easy to conceive amen of warm imagination, in monkish times, might have been allured by - such a scene, to become an inhabitant of it." In sucb a scene did Edmund, the son of David Morgan, pass his youth; and had he lived in "monkish times," by sueh a scree would his warm imagina- tion have been ellured, and he himself have becoro.e a mouk of hely Tintern, It was his supreme delight, while yet boyoto wander the live -long day amid the wild ani craggy steeps, the tangl- ed thickets, the solitary glens, and the variouely wooded slopes, of that mag- nificent amphitheatre, laid out by the hand of nature. It was no less his de- light to linger round the ruins of the venerable abbey as the shadows of evening descended upon them, or where the pale moon partially illuminated their grey walls or streamed in trem- bling radiance tbrough the ivy -wreath- ed Windows. •A& such moments, his imagination would carry him back to tbe period when it was the abode of living piety; when the vesper hymn pealed alang its 'Go -twine; cloisters; and when all the pomp and solemnity of a raligion which inflemed the mind by the seduction of the senses, reign- ed in sacred grandeur beneath its roof.

It was Edmund's good fortune to attract the notiee of Squire Jone in the way described; and it was not long after teat he paid a visit to Mr Lloyd, for the expres,s purpose of ask ing a few queskions about hint. Tee good old raan spoke with pride and af faction of his pupil and grandson, but with despondency of his future pros- pects. "I have reared hiira as my own,' said he," "from his cradle, ens/. I should close my eyes in peace, if.

"Send for the boy. But never mind, just now. You know in whet soil he will be most likely to thrive. I shall call again to By • that time make your choice, and leave tire test to me." The morrow came -the choice was made - and Edmund wasi to study for the Church, at Oxford, the great ambition of his ybuthful mind, upon an ample allowance secured to him by Squere Jones, in such a way as Saothing but his own misconduet could forfeit, If Edmund was the pride of his grandfather, he was no less the idol of his mother, who would sometimes think that Heaven had bestowed such a treasure upon her in compensation for what it had taken away. Perhape her love for Edmund was somewhat heightened, by the circumstance that she had lost her first child when only Lour years old, and he had. become, therefore, her only, one; but, in truth, his own affectionate disposition, his in- genuousness of •character, and his in- tellectual endowments, were of them- selves sufficient passports to all the love of a fond mother heart. And Hester was a fond mother, though not a weak one. She looked forward with dejected feelings to ithe now approach- ing moment of her first separatio from laer dear boy; but she was too gratefully conscious of the benefit he was to derive from that separation to repine at it. - There had always been one subject, which, whenever it oceupied the thoughts of Hester, was most painful and distressing to her. t was the mystery of Edmunds birth. She could not tell him his father was a convict, and she had Do reason to believe any one else had done o. She could not even tell him. that he lived; for free:. the moment of his leaving Monmoutb prison, down to that of which we are now speaking no tidings of him had reached her. Neither. he nor old Mor- gan had written i single line to any relative or friend they had left behind. All she ever learned concerning him was, that he had arrived safely at New South Wales. Ed,mund, where a child, wouldoften talk a his father, merely because the word was constantly up- 00the lips of his playmates, and be- ause he saw they had fathers. 'But as he grew bider, and began to reflect, a thousand little circunastances pre- sented themselves to his spied, which convinced him there was some mystery, though he knew' not what, that hung over his infancy. Once, and ° only once, he asked jaiS nether, "Who is my father ? And where is he?" But the silent agitation of Hester, for she could not answer hira, sealed his lips upon. Chat subject ever afterwards. Edeaufid was in his sixteenth year when he went to the University, and he remeined there, with the.u ual visits at home dairies, the vacations., till he was one-and-tsventy. The progress he made in his etudies, and the character he bore for strict propriety of conduct, well juetified the /munificent liberality of his patron. Bare he was denied one gratifica.tien, that a gladdening his grandfather s pride in, him by the dis- play of his scholastic attainments. The good old man, full of years and ripe in virtue, had breathed his last, from the gradual decay of nature, rather than from the inroads of climase, not long after he had seen the wish nearest bis heart realised. Es/mune' was with him when he died, and he followed him to the grave with feelings which ern - piratically told him, how he could have oved and how mourned -a father 1 By the interest of his benefactor', who, the more he saw, and the more he knew of Ecinaunci, forme /what had originally borne the stamp of a brnevoleat whim merely, gradually assuming the batter quality ot a peemanent desire to be- riend him, 'the enemy of Tinteen was 'eeerved for his !benefit, when he hould be duly qualified, by ordina- Mire. to assume ita pastoral functions. notions. the place of Mr. Lloyd was upplied by a neighbouring clergy- man, to whore. the fatigues of double uty were siweetened by something be - end the allotted stiporid, out of the urse of Sgeire Jones.

TIQUETTE OF, MOURNING. raany of the details of social and rmal life we follow the usages of our English sisters, and in the matter of mourning our customs are almost iden- tical with theirs. Of course, no one can -lay down an absolute rule as to the length of time one will wear crape or full black. Health and climate have much to do with that, and the advice of friends and physicians often materially shortens it or makes the somber robes much less the reminder of our loss than street observance of custom would have it. The heaviest mourning worn is the widow's. It remains practically un- altered for a year and a day, and then she can give up crepe, but as a rule women wear it six months longer. A daughter, in honor of a parent d,ead, wears deep crepe for the first three months, lessened crepe for the next three, full black for the remain- ing year. A sister's mourning for a brother or sister is, crepe for three raonths, plain black for two et:tenths andhalf mourn- ing for one month. IA Mother's mourning for a son or daughter is about a year, that period differently divided according to per- sonal inclination. The Queen says, Deep crepe three months, slightly less six months, blade tor three months," but the Lady has it "Crepe for six months, black for three months, half' inourang for three months." A iad,ece's mourning for an unole or aunt is black for two months, half mourning for one months and in these points all English authorities agree. The •granddaughter's mourning for a grandparent is widely discussed, the Lady's Pictorial deciding that the per- iod, of mourning dress shall be nine months -that is, orepe for three, black without crepe three, and half mourning three months. The Queen advises crepe for three months as sufficient. Wearing mourning for a cousin is rarely seen here, but where there has been an unusual affection the English of black for three months is quite in good form, and excuses you from social life in which you may take little in- tereat, The Queen, voeoing the senti- ment of English people, declares, "You should wear mourning for your hus- band's relations, as for your own."

The Peaace Congress has done some- thing to render warfare more humane and less barbarous than it has been It has also provided in the permanent arbitration tribunal a great instru- extent for securing peace among nations. Much bas been Jeft undone. Militar- ism has been allowed to triumph. Armaments have not been reduced on land or sea. Wail taxation in time of peace rentaini the theory and practice of Europe. Private property, either under a neutral_ or a hostile flag, has not been exempted from seizure in war- time, and many other reforms in the relateans of nations have been put aside. The Peace Congress has not complet- ed the work of ci-vilization, and the naillennium of peme and good -will on earth is still a long way ahead, but they are nearer than they were. The Parliament of Man at The Hague has done muck to promote the welfare of the world. While the arbitration .scheme recom- mended and adopted (by the Peace Congress is not perfect, it is designed to meet almost every question that is likely to arise between nations, and supplies a. practical roethod of avert- ing war by peaceful and honorable means. It also provides special re- sources of mediation when. nations are on the verge of hostilities. No gov- ernment will be compelled to abide by the decisions of the arbitration tribu- nal, but the moral forces of civiliza- tion are behind it. • Europe remains a circle of barracks and garrisons. The ogre of militar- ism, in full armee and with spiked helmet, is still a comnaanding figure in the Europe of to -day; yet it is true, that in consequence of the work of the Peace Congress, the nations stand an less dread' of the spectre of war, and have a large, faith in the resources of peace_ It cannot be the same su.spiei- ous, jealous and, resentful world when a great ;council representing all Chriseendoin has sanctioned a reason- able and practical method of averting war.

But They Turned Out to Be No litecom mendation After .A.B. • A somewhat vexations law in China compels every doctor, after dark, to hang up in front of his house as many lighted lamps as he has sent pa.tieets into the next world. One evening European, who was staying in Peking on bu.siness, set out in search of a doctor for his wife, who had been sud- denly taken ill. He called at the houses of a good many, but was deter- red by the laxge number of lamps ex- hibited before each. At length, after tramping about for several hours, he came to the house of it doctor where only three lamps shed a melancholy light over the entrance. Our happy European clashed into the house of this excellent man, wakened him, and took him off to his 'edgings. , • "I presume you are the best practi- tioner in this city?" he said to hie com- panion as they went along. "What makes you think so?" "Because you have only three len- terns hung over your door, while all your colleagues have dozens displayed. on their house fronts." "Ahl is that the reason?" calmly re- plied the pig -tailed Celestial The fact is, I only lately set up in prac- tice, and have had hut three patients." "FAMOUS CHAIRS.
