If thou art spoiling to be giving good advice, Jim, Steve is need- ing it badly ; and he'll happen tak' it better nor me." How wearily go the days when there is a: weight on them ! Eleanor was lovely and loving, and gave Crowther's life the sweet, womanly flavor he longed for ; but the joy of her presence was like the joy of forbidden pleasure or the sweetness of stolen frail. For three days Thirsk made no sign whatever. At the end of that time he sent a note to his: wife requesting her " to return home at her earliest convenience." •She replied " that her ' earliest convenience' would not occur within the following half century." Then he wrote to Crow- ther, expostulatory at first, then authori- tatively, demanding the return of his wife. Jonathan replied that Eleanor should do seemed best to her, but that if she chose to remain at Crowther Place he would never deny her the shelter of his home and love.. The correspondence grew. constantly more recriminatory ; then Thirsk called upon Jonathan, and the quarrel was so bitter between them that only Jim Boocoek'.e timely entrance prevented Crowther from taking the law into his own hands. After that it was open enmity ; and Crowther knew well - that he was ill- armed to fight an enemy at. once sorich and so bitter. For Thirsk was no ordin- ary man, and he showed it by the re- venge he took. The land upon which Crowther Mill stood had been bought from the Thirsk famiry The mill was on the shore of a narrow, deep stream, the water of which was necessary -to the working of the mill. All the land for a great distance upon this stream belong- ed to Thirsk. Within a week men had begun to dig the foundations for another mill higher up than Crowther's. Jona- than winced at the coming competition, but had nob, during the months it was in process of erection, any idea of what deeper wrong was to follow. Bat it was bad enough to see the°edi- fiee growing as rapidly as unstinted money and labor could produce it ; and it soon became an intolerable eye -sore to him. Thirsk did not, indeed, appear in the new enterprise ; a man from Halifax, called Sykes, was the nominal proprietor, but Crowther knew well whose power was behind him. Sykes, too, was a blustering fellow, whose man- ner was eapeoially offensive to Jonathan —a very Mordecai continually passing his mill gates. When the mill was completed it ,was filled with looms and machinery of the finest description, and then Thirsk's real motive appeared. One morning a large body of men -were observed at work upon the stream, and it was soon evident. that they were building a lock. Crowther Was natur- ally indignant. Sykes, quietly insolent, said, Their machinery would at times need more water than the ordinary run would afford ; and in thesecircumstan- ces they would be obliged to 'dock' the water for a supply." "That arraagement•would allow yon at any time td shut off my supply of water, and to virtually Stop my m111. You have no right to ' lockany mill stream," said Crowther, angrily,'' and I will appeal to the law to protect me." • " Certaiuly ; if the law orders me to remove bbs 'lock,' 1 will do so." But going to law was a remedy as bad. as the disease and Crowther was aware that it was just what Thirsk had been driving him to. Thirsk knew well that he had no right to build a lock' on the stream, and he knew the law would not sustain him iu such an act, but ail -the same, during the trial of the cas,, Crowther could be effectually and per- manently crippled. Months of terrible anxiety followed. Crowther, deprived of reliable watei• power, found himself very soon unable to fill orders with any degree of punctuality. The prosecution of his case took all his spam time and money ; he was going toward financial ruin at a frightful pace. Every small loses paved the way for a great one, and he foresaw that when his verdict was • gained he would be a ruined inan. At first the wickedinjustice of the - whole affair almost made him insane. He went aboat his mill like a baited wild beast. ; there were hours when even Jim Boocock kept out of his way. And he was not at this time always pleasant to Eleanor; certaiily,he never reproached her, but words are not the only forme of speech. His gloomy, haggard face, his restlessness and sileuce taught the young woman, better than any lecture could have done, some ad- mirable lessons regarding wilful sin and its consequences. The old home to which she had looked so fondly was a different place. She was no longer a bright, young girl, surrounded by lovers, and the heiress of Crowther. She was a deserted wifeii with an intangible shadow_on her name. Very few ladies called upon her ; any gentlemen she met treated her with constraint and evident disapproval. Crowther was compelled to retrench his household expenses, and Eleanor, fond of luxury, and especially fond of rich clothing, felt it no small sorrow to be compelled to fold over her -unhappy breast faded and shabby siIk. - Thirsk had disappeared from the scene of action, bat the work of revenge went steadily on. Jonathan had fore- •• seen rain from the moment his enemy's tactics developed themselves, and he was only fightiug now with that desper- ate, despairing pertinacity which makes soldiers hold a fort they know must finally be surrendered, or doctors fight a� cancer they are certain will, in the • end, destroy lite. One morning he rose in a singularly passive mood, feeling only the patient • grief of a submissive heart. Mr.Beecher haa. translated the passage, " He giveth• his beloved sleep," " He giveth his Be- loved in their sleep;" and surely, while Jonathan had been sleeping, some angel of consolation must have visited him. Softly as a chidden yet forgiven child, he arose and dressed himself, facing calmly, as he did so, the consequences of his rash, self-willed temper. For the firsttime it struck him consciously that others would suffer in his rain perhaps more than himself. ,How would Eleanor bear the limitations of actual poverty ? And Sarah, and all the " hands," to whom he had ever been a just and kind master? The - stopping of the mill would mean to most of them the break- ing up of their old liven, and of their homes, and a removal among strangers. These thoughts made him speak with his old tenderness tt he saw the to rs with happy srirpl The day was a the whole county with uiibroken rising up dark an like islands • m. some way it see his da>ighter, nd come into her r e' es se lat it. oOld winter day, nd P vl►i and spec ral. qw ;the far . bo see {ei defined front: it, p llbound sea..'
