He could almost feel the little face nestling closer to him as the shy words were eiaded, and clearly could he could recall the terrible pang which that faltering childish sentence had caused him. He had then believed lie was under a great delusion, now he inclined to think her pure soul had grasped a great truth which still remained to him unknowable. This was almost all that he bad actually beard liereay, t Donovan only knew one poem except the last litlf unconscious in the world, however, and be ask - prayer, the speech of a little child ed to hear this ono.

She had never fallen into conventional religious phraseology; but perhaps nothing could have so exactly met' Donovan's wants that summer after- noon as her last perfectly peaceful words: 'He is so very good, you know—you will know.' No argu- ment, however subtle, no sermon, however eloquent, had- the hope - giving power which lay in the little child's words—words which had lain dormant in his heart for years apparently with no effect whatever. Charles Osruond saw that his reference had awakened a long train of thought; be would not look at the changes on the face of his com- panion, foe just now in its natural- ness it was exceedingly like a book, and a book which he felt it hardly fair to read. Instead he gazed actoss the quiet little lake to the sunny landecape beyond, battled with it conceited thought which had arisen'. ithin him, and was ready with his beautiful, honest mind and hearty sympathy to corne back to gradual advara:e, tla‘n a sudden Donovan's stand point as soon as he unfolding.

There was something perfectly in- desciibable in the sense of breadth and height and beauty combined; in their different ways the two pedestrians reveled in it. The creases seemed to smooth themsel- ves out of Charles Osmond's brow; he lost the weight of care which the long year's work broaght, not always to be shaken off in the summer holiday. But here it was impossible to be earth bound; his whole being was echoing the words "Are not tfiese, oh the soul, the vision of Him who reigns?" the kaniu time he has dotie us a I might use with young cbtldren, the great serviee, and tee false deduc- , very truths that recent researches tions of a trescher can not spoil or have wonderfully enlarged upon. alter the ti'llth of hta system.

Man was now fully eaves fully awake; the spirit had slept, had dreamed, but the revelation was made, and his dormant spirit sprung into life.' 'But 1 am not conscious of this spirit,' said Donovan. an aware of nothing that cau not be explain- ed as a function of the brain, thought, mince will.' 'Yet you are conscious of being incomplete,' said Charles Osmond. .P.; seems to ne. that for a time we get un very well as body and soul men, or body and mind, if you like it better; but sooner or latercomes the craving for something higher, which something, Irteke it, is the spirit life. And one thing more, if you will let me say it, you tell me you are conscious of nothing but 'slimly and mind; but I cannot help thinking that your love for that little sister whom you men- tioned ts me was the purest spirit- ual love, to which no scientific theory will apply.' For many minutes Donovan did not speak, not Lecause he was actu- ally thinking of his companion's words, but because a vision of the past was with hitn; little Dot, in her purity, her child -like trust, her clinging devotion, rose once more before hen. How had she learned hundred and odd sects. .Do y ou n consider that spoutaoous tion is is alieady moved?' 'No,' said Donovan; 'but quite suilicientl y for work ing ptumoses, and in time I dare say it will :m completely proved. What will then become of the Authoe of the 1111i LO adopt the current phrase?' 'If it should be provid, as I fully expect it will by,' replied Charles Osmond, 'it will merely carry us one we') further Laek in our appro- ciation of the eigthial Willpower.

Donovan left off twisting the grasses which grew beside him, and knitted his brows in thought.

You Charles Osmond did not venture to know them, I suppose?' speak to him; in perfect silence the two stood watching the setting sun, which was now like a golden red globe on the horizon line. Many hundreds of times had the sun gone down on Donovan's wrath, and this 'You see,' be said, after after it evening proved no exception to the pause, 'it is this, High Pantheism rule. By the time the last red rim which leads us up to' the greatest had disappeared, however all treces heights.

'Certainly, if we are to eat the captain's trout for supper,' said Charles Osmond.

'What did you see?' asked Donee van, a little amused. 'I saw a perfect example of the way in which a nineteenth century gentleman hates his enemy—the hatred of the ancients kept in check by the power of modern civilization.' 'And how would you have had me meet hitn?' cried Donovan. 'Did you expect a stage reconciliation, while he is still defrauding we 1— Did you wish we to embrace him and wish him good speed?'

'You see, in copying Him whew I consider to be more than a moral man, we do not realize our own shortcomings,' said Charles Osmond. 'Well, what do you imagine Christ would have done in such a case?' 'I think you can answer that question for yourself,' said Charles Osmond. 'But to put it on what to me is a lower footing, consider how the best man you ever knew would have acted, and then carry his conduct still further. Your father, fo: instance—how would he have treated an enemy?' Unconsciously Charles Osmond had touched on Donovan's tender part.

'I am. afraid up there on the moun- tain I have fallen when I might have risen.' 'I dare say you will have another ooportunity given yon,' said Cherles Osmond, by way of consolation. 'Don't in too great a hurry,' said Donovan, smiling. 'I'm afraid can't honestly wish for it yet.' TO 135 CONTINUED. -de e.
