"Very good, sir," waa Meade's last words. "If you take§ the bwoy, I goes 'to law," Thie clinched the matter; the Med- , • ways dreaded the publicity of a legal process beyond everything. As Mat- thew had represented, Philip was prac- ically at Sir Arthur's gates, he could watch him and make sure of his wel- fare. His adopted father pledgedhim- self to give him the best education, to be had in Cleeve and start him after- wards in a profession; when he failed in (lose conditions. Sir Arthur could step in. So the visit to Maxwell Court soon faded toa dim golden memory ip Philip's mind; he forgot Claude and Hugh's dekription of their school and sports,, and the glowing pictdre of the Eton life now to be Claude's, and the lad's congenial companionship. Every- thing .connected with them elept out of sight m his mind while the quiet years slipped by like a peacefpl dream, and Philip grew a tall, lanky lad, a sore puzzle to the miller now that the time was come for choosing a profession. As petrel the wishes of the youth did not chime with the counsels of riper age. The navy alone had charms for Philip; theahurch for his parents. A vision of the boy's merry face rising above a,black gown and white bands, in the oaken pulpit of Cleeve Church, haunted Mrs. Meade's mind with beati- fic persistence, while Mr. Meade felt it would be a grand thing to hear Philip read the burial service over him and perhaps preach his funeral sermon. Philip's only alternative proposition was the army.. The question was seri- duals, debated at a Christmas gather- ing at Stillbrooke Mill by a small lot of siders grouped, churchwarden in hand, round the fire in the common parlor labile the young people played games in the best parlor. "You may depend %mon it, Meade," observed cousin Jahe, an uninvited presence in the smoking parliament, you'll hey to pay for brInging the boy up above plain folk." "I've paid already, ma'am. for this year," replied Meade, "and got school- anester's receipt upon the file." Cousin Jane's husband's mouth went upwards at this observation. "You've a right to mock at your wife's relations at your own fireside, Mr Meade," she returned mournfully, "but mocking woe% undo the wrong you done my poor sister's child for the sake of a foundling and a castaway. - But it's none of my business. 'Y ou may raake the boy prime minister to -mor- row or all I should meddle. And let Jessie go}.barefoot. Not that she'll ever canto gssod, spoiled and muddled up ate she is. "Make eland agent of him, Meade," interposed Mr Plummer, Cousin Jane's husbandawith some 'baste, "Sir Ar - *hues agent's fine gentleman enough - air anybody, so's his wife." "A lawyer," observed Mr Cheeseman, the corn -dealer' and town councillor, a' is a gentleman by act of parliament. I'll warrant law's a flne business. It takes brains and it makes money." "Lawyers," added Mr Spires, the elockmaker, "have a finger in every- body's pie. Mr Westley has the town under his thumb." "You may say what you like," added Mr Plummer, whatever business a lawyer's in, the money sticks to en. - Whether it's drawing of a lease, or ran -sing of a morgige ; the sovereigns cleave to his fingers. Give a lawyer inoney to lay out and you're a lucky inan if you lives to see the half of it agen. Whoever fails, a lawyer's never broke. There's money in law, Meade." "Aye, hut think of the rascality, Plummer," sighed Mr Meade. , "To be sure," was the chorussed re- ply, "whoever heard of a honest law- yer r' "Miller's haven't always been reck- oned straight men," observed a hither- to silent smoker, Mr Reade, grocera,nd ehurch-warden. "What's that about the miller's thumb, Meade, eh ?" "Mr Reade must hey his joke," com- mented Martha, coming forward to see if people's glasses were properly filled, amid a chorus of chuckles over the jest. "I've beard say 'ts a fine thing to be a barrister," Mr Meade continued, "but meself, I can't see it. Before ever they earn so much money as a penny piece diey'ye got to eat dinners for year or two in a sort of church. And when they get a job 't is most a dirty one so far as I can make out. A barrister that gets a scoundrel off banging is a made man, they tell me, and run after by every villain in the land. Philip can est dinners at home, and the fewer scoundrels get let off the better. Doc - tering I've laid awake over many a night. But I shouldn't like the boy to live off other folk's ills. As for a cler- gyman, be won't so much as look at it," It does seem hard work to be a hottest man and a gentleman to be sure," commented Mrs Meade. "Many a time I've said to Meade, let, the child be plain and honest.' " "You may warrant," added her hus- band, "gentle or simple, 'tis a heavy thing to be honest and rich, whatever trade you take." A chorus of denials followed, for nearly all present were men of sub- atance and eaeh convinced of his own integrity, thoright doubtful of that of others. The end of this and many such con- ferences was that Philip found himself one fine morning perched upon a high stool in Mr Westley's office, an articled clerk. He came home at night. pale and silent; at the end of a month, a doctor had to be consulted. The doctor recommended air and exercise; which being taken speedily restored the pa- tient. Six weeks more in the office re- , duced Philip to the same low level. His release came; Mr Meade's purse was lightened, and there was Philip fres, and a standing problem once more. A period of 'idling followed, then Philip, ba,ving neatly set his dog's bro- ken login sphnts, suddenly took Wet o Isis head to be is doctor, remembering Children Cry tor beion1.1:115. As for Old Maule, as he called him, he soon found out that all his skill was built upon experience, and that he was as incapaple as he was un- willing to teach kiln. Many a headache did the po'or lad ket over Mr 'Maule's medical book, his bones and his instruments, the names of different bones and muscles refused to remain in hie head. the books were is hopeless flume without a clue, he be- ganto think that he had no' aptitude for the profession, and to crown all he had to be interrogated so perpetually in re- ceiving patients, taking their messages and mixing them medicines thatn� sooner had he succeeded in making himself acquainted with the carotid ar- tery or the thyroid cartilage than it re- port upon old MrRobinson's gout drove both cartilage and artery out of his mind. "Teach 1" the old doctor would say with a hearty oath, "how the devil am I to flpd time to cram your thick head? Nobody ever taught me; I picked up what I could in old Pestle's surgery, with the assistant and the other ap- prentice swearing at me and boxing my ears from morning till night, but ol— me I took care to pull through the ex- aminations. I wasn't cockered like you. Learn, you lazy dog, learn!" He was a kind old fellow, with it sort of bluff cordiality, and did not swear with his patients more than enough to give his discourse a pungent emphasis; he took care not to be the worse but ra- ther the better for his }powerful pota- tions when on duty, he was shrewed too and knew men, thus he was popu- lar, and when his patients died people said it was the will of God, and when they recovered (as they sometimes did) the skill of Dr. Maule. Suddenly, while Philip was musing over his pills, the surgery door opened violently and in stormed the old doc- tor, pouring out a broadside of oaths. Philip knew that he had been dining out and had not expected him to return for another hour or two. Having con- signed Philip 'piecemeal to perdition in company with his own soul, he sudden- ls, thrust a bottle into his face and ask- ed what he meant by that. "Mean, sir?" returned Philip," I sup- pose I meant it for cough mixture." Alas! it was a poisonous compound ihtended for outward use and clearly marked for inward .in Philip's hand- writing. "You murderous young dog!" shout- ed the doctor. " I'm not a dog," retorted Philip. "I have not made a beast of myself," he added with sarcasm. "What do you mean ?" cried the doctor with a thick utterance. "7 mean," cried Philip, suddenly and passionately, "that I am here to study medicine, and not, to be bullied and sworn at and made to do all your work." "Take that," roared thkdoctor, with i elnbellishmente,boxing hi ars, where- upon Philip seized him byt he collar and laid him flpt on the floor, in which position Dr. Maule's grown-up son en- tering, discovered them. "This is nice manly behaviour, Ran- dal," said young Maule, picking up his irate parent and placing him in it chair: and after much blustering on the old man's part, and vain attempts at peace- enalsieg onthestrianeee' Ja"hilip found him- self in the street, with the neforniation that his indentures would have to be cancelled and he need not return. So ended Philip's second professional career. n What's the good of a fellow like me?" he thought, marching defi- antly down the street and whistling savagely. He finished the evening with some fellows of his own age.not a very stea- dy set, and tried with loud merriment, jovial Bova and deep potations, to bury his chagrin. It was late when he bent his waver- ing steps homeward, wondering Why in the world the houses kept knocking up against him, and who was that vil- lain continually pushing him off the pavement,. To solve these problems, he leant against is lamp -post, mourn- fully wailing : " Why did my master sell rue Upon my wedding day ?" with his hat tipped over hiseye. Just at this moment who should come a- round the corner but his bete noire, the vicar, returning from Mrs. Carlyon's dinner party. "Come, Randal," said Mr. Bryan roughly, "what are you doing here? You are drunk. Get home directly" "Get home 'self," retorted Philip, thickly; " 'sgraceful time of night for parson." Waxy Bryan, as the street -boys call- ed their hot-tempered Irish pastor, in- stead of leaving the luckless boy to grow sober before going home, angrily pushed dim away from the laanp-post. Philip, to save himself, caught at him, the streets were slippery, with rain, and after a brief struggle the two fell full lengt h in each other's arms on the pave- ment, just as a policeman sauntered around the corner. Mr Bryan was soon on his feet and promptly gave Philip into custody for knocking him down, and the unhappy boy finished the night at the police sta- tion. What a waking was his next morn- ing! Racking headache, sickness, bod- ily depression, and heavy shame. The brawl had not been without wit- nesses, and when Mr Bryan woke in the _morning with a cool head and re- membered that he had in sober truth committed the assault, vindictive as he was, he considered it better not to pro- secute Philip. He therefore repaired to the station early and withdrew his charge. Philip, haggard and dishevelled, with the disreputable air that always clings to people who have passed the night in their clothes, took refuge in a small public -house, feeling that he cauld not go home yet, and sat down to write home. His dizzy throbbing head weigh- ed upon his hands as he sat with el- bows on the table and tried to find words fit for his narrative. An hour went by and he had not got beyond " dear father," he heard loungers at the bar discussing "this here Rodshian job ;"the smart, qii ick music of fife and drum called all to doors, and windows, and street corners. Even Philip raised his heavy head and looked up to see a reel uiting-party with streaming rib- bons step briskly past to the tune of "Come cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer I" The whole thing was hispiriting to Pitcher's Ongtorim.

Theugh aliard drinker heaves seldom as overcome as on thesorecedingnighta he greatly re- gretted the affair with Philip in the surgery, which be related to Mr Meade with Impartial accuracy. "He worst do for physic, Meade," he said; "be's lazy and won't bear the curb. Put, him to hard out -door work." But the doctor could not tell where the boy Was, and Mr Meade returned disconsolately homeward, on his way meeting 1VIr Bryan, whose sccount of the preceding night's adventure was acrid and disquieting. " I always said that boy would come to no good,' the vicar added, consoling- ly, " he is one of the wildest young fel- lows in the parish. You give him too much liberty, Mr Meade." 'As well hang a dog at once as give him a bad name," cried the miller, in- dignantly, "you was always hard on my poor boy, sir. I'd sooner be a poor black heathen than your sort of Chris- tian." Then he met Mr Ingleby, the curate, a good-hearted young fellow, who had often done the lad a kind turn, and to whom Philip had just gone with his confession, desiring him to communi- cate all to his father. It was a heavy blow to Matthew and Martha, whose first thought was to buy Philip out at once; but Matthew Meade was not a man to do anything in a hur- ry. He considered the subject well first, and finally Mr. Ingleby's advice, coupled with Philip's own earnest sup- plications and urgent reasonings, toge- ther with Mr Maule's report upon the lad's capacities, induced Mr Mead 4 to yield a reluctant consent to his prodi- gal's remaining in the ranks. Mr Ingle- by had taken an interest in the boy for years, and his verdict was that he suf- fered from being educated above his surroundings, and would infinitely pro- fit from the discipline in the ranks. He also undertook to interest his brother, a captain in the same regiment, in the new recruit. So it came to pass shortly after that Philip, looking, as littleJessie thought, very smart and handsome in his infan- try uniform, and feeling very gay and hopeful, marched with his regiment on board a troop -ship bound for the East, amid the thunder of a vast crowd's cheers, the weeping of women and children, and a thousand piteous little farewell scenes. Matthew Meade, with Martha and Jessie, now a pretty playful girl of twelve, with deep blue eyes and hair of woven sunbeams, stood amid the crowd to watch the embarkation and wave Philip a last farewell, with deep- ly moved hearts. It was indeed a moving scene, calling a complexity of -the deepest feelings in- to play, one which few Englishmen copal(' wit ness without strong thrills of patriotic pride and fear and hope, and few human beings without the stirring of tenderest sympathies. The greet ships lay like giants at rest on the blue waters, the beautiful winged wooden warships looking like living creatures, and_ thesgreet, troop -ships; the shore was lined and -covered'at, every coign of vantage with human beings all mo- ved by one. vast cominon interest, all more or less sorrowful ; for as regiment after regiment marched by with firm, even step the spectators could not but remember the certainty that many of those fine men would return again no more. On that late winter day the jus- tice or injustice of the impending, but as yet undeclared war with Russia was forgotten; for as cheer after cheer thundered along the shore and echoed back from wall, bastion and church tower, and was taken up and repeated from ship to ship, and from rank to rank of that moving mass of armed men and broken by the gay defiance of the martial music, those present could only rememberthat they were English- men, animated by one hope, stimulated to one common duty, citizens of a great nation with centuries of honor and a- chievement behind her, and the dim splendor of a great future before her, and that the honor of England would perhaps soon be at stake. And so the war passion took them ; for the English are, as every truly great nation must be, a martiaispeople; they do not rush into war with a light heart, or, knowingly, for an unjust cause; the waste, the agony, the pity of it appals them; for they are too brave not to be humane ; but once con- vinced that it is their duty to fight, they fight heroically, silently, patient- ly, with an unquestioning discipline unknown to other nations. And after all is not that magnificent terror, war, the school of heroism and self-sacrifice, the purge of covetousness the cementer of friendship and patriot- isra, the curb of cruelty and nurse rf pity, and does it not foster kindness and mutual adtuiration between na- tions even as the sea unites the land it seems to divide? At least, so thought Philip Randal. As for little Jessie Meade, she cried to her heart's content, not so much be- cause Philip was going away, a,s be- cause the vast enthusiasm of -the crowd and the stir and color of the scene up- set her nerves and woke dim and inex- plicable feelings of grandeur and glory within her. "Oh, mother," she cried, "look I The big soldier and the white kitten!" And there, distinct against the soldier's red tunic and undisturbed by the music and martial tumult, a tiny white kitten rode gravely to the war on her master's shoulder. n front of the kitten march- ed a little boy -soldier, crying bitterly at leaymg his mother, but beating his drum manfully all the time. "If Philip were only it horse -soldier like Mr Medway 1" said Jessie, her quick eye singling Claude out from some picturesque hussars. This fine young officer was one of the immortal Six Hundred who were destined to eo- ver themselves so soon with glory. "1 wear I'd bought the lad a come mission 1" Mr Meade said, turning away to go homeward. "-If only the dear child comes back safe and sound!

P7440S4 The war cloud had buret in tempest and raged itself to stilbaess ; England breathed freely once more, For two weary years voices of humiliation and exultatiou, of indignation and mourn- ing, of sorrow and pride filled the land. There were vacant places at many a pleasant hearth, desolate booms, fath- erless children, age bereaved and strong youth hopelessly crippled, but there was peace at last. The sword of Eng- land, the army, had been tested and found wanting; the material was excel- lent, but the organization vile, and what avails a sword of finest temper without a skilled hand to wield it? Yet this splendid sword reaped laurels. When the daffodils of 1850 shot up in graceful battalions by warbling streams in low-lying meadows, wer- come rumors of peace floated through the land and mingled with the breath of opening violet and the sweet prom- ise of the young primroses; gi adually they grew to certainty, and the MUSIC of joy -bells pealing from countless steeples, and the roar of cannon pro- claiming the peace blended 'with the innumerable wild bird -songs of the springing year. 'rhe first swallows came about Still- brooke Mill bearing this gentle mes- sage on their wings. Mrs Meade shed tears of joyon hearing the news one bright morning,. then instantly began to make grand household preparations for Philip's reception. Mr Meade went out into the garden, where everything seemed to be putting forth its strength and beauty to welcome the returning exile. He went to stick a row of young peas with a slow smile deepening the numerous wrinkles about his mouth, while Jessie flitted about the sunny garden, tangling the sunbeams in her flowing hair, gathering spring flowers and singing patriotic songs in her bird -like voice. "Phil 'II never know the little maid, she's shot up that tall and slim," be thought. Looking back on those two years of wearing anxiety, the Meades wonder- ed bow they had ever lived through them, much less gone about their daily occupations as usual, News did not travel so rapidly then as now; war correspondeats then only began to be; papers were fewer, dear- er, and less accurate and wen -informed than now, rumors from private sources circulated vaguely and inaccurately. It was terrible to the Meades to hear of Alma, and then wait in long suspense ignorant of Philip's fate, the more so as Mr Inglebv's brother fell in that ac- tion, and his name was duly reported with so many nameless rank and file of his and of Philip's regiment among the killed.Balaclava and Inkernaanbrought the same sickening doubt, and the Meades wrote letters which ghastly in the light of that uncertaihty to one who might be lying dead on those battle- fields. The wound which Philip received at Inkerruan, and his subsequent hospital troubles left them longer in doubt ; but once satisfied that he was recovering, the winter hardships did not cause them so much anxiety, especially as the accounts of those hardships were to a certain extent discredited in Eng- -land, and Philip. made light of them, in his letters, so that by the time the summer came his parents were suffi- ciently case-hardened to think of other things than the war, and were dispos- ed rather to under -rate the perils and privations of the long siege of Sebasto- pol. When the oaks were exchanging their tints of dull crimson, russet, and warm gold for the pure, fresh, pale green of full leafage at the meeting of May and June, the whole people re- joiced in the peace, the country echoed with clashing bells and booming guns; the larger towns blazed at night with such illuminations as the limited re- sources of those bygone days permitted and even the sober burgesses of Cleeve filled their windows with candles, lit bonfires and otherwise recklessly com- ported themselves. "Matt Meade's doing it handsome," said a portly citizen at shut of eve, on the feast day, as he passed the mill with conmanion. "And he came down smartly for the town decorations. He's reckoned a warm man, is Matt, though they do say he's dipped pretty heavy in mines and other speculations." "Not he. You may warrant Matt Meade know's what he's about," re- turned Mr Cheeseman, now an alder- man. "You'll have to get up early to catch him asleep. He's warmer than anybody knows. Scrapes and hordes for young scapegrace. 'Ter rough on the girl, but she'll be a catch by and by after all, trust me if she isn't."
