"For many Imperative reasons, Mr.
O'Leary; a few of winch wil answer
your question. ln the first place, it
was really no part of my duty to in.
form you. In the seeing place had you
known to whom you were indebted for
your prosperity, acrimoniously embitter.
ed as yoo then were Against the man,
you would have hurled his proffered as-
sistrince back in hia 'face, and flung your-
self off to ruin, rather than have owed
emcees to Daniel Router! To disabuse
you of your false and acrid prejudice
was impossible; because, Mr. Menne
yea arc a young gentleman who will not
be taught by anything except your own
experience, if by that; therefore, by the
slow process of experience had you to
learn the inestimable worth of Daniel
Hunter. And you had to follow closely
and critically hie course through the last
two years of his very trying public life
before you could understand aud .appre.
elate his cheraeter, principles aid mot-
ives of action. Gradually your .mind
has been enlightened, and you have
been prepared to receive the communi-
cation I have made you, Now`you have

the whole truth."
Falconer sat with his face buried lu
his bands a prey to the fiercest and
most aneagonistic emotions -joy, sor-
row, love, remorse, exultation, all striv-
ing for the mastery in his. bogom. The
predominant feeling was, perhaps, an
iutenae longing, a wild desire, an al -
mast irresietible impulse to fly directly
to Maud, and cast himself at her feet.
But that could not be, he knew. There
was slime and a pause, broken at last
by Falconer, who erase and held out hie
hand to his old friend. The major took
if, and pressing it kindly, said:
"Go Pow and take a •stroll in the ope»
air among the old ruins, my boy. It is .
just the thing that will soothe and -calm
that toyibly agitated heart of your's."

reader, if you will have patience).
And then to her father. This was a
far more dificult task, though he wrote
a shorter letter. He filled and destroyed
many sheets of' paper before his heart
was sufficiently calm, his head suffi-
ciently clear, to feel and know precisely
what he wished and what he ought to
write. At length he finished a letter,
truthful, manly, dignified, full of noble
candor and generous acknowledgmeets
-worthy himself to offer and Mr. Hun-
ter to receive. Ie this he inclosed Maud's
letter, and dispetchen them by the iirst

that rashness, impatiene, imptuosity, had
been the begetting sios and feundering
make of hie life, and lie determined to
govern them, He refereed to stay in
Rome, to devote himself to his ait, to
prove himself worthy of Mr. 'Hunter's
estem and Maud's affection. First of all
he went to work, and petiently remodel-
ed his Virginius, retaining all the pe-
culiarly sweet and holy beauty of the 'fe-
male figure, and investing tlie form and
face of the Roman father with en almost
godlike glory, which it had not worn be-
fore. No one could now jestly complain
that the prineipal figure ef • the group
was slighted. He worked away with the
greatest enthusehism, for well be guessed

'Morning interrupted by the major, who
entered, smiling, and holding in his hand
two letters that had arrived among the
dispatches 'from the United States, re-
ceived the evening before,
"One of them," said he, "is from Mr.
Hunter, and appears, by the date of the
postmark, to have been delayed upon
its way," and handed them to the young
man; and, bidding him good -day, left
him to their perusal. Falconer tore open
Daniel Hunter's letter, and out of it
dropred another, superscribed in a lady's
hand -not Maud's, oh, that he saw im-
mediately io one eager glance. It was,
in fact, the letter that had been written
by Honoria, at the seggeStieo (if Mrs.
Hunter, a ahort time previous to the
marriage of the former.
Mr. Hunter's letter was a friendly,
busir eslike communieation, giving a
concise histoty of his adoption of Hon-
oria, and introducing to her brother that
young lady's letteg which was a toler-
ably affectiogate idia sisterly affair, ex-
pressing her desire to b.ecome better ac-
quainted with bite, inferming him of
her approaehing noirriage, and ineiting
him in her on end her husband's name,

around you with the greatest possible
encouragement, giving more ordere than
you could possibly execute. Was there
ever such good luck heard of in all the
annuls of art? Or was it an every -day
affair, think you, for a youthful artist
to receive such eneouragement as that?
But, oh! doubtless you ascribed it all to
the transcendent power of your own
genius, and instead of being grateful,
grew vain -glorious.'

defence? Sir, .1 have not one word to

-I don't mean to. Well, after your de-

spairing, you were lurking about the
Summit, you were sought for and invited

''Oh, sir! you really should. take a doc-

chair, saying: "Go on, sir! go on, sir!

"l'm going to. 1 haven't half done yet.
Don't be afraid. Well, when fairly re-

youthful genius? And do you never
wonder at your own blessed exemption
from them? And in the name of reason,

occur to you that under Divine Provi-
dence, there was some unseen unknown,
beneficent influence smoothing your
path, guiding your steps, ordering your

ut People. The healed man carrying his
bed on the Sabbath day would call at-
tention to the miracle and cause it to be)
gdnerally known." ---Clarke. It is alwaya
right to do good on the Sabbath day.
12. They asked him who the man Was
that ban told him to carry his hed on
the Sabbath, "They ignore the miracle
and attack the coininand. They ask not,
,Who cured thee, and therefore must
have divine authority?' but, 'Who told
thee to break the Sabbath, and there-
fore mid. not have itl'"-Cam
They carat not for knowing what they
might admire as a work of mercy, hut
what they might make the ground of an
accusation. How many are like them,
always looking out for winetbing with
which to find fault,-Ityfe. 13, But as
Jesus had been in Jerusalem but little,
the man who was healed did not know
him, and Jeans now had disappeared in
the crowd. 14. Soon after this Jesus
found the man in the ternple and said to
him, "Sin no more." This wall not an
accidental meeting; Jesus had his eye
on the man, his work' with him was
not yet finished. God makes this same
demand of every sinner. And.yet there
are those who insist that it le impossible
to live without sin in this life; but if
such is the ease then Jesus asked this
man to do tile impossible. Unless he
ceased his sinning a worse thing would
come upon hint. "More sinning after this
warning would deserve greeter punish-
ment (see Hob, 0: 4-6); and after se
long a ccurse of sin, a repetition of the
sins would naturally produce greater
evils than any he had yet experienced.
15. After this the man told the Jews
that it was jesus who had made him
whole. "He expected, probably, in the
shnplicity of his heart, thet the name
of him whom so many counted as a pro-
phet, if not as the Messiah himself,
would have been sufficient to stop the
leoutlis of gainsayers. Had it been M
baser spirit that he went, as Chryaostom
ingeniously observes, he would not have
gone and told them that it was Jesus
who had made him whole, but rather it
was jeans who had bidden him. carry hie
bed."-Treneb. "He meant his statement
for a justification of Jesus; they used
it for his persecnelan." 16. Then the
Jews sought to kill eeetie beeause he had
done those things on the Sabbath daY,
17, 18. The discourse which follows (vs,
17-4a) is believed to have been delivered
before the Sanhedrin. Luther calls this
"a zublime apology which makes the
matter worse. Jesus refers to God as
his Father, and. this angers the Jews still
more.

Faith is the way of men's approach.
to God; the link uniting the human and
the divine. Unbelief shut man out of
Eden. Faith brings men back to union
with God. A solvent bank ballot* every

to your faith," is a true, unfailing ax -
"Wilt thou be made whole?" (v. 6).
This question is put -to a poor paraly-
tic, waiting by the troubled waters at
the pool of Bethesda. It was probably'
the time of the feast of Pueim, a feast
celebrated by works of beneficenee and
graciows gifUe Christ entered into the
spirit of the fetust. He, who needed no
solicitations to excite bie sympathy, of-
fered to the despairing, diseased man, one
of life's best gifte-perfeet health. Had
the men doubted or hesitated, had he
said, "I do not know why you should
be intereeted in me;" "I have no light
to expeet you to do this far men "I
have done nothing which should give me
a claim on you, the Saviour could not
have bestowed upon him the boon of
health. All physical healing is a type of
the spiritual. Sin and sickness are twin -
born. Chriet died to atone for both. He
said to those suffering from sin, "Wilt
tbon be made whole?"
"I have no men when the water is
troubled to put me Mai the pool" (v.
7.) All earthly leepe was gope. Only tlie
divine Son of man could help tads hope-
