Aim at that which is good, cleave to that which is good, occupy your time with that which is good, fill your thoughts with thee which is good, and the assaults of evil will have 'lost half their power. An earnest employment, a steady pur- pose in life, a diligent use of time— these are an irresietable panoply against vice; these strike out of the devil's hands his worst implements of temptation. You will remember that terrible truth in one of the Lord's sternest parables, about the evil spirire re- turning to the house whence he came out, and finding it "empty, ewept, and garnished; then goeth he and taketh with himself seven other spir- its more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there, and the last state of that man. is worse - than the first." What does that "empty, swept and garnished" mearin It means that if your heart is not pre- occupied with good, it will be invad- ed by evil. Oh.„ beware of idleness in its every form; idle procrastinations, idle talk, idle habits, idle thoughts—these are the certain ruin of the Boni. ThO, laborer who stands idle in the niter- ket place is ever ready to be 'hired in the devil's service. The worm Of sin gnaws deepest into the idle heart. Preoccupy your heart with good; preoccupy your time with honest in- dustry, and you are safe. "What- ever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report; if there be any 'virtue, any ,praise, think on these things." Evil can as little ens Creech on the domain of good as darkness can force it way into the circle of radiance which a lamp flings into the night. Remember that since all sin begins in thought, if your thoughts are safe, then you are safe.—F. W. Farrar, D.D: Down the Vista of the Ages, (By a Banker.) • To those who take an interest in•the history of the remote past and in glimps- ing down the dim vista of time, a day spent in the great museum at Cairo is a day of keen gratification and enjoyment. Entering the splendid and massive vesti- bule the visitor is immediately in an at. Mosphere of antiquity, and surrounded with relies both of. the very dawn of civilization and also of the more refined and artistic periodz of those powerful ,monarchs whose conquests raised Egypt to the zenith of its power, and whose massive .fteldevements remain to this day almost untouched- by the disintegrating and despoi1ing hand of time. Here for inetance is a, magnificent state chariot, its gilded frontal of lea- ther embossed with warlike figures or with an artistic design; perhaps the very ehariot on whieh the great nemeses careered at the head of his victorloae army through the palm -bordered ave- nues of Memphis after some great con- quests; here a number of cases of valuable and handsome jewelry, worn by the queens and prineeesee -of Egypt in those dayof regal splendor; or hew a series of painted papyri, still fresh and bright, figuring the fauelful experience of the soul after death, and depicting its ap- pearance before a strange and .dread tribnael, which is to adj»dicate upon ite final doom. But of infinitely greater inter9st than any other objece in that wonderful mu- seum, are the three embalmecl baffles — not mummies, but the actual bodies—of Egypt's greatest Pharaohs---Seti I., the builder of some of the finest of the tem - pies, the sword -cleft hi his skull by which he was slain, in battle plainly visible; Rameses the Great, the Pharaoh of the .oppression, who ordered the Israelites to make bricks without straw; his feat- ures la:Beating strong will power and determination; and Menephthal), the Pharaoh of the Exodtts, and, that being so, the) man—the very man—who said to roes, "See my., feet) no more; for in that day thon seest my face tbou Omit die!"

Neville walked Way very thoughtful. Lavarick's Oonduct puzzled him. But he Set his mind to rest with the reflection that the man was not likely to trouble him or Sylvia again; and he laughed cheerfully as he gave Sylvia an account of the scene at Margregor's. "Your boeic'e gone forever, Syl," said. "Lord', how hungry 1 am!" and he net down to his coffee and cakes with a sigh of content. It was fortunate for him that he could not see into the future, for if he could have done so Neville's breakfast would have been spoiled! CHAPTER. X. The hint that the 'unfortunate Rachel "hadfallen into eyll ways" came from the thin and pale lips of Sir Jordan Lyne, with the cold-bloodedness dis- played by a surgeon as he mainly pur- sues hie work over the dissecting table. And 'the remark fell upon the ears of the policeman without causing the least emotion in that functionary; for police- men are acoustomed to the sight of girls who have strayed from the path of virtue. While outiVardly calm, Mr jordan was much disturbed by his unexpected inter- view with Rachel, and for several days thereafter did not leave his ?Omits in South sludley street without pausing at the door and looking mu -dully up and down the thoroughfare. But although the woman with the worn and sorrowful faee may have haunted his dreams, she did not again trouble him with her bod- ily presence. The autumn session of Parliament was over, and soon there was an exodus from London, which to many persons seemed extraordinarily dull afterethe adjourn- ment. The Marlowe luul already mown- penied .Audley Hope to the Grange, which was separated from Lynne Court by the high road, both estates running parallel for a considerable distance. There were several gueets at the Grange; about half a dozen of each sex. Among the fair ones was Miss Lilian Laevson, a bright and attractive young lady, who ranked tunong the men as a professional benaty. Lord Lorrimore was of mimeo a conspictions guest, but as he had eyes and ears only for.Aud- rey, the efforts of Miss Lawson to charm him with her smiles and other blandish - meats were unavailing. Audrey and the Marlowe had been, at the Grange three days before Sir Jordan excepted the levitation of his neighbore to visit them. Something had occurred to disturb him on the very evening of his molted at Lynne Court. Long after midnigbt, when the servants Itied retired, that calm and dignified gentleman, hav- ing put ott a pair of list slippers, had stealthily made his way, like it burglme to the room wherein•his father led (lied.

On the third day titereafter lie called ea his neigh- bors, and was kindly welcomed by Aud- rey And the Marlowe. His.preeenee at the Gramm mi was t appreeutted by:Lord torrimore, because the latter saw in him a rival who would uot be likely to spare any effort to win the favor of .Aiidrey, Unpleasant retorts were frequently oxalic:aged between Sir Jordan and Lord Lorrhuore, and 00 one occasion they were on the verge of a serious quarrel, which, fortunately, was interrupted by the timely appearance of Audrey. '.Lite men had gene -on a rabbit hunts and the ladies were to aeseninle iit the neighborhood of the burrows, to partake of it luuch. Sir ;Jordan challenged Lord Lorrimore to it Mort horsebeck race, the prize to be e rose worn on the bosom of Audrey. Sir Jordan, having the superior horse, won the race and clahned the re- ward. le was graeefully bestowed upon him by.„Audreye,,who fled that morning reeeived the rose from her most devoted attendaut, Lord Lorrimore. The fact that this flower had been wen by his rival was au unendurable aggravation, and might have led to- serious conse- quences ha4 not Audrey temporarily calmed the hot-headed Young MAIL A short time afterward, Lorriveore challenged Sir Jordan to it test of marksmanship, the prize te be the same flower. He cut a small hole in it card, tacked it on a tree, and the agreement was that he who made the beet shet ;should possess the rose. Jordan fired and grazed the top of the card, Lord Lorriinore sent Ids bullet directly through the hole in the centre. ;Jordan took the rose slowly from his coat, and extended it to his rival. Lorrimere a.cebpted it, raised his hat slightly, and without a word stalked off, and in a few moments found Audrey, as if .she had been waiting fOr him. She raised her eyes and glanced at hint with an offended air, which he af- fected not to mince as he held out his hand with the rose in it. "Let me restore you your property, Miss Hope?" he said, in a calm tone. Audrey took the rose, dropped it on the ground and set her foot on it, then turned her flashing eyes upon him. "How could you be guilty of such— such folly. To quarrel over a worthless flower." "You forget you wore it!" he said in a low voicen"We were not quarreling." "You were!" she said, her lips trem- bling, her eyes moistened by his grave retort. " I saw your faces! Oh what fools men are! To—to quarrel about a trifle." "The woman I love is more than a trifle to me," he broke in again, in his deep voice. She openea her eyes and swept him a courtesy. "Ohl Then you were shooting for me, like two plowboys at a fair." "Like two men in deadly earnest. At leant, one wasl" "Indeed! And did you think I should be gratified.—pleased by such folly. What a vain idiot you must consider me, Lord Loorimore. My vanityis of a, rarer kink thai n to be gratified n such it "Show me eome other, some higher way!" he said, quickly. "You know there is nothing 1 would not do to prove my love end win yours!" She made a.n impatient gesture!" "Do you think I could rest elms, while that man wore the rose I had given you. Had you flung it into the sea—" "You would have dived for it," she broke in, with it laugh which was meant to be sarcastic, but which quavered a little. "Yes." he said, gravely. nI will do any- thing, go anywhere, to prove my love— though I think you cannot doubt it, Au - dry." She let his use of her Christian name pass unnoticed. "I have it great mind to send you to —to—" she said,. with it laugh eranney- ance. "Send me where you please," he said. As he spoke an idea finished into Au- drey'e mind. "You would go anywhere for me!" she said. "Suppose I asked you to go in search of a lost friend, A friend whose absence and silence trouble me. Would you go? Wait! It is not only for him or myself I ask, but for your sake. Lord Lorrimore, you are wasting your time." The color rose to her face then left it pale. "Oh, 'when will men learn -that we silly, useless women are not worth se much trouble!" "Nver mind in," he said. "Go on. Who is this friend you want me to find." He watched her closely.. , "Neville Lynne,' silo said, meeting his gaze steadily. Ho did not Mart, but Mill 'watched her. "Sir Jordat's half-brottter.

"And when I come bask, having failed or suceeedea, you will be--" She did not understand hint for it Mo- ment, then the blood rushed to her fate. "Audrey Hope still!" she staid, hi it low voice.

The search in Cali. font& was diligently pursued, but with' out finding it trace of the wanderer, In it Ballarat 'paper, Whielt imerimore foend itt it reading -room of the Panne Hotel, San Francisco, he SECIV an account of AM exciting incident in a mining teem in Wildfall. Australia., wherein an ethletic young English miner of refined manners he discovered, was in a state of greet excitement. An adiacent miring town, torn Rope Cetrap, had suddenly be. ernne inoculated with a treligioue fever, through the adveut there of the. Rev. Mr. Browe and leis pretty, blue-eyed deughter, Mary. The good people of Lore Hope attentively listened to the prenehings of Mr. Brown, and were so deeply impressed Ins Me pious fervor that they bad.banished the ne'er-do-wells and blacklegs from the settlement. They had then been organized as a gang of rangers, with the purpose of despoiling travellers, and heel found hiding places in a lonely district between Windfall and torn Hope, which settlements were about townty miles apart, Already frequent attacks bra occurred within short distances of Wildfall, and several travellers bad been plundered by the road agents. Consequently, when Lerrimore arrived at Windfall, he soon became acquainted with the condition of entire. in that vieinity. A, body of vigila,nts was organized, in 1Vildfall to pursue the rangers, and Lor- rimore joined it. He had learned of the peril of attempting to reach torn Hope Camp, where lie expected to find same tidings of Neville, unless he swere protected by an armed Amara; hence his eagerness to join the vigilantes. Thus was the condition of affairs et Wildfall, and it was in .direct contrast with that the the tamp of Lorn Hope, where unusual serenity reigned, Neville had struck it golden treasure in a lovely valley, a few iniles from his hut, and Wa$ iecretly wbeking the streams which flew. eel between lofty hills. The creek bedi, gave forth gold in large quantities, and every night, after his day's labor, he con- veyed hie auriferous dust and nuggets to his hut, end be and Sylvia rejoiced in the thought that soon they would have en- ough to warrant their departure for mei, rie England. To prevent dimovery of his good luck by the miners of torn Hope, Neville only occasionally worked hie new claim—sel- dom going to the distant valley oftener than on alternate days. In the meantime he cultivated the stequaintance of Rev. Mr. Brown and his eharming daughter, and in the latter found much to interest and delight -him. His interest in.:Mary Brown presently became painfully apparent to Sylvia sensitive girl. On one oceasiou, indeed, when Neyille had brought from the val- ley a little bouquet of flowers which he had plucked in the val- ley, especially for the minister's daughter, Sylvia wept secretly at the disturbing reflection that "her jack," as she mentally called biin, could be so cruel as to slight her by bestowing floral favors on any other young lady. se These flowers wereof a different var- iety from eny that grew in the immedi- ate vicinity of torn Hope Camp: When they were seen by Lockit adorning the coreage of Mary Brown, end he learned from that young lady that they had been presented by Neville, he suspected that Neville's frequent absences from the eamp wero not entirely due to his desire to gather rare floral tributes. Lockit secretly followed Neville to the volley, saw him at .wOrk in the bode of the creeks, gathering shining gold, and In less than it week after tins discovery the valley echoed to the music of picks and shovels wielded by scores of miners. 011 exasperating thought! Neville's secret had been betrayed by the flowers he bad bestowed upon the 'minister's daughter. It. was not long after that When Nev- ille determined to shake the dust of Lorn Hope Camp from his feet, and start for England, taking Sylvia with him. This determination pleased Syl- vine...for she welcomed any change which would remove' "her Jack" front the lass cinatious of the minister's daughter, Preparations for travel were inunedis ately made, end. Neville and Sylvia started for Wildfall, where he intended to exchange ins gold for motes or lettere of credit. They resolvea to walk the twenty miles, wisely thinking that if they rode their horses' footsteps would certainly arouse the attention of tho rangers, should tiny be in the neighbor- hood of the route that led to Wildfall. Night overtook them ere they were two-thirds .of the distance, but it bright moon rendered their way clear, Suddenly as they were passing through it thicket, Neville's keen ears ought the sound of a breaking twig; in a. moment more both of the travelers heard the noise of horses' hoofs.
