However, there never yet was an honest attempt to do good which really failed, though the vast majority fail apparently. It was impossible that the revival- ists' teaching could ever be accepted by the Norseman; but their ardent devotion, their practical, aggressive lines; impressed --hien•-not -a little, and threw a somewhat disagreeable light over his awn selfishness. - Partly owing to this, partly from physical causes, he felt bitterly out of heart with himself for the next few weeks. In truth he was thor oughly out of health, and he had not the only power which can hold irratibility in check -the strong restraint of love. Except a genuine liking for the Bouifaces, he had nothing to take him out of himself, and he was quite ready to return with interest the dislike which the other men in the shop felt for him, first on account of his foreign birth, but chiefly because of his proud manner and hasty temper. Some- times he felt that he could bear the life no longer; and at times, out of his very wretchedness, there sprang up in him a vague pity for those who were in his own position. As heyatood there behind the counter he would say to himself, `There are thousands and thousands in this city alone who have day after day to endure this horrible monotony, to serve the customers who are rude, and the customers who are civil, the hurried ones who are all impa- tience,the tiresome ones who dawdle, the bores who give you as much trouble as they can, often for noth- ing. One day follows another eter- nally in the same dull round. 1 am a hundred times better off than most --there are no hurried meals here, no fines, no unfairness -and yet what drudgery it is !'

So Miss Charlotte meekly obeyed and sent up by the shabby servant gii 1 a most savory little supper. - Unluckily the girl was a pert cock- ney, and her loud abrupt knock at the door in itself irritated Frithiof.

She beat a hasty retreat, and was planning how she could manage to eat the despised supper herself, when at the foot of the stairs she met Miss Charlotte, and her project was nipped in the bud.

He listened, and wondered how a man of his own age"'could possibly get up and say fetch things. What was it he had found ? How bad he found it? If the speaker had shown the least sign of vanity his words would have been utterly powerless; but his quiet positiveness impressed people, and it was apparent to every one that he believed in a strength which was not his own. There fol- lowed much that seemed to Frithiof monotonous and undesirable; about thirty people on the platform, one after another, got up and spoke a few words, whioh invariably began with 'I thank the Lord I was Fayed on such and such a night.'
