"When we go to Paris, would you like to make a little present to your fiance?"

"Je voudrais bien, mademoiselle."

"Then you shall give him these," said Zuleika, holding out the two studs.

"Mais jamais de la vie! Chez Tourtel tout le monde le dirait millionaire. Un garcon de cafe qui porte au plastron des perles pareilles—merci!"

Tell him he may tell every one that they were given to me by the late Duke of Dorset, and given by me to you, and by you to him."

"Mais—" The protest died on Melisande's lips. Suddenly she had ceased to see the pearls as trinkets finite and inapposite—saw them as things presently transmutable into little marble tables, bocks, dominos, absinthes au sucre, shiny black portfolios with weekly journals in them, yellow staves with daily journals flapping from them, vermouths secs, vermouths cassis. ..

"Mademoiselle is too amiable," she said, taking the pearls.

And certainly, just then, Zuleika was looking very amiable indeed. The look was transient. Nothing, she reflected, could undo what the Duke had done. That hateful, impudent girl would take good care that every one should know. "He put them in with his own hands." HER ear-rings! "He kissed me in the public street. He loved me". . . Well, he had called out "Z

 uleika!" and every one around had heard him. That was something. But how glad all the old women in the world would be to shake their heads and say "Oh, no, my dear, believe me! It wasn't anything to do with HER. I'm told on the very best authority," and so forth, and so on. She knew he had told any number of undergraduates he was going to die for her. But they, poor fellows, could not bear witness. And good heavens! If there were a doubt as to the Duke's motive, why not doubts as to theirs? . . But many of them had called out "Zuleika!" too. And of course any really impartial person who knew anything at all about the matter at first hand would be sure in his own mind that it was perfectly absurd to pretend that the whole thing wasn't entirely and absolutely for her . . . And of course some of the men must have left written evidence of their intention. She remembered that at The MacQuern's to-day was a Mr. Craddock, who had made a will in her favour and wanted to read it aloud to her in the middle of luncheon. Oh, there would be proof positive as to many of the men. But of the others it would be said that they died in trying to rescue their comrades. There would be all sorts of silly far-fetched theories, and downright lies that couldn't be disproved. ..

 undressed?"

The maid hastened to her side, and with quick light fingers began to undress her. "Mademoiselle va bien dormir—ca se voit," she purred.

"I shan't," said Zuleika.

Nevertheless, it was soothing to be undressed, and yet more soothing anon to sit merely night-gowned before the mirror, while, slowly and gently, strongly and strand by strand, Melisande brushed her hair.

After all, it didn't so much matter what the world thought. Let the world whisper and insinuate what it would. To slur and sully, to belittle and drag down—that was what the world always tried to do. But great things were still great, and fair things still fair. With no thought for the world's opinion had these men gone down to the water to-day. Their deed was for her and themselves alone. It had sufficed them. Should it not suffice her? It did, oh it did. She was a wretch to have repined.

At a gesture from her, Melisande brought to a close the rhythmical ministrations, and—using no tissue paper this time—did what was yet to be done among the trunks.

"WE know, you and I," Zuleika whispered to the adorable creature in the mirror; and the adorable creature gave back her nod and smile.

THEY knew, these two.

Yet, in their happiness, rose and floated a shadow between them. It was the ghost of that one man

 who—THEY knew—had died irrelevantly, with a cold heart.

Came also the horrid little ghost of one who had died late and unseemly.

And now, thick and fast, swept a whole multitude of other ghosts, the ghosts of all them who, being dead, could not die again; the poor ghosts of them who had done what they could, and could do no more.

No more? Was it not enough? The lady in the mirror gazed at the lady in the room, reproachfully at first, then—for were they not sisters? —relentingly, then pityingly. Each of the two covered her face with her hands.

And there recurred, as by stealth, to the lady in the room a thought that had assailed her not long ago in Judas Street. . . a thought about the power of example. ..

And now, with pent breath and fast-beating heart, she stood staring at the lady of the mirror, without seeing her; and now she wheeled round and swiftly glided to that little table on which stood her two books. She snatched Bradshaw.

We always intervene between Bradshaw and any one whom we see consulting him. "Mademoiselle will permit me to find that which she seeks?" asked Melisande.

"Be quiet," said Zuleika. We always repulse, at first, any one who intervenes between us and Bradshaw.

The glands of the neck should be studied first, because they or their ducts are likely to be injured during the dissection of the blood vessels of this region. Cautiously remove the skin from the head and neck, taking care to avoid injuring the underlying muscles, blood vessels, and glands. Removal of the subcutaneous connective tissue on the ventral and lateral surfaces of the neck will now reveal the glands. These are of three types, salivary, lymph, and lacrimal.

The salivary glands secrete the saliva, which is mixed with the food in the mouth during mastication. Look for two of them in the rat, the parotid and the submaxillary glands. The parotid is the rather loosely organized, elongated, mass extending from the base of the external ear along the side of the neck to the ventral surface of it. Find and trace the parotid duct (Stenson's duct) which transports the salivary secretion from the gland to the mouth cavity. The duct is formed by the union of several tributaries from different parts of the gland, traverses the lateral surface of the jaw muscle (masseter), then turns inward to the mouth cavity. The duct should not be confused with the nerves which cross the surface of the muscle in this region. Immediately anterior to the dorsal portion of the parotid is the extra-orbital portion of the lacrimal, or tear, gland. Locate its duct and trace it to the eye. The submaxillary glands are the large elongated pair on the ventral surface of the neck. The median faces of these glands are in contact with one another, in the sagittal plane

Trace the two submaxillary (Wharton's) ducts, each of which leaves the anterior end of one of the glands and courses cephalad to the opening on the ventral surface of the buccal cavity.

The vascular system conveys food materials and oxygen to the cells of the body, and carries away from these cells the waste products of metabolism. The food substances dissolved in the blood furnish energy for the cell's activities, and materials for replacing the protoplasm which has disintegrated during metabolism. The blood stream tends also to equalize the temperature throughout the body. Still another function is the conveyance of hormones from their sources to parts of the body whose activities the hormones accelerate or retard.

The vascular system carries two fluids—blood and lymph. The former consists of an almost colorless fluid, plasma, and of red (erythrocytes), and white (leucocytes) blood cells. When clotting occurs the plasma is resolved into the fluid serum, which is incapable of clotting under ordinary conditions, and the solid clot of fibrin. The capacity of blood to form a clot is of primary importance, since it greatly reduces the chance of death through the loss of blood following injury. The red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which has the power of combining with oxygen in the lungs, and carrying it to the tissues, where it is released. Hemoglobin gives the blood its reddish color when exposed to oxygen. There are several types of white blood cells.

a word, a forc'd Marriage is a Contradiction in Speech, the Terms are inconsistent; 'tis no Marriage at all, or, if you will call it a Marriage, 'tis no Matrimony. How are the Women so us'd, said to take such a Man to be their wedded Husband? The very meaning of the Word Matrimony, in several Languages, signifies chusing: Can a Woman be said to chuse the Man, when she is dragg'd to his Bed as a Malefactor is dragg'd to Execution, or, as we express it, as a Bear to the Stake? that is to say, to the Place where he is to be Baited with Dogs, and which he knows is to be his Case, and therefore hangs back till he is haul'd along by the Ring in his Nose, and cannot resist it.

this back to our former Test: Every Marriage where the pure and simple End of the Matrimony is not such as agrees with the religious End of the Institution, is, in my Sense, a Matrimonial Whoredom, and no other, and, among all the rest, this of forcing a Woman to be marry'd, is one of the worst.

there is any thing in these Matches to the dislike of the Parties, they must take it as an Accident to the Dignity of their Birth, and go through it as well as they can; they have generally the State and Honour of their Birth and Families, and the Titles they possess, to make up the Deficiencies, and to be Equivalents for the loss of their personal Endearments; so we have nothing to say to those Things. If Princes and great Persons are content to marry on those Conditions, they must do as they please, the Consequence is to themselves. We are not speaking here of People under the Influence of Politick Government, and who move this Way or that, by Reasons of State; but of People within the Circle of Equality with our selves, and under the Government of Laws both of Justice and Reason, and also of the Constitution; and to such, I think, what I have observed, is just. Matrimony is a Law of Decency, binding to Christians, and to People who pretend to live and act as Christians do, or should do, and those who do not proceed in it with a due regard to Decency and Christianity too, should lay aside the Name of Christian, and pretend to it no more.

 ible and possible than any other Welt-Politik. In spite of all the pageant of modern war, synthesis is in the trend of the world. To aid and develop it, could be made the open and secure policy of any great modern empire now. Modern war, modern international hostility, is, I believe, possible only through the stupid illiteracy of the mass of men and the conceit and intellectual indolence of rulers and those who feed the public mind. Were the will of the mass of men lit and conscious, I am firmly convinced it would now burn steadily for synthesis and peace.

It would be so easy to bring about a world peace within a few decades, was there but the will for it among men! The great empires that exist need but a little speech and frankness one with another. Within, the riddles of social order are already half solved in books and thought, there are the common people and the subject peoples to be educated and drilled, to be led to a common speech and a common literature, to be assimilated and made citizens; without, there is the possibility of treaties. Why, for example, should Britain and France, or either and the United States, or Sweden and Norway, or Holland, or Denmark, or Italy, fight any more for ever? And if there is no reason, how foolish and dangerous it is still to sustain linguistic differences and custom houses, and all sorts of foolish and irritating distinctions between their various citizens! Why should not all these peoples agree to teach some common language, French for example, in their common schools, or to teach each other's languages reciprocally? Why should they not aim at a common literature, and bring their

 various common laws, their marriage laws, and so on, into uniformity? Why should they not work for a uniform minimum of labour conditions through all their communities? Why, then, should they not—except in the interests of a few rascal plutocrats—trade freely and exchange their citizenship freely throughout their common boundaries? No doubt there are difficulties to be found, but they are quite finite difficulties. What is there to prevent a parallel movement of all the civilised Powers in the world towards a common ideal and assimilation?

Stupidity—nothing but stupidity, a stupid brute jealously, aimless and unjustifiable.

The coarser conceptions of aggregation are at hand, the hostile, jealous patriotisms, the blare of trumpets and the pride of fools; they serve the daily need though they lead towards disaster. The real and the immediate has us in its grip, the accidental personal thing. The little effort of thought, the brief sustained effort of will, is too much for the contemporary mind. Such treaties, such sympathetic international movements, are but dream stuff yet on earth, though Utopia has realised them long since and already passed them by.

I walk back along the river terrace to the hotel where the botanist awaits me, and observe the Utopians I encounter, I have no thought that my tenure of Utopia becomes every moment more precarious. There float in my mind vague anticipations of more talks with my double and still more, of a steady elaboration of detail, of interesting journeys of exploration. I forget that a Utopia is a thing of the imagination that becomes more fragile with every added circumstance, that, like a soap-bubble, it is most brilliantly and variously coloured at the very instant of its dissolution. This Utopia is nearly done. All the broad lines of its social organisation are completed now, the discussion of all its general difficulties and problems. Utopian individuals pass me by, fine buildings tower on either hand; it does not occur to me that I may look too closely. To find the people assuming the concrete and individual is not, as I fondly imagine, the last triumph of realisation, but the swimming moment of opacity before the film gives way. To come to individual emotional cases, is to return to the earth.

I find the botanist sitting at a table in the hotel courtyard.

 "Well?" I say, standing before him.

"I've been in the gardens on the river terrace," he answers, "hoping I might see her again."

"Nothing better to do?"

"Nothing in the world."

"You'll have your double back from India to-morrow. Then you'll have conversation."

"I don't want it," he replies compactly.

I shrug my shoulders, and he adds, "At least with him."

I let myself down into a seat beside him.

For a time I sit restfully enjoying his companionable silence, and thinking fragmentarily of those samurai and their Rules. I entertain something of the satisfaction of a man who has finished building a bridge; I feel that I have joined together things that I had never joined before. My Utopia seems real to me, very real; I can believe in it until the metal chair-back gives to my shoulder blades, and Utopian sparrows twitter and hop before my feet. I have a pleasant moment of unhesitating self-satisfaction; I feel a shameless exultation to be there. For a moment I forget the consideration the botanist demands; the mere pleasure of completeness, of holding and controlling all the threads, possesses me.

"You will persist in believing," I say with an aggressive expository note, "that if you meet this lady she will be a person with the memories and sentiments of her double on earth. You think she will understand and pity, and perhaps love you. Nothing of the sort is the case." I repeat with confident rudeness, "Nothing of the sort is the case. Things are different alto-

 gether here; you can hardly tell even now how different are"

I discover he is not listening to me.

"What is the matter?" I ask abruptly.

He makes no answer, but his expression startles me.

"What is the matter?" and then I follow his eyes.

A woman and a man are coming through the great archway—and instantly I guess what has happened. She it is arrests my attention first; long ago I knew she was a sweetly beautiful woman. She is fair, with frank blue eyes that look with a sort of tender receptivity into her companion's face. For a moment or so they remain, greyish figures in the cool shadow, against the sunlit greenery of the gardens beyond.

"It is Mary," the botanist whispers with white lips, but he stares at the form of the man. His face whitens, it becomes so transfigured with emotion that for a moment it does not look weak. Then I see that his thin hand is clenched.

I realise how little I understand his emotions.

A sudden fear of what he will do takes hold of me. He sits white and tense as the two come into the clearer light of the courtyard. The man, I see, is one of the samurai, a dark, strong-faced man, a man I have never seen before, and she is wearing the robe that shows her a follower of the Lesser Rule.

Some glimmering of the botanist's feelings strikes through to my slow sympathies. Of course—a strange man! I put out a restraining hand towards his arm. "I told you," I say, "that very probably, most probably, she would have met some other. I tried to prepare you."

 "Nonsense," he whispers, without looking at me. "It isn't that. It's—that scoundrel"

He has an impulse to rise. "That scoundrel," he repeats.

"He isn't a scoundrel," I say. "How do you know? Keep still! Why are you standing up?"

He and I stand up quickly, I as soon as he. But now the full meaning of the group has reached me. I grip his arm. "Be sensible," I say, speaking very quickly and with my back to the approaching couple. "He's not a scoundrel here. This world is different from that. It's caught his pride somehow and made a man of him. Whatever troubled them there"

He turns a face of white wrath on me, of accusation, and for the moment of unexpected force. "This is your doing," he says. "You have done this to mock me. He—of all men!" For a moment speech fails him, then; "You—you have done this to mock me."

I try to explain. My tone is almost propitiatory.

"I never thought of it until now. But he's— How did I know he was the sort of man a disciplined world has a use for?"

He makes no answer, but he looks at me with eyes that are positively baleful, and in the instant I read his mute but mulish resolve that Utopia must end.

"Don't let that old quarrel poison all this," I say almost entreatingly. "It happened all differently here—everything is different here. Your double will be back to-morrow. Wait for him. Perhaps then you will understand"

He shakes his head, and then bursts out with,

Page:The Works of H G Wells Volume 9.pdf/344

 "What do I want with a double? Double! What do I care if things have been different here? This"

He thrusts me weakly back with his long white hand. "My God!" he says almost forcibly, "what nonsense all this is! All these dreams! All Utopias! There she is—! Oh, but I have dreamt of her! And now"

A sob catches him. I am really frightened by this time. I still try to keep between him and these Utopians, and to hide his gestures from them.

"It's different here," I persist. "It's different here. The emotion you feel has no place in it. It's a scar from the earth—the sore scar of your past"

"And what are we all but scars? What is life but a scarring? It's you—you who don't understand! Of course we are covered with scars, we live to be scarred, we are scars! We are the scars of the past! These dreams, these childish dreams!"

He does not need to finish his sentence, he waves an unteachable destructive arm.

My Utopia rocks about me.

For a moment the vision of that great courtyard hangs real. There the Utopians live real about me, going to and fro, and the great archway blazes with sunlight from the green gardens by the riverside. The man who is one of the samurai, and his lady, whom the botanist loved on earth, pass out of sight behind the marble flower-set Triton that spouts coolness in the middle of the place. For a moment I see two working men in green tunics sitting on a marble seat in the shadow of the colonnade, and a sweet little silver-haired old lady, clad all in violet, and carrying

Rh Some of them remove necrotic tissue or other detritus, and therefore function as scavengers. The lymph consists of plasma and white blood cells. The lymph vessels are the parts of the vascular system which transport lymph.

The heart receives blood laden with carbon dioxide (venous blood) from the systemic veins. It pumps this blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries. Carbon dioxide is surrendered here and oxygen enters the blood from the air chambers of the lungs. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins, and is propelled to the body through the systemic arteries. The branches of the arteries terminate in vessels of microscopic size, the capillaries, in which food and oxygen are surrendered to the cells of the muscles, glands, etc., and carbon dioxide enters the blood. The blood from the capillaries ultimately drains into the systemic veins and flows back to the heart. The internal structure of the heart and other details of the circulation will be discussed later.

The arteries and veins in any part of the body may often be dissected simultaneously. This is the logical procedure, since the arteries carrying blood to a part and the veins conducting blood away from it often lie close together. Considerable care must be exercised in dissecting out blood vessels, particularly veins, since they are frequently broken easily. It is better, as a rule, to locate a vessel at one place, then to follow it from that locality into the adjoining tissues just as a workman, having exposed a buried water pipe which he desires to uncover completely, follows it from the point at which it was first located. Every attempt to find a vessel anew at a place where it is concealed by other tissues unnecessarily increases the chance of breaking it accidentally.

The arteries should be injected with a colored fluid immediately after killing the rat. This fluid will force the

52 blood out of the arteries, through the capillaries and into the veins, which will therefore be filled, after preservation, with dark coagulated blood. The fluid may be introduced through the left ventricle of the heart.

Skin a rat whose blood vessels have been injected, exercising great care to remove nothing but the skin. Do not remove the integument between the hind legs on the ventral and posterior surfaces until ready to study the urinogenital system. Place the skinned animal upon its back and slit the thorax along a line parallel to the sternum but seven or eight millimeters to its left, and extending from the diaphragm to the level of the anterior end of the heart. Continue the incision dorsally along the junction of diaphragm and body wall. Expose the thoracic cavity by pressing this flap outward. The lungs and heart will be seen through this aperture. The membranous attachments of the lungs will not be injured by this dissection if the scissors are not thrust too far into the thoracic cavity. Avoid extending the incision too far forward, as the blood vessels anterior to the heart region will be cut.

Observe the membranous sac (pericardium) surrounding the heart, the large organ in the middle of the cavity. Note the mesentery-like mediastinal septum extending from the diaphragm to the anterior end of the thoracic cavity, and from the pericardium to the sternum. The small pulmonary lobe just behind the heart lies loosely in a chamber inclosed by the diaphragm behind, by lateral membranes extending from the pericardium to the diaphragm, and in front by the pericardium. The large left lobe of the lung is attached by a membrane along its dorsal border to the esophagus, or to the membrane inclosing the pulmonary lobe mentioned above.

Rh Make a second longitudinal incision in the thoracic wall seven or eight millimeters to the right of the sternum. Separate the median strip, containing the sternum, from the diaphragm and turn the strip forward. The right lung will be exposed. Observe that the dorsal edge of the extreme posterior lobe on the right side is attached by a mesentery to the esophagus, which, in turn, is similarly suspended from the dorsal wall of the thoracic cavity.

Observe, also, the thymus gland anterior to the heart. This gland has no duct. Its secretion enters the blood. It is therefore an endocrine gland, or gland of internal secretion.

The veins of mammals show considerable variation. Fluctuations from the relations described in this text should be noted. While dissecting the veins, care should be taken to avoid injuring the arteries.

Venous blood from the regions of the body anterior to the heart drains into the right and the left superior vena cava (precaval veins), which enter the right atrium of the heart. Trace one of the superior venae cavae cephalad and note that it is formed by the confluence of the subclavian and internal jugular veins. The right and left internal mammary veins pass from the ventral thoracic wall, each one parallel to and near the corresponding internal mammary artery, to the precaval vein of the same side. Both mammary arteries and veins will be seen in the median strip which has been reflected forward. The azygous vein empties into the left precava near its union with the heart. Follow the azygous dorsally at the left of the aorta, thence caudally parallel to the aorta, noting its tributaries. Is there a corresponding branch of the right precaval vein? Trace the internal jugular vein anteriorly to the thyroid gland.

’s father had a buffalo with which he worked his field. After this buffalo had been taken from him by the District-Head of Parang-Koodyang, he was full of sadness, and never spoke a word for many days. For ploughing-time was drawing near, and it was to be feared that if the rice-field was not prepared early, seeding-time also would pass by, and in the end there would be no paddy to cut and store in the shed of the house.

I must here remark, for readers who know Java but do not know Bantam, that in this residency personal landownership exists, which is not the case elsewhere. Saïdyah’s father then was greatly distressed. He feared that his wife would lack rice, and also Saïdyah, who was still a child, and the younger brothers and sisters of Saïdyah.

Also the District-Head would doubtless cite him before the Assistant-Resident if he were behindhand in paying his land-rent, for there is a penalty for this.

Then Saïdyah’s father took a dagger which was an heirloom from father. The dagger was not very beautiful, but there were silver bands round the sheath, and also on the point of the sheath a small silver plate. He sold this dagger to a Chinaman who lived in the chief township, and came home with twenty-four guilders, which is two pounds of English money, for which sum he bought another buffalo.

Saïdyah, who was then about seven years old, soon contracted a friendship with the new buffalo. Not inadvisedly do I say “friendship,” for it is indeed touching to see how the Javanese buffalo becomes attached to the little boy that watches and takes care of him. The strong animal willingly bows his heavy head to right or

 left or downward, according to the finger-pressure of the child that he knows, that he understands, that he has grown up with.

And such friendship little Saïdyah rapidly inspired in the new guest, whilst the encouragement of Saïdyah’s child-voice seemed to give greater strength even to the powerful shoulders of the strong animal, when it tore up the heavy clay of the soil and marked its passage in deep, sharp furrows. The buffalo turned round docilely when he reached the end of the paddock, and lost not an inch-breadth of the ground in his backward course ploughing the new furrow, which ever lay alongside the old one as though the rice-field were a garden-plot raked by a giant.

Next to this field lay those of Adinda’s father, the father of the child that was to marry Saïdyah. And when Adinda’s little brothers came to the border that lay between, at exactly the same moment as Saïdyah was also there with his plough, they called out to each other merrily, and in friendly rivalry praised the strength and obedience of their respective buffaloes. But I believe that of Saïdyah was the best, perhaps because he knew better than the others how to speak to it, for buffaloes are very sensitive to a friendly way of speaking.

Saïdyah was nine, and Adinda already six, before this buffalo was taken from Saïdyah’s father by the District-Chief of Parang Koodyang.

Saïdyah’s father, who was very poor, now sold to a Chinaman two silver curtain-clasps, heirlooms from the parents of his wife, for eighteen guilders. And for this money he bought a new buffalo.

But Saïdyah was heavy-hearted, for he knew from Adinda’s little brothers that the last buffalo had been driven to the head-centre, and he had asked his father whether he had not seen the animal when he was there to sell the curtain-clasps. To which question Saïdyah’s father had not wished to reply. Therefore he feared that his buffalo had been killed, as was the case with the other buffaloes which the District-Chief took from the people.

And Saïdyah cried much when he thought of the poor buffalo

Rh these plans have obtained in creation. Sometimes the series of affinities can be well represented for a space by a direct progression from species to species or from group to group, but it is generally found impossible so to continue. There constantly occur two or more modifications of an organ or modifications of two distinct organs, leading us on to two distinct series of species, which at length differ so much from each other as to form distinct genera or families. These are the parallel series or representative groups of naturalists, and they often occur in different countrie, or are found fossil in different formations. They are said to have an analogy to each other when they are so far removed from their common antitype as to differ in many important points of structure, while they still preserve a family resemblance. We thus see how difficult it is to determine in every case whether a given relation is an analogy or an affinity; for it is evident that as we go back along the parallel or divergent series, towards the common antitype, the analogy which existed between the two groups becomes an affinity. We are also made aware of the difficulty of arriving at a true classification, even in a small and perfect group;—in the actual state of nature it is almost impossible, the species being so numerous and the modifications of form and structure so varied, arising probably from the immense number of species which have served as antitypes for the existing species, and thus produced a complicated, branching of the lines of affinity, as intricate as the twigs of a gnarled oak or the vascular system of the human body. Again, if we consider that we have only fragments of this vast system, the stem and main branches being represented by extinct species of which we have no knowledge, while a vast mass of limbs and boughs and minute twigs and scattered leaves is what we have to place in order, and determine the true position each originally occupied with regard to the others, the whole difficulty of the true Natural System of classification becomes apparent to us. We shall thus find ourselves obliged to reject all those systems of classification which arrange species or groups in circles, as well as those which fix a definite number for the divisions of each group. The latter class have been very generally rejected, by naturalists, as contrary to nature, notwithstanding the ability with which they have been advocated; but the circular system of affinities seems to have obtained a deeper hold, many eminent naturalists having to some extent adopted it. We have, however, never been able to find a case in which the circle has been closed by a direct and close affinity. In most cases, a palpable analogy has been substituted, in others the affinity is very obscure or altogether doubtful. The complicated branching of the lines of affinities in extensive groups must also afford great

USK in Dresden. Darkness flung itself in pulsating mist and grayness on the river's bosom. The Elbe, gloomy and black, gurgled along its course while the last caress of day yet flamed and flickered on the lofty pinnacles of this ancient Saxon capital.

Leaning over the parapet of the Augustus Bridge, the Chevalier Henri d'Aubant, Frenchman, exile, soldier of fortune, a flaxen-bearded man in plain civilian garb, bent his eyes in contemplation on the restless waters. Beside him crouched two great dogs of the hairy Scottish breed. The man shivered, for dusk and dampness bring the early cold to Dresden.

"Well, it must be done some day; there's no help for it," he muttered. "Another man would not hesitate — why should I ? Poor Daria, she's nothing more than a headstrong child, and I should be charitable. If I desert her now it will make an outcast of her. Besides, my own skirts are not so immaculate that I can quibble at her view of the life I've led her into."

D'Aubant's mind ran back for half a year to a humble home in the outskirts of Moscow where he had

I think that you would fit in here, but I am not going to urge you. Think us over. If you like us, ac¬ cept our bid; if you don’t, go some fraternity where you do like the fellows. And that’s my warning about the.Nu Delts. Be sure that you like the fel¬ lows, or most of them, anyway, before you accept their bid. Have you thought them over?”

“No,” Hugh admitted, “I have n’t.” He didn’t like Graham’s talk; he thought that it was merely very clever rushing. He did Graham an injustice. Graham had been strongly attracted to Hugh and felt sure that he would be making a serious mistake if he joined Nu Delta. Hugh’s re¬ action, however, was natural. He had been rushed in dozens of ingenious ways for a week; he had little reason, therefore, to trust Graham or any¬ body else.

Graham stood up. “I have a feeling, Carver,” he said slowly, “that I have flubbed this talk. I am sure that you ’ll know some day that I was really disinterested and wanted to do my best for you.”

Hugh was softened and smiled shyly as he lifted himself out of his chair. “I know you did,” he said with more gratitude in his voice than he quite

Burbank, who was nearest to him, passed him a ackage of cigarettes. Ferguson extracted one, ighted it, blew smoke at the ceiling, and then quietly continued, drawling lazily: “Most fellows don’t tell their folks anything, and there ’s no reaon why they should, either. Our folks lie to us rom the time we are babies. They lie to us about »irth and God and life. My folks never told me the truth about anything. When I came to college I wasn’t very innocent about women, but I was about everything else.

Exigit Sincerae Devotionis Affectus

SIXTUS, BISHOP, SERVANT OF THE SERVANTS OF GOD, TO OUR DEAREST SON IN CHRIST, FERDINAND, AND TO OUR DEAREST DAUGHTER IN CHRIST, ISABEL, ILLUSTRIOUS KING AND QUEEN OF CASTILE AND LEÓN, APOSTOLIC GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS.

Ferdinand and Isabella, by the grace of God, King and Queen of Castile, of León, of Aragon, of Sicily, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Majorca, of Seville, of Sardinia, of Córdoba, of Murcia, of Jaén, of the Algarves, of Algeciras, of Gibraltar, Count and Countess of Barcelona, Lords of Biscay and Molina, Dukes of Athens and Neopatras, Counts of Roussillon and Cerdagne, Marquises of Oristano and of Goceano, to you, the Venerable Fathers Friar Juan de San Martín, Bachelor in Sacred Theology, Prior of the Monastery of San Pablo in the City of Burgos, and Friar Miguel de Morillo, Master in Sacred Theology, Vicar of the Order of Preachers, health and apostolic benediction.

Know that, in view of the fact that our Most Holy Father, considering that in many and diverse parts, cities, towns, and places of these our Kingdoms and dominions, there are and have been some wicked Christians, both men and women, apostates and heretics, who, although they were baptized and received the sacrament of holy baptism without reward or force, have taken on only the name and appearance of Christians, have converted and returned to the sect and superstition and perfidy of the Jews, observing their Jewish ceremonies, rites, and customs, and have departed and depart from the true belief and goodness of our holy Catholic faith and its articles, which every good and faithful Christian should hold and believe, and have, with little fear of God and in disregard of the holy Mother Church, incurred and are incurring the sentences and censures of excommunication and other penalties established by the Apostolic constitutions against such, which has resulted and results in not only their persistence in their blindness and heretical obstinacy but also in the infection and defilement of their sons and daughters and others associating with them in the same infidelity and heresies, and their number has not insignificantly increased; and their sins, and by the tolerance of the ecclesiastical prelates, as is piously believed, wars and bloodshed and other evils continue to increase in those same kingdoms, with God permitting, to the offense of divine Majesty, the contempt of the aforesaid faith, the danger of souls, and the scandal of many.

Therefore, you have humbly besought us to graciously eradicate this pernicious sect from your kingdoms and to employ suitable remedies, known to be opportune for the salvation of souls, through the benevolence of the Apostolic See.

We, taking into account your praiseworthy zeal for the faith and the salvation of souls, rejoice in the Lord and hope that not only will you completely eradicate this perfidy from your kingdoms but that you will also, in our times, subject the Kingdom of Granada and its adjacent territories, inhabited by infidels, to your rule and convert these infidels to the true faith, with divine clemency working effectively. You will accomplish this as predecessors have been hindered in various ways. This will result in the exaltation of the true faith, the salvation of souls, and to your perfect praise, along with the preservation of eternal beatitude. Desiring to accede to your requests and to employ suitable remedies for these matters, we are inclined to these supplications of yours and grant you that three bishops or superiors of your choosing, or other upright secular priests, or religious of mendicant or non-mendicant orders, surpassing the age of forty, of good conscience and laudable life, Masters or Bachelors in theology, Doctors of Canon Law, or at least Licentiates in Canon Law, God-fearing men, whom you shall choose according to the requirements of each city and diocese within the said Kingdoms, shall, for the time being, or at least two of them, exercise the same jurisdiction, authority, and propriety over those guilty of such crimes, their supporters and abettors, as is exercised by the Ordinary and inquisitors of heretical depravity by right or custom of the regions, without any contrary Apostolic ordinances, or if it has been granted by the Apostolic See in common or individually that they cannot be suspended, interdicted, or excommunicated by Apostolic letters, without making a full and express mention, verbatim, of the grant. We, by these present documents, grant you the authority to repeatedly appoint and dismiss such upright men as often as you deem necessary, and to appoint others in their place. Furthermore, we grant the same upright men, whom you shall appoint for the time being, the jurisdiction, authority, and propriety aforementioned for the use against those guilty of such crimes and their supporters and abettors. We hope that you shall strive to select and appoint such men as will bring about the desired fruits of the exaltation of the faith and the salvation of souls through their integrity, uprightness, and diligence.

Let no one, therefore, dare to infringe upon this page of our concession and will, or oppose it with reckless audacity. If anyone presumes to attempt this, let him know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.

Given at Rome at Saint Peter's, in the year of the Lord's Incarnation one thousand four hundred and seventy-eight, on the Kalends of November, in the eighth year of our Pontificate

 things in a mild complacency. He has even formed a theory that there is another finch like a chaffinch, but not such a singer, and he calls it a piefinch. He likes the bright weather, and his cheerful greeting leaves the passerby feeling stupid because he cannot equal it; few sounds can equal it, except the shout of a cuckoo and the abandoned clamour of a deep-voiced hound. He never becomes tired; at noon and evening in the tavern, he drinks standing, with one hand on the high door latch and the other holding the tankard, and talking all the time at the rate of one phrase to a minute, with serious mouth and distant eyes which must be symbols to help out the words, for certainly if those words mean no more than they would in another man's mouth, they convey little but the apparent ennui of all those long hours walking to this oak or that hawthorn spray.

At first sight the ploughman's task seems to be one which ought rightly to be set only to some well-balanced philosopher, who could calmly descend into himself during the many lonely hours and think of nature and man in orderly thoughts. To the ordinary man, with his drug-habit of taking to reverie during any long spell of solitude, such a task would seem fatal. In fact, it is pretty certain that many a plain fellow must be turned into a fool by the immense monotony of similar furrows and the same view repeated exactly every quarter of an hour. When he is still a boy, he goes about even in the four hours' darkness of the winter mornings with always a song amidst the sleet or the silent frost. At lunch he can look for nests or nuts or hunt a stoat. When work is over he looks forward to songs at "The Chequers" with those

 of his own age, or to a shamefaced walk with a girl, or to fishing for tench and eels, or even to a game of cricket. But when he is married all that is past. He leads his horses down to the plough, having some simple thought, a grievance, a recollection, perhaps a hope, running confusedly in his head, and all day he turns it over, repeating himself, exaggerating, puzzling over the meaning of someone's words, floundering in digressions, fitting new words to the wood-pigeon's talk, trying to keep straight and to make up his mind, justifying himself, condemning another, cursing him. Now and then he lifts his eyes to the sky or the wooded hills and his mind catches at an impression which never becomes a thought, but something between a picture and a tune in the head, and its half oblivion is pleasant, when suddenly the plough leaps forward from his relaxing grasp, he shouts "Ah, Charley!" to the leader, mutters a little and settles down again to the grievance or the recollection or the hope, to be disturbed on lucky days by the hounds, perhaps, but otherwise to go on and on; and at noon and evening he takes his horses back to the stable and confronts men with the same simple ejaculations as before, after the last glass possibly reviving his lonely thoughts, but ineffectually. "How Bill does talk!" they say. What wonder that the rustic moralist marks an infant's tomb with the words—

But Richard is no ordinary man, for he is happy and proud, and somewhere in the fields or in the clouds that

 roll before him as his plough comes to the top of the ridge, he has found that draught of excellent grace—

There is little of wisdom in his words except moderation; but his garden is luckier, his kitchen sweeter than all the rest in the hamlet, and of all his tasks—ploughing, harrowing, rolling, drudging, reaping, mowing, carting faggots or corn or hay or green meat or dung—he likes none better than the others, because he likes them all well as they come. And ah! to see him and his team all dark and large and heroic against the sky, ploughing in the winter or the summer morning, or to see him grooming the radiant horses in their dim stable on a calm, delaying evening, is to see one who is in league with sun and wind and rain to make odours fume richly from the ancient altar, to keep the earth going in beauty and fruitfulness for still more years.

 and yet they have failed to notice it. Matthew tells us that "when Jesus was come to Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying. Who is this?" And if that circumstance could produce such a commotion among the people, surely the appearance in the city of many who had been dead and buried must have given rise to great commotion and inquiry. And yet nothing of the kind is mentioned; all appears to have been as quiet as if no such phenomenon had happened. But the reason for this silence; the reason for the absence of all reference to the effect of such a circumstance upon the people; and the reason why it took place after the Lord's resurrection,—is, because the scene of it was not in the natural but in the spiritual world. It was an event kindred to this which is related by Peter, where he says, that the Lord, after His resurrection, "went and preached unto the spirits in prison: in this case the subjects are called spirits in prison; in the other, which we are considering, they are spoken of as saints in their graves. But both the prison and the graves refer to certain external dismal surroundings, from which the internal characters of good spirits were delivered at the time of the Lord's resurrection. He thereby had taken to Himself His great power, and so provided the means for its accomplishment. "The bodies of the saints," were not the carcases of virtuous men on earth, but their living souls in the world of spirits: "There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;" and the spiritual body is the human soul. It is the soul which loves and feels and cares, and incurs responsibility for what it does. The natural body is simply an instrument by which the spiritual body performs its purposes in the world of nature: this dies and returns to the dust from which it came; but the soul, being a spiritual body, lives

 for ever: this, therefore, must be the subject of the judgment; and the world of spirits into which it passes, when the natural body dies, is the place of that experience. And these bodies are said to have slept, not to have been dead; because sleep expresses a condition of obscurity which had been induced upon them by certain unfavourable influences which had surrounded them during their residence in the world. It was in reference to such obscurity that the apostle said to the Ephesians, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." Those bodies of the saints are said to have come out of their graves, to inform us that they were delivered from the external restraint which had beset them; and by their going into the holy city a revelation is made of their elevation into heaven, for that is the holy city which is meant; and there they are said to have appeared unto many, because there they would become associated with many who were grounded in similar principles to themselves. The removal of those external disorders which an unfavourable influence had hung about their character, and which did not agree with the internal sanctity of their lives, constituted that final act of judgment by which they were brought into the liberty with which they could enter into heaven. And this proves to us that it is the soul which is the proper subject of the judgment, and that the world of spirits is the only scene for its accomplishment.

Under this view of the narrative all its difficulties vanish, and the whole phenomenon is brought within the reach of reasonable intelligence. When the manners and opinions of an age become corrupt, men of honest minds and devout purposes do not escape their dangerous seductions. The external character and general conduct of such are brought

 15 system which cannot be passed over without reference, viz., Homocopathy, which teaches that disease consists of symptoms which are to be treated by remedial agents pro- ducing like symptoms in the healthy, the potency of the medicaments increasing in proportion to their dilution.

The influence which these myths have had upon the healing art has been most varied. But certainly they have played a large part in occasioning the low regard in which practitioners of medicine have too often been held by the public. I cannot do better perhaps than quote the words of Dr. Percival, who said: A list of all the follies which at different periods have been established as articles of faith in medicine would form the severest satire on the healing art.'

But despite all these untoward influences, the progress, as I have reminded you, was sound so far as it went when we consider the disadvantages under which the workers pursued their investigations. Nevertheless, they came to a line, beyond which they made but slight advance- a line indistinct, perhaps, and not equally sharp and well- defined in every subject, but withal a line across which, without the intervention of some great change, they could never have passed. We may apply to this period the words that Bacon used in reference to science in general in a previous age: 'Learning,' he wrote, 'is neither prosperous nor greatly advanced, and a way must be opened to the human understanding entirely distinct from that known to our predecessors, and different aids procured that the mind may exercise her power over the nature of things.'

Looking back as I can to the manner in which the component parts of the medical curriculum were pursued when I began my student life, and contrasting this manner with what goes on around me now, I cannot doubt, in the words of Bacon, that a new way has been opened-an in- stauratio magna. When I tell some of my younger listeners that only forty-six years ago my teacher and friend, the

 physiology. Prominent among the researches into structure was the recognition by Schwann and Schleiden of the so-called cell in all living tissues; a doctrine which has been subsequently extended to embrace the existence of protoplasmic forms generally. I need not more than mention the very considerable position, both as regards extent and accuracy, which histology has assumed within the past few years.

So long as the study of the phenomena of the living body was hampered by the dominant notion of a special vital principle, not amenable to the laws which governed inert matter, and which was to be investigated in ways other than those which were producing such grand results in the domain of chemistry and physics, the progress of physiology was likely to be slow and accidental. The turning point in the subject was undoubtedly its being brought into harmony with the principles which govern other experimental sciences, and being pursued along the same path. So far as the change can be attributed to an individual, it is to Mayer that this credit must be given, for his work in 1845 on the relation of organic motion to the exchange of material. For some time from that date, no function of the body escaped investigation by the method of direct experiment of which a mistaken humanity and senseless clamour have since deprived us; always aided by the experiments which nature offers to the physiologist in the operations of disease, complicated though these experiments be by conditions which render them more difficult of explanation.

From the chemical side physiology has received much assistance. Our knowledge of the composition of the blood and its derived secretions, though still leaving a great deal to be desired, has done something towards nnravelling the complex chemistry of the tissues. The chemistry of diges- tion and respiration, which a century, nay fifty years ago, was a jargon compounded of the residues of the Hippocratic C

 tending towards great truths, we find that in every branch into which pathology is artificially separated improvement is taking place. The causation of disease-etiology-it is now known, must be sought in disturbances of our surroundings, or in defective inherited tendencies. How immeasurable is the distance which separates the mental attitude of the inquirer of to-day, engaged in tracing the causation of an epidemic disease, from the mystics who bewildered themselves with the notions of malignant spirits, of evil humours, or even recently of epidemic waves."

To illustrate especially the advance we have made in our knowledge of etiology, I would select but a single point, that is, the practice of arresting the diffusion of disease by limiting the spread of contagion.

This practice was illustrated on a gigantic scale by the Rinderpest, or Cattle Plagne, which appeared in this country in 1865. Towards the end of June in that year a few bullocks, imported from Revel, bringing with them the infection of cattle plague, were sold in the Metropolitan Cattle Market. From this single centre the disease spread step by step throughout the country until it had established 25,000 foci of infection within the year. Then a remedy was applied: all traffic of cattle was stopped; all infected beasts were killed, and all healthy bovine animals with which they had come in contact. The pestilence was stayed, but not until 300,000 animals had died or been killed, with a loss to the country, at a low estimate, of three millions sterling, and an indirect loss to the same amount. All this might have been spared if it had been possible for the authorities, by a better knowledge of the nature of the disease, and of its remedy, to extinguish it at its single primary focus by the sacrifice of a small number of animals at the cost of a few pounds. (5)

The system of preventive treatment which thus proved so successful in the case of these lower animals has, as far as

 into some conformity with the misleading circumstances by which they are surrounded; but their interior character and sentiment are guided by higher views of life and duty. Their motives and desires may be sincere, good, and earnest, but the period may be inimical to their right development. Excellence of interior character has not unfrequently existed in corrupt times, and men yearning to do right have been seduced into courses that were wrong. The apostle has put this fact in a striking light. "The good," says he, "that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do." So far, then, as such persons are interiorly good, they possess the qualifications for heaven; but the corrupting circumstances with which they have come in contact on the earth, have exercised an unfavourable influence upon their characters, and this, on the death of their body, they will take with them into the world of spirits; it is as a prison to their inner life, and, for a time, it will be to them as a grave, in which their more interior excellence will be entombed. This is the grave out of which they will have to come before they can enter into "the holy city." To bring their interior love of goodness into freedom, and to effect its separation from that with which it disagrees, is the work of judgment. They then, who will carefully reflect upon these considerations, will find no difficulty in rationally understanding what is related concerning the bodies of the saints. But without admitting the existence of an intermediate spiritual world, and viewing it as the place of judgment, the whole narrative is entirely beyond the reach of any satisfactory explanation.

We might dwell upon other evidences, and prolong this investigation to a greater length; but we think suffi-

 Nor would it be satisfactory for me to pass over the subject of vaccination, the procedure by which that dire disease small-pox can be prevented or greatly modified. One fact is worth a shipload of arguments,' and therefore it will be sufficient to say that Ireland, stated to be the best-vaccinated country in the world, is practically at this moment free from small-pox; that since 1874 not a single case of death from variola has occurred in the German army, which dwells in the midst of a population protected by compulsory re-vaccination; whilst on the other hand we see at this moment in the city of Montreal, unprotected by vaccination, a frightful mortality. It is painful to contemplate such a consequence of ignorance or neglect; but, as Mr. Simon said in his letter on vaccination to the President of the General Board of Health, 'it goes with the credulity which characterises the present age to be incredulous of proved truth. Alike in rejecting what is known, and in believing what is preposterous, the rights of private foolishness assert themselves. It is but the same impotence of judgment which shrinks from embracing what is real, and lavishes itself upon clouds of fiction.'

I feel, Sir, that it would be almost impertinent in me to address such an audience as I see before me on the details of the improvements in our knowledge of pathology and the allied subjects, the diagnosis and treatment of disease. But when I recall the views quoted by me in an earlier portion of this address, as to the absence of progress in our science and the hopelessness of its future when I recall that these opinions have been held not only by men of science but by many others, I feel it to be one of the duties of the present occasion to indicate our real position in definite language, the echo of which may possibly be heard beyond these walls. It will, at least, reach the ears of some who will hear with satisfaction that the reproaches raised against us have no longer any

 be sworn before my Lord Mayor, that John and his nineteen men in buckram have abused me worse than a dog; for they told you that I play'd fast and go loose with the late parson and him in that old dispute of theirs about the reading desk, and that I made matters worse between them, and not better."

Of this charge Trim declared he was as innocent as the child that was unborn—that he would be book-sworn he had no hand in it.

He produced a strong witness, and moreover insinuated, that John himself, instead of being angry for what he had done in it, had actually thanked him Aye, Trim, says the wight in the plush breeches, but that was, Trim, the day before John found thee out. Besides, Trim, there is nothing in that; for the very year that you was made town's pounder, thou knowest well, that I both thanked thee my self, and moreover gave thee a good warm supper for turning John Lund's cows and horses out of my hard corn close, which, if thou hadst not done, (as thou told'st me), I should have lost my whole crop; whereas John Lund and Thomas Patt, who are both here to testify, and are both willing to take their oaths on't, that thou thyself was the very man who set the gate open—and after all, it was not thee, Trim, 'twas the blacksmith's poor lad who turned them out—so that a man may be thanked and rewarded too for a good turn which he never did, nor ever did intend.

Trim could not sustain this unexpected stroke—so Trim marched off the field without colours flying, or his horn sounding, or any other ensigns of honour whatever.—Whether after this Trim intends to rally a second time—or whether he may not take it into his head to claim the victory—none but Trim him self can inform you.

However, the general opinion upon the whole is this, that, in three several pitch'd battles, Trim has been so trimm'd as never disastrous hero was trimm'd before.

 upon a plan, which would make quite another creature of me.

I waited, without much impatience, to hear what this preface led to; but I was soon awakened to more lively sensations, when she acquainted me, that her intention was to prove my birthright, and to claim, by law, the inheritance of my real family!

It would be impossible for me to express my extreme consternation, when she thus unfolded her scheme. My surprise and terror were equally great. I could say nothing; I heard her with a silence which I had not the power to break.

She then expatiated very warmly upon the advantages I should reap from her plan; talked in a high style of my future grandeur, assured me how heartily I should despise almost every body and every thing I had hitherto seen, predicted my marrying into some family of the first rank in the kingdom; and, finally, said I should spend a few months in Paris, where my education and manners might receive their last polish.

She enlarged also upon the delight she should have, in common with myself, from mortifying the pride of certain people, and shewing them, that she was not to be slighted with impunity.

In the midst of this discourse, I was relieved by a summons to tea. Madame Du-

 val was in great spirits; but my emotion was too painful for concealment, and every body enquired into the cause. I would fain have waved the subject, but Madame Duval was determined to make it public. She told them, that she had it in her head to make something of me, and that they should soon call me by another name than that of Anville, and yet that she was not going to have the child married, neither.

I could not endure to hear her proceed, and was going to leave the room; which, when Lady Howard perceived, she begged Madame Duval would defer her intelligence to some other opportunity; but she was so eager to communicate her scheme, that she could bear no delay, and therefore they suffered me to go, without opposition. Indeed, whenever my situation or affairs are mentioned by Madame Duval, she speaks of them with such bluntness and severity, that I cannot be enjoined a task more cruel than to hear her.

I was afterwards acquainted with some particulars of the conversation by Miss Mirvan, who told me that Madame Duval informed them of her plan with the utmost complacency, and seemed to think herself very fortunate in having suggested it; but soon after, she accidentally betrayed, that she had been instigated to the scheme by

 her relations the Branghtons, whose letters, which she received to-day, first mentioned the proposal. She declared that she would have nothing to do with any round-about ways, but go openly and instantly to law, in order to prove my birth, real name, and title to the estate of my ancestors.

How impertinent and officious, in these Branghtons, to interfere thus in my concerns! You can hardly imagine what a disturbance this plan has made in the family. The Captain, without enquiring into any particulars of the affair, has peremptorily declared himself against it, merely because it has been proposed by Madame Duval, and they have battled the point together with great violence. Mrs. Mirvan says she will not even think, till she hears your opinion. But Lady Howard, to my great surprise, openly avows her approbation of Madame Duval's intention: however, she will write her reasons and sentiments upon the subject to you herself.

As to Miss Mirvan, she is my second self, and neither hopes nor fears but as I do. And as to me,—I know not what to say, nor even what to wish; I have often thought my fate peculiarly cruel, to have but one parent, and from that one to be banished for ever;—while, on the other fide, I have but too well known and felt the propriety

202 possession of their local sovereignties, and to have contented themselves with enforcing an acknowledgment of their paramount dignity, and exacting in times of emergency pecuniary and military aid. Such was the case with the Pandya and Chola kingdoms, which were governed in the reign of Krishna Raya of Vijayanagar by their own kings. A war broke out between Vira Sek'hara, the Chola, and Chandra Sek'hara, or Chandra Kumara, the Pandya prince, in which the Madura monarch being worsted, he was compelled to fly his country, and, in this distress, had recourse to Krishna Raya for protection and assistance. An opportunity of this nature was not likely to be disregarded by the Vijayanagar court, and Nagama Nayaka, overseer of the royal cattle, was despatched with a considerable force to reinstate the Madura prince, and punish the ambitious presumption of the sovereign of Tanjore. The task was easily effected; and Chandra Sek'hara seated on the throne of his ancestors. His restoration, however, was but nominal, as Nagama Nayaka retained the sovereign authority in his own hands, keeping the king of Madura in confinement, and disregarding the commands and menaces even of Krishna Raya, who found his successful general converted into a rebel.

The valour and conduct of Nagama Nayaka rendering the officers of Vijayanagar reluctant to undertake his chastisement, he seemed likely to maintain his newly acquired authority in perfect impunity. To the surprise of the Vijayanagar court, however, an antagonist to Nagama was found in the person of his only son, Viswanath; a son whom he had performed a pilgrimage to Benares to obtain, and whom he had left for education, or who had not improbably been detained as a hostage, at Vijayanagar. As Viswanath Nayak had given many proofs of his military talents, and as his professions of loyalty were credited, he was accordingly intrusted with the unnatural duty of revenging his prince upon a father, and marched with a strong force against Nagama. The father was defeated and taken prisoner, and, according to one account, delivered to Krishna Raya by Viswanath, who replaced the legitimate king of Madura on the throne, and returned triumphantly to Vijayanagar, where, in consideration of the merits of the son, the

And yet, you may much better imagine than I can express, the internal anguish which sometimes oppresses my heart, when I reflect upon the strange indifferency, that must occasion a father never to make the least enquiry after the health, the welfare, or even the life of his child!

O Sir, to me, the loss is nothing!—greatly, sweetly, and most benevolently have you guarded me from feeling it;—but for him, I grieve indeed!—I must be divested, not merely of all filial piety, but of all humanity, could I ever think upon this subject, and not be wounded to the soul.

Again I must repeat, I know not what to wish: think for me, therefore, my dearest Sir, and suffer my doubting mind, that knows not which way to direct its hopes, to be guided by your wisdom and unerring counsel.

Dear Sir, Cannot give a greater proof of the high opinion I have of your candour, than by the liberty I am now going to take, of presuming to offer you advice, upon a subject concerning which you have so just a claim to act for yourself; but I know you have too unaffected a love of justice, to be partially tenacious of your own judgment.

Madame Duval has been proposing a scheme which has put us all in commotion, and against which, at first, in common with the rest of my family, I exclaimed: but, upon more mature consideration, I own my objections have almost wholly vanished.

This scheme is no other than to commence a law-suit with Sir John Belmont, to prove the validity of his marriage with Miss Evelyn; the necessary consequence of which proof, will be securing his fortune and estate to his daughter.

And why, my dear Sir, should not this be? I know that, upon first hearing, such a plan conveys ideas that must shock you; but I know, too, that your mind is supe-

 rior to being governed by prejudices, or to opposing any important cause on account of a few disagreeable attendant circumstances.

Your lovely charge, now first entering into life, has merit which ought not to be buried in obscurity. She seems born for an ornament to the world. Nature has been bountiful to her of whatever she had to bestow; and the peculiar attention you have given to her education, has formed her mind to a degree of excellence, that in one so young I have scarce ever seen equalled. Fortune alone has hitherto been sparing of her gifts; and she, too, now opens the way which leads to all that is left to wish for her.

What your reasons may have been, my good Sir, for so carefully concealing the birth, name, and pretensions of this amiable girl, and forbearing to make any claim upon Sir John Belmont, I am totally a stranger to; but, without knowing, I respect them, from the high opinion that I have of your character and judgment: but I hope they are not insuperable; for I cannot but think, that it was never designed for one who seems meant to grace the world, to have her life devoted to retirement.

Surely Sir John Belmont, wretch as he has shown himself, could never see his accomplished daughter, and not be proud to

 own her, and eager to secure her the inheritance of his fortune. The admiration she met with in town, though merely the effect of her external attractions, was such, that Mrs. Mirvan assures me, she would have had the most splendid offers, had there not seemed to be some mystery in regard to her birth, which, she was well informed, was assiduously, though vainly, endeavoured to be discovered.

Can it be right, my dear Sir, that this promising young creature should be deprived of the fortune and rank of life to which she is lawfully entitled, and which you have prepared her to support and to use so nobly? To despise riches, may, indeed, be philosophic, but to dispense them worthily, must surely be more beneficial to mankind.

Perhaps a few years, or, indeed, a much shorter time, may make this scheme impracticable: Sir John, though yet young, leads a life too dissipated for long duration; and, when too late, we may regret that something was not sooner done; for it will be next to impossible, after he is gone, to settle or prove any thing with his heirs and executors.

Pardon the earnestness with which I write my sense of this affair; but your charming ward has made me so warmly her friend,

1837] therefore, the southern portion of the peninsula was parcelled out amongst a number of petty chiefs, scarcely to be dignified even as commanders of banditti; The state of the countries, and the characters of their Collaries find their other inhabitants, are well described in History; and their unaltered condition, at a period a little subsequent, is concisely and clearly described by. The extent and dreary aspect of the thickets, as well as the ferocious manners of the people, are also the subject of frequent and interesting description by the members of the Catholic missions, which were sent to this part of India between the end of the seventeenth and the middle of the eighteenth century. See Lettres Edifiantes et Curieuses, vols. x to xv. The Collars have several peculiar customs contrary to those of the Hindus, particularly the frequency of remarrying allowed to the women, either upon voluntary separation from their husbands, or their death. This custom exists with very few exceptions (MS. Accounts of the Collaries, 25, 26). The pre-eminent power and stability of the tondiman, as the principal Poligar chief is called, has introduced a bias to Hindu habits; and his wives having sometimes been known to sacrifice themselves on the funeral pile, the fashion has gained ground in his dominions. The Collars are chiefly worshippers of Siva and Kali. They are not very rigid in their diet, drinking spirits and eating flesh and fish. The lax observance of the Hindu practices, which prevailed formerly amongst these tribes to a greater extent than at present, may partly furnish a reason to believe that the extensive proselytism effected by the Madura missionaries in these districts was not altogether a fiction. It appears, indeed, that amongst the thirty thousand Christians under the Madura mission, was included a considerable portion of the calaris, or thieves. "Je me mis sous la conduite de ce guide qui me fit bientôt quitter le grand chemin pour entrer dans le pays de la caste des voleurs. On la nomme ainsi parce que ceux qui la composent faisoient autrefois metier de voler sur les grands chemins. Quoique la plupart de ces gens-la se soient faits Chretiens, et qu'ils ayent aujourd'hui horreur de l'ombre même du vol. Ils ne laissent pas de retenir leur ancien nom, et les voyageurs n'osent encore passer par leurs forêts. Les premiers missionaires de Maduré furent assez heureux de gagner l'estime de cette caste de sorte qu'à present il n'y a guerès de lieu, ou nous soyons mieux reçus et plus en sureté que dans leurs bois." — Du Père au Père le, Decembre 1700, vol. x. p. 160. their predatory followers preferring a system of insidious pilfering to open plunder, and rarely venturing, without decided superiority of number or position, to face an enemy in the field. Too indolent to till the soil, too insecure to desire fixed property, they lived by hunting and robbery, and were, therefore, but little disposed to check the luxuriance of rank vegetation, which yielded them at once subsistence and shelter. It is not surprising, therefore, that the countries which the Poligars occupied should have been overrun with inhospitable and noxious forests; and, it may be concluded, that had not a wise and powerful policy interfered to enforce the habits of social life, the fine districts to the south of the Kaveri, most admirably fitted by nature to support an industrious population, would have reverted to the state in which tradition describes them long anterior to Christianity, and would once more have become a suitable domicile for none but the goblins of Ravana, or the apes of Hanuman.

lightning grows upon the sky like a tumultuous thorn tree of fire. The thunder grumbles with interrupted cadences, and then, joyful as a poet, hits the long, grave, reverberating period at last, repeats it triumphantly, and muttering dies away. The pheasants in the woods have got over their alarm and have ceased to crow, and for a time the heavy perpendicular rain submerges the meadow and farmhouse and mid-field oak and the steep downs with their cloudy woods; the birds are still.

Then the rain wastes away. I can count the drops on the broad burdock leaves; and the evening sun comes through horizontally; and it is good to be afoot and making for something remote, I know not why. Each meadow shines amid its encircling hedges like a lake of infinitely deep emerald. On the dark red ploughland the flints glitter with constellated or solitary lights. In the sweet copses, where the willow wren sings again in the highest branches, the thorn foliage is so bright that the dark stems are invisible. The purple oak tops reach wonderfully into the sombre, bluish sky, and over them the wood pigeons turn rapidly from darkness to splendour—from splendour to darkness, as they wheel and clap their wings. The cuckoos shout again; first one, so far off

Rh the moon shall be as the light of the sun, seven times that of the day, when He shall heal the anguish of His people, and do away with the pain of His stroke." Now "the pain of the stroke" means that inflicted at the beginning upon disobedient man in Adam, that is, death; which [stroke] the Lord will heal when He raises us from the dead, and restores the inheritance of the fathers, as Isaiah again says: "And thou shalt be confident in the Lord, and He will cause thee to pass over the whole earth, and feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob thy father." This is what the Lord declared: "Happy are those servants whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching. Verily I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself, and make them to sit down [to meat], and will come forth and serve them. And if He shall come in the evening watch, and find them so, blessed are they, because He shall make them sit down, and minister to them; or if this be in the second, or it be in the third, blessed are they." Again John also says the very same in the Apocalypse: "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection." Then, too, Isaiah has declared the time when these events shall occur; he says: "And I said, Lord, how long? Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses be without men, and the earth be left a desert. And after these things the Lord shall remove us men far away (longe nos faciet Deus homines), and those who shall remain shall multiply upon the earth." Then Daniel also says this very thing: "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of those under the heaven, is given to the saints of the Most High God, whose kingdom is everlasting, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." And lest the promise named should be understood as referring to this time, it was declared to the prophet: "And come thou, and stand in thy lot at the consummation of the days."

150 to these from the nations, whom also the Spirit terms "the islands" (both because they are established in the midst of turbulence, suffer the storm of blasphemies, exist as a harbour of safety to those in peril, and are the refuge of those who love the height [of heaven], and strive to avoid Bythus, that is, the depth of error), Jeremiah thus declares: "Hear the word of the Lord, ye nations, and declare it to the isles afar off; say ye, that the Lord will scatter Israel, He will gather him, and keep him, as one feeding his flock of sheep. For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and rescued him from the hand of one stronger than he. And they shall come and rejoice in Mount Zion, and sliall come to wliat is good, and into a land of wheat, and wine, and fruits, of animals and of sheep; and their soul shall be as a tree bearing fruit, and they shall hunger no more. At that time also shall the virgins rejoice in the company of the young men: the old men, too, shall be glad, and I will turn their sorrow into joy; and I will make them exult, and will magnify them, and satiate the souls of the priests the sons of Levi; and my people shall be satiated with my goodness." Now, in the preceding book I have shown that all the disciples of the Lord are Levites and priests, they who used in the temple to profane the Sabbath, but are blameless. Promises of such a nature, therefore, do indicate in the clearest manner the feasting of that creation in the kingdom of the righteous, which God promises that He will Himself serve.

4. Then again, speaking of Jerusalem, and of Him reigning there, Isaiah declares, "Thus saith the Lord, Happy is he who hath seed in Zion, and servants in Jerusalem. Behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall rule with judgment." And with regard to the foundation on which it shall be rebuilt, he says: "Behold, I will lay in order for thee a carbuncle stone, and sapphire for thy foundations; and I will lay thy ramparts with jasper, and thy gates with crystal, and thy wall with choice stones: and all thy children shall be taught of God, and great shall be the peace of thy

ND as conditions stood, the extraordinary economic and social inexperience of the Griffiths—Asa and Elvira—dovetailed all too neatly with his dreams. For neither Asa nor Elvira had the least knowledge of the actual character of the work upon which he was about to enter, scarcely any more than he did, or what it might mean to him morally, imaginatively, financially, or in any other way. For neither of them had ever stopped in a hotel above the fourth class that catered to other than individuals of their own low financial level. That there could be any other forms of work or contact than those involved in carrying the bags of guests to and from the door of a hotel to its office, and back again, for a boy of Clyde's years and temperament, never occurred to them. and it was naïvely assumed by both that the pay for such work must of necessity be very small anywhere, say five or six dollars a week, and so actually below Clyde's deserts and his years.

And in view of this, Mrs. Griffiths, who was more practical than her husband at all times, and who was intensely interested in Clyde's economic welfare, as well as that of her other children, was actually wondering why Clyde should of a sudden become so enthusiastic about changing to this new situation, which, according to his own story, involved longer hours and not so very much more pay, if any. To be sure, he had already suggested that it might lead to some superior position in the hotel, some clerkship or other, but he did not know when that would be, and the other had promised rather definite fulfillment somewhat earlier—as to money, anyhow.

But seeing him rush in on Monday afternoon and announce that he had secured the place and that forthwith he must change his tie and collar and get his hair cut and go back and report, she felt better about it. For never before had she seen him so enthusiastic about anything, and it was something to have him more content with himself—not so moody, as he was at times.

 that the character, without the notes, of the song is recognised; then another with a wild clearness in its voice as if the rainy air aided it; and then one just overhead, in the luminous grey branches of an oak, so that it can be heard trying hard and enjoying its own strength. The hills rejoice with long shadows and yellow light; the tall hares stretch themselves and gallop. The little pools hum pleasantly as the rain drips from their overhanging brier and bramble into the leaden water with bright splash. And in our own muscles and hearts the evening strives to form an aspiration that shall suit the joy of the hills, the meadows, the copses and their people. We will go on, they say; we will go on and on, through the beeches on the hill and up over the ridge and down again through the grey wet meadows and to the old road between hawthorn and guelder-rose at the foot of the downs; and still on, not as before, but out of time and space, until we come—home—to some refuge of beauty and serenity in the heart of the immense evening. And so we will, though we shall be wise to find our achievement in the rapture of walking, or in the short rest upon a gate where we may surprise the twilight at her consecrating task. It is well, too, to talk, not to walk silently and weave such dreams as will make our host to-night intolerable; or if not to talk, then to sing some old song whose melody finds a strange fitness to our minds, in spite of the words, as for example—
