Why did Melicent love Clinton 7 Looking out upon the moonlit landscape, after all the town had retired to rest, and when scarcely a light twinkled, even in the upper windows of the orderly houses, Meli- cent asked herself this question, and failed toflnd a satisfactory answer. But, in sooth how could she expect one ? Has not the problem of the eccentricity of woman’s fondness been unexplained since the world began 7 Why did the goddess love the mortal Endimyon? Why did Juliet love that tearful man Romeo? Why did Doro- thea love Ladislaw ? Why did Hester Prynne love the vacillating and cowardly Dimmesdale? Why did Henrietta Went- worth love the craven-hearted Monmouth? It is impossible to assign a reason. But noble women have ever been found to cher- ish the weaklings of the‘earth. Perhaps it is the virile part in the feminine character that creates this peculiarity. Woman. as well as man, loyes to protect. Clinton, walking homeward aoross the fields, was thinking of the some thing, though his thoughts followed a different groove. If he had dared, he would have asked Melioent to come with him to a. distant land, where none knew their story, and where they might live at peace. But he had not dared. In her unsuspecting, innocent presence he could not have breathed so unholy a proposition. Think- ing thus intently, and with his eyes fixed upon the ground, he did not see, until its shadow touched his foot,& tall figure which stood in his way. When he became aware of it he started violently. It was Mrs. Camliridge. “ Good-evening 1" she said mookingly. “Did you think to escape me? Didn’t you know my patience was untiring? I have been waiting for you since seven, and I should have waited if you had not come till midnight." “ Good-Evening,” said Clinton, coldly, and attempting to pass her. “It is late, and} {nqst go}; home.” " Good wife, I’ve just been thinking a. bit, Nothin has done very well, this year ; Money is ound to be hard to getâ€" Evetything’s sure to be very dear, How the cattle are going to be fed, How we‘ve tried to keep the boys at school, In a kind of debt and credit sum I can't make balance by my rule."

Then he changed his mind, tore up the soiled sheet, and threw it from him. He did this many times. Soon the floor was strewed with fragments of paper. But he could not satisfy himself, and still the mocking crowd of speechless fiends kept up their graeeless and ill-natured merriment around him. Twenty times he wrote, “ Dear friend, before I enter Charon’s inhospitable boat I must speak to you once more, if only by letter.” Twenty times he dashed down, “My love, my Melieent, farewell." Twenty times he began, “My dear Miss Du Lysâ€"This letter is merely to apologize for my insolence, and to bid you good-bye." But nothing suflicsd him, and the mouthing crowd about him gam- bolled and leaped among the scattered papers, and twisted them into ropes, and folded them into shrouds, and elbowed one mother, and gesticulated at the human fool who sat gazing at them in his fevered "Oh, Meliceut! Melicent!” he moaned. Regret clung bitterly about his heart. He was sore laden, and the presences around him jeered with impious delight. Then hevmoun’ted the stairs, and banged the door of the one spacious apartment that the little shooting-box contained, and which Clinton. like his predecessor, was accustomed to use both as bedchamber and sitting-room. Here he threw himself into a chair by the writing-table, and, leaning his head upon his folded arms, remained for a long time profoundly silent. He rose at last, for something seemed to impel him to move. Strange forms seemed hovering round him. The place was full of shapes. The dimmest corners of the room seemed toghelter them. To his excited imagina- tion weird little goblins peered at him from every angle. Every oranny in the walls seemed to harbor a grinning manakin. ‘The air was loud with voiceless hootings; the place was alive with pointing fingers. The uncouth crew seemed to prance and caper in a hideous delight ; their elfish sides seemed to shake with a savage mirth. They appeared glad to have been resusci- tated out of the oobwebs of past ages to gibe and stare at a man who was disgraced in his own sight. “ Aha!" they seemed to sh riek, without utteranceâ€"" ‘You owl l you idiotl you gaping imbecile! You are caught in such a humiliation as no man can endure and live I" And then they seemed to yell with infernal spite, and to burst into peals of dreadful laughter. “ I did not suppose it, but I believe you are eepeble of anything, Will you acknow- ledge me and your son ?” “ I will not,” he repeated. “ Then I ehull take my own course. Good-night.” She began to move away, but Clinton laid his hand on her mm, “ What are you going to do ?” he said. “ The first thing tomorrow 1 shall go to Mr. Du Lye and tell him the Whole story." “ Mt.

At all events, it W111 be known before nightfall that Sir Oliver Clinton is a married man.” “ They won’t believe you.” " But they will investigate and I have proofs." , “ Why have you chosen this moment to harass me,” asked he. “ Nothing, you blackguatd!” she cried, in exceedmg contempt. “ I am your wife, and nothing'but 3our acknowledgment of meLwilLI accept.” The justneas of the epithet she used stung him to the quick. His face was livid with ungovernabie fury. Seiziug the woman’s shoulder, he shook her vehemently. He was ahoked With rage, and his encum- tioas were scarcely coherent. After a. moment, Mrs. Cn.mbridge wrested herself from his grasp, and again confronted him. “ I will not move till you promiae to acknowledge me and little Oliver,” she perslated. "He is you: own son, remem- ber l” “ I will 11013." “I agree not to annoy you afterwards. Acknowledge me in the taxes of the world, and I will go my ways. Let me puma one day and night at Balm-out, and than I will leave you forever." “ I will not.” “ Oliver, you are a. fool! You can‘t marry Miss Du Lys 1” Mrs. Cambridge slunk away abashed. She was in the right. and he was in the wrong, but at that moment it seemed as it he were a righteous judge and she a. culprit. Almost sobbing, she sped back to the Look house. She had triumphed, but her tri- umph set uneasily upon her. She had loved Clinton once, and now she had made him miserable. Should she not write him a note on the morrow, telling him that she would forego her rights, and remain in seclusion yet a. little longer, if only he would quit Belmont, and see Miss Du Lys no more? But she did not write it. Instead, she went with shaded candle to look at her sleeping boy. CHAPTER IX.

Then he rushed from the spot shouting for aid. “‘Allelulajl" sang the remote echo, taig§1y._ Th'e [ark continued his song, but the Eggter hym}: )gad gamed. “ Onl on I" cried his grandmother’s voice. " Oul on 1 01' we shall miss the Easter hymn 1” Then Clinton burst into the hymn again. “ ‘Now above the sky he‘s King,’ ” he sang, triumphantly, ecstatiomlly. “ Camel come I" thundered the weir. “ On I on I” urged his grandmother’s voice. " Onl onl lest we miss the Easter hymn I” ” ' Alleluia.‘ ” he sang in reply. Then he plunged into the black, terrible pool. He was a. good swimmer. But he did not rise again to the guinea. When Clinton rose he stood for a moment lookmg thoughtfully into the still waters. The lark above still enrolled gayly. The sky was oloudlees, the hay-scent sweet ; men’s voices still enlivened the air. But a. contorted, hideous face floated on the water and grimmaeed at him, and the weir called to him tumultuouely. “ Come! come 1” 1t raved. " Yes,” returned Clinton. “ Be sure it goe_s_ by ghe early mail." Clinton strode forward, and before he was aware he found himself singlng the Easter hymn in a. loud voice, and as he sang his goblin foes seemed to vanish. He had reached the deep dark pool above the Weir, and there he sat. down upon the grass, and busied himself with the laces of his boots. But he was not unfastening them. Was he inextricably lacing one boot, to the other ‘2 “ Thanking you' for the politeness you have ever shown me in all matters of busi- ness, “ That is done,” he said drawmg a long breath. “ I will go to bed.” He began to think of Mrs. Cam- bridge and her childrenâ€" he chil dren. How he hated them alll Was it possible that he had ever loved that woman 7 He remembered the night when he had seen her first. An acquaintance had conducted him to the disreputable little theatre where she played, and had bidden him admire that devilish pretty girl, Sally Cambridge. He remembered how she had presently appeared in boy’s clothes, and how she had oapered and sung, and made eyes, and how the audience had vociferoust applauded her, and how he had clapped and stamped and eucored from his conspicuous position in the stage-box. And he remembered how, at the end of the play, he had gone behind the scenes, and how he had been introduced to the devrlish pretty girl, and how they had supped to- gether, and how she had entertained him with her lively chatter and her arch repartees. Again his eyelids fell for an instant, and he groaned. He saw himself, like a poor, little moth, hovering round a fierce and unhallowed light, hurrying to that theatre night after night, and night after night applauding the Cambridge, and night after night being fascinated by her witticiems and drolleries over the supper for which he always paid. And then he knew himself to be madly in love with her, and he heard himself wildly beseech- ing her love in return ; and finally he saw himself wedding her at St. Jude's Church, in the City, with much exultation and exceeding joy. For a while he knew him. self to have been happy. He had been intoxxeated with a strange delirium. His finer sensibilities had slept, untilâ€"~untilâ€" He could not bear the thought. He pressed his hands upon his eyes, he strove to stop his ears. For the trickey goblins around him seemed to be bellowing triumphantly that he had played and lost, and to be chuckling with malevolent glee over his dis- may and mortifioation. He raised his voice now, and sung the long unheard verse, and as he sang the foul and sneering phantoms fell away, and seemed to dissolve into nothingness. Font o‘clock. Clinton was asleep. Six o’clock. Jennings was standing gravely by his master's disordered bed, acquainting him with the hour, and prof- fermg his assistance at the toilet. Clinton awoke with a start, and a full and instant recollection of the Vlsions of the night. He wondered whether he had awaked with the song of triumph on his lips. He scanned the servant's countenance. but it was imper- tutbably discreet. He dismissed the man pleasantly, and Jennings, as he quitted the room, espied the letter on the writing-table, and inquired if he should send it to the post.

I married her on the 13th of May, ten years ago, two days after my coming of age, at St Jude’s Church, in the City. “ I remain, yours sincerely. > “ OLIVER CLINTON.” He perused this epistle twice, then folded it neatly, enclosed it in an envelope. ana directed it: to the head of a. firm of solicitors in London. With a convulsive effort he conjured up the remembrance of the grand mother who had brought him up. He had thought her so venerable, he had thought life must seem so tediously long to her ; and now he knew that she had been barely sixty when she died. He recollected saying to her one day when he was alittle boy, “ Grannie, you are as old as any one can be. are you not ?” And he recolleoted how she had smiled and. kissed him and replied, “ When you are as old as I am, dear boy, you will know.” And now he would never be as old and he would never know I And the unholy shapes encircling him assumed more repulsive attitudes and performed more repellent gestures than ever, and the noise of their ungodly mirth sounded like the cannon on a thousand battle-fields. He turned impatiently to another thought. He remembered going to church with 1115 grandmother on a day when she had hast- ened him forward and hidden him be quick lest they should not be in time for the opening hymn. It had been Easter-day, and he had strained every nerve to run; but before they reached the lych-gate a gush of melody had been borne to them across the graves, and jubilant voices had sung aloudâ€" He had panted to join the heavenly anthem, and he had run with all his might, and slipped into his square pew, and gazed at the choir singing so exquisitely in the gallery.

Whether you look for him or not, you know where he is. He pushes the hassock away with a long, resonant groan of its own. Then he sits bolt upright, hooks his shoulder-blades over the back of the pew and hangs on. He is going to sit still this Sunday if it kills him. But the pew is too high, so he settles down a little. Then he putsahymn book between his back and the pew. Then he leans forward and lets it fall with a crash. Then he folds his arms; he half turns and lays one arm along the back of the pew. Suddenly he slides down and braces both knees against the back of the pew in front. Ah, that’s comfort. It lasts ninety seconds, when he abruptly straightens up, elevates both arms and hooks his elbows over the back of his pew. That isn’t what he wants; his legs are tired ; he reaches for the hasscck with both feet, upsets it, and in a frantic effort to stay it kicks against the pew. Covered with burning embarrassment he pulls out his watch twice or thrice without once looking at it. He folds his arms across his breast, then he crosses them behind his back ; he thrusts his hands into his pockets, he drops a Bible on the floor and puts his feet into his hat, and at times you look to see him go all to pieces, but he doesn’t. He stays together and comes back next Sunday, every limb and joint of him. THE WATCHER, His neck is fitted on a. globe socket and turns clear around. He sees everything that goes-on. The man who comes in late does not escape him, and it is vain for the tenor to think he got that little note to the alto conveyed between the leaves of the hymn book unobserved. The watcher saw it. He sees the hole in the quarter that Elder Skinner dropped in the plate. He sees that Deacon Slowbcy has but one cuff. If the door swings he looks around ; it the window moves noiselessly he looks up. He sees the stranger in his neighbor‘s pew, and he sees Brother Badman sitting away back under the gallery, furtively taking a chew of the inhibited fine-cut. All things that nobody wants him to see the watcher sees. He sees so much he has no time to listen. PEOPLE IN CHURCH. THE TIMEKEEPEB.
