A 1 “ I'll have s. pleasant talk with her, and show her what I’ll give her when she’s married, and take pleasure in seeing her pleasure,” Derregh tells herself nobly. Then she remembers that she has not fixed on anything to give Kathleen yet, and then the reflection that she literally has nothing here to give comes upon her as a. tempo- rary damper. “But I’ll have a. look tum mv dressing-08.36." she thinks, es ...., “.1--. 7 , into my dressing-ease," she thinks, as she walks up stairs with her country's fine faith in finding the very thing she is going to look for. But when she reaches her room her attention is diverted from her quest, for Kathleen comes to meet her, lugubrious too. A WORK OF BEFORMA‘I‘ION. "Now, Kathleen, come and tell me all your news, and let it pleasant, for I haven’t much that‘s pleasant to think about myself.” Darragh says, with a. smile that contradicts her words. She is hoping to avert the bursting of the storm which she sees is rising m Kathleen’s breast about something, and so halt appeals to the girl’s generosity n‘mke'tbe best of things; ‘ .hn u._u.. _I--.......L A... a -------- .v r v “ It's little that I have that’s pleasant to say coming from that kitchen now, Miss Darragh," Kathleen says, shaking her head doletully, as if the ways of that kitchen were more than she could bring herself to consider with resignation. “Phelim and Molly are just ye know swept out of the way in the swish of wather that Mrs. Pow- les is throwing over the rest of the dhirt! Oh! it’s a sad sight and that it is, Miss Darragh, in the kitchen; not one bit of comfort ; but Miss Powles going over everything with a mop and a pail as if those that had been before her hadn’t kept the lace clean and fit for lords and ladies, the ike of whom she's never-served in her life." “ If that's the worst she does we needn’t mind about her, Kathleen. Molloy never was good at scrubbing you know. English cooks like to have their kitchens clean, and as she’s doing the work we needn’t mind " But it's her tongue that goes faster than her mop, Miss Darragh, and the mop’s flying all over the place, so think what the tongue :11th be. and her sneers at her bet- ters, and she nothing but an odd Job woman got in to be servant to these that are not the real master and mistress here even. Said she to Molly, ‘ It your housemaids kept the living-rooms and the bedrooms no better than you have kept your kitchen,down on your knees you ought all to go and thank Heaven that you haven’t poisoned them all with your dhirt.’ Said Molly, ‘ When the gentry here want their carpets dusted they in 11 dance on them and do the work merrily; and as for the kitchen, I know the duty to his honor my master too well to waste the time in cleaning what’ll get dirty again directly.’ So she had her answer from Molly, you see, Miss Darragh ‘2” “ And what is Molly doing 7” “ What she’s always doing when she ain't HUSBAND’S RELATWNS, V1333 up yoB'r bill éfia sing] PUT UP YOUR BILL AND SING.

There is a little more talk between Dar- ragh and this girl friend of here who belongs to another class, but who cannot be truly described as either a “ humble” friend or a dependent. Kathleen has as much pride of race in her heart as the Honorable Miss Thynne has in hers, and she does not depend on any code favor, bounty. or good will in a subser- vientspirit. At the same time Kathleen can never be either gushing, presumptuous, l l you: nu v v. ________ or over familiar. ‘Ixfilw’fgc‘t’lrthe Cliddagh girl respects herself too thoroughly not to respggti othegg. .

An excursion to Arrsnmore l The mere thought of it, to be taken in such company, makes the light, bright heart of the Irish girl dance within her breast. Suddenly Darrsgh’s voice in schanged cadence rings out with mournful sweetness : “ I some time think that all of us Thynnes are destined to come to bad or untimely ends and these ends will come in places or by means of people we love; perhaps Mr. Arthur and I will be drowned in crossing to Arranmoâ€"” uv us-uu... “ Our Lady and the Saints forgive you for those words, Miss Darragh," Kathleen" interposes, reprehendingly. “When our end is to come it will come whether we’re in the places and with the people we love best or not; and it seems to me that no end can be bad or untimely. God orders it all,Mies Derragh, and He knows better when to take us than we can know when to go.” 1 4.1 17_LL1‘,... nn‘1rrn‘1 IN 5v. “You're a good girl. Kathleen, and you can never come to a bad end whatever the ‘ rest of us may do’” Darragh says, leaping ‘ up and kissing Kathleen’s broad fair brow. “ Now go away and remember my Arran- more scheme, and pray that we may carry it through happily and safely.” “Yes, Miss Darragh,” Kathleen says, with cheerful obedience ; and than she goes away, bridling a little as she passes within a bow-shot oi the kitchen window at the recollection of the indignities which she has suflered there. In a few days news comes from the master and his wife, which has the effect of altering current arrangements at Dar- ragh. Mr. Robert Annealey writes to Dolly to bid the latter prepare to receive Mrs. Lepel and her daughters without delay. . “ We must do all we can to. cheer and amuse poor mamma,” the bride writes; “something will be saved from the wreck for her and the girls, Robert thinks. Indeed, he assures me there will be enough for them to live on comfortably in London and civilization; but until we know what their actual income will be, they must be content, poor things, to put up with us in the West Irish Barbary to which Robert is oonsigning us. I hope Darragh will remain. I shan’t feel quite isolated from all decent society while the Honorable Miss Thynne is our guest; besides, as Robert says, it will look well in the neighborhood to be on good terms with the family who once owned our place. As for the rest, Ronald is always agreeable, but Mr. Mackiver never got on well with my family in their prosperity ; whether or not he will prove more pleasant to them now they’re in adversity remains to be provedâ€"it he stays l” “ Which means that Marian thinks he had better go,” Dolly says laughingly but dolefully to Darragh ; “ it isn‘t pleasant either to have to tell any one that he or she is detestable to some one else, and yet that’s just what Marian expects me to tell Mr. Mackiver now, and assign it as a reason for his going.”_ .- . - Arararh r-“ lvl nun v...

It doesn’t; weigh on it a. bit.” " Then what are you afraid of ?" Dolly asks, straightforwardly ; but Darragh’a mood ot confidence and gravity has passed away. She is inclined to laugh now at fears and anxieties for the future, and rather astounds Dolly by braakiug in to an uncalled-for declaration oi 1r. and satir- factinn in some of Arthuir’a late remarks in the House. - “ Don’t you wish when you read Arthur’s speeches and articles that the man you’re going to marry held the pen instead of the sword ‘2” she asks triumphantly, and Dolly answers decidedlyâ€" . “ No, I don't ; I like the two services, and I've always been accustomed to hear them well spoken of. and to see them made much of.

"'"fiéc Dolly knows nothing at this state of being yeti. CHAPTER XV. TWO VIEWS OF THE CASE. It comes about, after all, that Mr. Mack- iver has that personal interview with Robert Annealey [or which his soul craves; for Mr. Annealey deems in expedient to precede his wife and her family in order to assure himself that all things fire arranged for exacting Marion’s comfort. n .n,L He is staggered and annoyed at first, when Mr. Mackiver approaches the subject of the borrowed money and the way in which it is invested in the direct and down- right way in which it is his habit to deal with all matters. Mr. Annealey is annoyed with_§l)o}ly_e'ven. . _ . . , -,,A4A “ She had no right to betray my private affairs to the Mackivers, though she is going to marry Ronald. A family confidence should be observed sacredly; and if they put the screw on to-make he: break it, my poor girl won’t have a. very happy life with them.” This he says to himself, forgetting that Captain Mackiver has the first right to Dolly’s confidence now, and an indie- putable claim to know all that may affect the fortune of his future wife. “ Dear Robert, I want nothing of the kind, you're sure of that ; and Ronald will listen to me and be guided by me. As for Mr. Mackiver, you must be tolerant to his views; you know how rigorously business- like he is.”, “ I am not going to have him dictate the terms I am to make with my own sister. He talks as if he, and not I, were your guardian. I shall pay the interest regu- larly, and it Ronald wants to handle the capital as soon as he's married I suppose I shall find some way of paying it, what- ever the sacrifice may be; but you’re not married yet. and old Mackiver is outside his rights altogether in interfering.” “ Old Mackiver’a a meddlesome, merce- nary old was!” Mr. Annealey says to his sister, coming to her in atume the same evening of his arrival. “You have told him about that money of yours, it seems, and he wants me to give you 9. bill of sale on the property, in order that, it anything goes wrong with my affairs, you may come down and make sure of your money.” ‘ He speaks in a. deeply aggrieved and injured tone, and all Dolly's generous spirit revolts at the idea. of being given such a. hold over him. “ This is not the tone which Dolly has been anticipating, but she is great at making liberal allowances where she loves warmly and well. Accordingly now she reminds herself, and puts it as a plea before Mr. Mackiver, that Robert hes unex- pectedly had enormous responsibilities thrust upon him by the Lepell calamity. To Rona-1d she only says “ that he must promise her never to worry Robert about that money ;" and he accords the promise glibely enough, for want of money has never been one of the irksome trials under which Captain Maokiver has lebored as yet. The ork-ifl man” aééordingly takes 'his departure after uttering warnings that sounfi like propheciea._ u n.1,":- “ There is a. storm brewing in this land, Mr. Annesley,” he says, “ and if you take the advice of a man who knows the signs of the times, you’ll sell at a. sacrifice of a. little now, rather than remain to have your possessions laid waste for want of labor, and your life held ohesp by those who will regard you as the cause of the evils that are coming upon them through their own idleness and tollyz” u. 1 I“;:I:;€lfige-;iiling to shake my life and property upon the right-mindednesa and probity o! the tenants upon this estate,’: “alike if you will; but; dc ‘ster’s; she belongs to us very Elem; m - Be .‘K ' 5 3 '. i et-msthmg far .5511») ‘ tive before I 5"me aksflpluce.” sw is}; Mr. Anqgsley Bays stoutly, and Mr. Mack- iverjeplies; “To withdraw the money now means ruin to me,” Robert Anuesley says, pan»; sionately; “ if your son had been‘ ongagedi to Dolly when thls place 'was‘ offered me,7 I would have oopsultzed him. As it is, you must trust to my honor and discretion, or break off the match I" But though he speaks thus defiantly to Mr. Mackiver, he 1gives Ronald olégrly to understanfl that he has no desire to see the match broken off, no desire in fact, to see anything but (2116 most amicable arrange- ment continue to exist betweeh the two families. lwmaunvul " Dolly is a girl in a. thousand, and yeah a alueky fellow to have won her, Ronald; as for the money. that is all right; you know that as well as I do; if the worst comes I can always sell, and if I can carry out my plane for increasing the value of the property I shall be able to repay Dolly as ehe deserves to be repaid, and that will be something very much over and above the interest your father demands; but mean- time I can’t be worried, my plans need maturing in order to work well.” “I hope it won't interfere with your plan‘s to hear that I want to be married in May,” Ronald says. "May’s rather soon, isn’t it ‘2“ Robert Annealey says thoughtfully. .“ My wife will be in deep mourning still, and her poor mother will naturally shrink from the thoughts of anything like festivities; and on the other hand, I can’t allow my only sister to be married in a hole-and-eorner manner.” IIAZL WWI-luv..- “ I don’t care how you arrange it, but it must be arranged for May.” Captain Mack- iver says. Darregh has just been telling him a. legend of Arranmore, and somehow or other whenever Derregh has been hold- ing converse With him, he feels that it will be better for him to make all test between himself and Dolly soon. The legend is of That Eden where the immortal breve Dwell in a. land serene, Whose bovvers beyond the shining wave At sunset oft are seen‘. “ If you are good and lucky too, and it’s a. clear day the day we go to Arranmore, you may get a glimpse of O'Brasil,” she says, to hun. “And who’s ‘O’Brasil?”â€"a men or a. mountain?” mvuuvw-n‘ . “ Neither.

A (lever Discovery that Destroys the Value 01 the Mes. A very strong piece of evidence, which seems to favor the theory of the late if not the forged origin of the Shapira manuscript, has, the London colrespondent of the Men- ohester Guardian says, just become avail- able. In constructing the synagogue rolls the Jews had many stringent rules as to the Width of margin which they preserved and to other details of. precisiona An examination at the Shapiro fragments shows that although the text is manifestly written on the model of aHebrew syna- gogue scroll, yet these rules‘have been violated in some cases, and‘regarded'in others, as if the make: was not aware of the great importance of their ohservsnce. It now appears that instead of the central fold being smooth and even, and in order of the sheets, fold and sewn edge succeeding each other in regular order, the folds are uneven, and have in some cases been cut with a clean, sharp severance. It, moreover, appears that all scripta plena, even in the case of plural forms, are omitted, a discrepancy which in some respects exceeds even that of the Moabite stone in the neglect of grammati- cal properties. When with this neglect is combined the use of late words found only in the Targums and the Talmud, it invites a very grave consideration how such glaring neglect of philologic‘al and scrip- tcrial canons is to be reconciled with the genuine character of the manuscript. Even Mr. Shapira seems to be changing ground, and losing so much of his original confi- dence as to recognize the possibility of spurious manufacture. His contention is now that if the rolls are forgeries they have been purposely made to damage him in his business as a collector of antiquities, as was the case, he declares, with the Moabite pottery. The London Lancet combats the Jolly of some would-be improvers on Galen, who decry the use of salt as a food condiment because it is a mineral. rli‘he Lancet says that common salt, chloride of sodium, is the most widely distributed substance in the body; it exists in every fluid and in every solid; and not only is everywhere present, but in almost every part it consti- tutes the largest portion of the ash when any tissue is burnt. In particular it is a constant constituent of the blood, and it maintains in it a proportion that is almost wholly independent of the quantity that is consumed with the food. The blood will take up so much and no more, however much we may take with our food, and. on the other hand, if none be given, the blood parts with its natural quantity slowly and unwillingly. Nothing can demonstrate its value better than the fact that it albumen without salt is introduced into the intes- tines of an animal. no portion 0! it is absorbed, While it all quickly disappears it salt be added. The conclusion therefore is obvious that salt, being wholesome, and indeed necessary, should be taken in mode- rate quantities, and that abstention from it is likely to be injurious. The N. Y.
