As usual in such cases. there was very little cool reasoning, and very much passionate declamation. The first as- tonishment had given place to conjec- ture, which yielded in turn to dogmatic judgmentsâ€"noquiescing or condemning, as the self-constituted judges happened to be favorable or adverse to the cause of the minister. When the first Sabbath atter‘the arrest came, and the church was closed be- cause the pulpit was unoccupied, the cause the pulpit was unc dispersed congregation. hm vision of the absent pastor discussed the mailer anew. and disputed. and {ell' out evei‘. Parties formed for the minister, and party high. This sermon bore rather hard (by pointed allusions) upon the great eleva- tion and sudden downfall of the cele- brated minister. and, in consequence, delighted one portion of the audience and enraged the‘other. The last-mm- uoned charged the new preacher \\'lth envy, hatred, and malice. and all un- charitableness, besides the wish to rise on the ruin of his unfortunate prede- cessor, and they went home in high in- dignation, resolved not to set foot with- in the parish church again until the honorable acquittal of their own beloved pastor should put all his enemies. per- secutors and slanderers to shame.

The child had been orphaneJ from her birth. and when but u few days old had been received into the “Children's Home." Marian never had a favorite among her children. but this little wait was so completely orphaned, so desolate and destitute, and withul so puny. fragile and lifeless that Marian took her to ho:- own heart. day and night, imparting; from her own fine vital temperament the warmth and vigor that nourished the perishng little human blossom in life and health.

But after a few seconds Marian stooped and pick. ed the paper up and read the long wonderâ€"mongering aftall‘. in which all that had been and all that had seemed, as well as many things that could neither be nor seem, were related at length, or conjectured or suggested. It began by announcing the arrest of the Rev.
