How could they put you down to sit iu the hull? You must come iu and have some breakfast with us; Lidy Ooibtt will be delighted, I’m sure.” JIis senso of tho awkwardness of the meeting w ith the woman who was once to iiavo been his wife, and of the probable introduction which was to follow to the woman who was his actual wife, grew upon him, und made him speak a little hurriedly. Ellinor’s next words were a wonderful relief; and her soft, gentle way of speaking was like the touch of a cooling l>ulsaui. ‘‘Thank you. you must excuse me. I am come strictly ou business, otherwise I should never have thought of calling on you at such au hour. It is about poor Dixon.” “Ah! I thought as much!” said tho judge, binding her a chair, and sitting down himself, llo tried to compose his mind to business, but in spite of his ntrongtb of character and his present of- forts the remembrance of old times would come back at the sound of her voice, lie wondered if he was as much changed iu appearance as she struck him as being iu that lirst look of reooguitiun. After tho first glance ho rather avoided meeting her eyes. “I knew how much you would feel it. Some one at Hellingtord told me yon were abroad—iu Rome, I think. But you must not distress yourself unneccs- warily; tho seutenco is sure to be com muted to transportation or something equivalent. I was talking to the Home Secretary ahopt. it only lust uigbt. Lapse of time und subsequent good character quite preclude any idea of capital punish ment.” All the time that he said this he had other thoughts at the back of bis mind —some curiosity, a little regret, a i touch of remorse, a wondor how the meet- * ing (which of course would have to be lioiuetimej between Lady Corbet and El- linor would go off ; but ho spoke clearly enough on tho subject iu hand, and no outward mark of (instruction from it ap- Ho felt a little chagrined at her answer.

Get strong, and ho! shall come to see you. “ Ellinor answered; “I came to tell yon, what I suppose may bo told to any judge iu eonfideuce and full reliauce on his se crecy, that Abraham Dixon was not the murderer.” She stopped short, and choked a little. The judge lookod sharp!}’ at her. “Thou you know who whs?" said he. “Y -s,” she replied, with a low, steady voice, looking him full iu the faoe with sad, solemn eyes. Tno truth fiashod into his mind. He Ahaded his face, and did not speak for a minute or two. Then he snid, not look ing up, a little hoarsely, “This, then, was the shame you told me of long ago.” “Yes,” said she. Both sat quite still, quite silent, for some lime. Through the silence usharp, clear voice was heard speaking through tho folding-doors. “Take the kedgeree down, and tell tho cook to keep it hot for the judge. It is so tiresome people coming ou business here, as if the jndge had not hiu proper hours for being at Chambers." Ho got np hastily and went into the dining-room; but he had audibly some difficulty ia curbing bis wife’s irritation. When ho came back Ellinor said : “I urn afraid I ought not to have come here now.” “Oh, it’s ull nonsense !” said he, iu a tone of annoyance. “You’ve done quite right.” lie seated himself where he bad beeu before, and again half-covered his face with bis hand. “And Dixon kuew of this. I believe I must put the fact plainly to you—your father was the guilty person ? He mur dered Duuster ?” “Yes; if you call it murder. It was done by a blow, in the heat of passion No one can ever tell how Duuster always irritated papa,” said Ellinor, in a stupid, heavy way ; and theu she sighed. “How do you know this?” There was a kind of tender rohictsncti in the judge’s vo.ci as he put all these questions. Elli- nor had made up her mind beforehand that something like thorn must be asked, and must also bo answered; but she spoke like a sleep-walker. “I came into papa’s room just after he had struck Mr. Dunster the blow. IT was lying insensible, as we thought- dead, us ho really was.” “What was Dixou’s part in it? I must have known a good deul about it. Aud the horse-laucot that was found with his name upon it ?” “Pdpu went to wake Dixon, and he brought his Hearn—I suppose to try and bleed him. I have soid enough, have I not? I seem so confused. But X will answer any question to make it appear that Dixon is innocent.” The jndge had been noting all down. He sat still now without replying to her. Then he wrote rapidly, referring to his previous paper from time to time. In five minutes or so he read tho faots which Ellinor had stated, as ho now arranged them, in a legal and connected form. He just linked her one or two trivial ques tions ns he did so. Theu ho read it over to her aud asked her to sign it. She took up the pen aud held it, hesitating. ^ “This will never be made publio ?” said she “No; I shall take core that no one but tho Home Secretary sees it.'' “Thank you. I could not help it now it has come to this.” “There are not many men like Dixon,” said the judge, almost to himself, u he sealed the paper in an envelope. “No!” said Ellinor. “I never knew •ny one so faithful.” And just at the same moment the re flection on s leas faithful person that these words might seem to imply struck both of them, and each instinctively glanced at the other. “Ellinor!” said the judge, after a mo- ^ “W* are frienda, I hope?” K2-. ** qiirtljid sign of his feeling he went on talking, “Where are you living now?” “At East Chester.” “But yon como sometimes to town, don’t you? Let ns know always—when ever you come; and Lady Corbet shall call on you. Indeed, I wish you'd let me bring hor to see you to-day.” “Thunk yon. I am going straight back to Ilellingford ; at least ns soon us you can get tno the pardon for Dixon.” He half smiled at her iguoracce. “The pardon must be sent, to the sheriff, who holds the warrant for his execution, lint of course yon may have every assur ance that it shall be sent as soon as possi ble. It is just the same as if he had it now.” “Thank you very much," said Ellinor, rising. “Pray don’t go without breakfast. If you would rather not see Lady Corbet just now, it shall be sent in to you in this room, unless you have already break fasted.” “No, thank you; I would rather not. You are very kind, aud I am very glad to have seen you once again. There is juHt one thing more," said she, coloring a lit tle aud hesitating. “This note to you was found uuder papa’s pillow after his death ; some of it refera to pant things ; but I should be glud if you could think as kindly os you can of poor papa. Aud so—if you will read it—” lie took it and read it, not without ciuolion. Thou he laid it down on his table, and said, “Poor man! he must have suffered a grout deal for that night's work. And you, Ellinor, you have suffered too.” Yes, she had suffered; and he who spoke had beeu ouo of the instruments of her suffering, although he seemed for getful of it. She shook her bond a little for reply. Then she looked up at him— they were both standing at the time—aud said, “I thiuk I shall be happier now. I always knew it must be found out. Once more, good-by, and thank you. I may take this letter, I suppose?” said she, castiug envious, loving eyes ot hor fath er’s note, lying unregarded on the table. “Oh, certainly, certainly,” said he; and then he took hor hand. He held it while he locked into her face. He had thought it changed when he had first seen her, but it was now almost tho same to him as of yore. The sweet, sby oyer, the indicated dimple in the cheek, und some thing of fever had brought a faint piuk flush into her usually colorless cheeks. Married judge though he was, ho was not sure if she had not more oharuis for him still, iu her sorrow and hor sbabbiness, than the handsome, stately wife in the next room, whose looks had not been of the pleasuntest when bo had loft hor a few minutes bofore. He sighed a little regretfully as Elliuor went away. Ho had obtained the position he had si nig gled for and sacrificed for; but now he could not help wishing that tho slaugh tered creature laid on tho shrine of his ambition were alive again. The kodgeroe w as brought up again, smoking hot, but it remained untasted by him; and though lie appeared to be read ing tbe Times, he did not see n word of the distinct type. His wife, meanwhile, continued her compluiuts of tho untimely visitor, whose name he did not give to her iu its corrected form, ns ho was not anxious that she should have it in her power to identify tbo cull of this morning with a possible tuture acquaintance. ok tne the ot MIAl’TEU XIX. When Ellinor reuchod Mr. Johnson’s house iu lieliingford that uftcruoon she found Miss Monro was there, and that who had beeu with much difficulty re strained by Mr. Johnson from following Ellinor to London. Miss Monro fondled aud purred inar ticulately through her tears over hor re covered darling before she could spook intelligibly enough to tell her that Canon Livingstouo had come straight to see her immediately on his return to East Ches ter, and had suggested her journoy to Ilellingford iu order that she might be of all the comfort she could to Ellinor. She did not at first let out that he hud accom panied her to Ilellingford ; she wan ,\ lit tle afrain of Elliiior’s displeasure at his being there ; Ellinor had always objected so much to any advance to intimacy with him that Miss Monro had wished to make. But Elliuor was different now. “How white you are, Nelly 1” said Miss Monro. “You have been traveling t much and too fust, my child.” “My head aches,” said Ellinor, wearily. But I must go to tho castle and tell luy poor Dixon that be is reprieved—I nrn ho tired! Will you ask Mr. Johuson to get me leave to see him ? He will know all about it.” She threw herself down on the beij in the spare room—the bod with tho heavy blue eurtains. After au unheeded re monstrance Miss Monro went to do her biddiug. But it was now late afternoon, aud Mr. Johnson said that it would bo impossible for him to got permission from the sheriff that night. “Besides,” said ho, courteously, “one scarcely knows whether Miss Wilkins may uot give the old man false hopes—wheth er she has not beeu excited to have false hopes herself. It might be a cruel kiud- uess to let her see him without more legal certaiuty hh to what his nentonce or re prieve is to be. By to-morrow morning, if I have properly understood her story, which was a little confused—” “ohe is so dreadfully tired, poor erra- tarel” put in Miss Mouro, who never could bear the shadow of a suspicion that Ellinor was not wisost, best, iu all rela tions and situations of life. Mr. Johnson wont ou, with a depreca tory bow; “Well, theu—it really is tho only eourseopen to hor besides—persuade her to rest for this evening. By to-iuor- row morning I will have obtained the sheriff's leave, and he will moat likely have heard from London." “Thank you! I believe that will be best.” “It is the only course,” said he. When Miss Monro returned to the bed room Ellinor was in a heavy, feverish slumber: so feverish and so uneaRy did she appoar, that, after tho hesitation of n moment or two, Miss Monro had no scru ple in wukening her. But she did uot appear to understand the answer to her request; she did not seem evon to remember that sho had made any request, Tho journey to England, the misery, the surprises, had been too much for her. The morrow morning came, bringing tho formal freo pardon for Abraham Dixon. The sheriff's order for her admission to see the old man lay awaiting her wish to use it. But she knew nothing of all this. For days, nay, woeks, she hovered be tween life aud death, tended, as of old, by Miss Monro, while good Mrs. Johnson was ever willing fto assist. One summer evening in early Jane she wakened into memory. Miss Monro heard tbe faint piping voice, as she kept her watch by the bed side. “Where is Dixon ?” asked she. “At the eanon’s house st Bromham. ” This was the name of Canon Livingstone’s ooontry parish. •‘Why ?” You are sure nil is right ?” said Elliuor. “Sure, my dear.

How Often Huy we Hat. It has been demonstrated that, at cor- weop well from I t-xiu intervals, whon food is received into tho stomach, gastric juices is secreted to digest it, and that no more guslric juice is secreted than is required for the digea- tiou of tho proper quantity of food. If a person eat twice or thrice a day, at reg’ilar periods, tho gastric juice is secreted by the stomach to digest the food it has received. If, whilo the food is beiug digested more food is introduced into tin* stomach, digestion, iu rolatiou to tho food already ia tho stomach, is arrest- ©d. For instance : 'a parsen takes, in the morning, a piece of bread and several potatoes; now, it will take about three hours for the stomach to dispose of that food. Suppose tho person, about au hour after eating this food, takes a piece of broad and an apple or two; what would happen ? Thu digestion that was going on id the stomach would imme liately stop, and uot be resumed until the food thut was received last was brought into the condition of tho first. Suppose he took food every Lour, what would be the consequence ? The stomach would be come prematurely worn out, and could do nothing perfectly—working all the time without rest. But if the person possessed a good constitution and a large amount of vital power, he would not feel, at first, this drain upon his system, but sooner or later he would have to pay tho poualty of outraged nature. For instance: a person may have a largo oapital in bank ; large A bank account ; but if he keeps on, he will become, sooner or later, a krupt. Some persona have an enor mous amount of vitality—good constitu tions. It is said of these persons nothing hurts them : they can cut and drink any thing with impunity. This is a fatal mis take ; see how many years of life they cutting off by such foolishness. If suco persons live to the ago of seventy or ghty, they might have reached tho ago f one hundred or moro years, by hotter flktotio habits.—Science of Health. It ruin-Kill iUlliifr. Dr. Ulaiko’s address boforo tho Na tional Educational Association at Dotroit has been published, with additions atul a valuable appendix, by J. B. Osgood «V Co. in this complete form it is a valuable con tribution to a discussion of great, impor tance, which has only just begun. Tho education of gills is a special topic in tho largo problem. Iu fact, the education of boys is quite as unsettled and as far from beiug settled as the education of girls. The building of a brain,” as ho well ijs, “is to-day’s social problem.” The present volume is a marked im provement on Dr. Olarko’s former work, Sex in Education.” It is more oaroful and guarded in statement, more delicate and judicious in maunor nnd tono, than that somewhat exaggerated and harsh and needlessly offensive volume. It would seem that tho criticisms on that book have uot been without their effcot, and if they havo not tnodifiod bin views, they have led him to reconsider most of them and stato them in a loss hold and objectionable ay. Htill ho insists that tho function of ariolieity so profoundly affects worn m’s whole nature and life, tint hor education, ploymsnts, nnd habits must bo deter mined by it. 11c makes that function tho n’ral fact, the pivot on which every thing else should turn. Mrs. Jacobi, and the other women who have written with remarkable ability on the subject, contend that however important this function may be, it is incidental rather than determina tive in its character. It is an accident in woman’s lifo, hut not tho life, and much less tho woman. In a state of health nnd under propor circumstances, it is neither a derangement nor a drawback. Tho bar! health of American women oomns 10 sfrom culture than the want of it—less i B-udy than from bid habits nnd worse fashions and general climatic in- fiuonccs. It is unquestionably true that the yonug ladies iu seminaries and col leges have hotter health, and are stronger nnd moro fully developed and more truly refined nnd womanly, than tho majority of thoso who spend their time at h >uiy in tho customary round of duties, pleasures, and excitements. l)r Ghukeis u specialist, and naturally enough studies the subje *t from a narrow, though important, ground of observation.

They explored the iu terior of biui and emptied him nu usual. As they came to the surface nnd swam ashore, Coffin said this was too much ; they hud gone too fur. He inquired if it wasn’t his stomach; nnd if Hiu-h was the euso ho askod if the ComtitiD'on of tboUuitod .States aud tbe laws of Delaware author ized any man to pump the stomach per petually wh< n ho did n t want to have it pumped ?
