CHAPTER XIV.
Ho March came round; Lout was late
that year. Tho yreut nosegay* of violets
and caniolias wore for uni© at tho corner
of tho Ooudotti, ami tho rovoleis lia>l no
diffleulty in procuring much rare flowers
for thu holla of tho Cornu. Tho embas
sies had their balconies; the attaches of
tu« ituHH'iau embassy threw their light
and lovely presents at every pretty gul,
or suspicion of a pretty girl, who passod
slowly m hor carriage, covered over with
her white domino, and holding her wire
ipfk aa a protection to her face from the
ahfewer* of lime cumfotti, which other-
WtM would have been onough to blind
her! Mrs. Forba had her own hired bal
cony, aa baouuie a wealthy and respecta

oeived Breumis and his Gaul*. Masks

MSfrrn voice of Canon ijiviugstono. They
SSW bim disappear under tho balcony on
which they wore stunding, but it wan
sometime before he made his appearance
io tbsir room. And whon ho did ho was
slmont overpowered with grcoiings, so
c. wore they to Bee an East Chester
“When did you come? Whore are
you? Whut a pity you did not conie
sooner ? It is bo long since wo have hoard
Anything; do tell us everything? It is three
weeks siuce we have had any letteia;
tho ho tiresome bourn have born so irrogu-
l«r because of tho woather? How* whh
ebery body—Miss ilouro iu particular,
Blinor says ?”
^ He, quietly smiling, replied to their
-emostiona by slow degreoj. lie had only
^Strived tho night before, and had been
bunting for them all day; but no one
donut give him distinct intelligence as to
their whereabout Bin ull the noise and ton -
fusion of tho plate, especially as they had
tbsir own English servant with thorn,
■fkd tho canon was not strong in his Ital-
Iso. Ho was not sorry ho had imised all
but this last day of Carnival, for ho was
half blinded, and wholly deafened as it
das. Ho was at the “Augletroo ho hud
Wft East Chostor about a week ago ; ho
plotters for all of thorn, but had not
dared to bring them through tho crowd
for fear of having his pocket picked.
Misa Monro wus very well, but very un
easy at not hav.ng hoard from Elliuor for
go long; tho irregularity of tho boats
must be telling beta wuyH, for thoir En-
g lish friend i wero full of wonder at nut,
earing from Homo. And tlieu followed
acme well-deserved abuse of tho lloman
poet, aud some suspicion of the oaroful-
n«ui with which Italian servants posted
English tattlers. All those answors were
satisfactory enough, yet Mrs. Forbes
thought she saw a latent uneasiness iu
Oanoa Liviugstoue’s manner, and fau-
oied once or twice that he hositatod iu
replying to Ellinor’s questions. But
there whh no being quite suro in tho
increasing darkness, which prevented
countenances from being seen; nor in
the constant interruptions and soroams
whioh were goiug on iu tho small crowd
ed room, as wafting handkerchiefs, puffs
of wind, or veritable extinguishers, fast
ened to long sticks, and coining from no
body knew where, put out taper after ta
per *» fwt os they wore lighted.
“You will come homo with ill,” Raid
lire. Forbes. “I can only offer you cold
meat with tea ; our cook ih gone out, this
being • universal festu ; but we can not
perl with an old friend for any scruples
os to the commissariat.”
“Thank you, I should have iuviled my-
•elf If you had not been good enough to
n«i> me ?"
When they had all arrived at their
apartment in the lUl.uino (Canon Li via g-
stbee bed gone round to fetch the let
ters with which he was intrusted), Mrs.
Forbes was ounllrmed in hor supposition
tbit be bad .something particular and not
▼ery pleasant to siy to Eilinor, by the
rather grave nud absent umuncr iu which
be awaited her return from taking off hor
cut-of-door things, lie broke off, indeed,
in hie conversation with Mrs. Forboa to
go end meet Eilinor, and to lead her into
fimmoet distant window before he deliv
ered her letters.
“From what you said in the balcony
I foar you have not received
mo letters regularly?”
>!" replied she, startled and tretn-
•be hardly know why.
xnoro has Miss Monro heaid from
“Fear Miss Wilkins, I’m afraid it is
painful enough, bnt yon aro fancying it
worse than it is. All your friends are
qnito well; bnt an old Hervant—”
“Well!” Baid she, soeiug his hoiiiatiou,
and loaning forward and griping at his
arm.
*T» taken upon a charge of maualangh-
tor or murder.—Oh, Mrs. Furbes, come
boro!”
For Eilinor had fainted, fulling for
ward on tho arm she had bold. When
she oame round nIio was lying ha’.f-nu-
drossed on her bed ; thoy were giving her
tea iu spoonfuls.
“1 limit gel op,” moauad aho. I muni
go home.”
“You must lie still,” said Mrs. Forbes.,
ilrtuly.
“Vou don’t know. I must go home,”
sho repeated; aud she tried to sit up, but
foil back, helpioss. Then ahe did not
spoak, but lay and thought. “Will yon
bring mo some moat?’ she whimpered.
“And Borno wine?” Thoy brought her
meat and wino ; she ato though she was
choking. “Now, please bring me my
letters, and leave me alone; and after
that I should like to spouk to Cauon Liv
ingstone. Don’t let bim go, please. I
won’t bo long—half an hour, I Jhink.
Only let me be alone.”
There was a hurried, feverish sharpness
in her tone that made Mrs. Forbes very
anxious, but she judged it bent to comply
with hor request*.
The luttcra wore brought, the lights
ware arranged so that she conld read
them lying on her bed, aud they left hor.
Then sho got up and stood on her feat,
dizzy onough, her arms clasped at tho ti.p
of hor head, hor eyes dilated and atariog
as if looking at somo great horror. But
after a fow miuutea she sat down sudden
ly aud began to read. Lottora were evi
dently missing. Some had been sent by
nu opportunity who had been dolaj'ed on
ten journey, aud had not yot arrived iu
Koine. Oihors had boon dispatched by
the post, but tho aovero woather, the un
usual hdow, had, in thoHO days, before
the railway was mado between Lyons and
Marseilles, put u stop to many a travel
er s plans, and hud -fonderod tile trans
mission of tho mail extremely uncertain ;
bo much that intolligonco whioh Miss
Monro had evidently considered as cer
tain to bo kuown to Eilinor was entirely
matter of conjecture, and could only fcu
guessed nt from what was told iu these
letters. Ouo was from Mr. Johnson, ono
from Mr. iirowu, ono from Mias Momo;
of course the last-mentioned was the first
loud. tSho spoke of tho shock of of tho
discovery of Mr. Dune tor’s body, cliscov
©red in the cutting of the now line of rail
road from 11 a m ley to the uearest mil way
station; tho body so hastily buried long
ago in its clothoR, by which it was recog
nized—a recognition confirmed by one or
two more personal nml indestructible
things, finch an his watch and seal with
his initials; of tho ebook to every one,
the Osbalointones in particular, on th«
furl her discovery of a iloaui, or horso-
taneet, having tho name of Abraham
Dixon engraved on the handle ; how Dixon
Imd gone on Mr. Osbahlostone's bnciuoRB
to a horftQ-fnir in Ireland some weeks before
tin*, nud had his log broken by n kick
from an unruly mare, bo that he wa« bare
ly able to move about whon tho officers
of justice went to apprehend him in Tra
lee.
At this point Eilinor cried out lond and
Khrill, “Oh Dixon, Dixon! nud I wan
away enjoying tuyself ! M
They heard hor ory, and came to tho
door, but it wan bolted inaido.
“Fleas© go away,” said she; “pleas©
go. 1* will bo very quiet, only please
g°-”
She could not bear just then to read
any more of Miss Monroo’a loiter. Sho
tore upon Mr. Johnson s letter, tho date
was a fortnight earlier than Miss Mon-
roo’s; ho uIho expressed feis wonder at not
hearing fr®iu hor in reply to hi* tatter of
January ‘J ; bnt ho added that ho thought
that hor trustees had judged rightly : the
handsome sum tho railway company had
offered for the land when their surveyor
decided ua tho alteration of the line, Mr
Osbuldistone, etc., etc.—sho could nol
read any mot a -, it fat© pursuing her
Then sho took tho letter up again nn<
tnod to read; but all that reached her tin
dorBtnuding was that Mr. Johnson had
Hont his present lottor to Miss Monro,
thinking that she might know of some
privato opportunity safer than tho post.
Mr. Brown’s was just such a lottor as ho oc
casionallyHont her from timo to time a; cor
respond* noo that arose out of their mutu
al regard for tlicir dead friond, Mr. Ness.
It too-had been ©out to Minn Monro to
direct. Ei.inorwas just on tho point of put
ting it aside entirely when tho name of
Corbil caught hor eye: “You will be in
terested to hear that the old pupil of our
departed friend who was so anxious tool
tain tho folio Virgil with the Italian notes
is appointed the new judge in room of Mr.
Justice Jenkin. At least I conclude
thul Mr. Italph Corbit, Q. C., is the same
as tho Virgil fancier.”
“Yes,” Baid Eilinor, bitterly; “he
judged well—it would never have done.”
They were tho first words of anything
like reproach whioh sho over formed in
her own mind during all these yours.
•Sue thought for a few moments of the
old Units; it seemed to steady hor broiu
to think of them. Then she took up and
finished Miss MonroVlettor. That excel
lout frioud had dono all she thought that
Eilinor would have wished without delay
She hud written to Mr. Juhuson, and
charged him to do all that he could to
defend Dixon, and to spare no oxpoiiho,
She was thinking of going to the prtaor
in the county town to see tho old amt
herself; but Eilinor could boo that ail
theso endeavors and purposes of Mi
Monro’s were based on love for her ow
pupil, and n desire to set her mind at eu
as f«,r as she could, rather than from an
idea mat D.xon himself could heinnocen
Eilinor put down the lotters and went to
the door, and thou turned buck nud lucked
them up in her writing-case with tromh-
liug bauds; and after that sho entered tho
drawing-room, looking liker to ’a ghoHt

alone?” Her still, tuneless voice made
tho words into a command. (Janon Liv

little dining-room. “Will you tall mo all
you know*—all yon have heard about my

“Miss Monro was my informant—dt

Ih Id re I left; Miss Monro Bays it could
only have been dono in n moment of au
ger, if tho old. servunt is really guilty;
that be was as steady and good a man as
she ever knew*; and sho seems to havo a
strong feeling against tho Mr. Haunter as
always giving your father a great doal of
unnecessary trouble; in fact, she hints
that his disappearance at the time was
suppasetT to be the cause of a considera
ble Iobs of property to Mr. Wilkins.”
“No!’ Huid Eilinor, oogerly, feeling
that some justice ought to be dono to the
dead roan ; and then she stopped short,
The canon bowed, and saul a few ao-
qniuacing words. Ho waited for her to
•peak ©gain.
“Miss Monra says bIio Is going to see
Dixon in—”
“Oh, Mr. Livingstone, I can’t boar it!”
He let horalono, looking at her pitifully
she twisted aud wrung her hands to-
gethov in hor ondoavor to regainth© quiot

smile.

there is bnt littlo doubt that he did kill
man ; I trust in somo moment of irri
tation, with no premeditated malice.”
Eilinor shook her head.
“How boob can I got to Eoglnud?”
asked the. “I must start at once.”
“Mrs. Forbes sent out whilo you were
lying down. I am afraid thoro is no boat
to Marseilles till Thursday, tho day aftor
to-morrow.”
“Bnt I mnst go sooner!” said Eilinor,
starting up. “I must go ; please help me.
He m*y be triad before I can get there!”
“Alas! I fear that will be the case what
ever haste you make. The trial wee to
come on nt the Ilellingford Assises, and
that town stand* first on the Midland
Circuit list. To-day is tho 27th of Feb
ruary ; tho Absizos begin on the (»th of
March.”
“I will start to-morrow morning early
for Civile; there may be a boat there
they do nut know of hero. At any rate,
I shall be on my way. If he dies, I mn9t
die too. Oh! I don’t know whnfc I am

dt ono moment ho stood looking a£

ci words. Ho thought bettor of it,
howevor, and fiilontly left the room.
CHAPTER XV.
tf’or a long time Eilinor Hat still, now
l then taking up Miss Monro’s lotter
nud re-reading the few terrible detail*.
Limn she bethought hor that possibly tho
chbou might havo brought a copy of the
Time* containing tho examination of
Dixon before tho magistrates, and she
jponod the door nud called to a passing
lorvaut to maho tho inquiry, bho was
quite right iu her conjecture: Canon
Livingstono had had the paper in his
pocket during his interview with hor, but
ho thought within himself that tho evi-
leuce was bo conclusive that tho pernHal
of it would only bo adding to her extreme
accelerating the conviction
petually about her, tho two who had so
oftaa met in familiar if not,friendly rola-
lions, bow to face each other as judge
and aocuHed! She oould net tell how Mr.
Corbet had conjectured from tho partial
revelation she had made to him of (lie
impondiug shame that bung over her and
hers. A day or two ago she could have
remembered the exact words she had nsod
iu that memorable interview ; but now,
strivo as sho would, she oonld only recall
faotn uot werds. After all, the Mr. Jus
tice Corbet might not be Kalpk. There
was ono ohauoe in a hnudrod against tho
identity of tho two.
While sho was weighing probabilities in
her siok. dizzy mind she hoard soft steps
somo picvious untight into liis plans, nml
kept Rilonco during tho discussion.
The last *iglit Elliuor bad of her friends
as tho lumbering diligence rolled honvily
from side to side was whon sho looked
back at tho corner of tho piuzza, and saw
them still standing in a sad group at tho
piaco where hIio had left thorn, bho
ptillod down tho veil ovor hor face, that
neither of hor companions might boo how
her eyes woro filling with toars.

outside hor bolted door, and low voices
whispering. It was the bedtime of happy
people with hearts- at esso. 8omo fout-
uUps passed lightly on ; bnt there wae a
gentle rap at Eduior’a door. Hhe ptessed
hor two hot hands hard against her toiu-
plos for an instant boforo she wont to
opeu tho door. Thero stood Mrs. Forbos
ia hor handsome evening dross, holding a
lighted lamp in hor haud.
“May I come in, my dear?” ahe asked.
Eilinor’* stiff, dry lips refused to ntter
the words of assent, whioh indeed did uot
cotue ro&dily from her heart.
“I am so grieved at this sad news which
the canon bring*. I can well understand
whnt a shock it mast be to you. We havo
just been saying it must bo as bad for
you ns it would be to us if our old Donald
should turn out to have boon a hiddon
murderer all those yonr* that ho has lived
with ua. I really conld havo as soon sus
pected Donald as that whito-haired ro-
spoctablo old man who nsod to come and
see you at East Chester.”
Elliuor felt that sho must ssy some
thing. “It is a terrible shock—poor old
man ! and no friend nonr biiu, even Mr.
Osbaldiutone giving evidenoe against him.
Oh dear, dear! why did I evor come to
Homo ?”
“Now, my dear, you must not lot your
self take an exaggerated view of tho case.
Sad and shocking ns it is to havo been so
docoivod, it is what happens to many of
hr, though uot to so terrible a degree;
und as lo your cotniug to Homo having
any thing to do with it—”
Mr*. Forbes almost smiled at tho idea,
so anxious was sho to banish tho idea of
Belf-roproach from Elliuor’s sensitive
miml, but Elliuor interrupted hor ab
ruptly :
“Mrs. Forbes! did he—did Cauon Liv
ingstone toll you that I innst leave you to
morrow? I must go to England as fast
as poHsiblo to do what I can for Dixon.”
“Y’os, ho Told us you woro thinking of
it, and it was partly that thut made me
force mysolf in upon you to-night. I
think, my love, yon aro mistaken iu feel

my dear Eilinor, it will be far better for
you to have all the softening which dis
tance can give to such a dreadful termina
tion to tho life of a poor man whom you
have reRpeotoihso long.”
But Eilinor spoko again, with a kind of
irritntod determination vory foreign to
hor usual soft docility.
“Please just let me judge for myself
this once. I am not ungrateful. God
knows I don’t want to vex ono who has

was willing enough to testify to tho excel

all tho many years he had boon in his

peared to bo quite convinced by tho evi
dence previously given of tho prisoners
guilt iu tho mutter, and strengthonod tho
cdho against him materially by stating tho
circumstance of tho old inau’s dogged un
willingness to have tho slightest interfer
ence by cultivation with that particular
pioco of ground.
Iloro Eilinor shuddered. Before her,
iu that lloman bo lchambnr, roso the fatal
oblong she knew by heart—a little green
muss or lichen, and thinly-growing blades
of grass scarcely covering the caked and
undisturbed soil under the old troo. Oh
thut she hud boon iu Englaud whon the
surveyors of the railway hot ween Ash-
combo and ilumiey hud uttered their line ;
she would have entreutod, implored, com
pelled hor trustees not to havo sold that
pioco of ground for any sum of money
whatsoever. Sho would huvo bribed the
surveyors, don© she kuow uot whut—but
now it was too lain; she would not let
her mir.d wander off to what might huvo
boon ; “he would forco horsolf again to at
tend to the nowipapar column*. Thero
was little more : tho prisoner had been
asked if he could say any thing to clear
biuiarJf, and properly cautioned uot to
my any thing to iucriminato himself.
Tho poor old man’s person was described,
and his ovictaut emotion. “The prisoner
was observed to clutch at tho rail before
him to stoady himself, and hia color
changed ho much at thi* part of tho evi
dence thut ouc of tho turnkeys offered
hiui u glass of water, which he declined,
lie is a uif.u of strongly-built frame, and
with rather u morose and sullen cast of
countenance.”
“My poor, poor Dixon !” said Eilinor,
layiug down tho paper for nn instant, and
sho was near crying, only she had rosolvad
to shed no tear* till sho had finished all,
and could judge of tho chances. Thero
were but u i«w line* mure : “At on© time
'ho prisoner seemed to be desirous of al
leging something in hia defenso, but ho
changed his mind, if such had been tho
coso • and in reply to Mr. Gordon (the
magistrate) ho only said, ‘You’ve made a
pretty strong cako out again mo, gentle
men, and it seems for to sutisfy you. So
I thiuk 1 11 not disturb yonr ininds by
saying any thi»g more.’ Accordingly
Dixon now stands committed for trial for
murder at the noxt Ilellingford Aasizee,
which commence on March the sixth be
fore Barou Huahton aud Mr. Justice Cor
bet.”
“Mr. Justice Corbet! ’’ Tho wordn ran
through Eilinor ns though sho had been
stabbed with a knife, aud by an irrepres
sible movement sho stood up rigid. The
young man, hor lover in her youth, the
old servant who ia those days was per
help rue- to go to-morrow, and you do not
know how I will pray to God to bless
you!”
Much nn appeal was irresistible. Mrs.
Forbes kirmed her very tenderly, and wont
to rejoin her daughters, who wero cIuh-
teioii together in their mother’s bedroom
awaiting hor coming.
“Well, main tun, how is she ? Whnt
does slio say ?”
“She is in a vory excited state, poor
thing! and has got so strong an impres
sion that it is hor duty to go back to Eng
land and do all she can for this wretched
old man, that I am afraid we must not op
pose her. I am afraid she really must go
on Thursday."
“Why, what can she do, mamma?”
“Poor dear old Nelly!” “And miss tho
return by Perugia she was thinking
mach about!”
Snch were somo of the oxolnmations of
(ho Miss Forbeses. Thoy had small
thought of tho old servant in prison ; but
it was on hi* position, and probablo gnilt
or inuocenco, that Mrs. Forbos kept p
dering. Sho was more and more sure
that Elliuor was in possession of some
secret information that sho believed,
whether truly or fnlaoly, would affect tho
result of the trial; and so, although she
would havo been infinitely gratified by
Ellinor’s fuller confidence, sho forbore to
recur to the subjoct on the following
morning, but treated Ellinor’s resolve
go homo u:» a decidod thing, tho wisd<
hioli wn.s past questioning. By this
kind of behavior Kbo not only soothed
Eilinor, but won tho right of funking such
arrangements on her behalf as would ron-
der hor journey homo moro easy of
agomont.
Mrs. Forbes secured th® services of a
traveling-maid, and wont to the banker’s;
after places in thu diligence to Ci-
vitia ; Eilinor remaining in her room all
the timo, apparently engaged iu packing
up. ThiH, at least, was her employment
whonever Effio, or Margaret, or Joanie
Forbes wont in with Ihoir sympathy or
their regret. But as soon as thoy left hor
ulouo she sat down on her bod, unable to
keep up tLc Hlrain ; overburdened with
tho terrible secret, the consequences of
hich wore now culminating to a crisis.
Tho diligence left at three. Mrs.
Forbos, the girls, the traveling-maid, ©ml
Mrs. Forbes’* servant all acoompauiod
Eilinor to tho office from which it was to
start.
Thero they found Canon Livingstone,
whom Elliuor had not seen since the
night before. Hhe was not Hnrprised at
his being there to wish her good-by ; in
deed few things would have surprised hor
just now ; And, besides, she bad a thor
ough reliance on his quiet friendliness.
But she did remonstrate when aho found

—Mr. J. Torbitt has advanced tho idea

is a native of Africa, and used to inhabit
the country from Nubia to tho Capo ol
Good Hope, but it is said now to be re
stricted to n small cantofi of Abyssinia.
All attempts at domesticating the animal
have failed in Africa, yet it is easily
tamed in Europo. Iu its native haunt:
it roams iu herds of from five to fifty,
brow*ing on the leaves and small branches
of trees. It is inoffensive, and nooks tc
escape danger by flight ; yet, if hard
pressed, will fight Htoutly, (bschaiging a
storm of kicks with it* hind tags that will
oven beat off tho lion. Its running pace
is swifter than that of a Hoot horso, and
it tnovos ovor uneven ground with groat
advantage. The flohli of the giraffe is
called palatable, and its marrow is a favor
ite African delicacy.
—When Magellan discovered the Phil
ippines he was astonished to light upon
an Arabia alphabet in use at Oabu. On
onquiry he found that somewhere about
the ninth century Homo Motuuimmduu
priests from Oman hail luudcd hero and
taught the native* tho Koran. Only some
few iaolatod fact* are known concerning
tho population of tho islands of Ocoani.i
before their discovery by European voy
agers, and any addition to our knowledge,
however small, i* therefore of great value.
A Manilla paper announcea tho discovery
of prehistoric remains on tho littlo inland*
of Uota aud Tiniuu, which form part of
tho Imdrono or Mariana Islands, constat
ing of two series of eight sti.no pyramids,
standing iu two rowa, at intervals of 12
foet, tho ban© hoiug 12 foet square, and
tho height !»(> foot. Tho Mimmit is
crowned by a kiud of large cup equal in
diameter to the diagonal of tho bus©.
There i* little doubt tlmt they belong to

and that thoy cannot poipnhly be ascribed
ton race at all similar to tho vindictive and
degraded ahorigi lies of the archipelago.

—Dr. Hoffman Hays that in the hair of
the lower mammals wo find gouoiully tho
samo threo layer* *s in human hair, but
lifforing to such a degree that, hs a ru!o,
a hair can be easily recognized as belong
ing to an uuituah Tho culicuiu iu most
animals has absolutely ami relatively larg
er colls, which give tho hair n character
istic appearance, a* i« seen especially well
in tho wool from nherp. * A toothed or
Ruw-like appearance on tho contour of cer
tain animal hair* depends upon the larger
development oed peculiar relations of tho
cuticular coll*, whoso points stand out ho
far from the hair lliut tho latter has a
fcathorod appearance, ns in a field-mouse.
Among thu animala tho greater bulk of
the hair i* formed by tho medullary imb
alance, tho cortical substance being only
a thin layer; often, indeed, i* reduced to
a hem-like Btrcuk. Tho predominance of
the luedullury substance i* stu n best in
the shaft of tho b⁢ toward* tho end
the oortical Ruladunco predominates, the
medullary becoming thinner. Generally
tho cortical substance has tho saint
ture as in human hair, and the sumo vari
ety of pigmentnlion ; in some annuals,
tho cat, rat, and mouse, the cortical sub
sume© is moro trauHlueteut and of liuor
structure, resembling, under tho micro
scope, a hyaline ouvelopo of tho medul
lary substance. Tlio medullary substance
in animals is au interesting study, differ
ing greatly from tho same layer iu hmnau
hair. Tho cellular structure is generally
very evidont, without the employment of
any reagent. The cells vary greatly in
size and form.
Boiinom and Tbbolout.—Tho divorce
which now exists between theology and
scienco will continue so long hh theolo
gian* forgot that their duty is to “prove
all things *nd hold fast tlmt which in
true.” Hitherto they have boon holding
fast enough, without troubling themselves
about inquiry. They have accept oil con
clusion* and clung to them, and con
demned ©11 who did net how before them.
Kciencu sweeps away such antiquated
superstition*. It will not toleratoa fetish,
lt will not submit to any ignorant and
iron rule. Open-eyed it goes forth into
tho Universe to ask question* from na
ture, and to bring back answers to tho
world. Not hampered by superstitions,
it is ready to accept whatever can bo
proved to bo true. Theology must bo
ready to follow this example ; icady to
give up what i* erroneous, ready to pro
claim wbat is truo. Only thus can she
tako bor place among the sciences, and
only by pre-eminrnt fidelity to this can
she truly beoomo what tho greatue** of
