J CHAPTER XVII. It was very hard work for Eiliuor to do her duty as a guest, and to ullow herself to be interested and tullced to on local affairs by her host and hostess. But site felt as if she had spoken shortly and ftb- rubtiy to Mr. Johusou in their previous c juversution, und that she must try and m ike amends for it; so sho attended to all the details about the restoration of the church, and tho difficulty of getting a good music-master for tho three little Miss Johnsons, with ull h°r usual genlle good breeding and patience, though no out can tell hqvv her heart and imagination were full of tho coming interview with poor old Dixon. Uv-ond-by Mr. Johnson was called out of the room to see Mr. Ormorod, and re aeivo the order of admission from him Eiliuor olnspeil her hands tight togothe as she listened with apparent coiuposun to Mrs. Johnson’s never-ending praise of the Tonic Sol-fa system, But when Mr. Johurtc.li returned she could not help in terrupting her eulogy, und Buying, “liiou 1 may go now 1 /" “Yes; tho ordrr was there—she might g >, and Mr. Johnson would accompany her, to see that she met with no difficulty or obstacle.” ♦ As tiioy walked thither ho told her that some one—a turnkey, or homo ono— would have to bo present at tho interview; that such was always tho rule in tho cus of condemned prisoners ; but that if thi; third person was “obliging” ho would k-:ep out of ear-shot. Mr. Johnson qui etly took euro to see that tho turnkey who accompanied Eilinor was “obliging.’ The man took her across high-wuhed courts, and. along stone corridors, and through many locked doors before they caiuo to tho “condemned cells.” *Tvo lmd three at a time in hero,” he, unlocking tho final door, “after Judgo Morlou had beeu here. We always caller him the ’Hanging Judge.’ Hut it’s tivi years sitice he died, und since then ihcro'i beeu never nuru touu ono in ut a tiuio— though ouco it wus a woman for poison ing her husband. Mary Jones wus her name.” Tue Htono passage out of which the cells opened was light, and bare, and scrupulously clean. Over each door a small barred window, and an outer win dow of the same description whh plan high up in tho cell which tho.turnkey now opened. Old Abraham Dixon was sitting oa tho side of his bed, doing nothing. His head was bent, his frame sunk, and ho did not neem to one to turn round and see who it was that entered. Eiliuor tried to keep down her sobs while the man wcut up to him, and laying liis hand on his shoulder, and lightly shaking him, be said : “Here’s a friend couio to see you, Dix on.” Then, turning to Eiliuor, Ue added “There’s some as takes it in this kind o’ stunned way, while others are as restless us a wild boast in n cage after ihey’i sentenced.” And then he withdrew into the passage, leaviug the door open, that he could see ull that passed if lie chose to look, but ostentatiously keeping his eyes averted, and whistling to him self, so that ho could uot hear what they said to each othor. Dixon looked up at Eilinor, but then lot his eyes fall ou the ground again ; the increased trembling of his shrunk frame was the only sign he gavo that ho had recognized her. ytie sat down by him, and took his Jarge horny hand iu hers. She wonted to overcome her inclination to sob hysteri cally before she spoke. Sho stroked the bony, shriveled fingers on which her hot ncaldiug tears kept dropping. “Dur.not do that,” said he, at length, in a holhnv voice. “Duunot tuke on about it; it’s best »s it is, missy.” “No! D xon.it is not best. It shall not be. You koow it shall not—can not be.” _ , “I’m rather tired of living. Its beeu a great strtiiu and labor for mo.

Murder! And that it never were, choose who did it.” “My poor, poor father did it. I am going up to London this afternoon—I am going to see the judge, and tell him all.” “Don’t you demean yourself to that fellow, missy. It’s him as left you in the lurch- as soon as sorrow and shame came nigh you.” up at her now for the first « »be had Dot it is, nud I «m rewind.

How I was main and sorry for nil us I’d or done wrong ; I allays were, at after was done; but I thought as no one could know how bittor-kecn I wanted to soo you.” Again they sank into silence. Eilinor felt as if sho would fain bo away and ac tive in procuring his release; but she also perceived how precious hor pusenoo was to him, and she did not like to leave him uiunioLt before tho time allowed for. His voice had changed to a weak piping is quaver, and betweeu tho times of his talking ho seemed to relapse iuto dreamy state ; but through it all ho held her hand tight, as though nfruid that she would leave him. Bo tho hour elapsed, with no n spoken words than those above, i’ to time Ellinor’s tears dropped d upon her lap; she could not rest them, though she source know why she ied just then. At length tho turnkey said that tin no allowed for the interview w«*s ended Eilinor spoke no word, but lose mid bent down and kissed tho old man’s forehead, saying, I shall couio back to-morrow. God keep and comfort you.” Iruost without an articulate w from him iu reply (ho rose up and at n his shaking legs as she budo him f. oil, putting Lis hand to his head w le old habitual mark of respect), ent her way swiftly out of the prison, iviftly back with Mr. Johiisou to his house, scarcely patient or strong enough in her hurry to explain to him fully all that the meant to do. bho only asked him a few absolutely leqnisito questions, and informed him of her intention to go straight to London to see Judge Corbet. CHAPTER XVIII. Jn-'t before the railwny-oarriago in which Eilinor was seated started ou the journey she bent forward ami put out hor hand once more to Mr. Johnsm. “To-morrow L will thunk you for all,”she said. “I can not now." It. was about tho same time that site had reached llclliugford on tho previous night that sho univcd.ut the Great West ern Station on this evening—past o : ght o'clock. Ou tho way she had reuiomb* red and arranged many things: one impor tant question silo had omitted to usk Mr. •Johnson ; but that was easily remedied. Slid had not inquired where sho could find Judge C« rbt t; if sho had, Mr. John son could probably have giveu her Lis professional address. As it was she nuked for a Post-office Directory at tho hotel, and looked out for his ptivuto dwelling— 128 Hyde Park Gardens. Bho rang for a waiter. “Cnu 1 Beil.I a tm s-ougor lo Hyde Park Gardens?” Hie said, hurrying ou to her business, ti»ed und worn-out as she was. “It is only to a-dc if Judge Corbet is at home this evening. If ho is, 1 must go and see him.” The waiter was a little surprised, and would gladly have had her name to au thorize the inquiry ; but she could not bear to send it; it would bo bad enough, that tiist meeting, without the fouling that he too had had time to rocull all the past days. Better to go in upon him un prepared, und plunge into tho subject. The waiter returned with tho answer while she yet was pacing up and down the r< om restlessly, nerving Loraelf for the interview. “The messenger has boon to Ily <*c Park Gardens, ma’atu. Tho Judge and Lady Corbet are gone out to dinner.” Lady Corbet! Of course Eiliuor knew that he was married. Hid she not been present at the wedding in East Chester Culhodral ? But sounhow tbeso recent events had so carried her buck to old times that the intimate association of tin* names, “the Judge nud Lady Corbet,’’ seemed to awaken h-r out of somo dream. “Ou, very well,” sue said, just as if these thoughts were not passing rapidly through her mind. “Let mo he oilled ut eeveu to-morrow morning, and h t me have u cab at the door to Hyde Park Gar dens at eight.” And so t-ho wont to bed, but scarcely to sleep. All night Jong bho had the scones of those old times, the happy, happy days of her youth, the ono tumble night that cut all happiness short, present before her. Bho coil d almost, have fun ded that she heard tho long-silent sounds of her father’s step, her fathet's way of breathing, tho rustle of his newspaper u- he h is.ily tnruod it. over, coming through the lapse of years, tho fiiUnce ot the night. She knew that sho hud the Jil'.le writing-case rfif her girlhood wi h her in Lor Lux. Tho treasures of the dead fJiat it contained, the morsel of dainty sowing, tho little his'er’n golden curl, the half- finished letter to Mr. Corbot, wore all there. Bho took them out and looked at each separately ; looked at thorn long— loug and wistfully. “Will it be of any use to me ?” sho questioned of herself as sho was about to put her father's letter back into its receptacle. She reAd tho last words over again once more : “From my death-bed I adjure you to stand her friend ; I will beg pardon on my knees for auy thing.” “I will take it,” thought she. “I need not bring it out; most likely there will after what I shall have AUtoN altered, no changed be- tertv bath, (lid 1 rhiuk i shall have no shame in showing it huu for my own part of it.

Thousands ot pareule, who, by industry, have gained u position which enables them to destroy their chddreu, take the surest means of accomplishing lucir de struction by cue* uragmg them in idle ness, und allowing them us tk-y grow up to feel (hat it is disgiuceful to work at whatever manual labor best suBn his tal ents, no limiter whether his father is a minister, or a l.iwyer, or if Bonator, or the President of tue L’n f od States. Many young men u.o looking forward upon life with tho general ifie-i that th« y nre going lo enjoy thcm-c vca. They are provided with ail needful physical ^uinforls, and they mean to be happy. They have no trade. They slight their proftHriou. Their whole gov. n.ing principle in life is to shirk .inytLuig like work; and they ex- pent to have enjoyment without industry. But no man in this world will be happy who violates the fundamental law of in dustry. You must work if you are going to be a happy man. I know you think it is hard ; but if God hud meant that you should lm a butt rflv, you would be born s butterfly. And as you were not boi moth or a miller, but a man, you must accept the conditions of your manhood And if there i•; one prwiplo that is more important at the very threshold of life than another, it is Hod man is bon mark. The Realn. Dr. ltedeJiffe, in his recent Croonian lectures, is lepoj-ted lo have discussed, at much length d very accurately, Huhje’t of br in • x*j u . ion. so common at tha present c?•• •. Af'or drscr.bing the leading simptoiu . n th a** loss of memo ry, <lepiessi**n of apints, in*.reused or les sened sleeplo-HUess, unusual irritability, epileptiform condition of tho nerves, and sometimes transitory coma, he argues against urging the putieut to out heaitily, believing that auch a praotico touuH to develop tho disenso; he equally opposes tho training diet system, an generally starving the nerve tissues by excluding tho hydrocarbons from food. Nor should the patients be urged to work more than is natural under the circum^tunces, nor to rest from head-work, in many cases cerebral exhaustion being intensified by the brain lying fallow; if there is undue i»leoplcK-*nof.B, tho houd should lie low on tho pillow, und if uuduo sleepiness, it should bo kept high. During his lifetime, Dr. Torruy, the eminent mineralogist nnd botanist, lately deceased, nnd for many years United Btntes Assnyer in New York, took special pains to collect a cabinet of Amerieau ores ami minerals, which embraced a large number of very valuable specimens, nnd was given by him to hiH son, H. Gray Torroy, who succeeded him iu his office. Mr. Torrey has lately presented (his collection to the government, which hits authorized tho erection of suitable eases in tho Assay Office, and bearing the name of the Torroy Memorial Cabinet. He proposoN to extend the collection ns s possible iu the same direction, and iuvitoa contributions from those who have any specimens of the kind to spare either i*h au absolute donatiou, urns an ex change for such duplicates ns lie may have it in liis power to furnish. Thu collection being thus n pnbli.i one, and placed whero it will bo of very great servico in tbo determining the character of ores brought in for examination, it is to be hoped that the invitation of Mr. Torrey will meet a hearty reaponse, and the collection will be greatly oulurgod. —Professor Clins. E. llnrtt, of (Jornell University, sailed from New York ou tho th of September tor Brazil, via Europe, this making tho third or fourth trip to that country for the purposo of prosecut ing enquires into its natural history and ethnology. 'I’ll® present object is Haul to bo nn examination of the gold nml dia mond regiou to tho north of Uio Janeiro, and also the southern glacial drift. He will also, as heretofore, probably make mho of any opportunity in prosecuting re searches iuto the arcluo'ilogy nud ethuo- ’ >gy of tho groat empire. —Professor George Litllo has been ap pointed State Geologist of Georgia, un der tho reeont law authorizing a survey. According to tho Constitution, Professor Little was for many years Assistant State Geologist of Mississippi, nnd as such un social *m1 with Professor llilgard, now of Ann Arbor. —Tho death of Profusaor F. A. Pouchot took pluce at Kouen in July lust, at tho age of sevouty-throo. Professor Pouchot is best known by his labors iu the direc tion of spontaneous generation nnd spon- tatieus ovulatiou, on which subjects ho published lurgoly, and greatly iufiiiunced tho tendency uf scientific opinions iu re gard to them. He has more recently been engaged in a aeries of controversies in the Academy of Bciuuco with Professor Pasteur in reference to many subjeeta. Indeed, it was only necessary for I’listeur ring forward a series of propositions to hnvo them attacked, usually unsuccess fully, however, by his antagonist. —The expedition sent out under tho auspices of tho Treasury Depart mint for tho investigation of the fur-saitl rookeries of the North Pacific, und especially on the Pribylov Islands, consisting of Mr. Henry W. Elliott and Lieutenant May nard, of tho nnvy, has boon hoard from to tho dnte of tho 8th of July. Tbo party was then at (ho inland of St. George, which they hud reached from Alaska. During the year which had elapsed since Mr. Elliott’s lust visit ho wus satisfied tlmt thero hud beeu no mutcrial diminu tion or alteration otherwise of tho num bers of tho fur seals. Ho and his com panion expected to lenvo St. George in a few days, and proceed tbonce to the islands of Bt. Matthew, Bt. Lawrence, the Diomede*, Bt. Michael, und to Nuniv*tk, after which they would return to Ban Fran cisco. •As might liavo boon expected, nearly all tho Euioponn expeditions for the ob servation of the.truusit of Venus have re ceived instructions to niako collections nd observations in other branches of science than that of astronomy; and tho Germans being especially interested in tho subject of ethnology, very olabornte instructions for observation have been prepared by Profossor Virchow. In these attention is particularly invited to the in vestigation of prohEtorio remains among tho Polynesian and Melanesian islands, and in regard to tho distribution of do mestic animals therein, the determination of the boundaries between the Negritos, tho Papuans, aud the Australians as also any mixture with them of the Malays Inquiries arc to bo made as to the distri bution of sundry peculiarities in the nrts, such as that of manufacturing vessels of olHy, and the extent of the use of certain arms. Particular attention is called like wise t*> tho articles of food, and to tho degree to which animal substances enter ns nutriment ; also where salt is dis pensed with, and tho aniont of use of lm- tnnn flesh as compared with othor sub stances.
