The windows aro Shaded. by superb hangings that mellow the light, as it falls on the carpet of rarest tex ture and softness, and ,everything bespeaks an.air of comfort, amounting to luxurious ease and indolence. Charles Berkeley's mother had been an invalid for many years; and although the best physicians in London nad attended her, not one of them had ever been fortun ate enough to discover the nature of her disease. It baffled medical skill. Some times for a week she would be lively and cheerful, managing her hettscheld affairs unaided, then suddenly she would fall fainting on the floor, helpless and senseless. In this state the servants,would bear her to her chamber, and there she often remained for days at a time, unconscious of what was passing around her, although she ate vora ciously whenever food was placed before her. The Materta Mediae had been ex hausted, but still Lady Berkeley was not benefited by' any of the drugs which she had taken, and at last she dismissed tier physician, and began unadvisedly to eat opium.
