CIIAPTER, I. 1: •
Some time ago, I fell gradually
" You study. - too • much." said my tlenior
partner, Pr. "You don?t : take
enough exercise," said an intimate .friend:
in a confidential tone, as if he wmildn't
have any one else know' his opinian, fora
the world.- "I don't think yoU'll ever get
• better," said my old maiden aunt: ;" It's
all smoking," said my wife. (We'dlieen
married fifteen years.) ,
Holding, however; a different ',opinion
from an of them, I determined to fallow
the ancient maxiin,:" Physician Beal thy
self." Acting upon it, I prescribed change
of air, and quiet; and havingi . aniloilnced
my intention of leaving the afares:ad i/art- •

• recommended as places.) ( "If you 'take
my advice," said a third, (which I ins)ant %
lideeided not to do,)'"you'll stay; Where,

I heard everything every. One
say; and then coniulted. my .friend, -.Dr.

"My - dear. felloW," said he, "YOu

"You're knocked- up, with this blessed.

of my ladY readers; HE u ed a part
with an entirely opposite meaning) I
nodded agliin. "Ytin want a few wee,lis'•

my"sanctumlsanctoriun,l' when the "girl"
whom I called Jane, walked into my sit

that she was but sixteen years of age,, gen

of performing the-most simple actions.
When entering's room, for instance, she
-always gave a dart upon opening the door; ,
air if some one had jerked her from behind, i
and-theri waited. my pleasure with a look
'of astonishment, greater even than 1. ex,„

my little breakfast table - being near •the'

• • ".Yes, sir; I think they want a doctor,'

and frightening-the poor girl almost into

I wondered iwho "Ellen" was, and

myself with :signing to 7 him to lead the

lie saw themwhispering and . looking
he'd think they were:talking 'of Ellen

At last, one night, Ellen rushed in to me
with her face all pale and trembling:.
"He's off mother !"says she.
"Who, Ellen ?"• -
• . •
Slfe looked.-quite wild, and pointed to
the cottage. I left her half-fainting in a
chair,.
and ran - over. Ile was standing
with his white face near the door,'litting
his things together. •
" Jack," says I, -" - where are you off to."
"Going on the tramp, Mother; there's
no more work up at the Squire!s." '• •
"Jack;" sayl4 , I, "it's about Ellen—"'
" He'_never moved or answered. '
"Jack," sari' I, patting: My hand on'his

Ellen, and - .I know it'Orue. Ellen cap't
help it; but what'khe use of my stopping
here? ' She'll be - -better without me; she
looks dying like, beforemly and
cares nothing for nie; so . what's the good,
mother ?"
'" net my band drop from •his should

and I couldn't answer it,- though rtried
hard. At last r said, "lack! won't you
bid her good-bye?" FOT 1 thinight-wlien
it came to kissing her and tbe child, may
be he wouldn't go, through with it. Ile
went to. the 'window, Where he could' see
her lying in the .chair,-as I ieft• her; pale

and he - muttered something about Torn.
"It'irmit his thult4tick !",says . l.
" No," sayslie, "for God's sake stop!

He went out of the-cottage.'-I• was al
most-wild.- I called out to - Ellen. ' flush

Then . she was ill fur a long time, without
