M., Professor of the Five Renee in tho Lifo of ite Last Lady The weather without is wet and wild; chill, though summer has hardly gone by. A great fire blitzes in the hearth of the Hall drawing-room, and on either side sit Lady Ann and her sister, Sir Lionel's wife. They are both silently watching a boy who, stretch ed on a leopard-skin rug full in the ruddy blaze, is playing at being a wild beast, snarl ing, showing his pretty tooth, pretending to be a tiger who has fixed upon and is worry ing the leopard. • When Lady Ana's eyes quit the boy it is to look towards the great window, outside which the trees are rocking in the tempest, black against a pale sky. When Sir Lio nel's wife turns from him, it is to bend over a lovely little baby-girl slekping on her knees. Sir Lionel's wife is more beautiful as a matron even than she was as a girl.— She is dark and lovely ; dark, with that sort of inwardly-alight clear darkness that one is tempted to call fairer than fair; lovely, with a gentle, unimpassioned, unimpassion able loveliness, that is in some holily mys tical way redeemed from any suspicion of insipidity. Lady Ana does not look beautiful or love ly just now; in the firelight her face shows haggard, almost fierce ; she brings her black eyes bank from the window to fix them a gain on the boy. Presently his mother softly chides him for 2d Door. 18,3;' the roughness of his, play, the loudness of his ugly poises, - tolling him he will wake andfrighten baby: • ' "Pend baby' away then-L-I must finish killing this is his answer, and ho goes on playing as before.

WITCH-HAMPTON HALL (CONTINUED.) CEEEME the gazing eyes; his lips, too thin for a child's mouth, aro at first still curled as they were while he imitated a tiger's snarl; but after a while they began to quiver ; ho could bear that ,look no longer. Suddenly his proud, unchildlike face flushed crimson, and his eyes filled; ho broke away from those detaining hands, rushed towards his mother, hid himself behind her chair. " Your boy is afraid of me, Emma," said Lady Ann, with a smile that was no less than ugly, but which Emma did not see, for just then the boy burst into a howl of angry distress, which he tried to stifle with his mother's gown. The baby woke, began to cry; nurse appeared, and would have car ried off both the children, but that young Lionel refused to go: He presently left off crying, and threw himself upon his rug—not to play again, but to watch his aunt Ana's face, which scorned to have for him some fascination full of fear. " Can't you make him obey you, Emma ? send him,away," Lady Ana said by and by, shading 'ser eyes with her hand as she spoke, but from under it still watching the boy. "Go to the nursery, Lionel, and play there. When papa comes home you shall come down again." The mother spoke soft ly and caressingly. The child paid no heed. "Do as you are told—go directly," Ana com manded. The boy coloured rebelliously, but got up and went. Emma, you will never make that child obedient; you speak to him as if you were afraid of him. That is not the way to rule a boy like that," Lady Ana said, when the door had closed, "I know," sighed Sir Lioners wife—l am afraid of hi in—afraid of making ldin naugh ty, for then he is quite unmanageable. Ido not understand him. I cannot get at the good in him. Ido not manage him well : I try so hard too—l am so afraid of not being a good mother to him. lie is a noble-look ing boy, but he is strangely incomprehen sible. Ana, - she continued, in her low, calm, monotonous, sweet voice, "do you see any likeness in my boy to any one you have over known ? There is a something that has puzzled me for years in his face—it has just now conic to me who it is that he at times reminds me of. It is very straastei—Ro you see any likeness in him to . "You can hardly c xpect inc to have found out in one day what it has taken you years to discover," interrupted Lady Ana, and her clear voice was so sharp that it started her "The boy is like his father, it seems to me." " MEM " Like his father? Dear Ana, how can you think so? Surely, Ana, you have for gotten my . Lionel, with his grand open brow, , his tawny locks, his fearless eyes of bright sea-grey. lie is so little like that I am always sorry now that we called him Lionel—little harry is much more like his father. Surely, dear sister, you have forgot ten my Lionel." "I have not firgot ten your Lionel, Emma, and still I think young Lion6l is like his fa.. ther." Ana, 1,11 , re can you find any re .emblanee ? I cannot eoneviv._t how " "I do find it—both father and mother." " You Foe no likeneEs, then, to any other person?" "I hold to what I have said : he is much like his father—there is some resemblance to his mother; beyond this I see nothing to re mind me of any one." " As to the likeness to the first, thank God that you can think so—as to the likeness to me, Lionel often says he is more like you.— I trust that this is a mere fancy of mine ; shall not mention it to Lionel—it !night pain him, for he always had a bad opinion of the man lam thinking of. How long since all that seems. Perhaps you have almost for gotten what a splendid rider he was ! Lionel says our boy is a born horseman. You nev er ride now, Ana, do you? I used to think you could not live without it. What furi ous gallops you would have on the down up there 1 I remember so well how I used to sit hero and shudder, and fancy all kinds of hor rors, when it grew dark and you did not come home. That happened so often the lust few weeks I was at home here, before my mar riage, you seemed so wild and restless—it grieved one very much. I knew what it meant, darling Ana: it was your way of hid ing from me what pain it was to lose me.— Wasn't it, love?" " In part." " And in part something else that 1 think know, too. What a wild, negected, lonely life we had when we were young ! Till Lionel came back to England there was no ono to control us or care for us,—no one with more authority than dear old nurse. It was very strange. Since I have been married, Lionel - has told me what, perhaps, you knew all along—how our father deserted us nobody knows why, though some people said he was mad with jealousy, and believed that our dead mother had wronged him—how he went away and died suddenly, before he had made any provision for us beyond asking Lionel's father not to lose sight of us altogether—and Lionel's father died, and our mother had 'no relations alive, and so we grew up with only faithful old nurse to look after us: it was very strange, and oh, how thankful I often feel that wo came to no harm I If I had not been so young and ignorant, and so used to look up to you, I should have been more frightened for you about that man. As it it was, it was Lionel who taught rue to fear for you; he always said that you were_ the more in danger, having so little fear—that the timidity which instinctively shrank from danger was a woman's best armour, and that this you had mot." Lady AniFhad risen and come close-to her sister. She bent over her and said-- 4, As you love me, never talk to me again of that past. As to that man, I'hate him so, Emma, that sometimes I hate to live, fearing that he -is still alive. Sometimes I hate all the world, fearing that somewhere he is in it Still." Emma shrank away a little and turnec very pale. " Hush, hush, hush, my poor sic tor; you who love so ,much cannot hate. Forgive me, darling ; I did not knbw you had over really , eti'red for him--1 did not know--: Ido not understand. What wrong did he do you? Aid ho plaice you love him, and ihen . did -he leave you, dearest? How was it?" You, :wrong Ina too much,. Emma. was not so: I 'toiler loVed him" .

"Ho grovelled at my feet," she said, "and I—l struck him 1 That was how we parted. Em ma, you have raised the devil, speaking of those evil times. Ho is at, my feet again : again I raise my hand : my whip is in it, and I leave my mark—yes, I leave my mark." " Ana, sister Ana," Emma had now wound her sister in her arms. " Calm yourself, my poor darling. Let love drive out the last remnants of that old hate. You are no lon ger alone and defenceless. You can never more be driven to such self-defence. It is terrible to think you should ever have known such need ; but that can never be again.— You must forgive, my darling. We must all forgive, as we hope to be forgiven I" " As we hope to be forgiven I" murmured Lady Ana, and leant her cheek upon her sis ter's hair. So they stood, wound in each other's arms. Presently Lady Ana said, in a strange, low voice— " Would it grieve you much to lose that boy ? You have the others, Harry and little Ana, and the lovely baby-girl. Surely you do not lover-that headstrong, unloving boy as you do the otheri?" "If I do not, may God forgive me l" said Emma, fervently. "But do not call him headstrong and unloving—he is not always as you have seen him to-day. Indeed, he is very good and generous sometimes. Oh, Ana, why do you say I do not love him as I do the others ? I trust I do—oh ! I trust I do—my first-born, whom I loved so much when he was a baby, that I nearly died of fear that I should loite him. Surely, Ana, you have not forgotten that. And God spared him, and you think I do not love him? Oh, Ana, what have I done—what have you seen—that you should think so?•' "Nothing." "Something there must have beeu—some thing that I have done, or neglected to do. Tell me what, darling Ana; pray 'ell me:" Just then there was a noise of wseels, barking of clogs. The sisters started ay rt— Lady Ana to ring for lights and to ordkr the tea to be served, Sir Lionel's wife to htuten to the Hall to meet her husband. The great drawing-room was lighted m, and the crimson driiiiery drawn before window, when Sir Lionel entered it, Emma hanging fondly on his arm. In the middle of the room his hostess met him. The light of a shaded lamp fell on the glorious crown ed head arid on tile fair oval cheek: she wel comed him with a sweet bright smile, and AS she stood before him thus, she was most soft ly.beautiful. He looked into her face with a Penetrating glance as he thanked her for her welcome, callibg her "my own dear sister." She met the glance with fearless gladness, and he stooped and kissed her. Then they both remembered what hind pass ed on the night when they had last met there —that night on which Lady Ana had made her passionate confession. But Sir Lionel more of their only meeting since, their meeting at hi 4 house, and sa,d— -,• We have not (net since that sad night when you came like an angel of light and mercy. into my sail household, and, under Cud's blessing., saved me my dear ones,"— She turned frtun him suddenly: he said no more about the past. When may we hope to see your hus band?" he asked, by-and-bye. " Oh, very soon; perhaps to-morrow," she answered, radiantly. Life is very weary when he is away. I grow wicked when he is away," she added, with a look at Emma. Kissing her sister, as she lingered in her room, before they parted for the night, Lady Ana said— " You have often told me that you longed for the time to come when I would know and love your husband. The time is come; I dare love your husband now, Emma dear: now that 1 so utterly, so absolutely, love my own. For the years to come we will be much toge ther—at least I trust it may be so, sweet one.'' "Was it true then, Ana? Oh, Ana, was it true what I sometimes feared ?" murmured Sir Lionel's wife. "It was. I loved your Lionel even as you loved him. I do not mind your knowing this now. lam not ashamed of having loved him ; though I am sorry—l would rather my husband had hatpin my love always:" Over these words the gentle Lady Emma pondered when she was alone. She blessed her sister in her heart, and praised her as most noble, generous, and devoted—:eould hardly grieve ovor her past pain, knowing her so happy CM "So happy!" Then came a momentary doubt of the completeness of this happiness— a painful recollection of fierce looks, wild words, such as was difficult to reconcile with love and happiness. Sir Lionel'swife deter mined that never again would she trouble the peace of her sister's present happiness by raising that spectre of the past—the remem brance of wrong and insult, and of revenge= ful passion and hate. "A little while, and she will forgetit all," she murmured ; "she has notlovod long yet. A little while, and she will forget how to hate." Lady Ana, alone in hor own chamber, that same night writes alove-letter most pas sionately tender to her husband. Then she roads and re-reads his last letter, kisses it many times, lays it in her bosom, sits hold ing it there, pressing it there, gazing into the fire. Tears of love and happiness fill and overfill her eyes and run unheeded down her cheeks. • How vary fair she looks—how tender, sweet,. and young, While the happy untroub led love-dream lasts I But there comes a gradual change—trouble and fear steal over the ftuuS. "Oh, my love, my love, my love!" She cried; "woo is me that yint ever loved , me I If, a few months, ago, .I had known what is such love as yours—if, a fowmonths ago, I had loved ypuds I love you slow, I had never, limier, never let you call the thing lam your own.

"Yes," she said, "even the senseless paper knows that what his hand has rested on my bosom is not worthy to hold." " When yki have learned to value honor and love life then remember me." It was aim star if these words were spoken in her ear rAe looked slowly round, chill after chill Awning through her blood. "_Yes, Yolir time is come," she said.

She threw?mrself on her knees and broke into most iMisionat94 treaty for any punish ment that 13 could bear alone.

"As luck would have it, or a merciful Providence—" " Alas, nurse! not for me." " Put it as you will, only you were not there—not in the room, my Indy. You were just gone up to your chamber. The children were all once down to bid Sir Lionel good night. I looked over that fiend's shoulder, creeping up the back of the hillock—l got behind him, and stood nigher the top than he. Now fear he would hear me—for the wind made the noise of wind and the sea together shrieking in the tree about our heads—so I looked over his shoulder, and saw what he saw. They were all there, as I said, and the firelight shining full - on them. Sir Lionel had a boy and a girl climbing about him—his lady had the baby on her lap, and right in the midst, standing on the rug, was young master—and you not there !—as luck or Providence would have it, you not there," chuckled the old woman. "Oh, nurse, go on," groaned her auditor. "Is he near me still ?" " No, no, not he, But listen. Cries I close into his ear, 'A fine sight, sir 'ain't it?" Saysle, turning upon me at once fierce and frightened, it seemed to me, 'Who the devil are you, you old hag ?" "Says wouldn't hurt you to keep a civiller tongue. I'm a poor old nurse-body for the village above there, with the breath well nigh blown out of rue, and hill to climb this wild night.' For reason of the wind, I still shrieked right into his ear. " Answers he, quite civil—'A tine sight, as you say—and who may those people be? And who does this grand place belong to ? I'm a stranger travelling this way by chance. Could I see the house, do you think, old mother I—not to night, of course, but it' I come again to-morrow.' (All the while I knew by the look of him that he wouldn't dare come again in daylight.) "Says I—'No, surely! and where's the manners of you to ask it ? Cant you see as the family is here?' "'?'hen he—. And who ,re "the family ?" "Then T—'Arent you a looking- at them There's the roaster and there's the young master (just striking his sister), and there's the sister and another boy to be the heir if the elder should die ; and there's the lady, mistress, and the last baby on her knees." " Then he—'Of course I can see all that as well as you, you old fool !' (only the com pliment spoken as he thought I shoulnd't hear ); 'hut NS but is the ramie of the fellow you call the toaster ?' "Then don't call any fellow master: but the master; is culled Sir Lionel. His other name is Wintenhouse, ttc something like that." Then lie---•)low comes he to he the mas er I mean, has the house been his long?' 'Thin I---• About set en year, I'm think ing. It come to him through his wife, I've heard, and was in her family.

I meant, he ad ded, as if I didn't know the sense of his big words, 'are all the rest dead ?' " Then I —•So it seems.' "Then he—•lladn't Sir Lionel's wife any brother or sister I' " Then I—' I've heard tell that there was a sister. But I'm not going to let out all I know of a good family to any stranger I meet. That's not what we poor old nurse bodies call honor." "Then he—slipping a bit of gold into my hand—' There was a sister you say—she is dead then ?' "Then T—' If all's true they tell, it's no pity, poor sinner I' " Then he—• You know more than another, I fancy. You nursed her in her—in her last illness, perhaps ? ' (He didn't speak steady.) " Then Last illness I poor soul ! It was a short and sharp one—no time for nur sing, and no need. ' "Then he, quite fierce and griping my arm—'Tell me all you knew, old woman ! how and when she died, and if she killed her child? "Then I, as fierce as he—. 'Who said she had a child? you spy, you impostor, you! You are the villain, are you ? You arc the wretch of a murderer come back to see the graves of your victims ! ' " Then 110—'1, old idiot ? Take care, or I'll insure your silence. Where are those graves you speak of?—not in the church-' yard !' "Then I—"fhere's more bodies than lie in churchyard, as there's more murderers than come to the gallows !

"Then I, making believe to be very con ning—' Look at young master there. He's just the age, and he's no lamb like his bro ther and sister.'

Last, night I had the pleasure of watching you Its you searched for something in the wood.— What you did not find I did—a little grave, a baby's. But where does she lie—the mo ther?

You remember how you made me go down 'with you to look before you'd go to bed that night ? ' " Yes, yes, nurse.• Go on." "'rhea he, as we stood by that ,gate— 'rhank you for your last words, old woman; her men - tory—something may be made of that.' "Ho leant upon the gate, hindering me from passing through, and seemed to think. I watched him. Ah, if he'd stood by the brink of the river with that evil face, and I as nigh him as I stood then, ill it would have fared with him if ho hadn)t, been able to swim. Old woman as I am, I'd have found strength to push him in;" " Hush, hush, hush, nurse:" broke in La dy Ana. " Have pity on me : the sin of all your evil thoughts is mine; have pity." " Listen I hear what he said next, with a sneer—' Sir Lionel was fond of his wife's sis ter—is fond of his wife— the family honor will be dear to him. He shall pay for it though she's dead.' " Villain as he is, that word dead seemed to hurt him—' Dead,' says he again,: dead —and that blow ?—it was only a girl's blow. Pshaw I I would forgive her, if I could af ford it; but I cannot.' "Then I— It's likely Sir Lionel will be lieve any story von may trump up against a dead girl ! a girl he and his wife almost wor ship, not knowing.' ' Then he It's not likely. unless I have proof.'

"Then he the present I'll disap point you. Just now I'm pressed for time' . (here he gltineed round him as he had done often before). If at some future period I want you, how shall I ask after you ? what, name do you go by ?' •• Then I—• In the village up there they know me as 3.1. th Or GrildeS. I'll serve _you as you serve me, my fine gentleman-'-' •• Then lin— 'Old hag ! I understand you.' Then he muttered again Dead ! dead ! Well, I'd rather let her dust rest in such peace and honor as it may—l will, if not driven to extremes !' With a 'good-evening, old mother,' he moved away. But he came back and said—' If you breathe a word any wliere about hexing seen me, not forgot you the next dark night we meet ! •• _My Ilmb. nut much to Peer from him while he believes you're dead The devil is not all bllck, they sa.} ." " But, nurse, you forget.

He ad a hunted, harried look. He'll not stop to question for fear his turn should come to answer. He's not much altered, and he was too well known in those parts. He'll not show by daylight. There was old Tam ling, the blacksmith, at Witch-hampton, and Ned Bury, the carrier, up at Chine-dandon, both swore years ago, to serve him out, if ever they had the chance, and he knows it. He'll not stay anywhere in these parts, or show in them by daylight. He wholly be lieves you're dead, and 'ull be off far enough by this. He's one as makes any place he's known in too hot to hold him again in a hurry." " Nurse, dear nurse, no more of him. It makes my very soul sick. But, nurse, lam sorry that I ever struck him ; I could almost —but, no, no, no." To keep silence, on and on, forever—is that not the only punishment I can now bear alone? Is it not heavy, heavy—will it not grow ever heavier' So groaned Lady A tut when old nurse, believing that at last her mistress slept, had gone back to her own bed, _and left her alone. POVERTY 'a FA LSE PRI DE.--.V religious contemporary says, very justly: The idea of respectable employment' is the rock upon which thousands split and shipwreck them selves and all who depend on them. All employments are respectable that bring hon est gain. The laborer, who is willing to turn his hands to anything, is as respectable as the clerk or dapper store-tender. Indeed the man eiho is ready to ork whenever work offers, whatever it may be, rather than lie idle and bog, is a far more respectable man than one who turns up his nose at hard labor, wearies his friends with his complaints be cause ho can get nothing respectable to do, pockets their benefactions without thankful ness,. and goes on from day to day a useless, lazy grumbler." geirWise men and sensible women, when it is possible, wear woollen clothing, not only for underclothes, but for their outer garments. Light flannels are most conducive to health of any articles which gentlemen use for sum mer wear. Thin linen clothing worn in warm weather is conducive of pulmonary consump tion, and many a lady, if she only knew it, ; could tittributo the cause of her illness to thin, light dress and the exposure of her arms and bosom. Lord Nelson Would not go to sea once because his men had been provided with flannel„shirts. inehes too short.

THE OLDEST IRON SHIP. We find this statement in the .London' Engineer : "The Richard Cobden, said to be the old est iron ship afloat, has entered the Bruns wick graving dock, for the purpose of hav ing her bottom cleaned and painted. She is now twenty years old, and has made twenty successful voyages to the East Indies; not withstanding some rough usage, she has never made a drop of water, and her plates are apparently as sound as ever. On ono occasion she took an entire cargo of iron from London to the East ; while on her first voyage she ran aground and flattened her bottom to the extent of three inches on ono side of the keel. She commands the high est freights in Bombay, and her owners are so satisfied with her seaworthiness that they do not effect any insurance upon her; The cost of her repairs hitherto has been merely nominal. Messrs. Dalby & Co., the princi pal owners of the Coalbrookdale Iron Works, gave the order for her construction twenty one years ago, to Messrs. J. Hoclgson•& Co., of Liverpool, for the purpose of testing the capabilities of iron as a shipbuilding mate rial. The result is evident, and while the Richard Cobden is still as serviceable as ev er, there are now no less than 76,000 tons of iron shipping in Liverpool alone." MUSIC AT HOME. -No family can afford to do without music. It is a luxury and an economy; an alleviator of sorrow, and a epring of enjoyment; a protection against vice, and an incitement to virtue. When rightly used, its effects, physical, intellectual and moral, arc good, very good, and only good. Make home attractive ; music affords a means of doing this. Cultivate kindly feel ing, love. Music will help in this work.— Keep out angry feeling. "Music bath charms to soothe the savage breast. Be economical. Pleasure, recreation, all must have, and no pleasure costs less in proportion to its worth than home music. Make `•our sons and daughters accomplished. - What accomplish ment is more valuable than music ? Fit all your daughters to support themselves in the future, if need be. There has been no time in many years when any young lady having sufficient knowledge to teach music could not pleasantly earn a respectable support in that way. " But, some may say, " I have no ear for music, nor have any of my family." Probably not one of you ever tried it faith fully. Perhaps your sons had no natural "car" for reading, or your daughter no na tural hands for writing; and certainly un less they have learned these things, they would neverhave been accomplished in them. Music does, indeed, come more natural to most people than many other accomplish ments that are next to universal ; yet it does not come to all without much time spent in careful cultivation. The one best means of introducing unisk to a family, and ensuring its cultivation, is to procure a good musical instrument. If no one of your daughters or eons can play at all, yet if they have a good instrument at hand some of them will learn. In almost every family this will be the case, Buy an instrument and try the experiment ; if it succeeds only to a very small extent, the cost will be repaid many fold.
