Gladstone then ubserves that— Sigce that time all these propositions Lave been ro- versed. TLo Pope’s fulaliibility, when he speaks ez cathedra on faith and morals, Las boen declared, with theaasent of the Bishops of tho Boman Church, to be ‘an article of failh, hinding on the canscieuce of every Christian ; s claim to the obedience of his spiritual subjects has Lean declared in like mauner without auy pracsical lunit or reserve ; and his supremecy, without any reserve of civil rights, has been i&uflafly atirmed to includo everything which relates to the discipilue and governmsnt of the Church throughout the world, And tliess doctrines, we now know on the highest au- thority, it {s of necessity for salvation o beiiove, ‘He proceeds to expose, oue by one, the subter- {foges by which Romau Catholic expositors en- Geavor to attenuate the striigencyof this claim, such, for instance, as that the Pope is only in- fallible when spenking ex cathedra ; and in the following fino passage Lo explodes tho most {frequent of these evasions : Wil it ba £aid, finally, that the infallillity tonuches only matter of faith aud morals?

Nol Such s distinction wotld be the nnworthy device of a shallow policy, vainly used to hide the dnfln& of that wild ambition which at Rome, not from the throne, but from behind the throne, prompta the movements of the Vatiean. I dare not toask if there bo dregs or tatters of human Life, such a5 can_escape from the description and boundary of morals. I submit that duty is a power which rises with us in the morning, and goes o rest withus ot night, It is coextensive with the action of our intellizonce. It is the ehadow which cleaves to ne, §0 whers we will, und which ouly leaves us when ws eavo the light of hife, 8o then it s the supreme direc- tion of us in respect to all duty which the Pontiff de— clares to balong 10 him, aacro avorobante soncilto ; and tais declaration he makes, not as an otiose opinion of ‘Iil;e schools, but cunctis jdelibus credendam et tenen- But be further insists that tho Oouncil has esteblishod _something ‘even wider in its reach than the claim to inlailibility, and tbat is * the claim to an sbeoiute nad entire obedience.” This part of the decrees of the Couneil has not, Mr. Gladstone thiuks, received dne attention, and hé expounds it with great cuergy : ;. Evea, therefore, where the judgments of the Pope 20 not present the credentials of infalliLility, they sre unsppeslsblo and irreversible, no person” may pass {dgment upou them, and al ‘men, clerical and lay, isparsedly or in the aggregate, are bound truly io obey them; atid {rom this ruleof Catholic truth no man_can depart, save ai the peril of hiv salvation. Surely it is atlowable to syy that this third chapter on universal obedience is a formidabla rival to the fourth clmpeer on infallibility, Lodood, to an observer from without, it seems to leave the dignity {o the other, but 10 reserve the stringency and afficiency 1o itself, 'The third chapter is the Mg gian_ Monarch ; thefourth i the Carolingian Mayor of the Palace. The third has an overawirg splendor; tho fourth, an iron gripe, Little doce 1t matier to me whether my superior E2bas tmtudivdlits, s a8 be is entitled to demand and, exact ; couformi his, it will be observed, ho Qemiands cven in cascs not covered by his {nfallibility ; cases, therefore, in which he sdmils it to be possible that he may be wrong, but ads it intolersbis o be fold so., AS he must b obeyed in all his judgments, thotgh not ez cathedra, it soems a pity Be could nof likewise give the comforting assurauce they are all certain to be Tight. ; - Lest this * ostensible reduplication, this ap- parent surpluesge,” should be undervalued, he observes that though the contrivers of the scheme must have Lnowa perfectly well that * faith and morals " carried everything, orevery- thing .worth . haviog, in the. purely .individual sphere, they also know just a8 well that, even where the individual was subjugated, they might and would still have to deai'with the S:ate.” lle thinks thie is the very keroel of the matter. ‘1n: dividual servitnde, howaever abject. will not satis- fy the.party now dominant in the Latin Church; lie State must aleo be a slave. - This third chap- ter, he reiterates, baldly declares that : " " Abeolute obedience is'duc to the Pope, at ths peril of kslvation, novaloe dn” faith, in momie, Lt in ali things which coacen the @isgiptine and government of the Courch, | : o - And he sums up his Indictment o this bead in tbe foilowing wordsz: ~. et Thus are syert into the Papal net whole multitndes of factsy whols systoms of government, preveiing, though in differeat degrees, in _every - country of- the world..

But the important, question . remaios : whether these propositions are not only true, but mate- rinl—whother, that is, they are of practical im- +portance. - Op -this: point Alr. Gladstone claims that it has been a favoiite purpose of his life -*¢ pot to conjure up, but to conjure down, pub- lio alarms.” * But ho cannot beliove that these medieval claims have. been disinterred * like bideous mummies " in the interest of archmolo- gy, and without s definite aud practical aim. Tuey must hiave been paraded before the world with a very cleaxly-conceired and forogons pur- pose. What iy that purpose? It. maybe in part theological. ok " There have always beax, and theroe still are, 0o small proportion of our race—ard those by no mesns in all Tespects the worst—whio sre sorely open to the tempta- tion, especially in times of religious disturbance, discliarging their spiritual respousibilities by power of attorney. As advernsing housea find custom in pro- portion, not 50 rauch to i solidity of their resources as to the magniloquenceof their promises and assurances, 20 theolopical boldness in theextension of such claims is sure 10 pay by widening certain circles of devoted adbarents, however it may repel the mass of mankind, But all morbid spiritaal l};gcfitua might have been amply satisfied by a clzim to domunion over the unsean’ worid; - Why ‘did the Roman Court lodge such formidable demands . for power of the vulgar kiod i that sphere which_is visiblo and where hard koocks can undoubtedly be given as well o8 received "? It must bo for some polit- icalobject of very tangible kind that the rixks of 80 ** daring a raid " npon the civil sphero had been” deliberatoly run. *A dariog raid,” he re- iterates, itis, for i 1t is most evident that (he yery sssertion of prinai- ples which establish an excmption from allegiance, or which impair its_completeness, goes, in many ofber countries in Earope, far more directly than with us, to the creation of politieal sirtfs, and to dangeTs of the most material and tangiblo kind. The siruggle now proceeding in Germuny atonce occurs to the mind asa palmary instunce. 1'am pot compeient {0 give an opiniott upn the particulars of that sruggle, Cho - #itatfons of ‘Germany, and the relative estimate of State power and individual freedom are materially dif- fereat from ourn, - But I must sy as much as this, Plratly, it s not Prussia alone thas is touched ; elser wliere, too, the boue Lies Teuds, though the coutantion 1may be delayed. La other states, in Austria partico- lariy, Were are receat laws in forve, ruising much the Eaue issues as the Fulck Iaws have raised. But the Toman Court possceses in perfection one art—the art of waiting ; pnd it s her wiso maxim to fight but one enemy at & tine, Beconaly, if I have truly represented the clams promulguted - from ihe Vatican, it s aifi- cult to deny that those cliims, and_ the power which bus made them, are primarily revponaible or the pains and perils, whatever they may Le, of the present con- flict between German snd Homan enactmenis, And that which was once traly emd of France may now also be eaid with not less truth of Germany—when Ger- many ia disquieted Earope canuot be at rest, Mr. Gladstone exprezses a decided opinton that the real object of tiis policy is to” rencw a struggle for the temporal power. - Ho says: "1 ghould feel lees anxiety on this subject had the Supreme Ponuf {raukly recognized his aliered Jou- tiou siuce the events of 1870, and in language as elear, i notas a4ic, ca that {n which he hus prescribed modern civilization, given to Europe the sssurance that bo would be o partto the re-establishment Ly blocd and violence of iho teimporal, puwer of th Church. It is casy to conceive that his personal benevolence, 1o lefs than his feelings ss au Itallan, must have fuclined bim individaally towsrds a course 0 humane, and { should add, if I might do it without presumptian, 20 prudent. With whit sppears toan English_eye a lavish prodigality, successive Ialian Goveraments bave made over the ecclesiastical pow - ‘ers and privileges of the monarchy, no: to the Church of the country for the revival of tho anclent, popular, and relf-governing elementa of 1ta constizution, but 1 the Papal chalr, for the establishment of ecclerinatical deapotiam, aud’ the suprression of the last veatiges of independence. This course, so ditficuit for a fartigner t0 approciate, or oven to justify, bs been met, no: by reciprocal conciliation, but by a constant fire of de— nunciations and complaints, When the tose of these denunciations and_complaints is compared with the languags of the suthorized and favored Papal organs in the press, and of the Ultramontane party (now the sale lesitimate party of the Latin Church) throughout Europs, it leads many to the painful snd revoling conclusion that there is & fired purpose among the secres juspirers of Roman policy to pursue, by the road of force, upon the srrival of any favorablo op- portunity the favorite project cf re-crecting the ter- restris! throne of the Popedom, even f it can ouly be ve-erected on the the city, and amidst the whitening bones of the peoole. . It is, he says, almost ridiculuus to imagine that such a project conld eventually succeed ; but 1t is difticult to overestimato the effect which it might produce in snnendng and exasperating strife. . It * might distarb and paralvze the ao- tion of such Government a8 might interpose for no separate purpose of their own, but only with a viow to the maintenance or restoration of the Reneral prace,” and in reference to this point AMr. Gladstone turns once more to the Roman Catholics {n Eogland. - He saya Tf the Court of Rome realiy entertains the scheme, 1t doubtless counts on the support in every country of 0 organized and devoted party, which, when it ‘can command the scaies of political power, will promote iuterloreace, an, when It in & minurity, wil work for securing neatrality, As the peace of Europs may be in jeopardy, and 34 the duties even of Eagland, a3 one, £0 to Bpeak, of its constabulary authorities, might came to be in question, it wonld be most intereeting to know the mental atutude of our Raman Catholio fel- low-countrymen in Engiand and Ireland with refer- ence o the subject ; and it soema Lo bs one on which we are entitled (o solicit information. By way of confirmation be refers to Arch- bishop Manning’s recent pamphlet on Ciesanism aod Ultramontanism. 1he pamfihle! then offers a brief reply to the question whetber the propasitions Mr. Gladstona Tias thus been defending were proper to be put for:h by him. .. In anewer to this he observes that in sssociation with the Liberal party he bas for thurty years labored to maiotain sod ex- tend the civil' tights of Roman Catholics, and that he himself aud that party have sometimea sullered heavily in puolic opinion *from & belief that it was too ardent in the pursuit of that pol- icy.” Ho thonght, therofore, that not meraly gen- eral justics to society, but special justica to his party, which Le ** mag have had a share in thus piscing at a diradvantsge Lefore our couniry- men,” rendered it begoming that he shonld make tho present_declaration. Up to 1870, however, opinion in the Roman Church on all matters af- feating civil liverty was * free wherever it was resolute,” although an evil tendency was dis- cermble. Mr. Gladstone at thab time felt it _to be the first and paramount duty of the English Legislature, whatever Rome might say or do, o giva Ireland ail that justice could demsand, and while this debt remaived unpaid he did not think it his provinge to open's line of argument on & matter of prospective rather than_immedi- ate interest, which might have Ercjudxcnd tie matter of duty {yiog nearest our hand.

A TALE OF HOMBURG. From Chambers' Journal, ‘The Lutheran cemetary of Homburg vor der Hohe has no special attraction fora stranger, un- less it be the profusion of flowers which spring up round the graves. Roscsred, white, and yel- low, dabliss, geraviumms, pansies, sweet-william, and a Jegion of wild-tloweze, seom to mock with their gaiety the sad shadows of the grave-stones. MMany of the monuments stand in a small plot of their own, fenced in by a miniature palisade, aod laid ous in flower-beds and tivy paths, a space being left for s seat under a trellised canopy. ‘These gardens are more generally left to the bounty of Nature than to the care of man, but occasionally may bo seen a eombre figure stoop- ing over a flower-bed, ar trimming the bardersof some loved inclosure. I was strolling one June evening “amid the tombs and roses, when I saw the seal in one of the little gardens occupied by a man clad in deep mourning. An Englishman certainly, from his appearance, 1 at once jndged him to be, before T had heard the volce of alittle brown-eyed, ruddy child, who waa toddling ebout the paths, and stooping over the flowers. Not far from the spot stood & man-gervant, hidden by tho arbor from ho view of the visitors to the grave. The occn- pant of the eeat, Who was a young man of neat, soldier-like appearance, was gazing vacantly upon he little girl, who was engaged in filling & wire basket with flowers, picked withno small amount of dificulty. When filled, this wzs carred to her father (for so I uaturally guessed him to be), duly arranged by Lim, and then laid a3 an offer- ing at the foot of the bright green mound. This done, tha child, clambering up to her father's side on the reat, asked him solemnly: “ Will mother like to smell them, father 2" T am sure sho will, darling,” was the reply. T was all this time concealed behind an adjoin- ing monumont, whence I watchied avary move- ment of the wourneis who had eo aitracted my attention. Presently, the man-servaor, coming forward, intimated that 1t was getting Iate, and, with an air of authority, mingled with respect, opened the amall gate of tbe inclosure for his master to pasa out. ~ The latter, kneeling for a moment, with his forehead resiing upon the cross which sprang from some ivy-clad rock- work at the head of the grave, Lissed the name inscribed, and, followed by his daughter, who insited npon shutting the gate herself mith great carefulness, took the path o the entrance of the cemetery. As soon as they were out of u:fi:t, 1 hurried to the spot which "had already awakened inmea strong feeling of cnciouty, and read theso words. inscribed 1n gilt character on a cross of white marble: Hier rubet in Gott, LorzEz MARGARETHA MARTTY, Geb. den 23 August 1849, Gest. den 3 Mai 1870, On the reverseof the crozs, an Engzlish inscrip- ion ran thus: Here resta in peace, LOUISE MARGARET ManTYx, the dearly loved wite of CvRIL JonN MARTIN, late 3 Cap- tain 1 Her Britannic Majesty's ——th Hussara, Born 22 August 1849, Died 3 May 1870, After gazing sadly at thego words, and noting wmuch taat I have described, [ bout my way home- wards, in a gaddened stata of feeliog. It was easy enough to read a tale of sorrow in what I had seen; but thero was'something mors to be read between the lnes, I feic sure. The expression of the widower's face, sod the an- thoritative manuer of the servant, could not but mesn something. Howover, I soon afterwards entered the gardens of the Kurbaus, and min- led with the crowd of promenaders. MMy tnen:‘ %r. Fichte, bad asked me to eup with bim th: eyeniug ; he would be sure to know eomsthiog about the Maityos, if there wag aoything worth telling, so that 1 did oot fall to avall myeclf of s fuvitation. After our pleasant little meal, when the Doctor had palled down from the wall a chioa pire, with a stem as tall as himself. and 1 bad filled my own pipe with caporal, I told him what I had seen in tue cemetery. * Ah! there’s a sad story about them, my friend, almost too ead for a bappy meeting like the present: but you ghall hear 1t. It was in 1869, somewhat early in the season. that an En- glish gentleman, named Martyn, called upon me for advice. He was a stroug-looking man of athletic build, and nad one of sour regular En- ghish 1aces, expreasive of coolness and resolve. From his appesrance, I should bave raid that there wes not 'a healthisr man in Homburg ; nor was it aasy for me, after a carefal examio- ation, to discover hisailment. But I necd not tall you, tbat it is often the phvsician's duty to devote his attention to an 1msgiwary sickness, and to listen with as interested an air to de- lusions as to real suffering. ‘Without entering into any technical details, 1t will_be enough for me to £ay that my patient described himself as suffering from genoral debility and lack of energy. He said he was always losing, ground, that luck was against him, and tbat there must be some one thing radically wrong in his consti- tution, which prevented hia plaving 2 successful part 1o the world, He had tried all sorts of sys- tems, as he called them, but they bad failed mis- erably, aud be was now a broken-Gown man. He sssured me that he had no mental cause of anx- iety, that he was perfectly bappy 1n his domes: relations, and that be was not in any degree hy- pochondriacal. I prescnibed for him a course of bathing, early Lours, and regunlar exercise, and, on his taking lesve, begged for my wife to be allowed to make the scqaintance of Mrs. Martyn. This request, you must naderstand, I made from & desiro to have a few words' conver- sation with my patient's wife regarding his case. But 2 be grew fidgety and nervons oo my mak- ing the proposal, I bade bim good-bye with the tope of eeeing lum again i my own house, His ‘manner had tended to confirm my rising appre- heusion that my patient’s _disease was not of such & nature a8 we can miuister to, and, after a second prolonged visit from him, I felt the abso- lute necessity of putting myself into personal commaunication with his wife. I had already mads ber acquaintance in the gardens, and had been struck by her aingular grace and sad beauty of expression. £ called at their lodgings one day after my afternoon’s work, aud was ushered ab once into a small room at the top of the house, which was in Dorotheenstrasse, a street not much frequented, 8s you know, by your countrymen. I found Martyn and his wife seated opposite to each other at a small table, on which was placed an oval board covered with green clotn, and marked with the plan of & rouge-ct-noir table. Opposite Mrs. Martsn, who was acting 88 croupier, was placed the invenlaire of the bank, consistiug of rouleaux of gold and silver, two small boxes with compaitments for various pieces of money, the talon of white marble for the aille of six packe of cards to stand on, and the basket into whichthe used cards were thrown. Murtyn’s back was turned towards me as I enter- ed the room ; his wife faced me, €0 that I caught at once her glance of ang and angiety, re- vesling 10 & moment the nature of her husband’s silment, which I had suspected to be beyond my ower to care. < Messieurs, faites le jew," called out the poor fe. - *Come, Doctor, try your Juck,’ eried the poor madman, a8 e placed four gold pieces on the red. *Our midimom is 2florins; and I never go higher than 100.” ey *I put a coupla of florivs on the red, Alra. Martyn called out: **Lejeu est fail, rien ne va plus ;" dealt out in two iois the requisite num- bber of carda; and saying: **.Rouse perd—couleur gagne,” sweops off her husband's gold and my 1lorius, and takes some freshcards from the taion for the next deal. * Bowing to the poor n‘mnEler, whose s2d, ge- rious face told plainly enough what it cost’ ber to keep her poor nusband this amnsed, I said sadien to my patiens, from whom, boweyer, Ihad no kmiall difficulty id getsing away.

Archbishop Manning on the Future Policy of the Catholic World. From the London Times. Archbisbop Maning, st a large meetiog of TRoman Catbolic clergy, noblemen, and lay as- ‘mistants, nssembled 8t his house on Thursday ovening, delivered an inangural sddress to the Roman Catholic Academin in reference to the future policy-of the Cathiolic world. Thirteen {enrfl 220, he exid, it was found necessary to ex- end the work of the association in England, and he was glad to say that they had doue much to correct and educate the press of this country, In the present crivis, and looking to the coming grost future_siruggle, they had o vast work be- fore them. Looking to tho hostility manifested on the Continent to the Sovereign Pontiff, he invited their special attention to the best means of neserting hus_tofallibility and his right to spiritusl and temporal power. Onue thing he would call their attention to. namely, that, since his temporal power on the Continent had been denied him, bhis spiritual power and influence over his subjects had greatly incieased. Com- mentiog upon the proposed system of intorua- tional arbitration, discussed at the recent Con- ference at Genevn, he exid thers could be but one authorized arbitrator between the nations of the earth, and that ona waa the one who was not interested in the. temporal affairs of one bation more than another, but was impartial to ai, and that was the Bovereign Pontiff hiumseif. Other queations which he wvited their most serious aitention to were the infallibility of the Holy Fathor himself, bis right to_temporal as wall a3 &piritual authority, and, amidst adl the conthict- ing opiuions of the world, the ultimate necessity of wknowledgmg civil alieginnco to him as their only eatety. Within the last twenty-four hours it had been intimated to him that the Catholic world was threatened with a controversy on the woole ®f the decreea of tho Vatican Council. From this aud other matters that had come to his knowledge, he could eeo that they wera on the very eve of one of the mightiest contro- versies . tha religions world has ever soen. Certainly nothing like the coutroversy on which they were about. .to eunter had takod? place during tho last 800 years, and they must be prepared. It ~ they would only prepare themselves, ho did not fear for the docrees of the Vatican iteelf. But they muwst have Do half-hearted ineasures. They must have no half-fearful, half-hearted assertion of tho Soverelgn Poutiff 's claies, Thoy must not fear to declaro to Enpglind, and to the world, the Sovereign lontif's claim to infallibility, his mngbl- to temporal porer, and the duty of the nations of the eartk to return o their allegiance to bim, If they did this, if they proclaimed this with no uncer- tain sound, Protestants of England and Pro- testanta throughout the wortd would hear them and be convinced. 1f, on the other hand, they minced matiers, and spoka in half-fearful meas- ures, Protestants would only turn away from them for their want of honesty. Protestants kuew well what they meant and what the claimns of the Oatholic Curch were, and therefore it would be gest for the Courch now to speak out, and he had no fear for the result. Lorda Shaftesbury on Science and g teclizion. * Ima rcoent addressthe Earl of Shaftesbury ssys: Ifhohad the wealth of Giasgow, or the irealth of & [ew people 1n it, 80 far from fearing the progress of science, a8 many people did, he would spend no end of money to encourage it. He would urge upon these masters of wizdom that theydid not plunge deep eoough: they should go further and wider and higher. He wished a thousand times 2s many minda were en- gaged in scientific pursuits, A few emmont men Beid s monopoly, aod_they crustisd the punlic with their crude snd abnndant faucies. But there was no greater folly than that committed by those who yould maintain rovealed truth by couater-theories. The Bible has suffered far ware from its friends than from its enemios. In their imudity, they bave deprecated ingniry, and 80 have appeared to distrust their own Zion, In tneir overzeal—as if the Bible could nottake careof itsclf—they have proceeded to mive ex- planations and ioterpretations which the lan- guage of Scripturs would never jnatify, and then gome clever scientific man laid bold of 'it, andin lus criticisms bas overthrowa the faith of many by his just and hia ridiculing obecrvations. Had he the wealth of Giasgow he would say to Max Muller and his Orionialiats ; * Here is the sum of £50,000 ; collect the facta yon require. Seod abroad yourmen. You say langnages are dying out; send abroad and take the dying Epeech, the last confessions of these dying tongues.” He would send the same eum to Prof. Tyndall, aod say to him: *Accumulato your facts; 1 don’t cars sbont your theories, bat tarn your powerful intellect to the pursuit of facts.” He firmly believed that if Glasgow or any wealthy ity were to come down with such & means of ad- vancing sciencs they would see that, in less than ten years, that grand old book woold be like the ark qsun the top of Mount Ararat, surveying the subsiding of the waters and rejoicing in the ros- toration of lifo and joy. Cardinal Cullen on Materialism and t Moody. - __From the London Duily Tedeqraph. Oz Nov.

Accomplished, good- bumored, bandsome; every one loved him, and our first year's married lite was unclonded by a speck of trouble. We had spent our winter’s leave of abaence in Germany, my husband hav- ing wished to callect information abont the Prus- sizn military eystem, Wwith the view of writing on the subject. “We stopped Lere on our return, and one day, by way of amusement, going up to tho roulette-table in the Kurssal, my hasband put & napoleon on No. 19, which was then the number of my yeara.

My busband effected an exchange tos regument in'India, and we were spending the Iast anxions weeks in my old bome. He hadlefime for a fow daya to go fo town on business, and I was eager- 1y looking out for & letter from him during this our firet separation, when at last came tha wished- for envolope, with & foreign hesd on it and Btamped with the post-mark, Homburg v. d. H. Fortunately I was zlooe 28 I read, almost terrifi- ed, that my husband had gono to Homburg, with a viow of winning a handsome sum of money with which to buy an anzaity for his father. The suceess of his first venture in gaining 35 napol- eons bad in & sense demoralized him. "He had now plunged into gambling ; commencing toplay with great luck, and winning £500 on the Grst evoning.

The anxicty I'felt to be with my bustand, when I readl this terrible letter, prevented my yielding to anything like useless grief; I got resdy my traveling things in an hour, and telling my people at home that Cyril wanted to see mo immediately on pressing business, I left our housein time to reach London by mid-day. Fortunatelyan that very morning & half-yearly dividend of money of my own had been forwarded tome in the cus- tomary way ; I cashed this at our banker’s, and afier pasaing & wretched afternoon in London, of course all alone, I left by the mail train for B I mast tell yon that, wanting to res. somewhers, I _had wandered into our Academy Exbibition of Pictures, and had there been at first staggered, and then fascinated, by a large painting of a rouge-gt-nour table, surrounded by every rapresentative of gambliog life.

We must stay at Homburg antil more of my dividends were sent to me, then hasten home, and hurry ont to India, where we conld live_on Cyril's pay, and perhaps send some of 1t to his father. My husband got more cheerful as the evening wore on; and as we walked throngh the Schioss garden into the cometery, he sid: * Well, I shan’t huve to lie here after all, Louise, having shot myself through despair.’ _Tired ont as I'was, I went to bed very early, and was soon asleep, when I was awakenad by the nowse of some one gropingabout | near the dressing-table. 5 . “It:is I, deac; don't be alarmed,’ said Cyril, a8 I asked in terror who was there. ‘Iam only looking for my cigar-case. “Heguumad s frightened as I was, and his voice trembled as he answered- me, The next morning, when I had occasion to open my puree, all my notes were gone, and there was nothing in it but some bits of tobacco-leat sticking to it, as though ic had been carried in the pocket with loose cigars.
