"Indeed, Captain Loveday." "I am pulling down the division on principle, as we are now one family. But I really thought the door opened into your passage." "It don't matter; I can get another room." "Not at all. Father wouldn't let me turn you out. I'll close it up again." But Anne was so interested in the novelty of a new doorway that she walked through it, and found herself in a dark low passage which she had never seen before. "Itleads to the mill,"said Bob. "Would you like to go in and see it at work? But perhaps you have already." "Only into the ground floor." "Come all over it. I am practising as grinder, you know, to help my father." She followed him along the dark passage, in the side of which he opened a little trap, when she saw a great slimy cavern, where the long arms of the mill-wheel flung themselves slowly and distractedly round, and splashing water drops caught the little light that strayed into the gloomy place, turning it into stars and flashes. A cold mistladen puff of air came into their faces, and the roar from within made it necessary for Anne to shout as she said," It is dismal! let us go on." Bob shut the trap, the roar ceased, and they went on to the inner part of the mill, where the air was warm and nutty, and pervaded by a fog of flour. Then they ascended the stairs, and saw the stones lumbering round and round, and the yellow corn running down through the hopper. They climbed yet farther to the top stage, where the wheat lay in bins, and where long rays like yellow fe...

The carrier and the timber merchant knew one another on the road of old, and cherished mutual respect. And Mr. Arthur, from time to time, had sent a present of fruit, or flowers, or honey, to his city friend, by good care of Pugsley. Therefore, after long discourse, and easy turns of summer lanes, Mr. Tucker was set down within a mile of Lark's Cot, in the early afternoon. Timothy would have gone further with him; but the old gentleman's legs were good, and as there was'nothing in the cart for the Captain, he would not work the old horse on. How to get home was another question, but he was sure of hospitality. "Why what a lovely place it is!" Mr. Tucker could not help exclaiming, as he crossed the little meadow, and descried the cottage, nestled in with fruitful trees, and plumed with roses and honeysuckles; "it was not like this, when I bought it for him, but looked all bleak and shivering. All the work of his own hands. Ah, that is the way to fence the world out. I wonder if they will let me in. Pugsley told me to pull this wire." He pulled the wire, and a bell, that hung outside the porch, made answer; and presently Moggy, the maid, came out, with an apron over her head, because she had curled her hair on Sunday; and after a parley in broad dialect, she went to look for her master, up the stream. In a very short time, Mr. Tucker was resting in the pleasant bower by the brook, while the Captain was opening a bottle of cider, and Rose was gone to the house, to speed the prospects of an early dinner. "I am heartily glad to see you once more, in the place that owes everything to you;" Mr. Arthur said, as he filled a long bright glass with brighter...

A T this particu» lar moment the object of Festus Derriman's fulmination was assuredly not dangerous as a rival. Bob, after abstractedly watching the soldiers from the front of the house till they were out of sight, had gone within doors and seated himself in the mill-parlour, where his father found him, his elbows resting on the table and his forehead on his hands, his eyes being fixed upon a docu-----ment that lay open before him. "What art perusing, Bob, with such a long face?" Bob sighed, and then Mrs. Loveday and Anne entered. "'Tis only a state-paper that I fondly thought I should have a use for," he said gloomily. And, looking down as before, he cleared his voice, as if moved inwardly to go on, and began to read in feeling tones from what proved to be his nullified marriage licen...

Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ... Nagasaki is no longer a word of defeat, but a word of power. Nagasaki was our last peep at Japan, and we wandered through the streets reluctant to bid them good-bye. Two men with a huge drum-like tambourine beat a long tattoo, and when they stopped, a third man called out in a loud voice the name of the play at the theatre, and invited the people to come. A blind man passed along blowing a shrill plaintive note upon a reed, and thus clearing the way. Some wrestlers stopped--men overflowing with fat and muscle in curious combination, and representing the most popular amusement of the country, for even the throne was once wrestled for: and indeed, in the matter of games, football is as aristocratic and as popular, the legend running that an emperor scored well at it twelve hundred years ago, while football days were always announced in the Government Gazette. We had not seen any tubbing of this much-bathing people in the open street, nor that promiscuous washing of their person which appears in travellers' tales. Both have no doubt occurred, but they are exceptional, and may have been as little a mark of the nation as the baths at Leukerbad characterize the Swiss. Though we had seenainos, they had not performed their favourite dance, which consists in imitating the noise of a chain passing over a pulley, the regular motions of the feet representing the motions of a man who turns the wheel of the crane, and the time kept by clapping the hand. We had missed the lighthearted courtesy of other Japanese towns, where no man seems ever rude to his neighbour, where common porters will salute one another with an air of perfect breeding, and where a cabman helps his weaker fellow up a stiff bit of hill and is repaid by a charming thank you. But shopkeepers were as bus...

Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ... Church is wider than any ecclesiasticism, and they who are labourers together with God, are not to be limited to those who are ecclesiastically appointed. The religion which seeks a selfish salvation and the assurance of personal security alone, is not the religion which Christ came to establish. To be made like Jesus Christ is true salvation, and when we share His love, we must also be brought somewhat into fellowship with the sorrows of Him who in love came under the burden of the sicknesses and infirmities of the world. (2.) We learn from the spectacle of Christ's spiritual suffering under sin, how loathsome sin is to God. Not the thunders of Sinai nor the threatened penalty of eternal death can convey such a vivid conception of the nature of evil, as when we behold the disgust and sorrow with which it affected the Divine Son. Anger may terrify, but the sorrows of Jesus convince. Fear of punishment may deter, but the sufferings of the Lord under sin lead us to understand what that sin is, as in the light of God. We also learn how truly it must be the will of God to deliver us from it. There are two classes of persons to whom it may be especially beneficial to regard their sinfulness as interpreted by the suffering of Jesus. It is good for those who are disposed to think lightly of ungodliness. They accept, perhaps, certain dogmas about the fall of man and the corruption of human nature, and the necessity for an atonement, because there are texts which can be quoted in proof of these. But in their secret hearts they disbelieve their reality, and entertain such favourable views of what they term "frail human nature" as to excuse any religious defects. The cross of Christ is regarded by them chiefly in its relation to theological rather than pers...
