A few weeks since it powerful tale from ‘Caleb

grapl.-it: skill and great ability, the slow and constant
process ofci't.ii.-lty by which a drunken clergyman
-bud inurdercd his \vil'e—wliile the son, a young in-.-.n,
was utscliool. In the Nov. number it is concludcd.
I The clcrgyiniiii persuades his dziiiglitcr to bring

‘ She (.'0I1SClIIS'—\'l:‘.Ii.S licr brotlicr
lfinds that he, too, has become the victim of the wini:

Good. He will be soon proi-'it‘li=d for, I
have providcri for hiiu an appointment in
India. Tell him so. It is better that he
should pass the littlc time that he v.:il»l remain
in England away from home. It may save
:1 bi‘c:-icli. I
do not wish to call and irritate him_. He is
ow-t‘ busty, I have lietirrl. But he scents
pcaccziblc, and disposed to keep so, I think
you said ‘.7

Ettfly as it was, the wine bottle was al-
ready on the lllI)lt'.

moment that he made this request, and as l
ri;'tpt‘o:ichcrl the table to comply with it, he
iuistatl the decanter ruechzmically, and poured
from its contents zmotlier gloss-full.
out it word _m' a sign. and as if unconscious
ofthe act, he (lronk it of}. 'l‘o such an ex-
