brother, home, and father, broke her gentle heart, and Lettice never lived to wed with him who, when friends and acquaintances shunned her, had chivalrously longed to link his name with hers. Miss Oliver has become Mrs. Bogle, and her presence in Rotherhame Rectory adds much to the happiness of the unfortunate Ellen and Mary, in whom her experienced educational efforts have succeeded in developing some latent sparks of intelligence. One chief care of the good little lady is a certain grave, just where the red beams of sunrise fall morning after morning athwart the dewy churchyard grass, at whose head stands a cross of stone bearing this brief inscription :

Here rests in God,

RALPH KENELM PLANTAGENET,

Eldest son of Kenelm, Earl of Rotherhame and Berkeley,
Aged eighteen years.

"He shall visit the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation."

"In a little wrath I hid My Face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer."

THE END.
