"Am I to understand that you think one ought not to marry out of his section?" he nsked, making the rector's case a possible opportunity for ascertaining his own standing. "Oh! I wouldn't say nnytlung so radical as that," she replied, stroking her horse's mane; "only, it seems to me, there are many reasons against it. You don't understand you can't understand how much sectional feeling there is in the south." "I know there used to be, but I thought it was a thing of the past, since the war." "It is, in some senses, I suppose, and in others I think it is as strong as ever. My father fought for the south; and if you could know how strongly my sympathies are enlisted upon the side of some of the things which you think are dead issues, there would be only one word in your vocabulary that would fit me an ugly little word of five letters." "I hope I am broad enough not to apply it. Miss Latimer.

I think I can put ruyself in your place sufficiently to understand that thure may be many and honest differences of opinion." "It'tf right kind of you to say that especially as your side has the better of the argument; though I'm not so sure about that, either. It's one thing to starve people into submission and quite another to subjugate them." "I believe I can appreciate that, too." Neither of them spoke again for a few moments, and then Hester called his attention to a jutting crag project house, near Guildford, which belongs to the earl of Onslow, but which is at present let by him to a tenant. Here the ghosts, for there are three of them, have but recently made their appearance, and though they seem quite familiar with the centuries-old structure which they inhabit, no one of this generation has been able to recall anything uliout them. The first is that of a beautiful lady, richly attired in a cream-colored silk robe and wearing a profusion of great jewels. Sometimes she covers the cream-colored silk with a black cloak, nnd occasionally she carries a dngger or a tumbler in her hand.

AH the domes-tics say they have been here many times, nnd the under footman stoutly maintains that he once saw "the lady in cream" take a book from the library shelves, and after glancing through its pages, carefully replace it. The second specter is more terrifying, for it appears in the form of a very ugly female black dwarf, with a glil-tering ring in her nose, and hose dress indicates a condition of servitude. She always bears in her hand a lighted lantern. A rough-looking man makes up this phantom trio, and he has a great beard that is evidently the pride und joy of his ghostly existence. He is noi so often seen as the lady in cream and her hideous companion, and has the bearing of one oppressed by a great sorrow.
