THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

THE DISRUPTION A TALE OF TRYING TIMES.

CHAPTER XXXVII — continued. Mr. Bacon reached Edinburgh only a few hours after the seceders from the General Assembly’ had marched to Tanfield. When he found he was too late “to prevent the Dis ruption,” his mortification was extreme. It was long ere he found words to ex press his disappointment. He paced restlessly through his dust-covered, desolate rooms, often sighing and stand ing still to ponder on the opportunity he had missed of making his name im mortal. At length the words came, and there flowed such a torrent of lamentation from his lips as might have deplored the ruin of Carthage or the burning of Moscow. ‘ I have been a day too late—just a day too late ; but that day is irredeemable. Had I been here yesterday this fatal rupture could hot have happened. No ! I would have seen the hot-heads of both sides, and acted as umpire between them ; I would have taken the whole business of reconciling them into my own hands, and made up all their differences, and secured the country against a flood of innovation and anarchy that cannot now be prevented.’ ‘ Fegs, sir,’ replied Robin A fleck, to whom this Jeremiad was addressed, ‘I think it wad be wyser-like if ye wad try to keep the rain frae coming through your gavle. The house has gaun to wrack for want o’ pottying and plaister ing. And -what for need ye fash your sel’ aboot the Kirk ? Odd, I’m shure it was nae pet o’yours when it was hale and soun’. Mony an ill name it got frae you; and it’s droll that ye vex yoursel’ noo to see the aul flail fleet in twa and fit for neither ae thing nor anither,’

‘ There again, now, Mr. Afleck, you speak without knowledge. I con demned the Church of Scotland for its democratic Presbyterian constitution ; but I did not wish to see it destroyed or split up into fragments. No; my object was to transform it into a splen did Episcopal Church, with all ranks and degrees among its clergy, from the curate to the archbishop. And I could have done it had I just been in time to divulge my scheme before this unlucky rupture happened.’ ‘ Fegs. sir, I jalouse it wadna ha’e signified” the difference between four pence and a groat whether ye proposed that plan o’ yours sune or syne, for the Kirk o’ Scotland never was a horn that could be crookit into any shape but its ain.’

‘ Nonsense, nonsense ! Mr. Afleck. All Churches are essentially the same, and may be twisted into any shape ac cording to circumstances ; but, when they break in pieces, it is then they be come unmanageable. Every separate sect and division takes a form of its own, that only the devil himself can deal with. They become turbulent, contentious, and wholly ungovernable. What a noble opportunity I have missed, of preventing this calamity to Scotland.’

£ lf ye think it worth while, ye may maybe get them to gree yet. Fegs ! if you can show them ony profit it’ll be to themsel’s, there’s nae fear but they’ll find some way o’ southerin’ up their differences.’

1 A good idea; upon my word a good idea ! The glory of carrying my pro ject into effect, after what has happened to-day, will be doubly great if I suc ceed. At all events it is worth trying. Let me see, let me see—how should I proceed ? ’ Here Mr. Bacon paused for a while to meditate, and then ex claimed in a transport of delight— ‘ I have it, Mr. Afleck, I have it 1 I shall convene all the moderate, reasonable men among the clergy —as many of them, at least, as I can get a list of—to meet here to-morrow, and consult on the best means of undoing the mischief that has been done, and placing the Church once more in a position in which my grand scheme may be prac ticable. The moderate men will in fluence the rest, and in this way unite the whole body again as firmly as ever.’ “ But hoo will ye manage to gather them thegilher? Suppose there be a dizen or twa o’ saft kind o’ easy-osey men that could straik the rest by the hair and get them to ’gree again, hoo are ye fit to gather them ? Have ye thocht of that, Mr. Bacon ? l Oh yes, I see my way perfectly. You must go immediately into the town and find out Mr. Duncanson, or anybody else likely to know who are the waverers on both sides—the mem of Assembly who are sorry for the rup ture that has taken place, and not very decided how to act. Bring me a list of the whole of them, and by the time you return I will have cards ready to be addressed to them all, and though I should sit up the whole night, I’ll have the cards posted in good time to be delivered early to-morrow morning. The hour of meeting shall be one o’clock afternoon, so they may all be here who choose to come. I think, Mr. Afleck, you will admit I have laid my plan pretty well’ • ‘ Ou, no amiss, no amiss ava; but hoo ye’re able to write a score or twa o’ cairds between this and the morn’s morning, is mair than I can see for the life o’ me. Od !it takes me the feck o’ a day, whiles, to write ae letter; and its the sairest wark I set me face till.’

‘Pooh, pooh ! I don’t intend to write the cards at all, man. I’ll print them with my little hand-press in the draw ing-room. I can set up the types my self in half-an-hour, and with the help of Neddie, I shall have at least a hun dred thrown off before ten o’clock. So you had better set off at once without loss of time and get me the list of names; and I’ll manage all the rest easily/ Robin did not wait for further orders, but set out on his mission at once, resolving, however, to make more of it than he was authorised. He went straight to Mr. Duncanson’s lodgings, but, on account of the circumstances detailed in last chapter, did not find him. The residence of the Rev. Mr. Aspen {vide the experimental dinner) was not far distant, and thither Robin next bent his way, for he had seen and heard enough of the reverend gentle man, to know that he was one of the waverers. Mr. and Mrs. Aspen were both at home, and the factor of Auch terbardie soon - stated his errand. The minister looked surprised when he

heard it, and began to catechise Robin rather tartly. ‘ You say you are now factor to this Mr. Bacon of Auchterbardie?’ ‘ Yes, to be shure I am.’

_ ‘ Is he the same gentleman that your friend, Mr. Duncanson, was a while ago employed by?’ ‘ Jis the vera man.’ ‘ He was considered a little crazy — wrong in the head—wasn’t he ?’

‘ Folk may consider him what they like ; but I can tell you, sir, he has a hantle mair sense than mony a ane that has mair need o’t.’

‘ What do you mean by that remark, Mr. Afleck?’

‘ Ou, I just mean that Mr. Bacon could afford to be clean daft better than the maist o’ folk can afford to want a penny o’ the shillin’.’

‘ Is he so rich ?’ ‘ Rich ! ay, he’s as rich as a cheese owre fat to baud theg’ther.’ ‘ And what, pray, has he to do with the Church of Scotland?’

‘ Ou, he has the pawtronage o’ his ain parish. That’s a’ I ken he has to do wi’t. But he gars himsel’ believe that he could save the Kirk yet frae couping the crans, if he just had an hour’s crack wi’ some o’ the reasonable’ decent men in’t like yoursel’. ‘ I suspect that is one of his visionary notions; but as it seems he is a gentle man of considerable influence, I don't see harm of complying with his request. He proposes to hold a private meeting in his own house to-morrow, at one o’clock, you say ?’ ‘ Exackly.’ ‘ Where does he reside ? In Crescent, I think.’

‘ Ay, at No. to. Ye’ll see his name —Mr. Horrid Winking Bacon, Esq.— on the door.’

‘ Well, I shall probably attend, and hear what he has to propose.’ * Oh, Charles!’ exclaimed Mrs. Aspen, who had listened to the preceding con versation with much impatience— ‘ how can you think of anything so foolish !’ 1 Foolish ! Rachael, how do you know that Mr. scheme is foolish, till you hear what it is ?’ £ I don’t speak of Mr. Bacon’s scheme, or any other in particular ; but I must say it is foolish of you not to know your own mind yet, and to pay attention to any more schemes either good or bad. Surely you must see now that no scheming whatever can give you any choice between remaining in the Church of Scotland and going out; and it would be well for your peace and credit too if you would make up your mind to take either the one course or the other with a good grace at once.’

‘ Hush, Rachael, hush ! I know very well what I’m about, so keep your mind easy. I may improve my position, but can’t make it much worse, what ever step I may take, and I’ve sub mitted too long to be a cypher in the Church. By-the-by, Mr. Afleck, is the incumbent at Auchterbardie far up in years ?’ ‘ I dinna ken wha ye mean by the incumbent; but if it’s the minister ye mean, I wad say he’s no just sae far up in years as he’s doun in drink.’ ‘ Drink ! Is he a drunkard, then !’ £ Ou, he’s maybe no just what ye may ca’ sic an ill name as that, as he happens to be a minister; but he drinks like a fish, and often canna preach for the hiccup.’ £ I shall make a point of being at Mr. Bacon’s to-morrow. Is Mr. Duncanson to be there ?’

£ That’s mair than I can say, for I havena seen him yet. There’s nae doot but he’ll be bidden though, and get the chance o’ coming if he likes. But whether he come or no, I’ll warrant there ’ll be plenty there. Mr. Bacon means to send cairds o’ invitation to every man iri the minister tredd worth consulting; and if ye ken o’ ony in the business that ye could particularly re commend, I’ll be obleeged to ye for a bit list o’ their names.’

‘ Mr. Afleck, I very much disapprove of your irreverent mode of speaking. You ought to know that the ministry is not a trade but a profession.’ £ Ou, I beg your pawrdon, sir, for as shure’s ye’re leevin’, I didna ken there was ony difference.’ £ Well, well, I excuse you on the score of ignorance, and shall give you the names of a number of enlightened clergymen whom I should be glad to meet with. No doubt, we have met often enough already to little purpose, but never in circumstances so pressing; so perhaps some good may arise from another consultation, irrespective alto gether of what Mr. Bacon may have to propose.’ ( To be continued—commenced on July 26.)

Too Much Makkied. —A young man resident in that “ paradise of the perfect,” yclept Birmingham, has involved his country in the consideration of some prettily-knotted points. This adolescent Midlander has succeeded in concocting a puzzle compared with which the Bend Or case, added to the game of fifteen mixed up with the identity of the “ Man in the Iron Mask,” and subdivided by the Queen’s Regulations, are all as the mere dust of a balance. But to the story. The young man has had three wives. The first one was married to him in due form ; the second one is said to have been already married before she married our hero, and was therefore no wife at all ; and the third wife w r as married on the decease of the first wife and therefore is the only legal wife which this Lothario has now got. But the man has been apprehended for bigamy, and the lawyers think there is something in the case.

GRATEFUL COMFORTING EPPS’S COCOA. 1 BREAKFAST. 1 BY a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of ] digestion and nutrition, and by a careful - application of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctor’s bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every ten pency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame. See article in the Civil Service Gazette. Made simply with boiling water or milk. Sold only in packets or tins, labelled : JAMES EPPS AND CO., HOMOEOPATHIC CHEMIST, LONDON. 91 °o Medical. Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button. ” It has been in use in America, and is highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from eething or other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. I^-d. —Depot, 493, Oxford street. _ W' HO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. fid. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “ One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. fid. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London. OCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the flowers of the camomile. They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and. other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be .understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new or dangerously active ingredients ; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes at Is l|d, 2s 9d, 4s fid, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies.,
