THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

THE DISRUPTION A TALE OF TRYING TRUSS.

CHAPTER XXXVI — continued.

At length the sounds of martial music, the clatter of horses’ feet, and the hum of a rushing multitude an nounced that the Commissioner’s pro cession was at hand. Immediately thereafter the representative of royalty entered and took his seat, and the members of Assembly crowded into the church at every door. This was a moment of intense excitement. No longer was there a listless or a careless attitude to be seen. The long-looked for crisis had come at last. All was breathless attention among the crowd in the galleries as the opposing parties took their respective places in the area of the house. A whisper might be heard from one eager gazer to another

—‘ There is the Moderator ’ —‘ There is Dr. Chalmers’ —‘Yonder is Dr. Candlish ’ —or a ‘ Here comes Dr. Cook.’ And, according as party feel ing dictated, remarks where whispered regarding the appearance of the belli gerents —‘ How blanks the Nons are looking !’ ‘ How firm they seem to be !’ —‘ Dr. Chalmers looks dreadfully anxious !’ ‘ See how serene the glori ous old man is 1’— ‘ Just observe what a restless fidgetty state .little Candlish is in 1’ ‘ See how animated Dr. Can dlish is ‘ The Moderator appears to be terribly agitated 1’ ‘ Did ever you see a man so calm as Dr. Welsh in such a trying situation !’ Remarks and in terjections such as these, in subdued whispers, passed among the spectators ofthis stirring scene, till the Moderator rose to pray. So profoundly hushed was the whole assemblage that no in dividual in it but himself seemed even to breathe, and his impressive words were as distinctly heard by all as if he had been speaking close to every ear. After he had concluded there was a short pause, during which the suspense was absolutely painful. All eyes and ears were strained to unwonted alert ness awaiting what should happen next. The pause was awful as that which oc curs between the first trembling of an earthquake, and the disastrous shock. At length the good man (now, alas ! removed from among us) calmly rose, and, a firm voice, protested against the legality of the Assembly, and its further procedure. He then read a paper, in which the grounds of this protest weie fully set forth. Having done so, he threw down the protest on the table, and after bowing to the Queen’s Com missioner, left the church, followed by the whole of the Non-intrusion mem bers present. So rapidly did all this pass, that those who witnessed the movement were struck with surprise, and for a brief space could scarcely be lieve that the die was already and irre vocably cast. All was silent astonish ment, as one after another of the se ceders moved away ; and even when a shout from the multitude outside wel comed their appearance on the street, there was no audible expression of feel ing, except a suppressed murmur, among the crowd within the church. But many a wet eye was to be seen there, denoting sorrow too deep for words. There was indeed one thrilling sound. It was heard after the last of the se ceders had departed. It was a groan a deep groan —from old Gideon Montgomery. He was a member of the Assembly, and happened to be seated near his minister, Mr. Calm sough, in an obscure corner of the house, on the Moderate side. The event which made others sigh and weep, agitated him with terrific vio lence, and when he fully comprehended its decisive character, he groaned with unutterable anguish and same ap parently in a fit of apoplexy. The ac cident was observed by Sir John Bald win, Mrs. Renshaw, and Stiffriggs, who all started to their feet at once afford assistance to the sufferer. But it was also observed by another person, whom it affected more deeply —namely, Mr. Duncanson. He had come in latter than his friends, and was in a belter position to help the aged father of his Agnes. Before any other could reach him, he was atthe old man’s side, and with the aid of Mr. Calmsough, succeeded in getting him into a carriage and con veyed in safety to a lodging-house in the immediate neighbourhood. Un fortunately Mr. Montgomery had re fused to allow Agnes or any other member of his family to accompany him to Edinburgh on this occasion, and Mr. Calmsough had also come alone. There was therefore no female friend or acquaintance at hand to attend to him except Mrs. Renshaw, and her feelings were not sufficiently interested in the case, nor naturally fine enough, to render her the most desirable attendant in affliction. She seemed too conscious of this herself to volunteer her services, when, along with Stiffriggs and Sir John Baldwin, she reached the house to which the patient had been carried. Indeed she spoke so loud and created such a bustle, that the surgeon who was called on the occasion found it necessary to hint to her pretty plainly that the safety of his patient demanded quiet. She accordingly soon departed, and so also did Stiffriggs and his landlord. The afflicted old man was therefore left without any friend near, except Mr. Calmsough and the student, and the former ■was too infirm to ■ endure much watching or fatigue. On this account the medical attendant addressed his directions chiefly to Mr. Duncanson, who willingly undertook to see them carried into effect, and to sit up all night with the patient, should it be necessary for anyone to do so. ‘Yes, that is highly necessary,’said the surgeon, ‘ for it is hard to say what turn his trouble may take in a few hours. Should any change take place at any hour of the night, be sure to send for me immediately. In the meantime, all that can be done is to watch him carefully and keep the house quiet.’ In whispered accents it was arranged that Mr. Calmsough should write to Mr. Montgomery’s family, and then retire to bed, leaving the student alone with the invalid for the night. The surgeon’s language sufficiently in dicated that there was imminent danger in the case, and it was therefore with a mind deeply impressed with solemn thoughts that Mr. Duncanson turned to his solitary station at the bedside of the aged sufferer, and watched his laboured breathing and heavyapoplectic sleep. The silent midnight hours wore slowly on —so slowly that lime scarcely

seemed moving. The clock of St. Andrew’s struck the hours at intervals apparently as distant as if the machinery took long rests, and only indicated one hour in two or three. At length the faint light of dawn began to glimmer through the window-blinds, and to dim the feeble flickering of the sickroom taper; the sparrows began to chirp among the housetops, and the sound of footsteps might now and then be heard. The student moved softly to thewindow, whence he had a close view of St. Andrew’s Church and its ap proaches, lately so crowded and the scene of intense excitement. The massive building and the spacious street, now illuminated by the first rays of morning, exhibited a stillness which contrasted strikingly with the stirring aspect that the same scene had dis played but a few hours before, and awakened in the spectator’s mind an involuntary train of reflection on the mutations of human affairs and the transient nature of everything sub lunary. Here, where so lately had occurred an event that would be me morable in all time coming, already not a trace remained of the transaction, any more than if it had occurred a hundred years before, and all the actors in it had been numbered with departed generations. The transition from these musings on the fleeting phantasmagoria of the present scene to higher thoughts, was natural and easy. In this mood, the student —like one who, giddy in a whirl of moving objects, instinctively clings to something fixed and firm —un- consciously turned his wandering mind to the only unchangeable Existence in the universe. The sublime words of adoration occurred to him—

a thousand years appear No more before thy sight Than yesterday, when it is past, Or than a watch by night. As he muttered these words more audibly than he was aware of or in tended, he heard a rustling in the bed behind him, and, when he looked round observed that his aged charge had moved his posture, and was awakening. In a moment more the poor old man fairly shook off his trance-like slumber, and turned his heavy eyes with a bewildered stare on his youthful attendant. He looked hard at him for some time before he uttered a syllable, and almost thefirst words he spoke betrayed delirium. ‘ Where am I? ’ he said, ‘ Where am I ? Where is the Church of Scotland ? "What is your name, sir ? Why did you burn the Cuurch of Scotland ? ’ 1 Compose yourself, Mr. Mont gomery, you are among friends. You have been unwell, but will be better soon if you will just keep quiet.’ ‘ No, I have not been ill. lam quite well; but you are taking me away in a ship. This is a ship ; let me out ! ’ Saying this, the aged sufferer made a movement as if he would rise out of the bed, and was witli great difficulty restrained. The student, therefore, felt the necessity of arousing Mr. Calm sough, though reluctant to disturb him at such an early hour On the entrance of the reverend gentleman, his poor old friend gazed more wildly than before, and vociferated disjointed questions and assertions so rapidly, that it was hardly possible to get a word said to pacify him. At length, after he had exhausted his breath with violent speak ing, the minister said to him soothingly, ‘ Surely, Mr. Montgomery, you know me.’

‘ Yes, I know you. You are the Commissioner, are you not? No, you’re the Moderator; yes, yes, the Moderator. But why did you let this fellow come here to murder me ? ’

‘ Oh, Mr. Montgomery, you know I’m your minister, and this is your young friend, Mr. Duncanson.’ ‘ No, he is not Mr. Duncanson ; Mr. Duncanson is no friend of mine. And you are not my minister. I have no minister. This fellow murdered you and me too. He murdered me too. There, there ! see what he has done. Fie has put the Queen in that press— the Queen and my Agnes. Yes, they are in'the press. I tell you they are in the press. What’s this on my arm ? Who put this on my arm ? No, I’ll not let it alone. Now, that is all nonsense. I have not been bled. Ask Agnes, and she will tell you. _ Agnes ! Mary ! Margaret ! Why did you let them bleed me ? Oh, dear ! oh, dear ! I find there’s something wrong. Is this you, Mr. Calmsough ? is this you, my kind friend ? Oh, I’ve been wander ing, I suppose. Oh, yes, yes. True enough. But where am I ? What house is this? Oh, a lodging-house near the church is it ? Then I’ve been carried here. I must have been ill. Well, well, I’ll not speak much. No, not much ; but tell me—is it true they have hanged Dr. Chalmers ? Yes, but I will speak—-let the Queen out of that press, I say ; let the Queen out. You cannot make her pay twice —no, though you be the Sheriff, I defy you. Keep down your heads ! I say, keep down your heads, or you’ll strike against the bridge. Blockheads ! Will you take no telling. Let me out of this boat— let me out instantly ! Oh, you cruel wretches, you durst not do that if I were young.’ In this wild and inco herent manner did Mr. Montgomery continue to rave, till his friends felt they could not be justified in delaying longer to send for the surgeon. Before that gentleman arrived, however, the patient’s violence had subsided into drowsiness, and though still awake, he seemed about to sleep. The symptoms were still alarming, and it was im mediately decided that he should be bled again, and to this operation he submitted without insistence or much apparent consciousness. He then fell into a tranquil slumber, which lasted till the day was pretty far advanced. (To be continued—commenced on July 26.)

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 pi’actical 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 tins 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. Wo 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.

A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWED, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. Gd. 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. Gd. per bottle. —Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London. TnOCKLE’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 ll>d, 2s 9d, 4s Gd, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies. , .
