THE STORY-TELLER.

THE DISRUPTION: A TALE OF TKYING TIMES.

CHAPTER V— continued.

! Meantime, Robin Afleck, seated at the kitchen fire, was subjected to a searching ordeal of questions and cross-questions from Mrs. M'Glunchagain on the one side, and her maid-of-all-work on the other. Robing in his simple honesty, was perfectly frank and open on all sub jects, except as to one of the motives for coming to Edinborough which related to Dr. Snapperdudgeon. But the stress of .the examination turned not on his own affairs, except in as far as they were con nected with Mr. Duncanson, concerning whose recent proceedings both mistress and niaid manifested the most extreme curiosity. When his final rupture with his aunt was mentioned, they both held up their hands in amazement at his im prudence, and declared that he was a lost'young man. As to his project of living by teaching, Mrs. M‘Glunchagain treated it with scorn. She never knew one of them who could afford to live gen teelly after coming to that pass. No, no ; it was not by teaching, even in the best season of the year, that any young man •could pay for the use of her second-best bed-room and parlor, and she was afraid after what she had heard, that Mr. Dun canson must look out for other lodgings. Griselda, the house-maid, seized on a different point of attack. She was by no means satisfied that Mr. Duncanson had ‘given proof of good sense in his romantic attachment to Miss Montgomery. There must be something strange about that .'-young lady, she said, for she never Baw ' Mr.. Duncanson, for as long as he was about the House, look as if he knew the ' difference between one woman and an other- Dr. Snapperdudgeon himself, she Added, though a man who might be his father, was another kind of person for a woman to, serve. One had to have their best looks on when he Was in the house. “Dr. Snapper—what!” exclaimed Robin, starting to hia feet in perturb ation.

“Dr. Snapperdudgeon,” replied Gri selda. “D’ye ken him?” : •“ Ou aye, yes—no ;at least no particu ; larly,” said Robin, in a confused manner that betrayed his uneasiness. He pro ceeded with some caution to inquire how the Doctor happened to be known there. - “It wad be strange,” rejoined Griselda, if he werena well kent here, when this is the hoose he puts up in, every time he conies to the General Assembly, and that’s juvt as often as the Assembly hauds • its meeting.” ; ' Worse and worse, thought Robin; he, however, said nothing in the kitchen on ' the subject, but went straight to the par lor and broke in. upon Mr. Duncanson just as he was finishing his letter to < Miss Montgomery. “Oh, Maister •Times !” he exclaimed, “ye ha’e fairly brocht me intil the corbie’s nest. Man, what for didria ye tell me that Dr. Snap perdudgeon stops in this verra hoose ever year at the ’senably time 1 ” “ Upon my word, Robin, I had entirely - forgotten that circumstance, for though I have seen the Doctor here, I came but little in contact with him, as he stayed only. a few days at a time, and was . scarcely ever in the house except at . night ” I .‘r\Yee>l, ye see, I’m in a pretty scrape, , for though we should flit the mom he may be here on us afore we get awa’; and . at ony rate he’ll be sure to hear that we’re 'J. in the toun, and then there’ll be naething but law and vengeance, black-hole and finin’ without stint or measure. ”

“You speak, Robin, like a man with a guilty conscience. 1 thought you were prepared to stand on your innocence. ” “ Guilty conscience! innocence ! Eeg3, I’ll never tak’ muckle guilt to my sel* for yon business, though they could, pruve’t on me. I’ll ne’er alloo that the tup or me did an ill turn, though the bully-ragging Doctor had been deeper laigered and made ten times . than he was, for I ken how he

used you Maister Jimes. I heard it a’ and saw the maist of what took place between you, thanks to a hole in your auntie’s winnock-shutters. But, ye see, tho’ I mainteen my innocence to the last,

it’ll mak’ nae difference if the Doctor gets me under the harrow teeth o’ the law. <. He’ll rive me to bits, and jist be vext that it’s no lawfu’ to eat me. So if ye please, we maun be aff frae this hoose by . the screigh o’ day, and try to find some tod-hole whaur the Doctor can ne’er get his clauts owre me.” “.You know we have already agreed to seek a cheaper lodging, so we can remove from this as soon as you like to-morrow, .only we had better wait till we fix on other quarters. ” “ Na., na, Maister Jimes; I’m clean ; against that; We’ll get itlier - quarters ready eneuch, I doot na ; and as we hae v pae bag or; baggage wi’ us, there’s nae s- thing to gar usbide a minit after we come owre the bed-stock in the mornin’. ”

With great difficulty Mr. Duncanson managed in some measure to allay the fears of his rustic companion, and to postpone their departure from Mrs. M'Glunchagain’s till after breakfast next day. At that time, they sallied forth in quest of new lodgings, and the student being bent on cheapness and Robin on obscurity, their objects were in perfect harmony. Robin, though country-bred, was by no means destitute of knowledge of the town, or diffident of his own capa bilities for managing business matters. He accordingly, after some inquiries (which they made jointly) had proved fruitless, undertook the search himself, and arranged to meet Mr. Duncanson a few hours afterwards at a given place, and report progress. This left the student at leisure for a while, and he employed the time in strolling round the brow of the Calton Hill, and reposing on the crest of that fine eminence, to enjoy the magnifi cent view it commands. While there, he was approached by three gentlemen in black, walking arm-in-arm, discussing some subject in which they all seemed to take the most intense interest. As they drew near, Mr. Duncanson recognised them all as clergymen of the Established Church, and of what was termed the Non intrusion party. With one of them, the Rev. Mr. Aspen, he was a little acquainted and to the others—whom we shall call Messrs. B. and C.—he had been intro duced on a former occasion. He was immediately accosted by Mr. Aspen, and was soon in conversation with the whole party. “ You are early returned from the country this season, Mr. Duncanson,” said Mr. Aspen. “I suppose the im mense importance of the approaching Assemby has. drawn you back to Edin burgh. Well,” he proceeded, assuming his conjecture to be correct, “ I give you credit for your zeal. The time has come when every friend of the Church must buckle on his armour, and probationers are specially called upon to take a decided part in the great contest which is now going on.”

Mr. Duncanson was admitted, into free conversation with the reverend trio, for he was known to have a pretty • strong learning to the same side in the great ecclesiastical controversy. He listened with deep attention to their discussions, but seldom put in a word except to ask a question for his own satisfaction, or to answer one when his opinions were ap pealed to. He heard enough to convince. him, had he needed any new proof, that the men were warmly in earnest in be lieving the privileges of Non-intrusion and Spiritual Independence to be essential to the efficiency of the Church, and due to it by right. But he was grieved to. discover that their hopes were strongly fixed on having these claims conceded by the Legislature—so strongly indeed that he was afraid they were not prepared to make the sacrifices which, in case of their demands being refused, consistency would call for. They talked no doubt, of abandoning all the advantages of connec tion with the State, and flinging their en dowments to the windß, rather than con tinue in bondage of the civil courts, and see the Church ruined by Erastianism and unbridled patronage. But they spoke so confidently of compelling Government to listen to their claims, and seemed so earnest for a united demonstra tion in favour of them for the purpose of influencing men in power, that Mr. Dun canson feared they did not contemplate the possibility of a disappointment. He was confirmed in this apprehension by the manner in which some of the doubts he threw out were met. When he ventured to hint that he had little hope of any legislative embodiment of the claims of the Church, and he was afraid that the Tory Government of Sir Robert Peel would even be less favorable to the principle of Non-intrusion, owing to the popular character and tendency of that principle, than the Melbourne Cabinet had been, he was answered by his friend, Mr. Aspen, “ Never fear that Mr. Duncanson. No Conservative Government can afford to disregard the Church of Scotland. We have only to show our strength to secure attention. It is impossible that statesmen (especially such a statesman as Sir Robert Peel) can be indifferent to the consequences of allowing the influence of the Church to be impaired. We, the clergy, are the most efficient of all Conservatives, and that our rulers very well know. It was little wonder that the Whigs betrayed us. They were the promoters of the great political changes which first brought the Church into difficulty by strengthening the hands of Dissenters. They made it imperative on us to move from our old and strong defensive position and adopt the aggresive measure of Church exten sion and the veto. The Whigs have been the authors of all our calamities, and it is little wonder we found no help in them ; but surely something better is to be ex pected from the present men. They know that we cannot retreat from our present position with honor, and they can neither wish to see our influence destroyed by our dereliction of principle, nor the Establishment ruined by our secession. They will not—cannot—even for their own sakes, leave us only the choice of being ruined in character or in wordly possessions. ”

“It is quite impossible,” said Mr. “Utterly,” responded Mr. C. “Trust not in princes nor man’s son, In whomffiere is no stay,” was Mr. Duncanson’s only answer to these united expressions of confidence in the Peel administration.

“ True,” said Mr. Aspen, “we must look higher than to the most exalted of earthly rulers, but we must treat with men according to the power with which they have been entrusted ; and next to a patient waiting upon Providence, I see nothing better we can do than prove to Government and the Legislature that we are too strong in influence, numbers, and unanimity to be trifled with.”

“ But what if they should prove obdur ate ?” asked James, with a view to sound the resolution of his seniors.

“Why, then,” answered Mr. Aspen, “ our duty will be plain. We must give up all for the sake of principle. If our fore fathers sacrificed life itself to vindicate the great principle of Spiritual Depend ence, shall we think it too much for us to renounce temporal comforts in the glor ious cause ? We cannot turn back with out incurring ruin in a different and more important sense—ruin of character ; and the ministers of the Church of Scotland are not the men to prefer riches to repu tation.”

“ Well, well,” replied Mr. Duncanson, “I am satisfied since this is the case. I was only afraid that many who are em barked in this causa were too sanguine of a favorable issuo for the Church in her controversy with the civil powers, and net prepared to take the proper courso should their hopes of legislative interference be ultimately blasted, as I fear they will.” “ Then you anticipate that the only solution of the difficulty in which we are placed must be our renunciation of the endowments ?” inquired Mr. Aspen. “ I do,” answered Mr. Duncanson.
