standing that the whole group was undoubt edly executed at one timo, the modelling of that figure wasfmore archaic by half a cen. tury than the the modelling ot its fellows. The teet, for instance, are turned sideways ; and in order raise tho goddess above the com batants, she ia mounted on a little pede stal. . . " Some regard that as a naive device of early art," said Lancelot. " Others contend tbat the figure is meant to represent, not the goddess in person, but a statue of the god dess,"

" And which are right ?" " Who shall say ? I have my own notion about it-as our declamatory friend has his notion. And of course I fancy my own notion is the right one." " vv bat is your notion?" " Well, I have been to ./Egina; I have ex amined tliat temple ; and I believe that, ancient as it is, it occupies the site of one still more ancient. It was once surrounded by a walled terrace, and the foundations of that wull aro of prehistoric masonry. So, in my opinions, are the foundations of the platform on which the temple stands. Now my notion is that this statue is probably a copy of one much older, which may have Btoodin the 'cella' (that is, the Holy of Holies) of the first temple. Hence its nio.d archaic type. I ennnot, ol cours, vouch fcr that first temple. It may i never have existed, save in my imagination. But such Is my idea." . Then he told her how, the island being volcanic, these groups were probably flung from their places by a shock of earthquake ; and how they were found, broken and buried aud Overgrown by bushec, just where they had fallen, at each end of the building. And then he described the position of yEgina—■ bowitliesfacingthc Atticcoast, fairand soli tary, in view of Athens an 1 the Parthenon ; mountain looking to mountain, temple to temple, with the blue sea between and the clear 'Greek sky above. " It is forty years since the soil was dis turbed and these figures were unearthed," he said. And now ] the tamarisks and myrtles have grown again ; and storks make their nests in the angles of the cornice, and goats browse in the sanctury of the god dess." "It must be a beautiful place!" said the girl, wistfully. "There is not a more beautiful spot_ in Greece—or in tho world," he said, lookine at her earnestly. "Would you like to see it ? I will take you there-some dyy." She heard the words ; but without heed. in« all thai they implied. She was pictur ing to liernelf the scene as he described it— tho HOlitary ruin ; tho placid tea; the flowering tnyrtlcH. "rjomii day I" «ho repeated, dreamily. Ho bent nearer. UiH breath came warm upon her check, " When, deareat ?' lieHaid, passionately. " When?"

It was all ovor now—the suspense, the uncertainty, the silence. He loved her. He had loved her always—always—from the time when, a lad at culle»c, he came home for his first long vacation, and was taken to call upon the ladies at the Grange. He loved her then with a boy's enthusiasm ; he loved her now with a man's steadfast ness. It had been his first wild dream ; his one romance ; tho poem, the passion of his life. He never dreamed when first he saw her—nor. indeed, till long after—that •he wa« intended for his Drother. Cathbert was of all men the most reticent; and he, Lancelot, was so many years younger than Cothbert, tbat it was scarcely to he supposed the elder brother would at tbat time have taken the boy into his confidence. Then, wben at lost the knowledge came to him, it was too late. He loved her ; and his love bad gone too deep for cure. Yet he did what he could. He struggled with his passion as with a terrible temptation. He strove to cast it out, as though it were a deadly sin. He iled from it, as from a scathing fire. But he struggled, and strove, and fled in vain. It possessed him ;it pursued him ;it mastered him. Go where he would, he could not get away from it. It had become a part of himself. Not to think <>f her—not to dream of her—not to long lor the sound of her voice, was as im possible a« to live without breathing. All he could do was to avoid her. To that sac rifice, at least, he was equal. This was why he lived his years of Art- Studentship in Paris. This was why he so rarely came home. This was why he iso lated himself at Old Court. Used she to wonder why he lived so much away from father, and brother, and home ? Did she lay it to his devotion to his art ? Ah 1 she never guessed that it was because he loved her. He kept bis secret well, in those days ! That lie kept it bo well—tViat he could look hit brother in the face, and near lilm talk of the future, and never betray himself by look or word—that was his one great con tentment. Ho would have shot himself rather than betray that secret. Better all the anguish of silence, better all the bitter nets of absence 1

And then ■when Cuthbert was lost to them —when that great and terrible sorrow befel —still, and more than ever, he buried his secret in the depths of his heart. For he would not, he could not, believe that hia brother might never come back. And were not Cuthbert's rights, and Cuthbert's happiness, and Cuthbett's honour, dearer to him than even his own ?

Then, as the years went by and brought no tidings—then there dawned upon him, little by little, the prospect of a possible fnture. As hope faded on the one horizon, it rose upon the other. Still he waited ; still he doubted ; still he held his peace. At last .... Well, she knew the rest;

Pho know how reluctantly he had taken his brothers name end place. But, having taken thim, lie seemed by that one step to have overleaped the barrier that separated their lives, "From that moment, all was changed. From that moment, he put away the renunciation of year?, making np his mind to remain silent only until he should have taken the oaths and succeeded to his Inheritance. But to this last resolve he had not acted up. His love had been stronger than his will.

All this, hurriedly, eagerly, with vehe. menco ot long-suppressed passion, Lancelot Brackenbury poured out; not so much pleading his cause, ac accounting for tho time that was past. " And I never betrayed myself I" he said, holding her hands fast in both hia own. "Mv love !my darling I—in all those many years, I never betrayed myself—you never knew it I"

She was looking down; listening and trembling a little, and very pale.

"No," she said, softly. "You never betrayed youreelfrbut—but I think I always knew it"

"And you always loved me ? Ah, my sweet, say that you always loved me I" A|faint flush crossed the pallor of her cheek. She looked up Her eyes met his as innocently as the eyes of a questioned child.

" Yes," she answered gravely andsimply. " I always loved you." He stooped and kissed her on the lips tbat no man—not even his brother—had kissed before.

Th<&n they talked, as lovers are wont to talk in the first hurried moments of their joy; and time passed ; and the hour of closing came. The eloquent Englishman and his party, having worked round from hall to hall, emerged by way of the modern sculptures, and went out talking of Thorwaldaeu's Adonis and Spalla's bust of Napoleon the First. The Art students, who were drawing in the Hall of Apollo, put away their crayons and packed up their boards and easels. The giant counted his groschen, looked at the clock, and wondered what had become of the lady in black and the gentleman who always gave him a florni. At last, wben the minute and hour hands stood within a hairs-breadth of meeting, he took up his wand, and before barring the doors, went tound to clear the rooms; And there he fonnd Lancelot and Winifred still, as he in his simplicity believed, absorbed in contemplation of the yEgina marbles. They had forgotten all about closing time. They had forgotten the meek giant, and the fighting warriors with their vacant faces, and the archaic Pallas on her pedestal. What cared they now for Greek or Trojan ? What to them was the slaying of Fatroclus ? They thought of nothing, re membered nothing, but the present rapture. The past, with its glory, its poetry, its art, was for the moment as though it had never been. . They>ent out, like children hand in hand ; nnd the goddess seemed to look after them with her stony smile—that self-same Btnile with which, in the foregone time, she had so often looked down upon lovers lingering within the precincts of her temple. How many a turtive meeting had she not witnessed when the doors of the sanctuary were closed, and the priests were gone, and the evening star had risen I What vows ot constancy had she not Overheard— what prayers—what promises 1 And where are they nor.-, those youths tbat wooed, those maidens that listened ? They lived, they loved, they died, they are forgotten :—that was what her cold smile seemed to say. Life is a flower that withers; Love is a breath that fails. But the sculp tured stone, the chanted ode, the deathless deed, live on, and are immortal. (Jo be continued on Saturday.)

Although the Sin er Sewing Maohines are comparatively lato in the Hold, yet tho oxtraotdinary demand for them during tho past few yearß—as iadicated by tho successive annual salaß—has obliged this enter prising company to inoroa' •> their Factories to an extent that seems almo 'norediblo. The largest of their Factories Is at Elizabeth, New Jersey. Here, tho main building has 1100 feet frontage; Forging Shops, 700 foot; Foundry,6oo foot by 100 feet; Cabinet Shop, 200 foet; PackiDg Shops, 200 feet; Tho main building has four floors: the Cabinet and Packing Shops have each three floors. Entire works employs 3,500 men. Tho yard contains 0 miles railroad traoka, There are also Factories at, or near, the City of Glasgow, and the dimensions of these worns may be imagined, when we say that 2,500 hands here, as at the American works, find constant employment. The turn-out of Machines alone is 100,00 every week, or, at the rate of 500,000 (half a million) for the current year. The various parts and new acco'sories. needles, on, &c., &o, required for tho 3,500,000 Sowing Machines, which are in use all over the world- these demand special attention and much labour.
