very much in her Tractarian views by one of he husband's curates (who had undertaken his duty, under his most distressing affliction), became very shortly after her bereavement a Roman Catholic, and entered a convent near Paris, as a professed Nun, whither in the first moment of her grief, she had gone to her sister Adelaide, who, as we before stated, had married a foreigner, having changed her religion for his. Mr. Priestley's two curates, we are told, became Priests of the Romish Church. The Priory was put

up

for sale, being private property, and Sir Allyne Vivian became the purchaser.

Lady Ethell's youngest sister, the Lady Lucy Forster, became, at a later period, the wife of Mr. Livingstone's only son, with whom she made acquaintauce when on a visit to Edith, on her return from Hereford to her father's house.

But it was not without difficulty, however, that she obtained Lord Hetherington's sanction to her marriage with Cecil Livingstone; but she had been so good a daughter, he said, he could refuse her nothing. Presenting, therefore, the young man with a good Living, he no longer withheld his consent.

Her sisters did not marry, but she had the happiness of being made instrumental to their real conversion of heart. Both Lady Eveline and Lady Mary became as zealous in their support of Truth as they had been in the propagation of Error.

One word of Mildred Vernon, now de Vere, before the scene closes.

Her marriage was as happy a one as could be wished. She was the very joy of Lord and Lady Camhays, who could not but congratulate their son on his happy choice of so amiable a person.

Mr. and Mrs. Vernon lived near them, and lived to see Mildred the happy mother of many children.

The Rectory of Everton is the abode of Sunshine, Marion ever assisting and gladdening her husband's return (from the oft fatiguing duties of his parish), with her happy smiles. Her flower-garden rivals the one at the Park, for she is always gardening when she can steal a moment from her various duties as a clergyman's wife-which are never for an instant neglected. Mrs. Vivian passes much of her time with her son and daughter, more and more convinced of the truth, that it is true religion only that can give solid happiness.

Sir Allyne and Lady Vivian are ever ready and anxious to enter into any good work proposed by Arthur or Marion, for the circulation and advance of religious truth around them, being well assured that the first duty, next to God, of every Christian, is to his neighbour; that they who have largely received the knowledge of the Truth, should as largely distribute the same, and fully persuaded that the Clouds of darkness, ignorance, and superstition can alone be dispersed effectually by the glorious Sunshine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

THE END.
