"I would a great deal rather think it is the moon." "Well, so it is," said Daisy. "You can think so." "Daisy, what should we do if it should be rough in the middle of the river?" "I like it," said Ella Stanfield. "Perhaps it will not be very rough," said Daisy. "But suppose it should? And where the moon don't shine it is so dark!" "Nora," said Daisy very low, "don't you love Jesus?"

We had pulled at least five miles along the coast, when I fancied that I discerned, still further on, some dark object on the sands. We pulled up to it, and there, sure enough, lay a stranded vessel. Mr Vernon now directed Stanfield to wait off about a quarter of a mile, while we went in and tried to board the vessel, to ascertain positively what she was.

Here they were to stay supper; and the ladies and gentlemen dispersed to various dressing rooms to prepare for it. Soonest of all ready and in the drawing-room were the three children. "I am so hungry!" said Nora. "So am I!" said Ella Stanfield. "We shall have supper presently," said Daisy. "Oh, Daisy, weren't you afraid in the boat, when it went up and down so?"

No definite decision could be made as to when Anthony could return; that must wait until he saw the needs of Lancashire; but he hoped to be able at least to pay a visit to Stanfield again in the spring of the following year. It was arranged also, of course, that Isabel should accompany her brother.

"Ah! if you would but make the Spiritual Exercises in my house; I will provide a conductor; and there is nothing that would resolve your doubts so quickly."

The history of this prisoner is as follows: He was about nineteen years of age when he entered the prison, which was some five years ago. His people reside in South Bend, Indiana. His father, prior to his death, was a prominent judge.

So it was a silent and sorrowful ride; and Anthony's heart rose in relief as at last up the grey village-street he saw the crowded roofs of Stanfield Place rise over the churchyard wall. Their welcome from Mr. Buxton went far to compensate for all. "My dear boy," he said, "or, my dear father, as I should call you in private, you do not know what happiness is mine to-day.

A chromo lithograph of the best sort gives all the style and manner and effect of Turner or Stanfield, or any of the best of modern artists, though you buy it for five or ten dollars, and though the original would command a thousand guineas. The lithographs from Raphael's immortal picture give you the results of a whole age of artistic culture, in a form within the compass of very humble means.

Other names of note might be mentioned before the modern reputations of Roberts and Stanfield, Beverley and Callcott, Grieve and Telbin are approached; and especially over one intermediate name are we desirous of lingering a little.
