Hardness of heart will not let love so affectionately and sympathisingly act as it should. Sense and reason being polluted will not let hope be so steadfastly fixed upon unseen things as it should. Pride will not let us be so humble as we ought, nor self so self denying. Passion often interrupts our patience, and angry motions our meekness.

"Too bad, Polly, you weren't in at the death," said the little old earl, sympathisingly, when at the hunt-breakfast following, the brush dangling to a victorious young lady's belt, had been admired as an extremely fine one. "Never mind; better luck next time, little girl."

She knew what a warm faithful little heart she had to do with, and unaware as she was of Frances's slight fear of Jacinth's displeasure, she perhaps overestimated the trial it was to the younger sister to be debarred from giving her confidences to the elder one. 'I'm very sorry, she said, sympathisingly. 'I really am very sorry indeed.

"Yes, sir," said Dan'l; and he went off grumbling, while the doctor seized the prop, and went into the vinery. "Are you much hurt, Dexter?" said Helen sympathisingly. "I d'know," he replied.

Nothing has happened to him, I hope, Frank? I should be so very sorry," she added, sympathisingly, "for I know you are very fond of him."

In speaking of the Major we have taken little notice as little, indeed, as Agatha did of the younger Mr. Harper. "My brother, Miss Bowen. He came home when my sister Emily died." The brief introduction terminated in a slight fall of voice, which made the young lady look sympathisingly at the handsome face that took shades of sadness as easily as shades of mirth.

"Who knows," replied her father. "I shall be glad if Wolff comes." The tone in which he uttered the name of his future son-in-law distinctly showed how little he desired to meet any other member of the family, and Eva said sympathisingly, "Then I hope you will have an opportunity to remember me to Wolff."

Poor old ship! we've sailed many a mile together, she and I; and now, to think that, crippled by that gale and almost having completed her v'yage, she should be burnt like a log of firewood off Cape Horn!" "Never mind, sir," said I, sympathisingly. "It has not happened through any fault of yours."
