CHAFTEtt XXI Continum.
His reverence having, doubtless, regularly laid
his plan of attack, at length broke silence, heated
a deep sigh, gave to Lis,, countenance, lately so se
vere and irritated, a touch expression of kindness,
and said to Oabriel, in an affectionate voice,
Forgive me, my dear uon, for having kept si
lence. so long; hut your abrupt determination has
so stunned me, and has raised within me so many
painful thoughts, that I have had to reflect for
some moments, to try and penetrate the cause of
this rupturo, and I think I have succeeded. You
have well considered, my dear son, the serious
nature of the step you are taking?''
Yes, father.",
"And you have absolutely decided to abandon
the society, even against my will?"
"It would be painful to me, father hut I must
resign myself to it."
" It should he very painful to you, indeed, my
on; for you took the irrevocable vow freely, and
this tow, according to our statutes, binds you not
to quit the society, unless with the consent of
your superiors."
"I did not then know, father, the nature of the
engagement I took. More enlightened now, I
ask to withdraw myself; my only desire is to
obtain a curacy in some village far from Faris. I
feel an irresistible vocation for such humble and
useful functions. In the country, there is so
much misery, and such ignorance of all that
could contribute to ameliorate the 'condition of
the agricultural laborer, that his existence is as
unhappy as that of a negro slave; for what liberty
has he? and what instruction? Oh! it seems to
me, that, with God's help, I might, as it village
curate, render some service to humanity. It
would therefore be painful to me, father, to see
you refuse"
"Be satisfied, my son,'' answered Father d'Aig
rigny; " I will no longer seek to combat your de
sire to separate yourself from us."
"Then, father, you release me from my vows?"
"I have not the power to do so, my dear 'son;
hut I will write immediately to Rome, to ask the
necessary authority from our general." V
, ; VI thank you, father."
Soon, my dear son, you will be delivered from
, UiCBe bonds, which you deem so heavy; and the
"men you abandon will not the less continue to
'I pray for you, that God may preserve you from
still greater wanderings. You think yourself re-
, leased with regard to us, my dear son; but we do
not think ourselves released with regard to you
It is not thus that we can get rid of the habit of
paternal attachment. What would you have?
We look upon ourselves as bound to our children,
by the very benefits with which we have loaded
them. You were poor, and an orphan; we
stretched out our arms to you, as much-from the
-interest which you deserved, my dear son, as to
spare your excellent adopted mother too great a
burden."
" Father," said Gabriel, with suppressed emo
tion, " I am not ungrateful."
"I wish to believe so, my dear eon. For long
years, we gave to you, as to our beloved child,
food for the body and the soul. It pleases you
now to renounce and abandon us. Not only do
we consent to it but now that I have penetrated
the true motives of your rupture with us, it is my
duty to release you from your vow."
"Of what motives do you speak, father?"
" Alas! my dear son, I understand your fears
Dangers menace us you know it well."
" Dangers, father?" cried Gabriel.
" It is impossible, my dear son, that you should
not be aware that, since the fall of our legitimate
sovereigns, our natural protectors, revolutionary
impiety becomes daily more, and more threaten
ing. We are oppressed with persecutions. lean
therefore, comprehend and appreciate, my dear
son, the motive which, under such circumstances
induces you to separate from us."
" Father!" cried Gabriel, with as much indigna
tion as grief, "you do not think that of me you
cannot think it."
Without noticing the protestation of Gabriel
' Father d'Aigrigny continued his imaginary pic
vure of the dangers of the company, which, far
from being really in peril, was already beginning
"secretly to recover its influence. .
"Oh! if our compaoy were now as powerful as
it was some years ago," resumed the reverend
father, "if it were still surrounded by the respect
and homage which are due to it from all true be
lievers in spite of the abominable calumnies
aV
with which we are assailed then, my dear son
we should perhaps have hesitated to release you
from your vows, and have rather endeavored to
open your eyes to the light, and save you from
the fatal delusion to which you are a prey. But
now that we are weak, oppressed, threatened on
-very side, it is an act of charity, not to force you
to shire in perils from which you have the pru
dence to wish to withdraw y urself."
Fo saying, Father d'Aigrigny cast a rapid glance
at his socius, who answered with a nod of appro
bation, accompanied by a movement of impatience
that seemed to say: " Go on! go on!"
Gabriel was quite overcome. There was not
in the whole world a heart more generous, loyal,
and brave than his. " We. may judge of what he
must have suffered, on hearing the resolution he
had come to thus misinterpreted.
"Father," he resumed, in an agita'ed voice,
whilst his eyes filled with tears, "your words are
cruel and unjust. You know that I am not a
coward.''
" No," said Rodin, in his sharp, cutting voice,
addressing Father d'Aigr'gn, and pointing to
Gabriel with a disdainful look; "your dear son is
only prudent."
These words from Rodin made Gabriel start; a
slight blush colored his pale cheeks; his large and
blue ayes sparkled with a generous anger; then,
faithful to the precepts of Christian humility and
resignation, he conquered this irritable impuhe,
hung down his head, and, too much agitated to
reply, remained silent, and brushed away an un
seen tear. This tear did not escape the notice of
the socius. He saw in it, no doubt,' a favorable
symptom, for he exchanged a glance of satisfac
tion with Father d'Aigrigny. The latter was
about to touch on a question of great interest, so,
notwithstanding his self-command, his voice
trembled slightly; but encouraged, or rather
pushed on by a look from Rodin, who had be
come extremely attentive, he said to Gabriel:
" Another motive obliges us not to hesitate in
releasing you from your vow, my dear son, It is
a question of pure delicacy. You probably
learned yesterday from your adopted mother,
that you will perhaps be called upon to take pos.
session of an inheritance, of which the value is
unknown."
Gabriel raised his head hastily, , and said to
alhor d'Aigrigny: " As I have already stafed to
M. Rodin, my adopted mother only talked of her
scruples of conscience, and I was completely ig-
orant of the existence of the inheritance of
which you speak."
The expression of indifference with which the
young priest pronounced these last words, was
remarked by Rodin.
" Be it so," replied Father d'Aigrigny. j5 " lou
were not aware of it I believe you though all
appearances would tend to prove the contrary
to prove, indeed, that the knowledge of this in
heritance was not unconnected with your resolu
tion to separate from us."
" I do not understand you, father."
"It is very simple. Your rupture with us
would then have two motives. first, we are in
danger, and you think it prudent to Jeave us
"Father!"
" Allow me to finish, my dear son, and come to
the second motive. If I am deceived, you can
tell me so. ' These are the facts: Formerly, on
the hypothesis that your family, of which you
knew nothing, might one day leave you some
property, you made, in return for the care be
stowed on you by the company, a free gift of all
you might hereafter possess, not to the poor, 01
whom we are the born shepherds."
"Well, father?" asked Gabriel, not seeing to
what this preamble tended.
"Well, my dear son now that you are sure of
enjoying a competence, you wish, no douot, uy
separating from us, to annul this donation made
under other circumstances."
"To speak plainly, you violate your oath, be
cause we are persecuted; and because you wish to
take back your gifts," added Rodin, in 'a sharp
voice, as if to describe in the clearest and plain
est manner the situation of Gabriel with regard
to the Society.1"' ' r "F ' ' :
At this infamous accusation, Gabriel could only
raise his hands and eyes to heaven, and exclaim,
with an expression of despair, "Oh, heaven!
Once more exchanging a look of intelligence
with Rodin, Father d'Aigrigny said to him, in a
severe tone, as if reproaching him for his too
savage frankness: "I think you go too far. Our
dear son could only have acted in the base and
cowardly manner you suggest, had he known his
Dosition as an heir; but, since he affirms the con

Editor American: Dear Sir: Hav
ing received three communications In
retard to whether I want to continue
my aubacrlotion to your most excel
lent paper, var answer la yea. but
l not able to pay the subscription
just now as money matters are very
close with me at present Being in
debt on my home and trying to meet
my payments this winter has made it
pretty tough for me. I like the Ameri
can and would not like to do without
it, and I thank God that we have a
man who is not arraid to boldly ana
earnestly unfold the deviltry of Ro
manism. The time is come that some
thing must be done and done quickly
to rid this country of the dreadful
viper which the American people have
been fondling, petting and caressing,
until now enfolded in Hs slippery coils
and threatening to fasten its dread
ful fanrs Into the very heart of our
nation. The treachery manifested in
the Maine disaster and the destruc
tion of Americans is only a faint pic
ture of the diabolical spirit of Jesuit
ism and priestcraft, and yet some
would advise a small indemnity to
heal the breach, setting a price on
American blood and at riot Ism as if
this nation had nothing to do but
raise up vlrtrms for Rome to glut her
vengance upon and over, which she
can fearlessly practice ner infamous
tyranny. No,
at once and let it be a decisive and
final one; blotting forever from our
land the red hand of Romanism, and
put an end to those dirty dens of vice
where so many poor girls are impris
oned and treated so shamefully, which
is a disgrace to any country, and es
pecially one who longs to boast of
independence and liberty. But per
haps I am getting my letter too long
You can publish if you think it

such cases Hood's Sarsaparilla is just

"The grip loft me with a complication
