 “Katie?—some one else? My darling, does he love her?” said Madame
Roche. “Then it is God who has undone all, Desirée, and I am content. Let
him come to me, and I will bless him. I will bless you all, my children,” she
said, raising herself up, and stretching her hands toward them. “Ah, friends,
do you see them—so young and so like each other! and it was he who
sought us, and not Huntley; and it is I who am wrong—and God is right!”
Saying which, Madame Roche kissed Huntley’s cheek, dismissing him
so, and took Cosmo into her arms instead. Her sweet temper and facile
mind forgot even her own failure. She put back Cosmo’s hair tenderly from
his forehead and called him her hero. He was her son at least; and Desirée
and Melmar, the two dreams of his fancy, between which, when he saw the
girl first, he suspected no possible connection, came at once, a double gift,
the one eagerly sought, the other totally unthought of, into the Benjamin’s
portion of Cosmo Livingstone.
 CHAPTER LXXVI.
“There’s aye plenty fools in this world,” said bowed Jaaoob; “a’thing
else that’s human fails; but that commodity’s aye ready. I had my hopes of
that laddie Livingstone. He has nae discrimination, and hasna seen the
world, like some other folk, but for a’ that I thought I could perceive a ring
of the right metal in him, and I’m no’ often wrang. And so Cosmo’s to be
marriet! I dinna disapprove of his taste—that’s a different matter. I even had
a great notion of her mysel’; but when the lad’s married there’s an end of
him. Wha ever heard tell of a man coming to distinction with a wife at his
tail?—na! I wash my hands of Cosmo—he shall never mair be officer of
mine.”
Jaacob did not address himself to any one in particular. The news with
which Kirkbride was ringing was great news in its way, and a little crowd
had collected in the corner, close by the smithy, to discuss it, a crowd
composed chiefly of women, chief among whom, in a flush of triumph and
importance, stood Marget of Norlaw. Jaacob did not often concern his lofty
intelligence with the babble of women, but the little giant was interested in
spite of himself, and had a warm corner in his heart for both the heroes who
were under present discussion. A lusty blacksmith apprentice puffed at the
great bellows within that ruddy cavern, and Jaacob stood at the door, with
one or two male gossips lingering near him, which was a salve to his
dignity; but Jaacob’s words were not addressed even to his own cronies;
they were a spontaneous effusion of observant wisdom, mingled with
benevolent regret.
“The man’s in a creel!” cried the indignant Marget—“an officer of yours,
Jaacob Bell?—yours, ye objeck! and I would just like to ken wha gave the
like of you ony right to ca’ our son by his christened name? Na, sirs, ye’re
a’ wrang—it just shows how little folk ken about onything out of their ain
road; and canna haud their peace either, or let them speak that have the
knowledge. The auld lady—her that was Mary of Melmar—would have
given our Huntley baith the land and the bonnie lass, if it had been her will,
for she’s a real sensible woman, as it’s turned out, and kens the value of lads
like ours. But Huntley Livingstone, he said no. He’s no’ the lad, our
Huntley, to be ony wife’s man—and he has his awn yestate, and an aulder
name and fame than Melmar. There’s no’ an auld relick in the whole
country-side like our auld castle. I’ve heard it from them that ken; and our
Huntley would no mair part with the name than wi’ his right hand. Eh! if
auld Norlaw, puir man, had but lived to see this day! Our Cosmo is very
like his father. He’s just as like to be kent far and near for his poems and his
stories as Walter Scott ower yonder at Abbotsford. It’s just like a story in a
book itsel’. When he was but a laddie—no’ muckle bigger than bowed
Jaacob—he fell in with a bonnie bit wee French lady, in Edinburgh. I mind
him telling me—there’s never ony pride about our sons—just as well as if it
was yesterday. The callant’s head ran upon naething else—and wha was this
but just Miss Deseera! and he’s courted her this mony a year, whaever
might oppose; and now he’s won and conquered, and there’s twa weddings
to be in Kirkbride, baith in the very same day!”
“In Kirkbride? but, dear woman, Miss Logan’s no’ here,” suggested one
of the bystanders.
“Wha’s heeding!” cried Marget, in her triumph, “if ane’s in Kirkbride,
and ane in anither kirk, is that onything against the truth I am telling? Sirs,
haud a’ your tongues—I’ve carried them a’ in my arms, and told them
stories. I’ve stood by them and their mother, just me and no other person,
when they were in their sorest trouble; and I would like to hear wha daur
say a word, if Norlaw Marget is just wild and out of her wits for aince in her
life to see their joy!”
“I never look for discretion at a woman’s hand mysel’,” said bowed
Jaacob, though even Jaacob paused a little before he brought the shadow of
his cynicism over Marget’s enthusiasm; “they’re easy pleased, puir things,
and easy cast down—a man of sense has aye a compassion for the sex—it’s
waste o’ time arguing with them. Maybe that’s a reason for lamenting this
lad Livingstone. A man, if he’s no’ a’ the stronger, is awfu’ apt to fall to the
level of his company—and to think of a promising lad, no’ five-and-twenty,
lost amang a haill tribe—wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and
gude kens how mony friends forbye—it’s grievous—that’s just what it is; a
man goes down, a man comes to the calibre of the woman. For which
cause,” said bowed Jaacob, thrusting his cowl on one side of his head,
twisting still higher his high shoulder, and fixing a defiant gaze upon the
admiring crowd with his one eye; “in spite of mony temptations—for I’ll
say that for the women, that they ken a man of sense when they see him—
I’m no’, and never will be, a marrying man mysel’!”
 “Eh, but Jaacob,” cried a saucy voice, “if you could have gotten her, you
might have put up with Miss Roche.”
“Humph—I had a great notion of the lassie,” said Jaacob, loftily; “men
at my years get above the delusion of looking for a woman as a companion.
It makes nae muckle matter whether she’s ca’ed a foolish woman or a
sensible ane; its naething but a question of degree; and when a man finds
that out, he has a right to please his e’e. When you hear of me married, it’s a
wife of sixteen, that’s what I’ll have gotten; but you see, as for Miss
Deeseera, puir thing, she may be breaking her heart, for onything I ken. I’m
a man of honor, and Cosmo’s a great friend of mine—I wouldna, for twenty
Melmars, come between my friend and his love.”
And amid the laughter which echoed this magnanimous speech, bowed
Jaacob retired into the ruddy gloom of the smithy and resumed his hammer,
which he played with such manful might and intention upon the glowing
iron, that the red light illuminated his whole swarthy face and person, and
the red sparks flashed round him like the rays round a saint in an old
picture. He was not in the least a saintly individual, but Rembrandt himself
could not have found a better study for light and shade.
A little time sufficed to accomplish these momentous changes. The
Mistress gave up her trust of Norlaw, the cows and dairies which were the
pride of her heart, the bank-book, with its respectable balance, and all the
rural wealth of the farmsteading, to her son. And Huntley warned the
tenants to whom his mother had let the land that he should resume the
farming of it himself at the end of the year, when their terms were out.
Every thing about Norlaw began to wear signs of preparation. The Mistress
spoke vaguely of going with Patie, the only one of her sons who still
“belonged to his mother"—and making a home for him in Glasgow. But
Patie was an engineer, involved over head and ears in the Herculean work
of the new railways; he was scarcely three months in the year, take them
altogether, at the lodging which he called his head quarters—and perhaps,
on the whole, he rather discouraged the idea.
“At least, mother, you must wait to welcome Katie,” said this astute and
long-headed adviser of the family—and the Mistress, with her strong sense
of country breeding and decorum, would not have done less, had it broken
her heart. But she rather longed for the interval to be over, and the matter
concluded. The Mistress, somehow, could not understand or recognize
herself adrift from Norlaw.
“But I dinna doubt it would be best—it’s natural,” said the Mistress
—“they should have their good beginning to themselves,” and with that she
sighed, and grew red with shame to think it was a sigh, and spoke sharply to
Marget, and put the old easy chair which had been “their father’s!” away
into a corner, with a little momentary ebullition of half resentful tears. But
she never lost her temper to Huntley—it was only Nature, and not her son
who was to blame.
It was early in August when Katie came home. The Mistress stood at the
door waiting to receive her, on a night which was worthy such a
homecoming. Just sunset, the field-laborers going home, the purple flush
folded over the Eildons like a regal mantle, the last tender ray catching the
roofless wall of the Strength of Norlaw, and the soft hill rising behind, with
yellow corn waving rich to its summit, soon to be ripe for the harvest. Tears
were in the Mistress’s heart, but smiles in her face; she led her new
daughter in before even Huntley, brought her to the dining-parlor, and set
her in her own chair.
“This is where I sat first myself the day I came home,” said the Mistress,
with a sob, “and sit you there; and God bless my bairns, and build up
Norlaw—amen!”
But Katie said the amen too, and rose again, holding the Mistress fast
and looking up in her face.
“I have not said mother for ten years,” said Katie. “Mother! do you think
dispeace can ever rise between you and me, that you should think once of
going away?”
The Mistress paused.
“No dispeace, Katie—no, God forbid!” said Huntley’s mother, “but I’m
a hasty woman in my speech, and ever was.”
“But not to me,” said the Katie who was no more Katie Logan—“never
to me! and Huntley will be a lonely man if his mother goes from Norlaw,
for where thou goest I will go, and where thou dwellest I will dwell.
Mother, tell me! is it Patie or poor Huntley who is to have you and me?”
The Mistress did not say a word. She suffered herself to be placed in the
chair where she had placed Katie, and then put her apron over her face and
wept, thinking strangely, all at once, not of a new daughter-in-law and a
changed place, but of him who lay sleeping among the solemn ruins at
Dryburgh, and all the sacred chain of years that made dear this house of
Norlaw.
The other marriage took place after that, with much greater glory and
distinction, to the pride of the Mistress’s heart. It was a great festival when
it came—which was not till the season of mourning was over—to all of
whom Madame Roche could reach. Even Joanna Huntley and Aunt Jean
were persuaded to come to gladden the wedding of Desirée and Cosmo; and
it is even said that Joanna, who is of a very scientific turn of mind, and has
a little private laboratory of her own, where she burns her pupils’ fingers,
was the finder of that strange little heap of dust and cinders which revealed
to Huntley the mineral wealth in the corner of the Norlaw lands, which now
has made him rich enough to buy three Norlaws. At any rate, Joanna was
put into perfect good humor by her visit, and thenceforward, with the
chivalry of a knight-errant, worshiped above all loveliness the beautiful old
face of Madame Roche.
This is about all there is to tell of the Livingstone family. They had their
troubles, and are having them, like all of us; but, like all of us, have great
joy-cordials now and then to make them strong; and always Providence to
work a clear web out of the tangled exertions which we make without
witting, and which God sorts into His appointed lot.
THE END.

☛ Every Number of Harper’s Magazine contains from 20 to 50 pages—and

from one third to one half more reading—than any other in the country.

HARPER’S MAGAZINE.
The Publishers believe that the Seventeen Volumes of Harper’s
Magazine now issued contain a larger amount of valuable and attractive
reading than will be found in any other periodical of the day. The best Serial
Tales of the foremost Novelists of the time: Levers’ “Maurice Tiernay,”
Bulwer Lytton’s “My Novel,” Dickens’s “Bleak House” and “Little
Dorrit,” Thackeray’s “Newcomes” and “Virginians,” have successively
appeared in the Magazine simultaneously with their publication in England.
The best Tales and Sketches from the Foreign Magazines have been
carefully selected, and original contributions have been furnished by
Charles Reade, Wilkie Collins, Mrs. Gaskell, Miss Muloch, and other
prominent English writers.
The larger portion of the Magazine has, however, been devoted to
articles upon American topics, furnished by American writers.
Contributions have been welcomed from every section of the country; and
in deciding upon their acceptance the Editors have aimed to be governed
solely by the intrinsic merits of the articles, irrespective of their authorship.
Care has been taken that the Magazine should never become the organ of
any local clique in literature, or of any sectional party in politics.
At no period since the commencement of the Magazine have its literary
and artistic resources been more ample and varied; and the Publishers refer
to the contents of the Periodical for the past as the best guarantee for its
future claims upon the patronage of the American public.
TERMS.—One Copy for One Year, $3 00; Two Copies for One Year, $5
00; Three or more Copies for One Year (each), $2 00; “Harper’s Magazine”

HARPER’S WEEKLY.
A JOURNAL OF CIVILIZATION.
A First-class Illustrated Family Newspaper.
 PRICE FIVE CENTS.
Harper’s Weekly has now been in existence two years. During that
period no effort has been spared to make it the best possible Family Paper
for the American People, and it is the belief of the Proprietors that, in the
peculiar field which it occupies, no existing Periodical can compare with it.
Every Number of Harper’s Weekly contains all the News of the week,
Domestic and Foreign. The completeness of this department is, it is
believed, unrivaled in any other weekly publication. Every noteworthy
event is profusely and accurately illustrated at the time of its occurrence.
And while no expense is spared to procure Original Illustrations, care is
taken to lay before the reader every foreign picture which appears to
possess general interest. In a word, the Subscriber to Harper’s Weekly
may rely upon obtaining a Pictorial History of the times in which we live,
compiled and illustrated in the most perfect and complete manner possible.
It is believed that the Illustrated Biographies alone—of which about one
hundred and fifty have already been published—are worth far more to the
reader than the whole cost of his subscription.
The literary matter of Harper’s Weekly is supplied by some of the
ablest writers in the English language. Every Number contains an
installment of a serial story by a first-class author—Bulwer’s “What will
he do with It?” has appeared entire in its columns; one or more short
Stories, the best that can be purchased at home or abroad; the best Poetry of
the day; instructive Essays on topics of general interest; Comments on the
Events of the time, in the shape of Editorials and the Lounger’s philosophic
and amusing Gossip; searching but generous Literary Criticisms; a Chess
Chronicle; and full and careful reports of the Money, Merchandise, and
Produce Markets.
In fixing at so low a price as Five Cents the price of their paper, the
Publishers were aware that nothing but an enormous sale could remunerate
them. They are happy to say that the receipts have already realized their
anticipations, and justify still further efforts to make Harper’s Weekly an
indispensable guest in every home throughout the country.
TERMS.—One Copy for Twenty Weeks, $1 00; One Copy for One Year,

five Subscribers.

LA PLATA:
THE ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION,
AND
PARAGUAY.
Being a Narrative of the Exploration of the Tributaries of the River La Plata
and Adjacent Countries, during the Years 1853, ’54, ’55, and ’56, under
the orders, of the United States Government.

By THOMAS J. PAGE, U.S.N.,

Commander of the Expedition.
One Volume Large Octavo, with Map and numerous Illustrations. Muslin,
Three Dollars.
This Volume contains the Official Narrative of one of the most important
expeditions ever sent out by our Government. Early in 1853 the steamer
Water Witch was placed under the command of Lieutenant Page, with
instructions to explore the Rivers of La Plata, and report upon their
navigability and adaptation to commerce. Lieutenant Page executed his
commission with rare fidelity and intelligence, and has embodied the results
in this volume. The explorations described in the Narrative embrace an
extent of 3600 miles of river navigation, and 4400 miles of journey by land
in Paraguay and the Argentine Confederation. The River Paraguay alone
was found to be navigable, at low water, by a steamer drawing nine feet, for
more than two thousand miles from the ocean. The basin of La Plata is
almost equal in extent to that of the Mississippi, and not inferior in salubrity
of climate and fertility of soil, while the head waters of its rivers penetrate
the richest mineral provinces of Brazil and Bolivia. The products of this
region must find their outlet through the River La Plata. The population
numbers scarcely one person to a square mile, but great inducements to
emigration are now offered by the Argentine Confederation. The commerce
of the country, already considerable, is capable of immediate and almost
indefinite increase.
Lieutenant Page’s Narrative contains ample information respecting the
soil, climate, and productions of the country, and the manners, habits, and
customs of the people. A full account is given of the unfortunate rupture
with Paraguay, showing conclusively that the attack upon the Water Witch
was altogether unwarranted, and the allegations by which President Lopez
attempted to justify it entirely destitute of truth. An interesting and valuable
account of the Jesuit Missions in La Plata is appended to the Narrative.
The Illustrations comprise the accurate Map of the Country prepared by
the orders of our Government, Portraits of Urquiza, Lopez, Francis, and
Loyola, and numerous Engravings of Scenery, Character, and Incident.

“The most magnificent contribution of the present century to the cause of

geographical knowledge.”
DR. BARTH’S
NORTH AND CENTRAL AFRICA.
Travels and Discoveries in North and Central Africa. Being a Journal of an
Expedition undertaken under the Auspices of H.B.M’s Government in the
Years 1849-1855. By Henry Barth, Ph.D., D.C.L., Fellow of the Royal
Geographical and Asiatic Societies, &c., &c. Profusely and elegantly
illustrated. Complete in 3 vols. 8vo, Muslin, $2 50 a Volume; Half Calf,
$10 50 a set.
Dr. Barth’s wonderful travels approach the Equator from the North as
nearly as Dr. Livingstone’s from the South, and thus show to future
travelers the field which still remains open for exploration and research.—
Vol. III., completing the work, is in the press, and will be published shortly.
 The researches of Dr. Barth are of the highest interest. Few men have
existed so qualified, both by intellectual ability and a vigorous bodily
constitution, for the perilous part of an African discoverer as Dr. Barth.—
London Times, Sept. 8, 1857.
It richly merits all the commendation bestowed upon it by “the leading
journals of Europe."—Corr. National Intelligencer.
Every chapter presents matter of more original interest than an ordinary
volume of travels.—London Leader.
For extent and variety of subjects, the volumes before us greatly surpass
every other work on African travel with which it has been our fortune to
meet.—London Athenæum.
Dr. Barth is the model of an explorer—patient, persevering, and resolute.
—London Spectator.
No one who wishes to know Africa can afford to dispense with this
work.—Boston Traveler.
A most wonderful record.—Poughkeepsie Democrat.
It is the most magnificent contribution of the present century to the cause
of geographical knowledge.—N. Y. Evangelist.
The most important contribution to Geographical Science that has been
made in our time. Thousands of readers in our country will be anxious to
get possession of this treasure of knowledge.—N. Y. Observer.
One of the most important works of the kind which has appeared for an
age.—Lutheran Observer.
It can not fail to find its way into the libraries of most scholars.—
Lynchburg Virginian.
The personal details give the work great interest.—Philadelphia Press.
Dr. Barth’s work is a magnificent contribution to geographical and
ethnographical science.—N. Y. Independent.
Your curiosity is awakened, step by step, as with diminished resources
he works his way through fanatical and rapacious tribes, ready in resources
and never desponding, and buoyed up by the unconquerable desire to
surpass his predecessors in the thoroughness and in the range of his
discoveries.—Albion.
Among the most wonderful achievements of modern times.—Western
Christian Advocate.
 A most valuable contribution to the standard literature of the world.—
Troy Times.

THE
LAND AND THE BOOK;
OR,
BIBLICAL ILLUSTRATIONS DRAWN FROM THE MANNERS AND
CUSTOMS, THE SCENES AND SCENERY OF THE HOLY LAND.
By W. M. THOMSON, D.D.,
Twenty-five Years a Missionary of the A.B.C.F.M. in Syria and Palestine.
With two elaborate Maps of Palestine, an accurate Plan of Jerusalem, and
several hundred Engravings representing the Scenery, Topography, and
Productions of the Holy Land, and the Costumes, Manners, and Habits of
the People. Two elegant Large 12mo Volumes, Muslin, $3 50; Half Calf,
$5 20.
The Land of the Bible is part of the Divine Revelation. It bears testimony
essential to faith, and gives lessons invaluable in exposition. Both have
been written all over the fair face of Palestine, and deeply graven there by
the finger of God in characters of living light. To collect this testimony and
popularize these lessons for the biblical student of every age and class is the
prominent design of this work. For twenty-five years the Author has been
permitted to read the Book by the light which the Land sheds upon it; and
he now hands over this friendly torch to those who have not been thus
favored. In this attempt the pencil has been employed to aid the pen. A large
number of pictorial illustrations are introduced, many of them original, and
all giving a genuine and true representation of things in the actual Holy
Land of the present day. They are not fancy sketches of imaginary scenes
thrown in to embellish the page, but pictures of living manners, studies of
sacred topography, or exponents of interesting biblical allusions, which will
add greatly to the value of the work.

be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
