Sungling workmansliip , however , is untruth , although not meiidacity ; and that the workmanship is bungling ^ as regards the jJrefeenitation of religion ( not to mention other tppice )^ we . assert on the evidence of the effect produced on our minds as we read . In the early chapteirs we wero moved to something like indignation by the obtrusive and immodest display of roligious phrase ^ , reminding us of the cant with which riefligioiis novels ar ' e saturated .

" The novelist who , in profestrihgto depict human lifo , dispenses altogether with Christian agency ,, ia leaving- , Hamlet out of ith « pl ^ y with a vengeance ; but the opposite fault of . violating : the' modesty of reh ' giousi feeling ; by' aiv : 'D ' ii 6 ea £ ohable foisting of it in the faces of those whcutlanofc comprehend it , is even \ v 6 rs © than a merely negative neglect . .. It . iq the , greatest . immodesty that can bo perpetrated . All modesty , if analyzed , proves to be nothing more than the reluctance of a pure heart to having its feelings bared to the gaze of an imperfect ayrtipatliy ; and the higher and deeper the feeling ; the greater the indecency iind ruinous wrong of exposing . it , " . ,. ... ! .

- . r . ; : -, '; TPf . f ; vi fc'B " . * wl . s » - " ^ n 'apologue . P ^ WO old Owls live d in domestic quiet , in the oriel window of an ijJ ^ M ^ f : - ancient ruin . They had lived tliere for years , staring at the world 3 ^ H ^ with large round wondering eyes , but mingling no more with it f ^ jSyj Sl : than was necessary ; , thei r experience of it had made them her-( yc / cto ^ mits . If , ¦'• as would occasionally happen ; they ventured into the sunlight , they were blinded and bewilderedl > y the glare , buffeted and insulted by the smaller birds , who made game of thein . And so they secluded themselves in their mossy solitude , and lived there in plump , cosy , downy contentment . A . few worms and mice sufficed for food ; and for affection , each sufficed to each .. ¦
One night a Hawk , an old acquaintance of their childhood , flew into their nest . The meeting was cordial with the reminiscences of youth . They talked of old times till the dawn was grey , and the twitter of the smaller birds rose sharjj into the , morning , air . They marvelled , indeed , to see how young the xTawi : looked , witli . liis bright restless eye , his slim legs , and barred , plumage , like thp ^ e of a gay young bachelor ., He told th ^ ni it \ vas because h ^ had Hied . Arid then he dazzled the old Owl with sparkling narratives of the outer world , and raised strange longings in . his breast to see soriiething of the varied forms of life so eloquently described .
"Whenever T have ventured out by daylight , " said the Owl , " the other birds have mocked me '; so , thinking I was out of my proper sphere , I returned , to my home . " , , , " THafc'is because yrpu liave not boldly taken your position , " replied the Hawk . " In the world you must take what you want—no one gives . When I make my appearance you should see how the birds rush to the Nearest wobd aria ihielcet , giving vent to their scandalized terror in various ctfes ! " ¦•"¦ : " . / '' ¦ . ¦ . " ¦ . ;¦ ¦ . ¦ . ' ' ; - ¦ ' . ' ' . . '
"' D 6 they never fly after you ? " , , " Sbmetimes ; but that is only when I have got one of them in my talons , © priiing here this afternoon I carried off the wife pf a , most respectable partridge , " said the Hawk , with a libertine shake of the head . " I wanted lieiy arid so I topk her .. Thewliole covey fx ) ll , pwed me , making an uproar hke a village of outraged women ; they thought I wanted her for my seraglio ^ ' Wot I—I ate her . " As the Hawk said this the old Owl looked at him with envy and respect ; but his wife " shuddered / ' and thought the Hawk would bo a bad companion for her lord . She was glad when he ( lew away , and devoutly wished
he would never fulfil his promise , of u loolcirig in upon them" some fine day . -... if ' : ' -- . ¦ . The words of tlio tempter dwelt in the old Owl's iryind . ITe was moody , taciturn , abstracted , visions of the gay life led by Hawks tormented him . The ruin whero he had spent so many happy years seemed riow a monotonous prison ; mice and worms ' seemed now a monotonous regiirteii ; his old wife " twaddled , " he thought ; and he -himqelf felfc old , as lie thought ' how ; , much younger soenied his friend . Tho Hawk bad been . ; to Court , . and , indeed , was related , to tho Emperor Eagle . Why should not he , alsPj , nialce a / igiirc at tho Eagle ' s Court P Why h 1 iou )< 1 ho remain the terror of mice , when he ¦ -might ' make the dovecots flutter ? . ¦¦ . ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ : ! ' ¦ " ' ¦ ¦
