— 142 WILLY BUKKE; OR, any trouble comes upon us ; there 's no use in grieving* about what cant't be helped, and besides its sinful ; its like rebelling against God's holy will* Courage, then !" And thus did he endeavour to reason away his sadness, applying himself, at the same time, with renewed atten- tion to fulfil the duties of his state. It is true, his situation had latterly become far from comfortable, owing fa> the persevering malice of his companions, who laid hold of every opportunity of annoying him, and that all the more frequently, as they could not but see that he never made a complaint, although they constantly accused him of tattling. Matters were in this position when, some weeks after Father Fitzherbert's departure, Mr. Saunders one day beckoned Willy into the office where he was alone. Having looked around with all the cool caution of his countrymen, to ascertain that no one was listening, the clerk approached Willy Burke, who could not help wondering at all this preparation. " I have not a moment to lose, Willy, in what I have to say, as Mr. Weimar will be here presently. I have for some time past observed that you are subjected to a constant series of annoyances, which, however trifling they may be in their nature, are calculated to make your position anything but comfortable. Your wages, too, are small. What think you, then, of taking a new situation, higher wages should you be offered one with ?" Willy was taken by surprise, yet he did not hesitate a moment in replying u No, Mr. Saunders ! many thanks to you, sir, for being so thoughtful about me, but it isn't wages would tempt me to leave where I am j and as for the trials that you speak of, sir, I can't blame either Mr. Weimar or Mr. Talbot for any of them—neither of them

Saunders was somewhat surprised ; for he had evi- dently expected to find his proposal even eagerly accepted. " But", said he, " would you not like to get away from amongst these lads ? In the place which I have in view for you, I can assure you, you will have no such annoyance on account of your religion". " Ah, sir", returned Willy, with a smile, " if I hadn't that to bear, I 'd be sure to have something else. Every Christian has to carry his cross ; and when mine is so very light, I 'm sure I needn't complain. If I had nothing to trouble me, sir, I might begin to forget God ; but so long as one has little trials and vexations to bear, they have to be asking grace from above to assist them". " Well ! I know not what to say to you, Willy .!" said Saunders, after a moment's reflection. " I have never seen much of Catholics till I met Mr. Talbot, and I begin to think that the accounts given of you in books are not quite correct. Are these sentiments and principles of yours commonly inculcated by the Eoman Catholic priests ?" " Why, then, Mr. Saunders ! what I 'm after telling you is just what I heard from the altar, and from my confessors, too, ever since I could understand a word. Sure its what every Catholic hears and is taught, from his infancy up ; but, God help us, we don't often put what the priests tell us in practice : if we did, sir, it would be a different world altogether—at least with us Catholics". " I really begin to think so !" was the reply ; for Saunders was, on the whole, a man of enlightened mind, and liberal withal in his opinions. " But, as a last word,
