"I will never marry, never," said
William Blake to his father, a patient,
weary-lookiug old man, with thin gray
hair streaking across his bowed head.
He answered, reflectively "Well, I think
you're right;, there are men that can
manage women, but your mother baa been
too much for me."
"It eeems half selfish in me to go off
si leave you alone with her ; bat what i
can I do, with work that wants planning,
and that continued scolding in one s
ears 1"
"it's tne erying nts mat master me,
though," said Mr. Blake, "when she sits
sniff-sniffing into her apron ; looking at
me that reproached ful, till I m half brought
to believe that I have committed murder,
or something in my sleep.
"I sometimes think, do yon know,
father, that in those times it is that she is
aorry for her temper ; is, in fact, repent
iog."
"Its an awfully unpleasant, unfair
kind of penitence, then ; but I don't know ;
she's been buzzing in my ears so long,
that I get fairly bothered sometimes, and
don't feel clear about anything.
"I'll tell you what you must do when
she gets past bearing ; just come off to
me ; it wou't be far, you know."
So I will, my boy ; so I will."
Accordingly the next morning, when
scolding, for he could not be sure that he
really wanted to forget this.
"I am glad I have never teen her, be
said, with a long breath that did not sound
like content. Then be tried to say
"Willie, in her tones, and,
imoatient distrust marked his conscious
ness of failure, he put on his cap and went PnnS
out.
The haunting voice became a presence,
all too soon. As Will came home she
met him in the passage ; a little, swift
gliding figure, with soft dark eyes set in a
fair face. "Not a bit like mother," he
thought, with a curious feeling of satis
faction : but as he passed, he saw that
her eyes Were humid with fear and grief.
"What is the matter " he asked invol
untarily. "Willie ! cholera ! the doctor !" the an
swered, rushing by, into the street that
was wet with a stormy ratn.
"Stay! lean go faster," cried Will
It a , , a
following her. "lou go back to your

quick docility of a gentle intelligence ; and
he thought again, "Mother would have
talked for an hour."

Mrs. Blake began the day with prophetic
w w a.
indications of being what she called "up
set," her husband prepared to escape,
greatly to her displeasure She had re
sented Will's removal and "setting np for
himself ;" but then, as Mr. Blake remark
ed, "she couldn't be any crosser than she
was before," so he departed in compara
tive comfort.
Will's room was a poor little place.
He was not earning much as yet, and he
said, "anything does for oneaelf,', with a
desolate air that somewhat contradicted
his philosophy of loneliness ; still, his
work improved wonderfully, and in that
way he was always happy. Will was a
designer f moldings.
Mr. Blake found him busily stitching
on an old coat.
"Turned tailor, Will ?" he asked.
" 'Tisu't work enough for a tailor, and
I am fraid my bungling would not pass
for one, either. I tried glue, but some-,
how it wouldn't answer, and one must
keep one's self decent looking. I am go
ing afteF orders by and by."
"Women is of some use a'rter all, if
they wasn't such unreasonable creatures,"
said the father, with an involuntary glance
at the table, which looked rather like the
enough. Willie was very ill.
Bravely the little fellow struggled, but
the foe was too strong for him.
"Strange," the doctor muttered impa
tiently ; "the last cases are to often the
worst. I thought it was over for this
year."
A week before another lodger in the
same house, a gluttonous man, had made
himself ill feasting on mu sales and plums

and Deer ; ne recovered ; but tne poison
thus brought into the bouse fastened on
the weakest there. The child died. There
was nothing more to be done for him
All at once, for the first time in his little
life, Willie wanted nothing; not even
his sister. She went about her necessary
work with an oppressive, bewildered sense
of leisure upon her. And Will if the
joyous voice alone had distracted him so,
bow conld he work now? now that it
recalled the meek, desolate face of the
mourner ; now that the cry had changed
into such a pitiful, beseeching "Willie !
Willie !"
1 he day after Willie was burned it
happened that Will paid his rent, and
took that opportunity to inquire after hit
fellow lodger.
"Poor young thing," said the mother
landlady, "it makes my heart ache to see
her, up there in the little room, where
they were so happy, those two. She savs
the very walls seem written with his
name, aud the things he used to touch cry
"Alice, Alice," just as he called for her,
at the last ; it is enough to craze her ;
there isn't au empty room in the house, or
she should have it for a bit."

By aud by. there was a wedditg : the

At they came home from church, he
said brightly, "We have both resigued

Peaceful and brightly the yean went

Every word that falls from tbe lips of
mothers and sisters especially should be
pure and concise and simple, not pearls
such as fall from the lips of a princess,
but sweet, good words, that little children
can gather without fears of toil, or after
shame or blame, or any regrets to pain
through all their life.
Children should be taught the frequent
use of good, strong, expressive words
words that mean exactly what they should

with a little of everything.
Will was accustomed to have his tools
around him in his work, and so he grad
ually gathered tbe household implements
to gather in the same fashion.
"We will have breakfast pleasantly."
he said, "it would have been ready before,
only while I was gone for a loaf the ket

"It won't do that time," said Mr. Blake,
lifting tbe titled vessel from the fire.
"Why 1"
"See !"
Then they both laughed ; Will bad for

father and son were chatting pleasan
tly over the end ot their meal, when a
bright voice was heard on the landing
outside, calling, Willie, Willie."
"Made friends, already 1" asked Mr.
Blake, looking up surprised.
"No, it is somebody who lodges over
bead ; her little brother has run off down
stairt. He teems to give her a great deal
of trouble, but she never speaks any
sharper than that.
"Doesn't she, now t It is a wonder
fully pleesant souhding voice."
By and by it seemed that the culprit
was hunted up the stairs home again ; a
merry hunt, with much laughing on both
sides, and, as they passed Will's door, a
quieter "Willie, Willie 1"
Mr. Blake looked strangely reflective.
"I haven't heard anybody say 'Willie' in
"Ask her to change
Will eagerly ; "tell her I should
glad, if she would not mind, the
there would suit me better.
Alice consented doubtfully. "It seems
like deserting Willie," she said ; "and
yet no one has a right to let one get ill ;
tell Mr. Blake I accept his offer gratefully."
She had grown a little stately in her
s . a a www a a
solitary grtet, and VY ill stammered over
his premeditated speech. "My name is
Willie, too ; could nt you take me for your
brother ?"
'Ob, no,' she auswered with direct sim
plicity, "he was so naught v, the darling ;
I never could have him out of my thoughts
for a moment.'
Alice herself, had this kind of naughti
ness for Will, and now, living in her room,
he seemed to be encompassed by her
presence ; his tools and work felt rongh
and coarse amidst the little dainty ar
rangements that marked a womanly hand.
'If it hadu't been for knowing mother,'
he mused, one evening, "I might fall in
love, I do believe ; as it is, I know bei
ber.' So "knowing better,' he shrank ftom
an intercourse that might, in some sharp
answer, bring Alice down from her pedes
tal, on which he still chose to place her,
justifying his bright dreams to himself by
saying, 'it is pleasant to 'make believe,'
as the children say.'
Alice, meanwhile, had found a cheering
employment in putting: Will's room
straight, at she called it. 'Such a pity
poor man, for bim to live in such a mud
die, and him so clever too.'
She found some torn drawings in the
littered fireplace, and carefully smoothed
tbem ont as treasures overlooked.
Will, coming for a book, found her thus
busy, aud said smiling
'They are of no use, I don't want
them.'
'They seem wonderful to me, she said
looking up frankly.
