The time had been when ke could have appreciated all the beau ties of such a night, but it was long since. The durs when the" beautiful and true touched him, and when he had anvthiug in common with poetry aud flowers and moonlight, were like the nhantom of a dream only distioct enough to plague him. He had sought hanniness. but he had taken the wrong nnth. He had looked for the breath of the rose and pmity of the violet where be lie obeyed her, but made one stipu lation. Somehow he pitied her, for there was a look in ber lace that asked from him what none had ever asked be fore sympathy. "We have been friends, ha said. I may be better than I know. If I am it is your work. Should you Deed me send for me." Let it be a antnpact," she replied gently; a compact, she repotted in a whisper, made when the angels draw nigh. Then, fearing she had shown ton much of her heart, she became, her calm telf again. Yes, she feared that she had shown too much of her heart. How many fears to show the sweetest flowers of their uature lest they be chilled 1 II iw many of these sweet flowers are blighted to tin death by the frosts of human nature? If we could only tell where to show them and who to sh w them to if we only knew who craved their per fume what a garden we might niuke of the world ! Sometimes a single sentence becomes branded in the life of a man as if with letters of living fire. Thus it was with him; and the sentence was: '-When the angels draw nigh.' Ho tried to lauah it from his memory, aud strove to ii nun op his old bitterness to exercise it from his heart, only to prove that he was be'ter than he knew," ani that it was the prophecy of his fate. II J said she was nothing to him, and he be. lieved it; but where cynicism one held swav there was a pitiable yearning. At limes he heard of ber ss a beauty and a belle, and as ' courted and admired ; heard her praised for her grace and dig uity, and tried to reason that she was b.ppv, but the face of the moonlight and the evening ot parting would ever come back and deny it. And at last he knew what it all meant. Out of his own heart.ache came the revelation that her heart was hopeless, and again ha said. "I may be better tbau I know," and resolved to test it. He sought her whero tbey had first met and there was another season of two lives drifting together. The one, without knowing it, was unfolding ber heart : the other was readme it as he would a beautiful poem. Unconsciously she was planting flowers where before all had been weeds : unconsciously he was preparing to twine them into wreath with which to crown her. In the woman's heart was being laid the foundation of an altar of happiness; in the man's the offerings that were to feed its sucred fires were gathering.
