Mrs. estrone went ud to herhusband. and laid her limid ot his arm, and the pale, faded face shone with something mat was liner than the last beauty ot girlhood, as she said, 'Now, father, there's no use tryin', you know you'll never let that child tuner so long as you've got a roof to cover you or a crust to eat. ' 4 Well, wife, take tour cwn way.

Ii'd Jchn St'ons; had orougni me two nine guts over io me ixind, and while he hauled in with shouts of triumph his prizes of pickerel anil bass, Wealthy had twined a wreath of blossoms, w hich she and Minnie had gathered iu the woods a little way olli and wound ihem iu the child's tresses. The brother and sifter were health)', rohust-ltxtkiiig children, with the round limbs and suii-brownrl luces w hich tell their own stories ol country life ; but Minnie Blake wasone of those children, the very sight of w hich brought a new joy into the eyes of all who love beauty. fhe was sn.ull and ilehcale, with eyes blue and deep as still lakes locked in between deep mounlaiis, and her hair had the golden ripenest of the harvest pears that dropped evrry autumn on the grass in Mr. Suong's back yard. The bloom of two woodland roses were selui her chicks, and sw eet smiles was forever clustering over the dimples hidden about her lips. She bad resided with the Strongs for more than two years, und all this time the little orphan, Minnie Blake, had been like a sweet flower, filling their home w ith fragraite. But it had been a home where went on constantly a sharp, strong battle with poverty a 1 utile that was light ened and sanctified by faith in Cod and sweet aHections and lender cares. But this summer had ojiened more darkly than its predecessors, for Mr. Strongs rheumatic attacks had been longer and more serious than any of the previous oces He had lost several imjtortant jobs ' lor that season in consequence of liis illness : untl his oldest son, who had just cicised hi kflx'ejaMiilv birthday, hud been obliged to leave tne uisirici school and let himself out as a 4 chore boy 'ton penurious old fanner in the vicinity of Wood Ibi d. So troubles thickened over the head of the carpenter's little family, and the face of Strong grew paler, and more palient day by day. 4ou iust irel away from my fath er's imiikI if vou know w bills fiood i ; j w for you. The loud, harsh tones broke sudden ly in upon the children's voices, and lot iking up hastily in the direction of e voice. John saw Squire Morton's the son standing opposite the meadow, through whose dark grass the little .Kind flashed the silver emuroiuery oi us wa ters. Now. although the meadow iu reality iwtHiiri.l t.itlie Siitiire. it was icuardt d as 4 oublic oiopei ty ' by all the neigh bors, and the school-buys assembled here every Saturday lternoon lor pis- entorv achievements, amid boisterous jest and frolic. John Strong was a bold, out spoken boy, and the insolent tones of the Squire's son at once roused all hi bellicerent oualities.

I'd like to know what right you, a poor beggar of a car- jwiter's son, have to epenk tome in j that way ;" and Robert Morton, whose naturally overbearing disposition had been nurtured bv the intlu irencn of the most injudicious parents h lie was; He had a ltui story to nihil terribl years, tauntingly crackinc a small ri ding whip which he carried in his hand. The oncrv blood burned over the face nf I,,l,n ,.l,:i.. .1 .i.,:,..,..i y .... .b, s.,,aD11. i . ... .r lor tear. Lome on,' he cried, assti- old playmate, Jason Minug. ming a belligerent altitude, and iloiih-j And the carpenter, in his turn, had ling his fists, 4 I'm not afraid of you, ja mournful tale to relate ol sii kness, Robert Morton, if you are the Squire's! and ixivcriy, and hopes th lined ; Inn son, and I'd like fust rate to eive vou u f;t :.. C... ".. Jickin' for that insult.' . It was not the rieht action nor the right answer : but the carpenter's son forgot, in that hour of sore temptation, what llianv older and wiser iicaiU limn his have done, that it is neither money nor smtion which makes the true gen tleman, only the heart that is gentle, and noble, and self-sustained; and John Strong certainly descended w hen he re plied to the taunts of the Squire's son aggravating as they were. Kobert Morton had a handsome face, but it was one of those, despite its dark, clearly cut features, which your heart never clung to one which, die more it was studied, the less it was loved ; and now an expression of anirrv nride dar kened and distorted every lineament. as ne sicou sun a moment before John Strong, and then lifting his whip, struck him a quick, sharp blow on his fore head. The next moment, ihe two bovs cioseu man angrv snuggle. John was I - . . . the smaller of the two, but exorcise laid at sea, and it stemed sis thongli eveiy develojied his muscles, and given him! wave that went over us would be the a degree of physical jniwer w hich one ' last we could stand, 1 maile a solemn would hardly have suspected from the promise with my own soui, lliiit if ever first glance. iCod brought me to see the shore again, lie soon succeeded in wresting the whip from the Spuire's son, and aTter a briet struggle, threw him on the "round. and as John's temper laid completely overmastered him, he gave his unlit- gonist a severe beating than lie was himself aware of. I'll make you pay for this, oltl fellow: you'll see,' grow led the boy, as w ith bruised liice and stiff limlis'lie linnM-l -way. 4 U, father my Johnnie sent to jail .' 1 shall never be able to lift my head a- fnd Ihe tears scattered .henLlves over her pale cheeks. It was a dark day under the root ot the little red house of the carpenter, Ja- son Strong. The Squire's son had executed his threat, and so woi ked upon his fathers sympathies and indignation, by the etc-' rv of the wrongs which he had receiv- ed, that he had commenced a suit a- gainst the carieiitcr on account of his son, and the hitter was sent lo jail, be- cause his father could not raise the bun- died dollars, which would have paid the boy's bi -ti Js.

And iust at that moment, the trout J . . te ol the red house was opened, and a man strode into the yard, and up to the front door a man small aud some- w hat thin, but having that rambling gait and sailor's dress which at once indicated his nautical occupation.
