DickSherrtid waß only twanlv-Bix. frank, open hearted, funny fallow, liked wherever he went; bafjiogtr Soarlc was thirty three, a man of splendid intellect* tialpowcr, but proud, amA cynical. And very handsome iu a dark way, Decpwater Farm was air the boaidcrs could- dcßilc. The pure, frejli air, blow® iug across rich fields oi golden grain* and the silvery sheet of water iu iront, brought the color back to pallid cheeks and brightened dim eyes. There* were plenty of fruits, fresh milk) and vogcta*. hies, and on the whole, it was a most de sirable place) particularly for those, whose pocket-books would not aflow them to go to watering places. Roger Searlo was nover enthusiastic about anything, bat he voted Deop-ratcr a most pleasant place. There was one other boarder at Dccp watev boAides the city idlers, and tfcat was iiazol Lawrence, teacher ot the country school. She was not pretty. In deed) she wonld have been particularly plain, but for the look that all fades Wear when a noble mind lies behihil theni. She had a quiet* colorless ftlCtS, a wide, lull brow, and ordinary looking, brown eyes, and hair. She came and went, but except Florence Snow and one or two others, she never ipade any friends among the boarders, They were 'lilies of the field, that toiled not, neither did they spin,' and I am sure that 'Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like them,' wliile she was an linuible little bbssoin that grew under the brown leaves near th^earth) at least in a wordly point of vioWi At Hi's! Mr. Searle lievGr gave Hazel a passing glance beyond what courtesy de manded. It was a simple 'good morn*- ing,' or 'good evening Miss Lawrence' until oue.aftcmoQii he sat at his window and saw her bathe the face of a poor, blind beggur, who lay on the grass ex- i hausted by the extreme beat. Even then the doubling devil whispered that it , might have been done for effect. '1 lien ho fell into the habit ofstudyiugthe gill's face, Which would sometimes brighten almost into beauty. Some pleasant gleam ' of happiness, would flush the pale face and make the eyes gleam like stars; then 1 the bloom and brightness would die out, leaving her cold and pale* and with such I a weary droop about the month, and strch a sad light in the eyes that Roger would feel a passionate longing to take her in his arms and Shield her from all paiu. It was the want of love that made Hnuel Law rence's face look se white and woeful at times. There was no dear 1 homo faces to smile a welcome when she cuaic front wcrk and her dearest friends I were her books.

After ali the strongest minded, most j self reliant ptiopto must have some hu« man sutef«M, or the!:- lives Would be like ttc earth without sunshine* . 1 'One afternoon, Mr. Searle Was going 1 to llie village, two miles and a half dis ta.it. A half dozen girls came out on 1 the verandah. . 'Do call at the office foi me, Mr. 1 Searle,' they all ciied in chorus. 'Nothing Wonld give me greater pleas- _ lire, ladies,' with a bow. Miss Lawrence sat on the steps, read*. n GBAH.SM, N. 0-, ing, Seeks of sttnlight on her hair aud resa. ,7 - -7 7 t -m Mr. BcarlC stopped nnd lqpkifid nt her. 'Shall I call for you, too?* his Voi'tie was low, nnd & tlniil of tenderness 'ran through it. 'Yes, if yon will bo so kind/ a faintv smile fliltini; across her lips. There was one !ettfcr for lintel trdtn Ntew Yorkjtnd directed in a man's hand. As lie rode homo through the dttsk, Mr. Searle wondei-cd who could bb writinu to her. 'A lover 110 dunbl,' ho muttered, and felt savagely jealous at thebaic thoilght. standing under Ihe trees on the lawn Wlibit Mr. Searlo returned and ho went directly to Her. 'Here is your letter, Miss-. Lawrence.' A glad light flushed into the girl's eye#) and the hand extended for the let ter trembled. 'Thank you, Mr. Searle. Yon don't knofr Miat pleasure you bring uie.' 'I think I doj you nhow your joy so plainly,' he said bitterly, and then as she drew back blushing crimson; hnjpnss ed on, consigning the writer of the letter to the lower wcions. That Searle sat in his roonTlwStfow, smoking and thiukiug. Was he in love with llaettd Lawrence? he asked himself. If I thought she was true, he said, but pshaw! she itrlike all others whnii weighed, will be found wan tiug. Some one knocked at the and Dickj ent«red with a beaming face. ' 'Congratulate me, Roger,' he cried,she has accepted m«.' I do congratulate you, Dick» with all my heart. May yon always be as happy cLs you aro now, and thinking of the doubts that clouded his own mind ha , envied the young mau his perfect trust in his betrothal, Fot Sometipie they talkedj and at last Dick said: Do you know tliere is an authoress boardingtaru? . -«• c—i 'No Who is it? 1 'Miss.

Well I wish her success, wih provok ing indiferense. But in his heart be felt relieved about the letter; •If I oottld only try,' her he thought after Diok left. 'Perhaps I may,' a sud den idea striking him. A week after, Society was shocked to hear that Mr. Searlo was ruined. A bank was brokeu and his splendid for tune was gone. 'Roger, dear fellow, I wish I could help yoiij' cried Dick with almost tears in his eyet. * 'Never mind, Dick, I can bear it,' and he did seem to bear it remarkably well. That everting as ftaZell leaned over the gate, looking idly out on the lake. Mr, Searle came up on his way from the village/ He looked tired, and his proud head was bowed. Hazel moved aside, and as he passed through, said. 'I am veiy sorry for you, Mr. Searle for poverty is hard. He looked at her keenly, thinking thai he would liere find the blot on the fair page of her life. 'Hate you found it hard. Miss Law rence?' 'Yea,' she said sometimes I find it v?ry hard. 'And you aie sorry for me?' "Yeej because I know «>hat poor pieopte have to endure.'

"I've promised to tfcll it to jou, nnd, as this Is my day oil. woTl step around the corner and tAlk over a glass ot beer. It's a story I ddn't tt*ro to tel! every body lor it happoned years ago, when I waeyoungj passionato, and I inay say very foolish, too. When 1 look back and think what happened then, 1 don't know whether to langli or tool sad, and although I generally begin by laiighina: at wyaclfi I almost ahVays wind np by sniveling to myself at the finish. I was a raw lad, fresh irqm the country, and just been appointed 011 the forco. I won't toll you what precinct I was in wh«r. X happened, but at that time the fashionable part ot the city wasj compai'iUively speaking, down town, and the street I hud for a regular post was nearhniul' to whiiro a n'dight depot is now. It was all privuto houses then. There were many boarding houses of the better cless in iti and I soon kuew their inmates by appearanec. 80 that iu the morning, when on post, I oitild say to Myself) 'Thcro goes that young clerk out et No. 32 s and he meets that young lady from No. 21 around the corn er and takes her under his umbrella, if its raining.' There wasn't a bit of flirtation dl' Courtship going in the street which I was not perfectly familiar and ho youug folks knew it, too, for tlio would smilo and say 'Good morning officer,' as they passed by, and tho young fellows gave mo an occasional cigar as they came home from Work. "Now, I was on post one niornlrtg, When the servant girl ot No. 41 came rushing ou| end says: Now's vonr time lb do me a favor. I've lost Thorpe's ennavy bird, and the poor girl is crying her eyes out.' Hooked up and thore was the canary perched 011 the edge of fho roof. The hall-door opened, and a young girl about eighteen years camo out 011 the sloop. Sho was not what you would call handsome I swppose, but I neVer saw saw snch a beautiful woman or stich wonderful oj-es of bluish jfr ty. •Oh, Mary,'said she, dldybU get my bird 'He's upon tho roof, Mift Annie,' said Mnrv, 'and the officer will catch him for you,' She smiled, saying. 'lf you wonld bo so kind, sir,' and just then 1 would have chased that bird all over New York until I caught him for her You would have laughed to see me with the empty cagfl in one hand, and a hard . boiled egg in tho other, dhirrupiug for that bird to come back into captivity. I was iu luck, and 110 did. She thanked mo very kindly, and wanted to know in what way she could recompense me for my trouble. I answered I didn't know ot a»y beyond her thanks, and went out, leaving her laughing over lier pet. The next day she camo along, and stopping me on tho street, said; 'Will you wear these mittens as a lltlloprctfnt fropi me?' and bandfed me a pair of ejcHtnt mittens with tho initials of my natnfe' worked on them in »ilk. I guess she got the initials from the servant girl. •It got (0 be so at last thatl looked for her coming and going every day, and 1 walked throngh the street with her. Uod bless me, she soon knew as much about my old mbtberj and tholittlofarminYer mout, where I was born/ as 1 did myself; and sho told mo of her own folks, poor peoplefWho had enough to dolive to them selves/doirn in Pennsylvania. Site was saving np her little earnings to send to jhem, and one eveuitg told me joyfully . (hat she had $lO put by, and was ever so * rich. I told her that I was saving cent I could, all owing "to her example. 1 She looked op at mo surprised, but not j displeased, and 1 felt her arm press closer over nfine. I was very hapy then. 'One evening I met her coining home 1 leaning 011 a man's arm. I didn't like his j looks, aud I never forget his face. She ( blushed a little as she pas'sed by. but I said 'Good evening.' When I asked her f who lie was, sho lold me that I was a ' great goose to be jealous, that the gentle- t tnan whs onA ot her employers. It I had knowh then what I know afterwards, I would have acted different. I got a note one morning, and'when I read it, my heart turned cold In mo. It was from her, saying that she had jroxic r.wnv for ever. and asking mo Yo forgot hpr. 1 con Id not do that. Each face 1 saw iu tho street reminded me of her, and at night I searched lor her in the theatres and cvel'j where. I got pale and thin, and the men in the station house wonder ed wlidt Was the matter with inc. 1 could not bear to Walk iu tho old street, and got tranßfcred up town. Thore, 8t last, I rilot her. 'lt. was tw6 years alter, and'oji d bit* ter, rainy night iu January. I camo to •he end of my post, and was standing a conpJe of doors frofa tlje corner of the av enue. when I heard a woman scream. Sho ran round the cjrner in tlie gaslight. It was my own girl, my own Aunie, hut so changed l There was blood oil her face wherb tho scoundrel had struck her. I tried to stop her, but she darted away from me, and passed on into the dark* ness of tho night; Tho next moment I was round the corner and stood faoe to face with him. I would have murdered him that night, the same as ho murdered her. When my sido partner camo runs iiing up, lie was lying on tho with his faco battered iu ami I was stand ing over him, with my c!ub raised up iu my hand'. " What became of her? Well, I'll tell you. The cruel blows that viliian gave dazed her, and she wondered off to find a frendly shelter . When she lived in our 1 quiet street she had a poor colored woman who did her washing and loved her like a child. How she got there I don't khow, but she did atid When old John tho white washer, opened the door of the miserable rooms where he and his wife lived, she IfcU fainting On the flooi. Those good people, God bless them, did all they could for her. That night she raved and wnndei-ed in bet sleep, and bit by bit they gathered her sad story from her lips. Next evening she beame calm and tranquil, aud old John said to his wife *'Liz, do lamb iS better." But when Liz looked in tho }>ale face slife knew that tho mighty Manteru' call had came and told him to run for the minis ter bedrest minister was i man whom I will call Mr. Passover He had it Urfge aud wealthy congregation, and there Was a dinner party at his house that night. He waited nntil. his dinner party was over; and tbfeil took his time about coming. My poor gii-1 was growing weaker, and weaker,and at lasi put out l.er hand in thnt of the old colored woman. She smiled and said, '1 wonder, Aunt Liza, if He wdl forgive me?' Old Aunt Liza held her up in her arms and said: 'Sure, honey. Oh! John deali, I see tho glory fchinin ih her fkce.' There was a step on the stairs—that ot the Rev. Mr' Passover. He had oome too late, for, supported by those trustful loving hands, my poor darling had gone into eternal rest. Uncle John wart on his knees praying, and when minister opened the door he heard old John say: lam de resurrection aud de life, and, as dat sun, now gone down; shall tomorrow rise in the eant, and light, so, a'ter de night ob de gr».ve, de soul ob de just shall rise, an J shine in de new day dat shall hebbel- end.
