One evening 1 went into our little

use since the advent of our visitors.
The girls were silting apart, as
though resolved to be, unsociable in
thc twilight hour that Was fast closing
around us. Kate was busy with
bright worsteds, fashioning one of the
pretty nothings such as ladies delight
to kill time with.
She greeted me with, "I'm glad
you've come," arid, with a glance at
Uella, "'Tis so horrid dull here, 3'on
know."
I made no answer, but looked to
tho end window, where Bella was
leaning her head partly out. I could
see her thoughts did not take us in,
or any of her present surroundings.
Kale exclaimed thav she had "made
a mistake, and worked in tho wrong
color for ever so far." Bella said, as
though brought back to tbo present
time by the words: You are not
the first one who has done that."
I turned to ber : "I have known
lives to bo eutiroly changed by a
false color; were yon thinking of
that?" V
She replied indifferently : "No,

Kale was a regular hoyden, polite,

She upset every thing which she came

that sho "she must not run them, be

Whatever blandishments she used

Wo should not have been half as

She asserted that she had wonderful
"healing powers' and that sue be
lieved she "was sent to restoro aunt
to health, and that she had wrought
miracles ail her friends knew," and
she called upon Bella to corroborate
her testimony

showed her the joy, iovo, doubt aud
despair which bad lei t me tho sileut,
gray haired old maid of thirty five,
that was foolish enough to review all
this to a chit like her.
Tho short curls under my bands
were wet with tears which bad some
what welled up with my .recital, but
'twas Bella's arms which were around
my neck, and her lips touched my
forehead in mute sympathy.
I felt strongiy comforted by their
love and caresses, but begged them
not to worry about me, for tbero was
a long distance bet'wjeil those early
dreams and the prosaic uow; only I
prayed that theyr might uovor let
pride or distrust come between them
and the one tl ey might some time
Iovo as I had 01 ce loed.
I assured them my1 life had not been
altogether bare; none need be, 1 held,
unless they so willed it themselves.
"But, Jennie," ana tho little bead
nestled close to my neck, "yon said
once loved;' don't you love him now?
Wouldn't you ink bini to forgive the
past it you cou;d set him again ?"
Her words 8 artled me. "Child," I
answered, "yon know not what you
say. Ho has forgotten me, and an
other woman holds the place I was
not worthy to lilh It would bo a sin
for mo to love him now."

pered, "just a little, you know you
do." .

liked he sound of some half-forgotten
melody. j
I !otd:ed down upon myself; the

Sabbath wiiuid have dotie as well.
"Jennie," H.iid uncle, 'you, look as
you did when you first came to us,
only the pain has gone out! of your
face. I be!ive it has done yoa good
tying hero with us." :
Kate came up with a boo and skip;
she looked at lU'J keenly. "Oi what
?irc jou thinkicg, Jetiui.-, dear? DLow

you hud oaiy win'n ..bithat day 'in

"1 have tried to, Kntc, but h'ow can

she wanted, while I on I I loved him
so much." 1 !
Kate bad drawfu mo out into the
starry night. "Look out, dear, ; or
you'll bo aiuning again. " Bella came
up upou ibe walk aud together we
sauntered down to tue gate.
Had I done well to speak of these
things to the girls ? j
Wouldn't they misuuderstand me,
after all ? Had I done more harm
than good, and shouldn't I have all
the old battles to tight over again with
myself and my ideas of right?
"I woiidtr," said Kate, "if the best
thiugs iu my life are the best iu other
people' t lives ?"
"Of course, it should be doing one's
duly, everybody understands that,
after which we may be eclectic, I sup
pose. -I was going to ask Jennie
but here comes some oue np the hill j
do yoa thiqk we are to have a caller ?
Has the fame of our -wondeiful pow
ers gone forth to the world of Ches
terham? Didn't I telFyoo, Bella,
everything wore au expectant look
here to-night?" '
The girls stepped back, and it
seemed to me I was left alone in the
universe with that approaching figure.
"Can you tell me where I can find
Jennie liaudall ?"
I know not if I answered. I don't
think there was time, before I was
close folded iu those strong arms and
bearded lips took possession of mine.
When I found breath and thought
for speech, I iried to free myself as I
whispered, "But your wife ; I have no
right to your caresses. She stole
them from me."
"Hush I" said he ; "she is resting
under the sod, and L bear from her to
yoa the confession she gave me. She
sinned, aud she repented. Let us
forgive her as we hope to be forgiven."
1 How long we stayed there, I canuot
tell, but when we entered the; house,
uncle and aunt had gone to their
room. The candles flickered on the
mantel, and as the girls came forward
to meet me, 1 camM down from the

My sioft was full, wanting nothing.
10 very breath must have been praise,
for in that hour I forgot tho past, and
had no thought of the future. The
present held all perfection to me.
I wondered at myself, as I I looked
in the glass. "Surely," said I, ' it is
the glory from my soul, toncbiug up
all my countenance, for this is notdhe
face 1 have looked at all these years."
1 weut into the parlorbut I doubted
my own senses at the tableaux I be
held. There was George Yaubess, in
uncle's arm ehair; beside him stood
Bella, with one arm around his neck
and the other hand perfectly; at home
among those whiskers, which I should
have claimed as my ospeciul property.
Kjate was perched upon his lap. and
wis talking in a very rapid aud ani
mated manner.
They all enjoyed my surmise, and
George sid, as he shook, them off,

I looked from one to another:
"What dots it mean ?"
"Just this," said Kate, "that I have
stretched my waud over you all.

After prayers that morning George

Then he said, with a half glance, at
me, "After servico to uignt vie shall

I shall c irry off my bride, for whom 1
have waited fifteen years."
lhe last words silenced me, though
I was glad of Bella's bending caress

Only oue month before I bad called
my life a failure. We are all too
swift to pronounce upon ourselves and

failure who see neither the end nor

Let us believe in happiness, though
sorrow hath been learned well, even
by heart. Believe in light, althou
