At last Bessie reach ed her borne, which waa one ill-lighted rqom, with a dark closet adjoining, in a tumble down old bouse, situated in one of the courts of a dense ly populated neighborhood, and tenanted by five or sii families, besidja the Abbotts. It was horru, however, and Btsasie felt that it was so. - After running up the tottering stairs, she opened the door of her mother's room, which if not very comfortable, was at least very clean. " Oh, Bcsie, Bessie !, here is Bessie !" cried a posse of little ones aa she entered. " Here is Bessie come, mother. Come to mother, Bessie ; she's crying !" and two of the darling things sei sed their dear sister by the dress, and pulled her Ivrward, a though at ber coming their mother tears must dry. " What is the matter, mother dear V cried Bessie, frightened, aa she approached a neat, care worn wonun, who, with her hands convulsively pressed together, and silent tears dropping from her eyes, looked absorbed in hopeless distress. " Xiessie, Uessie, what .shall we do? she ex claimed, as 'her daughter knelt, and drew her arms round her; " what will become of us?'' " Oil, mother what is the matter ? What has happened?" rvturned Bessie, her own tears be-, ginning to flow in sympathy and alarm. ' "Oh, dear, I hoped to find you all so comfortable to night." ," Ah, and so we might hare been," answered mother, in a fooe o haartlbrokea desponden- tber. . iloweoulHi ft,..rmt4u I i. : ...

' And the master wanted it, and I hadn't it for taii-he waa angryaqd no won der ; only it's hard upon me, Bessie. And he says the waistcoats are worth two pounds, and he'll have them, or their worth, if be takes my bed from under me.

So approaching a lamp just inside of n gate, she with soiar diflicul-. ty deciphered the amounts of the nOtos of which two were fifty pounds, the other two respective ly for five-aud twenty. ' " It'a quite fortune," she murmured, in a low reverential tone, as she tried to grasp the idea oi so may pounds. " What a happy thing for me, and how sad for the per son who lost ill" Here the current 'of Uessie's rapturous thoughts received a sudden check; the smve faded from her lips, and she remained si lently looking on the pretty purse with a per plexity amounting to distress. " Oh me, but it is not mine !" she continued, her thoughts find ing vent in a half articulate form. ' This belongs to somebody, who is as sorry to lose it as I am pleased to find it, Oh I what- must-1 do ? I wish I bad never seen it.- Must I give it up just when we want it so?- And, then it was lying in my way, and nobody near who could have drop ped it. roor UesMe ! the struggle between conscience and want was very severe. She tricdr hard for a little while" to convince herself thnlshe. had a rijrht to what she found on the highway. but her principles wore too strong to allow of such self-deception; and besides, in testing the matter by the golden rule, she felt that if she had dropped her two shUlings on the previous night, she should have been very indignant with any finder - claimirijr & rht to' them. " No, I have no business with ibfydeed,ursbe murnur'lA, the tear 4 disappointment started tofe But, lovcver, sorely I ma keen just osj CI of tluiVait.s t tU pat Sylio lost iMarr' kat jrould yoa do with two pounds." Accordingly Bessie related her simple little idory as th reader knows it. At the conclu n, ber attentive listener smiled kindly. "You II a good girl, Bessie," said he. " Well, the Wrd I shall give you is twenty pound instead if wo. I had determined upon tbis if I were aisued with your answers."
