Just at this moment a child, of app- roily ten summers, enters the room a fair and beautiful child she is : a tiny, elfish crea ture. Her expressive eyes, which are of no positive hoe,. but partake of both the violet sod the gray, now holds in thm a sad, wistfu liitht which is pitiful toaeeln so young a child ; ad the long, silken lathes that vsil them, acxi sweep ineiranapareui wliitepessof her full, rounded cheek, are wet with tears. A band of blue ribboo 'confines the profusd cluster of light hrowa ringlets from the low, smooth forehead. Ab'int the .rose-bud month there lurks a weary, grieved tipressfon, as she now soft ly approaches the couch upon which lit the form of Mrs. Ellwood, and giiz'js ami mixly for a moment upon the pale, sunken face, then touching the emaciated hand of the sufferer, she call, in a low, musical voice : "Mamma!" Instantly the bright, brow a eyes open, and the pile lips as-ed : " What is it, Jlelviun?, my darling?" " Nothing, mamma j only everything was was so still, and yriu looked so pale I grew frightened," sheauswered, kissing her fond " My poor child I" exclaimed the moth er, tears gathering iu her lar;e, dark eyes, as she returned tho. ciiild's caress, Hnd rtroked the light golden ringlets in a len der way. uo you wain anyuimg, mamma: aH ed the little one. f No.'my child; nothing." Then, after a moment's pause, she added : "Mamma will not be with you much longer, Bel vi one ! she must soon leave her darling und go out all alone into the mysteries of eternity." "Oh, mamma, dear mamma, do not speak of leaving yoiir Belvie; f.r what will she do without you, her only iriend !" cried the child, yielding to a stormy flood of tears, and burying her face iu the white covering of the conch. " Po not weep, Belvie, darling," answer ed the mother, uliicinff her weak apd Yie.n1 Ming hand loyjngly upon the uuuy head ; "you'wilPnut be entirely friendless. I have written to your uncle' Gilbert." "9'v Diamma I canjot gj to him ; 1 cannot ba dependent upon one who ha treated you so shameful 1 1" she ihterrupt- ed. raising her bead from its bowel pudi tien, while a proud light ' flashed in her tear-bright eyes. "You must, my child ; I have already written the letter, and I know that Gilbert not, eanuot be so cruel as to deny the request, of his dying sister, the one whom, in bygone days, he .loved so, fondly, in by gone days, ere the golden sun of childhood had set, and ere the rays of fickle fortun had ceaoed to shioe. Those were happy days, Belvinue, the happiest of your tuatr 'ma's life,, except the two brief years she pent with your npble father, who died be rore he saw your infant face, or heard your baby lips lisp the came ef papa.

The voice of the sufferer died away almost lo a whisper, and a b.ue shadow settled about the small, pale mouth as she finished. " Mamma, mamma I" wailed the child", her slender form convulsed with nbs, "do not talk so : you will kill your Belvie ; I cannot live without you 1" "Would that I could .spare you, darK in?," the mother amwered, drawing with her little remaining strength the sweet, vnung face cl to her purple ll, and, kissing the quivering innith, " but soon you niuat know all ; and hut f r 1-aving !'oo, my darliug, I would gUdlj go to the oving parents and hn tand that I know await rrn up"u the blintlul shore of leav en.
