At the breakfast table thelittle fam ily w ere all present ; the little girls looking frch and beautiful tossing their curly heads with the most i winning grace.

He halt-thought last night tfiat this giil was occupying a place that; should not be hers, and he was satisfied now, that there was some hidden tccret. lie must know,, he would know it. It was 'is yet unknown to his grandmother, fur only the night before he had ques tioned her regarding the young lad3".

' - ' Certainly, said Rose. 'Bo xy ou ! suppose that we would attempt a garhe i without her, if so it would bea fail ure : recently ?' said Mrs. Grey as she caress ed her boy in a loving manner. Thus time passed until he had been at home for three months, in all this time he had not spoken to Flo ra of his deep love. , One evening he was sitting With his arms folded on a table before her, watching her closely. Can I tell her, he thought, shall I tell her? He trem bled as he thought of it, thought of his deep grief if she could .. not love him in return for the strong love that he had given her so long ago. Herbert spoke of some new plant, of exquisite loveliness, which he had placed in the conservatory that day. The two arose and walked through -the parlor to the conservatory, and there afterj Florin's aduBjration of the - beau tiful fdower was expressed, and stand ing there with the last rays of the set ting sun quivering through the green leaves of a. luxuriant vino falling upon her in all its tremulous glory. Herbert could delay no longer,; and" there and then he poured into her ears h;s tale of ldve. lie spoke in alow earnest tone-, and with the most im passioned eloquence, then pausing! a moment, as if recovering from his own overwrought feelings he came nearer and nearer, until his lips almost touch ed her checks, and in the most plead ing, touching language, this man of rank and fortune asked Floria to be his Tvifc 1 She looked with soft pitying eyes upon him, hen her eyes fell and her hands lay folded in her lap", " I want to tell you Mr. Grey,' she began, 'something about myself, this secret I have withheld from your grand mother, to whom I shall ever be grate ful, for the love she has given me, and the kindness shown me knowing noth ing of my past life.' 1 It is the old story of conflicting wills in regard to marriage, a marriage planned by a shrewd parent, and to which the daughter refund to listen, anger and bitterness would have re sulted, but to avoid these, she left her home in the night, left without one word to tell them of her future, and Floria Rivers with all her luxurious surroundings, become a governess. : i I have never heard from my father sine the night that I left, until yester day when I received a letter from him begging my forgiveness for the past, confessing his fault in the matter, his utter selfishness, and pleading with me to return and be his daughter again, to make once more a happy home for him. t4ias been desolate for these four should be pleasantly surprised when he should arrive. It has been six months since Floria returned to her Father's house - to day Gerard Alwin ls'txpected by the Col. but not one word has he said to Floria concerning him. But to Gerard Alwin ; when once he had fairly started the vessel seemed to creep, the days to drag aloDg. Had the slow wearing years kept him to greet a true, and faithful love was he going home to take the laurels he had won to her, and now again he would offer not only a true heart, but wealth, fance, and an honored name. Ah! they would, receive and welcome him back ; with thoughts like these he wore each day away, and at last the briny road lay alh brhind him, he jail ed away a man of many fears and with lit'Ie hope he returned a man with high hopes, knowing no fears. The meeting between Mother and son was one of joy, and thanksgiving, she had charged little, txcept the few lines about the forehead, which Gerard d clared enhanced her beauty tenfold as he looked at her with love and de votion.

Floria, her eyes filled with suddeil teais stretched out her hands towards him with a gesture of inexpressible pity but instantly sards back in her chair, and struggled for composure She looked up into the great sheltering Heavens.

Through my hoisted irouthe n window I see the greea trees and hill as far as the eye can icach. All natu e seems to slum ber, not one of the thousand leaves is stirring. The heavens are illumined by my iads of resp'esdant st irs, and the song of the mock-bird adds a gem te the crown of mother night. Not a speck of cloud is to be seen, and the 'azure vaults of heaven" with their lamps of nature forma picture which the pt ncil of Apelles could not pai.t. How dead is man toal these beau ties. Man, he c ovninr obiect of all the wondeis w-oich God has c eated ! The being made in the image of his Cre ator, aud e ado wed with mind, heart and soul, is less prone to ra;se his voice in adoration to the Supreme Being than the birds of the air. For what pii'pose are such blessings as the beauties of this night sent us, if not to show the greatness of the Almighty? And for what imrpose is the storm, with its darkness, lain aud mighty wind sent, if not to show the power of God and the teiTur ot his angtr ? But to show us that his hand can be staid by no ooe of his creatures? Then knowing, as we should know, his good ness and groatness . why are Vc not prone to btn.l t'-c knee in sincere wor ship" and to ud mire the many blessings he sends v.s?

She thought of the old home, if she would find- her own room in which had been spent, the happiest days of her life, as she had left it if her own' maid was there to meet her ? Soon all these questions would be ans wered, for she was almost at home. CHAPTER VIII.
