A Mr. Blalcesford stood rooted to the
tpot ftomjrWcli be had first aeen th light;
4)r. JIansorte passed him in his baggy.
The doctor wag driving fast, but he lean
ed way oat of his carriage and tookv a
Jeiaorely andcareful surrey of his minis
ter., flia road lett him, too, directly in
front of Faith Halstead's boarding-house ;
and the open casement, with the welcom
ing light str.nclc him at least as a coinci
dent; Dr. Hansome is a Christian phy
akiaa and a wise man ; he respects and
loreV bis young minister. " What can
thl meant" he asks himselfr with an in
ward misgiving against trhich he strng
jjles manfully. -
5Xr. Blakesford hears the buggy, recog
nizes it as belonging to the doctor, but
forgets, it before the soand of the wheels
have died away. He has come, now, near
Mia Kipphotise j he wonders if she-sees
himVif she will suspect that he is there to
watch, too; and he starts lact, witn
shudder, at the position in which it place
him, he watching hia betrothed ; he sus
pecting her of an infidelity for which he
dare not giTe a name ! Oh, shame ! He
felt his manhood so degraded, his love so
degraded, that if the earth upon which he
stood would only open and swallow him,
rhr a romfort it would be. Mother Earth
w6 call her, but a very crael mother she
always proves when her 'wretched child
ren call to her for this relief.
One o'clock ! The bell from his steeple
boomed out the hour slowly, solemnly, as
he bat often heard it strike the first fun
eral note. Why not! Wtisn't his love,
his life, dead, and only the burial remain
ing f Still the glimmering light ; still the
open casement and still Sophronia Kipp,
and himself watching, watching. All
the rest of Darlington asleep. Well, let
it sleep; no slumber could be too deep to
hide what was there enaeting.
Two o'clock ! Faith had been several
; times to the window mow, and looked,
anxiously up and down the street She
was evidently expecting some one who
did not come. Mr. Blakesford fancied she
was pale, and that he could discern a look
of trouble. His impulse was to cross the
street and say a few words to her. Any
thing would be better than the suspense
he was undergoing:; but he could no more
kiT rlrmo an tlinn hp, rould have cone
home; he must stand still, just where he
was, and watch the thing to its bitter
nd.
As this long, long night drew to its
1nA ffc wig rlmrlirrht Kpfmn to sfen.1 ii n
ftverthe clear heavens above the little
" y ' I
street where this tragedy was enacting.
It came as gently and as benignly as if it
were only to dawn upon a happy, good
lyoridjover which God had watched bene
ficently during its absence. Faith Hal-
steadcameonce more to the window, then
nj 5f f 7i.r. i,o f t
her lhrht: and Mr. Blakesford. with a
long-drawn sigh of relief, turned and went
home. At least tho dreaded vistor had
not come that night ; and was there not,
might there not be, a blessed possibility
that, after all aftr all. Sonhronia Kinn
had been mistaken t Against this, Mr.l
Blakesford's good sense obliged him to
Blakesford's rood sense obliged him to
put the open window, the light, and the
Wtteher. No, no; it was true, andne
niust now prepare lumself for the worst !
Nature is kinder to us than Mother
Earth. When Mr. Blakesford threw him-
Self upon his bed, well spent both in body
ana mind, sleep came at once to his re-
'

"Miss Halstcad's brother T and, aa he

ford staggered back to his seat. '
"Yes, it waa a sudden death, and there
is something very . mysterious about' the
whole affair. He waa boarding at Mr.
Towne's, just out of thv village) yot
know the house. He has only been mere
a couple of weeks, and he was very sick
when he came, but he was not willing to
allowit. He was stricken down last night j
with a sort of fainting fit. I was on my
way there when I passed yon." Dr. Han-
some had not intended to say this, but
had stumbled into" it." "As soon as he
came to hw senses, I told him he must
die, and he begged me lo bring his sister t o
him. He told md a little of his story"
the common one ofsin and shame. All
his friends supposed him dead ; but he
was just out of prison, and 6ngcd so for
his sister that he madly traced her out,
&nd soucrht her in the night only. He has
seen her but a. few, Jimesuntil now,
when he was hyiigl? tool? herJd him,
and heknew nevftrid eemed comforted
by herpresence. I never" wiping the
tears from his eyes "saw such a touch

" 'Faith, dear Faith V he Raid, 'sing: to
me, 'Jesus, lover of my soul,' as mother
used to sing ft to us when we were child
ren: Derhana God will forgive me, and
Jesus save me and hide me, for her sake.'
And she sang it, with one hand in his and
the other wiping off the death-sweat.
Come, Mr. Blakesford, come. Why do
you sit staring at me so ? She is very
much excited and exhausted, and needs
you ; she cnt me for you."
Silently, Mr. Blakesford rose, and fol
lowed the impatient doctor to his chaise ;
he waa so pale that, as lie stepped in, the
physician looked him steadily in the face
again and put his hand down to lift his
medicine-chest; but, after a second thought,
rive the reins to his horse and trotted
briskly out to Mr. Towne's house. The
ride-was a short one, and, before the
minister had time to collect himself, they
had stopped before the door.
Faith was sitting on the wooden seat of
au old-fashioned portico, and, as the car
riage stopped, came down the little path
to meet them. She was perfectly calm,
and held out her hand to her friend as
quietly as if she had only parted from him
an hour before. The hand was so cold
that took it, she looked up into his face
inquiringly for a moment, but seemed un

Faith was sitting alone in her room, when

There's no committee about it," went
on Miss Kipp ? "it's jist 'cause I must al
ways be- putting' iny fingers into what
don't belong to me j' the Lord knows that
if lie u1ll only forgive mo this time, and
help me out, never nerer, so long as I am

life, lve prayed now for forgiveness;
but, arter! alU, it's borne in ou me that it
ain't God, as much as it's you," looking,
with eyes running over with tears, into
Faith's wondering face, "that ought to be
asked to forgive me; I. suppose it will
seem like mockeTV to vou now, to hear
me say I roWo1 it all for the best."
'lf you will tell me what you are talk
ing about, I can answer you better," said
Faith.
And then Sophronia Kipp told the whole
story, keeping back nor jot nor tittle
She knew it all, how Mr. Blakesford had
spent so much of the night in watching
her window ; how Dr. Hansome had pass
ed him in his gig, and looked from him
to the light in the window ; how Dr. Han
some was a good Christian man, and how
neither he nor she had ever opened their
lips about what they had seen to any per
son in the whole parish ; how struck dumb
and penitent she had been ever since ; and
how dreadful it was to have to sec her
minister go round, looking like a ghost
more and more ; and how people had be
gun to ask her what had gone wrong, and
if that engagement wasn't a-going to be
broken, after all ; and how she had allers
told them : "No, not in this world ; and
for the other, the parish of Darlington had
better leave it for him to take care of,
who did pretty much there as he thought
best."
All this Faih heard through without
interrupting her ; then she said, so gently
and so sadly that Miss Kipp at once felt
for her handkerchief :
"Thank you, Miss Kipp; I do not feel'so
much wonder at you. I wish I had known
it before ; but I am very grateful to you
for having told me now."
"The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice,"
said Sophronia Kipp, rather inappropriate
lv; but -then it waa the first and only
thing that occurred to her, and, under its
covering, she walked softly across the
road home, a sadder and a wiser woman
for the remainder of her natural days ; and
Faith Halstead, in the course of the even
ing, WTote this note:
"Poor Henrv, I am so grieved to think
of what you have stifle-red. Miss Kipp
has just been in and told me all. For
myself, it matters little. God disciplines
me a, in his wonderful kindness, he sees
is hesi for me: if in the end it all makes

me better, fits me more wholly to walk

Rut bad Darlington leen as ignorant
of all that was taking place as Sophronia
Kipp supposed ! Indeed it had not.
Other eyes besides hers ami Dr. Hansome's
had seen the nightly visitor at Faith Hal
stead's room, and whisper of infidelity
and disgrace had leirun to circulate around
the parish. Tho School Committee had
been notified of the unworthiness of their
teacher : the Church Committee bad nn-
pointed a meeting of special and private
consultation ; Mrs. Deacon Hatch had
made a number of solemn calls : and an in
diimation so deen as to l thnu fr atill

A man attempted to defraud the China
men of Virginia City, Nevada", recently,
by informing them that the Legislature
was about to pass a bill to cut off their
pigtails, and that unless they raised him
eight hundred dollars to pay a lawyer and
put a stop to it, the bill would surely be-
me a law ; They asked for a little time
in which to raise the money, and thus the
fraud was discovered.
"When Peter of Croton was engaged on
a picture for the royal "palace of Petti,
Ferdinand II. particularly admired the
representation of a weeping child. "Has
your Majesty" said the painter, "a mind
to see this child laugh !" And suiting the
action to the word the artist merely de
pressed the corner of the lips, and the
inner extremity of the eyebrow, when the
little urchin seemed in danger of bursting
hig sides with laughter, who, a moment be
fore seeriied breaking his heart with weep
ing. If this be true in the world of living
men, slight, very slight, are the causes
that make or break the happiness of life.
The touch of a brush can dim heaven with
a cloud, or brighten the prospects of a fair

Chief Justice Marshall was in the habit
of going to market himself, and carrying
homo his purchases. Frequently he would
be seen returning at sunrise, with poultry
in one hand, vegetables in the other. On
one of these occasions, a fashionable young
man who had removed to Richmond, was
swearing violently because he could find
no one to carry hme his turkey.
Marshall stepped up and asking him
where he lived. "That is my way and I
will take it for you."
When they came to the house, the
voung man inquired, "What shall Ipav
you?"
"Oh, nothing, said the Chief Justice,
"you are welcome, it was my way and no
trouble.1'
"Who's that old man, who brought
home my turkey- for me f" inquired the
young man of a bystander.
"That," replied he, "is Mr. Marshall,
Chief Justice of the United States."
"Why did he bring home my turkey ?"
"To give you a severe reprimand, and
teach you to attend to your own busi
ness," was the reply.
Oftentimes a man ransacks the whole
house for a pin, and, not being able to find
one, drops into a chair with disgust, and
is immediately rewarded for the search.
Pretty girls are like confectionery in
