It was the old, every day and usual story weary in the telling and weary in the aetin. She was all the world to me. while I was iiothinv to her. And yet I wron' her. She did lore nie, in her pen. tlo, winsome way, as a child lores one who lias guarded and Watehed it will, ear,. "You like me. Jamen don't you ?" she would sometimes ask, roguishly; and 1 would lauh and call her n baby, even while the man's heart within was lon-ino to tell her of the love that tilled mo and would linger till Qod should jjivc me rest. 1 nerer did tell her, though sometimes the temptation seemed greater than I could eiimliat. 1 knew so well how li wouiu nave pameil her gentle heart to know she hail caused me sorrow, however unintentionally. And I loved her too well to shadow, even lightly, her days with grief. She was the light of our home this girl, with her grave eyes and merry ways uid the sunlight of that dull, i;ray life into which my footsteps had fallen ever since years before the trouble had conic upon u which had driven our father to a suicide's grave and left us be,'i;ars. 1 Was tlit! pistol- of St. Stephen's ('Imnh a little, unostentatious edifice. whose congregation was none, of the umst rctined. Huteilv indeed had 1 rebelled against the quiet, uneventful life which I kn?w lay before me when I accepted the rectorship of Kingston; but gradually I had buried all mr high hopes und aspira tions ; mid the years, us they glided on ward, mid had brought tne peace One day a message had eouie to my sister from a friend who was dvini: in London. She obeyed the summons; and three days later she returned with a little, solemn fjced child, who crept lik a liuv ghost into my arms, laying her tired head on my shoulder. J.uues saiil my sister, "I want to have this little birdling stay with us. She is fathcrhas and nioihcrlcss. ami his no one in the wide world to protect lisr." I looked down into her big. brown which eyes were, watching nr. "She is the daughter of you friend '!" I interrogated. "Yes; and before she died. I prom ised " . L 1.

Certainly we will kirn the chil l, and guard her as her dead mother would have done." So the little one's fate was decided our home was her home hencofoil h ind to the best of her ability my sisi, r stood in place of the mother she had lost. Year by year she grew more dear to us. All the Kivnj love of Kato'l nature Wai lav ished on Wr, sure what she rewired fir me, and the latter was no beggar's por tiou. Hut to me Kuth Farley grew up to be dearer than a sister though, thank tiisl. she never knew my heart s secret -never knew mo other than her own fond, in dulgeut foHtcrhrothor. All, mo! how foolish we are, the best of us, sonittime ! Uow we crwUc bright, inwgin vjftw' au4 (,le jijom with those over hoV Urea We havif1 no con trol I A change came tho change with which I have opened this narrative. lirian Vaughan and I had been friend in our yootlt In my Ktonianfdajs.l bad always liked tho wild, impulsive boy, whose nature was itiauge miituro of grand virtues and ureal fault whose life had been empty for tho love all children erne in the midst of the grandeur which surrounded him. There had been a change in a good many things since our parting, and ha had changed with the real. Then ho was Dcarooly twenty-one, and had not learned much of the world'i wiiilom. His standard of truth and honor bid been very high, and bil wul had reverenced every grand or great with all a boy's passionate purity. Of late certain whispers concerning him had reached me odd bits and ends of what society thought of him for bis talents and family were distinguished enough to make it worth the world's while to attend to him. It was rumored he had trilled with the nirections of numerous women; that he had wasted any amount of talent through sheer indulencc; that though he had many friends warmly at tached to him. he himself was incapable of any warm attachment; and this marked want of anything lovable in his nature was made all the more prouiimeiit by a sin gular charm of manner, which for the time being was certain to win any one. Hut it was hard for me to believe that a few short years of contact with the world had warped all the good ill him. I was certain that beneath the thin crust of cynicism, which tho spurious dandies of to day consider (piite the thing, lay many noble qualities a little choked in their growth, perchance, by the atmosphere be breathed but still there! remnants of the lolly aspirations which bud won my heart at school. A dlslaiit relative of his mother had died, leaving him a small annuity, and a great barracks of a place, called Italcigh Hall, remarkable for nothing but its numberless, mothcatcu rooms and general dilapidation. lie had accepted the money, ns he afterward informed me, with alacrity; but the Hall was in danger of never again seeing him; when, by some strange froak, he one day left London, in the very height of the season, and came there for what he termed' quietness and peace. As our cottage was within easy walk ing distance of the Hull, it was not re markable that wc often met; ami grad ually the old friendship was renewed; for he was pleased to greet me with a gen uine heartiness that was not feigned, and 1 was glad to welcome him to my home. 'o you like him ?" I asked ltuth, a week or two after he had arrived. She was bending over a rosebush, clip ping the dead leaves with a little pair of scissors, and she did not raise her head as she answered mo: "Yes." I never asked her again I bad no need to for in the days that followed her eyes told me all I wished to know. Looking at him that morning, T ac knowledged to myself that be was the pleasantcst, cheeriest companion I had ever seen, wun a manner so inn oi o.oi Itiimif that few could resist its charm, ami i ih, not blame tier that when he was near she seldom saw or noticed me. They were standim: together now. "Look! she said, alter a moments silence, stopping to show him an exquisite little view through a gap in the trees a yellow com field, a purple moor, a hill bc- bevond, and the clouds over all, bathed in a sudden glory by the morning's sun Do not scenvs like these make you love (iod. as children love those who are kind to them ?" Hut the lovclv face near him attracted his attention fur more than the landscape though I know he was charmed by the quaint, simple words. "llow dilfcrent you are, lluili, from the women one generally meets," he said. He meant tb i very highest praise. She took his words as a kind of rebuke, and her face saddened. ' Is it well to lie unlike all the world?' she sighed. "Yet what you (ay is true, no doubt. I suppose I am different from all the peo ple you know." "You are indeed I" ho replied, in a tone so grateful that it ouuht to have coiivevisl to her his meaning. Hut grief and disappointment bad fullen upon her. 'Yes. of course !" she returned, deject edly. Tbcu, after a little jiause. she added: '-l,iw paltry our lives must ai pear in comparison bi yours ! and how glad you will be to go back aguin !" lie laid his hand gently oil I he little lingers that rested on the gate, and smiled. "Hy reluming I would lose you" hi said, and then cannot be much gladucs in the thought of tlut." "Uu't it strange," she remarked rather irrelevantly, "how p,ntc come and go in one's life, like the waves of the rest! lea? and how soon wo can forget the fiicud of a year in a day f" "Hut the nave that departs in til iiii long comes ouek si uiglit, he whis pered; "und oik may cliomr to forget, and nit bo able to accomplish, t he desifd for to forget, or to remember, lion not within one's power." "We seldom wish to forget a pleasant thing I" she said slowly, revealing more in her simple speech than she was aware of. A great tide of tenderness swept across his face as he laid hit hand on her bright hair. "Kuth," he said, bis voice lingering softly over her name, "oue cannot deny there is a (iod when one reflects that He creates such beings as you." 5he lifted her grave, brown ryes to his face. "Tell me has your visit here been a Jiippy one ?" There was a world of entreaty in her voice, and her lips quivered slightly. 'I was never before, I may never again be as happy as t have been during the past few weeks iu Kingston." Then there was a pause. To them both the hour was fraught with a tremulous joy a vague, sweet longing that meant love as yet untold. That night she was strangely quiet; and missing the uicrry laugh, I became un easy; and when, for a brief while, wu were lone together in the tiny, perfumed gar Icn, I asked her if any thing had bai- pcncd during the day to give her pain. l or answer she smiled brightly iu my face, ami her lit tlo hands stole eonfidiuglv into mine. And looking down ul her, where she rested at my feet, I saw that though she was but a child iu years a child iu heart I he woman's soul that lay in her was waking. "Until," 1 said, stroking the bowed head very tenderly, until he came your love was given ta us undivided; now it is lilTercnt; but, dear child, keep one little portion of your heart reserved for us und think of us sometimes." "Kver! ever!" she answered, iu a low, tremulous voice, with deen eiuution. I remember to love you both, always ami ever 1" '('hil l," I whispered, drawing the win mug tace near my own, some echo ol the paiu my heart felt lingering iu my voice, why did my friend come hero to disturb your calm serenity, and teueh you things you might otherwise never have known ?" Ciod seut him, I suppose," she ai swercd. a tender, loving smile pluyiu round her lips. "Love is an atmosphere that all higher souls breath in a medium through winch all tilings earthly seem clothed iu glories borrowed from heaven." "remaps so I 1 sigheil; "hut to very lew does it bring happiness, and many lives would be the belter without it." " 1 reason !" she returned, gayly. "You dear old hermit, must not think, because you are proof against and despise such fol lies, that all the world is the same !" And I laughed laughed pleasantly with never a tremble in my voice, (ioi knows, of all the martyrs who bavo lived and died died, a few perished in the arena at Home. CIIAI'TKH 11. l XlltR THK AI TI MX MlluX. It was night one of those soft, stilly uigbts when the earth laughs back to the star-studded sky and the very air seems filled with fragrance. The wind luur inured musically through the branches of the trees, rocking to sleep on its bosom the flowers, and whispering good night to the birds. In the distance lay the bay, calm and placid. Not a ripple, not a sigh, to disturb it serenity, or mar the per fect beauty of the silver pathway thrown su lightly upon it by the moon, which fell so clear, so unbroken, that one rouhl almost deem it possible to step upon it and walked onward to the sky that melted into it on the far horizon. "When I arusc and saw the iluu n, 1 Kiulteu fur lliee." The swift tones of the sweet singer's voice seemed not to disturb the exquisite silence of the night, but to him hariuu nixe and form part of its beauty. She was standing on a little rustic bridge, and the nuamliglit glimmered over her. kissing her lip, her cheeks and her w.ivy hair. A rre, fair woman was Kuth a rare, fair woman always but that night the gentle passion of her love made her seem almost divine, and Hriau Vaughan might be pardoned if in her presence be forgot all he should have re membered. 1 Kuth r From where I stood, iu the shadows of the tren, I saw the tender joy with which she turned to greet him. "It was your sweet voice that guided nie," he said, "or I might not have known where you were." She lifted her head ami smiled. As his gate met hers, some of tho truth and sweetness that belonged to her upruiig froui her to him, and the great, pure, honest love, that comes once ti, every nun came into bis eyes and lingered there. "Kuth, they want me at home!" he said, after a pause. "I will have, to leave in a few days " "To leave?" she rcM'atod. iu H Voice from which all joy had tlowu. "1 am sorry !" She turned away and looked straight beforj her. There was no quiver io l"'r Uuw her lips did not tremble yet he could see how pale she had grown beiici.lh the moonlight. Then she said, in a loin' so low he could barely hear : Why need you go until after Christ mas':" "ltuth, do you want mr. to stay?" li asked, taking gentle pension of her hands. "Tell me the truth !" 1 do !" she answered, tremulously. Hut why? It is because you love me, ltuth ?" Silence. Then, bending his head, he read in her eyes what her lips were afraid to repeat; and, with a glad, low cry, ho caught her in his arms. "Oh, child my little, whin child of of grace, I hive so hungered to know if it were true! I love, you wjth all my heart ! Tell me you love ine too!" She lifted one hand and drew his face down to hers. I love you now so will I always with all my heart and soul !" she whis pered. A strange, indescribable look of pain crossed his face, und I knew he was re setting the vanished days of his youth, when his standard of truth had been high, and his deeds for evil few, and he bad been more worthy of her. "Kuth," he said, pressing her close to his heart, "what 1 gaie into your inno ci'iiee eyes, and listen to your words, 1 feel like a lost soul, outside of the gate of par adise, who has mi right to hold commun ion with the angels within." She smiled contentedly from her shelter within bis anus. There would be no paradise if those we love could not enter !" she murmured. "Therefore heaven to mo would not be heaven if you were not there!" "You should not trust ine! he cried, remorsefully regretting, even while he gloried in, the lesson he had taught her. " 1 am not worthy of it !" ''lirian, lore should never doubt! He lieve ine, my heart loves you therefore my soul knows no fear." He did not answer for a while. Then, very gently, he released her; and taking both her hands iu bis, be looked steadily iuto her upturned face. "I am not a good man, darling," he said, l'eople have culled tun bad, and reckless not without just cause. Hut my surroundings have had a good deal to do with it, I think. When, as a child, I prayed, all a boy's passionate longing, for love, it was denied me. 1 had a mother who never kissed or caressed me as 1 saw other children's mothers do. I never had any one to sympathize in my taste, or teach ine to pray to the (Jud who created inc. And as I grew older, and learned that, though our names adorned the book at St. dames', and the queen figured on my mother's visiting list, we were very far from being rich, and that many were the struggles and trials which disturbed our family household, of which our aristocra tic friends never faintly guessed. 1 made up my mind that the best things in life were wealth and power, no matter what means were employed to obtain theni. The prayers I lisped in my babyhood were for wealth tlut panacea for all evil ind now, even now, (the anguish deepened in his voice) I left Loudon to avoid a cer tain lady my mother wishes me to marry, and whose wealth I know would have lempieit me nan I strayed. I am going back determined to try bard and conquer myself and rclurii to you. Hut love, can you trust me ?" 'in lit: I'cixi'ixi kh voMl: sickmxs. In no situation, and under no circum stances, iloes the tciaale character appear to such advantage as when watch side a bed of sickness. The cliambe disease may indeed be said to lie the man's home. We there behold her iu her loveliest, most attractive point of view firm, without being haish ; tender, yet not weak: active, vet quiet; gentle, patient, un complaining, vigilant. Kvery syuipalhetic fceliug that so peculiarly graces the fcuii- niue character, is there called forth; while the native strength of mind which li hitherto slumbered in inactivity, is mused to its fullest energy. With noiseless step she moves about the chamber of the valid; her listening ear ever ready to catch the slightest murmur; her quick, kind glance ever ready to interpret the muttered wish, and supply the half formed want. She siiiisitlis with careful baud the uneasy pillow that supports the aching head, or with cool hand smooths the fevered brow, or proffers to the glazed and parching lip the grateful draught, happy if she lucct one kind glance iu payment for her labor of love. Hers, too, is the low whispered voiiv, which breaths of life and ho of health in store for happy days to eouie; or tells of better ami of heavenly rest, where neither sorrow nor disease can eouie; where the dark power of death shall no more have dominion over the frail, suffering, p, riah iug clay. Through the dim silent watches of the night, whun all around are huslusl in sleep, it is hers to kis'p loug vigils, and to hold communion with her I iod, and silently lift up her heart iu fervent prayer, for the pmlongincnt of a life for which she would cheerfully sacrifice her own. Aud even wheu exhausted nature sinks tn brief rcsise, forgelfulness is denied. F.vell ill her sleep, she seemed awake to this one great object of her can1. She starts and rises from her slumtH'rs, raises her head aud watches with dreary eyes the face she loves, then sinks again to rest, to start with every chime of clock ordistaut sound, which formerly had passed unheard, or only served as a lullaby to her sweet sleep.

Some time ago there lived in Kdin- burg a well known grumbler, whom we will call Sandy Hlack, whosa frequent fits of spleen produced some amusing scenes of senseless irritability relished by all ex cept (he brute's good, patient little wife. One morning Sandy rose bent on a quar rel; the fish and eggs were excellent, done to a turn, and breakfast pass -d of without a cause for complaint. What will you have for dinner, Sandy? Mrs. Hlack. A chicken, madam, said the mean hus band. ltoast or boiled? asked the wife. Confound it, madam, if you had been a good and considerate wife, you would have known before this what I liked! Sandy growled out, and slamming the door behind him, left the house. The dinner time came and Sandy sat down to the table. The fish was eaten in silence, and, on raising the cover of the dish before him in a towering passion he aalled out: Hoiled chicken! I hate it, chicken boil ed is a chicken spoiled! Immediately his wife raised a cover for another chicken roasted to a turn. Madam, I won't eat roast chicken! roared Saudy. You know how it should have been cooked. At that instant a broiled chicken with mushrooms, was placed oa the table. Without green peas! roared the grum bler. Here they are, dear, said she. How dare you stiend my money in that way. They were a present, said she. Sandy, in desperation, rose from his chair, and rushed tioiu the room, with clenched fist, shouting: How dare you rvccive a prcseut without my leave.

Henry Ward Heeeher was low spirits the other night, nnd a certain amount of melancholy was infused into his prayer meeting. The hymns he se lected were of a mournful character and the prayer he sffcred up for the Itev. lr. Noah Hunt Sehenck was fervently sor rowful. He Uok for the subject of his talk the horror with which men view death, and dwelt long upon the theme. "It find were to ordain me to begin life again." he said, "of course I would list ebcerffllv. Hut I am glad the cud is drawliiL' nigh. I have had a good deal of trouble, though they say that thrashing is good for wheat and minister. It takes away lots of straw and leaves the grain. I hope it will have a good effect upon me." "And yet," said Mr Heeeher, wistfully am) deliberately. "I have had health, vigor, quick perception of humor, clear understanding, and great enjoyment in the production of it. I have had the smy- pathy of men. and certainly no being ever had a church gathered around him with people more affectionate in it. They love me, and have been taught, as the Lord has said, "those whom the Lord loveth he ch.tsiiscth." Mr. Heecber's voice sank into a whis per, und it was with an effort that he roused himself from his reverie. "1 am 71 or 71!, which is it? Not quite 812 years olil, I tliinlv, aud at that age most folsk are dead und gone. Hut I find my self in perfect health. I am strong, in good spiiita, and in good relations miih men. Hut I feel, with the Apostle Paul, that it is better to depart and be with Christ. I have had this feeling a good many years, and I did not die. I don't consider it as an iulimaliou that I am going to die, though 1 have the feeling uow. I cannot help thinking of Dr. Sehenck, who was my friend at a time when friendship meant something, and though 1 do not covet any one's goods, I say to myself: "Why he? Why not I?" It seems to me that these boundaries are either brought nearer to me or I to them. I have ehided myself that I have never been able to preach what lies latent in my fancy in respect to the blessedness of the other life. Dying is radiant. It is thi whiteness of the saints descending from heaven. AM. SHINS FAIL. IV lU.irill, All call Oil til aUt'tnl drivos a dray.
