She .is loving, affectionate, kind-hearted, and always ready, like a " guardianangel," to sympathize with the downcast and disconsolate. She is a ministering angel in every good word and work. Not only when prosperity's smile is in our midst -when wealth's luxuries are in our laps when health is glowing upon our cheeks, as a rose-bud in sum mer's morn; and when we are in the enjoyment of all the blessings of life ; but in the trying hour of adversity, when sorrow encamps about us when misfortune's iron hand is laid upon us and above all in the hour of afflic tions," when we are racked with pain, and our brows scorched with fever when everything around us is dark and dreary, and when there is no friend to administer as much as a drop of cool water to our fevered Hps, or speak one consoling word to us then comes Woman as pure as the snow-flake, and harmless as a dove with her soft, angelic hand to wipe the perspiration from our aching brows, and to pour into our hearts the oil of her consoling sympathy, and in nu merous ways, minister to our comfort and relief. Oh! how consoling to our drooping spirits, to kiow that there is some one, at least, to sympathiz e with us in the hour of affliction and dis tress! This is not all see her in the moral and social world. Look wnat sne is doing to moralize the young. Look at her influence at home, in her family and see her ways and hoar the kind words of instruction, and see the sweet smiles of her face all speaking in the tenderest tones of her goodness. See her m the reherious world, ana see j what a great influence she is wielding in this nobla cause. Behold her ! Listen at her sweet and melodious drich, "poor, thoughtful sister Katy said she was afraid you would have a cold, and Miss Bruce said nothing. Colonel Mordaunt's countenance elongated again. But. he stepped for ward and laid the knot of moss roses on the folds of Valentin's white dress, with a few murmured words that no body could understand. "Flowers, eh?" said Frank, super ciliously, "upon my word, Jack is get ting prodigal." Valentin looked carelessly down into the cluster of pink buds, and then de liberately took them up and tossed thein out upon the lawn. "Explain, if you please," said Frank composedly,' 5 while Mcrrdaunfgrew scarlet and bit his lips until the blood started. "There was a worm a horrid green worm, on one of the buds," haughtily said Valentin, shaking off one of' two crimson petals that still adhered to her dress. "I have a perfect horrow of all such insects." "Do you hear that, Jack ?" appealed Mr. Aldrich, lazily turning around his chair. "It is a pity you wore so un fortunate in the selection of your floral offering." But Colonel Mordaunt has left the room. -Kate followed him the next minute. "Dearest Jack, are you vexed, with Valentin and Frank? They don't mean to annoy you, I'm sure " "Not vexed, dear," said Mordaunt, speaking slowly and sadly "only grieved. I am sorry Miss Bruce finds me so disagreeable," He went up stairs, while Kate hesi tated a moment below. "He is better by himself," she said mentallv. "Poor fellow, he's dreadfully in love, and I wish Valentin and Frank wouldn't tease him so." And she went down in the terraced garden to gather honeysuckles for the parlor vases, and muse on her brother's manifold grievances. "It is too bad, so it is !" she murmur ed, winking back the bright drops that would suffuse her hazel brown orbs. "I shall talk seriously to Valentin about it this very evening." Meanwhile, Colonel Mordaunt stall edsudtilyup stairs, into his sister's pretty little sitting-room, where the , and pick coming tVlft. rj inns Allmrtli hoq irrr up the roses again." There strong symptoms of tears a sort of quivering sob in the voice. "You won't forgive me, Kate? Not if I tell you that I really do love your tall stern brother ?

I love him Katy, I may tell you of it, dear, without being bold or unwomanly, because you know we have often talked about his liking me a lit tl& and oh, Kate ! answer me ! don't be so cold and cruel !

He strove to catch tho hand to de tain the frightened beauty long enough to plead his cause in earnest, impas sioned words, but in vain. Fear seemed literally to lend her wings. Away, like a frightened white dove she flew, uttering wild hysterical screams, and fairly falling into the arms of the astonished Katy Mordaunt, who was just, coming in from the star lighted garden with both hands full of dewy branches of honeysuckles. "Valentin," she exclaimed, dropping the spicy blossoms, "why, what is the matter ? What can have startled you so dreadfully?" "Oh, Katy i Katy!" sobbed Val entin, clinging to her friend's shoulder with a nervous vehemence, "there is a man in your room a robber hiding under your cashmere shawl on the sofa ? Oh, I am nearly frightened to death!" Katy's serene brown eyes dilated a little then brightened into a smiling archness, . . "A robber !" she repeated, with pro vokiner calmness.
