Some familial movement resembling feature, re-called her husband, and her heart stood still with a strange longing. But the dark, bearded strancrer -was very different, yet strangely like the fair, boyish Winthrop Ainsley, who left her years ago. She watched him eagerly, and when he ascended the steps and rang the lell, without wait ing a servant, she went out.

" I have not deseryed so perfect a forgiveness from you, my Laura !" " But I am happy that you are here, Winthrop. Now let us forget, if we may, that long separation! And tell me of Richard, you say you met him." I was taken sick in a small village on the banks of the Ganges sick nigh unto death. The first - recollection I have after the fever left me, is of larjre, melancholy black eyes, the counterpart of your own, looking anx iously into my face. But the strange, bearded face which carried my mind back to home' and native land, went out, and I sank into sleep.

Ever since symmetry boiran. and harmonv displayed her charms, our Order may bo said to have had a being. No art or science pre ceeded it. In the dark ages of anticj uitv, when literature and science were but little cultivated, Free-Masonry dif fused its inlliter.ee. The arts arose, and the progress of knowledge and philosophy, gradually dispelled the gloom of ignorance and barbarism. Lodges, at length, wen; congregated, and the Order assumed an established form. Encouraged by tho wise and good, in all age they spread over the face of the globe, and diffused unboun ded utility. Free-Masonry is confined to no par ticular country, but extends, with civ ilization, into the remotest corners of the earth. It is claimed by no sect. It is attached to no party. Wherever there is a human being,, there will its influence be beneficial.

MCCONAT'tiUY; It was a very timid ring-at the door- -bell, and Miss Alice answered it her self as she was passing through the hall. A sorry littlo figure stood there in the frosty autumn morning. No won der thu blue hand touched the bell pull timidly. At so many doors she had met, with harsh repjulses, with an gry words lor the trouble she had made while not a syUabie of her peti tions would they hear. 'Only a beg- . gar!" and the door was slammed in her face. But one glance into that gentle, pitying face awoke a new hope in the wretched littlo heart. Sho was ust beginning her request when Alico with a littlo welcoming gesture. aid "Come in to the lire, poor child !" There was a depth and heartiness in the tono which told of a heart within which had been taught by the spirit of God. Poor Jennie followed her in, taking care to wipe the old water-soaked shoes neatly upon the door-mat. Half be wildered, she took her seat as directed y tho glowing fire, and spread her be numbed lingers over its cheeriny warmth. A good breakfast of whole some food and a cup of delicious coffee made all tho world glow with a new light. A few loving words brought out the whole history. It was the old, old story of a drink -cursed home. Once a neat cotttge in the country, now a desolate room in a tenement- house in town. "Could you come to Sabbath-school. Jennie, if you had suitable clothing?" "Yes ma'am, if I might keep my clothes; but ho would be sure to sell them." She blushed to think what tho money would go for. ' "Couldyou not hide them somewhere?" "I might, in Aunt Nannie's room. Sho is kind to me, and her room has a good door with a bolt to it." It required much scheming to perfect the plan, but Miss Alice never stopped at half measures. She had a soul to save, and a character to form for use fullness or wretchedness hero and hereafter. Sho made her as comfort able as sho could, und sent her away with food for her mother in her basket and a dear bright book full of sweet words for young hearts hid in her bo som, lsut its glowing color was not half so bright as tho blessed sunshine in her heart, lighted by those words of kindly sympathy. Such words had been like angles' visits to the poor child. No wonder they wote prized. Now a hope rose in her heart of some day rising from her present wretched level. It was up-hill work and many were tho discouragements in her way. But her heart was set oh continuing in her ., -i- it t l -i . : : j v.
