Standing behind their blos soming screen, slie showered the bright drops upon them till their leaves hung wet and glistening ; and while she watched the colored rays of light glan cing through the dripping water, a party of merry school children came running gaily by. "What pretty flowers !" said one of them, a gay girl of ten, who made A my think of her favorite little sister Sarah, whom she had left behind when she came from the countrv. And the children half-stopped, look ing partly at the flowers, and partly ! a answering its summons, beheld the lit tle girl standing there. " Why, poor child! what is the mat ter?" she said kindly, taking one of the tiny hands in her own and lead-j ing her gently into the doorway " what is the matter ?" The child's face flushed painfully, and Amy's tender" words brought a burst of sorrowful tears. but, with my permission, he would wait till the appointed hour which was then near at hand. Our conversa tion was resumed ; and presently , he asked my little ones to go to him. They obeyed at once, albeit they were shy children.

' " Anldi not only are thjcy pleasant to us, Aniy, ' said the vqung husband, "but tile sight of 'flowers blooming in a winddnv is sweet to miny and many a poor passer-by who sees, such things rarely. I thouirht of ii while I was placing tlicni there Tenderly Amy kissed tlui kind hand that held her own. " Dear Harry," she said, lovingly, "you think of eve ry oner" i "'And I thought, Aiuy," he contin ued, "it would be so 'pleasant, that whenever, as you sit in this'roopi, you see little children, or poor people, such as may often pass", going by and look ing upj at the flowers in the window, youwquld cutoff for them- some of. the blossoms they may covet; So tnat "perhaps our flowers miayUake some other hearts as happy as ours." , Treasuring in lier loving heart the words (of her kind and thoughtful hus band, from tihe window. She remembered them the next day, when Harry was gone away to business on a poor Avoman, her baby, that crowed and clapped its little pale hands at the sight of the blooming treasures ; and again, when a wan-looking milliner's girl, half-pausing at the- window, looked with long ing eyes at the flowers upon the sill flowers that she never hoped to raise in the dreary back attic where she lod ged: that she never beheld iri the half twilight of the sunless, silent work room, where day after day, she was drudging her life awav for a mean pit tance to buy her scanty portion ot dai ly bread. The poor little milliner, carried her precious flowers with Her as she 'went to her day's labor, and dreamed over them all day long of green country 1 .- i - -wl l.i'.-wl 1 A no 'cl'hna . .i m rl frn sunshine that she might only see in dreams ; and the baby played with its nosegay with the delight w ith which a petted child of fortune would have welcomed its gilded and costly toys; the little lame child forgot that he was lame, -while sitting down on a door- stone he leaned his head upon his hand, and with curious eyes studied the mys teries of every silken leaf and bud, thinking how wonderful they were, and remembering something he heard of a kind hand that made flowers alike for the, poor and the rich. And thus, while Amy scattered flow 'erss she was also sowing seed. Among her childish "pensioners," as Amy jhalf-playfully, half-afl'eetionateiy call led them, there was one who passed her window nearly every day; a pretty, delicate, almost frail-looking child of some eleven or twelve years of age a child for whose daily approach Amy gradually found herself watching with interest. She was poorly, plainly dressed, yet clean ahd tidy-looking; the faded hues and worn texture of her garments being only equalletVty their fresh and spotless look. Every day she came by the window; and every day she received from Amy's gentle finders a knot of fragrant blossoms, Amv only smiled as she gave them; and this smile, with the little girl's grateful look, and low spoken, earnest thanks, were all that passed .between them on these occasions. There was not a day in which this child failed to pass the window, not one day; let the sun shine or the rain fall, she came regularly, and never failed to receive her accustomed gift of flowers. Amy often mentioned this child in her evening conversation with Harry ; so that he came at last to make a point of asking each evening if she had been during the day to receive her flowers. " Doyou not know her name, Amy?" he asked thoughtfully, once. No, Amy did not. " It is odd but I never thought of asking her," she "said. "I suppose it is because there arc so many others who fome in the them to those of her husband, who had come out to the do0r. "0, Harry Harry!" she said, tre mulously. " Harry, hear her !" "My dear," he said, gently, "bring her in." And each holding a hand of the child, they led her into the sitting room. .. There, with the rapid te'ars render ing her wprds broken and painful, she told the simple .story that needed so little time to tell. It was her brother Charley, who had been ill for so long, and had died that morning;1 and she had come to let the lady who had been so kind to him know about it. "M-J child," said Hai'ry, gently, "Where do you live? We will go home with you." And soon the husband and wife were on their wav to the dwelling of the child. It was not far distant; they had only the length of a fe streets to walk, and in a Humble tenement, the home of respectable and honest pov erty, they found what they were seek ing. A plainly, poorly furnished, yet clean and tidy room, with a pale and sorrowing mother weeping for the trea sure she had lost ; and lying upon a narrow couch in the corner, that ere long he would exchange for one yet narrower, the rigid form of the young man the child's dead brother, the widow's only son. " The sheet, that covered him was fol ded aside, discovering a pale and was ted but beautiful and serene face, bear ing the traces of a long illness, patient ly borne; the heavy, geld-fringed lids were closed -calmly over the lull eyes the. fair hair smoothed away from the pleasant: brow thai seemed yet. to wear the smile it had known in life. It was already arranged for its last resting place. The thin white hands were crossed upon the breast, and one of them held a bunch of fading flowers Amy's flowers. Their perfume lin gered yet around the dead. He had died with them in his hand, with the request that they might go with him to his grave with the blessing of the dying breathing over the last of The Flowers ix the Window. An Illustrious Exile- AX AUSTRALIAN' -S'.CETCIT. A few years ago I made the acquain tance of --an elderly lady, w hose hus band, so far back as 1701), held an of ficial position, both civil and military, in the colony of New South Wales. Many anecdotes she told me of cele brated characters who had, in the words of one of them, "left their coun try for their country's good." With most, if not', with all of these ""celebri ties, the old lady had come in contact personally, j '. ''One morning," she began, "I was sitting in my drawing-room with my two little children, who are now middle-aged men with large families, when a gentleman was announced. I gave the order for his admission : and on his entering the door of the apartment I' rose -from my chair and greeted him with a bow which he returned in the most graceful and courtly manner im aginable. His dress was that of aman of fashion, and his bearing that of a person who had moved in the highest circles of society. A vessel had arriv ed from England a few days previous ly with passengers, and I fancied that this gentleman was one of them. I asked him to be seated. He took a chair, opposite to me, and at once en tered into conversation, making the first topic the extreme warmth of the day, and the second the healthful ap pearance of my charming children as he was pleased to speak ot ttiem. j part from a mother liking to hear her children praised, there was such a re finement in the stranger s,. manner, such a seeming sincerity instil he said, added to such a marvellous neatness same way, am 1 I of asking so many ers. These he admired, and began a discourse on floriculture. I listened with intense earnestness, so profound were his observations. We were stand ing at the table for at least eight or ten minutes: my boys hanging on to the skirt of my dress, and every now and then compelling me to beg of them to be silent. "One o'clock came, but not thema jor. I received, howeVer, a note from him, written in pencil on a slip of pa per. He would be detained at Govern ment House until half-past two. "Again I requested the fascinating stranger to partake of luncheon, which was now on the table in thenextroom; and again, with the same winning smile, he declined. As he Avas about, as I thought, to depart, I extended my hand, but, to my , astonishment, he stepped back, made a low bow, and declined taking-it. "For a gentleman to have his hand refused when he extends it to another, is embarrassing enough, butforalady ! Who can possibly describe what were my feelings ? Had he been the heir to the British throne, visiting that penal settlement in disguise, (and from the stranger s manners and conversation he might have been that illustrious personage,) he could scarcely have, under the circumstances, treated me in such an extraordinary manner. I scarcely knew what to think. Obser ving, as the stranger must have done, the blood rush to my cheeks, and be ing cognizant, evidently, of what was passing through my mind, bespoke as follows : " 'Ma dam, I am afraid you will nev er forgive me the liberty I have taken already. But the truth is, the passion suddenly stole over me, and I could riot resist the temptation of satisfying myself that the skill 'which made me so conspicuous in the mother country still remain tome in this convict land.' "I stared at him, but did not speak. " 'Madam,' he continued, 'the pen alty of sitting at table with you, or taking the hand you paid me the com pliment to proffer me yourself in ig norance of the fact I am about to dis closewould have been the forfeiture of my ticket-of-leave, a hundred lash es, and employment on the roads in irons. As it is, I dread the Major's wrath; but I cherish a hope that you will endeavor to appease it,, if your advocacy be only a return for the brief amusement I afforded your beautiful children.' " 'You are a convict?' I said, in dignantly, my hand on the bell-rope. " 'Madam,' he said, Avith an expres sion of countenance which moved me to . pity in spite, of my indignation, hear me lor one moment.. "'A convicted felon, how dare you nter my drawing room as a visitor ? I asked him, my anger , getting the better again of all my other teelings. "'The maior madam,' said the i , i stranger' 'requested me to De at ins louse at the hour when I presented my self : and he bade me wait if he .were from home when I called.

That muck I felt-the Major Avould for give me ; and, therefore, I requested the orderly to announce a gentleman. Indeed, madam, I shall make the for giveness for the liberties I have taken fn this room the condition of giving that information which- shall restore to the Marchioness the gem of which I deprived her a gem which is still of expressjon, that I could not help thinking he would torm a very valua- should never think ! ble acquisition to our list of acquam tlioiV T.imfs von i tances. provided he intended remain knoAV.

" 4 Barrington, the pickpocket J' Having heard so much of this nxanj and of his exploits, (although, of course I had never seen him) I could hot help regarding him with curiosity ; so much so, that I could scarcely be., angry with him any longer. "'Madam,' he continued, I have told you that I longed to satisfy my self whether that skill which render4 cd me so illustrious in Europe still re mained to me in this country, after five years of desuetude. I can con scientiously say that I am just as per fect in the art, that the touch is just as soft, 'and the nerve as steady as when I sat in the dress-circle of the Drury-Lane or Covent Garden. s UI do not comprehend . you, Mr. Barrington,' I replied. (I could not help saying mister.) i "'But you will, madam, in one mo ment. Where are your keys ?' " I felt in my pocket, in which -1 fancied they Avcre, and they Avere gone. ' And your thimble arid pencil-case, and your smelling-salts ? . They are here. (He drew. them from his coat pocket.) - S " My anger was again aroused. It was indeed, I thought, a frightful libi erty for a convict to practice his skill upon me, and put his hand into the pocket of my dress. But, before I could request him to leave the room and the house, he spoke again; and1 as soon as I heard his voice and look ed in his face, I Aas mollified, and against my will, as it were, obliged to listen' to him. ' "'Ah, madam, he sighed, 'such is the change that often comes over the affairs of men ! There' was a time Avhen ladies boasted of having been robbed by Barrington. Many Avhom I never robbed gave it out that I had "done so: simply that they might be talked about. Alas ! such is the weak ness of poor human nature that some people care not by what meatus they associate their names Avith the name of any celebrity. I was in' power then, not in bondage. 'Barrington has my diamond ear-rings!' once ex claimed the old Countess of Kettle- bank, clasping her hands. Her lady ship's statements were not true. Her diamonds Avere paste and she knew it, and I caused them to be returned to her. Had you not a .pair of very small pearl drops in your cars this morning, madam?' "I placed my hands to my carsj and discovered that the drops were gone. Again my anger returned, and I said, 'How dare you, sir, to place your hands on my face?' " 'Upon my sacred word and honor, madam,' he replied, placing his hand OA'er his left breast, and bowing, .'I did nothing of the kind! The ear is 'the most sensitive part of the human body to the touch of another person. Had I touched your ear my hope of having these drops m my waistcoat nocket Avould have been gone. It was the sprsngs only that I touched, and the drops fell into my left hand.' He placed the ear-rings on the table, and made another Ioav bow. . " And when did you deprive va.Qx of them ?' I asked him. " When I-was discoursing on floricul ture, you had occasion several time3 to incline your head towards your charming children and gently reprove them for interrupting me. It was on one of those occasions -that the deed Avas quickly done. The dear children Avere the unconscious confederates in my crime -if crime you still consider it since I told you, and I spoke the truth, that it Avas not for the sake of gain, but simply to satisfy a passionate curiosity. It Avas as delicate and dim cult an operation as ever I performed in the whole course of my profession al career. "There was peculiar quaintness and humor and of action thrown into this speech ; I could not help' laugh ing. But, to my great satisfaction, the illustrious pickpocket did, not join in the laugh. He regarded me with a look of extreme humility, and main tained a respectful silence, which Avas shortly broken by a loud knocking a the outer door. It was the Major, Avho, suddenly remembering his ap pointment with Barrington, had con trived to make his escape from Gov eminent House, in order to keep it.: The Major seemed rather surprised, to fand Barrington m mv drawing-room; but he Avas in such a hurry, and so anxious, that he said nothing on the subject. "I withdrew to the passage, Avhcnce I could overhear all that took place. " -Now, look here, Barrington, said my husband, impetuously, 'lAvillhave no more nonsense. As for a free par don, or even a conditional pardon at present, it is out ot tnc ques- five thousand a year, you ATouUnever be able to keep those fingers jvours quiet. . - 4-. " 'Well, I think you are riglf , Ma jor,' said the illustrious personsie. 1 " 'Then you will write that ler at once r " 'I will. But on one conditip,' ' 'Another condition.' V'ii. ' "'Yes.' -j . ' ' -'. " 'Well, what is that conditio ? You have so many conditions that Ji.begin to think the necklace will not bSli forth coming after all.

"As soon as I had made my pear ance, Barrington stated the ca(!fi all that had transpired with niin te ac curacy; nay, more, heactcd th( entire scene in such a Avay that it be ame a little comedy in- itself; the schaa$ters being himself, myself, and the child ren", all of which characters hrepre sented with such humor, that nj y hus band and myself were several V&ies in fits of laughter.

"This play over, my. husbah;4 .again put to Barrington the question- 'Will you write that'letter,at once ?
