From beneath her hat a few curls of brown hair sepined trying to escape, while hcr soft hazel eyes were lit up by sympathy with the sacred words of the psalm, with a most spiritual expression. Medway gazed at lier from time to time, as the service pro ceedud, with growing admiration. He was made conscious at last that he was almost rude, by detecting a blush on her cheek once, as hcr eyes met his for a moment ; but he could not forbear. Durmg the re maining exercises of the. morning, he was but partially attentive. Yet the -appear- mice of tho venerable pastor interested tim , while the discourse wa3 marked by a depth of thought which Medwahad not expec ted to find. I During the evening service that same voice again charmed Medway, while the faco appeared still more lovely, fn the in tcrmuoion ho had learned that the sweet singer was the daughter of the minister of the village, and this helped to surround her still more with that veil of sanctity where in lie had enwrapped ilio vo.ee and face in the morning.

Near ihe close of the succeeding day, he walked to a mountain in the neighborhood, noted for the view from its summit.
