All ber hopes and iuterests in life left "ber and all day long the lay topon the sofa 'Y or tat in a dep lounging chair in her darkened chaiube vfcaicaly ei ting fo d enough to sustain life, refusing to see any friend except her own family, and renting all entreaties to go out for a breath of ir.

Hut I cau't go myself; don't teaee me, Sue." - Poor Sue stood still, ber brLht eyes full of tears, looking at her cister for a little while. Then sh? turned alru'ptly and left the room without another word. And sbo drove her pretty ponies straight to the house of a dear old'' Quaker friend in two senses into whose pres ence she carried her petition, "Aunt Ilachsl, do please go and see Helen !" she 'egged.

"The scrvauts, will not want to admit you, but don't be denied," taid Sne as Aunt Rachel got out.

"Mrs. Livingstone does not see vist tors," exclaimed the waiter. "She will pee me.

"I have come to see thee, Helen, the said, softly. "Bnt I cannot say do see thee thy chamber is too dark dear." - She walked at once to the windoT, and drew aside iho beavy curtains; let ting in a flood of golden sunlight. ''Oh, the light," moaned Helen, turn ing away her head. "We cannot live without the light, my dear," said Aunt Rachel, returning to a seat close beside Helen.. "Now Helen," she! said, gently, "I am older than thee, and I've beeu through the deep waters of tribulation. Tell me a! thy troubles, and I will help thee if can." .' .' The gentle words and tones went to l. Helen's Wart, and she burt into a tor rent of s'icb tean as she had not shed before since her bereavement. Two or . three boora Aunt Rachel staid, and continued her tender minis trations, and when 'she left she bad wdn from - Helen a promise that she wouIJ no longer.; nurse her 'sorrow in selfish loneliness, but "go ahout in the world and endeavor do the duties btill " "If tnTe tries io"do right, tnee fffiudT there is some happiness left yet," said gentle Aunt Rachel. And thought Helen did not quite be'ieve that she could ever be happy, she knew her wealth afforded her large means of do ing good and for that she would try to lite. A few months later the winter snow had covered E Idie and his father with aribe of spotless white, and it was near th(i happy Christmas-tide. More than one humble home in the groat city had been brightened by Hel ens generous Christmas gifts, and she be; 'an to take some pleasure' in these pleasant cut ies.' " i The day before Christmas she had word of an anged and bedridden relative across the river, on the Jersey side, and she :lat oncejwent over to see her. Ah she stepped upon the ferry boat to return she found it very crowded and with difficulty gat a seat next to p!ain, neat country woman who had with btra little fellow of five or six years, and Helen's heirt thrilled as she looked at the little-face with its bright blue eyes and golden hair, for it bore quite a re- serablence to the dear face of her lost Eddie.' She could nit help speaking to the child, and trying to win it to her, and presently she had him upon b3r knee. Wlif id vrinr Ittfla Knv nnmA she said, addresMog the woman. "KdJia Hamilton," said the stranger, with a tih, and Heltpsi: hears1 thrilled again at the familiar name. 'But he's not my child, Le's an oi- an," continued the woman. "Ah 1" commented Helm, interested at ont-e. "No ma'am, he's not mine. His moth er was a widew, and came to Brookville, where I live, a year ago next March. She was very poor, and she had a little house right next to us, and tried to make er-living with ber needle. But she made her death, ma'am, that's what she made and we couldn't bear to see the ittle chap suffer, and him not a friend in the world, as we k 00 wed of, so we took him, me and.my John, and we've kept im ever since.'' ' "We can't ma'am. We're poor, hard working folks, and we've got five chil dren of our own. John had a bad ful last week he can get about the house, but the doctors say he won't be able to work a lick this r. inter. It don't stand to reason that we could keep an ex'ra one. and be just to the rest, does it, ma' am ' ?" "No, indeed," returned Helen, polite- y r "That's what's taking me to the city to-day." returned the woman. "We hated to do it, me and John did, awful bad, but we didn't see no other way to do, so I'm a taking him to the Orphan Asylum. Do you think they'll be good to him, ma'am?" A thought . whiuh had struggled in Helen's heart for the last few minutes, found expression now. "I don't know,'' she said, eagerly, 'but I do know some one who would ! You say you are poor I am rich, and I am widowed and childless. I have late ly lost my husband and my little Eddie, anm I am alone and lonely. Give mc your little Eddie, and I will tove him nnd be good to him, and bring him up as iny own child !" "Are you in'earnest, ma'am ?' asked the countrywoman. "Indeed I am! He looks lue my lost Eddie that h what firt made me no tice him and it seems to me as if Heav en bad sent him to me. He is my Christ mas present. Ob, do let me have him f' can't say no, ma'am. I am sure he will have a happy home with you," re plied the woman. "Go with me and see? cried Helen "Your John would approve, I am sure, Please tellme yo4r name." , "Reynolds is my name." "Mine is Livingstone. Now, Mrs. Reynolds you shall go home with me lt is not near the distance it is out to TRUTH CAETHiGE.-HOEiH.GJ the Orphan Asylum, and you t-hall see what I will do for little Eddie. Oh, 4 am so happy to have bun l" And as Helen hugged the child to" her silken bosom, she did, indeed, feel that he was, in some measure, ber lost Eddie restored, i So when WrsT L'vingstone's elegant carriage met her on the city side of the ferry, she took Mrs. Reynolds and little Eddie to her handsome home.. And over a dainty Sinner, whicKIIelrn -or-Wol they made all arrangements . ard plans or little dd:e's transfer to bis new home. !
