TIM WORKS WONDERS. It was one of the bitterest of all December's bleak and bitter days. . The white fingers of the driving snov? were tapping sharp and-furiods ly at the crystal surface of the plate glass windows; the wind shrieked piteously through the keen and pier cing air ; and the thermometer in the hall was rapidly lowering its crimson vein ?towards zero. " It's dreadful cold!" mused Mrs. Angel!, as she sat wirti .one s'ipperel foot on the fender, and her finger or-" namented wjth two emerald ringi:, a diamond, and a gaudy, " regarding between the leaves of her book." " I'm glad I am not compelled to be out of doors on such a.'day." And she looked complacently aron td at the elegantly furnished little bou doir where 6ha sat. A handsome oc tagonal room, it? sides panneled in pjnk velvet and gold, with a heavy tracery of gold vine leaves around the ceiling by way of cornice, it had all the charms of novelty. The fire heaped high with coal kept up a low cracking sound ; the scarlet winged lory .swung to and fro tn the ring ol his-cage ; between the curtatirs. an asthmatic little poodle nodded sleepi ly on the hearth rug. Mrs. Angeli herself was a plump, pretty brunette of about thirty, with hard brilliant eyes; hair brushed in the fashionable style, away from a square, low forehead ; a-ud lips that, although rather thin, ?ere* of the brightest vermillion. lier dress was an elegant negligee; and her hands -sere miniature .jewel stands for the displav of expensive rings. "Mama!" .She looked up quickly and held out her arms as a rosy girl of about nine, the fae simile on a small scale, of herself, came bounding into the room. " What is it, Nina, mama's little pet?" " It's Misa: Hmef, mama. She says, could she eoe.* you a moment ?" " It is ten o'clock, my child, your lessons should have begun .loaf* ago."' " But Miss Elmer Ina .jnst come, mama." The handsome olive brow contract ed ominously. '"EellMiss ?lmer that I will see her.'* Little Nina tripped away to deliver har message. A minute" afterwards there was a low tap at the door, and Juliet' Elmer, the daily governess, entered. She was a tall, gracefully formed girl, apparently about twenty-two or three years of ace, dressed in black that had evidently bidden adieu fo its best day? some time since. Gen erally she might have been rather pale, but there wau a tU?p, vivid car mine spot on either cheek ju-t now, that told of the recent, agitation al exei temen t.. I?-r eyes were of the' deepest hazel, large and liquid, and her hair waa of a warm sunshiny brown. 3\ii it waa ber meru th; red and sensitive and mobile that consti tuted ?icr best feature ; every emotiou that stirred the -surface ot her mind seemed mirrored in the -unconscious movement of ber Jip. " I ara surprised, Miss J?raer,^ be gan Mrs. Angeli, after she had recog nized the governess' presence by n stiff inclination ol' the nead, " Nine is your hour, andr here it is after ten, and not & lesson commenced. Nina, call your little brothers and sisters immediately, und tell them to proceed to the schoolroom, sufficient time has already been lost." She opened the book once more, as if to' dismiss tho subject and the gov erness together j but Miss Elmer still stood b'y?the door, nervously playing witk the shabby strings of. her crape bonnet. N-Mn. Angeli," she said in a low, hurried ton? of voice, " I am afraid you must excuse me for to-dav-" "Indeed, Miss Elmer, I-ithall do no such thing,""sharply interrupted ' Mira. Angeli, " If you wish to be re lieved from the duties of your situa tion, I beg voa will say so at-once." "^do-not, mail am; J do not, in deed,*' faltered Juried, growing scar let in hep embarrassment and morti fication. " We could not live without the money yon are so good as to ci ve ; hail should esteem it a gr?ai fayer io Jae excused .to-day, for my mother is very much worse, and I ha ^one to leave with "herl" . "I a??*suTprise?i that you i ask me such a question, Miss ? said Mrs. Angeli, drawing hersi " Of course I am very sorry fe worthy person, your mother; am not in any way responsible f illness, nor do I see why it shot convenience me or interfere, wi childr?n s lessons. They lost days last week for the .same r and at -their 'ag? every lessor importance. IV is q?iN* ont euestion, Miss Elmer-quite the question I*assure you." Juliet stood pale and irr?solu " But mother is dangerous] madam." Mrs. Angeli turned a new-p , her book, and went on reading i face of placid interest. Juliet c step or two nearer. " Mrs. Angeli, I must go t mother.". " Just as yon please, Miss E only of course you understate if you go you forfeit" your qua salary. I dare say I can obtain j of governesses without mother; t%ke up half, their tim e. -The Dkod'ru8?e?' in a hot t: Juliet Elmer's brow at this stab. " Mrs. Angeli," she pleaded, a deep drawn sigh-" Mrs. Ang , . But the lady held.up her je) hand deprecatingly. " I must beg th.it there be ai to this altercation, Miss Elmer, said coldly. " You know how nei I am, and that scene is beyond e thing, my aversion. Go, or sta you please-you understand'my lution on the subject. Juliet was silent. For an in she was half resolved to rush the house, never again to set ey this hard-hearted, elegantly at tyrant. But then she remembered thee ter which expired that very v thought of the many comforts necessities that the money was to chase for her consumptive moth the rent that must be. paid-the tie debts that" were daily acenn ting around their poverty stri< home, and Juliet Elmer felt that was as completely in Mrs. Ang .power as if she had been boun chains at the handsome brunette's: She threw up her h'nds wi deprecating gesture, and then face settled into white, u'ncomplati pallor. " Oh, Mrs. Angeli, you are -\ cruel to me ; but God is over us J That was all she said as she v slowly away towards the schoolrc with the strange mechanical mo of one walking in her sleep. How long that short December seemed!- How slowly the tiny ha of the schoolroom clock moved e their dial!" Juliet could almost h declared that they stood absolu still. ' . . " "Are you ill, Miss Elmer?" qi tioned little Nina Angeli, looking as the governess stooped over French exercise book, "your'ha are so hot," "111? yes; I am heart sick!' - i Juliet, almost involuntarily ; then collecting herself, she pressed her to the child's fresh cheek, murrum ." dear little Nina, may this trial n er eome to you." Nina returned the kiss with wt childlike affection. She was fone the pale, gentle governess, who \ so different from her brilliant mai ' .It was quite dark at five, the h at which Miss Elmer wr~ relea from her schoolroom bondage ; ? her hand trembled with nervous f tstiou as she hui ried!y assumed shabby outer garments. Nor was weather out ol' doors at.all reassnr to her state of muid. The snow 1 turned to a dull,- driving sleet, 1 pavements were as slippery as*gla and the keen wind penetrated 1 thin wrapping with its first bin But Juliet was in too great haste ev tu think of. hev3elf as she sped hi ried ly a'ong, shrinking from eve passer in the street." j But as she cameoppositea brillia gas light, however, the roll of mu slipped from her hand.

" yY?v shouldn't; it be possible,. J liet? -My dear, little fiend who < eartli would have thought of meetii you in the streets- this dismal eye ing? Where did you come fron 'and where are you going?" For' A n instant, Juliet had bee back, in the bright scenes of two yea ago; this question brought her ini the forlorn present. Things ha changed, sadly changed since tl people were wont to laugh at th pretty prosperous belle and abot Paul Clay's manifest admiration. Tl two years that he had spent arnon the palm groves and minarets o? Asi and Arabia b'a4-"changed the ric! merchant's daughter into a fatherles orpjiau, who earned her daily brea by going out as a "daily governess ! She told Paul these things wit quiet dignity, as he walked by he side, tarrying the little roll of musi as deferentially as if it' had bee Quesn Victoria's sceptre. How sh longed for a little iflpre light to se in his face as she spoke! " Why did I not know this? WS; did you not write to-me?" he asked in a husky tone of voice.. "We diel not know where. yoi were,'' she said Simply, " and be sides-" "Besides" what?" . .' I had no right to ask your aid o sympathy." " Juliet, you know better," he'ex claimed passionately. " Jujiet, if J had-" She put her hand gently to his arm "We live here. Will you come up?" He followed her silently up the dark and narrow stairway, with his "strong heart beating like a drum with in his bosom. She Btopped on the third floor. . - "Juliet, have you come to this?'' She opened the door, and motioned him iu without replying. " Mother-dearest mother !" There was no voice nor sign of re cognition from the quiet figurestretch ed on tholittle bed. Juliet hurriedly lighted the candle with fingers that trembled, she knew not"why? 'latina same instant Paul Clay sprang for ward, as if to intercept her sight. " Juliet-my poor Juliet !" And she kfl?w that tjie quiet re pose of the marble i'rioe was Dui the majestic seal ot death. No more penury, no more pain or grief for the pilgrim who had reached the gates of ! t|i? ^Sternal City. - In the stormy tu> mult q{ the tempestuous December day she Bad. disd there ali alone.

Juliet seemed scarcely to hear bira, indeed- she appeared .quite uncon scious of his presence, -even though '.?he could hot nave stood upright. with out assis'anc "Mother!" She moaned feebly, "mother,, and I was not beside you ! Oh that cruel, cruel woman ! If I live a-thousand years. I never, never will forgive her for what she has this night brought upon me !" And Juliet Elmer fainted in the strong arms that were as tender asa woman,." touch. -. . . *' - * * -. It was a brilliant March day j list ten years after the dreary night when Mrs. Elmer had died, and Juliet, was sitting-a fair, blooming matron-jn [.the. superbly,furnished dra'winfc room of her home in Belgravia, ' "with Wo or three golden haired children play ing around her feet. The eldest a lovely child of seven, leaning against her shoulder, with one hand playing -frith the diamond arrow that spark led-in ber darknesses, had blue wist ful eyes like Paul Clay's ; the others were like her-dark and rosy. " Mama, I don't wanta governess," pouted little Paul. " I had rather study with you." " But mama has no time to hear your jessons," said Juliet, smiling. " And Aurit Rosa thinks you will like this lady very much." " What is her name?" " I don't know ray dear boy ; she will be hexe in a minute." As sue spoke, the door was thrown open and Mrs. Clay rose with a gen- ? tie, reassuring smile tc greet: the ap plicant for the situation of governess, who advanced slowly in-^-a dark eyed, haggard woman, with hollow cheeks and a dress of worn'black silk. She started back as her eyes met Mrs. Clay's features. . Good heavens !' It is. Juliet El mer." And Juliet knew that she was standing face to face with the widow of John Angeli,, the bankrupt bro ker, whose suicide bad. been a nine, days wonder in the city, but a few j months since. The moment ion. Juliet's revenge had come. As she stood there look ing at the wan, haggard widow, the past seemed to rise up before her, as if it had been bu t yesterday-the tri-| ats and woes, the agony, that she had forgotten. Ah, times were far differ ent with her now. Mrs. Angeli cowed and shrank be fore Juliet'? clear, calm eyes as if she had erpe'eted ? scathing rebuke-a scornful dismissal. Butas Juliet saw Her white cheeks and worn features a heavenly pity came into her heart, soft as the flattering wings pf the! white dove, peace ; and -she felt no sensation but the mildest compassion towards the woman who had once trodden her heart in the dust. "Sit down," she said, gently draw ing forward a chair! " Jiou must be very weary." "You-y.'U will never engage wi? for your governess," faltered Mrs. Angeli, tasting ROW in all its bitter ness the cup she had once held re lentlessly to Juliet's lips, " W hy should I not ?"' asked Juliet calmly. The children are quite ready for their first lesson, Mrs. Angeli." And .?ha never alluded by w>rd or glance, then or at any other time, to ihe melancholy past. But when Mrs. Angeli took her leave that night she bent arid pressed her lips almost pas sion itely to Juliet's hand. If you had turned, me away, I mu^r have starved," she 'murmured incoherently. " But you have forgiven me.

'lI know jt, Paul; but here is another verse .that I wish you to learn to-night, and remember as long as you live."
