BY CHARLES DICKENS. When the lessons and tasks are all en ded, And the school for the day is dis missed, And the little ones gather around me, To bid me good night and he kissed Oh, the little white arms that encircle My neck in a tender embrace! Oh. the smiles that arehalos of heaven Shedding sunshine of love on nr lace! And when they are gone I sit dreaminj Of my childhood too lovely to last ; Of love that my heart will remember, When it wakes to the pulse of thepa^t ii,re tne woriu ana us wicKeuness maa< A partner of sorrow and bin, When the glory of God was about me, And the glory of gladness within. Oh, my heart grows weak as a woman's And the fountains of feeling will flow "When I think of the paths steep ant stony, Wli/iro Mid fpof nf flip dear nnoa mnc J go; Of the mountains of sin banging o'ei them, Of the tempest of Fate blowing wild Oh! there's nothing on earth half sc holy As the Innocent heart of a child! j They are idols of hearts and of house holds; L They are angels of God in disguise; His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses r His glory still gleams in their eyes : , Oh, those truants from home and frou J J\J<? Vgli| They have made me more manly auc mild! And I know how Jesus could liken The Kingdom of Uod to a child. I ask not a life for the dear ones, All radiant, as others have done, But tliat life may have just enougl shadow To temper the glare of the sun ; I woulu pray God to guard them fron evil, But my prayer would bound back t< myself; Ah 1 a seraph may pray for a sinner, But a sinner must pruy l'or himself. The twig Is so easily bended, 1 have banished the rule and the rod 1 have taught them the goodness o knowledge, They have taught me the goodness o ?. God; My heart is a dungeon of darkness, When I shut them from breaking i rule; My frown is sufficient correction ; My love is the law of the school. I shall leave the old house in the an tumn, To traverse it* thres hold no more; Ah ! how 1 shall sigh for the dear ones That meet me each morn at the door I shall miss the good nights and th< kisses, And the gush of their innocent glee The group on the green, and the llow ers , That are brouffhtevery morning to me I shall miss them at morn and at eve, Their song in the school and tbestree1 I shall miss the low hum of their voices And the tramp of tneir delicate feet When the lessons and are all ended, Alia uearn nays, "lue suuoox is uas [ missed!" May the little ones gather around me, To bid me good night and be kissed HUNTINJ AN UNCLE, OR HOW . WAS CAPTURED. I was sitting in my study, reading Aloliere, when sue etitcrea ine room? perfectly unannounced at that. I looked up, and saw an angel ir ; white Marseilles, flounced; jauntj blue hat, about the size of a naucer " tipped to one side in a most bewitch ing, heart-breaking manner; and sh< , wore cream-colored kids and carriet a while pongee?taken all in all, : fairy! She smiled at me, and held out hei t hand. I took it mechanically. What die this mean? t She pouted, ah I those cherry Hps she stamped her little jSo. 1 impa ticntly on the floor. 'You don't seem very glad to se< me,' she Raid, pettishly. I murmured that I was delighted? entranced. So I was?such visiom were not of every day occurrence t< rne. 'Well,' Paid she, gleefully, 'that'i comfort. Now, they told mo tha you would not receive me?that J would be tiffned out of doors.' > c?;,i t A-j naiu But I camo? and you aro no > angry?' . -Angry?' r I could say no more.' I Tlicn she walked up and down tlx room. 'How do you liko my dress? six asked, revolving before me as if on : ' pivot. i 1 murmured something a'uout an gelic enperbnees I "I rli,l i ?i t r>lwj ' ?Hl'd ll H1 r (lnnl)L fjingly, 'to got u drew of gray sattens ? with the underskirt cut as usual, ant trimmed with deep plating ? th< spaces to bo tilled with bias J'oldi above the platings, in a band of vol vet silk ?the Hide gores rounded uf tour inched longer, and looped up in i Ipanior. That, with a pretty litth ' HMcqtio with open sleeves, trimmed ti match the undor-dretw, would bo nice wouldn't it?' I murmured an unqualified assent not that I understood what she wai sulking about, for she uttered the ful ; deficription in one breath ; but tlun J did not know what she wan baying. 'But,' said she, 'I bought the Alar Rciiles because 1 liked it. Don't you ? 'I admire your taste,' I said faintly for I was fast losing my senses, thougl wondering as to who and what sh< was. 'You're a dear good fellow!' sai< I she, rapturously ; 'and I know We'l iget on famously togetherI' So phe intended to stay here I I wai getting into very deep water. 'Now then,' she continued, 'shov me somo place to put my things, am then you and I will have a talk.' I meehanically.pointed out a srnal room opening out of a library. Sh< hurried in. I sat like a staiue earvet from adamant. Deeper water. Presently she returned, divested o little hat, pongoe and kids. She cast a searching glance nrouni the library. 'Horrid dirty I' she said, di*daii: fully; 'when has it boon cleansed i About a year ago,' I said, meekly. Sho gave vent to a pretty little I scream. r 'A year? Shocking! Oh, I couldn't a sit down in a room that hasn't been 1< cleaned for a year. This must be put g to rights.' She said this in a very determined tone and then set to work. She con- e verted my linen coat into an apron, tied a cunning iittie handkurflhiof a ? over that pretty head, and snatching b up the fly-duster, dusted away valiant ly?raised a cloud of dust in which I ? sat gazing on the vision. What did ( this mean ? I consulted Moliere, my Blanding authority, but Molicro could r j give no explanation. Could she be an r angel sent to cast a ray of light over my dismal path of life ? Perhaps. But did angels wear whito Marseilles, c and talk about satteens and paniers? * Impossible! It must be a dream. | {She suddenly paused, and held out r her arms and said : t 'Roll up my sleeves, pi 'ase. I can r work better with them up r 1 I did roll the white sleeve up, and a . then immediately scouted the idea of ) its being a dream, Couldn't dream of such arms, with a dimple in each elbow. c Certainly not 1 They were real. I did not think that a sculptor would have been proud to have them for a ji ? model, because I was morally ccrtain that any sculptor would have been J distracted at the sight, and dropped 1 his chisel, despairing of ever doing I them justice. And then she dusted, and while she s dusted she sang. What a voice! Don't mention JSilsson?I won't hear of it. i And then she drew up a chair and sat down beside me, having first re x movid the handkerchief atid the 5 improvised apron. Then she shook * ) her curls and addressed me. i 'My dear uncle, let us have a talk.' 1 Her uncle! If my head had snd- r denly changed to a lump of lead, c it couldn't have sunk any quicker than 1 ; it did then. t f 'You know,' she continued, 'that 1 you wrote me a letter, saying that 1 you considered it best for me to 6tay a at the farm until you wroto ^gaiu. ? i But, then, I didn't want to stay; I t lelt so lonely away out thero, hardly 1 saw a new lace once a mouth for the 3 twelve years 1 have been there?for d . you know you left me there when I t was six years old. Well, I thought I 8 would come to the city, so I took the t I fifty dollars and bought this suit. S :; Mr*. Marsh picked it out for me. You > know she has been in tho city, 8u I c , camo; and you are not angry, a> e yon? s Because if you are, I'll go right back ? again, uncle?indeed 1 will.'. My feelings during this brief speech haa been very painful. I gradually r t awoke to the iact that it was all a j , blunder that the visit of this angel ( ' was not intended for me, and I felt , very bitter over tho discovery; but j mv rJiiftr won iilnin. i "V --"V I . I My dear child, said I. humbly, will ( you have the kindness to iuform me j, what your name is? ( She opened her eyes, and then laughed. 'Why/ sho said, 'sorely you cannot have forgotten me ? Little Besg, you J know Little Bess? I repeated. 'Bessie Ludlow,' sho said, gravely, 1 'your niece.' 1 xNTo, said I, sadly ; not my niece. I v have 110 niece. There has been some error?my name is Floyd. 'Then,' said .she, 'you arc my uncle ?Richard Floyd. I saw the name on the door, and I came in. Now you do remember me, don't you ?' Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Lud low. said I, calmly, but I am not your uncle. You saw the name of E. Floyd on the door; my name is Robert. 'Then,' said she, helplessly, 'where is my uncle?' I felt bound to confess my igno rance, whereas she sat looking in |credulous. I explained that, strange as it might seem, I did not know everybody personal!}-, who happened to rejoice in the same surname as myself. But, I said, cheerfully, seeing her look blank, we can find out. Here is a director}*. Now, your uncle's name Klovd ? 'Yes'"" Ilis occupation or profession ? 'Eh ?' 3 What does he do for a living? 'Nothing, He's rich?awful rich.' 3 Ah ! a gentleman ? Let us hope 1 tlu'V are. Now get ready, and we'll go and find your uncle. She stood by mj' side in the street, (and looked ten times more bewitching than ever. We walked along streets, and how male friends stated and I wondered and envied me. i We found the first Mr. Floyd just !stepping into his carriage, in front of hi* house. He was bit;, pompous and | vulvar. I tapped him on the shoulder. I Your niece, Mr. Floyd, I said, and I I t r\ ur|?r>n llfi f!lt ICUUIUICII MM'A IV me short. t 'Nothing of the kind?not my niece ? an adventuress, no doubt. You aro a swindler, I suppose. Drive on . 1 inwardly vowed to assassinate that man some duid' night. My com- * panion grrsped liOr pongee fiercely, r i 'Oli, I could beat him,' she said, ,v savagely. I trembled at his outburst. J I 'But however.' she said, laughingly, i'that is not my uncle. He's a very 1 quiet man. ^Ie only came to see me 1 jonce ?I aupposo because I am a poor i relation. Here she laughed, as if being a ' Ipoor relation was something funnj'? j which it is not. ; i I Then wo tried the second Mr !i : Floyd ; lie was the uncle. Wo found ] him reading a book of sermons. ' | I accosle I him, and introduced ni}'- \ jself and bis niece. Then 1 explained j ! everything, and turned t^ go. ! He stopped me, and inquired if I would do him a favor. I answered him that I would. . Then.' said lie calmly, take tin'sL young la<'y and put her in the cars. ' I desire her to return immediately to j ] G'idar Farm.' |; 'Uncle ?' said she. 'j 'Niece,' said he, 'do as I bid yoa. ! am your only friend. Don't make ne your enemy by foolishness. Stay Cedar Farm, and I am yonr frieud; eave Cedar Farm, and yon may re ;ret it. Go!' Wfl Wflnt.
