THE CHILDREN.
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!

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

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

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

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 '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

Here she laughed, as if being a '

j which it is not. ; i
I Then wo tried the second Mr !i

him reading a book of sermons. '

She sobbed. (Looked prettier than

'I can't go back,' flhe replied. 'They

'I doirt know,' said she, defiantly,
prettier still.) 'But I won't go back.
