Still she kept a brave heart, and believed they could and would be happy yet. - . There was a pause of a few moments which at last was broken by Fred, who said:? "Well, Nellie, I will try to be patient, but > don*t': think for a moment that I doubted your love. No, not for worlds would I do that, for it is the one bright star of my life, and this world would be dark indeed without my little Nellie to love me." Several years before my story opens, there lived on the banks of the Hudson a gentleman by the name of Harmon, a wealthy, retired merchant. His summers were spent at his country residence, where he could be free from the dust and turmoil of the city, and where his friends were entertained in true hospitality, for all knew they were sure of a hearty welcome from James Harmon. His wife, a lovely blonde, refine I and accomplished, had left her sunny Southern home, to share the one so lavishly fitted ui>, for her husband had spared no pains to have 'everything in a style that would satisfy even the most expensive taste. Wealth was displayed, m every p:irc 01 me nouse and surroundings. Happy indeed were they in their beautiful home, and when two years later, a little heir was bom to them, their hnppines3 scorned increased tenfold. Little Fred, as ho was called, was idoli/.etl and petto I ti? his heart's content; both father and mother never tired oi listening to his baby prattle. As time passed, ne grew to be a fine, bright boy, gaining the lore of al1 i?y the sweetness of his disposition and g- .tie ways; but ere he reached the age when he most needed a mother's loVe and protect she was taken from him, and ;it the age of nine years he was left motherless. Now it was that Fred was left wholly to the care of his kind mid devoted nurse, who seemed to think nothing too good for her little charge. Nothing of importance transpired during tho IVw succeeding years till, at the age of sixteen, Fred was sent off to college, his father meantime intending to travel in search of health and pleasure, and it was during a trip on one of our ocean steamers he chanced to meet with a Mrs. Travers, ;md it was the mistake of a lifetime when, six mouths later, he made her his wife. "Why he had been so fascinated with this woman ho could never tell; but too soon he found lie had been deceived, and saw her in her true light. "I have just received a telegram from uiy son, saying he will be here this evening." Mr. Harmon looked at his wife as he made the remark, expecting at least some sign lof ipleasure. She simply raised her eyes, and said :? "Ah, indeed!" "Yes, he will be here on the seven o'clock train. "Will you see that his room is made ready for him ? It is nearly two years since ?->"i ?_ i. T r rou WCUl W X iwu; vu OV.V my boy." "You can speak to Katie; she will put the room in order; it is not necessary for me to leave my book, is it?" Then, fearing she had said a little too iriuch, Mrs. Harmon rose from her seat, and said:? "Well, I gues3 I will go {and speak [to her myself." No sooner had she left the room than the whole expression of her face changed; her eyes Jflashed as she said, in a low tone: "Coming home, is he? Well, he won't find a very warm reception here, and his stay will bo short. I am the mistress of this house now, and he will find it out, 1 gues3. Becauso I married his father he HAA/lnU o CllTmfkSf* I fl.ni <"'01110 UCVNAXA WIVi v* - 0 c to have him here, spying on all that goe? on.

I'l get rid of hereon, and then I'll reign su pre me," A shrill whiutle, aid the cars were at the depot. With a beating heart and rpiek Btep, Fred Harmon hastc-i.e-1 to the home of his boyhood. Ho hesitated a moment before entering, and, loofcing if, at the window, ho eavrhis fathsr. Then it was that he realized he was to m/et his new pother for the first time- As he p:issed through the door, tlie first one he xnet was his or1.nurse, who, on seeing him, threw her arras around her "boy," as she still called him, although he was now most grown to manhood, and said: "Oh! it does my eld heart good to sco you once more!" He felt he was indeed welcome. His father, hearing voices, hastened into the hall, and, as he clasped the hand extended to him in both his ov.n, his voico trembled as he said, "Welcome home, my sou! glad to see you." Then, turning, ho added, "Fred, this is your mother; have you nc trord for her ?" For a moment Fred did nob speak; he was intent on studying the face before him; then ho approached her, and said:? "Mother, I am glad to meet you, and hope you are well." Soon supper was announced, and Katie had well remembered lKr boy's taste; he felt almost happy as he recognized hei ....... ? ... ^ - - kindness in all. around ; lie knew she had | thought of his comfort an 1 pleasure, as she | ; had oft on done when he was a buy.

Strange as it may seem, the onco devoted j love between father and son, had, through j ! the influence of an unprincipled, designing I ^ ' woman, been turned {to hate, and they now j, ! met as strangers. j I | Subsequent events show that in spite of j j j all the power-that 51 vs. Harmon exercised J over her husband, he still retained the old i nurse, Kutie, in his family, and no person i j could iniluenee him against her. Katie! ' was true to her charge, and never lost an ' ! opportunity to try to heal the wouud be-1 | tween father and son. ij Mrs. Harmon, suspecting th.it Katie had .! some influence, Ji.::d, fe iriiig she might undo ' i what she had already done, loft no stone j ' unturned, till at last, one day, upon her J 'husband's temporary vUit to the city, she ! discharged her. i ? j A few days later, .'Ir. Harmon returned I { and complained of n<>t rVciing well. Thej( j next morning fountl iir.n cwimieu 10 nisi I bed, and Juiuhr the c;.;. *-f a physician. A : : groat change seemed to Lave come over him, both in jjmind and body; lie seemed to ; shrink from his wife, and did not wish to ! have her around him. Calling his physi; cian to his bedside, lie asked him to go for Katie; he wished to speak to her; lie i knew his end w;is drawing near, and ho I must have s^uo one with him that he could trust. Receiving the summons, Katie hastened j j to the bedside < f her old master. What j : wis the subject <>t conversation between-J j them during t!ie two hours of her stay no one ever knew. Katie never saw her nias- 1 : ter again, for the next day she was called ] away to a distant city. ( After lingering a few days, Mr. Harmon j passed to his higher homo, and Mrs. liar- , mon found herself the sole heir to his im-1 < ' incuse fortune. On hearing of his father's death, a few 1 1 | weeks after it had occurred, Fred Harmon j i felt deeply his 'os>s, for he had never ceased \ , fnv/vt/1 ! f to love ami revere uwi, iiui ........ to be separated. On finding lion- the will j had been made, he felt hurt that he should 'i i have been entirely cut off, and sought t ' counsel from a lawyer, trusting something ' might he done. They informed him that1 * all attempts to recover anything from the ' r 1 estate would be useless. ^ 1 I : It was a great blow to Fred, for he had j hoped to be able to set up a little home of i' his own soon; but it seemed a3 if fate was I' against him. Still h-j kept on with a brave , heart, trusting a brighter d.iy would come !1 | yet. lie was favored in one way, at least,! for Nellie Armitagc was visiting friends in ' fitr en he had the pleasure of seeing ' her often, and he felt tlvit one, at least, was ^ praying for his success. She was a kind, gentle-hearted girl, yet j no one would think of calling her beauti- ^ , ful; still there was a look in her clear, s ! bright eyes that won the respect of all who J s knew her. From her childhood she had j * 1 always Leon kind to the poor, and many a [ little heart was made happy at Christmas j1 time by some gift from "Miss Nellie," as j ^ she wa3 universally called. * One day when looking from the window,,1 Nellie saw a child struggling through the y j storm, thinly clad, and with a pair of half jT worn shoes upon her little feet. She hast-1? ened to the door aud called the child; at | j first the little one seemed to shrink from1 her, hut Nellie soou made her feel that she jf ] had nothing to fear, and, taking her into |3 the house, gave her food, and money to buy 1 | shoes with. It was only a few days after, that, passing along the street, Nellie met;1 ' the same child. For a moment she felt ^ . i indignant, and was tempted to pass her by ' ! without a word, for she saw that the child i1 | had on the same old shoes; after a 1110\ incut's thought she called the child to her, ' i and asked her where the money was, and why she had not bought the shoes, After ' Eome persuasion the little girl owned that', | she had used the money to ouv food for her sick sister. At first, Nellie could not credit the story, ] ; l<ut at length agreed to tro homo with the I l ? i chiM, and then she found her story too i trie. An older sister lay upon a sick bed.1 Poor child!

Nfcllie left them for a few moments to j I procurc food and nourishment, then, hast- ' ( nm-r to f'.'f.o olTico of her lover, asked him1 ; to accompany her to tlie skk girl's room, j , ! Hastily putting on hat a.u<l coat, thpy soon , i reached the house. After talking a few t moments to the doctor, they soon found [ she only needed food an'J rest, and he left [ a prescription, promising to call the next I day, "While he was speaking;, the old wo}i man of whom the s; k yirl spots came in i to the room.

"Now I want you to go fa with inei" said x r If aire.

Mrs. Harris explained the circumstances, ^ but to 110 avail, Sii< then spoke her mind ^ freely, which proceeding resulted in an j ^ order from Mrs. Harmon tu leave tier house I 9 I H( und Dr. Harmon arose 'from his scat, as lie j ^ started for the door, wishing to end what , to him had been a very unpleasant interview. Mrs. Harris also arose, and, placing lier hand on his arm, said,? u: "Stop one moment.

Harmon. J HO.UK iDL'CATION. There is a popular fallacy that, without ^ the advantage of good schools, education cannot bo obtained. lJut let it be remem- '' bered that many great and ?ood men and women of the age were, and arc, almost wholly self-educated. Education, as we A understand the Very comprehensive term, is not merely the highest development of the intellectual faculties; an acquaintance with the arts and scienccs. "Train up u child in tho way he should go," is tlio divine injunction. Thy moral a3 well as the (( intellectual must be regarded. Impres- <r sien3 traced upon hearing and mind in IS childhood are rarely obliterated, but remain with us through life, strengthening ^ and deepening with our years; exerting ^ an evil or a salutary inlluence over all our A actions, llow important, therefore, that only the best of influences be brought lo bear upon the youthful mind. What has j the great ami good Watts expressed -with ?J regard to this same education of youth?? "Their future character as social and moral L beings will be greatly influenced by the A manner in which thoy aro taught from an 7 \\ early period to regulate their emotions, , by directing them to adequate and worthy <); objects, and controlling them by great prin- ^ ciples of wisdom and virtue." ^ Children naturally regard their parents ^ as their superiors, and readily accept and J imbibe tlieir views; and it would appear C that to them tho great Giver had entrusted *' the important responsibility of moulding tho useful'and susceptible mind. Parti\ \ ^ - - . *.(, ' -_f"*:'-j5^vv J tlarly is it the duty of mothers to attc-1 the moral and intellectual developme their children. It is to bo lament tat as a class they are not better fitted induct the education of their ownoffspriu 3 Stael said, "If you would ensure t] tppincss of France, instruct the mothe the French people." And the nob pression is alike applicable to our own n n. If we would but adopt such a p!a liat a glorious improvement there won ! in the affairs of our land; what diinin jn of vice!
