" I have been sitting beside her all the afternoon, and rub. binig her forehead ; and she is siek and tired very often, and you never tell her you are sorry, nor kiss her as you do me." *Charles Cgosby drew his little girl closer to his bosom: 1 Her artless wvords had falleni like fire upon~iis hecart.

Do iag young and a most impulsive crea'ure when lie married, lie could hardly appreciate the'deep, hsolykwye. wvhichs his sweet bride treasured for hi m ad him only. After the1 roimance of the "affair, as it seemed to hiat, liad settled into. a quiet, perhaps, monoto nous reality, his restless spirii yearned for somne fresh novelty.

He wished his Ellen land more vi vacity; more brilliancy, forgetti'ng that these might accompany at variableniess of temper samnt that would-truly have mgde his home inhappy.. Ellen was a most excellent wife; her's was that inward purity which starmps upon .the features a lovelirfess fileyotid.mere beauty ; nobody hesitated to call her handsome;. her ways were winning, her ferns slightly -and fagile; -withal shte had so' much prudence and was so good a manager, that from the time or his. marriage, Charles Crosby had been acrnulating 'riches. But she needed affection and mpch'care; she wvas delicate, and' so sensitie.thta word of reproach from one she et2iie'd voidld cause alnost a serions illness. Thie langage of her full bluesyes, -as thaeygwere sometimes fixed up on 'the ableiface'ef hir~hiiband was, love me; oh ! how I 'ein for :,our. full, unre straidd love! then ~hiy[ woul-fall. to the Vfloeerwhile the conidioliiness :that, he- was not towards her in tanner s hle had oned been, and oh, she feared, not-in heart-would send an icy thrilthroogh every .fbre-of- hier frame. Of late, Charles, erosby had rfsh Eiecdoe an alien to his -home, until the mid Snighkt~hour; he had found, as 'he- thought, choice. and congerial spirit$, and with them,, "tlepiritieof wo," that i" "thel spirit of 'wine.? BTt- alas! his fine rnauners -were -disaggpearing; his home was not 'an .earth~y gradise to him now-he had groivn v~ry cold-ndsworldly; dYnuesth knew not the ex 4ofherebangeinnh..imself. arl hi ovely ehikd;: and call si huies of. fsigy,"-nd e~,a~ts~arblesof a o -car add teaching, her powerful mind might have -too - swiftly expanded, and. ripened quicker. han the growth of thii world will allow, unless the rare exotic is to be trans planted into-heaven. Charles Crosby sat with his cheek resting upon little Ellen's head; the dear child once or twice unconsciously sighed, andthese sigls vere arrows to the- wounded spirit of the father. " Darling, you slienk strangely;" he said after a long pause, during which conscience, had been busy; " father. hat- great deal of hard work to do, and comes home tired and perhaps a little fretful.sometimes but then - lie-he does-love your mother," he said slowly and wondering what become of the glowing delight he had once felt at !!m mere mnentitr 6f her name. " O you, do you reill' love h'er t;en T" aske the child. sitting upright on his -. and-fi.sing her full. beautfiful.O p l, "how strange; I thefrla-., 'y what mamma said 16+ ..- aher almost." - - wu ma n;d " -.xcinlimed her ather liasily, whmile a feeling of anger sniot through his heart the. sudden surmise that his wife had been striving to alienate.the child's affections from him "what did main ma say, Ellen I" he demanded sternly. "Don't look so hard at me, father," she replied, pressing her snowy hands over his eyes, "mamma didn't-tell me, but she told God." .More' and more astonished, Charles gazed upon the child without speaking, and after a moment's pause, she continued, " Iwent in to mamma's room this afternoon, before -1. knew she was sick, but I heard her- talking, so I went on-. tiptoe. She 'was - kneeling down by the bed and prayin) to our Father in Heaven; and she cried and sobbed as I do sometimes when I am naughty, but I knew she was never naughty, good, dear minamma, was she never naughty, papa I"-she sked artlessly, and waiting for a repoly. "She never was-to you or me:" answer rd the latlier, choking down his emotion. * Well, then I heard her pray; I knew die wouldn't care if I did;because she takes ne with her sometinies; and she asked the lear God if hie' would make 'her husband nve her; and said- that he *ent away from is hoie and liked other-people bettei:'nd the said her heart - was breaking; too-; and >hb! she cried -s bad;"-continued the child, ;iving.such a mtlrnful emphasis to the last wo words that the father'alip. trembled and he tears came iito hiseyes.

'he tears were raining (town his face, but le kept them hidden from the little one, who at ,imidly still on her cricket, almost afraid o move for fear she had angered her father. Cot so. A flood of the old tenderness had ushed back upon his heart; instead of the lemure and gentle Alice, his memory pie ured an angel of wvhom lie had been all un vorthy; a pure, radiant spirit, who had sat y her household hearth in loneliness and adness; with a slowly, surely breaking eart-a heart-yearning anid dying for love; mtappreciated, lightly esteemed, seldom ad Iressed in the language of affection, arid -et returning smiles for cold looks; never :omplaining. Oh ! land such an one blessed is dwellinag and he had not dreamed hiowv ricless a treasure he possessedi Bitter ras his self-accusation, hot and copious his ars. Suddenly lie paused before her per rait, the young wife in the robes of the bri la seemed so joyous, yet subdued ; just as erfectly happy as she had appfared on the lay-he1id1lirall'erhid own.- Now, mtly one thought echoed . and re-echoed brough his brain. " Should she die-oh! - ~hould she die." - For sometime lie stood transfixed, striving 0 -check the burstinig sob that was almost tifling him, when he felt a slight pull at his ~oat by Ellen, wvith her pretty lips half part ~d. " Papa" she- half whispered, "mayn't Igo up'stairs and tell manmma you do-love er dearly I" lIe caught her to his breast andl clasped ier with the wvarmth of his newv lovo close in his arm ;' ho kissed her again and again, blessinig his Maker that " out of the- mouths f babes anid sucklings he laos -ordairied praise:'' then releasing the delighted child lie said; "yes, darling, you may if you wish o." The child leow up-stairs, while her father rollowved more slowvly, "mamma," .she' screamed, bounding- into the room, "you won't dry .any more, nor have a headache cow, father says lie loves you dearly, my wn dear mamma." The poor-woman. sprang to her feet; she ould not cornprehend~ the- scene ; she wvas bewildered; her pale cheeks flushed and. grew pallid~ by. turns: She -looked first at ler -husband, and then at little Ellen, who la expected her mother to'laugh out-right, and appeared as gleeful as she; little inno ect being.-- . -- M Alle,"- said- her- husband in faltertig tones "our -child is our poacemaker; she has made me a-better-inan ;-L ldo love'yoit Alice, will you- forgive 'me for my coldness and neglect I" -- - With a- low, thrilling' cry of delijght 'the wife. fell within her husband's -arms.

HEADLEY. It was morning-a bright cool, glorious morning.in autumn-after the terrible battle of Brandywine, and the. greatful beams of the:sun were gliding the- tops of-the tre s which formed the great 'forest lying witbiiV sight of .tle American- encampment below Princeton. The' disastrous risult of the memorable codiek had well nigh crushed the hopes of t1ii'bravest. colonists, and the rommander-in*chief himself was dispirited and Ieart-siricken. Nundreds of his brave companions inr rms had- bitted '11 6dust iii -that- illfated rray; many .of the bet cmr .'bgim vtd ;A wh nbris ihga)bg e~~~e as 1s4^eeeiift ecrcel a. decent tent Was left uitIdthe rray; tile ground was frozn"and ind ed, tad as the men were forced over' it, their are feet were 'exposed, and many a: rueful ash had caused a bloody foot' print to be. eft behind them. - - . . But on that lovely 'and bight morning, viti the edge of- that broad. forest, there sat an aged royalist, whose sympathies had atterly inclined towards the American in. :erests, but whose personal weal- had until low induced him to pursue. an inactivity, a ieutrality between the two parties. Aid Fet this man had a son in Washington's amp a mere boy in years, who 'had taken is musket and joined the American forces tome months previously. The father had earned of the defeat of the colonial army, ie knew they had been foreed to retreat, ad lie canme to the neighborhomod of the' irmy, which had halted an hour or two, to earn if possib~le the fate of 'his boy. He dare not-approach too -abruptly,.and mavinug reached thme deep wood ast last which ay between him and the distant cap lie' nounted a knoll, from the sumnilt of which ie had a viewv of the vanquished, hut still etermined band, who had comported themn telves so valiantly, but a little time pro. riously, but who were now hastening 'to Lvards Princeton. The father's heart throb ed audibly, as he gazed beyond' him at the remains of 'the gallant army,.and questioned if his child w'as there, or whether fate might ave numbered his b~ody among the three iundred nioble spirits who had been sacri iced but a fewv hours before on thme field of battle. And as ho strained Ihis 'aged sight ar down'u toward the camp, a white horse mddnlyseamie in view, and apiiroached at Length toward-lhe forest.'

He was at the verge -of the forest, and turning his steed aside, he so ured thme animal to a tree, and disappeared witin the confines of the wood. - Who could it be, and wvhat was his pur. pose'-at this hour alone . in that dark -forest!? The man turned slowly about, and' 'le re joiced that the intruder did not observe him for be could not satisfy his curiosity. The stalwart form, the proud step, the manly - face, the sohemn. movement of the stranger greatly interested thewatchser, who' saw that a deep burthen weighed -upon' his heart, and as heo looked again he saw hv noble form betid low, and~ on his'knee the old mani heard George.
