soft hair from her white forehead, and look

"Recause when- mamma went away from
the table you spoke cross, and said she was
always sick-and-she ias got a headache,"
aided the child earnestly, while the tears
trickled down -her 'cheeks. " 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. Hie felt isnstantly
that he-bad spoken blaislaly more than once
to the gentle being who land nevergiven him
an'unkind word. Seven years of his .wcd
de4 life had passed calsaly and fleetly. 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. To l' work through the
diy,to come home at night and spend the
dvaning houzrsl~ ie'ides.otahisxhadI
ijflint child, wvhose beautiful face: gleamed
hilista-osebud upon the white - pili'ow in her
Iitile wicker basket cradle, became tiresome
to hinip.. 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

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

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. 'And then
ie t-red op ana sawemaud she alled
lie l telit hereyes almow gtened
i.. i' kept telig.her-she. was any blessed
:othir, and I loved her better than any body
i the whole "vorld except My father; and
hen h'e told, me that I must love you dear
',for you were a kind . father to me and
erhips she wouldn't live long; and if they
id put her into the cold ground, I must make
on forget it by my goodness and affection;
Ut I never could forget it, could you father,
r they put my own sweet mother into the
old ground i"
This was too much; Charles Crosby
tarted from his chair, and placing Ellen on
low seat strode rapidly through the room.
'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. "He
was forgiven", she .was happy; in that mo
met-t old barriers were bsroken down, ol as
sdeintions -forgotten, and he sdlmly rp+
sdvle), withi the help of:God, to lie no more
ia latenfrm iomme ;'40 rememnber the vow's
he had.taken, .and become worthy of the
confidence reposed in him.
Lied eEllen danced arourd the room, toss
ing.her yellow curls and .lapping her hands
as she shouted, " oh ! I am so hapiy, 1m so
happy, mother'won't cry any more,"-then
under a childish yet holy impulse, she.knelt
feverently doivn and lisped th little' prage
she had repeated every night.sinceoshe was
about two years old:
God bless mj darling mother,
My darling father tod,
And may we love eaelr other,
As Christ's dear flock should do.

Charles Crosby.declined'the honor of being
made President- of the L. Club. He
never iet with his old companions again,
nor did he, from that tinie, quaff the soul
destroyer, "sparkling wine."
Little Ellen, is now large Ellen .but as
happy and bright and beautiful as. ever.
She will soon give her hand .to one worthy
of her;- atid she' remembers, as - if it were

T TMOMM An THE TEE iD.
BY J. T. 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; 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.'
The figure a iich bestrod*,his noble ani

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. Washington send up'
a fervent, earnest prayer t6 'the' God of
