Tho timid hand stretcded forth to aid A brother in his need; That kindly word in griefs dark hour That proves the friend indeed; Thc plea of mercy softly broathed When justico threatens nigh ; * The sorrow of a cntritc heart,- . . These things shall novcr die.

Tb? cruel and tho bitter word That wounded as it foll, Tho chilling want of sympathy, Wc feel but never tell. Thc hard repulse that chills thc heart, Whoso hopes wcro bounding high, In an unfading record kept, These things shall novcr dio.

"She cried when sin; kissed me," ho whis nered, wiping the tear from bis hand. .. 1 don't sec what malera berso tender hearted ibo never took il norn me. But she may have taken it ftv?.s-" The old man stopped, and a cloud camt ,wr bia wrinkled brow, for there was ?1 ,.>ang in bis heart. He remembered the gril le, uncomplaining being who had once been iii-, companion, the mother of bis child. lie remembered how she became bis wife, even when the bloom of manhood bad p issed from him, and cared for bim, and bow .-lie laug!)! lier child to love and cure for him, too. And i c remember, d b.-r^v she bad never complain nd, even while au dering, and bow she had died, wj ill a .^n-.i'c anda blessing upon bei lips, though the gold of her husband brough 1 her no comforts. Noah Sreman bowed bis frosted bead more low, und in bis heart bc wished Jje could for get all but the few fleeting joys ot his wife. But be C:jii!d not forget. Ile could not Corgi ! that it bad boen whispered how bis wife migln .ave lived longer, had she bad proper ?loth i; g and medica! attention. "Bur it would have ce..<. so much ; I raved money?" Ah, ibo reflection would not remove thc rang. 'J'l.e other memory was uppermost. Noah Brent an bad passed the allotted age ?f men, I cing over thrco score and ten, and all bis life had been devoted lo thc accumula lion ol moppy, lie had denied himself every comfort, and hu bear! bsd been almost as hard as ibo gold l-o hoarded, hue ia b's bair gi'itr motz wLite and spar, e, and the yara came more heavily upon him, be thought more; reflected more. The sweet smile ol his wife was di ing its mission r.Ow j a .d the ? ure love of bis gentle child was a continual remembrance lo bim that lhere were better hearts th?z hU own. At length tho miser ares.-?, and parsed out ol the room. Ile would have left thc but; bul as ho reach d the lillie entry way, bc beard a voie? from the garret. H was his child's. He crept up thc rickety stairs, and i oked through a crack in tho door. Ile saw Ag:;es upon lier knees. Toora were roiling di wo her cheeks, and ber hands were clasped towards Heaven ard she prayed : '.Ob. (?od! bo good to my (allier, and nnke bis heart warm and peaceful ! Wake mc to love bim with, all tenderness, and ena ble mo to do well and truly the duty I pledged to my sainted mother ! I promised I would love and care for bim always. Father in Heaven, help me ! Ob ?bel]) me! Tac old man crept down stairs and out of doors, and for a whole Leur he walked alone among the trees. Ho thought again of bis child ; md tlicni ms ?0,cl 1 And thia was not the first time be bad walked alone thee. Ile did not himself know bow grcai the in fluence of his child was exerting over bim. . Agnes, pure, good, beautiful Agnes, wept jong ar.d bitterly in ber little garret, and when slie bad become calm, und ber cheeks were dry, she came down and got supppr. But sho was.not the smiling, happy brdng that had flitted about the scanty buafd bere loforc. A few days after this, as Noah Brcmati ap proached bis cot one morning, be beard voices dum within. He peeped through a rout in tho coarse paper curtain, and saw Walter Adams with bia child. Her head was upon Walter'" shoulder, and bis arm wa., about her. Walter was an orphan, and bad been Ag nos' schoolmate, and her fervent lover through all the virtuous man, and loved tho gentle girl because she was so good and gentle, and so beautiful- Aud sbo loved him, not only . because bo was, of all ber suitors, 'bc only mc whose character and habits promised joy and peace for thc future. i; I cannot leave my poor old father, Wal ter," tho old man heard bis daughter say. ,l I must live to love ar.d care for him. On ali the earth I am tho only one left to love him. It is bard I My hiartmay break 1 But thc pledge of love I gave to my dying motlier must lie kept." ".And so the grout joy-dream of my youth must be changed to this sad reality ! I can uotuisk you to leave your father,, sweet Ag nes, for the very truth in you which I wor ship would be made a lie could you do so. But 1 have a prayer. I pray that God in his mercy may; remove the curse from your father's bended form !" "The curse! Walter?" "Aye- the. Gold Curse!" rejoined the youth fervently. " I hope God may render him penniless !" ''What?'. Penniless?'' Repeated Agnes with a start. "Aye ; penniless! for then he would be far more wealthy than he is now. Then bc would know how .to appreciato thc priceless bles sings of his, sweet Agnes' love, and then the crust might be broken, and his heart grow human again. And more than all," Walter continued/ winding his arm more closely about the fair form of hts companion, and speaking more deeply, " then I could prove to hinr my love. Then I could take you to my home ; and wc could both love him and care for bon whilo we" lived !" Noah Breman. stopped to hear no more, and as hej,:walked away, he muttered to him self: . ; " The rascal ! He'd do great things; me penniless,'and he praying for it, the young villian!"! When the old man gained his accustomed walk ainring the great sycamores, ho wiped somi'thing from his eye. Ile acted as though a mote had been blown in there. "Two weeks passed on, and Agnes grew pale andjthin. She did not sing as she used n>, nor couid she smile a3 had been her wont. Si ill she murmured not, nor did her kindness to her froher grow less. " Oh, God, help me to love my father." sh? prayed erne night. " Let not my grief make me forget my duty !" And the old mau heard it. One night Noah came home from the city, and in his baud he brought a small trunk. 'lu barr,t'.d thc duor, aud drew tho tattered curtains close. .. Six-," In: said, an he opened thc trunk, and piled tho new hank notes upon thc table. " L'. 'kf-.there, Agnes, sud see bow I have wofkecHn my life tim;.

A?o while, thc ord man's cyes;arkled with evident satisfaction, his child wore a ssd, sor rowi?jg look. And l-?ng after that she looked a', il?fe woikit.g features of her father and pray?!' that the G dd Fiend would set him lree.? When Atrito retired she left her father up : but ere long sh.- heard him put his little ?rcnk a.-.ay', an 1 uo ty his bod ; and th en shu s-!-j.t | Hark! What s-ound is that?

" Jinined! Losl!" groaned Noah Broman, as ho tinned front lb" scattered embers. '. I had fifty thousand dollars in that trunk, and where are they now ?"

And when ho walked alone beneath tho starry heavens he wiped his own eyes as though something troubled him. Gay as a lark was lb?, gentle, beautiful Agnes, when she became the wife of Walter Adams. Thc rose bloomed again upon her happy face like sunshine all the dav Ion? ." Lo you pray to God to help von to love mo now ?" the obi man asked after ho had lived with Walter some months. " Why, what do yeti mean ?" Agnes asked in surprise. " You used lo pray so, for I have he ml you," returned Noah. A moment tho young wife gazed into ber parent's face, and she answered, while she threw her arms about his neck, '; Oh, Lpray that you may be spared to us for long years in peace and happiness, but love you ? Oh ! I could not help it if f should try. And Waller loves you very much, for he has told mo so many times." There was something more than usual in thc old man's eye now. Ono evening as the Happy trio sat at the tea table, Walter looked more thoughtful than was 1?ii wont. " What is it love ?" Agnes asked. " 0, nothing, the husband said, with a snSiie, "I was only thinking." " But of what." u Only castle building, that's is all." " In thc air, Walter," asked Noah. " Yes. very high in the air," the young man return* J, wi h a laugh. .' Bul Iel! us What it is." H Well, I'd as lief tell, jog as not. Mr, O.-i good.bi to retiro from opr. 'firm in ? lew day:!.'

" But what castle in the air, ;s there about that." ,l 0, that isn't the castle.' " Then what is ihe castle ? Urged the old man playfully." " Why, simply this, said Wailor, laughing, but yet almost ashamed to tell it: This nomi Mr. Osgood patted me on the shoulder aud said he-in his playful way-Walter, Til sdi you all.my interest here for fifty thousand dollars." "Ha, ha," laughed Noah Breman, "and you tiought he was in earnest." "No, no," quickly returned the young man,111 did not think that, though I ' knew that the other two partners would be willing to have me for an-associate." " But it seems to me eld Osgood holds his share in the concern at a high ligure." " Oh no. It is a very low ooo.

Ha, ha, ha," laughed the old man again. Then Walter laughed, and ihen they li: ished their supper. On the next evening Walter Adams carne in aud sauk dawn on thc sofa without speak ing. He was palo and agnate J, and his eyes had a vacant wondering look. " Waller !" Cried Agues, in terror, " what has happened ?" " He's sick," muttered Noah Breman, with out looking around. ''No, i.o, n"t "sick." n t imed the young ti.in Starting up ! u But I am the victim of a mis erable trifiing." Eh } How so T] Asked old Noah, now turning his chair.. "TU tell you," said Walter, with a spas modic ellort. "I had sume loup entries t< pjst this evenirg, so I remained in thc count ing room after the rest bad gone. Twas still at work when Osgood came in and placed some pap rs on my desk, saying as he did so. '. Here Waker, lies? are.yours ; and then he w.-nt out. \Vr.eu I lieished my work I open oct the papers.

" Well," said the old man, thumping lis foot upiinf the carpet, and keeping time wita his hands, "1 don't see anything very bad iu that." '.But 1 do," replied Walter.
