'What beautiful flowers I?see them,
| uintuma 1' said little Ella, as she entered
the gale of the widow's cottage.
The voice surprised a delicate looking
^ schild, who with pale transparent complexion,
Hii l meek browi. eyes, sat under the
shade "f a 1111tf 111 y oak, near the cottage
d<>or, coiininu her morning lesson. They

that <!eckt*l ihe lowly home of poverty
and Wiitii. The |>ol which contained
them sin d in die liitte window, and the
widow's chnd watched it with tender
care.
As Mrs. liquid and her little girl approached,
:he child closed her book, re
ceived them with a pleasant smile, rose
and led them softly into the sick chamber,
where lor several days her mother bad ,
been confined with rheumatism.
M rs. Howard and Mrs. Weaver were ]
bolli widows, though in ver\ ditferent cir j

? health and affluence, the other dependent 1
and poor. Fortunately for the last, pros

( or. Mrs. Howard was one ol those who
take care to keep in view the responsibility
of wealth, remembering that 'where
I much is given, much will be required,'
and though she lived in a great house,
furroiinnna m laiauiitui grounds, pnrki of j

plants, she ?a* often seen wending Iter

ilm.eiv root a noble oak stretched his
great | needing arms. Alt, how well I
remeinhei the spot- the clear, silvery
t>rook that circled the hill, the clinging

the gale closed, and the visitors were
gone.
I All the wiv home Etla chatted about
those lieautifiil lilies, wishing the had
some like them, for abe had been taught
that it was wrong to covet what belonged
to anolhet.
'What a prellv wreath they'd make
for the Mav Qu<-en?I'd feel so proud to
crown tier with it,' ahe remarked, and
wiih such thoughts busy in hei mind,abe
reached Iter home.
That night she had a singular dream.

trying to make out whose it was, a little
shadowy form stood before her, looking,
oh ! so pale, and she at once recognized
Nannie Weaver.
The next morning she awoke, troubled
4 and sad, ami related her dream to her '
mother. The day following they went
again to the widow's collage. Nannie !
did r."t come out to meet them s? usual,
.nor was she sitting as before, under the
oak, conning her daily task She was
very, verv ill. The doctor was there, and
Mrs. Weaver, gathering strength from '
her child's danger, watched the little sufferer
with a mother's most anxious solicitude.
Nannie's breathing was very quick,
for she had been suddenly attacked with
croup the day previous, and she tossed
about restlessly upon her pillow,ss though
in great pain Klla gazed mournfully up
on the suffering face of her sick playmate
and then her e\e involuntarily rested up
on the pot of lilies in the window. Nan

Ella gaxed long and tearfully upon tl
motionless form of her lost playmate. She
observed the eyelids were gently clo

when she pressed her lips to the raarlt
cheek, she knew there could be no life i

Will Winslow.
Will Winslow was the worst boy in ll
village ; bia lather's indulgence had spo
ed him. 'Don't check the boy,' he wou
any to hia mother, 'you will crush all tl
manhood in him,' and so he grew up tl
terror of the neighbors. The old, the ii
firm and the crippled, were the apeci
object* of hi* vicious merriment. Oi
poor woman bent by age and infirmiti*
be assailed with hia ridicule, a* she dai

from the well near the bouse, and ju
within the play ground of the aciioo
house. 'Only look at her,' he would sa
'isn't she the letter S now, with an esti
crook in it?' and his cruel laugh, as I
followed cl<?e behind, mocking and mm
icking her, called forth from her no r
buke. One day however she turned, an
looRed at him reproachfully, said, 'fi
home, child, and read the story of Elisli
and the two bears out of the wood.'
'Shame on you. Will I' said Charh
Mansfield, 'to laugh at her misfortune*
I heard my grandmother say, that si
became a cripple by lifting her idiot soi
and tending him night and day.'
'I don't care what made her so,' sai
Will, 'but I wouldn't stav in the world
