In the , door of tha cottage sat a woman, and ** two children stood by her, listening alien- an lively while she read. They did riot ftp- : im pear to notice Adrian, though he draw in ao close to them that he eouht hear every , wt word that fell from the woman's lip*,? , CI miemy iiih neart leaped with a strange light. Tbe words to which she was itig voice were his own words. He I ii written them m ny years Lefore, nestly desiring that they might find ur way into children's hear'.?, and bear ill tlicm a blessing. The mother read on, and the children nod towards her. Adrian saw that the re lessons l.e had given were sinking o their young minds. kI will he like that good man,'said one the children, as hit* mother ceased rea '{* And,! will try to he like the sweet urig l^idy, his daughter,' said tho other '^ueh good examples, my children, are i our uutlMlion,' answered the mother, e are poor, hut we ?nay all have the lies about which we are told in the rt?rielii ?

Like one of those djr>solving views that irm while i liey delude the senses, cb an I this humble scene into one of exter grace and beauty. Adrian was in * luxurious apartment of a lady grown weary through idleness. She lay, j if reclined, on a sofa, her countenance aring a lielful aspect. As before, his weiice seem d not observed. Sigh* rted her lips?sad words were ntier i ?her restless body was constantly j mging its positions. 'Oh, lam wretched!' she murmured, ustencu is a tiresome burden. It were ler 10 die at. I ho at rest, than live this ideas, miserable life.' Lven while she spoke a beautiful young lidett caniti gliding into the room. She d an open book m her hand. With vHilling smile, >ho said ? Oh.

Hut the sweet girl would take no tleiiil)iawing an ottoman to the lady's t, she -at down and read, (low ta liar was the language which It'll troili hps'. Adrian listened.

Jerking up, he saw a woman hen v dr ipyd in the garments of mourning, e sat fry a table on which lay some >k?. In her hand she held the minia e of a child; and Adrian knew that mas iter child, and that it had passed wards to dwell with angels.

And grief spends ?lf. sobbit.g away into silence, like the parting tempest. The lady grew calm luliiri It' uiiri lllitlltflil lib raaoli l from the darkueaa whcrem it w?> rouded, to find aotnfellnng u|ton which ^uUI mt and gmn support m thin liour bitter trial.

'May Ilea choicest blessings be showered upon lictir ' And this scene changed ?dso. Ad was now in the street, moving along the promiscuous crowd. Two young went by liiin.

One. youngest, seemed bunt on doing s tiling, from the consummation of w Ins older companion was trying to sonde him.

And then Adrian heard this fai friend repeat, with singular truth to and language, a little composed life I ry. w hich years before he had wrillet cast forth upon the waters.
