w ise : | he
He *vaa walking acrnea a barren field, j ins
along a narrow path that led hint at last wa
to the door of a poor laborer's cottage ? gl>
It wa* near the olew of day. 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

Idren, is to be happy.'
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

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. Aunt. I have found something
it you will be charmed to hear. Let
re id it to \ on.'
'No child'?and the lady put up her
lids "I am in no mood for reading.'
Hut the sweet girl would take no tleiiil)iawing

towards goodness. And he had j

[ through every fibre of his spirit a thrill

Doors to the Ears and Heart.
A judicious writer, wise, some will say Hj|
n tint world's ways, has said, bow probundly
I leave you to judge, that, to
in ploy li is own language, 'there are two Tl
lours inside bis ears, a right band door kn
r?
ending to the heart, and a left liaod door go
villi a broad and ?teep passage out into tri
be open air. This last door receives all if
lghness, profairty, vulgarity, mischief i!?
nuking, winch suddenly find themselves lai
nitsnle of biin.' lie then continues ;? to
Judicious teachers and indulgent parents to
lave yoiijjg u/cbins a worhl of trouble by tic,
i convenient deafness, Hanker* and bro* dr
cers often are extremely bard of bearing. w|
when unsafe borrowers are im .ortunate. in
I never bear a man who runs after me in
lie street, bawling my name at (lie top of
us voice; nor in cm that talk evil of those u(
alio are absent ; nor those who give tun d<
jna?ked advice about my affair*; nor ki
lhot?? wj p talk largely about things of pi
which tliey are ignorant. If there are w
"Ottnds of kindness, of mirth, of love, open ft
lly my ears! Hut temper, or harshness, d<
