Fivo years have past and gone since we last visited the romantic little town of Walton. Five years have wrought many challges ill the history of those who have boon presented to tile gentlo read. er ill this real life sketch. ,rig a beautiful spring day as tle narrator alights from the train at the little railway station in Wal ton. Beautiful spring-the bar binger of returning joy and bloss ings-has not fauled to return in her anlnual visit, ladon with aill that makes liflo pleasant and cn joyable. Proceeding along tile only stroot leading to the quiet village, wo moot many familiar objects, thec sight of which recalls p)llasant memories; we fain would d well u pon themr, but our rovery is sud(1 denly disturbed by the apiproacl of a carriage, drawn by twvo fiery hIorses, wihich the driver is vaLinly endeavoring to control. But mad ly t 110y rush by, hlelss of tile strenluous exertions mlade to re strain thoem, and threatening thle lives of both the driver anId a tair young lady who is holding on thle side of the vehicle, fear and do spiru marked upon01 the palo1, ter ror-stricken face. Suddenly the carriago gives a trofel(ondou lurch] and the dIriver, from his high scat, is precipitatedl with violence to the ground. Tholi horses feeling theoslves freed from the strainl upon01 thoeir bits, dash onward with reno.ved speed. As the fair occu pant of~ tIhe carriago discovers 1h01 perilous condition, she gives one long aigoniinig cr.y of (despair, and sinks backc upon0 the velvet cush-1 ionIs in a senmi-uinconseious conidi Sulddenly the horses are chock. ed in their wild flight and1( a man is holdinlg them by either bit. Wildly they plunge, and try to break away; but, though tram. plod upon01 and1 blooding, the man holds fast his grasp until help1 arrives, andl then ho sinks to the ground, a bleeding and bruised miiass. Tenderly we raised the her'oi manti from thle ground(. We start back with astonishmen.A; how fa-. miliar, despi.to the matted and clot. ted hair, his features look! 18 it p)ossible? Yes, 'tis he- Walter Chester-but how changed! Can thlis ill-clothed, bloated atnd bruised form bo the fashionably at?tiredI anld erect Walter Chester we knew five years ago? At sight of hlim, memory talkol us back to the last evoning on which we saw him, when he was bor'ne fromn Judge Dayton's resi. dence, intoxicated; aInd, dw~ellin~ upon01 the scenes of that oning, the mnystery Is.not so deep, trud plartially clearsa away, and ou11 imaginlation loads us ahlng the (lnlu nwned nath of the nfontunatz alost the very drOgs of degrada~ tion. lut wIio is the fair creature whom lie has saved by imperiling his own life? A singular coincid. once-'tis shl who has embittered the life, and destroyed t,he pros pects of tho man nlow lying beioro her-hor preserver. She, too, has changed, but the (h1anlge has on1ly aIlide her more beautifi and attractivo. Five yeiais of* Paris liflo has only added to her miany natural charms 1111a graces. Sho halts but recently re turned from bor extended sojourn iin France, whero she has been seeking health and pleasure. And thus they have mot-tho dostloy er, an)d dest royed-for the first, tiic since that evo'tfll night which proved our hero's rlin. 1reat ilndreod was the astonish ilolit which depicted itself uponi Irmno's fitco, at discovering, in this fallon and pitiable object bofore her, her former respected acquaint iance. As sho .gazed u1on1) the in animate and bruised form, she re called the memory of that event ful night of 1hcr niotoonLth birt.h day, and her hoart smote her. She saw the great error she had com litted, and, at, this late 110111, she resolved to atone as far as she was able for the ureat wrong she had done. Gontly, at her command, was the unconscious form of Walter Chester lifted up and placed beside her in the carriage, which was driven to the judge's residonce. The m1ost skilful physicians were em1ployed, Who pronounced his Case a critical 010. His nervous system had received a sovero shock, they said; besides his consti tution was broken by exposure and excessive debauchery. Care fil nursing, perfect quiet and ten der ,vatching, were the things most, nueded to insure his recovery. Earnestly did Irene apply herself I t.o the solf-imposed task before her, but. it was a laborious and weiary duty she had resolved to perfbrm, and many were the tedious days ay, woks, sho struggled through, watching with the faithfulness ofa mother, the varied ohiangou of hor patiOnt, as the little spark of vit ality within him struggled to gain tho ascondancy. But, by the in domitablo perseveranco and forti. tiude With which Irene was )osses sed and exercised, and by the help of a merciful Providence, the little spark of life was fanned into a fiame, and ho slowly began to roeover. But many weecs passed by beforo ho wis sufficiontly con valosconlt to leave the home of her who had so kindly cared for and watched over him during his live tracted illness. During the period of hisconvalOsence, however, Irene had discovered whatothers had fail od to do-that Walter Chestor was not lost to the world-that, the star of his genius would yet shine brightly; and,with encourageien t and hellp lhe could yet arise from his obscurity, and live to lhon or the name he bore. Another fact made itself evident to Irene's minmd :thatt what wias atL first a dutly, was now a leaC:sure to lher ; and that she enter tainled a deeper fooling of into. rest for lie: patient than a morbid desire to see him again a temper. tot and prosperous manm. She wvould not confess to horiself, at first, that this was the case, but as the imo drewv nigh for Walter to leave the hospitable home of Judge Dayton, she was forced to listen to the pleadings of her owvn boart, anid 'the fain would have stayo(d the hour of his departure. And how was it with 0our hero ? Was lie willing to leave the home of her who had (10n1 80 niuch for him. with onily a feeling of grati tude anid thankfulness? Ah, no I Dur ig his hours of' anguish had she net smoothed his fevered browi, moistened his8 parched lips and ad ministered an hundred and 0one othier little acts of love and sym. pa1thy'? And how hot' more touch hamd sent a thrill of ecstat.ic plea surte over' hind Whlen lie arose fr'om his bed of' sibkcnoss, andl was able to go .about a little, and lounge undI(er the inviting shade of' a large maple which stood at the side of the old mansion, or re cline in a hammock swung uinder the front poirch, many weiro the hours lie watched her, as she read to him, and thought how superbly. blest would be the man who could call lier' wifo. But, as those thought.s rushed through his mind lie bafnished them (or' tiod to, at least), thought of the "what might hiave been." -But nowv such thoughts were absurd, andl not to be encouraged for a moment, and lhe str'uggled to forget them; but as lie grow strongor, and be gan to readliro that lhe must soon leave beor forever, and go-he knew not whither-ho was .obliged to acknowledge to himself that ho loved lher, and that the future, without liar, would be ai blank and dreary' to him. Lato one afternoon, as ho was reclining on ono of the rustio seats in theanrbor. and thinking )Vor tho past am future, he Inur rurod to himself "H1ow difer-entl it might havo doent I" "And I alone am to blame," said a low voice.

Tle simple story of John 11of or1an teaches Us that honesty nd patience aro sure to be re varded, moro forcibly than that ,reat moral lesson could bo im -re8sed oil our minds by a diditi al1 discourso. John Ileffernan was a poor boy vbten ho ontored tho establish iient of Messrs. Goldsticks& Mon .ybags; but he brought wit h him a -ertificato from his Sunday school 'eacheor, saying that he was an lonest lad, who could learn moro 7ersos and forgot them quicke. han any other boy in the class. Ais employ,ors wero obliged to est his honesty inl various ways, )ut ho stood the test nobly. When Mr. Monroybags saw him >ick up a pin from the floor ho Vas -WsOOIt, he0 thought that rohn might bo guilty of taking 'hings, and dropped a ten cont hinplaster in tho same place; but Fohn honetly swept it out with )ut noticing it and brushed it into t corner, where ho could pick it ,I) at his leisure. Then Mr. Money. >ags overpaid him his weekly Sti >cid by $1, and waited to seo Xhatt the b,.y would do. At the lead hour otnight th Moneybags iousehold. was aroused by the fu ious ringing of tho boll. Tire old rentleman put on his dressing own and descended to the door, thero be found John Hoffernan with a tear in his eye and a (10111 bill in his right hand. John de Slared that he could riot rest in 4is virtuous couch, after discover ng the mistake, until it was recti. fied. -Wlry didn't you keep it.?" asic ,d Mr. Moneybags. "I would not haveknown that I had over paid ''Keepit?" exc-laimed John. "Lit. Lie do you of the precepts that were instilled in to my youthrful breast by my sainted grandimot her.

"Xeop) tihe dollar for your hron est y," said the benevolent 01(d gun. ticman. "Buy your Bible, and be htappy. I would ask you to mar r-y my darughtter, and would tamko you into partnership in the usual way; but it happens thrat my darughrters are all sons, and you must, excuse me for the present." John went home, his heart swvol ling with the consciousness of hav ing done his duty and made a (101. lar clear.

IIUNU AND AND WIIFE. D)id you ever hear11 thle word "husband'' exphlained ? It m1eans1 literally tIhe '"head of' the hIouse," the supp1or't of' it, the per'soni who Iceeps it together, as a band keeps togothler a sheaf of' corn. Thollro aro'( man11y mnarriied men01 who are not husbauds, because they are not the band of' the house. Tr'ulv inl many Cases, th11 wife is theo husband ; for of'tontimes it is she who1, by her' prudo(lneo and thlrift and eCOnomy, koops5 thle hlouse to. getheri. T1he mIarrtied man who, by his dlissolut11. Ihbits, str'ips hiis house of'all comfort, is not a hus1. band; inl legal s01180 he is, blat in no other ; for lhe is not a 110u1o band; instead of keeping thlings to gethler, hIe scatters thlem among the pawn-br'oker's. And1( now let uts see whethler the wvord "wifo"' hias~ 1nota lessoni too. I t literally means a "weaver." Theli wife is the peorson who weaves.
