John Allen sat -alone in his stall}, gat ing thoughtfully into the glowing coals before h.iin.

The wealthy hanker ruse from his chair as tho storm grew louder, and, going to tho window, raised the heavy damask curtain and 'looked nut.

"A dreadful night*. 1 pity the poor wretch who is obliged tu faee this wind and rain, i wonder if Agatha?" a hall" sigh fluttered from his'lip*, und a look of pain lingered in his eyes. Many people believed John Allen tu be without a heart, und sup posed that whatever aflection he was ca pable of feeling had been given years before to the shining gold which lay in glittering heaps in his coffers, jfud in so believing were nearer right than the banker eared to have them. One?lung ago?a fair-haired daugh ter had idled the stately house with sun shine and song. A merry voice rang with laughter through the wide parlors, and the patter of dancing feet re echoed from st .it way and hall. Agatha Allen was the bankr's only child?his pride und his treasure, in her ho hud yon ttired all his hopes : and when she mar ried a pour book-keeper without his ex press commands, his rage knew uu builds, and he cast her oft'.

The air was clear and piercingly cold, while all over the earth and iho liuiif>etops the snow had fallen, wrapping the whole in a garment of purest white.

The. voice was half drowned in tr.irs, ;?rid a little, "blue, pinched baud was hold out cutreat iugly. Something in the tones startled hiin, and, bending down, he petered curiously, into the large, >ud ?yes which gave the little beggar a weird, uncanny look. ??What is your name, little one?" asked he kindly. "Agatha, Agatha Allen Stewart," wua the tremulous reply. "May (Jod forgive ine !" and catching the child in his arms, he hurried into the study. "An.l your mamma, how is she?" queried he,, as he seated the wee mite be fore the fire and ordered a generous uieul I to be prepared. The brown eyes wore filled with tears to overflowing, and between the choking sobs, .John Allen gleaned the facts that his once beautiful daughter was starving by inches in a hired tenement, while Iiis boarded gold lay unused in its hiding places. When the child was warmed and fed ho ordered the dainty little sleigh and slcok ponies, packed a basket with gootl substantial food and wine, ami drove in the direction of his daughter's residence '?a residence, of squalor and poverty bardiy to be conceived.

Upon a bed in one corner of the room lay an attenuated figure. The eyes were closed as ii in sleep, and one thin, trans parant band clasped tightly the worn counterpane. "Wake, mamiiiti, wake !

The banker reeled, and would have fallen bad he not < aught at the chair standing near him. "Too late !" he groaned ; too late ! Oh.

Mow long be remained ill that bowed position ho know not ; but, when be arose, there reigned in his heart a holy calm. With clearer eyes he read Hfc's'duty, and made resolves to amend his deeds. The wealth and power be once coveted was to him now only to be used to do good, and tu alleviate ,a? f ar as possible, iho sufferings of others, lie saw tha.world now with different eyes, and was surprise 1 to hud how* selfish and bigoted be bad been through all bis life.
