the ielda, groen as they were, only made
my heart ache. I flung myaelf on the
floor and lifted up an exceeding bitter
cry. I oharged the prood Lord fooli^y^t

cruel. He don’t care. I heard some
uoixe below and then I thought, how
sinful; perhaps Joeiah wifl die; he
needs you now, and here you are, giving
way to despair. I did not see my folly,
'.at I picked up a little courage and went
down. , - ^ r - ’.

came that awful diphtheria. May was
sick two days; the third day the bloom

faded, and the flower was plucked by
the gardener. The four remaining chil
dren were soon taken. In two weeks’
time we had but bne child. The hill-
locks were froah in the orchard, four of
them beside little ’Siah. So sudden j
was the blow, so anxious the days, that
I had not time to think of my grief.
But, last of all, Joeiah was taken, wea
ried out with watching and sorrow. His
strong constitution held at bay the terri
ble disease for weeks. One night, when
the crisis came, he prayed with me, his
dying lips not faltering as ho commend
ed me to God. Ha said five children
were waiting for him, and he seemed to
see them as ha drew hear the end, and,
at midnighfV was a widow'.

wouldn’t'believe it—that I was hand

marry him before that, and ths folks
were rather anxious, for be wm 'rich ;
but Joeiah and I had loved each other
since we were children, and I sai l no.
Well, we were married and the farm had
a mistress, jl knew all about work,
wm strong and hopeful. We didn’t have
any auoh fixings as that city chap would
have bought, but wo loved each other
and our poverty was no hindrance to

to pay $200 on the mortgage. It was
hard work, and we both were a little
tired. I was not quite as strong os the
summer came on. ”
Here she stopped as if lost in reverie ;
her face took that 1 abstracted look again.
“ And how was it next year ? ” I in
quired.
She gave a sigh. " Mister, my luck
began then,” and a dawning smile flat
tered on her thin lips ; “ that is, I called

then my tears began to flow. I had
not been able to cry for mcntiis. Those
little pink petals spoke to me. I came
to myself. I began to pray. I said : T

" Another autumn. May come to us,
a calm, placid child. I had something
to live for, and I roue up with new cour
age. The red loaves fell on ’Siah’a
grave, but I knew he was beyond the
reach of a dying life. I began to look

Here the woman ceased. I had been
intensely interested. I cannot put tone

expression of her calm face I had found
bread. "Bat that wm long ago,” I

narrative. . . /

her father had removed to EmI Nash

which two qualities rendered her an at
tractive magnet, and she soon drew a
number of our young men, who are
adorers of beauty, around her. One of
the gents, seizing time by the forelock,
prepared his declaration of love, and
thinking it might be an incentive to Ips
success, prefaced his declaration with a
description of her future home which
she would lie led to, and, to make the

a poor baby who wm almost burned tv
death becaaae her brother, who had
promised to take oars of her, left her
and raa out oo the street to plsy.
He weut to the door sad shouted
again. It wm something like ths case
of Casahianoa. But when two mothers
are talking aliout path ms and Christ-
mas trees, who ever knew them to no
tice every little outside noise ? Elliert’s
shout ended in s big soh. A man going
to lose his entire fortune couldh’t feel
worse than this little fellow did, with
that dreadful "tardy” mark hanging
over his bead.
Then a happy thought flaslntd into
his mind. Running to the cradle, he
caught up the baby, scattering pillows
and blankets right and left, bundled an
old shawl over her, snatched her half-
filled milk bottle, dashed out of the*
house, and ran in the direction of that
clanging bell as fast os his stout young
legs could carry him. The baby was a
Hght little mite, only two-and-a-half
months old, and Elbert wan nearly six
years and large for his age.
He met two women, whom he knew,
and who commenced making weak re
marks, " like " Why Elliert 1 ” and
"What on earth 1” but he bounded
past them, with no answer hot his pant-
braath, and ranched ths school

Some time ago a man came into a
Baltimore lawyer's office in a state of
great excitement, aad asked him to com
mence proceedings for a divorce. Mr.
Dobbin heard him through, and then
said, " 1 think I have something that
will exactly suit your case. Bit still and
I will read it to you.”
