We lingered at the Jittlo gate, Beneath a dark and dewy sky, And when at last we parted, Foto Behind the shadows whispered, "wait;" Cut she unheeding murmured, ''Lnte. Late, late sweetheart, 'tis growing late? Oh, then, goodnight, hut not goodbye!" I Watched her flitting up the stair And longed to be where thought could fly; But half way Up the darkened stair She turned and chid my lingering there; "Even love," she cried, "must rest fo bear New buds for blooming! Only swevr, You'll not forget. Ah, do not BWear, And then goodnight, but not goodbye!" Her voice is in my memory yet, A still small sound that passeth by, Fpi who can love und then forget? 1 But death is sleep; and somewhere yet Love's morn will me and never set! Therefore elose up iny collin : let Loye rest uwhile from eate nnd fret. ?Sleep well, sweetheart; I'll not forget* Goodnight, indeed, but not goodbye. SJSLECfED ST?HY. I1A1LF A CB?W?. "Ph ase, sir, Will ycu buy my chest nuts?" "Chestnuts? I\o," returned RalphMoore, looking carelessly down on the upturned face, whose large, brown eyes, shadowed by tangling curls oi'ilaxen hair, were ap pealing so pitifully to his own. "What do I want with chestnuts?" "But, please, sir, buy 'em," pleaded the little one, reassured by the rough kind ness of his tone. "Nobody seems to care for them, and?and-" She fairly burst into tears, und Moore, who had beeil on the. point ol rushing carelessly pant h.or, stopped instinctively "Are you very much in want of the money ?" "Indeed, sir, we are," sobbed the child; "mother scut me out, and-?" "Nay, little, one, don't cry in such a heartbroken way," said Ralph, smoothing down her hair with careless gentleness. "1 don't want your chestnuts, hut here's half a crown for you, it that will do you an) good." He did not stop to hear the delighted, incoherent thanks the child poured out through a rainbow of .smiles and tears, but strode on his way muttering between his teeth. "That cuts oil* my supply of cigars for the next two weeks. But I don't care, though; the brown eyed object did cry as if she hadn't a friend in the world. Hang it I wish that I was rich enough to help every poor creature out of the slough of despondency.' While Ralph. Moore was indulging in these very natural reflections, the dark eyed little damsel whom he had comforted was dashing down the street, with quick, clastic footsteps, utterly regardless of the basket of unsold nuts that still dangled on her arm. Down an obscure lane she darted, between ruinous rows of houses, and up a u arrow wooden staircase, to a room where a pale, neat looking woman, with large brown eyes like her own, was sewing as busily its if the breath of lifo depended upon every stitch, and the two little ottos were contentedly playing in the sunshine that temporarily supplied the place of fire. ''Mary! back already? Purely you have not sold your chcauuts so goon ?" "O;another! mother, see!" ojnculatcd the" almost breathless child. "A gentle man gave me a whole lfuff crown. Only think, mother, a whole half a crown!" It Ralph Moore could only have seen the r tpturo which his half crown gift diffused around it in the poor widow's poverty stricken home, ho would have regarded still less the t^mnorary priva tion of cigars to which .his generosity had subjected him. Yearn mine nod-went. The little ehest? nut girl passed as entirely out of Ralph Moore's mrtnory ?s if pleading eye? bad never touched the soft, spot in lii-t heart; but Mary Lee never forgot the stranger who had given her'ttV- .silver half crown, i * * * * ? The crira?b'u window curtains wer? closely drawn, to shut out the Btorni and tcniliest of the bleak . December night ; the fire was glowing cheerily in the well filled grate, and tho dinner table, in a glitter with cut glass, rare china, and polished silver, was only waiting for the presence of Mr. Audloy. . "Whatcan bo it that detains papa?" said Mrs. Audley, a fair handsome mat-, ron of about thirty, as she glanced at tho dial of a tiny enameled watch. "Six o'clock, and he does not; make Iiis ap pearance." "There's a man with him in the study, mamma, come on business," said Robert Audley, a pretty bgy, elcVen yeafs old, who was reading by tho fire. "I'll call him ngain," Baid Mrs. Audley stepping to the door. But'as- she Opened it, the brilliant gas light in the hall foil full on the frtco of an humble-looking man, in worn and thread bare, garments, who was leaving the house, while her husband stood in the doorway of his study, apparently relieved to be rid of his visitor. "Charles," said Mrs. Audley, whose check had paled and flushed,'"who is that man, and what docs he want ?" "His name is Moore, 1 believe, and he came to see if I would bestow upon him that vacant clerkship in the bank." "And will you ?" "I don't'.know, Mary I must think about it," "Charjes, give htm the situation." "Why, my love?" "Because I ask it of you as a favor, and you have said a thousand times you would never deny me anything." "And I will keep my word, Mary," said the noble-hearted husband, with an utiecti muiUi ki:-.-:. "I'll ?vi?te thn ii'llutr ?* note this very evening. I believe I've got his address about me, somewhere." An hour iatcr, when Bobbie, Frank and Eugene were snugly tucked in bed, in the spacious nursery up stairs, Mrs. Audley told her husband w hy she Was so interested in 1J10 fate of a man vthoin she had not seen in twenty years. "That's right, my little wife," replied her husband, folding her fondly to his breast, when the simple tale was conclu ded. "Never forget one who was kind to you in the' days when you needed kindness most/' * ?& * * Ralph Moore was sitting in his poor lodgings beside his ailing wile's sick bed, when a liveried servant brought a note from the rich banker, Mr. (.'harks And ley. "Cftjod Jtcws, Bertha," he exclaimed, as he rend the brief words "We shall not starve ; Mr. Audley promises nip the vacant situation.'" "You have dropped something from the letter, Ralph," said Mrs. Moore, point ing to a slip of-paper on the floor. Moore stooped to recover the cstray. f t was a fifty-pound note, neatly folded \t\ i\ piece of paper, on which was writ ten, "In grateful remembrance of a half crown piece that a kind stranger bestow ed on a little chestnut girl over twenty years ago." Ralph Moore had1 thrown his morsel of bread upon the waters, and after many days it had returned to him*. ? ?? ^ ? ^ - We regret to learn the death'at her homestead in Fait field County, near the Ric.hlnnd line, of Mrs. Frances Powell, in the 73d year of her age. She exhibited up to a very recent period the unwonted mental and phj steal vigor which had char acterized her long and usofnt life. She was the mother of out well-known fellow-citizens, Dr. John W. Powell, and Henry Powell, and of Mrs. Samuel Beard. Mrs. Powell was an almost life-long member of the Baptist Church, and bad always illustrated by her life of energetic piety, the virtues of a true Christian lady.
