Mr fears no this head were but too truly unremtplished. When
I drove up to the home, my sister was waiting on the steps to re-
ceive me, and ill a moment I was in her tome. When, after %)Ille
tune, we drew Mick to gaze upon each other. there was indeed
cause for pain. We could not expect that we should be unchanged.--
we knew that time must have dime his usual work.—but still we lived
in each other's recollection just an we hail parted, and the reality
was scarce) y lean sad from its having been, in a great degree,
lm-seen. The name smile, indeed—a smile never to be forgotten_
still played in my sister's eye and lip; but the eve was sunken,
and the lip grown thin--aml the smile itself was sadder and more
aged, like the frames and hearts of both of tie. The hill, bloom-
ing cheek was grown hollow and pole; and the luxuriant aed beau-
tiful hair. for which my rime, het been remarkable. was entirely
hidden—if, indeed, it still remained—by the widow's cap, which
she had alien ever since her husband's death. This. and the gown
uf dark grey._which was likewise, I found, her conrtant attire—
tompleted toe contract with the light-hearted, brilliant, blooming,
beautiful girl whom I had left. Foe myself, I believe I war multi-
civilly changed alto. My sister and I read in each other's looks
the shock we hurl mutually received, and we walked 'Wendy
together into the house.

"Here I was to experience a meeting still more bitter. I knew
that our father hail gunk &linos: into second childhood ; but I had
no expettation of finding his inibeeiiny so complete./ Ile was
Prated in an easy chair near the window, which reached to the
ground, that lie might enjoy the mild and grateful warmth of a
July sun-,at. Iles limbs were wrapped in flannels, and he was
supported by pillion on either side. Ills head 'hook tremulously
--his eye wm 'saintly hard - and his jaw drooped in the extremity
of dicage. This miserable wreck, which humanity could scarcely
look at without a feeling of degradation, was all that remained of
the hale and handsome man whom I had quitted—ti was all that
flow and maim had spared of toy father !
" The room in which we sat was the library, and had undergone
namely any change since I list) last seen it. 3ly eye could realg.
rise the hooks in the very places in which I had left them :—the
heavily-hound, rel.edged folios were ranged along the ground-row,
unmatched, since most probably, 'ee my early :hind toe books had led
me to explore theist ;—and, inane corner of the highest shelf, I saw
a white-backed copy of thilliver's Travels, which I had nearly
hniken nty neck in clamhermg to reach. Most of the furniture was
new ; but the-e was still an ski Wile and white china jar, which I
had got Into disgrace for marking—and on which was still to be
seen the rivet which the housekeeper hail placed upon it at toy en.
treaty. A Loge iiht.taahionid ha k-gani ttttt n table also stood in
one corner, 141111'h I well recollected as having been one of the de.
lights at my boyiususl ;—mud the picture which hung over the chim-
ney--the only one in the mom -was, as it had always been, the
portrait of an ancient worthy of our race, arrayed in the angular
atilfbess—the large ruff—clocked stockings, and bameed shoes.—of

may appear tritting—hin I recollect they made strung myrmidon
upon me at the timt—antl the tank I h tve undertaken of writing a
',amulet of my life is naturally Inure a raved of feeling* than of

" The long conversation I hail with my sister, tended in no de.
gyre to remove the sadness which mil these circumstances had
caused. Ilex subdued and melancholy manner *hewed, that the
hand of sorrow hod been upon bee also—that all her feelings sere
changed and saddened --except only her affection fir me. I made

the retainers who are always so numerous about a large country

so fervently bidden God to 111“4 try parting step—intone remained
to welcome my return. All the villagers, too, who had loin must

making their landlord's children abate in the merriment of their
harvest-home. and the joyousness of their Christmas carol—those,
too, who had been my mother's pensioners, and to whom she had
made us the dispensers of her bounty, that she might train our
young hearts to the exalted pleasure of doing good ;—all these, as
I made inquiry for them one by one, I was told had dissarreared
from the scene and, of course, those who hail risen sip to fill their
places could feel no interest for me. My recollections of home had
out been condom dto the physical scene alone—they y had naturally
o .choled the images id those who dwelt there— and it now seemed
almost a mockery to be restored to the spot itself, and to filel that
