forward toeagock that can never be bro.
ken-to can inheritance that fadeth not
away"-but sad and lonely she could not
help but feel rs she left tho home of her
happy childhood to seek new one
among strangers Her life had been
spent among those who knew her, and
looked upon her faults with kindness
they knew that the errors she committed
were not promted by the heart-hcr faults
were only like notes in the sunbeam.
After comfortable journey, Mabel
found herself in the hospitable city Of
l., and there first felt how easily
wounded is the strangers heart. But Ma
bel had way of stealing quietly into
peoples hearts before they knew it, and a
warm circle Of friends was soon formed
around her, so that through their influence
and by their aid, she opened a school, and
soon had the pleasure Of seeing it well
filled with happy faces. A year passed
by, and Mrs Delafeld was comparatively
happy in doing her duty, and thereby
preserving good conscience.
One bright and sunny morning one of
her favouritc pupils brought a visitor, a
little girl Of seven summers. The child
was more than usually beautiful, and Mrs.
Delaicld, attracted by her appearance,
called her to her side. AS she took the
child's hand, and parted the luxuriant
curls from the open brow, her eyes invol-
UNFAIRLY wandered to a locket Of gold
which confined hair necklace around
the child's neck. A paleness like that of
death came over her features, and she
trembled in'evcry limb; but by strong
effort Of will she suppressed the Shrek
of surprise which arose to her lips, aud
said as calmly as she could to her favour
itc, "a glass Of water, dear Mary, | am
quite faint" The water was brought
quickly. and putting aside the anxious
children who crowded around her, she
drew the stranger child towards her, and
said kindly, Allow Inc to look at your
pretty locket."
The child was pleased with tho attcn.
ton, and unclasping it, hastily laid it III
her hands
Can it be possible?" thought Mabel
as she examined it; "this certainly was
once my own!
"Who gave you this locket my child!'
asked Mrs Delafeld, soothingly.
"My fatler-dear, good father" re
piled the child, in delight.

burning tears were streaming down her
cheeks, she hoped on, and dreamed OF
happier days. She chopped against hopc,'
and persuaded her heart into the belief
that care and anxiety were prcying on
his mind, and for little while had swal-
lowed up af1ection-but again it would
appear refined and purified by absence and
trial.
Faithful to her own love she wrote
q long and tender letter in return--shc

affection, and looked ioylully forward

ing happiness. Months, long and wcari-
somc months, rolled on, and no answer
came to her kind and gentle letter. Then
Mabel found the truth Of those beautiful
words, that "hope deferred maketh the
heart sick," and she thought that any
certainty was better than suspense, and
yet at that certainty there was no means
of arriving. The reed was broken on
which she had leaned, and, unfortunately,
she had never been taught that there
was higher refugee home for the
weary--a resting.placc for the broken
heart.
A year passed heavily on, no tidings
came to Mrs. Delafeld of her husband,
and she gave him up as dead. Her
heart told her that the grave alone could
raise barrier between her and the hus-
band she had loved so tcnderlyS But
there were those even among her dearest
friends who thought very rently-who
while they did everything that kindness

"Did % asked Delafcld, much con-

Both father and mother looked sur.

"Mrs. Delafeld was so ill-she tainted
and, papa, she thought this lockct and
hair so beautiful-shc took it off my neck

Delafeld was rooted to the spot-thc

guessed the connexion between the faint

"As the petty sessions, lately held at

laborers for tho sum of one shilling and

the capacities of Walsh; he considered
that a bargain was a bargain, and ought

THE DYING YEAR.

IIush-hush the year is dying

The wailing winds arc signing

In quiet, deep and holy,

And languidly and slowly
His weary eye-lids close.

While others hail with gladncss,

In glad young hearts are swelling
Fresh fountains Of delight,
In many a festive dwelling
The Christmas fires arc bright.
And stricken ones are weeping
Beside the larkcncd hearth,
O'cr loved and lost ones sleeping
Low in the tranquil earth
Strange-strange-what bitter blghting-
What deeds to startle thought
Wild, wonderful, exciting,
One short, sad year hath wrought
While we stir the dust of ages,
Times dreamy realms explore
Spell out from mould'ring sagcs,
Their quantity written lore

Men only live to hasten,
Like shadows to depart"
