and the, children were assembled in the pleasant
family parlor, awaiting therteun of Judge Allston
fromhi Office. xIsabelwa holding little Eddie on
her knee.' The child had already repeatedly beg
ged pardon for his naughtness, and was as full as
ever of his loving demonstrations. Cecilia was,
as usual seated at the piano, playing half uncon-

out of the window into the gathering darkness.

pause of bewilderment, advanced with smile,
and clasped them both in one embrace. He said
not word then; but afterwards, when he bade
Isabel good night at the foot of the stairway, he
kissed her more tenderly than usual, saying as he
did so, 'eGod bless you my daughter" !"
