from his clasped hands, and looked upon

look of agonizing remorse and helpless de-
spair, that she shuddered to behold it
Wide, wide open stood the door, and then,
the lady hastened to pass in. A small,
fair hand was laid on old BilPSearm, and
a sweet voice murmured-
Even for all this there is a redemp-

difficulty maintained their equilibrium,
and then eagerly seized the pen and pledge
the lady placed before him, and when he
returned them to her, the name of Will

ters upon the paper.
There was an expression, ludicrous
from its intensity of curiosity, on the bar
keepers physiognomy, as the lady passed
quietly through the "shop," after her
long interview with old Bill and the
expression was in no degree lessened,
when, in few moments after, old Bill
followed her, without stopping, as usual,
to take a "second glass;" and he never
passed over the threshold again.

low men if your heart is yearning over
some erring brother man, whom you
would gladly raise from the depths of
degradation and misery, and point to the
the highway of peace and viItue; remem-
Der that somewhere in his heart must be
a door, which, when rightly applied to,
will open unto you. See to it that ye
find it.

they "could afford to be out.'' Add to

Ah, none of these had patiently groped
their way up the hearts winding stairs

man sat by the pine table that morning,
the bar-keeper suddenly entered, follow

mild hazel eyes, and strangely winning
expression on her pensive face. The old
man looked up with vacant stare of as
tOnishment, as the bar-keeper offered the
lady chair, and pointed to the occupant
OF the other, saying:
=. That's Billy Strong, ma'am," and
with lingering glance of curiosity, left
that gentle woman alone with the aston
