She had sat like statue of stone, during the
history of his degradation, pale and fearless the
image of despair, but now the blood rushed back
in vivid warmth TO her cheeks, and springug to his
side she bent over him, and leaning her face
his shoulder, wept audibIy. Even when she felt
his arms thrown and locked around her as they

chide him or withdraw, for she would not for the
universe have added feathers weight to the
anguish she saw him suffer.
Augustus said she at length, do not despair ;

tened into more godly sorrow. He went with
them to their western home and there he remain
ed, believing his name must be accursed 10 his
own. On the return of health. he assisted bis
friend in clearing the wilderness, and diffusing a.
round the blessings of civilization and refnements
of taste. He had told him his history. and the
solemn determination he had made, if God gave
him strength to keep it, to make himself new
| name and fame, in place where he was unknown,
and to struggle with his prevailing sin. till he con-
quered at the sacrifice of life He did strug-

he dared 10 believe that he was indeed free that
he could walk forth without the dread of ofreturning
to the PRISON house of sham-; hut when time had
proved the reality of his reformation, he resolved
to return nonce more to the home he had made des-
olate, and say TO his mother the prodigai to his
injured father:-"l have sirned against Heaven
and agaiust thee. and am no more worthy to be
called thy son-but take me to your to.om again,

He thought Of her who had loved him even to his
degradation. He dared not think she loved him
STILL but if he doomed to see her the wife OF
another, he felt the punishment was just. He
thought too how he would visit the grave of little
Mary, and there, with broken and contrits heart,
renew his covenant vows to his Maker, and sup
plicate his forgiveness and grace. And now he
was seated at his mothers side; the forgiven and
blest with that sweet. rosy lovely being, cliDgng
around his neck, in all the warmth and bloom of
her loveliness; whom he believed cold and moul-
dering beneath the clods of the valley, and Rose
too, half enclosed in his arms still faithful and con-
filing; he- eyes bea ming with modest love and no.
ly gratitude, bending on that manly couutenauce
from which every darkening trace was swept
away.
Let it not be said then, that the man ..who de-
i.berates is lost" He may deliberate between the
choice of virtue and vice; he may even ehooss the
path Of vice, and leave the boundaries of virtue,
but he may return to wisdom's ways and find them
pleasantness, and her paths peace. The Ethiopi
an cannot change his skin, nor the leopard his
spots. but ts rOho hrge bren accustomed to do evil
