A Pretty StO{.

"Well, think its likely but don't tease me any
more. Your brother has married poor girl, one
whom forbade him to marry, and won't forgive
him if they starve together"
This speech was addressed to lovely girl scarce
ly eighteen, beautiful as the lily that hides itself be-
meath the dark waters. She was parting the silve-
ry locks on her fathers high handsome forehead of
which her own was miniature and pleading the
cause of her delinquent brother, who had married
in opposition to her fathers WILL and consequently
been disinherited Mr.. Wheatly was Il rich old
gentleman, resident of Boston, He was fat,
good natured old fellow, somewhat given to mirth
and wine, and sat in his arm chair from morning
until night smoking his pipe, and reading the news
papers. Sometimes a story of his own exploits IN
our revolutionary battles, filed up passing hour
He had two children the disObedieGt son, and the
beautiful girl before spoken Of The fond girl went
on pleading .-r s
"Dear father, do forgive him; you don't know
what a beautiful girl he has married, and
II think it's likely" said the old man, but don't
tease me, and open the door little, this plaguy
room smokes sO.'
"Well," continued Ellen, "wont you just see her
now-she is so good and the little boy he looks so
innocent"
"What did you say" interrupted the father; "a
boy have l grand child Why Ellen, l never
knew that before but think its likely. Well
now give me my chocolate, and then go to your
music lesson ...-
Ellen left him. The old mans heart began to re-
| lent. .r...-...
| -"WeI,' he went on, "Charles was always good
boy, a little wild or so at college, but INDUCED
him; and he was always good to his old father, Tor
all, but he dsobeyed me by marrying this poor girl
yet as my old friend and fellow soldier Tom Bon
ner, used to say, we must forgive. Poor Tom !
would give all the old shoes l have got to know
whatever become of him. If | could but lind him
or one of his children! Heaven grant they are no
suffering This paguy, smoky room, how my eye
water If did but know who this girl was tina
our Charles has married; bnt have never inquired
her name. I'll find out and
81 think it's likely" said the old man.
Ellen led into the room beautiful boy abou
two years old. His curly hair and rosy cheek
could but make one love him.
"Who is that said the old man wiping his eyes
"That--that is Charles boy" said Ellen
throwing one of her arms around her fathers neck
while with the other she placed the child on h!
knee. The child looked tenderly up into his fac'
and lisped out,
"Grand pa, what makes you cry so?'
The old mau clasped the child TO his bosom, kiss
ed him again and again. After this emotion had
little subsidized, be bade the child tell his name.
Thomas Bonner Wheaty," said the boy, Il al
named after grandpa"

The Summer is Ended.

Yes the summer with all its charms has ended
She lives alone in the memory of those who have
outlived her short but brilliant course. Behold
her now, robed in shroud of decaying leaves
and flowers, to be consigned to the tomb, over
which the autumnal breezes will hymn their sad
and mOurnful wall.
But, to follow the figure no farther. To the
thoughtful person, lover of nature there is much
to produce feelings of sadness when the words Of
the weeping prophet are heard, "the summer is en-
ded. For he remembers how sweet was the pro-
clamatian to his ear, and quickening to the pusa-
tions of his heart-"Lo! the winter is past-the
the bowling and chilling storms over and gone,
the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the
singing of birds is come, and the voice of the tur-
tie is heard in our land; the fig tree putteth forth
her green leaves, and the vines with the tender
grapes give good SMELL
The flowers have faded and mostly gone, the
singing birds have become mute and are returning
to the sunny region of the South, and instead OF
those sOulcheering songs, the air is now resoundng
with the mournful cries of expiring insects. Who
can look upon the decay of nature and not be re-
minded of his own demise?
Fit embems of human decay. We all have our
summer, the moral and spiritual seed time of life
and the apostolic injunction sounding in our ears
during summer time is, BE not deceived, God is
not Knocked, for whatever man soweth that shall
he also reap. For he that soweth to the flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption but be that SOW
eth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life ever
| lasting"
Reader, thy summer may have already culmi
mated, which of these harvests hast thou in expec
tance? Examine thysef and answer this serious
inquiry, least the language of the prophet to GOd
ancient rebellous people should be verified in tn!
! case
"The harvest is past the summer is ended, ans
| we are not saved"
