CHAPTER IT.

Miss Warren turned to her new duties
with earnestpess. She labored faithfully;
and it seemed, to me, that her toll became
a sort Of shield betwixt herself and the
bitter memory Of great woe. Ere the
snow fell, every one in Chipdale, from the
little school girl to the old woman in her
cushioned chair, had learned to regard
Miss Warren with loving pity. That
the new teacher had some blighting sor-
row upon her young heart all knew; what
that sorrow was, none might judge.
"Now, Fanny, knock very softly at Miss
Waren's door; and when you give her
this tea, tell her | sent it to her, and that
it will do her good; and Aunt Esther
placed in my hands the little tray, and sat
down to her sewing. 3D..
"Stay with me awhile, Fanny. | am
SO lonely"
l was turning to go down stairs again,
but when Miss Warren spoke, I shut the
door. i
"Oh, Miss Alice, you have been crying!
Are you very sick? Can l do anything
for you? anything to make you happy?'
and l knelt down beside her.
"Can you do anything for me? Poor
child, you make me smile. Why, Fanny,
can you lift mountain from its place
You cannot. Well, then, just as soon
can you or any other being take this sor.
row from my heart" "
"God can, Miss Alice" I whispered
half frightened by the wildness Of hel
manner. Fl.
Gknow it." she replied; and it is this
THIS alone"-touching her little Bible
which can ever give me the least ray O.
comfort"
Then my young teacher leaned her heat
upon my shoulder and cried; and when a
last her sobs were stilled, she raised he
eyes to mine. aesgt@i ~.

SUB RosA.-Thc origin Of the phrase
"sub rosa" implies secresy, and had its
origin during the. year B G, ATT, at which
time Pausanias, the commander of thecon-
federate feet, was engaged in an intrigue
with Xerxes, for the marriage ofhis daugh-
ter, and the subjugation Of Greece to the
Median rule. Their negotiations were
carried on in building attached to the
Temple Of Minerva, called the brazenh house,
the roof Of which was garden forming q
bower Of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secresy, was
literally matured under the rose, Twas
discovered, however, by slave; and as
the sanctity Of the place forbade the Athe-
mans to force Pausanias out, or kill him
there, they finally walled him m, and left
MIN to die Of starvation. 1t finally grew
to be a custom among the Athehians to
wear roses in their hair whenever they
wished to communicate to another secret
which they wished to be kept inyiolate,
Hence the saying, sub rosa, among them,
and now also among almost.all Christian
nations. ssE .af atA she

sagaoitH Of the Northern Bears.

On one Occasion, "a bear was seen toswim
cautiously to rough piece Of ice, on which
two female. .walruses were lying asleep with
their Cubs. The willy animal crept up
some hummocks behind the party, and with
its fore foot loosened large block of ice;
this, with the help Of his nose and paws,
he rolled and carried until Immediately
over the heads of the sleepcrs, when he let
it fall on one of the old animals, which was
instantly killed. The other walrus, with
its cubs, rolled into the water; but the
younger one of the stricken females re-
NAMED by its dam; upon this helpless
creature the bear now leaped down, and
thus completed the destruction Of two an
imals which it would not have yentured
to attack openly. y x
The stratagcms practiced in taking large
seal are not much less to be admired
These creatures are remarkably timid, and
for that reason always lie to bask or sleep
on the very edge of the pieces Of floating
ice, so that on the slightest alarm they can
by one roll tumble themselves into their
favorite element, They are exceedingly
restless, constantly moving their heads
from side to side, and sleeping by very
short maps. AS with all wild creatures
they turn their attention to the direction Of
the wind, as if expecting danger from that
quarter. The bear, on seeing his ihten,
ded prey, gets quietly into the water, anc
swims until he is leeward sf him, from
whence, by frequent short dives, he silent.
ly makes his approaches, and so arrangei
his distance that at the last dive, he comes
up to the spot where the seal is lying. i
