were clasped around her neck, and little Net
tie was kissing the tears from her cheek
"Oh, mama! Nettie has been SO wicked; you
can never love her again." and the little re-
penting one looked timidly into her eyes.
The young mother did not speak; she
pressed the child still closer to her heart, and
silently thanked God that he had answered
her prayer
She little suspected that the husband and
father had witnessed this scene. He stoop-

For the Grand River Times.
THE YOUNG STEP P-MOTHER

"No, no! will not love you! do not
love papa for bringing you here! You are
not my mama; my mama is buried up in
the ground! o, my poor, dear mamal" and
the little lips quivered, and sigh came up
from that little trembling heart.
"I put some pretty flowers on her grave
this morning, and l will 60 and sit there now,
so that no naughty children may take them
away" and the child-mourner went forth in
the soft moonlight to weep, alone, by her
mothers grave.
Mournfully the eyes of the step-mother
followed that little receding form, until it was
lost among the green foliage.
"Poor Nettie" said she, "how lonely
and desolate must be that little heart of thine !!
o, if you would only let me love you! if
you would let me weep with you"
Mary Lane had not been unacquainted
with grief Many a bright summer had shed
its light and scattered its flowers over her
mothers grave; and many time had the
gentle night-queen seen her weeping there.
She loved the sorrowing child that Provi-
dence had placed under her care; but in vain
she sought to tighten the burden of grief that
was pressing on her little heart; the child
still mourned, and refused to be comforted
Hope almost died in her heart, that night,
when little Nettie declared "she would not
love her." but she determined to make one
more effort; and raising her heart to her
Heavenly Friend for his holy influence to di-
rect her. and soften the heart of the child,
she directed her steps towards the "consecra-
ted dell"
1t was a sad, sad picture; one from which
an angel might turn sorrowing away. Lit
tie Nettie, kneeling on that grassy mound,
her tiny hands clasped tightly over her heart
her sweet, fearful face raised towards heaven.
1t was picture of childhood's first sorrow,
plainly defined in the soft moonbeams.
AS she approached, low sob broke the
death stiffness, and that sweet voice came
forth like wall on the night air: "Oh,
mama mama! come and take Nettie away
she can not live here now, with no one to
love herw
Oh, how the heart of that young step
mother yearned to take that little trembling
form in her arms, and tell her how much she
loved her; how she longed to make her happy.
She did not approach the child, but sat
down in the shadow of wide-spreading tree
and commenced singing, in her low, sweet
voice:
" Dear little Nettie, thy father still loves thee;
He waits for thee now meath the shade tree
| alone;
He is sad, very sad when his daughter is weeping;
o, smile, little Nettie, and gladden. his home
Weep not. little darling, weep no more for thy
| motherl
God in his goodness has called her above
He thought 1t kindness to give thee another;
Say not little one, that you have nothing to love
Come away, darling, come! the night shades are
i falling,
And laden with dew is the cool evening air;
Come, leave off thy weeping, and list to my call
ing;
Come away to thy home, thy father is therep

A western correspondent of Zion's Herald,
in describing the stingy habits of the people
Of his ilk, when called upon to assist in be-
nevolent works, relates the following amusing
story
One of our friends, generous North Car
Gilman, was called on by railroad agent,
who was soliciting stock along the line. He
had a fine farm and plenty Of money, and
listened with an animated countenance to the
glowing detail of blessings likely to be realiz-
ed from the proposed railroad. The agent
made an elegant palaver, and thought he had
won our friend and his money, when he sud-
denly got his eye teethcut in this wise
"Why, yes" said the good old farmer,
know it is wonderful, it must be a powerful
thing, them air railroads--they run like Je-
hu. Surely, I 60 in for it; subscribe some
thing oilers to sich things"
"How much stock will you take, sir 2" said
the elated solicitor.
"Why, you may put me down fifty cents, y
was the magnificent reply.
