"Ah now the Fontaines know what it is

pride will come down; now behold their
boasted cheerfulnessw But ali! how many
a true and pure heart bled for them! and
what tears ran down furrowed cheeks, as
clasned hands were held towards Heaven,
and fervent supplcations lifted to the Throne

their stately home, and saw its spendor

How spread the anguish of that loneliness

One little cottage, the only one left OF

the many pecuniary gifts which many, who
loved and reverred them, were willing, nay
anxious, to bestow upon the venerable head
Of the town"
"Our Father intends to draw us nearer
himself, by loosening and sweeping away
all earthly props" said Caspar, while be-.

TO toll with his own hands, the old man

little he had saved from the wreck Of his
property, enabled them to live frugally, yet
with comfort.
A winter day, with its wailing wind, had
passed into eternity, and left in its stead a
calm, glorious night, guarded by millions OF
stars that were almost mirrored in the

hushed as if in calm slumber, nesting amidst
the old mountains that lifted themselves in
solemn grandeur toward Heaven.
