The Lost One.
L" One on earth, and onein Heaven

One on earth, and Onein Heaven"
Not the less dear is that other "one "
because it has gone to dwell in another
home than mine not the less dear be-
cause The sunny little head is no longer
pillowed upon my bosom, or that other
eyes than mine watch the unfolding Of
that being which God deemed too beauti-
full for earth. All, no still, at morn and
even, we remember the little one, whose
lie scarce seemed an hand-breadll in
duration, and though the first sweet sylla-
bles of that voice will be lisped to other
ears than mine, yet we forget not the an
gel.child who softly went 10 sleep in the
days gone by; and not less loved art
thou, daily ripening into perfect beauty
beneath the smile of God, than is the
laughing one, whose steps make music
in our household here on earth. fi4r
Oft we wonder upon what sights that
wondering gaze is resting now; whittier
those baby steps are straying, and within
whose arms the guileless spirit is folded
now. ......... t..
Precious little one for thee there was
no need of prayers; no need for tears /;
and while the yearning hear! is oft dis
quieted for the loved ones here, there is
peace in its thought of thee. For them.
in the coming years may be grief, and
toll, and pain; but there is joy-joy for
the little one at home. H 10,

CHAPTER II.

When The pupils assembled to their az
lernoon exercises, Mrs. Wilton, looking
calmly round uIon them, said in quet
tome" Has any one disobeyed my COM
mands as 10 conversng with Lucy Grey!"
juliet had not anticipated the question ;
but she scorned both laIsehood and con.
cealment, and she Instantly rose from her
seat, r .t~.Hs.ts. b "

bear to see her suffering unjustIy, and
did all could to comfort her." -...
Margaret smiled maliciously. and Lucy
burst into tears. Mrs. Wilton resumed,
"" You know. presume, the conse.
quences of disobedience,> Miss Clyde o.
RI" OH, Mrs. Wilton !" said Lucy, sob,
bing, "do not punish her She did no,
quite disobey you--she talked to my little
kitten, and never said a word to me. "
Miss Mansfield sneered and muttered
rudely--" nice way 10 come of, indeed
Another of Lucy Grey's white lies,
suppose" .a.r .,.
Juliet turned with flashing eyes towart
her" Lucy has told the simple truth.
Miss Mansfield: it would be we'll if yor
would take a lesson from her !" I'll. r
"Be silent, young ladies y said Mrs
Wilton, sternly. "This, if it be false.

guilty of to-day. Miss Clyde l am as
tonishcd that you should be willing tc
take refuge in ber weakness-ihat yor
should have talked 10 her kitten and no

Juliet's spirit was thoroughly rousee
by this unmerited charge, and with haugh
ty Indignation, she replied--" Mrs. Viii
ton, wish for no refuge from the truth
but then" she was interrupted by ;
little pale and trembling girl, who slol'
from her desk to Mrs Willon's side, ant
with halt frightened glance at Mis-
Mansfield, said in laltering voice.
"IwiIl tell you the whole truth i
you will make Margaret promise not t.
beat me-" w. ~
"What is all this :" asked Mrs
Wilton in amazement drawing the chile
toward her. "Tell me the truth a
once, my dear, nobody shall harm you TO
it." a
"WeIl, twas Margaret who took the
cherries this morning. ! saw her; anc
then she went and put the stones il
Lucy's desk, SO as TO make you think i

ever and Juliet, springing toward her,
with tears in her eyes, in defiance OF all
rule, threw her arms around her neck and
kissed her dozen times,
II knew knew she was innocent I!
I said she was-you would not believe
me |" she exclaimed,s turning reproach.
fully to Mrs. Wilton "She has told the
truth in both instances; but since you ac-
cuse me also of falsehood, L presume |
may be allowed to retire, to prepare for
my return, home by the evening coach"
So saying with rather stately, but still
respectful how, she quietly left the
room. .. s.u t.t. -r .. ... .
The young cadet was with his aunt
when Juliet approached to take final
farewell He heard it with surprise, and
he could not refrain from asking, as the
latter turned to the window 10 hide hel
emotion, what was the cause Of this sud.
den departure. In few hurried words
