Will you not, my husband ?"
His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet
smile was her answer. The Judge
left the room, and when an hour later,
he returned, and with a more subdued
manner took part in the entertainment
of the bridal guests, no one could fail
to see that he, too, had determined to
Danish the enemy at once and forever

her white hands together, and the

so seriously infringe upon the rules OF

Beautiful flowers! why are they
not in every home? There is no
dwelling into which some ray of
sunshine does not enter. The
earth is cheap; the little one may
want what can be had for asking;
and surely there are some tutored
to nail together few rough boards,
and make box for the smiling
daisies, OF the red Tipped rose
1t is a pleasure, as the toiling dame
busies herself with her arduous
duties, to see, in some cozy nook,
or on some cleanly window seat,
the pretty fragrant things speak
ing all hnconsciously of the Heav-
emily Fathers kindness in enrich
ing the dreary world-path through
which his children travel to a
better home. The heart of the
Woodworking man grows kindlier,
and softens toward the taskmaster
from whom he earns his slight
pittance, as their rich and dainty
colors feast his eyes. The little
ones are wealthy if a single velvet
leaf is bestowed upon them; for
they see nothing so beautiful out
of doors, poor things! nothing but
red bricks and damp pavements,
in whose gray and black crevices
not a blade of grass dare grow.
A little sufferer laid in a high,
dreary garret, and the beams above
his head and on every side, were
black and foul. His cheek was
scarlet with the flush of fever, and
the unnatural light of his eve
flashed in the dimness Of coming
evenings, like diamond in its
gloomy bed of anthracite. Some
thing told the child that death was
busy with his heart. It might
have been the heavy struggling
for breath; it might have been an
angel! for angels gather in bands
around the despised couch of pov-
erty. "Mother," he whispered,
and a pale, bent woman knelt be-
side him, ''nother, is there one
blown now? look, look!" For the
twentieth time the sickly woman
lifted the tiny box of violets, and
the red blood rushed to her face
as she beheld one little, creeping
bud, just beginning to unfold
She carried it to the boy, the child,
almost the infant; and asweet
smile lighted up his innocent fea-
lures.
"Put it down, mother, where
can look at it till | die" With a
wild sob the poor widow placed it
upon his pillow, and walched the
CLASSY eyes eagerly as they watch
ed the flower. Hours passed; the
brow grew whittier; the fingers
that she clasped more cIammy;
the. round lips that had so often
called her mother, more purple,
fading into a blueish white tremu-
lous, as though the failing voice
struggled for utterance. She
placed her ear closer to his little
face, and heard him utter distinct.
ly, "Good-bye, mamma; take good
care of my violets.'
And after the rough pine coffin
was carried away and covered
with the mould, while her worn
fingers were nervously stitch
ing on the ill-paid-for garment,
the spirit eyes of that mother
could see vision of beauty filling
the wretched garret with light
and loveliness, a vision of her ear
ly buried child, IN the pure white
robes of Heaven, bending above
the box of violets.

ions, he conferred with him for
some moments, and then sent him
to inform Mr.. jameson that he
would meet him next morning,
when in all probability the matter
might be compromised. This but
enraged Jameson the more. No
let it be settled tonight, and here
yes here in this very room!' he
madly exclaimed, pulling from a
breast pocket a pair of rifle-bar-
relled~pistols, and throwing them
on table before him.
Hampton's second would have
demonstrated, but Hampton check
ed him, and bade him enquire the
distance. A thrill of horror ran
through the hearts of all present
except Hampton, as jameson with
a delnoniacai smile replied
Foot TO f0Gt!'
L accede to your terms, since
YOU so eagerly thirst for by life,'
said Hampton, BOT a muscle Of his
countenance betI9ying the slight
est agitation f; but shall we not
die as we have lived, friends z he
continued, with q melancholy smile,
proffering his hand to his adversa-
ry.
No! I die on terms of friend
ship with no such base viIlian,' re-
piled jameson, grinding his teeth
with rage.
The pistols Were charged and
reluctantly placed IN their hands,
by their companions, one OF whom
was selected to give the signal to
FIRE by counting four. The mnz-
zles Of their pistols rested against
each others breast, Immediately
over the heart. Humanity shud-
dered at the spectacle, and Christ
ianity sorrowed on account Of the
insult offered her. The blood
curdled in the veins, all respira-
ton ceased, and only the heavy
! throbbings of hearts could be
heard, as a faitering voice pronoun-
ced the words,
/ One-two--three--
But before he could utter the
| last fatal word, the door was sud
denly burst open, and Anna Cuth-
bert, rushed in, and knocking up
Jameson's pistol, exclailnirg,
See. see how deeply you have
wronged your friendn At the
same time holding up before jane
sons bewildered vision his own
miniature, which he had present
ed to Joseph Hampton, as me-
mento of their friendship, and
which she, after oft-repeated soli-
citations, had obtained from him,
No sooner was jameson convin-
