The Angel of the House.

There is an angel in the house. No mat
ter how fallen the inmates. how depressed
tho circumstances, there is an angel there TO
pity or TO cheer. 1t may lie in the presence
Of II little child, or it may be enclosed in u
STOPPING and wrinklcd body, trcadng Tie
downward path to the grave. Or, perhaps,
IN cheerful spirit, looking upon the ills Of
lie as so many steps towards heaven, if on
ly bravely overcome, and mounted with sin
less feet. We knew such an angel once, and
it was drunkard's child. On every silc,
wherever. she moved, she only saw misery
and degradation, and yet she did not fall
Her father was brutal, and hor mother dis.
couraged, and her home thoroughly com.
fortless. But she struggled along with an.
gel endurance. bearing with almost sanity
patience, the intirmit:es Of him who gave
her existence, and then hourly cmbittered il.
Night after night, at the hours often, twelve,
and even one. barefoot, shawless, and bon
netless, has she been to the den of the
drunkards, and gone staggering homo with
her arm around her father. Many a time
has her flesh been blue with the mark Of his
hand, when she has stepped in between her
helpless mother and violence. Many u time
has she sat upon the curbstone with his
head in her lap; many time known how
bitter it was to cTy for hunger when the
money which should have bought bread
was src#: i; gin. AH,! .hc patience that
the angel wrought within made her face
shine; so that, though never acknowledged
IN the courts Of this wo:ld, in the kingdom
of heaven she WAS waited for by assembled
hosts Of spirits, and the crown Of MARTYR.
dom lay ready waiting for her young brow.
And she was martyr. Her gentle spirit
went up from n couch Of anguish-anr,i,h
brought on 10y i'll usage and neglect. And
never I'LL then did the father recognize the
angel in the child never till then did his
manhood arise from the dust Of its dishonor
From her humble grave he went away to
keep his resolves for the better in bitter
tears; and he will tell you TO day how the
memory Of her much enduring life keeps
him from the bowl how he goes sometimes
and stands where her patient hands have
led him, while her cheek crmsoned a, the
sneers Of those who scott Mt the drunkard's
child. Search for the angels in your house
hold, and cherish them while they arc
among you. 1t may be that, all uncon
sclously, You frown upon thcm when a smile
would lead you 10 II knowledge Of their ex.
ceeding worth. They may be among the
least cared for, most despised but when
they are gone with their silent influence
then will you mourn for them as for Jewel
