FATHER AND SON.


over its threshold
Very well, l viii obey you to the last
hour of my life
The first Of these speakers was a man
whose life had slid beyond his fiftieth
birthday. His hair was sifted with grey,
and wrinkles had begun to gather on his
forehead He was tall, fine-Iooking and
Of commanding presence. though the veins
Of his temples were swollen with passion
As he spoke, he rose, and brought down
his clenched hand upon the table with a
blow that sent a shiyer through IT.
The last speaker was a youth, just on
the threshold Of his twentieth birthday
lie had the strong, stern features Of the
man, and the same thin, compressed lip.
bu; there was soft light in the brown eyes,
and something IN the whole face which
would have won you quicker than the old
man. : though Is was stern and livid as the
dead. As he rose and walked to the IL
brary door, and answered with these
words which sealed his dismissal from
home, and sent him out into the world
hopeless and alone, soft. eager words
streamed ike silver flowing riyulet down
the stairs, and caught the young mans ear
just as his hand was on the door-knob
Edward, Edward, where are you 60
ing?
And the next moment bounded down to
him n fair child, whose golden hair was
the color Of the dandelions which we're
just opening in the meadows. while her
azure eyes were fall Of smiles, deepencd
and confirmed by the sweet iips beneath
them
