n SUSPICIOUS CHARAcTER.-Some months
since, city gentleman visited country
town, and strolled into the village church on
Sunday. During the service he was eleetri-
fed and gratifed by the sparkling Of a pair
of eyes which were riveted sron his face
After service, he saw the possesser of the
shining orbs leave the church alone, aud en-
boldened by her glanees, he ventured to fol-
low her, his heart aching with rapture
He saw her look behind, and fancied the
fair maiden eyinced some emotion at recor.
nizing him.
He then quickened his pace. and she ac.
tually slackened hers, as if to let him come
up with her But we will permit the gentle
man ofell the rest in his own way.
.ANoble' young creature" thought he,
her artless ard warm heart is superior to
the bonds of csstems"
He had reached within stones throw of
her. She suddenly halted and turned her
face towards him. His heart swelled to
bursting. He reached the spot where she
stood. She began to speak. He took of his
hat as if doing reverence to an angel.

The Little Frock and Shoes.

A little frock bat slightly worn,
Of blue and white deiaine,
With edging round the neck and sleeves,
Lay folded neat and plain
Beside n little pair OF shoes,
With here and there flaw,
Lay half-coneealed among the things
IN mothers burcan drawer.
Summer had passed away from earth
With all her sweetest ties
The birds had left their Summer hauHts
For more congenial skies;
The twilight brcezes swee,ly played
Among the dews of even;
An angel left his home on high,
To gather flowers for heaven.
The angel near and nearer came
Where sister sick did lie;
Then gently famed her faded check
And pointed to the sky.
The morning shone upon the bed,
The Autumn winds blew free,
The angel moved his silvery wings,
And whispered, +" come with mel
We gathered round her dying bed
With hearts to weep and pray,
And many were the tears we shed
When sister passed away.
"No idle tears had she to weep"
No sins TO be forgiven;
But closed her eyes and went to sleep
Right in the face of heaven.
We laid her in the earth's green breast,
Down by the village green.
Where gently waves the dewy grass,
And Summers flowers are seen;
And often when our mother goes
To get her things to use,
see her drop silent tear
On sisters frock and shoes.
