He had never shielded himself by in
fidelity, or defended his position by
that poorest of all excuses the faults of
protesting Christians. Whenever ad-
dressed personally on the subject as he
had often been by friends from various
parts Of the country, he had always felt
himself guilty before God, and yet lie

The blow Of the assassin did not
strike home as did that stroke of death.
But Fannie, ''sole daughter Of his
house and heart" remained and saved
that house from utter desolaton. And
now she, too, is taken. Only those
who know the Ruth-like devotion OF
the daughter, and the strong affection
of the father, can understand how this
crushing blow has shattered the Secrc-
tary's hearthstone, and put out its pure
light, TO be rekindled no more. 1t is,

WORKING FOR BEEt9.
by LIZZIE A. TODD.

by LIZZIE A. TODD.
In my Cozy Room, Oct. - 60,
DEAR SISTER LCCY:--I am weary,
O so weary, pcnning my thoughts for
so many to peruse thoughts that new
er would have developed themselves,
had they not been wrung from me BY
that crucl-hcarted monster necessity.
Pride forbids me calling it by the harsh
or name OF poverty. People talk ofme
as having gained honor and rcnown.
But what care for fame, when the ne
cessity of making my own living is
staring me blankly in the face? ..-
We know, dear sister, that had it not
been for the late misfortunes and death
of our noble parent, we never would
have been turned out to battle with
cold and heartess world. However, |
have found quiet resting place in an
upper room of hotol, whose landlady
is one of the kindest and most pleasant
creatures i'm the world, where can sit
and write undisturbed "from morn
till dewy eve."
But must not go Oh in this serious
strain, or you will think me bitterly la
menting my fate. Indeed, dear Lucy,
[ would a great deal rather earn my
own living by the "swcat of my brow"
than he poor dependent Oh my
wealthy relatives. a...# .@
] am glad that you have taken the
better choice, and concluded to "teach
young ideas how to shoot,n rather than
live with our naughty. and disagreeablc
aunt, who sneeringly said there was
nothing that tends to elevate and refine
the human mind in associating with a
set Of ragged bread and butter eating
urchins. But you know, sister, she
was brought up to think OF moth
ing but vain show. How falsely edu-
Gated! 1 think If could influence
any one to reform, i would write 4
treatise on the education Of false pride.
But am sober tonight. Why is it?
/ think it must be from over-eXertion
OF that intelligent and delicate organ
the brain. Now see you smile. sa
l am contemplating visit to your
school room, and the country general
ly, for a season Of rclief,--to rest my
mind, and invigorate my worn out
body, and also to gather some rural
gentle verse.n And knowing that 1
shall meet with a warm reception, ]
do not wait for All invitation. Till
then, / remain your absent and loving
sister, .L SUE.
