-" Beware, Nellie, how you triAe where
the heart is involved. Supposing even
that Hugh Emerson is deeply in fault,
is there no blame to be attached to you
Are you so faultless that, ON his part
there is no call for forbearance. Nellie,

few, and even for those who are blessed

well-known as a summer resort for enjoy

1t was night, but the bright moonlight
displayed well, and to no disadvantage,
the calm, beautiful face of the first speak
er. She was tall,-7middleaged perhaps,
though it was hard to say whether the
years passed through had been many, or
whether 50 fraught had they been with
sorrow and suffering, that the faint lines
upon the broad brow were those imprinted
there by chre or by time. III, ST.
The larse soft black eyes now dreamily
rested far away across the broad expanse
of water, but her thoughts had wandered
further stlll-r-back back into the past
Her beautiful black hair was arranged in
glossy aids; and as Nellie Landon look
ed up and wondered why that expression
Of intense sadness had fallen upon her
cousins face, she almost fancied that the
moonlight cast halo around the perfect
head. 7aj5sl 1taq ~ s5,rra "a -aIrs !,
Nellie Itandon was a fair type of the
fashionable lady of nineteen, in this nine-
teenth century ; not unlike Mrs. Walthall
or Cousin Annie in appearance although
instead of the dark eyes and darker hair
Of Mrs. Walthall, Nellie's eyes were 0:
the hue of the violet; and her ihair of that
beautiful shade of brown on which the
sunlight ever seems to rest. q o4.na d e
iiGE Undoubtedly the bell fof the season.
Nellie was notia little spoiled by the adj
miration and adulstion received from all
and the little spark of coquetry which had
hitherto -lain dormant in her heart had
suddenly burst into a fame, threatening
nowto mar the happiness of more than
one besides herself so that Mrs. WAlthall,
under whose protection she was, deemed
1t best to demonstrate little on the evl
ident estrahgement between her fairiyounc
relative and Hugh Emerson, to whom she
was betrotlled.

and his soul is at rest. Can you wonder
now that l tremble when l see others
thoughtlcssly treading the paths which to
me ended in such bitterness?
&C Your misunderstanding now may be
slight, but remember my after years of suf-
fering in consequence of one as slight. If
Hugh Emerson comes again to offer any
explanation of his conduct, be just enough
atleast to listen with an unpreiudiccd heart,
and if you, too, have been in fault, do not
let your pride prevent an acknowledge

The next evening, as Mrs. Walthall was
alone on the same balcony, she smiled as
she saw below her on the beach Hugh and
Nellie, with such happy faces that she well
knew-even before Nellie had given lit
tie nod of satisfaction. as she caught a
glimpse of her Cousins face-that all was
as it should be and with bowed head and
hands pressed upon her aching heart, she
returned thanks that she had been the in
strument in the hands of the Almighty for
preventing sin. like hers, one little ray of
happiness lighted up her calm and lovely
face.

THE CHILDREN.
BY CHARLES DICKENS,

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed;
Oh the little white arms that encircle l.
My neck in the tender embrace, b.
o the S miles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
Of love that my heart will remember,
While II wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin:
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
o my heart grows weak asa woman's,
And the fountains of feeling will flow,
When think of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet Of the dear ones must go;
Of the mountains of sin hanging DER them
OF the tempests of Fate blowing Wild
o there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of child |
They are idols of hearts and Of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes.
Oh these truanls from home and from Heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild
And know now, how Jesus could liken
The Kingdom of God to child.
! ask not a life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
i would pray God to guard them from evil,
- Bnt my prayer would bound back to myself
All seraph may pray for IA sinner.
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bended, .-.. .....
have bani, ned the rule and the rod
have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness of God
Ny heart is a dungeon of darkness,
Where shut them for breaking rule;
My frowIl is sufficient correction
My love- is the law of the school.
shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more;
All how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the dOori
] shall miss the "gOod nights and the kisses
And the gush Of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
l shall miss them at morn and at eve
Their song in the school and the street,
shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And tfetramp Of their delicate feet, 9.
When tht lessons of life are all ended, -
And death says, g The school is dismissed y
May the little ones gather around ME,
To bid me good night and be kissed.
