THE OUTCASB.

CHAPTER I.

CHATTER I.
1t was strange scene. On one side stood Il
dark but beautiful Indian servant girl, clasp
ing to her heart Il little child of three years of
age, who seemed clinging to her for protection
Opposite the pair young barrister of
high family of the name of st. Leger. Near to
him seen the honest, open countcnance of
Capt. Thornton, who had%ately commanded
the ship which had brought the child and
nurse from India.
listened rrr+-rrfrr curiosity
and interest To the passionate exclainatioffs o1
the Indian, who in broken English lameHted
that not n roof would give shelter to the help
less babe in her arms. AT times, when at a
loss to fully express her feelings, the girl
would break forth in her own language, whose
eloquence made Capt. Thornton brush away a
tear which glistened III his eye; for, notwith-
standing his rough, sailor-like exterior he
possessed kind heart, which now seemed
softened into deep pity for the young Asiatic
and her infantile charge.
MY family will neither acknowledge. nor
receive the child, nor even allow it to bear
namc," said Mr. st. Leger.
"Why" inquired the girl who now
seemed to understand perfectly what lie was
saying.
Both Mr., ST: Leger and the captainnow hes
itatcd They knew not exactly how to explain
to the Indian that the child she held jim her
arms must expiate the faults of its parents
''Was your brother, Col. st. Leger, aware OF
the opposition his family would make ~ again
inquired the girl. "Do you not know that its
mother is dead :"
mothers being dead does not much alter the
case. My brother was wrong i'll writing about
it at all to his family. If he wished the child
to receive an English education, he need not
have applied to his proud sisters about it, and
so made them its enemies already"
"Enemiesl How can the poor babe have
enemies |" passionately nterposed the girl.
In sOOth, it did seem strange that the feeble,
tiny, delicate being nesting to her bosom
could have enemies. How easily could so fra
gile thing have been crushed Nay, its very
life seemed to hang thread.
Capt. Thornton now turned to the girl and
said some words of explanation in Hindostanee
The next moment the Indian had sunk on the
ground with sObs that seemed to rend her in
most heart whilst they shook her slight, grace
full form.
"what did you say7' eagerly asked NIr. St
Leger
''The truth" returned the captain, (which
it appears the girl did not know before, or she
would not take SO. Norma, Monna," con
tinued the kind-hearted sailor, " don't grievC
now, don't. Whatever the mother may have
been, must say, sir, that the nursery maid !,
as good q creature as ever lived. You SHOULD
have seen her care of the little one on board
Every one liked her and she would not lack {

Never, never" almost shrieked the girl

Leger gave her to me, and only into his hand

CHAPTER II.

The Indians soon became domesticated i'll the
school.
Norma, with her strange but gentle ways, in
gratinted herself with all the household,
whilst Cecila's delicate health made her be
petted like a baby. The school girls laughed
ut, whilst they corrected, Monnas broken Eng
lsh, and taught her to sit upon1 char instead
sir14cfr-, heI +a1la4aeE--
Her dress also underwent q thorough trans
formation. She laid aside her Indian costume,
and adopted close-htting dark mcrino gown,
which showed her cXquisitely formed figure to
still greater advantage. No persuasion, how
ever could induce her to try stays even the
light French ''corset" was thrown asidei her
falling shoulders and slender waist were con-
fined only by the body of her dress, which the
aHOdistc took real pride in making, for she
said she had never before seen SO perfect
form. Norma was very dark in complexion;
but the contour of her face was faultless as that
of a Greek statue, to which her mode OF dress
ing her hair gave her a further resemblance
for it was simply braided in front, and drawn
up into a large knot behind her head. She
was not treated n servant, and had her
meals apart yet she was not either on level
with the lady teachers. Such as was her posi-
tion she was contented and happy; for 1t left
her leisure to watch Cecilia'S every look and
step. Monna's whole life seemed bound up in
that of her nursing. The watchful hand was
! ever ready with the silk handkerchief to wrap
round the tender throat when the blast was too
rough. The eager eye instantly caught the
dropping expression of tho infantine face or
marked the faded hue of the little check. At

medical adviser of the school and 'bFought him
to her darling The good doctor said Cecilia
WAS delicate exotic plant which required n
hand as careful as Monna's to rear into health.
~ Perhaps there never was n little girl happier
at school than the outoast.z She was the gen
eral darling, and strange to Say, Monna was

bright smile beamed upon il and made it for
get it's momentary sorrow. Even Mass Thorn
ton relaxed her rigidity whennsho watched
Norma playing with Cecilia. There was one
point, however, in which she and the Indian
were sorely at variance. Miss Thornton wished
to convert Norma, who listened quietly enough
bnt always obstinately adhered TO her Mohan
metan creed.
Notwithstanding some little passing clouds
years gently and happily rolled away on the
outcasts, and both progressed in every respect
Norma gradually became sensible and vel
informed woman, speaking English correctly
and even elegantly, for she was present a
every lesson that was given to Cecilia, who
had learnt her letters on her faithful nurses
knees.
Col. ST. Legcr duly informed of hi
child's improvement by mysterious scrolls tina
Norma wrote to him i'll Arabic characters
! which proved that in her own country the CIR

will resign her. No power on earth shall
separate me from Ceeilia" And the Indian,
still sobbing, pressed the child closer to her
breast.
Nobody shall take the child from you,' said
the barrister compassionately, for he was moved
at the affection of the young nurse for her
charge, "my brothers orders strict enough
on that point. am Cecilias uncle, and though
the family will not receive her, will protect
her; only own l do not know where to take
you both"
"As to that" replied the captain, 81 have a
sister who keeps school. Perhaps she would
not refuse to take them, though the little one
can't yet learn anything"
BY this time Norma had recovered her COM
posure, and turned a thankful eye towards the
captain.
Cecilia will never want whilst l have life, even
should her father forsake her. Ay, those hands
| shall be worked to the bone ere that child shall
know want" She held up her small hands
with an expressive gesture, yet these elegant
taper fingers seemed i'll calculated to enable
her to gain by hard work her daily bread.
All, did we fear man less and God more, how
would the raulSs of the battle of life open be-
fore us! All, doubt it not, the compact batta-
lions viii give way before the determined pur-
pose, the unswerying pursuit, the aim that
points to heaven
That little outcast child, even to the two
men now regarding it with compassion, seemed
fully protected by poor servant girl herself
an outeast from station, wealth, power, all that
command respect. -
swell, sird said Captain Thornton, /" I told
you Norma was fine-spirited girl, and the lit
tie one is safe in her hands" 49,. .. ...r
The above scene took place in an hotel where
Capt. Thornton had conducted the servant and
child on landing in London, and where Mr.. st.
Leger on receiyftIg iGtimatiOn of their arrival,
had gone to meet them.
1t was now resolved that they should all go
directly to Miss Thornton's establishments.
Miss Thornton was a worthy old maid, very
different in every respect from her sailor broth
err, and the very type of q stiff school-mistress.
At first she seemed averse to receiving so young
a child with SO outlandish nursery maid, but
the premium which his brother authorized Mr..
ST. Leger to pay high that it silenced
her scruples.
Norma and her charge were accordingly in
stalled in room set apart for them.
| Mr.. st. Eeger shook Capt. Thornton's hand
most cordially for having helped him out of a
dilemma.

God the Father sendeth blessings
Not alone unto the good
But the sunshine and the shower

God the Saviour spoke in accents
Reaching to the hearts deep core.
When he babe the trembling sinner
Go in peace and sin no more.
God the Comforter deseendeth
With celestial healing balm,
Bindeth mp the broken hearted,
Makes the troubled spirit calm
So may we 60 forth, around us
Scattering blessings meath our tread;
With our love like God the Fathers,
Shed upon the guiltiest head. A. ,-.

All that love our risen Saviour,
