Taking Things Without Asking.

When was boy, was playing out
in the street one winters day, catching
rides on sleishs, and it was great fun.
Boys would rather catch rides any day
than go out regularly andsproperly to
take drive. AS was catchfhg on to-
one sleigh and to another, some times
having nice time, and ofttimcs getting
cut tron big black whip, l at last
fastened like a barnacle to the side of a
countryman's cutter
An old gentleman sat alone ON the
seat, and he looked at me rather hcBi,
nantly, as thought, and neither said
anything to me, nor swung his whip over
me, as ventured to climb upon the side
OF his cutter. Another benignant look
from the countryman, but not word
Enb"ldened by his supposed goodness, L
ventured to tumble intoahc eutter and
took seat under the waian buffalo robe
beside him. and tse:.-s !: O Ez.fsss...a=-T Tl,v
colioquy was as follows:

No, sir.
"Well, then, why did you get in ?"
"Wcll, sir, II thought you lookcd
so good and kind, and that you would
have no objection
"And so, young man, because You
thought | was good aud kind, you took
advantage of that kindness, and took a
favor without asking for it?"
Yes, sir"
as that ride worth having"
ayes, sir"
"Well, now, young man, | want to tell
you two things. You should never take

sleigh without asking me, shall tumble

"A TRUE STORY
By JOANNEs.
Several days after osmond's visit to
CHAPTER II.


Several days after Osmond's visit TO
iiia, she had entirely recovered from
her spell of sickness, except that she had
fallen off little in fest,
AS soon as her father thought her
mind sufficiently settled to receive and
properly appreciate the lecture he had
in store for her, he availed himself of
an opportunity and unbosomed his de-
termination, as to his attitude towards
tOsmond and herself.
She heard what he said without being
mpyed n. all, or expressing either by
hign or word, any regret.
in her beart she had placed our hero,
and his image, she averred, should mover
be eradicated from her bosom.
Her father left her for the second
time. He thought that the girl had
really become demented, or was laborng
under temp6Fary alteration of the
mind. and that it would be the better
part of wisdom not to trouble her iu-
mediaiey.
But if ever a watchfal anl anxious
paGent was Mistaken. as to the true con-
djtion ofa child's mind, old Mr. Oswald
was in this, instance.

Ella was not crazy, nor was she at all
inclined to lunacy.
IF her conduct seemed strange to her
father, and he could not understand it,
ne ought to have gone to work properly
to ascertain the prime cause from
which it sprang. IF he had done this,
he would have learnt that what he took
for mental disorder was nothing more
than resolute determination to follow
out the holy aud sacred dictates of love.
That whilst bis daughter had respect for
him, and desired in her heart to obey
parental authority, there was stronger
passion than that of fiiial affection which
directed her course.
Months elapsed, aud to Elias father
she appeared no better. He thought
her mind still affected. She never
spoke OF Osmond one time to him. She
seemed brooding over some horrible
thought all the while.
But it was not SO. She was only
thinking of the time when she hoped to
leave her fathers roof for the man she
loved.
AT last the day arrived. BY appoint
ment she met her lover one afternoon
along a cool, shady path, in which she
had been accustomed to stroll of even
ings.
Osniond soon led her to his carriage.
aud drove rapidly to the minister's
house, where friends were waiting to
see the marriage ceremony performed.
Before the sun had gone down beneath
the western horizon, our fair heroine was
the wife of Augustus Osmond.
a message was ssut to old Mr. Os-
walsa telling him Of her marriage. 1t
was surprising to see with what stoicism
he received this intelligence. In fact,
alter he came TO consider it, he concluded
that, perhaps, it was all lor the best, and
1t behOoved him to reconcile himself to
the change.
But unfortunately for the fair hopes of
the newly married bride, her happiness
was of short duration her dream OF
connubial bliss was short lived.
Before six months had elapsed after
tile marriage, Osmond was taken very
I'LL, and was confined To his bed many
weeks. His disease was typhoid fever.
Never did case seem so stubborn and
unwilling to yield to the influence of
medicines. At last all hopes of his re-
covcry were given up, and one bright
morning his spirit left him. The last
word he murmurcd, as his weeping wife
leant over him. was "Ella I" and he was no
more. Through all of his sickness she
administered to his wants with unremit-
ting earncstness. The grief she expe
rienced, in consequence of her husbands
death, was indeed intensely painful.
But like all earthly bereavements tn
pain, the seemingly premature death of
Osmond brought to Elias bosom, was, af.
ter awhile, assuagcd and spftened by time.
One thing, though, connected with his
.lnnth that .i- -, p,,,,
careful and unwearying attention paid
to Kim by the physician that attended
him during his illness and meeting him
afterwards she almost felt as though he
could bill the place lett void in her heart
by the death of Osmond.
So tender and so delicatey had he
sympathized with her, in her hours of
grief, that she felt like repnying him for
his sympathy by surrendering her heart
to him.
