} The next day, when from her windoy
she watched the lady enter her carriage, an
drive away toward the painters rooms,
wild longing came over her, to see for her
self, the artistic whose name was on every
| lip.
| The desire grew stronger as she walked
home in the early twilight, and almost with
ont knowing it, she found herself entering
the room, brilliant with soft light, and linet
with pictures in rich frames.
The apartments seemed to be vacant, ane
she passed from one picture to another, ig
norant of the fact that the owner had enter
ed, and was intently regarding her from q
distant corner
! AT length he observed her pause before
two paintings which seemed to enchain her
attention irresistible, and which hung side
by side. He softly drew near her, and
looked over her shoulder.
The first represented rude, country
school-room, the pupils at their desks, and
the teacher presiding, with such fidelity,
that Lutte started, as she recognized the lit

ture hung here? The other was very differ

waiting TO lead him up the rocky way.
Lutte had become conscious, while con
tcmplating the scene of the presence of an
other spectator and turning, met the deep
gaze Of the painter fixed upon her, and col
ored with embarrassment. She opened her
lips to speak, but be understood the request
before she could frame it, and answered:

A Scottish Widow in the time of King

clerk of her parish crossing the churchyard
with wateripg-pot and bundle. "Ah,

way-N ardness and sometimes folly, annoyed
by dew drop, fretted by the touch of a

overpowered by the perfume Of a rosebud.
But let real calamity come, rouse her af-

her in the heat of the battle-give her a

How TO Envoy L1FE.-It is wonderful to
what an extent people believe happiness de-

est, hearty, contented labor is the only
source Of happiness, -; as well as the only
guarantee of life. The gloom of misan-
thropy is not only a great destroyer Of hap.

stroy life itself. ldleness and luxury in

WIDOWS, An exchange paper, the edi-
tor of which no doubt lately ''set up" with
a widow, goes off thus: "For the other half
of counting match there is nothing like an
interesting widow. There is as much differ
ence between counting damsel and wild
ow, as there is between oyphering in addi-
ton and the dou Bile rule of three. Counting
girl is like eating fruit, all very nice as
far as it extends, but doing the amiable to a
blue eyed bercaved one in black Grape, comes
under the head of preserves-rich, pungent,
syrupy. For delicious counting, we repeat,

How a Good Action Was Repaid

Nearly half a century ago, long before
railroads were invented, stage-coach usod
to run every day between Glasgow and
Greenoch, in Scotland. One day lady
who was travelling in this coach, noticed a
boy travelling barrfooted, and looking very
tired as he struggled to get along She
asked the coacbman to take him up and give
him seat, and she would pay for it.
When they arrived at the inn at Green
och, which is seaport town, she asked the
boy what he came there for. He said he
wished to be sailor, and hoped some ofthe
captains would engage him. She gave him
crown, wished him success, and told him
to be good boy, and try to love and serve
God
After this, twenty years passed away
One afternoon the coach was going along
the same road, returning to Glasgow
Among the passengers was sea captain
When they reached about the same spot,
just above referred to, the captain observed
an old lady on the road, walking very
slowly, and looked very tired and weary
He asked the driver to put her in the
coach as there was an empty seat, and he
would pay for her Shortly after, as they
were changing h1rses, all the passengers
got out except h. captain and old lady.
AS they were alone the lady thanked the
captain for his kindness, in giving her a
seat, as she was unable to pay for one. He
said he had always felt a pity for poor, tired
foot-travelers, for twenty years ago when he
was boy, travelling on foot near this place,
some kind-heartcd conan ordered the coach
man to take him up, and paid for his seat.
I remember that very well,' said she, for

much changed. Then l was very we'll off,

It is authoritatively stated that the King
of Siam offered an elephant to the Hon. W.

courteously but reluctantly refused to accept
this small token Of disinterested but royal
friendship and graciousness.

Poetry.
The Step on the Stair.

How neatly and loving, in the following
verses, has some one expressed the thought that
springs daily from many heart while waiting
patiently for ''The Step on the Stair:''
Twilight is coming, and work is DER,
And | am quiet free from all care;
silently, patiently watch, and l wait
For the sound of the step on the stair.
'Tis a welcome sound to my listening ear,
And my heart beats quick and fast;
For know that my darling returning to me,
And the toll of the day is past.
Baby is sleeping within his warm nest,
The tea-kettle sings with loud glee
Nearer the sound of the step on the stairs
Husbands come home to his tea.
He comes and I'm happy; my heart is at rest
I've no trouble, nor shadow of care,
How he laugh when I tell him watch and
wait
For the sound of his step on the stair.
