And jet through all The busy streets

And yet the children sing and dance,
The moneymakers laugh and shout,
The stars unulindfnl. still shine bright,

And so the world goes on.
The house grows SAD hat once was gay.
The dear ones seek their Blessed Horne,
and We may watch AMI wait IN vain
To hear their weli-knoxn footsteps come
And yet the sunlight cheeks the floor.
And make The summer shadows leng.
The rose buds at The easement bloom,
The bird pours fourth his cheerful song,
And SO the world goes on
And God goes on, aud with our woe;

And so l contcmplaously dismissed
the dream of my youth, which neither
reason, nor persuasion, nor the supposed
death of its object had been able to dispel
but which vanished like worthless vapor
the momcut L was able to substitute the
real for the ideal.
Nor was this 40 strange as you may
think, my daughter
'In the days of our carly intercourse,
Antorio still retained the modest dillidenco
of extreme youth, and it concealed the real
emptiness and conccit of his character.
When you consider, too, that my own
youthfulness disqualified me from being n
Judge of character, and that my head was
full of romance, you will not wonder so
much that four years of age and sorrow,
that great maturer of the mind, should cna-
bic. me to see things in quite different
light. u....i g0.
"And now, my dear, - added my mother,
in conclusion, Il have told you my story
for a purpose, rs you have perhaps guess
cd. Surely my dear, you draw the very
natural conclusion That there arc more
Antonios than one in the world, and that
since SO clever Il woman as your mother
made in her youth so great n blunder, n
foolish little chit like you may possibly do
likewise--you understand"
Yes, mother,'' said hastily, rs jump
ed up and ran to the window, being in
dread of the ''terrble moral,n which i'm
agined was to be pressed home. Not that
l had not been much impressed and intiu-
enced by mothers confession; had; but
one docs hate to have % moral pointed at
ons-it'S so personal. .,
,' "But nother,"I continued, - won't you
tell me how you came to meet father, and
all that?'
=" Perhasp so, some day, ''slie said, smil-
ing," and ] promise you it makes II very
pretty love story, number two; but" she
added, coming up to me and laying her
hand on my shoulder, while her eyes filled
with tears, why shall not the lesson of
the past do for daughter as wcll'as mother?
l shall not have suffered in vain. Daugh-
ter, what say you? Can 1t not be 5oP".'''
Who could resist that loving, pleading
voice? l could not, but fairly melted. l
clasped my arms around that mother, and
promised wonderful things. That promise,
am pro,Nl aad happy to say, ! kept, too,
or, oh misery, might have been this day
Phil Branley's wretched wife.
