When the lessons and tasks arc all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather aroond me,
To bid me good night and be kissed;
O, the little white arms that encirclc
NV neck in a tender embrace;
O, the smiles that are haloes OF Heaven,
Shedding sunshine Of love on my face.
And when they are gone, sit dreaming
OF my chiIdhoo too loycly TO last;
or love that my heart will remember,
While it wakes to the pulse Of the past,
Ere the world and its wickcdncss made me
partner Of sorrow and sin,
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory OF gladness within.
O, my heart grows weak as a 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 thfm,
OF the tempest OF fate blowing Wild;
O! there's nothing on earth half 80 holy
As the innocent heart of n child.
They are idol. Of hearts and Of households; ;
They are angels OF God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresscs;
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes.

They have made me more manly and
mild.
And know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom OF God to q chIld.

to boarding school until she can learn,
Oh her return home, 10 appreciate
your qualities as they deserve. II
Will be a severe lesson, but think she

''Not for the world, Edward ~
eagerly pleaded Mrs. Cramfort. "FOr
my sake, dearest, let us strive longer
yet TO win her heart. I know how
she breads the very idea of board
ing school. She is too good, too no.
ole, too ingenious to be subjected to
the trials that she would encounter

her husband, tenderly; "but you

Cramfort. eff / am ever to penetrate
into the depths Of her affection it must
be by my own efforts. And"
She paused, for at that instant
servant entered to request Mr.. Cram
forts attendance in the reception
room. And when she was left alone,
she sat gazing out into the twilight,
with a moisture in her eyes that made
quivering rings around the first pale
stars, whose light was beginning to
glow in the purple horizon.
'If she would once call me by the
sweet name of mother" broke almost
invOluntarily from her lips.
"M0theF!"
Was it tremulous echo Of her own
words, or was it az actual utterHnce
spoken close to her?
''Mother! my darling motherp
Mrs. CramfOrt clasped the slender
young figure close to her bosom, al
most fearing it was a dream.
81 have heard you and papa talk

SCENT 4 as if a veil fell from my eyes.
People have taught me TO distrust
you-to look on you as one who

away from me- | have fancied you a
cold and scheming steP-mother.-I
Until this moment never knew how
sweet and noble you were"
''My daughter!" murmured Mrs. !
Cramfort, tcnderly.
'I had left my fan in the ante room, !

When Edward Cramfort re-entered |
the library he found Olivia kneeling |
ut Madeline's side, her head resting |
On her step-mother's lap, while Made !
lines jeweled fingers strayed slowly |
the Young girls golden hair.
He paused in astonishment; but his |
wife looked up with radiant smile,
saying:
