| was slow, though very hard work; and
lit was not until the greater part of the
house and its contents were destroyed,
that the fire was got under. Oh, it was
sad to see the sorrowful fHce of Eddie s
papa, as he thought how long it would
be before they should see their home
look as it had done! and as they were
not rich people, they grieved for their
losses too.
But where was Eddie? In a little
room over the stable, strewed with hay
and straw, were the mother had fled
with her children.
She was only half-dressed now, ten
derly bandaging the poor burnt arm
ayd hand of her dear little baby. The
little face was sadly scorehed and the
bright curls nearly all gone and a moan
of pain often broke from her pale lips.
On another heap of hay lay the sob
stood bv, looking very sad, for their
room was quite destroyed and they had
lost everything.
Presently Eddie's papa came in.
"It is all out now. Let us thank the
good Lord that our lives have been sa-
ved.''
And there teey all knelt and tearfully
gave thauks to the Father in heaven that
His mercy and pity had spared each pre-
cious life.
Eddie felt his heart would break as he
stood in the midst of them all and told
them what he had done and how sorry
he was. Now he knew he had been
naughty; now he knew why his heart
had been heavy ever since he left John
in the field.
All. he had kept the match box and
had lighted a larger bonfire than ever he
wished to see again.
The next day papa took them all to
stay some months with Grandma, while
their home was put right again; and
when dear little Dolly's hand was heal
ed, when the pale face was rosy and the
curls once more sunny and bright, papa
mamma, Eddie and Dolly again went
back to their home; but never, as long
as he lived, did Eddie forget the scream
in the night, or the bright glare in the
room so dark before.
Little folk, kept in safety by the good
hand of God. strive to learn Eddie's les
son without Eddie's pain. Never have
secret from mother and never, night
or day, in the house or out of the house,
make plaything of the beautiful, the
dreadful fire.

CHAPTER XI.

My brother had nearly reached hi:
| three score years. The latter half o.
them he had had a peaceful uneventfu
life. l will pass it over rapidly, for il
seems to me now as if the years had flee
| like lightning, and as if it were bu
| Yesterday that he was young man-the
young man who married Mariory.
And now he was an old man, wheeled
| about in a garden chair. looking for ali
| his pleasures, amusements, comforts.
| TO the one companion who never failed
hin-his daughter Margaret.
Until the age of sixty he was brave,
| sturdy English gentleman; the boldest
hunter, the keenest shot, the most
active and the justest justice in the
whole county. Sickness came and
changed his whole existence. He be-
came an invalid for life. His family
gradually grew accustomed to the fact,
and all went on as though he were a
mere adjunct of the household, to be
tenderly treated, and paid great atten-
ton to when they could spare time. But
the true head of Manor Place was Mrs.
Reid.
They were rather a fractions family,
especially when the sons and daughters
grew up; between them and the ener-
getic mother storms often arose. Never
with the father. His study, with Mar
garet and his books beside him, was the
sanctuary of the house.
Margaret has often told me. that did
the children bring never so many COM
plants, his constant command was-for
his least entreaty had the weight of a
command-'Respect your motherv
sObey your mother Bear with your
mother, she has much to bear.' And to
the mother herself-though well as she
Iovv4 r. II, IL.
none ever heard him give harsh, un-
kind word.
L believe through all his life, in all
his conduct toward her, the one idea
pursued him-of his duty to atone to
this woman, who loved him, for all the
anguish he had caused to the other.
Charlotte he said to me, one day
looking after Mrs. Reid as she sailed
smilingly from under the walnut shade
where we were sitting, Il think l have
made her happy
Papa murmured Margaret's fond
voice behind him, you make everybody
happy
1t was true. One 1 knew-one who
had been dead more than thirty years
would have rejoiced to see into what
perfection his character had grown
how the faults of his youth had melted

year by year. And could she have
seen all this, surely her pure heart
| would have said, what matter if he were
no longer hers? What matter if she
| and her poor life were totally forgotten,
| SO that he thus nobly fulfilled his life,
| faithful to himself and to his God?
But she was not orgotten-Alwyn
and l often spoke of her when we were
alone. Ay, and sometimes to his chill
dren-to his eldest and dearest child he
| would speak (and without any sacrilege
to their mother, and his own good
wife) of the girl who was his friend
when he was little more than a boy-oi

were born. Margaret said to me once

her heart and soul, whose influence had

character, had been her fathers firs1

who despise virtue in rags, because of

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.
BYH. W. LoNGFELLow-

When the hours of day are numbered.
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul, that slumbered,
To holy, calm delight.
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the ftful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall,
Then the forms Of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved-the true-hearted-
Come to visit me once more.
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
By the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore.
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with us on earth no more.
And with them the being beautcous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else, TO love me,
And is now saint in heaven.
With a slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine.
Takes the vacant chair beside me.
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me
w lGn tHOee uecp anu ttuutf eyes
Like the stars. so still and saintlike,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended.
Is the spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips of air.
O, though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If but remember only
Such as these had lived and died.

In recent article reviewing the busi-
ness failures of The past year aud the
causes that led to them, the Boston Conn
Dsercidl Bulletin holds the following
views, which are about right; The fact
that the panic did carry down these large
houses and that when they fell they in
volved the business of the country in
temporary disaster, makes it desirable
for men engaged in buying and selling
merchandise to inquire how it is possi-
BILE to remove their legitimate lines of
business from such connection with
stock speculation that when disaster
comes to the latter the former will not
be involved.
1t is desirable that the importance of
that question should be impressed upon
business men and that so far as possible
there should be an entire separation OF
stock speculation from other lines of busi-
ness. The dealer in merchandise cannot
afford to do his banking busines with
those who are speculating in stocks, His
interests are entirely different and he
cannot, in justice to himself or his cred
itors. allow his money to be used in spec
ulative operations. Let spectators make
common cause with each other and take
care of themselves. This business men
owe to themselves not only on account of
NlS pocSioiiitN th0t pdflkS WIFI De
disabled by adverse results of speculation
but because even successful stock specu-
lations affect injuriously the markets for
other merchandise. An unwholesome
commercial atmosphere is generated
which produces a condition OF disease
through the entire mercantile communi-
ty. The feverishness, restlessness. love
of excitement, disatfection with leSiti-
mate gains and dislike of reliable busi-
ness rules, habits and customs. spread
from Wall street throughout the entire
county, sapping commercial morals and
hazirding the foundations of sound COM
mercial prosperity. The successes OF
speculation are often more disastrous
in the end to sound business than are
their failures, and in either case mer
chants will best serve their own inter
ests by securing, as far as possible. a
withdrawal of their money from the
hands of those who themselves speculate
or who loan the money of their custom-
ers for venture in Wall street.

GETTING EvEN.-At the second trial
of Walter Motiett, in Portland, last
Friday, for assault upon one of the fe-
male raiders, his attorney had twenty
three subp9nas issued for a lot of
preachers who have been urging them
on, together with several Methodist
Sunday School teachers of the male sex.
Tie officer held the subpenas until the
morning of the trial, repairing to the
Railroad depot on the opposite side of
the river, quietly waited until the par
ties were in the act of stepping on to
the cars, on picnic excursion, when
he arrested them by readinr the sum-
mons to appear forthwith before Justice
Crich's Court, away back in the upper
part of the city of Portland. 1t is said
their looks of surprise and disappoint-
ment are more easily Imagined than de-
scribed. They were kept before the
Justice almost the entire day and were
not called upon at all during the trial.
Moffett was acquitted and the jury rec.
commended that the costs be taxed
against the prosecution, the complaint
being malicious, but the Justice re-
fused to do so, and the county had to
foot the bill. -PoHland Nprs.
