cake The FURNISHED silver ana cut
glass of the ho-lehe had just left never
looked half 20 beautiful, and with a
full heart he bowed his silver head
ant as-ed Gods blessing on their even
ing meal.
An old-time f. nd was asked in to
spend the evening, and lively con
versation was sustained till long after
his customary hour for retiring. he
seemed ten years younger when he
took his place at breakfast next morn
ing. "Are we too early for You, sir?"
said George; II was little afraid we
were"
mot bit, l never sleep q wink
,, after five o'clock, Early rising is all
important to young people just setting
out in life, and l am glad you have
the habit"
When the meal was ended the morn
ing hy1Ln was sung, and an earnest
prayer for Gods direction and protect
ing care through the day was offered;
then the youAg physician atarted on
his daily round.
II give the little home into your
charge to-day, grandfather. Don't let
Katy get lonely or work top hard
scrubbing imaginary dirt off the wood
work" he added with smile at his
wifes scIup'llous neatness. "If the
gardener should come, could you talk
with him little, and direct about the
plan of the garden9 Kate does not
K ow much about such things, be-
Il e."
II should delight to do it?" said the
old man, bright smile coming into
his face at the idea of his possibly be.
ing of any service in the world again;
II was q master-hand at making gar
den in my day"
The day was warm and bright, and
the old man spent most of it cut of
o. Sc 'perintending the Englishman's
etations, VINO listened respectfully
to all his suggestions, and obeyed
them str city. The days work was
most satisfactory on all sides, and
when night ca.he, kates delicious tea
was taken with relish he had not
known for months, and his sleep was
sound and sweet.
All Summer long the garden was his
pride and pleasure. The care Of the
b Is vas assu.ned by him, and the
satisfaction with which he brought
Katy the earliest vegetables Of the
,caSon, it made the Ii usehold happy
to witness. When George came home
at sunset it was such source of Joy to
have him and Katy walk around the
beds, and admire the results of his skill
and care. Then, too, the neighbors,
Us they passed, loved to stop a little
while, and leaning their folded arms
against the railing, talk with the chez
ry old gentleman about his beautiful
garden, and tell him what "likely,
promising young man" his grandson
was. AID how the people loved and re-
spected him.
La short. he had just the home he
needed to make his old age peaceful
and happy. katy's infinite tact never
allowed his mind time Tor gloom, or
for feeding on itself, but would ever,
apparently without an effort, start
some pleasant train of thought, which
should divert it from melancholy
channel. He was loved most deeply
and tenderly, and treated with respect
and Difference due to his years. The
sweet country, and the constant sun
shine in his breast, made him grow
young and hale again, and the sunset
of his life was one long, gentle, summer
twilight.
