RESPECT FOR PARENTs.--If children
could realize but small portion of the anx-
iety their parents feel on their account, they
would pay better respect to the parental
wishes. A good child, and one in whom
confidence can be placed, is the one who
does not allow himself to disobey his parents
nor do anything when his parents are alb
sent. that he has reason to believe that they
would disapprove if they were present.
The good advice of parents is often so en-
craven on the heart of child, that after.
Years of care and toll do not efface it, and
in the hour of temptation the thought Of a
parent has been the salvation of a child,
| though the parent may be sleeping in the
grave, and the ocean may roll between that
Sacred spot and the tempted child. A small
! token of parental affection, borne about the
person, especially a parents likeness, would
frequently prove talisman for good. A
Polish prince was accustomed to carry pic.
ture of his father always in his bosom, and
on any particular occasion he would look
upon it and say, "Let me do nothing unbe,
coming so excellent father" Such respect
! for father or mother is one of the best traits
| in the character ola son or daughter. "Hon'
or thy father and thy mother, that it may
be we'll with thee, is the first commandment
with PROMISE" says the sacred book, and
happy is the child who acts accordingly.

girl read the secret in the young mans
eyes, and true to her heart she could only
wait and love.
One evening in 1S49 party was given al
the residence Of Mr.. Little, in Crawford
vile. There the two met once more there
they enjoyed that sweet communion born
of perfect trust; and there Mr.. Stephens
found courage to speak the words which
for years had fought for expression, until at
last he could no longer contain them.
care you sure there lives none other
whom you prefer to me?" asked the maid
en- timidly, half shrinkingly yet only toe
happy to feel that she was favored IN his
eyes.
SIN the whole universe there exists not
another" said he passionately.
Thus their trOth was plighted; the day
was set for their marriage; and all seemed
auspicious for the lovers. But clouds low
cred DER their hopes matters Of private
nature which it is not within the demand
of the public to know, intervened and de-
ferred the fruition of their hopes. The one
became immersed in politics, and racked
with physical ill hesitated to enter state
where he feared the happiness of the other
might be marred. The lady found her duty
by the side of an invalid mother, who long
fingered with a confirming disease. Thus
the years flew by; but the plighted trOtf
was kept. Mr.. Stephens never addressed
another, and ever kept the image of the fail
young girl in his heart. The lady was the
recipient of admiration from many, but to
all she turned deaf ear.
They have often met since and while the
idea Of marriage was abandoned, they felt
a sweet pleasure in each others society.
But four weeks ago the lady was at the
Mansion, and on taking leave of her old
friend, one of the chairs tripped up, an un::
favorable sign, as the Governor remarked
at the time. The lady has for years been
citizen of Atlanta, and no one is held in
more esteem for every quality which adorns
womanhood than Miss Caroline Wilkinson.

VANISHED HOURS.

nOONSs
Where are they gone, those dear dead days,
Those sweet past days of long ago,
Whose ghosts 60 floating to and fro .-.
When evening leads us through her maze!
Where are they gone? Ah! who can tell?
Who weave once more that long spell
They did exist when we were young,
We met our life with strength and trust,
We deemed all things were pure and just,
Nor knew life had a double tongue,
We lightly sang happy song,
Nor dreamed our way could e'er be wrong.
And then all Changed as life went by,
The friend deceived, or bitter death
Smiled as he drank our dear ones breath,
And would not let us also die,
Day followed day as on they went
Each took some gift that life had sent
Yet it was ours, that perfect past!
We did have days that knew no pain,
We once had friends death had not taken,
And flowers and songs that could notlast
Were ours in that most blessed time,
When earth seemed Heavens enchanted cline
" And so I think, when lights burn low
And all the house is fast asleep,
From out silence vast and deep
Those dear dead days we worshlped so,
Breathe on us from their hidden store
Their long-lost peace, their faith once more.
God keep those dear old times; and me
Beyond our vision they may rest
Till on some perfect day and blest
Once more those dear dead days will be,
For DEATH who took all, may restore
The past we loved, to us once more

CHAPTER II.
DOUBTFUL

Sir John and Lady Temple, of Temples
Court, were no longer young. But at sixty
a man should be hale and hearty still, and
fit for saddle or stubble for many day to
come. And sturdy blue eyed John was all
this. At fifty what should woman be? L
cannot say. / only know that Lady Tenn
ple was active and light hearted as many
girl in her twenties. She was little crea,
fure. barely reaching to big Sir Johns broad
shoulders, and ruled him with fairy rod OF
love and witchery yet. Her soft brown hair
was silvering fast, and gave strange tender
grace to face that bore it's look still OF
youthful espieglerie.
Morton Temple, Sir Johns heir and or
phan nephew, was almost, though not all,
that son of their own could have been 10
the warm hearted baronet and his wife; so
their anxiety in SO important matter as
that under discussion is not to be wondered
at, and my lady's little plots and plans IN

The Court, of course, was Morton Temples

the Government supposed to entail daily
attendance in the neighborhood of Downing
street, the greater part of his time was nat

HOUSEKEEPING AND COOKING.--The
science Of housekeeping deserves to be class
ed among the fine arts. 1t deserves to be
made so much a study that processes and
methods are lost and only the effect remains.
We all remember Mrs. Stoves clustering
housekeeper who saw good reason why ev-
cry one around her should be up and doing;
on Monday, because it was wash-day; on
Tuesday, because it was ironing day on
Wednesday, because it was baking-day; on
Thursday, because it was sweeping day,
and on Friday, because tomorrow would be
SATURDAY., and the same authors notable
contrast in Katy Scudder, in whose home no
one ever hurried, and where the work was
always "done up"
You consult only the dial plate of your
clock, but everything depends on the sets of
wheels out of sight. So in the model home.
A spectator would say the house kept itself,
everything seems so easy. But in house
Wifery, as in literature, results that appear
simple are often produced atthe greatest ex-
penditure of thought. Macaulay's closing
sentence on Byron is said to have cost him
| two days work; and tyro, deceived by
the smooth diction and appropriateness Of
expression of sentiment, would think he
could do quite as well himself.
Nothing but faithful thought and care
keep the dining-roOm appointments from
coming to shame, from the linen to the
walls nothing else keeps grease out of the
soup and lead out of the bread; nothing else
gives peace day and night from insect pests
or keeps the dust of ages from windows,
floors and shelves nothing else fills the
rooms with sweet air, tidy apparel, thrift
and comfort, and imparts the genial atmos-
phere of place where you would like to
stay. 1t is not too much to say that good
housekeeping is compound of chemistry,
cultivated taste, natural, mental and moral
philosophy, economy, and that most un-
common article, common sense.

MANS NEED OF THE SABBATH.-The
soul needs the Lords day for growth in the
knowledge and grace of God, our Saviour.
We have six days to provide for the body
and this life, and one day in seven is just
what we need to cultivate the spiritual ma
ture and prepare for the life to come-eter-
nifty. The home needs this day. Many
working men have no time to caress, love
and enjoy the company of their dear wives
and children except on the Lords day. Rob
them of this time and you rob them of the
chance for sweet home life. 1t is unuttera-
BILE cruelty to compel men to work on the
Sabbath, or menace them with poverty.
Alas that so many rob themselves The
Sabbath is the poor mans ''little eve lamb"
God claims for him this day. This is the
real reason we should keep it. There is no
argument so strong as "the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it," The man that this
will not reach is given over to the hardness
of heart. 1t is His to command and ours
to Obey,-E.rchdnge.
