sI have brought your dinner. father"
The blacksmith's daughter ssid,
AS che took from her arms a kettle
And lifted its shining lid
"There'snot any PIE or pudding,
So | will give YOU this"
And upon his tOil-worn forehead
She left a childish kiss.
The blacksmith took of his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food, .
While playing aboat him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss;
But he never thought Of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of q squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.
And l thought how many q shadow
OF life and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with such a kiss.

She broke down here, the poor little
heroine, and burst into a passion of
tears.
"My darling Milly," exclaimed
Henry, as if a sudden light had broken

my explanation? Mrs. Archer made
me promise secrecy, but she could

lady, kissed and forgaye her in the
