You built for him, and he will rise again in
manhood strong"
Then all of Beulah Hill rejoiced, fear of con-
tagion passed.
a nd people girded up their loins and came
to him at last
While now there was no lack of care, and ey-
cry kind attention,
The post OF danger passed, became a bone of
mild contention.
Eleanor Livingstone henceforth from his
side staid away
But sent him choice and fragrant flowers to
81 cheer him day by day,
Until at last the glow of health suffused his
manly face;
Then they, too, ceased, and left of her with
him no outward trace.
But ever in his ears there rang the music of
her voice,
And the fond mem'ry of her face still made
his heart rejoice.
And SO it came to pass that he began to climb
Toward her home; the exercise was good for
one late i'll.
With kind and cordial greeting she met him
at the door,
And every day she looked to him still fairer
than before
While gossip, AROUSE eyed. kept watch, and
noted that his stay
Within her house continued to grow longer,
day by day.
And IN the sewing circle fast and furious
wagged each tongue
Some said they guessed he liked the way the
giddy creature sung,
While others said his chances for converting
her were slim:
Quoth Mira MIX, More like she'll make a
heathen outer him."
One day when the young pastor and Eleanor
were alone.
The formers voice and manner assumed a
tender tone,
And then before she realized his purpose he
declared
His love, and asked if toward him such sentf-
ments she shared.
With simple. earnest eloquence the pastor
pressed his suit;
She listened close with downcast eyes, at
tentlve, calm and mute;
He told her OF his future work, his hopes aud
plans in life,
And asked her to unite her lot with his and
be his wife.
She turned smiling face to him, and then
withdrew her hand,
Said she, ~ our worth, sincerity and truth
understand,
And in my heart know full well that you
have woR place"
She paused, the sutton felt that he had surely
won his case.
But love balls and Dances said she, land
stylish dress,
And all those things that preachers call but
sinful foolishness;
You ask me to forego all these, my pleasures
in this life,
And take the uneventful lot of country par
sons wife,
And then her face grew very grave and earn
est as she said
I'm some things we are far apart, therefore
we should not wed;
Hove the world its pleasures all are dear unto
my heart
Those pleasures which you preach and know
have in my life no Da TT
1.-The one religion profess and understand
is the
Religion Of humanity; yours is myth to me.
To help the poor, relieve the sick, and raise
fallen one,
Brings to my heart a certain sense of 10y DER
duty done.
Nor does religion such as this conflict with
other joys
OF earth that give me pleasure, but the
preachers heart annoys
so thus. you see unequally we would be
yoked together,
And perfect unity and peace would be our
portion never.
81 love you and 1 love myself too well to close
my eyes
To these plain, unromantic facts that now
between us rise.
You love the church. love the world; our
union, you'll agree,
Gould not bring lasting happiness to either
you or me.
Were less of heather from your stand
point of view,
Less conscientious and well grounded in
your faith were you,
We might unite our future lives on mutual
ground. you see;
But as it is it gives me pain to say it cannot

She did not say to close the scene that she
would be his sister,
Nor blushed she when her preacher lover
said good bYe' and kissed her.
But he went home convinced that she was
sensible about it.
And had he seen her at the bail that night he
ne er would doubt it.
