There was something almost ludi-
crous, if it had not been SO infinitely pa
thetic, in the old servants pride and as
sertion Of dignity and position, and in

he considered a social degradation.
There were tears in Mary's eyes, which
made the smile on her lips trifle tremu-
lous, as she patted the old mans feeble
arm and assured him that such igno-
miny should never be his portion while
there was Beverley above ground to
protect him.
She watched, still with an April coun-
tenance, the little group-the old negro
walking slowly, leaning on his hickory
staff, and her two bold boys dancing
around him, full Of eagerness about the
move and of desire to help in it.
She thought the whole matter settled
and done with when she had got the old
people established in their new quarters
with their household gods around them;
but it was not. Mr.. Anthony at their
very next meeting chose to introduce
the subject, and to express himself with
some force upon it.
