in very truth ''brotherly;" and fling

appalled,, With everything made
plain to her, as by a lightning
flash: with every secret place OF
heart and brain filed with the
clangor of that blow which she had
dealt so recklessly against the an

about to speak of would
have been too utterly
II commonplace to attract
notice had it not been
for the peculiar quality of the pay
ment eXacted. The great law had
long time been broken, but the
transgressors had lived among
its fragments with such calm, un-
revealing faces, showing in all other
ways so much respect for the
preJudiceS of those about them, that
shap eyes remaihed blind to the
truth. Mrs. Orth was widow of
the olive-complexioned, black-hair-
ed, black-browed, big black-eyed
variety. She was young: she had one
little son about five years old, and
she had a brother sole
object in life seemed to be the secur-
ing of her comfort.
He was a gentle giant: big and
broad, well looking and well bred;
but though, as Uncle Bob" he
smiled often at the boy, Harry, there
was no merriment in him; no smile
ever crept into the mans watchful,
reproachful, miserable blue eyes.
Mr.. Orth, in life, had been a Jeal-
GUS husband. His will gave to Mrs.
Orth the benefit of certain property
and moneys, so long as she remain
ed widow; should she marry again
the benefit was to be withdrawn.
That didn't trouble her much, but
there was something more for the
thoughtful and tender Mr. Orth TO
suggest. He desired, in case of his
wife's second marriage, that his
parents, who resided in Germany.
should at once take his boy, Harry,
and bring him up as their son, away
from his mother.
Now Mrs. OTth adored her boy.
and she either believed, or pretend
ed to believe, that that silly, spiteful
will was as unshakable as the earth's
foundations. Therefore, when she
loved and was beloved, no entreaties,
no arguments, no assurances could
induce her TO risk a marriage, lest
her child should be torn from her.
And Robert Thorpe, who was the
only son Of his mother. and she a
widow, who, from the sacred mo-
ment when first the little downy
head had rested on ner bosom, had
lived only to serve him and the God
who had given him to her, and in
the pride of his young manhood,
when that almost worshiping
mother, with a prayer in her heart,
was sweeping her geen eyes over
the faces Of the purest and fairest
maids OF her circle, seeking one love
ly and good enough to be his wife
he fell 10 the bow and spear Of
this dark browed, worldly woman,

him well enough to marry him, but
loved him too much to give him up.
