That was our parting. Dear me, how little we fancied then that it would be thirty long years before we saw each other again. I was an old maid in good earnest when Roy came back from South America. They say no woman passes the age of twenty-five without receiving, at least,one offer of marriage; but I believe I was an exception to that rule—I never had an offer. All the girls who had grown up at my side got married, and become blooming wives and happy mothers ; but Penny Lilhaven remained unsought and unwooed. It used to mortify me dreadfully until I got to be thirty ; and then, by degrees, I left off caring for it, and made up my mind to be as happy as I coujd, all by myself. 8o, as my relations were all dead, and I had a tolerably snug little sum of money to fall back upon, I took a pretty cottage and bad my niece, Edith Lonsdale, to live with me; for Edith was pretty and penniless, and I felt as if Providence meant me to stand in the place of a mother to that poor, motherless child. rpHE Undersigned is now prepared at hisSliopln JL West Pittston, to do a general business, in BLACKSMITH1NG,and the manufactare of WAGONS, CARRIAGES AND BUGGIES.

When you returned from four years" service and found yourself just four years behind those who ■atyed at home—found those who were clerks at your side, occupying positions above you, found those of your class graduated—found those learning their trades established in business— in fact found that you would have to begin where you left off and struggle four years to get where they stood, was there not some regret at having enlisted? Yet you have the advantage, you have a history to bear you through where others cannot go. You are the envy of all the boys. The girls look at you and wish their lover bad been a soldier. The old father or mother at sight of you thinks of an only son lying God only knows where. They have.heard of a trench at.Andfrsonville with 1 i,000 in it, and suspect he might be there. Your story will carry you any place and secure you kindness where others fail. Let me illustrate. After the war was over a soldier was roturning home. It was a long distance from the depot to his father's house, but he thought a forward march through the whole night would enable him to surpriso them at breakfast next morning. At midnight, however, a storm began gathering and he was compelled to seek Bhelter. Reluctantly he knocked at a house on the roadside.

The boy who spends an hour of each evening lounging idly on a street corner, wastes, in tha course of a year, three hundred and sixtv-fiv« precious hour, which, if applied to study, would familiarize him with the rudiments of almost any of the familiar sciences. If in addition to wasting an hour each evening, ho spends tea cents for a cigar, which is usually the case, tha amount thus worse than wasted, would pay for ten of the leading periodicals of the country. Boys, think of these things. Think how much precious time and good money you are wasting, and for what? The gratification afforded by the lounge on the corner, or by the cigar, is not only temporary, but positively hurtful. Yoa cannot indulge in these practices without seriously injuring yourselves. You acquire idle and wasteful habits, which will cling to you through life, and grow upon you with each succeeding year. You may in alter life shake theiu off, but the probabilities are that the habits thus formed in early life will remain with you till your dying day.

" 5, 2 50 " Yes," I answered; but  " Don't you remember me, Penny Lilhaven? Don't you remember Roydon Grey ?" And then sure enough, I did remember the boy who had gone away thirty odd years before. Well, he had made his fortune, and come back to enjoy it among his friends. Ah ! to think there were so few left. Of course, wo had a great deal to say to one another, and a thousand and one questions to ask ; and, as I don't claim to have anything of the saint in my composition, I won't deny that it made me feel a little hard when I saw him sit down by the side of Edith Lonsdale, and talk to her, and look intoher innocent blue eyes, before I had half told him what had happened in the village during the dreary years of his absence. But the feeling didn't last long. " It% natural enough, I'm sure," I reasoned with myself,"and only what I ought to expect. She is as pretty as a picture, and now, if Roy will only fall in love with her, I can be just as happy in their happiness as if it had corao to me, the blessings ol a good man's love." Sol persuaded myself. Yet it was a little hard to feel myself shut out from all the beauty and sweetness of a woman'n natural lot. I think I never felt the bitterness of being an old maid quite so acutely as I aid that night, when Rovdon had gone to the village inn, and Editb lay sleeping on the pillow at my side, and in the scent of the honeysuckles cahae wafting in at i every stir of tho dowy night breeze.
