A STRANGE WAY TO A LEGACY.
The year aftei; ^^ general peace was the flrst of my travels. I was jaat tweDl>-two, and thonght mjf:elf laclcy when, early in the sammer of ISW', my niiele 5«nt nie to he his agent and lepreseulativ^ iu tliH honse ofSkm- derkin & Co. The liim wert+ furiiiwrchatita— part Ru.'ssian, part German and part English. It was iuiletffl rather a company, and a very composite one. I do not remember half tbeir names. Thej hsd partneis io all the Baltic, Dutch and German towns, not to speak of London, where my uncilo r**pre5yut«.i tfaera in King Williaiu Street; but the fountain-head ofthe house was iu »t. Jr'etersburg, and thith er he sent me.
I thought I waa goiug lo see the worli, and be a great man; indeed, haviug little acqaain¬ tance with the sad scene. 1 entertained secret designs of lordiug it over the Russian and German clerks, for all the company had their national represeutalives in the chief house, and I was appotnled to the Eoglinh depart¬ ment. I got a great deal of good advice, and a large supply of cougratulationa on the posi¬ tion I waa to occupy. My maiden annts coun¬ selled me to coudnct myself properly ; my grandmother recommended me not to grow too proud; and the curate of their church in Hampstead gave me serious admoniliona against being led lo the Greek Chnrch.
I set out with all the weight of my own im¬ portance and these sage counsels.   I  arrived aafely, though a voyage to S:. Petersburg was no joke in those days, aud got regularly loca¬ ted iu the house of SkinJerkin.    It was large enough to satisfy my fondest expectations, snd stood close oo the Neva, the oldest and outstraggliug part of St,  Petersbarg,  said to h&ve been the site of an lugriau village, the whole of whose iuhabitauts perished in the adjoining marsh,  when the city had to be ballt at any cost of life or labor, and Peter the Great wielded al  once the trowel  and   the tnont for his sabjects' encouragement.    The Dobility had built their palaces there in Peter's time; but partly the moving hablls of the Bassians, partly the inundations to which it was particularly subject, made thein abandon the qaarter eariy in tu^ reigu of Catherine il- Merohants aod traders of the llrst class then took possession ; the palaces were tarned inlo stoies and warehouse?, from which the noble proprietors drew considerable   additions to tbeir incomes, in tho shapfl  of rent; and in one of the largest and grandest, Sktnderkin & Co., had locaied ihemeelves.   Insuch noble rooms, galleries, and corridors,  was business never before done.    Such quantities of fur, from Finland, Lapland,  Siberia, and Kamts- chatka, as came there  to be stored, booked, and shipped, I had never dreamed of.   Kever- thelsss, the proverb, tbat far off fowls have fair featbers, was strikingly illastrated in the matter ofmy St. Petersburg appointmenl.  In the first place, tho establishmeut was disci¬ plined after tbe   whole Russian fashion, in¬ vented in the Tartar times, when every ware¬ house had to be a fortress, and every merchant a sort of freemason.   We  all worked acd boarded on the premises, but the work and tbe boarding were carried on in a dreary peni¬ tential style—silent, aecret, aud systematic— a happy mistare of   the house of correctiou, the monastery, and the barrack.    The hours were kept with regulation strictness.    The meals were auuouQ{.'ed by tbe  tolling of a great bell, wbich might have served for any¬ body's funeral.    E^ery de?k   and  stool was partitioned off from its  neighbor j   sub,  and snperior sat Uke so many prisontrs iu solitary confinement, except tUai they partly see, and all watched each other.   Theu, as to lording it over the Russian and G^rinau clerks, not one of them could  epeak Kugtisb.   I kuew nothing of Russian or Germau—itis not easy lording it without speech—but somehow I dis¬ covered that fsv^tj soul of them cordially de¬ apiaed me, because niy uncle was known to have tbe smaUeat stake in ihe firm.
I thinic that faot was first made plain to me by my senior in the English department; which, let me observe, consisted only of my¬ aelf. He had come trom Yorkshire, and his name was HardstatF^a title which sounded BO aristocratio in the ears of the Russians, that they entertained a general respect for him.— Bat had lhe Fates so willed it, Hardf-ico would have been a more snilable appellation, fori had never seen a man who looked so like having been hewn, aud not very carefully either, out of a granite rock. He had been forty years iu Rnssia ; and althoagh my own stay was not long enongh to prove it by per¬ sonal experieuce, X believe there is something In that select olimate which Ru.^sianises meu of all countries. The process had been effec¬ tual on my Yorkshire frieud, though nobody could be prouder of his Uritish birth, and more paticularly of his native country.— HardBtaff was a genuine subject of tbe Czar, in craft, canning, and cold readiness for any¬ thing that might serve his own interest, no matter whose it injared. He bad sat so long beside the stove, dealt ao long with the fur- traders, and lived nnder the discipline of the hoaae, and his manner and, I believe hia
ness of his life waa to take and keep other peo¬ ple down. I will do Lim the jaatice to say that he was aa adept in both departments.— His long acquaintance and large experienoe of the trade made him an anthority even with his employers. He had their confidence in other respeots to a degree whioh was generally known, thoagh not made pnblio. In no coan¬ try are there more nhavowed inflnenoes at work than In Easaia. Hardataff was not the head of the honae; tbe department ia which he overtly acted was the leaat considerable^ bnt everyi ody abont tbe premises was aware that his opinion was aaked on tbe moat im¬ portant transactions, that fae was note taker and spy-general for all hia anperiors; ¦ and thoagh the pleasing of him was an impossible aspiration, it was highly imprndent to incur bis ill-will.
For myself, I had come to be my ancle's representative, and the old gentleman in King William street waa an aoknoweledged partner; but Hardstaff was ao well eatablished by forty yeara of sorting fars, writing beaide the atove, not to apeak of spying aud being consnlted, he knew so much that I did not, and he seemed determined never ahould, and busineaa was so differently conducted in St. Petersbarg and London, that I settled iuto the sabordinate position from the firat hour of taking my aeat at the deak assigned me. It atood at the op¬ posite end of the atove, which, as uaaal in Rus¬ sia, occupied nearly half the room, then oar coanting-houee, bnt lookiag very much as ifit had once been a lady's dressing-room. There were mirrors, with richly gilt framea let into the walls, which were magnificantly painted ; and iu one comer there were marka as if a wardrobe had stood there. Of coarse, my desk waa shut in by a rongh wooden partition; but it on^y went half way lo the roof, and by atretching ap a little, I coald see all that came aud weut, without, as I thoiight, being ob¬ aerved. Hardstaff had the same advantage, but he never appeared to make use of it.— Hour afler hour, have I seen him sittiug over his book, registering sables, ermines, and black-fox skins, apecimens of which lay on tbe desk before him, without lifting his eyes or moving a muscle. As for speaking to me, Hardstaff never did such a thing, except when» mueh against my inclination, I had to ask him some question about the business on hand.— Theu his answer waa given iu tbe ahorlest possible compass, aud the most unintelligible terms he coald devise. Xt was a case of hatred at first sight. Hardstaff did not approve of my coming; he wanted no Englishman there but himself, and I oau vouch there was no love lost on my side ; but he was not the man to quarrel or to be quarreled with.
We were seated at oar respeetive desks—I onght to aay iu our oelta—one moming. It was summer-time, being the beginning of July, but summer iu St. Petersburg means one long hazy twilight, wilh the sun seen through it something like our red harvest moon, higher or lower iu the sky according to the hours of the day, witha heavy sultry atmosphere, not nnlike what we have in England before a than- derstorm : in i-hort, juet the sort of a Umo iu which to get lazy, aud do nothing at all. The strange length of day, the dry, dreary mode of life, my own .strangerdhip in that foreign land, where I kuew neither man nor language, had made me heartily tired of my St. l*etersbarg appointment, which looked so grand iu pros¬ pect, 1 had delivered five letters of introdnc tion at as many houses of my uncle's mercan¬ tile acquaintance, was aasured of high consid¬ eration by every one of thera, and uever heard another word orsign of their existence. I bad walked round the magnificent streeta aud squares of palaces which distinguish the Rus¬ sian capital; X had peeped into the deuse pine forests whiuh grew socloae upon them ; I had looked at the mnjecks' huts beside the slug¬ gish Neva, the great dilapidated warehouses, and the very dirty shipping which bigh tides brought under their windows. I had gone to the Iheatre, and paid enormously for a bad Seat; I had gone to the coffee houses, and got disgusted with popular babita. I had a geueral conviction that everybody was cheat¬ ing me out of door.^, and everybody watching me withiu, aud auy apology to get back to King WilUam street would have bean a god¬ send. In this frame of mind I was sitting, aud making believe to write, that dim sultry day of the northern summer, wben oue of the op¬ posite mirrors, which happeued to stand high¬ er than my barricades, shewed me thai a woman had aotoally entered the room.
I would as soon have expeoted to see a bird of paradise as a female face in that establish¬ ment; all our tablea were spread, and, I be¬ Ueve, our cnisane and laundry done by men ; but there waa a womau dreased iu what I in¬ atinctively knew lo bo the first fashion out of Pai is, not thirty at tbe ontside calculation, with fipely moulded features for a Russian, a soft, fair complexion, light blue eyes^ and hair of a goldon yellow.    She had come iu so noiseless ly, lhat I waa not aware of her presenoe till apprised by the mirror; and, still more as¬ tonishing, she   was   speaking to   Hardstaff. Their talk was low and eamest, and I must confess to listening; but they spoke in Rus¬ sian.   However, the eye sometimes does daty for the ear: by its help, and  the lownesa of the partition, I diacovered, to my unqualified amazement, tbat they were talking of myaelf. How I learned the faot, it would pnzzle me uow to tell; I think it was by Bomething in the lady'a look.  Hardstaff's flinty visage never lold tales ; but when they had spoken for a few minutes, be raised his voice, and said, in the tone of civil commaud in which he was pleased to addresa me: " Mr.  Summerville, have the goodness to bring me the invoice of those sealskiuB to be sent to onr house in London.''   It was then about furs they had been talking.   Did the lady want to bay some of tbe seal skins tbat were packed up and al¬ most ready to be shipped to my unole ?   No matter; it would give me an opportunity of getting a better sight of her.    I had to pass her with tbe invoice, and that nearerview showed me tbat not only she was a very pretty woman, but also that I had seen the same face some days before lookiug out at a window of oue of the great palaces iu the wide aud windy square of the Admiralty.   Thc lady looked at me now most graciously, and wbeu I acknowledged her presence with my beat bow, said, in very good English fora foreigner: " I am sorry,air, tobe thecanseof giving you so much trouble." ¦   I had not heard my uative English for two months, except   from  the  dry, disagreeable Ilardatafi. aud could have danced for joy on the spot to hear it uitered from those roay lips ; but it was not desirable to be thought insane, I kept my British composure as well as I could, and stammered out: "No trouble at ali."
"You are very good," said the lady.— " Might I ask if yon have been long in St. Veteraburg ?'"'
" Only two months," said I. '' And how do you like it ?" "I have scarcaly had lime to know." " Well, it is true you English are sensible people, and do not make up their minds in a hurry. I have a great respect for the English" —how well she spoke our langnage!—"I had a governess of yonr nalion, the best creatnre in the world.    What trouble she took to teach me the little English I know I"
"Her trouble was well bestowed, madame," said I, baving by this time got np mj conrage audmymauners, "yonapeakit likea native." " I did not know lhat Englishmen could fiatter," said  the lady, with the  sweetest smile; and before I had time to  rebntthe charge, she added: " Bat tellmehow yonlifce the aooiety here f* " I bave seen very little aa yet, madame.'* "Ah,perhaps yon have no frienda or rela¬ tions in the city ?'» . " Kone, madame; I am qnite a stranger." She looked flt me so kindly, so sympathising-
s^d, had taken the frozen mechanical tone      ^      ^
ofa Russian official. Natural dispoaition had 1 ly.Tcouirhave stood th^ forrfMtnTght' probably a good deal to do with It, I never 1 bul Hardstaff handed me back the invoice' -WW lh«» man smile, except at somebody being: saying, with hia aocuatomed froat: "Itlsall OT«neuhed; and next to far. the great bnal-' right;" and as I was upwUd to retire to mj
desk, I did so with another bow, to whioh the lady made a polite acknowledgment, talked a few minutes more in Rasa with Hardsuff, and went outaa noiselesaly as ahe had entered.
From that hour Hardstaff grew more familiar and commnnicative with me, as Uhe had fonnd oat that I might be considered somebody. His aociety was aboat as pleasant as the frnlt of a orab tree; but I had no choice of oompany, and wanted to hear what he knew regarding^ the lady. For once in his life, Hardataff ap¬ peared wilUug to give the dealred information. He told me ahe was tbe Connteas Rozsnki, a widow, ricb, ohildleas, and belonging to one of the first &milie8 in Eathonia. He faither ex¬ plained bercomlng to the warehouae, fay letting me know that it had been the Rozenki Palace, and that the eeal-akins shipped formy ancle had come from an eatate moat fertile in fnrs, which the conntesa owned in tbe government of Archangel. " It is not eiaotiy her own," aaid Hardstaff, ** but properly belongs to her husband's nephew. She ia his gnardian, how¬ ever, and that is nearly as good as ownership in Russia."
Some days alter thia one aftemoon when Hardstaff, by a moat unuaual chance, was not at his desk, I was sitting with the pen in my fingers, and the account-book before me, won¬ dering if sbe would come again in my time, when there was a slight creafe of the door, a light rustle of ailk, the prettiest tinkle on the brass rail of the stove, and there stood Madame Rozenki.
"Ah, my English friend," ahe aaid, smiling with aceaatomed sweetneas as I preaented myself, "how glad I am to aee yon once agaiu I Shake hands; they always shake hands iu your counlry, don't they ? My gov¬ emess told me so. How I loug to viait Eng¬ land I"
It is to be hoped tbat I shook the small delicate hand, covered with lemon colored kid, as fashion theu reqaired, with becoming grace and ardor. I know that I was intensely charm¬ ed. She inquired for Mr. Hardataff. I told her all I knew about him. She just hiuted that her businesa waa uot very important or her Ume pressing. I of course offered her the best seat the place afforded, to await his re¬ tarn, aud we got into conversation.
As far as my memory serves me it was re gularly opeued by her ladyship inqniring once again bow I liked the society of St. Peters. burg. As we had shaken hands; aud she had such a respect for the English, I relieved my mind by telling her the exaot truth—that I knew nobody and nobody knew me ; that I bad not a soul to speak to bat Hardstaff, and was heariily tired aud sick of my situation. The laiJy seemed to enter into my feelings to a degree wbioh enchauted me, young as I was. " Far from yoar relations, and without friends in a strange city," ahe said, " with no assooiate but the old man who aita at that desk—it ia a hard trial. And you oan't re¬ tarn to England without yonr nnole's permis¬ sion, of conrse?"
** No," said I; " and he is a man to whom X sbouid not wish to complain of solitude: he would laugb at me for being childish, and bid me mind my business."
"Ah, those money-making old men think of nothing but ba dness," said the counteaa.— " But, tell me, now, should you like to see aociety ? I meau first olass company—the world of fashion in St. Petersburg.''
" Yonr ladyship, I am not accastomed to fashionable life. I have never beeu anything but a merchant's olerk."
'* Yes, but yoa have a genteel air, and might bs made presentable," she said, surveying me from head to foot, with a look of the most can¬ did and kindly patronage; "anda? yon are so lonely, if yon will be a good, aud come to my honae to-morrow eveuing, you will meet a aelect circle of my bast frieuda. Itia ouly quadrilles, cards and supper."
Was I dreaming, or did aRassian coanteas actually invite me out of Skinderkin & Co.'s counting bouse to quadrilles, cards aud sap¬ per f Then what apparel bad I to appear in at the Rozeukt palace ? Eveuing dress had never been coanted among the reqnisites of my existence, and iu the confusion of these thoughts I could only stammer oui: "Much
obliged to your ladyship, bat "
" You are thinking of your dreas, young mau," said the connteas, layiug her small hand lightly on my arm, and looking me archly in the face ; " well, don't disturb your¬ self about that; we can do fairies' work at the Rozenki palace, aud you shall be my Cinder- alla. Just step around to tbe tea-shop iu the lane behind your warehouse, about seven to morrow evening; you will find a carriage there ; step into it; it will bring you to the palace. The footman will ahow you a dress¬ ing-room, where you fiod everything requisite for a gentleman's toilet; then ring the bell anl the footman wiU condaot you to my salon.*'
I do not remember what I said by way of thauks and acknowledgment for this, it was so unlike anything I had ever met with, so far out of the common course; yet where waa the young man in my position who wonld have refused t
" Oh, never mind," said the conntesa, cut¬ ting me short with another light pat on the arm; "you will be kind to aome Rassiaui .perhaps, who may be lonely in England, wben you have inherited yonr uncle's busineas, and become a great merchant. Yon won't forget to be at the tea-shop by seven. I cau't wait for that old man any longer.   Good-bye."
Bhe shook hands with me once more, and was going, when a sudden thought seemed to strike her. " My friend, I forgot to ask one thing," she aaid, tuming to the door; cau you speak French V
'' No, Madaoae," said I blnahing to the roota ofmy hair, as I reojlleoted that that was the lauguage of gooil society in Russia; bat my sohool days had beeu in the time of the long war, when French was neither so oommon uor so reqnisite as it has aince beoome to men of business.
"Do you understand it at all?" aud her look grew keenly inquiring. "Not.a word, madame." " That is unfortunate ; everybody of faahion speaks French here, aud very few nnderstand English; besides nothing could convince them that you had not been brought up a mere peasant—a boor, you understand, if yon could not -ipeak Freuch ; but there is one expedient which has just occarred to me ; you will pre¬ tend to be damb. I know yoa are clever euough to act a part; it will be no loss, aa you cannot undersland what is apoken; but, re¬ member, not a sound before my guesta or ser¬ vants : it might bring na both to be talked of) and I want to let you see society. Good-bye.' The door had closed upon her exit before I had well comprehended the curioua arrange¬ ment, bnt the more I thought of it, the more clever and advantageous it seemed. The Countess Rozenki had evideutly taken an in¬ terest in me; was it friendly ? was it more lhan that ? A rich and childless widow, yonng and beaatifal, moreover, faad taken it into her head to show me good society, and make me presentable. The chance wag worth following up.whateverit mightlead to. Hardataffcame about half an hoar after, but of courae he heard notbing about it. There was no reason why he should. Seven was our closing bonr, theu the sapper came off; some of the clerks went for walks or to see thoir frienda; the lazy ones weut to bed; some Rnsalans can do a woudrons deal of sleeping.
Having pondered and congratulated myself on the invitation, and given the porter a silver rouble to take no notice of my movements—a Rusaian understands snch mattera withont speeoh—I went forth at seven on the following evening, aa if to take my accastomed walk, and in front of the tea-shop there stood a carriage— a very handsome one, bat with no crest on Ub panels, and what I have often remarked in Russia, struck me forcibly on this ocoasion ; thongh the nsnal olaas ofoaatomeis were oomtng aud going to the shop, thoogh dirfy ohildren  played  ahoat,  and luy niea Mt
smoking at every door, nobody looked carious orsnrprlsed to aee saoh an eqaipage In tfaeir qaarter. It was strange, too,how qnickly the ooaohman seemed toknowhis fare; he opened the door the momenti approached; I stepped in, and away we went to the;Rozenki Palace.
I knew the olty well enoagh to see that we were not going the direct way, however, and also that we Btopped. at the baok entranoei, which was in a narrow, sombre-looking street, with a dead-wall shotting io tbe gronnda of fl. monastery right opposite. A footman in splendid livery reoeived me, ahowed me through a pasaage and up a stair to a dressing- room elegantly farniahed wbere, acoording to the oonntess* promise, I fonnd every requisite for a gentleman's toilet, inolnding a complete snit for evening dress. The olothea were made more in the Fariaian than the London style— so they seemed to me ; but who had taken auoh an exaot account of my proportions? they fitted me amazingly, and my whole ap¬ pearanoe In the foil length mirror gave me coarage for tbe rest of the trial. Having dressed, I rang the bell aa commanded, aud, to my astonishment, who should answer it bnt the oonntess berself I She wore a magni¬ ficent evening dreaa, of wbicb, not being skilled in ladles' apparel, I can only say tbat it was very grand and very low, and that the lady looked to great advantage In consequence. The qaantity of jewels fiashing from her snowy neck and arms would have done some ladies good to see; bnt in she came as friend¬ ly and famUiar as she had been iu the count- ing-honse.
" I just wanted to see how yoa looked before going down to the oompany. Ah 1 very well indeed," she said, tnming me ronnd by the arm as if I had been her yonnger sister, on the point of being bronght out. "Didn't I gueas yonr fit, my dear boy f You will make oonqaeats among the girle this evening. But don't forget yonr part of mute; it is all we can do for the present. Of cotirse, you will leam to speak Frenoh in time; I'llgive you lessons myaelf. But now I muBt go to receive; the footman will conduct yon to tfae salon; do yonr devoirs as if you bad not seen me, and don't forget that yoa are dumb." [conclusion nbxt week.]
THE THREE WEEPERS.
Sorrow woops!
And drowns its bitterness in tears;
My child of sorrow,
Weep out the fullness of thy passionate grief,
And drown in tears
The bitterncaa of lonely years.
God gives the rain and sunshine mild,
And both are blest, my child ! Joy weeps!
And overflows its banks with tears;
My ohild of joy.
Weep out tho gladness of tby pont-up heartf •
And let thy glistening eyes
Run over in their ecstacies ;
Life needoth joy; but from ou higb ¦ ,
Becends what cannot die! Love weeps!
And feeds its silent life with teani:
My child of love, i
Pour out tho riches of thy yoarniog heart,  i
And, liko the air of even, |
Oive nnd tako back the dew of heaven :
And let tbat longing heart of thiue
Feed upon love divine t
BTTYING A WEDDING CAKE. \
"Lettera, sir, from de pos' office 1" "Very well, Sambo, pat 'em down and take youraelf offl"
Ihad just finished my breakfaat, andthe tiny sUver chochlatiere, with the bachelor ser¬ vice of transparent china, still stood on the damask draped round-table. It waa a bright little room, with its white and gold paper, and high-heaped grate, on the gray light of this chill December morning, when the air waa thick with noiseless falling anow fiakes ; aud this contrast betweeu the bilter atmosphere
Bat Atherton only wagged his head know- ^B^fi aild rushed off in pursuit of a stage, saying something of whioh I only caught the diBoonnected fragments "my wife" and "D'Ar- tier's."
" Haug that wedding-cake I" waa my inter¬ nal ejacolatlon.
As I pursaed my speculative way a tiny gloved hand waa held ont ftom a passing car¬ riage.
" Ah, Mrs. Everleigfa, excase me for not seeing yon before 1"
"We all know that love Is blind," said the lady, smiling.; " Now I see why yon haven't been to see me in BUoh an age. "iSy ni6oe was at D'Artier's this moraing and saw hoff par* tionlar yon were in the selection of a oer~ taiu article 1"
Before I ooald explain this piece of clronm- stantiat evidence, there was a movement lu ' lock' of oarriages which had cauaed the tem¬ porary detention of my fair friend, and her equipage rolled away, with a wave of the pret¬ ty hand and the aronest Bmiles.
I stood looking after faer, with au odd aort of impression that I should awake np present¬ ly to find myaelf married to somebody, wheth¬ er no; indeed, 1 was not altogether oertain whether Mrs. Golde was not waiting for m^ at home.        ^ *
How brilliantly the firelight and gaaligfat illumined tfaat cozy little room at Lee Wor¬ cester's with piuk-tiuted walla, and orimaoned carpet, sprinkled with small white hnds.— Tbe piano was open strewn with sheets of ma¬ sic, jnat as it had been left, Its pearl keys glimmering softly in tbe snbdued radiance of one jet of light tbat glowed through a frosted shade above. The tea-table was all set—I had often dreamed of a home of my own that afaould be aometbing like Lee Worcester's in its snug eveniug oomfort, and aomebow that tea-table always formed part of the phantasm. There was Bomething so bright and cbeerfnl in the snowy damaak, and the sparkling glass and glittering china. Old bachelor aa I was, tfae golden blocks of cake and tiny white mtif- fins, breaking into crisp flakes tbat melted in one'a mouth, and amber jellies, qaivering like gigantio jewels throngh their orystal prison walls, producing a wonderfully agreeable ef¬ fect in my epicurean sight. And I could im¬ agine no prettier viaion to crown it all, than Mary Worcester in her crimson merino dresa edged aronnd the throat with delicate lace' preaiding at the ailver tea-urn. Exoept, per¬ haps—but tbal is neitber faere nor there !
X was a little disappointed, on entering, not to Bee Lee's siater-in-law, a trim little beauty, with brown rippling hair and velvety eyea, somewhere between hazel aud black, bnt I did not like to ask any questions, aud consequent¬ ly remained in igoorance nntil Mary casually remarked:
"Nettie is very low spirited tblsevening, perhaps she willcome down atairs by aud by.'i
How I longed to ask wbat the matter was. Perhaps she had received ill news, perhaps she waa not well, I would have given my two ears to know, but I didn't dare to inqnire. " So yon're going to be married, eh Tracy, my boy," said Lee, aa we sat iu front of tbe bright fire. " Well, you cau't do better. A bachelor, at best, is a mere fracUon of societyl't
X started up, annoyed beyoud all endurance. "For mercy's sake,  dear Lee, do tellme where you picked up lhat ridiculous report I" " Ridiculous report 1 that's pretty cool, up¬ ou my honor,'' exclaimed Worcester.
"Now Mr. Golde," paid Mary, laughing " don't deny the aoft impeachment. lam sure you wonld enjoy a qaiet home of your own better than that noisy hotel. There is no charm against a sad heart like domestio bliss I'' There was a radiant softness iu her own tender eyes aa she spoke that penetrated me
"ABIDE WITH US."
Broad on t^e mountains sleeps the aanrtsa glory,
Golden, and clear, and oalm; No   thunderons praise moves their  foundatiq^ hoary.
For n7e7ica is thoir psalm; Yet throbbing from their centers do they greet The mighty blessing of the light and heat.
Rest in onr souls Spirit of God abiding,
Serene, and deep, and still— As once upon creation's waters gliding,
Mold and inatruct our will; Best, broad, and calm, and glorious as the light, That in our hearta there never more be night!
A STOUY FOR THE IITTLE FOLKS.
Helen Uorrisson.
When Helen Morrison waa eight years old Bhe told a Ue^—a ZtV—and It haunted her witb a painfnl remembranoe all her life after.
Helen was not a mean child. There was nothing artful or cunning ahont her. On tfae contrary, she waa frank in her diaposition, and generous to a fault. Her great tronble waa tbat afae faad no moral courage. She waa afraid to say No at first, and Yes afterward.
One summer afternoon, wheu Helen came in from school, her mother met her In the hall, and pntting a neat little baaket Into faer hand, said:
" Aunt Mary has come to tea, and I want something from the baker's. Go and get me a sheet of sponge-cake, a sheet of molasses- gingerbread, and some milk-biscuit."
Helen tied the strings of her cape-bonnet again, and palling her loug Unen mittens over faer elbows, Bbe took tfae basket, and vety! yery very.
cheerfnlly started on the errand. She walked slowly, for tbe day was sunny and warm, and had jnst got to the first corner, when Madaliua Rozzini, a school-male of hers, came racing up from the other street. Madalina, or Liua, as Bhe was called for shortnesB, was tbe danghter of an Italian artisan, who had foand his way years before into this quiet New England town. She had not beeu very well brought up, had never beeu lo church or Sunday-school nor read the Btble, because her parents were Roman Catholics, aud never allowed their chUdren lo mingle in aacb things with their Protestant neighbors. Batahe attended day- school, and though rude and bold in her man¬ ners, waa a clever, agreeable child ; and the litlle girls of the town aasociated with her iu a friendly way, as achool-ohUdren usually do.
" Where are yoa going ? Say, say, where are yon going ?*' shouted Lina.
"To the baker's," answered Helen. " I'll go, too," said Lina. So they sauntered along, bnaily chatting, UU they came to the sfaop.    Helen did her errand, aud taking the basket again on her arm, walked down the steps.
" How nice that gingerbread looked," ex¬ claimed Lina; " did you see ? It was smoking hot. Oh, X do love molasses-gingerbread aa, when it is fresh," and lifting the cover of Helen'a basket, she looked wistfully in,
"Give mea piece, now do, and I'U bring yoa something to schoolto-morrow," saidshe» after the survey.
Helen opeaed her eyea wide at auch a prop ositioUjSo utterly against all rules of propriety. ; She thonght ahe could not have faeard rightly so she pat down the cover of her basket quiet¬ ly, and made no answer.
"Oh, come now, there's a good girl,*' per,
I sisted Lina: " give me a piece, juat a little
hit; I only waut that corner.    Ha 1" she added*
changing   her  lone, "you're aftaid, you're
afraid ; you'd get a whipping if yon did."
"I shouldn't get auy whipping," answered Hefeu indignantly. * • My mother never whips me."
" She'd scold yon then; you'd get some-
whole oue-   Go home and tell yout mother yon deserve a goud whipping."
Every word of which address Helen felt in her heart of faearts to be true; ao, taking up faer basket once more, ehe walked out.
"She won't change it," she aaid to her mother when she again reached home. " Sbe says it was whole when ahe gave It to me."
Of oonrae, it muat have been, thought her mother, aa she took it from tbe child : but ahe said nothing. She felt very nnhappy that her little girl had done a wrong action and was unwilling to acknowledge it, but she reserved the reckoning lill another time.
At tbe supper table wfaen tfae plate of gin¬ gerbread was pasaed to Helen Bhe did not tuke any.   She bad had qnite enough for that day.
Bed-time oame, and she 'went as usual for her motber'a kiaa. Her mother looked at her very gravely, and said :
" My child, I fear you have! committed a great sin, and it makes me very sad. How mnoh better it wonld be to tell me the whole < truth."
"I'm snre I dou't aee why you cau't helieve me," answered the little girl.
The air of innocence witb which she uttered tfaese words sorely puzzled ber mother,
"Perhapa," thonght ahe, "I maybe mis¬ taken, after all. There Is something atrange about the affair, but perbaps Helen didu't eat it. What, shall I do, and how shall I get at the facts V
" I can't kiss you to-night, my chUd," sail sbe aerionaly, " nor again, until yon have told me all abont the nnpleasant affair."
So Helen  went to bed.   Unhappy?   Oh, To be deprived of her mother'^

without and the tropical warmth of my own speoial nook, gave me an additional conscious¬ ness of aatisfaction, as I leaned back In my cfaair and proceeded to examine my corres¬ pondence.
Lee Worcester wants to know if I can co'me tbere to tea this evening. Of courae I oan, Lee's wife Is a perfect little rosebud, and oue, besides, who don't believe in cashiering all her huaband'a baohelor frienda. Aud then I rather like that browu eyed sister-in-law of his- Yeg^I'il go, certainly. Halloo—here's a letter ^m my brotber in Olenfield I X un¬ folded the docnment eagerly, scarcely able, at first, to credit lbe tidings it revealed.
"Well, here ia a pretty state of things. Going to be married, claims my congratula¬ tions, says that Mary (who tbe dickens is Mary f) is in great tribulation about tbe wed¬ ding cake; affair to oome off on Wednesday, and no cake to be had for love or money I Will X be tbe beat fellow in the world, and aeud down one from D'Artier's ?"
I glanced at the date of tfae letter. It faad been delayed for several dayson the road, and there was not a minnte to be lost. I loae, me¬ chanically, and put on my hat aud cloak, giv¬ ing more heedful gaze at the varions directions about icing, weight and decoration, which ac¬ companied Tom's closely written epistle, be¬ fore I aallied forth boldly to tbe street on my novel errand.
It was jast about one o'oiook, the snow had ceased falling, and tfae sun sfaone brilliantly. D'Artier's was full of courae ; there were at least a dozeu ladies that I knew sitting at th^ tiny marble tables. I tried to assume au air of eaay impndence, as if I had only come In for a ponnd of chocolate almonds, bnt It was no use; X could not disguise the latent aheep- ishnesB ofmy aapect as I sauntered up to the counter.
" How can I serve yon, air?" demanded tfae trim damsel, who presided over tfae aaccfaarine treasures.
I mattered sometfaing nnder my moustache, feeling a faot blnah suffuse my wbole connle- nance. Why would not tfae inquisitive woman¬ kind attend to tfaeir Ice-creams ?
" Cake, sir ?" " Certainly." " For a party, air ?   Pound-cake, lemon and almond^"
" No, no," I bawled out; "I want a wedding- cake."
"Oh, I beg your pardon, sir," tittered the atrocious ahopwoman. Waa it reality, or did I only fancy that the titter was echoed among the bonneta and fura beyond ? However tfaat migfat have been, the mere apprehenaion was .saffioient to throw me ioto a cold perspiration. The nezt momeut, faowever, the oounter waa heaped with various temples of glistening white sngar, some wreathed with make believe roaea, some surmonnted wilh oandy cupids, others with pure white masses of icing. X sarveyed tfaem in a state of faopelesa bewilder¬ ment.
"Perhapa, sir, it wonld be better if the lady could oome witfa you to aelect," faazarded my enemy behind tfae counter.
I could endnre tfaia badgering no longer, bnt pounced npon a gigantic pyramid of angar- litUes, from whioh peeped np a tiny alabaster cupid.
" IwiU take this—what is the price ?" "Fifteen dollars, sirl" I laid down the money, and never experi¬ enced so delicious a senaation of relief as at tbe moment wheu X thrust the cupid, packed in a ronnd wooden box, nnder my arm and rnshed ont of tfae establiahment. How gladly I delivered It to the expreaa agent, who tosaed it on one side, aa carelessly as If the transmis¬ sion of wedding-cakes were a matter of eveiy- day occurrence.
" How d'ye do, Golde, when Is It to oome off?"
"When is what to come off?" queried I, considerably puzzled at my friend Atherton'a addreas.
"Your wedding to be aure ? Ah, you are a aly dog, to keep us all in the dark so loug 1"

Bat ahe had a very strong wiU, and once faaving told tbe lie abe was too obstinate to owu it—and, would you think il ?—one whole month she persisted in he refusal to tell anjthing of the broken gingerbiead. Every day she weut Ihrongh her round of duties gloomily, like a chained crimtoal, aud every night ahe went to bed with au aching heart for want of her mother's kiss. In vain her mothei talked with her, using every persuasion sbe could think of lo affecl the child's conscience. She did not proceed to harsh measures, for .^he tboaght it poasible that Helen might not after all have beeu guilty of untruth, and she waa snre that conscience by-aud by would make her yield.
At last, one Satnr.lay night, tbe little girl was summoned to her mother's room.
" I am very sick, my child," said she, " and fear I am goiug to have a serions illness. I shall send yon to Annt Mary'a to be takeu care of. But oh, Helen, I cauuot bear to have you go, with this sad doubt still unsettled. My child, why will you uol open yoar heart and tell me all ? God looka down into your heart, aud he knows the whole truth. Can yoa not tell it to me just as he sees .il? Remember the last verse you learued, * He lhat coufesseth and forsakethhia sin shall fiud mercy.' "
She looked very pale as she said Ibis, and passed her band across her forebeid as if she were in pain. Helen looked al her mothen and saw how ill she appeared, Herbeart was touched.
" If X go away aud mother gets real sick perbaps abe will die, aud I shall neversee ber again," thought she, and sbe burst into tears- This waa an nnuaual thing for her, for ahe did not cry as easily as some ohildren; and in all the talks sbe aud her mother bad bad duiiug this unhappy month, she had never before ahed a tear. So when her mother at last saw theae and heard the sigba aud sobs of the poor child, ahe was greatly enconraged. She believed that now lbo bard, wickel heart wonld melt down.
And flare enough. She cried and cried, hard at first, and then more gently, her mother patiently and hopefolly waiting for the end. Wben sbe waa al last quiet and could speak< out came the whole story.
"Bathow could you say to me whatyou did tbat firat nigbt? You said, I'm sure j don't Bee why you can't believe me? That puzzled me more.thau all tbe real."
" I was 80 naughty, mother, and I didn't know, what elae to say."
What a relief it was ou both aides when this great bauk of ice, that had been heaped up so long between mother aud child, was all gone. Now lhey could look into eacb other's faces agaiu with a smile. Now they could kiss one auother. Suspicion ou the one aide and fear on the other were at au eud. So she kissed the little girl, saying, " Oh, lieleo, my dear child, you dou't know faow glad I feel that you bave confessed tho truth. It ia betler thau medicine or nursing to me, I am sure you will never tell a lie again, I forgive you, and Ood will also, if yoa ask him. Get ready now to go to Anut Mary's.
Helen made up her mind that night, as sbe tboaght over all the discomfort and snffering she bad so needlessly endured, that, setting aside the great winkedness iu the sight of God, it was far easier and cheaper to speak the truth—the plain, straightforward, right- np-and dowu truth. And whenever afterward tfae proverb, " rioue.^ty is the bast policy," met her eye, it carried a meaning to hur hear which every one does not know.
