MONEY AND MAERrAGE. In a narrow and thickly populated all 3ey» just without the walls of old London, there was, and perhapa still exists, a coal- shed—a dark gaping, dingy recess, well filled with coals, and in one corner a pile of fire wood, technically termed " penny hundle" a fringe of ropes and onions, sus¬ pended from the once whitewashed ceiling and a whole barrel of yarmoutb bloaters at thedoor. A back room, dimly seen in the distance served as a "parlor, and kitchen, and all," to the owner of the es¬ tablishment, consisting of Job Cole, his wife, and two daughters,of thcrespective ageaof twelve and ten. Tbeupper part of the three-story bouse, with tho excep¬ tion of the attics, was let out to lodgers at weekly rental varying from five sbillings to halfa crown. One morning in tlio month of , Job Cole was bu:^iiy employed in measuring a bushel of real "WuUsend, scientifically heaping the measure to a perfect cone, when a genteel man walked into theshed, and inquired "if Mr. Cole was withiu?" "If it's Job Cole you want, Fm the man," replied the retailer of fuel. " Can 1 have a few words with you in private ?" demanded his visiter. "Why, I don't see no objections to that," replied Job, "if so as you'll wait till I've carried these cre coals. First come should be first served all the world over, you know, at least it's al'ays been my maximum. Shan't belong. Here, Fanny, come and take care o' the.shop, while 1 run over to Mother Smithers," bawled he . and down came a girl twelve years of age, and, upon seeing the stranger, sidled up to the herring cask, and began playing witfa the savory fish, glancing now and tben at the gentleman with a look be tween shyness and fear, who, on his part endeavored to enter into conversalion with the child, but he could extract noth¬ ing more than a timid "yes, sir," or a "no Her father, however, soon relieved guard, and, throwing" down the empty sack, cried," "That's the ticket! And how, sir, what's your business?" "A very agreeable business, I hope, as far as you are concerned, Mr. Cole." re¬ plied the stranger. "Butbefore X com municate the object of my visit, it i.s nec¬ essary that I should ask you a few que.^-, tions." " Ask me no questions aud I'll tell you no lies, as the saying is," replied Job.— But, how.<!omever, go it! You'll excuse me—but the fact is, I care for nobody^ and nobody cares for me. 1 fear no bums, notl. Cause why? I owo nothing to no body." " I've heard a very good character of you in the neighborliood." replied the gentleman. "Don't doubt it," replied Job,\wi{li aome confidence ; " I should like to see that man, woman, or child, th»t could Bay black's the white of my eye, that's all-, pay everybody—wish f could say as eve¬ rybody paid me." After a little farther parley, the gentle¬ man induced Job to invite him to a con¬ ference in the little back room. " Your name is Job Cole, I believe?"- "You've hit it—right as a trivet," re¬ plied Job- " Your father's name was—?" "Job, too." "Have you, or had you any relation's?'' " Why let me see—^yes. • There's uncle John, bul I never aet my eyes on him.— He went to Ingeys when a youngster— aome thirty years ago—yes, thereabouts. But it'a the relations you want, I can set¬ tle your business in a jiffy. Here, Fanny bring me the Bible, you jade." The Bible was brought, and on the'. fly leaf were written the names and date of birth of Job Cole, aud Sarah Cummins, ids wife, and his six children, the issue of his marriage. " And where are all these brothers and sisteriB?" demanded the stranger. "DeadI dead as, herrings—gone to kiiigdom come a precious time ago. I'm ^lie:onl5r child they, reared, and between yoiiand me and the; post, I donft think I'm to besqeezed at." - .,¦:,: ¦, , ,.,j The gentiemau smiled and bowed in ac- qoitiscenoe to the propoaition. : : i .- "I'm perfectly satisfied,''continued'he, "of your identity; and.J have the pleas¬ ure to inform you that, by tbe death of your uncle John, you are the fortunate hoir to a considerable property." '* YpQ don't say so ?" exclaimed Job.— "Gradzooksl but stop a minute!" and rushing to a door which opened on the stairs, he bawled out, "Mother Cole—I say. Mother Cole! My eyes I but iC this ain't just like a prize in tbe lottery. Bet" ter born lucky than rich. You'll take a drop o' something, though ?—What's your liquor." At this moment, Mrs. Cole, who was busy washing, entered the room, her face flushed with heat and exertion, and adorned with a broad bordered cap of the true London smoke and color. What tbe duce is the mutter?" said she, as she wiped her smoked and naked arms, upon her blue apron. "Matter enough." replied Job, with ex¬ ultation. "Sal, you baggage, this ere gen¬ tleman says that nncle John., as is in In- gey, has kicked the bucket, and left us j lots o' tiu." I "Goodness gracious mo," exclaimed) Mrs. Cole, flopping down in a chair.— j "Well Lo-be-sure, I said something would happen. I see a stranger ou the bars last night, and' a pus popped but on the hearth. Pray, sir, ,how much may it be, now?" ¦ "Really, Tna'am, I am not empowered to say; but it's a large sum—a very large sum—a very large sum, I know." . "My goodness I" said'Mrs. Cole, relaps ing a moment into silence, and then" ris¬ ing, cried, "Where's the gals 1 Deai'.mel it's turning me quite topsy turvyi Job,: do call thegal.s." Job obeyed, and Fanny, who had, be" fore made; her appparahce, entered with D0II3', a younger .sister,,about ten'years of age. , , '¦ :.;":'::, ,:;;..; ; ;. "Comehere and: kiasrme,. dears, do,", said Mrs, Cole.;/'Poor things I Theje, po to your faiher, we are ladies: and gentle¬ man (?) now and no mistake. . Fanny, go wash your sister's face and hands, and dress yourself—d'ye hear ?" ¦ •' Thechildren delighted, quitted the par¬ lor to execute her commands and enjoy a holid.ay, I "Excuse me, sir," "sflid. Job, "but if I may be so bold, wh'en shull we touch the rjeady, and know all about it?" "Here is the card of my employers, Messrs. Smith, Robinson & Jones, of Lin¬ coln's Inh Fields, whb will be glad to see you at twelve o'clock to-morrow, if that will suit your convenience, when they will give you every information, and put you in ijo.<session of the fimds. They also authorized me tosay. that if you should riequireanv monev. that I was to advance it." . "That's handsome, atany rate," replied Job; "never refuse ready money. 'Spose you tip a five pun note." • "Anything you please,'' said the oblig¬ ing gentleman ; and taking out my pocket book, took li, note of the amount required from a bundle.of the same fl.iDQsy valuables. : "What a heap you've got there,'" re¬ marked Job, surprised. " I say,- excuse me, but will you just let me have a peep at your trotters?" The gentleman extended his legs, and the superstitious Job, having assured him¬ self that his visitor had really no hoof 'or tail, received the advance. And then they all laughed heartily, and Job and Mrs. Cole both pressed the bearer of thehappy tidings to partake of their hospitality, but he politely declined, promising to avail himself of their invitation when the busi¬ ness was finally settled. At least halt an hour before the appoint¬ ed time, Job and his wife were reconuoi¬ tering at Lincoln's Inn Fields, to discover the ollice of Messrs. Smith, Robinson cfi Jones. They both appearetl in tbeir Sun¬ day clothes, with some alterations and ad¬ ditions. Job's isliort, blHck, scrubby crop of hair being surmounted with a new beaver, rather rough, from the admixture of rabbit down, and encircled by a broad riband and steel buckle; his ruddy, clean washed face set off to advantage by a can• a^ycoloredBelcherha^dke^chief,hissho^t collar in the absence of starch, falling a la Byron : a large red vest, with black smalls, gray worsted stockings,' no gloves, but grasping an old browii cotton umbrella in his right hand, for the protection of Mrs. Cole's new bonnet,''purvided itshould rain," asshe said: and as she had expen¬ ded " a matter of thirty shillings" on that article, she felt very anxious about" its safe¬ ty ; and a very smart article it was too^ being of a iijongrel fashion, between White Chapel and West End, displaying good materials of a great variety of colors. A shaivl, £00, a real "eight quarter" shawl, depended from her broad shoulders, one point whereof touched her heels, and quite eclip.sed the beautiful pattern of her smart gingham gown, with which it did not harmonize either in color or texture, but the poor soul was happj' in her igno- ranee of true taste, although considerably flustered." After referrin^i twenty, times to the well thumbed card, and reading down the lists of names at almost every door, they dis¬ covered the object of their search. "Caught him at last, neatas ninepence 1" exclaimed Job. "Come along, old wo¬ man ;" and entering the passage, he knocked at the door—a single timid knock. No nnswer. He knocked again •—a good hard knockVand forgetting in his excitement' the object of "his visitVac- tually cried out " Coals |" " Qh 1" cried Mrs. pole, checking him— " don't be a fool—don't." ; The door- opened.; "Righta;* a trivet,!'*.said he; : ¦"What'a your* business.?" demanded the-clerk. , /. .. ¦¦,, i. ¦ •. .. " Business?—ohl that's it,".-giving the rdmplfd card. V Don't be afraid on it, young chap. : It's rayther ailed, to ,be sure: but it's all right. We're come about a matterof money." ¦ *'Areyou Mr. Cole?" " .Toll Cole, at your service." ¦ "Oh!" cried lhe young mnn, be- cominjg'suddenly flexible,' "do me the faV6r~tO'walk in, sir. Never mind your shoes, ma'am, continued he, addressing Mrs. Cole, who wa-s rubbing her thick soles upou the mat at the door. They entered the. clerk's oflice, and never were clients more ceremoniously presence ofMr. Bobinson—a gentleman of the old school, with powdered hair and gold speetncles. whose bland and easy manners aoon made them feel perfectly at home. Having requested their attention, with alittle preliminary congrn tula tion upon their got>d fortune, he proceeded to read thelast will and testament of "Uncle John," and folding it up continued, "You underatand the intent and meaning of this instrument?" "Not a jot, by the living jingo?" cried honest Job. " It's all ti-tum-ti and gib. berish to tne. Pray, sir, can't you give it to us in plain English?" Mr. Robinson smiled. Well, then, Mr. Cole, in plain English, this will bequeaths you the sum of one hundred thousand pounds, which at pres¬ ent will produce about' five thousand a year, or nearly a hundred pounds per week." "The deuce it does!" exclaimed Job; and what aro we to do with it, I should like to.kuow?" "Whatever you please," replied Mr. Robinson ; " It is left entirely at your dis¬ posal." "My goodness," exclaimed Mrs. Cole. "Well, it's better to be born lucky than rich." ''Hold your fool's tongue, do;" inter¬ rupted Job. " I say, sir, have you the stufi* here, or where is the bibs ?" : "The money is invested in Fives in the 3ank.of. England," replied Mr. Robinson, "where I should advise you to Keep it." " But, I say," remarked Job, " do you think it is safe?—I've heard of banks breaking, 3'ou know." ' " Itis perfectly safe, depend on't," aaid Mr. Robinson, smiling. "The half yearly dividend is due next month, and my clerk will go with you, if you please, to receive it." "Thank'ee! thank'ee! replied Job ; "I shall feel obleeged if you'll just put us in the way like, for I don't exactly, under¬ stand these matters. I s'pose, old womaui we must sell the sticks, and cut the old shop? Perhaps, sir, it may be in your way to sell it; it has a good name, and the returns are not to be sneezed at; its kept me and mine for a good many years." " I dare say we shall be able lo dispose of the concern," said Mr. Robinson, smil¬ ing at the importance be attached to the shop: at the same time he naturally infer¬ red that the honest retailer of coals en¬ tertained a very inaccurate idea of the fortune which had unexpectedly devolved upon him. "If you will allow me, I will seek for a suitable house for you; in fact, you will always find me ready to assist and advise you, and protect j^our interests." " We're much obleeged to you, sir, I'm suro, ain't wo, Job ?" said Mr-s. Cole. " Worry," replied Job, lost in though^ for a moment. " I tell you what it is, I'm rather dazed with this luck, and don't hardly know which way to turn. Now I shouldn't.like to make an ass. of myself, you know; not exactly let our neighbors think as we was proud ; so w'll consider on it. Me.inwhile 1 ahould like a trifle for a shindy. There'.s my old chum. Tom Simp¬ son, the grocer, he's got a family, aud I know he wants u new front, 'cause he haa talked to me about it. I spose a mattep of twenty pounds or ao would set things to rights in that quarter. Do you think I may go so far as that?" " Certainly," replied Mr. Robinson : "that is a mere trifle; and although j'ou will, of course, move in different society from what yoa h.ive been accustomed to I think it will redound greatly to your honor to remember those frionds you have tried, arid from whom you have been accus. tgmed to receive friendly oflices. Supp ose I advance you a hundred pounds now, and I will aee you again to-morrow or the fol¬ lowing day." " I should be afeared to have ao much in the house indeeed 1 should, sir!" said Mrs. Cole. " Thirty will be enough and to spare." "Lots !" said Job. Mr. and Mrs. Cole sat up nearly the whole night talkingover this great fortune and forming a thousand different projects for the future; and after putting the amount upon paper, and puzzling over tbe sum for a considerable time, they at last began to have a glimmering of tbe extent and value of their possessions. They were both illiterate, but were good- natured and right-minded people; and Job in the fullness of his heart resolved to give away the remainder of his stock to the poor familied who regularly dealt with him, and the next morning his shop was swarmed, and he was riappy. By the evening the slied was entirely cleared and he sent to the Blue Anchor and borrowed chairs nnd tables, and or dered a hot supper, with oceans of drink, for all their friends and their, families in the neighborbood, amounting Xo about thirty porsons in.all. Itwas, in- truth, a merry meeting, and the convivality waa kept up until a late hour. • His chum, Tom Simpson, was eloquent and grateful, lov Job had. dropped in ou the morning to iuvite him, and told him that he had a bit of good luck in the way of .a legacy; and then touched upon the coveted new front to his premises. ; "I'll stand a trifle towards it. Here, catch, hold, Tom?" said he, putting a twenty pound note in his hand, "and don't forgot to come at eight," and away •he ran, leaving the astonished gro.cer in ecstacies at his unostentatious liberality. The next day the empty shed was open¬ ed as usual _; and at eleven o'clock Job and his spouse repaired again to Lincoln's Inn Fields. Fortunately they had fallen into excellent hands, for the firm was highly respectable, and the Mr."Robinson they had seen was a gentleman and a man of property, and felta grent intere.'^t in the honest legatee. J^e took a house for them and furnished it, and at once proposed that the two girls should be forthwith sent to a first rnte boarding-school. In respect lo the father and mother there exi-^^ted agreat difficulty, for, as Job quaintly observed, "It was a difficult thing to teach an old dog new tricks," Mr. Robinson, however, recommended a young gentloman of polished manners, but blessed with ho fortune, who was to fill the situation of tutor, steward, secreta- richly bom they could neither understand nor appreciate; but they gave away a vast sum in chirity, although Job Svould not allow bis name to be "stuck" in the pa' pers. Mr, Robinson, who wasa real friend, in' vlted them frequently to hta table in a family way, until, finding they were pre¬ sentable, he gradualIy*introduced them and their children into society; and as there was neither pride on Job's part, nor a vulgar assumption on his wife's, they were everywhere well received, and gave in retnrn such pleasant parties, under the direction ofMr. Frederick, the tutor, who was every way fitted by b'rth and taste to do the honora in an admirable manner, that their numerous acquainances eagerly accepted their invitations, especially after the first party, when many went out of mere curiosity, but returned home with expressions of delight and amazement at the display. Job had discrimination enough to discover that it was not his money alone that had haade these parties pass so pleasantly, but that it was the skilful management of his tutor. On his first engagement he had paid him two hundred pounds per annum 1 but hearing tbat he had a widowed moth er and two aistera, whom he supported, he generously added another hundred, andgave a hint to Mra. Cole to make them presents now and then, out of sup¬ erfluities, which the kind soul readily complied with. When Fanny, his eldest daughter, had attained her eighteenth year, he took her from achool, by tho advice of Mr. Robin-, son, and engaged an accomplished woman to finish her education. She was a quick* sprightly girl, and very 'pretty, and had already acquired a tone and manner which aurprised and gratified her excel¬ lent parents. About a month after her return bome Job, addressing his tutor, said, " Mr. Law- aon, Mrs. Cole and me have been think¬ ing " " Mra. Cole and T have been thinking, if you please. ^:i," interrupted Mr. Law- son. " Well, never mind grammar and all that just now," continued Job, "for I am speaking natural. We've been thinking it's rather awkward, since Fanny haa come home, to havea young gentleman always fluttering about her." Mr. Frederick Lawaon blushed and trembled ; he evidently aaw the issue ; he bowed and waa silent. " Now tell me, don't you think a likely young fellow like you is dangerous f human nature, you know. You and I have al¬ ways been frienda, and I owe you a'great deal, so speak your mind." " I am sorry to confess, sir, that I think you are perfectly right in your viewa,'» replied Mr. Lawsoa. "Cool," said Job ; " then you don't fret much about leaving." " Indeed, sir, you wrong me " " And, perhaps, you don't think the girl worth looking at, and there's no dan¬ ger." "Sir, I do think she jis a very charm¬ ing young lady; butl have never regar¬ ded herin any other light than the daugh- tei* of a liberal and kind-hearted patron ." " You think the old coalman's daughter not good enough, mayhap, fora gentle¬ man?" ' '* I am too poor and dependent to en¬ tertain any thoughts upon the subject." "Nonsense! a gentleman's a gentleman, if he hasn't a scuddick. To cut the mat¬ ter short, if you can make up matters with Fan, Ishail be glad to have such a aon-in law, that's all \ And Mrs. Cole's my way of thinking—so look to it." A month after this singular tete-a-icte, Mr. Frederick Lawson led Frances Cole, the daughter of Job Cole, Esquire, to the hymenial altar. And proud was the hon¬ est old coalman of auch an alliance ; al¬ though many scheming mammas who had eligible sons, were terrible put out; and wondered what ¦ the old fool could have been thinking about—and he worth a plum, too.

When you are walned, warn yourself. received; one handed chairs, and another the paper, while a third entered the door on which Private was painted in largelot- ters. And they had scarcely, seated themi^elve.s before out popped their visitor of yesterday, smiling and extending his hand. " Our Mr. Robinson will be disengaged in a few moments, and will be happy to see you, Mr. Cole. Good moring,madam," turning .to.Mrs. Cole, who shook her bonr net.and feathers at.him, and said—" How d'ye do?" ¦ ^ The clerks" were all pretending to be busy at their desks-.but. were, in fact, scraping away with their nibless pen, and glancing their curious' eyes at the fortu¬ nate couple,' . .^. ¦ .-, , Their acquaintance kept them in con- Tersation; uhtjl suminoned ,by a" bell.' "Now, if you please.V said/he, and opening tbe door, introduced t^Iem to the ry and companion to. Job; and also,pro¬ vided Mrs. Cole with a companion and a housekeeper "to larn her manners" as Job said laughingly. They both, however, had senae enough to.see the propriety of this arrangement, and'in six months hnd certainly made considerable advance, especially Mrs^ Cole, .for vfomen of all grades are natural¬ ly naore genteel than the male portion of the creation. As for Job, he 'could not, for, the life of him, give up bis accustom¬ ed pipe, and hia pint of porter in the veritable pewter, before he retired for the nighl; and this waa the only luxury of his former days that he coiild qpt be pre¬ vailed upon to abandon. The girls rapidly improved, and Job himself deolared lhat hewas convinced that education was a tine thing, after all. ' They "could not, however; expend one- half tlieir income; the luzuriea of the Peace is the father of friendship. AH men are related to one nnother. He who sees another's iault talks about it, but covers liis own with a potsherd. The time may be very long, but a lie will be discovered at last. The dust of the buffalo is lost in the dust of the elephant. It is easy to cut a dead elephant to pieces, but none dares attack a. live one. He who claps hands for a fool to dance is no better than the fool himaelf. Look not on the vessel, but ou that wbich it contains. If a word be worth a shekel, silence ig worth two. The door that is not open to the poor, will be opened to the physician. In nay own city my Jianie, in a atrange city my clothes, procure me respect.

A Wester editor strikes the names of two subscribers from his list because they were hung. He says he was compelled to be severe because he did not known their present addressee. A young lady out \Ve8t who lately col¬ lided with an icebound sidewalk, remark¬ ed, as she assumed a perpendicular poai¬ tion : "I'll have a man to bang on to be¬ fore next winter." At a concert, recently, at the conclusion of the well-known song, "There's a Good Time Coming," a farmer got up and ex¬ claimed : "Mister, you couldn't fix the date,.could you." A Yankee who occupied a berth direct, ly over a lawyer, began to grow restless.—^ Tbe lawyer, noticing that his restlessness increased, aeked: "I say, are you a fool ?" "No, air, I nm above a fool!" - Fine sensibilities are like woodbines—^ delightful luxuries of beauty to twine round a solid upright stem of understand ¦ ing; but very poor things if they are left to creep along the ground. Few secrets would ever escape if the following rule were complied with: Never confide in the young; new . paila leak.— Never tell your secrets to the aged; old doors seldom sbui cloaely. "My dear madam, can you give me a glass of gi-og?" asked a fatigued traveller in the Highlands, as he er^tered a cabin qn the road s'li^e. "1 ain't got a drop, s.trahger," said thetroman.

"Why, good gracious! replied the woman "ffbat do you reckon-One barrel of vrhiskey is to me and my children vs^hen we a^e oi^t ofn»'*J6- Pearl's birth-day gift was n-photographic album, filled with cards. It was a beauti¬ ful day in October, the trees nround the houee were just beginning to array them¬ selves in bright crimson and gay orange hues; very brilliant were the dress of the maples, and every now and then a stray leaf fell, reminding one that after all this beauty must come bare and desolate decay. Pearl's last thought the night before was " To-morrow will be my birth-day, and her first on waking. "I am thirteen to-day." Dressing hastily she ran down stairs in time to receiye a warm kias from ber father,and a happy year to my dear little daughter." Pearl asked and reoeived a kiss from every one in the house, and wh,en »he had her breakfast, her older sister Mary untied a little package and placed in her own hands jv3t what ahe had been wishing for. I dare eay many of myjlittle readers have seen just auch pretty ones, but Pearl had not and thought there never was one half so hand¬ some. Then, too, it was her father's gift^ and that made it double precious. It held twenty-five picturea, and was bound in red and gilt, with a olasp, on which was in¬ scribed, "From my dear father." Shall I tell you of some of the pictures that were in it? First came Gen. Wash¬ ington, "the father of his country," about whom Pearl's little blue American history was so full; then the i£^J-*t^5ri-2orm of Gen. Scott; next in ordeTCfSiT^S^deraon, the sight of whose face made Pearl in fanoy live over the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and feel her heart, childish as it was, thrill with indignation, hope and fear once more. Several Union heroes came next; then there were likeness of her father, mother and dear sister Mary, look¬ ing just as natural as though they were sitting before her : there was a picture of two dear little girls looking at a bird's nest; a little girl, whose grandmother wa.s teaching her to knit the heel in a stock- ing,and who looked as though she thought very puzziing indeed ; there waa one call¬ ed "the FiratSmile," with the mother and little sister near to watch it on the baby's face; alittle street-sweeper holding out her hand for a penny, as aister Mary had seen them do at the horrible muddy cross¬ ings in Washington ; two little girls feed¬ ing pet rabbits; a beautiful figure of faith, copied from the statue in marble; "night and early morning ;" a dear boy a face that was its mother's joy ; .ptjor emigrant woman with her box and barfel waiting to convey her to a atrange land ; a funny looking zouave out in the storm; and the first snow coming down softly and noise¬ lessly on the little powdered bush by tbe houae, bringing grandfather to the door with the baby, and making the little girl bide her hands under her apron for fear of the cold, and look wonderingly up at the gray clouds. Two pictures wore not yet in, and these Pearl tliought perhaps the most beautiful. One was called the "Welcome Home," and represented very young and pretty girl returning home with her basket on her arm, after a weary walk across the moor. Bark clouds were gathering in the summer sky ; her little dog had leaped up joyously to meet her, grasping her shawl playfully iu his teeth. The other was "Guardian Angels." Fast in the sweet calm sleep of innocence, lay two little children, the dark ringlet, brushed away from their faces, while their little hands lay outaide of-the white spreads. Two angels hovered, round them while they slept. Sistec ^Mary took her sciasors, and cutting off the edges of the card, put the first one in the album, but the last Pearl kept out to look at and handle a little while longer. She thought she could have sat and looked at them all day, but after awhile got tired, and ran oft' to play. The afternoon ahe was to spend with couain Alice. Dinner had been over but a little while when little Mitty Grey came in with her mother. Mitty lived about halt a mile from Pearl. S.he was only ten yeara old, but ahe could not run or walk as other cbildren. A very painful disease of the spine mado her a burden to herself and her poor mother, whose only chidshe was. Mitly'a father was very intemperate, and as her mother was obliged to work hard, you may syppose ahe had nota very pleas¬ ant time. She was generally cheeful and contented, though ahe was a great suffer er, and had/ew, verj few, of this world's pleasures. " If I could walk like other people, help mother, and-run about and play, how happy I should be," was her si¬ lent thought aa she lay on the rude lounge in the plainly-furnished room at home, with its worn rag carpet, table and chairs. But Mitty was a chriatian. She had her doubts, discouragements and sorrows like all the reat of us, though sometimes ahe felt it hard, very hard, to be thus afiliet¬ ed ; yet she reaily loved Jesus, and in her prayers was thankful and happy because she had such a dear, kind mother, who loved her so much. Dear-little Mitty, the Saviour loved her, I am sure, but when He heard and an¬ swered her prayer, ahe did uot know that He waa even theu preparing her for a bet¬ ter and a heavenly home. She had very few playthings to amua** herself with ; a plain rag doll which her motUer bad made* a fow books, her dearest earthly posses, sions, and a slate, on which, when she had time in the long evening,. her mother would try a game of fox and geeae only to make Mitty smile. This afternoon Mrs. Grey had some work to return in the vil¬ lage and some erraild&-to attend fo. It was lonely sitting at home, and as it was such a lovely day, ahe thought Mitty could walk vei'y alowly and stay at P?" **l's unti^ she called for her. "There come) Mitty Grey," said aiater Mary to Pearl as the two alowly approach ed in sight; " how very pale and sick the child looka." She would have, added that tJie doctor had said Mitty would neyer be well, but Pearl ran hastily to meet her, and in a few minutes boih were chatting merrily together, and pretty soon the album was brought out and displayed to Mitty's ad. tpirjng eyea, and if pearl's delight bad "Father sent to New York and bought it on purpose for me," exclaimed Pearl; " isn't it a beauty ?" "I ^-uess it is," snid Mitty ! " it's worth coming a long way to aee. I don't think tbere ever was anytbing half so splendid ; and here's Major Anderson, too." '*"H6 is a General now," said Pearl* pleasantly. "Ye.s, I know: but ii .always seems most natural to call him Major, that was hts name, you know, when hewas at Fort Sumter. Bat I want mother to see these; I'm aure she never saw auythingso uice." Mrs. Grey said they were very beautiful* but she gavo a deep sigh when Mitty limped away again. Perhaps she was thinking hoiv hard it was for Mitty to suffer BO, and y^t have no pleasures to brighten her dreary life aa Pearl had, and no doubt it seemed strange and inscruta¬ ble why she who would have delighted to shower such things on her child ahould not have the power to do so. People do have these sad hard thoughts sometimes; but Mrs. Grey was a good woman, and she tried not to let them last long. She felt that her child was in tho hands of a great and loving ratlier, wlio kuew all her wants and had good and wise purposea in all that He withheld, as wellas in all that He gave. : T -¦ "I will stay here until you come baok," said Mitty leaning back in Pearl's cozy little rocking chair; the well-furnislied room, with its handaome carpet and pic¬ tures, looked so.cheerfuland comfortable, compared with tbe one she had lett. Pearl glanced at her mother. If Mitty stayed, then sha. could notgo to her cousin's; but how could site tell her so? She looked earnestly at her mother, who did not re¬ gard the hint. "Mother could tell her bettei" than I can," thought Pearl, as she recollected the pleasant afternoon, .the visit nnd the attention which would be paid her on her birth-day. Then she looked at thn littlo bowed figure that sat before her, and thought of the pleasant afternoon she could spend if ahe chose to give it to her. Mitty was poor and lame, she had no one to love her but her motlier. Yes, she would stay J she could go to cousin Alice's just as well another evening, and Mitty did not come every day. I cannot tell you how rapidly these thoughts followed in succession through her busy head, but of one thing I am aure; it did not take her half the time to think, it has done me to write them. But Pearl aaid, with a bright smile, " Yes, Mitty, you will stay here; mother and sister Mary are going out, but we can stay in this room, and I'll show you all their names." -Mitty did not suspect the truth, but her face was very radiant as she.suid, "You are very kind, Pearl; that will be so nice; T want to look at each card a long time." When sister Mary went aivay, slie \dss- ed Pearl's cheeli tenderly and whispered, "You are doing what is kind and right. Pearl, and you will never be sorry for it." A very pleasant afternoon the two little girls had together. Pearl was surprised to find how quickly fouro'clock came, and thiire was no danger of it's, being long or tedious to Mitty. "What beautiful albums Mr. Appleton does make !" she said aloud to Pearl; as she studied each picture to her heart's content. "I do love pictures, so dearly, they are auch beautiful things, and one can think of them so; when i am going to sleep to-night I'll .^00 every onoof theee just as plain as can be, and I know which one I'll think of most; it will be "Guard¬ ian Angels." All through Mitty's visit. Pearl was kind and attentive as could be. She drew her chair j'ust where the ligbt fell be.st, ahe fixed the curtain to suit her, and repeated the -name of each picture patiently and kindly, Mitty holding the book mean¬ while very carefully. Eow pleasantly it is for children to have kind, right and gen¬ erous feelings toward each other! When Mrs. Grey returned thanking Pearl for her kindness, she took Mitty slowly home, and then the child's delight and rapturous admiration burst forth.— "O, mother, was't it beautiful, I never saw anything' so nice. 0 how happy I should be if I had Guardian Angels, and Pearl has twenty-four besides." The -sad feeling came back to Mrs. Grey's heart. Mitty aaw it in her face and wasaorry for her words, but her moth¬ er said, "I wish I could give it to you my cbild, but you will havo to content your¬ aelf with tbe Angela themselves, and not their picturea. Next day Mitty was in great pain; even that short walk had been too mucb for her. Her mother nursed ber tenderly, but in the afternoon she had to leave her alone for a while. 'It" made her sorry enough, butshe determined.to walk very fast, and gave her a book to look over while she was gone. She had not been away very long, before there was a slight rap at thedoor. It was alwaya unfastened, so Mitty said, " Come in," and Pearl's bright face ai peared. *Why, Pearl, ta that you, are you coming to stay; I'm so glad, for I have been aick all day and now mother ia gone it is so lonely, " Yea, it'a me," said Pearl, " come to sit a good whilo with you ; and mother aent you some nice peaches." Then taking her seat by the -sick child» she whiled away tvro hours in cheery prat¬ tle, sometimes playing fox and gee.se. B3'- and-by she said, " Mitty, I've brought you something; I don't know how you'll feel about it, but I wan't you to bave it; you won't be hurt, 1 guess. And sbe drew from her pocket, tied in paper, the very picture—^yea, Mitty's astoniahed eyes con¬ vinced her it was " Guardian Angels." " Hurt! O, Pearl! how could I be ; you don't really mean to give it to me ; what will you do yourself ? " Do," aaid the merry Pearl, " I think I'll do very well with all I have. Take it, Mitty." The great big tears gathered in Mitty's eyes; it waa no uae to keep them down, and Mitty thought ahe might aa well let them come first as last. "To-morrow ia ray bith day but I never expected to have auch a present as this. Oh, Pearl, you are too kind !" "Am I," said Pearl, laughing, "well, then, I'll be unkind, and say you muat not cry another bit; so there, noiv lay your card away, and I'll atay until your mother cornea.' When Pearl went, do you think it waa very strange that Mra. Grey pressed warm kias on her brow and said, "God bleas you, my dear child." I don't; and Pearl went almoat all the way in a sort of walk, that was between a akip and a jump. Tbat was Mitty's last birth-day; she waa sick all day, but not loo sick to look with pleaaure at the beautiful picture. A few weeka after, tbe ministering angels who had watched over her all her sad life, carried Mitty's ransomed spirit tojoin the blood-bought throng whicti came out of great tribulation, and bave washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

"Not a jot, by the living jingo?" cried honest Job. " It's all ti-tum-ti and gib. berish to tne. Pray, sir, can't you give it to us in plain English?" Mr. Robinson smiled. Well, then, Mr. Cole, in plain English, this will bequeaths you the sum of one hundred thousand pounds, which at pres¬ ent will produce about' five thousand a year, or nearly a hundred pounds per week."
"The deuce it does!" exclaimed Job; and what aro we to do with it, I should like to.kuow?"
"Whatever you please," replied Mr. Robinson ; " It is left entirely at your dis¬ posal."
"My goodness," exclaimed Mrs. Cole. "Well, it's better to be born lucky than rich."
''Hold your fool's tongue, do;" inter¬ rupted Job. " I say, sir, have you the stufi* here, or where is the bibs ?" : "The money is invested in Fives in the 3ank.of. England," replied Mr. Robinson, "where I should advise you to Keep it." " But, I say," remarked Job, " do you think it is safe?—I've heard of banks breaking, 3'ou know." '
" Itis perfectly safe, depend on't," aaid Mr. Robinson, smiling. "The half yearly dividend is due next month, and my clerk will go with you, if you please, to receive it."
"Thank'ee! thank'ee! replied Job ; "I shall feel obleeged if you'll just put us in the way like, for I don't exactly, under¬ stand these matters. I s'pose, old womaui we must sell the sticks, and cut the old shop? Perhaps, sir, it may be in your way to sell it; it has a good name, and the returns are not to be sneezed at; its kept me and mine for a good many years." " I dare say we shall be able lo dispose of the concern," said Mr. Robinson, smil¬ ing at the importance be attached to the shop: at the same time he naturally infer¬ red that the honest retailer of coals en¬ tertained a very inaccurate idea of the fortune which had unexpectedly devolved upon him.
"If you will allow me, I will seek for a suitable house for you; in fact, you will always find me ready to assist and advise you, and protect j^our interests."
" We're much obleeged to you, sir, I'm suro, ain't wo, Job ?" said Mr-s. Cole.
" Worry," replied Job, lost in though^ for a moment. " I tell you what it is, I'm rather dazed with this luck, and don't hardly know which way to turn. Now I shouldn't.like to make an ass. of myself, you know; not exactly let our neighbors think as we was proud ; so w'll consider on it. Me.inwhile 1 ahould like a trifle for a shindy. There'.s my old chum. Tom Simp¬ son, the grocer, he's got a family, aud I know he wants u new front, 'cause he haa talked to me about it. I spose a mattep of twenty pounds or ao would set things to rights in that quarter. Do you think I may go so far as that?"
" Certainly," replied Mr. Robinson : "that is a mere trifle; and although j'ou will, of course, move in different society from what yoa h.ive been accustomed to I think it will redound greatly to your honor to remember those frionds you have tried, arid from whom you have been accus. tgmed to receive friendly oflices. Supp ose I advance you a hundred pounds now, and I will aee you again to-morrow or the fol¬ lowing day."
" I should be afeared to have ao much in the house indeeed 1 should, sir!" said Mrs. Cole. " Thirty will be enough and to spare."
"Lots !" said Job.
Mr. and Mrs. Cole sat up nearly the whole night talkingover this great fortune and forming a thousand different projects for the future; and after putting the amount upon paper, and puzzling over tbe sum for a considerable time, they at last began to have a glimmering of tbe extent and value of their possessions.
They were both illiterate, but were good- natured and right-minded people; and Job in the fullness of his heart resolved to give away the remainder of his stock to the poor familied who regularly dealt with him, and the next morning his shop was swarmed, and he was riappy.
By the evening the slied was entirely cleared and he sent to the Blue Anchor and borrowed chairs nnd tables, and or dered a hot supper, with oceans of drink, for all their friends and their, families in the neighborbood, amounting Xo about thirty porsons in.all. Itwas, in- truth, a merry meeting, and the convivality waa kept up until a late hour. •
His chum, Tom Simpson, was eloquent and grateful, lov Job had. dropped in ou the morning to iuvite him, and told him that he had a bit of good luck in the way of .a legacy; and then touched upon the coveted new front to his premises. ; "I'll stand a trifle towards it. Here, catch, hold, Tom?" said he, putting a twenty pound note in his hand, "and don't forgot to come at eight," and away •he ran, leaving the astonished gro.cer in ecstacies at his unostentatious liberality. The next day the empty shed was open¬ ed as usual _; and at eleven o'clock Job and his spouse repaired again to Lincoln's Inn Fields. Fortunately they had fallen into excellent hands, for the firm was highly respectable, and the Mr."Robinson they had seen was a gentleman and a man of property, and felta grent intere.'^t in the honest legatee. J^e took a house for them and furnished it, and at once proposed that the two girls should be forthwith sent to a first rnte boarding-school.
In respect lo the father and mother there exi-^^ted agreat difficulty, for, as Job quaintly observed, "It was a difficult thing to teach an old dog new tricks,"
Mr. Robinson, however, recommended a young gentloman of polished manners, but blessed with ho fortune, who was to fill the situation of tutor, steward, secreta-
richly bom they could neither understand nor appreciate; but they gave away a vast sum in chirity, although Job Svould not allow bis name to be "stuck" in the pa' pers.
Mr, Robinson, who wasa real friend, in' vlted them frequently to hta table in a family way, until, finding they were pre¬ sentable, he gradualIy*introduced them and their children into society; and as there was neither pride on Job's part, nor a vulgar assumption on his wife's, they were everywhere well received, and gave in retnrn such pleasant parties, under the direction ofMr. Frederick, the tutor, who was every way fitted by b'rth and taste to do the honora in an admirable manner, that their numerous acquainances eagerly accepted their invitations, especially after the first party, when many went out of mere curiosity, but returned home with expressions of delight and amazement at the display. Job had discrimination enough to discover that it was not his money alone that had haade these parties pass so pleasantly, but that it was the skilful management of his tutor.
On his first engagement he had paid him two hundred pounds per annum 1 but hearing tbat he had a widowed moth er and two aistera, whom he supported, he generously added another hundred, andgave a hint to Mra. Cole to make them presents now and then, out of sup¬ erfluities, which the kind soul readily complied with.
When Fanny, his eldest daughter, had attained her eighteenth year, he took her from achool, by tho advice of Mr. Robin-, son, and engaged an accomplished woman to finish her education. She was a quick* sprightly girl, and very 'pretty, and had already acquired a tone and manner which aurprised and gratified her excel¬ lent parents.
About a month after her return bome Job, addressing his tutor, said, " Mr. Law- aon, Mrs. Cole and me have been think¬ ing "
" Mra. Cole and T have been thinking, if you please. ^:i," interrupted Mr. Law- son.
" Well, never mind grammar and all that just now," continued Job, "for I am speaking natural. We've been thinking it's rather awkward, since Fanny haa come home, to havea young gentleman always fluttering about her."
Mr. Frederick Lawaon blushed and trembled ; he evidently aaw the issue ; he bowed and waa silent.
" Now tell me, don't you think a likely young fellow like you is dangerous f human nature, you know. You and I have al¬ ways been frienda, and I owe you a'great deal, so speak your mind."
" I am sorry to confess, sir, that I think you are perfectly right in your viewa,'» replied Mr. Lawsoa.
"Cool," said Job ; " then you don't fret much about leaving."
" Indeed, sir, you wrong me "
" And, perhaps, you don't think the girl worth looking at, and there's no dan¬ ger."
"Sir, I do think she jis a very charm¬ ing young lady; butl have never regar¬ ded herin any other light than the daugh- tei* of a liberal and kind-hearted patron ." " You think the old coalman's daughter not good enough, mayhap, fora gentle¬ man?" '
'* I am too poor and dependent to en¬ tertain any thoughts upon the subject."
"Nonsense! a gentleman's a gentleman, if he hasn't a scuddick. To cut the mat¬ ter short, if you can make up matters with Fan, Ishail be glad to have such a aon-in law, that's all \ And Mrs. Cole's my way of thinking—so look to it."
A month after this singular tete-a-icte, Mr. Frederick Lawson led Frances Cole, the daughter of Job Cole, Esquire, to the hymenial altar. And proud was the hon¬ est old coalman of auch an alliance ; al¬ though many scheming mammas who had eligible sons, were terrible put out; and wondered what ¦ the old fool could have been thinking about—and he worth a plum, too.

Pearl's birth-day gift was n-photographic album, filled with cards. It was a beauti¬ ful day in October, the trees nround the houee were just beginning to array them¬ selves in bright crimson and gay orange hues; very brilliant were the dress of the maples, and every now and then a stray leaf fell, reminding one that after all this beauty must come bare and desolate decay. Pearl's last thought the night before was " To-morrow will be my birth-day, and her first on waking. "I am thirteen to-day." Dressing hastily she ran down stairs in time to receiye a warm kias from ber father,and a happy year to my dear little daughter." Pearl asked and reoeived a kiss from every one in the house, and wh,en »he had her breakfast, her older sister Mary untied a little package and placed in her own hands jv3t what ahe had been wishing for. I dare eay many of myjlittle readers have seen just auch pretty ones, but Pearl had not and thought there never was one half so hand¬ some. Then, too, it was her father's gift^ and that made it double precious. It held twenty-five picturea, and was bound in red and gilt, with a olasp, on which was in¬ scribed, "From my dear father."
Shall I tell you of some of the pictures that were in it? First came Gen. Wash¬ ington, "the father of his country," about whom Pearl's little blue American history was so full; then the i£^J-*t^5ri-2orm of Gen. Scott; next in ordeTCfSiT^S^deraon, the sight of whose face made Pearl in fanoy live over the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and feel her heart, childish as it was, thrill with indignation, hope and fear once more. Several Union heroes came next; then there were likeness of her father, mother and dear sister Mary, look¬ ing just as natural as though they were sitting before her : there was a picture of two dear little girls looking at a bird's nest; a little girl, whose grandmother wa.s teaching her to knit the heel in a stock- ing,and who looked as though she thought very puzziing indeed ; there waa one call¬ ed "the FiratSmile," with the mother and little sister near to watch it on the baby's face; alittle street-sweeper holding out her hand for a penny, as aister Mary had seen them do at the horrible muddy cross¬ ings in Washington ; two little girls feed¬ ing pet rabbits; a beautiful figure of faith, copied from the statue in marble; "night and early morning ;" a dear boy a face that was its mother's joy ; .ptjor emigrant woman with her box and barfel waiting to convey her to a atrange land ; a funny looking zouave out in the storm; and the first snow coming down softly and noise¬ lessly on the little powdered bush by tbe houae, bringing grandfather to the door with the baby, and making the little girl bide her hands under her apron for fear of the cold, and look wonderingly up at the gray clouds. Two pictures wore not yet in, and these Pearl tliought perhaps the most beautiful. One was called the "Welcome Home," and represented very young and pretty girl returning home with her basket on her arm, after a weary walk across the moor. Bark clouds were gathering in the summer sky ; her little dog had leaped up joyously to meet her, grasping her shawl playfully iu his teeth. The other was "Guardian Angels." Fast in the sweet calm sleep of innocence, lay two little children, the dark ringlet, brushed away from their faces, while their little hands lay outaide of-the white spreads. Two angels hovered, round them while they slept. Sistec ^Mary took her sciasors, and cutting off the edges of the card, put the first one in the album, but the last Pearl kept out to look at and handle a little while longer. She thought she could have sat and looked at them all day, but after awhile got tired, and ran oft' to play. The afternoon ahe was to spend with couain Alice.
Dinner had been over but a little while when little Mitty Grey came in with her mother. Mitty lived about halt a mile from Pearl. S.he was only ten yeara old, but ahe could not run or walk as other cbildren. A very painful disease of the spine mado her a burden to herself and her poor mother, whose only chidshe was. Mitly'a father was very intemperate, and as her mother was obliged to work hard, you may syppose ahe had nota very pleas¬ ant time. She was generally cheeful and contented, though ahe was a great suffer er, and had/ew, verj few, of this world's pleasures. " If I could walk like other people, help mother, and-run about and play, how happy I should be," was her si¬ lent thought aa she lay on the rude lounge in the plainly-furnished room at home, with its worn rag carpet, table and chairs. But Mitty was a chriatian. She had her doubts, discouragements and sorrows like all the reat of us, though sometimes ahe felt it hard, very hard, to be thus afiliet¬ ed ; yet she reaily loved Jesus, and in her prayers was thankful and happy because she had such a dear, kind mother, who loved her so much.
Dear-little Mitty, the Saviour loved her, I am sure, but when He heard and an¬ swered her prayer, ahe did uot know that He waa even theu preparing her for a bet¬ ter and a heavenly home. She had very few playthings to amua** herself with ; a plain rag doll which her motUer bad made* a fow books, her dearest earthly posses, sions, and a slate, on which, when she had time in the long evening,. her mother would try a game of fox and geeae only to make Mitty smile. This afternoon Mrs. Grey had some work to return in the vil¬ lage and some erraild&-to attend fo. It was lonely sitting at home, and as it was such a lovely day, ahe thought Mitty could walk vei'y alowly and stay at P?" **l's unti^ she called for her.
"There come) Mitty Grey," said aiater Mary to Pearl as the two alowly approach ed in sight; " how very pale and sick the child looka."
She would have, added that tJie doctor had said Mitty would neyer be well, but Pearl ran hastily to meet her, and in a few minutes boih were chatting merrily together, and pretty soon the album was brought out and displayed to Mitty's ad. tpirjng eyea, and if pearl's delight bad
"Father sent to New York and bought it on purpose for me," exclaimed Pearl; " isn't it a beauty ?"
"I ^-uess it is," snid Mitty ! " it's worth coming a long way to aee. I don't think tbere ever was anytbing half so splendid ; and here's Major Anderson, too."
'*"H6 is a General now," said Pearl* pleasantly.
"Ye.s, I know: but ii .always seems most natural to call him Major, that was hts name, you know, when hewas at Fort Sumter. Bat I want mother to see these; I'm aure she never saw auythingso uice." Mrs. Grey said they were very beautiful* but she gavo a deep sigh when Mitty limped away again. Perhaps she was thinking hoiv hard it was for Mitty to suffer BO, and y^t have no pleasures to brighten her dreary life aa Pearl had, and no doubt it seemed strange and inscruta¬ ble why she who would have delighted to shower such things on her child ahould not have the power to do so. People do have these sad hard thoughts sometimes; but Mrs. Grey was a good woman, and she tried not to let them last long. She felt that her child was in tho hands of a great and loving ratlier, wlio kuew all her wants and had good and wise purposea in all that He withheld, as wellas in all that He gave. : T -¦
"I will stay here until you come baok," said Mitty leaning back in Pearl's cozy little rocking chair; the well-furnislied room, with its handaome carpet and pic¬ tures, looked so.cheerfuland comfortable, compared with tbe one she had lett. Pearl glanced at her mother. If Mitty stayed, then sha. could notgo to her cousin's; but how could site tell her so? She looked earnestly at her mother, who did not re¬ gard the hint. "Mother could tell her bettei" than I can," thought Pearl, as she recollected the pleasant afternoon, .the visit nnd the attention which would be paid her on her birth-day.
Then she looked at thn littlo bowed figure that sat before her, and thought of the pleasant afternoon she could spend if ahe chose to give it to her. Mitty was poor and lame, she had no one to love her but her motlier. Yes, she would stay J she could go to cousin Alice's just as well another evening, and Mitty did not come every day.
I cannot tell you how rapidly these thoughts followed in succession through her busy head, but of one thing I am aure; it did not take her half the time to think, it has done me to write them.
But Pearl aaid, with a bright smile, " Yes, Mitty, you will stay here; mother and sister Mary are going out, but we can stay in this room, and I'll show you all their names."
-Mitty did not suspect the truth, but her face was very radiant as she.suid, "You are very kind, Pearl; that will be so nice; T want to look at each card a long time."
When sister Mary went aivay, slie \dss- ed Pearl's cheeli tenderly and whispered, "You are doing what is kind and right. Pearl, and you will never be sorry for it." A very pleasant afternoon the two little girls had together. Pearl was surprised to find how quickly fouro'clock came, and thiire was no danger of it's, being long or tedious to Mitty.
"What beautiful albums Mr. Appleton does make !" she said aloud to Pearl; as she studied each picture to her heart's content. "I do love pictures, so dearly, they are auch beautiful things, and one can think of them so; when i am going to sleep to-night I'll .^00 every onoof theee just as plain as can be, and I know which one I'll think of most; it will be "Guard¬ ian Angels."
All through Mitty's visit. Pearl was kind and attentive as could be. She drew her chair j'ust where the ligbt fell be.st, ahe fixed the curtain to suit her, and repeated the -name of each picture patiently and kindly, Mitty holding the book mean¬ while very carefully. Eow pleasantly it is for children to have kind, right and gen¬ erous feelings toward each other!
When Mrs. Grey returned thanking Pearl for her kindness, she took Mitty slowly home, and then the child's delight and rapturous admiration burst forth.— "O, mother, was't it beautiful, I never saw anything' so nice. 0 how happy I should be if I had Guardian Angels, and Pearl has twenty-four besides."
The -sad feeling came back to Mrs. Grey's heart. Mitty aaw it in her face and wasaorry for her words, but her moth¬ er said, "I wish I could give it to you my cbild, but you will havo to content your¬ aelf with tbe Angela themselves, and not their picturea.
Next day Mitty was in great pain; even that short walk had been too mucb for her. Her mother nursed ber tenderly, but in the afternoon she had to leave her alone for a while. 'It" made her sorry enough, butshe determined.to walk very fast, and gave her a book to look over while she was gone.
She had not been away very long, before there was a slight rap at thedoor. It was alwaya unfastened, so Mitty said, " Come in," and Pearl's bright face ai peared.
*Why, Pearl, ta that you, are you coming to stay; I'm so glad, for I have been aick all day and now mother ia gone it is so lonely,
" Yea, it'a me," said Pearl, " come to sit a good whilo with you ; and mother aent you some nice peaches."
Then taking her seat by the -sick child» she whiled away tvro hours in cheery prat¬ tle, sometimes playing fox and gee.se. B3'- and-by she said, " Mitty, I've brought you something; I don't know how you'll feel about it, but I wan't you to bave it; you won't be hurt, 1 guess. And sbe drew from her pocket, tied in paper, the very picture—^yea, Mitty's astoniahed eyes con¬ vinced her it was " Guardian Angels."
" Hurt! O, Pearl! how could I be ; you don't really mean to give it to me ; what will you do yourself ?
" Do," aaid the merry Pearl, " I think I'll do very well with all I have. Take it, Mitty."
The great big tears gathered in Mitty's eyes; it waa no uae to keep them down, and Mitty thought ahe might aa well let them come first as last.
"To-morrow ia ray bith day but I never expected to have auch a present as this. Oh, Pearl, you are too kind !"
"Am I," said Pearl, laughing, "well, then, I'll be unkind, and say you muat not cry another bit; so there, noiv lay your card away, and I'll atay until your mother cornea.'
When Pearl went, do you think it waa very strange that Mra. Grey pressed warm kias on her brow and said, "God bleas you, my dear child." I don't; and Pearl went almoat all the way in a sort of walk, that was between a akip and a jump.
Tbat was Mitty's last birth-day; she waa sick all day, but not loo sick to look with pleaaure at the beautiful picture. A few weeka after, tbe ministering angels who had watched over her all her sad life, carried Mitty's ransomed spirit tojoin the blood-bought throng whicti came out of great tribulation, and bave washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
