Some of the oongrBgetlon were plain; old-Aiihioned people, ^like^anelrea; othera rasUed ap the*^ tisles in bright, rioh eUks, xipenecl the<loon of ouhloned, oupeted pewB, and Bing oat of relvet and gilt-hotiad hymn* books, itxiid-rode home ixi Inxhriooa carriages. :Then they lived in beantifhl hooiea, and had moaio, and everything whioh renden hotoe bo pleaaant. How often I found myBetf looking dovn at my coarse ahoes and homely dress.— Very often I heard little of the aermon, and either did not hear or forgot tbd text, perbaps too mnoh abaorbed in adibiring the finery of some of the congregation, for which I generally received a pretty severe reprimand, with an extra leaf or more to leam of the Shorter Cat- eobism forthe next Tharsday evening.
How prone is the haman heart to evil. In the very, plaoe we went to listen to tbe teaoh- ings of oar Divine Master, and pray for the protection and mercy of onr Heavenly Fatber— in the very hoose where only gciod and pare tbonghts sboald fill onr minds—I was plant¬ ing, fostering, oaltinttlng tbe most hideoas bf passions—envy and ooyetonsness; then and tbere Ibeoameproad and lifted np; ambitions to be placed npon an eqiulity with them; bat pride and poverty are sorry companions, and I am quite sure tbey bronght bnt little comfort to me.
I w&s passionately fond of fiowers. Bat onr garden was filled with vegetables, and oar fields with grain, andthe sweet, bright-tinted cen¬ sers of fragrance were plucked np by tbe roots and flung aw&y as useless enoumbersets of the soil. But away in the neighboring meadows and oool recesses of the wood I found them, an! placed them, "fresh and cool,", every moroing, in tbe little porcelain vases upon tbe mantel-pit'oe.
Every day, on my wsy to school, I passed by Jndge More's residence. It was like that handsome white one you .see glimmering througtt the trees ydnder. They were ahaughty people, and I never ventured into the gate, though I longed for some, of the beantifnl fiowers bordering the terraced lawn, often stop¬ ping to admire them, and wiahing in my heart they oonld only be mine. One morning, Lester, the judge's son, oame oat of the gate jnst as I passed it; in his hand he held a few of tbe brigbt blossoms I had coveted eo long. I must have gazed wistfully at them, for he Immedi¬ ately bade me a pleasant good-moming, at tbe same time handing me tbe flowers, With trembling eagerness I seized tbem,'and I felt my cheeks flash and bum, and the tears gtuh into my eyes,as Itri6d,somewhatawkw&rdly, to thank him. He looked surprised, saying, with much warmth .,
" Never mind, you shall even have abou- qoet every momlng, ifyon like; Lizzie is ooming to scbool next week; she is as bright herself as one of tbeae painted things. My Httle sister. Miss MiilB, I warrant yon, will not forget yoa, if yon love them so."
I told him, in a few words, how grateful I should be, and to hide my confttsion, hurried away.^ Hia little siater Lizzie cime to school after that; every day she brought me fruit and flowers ; I knew wbo sent tbem, and could not help feeUng how kind and thoughtful he was. Sometimes I met bim in the green lane, and he would walk home witb me; often, with little Lizzie, he wonld drop in and spend the evening. Thus tbe summer passed'; the autumn came and went—how happily I can scarcely dare to think I How often be would tell me, " Etta, you are not like other girls.— I respect yon more tban any woman living;" and he would leave me puzzled and wondering why he sbouid talk so.
How I ever came to love that man will al¬ ways remain a mystery to me; bow he ever fancied tbe little rnstic, with brown hair, brown eyea, and sun-browned cheeks, mtist ever re¬ main a secret in the curious history of bearts. People began to remark his ooming; it oc¬ casioned some gossip among tbe busy ones; tbey   shook their beads, whispering myste¬ riously, *'No good  brings  the  scion of tbat bangbty honse to the poor widow's hut so often; j evil might befall the innocent girl, who had , never known the vices and allurements of the ; world; and tbey came with grave looks and ! sage words to give heed to the solemn warn¬ ing of those more experienced in the wiadom I of the world.   I always thanked them polite- I ly, but worshipped my idol as before.
My grandmother was shrewd, and never i altogether liked his close atteotions to me; blaming herself severely- for encouraging the blind infatuation that might lead me intcT a miserable future; but when I told her we were to be married when tbe aweet May flow- „^„, „„„ , era would blossom again, sbe felt satisfied;

' You are sn old maid,
Etta Mills—an old ;
one—no matter, It wa.s all gone, and sbe only sighed for lhe happiness "which might have been."
" Tell us, Etta, do tell nS of wbat you were thinking, just now," urged the eajjer little one, creeping closer; " Grace, and Fanny,and Ks.te, will all stay and help you pare apples all day, if you will only tell ns."
Etta nodded an aaaent, while the girls filled tbeir pans and drew near to listen, and she began:—
In a little abeltered nook, beyond the river stood thegr«y, weather-beaten botise; theroof was Bleep, the eaves were low, fretted here and tbere with broken board and loosened ahlngle. My grandmotber lived there, all alone, wilh deep wooda and roaring waters all around—bnt she was a strong-hearted, courageous woman, and felt no fear; and I, a little girl of nine years, lived with her, having no companions but a shaggy-coated Newfoundland dog, and a blue and gray streaked Maltese oat. Some¬ times I talked with tbem, sometimea with the calves and chickens in the bam yard. Every rational want waa supplied, every capricious wbim indulged; my grandmother's great, round, good-natured faoe looked pleaaanlly upon-me, and ahe denied me nothing. She taught me to read and write. Our little store of voiumea consisted of a few tracts, two prayer- books, and a large brass-clasped Bible; over these I often grew lonely, and nodded, and my grandmother always prophesied a luckless future for my lack of indnatry. Many a girl, at my age, bad ber qnilta pieced and chests of linen prepared for the lime wben she shonid assume the duties of her own houaehold, be¬ ginning as every good housewife should, with storea of plenty.
When I was flfteen, I was eent away to school where X remained one year; then we removed from our riverside bome into a pleasanter neighborhood, and I taught the village school. Thlfl waa & new phase in my life, and I hailed it with joy. 1 loved the sweet, impulsive creatures with their bright, rosy Jkcee looking up to me, half iu love, half in fear; Uttle rogues who would turn the world into « pby- honse U they oonld; and it puzzled many a brave little fellow more to maater the orthog¬ raphy of baseball, in the long oolnmn of apelling, than to leam the aUUfol intrioaolaa of tho game on the play-groimd<
but I said nothing.
Thus one evening we sat alone. I grew uneasy under the searching glances which hci trom time to time, cast upon me. Z knew there was something ooming; I had instinct¬ ively divined it, as I bad felt the change befoi e; there was less afiection in his low- whispered words; there was less of love, more of pity, in tbe dark, passionate eyes.
" Etta," said he," now long have wa been engaged F" " About aix months,'* I replie>l. " Don't you think," he resumed, "there ia too mnoh difference in our education ahd bringing up, for ua ever to be yery happy together?"
A sudden dart of pain ran through me. I felt my cheek blanch, my hlood ran oold, and I could only look the horror I felt. Another throb, and flerce passions rose—I oould have I torn him lo pieces in my sudden anger. All ; tbis time he sat gazing upon me, for I had I answered nothing. An hour afterward we parted calmly, and he bore with him every token of bis troth. I watched hia shadow as it fell for the last time across the door; and it lengthened, and deepened, and blackened, uniil my very sOnl seemed shut in by tbe fearful pall, and a hoarse, choking whisper, of " God forgive you, Lester More; God forgive you 1" were tbe last words he heard. What he suffered. Heaven alone could know, for he only wrrmg my hand in silence, and de parted.
I closed the door anftly, and locked it, and stole baok on tiptoe to tbe fire. The candle burned low, and the fire died slowly away, and the dim, gray shadows of morning troop¬ ed in at the white-curtained windows, before I rose from.my wretched revery. My limbs ached; -I felt benumbed and chilled; all- my glad life.wu gone, and I only wished to die I As the day grew brighter, I kindled anew the fire; thered, fullmoone on the dial-plate ofthe old-fashipned clock peeped over the brim, kis¬ sed by the liltle twinkling, rosy sunbeams, and they seemed langhingly.to dwell upon me, half veiled by the misty oloud-spray jprzoanding them.

The Icellles iateamed, and 'a hot breakfast smoked uprn the table when my grandmotber rose.' I went mechanibally about mr work.' How sad and apiritless I felt I what an aimlesa existence wasinine,forlhad notbing to live fori Uy grandmotber soon knew all; I oonoealed noth - iug; never in the most trlMng matter bad I deceived her. - Her thin, withered hands clasp¬ ed mine, her streaming eyes were raised to Heaven, and we both knelt hy that lonely beartb-slone, and prayed for atrength from Him wbo alone could bring ns comfort in the deepest afflictions. Wben woTOse, not a word was said, and the little room shone bright and tidy before Heft for school.
A few months after, Lester married the beautiful siren of song. I saw the bridal party daah hy onr door; not withont a quicker heartthrob; and we mek-sometlmea at the gay parties which were given in honor of his return.
B^ and by people began to gossip, and Bay his wife had a temper 6t her own,'and that be did not lead quite so happy a lifo aa might baVe been expected. The jndge wks mticb abroad, taking tripsj sometimea, that kept'him months away from the paternal mansion.— Little Lizzie remained witb Lester, wbo, in rettim, condescended to give her especially into my charge. Dear Uttle Lizzie, with ber brigbt golden ringlets, and sweet laughing blue eyea I • I did love her more tbau all else in this world. Iloved her beoanae she was beautiful; I loved her for the sweetness of her disposition, and constant kindness and generosity to tboae aronnd her.
Two days had tbe little girl been absent from school. How I missed ber I Then word was brought that ahe was ill, very ill; again, that the most hideous of all diseases, the .small pox, had broken out npon her.
The family was in utter oonatematlon; a panio seized tbe servants, and they fled. Mrs. Lester More suddenly recollected a promised viait to her dear mother, whither sbe immedi¬ ately proceeded; the old boosekeeper, Margery, picked np her bundle and started, and in less than a week the great handsome wbite house looked lonesome enongK I diamissed school awhile ; people hnrried their children Into the counlry, lest tbe pestilence might spread, and I flung away all my pride, and hurried lo ntirse the poor, deserted little one. Alas for my poor petl Never would beauty dimple the full round cheeks again. Whenshe saw me, a languid smile of recognition passed over the tmsigbtly features, and she tried to raiae ber Uttle hands to mine, bnt they were fastened to ber aide.
"Oh, my poor Lizzie I*' I said, again and again, bending over the little sufferer, while the hot tears rained down upon the parched cheeks. Even then the poor thlog tried to comfort me. I had not noticed, until then, that Lester was in the room. He oulyglanced at bis Uttle favorite, and harried to the win¬ dow. It was sometime before he approached again, and when he did I was calm. How we watobed over the poor child—not days, but weeka. Sometimes we were relieved, bythe kindly neighbors, who StiU bore marks upon their forebeada whioh the loathsome enemy of comelineas had left.
Lealer'a father was in London; he waa not expected home until the following spring. Many summers had tbe blossoms brightened aod faded upon his mother's grave. Two oth¬ ers reposed beside, who long before bad crossed the "stUl water"—tiny heaps of earlh, whiob told how brief their Uttle apan had been. Ah I mnoh of grief, and oare, and sorrow had been theirs; only Lester and Lizzie remained ; the heartless desertion of bis wife, In this trying hour, waa perhaps, thehittereat ofall. Never bad her name passed hla lipa, in my presence It waa a terrible place for me. I avoided him as much as possible, keeping our watch at separate honrs ; but somelimea he would come, looking so pale and wretched, and haggard and worn, tbat it waa with tbe utmost diffi¬ culty tbat I could restrain myself from falling at his feet, and weeping with him, too; for I loved him—God alone oould know how I loved that man atili I—thonghl know it was gnitt lo keep him forever bid away in my heart.7— Ah I only too well I knew how his sunbeam of beanty bad ^own hldeoua and black before him, and he straggled fieroly with the blind love be still felt for me, which was now orily a misery to na both, and saw the deep gulf that stretched wide between us I Oh ? it was a dangerons place for me; yet all the while how calm I wast Do not think I waa there alone in that honae with him. From hiin I felt no fear; but I did fear the goasiping, scandal-loving world; already bad I felt its venomous fangs—wonder not that, initinctive- ly, I dreaded it again. At an exorbitant price, Lester had secured the servicea of a colored woman to take charge of tbe culinary depaM.- ment—Ihough, conaoience knows, we needed little fnea and trouble for us—and a atout, red- armed Biddy to asaiat in the other household affairs. All the bouse had been closed exoept the sonthern wing, contiguous to the rear bnilding. It overlooked green, rolling mea¬ dows, acres In extent, and a thickly wooded strip of country, with a distant view of the blue watera of the Miami. Dayton, in the distance, shone red upon the hUl side; the glittering spires and while walla glistened in the Bunsbine afar. Other village rose, nestled away in tt'e cool valley, or peeping throngh denser woodland with the glittering sheen of other waters, overhung by the same clear, beantifnl sky above.
I had watched by tbe little girl for the last three honrs alone. Sbe slumbered heavily, moaning at intervals, as if in great pain. J felt uneasy, for the physician had been there four times during tbe afternoon. A sense of some dread calamity oppressed me—why, I could not tell. I leaned out of the open win¬ dow untU tiie fiery stm went down, and the soft, hazy twilight veUed tbe distant villages. A dim, vapory clond balf obscured the yonng moon, and the Uttle stars kept winking soft, acIntiUating flashes of ligbt all over the woods, and fields, and aweet murmuring waters.— Charlotte, the colored woman, bad lit one burner in the lamp, whioh only ahed a mel¬ low, hazy light overthe room. I immediately lefl the window, and reaumed my luxurious purple-cushioned chair by the side of Lizzie again; somehow, that night, I did not like to sit alone. As I sat there, in the deep stUtnesa, thinking, shadows grim and ghastly flitted noiselessly over the carpet, and roUed them¬ selves inlo fantastic, frigbtfnl, horrid shapes —playing at " iiide and seek'' in the comers, stretoblng upward, over wall and ceiUng, and then back Into the comers again. The cicada cUcked sharply In the bushes without, the cricket anawered from the hearth witbin, and the death-watch in tbe wall ticked bo drearily! bnt it bronght no terror, for aolenoe had taoght me that the little " tiokiog " eoimd it made was only aoaUof love. Again I glanced at tbe little sleeper, and thought of the ^'angela whoae faint f .otsteps " might " tinkle on the tufted fioor," in tbe.silent night, and waft our precious darling upward, and I lot ked again inlo the blue depths above, with tbe soft, sU- very radiance of the stars glimmering through, and wondered why we should grieve to give ber up. The spirit was lovely, but, oh, the hideons setting I The poor, ptirple, swollen face, bore but Uttle resemblance to anyihing human, and I contd not help mnrmuiing again '* Why should we strive to keep her?"
It was quite late when Lester oame up. How pale he looked 1 I was about to remark some¬ thing, when he handed me the evening paper, pointing to a paragraph, whioh ohronloled an- other terrible steamboat disaster. The boat waa burnt to the water's edge-^tlu«e htudred passengers lost. Marion More, Lester's wife, waa dn that boat I her name upon the list of the missing I He snatched the papei rudely from m<9, tearing It into fragments, >hioh he flung, pieoe by piece, npon the amoaldezing flre.- An insane light glowad In this MalAi^ cyMthitguadt^oatufaivdflaih'iBffaMd

The phyatoUn was Imme¬ diately sammoned, who pronounced it brain disease, together with a desperate attack of smaU-pbx. .The risckless man had made no preparation for the coming evil. I begged only that the pbyslolan and his wife" should oome and stay at the house, dlBpatching an immed late summons for the father; but before he oame, little Lizzie had been folded in white garments, and laid within the " narrow honse " —and it was with mnoh diflloalty thatlbe coald recognize bis son, now hia only remaining ohild. The old man tried ,to bear up with Chriatian fortitude, bot it was only too plain tbat this calamity was weighing him down to the-very earth.
As soon aa Lester was out of danger, I left; it was-no plaoe forme, but I felt thnt Ihad done my duty, Ijwaa now looking aboat where I oould hide myself, where, I might never hear hia name again. I found this plaoe. My grandmotheir oame with me. Years and years have passed; whether Lester More is living yet or not, I am sore I cannot teU, bnt I hope, in all my life, he may never oross my path again.
