What was she like ?   I cannot tell. I only know God lored her well. Two noble sons her gray hairs bleat,— And ho, their eiro, was now at rest.
And wby her children loved ber so, And callod her blessed, all sball know ; Sba never bad a soICah thought, Ifor valned wbat her hand had wrought.
Sho could bo juat in apite of love And cherished hates she dwelt above; Iq aick-rooins they that had her care Said she was wondrous geutle there.
It was n fearful trust, sho knew. To guide her young immorlala through ; But Love and Truth explained the way, And Pioty made perfect day.
She taught tbom to bo pure and true. And brave, and strong, and courteous, too : She made them icvorcuce silver hairs, And feol tho poor man's biting cares.
Sho won tbem ever to her side; Some was their treasure and their pride; Its food, drink, shelter pleased them hest, And thore tbcy found the sweetest rest.
And often, as the shadows fell. And twilight had attuned tbem well. She sang of mauy a noble deod. And marked with joy thoir eager heed.
And most she marked their kindling eyea When telling ofthe victories That mado the Stars and Stripes a name. Their countrj rich in honest fame.
It was a noble lnnd, she said,—' Its poorest chldren lacked not bread: It was so broad, so rich, so froo, They sang iU praise boyond tho sea;
Aud thousands sought its kindly shore, And none wero poor and friendless more: AU blessed the namo of Washington And loved the Union, every one.
She made tbem feel that they were part Ofa groat nation's living heart.-— So thoy grew up, true patriot boys, And knew not ali their mother's joys.
Sad was the hour when murmurs loud From a great black advancing cloud Mado millions feel thc coming bruath Of maddened whirlwinds, full of death!
She prayed tho skies might soon be hright, And mado her sons prepare for fight. Bravo youths!—their zeal proved clearly theu In such an hour youths can bo mon!
By day eho wont from door to door,—
Men caught her soul, unfoU before ;
By night sho prayed, and planned, and dreamed
Till morn's red light war's lightning seemed.
The cry went fourth; stopped her sons In martial bluze of gleaming gitng,- Still striding on to perils dire. They turned to catch her glance of fire.
No fears, no fond regrets she knew, But proudly watched thom fade from view; "Lord, keep them so!" she said, and turned To where her lonely hearth-fire burned.
LIFE AS IT IS.
In one of the principal streets ofa great oity stood a largd boardlng-lionse, whose wbite naarble front and general ait bespoke tbe aris- tooraoy of its inmates. One conid tell it was a boarding-boase, from the many faces—fair and plain—sitting at or near the windows. It was five o'olock—the fashionable dinner-boar. Already the pablic drawing-rooms and prirate parlots were filled with yonth and baaaty. In one, a bevy of fair women were grouped to¬ gether, talking rapidly and excitedly.
" I tell yoa, it is mighty strange. Jaue saw Mm oome oat of ber room twice to-day; and last nigbt. after tbe Soatbem train came in, at oneo*olock he went straight to ber room." " Are yoa sare yoa can rely on Jane's word Clara f I am sore I sboald not trost my maid in a similar oase. They are all fond of tbe marrelloos.''
" Yoa are really complimentary, Miss Brad¬ ley.—If you keep servanta servants whose word you cannot trust, I do not."
** The balls are dimly lighted at tbe boor," sud anotber kindly voice; " perbaps it was Mr. Leeds she saw."
" No,—Mr. Leeds baa dark bair and eyes. This man bad fair bair and blue eyes—real aristooratio-looking, Jane said.*'
" For pity's sake, do let tbat poor Mrs. Leeds alone. Of course it was some relative, or be would not be going to wake ber up at tbat time of nigbt. Aa for being in her room In daytime, tbat is nothing strange— if he bad gone tbirty times. At a botel, one's room is one's bome ; and wbo wants to rnn to tbe drawing-rooms to see every one tbat calls V
"Well, I agree with Clara Wilbur," aaid anotber voice.   I do not think we should no¬ tice Mra. Leeds any more.   I skaa't for one. Sbe is too secretive and mysterioas." "I shan't notice ber, cither." *' Nor I—nor I," said one and anotber. "Well, ladies, I am   very-sorry  for the I coarse yon bave taken—for my part, I con¬ demn it.   Icannot blame Mrs. Leeds, if she is not disposed to be commnnicative regarding her family affairs.   I believe she bas some sorrow tbat we do not know of.    I am inter¬ ested in ber—^her pale, sweet faoe touches me. I, for one, shall treat her politely—having seen notbing to caase me to do otherwise.—^ We, none of us, bave more than a speaking aoqualntanoe witb her, at any rate.   It is not at all likely she would conSde ber tronbles, or tbe motives of ber actions, to almost stran¬ gers," and the lady passed into an adjoining room.
"Dear mel bow independent wearei It seema to me, Mary Bradley plumes berself a great deal upon her wealth."
"OhClara 1 liow oan you say sof" said tbe kindly voice before mentioned. *' Mary has less pride, and cares leas for money, tban any one of us."
"Well, she needn't be so wonderful straight- laced—but girls, tbere comes General Lane.— Let UB get up our very prettiest smiles."
A tall, noble form, in full regimentals— chapeaUf sasb, epaulettes, etc.—entered tbe room. He waa a handsome mau of fifty— dark-eyed and olive-skinned—the beau of the hotise. Though fifty years bad passed over bis head, bis lofty form was yet unbent, and bis beart as yoang as it was twenty years ago. Ue was a noble specimen of manhood ; and notwithstanding his balf century, not one of the fair beauties aroand him woald have rO' fused him her "lily baud;" for was he not handaome and wealthy ? And, altboagh he had Been many a bloody field, hia deep voice was almost gentle, and" an almost womanly tenderneaa brooded in tis eyes, Aa he ap¬ proached the ladies, he said:
" Good-evening, fair dames. What is the newB?"
" General 1 yoa have just missed a rare diah of BcandaL Mrs. Leeds waa done to a turn. I sm sorry you missed it.''

If phe were a widow to-morrow I woold try to win her." . As he fintahed Epeaklng two persoas came pacing slowly downthe broad hall. -The woman was alight and-^gracefal, with dark hair and eyes. She wore a robe of black velvet—her only ornaments being a coral brooch, olasping a collar of rioh laoe arpnnd her..white throati and the ooial oomb that oonfiued her jetty oorls' The gentleman was ''tall and aristocratic," with " fair batr andblne eyea "—^being doabt- lesa, the identical man that Jane had seen enter Mrs. Leed's room the ^ night before. Whilst they watched the gracefnV movements of the two tbe gong sounded, aud the entire oompany passed into tbe brilliantly lighted dining-room. It so olianoed that Guneral Lane's rooms adjoned those of Mrs. Leeds. He had only retnmed to the city a fortnight before, after an absence of seven weeka—dnring which time the stran^r-^Hrs. Leeds—had come among them. Immediately after dinner he had retired to liis own room, maoh tb tbe disoomfltnlre of the ladles. Aa he.aat reading in his own room—Hrs. Leeds and the world forgotten—he heard aknook at the lady's door, and, as it was opened, heard a woman's voioe exclaim:
"Oh, dear Charlie, is it youi Come in; yoa look tired and worn out. Come and lie dow^ on my comfortable lounge and reat, while we have a real good old-fashioned talk.''
The General was surprised to find how plain he conid hear, tiU he remembered the door between tbe rooma. " How long oan you atay, Charlie ?" "Only till ten, Carrie.   I hare au engage¬ ment at ten to meet Lace Ganterbary.   But, Carrie, you too look 'tired and wom out,* What is wrong, my pet V " Nothing, Charlie; you only fancy so." " You cannot deoeive me, Carrie—^you are ohanged.   Something is miasing from yoar eyes ; and the rare old gladuess of spirit, tbat waa my pride, is gone now." Then, ere she could reply, he added. ' • Where is Harry to-night, ?" The clear voioe was unfaltaring that replied. " He has basiness oot to-uigbt." " He was out last night, when I oame, at one o'oiook.   Is it b is custom to leave you thus alone at night, Carrie F" Oh I no, indeedi   It just happened so." "Come into the inner room, dear, Ihave maob to say to you, it ia now home like."
Their voices only reached the General's ear, now, in a kind of subdued mormuring. Yet he could not read. The spell seemed broken. For an honr he alternately paced the fioor and tried to read. He was jnst about retiring^ when voices from the next room reaobed him again.
" So you mast go, Charlie ? I dislike to have you go, bat I most not be selflsh."
" And I dislike to leave you, sister mine; but it must be. To-morrow I will spend with yoa—day and evening, too. Look in yonder mirror, Carrie—see what a tiny thing you are! Who would imagine we were children of tbe same pareuts ? You, with your dark hair and eyes, and mine both bright. It is too bad! I should have had the dark hair aud eyes, Carrie."
"Yes, Charles, but, then, yoa know Vic Canterbury says fair bair iknd eyes are ' so aristocratic,' said Carrie, archly.
" So sbe does. Batgood nigbt mypr^cious sister. You grow more like yoar motber every day, Carrie I"
" His sister 1 Ob, I am bo glad." And the noble warrior felt almost like falling npon hia knees and thanking God for tbe woman's parity. lie bad not doubted it; bat the curse of scandal is that in spite of one's better nature—wben one bears so mucb—aometbing of distrust will oling to tbe heart.
Soon, tbere oame a knook at the General's door—a summons for bim to go to tbe apart¬ ments of a brotber officer, on business^ whoae rooms were sitaated in another part of tbe bouae.
As he was returning, at twelve o'clook, he eaw a small, alight figure coming up the hall from an opposite direotion. As be came nearer he saw tbat it was Mrs. Leeds. Sbe still wore the rich dress she had wom to dinner. A Bupurb crimson shawl of Canton crape was flung over her head, almost covering the bine black curls, and tightly clasped under tbe chin by two small, white hands. But the wbite, despairing face, tbat rose from out tbat crim¬ aon drapery would haunt one a lifetime.
As she passed the General, she drew her shawl over her face, as though to conceal it; and he, gallantly, fixed his eyes upon the fioor, as thoagh iu a browu study. He reached his rooms too excited to sleep. Sometbing was agog I what was it? Taking down his well worn Bible, this " hero of a hundred battles" read, as was bis nightly custom. It might have beeu ten, or perhaps fifteon minntes, when a light atep passed bis door, accompanied by one slow aud heavy—the two eutering Mrs. Leeds'room.
Soon he heard the sweet voice of Mrs. Leeds say pleadingly:
" Don't be angry, Harry, Sit down, dear; I bave a nice cup of strong coffee on tbe bed¬ room stove for yon. Come and drink it, and then let us go to bed, I'm so tired."
" Why don't you go to bed' theu ?" said the man crossly, iu thiok, drawling 'tones, lhat showed he was in liquor.
" 0 Harry, I couldn't 1 Butnow tbat you are here safe, I cau sleep quite content. Come Harry 1"
" Go to bed yourself, Mrs, Leeds, I shan't sleep to-night. Where is that precioua brother of yours? Has he come here to actas a spy on my actiona ?"
"OHar.-7lyou knowthat Charlie would not do tbat—Charlie, that haa been your friend from boyhood. He waa sorry you were not here to-night,"
"Ayl ru be bound you had a rare diah o^ scandal at my expense.   Ha 1 ba I ba I"
" Harry Leeds, you know better!" and for the first time the tones were indignant. " You knowthat I have been a faithful, tme wife and would speak disparagingly of you to no one—not even to my brother.' But oome, now* Harry, undress and let tis go to rest."
" Tbere is no use in fooling, Mrs. Leeds, I am going back to room 195; the boys want me.— Mind you don't oomeaft«r me again," And he rose to go.
" Oh my dear husband, please don't go off again," said abe in pleading tonea.
"Take your arms from about my neok, wo. man, or I will strike yOBi."
" Ho, Harrie; you are but jesting. You would not strike me, your own Carrie f"
" Wonldn't I ? Tben, to convince you, take tbat." And a heavy, bratal blow fell upon tbe slender form; and with an oatb, the man lefl tbe room, slamming the door after him.
" Not a sound came from the Btricken wo¬ man. General Lane listened in an agony of suspense for the faintest sound to relieve tbe dread he felt lest tbat heavy blow had killed the frail, loving wife. Several minutes paased Then he oonld endnre It no longer.
"lam old enough to be her father," he soliloquized. "I will throw aside all etiquette and see if she ia hurt." He forthwith opened the door and looked within. Ahl what a eight met his eyes 1 Upon the floor lay the striken wife, pale and motionless, the blood trickling from the woanded arm where it had come in contaot with the stove. Lifting the inanimate form, he laid it npon the 8o£a, and tears^-^that were no shame to his mmnhood^fell npon the pale, young face. He bathed her face with water, and soon, to hla great joy, ttie Urge, dteamyj blue ey«8 opienect andrMt«d upon him.
She looked at him'as though liewni^eTe3,;.'tlien; in a moment, reooUeotlon retamed, and aflash of shamb-dyed her fatr foce. In answer to her qtieatlbnypg look lii her ej^a, he said: ^, 1 ^' My jrbom joins yonrs. Madam, I knew yon were alone; and hearing no aoimd -after your ¦jail, I^feawdyo'n mtght;be' T6r^mu%;^httrtt itiiere^ina I took the Ubehy'bf obniinginr I^b not mind me. I am an old man-^ld enongh to be your father. I will ring for the obamber- nifdd to assist you, and then leave you."
" Oh no I lean do very wen. I would not have her oome and see me in full dinner dress at this hour, and see this blood too."
Trying lo rise, she fell back faintly, and tears pressed throngh the olosed lashes.
" I am deeply indebted to you already, Gen* Lane; and if yoa will assiat me into my bed¬ room, I oan then manage alone." Tenderly the uoble man supported the slight form Into the adjoining room. Aa he tumed to leave she said:   ¦
"General, yoa wiil keep this dreary soene a secret, will you not ? I ahould die with morti¬ fication tohave itknown throughout the hoose.'
"IwiU never speak of It, madam; but.I would advlae you to inform yoor brother, and have him remove you from under Mr. Leeda' control. Bzouae my blnntneaa, madam; it ia meant in kindness. My heart aohes for yooj and I oannot help but speak plainly. Good¬ night, madam.!'
Next day the sweet faoe was very pale and the eyea heavy; bnt that was the only- trace of the last night's confiict. The woanded arm was oovered op from the brother's sight, and he never dreamt of hia only sister's anfferings. Mr. Leeda did not retom that day. The brother and sistor spent the evening alone— he reading aloud while she sewed. It seemed almost like the pleasant evenings at their own dear home, and Bometbiog very nearly ap¬ proaohing to a smile lingered about tbe lips of that anxioas wife. Ten o'clook came, and no Harry; then eleven—twelve—one 1
" It is strange what keeps Harry. Is he in the habit of staying out so late, Carrie ?"
Before the sister ooald reply, there was the tramp of many feet npon the ataira, and in another moment a knook at the door. On opening it four men entered, bearing a mde litter, on which lay the body of Harry Leeds. "DmnkI" exolaimed Mr. Sloan hia snsplo¬ ions forthe fi;st time giving themselves vent. "No; dead, sir," answered the man, "he was killed in a drunken brawl."
The wretched wife sank to the fioor in a deadly swoon, while the brother shed manly tears over the wreck of what once was a good man—the loved friend ofhis early years. Of the sad burial, and the bereaved woman's grief, we need not Bpeak. She badloved him through all and now he waa dead (and as it ever ia) his faults were forgotton. Again he waa tbe beloved Harry of other days, the hus¬ band of her choioe. Of coarse, everything was exposed now, and tbe ladies of the honse fonnd ont at last, the canse of Mrs. Leeds fitfal condnct—known at last wby she was so ofteii seen in the balls at night—wby she stood listening, with ber door ajar, at all hours of tbe night. Those who had been the firat to malign her, now came forward to offer their earnest sympathy. *They were all admiration now, of the herolo wife who had borae her sor¬ rows so meekly and so qaietly. But It was too late. When a kind word would have beeu greatfnl to her aching heari, they stood aloof^ and gave, instead, cold, saspicious looks, that sometimes cut to the heart with adeeperpang than cold words. Thousands suffer thus, day hy day, from the misconstruction of tbeworld. They must bear it, too; for if the sufferer is a woman—tbere is no redress unless she nnsexes herself, and goes forth to battle for her rights. Oh I tbis scandal tbat crtishes people to the earth-.-that tramples thousands of bleeding bearts nnder the feet of tbe multitude I Does not life bring enough of sorrow ? Will not onr earth patb be full enongh of thorns, and life's cup full enough of woe, tbat these our friends aud neighbors, must strike it home more snre ly? No, it is not enough. Hearts always have, andalwaya will suffer from tbis'greatomoifixion, scandal I While the world lasts hearts will be shorn of every flower of hope and fanoy, by the (too often ouly thoughtless_) tonguea of scandal-lovers—will see their sources of hap piness, and tbeir bopes drop off one by one because a few worda of soandal has deprived them of this or thatprecious friend. They must learn to suffice for themselves—must be out¬ wardly calm—muat turn away from the too bappy past—take up the broken threads of life, and try to weave tbem in among their every-day distress, but alaa and alasl skilfnl as one may be, the ragged edges willbe upper¬ most!

Soon after t]iey left home, the entire party together. Inj October there was a double wedding in Qt^oe Chnroh—thatof General Lane and ills beautiful Carrie—Charles Sloan and Vic Cantbrbury—"Laoe" atanding, look¬ ing down to hiB toes, regretting that he had not made bett^tr use of time, and been married too.

It was the tenth of July, that warm, op¬ pressive mouth, when all tbe fashionable fry are "out of the city." Ifany are so scaroe of the " almighty doUar" that they cannot go in reality, let snob put themselves under oar guidance and iu the twinkling of an eye, our joumey " by land and sea" is compassed, and we are nearer the shore of—no matter where; enoagh that we are ata watering- place. There is tbe usual pleasant exoitement —the nsaal pleasant faces hidden nnder neat travelling-bonnets, or those more couveuient dark-colored hats, the pretty creatures sport.
As the steamer roanded upto the landing, all was confuaion. Amid the sbort, hurried pnf&ngs of ber engines, and tbe mad shrieks of her whistle, might he heard such remarka as these:
" John, where is my ahawl and basket ? Get them quick, and let us harry out, and get a seat in one of the front oarriages."
" Bridget, have you the lunch basket, and the three valises ?   Are tbe children safe ?"
" ilotber—mother I wait a moment—please
let ns atop at the House, the Rtdgeways
are going to stop there. It's only fifty cents a day more ?"
"Your foot off my dress, sir—there, you have torn aU the gathers out."
Amid all this hubbub, one gentleman stands calmly by, an amused spectator of the scene. Look we again. Ah I aa I live, it is the gal¬ lant General Lane, looking younger and hand¬ somer than he did two years ago. As they landed, seeing that tbe carriages and hacks would aU be fall, he threw his ahawl over hia shoulder, cleared the fence at one bouud, and after crossing several fields, found himself in a private lane that led up to the hotel. That pleasant, ahady lane was familiar ground to him, for many a time in other years he had traveled It. He soon reached the hotel, and passing in to the offiae, seotired a pleasant cbamber, overlooking the sea, before the crowd arrived. As he was crossing the hall, he met hia acquaintance of two years ago, Mr. Charley Sloan.
The pleasant surpriae was mulnal"; and the General's pleasure was visibly heightened by findiug Mrs. Leeds was spending the summer with her brothei in thia delightful spot. The GeueraUthongbt, as he sat beside the lady at tea, that abe was more beaatiful than ever.— She StiU wore mourning for her hnsband, and thongh she was stUl aad, the wild, startled, expectant look waa changed for one of calm contentment.
Days and weeka passed rapidly away and BtiU tbe General lingered. The lady's beaoty and rare sweetness of manner aeemed to grow upon him day by day. About a fortnight after his arrival, Charles Sloan was thrown into a state of excitement by the unexpected arrival of Lovelace Canterbury, and his sister Vic—particularly Vio. After that, Charlie waa, to nse his sister's words, "no good ataU." Had it not been for the General, she wotild havebeen left to spend her eTenlngs alone, whilst the lovers paced the moonUt strand, or sat in quiet oomeis, talking that language that is familiar to ns alL Somehow, Carrie .Z^seds leamt to expeot his oonstaht presence—to de¬ pend upon him instead'of CharUe; andao It oame aboot thatit did not. startle hex a bit when one pleasant starry night he aaked her to b9 hia wife.

Bill Hansonrorthe Worst Boy In School*
¦ "Bu* Hahsom," as he was oalled, was the worst boy In school, and, th faot, bx the w;hole town; 8oIds,tMaher8aid,andDpta^^^ bat that she found something for which to punish him. The last day of sohool had come, and BUl deoiared he never would enter the sohool-honse again, and weut home mat¬ tering threats against hia teacher and every¬ body elee. Bat BtU was nota bad hoy at heart, as my readera wiU aoon see. Por a number of years past the aphool had been kept by a iady whose mode of teaohing was rather autlqoated, and who belisved, with Solomon^ " that sparing the rod spoils thechild;" and aa ahe wns not thonght very highly of by either old or yonng, it was proposed to make a ohange the following term,. Bot it made.no difference with Bill, "for," aaid he, "they are aU alike;, and no matterhow hard a fel¬ low triea to mind, they wiUfiod something to femlehimfori" Sohepassedthe vaoation, as osoal, cutting capers, and troubling the neigh¬ bors in general. Satarday before the soiumer term commenced, he was passing by Deaoon Grant's, and happening to look up into a tree by the fence, he espied a blrdnest, and olimb- ed'np to get it. The new school teacher had arrived that moming; her name waa Mias Maynard. Seeing Bill threngh tbe window, she inqnired " If he was to be one of her scholars ?"
" Yes," repUed Mrs. Grant, « and he is the most trooblesome boy in the whole viiage; I don't envy yon being his teaoher."
Miss Maynard made no reply, but went out into tbe garden, as if to gather some flowers. BiU Baw hor, but remained standing npon the fence, eyeing her with a cnrions look. She walked Blowly down the path, aud finally stop¬ ped by Bill, and said, with a pleasant smile, " What are yoa looking for, litlle boy ?"
"A bir.la nest," he said, making a motiou as if to olimb .the tree, "and I want to get the eggs and the nest."
"But don't you think It is wrong to take away the Uttle birds' homes? they sing so sweetly tfaat I cannot bear to have them go away."
"I never thought about its being their homes before," be said, " bat I won't take 'em if you don't waut me to." And he looked pleasantly at Miss Maynard, for her kind words had touched his heart.
"Idon't, lam sore," she answered, "and now tell me what your name is."
" They all oall me BiU Hanson."
"I do not like the name' BiUj' ao I will oall yoo WUUe; I think it a great deal prettier.— Have you a father or mother ?"
" No, ma'am, I Uve with the Joneses down here, and I hate 'em all, for they thrash me 'most eyeiy day," and his eyes flashed flre as he spoke.
Mlsa Maynard took no notloe of his lost re¬ mark, but said, " I snppose you are going to be one of my scholars, ar'n't yon?"
"I said last term," answered he, "that I wonld not go fo school any more, the teaoher was so cross to me; but you speak so kind to me, that I would lUce to oome to you if you wiU let me; no one ever spoke so pieasaut to me before." And thc new teacher thought she saw a tear in his eye.
"I do want you to come,'' said she, " and now good-night. I sball expect to aee yoa bright and early Monday momlng." And tuming ahe went into tbe honse, thinking that WiUie Hanson was not snoh a very bad boy after all-
Monday momlng came, aud the teacher, thinking that sbe wonld Uke to see the plaoe where she waa to spend the summer, atarted early for tbe Ecbool-bouse; but before ehe had reached It, sbe heard a quick step behind her, and lookiug round sbe saw Willie Hanson, and she hardly knew him. To be sure he wore tbe same ragged clothes, but his faoe, which when she before saw him was covered with dirt, was now washed clean, and his oheeks looked fresh and rosy as au apple; his hair was combed smootbly baok, and revealed a brow which no one would have been ashamed to own. And his eyes sparkled, and a happy smile played around his mouth, as Miss May¬ nard said "Good-morning;" and tbe approv¬ ing look wbioh shone from her eyes told him that she had noticed his improved appearance.
Theyreached^theEcboolbouse,and aoon after school begau, and before noon Miss Maynard had become qnite well acquainted with her little fiock. But the other scholars all won¬ dered to see WilUe ; for inatead of belug, as usual, the worst boy in school, be had been this momuig one of the best. And thns it went on from day to day, the teaohing speak¬ ing and smiling encoaragement, and the scholar proving by hla conduot how much infiuence ber kindly words had upon his heart. One Friday night he was walking home, when Mias Maynard overtook him and asked,
"WiUie, would younot like to go tothe Sabbath-school uext Sunday ?"
"I skauld like to go," he said, " bat"—and he looked down at his bare feet aud ragged jacket. Misa Maynard noticed it, land said, " If you will go I will take your jacket home and mend It for you, and tben we will see what can be done for a pair of sboes."
WilUe looked the tbanks he could not speak and handed his coat to his teacher, and turn¬ ing went toward home.
" My conscience. Miss Maynard, what have yon got there ?" exolaimed gcod Mra, Grant, as the teaoher entered the room with the jacket in hand.
"WUlie Hanson's jacket," said sbe, "and I have come to see if yon have some patchea that
you will let me have to mend it." " Wby, you never can mend tbat thing in
this world," said the Deacon's wife, and the
Deacon himself coming in at tbat momenti
aaid "ho thought it more fit for the rag-bag
than anything else." " WeU," said Mrs. Grant, " I wouldn't try
to mend tbat, bat now I think of it, there is
an old pair of pants and an old coat that the
Deacon has oaat off, and if you wiU help me
we will see if we oannot get him up a new suit
to wesr to chtirch, yon say you think he will
go." Miss Maynard joyously gave herconsent, and
was turning to go oot, when tbe Deacon said,
" Yon say that boy is dohig better. If I thought
it woald last, I would take him, for I need a
boy, and the Joneses wonld be glad to have him
come."
he oommuibed djresiing, and was wbhderinglf hfs teaoher'had got his'jacket mended, he heard heir sweet voloe bntslda aay,
"WiUie, yoawUl find yonr .clothes juat here by the door-r:make haste and dresa, for I want to see how ybu look."
He opened the door, and his bright blue eyes glistened with aatonlshment and pleasure as he beheld the nitie jacket and trowsers, and the pun whiiie shirt, with Ita plaited linen bosom, which fifrs. Grant and histeacber, by working very busUy, had aacoeeded In finish¬ ing ; and by the side of them was a new pair of stookinKB and shoes. The tears flowed thiok and foist whUe he waa dreaaing, and his heart was filled with gratitude to his kind friends. When he made hla appearance there were general rejoicings over him, for he was traly a handsome boy, and his new clothes improved his looks mnoh; and there was a prond, happy lookin Miss. Maynard's eye when the "worst boy in town" took his seat in the Sabbath sobool. Weeks flew by, and the school closed, and. the Deacon, his wife, and WiUie are standing at the gato to bid Miaa Maynard "good-by." Willie's Ups quiver, and tears stand in hla bine eyea, as hla loved teaoher takea hia hand to aay farewell, and with a trembling voioe he teUs her that she has been the means of saving him from ra,iD, andthat he shaU never forget the one who has been his best friend. One more shake of the hand, one more kindly smUe and look and Miaa Maynard waa gone.
Let oa pass over the space of twelve years, and on a quiet Sabbath moming let us enter
the chtuoh in the village of L , in one of
our Westem states. The aecond hymn la sung, and the paator arises and takes his text from Ps XXX. 12, " I wiU extol thee, 0 Lord, for thoo bast lifted me op, and bast, not made my foes to rejoice over me." Whatis there so straiUgely famUiar about hia looks? We look again, and—oan it be possible ?—yes, it is oar former friend WilUe—uow Kev. Wil¬ liam Hanson. Then glancing ^onnd, we aee another famiUar faoe, and there sits Miss Blay- nard; there is the same sweet expresBion, the same gentle blae eye, tbat Bhe possessed when WiUie flrst knew ber.
Yes, "BUl Hanson," he that was "the worst boy in eohool," ia now the beloved paator of his friend and teacher, Miss Maynard.
THB HOHEY-BBE'B SONG. What the Bee Sings to the Children.
I am a honey-bee,
Btizzing away Over tho blossoms
The long summer day. Now in tho lUy's onp
Drinking my fiU, Now where the roses bloom
Under the hiih Gayly we fly. My fellows and I, Seeking the honey our hivea to aupply.
Up in the morning—
No laggards are we— Skiinming the clover-tops
J^ipo for the bee, .«
Waking thb flowera
At dawning of day. Ere the bright sun
Kiss the dew-drops away. Merrily singing, Busily winging Baok to the hive with the store we are bringing.
No idle moments
Have wo through tho day, No time to squander
In sleep or in play. Summer is flying,
And we must be sure Food for the winter
At onco to secure. Bees in a hive Are up and olive— Lazy fulks never can prosper or thrive.
Awake, little mortals.
No harvest for those Who waste their bost hours
In slothful repose, Coine out—to the moming
All bright things belong— And listen awhilo
To the honey-bee':i song. Merrily singing. Busily winging, Industry evor its own reward bringing.

[For the Examiner and Herald.] OFT DO   WE FIND.
Oft do we find the world untrue,
Cold, heartless, false, and vain; Its smiles alluring to deceive.
And pleasing but to pain. Its friendship often is assumed.
The better to betray; Ita language oft tho Syren's song,
That flattera hut to slay.
The heat affeetiona oft aro wronged.
And truth ia doubted all; The heart-rpoor fluttering thing—nlono
Knows ils own bitter gall: Tho' wronged and spumed, it still muat heat,
It cannot oease to livo; Tho' it baa orred,—and wbo haa not ?—
*Tia bleaaed to forgive.
Gould we hut feel another's wrong,
And rightly judge of men, We would he Ubb Qukiod, serere,
Lesa hasty to condemn. Appearances should not convict,
Moro hidden Is the heart; Its efforts, trials, pangs and paina.
If known, might gain our part.
The cap of life may sparkle bright.
Yet poison lurk within; Tho flower we pl.uck in gay delight
Hay hide tho serpent's sting; The face may wear a pleasing smile,
Tho' tht) heart ho bleeding; The rose l|loom fair, tho' at the root.
