Hush 1 not a whisper must atir his aleep!
Weary anii worn, let him take hjs rest. Why do you cover your laco and weep ?
Dead.' 'twa." a foolish, iicartlcss jest.
Is tiiore no life in the crisping hair ?
Tho laahes that shadow tho eye's dark gleam ? Tbe lips, whoso curves of crimson wear
The tender touch of a happy dream ?
I brought bacli tho light to his dimming eycB j I watched hiin through days and nights of pain ;
I fougbt with death for my hard-won prize; Nor will you tcU mo my toil was vain ?
Back! there shall touch himnohand but minel — Killed? but my hurt is nothing, I i^ny:
He Bleeps where his soldiers hrought him in, Worn with the march, and the eager fray.
Alas, I know itl Your words wcre true. Vainly I questioned tho tears you abed.
Yet whilo my loss is ao strango and new, Leavc^me alone with my precloua Dead—
Oh, my darling! my love, my pride!
Mine, for I won you away from Doath; Swelling with mine your life's spent tide,
Feeding with mine your failing breath.
Oh, my soldier! my life, my own!
Tho love whose kisses I never knew. The smiles that never upon me shone,
God had given to me in you.
In all the world I had nothing more.
Only tha graves of the early Dead! The shadow my sonl forever wore,
Holded me out from the morning's red.
I found you locked in Death's icy grasp. Lured hack to your heart ita ebbing flow:
Vainly thiuking my clinging clasp
Could bind you to life—I loved yon so!
I loved yon with all the centred power. The truth that ia bom of secret tears !
I cast in the scale of a ainglo hour The passion of long nnd lonely years!
Yonr ftuth, for thoso poor deserts of mioo Oirclod my brow with a royal crown!
Fate held to my lips her costly wine. Then dashed the nectar, untaated, down.
Love fio tender, so tme and deep Snatched from my life as soon as given!
Tom from my eyea that can only weep! Will yon forget me. Dear, in Heaven ?
Farewell! I shall envy your reat, my own!
SofUy asleep in your daised grave— The Dead are left me now, alone,
And Doath ia the only joy I crave.

" Ah! true. God holp them! But no permanent good was ever attained, you know, without soine present losa and mo¬ mentary suffering. Let tbe afflicted gather courage and strength from this thought, and guess at the infinity of their eternal blessings by the multiplicity of their tem¬ poral ills."
" It is easy to sny suoh words—very easy for US who sit here untouched by loss and unscathed by (he marderous fire whose burning breath swept hundreds of miles from Chattanooga, and whose blasting in¬ fluenoe is felt in many a Northern home. Truly, if we could keep our eyes fixed always on eternal issues, sorrow could not touch UB more than it does tbe immortak. But we have hearts of fiesh, that fail with fear and smart with anguish aa we walk the fiery furnace, and the sublimest rea¬ sonings cannot make us quite forget our pains."
" If you make suoh comments on a vio¬ tory gained at a comparatively small cost, what shall be said for tho defeats whioh have unreasonably occurred to our armies
of the terrible blow I was dealing, yet knowing not how to console them, sayiiig simply to call to theur remembronoe the goodness of God and the righteousness of the cause in which their dear one perish¬ ed."      :
" But our enemies bave neither the justice of their cause to urge in consolation of their afflicted," observed dear mother, laying down her netting and removing her spectacles to wipe away the mist of tears that had gathered on their polished surface.
" Ah, no!" responded Mabel—" wretch¬ ed, misguided ones—God pity them !"
" God curse them—the traitors !" cried Frank, hotly, his face darkening with passion. "God curse them—they mur¬ dered Harry Hartly—my Harry and yours."
" Oh, Frank !" murmured iiily and Hel¬ en faintly.
Mabel's cheeks were white as the mua¬ lin in wbich her bright, shining needle had suddenly paused at mention of that name. I do not think it had been spoken in her presence for two years before that nigbt.   Sbe was one who could never bear

On that deep retiring shore Prequent pearls of beanty lie.

VICTORY
" Another great Union victory!" said Frank, exultingly, as he came into the sitting-room one evening, after his return from the villagb post-offloe, and took a vacant chair among the group gathered about the centre-table.
"GloriousI" cried a chorus of voices, " A splendid achievement. Let me read you the particulars," Frank continued, with animation, drawing a copy of the Pager from his pocket, and leading ofl' with a brilliantly headed article, wherein tbe advantages gained in one of those "most gallant and daring exploits of the waTj" of which we have had had so many, were duly set forth.
Jt was a fine, spirited sketch of the b.it- lle of Chattanooga, and we listened with breathless attention, following the rapid movements of our gallant troops as they advanced to st'^rm the enemy's strong en¬ trenchments, hearing in imagination the fierce rattle of musketry far up the slopes of Mount Lookout in General Hooker's famous " battle above the clouds," our work falling from our hands, our hearts standing still as we watched the biave men charging madly up the dangerous heights of Mission Hidge, tlieir cheers mingling with the roar of rebel guns, the shrieking of rebel sliells, and the sharp, death-click from the rebel pits—a wild, stirring, turbulent scene: but the key note of tbewhole w.is " victory ! victory !" and every faoe shone with triumph, every voioecried jubilantly, " Well done!" when the recital was ended.
All but one. Cousin Mabel, her fingers busily employed in the fashioning of somo hospital garment, had listened witl) paling face to the thrilling account, her head drooping lowor and lower, until at last it rested on her hands, which, still holding their unfinished work, bad (alien nerve, lesely upon the table beside her.
Frank, looking up from his paper with blazing eyea, eagurly searching the faces of his listeners lor token of sympathy and I appreciation, quickly notioed her attitude and silence, and reaching forth his hand laid it lightly upon her bowed head, say¬ ing gayly—
" What! not a 'single word of praise or thanksgiving for this glorious success of our troops, dear Mabel!"
She lifted her sweet, earnest face, wet with tears, looking like a pure while lily> claahed with summer rain.
" As I love the Union cause and hope for its ultimate triumph, I do rejoice in this signal success of our arms," she said, fervently.
" Bat your attitude just now was one of deep dej'eotion, I thought, and there are tears upon your cheek, Mabel."
"They come of mingled pity and thank¬ fulness, I think," she answered, wiping them sway, and reeumiug her work.
" Of pity t" Frank asked vaguely, as if ha scarcely understood her meaning.
" What aorrow, anguish, and suffering thrills in that one word—victory. How many wreteHed, adhing hearts; that have ccinfribated -tliar-eiarthly • all -to this tri¬ umph, cry out to-nigh'ttigEai!iBt the hatibii's'
this contest ?"
" The true soul recognizes no defeat to our cause founded injustice andright. Im¬ mediate results may not always be such as are antioiphted and desired, but ultimate victory must reward the courageous cham¬ pions of truth."
" Still," returned Frank, "there is some, thing wonder(ully depressing to the spirits when—to u.=;e your worda—' immediate re¬ sults ' prove not ' such us are anticipated and desired.' The good soldier, who in the hour of peril strains every nerve in his faithful performance of duty, feels somehow wronged and defrauded of his rights if tlie day is not won I confess to a thrill of pain, and regret even now, when I thinic that my good right arm was lost in that unhappy action before Fredericksburg—that its last service did not perceptibly benefit the cause I so dearly loved. I believe we all felt the same, we maimed and wretched fellowa who were gathered out of that awful wreck of human life. We lay in heavy swaths, where the gun's of the rebels had cut us down in the earlier part of the aotion, hearing all around us the mad confusion of battle, but unable to tell who were the winners in the combat, as friend and foe rushed over us, one and another prostratesufferer lifted his dying hii&d, and called faintly—' Comrades, how goes the day?' and sunk away in(o eternity, nover knowing which way the tide of battle turned. Others, and I among them, lost for a time the sense of bodily anguish and mental anxiety in blessed unconscious¬ ness, and it was not till days after in the crowded hospitals that we learned the disastrous results of that ill-sustained movement upon the enemy. Many a brave fellow turned hia face to the wiill_ and groaned heavily when he heard the truth. Some even wept. It crushed all the manliood out of us, that dishearten ing account of our unavailing losses, and we had no patience with our pains, no strength or fortitude to hear them, feeling as we did, that our wounds were brands of cowardice and disgrace rather than marks of honor and distinction."
" Suffering had made you morbid," Ma¬ bel aaid, laying her hand reverently upon his empty sleeve, the sight of which al¬ ways aent a pang to our hearts. " It doesn't matter whether you gave your arm at Fredericksburg or at this brave Chatta. nooga fight, we know that its last blow was dealt for the right."
" But I could bave borne the loss witb better grace at Antietam or South Moun¬ tain," he replied, his eye flashing at the remembrance. " It ia glorious to ride upon the storm of battle, to throw yourself fearlessly into the heart of danger—to plunge recklessly into the thickest of the fray, shouting defiance in the very teeth of death—to meet the shock of the ad¬ versary with a thrill of pleasure and exul¬ tation—to feel in yourself the might of a conquering host—to see the opposing columna steadily giving way before your resolute and determined strokes—to bear along the Union lines the shout of 'vic¬ tory '.' sounding high above the unearthly din, as the beaten and discomfited rebeia swarm out of their fastnesses and seek aafety in flight, the breath of tbe pur¬ suer bot upon their cheeks, conqueror and conquered rushing madly on over the mangled bodies of the slain—for no one ever pausea to think of the dead and dying in the frenzied excitement of the battle-hour. Do you remember," he added, after a pause, in which none of his soft¬ hearted listeners responded to his battle raptures—" do you remember the picture Massey draws of the Russian attack at Inkerman ?— "All hell seemed bursting on us as the yelling
legions oame— The cannon's tongue of quick, red tire, lick'd all
the hills a-flome! Mad, whistling shell, wild, sneering shot, with
devilish glee went past. Like liendish feet and laugbter hurrying down the
battle-blast. ¦Vnd through the air and round the hilla tfaereran
a wreck sublime As though the Etcraal's Ark were crashing on
the shores of Time. On bayonets and swords the smile of conscious
victory shono. As down to death we dash'd the Rebels pluckinjr
at our Throne. On, on they came with face of tiamc and storm
of ahot and shell. Up, up like Hcaven-acalen-i, and we burled them back to hell."
" If I am not mistaken," Mabel said "your poet gives another and a sadder picture in the closing lines of ' Inkerman.' Kead tbem, Helen." " We gathered round the tent-fire in the evening
cold and gray, And thought of those who rank'd with us in bat
tle'fl rich array. Our comrades of tho mora who came no more
from that foil fray! The salt-tears wrung out iu the gloom of green
della far away. The eyea of lurking death that in life'a crimson
bubbles play. The stem whito faces of the doad that on the dark
ground lay Like statues of old heroes cut in precious human
clay. Some with a smile aa life had stopped to musio
proudly gay, Tbe household gods of many a heart all dark and
dumb to day! And hard, hot eyes grew ripo for tears, and hearts sank down to pray." "Ah," Frank aaid with a sigh, "that iS after the fire of enthusiasm burns out, and dispossessed of the spirit of vengeance we stand bleak and desolate enough against the hard, cruel realities of war, feeling to the core the vanity of earthly greatnesa, the littleness of human glory. Many a sad after-battle scene your fancy has painted, no doubt, but none, I think, whose aombre coloring could quite equal the actual. To the fnll I have real¬ ized the suffering that comes of this bloody strife, aa, laying back tbe deiad body of some beloved comrade whose lost moments it had been my office to soothe, 1 have turned to the sorrowful task of breaking the intelligence of his death and ^of transmitting his farewell messages to the waiting friends at home,. «on«iiouB
but true hearted Frank, though loving his cousin dearly, had forgotten her extreme sensitiveness in bis momentary excite¬ ment. Away back in the first autumn of the war Mabel tasted tbe bitterness of a cup which has since been pressed to more lips than you or I can number. We had rumors but no detailed accountof the bat¬ tle of Ball's Bluff, when a dispatch from Frank announoed Harry as one of the victims of that horrible massacre (one can hardly call it by a milder name) Mabel was laughing and jesting gayly when the message was placed in her hands. She opened it with a smile upon her lips, no suspicion of the truth seeming to enter her mind. 1 shall never forget the awful look that settled on her faco as she read and re-read the fatal words. Startled by her rigid, deathly appearance, we sprang forwards, crying—"Mabel, what is it, dear ?    W hat alia you, Mabel Clare ?"
She threw her hand up to her forehead, and struggled to her feet.
" Wake me," she said, in a strange, aaored voice. " For the love of God, wake me from thia horrible dream," and fell aenseless in our arms.
Mother picked up the paper which flut¬ tered from her clasp, and so we learned the truth.
Dear Mabel! I do not love to give my pen to the memory of such days as fol¬ lowed. But our darling girl was of too strong and buoyant a nature to sink with¬ out resistance under this heavy affliction, and after a little she, with persevering ef¬ fort, put away all outward signs of mourn¬ ing, and re.sumed her accustomed duties, cheerful and serene, though witb none of her old lightness and gayety of manner. " Do not be troubled for me, dear friends," sheliad said, answering our anx¬ ious looks with a sad smile; " I am only oneof a thouaand. .Surely, f oan endure suffering as well as others. But oh !" she added, witb whitening lips, " please never speak his name to me—I cannot bear it!" And ever after we had faithtuUy guar¬ ded against all reference to Harry, or to the wretched time succeeding the news of his death.
Frank, seeing the effeot of his hasty words, left his chair and came round to where Mabel sat, with something of that old, never-to-be-forgotten look upon her face.
"Oh, darling," he said, taking her trembling hands, "lei me name his name. He was the brother of my soul—only a litlle less dearer to me than to you. Of¬ ten my heart aches to speak toyou of him when I see you sitting so white and still, and know whether your thoughts are straying. I believe you would suffer less if you would talk with me freely of him whom we both loved."
" Harry," she said, atruggling for com¬ posure, " Harry never would have wished you to cry God's curse upon his enemies." " I knew it," Frank replied. " Harry was a Christian, and would have said with his Master, ' Father, iorgive them, for they knew not what they do.' But I nev¬ er can recall the aggravating oircumstan ces of his death—stricken dowu as he waa without an opportunity for self-de¬ fence—and not feel a thirst for vengeance upon his assasins firing my soul."
"Eemember to whom vengeance be¬ longs. It seems to me that we should bring no feeling of personal hate and ran¬ cor into this strife."
"How can we do otherwise?" Frank asked. "All that is good and noble in man criea out against the enormous wicked¬ ness of these infernal plotters—these in¬ famous destroyers of our country's peace. If there wasa grain of truth or a single particle of reason in their plea, one might look with some toleration upon their deeds hut as it is—"
" As it is," took up Mabel, "we must regard them with the utmost pity in view of the awful retribution that awaits thera, and whereof we,in some measure,are made God's instruments. We are contending for the principles of justioe, self govern¬ ment, equal rights; let us give a true in¬ terpretation of those principles to our op¬ ponents by an honorable and equitable course of aotion, not casting obloquy upon our cause by an unlawful exorcise of power a spiteful retaliation upon tbeir atrocities, or an unseemly exultation in their suffer¬ ing. We can bejust, yet pitiful; firm yet forgiving; conquerers, yet not boastful." "I'm afraid the oommon soldiery will never come up toyour standard," Frank said. "Suppose now the murderer of our dear boy, Hal, where in our power ?— What would you do ? I would send a bul¬ let in search of his heart!"
"Andi would pray lhat your bullet might so far fail in its errand as to give the offender tirae to repent of his errors and make hia peaoe with God, and I would faithfully nurae his life to that end. Hia penitence would slake my thirst for ven¬ geance—his blood never oould," waa Mabel's answer.
" You always lose your temper in my company," said an individual of doubtful reputation to a gentleman. "True, eir, and I shouldn't wonder if I lost every¬ thing I bave aboul me."
Falsehood is often rocked by truth, bul ahe soon outgrows her cradle and discards her nurse.
Universal love is like a mitten, whioh fits all hands alike, butnone closely ; true affection  is tike a glove which fits one
Thirty years ago, my father, a half-pay captain, emigrated to Lower Canada. He bought a farm in the vicinity of Stanstead, where he settled wilh a family of three boys and as tiiany girla. There were too many of ua for hia means in England, where boys often cost more than they are worth, and possibly this is aometimes true of girla. Brother Ben was nineteen when he went into the bush ; a brave boy, and a good leader for his younger brothera, and a good protector for his sisters, who were younger still.
We had-a log houae, as most settlers had then, to begin with. It waa quite an aris¬ tocratic edifice for that region, having three large rooms, while most log houaes had but two rooma, and many but one. It was ceiled with hemlock bark, amooth side toward the rooms, for we were to spend one winter in it. We moved to our " open¬ ing " the first of May, and had the sum¬ mer before us. We were full of spirit and hope. A new country and a new life, with all before you to conquer, and the con¬ sciousness of strength to make (he con¬ quest, is a constant inspiration.
Ben's bear was his first winning in the game whioh he had set himaelf to play with the wild nalure of the woods. I was then ten years old, and that bear is the one thing that alanda out moat clearly in the dim distance ol thirty years ago. Ben had ahot the mother bear, and the same ball that killed her killed oneof her cubs. the other be brought home in his bosom. "Poor little fellow," he said, "he is too young to mourn for his mother, aud I in¬ tend to be a moiher to him." And he kept his word.
The amall beaat slept with Ben, alwaya laying hia noae over Ben's shoulder. He grew apace; I used to think we oould aee him grow. He was very fond of milk and hutter, and he ate bread and milk, and mush and milk, with avidity. During the first winler, his waa a numbed aort of half life. In the early spring he was a happy bear, going everywhere with his maater, and only miserable if he lost sight of him. He was entirely obedient to my brother, and always woke him in the morning. As my father was about lo build a frame house^ he sent Ben to huy material of a man who had a saw mill in the next town. This was Bruin's first affliction, for he could not accompany his master. Ben slole away from him, and when the bear knew thai he was gone, he began to search for him. He wenl lo my brother's bed, and, begin¬ ning at the bead, inserted his nose under the sheets and blankets, and came out al the fool; then he turned, and reversed the process. This strange search he would keep up by the hour, if he were not shut out of the room. He took possession of his master's clolhes and other belongings, and used them so roughly, still seeking for their owner—inserting himself into legs of trousers and sleeves of coats—that my moiher locked everything in a ward-
rotw.    Nothing  of Bon's  woe left out ox-
cept a large folio Bible, which rested on the lop of tho wardrobe, six or seven feet from the fioor. Up this the bear con¬ trived to climb, and taking the Bible in a tender embrace, he curled himself up, and dropped lo the floor wilh it. My mother attempted to lake it from him, hut for the first time he showed fight. Many blows from the broomstick were ad. ministered, but the boar held fast to the book, and my moiher came off seoond best from the contest. This was falal to her authority, as we discovered afterward When Ben came back, the bear's joy knew no bounds. He lost his love for the saored volume, and had no oare what be¬ came of it. He showed his disrespect for my molber by taking the butter from the tea-table and eating it before her eyes.— Ben gave him a drubbing for the robbery, and he submitted to Ben's authority, but butter tnd honey, and sweets of all kinds, were appropriated, if Ben were not at hand to enforce good behavior. My moth¬ er was .very unhappy, between her love for Ben and her fear of Bruin. She grew miserably airaid of the bear, and what was worse, the bear knew it. She com, plained to Ben: bul he only said, " Moth¬ er, you have only lo he resolute wilh him. Ellen can drive bim away from the table, because she is nol afraid of bim."
"But I am afraid of him," said my inolher, "and I think he will do me harm yet."
" Give him a tasle of a hot poker, moth¬ er, and I'll answer for him afterwards."
" I would not try it for the world," said my mother.
The bear had his own way very com¬ plelely, till a circumstance occurred which resulted more favorably for the peace of the family than my mother's mild remon¬ strances. We had a neighbor, a Mr. Ben nett, who had a very lovely daughter Of seventeen. Ben fell in love with her as in duty bound, she being the prettiest girl in tbe New World. He had been unable lo get any clue to her sentiments toward him. She had spent a considerable por¬ lion of the past year with a married sister in Stimstead, and Ben and the brother-in- law being friends, it was there my brother had seen her. Her coolness toward him was a great torment to an impulsive lover. I believe Ben would have served seveu years merely to know how she regarded him. At last he lapsed into a state so un¬ happy and anxious that even his bear could not comfort him. About this time Alice Bennett came home to remain, and in neighborly kindness, she and her younger sisler, came to visit us. She had never seen Ben's bear, and did not even know of its existence. Ben shut Bruin into his bedroom in compliment lo our guests, and the aflernoon passed pleas¬ antly to all but the prisoner.
When the lime came for Alice and her aister to go home, my brother and I pre. pared to benr them company through the woods to their opening. Ben incautiously opened his bedroom for his bnt, never thinking of Bruin, and came running to catch ua. The liberated bear ran after hia master, and jumped for joy upon him hugging him after the manner of bears.— Alice turned and aaw Ben in the (to her) terrible embraoe. She shrieked as a girl with a good voice only can shriek, but in
she recovered her wits, she said, " 0, I'll never come here again."
"Indeed you will," said Ben. "I'll banish Bruin, or impiYson him, or do any¬ thing you wish."   -        Ji
It was surprising how cle^-sighted Ben became regarding fault3j>p the bear's part that he bad heretofore made Jight of. My mother had no need to complain of atolen butter, or a highway robbery of honey on its way from the pantry to the tea table. Ben suddenly discovei ed that bis pet was a nuisance. " I don't aee how you have bome with him ao long, mother," he aaid.
anytbing he bad ever dreamed, broke upon his ear, saying, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant I"
And when at length he lifted his eyes, he beheld in the dawning light a stately palace, adorned with all the marks of kingly grandeur. Airy arches of purest alabaster soared upward toward the blue heavens. Stately pillars of porphyry sus¬ tained the dome. Odor of sweetest and rarest flowers fioated upon the morning air. It seemed that the coarae and rude building of clay, upon which his hands had wrought through  all  these  weary
in a most considerate manner, when he ' years, had been only scaffolding, within had taken a plum pudding frotn a plate whioh invisible fingers had builded up the in my mother's handa, and made hia way perfect atructure that often hehad dream- to the woods with it. ed of, but had never hoped to see. " I am glad you saw him take it," said       And through all the bewilderment of
my mother.
" He must have a prison," said Ben.
And so it came lo pass lhat the poor bear was chained, in the cenlre of the space that had been cleared and leveled for our new house, with the light survey¬ or's chain used to measure land. The bear immediately described a circle, limiud by the length of his chain, whiob he walked over, turning a summersault always at one point, and only stopping to eat, orpw at¬ tention to Ben, if he came in his vicinity. Why be inaugurated this particular and peculiar exercise I am unable to say, but I have often noticed a tame bear keep up the ou-cle and the summersaifr hoar after hour, and cUy after day. He did not tug at his chain, nor quarrel with it, as we poor mortals do with chains, but apparent¬ ly accepted it as a provision of Ben's su¬ perior wiadom. This view of the caae, if he took it, was sure tobe abandoned at bedtime, when he would inevitably break his chain to get in to his master's bed-room. His idomitable desire to lie on the foot of Ben's bed, or to hug an old vest under it, was sure lo make him break away from any breakable restraint. Therefore a pris¬ on was made for him. II waa made of small logs, " cobbed up;" lhat is, the ends notched with au ax, and the end of a log fitted into each notch. The roof waa of boards destined for the new house, held in plaoe by heavy stones. The firat night the poor beast ocopied his new den he raised the boards in his struggle lo get out, impelled by the desire to seek his mas¬ ter. Ha got his head out, and then hung by his neck, and so was choked to death. I shed some tears for him, and my moiher rejoiced. I think Ben was not very sorry. Under other circumstances he would have mourned for the loss of his sublimely ugly pet; but he had a new and life-long pet in proapect—perhaps many other pets after lhat—and he had no need of, and no plaoe for, a bear.

A great king once made known his in¬ tention to visit a ceriain distant corner of hid dominions, and lo this end it w.ts or¬ dered that a dwelling should be prepared suitable for the reception of his majesty. Now great sorrow seized the steward of the king in that province; for the land waa poor, and neither marble nor porphry could be found in all ils borders ; so that while he earnestly desired to make a right royal provision for the honor of the sover- ign whom he had never seen, but whose service was hia greatest joy, no meana aeemed ready to hia hand;.
Keverlheless, he called t'he builders, carpenters, and masons, and laid before them the king's command, requiring that every one should bring togeiher all th(- materials which he oould find suitable for the work. For I should have said lhat the province had in old time been devas¬ tated by revolt, and the royal dwellings, which had once been great and splendid, now lay in ruins.
So the builders came together, bnt every man brought the same story of tha poor- neas of the land; and nothing was found wherewith a palace oould he made, save the common red clay of the province.— Then the steward said to all his men, " Behold our aoverign ia a greal and mighty lord, and in all the world could no dwel¬ ling be found fit for his resting plaoe; and in our hands is only this worthies clay ; yet of suoh as wehave will we build."
So the foundation were laid of stones hrought from the ruins of tJoT former palaces, and the walls were erected from bricks baked of the clay. Early and late the master builder was present on the spot. Every brick was fashioned and laid in its place, every arch was sprung and perfected under his eye, and by the guid- anCBof his hand. Still the workmen often proved unfaithful; arches crumbled or beams gave way, and the work advanced but slowly. Often, too, straggling bands of rebels, who still kept up guerrilla war¬ fare in the province, would attack the building; and the labor of weeks and months perished in a single night.
Years went on, and the king's coming was delayed, while still the palace of clay stood incomplete. In some years it seem ed as if no progress had been made; for the repairing of mistakes and mishaps de¬ manded more time than could be given to the building, and the builder's heart grew heavy with dismay. Still he slack¬ ened not his efforts, but toiled on, while faithfulness look the place of hope, and a willing heart gave cheer to the hands.
Now tbe arranging of the gsAunda called for his attention, and here, as before, the poorness of his means filled his aoul with sadness. For in the rude climate of the province no rare exotics oould be won lo grow; and only the hardy mountain daisy and blue-eyed gentian and aster—stars of faith and courage—wonld adoru the gar¬ den. But avenues of evergreens led away toward the sun rising, the way the king was to approach, and grassy lawns sloped gently toward the west; while braye and tender vines grew up over the yet unsight¬ ly mass of aun-burnt clay, and apoke the love and loyalty of the aervant, while they sought to hide his poverty.
At length signs were given of the com. ing of the king; and now again the old man's heart sank within him, for his yeara of toil had brought forth all their fruit, yet was there no harvest fit for the accept¬ ance of his master. It waa too late now to remodel the arches to adorn the ceil¬ ings, or lo lay out new plans for the grounds; yet, wilh all his toil, the build¬ ing was narrow and low, and many gaps told of purposes unfulfilled, or, of violence from without; while from no «ngle point did it present an aspect fit for a royal habi¬ tation.
As the shades of evening deepened over the work, the steward retired to commune with his own sad thoughts. He saw not the couriers who had hurried before to prepare tho way, nor heard the running to and fro of messengers, and the joyful bustle of preparation that announced the coming of the king. But in the depth and darkness of the night came a messen¬ ger, who said," The king calleth for thee!" Trembling and amazed, the servant was led into the presence of his lord. Over¬ whelmed with fear, shame, and regret; unable to lift his eyes or to speak, though words of confession were trembling on his Ups, he fell down at his sovereign's feet.
