[BaLTiMOUt;, Mu. THE THREE FRIENDS. A tiny cottage—one would oall it a Lovel ifit were notso olean—with a single glazed irindow, si'arkling from its morn¬ ing bath and shaded by a cambric curtain of snowy whiteness. Within, two little rooma; the inner one containing a sack and pillow of fresh leaves covered with a clean quilt, and ventilated by two square holes higb up iu the wall, through which the light fell on a coarse engraving of the Maiionna, adorned with a garland of evergreen, some sprays from which were wound round a taper, ready for lighting on a stand ingeniously made of reeds.-— The outer room, somewhat larger, with an open fireplace, and for furniture a small tuble as white as board could be made, a shelf with a few dishes, two chairs, a box for the holiday clothing, another leaf saok and pillow, and an image of the Madonna fantastically dressed in lace and spangles and enclosed iu a shrine of gilt paper. Without, a narrow terrace stock¬ ed with mignionette, periwinkles, eglan¬ tines and white roses; a minature garden in which a few vegetables had been pain¬ fully coaxed into feeble life, and a rude shed whioh at night harbored a couple of goats. Abroad, a wide stretch of broom heath and furze, a few peat, covered huts, a sprinkling of half starved black sheep, stunted brushwood, by oourtesy called trees, and beggars ragged and dirty, who shocked the sensibility uiorc than they stirred the sympathy of the occasional traveler. ' In the cottage dwelt a widow and her son, Marie and Paul Uevere. Paul was u lad of sixteen with a boy's heart and a man's energy. His father was a conscript, who fell without having seen his child, and his mother, a stranger in the depart¬ ment of Finisterrc, had struggled with extreme poverty uutil he conld uid in their support. Where the demand for labor waa so slight this was diflieult, but they made the iflost of tho little they ob¬ tained. Neither waated so much a.s a onuub of bread, and their liubils of . thorough cleanliness gave an air of com¬ fort to their otherwise harsh surroundings. Paul alternated work with study, being taught by the priest who lived three miles distant; and he thought himself rich wlicn he could afiord a candle and so prolong his task into the night. Mother and son were absorbed in each other. Not that they were selfish, indeed, but even their cbarities were in common, and one spirit animated both. This life, in whieh the affeotions found full play, was very sweet. For a time, also, it was healthful. Paul had received the best part of his educa¬ tion when he had learned, past the possi¬ bility of qaestion or forgetfuluess, that a true home requires neither wealth nor Wheii all was ready, Mari*'and Paul j made a-gatland of white roees md tbe glossy greeii of the periwinkle, and iralfc- ed togetlier in the gray dawn to the near¬ eat chnrch on the road to Paris, They hnng up the garland on the shrine of the Virgin, prayed before the alter, embraoed and parted. . Both wept, but the tears of the youth were brightened by hopOj those ofthe mother were darkened by memory, It was thus that she parted from her hus¬ band, and he—never returned, Paul lived in Paris as Pariaians often live. A roll with a couple of figs or a bunch of grapes made him a dainty meal. He alept near the sky, wore neat gar¬ ments, and never got in debt. He studied medicine, picked up a few accomplish¬ ments almost by intuition, and rivaled his city-born comrades in ease and polish.— In time he opened an office, and, having few paying patients, he labored gratuitous¬ ly among the poor, thus acquiring skill against the moment when Providenoe should open to him a more lucrative path. It so happened, that in one of the streets which he daily traversed, there lived a certain Monsieur Ferrand, a re¬ tired tea merchant of much wealth. His wife was dead, and he had but one cbild —his daughter Victorine—whom he had educated to the higbest possible point, and for whom he waa determined to se¬ cure an aristocratic match. Victorine was pretty, and as it was known that her dowry would be large, she did not want for suitors; but as yet none had sncceeded in pleasing her father. To be sure, there were among them two counts, but his business habits proved stronger than his ambition when he found them equally bankrupt in purse and reputation, and he dismissed them like tho rest. She did not alter his plans and when he thought of marriage in connection with his daugh¬ ter, he always fancied a coronet glittering above her auburn braids. One fearfully hot day, Monsieur was taken suddenly ill in his earriage, and reached home in a state of insensibility. The coachman and footman, terrified be¬ yond measure, anxiously asked each other what was to be done, but did nothing.— Paul was passing at the moment. "I am a physician," he said quietly, and gave the neeesaary orders. They were quickly obeyed,and Monsieur was laid on hisown bed. Paul then, with the permission of Victorine, commenced applying the pro¬ per remedies, while a servant was dis¬ patched* for Dr. Aiidreux, the family physician. • • The doctor arrived soon, but was in great haste and somewhat out of humor. He was just setting out on a journey from which lie had repeatedly been de¬ tained by somo peremptory call, and he had begun to believe that cveu phyai. cians hail .¦iouie personal rights, a point which he had never before very strenu- ouslj' maintained. He looked sharply at the patient, and decided that his case would be long and wearisome. He looked sharply at Paul, who inspired him with respect and confidence. He asked a few questions, whioh the young practitioner answered promptly and modestly. " Time enough," said the doctor to himself, " pa¬ tience enough, science enough. Goea to work as if he were used to it. Needs just snch an opening. Will be thc making ofbim. Yes. I'll trust him." Then lead¬ ing Madamoiselle Ferrand to the door, he irMepcrod, '^ Victorine, X am satiisficd that your father is in good hands or I should¬ n't leave him; but write me every day, and direet to Maiseilles. He won't die, don't be afraid of that—but he will have a prolonged convalescence that will wear you to a skeleton. Keep the young man with him as much as possible. Farewell, iny child," acd kissing her hand with a mixtnre ot gallantry and tenderness, he hurried to his caraiage. For three days and nights Paul scarce¬ ly left the siek ehamber. Victorine's letters were blistered with tears. Dr. Andreux looked grave. At the end of that time the patient awakened as if from a heavy slumber, inquired what was the matter with him, asked the name of the young man who had been feeling his pulse, and desired to know why Dr. An¬ dreux was not in -attendance. Upon leam¬ ing that the Doctor had left, knowing, bim to be ill, he burst into a storm of passion, and ended by declaring that he sliould never again set foot within his doors, and that the kind Dr. Devere should fill his place. He forba'le Victo¬ rine to write another line to the " great brute," and amused himself with thinking of all the disagreeable and sarcastic things he would say to him when they should meet. He was fearfully heated and tired, and needed the services of Paul more than ever. He was soothed by his light and gentle toucli, by his skillful handling, by his instinctive knowledgo of his wants, by the hearty, cheery tones of his carefully modulated voice. Although not much given to aiialy.sis in any department, he was conscious that there was in his man¬ ner something deeper and better than mere form, aud a feeling compounded of dei'erenco, gratitude, and mere liking, sprang up in his bosom which grew more every day. He insisted that Paul should transfer his patients—he had no suspi¬ cion of their quality—to some friend and reside with him, appropriating to his use two hundsomely furnished apartments adjoining his own. Even A'iotorine was almost forgotten in this -new family ac¬ quisition. The period of decided convalesence was as long and tedious as Dr. Andrenx had foreseen. Paul, after the first three days Boeial distinction, but temperance, dilli¬ gence, fmgaUty, order, and irradiating I of his patient's illness, steadily persisted them with a golden light, the h)ve of the often against remonstrances wHoh had fainily and love of God. When Marie beoame ambitions for Patli, Paul became ambitious for his moth¬ er. The feeling, the desire, crept into eaoh heart at the same moment. Maria said, "You must go to Paris, where thereis everything to be done, and vhere great rewards wait upon exertion. You will becomo rich and famous." Paul replied, "I will go to Paris, hun¬ ger aiiii work, that my mother may have a maid Bervant, a flock of goats and a few sheep in her: old age." "It will'lie hard, my son," contiaued the mother, " but you have three^endsj PUigenoe, Frugality and the Love of Qod: "Sbsj •iWl-'iwrve''Joii' well. There are twn* better in kings'palaci the air of commands—in spending a part ofevery day Inthe open air. He now reaped the benefits of the praotice. His walk uot only quieted his nerves, rasped anfl fretted by-elfish exactions and pur- cile caprices, but it enabled him togather up .anecdotes, witty sayings, harmless in¬ formation of many kinds, with whioh to enUven the sick chamber. Of the life of lho schools M. Ferrand knew nothing, and Paul had the adVaiitage pf opening a new page to the irritable invalid. He illustrated his conversatioii by comic sketches, whioh he threw off with ease. He-made judicious 'selections of merry books, tho story of which he half .rejd,: halftold. -He smg aweet-old biUad*^- roijuing natioiaJ airs and liuoyant student aongs; or playikl a flute aooo'mpaniiiieiit to Yiotorine'a harp; upon which instrament she performed well. The nighb weire even more wearisome than the days) and although Paul could not a-void an occa¬ sional contemptaouB thoaght upon witnes¬ sing snoh impatience of pain and eveti of ennui, his genuine goodness of heart led him to make every possible effort- to lighten both. Other sympathies aided iu sustwning Panl. He was deeply in love j hopelessly so—at least so he said to himself—^but the true lover seldom absolutely despairs.. Still Paul had no tangible gronnds for hoping. He knew M. Ferrand's views for his daughter, and was £>r too honor¬ able to take any steps towards -winning her vrithout his consent. He had, be¬ sides, seen the fareweU of Dr. Andr^aui, had oaught the whispered words " write me," had -witnessed Vitjtorine's unaffeetod grief when commanded by her father to close the correspondence, and he more than suspected that she had disobeyed the injunction. The Dootor was muoh older than Madamoiselle, he was plain in person and brusque in manner, but he stood in the very first rank in his profes¬ sion ; he was wealthy and good. Besides, he had doubtless been gentle and patient with her in the long illness to which she had aUuded. It was bnt natoral that he should love Victorine; neither was it, on on the whole, strange that she should re¬ turn the passion. So Paul grew really shy of Mademoseillo; neither made or sought occasions for assisting her, and endeavored so to tutor eye and voico that they should not betray his secret. This reticence secured his hold on M. Fer¬ rand's regard. The latter was assared that he had in view no ulterior purposes, and that whatever his ori^n and plans niight be, he had some substantial sup¬ port, the source of which he had not yet discovered. He speculated mueh upon this point. He questioned Paul, as he thought, very adroitly; but, in faet, so remotely that he obtained no information. At length, tired of perpetually revolving the subject, he asked Paul directly re¬ specting his family and prospects, to which Paul answered smilingly, that his family was obscure; but that he had three friends who would help him on in this world, and that he thought himself sure of success. He glanced throngh the window as4e spoke, and M. Ferrand, following his eye, eaught sight of M. Chcnot, his old rival in trade, his pet aversion, the only man he desired to humble. He saw M. Che- not look up, and thought a glance of in¬ telligence passed between him and the yonng physician. The suspioion beoame eertainty when Paul, a moment after¬ ward, excused himself and went out. " Y'es," soliloquized M. Ferrand, one of his friends is that villain there, without doubt. He intends the young man for fais insignificant, freckled daughter, tbe silly Rose. That is the reason why Paul is so oool to Victorine. The gipsey likes him. I see it every day. There wants but a word to make him over head and ears in love. True, I have always inten¬ ded to make a great match for Victorine, but tben how charming it will be to de¬ feat that rascal Chenot! Besides, if I were to have a grand son-in-law he would I dare say, look down on the old teamer- chant. He wonldn't read me just the things I like bo Kockr, i>&d toll mo Juofc iKo things I like to know, and order just the dishes that agree with me, and contrive ingenius ways for killing time when it hangs too heavy. No, indeed, he would make no home for me. He would only take my money and make a home for himself. People will laugh, to be sure, but letthem laugb. When I have Paul safe, I wiU laugh back at them." By the time that M. Ferrand had ar- ranged his plans Paul returned. The fresh air and rapid walk had exhilirated him, and his frank, intelligent face looked more attractive than ever to the scheming papa. Paul felt instinctively that he had never been reoeived quite so graoiously or been listen 2d to quite so earnestly- That intangible veil, that filmy barrier of which he had been conscions, in spite of so many services rendered and so mnch gratitude returned, was unexpectedly withdrawn. He felt tbe change through his whole being. He fairly luxuriated in the warm atmosphere. He became joyous. Ho drew near to Victorine' and joked lightly with her as he Ead never done before They sat at M. Ferrand's feet and sang absurd nursery ditties and funny songs, of which, however, Paul had by far the largest storf. Never had either of the three passed . a happier evening. At that moment they desired nothing but to live always together. Thc home warmth continued. Mr. Ferrand dined with tbe young people, and declared that their stories were so good he did not mi^s the wine, which was still forbidden him. He drove out with them and loaded both with magni¬ ficent gifts. What was his anutzement, when, a week afterward, Paul entered his apartment early one morning in the utmost disorder, haggard from suffering and want ofsleep, trembling with excite¬ ment, yet wearing an expression of de¬ termined will not to be bent or broken He must, he said, depart at onoe. He could not remain an hour longer. He oould not thank Monsieur enough for his great kindnes. The happiest hours he had ever known had been spent beneath his roof. " Then why do you go ?" asked Mon¬ sieur, bluntly. " Beoause, Monsieur, I dare not stay. I ought not to have staid so long. WiU you bid Mdlle. Ferrand " " No, that I will not. Y'ou mnst make yonr adieux yourself. Then there's your bill, and" " No, Monsieur, I have ne bill. I have been repaid a hundred fold for any¬ thing I msy have done for -yon. I can take nothing away but your gifls and yonr friendship." " Tut, tut, we shaU see 1 we shall see I If I have reaUy been as kind as you say —although I don't see it so clearly my¬ self—I have some claim to yonr confi¬ dence. Now teU me truly why you are BO agitated and why you desire to leave iu such-hot baste.'; " Pa;nl lopked up and met M. Fernma'i eyes fixed keenly opon him. "The truth, Paul, I hrif guess it al¬ ready." " Ai, Monsienr, yott wholly, guess it. I have dared to love Mdlle. Ferrand; althoagh believe me, I have never, at least never intentionaUy, led her to sns- pect my nnfortnnate passion." "Ton speak th6 trnth, Panl. I be¬ lieve you: Do ybn think I was so bUnd as not to have seenall this ?" . "But your plans forMdUe., Monsienr? Perfaaps I faave not explained as fnlly as I should that I am of peasant birth and that my mother livea by her labor." " Ton have not oonoealed this, Panl." " And yon wonld accept me as Mdlle's suitor. 0, how good, how generous yon are! But Mdlle.; is she not in love with Dr. Andreanz 1" " Heavens! Dr. Andreaux !" And M. Ferrand burst into a roar of langhter. He roUed from one side of the bed to the other. Ee shonted onoe and again: " Heavens ! Dr. Andreaux!" He seemed in danger of suffocating. Then he grasped Paul's hand and said: " The Dr. is Vio- torine's godfather!" "AndMdUe?" Is only waiting for you to ask her to marry yon! Jnst then Paul caught the sound of a light step on the stsdrs. He rushed out, not forgetting, however, to olose the door behind him. In half an hour, which ap¬ peared to the waiting papa a month at the least, the youthful pair entered, with glowing faces, and knelt for his blessing. Neitberof the three was disappointed in the other. Paul, now that an opening was fairly made for him, soon rose to em¬ inence in his profession; while he con¬ tinned just as unselfish, as efficient, and aa gentle as when he had scareely a sou in his pooket, and bnt one coat to his back. His mother deolined leaving a spot endeared to her by early memories, and he provided her not only with the maid servant, the goats and sfaeep whioh were the objeots of his early ambition, but also with a pretty cottage, and many pleasant things besides. Victorine made a generous, loving wifej. and M. Ferrand believed his home to be the very best one ever given to an old man and a father-in-law. One object alone disturbed him. It made him jeal¬ ous j ust the leaat in. tfae world, and he de¬ termined to know the best and the worst ofit. " Paul, my son, he asked, "who were the three friends upon whom you de¬ pended so muoh when I first knew you?" Paul laughed joyously. " Haven't you found that out, my father ? They were Diligence, Frugality, and the Love of God." " Good friends, true friends," returned M. Ferrand. " You did weU to trust in them; and I," he continued, smiling af¬ fectionately at Paul, " did well to trust you.": to go.and warm his feet bytfarfire a little while. Annie took out a paper pattem and a bit of thick aloth,whioh was qnick¬ ly ont into a mitten shape and sewed np,' aU in fifteen minutes' time. Ned looked on, domb with admiration, and secretly resolved to learn a lesson. Too late Eor The Boat. . 8T0BIES FOB TEE LITTLE FOLKS. Annie's Savings Box. "There's one of my glove-buttons gone," said siater Kate, as she was pre¬ paring to go out. " How provoking it is I A glove looks so untidy unfastened." " Just wait a minute, sister," said An¬ nie, "I believe I have some glove-but¬ tons in my box," and opening the lid, she took, out a little tin mustard box, and pouri&g iha; conteuis !n ner apron, soon, fonnd the required article. Her handy little needle and silk quickly sewed it onj and she was weU repaid by a kiss from her sister, and a hearty " Thank you, Annie dear; your little cabinet of curi¬ osities is a perfect gold mine. You can alwaye find the right thing tfaere," and she tripped down the steps quite satis¬ fied that all waa right. "How long have yon had that box, cousin Annie?" asked Ned, who waa spending a week at the housa. " Ever since she can remember, I guess," said her moth3r, laughing. " She always was a careful -little thing, from the time she could toddle about the floor.— She used to make-little collections of but¬ tons and tamarind stones, and I do not know what all, when she was four and five years old. It is a good habit, though, and I am sure we are all indebted to her every day of our lives. It would be a curiosity to keep an aocount, some day, of the calls she haa." "I tfaink I will do it," said Ned.— " Where can I find a paper and pencil ?" Annie opeoed her little box again and took out the half of an old envelope she had saved, cutting off the torn side, and a Uttle piece of penoii some one had swept out doors. " Tou can set down three things, to begin with," she said langhing—" a glove button, a piece of paper, and a pencil." Just then little Martha came running in, the string ofher bonuet off, and sbe in " sucfa a faurry." " Run to Annie, said faer mother, who was busy making mince pies. Up went the box-lid, and this time a little bag, containiog aU sorts of odds and ends of old strings and ribbons, was over¬ hauled. The right thing was sure to be there, and taking li threaded needle from a cushion, the string was sewed on in a minute's time, and Mattie was dancing off to her play. "Nnmber four," said Ned, jnst as father oame in and asked Annie if she oould find him " a good tow string. He wanted to mend his harness enough to drive to the harness-makers' and have it repaired." Another little bag -was pro¬ dnced, wfaich contained just' wfaat was wanted, and with a " thank you daugh- ter, you are a treasure, and so is your box," he went his way." " Jnst take yonr work, and don't stir from that comer to day," said Ned," you'U be wanted. You might set up a store.— If they all had as many customers these hard times, they would thrive. Well, Tommy, what oan we do for ybu ?" Tommy did not deign to glance at fais consia.bnt went Btraight to Annie. " I ha've lost my mitten, sister, and oan't make a snow man without it.

"Never was too late," said Simon, aa though tfaat were a ponclnsive argument. " You wUl oertainly be too late to-day, unless tfae clock ia too fast." Simoii looked at his watch, and pro. ceeded with more faaste to get ready. He left the faouse scarcely bidding his mother good-by. He was not gone long. In less thitn hour herp-entered thehonse. " Boat left ine," was his remark; and he went to his room, perhaps to esoape'a reproof for having neglected the caation his mother had given him. It -was a great disappointment to Si¬ mon that he did not get on board the boat- He had looked forward to the vi¬ sit he wss about to make for months. There was a particular reason why he wiahed to reach tfae place by that day's boat- He had no one to blame but him¬ self, A little more eare, and fae wonld not faave been left. Men oflen suffer greater disapppint- mentB than that eonnected by the failnre to make a visit, in consequence of being too late. • A young man was once taken as a olerk in a large manufacturing es¬ tablishment. He was the son of a de¬ oeased friend of the proprietor. The pro¬ prietor gave him his place for his father's sake. He intended to make him in due time a partaer in the concern, and thns to pnt him on the high road to fortune. He was a prompt nran, aud required promptness on the part of those in his employinent. The young man's eonduot provod very satisfactory in many respeots. He was thoroaghly honest and truthful and faith¬ ful ; but he was nofcalways prompt. When told that a thing must be doue by a oer- t:ua hour, it was not always doue by the time. It would never be neglected; but would not be finiahed till after the time. Several times the proprietor :nade ap¬ pointments with him, and eacli time he was a few minntes after the time. Noth¬ ing was said to him by way of complaint but his tardiness prevented his having a place in the firm. Mr. L. wanted a man that he could depend upon for prompt¬ ness OS well as fidelity. In thia sense, many a man has been too lute for thc boat. One of the first habits young | er¬ sons should form should be that of doing things at tbe right time. They should establish a character that wiU be a pledge that whenever anything was undertaken, it would be completed at the right time. If you make an engagement to meet any one at a certain time, be sure and be at the plaoe exactly at the time appointod. Do not aay, a few minutes will not make any difference. If you engage to do a thing by a certain hour, do not say, it will be just as well if it be done half an hour afterwards. There is a certain time during which the mind is capable of rapid improvement, aua wbcu napiis arc t:uaiiy lormed. That time must be promptly used by tbose who desire mental improvement. Many who feel the importanoe of cultivating their minds, and who know tbat labor is ne¬ cessary to their cultivation, are not ready to begin in earnest tUl the best season for improvement has passed. You intend to read a good book. Don't put it off. Do it withont delay. Don't be too late for the boat. There is a eertain time in which the soul may be educated for eternity—in whioh salvation may be secured. It must be done previously to a certain time, or it must remain undone for eternity. Hence the work should be entered upon prompt¬ ly, with the determination to have it done by the appoiited time. But many put it off tUl it is too late. They intend to do it; they intend to become Christians,but delay the work of repentence till the day of grace is past. They may then pnt forth eamest efforts, but they will be too late. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found : call upon Him while he is near. procured some water, her companions, meandme, deriding her for doing so. When she brought it to the poor soldier he could not ntter half his gratitude, fae wasso surprised and thankful; but he asked her name and address, and then she went away. Not many days afler a dreadfnl mass- aere took place in that city, ofall the Pro¬ testants, but that little girl was saved; and how do you think ? The poor soldier had not forgotten his little benefaetress; the kind action had gone deep, even into the heart of one accnstomed to scenea of cruelty and bloodshed, and the Uttle girl felt the glad echo admidst the sad desola¬ tion and gloom of that eventful day. Now go and practice my story, dear ohildren; let your Ups breathe forth only gentle tones and words, and be ready at all times to do an act of love and kind¬ ness toward any human being.

There is a pretty little snjing which, if not 7ery coininon, is, I am sure, very true—it is this: "If we speak kind words we will hear kind echoes !" " How is this, and what docs it mean," I fancy I hear a youthful voice exclaim. AVell, now, I will show you. If I could take you all at once to a deep valley be¬ tween two high hills, or put you in some quiet lake, and then bid you to shout your name with all your might you might hear it repeated once, twice, ay, and several times, growing fainter and fainter each time tall it died quite away on your ear. ^Xou think that you only had spoken, and yet several seemed calling. Surely it is some one mocking; but no! it is only yourself, with your own little voioe doing it all! so there is no need to be offended. Tou see what a wonderful power you have of making yourself heard. This, then, is the echo. If you were not to speak you would hear no echo. God has kindly made all these wonders, and they ought to teach us a osefal lesson, if we would only think about everything we see and hear. Kindness is like a sweet, soil echo; if Uttle ohildren speak loving words to each other, loving words come back again to themj and if they do kind actions, kind actions come back again. I suppose I must add a little tale by way of illustration; so here it is: There was once a little girl at school in France, a gfeat many years ago, and she was walking ont ono day with her companions in some beautiful public gar¬ dens. It happened that a poor soldier was there on duty, and not being able Jo leave hia post,he begged the yonng ladies to bring him a Jittle water. The com¬ panions, however, heeded him not, except io say how exceeding impertinent it waa of s common soldier;to'speak to them.

" Oh, sister," little Lucy cried,
" What are you doing tltere ; This is not Sunday—yet I see.
You are engaged in prayer ' Oh, eome get up, and let me romp.
And in the garden play; To morrow will he Sunday, Sis,
And, then, I'll let you pray."
" OU, sister, dear, oh, siater dear,"
Said sweet young Rosahel; Must Sunday be lhe ouly day.
In which our praises awell 1 For, oh, wc should feel very sad ;
Who fallio sin each day, If we were forced to wail, aud sigh
Till Suuday comes, to pray." *' When'er we feel that wehave sinned.
And blinding tears arise. When we would wish our Savior's hands
To wipe our weeping eyes ; No matter, sister, wheu it be
Or what Ihc hour of day. But when we feel we ueed our Qod,
'Tis alwaits good topratt."
Then iu thc silcuue of that room.
Those sisters bright and fair ; Knelt down, aud breathed in penitence
A heartfelt, fervent prayer; While angels on lheir shining winga
To hearenly courts ahove Bore up their words of trustfulness
Uuto a God of love.

THE THREE FRIENDS.
A tiny cottage—one would oall it a Lovel ifit were notso olean—with a single glazed irindow, si'arkling from its morn¬ ing bath and shaded by a cambric curtain of snowy whiteness. Within, two little rooma; the inner one containing a sack and pillow of fresh leaves covered with a clean quilt, and ventilated by two square holes higb up iu the wall, through which the light fell on a coarse engraving of the Maiionna, adorned with a garland of evergreen, some sprays from which were wound round a taper, ready for lighting on a stand ingeniously made of reeds.-— The outer room, somewhat larger, with an open fireplace, and for furniture a small tuble as white as board could be made, a shelf with a few dishes, two chairs, a box for the holiday clothing, another leaf saok and pillow, and an image of the Madonna fantastically dressed in lace and spangles and enclosed iu a shrine of gilt paper. Without, a narrow terrace stock¬ ed with mignionette, periwinkles, eglan¬ tines and white roses; a minature garden in which a few vegetables had been pain¬ fully coaxed into feeble life, and a rude shed whioh at night harbored a couple of goats. Abroad, a wide stretch of broom heath and furze, a few peat, covered huts, a sprinkling of half starved black sheep, stunted brushwood, by oourtesy called trees, and beggars ragged and dirty, who shocked the sensibility uiorc than they stirred the sympathy of the occasional traveler. '
In the cottage dwelt a widow and her son, Marie and Paul Uevere. Paul was u lad of sixteen with a boy's heart and a man's energy. His father was a conscript, who fell without having seen his child, and his mother, a stranger in the depart¬ ment of Finisterrc, had struggled with extreme poverty uutil he conld uid in their support. Where the demand for labor waa so slight this was diflieult, but they made the iflost of tho little they ob¬ tained. Neither waated so much a.s a onuub of bread, and their liubils of . thorough cleanliness gave an air of com¬ fort to their otherwise harsh surroundings. Paul alternated work with study, being taught by the priest who lived three miles distant; and he thought himself rich wlicn he could afiord a candle and so prolong his task into the night. Mother and son were absorbed in each other. Not that they were selfish, indeed, but even their cbarities were in common, and one spirit animated both. This life, in whieh the affeotions found full play, was very sweet. For a time, also, it was healthful. Paul had received the best part of his educa¬ tion when he had learned, past the possi¬ bility of qaestion or forgetfuluess, that a true home requires neither wealth nor
Wheii all was ready, Mari*'and Paul j made a-gatland of white roees md tbe glossy greeii of the periwinkle, and iralfc- ed togetlier in the gray dawn to the near¬ eat chnrch on the road to Paris, They hnng up the garland on the shrine of the Virgin, prayed before the alter, embraoed and parted. .

Paul lived in Paris as Pariaians often live. A roll with a couple of figs or a bunch of grapes made him a dainty meal. He alept near the sky, wore neat gar¬ ments, and never got in debt. He studied medicine, picked up a few accomplish¬ ments almost by intuition, and rivaled his city-born comrades in ease and polish.— In time he opened an office, and, having few paying patients, he labored gratuitous¬ ly among the poor, thus acquiring skill against the moment when Providenoe should open to him a more lucrative path.
It so happened, that in one of the streets which he daily traversed, there lived a certain Monsieur Ferrand, a re¬ tired tea merchant of much wealth. His wife was dead, and he had but one cbild —his daughter Victorine—whom he had educated to the higbest possible point, and for whom he waa determined to se¬ cure an aristocratic match. Victorine was pretty, and as it was known that her dowry would be large, she did not want for suitors; but as yet none had sncceeded in pleasing her father. To be sure, there were among them two counts, but his business habits proved stronger than his ambition when he found them equally bankrupt in purse and reputation, and he dismissed them like tho rest. She did not alter his plans and when he thought of marriage in connection with his daugh¬ ter, he always fancied a coronet glittering above her auburn braids.
One fearfully hot day, Monsieur was taken suddenly ill in his earriage, and reached home in a state of insensibility. The coachman and footman, terrified be¬ yond measure, anxiously asked each other what was to be done, but did nothing.— Paul was passing at the moment. "I am a physician," he said quietly, and gave the neeesaary orders. They were quickly obeyed,and Monsieur was laid on hisown bed. Paul then, with the permission of Victorine, commenced applying the pro¬ per remedies, while a servant was dis¬ patched* for Dr. Aiidreux, the family physician. • •
The doctor arrived soon, but was in great haste and somewhat out of humor. He was just setting out on a journey from which lie had repeatedly been de¬ tained by somo peremptory call, and he had begun to believe that cveu phyai. cians hail .¦iouie personal rights, a point which he had never before very strenu- ouslj' maintained. He looked sharply at the patient, and decided that his case would be long and wearisome. He looked sharply at Paul, who inspired him with respect and confidence. He asked a few questions, whioh the young practitioner answered promptly and modestly. " Time enough," said the doctor to himself, " pa¬ tience enough, science enough. Goea to work as if he were used to it. Needs just snch an opening. Will be thc making ofbim. Yes. I'll trust him." Then lead¬ ing Madamoiselle Ferrand to the door, he
irMepcrod, '^ Victorine, X am satiisficd that
your father is in good hands or I should¬ n't leave him; but write me every day, and direet to Maiseilles. He won't die, don't be afraid of that—but he will have a prolonged convalescence that will wear you to a skeleton. Keep the young man with him as much as possible. Farewell, iny child," acd kissing her hand with a mixtnre ot gallantry and tenderness, he hurried to his caraiage.
For three days and nights Paul scarce¬ ly left the siek ehamber. Victorine's letters were blistered with tears. Dr. Andreux looked grave. At the end of that time the patient awakened as if from a heavy slumber, inquired what was the matter with him, asked the name of the young man who had been feeling his pulse, and desired to know why Dr. An¬ dreux was not in -attendance. Upon leam¬ ing that the Doctor had left, knowing, bim to be ill, he burst into a storm of passion, and ended by declaring that he sliould never again set foot within his doors, and that the kind Dr. Devere should fill his place. He forba'le Victo¬ rine to write another line to the " great brute," and amused himself with thinking of all the disagreeable and sarcastic things he would say to him when they should meet.
He was fearfully heated and tired, and needed the services of Paul more than ever. He was soothed by his light and gentle toucli, by his skillful handling, by his instinctive knowledgo of his wants, by the hearty, cheery tones of his carefully modulated voice. Although not much given to aiialy.sis in any department, he was conscious that there was in his man¬ ner something deeper and better than mere form, aud a feeling compounded of dei'erenco, gratitude, and mere liking, sprang up in his bosom which grew more every day. He insisted that Paul should transfer his patients—he had no suspi¬ cion of their quality—to some friend and reside with him, appropriating to his use two hundsomely furnished apartments adjoining his own. Even A'iotorine was almost forgotten in this -new family ac¬ quisition.
The period of decided convalesence was as long and tedious as Dr. Andrenx had foreseen. Paul, after the first three days
Boeial distinction, but temperance, dilli¬ gence, fmgaUty, order, and irradiating I of his patient's illness, steadily persisted them with a golden light, the h)ve of the often against remonstrances wHoh had fainily and love of God.
When Marie beoame ambitions for Patli, Paul became ambitious for his moth¬ er. The feeling, the desire, crept into eaoh heart at the same moment.
Maria said, "You must go to Paris, where thereis everything to be done, and vhere great rewards wait upon exertion. You will becomo rich and famous."
Paul replied, "I will go to Paris, hun¬ ger aiiii work, that my mother may have
a maid Bervant, a flock of goats and a few
sheep in her: old age."
"It will'lie hard, my son," contiaued
the mother, " but you have three^endsj

the air of commands—in spending a part ofevery day Inthe open air. He now reaped the benefits of the praotice. His walk uot only quieted his nerves, rasped anfl fretted by-elfish exactions and pur- cile caprices, but it enabled him togather up .anecdotes, witty sayings, harmless in¬ formation of many kinds, with whioh to enUven the sick chamber. Of the life of lho schools M. Ferrand knew nothing, and Paul had the adVaiitage pf opening a new page to the irritable invalid. He illustrated his conversatioii by comic sketches, whioh he threw off with ease. He-made judicious 'selections of merry books, tho story of which he half .rejd,: halftold. -He smg aweet-old biUad*^- roijuing natioiaJ airs and liuoyant student
aongs; or playikl a flute aooo'mpaniiiieiit to Yiotorine'a harp; upon which instrament she performed well. The nighb weire even more wearisome than the days) and although Paul could not a-void an occa¬ sional contemptaouB thoaght upon witnes¬ sing snoh impatience of pain and eveti of ennui, his genuine goodness of heart led him to make every possible effort- to lighten both.
Other sympathies aided iu sustwning Panl. He was deeply in love j hopelessly so—at least so he said to himself—^but the true lover seldom absolutely despairs.. Still Paul had no tangible gronnds for hoping. He knew M. Ferrand's views for his daughter, and was £>r too honor¬ able to take any steps towards -winning her vrithout his consent. He had, be¬ sides, seen the fareweU of Dr. Andr^aui, had oaught the whispered words " write me," had -witnessed Vitjtorine's unaffeetod grief when commanded by her father to close the correspondence, and he more than suspected that she had disobeyed the injunction. The Dootor was muoh older than Madamoiselle, he was plain in person and brusque in manner, but he stood in the very first rank in his profes¬ sion ; he was wealthy and good. Besides, he had doubtless been gentle and patient with her in the long illness to which she had aUuded. It was bnt natoral that he should love Victorine; neither was it, on on the whole, strange that she should re¬ turn the passion. So Paul grew really shy of Mademoseillo; neither made or sought occasions for assisting her, and endeavored so to tutor eye and voico that they should not betray his secret. This reticence secured his hold on M. Fer¬ rand's regard. The latter was assared that he had in view no ulterior purposes, and that whatever his ori^n and plans niight be, he had some substantial sup¬ port, the source of which he had not yet discovered. He speculated mueh upon this point. He questioned Paul, as he thought, very adroitly; but, in faet, so remotely that he obtained no information. At length, tired of perpetually revolving the subject, he asked Paul directly re¬ specting his family and prospects, to which Paul answered smilingly, that his family was obscure; but that he had three friends who would help him on in this world, and that he thought himself sure of success.
He glanced throngh the window as4e spoke, and M. Ferrand, following his eye, eaught sight of M. Chcnot, his old rival in trade, his pet aversion, the only man he desired to humble. He saw M. Che- not look up, and thought a glance of in¬ telligence passed between him and the yonng physician. The suspioion beoame eertainty when Paul, a moment after¬ ward, excused himself and went out.
" Y'es," soliloquized M. Ferrand, one of his friends is that villain there, without doubt. He intends the young man for fais insignificant, freckled daughter, tbe silly Rose. That is the reason why Paul is so oool to Victorine. The gipsey likes him. I see it every day. There wants but a word to make him over head and ears in love. True, I have always inten¬ ded to make a great match for Victorine, but tben how charming it will be to de¬ feat that rascal Chenot! Besides, if I were to have a grand son-in-law he would I dare say, look down on the old teamer- chant. He wonldn't read me just the
things I like bo Kockr, i>&d toll mo Juofc iKo
things I like to know, and order just the dishes that agree with me, and contrive ingenius ways for killing time when it hangs too heavy. No, indeed, he would make no home for me. He would only take my money and make a home for himself. People will laugh, to be sure, but letthem laugb. When I have Paul safe, I wiU laugh back at them."
By the time that M. Ferrand had ar- ranged his plans Paul returned. The fresh air and rapid walk had exhilirated him, and his frank, intelligent face looked more attractive than ever to the scheming papa. Paul felt instinctively that he had never been reoeived quite so graoiously or been listen 2d to quite so earnestly- That intangible veil, that filmy barrier of which he had been conscions, in spite of so many services rendered and so mnch gratitude returned, was unexpectedly withdrawn. He felt tbe change through his whole being. He fairly luxuriated in the warm atmosphere. He became joyous. Ho drew near to Victorine' and joked lightly with her as he Ead never done before They sat at M. Ferrand's feet and sang absurd nursery ditties and funny songs, of which, however, Paul had by far the largest storf. Never had either of the three passed . a happier evening. At that moment they desired nothing but to live always together.
Thc home warmth continued. Mr. Ferrand dined with tbe young people, and declared that their stories were so good he did not mi^s the wine, which was still forbidden him. He drove out with them and loaded both with magni¬ ficent gifts. What was his anutzement, when, a week afterward, Paul entered his apartment early one morning in the utmost disorder, haggard from suffering and want ofsleep, trembling with excite¬ ment, yet wearing an expression of de¬ termined will not to be bent or broken He must, he said, depart at onoe. He could not remain an hour longer. He oould not thank Monsieur enough for his great kindnes. The happiest hours he had ever known had been spent beneath his roof.
" Then why do you go ?" asked Mon¬ sieur, bluntly.
" Beoause, Monsieur, I dare not stay. I ought not to have staid so long. WiU
you bid Mdlle. Ferrand "
" No, that I will not. Y'ou mnst make yonr adieux yourself. Then there's your
bill, and"
" No, Monsieur, I have ne bill. I have been repaid a hundred fold for any¬ thing I msy have done for -yon. I can take nothing away but your gifls and yonr friendship."
" Tut, tut, we shaU see 1 we shall see I If I have reaUy been as kind as you say —although I don't see it so clearly my¬ self—I have some claim to yonr confi¬ dence. Now teU me truly why you are BO agitated and why you desire to leave iu such-hot baste.';
" Pa;nl lopked up and met M. Fernma'i eyes fixed keenly opon him.
"The truth, Paul, I hrif guess it al¬ ready."
" Ai, Monsienr, yott wholly, guess it. I have dared to love Mdlle. Ferrand; althoagh believe me, I have never, at least never intentionaUy, led her to sns- pect my nnfortnnate passion."
"Ton speak th6 trnth, Panl. I be¬ lieve you: Do ybn think I was so bUnd as not to have seenall this ?" . "But your plans forMdUe., Monsienr? Perfaaps I faave not explained as fnlly as I should that I am of peasant birth and that my mother livea by her labor."
" Ton have not oonoealed this, Panl."
" And yon wonld accept me as Mdlle's suitor. 0, how good, how generous yon are! But Mdlle.; is she not in love with Dr. Andreanz 1"
" Heavens! Dr. Andreaux !" And M. Ferrand burst into a roar of langhter. He roUed from one side of the bed to the other. Ee shonted onoe and again: " Heavens ! Dr. Andreaux!" He seemed in danger of suffocating. Then he grasped Paul's hand and said: " The Dr. is Vio- torine's godfather!"
"AndMdUe?"
Is only waiting for you to ask her to
marry yon!
Jnst then Paul caught the sound of a light step on the stsdrs. He rushed out, not forgetting, however, to olose the door behind him. In half an hour, which ap¬ peared to the waiting papa a month at the least, the youthful pair entered, with glowing faces, and knelt for his blessing.
Neitberof the three was disappointed in the other. Paul, now that an opening was fairly made for him, soon rose to em¬ inence in his profession; while he con¬ tinned just as unselfish, as efficient, and aa gentle as when he had scareely a sou in his pooket, and bnt one coat to his back. His mother deolined leaving a spot endeared to her by early memories, and he provided her not only with the maid servant, the goats and sfaeep whioh were the objeots of his early ambition, but also with a pretty cottage, and many pleasant things besides.
Victorine made a generous, loving wifej. and M. Ferrand believed his home to be the very best one ever given to an old man and a father-in-law. One object alone disturbed him. It made him jeal¬ ous j ust the leaat in. tfae world, and he de¬ termined to know the best and the worst ofit.
" Paul, my son, he asked, "who were the three friends upon whom you de¬ pended so muoh when I first knew you?"
Paul laughed joyously. " Haven't you found that out, my father ? They were Diligence, Frugality, and the Love of God."
" Good friends, true friends," returned M. Ferrand. " You did weU to trust in them; and I," he continued, smiling af¬ fectionately at Paul, " did well to trust you.":

gone," said siater Kate, as she was pre¬ paring to go out. " How provoking it is I A glove looks so untidy unfastened."
" Just wait a minute, sister," said An¬ nie, "I believe I have some glove-but¬ tons in my box," and opening the lid, she took, out a little tin mustard box, and pouri&g iha; conteuis !n ner apron, soon, fonnd the required article. Her handy little needle and silk quickly sewed it onj and she was weU repaid by a kiss from her sister, and a hearty " Thank you, Annie dear; your little cabinet of curi¬ osities is a perfect gold mine. You can alwaye find the right thing tfaere," and she tripped down the steps quite satis¬ fied that all waa right.
"How long have yon had that box, cousin Annie?" asked Ned, who waa spending a week at the housa.
" Ever since she can remember, I guess," said her moth3r, laughing. " She always was a careful -little thing, from the time she could toddle about the floor.— She used to make-little collections of but¬ tons and tamarind stones, and I do not know what all, when she was four and five years old. It is a good habit, though, and I am sure we are all indebted to her every day of our lives. It would be a curiosity to keep an aocount, some day, of the calls she haa."
"I tfaink I will do it," said Ned.— " Where can I find a paper and pencil ?" Annie opeoed her little box again and took out the half of an old envelope she had saved, cutting off the torn side, and a Uttle piece of penoii some one had swept out doors.
" Tou can set down three things, to begin with," she said langhing—" a glove button, a piece of paper, and a pencil."
Just then little Martha came running in, the string ofher bonuet off, and sbe in " sucfa a faurry."
" Run to Annie, said faer mother, who was busy making mince pies.
Up went the box-lid, and this time a little bag, containiog aU sorts of odds and ends of old strings and ribbons, was over¬ hauled. The right thing was sure to be there, and taking li threaded needle from a cushion, the string was sewed on in a minute's time, and Mattie was dancing off to her play.
"Nnmber four," said Ned, jnst as father oame in and asked Annie if she oould find him " a good tow string. He wanted to mend his harness enough to drive to the harness-makers' and have it repaired." Another little bag -was pro¬ dnced, wfaich contained just' wfaat was wanted, and with a " thank you daugh- ter, you are a treasure, and so is your box," he went his way."
" Jnst take yonr work, and don't stir from that comer to day," said Ned," you'U be wanted. You might set up a store.— If they all had as many customers these hard times, they would thrive. Well, Tommy, what oan we do for ybu ?"

" Simon, yon must make haste, or you wiU be too late for tfae boat," said Mrs. Shaw to her son, who Was preparing to set ont for the city, but not with as much guiokness aa seemed desirable.
"Never was too late," said Simon, aa though tfaat were a ponclnsive argument. " You wUl oertainly be too late to-day, unless tfae clock ia too fast."
Simoii looked at his watch, and pro. ceeded with more faaste to get ready. He left the faouse scarcely bidding his mother good-by. He was not gone long. In less thitn hour herp-entered thehonse. " Boat left ine," was his remark; and he went to his room, perhaps to esoape'a reproof for having neglected the caation his mother had given him.
It -was a great disappointment to Si¬ mon that he did not get on board the boat- He had looked forward to the vi¬ sit he wss about to make for months. There was a particular reason why he wiahed to reach tfae place by that day's boat- He had no one to blame but him¬ self, A little more eare, and fae wonld not faave been left.
Men oflen suffer greater disapppint- mentB than that eonnected by the failnre to make a visit, in consequence of being too late. • A young man was once taken as a olerk in a large manufacturing es¬ tablishment. He was the son of a de¬ oeased friend of the proprietor. The pro¬ prietor gave him his place for his father's sake. He intended to make him in due time a partaer in the concern, and thns to pnt him on the high road to fortune. He was a prompt nran, aud required promptness on the part of those in his employinent.
The young man's eonduot provod very satisfactory in many respeots. He was thoroaghly honest and truthful and faith¬ ful ; but he was nofcalways prompt. When told that a thing must be doue by a oer- t:ua hour, it was not always doue by the time. It would never be neglected; but would not be finiahed till after the time. Several times the proprietor :nade ap¬ pointments with him, and eacli time he was a few minntes after the time. Noth¬ ing was said to him by way of complaint but his tardiness prevented his having a place in the firm. Mr. L. wanted a man that he could depend upon for prompt¬ ness OS well as fidelity. In thia sense, many a man has been too lute for thc boat. One of the first habits young | er¬ sons should form should be that of doing things at tbe right time. They should establish a character that wiU be a pledge that whenever anything was undertaken, it would be completed at the right time. If you make an engagement to meet any one at a certain time, be sure and be at the plaoe exactly at the time appointod. Do not aay, a few minutes will not make any difference. If you engage to do a thing by a certain hour, do not say, it will be just as well if it be done half an hour afterwards.
There is a certain time during which the mind is capable of rapid improvement, aua wbcu napiis arc t:uaiiy lormed. That time must be promptly used by tbose who desire mental improvement. Many who feel the importanoe of cultivating their minds, and who know tbat labor is ne¬ cessary to their cultivation, are not ready to begin in earnest tUl the best season for improvement has passed. You intend to read a good book. Don't put it off. Do it withont delay. Don't be too late for the boat.
There is a eertain time in which the soul may be educated for eternity—in whioh salvation may be secured. It must be done previously to a certain time, or it must remain undone for eternity. Hence the work should be entered upon prompt¬ ly, with the determination to have it done by the appoiited time. But many put it off tUl it is too late. They intend to do it; they intend to become Christians,but delay the work of repentence till the day of grace is past. They may then pnt forth eamest efforts, but they will be too late. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found : call upon Him while he is near.
procured some water, her companions, meandme, deriding her for doing so. When she brought it to the poor soldier he could not ntter half his gratitude, fae wasso surprised and thankful; but he asked her name and address, and then she went away.
Not many days afler a dreadfnl mass- aere took place in that city, ofall the Pro¬ testants, but that little girl was saved; and how do you think ? The poor soldier had not forgotten his little benefaetress; the kind action had gone deep, even into the heart of one accnstomed to scenea of cruelty and bloodshed, and the Uttle girl felt the glad echo admidst the sad desola¬ tion and gloom of that eventful day.
Now go and practice my story, dear ohildren; let your Ups breathe forth only gentle tones and words, and be ready at all times to do an act of love and kind¬ ness toward any human being.
"Speak gently! 'tis a Uttle word.
Dropped iu tbe heart's deep well, Tho love, the joy, thnt it may bring. Eternity will toll,"
