"It WAS Christmas Eve, and as uaual lbe whole city of  seemed making prepa¬ ratioua far the cotuiug uiurrow; the shop wiwdowH-prHre daily decked oat with presents for old aud youug iu varieties to suit all taates, and crowded iu frout of thetn was many a little urchin, some ou tip-lue raised to ad¬ mire some toy differeut from what they already possfaoed, aud otbers less fortunate, admiring witb a sigh wbat they kuew by ex¬ perieuce could niU be theirs. In «*rery house, ¦except where waut had found a lodging or illness .^nd death made home desolate, gaiety reigned, while visions of happiuess floated before all, from the little ones who were busily engaged hauyiug tbidr attickings lhat Sauta Claus might Ull them, lo the Gbildren of a larger growth, whose minds were ijuUb .is full of airy casiles of pleasure.
Iu a handsome dwelling, situated in a pop¬ ulous and fashiouable portion of the oity waa Beated Morion Chaudler, Esq., attorney at law, as the directory wonld inform us, and a fine looking, wealthy man, bo called by all bis frieuds. All around bespoke wealth and reOnement, even iu this his sanctum or library. The welMined shelves, panelled witb oak, containing standard works, explain¬ ing the quibbles and intricacies of law, histo¬ ries, phiiosopbical writiugs, tbe poets, as also a lighter but still choice collection of litera¬ ture, with here and tbere exquisite statuettes, and gems of art iu painting. A deep bay window i-l bung with massive curtains, whose crimson folds sweep gracefully to tbe soft and yielding carpet; above the mantel r.re I medalliou likenesses of several distinguished statesmen, aud in lhe ceutre a large bronze I mantel clock, surmounted by the muse of Uistory ; it strikes, and its silvery voice tells ; that it is but five o'clock, although the deep¬ ening shadows have made the room already dark, but for the bright fire blazing iu the grate, reflecting its raya to the centre table, where, seated in an easy chair, his hand rest¬ ing on a hook be has just closed, sits the possessor of all. lie is a fiue looking man of perhaps forty years of age,withaniutellectual brow, of a-somewhat saudy complexion, but a dark, piercing eye. The possessor of ao much wealth and intellect should be'happy; it would seem as though no thought of tbe morrow would come athwart his vision dis¬ turbingly, but it is uot so.
"To-morrow will be Christmas, tbe day wben all will be merry, the day when in all habilatioufi where fortune smiles joy will reign, aud to-uight glad voices are telling, and hearts beating in joyful auticipation of tbe morrow, wbile I, with every gift that fortune can shower, witb many warm-hearted friends who are now happy iu their bright homes—I am alon^. It is on such anniversaries as these, that tbo scenes of my early life come moat vividly before me, and aa I recall ihem I cau but tbink, it might bave been I" and be ' aank iuto a deup reverie. What might have beeu? We will review thoae scenes and judge.
Mortou Chaudler was the son of a well-made farmer, a man of iutegrity, aud very fond of his only son.    Ue saw natnre did uot design bim to follow bis father's vocation, he so  wiaely gave him every advantage of education, aud be so improved them, tbat when be  entered ' oollege be pursued bia studies with credit, I mucb to hia  father'a delight.    Upon bia re-; tum home at the vacation be firat met Louise , Whitman, who bad become an inmate of hia father's bome, being oonsigued to the guar- dianaliip of Mr. Chandler, senior,   npou   the death ofher falhHr, her last^snrviving parent, and on iuiimale friend ofMr. Chandler.   She was an interestiug, well-eduoaled girl of sorae seventeen summers, and tbe youug collegian, wbose years nmnlerod .some three more, im¬ mediately   fell   iu love, desperately as   bo tbongbt.    He returned to college fully  im¬ pressed with the idea, and after bia gradua¬ tion returned to find Louise, to bia eyes, still more lovely.    Nothiug of tbe atate of Uis feel¬ ings had ever be»'U Kbown, and  when   he  at last toldlhestoryof his love,sh« waa surprised aa well aa pained, aud told him she regarded bim as a loving brother, and could never feel otherwiae to him, as ber affections were given to another, to wbom ahe abould  shortly be uuited.   Thua awoke from bis dream, he im¬ mediately sought and gained permission from bts father to go to the city aud begin in form tbe study aud practice of law, which be had oboaen as a profession ; lo it be devoted his strict attention, and after hia admittance to tbe bar be rapidly rose in esteem.   The young lawyer soon became a lion in aociety ; lie was praised and sought by all, and especially flat¬ tered by ladits with marriageable dsugliters, wbo were all somewhat surprised wben it was announced that be was about to lead to tbe ¦ altar Caroline Wbite, tbe rich heiress : yet ao it waa, aud the marriage tookplace wtth great style, tbe subseqaeut festivities forming a great feature in the fashionable world.   Mauy accused him of mercenary views, but wben tbey saw that be still applied bimself to hia profession,   and rose  to a distinction that claimed  respect,  tbey were silenced.   But the few succeeding years were years of dis¬ appointment to bim.   Instead  of finding a companion in tbe wife be bad  chosen sbe proved a gay, rattling woman of fashion, fond of and used to admiration, but still proud of lier husbands talents, aud as fond of bim aa her nature would permit, more the fault of edaoaUou than the heart.   At the end of five years she died, being baried in all the pomp in whioh she had Ured; bat the tears he shed
on her coffin!were those of regret, not those of deeply felt anguiah.
Her death waa quickly foUowed by tbat of hia father and mother, whom he sincerely moumed. Of Louise Whitman be had never heard since she married, and left bis father'a house; be had often thonght of ber, and to¬ night every little incident connected with her came before him, and as he thougbt, ho said '¦ " It might have been 1"
He waa awoke from bia reverie by a some wbat nervoua,  beaitating pull at tbe door¬ bell, and a moment after tho servant eutered saying, tbere waa a cbild at the door, who said she bad something to deliver to Mr, Chandler's owu hands. " Bring lighta and admit her." The aervaut did so, and a few momenta af¬ ter a light   step was beard on the tbresh- hold of the door.   Mr. Chandler turned and saw a amall figure wrapped closely, and aba- ding its eyes from the audden glare of ligbt. " Walk in, I am Mr. Chandler." The figure advanced hesitatingly lo the ta¬ ble and reached forth a tiuy hand, holding a letter; he took it, and glancing ouly at tho auperacription hastily opened it,  and  within beheld a well execnted but small drawing of the old homestead, biscbildhooil's home, aud the following words written as with difficuly : "Ifyou still cherish recollections oftbe past come and aee Lodibk."     ^
As he raised bis bead, there  stood the litile   messenger, ber hood slightly  thrown back, Iookii}g at him with an earneat gaze.     , " WeU, my child, what is your name ?"      | " My narae ia Amy Eustace,  but I am not a child, at least I am fiftefu years old t"        ! " Indeed 1 pardon me, Miss Amy 1" " Do not call me misa—but Amy.   Mother lias ao often spoken of yoa tbat I already feel I know you."
" Then allow me the privilege of an old friend, aud permit me to offer you a seat while I order some refreshment; you must ba tired after yoor walk." j
" Tbe walk was not very long, and I mu.'st I hasten to my dear mother ; ahe ia aloue, and I fo.ir very ill. Sbe is most anxious to see you ; will you uot retnru wilh me ?"
" It will give me pleasure to" see her—I will but leave yon an iu?ant to givea few or¬ dera and then accompany yon."
And so sayiug, Hr. Chandler left the room. Amy did not aeem to beed tbe invitation to rest herself, but stood looking in child-like wonder from one object to auotber, aud when Mr. Chaudler returned he fouud ber intently gazing at a very flne copy of tbe Madonna aud child.
" Yott tbink tbat beauiiful I doyou not?" " It is more thau beauiiful; it is heavenly 1 I waa thinkiug—"
'* You need not hesitate ; what did yoa think ?"
" Tbat you muat be very bappy, surround ed by ao mucb tbat is beautiful 1"
" Tis natural you sbould tbiuk so ! You speak like a youug enthusiast; bat did yoa possess all these, and were alone in the world, would you be happy ?"
"Aloue! witb no one to love! no one to care for me! it would be hard, bnt I should try and be content, for my mother aaya there is One above that doeth all tbinga well."
The mau of the world gazed at tbe little figure before him, aud felt her faith waa wortb more tban all bia philosophy.
"Ifyou are ready, I shoald like to go, as mother will be anxiously waiting for me!"
Aud as they left tbe door, Mr. Chaudler had to walk briskly to keep up witb hia lit¬ tle guide. She paused not until she came to a small house in a less frequented and more homely part of the city. Entering the door, she ran up stairs, and opening the door of a room, bade him enter. Ue did so, and beside the fire-place beheld a lady seat¬ ed in an old-fashioned, easy chair, propped up by pillows ; as be advancsd, she extend¬ ed her hand, joyous to see him, butin her he could scarcbly recognize tbe Louise of for¬ mer days. AU the poetry with which he had alwaya invested ber image vanished; aud left hefora him not the objeot of hifi youth's adoration, but a pale, sickly woman ; one who looked aa though the storms of life bad visited her somewhat roughly, but still left a peaceful look behiud. Tbe first pleas¬ ure of meeting over, she told him bow rever¬ ses, then sickness, bad followed her haaband, uutil he sank beueath them, aud she waa left alooe to battle witb the world, and take care of their only child; how consumption had long sinc" set its seal ou ber, and now fearing each day might be for her the last, she had sent for hira her early friend, to con¬ fer alfout tbat child's welfare. "J bave," she said, ''no relation to whom I could turn ; tbe only one I bad, wbc would have' an iu¬ terest in ber, my brother, years since weut to India, and I bave not since heard frora bim ; he must be dead. In my emergency I thougbt of yoa, andsaid, if Morton Chandler has the same heart be had, he will not refuae my last request, but be a protector to my only ohild."
"You rightly judged me. I am tbe aame, and little Amy sball never want a friend wbile I live, but I trnst your loviug care may not yet be takeu from her."
" I feel it must be otherwiae. Come here, Amy,"
Amy came, now divested of her wrappings, which showed her not to be quite so small aa sbe appeared. Uer close fitting, though per¬ fectly plain dress of dark meriuo displayed a good form already rounding into womanhood ; sb : waa not handaome, but she had large, luatrona eyes, a complexion rather dark, but relieved wbeu ornamented by a sunny smile, wbich seemed to break iu ripples over the face, giving it a genial softness, but her voice was her great charm, for it was almost music's self.
" Come bere. Amy, you aud my dearest friend must no longer be atrangera."
" We are not strangers, mamma ; I already feel that I know him, and will lovo bim, if he wiil allow me."
"Allow you. Amy! yea, aud he grateful forit, for 'twas only to-night, juat aa you came to me, that I felt I was alone, without oue loving heart to lean upon."
"Alone I" said Mrs. Eustace. "I heard yoa were married—that yoar wife died ; had you uo children ?"
" Nono ; aud by my parent's death I was left withont the ties of kindred. Yoa may imagine tbe pleasure it gives me ouce more to aee au old and dearly loved friend, one that time haa left tbe same, and most will- iugly do I join yoa in tbe protection of Amy !" " And should I be taken from her ?" " I will be her guardiau and do for her, as for my own—"
"May heaven bless yon, and Amy never give you cause to regret your kindness. Amy read to us—read the story of the birth of that boly cbild whioh makes to-morrow a holiday throngbout the world, the celebration of tbe birth of a new ana glorious promise."
Amy took a low seat at her mother'a feet, aud read the chapter with a feeling and ear¬ nestness that aeemed to give her face more of the woman-look than it had' yet borne, and Morton Chandler felt the holy inflnence, and mauy emotiona of his heart, long since lain dormant, awoke to new life, aud gave him a thrill of pleasure he had for years been a' stranger to, and as Amy closed the book, be looked upon ber child-like figure and expres¬ sive face almoat witb reverence. Mra. Eustace was eveu weaker tban she bad imagined ;— ahe sank rapidly, and died ina few daya, con¬ signing her Amy to her new guardian's care, and wben the new year dawned, she waa an inmate ofhis house, looking still more child¬ like in habiliments of mourning, and on New Year's night, as he laid his haud upon ber head, wiahing her a "happy new year," he conld never forget the tone in which sbe said,
"I am aloue now,  will  you  love poor Amy?" And her gentle voice and words entered hia
heart and nestled tbere, beginniug for botb an era iu a new exiatence.
CHAPTER II.
*' And whnt U home, aod where, but with the lovlog ?" Alaa. BEMa.^a
The new year advanced rapidly towards tbe spring time, and still Amy remaiued qnietly in ber new home, studying and reading with her guardian. He found ber miud well grounded iu kuowledge, for her mother had made it her apecial care to teach her ; and ahe eould reason aud explain a subject with an aptitude tbat aometimes mado the man of letters look with astoniRhmeut at the little figure beaide him. At laat the thought forced iLself Upon him that she must go to school to alth.in those accoraplishments uec.esaary for a youug lady of ber years. The thought waa a disagreeable one, for her preaence bad made lively tbat stately house. All felt the aun- flhine nf ber influence, Irom her master down¬ ward. Mra. Piim, the honaekeeper,waa beard to say tliat Mr. Chandler looked ten years younger sinca the new year, and Mrs, Prim couriidered herself quite au oracle. She did uot think any one would influence her—not ahe! but it was quite a matter of surprise among the servants to see ber allow Amy to removo a chair from its former precise placo to give the room a habitable look ; to see her staud by looking with pleasure wbile Amy arranged flowers here and there witb etfect, wbich before abe would bave characterized aa superfluous or needless trouble; or approve of ber adding aome little comfort to her guar¬ dian's room, but the old lady would looksur- prised at tbe cbild, as sbe called her, when sbe would say, " There, Mrs. Prim, does not tbat look comfortable ? but you will not tell my guardian that I did it, will yoa ? No I I know yon will oblige me, for I am going to do aometbing for you—make you a cap—tbat shall be it J Do not laugh—I can do it and I know you will wear it for Amy." Thus it waa by ber uniform kindness she won all hearts, and the poor, but now not friendleas orphan gaiued affection of which any bne might be proud.
Bnt Mr. Chandler felt her education waa a duty from which no selfish conaideration shoold deter him, and he made up his mind to place her in a diatinguiabed seminary, and told Amy of his determin-ition. She was grieved tbat she must leave hira ; ber tiraid uature shrank from going araongst strangers, bat, when be explained, she acquieaced, al¬ though her heart could not feel joyous at the proapect. Sbe accordingly eutered Madam B.'s aeiect Academy, which, unlike most faahionable scboola of the present day, waa a tboroagb one, and admirably fitted its pupils fnr the useful &3 well as ornamental depart¬ ments of life.
After Amy's departure, tbe gloom seemed to settle agaiu around tbe old hoaae; every¬ thing resumed its stateliness. To Morton Chandler the change was a great oue. Ho missed her quiet presence everywhere. Mauy a little comfort that he before enjoyed witbout thinking whence it came, now betrayed ita author by its abaence. All combining to de¬ preas hia spiriis, he determiued to execute a project long since formed, tbat of viaiting the continent, and by a leugtboQed tour see the mauy scenes his faucy bad ao often pictured. During his tonr bo kept up a couatant corre spoudeuce witb Amy.^nd thus knew that her miud was rapidly improving. Nearly two years had elapsed, when he returned to Lon¬ don as fall waa deepening into winter. There he found the following letter from Amy :—
" Dear Guardian,—Do you know that a certain little friend of yours is seventeen yeara old to-day; aud, by the way, little no longer, ior I bavo grown ! Bat a truce to this. Are you not tired of wandering ? It is true you have beeu to many a place where everything delights the eye ; to Italy, tbat suuuy land, where poetry and the fiue atts seem to have attained perfection, and where one cau aee old speclmena of the arts of every age ; to la belle Prance, where elegance aud refinement reigu, maile doubly enjoyable by suavity of manner aud fre>?dom from restraint; to Eug- i land, where a sterner code exiats, but where I literature is a reality ; to au Americau there '• must be much to pleaae. But have you, in ail your travels, fonud surb warm friends as you left behind in your owu sunny laud ? I am very sure in your absence Amy has lost the pre.seuce of ber dearest friend, altbougb his tbongbtful care has left her no other want. Christmas is nearly bere agaiu, aud that seasou, wbich reminds me so mournfully of my dear lost mother, is more dreary wheu you, my only friend, are abseut. Yon will come, will you not ? Come bauk to home aud yonr grateful Aatv."
This siraple letter seemed to have the effect to decide bia wauderiug mind, for he imme¬ diately anawered that be should bo home by Christmaa, aud followed bia letter aoon after, arriving in New York in time to reach bome on Christmas Eve.
As he neared bome, many recollections crowded upon him, painful aud otherwise, such as all must experience who for a length of time leave their native land ; aod yet bis emotions were more of pleasure wbeu he felt be was indeed about to enter hia accustomed home ooce more.
Astbe carriage drove up, the door flew open to welcome tbe strauger back, and aa be en¬ tered the drawing room—bis eye in search of littlo Amy—a young lady advauced ao eager¬ ly to meet Uim, it could be no other, and yet so great the cbaugo that, although even pre¬ pared for it, he was astonished. The three inches added to her height made her uo more tbe wee creature of two yeara since, but gave her a graceful aud elegant carriage ; tbe look beyond ber years sbe had possessed aa a child had settled into a calm, inteUectual repose— AUbough not a beantiful womau, in the com¬ mon acceptation of the term, sbe bad growu an elegant one, and as ahe advauced andsaid " Welcome home," it waa in the aame tonea ' of silvery sweetness that only two years since seemed to Morton Chandler to proceeed from the angel child wbo came to bim, as tbo con¬ viction forced itaelf upon bira tbat be waa alone. Since then sho had beeu ao object of constant solicitude to him, but always re¬ membered as a cbild ; therefore his astonisb- raent at the chauge time bad made.
An in all re-unions, the paat was tbe topio of conversatiou; tho veil of tbe futare neither cared to lift, tho present being happy enough to aUow no desires to mar its pleaaures.
Mr. Chandler, remembering Amy's taate, bad brougbt a large collection of articles of vertu from the old world, exquisite paintings of many stylea, but none so exquisite to Amy aa the Madonna that already adorned the library, tha firat object ahe bad noticed when sbe bad entered tbe bouS'S. She had a pen¬ chant for old tbinga, although a deep admira-' tiou for all the beautiful. It were needless to enumerate tbe articles displayed one aftor anotber, all gems of art. Mrs. Prim, though, could aee no use in sd many tbings to litter up a house. "Why," said she, "one can scarcely move witbout there raust be some¬ thing iu the way. We had enongb here without Mr. Chandler's bringiug everything be could find in fnrrin parts. In my young days everything was for nae; now there is very littlo for use—everything for ehow and trouble." She was somewhat moUified when Amy told her that tbe care of many of them , sbould be b«r peculiar province. Aray'aohief ' treasure was the exquisite little watoh her guardian f;ave her asa birthday present, with the wisb that all her hours migbt be as gol¬ den as tbat dial would seem to make them, and that ber life might glide amoothly ou with no raore clouds than obscured the bright nesa ofthe diaraonda that decorated it.
Thereafter, tbe bouae of Mortou Chaudler was throwu open to the world. Amy, as tho ward to so rich a man, had admirers and sui¬ tors enough to satisfy one more ambitious of admiration tban sbe. Eut althougb she en¬ joyed society, her eourteoaa manner to all, but preference to none, gave her the name of being cold, and some said ahe had no heart. No.heart? They Uttle knew the wealth of love that lay hidden there.
CHAPTER IU.
"Love—what a Tolttme hi a wordl"—Tuppaa.
Amy," aaid Mr. Chandler, one day, "of whom yon have heard me speak, George Houston, aa true a mau as breathea—a true Southeruer; one whose warm heart and social maunera make one at ouce acqainted with him. By the-bye, he is a bachelor; perhaps he may fiud a bride for his pretty cage at home,
Mr. Houstou oame, and Amy felt soon at home with bim, and she lost muoh of ber supposed coldness, thinkiug of him as her guardian's friend ; and, moreover, he .was a most entertaining oompanion. In Amy he saw tbo traits of oharaoter he bad always prized; he coald see beneath the surface, and found a beart thero worth the winning, and soou found that his could beat responsive to it.
" This wiU never do. Me, the old bachelor, caught, and by a aimpie girl! Still, ber worth deaervea tbat; ere I leave, ahe should know how deeply I appreciato it."
He songht Amy aud told ber of his prefer¬ ence, at the same time offering her hia hand and fortnne. Amy was aurprised at the avowal, for although she deeply prized bia friendahip, more sbe bad not thought to gaiu. " At least, give me hope that time may in¬ duce you to think mora favorably of my auit." " I cannot," aaid Amy ; "it would bo dela. sive. I must marry, if ever, wbere .i.y heart beats quickly to the question,' Do yon love?i aud anawer fervently ' Yes.' Now its pulses aro calm."
" And do you not love another ?" " Me love I   I have never asked myself tbe qaestion, and yet I feel I can lovo devotedly. I have been a lone, stray waif, cast, as it were* upon tbe sea of fortune, but still ao tenderly cared for, tbat I bave not felt tbe want of other love." " And your guardian ?" " Ah I it ia to him I owe all. I feel tbat my whole life devoted to him would iU repay the debt of gratitude I owe."
George Honaton waa aatisfied, and said to himself aa he left her, "poorchitdt she thinks she does not love; bnt hor devotiou to Mor¬ ton needs bnt au opportunity to show itaelf in a flame of love. I deeply desire their hap¬ pineas. Would I could help thera to find^ tbeir hearts."
Mr. Houston's avowal had awakened a new traiu of thought in Amy's miud. Many of the butterfliea of faahion, by wbom she was in | society surrounded, had mado her similar offers, but sbe had felt that by refusing ihera merely their pride might be wouuded, aa their heraldry waa " handa, not hearts; "but here was one of Nature's-noblemen, to gain wboae eateem she had felt proud. Why was it ahe shrank when bo apoke of love ? Her guardian's friend, too, one of whom be would approve; but to marry would be to leavo bim, and tbia, my happy home. Ob, no I I do not love ; I ahall not marry, but remain as I am, aud try, iu a meaaure, to repay my guardian for his kindness. Amy relapsed into a rev¬ erie. Seventeen ia apt to dream; but aho was interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Chandler.
" What, dreaming. Amy, In the twUight,— Here is more matter for you," and bo handed her a slip from a newspaper to read.
IsFORMATios WANTED—If Louisa Whit¬ man, or any of ber heirs are still living, they will hear of something to their advantage, and confer a favor by addressing 0. W., Box 42, P. 0.
"I saw tbis, Amy, a f^w days since, and answered it; I reoeived iu return acomrauni- catioa appointing an Interview; went to-day to the appointed place, aud there fouud your long lost unele."
" What! my mother's only brotber, whom she mourned so long ?"
"The sarae. I could scarcely recognize bim, so bronzed ia be by exposure in India, where be haa so long sojourned. He haa just returued to bis uative laud, and hia heart yearned towards bis only siater. H::.viug loat all trace of ber, be resorted to advertisiug, with what succosa you are aware; aud now tbat aister no longer lives to greet him, be would see you, hia only near relative on the earth. He is even now in tbe library ; I ba^ came before to prepare you. ShaU we go there to him ?"
Aa tbey entered the library, the long abseut uncle advauced to moot her, aud said, " Cau it be poaaible? Yon poor Louiaa's cbild?— Can you receive tbo uncle you have never seen, aud beatow some affectiou upon him for her sake ?"
"Willingly! Oh, that dear mother could have lived to see thia day 1"
All the past events were explained, and he tbna became acquainted witb Amy's positiou, and by Mr. Chandle'r'a invitation mado his bouse bia bome for the time.
Owen Whitman told them bow the world had prospered with him, and that, after years of toil he had returned to bia native land and that uow be could make a home for Amy. "Woold she not go aud make that home light for him ?"
Go, make anotber home light ? tbe idea bad never presented itaelf to Morton Chandler before. He had so long looked upou himself as her only noar friend, that be could not for the time allow another ahoald bavo a strong¬ er claim. What were the ties of kindred tiU now unknown, compared to ties formed by conatant soliciiude and intimate acquaintance with the object ?
Tbese queationa formed tbe suhject of his thoughts on many occasions. Ho thought of them until be was sorry he followed the .im¬ pulse which prompted bira to answer tbe ad¬ vertiaement. The presence of Oweu Whit- mau seteoied to fret bim, and even Amy look¬ ed iu astonishment to see him at times ao moody aa to be wanting in courteay. He kept alone, and evinced irritation that Amy ahoald give so much lime to ber newly found rala¬ tive. What feeling actuated him ? Waa It jealousy ? Oh, no! be thought, only that he bad beeu so bappy; bad begun to feel that be was uot alone, and now to have his vision of happiuess so rudely thrown down! Sucb were the feelings he indulged on auother Christmas eve. Why waa it that this anui¬ veraary seemed to exercise au influence on bis fate ? Was it beoauae he allowed, thoaght more range? and as each eveut floated L<efore him, eacb aaaumed uew significance. All tbe lonelineaa of former years, and tbe pleaa¬ nre aud contentment of tbe last oue, eapeci- | ally, rose in double force before him.
There was a gentle knock at tho door, aud ' a gentle "May I come in ?" followed by tbe eutrawce of Amy, who glided to the table, and placiug her hand upon bis shoulder, aaid, ¦"Alone, dear guardian, and on this anuiver¬ aary ! Do you not remember tbat it ia tbree years to night that Amy carae to yoa ? You tben received the pleading child, aud your kindness gave ber the coufldeuce she lacked. A week later you couaoled her by bestowing upon ber the affection of a true frieud, gave bor something in tbe lonely world to cling to. In what has that cbild, to woman grown, changed, or what has abe done, that her best frieud aeems lo abuu ber ?" |
" Done!    You, Aray ?   Notbing I" "Then, dear guardian, now that our aepa-: ration ia talked of, do not reraove your couu¬ teuance ;  the   prospect is in itself gloomy enough."
"Amy, I see it all. 'Tia ray selfishness bas mado all the unhappy cbauge. I caunot bear tbe thought tbat you sbould leave rae; in trying to aubmit, I find my atubborn will hard to beud. I have passed the bey-day of youth, but you, Aray, you are young, will always find loving hearts to obertab you, and when, At last, yon ohoose one among them, at timea remember your firat friend."
" Do y'ou tbink I could forget my dyiug mother's thankfulnesa that Heaveu bad seut 80 kind a protector for her orphan child ; tbe years that have foUowed, with all the atten¬ dant care aud soUcittide ; no wish ungratUied, soaroe a thoaght unanticipated ?

iight my own ingralitade to the Giver of all [ moments I was balf paralized with terror and

"I scarce know my duty. Uncle Owen thinks it is to him, wbile I have been so happy hore—"

SCENES IN HY HOUSEHOLD.
A DAY LOST.
I yoa have not deserved or repaid. ,It was ' X expeot an old and r&laed friend of mbaei   yoar gentle faith first made me see in ita trae
I waa sewing away one morniug, for dear life aa the sayiug ia, iutending to make a good day of it, and put my work ahead when Hetty, my Uttle daughter, Uve yeara old, gave a pull at my elbow, aud aaid, " Mamma."
"WeU, dear, what is wanted?" I did not look aside frora my work, into her sweet Uttle face, nor apeak in as loving tones as uaual, for tbo interruption waa not wholly agreeable.
"Cau't I bavo my was doll, mamma ?" Now thia wax doll was a treasured preaeut frora grandmother, highly prized aud careful¬ ly treated by Hetty ; and after being tenderly nursed by her, dreased and undreaaed. on rare occasious, laid away under lock aud key iu one of my bureau drawers. " Not to-day," was ray answer. " Why not to-day, mamma ?" Sure uuough, wby not to-day ?   That was just tbe CLueation.   Was it because Hetty migbt injure the doU ?   No; that wasnot the reason ; for she waa a careful Uttle girl. The true reaaon waa, I did uot wish to leave my work and lose five minutes'time in going up stairs to tbo bureau.   Just this, and uo more.   But what reply was made to Hetty ? A very unreasonable and unaatisfaotory ouo ; aud such as no raother should over make- " Because you can't havo Dolly to-day." Because—Uow many shortcomings and ains of omission are covered by thia conveuient vagnely-meanly, little word.
" I won't hurt her, mother, I'll be, oh I so ! careful.   Do, mother, let me have Dolly."
"Didn't I say that yon couldn't bave Dolly?"
I kuit my brows, and spoko with some se¬ verity. Haviug said no, I must be firm. Rigbt or wrong, I muat be conaiateut; that ia,. have my own will in tho case. And aa I was the atronger of the two, of course my will do" cided the question betweeu as.
Poor Hetty? She knew something of my bard decision of character, aud retired from tbe contest. As I turued my eyes from her face to my, work, I carried iu my mind the image of her grieving lipa, and tear-fiUed eyes. Was I rebuked ? Yes. Did I repent ? Yes. And go for tbe doll at once ? No. I was buay at my work, and could not spare a minute. Sewing aeama was of more couse- (jueuce than sewiug seeda of happiness in the heart of my child. Aud theu, had I not said tbat Dolly was not to mako her appearauce to-day ? Was I to break my word. No. I muat be a consistent mother, if I expected to govern my children aright.
It was very still in the room for the next teu miuutes. Only a sob or two broke the sileuce, at first, as Hetty choked down her disappointment. Sbe had cropt into tbe great arm-chair, aud waa sitting there idle aud silent. After a while I tarned partly around, and glanced towarda her stealthily. Her brow was contracted, her Upa pursed out sUgbtly, and over her whole face waa a ahade of nnhappiness.
"Why don't you get your china doU?" said I, rather coldly.
"I don't want mj china doll," she an¬ swered.
" 0, very well, just aa you please, my little lady," I returned; aud took no more uotioe of | her for ten minutes longer—all the while ¦ working away aa intently as if our next meal depeuded on tbe reault of my labor. I was aorry tbat I had not taken the time to get Hetty's wax doU; but, as I bad said no,, I concluded that it was beat to let no remain iu force.
Presently she slipped down from the arm¬ chair, and went quietly from the room. I paused in my work, and listened to the ligbt patter of her feet aa sbo went up ataira.
A faiut sigh, born of a pasaing regret came up from my heart. " It would have been better if I had given her the doll," aaid I to myself.   "But it is too lato now."
So I beut to my sewing again, aud made i tbe Uttle needle fiy with increased velocity. " I wonder where that child ia, and what ahe is doing?" ^
Nearly half an hour had pasaed since Het¬ ty left the room. I paused iu vay work as I asked myaelf the queatiou, and liatened.— But I could hear no sound of her, I would have laid down my aewiug aud gone insearoh of her, only—wbat ? I felt as if I could not apare the time I "Hetty!"
Tbere was no reply. " Hetty I    Where are you ?" A voice was raiaed to a louder key; but no response came-   So I beut to my work once more-
But this uncertainty as to where tho child had gone, aud wbat she was doing, oould uot very long be borne. Th& timo oame wheu I dropped everything, aud started, in some concern of mind, frora tbe room. I looked iuto my own chamber, but sho was not there. I called but got no answer.— Then I ran up to the third story, and push¬ ed the doorof oneof the rooms open hastily. In the middle of the bed sat my little truant, busily at work, with a pair of acissors, on au elegant lauo cape whiQh cost me fifteen dol¬ lars.
With a quick exclamation aud an exoited manuer, I sprang towards my little destruo¬ tive, wbo frightened at my tona and appear¬ ance, saddenly threw up her handa, and I saw the sharp points of the aciaaors ahe held, enter her cheek just below the eye. A acream followed, as the blood ran over her face. What a aickeniag sense of pain and faar fell saSdenly upon my heart.   For some
And so, in my over-eagerneaa to " make a good day of it," I had compaased tbe loaa of a day.
After tryiug with an unsteady hand, to make my needle do its work, I threw down my aewing in deapair, and went over to the chamber where I had laid Hetty to sleep.— The dark red scar, just ou tbe orbital verge, rebuked me aa strongly as if it bad been a living voice. Dear child t How could I bave so forgotteu the needs of ber opeoing mind ? How could I have so failed to realize that while I waa abaorbed in my owu employ¬ ments, sbe must have something lo do ?
For several minutes I stood bending over ber. Theu going to the drawer in wbich hor wax doll waa laid, I unlocked it, and taking ont the beantifal effigy, placed it on tho pil¬ low beaide her. How sweet the two facea looked; tbe living and the inanimate. I gazed at tbem until my eyes were blinded by tears; and then went back to the aittiug- room, where I made another effort to resume my work. My haud bad grown a littlo stea¬ dier, but the heart was gone. For a very shorttime I eudeavored to force myaelf to keep on with my appoiuted task; but mind and body both diaaented so atrongly, that the gar¬ ments I bad hoped to complote were finally laid aaido, uot to be touched again until to¬ morrow.
As I was doing this, a sigh for my lost day passed sadly from my lipa. At this momeiit I heard Hetty's feel and voice; s he had awa¬ kened, and fiiiding Dolly by her aide, had forgotten all tbe paat, and waa as happy as a child could be.
" Dear, dear, sweet Dolly t" ahe was sing¬ ing as bUtbely as if grief had uever laid a finger npou her heart.
'" Oh, mamma t" ahe exclaimed, as sbe en¬ tered tbe sitting-room, " yon are so good to give me Dolly to play withj" and ahe came daucing to me, with her dewy Upa put up to miue for a kiss.
There was no rebuke on those precioua lips —oh no. That kiss waa lovea own beat ex¬ pression ; aud yet it stung me with remorse.
Hetty's trial was over, ber grief forgotteu. Bnt on my bosom was laid the burdeu of re¬ gret, and I could not throw it off. Her atate of disturbance had paaaed liko the moruing clond and the earthly dow ; but mine keK pulaing ou aud shadowing tbe bours tha^ might have passed iu cheerful work.
I counted lhat day Iuat, except for the lea¬ son it taught me; for whou I laid my aching bead upon its pillow at night, I could nol look back upou any aseful tbiug accomplished. There bad been fruitless efforts to do mauy things; but my restlesa state kept me flitting and changing, and my half-formed parposes wrouglit out no sure results.
