"While the American Army lay encampcd in a dcplorublo state of nakedness and starvation at Valley Forge, a Quaker named Potts, passing a secluded spot heard the voice of some ono in prayer.

" Ilush, my said my gentle mother, "do not weep shall see her." They carried me into hajrroom, (for I could not walk,) where she lay en her little white draped couoh, the victim of a raging brain fever.

All that dreary night, and tho ensuing day, I watched by the bedside of my sick sister, asking her in tones of entreaty to forgive me, but the fovered lips I pressed so often, did not answer me. She was delerious, and did not know or recognise any of tho friends around her bed. The last night of her sickness I was so weary with- constant watching, that my kind mother insisted on my retiring, telling me, as the accustomed good-night kiss won given, that Meeta was much better, and wo'd be much bettor in the morning. I was very weary, and soon the angel of sleep closed my aching eyes; but aht to what an awakening. Would Heaven I had no'er opened them on earth aguin. In my fevered dreams Meeta was ever by my side. Tho fever flush had left her white brow, and she wan well again.— And I was very happy now that she was with me again—happy alter such a night of terror. When I awoke the glftd sun was shining in at my window, and was quite high in the glorious blue sky. Startled by tho lateness of the hour I sprang from my bod and hurried on my clothes. Oh, how impatient was i to see my Meeta. In tho hall 1 met my mother. In answor to my eager inquiries, she told me that Meeta was better, much bettor. Then taking my hand, she said: " Ashamed of his father," thought he.— " And will my children hang their heads, also in shame ? No, no, that shall never be 1" BX MRS, L. A. SIOOURNEY, Where rock on rock I* piled, Where lordly oaks are clasped by graceful vines, And murmuring brooklets wander through the pines, And all la rude and wild ; At the hour of midnight, the man tfho had no children t*D throw around him a sphere ot bettor influence, was sitting at tho place of rendezvous for him whofte children had saved him, but ho waited long in vain. Then he said: Among the stories of the olden time which cannot be believed, but which it is sometimes entertaining and useful to road, is one that I am about to tell you. It is said that Jupiter whom the heathen called the father of their ' »ods, occasionally amused himself by wandering in disguise about the country, and looking upon the ways of men. Once, in an excursion of this kind, night overtook him in a solitary place, lleoontinuj od traveling, but found nosiiolter. At length, through the dimness ho descried two dwellings on opposit-3 sides of the road; one was large and lofty, the other lowly and rude. Approaching the spacious mansion, he said to himself, "A rich man must be the owner here; it will not incommode him to givo lodging to a stranger." So, he knockod at the door. Then a window suddenly opened, and a gruff voice inquirsd, " Who are you ? What do you want f " " I am a traveller, aud ask only a night's rest under your roof. It grows late, aud I am wcarv." The master of the house, holding up a light, surveyed him frout head to foot, l'crceiving that he wore coarse garments, and was not likely to have money in his pocket, ho roplied in the same harsh tones— " I cannot reccivo you. My chambers aro full of herbs and seeds, wliieli I have stored to dry. There is no room that you can have. Verily, if I were to give a night's lodging to all who ask it, I might as woll take the beggar's staff myself, and traverse the country." Then he shut the window with ngreat noise, nnd the stranger turned to tho little hut across tha way. Even before he had time to knock, the poor man opened the door, and iuvited him to come in. " It is dark," ho said, "you aro tired ; you must go no farther to-night."' The wife of the poor man welcomed him also, saying, " Be content, abide with us.— We havo not much to refresh you with, it is true ; but the bost that the house affords wo will give yon gladly with all our hearts," Rekindling her small fire, she put on some vegetables to cook, and went ana milked her goat the second time. With quick hand she spread the table, and the coarse fare, tasted Where leaps from tree to tree The graecful squirrel—where the wild bird sings Farewell to autumn, on departing wlugs.
