'Twes evening, and proud Isabella Earnest

II around showed she belond lo the ;imo
craticsl class ol lhl c il . Sim had sat for one
' hour,- gaiiing upon the throng that crowded
the stree'i, hen one passed who rnired his
'hat, and bending Id his body, pronounced
her name in a low, murmuring voice.
'Mr. Willmot,' murmured Isabella, as she
looked down to re-adjust a bracelet, her face
assuming thoughtiul expression. - 'what
pity be is t shoeiiisker. One who possesses
ucb a hsndsom Ince, such a graceful Ri(ure,
and is sopolihrd awl gentlemauiy m lus
manner, that he should be a shoemaker, 'tis
ridiculous.'
Another hourtie spent in deep meditation;
nd she wsa aroused b) lite servant, who an
nounced Mr. Willmot.'
Isabella wss rght( Jsmes Wilmot was very
hsndsome, abort black curls fell cround his
tail forehead, his eyes were darkly blue, and
his figure unobjectionable, fie took his seat
s though he hd been a millionaire instead of
the shoemaker; but Isabella was not at her
esse. In vain the belle ol B , tried to
entertain. An hour passed. ;
- 'Lady,' said James, after moment's pause,
4I come here on business mutely, and yet
let moment after moment pass and still men
ikm'il met. How ant we ar In moments of
enjoyment lo neglect that which Ije longs lo
our happiness more nearly. That 1 love you.
Isabella, you must know. 1 have never told
you so in words, butyoa must have read Hen
hundred time in my eyes, my actions, and in
my voice. These were spontaneous and be
yond control; the promptings ol a heeft which
is wholly yours. J know, in one point of
view, you are far above me, but you have
treated me so kiudly, it baa caused me !o
speak thus.' v.
' James ceased. ' -At first Isa ella's 'hesd
drooped, and a deep blush overspread
face; but, as he closed, her eyes flashed,
she exclaimed:
'And is it to ne that you address such Inn
gnegef" Do you suppose Isabella Eur nest
would condescend to marry a thoeroakerf
; J asnes sprang lo his feet, and sorrow a ud
astonishment were blended in his eyes.
"Tis enough, lady, if you say it,' and with
stiff how be left her.
As he hurried along the alreet he murmured:
Spurned me because I am e shoemaker!
6he lime a reams thai uiesnoemsker nosraon
ey. I csn be something more; yts, I will be
tin to-night,-- It would be sweet revenue.'
"James aaid a voice behind him, 'James,
re you not going to speak to me! Yon were
flying along at such a raind rale that bow
pale you ate! are you sickf'
'M'iry, my friend, how glad I am Ic see you!
you nave always been my friend. Why have

Jliry Wilson, why haashe condescended lo

'1 shall always be proud to be your friend,
What has happen!?.... Why do you talk so?

' 'Going away?', gasped she, 'when and
wnerer ,;
- 'When, to-nirht. Where I know not.'
' He then confided to her friendly bosom
troubles. How he waa going away, and when
be relumed lie would meet Ihtroud on their
own proud footing. ; - . -. ; s
When he bade her good bye, he feli be loved
her as a pure suier; aud she felt she loved bin)
something more, but he knew it not. .
When Isabella wss left alone the sprsng

Whs,t have 1 done? , I lo.-e him, end

After she bed continued her walk foran

BY POCHAHONTAS. A ROUT LUCK.
Henry Ward Beecher in recent lecture

psrl ihe ecret of what i called good luck end

videncc lo have an implacable spile against;
hem. bemoan in poverty to a wretched old

ever ran against them and for others.
"One with a good profession, lost Ins luck

burnt up bis luck by hot temper, which pro
voked all his employees to leave him. . Anoth

amaziog diligence at everything hut tin busi
ness,. Another, who steadily followed trade,
as steadily followed hi bottle. Another, who
was honest and constant at his work, erred uv
perpelusl Judgments, he lacked discretion.
Hundreds lose their luck by eniin.sing; oy
sanguine speculation; by trusting fraudulent
men, and by dishonest gains. A men never
has good luck who has a bad wile. I never
knew an early tising, hard working, prudent
men, careful of his esrnlngs, and strictly hon-
extt who complained of bad luck. A good
character, good habits and iron industry, are
impregnable to the assaults ol an tne in ium
fools ever dreamed ol. But when 1 see a tat

the forenoon, with his bands stuck into pock

The admiiable book of Bayne on "This
Christian Life, Social and Individual,'" liss the
following suggestive purngrapb in Hie chapter
on "Hie bono I l'roblem ol the Age."
"Christianity, avoiding anarchy on lheone4
hand and riespor.rin rn the older, sets tne
race on a path of unlimited advancement, ll
pionounces all men equal. In express terms,
the Christian revelation declares all notions
of the earth lo be of one blood, it pronounces
all men equally the subjects of one King; il
makes the value of a soul infinite, and shows
no difference between the worth of that of s
beggar and it at of a ptince. Look into the
stable at Bethlehem, on that higlii when crown
ed sage and bumble shepherd knelt by the
cradle of (list babe who was their common
King; do you not see, in that spectacle, llie
loud of snessellisl equality uniting all ranks,
and that making the regal purple and the
peasants' riisret faint and (emporsiy distinc
tions? Well -might Coleri!g6 say, that ihe
fnirei-t flower he ever saw climbing rounds
poor man's window, wss net to beaulilul in
his eyes ss the Bible which he saw lying with
in. If all classes, totsook (he gospel, one
might expect the poor, the hard toiling, the
despised, to cling to it. Whatever Christian
ity may have become in our churches and in
our limes, llie rrest class of the workers csn
And tu Us aspects no excuse for abandoning
itself, unless they csn show thai the churches
hove rewritten the Bible; unless they can al
lege tht it no longer exhibits the divine foiiu-
uerof Chiisiianuoiiy preaching io the poor,
compnnyiug with- publicans anil sinners; un
less they can si ow that it was ihe ssnctmned
usage of apostolic limes to honor ihe rich in
the Christian assemblage; unless, in one word
they can deny lhal the gospel holds forth to
every man the prospect of being a king and
priest to God."
