CIIAPTKK I.
On tlic bend of a pleasant road, not
far from a mall but thririn villno in
one of the Eastern States, tlicro rtood
Homo yarn ago, a small but neat cottage,
with green blinds and ivy-covcroJ
porch.
It stood back frm the road, and was
but out from its dust and noiso by a
luxuriant bedo of well-trained oranjo
ahrub. The haded garden walks wero
laid out with unruryin reularityhat
Marked tlio whole premises.
Winding witli many a graceful turn,
thev led the visitor among oval flower
Iwifs; artificial ponds and k had od ar
Ioph ; erery where the samo neatness
and good Ustc prevailed, and told, even
to tho most cMsnal observer, that tbo
propriotor could wot bo otherwise than
educated, intelligent and wealthy.
And Jlr.X'layvil!,tli owner of this
iateful refidence, josrtefod all theso
fiualifuations nay, even more. To
theso wcro united bcnevolen-.c, Chris
tian Philanthrop, unaffected goodness
of heart. Tho stranger and the bouse
le-s wanderer ever found a welcome at
Iiis d'Hir ; and tho needy were never
turned away unsatisfied.
Mr. Clayvillo was wealthy. In tho
bcighl of inercantüo pronporitj bo bal
retired from business, and purchased
the neat cottagn near tho small YÜlago.
While jirepnring to bettle down in the
full enjoyment of lifo, his beloved wife
nnd companion vim taken from him ns
speedily ns a trembling dew-drop is cx
baled before tho morning sun.
JlusincHs now bora mo more irksomo
than before, and with hU only child,
Ellon, lie lived almost in a bermit-liko
ricclunion.
Xot that bo bad suddenly becomo a
n misanthropist, but this recent unlock
ed lor bereavement bad partially do
Btroyod bis rclisb forsticicty.
This melaucholy aoon woro nwa,
liowever, aod bo again appeared occa
sionly among bis ft Sends and rustic
neighbors , chatting freely with them,
and even consulting thorn in tho laying
out of Iiis grounds around bis cottage.
His time was devoted to tbocaro and
education of bis daughter, who being
un only child, was of eourso petted and
humored by an Indulgent parent.
Ono altcrnoou Mr. Cluyvillo satin

his daughter was ncara inrougn tno
hall.
Many said that Ellen was beautiful :
and these pcoplo spoko the truth. Her
dark hair hanging in ringlets over her
roundod checks, and br still darker
ccs pctring from beneath that wreath
ol curls, won many a near., and awa
kened many thrills of unpokon lovo
Then sbo was beautiful: and bad such
"winning ways that it was impossible
not to lovo her.
Truo sho was v little self-willed: bu
. bor indulgent father good naturedly let
bcr bavo her own way, and nmiicd away
her peevishness, till it verged into tears
and Icises of kindness.
'Father," said she, as sho entered tho
npartmcnt, ''we bavo n new schoolmast

'Hut, Nelly, let not that trouble you
in tho least," replied bcr lather with ono
of bis sweetest smiles. "You need not
peak to him or look at him; bebides
our maid will not bavo to labor anr
harder for tbo addition of a now board

that bo might."
"I know I shan't like him ; and I wil
let him Lnow that I do not," said tho
ocauiy nan pouiing.
AVclI, well," continued tho old gen
tlcman, "you noed not liko him wllhou
you bavo a mind to ; but I am told that

tako charge of our school. It may bo

you can recite to him Instead of mo.
Ellen did not answer. 'I hero was
something in her father's manner, wbilo
speaking, that completely puzzled her.
Sho could not solve it, and for tho tirst
timo in bor life, sho was unablo to un
destand bis meaning by bis words.
'Well. Nelly, we will drop the sub
ject, lest somo ono should appear o nd
susprisous in a family quarrel. Lot tho
first impressions with Air. Evans, tho
now teacher, bo good ones ; otberwiso
wo may havo to etrivo a long timo to
make up for our imprudenco.
While thoy Avcro speaking tho ser
vant announced ilr. Evans. Ho had
como to perfect arrangements, and to
tako up his abodo with them.
'I am clad to sco you again," said
Mr. Clayvillo, rising and taking tho ex
tended hand of the new comer.
Mr. Evans, this is my daughter, EI
len," bo continued, turning and intro
ducing him to bis child.
Ellen welcomed bun with a sweet
smile, although a short time before sho
had declared that tho would not liko
him. In fact, sho bad nearly forgotton
that sho had said so ; nnd was half try
ing to forget it altogether.
Tho new teacher wag between twenty
and twenty-tiro years of nge, rather
slim, but gracefully proportioned, with
deep, earnest eyes, und an intelligent
look stamped on his finely formed fea
ture.
Ho was dressed plainly, though neat
ly, and bis hat, though not in tho cx
tremo of the latest fashion, was never
theless carefully brushed and ptesented
a glossy appearance.
jJoro than this, thero was a noble
ness visiblo in alibis actions ami words
that is seldom found berfoath so plain an
exterior. It was seen in tho manly
bearing, tho closed lips and sparkling
eyes.
Ellen was completely captivated with
Howard Evans' -general appearance,
und surprised at bis lolly dignity and
tolishcd manners. And at the lea ta
ble she could but notice bis perfect case
and manifold m-complL-dnnci'is". Thero
was such ft higU-sotilcd superiority in
us address that her ieclmgs ot hato
soon gavo way to those of respect.
As Ellen bade her father a parting
goodnight, sho said with a quiet smile:
"I urn atraul I cannot hato JMr. hvuns
be is so superior in mind nnd heart."
31 r. Clayvillo smiled in return and
ado her a happy good night. Mean
wbilo ns they ascend Iho stairway of
reams, wo will cut tho leaves ot the
next chapter.
CHATTE II II:
Nearly ni x months had passed away
and Howard Evans was still boarding
at tho country seat of Mr. Clayvillo.
ho father appeared to ndr.uro the
achool master more and moro as the
weeks flew by. His society gavo the
old gedlloman much pleasure, and tho
ong evenings wcro spent in solving
lifllcult problem, or translating nn ob
euro seuteneo from a foreign language
for ttio new teacher was thoroughly
versed in classical literaturo or cnga
god in tho lighter amusement of play
in fhrus.
Ho was also fast getting Initialed in
to tho good graces of the daughter; for
truo refinement will ever find its way
into every heart.
J'JIIon was belter pleased wiiii iuin
ho moro she saw of him, until his ab
sence began to croato an apparent void
in tho littlo family circle hether It
was to follow tho cxamnlo ol her lather
in thus loving Howard Evans, or mere-
y to cheer bis lonely hours, wo canuot
tell: l.crhans neither.
Wo only know that sho walked part
or tno way to meet mm as no returned
at night trom school, nnd then ho al
ways happened to navo a nice boquot,
or an cvergroen wreath to weave in the
plaits of Iter dark hair."
a. a a .
At such times no always met her
with a cordial smile, and talked so
pleasantly to her that sho could not
licln lovinc him; Indeed, sho would
havo considered it a great privilego to
havo exchanged tho quiet ot her homo
for tho noiso and uustlo of tho school
room.
And Howard noliced with pleasure
that bcr countcnanco vras delighted
when ho proposed a ramblo far away
down tho sloping lawn, or a quiet stroll
through tho garden. Mio would unhes
itatingly tako tho proffered arm, and
walk besitlo her friend In tho full enjoy
ment of tho hour.
At tho foot of tho lawn they would
listen to tho murmur of tho stream,
nnd express n deeper meaninir by si
lenco than they could by words. In
the arbor thoy would enjoy tho bliss o
an interchange of feelings closely nllic
to earnest lovo.
Howard would gather flowers for her
and form them into a book of Mneero
lovo, wbilo each bud was a leaf, on which
wcro written words ol indclliblo affec
lion.
Still at such times ho would not act
tho part of tho sickly sentimentalist
What ho felt ho communicated to her
and in return reccivod tho undisguisei
stato of her feelings,
And they wcro both surprised nt tho
harmony ot thought and feeling which
existed between them. Jfo talked as
simply yet uaearnectly as if he had been
her brother,
When tho dews begun to trlistoti on
tho long blades of trrass, and tho miiwio
of tho stream was inaudible, they would
seek their pathway homeward in tho
lull enjoyment or blissful love.
Did not Mr. Clayvillo soo all this ?
Ah I this nutrition va rnnnof niiowor

but ho certainly never seemed in bolter
spirits, than when witnessing thoovi
deneo ot their mutual attachment. He
dreamed longer iu his high-backed
chair, tho scenes of early days camo up
before his view and linked tho present

CHAPTER III.
Tho autumn with its golden fruits
and golden tints, had come and yellow
leaves wero already strewing tho paths
with a 3'cllow mantlo.
Tho old year was already preparing
to die, an 1 was laying down its exit for
tho advent of tho new. Tho rich dra
pery of green that ha! covered tho for
est, slowly fadod beforo tho frost of tho
long autumnal nights; tstill tho lovo in
tho hearts of Howard and Ellen was
warm and bright ns on tho delightful
summer evening when their affections
wcro mutually interchanged. They had
been betrothed for somo time, and wero
looking forward to tho first day of the
no w year as tho ono which should cele
brato their nuptial and usher in the
wedding morn.
Tho old man would dream now long
er than before, with his eves half clos
odai d tho same sweet smilo played up
on his features. It was during ono of
thoso noonday reveries, that bo was
roused to consciousness by tho entrance
of Howard.
Ho started rather abruptly from his
chair, but as bis eyes fell upon tbcyoung
man ho resumed his easy chair and
opened the conversation by a few com
mon ptaco remarks. These wcro grad
ually uroken off until a silencoof some
moments took place, when 1 Toward in a
firm, though agitated tono of voice
said I como Mr. Clayil!e, to claim
your daughter's hand, with the nssu
ranco that I havo won her heart, can
you, with all tho affection that is felt to
;ui only child, consent to resign her in
to my keeping ? I do not otter wealth
no o a a
as an inducement to win your daugh
ter's love; but 1 am frank to confess
that I oiler myself alone. Have 1 your
consent to claim her ns my bride.
The young man awaited a reply.
Mr. Clawillo arn.se and left tho room
without saving a word. In a moment
reappeared with his daughter by his
ido. As ho heard tho confession of
mutual lov4?, bo gatVbis dearest' treas
ure into tko guardianship of her lover.
A short time alter tho first day ot the
newyear camo round, and brought the
apparel of the btidal morn.
Aller tho ceremony had been per
formed, Howard confessed to bis wife
that he had been deceiving her and
present to her view a check often thou
sand dollars one-half of tho amount
of his wealth I He bad feigned pover
ty to gain riches of heart.
jlr. Clayvillo again clasped tho hand
of the young man, but ho did not speak
while hlleii looked up through tears ot
joy and blessed her kind husband with
an overflowing heart.
The Great Awakening.
The religious revivals of Jonathan
'd wards' timo have been known ever
oincc as tho "great awakening." But, bo
general is the revival influence, nt tho
ucsent time, that tho operations of
livino graco iu that early day are
clipsed by a more brilliant and more
widely-diffused light from heaven. In
tho time of Edwards, and to a greater
or less extent incolhat timo, revivals of
religion have been accompanied with
moro or less of boisterous excitement
which tended, occasionally, to prevent
calm and sensible thinkers from embra
cing tho great truths which wero lost to
sight and to bearing in tho general hub
bub. A (lill'ercnt stato ot things now
exists. Tho masses of tho people, ev
erywhere, now meet together with u
dcsiro to seek in a quiet, earnest man
ner that spiritual good which is given
reedy to thoso who sincerely ip?U it,
This atate of things, universally, nocms

dividuals, communities and nations, by

a creed or a set of doctrines, anything
less than divine, received such an impo
tus nnd so groat success, as the doc
trines of tho christian vollgion aro now

A Touching Incident
Tho Columbus correspondent of tbo

of which I will try to givo the' rentiers

cars muco mere was sent to inai insti

ong term of years, on the charge ot
turghtry, on old Polish exile; an old
man who bail fought bravely for his
country ami liberty. In tlii-j land of
strangers, ami with no friends, the old
man had never for a moment entertain-
I the idea of release, and patiently
was toiling through his weary months.
Some facts have recently, come to light,
m . . . . .a a
as l hear tho rumor, showing that the
old man was not guilty of tho crimo
charged upon him. At nny rate, tho
lOVcrnor decided upon his pardon; and
Saturday afternoon, (iov. Chuso's daugh

eighteen summers and wlvxla her per

learn that Thomas Washington Smith,
who was acquitted of tho murder ol
Eichard Carter, on tho ground ol insan-
ty at tho time ot tho commission ol the

condition is a source of much regret to
his friends.

A "Eook of Mormon" Two Hundred

Thero is a curious coincidence in ma
ny points between that modern litcrar)
imposture Iho "JJoolc ot .Mormon
and ft book of simlar name also an i:n
posture -published in Paris two centu
ries sinco. A certain M. do Montmcr
offended by hi wit and lotii o a number
of tho literati of Paris. In revenge
they part ially transposed his name, call

to drivo from a f jreek word signifying
ascarebrow. Satirical books wero pub
lished under this name, among others a
profes.seifS olnmo of bin Morks a r.al
'JJook of Mormon." This book hoaxed
many into tho belief of its genuineness
Elko the modern. "Book," it advocated
Polygamy, and quoted Scripture in sup,
port of its theory. "Did not tho wisest
of all men entertain seven hundred wives
and threo hundred concubines?" The
French "Mormon," liko his modern fol
lowers in Utah, abolished a religious
priesthood and gavo over tho church lb
secular rule . Ho "debased a Jtclivious
Ibshop lor meddling with his cratt,
saying ho himself was ii Secular Bish

scmblanco. In tho modem "Book of
Mormon" thero aro twenty-four plates
for tho "Book of Ether." Twenty four
plates wcro given by Alma to his son
llelaman. In tho "Book of Mosiah,"
twenty-four plates of gold aro brought
from tho wilderness. In the French
book thero is an imaginary cataloguo of
Ihe works ol the imaginary ".uormon,
which also numbers twenty four. Did

short lime, by another turn in tho wheel
of fortune, he was thrown into the
young lady's company, ami made her
acquaintance. By rapid steps the ac
quaintance ripened into friendship, then

ns may be suspected, ended in a wed-
