Ah! you well may lowly bow In aony

kissed a wee, weak, trembling thing,
and laid it In your bosom. Very beau,
tiful, pure, and good hadbhe over been,
that bweot A'-ico .Morton, who was lion

and so Alieo wiped them nil away l'ro.n
ihe pale check, though she could led put
them away from her heart.
And day by day Alico Imped and
trusted she was schooling herself lo grow
iu rcalitv us cold, and still, and lifeless
iis her outward appearance seemed to
indicate. Even to her bright, beautiful
boy she whispered but few words ol tctl
(lernest, and few kisses of burning lovo
were pressed on his ro-y cheek, save
when ho was folded in the arms of sleep,
nnd when, in night' stillness und dark
hes, she crept from her own !eefless
but not teatles pillow, to pray beside
her boy. (

him one day, "Alice is looking like deftth

not un

And then a mice, low almost as wo
man' tone, replied. Alico heeded not
the words, for that voice, it uuroly had
haunted her iu tier dreams; il had said
peace," when thero was no peace, and
ohl how ttthrilUd and gladdened., tho
(die know not why, or how. A young
man, very many year younger than
Mr. Lisping, arosq as she entered, and
Alieo nl moat btartod to find an entire
btranger.
He was of slight, graceful figure, and
a wurm, sunny fsrmlo played over hi
palo fair face. 1Ii$',oys darkly blue
and in their depths lay a world of un
spoken thought; und uu tho high white
brow, around wljich hung a wreath of
dark, wrtvy tlaxen hair. That gentle,
subdued manner, nnd soft, sweet ex-
prmiuri won bcarls ut onco. Little
Merlon was ut-his side, and already the
new tutor had his nrm around tho child
who was gazing at his new found friond
with a look of innocent trust, such n
had never rested hi hi dark eyes be
fore. How (juiel.ly even tbo hrnallest
childs knows who w ill lovo or who re
pulse them.
Think you Alice's prayer, that night,
wu not 'mingled with many a word of
gratitude, many u throb of joy that
her child had the friends he needed?
How sweet would bo her tilsk now, with
a btion rer mind und u belter soul to
eutiimcl and lis!!, her. ' How huppY
.MertJ t und ho w ould be culling flowers
with nidi a guide.
And si i hey were fr weeks and
months. .Terton becoming less rouloss
and impatient. under restraint, yet hap
py a tue uueiigcd bird und busy us tho
boo. Alice's e.icek each day growing
brighter and fuller; her dark ha.td eye
had caught the light from .hor child's,
only il glowed deeper und brighter, and

g, tlid hoar. would glide unhold od
'i'liO tolling of iiieiditnees ill his
life or travel", how in some wild wilder
ness h- would think of such a home as
this, or, catching a word from her lips,
he would go on as it ho spoke her
thoughts for her. How could Alieo help
wondering bow ho had gained sifh an
insight i n ti her bi lden feelings where
f und tho key to unlock the most secret
spring? Where found those glowing,
impassioned Words echoing in her own
bo.iom. Nay, ho had not feuhd her,
'twas onlv from his own noble, gifted
soul, recking not how deep, and true,
and responsive was each word.
Aud week and months again, passed,
but Iho light had begun to wane in
Alice's eyes, tho glow lo depart from her
cheek, and her step was more noiseless
and slow. In a lone, secluded hamber,
sho oil knelt and wrested with her own
heart, und with the angel that would
notblovs her, by giving power to over
come. Hut spring came w ith its birds
