When Mr. Thornly reached hisoffice he found Frederick Well wait-ing to sco hint; who accosted hiniwith an air of constraint, not to savembarrassment, not at all remarka-ble, when we consider the awkwarderrand on which he came.

"1 heard of Miss Xeal's misfortunelast evening, sir; aud 1 assure youwith deep regret."

Ellen entered tho parlor in a rathperturbed state of mind; much as

she rejoiced at her escape, the couldnot but feel deeply Krieved at thisdiscovery of the unworttiuess ofhim, whom she had hitherto es-teemed so highly as to often re-proach herself that she could notlove him as he deserved.

The riches and honors of this lifemay, in a measure, conduce to ourhappiues, and relieve our temporalwants, but, ah, how small and fleet-ing they appear, when comparedwith the sweet privilege of approaching the mercy seat, there tobreathe forth our wants aud desiresto one who is ever waiting to bless.Do we feel that our trials aro peculiar, and that we must have sympa-thy? How painful to rehearse all toan earthly friend; yet we can go andtell Jesus with our hearts; he willunderstand us, though our lips besealed with sadness.

Falconer sighed, and his brow con-tracted with pain, as he looked afterher.

"Poor child! it is so hard to refuse her anvthinsr."

He was a pale young man, with athoughtful cast of countenance andearnest grey eyes; habitually re-served and prudent, he was accounted a sharp business man, and at thelime of his marriage, two years pre-vious, the old nieu predicted that hewould eventually become oue of thelargest capitalists in 11.

" Hang it all !" cried Edward, andtaking his hat he left the house.He had not gone ten steps, howeverbefore his resolution failed him, andhurrving to the nearest bank, hehasti'lv drew a check aud returnedhouie with the money. He foundhis wife iu her own room, with theirlittle Eddie on her lap ; the tracesof tears were fresh ou her face, audshe was singing to the baby in alowtone.

Falconer began to protest that bestood in need of neither dressing-gow- n

or slippers, but a reproachfulglance from Lou's blue eyes arrestedhis words. "Xot when 1 am goingto make them with mv own littlefingers?" she said, aud Edward wassubdued instanter.

The following week, Lou's moth-er, Mrs. Townsend, arrived, andwas affectionately welcomed by herdaughter and 6on-in-la- She wasa thoroughly sensible, reasonablewoman, with a deal of penetration,that seemed to divine things at aglance, aud was an acquisition toany household.

"Don't you think, Lou," she saidto her daughter oue day, when thelatter had, iu her usual coaxing,half-poutin- g style, been urging Ed-ward to some fresh extravagance,"that you may pusii your importu-nities just too far? Mr. Falconerlooks very much perplexed aud wor-ried to-da- y, I think."

" Oh, Edward is the dearest, mostamiable of men."

"Yes, Lou, but for the very thatyour husband is amiable and indul-gent to a fault, you should bo mer-ciful, and not press him too far.Xow, I consider that baby's cloak
