Some people cannot bear pain...; But: it was not that, for Stella was very brave.

Ah, I shall have to tell you I' For, what is more terrible .tfiah, a defitist’s chair,, or worse than a Bto,rm at apie-nic? It was, just this: Stella, couldnot bear sudden good• fortune. . Just aslong as Stella’s father ’Was toler-' ably well off,” and'Stella had all, she really' needed, without any care herself as to where it eame from, she was a very , nice; sort of a little > girl—kind and gentle ak home ahd at school; glad to please‘ others,’ and very easily pleased herself. But; when it became known'through the papers that] fortunate Mr. Saxton had from’ a grand spe culation, just been made the happy posses sor of one hundred thousand dollars, then* it was that little teh-year-old Stella showed that there was something she could not bear. I' don’t' -know in bow .many ways she showed it—how many unheard of things, she wanted,,at .johee ;, how her mother was teased for this and that from morning till night. But tOjteMryou one way iu which she shoiv'edM fc*; and When you read * about it, won’t you just stop anfi think, you Mary, Sukm, fthd'Buly, ahd : flatly, whether you ,ever saw. any one who, like Stella could not hear sudden good fortune. I hope it is not youj. though I should like to have you haye,the good,fortune, especially if you bore’it like Stella's parents, or even her brother Tom; forthey went right along, just as if nothing had happened.- ' Stella had among her schoolmates a “ very special friend.” It was Yiola Crystal. I don’t kPftW rwhether.shef was named; Yiola when she was born because something) in her blue eyes told ,of the blossom that waS tb unfold from the pre cious bud. Bh't it had hnfolded in rare beauty, and every .one.loved .Viola. \ Every one but Dame Fortune. 'V'iola never slept on a Led of roses. - Hhi* (father died when she was only three years old, and her moth er had struggled hafd ’ld live, apparently, as nicely as Bhe' ! Wd’ i when.*'E& was living. Yet she did, ,j$ ;and.Viola ..went to a good school, and played as well oui the. piano, as Stella, and read much better, and'found time to be very obliging, aro i pn t d i her. She and Stella had walked, and rode, and tlept together. But now there came a change. She* could’ hardly believeit; but Stella was growing cold towards her. She mad notbeento see her for weeks,. and there was something in her manner which, al though Viola SPHldj not. define it, made her still feel very unhappy. Viola’s dresses looked so very plain now to Stella! fief,plain ruffles and linen ban'ds were so different from Stella’ soft, “real” lace! Her hat was not just in style; and, altogether, she thought she would not ask her t||tß) @r§^ # planed for her coming birthday. It; was curious, .but Viola bad heard nothing about the party until she trod upon its heels in this .MSJrO ope after noon, as she sat alone in her little ,room, after, school had closed, “Perhaps I am foolish, aftenallj Stella. . She hasn’t really said or done anything that I can call jjpkind. I will go afid see,her to-night, and spendthe evening; as I use'd tb do." (Stella ri c-ived her at the door herself, as she rang the door bell; but although with a smile and pleasant word, there was evident em barrassment: Viola muslin frocK, with no ornament but, a blue bow at the throat; and Stelialodked ele bracelets, ana chain. Viola hardly thought of this, as ■fifidi'tflbS'dflobk’ingtdt some new books in a handsome case, in Stella’s room, a present from her father ;iwben pretty soon tljfetfoor thell rang, apd iin a. moment Bridget, game up to say to Miss Estelle that Gabrielle Jflastob was in the parlor. “ I will understand. ~‘ T-h@h *'ahdth'ef ring at the THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1868. door ; and this time it was Grace Floy, a cousin of Viola’s, and a friend of both. The third time the hell rang; and then Stella said, — “ You mast come down to the parlor with me—won’t you Yiola ?” “Is any one blSe to-bOhere ?■ Did you ex pect Grace ?” Yiola asked, a little hurriedly, as Stella’s annoyed.look,andiwaB herself 6ff hfer giia¥d J “ Yes, there are a few girls coming in to night’; 'I suppose I ought to go down now.

There are yet in the title- deed to a genuine Christian inheritance which are equally precious with the one just quoted. Look at this one—“you who are kept by the power of God, through faith unto salvation.” This affirms that the be liever—hot the false professor—is held fast by the almighty arm. The final salvation of every Christian depends ultimately, not on his own strength which is weakness, nor on his own merit which is as worthless as “ Confederate” money, but on the ever lasting and unchangeable grace of God. It is not my promise that secures meto Christ; it is Christ’s precious and powerful promise unto me. The only reason why the “ saints persevere” is that the adorable Jesus perse veres in saving them. • We cannot go over all, the clauseadn, the Christian title. “ This is the Father’s will that of'all which He hath given me LsteouM lose nothing.”' What a declaration that'is !* shall any pluck them out p,f;my' haqd.” “ I Anow whom l have believed,.an,d that] he,-is.able; to [keep that which I have, committed'.to him; until; that day.” .

The earli er and the more~thoroughly this lesson is learnt' tfie better. A home-bred 'yStifh, growing up in the light of parental ladniira tion, with evefvttinff to foster h ! is vanity and self-esteem,as^aurprisfdjto find, amt# ten unwilling toa'cknbwlddge, the superior ity of other people. But he is compelled to learn his .Own disregarded, and he- is made to cut a sorry figure, uu,l|l^il^l% on and he feels that he kndws nothing. ‘ , When a young man has thoroughly com prehended tbie fact'lliatf. fiii 3 apd,th r at, Intrinsically, he is but ’of little, value, thenextlesson lsthat theworldcares nothing, ahputhim. He|s iid man’s, overwhelming admiration : neither petted by the one sex, nor 6nvi4,(ilbyl,thej omt, himself He will not be noticed till he becomes noticea ble; he will not become noticeable until he does something to prove that he is of some use to society. iNo recommendations or introduction will give him this, or ought to give him this; he must do something to bo recognized as somebody. The next lesson is that of patience. A man must learn to wait as well as to work, and to be content with those means of ad vancement in life which he may nse with integrity and honor. Patience is one of the most difficult lessons to learn. It is na turals for the mind to look fdr immediate re sults. * Xiet this, then, be understood at stairtito jf: that the patient conquest Of 'difficulties' which* rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise iS hot only essential in securirig’th'e’succeSS'whicli. a youhg man seeksih life,'but essential also tO'tnat preparation of the mind'‘"requisite fir tho I ' enjoyinent of' success, ’and for re taining-'it 'whenf gained.
