    Woom of y ontta, and there was a nervous anxluty
and restlefmncBS about her which, showed me
how much depended on her success. The work
she was then about was painting In water colors
a btinch of azaleas from natural flowers, uiid
perfect, Indeed, was her copying.
Wo took leave ot Mis Williams with a pro
mise of soon nofrinir Iter again, and found wait
lng at our hotol Mr. Hindon, an eminent copper
plate eugravrr, who had first sugeested to us
Mary's capabilities for the art about which we
had been enueavoring to learn Bomrthtng. .
"Mr. Norion wrote me word 1bat you were
here, and I bave colled to sec if I can be of any
service," be said, after the tlrst ereetityjH.
"Indeed you can," I replied, "of the grea'et.
and I wonder I never thought of you before."
Ho, alter relating our morning's exploration.
I asked him how long it would be before a girl
could earn a living, if she proved capable of the
work, and If 11 were remunerative.
"My own experience for I was, at one time,
a woo l engraver-ls, that It brings a sure return
for all the time and trouble open t in acquiring
the art. If a twelvemonth Is consumed in
li-aruing it, the second year shoald be devoted
to practice, but vet receiving some reward for
work, whioh could scarcely be expected to be
rery remunerative, but perhaps as much so as
it would deserve; and in the third year the
lt-arner might reasonably cahulato upon main
taining herself, if that is what is desired. 1 can
assure you, that in America many hundreds of
young women do support themselves entirely
by the art, aud make even superior marriage
to what they would if left to veeetate in idlp
ness. Do you de? Ign to apprentice Miss Miry
to a wood engraver, or to take the chance ot her
instruction at the school V .
"I scarcely know," I replied. "I am ac
quainted only with so much as I have heard
this morning. In what way could she be ap
prenticed r" ,
"Konie wood engravers require a premium,
and the pupils are bound for tw, three, or four
years, receiving during that time a small re
turn of the money paid in salary. Others ac
cept no premium, but then the term is for a
longer period, and there is no pay beyond the
board received."
"Msmma, I should prefer to go to the School
of Art," said Mary, twitching my sleeve.
"But where could you live, child f" I asked
a thought which till that moment bad not oc
curred to me.
Mr. Hindon came to her rescue.
"Is Miss Janet also going to study?"
I was on the point of answering, but Janet
said :
"I should so like to take some lessons in
modelling, mamma."
"Hut to what purpose, Janpt?"
The reply did not come before Mr. Hindon
spoke:
"I wonder there are not more lady modellers.
I believe there are but few, and certainly their
services might be called tor in modelling groups
lor jewellers, lor porcelaiu and bi?quet manu
facturers, and lor decorutions generally; at
least, this is the useful employment of the art;
and although, if I were now to commence to
learn some new accomplishment, I could not
say bow I could get employment, yet the want
ot such intormation would not keep me from
acquiring it. How to use it profitably would
come afterwards; so by all means become a
modeller, if mamma and papa permit it."
"But where could they live ?" I asked, almost
bewildered.
"You have only to advertise in the Times,"1
said our friend; "all your wants will be readily
supplied." Aud he took out his pencil, aud,
after thinking for a moment, rapidly wrote on a
scrap of, paper lying on the table:
"Board wanted in a private family, or with a
widow lady not taking other boarders, for two
youug ladies pursuing their studies through the
day. Terms to be moderate, but remunerative.
Keterences exchanged. Adurea X. II., No. 119
Elision bquare."
"I have appended my own address," said he,
"which will save you a little trouble. And now
I am come to ask you to take up your abode at
id V house while you remain in town.' I am an
old bachelor, as you know, but my sister returns
from Scotland this evening, and she, I am sure,
will be delighted to welcome you."
It was a cordial invitation this, which I
scarcely liked to decline, but not knowinir how
long we ruiaht be detained in town, I said, as
geutly as I could, for I felt I was on tender
ground, that we scarcely knew our own move
ments, and for the present would prefer some
apartments close to his' neighborhood. This
matter he said he would look into before he saw
us again.
Upon hi? leaving, letters were written home,
in which Janet's desire was expressed to her
lather. Then, having dined, the evening came,
and with it Richard, who had promised to
accompany us to the Polytechnic. Of course,
he was eager to learn the result of our day's
work, anu having heard it, very patronizingly
Jutted Janet on the back, saying: "After all,
anet, it is a modeller of clay, instead of
dresses, caps, and bonnets. I thought you,.
would never como flown to tuat."
'There is no 'coming down' at all," she in
dignantly replied. "I am not going to be model
ling all day and every day; and I really do wish
to learn uiillinery, mamma."
"But how would workine in clay suit for
handling delicate gauze and fringe and lace?"
I asked."
"Ttie gentleman who showed us over ths
school at Kensington said that the clay, far from
making the hands rough, made them very soft;
so I don't suppose they would be injured lor
needlework."
"This may be," I replied, "but my maxim is,
One thing at a time, and that thing well done,'
is the treat secret of despatch."
The nest day Miss Hindon called, and before
.evening we were settled in Inexpensive but com
fortable lodgines lor a week. With the morn
ing came letters to us all. Arthur had given
me permission to act as I liked about Mary aad
Jnnet.
"You always get the best of me, Polly," he
wrote, "aud I can safely trust to your judgment,
only what you have to do, let it be quickly done,
fnr Alice seems unwell, at least she mopes a
great deal, but that U because you are all absent,
J imnoine."
The letter eave me creat concern. I, there
fore, decided to conclude all my arrangement
aa anpprtilv as nossible and return home. We
hurt in unit lor rcnlies to the advertisement Mr.
Hindon hud inserted. These came in due time,
and from a lady whose very young daughter was
a student in the elementary class at Queen
Square. The lady, Mrs. Down, was not entirely
imL-nnan tn nnr" friends, her husband having
been an engraver, who had left her some small
tvonnu nf anhKisteriei" which she was devoting
to the education of her onlv child, bhe herself
PHrnmcr occasionally considerable sums as a
designer for paper stainers and also for calico
printers. I was somewhat astonished at this ripening for
women's emnliivment. and verv much more so
when she told me she thoueht of elving up this
somewhat uncertain sourcu of emolument for
one which caid better, that of finishing photo-
pr-mris in the stvle of miniature Dalntinsr. She
had been taught the art in early life, aud bad
constuntlv Dractised It as an amusement, bo that
tae ability to excel in it had never from disuse
slipped through her fingers.
I wa much Dleased to find one who with all
her acouremeuts seemed so retiring. She was.
Hstheii.-h "sure of herself." and knew
that the power in her fingers' ends was equal to
that of Aladdin's lamp, always provided, as Bhe
remarked, that she "kept her health." 8o alter
all arrangements had been made for their
attending as pupils at the School of Art, I left
my darlings in her care, with fervent prayer
that Uod would keep them In Ills bands.
Our arrangements had left me with very little
nine to can on the Armstrongs, men's most par
ticular friends, and also upon Mrs. Reed, who
proiessea to take care ot mm.
To the Armstrongs
I made merely a cere
monious call. I could do no other without in
fringing the law which Richard bad laid down
as regarded silence upon his Bisters' avocations
With Mrs. Reed I had a loner conversation
Everything connected with my boy was of the
highest interest to me. In the end. I fathered
from the good lady's desultory talk that Richard
w not so steady as he was when be first came
to London.
" I do not think he is among the society he

ought to be with. You see, ma'am, that Rich
ard is a well-educated youth, and with very su
perior manners; and although his employers
ate well-to-do people, yet their trade is rather
rough, and some of the young men ate a queer
lot.'-
"But,"I remarked, " Richard must Inarn to
walk before he runs, and it is all uphill work
vet. If he has suporior manners and education,
and among rough people, I do not see that he
should become rough alo."
" I think association goes a great way towards
foimlng a youth's habits. 1 do not say charac
ter, lor that, it Is to be hoped, is a matter of
principle, or ought to be," observed Mrs. Beed.
"I do not perceive the roughness you speak
of," I remarked. , -
"I do not mean entirely that; but Mr. Richard
likes to go often to places of amusement, and
much oltencr he is kept very late at his business,
sometimes till 11 or 12 at uiebt, and all this
does not tei.d to make a youth more refined, or,
in my opinion, a better man, f often wish that
you were living near, so that he could be nioro
under your care. ' ,
It Was as if I had suddenly received a heavy
blow, and I Bat stupefied, yet listening to the
old lady with my mind 60 disturbed that I did
not cveu take in the sense of all she was saying.
That he might be fond of amusement was
natural, but frequent late hours I did not un
derstand. It was ruin. At this moment Rich
ard came In, expecting that I had arrived. His
joyous face was at once overcast at seeing the
gravity oi mine.
"What is it, mother?" he asked, In alarm.
Mrs. Reed got up and lelt the room.
"I have been Inquiriug all about your hablU,
Richard, and am vexed that you should be kept
so lute in business. It is not usual, is it?"
The oonsciencc-stricken boy colored up to his
temples, and in a moment became ashy pale.
"I am sometimes late," he muttered, and,
taking up bis bat, said, "I am in a desperate
burry, and have only a tew moments to spare."
"And those, Richard, you must give to me.
My boy, with whom are you ? Where do you
go? Do not think Mrs. Reed has willingly told
me all this; but 1 have a right to know all."
I took hold of bis hand and drew him down
on a chair near me, and said:
"Richard, I am your mother, and there is no
one on earth so much your friend. Tell me, my
boy, who are your companions, and where you
spend your evenings. I will not blame you; it
may be only outward circumstances and uot
vice which is leading you astray. If I can help
you, I will."
Poor Richard 1 Shall I ever forget how the
tears coursed each other down his cheek ? And
yet not a imi-clo oi bis face moved, and but for
those tears he seemed turned to stone. I drew
my chair still nearer to him and luid his head
ou my shoulder, aud then I kissed him again
and again. Presently he told me all his woe;
for to a youth not hardened in crime these early
troubles were to him as bitter perhaps as any
sorrow of his al'ter-li le. He related to me how
some gay companions bad seduced him to the
billiurd-taole, where ho played almost nightly,
and which bad lelt him without resources. "tiveu
his watch and pretty breast-pin were gone.
"And what, my boy, could be the end of this
but disnone-ty ?"
"No, no. mother ! a hundred times no 1''
"But how coull you carry this ou, Richard,
without some such end ?"
There was hesitation for a moment. Pre
sently, as was parting his hair oft his lorehead,
"I should have gone "to sea,'' ho almost whis
pered. I shook from head to toot, and did not speak.
The boy lelt my emotion, suddenly sot up, and,
looking me iu the face, Khouted, "What have 1
done?' Mrs. Reed 1 Mrs. Reed!" But no Mrs.
Reed came. He rushed out of the room aud re
turned in a moment wica a glass of water, for,
though I had not lot my senses, I had so tar
fainted that I looked an image of death. For
the moment I was alarmed; the sensation was
new to me. but the cold water Richard was
forcing into my lips, and the cold air from the
winuow suddenly thrown open, revived me.
Then it was that the tears raiued down my boy's
cneeits. tie aueciea at my leet, ne ruDDoa my
hands; in his distraction he would have pro
mised did promise everything.
To think ot leaving for a lew hours was im
possible; and Mrs. Reed having returned from
her short walk, 1 hastily made some arrange
ments lor the night, sent a messenger with a
note to Richard's employers, and then he and I,
after an hour had elapsed, went out. and in an
open field near the house we again talked the
matter over. Kicbard was "determined nothing
should ever tempt him to visit a billiard room
again no, nothing."
"it is a rash promie, tticuaru, and one you
will not be able to keep."
"Mamma, do you think 1 nave no strength of
mind ?"
"No more than I have, or any one else, when
to do a good action azainst a pleasant tempta
tion is in question. Prayer only will give you
this strength, and frequently boys forget prayers
wnen t.nev leave nome."
I looked in his lace, which the telltale blush
had overspread.
When I am gone, Richard " I continued, "all
yotir promises will be as brittle as glass; all
your temptations, strong as a magnet to a nee
dle, will draw you within their mtiuence."
"Mamma, you idiuk naraiy oi me. i aia not
know I was so very bad, or that you thought me
bo," he saia, reproachfully.
'Kicbard, 1 IhiiiK. no naraer or you tuan oi
mvselt. At vour age I did not gamble, certainly,
but it is mv having 6uflered iu another way

to know also how weak we all are to help our
selves against temptation. 1 here is but one
saleeuard against it prayer. Help may not,

Befnro niiriit nnd arrived the taualed skein
eocmori anmnthor There U RS nOtlmO tO Write tO
my husband beyond saying that my stay would be
prolonged for a dav or two louger. I saw no
good In telling Richard what I meant to do.
ii went tn tn a work tn the morning, and I to
the Armstrongs. I told my tale to sympathizing
hearts ready to help me in my need.
VRIcbard is In a different position from when
hn tfrut came to London: he knows a Utile ot
hit business, aud his manner are lea brusque
his bearing Is more manly," said the eldest Mr.
Armstrong. "I think I roav venture to give vou
. a letter ot Introduction to a house at the West
End, altogether different from where he is now,
provided you are assured that his charactur is
unscathf d."-
I answered according to my own conviction,
that nothing was wrong there; and away I went
on my errand, praying mentally the whole way
that if my mission was for the boy's good, I
might he successful :
lo make a long story short, I succeeded,
though the salary was very small; but he was to
board in the bouse. Then, all due ob-ervancos
being paid to Richard's present employers,
money given t j the misguided boy to release
him trom debt,-a receipt for each small sum
paid I insisted upon seeing, and a handsome
present being made to kind Mrs. Reed, I had
the satisfaction ot knowing that he was in a bet
ter position, ro near his sisters that they could
have a gentle Influence over him; and, free from
his old companions and trom the incubus of debt,
he could now look up with a light heart, and, I
hoped, would make his way in the world. His
Inst words at pari ing were, "You have saved
me, mamma, but do not tell ray father."
"My boy," I replied, "I never concealed a
thing from your lather in my life, and I cer
tainly am not going to begin now. Your father
has never deserved that you should dread him,
and why should you do so ?"
" I do not exactly dread his knowing about it;
but be will think me such a tool, you know,
mamma, to give away at the first temptation."
"Possibly he will, aud you have passed a
correct opinion upon your own conduct. You
are bow doubly armed to become wiser in fu
ture. I leave you in periect confidence. You
have only to have faith that God's help will
come if you ask it. No long prayer is needed.
'God help me I' are the talismanic wrds. But
of one thing be sure He sees you always. lo
not act the fool betore the high majesty of ('od,
and yet be aliaid ot your father's opinion; that
1b cowardly as w ell as foolish."
"Mamma, jou do use hard words."
"No, Richard; I only call things by their
right naitea."
And now, at the moment of departure, my
heart nearly gave way, but the hurry which
generally accompanies the last farewell the in
stant before entering the train scarcely allowed
me to think.
I dared not own to myself how desolate homo
would seem. I was very anxious for Alice, who,
however, looked bright and cheerful. The
evening grew into midnight before we weie
aware ot it, for not till Alice had retired did I
venture to till my husband ot Richard's indis
cretion. It is a bad plan to tell of the faults of
a sister or brother belore either the one or the
other. Arthur only laughed and said:
It is no more than 1 expected, Marv; but
I
am glad you did not worry me about it. You
cannot pxpect to make a boy a saint. 1 rather
think it is of service to him when young to let
him feel the grip of trouble of his own making
and this, you will allow, was Masre.- Dick's
ciise."
"But supposing I had not gone to Loudon.
and he had fallen into crime ?"
"it is useless supposing cases. In nine times
out ot ten I boiieve that bo.vs may be rescued
from incipient vice by judicious- management,
never by stripes or by abuse. Fear uud unkind
nesshave driven many a youth into do wnrUht
wickedness. But about Alice, Mary, I am very
anxious, though she looks very well to-night.
1 dare say it's all my fancy."
Alice had for a long time given me much
anxiety. The pallid transparency of her com
plexion almost startled a stranger. Her eyes
were ghastly bright, not with the sparkling life
of health. Neither stimulants of tonic medi
cine nor of wine strengthened hor; exercise,
particularly iu going up a hill, wearied her till
she looked corpse-Lke; indeed, I have known
her to cry even when she had to go up stairs or
up a Blight acclivity. The doctor suggested
that, her stays should be loosened, but as my
girls never wore stays, only corset bands with
out bones or steels, there was no remedy in this
advice, "bhe will grow out ot It," he said.
Meautime she seemed to grow into it, for she
became worse. If she took any tOod aeyond
simple bread and butter, any 'drink beyond
m'lk and water, she suffered greatly, and very
much as if the were bilious, though her nausea
and weakness did not yield to the medicines she
took. There was an inertness in all her move
ments, a waht of tone, of vigor in her constitu
tion, which was unnatural to health. I had
often seen other girls thus suffer, but had never
heard ot a remedy, except steel and similar
tonics, which too 'frequently were of no avail.
Fortunately it was suggested by a friend to give
her
The raw white ef a now-laid egg beaten to a froth
in a wiueRlusslul of cola water; this do0 to bo
taken three times a dav, a quarter ot an hour before
breakfast, dinner, and supper or tea.
It was tried with perfect success. In two
months she was a different being, could walk
up hill or anywhere else, aud without fatigue.
The color returned to her cheeks, and elasticity
aud sprightliness to her frame, and her eyes
now shone with all the clearness of entire
health. During the time she was taking the
remedy she had milk and water tor breakfast
aud tea, and toast and water made with boiling
waitr tor other beverage.
So much confidence have 1 in this remedy for
want ot strength in young girls from fourteen to
twenty, that I hope every one who reads this will
endeavor to make known this simple cure,
which is also equally efficacious in recovering
strength alier an attack of the jaundice.
"Pray, Alic e, had you any admirers paying
vou a visit in my absence ?" I asked, one dav.
"Tell n e all about then, if vou had."
"No one was here but" Mrs. Marshall and
Agnes, if there had, mamma, I should not
know they were my admirers, end it I knew
them to be bo, I don't think I could talk about
thetu."
"W hat, not even to Agues?"
"I do net know, mumma. I bave never had
an admirer. Perhaps 1 could tell Agues.
but
And whv not tell me. Aenes? Everv eirl
must bave an admirer, a lover, before she mar
ries, perhaps more than one; and who should be
her confidant but her mother? A mother, who
has been through the ordeal ot courtship herself.
can best tell where the pitfalls lie."
"You mav smile incredulously, my dear Alice;
but there are pitfalls in courtship, aud ooe steps
upon them sometimes unconsciously, and down
tumble our prospects of happiness. Let me tell
you the power wnicn irequeutiy nigs cnem no
other potent agency than that known bv the
name of female irieudship. Sometimes wilfully,
and sometimes otherwise, the raischiel is done
which loaves the confiding girl a victim of
treachery."
"But. mamma. I like Agnes Marshall so much.
I should be sorry not to keep up her acquaint
ance."
"Do so bv all means, AJice; but never men
tion a word of jour heart affairs to any com
nnninn."
Weeks passed away, and yet on the part of
Alice there was much reserve. Bhe liked to be
alone, excepting when Agues paid her a visit,
and then she seemed a diiierent being. One day
Mrs. Marshall called, and in conservation com
plained lhat Alice seldom went there, and they
felt it rather a Blight. " 'Tis true she always
excuses herselt by Bayirg that mamma is louely
and you know I can say nothing then. Never
mind. Miss Alice. George is coming heme at
midsummer; perhaps there will be more attrac
tion then."
This sounded coarsely, but nothing was farther
from the speaker's thoughts. In an instant I
looked at Alice; she was deathly pale. She got
uo. and with her pact turned to us. rapidly ex-
funliied Borne nieces of music, saying, iu her
agitation, "That song, mamma, fur Agnes, I
cannot find it."
"Peihaps you may find it in the breakfast
room." I said. "Ruu away aud see."
To a mother's eye (he heart of her daughter is
sometimes revealed at a glance. Ho it was with
Alice. Neither Mrs. Marshall nor Agnes ob
served the poor gill's contusion, and some few
minutes afur. when she returned, her face was
fclierhtlv flushed, but her manner was calm, and
her movements as aracelul as ever. Our visitors
soon alter took leave. Alice had flown to her
room when I returned from seeing them to the
aoor. After a time I weut almost noisele'sly up
stairs, and. gently euteriue, saw her ou a low
spat with her face buried In her hands, fltart
llnrf her, Alice's faoe flushed as much as it had
been before pale.' "Oh, mamma, did you call
me?" she asked, trying to look unconcerned.'
"No my child, but the loss ot your sisters has
had a visible effect on you. It ban made you
nervous."
"Has it, mamma ? I am not a ware of It," she
replied, with a sign of relief.
Not tor worlds would 1 have forced her coni
dence, or hurt her feelings by the slUhtest allu
sions to a malady so new to 'her one in which
a mother finds herself powerless to help. I
could but tenderly watch the unfolding of her
destiny, which I felt was approaching.
