"Wait," he had said, "until we want It; when the fire-wood runs short, and we can't get it elsewhere, it will be time enough." So the tree bad been saved from the axe, and stood there liken giant, defying the storm. Saul piled up the rough seats and the tables which' comprised the furniture of the tent. and, climbing to the top of them, cut a great hole in the roof of the tent. It was daylight above, and the snow was falling fast. Saul saw the noble tree shinning fast and firm in the midst of the stern]. With a desperate leap he caught a branch, and raised himself above the tent. And when he looked upon the, awful scene, upon the cruel white, snow in which tne tents all around him, were imbedded, and nearly bur led, hle heart throbbed despairingly.., But this was no time for despair. It was the time for action. When he had secured his position in the tree, he stooped over the tent. -"David!" healed. David's voice answered him. "This is our only chance." hesald, loudly; he spoke slowly and distinct ly, so that those within the tent might hear him. "Here we may be able to find safety until the storm abates and the snow subsides. Lis-. en to me and do exactly as I. say. Get some provisions 'together and some water; and the little brandy that is left. Make them up in a bundle. Tie rope and cord around It, and let me have it. Quickly!" Before he finished specking, Da vid's wife was busy attending to his inst ructions. "Answer me, Saul," cried David. "What do you see of our elates?" Saul groaned. "Do not ask me David!" Let us thank God that this tree was left standing." David climbed on, to thi table in a few minutes, with the• bundle of provisions in his hands He was lifting; It for Saul to tate bold of, when the pile upon wNeh he was standing gave way, apd he 'fell heav ily to the ground. At this moment a mcvetnent in the tent nearest to the retreated Saul's attention. One of her men in side had thought also of t e tree, and had adopted Saul's expedienti of cut ting through the roof of the tent: His head now appeared above the tent. He saw Sant. but he was too far away to reach the tree. - "Give me a band, mate." heeded. "Give me a hand, for God's saltet" "One moment," replied• Saul, deeply anxious for the fate of-David for he beard the generous-hearted digger_' groan, and heard David's wife piabloing.

He found.a plank, and was raising it to the roof, with the purpose of resting 'it upon the branch - Of the tree. As with more than a man's-strength he lilted the plank forward, Saul heard a thud beneath him, and looking down, saw that the wails of the tent in which David and his wife were hid given way, and that the snow *as toppling over.

His faun was covered with hair fast turning gray. Between him and Saul but little in tercourse hallaken place. Saul had not been attracted by Beaver's man ner, although often when he looked at the man a strunge impression came upon him that he knew the face. Saul spoke to Beaver once, and asked him where he came from; but Bea ver answered hire roughly, and Saul spoke to him no more. In this dread time, however, Beaver's tongue was loosened. "This is awfull he said, looking up at Saul. Saul looked dawn upon the white face which was upturned to his, and the same strange impression of its , being - familiar tolim stole upon him like a subtle vapor. An agonising fear was exprirsed in Beaver's coun tenance; he was felghtened to death. He was weak„too, having just come out of a low fever,and it heeded all his strength to keep-his footing on the tree. "Do you think We shall die hire? " I he asked. "I see no hope.'" replied Saul, press ing David's little daughter to his breaste'eThe child had fallen to sleep. Saul's soul was too much troubled for converse, and the morning passed along in silence. ;:Saul lowered some food and drink to Beaver. "I have very little brandy," he, said; "but you shall share And share." And when Beaver begged for more.he said, "No, not yet; I must husband it.

Saul offered up a prayer for Bessiers father, and waned sadly for Ms time to come. As the night waned, the tierce wind grew softer, and sighed and moaned, repentant of the desolation it had caused. What a long, long night it was! But at length the, morning's appeared, and therfSaul, look ing down saw that he-and David's little daughter were the only ones left. Stronger grew the light, until day had fairly dawned. As Saul looked over the white expanse, he felt that there was no hope for him, and his mind began to wander. Long forgotten incidents of his child hood came to hini; lie saw his' father and mother long since dead; he saw a brother who had died when he himself wa,s a child; he saw Jane as she was when he first met her, as she was on that sad night when she told him of the duty that lay before him; he saw George and the lights on Westminster Bridge. All these visions rose for him out of the snow. And field and flowers came, and he wandered among them hand in hand with Jane, as they had done on one happy holiday. It did not seem strange to him that there was no color in any of _there things; It caused no wonder in his mind that all these loved ones, and the fields and flower's perfect in form and shape, were colorless, were white and pure as the snow which stFetehes around on every side. They) were dear memories all of them—emblems of purity. And in that dread time he grew old ; every hour was a year in the midst of all the terror of the time he pressed David's littte daugh ter closer and closer to his breturt, and .committed their souls to God. So that day passed, and the night, and the sun rose in splendor. The white hills blushed, like maidens surprised. With wild eyes and fainting soul, Saul looked around; suddenly a flash of,loq spread over - his face. Upon, a distant, mount. stood Jane_ ..

Young. Mr. Million smiled pleasant ly. and without the slightest conde scension. The cordiality of his man ner was perfect. " Quite a gentleinan 4 ," thought old Ben; "every inch a gentleman!" Said young Mr. Million, "As I was passing your way, I thought I would drop In to see how you and your granddaughter are." "It's very kind and thoughtful of you, Sir," replied old Ben Sparrow. "Of course we're a bit upset at George's going. Every thing is at sixes and sevens, and will be, I dare say, for a few days. Bessie's inside" —with &jerk of his head in the direc tion of the parlor—"-he's very sad and low, poor dear." "We mustn't let her mope, Mr. Sparrow," remarked young Mr. Mil lion, striking up a partnershipat once with the old grocer. "No, Sir," assented Ben; "we must' not let her mope; it ain't good for the young—nor for the old, either. But it's natural she should grieve a bit. You see, Sir," he said, confidentially, "George is the only sweetheart Bessie ever had. She ain't like some girls, chopping and changing, as if there's no meaning in what they do." , o,ve must brighten her np, Mr. Sparrow. 1 t wouldn't be a bad thing if you were to take her for a drive in the country one fine day. The fresh air would do her good." "It would do her good, Sir. But I couldn't leave t4e shop. Business is dreadfully dull, and I can't afford to lose a chance of taking a few shillings —though, with the way things are cut down, there's very little profit got nowadays. Some things almost go for what they cost. Sugar, for in j;ilM u fe 4 / 2 113 , s;believe I get a ha' Young Mr. Million expressed his sympathy, and said it ought to be looked to. Ho would speak to his father, who was a "friend of the working-man, you know." "1 don't know how to thank you, Sir,* said Ben, gratefully. "Indeed, I haven't thanked you yet for the kindness you—" "I don't want to be thanked," interrupted young Mr. Million viva- I ciously. "I hate to be thanked! The fact is, Mr. Sparrow, lam an idle young dog, and it will always give me pleasure to do you any little service in my pciwer. I will go in and say, How do you do? to Miss Sorrow, if you will allow me." - "Allow you, Sir!" exclaimed Ben. "You're always welcome here." "I brought this little bunch of flow ers, for her. Flowers are scarce now, and thesight olthem freshens one up. Although, Mr. Sparrow, your grand daughter is a 'righter flower than any in this bunch!" "That she is, Sir; that she is," cried Ben, in delight; adding to himself, under his breath. "Every inch a gen tleman! His kindness to Georgeand me is a-maz-ing—a-MAZ-ING!" The idle young dog, entering the parlor, found Bessie very unhappy- She was unhappy because of the man ner of her parting from George last night; unhappy and utterly misera ble because of the poisoned dagger which had been plan in i per heart. "I was passing through Covent Garden," said theldlo young dog. in &male tones, thinking how pretty 'Bessie looked even in her sorrow, "and seeing these flowers, I thought you ae oept them would IP. do rue the pleasure to eie thanked'him, and took thero listlessly from his hand. Tottie, who was playing at "shop" in u-eor nor of the room,, weighing sand - with' .imier wales, and AliMfrof it; to Imaginary customers matte bat four r•eony-ha'penny moist (is this ever done in reality, I wonder!), came for ward to see and smell the flowers. The idle young dog seized upon Tot- ZEES Established -1818 tie as a pretext for taking a seat, and. lifting the child on his knee, allowed her tO - Play with his watch-chain, and opened his watch for her, and putit to her ear so that she might hear it tick—a performance of which she would never have tired. His manner toward Bessie was very con siderate and gentle, and she had ev ery reason to be grateful to him, for he has been a good friend to her grandfather and her lover. Certainly he was one of the pleasantest men,in the world, and he won Tottie's heart by giving her a shilling—the newt he could find in his pocket. Tottie immedately slipped off his knee, end went to a corner to brighten her coin with sand; after the fashion of 01(1 Ben Sparrow, who often polish ed up a farthing too, until he could see his face in it, and gave it to Tot tle as a golden sovereign. And Tottie valued it quite as much as she would have done if it had been the purest gold. The idle young ,dog did not stay very long; he was no bungler at this sort of idling, and he knew the value of leaving a good impression behind him. So,.after a quarter of an hour's pleasant chat, he shook hands with' Bessie, and as hestood smiling, at her, Wishing her good-day, with her hand ift_his, the dour suddenly open ed, and George Naldret appeared. His face was white and haggard, and there was a wild grief in his eyes. The agony through which he had f on the previous night seemed. to made him old in a few hours. Hs stood there silent, looking at Bes sie and young Mr. Million, and at their clasped hands. It was but for a moment, for I3essie with a startled cry—a cry that had in it pain and horor at the misery in his face—had taken her hand from young Mr. Mil lion's palm; it was but fora moment, but the new expression that over spread George's face like an evil cloud was the expression of a man whd had utterly lostill faith and be lief of Heaven. Bessie divined, its meaning, and gave a gasp ofagony, but did not speak. Not so y'oung Mr. Million. "Good Heavens!" he cried' with a guilty look which he could not hide from George's keen gaze. George, what has happened?" George looked at young Mr. Mil lion's out-streched hand, and rejected it disdainfully and with absolute con tempt. Then looked at the flowers on the table—hot-house flowers he knew they were—then into Bessie's face, which seemed as if it were carv ed out of gray-white stone, so fixed did it grow in his gaze—then at the ear-rings in her ears; and a bitter. bitter smile came to his lips—a smile it was pity to see there. "These are pretty flowers," he said, raising them from the table; in the Intensity of his passion his fingers closed upon the blooming things, and In a moment more he would have crushed them; but he restrained himself in time, and let them drop from his strongly veined hand. "I beg pardon," he said, "they are not mine. Even if they belong to you— which-they do, of course—l can have no claim on them now." Readdressed himself to Bessie, but she did not answer him. She had never seen in Ms face what she saw now, and she knew that it was the dtintrref her love and , his. 40 - 7411141 You sotoo4 engage it readily. It almost seemed as if it wished not to be taken from its resting-place. As he held it in his hand ho knew that his life's happiness was in it,and that he was about to relinquish it.— And as he held it,there came to Bes sie's wind the words he had spoken only the night before: "See here, heart's treasure," he had said, "here is the purse you worked for me,round my neck. It shall never leave me—it rests upon my heart. The pretty lit tle beads ! }lowa love them ! I shall kiss every piece of gold I put, in it, and shall think I am kissing you, as I do now, dear, dearest, best: 'Take it," George said now. She held out her hand mechanically and as George touched her cold fing ers he shivered. Both knew what ISEE this giving and taking meant. It meant that all was over between them. Old Ben Sparrow had come into the room, and had witnessed the scene in quiet amazement; he did not see his way the remotest undestand lag of what had passed. But he saw Bessie's suffering, and he moved to her side. When the purse was in her hand he touched her but she re pulsed him gently. Some sense of ' what was due to herself in the pres ence of young Mr. Million came to her, - and her womanly pride at George's 'rejection of her in the pres ence of another man mime to her also and gave her strength for awhile. George's hand was on the door, when young Mr. Million, who was deeply mortified at George's manner toward himself, and who at the same time thought it would be a gallant move to champion liessie'scapse,laid his hand on George's sleeve and said: 'Stay; you owe me en esvlatna tion." "Hands oft!" cried George is dangerous tone, and it tierce gleam in his eyes... Hands off, you sneak ing dog! I owe au explanation, do 1 ? I will give it to you when we are alone. Think what kind of an expla nation it will be, when I tell you be forehand that you are a false, lying tlexv itch r.A..0ur , 1 of yourself when Every nerve in George's nouy quivered with passion and , pain. "You can't frighten me with blus ter," said young Mr. Million, who I was no coward„ "although you way try to frighten laides with it. is my presence here Is likely to cause fur ther pain to a lady whom I esteem" —with a respectful look toward Bessle. which mused George to press his nails into his palms— "I will take my leave, unless Mr. Sporrow wish es me to stay as a protection to him and his graiddaughter." "No Sir;l thank you," replied Ben Sparrow, sorrowfully. "George Nal dret can do my child no more harul than he has done already." "Then I will go and he moved to ward the door, ' first saying hewer. er, that I tried to be this man's friend"—indicating George with a conteniptuous motion of the hand, and repeating., "that I tried to be his friend— " Yon lie!" cried George. "—Thinking;" continued young Mr. Millian,with quiet disdain, "that he was better than others of his class. But I was mistaken. Mr. Sparrow, you exonerate me from all blame in what has taken place?"

His neighbors supp ed him to be on his wayto thejOth er end of the world, and they Itther resented his apoearanceamong them, for he had in a certain measure de ceived them. He had promised to write to some, to tell than how, af fairs were over the water, andtwo or three courageous ones had already made up their minds that if George sent home a good account of things they would sell every stick they had and make for a land wherea brighter future awaited them than they could look forward to here. They would have been satisfied if George had - given them an explanation, but this he had absolutely refused to do. "I have altered my mind," was all they could get from him. "I may do that if I like, I suppose, and if it don't hurt you." But some decided • that it did hurt them; and whea.they continued to press him for further particulars, he desired them to mind theleown businesEr, and as this was the most difficult twit he could set them,it made matters worse. George was too delicate-minded and too hon orable to introduce Bessie's name; and, when the inquisitive ones men tioned it, he turned upon them sav agely. It caused quite an emotion to the neighborhood. On the first day Mrs. Naldret had tried to per4irade George to keep. In doors and not show hinisclf. But he said, "No, mother; it will be better for me to show my face at once, and art shirk the thing." , And his..fatthi er backed hi, mqp In his resolution.. gnadrat Barejaart olll loanikS tJaal EAtio tingilLp to go to Bessie and reiwse - her rem her promise. Thus it Was that , he met young Mr Million in the parlor of the old grocer's shop,w here he had spent su many happy hours. He had decided in his mind what to say. He would be gentle and firm with Bes sie. And as he walked to old Ben Sparrow's shop, disregarding „the looks of astonishment which his first appearance in the streets occusioned, he rehersed in his mind the exact words he would speak to her. But when he arrived there and saw Mr. Million smillingly Wilding her hand, and saw the bunch of rare flowers on the table, he received such a shock that his plans were instantly swept away, and be spoke out of the bitter ness of his heart. How the news got about was a mystery, and how it, grew into exag •gerated and monstrous forms was a greater mystery still. Who has ev er traced to its source the torrent of exciting rumor which, like a rush of waters, flows and swells, unlocking vivid imagination in its course,until reason and fac..are lost in the whirl? An sorts of things were said. George was frightened of the water; he was in debt; he had done something wrong at the shop he was working at, and was not allowed to leave without clearing it up; these and a hundred other things were said and commented upon. The peculiarity of this kind of rumor is, that direct- ly a nee' theory is started, it is ac cepted as a fact, and is taken to pieces and discussed in all its bearings.— George was a fruitful theme with the 'neighbors on that Saturday night and on the following day; they serv ed him up hot 'like a new and appe tizing dish 1, and so seasoned him and spiced him and garnished him that It would have made his blood tingle to have known. But he did not know, and did not even suspect. To be sure, when Jim Naldret went to the baker's on the Sunday for his baked shoulder of mutton and pota toes, he heard a few remarks, but he did not say a word to George, and the mother, father,and son spent a sad and quiet evening together,and thAft mond gence was bandied trim Otieltniuutu -or that Bessie Sparrow and George Naldret had broken from each other. Bessie had turned him off, it was said they had had a dreadful ,quarrel the night before he was to start for Lis?. erpool. But it Is not necessary here to set down all the reasons that were given for the breaking of the engagement. Some of them were trail, and all were false. But in the course of the day a little rill was start ed, which grew and grew, and swell ed and swelled, until it swallowed up all the other waters. A rod was thrown down, whic, becomin in- stantly quick with l h ife,turned i nto a serpent, and swallowed all the other s erpents. it was said that Bessie had discovered that George had another sweetheart—who she was, where she lived, and how it had been kept se cret during all this time, were mat ters of no importance; but It was first whispered, then spoken aloud and commented on, that this sweetheart should have been something more than a sweetheart to George —she should have been his wife.— The mason why she should have been his wife was that George was a fath er. But where was the child? nu; mar decided this instantaneously.— The child was no other than our poor little Tottie• ; and George had basely deceived old Ben Sparrow and Bes sie luto taking care of the little one by a clever and wicaed story that Tottie was an orphan without a friend in the world. Here was Rod for the gossipers! How this hot dish was served up, and spiced and seasoned! It reached George's eats, and he wrote to Ben Sparrow. He said that he had heard some rumors affecting his character; he did -not mention what the se rumors were, but he said. that the were wicked lies---wicked, wicked Iles, he repeatexl in his letter. The ruiners he referred to may have reached Mr. Sparrow and might ef. feet the happiness of a poor innocent See fo - urth page. El
