Cathirnie Grey. Eliza ArdwelLand Edilh Nelson,
- had been schoolmates together. and although the latter
had entered two years before the others left. and although
she was a mere child; yet her sweet disposition, and
lovely. though sad face, won the hearts of all her school-
Mates, particularly that of Catherine Grey. Boat bad
wept over the graves of dear parents, but while Cathe
rine's loss had been 'nes% repaired by the love of an
uncle who took her to his own childless home, Edith's
young heart had known no second friend since the death
if her mother. A very small fortune was left, barely
sufficient to adulate her for a teacher, and a child of ten
years She entered Mrs. seminary. Walter Ev
elyn. however,' became acquainted with the young. girl
during the last year of her school life, and won the heart.
that had so long•felt•tho - need of something to love; en
when Edith, at the age of seventeen, left the school, it
wai only to become the almost idolized wife of a man in
every respect worthy of her. Evelyn took her to his own
boate—a little cottage in a country town . . with tall trees
overshading it, from whose breaches the Weds sang all
summer long. • It was an humble dwelling, for Evely
was a poor lawyer, but the you - ng people were contented
and all-in.-all to each ether. IWauvilitle, Eliza Ardwell
bad married a cousin of Walter Evelyn, an amiable but
rather "weak-minded" men, who fur the sake of peace.
allowed his wife to take tiir own course in every respect
If she was contented and happy, Mr. Willouguby was
satisfied, and so long as she was d and flattered
she was happy.
Ctjherine had also married in two years after leaving,
the school. and passed three short years of unalloyed
happiness, when her husband who was taken "down in
bi's early manhood. and she was left with one son—it
widow. Nut until then did she learn submission to the
will of her heavenly Father—not until chastisement was
laid heavily upon hei, could shelotre the kind hand that
bestowed it. and sly through bitter tears. **Thy wilt be
done." Iler whole sittenlion and clue was now lavished
upon her son.. Loving him as deeply as g heart like ham
only could love, yet she allowed no feeling of maternal
affection to interfere with her government over him.—
Ilia character was one that required more than ordinary
watchfulness and cure, and Mrs. Vaughan knew that if
she humored his carrriees its his bn)ltood, she should lay
up in store sorrow for Its tqinhood, and for her own old
age.
Walter Evelyn and his young wife. we have said,
weriall•in-all to each other. Through clouds sod sun
shinein Morrow and in joy—they had loved, each other
more and More devotedly; but them were dark clouds
gathering over their peaceful home--alas, for their bri.r. t
hopes! In little more than eight years frOinrthe tin of
their marriage, the ••angel of dead*" came, and t a lov
ing husband and tender father was taken from 'his wife
and only child, the little Edith. and laid in the 'rio t grave.
Mrs. Evelyn could not twig survive the loss. He had
been the sturdy oak, and she the fragile vino, arid now
that her earthly support was fallen, she hid nothing left
to sling W. She knew that He who bid promised to be
the widow's God. had also promised to be a Father to the
fatherless, and that what He had promised be was faith
ful to fulfil; so when she felt that she most soon bid fare
well to her child, and when her step grew more feeble,
and theliectie more bright on her wan cheek, she called
Mr.. Willoughby. who was the nearest relative to whoa)
she nould apply, and committed to his care her darling
Edith; 'and although his wife was the last woman whom
