THE SILVER LINING.
"Every cloud lini Itasilver lining."
But it seemed to Helen Llvlngitono
tl,t there could oo none to her sorrow
eloudt It was dark ojid heavy.
And yet her home was n most luxuri
ous onp; she had everything raoneypould
buy, she was. yet young, nnd very
beautiful., . Hut there is one sorrow
riches cannot avert death. Two
vparn nun litr lnibbaml. proud, noble-
hearted Edward Livingstone died. That
almm-t crushed her, 011 1 she uoro up
tor the sake of her sou herbtlght-eyed
goldcu-hnired Eddie.
Afid now Eddie was gono. And
since tliu day tney laid hlin besldo his
father, all her energy was gone. All
her hopes and Interests In life left her,
and all day long ehelay upon the
sofa or cat In a deep lounglug chair
In her daikened chamber, scarcely eas
ing enough to sustain life, refusing to
oeo any f 1 lends except her own family.
And here, her sister, Mrs. Maxwell,
found her, an sho came one, bright
morning, bringing a breath of heaven's
fresh loveliness Into the close, perfumed
aud heated chamber.
-"Come, Helen, do come out for a
little rldu," sho entreated. "I've brought
my own carriage and ponies, and I'll
drive you myself. It is such a lovely
morning I Please Helen I"
Hut Ileleu only turned wearily ou
her sofa.
"No, uo, Sue I How can .you ask
mo?"
"It will do you good, Helen," plead
ed iiuo.
"I don't want to be dono good. I
only want to bo let alone. I never
want to leave this room until I'm car
ried out as poor little Eddie was,"
moaned Helen.
And that won't do long, ljm thinking
If you nre allowed to go on In this fash
ion, muttered Sue.underhcrbreath, while
she added uloud, using a last argument
"Please come, listen. We'll t'rlvo Qut
to Laulal Hill and take soinu dowers
to Edward nnd Eddie's grave."
"Ho Sue, no. I soud flowers out
every day, but I can't go myself; don't
tcaiu me, Sue.
Poor Sue stood still t her bright eyes
full of tears, looking at her sister for a
little whllo. Then she turned abruptly
and left the roou without another word.
And she diovo her pretty ponlt-s
straight to the house of a dear old
frlend-7-iu two senses Into whoso pres
ence "ho carried Iter petition.
"Auut Itachel, do pleaso go and see
Helen," she begged; "I cau't do any
thing with her uono of us can, nnd If
you can't, 1 don't know what will be
come of her."
"You know I will do what I can."
softly returned Itachel Dalryaiplo.
"Sit down hero nnd tell mo all about
Helen."
And having heaidp Aunt Ilachcl
dressed herself and went In Sue'ti car
riage to the mourner's house.
"The servants will not want tq ad
mit you, , but don't oe denied," said
Sue ns Aunt Ilnchcl got out.
The dear old lady nodded, nnd when
the door opened she walked. In ntronco.
"I havo come to see llolen Living
stone," she said.
"Mrs. Livlngstono does not seo vis
itors," she said, ns sho continued
stralghtup to Helen's darkoued cham
ber.
Entering with a soft tap, sho crossed
the room aud took Helen's thin white
hand,
"I havo come to eeo you, Helen,"
sho 6a Id softly. "Hut I cannot say I do
see you your chamber Is too dark,
dear,"
She walked at onco to tho window,
aud drew aside tho heavy curtains, let
ting in a Hood of golden sunlight.
"Ohl the lightl" moaned Helen.
"Wo cannot livo without, light, my
dear," said Aunt ltac.'iel, returning to
a seat closu beside Helen, "Now
Helen," she said gently, "I am older
than you, and l'vo been through tho
d'vp waters of tribulation. Tell uiu all
your troubles, and I will help'you If I
can." ,
The gentle words and tones' went to
Helen's heart, nnd she hurst into a tor
rent of such tears as 10 had not shed
before or since her bereavement.
Two or threo hours Aunt Rachel
staid arid continued her luluistr.utoua,
and when sho left she had won from
Helen n promise that she would no
longer nure her sorrow In feyisli lone
liness, but go about In the wDrlir, and
endeavor to do the duties etlll l ft to
her.
"If you try lo do right, jyou'll find
there Is sorue happlncsi left yet," .said,
gentle Aunt Hachel. Aud, though
Helen did not tiulto believe she could
ever bo happy, she know her wealth
afloided her large means of doing good,
aud for that she would try aud live.
A few monthsilatcr nnd tho winter
snow had covered Eddie and his father
with a roba of spotless white, aud It
was near the happy Christmas-tide.
More than 0110 humble home had
been brightened by Helen's; generous
Christmas gifts, and she begau to take
some pleasure in these pleasant duties.
Some oiio has beautifully said "Hap.
plness is n perfume which wo cannot,
sprinkle over others without spllllnga
few drops on ourselves." Anti Helen,
In seeing how she imad& others happy,
was far happier herself than, she had
over hoped to be ugaln,
The day before Christmas she had
word of nil aged and bedridden relative
some distance away, and she at once
went .to seo her.

17, 1877.
As sho got In the trnln to return, sho
found it very crowded, and with dllU
oiilty got a seat next n plain, neat-look-Ing
country wqman, who had wltlt her
a llttlo fellow1 cf livo or six years, and
Helen's heart thrilled. a she lookod at
tho llttlo fnce with Its bright, blue ey3
and golden hair, for It bora qtilto a re
semblance to tho dear face of her lost
Eddie.
Sho could not help speaking to tho
child, and trying to win It to her, and
presently sho had hlui upon her knee.
'What is your ltttlo. boy's name?"
sho said addressing' tho woman. (
"Eddie Hamlltou," said tho stranger
with a sigh. ' ,
And Helen's heart thrilled again at
the familiar name.
'liut lie's not' my child; he's nn or
phan," continued the woman.
"aVh I" commented Helen, interested
at once. 1 ,
"No ma'am, he's not, ei! 110. His

to do It, me and John did, but wo
dld'nt 6oe no other way tp do It, so I'm
taking liliri to the Orphan' Asylum. Do

And when Mrs. Reynolds looked' at

And tho next morulugtwo llttfc stuffed
