CAMILLA.
Paul Smith was a poor old mans
He had n back room at the top of a
noisy lodging house, where he slept
and mouse bed his meals of bread and
cheese (or bologna sausage when he
could afford it,) and from whence he
Crept, harmless and unnoticed ns
down to the corner of the dingy
strect, - to the little music shop of
Carl Bermann, a music
.seller some
where in Soho..
There he tinkered all day on brok
en violins :and other instrumeos,
never absenting himself fora
,moment
save on Saturday afternoons, when
he went ro teach the piano to three
or four stupid girls. Sundays, he
curled up in his den and amused
himself—no/may knew how-:--until
Monday. morning.
There are few certainties; he never
went to church, but he picked rag
ged children from the pavement when
they fell near himanil gave them half
pennies when he had any; shared his
dinner with a mangy, dirty ear, who
ILeted r.s a sort. of escape valve for
the ill Wolper or half the men and
women in the street;' And he rouged .
Pat Ryan from his midnight snoose,
in the gutter, and 'literally carried.:
him home to Nora and the children.
As for honesty; 'as a neighbor re.
marked. "If he found five shillings
in the street, he'd wear out ten Ail- -
lings worth Of, strength ~ and shoe
leather to find, the owner." ;'
One dark, cold night, Paul was re
thrning from his work with a loaf or
bread under one arm and a violin un
der the other, and nearly fell over a
small 'object crouched oft the step
Bless me! what's this?" eriel
Paul, striving to regain . his . equili
brium.
"Only me, sir and the small
ject stood up and became a very pale
thin, ragged, child.
: "Are you hurt little girl ?"
"No, sir."
"What are you doing here in the
cold ?"
" Nothing."
-
"Why don't you go borne ?"
" I ain't got any."
" Dear mel Where's your mother ?"
"In heaven?"
At - this Paul was dumbfounded.
and seeing, that great tears were
stealing down the child's wan thee,
he Ahrust the violin-under the arm
which . had held the, bread, and put
ting the other around \ the tiny'figure
he laid, "Oh, I've got areal.
jolly place 1 Come up, and see."
And this is the way old Paul tame
to have a neat little house• - , keeper,
and to be baying calico gowns and
shoes out of his poor salary. ,
People wondered at the sight of this
bent old man; hitherto alone and un
eared for, now walking daily to •
work with his band upon the shoulder
of the a odd, yet pretty faced girl,
lookini . at her with honest pride
brightening his eves, and laughing
as loud as she whenever the- - joke I
camean. But old Paul: looked un
concerned, evaded the questions of
the curious, and learned to - .love
nothing in this world better than the
little 'talc : Camilla,.
There were many, many days when
'rheumatism drew Paul by the fire in
the old back attic, and drew the very
last penny out of the- dilapidated
purse; but brave little Camilla never
forgetting how near death she had
been on 'that bitter night of their
meeting, always found a way to ward
oif 'hunger, and - courage to keep

THE HO'
SE=
True society begins in the home.
When two young People love each
Other, andinarry, they restore the pic
ture of the apostolic church. Thoy
are of one heart and one soul. Neith.
er do they - say that anything they
possess is their but ther•have
all things in common. Their mutual
trust in each - other,. draws out all
that is hest in both. Love is the an-
who rolls avray the stone from
the grave in which we bury our bet
ter nature. and it eoines forth. Love
nutti.2s all things new; makes all
cares light, all pAin easy it is the
one enchantment of human life which
realizes Fortuhio's purse and Alad
din's palace - , and turns the "Arabian
Night's into mere prose iu compari
son._ • ,-
.
Think how this old story of love
is repeated forever in all the novels
and rmaa p ees and poems, and - how
we never tire. of reading about it;
and how; if' there is to be a wedding
in a church all mankind go, just to
have one look at two persons,who are'
supposedott- least, to be in love, and
so supremely happy. But ,this also,
is _not perfect socie tly. It is teto nar
row, too .eXCIUSiVe. It shows the
flower of devotion. trust, seltsurren
r. that there is in the human heart;
and, it is also a prophecy of something
larger that is, to come. But ,R is at
least a home, and before real society
;can come, true home must - come. As
in a sheltered nook in the midst
. or
the great sea of ice which rolls down
froin the summit of Mont •Bline , is
found a little green spot full of ten
der flowers, so in the shelter of the,
home in the warm atmosphere of
bous,ehold lore, spring up the pure .
affections of parent and child; fath
er, mother,-son, daughter; -of broth
ers and sisters. Whatever makes
this insecure, and divorce frequent,
makes, of marriage
,no- a . Union for
life, hui, an experireent which may be
tried xis often as we choose, and :than
' doted when we like. And, this cuts
. 1 up by the roots all the dear affections
of home; leaves children orphaned,
destroys fatherly and motherly love,
sad is it virtual dissolutiori.of society.
I. know ther great difficulties of this
qucf• - tion, and -how much wisdom is
required to solve them. But what
ever weakens the pennant nce of mar- .
'lnge tends. to dissolve .soeiety, for
permanent homes are " to the social
state What the little cells are to the
