"What i, it, Casper ?"

"And, then we shall be . re-unitkl In eter

Lucia moved among her servants their in
peri4, yet equal, if I may:use terms so On.:
tradictory. They venerated her as a mistress,
while they loved her with a touching love, as
if she bid been a sister. Lucia indeed, gOvern 7
ed well. Guided by her perfect will all:things
tOok the shape and sound of harmony. Her
household might be likened to .a sweet and
golden harp. on which: she-was the rare and
always faultless perfortner;" No. harsh notes;
no jarring.tliscord,idiscomposed the -order •of
her governing system. Gentleness was :bey
wand of love,. geutlenesi her rod of correction.
Similes in-the 'sunshine/Of her presence seemed
playing .over even inanimate things, and the
goodness and:purity of her tovely.spirit bound
all together as with a mystic chain.: Even the
"stranizer within their gates" was .drawn into
the'cbarmed circle, and left itiovingand
dering.
Oh! the beautiful order in' families where
hearts are trnly , united, 'and . " pure religion
and undefiled before the Fatherwcementsthe
bond of union. Stay thy ruthless hand,fierce
reformer! Pause before a ' scene like this,
where angels in human form,iinked, to Heav
en by virtues stronger than adamgnt•, make
of hotne the ark of safety, the abiding-place'
of love. AlLmayt be thus, if they will but
listen'to the di - Rates of conscience, and mild=
vete' a ith aasiduous tate, the tenant of this
frail tabernacle, the 'soul. So may 'we. make
our Heaven ;\ and woe to us, though it is in
our power, if we create for ourselves-condem

Certainly some were envious.- Is it .nob
always the case? ..Sotne, who by bad .thrift,
and minds unequal to-cope with thaw adver

his lofty thought and as he gazed 'down in

brain.

• After prayers, the red coals on.. the hearth
were carefully raked - up and covered with
ashes, and in it few moments the lights were•
put out, and the good old couple'slept.
Day dawned again. Earth. smiled in its
crystal beauty. It was a brilliant morning.
Casper and Lucia were`awake with' the first
glimmering of light. Indeed, they had slept
uneasily, end had often spoken to each•other
in the still watches of the night
