Fnom the time that John Emerson first
came to the Palley Home, I noticed that
a gradual change came over me. I' grew

was a regretfulnesii for that' which wan

longing for a sweeter fulfilment of the fu

Why this Was so, I could not tell: - Mr
Emersop„.was noting to me.' I did not
love him; I do not kneW that I even ad-.

and at Arben•h.e provoked, me by
his words or actions, proud, arrogant,and.

Enferson smiled one of those abominable'
patronizing smiles.
" I do pot chops . ° to drop it, ma belk,"
he said quietly.
"Thank - Heaven, I have an alternative

I arose, and gathered up

"Masi! Did.l hear right? -
"Yes, must. I said it very plainlo. ' -
I gazed-at him with passion ; and, Yet

of it; I was silting down again. I could
haidly 'account for the fact, and so bit, my

out of my heart. I almost regretted hav

I became deeply-interested in liirri . .and in

everyday aOluilities; I stored my mind;
I 'schoOled my temper; I labored with my
bandS.; and the quietness in my soul was
my, boutitifid reward. •
Months passed on. Mr: Emerson
_no.
iiced the change in me. , He did not speak
to me at all; but . whenever I met him,,
there was a kindlier, glow in his eyes:—
One day i came uji to him, and• laying my
hand on his 'shoulder, said,
• John, yon may speak to me again.—
You may'say anything you please to Me!
Mr. Emerson caught my hand, and as I
looked. up into his face, .1, for ihe first

The abovl may be a novel mode - - of

is a barbs rens bile, disgraceful te'the man

to the same " novel mode" of punishment,
the demand for.empty barrels would soon
exhaust the pupply in the country. No
one but.a mean spirited poltroon would
subject white American soldiers to'the
minislimenethat is too frequently inflict-
