It was the night before Thanksgiving
in the city Lts . well as in' the country ; the
mark9ts shone 'as they always the
evening before the great feast. Never
were garlands' more green, never apples
more red, of gobblers more plump.
"The turkey man drove up and stop

he said, as he i lifted her out .and. stood
her safely on ber feet in the bright light
off the market. . •
She wits a pretty child, but pale now,
with blue lips and Attiring hands.
-"Poor little thing !"'he muttered..; "I
wish they hadn't
_named her Mary," and
he entered the market.
The market-men beamed on everybody.
They rubbed their hands "as custmer
after customer vanikhed with — the T cold
form of some kind' of fowl neatly cover-

It was growit3k late ; tike turkey-man

waiting alone for him in the great white
house, and his little 'Mary . sale in' God's
home above—he had forgotten the home

A heavy hand.was laid on his arm.—

though it had- been covered so long !
Bile wiped the tears from' her eyes as she
heard the• rattling whtels; John -must,
not.see her sad. She opened the door
holding the lamp.high 4bovo her head.
The turkey-man came in, with same
thing,, wrapped in the ',buffalo rohe; he
laid it on the big dining table. "Don't

warmed and comforted 'her, while the

a cothii, foi it•seemed that - I was dead, or
the,y thought I was, which was all the

always whistle joyfully when they got a
measure, but I never believed it before.—
But thatlman actually whistled a subdu

and it seemed that three or four icicles
wore Tolled down my back to the time of

Once to , a
,peasant's cottage came
A beauteous maid, / whose shining frame
And joyous ((mantes, angel bright,
Seemed tothii peasant's dazzleitaight
Some betrig of•celestial birth,
Come down to bless the sons of earth,
Illumined by her presence . there,
All things around grow. bright and fair ;
Nay, to the man's enchanted view
His very but a palace grew ;
Arid he—aa in a royal hall—
Moved like a monarch, lord of all !
On some mysterious errand bent,
_The wondrous being came and went
As led by duty or caprice ;
Soon 'as she entered 'all Wei peace ; f .
Her presence there, however, held,
Was sure to baniih care and grief;
Whenis'er she came, by day hr.'s:light,
The peasant's soul was all delight ; •
Whene'er she went, alas I the room
''Was but a hovel filled with gloom,
"O'bide with tie, thou beauteous maid , !"
(Thus, on his knees the peasant prayed,)
"When. thou art here the moments pass
•
Full Jelin*, ;• but•when, alas 1 .
Thou guest,sall my care end pain ,
Retain to vex my Soul again I"
May not be ;" the maid replied,,
"That I with thee should lorig'abide ;
, They heed my presence otherwhere
A while to banish grief and care.;. •
With mortals transient is my stay ;
I come and smile and pass away ;
•
• They bid me stay, but all in vain,
With mortali I may mot remain !"
"And who art thou.?" the peasant cried,

thrilling account from a recent number of the
Neu, York Observer, of the resignation of a cler
gyman who had fallen a victim to the habit of
intemperance, asking the 'prayers of all "present
for him and his family, that be might be deliv
ered from the terrible bondage which had de:
stroyed his character and usefulness. She also
refern..d to the workers of the past in Montrose
"of blessed memory," giving a suggestion from

ish voice hushed which I lohg to hear. I want
some One to tease me for my knife. I want a
little elbowTto lean npen my knee, a child's
dear eyes to.look up lovingly In mine from un
derneath a thatch of golden hair. If to-day I
could mend a broken cart, or to-morrow make
a kite to reach the sky; I should be bilasftdly
content.
A. year ago I did not see it as I do to•day.—.
We are so dull, so thankless and too slow to
catch the sunshine till it passes by, And now
to me it seems surptisslng strange, that I did
not more often 'ad tenderly kiss the little child
that brought W 3 onlY good.
' TO-night, as I alt do‘frn to ress, I miss, from
-my tired knee, the little elbow, from off my
breast, the restless, curling bead, aid from my
own the.dimpled hands have slipped and neves"
again will nestle in my paltn. Yon cannot
blame us for our heartache when we view, the
contents of the' Lower Drawer, now that the
white mei into their grave have tripped.
