The glow of sunset was 'already fading upon the border of the clear and cloudless sky. and the moon shone calm and bright into the little chatnher, shadowing the square panes of the half open window, togeth er' with the grape vine which adorned it. upon the nicely sanded flour. Little Ferdinand, a boy of six yearn of age, stood leaning egainst therwin ! . dew frames. his blooming face and yellow locks, with a portion• of. his white, clean shirt sleeves, and scarlet vest, were distinctly 'Tidbit, in the ninon-tight. . . The poor woman was sitting thus to rest her self, perhaps, Out oppressive as bad deer the Ta bora of the sultry day, yet a heaVier burden weigh- - ed upon belt . bosoni. and rendered her forgetful of her weariness. She had eaten'hut a_spoonful or two of their- supper, which consi•ted of a bnivl of bread end milk! Little Ferdinandl was also greatly disturbed, but did not speak. because he saw that his mother was so sorroWful. Having observed that his mother, inrtead of 'eating. wept bitterly, he had — laid aside his spoon; and the earthen—die 'toad—upon the table, almost us full as when served up. •• • Maria was left a widow irethe earlyl'part of thh previous spring'. Her deceased. husb l and, one of the worthiest young men in the,village, had, by industry and economy. saved a sum of,money suf ficient td , purchase a. little cottage, With its neat meadow, though not entirely free 'fr'om incum brance. The indtorions man had planted the green and cheerful field with you,ng trees, which already bore the finest fruit. He had chosen Ma ria for hid wife, although, she was a poor orphan, and her parents had been able to give her nothing more than a good education. He had chisen her because she was knowiyas the moat pious, indus trious and well-behaved maiden in the village.— They had' lived happy 'together, but the typhus fever l hroke out in the village, and her husband died. Having nursed him with the greatest ten. Jeanette, she tieritelf we's atteeltd with it, after his death, and barely escaped with life. Her husband's sickness end her own, had . thrown them much behind hand ; 'but no she must even part with her little cottage. ' Her de. ceased husband had long labored for the richest peatomt in the country, amen by the name of Meyer. The peasant, who highly esteemed him on account 'of hie fidelity and industry. had lent him three hundred crowns to purchase his cottage, with the ground belonging to it. upon the condi• tion that he would pay off fifty crowns yearly, torenti.fiviin money and•twentytive in labor.— Until the year that he was taken sick, her husband had faithfully performed his agreement, and t h e debt now amounted to but fifty crowns. -Maria knew all this very Well. ' . Meyer now : died of the same dtsesse. The heirs, a son and daughter-m.lBw, found the mile of the three hundred crowns among the papers of the deceased. • They did not know a word about the' affair, as the old man had never spoken of it to them, ' The terrified woman assured them, calling beaten to 'witness ) that her deceased hue band bad paid off the whole except fifty crowns. But all this wee of no avail. The young peasant called her's:shameless liar, and summoned ber be fore ricourt of law. As she could not prove that anythingliad been pail; it was decided that the entire' lann against her ass , valid.. The heirs in sisted upon payinent ; and as poor Maria had no thing but tier cottage and ground, this little pro- perty mint now be sold.' She bad fallen upon her knees before the heirs, end bad prayed them not to turn her oat of 'doors; littlerettlinand wept with-her—both wept- 7 -hut all was in' vain. The following morning was appointed ' for the sale. tlbe had berinl this in hour' 'afore, just as she had finished her day's w ork. A neighbor bad called' out cripr the hedge, sad tot 4-11 to her. I It wk-for this reason that shp new set pp ern : roWful by the _open veiodow, glancing now op JOHNSON ward to the clear sky, now upon Ferdinand, and then gazed steadily upon the'lloor.: There waaa sad silence. Alas!" she said to herself, 1 •I have taring, then, raked the hay from the orchard for the last -time. The early yellow - plums, which I picked this 'morning for Ferdinend,.is- the last fruit 'which the poor boy will eat from the trees which it's rattler planted for him: Yes, this may be the last night we shall spend beneath this roof. By this time to•rnorrow, this cottage will be enethet's property, and who can say blit what we shall be turned out at once. Heaventalone. knows where we shall find a shelter to-morrow.' Perhaps nit der the open heaven!" She began to sob vie lently.. . Little Ferdinand. who until now had not mo ved, came forward and weeping said-- • Mother..do not ery,sn'hitterty—or else I can not taik to you.' Do you not knoW what father paid, as he - died there on that bed !" Do not Weep.io: he said ; .'God is a fattier to poor wi& owe and orphans. Call ripen him in' thy distress, and he will sid.theit.' That is What liattaid, and is it not true then 1" Yes, my dear said the- mother, •• ii is -- true 1" • Well," ,aid the h0y,... why do you weep so long, then? Pray to God, and-fie wiil 'help you." ; , Good child, thou art right!". said his mother; and her tears flowed less bitterly,and comfort was mingled with her sorrow. She folded her firms, and raised. her moist eyes towards heaven and Ferdinand folded his little hands also, and looked upward ; and the bright moon shone upon mother. _ and child. .And the mother began to pray, and the boy re pealed every'iivord after her. "Great Father-in Heaven." she said,• a look down upon a pooC.,mother end her child—a poor • ,idow and a poor . orphairs'elie their eyes to thee.

Heaven; and was silent.. The 4 boy; who yet stood with! folded hands, suddenly exclaimed, with outstretched fingers— • . '• Mother; look! Whet is that? Yonder moves a light;--yonder flies a tittle star. Look, them it hurries by the window! . Oh, see now it come in! [Tow, Might and beautiful it shines ! Look, only look! •it has a greenish light.

It will not .burn thee," said his mother, and she laughed, while the tears still' 'streamed ddcin her cheeks: Catch it, and examine it closer. It is one of the.' wonders of God's Almighty pOwer." . . The. boy, entirely. forgetful of Ilia sorrow, at once tried to catch the Fperkling fire.fly, now on the flour, now under the table, now' under the chair. • Ab, me, svhal a pity !" said the boy ;. for just as he bad stretched out his hand to grasp the bright-insect,. it new behind the great chest that mood ,against the taroll. He looked- under the chest. • - • "f see it plainly enough," he said ; "there it is, Close against the wall ; and the white 4all, and the floor, end every bit of dust near it shines as if the moot, shone upon it ; but I cannot reach it My arm is not long cnotigb." , " Have petienci," said his mother, " it will soon come out again."• The boy waited a little while, and then came to tits mother,. end' said, with- a' soft, imploring voice— • Mother, do you get it Out far me, or. move the often if little from the well, end I can easily catch The moth!4 rose!, moved the chest from the' wall. and the hoy took the quiet fire fly, examined it in the hollow of his little hand, and was deligh, led with it. But his Lather's 'attention was attracted by a different object. • As she - moved the -chest some thinp.which had stuck between it and the wall, fell upon the floor. She uttered - a loud cry - as she picked it up. Ati!" she exclaimed, t. no 4 our trouble is over. That is last year's account book, which (- have so long'looked for in vain.

Who would have. thought that the account book stuck behind the great chest Which we took., with the cottage, and which fiss,not been moved since we bought it." She at mice lighted a lamp and turned-over leaves of the account book, while tears of joy sparkled in her eyes.
