Drawing pictures on the slate,

Such it part of childhood's game,
ioiiocuut of weultb or fame.
Blowing peucil dust away,

Looking out for market day,
When comes home an extra pie,
Such is part of childhood' fun,

Tney tuny reject it, ltatb," she said to rue
onn day. "l'hey reject tnapy pictures. "
Lh.d not known that : to me till now thut
uuknowti "Academy" whither it was goue had
been a boundless repertory, deceiving Ibis
new ides, I drew toward my godinollie r with
u strange sympathy. Of lute I had begun
dimly to guess what Noel's success or Noel's
failure were to her. l'rotu that day forward '
we looked und wailed fur uews logulhor. it I
was hard for her, 1 think, but in her anxiety !
she had no oilier companionship than mine. 1
A fler throe weeks I he decision came. lit
I came iu a loiter which had lo lis with hi u 1

I cried. I was sorry from the bottom of uiy
1 heart.
l or many days after this night, throughout
the house there was an undefined anxiety and
restlessness. My godmother Lnd been deep
ly grieved, but Noel was unhappy with a bit
Ul sorrow tu which her s bore no parallel.
He never spoke of his disappoint u. cut : it
would huvo boon, beiur if he bad ; but he
brooded ever it until ho wore bis strength
1 away, blonly. but surely, he beculne bodily
ill : He grew so gaunt aud thiu, that, wilh his

could help il: he could not rest. Heworked
until he could work no more. Cue night,.'
when Mrs. Krick.ou and 1 were sitting alone j
together, in the silcuce thero came a soui:J
above us- the powerless full of something on
tbe ground. It was Noel who had Taiuted at
1 l.i.n ii ns... I rm.Tfted I
him in his h-,1 n,l L did n,.t ri... fen,., it
C1I A l'TKK IV.
1 did net know il then, Hut 1 Have learnt
since tbut there are strange luroing point! iu
life. We do uot walk forever upon one
straight road forward. Sometimes wbeu we
suspect its cowing least, our eveu course is
cut across by a new path, and we turn sharp
aside, to the right Land or to the left, into
darkuess ar light. Wbeu it was pust, 1 knew
Iu at Nool'i illuets bad opened such a path to
me.
bwifily, at once, we entered iuto tbe very
presence of tbe Shadow of Death. Even dow
at 1 look back, there is something iu the re
membrauce of those first days wbeu Noel wai
struck down that 1 still shriuk from oud shi
ver at. It wai not ordinary paiu it wai as
if tbe boose bud been swiftly struck with
darkness. The various incidents aud inter
ests of our daily life ceased utterly before it.
aiuddeuly, imperiously, iu one single eey, all
thougbti and hopes tod fears seemed set for
we witbio tbe walls of that room 1 never en
tered, tod upon the aspect of thai face 1 Do
ver saw.
For uioe days and uights he was "sick unto
death." (July wb.o our hope bad sunk to its
last ebb, tud our fear bad growa to be as a
great shadow "a thick darkoess that could
be fell" did lbs light at lasl come back to us
Cue Bight 1 bad been wandering about the
bouse tbe whole night through, listening,
hourly, to ettcb the first souud of tbe cry
that should toll me that tbe ud bad come.
Hour followed boar till dawn, and it was not
ottered. When il was morning 1 went to
tbe passage beside bis room. Tbe door was
open. As 1 stood, 1 saw the curtaiued bed
within. saw my godmother, too, sitting by
its side. I bad been waiting, knowing noth
ing, all lb oigbt: I could oot go away. I
stood io the doorway till the raised bar bead
and sa tne, and beckoned to rue to come.
lie ess lyifty spinj ribrt it was,
exhaustion, and not repose ; but the struggle,
at least ho ccused. The brow was unknit
the lips were still : if it was nothing more, the
thing that had come was, at least, peace.
l)ul it was more. I crept nwav again noise
lessly as 1 had entorod, nnJ did not see bis
I luce ag.iiu ; hut during that rrsuess uigni
j that hud departed, the crisis had coiue, and
i jO.) had spared hint. Looking buck new, 1
j enn still feel the rolling buck through the sue
' ceeding days of thot great fear the lifticg up
j one by one, of the folds of that dark curtain.
When 1 next saw him it wus on an early
summer afternoon, i.nd he had come, for the
! first time, into our common silling room", and
was lying near the west window where 1 had
grown accustomed to sit. I had not spoken
one word to liim sinro I hut April evening
when he had fallen ill.
I went up to his couch, and put out my
Laud to bitrt.
"Cousin Noel, I am glad to sets yon hern."
' "I am glad, too," ho answered, cheerfully.
"I thnnk you. liuth !"
As I stood by him he looked so worn aud
wan, so changed and helpless. 1 had meant
to ssy something more to him, nnd on tho
' sudden 1 found 1 coulu not: somelhiog rose
j iu my throat and choked n.y voice, otrangu-
ly alk'Cled, 1 went away troni turn, anil eut
dowu alooe. T was half glad : 1 was half cry
ing. could not have thought once, oven a
few weeks ngo, that any word or look of Noel
Krieksou's could ever hnvu moved li.e so.
1 sul all through that ulinaoon busily
bending over my work. Noel kad to be kept
iuiet, anil neither he nor my g 'dinolher spoke
much. Once she read to bun for a tittle
while: it was from u a book whom Damn I
did nut know, which spike of things that 1
had never thought of, and pierced into places
where 1 could nut follow ; yet its fervor and
lis passionate words caught my ear,
aud !
sometimes my heart, strangely.
When l!i i a'lu had set she ceu.sed to read,
and wu were till idle. 1 ruiucuiber il was a
ImMtl.les-, wai ui h ied evening, and the
church wiuJuws eliowed crim.uii stars i.f light

"Lulle Kulh," be said, as he held u y Land
"I know you have been veiy kind nil llirouyh j

1 was l. fl alone a miuufe afterwards, aud I
sal dowu in my placu uguiti, and the hnuds 1
pressed aguinsl my face wen; wetted by Iwo

'Noel, wdl you lot rno lead to yoe ?
1 asked feanug to be denied. 1 expected,
l loa6,t' Hesitation before be would accept
mo' i''t-'d f Hesitation or deuial, there
con." oyly this simple answer :
" I Hack yo,u. Kulh, flud he gave tho book
ulJ Hulllls.
I 1 tu' " D fead to him. I read for ttU
bour, sitting neur Him low, uaor hit feet
wit ll no living cteuture between him and me.
Koader, 1 was happy ; aud the happiuess
of that hour made mo bold. Wheu I gave
him back the bonk, I said that il u.ado me
glad to be allowed to read lo bim.
He looked al rue as I spoke.
"Does it, Kuth ?"
' Noel, I have never been able to do any-
thing for yon before."
"1 did uot know isal you cared to do any
thing."
"No ; but I o care."
My voice was very low.' Had I been less
near lo Him I do uot think be wuold have
beard it. As it was. he did bear, for be an
swered tne.
"You may be my reader from this time, if
you will, Kuth."
. ".May I ? Ull, 1 f hull be glad !"
I felt the color Bush into my face with joy
lie said do more ; but I weut away to m-y
place contented. ( took possessioa of my of
fice from that bour.
No day passed after this on which I did uot
read to bim. I wakened every morning,
knowing that the hours bud, at least, id store
for me this one sure joy. 1 wailed pstieutly
through all the intervening time, assured that
this oue bour would come.
I read a book to bim full of strange aud
wonderful things. To me, at lonsl, it seemed
all wonderful, for I was a very child in the
great world of learaiog. 1 bad grown up like
one within four prison walls, tuiukisg that
those prisoa walls were tbe earth's limits;
aud till now, I kever knew that, beyond those
straightened boundaries, and free to tbe whole
of Cud's creation, lay treasure in heaps Dot
to be couuted, of glorious and uniuiagcd
tbiugs. I woke to Ibis new knowledge bow
si out arises out of sleep. I read, aud new
thoughts dawned upou me with slrsuge rle
iijiBt, auu pain, uuti wouuer. i read wun aui
tbe sgncrarct of a 10..-.I. and 'l Its fa.'.e
read till new influence stole upon mo like a
veil of light, and all the world seemed dyed of
a" new color, that changed its grey to crimson
and its (latknrps to burnished gold.
I read to Noel : but t was bis reader, find
nothing more. Iff died to tbuuk me at the
close of each day's iterice, but he rever spoke
about tlti book we road. Of what he thctiglit
of il ; of whether it stirred him ns it stired
me; or whether ho believed it, I knew nothing.
I bora this ignnritiice at first passively ; pre
sently 1 bore, it, growina feverish under it;
finally, I rebelled ngainst It. Ho might be
above mo high as the sky was ohove thi earth,
yet I was not utterly inanimate cluy. lie
might f peak one word to uie , I was not wood,
that I could not understand.
When lio would not speak, at last I spoke
to him. 1 chose n moment when, one day. I
had beeu reading till my cheek burned with
an excitement thnt took cowardice nwoy. In
that moment I raised my head.
Noel," I cried, "is it true ';"
My question startled him ; for an instat.t
he was surprised ; then :
"You must judge for yourself, Ktith," he
said. I'ut uiy lips once uucluscd, I could
speak now.
"How can I judgn for myself when I know
nothing? And 1 do not want to judge," 1
cried, passionately; "! want to believe."
"You have what you want there," he said ;
"you do believe,"
"Yes ! 1 telieve 1 but I bavo no ono to tell
me if 1 am right. 1 mil believing like a child
not knowing trulh from falsehood."
I was speaking like a child, too, passionate
ly nnd petulantly; and be itin.le uo reply. Iu
the silence that followed, my momentarily
excited c.iurrto passed away. I bad spoken,
and what bud my speaking gained for me?
Deeper than hcfi.ro the color Hushed to u.y
cheeks: in humilily and puin my eyes tilled
l Willi hot leatf.
1 would have returned to the hnuU again,
' but tbe words swntr before tne ; I could not
! go ou till my tears went back. 1 t looking
j clown upou a pae ; and us I so sat, Noel's
voice came ti'i" to uie.
j "limb," bo said, gently,
what do you
want J '
Hut my words were gor.o then ;
I could
only answer
"Nothing never mind nothing now," and
I would hui iieiily have begun to read, but as
1 commenced, be interrupted me.
"liutii," he said, quickly, "1 am often blind
and selfish, so that I do not seo things that I
ought to know, lint I am not wedded to my
faults. I am a taciturn, morose, unloveable,
man ; but I do not tni.( to be feared. J do
not want to bo left forever to my own
thoughts. Itulh. do not ioi. be afraid of me.
I eli me. BL'.i:n. w hat vou were r?oirnr to snv
