A small brown cottage etood on the roadside opposite an eld mill From tbe door yon could see tbe great wheel slowly turnrng. Tba miller's family lived in the brown collage. Shall I tell roil how many were in this family ? Just three. " ' There was no moiber in the rail ler's lro-.vn cottage; only two little girla and a buby. One month afro the mother's early life faded and flick ered, aa you hare seen tbe fight of a lamp when the oi! was consumed. Then it ent out, and there were tears asd grief iu the browa cottage. Aa fjr t'te nwther, sorrow and sick ness hid made Jj-ith heart and body ! weak. For a lan time before sue jdicd, a great shadow rested on her life a shadow that grew darker day by day. Idt she was laving and holy, and ia ilia own ood time, the Lord clotcJ her tearful eyes in tufa lower world 'tha; he might open them in lleavca. "And so she wcut to dwell with the angels "Where was tbe baby's father?" I hear asked. ' "Did he net love and care for it j and f r hi? two H:t!e girl.-, a!k!" I S'liJ that a diado A- rested on the poor mother's heart a shadow that jrrew darker every day. The shadow rests onmany hearts. The miller had onee beea tbe kindest of busbands and tbe teadercst of fathers. What changed him? Drisk! Yia know too well what that means. " lOnce hetouk a glass of beer only now and tbea ; not that it made him feel any better, bul really worse, for it produced a heaviness of head and limbs that were Terr unpleasist v bile it lasted. Sometimes a bead aibe was the consequence. iui others drank beer, and be joined iu tbe useless and unsafe custom. . After a wbile, this uu wholesome stuff so changed the bealiby, natu ral state of bis stomach, that it began to crave the bitter and btimulating draught. Tbea be drank oftener; which, of course, only made it worse increasing tbe unhealthy condition, and likewise the craving that could nerer be tuiipfied oo, not even vith beer; and so at times whiskey, gin and brandy were taken. These ied to ruin by a quicker way than ale or beer; because tbey' are more Sery and burn with a fiercer fliine. You can understand now why a shadow bad rested on tbe mother of these children ; and why itbad grown I darker every day. , Tbe baby was a year old. ilester; or lietiy, as tLe was called, the had just passed her tenth, birthday ; and Mary was seven. So young and motherless. At Erst though it seems as if it would bave been better for them to be falberless also. Bat God knows what is best always. His tender care was over these little one?, and over their father, too. Now that baby was one of the love lies; things aiive so sweet and pure; so gentle, and yet so full of luf.ntile joy ; and so winning in all bis ways that none cuuld belp loving him. Tiiis neighbor and that ofiered to take bim when bis mother died; but iietty, wbobadeemed to grow into a woman all at once, said, "No, no, I can't part from baby.". Then 8 lady who bad no children took tbe half-drunken, wretched fath er aside, and talked to him nntil be consented to let her have the baby to bring up as' her own. She wanted to carry bim right off; but the miller! said, "So ; not uctil to-morrow." ' '-Belter let me tafee Bim now, urzed tbe lady. For Hetty's sakcy tbe miller re peated bis "No." lie knew bow great was ber love for tbe baby, and ttere was enough of tenderness left ia bis heart to keep bim from adding ibis to ber grief oa tbe day cf ber mother's barial. Now it happened that Hetty, un known to her fatter and tbe woman, bad beard what passed between tbem. At first she was almost beside herself wiib paia. It was as much as ber heart could bear to lose ber mother and she fell that to take baby also would ' just kill ber.'? Tbe funeral over, all tbe seifrbbo-s went borne except two more tender hearted and pitying than tbe rest. It seemed cruel to tbem to turn their backs upon these two little girls and; the sweet laby left "motherless. One of them had been a very dear! friend of the miller's wife, and fhv grieved for her Joss as that of a be loved sister. Taking Hetty by the hand, end leading ber into ber , mother's room, now so still and desolate, she sbat the door, and patting ber arms abont: and shared in ber delight tbe child, burst into tears, and wept: t "Oh, bat won't he look sweet!" she over ber for a long time before sne; exclaimed, as she opened and admir could get calm enough to speak. ' ed the beautiful baby-clothes, finer "I want to talk with you, Hetty," - than anything he had ever worn, she said at length,; as she sat down "Father will be home soon," she and composed herself.

Raising tbem quick ly, after a moment, be replied : "If they'll only let me keep the baby, Mrs. Wilder V The tbougbt of bis being taken away same back so vividly to tbe miad of Hetty tbat she conltl not bear it; nr lips quiv ered, and sbe burst into tears once more;. -it et , , "I thought jrooi vera going to keep Uini," said tbe neighbor. t-i t: "Mrs. Florence " wants bint, and says she'll take him fast as it be was twrown." -. , ..? OS "I didn't know tbat," remarked tbe neighbor. "If t torts Florence will take him " -" ' e "It was very kiad in ber," said Hetty,', interrupting! : tbe sentence, "and I ant sure ekawwonid be good to him. But iDdee Mrs. Wilder, I can't let bim o.

"Mary and you 1 Why Mary Ms only seven years; old." said tbe neighbor. , r : :-! '- - "She's a bandy thing for all tbat. Oh, we can get along, if they won't take baby." -. - -. . : ' "What does your father say to it? Has Mrs. Florence spoken to bim ?" "Yes; I beard tbem talk it over. Mrs. Florence wanted to take baby rixhtoff; but father said wait until to-morrow." . . . . "It would, perhaps, be better for the baby " . : -. It wouldn't ba better for any body," spoke ent , Hetty in a stroBsr and decided maniror. "And panic n- larly it wouldn't be for father." : "Why not for yoor father ?" leu Mrs. Wilder. ' . Hetty's face grew hot and then pale ; and ber voice cheked a little af first as she answered .... ! "Yoa" know eodut father, . liow dreadful it is. It' will get worse if the baby goes Im sure . of that. He loves baby. "And now mother's gone. I hve "thought bis liking baby so might bvp to to " . Hetty' paused, site could not speak the word that-was. on ber tongue bu, tbe ueighbot? understood ber. , "You are a wise little girl,", said Mrs. Wilder, laying ber hand on tbe child's bead U'uderly, "and in tbe right,' I'm tiMBtfogcV Sow tell, me freely alt tbat is ia your mind." "It's jusi this, i!rs. Wilder," said Hetty, her manner taking on tbe thoughtful seriousness of a woman. "Father loves baby, and now tbat mother's gone he will feel softer to wards ns all. Mary and I will do everyMng to make it comfortable for bim ; 94 we'll always keep baby Inking S'j sweet and clean tbat he'll love :o vouie borne just to see bim, in stead of going to the tavern when be shuts down tbe mill. If Mrs. Flor ence would give baby a nice wbile frock ; and one with a pink or a blue spot in it; and a pair of new shoes, I cou'd keep bim looking, Ob! so lovely. Father could bot belp com ing right home from he mill to see bim. Mrs. Wilder," Hetty continu ed, growing warm and hopeful, "but father night stop drinking altogeth er?. Oh I if Mrs. Florence would do this, and not thick of taking baby away!" ' I'll ree Mrs. Florence, and talk with ber," said Mrs. Wilder, as Het ty stopped speaking. "Will you ! Ob, do please, and at ouce ! Tell her it won't be good for 03 to let baby go." Mrs. Florence, when all this was related to ber, was deeply moved. She bad lost a dear baby two years before, and tbe clothes it used to wear bad been folded away ia a bu reau drawer untoncbed since then. . "The dear child shall bave her way," sLe answered. Then going to tbe drawer, into which she bad not looked for many months, she took ont tbree almost new frocks, one of white muslin and two of delicately figured chintz ; also tbree pairs ot stockings, a pair of morocco shoes, and some nnderciotbing, and sent tbem to tbe motherless baby. Oa the next day the miller, sober ed by tbe loss of. his wife, kept away from the tavern, and tried to settle in ' bis micd what was to be done. He bad promised tbe baby to Mrs. Florence, bat baby had given bim so tiirht a bug as be kissed and, parted from bim at breakfast time, that be felt hi dear little arms clinging around bis neck all tbe mornin aa he went abont the milL How could be let Dim go: Ana uettv was good and tbougbtful, and so fond of baby, it wonia ore as Her Heart to give him up. "What a bandy little girl Hettv is !'' tbe miller said to himself, as be remembered bow nice a breakfast she bad got for bim, and bow clean and orderly everything was about tbe boose. As it drew towards noon tbe mil ler began to feel s little anxious aboct bis promise to Mrs. Florence. She was to bare baby tbat day. What if she bad come for him al ready, and tbat when he went bom at dinner-time there should be no baby to. spring into his arms, and hug him around tbe neck. In the meantime Hetty bad re ci ived the handle of clothes, and with tbe bundle Dad come a message from Mrs. Florence, saying that she a coaaga uer mma aeout isaing the baby. "Oh, darling ! darling ! exclaimed Iietty, almost wild with joy, bagging and kissing tbe babj. who crowed and laughed and hugged and kissed her in return, as if he understood ArilIiri5IS77. fled aprooaod tit.np tbe sleeves witb blue ribbons. He'll look so sweet that father will hardly know bim." .So baby was washed and dressed in his new clothes, and I can tell yon ha did look lovely. There was not a handsomer babv in all tbat neighbor hood. "lie's going to sleep," said Mary who saw bis eyes beginning to droop. "Ob ! I wish he'd stay awake until father comes." Bat even as she spoke the long; dark lashes' Wl lower nntil they rested on his cheeks. J' "You hold him nntil I put oa a clean pillow; case." And , Hetty placed tbe Bleeper' in her sister's arms., 'A soiled "pillow case was changed for one of Snowy whiteness, and baby laid upon tbe bed where only a few days before his mother bad slept the sleep from which none ever awaken in this world. " now lovely be was ! - No wonder the II f tie sisters lingered about the bed, so entranced by his beauty tbat it seemed impossible to tear themselves away.',. , : , "Father, Is coming.T said Mary, who had toroed her eves to tbe win dow.;.'. ' ".- Hetty looked out and saw bim crossing tbe road. Hi steps were quicker and firmer than usual. "I want him to see baby all alone by himelL" And Hetty as she spoke drew Mary from the room. They heard a low exclamation of surprise from their, father when he entered, and then all was still still i for so long a time tbat Hetty began to wonder, and then t reel uneasy. At last, pushing open the door, soft ly, she looked in, and saw her father on bis knees by the bedside, his face buried in tbe clothes. A tittle wbile she stood almost holding her breath. She was about closing tbe door, when bo lifted his face from tbe bed clothes, and fixed his eyes on the baby. Tears wet bis cheeks. How fondly, tenderly, almost reverently, did he look at tbe sleeping child, pure as an an gel A slight movement crew his at tention to Hetty. He looked at her a moment ami then s.iid : "Call your littlo sister, my dear." The two children went up to him. He took them .ia.h:'s. arras, still koeel ipg,.and triedio speak to them. Bat sobs choked back the words be. would Lave uttered. At last, in the anguish of repentance, and in half despair of bis own strength, he cried ont : ' "O Lord and . Savior, help me to be a father indeed to these molLer less little ones!"' Then a deep qu'et fell npon them a stillness as if each listened for an audible answer to tbe almost wildly spoken prayer. He'ty was the first to break tbe silence. "Dear father," she said kissing him, and tenderly stroking his cheek, we'll do everything, Mary and I, to make it nice for yon at home. And we'll keep baby as nice and sweet and clean as tbe richest baby in the laud. Oh ! isn't be a darling !" Then thej all arose and bent over tbe sleeping baby, and, though death bad just taken their dearest one away, it was a long time since the waves of happiness had flooded tbeir hearts so deeply as now. Tbe shadow that lifted that day did not fall again. Tbe miller bad dragged himself, by a strong effort, tbroogh strength given him from Heaven, out of a worse slough than Christian sank in ere be reached tbe Wicket Gate. Once more on firm ground, love for his baby tbat grew more winning every day, and love for his good children, Hetty and Mary, who never tired doing for tbeir father, God used as tbe means of keeping bis feet in tbe safe ways of sobriety. He never again gave way to drink, bot shortly after became a new creature. in Christ Jesus. Harrow at.aJw.aya, In his paper on "Village Improve ment Associations" (Sceib.ner for May), Colonel Waring advocates narrow roadways. He says: The great expense of Macadamiz ing or Telfordiziag puts these sys tems out of the reach of small com munities. Wherever tbe original ex pense can be borne, the subsequent cost of maintenance will be so slight, and the result generally will be so satisfactory as to make it always a good investment. Tbe circumstances under which these forms of construc tion may be adopted will be greatly extended - if we can overcome the prevalent American prejudice in fa vor of wide roads. Against wide streets there is as a rnle no objection, though exceptional narrow and well shaded lanes have a rural charm that will always commend them to per sona ot taste. A wide street, that is, broad spaces between fences, by n 3 means implies a broad roadway.1 All we need in the principal thorough fare of a busy village is sucb a width as will allow of the easy passing of vehicles in the middle of tbe road,) and tbe standing of one vehicle at rest at each side. This will be ac complished even in the business street of a village by a width of roadway ot thirty feet. Under most other circumstances twenty feet of road way will be ample. This will allow of the moving of three vehicles side by side and will give a leeway of six feet between two vehicles passing each other. In tbe island of Jersey, there are many excellent roads only six feet wide. These are provided with fre quent little bays or turn-outs to al low teams to pass each otber. Al though such extremely narrow roads are, not to be recommended, tbe dif ference in comfort and economy of team-power between tnese and tbe average American dirt road is enor mously in their favor. The widest roads in Jersey, leading from a busy town ot thirty thousand inhabitants into a thickly settled fanning region, where bosinese and pleasure travel ia very active, and where excursion cars carrying thirty or forty persons are constantly passinr. are only twenty-fonr feet wide ; often only of this width between . the hedge rows, the road itself being an excel lent foot-path for lis whole width. Nowbere else ia tbe world is the rural charm more perfectly develop ed than in Jersey, and no element of iu beauty is so conspicuous aad so constantly satisfactory aa iu narrow and embowered lanes aad roadways. Hemic A Canatry Schawl. When I was a little girl. I went to a little school, which was kept by a very little lady, in a very little house Tbe little lady herself lived in anoth er little bouse, which was divided from tbo Iitue school bouse only by a little garden. 1 did not know then how little the houses, and tbe garden, and ruy school-teacher were. Miss Caroline seemed large and powerful to me ; and s for ber ferule, it lookod larser ti me than tbe bs trees of California looked when I saw tbem a few years ago. But when I went back, a grown woman, to my old home, and walked past Miss Caroline's cottage and the little old school bouse, I hardly could believe my own eyes, everything was so tiny; and I could bave picked Miss Caro line up under my arm. Tbe fcnool bouse bad been a shoe maker's shop once, and some of tbe shoe-maker's furniture bad been left in it. There was tbe bench on which he used to sit and work ; this had a little open box at oae end, where he used to keep bis tools; this bench stood in the middle ot the room, in front of Miss Caroline's desk, and all the classes sat on it to recite their lessons. The end which had the open box on it was called tbe "head" of the class. Once I kpt op "at the head,""in spelling, a whole week, and I jrrew so nsed to having bold oftbe edge of the box, and slipping my fingers back and forth on it, that when I lost my place, and Lad a boy or a rirl on my left side, I had bard work not to keep all tbe time taking hold of their arms, instead of tbe box. There used to be also a lit tle drawer under tbe bench, at this end; bot Miss Caroline had tbat taken off, after she found out tbat it was there Ned Spofford hid tbe "spit balls" be used to fire up and dowry all the classes be recited in. Ob, what a bad boy Ned Spofford was ? , But bow we all did like him ! Even Miss Caroline herself, I think, liked bim better than any other scholar in all the school ; and yet be jrave her twir as niurh trouble aa all the oth er scholars put together. But he was so pood-natared and affectionate tbat nouotiy couia neip lovmjr mm, in pite of his mischief." " He never re sisted nor struggled when she had to punish him. I really think he got feruled as often as once a week ; but be used to hold out bis hand tbe min ute she told bim to, and look straight into her eyes while she struck him. Sometimes he would bite bis lips, and tbe tears would come into his eyes, but be never cried, nor begired off, as tbe rest of us did. He was as brave as be was mischievous. Even when he had to sit on tbe dance-stool for twenty minutes with his mouth wide open and a piece of corn-cob set firm Iv between bis teeth, he never cried; This wa3 Mii8 Caroline's worst pun ishment. I think if she herself had tried it once, to see how much it hurt, she never would have bad tbe heart to inflict it on us. At first when she wedged in tbe piece of cob, yon felt like Iaaehing that anybody should think such a thin? as tbatconld be so much of a punishment; but pretty soon your jaws began to ache, and then the bark of your neck ached, and then tbe pain reached up into the back of yonr head, and into your ears, and it became real torture, there was not a single boy in school that eoold bear it without the tears streaming down his cheeks except Ned SpoSVrd. Miss Caroline very rarelv did it to eirls; I th'nk no one bnt Sarah Kellog? and I ever had it. We were the worst jrirls in school j we two and Ned Sooffo-d were tbe three black sheep in Mis3 Coroline's little flock. Sirfioln? for May. A are-dale ml Thast. Ktevraa. Tierce M. E.
