THE AC IT ATOK
VOiLl£
One of the most difficult of earthly achieve
ments was the transportation by Napoleon, of
an army of 60,000 men with the cavalry, ar
tillery and all the munitions of war, across
the Alps. He wished to’descend suddehlyias
from the' clouds, upon the immense force of
Austrians gathered in Italy -for 'the -invasion
of France, Two skillful engineers 'Were first
sent to explore the pass of the Great St. Ber
nard. They returned with an appalling ac
count of the difficulties to be
"Is it possible,” inquired Napoleon, to cross
the pass.” “ Perhaps,” was the hesitating
reply, “it may be within tho limits of pot-',
sibiliiy.” “ Forward then," was the energetic
response. . ,
On,the eastern frontiers of France there
surges up the majestic range of the Alps, pier
cing tho clouds to the regions of perpetual
ice and snowr>Gloomy gorges and frightful
defiles, through which mountain torrents rush,’
are walled in by cliffs Whibh'even the chamois
cannot climb. The principal' pass was that of
the Gre'at St. Bernard. It was a narrow mule
path, as steep .as it was possible for an animal
,to ascend. The-traveller, led by a guide, pain
fully and perilously ascended the steep, now
crossing a roaring torrent, and now threading
a narrow shelf, on the face of the rock,- with a
fathomless abyss upon the one side,-.where
eagles soared over the fir tops beneath bis feet,
and where a perpendicular wall rose to -a. giddy
height in the clouds over his head. )
- A false step would precipitate him a thou
sand"feet’into tfce gulf beneath. Avalanches;
of rock, ice arid snow, from the inaccessible
heights ever swept the path. At God’s voice
they fell, and from their rush no precautions
could save the traveller. Terrific storms swepjt
these altitudes,- blinding and smothering afl
who were caught in their fury. It required
.two days of almost inexpressible toil for the
traveller to'reach the summit of the puss, eight
thousand feet above (he level of the sea. |
Here there -was a small plain, cheerless bee
yond description, the abode of almost eternal
winter, where scarcely a shrub appears, and
which is surrounded by mountains of snow of
still higher elevation. In this Valley of Deso
lation, as it is appropriately cabled, rim Coat
vent of St. Bernard stands. -It is the highest
inhabited spot in Europe, and has been lent
anted for more than a thousand years, by, self
denying monks, who acceptably, doubllessj
worship their Maker by furnishing hospitality
to the travellers passing through these dreary
regions. The descent to the sunny fields of.
Italy is even more precipitous and difficult than
the ascent from the plains of France. The
whole extent of what was called the pass,
threading tortuous ravines and climbing cliffs,,
was about twenty miles.
Sudrwfts the barrier which Napoleon intend
ed to surmount, that he might fall unexpectly
upon the rear of the Austrians, who were bom
barding Genoa, and thundering at the gates of
Nice. Giving Moreau all the disciplined troops
of France, 150,000 in number, to repel the ad--
vancc of the Austrians upon the -Rhine, Napo
leon collected, "with amazing celerity, 60,000
raw recruits for this most arduous of enterpri
ses. T.o deceive his foes h'e announced openly,
that he intended to send an army across' the
Great St. Bernard. England -and ; Austria
laughed idea to scorn. It was deemed im
possible thhtan army with ponderous artillery,
tons of cannon, balls, and all the .bulky .muni
tions of war could he transported .whete a
wheel had never rolled, and wherea mule could
with difficulty tread, and where two mules
could hardly pass abreast.
The troops were secretly collected in the vi
cinity of Dijon, but so dispersed as not to at
tract special attention, and yet in such a man
ner tbat-they could easily be assembled at tbe
entrance of the pass. Immense stores of pro
, Visions were noiselessly accumulated. Large
sums of specie were forwarded to hire ,lhe ser
vices of the mountaineers. Able mechanics j
were employed to take apart the baggage wag-!
,ons and’gun- carriages, so that they .might be
•transported-in fragments, on the badks.ot mules
across the mountains, and he - speedily put,to
gether on the other side. Hospitals were pro
vided with.esery comfort for the sick and the
Wounded. Every man carried, besides his gun
and ammunition, several days? rations". The
.•siguous .path was so narrow that much of the
way-it could only be trodden in single file.
About the middle, of May, 1860, the whole
a rtsy was pot in motion. ■ To transport the
beavy cannon, {fine logs were split in the cen
ter the parts bolloried out and the guns • sunk
into the grooves. A long string uf moles, in
single fils, dragged these ponderous engines up
the steep acclivities. Often -a hundred men

; were harnessedtp ft gun. The -peasants took
hold of this laborious work with' great' zeal.— ;
Napoleon gave them two- ■hundred dollars for
taking a gan over the With Trorigs and
glee they togged at the ropes. Gleaming
through theimistsiof there almost inaccessible
heights, there was the.-fiash :pf banners wad
barpished arms, resembling phantom ' troops
battling in theair. !
The ebldier found, to bis surprise and gratifi
cation, that, upon the summit of the mountain,
his loved commander had Im.ade wonderful pro
visions for his refreshment An immense store
of bread and cheese and refreshing wine,—wine
not our miserable products of the still, but true
juice of, the grape, had been collected for the
occasion in the monastery. As the soldiers
passed,, each. ,ono without confusion,
a loaf -of brgnd,a piece of .cheese,, and a, gen-.
erous goblet of wine. Whenever, in'.any part
of the path, any special difficulty was, encoun
tered, thebugle, sounded 1 the charge, and the
soul stirring strains reverberating sublimely
among the cliffs animated the soldiers, and they
pressedpops if storming .entrenchments upon
the field of battle. But Providence seemed to
smile on the enterprise, and though some hun
dreds, men and horses, perished by avalanches
and the various casualties of the route, in four
days the whole army was’ assembled on the
plains of Italy. . General Berthier was sent
forward with the advance guard. Napoleon
remained behind personally to superintend the
passage of troops, and was the last man to
cross the mountain. One Solitary Swiss peas
ant as a guide, accompanied him, leading bis
ihule. The peasant was njot aware of the dis
tinguished dignity of his companion; and Na
poleon’s irrepressible sympathy with humanity
so won upon his confidence that he artlessly
revealed the’story of his love for a fair maid,
in his native village, whom he longed to
marry, but could not, as be had neither house
or land for the support of a family. Napo
leon, as be dismissed his guide, gave him an
ample reward, and in addition entrusted him
with n loose paper, containing a few lines writ
ten in pencil, which he was to give, on his re
turn to the other side, to the Administrator of
the army.
The.young man found, upon presenting the
paper, to his unutterable surprise and delight,
that it was Napoleon whom lie bad, conducted
over the mountain, and that the paper con
tained ah'order that there should be purchased
for him a field and cottage. : This'worthy peas
ant died a few years ago, having enjoyed du
ring his whole life,the peaceful home thus gen
erously conferred upon him.
The heroic little band, without an hour’s -de;
lay, advanced rapidly along the valley of .the
Aosta. Suddenly their inarch was arrested by
a fort which effectually swept the pass, between
almost overhanging hills, Napoleon hastened
to the front, and with his glass carefully
scanned the mountains. He perceived a ridge
beyond the reach Of the guffs of the fort, where
the soldiers could-pasairi single file, bill along
which the artillery. coold'not be drawn.' He
sent" his ' troops over the ridge',’ deceiving the
garrison in the fort with the idea that he would
attempt to take bis artillery by the same path.
Id a dark night, trusty men, with great cau
tion and silence, strewed hoy thickly upon the
road and theartillery and baggage train were
thus secretly passed along. Upon the face of
the opposite cliff, on a shelf which no hoof of
horse had ever trod before, the garrison of the
Fort of Bard had the mortification of seeing
Napoleon’s whole army defile beyond the reach
of their guns. The commandant wrote to Gen
eral Melas, who was at the head of the Austrian
force: , ■
“I have seen an army of 35,000 men and
4,000 horses creeping afong'.tbe face of Blount
Albaredo. But not one single piece ,of artil
lery has passed, or can pass beneath the guns
of my fortress.” ‘ ,
When he was writing this letter nearly all
[the guns of Napoleon had gone by, and like
the bursting of a pent up Jorrent wore rushing
idown the'valley. Meins'how awoke in con
sternation. But it was too late. Like a thun
jderbolt Napoleon fell upon him. gaining the
world renowned victory of Marengo.
. Affecting Scene. —A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing from Fortress
Monroe, under date of the 17 th ult., thus de
scribes an affecting scenq which occurred at
place:-r :' ;
j “Yesterday a very affecting inoident oc
curred. John W. Cross, from Bast Salem, Ju
niata county. Pa.,' private in the 23d Pa.-. Reg
iment, was dying.' Finding his voice failing, he
began to feel about gnder the bed clothing un
der bis head for something which he evidently
•wanted. In a moment he drew, forth a pack
age, which, unwrapped, revealed a daguerreo
type case. Dnclasping it, he gazed with filmy
eyes upon the faces of bis wife and two cbrl-
Aren. As death clutphed closer about his vi
tals, he banded .it to a gentleman connected
With the Washington Pennsylvania Soldiers’
Association, whispering, “Will you not send
itlhomef “ Tell my tcije it'was thelqsl object
l\gazed upon," and he was dead.
We looked at the. picture, and the tears
: came to pqr eyes. There was the. wife, a beau
tiful and happy looking being. There were
the two bright and joyous little creatures, the
.idols of father and mother. We sbu|t; up the
oase,and thought of them all, as the widow
and orphans, end. silently said, God will be
tbleir strength and support in this' time of trial
and need., , . : ,
Had his W its About Hitt.—-An Irishman,
drjren to desperation by ,tbe .stringency of tbe
money market and tbe high, price of pre
visions, procured a pistol and took UJ the road.
Meeting a traveller, he stopped him with:
.“Your money or your life 1” Seeing Pat was
keen he said: “I’ll tel! you what I’ll do, give
you my . money for that pistol.” “Agreed.”
Pal received the .money and handed over the
pis tab”—“Now,” said tbe traveller, “hand back
‘that money or I'll blow jour brains out,”
“Blaze away my hearty,” 'said Pat, “never a
drop of powther there’s in it.”

•Nevr y<srk, e>ty, refreshes his readerawith the
follpwing exhibition of practical Christianity
which came under his observation : ’
My journey to Boston Was as monotonous as
possible, imd the two hours detention there was
net practically exhilarating, -There .was- .no,
time to visit places of interest, and 1 felt too
misanthropic and gloomy for social intercourse,
although other gentlemen were waiting like
myself. More than once I> determined to go
home in .the return train, bnt I- was ashamed
to do that after Mery’s generous self sacrifice.
We were half way te Stonington before I be-,
gan to rouse up and look afound roe. I was
awakened by the cries of it-child, and I saw 7
that the seat inr front of me was oofcupied by a
young woman, plainly, but decemb dressed,
but with an expression- of her
face that-.instantly attracted me. .. She had a
baby in ker arms, arid another Ju'st big enough'
to walk, on the seat by her. He was;a bright 1
little fellow, with great, flashing black eye*, 7
and thick coils of chestnut burls clustering all
over bis head ; .but he did not seem to be woll,
and fretted’ continually for the soothing atten
tion that he saw bestowed on the more helpless
babe iff his mother’s arms. There were several
bundles and a carpet-bag piled one above the
other'oh the next seat its the window, and the
little boy in his restlessness, often displaced
them, and they came rolling down . upon the
floor. I would like to see the man w.hp would
not have succumbed and hauled down his flag
before a complication of such miseries.
The young mother bore up bravely. • While
hushing the baby, and lulling it- with p sweet
lullaby to temporary quiet, she contrived also
to coax the little boy’s curly head to' a pillow
on her knee, and thus doubly burdened, found
measures to divert bis attention with a cheap
picture book.
But the weather outside grew dark and un
pleasant. Thick clouds were gathering their
forces and the.wailof the 7 wind was often heard
above the noise of (lie engine. The anxious ex
pression of the mother’s face deepned as she
watched the ominous signs that foretold of a
efortriy night upon the Sound. There was a
quick, tremulous motion olf her lips si times, as
if she. werc-repressing the inclination to have
a ‘.'hearty cry”’oyer her troubles.
I bad just thought of what ,should .have oc-_
curred to me a long time before, that it was
possible for me to relieve lie of a part of'her
harden, and. was trying to drive myself out’of
my selfish isolation by calling up all the good
Samaritan thoughts that I bad ever used in my
sermons on practical benevolence, when an ac
cession of passengers at a! way station obliged {
me to resign my seat to a lady, who ‘actually
thanked me fur the civility.
Left again to myself, leaning against the door
of the car, I resumed the thread of contempla
tion that bad of .late become iiabitiual, and was
soon lost in ‘the old) weary labyrinth of j
tores in regard to the stele’ of’tny parish,' il* 1
spiritual desdness, land the measures to housed
to awaken any interest in religions things, I
grew more and sad and desponding gs I
meditated, and my cogitations were as fruitless
as ever. I did not again think of the babies
and their mother, till we were about leaving
the cars at Stonington. Happening then to
glance down the-car before getting oat, I saw
her looking about her in evident perplexity.—
The heavy rain was already pouring down, and j
the darkness ontsifle was not very attractive
even to unencumbered travellers.
I am ashamed to own that 1 did not offer my,
assistance. Mary says she will.nevor believe it
—that it is impossible fur human nature to be'
SO boorish, but the humiliating, truth must be
told. My own wretchedness and my sense of
utter uselessness in my profession made md al
most indifferent for the time to the claim of'hu :
inanity. • Still I was sensible of a feeling of
surprise, which gradually became indignation;
as I saw one lady after another unconcerned
pass by, and other gentlemen as heartless aa_
myself, ignoring her silent appeal to our gym-'
pathy. The car was emptied at last, though I
Still stood in the door, hoping to see another do
the Christian’s duty that I was so reluctant to
perform. ,1 ooyld nut leave her to her late, as
tbe rest had Qone.
Just then some one entered the door at the
other end, aind 1 saw the young woman look
eagerly around; She had again failed in the
efforts to strange babies and bundles for trans
portation to tbe boat. The new- comer was, a
stout looking, elderly mao, plain and almost
shabbily dressed, with a great shock of red hair
nearly lifting his hat from off his head, and a
round, fat face, deeply markedwith small-pox.
He was whistling a lively air, which seemed to
breathe a sort of whimsical defiance to tbe dis
comforts of the bleak, dark night, but he stopped
at once when be saw the helpless group before
him.
' “Going aboard, ma’am?”
“Yes, sir, hs soon'as I can.” .
“Good; so am L Let me eatry..this young
ster for yo.n. I've got one at homo just biseize.
Jehoaaphat 1 how nat’ral It seems’.” says-'th'e
man, as be lifted the boy up to bid shoulder.—
The child stopped crying and laughed gleefully.
“And those bundles; there are-yours, ma’am.
- “Yes, sir, • Thank yon, I ean carry those very 1 :
well.. I cau,' indeed.”
- “That depends.” -Ho bad already gathered
them in his arms, and wrapped ber thin shawl
mote closely;,round .the baby. “Now we’re
ready. Keep close behind me ma’am. It’s but
-a few steps;” J -
As they passed mo inthedoor.l teemed to
Awake from aborrid dream.' My anxiety and
morhidmelancholyvanisjiedi I aqpposa./tbay
could not stay in the atmosphere of, that man’s
~blunt cordial kindness. I envied the luxury in
doing what I"ought to have done. After all I
said to myself, there is real good in the world
■ —real Christian oharity, living piety and aolive
benevolence. I followed close . at the man’s
heels. We were jpstled sa little as we passed
through the throng, but we were soon safely on
hoard jost in time to avoid being left behind.
'‘Here we are. A nice ride you've .had toy
[little man;” fhenr was eomothlng absolutely
inspiring in tbat’roQgh -man's voice. “Now

down to the ladies’ cabin, for it rains ns if it

Sh&hesitatfcd. “No, sir. I thank you. You
have been very kind, hut my ticket is only for
a deck passage, and I have .no. money.*' I—l
should not have attempted such a journey sir,
without more means,bntT have just heard from
my husband, who is returning Gom- California
and is sick in New York. Ho did, not send for
me,, but I could not leave him to be nursed by
strangers.”. i
“Of Coarse you couldn’t. Bat you must not
stay here.- You'll catch your death if you do.
Wait till I see the Captain. I’ll fix matters for
you, never fear.", -
He trudged off to the Captain’s office, I still
following. Tbe.Captaiff glanced at the rough
man and his rough attire .carelessly, and list
ened without much interest to his story, till he
begged that the poor wofnan. might be allowed
to take her babjos into tbe cabin. Then ha as
sumed a very knowing look indeed. ' ! 1
“Is the lady a very particular friend of
yours?" he asked. , “Waftra importuned every
trip for especial accojnjnoldation for delicate la--
dies with gentlerneh friends on hoard, all as
poor as Job's- Turkeys., j We -Serve them all
alike, and give eaeh.person what he pays for."
."Look here, sir. _ There's no call to insult
anybody. You’ve had a fair, chance to act like
gentleman and a. Christian, but I never.quar
rel with a man if he prefers acting like a hea
then. How much do y'dii charge for a cable
passage ?” ■ "
“One dollar."
, "There's the money. I've jost got seventy
cents left. 1 will boy them a.littie supper, and
I can go without mine.”
Tha captain loqked a little aahamed. He
handed back a half dollar.
“I’ve no .doubt it’s all cheat and humbug,”
he said; -“but if yon are not telling the truth,
you lie so natural that it is worth fifty.cents to
hear youl” 1
“Thank you all the same,” was the reply, as
the coin so ungraciously offered was accepted.
I never saw a more grateful creature than the
poor young woman when she found that her
friend bad secured a shelter for her. She cried
with pleasure, and kissed' his great freckled
hknda in a transport of ; thankfulness. He
helped her to a comfortable seat, waited till a
tray of refreshments .was brought to her, then
giving the stewardess a trifle to secure all nec
essary attention, he left her-to enjoy tbe com
forts he bad provided. Ilia berth in the cabin
was just above mine, and though be kept me
awake half tbe night whistling softly, to himself,
qr humming tunes whenever be was not snor
ing, I forgave with all my heart. I wrote to
Mary-in the morning that I had found a curi
osity—a man with asoul as big as a cathedral.
A Traitob. —When yon beam man howling
about Abolitionists, write that man' down a
traitor,. . .
When you bear a man. denouncing, the con
fiscation of rebel property, lyou will err if you'
call biuf anything blit a traitor.
Wben yon berir a'mdff toilk about the’ con
stitutional rights of rebels,- you may be sure be
is a traitor,at\heart. . , !
When you bear a man calling this Lincoln’s
war, set him down as an unmitigated-traitor.
’ When any man tells you that the rebels are
fighting for their rights, yod -may safely mark'
him in the list of traitors, add you-may be sure
ho belongs to .that close who. told us in tbe be
ginning of the rebellion, that if there was
fighting to be done, they would fight -for the
South. " 1 - '. ‘ *
When you hear- a man denouncing the ad
ministration of Lincoln and! upholding that of
James Buchanan and .bis . traitor cabinet, set
him down as a black hearted traitor.
' When you hear a'man opposing the employ
ment of every loyal for the purpose of
putting down this rebellion,) you may rely on
it, that man’s heart is brimfull of treason and
that he would rather see Jeff, llavis triumph
than our Government be successful.
When you find a man who holds all these
opinions, and circulates them, you can say to
yourself that he would be safer in Fort War
ren than running at large among loyal men
This of course would not apply to loyal men.—

The CofiSß of Gold.— Many years since, a
sea-faring man called at a villagejnn on the
coast of Normandy, and asked fora supper and
a bed ; the landlord and landlay were elderly .
people and apparently poor. ,He entered into ■
-conversation with them to partake of his cheer |
—asked them many questions about themselves j
and their faaijly, and particularly of a eon who
bad gone to sea when a boy, and: whom they
bad long giyen over as dead. The landlady
showed him to his room, and when she quitted
him, he put a purse of gold into her hand, and
’desired her to, take care of it ti!) the morning,
pressed her affectionately by the bond and bade I
ber good night. She returned to her husband
and showed him the aocursedgold; for its sake
they agreed to murder the traveler in his sleep, 1
which they accomplished, and buried tbe body. ■
’ In the : mottling early came two or three re- 1
lations, and"asked in a joyful tone for the trav- j
eler who had. arrived the night before. Tbe old •
people seemed greatly confused, but said that j
he bad risen very, early and gone away. !
, “impossible,” said tbe relations. “It is your ;
own son, who is lately returned to France, and
is Comb ‘to make happy the evening of your
days, and ho -resolved to lodge with yon one -
nightasa stranger, tfaatfaa might -see -you un-;
known, and judge of,.your conduct, towards:
.wayfaring mariners.”,.
" Language would bo incompetent to describe,
the horror of tbe murderers, when they found
that they had dyed their hands in the blood of
their long lost-child; they confessed their crime,
tbe body was found, and the wretched murder
ers expiated their offence by being broken alive
upon the wheel..

IS T O. 7.
It was a cold day io November in the,city,;
if ——.' The wind sighed mournfully, and the 1
elect rattled against the windows, making a dig- 1
mai sound. All nature seemed to be
the - death of the flowers, and oven little Mnr’ciA
Anderson sighed as she looked out of a win-,
gow of her grand home, and thought how- long
\t would be before summer would come «goin. ; ; ,
And, as she gazed out upon the warring
ments, she noticed that a little boy,- barefoot
and ragged, sat upon the stone in front of the*
house. He was cry tag bitterly, In an instant
ape had sprung from her chair. The next shsl
was beside the lad, with her little armsaroandl
his neck.
“What ails you, poor little boy ?“ she asked.
"Ob, I am to hungry, and have, nath'ing'tp
eat. Mother and Bister are' starving, -Top,'
Mother can’t get any work, nor I can’t neither. 1
Oh, I wish I could 6ie \ sobbed the boy.
“Marcia! Harcial” called a voice, from
within: ' ■ 1
| “There’s mamma calling me/'said the child ;
"she don't like to have me talk to
dren; but papa says they are as good as we '
are." '
• j “Marcia 1 Marcia!” was again eaßaL
! “There, 1 most go. But lam sorry you««
hungry, and I ain't got anything foryooto
eat.—Oh 1 you shall tare that bright silver, dol
lar Uncle Joe gave me this morning. Hare, it-;
“Marcia, come in this instant 1" ■
1 Oh, you are so goodl” exclaimed tha.boy.
“1 never will forget yon—never!"
He raised hie great melancholy eyes to. her -
pitying ones as he apoke, snd Marcia never foe-*
got what volumes of gratitude was spoken there;;
A fashionable dressed lady sow made her rpT
pearanoe at the door. i '
j“How dare you.disobey me?” she asked of
the trembling child, giving her a stinging slip
upon her white shoulder. Then, catching her
by the arm, she dragged her into the house and
clpsed the door, leaving the. boy with tbrobhing'
heart and flashing eyes and standing outside.
Fifteen yeSra have passed, and Marcia An
derson was alone intbe world. Herfashion
able mother bad found an early grave, and her
father bad become a bankrupt, and died with
grief. Friends that once smiled on her, now
knew her not.—She was truly alone. ;
One of her .friends, a little more generous
than the rest hod offered her a home until she.
cojuld find another; but after a few weeks she
received hints that -she was no longer Ranted*
there, and one day, when she went out in search
of employment, she determined not to rotate
to' that bouse.
But no one-seemed to have anything for her
to do. Night was coming on, .cold and dreary;
Old friends passed her without the slighted
nod-of recognition; and even he who waste
have been, her friend and protector bowed
cooiiy to her.
“A.nd this is < the world,”, she murmured—
“when 1 could charm them with my. gold they
were all smiles; hut now, thatmy gold is gone,
they know me not. Arthur, too, is like the
rest. Oh, Heaven, sustain me in this trying
moment!”
At that moment a handsome gentleman
stepped op to her, andasked,
“Have I the honor of addressing Mibb An
derson f"
“That is my name," she replied. ”
“Are yon-in search of a 1 home and employ*
mentj” he asked. •
She looked up into his iaoe. it was* frank;
manly one; she was not afraid to trust him,
and she answered-;
“Oh, yes, can you tell me where I can find
them ?" '
'‘Yes. Yonder white .c ott&g6, with the green,
blinds, is not* stylish house, hut it is ti' quiet,
comfortable one. And there amoving niother,
a gentle sister, and a sweetrlittle cousin- are
ev^r -waiting to greet jou.” '
She looked up in astonishment, and said ;
j‘l do not think I understand you rightly."
I‘Miss Anderson," he went on, with iuthu
giaism, “once a very little girl gave a silver doh
larjto a ataiving boy, and was punished forgo
doing. The food and fuel which.UiatinViiej
purchased revived the starving family; and the
next day he went out in 'search of employment
and found it. Gradually, .as the boy 1 neared
manhood, their circumstances changed, until,
at last, they found' themselves in a happy home
surrounded by all the comforts and maiiy rtf
thej.luxuries of life. But deep in Use heartcf
each is enshrined the mamoryofthat angel;
and her name is there, a - household word, too
sacred to be mentioned before therude world.

“I remember you," she said, looking up into
his lace with a. happy smile.- “Heaven has
indeed raised, me up a. friend; I will be
sister, but I will-work witU joo, .aud will nut

“Well, if you JDuat have employment, 1 hava
a little cousin whom you may teaeh when you
have learned to love her for yonr-own
A few moments later Maroia found herself
clasped in the arms of Walter Maryland'*
mother, who welcomed the orphan with true
affection, and called her daughter.- But when
the I bright eyed maiden, April, came, drop
ping flowers at every step, and whispering
sweet songs in the ears of the birds, Marcia
had) indeed found a mother as well as a noble
husband, upon whose' manly bosom she might
lay her head, and say she was truly blessed.
