Would you object to walking home with me, so that my wife can see c her? I think it would comfort her. I will buy all your flowers.". ." Certainly, we can go," said Hester, rising. They soon reached the house. The gentle man loft them in the parlor, whilst ho wont to call his wife. In a few moments a tall; hand some lady, in deep mourning, came in. As soon as she saw Lola, she sprang to*arde he claSped her in her arms and burst into tears. Hester's eyes filled as the lady sobbed out; " Oh, my child I my child 1" When she grew more composed, she ques tioned Hester; and the girl told her simple history. Her father had been a clerk in a wholesale house in Philadelphia, and dying two years be fore, left them penniles§. Her mother was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, whose family cast her off when she married. After her father's death; her mother came to New York, and took in sewing. Consumption claimed her for his victim, and she died a week ago, leaving them orphans. " Whero,are you living now'?" " At Mr. Hopkins's, the florist's, who allows us to offer these flowers for sale." " The very children he was telling me about this morning, ' , said Mr. Larkins. Mrs. Larkins still held Lola clasped close in her arms, as if she never would let her go. " Will you, lot your little sister stay with me to-day ?" she asked, turning to Hester. " You can call for her to-night, after you have sold your flowers." " These are mine," said Mr. Larkins, emp tying the basket, and placing a gold piece in Hester's hand. " You will have to go to Mr. Hopki Ilfed . for more." When Hester returned in, the evening, a most startling proposition met her. Mrs. Lar kins wished to adopt 'Lola, and seperate her entirely from her sister. She wished her to be as her own child, " with," she told her hus band, " no low connections." Hester was stunned. Lola, her little sister, the only thing left for her to love, to be taken from her entirely 1 She asked a day to think about it, and, taking her sister by the hand, left the house. In her own little room she thought more calmly of the proposal. Her sis ter was very beautiful. If she staid with her, what was there before her but poverty and ig norance? If she went to the wealty merchant to be as his own child, there was a •certainty of education and comfort. Bitterly rose before her the condition of these advantages. She . must never see her, never clasp her in her arms, and call her sister ; size must not watch the unfolding of her mind. The only one who must not share in the triumph of her beauty and accomplishments must be her own Sister. The Struggle was a hard ono ; but true love triumphed; and, putting aside all selfish 'con- siderations, she decided for her sister's good. Lola went to Mr. Larkins's, whore, for the present, we will leave her. Jake Hopkins, an old man, with only a moderate incorne, a widower and childless, was only too glad to have Hester remain with him. Her gentle manners, her low, sweet voice, and her touching gratitude for his kindness, all had their charm for the old man. His bou quets never met so ready a sale as when her taste arranged them. • The vases sent to him'to he filled for great parties were never so loudly applauded as when Hester ...grouped the sweet 'flowers.— Then, after work was over, there was no hand likti Hester's to give him his tea, no voice like hers to read the evening paper: His pipe was filled by dainty white fingers ; and, when the 'news was read, that clear, sweet voice could warble songs without number. Putting aside and bravely crushing down her grief for her mother's death, ber longing for her eister, the noble girl devoted all her thoughts to showhig her gratitude to her old friend. One earnest wish dwelt in her heart. It was to finish her education. Through her father's life she had attended the best schools ; and thanks to her mother, she was no. mean musician. In her present home there were no books, no piano ; and she determined to have both. But how? The sale of flowers was not enough. All she mado there would hardly clothe her. Ono morning an advertisement in the paper attracted her attention, and she determined to answer it. " Heigh-ho!" said' Mr. Lawrence Holmes, throwing aside his book and rising, " this is stupid wprk ; my brains are all in a maze." Mr. Holmes lit a cigar (probably to clear his brains) and sat clown again, with a yawn. He was a lawyer, a man about thirty-five, and one of the most talented men at the New Yorh liar. He was handsome, and wealthy, and Unmarried. " Quite a dangerous individual," the mothers decided. " Quito a catch," the young ladies whispered. A knock at his office door made hiM look up, " Come in! By Jove !" was his thought, " what a beautiful girl ! What radiant eyes! What a complexion! What hair! Will you be seated 1" he added, handing a chair. " You advertised for a copyist," said Hes ter Crawford, timidly, "and I calldd to sea if I could not do what you require." "Will you write something for me?" he said, pfacing paper, pen and ink before lair.— " Anything—your name. Venus ! what a perfect little hand !" was the thought in his mind, ".Ifester Crawford" was written in a die= fillet, clear nauu, an. r par "That will do !" Hester found the terms very liboral, and she went home happy, with a roll of writing under her arm, while Mr. Holmes resumed his cigar, and, mused thus : " ' Hester Crawford l' what a pretty name, and how beautiful she is Hester !" And ho took up the paper upon which the name was written. "An orphan, she says, and living with an old florist, who was kind to her when her mother died. So young, beautiful and lovely, She must not come hero ; it will filet the follows about this street to talking. Poor girl I sho is friendless; I will be her friend." In the eveeing, llostor received tilittlo note, stating that, as it was inconvenient for Mr. Holmes to be interrupted at his office, a boy would call for the writing :and bring her any further orders. Patiently the noble girl toiled, day after day. Always at the florist's service, sho yet contrived, by early rising. to write much; and as hir hand grew more accustomed to the work, it was astonishing with what rapidity sho copied the stiff papers. Three months gave her enough to hire a poor piano and buy a second-hand book of old' music. Tho old florist's delight was almost ludicrous. He in sisted upon certain hours being devoted to practice and study, and allowed her yet more time for the writing duties. Mr. Holmes call ed occasionally, to give some directions about the law papers, and when he heard her desire to improve herself, insisted upon sending her some books. Ho was very kind. Hester's mind dwelt upon each little token of interest with deep gratitude. Unacknowledged, hard ly confessed to herself, the one aim of her life was to be worthy, at some time, to associate with her sister. Lola little dreamed - that many nights when sho was fast asleep, Hes ter was under hor window, praying for her. 7-- With the happy forgetfulness of childhood, she was. soon perfectly contented with hor new, home. Mrs. Larkins lavishdd upon her all the love she had felt for her own little ono, and no indulgence was spared to make her happy.— For a little time she grieved for hor sister, but her new mother soon filled her place, and, as time rolled on, she almost forgot her. • Two years passed ; and, if we look into, the florist's little sitting room, yo shall see Hester nod Mr. Holmes. " Miss Crawford," said ho; takin3 from his pocket a newspaper, "I want to read to you a little gem I discovered here to-day; it is called ' Neglected,Plowers.' With beautiful modulation and expression, lie read it piece of poetry, one of the heart wailings which genius sometimes pours forth. As. he ceased, ho looked up for her approval. 11er cheek was flushed, uud her eyes lit with a deep joy. • " Are they not beautiful?" '• think I know the author." " What! Lola? She writes most beautifully. There is, in her prose articles, a depth of feel ing add a pure, holy spirit rarely met With I have preserved them all." "You!"—and the flush deepened. " Yes; do you know her? I wish I could say as much. I should be proud to claim her• for a friend." " You have been the kindest friend to her for two .years," said Hest& in a low tone "She is hero beside you." " You the author of Neglected Flowers ?' You! And yet I might have guessed it! Let mo congratulate you. You are ma)sing a sen sation in all the fashionable wopld, and people aro very curious about the, hidden genius." " Conic, Mr. Holmes, you aro too kind ; your flattery makes me blush." "No flattery. I ought to thank you, too, for being so kind as to continue to cppy my stu pid papers, when you are, of course, much heti ter paid for these gems." - "Paid ! I never received a cent fur them. They would come into my -mind while my hand traveled over your papers, and 'I wrote them down. Ono day I ventured to send one to tho editor of the paper you hold in your hand. I told him neither my nanie . nor ad dro'sa. The next day I saw myself in .print. Since then I have Sent many more, but, as ho never saw mo nor heard my, name; of course ho never paid me for them.

"This explains why G—was' ao myste rious when I inquiied of him . who. Lola was. Have you any more?" "Oh, yes, many I" "May I seo them?" A portfolio was taken from a table drawer, and Mr. Holmes coolly placed it under his arm. "May Ido what I please with them ?" he asked. " Certainly." "Mood evening, then; I am going to spend the evening with Lola." • Weeks passed away, and Hester heard no thing from Mr. Holmes. The bOy still brought the law papers, and she continued to devote some hours each• day to her more'congenial writing and studies. • One evening she was seated at the piano, singing to Mr. Hopkins, who,' half asleep, lis tened to the pure, fresh voice pouring forth his favorite ballads, when Mr. Holmes came in.— She started up with delight, then stood still, blushing at her own eagerness. Miss Crawford" he said, gravely, " I have called upon business. Will you sign some papers for me, withiput knowing what they are?" " Certainly. Am I signing away all my property?" she asked, laughingly, as she com plied with his request. " Yes, for a fair equivalent." No more was said about the papers. Tho evening 'passed pleasantly, with music and conversation ; and then there came another long lapse of time before Hester saw Mr. Holmes. At last he came again. She had missed him sorely, grieving over his. silence and wondering whether he could be offended with her. It was in the morning that he call ed. Hester was at a little table in the green house, arranging boquotts for a large party to. NI even at Mrs. Green's, when a book was laid before her. Tho title, in largo gilt letters " Nee,: bv . Lola," made her open vm it, to find all her fugitive stones, amine. s,>—_.z__. poetry, colleotod together, and tastefully em bellished with engravings. " You aro surprisod," said a well known y3ice, " but I trust not offended," " Offended ! Oh,'.lllr. Holmes, this is your work! How kind, how very kind, you are I', Not at all. I am to-day, the bearer Of many commissions—the book, the contractyou signed last month, and five hundred dollars from the publishor." . " Five hundred dollars 1" "Yes here it is, in gold, as you see. You must give up law, Miss Crawford, and Fact. rice literaturo ; but—and his voice lowered— , when you forsake' the law, may I hope you wilt not forgot. the lawyer 2" Sho stood silent, nervously fingering. the bag of money on the table, while tlieluit blood mantled over cheek and, brow: . A look of proud joy came into Lawrence Holmo's eyes. "Hester," ho said gently, " you cannot be surprised when I say I love -you; you must have seen it before this. Will you not speak to me.? may 1 call you mine r "I run so unworthy," she stammered, "I' poor and obscure." " Pour I" he said gaily, pointing to the money. Obscure I here aro five papers that came, to-day, with notices of Neglected Flow ers.' Poor and obscure ? No —yet, were you both, I lovo you. Will you be my wife ?" And ho opened his arms to fold her to his bosom. Sho did not speak, and it was not needed. Two months later, there was a great party given at Mrs. Larkins's. Many of the guests were already assembled; and Lola, beautiful as a picture, and exquisitely dressed, was flit ting from group to group, the darling of the evening. "I expect the bride, Mrs . . Holmes, will hon or us this evening," said Mrs. Larkins to a lady who.stood beside her. "Did you know she was the author of that gem of literature, " Neglected FloWers?' " " I heard,of it. Who is she?" "1 don't know. Nobody knows. She wrote secretly under the signattire of • Lola' until after her marriage, and then. she burat'.upon the world with her name already in eVery one's mouth. I have not yet seen her ; but her mother-in-law promised to persuade her to join us. Ah, there she is ln ' Radiantly boautsful, with an exquiiite dress of soft white lace, and glittering with dia monds, Hester came across the room, leaning on her husband's arm' "How beautiful," whispered all. " Surely I have seen that face before," mut tered Mrs. Larkins, as she advanced to moot her guest. " Hester gracefully acknowledged Mrs. Lar kin's 'cordial welcome; but her eye roved about the room. Suddenly, it lighted. A little girl, whose white dress was pure and lovely as her own, was coming to meet her.-- She came slowly and timidly, with her eyes fixed upon Hester's face, while her own wore a puzzled expression. Hester smiled; and then with a glad cry of ' Hester 1 sister Hes ter,' Lora sprang into hor arms. .
