"You are certain that you will return to
night, and pay me?"
"Oh, yes, Sir, indeed we will !" Said a sweet
voice, and the speaker raised a pair of dark
oyes with a look of wounded surprise at the
implied doubt.'
"Now, I wonder," said Jake Hopkins, fold
ing his hands, and looking after the two girls,
as they walked away—" I wonder, Jake, if
you ain't an old fool to trust them gals? You
was born with a soft place in your heart"
"And your head, too," said a good-natured
voice behind him. "What's the matter that
I find you here talking to yourself like an old
lunatic ?"
"Why, you see, Mr. Larkins, the poor lady
I told you about that was sick, next door to us,
died last week, and left them two gals, you
mind I spoke of, to look after themselves.
They're rale beauties. The bigger one is
about fifteen ; she's been well edicatqd by her
mother ; and the little one's jest turnin' seven.
Well, they took on awful about their ma ; and•
I jest took them in here for a spell till they'd
look around, and find somothin' to do. To-day
the older one, Hester, said if I was willla' she'd
make some banquets of flowers, and try,tofell'
em ;, so I let her do it. We will share the pro
fits. She's to pay me to-night."
"Poor children ! About seven you said one
was. Just the age ! just the age !" he ,said
sadly. "But come!" ho added, more briskly,
"I called to see about the eamelias. Are
they iu blossom yet?"
" Opened this morning, sir. Will you walk
in ?" And the florist led the way to his green
house.
IMEI
We will folloW the orphans, who sadly and
slowly nculcl Ws:l., 44. y to an old church in
the central part of New York. Here they
found a scat, and offered their beautiful flow
ers to the. passers-by. Lola, the youngest,
was soon absc ORA in watching the busy scene ;
but Hester's face never lost its sad, wistful ex
pression. Neither was she aware of the ad
miration her beauty excited, until an elderly
gentleman suddenly stopped in front of Lola,
scanning her face eagerly; while his fine oyes
were moist with tears. " What is your name,
little girl ?" ho asked.
" Lola Crawford, sir:"
He turned to Hester, saying, in' a voice that
trerhbled with emotion: " Your sister is won
derfully like a little girl I lost some four
months ago. 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. They cost . me .

fancied or flattered myself that they were
worth anything."
"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

" 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

signed last month, and five hundred dollars
from the publishor." .
" Five hundred dollars 1"
"Yes here it is, in gold, as you see. You

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. .
"Hester held her theretrght#, and turning
to Mrs : Larkins, said, in a lovtoitp:that reach
ed only her ear; "You willlletine see her

" I shall bo only too glad, if you will let
her still be mine," was the. reply. ." Forgive

."for having separated yon for so long."
