But not a speck was lobe seen on the silvery expanse before her, and she turned away with a disappointed and heart-sickened feeling. Emma had looked forth many times in the dnv, for several weeks, on the same -scene, sometimes fair as now, and some times dc'formcd by -storms, for the ship which contained her dearest treasure. Still the husband and the father came not, and her thoughts grew troubled and her heart sad, and now the tears fell fast on the dear face of her sleeping infant. But Emma was a christian, and the sweet promise, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee,' came over her spirit so soothingly, and with a power so divine, that her heart at once rested on tho promise of her Almighty Father, and her perturbed and anxious feelings were hush ed to repose. "While she still sat at the window, her little boy, of about 10 years, ran into the room exclaiminsr, 'O, mother! dear mother! father is coming!' 'What do you mean, my child!' said Emma, turning very pale. 'Why look, mother! don't you see -that pilot boat?

'0 yes, mother, the men said they could not be mistaken, and see, one of them is coming this way, now I do believe, to tell you about it him self.' It was as William had conjectured; the man soon arrived, with the blessed in telligence that the vessel would undoubtedly be "in the harbor before next morning. 'What do you think futhdV will say to you, little Charley,' said William to his lovely Tittle brother, as he opened his soft blue eyes, and smiled upon him; 'lam sure he will give you so many kisses as to make you cry, for I don't think you like to be .kissed much.' 'Don't you believe,' said lie, turning to his mother, "that father will think him (ho finest little fellow he ever ever raw? 1 ox-ncct he will love him even bet- tor than I do,' added he, pressing his lips tenderly to liis soft, fair checks.

On such an evening as that which closed the fatal storm, she was sitting at the win dow which overlooked the water, and very sad, but quiet and resigned, stricken to the dust with her earthly hopes, but sweetly resting on Him who is the widow's God and Judge. Her eldest boy was pensively leaning his head on his mother's arm, while his baby brother used it for a play thing, and twining his tiny fingers in the silken curls which adorned it, the only joy ous one of the group, for William was still sorrowful when his thoughts turned, as now, to his lost father. Tho mother's eye, as it was sadly bent on the .water, rested on the group of men who were standing on its very edge; at this moment one of them raised a spy-glass to his face. Emma, shuddering, turned liasti- - -" ' t 'J l ly away, and a sick, faint f eeling came over 1 K nlmnct immnilintnlv nmnnlllfl I liti, uui out uiiuupi iMiu.u.v., " : , herself to look again, ashamed of the sol- fishncss which would not permit her to re joice in the happiness of others, while her self was bereaved and desolate. Some beating hearts, thought she, are waiting with tremulous joy tho approach of the dear objects of their love. Shall I not re joice with them? 'Run, William, and see what vessel has arrived; for those men are watching, I am sure, the approach of one.' William obeyed, though reluctantly, for his little heart was grieved whenever his , . i it:,. nvns rusteu on inc water. watched his tardy footsteps as he approach cd the group, who at this moment spying him, one of them ran forward to meet mm. Scarcely had they came near enough to speak, when, as though words of a magical influence had been pronounced, William, who before scarcely moved, now tossed his arms high in the air, and turning his face towards his mother's dwelling, seemed borne along by the wings of the wind. The man as swiftly followed, and almost breathless they both entered at the same time the abode of Emma. 'O mother! mother!' exclaimed William. 'Stop, my boy,' said his companion, 'let me speak to your mother first;' and turning to Emma, he said, 'Be calm, madam, for we have glorious news, vyinucrlul news for you the ship Anne is close at hand!'
