Mr. Wells was a widower wiih two daughters Jane and Mary, The former twenty, and the latier eighteen. He had been accounted a man in easy circumstances front the fart that he lived in a very romfor style, and gave his children the best educa lion that tn may eould procure. Bui, in doing this, he lived fully up to his income. Death suddenly removed him,& led his tw laiighieis without fortune or home. An tin i:le,Mr. flendee, was the only relative thev had. Ha was what is called well oil' in th world: possession a very handfotne proper iy. But, as he had a young and expensivt I'nmily his regular income was neer mucl neyond his wants. As soon as Mr, Ileudei vim administered on Mr. Well's esiste, ss- certianed thai would be left afer paying ofl the debts, he informed Jane and Mary ol ihu fact, ami, at the same time, offered ihcm a home. For some weeks afier their father's death, the two young ladies remained in the home wheie they had been living.all ihe domestic irrangemanls contining the same as during his life time. They had no suspicion ol the real state of their father's affairy nd were only affected with almost i neon olable grief al his loss. When their uncle unfolded to them (he true position in which tliej stood, they were at first overwhelmed with alarm, I is prompt and kind offer of home, soothed their anxious feelings, and left their minds in a calmer fmm 'Mow kind ami generous our uncle is, Jane remarked, on the day after he had pioposed to the sisteis to consider hiJ house their future dwelling place.

She did not sppre iate either her sister's motives or feelings, ind then fore, since the conversation Mrr tail held wi h her upon the subject, she ha, 'ol made to it any allusion. When Mrs. Hendee mentioned to hei husband what had taken place between her her and Mary; he was lo much suprised t see at once, tleaily, the spirit thai acluskc! her nitre Bui this soon became annucen to his mind. 'Noble giil!' he could not help exclaim ing. 'She has her father's imlepeuden ipirit, and I honor ii in her But you will not, I a.n suie, humnr hei nmnge desire to become a teacher instead of an inmate of our family.' 'We must not do violence to such high md true principles of act on as she evinces. It wss our duly lo offer lo both her and her sister a home. This we have done cheer fully.

This appeal touched the heart of Mary nd brought from her evts pure drops of feeling. 'I Lnow, mv dear jincle,' she said, ihat will give you pleasuie to have me slay with you, snd pain to tleprt.

But, as might well be supposed, her opposition had no effect Mary was not governed by any impulse or whim by deeply fixed principles. When Mr and Mrs. Uendec found that neithei argument nor pcrsuaiton could move the nnnest-hearled girl from her purpose, lliet begged thai she would, at least, make their muse her home; if she did not solely de pend upon them. '1 will, on one consideration,' was ho i al f smiling, yet earnest reply. 'Name it, said Mr. Hendee'.

The prompt actrt ptatico of this propnai tion brought tears to Mary's eyes. 'From iny heart I thank you,' she sait wiih emotion. 'I do not want to go from mdet join protection.
