"Well, Augustus," said Marianne, as the former entered a little room, which, without carpet, curtain, or ornament of aby kitid, served as kitchen, sitting room and nursery, "we are really settled down at housekeeping.

Every moment taken from my labor is so much takee from my scanty income. We can not afford to attend places of public amuse ment ; in our present low style of living, we can nevermingle in the fret society, and I will never be content to enter any other than good society; if we have to live alone, and as for impmvement, my educa tion was so neglected in illy childhood, that I have little test for reading, and, betides, we have nothing to read."

Augustus took up the Bible, and rota • chapter in Proverbs, on the practicalities of life, and declared- that he never before had read such a chapter. The plan was fairly begun. . Augustus was a palii,!apare young man, of nine and twenty. His education ! , as he said, had been sadly neglected in big youth. He had been bound an apprentice to a rough shoe-maker in the country, and had unhappily settled it in his own mind that be was doomed to ignorance*nda low and degraded employment for life. He had imagined also that his relations were willing to lose sight of him, and his sensitive na ture was stung to the quick. After a few years of vexation and toil. be wandered far away froth home and friends and familiar associations ; and a wonder it wan that be was not hurried a way by the awful whirlpool of vice, and dashed upon the rooks of destruction. He had, . however, been favored with the instructions of a Christian mother, and had seen examples in hie own family of high purposes and n i bble efforts. He had, therefore, preserved an unsul lied reputation, had acquired a little pro perty, had married an intelligent, cheer ful, healthy girl of twenty summers, and had removed to a 'city shoemakers,' where his occupation was honorable, and where his aspirations after respectability and in dependence might be realized. But on the afternoon preceding this con versation he had been unusually annoyed. He had some embarrassment in getting settled in his humble tenement—had sus tained 'some losses, and heard a bitter sar castic remark from an aristocrat of that place which crimsoned his pale cheek and sent him home through a cold rain storm, wearied in body, depressed, vexed in spirit, and almost drtennined never to make an other effort. was, and supposed be ever must be, poor shoemaker of L—... Twenty years had elapsed; and a family group were,arranged around a marble can tre table, in a parlor of a maguifieent house in the oily of L-Tr—. A gentleman of some fifty years bad just divested himself of his outer 'garments, and dressed in a rich velvet gown and embroidered slippers, astlreading the journal of the day. A la dy, some years younger, sat by his side, her face beaming with intelligence and grati fied pride, as she gazed at her dignified and honored husband, and then at the lovely group of children around the table. One was a noble youth, just returned to spend his oollege vaoation at house—another was a tall, graceful girl of sixteen, who had just finished a long recitation to her broth er, and was preparing to sheer the circle with her ever welcome music on the piano. A bright boy of twelve was performing a problem in mathematics, and a little cher ry-checked girl was drawing pictures on her' slate, and teasing every body to teach her.

After an internl of sileime the son lookedup as if from,* reverie, Lid said— ollatlier, I think Vbsta beard, you say that your youth was neglected—,.that you were once poor, illiterate, almostsn infidel, and entirely discouraged.

The eyes of the good-man filled with teats, his lips quivered, he covered his face with his Waken:lief, and for sounKtilas not a whisper was heard from the astonish ed audience around him. fle was thinking of the lovertr Ant Ig norance of his early days—of the religions errors which well nigh caused his destine. , tion—of the way in which a kind, watch ful Providence bad hid his thoughtful steps, amid all the dangers around him—of the blessings he had received in his lowly, ad mirably wife--of the days of toil and nights of bard study/ in which she had - shared, and cheemd - him on like an angel of light and,love—and lstly of the count less, blessings and , honors, which now sur rounded hint. At - length, he witoovetvd his face, and with stifled sobs said to tis wife, "tell the children. dear, the conver sation we had together, just twenty years ago tomight, around our little pine ta ble." The Jewel not Lest. The black waters of the river of death were rollitik sluggishly onward. There approached one whose features bore tram* of anxiety and sorrow ; and with.a bowed form she gazed into thosarbnlent stream as though she would fain descry something far down in its fathomless depths. A being of becign and celestial aspect appeared at her side and said. 'What seek est thou, sorrowful one ?' 'Alas,' she an swered, wore a spirkling jewel upon my bosom. It_ was no' paltry bauble, but a monarch's gift, and invaluable. The wealth of India Gan yield none to match it. In an evil hour it dropped from its resting place into this dark river. For a moment I saw it float near she brisk, etsdatretehed I my hand out to gain it, but it was beyond my reach, and it sank down till I saw it no more. It is gone'—and in deep gloom she turned to depart. 'Stay, mourner I Grieve -not, but look again into the wrters ?' She looked, and a cry of joy burst from her lips : "It is there ! I see it floating upon the dismal wave. Oh I shall it not be mine once more ?' The answer came : 'Nay, but thou art deceived. What thou neat is but the semblance of what was thine. Yet turn thy eyes upward and rejoice I" She obeyed, and beheld a star gleaming from a bright spot of azure in the murky AY, whose rays gave even the waves of that gloomy river a tinge of brightness, and whose reflection there she had mistaken for her own lost gem. Then came a tender end musical voice, u the •beautiful appearance vanished : 'Mourner, these restless billows, though fearful and dark to thee, roll up to the gate of heaven. Ever faithful to their trust, they bore the jewel which was lent, net given to thee, to its rightful owner, the Monarch of Heaven ; and transferred to his case, it will shine forever in its glori ous resting-place.' The 'mourner departed with a eounten &nos thoughtful, yet cheerful ; her glum, no longer bent upab earth, or the river of death, was meekly and trustingly rais ed to heaven. And that star, beaming into her spirit with rays of hope and gladness, wu ever after A VOICS ISOM EICATION. I Aloe in the light of Hod! His image stamps lay brow !
