" Will, lad, I'se been to see Susan Paltnei.'."
' • She felt the start under her hand which
I s was plaeed on his shoulder, but he was silent
I for a minute or two. Then he said :
" What took you there, mother ?"
I "why my lad, it was likely I should wish

- "Will, thou seest I never se eyes on her
before ; but she's a good gen looking crea

Will looked up with momentary surprise,
for his Mother was too shy to be easily taken
\with strangers., But after all it was natural
in this case, for who could - look at Susan *kil

questions, and his poor mother had to take

He placed her, _n chub;; he ran for water.
She opened her- eyou and smiled.
"God bless you, Will. Oh ! I-am so happy.
it. seems as if she were- found ; my heart is so
filled with gladness."
- That night Mr. Palmer stayed oat late and
long. Susan was afraid that he was at Lis
old haunts.and habits—getting tipsy at some
public. houser; and the thought oppressed her,
even though she - hadiso_rnuch to make her
happy, in.the conciousness that will loved
her. She sat up long, and then she went to
bed, leaving all arranged as well as she could
for her father's return. She looked at the
little rosy sleeping gid, who was her bed-fel- •
low, with redoubled :tenderness, and with
many .a . prayerful thought. The little arms
entwined her neck as she lay down, fur Nan
ny was a light sleeper, and was conscious that
she, who was loved with all the power of
that sweet childish heart, was near her, and
by her, although she was too sleepy to utter
any of her half formed words.
And by-and-by she heard her tlsther come
home stumbling uncertain, trying first the
window,-and next the door Caste logs, with
many a loud incoherent murmur. l The little
innocent twined around her seemed all the
sweeter and more lovely, when she thought
sadly of her erring father. And presently he
called aloud for a light ; she had left matches
and all arranged as usual on the dresser, but
fearful of some accident. from fire, in his initi
ally intoxicated state she now got up softly,
and putting on a cloak, went down to his as
sistance.
Alas ! the little arms that were unclosed'
from her soft neck belonged to- a light easily
awakened sleeper. Nanny missed her dar
ling Susy, and terrified at being left_ alone in
the vast mysterious darkness, which had no
bounds and seemed infinite, she slipped out
of bed and tottered in her little night-gown
towards the door. There was a light below
and there was Susy and safety ! So she went
:onward.s..twe.steps towards the steep abrupt ,
stairs; and,then dazzled With'sleepins, she
stood, she wavered, she fell ! Down on her
head on the stone floor she fell Susan flew
to her, and spoke all soft entr‘ting, loving
words ; but her white lids covered up the•
blue violets of eye;s,and there was.no murmur
came out of the pale lips. The warm tears
that rained down did not, awaken her; she
lay stud; and weary with her short life, on Su
.sa:u 's.„kace.. Susan went ! sick with terror.
Shp tamedher upstairs, aildltid bet tender
ly in bed; she dressed herself most hastily,
with her trembling fingers. Her
: father was
asleep on the settle.dawn stairs; and useless
and worsh than useless if awake. But Susan
flew out of the door, , and 'down the quiet re
sounding street, towards the nearest doctor's
house. Quickly she went but as quickly a
shadow followed as ifiimpelled by some sud
den terror- Susan rung - wildly at the night
bell,—the shadow crouched-near. The doc

H e r Vtlice Was so strange a eOntrait to what
it had been tefore she had gone into the fit
that Susan hardly recognized it; it was now
so unsPeakably soft, so irresistibly pleading,
the features too had lost their fierce expres
-1 sion, and were almost as placid ai death.—
She could not speak, but she carried the lit
tle child and laid it in its mother's arm ; then,
as she looked at them, something overpower
-1 ed her, and she knelt down, crying aloud,
"Olt, my God, my God, have mercy on
her, and forgive and comfort her."
But the mother kept smiling, and stroking
Ithe little face, murmuring soft tender words.

thought; but she prayed on, and on, and ev
er stiltzshe prayed with streaming eyes.
The doctor came with the draught. The
mother took it with docile unconsciousness
of its nature as a medicine. The doctor sat
by hers awl soon she fell asleep. Then he
. rose mirth, and beckoning Susan to the doer,
he spoke to her there. 4
" Y'qu must take the corpse out of her
arms.: She will nut awake. That draught
will make her sleep for many hours. I will
call before noon again. It. is now daylight.
Good-by."
Susan shut him out; and then gently ea
t:death* the dead child from its mother's
arms, she could not resist making her own
quiet moan over her darling. She tried to
learn off its little placid face, dumb and pale
before her.
" Not a the scalding tears, of care
Shall wash away that vision fair . ; '
Net all the thousand thoughta that,rise,
Not all the sights that-dim her eyes,
,Shall e'er usurp the place

' And then she renn what remained
to be done. She saw that all was right in

on the settle, in spite:of all the noise of the
night. ' She went out throtig,h the quiet

'as she had never done before; but the mis
