' "Thank you, thank you, for the very flat tering words. And . now, dear, I want you to have the cloak by next Christmas. I'm anx ious to see how you will look ill it." " But, Edward," gazing seriously at the shining pieces in her rosy palm, "you kpow we are not rich people, and it really seems a piece of extravagance for inc to give thirty dollars for ll:velvet cloak." •, No, it is not, either. You deserve the cloak, Mary; and I've set my mind upon your having it. Then, it'll last you so many years, that it will be more 'ecommical iu the end than a less expensive article." It was evident that the lady was predisposed to conviction. She made no further attempt to refute her husband's nrgumehiti r and her small lingers closed over the gold pieces, as she rose up, saying, "well, dear, the supper ,has been waiting half an hour, and I knew you must•be.,lningry." Ed . Ward and Mary Clark were the husband and wife of p. year. He was a book keeper in a lnige establishment, with n salary of fifteen hundred dollars. Ills fair young wife made - n little earthly paradise, of his cottage home' in the suburbs of, the city, for within its walls dwelt two lives that were - pet like music to poetry, keeping litho to each other., And • here dwelt, also, that peace which 'God giveth, ta,thoso who love him.

The girl lifted up her eyes a moment, 'al most in bewilderment, to the lady, and then, Its she comprehended • the truth, the cry of such joy broke from her lips, that its memory' never faded *froln the ,heart through all the after years of Mrs. Clark's life.
