The first flash of a healittil face; the first
gosh f.r.fig; the first breath of Perfume:
the first tin: of the flower; tile first hour of

yes! very eettatnit the lust fit of lose? the
thon;zlit, the iirso the tiret emotion,
the first peieoption. brings only the bright
less, and 1 111:Vilig after conies that gloomy
thing, the shadow.
The sumliine of that April morning on that
certain Amin Domini. !Atone hiigi,tiv into a
very iiitvie room, very sehritily furnished, be
longing to a very little cottage, being one end
of a very little row, hanging like a very little
bit of fringe ou the skirts of our great metrop
olis : and in this room was a very scanty sup
ply of those things which civilization has
agreekl to call the necessaries of life: for in
stiyiee, ball the number of chairs to double
the number of people who were to sit on them;
only one table, and uutortunately what the la
tit e' Held in Lore
but a faint relative proportion to the 'mouths
they hail to fill: in fict it was the
. very idea
of breakfast rather than the breakfast itself,
being as unlike as possible to ham and eggs
and patties and chicken and di ieitaalmon and
marnmtroje. a s could possibly be, and boasting
only—no we will not tell what. the details of
poyerty can never he made, palatable—boast

Now, it Very freill/Nitly ficilopeng th a t the
rich and the poor seem to he playing at cross
11 urposes : the rich sat down to their pleme
ous boartk i MI cannot endure even the aroma,
whilst the poor have appetites altogether so
provokingly good and nothing of the where
withal ; and thus it was that Nee little group
of children that surrounded the scanty break
fast table eyed the rough bread loaf with very
loving looks, and swallowed portiOns of it as
though it had been ambrosia; and whether
or nut the gods n•iiid hale' considered the
thick dry slices fit for Olympus, those chd
droll would have Mien iniiiiin ty sorry to have

Now whet Ime or not nuns pent was satisfied
with the fate that hunger had 'so richly (la-,
cored fur his children, our history tenet h nut.'
Something however. like April clouds of sor
row and discontent darkene i over Iris brow, 1
and sometMlig toe April showers gmhir,d in'

his knees shook, his tongue cl. vu to the roof
of his mouth. Had some, sudden misfortune
befallen him, be couldk not, have felt more
prostrate in mind. Anil it was thus because
he had been in training for sorrow. Grief
upon grief had dogged his very footsteps, as
step by step lie had advanced in the dark road
of adversity, and its gloom had gathered more
and more heavily; Vutillreyes were now well
used to the murky pathway, and when, instead
of denser darkness, the beams of prosperity
shone on his path, he was well nigh blinded
by,„the unaccustomed light.
But we pass before our hero up these formal
steps, through that stately ball, along those
spacious corridors, over a long suit of moots,
into the vary presence of the peer. Here all

nothing but himself.

Lord IVycherly dipped the pen in the ink

the poor gentleman's brain, but his eyes
were too bill of tears to see distinctly. In
a husky voice. almost inarticulate with emo

not trippingly. " Your lordship's goodness

My dear reader, if you were ever in an

arid the person to whom you were utterii.g
the words which you could neither organize
or control, listened to you, like a snow tigarm
or an embodied east wind,. and waited till

polite ?
Thus volite was Lord Wycherly. Our
poor hero had broken down.iind had listened
to silence lora lull minute and a half before
_his lord s hip r e pli e d, and then the cold words
Elie the utterance of a statue, it statues ever
speak, came cuttingly to the ear of the Re
verend Benjamin Blythe.
" I am at a loss' to understand you, sir.
Have the goodness to explain."
"My name is Blythe, my lord." Poor
Blythe thought that would explain every
thing.
