Love each other always, my boys —my darlings " Tile waits ceased—the au was silent—but there was music still in the heart of Laurence Carr. Christmas Day at Cheriton was drawing to its close. The evening bells were riuging---the stars shone in the dark ooloriess sky. - The murmur of the waves beating on the shore came ever and snon—a quiet sound and happy. Only two days before, William OW had come to live at Cberiton in the old house. It was no thiag altered; there were the same many-paned windows, quaint earners, and gabled ends; the same surrounding domain of garden, with the grove of,trees beyond, behind which the icy moon was riming even now. At the bay window of the oak-pannelled par kg sat William and his wife, with their two ohil dren, watching the pale light trembling between the branches of the glormy firs. The firelight lashed and glowed within the room, lighting up the pictures 3n the walls, the books, and prints, and drawings, scattered on the table, and grace ful groups of winter flowers lavishly disposed, as women love to have them—every where. Alice rested beside her father—his hand wandered among her bright curls; but he was looking to wards the fir grove, and his thoughts had travel ed book many, many years. His wife's eyes were fixed on his face; she oould read the language of that sad wistful look; she knew bow eloquently everything he ea* spoke to his heart of the old happy childish duty 'if-L.6314er, pathetie memories that she else loved so dearly for his sobs. The children prattled gaily for eons tine, bat at length their voicesceased; they were subdued into iitess by the unwonted gravity of their father. Never had they sstn him so sorrowful, and they marvelled in their innocent Jinni; for be wig happy, they knew, at coming back t*Cheritou —to his old bone.
