It had rained all day; and at night with the same dull, wouutonotts sound, the rain still fell on the gravel walk beneath the window; while through the dark old pines at the back of the house, went the continual mournful soughing of the, east wiud. I=l I was weary of all to..4lure occupations, and could not resort to invectives against the wratber, for I had no listeners. My uncle, Dr. Paul Eastman, had gone timer miles, throne' the wind and the rain, to visit a patient in the alma house, a little boy whose life was nearly ended, 'DJ Mrs Eastman was visit ing her friends in a distant Slat« 99 In ■n idle, half dreaming motitl, 1 lay iu the pleasant library, to ■wait my uncle's The cheerful tire light se - Wing its warm bright glow over the geraniums sod roses in the deep bay window, over the few pictures on the walls and the well filled book shelves, banished all thought of the wintry desolation without Above the shaded lamp, on the little study table was a portrait It had hung there for many years, the old house keeper said I cannot describe that pictured face, so 'nobly, 'so sternly beautiful Would you try to describe the look which the one you love wears for you? Neither will I try to Inuit with words that face, which was the full realisation of my thoughts of those messengers who come from the unseen acrid, to strengthen and bless the weak and suffering among OW • tale. Wasiak.. uncle Paul's first love —the fair young girl, whose lies had darkened all the years of his early manhood? I had heard something of the great sorrow which bad clouded tlio.e years, and of our whose life of beauty had kept her memory fresb in the, hearts of many I bad beard, too, of life tenderness with which Uncle Paul took to he, home, witch should have b, en hers, her in , valid 'mother and little brother., and cared for thew, till the mother went to join the daughter, and the boys were fined for ettrunuretal :rid pr. (erosional lite But there VI II '4 a mystery in his life It 'tie had lost still lost tie on e ahmte face was pictured there on the canvas, bow could he ever have given the place that would have been hers, to the rasp. stable, eotottion pace per. sonwhom I hav e known for five year+ as Mrs. Eastman? EIMEZZOM The longer I watched tbe rotteet leer looking down upon we, the greeter seemed the mystery; and so thinking I fell asleep A voice awakened nee - "AL! Miriam, dreaming?" " Yes, uncle; dreaming of that face above your study table " He walked across the room, and Ptuud silently before it a lung time Then he came to me.— "It is very like her, Miriam; and eke was pure and good as the iogels " " Can you tell me of her uncle? What was her name?" Theo, after a short silence, he told we of his early sorrow, and revealed the secret of the mys tery that perplexed me " Her name was Grace Hyde She wasth teen, and I was twenty one when she promised to be my wife I was just finishing my profes sional studies, and had bad my own way to make itt the world; but I was strong to do my work and to fight my battles, for Grace was awaiting the result Her love would strengthen me, sud her h rod would reward nay victory " I will not fetter you, Paul," she said; "I know how the promise of many young lives have been unfulfilled, because the daily needs of life and the necessity of a practical answer to the sisestions, "What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and where withal shall we be clothed? have wearied the spirit not )et ready for its life work, -crippled its energies, and obtained to au Ignoble service, while the nobler work it might have done, waits for anothtr (live all the time you tired to the highest eutrure, the fullest de. veloputent of your intellectual stretigth, find for young a titling sphere of labor, and then, Paul, I will go with you, and together we will make We beautiful." " I could not (Amstar her resolutions She was firm and her father said: "Grace is right; in the future you will acknowledge it " " So I finished my studies, in the University, and went to Paris. Grace, pale and tearful, with her little hand in mine, said; 'Be worthy of your best self, arid may God forever guide and bless you, dear Paul ' And then we part ed. " I had not been away three months, when a letter from Grace anononeed her father's death. "An attack of apoplexy," she wrote "Poor mother, it is a . terrible blow to her; I know not bow she will bear it. I pray that I may help her, and that God will give me power to comfort her. After that her leUets were not sad, but there was a subdued eheerfulnes, or it might have been an effort to be cheerful, and there was an impatient looking forward to my return. She bad such trust in me, such an noble ambi tion for me, I was always stronger awl better after reading her words. Her influence was naiad me continually, and the temptations of Perim life were are powering.; I could not di* , appoint her trust. I would try and be worthy of Aker. II 1.. Cow. " I had bee. in Paris nearly two years, sad was replie s to'retitre, when Gee day a letter, Sibeeted is as sisknows ►and, was glees to me. I opened it hastily, with a prematmeat of sew. lag evil, for I had heard nothing from Grim foe. many weeks.
