There was yet a flora inmate of the room, in
the shape of a little 'curly beaded, blue eyed
fairy, not more than four years old, who bad been
for some timeplaying on the hearth with a pet
eat and two or three kittens, whist' were barking
and purring in the warmth of the cheerful blase;
but who now, tired of her dumb playfellows, rose
from the floor and toddled away to a large chair,
standisc in the mess of one of the windows.—
Into this she had °limbered unobserved, and
stood gazing out into the street at the passing
carriages and equestrians, with large round eyes
of wonder.
In the meantime, the boy, who had turned
many pages since we have been employed in
the description of the 'picture, looked soddenly
up from the chapter, which had apparently so
deeply interested him, and Axing - his earnest
eyes on his mother's tranquil face, said eager
ly—
"Mother, what a . Freat man that Hannibal, the
Carthagenian, was
•
"Was he, my dear ?" said the mother, quietly.
"A great warrior,
I knew he was. But I tbo't
he was cruel, and treseherous, and a breaker of
his word. It is a long time, however, since I

or do you think that to be a great warrior, is to
be a great man, without other virtues ?"
"No, mother, I do not think that, lam sure.
For I suppose that to be really a great man,
he
should be a very good one. Yet the world does
not always seem so to judge us either—for Na•
poleun was sot, I think, a very good man."
"No, indeed, was he sot," replied the mother,
trial a half sigh ; "bat the splendor of his woo.

more than you can din:Dern the spots in the sun.
But tell me, was your Hannibal a better man

"I think so, mother, " answered the bojl
quickly "My Hanniba, is you sell him, seems
to have oo passion bat true love to hisoonotry—
Napol4on had, I think, nosebag love for himself.
Yet, surely, it is a very fine and glorious thing

"A very perilous and very awful thing,

one?"
"Not such>as the Duke of Weßiagio., moth
or, or greater yet, as our own immortal Wash

You have named two good emnipkw, my eon,"
said the gentle mother, smiling, "for I think
that both of these great men—the former of
whom is not, by the by, a great favorite—have
one great point in ocuramon, that both were aotua•
ted by a common motive—a strong, stern sense
of duty. Both fought not to conquer other
countries, but to defend their own; both, after
vanquishing all foes opposed to them, returned
willingly to the rank of common chimes, when
both might, perchance have been kings; and
both remained °octant with legitimate rewardo—
this with his sovereign's', that with his people's ap

"Did you ever bear, Charles, what one of your

ezoept a battle lost, was a battle woo?" Did
)ou ever reflect that. every battle woo must be e
battle lu.t, likewise? Did you ever oonsider how
wavy mum, ut sod happy men must die, that

"But they die nobly, and their deaths are
glorious, mother."
"So as; the newspapers, my boy. But what
thick you the wretched widows, and the misers.
ble orptkans say? Do you believe they feel this
nobleness, or are toweled by this barren glory?"
"I do think so, mother—yes, I ko think so,"
cried the enthusiastic boy. "I do think you had
rather see me—yes, even you, who bate so much

my countrymen praising and glorying in me,
than have me alive, a poor, worthless, drunken

"Hush! Charles, dear—oh, hush!" whispered
his sister, imploringly.
The boy flushed fire red, and dropped his
e)e.4 to silence to the page he bad been reading.
But Mary Arkartight made a great effort, and
forced duo a convutsiee rising of her throat,
and strove to mower calmly.
-But is not—is not putting the—the quest—
But she could not command herself, but drop
ped her work, and burying her lam in her bands
burst into a bitter fit of weeping.
Truly, indeed, had Charles spoken when be
said that she hated war—and of truth, good
cause she had to bate it—had she not, gentle
reader?
Her father had bore arms through the strug
gle with the mother country in the earlier part
of this country, had distinguished himself oa the
Canada frontier under a gallant soldier who was
then tiunderiog at the gates of Mesita). In that
struggle he had lost as arm and gained the oom
mission of a captain.
Years of peace followed; the army was not
popular; its services were no longer needed; uid
--acid—Republics are not grateful. Years of
pesos followed, and at the end of these the sad
inglorious, toilsonie bloody war of Florida.
This left the fath er: of oar heroine minus an.
other limb, and with a broken constitution, at
length a Major.
• The pest year the Major died, tearing a wid
ow unprovided for, and Mary, his daughter, a
full, graceful girl, well educated, and brought up
to all the eleganeies and refinements of a lady.
Another year saw Mary doubly orphaned, but
pettily consoled, it not reconciled to her second
loss, by being the newly° wedded bride of Charles
A.wright, handsome, upri well-bred, and
if not rich, at least of

Cousin Alias Lake echoed eagerl y my words,
u our aunt oanie•isto the sitting moss where we
were lonogiag away the pleasant summer after
noon.
I see her now, though half a score of years hut
the grave dust hidden that face front the eyes
that loved it, as awl Game through the door, with
her soft, slow step; with her lilatecolored silk
shawl, and her Leghorn bonnet, trimmed with
white satin:ribbon. Aunt Esther Lee was our
father's only sister, and she had been a childless
widow for many years, the latter half of which
she had passed at our home. Cousin Alice Lake
was pasting the vacation with us. There was
not a year's difference in oui ages, and we had
been schoolmates from early childhood, and I be.
here sisters seldom !wrench other as we di.l.
That afternoon mit Esther bad started oat on
a visit,to Farmer Pike's, the rich old widower,
whose great yellow brown house, stood on the
turnpike, half a mile from our house.
Farmer Pike was a strange, hard man ; you
would have felt this, with one glance at his
strong, rugged features, his iron gray hair, and
his large, muscular person that bad not burred
itself with the weight of three score years. -
He lived with his housekeeper, and his hired
men, in the great yellow brown house, an honest
and industrious man, but without a single affee
tion, or social sympathy iu the world ;—with
a life as cold, and stark, and barren, as a desert
over whose bosom no running spring winds its
necklace of jewels; is whose dryfikati heart no
sweet dower tipple its soft lips io the sunshine.-
Yet Farmer Pike's life had its tragedy, so I
believe all lives have, if we wth( only unlock
the hidden cabinets, where they are laid sway
from every eye but God's.
Many year. ago, Farmer Pike had married a
woman much younger than himself. A woman
with one of those gentle, shrinking, mimosa us
tem, that seemed to have few points of sympa
thy with his coarse, rugged character.
However, I believe they got on well together,
and it is probable the gentle, tremnletie wife cal.
led out whatsoever of tendeess there was in
the coarser soul of her husband At last, a son
was born to them, and the delicate mother fell
into a decline, and before her boy's life had env.
cred its third year, the grass had laid its green
covering over the mother's head
Nlra. - Pike and aunt Either Lee were school ,
mates, and had alwa)s been friends; no the
farmer placed Joseph under her care, and h, eon,
tinned to reside
_with her, until at my mother's
death, which occurred - - sevcial years later, my
aunt rune to us, and the boy went hoche to his
father
Joseph was a warm-hearted but a terribly
self willed boy. My Mint bad more initneriee

As the tuy grew older his father determined
upon unlig bid

bent• upon g..;:,4 out into the world, an! trying
1.14 fortune there I know th, old yellow brown
house witnessed some terrible uoutests between
the fathir's will and the sun's determination,
there were harsh threats on one side, awl sullen
resistance on the other, until worn out with
these things, Joseph made up his mind to "run
away, sat go to Sta.."
lie did this with his usual rash impulsiveness,
and then farmer Pike in his wrath, lifted up his
hand, and swore solemnly that Joseph should
DUI inherit a dollar of his property ; that be
would never see or speak to him again to the
day of his death. And he kept his word. Be
lived in the yellow brown house, a lonely child
less old man, broadening his mires every ear,
and broadening too, by his oold, selfish, unpro
ductive life, the gulf between hint and the king'
dose of !leaven.
One day in the late spring, however, an old
man and a little golden haired child stopped at
our house sod asked for aunt Esther Gray.
Then fur the first time in all lime years, we
heard of Joseph Pike.
Life had been with him 'env dance of roses,"
but a long, sharp struggle He had married
y .ung, and his children had been taken from
him, and at last his young wife had been laid
besid.• him, leaving him only the goldenstmired
buy that stood before us.
Joseph inherited the delicate constitution of
his moth, r, and his health bad failed under all
these trials. Tie had wandered from place to
place with his motherless buy, in search of new
strength Bt be failed rapidly, and at last him
self gaffe up all hope of recovery. Then he wrote
to my runt, tne mother of his boyhood, as he
called her, at.d bequeathed to her tenderness his
only child, scarcely four years old. And the
old man who brought him to us, was one who
Joseph had once rescued from drowning, and
who romaioed with Van, out of gratitude,, to the
last hour of his lifts.
Aunt Esther bowed her head abate those gold.
en curia, and said, while her tears dripped fast
on the bright face that was so like its father's---
"I will take the child."
"I've made up my mind," said aunt Esther,
euddeuiy, one day just after dit.ner, and she
folded up her knitting, and looked off a moment
on the dusty road that wound like a dingy red
ribbon through the pastures of Woodside.
"What have you made up your mind to do,
aunty ?" asked Cousin Alice Lake and 1,
taneously, as we looked up from the ma
we were reading:
"That I'll take Weston, Joseph's child,

We believed is too, when we saw the
fat little creature waddling out of the trout gate
by aunty's side, although wbseo the neighbors
bad informed farmer Pike that Joseph was dead,
and be bad bequeathed his only child to ay
anal, he had sternly replied--" Let her keep
him, then. }
As for me, I will never see bias,

in the most Weal way you weld imagine,
about the A6B weather and the good crops we
were like to get.
"Now say, thank you, grandpa," I said as I
flung out the water after Weston had done
drinking.
"Thank you, grandpa,"- mane out the soft,
small tones of the little Child, and I knew they
went away down in that stout old man's heart
like a sharp cutting sword.
"Who's that are child r' be asked in .a low,

"Well, now, farmer Pike," mays I, "to hear

just the shape o' that one, and a little round
bead that was never still but Ways kept ehakia'

"The old man sat down on the stoop, and
saw it was because his great limbs shook se her
couldn't stand."
"I sat down too." "'Ti. rather warm, farm
er," I went on, "subdue in the son to day,
though teere's a good breeze from the west.
Speaking about Wokuue through, I-don't think
be has his father's month, though Joseph had a
way of wain' down tight sad grim, just like
yours, farmer, 'speally when his mind was

'But if yea look you'll see that mouth was

me right back to the time when Mary and I used

more cheery than the rob in the bushes ae we
west along." -
"Don't, Esther, don't !" said fanner Pike,
and he put up his band as though it was more
than he could bear, and his face was white as the
tomb-stone. He bedn't called me 'Esther' dice
for more than twisty years.
"I saw now was the time to strike," , eutd says
I-: "Yes, I s'pose it's tryin' to your feelin',far

groaned out, 'Oh Mary ! oh Joseph r le a way
that made my heart, stand still, and be bugged
up the boy so tight to his broad bosom, that I
knew he never . would let him go fres:tit 'Ow"
At this point in her story, aunt Esther paused
and cried, and so did oousin Allee; and I, though
we laughed at each other all the time.
"Well, what happened next, Aunty?" I asked,
its soon as I could..
"r didn't stay another minute, child. I
couldn't I just slipped round the corner of the
house, and hurried off home, but I beard a deep
sob u I opened the gate softly, and !Anew it

more than forty years. But it comforted me all
the way back to think 'that it Mary in heaven
knows when I've been deli' to-day, she'll thank
me for it.' "
"But we shan't ?We WOIIIOII With us any
mote now. Row • shall wa along without

hearts had grown to the sweet child.
"Yes, we shall base him," answered aunt Es
ther, quietly out) tog the wrings of her leghorn
bonnet "Farmer Pike mid more that twenty
years ■go be wouldn't trust nay woman in the
village but me to bring up a child, and be ain't
goia" to think less of me for this day'. work."
Aunt Esther was right. Jest at evening,
farmer Pike came round to our house, leading
Weston by the hand. "Miss Lee," be said, "I
ain't got anybody at home I quite like to trust
him with, but if you'll take the child, we wont
say anything about the price, only I'll see you
don't lose by it."
And aunt Esther took him.
But every tooraiag sad evening Farmer Pike
eame up to see his little grandson, t 4 was never
tired of bringitg him fruits sad teys,vanul the
little one learned to watch eagerly for his grand
father's coming.
That little golden bead somehow completely
revolutionized the old man. The harsh Hoes
around his face grew softer, and be would sit for
hours and wateb it at its play, or devise with
aunt Esther some sew pleasure for it. I• short,
the farmer's life seemed bound up ia his grand
