FOR FATHER'S HONOR.
"So much. gone ! 1 might have
known how it would bet" said Mr. Ster
ling, looking up from a morning paper,
with a most unpleasant expression on
his face.
"What has gone?" asked the wife.
"My money is gone," answered Mr.
Sterling.
' ". That money I was foolish enough
to lend Mr. Granger."
"Why do you say that?"
"He's dTd," replied Mr. Sterling,
coldly.'
" bead !" The wife's voice was full
of surprise and pain. Sorrow overshad
owed her face.
" Yes, gs,me, and my money with him.
Here's flake of his death. I was sure
when I saw him go away that he'd nev
er come back except in his coffin. Why
will doctors send their patients away
from home to die !"
" Poor Mrs. Granger! Poor little or
phans," sighed Mrs. Sterling. " What
will they do?"
" As well without hitik as with him,"
was the unfe6ling answer of her hus
band, who was only thinking of the
ti3ree hundred dollars he 4ad been per
suaded to loan the sick clergyman, in_
order that he might go South during the

so?" remonstrated Mrs. Sterling. " A
kinder man in his family was never
seen. Poor Mrs. Granger ! .Bhe will be
intartbroken."
"Kindness is cheap and is easily dish
pehsed," coldly replied Mr. Sterling.—
He would have been of more use to his
family if he had fed and clothed them
better ( I reckon they can do without
him. If I had three hundred dollars, I
wou Id It' t—" - -
But he checked for shame—not for
any better feelings—the almost brutal
wora his heart sent up to his tongue.
It
Not many h mdred yards away from
Mr. Sterling's handsome residence stood
a small, plain cottage, with a garden in
front neatly . , id :out in box-boarded
walks andrAll ed ." with-' shrubbery. A
lioney-Suckle, twined with a running
rose bush, covered thelatticed portico,
and looked in at the chamber windows
givibg binuty and sweetness.
The hand of 'taste was seen every
where—not lavish, but discriminate
taste. Two years before there wa . s not
a happier home than this in all the
pleasnat town of C . Now the
shadow sif,dpath was upon it. ,„ _
Poor Mre.-Granger Poor little or-'
pilaus ! Well' might Mrs. Stelling pity
thorn. While her mercenary -husband
was sighing over the-loss of three hun
dred dollars, the young widow lay
senseless witli her twos little children
weeping over hei'-in childish terror.—
The news of death foundher unprepar
ed. Only a week before she had receiv
ed a letter from Mr. Granger,Th which
he talked hopefully of his recovery.—
"I am stronger," he said: " I have
gained five pounds_in flesh since I left
home." , Three days after, writing this

followed by congestion of the lungs;

Love and honor make the heartstrong.
Mrs. Granger was a gentle, trusting wo
man. 'She had leaned upon her hus
band very heavily ; she had clung to
him as a vine. Those who knew her
best felt most anxious about her. I . l the
cannot stand alone."
But they were mistaken. As we have
just said, love and honor make • the
heart strong. Only' a week after Mr.
Sterling had read of the young• minist
er's death, he received a note from the
widow.
" My husband," she said, " was enab
led—to go' South in hopes of regaining
his health, through your kindness. If
he had lived, the money .you loaned
him would have been faithfully return
ed, for he was a man of honor. Dying
he left.that honor in my keeping, - and
will see that the debt •is paid. But you
will have to be a little patient with
me.."
" All very tine," muttered Mr. Sterl
ing,, with a slight curling lip, " I've
heard of such things before. They
sound well. People will say of Mrs.
Granger, !what a noble woman ! what
a fine sense of honor she , has!' but I
shall never see the three hundred dol
lars I was foolish enough to lend her
husband:"
Very much to. Mr. Sterling's surprise,
and not a little to his pleasure, 11]is
covered about three months afterwards
that he was mistaken in his estimate of
Mrs. Granger. The pale, sad, fragile
little woman brought him the sum of
twenty-five dollars. He did not see the
tears in her eyes as he displayed her
husband's note, with his dear familiar
writing, and made thereon,•with con
siderable fdrmality, an endorsement of
the sum paid. She would have given
many dropAlof her heart's blood to have
been able to clutch the document from
Mr. Sterling's hands. it seemed like a
bleVon the dear lost one's memory.
kale Granger is the !itieerest little
said Flora Temple
to her mother on the evening of the very
day the first'payment was made. Mr.
Sterling heard the remark, and letting
his . eyes drop from the newspaper he
was reading turned his ears to listen.
"I think her a'Very niee little girl "

' •
So she is nice," returned the child
" but' then she 113 so queer. Oh, she
isn't like the rooAt of the girls. She said
the - oddest thing to-day. • I almost
laughed• out • but 'l'm glad"! didn't.—
Three of us, katie, Lillio -Bonfield and
I were walking round the square at 4-,

and I screamed out, and started away,
for the candy-shop In an instant; but'
Katie stood still with her share of the
money in her hand. Come along!' I
cried. She didn't, move but, looked
strange and Serious. Aren't you going
to buy - some candy with it?' I asked,-
Mien she shook her head gravely and
'put the limo in her pocket, saying (I
don't think she meant me to hear her
words)—' It's father's honor ;' and leav
ing,us, went back to' tie sqhoolroom.—
What did - she mean by that, mother?
.•
Oh, she is so queer I" •
" Her mother is very-poor; you know,"
replied - Mrs. Stsrling, raying up Katie's
remark to be pondered over.
" She-;must be strange," said Flora,
" for she's Worn the same freckle Sehool
for 'most three months,"
, Mr. Sterling, who did not let's single
-word of this conversation escape him,
*as far from feeling as comfortable lin:.
der:the prospect of getting back the
money he had loaned Mr. Granger, as
he had felt an hour before. He under
stood the meaning of Katie's remark,
t: It's for father's honor •" • the truth
flashed at once through his mind.
There was another period of three
months, and 'then Mrs. Granger called
again on Mr. Sterling, and gave him
twenty-five dollars more. The pale,
thin !face made / stronger impression
upon him. It troubled him to lift the
money in her small lingers, in which
the blue veins shone through the trans
parent skin) as she counted Wont. Ho
wished that she had sent the money in
stead of calling. It was on his lips to
remark, "Do not trouble or pinch your
self to pay faster than is convenient,
Mrs. Granger," but cupidity whispered
that she might take advantage of his
kindness so he kept silent
"No, dear, it's for father's honor, I
cannot spend the money:" -
Mr. Sterling was pas;ing a fruit shop,
where two children were looking in at
the window, when this sentence struck
upon his ears.
"An apple won't cost but a penny,
Katie; and I want one so badly" an
swered t,hayounger of the two children,
a little girl not five years of age,
"Come away, Maggie," said the oth
er, drawing her sister back from the
window.
" Don't look at them any more—don'i,
think about them."
"But I can't help thinking about
them, Katie," pleaded the child.
It was more than Mr. Sterling could
stand.. Every want of his own chit-.
then was supplied. Ile bought fruit by
the barrel. And here was a little child
pleading for an apple which cost only a
cent; but the apple was denied because
the penny must be saved to make good
the dead father's honor. WhO held the
honor in pIeAtALLAVW4QPIi.Iib&-fIU •

• Children and added them
tii
Yns already burning cotters? A feel
ing of shame burst upon the check of
Mr. Sterling.
'" Here little ones !" ho called, as the
two children went slowly away from the
fruit, shop window. He was touched
with the sober look on their sweet
young faces as they turned at his invi
tation.
".tome," repealed Mr Sterling,
spchking very kindly.
The children then followed him into
s tile shop, and he filled their aprons with
apples and oranges. ,Their thankful
eyes and happy faces were in his mem-.
ory all day. This was his reward, and
it was sweet.
Three months more, and again Mr.
Sterling had a visit from the pale young
Widow. This time She had only twenty
dollars. It was all she had been able to
save, she said ; but she made no excuse,
and uttered no complaint. Mr. Sterling
took the money and counted it over in a
liesitating way. The touch thereof was
pleasant to his fingers, for he loved the
money, But the vision of Sober child
faces was before his eyes, and the sound
of pleading child voices in his cars. iP
Through over-taxing toil, and the de
of herself and little ones, the pock
widow had gathered this small sum,
and was now paying• it into his hands—
to make good the honorable contract of
her dead husband. He hesitated, ruf
fling in a half absent Way the edges of
the little pile of bills that lay under his
fingers.
One thing was clear to him ; he would
never take Anything more from the
widow. The balance Of the debt must
be forgiven. People would get to un
derstand the widow's case, they would
hear of self-denial and that of her chil
dren in order to pay the husband's and
.father's debt, in order to keep pure his
honor; and they would ask naturally
who was the exacting 'creditor? , This
thought affected him Unpleasantly.
Slowly, as one in whose mind debate
still went n, Mr. Sterling took from
his desk a large pocket-book, and se
lected from one of the compartments a
note on which Mrs. Granger bad now
made three payments. For some mo
ments he held it in his hands looking
at the face thereof.. He saw written in
clear figures the sum of $300.. Seventy
of this had been paid. If he gave, up
or destroyed the slip of paper lie would
lose two hundred and thirty dollars.—
It was something of to trial for one who
loved money so well to comenp-square
ly to this issue. Something fell in be
tween his eyes and the note of hand.—
He did not see the writing and figures
,of the obligation, but . a sad, pleading
little face, and with the vision of this
face came to his ears the sentence : " No,
dear, it's for your father's honor."
The debate in Mr. Sterling's mind
was over. Taking up a pen he wrote
across the face of Mr. Granger's note
the word "cancelled,' and handed it
to the widow.
" What does this mean ?" she asked,
looking bewildered.
" It means," said Mr. Sterling, " that
I hold no obligation against your hus
band."
Some moments went by ere Mrs.
Granger's thoughts became clear enough
to comprehend it all. Then she repli
ed,.as she reached back the note:
• "I thank you for your generous kind
ness, but he left his honor in my keep
ing, and I must maint a in it spotless."
That you have alre dy done," ans
wered Mr. Sterling, s eaking through
emotions that were nw to hiin "It's
as white as snow."
Then lie thrust bacl upon her the
twenty dollars she had just paid him.
" No,
Mr. Sterling," the widow said.
"It shall be as I will was 'the res
ponse. "1 would'rather touch fire than
your money ; every dollar would huhi
my conscience like 'Wing coals."
" But the last payment," urged the
widow, " I shall feel better." - .
"No madam! Would you throw fire
upon my conscience? Your husband's
honor never had a stain. All Men
luibw him to be pure and upright.—
When 0011 took him, He assumed his
earthly debts, and did not leave upon
,a,~r ... - ;.
'
you the heavy burden of theirpayment.
But he left you - anothet and - - - most sa
cred obligation which you have, over
looked in part."
" What ?" asked the widow, in au al
most startled voice',
"ro minister to the: wants of your
children ;. whom you have pinched and
denied in their' tender years—giving
their meat to cancel an obligation which
'death paid. And you have made me a
party in the wrong to them. Ah, Mad
am !" Mr. Sterling's. voiceoftened,
"If we could all see the right at the
right time, and do right at the right
time, how much of wrong and sutler
ing.might-be saved I I honor your true
hearted self-devotion, but I shall be no
party to its continuance. As it is, lam
your debtor in the sum of fifty • dollars,
and will repay it An - my way any time."
Under Providence, this circumstance
was the Means of breaking the hard
crust of selfishness and cupidity which
hail formed around his heart. He was
not only generous to the widow In after
years, but a doer of many deedsofkind
ness and humanity to which lie had
been in other times a stranger.

1 - 1 child shall lead ,them:"
BY OLLIE
It waS'atthe close of a cold cloudy
day in November, that a man riding a
coal black horse, might . have been seen
approaching the little village of Arnot.
He was closely muffled, and all you
could see of his face was a pair of keen
grey eyes, which glanced quickly
around him, as his noble steed galloped
on. He had nearly reached the village
when his horse began to be very lame,
and grew worse so rapidly that when he
reachedthe village he was obliged to6n.stop,
stop, in lead of hurrying 6n. as he had
intend to do. Riding to the door of a
little ii i '
1 1
he dismounted, and when he
bad see his horse properly attended to,
he seated himself in a corner, bowed
his heal upon his hands, and ;appeared
to be thinking. I
And now while he is sitting there, let
me tell you who he. is , _ and why lie is so
anxious to keep on his journey. His
name is Roger Ellis, and he is the lead
er of a band of wild; reckless felloWs
who obtain the means of subsistence,
by robbing unarmed and unwary travr
elers.
- He is on his way to meet this band of
highwaymen, as he has been informed
of a new opportunity of inereaSing their
ill-gotten wealth, by robbing an old gen
tleman and his daughter, who will pass
near their "'rendezvous, with quite a
quantity of jewels. And now the
lamenesS of his horse will hinder him
from ptpeeeding on his journey till
morning probably, for the noble animal
is a favorite of his master, and he will
not leave him.
Supper was at last prepared, and after
partaking of of it, the robber chief re
tired to his room. tie had hardly closed
the door, when he head a sweet child
ish voice, which seemed to proceed from
an adjoining room, say, "Mamma,
when I've said 'Our Father' will you
sing to me ' Jesus loves a little child?' "
Yes my darling, answered the mother.
Then that sweet, trusting little voice
31414. litikayLtetaiin eLibab mfromn'isoutetx
have been repeated by millions of little
children sine our blessed Saviour first
taught it to his followers.
The robber listened. It had been long
since he had heard such holy sounds;
long since• he had heard the Savour's
name,_except in wicked jests or dread-:
fel oaths. But instead of the holy
sounds of prayer, and praise to God, he
had hehrd the ribald song and. unseem
ly jest, and profanity in its worst forms.
Still he has not always been so vile and
wicked, and as he stands listening to
the prayer of that little child, niemory
brings into his mind the time when hc,
too, was a little sinless child, and' when
he had lisped that same prayer. • And
as that little clfild's voice sounded in
his ears, he thought of the time . / when
lie had knelt at'his mother's knee, and
innocent lips had said his little prayer.
Now that gentle mother was in It ea‘'en,
and her little Roger, grown to boa man,
had forgotten his mother's counsels and
prayer, had long been a stranger to his
lips.
In the company of wicked men, he
had learned to mock :it every thing good
and 'pure, and there was scarcely any
path of vice and wickedness which his
feet had not trod. But when the gen
tle tones of the little child fell upon his
ear, and those recollections came throng
ing in upon him, this robber • chief,
whose deeds have been such that a price
has beemottered for his head, and who
has defied both God and IMIll„ bowed
hi $ head upon his hands and wept.
• tle pent the night in a sorrowful re
vi w of his past life, and resolved to do
be ter in the future. He' rose in the
in ruing and hastened on his way as
se 11 bled his band, and after telling thmi
of his sorrow for his past doings, and
resolves for the future, he dismissed
them,, advising them to leave their
wicked ways, and with him begin to
to lead a new life. He abandoned all
evil ways and companions, became a
christian, and elver after lived a pure life.
ClOdius being prosecuted by Ctesar
for impiety, summoned Cicero as a wit

Cicero maintained otherwise. Th e
jury, however, composed of fifty-seven,
acquitted Clodius. Whereupon, one
day in the Senate, Cicero and Clodius
being in altercation, Clodius upbraided
him,- and said : "The jury gave you no
credit." Cicero answered : "Five and
twenty, gave me credit; but there were
two and, thirty who gave you no
credit, for they . had their money before
hand." Clodius was-acquitted by a cor
rupt jury, that had probably taken
shares of money. Before they gave in
their :.verdict, they demanded of the
Senate a guard, as Clodius was a very
seditious young nobleman. Catalus,
lib° next day, seeing some of them to
gether, said to them : "What made you
ask of us a guard? .wereyou afraid
your money should betaken froth you-?"

nothing dead to speak of, and we only
go otf seeing foreign countries not laid

There must be lovely lands some

Address' of tbe Union Republica nStte
I , Central Committee. •
-
COMMITTEE Roosts, HAnkasnuno, V
August 27th, 1867. : f
To the People of Pennsylvania :,
FELLOW CITIZENS:—In a recent ad
dress from this Committee your atten
tion was invited to sundry issues and
principles involved In the'pending ban
vass ; and also to the political opinions
and judicial decisions of GEonGESHAns-
WOOD. A short review of the principal
occurrences, since the last State cam
paign is now considered proper. The
contest of 1866 stis fought, in the main,
upon the amendments proposed by Con
gress to the ConStitution Of the United
State.. These were national issues- ; and
on the one side were arrayed the Union 1
Republican party as the "Boys in Illue ;"
anti on the other President Johnson,
the Democratic party, and all the rebels
and their sympathizers from one end of
the Union to the other. Oit those mo
mentous issues Pennsylvania rallied in
her strength ; and polled over one hun
dred ands orty thousand more votes
than at her preceding annual election.
Among the results, were the triumphant
election of Major General JOHN W.
GEARY for Governor and the endorse
ment of Congress, by the return of a
delegation more unanimous for theright
than ever known before in the history
of the Commonwealth. Other loyal
States united with us, and the insane
and wicked "Policy" ofPresident John
son, and of his new friends and allies,
was overwhelmedhy the unprecedented
and magnificent popular majority of
four hundricd thousand votes ! Every
State which had been faithful to the
national government 'and the cause of
the Union during the war, approved the
proposed amendments. Every rebel
State, except Tennessee, rejected them;
and under the rebel provisional govern
ments created by President Johnson,
rebel power resumed its authority, and
became dominated in their executive,
legislative, and judicial departMents.
Vagrant and labor laws virtually re-en
slaved the freedmen. Loyal men were
outlawed and trampled, under foot; and
the revived spirit of the rebellion was
everywhere triumphant. Riots, mur
ders,' outrages, and assassinations, were
the order of the day, and security for
either the lives or the. property of loyal
men was nowhere found. Treason had
front'seats, loyalty had been made odi
ous, and traitorous conspirators against
,the life of the nation were vindictiVe
and rampant.
Such was the condition of public -af
fairs in the South when Congress con
vened in December, 1866. This nation
had solemnly resolved, mid voted, that
the Union should be -restored on the
basis of,l4alty and justice ; and to this
end was the Fortieth C(lngress elected.
Hence were passed ,ho Reconstruction
laws, , iii execution of the recent popular
verdict,. The President vetoed them,.
refusing to accept or abide by the de
cision of the people, to whom he had so
often and so vauntingly appealed. Con
gress re-enacted them over the vetoes,
by more than the required two-thirds;
and they are now the laws of the land.
Under them, including the amendments
of last session, reconstruction is rapidly
progressing; and would doubtless est!,
ter 1116 persistent obstructions by the
President,',ln disfiance of Congress and
,the populat' will. Justice is being done;
loyal men, white and black, have been
protected from the - malice of defeated
rebels ; treason, in a measure at least.
has "been made odious," and traitors
have been comae red "to take hack.
seats"—as Andrew Jeluison, in a lucid
intervfd, declared they should. Even
the better portion of the rebels admit
the justice of these reconstruction laws,
and cheerfully acquiesce in their pro
-visions. Oeneral JAMES . LoNOSTIIE . P . r,
a distinguished rebel officer, in a recent
published letter fulfil New Orleans, ex
presses himself as follows:
"I shall set out by assuming a pro
position that I hold to be self-evident.,
viz : The highest of human laws is the
law that is established by appeal toarins.
The great principles that divided politi
cal parties prior to the war w 'e thor
oughly discussed by our wise t Mates
men. When argument was xhausted
resort WILS ' had to comproin • !. When
eempromise was unavailing,' . scussion
was renewed ai n l expediet . were
sought, but none could be four ,0 suit
the emergency. Appeal.. was finally
made to the sword, to determine which
01,411 e claims was the true construction
orconstitutional law. The sword has
decided in favor of the North ; and what
they claimed as prineiples,, cease to be
principles, and are become law. The
v i ew a that we hold (Vase to ire principles
because they are! opposed to law. it is,
therefore, our dull to abandon ideas
that are 'obsolete; and cottform to the
requirements cif !aut. The ,military bill
and amendments are peace offerings.
We should accept them as such, and
place ourselves upon them as thestarting
point from which to meet future political
issues as they arise." . •
JEFF THOMPSON, another rebel Oen
eral, in a late letter to George D. Pren
tice, Esq., endorses the reconstruction
laws of Congress thus :
'The confederate government wiped
out States rights the first year of its ex
istence, a bloody war wiped outslavery,
and wiped out the confederacy, so {they
are obsolete ideas; _ and the plain ques
tion now presented is, 'Will you accept
citizenship under our terms, as contain
ed in this law?' and 1 emphatically
answer, yes I"
It is greatly to be- regretted that terms
which are so acceptable to the fighting
rebels of the South, should be so dis
tasteful, and cause so much clamor, from
their non-combatant sympathizers- in
the North,
The enemies of the United States hav
ing been finally defeated in battle, uni
ted their °Milts to elect sympathizers
from the North, and to procure the ad
mission of enough rebels from:the South,
to enable them, through Congress, to at
tain what they had lost in the field.
This programme was frustated by the
loyal people at the .ballot box, in the.
election of the Fortieth Congress. De
feated in' open war, and again in Con
gress, these bathed conspirators, us a
last resort, are endeavoring to save "the
lost cause" through the courts. They
deny that anything has been settled by
the war ; and boldly proclaim that "all
these grave pending questionS" must, be
decided, "just in fact, as they would ha ve
been decided had they arisen eight Years•
ago,'" o r had no war taken pace." (Phil
adelphia Age, July Bth.) They not only
deny the constitutional power of Con
gress to impose' terms upon the r, eel
States or people, but deny thitteongress
itself is a lawful body, bccaue the relict
States are unrepresented. 1- enee, the

clared by our enemies to be the great
issues of the contest. They are now
raised up and brought upon the track
again, mounted by the same riders, and
destined to the same ignoble end. Be
not discouraged by the vain boasting of
our adversaries. They had been inglo

us. The loyal and patriotic people of

under the heavy pressure and discour-'
agement of drafts,; taxation, bereave-_,
ment, and carnage : and when nothing
but an abiding. faith in an overruling
Providence, and in the justice of our
cause, enabled us to see the end. Surely
there can 'be no faltering noW, when
the goal is almost reached; and when
one more united rally for our principles
and our flag will enable uS to secure the
ripe fruits of the late dreadful.civil war,
and to garner them safe t y for ourselves

We stand over-the ruins of a gigantic
rebellion, the most formidable: enemy

How a 'Yanng Lady goes to Bed.
Fanny I >owl i lig, writing for the Land
IYe Lovc, explain:3 the mysterious
process Isy Which a young lady prepares
tie. to We rather like it. •
Dismissitig Mary, her foster sister and
insid, Miss l'restort performed the lc
of disrobing for the night , , without any
assistance than that of her own nimble
•
lingers.
First, the little lace collar and ribbon
wt removed' from the neck, and the
brhht merino dress laid aside; newt the
snowy'skirts were lifted over the head,
they a' spring touched in front of the
rounded waist, when, vtith a clicking
tnetaltie sound, down mine the wide ex
panse of crinoline, whih Miss"Charity
stepped-Milt or its steel etrele, considers-.
(Ay collapsed but all the mettier. A
somewhat similar operation was repeat
ed and numerous sPrit4s and curls were
set-in lively motion, and with a ) stretch
upward of the plump white arms, and
a long drawn sigh of relieoolf came e
the little French "railroad" corsets,
and the dimpled shoulders of the wear
er rose in unrestricted freedom.
The snowy night-gown was now
slipped over thel head, and ith delicate
frills daintily adjusted to the throat and
wrists. Next 'the mirror was visited,
and the charming little moues made at
the bright face, it reflected,' and then
seizing the brush, the girl proceeded to
apply it to her glossy curls until they
shone like satin." •
Thence to the washstand; where teeth
white as cocoa-nut meat were rubbed
until they.gleamed still whiter, and the
rosylfhee dipped in the gilded basin of
pure, cold water until it glowed with
renewed crimson. And then drawing
a low seat close to the fire, the young
girl laid one pretty foot lightly on her
knee, and began to unlace the tiny boot
which encased it; in a few •moments
both little feet were bare in the childish
beauty, and pressed down on the hot
bricks of the hearth, while a Careful
measurement was made as to the rela
tive lengths of the big toe and the next
'one to it, for in this" important differ
ence depends the momentous question
it. 9 to which of the two shall rule in the
future married life of the measurer; it
having, been decreed by mysterious and
immutable signs that Should the great
toe be ale longer, the forthcoming lord
of the lady will be her master as well;
while if the second has the pre-emi
nence a similar fate is in store for her- ;
self, and her only master Will be. her
()win sweet will.
In the present instance;_both of the
soft pink toes were of such sameness of
length that the inference was sufficient
ly clear that destiny decreed the mar
ried life of Miss Charity Preston should
bona scene of equal rights. • •-
• The young lady sat still and amused
herself by doing a little prospecting in
the way, of gazing down into the coals
glowin . g before her, and then taking her
Bible from Its stand, she read the lesson
appointed foK the eVening, then knelt
and said her simple prayem A puff of
fragrant breath from &pair of rosy lips,
and out went 'the candle, leaving the
room only by the rich firelight.
Then, unbolting the door that Mandy,
who slept in her young mistress' room,
might gain access, when it should pleiise
her to leave the delights of the kitchen,
the young girl turned' back the sat
blankets and snowy sheets of her bed,
made the - impress of her rounded figure
in its snowy depth, laid her innocent
head upon the tastefully trimmed pil
low, and went to her happy dreams. •
