Alice wont one morning to carry the quar- terly payment to Close. nnd found him looking very pale and hag “You are not well,” said she. “No,” replied he, ‘ Ihave been ailing some time.” «Can Ido anything for you, sir? Shall T call a doctor?” «A doctor? no, child, that would costa dollar,” svid the miser. Just then he was seized with a violent pain, Alice quiekened the fire, and ran home to get something: for his relief, She soon came back with hot tea and bread; she toasted the bread, and made him as comfortable as possible. “Til come in to-night, and see how you | re,” said: she. “Thank you!? . The word came hard, as if he was not in the habit of using i Alice went that night, and every night alter till the old man was cons ably better; she felt she had hut done her duty, and thought of no reward, Three years passed, and Alice was 1 young lady, with a fiee fair to look upon, and manners of equal grace. Daring the three years her mothey: th had been eradually failing, and required much of hor time and attention. She supported | her mother aud herself by doing the wash- ing that her mother fermerly had done. She had head regularly from Robert Grey, ‘Robert. an hour ago I did not think I could ever be happy again. If you will take me, grief-stricken as Lam, 1 will be yours.” “T will, my darling; and God grant that I may be tender and true to my pre- cious treasure.’ Hearing of Alice’s approaching mar- riage, a lady for whom Mrs, Evans hid sewed, sent Alice a note containing her good wishes and twenty dollars, which she urged her to accept, Soon after Alice called upon Closetist, to pay him the rent due, and inform him that she would give up the tenement. To her surprise the miser refused to take the money, and ask- ed her, in a kinder tone than was his wont, what were her plans for the future Blush- ingly, Alice told him, and begged that he would take his just due. He could not be prevailed upon, giving as iw reason that she nad met wiia great trouble and that he had not forgotten her kindness to him when he was ill, Alice thanked him, and took her departure, Very quietly she took upon herself the marriage vows, and Robert Grey carried her to his distant home with a proud heart, IIe had succeeded well, and liad risen to a place of importance in the house which he entered but a few vears before, About two years alter their marriage, talking of things past and gone, Robert asked his wife what beeame of the old miser whose shoes she picked up in the alley one afternoon, — Alice related to him all she knew, not omitting his list aetand expressed her wonder at his sudden kind: ness. “But did you not hear the bell ring?” He went to the door, and returned with a letter directed to ‘Mrs, Robert Grey,” in acramped hand, On opening tt Alice read the following words :- * You will doubtless be surprised at the contents of this letter, Before it meets your gaze the hand that writes if will be cold in death. You remember ‘Miser Close- fist,’ as the people called him?

Alice’s moans had grown very slender in consequence of the expenses attendant upon her motheu's sickness, and she found that she had not the money to meet the quarterly payment to Closefist. She thought, as they had always been +o punciual, that he would excus onee, and hoped in a tew days to have the required sum. Before she could obtain it the miser called and demanded his due. Alice explained to him the cause of her delay, and begged fora few days, With much grumbling he consented to give them «© week longer, Before the time had expired Mrs, Evans’ disease took an alarming form, and Alice was motherless On the day appointed, Closefist: made his appearance and asked for the rent, He had not heard of Alice’s bereavement. “O sir,” said Alice, “I wish it was in my power to pay you; but you must know how Lam nev situated.” ‘Do you mean to «ay that you cannot pay me to-day ! id he, grufily, ** 7 cannot, j thing about her { ns was quife fees | familia, & childish repose [had never no- ble, and in spite of Alice's efforts she grew | tiecd, that reminded me forcibly of the He told | I tion and careful | realized that it was my own sister who jlay before me. jmyself to you, but EP did not wish to bur e them for| draws nigh. | Lbeg you to aecept it with blessings for Fyour gentleness and kind acts which ‘in j but with chavity. «Why not?” mother! my mother!

In the mysteries of Hindostan, the aspirant wis presented with a consecrated Sash, con- sisting of a cord of ning threads, which was worn trom the left shoulder to the right side, An apron, composed of the three masonic colours—blue, purple and. sears ‘let—was worn by the Jewish priesthvod ; and the prophets, on all occasions, wheu about to perform any solemn duty, invest- ed themselves with a girdle or apron. Lastly, all the ancient statues of the heathen gods, which haye been discovered in Greece, Asia, or America, are decorated with superb aprons.
