ledge, They have taught me the goodness of God My heart is a dungeon of darkness, Where 1 shut them from breaking a rule ; My frown is sufficient correction, My love is the law of the school.

I shall leave the old house in the autumn,

To traverse its threshold no more ;

Ah! how I shall sigh for the dear ones

That meet me each morn at the door.

I shall miss the ‘‘ good nights” and the kisses,

And the gush of their innocent glee,

The group on the green and the flowers

That are brought every morning to me.

‘

Tjshall miss them at raorn and at even, Their song in the school and the street, I shall miss the low hum of their voices, And the tramp of their delicate feet. When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And death says the schoo! is dismissed, May the little ones gather around me,

And bid me “ good night” and be kissed.

ing off some rheumatic or neuralgic pains in the shoulders and back of the neck from which the poor woman had been a sufferer, and which, it was thought, might be brought on by her habit of sitting with her back to the kitchen door that opened to the east, and never altogether excluded the bitter wind that blows from that quarter of compass. Mrs. Ogden had carried her kindness so far as to make the cushion with her own hands; the upper side of it was composed of small hexagonal patches of various very rich old silks, with asort of star of black velvet in the middle; and the lining was one piece of the most brilliant scarlet cloth:

Whilst Sarah was sitting in this chair of state, indulging ina luxury usually denied to her sex, and thus practically asserting the rights of women at atime when they were less openly advocated than now, her

It was unfortunate that Mr. Ogden did not add some taste for architecture to those other pure and healthy tastes of his; but if he had any faculties of the artistic kind, they lay dormant to the end of his life. The house at Twistle was simply a small farmhouse, utterly devoid not only of every pretension to architectural beauty, but even of those more vulgar pretensions which may be generalized under the epithet ‘genteel.’ It did not even containa din- ing room or a drawing room,and the res ception rooms were limited to a single parlor, with a very ordinary carpet on its deal floor, and a set of the commonest mahogany furniture. In the way of fine arts, its only adornments were the portraits of some favorite horses and dogs, executed in oil bya gentleman who visited the local. ity from time to time, and had the shrewd.

admitted that he had not.

On this Dr, Bradly put on an expression of most extraordinary seriousness, and looking very hard at his friend, shook his head and muttered, ‘I thought as much,’

‘What sayn ye?’ said Ogden half irri« tated.

‘I say,’ answered Bardly, once more looking full in Ogden’s face, ‘1 say that when they’n spoil thern stummacks wi’ gin an’ water, an’ weakened their digeshion, they’ll hoftens go ’bout breakfast.’

Now, of all the terrible things, as Dr. Bardly well knew, that could be said to an inhabitant of Shayton, this accusation of not being able to eat a breakfast was the most terrible. All the men in the place more or less were given to drink; and the most moderate and exemplary of them— men who were cited as models of abstinence
