chair, with a patch-work cushion in it, neat contrived out of small pieces of diflerent colour- ed wo len goods, and a larger siscd one, mctherly and old, whose wide arms breathed hospitable invitation, seconded by the solicita- tion of its feather cushions—-a real, comfortable, rsuasivc old chair, and worth, in the wii of om-.st,'homely enjo ent, a dozen of your pllssh or brochetolle drawing-room gentr ; and in the chair, gently swaying back and forward, her is es benton some fine sewing, sat our old friend rlisa. Yes, there she is, paler and thinner than in her Kentucky home, with a world of quiet sorrow lying un er the shadow of her long eye- lashes, and marking the outline of her is e mouth! It was plain to see how old an firm the girlish heart was grown under the discigine of heavy sorrow; and when, anon, her dark eye was raised to follow the gambols of her little Harr , who was s rting, like some tropical butter , hither ansothither over the floor, she shows a depth of firmness and stead resolve, that was never there in her earlier and ha pier days.

y her side sata woman with a bri ht tin pan in her lap into which she was carefu sort- ing some dried peaches. She might be d y-five or sixty; but hers was one of those faces that time seems to touch only to bri_ hten and adorn.

sno so-crape ca , ms c after the strait Quaker pattern, the plain white muslin hand- kerchief, lying in placid folds across her bosom, the drab shawl and dress, showed at once the communi to which she belonged. er fisce was roun and rosy, with a healthful downy softness, su stive of a ripe peach. Her hair, grtislly si vered by age, was rted smoothl ck from a high placid fore ead, on whic time had written no inscription, except “ Peace on , good will to men :" and beneath shone a large pair of clear, honest, loving, brown eyes: you only needed to look straight into them, to eel that you saw to the bottom of a heart as and true as ever throbbcd in women's soin. So much has been said and sung of beautiful ung girls, why don't somebody wake uty of old women! If any want to t up an insiiirstion ‘s head, we refer good friend Rachel Halliday, just yrs in her little rockin hair. It had a turn lor qusking and squeaficing—that other them having taken cold in early life, or fiom some asthmatic afecticn, or perhaps ll-om nervous ders inent: but as she gently swung backward and orward, the chair opt up a kind of subdued “ creech_y crawch , that would have been intolerable in an e or chair. But old Simeon Halliday oflen eclared it wasasfiood as an music to him;snd the children s avowed that they wouldn't miss of hearing mother's chair for anything in the world. For why! for twenty you r more, nothing but lcvinvg words, and gentle moralities, and mother! lo ng-kindness, had come from hycadaches and hesrtsches innumer- able had been cured there-—diflcultiss spiritual and temporal solved there—all by one good, lovln woman. can her! “ d so thee still thinks of goinf to , film!” she mid,‘ “ was quietly oching over or . “ es, ms‘am," mid Him, firmly. “ I must go onward.

“Mary, thee‘d better fill the kettle, hadn't thee!" gently su stod the mo er.

Mary took the ettle to the well, and, soon reappearing, placed it over the stove, where it was soon purring and steaming, a sort of ccnscr of hospitality and good cheer. The peaches, moreover, in obedience to a few hgpntle whispers from Rachel, were soon deposi , by the same band, in a stowpan over the tire.

“ I will go 'in to-morrow, and do any clean- ing there ma be, and look over the mending,”

said Rachel.

“ Ah ! that is well," said Both. “ I've heard," she added, “ that Hannah Shnwood is sick. John was up there last night; I must p there to-morrow.'

“ John can come in here to his meals, if time needs to sin all day,” suggested Rachel.

“ Thank ee, Rachel; we'll see to-mornow. But here comes Simeon.

“How is thee, Ruth!” he mid warm] , as he spread his broad 0 hand for her li s fat palm; “ and how is ohn? "

“ Oh! John is well, and all the rest of our folks,” said Ruth, cheerily.

“ Any newn, father?” said Rachel, as she uttin her biscuits into the oven.

Rachel glanced quickly at her husband, as Elisa tremulously answered, “ Yes ;” her furs, ever u permost, suggesting that possibly there might advertisements out for her.

“Mother!” said Simeon, standing in the porch, and calling Rachel out.

“ What does ce want, father!” said Ra- chel, rulilbing her floury hands, as she went into

“This child's husband is in the settlement, and will be here to-night,” mid Simeon.
