And ber heart glowed with deep and fervent joy as she remembered that her heavenly Father would see aud approve, and that perhaps ber mother's sainted spirit might be bending lovingly, joyfully over the child who was striding to do right. The S-ibbilh, with its sweet hours of still- ness and heart communion, aud of sacred worship in ,: tho holy place of prayer," strengthened Fanny's ,new-formed resolu- tions; aod she went out early .Monday morning to sec her washerwoman, whom she had heard was ill. As if by a providential arrangement, (aro not all the minutest events of our daily life, providential?) she saw on a crossiog just before her the same pale-faced, poorly clad woman who had in terested her so much the day before. She hastened to join her, yet, fearing to seem jepebautment of the hour.

Yet to ail the same objections had arisen ; this was common ; that is inele> gant and in bail taste; another too expen- sive ; and'others, very many others, Kate -Already had. The shopkeepers were un wearied io their endeavors tO~"pbSa!U their fastidious customcrs.and placed before them was now entering scciety'with all tho ad vantages which youth, cultivation of timid, and'elcgance of manner gave. Her aunt had been affectionate and kind, almost as her own mother, but she differed widely in one refpect; she was fashionable, worldly woman, who attached great importance to outward show, and had never felt tho con- straining power of religious principle.— But the last wish and tbe last prayer of tbe dyiog mother's heart had been answer- ed, and amid tbe temptation to a different course which bad surrounded ber, Fanny had been led to love holiness and toconse crate herself cheerfully and fully to the scrviceof tbe Savior.

" I belicVo I shall take this," said Fanny at last in a despairing tone, laying her fingor on a littlo watch stand of most ex- quisite design ; "of en Kate's taste must he satisfied with anything so unique and beau- tiful'as this." The little watch stand was of alabaster; tho principal figure upon it was a sleeping Cupid wrought into such symmetrical pro portions, and with a face of such be \ itch- tug sweetness, that Fanny had turned again and again to look at it with fresh delight. l£"g"ratiticd her artistic" tasto as nothing else had dono through tho morning ; the " only objection to it was the price—seven- ty-tivQ dollars. •' It is much more than I designed to give," added she, " but it is tho only really beautiful thing I have seen this morning., and as you say, Helen, one must give her something deceut." ^ " Oh, I shouldn't mind the price if I too often glided thoughtlessly with the cur rent, and found it very difficult to do what her conscience dictated ; and very often sho mourned bitterly over her deficiencies, and resolved to make new efforts for pro- gress in the heavenly life. On tho evening to which we have r£fi;r red, as sho sat alone in her luxuriously fur- nished room, a train of self-reproachful thoughts passed painfully through her mind. She saw she was wasting life, frit- tering it away to no good pUrposo. " I am perpetually busy," thought'sbe, '^but what do I accomplish? Whom do I make bet tcr or.happicr ? What except selfish enter- tainment or enjoyment do I aim at or achieve? Yet I have health, time, and somo little portion of wealth atraycom mand. Oh, it ought not, ?nust not be so I" Bitter and repentant tears filled her eyes ; the imagis of her mother roso before ber. and sbo felt that if she bad lived, it would have been easy for ber to be good. " But all this is weakness," she said at length, ris if you are not an invalid?" "My health is not quite good, ma'am, but I am able to go out on all pleasant days " " In what part of the city, do you live ?" ' -A' bright'-flush pissed ever the pale face, and evading the question, she replied, " in the lower part, sinoe I came to the city." •' Then you are from tho country. 11 ; 'Yes, ma'am, I lived io Greenbrook, Connecticut, till two years ago." In Greenbrook, the dear, sweet home of Fanny's childhood, the epot where her mother had died, and where her_preciOus dust nftw slumbered! 11 Did you ever know there a Mrs. Tal- bot?" she asked hurriedly-, without stop" ping to_lhink bow unlikely it-wa&-&he ever did. " iMrs. William Talbot, who died there several years ago?" " Yes ; did you know her ?" "Know her ?" answered tho poor woman, her face lighting up with a glow of pleasure, "Yes, indeed; I nursed her when her lit tie Fanny was born, and she was always the truest, kindest friend a poor woman ever had I It was a sad day for Greenbrook when she passed away. If she were living now I" "What would you wish of her? Tell me." Tbe stranger lifted a quick earnest glance to tbe speaker's face, aod exclaimed, "No. it cannot be, and yet there is jnst the look about the eye. Can you be a relative of hers ? M " Ye3, she was my mother. I am the lit lie Fanny you cared for twenty years ago." "Then," said the womao with streaming tears, " my prayer is answered; God has not forgotten me. I knew you were io New York, and I felt sure that-if I could find you, I could tell you all my troubles; for I was certain your mother's child could never have a bard or unfeeling heart." Fanny's eye9 glistened with tender emo- tions. She felt as if God bad indeed blest her desire to do right, by giving her this opportunity of helping her mother's friend io the boor of need. It was almost like helping her^ and a thrill of joy ran through her soul as sbo remembered who had said, " Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done itunto me." Mrs. Heed promised to call on Fanny in tbe afternoon, being tben on ber way to .return some sewing to an employer ; and' thoy parted, Fanny going on her errand of mercy with a light heart.

I srnmld think she might afford a decent dress, if nothing more." Thc gentleman to whom thc remark was made turned to look at the lady re ferred to, and though he did uot say it, he thought, as she stood there, in her robo of snowy white, with no ornameut'save one pure white camellia in her beautiful tresses, her face glowing with a sereue iuward light which irradiated every feature, tbat never before had he seeu any woman who was so nearly tho realization of his long-cherished ideal of feminine lovlioess. It cost Fanny something, nay much. (for. she had a gentle heart which grieved to annoy JOT pain her friends.) to break away from the plans bid for her, aud separate herself so entirely from her uncle and aunt for the summer; but io rambling about the shady'nooks, and fragrant musical old woods of Greenbrook io the quiet summer hours, she inhaled fresh, vigorous life with every breeze; yes, fresh mental and spirit ual as well as physical life ; and abe return- ed to the city, when the leaves were strew-, ing her favorite walks, aod tbe autumn winds singing their wild, sad requiem over the departing beauty of tbe forests, a stronger, wiser, aod nobler woman ; a wo man living henceforth a life of self denying activity for the good of others, and of true allegiance to all that was best and highest in her nature; a noble, happy,serene life, which diffused far aud near the blessings of a pure example,' as well as the choice aod precious gifts which her true bonevoleeco, guided by a refined taste, knew so well how to suitably dispense.

And ber heart glowed with deep and fervent joy as she remembered that her heavenly Father would see aud approve, and that perhaps ber mother's sainted spirit might be bending lovingly, joyfully over the child who was striding to do right.

The S-ibbilh, with its sweet hours of still­ness and heart communion, aud of sacred worship in ,: tho holy place of prayer," strengthened Fanny's ,new-formed resolu­tions; aod she went out early .Monday morning to sec her washerwoman, whom she had heard was ill. As if by a providential arrangement, (aro not all the minutest events of our daily life, providential?) she saw on a crossiog just before her the same pale-faced, poorly clad woman who had in terested her so much the day before. She hastened to join her, yet, fearing to seem jepebautment of the hour.

" I belicVo I shall take this," said Fanny at last in a despairing tone, laying her fingor on a littlo watch stand of most ex­quisite design ; "of en Kate's taste must he satisfied with anything so unique and beau­tiful'as this."

The little watch stand was of alabaster; tho principal figure upon it was a sleeping Cupid wrought into such symmetrical pro portions, and with a face of such be \ itch-tug sweetness, that Fanny had turned again and again to look at it with fresh delight. l£"g"ratiticd her artistic" tasto as nothing else had dono through tho morning ; the

" only objection to it was the price—seven-ty-tivQ dollars.

too often glided thoughtlessly with the cur rent, and found it very difficult to do what her conscience dictated ; and very often sho mourned bitterly over her deficiencies, and resolved to make new efforts for pro­gress in the heavenly life.

On tho evening to which we have r£fi;r red, as sho sat alone in her luxuriously fur­nished room, a train of self-reproachful thoughts passed painfully through her mind. She saw she was wasting life, frit­tering it away to no good pUrposo. " I am perpetually busy," thought'sbe, '^but what do I accomplish? Whom do I make bet tcr or.happicr ? What except selfish enter­tainment or enjoyment do I aim at or achieve? Yet I have health, time, and somo little portion of wealth at ray com mand. Oh, it ought not, ?nust not be so I" Bitter and repentant tears filled her eyes ; the imagis of her mother roso before ber. and sbo felt that if she bad lived, it would have been easy for ber to be good. " But all this is weakness," she said at length, ris

but I am able to go out on all pleasant days "

" In what part of the city, do you live ?" ' -A' bright'-flush pissed ever the pale face, and evading the question, she replied, " in the lower part, sinoe I came to the city."

•' Then you are from tho country.11

;'Yes, ma'am, I lived io Greenbrook, Connecticut, till two years ago."

In Greenbrook, the dear, sweet home of Fanny's childhood, the epot where her mother had died, and where her_preciOus dust nftw slumbered!

11 Did you ever know there a Mrs. Tal­bot?" she asked hurriedly-, without stop" ping to_lhink bow unlikely it-wa&-&he ever did.

" iMrs. William Talbot, who died there several years ago?"

" Yes ; did you know her ?" "Know her ?" answered tho poor woman,

her face lighting up with a glow of pleasure, "Yes, indeed; I nursed her when her lit tie Fanny was born, and she was always the truest, kindest friend a poor woman ever had I It was a sad day for Greenbrook when she passed away. If she were living now I"

"What would you wish of her? Tell me."

Tbe stranger lifted a quick earnest glance to tbe speaker's face, aod exclaimed, "No. it cannot be, and yet there is jnst the look about the eye. Can you be a relative of hers ?M

" Ye3, she was my mother. I am the lit lie Fanny you cared for twenty years ago."

"Then," said the womao with streaming tears, " my prayer is answered; God has not forgotten me. I knew you were io New York, and I felt sure that-if I could find you, I could tell you all my troubles; for I was certain your mother's child could never have a bard or unfeeling heart."

Fanny's eye9 glistened with tender emo­tions. She felt as if God bad indeed blest her desire to do right, by giving her this opportunity of helping her mother's friend io the boor of need. It was almost like helping her̂ and a thrill of joy ran through her soul as sbo remembered who had said, " Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done itunto me."

Mrs. Heed promised to call on Fanny in tbe afternoon, being tben on ber way to

.return some sewing to an employer ; and' thoy parted, Fanny going on her errand of mercy with a light heart.

Mrs Hood's story, though a very sad ooe, was by no means an uncommon one Left a widow, she bad maintained herself respectably by her labor in the village of Greenbrook till her son sent for her to come to him.

liitpi drawing, prett i ly framed by her own hands, aud sent with an affectionate note, is not among them ; that is a heart gift too sacred aud dear to bo paraded.— The absence of anything cost ly from' Fan­ny Talbot was often commented on, accor ding to the individual views of the speak­ers, but these commeuts never reached her ear, or if they did. had no power to-disturb thc sweet serenity of her soul. •• Why, if there isn't Fanny Talbot in that same white silk she wore to Mary Gray's party: How ridiculous! I srnmld think she might afford a decent dress, if nothing more."

Thc gentleman to whom thc remark was made turned to look at the lady re ferred to, and though he did uot say it, he thought, as she stood there, in her robo of snowy white, with no ornameut'save one pure white camellia in her beautiful tresses, her face glowing with a sereue iuward light which irradiated every feature, tbat never before had he seeu any woman who was so nearly tho realization of his long-cherished ideal of feminine lovlioess.

It cost Fanny something, nay much. (for. she had a gentle heart which grieved to annoy JOT pain her friends.) to break away from the plans bid for her, aud separate herself so entirely from her uncle and aunt for the summer; but io rambling about the shady'nooks, and fragrant musical old woods of Greenbrook io the quiet summer hours, she inhaled fresh, vigorous life with every breeze; yes, fresh mental and spirit ual as well as physical life ; and abe return­ed to the city, when the leaves were strew-, ing her favorite walks, aod tbe autumn winds singing their wild, sad requiem over the departing beauty of tbe forests, a stronger, wiser, aod nobler woman ; a wo man living henceforth a life of self denying activity for the good of others, and of true allegiance to all that was best and highest in her nature; a noble, happy,serene life, which diffused far aud near the blessings of a pure example,' as well as the choice aod precious gifts which her true bonevoleeco, guided by a refined taste, knew so well how to suitably dispense. Many rose up aod called her blessed ; and to her could be truly applied the holy words, ''lilessed is he \f1io considercth tho poor; the Lord will preserve him, aud keep hiin alive, aud lie shall be blessed upon the earth."
