he stopped, and turning round to the lad, looked at him for a monent or two, and said kindly "That's a heavy load you have, my boy. Come! let me help you." And the gentleman took the basket and carried It to the top of the hill. "There. Do you think you can get along now?" said he with a smile, as he set the basket down, "or shall I carry it a little farther?"

"Oh no, thank you sir," returned the boy, with a glow of gratitude on his fine face. "I can carry it now very well, and I am very much obliged to you." "You are right welcome my little man," said the gentleman and passed on. Twenty years from that time, a careworn man, well advanced in life, sat motionless in an old arm-chair, with his eyes fixed intently upon the glowing grate. He was alone, aud appeared to be in a state of deep abstraction. In a little while however, the door of the room opened, and the light form of a young and lovely girl glided in. "Papa," said a low, sweet voice, and a hand was laid on the old man's arm. "Is It you dear?" he returned, with a low sigh. "Yes, papa," and the young girl leaned against him, and parted with her delicate fingers, the thin, gray locks that lay in disorder about his forehead. "I would like to be alone for this evening, Florence," said the old man. I have a good deal to think about, and expect a person on business." And he kissed her tenderly, yet sighed as he pressed his lips to hers.. The girl passed from the room as noiselessly as ha had entered. The old man had been calm before her coming in, but the moment she retired, he became agitated, and arose and walked the floor nneasily. He continued to pace to and fro for nearly half an hour, when he stop

And folded oh, so lovingly Her tiny wings upon my breast.

Lire's Ilnrvest Field. V MISS A. L. WOOTIBRtDCC. When morning wakes the earth from sleep With soft and kindling ray, We rise, life's harvest field to reap Tis ripening day by day. To reap, sometimes with joyful heartAnon with tearful eye; We see the spoiler hath a part We reap with smile and sigh. Full oft the tares obstruct our way; Full oft we feel the thorn; . . Our hearts grow faint we weep, we prayThen hope is newly born. Hope that, at last, we all shall comeThough rough the way aud long Back to our Father's house, our home, And bring our sheaves with song.
