Kly.l Tkey, Jean, then eleven years o'd. and his parents and sister, had left their native place in the sunny sontn ci France, where they had always lived, and had come to make auother heme in a tovn cn the borders of Gsrix any, wh6n the spring was opsning. The father purchased a little cottage, aal they had now to set about accomplishing what teemed to them great undertaking. Firit, to find occupation for the father, b which the faruly were to bs supported; U tear from tteir hearts th-;piiniul longing for their beloved home; and last, to aejuaint themselves with the strange psople aaa the r largoepe. lue father, after a time, found employKent as a gardener on the large estate belonging to the chief man ia that district. Toe mutier and daughter made the little house cheertnl aid homelike, while Jean commencei getting the patc'a of gronid aoat the house ready for a garden; fjr. to these people, born iu a land of, rich fruits and flower?, trees and plants outside were a) neceary to their happiness and comfort a were any inside arrangement of the house The other two difficiltie3 were also being cot quere J; for homesickness and heartaohe graaoally leave, and friend mite thsirap peararce, when peop'e interest themselves in metal, healthful occupations. When Jean had laid out hit be Is. and was ready for planting seeds, he realized that, with the exception of a few which a neighbor had handed him, he had none to s iw. He was afraid, after all, that it would hardly have the appearance of a garden. Hatha f pent the net Iay. in searching through the wocd a few miles off, and returned wita eeeral wild plants and flowers, which b.3 had taken up by their roots, and theje he transferred in the beds. At nicht they all sat around the dim light, ready lor Jean to read fro 31 the large B.ble, which they had brought with tnem from their old home. He tamed over the leaves, aadcime to the chapters of Christ's great sermon, and wdj about to commence the one in which tie lays: "Consider the lilies" but there, lying between the lea?e, was a bunch of flowsri, left to be preist d. which his sister had gathered in the lovely garden of their native pare. They all loosed with glistening eyes upan the sweet lemembrance, retaining Us almost Imperishable perfume, and the mother quietly pre-ecd them to ter ip 1. "Jean, tee here are a few tf our beautifal lilies, and some of the small si-ed pods are upon the stock. Perhaps thare may be come seeds in them." They eagerly opened them, and to their delight, found several tiny, shining seeds. Now, Jean's garden would be charming, irfdeed, in a few weeks, if the seeds did not refuse to give up and expand the clumberic 2 life within thsm; and. in time, th9 lilies would appear, more beaatiful than any o:heis in that country. These were the "Lilies of Pearls," for their name had been given them on account 0! the round drops, white and glisteaing, which terminated their stamens. The people where they grew said that thee floral pearls were once water-drops, and they came to be transformed in this manner: Centuries back there was a great drouth in that country, and almost every green thiag reiithed. The people prayed and cried to Heaven for rain and if their petitions w-rs cot answered, their land would becDaie denoted. All the tender p'ants and floweri had per iiled except the favorite lilies, aud tiny, wilh a teeming fatth, almo3t surpassing to it of the people, still lifted up their sickens J, withering hesds toward Heaven, as thoah ihty felt that rain wou!d yet hi given to restoie them. At last it came. Fits' a thin film over the 1 c arching tky ; a mighty gathering of c!o 1 is ; a few drops of procaine, and theo, ths riin, which brorght tbe earth to li'e again. It was ia u that the brat drops fell into the lilies' bosoms and have remained to. era ever since, adding another beauty to th fairest of (lowers, in token of their gen le faith. Early the next morning Jean placed the precious seeds in the ttraoge earth, and for some time after the spot was carefully watered and examined to see if there was at d trace of their resurrection . Just after Jean htd risen oae morning, h ran into hie garden, and they heard him cry out joyfully, eo the others hastened - toss . All in a tmall green circle the anxiously etcected baby-plants had raised themselves, as ttcngh saying, See. we do not refuse to make this our home." For eeveral weeks more Jean watched and tended the fragile, delicate plants, as thoith all his happiness and fature prospect were to be developed with them. They grew with great rapidity, and in three montas' time the buds of the wonderful lilies stood in clusters on the stocks. All one morning Jean took his position by them, for be wai suie that the perfect ll wrs were about to expand from the opening bu is. He hardly turned his eyes from them. At high noon the full time caaie, and thrae glorious white lilies sprang forth,andgreet3i his eyes and heart, and In rapturous thank:fulcesshe fell on his knees, and lookin upward, cried. "Dear Father, 1 thank Thee!'' Every day a ideal to their number, and no one rased by the cottage without stopping to a dmiie the lovely strangers, and to beg uf Jean to spare them a few of the seels wue 1 thtv came, that the next year they client have come aleo growing in their grdsns. At the time the lilies were in full bloom, an event was about to take- placs iu which all the village felt a lively interest. Toe only daughter of the president of the village the employer of Jean's father was to celebrate her marriage with the one o! her choice. Ehe was known and be'.crei by all,

r!(batd poor, and to tboia in west or tio ble she was ever a true friend. All the pecpie of the village were Invited to the great feast and merry-making to come cfT on that day, and every cae was full of jovial anticipations. Two days before tbetime.in the afternoon, as Jean was watering his garden, the beautiful bride was riding by with her intended hutband. Ehe caught sight of Jean and the white lilies, and had the carrisgs stop close to the garden, eo that she could nave a better yiew cf them. "What beautiful lilies you haye! I never saw-any like tfccm before." "No, lady.' repll d Jean, in his broken laggjere. "for they came from my far-away borne. May I clfer you a few? If voa woild be willing to wear thtm on your wedding dsy. I would eave them all for yoa." 'Iben Jean became a little frightened at tavitgipoken so freely to the lovely, highbm stranger. But she smiled and blushed a little as she g'anced inquiringly at her companion, who esid in answer: "They will te as well suited to you as any fiowerr, even better, they are no purely white." fc he turned again to Jean: "I will wear your lilies with pleanre, and ycu must bring them to me yourself," Then they rode away. "Now," thought Jean, "could anything more fortunate happen to my lilies thai to be worn by such a beautiful, dear lady ? Just then he happened to glance up from them, and saw looking over the low fence, a poor mother with a little sick child inner arrxr. The little sufferer's face was ft isbd w th fever, and he had raised his head from his mother's breast to seethe lilies which looked so tempting, as thcrjgh they might be cooling to the touch. Then he atretched out his imail, thin I a :ds toward them, and looked pleadingly intj his rrottcr's face. Jean's tender heart understood the meanicg cf this, aud he mid, "Does the little boy wantiorxeof my lilies? I have just given them all to the lady, still, I have no doubt for ihc is very gocd but she will spare a few of them though they are for her wedding. Will ycu wait a short time, my little man?" end he tcok the tiny, hot bands in his. The child smiled faintly, as he eaak back upon his mother's shoulder, and she carried him home. Jean ran into the house, and wrote as well as he was able this note: "Dear ladj ; There is a little boy who is quite tick, and his mother is poor. He looked at the lilies. When a child is sick It wants things that it likes so very much more than grewn, well people do. Sometimes it helps it to get well to have pleasant things. The lilies are yours. I told the mother that they weie for jou. Would you mis a few of them? My ixother says that if the stems are steeped in water, they are good for a fver. The little child has the f aver. I am, Jean." Tten, as thero was no one to ctrry It, hs had to go hixme'f, though it was some distance to the youcg lady's home. He handed it to the man in the gate keeper's lodge at the entrance of the p'ace, and in a short time some one came and said ths lady had lent for him. 60 he was ehowu into the ho as 3. and in the K'at hall ehe met him. "You did quite right. Jau," said the, "letting me know the eick chill wished for the lilies. Give them to him. and ask your mother to pleate mako the syiup from tbe stems, and let me hear if the child does not become better. When I can, I will go to lee him, es they may need some aid." loon she sent for some wine, whica she give Jeaa to take to the child. Jean only laid ' Ob, I wish you might both have the lilies." That evenirg he carried the lilies, acd the syrup his mother had prepared, with the wine, to tho poor cot'ags where the child livid. He was lying on his mother's lap. and teemed to bs sleeping, but as Jean stood by him te opened his eyes, aad when be saw the lilies he fceld ont his hands for them, ard his sunken eyes brightened. He kls ed thim, and laid them against his burning face then tank into a dcze again. As the child from that time commenced to recover, tbe mother always felt that the lilies had turned aside the fever, and tha beads tbeir refreshing beauty they posseted a!co a heaiirg power. Jean, thus interested In the child, continued to offer what assstancs he could, and the little loy and he became fast friends. On the mcrning of the great wedding, Jean examined carefully the buds on the stalks, for there was a fair prospect that some niiat open yet in time to bo te.fcen to the la Jy for her to wear. The wedding was to take place late i 1 the afternoon, and then all were la repair to the extensive grounds, where the tables for the feast bad been laid. Afterwards music and dancing were to commence. At the appointed time mc&t all the people of Ue village bad astemblf d tl ere, and Jan bad persuaded the rest of the family to g without him, as he must stay until the lilies were ready to accompany him. They surely would appear in time, and not disappoint him in his darling wish. It was the middle of the afternoon ' when they opened fully the true, tried friends! and Jean, in a happy excitement, ta'.hered tbem and formed them into a shapely bouquet. Be battened to the place where the others bai assembled. How delightful the music which breathed in the air! whatagreit number of gaily-clad, happy people! and what beautiful arches of leaves aad Mowers were arranged above the long tab!oi, heavi'y laden with everything tempting to ths appetite. Bat his ejes swept pastall the34 and rested on a epot, a little raised, where was placed the largest and most beautifal arch ot flowers, and under which stood the newiy married pair, radiant with beauty, youih and happiness, aid eurroandei by their neuesi friends. He did not notice that every one turned to lock at Lim as he ra3hed by them, n p to tte bride, who, teeing him make his way to her, with the lilies eagerly extended in his hard, held out hers to him. He bowed low aud p';iced the fa;r fl lwers in her hand and laid, 'They blossomed for yen alone." Soe replied by faitenicg them on her bctom, and he felt that they had been ra:s.d to Irgh hovor. The people, their at'eition h?in; been d awn to Jean, took notice of this scene and toxe of them having heard of the incident connected wilh the other lilies aad their be ing given up In favor of a poor child, began firt with low expressions of enthusiastic interestthen grade aly it extended into cheering, which became universal, and at hst everybody eeemed beside themselves with excitement.
