Her inlnd groped hopelessly amid the shadows ol ner position ft* any ray of light by which lo be guided, but it was in vain. Torn where she would,.all aoemed dark and inextricable. At last she despair lately appealed to Betsey.

Oh, Mra. Miles, what can 14&V* Mure, an* its a bard case iutirely,' was tbe reply of tbe poor woman, whose kind heart Wed over Ora's troubles. "I wiab it was ia me power to bolpye's, but I oau't for tbe liio of me see the way meaelf. Oteb, bone! The saints blip us I"

At last a thought occurred to her which she grasped eagerly. I will goto somoclergyman and tell him of my difficulty, Perhaps I may obtain some aid, and give

and heavy heart she start

A her steps in search of a

inister's dwelling and when she did, she applied at three places vainly the gentlemen were either out, or too much engaged to see any one.

At length she mounted tho steps of a palatial like mansion in the most aristocratic part of tho town, and with trenibliug ting«r» touched tho bell. In her hand she held the strip of paper bearing the names of the person* she had called upon, and tho numbers of their dwellings. She bad obtained them by looking at a Directory, and 'his was the la.«t on tbe list. It she fan. il here, where Should sbe go?

While *be stood waiting, tho door opened, and a young gentleman came out hastily. Ilis eye searched ber with one hurried glance, and then ho was about to spring down the steps when Ora ai**o»t»-d him timidly

Your pardon, sir, but will you seo il Mr. Ilaymond is home?" "Yes. You want to see him? Ah, I am afraid you cannot. He is very much engaged. "Tell me what you want. I may help.rou, perhaps." "Thank you, but I prefer speaking to him if possible. Could you not obtain an interview for me?"

Is it of great importance?" Vcrv, sir, to me." "Of what nature, may I ask?"

Excuso mo, please, but I rather explain to the clergyman self."

K'X

The young man's eyes wero on hei /ace in a full, searching gaze, but th» look was kind and respectlul, notwith standing. Ho saw that in her which Boerned to command courtosy, and hiwas rtot indisposed to give it. He turn ed at once without further questions, and re-entered tho house. In a minute he mine back, and begged sho would follow him, which she did, mounting a broad staircase, and pausing bo fere a wide tioor.

Without knocking, the young man opened the door ana said Here, father, Is the lady who is so anxious to son you," and taming to ber motioned her to enter, and bowing respectfully, closed tho door agaiu and retired.

Ora's Heart fluttered painfully as she fonnd herself face to face with a tall, dignified looking man of fifty. His bail was white, i»nd lent to his face something of a benevolent cast but that was destroyed by a more minute survey tho month, whose stern lines were now stretched to jwrtentous length as his eyes asked: \Vell, what do you want?" "Sir," she began, but the words choked her, ami sfie burst into tears, sobbing for a moment violently.

Tho minister neither moved nor spoke hut stood waiting patiently for the explanation of her businoss. This coldness Ora felt keenly, and it served more than anything else could to calm her. Drying her tears resolutely, she steadied her voice aid began again. "Sir, I bog your pardon for this intrusion, bat circunistanoes of a most

I.ast night death severed from me tho last kindred tie, and now all I had to love or comfort mo is gone. I am in a bitter ext remlty. I have not a spot to burv her—my little eld Id, and no means of obtaining one. I caine to' you for assistance. oh, sir. il you can help me to give my little girl a decent burial, all that vou give shall bo amply repaid If uiv life is spared." fche lifted her eye* to bis face ia ber passionate appeal, but his wero pertinaciously studying tho long rows of looks along the walls.

How came you in such forlorn condition? You bavo not always leen poor?" "No, sir. 1'nrfl the few past years, I have never knpwn the neoessity of labor. But mis'brtuno comes to all. I was an orphan when married. When I lost my husband 1 lost my wealth also, and had" no friends, consequently, to go to for aid. I have, therefore, endeavored to work my way upward amongst strangers. The task has proved a very dlflloult one—more difltcult than I ever imagined, and I have failed I stand to dav friendless and helplossr^r

A sad story," be oontinned.

Bad, had!" r£ H»»sh«s»k his he.itl gravely. What have you tried doing?-' he continued. Ora' flushed. «*ould warcely bear tho thought of going into details, but herlovo of trutb forced ber to replv:

At Vint I tried teaching, as governess In a gentleman's ftunily. "Where was that?" ,*^4$

Here, in New York." \Y noso was it V* Pardon me, but I cannot tell you. There are circumstances connected with inv departure that you oould not understand, for 1 cannot explain them clearly to you, and which would render an attempt very painful."

Some misdemeanor of yours, I suppose, which you fear to confess," be remarked, ralhor severely.

No, sir, a misunderstanding through an enemy. I can say truly, I was guilty of no wrong, and discharged my dutv faithfully. as even they would testify.

Humph! Well, after tbat?" After that, took in sewing, but my

health Called, and I oould not support myself on tbe Uttia I oould make by my needle. I got into debt gradually, and after everything I possessed was sold, I was turned from tbe miserable abode I bad occupied for some time. I kuew no

A poor woman saw and took me in for the night, and her kindness has sheltered us since. But she is al most as helpless as I. What to do, ea.nnot tell."

Did you not know tbat there aro those whoso business it is to bury tho poor? Why did you not go to them?" "Oh, sir, I could not bear that my child should be burled as a

pauper.

deed I could not." And why not, since she is such be asked coldly.

For a moment Ora was mute with agony. Then she uttered painfully: I know, sir, that I have doscended to the very depths of poverty, and have no right to expect more. But still I eaanot bear tbe thoughts of this last bitter drop in my bitter cup. I cannot crush tbe feeling of pride that makes tbe idea revolting."

It is your duty to do it, however What does it matter where the dead body is laid, or by whom, or in what condition, after the immortal seul ba* taken its flight to God who gave it? It is our duty to mortify tho flesh, and purge it of such unholy sentiments as you have just expressed. I certainly i»nnot encourage such feelings in you."

Ora covered her face in despair. That cold voice had no pity or sympathy in it. And yet this man claimed to be a servant of God, from whom we are taught to expect love and kindness, as His chosen people. What wonder if for a moment the poor tried heart felt all tho bitterness of a stirring rebellion, not against ber God, but against the test of endurance put upon her. What had she done to deserve the long array of sorrow that had como upon her? First, the lossof home and friends—then toil among strangers—contention with difficulty, Anal disgrace, poverty, sickness, death, and now the cold and cruel crush ing of the last faint hope to which she had clung, and by ono whose hand should have been stretched out in hu mane kindness at least, if no more.

While the bitter tide of feelitip surged within her, the minister sat still, look ing severe and grave as though ho had be*n led by a strong sense of duty to reprove wrong. There was not a softening line the whole cast of features, and as sho looked up once again, words trembling upon her lips of itter import she knew how vain it was to speak, and rose hopelesaly.

A strong impulse held her back, however, when she reached the door. The wish which burned for utterance on ber lips, could not bo withheld. Tears were dried on the

Wbite

cheeks

MOW,

and the

fire of agony and resentment blazed in the large eyes as she turned them full on his face, one hand resting on the handle of the door, and tho whole form shaking from head to foot as sbe said: "(jrod forgive you, sir. You profess to be His servant, and yet this day you have been guilty of an unchristian and cruel action. You have refused me aid when you are surrounded with luxuries. You have denied me a word of sympa thy which would have cost you nothing, even when you see that my heart ibreaking. I am alone, helpless, without friends, without means—anything that would give hope or strength for the future, and when toll you my condition and ask only the haimless gratification of seeing my child—who was all I had, decently buried, you turn me away with the reproof duo to sin, and tell me it is wrong to wish such a thing. Oh! if this is your religion—if thin is tho religion vou live upon, God pity you when you como to die!"

The words were spoken, and sbe turned away relieved, when the dumb struck minister looked after her retreat ing form as though sbo had been some wild creature which suddenly sprang up to confound him, and then to vaaisn from sight. Before he could recall his xcatterod wits, she was gone and tbe servant had closed the door, once more shutting her out to drift helplessly in the wide world.

Tho stength of despair alone steadied her footsteps as she turned her face once more toward the humble domicil where her dead rested. Sbe paid no attention to the hundred eyes tbat gazed upon her as she wonded her way through busy crowds. She thought of nothing but her helplessness—and tho bitter agony of her heart, which seemed likely to break with Its wearying load. And yet many an eye was turned upon the pale, thin face as sho passed, with the strange look in the blue eyes tbat gazed straight before her, and tbe purple, compressed lips tbat closed like a vice upon hor misery.

Thus she pursued her way from amid tho throiigs to tho more humble portion of the city. When within short distance of Mrs. Milea's abodo she paused and clasped her hands together in a gesture of Indescribable anguish.

What can I do broke from her lips in passionate accents. Must I submit to a fate so cruel? OhIGod, what have I dono that I should be pnnlshod thus? Forgive me, if I rebel, but oh, Thou hast tried me hardly, and I am weak. What can I do Show me a path that I may walk out of the darkness into tho light! God be merciful!"

There was a loose nlle of old boards heaped against tbe re nee near where she stood, and sho sat down upon them, dropping her face in her hands. The world had dealt very hardly with ber, and do not condemn her too harshly, dear reader, If sbe appears so ohfldisbly weak and helpless. Who could pass through such a series of affliction, and come out strong and endurng still, readv to battle on with adversity

Here began a strugglo between heirt and brain, lleason sirovo to oalna tho Ude that raged within her breast, while Love and Keeling clamored all tne more wildly for tho restraint Reason endeavored to' put upon them.

Reason is ever without sympathy, but the strength she gives Is invaluable. And now her subtle sophistry would make itself folt, "Of what u«e to vield thus?" shesuld, wtsHv. "God nover "rested a tiding without tho power nf «elf-contml. God Is ItW "He would not create wants without the moans wherewith to supply them, nor sufferings too great for tbe strength to bear. He tries for pur pose*, and gives strength according to vour needs. Have faith and rise tip. Why be so utterly cast down? What have you done with the teachings of a lifetime, tbat thov have no power now to sustain you Has experience thrown her lessons away upon you? That which vou are now suffering you have brought voluntarily upon yourself. You left a homeot luxury wl the friends who idolised you, because one only, whom you trusted, proved unworthy. Did you come out into tbs world exprvllng to find a pathway of flowers? Had yon done to, your tirut lesson must have shown you your error. Step by step you havs struggled through thorns. Will you pause now in the midst of difllculty ami innkc uu further tJTurVs

or will you rise and struggle onward There is still the power within von Only onergy grows lasy for want of e* ercise. Bring it forth and use it for good purposes. You are young—the world calls you talented and aocom plished. God has fitted you for a useful life. Are you going to waste it in useless pining? Illse up bravely, meet your fate whatever it be. and uaovo onward."

Bot the sore hoart cried out "What can I do Every home seems crushed. All tbat life holds deal' has been taken away. First, the idol I worshipped crumbles to dust at my feet. Then comes suflering, toil, disgraoe, poverty, sicknoss and death. Why must llfo be so laden with woe Energv and hope both lio crushed, because nothing in the dark future encourages them to riso from tho mountain weights that bear thuin down. They cannot throw off tbe load, for there is no purpose In attempt —no motl\o in the future. Life is dark and useless. Let me die and be at rest.*' "Away with such selfishness," cried Reason sternly. "Do you live for sell alone, or will you try to forget it, and devote something to others? God created his creatures with responsive emotions. Forget yourself awhile, and try to enlighten the woes of some who, like you, have wept themselves blind almost wun helpless sorrow. Go and try to comfort them, and see what a sense of peace will come upon you when you read vour success upon their happy faces

Tho colloquy was endod suddenly, and Ora started aa a hand fell lightly upon her arm.

Pardon me," said tho same manly voice sho had but lately heard at the minister's. "I fancied you were in trouble, and 1 bavo followed you. I did not need words to tell ine that vour mission to iny father was fruitless. What can I do for you

With a beating heart she looked up into his face. It was generous atid kind, and sympathy alone marked its expression. She fe instinctive trust in his manliness as he stood un before her, but her voice faltered painfully as sbe answered 4C.HS JiMW:

Nothing. Ms .,-'*4 "i*5 "Nothing! For what did you seek mv father

Temporary aid in a sad affliction. My child is dead,and Iwunted to bury it decently. I thought ho would help me, but he will not. He tells me that there aro those who will give the poor a pauper's burial—no more. Oh it will kill me! I could have taken charity, even from bun, perhaps, though I meant to lischarge the debt that il might not be called by that name. From you I cannot."

And why not from me?" Becauso—because—your father is a minister of God, whose mission it is to comfort and to relieve. He is an old white haired man.' It seems right to look to him for help whon in distress.

And ho turned you from liiin!—but why would it not. seem tho same if I tided you bo persisted.

She did not answer, and bo continued with a half smile. I understand. I-am a young man, and 3'ou do not like the idea of obliga tion. Strange! Even in tho lowest leptbs of misery, custom bath still its power, and conventionality holds tightly upon tbe reins that binds society."

Ilis last words were rather mutterod than spoken, yet Ora caught their im port, and blu-died painfully that sbe should have betrayed her feelings so plainlv. After a moment he resumed

I assure you that my sympathy prompts me unconditionally to offer you aid and in your distress. But I respect your feelintrs and would spare them. If lean help vou, say the word, und you-shall have what you need. I offer to give you nothing only to loan you that which necessity requires. You can more thanTepay me, if you will."

How—iu what way?" murmured Ora. faintly. He pained thoughtfully one moment, then said:

I have a friend who is very ill, and for whom I wish a kind and tender nurse. Come and take care of lier until she is ablo to be removed, and I will pay you well for the service."

Tho color came and went rapidly in Ora's face, and she deliberated for a lit tie while almost breathlessly. Was not this a Providential intervention, and should she disregard it? The man was* an utter stranger. Whom the "friend" might prove, she might surmise, yet sho had no right to surmise unllattcringly. Her feelings wore of a conll ct ing nature, and he saw it.

Madam, I perceive you hesitate, and think I understand the cause. But let me assure you that you need have no fear of committing yourself. Only tho desire to aid you has prompted the offer. I might get others whom I know to fill tbo placo I offer you, but I see how painfully you aro situated, and feeling your worthiness, I am willing to trust you blindly, though I nevor saw you till to-day. I am not in the habit of acting thus upon impulse. But a part of your conversation with my father I overheard, and I must confess it angered mo beyond measure. He is tny father, however, and it does not become his sou to talk of his heartless cruelty. Let it pass. Will vou accept asstanca on the terms I offer?r'

With ono more reassuring glance at tho earnest, manly face, Ora answered gratefully.

I will, and thank you sincerely." VVhat is your address ho asked. With a sadly dreary smilo she turned her faeo towards Mrs. Miles's humble tenement, and pointed it out with her finger.

There, for a few hours I have found shelter. There you cau find mo when you want rae."

Taking a memorandum book from his Docket, he marked It down and replacug it, handed ber A small roll of notes. "There aro twenty dollars. I Will send a man to take the child's measure, and in tho meantime have a grave propared in cemetery, that is, if you would like her buried there."

I could not ask for more," sho returned subduedly. "Oh, sir, you are kind!"

Hufth! do not speak of It. When all is over, I will come foryou." IIo held out hla hand kindly, and said as he took leave:

Do not lose your faith in Ood be-} camo some of His "professing" children err blindly. They have rigid notions, and mean only to do right. God is good however, and it Is to Him only we must look, not stopping to judge by the examples set by frail humanity."

Tears fell fast as he turned away, so that Ora scarcely saw' his retreating form. Her heart was too full for words of utteranco, and ho went away without bearing lier thanks.

Ah I what a load was lifted from her heart. Her present need was supplied, an In this lesson ber heart took fresh b«pe and tilth for tbe future.

Wiui an earnestly grateful heart, she turned back to look upon ber dead befom pntting her from sight forever,
