The dainty shadow ro)ld smooth ly along the level lawii at Green- lands as tho littlo fleecy clouds chased each other coylj over rtie broad face of tho white August sun ; and in these shadows hurried on they ran uj^Nettie's white dress and touched for a msment the little thoughful face. But thoy passed quickly And softly, as shadows should pass from a young and guile less face, though some oiie strolling towards her thinks that these flit ting shadows stay too long in tho big, radiant-eyes. AT young man this soma one was, in a summer suit, and an old felt hat on the very back of his hand some head ; and as Nettie sits on the grass thinking how sweetly and sadly the chime from the distant steeple breaks the Sunday hush upon tho valley, lie stands and looks down upon her with a very tender light in his laughing gray eyes. I wonder you did not hide in my absence, as you geuerally do. I was gathering this," he said, hold ing out a delicate, half-opened tea rose. " How beautiful, Graham," she said, her whole face showing the passionate love that had grown up within her for these lieauties that had been so unattainable when at home. " It is for me t" " Ne," he answered, slowly draw ing back his hand and beginning to fasten the rose in his coat, " not unless you ask me prettily." " Then we may aa well go to tea ; the bell has rung." She blushed a little in her effort to look dignified, but Graham read the childish nature, he thought, \ery easily. He. knew whether his random, tender speeches hurt or pleased her. " Look straight into my eyes," he said, laughing, and say " Dear Graham, give me the flower, please.' You know exactly how to plead when you like, little lady." "I have ne\er anything to plead for now." she said, -quaintly. " I have a great deal more than I want, in every way. "What should jl plead fer T " Is it so new to you to have anything you want I" asked Graham, tenderly. I " You know it is," she said, with i a little gulp. " Come, let us^go." " Stop, Nettie," he said, slipping down beside her on the grass. " I will not go on asking you about your past life as I have been 'fond of doing. It was quite nati Nettie," he said huskily. "Mr. O'Noil has never been as a father to you.

" I seem to know ojnly three peo ple In the world," said Nettie with a piteous sadness in her great inno cent yn, " and you make me cast off one of thero.or two." " Not I," said Graham eagerly, " it was he who did it first, this loving father of yours. Let us talk no more of him. Here is your rose ; it will soon brighten up the aad little face." "Those words we sang have haunted me ever since, Graham," she said, walking slowly beside him, looking up into his face with eyes he could not fathom. " I will rise, and go to1- my. father." Do you re member f' ~* "That father was a generous, loving one," he answered, gently, " else his son would not have gone back to him, you may be sure.

"What's the matter with the child, Graham t" " 1 expect she will tell you her self," he said fretfully as he stood opposite her, leaning against the doorway : " I think she is hanker ing after that miserable life you rescued her from." " Nonsense, -it is impossible." " I faar it is so, mother. Some ridiculous notion of duty seems to have been always in her head. You know how happy she has been ; yon know how changed she is.

They only found in the sunny oharaber the pretty clothes in which they had delighted to see her, and a little penitent letter that breathed a quaint, resolute bravery through all its pathos, and had only one line blotted I with tears. ' " I wi 1 arise and go to my father.' Graham alone in the bright empty room covered his eyes with his shaking hands, and tried1 to imagine for what those tears had been shel. And bis sad, dry eyes could ret d, in tbe few tear-stained words, it little of the agony the lonely eiild had suffered on that Sunday light. CHAPTER ni. "Whure shall you be to-night, O'Neill" The p irson addressed, a tall elder ly genth man with a haggard face and listl a step, stopped, and turn ed indolently. "Nowhere, Grey. Nowhere in particular, I suppose; or rather in any spot to which (he spirit takes me." " Why didn't you honestly put it plural at once ! I'm glad to hear it, though. We have a little party at Harris'; I'll call for you on my way. We shall be able make a capital night of it," Mr. O'Neill's face had flushed oddly. The time was not very far behind him when this man dared not have spoken to him so; dared not to have taken it for granted that he would go to this place, which he had shunned and avoided through these latet more reckless years. " I am sure that I can come,n he began, but stopped, seeing his com panion's broad gaze of curiosity fixed upon this flame that would rise hot ly in his face against his will. He shook the hesitation away with the pride which was meaner and falser far than the shame that had caused it. " I do not know that I have an other appointment." " I'm sure you haven't," said the other, roughly. " You owned that to begin with, and I rather suppose you don't intend to sit at home in single blessedness, and sb'ed a tear for the departed daughter. Oh, what a melancholy Sbylock, and yet no ducats gone, only a daugh ter 1 You look very like a mourn ing parent. But let me recommend you to mourn no longer, j Cast away vour weeds.

I _ " T have forgotten," said, Mr.' O'Neill, in sudden heat, *' though it is no business of yours. I have no doubt I shall be at liberty. You will call in then, Grey, will jjou 1 Good, evening." I Why should he not go there? Why should he not go anywhere, now ? Who was there to contami nate except him'self 1 and was there anything to keep him at home 1 But had anything ever been there that could ! keep him at home ? whispered conscienoe. Conscience had not been a soothing companion to him lately, while tbe one evil spirit of old stood with seven other spirits more wicked than himself within tho very threshold of the mean it, she is so happy with us." " I have thought so, but I sup pose we do not understand her," he said, speaking wearily. " She will be sure to speak of it again to night, and we must try what our united persuasions will do." 1 The Sunday twilight crept down the distant hills, and the quiet valley rested under its drooping wings; but the shadow of those soothing wings fell heavily and sadly upon the little group around that optn window, through which the summer evening fragrance crept in wooingly. The mother, hart and disappoint ed, as her gentle arguments failed to convince the girl whose voice was so firm whilo her soft, childlike face paled and quivered, watched her son as he stood over Nettie, pleading with sad earnestness, or paced the room with hot and angry words, that pierced the little breaking heart which the love of his bad stirred into a new life, and brought! hot sharp tears into the eyes that\ookedout'among the deepening shadows with their J old gate, searching for something beyond their ken. They pictured her two homes in all their titter eontrast. They re minded her of 'the change in herself which these few months had affected. I They recalled bar as Alia had come to them with ibar itwo shabby dresses and her wowi face. They fancied her going back to hor stag nant, comfortless life after these months of perfect sympathy and companionship, going back to the hard' scraping economy which Iter father enfotfo&l upon her after he easeful, careful abundnnce of this new home. But the answer was| all one. Then these two friends pleaded their own love for her, their lonliness if she left them, their disappointment in her., The little Augers knit tightly herself, in her old familiar brown dress and short, blaok apron, shin ing with age and wear, but having a wonderfully .pleasant, home-like look, with tbe keys sticking out of one of the little pockets, and handkerchief out of the other, Hit atood looking t her as if he feared to more and break the dream. And tbe lil tie face, in its child-like puri ty, Had in its brave, unselfish t*[n- derqees, seemed to come towards nim across the tainted current of his backward life, showing bim Something that might lie beyond. He felt an odd, childish longing to stretch out his arms to her, and let her guide him out of reach and heat ing of its mad rush. Perhaps un consciously he did so, for his arms were round her, and the quiet little head lay at rest against his beating heart. " Father," she whispered, " will you take me back though I have sinned V He drew hei closer, closer, but no words could pass his close, tight lips. " Are you glad, father %" (There were such sobbing tears in the low voice). " Kiss me if you are. There ii no need to tell me so in words, we shall understand each other always now." Little Nellie, in all her twenty- one years, had never remembered such a kiss aa that, and it brought the tears that struggled in her voice straight up to her eyes. But she did not hide them now; "Father," she said, looking at bim with great, glad eyes shining through them, " it is far, far better to come home." j And then the father remember ing the life his child had led in this [home of his bowed his head on hers, and let the childish tears flow as they would from his own tired ejea; knowing, perhaps, they would add nothing to the stained current. Such a tea it was! Perhaps no stronger than usual, but so differ ent. With the dainty little figure at the end^ of the table, and the flowers, and the care and tenderness, and the gay loving talk. But how |rudely it was broken into by that feharp ring at the front door bell. I "Shall you be away longT asked Nettie; wistfully, as her father rose hurriedly to leave the room. " Only a few minutes. I do no want that person to be brought in here." And in those same few minutes he returned, and, with a sigh of wonderful relief, sat down at the open window. " Now we are _ Nettie, softly, as sbe took her place beside' him, " father, shall I sing f ou what we sang at church yester day morning =the words God sent to .bring me home again f The -sunshine had left the narrow street There were no smiling scented meadows round here. No jweet chime floated from the distant hills. No earnest, pleading voice was there, falling with untold ten derness- upon her heart. No brave eyes read her unspoken wishes. No gentle motherly kiss fell softly on her lips. Yet the wide, happy eyes looked out, at, last, without their searching gaze. And she bad her reward, beside the greatest of all in the perform ances of her duty.

What Shall the Harvest be? Coming from a paper which does not advertise piety as a stock in trade, the following is note-worthy. We quote the Chicago Daily News of the 15th inat ; Under the uords heading this article it says: " Now that Messrs. Moody and Sankey have closed their mission in Chicago, it would be well enough, perhaps, to inquire, "What good have they done V No matter bow we may view ,the work of the Great Evangelists, no matter whether We be unbelievers or believers, whether we be of one creed or another, we can make but one answer to this inquiry : Messrs. Moody and Sank ey have done great good in Chicagq; they have, brought joy into hun dreds of households; they have dried the eyes ef many a weeping mother, and comforted many a sorrowing father. They have made many a way ware! sonv and daughter change their course, they have united many that were separati through wickedness, viciousni and sinfulness, and their influence has been feh equally in the brothel and in the palace, from the time they opened the campaign until iis close last evening. These who have heard Mr. Moody's simple pleadings at the Tabernacle can be numbered by tens of thousands. Out of the vast-multitude who beard him there are many on "whom I is words were wasted, buti how ftw there" are in comparison,' with tlie number that have heard the truth and accepted it. It is not for us to say that his doctrines are sound, that his conception of Holy writ is good, or that his manner of preach- ong the Gospel is perfect.

O'Neill gave his daily nass; but I mast speak now, I fee; in each other, and tbe young lips as if Iconld at lost.

Do you really wish to go home V asked Graham, attempting to rise arr lessly, "but pulling his hat a littl over his face. "I mean home to my father." " Snob whims little girls some times take," he answered, atrokinu her hair softly, " Come, it is ts* time, yi "Oral it.

Then they tried to show her that it was wrong, selfish and ungrateful to leave her mother's friends, and go back of her own accord to a in- shadowed life. 1 Tbe Utile tired head drooped against the window, and the eyes grew bewildered in -their search among the shadows. ' " You will have thought better of these silly fancies in the morning, Nettie -dear," Mrs. Lyttleton said at last, kissing her as sbe rose. forward when the consent was giv. en. He put his key in the door, almost unconsciously picturing the little figure that used to open it for him 80 readily, and his steps Black ened involuntarily in the new pas sage. He enteied the sitting-room (so fhanged, he knew, since the " old-aoaidiah" little fingers had been baey there) with his head bent a little,as it generally was now; and sometaisg in tbe very atmos phere of the tsoom. even before his eyes were raised breathed ' >a ohange. His breata quickened a little, as he slat set expected or en before he had time ta think of it that a light step would eome to wards him. But thane eaae|aQnq, and he looked up, Was it really the dU, ekaaged room ? This, with its window open " If not, I shall hare recourse1 io a little wholesome authority, and re fuse yoa permisaios* or power to ? , , leave me t but yon wiU. ohey me 11 the table.

If there ever was a happier daughter than Nettie O'Neill, she was unknown at the time this was Sritten. Her aunt arid cousin raham soon heard of tho miracu lous transposition of things, and tbe latter was not long in finding his way to "tJncle O'NeiU's," as he now called ,him. If he had been Burprised and an unbeliever when Nettie's letter apprised them of the in any permanent good 1" question at issue. -, " If we throw aside all that the Evangelists have done towards spreading flie gospel and stirring up the lukewarm Christianity of the city, if we throw aside the great' work of conversion which they have accomplished, wo will still see irr their mission here one of the grand- est triumphs ever recorded. Moody and Sanky, in a very short time, have raised from the gutters hun dreds of poor besotted drunkards and made men out of them. The grand work of temperance which has been going on for the last few months, hR3 done more good in Chicago than have all the higli- steepled, silk upholstered, and vel vet-carpeted churches of this city in fifty'years. If Moody and Sanky have done nothing else, if they could show no other work accom plished than the reformation 1 of- those drunkards, they would be1 en titled to the heartfelt thanks of hu inanity everywhere.
