JES Long and passionately Mn. Howard wept over her brother, for his return brought back the past, and all that she had suffered since the night he went away. Aunt Debby too, was much affected, but did not omit her accustomed " He anus was a good boy." q . 1 'l‘hrrn hrs. Bellcnger approached, and offering her hand, said to him very kindly : “ You Vote deal: to me for Ellen’s sak c,aml though I never saw you until to-dny, my heart claims you for a child. Shall I be your mother, Mr. Marshall ?" He could only rnply by pressing the hand she extended, for his heart was all too full for utterance. " Let me go away alone,” he said at last. “ to weep out my great joy," and npcning the door of what was once his room, he pass- ed for a time from their midst. The surprise had apparently disturbed the deacon’s reason. for even after his son had left. him he continued talking just the same : “ Poor Sonyâ€"poor child, to think your hair should be so gray, nnd you but a little boy." Then, whcnSeth letnmed to them he made him sit down beside him, and holding both his hands, smiled up into his face a smile far more painful than tears would haVe been. i n: a .....

Gradually, however, his mind became clearer, and he was able to understand all that Seth was telling than of hi: experience Since the night he went away. “ Pro Bono Publloo." At hunt. just as the sun was setting, Mr. Marshall arose, and without a word, passed into the open air. No one watched him to see whither he went, for all knew that be. fore he returned to them he would go down the lane. along tho baton nth, to where the moonlight fell upon a litt yo.

MW NW LAID BY. ~A'M’V It was long before he came back, and when he did, and entered the large kitchen, two figures stood by the western window, and he thought the arm of the taller was thrown about the waist of the charter, while the face of the shorter was very neat‘ to that of the teller. Advancing toward them and stroking the dark curls, he said, hill playfully, half earnestly : "' I believe that as Mr. Marshall I have not greeted J essie yet, so 1 will do it now. Are you to be my daughter, little girl 2” “Yes, she is," answered Walter, while J esaie broke (way from them, and was not visible again tint night. But when, at 1 late hour, Mrs. Bellenger left. the happy group still assembled around the cheerful fire. and sought her room, from the depths of the snowy pillows, whero Jes- sie lay nestled, there came a smothered voice, saying, holf timidly : “This is the nicest Thanksgiving I ever had, and I shall remember it forever.” CHAPTER XVII. CONCLUSION. Four years have passed sway since that Thanksgiving dinner, and for the demon, who, then. did not expect. (.0869 another, there seem to be many yet in store. Hale, hearty and happy, he sits in the armchair. smoking his accustomed pipe ; and when the villagers, who come often to see him, tell hnn how the old farm-house is improved, and how they should scarcely know it. he always answers : “ Yes, Seth has good taste, and Seth is rich. He could buy Deerwood, if he tned. He built those new houses for the poor down there by the river ; he built the factory, too. and gives them all employment. Seth is a blessed boy." Others, too, there were besides the deacon, who called Seth Marshall h1essed,snd never since his return has a. voice been raised against him. After becoming somewhat secustorned to his new position as a free sud respected man, his first wish wss to modernize the farm-house s little more according to his ideas of taste and comfort. Once he thought to build a splendid mansion near by, but to this suggestion the father said : “ No ; I like the old place best. The new house might be handsomer, but it would not be the one where you and 1, mid all of us were born, and your mother died. Wait till l'm dead, and then do as you please.” And do Seth is waiting. and as he waits he sets out trees and shrubbery,and benutifies a plot of around, on which he will sometime erect. a. dWelling as a summer residence for his son, who lives in the city. and calls Mn. Bartow grandma. When the first Christmas snows were fall- ing after his father's return, Walter made Jessie his bride. and there now plays at his fireside a chubby. black-eyed boy, whom they call Graham Marshall, and who spends more time in Deere/nod than he does in New York. Quito as old as the hoary man in the corner, who sometimes calls him Walter, but oitcner Seth, he “ rides to Boston " on the deacon’s knee, pulls the deacon’s beard, wears the dcacon's glasses, smokes a stick of candy, and spits in invitation of the ‘ deacon, and then falls away to sleep in the deacon's laprâ€"the two forming a most bean- tiiul picture of old age and infancy together. At Mr. Graham’s house. there is a beauti- ful sixâ€"months’ baby, whose hair looks gold- en in the sunlight, and whose eyes of blue are much like those of Ellen llowland. They call her Nellie, and in all the world there is nothing oneâ€"half so precious as this child to the broken, melancholy man, who often comes to see her, and when no one can hear him, whispers sadly : ' " Swaet Nellie â€"â€"dsrling Nellie,-â€"-little snowdrop l" But whether he means the in. tent in the crib, or the Nellie dead long ago, is difficult to tell. For eighteen months he toiled inside the prison walls, and then the poworl’ul influ- ence of Mr. Graham, Seth Marshall and Walter combiner], procured him a pardon. An humbled and a better man, he would not leave the city. He Would rather remain. ‘ he said, and live down his disgrace, than have it follow him as it was sure to do. So he stayed, accepting thankfully a situation which Walter procured for him, and Mrs. Bellenger. when she now that he was really changed, gledlv gave him a home with her- self, {or she was lonely now_that Welter WI! one. 01 Mn. Reeves was very much utonisha ed that the Graham: and Marshall: should make so much at one who hud been in State prison, and mid : .

It cannot be that earth is man’s only abid- ing place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a} moment upon its waves and sink into nothingness. Else why is it the high and glorious aspirations. which lesp like angels from the temple of our hearts, ere foreVer wandering about unsatisfied 2 Why is it that the rainbow and the clouds come over us with a beauty that is not of earth. and then pass off and leave us to nurse upon the faded loveliness 2 Why is it that the stars “ hold their festival around the midnight throne." And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flew back in Alpine torrent from our heart 2 We are born for a higher destiny than that of cnrth. There is a re elm where the rainbow never fadesâ€"where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which here pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.
