Rachel Masterton sat alone in the little sitting-room which formed part: of the suite 0’? rooms she rented in a.- house on the Surrey side of London.â€" More thoroughly alone than she was, it; would be impossible to conceive any one. to be. She was young, and had money at her command ; but she had but few friends. Her mother had died when. she was an infant, and her father had fallen into evil courses, and the mis- ‘ ‘fortunes which fol-law them; and his l-only child 'had been brought up and educated by her maternal grandmother, a who held her father in contempt, and never spoke of him without dislike. But Rachel loved him ; he had been kind and indulgent to her; and she secretly resolved that, if ever it was in her power, % she would make a home for him. r The time had come at last ; her grand-- a mother was dead, she was mistress of a ' little fortune, and had kept to her reso- lution,â€"only to find a terrible trial: 8 most wretched of all hhman creatures- a monomaniac. This mania took a l terrible form for poor Rachel ; he 1 imagined that she stood between him 5 and some .pmperty, which, but for her, he should inherit, and it became evident i at last that her life was not safe with ‘ . him. it was with great sorrow she ' T heard the verdict of the most celebrated ‘ lphysieians, and consented to her father .2 being placed under the care of a doctor, l of repute, sacrificing nearly the whole i of her income to secure his comfort.â€" The parting was over now, and she sat- down in her pretty parlor to think. She: l was not a tearful woman, --sorrow with her found no vent in passionate weep- ing; her cheek might pale and her eyej dim, but tears seldom found their way beyond her eyelids. She was not a pretty woman, though there was intellect in lhcr broad masculine-looking forehead, land mind in her clear grey eyes. She had a good complexion, and a healthy color generally, though she was pale now ; her hands were well shaped, though somewhat large; but then she was not of the fairy order of women, being rather taller than the average, and stout in preportion. She was essentially a finel woman, and rather liked to think » of herself as such. She was dressed in black,â€"she always wore it now,â€"-in memory of one to whom she had given her heart, and would have given her hand, had not death stepped in between them ; and she looked almost handsome I a 5 i What do we live for ? c as she sat leaning her cheek upon her‘ ham! in her 1011er room.

Sh‘e reserved her tears for night and darkness; daylight. saw her only a calm, quiet woman, who seemed as i_thongh emotion‘never eame near hex-.4â€" Yet, under all this, she had a warm, b passionate, loving nature; a heart that I would have expanded itself on anything or any body that Would have warmed to her, and which felt Cramped and chilled V by the dreariness of her present position. “I shall go mad here,” she said to her- self, as she rang the bell for her frugal ‘ tea. “1 must have excitement, or I ‘ shall die of this dreary round of dulness ' No one but that woman to speak to, morning, noon, “and night,â€"it"s a horrible 1 life l” It was, for a young, energetic, active woman like Rachel Masterton. Many girls in her position would have made employment or enjoyment for them» selves; but she was not one of these. -‘ From all the common ways which wo- men have of spending their time, she shrank with disgust; she was by no means a model heroine for a story. She. hated needlework, and did not sc1uple: i to say so, to the horror of her acquaint. iances, she Was not up in feminine small talk, and could not interest herself in millinery, she adored books, poetry in particular, and had a sort of reverence for all authors, as bright particular stars, whom she might envy and admire at a distance, but into whose 'o'rbit she might never enter. But none of these sentio t meats would get her a living", and earn money somehow she mtlst. Suddenly a - thought flashed into her mind like an inspiration, and starting up, she ex- ; claimed aloud': “I know I can, and I t'villi Yes, 1 “La ! Miss M asterton', how you frightened me,” said the landlady, enter- ?ng at the moment with the tray. “Was you a-playoactmg all to yourself?” [’11 go on the stage “Something like it, I fancy,” said Rachel, with a. little laugh. “But.

She wouldut come up t-ill 1’ d brought up the tray, and seen if you was disengaged ” “Disengaged-! of course i am. Send her up, dear old thing. It seems as if she was scutjust now ‘in answer to what. was in my heart” Mrs. Daring was an actress, with? whom Rachel had ‘accidently become. acquainted. She was getting an old woman; but'was still a great favorite: with the public, not only for her talent, but on account of her private worth.â€" i No breath of slander had chr passed over her fair fame, no rude tongue had. ever spoken lightly of her, popular; Ractress though she was, and had been all her life. She had lived happily with. a. husband who, report said, was good§ ind true to her, and broughtnp a family of children with motherly care, notwith-z standing the arduous profession she fol-j1 lowed. She was alone now ,â€"many; years a widow. Of her children, someé were dead, some married -; and night: after night she worked away with the same bright smile and untiring energy; that had characterized her younger days. Every one liked and respected her; and she knew it, and paid her friends for it in the way they liked best,â€"by look- ing very handsome, and acting, as they were fond of saying, only as Mrs. .Daring could do. Off the stage, she was just a simple-hearted, pleasant, ' goodstempered little woman, always _ ready to do a good turn for any one, ziand doing a special one for Rachel Masterton this evening, by suddenly _. breaking in upon her loneliness. “Well, child,” she said, bustling in. “Here I am; ain’t. you giad to see me ‘3” “Oh, so glad 2” Rachel replied, warm- ly. ‘ I was just feeling so wretched. I don't wonder at. peeple cutting their throats, and all that sort of thing.” “Ughi you read too many romances,” said the little entrees, bustling about among the tea-cups. “N ow, I’ve had lots of trouble in my time, horrible to look back upon, and still worse to bear, and I never felt e. bit like cutting my throat. Have a'cup of tea, and don’t talk nonsense.” “Everything’s so gloomy n'ow,” Rachel remarked after a pause, during which they were duly occupied with their tea. “I sha‘l die of it if I don’t get out of it somehow. Do you know I’ve got my living to get now, Daring, dear ?” MAINTlEN LE BRO-IT. m OF GREY, ONTARIO, MARCH 24, 1870. 336, that. for a moment. she could not. ‘qmak, and Rachel Went on. _ ‘ 3 ‘" y, the stagc,-â€"don’t. look frightenC 3ed at me; I mean it.

Mrs. Daring looked at. her in amazement. Her eyes seemed to dilute and glow as she read, and her lithe young figure ‘bent and swayed under the in.

Ob, Daring, dear, you’re a good little soul !” “If you don’t succeed, don’t blame me,” {be ’little lady said to her sanguine new pupil. “It isn’t all spangles and smiles behind the scenes, I can assure you"; it’s :hard work and bitter disap- pointment very often, as you’ll find by and by.” â€" “-I’ll rial: it, ’3 Was all Miss \Issterton’s l reply, and M18.

And she did risk it, entering on :1 course of prepai atory study with her. friend, practising wherever Mrs. Daring‘s interest could get her a chance, and pre. paring a wardrobe which Would enable; her, if she succeeded, to take a situation i in a respectable theatre. She did suc- coed; Rachel Mastcrton was not a. ivo-T man to fail in anything she undertook, and before many months, she made her first appearance at a good theatre in2 London, as the Duchess, in Tobin’s icomedy of ‘The Honeymoon.’ Her suc- cess was sufficient to insure her future well doing, and in a few weeks she had procured an engagement t‘vhi‘éh would at least enable her to live in comfort.â€" But our story has nothin‘g‘ to ‘do With her as an actress,â€"-only to give three eventful chapters in her life; and with her appearance on the stage, she turned the last leaf of the first, and left youth, and love, and happy thoughtlessness be. hind her for ever. This is a habit contracted by many1 young persons, and one which they seem loth to part with, as many grow to manâ€" ‘ hood and womanhood who still adhere to the vulgar habit. Who among us wOuld think of nibbling at a bunch of human hair during our leisure moments ? None, we' opine,as a single hair found in our victuals at meal times is revolting. Yet those who practice the human crib- biting, (to coin an expression,) take ; within the precincts of their masticators lncarly or quite the same chemical pro- lpcrties. “’9 like to see finger nails well clean- ed and neatly cut, not too closely. But when we see them bitten off so close as to almost canse the How of blood, it gives us a chill of horror. If you have children who are inclined l to use their teeth for shortening 'and cleaning their finger nails, teach them the error of their ways, and purchase a nice little knife for their use. It will 1 not fail to be money well expended:â€"3 Were wedispoecd, we could give well authenticated accounts 'of children dying, as it was supposed, without just cause, but eventually traced to the biting off and swallowing bits of their finger nails, the sharp points of which adhered to the coats of the stomach, causing ulcerao tien and consequent death. . *‘ -â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"-H4.9-oâ€"‘â€"â€"â€"â€" Biting the Finger Nails.

The hour was late, and the minister’s wife, who had retired for the night, did not rise to witness the ceremony, but gave her husband particular directions for the entertainment “of the wedding guests. “Don’ t forget to pass the cake and wine, Doctor.” she said. "The cake IS in the Corner of the bfip’o'o'ard, and you u’ll find the “me oh the right hand shelf 1!] the Side-board.” The Doctor promised obedience, and putting on his garments, went down to perform the ceremony.

He learned, however, by careful obser- vation, that this was really so; for he noticed that the pupil of every cat he saw, though wide Open in the early morning, would gradually contract as the sun rose 3; at noon 'a perpendicular line of extreme delicacy would be all that was left to be seen, and then the pupil would dilate again, to return to its natural size by sunset.

Set ap‘a'rt for a noble Work from his birth, and gifted with power to perform that work, he might have been the Deliverer of his people and made ifor himself a history grand indeed. But What were the facts? Relying on his own wonderful strength he dallied with sin. He made a jcst of life. He set himself about nothing protonnc’ 1y earnest, and worthy his attention. Voluntarily he put himself in his enemies’ hands, confident that he coulti escape at will. In gratification of his lusts he entered Gaza, the strongholu oi" the Philistines, and went out only by taking the gates with him. Later, still following out his lustful pleasures, he tarried with Delilah, and amused him- self by permitting attempts upon his liberty. He could resist the men of Philis’tifi; but a woman’s blandishmente IcomTpa’Ssed his ruin. An eyerweening faith in his own might was the. mischief underlying all. Though he broke the green withes, and the new rape, and es. caped with the web woven in his hair, he fell at last, weakly, miserably. His life and his death have their counter parts everywhere. There. {are men with possihiiitie‘s hardly less than were Samson’s,â€"with powers unlike his, yet eqnai to them,-â€"whose lives are not less a. miserable failure than him-e;- vGifted, they use their gifts to no pur- pose 'fii‘fii‘seworthy; strong in their own I consoiofii‘sness, their strength serves them for 3'. time, but proves the veriest weaki ness in some unexpected moment, and the}; go ‘dotvn before the enemy '0?

That we should not put ourselves in the way of temptation; fondly believing that we can withstand it and come off unscathed. That we cannot reeline‘ .n the lap of any Delilah ior sin, however gentle ate nature, {bids a , certainty we shall not be shore of our pride and glory. That gifts misapplied and perverted will bring us only bitter- est reward; and that without an earn: est aim our life will darken into woe most fearful. . Shall We make the lesson. ours, and profit by it ? I feel all that I know and all that l teach Will do nothing for my soul if I :s’p‘e’s'd my time as some people do, in buSineSS “or 'co'nip‘any. My soul starves to death in the best company, and God is often lost in prayers and ordinances. “ Enter into thy “Closet, ” said He, “and shut thy door.” Some words 10 Scrip- ture are very emphatical. “ Shut thy door” means much; it means shut out; not only nonsense, but business; not only the company abroad but the com: pany at home; it means, let thy poo'r soul have a little rest and refreshment, and God have Opportunity to Speak to thee in a still small voice, or He will speak to thee in thunder. â€"-C' c'czl. ’ The Bible will not be less, but rather more, prized by our occasionally turn' ing from it to Open another and equallyr divine volume, to read some pages of the Book of Nature.
