With such a true, wise mother, I cannot despair of her reformation; and He who leads us in the day of adversity will not, I know, forsake us in our time of worldly prosperity."

It seems to me that she grows more wilful, ‘more selfish and heartless, every day.

An oldâ€"fashioned quotation, one seldom heard in the bustle and rush of the preserit worldly age, rose to Mrs. Alton‘s lips,â€" \"*‘Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin ; and yet I say unto you, that even _ "L.am sure I should be glad to assist her, Nellie, if it were in my power, but we have already more paintings than I can find room for, and it does cost one so much to dress nowâ€"aâ€"days. Why,only this mornâ€" ing papa was lecturing me on what he was pleased to call my extravagance, because I wanted that lovely bracelet at Belle‘s. Such a beauty! And not another in town like it. I‘m sure I don‘t begin to have as much as other girls with ourmeans ; and what‘s the use of living, I should like to know, if one cannot dress as other people do ?" "Do yon remember the head clerk at Belmont‘s?" began Mrs. Alton, "the one | with the scholarly face and the dreamy, | artist eye? A few years sinco he was a | leading merchant in one of our large cities. Through the treachery of afriend, in whose honor he had confided he became a bankâ€" rupt, and was forced at last to accept the situation he holds at present. Of his five daughters, delicately reared and fashionably educated, only one, the youngest could do anything to nssist herself, or lessen the family burlen, while the mother, comâ€" pletely prostrated by the loss of fortune, became a helpless invalid. But my little heroine bas proved herself equal to the emergency. _ Housekecper, seamstress, ‘ : nurse, ali in one, she has the priceless| faculty of muking the most of their small ‘ ’ income. _A friend of mine, while examinâ€" ing some of her paintings, praised her talent and sugzested that she might dispose of them at good prices. Acting upon this hint she has offered some of the best for sale, but has met with very little encourageâ€" ment, notwithstanding the undisputed merit of her productions. She is anxiouns now _ to _ spend _ the _ winter _ in the city, taking lessons of Grange, who is a master in his department, Lilla‘s ex. l perience as teacher of a small class in j drawing has shown her how superficiul' her education has been, and she wishes to cultivate hertalent, but unless she receives ‘ hlp from some frieud I fear she will not succeed. While Floyd is so embayrassed," , and a shadow flitted across the speaker‘s face, "I cannot conscientiously do much tol assist her from my own purse; but‘ I hope | to interest some friend in her case;" and| Mrs. Alton paused, while her eyes sought her friend‘s face wistfully. Lena, throwing off a momentary feeling of embarassment, answered,â€" "It is the work of one of our townsâ€" women, and it is her story I wish to tell you. Take this easyâ€"chair by the window," and wheeling forward a cushioned seat, Mrs. Alton placed herscif by her friend‘s side, while baby Howard, picking up a letâ€" ter which had fallen from the table, amused himself by pulling it to pieces. A new painting hung upon the wall, and to this Mrs. Alton directed her friend‘s atâ€" tention. It was a simple forest scene. In | the foreground a dead deer lay upon the greensward, with a tired hound resting by his side; overhead a scarlet maple tossed its gorgéous banner on the air ; and a little i beyond a monarch oak, just touched with gold by the fairy frost, reared its legal head; on the right a blue river wound its way among the hills; over all hung the soft, tender haze of an October noonâ€"tide. A simple picture in its way, but 1%&‘ of soloring and exquisite grace of the figures in the foreground, liolding out a promise of better things. \ "It is beautiful," said Lena, with a longâ€" drawn breath of admiration. _ "Who is the artist 2" "Can‘t you come in amoment, Lena, dear ? I Lave something to show you," she called, and runninglightly up the steps Lena soon found herself in the pleasant parlor, endenred to her by so many happy memoâ€" ries of the past. + A few hours later, robed in rich attire, she swept down the street on her way to the jeweller‘s. In the little country town which was her home there was not her equal for beauty of face, or grace of formâ€"a fact of which she was proudly conscious; and the looks of admiration that greeted her trom the passersâ€"by were delicious to her vanit;, which was becoming the controllâ€" ing power of her nature. Passing a lonely residence on & retired street her attention was arrested by a rap on the windowâ€"pane, and the sweet face of Gordon Gray‘s sister, Mrs. Aiton, an oldâ€"tims friend and selhool mate, looked out from its framework of vines. i \ But Gordon Gray, for some reason unâ€" known to herself, and at the very time when he had appeared most devoted and lover likeâ€"how well she zemembered !â€" had gone away and forgoben her, and in the effort to shake off the memories whose tuneful vibrations maddened her. Lena plunged still deeper into the engulfing maelstrom of fashionable life. not been able to withstand the glow of prosperity, and living a helus. aimless life, with no higher ambition than to out shine her gay companions in the gorgeousâ€" ness of her apparrel,or the acquisition of some new baubles, she was growing daily cold, proud and unwomanly. | Once, indeed, in the months drifting: rapidly by, a change had come over her life. The touch of a master hand, the glance of a dark eye, the persuasive accent of a loved voice, had wakened new aims and ambitions in her worldly heart, had given her a faint glimpse of a possible Eden. , DECEMBER 13, 1877. $1 per year in Advance. The coveted bracelet had lost its charms. She was in no mood for trifies. Turning down a side street she walked on and on beneath the wind stirred trees, until the slanting rays of the afternocn sun roused her from her revery. She was on the outskirts of the village, and right before her stood a little house, grey and unpaintâ€" ed, at whose window a young girl sat beâ€" fore hereasel. Mrs Alton‘s description had been so vivid that Lena had no difficulty in recognizing in this young artist the heroine of her friends story. Opportunâ€" ities for doing good had passed her one by one unimproved in the olden days ; here was one, and she would not neglect it ; and in a moment more she was introducâ€" ing herself to the young artist, and all her oldâ€"time pride forgotten, chattering with her like an old friend winning her confiâ€" dence and devising means to assist her without wounding her pride, ‘ There was an irresistible charm .bonfl Lilla Burton‘s manner. She was so thorâ€" oughly in earnest in the pursuit ot her lifeâ€" After the first glow of indignation had subsided Lena was conscious of a faint thrill of joy mingling with the keen pain Gordon Gray‘s words had caused. He had eared for her, then, after all ; it was her own hand that had dashed the eup of joy from her own lips. If she had only been true to herself how much pain she might have been spared ; and the old childâ€"look came back into Lena‘s face, and the tears rose in her eyes as she prayed silently. "God forgive me, and help meito be a better woman !" Pleasant words for a loving sensitive heart to scan ! But in extreme cases harsh remedies are needed, and Nellie Alton vever did a wiser deed than when, unwitâ€" tingly, she placed that slip of torn paper in her friend‘s hand. "I do love her, Nellic, as I never expect to love again‘; but I dare not trust my life‘s happiness in the hands of one so utterly frivolous and selfish, I had almost said heartless, It gives me keen pain to write this, but the truth stands before me, and I must face it and bear it. There has been atime when I thought she might prove different; that the slumbering better nature in her soul would awaken to new life, but the experience of the past year has proved my hopes false. On every hand I hear of her vanity and folly, her selfishness and hardheartedness, Iam going away, and in the new life opening before me I shall try to drive the memory of Lena Lynell from my mind." / same weary, aimless, intolerable life she had endured so long. She had deceived herself in these bright, brief days forever gone by. It was only a friend‘s glance that had mes her, only a friend‘s brave hopeful words, that had given her such hope and courage; and in return she had given all the wealth of a young heart‘s first love. Clasping her hands in sudden agony the slip of paper fell from her trembling fingers. _ As she stooped to regain it her glance fell upon her own name, written in & handwriting she knew but too well; and without stopping to think, she unfolded the praper and read as follows :â€" He was gomng awray! The faint hope which had sustained her these weary months was utterly _quenched.. He had never cared for her, she whispered, bitterly, and there was nothing left for her bit the Meanwhile Lena passed on her way, unconscious that on this perfect day of all the year nature had turned spendthrift, and with reckless hand was flinging her wealth of beauty on wood and plain. The earth was robed in glory, but Lena walking like one in a dream, was conscious only of the old, old heartrache; the keen pain so long battled with rose in its might and threatened to oversome her. "Gordon was right. She is thoroughly selfish and heartless, and not worthy of him. I must give up my pretty dream. Lloyd says that matchinaking is one of my failings." Five minutes later,Lena was on her way down the street. Mrs. Alton, watching her from the window, whispered to herself, while a look of deep interest settled on her faceâ€" "He is well, I hope." "Yes; and thinks of going abroad. His firm greatly desires that be should become the resident partoer in Paris. He had nothing to keep him at home, excepting myself and Lloyd, and we shall try and not be selfish in a matter so greatly to his advantage." A sudden flush crept into Lena‘s face, and in a voice which she strove in vain to make careless and unconcerned, she "By the way, Lena," she said, stooping to pick up the baby to conceal her embarâ€" rassment, "I had aletter from Gordon a short time since." Rescuing a torn bit of paper from baby Howard‘s fingers she wrapped it around the fleeey scarf of wool, and placed it in her friend‘s hand. "Will you have the kindness to match this zephyr for me at Brett‘s? It‘s for Lloyd‘s birthday present, and baby isn‘t feeling well, and I dislike to leaye him this afternoon." Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed tliko one of these. . Wherefore, if God so ‘clothed the grass of the field; which toâ€"day is and toâ€"morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, oh ye offittle faith I‘" "Oh, it you intend adding a ‘scondly‘ to papa‘s sermon, I may as well be going," Inughed Lena, rising to her feet and drawâ€" ing on her gloves. "Can I be of any furâ€" ther service to you, Mrs. Alton ?"

On Wednesday, November 28th, the officers started on their journey, and on Friday night put up at a house about three miles from the still. They gave it out that they were deer hunting, and on the following morning started on their search, which reâ€" sulted in the discovery of a distillery in a thick cedar swamp on lot thirty, first eon. of Limerick, occupied by Archibaid Meâ€" Gregor. Operations had been and were being carried on extensively. All the neâ€" cessary machinery of a superior charaeter was found, the capacity of the still being about two barrels pérday. There was also a quantity of malt on the premises, a large vat full of beer or mash in a state of ferâ€" mentation, and other evidences of a large business being carried on together with a ten gal. keg full of whiskey. Themachinâ€" Iuurett Disrttuuery Se1zk».â€"A very clever seizure of ap illicit distillery in the township of Limerick, about 60 miles north of Belleville, was made on Saturday, 1st inst., by G. C. Holton and Officer N. Dingâ€" What the result of his observations was may be inferred from the tact that Lena Lynell is now and has been tor many years his happy wife. In her sunlit home she hears of the fame her portegee has aequired, of the wealth that has poured in upon her, of the hosts of friends that throng around her, and she thanks the Giver of good, who turned her feet from the path of folly and selfishness and in teaching her to labor for others brought true happiness to her worldy A great revolution had taken place in Gordon Grey heart. Even to himself he would not before acknowledge that the old love stil lingered ; but it needed but the breath of praise from a woman‘s lips to fan the smouldering embers into a brilliant flame. When they parted it was with a firm resolve in his heart to pay his sister a visit, and see for himself if time indeed had wrought such wonderous changes. "It is a real portrait," answered Lilla, regarding him with . surprise. . "Do you know her ? It is the face of Lena Lynell, my dearest friend, and the noblest woman I ever knew. Bhe spoke with enthusinem, and while her visitor listened in astonishment and admiration the whole story came out. "Heavens! what a likeness he exclaimâ€" ed . _ "Only, if possible, even more beautiâ€" ful. Tell me Lill he cried in agitation, "is this only a fancy piece or is it a real portrait 2" As she put the last touch to the picture and leaned back with a sigh ofsatisfaction, Gordon Gray, who had been absent from the city entered. In her absorption Lilla did not perceive him till he spoke. ’ The Christmis time was drawing nigh and Lilla‘s heart overflowing with its debt of gratitude, determined, to make suitable acknowledgnrent to her kind benefactress. Hour by hour she labored patiently, when the Christmas week dawned the work was completed, and it was a portrait of Lena Lynell dressed in dark velvet costurge, and holding in her ,hand some crocusses. It had been sketched from memory, for Lilla had once seon her thus, but the tender, truthful look was of a loftier character than had been seen in the Lena of old ; though it was no exaggeoration now.. A lov» ing heart had dictated, and a loving hand had executed, the portrait, and rarely had a more benutiful face beaned from a canâ€" vas. ‘ Gordon Gray did not go abroad. The ties which bound hbim to his native land were too strong to be broken ; and so it came that frequenting art galleries and studies he became familiar with a fair young face which attracted him by the earnestness imprinted on every feature. It grew to be one of his pleasures to stand by Lills Burton‘s side and watch her at her beautiful work, giving freely a friend‘s kindly criticism. As for Lena, once having tasted the saweets of doing good, she had no mind; to go back to the old selfish life. On the right hind and on the left she found those who needed her help, her sympathy and advice, and becoming interested in her work the old pain and heartache lost some of its strength. A complete change had passed over her nature, and her parents rejoiced in the result, without imquiring too closely into the eause which produced it. "For the first time in years she had exâ€" perienced the joy of making another hapâ€" py, and the good work as begun she had no intention of leaving unfinished. Beâ€" fore she retired for the night she had writâ€" ten a long letter to an aunt in the city, whose kind interest she determined to awaken in behalf of her protegee. A reply soon came. Aunt Ruth would be glad of a companion, and: do all in her power to assist the young artist ; | and so it came about that when the first snows fell Lilla Burton became an inmate of Mrs. Cran‘s house, and began to apply herself with untiring assiduity toher loved work so wrapped up in the interests of the dear one for whose sake she labored, that Lena became the happy possesor of one of her finest paintings.
