In summer passersâ€"by admired the velvety moss that gathered thickly on her old thateh ; but few would have cared to spend a winter night under that roof, One or two strolling artists had sketched the cottage in summer, when its venerable thatch was gorgous with groen and gold, and the crazy wlllp were almost hidden under a wild honeysuckle that had overrun the entire front, making a charming picture when the sn shone kindly upon it, and leaves audâ€"flowers concealedits unsightâ€" ly decay. . . . .. k Just at the corner of the lane that led to Hope Cottage there stood another little house ; one of those thatched, oneâ€"storied hovels that are sometimes left standing beâ€" cause they are in nobody‘s way, and are often suffered to remain until they fall to pieces. wil ciuiha Margaret had sat listening to her two daughters with a quiet smile of amuseâ€" ment. â€" Theso teaâ€"table skirmishes served, as Olive said, to keep their wits from rastin@.

Maybe, ho{ remarked hopefully, the Lord had need4 of gardeners up in herven. Poor Harry paid dearly for that night‘s revelry. All through August and Septemâ€" ber he was confined to his bed ; and in Octâ€" ober he was to be seen, moviag feebly on crutehes, and crippled by rheumatism. Dr Arran could give very iittle hope of a final curd ; even if the eramped limbs shou‘d ever regain something of their old freedony} Harry‘s constitution was irreparably injurâ€" ed; he could never be the same man again. Mrs. Stowell was a laundress; but the eldest of her four little girls was barely old enough to help her, and she toiled on alâ€" most singleâ€"handed. The Westyns took note of her uncomplaining industry, iand liked her for the love and care she showed for all her children. ; Meanwhile the young ni'aq lay sleeping on the wet ground, drenched to the skin. Morning came, and Mrs. Stowell, going out into her garden, caught sight of the misereble figure, lying under the dripping blossoms. â€" Some women would have raged and seolded ; but the. widow was not one of these. She gently roused her son, and entreated him kindly to ¢ome into the house. _ The widow could not rest in her bed while her son was absent ; again and again she opened her little window, and‘ looked and listened ;â€"but‘ #66 meithor saw nor heard him. Jus%at the time when Harry had groped his way into the gardenshe had begen bendingiovér the pillow of her youngâ€" est child, who was beginning to recover from a serious illness. And when the moon was darkened, and after the rumbling of distant tlmndcf,'a'henvy rain began to fall she tried to quiet herself with thinking that Harry had sought shelter with the lodée- 1 keeper.. .0 _ : But all Harry‘s attempts to find his mother‘s door were quite in vain ; it cerâ€" tain‘ly did not seem to be standing in its usual place that night, and yet it ought to have been distinetly visible in the hroad moonlight. â€" He made his way to the withâ€" ered appleâ€"tree, and finally sank down hapelessly under the foilage of the everlastâ€" ing pea, there to lie in heavy, ‘dreamless slumber. It took place on a sultry August night, and the fun was fast and furions. It was past midnight when the revellers separated Two comrades, not over sober themselves, agreed to lead Harry to his cottage gate, and there they left him. | _ After the first of these banquets, Harry | came hoine lateâ€"at night, flushed and noisy | and confused with liquor. He frightened | the children out of their slumbers, and made such an uproar in that quiet cottage s had never been heard there before. Next morning he was feverish and and sullen, and not so penitent as his mother thought he ought to have been, HMe had not spent any of his wages at a tavern, he said, in reply to her gentle reproaches. The drink had been provided at his master‘s expense, and there had been no stint. Well, Harry,‘ said the. widow mildly, you ought to ha‘ known when to stop,." But that was precisely the point which proved Harry‘s weakness. The second of theso feasts left him in a worse condition than the first. | _ Augustus Lawford was fond of lavishing gold on his sorvants. He liked to bring ! his workpeople and retainers together, and { feast them to their heart‘s content ; it pleasâ€" f ed him to join in these festivities, and hear I himself called q good fellow and one of the right sort. It did not oecur to him that it would have been wiser to haye given his men a joint of meat apiece, and let their wives and children have the benefit of the good cheer at home. He wanted to see them eat, drink, and be merry ; but someâ€" times the merriment led to very woofdl reâ€" sults. i But although Jamess Lawford‘s successâ€" ors gave Harry more work than ever, and put more money into his pockets than he had earned in the old master‘s days, their cothing wus no blessing to him and his household. Harry was a lad of eighteen ; & brisk, hardâ€"working fellow, and the eldest of five children, Ever sizes his father‘s death he had been the helper and protector of his Harry Stowell‘s especial pride and deâ€" light.

People exchanged glancâ€" es in the aisles, and lingered outside the doors to discuss the new curate. They were fairly roused now, and that first sermen was talkod over in many a family circ‘e that The Westyns did not stay to gossip outâ€" side the church.. They went outside into the autumn darkness, ahd walked for some time in silence. ""Well," said Edon, with a ring of triâ€" umph in her voice, "is that a sermon fit for Dangers were fally pointed out, fallacies were exposed, donubts were honestly met. and he: showed," clearly . and reverently, how close the divine life lies to the buman, and KHow the beating of Christ‘s heart may still be heard among the ‘hearts of those He died to save. It was by no means a highly intelleotual sermon, but it was fuil:of the wisdom that can be used in daily life. There he stood, speaking with the digniâ€" ty and gravity of one having authority. There was ‘a manilness in this preacher that awoks the attention of his male hear: ers at once. Heids were raised that were wont to droop at sermon time, and eyes, too otten closed, were fixed upon the speakâ€" er. Like the good old country parson, he ""used earnestness of speech ; it being natâ€" ural to men to think that where there is much earnestness ther0ig something worth hearing." It was Lard to realize that those full mellow tones belonged to one who had not sen thirty years ; but Mr. Vale left every trace of boyishness behind when he enterâ€" ed the: church. ; DeR CAE DEgP 0p0 096B 93204 oi She was almost startled that evoning, by the sound of a new vaige from the. palpit, It was a deep rich voice that made its way into every corner ot the church, and seemâ€" ed as though itought to have come from the lips of an older man. Mrs, Westyn had almost forgotten the new preacher. She was so accustomed to put her whole soul into, the familiar prayâ€" ers, that, if the truth must be told, the serâ€" vice had generally ended with here ere the sermon began. ; + o upy, pl... | _ But it is not every mother who loses her | old self to find a new self in her children, 1 There are some who enter old age still hamperedwith the vanities of their girlhood and Margaret wondered sometimes at who could still feel any pleasure in tricking theuselves out in expensive finery when they had daughters to be adorned. She was amazed to see women past middle age conâ€" tinually changing their bonnets and reâ€" trimming their gowns, while their girls‘. garments were of the plainest deseription. If Margaret still took an interest in her own appearance, it was chiefly for ner children‘s sake. â€" .. 1t was seldom that she askod arything of God for herself in these days ; bad she not lived her life? ‘The Lord had given, and the Lord had taken away ; and she could bless His name for the gifts and loss. as. Dut self had long ago taken a new form and had passed into love. Margaret went to her place in the eorner of the pew, knelt down, and straightway lost her visions in a prayer for her childâ€" ron. But here was tho babyâ€"a stately young woman nowâ€"walking behind her up the aisle, followed by her sisters and her brother. Then came the London Sundays, when she went with ker husband to a westâ€"end church, where all her fellowâ€"worshippers were strangers. And then certain Sundays spent at home beside the eradle of her firstâ€" born, when her heart was full of the strange, new joy of motherhood, and God‘s world was all the dearer becauee her eluld had come to live in it + She saw hersclf a slim young maiden like Edna; tripping shyly by Richardalopg that very street. That was when they were on the eve of marriage, ard she had come back to Campwick to the only relaâ€" tions she possessed, that the quiet wedding might take place in the church wherein she had been baptized. Those relatives were dead and gone, and there were yory few of the townsfolk who had any recollecâ€" tion of the Margaret of long ago. ‘ The sight of all the groups around her recalled the days when she and Richard had gone to church side by side. She was not thinkingâ€"just then, but only looking at the pictuie which memory had set before her. ©" 400 0e ' All the bells were ringing at once, and the cathedral chime was leading, like the ’ voice of an abbess among the nuns. Bhopâ€" men and shopwomen thronged the cmiseâ€" ways; railway and merchantile clerks esâ€" corted their sweethearts to church. And even when her grief had been very fresh and new, Margaret remembered how she had felt unconsciously cheered and gladâ€" dened by the sight: of the multitade that kept holyday. *‘ The autumn evening was dark and quiet when Margaret and her daughters took their way to St. Cyprian‘s Church. ‘That way led them through all the most freâ€" quented streets of the old city, and gave them such glimpses of its life as they only had on Sunday nights.. than I‘d be singing the peaims up there from mornis® till night, The music ain‘t so much in my line, you §eo. 1t seems to me Abat I‘d like the idea of heaven a great deal more if I may think about going , on with nty old work, which comes naturalâ€" Ofi on 2o Ce Bcicreurnt CHAPTER XI.â€"A NEW VoICE. i t h e S TeRrnes J At the request of the President, Mr. | Treadgold opened the meeting with prayer | after which the ordinary routine business was gone through. In formally opening tho proceedjugs the President made some ‘ very uppro;;riute remarks. He cxpressed his pleasure in,secing so many teachers present evidently in the enjoyment of health and strength of both mind and body. Whilst he was glad to see amongst those present several new faces he was sorry to miss the countenanee and help of those who had left the scene of their labors here below since the last meeting of our Associaâ€" tion. He made special and touching rcâ€" ference to Mr. Cushnie late of Mount Forest and Mr. Deacon, late of Glenelg. He exâ€" ‘ pressed regret that neither Mr. Ross, M. 3 P. P., nor Professor Lewis, of Toronto, i could at this time give their valuable counâ€" tenance and help to the Association as he had hoped. He then explained the steps that had been taken in connection with establishing and arranging the Association‘s Professional Library. In doing so Mr. Ferguson awarded praise to two members of the Asgociation for material aid given by thein, but the two gentlemen named by the President. So soon as they had the opporâ€" tunity disclaimed all credit in the matter explaining that as Mr, Ferguson had all the tronble and did. all the work in conâ€" nection with the organization of the Library to him alone belonged all the eredit of its successful establishment. The Library at present numbers 129 ‘Volumes, costing $150, and are all covered, numbered and: weighed ready for distribution by mail or otherwise. In concluding Mr. Ferguson thanked the teachers for their kindness and courtesy to him during is office and gave lomqoniub‘.l: ud.::o: able hints to the members of the Associaâ€" tion as to the spiris and manner ip which they should enpdeavor to carry on their busi: Priceville, Friday, 29th May, 1879. Association met according to resvlution of former meeting in Priceville Public Sehool, the President, Wm. Ferguson, Esq., I. P. 8. S., in the Chair. Proceedings of the Fourth Semiâ€"Annual Sessionâ€"of S.. Grey Teachers‘ Association. It was said of him that he could say stern things in the pulpit, but never out of it. There was a ready frankness and sweetness in his manner which few could resist; his sympathies were quick,and he had the rare gift of finding fitting words for every kindâ€" ly thought. And Iis was a pature which seemed to be pleasantly and entirely open. Yet there was one subject on which was exceedingly reservedâ€"strangely served, as Mrg. Aspen said to herself. [ro sz contixuep.] The good couple attached themselves strongly to the young man who had come to share their home. Their quiet house was all the brighter for his presence in it, and there was, in truth, much in the new curate that was very lovable. & "No," he answered. "I believe that Vale is endowed with all the gifts necesâ€" sary to sustain his reputation. And he has, I am sure, a hearty desire to serve God," There was not a particle of jealousy in Mr, Aspen‘s nature. So, while Campwick was loud in its praise of Clement Vale, Mr. Aspen pursued the even tenour of his way.
