A SKETCH (IK THE REVIVAL. 



Loud and clear rang the village belL Up through 

 the evening air Hunted peal after peal, and the 

 snow clad hills soul baolc a shrill echo to the vale 

 beneath. The little church was filled to overflow- 

 log. FaoU wore there on wbioh el! the heart's 

 anxiety might easily be read, and others just as 



many were the bright eyes dimmed with tears, and 

 bands ceuvnlnlvHy clasped together, as the elo- 

 quent lips of the speaker poured forth consolation 

 for the bleeding heart, nmi woke the deep voice ol 

 repentance in the bosom of pride. 



" Now Is the accepted time, row is the day of sal- 

 vatlon." 



The words floated down the aisles and oat npon 

 the clear, frost; air, while many a proud young 

 head bent lower and lower, and Mars dropped 

 from dim and aged eyes. 



Then there was a long silence, followed by the 

 Bound of many passing forward to the little altar. 

 Side by ildo they knelt. Men and women with the 

 r-nowa of many winters on their heads, and knees 

 that nntil now had never bent Id prayer. Fi 



maidens, manly youths, and tender children, 



seeking for the selfsame blessings,— nil boning be- 

 fore the one great Father. 



Near the right of the pulpit tiro brothers 

 standing. The broad, intellectual brow of the 

 und firm, expressive features of the other, gave 

 ample evidence that should they chooae to heed 

 the call, they would make no common laborers in 

 the vineyard. Bat the Spirit had spoken once, yea, 

 twice, and still they resisted the pleading. And 

 now they were gazing curiously to mark what 

 friend* should be among the worshipers who pass- 

 ed them. Footatepa light with the tread of hope, 

 and others heavy with their weight of despair, all 

 aounded along the aisles. 



A young girl rose from a seat near the brothers 

 slowly forward.— 



and with 



Hah* pausing as she reached them, they caught 

 glimpse of dark, e±rne.i eye* whose long lashes 

 were beaded with tears, turned imploringly 

 tbem. and then the m»lden pa«cd onward and 

 knelt for the blessing. 



"Afflflltl UCTl" whispered the younger 

 brother, turning to the pale face beside bli 



'• I see, - ' was the only answer, as they threaded their 

 way out into the open air, just as the man of God 

 commenced his earnest appeal for the pi 

 •oula who had come to the foot of the crow. 



Hssar Elton, the elder, aWppsd qnlokly, lifting 

 bis hand now snd then with a mysteiions, impa- 

 tient movement to his brow, as if to brush away 

 some unplesssnt conviction thst hsd settled there. 

 Bat it was very evident that he did not succeed— 

 for, as his brother spoke his name for the third 

 time, he turned, toward him a face full of perplex- 

 ed meaning, aod asswered, -Well, what Is It, 



"I was going to say," replied the other, "that

 knelt at the bedside. 



-Give me strength," abe prayed, "strength and 

 wisdom, 0. my God " 



The earthly lore was wrestling strongly with the 



.lee of duty within ber heart ■ 0. 1 cannot give 



m up," was the thought that burst sobblogly from 



A clear hurst of song came floating up from a 

 ilghbortog cottage, sod its burden was the fa

 tbem the struggle was psst, Wltb a sad, awect 



lie boveriog around ber lipx, she descended to 



i little parlor, snd sdvanced to meet her lover. 



'Annetts," he said quickly. ' I do not come to 



claim your promise for tonight I know that U 



mpoaalble after what has p&tsed, but I must ateo 



know whether this is to make any difference be- 



reen us— any difference In jour love for me." 



The girl's voice was very low and tremulous as 

 she replied, "No, Hhnky, my love la not changed, 

 be, bat obi our relations to eacb 

 changer*, odese," she added, plead- 

 ingly, " unless you will torn snd go with me. 0, 

 a. Witl you not 

 try, first for my sake, if it must be, and then for the 

 love of J sans, to walk in this patbT" 



"I oannot feign au interest in religion that I do 

 not feel," Hbnky Elton answered moodily, "la 

 this all I am to hope, Annitte, for all the love I 

 have wasted? Think of it, don't answer me now, 

 I will come again." 



The door t Wed and be was gone, walking with 

 quick, nervous ateps out loto the opin country.— 

 Away from the lighted church, away from the 

 streets and cottages, away from the haunts of men, 

 out Into the clear, frosty night he bad gone to find 

 tho solution of a great rny-itery; for Hbnry Elton 

 had an intercut in religion that be was unwilling to 

 own. Deep in his aonl he felt that Annette had

 iKflrsiKE did. By sad by, you will appreciate

should always like to he. only ■ ten years old." 



The day came, as bright aid beautiful as ever 



thesanahone upon, a previous ahower bad given 



a brighter shade to Nature's carpeting, and every 



leaf, every flower, fslrly glittered with the spark- 



,: Tg rain dropo, while tbe birds Bang so merrily— 



I because it was my birthday; so Aunt Dbhby 



id. Alt tbe little girls in the neighborhood bad 



en Invited to spend tbe afternoon with me, and 



i were to have ted out in the garden, under the 



bor, and I was to be anajed in my new white 



jik, which my mother bad made on purpose for 



e occasion. We were talking over onr arrange- 



enU, when we beard tbe tinkling of a guitar, ac- 



>mpauied by a tamtonrice, and n sweet childish 



ilce, singing under the wiudow: 



■• Yon an gofjBf tu swiv, far away. 





But Utile did the young p-irl dream, as she turn- 

 ed her footatepa towards the church door that 

 evening, aa the ball rang out its accustomed call, 

 that her proud lover wa* koeellng In tbe forest on 

 the crusted enow, praying for pardon and peace, 

 Her face was sad, very Bad; for the earthly hope 

 she strove to crush bad been her first dream of hap- 

 piness, and tbe path ahe waa treading was yet new 

 to her feet— the oocsolatlon not yet full. But so 

 many sweet promises and blessed hopes were given 

 her that night, that she trod tho aisles with a heart 

 full of rest and peace, and whispered, "all for 

 Jews," as ebe knelt again at the altar. 



And although her eyea were turned away, jet 

 others saw that just aa she knelt, the heavy door 

 Bwnng open, letting in a flood of moonlight from 

 without, and with a Arm, light tread, Henry Elton 

 advanced Bnd knelt beside the maiden. The 

 prayera were offered, tbe blessing pronounced, and 

 the lovers rose face to face, white cIobb beside 

 them AHTncR Elton still knelt, hia lips moving In 

 voiceless supplication. 



" 0, bow I pity Annbttb," eaid a gay girl, as the 

 revetera passed the cottage late that night "She 

 was such a happy creature, bnt of course, young 

 Elton will never marry ber now." 



And Annette Lacy started from ber plllt 

 the chiming bells broke In upon her peaceful 

 dreams. 



" Thank G<pd 1 am not there," she whispered, with 

 a sigh of relief, as her head sank back agi 

 "And thank Goo that Henry and Authuf. a

 whitest of all possible white coitagcg, wllh green 

 blinds, and Boch a profusion of flowers in the gar 

 den. 1 will not speak of my mother. It fa net ne- 

 cessary, as every one wbo has ever bad a mother, 

 knows how good and kind sbe can be. How ber 

 bright smile, loving heart, and skillful hands, make 

 borne such a happy place. But Aunt Dibbt— ahe 

 can better be Imagined than described, as tbe 

 novels ssy. She la a maiden lady, somewhere be- 

 tween furty and fifty, very romantic, fond of poetry 

 and flowers, and much addicted to the habit of 

 talking to the moon. I remember one night 1 

 slept with Aunt Debby, and after ahe had laid 

 her false ringlets, and taken oat her teeth, prepara- 

 tory to the coming on of "

commenced an apostrophe to the Queen of Night

 hear Aunt Dibbt talk without ber teeth!

 ered the reason of Aunt Debby's midnight ad

My mother only laughed and called thechildren 

 in. The boy said hia name waa Francisco, and 

 little Fi.ohelle was his slater. Their home waa in 

 Italy. Or>, each a pretty home! He bad never 

 *een anything like it J n America, They had so 

 many beautiful flowers and birds. It waa such a 

 happy home too. Entry night they would have 

 such times singing together. Their mother had 

 such a aweet voice, and their father was a good 

 hass singer, and he and the little Florellb would 

 join them. They were very, very happy. Bat 

 their mother grew so pale and thin, aud 

 she died. So they left their home then, a 

 upon the great Wdte ra— their father, little Florblle, 

 and himself. They had not been in the ship many

 and theybnrit'l him In the blue waves. So the 

 Utile orphans came to this country alone, 



"We earn a few pennies by singing," said the 

 little Florellb, 'just enough to buy our food, al- 

 though we have not had anything to eat to-day." 



My mother, bless her! made ready onr table for 

 the little ones, and then Btood by, watching them 

 eat, while her eyes shone with pleasure. As the

Tarn Evil of a Bad Temper.— A bad temper jb 

 a curse to the poBsessor, and its influence Is most 

 deadly wherever It la found. It Is allied to martyr-

 plaint and murmuring, to have every pleasant 

 thooght scared away by this evil spirit, la a aore 

 trial It Is like the sting of a scorpion— a per- 

 petual nettle, destroying your peace, rendering 

 life a burden. Its influence is deadly; and the 

 purest and sweetest atmosphere is contaminated 

 into a dead'y miasma wherever this evil genius 

 prevails. It has been eaid truly, that while we 

 ought not to let tbe bad temper of others influence 

 os, ft would be as unreasonable to spread a blister

 think of a family not suffering because of the bad
