she was beautiful or not, go long as she was 
beloved. 
A big basket found its way down to the small 
brown house that morning, and there was, be¬ 
sides, two tempting rolls of butter, sufficient, 
to keep tbe small family in luxuries lor a week, 
and the boy went dancing home with it upon 
his arm, the happiest child in tbe whole village. 
Mr. Woodford came home late to dinner that, 
day. Somehow, everything had gone wrong 
with him, and Amy saw at once there was a 
cloud upon his brow. She did not question 
him, however, and though he was unusually 
moody and taciturn, she did not chide; and 
when he spoke almost sharply to Macdown for 
her carelessness, she did not reprove him, 
though the words trembled on her lips, but 
went on tolling him how much she had accom¬ 
plished that morning, how light-hearted she 
felt, for all she was a little weary, and at length 
the cloud began to uplift itself, and by-and-by 
vanished altogether; and husband kissed her, 
and called her his little sunshine. 
He produced a pile of blanks that must be 
tilled that afternoon, said his clerk had gone off 
to the city, his partner was sick, and he had an 
argument in his brain that he believed would 
help him gain a case, if he only had time 
to note it down before he lost the thread, and 
Amy begged that she might do the writing. 
Her husband jestingly told her It would not be 
fair to make a lawyer of her, but seemed in no 
wise reluctant to accept of her proffered assist¬ 
ance ; and after taking dowu names and bounds 
ries upon slips of paper, left her to her task. 
Her penmanship was very fine, and she had u 
great deal of ingenuity, though little knowledge 
of deeds and mortgages; but when her husband 
returned at evening, it was all done, and well 
done, and he praised her. She had not been 
free from interruptions, however. Once a ped¬ 
dler had come into the hall, and she felt like 
sending him away in auger; but he looked cold 
and weary, so she had given him a seat by the 
kitchen fire, and made a trilling purchase. 
At another time an Irish woman had come to 
tbe door, inquiring if she knew where she could 
get work, and Amy had spoken kindly, and 
recommended her to an acquaintance who was 
in want of a girl; and the poor woman had 
gone away with a blessing, telling her the sight, 
of her pleasant face had done her good. 
Amy felt that evening that she had not scat¬ 
tered her blessings very widely, but her heart 
was light and joyous, and a glad, happy tear 
stole into her eyes, as the last verse of the 
evening lesson fell from her husband’s lips: 
•‘And whoever shall give to drink unto one 
of these little ones a cup of colu water only in 
the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he 
shall in no wise lose his reward.” 
dining-rwom fire, and you come right in and He 
down. Let me help you, poor thing 1 how cruel 
2 for you to try to work iu such pain!” 
Amy put her arm about the girl, and almost 
lifted her along, Macdown in too much pain to 
offer any resistance. She bathed tbe swollen 
limb, adjusted the cushions under her head, and 
; covered her with a warm blanket, and telling 
her never once to think of the work, went out 
to her task iu the kitchen. It was quite a for¬ 
midable one, unused as she was to hard labor, 
but she knew how it should be done, and an 
hour brought order out of confusion, and she 
went hack to tell Macdown how everything was 
complete, the dinner all ready to put on in its 
proper time, and that she felt better for the 
exercise; but Macdown was crying bitterly. 
Amy pulled a footstool to her side, aud sat 
down, laying her hand upon the hot forehead. 
“ Poor Macdown! I’m sorry you suffer so,” she 
said kindly. 
“It isn’t the pain, ma'am; 1 believe it all 
gone; at least, I am so happy I cannot feel it. 
I have been tliinkioghow good Hod is to give me 
such a home —me, a poor orphan girl, that 
hasn’t anybody in the whole of this big world 
to care anything about her, and there was such 
a great, tender feeling came over me I could not 
help crying. You dear little soul! God will 
bless you.” 
It was pleasant to hear those words, even 
from the lips of a servaut, mid Amy thought 
for the first time of the soul of the poor igno¬ 
rant girl, that had been, in a measure, given to 
her keeping, and learned with surprise that the 
poor servant girl was far in advance of her in 
the Christian graces of faith, and love, and that 
it was this that always made her labor so faith¬ 
fully ana cheerfully. Then Amy went to an¬ 
swer the door-belL It was a boy who had fol¬ 
lowed a load of coal which Mr. Woodford had 
ordered, and he stood twisting his chilled fin 
gers awkwardly as he asked, “Please, ma’am, 
and can I put in the coal ? ” He looked into her 
face very wistfully, as if his life almost de¬ 
pended upon her answer. 
“Certainly, if you wish to,” Amy replied, 
with a light laugh, for to her the putting in a 
tun of coal was a light matter, and she had 
never before been troubled with such errands. 
The little fellow sprang quickly away, and 
caught up the sh’oveL Amy half closed the 
door, aud then upon a sudden impulse opened 
it, and asked the child if he was not cold. 
“A little; butlwill soon get warm at work.” 
She went in and sat down to the piano, and 
running her fingers over tbe keys in a lively pre¬ 
lude, eommeueed singing a pretty Scotch ballad) 
she knew particularly delighted Macdown, and 
she had left the door leading to the dining-room 
open. She glanced up rat the window as she 
concluded, and the brightest, happiest face she 
ever remembered having seen was pressed 
close to the pane; but a* soon as the child per¬ 
ceived he was discovered, he crept back to his 
work. Amy watched him till the last piece of 
coal was in, saw how carefully he ciosed the 
door and left everything safe, and then she went 
and called him to her. It was almost a miracle 
to see a child of his years so thoughtful and 
industrious. “You are a good boy,” she said, 
softly, “and here is a dollar lor you.” 
“Oh, it is only half a dollar for one load, 
ma’am,” 
“Never mind: you may keep it all.” 
The child turned the bank note over and 
over in his hand, smoothed it affectionately, 
and looked up, with his eyes brimful of aston¬ 
ishment and joy, “I do not believe I ever had 
so much money in all my life before. It will 
help along so much.” 
“Is your mother very poor, little boy?” 
“Oh, not dreadful. We are pretty eomforta- 
able when father has work; but lately there 
isn’t much doing, and some weeks ho does not 
get hardly anything, and then we have to live 
on potatoes and salt, and a little corn bread, and 
I thought if I could just get a little butter with 
my half dollar, it would be so nice.” 
“ And where do you live?” 
“Father owns a bit of land and a small frame 
house just on the Monmouth road, and mother 
says we musn’t get in debt, ’cause it is so hard 
to get out, so we jest ’conomizes.” 
“What were you doing up at the window a 
little while ago?” Amy asked, with a twinkle 
of fun in her eyes. 
The child hung down bi9 head. “O, I 
couldn’t help listening; it was such a pretty 
noise,” he faltered, in affright. 
“I am not going to scold you, my boy; but 
do you want me to play some more for you ?” 
The bright eyes grew still brighter, and fairly 
sparkled with delight when she struck into the 
quick variations of a popular air, which the 
child recognized at once. Then she sang a few 
simple songs, and finally raised the lid of the 
strange instrument, and explained its mysteri¬ 
ous workings to the wondering mind, and was 
rewarded by a genuine heartfelt “Thank you; 
I think when I get to be a mau I will make one 
of them, and if yours is worn out by that time, 
I will make you one, too.” 
She set. out a simple lunch upon the dining¬ 
room table, and went to the kitchen to add 
coal to the wasted lire, and as the child watched 
her retreating form, he gave vent to his admi¬ 
ration by turning to Macdown, who was watch¬ 
ing the happy child with pleasure, and exclaim¬ 
ing, “ O, but aint she a beauty, though! She is 
the prettiest of anybody 1 ever did see! ” And 
Macdown thought the child quite right. 
Now, no one thought of calling Amy Wood¬ 
ford a beauty, or even pretty, for her figure was 
very slight) her face thin, and her features 
irregular, her eyes and hair too light to be beau¬ 
tiful ; but there was always a sweet expression 
about the mouth that made every one love the 
plain face after all, and her husband firmly de¬ 
clared she was cbarmiDg; but Amy kept at her 
work without thinking or even caring whether ]

STEEL COMPOSITION BELLS, 
Parson Gillette said in Ills sermon last 
evening, we must scatter bless&gs, and Amy 
Woodford went home thoughtful. She was the 
wife of a year—a happy, beloved wife. Her 
home a perfect gem. everything new and nice 
about it, a rlrong, handy .Scotch girl to do the 
work, and Amy only had the parlors and her 
own room to put in order, and an occasional 
choice dish to prepare for her husband, to look 
after things a little, and then she read and sang, 
and dallied over her sewing as she pleased. A 
quiet, happy life she led; but through it crept a 
shadow of dissatisfaction, for she waB doing so 
little-to-promote any good, just seeking her own 
enjoyment. 
The sermon had set lier to thinking. Per¬ 
haps the work she might do wfent straying 
through her dreams, for she had not forgotten, 
when Monday morning dawned, the good reso¬ 
lutions of the night before; and after Mr. Wood¬ 
ford had gone to his office, she stood by the 
parlor window, idly scraping the frost from the 
pane with her slender fingers, and then she 
walked up to the fire and held the small, soft 
palm of her chilled hands to catch the refresh¬ 
ing warmth. “‘We must scatter blessings.’ 
Well, and what can I do, in my little humble 
sphere ? There are no prisons into which I can 
carry the cheering light of human kindness, and 
with the finger of faith point the poor, doomed 
criminal to that world, where, through the mer¬ 
cies of a forgiving Savior, he may one day be 
free; no hospitals, where I can soothe and 
cheer the brave, noble men who have given 
their lives a sacrifice upon the altar of liberty; 
no cases of real, abject poverty which I can 
relieve, for I know every one in this quiet 
village; so what can I do?” 
Amy sat down almost discouraged, for the 
want of something to present itself right there 
by her own fireside; but it seemed in no ways 
likely to come; so bhe went about her morning 
work a little less cheerful than usual. 
It was a cold winter morning. The snow lay 
thick upon the ground, and the tread of the 
few passers-by sounded out sharply from the 
crisp, hard walks. Amy went to the kitchen 
on some simple errand, and found Macdown, 
the housemaid, washing the breakfast dishes, 
with one foot upon the chair, the tears running 
down her plump, red cheeks, and the usually neat 
apartment in a sad state of confusion. “ Why, 
Macdown, what is the matter ?” was Amy’s 
involuntary exclamation, in a kind but sur¬ 
prised voice. 
“ Oh, Miss Amy, but I have had the dreadful- 
iest falll I was going down the icy steps to 
hang out my last basket of clothes, and down I 
went, with my poor ankle turned right in, and 
it does pain me bad. I shall have to take the 
work easy to-day, mem; PU get through it in 
time.” 
“ Indeed, you will not do anything more, 
Macdown. Why did you not come directly to 
me ?” 
“ And what good would it do to worry you, 
dear child ?” You felt at once the kind-hearted 
house-maid loved the young house-keeper, and 
that she deserved it. 
“Now wipe your hands immediately, Mac- 
down, and let me wheel the settee before the
