comfort in braving the worst, “yon refused to let

saw him toiling up the hill from the station with 
his huge bunch of flowers. She came running 
to meet him with fluttering skirts and out¬ 
stretched hands, and sweet smiles gladdening 
her face. “Opapa, how lovely! Have you hada 
pleasant time?” 
Her father hardly responded. “Take the 
roses, Belle,” he said. “I have paid for them 
dearly enough." He went into the house wea¬ 
rily, and gat down in the shabby arm-chair, And 
then he turned and called Belinda to him wist¬ 
fully, and put his trembling arm round abouther. 
Poor old Mr. Il.irly waa no mighty Jephthah; 
but hie feeble old head bent with some 6uch pa¬ 
thetic longing and remorse over bia Belle, as he 
drew her to him, and told her, in a few simple, 
broken words, all the story of what had befallen 
him in those few hours since he went away. He 
could not part from her. “1 can’t, I can’t,” he 
said, as the girl put her tender arms about his 
neck. 
WIT AND HUMOB, 
Two old friends met, not long since, after a 
separation of thirty-five years. “ Well, Tom,” 
said one, “bow has the world gone with yon, 
old boy ? Married yet ¥” “ Yes, and I’ve got a 
family you can’t match —seven boys and one 
girl.” “ I can match it exactly,” was the reply, 
“for I have seven girls and one boy.” 
A little boy having asked his mother what 
“blood relations” meant, and being told it 
meant near relations, said, alter a moment’s 
thought, “Then, mother, you must be the 
bloodiest relation I've got.” 
A drunken fellow sitting on the steps of a 
church in Boston, the cold wind blowing chill¬ 
ingly round the corner, exclaimed:—“ If heaven 
(hie) tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, I wish 
the lamb (hie) was in the corner.” 
A CRfSTT old doctor declined to pay his pa¬ 
ver’s bill, sayiDg “his pavement had been spoiled 
and then covered up with earth to hide the bad 
work.” “Doctor,” was the reply, “mineisnot 
the only bad work they put earth over.” 
Edmond About says“ Interpose a little 
head in a tiny cap between the world and you; 
you will witness a most beautiful phenomenon 
which astronomers have not yet studied—the 
total eclipse of the world.” 
An Indiana j>aper refused lately to publish 
eulogiums gratis, but added, “We will publish 
the simple announcement of the death of any of 
our friends with pleasure.” 
A gentleman having presented his church 
with the “Ten Commandments,” it was wittily 
said that he gave them away because he could 
not keep them.

And thus it is ever with ail of our race,— 
Through the foliage of earth each sees gleams of

And none of us mortals may e’er hope to see 
All Ills glory revealed through the leaves of one tree.

now. Yon need not reproach me any more.

don’t much care what happens. My Belle, my 
poor Belle,— my poor girls!” 
All this time Guy said never a word. He mo¬ 
tioned Mr. Barly to follow him into the library. 
Mr. Barly obeyed, and stood meekly waiting for 
the coming onslaught He stood in the full glare 
of the morning sun, which was pouring through 
the unblinded window. His poor old scanty 
head was bent, and his hair stood on end in the 
Bnnshine. 
His eyes, avoiding the glare, went vacantly 
traveling along the scroll-work on the fender, 
and so to the coal scuttle and to the skirting on 
the wall, and back again. Dishonored,—yes. 
Bankrupt,—yes. Threescore years had brought 
him to this,—to shame, to trouble. It was a 
hard world for unlucky people, but Mr. Barly 
was too much broken, too weary and indifferent, 
to feel very bitterly even against the world. 
Meanwhile Guy was going on with his reflec¬ 
tions, and like those amongst us who are still 
young and strong, he could put more iife and 
energy into hl» condemnation and judgment of 
actions done, than the unlucky perpetrators 
of the deeds themselves. Some folks do wrong 
as well ns right, with scarcely more than half a 
mind to it. 
“How could yon do such a thing?” cried the 
young man indignantly, beginning to rush up 
and down the room in his hasty, clumsy way, 
knocking against tables and chairs as he went 
along. “How could you doit?” he repeated. 
“I learnt it yesterday by chance. What can 1 
say to you that your own conscience should not 
have told yon already ? How could you do it ?” 
Guy hud reached the great end window, and 
stamped with ft mixture of anger and sorrow. 
For all his fierceness and gruffness, he was sorry 
for the poor feeble old man whose fate he held 
in bis bund. There was the garden outside, and 
its treasure and glory of roses; there was the 
rose lying on the ground that old Barly Lad 
taken. It, was lying broken and shining upon 
the gravel,—one rose out of the hundreds that 
were bursting, and blooming, and lulling on 
their spreading stems. It was like the wrong 
old Barly had done his kinsman, — one little 
la chartered by the state of Pennsylvania, and Organized 
in aid of the

escenco in the scheme. I could have explained 
matters to him a little, hot I thought It best to 
say nothing. Mrs. Griffiths had overheard, and 
understood a word or two of what he had said 
to me that night, when she was taken ill. Was 
it some sudden remorse for the past? Was it a 
new-born mother's tenderness stirring in her 
cold heart, which made her question and cross- 
question rne the next time that I wus alone with 
her? There had often been a talk of some com¬ 
panion or better sort of attendant. When the 
news came of poor old Barly’s failure, it was 
Mrs. Griffiths herself who first vaguely alluded 
again to this scheme. 
“1 might engage odc of those girls,—the—the 
Belinda, I think you called her?” 
1 was touched, and took her cold hand and 
kissed it. 
“ 1 um sure she would be an immense comfort 
to you,” I said. “ Yon would never regret your 
kindness.” 
The sick woman sighed and turned away im¬ 
patiently, and the result was the invitation to 
dinner, which turned out so disastrously.

[Continued from page 2C0, last number.] 
Mr. Barly breakfasted by himself again next 
morning. Mr. Griffiths had not returned all 
night. In his secret heart Mr. Griffiths’ guest 
was almost relieved by the absence of bi6 enter¬ 
tainer; it seemed like a respite. Perhaps,.after 
all, everything would go well, and the confession 
which he had contemplated with such terror the 
night before need never be made. For the pres¬ 
ent it was clearly no use to wait any longer at 
the house. Mr. Barly asked for a cab to take 
him to the station, left his compliments and re¬ 
grets and a small sum of money behind him, and 
then, as the cab delayed, strolled out into the 
front garden to wait for it. 
Even in the front court the roses were all 
abloom; a great snow cluster was growing over 
the doorway, a pretty toa-rose was liangiug its 
head over the scraper; against the outer railing 
which separated the house from the road rose 
trees had been planted. The beautiful pink fra¬ 
grant heads were pushing through the iron rail¬ 
ings, and a delicious little rose-wind came blow¬ 
ing in the poor old fellow’s face. Hu began to 
think—no wonder—of Belle and her fancy for 
roses, and mechanically, without much reflect¬ 
ing upon what he was about, he stopped and 
inhaled the ravishing sweet smell of the great 
dewy flowers, and then put out his hand and 
gathered one; and as he gathered it, a bharp 
thorn ran into his finger, and a heavy grasp was 
laidjupon his shoulder. 
“ So it is yon, is it, who sneak in and steal my 
roses ?” said on angry voice. “ Now that I know 
who it is, 1 bhali give you in charge.” 
Mr. Barly looked round greatly startled. He 
met the tierce glance of two dark brown eyes 
under shaggy brows, that werelfrowning very 
fiercely. A broad, thick-set, round-shouldered 
young man of forbidding aspect, had laid hold 
of him. The young man let go his grasp when 
he saw the mistake he had made, but did not 
cease frowning. 
“ O! it is you, Mr. Barly,” ho said. 
“ I was just going,” said the stockbroker, 
meekly. “I amfglad you have returned in time 
for me to sec you, Mr. Griffiths, I am 6orry I 
took your rose. My youngest daughter is fond 
of them, and 1 thought 1 might, out of all this 
garden full, you would not,—she had asked—” 
There was something so stern and unforgiving 
in Mr. Griffiths’ face that the merchant stumbled 
in his words, and stopped short surprised, in the 
midst of his explanations. 
“ The roses were not yours, not if there, were 
ten gardens fall. I won’t have my roses broken 
off,” said Griffiths; “ they should be cut with a 
knife. Come back with me; I want to have a 
little talk with you, Mr. Barly.” 
Somehow the old fellow’s heart began to beat, 
and he felt himself turn rather sick. 
“I was detained last night by some trouble in 
my office. One of ray clerks, in whom 1 thought 
I could.have trusted, absconded yesterday after- 
nooffi I have beeD all the way to Liverpool in 
pursuit of him. What do you think should be 
done with him V” And Mr. Griffiths, from nnder 
bio thick eyebrows, gave a quick glance at his 
present victim, and seemed to expect some sort 
of answer. 
“You prosperous men cannot realize what it 
is to be greatly tempted,” said Mr. Barly, with a 
faint 6mile. 
“ Do you know that Wheal Tre RoBas has come 
to grief a second time ?” said young Mr. Griffiths, 
abruptly holding out the morning’s Times, as 
they walked along. “I am not a prosperous 
man; I had a great many shares in that unlucky 
concern.” 
Poor Barly stopped Bhort anil turned quite 
pale, and began to shake so that he had to 
put his hand out and lean agaiust the wall. 
Failed! Was he doomed to misfortune? Then 
there was never any chance for him—never. No ■ 
hope! No hope of paying back the debt which , 
weighed upon his conscience. He could not re- , 
alize it. Failed! The rose had fallen to the , 
ground; thepoor unlucky man stood still, starmg 
blankly in the other’s grim, unrelenting face. 
“Iam ruined,” he said. 
“ You are ruined! Is that the worst you have • 
to tell me?” said Mr. Griffiths, still looking , 
piercingly at him. Then the other felt that he , 
knew all. , 
“I have been very unfortunate,—and very 1 ] 
much to blame,” said Mr. Barly, still trembling; , 
“terribly to blame,—Mr. Griffiths. lean only ; 
throw myself upon your clemency.” £ 
“ My clemency! my mercy! I am no philan- (

When Mr. Barly came down to breakfast the 
morning after bis return, be found another of 
those great square official-looking letters upon 
the tabic. There was a check in it for A'100. 
“You will have to meet heavy expenses," the 
young man wrote. “ I am not sorry to have an 
opportunity of proving to you that it was not 
the money which you have taken from me I 
grudged, but the manner in which yon took it. 
The. only reparation you can make me is to keep

In truth tli * family prospects were not very 
brilliant. Myrtle Cottage was resplcndant with 
clean windows and well-scrubbed door-steps, 
but the furniture wanted repairing, the larder 
refilling. Belie could not darn up the broken 
flap of tlie'dining-room table,

image, the strong, round-backed, broad-shoul¬ 
dered young man, with gleaming white teeth 
aud bla^k bristling hair; the feeble aud uncer¬ 
tain culprit, with his broken wandering Iooks, 
waiting hi a sentence. It was not Guy who de¬ 
livered It. it came,—no very terrible one alter 
all,—prompted by some unaccountable secret 
voice and impluse. Have we not all of us 
sometimes suddenly felt ashamed in our lives iu 
the face of misfortune and sorrow? Are we 
Pharisees, standing in the market place, with 
our phylacteries displayed to the world? We 
ask ourselves, in dismay, does this man go home

of mutton out of pare bones, though she got 
up ever so early; sweeping would not mend the 
hole in the carpet, nor could she duet the mil¬ 
dew stains off the walls, the cracks out of the 
looking-glass. 
Anna was morose, helpless, and jealous of the 
vouDgcr girl’s influence over her father. Fanny 
was delicate; oue gleam of happiness, however, 
streaked her horizon; Emily Ogden had written 
to invite her to spend a few days there. When 
Mr. Barly and his daughter had talked over Mr. 
Griffiths’ proposition, Belle’s own good sense 
told her that it would be folly to throw away 
this good chance. Let Mrs. Griffiths be ever so 
trying and difficult to deal with, and her son a 
thousand times sterner and ruder than he had 
already shown himself, she was determined to 
bear it all. Belinda knew her own powers, aud 
felt as if she could endure auvthlne', and that 
she should never forget the generosity and for¬ 
bearance ho had shown her poor father. Anna 
was delighted that her sister should go; she 
threw off the shawl in which she had muffled 
herself up ever since their reverses, brightened 
up wonderfully, ffilken mysteriously of Fanny’s 
prospects, as she helped both the girls pack, 
made believe to shed a few tears as Belinda set 
off, and bustled back into the house with re¬ 
newed importance Belinda looked back and 
waved her hand, but Anna’s hack was already 
turned upon her. 
Poor Belinda! For all her courage and cheer¬ 
fulness her heart sank a little as they reached 
the great bronze gates in Castle Gardens. She 
would have been more unhappy still if she had 
not had to keep up her father's spirits. It was 
almost dinner-time, and Mrs. Griffiths’ maid 
came down with a message. Her mistress was 
tired, ami wa6 just going to bed, and would see 
her iu the morning; Mr. Griffiths was in town; 
Mis6 Williamson would call upon Miss Barlv 
that evening. 
Dinner had been laid as usual in the great 
dining-room, with its marble columns and" dra¬ 
peries, and Dutch pictures of game, and of birds 
aud flowers. Three servants were iu waiting, a 
great silver eliandelier lighted the dismal meal.

Guy was not the less 
worthy of his Belinda, poor fellow, because a 
thought of her crossed his mind, and because he 
blushed up, and a gentle look came into his 
heart,—a shame of his strength aud prosperous¬ 
ness, of Lif probity and high honor. When had 
he been templed ? What was it but chance that 
he had been born what he was ? And yet old 
Barly, in all his troubles, had a treasure in hit 
possesion for which Guy felt he would give all his 
good fortune and good repute, his roses,—red, 
white, and golden,—his best heart’s devotion, 
which he secretly felt to he worth all the rest. 
Now was the time, the young man thought, to 
make that proposition which he had in his mind. 
“Look here,” said Guy, hanging Lia great 
shaggy head, and speaking quickly and thickly, 
as if he was the culprit instead of the accuser. 
“ Ion imply it was for your daughter’s sake that 
you cheated me. I cannot consent to act as you 
would have me do, and take your daughter’s 
money to pay myself back. But if one Of them 
—Miss Belinda, since she likes roses—chooses to 
come here and work the debt off, 6he can do so. 
My mother is in bad health and wants a compan¬ 
ion ; she will engage her at,— let me see, a hun¬ 
dred guineas a year, and in this way, by degrees, 
tbe debt will be cleared off.” 
“In twenty years,” said Mr. Barly, bewildered, 
relieved, astonished. 
“Yes, in twenty years,” said Guy, as if that 
was tbe most natural thing in the world. “ Go 
home and consult her, and come back and give 
me tbe answer.” 
And ns he spoke the butler came in to say that 
the hansom was at the door. 
Poor old Barly bent his worn, meek head, ami 
went out. He was shaken and utterly puzzled.

would have obeyed. He could only do as he
