thumps (if *neh a thing W possible) at the sound 
of her voice. She had lost much of her shy¬ 
ness, and they were talking of anything that 
came into their heads. She had been telling 
him about Myrtle Cottage, and the spiders there, 
and looking up, laughing, she was surprised to 
see him staring at her verv sadly and kindly. He 
turned away abruptly, and began to help him-

“It’s very good of you,” Guv said, looking 
away, “ to come and brighten this dismal bouse, 
and to stay with a poor suffering woman, and a 
great uncouth fellow like myself.” 
“ But yon are both very kind ” said Belinda, 
simply. “ I shall never forget—” 
“Kind!” cried Guy, rongtUy. “I behaved 
like h brute to you ana your lather yesterday. I 
am net. used to ladies’ society. I am stupid, and 
shy, and awkward.” 
“ If you were very stupid,” said Belle, trail. 
iDtr, jou would not have said that* Mr. Grif- 
nths. Stupid people always think themselves 
charming, ’ 
"When Guv said good-night immediately after 
dinner, as usual, he sighed again, and looked at 
bar with such kind aud melancholy eye* that 
Belle felt an odd affection and compassion for 
him. “ I never should have thought it possible 
to like him so much,” thought the girl, as she 
slowly went along the passage to Mrs. Griffiths’ 
door. 
It was an odd life this young creature led in 
the great silent stifling house, with uncouth Guy 
for her playfellow, the sick woman’s complaints 
and fancies for her duty in life. The silence of 
it all, its very comfort and splendidness, op¬ 
pressed Belludu more at times than a simpler 
and more busy life. But the garden wa & an end¬ 
less pleasure and refreshment, and she need to 
stroll about, skim over the terraces a u d walks 
smell the roses, feed the birds and the goldfishes! 
Sometimes I have stood at my window watching 
the active figure flitting by, in and out under the 
trellis, fifteen times round the pond, thirty-two 
times along the terrace walk. Belle was obliged 
to set herself tasks, or she would have got tired 
sometimes of wandering about bv herself. AH 
this time she never thuught of Guy except as a 
curious sort of companion ; any thought of sen¬ 
timent had never once occurred to her. 
very vaiuable. (Guy laughed and utterly refused 
to accept a sixpence of her salary.) Mrs. Grif¬ 
fiths evidently wanted her; Guv, poor fellow, 
would have given all he had to keep her, as we 
all knew too well.

OOD AND CHEAP BOOKS FOR 
BY M. H. COBB 
There is an untold weight of bliss 
In hating little, loving much, 
Until the heart that throbs smite 
Shall thrill at sorrow’s every touch. 
We love too little here below— 
We know too little of each other; 
But in the prime, 
Of a coming time. 
Each man shall be to each a brother. 
Ambition, envy, greed and pride. 
The sonl of man too much consume; 
Too few seek out life’s darker side, 
With lore its darkness to illume. 
Too few are great in Join," good, 
A* guides and helps to one auother, 
Few gaze away. 
To the coming day, 
When each shall be to each a brother. 
We do not hear the angel feet 
That fall beside n» in life’s path, 
Nor do wc feel the hearts that beat 
So near to ours. Existence hath 
So much to share with greedy self. 
We grow oblivions to each other; 
And thus delay 
The coming day 
When each shall he to each a brother. 
Kind words bear hearing, Christ-like deeds 
Are prayers embodied forth to view; 
O speak! and heal the heart that bleeds I 
Act! and the earth may bloom anew 1 
If Earth hath loet one Eden-time, 
Through love it yet may win another, 
When man shall be 
Unselfish, free, 
And each shall be to each a brother.

instruments in the hands of /ate. News came 
that Mr. Burly was ill, and little Belinda, with 
an anxious face, and a note in her trembling 
hand, came into Mrs. Griffiths’ room one day 
to say she must go to him directly. ‘‘Your 
father is ill,” wrote Anna. “ Circumstances de¬ 
mand your immediate return to him.” Guy hap¬ 
pened to he present, and when Belie left the 
room he followed tier oat into the passage. 
“You arc going V” he said. 
“1 don’t know what Anna means by circum¬

linda, almost crying. 
“And I want you,” BaidGny; “but that don’t 
matter, of course. Go,—go, since you wish it.”

Boor Belle! I wonder how many tears she 
shed that day after, her father was gone ? While 
Bhc.was waiting to be let in to Mrs. Griffiths she 
amused herself by wandering abont the house, 
dropping a little tear here and there as she went 
along, and trying to think that it amused her to 
see so many yards of damask and stair-carpeting, 
all exactly alike, so many acres of chintz of the 
same pattern. 
“Mr. Griffiths desired me to say that thlB 
tower room was to he made ready for you to sit 
in, ma’am,” said the respectful butler, meeting 
her and opening a door. “ It has not been used 
before.” And he gave her the key, to which a 
label was affixed, with “Miss Bakly’s Room,” 
written upon it, In the housekeeper’s scrawling 
handwriting. 
Belle gave a little shriek oi admiration. It was 
a stjuare room, with fonr windows, overlooking 
the gardens, the distant park, and the broad 
cheerful road which ran past the house. An ivy 
screen had been trained over one of the window*, 
roses were clustering in garlands round the deep 
still easements. There was an Indian carpet, 
and pretty silk curtains, and comfortable chintz 
chairs and sofas, upon which beautiful birds 
were flying and lilies wreathing. There was an 
GALILEO’S INSTRUMENTS, 
The museum called La SpeaAa, in Florence,

greater portion of these instruments are com¬ 
posed of extremely thin transparent glass, and 
they are said to be perfect marvels of the elass-

carefully photographed, and it is said that these 
interesting reproductions of the instruments,

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 
One day that Belle had been in the garden 
longer than usual, she remembered a note for 
Mrs. Griffiths that she had forgotten to write, 
and springing up the steps into'the hall, on the 
way, with some roses in her apron, she suddenly 
nm up against Guy. who had come home earlier 
than usual. The girl stood blushing and looking 
more charming than ever. The young fellow 
stood quite still too, looking with such express¬ 
ive and admiring glances that Belinda blushed 
deeper still, arid made haute to escape to her 
room. Presently the gong sounded, and there 
was no help for it, and she had to go down ngaiu, 
Guy was in the dining-room, as polite and as shv 
as usual, and Belinda gradually forgot the pass¬ 
ing impression. The butler put the dessert on 
the table and left them, and when she bud lin-

eyes full in his line. She could hardly befieve

AN ANAGRAM, 
d it began. “ To-” had been scrawled under¬ 
neath; and then the letter following the “To ” 
ir erased. Belle blinked her eyes over it, but could 
make nothing out, A little further on she found 
[i another scoring,— • 
1 - “ O, my love's like a red, red rose, 
That’s newly sprang in June? 
’ O, my love’s like the melody, 
e That’s sweetly played in tune 1” 
= and this was signed with u G. 
“ Love! That is not for me; but I wish I had 
* a slave,” thought poor Belle, hanging her head 
1 over the book as it lay open iri her lap, “aud 
I that he was clever enough to tell me what my 
II father is doing at this raiuute.” She could im- 
1 agine it for herself, nias! without any magic 
f interference. She could sec the dreary little 
cottage, her poor old father wearily returning 
; alone. She nearly broke down at the thought, 
l but some one knocked at the door at that in¬ 
stant, and she forced herself to he calm as one 
1 of the servants came In with a telegram. Bclin- 
1 da tore open her telegram in some alarm aud 
' trembling terror of batl news from home; aud 
theiksmllcd a sweet loving smile of relief. Tlio 
telegram came from Guy. It was dated from his 
office. “Your father desires me to send word 
that he is safe home. He sends his love. I have 
been to D. on business, and traveled down with 
him.” 
Belinda could not help saying to herself that 
Mr. Griffiths was very kind to have thought of 
her. His kindness gave her courage to meet his 
mother. 
It was not very much that she had to do; but 
whatever it was she accomplished well aud thor¬ 
oughly, as was her way. Whatever the girl put 
her hand to 6he put her whole heart tu at tbe 
same time. Her energy, sweetness, aud good 
spirits cheered the sick woman and did her infi¬ 
nite good. * Mrs. Griffiths took a great fancy to 
her, aud liked to have Belle abont her. Belle 
lunched with her the first day. She had better 
dine down below, Mrs. Griffiths said; and when 
dipner - time came the girl dressed herself, 
smoothed her yeUow curls, and went shyly down 
the great staircase into the dining-room. It 
must be confessed that she glanced a little curi¬ 
ously at the table, wondering whether she was 
to dine alone or in company. This problem was 
soon solved; a side door burst open, and Guy 
made his appearance, looking shy and ashamed 
of it as he came up aud shook hands with her. 
“ Miss Belinda,” 6aid he, “will you allow me 1 
to dine with you?” 
“You must do as you like,” 1 
quickly starting back. 
“ Not at all,” said Mr. Griffiths, 
tirely as you shall decide. If you c 
' company, you need only say so. I 
oflended. Well, shall we dine toge 
“O, certainly,” laughed Belinda, confused in 
her turn. 
So the two sat down to dine together. For 
the first time in his life Guy thought ih* great 
room light enough and bright and comfortable. 
The gold and silver plate didn’t seem to crush 
him, or the draperies to suffocate, nor the great 
columns ready to fall upon him. There was Be¬

short, but her mintress impatiently motioned 
her to go ou. She [ibeyed, stumbling aud tum¬ 
bling over the words before her, until there 
came a knock at the door, and, contrary to his 
custom, Guy entered the room. He looked very 
little, poor fellow, and sad and subdued. “I 
wanted to sec you, Miss Belinda,” lie said aloud, 
“ and tell you that 1' hope this will make no dif¬
