myself shall be greatly engaged with Thomas,” 
so she had already learned to call T)r. Robinson. 
“ Fanny also is prc-occupied; Belinda must re¬ 
main.” 
When Belle demurred, and said that for 4 be 
next few weeks she would like to return as be 
had promised, and star until Mrs. Griffiths was 
suited with another companion, Anna's indlirna- 
tion rose and overpowered tier dignity. Was It 7 icr 
sister who was bo oblivions of the laws of society, 
propriety, modesty? Anna feared that Belinda 
find not reflected upon the strange appearance 
her conduct mnd have to others, to the Ogdens, 
to them all. What was the secret attraction 
which took her back? Anna said she bad rather 
not inquire, flnd went on with her oration. 
“ Unmaideniv,—not to be thought of,—tbe ad¬ 
vice of those whose experience might be trust¬ 
ed,”—does one not know the rigmarole by heart ? 
When even the father, who had been previously 
talked to, sided with his eldest daughter: when 
Thomas, who was also called Into the family 
conclave, nodded his head in an ominous man¬ 
ner, poor little Belinda, frightend, shaken, un¬ 
decided, almost promised that she would do as 
they desired; and, as she promised, the thought 
of poor Guv’s grief aud wistful haggard face 
before her, and her poor little heart, ached 
and sank at the thought. But not even Belinda, 
with all he courage, could resist the decision of 
so much experience, or Anna's hints or innuen¬ 
dos, or, more Insurmountable than all the rest, 
a sudden shyness and ronsciousnese which had 
Come over the poor little maiden, who turned 
crimson with shame and annoyance. 
Belinda had decided as she wa6 told,—had 
done as her conscience hid her,—and yet there 
was but little satisfaction in this duty accom¬ 
plished. For about half an hour she went about 
reeling like a heroine, and then, without any 
reason or occasion, it seemed to her that tbe 
mask had come off her face, that she had dis¬ 
covered herself to be a Lniitoress, that she had 
betrayed aud abandoned her kindest friends; she 
called herself a selfish, ungrateful wretch; she 
wondered what Guy would think of her- she 
was out of temper, out of spirits, out of pa¬ 
tience with herself, und the click of tbe blind 
swinging in the draft was unendurable. The 
complacent expression of Anna’s handsome 
faee put her teeth on edge. When Fanny tum¬ 
bled over the footstool with a playful shriek, to 
everybody’s surprise Belinda hurst out crying. 
—[Concluded on page 281, this number. 
Somebody’s eyes have grown dimmer, 
Off in some quaint old home, 
At morn, when the evening star* glimmer, 
Watching for aomebndy to come; 
Watching while heart grow* sicker, 
As day after day glides along. 
Watching while tear* fall the thicker, 
Choking a lullaby song. 
Somebody, wandering over 
Lands far away from his own, 
Sees, as of old, the sweet clover 
That grew by the old door-stone, 
Longs to go back and to mingle, 
As in tbe dim days of yore. 
With those round the old cottage ingle— 
Those who, alas 1 are no more. 
Somebody’s prayers are ascending, 
Ever for dear ones away, 
Prayers that His blessiBg attending 
May keep them from going astray; 
Prayers that float near and nearer 
The throne of the father above, 
And reaching the ear of the Hearer, 
Are answered In Infinite Love, 
Somebody's life-work is ended— 
Patient they wait now to go; 
Long have they faithfully wended 
Toilsome paths here below; 
Soon tbe reward they'll be reaping 
That to the fulthftal is given— 
“Well done.''—“Come up,’’ and be keeping 
Watch for somebody In Heaven!

The master of this pleasant place put out his 
great clumsy Band, and took hold of Belle’s soft 
reluctant fingers. ‘‘Ah, Belle,” he said, “is 
there no hope for me ? Will there never be any 
chance?” 
“ I wish with all my heart there was a chance,” 
said poor Belle, pulling away her band imptt- 
tiently. “ Why do you wound and puin me by 
speaking again aud again of what is far best for¬ 
gotten? Dear Mr. Griffiths, I will marry you 
to-nxorrow, if you desire it,” said the girl, with 
aandden impulse, turning pale and remembering 
all that she owed to his forbearance and gentle¬ 
ness; “but please, please don’t ask it.” She 
looked so frightened and desperate that poor 
Guy felt that this was worse than anything, aud 
sadly shook his head. 
“ Don’t be afraid,” he said. “ I don’t want to 
marry you against your will, or keep you here. 
Yes, you shall go home, and I will stop here 
alone, and cut my throat if I cannot hear the 
place without you. I am only joking. I dare 
say I shall do very well,” said Griffiths, with a 
Sigh; and he turned away and began stamping 
oil' In bis clumsy way. Then he suddenly stop¬ 
ped and looked back. Belle was standing in the 
sunshine with her face hidden in her hands. She 
was so puzzled, and sorry, and hopeless, and 
mournf'uL The only thing she could do was to 
cry, poor child,—and, by some Instinct, Griffiths 
guessed that she was crying; he knew It,—his 
heart melted with pity. The poor fellow came 
back trembling. “ My dearest,”he said, “don’t 
cry. What a brute I am to make vou cry. Tell 
mo anything in the whole world I can do to 
make you happy.” 
“If I could only do anything for you,” said 
Belle, “that woniu make me happier.'’

Griffiths Strangely forgets, indeed, I fear that 
J ou are too wanting in any great sense of ladv- 
ke propriety.” 
“Prunes, prism, propriety,” said Belle,gayly. 
“Never mind, dear Anna; he’s sent the things 
for all ot ns. Mr. Griffiths certainly never meant 
me to drink two dozen bottles of port wine in a 
week.” 
‘‘. Yoa 5 e wading the question,” said Anna, suotuu near 
f ^ ' e ” ee R wishing to talk to yon for some There are no 
please. 
It seems almost impossible to believe, and yet 
I cannot help fearing that, out of sheer spite 
and envy, Anna Barly had even then determined 
that, if she could prevent it, Belindu should 
never go back to Castle Gardens again, but re¬ 
main in the cottage. The sight ot the prcl 
things which bad been given her there, all t 
evidences which told of the esteem and love 
which she was held, maddened the foolish wo 
man. I can give no other reason for the wa 
which she opposed Belinda’s return to Mr. 
fiths. “Her duty is at home,” said Anna.
