their thanks for his generosity, he resolved to ques¬ 
tion them a little of the past, so he commenced by 
askiug Alice if she hud been intimately acquainted 
Vith Ahelude HUNT! no ton. 
Remembering her promise, Alice seemed much 
cmbaiassed, and answered hastily, *■ We were never 
intimate,” while at the same time she glanced to¬ 
wards her father, whose voice trembled slightly as 
he rejoined, “ I had business transactions with Ade¬ 
laide’s father, but our families seldom met.” 
The next moment he was talking of something 
else,—his manner plainly indicating that any fur¬ 
ther allusion to the Huntingtons was not desired. 
“There w something wrong, or they would not 
be so unwilling to talk of their former life,” Air. 
Howland thought, and with his suspicions strength¬ 
ened, he soon took his leave, stopping by the. way to 
call on Adelaide, whose eyes beamed a joyous wel¬ 
come as he entered the parlor, that being the place 
where she now received his frequent calls. 
Her mother was in the way in the sitting-room, 
she said, and whenever she had reason for expect¬ 
ing him, she made a tire in the parlor, shutting up 
the stove and turning down the lump until the ring¬ 
ing of the bell announced his arrival; then, while 
old Peggy hobbled to the door, she opened the 
draught and turned up the lamp, so that by the 
time Mr. Howland was ushered in, everything look¬ 
ed cheerful and inviting. By this means, too, she 
escaped another annoyance, that of being urged to 
play; for, if Mr. Howland did not see the piano, 
he was not as likely to ask her to sing, and she had 
already nearly exhausted her powers of invention 
in excuses for her indiflerent playing and the style 
of her music. 
“Ala insisted upon her taking old pieces,” she 
said, “ but by-and-by, when she had a new piano, 
she should do differently.” 
Fortunately for her Mr. Howland was not a musi¬ 
cal man and was thus more easily deceived. On Ihe 
evening of which we are speaking, after listening 
awhile to her sprightly remarks, he suddenly chang¬ 
ed the conversation by saying he had been to see 
Mr. Warren, “and he told me,” said he, “that 
he once did business with your father.” 
Turning her face away to hide its startled expres¬ 
sion Adelaide a?ked hastily, “What else did he 
tell you ?” 
“Nothing,” replied Mr. Howland. “He would 
not talk of the past.” 
“ I should not suppose he would,” quickly re¬ 
joined Adelaide,— then, after a moment, coming 
to his side, she continued, “Air. Howland, 1 wish 
you would promise never to mention that subject 
again, either to me or those Warrens. It can do 
no good, and a knowledge of the truth might in¬ 
jure some people in your estimation. Promise me, 
will you ?" 
Her hand was laid imploringly upon his arm, her 
handsome, dark eves looked beseechingly into his, 
and as most men under similar circumstances would 
have done, he promised, whie Adelaide, mentally 
congratulated herself upon the fact that his business 
never took him to the city where she had formerly 
lived and where the name of IIvnlingtOH had scarce¬ 
ly yet ceased to be a by-word In the street. Mr, 
Howland was much pleased with her, she knew, 
and if they could manage to keep up appearances a 
little longer, he might be secured. One thing, how¬ 
ever, troubled her, “ Pay-day ,” was near at hand, 
but alas for the wherewithal to pay ! ’Twas not In 
her mother’s purse, nor yet in any other purse 
whence they could procure it. Still Adelaide 
trusted much to her inventive genius, and when 
she bade Air, Howland good-night, chatting gayly 
as she accompanied him to the door, he little dream¬ 
ed how her mind was distracted with ways and 
means by which to dupe him still more, effectually. 
Three weeks passed away, and then as Aliss Eli¬ 
nor sat one evening with her brother 6he asked him 
if Mrs. Huntington’s rent were not that day due. 
“ Possibly, though 1 have not given it a thought,” 
Air. Howland answered, his voice indicating that 
he neither deemed it essential for himself to be par¬ 
ticular or his sister to be troubled about Airs. Hunt- 
in tington’s rent. 
As far as dollars and cents were concerned, Miss 
Elinor was not troubled, though she did think it 
doubtful whether Adelaide would be as prompt as 
Alice had been. But, when, as if to verify a prov¬ 
erb not necessary to lie repeated here, Adelaide 
came to the door, almost before her brother had 
eeased speaking, she began to think her supicions 
groundless and her manner was quite conciliatory 
towards the young lady, who, after throwing back 
her veil of dotted lafe and fidgeting awhile in her 
chair, managed to say, “ it is very humiliating to 
me, .Mr. Howland, to tell you what mu says I must. 
She fully expected that the agent who docs her busi¬ 
ness would have sent her money ere this, but as ho 
has not, she eanuot pay you to-day. Shall we pack 
up our things .it once ?” she continued playfully, as 
she saw the expression on Air. Howland’s face. 
“Perhaps you had better,” he answered in the 
same strain, continuing in a more sober tone, 
“ Tell your mother not to be concerned about the 
rent. It docs not matter if ’tis not paid until the 
end of the year,” 
Adelaide drew a relieved breath, while Miss Eli¬ 
nor mopped her embroidery and involuntarily gave 
vent to a contemptuous “ umph.” 
The sound caught Adelaide’s ear and thinking to 
herself “ stingy old thirty,— afraid they will lose it, I 
dare say,” she made her call as brief as possible 
Nodding to her civilly as she arose to go, Miss Eli¬ 
nor turned to her brother, saying, “You know, 
Richard, you are to go with me to-night to call 
on Jenny Hayes.” 
But Richard did not know any such thirty , and as 
his distressed sister saw him going down the walk 
with Adelaide Huntington on his arm, she mut¬ 
tered, “ I’d like to see the man who could make 
such a fool of me as that girl has made of him!" A 
wish not likely to be verified, considering that she 
had already lived forty-five years without sceirty the 
man,— [To be continued. 
own, nibbing, kissing and pitying them, until he 
felt that they were warm. Then, seated in his 
chair, he listened while she counted the silver coin, 
dropping it piece by piece into his palm and bid¬ 
ding him guess its value by its size. It was all 
numbered at last, and very joyfully Alice said to 
her father, “ There is enough to pay our rent, and 
we have been comfortable, too, thanks to Aliss 
Elinor, who has saved us many a shilling by her 
timely acts of charity.” 
Yes, Aliss Eltnor had been to them a ministering 
angel, aud however much she might be disliked at 
the White nouse on the Hill, she was loved and 
honored at the Brown House in the Hollow, and 
that night when Alice Warren sought her pillow, 
she breathed a prayer for the kind woman who was 
yet to befriend her in more ways than one.

What-is friendship ? ’Tis a thought 
Which when born can never die, 
But for all eternity 
Will, its features ne’er forgot. 
Live, with good or .evil fraught. 
What is friendship t ’Tis a .star 
Lighted by the Hand Divine, 
Which shall never cease to shine 
From its glery-crimsoned ear, 
On this gloomy world afar. 
Thus our love eternal glows,— 
Like the star with deatldees ray. 
Like the thought that lives for aye. 
Pure as perfume, when it flows 
From the lips of rarest rose.

LAiDE, he persisted m saying sue was tne most 
agreeable and intelligent girl in Oakland. It was 
in vain that she told him of the wristband, saying 
“6be presumed they sewed secretly for a living.” 
He only smiled incredulously, telling her, how¬ 
ever. that “he should like Adelaide all the better, 
if he found she was skilled in shirt-making 
In short, Miss Elinor began to have some well- 
founded fears that she should yet have au oppor¬ 
tunity of making that house uncomfortable, both to 
herself and the wife her brother might bring there, 
and it was this reflection which, made her so ner¬ 
vous as she sat there alone that pleasant March 
afternoon. 
“ I would rather he should marry little Alice 
Warren,— blind father and all,” 6he thought, just 
as the door opened softly, and “ little Alice War¬ 
ren” stood within the room. 
“I have been to the store to see Mr. Howland,” 
she said, “aud as he was not there I have come to 
the house, hoping to find him, for I would rather 
give the money into his hand, and know there was 
uo mistake.” 
“What money, child?" asked Miss Elinor, and 
Alice replied that “ it was pay-day " at the same 
time opening the little box and showing her the 
pieces of money she had saved from her earniugs. 
Miss Elinor did not know of the receipt lying 
in her brother’s writing-desk, but she resolved that 
not a penny should be taken from that box, and 
bidding Alice be seated on a little stool at her 
feet, she told her to wait till her brother came. 
Then, when she saw how languid and tired Alice 
seemed, she laid her head upon her lap, smooth¬ 
ing the long, brown curls until the weary girl fell 
asleep, dreaming that ’twas her mother’& hand 
which thus so tenderly earressed her hair. For 
half an hour she slumbered on, and then Mr. How¬ 
land came, treading carefully and speaking low, as 
his sister, pointing to the sleeping girl, bade him 
not to wake her. 
“ Look at her though. Isn’t she pretty ?” she 
whispered, aud Mr. Howland, gazing upon that 
fair, childish face, felt that he had seldom seen a 
more beautiful picture. 
In a few words Miss Elinor told why she was 
there, adding, in conclusion, “but you won’t take 
it, of course. You are rich enough without it, and 
’twill do them so much good.” 
“ I never intended to take it,” answered Mr. How¬ 
land, and going to his library, he soon returned with 
the receipt, which he laid within the box. 
Just then a new idea presented Itself to the mind 
Of Miss Elinor. They would change the silver, she 
said, into a bill, which they could roll up with the 
receipt and place in Alice’s pocket while she slept. 
This plan met with her brother’s approval, and 
when at last Alice awoke, the box was empty, 
while Mr. Howland, to whom she told her errand, 
blushing deeply to think he had found her sleep¬ 
ing, replied indifferently, “Yes, i found it there, 
and I like your promptness.” 
At that moment Miss Elinor left the room, and 
when she returned, she bore a basket of delicacies 
for the blind man, who, even then, was standing 
in the open door at home and listening anxiously 
for the footsteps which did not often linger so long. 
He heard them at last, and though they were far 
down the street he knew they were hers, and clos¬ 
ing the door he passed his lianas carefully over the 
tca-tabie, which he himself had arranged, feeling 
almost a childish joy as he thought how surprised 
Alice would be. 
“ Ob, father,” she exclaimed, when at last she 
came bounding in, “ how could you fix it so nicely, 
and only think, Miss Eltnor has sent you so many 
good things,—here’s a turkey, and cranberry sauce, j 
and pie, and cheese, and jelly-cake, and white sugar, 
—and everything! I mean, for once, to eat just as 
much as I want,” and the dc iulited girl arranged 
the tempting viands upon the table, telling her I

ALICE AND ADELAIDE 
BY MRS. MARY J. HOLMES. 
[Continued from page 52, last number.] 
Chapter V,—Calls. 
“ I wish I had gone home before,” was the first 
thought of Adelaide, who did not care to be seen 
there by Mr. Howland. It might lead to some in¬ 
quiries which she would rather should not be made. 
Still, there was now uo escape, and trusting much 
to the promise of the Warrens, she stepped back 
from the door just as Mr. Howland opened it. He 
seemed greatly surprised at finding her there, and 
still more surprised when he learned that they were 
old acquaintances. 
“It is kind in her not to desert them in their 
poverty,” he thought, and his manuer was still 
more considerate towards Adelaide, who, after 
standing a few moments, made another attempt 
to go. “Wait, Miss Huntington,” said he, “it 
was both raining and snowing when I came in, and 
you will need an umbrella." 
This was just what Adelaide wanted, and taking 
a seat she waited patiently until Mr. Howland sig¬ 
nified his readiness to go. Then, bidding Alice 
good-night, she whispered to her softly, “ You 
never will say a word of father, will you ?” 
“ Certainly not,” was Alice’s answer, and in an¬ 
other moment Adelaide was in the street walk¬ 
ing arm in arm with M)’. Howland, who began to 
speak of the Warrens and their extreme poverty. 
“ It is evident they have seen better days,” he 
said, “ but they never seem willing to speak of the 
past. Did he meet with a reverse of fortune ?” 
For a moment Adki.alde was silent, while she 
revolved the propriety of saying what she finally 
did say, and which was,—“ Ye-es,—they met with 
reverses, but as they are unwilling to talk about it, 
I, too, had hotter say nothing of a matter which 
cannot now be helped.” 
“ Certainly not, if it would be to their detri¬ 
ment,” said Mr. Howland, a painful suspicion 
entering his mind. 
Hitherto he had regarded Mr. Warren ns the 
soul of integrity, but Adelaide's manner, even 
more than her words, implied that there was some¬ 
thing wrong, aud hardly knowing what he said, he 
continued,—“Was it anything dishonorable ?” 
“ If you please/1 would rather say nothing about 
it,” answered Adelaide. “ I don’t wish to do 
them harm, and I dare say they regret it more than 
any one else can do.” 
Mentally pronouncing her a “very prudent, con¬ 
scientious girl,” Mi’. Howland walked on in 
silence, feeling the while that something was taken 
from him. He had become much interested in the 
helpless old blind man, and in his writing-desk at 
home was a receipt in full for the first quarter’s 
rent, then due in a few days. Hut Mr. Howland 
was a man of stern integrity, hating anything like 
fraud or deceit, and if Mr. Warren had been guilty 
of either, he was not worthy of respect. Alice, 
too, though she might not have been in fault, dkl 
not seem quite the same, and now as he thought of 
her, there was less of beauty in the deep blue of 
her eyes and the wavy tresses of her hair.

A little girl, happening io bear her mother speaking 
of going into half mourning, said:—"why are we going 
into half mourning, mamma ? Are any of our relations

Exchange is generally profitable. The American peo¬ 
ple are now giving Dickens plenty of American notes. He 
gave the- people a quantity in 1S43. Nothing like a bal¬ 
ance of accounts. 
A littll girl was lately reproved for playjng out doors 
with boys, and informed that, being seven years old, she 
was too Hg for that now. “ Why. grandma, the bigger 
we grow the better we like 'em.” 
-Why do the swallows build in my chimney?'’ said

build in my chimney,'’ remarked Sqibobs, “ because they 
have a t esuency to my grate,” (migrate.) 
Not liking the play of the “ Lady of Lyons," as per¬ 
formed at bait Lake, an aged Mormon arose and went 
out with his twenty-four wives, angrily staling that he 
" wouldn't sit anil see a play where a man made such a 
fuss over one woman.” 
A man who had filed a petition for a divorce was in¬ 
formed by his counsel that his wife had filed a “cross 
petition," as lawyers calls it. “A cro-- petition, 1 ' ex¬ 
claimed the husband; "that’s just like her, She never 
did a good-natured thing in her life.” 
In reply to Ike's question of " what Mr. Seward meant 
when lie 'said he wanted St. Thomas for a coaling station,” 
Mrs. Partington (after rubbing her forehead thoughtful].) 
for a moment with the bow of her silver spectacles,) re¬ 
plied. "It must be became ii shakes so, Isaac, and is. 
therefore, a good place Hi sift (he ashes. " 
“That is probably the oldest piece of furniture in 
America,” said a collector of antique curiosities to a 
friend, nnd pointing to a venerable looking table as he 
spoke. “ How old is it V‘ asked the friend. “ Nearly four

Arabic table over two thousand years old.” "Indeed?" 
"Yes, the multiplication tabu."

change his toilet, when he encountered cm tho2d door an 
(iver-uruBsed and vulgar woman—"Are you Ihe porter?' 
questioned ihe woman, laying her hand upon Theodore’s 
arm. “ No. madam,’’ was the quiet response; " Are you 
the chambermaid?" 
A little boy had Jived for some lime with a very penu¬ 
rious uncle, who took good cure that ihe child’s health 
should not be injured by over-feeding The uncle was 
one day walking out (the child at his side,) when a friend 
accosted him, accompanied by a greyhound. While the 
ciders were talking, the little fellow, never having seen a 
dog of so slim and slight a texture, clasped the creature 
round the neck, with the impassioned cry“ Oli, doggie, 
doggie! and did ye live wf your tiucle, loo, that ye are 
so thin ?”

“Will you go in? ’Tis a long time since you 
were here,” said Adelaide, when at last they 
reached her mother’s door. 
Her invitation was accepted, and the clock struck 
eight ere Mr. How land arose to leave. Accom¬ 
panying him to the door, Adelaide said, irnplor- 
ingly, “I trust you will forget onr conversation 
concerning those Warrens. You know I didn’t 
really tell you anything.” 
Mr. Howland bowed and walked away, wishing 
in his heart that “ she had not told him anything,” 
or at least had not created in his mind a suspicion 
against people he had hitherto liked so much. So 
absorbed was he in his meditations that he did not 
at first observe the slender figure which, wrapping 
its thin shawl close around it, came toiling on, but 
when the young girl had reached him and the rude 
north wind blew the brown curls over her white 
face, he knew it was Alice Warren, and his first 
impulse was to offer her his arm and shield her 
from the storm. But Adelaide’s dark insinuations 
were ringing in his ears, and so Alice went on 
alone, while the rain and the sleet beat upon her 
head and the cold penetrated through her half-worn 
shoes, chilling her weary feet, aud sending a shiver 
through her frame. Bui she did not heed it,—did 
not even think of the driving storm, so eager was 
she to be at home, where she could count the con¬ 
tents of the little box and see if with the money 
received to-night there were not enough to pay the 
quarter’s rent. 
But the blind man, listening to the storm, knew 
how cold his darling would be, and groping in the 
darkness, he added fresh fuel to the fire, and then 
swept up the hearth, placing her chair a little 
nearer to his own, so it would seem pleasant to 
her when she came. Boor, helpless man ! He 
could not see,—nay, he had never seen his child, 
but he could fancy just how bright and beautiful 
she would look, sitting at his side with the fire he 
had made shining on her hair; and when at last she 
came, he clasped her little red hands between his

Incomprehensible.— There are three things su¬ 
premely incomprehensible:—Time, Distance, Veloc¬ 
ity. Of time, we are always its possessors but never 
possess it. The past is gone, the present is going, 
aud the future has not come to us. As for distance, 
we may indeed gaze into its realms, but.who can 
measure its profundity but Him whom “the heaven 
of heavens cannot contain?” Science makes the 
brain reel as it sends down its sounding lines, but 
what they bring up is but sand grains from the fath¬ 
omless caves and vaster immensities of eternity's 
ocean. And of velocity, we pause utterly confound¬ 
ed at the idea of light moving twelve millions of 
miles a minute and sweeping down to us from stars 
so remote that it takes 35,000 years to accomplish 
the journey.

Adversity exasperates fools, dejects cowards, 
draws out the faculties of the wise and industrious, 
puts the modest to the necessity of trying their skill, 
awes the opulent, and makes the idle industrious.
