nights not far from twelve maybe a little before maybe a little after but the first time i saw bim 1 saw him as plain as i see you standing there mr blakesford had come before her and was mantling very still now she sits up late mostly always her light wasn't out and he must have tapped on inr window for she came and opened it afier a little while he went away but every night al about the same hour maybe a little earli er maybe a little later i don'l exactly know he has come again foi two whole recks i tell you the born truth a i am a christian and hope to go to heaven it has heen every

couldn't rest the only guidance i seemed io get from my prayers was a prompting to come right to you i„d forgive me if i have lone wrong she hasn't any relatives living now that would come like a

p°d painfully the events of the last two ffeeka wen returning and arranging iiciiiselves iii his memory there was &» denying the fact that for this time there bad been something about faith which had surprised and worried him a cloud over the horizon of their happi ness in the gray light of which he had been groping after tlie lost sunshine in vain to noble natures nothing is harder than to allow the possibility of change towards us in the affection of one we love if even when the young minister found ; his betrothed pale silent and distraught the possibility that she loved him less j truly than she had at first supposed she did crossed his mind he banished the fear ; with a keen sense of disgrace in having allowed it to rise unworthy of her he ; knew he was but then but then after | all bow little that tells he had ques i tinned her with regard to the school did that annoy her .' no it was phasantcr than ever and the improve ment more marked had mrs deacon ' hatch made ber another troublesome call .'" no mrs deacon hatch had given her up and was keeping her phials of wrath well corked forthe ministers wife his every attempt to cheer her and divine just what and where the trouble lay had failed and he had settled down to the un comfortable conclusion that faith knew and felt more deeply his own half-eon sciously eeeognized disapprobation of her course in connection with parish matters than be had supposed this he could not i help and he strove by greater kindness ! and more heartily-expressed trust to bridge over tue dissatisfaction if that is uol too bard a name for his state of mind until having made her his wife he should have less fear of being misunder stood but now sophronia kipp's story ex plained the whole and what an explana i tion to accept . that she had no relative | living faith had often assured him — no relative bul how in that western life j about some lover could it be that there had been some previous engagement all knowledge of which shehad kept from him and that she had been sought and found and did not know how to free herself from j the entanglements that surrounded her when we reach heaven we shall undoubt edly lind ourselves auioug beings so p '- feel thai it will be one of our greatest joys never to fear or find a blemish but ! alas for our angels here so often so very often they flutter from us with broken .'. ings henry blakesford ashamed to doubt faith's love for him — sure that some thing had gone wrong with her bewil dered and uncertain came suddenly to •< suspicion which once indulged grew even moment into more and more ofa i certainty until bc found himself summing no every look ami word and deed of faith's and arraiguing them in dreadful array against her strange as it may seem through all this process he did not l nibt her love for him he knew that his own love was only the brighter for being tried by this lire but the dreadful accusa tion was thai at some time in her life there had been an experience which she dared uot reveal to him a dark spet on the raiment of his peerless one which she would hide from his sight the more mr blakesford indulged this thought the more bewildered ttnd unhappy he became until beseemed to himself to have losl his hold upon everything and to be dropping away into a dark and i perilous sea without even a helm to guide ; bim i will go to her these were the lirst words he spoke he looked at his watch she was still in ' school she trusted with the education ! of the young people his affianced wife \ faith halstead he repeated her name j over slowly time afier time almost as if he expected ir would answer for her and explain away the change but stay in '■ his study he could not even through : the open windows the air seemed to con line to choke him so he went out for a long swinging walk over the near high bills perhaps he thought indistinctly to : himself cod may be waiting up there to j soothe and comfort me mr jones saw him going by the corner grocery and dropping in tin-smith's shop be remarked : i jest see our minister streaking away out of town to the mountains i griess it ain't much of a sermon we shall get next sabbath suppose now i should leave my shop who would tend to my business if i don't i should like to know .'" but perhaps god was waiting for liim there and mr jones purblind as so many of us are never dreamed that the mountain should become to his pastor what sinai did to moses that amid the thundering and lightnings and the noise of the trumpet and tlie very thick dark ness there should be written for him a new law and that when god had thus talked with him from heaven he should build an alter unpolluted by any tool and the sacrifice that he should bring to law upon it would be the choicest burnt offerings when mr blaksford came back from his walk he went at once home school was out he knew very well faith halstead was in lor own room he had sometimes dropped in there for a moment when he was returning from his noon stroll but he had found now before he could see her he must take time and prayerful prepara tion as he entered his study be saw in note from her waiting for him inside he read : do not come to-night lam not well f h a subterfuge " lie said to himself her visitor comes again and now be began i for the first time to think of the parish in i connection with this and the terrible par j ish scandal it would cause others be | sides sophronia kipp must know of these j visits soon if they did not now let me do him tlie justice to say lhat his first thought was of her how could he shield her how warn her that she had been watched and all was known ! so to her he could not write to her i was a beggarly way of meeting an ex | tremity send through sophronia kipp for one moment he thought of but only i one and yet he felt keenly that not an hour was to be lost to-night would bring another visit and a new chance for ex posure and disgrace if mr blakesford had not been himself but some one else he might have thought i of and done a great many things which r did not occur to him now but by nature reticent and proud by grace anxious that his ephod should be made only of gold ol blue and of purple of scarlet and line twined linen with cunning work deeply and nobly in love with faitli halstead j he was hedged in others might probably ! would have forced their way out without ' a tithe of the difficulties which beset him | lie saw hour after hour slip away saw the gray shades of evening begin to creep up over the town the lights to twinkle out in one house after another and he j knew as these slow hours drew thein , selves so painfully along what they were bringing over and over in his mind rang sophronia kipp's parting words god comfort you my poor young pastor i am so sorry for you there was some thing painful in them to liim now why not sorry for faith halstead — how much more she needed the sympathy and help than he did .' why bad uol sophronia kipp gone to her instead of coming to iiini . w'h-it was the reason women were so seldom willing to help each other where the question was of one's reputa talion .' — indeed in his grief he was bit ter enongh to wonder if she had not en joyed this piece of gossip but this was a passing worried thought : miss kipp had done herself justice and he felt it sleep of course he could not when the time for rest came to go to bed would be to augment the excitement and worry of his condition with only a vagne idea that in some way lie must be near iter musl see and know foi himself the truth of tiie story — he went out as the clock struck twelve and walked slow-'y towards her house he never th"'<giit that he might meet some oftb parish who would wonder at seeing liim hover in around her at this time of tbe night in forgot even mis kipp who was not less likely to be vigilant but he went through one tree after another yearn ing as a great wounded heart only can yearn for some proof to be vouchsafed to him tliat it all bad been only a hideous dream he should lind her room dark she would be sleeping that pure dream less sleep which the good godsends to his beloved hut in her window burned a lamp ami he could see that the shade was partly lifted ma g_i ■■ falling in love there is nothing — no moral or intellect ual phenomena more strange than fall ing in love what is it whence it ori ginates ; how it is brought about ; those things aie among the hidden mysteries of nature a girl has reached the age of eighteen ; a young man that of twenty-one they ha\e lived at home traveled a little pursued their studies ; attended parties and been a good deal in society of other young people ; yet they never took a very deep interest iu anything in particular neither of them ever eared wry much for any other person they meet and lo ! of a sudden all is changed ! each sees the other in a dif ferent light from what any other was seen in ; the world seems changed life itself seems changed their whole being is chang be like what it was again nevermore love is often as sudden as this but not always sometimes it is of very slow growth persons have know each other foi years and been mnch in each other's society and been intimate all this time but never thinking of a tie stronger than friendship when some incident or event — a tempor ary parting or the intervention between them of a third person friend or stranger reveals to ihem for the first time the great truth that they are mutually in love vet this love springing up gradually and imperceptibly is no less mysterious and unfathomable than that which is sud den and at first sight it is not mere friendship grown strong it is a more absorbing more violent more uncontrollable sentiment whether a person can fall in love more than once is a mooted question some people appear to fall in love many times it is not unusual to see widowers who marry again and seem to love the second wife as well as the lirst make no expense but do good toothers or yourself that is waste nothing uncertainty of wj.hes i respect the man says goethe who knows dis tinctly what he wishes the greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims they have undertaken to build a tower and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary for a good fence wall it is an exact description of most men's strivings every man undertakes to build his tower and no one counts the cost ways to success over fifty years ago a youth working on a farm asked his father to give him money enough to buy a gun the old man could not spare it but the boy noth ing daunted found an old piece of irou about the place and in course of time contrived to make a gun-barrel out of it with the very meagre facilities afforded by a country blacksmith's shop he bad not the materials to make a lock and stock so he walked to the nearest town and traded for the necessary attach ments and was encouraged by the smith for having made so good a shooter this give him ambition to make another so he went to cutting oil grindstones from the native rock to raise money for gun ma terials in a shod time there was a con siderable demand for guns of this make during the french war with prussia he was called ujio:i to furnish guns for the army and i:i 1 s than

with things to know thing but to learn how to think how to devise how to plan how if a thing cannot be done in one way it may be accomplished in another to spare no pains or labor or efforts to bring
