Brightly glowed the fire in the polish
et^ grate, and brilliant flushed the light
frt in a dozen gosjets, throwing through
crimsoned cirrtairred windows a rich
glow upon the snow covered pavement
without ; speaking to the wcqryheart
ed, toilworu children of poverty passing
by to their cheerless home, of warmth
and comfort and blessings which might
never he theirs,
Within that curtained room’ where
naught seemed wanting of beauty or
luxury, a young girl stood behind the
drapery, gazing out into the stormy,
night, and upping her little foot impat¬
iently on ihe door, whih# an expression
of angry discontent nhuJowed a mce
perfect in its outline, and coloring m ar¬
ring sadly iis otherwise exquisite loveli
ness.
Tho snow fell thick and fast and but
few pedestriuus were abroad ; none but
those who were compelled by neccsity
to brave the chilling blast aud the blind¬
ing storm.
Suddenly, with » gesture of vexation

‘Why surely, Elia, you are not going
out in this tempest Y said a noble look¬
ing silverhaircd man who entered the
room, just in time to catci. i**nr word-.
‘Indeed, but 1 “>»>, Guardy, Doctor
Huntor is coming for me to go to Mis.
Eriston’s ball, and 1 would not miss it
for the world. I am determined to
crown me reigning belle of the season,
by bringing him to my feet if possible
before another day dawns' He is the
best match in ihe city, and I mean to
secure him at once* The dir Is are cra¬
zy about him, and 1 long to triumph
over them.’
‘You speak confidently,’ said
Revere,‘so 1 shail expect to wake up •
iu the small hours ot the morning with I
tidings of success.’ j
Turn we now to unotber home, the
abode of poverty, where Mary Gray,
the young seamstress, is bending ever
her wor&, a richly ombroidered dress,
whose silver lillies of the valley, with
richly tinteu t>lue btdls, are a¥HAtlcally
wrought to graceful patterns on a

waiting—the dress in which she expect¬

Very lovely is Mary Gray, though no

her sparkling eyes to his face, but drop

“Mamma has had nothing to eat to
day, doctor,’broke in Lucy,‘and sister
and/hav’nt had anything either but dry
bread, but sister is going to get some
money tonight.
•Hush ! Lucy., said Mary, while a
painful look ol embarrassment fell upon
tier before bright countenance. ‘Doc¬
tor excuse her, she taUs too fast.
Ah anxious inquiring gaze rested on
her, and in a voice trembling with emo¬
tion, the doctor xciaimed :
id ary is it indeed so.’
She bent her head iu assent; but after a
moment of silence, found voice to
say :
‘1 shall have money to-night.
Giving but a glance at his patient,
whose pale face spoke of suffering and
wan', even iu sleep, he left hastily.—
And Mary folding her work, am! careful¬
ly placing at her mother’s side the med¬
icine she might need on waking, at
the same time charging little Lucy
to stay by her in her absence, she started
out in the fierce storm to carry the dress
to the heiess, who sat chafing at her de
lay
Mary’s father had once been rich,but
crushed by adversity, he died and
left his family poor, and his wife an in¬
valid.
Dr. Hunter had known them in their
days of prosperity, aud on his return
from the continent, a month previous to
our story, had sought them out ami of¬
fered his services gratuitously—an of¬
fer gratefully accepted. He knew they
were poor, hut never till Lucy’s revela¬
tion had he dreamed of the extent of
that poverty. Her lovelim t,,uJ made
deep inq.res«ioii on his heart, when
he left, them that night, it was with the
dcr his protecting love, from ail life’s
and sorrows,
It was indeed a fierce storm that Ma
ry was to encounter on her way to Mr.
Revere’* splendid mansion, and her pro
gross wan nccessarrily slow.
As chilled by the stinging blast, and
blinded by the snow, she staggered up
the steps of the handsome mansion and
rang the bell, a sleigh dashed up to the
door, and when it was opened to the
girl* a gentleman alighted nnd ran
up, lightly up, passing in ere it
was closed ami saying to tho ser
van! :
I will wait for Miss Ella in the draw
i»»g tootin’ « ,
Mary started; She knew the voice of
Dc. Hunter, and not wishing to be re
cognized, drew her hood closely around
her luce.
“Poor girl, what a night for a woman
to Tie abroad,’ said the doctor.
“He little dt earned who he was pity
ing.
Directad by the servant., Mary tap
ped lightly at the door of the opposite
room. It was opened by Eda Raymond
jn a towering rage, iter face distroyed by
passion.
*8o you have come at lasc,* she rx
claimed, augriiv ; *u\o hours behind

poor vt t.ttgS* to have that one virtue

*1 am sorry I have disappointed
Miss Raymond. I have sat up
nights until daybreak to complete it in
time, but ny mother has been very ill
an 1 needed my care, which must be my
excuse.

O ne *’
‘Belicve me, I regret it, butit was im
possible for me to be earlier You will
oblige me, as I am in haste, if you will
now pay me for it and let me go.
‘Pay you, indeed ! Not I. I’ll pun

you to make promises and break them,
Just as many hours as you have kept
waiting for my dress, so many
days will I keep you out of your mou

‘Oh, Miss Raymond, you will not, you
cauuot be so cruel ! My Mother is ill
and needs nourishment, mp little sister
is starving ; and I depend on this tweu

their wants. I must have the mon
ey.
‘Not from me,’ said Elia with a taunt¬
ing laugh, as she shut the door in her
face, a id turned into the room to admire
the exquisite garment.
Faint from want of food, and crush
by her disappointment, Mary leit
the abode of wealth, not knowing
where to look for help in her time of
trouble. On the pavement,still blight
with the rich tint of tho crimson cur¬
tains, she slipped and fell insensible.—
Strong arms raised 'her tenderly aud
lificdMicr info the fur-lined sleigh at
the door, and swiftly it sped homeward.
Her lit of insensibility produced by ex¬
haustion and aiatioss, was a long one,
and when she awoke to consciousness,
warmth and light were arouud her—
while at the table, on which was spread
a comfortable meal, sat famished little
Lucy, eating to her heart’s content—
her head was pillowed on the breast ol
Dr. Hunter, his arms enfolding her.—
Blushiiigly she sought to withdraw
from his embrace, but bending over
lier he whispered :
*No, darling, lie still, close to my
heart, sheltered by my love. No more
poverty, no more sorrow, if you will
only give me the right to shelter you
from it, dear one.
Trembling with happiness unspeak¬
able, Mary hid her face against his
shoulder ; but gently turning it towards
he looked down into the depths of her
wondt - full eyes, and reading there how
fully his love was returned, pressed a
fervent kiss upon her lips, and rising
led her to her mother, for her consent
to, and blessing on their union.
The clock struck ten, aud the doctor
said, with a glance at Mary .*
T must leave you now, to keep my
appointment with the heiress. She
nui 9 t display tny darling’s work at the
ball to-night, or die ot vexation.’
The expectant fair one waited half
an hour for the tardy escort, but no
loo& of anger ou her beautiful face, uo
discordant notes marred the harmony of
tho sweet tones with which she chided
Dr. Hunter for his want of punctual
ity.
It was just one month since the
night of Mrs. Kristen’s ball. In that
rime Dr. Hauler had bought and furn¬
ished au elegant residence ou Fifth Ave¬
nue. He was weary of siugle life, he
told his friends, and was preparing a
| I cage for the bird for of his grand choice. Invita
tions were out a house-warm
ing, at which the world would kuovv
, the select bride ol the best mutch iu
the city,
l>ery one fixed their eyes on the
{belie of the season, and was confident
that the charming heiress, to whom of
- late he had been paying marked at ten
tioti, was the envied one.
‘Lie will certainly propose to-nigiit,
Guardy,’ she said to Mr. Revere, as she
\ stood before the glass arranging her
gtaceiul ringlets. ‘You will uoi have
me on your hands much longer.*
‘Disappointed once, Ella,’ he said,
*you may ba again, sii.ll, )ou may
wake me if you come home engaged to
Dr. n- Hunrer’ Huuur.

upon her os she passed with queenly
grace to the reception room, and reach
ed the spot where the host stood with a
Indy beside him in bridal attire ‘love
ly aaa poet’s dream.’
She started and tured pale, but re
covering her sell possession, advanced,
while he holding out his hand, greeted
her as a friend, then leading her gently
forward, presented her,to his bride,
Stupefied, she gazed on tho lace of
Mary Grey, the despised seampstress,
uttered an hysterical shriek,and fainted
away. She had, indeed, met ari uuex
pected rival, and the shock of seeing
the child of poverty elevated to the po¬
sition her ambitious hopes had led her
to bedieve would be her own, w’as too
much, even for pride to conceal.
Mary, ever considerate, came to her
side.
‘It is the heat,’ she said to the inquis¬
itive crowd. ‘Do take her to the con¬
servatory, and leave her with me.*
Need 1 describe the recovery ; the
shame and remorse on one side; the
charity, which thinð no evil, and
forgives all tilings on the other.
The heiress returned home humbled
and saddened, having learned a lesson
that might never bo forgotten.
Sue did not, as may be imagined,
awake her guardian, nor did he wonder
when he read in tbe morning papes of
the surprise Dr. Hunter had prepared
or his friends.

came with its dancing breezes, and
they whispered to the young rose, and
it avvo^e joyously and smiling, lightly
dancing to arid lro in all the loveliuess
of health and youthful innocence.—
T hen came the ardent sun-god, sweep¬
ing from the east, and he smote the
young roso with his scorching rays, and
it tainted. Deserted and almost bro¬
ken hearted, it drooped to the dust in
its loneliness and despair. Now the
gentle breeze, which had been grinbol- home
ingover the seas, pushing on the
bound bnr£, sweeping over hill and
dale, by the neat cottage aud still brook
—turning the old mill, fanning the
brow of the diseased, and frisking the
curls of innocent childhood—came trip¬
ping along her errands of mercy and
love; and when she saw the young rose,
she hastened to £iss it. and fond!) bath¬
ed its forehead in cool, refreshing show¬
ers and the young rose revived, nod
lookedj up and smiled in gratit.udi' to the
breeze; but she hurried quickly away;
her generous task was performed, yet
not without reward ; for she soon per¬
ceived that a delicious fragrance had
been poured on her wings by tho grate¬
ful rose; and the Zind breeze was glad
in heart, and went away singing among
the trees. Thus, true charity, like <he
breeze, gathers fragrance from the
drooping flowers it refreshens, and un
consciouly reaps a reward in tho per¬
formance of its offices of kindness,
which steals on the heart like a rich
perfume, to bless and to cheer.
Artimus Ward, in one of his letters,
thus gave his idea of reorganization :’
I never attempted to reorganize my wife
but once. I shall never attempe it again.
I’d bin to a public dinner, and bad al¬
lowed myself be betrayed into drinkiu*
several people’s healths ; and wishiu* to
mapke’om as robuat as possible, I con¬
tinued drinkin their health until my owu
became affected. Consekens was, I pre¬
sented myself at Betsey’s bedside late
at dight aboutray with considerable licker con
sealed person. I had somehow
got perseshun of a hosewhip on my way
home, aud rememberin’ some cranky ob
servashun of Mrs. Ward’s in the mornin’
I snapt the whip putty lively ami a very
loud voice I said : ‘Betsey you need re~
rcorganizen.’ I have come Betsey,’ I
continued, crackin’ the whip over tho
bed, “I have come to reorganize,
you t”
I dreamed that niite that’s soiuebodjr
had laid a hosewhip over me sev’Yil con
seckootive times : and when I woke up
I found she had. I haint drank much
of anything since ; and if I ever have an¬
other reorganizin’job on hand I shall let
it out.
