Sho was also a high lompcrcd woman, though with a natural kind heart, and she seized Agnes by the shoulder and shook her severely, at tho same time uttering reproaches, "Cnreless child,” sho Bald angrily ; "Why did you not walk more carefully? and what were you doing, Charlie, not to seize it in time to prevent its fall ?

YnnVe that night. j When lie wont up to hod, ho could i plainly hoar tho sobs of Agnes, who j lay on her little hod in the next rooim Sever bail ho felt so co’wardly ns lie did then; he undressed, and laid down in his white, soft trundle,—significant of childhood and innecense, but to him then a very bed of thorns; he looked up at the bright twinkling stars, that seemed to know Ilia secret, and wop- tiered if his Undo Harry was there, and did lie know—did lie know,—but if lie did not, surely God did. And Agnes alone ih her darkness and solitude lay, with her face buried in the pillow, and wished, 0, so eager ly, that she had a mother to uofrie and soothe her, and forgive her fault, and touch lip and brow, with a loving ca ress; that would lake all the pain out of her heart: Iler aunt, Mrs. Weston, was kind to her, and even affectionate, but their is a nvothcr-love. horn of fear and hope and anguish, that no other affection can counterfeit, and it was for this tho sad heart of little Agnes yearned! In a day or two Mrs. Weston had forgotten all about the vase, and taken Agnes into her favor again, hut the child herself wondered if that good and gentlo brother Harry, of whom she had heard her aunt speak so much, would like to have seen tlie.bittor tears she shed on account of it, and she com forted l\cr6olf with tlio thought lliat if he knew aught of it he kiiQ*v nil. It was strange, but both Mr. nml Mrs. Weston noticed, soon aftor this, a change in Chsrlic; ho became fretful and impatient with his cousin, and in deed would scarcely play with her at all, when before tiic'y had been the best of friends, and she left alone in hor bewildering darkness, with only the occasional companionship of her aunt and other friends, became sad and drooping, loo. Ono day Mr. Weston camo in to tea with a very thoughtful couuteiianco; 1m had that day received a letter from a relative of Agues' father, who told him of the arrival of a Celohratoil ocu-, list in that city, and requested him to bring the child thoro and, have a trial made to restore her sight. It was a very important matter, and lie talked it over with his wife in the absence of the children. .-“It will do Chnrllo good, too,” he said; “ to take a trip to the city, and wo will all 'accompany Agnos nml do what wo cau for her in this trial which, lifter nil, M'ayjeave tho poor child in as great darkness ns aver." “I hope not,” said Mrs. Weston; “she is such a delicate, sensitive child, that 1 should fcnV tho result, if aim was disappointed, and I could almost as easily part with Charlio aB Agnes now.” And Mrs. Weston spoke truly, but alas, sho did not tell Agnos so. Sho did not know how tho tendor heart of the child hungered after logjng words and carosBos, such as she know a moth er could give.» „ “ I have thought since,” said Airs. Weston, “that perhaps I was too harsh with Agnes when sho broke that vase prior Harry gayo me. I am not sure that I should have found fault with her at all, sinco she could not see, but sho gentle, silbllilod air quite at variance with Ida former boyish spirit.

Weston was loo much nlfcctcd to speak; hut when it cnine Charlie's turn to kiss his little cousin, lie astonished, and alarmed them all by a series of incoherent shrieks, amid which tho words “I did it," “I did it,” were alone discernible. When lid grow alittlo calmer, he said “ 1 broko tiio vase, Agnes," nud then stood tip ns if to receive sentence. “I know you did," sho answered, meekly, “and 1 felt so sorry for you.” “Sorry for me I” reiterated Charlie, in nmnzemcnt: “why I wasn’t punish ed." “ Oil yes, you were, Charlie," sho said; “you know vou wero never-so happy after, and Goil had seen it all, and you couldn’t forget thati r ’ Charlie’s parents stood by, grioved and surprised; hut Charlio liimscli,' felt better, now that nil knew it, and he parted from Agnes happier than he had been for a long time. “ How did it happen ?” asked Mr. Weston, when they Wero alone. "I was going to frighten her as she came in that night, mid held my^arms out, ami knocked the vaco down, just ns she got there, and I thought you would not mind so much if it was Ag nes did it.” “it was a mean, cowardly act,” said Mr. Weston, sternly. And Charlie felt that it was. Little Agnes did not die; nor, I am sorry to say. did she recover tho entire use of her sight. Fur along tinm a glimmerof light wasall that was vouch safed her; hut alter years' of patient waiting and suffering she could seo to read or sew for a lew moments at n time: could discern th’e-flowers ami grass and blue skies, and was satisfied, knowing full well tho gift denied here in its fullness would be hers in the land where no night cometh, and darkness is not. Charlie was very kind to his cousin after that, and it seemed ns if they were all drawn nearer tb eaeli oilier, for Mrs. Weston could not forget that Charlie had let Agnes suffer.for his fault. He never alluded to it in any way afler Hint day on which he con fessed it, except once, when he said, “I wonder how you felt, A gnes, when you staid all that evening alone in your room, and what 3 011 were doing to pass time away.” “I was praying for you,” she answer ed, simply.
