All that day she only moved from her
work to prepare their simple meals, or wait
upon the helpless bat not selfish invalid,
who, bat for the eyes of watchful love ever
bent upon her, would have striven painfully
to perform many a little duty for herself,
rather than tax those willing hands, always

those rough, untutored men, gazing upward
ou her pale, calm face, nud listening to Ler
gentle tones, felt a sort of superstitious re
verence in their hearts, as though there was
a blessing in that kiudly greeting which
boded of good.
The widow noticed, with that quick sight
edness of affection which even the very
blind seem gifted with in the presence of
those they love, that her child looked, if
possible, a thought paler than usual ; and
for all the bright smile that mother's eve'y
time, Alice, feeling conscious of her gaze,
looked up from her work, marked how wear
ily the heavy eye lids dropped over the ach
ing eyes ; and yet she never dreamed of the
deception which had been practiced in love
to soothe and allay hor fond anxiety ; and
the girl was well content that it shouid he so.
It so happened that about noon, as she sat
spinning in the cottage porch, the new land
lord passed that way on horseback, and was
struck with her gad and wearied looks ; for,
of late, she had indeed toiled far beyond her
strength, nnd this additional fatigue was
almost teo much for her. But still that
stern man said within himself: .It is ever
thus with the poor ; they work hard when
actually obliged to do so, and it is a just
punishment for their improvidence anJ idle
ness at other times And yet,’ lie added, a
moment after, as he turned his horse's bead,
half-lingeringly, .she is very young too.’
Alice looked up at the sound of retreat
ing footsteps, but too late for her to catch
that half-relenting glance, or it might have
encouraged her to ask an extention of the
time allotted her ; ay, even if it were but
one single day ! bnt be bad passed ou ere
the profound silence of that little chamber.
And now the morning broke again over the
earth, and, their mission performed, they
have sped away to their bright home rejoio->
ingly.
Alice awoke trembling from her long and
‘refreshing slumber, thinking bow sbe must
work doubly hard to redeem those lost hours.
She drew her wheel toward her—she looked
wildly at it, rubbing her eyes to bo sure she
was not still dreaming, and then gazed tu-
round the quiet apartment where all re
mained just as she had left it; but tbe task/
—the heavy task for which she had murksd X
out fuur more weary days and nights of toil :
and feared, even then, not barring time *-
nougli to complete it—lay ready finished bo- '
fore her! But, after a little time, tbe girt -
ceasing to wonder, or remembering to when*
she had prayed on the previous night, gui
ded by an unerring instinct, knelt down
and poured oat her full heart is B gush of -
prayerful thanksgiving to Heaven. Ami WV
can almost fancy the angels standing a lit
tle way off, smiliog upon each ether and SB .
her, even as they had done bemre, and re

hour tbe widow and her good and pious child
never a kn?w want again. It may be that
