There were Hdnbrioaasprings which an enterpriiiiag dootorhad lately bronsht into notice. Xlie firm of 6(S$3(1^ and Datton maw^aetwHl ambrdUaein lam qnantitiea, from the atont weather-proof fiunily roof down to the daintiest fri^ed toy of a parasoL There were a Guild Hall and a handsome Com Market. There was a Modem Scbool for the boys, and aH^h School for the girls, and a School of Art, and a School of Cookery, and National Schools, and a British School, and a Board School, also chonlias of every height, chapels of every denomination, and iron mission rooms budding out in hopes co be replaced 1^ churches. Like one of the animals which Soologjsts sail radiated, the town was censtaatly stretcUbg out fresh arms along country roads, j|^ livin? and working, and g^ually absorbins the open spaces between. One of these arms was known as St. Ambrose's Road, in right of the church, an inconaplete structure in yellow brick, consisting of handsome chancel, the stump of a tower, and one aisle jnstweatiier-tight and usable, but, by its very aspect, beggging for the com- pletion of the beautiful design that was sus- pended above the alms-box. It was the evening of a summer day which had been very hot. The choir practice was just over, and the boys came out trooping and chattering; very small ones they were for as soon as tiiey began to sing tolerably they were sure to try to get into the choir of tiie old church, which had a foundation that fed, clothed, taught, and finally appren- ticed them. So, though the little fellows were clad in surplices and cassocks, and sat in the chancel for correctness sake, there was a space round the harmonium reserved for the more trustworthy band of girls and young women who came forth next, follow- ed by four or five mechanis.c Behind came the nucleus of the choir â€" a slim, fair-haired youth of twenty a neat, precise, well-trimmed man, closely shaven, with stooping shoulders, at least fifteen years older, with a black poodle at his heels, as well shorn as his master, newly risen from lying outside of the church door; a gentle, somewhat droopini; lady in black, not yet middle-aged and very pretty a small, eager, unformed, black -eyed girl, who could hardly keep back her words for the outside of the church door a tall self-pos- sessed handsome woman, with a fine class!- cal {cast of features and lastly, a brown- faced, wiry hard-working clergyman, with- out an atom of superfluous flesh, but with an air of great energy. " Oh I vicar, where are we to go " was the question so eager te break fourth. " Not te the Crystal Palace, Nuttie. The funds won't bear it. Mr. Dutton says we must spend » little as possible on locomo- tions. " I'm sure I don't care for the Crystal Palace, A trumpery tinsel place, all shams." "Hush, hush, my dear, not so loud," said the quiet lady but Nuttie only wrig- gled her shoulders, though her voice was a trifle lowered. " If it were the British Museum now, or Westminster Abbey." " Or the Alps," chimed in a quieter voice, "ortheUflSzi." "Now, Mr. Dutton, that's not what I want. Our people aren't ready for that, but what they nave let it be reaL Miss Mary, don't you see what I mean " "Rather better than Miss Egremont her- self," said Mr. Dutton. " Well," said the Vicar, interposing in the wordy war, " Mrs. Greenleaf's children hare scarlatina, so we can't go to Horton Bishop^ The choice seems to be between South Beach and Monks Horton." "That's no harm," cried Nuttie; "Mrs. Greenleaf is so patronising 1" " And both that and South Beach are so stale," said the youth. "As if the dear sea could ever be stale," cried the young girL " I thought Monks Horton was forbidden ground," said Miss Mary. " So it was with the last re^nte," said the Vicar "' but now the new people are come I expect great things from tiiem. I hear they ari very friendly." " 1 expect nothing from them," said Nut- tie so sententiously that all her hearers laughed and asked " her exquisite reason," as Mr. Dutton put it. " Lady Kirkaldy and a whole lot of them came into the Sohool of Art." "And didn't appreciate "Head of Anti- nous by Miss Ursula £gremont,"' was the cry that interrupted heri but die wetat on with'dunity unrnflBed â€" " Any thing so fool- ish and inane as their whole talk and all their observations I never heard. " I don't like this style," one of them sud. "Such ugly useless tMnsv 1 I never see anything pretty and neatiy finished such as we used to do. " ' The girl gave it in a tone of mimicry of the nonchidant voice, adding with fresh imita- tion, '"And another £d not approve of drawing from the life â€" models mignt be such strange people."' " My ears were not equally -open to their profanities," said Miss Mary. "I was struck by the good breeding and courtesy of the leader of the party, who, Ithirk, was Lady Kirkaldy herself.' " I saw I I thought she was patronising yon, and my blood boiled 1" cned Nuttie. " Will boiling blood endnie a picnic in the park of so much ignorance, folly, and patronage?" asked Mr. Dutton. " Oh, indeed Mr. Dutton, Nuttie never said that," exclaimed gentie Mrs. ^remont. " Whether it is fuuy worth the doing is the question," said tiie vicar "Grass and shade do not despise," said Miss Maty. "There surely must be some ecdesiasti- ca] remains," said the young man. "And there is a river," added tiie vicar. '*I shall get a stickleback foar my aoqna- rium," cried Nuttie. "We shdl make some discoveries for the Scientific Society. I shall note down every indi^nal creature I see! J say 1 you are sure ft is not a sham waterfall or Temple of Tivoli I" "It would please the cIh^ boys aadQ. F.

The pur which the pai^ had reached had Uimr entrances at the aiijl^ wM ft narrow' gt»vielpa^ UaZing by a tiny grass polt to eaeh. One, whiob was covered with a rich pall of purple clematis, was the home rf Mrs. Egremon^ her aunt, and Nuttie the other, adorned with a Gleire de Dijon rose in seoond bloom, was the abode of Mary Naget, with...ber mother, tiie widow of a naval captain. Further on, with adjoining gardens, was anothw couple of houses, in one of which lived Mr. Dutton in the other lodged tb» youth, Gerard Godfrqr, together with the partner of the principu laedioal man. The opposite neighbours were a master of the Modem School and a scholar. Indeed, the aayingof the vicar, the Bev. FranouSpyers, was, and St. Ambrose's Road was proud of it, that it was a professional place. Every one had something to do either with school or umbrellas, scarcely excepting the doctor and the solicitor, for the former attended the pupils and the latter supplied them. Mr. Dutton was a partner in the umbrella factory, and lived, as the younger folks said, as the old bachelor of the road. Had he not a housekeeper, a poodle, and a cat, and was not his house, witii lovely sill boxes full of flowers in the windows, we neatest of the neat nd did not the the tiny con- servatory over his dining-room window always produce the flowers most needed for favoured ladies. Why, the very daisies never durst lift their heads on his littie lawn, which even bore a French looking- «;la8s globe in the centre. Miss Nugent, or Miss Mary as every one still called her, as her eldest sister's marriage was recent was assistant teacher at the School of Arts, and gave private drawing lessons, so as to aopplement the pension on which her moth- er lived. They idso received girls as board- ers attending the High School. So did Miss Headworth, who had all her life been one of those people who seem con- demned to toil to make up for the errors or disasters of others. First she helped to educate a brother, and soon he had died to leave an orphan daughter to be bred up at her cost. The girl bad married from her first situation but had almost immediately lost her husband at sea, and on this her aunt bad settled at Micklethwayte to make a home for her and her child, at first taking pupils, but when the High School was e t up, changing these into boarders while Mrs. Egremont went out afi daily governess to the children of a family of somewhat higher pretensions. Little Ursula, or Nut- tie, as she was called, according to the local contraction, was like the child of all the " 1%ey never tdl me. annt Urwilft pate oo l« ••^T"" look."

It was holiday-time, and liberties were taken such as were not permissible, when they might have afibrded a bad pre- cedent to the boarders. Therefore, wnen two afternoons later Mary Nugent, return- ing from district visiting, came out into her garden behind the house, she was not soandft- lised to see ft pair of littie black feet under a holland skirt resting on a laural branch, and going a few steps more she beheld a big shady hat, and a pair of littie hands busy witii a pencil and a blank book as Ursula sat on the low wall between the gar- dens, shaded by the laburnum which facil- itated the ascent on her own side. "Oh Mis 4 Mary! Delicious! Come up here 1 You don't know how charming ti^ is. She moved aside so as to leave the ascent â€" by an inverted flower-pot and a laurel branch â€" open to her friend, thus knocking down one of the pile of books which she had taken to the top of the walL Miss Nugent picked it up, "Afarie Sttmrt I Is this your way of studying her?" "Now, you know 'tis holiday time, and volunteer work; besides, she was waiting for you, and I could not help doing this." She held out a hand, which was scarcely needed, and Mary sprang lightly to share her perch upon the wall. " Look here I" " Am I to guess the subject as in the game of historic outlines," said Miss Nus- ent, as the book was laid on- her li^t.

" Exactiy 1 I always feel sure my father must have done sometiiing Uke thii." "Was it so heroic?" said Miss Mary. " You know it was for the hundredth time, and he had no reason to expect any special danger." "Ch, but his mother was waiting, and he had to go. Now, I'll toll yon how it must have Men with my father. You know he sailed away in a yacht before I was' bora, and poor mother never saw him again but I know what happened. There was a ship on fire like the Birkenhead, and the little yacht wait near to pick up the people, and my father called out, like Sir Humnhrey GUbertâ€" " Do not tear. Heaven is as near By water as by land." And the littie yacht was so close when the 'great ship drew up that it got sucked down in the whirlpool, and rescuers and all died a noble death together 1" " Has your motiier been telling you 7' asked Miss Mary. " Oh no 1 she never mentiims him. She does not know. No one does but I am quite sure he died noUy, with iiome to tdl the tale, only the angels to lock on, andtiiit makes it all the finer.

There is some virtue ini almost every vice except hypocriq^. Simplicity of^ chalracter is the natural result of profound thoughto. Politeness has won more viktorys than logick ever has. â€" Josh Billings. Every day should be distinguished by at least one particular act of love. â€" JAivater. There never was any heart tnily great and generous that was not also tender and compassionate. It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable that tests our strength. Advice is like snow the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon and the deeper it sinks into the mind. Reason sometimes misleads us, feeling sometimes misleads us; the wise nuui corrects the one by the other. No man ever got rid of a lie by telling it it is sure to come home sooner or later to hobnob with ite author. Reason and kindness are the yreat promoters of that harmony and hilarity which generate friendship and affection. There are netties everywhere, but smooth green grasses mte more common still. The blue of heaven is larger than the cloud. No one ever had a glimmer of a will to come, but that shining " whosoever" flashed ita world-wide splendor for his opening eyes. â€"F. R. Havergal. Great efforts from great motives is the best definition of a happy life. Ihe easiest labor is burden to him who has no motive for performing it. More is felt than is perceived, and more is perceived than can be interpreted, and love climbs higher with ite lambent flame than art can pile the faggots. Life has no wretehedness equal to an ill- assorted marriase â€" it is the sepulchre of the heart, haunted by ghosts of past affections and hopes gone forever. Every good deed will have its blessing, We need have no fear of losing the rewara if only we make sure to merit it by the virlke of our motive the judiciousness of our effort. Let grace and goodness be tiie princi^l loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends will have an end, whereas that which is founded on true virtue will always continue. Thrare is no power of love so hard to ge and keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh and blood, ^et do the work of a soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no:one thing that love so much needs as a sweet voice to toll what it means uid feels and it is hard to get and keep it in tiie right tone.
