The old gray house, perched upon its hill,utigltt be a dreary pluce in bleak weather, but in these sultry days its breezy situation we: all that eould he desired. The pines stem d up tall and black against the cloudless sky, and the ground beneath them was strewn with cones and dry branches. To reach the house one had to ascend a winding path cut in the hillside, end irunniug in and out among the pines.

A Story of Our Inn" Life. BY SARAH DOUDSEY LITTLE DURHAM, Co. Grey, AUGUST 28, 1879. Tea wee randy in e bare-looking room duWu-smu; but on one side of the epon- mont wee almost “led by e bay-window, no one complained the: there were no pio~ lures on the walls. Outside their was . glory of color, and n breadth of light and ‘depth, of shade, that more than compensat- l ed for the poverty within. When the meal was over Mrs. Aspen sent her husband and Edna out to enjoy the evening air. while she busieil herself in'ummeking the little luggage which theyhad brought along with l .hem. The next ht-Saturday-want by in dreamy commit. While Mr. Aspen was out fL'uing, Eda. at under the pimsa, W. Wong and tending by turns, and the cur- utu‘s acme wile plied her needle. She looked up sometimes at her young friends thoughtful face, and then her mind went luck to the days when she had watched the progress of her intimacy with Mr. Vale. Tl 9y descended e rude pathw'ey leading firm the back of the house to the chalky road below, and then began to toil slowly up the-steep ascent that led to the church. It stood upon the Inuit of e hill; the churchyard was I aorta of ten-Mel. laid out with shingled'patlis. and were planted with sombre trees that were now outing long shadows upon the simple monuments and smooth grass. After Ulf en hour's lingering here they agnin mounted the lib. tie zigzag path, and Edna recognized her clmmpcr window framed in clusters of dark ivy.£§Abuut seven feet below the flat roof of a little outbuilding, prolmbly used for storing fuel. "I suppose that is all over now," thought the good woman, with a sigh, "I am very sorry ; ltow 1iitte. one expected that he would disappoint us "all I I dare say he is quite lost to us in that great London world" Clement Vale was in both these minds [ at the same moment. Edna‘s book lay un- heedcd in her lap ; she was gazing between the straight stems of the pines over the ter. tile country, asleep in the summer sun. ILul he read the book which the critics praised so highly ? And did he iiud in it any traces of the days of bygone compan- ionship ? And then she fell to wondering why they hm] been so utterly paried--why One who doesall things wall had not held Clement Vale with a strong hand. and kept him from turning aside into foolish ways." In spite of all her strength and courage- and she had both these gifts in full mens- urs-Edna', heart was still aching for he: lust friend. She would have been no true woman if success coulJ have entirely filled up the gap in her life, nor could she cease to sutfer because she was a follower of Christ, and had His iu1mutability to lean upon. Some day, she knew, all things would he made clear ; but she waited, in patient sorrow, for that day. _ _ to be enclosed in I grant aisle of wooded brat. 816130 uter glow vs: {am All over with thick cope": l mm. of w“, green in the distal“. shsding into velvety lack, and hero and there p.litt, into u lighter tint.

A goodly number of farmers Ind laborers and their tuniliei, were ascending the ten-Iced grave yard and entering (he low arch of the church door. ' It was a. very now looking little church built in an antique style. Within it was c 'ul and sluuiy--not to any dark-bat the diumess ot the stained glas- wes pleasant after the glaring shunshiue. and, unlike too many country churches. it was beautifully kept and cared for.

Mr. Vale preached a short sermon, but before It came to I close the low growl of distant thunder was dis. tinctly heard. This was enough to set Mrs, Aspcn's agitated nerves quivering again i-- she had Ln unconquoruhlo terror of, thunder storms, and Edna felt the trembling hand seek hers. While the last hymn was be- ing snug, and the solemn pods were com- ing nearer. they left tho church with the utmost quietness, and came out into the light of the stormy evening. The rom- of the wind through the pines was like the rush of waves on a. shingly bench. and when they reached the house the strong blast drove them in before it, blowing the old 1toustskeeper's apron over her face, and then violently resisting her attempts to shut the door again. CHAPTER 'rkYrr.-rtrr. WIND mu mp " ALL. That was I night cng to be remembered J nut before bed-time them no I lull which made Mr. Aspen phoobplaooh hi: wife's suggestion that they should nil sit up till morning. During thisinternl of trench- erons calm they betook themselves to their chambers ; Bat no sooner had Edna laid her head on the pillow than the wind woke up again with re-doublad fury. With . roar and a serth it rushed at the walls anti bellowed down the chimney until her nerves could stand in no longer. "Mr. Vale in very much chm." the said; 1mwesraawhimlookaa In did to. day.

She drew up the window blind, and stood looking out upon the wild scene, thinking of all the fearful legen is she had heard or read of storms like this. Such a. hurricane might hive been raised by that terrible Little Muster who was one of Sintmm's compan- ions p-on such a night old Norma might have chanted her spells. And then. In- stond of dwelling on wicrd "orieslike Gout her mind rested on One who "in the fourth watch of a windy night came walking on the sea. saying, “It is I, be not druid." There were fe w pauues now; the dark pines swayed to and fro like reeds ; then with a great snap and a crash the tallest of them gave way, and went down headlong. These trees did not stand close to the house but grew on a slope below it, and between them wound the rugged footpath which de. seended to the road. Edna shuddered on she remembered how the bought had cranked " she chmbed the hillside only I few hum ago. After the {all of the pine there was un- otber lull, which lasted long enough fur Edna to hope that the storm had done it. worst.

A Itnngo doctor was doing something to her um and shoulder, and main she found strength eriough to cry ont sharply. In the midst oi this infeuse suffering“ was l com- fort to feet Mrs. Aspen near her. holding her fnjurad hand. Mrs, Aspen, like many other nervous women, was always good at an emergency. Let there be arttsl demand tor strotctls and courage, and she was always able and ready to meet it. She was one of those people who ily from a mouse and trout a lion. "hm I very much hurt T' asked Edna. when the doctor had done his work, and she was placed comforta. bly on the pil. lows. _ Edna thought within herself that this wr F bed enough. She asked no other qunstious however. but obedienlly swallowed a com- posing draught which was brought to INT, and lay still, litPenintt to the murmurs of the wind. The opiate began to “he "eiteet, an in spite of pain she sank into I profound Somebody had come to her rescue i-- strong Inna: threw aside that crushing weight, and strong hand- lifted her up. But the pain of being moved was more than the could bear. and then she came to n merciful uneonseiousnoss. She woke up to life once again. and had a. vague ides that she was being carried down the hill, with the Wind singing in her ears. But oblivion came back before she realized any- thing. At lturt-MUr what seemed u long period of darkness, she became distinctly aware that she was lying on a bed in an unfamiliar room, and that two or three candles were burning on . table by her side. "You have nbroken arm and a. bruised shoulder, but nothing worse." When the awoke it wn bright morning. The white blind caught. the flioketing shadows of lawn ; than were plenum sounds out of doors; a. entitling of poultry and lowing of kin. mid of the neighborhood of a farm-yon]. “We are all safe, my dear, thank God," said her friend's voice. AI her dreamy eyes been». more nevus- tomed to the room, Edna found in it one two things that surmised hen There were several books, which her practised glance knew by their bindings So he by no meme light reuing;--oue, she felt sure, was a Greek Testament. There was I leather portmeuteeu; in one corner stood I huh box; behind the door hung u long black cont.
