Mark sdvaticed, snd stood in silence until his employer looked wp. ' Why, Mark, you look ill, he exclaimed What is the matter ! Sit down, sit down.' ' I am ill, sir,' answered the young man slowly--ill in mind. I have committed a great sin, and have come to you $0 confess it.' And then, in brinf; eletr words, he told all--his first false step and its conlequences his teniptation and his fall. Mr. Morton listened irl silence. He was a kind hearted, upright man; and while his sense of honor was shocked at the story of Mark's wrong doings, his heart recognis- ed the inherent mnoblemess in the young man's character which had led him to con- fess his crime. He longed to speak to him words of comfort, but neverthelss he deem- ed it best that he should suffer yet a while longer, in order that the remembrance of those dark hours of sorrow and humilia- tion might never fade away. ¢ Mark,' he said, 'I need not say how shocked and grieved 1 am--you know all that.

As for Mark, they had thought him dead at first, but Mr. Morton, sent for in, all haste, had conveyed himto his own house, and called his wavering spirit back to life again. Mark's eyes brightened as he heard this story. "Then the robbers got nothing? he asked. ¢Not a dollar, thanks to your bravery.' ¢ Thank heaven for that | I have atoned my sin.' - ' You have, indeed, my dear boy,' was the earnest reply ; 'and here is jour re- ward. Take it, for now you are worthy of it.' He dew his blushing daughter from behind the curtains which had up to this mement concealed her from Mark's view, and placed her hand in the thin emaciated one of her lover. "I told her all, Mark, but she never faltered in her love. Take her ; you are worthy of each other. You have each passed through the fyrnate of afliction and have comeforth purer and nobler."
