Everything had been swept away—every cent. Yet there was one thing that remained within his grasp. His wife held, by her own right, a small farm in the country. It was her birth- place, the old house of ber childhood; and her uncle had secured it to herin such a man- ner that no misfortune of her husband could fall upon it. Lydia begged of her husband to find a home upon that furm. He hesitated awhile, and then consented. He had at first thought of procuring a clerkship, and trying once more to set himself up in business, but the way looked tedious to him—it secmed too hard to gain the place from which he had fallen, and he gave it up. It was too much for his pride to occupy a menial position now, and he turned away trom the great city weary and sick at heart. The heme which Lausen Watkins now re- ceived at his wife’s hands, was in truth a lovely abode. Thefarm wasan excellent one, bearing the choicest fruit, and capable of the mst productive cultivation. The dwelling was a sweet little cottage, surrounded by great elms, with cherry and plum trees in front, while ata little distance, sparkling like silver in the sunbeams, lay alakelet, into which « hundred bubbling brooks poured their crystal tributes. Lydia sold her jewels, and thus she realized enough to purchase a choice stock for the farm besides having h left tv hire a trusty mun to take charge of the grounds.

Mine is a constitution that cannot live in euch a bu- siness. Oh, I would not give up this sweet home for any esteblishment in the city. Ah, . sir, L learned a great lesson when I came here —a lesson of life. I know that I should have been iu my grave had I remained in the city. I did not see it then. but I see it now. At first 1 thought the loss of my property was a ca- lamity; but, sir, it was a bleasing—a blessing in di-guise. Look at us now, and see if we are not happy. And,’ continued Lauson, with increasing animation, ‘ to-morrow morn ing you shall seo my children. You will have to rise carly, if you could hear their sfirst shout of joy, and see their first smile of glad- ness.’” «Thank God, Lydia,’ murmured the old man, as he turued towards his niece, “* your plan has been blessed.”’ Lauson Watkins gazed first at his wife, and then upon her uncle. He was puzsied. His wife caught his eager gaze, and, with a con- vulsive movement, she sprang towards him, d threw her arms about his neck. Ob, forgive me, my husband—forgive me!”’ she uttered, while the tears streamed down her cheeks. * Forgive you'!—for what? What doesthis mean ?’’ gasped the young man, as he disen- gaged his wife’s arms from bis neck. and look- ed into her face. ** Way,” said Adam Langrave, ‘she wants you to forgive her for saving your life. Sit down, Lydia, and I'll tell bim all.” The wife sank into a chair, and then the old mun resumed. “Tl explain the mystery to you ina few moments, see on.

No, no, my love, my angel of life, I have nothing to forgive. I can only bless you with my whole heartand soul. And you, too, my generous friend,’ he added, ex- tending his hand to Langrave, ‘“‘ I must bles you also; I cannot tell you all I feel.”’ That was an evening of joy and thankful- ness. On the next morning, Uncle Langrave was up early, but not early enough to catch the first smile of the children; for he found them coming in from the garden, with their hands tull of flowers for their father and mother. The children—the two eldest—bad a faint recollection of Uncle Langrave, but they soon learned to love him; and so well did he love them, and all else about him, that he deter- mined to make the cottage his home _ Lauson Watkins was once more a rich man, but he did not leave the home where he had to wel! learned the great lesson of life.
