She looked up, the lady to whom these words were addressed, in a way which showed that they had struck and hurt her, Sks was scalloping a child's skin, and he nejdle-woik followed her rapid lingers along the flannel like a snowy loam; bat now the work fell, unhetded, to the floor. "-Ah, John, has ii come to thai?" skd Mary, the wife ol John Malcolm; and soil bloom in her cbetks vanished svtv eotl tho woias were epj en wiio kind o geap as though just benea h t.em lay a mighty swell und rush ollsslir.gs lnat n,gU ifliie powered her voioe. "Yes, Mary, ii tattU coma. God knows I've a ruggled aariwid as man could to weather the storm, und 1 could have dene it too, if thM Western houtts hudu'i gone under. But they'll carry us with it." I ,M' realise it yet. Jhn," she snid, loittrug at htm in a lialt-bewilderrd. Lalf tri,tV4iened why tha'- was pitiful to see; 'he Wk for the moment hud half stunned her. "Oh, Mary, it was hardest for your rekel" and the oids came in that sba p groan which is terrible to hear Irom th lips of a strong man. The tones roused her at O' ce into a lull coLsciousness ol wbalhad belal en them, and of the part she muit bear in it, ' Don't, John don't tBke it ao hard," her voice struggling up through a sub into a note of brave cheer. ulnesa, and ber lijs fashioning a smile, which, though wen at first you leet certain would growstroog. er and brighter all the time, just as you feel tbf aweet promiaeoi the day wlen the first faint aunbeama a ruggle weakiy out 01 the morning's miat. "1 ouuld have borne np, Mary, if it had'nt been for you aid tne children, but that thought cut to the core it's more than I can bear." And or ti.e first lime the young ife and mo her heatd a long sob from ibe lip of ber husband, as he boed down on the arm of bis ohair. Tne pride of his man hood gave a -ay, at last, anu John Malcolm wept like a little child. Then the woman's heart, t is wc man's power to cheer.and com ort.and strength n, roused themselves; the waves went over ber but one moment, an J then Mary Malcolm forgot herself, and roue up to the height of her true womanhood to tliecx-u tation of selfnsacriGco. "John," said the tort. bravo vice. don't ever say that again. Let everything else fail.the heart of yo'-ir wife never will," And now abe had come clone to him and lie felt her small arras.atnut hii nock, and her head lav on his thoulJer, as tender, as confiding as in their days of brightest prosperity. And all through the d-v he hd been looking forward to this hour and ihrink'ng away from it;nnd once or tw:ce Go I for give himl he had glanced ont of his of-fico window to the river, which rolled its d-rk, sullen waters in he oistanco, and a fieroa temptat on had rushed over him, to d op eytry hing and- hurry out there and bury all his pain end srguiah under the dark, crumpled theel of water. But John, in his secret (lit-tress, knew that ibis tcmptRiun was the voice of the devil euteiing info his soul; but i o was a man who feared God and kept his com iiinndmenls he put the temptation aside. The young husband hnd not doubted liia wile's heart lor a moment; Let he expected to see her s;ncken almost to tLe eaith, with the fi.st livings of the uin of the bou:e in which he was the heaviest parinsi'.

' Ah, Mary.my wife," said ll r crrc'i.sv.! "I thought when I came into my bouse, an hour a 0, that I wan a ruined man, I feei nw as though I whs a very rich one." "Ruined, Pith me fctd lhe children, John," aud now there was som fain', re proach in hsr vcice; byt clung closer o him. "but, Mary ycor child, ycu don't inow what it is to be poor, to give up fO much of r.r..ve and luxury, to wi.ich you've been accuaiomed." "Yuu any that, Jl n, before ycu've ritd me, uud son what springs ot courage i nd powirs of sell sacrifice theie are ia my i aturo." Tbo noble word had a Siting tmpfcesif in ti e sweet smile in the steadiast, dawn' less tones. "But wo shall have to give up the house, Mery." "We',1, wo c tn feel just u h ppy in a Msallercne.

Heating tnese woids, John Malcolm locked at his v fe; but he did not say then what was in his heart-a thanksgiving to God for the angel He had sent to walk with him. He toi k her hand aud held it close in his, while he told her of a temptation which had beset him before the tail ure of I is house b came cenain a tempt ation by yielding o which he ciu'd hve suvid himnelf tiom failure. Bui it mus' have been by diehonest means, by ink ing adhntHge of others in his power-in abort, by a fraud, Which, though oiiin' laws never cou d reach, Gcd'a d d, with that e'einal, "Doun o others a ytWjuld 'hey should do unto you." "Oh, thank ' odl thank God you were delivered from this e i.l I had rather you should go down to your grave without a dollar than have committed this sin," said Mary Malcolm and the tears were biigtil in her blue eyes. And afterward there fell a little silence betwixt those two, hutbar.d and wife. It was broken by the latter. She looked up in the man's face, and he.- lit le finger, sifted themselves through the dark hair that bad no shocks of gray, and her look, bright, gratelul. loving, touched and covered a gieat deal. "What is it. Mary?" "I was th'nking John, how much better riff to day I am than thousands of wives throughout the land. How many there are who sit in their lone! homes, wearing the flow hour away with hopes and tears frr the hu bands ho have none to the war, and whose dreams at night are filled wi b visions of battle fields, where the one beloved face lies white and ghact ly on the sodden grass, with no hand to iff r the last otio of cold wa er, no ear to oatch the last, low word. Ab, John, my eyes have never searched, as so many es- ger eyes do,!or Your iiiiinc among the liatj of the dmid or wounileJ.anJ 'fi!id' -m a word to thank God for, when I ilm.k ol that." Sbe was crying now she, the broken merchant's wife crying for jiy. "Mary," said John Malcolm, ''I n-.ivcr thought of all this, never or.co thanl ed God ior it. through this day that has been the darkest and brigutes! of my lifo; for out of the thick cloud has its hlewed light ahined " And after ahilc their talk wen! ft; fl' the practical matters r,nd uses which uo neaily concerned them. t'uo retiencling their expenses, tho selling the ilirniture at once, nnd ettiling thcuuelvta in th cottage, as Mary called it.always fpeaking tho word with a tone which gave it n nweP flavour of htm?, I can get u cleikehip, an ' we eitn con 'rive to live cn a email salary nuiil the war ia over, which God granf be not long, and afterward I i-hill. doub ling fee rny wy e'ear into business ajjiim.
