Just before It was completed, Nellio'. brother, came from school, and pausing at tho half-opened door, Willio whispered to Charlie, "I gue.. we've got company for mother', .lldressrd up!" It was with mingled emotions of pleasuro .nd pain that Mrs. Thornton observed hor children were unusually docilo and obedient, has hastening - tening hastening to perform their evening duties without even being reminded of them. Children are natural and unaffected lovers of the beautiful, and their intuitive percep tions will not often sutler from the com. parison with opinions of mature wordly wisdom. It was with a new fueling of admiration that these children now looked upon their mother, and seemed to consiJ. er it a privilege, to do something for her It was, "Let me pet the kindlings;" "I will make tho fire' and "May I fill the t akettlet" instead of, a was sometimes the esseNeedI do it!"M don't want to," and "Why can't Willie!" Nellie was too amull to render much assistance, but she often turned from her frolic with the kitten, to look at her moth er, and utter aome childish remarks of Joy and love. At Inst the clock struck the hour when Mr. Thornton was expected, and his wife proceeded to luy the tiibla with the usual care, and to place thereon bovctrI choice viAndd of which she knew he waa p.rtic ularly fond Meanwhile let u form the acquaintance of tho absent husband and father; whom we find in tho neighboring lown just cum- f ileting the d iy' traffic.

Ho recognl tea au old frUiiid aad exclaims: "Georgu Morton, I. it you!" The greeting la mu tuully cordial; they were friends in tlieir boyhood and early youth, but since Mr. Morton had beeo practicing law in a dis distant - tant distant city, they have aeldom met, and this ia no place to exchange their many ques questions - tions questions and answers. Mr. Thornton's line span of horses and light 'democrat' arc atanding near by, and it needed but little persuasion to induce Mr. Morton to accom pany hi. friend to hi home which he had never visited.
