It was altogether a bewitching face which John C'tish�oltu gazel upon as his young wife turned toward him. He had never been able to resist the power of her beauty, never since he had first met her, five years betters—a &most, dainty girl of 16 years. She had been hie wife now fur four years, and nut nos shit less charming had abs grown itt his eyes Maes the day he brought her, • lovely bride to their handsome uew house iu the city. Aud to the fond husband's mind then seem- ed &leays to dwell in the depths of her luminous eyes an expression recognized only by himself. An expression causing a ,ague conviction that way down be- neath the pleasing softness of their bright gleam then was hidden an under current of power, of womanly strength, wkich might manifest itself upon oc- casion.

Fur when the little Helen had met har un• recognized toss, an iudulgeut old grand- father had taken her to his comfortaLle home, and with • motherly housekeeper to pet and can for her, the little girl had budded into maidenhood and blus- somed into early womanhood without having known a serious anxiety or being brought face to face with any of the sterner lessons of life. Then John Cbiabolm had come to the tillage one day, and although other ad- mirer had tried without success to sin the favor of the beautiful girl, there was about this fine looking gentleman. with bis grave, kindly face and ten years of superior age, something which had speed- ily attracted the flower like Helen.

Nevar before had John Chisholm felt as thoroughly miserable on Isaviug,home tor tits business ss he did that moraine, and events seem to conspire to increase rather than ease his mental disquietude. At market he met his minister, Dr. Priem. and the provision dealer was half banteringly advising the reverent gentle- men to engage his Christmas turkey. It was only two weeks, he argued, before it would arrive, and turkeys might be scarce by that time. The answer of the good man west• John Chisholm to the heart. /'1 **pet no turkey dinners this year, he tis d; an inconvenient expense in the way of sickness has to to met, sod now that I can say I owe nu men any- thing at the close of the year —except to love all—there is nt: money left for luxuries. But then, be added cheerily, I thank God we are all well and need no margin for luxuries." Then, on leaving the market, bfr. Chisholm ene,uutered the nearest re- lative he had in the world,Uuele Timothy Chisholm a luckless old man who was forever bewailing tis hard, unjust fate.
