It 'vas no use, the letters danced be - Sore his eyes, the whole werld seemed wavering and uncertain in those days. He laid his book down, and began to think of the great .,trouble which{ was shutting him . in, When the black Weeks first began fordance between him and his. paper, months ago, he had not thought about the ,matter. It was an- noyiug, to be sure, but he must have tared his, eyes too severely. He would work a little less by lamplight—spare them awhile—and he should be all right.. So he had spared them more and more, and yet the specks kept on their, elfin dance ; and now for weeks the conviction had been growing on him slowly that he was going to be blind. He had not told his wife yet, nor could he bear to lay on her shoulders the bur- den of his awful calamity. 0, it •was too and 1 A d yet was it too hard ? Dared he say o ? he, God's minister—who had told then sufferers so many times their char enings were dealt out to them by • thei kind father's hand, and that they shoed count all that brought them near r to Him, as joyous, not grievous? Te , speaking after the manner of this world, his burden seemed greater than he could bear. What could he do— blind, helpleaS man, He must give ,+:p his work ha life—let another take is ministry—sit helpless in the dark. Heaven only knows how long. :Coal he be thus resigned ? Th n soddenly a flash of hope kindled in his sky; here rnight be help for him. This gathering .darkness might be something which science could remove. He would be sure of that, at least, be- fore he told Mary. .And then he be. came feverishly impatient. He must know at once—it seemed to him he could not wait. He oalled his wife and told her,with a Manner he tried hard to make calm, that he was going out of town the next morning on a Tittle busi- ness. She wondered that he was so un- communicative ; it was not like him— but she would not trouble him with any questions. She should understand it all some time, she knew, still she thought there was something stratnge in his way of speaking. The minister strove hard for the mastery of his own spirit, as 'the cars whirled him along the next morning towards the tribunal at which he was to receive his sentence. He tried to think of something else, hut found the effort in vain ; so he said over and over, as simply as a child ope form of words : "Father, whichever way it turns, 0, give me strength to bear it.' Holding fast to this prayer as to an anchor he got out of the cars and went into the street. What a curious mist seemed to surround all things ! The houses looked spectral through it. The very people he met seemed like ghosts. He had not realized his defective vision so much at home, where it came on to him gradually ; and all objects were so familiar. Still, with an effort he could see the signs on the street corners, and find his way. He reached at last the residence of the distinguished occulist for whose verdict he had come. He found the parlor half filled with people waiting like himself. He was asked for his name, and sent in a card on which was, 'Rev. Wm. Spencer, Montclair.' Then he waited his turn. He dared not think how long the time was or what suspense he was in. He just kept his simple child's prayer in his heart, and steadied himself with it. - The time came for him at last, and he followed the boy who summoned him into a little room, .shaded with green furniture, and on a table a vase of flowers. The stillness and the cool air refreshed him. He saw dimly, as t he saw everything that morning, a tall, slight man, with a kind face and' quiet e manner, who addressed him by name, invited him to sit down, and then in- quired. into his symptoms with such' tact and sympathy that he felt as if he t were talking with a friend. At last the doctor asked him to take a seat by the window and have his eyes examined. His heart beat chokingly and he . whispered under his breath : "Thy will, 0 God, be done ; only give me strength.." Dr. Gordon was silent for a moment or two—it seemed ages to Mr. Spencer. Then he said with the tenderest voice, as if he felt to. the uttermost all the pain s he was inflicting : e "I cannot 'give you any hope the malady is incurable. You will net lose yon sight entirely, just yet; but it must come soon.' The minister tried to ask how long it world, where we- have 1 each other. 0, 'God! it?"

Just at the last, when thos who 1eved him;, best stood weepin 3; round his bedside they caught upon hi face the radiance of a light not of thi world. He putout his hands with glad cry— "I see ! I see Out of the dark int the light." And before they could look with w w nder�into each other's faces �h gloryi lid begun to fade, the outstretch In _ ed han s fell heavily, they knew tba the bli d minister was gone, past night d past d , where for him there could b no moi darkness. ng un Ii t on a er tl k d mmel es. : e sp ing t. fix ether go . g rot to • d ace ow t.ose t st t.: sky, wards the st littl: flow ath ,: � ed ; ake 'o for h Mo of fa* s. rr `wi.tful a es fitly ; but t papa i liked so t ; wl y he id at , 1 st, O the �rillia d on him ?" ask otllt the roe 1 at tc !ni hf na le gee or n - 3r, or 11 1s 11 e „ "Not alone, my love,' a passion of grief and pt and i ende ness.

She waited o into the study, and left !! t going abort her usual task full of bitterness. It was haps that they should not minister, but to tell hi make the very first pang by their uuthankfulness lunch. Au hour passed befofl awvv and then she heard Calling her, and went into prepared to sympathize svi u would be before he was blind, but his tongue seemed to cling to the roof of his h T h v w mouth,. and he could only gasp. Dr. Gordon understood, and;answerecl very kindly that it might be a month, possibly two. . He stood up, then to go; He anew all was over. He paid his fee and went out of the house. It seemed to him that things had grown darker since he a went in. He hardly knew how he found . fr way to the cars. It was two holm a past his dinner time, and he was faint of for want of food, but he did not know it. He got to the station somehow, and waited for the train to stop for Mont- clair. AU the way home he kept whispering to himself—'One mouth, possibly; two, as if it was a lesson on the getting py heart of which his life de- pended.' He heard the conductor call out Montolair at last, and got out of the car mechanically. His wife' stood there waiting for him. She had been anxious about him all day. "Oh, William !" she cried, and then she saw his face and stopped.. There was a look on it of one over whom an awful doom is pendiui. ; a white, fined look, that chilled her. She took his arm and they walked silently so home ; when she had taken off her bon- net, he spoke at last : "Mary, come here, and let melook at you. I want to -learn your face by heart." - She came and knelt by him while he took her cheeks between his hands, and studied every lineament. "Are you. going away ?" she asked, as his mysterious gaze began to torture_ her. . "Yes, dear, I am going going into the dark." "To die?" she gasped. "Yes, to die to everything that makes up a map's life in ` this world," he an. swered. "Mary, I am goicg blind. Think what that means.
