It was Mrs. Westc tt, better known in Thornton as '+ Lecty," he spoke in a loud whisper, turning at right angles in her pew to speak to Mrs. Barry i:+ the seat behind her. It was the first Sunday in Ju y, a few weeks after Mrs. Castle's quilting party, and nearly time for the morning service to begin. The interior of the lit le church was bare and dull, but it was sc upnlously clean, and the dark green alind: closed be- hind the tall, uncolored windows softened the light, while they permitted pots and bars of sunshine to strike throug+ hese and these. Behind the pulpit on the gray wall a group of fluted pillars were au ted in fresco, the painter intending to onyey to the congregation the illusion tha an alcove extended backward at that point ; but. 'the perspective was such that no chip: was ever known to be deceived. Counting and corn- ering those painted pillars, ho ever, was the prime employment of those Thornton hildren of tender years during tl e hours of service, and they thus served a ! urpoee, if +ot that entertained by their designer. f here wasa black hair cloth sofa i• front of he pillars behind the mahoga y pulpit d at one side sto d a small unsteady able, on which this morning had been +laced a painted glass vase of " huiidred- eaf" roses. At the opposite e. d 'Of the hurch, in a high gallery, behind a Tailing :.nd a green curtain, were the sin t ers' seats nd the organ. j ' The congregation did not incroa:e rapidly or even very perceptibly, but one after an- ther small groups of iwomen and children nd young girls came' quietly in : nd' took heir seats, while at ;intervals, a ter, each roup, a sunburned pian or boy ould slip nto the end of the pew beside his -" women olks," having disposed of his h. rse8, and ad his Sunday merning chat with his . eighbors under the I meeting-hou: a sheds.

She 'suffered- for years past with 04 chronic !headache, accompanied vith a disordered stomach. She was weak and irritable, !and we thought she was going into s -de- 'cline. For three, week she has been taking a course of Sc tt's Sarsaparilla, which was recommended, to her by Mr. McGale, Druggist, Montreal. Her head- ache is now but a mem ry, her appetite is goad, and she has ga' ned five pounds in weight in twelve ays. She is a different woman, and I eel that you in God's hands, have been the means of re- storing her to health. I ,shah always recommend Scott's S.rs parilla to suffer ers from head or ';di . estive troubles. Thanking you again' I c ose. Yours since sly, - Hortense Gaviliere. Scott's Sarsaparilla is a concentrated extract, pleasant to the taste, and is taken m small doses. lIt is the finest remedy for disorders of the stomach and liver,palpitation, scrofulous sores, eczema and skinldiseases arising from impurities of the blood.

He knew if he min- gled, in gled, as hsual, with the people that he must greet MIL Deering, whom he had met be- fore, an ger ; an to do. must meet the face of that stran- this, for some reason he feared, Strangerswere rarely seen in the _little. church at Thornton, and the women stood aside and watched with half averted but ob- servant eyes the two ladies ' who followed Mr. Deering down the aisle, and out from the church to the horse block, where a man was sitting in a handsome covered carriage holding a pair of well- roomed horses. 'Young Mrs. Deering and h r child received their share of attention, especially from the young mothers who were interested in the dainty gown of the little girl. It was the young lady who ccomptnied Mrs. Deering, however, who w s most ' intently observed, and there were's me who, teeing her that morning and net er seeitag her again, could still, years after,i recall the grace of leer Blender figure, the exquisite color and tex- ture of her gown, the faint fragrance that passed by with her, and thle brilliant light of her smile. Mrs. Barry, ,upon whom none, • of these things were lost, turned ba k at the door shut upon the - stranger, and looked at Lina, who had just co a down from the gallery and was standing, in her thick white cotton gown and pinkribbons, with something of disapproval in her eyes. _ She was a pretty gir ,everyb d, said so, and she had a nice fair kin, bu nothing would ever make her look like that, ellen . her mother was admitting. t was j .st then that Emily Merle carne by ith an arfnful of library books, for it was time for tie session of the Sunday school to open now, and with her clear, untroubled voice said : " What a beautiful; w man that was, Mrs Barry 1 It was a' pleasure to look at her." - To which Mrs. Barry replied with a shade of coldness : — " Why do you think eo ? I should never have thought of calling her beautiful—she was so dark." Emily Merle made Ito rely. - On. the Wedne rday following Stephen Castle was driving is hay arinare Doll, be- tween nine and ten in the morning, along the turnpike road, r the e d`stage road, as it was often called, between Thornton and Pembroke. 'Beside him. in' his single car- riage sat Mrs. Castle in. h ' best gown,with a look of lively but restr 'ned interest on her face. - The morning wenbre4 bless with heat already, and the dust f oni their wheels settled heavily upon the tU3gled weeds and branches by the :road side{ The pine and spruce trees exhaled a pringent fragrance under the keen July sure, tt ld on the more distant hills shaded to a most a blueish black in its early light. It as alenidsummer day.. - " It's going to be a prett hot day for a wedding, Stephen. Look flow Doll feels the heat already," remarked 11• rs. Castle. " The warmest day yet, (I think," Step., hen replied, in a tone which said plainly that the weather did not interest him vivid' ly.: His face wore an abstracted expression, which his mother perceived, and so kept silence for some moments. Whether it was the close sympathy betw ten them which made the same thoughts, cgmmon to both without cords, or whether itwas accident, when Mr:. Castle spoke again she touched the subje: t of Stephen's innermost thought. " I wo: der," she said, leiter they lead driven a mile in silence, " whether the Deerings won't most. 1 kely come t. Sarah's edding ? I shou d most think they wo Id, George ;Allyn being their tenant fo so many yeas. What do you think ?" " Very likely they may b there," Steph- en repli d, and again t ey ode on . in sil- ence unci they came in igh of a low,brown .g fa,rmhous. near the road,wit an orchard on one side nd a smooth, gree yard on the other, slo • ing dowe to a vegetable garden. Contrary to custom, the frontoor of the Louse wa. in use today, and stood open, showing :hat an event of'.' impor ante was to take plat , and accordingly St phen drove up to the front steps, instead o to the kit- ehen door, as was his autowhen making pastoral calls.

On the table stowaicrimson fuchsia in full blossom. Stephen laid his straw at on the table and went into the square room at the left, called the parlor, which wa full of heavy odors of flowers, and clo:el shut and shad- ed as if for a funeral.' he room was of moderate size, and conta •e besides a few chairs and tables, a new melodeon and a polished sheet -iron stove which was freely decorated with branches `.f sparagus. The carpet was in violently- on ranting shades of red and green, and fel ro gh and uneven to the feet by reason of s underlining of hay. I When Stephen entered he room there were ten or twelve women tending about its'outside limits,with all of hom lie shook hands, and thenwithdrawii g to a - corner behind a small, table, he stood silent, a small, morocco -bound book in one hand. His look and attitude plainl indicated his disinclination to the small to k with which the women were trying to $1 up the time of waiting, and respecting Ids wishes -and standing in especial awe df him as probably passing- through mysterious mental condi- tions' appropriate to the discharge of a high official function, they lefthini to himself. Very soon there was a flutter in the little entry, and Mrs.- Allen, in a tidy gown with a little lace about her throat, and e. bit of pink geranium in her bosom, ushered into the parlor Mr. and Mrs. Deering,' accom parried by the lady who had been with them s at church on Sunday m Mr. Deering was paus wife's friend to Mrs. A apology for bringing Sarah's wedding.

Looking with. searching directness into their anxious young fan s, Stephen spoke, and instantly all the n rvous tension 'of the moment, all its groteeq e blending of -the funereal with the festiv quality was dis- pelled. His voice was ull and deep, and vibrated with a tend r authority which seemed to transform t ose two common- place persons into child en of God, exalted by His grace to highest privilege.
