Friend after friend hath He taken away; Shadows are over the face of the sun; bereft How can you praise Him for what He hath done? I thank Him, and praise Him, tho' careworn, Of life's precious treasures, that sfill I have left Unclouded, unwavering, ever the same, My trust in His glorious, infinite name, I thank Him for promise of How can you give Him unwavering trust, When, shattered. your idols lie low in the dust? How can you think He is changeless and true When He turns but the stearnest of faces to you? Enough for my heart that He knows whatis best; ultimate rest, When, troubles all ended, and clouds sw I shall live in the light of my Saviour for aye. How can you thank Him for anguish and pain, Longing and praying for respite in vain, While out in the darkness and cold of the night Husband and baby lie out of your sighg I thank Him that I can look upward and see My husband and little one waiting for me; That it cannot be long ere I lie on His breast For ever and ever and ever at rest.

It wanted a straightforward answer, My arm, Miss Barron.\ And thus walking, assisting her over every trifling inequality of ground, they went on to the villa. Miss Barron was exceedingly gay that evening. - Lyndhurst loved her! _ Of course she was not going into a prosy en- gagement, She could not hedge herself in by marriage. But they could live the delightful life they had lived the last three weeks always, He had nothing in particular to do. Why should he not, when they return to London, visit her every day. She could, she thought, flirt all the same when he was not by; and his attentions, therefore, would be just as much gained. Her life was not to be altered one iota. She did not profess to love the man. He must not, however, scatter his attentions. He must concen- trate all his admiration on her. But toward the close of the evening, when Madge found he had not sought her once, a shadow of a thought passed Perhaps he was only trying to tease her, can hardly say, sit, that I came to meet had gone nut unseen, and would surprise you.

She had sung. thinking to bring him to her side, but he had lounged away-a thing he had never done before when she was at the piano. She had taken a gar- den stroll with a rival, Mr. Oakley, and Lyndhurst had carelessly drawn up his stretched legs, as he sat lazily on the steps, to let them pass down, without other notice of their presence. He had, she decided, fairly ill-treated her, a lady, and she would not tolerate redeness. She would teach him what was due to her. But days passed. A week wore on. She found no possible chance to visit her anger on him. He never joined her, He was always civil and well-bred, but that was all She was downright per- plexed.
