Simeon Brown stood in the doorway of his father’s kitchen, in the early dawn of a fair May morning; his face shorn of all its wonted yyousness, like an autumnal forest, when the eaves has gone down behind the bleak, gray hills. «T've got to go, mother,’’ he said, at last, addressing a middlo-eged woman, who stood folding a small parcel, before the cleanly- Boo dresser, ‘‘and I may as well go at once —come, say -bye !” “Yes, you've got to 5°, an’ it ‘ill break your old mother’s heart, Simeon, an’ bring down her gray hairs in sorrow to the grave,’’ she answered, in & petulant, grieving voice, asshe put down the parcel, and came and stood be- side him. ““No, mother, no—don’t talk a0,’’ he said soothingly, ‘‘you know I’m obliged to go—it’ll be the best for us all—we can’t get on if we stay here !’’ “Yes, we ean, Simeon—yes, we can, but you've got above your old home, an’ your old mother, an’ now—"’ “ Lisbeth !”” The voice of her husband silenced her quer- ulous complaining, but she put her apron to her eyes, and rocked herself to and fro in the abandonment of utter despair. * [ shan’t be gone long,”’ continued Simeon, his voice trembling, in spite of all his efforts to steady it, ‘not more than two years at the farthest, and then we'll all go, and have a nice little home together, and you shall call your last days your best ones.’’ Her face brightened up a little, but she asked half in hope, half in fear : « Bat if you fail, Simeon—if you fail, what then ?”’ A sudden shadow dashed out the sunlight from bis brave, young faee, but it returned again in an instant, and his broad chest ex- panded, and the muscular cerd in his bronzed wrists worked visibly as he replied . ** T shall not fail, mother ?* His strong faith somewhat reassured her, and she looked up almost cheerfully. “ Well, maybe you won’t, Simeon—I hope #0, at any rate—you always was a good boy, an’ I trust the Lord ’Il help you.” “I trust so mother; the sun’s ’most up; I must be off; take care of yourself whilo [’m gone; good-bye !”” “ Good-bye, Simeon; -bye, my good boy —that never gave his old mother a cross word or cattsed her a moment’s trouble in his life— God bless you !’’ He held ber in his arms for a moment, and then turned to his father. : “ Good-bye, father; do the best you can until I return!” 3 Good-bye, my son; God’s blessing go with jou!” ™ Here, Simeon, stop a moment !”’ called his mother, ashe turned toward the door, “I’d most forgot ‘em, an’ I made ’em on purpose for you—some o’ the seed cakes you always liked so well, think of your old mother when eat em.” Simeon dropped the little package in his pocket, drew his hat over his eyes, and stepped ou it. Faith Hunter, his foster-sister, was awaiting him in the yard. “I’m going down a little piece with you, Sim- pant said, good-bye.”” ‘He drew her hand through his arm, and they walked on side by side down the wi: pathway, the dewy pastures and browsing kine around them; and overhead, the cryatal heay- ens emblazoned with the saffron dawn-tints of the opening day; she, waiting for him to speak first, and he irresolute as to what he should There was, in his heart, a ing, which had been steadily deepenin, grining strength ever since a winter nig teen years before, when his mother came home from the death-bed of a friendless widow, bringing with her a little, helpless habe, and told him that she to be, from henceforth and forever, his sister. And she had been, and even more than a sister, perhaps, if such a thing be possible. Side by side they trod the Cote a gram of childhood, sharing every pleasure pain, and bef and sorrow, almost the same existence; hand in hand they en- tered upon an untried road of youthful untici- pation; but now they were about to separate and all the mighty love, which had grown u in the youth’s heart, and strengthened wi his ing fercely f » “and so you need’nt bid me great tide of feel- iy and own life even, he must not 3 She was nothing but a child, and he had no home, no inducement—nothing but his strong hands and brave, young heart to offer her.

They'll be home by 2 o’clock, and it’s most 10 now; an’ there’s beef to Toast, an’ the turkey, an’ the mince pie to bake; an Cary me, onder if the bread’s riz!—yes, eed, jest as light asafeather! It’s jest the nicest thingin the world for Simeon to get home on Thanksgivin’ day, ain’tit, Faith? Faith said, ‘Yes, ma’m,”’ very quietly; and the happy woman went on: “Poor Simmie, it’s been many a day since his old mother cooked a dinner for him—an’ he always liked my cookin’. ‘Mother,’ he used to say, ‘I never saw any one cook thin, as nice as you do.” How lucky it was, Faith, that you made that raisin cake yesterda: He always lixed it.

Never give his old mother a cross word, or caused her a mo- ment’s trouble in his life! I know he'll enjoy his dinner. Chop up them apples, Faith, an’ we'll have the pies on in no time.” Faith did as she was bidden, tripping round with a drft and quiet handiness that made her sweet face all the more attractive; and by twelve o’clock the huge turkey and great round of beef were nicely browning, and the mince pies and the mammoth loaf of bread were farrly done. *‘Gettin’ on finely, Faith, said Lisbeth, stir- ring and seasoning a bowl of gravy. “We shail have dinner in good time. You may set the table, and then and dress yourself. What'll you wear? Your new merino frock, won't you?” “TI don’t know, ma’m,” said Faith, blushing and averting her face. “I would if I was you. It’s the prettiest dress you've got, an’ Simeon always liked to see us dressed well. I shall put on my brown muslin that Reuben bought when he went down to sell his wheat last fall, and that dove-silk shawl the deacon’s wife gave me, an’ my new cap that Miss Stebbs made. An’ you wear your blue merino, Faith, and the gold chain Ses Simeon gave you; I know it'll please im.”” Faith did not reply, hut a happy light lay in ae blue eye as she sippet Gat 10 set the . + * * * * Two o'clock found everything ready—the old walnut table covered with the finest linen, and the brightest and prettiest of everything that the sae afforded spread out in the center of the best room; the round of beef smoking at one end, the huge turkey at the other; and the mammoth losf, rising, moun- tain-like, amida — of berry-brown pies and oakes,while the sideboard groaned beneath heaps of yellow apples and stone pitchers of sparkling cider. In the doorway, nicely robed in her brown muslin and dove-silk shawl, her dark hair (just beginning to be streaked with silver) put smoothly back beneath her best lace cap, stood Lisbeth, her face all aglow with anxious ex- pectation Faith flitted hither and thither, shaking out the folds of a curtain, or re-ar- ranging a branch of evergreen, looking quite pretty in her new merino, the neck and sleeves iy a with a fringe of misty lace, and her auburn curls streaming over her shoulders like waves of sunshine. It might have been a consciousness of her own fresh loveliness thst brought the rese-flush to her cheeks, and made her pause once in a while before the little oval mirror, to assure herself that Simeon’s gold chain was all right, with the clasp just in front. It might have been something else; be that as it may, Faith was not to blame, for that which we often term maiden vanity deserves a far holier name. [To BE conTINUED.] Brass Bocout ror Gotp—A Bad Speculation. The Philadelphia Ledger says the sale of brass bars for gold ones, which was successfully tried a few years ago, has been repeated within a day or two, a German of this city having been swin- dled out of $520 by that means. The sold are about six inches long and an inch and a balf wide, and a quarter of an inch thick, and colored to bear a very close resemblance to gold. In order to effectually deceive, the party who wants tosell hasa file coated with particles of gold, which he rubs en the fe of one of the Sore’ The particles of the genuine metal falling into a piece of paper, they are taken to a jeweller, who, pronouncing them gold, it has been regarded as sufficient to satisfy of the character of the bars. ‘This was done in the case referred to.
