slow pain,The agony, when, all in vain.It fought for life, and how one swore,Once cold, it should not waken more: If hope one buried long ago Should thrill beneath those smiles of hers,Should in ones sere life stir and grow, As in brown woods the young spring stirs;If, breaking icy bonds of grief,Ones soul should start to bud and leaf,One might forget in that Springtide,How last years leaves fell off and died. If from warm faith and hope set highA lovely living child were born. With lips more pure than starlit sky,And eyes as clear as summer dawn ; Child-love might grow till one forgot Old love, that was and now is not; Forget that far-off time of tears, And all these desolated years. How vain to question ! Ah, one knows Faith is alive and hope awake—And love has stirred beneath Times snows, And sprung to life for her sweet sake.She only can divine and seeWhat future lies before those three,Since all their chance hangs on her breath,Her Yes or *No —their life or death. E. Nesbit.

As thetwo ladies rose from table, and Godfrey also, to open the door forthem, Mary spoke to him in a whisper as she passed. I wish you would do something for me, Mr. Godfrey. Certainly I will. What is it ? She waited until her mother was inside the drawing-room. God-frey had stepped
