Mrs. H. had frequently told me, that she had dreamt there wa3 something in our cistern in the kitchen— where she never bad been—that should not bo tlWre. It being now emptied, a very ancient, long, thick, and ruity knitting-needle was found at the bottom of it. I took it into Mrs. H.’s room, and left it on the tabic there.

On tho l i th , I and my wife heard noises close to our chamber, but I could find nobody.

were perched iu thc hawthorns, shaking down rosy blossoms on bis bald head ; and some butterflies, still half asleep, flew lightly in the sun to dry their wings.

Alfus stopped to gate on thc scene before him.— He remembered how beautiful it had seemed when first ho saw it, and with what transport he bad look­ed forward to ending his days in that delightful re­treat. For him, poor child of tho city, accustomed to see nought but dark courts and somber walls, these flowers, and trert, and clear air, were bewitching nov­elties. How quiokly passed thc year of his no vita to ! Those long rambles in tho valleys, and those charm­ing discoveries! Streams murmuring through the corn-flag*, glades haunted by tho nightingale, egl:

All looked at him with astonish men:. " Alius !" at last said thc oldest; “ there waa form rly a mock of that name at the convent. I used to hear thc old men, long ago, when I was young, talking * f him.— He was a learned man, but a dreamer, ami fund of solitude. One day he descended ioto tho valley, and was lost sight of behind tho wood. Thry .'xpeutod him back in vain. lie nevor returned, ami imno knew what became of h im ; but it is uuw a hundred years or more since that."

At these words Alfus uttered a loud cry, for ho understood it a l l ; and falling on hi* knev/. bo lifted up bis bands and exclaimed with fervor,—

** 0 my God! it has been Tby will to show mo mytino rows, wild strawberries—what joy to light upou , folly in comparing the joys of oarth with thoae of hea­then! for thc first time!

Familiarity descends like a veil — ------between you and creation, and makes you blind anddeaf.

And thus it was now with brother Alfus. Like men whose abuse of ardent spirits has made them cease to feel their power, he looked with indifference on a spectacle which in his eyes had once boon rav • idling. What heavenly beauties, then, could occupy throughout eternity a soul which the works or God on earth could charm lor the moment only ?
