gether in the autumn sunshine; it is only the old story that will never have an end while the earth endures.

And yet what a beautiful tale it is;—the tale of patience, and long-suffering, and steadfastness! In all the world, perhaps, there is hardly any nobler thing than the fortitude which is lovely amid unloveliness, and fresh in the midst of decay.

This is the story that the Michaelmas daises are ever whispering in the misty town-garden; and the nurses repeat it to the sick children lying within doors. And the lesson of the Michaelmas daisies becomes wrought into the daily life of many a suffering little one, just as it must be wrought into your life and mine if we are to live worthily and truly. For to each of us is given the power of living and growing, no matter in what dreary corner our roots may be planted; and the Master keeps watch over the blossoms, even when they are opened for his eye alone.

In those days she had thought of him as a light-bearer, sent to brighten the gloom of her dark path; but she did not dream that he was destined to tread that path by her side. As husband and wife the pair will travel peacefully through rough ways and smooth, united by that bond of perfect sympathy, which does not always exist, even when hearts are very closely joined together.
