ever wrote upon the Pleasures of Fulfilment. And if her old sorrowful life came up to Rosalie, it was but to stir the very depths of her heart with wonder and gratitude; till she was ready to say with the Psalmist, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?”

An hour had passed, and half of the next one, and still they lingered; until a slight stir arose in the street, and cries and shouts-first distant and then drawing near-broke the stillness. Cries not of fear, as it seemed, neither of disturbance, but of joy-of excitement-of wild congratulation. In a moment the little party were at the door.

All was still, breathless. Then again the murmur came swelling towards them, and the foremost among the cries broke forth, "Peace! Peace!" Nearer and nearer the people took it up, and cried," Peace! the Peace!" From one and another-from deep strong voices and from throats that could hardly raise the cry, it was heard— "The Peace! the Peace!"

"Peace! Peace!' cried out one little boy whose pattering footsteps bore him swiftly past the house. " Peace! Peace! I wish my voice was bigger!"

"I wish my heart was," Mr. Raynor said. And as they rode home lights sprang forth in every window, the city shone as if with daylight; and ever went up that cry, "Peace! Peace!"
