"You may, child; but do not loiter. And then come back, and lock up
the cakes and cherries, or Patty will get at them."
Helen ran after Leonard.
"Write to me, brother--write to me; and do not, do not be friends with
this man who took you to that wicked, wicked place."
"Oh, Helen, I go from you strong enough to brave worse dangers than
that," said Leonard almost gaily.
They kissed each other at the little wicket gate, and parted.
Leonard walked home under the summer moonlight, and on entering his
chamber, looked first at his rose-tree. The leaves of yesterday's
flowers lay strewn round it; but the tree had put forth new buds.
"Nature ever restores," said the young man. He paused a moment, and
added, "It is that Nature is very patient?"
His sleep that night was not broken by the fearful dreams he had
lately known. He rose refreshed, and went his way to his day's
work--not stealing along the less crowded paths, but with a firm step,
through the throng of men. Be bold, adventurer--thou hast more to
suffer! Wilt thou sink? I look into thy heart, and I cannot answer.

EGYPT UNDER ABBAS PASHA.
BY BAYLE ST. JOHN.
When the late Mohammed Ali heard at length of the taking of Acre by
his troops under Ibrahim, he exclaimed, "That place," adding an
energetic but somewhat unsavory expression, "that place has cost me,"
not the lives of so many thousand men, but, "so many thousand cantars
of gunpowder." These words illustrate pretty forcibly the narrow and
selfish views of that celebrated but overrated man. We do not believe,
indeed, that during the whole period of his sway in Egypt, the thought
ever crossed his mind that he was bound to govern for any other
purpose than his own personal aggrandisement, or that he was to regard
in the slightest degree the feelings, the comfort, the property or the
lives of his people.
