" I wonder If ho ever cared for any thing In the world besides music ? lie Is decidedly the ugliest man I ever saw: no more expression to hU cat jtreon oyo than my pet parrot's. I declare It pro vokes me to think nature would put up such a Job', " find pretty Uell Seymour poutlngly toro tho white rose clinging to the veranda post, ana spueiuny ios ed them on tlie gravel walk beneath Her.

" " Well, If he ever loved, It was some one as hideous as himself, you may de pend 011 It. But come, let's go lu the night air is chilling. Laughingly the two pretty, thought less creatures waltred Into the hand some parlor of the seaside hotel. Bell Seymour little Imaciucd I had been a listener to her unromnllmentary re' marks in regard to myself; but, leaning from my upper window to catcli a breath of fresh sea air, I could not help their conversation being borne to my ear, as tho night was calm and still. And her thoughtless words sent aic turning back, year after year aa some wanton breeto Mutters amid the leaves of some sacred volume and opens Its saddest tale. Little Fluvla was right. In the cold en days of manhood, far down the mis ty, niolderlng past, I had loved one of uoil's purest, sweetest tloners; a iiam ty blossom funned from the very tie- ginning to expand only In lieavtu. And tiMilglit, with the dear old memories stirred, I must give to the world my iovh dream, lor it cannot uo long now before the giay headed old organist of bt. rnul's will do away forever with eartn life and eagerly follow the licck ooings of white hands that call from the further shore of the river. May Auderly was our pastors only child, a radiantly beautiful girl of six teen. And now well l remember even now every incident that occurred that nrst Sunday morning in dune 1 ever saw her. Daintily rotcd, from the tiny boots modestly peeping from beneath tho soft rows 01 tier silken dresi, tu tho plump gloved hand resting lightly 011 tho arm of the old, cushioned family pew, she seemed to be ma.ie for my love, my wor ship. And looking on her fresh, pure face, I know the sunshine of my life had come to me, making me hereafter In heart as other men, with something to love aud cherish. The services on this especial morning grew intensely Interesting to me, and even the waxen petals of the calla Illy seat forth a perfume t urer aud more rclined, ns her soul mingled with mlno In tho morning anthem. Onco only she raised her eyes to my face, when with delight I sent the music swelling and swaying through tho grand old iirchej of the church, aud then sunk It to a fluttering sob that died away on tho morning winds. But for this, I might have sunk out of existence for any at tention she bestowed on mo. I was tho organist, nothing more, to her or any one else in this wide, wide world. As the services closed I leaned for ward to catch one moro glance of the sweet bright eyes, so blue and pure.but elio had already passed out, and I came down trom the organ loft with a Joy In my heart with which tho blight spring morning fitly harmonized. How fresh the dowers looked In their rainbow beauty the violets were so much like tlo shy eyes of my darling that I kneeled down and kissed one. I never dreamed, as other men aro wont to tlo, of wlfo and home and this little fairy as my fireside queen. Oh, no I she was too pure for rue, aud I was fully content to bet her up In 111 v heart of hearts as nil idol, and secretly wor ship her there. I well knew the poor organist and tho beautiful daughter of the wealthy pastor of St. Paul's were uo lit match lutha nurld'teye;but that knowledge did not weaken my love. Sho was my Idol; my queeu; and Sun- nay alter bunday, ni i saw her euter the square old family pew aud Join with my music iu devotion, I felt Uud was good In grantlug me this master passlou. For through it her soul nud mine could mingle In one beautiful, beautiful strain. And 1 think she must hare guessed, sometimes, my Idolatry, for, when I would pour forth my soul iu some grandly thrilling measure, a star tled look would creep into her sweet yonng eyes, and the little hand would tremble as slit turued tlie leaves of her squg book. lhls was ns far as our acquaintance went. We talked only In muslci and how eagerly I watched for Sunday's ilawu, that I might, as a olrd to Its mate, tell of my lovo in song. One fcunday. afttra year of exquisite enjoyment of my untold love, when the urignt Jiay ponied Its yellow streaks 01 gold into the whispering baby leaves of the oaks drinking soltly, as fairies might, the glittering dew drops nestling u tue uower cups, i u.issed tlie I res 11 loung voice In our church music, and the little daintily dressed figure in the large old family pew. Glancing at the puipit, 1 found a stranger lllllug ur. Auderly'8 nlacci A wild fear of some- think iu the future seized my heart, and Ihat day I'm sure tho tuuslu must hare been poor, As I was hurrying out of tho organ loft, wild with fear and uneasy thoughts, snmo one nt the choir remarked behind me In a tone of deep sj mpathy : " Poor llttlo May Auderly I Is it not sad that ono so young and beautiful should llo dying this sunlit spring morning ?" I stopped to hear no more, but, stun ned and bewildered, sought my shabby room and locking out the cold unfeeling world, fainted upon tho floor. When consciousness returned, I thought how drear my future life must henceforth be. I believed then (in tho first great shock) thar, death had thus affile ti d mo,becaup I, the plebeian musician, had no right to look upon the purple and golden hangings of "young love's dream. " That was only for the rich and high. Slnco then, years with thoir better, cooler Judgment havo taught mo where to look for the silver lining to the thun der cloud; and to-night I smile upon even this shadow, knowing that In tho bright " to come " nil will be clear as the sun lu mid heaven. Stealing softly out nnd down tho tree darkened street to Dr. Auderly's man sion, I entered tho iron gate bordered with tall, dark evergreens, and sat up. on the marblo baso ot tho pretty foun tain sending up sprays of crystal water In the silver moonlight as If there were- no such thing in all the world as sorrow or death. By the sound of passlonato weeping coming through the half closed parlor blinds, 1 Knew all was over, and my darling would sleep till Chrlstshould como to gather up Ills lewels; and, kneeling there amid the flowers, watched with the dead inside until tho first faint blush of morning painted tho eastern sky. lielng neither menu nor associate 01 the Auderlys, 1 knew not now to gain one more iook atniy frozen darllng;and sitting down upon the little hard bed, the chief attraction of my attic room, I wept ns onlyn young, lonely man can weep when he gives up, in tlie lull tide of life, his last hold of love on earth. A knock at my door aroused mo, and a servant handed in a card with the writ ten request that I should play the funer al dirge ot Miss Auderly, at her late residence. Thankful for oven this cliai.ee, I bowed assent, determining music should tell the hovering angel spirit, my deep, wild Jove lovo that in life I dared not breathe, but wulcu lu death became glorified. Softly entering the darK room, fast filling with weeping friends, 1 stood for a moment, before taking my seal at the organ, by the side of the handsome rosewood casket nnd gazed for tho last tlmo upon all that was mortal of my Idol. The little figure lay stiff and cold In its billowy robe of white. The wax en finger held to the silent breast pure white tlowers, nnd a lily slept In tho (lark brown curls. Bending over her, I caught sight of a mislaid ringlet and gently replaced It, allowing my hand to rest for an instant on the pale, cold brow. That was my farewell for earth. I feel to-night tho separation cannot be. long, now. fcr I have crown old in years " and the grasshopper Is become a burthen 1" and often iu tbo quiet of twilight I think I hear the dip of the boatman's oars as he crosses the "river ot death," and the cool, damp mist from Us banks arises aud wets tho old man's brow. Ah, Bell Seymour I tho hideous old musician so worthless in your meny sight has a turned down leaf in his fold ed life all your beauty and wealth could never buy. A white linger has pointed to me a couutry where no fading or parting comes; n country whose maker and builder is God; and I know some day', perchance In the gathering twl light, I shall pass quietly away and take my "chamber in the silent halls ot death." Till then I feel "Tiiere'a it boantlf ul face la tto upper air, that follun nine ever and near, With soft, sweet evo, and with raven lialr. With voloeieas lips, yet with breath ot pr.ycr I led but uiiuot hear 1" AN ASTONIStlKb DUTCHMAN. A Dutchman lu the Pennsylvania oil re gions let his lands to an oil company Inst spring, on condition or receiving one-i'lglitli of the oil procured. The well iirovod to De a tnetiy good one, and the farmer began to think the ail men should give him a better chance, and ventured to tell them so. They asked hlin what he wanted. He said they ought to give him one twelfth. The arrangement was finally undo, with the understanding that the Dutchman was not to tell any one. All went smooth till the division day came, when our friend was early at hand to see now much better lie would oe on under the new bargain. Eleven bar rels wero rolled to one side for the oil tin u aud one for him. "How's dish?" said he. "I think I was to get more as before. You have mado some mis take." The matter was explained to 111 111 that ho formerly got oue barrel out of every eight, but It was his prop osltlon to take oue out ot every twelve. lhls rovelatlon took mm aback. He scratched his head, looked cross, and relieved his swelling breast of feelings of self-reproach by Indignantly remark ing : "Well, dat Ish the nrst time as erer 1 kuowea eight was more as dwelve." During a debate iu the Victoria Legislature an unfortunate loyal Lib eral, whose education had been sadly neglected, was reading out a document to the house, and vainly eudeavoiliig to decipher an obscure letter. Turning tu his next friend, he asked, anxiously: "Is that a hem or a hu ?" "Oh," re plied his Irieud, "call it a hen, and move that It lay upon tho table." UniEFLETS.
