DREAM.

"Corrupting Ihe ate w.'h noisome smells," is
an actionable, nuirance.' bt.e Blackstono, pngo
217, vol. 3 chap. 12 "Trespass," or "Private
'.Vrongs.'
Sitting in a rail car',
Flying on by steam,
Head agoinsf a casement,
Dreamrd a curious Jream :
Yet I could not think it
All a thing ideal,
For tho' very monstrous,
It was very real.
First there came a gentle
Man, in patent leather,
Collar, bosom, wristbands,
Kuglnn, for the weather ;
In the height of fashion,
Watch-key, hat and glove,
And w ith air professional,
fpit upon ihe stove.
Xear him sat a pnrion,
Telling how the Lord
4tc"nt iht great revivals,
Iflcssed the preached word:
But my dream discovered
He was not above
Honey dew or fine cut,
spilling on the stove.
Xcxt camo in a trader,
Pockets full of cash,
Talked about tliccounuy
(ioing all to smash ;
'Twas the women's dressing,
Did the thing, by Jove,"
dipped a little brandy,
bpil upon the stove.
Then a jolly farmer,
Dragging of his wheat,
Thought his hoS end horses,
IS'owhcjrc could be bcal j
"Like to sell his durhams
Ily the head or drove,"
Kept his jaws a wagging,
f pit upon the sxovc.
Padjy thought 'twas quare like,
To I'O silling still.
All the whilst agoin'
Over bog and bill ; '
Twas a glorious couifMira
Sure," as he could prove,
Equal to his betters,
Spilling on the .tovc.
Witless ierfume.l dandy, '
Putting on his airs, .
Flourished diamond breastpin,
Bnioked in forward car;
Tulkcd about Lanioreaux, "
"Such a perfect love," .
Twirl' J a carrot moustache,.
Spit upon the stove.
Little hoy in short coat,
Wants to be a man,
Following example
As the surest plan ;
Watchew gent, and parson,
Copies every move,
And with the Pat and Trailer,
Spits upon Ihe stove.
Soon the flying rail car
Recks with nauseous steam,
. Ladies almost fainting,
Children in a scream ;
Husband asking Indy
"What's the mutter, love!
Have a glass of wab-r!"
Spits upon the stove.
On we go still flying.
iS'ot u breath of air,
Fit for a christian people,
In that crowded car;
Sickening, fainting, dyins,
Ladies make a move,
Cent throws :p the window,
Spits upon the stove.
Now, perchance this dreaming
Was not all a dream ;
'I hink I've had a steaming,
Traveling by slcainj
'Tis a public nuisance,
Any one can prove,
'All the air corrupting
Spitting on tho ttove."
Men call women angels
Wonder if ihoy think
Such obnoxious vapors,
Angels' meat at:d drink 1
Wonder if they 'sped to
Smoke and chew ahovc ;
JJt'low 'ttcill be handier
Spitting on the stuvc.
Talk of ladies' fliunces,
Kibbsns, jewels, flowers,
Crinoline and peifumet,
Gossip, idle hours;
Put all lauhs together,
Which men can't approve,
And tluy'ie not a inalch for
Spi'.tibg on the stove.

Mr. Carnugio recollected himself. "Susan
ha whispered, scanning her features, "1 thins
1 begin to recognise you. Hut you are much
alte red. I beg your pardon tor tuo mistake I
made."
'I am Susan," ho answered, raising her
tearful eyes.
"Hard you been ill 7 bo inquired, "xou

"No : I have boen well. 1 boiieva i am
thinner."
"That comc3 of fretting," interposed Mies.
Maitlund "kighiug and fretting after you,
Charing Curnagie.1'
And Susan blushed deeply, niuUir.g her
look a little more like herself.
"How ia it you never wrote to say you
wcro coming t"
" I did write, just before I soiled, stating
when I should leavo."
"Then we cover cot tbo letter. We
thought you still iu Darbadoes."
Many tunes iu tho evening did Mr. Carna
cio's eves rove toward the blooming Emma
Scarscly coulJ be porsuade himself that she
was not Susan. The miniature he bad taken
with him had been a kaudsome likeness of
';usan. as Emma was uow a baudsomo like-
noun of what elio bad been. The hair was of
the same color, dark auburn, dressed io the
sanio stv!e rinttit ts which wore much worn then
and to make the illusion more complete, the
dress ia the psiut.ug wis ligbt Llu.

sat Susan, pale and subdued, hut features more
angular llmD formerly, ber.bnir worn plum,
and ii'irr defies handsome, certainly, but a so
ber brown. - She hail not cared to decorato
herilf in tbu ibKnsj of Mr, L'urnagie.
Tho visitors-departed, and lie and Soptan
talked over preliminaries that tiiirht, Mr.
Carnaie bad business to do in town, "tots of
things," some .ol bis own, some Hint lie baa
undertaken for his brother officers, he miht
tret it done in three weeks, for nt the most :
nd he proposed that they should be married
at ohY?- onJ C 10 '-onuon toeiner. lint to
marry so st)Cn, cv-i til only a day or two's notice,
woulil be incotiVPnieDt, Suson said. There
fore tho wedding was sed 'or n month lionce,
when ho shonld have comp!.:ted lis business,
and tliey would then spend two or tnroo ffscks
at ainet watering place.
The following morning (hey breakfusted la
ter thou usual, for wIipd Mr. Cornagio, who
bad promised to brenkfast with them, came,
be draw Susan out with him into tho garden,
auf began talking to her lovingly, as of old.
So fate did they sit down to breakfast that
tho post came iu before they had finished.
On!' ono letter, and that for Susan. Sho
openeu it.
It is frotii ni" ttou. she BU "Ting me to
be 6ure not to dfsapoiut them, and to bring
the pattern of a pretty spencer, if I happen
to have one."

"liut I am tiitiking," .hesitated PiiFan
"thut I can go. A tint, poor tbitir, is so lielp
less, nnd they have depended on me. I believe
1 shall be able."
"Jf you could it would be a charity," said
Ursula ; " lor what mint will do without you
1 cannot concave, When do job leavo for
town, Mr. Carting'0?"
"As soon ns I can," he answered ; some of
my business is in a hurry. Not to-day, for
I must tive in a look at the Maitlands nnd
.other friends ; and I havo much to talk over
yet whh Susan. To morrow I shall go."
"And it is to-morrow that 1 cue: lit lo start.
remarked Susau. "I do not seo why 1 should ,
uot go. Ursula can forward things here in
inv absence, and I shall bo back at the) end 1
of a fortnight."
"Mind that you nro back in time. Susan,"
suid Mr. Curnagie, looking grave.
''I will he back in time, " she smiled.
Hrit I think I ought to go.
ieilie-did go ; and bo bad to bo at Stopton
early 'the following morning to take the stage
coach. Some of the fauuly went with her, and
M r. Curnagie. "You will havo to sturt in
half an hour aftet, me." Susan remurked to
bim ; only yoa travel by a diflereut route."
"I am not going to towu to-day," he an
swered ; " to-morruvv. I had no time to give
to the Maitlands yesterday, and they expect
me."
"The I thiuk I must say miud you nro
back iu time." returned Susan, jokingly. He
took a fond farewell or her, and sho departed
en her journey.
Precisely to tho day, at the end of tho fort
night, Susan was back, arriving in the after
noon'. Ono of tbu first persons she saw as sho
entered the bouse; was Mr. Curnagie.
"Charles ! You here I" she uttered, fn as
tonishment. "Have you come down from
l.ndou!'
"I have not been," was Mr. Carnngie's an
swer ; "one thing or other detained me here,
Susan. The Muitlands teased me to stay, I
and 1 too readily yielded ; then I began to j
reflect how much pleasanter it would be to
havo you in London with me. So 1 shall jast
make'myself ut ease till tho happy day, und j
we will go there together." j
Tl.i re- was something iu these words disples- .
ibg to tho ear of Susan. Stuy ; it was in tho I
tone. It was present;'' eager, i.s il ho were ,
so anxious to justify biuitell'. At.d never to
have rilten to her. i
"Yon might have written mo a letter .
Charles, ull this while-" j
"In tho lir.-t week, I d.d not caio that you, ;
should kn i'.v 1 had not left, fur I us perpo- 1
tually vowing to be off the next hour. And ;
since. I havo been looking to seo you every !
day, Ursula thought yoa might come homo '
before the fortnight."" I
"You might havo mentioned, when yon !
wrote to me, that Charles was here," said Su- j
san, looking! ut her sister Ursula. j
"Mr. Caruagie requested tne not.
To f.rprise you, Susau," interrupted Mr.
CariHiL'io.
Ursula had Fpoken gravely ; he eagerly, ar.d
Susan wondeie.l. She retired to her own
robin to take off her things und in u few min
utes Fruuces Maitland called, aud went up to
her.
"What a shame of you, Susy, to leavo
Charles Curnagie to his own disconsolate self,
was her unceremonious salutation. "And
tho instant hu got here, after his threo years'
absence 1"
"Nay," said Susan, " he first nf all decided
to leave mo' nnd go to town. When 1 left I
tbonght ho was going. 1 think I ought to re
proach yon, Frances, for having kept him.
He says that tho Maitlands teased hiin to stay
and he too readily yielded."
"He did not say so!"
"Yes he did. Ho bas just said so to bio."
" Wrl! tliut's cool '." returned Frances M ait
land. I shall tell Mr. Charlie of that. If he
has been three times in our bouse, since you
left, it is as much a he has.
"Xouseuso !" retorted Susan.
"It is trutb. I'll nsk Charlie how much
they charge to teach stoty-telling in Barba
does. Do I understand that you havo not seen
Charlie more than three tiiuts since 1 left V
returuej Miss. Chase.
I'hcro vou go again, Susan, catching at

I have uot seen l.uima yet,' answered Su
san. but do you mean by queer I '
'So shy and distuut. If wo only speuk to
her, she rushes away. I thiuk Charles Car-
uagie bus scared her out of tier self possession.
"Xou ulways were laucilul, i ranees."
"And tieihans ulways shall bo. You would
huve boeu better at homo than away ; nt any
rate, that's oo fancy. I have come to ask you
to spend this evening with us, and that's no.
fancy, You, your sisters and Charlie Carnu
gio. "I am rather tired," answered Susan, "but
I will come if tho rest do.
"It is docided, then fur I asked Ursula as I
came iu. Some of you cau invite Charlie ; I
may uot meet with bim. Goed-bye, till even

V ben Susan descended to the sitting-room
Ursula and Emma were there. "Let me look

Susan bad Emma before ber as the spoke,
and she .was astonished at the violent rush of
crimson which Qcw to her skin. Face, neck,
ears, were dyed with it. Not only this ; Em
ma began to tremble, and then burst into
teara and ran from the roohii .
Susan could not spoak for astonishment.
sue turned towards Ursula, odd tuw ber look
ing nn with a severe expression.
"Wiatcan huve taken Kinma V faltered
Susan. "1 meant it as a joke. Ursula, yon
look ttrango too. The honse altogether
seems not itself. What can he the matter ?"
Ursula did not answer. The scowl i0 her
brow was very deep.
Ursula, I ask you what is it t . You seem
angry with me."
Ursula rose. Sho was tall aod stout, and
kbo throw ber largo arms round Susan, and
whispered.
"Act with you, Susan dear. Oh no, not
with yau. My poor Susan." "-v.
Susan began to shakeLalmostas Emma bad
done. There is some mystery," she breathed.
"Yes, something bas occurred. I shrink
from tho task of telling it to you."
"Must vou tell me ? Must I know it? I
Lava been so full of peace and happiness of
laie."
You must know it, I believe. I scarcely
knew whether to tell you or not, and I took
counselor Frances Maitland, when she came
in just now, and she says I most. She was
going to tell it you herself, but 1 forbade her.
Susan sat down, somewhat reassured. Sho
i tliol'ebt it might be only that something had
goii wr.Dg iu the household ; or perhaps the
dressmuker bad spoiled the wedding-dresses
" Tel! mo pot at once, Ursula. Do not beat
about the buslv'
"You say I look" hrgry," said Ursula. "I
ntn angry with Emma. She bas grown to
love ChurK'S Uurnngie."
Susan turned white. Sho could not speuk.
"Listen a mo.neut, and you shall know as
much as I do. After you left, Charles stayed
on, sleeping at the inn, as before. 1 wonder
ed, but of course it was not my business to
send him away. He was much here : it was
only nutural that he should be. Then I no
ticed it seemed to occur to my mind all in
a moment bow much Emma was with biui,
out with him in th.i grounds nt all times, cud
all hours, and wilb him in-doors. Well, Su-
I san, 1 never thought to check it, for it only
! seemed as natural as the other. Lost night
Frances Maitland ran in at dusk, after their
tea. 1 don't know what it was with you, but
hero it was n dull, dismal evening, almost
foggy. 'Wbcu do you expect Susan borne?'
were her first words, without snyiu-; 'How
d'ya do?' or anything but you kuow her
abrupt manner. 'Probably to-morrow,' I
answered. 'Well, it's time she came, that's
ull,' suid she ; 'I bave seen wbat I don't like.
1 have suspected il some days, but I am sure
of it now that Emma Is too intimate witb
Charlie Carnngie.' "SusHn," added Ursula,
"you might havo knocked me down with a
feather ; and then it all rose up frightfully
before me, their walking out together, end
their whisperings iu-doors."
"How did she mean that they were too
intimate?" faltered Susan. "Wbat bad she
seen ?"
"She would not say. She said she would
only tell you. You bad better ask her."
So3an leaned ber head upon ber hand.
"Frauces !s verv fanciful,' was ber remark,
"and if 0QCO,auoi4Lkj. n idea inpsrvtrrd,
bur imagination improves upon it."
"True. You must bave it out with ber,
what she did see, and what she did not.
When Emma walked herself in last night, it
was nearly dark ; I suid nothing to ber. 1
IVar she is too fond of him ; it all looks like
it. Of his sentiments 1 know nothinc; but
since this occurred, 1 havo wondered whether
' sho was the altruction that kept hitu here."
i How Susau bore with her feelings till
evening, when they went to the Maillunds,
' she scarcely knew. She drew Frances aside
, at once. "Ursula has told me," the hispcr
td. "What wus it juu saw ?''
j "Only that sho was clasped to Charles
; Curnagie'a breatt, crjing and wailing, and be
was kissing ber."
j "Oh, Francos ! you surely never saw that !"
; "1 (I id sec ll. 11 it wcro tue lust word 1
j hud to speak, I saw il," iniprcssivoly tittered
; Miss Maitland. "They were bemoaning their
hard fate in his being bound to you. Sho
sobbed out that iter happiness was gouo for-
ever, and bo that he had never loved Susan
j half as pasiiionutely as ho loved l.er. Thut is
i all I saw or heard, Susan : but '.but is pretty
j well."
i "Where were they ?"
j "In tho urove, by the large elm tree at the
; turning! You kuow the bench."
Susan went into tho druwiug room. The
! scene swam before lier eyes ; she answered
questions ut random ; ami when Mr. larnagte
spoke to her, sho turned faint and sick. Out
wanlly ho was ultelitive to her, but it was a
forced attention. In the courso of the eve
hing, wlieu some ef the party wera iu the
garden, Mr. Carnngie drew Emma away from
th rest. Susan followed them ; she believed
il her duty j she was wretched, jealous, mise
rable. Sho saw them standing together in
au altitude of tho deepest affection, and she
drew away again, more jeulou3 and metro
wretched than before.
"What shul! you do? what will bo your
courso ?" Miss Maitland asked her.
"I know not, I know not," sho answered,
ia a touo of anguish. "Frances, pity mo !
oh, that 1 could liy away somowbero from it
ull, and laid rest r
Frunces Maitland did pity her, little as she
was niven to pity anybody. "It will take
Susau years to get over this," was ber men
tal comment. "1 vvouuer whether she will
marry him."
lien tupy let: that night, .Mr. Carnagio
offered his uitn to Susan. She thanked him,
und said she bad bet dress to hold up. Yet
short petticoats were worn then, lie weul
at once to Emma ; sho took it, end they lm
irored, whispering, behiud Susan and Ursula
He left thum at their door, ami Susau shut
herself into ber chamber to think.
An hour afterwards, she entered Emma's
room, who was men undressing, sue said
what shu had let say ; despair wus la her low
voice: no anger: yet Emma Qucir bersell
down ou ibo Uoor, und shrieked aod sobbed
in self-reproach.
"I could not help it I could not help it,"
she ahriekod forth. The first moment, wben
be suddenly appeared aod clasped uie in bis
embrace, drew my heart to iiira ; and my
love foe bim it aa living fire. Why was I so
like you? Why are yoa so cbaueed? Hall
his tune be calls me Susan ; bis love bas uot
ilteied, be says, only that I am now what
you were. To love you, as you are uow, be
must cbunge the object of bis tuiud's uU'oc
lion and be cannot do it.
"Nest to bim, wbo was my second self. 1

"1 bave cherished you as someti'-j. moru

It was a slranpe seertc. Emma sobbing

whispered Susan ; "I must now sacrifice

Snsnn left tho room ns sho spoke, and
there stood Ursula.
' Susan, 1 heard you iu there j I almost
hoped you were beuting her. We must 6etid
her away to aunt's to-morrow morning, uutil
the wedding is over."
'"Vh, Ursula." she wailed, In a tone of tbo
deepen anguish, "can you not see what must
nor j no wedding must bo hers, not mine;
she mnst many Mr. L'urnagie."
"Give in to those two fnlso ones !" ottered
Ursula. "You iievir shrill."
"For my own sake us much as Lers," mur
mured Susan. "To marry hiin, when hi
lave has openly left me, might bo to enUr on
n lifo of r.;proach from him, certainly of cold
ness, possibly of neglect and cruelly. Ursula,
thut is more thun I could bear. I will have
ono moro interview wit ii Iiiui, nnd then leavo
till they are gone. You must superintend
what is required by Emma."
"What will the neighbors say?" wondered
Ursula. Aud Ursula shivered.
SLo held her interview with Mr. Cumagio
when morning came, but wbttt took place at

face was swollen with crying when she came
out, nnd lie looked more troubled and an

"What is all this rumor, .Susun ?" sho de

thnt Emma is to marry M r. Curnagie. I will
Dot have such folly. 1 bavo coma to stop
it, Tho country will cry shamo upon her

for her, I think, without sacrificing vour hus

"Say no more, Frances, was her trnly an

She waived her adieu, and drove away with
a breaking heiirt. Never to return home

C II AFTER 111.
It was one of the first days of early spring.
Two young ladies stepped from their houso
into the garden, to see what opening flowers,
what buildiug trees bad weathered the biting
winds aud frosts. They were Susan and Ur
sula Cb.se. Ono of them was tull nnd stout,
and she looked about her with interest, for
I she loved the parrleu that was Ursula ; the
ovuer a iair, quiei gin, wuu n suoauoa iooh
of care on ber faco, walked more abstractedly
as if she were occupied with inward thought
this was Sucnn.
Ursula talked eagerly as they slowly stroll
ed along; the finu stlus'.iitie had put her into
spirits, lier sister replied in mono'allubles
"llovv dull you are, Susan !" the exclaimed
nt length. ' What is tho matter ':"
"Nothing," answered Susun,
"1 know. Yon nro thiiikin;? of that com- !

is no reason vviiv you should sigh over it. and
wulk through tiiis welcome sunshine as if ou
did not cure for it, or for the promising aspect
of the shrubs and Cowers."
They were passing a garden seat as Ursula
spoke, and Susan sat duvvn upon it, and touch
ed ber sister's arm to detain her. "I will tell
you wliul is troubling me, Ursula; why 1 can
not enjoy this spring day, or anything else
just now. 1 have been thinking ever since?
that letter arrived from Emma "
From Mrs. C.uingio. Well ?"
"1 'hut oue of us ought to go out to her."
'Ought to do ii hat t ' echoed Ursula iu a
tone of unger and astonishment.
"To g out aud be with her iu her approach
ing illness."
"Susan I nm amazed at yon 1 nni shocked
at you !'' uttered Ursula. "Havo you forgut
tou her conduct : how wickedly sho behaved
to ns ty you V"
"Uul" Susan ftiifwered in a low voice
"you teuieniber who it is has charged ns that
if our brother tin against us we shall forgive
im n it once, but seventy times seven."
We uro not chained lo give iu to Mrs.
Caruafie's fanciful caprices," peremptorily
tpoko Ursula, drowning her sister's voice.
I bat caur.ot bave unythiug to do w.tu relt

came I have been considering it iu nil lights,
und feel that one of us ought to be with ber.
'You uuve strange uolions ! exclaimed
Ursula.
When the thought first Hashed across me,
I drove it away it may be angrily : 1 n nvlil
nut dwell upon it. Put it seemed ncti-rmiui d
not to bo driven away ; and it keeps whisper-
ing to me that it must ba done, il wo would
fulfill our duty."

And am not troing. So the thing is im
possible, and need not be spoken of."
"Could vou not uo luduoed io go ; osscu
Susan, 1
"Never. Had things gono on as they
CUght, uud you weid there iu her place, 1

No. I will not faciitico my health for Mrs.
Cumagio. Sbe is not worthy of it.
She is our sister. Ursula."
"Do not let es prolong a useless discussion,
Susan. Nolhiui! in the world should induce

1 io sos Mrs. Carnngie, here or there, it
would only be to renroacb ber. Shall wo
proceed ?"
Sunn waved away the proposal, und re
maiued seated. "We must settle this matter
Ursula, but not by letting it rest. 1 felt sure
Tou would tint ro : therefore," she added, in
a ',ower tone, "I bave been making up uiy

"Not to go to Uutbatioea :

"She is nut going to die nndcr it," retailed
Ursula. "She wus always full of fancies."
"I hope sho is not. but you see by her let
ter, bow low spirited she 13 bow eLo tlrrads
it."
'Her conscience pricks her," snid Ursula.
''One with a bad coustietice ij afraid of every
thing." 1

"And retain tender rcmetntiranco of him?
I don't believe you, Scsuni You are not ono
to forget so easily."
"Yes I 'am, whoro there is a necessity,"
Susan almost sternly said. "I could huve

thoso few years were passed ; but from tho

not, but I thought th"re would be eullicient
j of its remembrance left to prevent your run
niug to see tliein thu first year of their mar
riage. "
Susan Telt the words'. Ur?u!a was of a
stem, unforgiving nature, and her remarks
wcro often culling. "1 urn not running to
seo tlieni for pleasure j it will be anything
but pleasant to me; although ho is to me
now no more than my sister's husband. 1
would rather go over tho wholo wide earth
than to liurbudoeg; but the souse of duty
compels mo."
"You always did think so much about that
'duty,'" peevishly remarked Ursula. "Your
conscientiousness must bo very strong."
"1 supposo it is ; 1 bciieve il i?. A nd there
is another thing which utcps mo lo go," ad
ded Susan ; "my love for Emma. Although
she acted os she did, 1 cannot forgot bow fond
1 wus ol her. aud since the arrival of this let
ter, when liiuve thought of her ns ill, anxious
ly, not (as it seems) too happy, all my old
dear love for lio has come back to me."
"You would go sailing out, nnd make your
self a slave to the humors of Mrs. Curnagie,
and stop there a3 nurse-maid to her children!"
cried tho vexed Ursula. "Iu twenty years
from this we should not see you homo again."
"Not so," answered Sn?ou. 'When once
Emma is safely over her illness, I sin. 11 come
back. 1 shall certainly not stop to make my
homo there in their house. Hut sho does
seem so unxious for w hat she calls my forgive
ness, und bo apprehensive that she shall not
live! 1 must go, Utsula."
"How could yon go ? Wlin is to take yon ?"
"I cao go alone under the charge of the
captain of tho ship. I bave thought of ir.y
plans."
"Ob ! iryou bavo made up yonr mind tl.
nothing moro to bo "aid, for it would not t
you," resentfully spoke Ursula- "Shall je..
start to-day?" she ironically added.
'.'No," smiled Susau, "but 1 should liko to

"Susan you are not in earnest 5"
"Now taut I have made up niy mind, tlio

"That's not going to happen in a week."
"Neither can 1 reach liarbadoes in a week.
