A STORY IN VERSE.

Of kingly pines a deejjer twilight made
• A girl, whose Weepiugeyes were downward bent,
A youth, whose whispers love made eloquent.

She turned to,him, as if she strove to cast,
Her grief aside; “I nood no vows,” she said ;
‘‘ -hove, such as mine, bas no mistrustful dread.]
‘‘ I feel all joy departs with thee, no eye
VTill ever look upon me lovingly
Till thou return; the grave has closed o'er all
Who would have grieved to see these sad team fall.
“ Thou arc mine all. It is a fearful thing
To love as X love tiled 1 |l can but cling
To one, one only hope—that time may ne’er
Biing change to thee, to. my poor heart despair.
'• 80-now, while Xam calm. God knowelh whore
We two shall meet again! Qo, with my prayer
Still sounding in thy heartl' Go on thy way.
Mine own beloved 1 Gojl keep time night and day!”
They parted, years rolled on before they stood
Once more together, in far other mood
Than when they said farewell; at last ho came,
Gay as of old—to her) the same.
And he who thought to hpar-lv* word? oi'bbma.
Laughed “6” 1 0. Bmire<ialled his boyish homo:
<• We rmjst-b» friends,”’harried- “*W-»U_tlie j.«
_**«llat old timcwhrn were girl and boy.”z—
He stopped—for. us lie spoke, a bitter smile
Passed o’er her Ups; and,o'er his t hought the while,
There came remembrance' of her love and truth
Before his falsehood blighted her fair youth.
“We never can be friends, for friends should feel
Kind sympathy,” she said, “in woe or weal;
My broken trust no time can o'er renew,
I shall be lonely all this long life through.
“ There was a time when thou and I were one
In hope, and thought) in love—it seemed that none
E’er loved with deeper earnestness of ihitb,
Defying change and sorrow, care and death.
“ There was a time when qt : thy lightest word
My pulse leaped wildly and my heart was stirred, \
Re-echoing the passion of thino own,
Cleaving in this wide world to thee alone.
“ Then at thy footstep howi the red blood came
Flushing my cheek! how at thy very name
r.trembled lest a strangepa eye should see
How wildly my young hpprt clupg to thee!
“ 1 blame thee not, f.-r uoyr niy altered heart
Is cold, and I am'tranquil as thou art—
Nothing remains of that did love of mine,
1 have no part in Joy or j ;tief of thine.
“ At times I weep to thiiikj anch lore could be,
And yet have passed awi y iike mine for thee;
To think that X cdngqzo With unchanged brow ■

*' At times there come old thoughts across my brain,
Shadows ut joy I cftnpotikuow again.
Coim* they to thee? Ah.jnu! for thou wontd’st weep
If those wild.shadows caiue to haunt thy sleep.
“ purely, thou could’st dot jsmllc, jf e’er to thee
Such visions came as uftejn cornu to me I
1 tremble at their preseneb though 1 know'
My heart is dead and all bclow.
“ 1 seem to hear again that] blessed stream, .
The music of the pine|tree>ifllU my dream.
Thy hand clasps minej tbjyi Voice is in mine ear,
The Voice my waking spin '-unmoved can hear.
“ Vwtl one by one past honVs of bliss return— ’
I' wake and fhen my heart ■will yearn,
.Feeling one hour of loVe’d own smiles tuid tears
Were better, far better thah these dull, hopeless years.

And as he watched her color come and go,
And saw her tears, h«|f sad*half timid, flow.
And knew her heart Was his—all his, he told
How heaven and earth must change ere he grewcold,
“ Lift °P dearest eyes, and let me rood
A tale of promise In .their lightl No need
To bow thy drooping ijcad in sorrow thus— v "
Days, months, and yoaya of joy shall come jar ns!
“ Mine own I mine own ! it is a pride
To know that none; in blithe world Maids
Hath part with mo, in thy nffccnone I
Fear not, I know the hleiistUprize I'vq won.
Nay, lore, I pray -thee, treSp not! Must I swear
That lam oven true as thou art fair? *
Come, dearest. turo| and kneeling at thy feet,
Ltt me once more my earnest vows repeat.”
Surely, thou wilt but smile when others scorn
Thine own betrothed, the poor and loVly born,
Knowing how great a wealth of love wim given
To thee, mine only friend this side of heaven.
To her alas! to her thoae ycars had brought
A mournful change In aspect and in though;
There was a stilinessdn her eye and air
That told of conquered passion, long past care.
Their’s was a sudden meeting, vet it woke
No change in her pale face; and then she spoke
Of that lost parting, where the pines were green, '
As if her dream of love had never been.

“ I don't see. Aunt Georgey," observed
a small boy of five .and a balf* years, in an
English village, who was sticking to his
figures dvringan arithmetical examination,
“I don’t see the good of the multiplication
tabfr. It seems to me to be going through
jisp much to get at so little^"
“You’d rather play, at ‘ tit-tat-toe,’ X
dare say, Dickey," remarked his beloved
Aunt, smiling sarcastically.
“ Aye, there’s something in that," re
plied the youth, unconsciousher ear
easm “ one sees 'what one is driving at
there, all along."
“ Nevertheless, everything has its use,”
persisted the old lady, who was a very
Minerva for aphorisms, and like that hea
then celebrity, kept a biro, which, how
ever, was not atgwl, but a parrot. “ No
one can tell wbUPbumcnse advantages may
fiow from the acquisition—”
• “ From the what ?" interrupted the rude
lad, who was Of an inquiring rather than
a reverent disposition.
: “From learning the least things, my
dear." J

that he was not able to leave before the
night express. I was not in very good
health, and retired to my bed-room about
two hours before his departure. He pro
mised, however, to come and wish me
good-bye before he started, which would
be between twelve and one o’clock in the
morning. The patter which called him
away was-connected with the bank here,
which had just burnt down ; an 3 my hus

the sneeze of a cat. Fifty' cats together
could not have made half such a distur

man who sneezed in spite of himself, -and
almost shook the house, but the idea .sus

pushing aside thh bed, which' rollpd on

sneeze, he might, have believed
me; as I lay quite still, baeathing .quite

asleep ; hut he reasoned very justly; that,
unless I was deaf or dead, 1 must have
been awakened by the sound.
