Together Ihey stood, upon tlio vino wreathed porch, And tho snushlno played on her bright, brown hair, Those cluslerlng curls, as they fell o'er her brow, Just stirred with tho brcnlh of tho morning air. And tho llpa wero parted with a tender smile, And the eyes looked a lovo-llght.deep and truo Into eyes that mirrored her own Imago thcro. In depths that reflected the heavens, clear blue. And ho looked fondly down on the bright young face, UpllRed in Us trusting faith aud love, Whllosoftly ho innrmcred the same old-tlmo vows That should stand ns firm as Ihu stars above. Ho said as ho kissed the bright drops from the eyes. That wept, at parting, though tears were vain, 'Dearest love, but for thee, I seek a far clime, And wilt thou bo truo till we meet again?'' "Till wo meet ugalnl" 'twas when long yours hail flown; But his bride wore tresses of shining gold Which shaded a brow, full as haughty, as fair, And no love-light lay in tho eyes so cold. They met, but If he was llcklo she was proud, Aud the pain or perflay none might know; For the vlncwrcalhed porch told no treacherous tale, Of Summer morning In the long ngo. M.uttAN Itosa. JOHN BOYDEN'S INVESTMENT. John Boytlcu was n young farmer, who lived In a country village, and was an honest liouorablo fellow, who bo llovcd In dolngjust ns ho proinised.uiul only promising what he could perform. In this respect, at least, ho wns tho very soul of honor. Ho would not havu wronged a man out of u cent, to uso his own phraso, no inore'u hu'd chop Ills right hand olf. And ovcrybody know ho felt whnt he said. They respected him for his uprightness, and prophesied that John would buy himself a nico farm somo day, and mako ouo of their besP men. For, notwithstanding tho rich ness of his heart, John was poor in worldly goods. Ho had commenced in life by working upon neighboring farms by tho day or week, and in a short time had saved enough to furnish a humblo Ilttlo houso which ho had bought upon long credit. But an evil tiny came upon John. Ho was engaged with a neighbor digging a drain on his premises, when a sudden dash of rain drovo them to tho houso. "Don't you want to look atthopapor, John?" tho man asked, passing lilm tho city sheet, which had arrived tho previous evening. Ho took tho paper, rather to pass tho timo than for any other purpose, as ho was not given to reading extensively. Whllo ho sat listlessly running his eyes down tho columns, ho camo to that part devoted to advertisements. Ho would lutvo turned tho sheet, but at that mo ment his gazo wns arrested by a para graph, headed, '$2.1 DOLLARS PER DAY TO AGENTS I" Ho read tho strange announcement, then re-rend it,belngvery careful in re gard to tho figures. Then ho muttered to himself, "Well, now if that don't beat nil I ever heurd of 'twenty-flvo dollars'", day 1' I wish I could get Into such a business, I'd bo content with ten dollars yes, or flvo either." Ho road tho paragraph attentively. Thcro was surely un opportunity for hlni. An agent, ono or moro,wa3 wan ted In every town throughout tho "Uni ted States. What If ho should bo tho fortunato ono to sccuro this golden chance! Ho really trembled lest some body else should see tho paper and get tho coveted agency. "Twenty-fivo dollarsaday,"ho refleC' ted; "a hundred nud fifty dollars a week ; six hundred dollars a month ; seven thousand eight hundred n year I" at that rato ho would becomon rich man In no time! Llleially his credulity was runnlngaway with him. Tho enormous figures had turned his brain At tho first Eight, If ho could but get that situation ho would nsk nobody to trust him. Nei ther would ho work for such paltry wa ges any longer. Already ho began to consider what farm ho should purchase, Nono Within tho circle of his acquaint ance seemed fully to meet his wishes But thcro would bo timo enough to con ulder that, when ho should have tho cuMi In hand. Tho rain had ceased by this time, and they wero ready to return to their work or1 rather tlio employer was ready, John carefully tore tho address of tho agency party from tho paper, placed it In his pocket, and worked through tho loug hours of thu afternoon. Upon reaching homo his first Ihouzht was to consult his wife upon tho subject but hu thought It would bo nu ugrcctv lily tmrprho to her, when ho should have commenced to reap tho harvest. Bo ho said nothing lb her about It. Ho wrotd to tho concern, requesting an agency extensive enough to occupy him continually: and udded many oth cr'tlilngs which ho had better not havo written, Tju) following day liu iniido u pretext of n hctulacho to visit tho vlllagp posv olUco somo two miles distant. Ho saw his letter sauily In the mall, and then returned 16 his work. Ho assisted hi tho afternoon in bulldlm slono fence but tlio labor was hard, uud JuliU Boy ddn was suro ho hadnover performed such n day's labor before. v : " t,A 1 -' " 7' r? HIT' J.rcri iff MMt ftl lit vpIIIIIIpIiIiI' Ho pleaded sicklies upon tho follow ing day, mid tho day after no ono camo for him lo work. Hu know of sovcral men who would bo glad of his nails tanco, but of what conseiiuenco would tho few dollars Ho could earn only by tho sweat of his brow bo In tho end? Ho would take mailers easy, nnd when tho business camo up, ho would strike at it with nil his energies. Theru wero sovcral Ilttlo Improve ments ho ought to mako about his own premises; but what was tho object in fitting up so much when it wasn't at all likely that ho should always 11 vo there? Tho third day brought tho longed for lotter. John placed It in his pocket and hastened homo. His' heart was light, nnd he almost ran for a part of the dis tance. Thero was n thicket besido tho road, anil Into this Boydcn turned to read his Important missive. Plrst ho pulled out a largo circular, which ho merely glanced at. His countcnanco fell n Ilttlo as ho perceived It treated of gold watches, but ho pulled out tho letter accompanying, and ran over tho con tents of thntassoon n.s ho could decyph cr it. It was all flattery, slating thnt from tho tenor of his letter they felt sure ho wus tho very man they wanted in that section, to introduco the now hunting ease watch they wero Import ing In vast quantities fromSwltKcrlnnd; concluding by saying that they would do anything to favor him, and hoped to recelvo uu order for nt least ono case, which ho could hardly fall 'to sell In any town in n single day. John glanced ovcrthe circular to find what was meant by n caso.nnd what they cost. He road. "Put up In cases of six each, and sent by express, prepaid, to nny part of tho country, on receipt of price $150 per caso. Every watch will sell for from $7.r to $100 often more than that." Hero was a blow for tho young man's hopes. Notwithstanding tho Immense proflts, it would require considerable capital on which to commence. Ho read tho wholo sheet over carefully,and his heart beat with catisfaction ns he rellected that such a tiinepicco never hud been realized in that section. Thcro weie certitlcates appended from many eminent men, whom ho never heard of to be suro, but of whnt matter was that? They had used the watches, and found them all that huinrtn ambition could cravo I Ho thought over tho matter. Tho parties expressed n desiro to assist him perhaps they would deviate from their established terms to do so. Ho wrolo to them representing his in ability to purchase an entire set, and asking for some arrangement by which he could commence upon a small scale ; adding that ho intended to put tho business through, and savo a handsome sum from tho largo margin for profit, He did not stop to reflect upon tho prob abilities of tho caso, or to analyzo tho proposition, as n man less credulous than himself would havo done. Ha wns only allured by tho golden prospects which gave such unbounded promises. Ill a few days camo tho answer from tho proprietors. It was not their way of doing bushier, lliey wrote, but as lie seemed about tho right kind of agent, thoy would break it package for Ills es pecial bcneflt.nnd ho could send for such a. number as ho wished at tho same prico per watch us though he had taken a package. His heart leaped with de light nt the generosity. Ho could raiso twenty-live, perhaps fifty dollars, nnd then ho would bo on tho high road to success! Ho said nothing of his plans, for he was determined to astonish his friends generally when lie made bis first real speculation. With tliollttlo'iuone ho had saved from his dally toll nnd which was needed for more than ono urgent use and such amount as ho bor rowed, tho prico of n Hlnglo watch was raised nud forwarded. Truo to tho appointed day camo an In nocent Ilttlo box through tho mall to his address. Putting It in his pocket be started for home, HU leet had nev er seemed ho light before. lie' sprang along tho road with un agility that sur prised nil who saw him. Turning Into tho thicket as before, ho broku open the package. Thcro It lay tho shining pretty thing! Ho took it out carefully, and after admiring tho elegance of lis general appearance, despite somo flaws in tho finish, ho put It back carefully. Ho would say nothing to Susan of this, but would go to au adjoining town and sell It fora hundred dollars, and twenty- fivo if posslblo enough to buy tho bal- auco of tho set. Tlio following day ho mailo falso pre tences tho flist which ho had over felt It necessary to uso with his wlfo aud set off for tho town. It was a good eight miles, but ho reached it by noon, nnd after taking n lunch ho dropped into it owolcr's establishment "I'll seo what ho 6tiys about It," thought John, "aud may bo ho'll glvo mo a fair prico for It. If ho does I think I'll tako It, for what is twenty-fivo or thirty dollars to mo now?" Suro enough, hero was a vital ques Hon. Ho was addressed by it smiling, good naturcd sort of tt man, to whom ho gave the watch with it perceptlblo pride oV maimer. "About what would you pall that timepiece worthV" ho asketl. Tho mnn glanced It over, and some thing of n smile appeared upon his features. ."Where did you got thlsY" ho asked, cyelng'Johii curiously. "Mo? oh, I'm agent for 'em in this vicinity," ho said, somewhat proudly, aud rather, mistaking tho'fecllng which prompted tho question. Ah ! indeed?" said thojewclerdook- iug at lilm again, "how do you sell 'em?" "Well, I hadn't really not a price," stammered John, to whom hading wus rather if now' business "I only got this quo yesterday I bupposo'lt is worth about ono hundred dollars." "Isltposslblo?" "What Would you call it worth? bco you havo somo a gopti.deal )ll;o It there," Indicating somo in a caso, 'No. slr,'' returned tho dcalor, rather quU'kly, tU'vo nothing of thuJunU Ajul ns you seem to bo an honest follow let ir.otcll you ouo thing candidly 1869.

Ho did not boiicvo what tho man told lilm, but in thero was an other shop somo distance below, It wouiu uo no nnrm to apply tho lest. "Ho feels Jealous of me." thought John, "and hopes to persundo mo out of tno business. Of courso it will hurt him some, but trado Is free." Ho ontor- od tho second shop.

"A friend of mlno wnnlcd mo to nsk you about this watch !" said ho, produc ing tho condemned article. "Is it his?" ' I don't know whether ho has bought it .r not. Ho talked of It a week or so ngo." . "ir no has n family of children. It mljht bo worth ton cents, as a toy; though such a ono as these" pointing to somo toys which lny in n caso "would ho bettor,and I sell m for eight cento." 'Aioyou honest about U?" Thero was a look of blank dismay on tho features of the questioner, which might havo betrayed tho Interest ho felt. 'Now I will convlnco you," said tho Jowcier, "if you are not afraid of hav ing this thing spoiled in tho looks." Johu bado lilin proceed, and ho took up a small vial filled with a colorless liquid. Some of this ho applied to a watch which ho had taken from tho window, and after allowing it to re main a short time, wiped U off. "You seo It leaves no stain," ho said. "Now I will mako a very slight appli cation to this bogus concern." Ho did so, and tho application was followed by an Instant discoloration. He wiped it nway with tho samo move ment, but tho blot could not be effaced. "I will gild tho plato over. If you wish," ho said. John did not wish. Ho dropped tho bauble into his pocket, and started up on his return. But how changed wus everything 1 His golden dreams had nil vanished, the natural lightness and buoyauco of his step had fled.

Now I'll go back and go lo work again. I may as well count In tho eight or ten dollars I might havo earn ed whllo 1'vo been fooling about this matter." Tho way set mod much longer on his return than It had been in tho morning, but ho reached homo beforo night. Ho was obliged to coutinuo his deception toward his wllo, for sho noticed his downcast manner in a moment. Ho explained it by pleading hcadacho and retired early. Next morning ho aroso and sought work. No inoro dreams of golden hue filled his mind, but ho had still his strong muscles to toll nud bring him certain rownrds. Ho hail learned a lesson, and ono which was to bo a benefit (q him through a life-time. It took somo timo to regain what, he had lost In timo nnd money. Strictly speak ing, ho could uover regain it, for both wero gono forever. But tlio experience ho passed through no doubt proved of more real servlco to him than tho mon ey would havo done.
