It rnT in the niorninrj at six
To blow with a terrible force.
It wreat back to the end of the world
To get a irixnJ start in its course.
It came down l.ke the wolves on the fol
With inereeLMe sjeed ; 1 ucciare
Stone colauias of baildiags were lent
And Cofuer-lota Liowu out of square.
I'm sure that there never wa seen
is much wind in the weather befors!
It warped every well in the town,
An i blew otityoar teeth bj- the score.
Ia walking ciown-street you would go
At the rate of some ruiles iu a minute;
Twas the thickest wind ever was known
Y" ith never a shower to thin it.
It blew the land off of the fields.
And the country it filled with slartcs.
And the farmers next day with :;d he-u.ru
Went hunting tuounu for thdr farms.
It h'.ew the dirt clean from your face.
But it shoveled it into your eyes ;
Iu a minute i; took. tUyour freckles
Iu a way that occasioned surprise.
The sunshine wis blown from the streets,
The sma.l-p.ji whj blown out of town,
Men's words were carried much further
Than ever their words had been kncr.vn.
It blew your ears clear from your head.
And your buttons clear off your vest,
The firmament darkeued wiin h.tt.s.
And the poiatof the ooaipuja stood
west.
It b!ew the dy Vnck rj'jite n wok,
DUarran,;ii;g all business aS'ira,
And people grew mad at the way
Tne watiier was puttiu; o: airs.
It blew your boot otf f y.mr feet.
And a whistle it wde of ro;:r n--e ;
It hiew ojr drbts out of Tour nir. i.
And th? grease-spots clear out ji your
c.othe.
You couldn't walk o;:t without tr.king
A club t kep th wind iJ,
And you hid to ho.d fast U yo.ir head
Or it would have gne, sure enough.
Ti sure y an tii-wi.id li.at b.o.vs

det-.ehed a small locket from around her

contents. On either side wrs a tiny pio-turOj-
a hand-some, manly Dec, tvlth dark,
clustering hair and deep, earnest eyes the
other, herself. Two ysnrs before Phillip
Leslie had presented thb to her on the day
of their betrothal. It was the eld story a
few short weeks of unclouded .happincrs,
then a misunderstanding had arisen, and
they had parted in anger. It was two long,
long years ago, and in all that time she had
neither seen nor heard from him. Had she
forgotten? Could he ever forget? The
dreary pain at her heart answered her better
than any words could have done.
The sound of merry voices aroused her
from her reverie, and she had barely time to
replace the locket when Elfie, followed by
the others, entered.
It was a merry party which Charlie How
ard and his sister Gussie had gathered
around them at llidgewood Farm.
There wad E'.Ce Russell, and her hand
pome brother Hal, who was devoted to hia
couein (uie ; WjmaiU Stuartand Madgie
Hunter emerry, dark-eyed girl of eighteen; j
and Will Devercux, who was very much ia (

lag horses around to the door.
All was bustle and cenfusien in the hcupe.
Hal waa making numerous pi'.rimog-M ucm

At lskst thej were ready to ptart. The
tun waa glowing rc 1 in the eeust, fcoi th
rmoke xras rising slowly in the still, f.onty
air, from the farm-house u thej rushed
pat.
"Isn't this glorious!" escTaimsi Ele,
her cheeks glowing, and her eyes sperklirg

rplendid. I wish we were going fr
again."
"So do I," remarked Will, Ls u: by
her aide, looking into her eyes.

Cashed him a deCant glance.
The sun wrs near ils meridian when they
drew up before the residence of the Creys,
a large, fine-looking house, aurrouuded by
erergreens.
"Such a surprise !' eie!aSm?d Mrs. Grey,
as she came forward to meet them. "I did
not expect to see you to-drty. 1 am sorry
Victor isa't here," she continued, seating
them in her pleasant parlor 'round the fire
"lie has gone down to Chester on basinc,
and won't be back for several days."
The afternoon sped rapidly, and it wm
late before they dispersed for the night.
Shortly after the nine-o'clock breakfast
neit morning, Elfie came ir.to tha parlor,
her bright face wearing a shadow.
"Isn't it a fehanic, girls? It has clouded
op, and looks so gray and dark It fairly
ruak me have the blues."
She yawned sleepily, but a miehieroua
light shone in her eyes an Will Dtvercux
and Charlie sauntered in.
"Are thtre any nice young fellows around
here, Nettie?'' she aked, suddenly.
Mrs. Grey waited a inomemt before the
answered.
No yes, there is, too ! One, a bachelor,
who lives six miles from here. You passed -
LLi house when you were coming down. !
"Yes," said Charlie, who was stretched
out on a sofa near, "I have the honor of his
BCvjuamtance.
"Is he old?" asked Elfie.
"Oh, superannuated!" answered Zlr.:,
Grey, laughing.

interrupted Hal, putting his head in at the
door, "it has begun to snow, and it's my
humble opinion we'd better be going."
"My dear boy," responded Charlie, grave-
ly, "the suggestion does honor to your
judgment. We must sUrt immediately."
And half an hour afterward saw them on
their way. j
For some distance r.fter leaving Mr. Grey's
their r-:ad wound through cleared Celds.
then entered a dark strip of hemlock vroo-ls,
threaded I.tre and there with a tir.y, ice
bound brook.
"There, girls," said Charlie, as they
emerged Lorn the voods, "is the residence
of the grmrily, grim and ancient' bachelor
whom you got a desoript" n of this morning.
Nica place, isn't it?"
"Very," replied Winnie, looting at the
place as they npjrrottched.
"Oh, girls?" exclaimed E!e suddenly.
"Do hold on a minute, Charlie I hare an
idea. "You know," she added, as he drew
rein, "this is the second day of January, in

the "would have to take the responsibility.'
He tea handsome, this tali, "superannu

was a gleam of amusement in his eyes as he

The Tine Artsu
Some years ago, when it was discovered
that bv the aid of the sun. a camera, and a
1;,t!- nitnt c,e iiver. a verv lhir likeness of
the humari countenance miu-ht he taken, we
,vrre nured that the uortrait raiuters' art

remcmlred that it reniiires an aitist, and a

Photographs, too, are extremely evan
escent and soon fade if they are exposed to
the light. It luay very truly le said of
them that they "come like shadow.-:, so di
pr.rt." Ou the other hand, a well educated minia
ture paiuted on ivory, as it should be, by the
hand of a skillful artist, who knows the value
of colorant! how to mix and use it, is vir
tually everlasting.
The tints which were laid on by the hnr.d
of Sir Peter Lely, who had greatly immor
talized the court beauties of the time of ths
Charleses, are as fresh to-day as they were
when they left the artist's studio, and the
sweet but somewhat sensuous faces still
smile forth as brightly almost as they did
in life.
Those, therefore, who desire, lasting me
mentoes of relatives and friends, which tim
shall not change, must still have recourse to
the painter's art.
Adroit Theft.
One wet night in Boston, recently, visi-
tors at a public hall found a man at the t n-
trance holding out a ticket check and say
ing, "Umbrellas, please." People grate
fully resigned their wet umbrellas to his cus
tody, br.t when the entertainment wa.s over,
both man end umbrellas had disappeared.
A mors audacious trick was lately played j
by a "tT.cak thief" at a London club. He j
entered the hall without attracting the
coiiee of the porter, and proceeded to empty
the pockets of the greatcoats he found
ranged in a corridor. While selectinir a few
of the best, he was interrupted by a member,
who in astonishment asked him what he
war" doing. "Oh, this Li my regular busi
ness," he said ; "I am employed to clean
the gentlemen's coats in several clubs ; I
take all the grease out of their collars."
"Indeed!" said the gentleman, interested,
thinking hb had got hold of one he could
turn to account; how lung do you take?"
"Why, I'll be back with these in an hour."
"If so, you ran1 as well take mine," adding
bis coat to the he-ap, r.t the same time es
corting the "sneak thief" pa,st the porter.
"What grat conveniences you have in Lon
don," remarked this country gentleman to a
group of his fnends; I have just given, pHL, the Court, having duly consider
my coat to a man I fonnd in the i corri Jor. j the fTi(icnee pro and c-on and arrived at
who cleans coats for the club." "Who do ; di.fia;te 1,,0, directed th jury to
you siiy, cried two or three. "The man I
found carrying the coats out wait, I have
his card." But the knowing ones did uot
wait-they hurried out to find ti po,kat
of some great-coata empty, aad ethar coata
altogether gone.
