Love and Laughter. Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; This grand old earth must borrow its mirth, It has troubles enough of its own, Bing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the air; The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But sbrink from voicing care. Be glad, and friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all; There are none to decline your nectard wine, But alone yon must drink life's gail There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow isles of pain. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by; Succeed and give, "twill make you live, But no one can help you die Rejoice; and men will seek you; Grieve, and they'll turn and go— They want full measure of all your pleas ure, But they do not want your woe. EIR RSI, CISSY’S LOVER. 1t was an ordinary plicture—a pretty, slender young girl seated under an ivy- wreathed porch, darning stockings; but Pmilip Staunton’s eyes brightened as they rested upon it, and a strange thrill stirred his unusually unsusceptible heart, “Have I traversed the wide world over, and gone unscathed all these years,” Le asked himselr, “only to fall in love, at fire: sight, with a rustic | divinity out in the wildsof Yorkshire?” At the sound of his footsteps the gir! looked up, with a startled aur, the lovely peach-bloom color deepening and brightening in ber velvety cheeks, What Cissy Moreland saw was a tall, dark young man of eight and twenty, with a somewhat listless expression upon his fine, handsome face. He wore a tounst’s dress of gray tweed, and carried a small knapsack slung across his broad shoulders. i ‘May I trouble you for a drink of water?” he asked, in a low, musical voice that made the young girl stare, its refined accents were so different from the rough speech to which she | was accustomdd. Before Cissy could comply with the request the kitchen door swung sud- denly open, and a hard, strong featured face, with Dbeetling black brows and fiery eyes peeped out. Mrs. Moreland, Cissy's stepmother. “Don’t come in here!” she cried, in a | shrill, acrid voice, glowering angrily at | the astonished young man. *“You have | nothing I want in that thing. I never | deal with tramps.” i “Oh, mother!” cried Cissy, in dis- may. “I’m sure this man 1s no ped- | ler.” “He's something worse, then, and | had better go about his business.” i Mrs. Moreland was about to slam | the door, when, by an amusing coin- | cidence, a peddler’s cart drove into the yard. She was one of those women who | make “distinctions.” Though unable | to abide one who carried his pack on | his own back, she nad a weakness for peddlers who had arrived at the | distinction of driving a cart. The angry look instantly vamished | from her coarse face, leaving it bland and smiling. She decided that Philip must be the avant eourier. i “{'m sure I beg your pardon,” she said hambly. “I took you for one of | the sort that goes about with smug- gled goods made at home, and cheap | laces they try to palm upon one as | genuine thread. I'm disgusted with the whole tribe, And Cissy there has put me all out of temper with her trifling and idling. Just like her dead mother, they say. It'sa dreadful trial to have apother woman's child to bring up. 1 would never have married Robert Moreland had T known he would up and die at the end of five years and leave me to take care of his first wife's brat, 1 have children enough of my own to look after.” Cissy was accustomed to these ti- rades, but they always brought tears to her eyes, She might have retorted that her stepmother had seized upon the bit of property that was left, and used it all for ber own progeny, and kept her slaving from morning till night, but she refrained. “Wait a minute,” Mra, Moreland resumed earrulously. “I've got lots of stowed away In the garret that I've n keeping until the right per- son comes along. If you don’t mind being hirdered, 1711 go and gather them up.” A roguish twinkle showed itself in Philip Staunton’s eyes, as the good woman d in the direction of the upper regions. “My ‘pack’ only contains the kit of a strolling artist,” he said smilingly. “But here comes the real Simon Pure,” as a freckle-faced man, with a scraggy, sandy mustache, climbed the steps, bringing an armful of tinware and some old-fashioned steelyards, “I shall abdicate in his favor.” Cissy's cheeks were burning hotly but she caught up her straw hat, and bringing a tumbler from the pantry shelf led the way to the well, in the shadow of some iilac bushes at the rear of the house, Philip drank the cool water she prof- fered as though it had been ambrosia. On returning the empty glass his gaze happened to fall upon the pin that fastened Cissy’s collar, It was a cameo of considerable value—a t finely and artistically cut; but it did not out of place, though her dress was of common alpaca, : “I beg your Suga ly, “but may I ask where you got b ddd Te wa Aen Le wear it,” "Oh—an beirioom! _ you tell me “Very little, mother prized it sy The Likes that of some Feu aunts name?’” he “Cleely i You've only been a burden to me ever since your father died. Go up lnto the garret and bring down the rest of them ” 5 Cissy fitted away, a painful flush suffusing her face. But she had not seen the last of the handsome artist, That evening, as she stood deject- edly at the garden gate, wearled out with the labors of the day, and trying to escape for a few momeuts from her stepmother’s shrewish tongue, he came whistling along the lane, and passed beside her. s “You have been crying,’ he exclaim- ed abruptly, looking into her pretty forget-me-not eyes. “Yes,” she admitted; "it was very foolish of me »’ “That dreadfvl woman has been scolding you again?” “I deserved 1t, no doubt, I am not strong, and cannot accomplish much.” Philip muttered something under his breath. “Why don't you leave her? Have you no relatives to whom you could Cissy shook her pretty head. “There is only the great aunt, of whom I spoke this morning, and I don't even know where to find her, She 8 very rich, but my stepmother says she hates girls, and could not be induced to give me a penny.” “Suppose you go away with me?”’ The girl stared at him, her cheeks flushed, her Lips apart. “I don't—understand what you mean, sir,’’ she stammered, “There is no occasion to frightened, little one, though 1t is very sudden, But I took a liking to you at | once, and I cannot bear to see you | abused. I want you for my wife, dar- | ling.” Cissy had had lovers before, but | never one for whow she cared. i A thrill of tingling sweetness shot | through her veins. She felt the spell | of those magnetic dark eyes, but Philip | was a stranger, and she dared not yield | to it. “No, ro, look so | you cannot realize what | ing at me,” she cried, running away | and hiding herself, with emotions sin- | gularly blended of rapture and alarm. | Two weeks wore on, Cissy #aw no | more of the handsome artist, but she was continually dreaming or thinking One morning she unexpectedly re- ceived a letter. It fell first into her | stepmother’s hands, who, in the exer- | cise of a privilege she arrogated to her- self, immediately tore it open and pos- sessed herself of its contents, It ran | thus: i “I do not expect to feel proud of a grand-niece brought up in the wilds of | Yorkshire, but it is time you saw some- thing of the world. You can come 10 me for a six weeks’ visit, if you like, | But don’t expect to become my heiress, | My will is already made, and does not | give you a shilling. AMY DuRraxT.” “Bless me!’ Mrs, Moreland exclaim- ed, startled out of her seuses. ‘‘'It is from that miserly old woman, your great aunt. How did she learn your | address, I wonder? And she has act- ually sent a check for fifty pounds to buy a new outfit and defray expenses. Well, I never!” Cissy’s heart beat high with hope and “1 may go?” she cried, in an eager pleading tone. Mrs, Moreland frowned, “] don’t know how to apare you, | just as harvest is coming on, but that | crabbed old maid would be angry it 1} refused to let you go. She lives In | London, it appears. Ten pounds will | take you there, and leave some money | in your pocket, and you'll want fifteen { more for new clothes, That will leave | twenty-five for me and my daughter Sarah, Yes, you might as well begin | to get ready.” hen Cissy’s preparations were all made, and she was about setting out | upon her journey, Mrs, Moreland said: “Now, I want you to speak a good word for Sarah, She ain't no relation of Miss Durrant’s, to be sure, but the old miser might send her a few dresses and jewels, and never miss em, Take everything that’s offered you, Classy, and when you come back I'll divide the things between you two girls,” . - - . » Cissy was quite startled by the mag- nificence of the grand house where her grand aunt resided. Her grand aunt, a wrinkled old crone in black velvet and lace, wel- comed her with a kiss, **You have your mother’s face my dear. I am glad of that.” “OL,” cried Cissy, eagerly, ‘‘do you remember my mother?’ “Certainly. I used to wish she was a boy, that I might leave her my money. But girls are not of so much conse- quence in this world, I had lost all trace of Cicely. And so Robert is dead? He was a good man, but sadly wanting 1n energy.” “How did you find me JAunt Amy?” “That’s a secret,’’ an odd twinkle in her beady eyes, ‘‘Dy the way, I see you wear a cameo brooch that was your mother’s. It was cat in Italy half a century ago. Do you know whose head it 18?" “Yours, Aunt Amy.” The old woman laughed softly, “Yes, dear; though it does not bear much resemblance to me now, The changes in fifty years! There were two cut at the same time. Ihave always boph the duplicate, oh en Sn . y 1 tractions PL seemed like enchanted land, She was for the first time in her life, Durrant appeared quite fond of “Whenever you think 1 had better go, dear Aunt,” Two or three great drops fell down the girl's pretty face, She wiped them surréptitiously away, but not before the cunning old woman had seen them. *(issy,’’ she cried abruptly, ‘‘what if I were to ask you to remain?” The girl sprang toward her with an impulsive little ery. “Will you, Aunt, Oh, I would be 80 glad?” **You can stay upon one condition, I have learned to love you, but my will is made, as [ wrote you, It cannot he altered, even %o pleases you. The bulk of my fortune goes to my half-sister’s son, & very worthy young man, Cissy you can remain a3 his wifel I have communicated with him, and he is willing to consent to the arrangement,’ Cissy grew very pale. Consent to marry 8 man she had never seen? No, that would be impossible, even if Philip's image did not fill her heart. “I must go,” she said sadly. There is no other way.”’ **Wait until you have met my Lelr, You may change your mind." “Never?” Poor Cissy dropped floods of tears into the box with the new clothes Miss Durrant’s generosity had provided. At last, when the’ good-bye’s had been spoken, she groped her way blindly down stairs. A gentleman stood near the drawing-room door, As she looked Philip Staunton! “You here? How very strange!”’ She blushed furiously, but as the young man opened his arms, Cissy he whispered. “Oh, very glad!” “Then you do love me a little?’ “Yes,” she answered, unable to keep back the truth. and, looking up, saw Miss Durrant old face beaming with delight. “You might as well ring for the maid Clssy glanced bewilderadly from the smiling woman to the handsome lover. “What does she mean?”’ “That you are never going back to abused by your shrewish step- I am her heir.

On top of these mountains, and about the midway of the path, there used to stand, in old feudal times, a strong gate, where every passer by was required to identify him- self before the officers in charge.

You change your clothing for the gown; then clap your hands and some ene will answer you and show you down the way to the bath room.
