Unsatisfied. In the morning of life, our good ship man= ned, With we’er thought where the port may be, We loose our boat from the flowery strand Aud sail away on a summer sea, The wavelets ripple a silvery sheen, ound gem-like islands with a shining beach; But beyond those beautiful meadows green Are fairer ones that we never reach. The valley is bright with blooming flowers, Apd sweet with the wild-wood secrets; but fain Would we climb the mountain that grand- ly towers; And Jong for heightsthat we can not gain, Ab. how we vearn for the enchanted peaks W hose crests are lost in the golden hazell And ever a pathway our footstep seeks, "Till our eves grow dim in steadfast gaze. Whe is it we never are satisfied? W hence comes this spirit of sad unrest, This haunting ghost ¢’er by our side, This restless longing within the breast? Does the soul still pine for its native clime Apd the spirit-haunts that it knew of it is summer where always beautiful dim-remembered shore? t finds no rest tor the weary feet, vhere beneath the shining stars; And forever the wild wings beat and beat, Like a captive bird 'gatnst prison bars; Waiting, waiting, we know not why, For something. Alas! 1t i8 ever thus; And never beneath the wind-swept sky, : the things we wait for come to us.

Yes, yes; walk in, walk in, Dorcas, where's Miss Violet?” Dorcas, who made her appearance with a visage as stony as that of the Gorgons of old, and her head tied up in a towel, sat down her pail and scrub- bing brush. “She is up-stairs, sir, back windys.”’ *““Polishing the granddaughter!” “Yes, sir, We're cleaning house, sir, chuckled Dorcas, ““The deuce you arel”’ Mr. Heward’s under jaw dropped.

Dorcas White never had a lover or a love affair in all the six-and fifty years of her solitary life, but Dorcas had a woman’s instinct lying dormant within her heart, and she evidently comprehended the whole affair, “Very well, Miss Vi'let,” she said, And Violet went singing off to skim the cream for tea, Mr, Ericson came in the next even ing’s stage, complacently looking for- ward to country air, country rest and country delicacies, after his long dusty journey, He was a portly, well-pre- served old gentleman, with a bald head, a dyed mustache and a set of expensive false teeth, who considered that, as money had bought pretty much every thing else in the world for him i remon- ir “i i the house needs it, She's a drea smart housekeeper, is Miss Vi'let, “Four times a year!” echoed Mr, iricson, in dismay, *Why a man’s life would be scoured and scrubbed and steamed away from him at this rate.” He woke up at the first dawn of the sore, 4 8 wi : il iy ¥ Confound thought, as he broadcloth coat house ~ cleaning, contrived to draw his across the i i He came down to a breakfast of weak with a bag ready packed. “You're not going to leave us, son?’ cried his host, “I—I1 find important business ingly lied our venerable hero. ‘‘And look you here Howard—a word in your it would be very foolish for an old codger like myself to think of allying myself, to your — ahem — charming grand-daughter, May and November, eh? and all that sort of thing!

What does a few dollars signify between friends?” Take it as a wedding present to Miss Violet, whenever she finds some one to take my place, Ha! hal! hal” And away went Mr. Ericson, Violet Howard did not waste a single tear over her recreant lover, She went merrily on with the spring cleaning. And when the annual ceremonial was over she married-—Oliver Belton!

Three years went by, Oswald was working hard, and would rise by his own worth and capability. Lana had left the Reddison and for six months went to stay at Brighton with some relations of her own who were in England--by-the-bye, she was of high rank, and her father was Don Xe, She was a girl strangely particular in the matter of lovers, she would need perfection. But all that could wait until she went home, when the relations returned to Spain, Perhaps she had some sure perception of that perfect lover, though as yet no one had de- clared himself to her under that name, No; Oswald had his ideas of manly honor-he was not rich yet, Miss Ursula Money became ill, and she also went to Brighton, One day, driving along the King's Road, her horses took fright at some hideous clang of so-called music, and an accident hap- pened. The old lady's collar-bone was broken, Things are done with barbaric free- dom at such times; they carried her in- to the house occupled by a Madame Molinez.

Just as I threw my- self backward to go down, I would flip the cigar end for end with my tongue and upper lip and get the lighted end in my mouth, closing my lips water tight around it. A fittle slippery elm juice gargled before going in, prevents any accidental burning of the mouth, Going slowly down backward, I would lie at full length on the bottom of the tank and blow smoke through the eut end of the cigar.
