    MKE LEAVES, WE PASS AWAY.
I saw the leaves all falling,
Some so brown and sere,
And others, bright and swirling,
Carelessly floated near,
And as I picked a tiny leaf,
I thought of the Springtime fair,
hen buds and leaves were opening,
With besuties rich and rare.
Now the Summer fast has fled,
And faded have the flowers,
The Autumn leaves they too are going,
As swiftly pass the hours,
Yet in my heart there's tender love,
For the faded tokens here,
Emblems of a higher life,
That fills my soul with fear
For thus it is with all in life,
Like leaves, we pass away.
The frosts of Winter come $00 soon,
To chill us day by day.

WON AT THE ALTAR
‘Why, no, I couldn't, Charlie—1 |
eally couldn't marry you,” said Net-
Je Travers, with a rippling laugh, as
he looked innocently into Charlie
{1ton's grave face, feeling just a trifle
uilty as she saw the despair creep
ver him.
He had always been a dear friend to
jer—nothing more. He had fought
jer battles as school in childhood; he
iad found the plumpest, ripest berries
md brownest nuts for hear especial
ating, but now-—now he had actually
aade her a proposition of marriage!
A very matter-of-fact affair he had
aade of it, too—not at all as she had
magined that an offer of marriage
rould come to her.
It may be that that was the chief
season of her prompt refusal. :
“Why not, Nettie, darling? I have
lways loved you,' he pleaded.
“That's just it!" she exclaimed pet-
Ishly. “I have always known you—
Aways since I remember. We have
bught over mud pies—"
*No, never! We never quarreled—
re always defended each other,” he
aterrupted.
“There it is again!” she cried, im-
atiently. “If we never did it is no |
ign that we never would. No, Charlie. |

then I do marry—well, my husband |
ron’'t be one who bas bauled me to

“Who will it be?" he asked bitterly. ,
“Ob, Idon't know yet. My prince

oftly. ‘He must be handsome; you |

wo, Charlie—exactly two. He must

“That's enough!” ejaculated the |
rtured young man. *‘You need nos |

And without another word or glance |
© bounded over a stone wall and |
ralked rapidly down the road, leaving |
he girl by the maple trees strangely |
erplexed and uneasy.
“I declare I dido't think Charlie |
rould get mad so easily,” she mused,
tooping absently to gather the crim- |
on and gold leaves which fluttered to |
ler feet. *'It was real mean of him,

But he didn’t, and the days passed
wiltly.
The crimson and gold faded into the
ireary brown of late autumn, but still
vhariie did not come back to her.

“I think I will send her to her aunt

irs. Travers igstuntly left the room
0 look over Nettie's wardrobe, nad
ell that young lady of the good fortune
in store {or her.
“If you wish it I will go, mamma.”
That was all the thaaks she got for
the offer.
“If we wish it! Something does all
the girl—something serious, and the
losner she goes to Boston the better,”
tried Mrs. Travers, when she had re-
peated Nettie's words to her husband. |
So Nettie went to Boston, and aunt
Mury, weil advised in the matter,
plunged her into a dizzy whirl of
tight-seeing; yet she grew paler and
thinner daily. i
suitors came 0 woo her;
Clinton Ames, & young man whose '
rsonal appearance tallied with that
her ideal admirer,
“He {6 a fine young man, my dear,"
sald her munt, briskly, after he had
mlied one day, “A girl might do far |
worse than to Clinton Ames." |
“What business does he follow? |
wmked Nettie, Bbbeutly.
“Hear the child™ laughed her aunt
“I did not think that you were so
worldly, Nettie; nnd vk
jell you. What I sald wi

man. Hels very much welcomed in
dur sets, you know, but your uncle’

“It isn't—no, Indeed.” cried the
girl, with flaming cheeka “1 only

know what else tw say. He has no
merely
ary, and it would not matter to me
he had.”
But she was greatly mistaken both
in Clinton's Ames’ intentions and in
the naswer that she would give him.
The carrier brought her a letter
from home that morning, one sentence
of which burned into her brain:
“Charlie Alton is paying great at.
tention to Jennie Wells,” her mother
wrote, ‘and people say that there will
be a wedding soon.”
Why should Nettle's cheeks flame
and pale go suddenly as she read it?
And why should she care who Charlie
paid attention to? Jennie had been
her dearest friend, but——
‘The door bell rang ar that moment
and a servant came up with Clinton
Ames’ card.
Did 1 surprise you?” he asked,

you return my love!”
Why not? Charlie should never know
that she cared.
“I will marry you,” she said, as
with averted face, she placed her hand
in his and coldly permitted his be.
trothal kiss. “Only 1 beg that our en-
gagement be kept secret.”
“If you will not make me wait toc
long for my bride,” he assented.
*I'wo months, only- In two months
come to my home and I will be ready."
The two months passed away only toc
Nettie had overcome all opposition tc
her sudden engagement, and made her
preparations with a resolute and defiant
air.
She had not seen Charley Altor
since her return, and Jennie Wells had
called but once, to go away in puzzled
resentment at her reception.
“Delay the wedding. Your uncle is
making inquiries, and they may not be
answered to our satisfaction. We had
no idea matters hud progressed sg
far,” her aunt wrote in answer to
her mother's anxious letter.
But Nettle would cousent to nc
delay.
The wedding was to be at the church,
for the bride willed it so, «nd many of
the curious villagers assembled there
early.
Charley Alton was there in the dark

The village pastor arase in his place,
and thers was a flutter of expectation,
followed by an ominous pause; then he
said, in an embarrassed voice, plainly
audible:
‘No license? Then the ceremony

books of the town clerk where they

Charley Alton stole out, with the
feeling of nu reprieved crimioal who
has stood in the shadow of the gul-
lows.
“We might go over into New Bruns-
wick and buy our license,” ventured the
disappointed groom, when, with Nettie

chattering of the wondering villagers,
as they returned to their homes.
“No!” answered Nettie, impatiently.
“It was stupid of me,” added Mr.
Ames, in deprecation. “But we can
be published at once, and the wedding
will only be delayed five days”
“Very weil,” answered Nettle, with
an ominous flash of her eyes. which he

by marrying the daughter of wealthy
parents.

not more than 15 feet long, an ordi

trunks were packed midships, my
nurse took one child and I held baby,
while the captain managed rudder and
sails. We sailed the first night until
10 o'clock. The next morning it
blew a gale, but we still pushed on
until the danger became so great that
the captain was obliged to tuke in sail
and get near shore. Then getting into
the water he hauled the boat more
than twenty miles up the river, some-

the boat's head to the ifanlet. The

Just at that moment a huge wave

an invitation to come on board.

weeks from the tims we left Florida,
and learned that the Fanny had re-
