'Tis sad, 3 et sweet, to listen • To the soft wind's gentle swell, And think we hear the music Our childhood knew so well; To gaze opt on the even, And the boundless fields of air, And feel again our boyhood's wish „To roam like angels there. There are many dreams of gladness 'That cling around the past,— And from the tomb of feeling Old thoughts come thronging fast; The forms we loved so dearly In the happy days now gone, The beautiful and lovely, So fair to look upon. Those bright and gentle maidens Who seemed so formed for bliss, Too glorious and too heavenly For such a world as this ; Whose dark, soft eyes seemed swimming In a sea of liquid light, And whose locks of gold were streaming O'er brows so sunny bright. Whose smiles were like the sunshine In the Bps bag-time of the y eer— Like the changeful gleams of April, They followed every tear! They have passed—like hopes away, And their - loveliness has lied ; Oh, many a heart is mourning, That they are - with the dead. J. w. LOTT Like the brighteet buds of summer, They have fallen with the stem; Yet, oh, it Is a lovely death To fade from earth like them ! And yet the thought is saddening To muse on such us they, And feel that all the beautiful Are passing fast away ; That the fair ones whom we love Grow to each loving breast Like the tendril of the creeping vine, Then perish where they rest. And we can but think of these, In the soft and gentle spring, When the trees aro waving o'er us, Autj the flowers are blossmniug ; And we know• that winter's coming With his cold and stormy sky, And the glorious beauty round us Is budding but to die! ONLY ONE FAULT BY 11ARY KYLE DALLAS You may see it in Greenwood Cemetery. 4 splendid tomb-stone, with a woman's name upon it. Not Ruth Holly—though that is the name under which you shall know her—but a prouder name, and one you may have heard. Flowers grow about imr tomb and the turf lies ;witty over it.— yon would scarcely guess her life and its gad end as you stood there. Rather would you fancy that love and tenderness sur• rounded one, over whom such costly piles of sculptured marble rears itself, from her hirth unto her death : It is a story suoh_as I seldom write—this life of hers—one that cannot be ended by happy reunions and the sweet sound of marriage bells; but there are too many such stories in the world to-be quietly pass ed over, if, haply, there be any wafning to tUe t a. The live. n; other's Wre, if we read them rightly, the best sermons ever preached, and this of Ruth Holly's is only too true. Yet it began very sweetly, like some old pastoral poem. She loyed, and as loyed'again, and the man she loved had only our faufl. He was young, he was brave, be was witty, he was kandtorne, he was generous; his love was devotion, his friendship-no lukewarm thing of words ;he had great talent and great wrier. Ictriglu queuce had thrilled many an audience worth thrilling. What he wrote touched the skirl to the very quick. He was an amateur painter and musician, and every ' where was loved and honored and admired. He bad only one fault in the world—he drank too much wine at times. What p did so he turned, ;o ?aid conylval friends, into a very demi-god. It was wrong; but not so b-id as might Lave been,apti he would sow his wild oat; sortie day, they said, lov ing him as his friends all loved him ; and so Ruth thought. Sweet, loving, beautlihl Ruth, to whom he plighted his truth, and wooed in verse and song and with his most eloquent eyes, long before lie put. bis fras alun intu words ; but so did not think Ruth Martin's father. This one fault of Edward Holly's overshadowed his virtue in his eyes, and Le refused Lim his daughter's hand giv ing Lim the reason why, plainly and not kindly "you'll be a drunkard yet, lsjed EipPy," said the old man, shaking his lieu, sternly. "I've even ipsn of genius go the same road before, I've often said I'd rather have no talent in my family, since it seems to lead so surely to dissipation. My suns are not too brilliant to be sober men, thank heaven, rude; for ley 4au4htpr, onIA: a oqiier tlenian guor *re her for a wife ypo'd break her heart, hied Efolly," So the dashing man of letters Iblt himself Insulted, and retorted hotly, and the two were enemies. • Ruth suffered bitterly ; she loved 144. `4 1 44r, P 4 she loved Edward ; to disobey her pima, or to break her lover's bead, seemed the only clielve oflhred her, She bad other levers, she had seen muish'ioolo ty, and bad been Introduced to the highest circles in France as well as in England; but amongst all the men she had know none pleased ber se Edward Holly did. N'ot what one styles an latelleclusi woman her self, she reverenced Intellect, and•her 'ac tions were Intense. The struggle In her heart was terrible. She met her lover by stealth, against tier father's Will 1 !nit FOI a laag while she re sisted his entreaties to marry him in dee- once of the old moolo refusal.

PRIDiTICE steadily on to mount to the proudest seat In fame's high temple, and for a year - she had nolear of his faltering. Now and then a feverish something in his voice and man ner, a strange light In his eye, a greater flow of eloquence in his talk, a more pas sionate demonstration of love for her than .usual told that he was under the influence of wine, but, the fact only seemed to en hance his power of fascination; never was he so brilliant, never so handsoine. Al- Most could Ruth have laughed at the ser mons preached by temperance folks, of the harm sure to follow wine drinking. If the story could end here, the true story of Ruth Holly's life, It would be almost a happy one, but, alas, the sunny slope down which it seemed so easy to slide, daily grew darker as the years flew on. Hew they be gan to tell her the fate before her, Ruth hardly knew. A little flash of shame came first when his step was unsteady and his voice too lond. Then a grieved tear or two when he was unreasonable. Then a sorrow that kept her heart aching night and day ; for the man who had first won inspiration from the glass now lost It in its depths ; lectures to be delivered were not given to the ex pectant public because "of the. Illness of lecturer " Ruth knew what the illness meant, and tried to hide it. Literary work was ne glected also. Morley was lost that might have.been easily won. Debts grew and credit lessened; Me handsome suite of rooms was exchanged for one quite shabby. Ruth's dress became poverty-stricken, her husband was out at elbows and at toes—he was intoxicated from morning until night, and yet she loved him and clung to him, and in his sober moments he loved her as fondly as ever. Sometimes the old strength and the old hope would be aroused in - him and he would struggle to regain Lis lost position, but it was all in vain ; rum I triumphed, and five years from her one wedding day Ruth found herself with her one remaining child, the fin t had died with in a year of its birth, in the dingiest of wretched tenement houses in a state border- ,ng on beggary. Edward had been more madly intoxicated that day than ever before; he had even given her a blow ; and now, as the night wore on, he muttered and raved and called fur brandy. and cursed her and himself, until she trembled with fear. At last, as the clock struck ten, he started to his feet and staggered out of the room, vowing to get drunk somewhere. Poor Ruth stood where he had left her, for a few moments. The memory of the past was strong on her that night. Just at this, hour five years before they bad fled from her father's home together. How ten der he was, how loving, how gentle ! how he vowed that she should never regret that night, and how had he kept those promises? He had broken every vow—he neither cher ished nwr protected her. His worldly goods he had given to the ravenous demon, drink: his love bad become a something scarcely worth having, and yet she loved him and clung to him. She tried to feel cold and hard to him, but she could not ; she strove to remember the blow he had given her, the oaths he had uttered, but she answered herself as she did so, "It was not he who did 11.--it wax rum,' Elbe listened to the uncertain, reeling ibotstep in the street below and burst into tears.

He might injure himself, or some one might ielare him, He might flail in some out of-the way place and lie there undiscovered,and so freeze to death that bitter night; and in her agony of' terror, poor Ruth ronid not restrain herself frAm following him.

Then sip threw her warm drawl over lier head and hastened down the street, busy this late Saturday night with market going people of the poorer classes.

Roth was thinly clad—the chill of the sea-blast seemed to reach her very heart. She thought of the babe at home and tears coursed dein her cheeks. Again and again she plead with the mad man at her . Again and again she tried M bring to his mbad score lingering memory of the past days when his love and protection had been hers. fo vain I wild fancies tilled Ida brain; demons born of filmes of rum, held posses sion of his senses.

The silence, the pleasant warmth at her feet, the fancy that all her trouble was over for the night, lulled ber to pleasant dreams. From them she was awakened by the loud ringing of the fac tory-bell and by the sound of cries and &Loth& in the streets below. She cast her eyes toward the bed,—her husband was not there! toward the cradle,--it was empty,— She flew to the window,—the ,street below was fall of factoryboys,with their tin kettles. Some great jest amused them mightily. They roared, they danced, the tossed their ragged caps on high, they shrieked in nu musical laughter; and the object of all this mad mirth was only too evident,—for on the steps of the liquor -store opposite stood Edward Holly, holding his child in his arms, and exhibiting for the benefit of the delighted crowd all those antics of which au intoxicated man alone Is capable ! He called on the grinning master of the gin cel lar to "give this child some brandy ;" and turned the screaming infant about In a man ner that left no doubt that he would end by dropping it upon the broken pavement. Wild with terror, Ruth rushed out into the street, and made her way through the crowd to the spot where her husband stood; but, before she reached him, the scene had changed. Some boy, more brutal than the rest, had thrown a handful of radd into Edward Holly's fib r es d he, reeling and blas pheming, dashed forward to revenge the act. The child had been flung away at the first step, but fortunately, had been caught by an old negreas who, though a degraded crea ture herself, had enough of the woman re- ' maining to save the infant from injury. And now the whole horde of boys; beset the drunken man, pelting him with sticks and stones and decayed vegetables from the kennel, and revelling in the brutal delight with which such a scene always seems to inspire boys of the lower classes. Ruth saw that her babe was safe and that her husband was in danger, and, forgetful of all' else, flew toward him. She cared nothing for the jeers of the mob; before them all, she flung her arms about hint, and interposed her beautiful person between him and his assailants. The head that had car ried itself a little proudly in.the presence of the highest of the land—that had seemed more queen-like than that of the empress herself, at the Court of France—that had awakened the envy of titled English wo- 1 man while she dwelt among them—dropped itself low upon the bosom of the drunken , wretch who was the jeer and scorn of a low mob ; and only in love. and pity, not in anger did she speak to him : "Come home, Edward! they'll hurt you, my poor love! come home with me." Mad as he was—filled with the demons of drink, to the exclusion of the soul God had .given him—the soft, sweet voice, the fond tench of the white fingers, awakened some memory of the past in the man's breast. "Go you home, girl !" he whispered ; "ru kill them! Don't fret. I'll kill 'em, and—" "Come home, darling," she whispered egekts WI he stopped and gave her a kiss. At that the boys yelled derisively, and flung mbee mud and stone, at them- One' threw a stortn:--4 heavy stone, sharp-pointed and jagged. Whether he even intended to strike the man is douhtful but the missile flew fiercely through the air and crashed against the golden head of the devoted wife. A stream of blood gushed from. the white temple and poured down upon the bosom where it dropped never to iifl, Itself again—. never, never more. Only with a quivering shudder of pain she felt for the face of the man who had sworn to love and cherish her, and had broken that vow so utterly hers had been so truly kept.

A. sobered man bent over the dead woman, whose hands had dropped away from his brest, and the love and truth and tenderness of her heart were all manifest to him In that ter rible moment—manifest In vain, for repent ance could not restore her to life, nor blot out the love which had crashed her heart through all those weary days of her• sad married life.

"A woman killed," said the policeman, "and that brute is the cause of all," and the gentleman bent fbrward and started back with a cry of an guish. "It is Ruth !" he said.
