dwell on a beautiful islaud,
AUnal on the storm aliakeu sea,
And the wild wares dashing around it
Can never bring terror to n,e.
And the island is free from inyaa'ers
As it lists to the ree.s rcttlrss moan,
i'or It lias only room enough In it
For one other heart and my own,
found it onp day when the IwlliRht
Was shrouding the sea wild ila gloom,
And I gavo it tho name that 1 loved best
The Deautiful Island of Home.'
Through its flowers I stroll at tho noonday,
And a band I bold closa to my heart;
Through its shadows I stent in the love-
light,
And bid all my sorrows drpait.
And olt ou its dim western thora
We wander and gate o'er tho sea,
To Die Beautiful Home that's eternal,
Prepared for my darling nud nun
And when the pale Boatman shall beckon,
And with him we rido through the foam,
We'll reach at tha end of our Journey '
A lovelier Island of Home.
URSULA'S THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving Eve, nail Ursula Hull
was oomirjR borne from her daily task of
toil at the district school.
The little mountain alrcam wns nil
choked with dead leaves; tho gourd-shell
lay broken iu pieces among tbo yellow
ing ferns; and ns Ursula stopped to
gather up a scarlet vine-leaf which still
retained its vivid glow, tbo setting bud
burst from a bank of sullen olonds and
seemed to encircle tbo whole world with
a belt of amber light, whilo a sudden
Rait of frost-scented, autumnal wind
swept the leaf from her hand nud seut it
eddying fantastically down tbo dark
wood-palb.
Ursula sighed.
'It Is like an Omen of evil," said she.
I was tb'rsty, and tho sprint; is full of
leaves and the shell broken; I wanted the
bright leaf, and the 'wiud bns blown it
away. And 1 don't know how I am ever
to tell grandfather and grandmother
about the district school,"
Then quicktnlug ber footsteps, sbo'
hu'ried c'ovn tha road, never pausing
uutil bbe reached an old, sleep-roofed
b i'ist, paiuted a dull red, and half bid
don by the giant boughs of huge chest
nut trees.
There bad been an old toll gate there
occe, but hart Ioncbcen disused, ant)
nothing remained of it but a sort of pic
turesquo arch over tbo roadway, all
twined with wild vine.".
And Grnudfatber Hull was carrying an
arm'nl of wood. into tho kitchen door as
Ursula jcame up. Graudmother Hull
wis knitting by the fire, iu ber cush
ioned rocker.
It was five, years sinoo Grandmother
Hall bad put her feet to tbo floor, yet
she was iudomitably cheerful through it
all. If there was a bright side to any
thing, Grandmother Hall always fouud
it ont; if not, she set herself to work to
imtglue one.
"Ah, here you are, Ursuly!' said the
old mno, mournfully. "And high lime
you como. Tho old turkey-Veu is lost
and the apple sass is snorcbed.and Lewis
Crawford hain't cnllrd for them eggs,nnd
if tbey nin't sold wo shan't have a penny
to put in the contribution -plate to-mor
row, alter the Tbauksgiving services.
"Laws sakes, father," said Mrs. Hall,
'what's the UBe ofrainin' evil ntxyson
Ursula like that? Don't you seo she locks
pale nud tired? Tbo turkey-ben is safe iu
tha branches of tbo set kel pear-tree; I
saw her juit now. Aud as for tbo apple'
sass, I duu't dUlike a li tt 1 o scorch my.
self; it gives fUvor. And I'm surttu sure
Lewis Crawford'!! come along yet. It
ain't lute, you know.'"
And, leaulng over until yoa would
hive been sure she must loso ber balance
Grauumothor Hall opened tbo ovon-door
to see how the j ihnuy-cakos nere gettiug
on. For coiu.incal was cheap, and the
old lady bad a fashion of reproducing it
Jn every possible stjlo.
"Granuy," said Onula, with a quiver.
ing lip, "I'd better tell yoa at ouce,
Squire Dean's daughter is to have the
district school next quarter. Tney don't
need my services any longer, thry sny.
Oh, grauny, grannyl what is to become
ofu.?'' .
Old Mr. Hall sat down with a groan.
"I knqwed there was sonic ill lack
comlug," said be. "There was a rabbit
ran across the orchard path when I went
io pick np apples r'ght cquare across
tbe path!''
"Father, don't," laid the old lady,
swallowing some sort of a lump in ber
throat. "That's clear superstition.
Don't fret, Ursuly. Wa shall git along
somehow, never fear.'
"Ob, yes," ligbtd Grandfather Hall
satirically, "wo stall get along, even if
we bave to burn np tbe side of the bouse
to keep us warm, and guaw eur finger
ends for food. Things is coming to a
crisis no, mother. Squiro Dean was
over to see me about the place to-day.
It's to be sold at auction Monday, two
weeks and I'd like to know what is to
beoome of ns theu. Ah, it was a black
day when I lent that money to Stephen
Gregson, and burdened tbe old bouse
with debt. I might bave known be was
a scamp or be wouldn't bave wanted to
go away and leave tbe spot whero be was
born."
Ursula winced at this. She knew per
fectly rcell.tbat if it bad not been for
her persuasions, Grandfather Hall nevir
would have mortgaged bis Louse and
farm.
Six per cent, seemed a golden Invest

But it bad not seemed like noustnse
iu tbo secret depths of ber heart.
Hhe hud pondered many and many n
time over bis empbatio words, but tbey
bud failed to come true.
Probably StrphcuGregsou hadn't mndo
the expected fortune. Certain it was
that he had not come home tu mntry ber.
Aud Ursula was bt ginning to coincide
with Grandfather Hall's misanthropic
theory that all tbe World was askew.
Grandmother Hall was silent. Sbe
was glad now tint sbe had never told
her husband and Ursula about tbo twen
ty-five dollars that site bad lent cousin
Abby Miller tbe boarded store of silver
in tbo slockiugdeg, which sbe bad pnrt-1
ed with to help tbe friendless old maid
to open h little millinery iu tbo city.
' "I'm afraid il'd money thrown away,''
tbougb Graudmother Hull, "I did
s'pose Abby would at leaBt bave. writteil
word about it But there! what is the
tiso of crying about spilled milk? I dare
say Abby feels as oad about it as I do,
poor, solitary oreetnrc! Anyway, Ursuly,'"
she Mtid, breaking tbn oppressive sileuce.
"tbira's one thing wo have to be thank
ful fur the pumpkins ripened splendid

rind father uiuit cut the ben-turkey's
bead off bright nud early. It may be

and we'll keep it ns it ought to bo kept.
Come, the tea is drawn wo'll all feel
better fur a good, hot cup."
"'Tidn't no use." said old Mr. Hall,
shaking bis bead, "Nothing ain't no
uso."
Ursula, too, was discouraged. Grand
mother Hull saw it in b.r faoe, even
though bbe spoke no word.
Tbey bad scarcely seated themselves
ut tbe little round oberry-table, when a
knock caino to the door.
It's tbe sheriff to serve the mortgage
paper. Said old Mr, Hall, whose ideas
of tbe law were rather vague.
"It's Lewis Crawford after the eggs,"
Bii J Mrs. Hall, moro hopefully.
But it was ueilber one nor lbs other.
It was a little old woman in a black
silk hat, a respectable cloth cloak aud
a brown-Btuff. dress Miss Abby Miller
herself.
Good evening, Cousiu ILilll" said
sbe. "I've come, to speud Thanksgiving
with you."
And you'ra kindly welcome," chirped
tbo old lady. "Urauly, set a chair for
AbbT, and tako her things.''
"But first." Baid Miss Abby, "I must
pay my debts. Here a tho tweuty-rlve
dollars I borrowed of you, with ten dol
lars fur interunt; and I know, Cousin
Hall, you'll bo pleased to know tbat I've
prospered and made money in tho millin
ery business, that I never could bave got
into if It hadn't been for your good na
ture aud generosity. Aud bore," pro
ducing a willow basket nearly as large as
herself, "is tbe finest turkey in Fultou
Market, and three quarts of crauberries,
aud h doZiU of oruuges, and a pot of
guava jolly; my coutribution to to mor
row's housekeeping. And if it was forty
times as much, it wouldn't be half what
I owe you, Cousin Hall!"
And Miss Abby Miller, failing in au
attempt to laugh, began to cry, aud end
ed up by hugging old Mrs. Hall with all
ber might.
Tea was hardly over before a now
yisitor arrived on tbe scene Doctor
Purdy, tbe chairman of tbo local board
of trustees.
"What's this about Squire Dean's
daughter ousting you from your place,
Miss Hall?" he asked,
"I have been told" began Ursuli.
"No matttr ubat you have been told,''
said tbo doctor. "I'vo seen Mr. McAl
lister, and be and I both agreed that you
are uot to bo disturbed. Yuu suit ns
exactly, and we iuteud tbat you shall re
tain tbe position, if there were a dczeu
Miss Deans to be provided for. You'll
remain, th?"
"Gladly, if you wish it," said Ursula,
visibly brightening up.
"And if Dean don't like it, be can
lump it," added Doctor Purdy, inde
pendently. He bad not been gone half an hour
when tbo kuocker tboy had never ar
rived at tbe dignity cf n door-bell at
Grandfather Hall's sounded again.
"Why," cried the oi l l.idy. who sat
where sbe could seo the door, "it's it's
Stephen Gregson!"
"Of course its Stephen Gregson,' said
a deep, mascullue voice. "And he's
travelled night and day lo be in time to
spend bis Tbauksgiving day with tbe
best friends be has iu the world. And
I should have been here earlier, ' cordi
ally wringing the hands of all tbe group
as ho spoke, "if I badu't stopped at
Squire Dean's to clap a stopper on tbat
confounded mortgage business he's so
sharp after."
"Ain't tbe place to be foreclosed,
then?" said Grandfather Hall, in a half
comprehending manner.
"Foreclosed!" shouted Stephen Greg'
son. "Not if I know it. And the thing
never would have bean thought of if tbe
lawyers I wrote to in New York hadn't
been scamps nud cleared ont with the
money I sent 'tm six mouths ago to pay
np tbe mortgage. However, here I am
In time at last, with the amount of tbe
debt I owe you, safely lodged in tbo
Wickhsm Bank, and euongb besides tu
settle up all costs and charges. Why,
bow well you all look! And Miss Abby
Sillier has actually grown yonng, and
Ursula's cheeks ate as pink as crape
myrtle. Yes. yes, Ursula, our old
dreams bave come true. I'vo made my
fortunr, and I've come back to marry
yon."

old people and Miss Miller,

While Grandfather Hall was. saying
the saino thing by tbe fireside,
"We shall keep Thanksgiving to-morrow,

uttered.
