Thero's a time tho proverb tells us
Tor all thtnis under tho sunt
Even so may bo proper seasons
For nood works to bo done,
And for ccod words to be said,
In tho fear lest I or yon
May miss the happy occasions,
Let us hero note down a lew,
When the trees are heavy with leaves,
When tho leaves He underfoot,
When fruit on the board Is frequent,
And while thore Is rlnd or root)
When tho rain comes down from the
heavens,
When the sun comes alter rain,
When the autumn fields are waving
With tho weight or golden gralnj
When tho hills are purple ijlth heather,
When the fells arc black with cold,
When the larches aro gay with their tassels
red,
When nuts are shrtvcl'tl and old;
Whenever there's growth In the sprtng-tlinc,
Or Juno closo follows May,
And so long as tho first of January
Happons on Now Year's dayj
When mushrooms In tplrnjrthe meadows,
Or toadstools under tho trees,
When the gnats gyrato In the sunshine,
When theouk-boughs strain In tho breozo :
In thodsys of the cuckoo and swallow,
When tho sea-gulls flee the foam.
Whin tho nlght-ar croons tn the gloaming,
Or tho owl goes silently homo ;
When the lako Is a placid mirror,
When tho mountains molt In mist,
When tho depths oftholako aro as pillars of
gold
On a floor of amethyst:
When rainbow spans tho morning,
When the thundor rends tho night,
When the snow on the hills Is rosy red
with the blush of tho wakening light)
When tho soul Is heavy with sadness,
When tho tears fall drop hy drop,
When tho heart Is glal as the heart of htm
Who climbs to a mountain lop;
When youth unrolls like a bracken-frond,
hon age Is grandly gray
As tho sldo of a cralg that Is riven and
ecarr'd
With the storms ef yesterday:
llellevo that in all of these reasons
Somo good may be done or said,
And whenover the loving thought and will
Are loving enough to wod;
And well Is it with the happy heart
That hath thoroughly understood
How tho"tlme for all thlngsunder the sun"
Is always the, time for good.
FOR HIS MOTHER'S SAKE.
Uuinarried nt tweuty-lwo. I was rich,
entirely my own mistress, nud consH
cred more than pretty; nud slill, iu spite
of many excellent opportunities to cbauga
my condition, I wns rapidly drifting on
lowards old-maidenhood; no wonder
penpla called me hard to please.
I had admirers and suitors In plenty;
where is the heiress who has nol? And
two men loved men.
I say "two men." Thero were many
who made professions, nud of whose siu
cerlty I have no means to judger hut
ll-.eso two I can answer for as lor myself,
nud I know they loved me.
Never were two people more tinlike
caou other, iu looks, iu taste.dispositiou,
temper, everything. It seemed the
strangest thinR iu tho world that Loth
should faucy me.
liven their resDective cironmslanees
and positions in life offered a striking
oontinst. Gtorpe llodferu was a wealthy
and influential banker, forty years of
r.Ro, Rrave, quiet and reserved in mau
tier, nud with an indisputable nnd envi
able standing in societi' a man afjainsl
whom no breath of reproach or blatno
had over stirred; while Hobert Dene
my Hobert, whom I loved was com
paratively poor, haying only his salary
nscoufldenlial clerk in tho Hodem bank
(out of which he supported u widowed
mother), nnd wns one of those merry,
cheerful, light-hearted fellows who
somehow perhaps from their love of
company and pleasure get the name of
being ' 'wild," without deserving it.
Certain it is that Hobert merited no word
of eyll. though thero was a time when it
looked otherwise,
Mrs. Dene had been my dear dead
mother's friend. Naturally I olteu went
to visit her. She was n great invalid,
nud hardly ever went out, except for nn
occasional quiet drive with her devoted
son, who idolized her; so much so that I
grew positively jealous.
For Hobert and I understood each
other, ns lovers will. Ho was very sen
sitive and high-minded. I thought, nt
first, that because I was an heiress he
would never speak the loye I knew he
felt, nud which 1 longed to hear; hut the
welcome declaration came at last.
And I hail Mr. Iledfern to thank for
it. I met him nt Sirs. Dene's cottage
one evening, when ho had stopped to
speak to Hobert on some Dusluess, hav
Ing chanced to see him in tho garden
ns he was ridiug pait.
I wftB at the window, leaning out, nnd
he saw me. I know, afterwards, that
that was the reason he astonished Robert
by ncccpting his invitation to come in.
lie was a very quiet retiring man. go
ing little into society, and bearing the
reputation of a confirmed old baohelor,
hut after that evening he changed.
I seemed to meet him everywhere He
made the acquaintance of people whom
I visited. He took to going to bajls,
theatres; operas; nnd when I had met
him n good many times, he requested
permission to call on me.
Hobert heard of it, aud grew jealous.
One eye ning he came to me, his dear
bandsonio f.co looking gloomy and sad
enouttb.
"Wo have been friends for years."
said he, "and I believe you like me well
enough to graut me a favor. I love you,
Kate, That's no news to you; is it?
Well, I never should have told you so
uovcr should hare asked you to become
my wife, because you are rich and I am
poor; but, my girl, I can't stand quietly
by and see another take what I'd have
died to win; so I want you to tell me
truly if you intend to marry Uedfern,
and If it's 'yes,' I shall go out of the
country, nud stay out uutil I can get
over it."
Ob. the happy girl I was when 1
heard hitn! The precious words I had
longed for were spoken at last. He
might have seen tho joy in my face, I
felt my cbeets burn, and my eyes grow
bright with happiness; but he kept his
face gloomily turned away.
S I stole up to him, half shy, hair
hold, all joyful, and slipped my hands
about bis arm.
"And oan you 'get over It,' do you
think?'' I asked demurely,
Ho looked at me then, and disengaged
his arm. He thought I was trifling with
his puiu, and was vexed at me.
jTtls is no ist with me.MIss Craven,
wbate'rer it may be to you," he said quite
sharply; "I did not expect that you
would make it one. Yes," very coldly,
"1 am not a love-sick feol. I do suppose
I shall get over it."
1 looked at him reproachfully. I felt
the tears spring to my eyes at his words
and tone.
"You don't love mo as I lovo yon,
then, Hobert," I said softly: "for If you
go away nud leave me so, I'm afraid I
never shall get over it.
"Oh. my darllnEl"
How quickly his face brightened as
he caught my hand.
"Yun say that, Kate? You mean It?
You dou't love Rudfern you won't
marry him?"
"I love you," I answered, as his dear
arms clasped mo close) "aud you only
ill I marry,"
And so wo were engaged. And Hobert
drove me over to the cottage, there aud
then, to tell his mother,
' She will be so pleased," he said. ''I
believe that she suspeoted my feelings.
But I would not confide them to her, lest
the fear of disappointment aud pain to
me Rhould distress her.'"
How ho loved lierl A little jealous
pang shot through my foolish heart,
"I fear yon lovo her best," I said Im
pulsively. "Aly darling,' he said half chidingly,
"otio docs not measure or compare such
sacred loves; each aud both Is 'dearojt.'
Hut my mother suffers from au affection
of the heart. Any nuxiety or palu
must injure her, uud a sudden shock
would kill."
And then H was I first understood
rightly his devoted euro ol her, n care in
which, from that hour. I shared.
Next day Mr. Iledfern proposed to
me. My heart, in spile of its own hap
piness, nched for the bitter pain ho
showed when I told him I was engaged
already.
"I had set my every hope on you I
canuot give you upl'' he cried, with nn
Intensity of passion that Btarlled me.
"Oh, child, haye mercy on mei Think
again give mo time. I am richer than
yon think; if you aro ambitious"
I interrupted him.
"I nm not; I have wealth enough, and
covet ouly happiness. 1 thall marry
Hobert Dene, the man I love."
His faco was white as death.
'iou shall not marry him!'" he said
with a deep and bitter outh, "Never,
while I live! I swear it"
And he rushed out of my presence
liko a madman, leaving me shocked,
frightened, perpltxed.nnd with n strange
sad cloud upon my happlue.ss.
I said nothing about it toHobcrt.how
over. His relations with his employer
ooutimied pleasant, ns usual; and I did
not feel justified iu disturbing them . I
felt surprised wheu he told that Mr.
Iledfern had himself congratulated him,
aud made some slight but graceful al
lusion to the disnpuointment to himself;
but I concluded to kenp silence still.
What was the U6e of creating ill will be
tweeu them?
"Probably," I thought, "Mr. Redfern
regrets his Intemperate warmth and
foolish words, and takes thip method to
let mo know of it."
Aud I thought it a very good method
too iufluituly pleasanlcr than a person
al npology.
fio the time Hew swiftly bv. nnd I had
begun the preparations for our marriage,
aim our engagement was understood
everywhere, wheu the storm which in
stinct had warned me of from the mo
ment In which I had heard that hitter
threatening oath, burst suddenly.
It was evening, uud Robert aud t were
sitting together, talkinu such sweet non
sense, ns lovers will. We wero aloue,
save for au aunt who resided with me,
and had lulleu asleep iu her casy chair.
wheu suddenly aud uncercmouiusly the.
uoor was auug open wiae, auu tnree
men entered.
Two of them were officers. The in
dignation which their rude entrance
caused gave phco to sickening fenr
when l saw the third Cleorgo Hedrern)
He lixed his hollow, burning eyes up
on nm. liven in timt moment of excite
ment I was sensibls of a shocked sur
prise nt the strange change in him since
last we met,
"Men, do yonr duty," he aaid briefly.
Tho next moment Robert was under
arrest.
I don't know what I said nr did in the
first horror of it. I remember clingiug
around Roberts neck, nnd being pulled
away br auntie, I think and some ono
askiug, "What's the charge against
ninir men came the stern nnswer Iroin
George Redferu's lips: "Robbery!"
With that word my senses came back
to me. I tore myself from auntie's arms
and dew to my lover's side.
"It's a lie!" I cried, looking straight
Into Hodfern's face. "He is iutmceuti"
Robert turued grateful troubled eyes
upon me.
"God bless jon, my true love!" he
murmured s-idly.
And then Hedfern's stern low voice
broke In again;
' 'Men, search hinil''
I saw it done. I saw them draw forth
n roll of notes ten of twenty-five
pounds each, nnd forming a larger sum
than Hobert could have come by right
ly, I heard INdferu identify them as
his own, nnd declare that none but Hob
ert had access to the safe or vault, Aud
then I heard Hobert cay, with a moan of
ugony:
"Ob, God! My motherl"
I understood it all. I stepped up to
Georgo Uedfern, and looked iu his faco.
''Come with me into another room,"
I said. "I will mako a bargain with
you. Let your men remain with their
prisoner here." And he obeyed me.
When we were nloue, I said passion
ately: "Mr. Redfern. yon are a villain! You
have plotted to separato me from the
man I love, and blast his reputation.
You shall fail iu both. You know that
be is innocent."
He answered quietly:
"1 am not hi, judge, Miss Craven.
Ho bin self w ill toll you that 1 plaood
those notes in tho safe in his presence,
and that no ono has sinco had access tn
it but himself. An hour ngo I missed
them. You saw where they were found.
Let the law decide tho rest."
I wrung my hands iu agony.
"The law!' I cried. "Man, do yon
not know be has n mother whom such a
charge will kill? Will you be a mur
derer?" He caught mr hand,
"No," he said hoarsely. "It Is you
not I. Yon murder two of us, his moth
er wheu she teams the story of bla
guilt, from which you could tavo her
and me you murder mel for tho hour
that see you marry hint sees me a
corpse."
I snatched my band away.
"I will marry blm," I cried, "if the
whole world calls hiin guilty!''
He auswered quietlyi
And kill bis mother?"
What could I do? Turn ns I would,
he brought me back to that a last.
Tho ton's imprisonment on a shameful
charge, and probable condemnation
for the plot was carefully laid would
kill his mother.
So I accepted the alternative he of
fered I promised not to marry the
mau I loved during the (Hotline of the
man I hated.
"Never while I live." he said.
That was my oath, and I have kept it.
We went back together. George Red
fern formally withdrew the ohargo bo
had made, nud gave one of the uotes to
each officer as a bribe for silence.
Ko Robert nnd I were parted, and his
mother's life was haved.
And the world wondered, and called
mo coquette, tnd "hard to please;" and
a year went by and found ci tweutyUwo
unmarried still Robert's true loye
still aud miserable.
How many times had I seen George
Redfern during that yoniT Moro than n
hundred times. He had cotno to mo
praying, pleading for love oh, how
vainly! Olton as I saw him, though, I
noted how ho changed so terribly so
rapidly! Worn almost to a shadow
Vale, with all tho lifo in him seeming to
ur cemerea in ins Durning eyes. They
seemed lit with the flres of madness.
i'oor Georgo Redfern! If would be
uard if I should not give him pity who
gave me so mucn lovo.
The end came suddenly. One win.
ter's night a messenger summoned tho
iwo whom be had wronged to his bed
.side. He was dying,
Just the same as ever strange.abrupt,
balf.orazed. Ho took Roberta hand
without uotlcing me, aud stared luto his
eyes.
"I've brought you pain and sorrow,
liBvcu't I? Ah, that's nothing! You have
brought me down to death. T loved
that woman loved her. Ah, Heaven,
that doesn't express ltl I became a vll
lain lor her sake. I liked yon, Robert,
I meant to mako you partner somo day.
Kate," turning suddenly towards me,
"you know I took tho notes out of the
safe. No matter; I've made amends
I'm dying, and Robert Dene is my heir."
It was truo. Wo remained with him
till the last. Iu the cold quiet morning
bo was cold and quiet too at rest.
"You may marry her very soon," he
snld in dying, "hut not while I live."
"Poor Georgo Redfern! He loved mo
well. I wrtlcd tho sprinR daisies on his
grave with tears before I took the free
dom that his death had given. After
that I laid sorrow by and married Rob
ert. Ho was rich now, and his mother to
this day believed it was n lovers' quarrel
that kept ns apart so long. Better so,
for thus the memory of the man who
konght to blast our lives, nnd lost bis
own, is spared. And we can spare him
in his grave, aud pity, loo.
For my life's romance had a blissful
ending, and I am a happy woman after
all.

A WOMAN'S ADVENTURE.
VI EBLN E. 11EXF0HP,
Yon'vo heard I had nnlto n little ad
venture boy? Well, f did. I don't care
to nave anotner like it, you may be sure.
I've often heard of moments of terror.
hut I know now how one feels when he
looks danger If not doath square in
the faco.
Hhall I tell you about ll? I've got just
about time to, before John comes home
to Bnpper.
John, yon know, was foreman of the
night-hauda iu tho factory--was, I say
for be has given up tbe placo now, He
went to tho factory at six o'clock at
nlght,nnd came hoineat MX iu the morn
ing, It was lonesome for mo to stay at
homo nlone, or tbo same as alone ; for
the little oue, though she's lots of com
pany, wasn't large enough to bo ot any
help Iu tlmo of need.
I never was alraid of burglars or
Ihleves, because, you Bee, wo hain't any
thing I thought a burglar would caro to
take, so I felt safe ; nnd then vo didn't
hear as much about thieves and tramps
then ns we do now. Not beiug afraid,
I was willing to stay nlone, though John
used to coax: mo to let him get a boy or a
big dog.
Hut I didn't want to be bothered with
either of 'em. I told him I'd rather run
the risk of burglars, though I don't sup
pose cither of us ever really thought
there was any risk lo run. I'm sure 1
didn't.
One day a friend of John's who'd been
at work a good while in tho factory, aud
was n prudent, saving ftllow.got tired of
that kind of life, aud said he was going
to qnit It, aud look about to see if ho
couldn't find a little farm somewhere
that ho coild buy with tbo money ho had
saved,
I knew what that meant. There wns a
smart girl iu tho factory that he had
taken a fauoy to, and she liked him, and
they were going to be married ns soon as
he bad found n homo to take her to.
Well, he brought his money to us. and
wanted wc should keep it for him till he
was ready to use it. There were over hix
huudrcd dollars. John told him he'd
better put It lu tbo hank ; but he said ho
calculated to use it right away, and he
guessed it would be as safe with us as if
ho put it iu the hank.
Bo ho left it, aud John put it in the
lelt-band till or that old bine chest that
yon see in the corner there, I shall
always think! the man was looking iu at
the wiudow nnd saw John when he put
It there Hut. there! I'm getting ahead
of my story!
Ono night John went off to tho factory
aud left tnv alone, as usual. It was dark
aud 3torrur. The wind blew in great
gusts, aud kept tho lilac-bushes tap, tap,
tapping against the wiudow as if some
ouo was tryin to get iu. It made me
nervous aud fidgety to hear them.
Tho little ono was about two years old,
and such youngsters get asleep early, you
know. About eight o'clock I undressed
her aud put her to bed. I sat up n
couple of hours nfter that, to finish a
pair of socks for John. By tho time I'd
gottbem doue, I was sleepy, too, nud I
went to bed, I went to sleep, aud must
have slept about two honrs.tor tbo clock
was striking twelve when I woke up.
I heard a slop in the hall. At first I
thought maybe thero'd been a break
down at the factory, and John bad come
home. Hut it sounded different from
John's step ns I listened heavier and
slower, and it roused me, and set me to
wondering about who it was, and how ho
had got into the house. Hut I can't say
that I was frightened auy nt first. May be
I wasn't nwako enough to bo scare.).
At first I thought I'd call out and ask
whit was wanlod, but I didn't. I don't
know why, though. I just kept still and
wailed to see what was going to happen.
The step canio to the door, aud then I
beard a hand on tho knob and it was
turned as quietly as possible, and the
door wns pushod open very catuiously
As the door opened a light shono into
tno room, nud i knew it was some one
who had a lantern with him.
You can be sure I was scared (hen. I
was so scared that I couldn't stir, nor
scream. 1 just lay still and looked out
ot tne least uit ot n crack in my eyelids.
A great burly fellow that I recognized,
tho moment ho nut his faco into the
room, as a man who had been at work lu
the mill, came in, nnd held up his lan
tern so tbe light could sulno ou me.
I shut my eyes tight then. He came
up close to the bed, nnd stood and
watched me for a tittle while to make
sure 1 was asleep, I suppose.
I could feel the light on my faoe. Ob,
it was terrible! I didn't dare to movo n
muscle. I was In agony for fear the
child would wake up, I've no doubt he
would bnve killed us.
I tell you, you've no idea what a trial
it is to lie still and be in mortal tour,
tbluking every minute may be your last
and knowing that your only chaucs
for life nepeuds on keepiuc nuiel.
It seemed toma as if he stood there and
watched me for an hour.
Ryand by beseemed to be satisfied that
I was fast iiblccp, for be lowered the
lantern and went toward the old blue
chest. I breathed easier wheu he left
the bed; and opened my ejes just the
least tut, 10 watcn mm.
I saw him bend over tbe cbost aud try
several Keys lu tue lock before lie found
one that would unlock it, and he opeucd
the chest.aud began to look tbrouch the
till where I bad put Hen Green's money.
I'retly soon he found it under somo
pieces of cloth, and he took it out nnd
counted it over before he put it iu his
pocket.
You can't imagine how I felt when 1
saw what he was after, for I knew what a
lerribld loss it would bo to Hen, who'd
wcrked long and hard for it.
It was as much as I coald do to keep
from screamlug.but I kuew that wouldn't
help matters any, and it would make
I uem ull tno worso for me. loo l Kent
still.
Well, after he had put tbo monev in
bis pocket, be shut tbo chest, and then
looked at me to see if I was htill asleep.
at hen lie had saiuued nlmseir that 1
was, he turned away, aud I supposed he
would go directly out of the bouse, but
he went toward tbe eellar door, and
opened it, and stood looking down the
stairs.
Quick as a cat. and about as still. I
spriug out of bed, and before you could
have counted ten; I bad crossed tbe
room and sprnngagalust him with a push
that sent him tumbling down tho ucllar
htairs, nud then swung the groat thick
door together nud slipped iu the boils.
I kcew I bad him safe then, for a while
anyway, for there sos uo way to get out
of the cellar except through that door.
My! but bow that mau did curse and
rave! It made my blood run cold to hear
him. Hut I didn't stop to listen. I
hurried on my clothes and took the
baby, and wrapped her up well, aud
started (or the factory,
I found John and told blm my story,
and half-a-dozen men started for the
House at once. Aud they'd cot the man
tied up with a rope by the time I got K
nere.
He looked nt me as if he wished he'd
killed me. I'm sure he did.

I notice some people pray as though
