A CHILD'S TEAR.
"My home yes, It's bright and clean, sir.
And 111 tell bow It came to pass";
It twsu't my work or doing at all
u s an one 10 inai nine lass.
"1 was going straight down to hell, sir,
And nil through" the curse of the drink;
How I treated poor Mary, my wife, sir,
O01I knows 1 eilli't beaftn think.
"I didn't know as I loted her
Till the wild dalk night she died,
When I found her lying so cold nnd still.
And that new-born child by her side.
"The little lass, she has grown, sir
Last June she was eight years old;
And what she has been to me, sir,
Can never 011 enrth bo told.
"When a kid, lliere was 110 one, tnjyiliid her
Uut a woman iiwjjved next doo$?f'
Andshejielng'glven to drink, tod,
hti her fAll one day on the floor.
"Ajul e er since, tlio Jioor creator'
lias bceiilitmo with a erookei) knee
So I'd often lift her tip In my arms,
To take her about with me. '
'Tor 1 really loved the poor lulte, sir,
And her sweet little eyes of blue
Was as blue, and as bright as her mother's wor.
And they looked 1110 through and through.
"One night I was oil to the 'public'
I'd been di Inking already 'twas late,
And I took little Mav to carry her,
Hat I couldn't walk unite straight.'
" 'Oh, daddy, don't go!' she whispered,
Hut I iptlckened my drunken pace,
And I saidi 'Not another word, young 'un.
Or I'll give you a slap in the face.
"1 was Ittutnl, sir l know It 1
Hut the devil was In 1110 then.
And when he gets hold of us with thiMlrlnk
Wo aic only brutes-nut men.
"And the little lass, she wor ipilet, '
Hut I felt a hot tear fall;
And It seemed to burn right Into my hand,
Though she wiped It oft with her shawl.
"Straight luto lnysoul It entered-
U melted my hardened heart;
So I said : 'I'll go home, lassie."
That night I made a new start.
"Now, every morning and evening,
I kneel, and witli a heart sincere
I bless my Ood for saving a soul

A.Little Village Maid.
11V ALICK DALE.
It would bo illfllcult to determine why
Eloiso Kendall entered Into a matnage en
gagement with Lewis Burral.
She was not yet twenty, and ho was long
past thirty.
She was beautiful as a dream, delicate as
a flower, and as blithesome as a wild bird.
"Ilo was unhandsome, gaunt and muscn-
lar, and of manner stern and reserved.
Klolso had never fancied she loved hhn:
In fact, the magic word had neyer been
spoken between them.
intliout any Impassioned professions of
sentiment, ho had asked her to bo his wife,
and without any unwonted thrill of her
heart she had assented.
Perhaps lovely little Eloiso considered
tho engagement, as something preordained
for her.
rcrhaps sho felt a certain pride In being
tlio aiuauccd of the richest, tho most hon
ored, and tho most Influential man in the
small village which bonnded her humble
world.
Perhaps there was an Irresistible fasciua
tlou in tho prospect of being mistress over
tho line old stone mansion on the hill over
looking the modest dwellings of tho pictur-
rsquo streets below, the store, the shops,
ami oven tho church Itself.
That she had a high esteem for her be
trothed was undeniable; that she had some
teal lilting for him was equally so.
In Ills quiet and reserved fashion ho had
been her kindly counselor andunfailina
champion fiom her earliest childhood.
Sho had learned to regard him as a pleas.
ant fixture ana necessity of her cxlstcnco:
sho had nover questioned herself what life
micht bo without him. Her family regard-
ct' tho engagement only as a natural and
expected state of affairs; and theiroplnions
coincided with her own.
Uut her heart had slept, only to bo awak
cued with a pang of hitter discontent when
handsome Carrol Vandervon appeared upon
tho scene.
Mr. Vanderyoii was an decant and arls
tocratlc young gentleman from tho city, and
was a summer guest of ono of tho villagers,
no declared himself surfeited with fashion'
able excitements; ho preferred tho rest and
qulctudo of tho plcturesquo rustic retreat to
all the socUl charms which Newport or tho
uatskills could offer bint,
lie was fond of angling, and tho deep,
pellucid pond behind the ruined old mill up
tho shadowy creek, aiforded him excellent
opportunities to indulge in his lavorite
pastime.
And It was there ono fateful morning he
met beautiful Llolse, tripping blithely over
iho dowy mosses, her broad straw hat fall-
lug back from her long, golden curls, her
ilttlo hands full of wild flowers no sweeter
nor tnoro delicate than her own fair face.
At an opening among the trees at a turn
In tho path, she stopped with a surprised
blush and a startled, girlish exclamation.
Ileforo her, so near sho had almost
stumbled upon him, reclined tho half-sleep-litg
angler an Adonis with crisp black
curls clustering above classically-cut fea
tures of patrician pallor, his lazy black eyes
unclosing with a flashing smllo ot admira
tion at tho fair vision which hafl so sudden
ly appeared before his sight.
I beg pardon " said he, arising miickly
and gallantly touching his hat.
It Is I who should do that; for see, vou
aro losing your lino; it is going up stream
with the fish you caught," Eloiso said
simply.
It Is going with tho Ibh I haven't
caught," ho laughed.
The laugh made them friends at once,
With merriment rippling in music from
her coral Hps, tho little villagu maid sprung
after tho fugitive line, and together they
landed tho game.
"O, what a beauty! Wouldn't grandpapa
be delighted with ono like that!" Elolse
exclaimed Innocently.
Tour grandpapa shall have It." Mr.
Vandervon declared promptly and gallant
ly. "And In return you will give me bunch
of your protty white violets."
Sho gavo him the violets, and blushed
rod as the wild roses rustling on the bank

Eloiso never paused to wonder how it was
they happened to meet with 'such strange
frequency afterward.
Sho was so innocently pleased when ho
chanced to ovcrtako her on her errands
about tho village or in her rambles after
wild, blossoms or tho berries beginning to
ripen in the delicious nooks along tho shin
lng stream ! and sho was too Inexperienced
too lacking in vanity to fancy that his eyes
and footsteps sought her ever and as unci
rlngly as tho magnet seeks the star.
Sho only know that since -their fateful
meeting tho whole world was changed to
her, that sho was no longer content will
her simple, surroundings, that her soul was
stirred with a fierce craving for something
different than had been her birthright,
Her slcepiin; heart had been awakened
and In these strango new dreams and
yearnings, sho deemed she had learned tho
lesson of loylng.
- At least that was tho fancy UatTol Van
ucrvon's meaning wwspcrs and adoring
glances had taught Iter.
"Of course I can never marry dear old
Lewis now," sho would think with misty
eyes nnd burning checks. "And ho won'
grleyo so yery muck, I am sure. He isn1
llko Carrol so tender, so loving, so true!
And besides, ho can't give me a splendid
lifo among cay, grand people such a life
as Carrol can paint so well and eloquent
ly."
It was but natural, perhaps, that sho
should bo flattered and Impressed by hand'
some, persuasive Mr Vandervon's glowin;
descriptions of his city homo and life.
. It had never occurred to her that a simple
villago maid might be Illy suited for a lifo
amid the splendor and grandeur "unto
which 6he was not born" that she might
fade and pine, neglected and forgottcn.llko
lier girt of white violets which long aco had
been consigned to dust and oblivion by tho
fascinating Carrol Vanderyoii.
The .only cloud upon her dazzling new
happiness was her engagement, lo Lewis
Hurrah
Some instinct warned her that her be
trothed, even though he should release her,
would Interpose a stern judgment against
tier elegant new lover.
And he has so mucli influence with
grandpapa," sho sighed. "If he should
argue the matter, grandpapa might nover
consent to what we would' wish, Carrol."
"Wo will forestall anything of that kind
by a marriage first and explanations after
ward," Carrol answered plausibly, In his
fondest tones. lPo will have our mom.
lscd sail in your grandpapa's pretty Ilttlo
new boat In tho morning; we- will start
early and go down tho lake; we will stop at
the last landing, where Is a railway connec
tion; we will take the train from there.and
before sunset you will bo my wife."
"To-morrow?" murmurcd!Etoise,startl(;d
by an arrangement so readily aud iiupctu
ously planned.
"I was to leave to-morrow, auvwav, you
know, my pet," he answered, "I think I
mentioned that my mother and her party
1 will stop hero on their way from Saratoga
in a few days; tlioy ptoposc dragging mo
away with them on their round of summer
excitements. I must avoid them if I would
escape their importunities."
"Hut you would return?" Elolse said
faintly, with on uneasy heart and unsteady
lips.
"l prefer taking you with me, my little
wild flower, and bringing you back my
bride my own beyond tho power of any
other coming between us," ho returned, in
his most pcrsuaslvo tones, with his mcs
meric eyes Ilxcd pleadingly upon her beau
tiful, Irresolute face.
In after years Elolse could nover recall
that moment without 11 shudder.
Sho was like ono upon whom had been
wrought some spell of sorcery; her will was
no longer her own; aud tho stronger will
held her, like a sepent-ehariuedblrd, rcluc
tant and yet fluttering helplessly into its
power.
And so she yielded lo the pleadings and
persuasions of her new lover.
The dew was yet sparkling on tho grass
when S.I10 left the pretty village cottage and
.went down to tho tiny landing where tho
little sail-boat was moored, Its snowy sail
and frcshly-palcted lines gleaming like
thoso of some fairy craft in the golden
morning sunshine.
Hut sho no longer tripped along with
buoyant feet and "heart as light as air."
An unfamiliar sense-of dread aud wrong-
doing had blanched tho delicate face be
neath the broad straw hat; there was 11
shrinking and tremulous something In uvcry
motion of tho lovely figure, very unllko Its
wonted free and blithesome, grace.
Even handsome Carrol Vandervon's fas
cinating presence and tender gaycty had no
power lo bring back tho color to her palo
cheeks, and the light to her troubled eyes.
In his own radiant mood.ho never noticed
her strango pallor aud abstraction.
"Our train Is nearly duo; we haven't long
to wait," said bo glancing at his watch as
they reached tho lauding at the further end
of the lake.
He had lowered tho snowy sail, tlio boat
was drawn alongside theplcr,and he turned
to assist Elolse up tho plank.
lor one second tho girl turned her whito
face toward tho green hill looming In tho
hazy distance above the shining waters of
tho lake; and In that bccond some Instinct
warned her she was leaving homo and han-
lucss forever behind her.
She hcsltatod, shivered aud then, as If
helplessly, yielded herself (o. his guidance.
He escorted her to the parlor of a hotel
directly across the track from tho station;
and at that Instant an express cahie rushing
up to the platform, camotoastandstlll.and
a crowd of passengers alighted.
Several entered the hotel parlor, and
among them kloisu noted two ladies who
started In smiling surprise as they chanced
to obierye Mr. Vaudcrvon.
"Mother Edith!" he ejaculated, uudor
his breath, his classic features suddenly
crimsoned; his flashing eyes expressing
something like dismay and chagrin.
And then, without a glauco or a syllable
of apology xi Elolse, he crossed the room,
stepped between them, took an arm of each
and led them out unou the veranda,
Elolse watched them with natural girlish
interest, and sho felt some disappointment
in tho appearance of her elegant lover's
mother.
The lady was of luslgulUcaut stature aud
excessively stout; hcrplaln features seemed
to portray a hard and haughty nature; her
whole aspect was distinctly the reverse of
thu graid and gracious dame Elolse dad
pictured in imagination,
The girl Edith 'was a stately blonde,
showily dressed, and quite as haughty of
air ns was U16 elder lady.
As Eloiso watched them tiie moments
were lengthening into what seemed lo her
an interminable time.
At last tho three turned to move awuy,
Had Carrol forgotten her? was lie going
to lcavo her lliero in" that crowd of pushing,
hurrying strangers quite alone?
She was unnerved with all the excitement
and Hgltation of tho occasion, and the fear
held for her something nkli: to terror.
Without pausing lo reflect, she stalled
Impulsively forward.
"Carrol!" she called tremulously.
The elder lady glanced around curiously,
"Soino ono wlsh.es to speak to you." she
said to her son.
Carrol turned uneasily.
"It Is about tho train,' gasjiod Eioise,
not knowing what to say.
"Vou had better iuqulre at tho olllee;
they will tell you there about the trains."
answered her elegant lover, showing not
tho slightest sign of recognition, and speak
ing coldly as If to a stranger,
Eloiso staggered back as if from a blow,
and shrunk from their sight behind .the
curtain of a veranda window.
"Who was the ugly little rustic in the
broad hat and starched lniislln?" the state
ly blondo queried. "She knows you; sho
called your name."
"She has tho advantage of mo," Elolse
heard her lover answer as coolly and calmly
as if he were not speaking falsely.
"I am afraid you havebeeu fllrtlngagalii
Carrol,' his mother remarked, with a com
prehensive, hard little laugh. "That little
rustle looked unutterable things; Edlth.nn
loye, you will be obliged to keep a sharp
cyo on your future husband."
"I am not jealous at least, not in thi
case. I have a more flattering opinion of
carrors taste," tho stately blonde replied
wltli a contemptuous curl of her haughty
ups.
Eloiso had heard every cutting word, had
seen every stinging smile.
And at that instant tho scales fell from
her lovely, foolish eyes; the charm was
snapped, tho spell broken.
It was tho crisis of her life; aud lu that
moment of tlmo the simple village maid
was changed to a discerning and reflective
woman, strong to decide for the right and
to suffer the penaltv of her wronc doluc
Carrol Vandervon no doubt loved her in
his own selfish way; he meant to be hon
orablc, perhaps, according to his lights.but
sho know his love and honor would never
withstand tho demands and sneers of his
own social sphere.
At length he succeeded in ensconcing tho
two ladies in a private parlor, and then ho
returned lo Eioise.
I do not wonder you ure tired waiting,
my pet; thoy kept moan unconscionable
time, but thev haven't spoiled our arrauee-
mcnis after all; aud here Is.our train," ho
said just as confidently aud fondly as if a
moment beforo he had not repulsed her
coldly, like a stranger.
"lour place Is bcsldo theyoum: ladvubo
claims you as her future husbaud," Eloiso
returned nrmly. "I shall return to grand
papa."
Mr. Carrol Vandervon stared iucredul
ously and with rising auger. An Irritated
ejaculation burst from his lips, an uucom-
pliineutarv allusion lo Lewis Burral.
I shall tell Lewis everything the whole
truth," said quietly. "I do not expect him
to forgive me I do not deserve it. I know
now that ho is dearer lo me than auy other
ever nas been or ever can be; the knowledge
is my punishment.
"ihese arc hut idle words, you have
promised to be mine, I love you and I will
not giyo you up," declared Carrol, paling
to tno lips, and laying a hand upon her arm.
to lead her away.
She stepped back indignantly, and at tho
moment lifted her eyes to utter a little cry
01 scared astonishment.
Closo beside her stood Lewis Uurral him
self. Somo lucky chance had brou rbt Iiini
there at that eventful moment, and while
loitering at tho threshold lie had seen the
two and heard tho words they had spoken.
As liloiso looked at him through her
blinding tears, ho no longer seemed to her
aunt and unhandsome.
Ills stern rcservo had slipped from him
like an iron armor, disclosing him beautiful
as a god In his noblo. compassion, In tho
tenderness of the gret and loyal lovo ho
bore her.
He opened his faithful arms to her, and
she crept into them, sobbing like a wearied
child.
"Tills is your shelter now and always,
my Ilttlo white dove, my tender wild-flower,"
he said in a volco broken with emo
tion, "I love you just the same, my dar
ling. Your love for mo will not bo your
punishment, for you aro pardoned and wo
shall be just as happy as if your brief error
had never been."
,V moment later us they recalled them
selves to their surrouudlugSgthey discovered
that Carrol Vandervon had vanished.
"Perhaps It Is better so," that elegant
young gentleman was thinking as he made
his way back to his arlstociatlc mother's
pailor. '
It was better so for the little village maid
at all events.
And on the whole rouud earth there is
no wife more devoted nor contented than
beautiful Elolse, whose wedding with loyal
Lewis llunal was celebrated a few montks
afterward.
