All my life long had* I known Mary Moore—all my life long I had loved her. Our mother* were old playmates and first cousins. My first recollection is of a boy in a red frock and Morocco shoes, rocking a cradle, in which reposed a sunny haired, blue-eyed baby, not quite a year old. That boy was myself-—Harry Church; that blue eyed baby was Mary Moore. Later still I see myself at the little scliool house, drawing my little chaise up to the door, that Mary might ride home. Many a beating have I gained on such oc casions, for other boys besides me liked her, and she, I fear, was something of a flirt, even in her pinafores. How elegantly she came tripping down the steps when l~ cal led her name. How sweetly her blue eyes laughed ai me! How gaily rang out her merry laugh! That fairy laugh ! No one but Mary could ever bring her heart so soon to her lips ! 1 followed it through the heated noon of manhood —and now when the frosts of age are silvering my hair and many children climb on my knee and many call me father, 1 find that memories of youth are strong, and that even in grey hairs, I am following its music still. When i was fifteen, the first great sor row of ray life came upon me. I was sent to school and obliged to part with Mary. \\ e wore not to see each other for three long years. This to rae was like a sentence of death, fir Mary was like life itself to me. But hearts are tough things after all. 1 left college in all the flush and vigor of ray nineteenth year. I was no longer awkward and embarrassed. 1 had grown into a tall, slender stripling, with a very good opinion of myself, both in general and particular. If I thought of Mary Moore it was to imagine how 1 should daz zle and bewilder her still more. I was a coxcomb, but as youth and good looks have fled, 1 trust I may be delivered when 1 say that self conceit h:ts left me also. An advantageous proposal was made to me at this time, and accepting it, 1 gave up all idea of a profession, and 1 prepared to go to the Indies. In my hurried visit home I saw nothing of Mary Moore. She had gone to a hoarding school at some dis tance, and was not expected home till the following May. I uttered one sigh to the memory of my little blue-eyed playmate, and then called myself ' a man again.' 'ln a year,' 1 thought, as the vehicle whirled away from the door, ' in a year, or three years, at the very most, I will return and if Mary is as pretty as she used to be, why then perhaps, ! ma) marry her.' And thus 1 settled the future of a young lady whom 1 had not seen for four years. I never thought of the possibility of her refusing me, never dreamed that she would not condescend to accppt my offer. But now I know that had Mary met me then, slm would have despised me. Per haps in the scented and affected student, she might have found plenty of sporf.; but as to loving me or feeling the slightest inter est in me, I should have perhaps found I was mistaken. India was my salvation, not merely be cause of my success, but because my labo rious industry had counteracted the evil in my nature, and made me a better man. — \y hen at the end of three years I prepared to return, I said nothing of the reforma tion in myself which 1 knew had taken place. < They loved me as I was,' I murmured to myself, ' and they shall find out for j themselves whether 1 am better worth lov j ing than formerly.' I packed up many tokens from that land of romance and gold, for the friends L hop ed to meet. The gift of )Jary Moore I selected with a heating heart; it was a ring of rough virgin gold, with my name and heis engraved inside—that was all, and yet the sight ot the little toy strangely thrilled me as 1 balanced it upon the tip of mv little linger. J . ' u 'h© ©yes of others it was but a small circlet, suggesting thoughts, perhaps by its elegance, of the beautiful white hand that was to wear it. Hut. to me—how much was embodied thoro. A loving smile on a beautiful face—low words of welcome a future home, and a sweet smiling face—a group of merry children to climb my knee —all these delights were hidden within that little ring of gold. CHAPTER IT. fall, bearded, and sun bronzed, I knock ed at the door of my father's house. The light in the parlor windows and the hum of the conversation and thifc cheerful laugh ter, showed me that company were assem bled there. I hoped that my sister Lizzie would come to the door, and that I might greet my family when no strange eye was looking curiously out. Hut 110 —a servant answered ray sum mons. They were too merry in the parlor to heed the long absent one when he asked for admittance. A hitter thought like this was passing through my mind, as J heard the sounds from the parlor, and saw the halt suppressed smile upon the servant's face. I hesitated for a moment before I made myself known or asked after the family, and while 1 stood silent, a strange appari tion grew up berorc me. From behind the servant peered out a small golden head, a tiny, delicate face, with blue eyes, was up to mine—so like those of one who had brightened my boyhood, that I started back with a sudden feeling of pain. ' What is your name my little one V I asked, while the wondering servant held the door. She lifted up her head as if to shade her eyes, (I had seen that very attitude in another, in my boyhood, many and many a time.) and answered in a sweet bird-like voice, 1 Mary.' ' And what else!'' I said quickly. ' Mary Moore Chester/ lisped the child. My heart sank down like lead. Here was ai; end to all the bright dreams and hopes of my youth and manhood. Frank Chester, my boyish rival, who had often tried, and in vain, to usurp my place be side the girl, had succeeded at last, and had won her away from me. This was his child and Marv's! I sank, body and soul, beneath this blow, and hiding my face in ray hands, I leaned against the door, while ray heart wept tears of blood. The little one gazed at rae grie ved and amazed, and put up her pretty lip as if about to cry, while the perplexed ser vant stopped to the parlor door and called my sister out, to see who ft could be that conducted himself so strangely. I hoard a slight step and a pleasant voice saying: ' Did you wish to sec my father, sir ?' I looked. There stood a pretty sweet faced maiden of twenty, not much changed from the dear little sister I had loved so well. 1 looked at her for a moment, and then stilling the tuupilt of my heart by a mighty effort, I opened ray arms and said : ' Lizzie, don't you know rae?' 'llarry! Oh, my brother Harry?'she cried and threw herself upon my breast. She wopt as if her heart would break. There was a rush and a cry of joy, and then my father and mother sprang towards me, and welcomed me home with heartfelt, tears ! Oh, strange and sw„et i„ such a greet to the way worn wanderer!— And as 1 held my dear old mother to my heart, I grasped my father's hand while Lizzie still clung beside rae, I felt that all was not lost, and though another had secu red life's choicest blessings, many a joy re mained for me in this dear sinctuary of home. There weip four other inmates of the room who had risen on my sudden en trance. Que was the blue-eyed child whom I had already seen, and who stood beside Frank Chester, elingipg to his hand. Near by stood Lizzie .Moore, Mary's eldest sister, and in a distant corner, to which she hurriedly retreated when my name was spoken, stoqd a tall and slendep figure, half hidden by {he heavy window curtains that fell to the floor. When the first rapturous greeting was over Lizzie led me forward with a timid grace, and Frank Chester grasped my hand. 4 Welcome home, my boy!' lie said and with the loud cheerful tones I remembered so well. ' You have changed sp that I should never have known you ; but no mat ter for tl]at —your heart is in the right place I know.' 4 llow can you say he has changed V said my mother gently. To be sure he looks older and graver, and more like a man when he went away —but his eyes and smiles arc the same as ever! It is that heavy beard that changes him. Tie is my boy still.' 4 Ay, mother,' I answered sadly, 4 1 am your boy still.' Heaven help me! At that moment I felt like a boy, and it would have been a blessed relief to have wept, upon her bo som as 1 had done in my infancy. But I New Series—Vol. 11, No. 47. kept clown the beating of my heart and the tiemor of my lip, and answered quietly, as 1 looked in his lull, handsome face: ' Y u have changed too, Frank, but [ hope for the better.' 4 Oh, yes, thank you for the compliment,' he answered with a hearty laugh. 'MY wife tells me I grow handsomer every day.' His wife—conld I hear that name and keep silent still ? ' And have you seen my little girl,' he added lifting his infant in his arms, and kissing her crimson cheek. I tell you there is not such another in the world.— I >0:1 t you think she looks very much like her mother used to ?' ' Very much,' I faltered. ' Ilalloo !' cried Frank, with a sudden ness that made me start violently, ' I have forgotten to introduce you to my wife; I believe you and she used to be playmates in your young days—ah, Harry ?' and lie slapped me 011 the back, ' For the sake of old times, and because you were not here at the wedding, I'll give you leave to kiss her once—but mind old fellow you are never to repeat that ceremony. Coine, here she is, and I for once want to see how you will manage those ferocious moustaches of yours in the operation. He pushed Lizzie, laughing and blush ing towards nie. A gleam of light and hope, almost too dazzling to bear, came over me and I cried out before I thought: ' Not Mary!' I must have betrayed my secret to every one the room, but nothing was said — even 1-rank, in general so obtuse, was this time silent. I kissed the fair cheek of the young wife, and hurried to the silent figure looking out from the window. 1 Mary—Mary Moore,' said I, in a low eager voice, 4 have you no welcome to give the wanderer.' She turned and laid her hand on mine, and murmured hurriedly: 4 1 am glad to see j T ou here, Harry.' Simple words—and yet how blest they made me 1 I would not have yielded up that moment for an Emperor's crown! for there was the happy group, and the dear home fireside, and their sweet Mary Moore! The eyes I had dreamed of by day and night were fallen before the ardent gaze of mine; and the sweet face 1 had so long prayed to see. I never knew the meaning of happiness till that moment came! Many years have parsed since that hap py night, and the hair that was dark and glossy then is fast turning gray. lam growing to be an old man, and can look back to a long and happy, and I hope a well spent lite, —and yet, sweet as it has been, I would not recall a single day, for the love that made my manhood so bright, shines also upon my white hairs. An old man 1 Can this be so 9 At heart lam as young as ever. And Mary, with bright hair parting smoothl\- i'roui a brow that has a slight furrow upon it, is still the Mary of my early days. To me she can never grow old or change. The heart that held her in her infancy, and sheltered her in the flush and beauty of womanhood, can never cast her out till life shall eejiso to warm it. Nor even then— tor love still lives above. -1 Want in j —Co us Poisoned by WibL Cherry. —The Ohio Farmer reports that a man having occasion to cut down a small wild cherry tree, threw the branches over the fence into the road or common, and that two cows, alter eating the leaves, died within twenty minutes, and within fifty feet of the place. That Prussic acid is contained in the leaves, &c. of this tree, we were aware, but did not suppose it ex isted in sufficient quantity to produce such uffepts. Look for the lire Moth. —Those having bees and wishing to keep them and have "luck," must almost daily visit their hives, (early in the morning is the best time,) and tip them up on one side and destroy the worms which secrete themselves under the edges qf the hive. Unless this is care fully attended to, don't expect to be suc cessful in keeping bees —for they are the great enemy of the bee. Hints for the Season. —The weed well known as the " water pepper" or " smart weed," (polygonum hydropiper ,) which may now be found in abundance along ditches, roads, lanes and barnyards, is an effectual and certain destroyer of the bed bug. A strong decoction is made of the herb, and the places infested with the in sect well washed with it. The plant may also with much advantage be stuffed in the cracks and corners of the room. Elder berry leayes laid upon the shelves of a safe or cupboard, will drive away ants and roaches. Estate of Andrew Glass, deceased.
