Where Spring first

Where Summer's fingers Ppeued, fold on
fold,
The odorous. wild, red rose's Road• now burn
The leaves of gold,r
The loftiest hill—the lowestirtwerlng herb
The fairest fruit of season a$ of time—
All wear alike the mood of tloWerlt
Autumnal clime.
Now Nature pours her last ands noblest wine,
Like some Bacchante ; b the singing
streams
Reclines enchanted day, wra Iv divine,
Impassioned dreg J
But where the painted leaves m Llllng fast,
Among the vales, beyond thelEthest hill,
There sits a shadow—dim. and lad. and vast,
And lingers still.
And still we hear a voice amen: to hills,
A voice that moans anion; he haunted
woods,
And with the mystery of sorrow alls
For while gay Autumn gilds the !tilt and leaf,
And (loth her fairest festal gar eats wear,
Lo ! Time, all noiseless, in his Ighty 6 heaf,
Binds up the yrati-
Th. 3 mighty sheaf which never Ij umbouud
The reaper whom your souls beseech In vain--
The loved, lost year, which never k ay be found,
Or loved again.

York, to put into that great, hurrying,
driving, jostling market the modest
wares she had to offer.
Martie was eager, and full of hope;
but alas I how much eagerness and
hopefulness go down to death every
day, in the frantic rush and scramble
for the good things going. Martie in
the great city, looking for work to do,
seemed like a quiet little wren trying
to pick up a worm or a crumb where
hawks and ;Attired were snatching
and pawing for plunder. We shall
see how the little wren fared.
Martie was met the moment she
stepped from the cars by an old friend
of the family, who had kindly prom
ised to receive her at her house, and
cio what she could to assist her. The
next day, early in the morning, a
sauciest, unpretendtng little advertise
ment was sent to one of the daily
newspapers. What a stupendous affair
it twined to Martie, and how her un
sophisticated little heart beat as she
thought of it. Nothing could come of
it that .clay, however, and while she
goes out with Mrs. Allen to do a little
shopping, and stare at a few of Ihe
city lions, let us look at the quarters
she had fallen into.
Mrs. Allen kept a small private
boarding house, very select and very
!genteel. Its inmates were the learned
Professor Bigwig and family, from

mosphere; the brilliant Brigadier
(General 13°re:tot, hero—according to
his own account—of numberless bat
ai!es ; a rising young lawyer, with his
;pretty, blushing girl-wife, all fresh
amid lovely in heruew bridal toilette;
:a rich widow and her still richer
'daughter, who, it was said, was soon
to become the helpmate of tme clerical
anember of the household. the Rev.
Vali! _Arollos; and last, ...ugh not
least, the represt Motive of the tine
erts, Raymond, an artist who.°
pictures had won golden praise from
critics and connoisseurs, and golden
prices from purchasers.
Mr. Raymond was Alarile's left
hand neighbor at the table. With the
first glance at his dark face, iron-gray
hair and moustache, and deep-set gray ,
eyes, she colt rather inclined to be
afraid of him. When lie smiled, she
liked him I.etter. and thought the gray
eyes looked kind; and as she felt very
shy and lonesome among all these
strange faces, she was glad to have
s tneath the him talk a little to her, awl take care
:
that she was provided with all she
Wanted.
On the second twinning after her ar
rival in the city, Martie's advertise
ment appeared. Mrs. Allen sent a pa
per up to her room before she was out
of bed, so that almost as soon as she
was awake tier hopes ran high, and
yet she felt afraid, and wondered if,
out of the many people who she sup
posed would come to see her, any one
of them would think well enough or
her to want her services.
Martie was very painstakilw with
her toilet that mornit.g. She wanted
to look tier best. She spent twico the
usual time over her wavy, goht-brown
hair; and when She had pat on her
pretty gray dress—the gray dress wits
for mornings, and 11w black silk for
afternoons—and fastened the dainty,
spotless collar end cull's, she dallied
fully five minutes (Nor her little stock
of ribbons, trying this one and that,
and went at last to breakfast, looking
to Mr. Raymond's artist eyes, which
took her in at a glance, like a wild
rose just out of a thicket, with the
dewy morning brightness brimming
in her brown eyes, the pink of rose
petals in her cheeks, anti soft, warm,
shimmering sunbeams woven into the
fipples of her brown hair. flow his
tist fingers did long for canvass and
colors, to give to his beloved St. Agnes
that beautiful hair!
But the wild rose might as well have
been blooming in her native thicket.

ed over into her teacup.
"There's no cause for diseourage

Raymond. "I know people who
would not find fault with you on that
score."
Then he went on talking to her in
such a pleasant way that she soon be
came interested, forgot her troubles
and the tear in her teacup, and was as
merry as though she had been older
and had known German.
Mr. Rayn►ond staid down stairs un
til ten o'clock, read aloud an old-time
fireside story, and kept the ball of con
versution rolling in such pleasant
channels that the evening was gone
before Marne knew it, and in spite Of
all her disappointment it had some
hrw been the pleasantest one she had
spent there.
The next morning a lady came to
see Martie in behalf of her mother-in
law, who lived an hour's ride by
steamboat up the Hudson, and Martie
engaged to go up the tellowing day
and see the place and people.
Ah. that delicious hour's journey up
the river ! a river of enchantment,
with the dreamy autumn haze still
brooding over it, and soft winds Just
ruffling its surface and floating up to
Martie - with a whisper and a caress.
On shore all the enchantment van
ished. There was no poetry about
Mrs. Myrick. She was pure, unadul
terated prose; wanted her girls to
have a good, strong eddication—no
jimcracks, no furrin languages to jab
ber in. She was willing to pay good
wages—would give a governes $2OO a
year and her board; but she niusn't
expect very much waitin' on. They
don't keep any hired help—didn't
need any; a pity Itwould be if two
hearty girls like hers couldn't do their
own work.
Poor Marne! She would not say no

when a gentleman called that evening
and talked with her about his three
little girls, and seemed well satisfied
with the modest account she gave of
herself. He was very particular about
music, however, and would like to
hear Miss Woodbridge play. Their
interview had taken place in the kind
ly shelter of the quiet little reception
room, but the piano was in the big
parlor, and there the Professor and
the Rev. Paul Apollos were discussing
heaven and earth. The 'Brigadier
General was stalking oboe t. showing
off his martial ligore; and young
Bride by the side of her nee i •-11 was
holding court in the midst 01 the
ly circle of callers.
Shy. bashful Marti(; how could she
play before all V ose people ? Poor,
timid little wren, that had just crept
from under the mothers wings and
flown out of her nest ! Could she
show what sweet. music she could
make with a crowd of listeners?
There were none of the airs and
graces of the music-pounding young
woman alma Martie as she dropped
dots n upon the pianos-tool and took - a
moment's grace before entering noon
the dreadful ordeal. Why wil/ he
stand he:4ide her and watch her poor
frightened fingers as they trip and
alma ble, give a wild jump for a distant
note and miss it, make a (live for one
octave and light on another, litrul at
last lose their way altogether, and go
on chasing each other blindly up and
down the key-board. Martie knows
the pieec she is trying to play as well
as she knows her name, but it all flies
out of her head and slips away from
her fingers, Mid she ends at last with a
finale of her own improvising, feeling
the hair stand up straight On her head
as she does it.
The gentionino wits much obliged,
left almost immediately, and Martie,
in a rage of grief and mortification,
was rushing through the hall, exclaim
ing. with a sob, "What shall I do ?"
when she WHS suddenly stopped at the
foot of the stairs by Mr. Raymond.

gentle, motherly to about the little
boy and the two little girls at home,
for whom she wanted a teat-her and a
companion. But alas! that home lay
hundre Is and handreds of miles
away, on the far-eff prairies of lowa.
It seemed to Marne like going to
the ends of the earth. She had twen
ty-four hours in which to decide ;
spent half of them in wavering be
tween yes and no—between the cour
age to go anti the home sickness that
crept over her at the very thought of
it. Then scolding herself for a genuine
coward, she made up her mind that go
she must, and go she would.
"Is the Western question settled ?"
asked Mr. Raymond, as they were
leaving the dinner-table that evening.
"Yes," Marti() answered, "I am go

"Whnt!" exclaimed Mr. Raymond,
in a tone of surprise. "Have you
really made up your mind to go SO far

"Yes, I must go," said Martie. with
a little quiver in her voice. "Please

"I wouldn't for the world," returned
Mr. Raymond, "only that I know of

Martie was all eat•erness now. How

"It is a companion that is wanted,

Martie's face fell a little, but she an

Ladp's ll•netleal Joke.
It was customary in former days for
all the ladies of the best families to at
tend all the ;arm i nen t barbecues; and
Pills was especially the case in the con
test between Mr. Brecki nridge and
(10neral Coombs in 1840. Out of these
}init . !! grew the authentic story of the
nicest widow in't he b!ue-griA region.
Not far from the Forks of the Elkhorn
lived the pretty little widow Fauntle
reY, and one of her nearest neighbors
was General Peyton. The General es
corted her to the barbecue, and while
returning, expressed his certainty of
the success of General Coombs and the
Wldg party. The widow took sides
with the Democracy, and offered to
wager her horse Gypsy, or anything
else on her place, against the General's
1)100(1(41 hor,i- Y 1W ha tan, or anything
else she Might fancy on his place. The
wager wter promptly accepted—the
General thinking. perhaps, of another
offer he propesed making when a year
of bet w id(uw hand had expired.
Ily this time they had reached the
Norte Fork, and were (+bout to ford it
(there being 1{1) bridge) when John
l'eyeal, the (;e•ru•ral's only son and
heir, came up at a sharp gait behind
them. The widow turned and bowed
to John, 00(1 entered the stream, a
little behind her companion. The east
batik was steep; and Just at the com
mencement of the steel► part the lady's
girth broke, amid she with her saddle
slid swiftly hack into the water, while
her horse went up the bank like an
arrow. John leapitd from his I rte
eaught the laly t. 1 waddle l osoi WWI
at the top of the bank before the Gen
eral recovered fron► hid astoniahintnt.
The widow sent the General to stop
her horse, which had started for home,
and he; re he returned John had re
paired the girth, and the General on
his return hound then► laughing to
gether over the ridiculous accident.
John fastened the saddle again on the
horse, placed the lady in her seat, bade
her gold evening, Will rode home by
anetrer road. leaving the General to
eseert the widow.
When he said good-night, and shook
hands with her en the porch, the
wicked little widow gave his hand a
little squeeze, only at little, but it
thrilled like an electric liuek through
his great. ponderous frame, while she
laughingly reminded hint of his
wager. That night in his drValllB the
little widow Fatintleniy wall repeated
so often, and in so many bewitching
forms, that he resolved to propose to
her at their first 11 iveting, nor did he
dream that he could be refused.
next. Torning a letter from his
tobacco facfor called General Peyton
to Louis% tile, and before his return
the pailiCia Contest in the Ashland
district was over, and. wonderful to
relate, John C. Breeklnridge, the
young Democrat, was elected to Con
gress. General Peyton was both aston
ished and indignant. "Mr. Clay's
ditrict, sir, the finest. Congressienal
district in the blue-vrass region, has
di-graced itself, si r," was altruist his
first remark to his neighbor, Colonel
liva Wert.
his son John he communicated
his intention of bringing Mrs. Vaunt
leroy to adorn the head or his table.
"Sir, she is the finest lady in the blue
grass region, and I hope, sir, you will
always respect your future mother.'.
John, with a quiet ;Mille, assured him
that he was pleased with his choice.
This pleased the General highly, for
he had been afraid John would object
to a step-mother younger than him
self.
The next morning the General
ordered Powhatan brought out and
led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy's. Calling
John, he requested him to eali upon
Mrs. Fauntleroy. "The Whig party
has disgraced Itself In Mr. Clay's dis
trict, sir, and 1 am compelled to part
with the finest blood horse in the State
to pay iny wager with that lady, sir."
The black boy led Powhatan to the
hitching rail in trout of Mrs. Fauntle
roy 's yard.
When General Peyton and John ar
rived, they found the pretty widow
and two young lady friends in the
yard admiring Powhatan.
"Alaciame," said the General to Mrs.
Fauntleroy, "I have come like a true
Kentucky gentleman to pay the wager
I have lost ; Powhatan, madame, is
rightfully yours."
' . But General, I believe the wager

anything else on the place, was It

"Madame, you are correct; but I
cannot permit you to select an interior
animal.
"You have another and superior
animal, I believe," 'mid the widow,
blushing. "Your son John, if ha
would but use his tongue—l think
shall choose him."
The General rose, and In his blandest
meaner bade the ladies good morning.
To John he said :
"Sir, you will remain.''
General Peyton never forgave his
daughter-in-law her practical Joke.
In after years he used to say :
"Sir, she is the finest lady in the
blue-grass region, but she lacks taste,
sir.'
