THE FAY
BY THE GLADE BAUD
One beautiful night,
As I laid on a lawn,
A Fuy to my sight.
• Appeared forlorn ;
With jewels and gems
Iler form was arrayed,
Which dazzled my sight—
As well as dismayed
In beautiful ringlets
Iler dark auburn hair
Clung over her shoulders,
Enchanting and fair
A wreath of fair lilies
Was-twined 'round her head
And sparkling diamonds
O'er her forehead were spread.
With smiles, the most winning,
Her sweet lips were wreathed,
Which enchanted me wholly.
As greatly as pleased.
Which stole to my soul,
Like a magical spell;
And bore my poor heart
In an instant away,
And crazed me with love,
Fur that beautiful Fay.
Her form was sylph-like,
Aud most beautiful too;
Like a spirit of light
bhe appeared to my view.
Her cheeks and her lips,
Like a rose bud, were red,
With softest carnation
That over them spread
And softly and lightly
She held in her hand,
A magical something—
A symbol or wand,
Her step was as light,
As is that of the fawn;
And like a bright shadow,
She tripped o'er the lawn
Her voice, like soft melody.
Rung on my ear,
And in musical cadence
Was lost in the air.
A bright silver cloud
Floated over her head,
Light tinted with shadows,
Of orange and red;
And from it procce;le;l
A musical band—
A host of bright forms, •
Singing sweetly and bland :
Their strains wore so sweet,
And so softly they fell,
That my spirit at once
Was enwrapt in the spell ;
And I longed to be one
Of that musical band,
And dwell with that Fay,
In her own sunny land.
But scarcely the wish
Had roso up in my breast,
When the sun's golden rays,
Glimmered forth in the east
And off like the down
Of a thistle they flew,
And vanished like spirits,
Away from my view.
But still when the moon
Shines with silvery ray,
My heart bounds with love
For that beautiful Fay.
From the London Family Herald
A CHARMING LITTLE STORY
IV/ TIE.
I was sixteen—bright, joyous and hap
py. Yet mine was no envied lot, according
to fashionable ideas ; for no stately man
sion or lordly dwelling reared its lofty
columns above my young head, no velvet
carpet yielded to the tread of my bound
ing feet/ I was the eldest of a family
of eight children. I knew that I was not
needed at home, and day after day, as I
saw the weary look of my father, and wit
nessed the self-denial of my mother, I
longed to earn my own living. An oppor
tunity soon presented itself, and in com
pany, with two or three of my schoolmates,
away I went, several miles from home, to
a cotton-factory. My mother gave me
much parting counsel ; my father looked
grave and anxious ; and my brothers and
siffiters gathered around me and wept ; but
I resolutely choked Iback tne great, swel
ling subs, with which my own heart seemed
bursting, and turned, for the first time,
away from my home. I was successful ;
I lived economically; and every month
I placed a small sum in the savings' bank.
One evening I was reading in my chamber,
when Nellie, my room-mate came bound
ing gleefully in, and, twining her arms
about my neck, and putting her face be
tween the book and my eyes, she said,
Mattie, I've a compliment for you !'
'Hush ! you silly girl,' I replied, kissing
her upturned face ; and take your saucy
head out of the way. You have interrupt
ed me in the middle of an interesting pas
sage.'
But, Mattie dear, this is a real good
one," she cried. 1 know you don't care
a fig for compliments about your rosy
cheeks, black eyes, or beautiful, soft, brown
curls. This is something different Al
fred Fletcher loves you!' and the saucy
girl looked into my eyes as though she
would read the secret of my heart.
There was no need of so close a scrutiny.
The most casual observer might have dis
covered it, from the crimson blush that
almost burnt my cheek, neck and brow,
but instantly receeding, left me pale as
death.
Why, Matti°, dear, what ails you ?'
said Nellie, in alarm, and stroking my
cheek.
Nothing,' I. replied, rising, and osteu
sibly busying myself with arranging the
books upon the table, but really taking
time to recover my self-possession. •
You haven't told me whether you were
glad or sorry,' said Nellie. thought
you would be glad; but you look so de
murely, I'm afraid I was mistaken.
I was glad, at least, that she had not
discovered my secret. So, resuming my
seat, I drew her to me, and asked her how
she had learned what she had just told me.
Oh he confessed as much to Andrew,'
said Nellie, 'though I knew it well enough
before.'
Ah, yes!' I retorted, the secret was
exchanged for one as precious concerning
my own little Nellie. In that case I fear
it will not do to take it for granted, so I
shall think no more about it.'
Her attention thus turned into another
channel, I felt sure that she would not
question me further. When we had laid

his squire, and whispered him, Now old
Wisdom, do you see the use of my orders ?'
Conrade, who, as may be supposed, had
said nothing of the alteration he made in
in the substance of his embassy,
shrugged his shoulders with a smile unper
ceived by his master, who had turned
again to his consort, and first perceived
that she wore a bandage upon her soft
hand. He immediately inquired the cause.
Sultan bit me,' said Angelica, and it
is all your fault, Sir Hugo,' added she,
sobbing.
lly fault!' cried the knight.
Yes, your fault, and nobody's but
yours,' retorted his spouse. If you had
not' sent me word by Conrade not to ride
the nasty, mischievous brute, such a mad
trick would never have entered my head.'
In mute astonishment the knight hurried
to seek an explanation from his squire,
who had slipped away when Angelica began
her complaint.
What message did you bring your
lady ?' demanded he.
Conrade now confessed the truth.
4 Were these the orders I gave you, you
scoundrel ?' said the enraged Sir I-lugo.
Certainly not,' replied the squire ; 'but
you will own that 1 have made my point
good. You may now see how it would
have been had I given your order about
the young priest. My noble lady is a
model for her sex, and almost an angel,
but still she is a daughter of Eve, who
meant to have bequeathed to all her lineal
female descendants her own spirit of per
verseness. And we have only to remem
ber the Lady Angelica's pleasant ride
upon Sultan to be convinced that it had
lost none of its vigor in the descent.'
