Birthdays.
I am content
To lot the added year*
That come to mo.
Roll hack into the past so far
Ttiat memory
Can only find iilotitf the shore
Some perfect shells, and nothing more.
I am content
That seaweed, bits of wreck
And pebbles gray
Float out of sight into the sen;
For them to stay
Would bo to cherish grief and pain
f would not, must not feel again.
i ant content
That none of life
Can over be
l*ivcd o'er with self-same throb and thrill;
So moro to mo
Will former song, or book, or toy,
Fill the new measure of my joy.
I am content
To live all of to-day;
And when I dream,
Let fancy reveal in the light
That hoi>e hnth seen.
Beyond the present and afar —
A steadfast, sweetly beckoning star.
I am content;
For ago upon the hoart
Can never creep;
And when nt last in stillest night
I seem to sleep,
A birthday comes to me in truth;
The gift it brings, immortal yonth.

MABEL RAE
I'ruler the shadow of a great fig-tree
a young girl sat in a deep reverie. Such
a tender light was in her eyes, such a
sweet smile of full satisfaction on her
face, that a stranger would certainly
have said: "She is thinking of h*r
lover." Hut no lover had Mabel llae.
Her pleasure sprang from a far less
dangerous source—from the handful
of tuberoses in her lap. Their spirit
ual. dreamy beauty and rare, rich per
fume always held her as in a spell of
measureless content, and the lovely
waxen llowers, pale, pure and white its
moonshine, haunted her heart and im
agination, and received from her a per
petual love and worship.
Titer,* she sat until the heat and
stillness of the tropic noon drove her
to the house, a grand old home, hid
among giant live oaks, gray with the
solemn waving Southern moss, she
went to the large dim parlor, intend
ing to put her favorites among the
damp moss of the hanging baskets,
but the dreamy languor of the rooin
overcame every desire but that of
sleep, and she lay down on the nearest
couch, holding lyx (lowers in her
hands.
Half an hour later Mr. llae opened
the door, and ushered in a gentle
man who had accompanied him from
New Orleans.
"Sit down, Allan," he said, "I will
soon arouse the house. You see it is
the hour for siesta, and 1 tielieve all
take it at the same time when I am
away."
For a few minutes the young man
believed himself alone. A subtle pow
erful perfume was his first sensation.
Then, as his eyes ticca me accustomed
to the dim light of the carefully closed
jalousies, he saw a picture that he
never more forgot, a most lovely girl,
in the first bloom of maidenhood, fast
asleep on the silken cushions piled on
a low divan. Ifer white robes made a
kind of glory in the darkened corner,
one hand had fallen down, and the
flowers gemmed the carpet at her side;
the other lay across her breast, as if
embracing the tuberoses which it had
scattered there.
Never in all his native mountains,
never in any dream of love or fancy,
had Allan Monteith seen a woman
half so fair. He stood gazing on
Maliet as if he had " seen a vision.''
There lay his destiny asleep; he knew
It, ami opened his whole soul to wel
come "Love's young dream." Hut
when Mr. Itae, followed by a negro
valet, returned, and Mabel languidly
opened ber great pensive eyes, and
stretched out her arms for her father's
embrace, Allan almost thought he
should faint from excess of| emotion,
and it was with difficulty he controlled
himself to receive the introduction
and the apologies necessary.
Allan Monteith was a young Scotch
man, the only son of a gentleman with
whom in early life Mr. Itae hail formed
a most ardent friendship. He was
rich, ami by nature and birth equally
notable; nor was he destitute of the
traditional business rapacity of bis
house, as some late transactions in
cotton ami sugar in New{Orleans had
proved to Mr. Itae. And partly be
cause he liked the young man, and
partly as a matter of interest, he had
Invited him to his home among the
woods and lagoons of the ever green
bayou. Maliel, in this transaction,
bail scarcely IxjQp properly considered;
but to her father she was yet a child.
True, be recognized her beauty, and
was very proud of it, and she pos
sessed an exquisite voice und great
skiil in music, and the passing idea of
showing his pearl of price to the for-
MMMisSrSSjLi:-!-i
eigner ratlu r flattered his vanity than
alarmed his fears. He did not dream
that he was introducing a new claim
ant for its possession.
Allen lingered as if in an enchanted
castle, till he had no life, no will, no
hopes, but those which centered in
Mabel Hae. And she soon returned
his passion with a love even more ab
sorbing and far less selfish than her
lo\ er's.
Ob, the sweet, warm, love-laden days
in those solemnly shaded woods! (Hi,
the blissful hours in the cool evenings,
when] the perfume of tuberoses and
jasmine 11 lied the air! when the 'soft
calm moonlight glorified every lovely
and every common thing! It was like
a dream of those days when the old
rustic gods reigned, ami to live was to
love, and to love was to be happy.
With the fall, however, there caine
! letters from Scotland, and Allan could
no longer delay. Mr. Itae would hear
of no engagement for two years, by
which time he said he hoped to he able
to give Mabel such a fortune as would
make her acceptable in the eyes of
Allan's father. Hut for the present lie
| absolutely declined to look upon the
young people's attachment us binding
j on either side.
"In less than two years I will lie here
again, Mabel, darling," were Allan's
last whispered words, as he held her in
his arms, and kissed again and again
the face dearer than all the world to
him. And Mabel smiled through her
tears, and held the last tuberose of the
summer to his lips for a parting pledge.
Hut the two years brought many
changes. The war cloud gathered, ami
long before Allan could redeem his
promise the little inland plantation was
desolate and deserted ; Mabel was an
orphan, and cruelly embarrassed in
money affairs ; claimants without num
ber appeared against the Hae estate,
and creditors forced the plantation into
the market at the most unfavorable
time. She was driven from her home
in slriet accordance with the letter of
the law, but she felt and knew, though
powerless to prevent it, that she had
been wronged.
For the first time in all her life Ma
bel thought for herself, ami dared to
look the future in the face. She had
promised her father never to write to
Allan without his permission, but she
considered that death annuls all con
tracts, and surely now if ever it was
Allan's duty to befriend and care for
her. So she sent him word, in a few
shy. timid sentences, of her sorrow and
loneliness. But it was doubtful If ever
the letter would reach him; mails in
those days were not certainties; and
even if it did reach Allan, it was still
more uncertain whether he eouhl reach
Maliel. And in the meantime she
must work; and though Mall could
command no higher position than that
of a nursery governess, yet she found
in it a higher life than ever the dreamy
luxurious selfishness of her father's
home had given her.
Her employers were of the ordinary '
class. 1 tan weave no romance out i
of them. They felt no special inter
est in Maliel, neither did they ill-use
her. She was useful and unobtrusive,
and asked for neither sympathy nor
attention. No letter came from Al
lan. though she waited and hoped with
failing heart and paling cheeks for
more than a year. She had not the
courage to write again, ami her anx
iety and distress begun to tell very |s*r
ccptlbly on a naturally frail constitu
tion. Then a physician advised her to
try at once a more invigorating cli
mate, and she not unwillingly agrisil
to accompany the invalid wife of an
officer returning to her home in New-
York.
This w as the daw n of a brighter day
for Mattel; by tlie advice of friends
she established herself in a fashionable
locality and commenced teaching mil-1
sic. I think few women could have
lieen more successful ; so in the see-!
oml w inter of Maliel's residence in New-
York It ltecame " the thing " to invite
Miss Rae to preside over select social
and musical entertainments. I have a
friend who met her during that season
frequently, and who describes her tart,
and influence as something extraordi
nary and magnetic. Her rare beauty
was undiminished, though inure
thoughtful ; her drees was uniformly
the same—a pale pink lusterless silk,
with tuberoses In her hair and at her
breast, for her passion for these flow
ers was stronger than ever.
She htwl many lovers, hut she ig
nored or else decidedly refused all.
Her heart was still with the tall fair
mountaineer, who had won It amid the
warmth and perfume of tropic noons
and moonlit nights; and though twice
two years had passed she refused to
believe him false.
And she was right. Allan deserved
her fullest faith. Her letter hail nwer
reached him, and yet he had with in
rredibledifficulty made his way to New
Orleans, only to And the plantation in
the hands of strangers, and Mabel gone.
After u long ami dispiriting search lie
left Mallei's discovery in the hands of
well-paid agents, and returned to Scot
land almost broken-hearted.
But he still loved her passionately)
ami often on stormy nights when the
i winds tossed the tall pine* like straws,
| and mountain snows brat at the barred
] doors and windows, he thought of the
happy peace and solemn silences in
1 which lie ami his love had walked, list
ening only to the heating of their own
I hearts, or the passionate undertones of
tlu' mocking bird*.
Thus tin' two walked apart who
should have walked hand in hand, and
I it seemed as if the years only widem*!
that brea'-h over which two souls
{ looked longingly and called vainly.
Did fate knock softly at Mabel's soul
then? for slm blushed, and instantly,
! as if by magic, there sprang up in her
heart a happy refrain, which she could
not control, ami which kept n singing,
"II)* cornea! he comes! mv lover
comes !"
She dressed with in>>rc than ordinary
1 care, and was so Impatient that her
toilet was ooinplett*! before tin* others
had liegun. So she sat down in the
sun-lighted parlors, saying to herself :
"I will lie calm; for how should I
la-ar a disappointment, ami what
ground of hop)' have 1? Absolutely
none, but that he comes from the same
! country. No, there is no hope."
But still doubt and fear
she could hear the same chiming un.
j dertone, "He comes! he conn's! my
lover comes!"
But if we wait the harvest of tlu
lu-art will come; and so one day Mabel
got a note from a friend announcing
her return from abroad, anil begging
her to lie present at a small informal
reunion at her house that evening. She
went early in the day, and *|M-nt the
afternoon in th** plea-ant gossip
which young and happy women enjoy.
Her friends rallied her a good deal
u j * in her growing year*, ami laughingly
advised her to si-cnre a young S'otch
man with whom they hail a plea-ant
acquaintance in their travel*, anil who
was now in New York, ami going to
sjicnd the evening with them.
she liernme nervous anil stijiersti
tioii*. and when the silence wa* broken
bv a quick ring and a rapid footstep
she rose involuntarily from her chair,
anil stood trembling and flushing with
excitement in the middle of the room.
Ah, Malxd! Mabi-I! Your In-art has
*i*-n further than )our eyes. Allan
has come at last.
" Ah, my darling! my darling! I have
found you at last!" wa* all that Mattel
heard as Allan clasped her to his
txisiim.
And so Mattel's w inter of disc intent
and sorrow was over, and never more
•liil she have grief or pain unsnnthed or
