To matt and beast and bird and Bower:

As though a prayer came from its heart
For ram to come; and 10. it came.
The Indian coin with silken plume.
And dower. with tiny pitcher! filled,
Send up their praise of wweet perfume,
For precious drops the clouds distilled.
The inedest crass is Crests and green
- The brooklet swells itissongagain.
Methinks an angel wing is seen
In every cloud that brings us rain,
There is a rainbow in the sky.
Upon the arch where tempests trod ;
God wroteit ere the world was dry—

Ce where the heavy thunders rolled;
And clouds on fire were r.trept along.
The sun rides in a car ef gold,
And soaring larks disol re in soar._
The rill's that rush from morin mitt., rode,
Floe trieklinc to the verdant trase—

beautiful and looked inviting, Seppi could not eat

He found the rarest fruits but could not eat tbem:

she was always near him, as Seppi had desired.
and studied constandy to make him happy ; but
181 re could not succeed m it; nay, Seppi even began
to be afraid of the wonderful things he saw every.
I where around him, and the mysterious power of
the fairy filled him ,with ewe.
"I pray you," he said one day to her, "condact
me from theesr:dicial garden, snd from the splen

simple grass is growing, such as my goats cat:
there I will again sing all my songs to you, all
these songs you lore so well."
Then the fairy sighed, for her kingdom consist

two places did not snit her favorite. For not once
since had ho sung so happily as at the time when
he'sat last by the side of the lake : and whe'n he
now at the request of the fairy. sang one of his old
melodies, it had no longer - the happy, merry sound
as. or Tore, for Seppi's heart was no more happy :
on the contrary, he was sad and languishing. and
yet now he was so much better off than at the time
when he was bet a poor goat-herd. and had to
carve in the employ of the avaricious senmsr.—
t‘' hat then ailed him? As he had wished, he was

by the heavy pushes of Seppi, and forgot hie' own
safety in her anxiety to save him. Quick as light

sighed aloud. Frightened, Seppi ; looked around
towards her, and she saw how the folds of the green
veil she wore turned into green leaves, her feet
and golileit sandal, changed into m l ow, and her tell
beautiful figure 'appeared as a reed shrub above the
water. And then the waves took Seppi. and eani

taretcheal oat his arms towards the reed, which a . I
few moments before had stood by his side, but
which now raised its bead in the middle of the
pond, and reached its thin, trembling arms lan
guishingly toward! the shore. A soft wail and a
sigh passed through the reeds, and cut like a bitter
reproach, through poor Seppi's soul. He coveted
his lace with his hands, and ran away, so as not to
see the sail reed-shrub any more. Thus he finally
reached the sewer's cottage, whtels belonged to
his master, Peter Saibel. There he foetid an old
I man, of whom he inquired for the wanner.
I am the 'leaner," replied the other.
" But what has become of Peter Saibel ?" asked
Seppi in asuinishmeut.
" Why youngster, you must have been drinking:
replied the old man ; " the Saibel owned this seh
tier's hat long before me, and has been dead this
eighty years. My father used to tell me the story
about him, and about a young Lae, and that both of
' them had disappeared on the very same day, and
that it was just on the day when the cattle were
driven out for the first time in the spring,—Peter's

At that Seppi thought that the old man was cra
