There could be no more excellent reason given than these why Mr. Bowker should, have engagerthiruself in the blisdful works of idleness. Gay in a bachelor hand kerchief, which displayed itself in a flower-like knot of red and yellow at his throat ; in trousers of moleskin, the more prominent parts whereof were patched with snow-white patch- es; in nn unstarched shirt of some- thing like canvas ; a billyeock hat, utterly 'uneonservative as to form, and a pair of huge boots, the tongues of.which lolled with a thirsty and a gapingilook over the dusty dryness of the. laces, Mr. Bowker lay upon his back on a green baidc and listened , to the • twittering of the birds and smoked his pipe, and was at - ,,petice with a 4 mankind. His coat was rolled 7 hp and placed beneath his head a pillow.; the cool wind played about his face, and bore to him the scent_ of many green and flowering things; the brook mur mured j opposite, and beyond the brook tie hay meadow dozed in the sunshine. neyond the hay meadow, right away on the verge of the land- sea pe, certain pit-framt , s were visible, and - certain mounds of mine refuse and two or three small chimneys. They smoked so la'zily that afternoon, and looked, so slim and delicate in the distance, that Mr; Bowker,thi?' he knew them well, bad visions of a cluster of giants lying in a rough semi-ci rele, smokina enormously long and thin cigars. For the day was so peaceful and so full 'of rest there, where Mr. powker lay in shadow, that it seemed impossible to fancy' that anything was working. Mr. Bowker was by nature of - a literal-S. turn. Ile Was by roree of circum stances a coal miner. He was w thorough, good, whole-hearted fellow,l too, as most, of his' tribe axe, despite the roughness of their exterior. 'Mr. Bowker had no love for solitude as a rule, but that day he shunned his fellows. He had 'a, fine palate for beer. yet that afternoon the Rosy Lap had opened her arms to him in vain. The Rosy Lass .was a public house in those parts, arid at that hour, as Mr. Bowker knew, many of his chums sat in solemn circle round the kitchen,;hoilling high debates on " whummurs " "game uns" and other holiday utters. Mr. l3owker himself was a keen pigeon flyer, and his word was of authority on the breeding Of gathe ones, yet he will ingly Meld aloof from his companions, and aired himself,in solitude. The plain truth about the matter , was that William was love. The place was changed Sadly since I knew it; but a score of years ago there were few loidier spots in Eng , r land than that in vi'hicu Mr. Bowker lay that summer Saturday. Itg-beauk ty was of a very gentle type, and h:iil no dazzling surprises in it. To walk straight out - of the circle of ashes and smoke and fire, which men call the Black Country, into the green lanes and tranquil field which lay- SHELVES about it, was like walkirtout of the bowling noises•of Ludgate Hill on a' week day into the sacred quiet of St. Paul's ; waslike going home to see one's silver-haired, tranquil-minded mother after a year's grind in • the city ; was like •a quiet,dream in the 'midst of fevered fancies. It was like none of these things to Mr. Bowker, for he had never seen Ludgate, and never knew his mother, and had nev- • er bten troubled with fevered fancies. Yet be felt the benediction and the rest of it quite as completely, per haps, as be would have done if he had been able. to find a thousand similes for its enjoyment. • ' ' He was a *ell-made younc , fellow at this time, with, a look of sturdy manliness and rough good-nature. l• Not love itself could quench the na tive humor of his soul, and he grinned behind his pipe in serio-comic deri sion of his own forlornness. "It's a rum tlrng—luv," said he to himself. +‘ It's a-sort o' complaint like;lsummat aster the measles an' the liewidn' tilt; a sort o' thing as a moil's got to hive some day oranoth er. l'n got -it bad an' no mistake..' I suppose I'n got it about as bad as. a mon ever had it. But. Lord bless thee, Willyyuw, it's a sickness as: wo't kill nobody.. But it wo't do for, me tobe a lyin' here all arternoon a (loin , ' nothin'. I mote go whum empty-honded. I'll tak' some flowers wi' me." Therewith Mr. Bowker arose, and tying the sleeves of his coat loosely about his neck; strayed along the lanes and got together; in the ,course of the next hour, a presentable nose gay of late May early dog-roses and white . fox-giqyes. .These, backed by a dozen or -so prodigious ferns, ;. be bound :about with rushes - from the brook and then- set out for home.

P7I I! M 1 CRAFTER I MEE , . . , 1 • ( I =A which he carried it. It is the Black Country fashion to do everything on a large scale, and Mr. Bowker might have passed, behind his bouquet as ;one of the supernumeraries- in the -army which marehei , against Mac beth from Birnam Wood. Straying up Dead Man's lane, he climbed Ja cob's Ladder, and passed merrily Stevenson's Hills, encountered here and there a friend and a friendly sa lute. The nosegay read© it evident 'to the meanest observer that the 'bearer was " goin' a courtin'," 'and William endured a good deal of more or less pointed chaff as he took his homeward - way. This was inevitable, and he as, of course, prepared for it, and g enerally gave a good deal better than he got. "Hello, Will-yum," said one, par example, " a cove ud think as yo' took the-second o' June for May day." " Why, 11°,1 did," responded Will iam, cheerfully, "an' l'n been geth erin' some green stuff for yo' to play the fule in." •• This was quite a home thrust of wit after the manner of the district. They who looked on at . the, brief tournament gu ff awed right joyfully. "Yo' had . him theer,. Will-yum," quoth one youth, approvingly. "Not me," 'returned Will-yum„ complacently. "I- wouldn't have him nowheer, not - at a gift." Leaving the diticomfitted foe be hind, Mr. BOwker pursued his way, and was encountered in the region of Scott's Hole by a certain retail bone dealer and merchant in scrap iron The retail dealer had a humorous eye and a moist, full mouth, and bore other evidence in his quaintly-carved countenance of the power of comic perception. " Afternoon, Will-yum," said the retail -dealer. "afternoon, Samyonwell,".retßrn ed Mr. Bowker, with a drolr-eyed and = " Gpin' to plant them pretty things in the bark garden, Will-yum ?" ask. ed the retail dealer, With a show of friendly interest. " No," said Mr. Bowker, placidly; " gathered 'em to see how many rules would ax me what I got 'em for." • " Arternoon, Willy-yum," said the retail dealer. "Arternoon,Samyouwell," return ed Mr. Bowker, and lit a fresh pipe with feelings of strong self-approval. • Mr. Bow ker lived in Paradise street, and had mr.nifold opportuni ties for conferbnce.withthe object of his desires, who lived next door, and was, indeed noother than the daugh ter of the retail merchant of bone and - iron. The genial way of wits and words in which these two indillg; ed made no sort of difference hi their friendship, Unless, indeed, it 'tended to cement it. Paradise street, in William's day, was something of a slum, and the fields which lay.in front of 'his house, where the railway. sta tion now stands, were very frowzy and neglected, and produced no oth er crop than one•of brickbats and hulking ends of timber. Here and there a broken and deserted shed., built for some forgotten purpose, went its way to ruin slowly, and add ed to the general desolation. Beyond those frowzy fields rose the gaunt frames and tall chiaineys of, many coal mines, and down'the hill, on the Oldbury road, the everlasting( fur, naves gave /the summer evening sky an angry glare. You could hear. their roar and the dead thud of the steam hammer on .any quiet night, and' sometimes the clank of iron bars and pigs,. as the boats beside the wharf were loaded, as though some, great devclilli Prometheus were ~'bound there, breathing smoke and fire against imprisoning .Jove, and . shak: ing the chains that held him. Etiquette reigns everywhere—even in the Black Vonnt . ry. Mr. Bowker dressed for the presentation of his 'nosegay. First. of all lie,rolled his shirtsleeves to his shocilders and blacked his boots. • Then he took a copious bath.' under the pump in the yard, in vier-of his inamorata,' who bade him a gracious , good-evening from her bed-room window, and was there plainly visible in her bodice, in the' act of removing her 'earl papers. His bath completed, William laid by the scrubbing brush and the iellowsoap; and hung the jack towel upon the rack behind the kitchen door—for be .was a lonely manr at home as yet, and had in all things to' shift completely for, himself.. Then putting on a false front, with a pair of wonderful collars, which fastened with a string behind and obscured his ears, and donning a suit of black and a'very tall and shiny bat, be set forth for an evening• with his love. Armed with . his nosegay he tapped at the door and was admitted. In a second all•was changed within, him; and his hopes were chilled.. "Good night, Will-ymn, an' thank you," said Selina, 'as she took the flowers. I . think thee know'st Aberahum." Here she pointed to a young gen tleman,-who sat uneasily-on the ex, treme edge of a sofa clothed in very crackly chirds. The young man sat, balancing his hat in.hislands and blushing to the eyes.: His -false col lars were even higher than M. Bow.; ken's, and his black clothes were shinier and had more. overlapping folds in them. Surrounding his neck was a woollen comforter of many col ors, the ends of which trailed on the floor as he sat. Ills eyes - wandered with uncertain glare about the room, and encountering Mr. Bowker's for a second, glided of and fixed thein selves.upon the - ceiling. Mr. Abra ham Gough worked_ln the same mine with Mr. Bowker. William bad al- Ways rather looked:down on this young man, and had sometimes used him as a chopping-bloeiv to try wit's edge ; upon—and now it Was evident that the despised one was here as a rival. " Be . you gooin' to tek a walk to night, Selina?" -Mr. Bowker asked. with such aspect of easy unconcern as be could wear. " Why, yis. I be, Will-yum," Selina responded. "Mr.. Guff here's been good , priough me to goo out wi' him." . • • William looked at Mr. Clough; and Mr..43longb COIISChNI,. of the gaze, ;,_,.,,:,-.:-:,-- ~..',..7,...,..,,,,';;;.:::2--i..::'1'..%-.-,',-,t?.,;-,..:.,=':-.,:;,-,::J=,',';.-••',.-'--•-7.,,•'''',::',:'/"-'-' .:• . -- .

The gaze continuing, Mr. bough's glance wandered to the brass ornaments on the , chhpney-piece, and, 'finding no resting-place there, descended to the fire-irons, and, with a growing air of discomfiture, wan dered about the walls. Mr. Bowker's expression grew more and more scornful as he gazed, and at last. be turned upon his sweetheart and'asked : " Will you have a mon wi' you to tek care o' your new catch, Seliner ?" " If I could wak' sure of his hein' a gentleman," Selina replied, "p'raps I might." "oh 1" said William with some bitterness. "If thee beest after gentlefolks I'n got nothing more to say." " I don't see," responded Selina, flashing a little, "as yo need say anythin' at all. I'll say good night, Willy-yum.." • "Good night, Seliner," responded William, "and good.hy,” " Good-1?y, Mr. Irowker, said Selina. "Good-by, Miss Jukes," said Mr. Bowker. Mr. Goug h smiled at Mr. Bowker's dismissal. But I think it probable that, if Mr. Gough had known the tingling longing for his ears which just then possessed Selina's fingers, be would have smiled less_broadly. . - -b.-.
