THOSE FOOTSTEPS.
In the quiet bnob of the tender night.
When my eys till up with tears.
Comes my darling to me, all golden bright
Witb Ike murhiue of three sweet years.
And be smiles as be climbs to a seat on my
knee
To whisper his childish mirth ;
Then clasps-my neck though yuu may not
see.
For my darling U not of earth.
Oi.ly wiibin tbe twilight ploom.
When tbe hours are long and sweet,
I hear all about in the lonely room
The patter of liltli reel.
Potter of feet that come and go.
With a sweet yet re.tilc-s will.
Just as tbey did a month niro,
Kre tbey grew forever still
And my heart at IhoFe spirit sounds that
seem
So neur yet so far away.
Glides into the faith of a sweet love-dream.
Thai, lolluws me night and day.
And this lnve-drcsm, lender and ever sweet,
Still whispers solt and low
"Keep thou .in thy beirt those" tiny feet.
And follow the way they g".
Then 017 porrow f inks down as a leailet will,
When the winds are into thoir reji ;
And I how with cl.ispe l bauds, and still

You see, my friend K.-ssie and I had
bct-ii in a convent for tfie last year, and
having turned to our homes with such
an hhunitaiirc of life and fan, oar parcuts
concluded, after a few week, to tona us
down a little by sending us out here in
j the couutiy to visit aunt IlepzV, an ec

j lived in the ol I homestead, a large old

her two old servants were the only occu

was there, wuh m.y G.shonest purpose.
We Lad t.uly arrived the night before.
aud were just making their acquaintance,
when a telegram arrived, saying that a
favorite nephew of hers was dangerously
ill. and she was needed lo muse him.
Her first thought was to send us directly
home, and start herself the next morn
iiif : but we were so tirrd with our jour
ney, and begged to hard to be allowed to
stry, that at last she consented. If she
had known us a little longer, she might
have been a little doubtful about this
bcinir the best course : but we were so
demure that she evidently thought our
year at the couvent hnd made us almost
nuns. But I was telling you about that
morning.
"1 bt lieve the bacfc is coming," said
Bess, breaking the silence. "I hope so;
1 am afraid I shall get up and dance, and
astonish tbe old lady if she don't go
pretty soon. I say, Nell, wou't it be
glorious V
"Very," said I ; "but be carefnl and
not show jut loo much, or sins will bun
die you iuto tbe back and take yon
along."

versation, coming through the hall, "J
do hale to go and leave you ; but there
3 Hanuah and Joseph, who are both old
and steady. I have given them orders
about the place, and all you will have to
do will be to enjoy yourselves in a quiet
way. I wouldn't have anything to do
with tbe neighbors, unless some of the
old ladies call. The Greys over there,
have a hnruin scarum son home from
college with a friend. I never could
abide sludeuts. Of course, you would
not receive them if they ehould call, as
long as I am away."
"Of course not. ' We were not allow
ed to even look at a gentleman while we
stayed at tbe convent, were we, Nell T '
"Oh. no !" said I, with a warning look
at Nell, whose eyes were brimming with
mischief.
"Well, I believe that's all. except tbe
silver. I always put it in a basket ia my
room every night. You know it is very
valuable, and baa been in the family a
great many years. Hannah is so old
aud fiightful, that I shall put that iu
your charge, Nellie. Take it in your
room every night, and lock the door. Of
course, there isn't a bit of danger in this
quiet place.; but it is always beat to be
on tho safe aide."
Just then the backman. who had been
waiting several mfnutea, gare an napa-

tient'ttbisilo, ani.w,all alarted for tbe
gate. She was eooa settled amid her
bandies, and called ant to me as a part
ing injunction, "Be gore and remember
the silver. Nellie; take tbe basket io
your room every night."
The backman turned and gave me a
quick look aa he .gathered up the reins,
and I noticed that his free was anything
bnt a pleasant one. It made me a little
nervous at first, and I did not join very
heartily in Bessie's frolic, as she danced
into tbe bouse, and turned everything
upside dowu. I kept my thoughts to
myelf, however, as I did not care to be
liinglted at.-
It would take many pages to describe

of three days we received a letter from

"Say we do, this very afternoon '

was cool aud pleasant.

time very pleasantly playing croquet,
walking and riding with our new ac -
quaiutances.
Oue night, after we had spent a very
pleasant evening over tbe p.ano. aud
reurea auout eleven o ciock, i ion very
uneasy and wakeful. It was a dark

touched Bessie, who whispered
"Yes. I heard. Some oue is trying to
get in." ' ' '
Then we listened, and there were foot
steps on the brick walk under onr win
dow, and tbe side door and the windows
were tried. They were firmly locked,
and there was no sound for a moment ;
listening closely, however, we heard
whispering, and then footsteps around to
the back, nf the house.
"There are two of them." said I.
irouuding out of bed. ' I am goiug to
dress "
Bessie followed suit, aud in a few
minutes wo had slipped on our clothes
and fastened the door more firmly. To
escape from the house was too dangerous
a thing to attempt at present; we had
rather trust to onr bolt on the door.
After a while we beard the sound of glass
breaking, and knew that they had ac
complished their purpose.
Joseph slept in a room out of the din
ing room, and. wakened by the souud,
called out sharply. Who is there ?"
A moment more and the terrible sound
of blows came to onr ears together with
the cry of "murder !" Then a heavy
fall. I cannot describe our feelings. I
thiuk at first we were almost paralyzed
with fright. When I heard footsteps in
the hall, I roused myself aud opened the
blinds of the window nearest our bed,
and looked dowu. . It would be a terri
ble leap to the walls below ; but better
tbat than to be murdered. I took the
bed clothe, except the sheets, and drop
ped them softly down- The sheets I
knitted firmly together, and tied one
end to the heavy bod post. By this time
onr door wm tried. Finding it locked,
they knocked loudly, and getting no re
sponse, whisperea a moment, then a
voica said crossly.

"It's no use to keep mum. my dears ;
we know' you're there, and we also know
about ''that basket of silver. That's
what we've came for ; and you had bet
ter open the door, or we'll knock it
down."
We sat on the edge of tbe bed perfect

they commenced swearine and pounding

' "If you'll open the door, and hand us

'Wa know, and we will have it. If!

By this time I had drawn up the im
promptu rope, and tied on the basket
which I was bound to save
J "Wait a moment," raid I, for they
beat the door till tho boards cracked.
and I was afraid tbe hinges would give

as no easy task, and what a feeling of

and sound, and find Bessie with the
basket ready for a stirt. We did not
I dare try the main road; but slipped
through the side gate into the orchard
As we entered, we Iseard the door give
way, and knew it would be only a mo-
metit till they would be after us. But
j we were both swift on our feel, and we

We soon left the orchard and field be
