Is a storm of tenr-drops fallino;
From a faCo all sad and wbite J
Think not of it in tho future
Culiner, fairer days arc high ;
Gaze uot backward, Imt look onward ' .
From a sunny "byc-and-byo."
Were some whispered words too cherished f
Was tho touch of lips, too sweet t '
Are two souls oncu linked together
Never, never more to meet? .
Never here, earth's poor, tain passion, .

But its imIils shiill return fou ....

Was tho priceless love you lavished
Sought for, plriyeci With, nnd then slain?
Wero its crushed and tiuiv'riiiff rcniiiiiiits

Calmly too thu retuniitiU gather,
wring meni noniu without a sigh,
Sweet letunis.they yet t-hall bring j0u
ah u coming iiye-iina-Dye."
Is your frail boat tossed and battered,
With its sails ull (oru nnd wi t.
Crossing o'er a waste of waters
Over which vour sou liux set. ?
To thu shore all calm and sunlit,
To the smooth bund warm uud dry,
Faith shall bear your shuttered vcaaul

Are the eyelids very weary,
Does tho tired Iicud long for rest,
iVro the temples hot ami throbbing,
Aud the hands toiretlior nressoil
Hope shall lay you on her bosom,
Cool the Door litis nun-lied ami drv
And shall whisper, "liest is couiing.

And when calmed and cl.eertd and freshened
Hy her soul-inspiring voice,
Then look up, the heavens are bright'ning,
Cease your wailing and rejoice;
Cry not out lor days departed,
ione will hear you, none reply
But look on where light is breaking "
O'er tt brighter "bye and bye."
Cover up wilh cana-t-t strivings

Jessie llulc was the meniest, prettiest,

confess 1 was deeply in love, and. in fact,
I don't beli. ve 1 could remember of ti time
when I was not iu love with her. It certain
ly was not when a youngster of twelve I
took her under r.iy especial care, feeling
prouder of my curly-headed ch-.trge than 1
could now of a mine of gold ; nor when a
tall Mwkwtird boy ut sixteen, I lirst ventured
to ask for her company homo from church ;
or still later, when, after four year's aSsenee,
1 returned to my native town and set up us
a surgeon in the house where Dr. Moore's
name had been since my earliest introduc
tion. Cakdale w:u a remarkably healthv nlaco,
or else the good people felt a little afr.iid of
trusting tlietr lives in the hands ot such a
young scapegrace as, they had known me to
be, for somehow my horse and gig found
more employment in carrying Jessie llalu
to ride than any more profitable business;
aud it is certain mora of niv time was sncut
in Mr. Hale's pleasant pat lor, than in either
stuity or practice of inoilicine. Some ot the
neighbors slily remarked that I must have
a very sick patient there to occasion such
frequent visits; and I was certain that if I
hud no patient there, all the patience I ever
hud was requited theru at times ; for of ull
the tantalizing little wretches that ever fas
cinated and provoked a poor fellow until
ho could not have told whether he was in
tho body or out of it Jeasiu Hale was the
worst.
And there was I William Trcmaine
standing six feet in my stockings, big
enough to have known better, that is sure,
Jed about by that little elf, coming und go
iug ut her every beck and call, as if. I were
a great simpleton, us in truth I must have
beotij for after playing 'yours most devoutly'
for six months, 1 win no neuier winning
than at first. Open-hearted and cnudid she
was on every other subject; bnr, just let mo
speak of love or marriage, uud I might as
well talk to a stono wall for all the sense I
could get from her, no matter how cautious
ly i iingiic npproiicu tno sutyect, sue was
always ready with some otT-hand answer as
from what I wanted as the equator from the
poles until I was almost iu despair, but
more eager after every failure. 'All is f.iir
in love uud war;' or at least I thought so,
and resolved to try tV.o result of strategy on
my willful little lady-love.
One fine morning, us we were about start
ing for a rido on horseback, nnd I was as
sisting Miss Jessie iuto tho s'.do saddle, her
horse commenced rein ing ami kicking ut on
ularming rate; of course the iuaired bits of
iron I had cautiously inserted beneath the
saddle had nothing to do with it. liy tho
time she was fairly seated he had became
)crlectly unmanageable, throwing her vio
eutly ironi the saddle; ot course I caught
her before she touched the prouud. No
sooner was she in safety, than, with a deep
groan, 1 staggered back; against the fence,
my right arm huninng helplessly by my
side, ll took nicely, fur Jctsio was beside
me in a moment.
"O Will." she said ruteously, "that terri
ble horse lias broken j our arm ; and what
wili you do? Poor Will 1 poor Will I"
How like a rascal I felt at the sight of her
distress ; but I was not going to give up
then so I answered, with unother terrible
groan, "It is nothing, dear Jessie; I would
sutler thousand times more to feci that 1
had saved your precious life."
"Hut oil, 1 am so sorry I Vt hat can lie
done for you ?" she said, in such touching
accents that I half repented.
'The end justifies the meat,.:.' I thought.
The end accomplished certainly did. - My
answer was iu a voice low and faint, as if I
was just dying.
"Ouly tell mo that you love me, Jessie,
darling; it will soothe my pain more than
anytliiug else in the world," And then,
like the great .simpleton that I as, I put;
that right ana around her, and never dis-1

OLD
covered my mistake until she sprang sudden
ly away irom me.
"Wouldn't a little brandy nnd water do
as well, Mr. Iremainef" she snid archly,
"There don't seem to be nny bones broken ;
the injury was internal, I should think."
. Wouldn't I hae sold myself for a six
pence? Hut there was no help for it ; sit I
had to own tho trick, and went homo wish
ing I had broken my arm, or neck I didn't
cure which. After that, for awhile, I was
rather shy of the love subject, for I didn't
fancy hearing of my last attempt, but 'out
of the ubundHure of tho heart tho mouth
speaketh,' ami my heart was so full of my
love for Jessie Hale, that I could not force
my tongue to keep silence very long. So
one morning, after lounging in my study
until l was tired, ot everytlnur; myself in
particular I went over the way, resolved
that the matter shtfuM Ivs dexuded- before I
rxturnod. Jesvic was Ail ting by the parlor,
window, biuVjf sewing, and humming some
merry tune to herself when I entered. "She
was looking prettier than ever. I thoucht:
and 1 found it terrible hard work to talk ou
commonplace subjects, when my mind was
so lull of the one so important to me.
At last 1 broke in upon some of her care
less nonsense with "Why in tho world
Jessie don't you say whether you love tno or
not? What is the use of keeping a fellow in
suspense forever? I believe, you do in fact
i Know you cto.
"Oh! you know, then, do ynu?"' she said
coolly, with a merry twinkle in her eye.
"Then, of course, there is no need of me
telling you."
"No, 1 did not mean it, Jessie," I Paid
pcutitently. "Cut do you love me? Will
you nnswei me, yes or no? Will you an
swer me, yes or no ("
Yes, or no," she answered.
."O Jessiu Hale," I exclaimed, impatiently,
"you will drive me crazy I"'
"A terrible misfortune, surely," she said,
with it laugh, throwing down her work und
stepping through the iow window upon the
l.-twn. "Xow Will, I will tell you what I
will do if you will promise never to plague
me again about this."
"1 will promise anything if yon will only
give on honest answer," 1 said eagerly.
"Well, then, if you can catch me befeore
I reach tho elm tree, I will give you a can
did answer, upon my honor."
I thumped my head against the window
sash, and away I went racing over the green
sward with ten times more eagerness than
I ever displayed in playing catch in my boy
hood days. A very dignified proceeding
truly, for a staid surgeon. All the gossips
in Oakdale would have held up their hands
in pious horror had they seen nic then ; but
I did not euro if half tho world saw me, so
intent was 1 on catching that Hying gipsy;
and catch her 1 did, belor sue was half way
to the ohl elm.
"Xow for the answer," I snid eagerly.
"Oh; but can't you wait until I get
breath " drawing it in quick, spasmodic
jerks, like some dilapidated f-tetun engine.
"Let me sec ; what was it I promised to tell
you?"
"triietlior yen love me or not, you pro
voking little wretch !" I said, fairly out of
patience.
"Now look here, Mr. Will,, if yon don't
leave oil' calling me names 1 won't tell you
at ull ; though perhaps this is love talk is it?
Will, I promised you suy '
"Of course you did; so don't be all day
about it."
"If you hurry nic I can't speak at ull ; tor
it will take me some time to think over tho
objects of my love to see if you are among
them. Let mo see." beginning to count
her lingers "there's Chloe, thats one; and
l'lince though he hurt your arm, you know
is two ; and old liriudle is three ; nnd
Watch is four, and let mo see yes, there
is Mr. William Trctnaino is five.
I don't thir.k I stopped to thank her for
that answer, and if my return to tho parlor
was uot us rapid as my exit from it, it was
certainly tar more dignified. 1 had taken
my hat ami was out of the gate before Jessiu
reached the house.
I went home in no enviable state of mind,
resolving that I would never go near her
again. Hut by the time 1 reached my study
my anger Bad cooled considerably, nnd i
sat down iu my arm chair and began to
think of any plan just as 1 had done a hun
dred limes before, how I could outwit this
provoking little elf. Have her I would; but
how? That was the question.
"A letter for you sir," called out tho boy
nt the door.
I took the letter and tore it open. I was
too much occupied with uiy thoughts to
cure much what its contents were ; but tho
first few lines fixed my attention. It was
from au undo of mine a surgeon in a flour
ishing village making me a very advantage
ous oiler il I would come uud take this place.
This was just the situation 1 had been want
ing " for years, and I hailed it with delight
now.
A moment's reflection showed me what
was needed, for if she really cared for me,
my absence would mako her willing to ac
knowledge it. It did uot take long to make
arrangements, uud before night they were
all completed; and thu next morning I
started for the station, culling at Mrs. Hale's
on the way, to bid Jeesiu good-bye. I could
see the little witch did uot believe one word
of the story I told her.
"I hope, Mr. Will, you won't break your
arm iu the train ; it would make it so bail
for you," the suid, with a queer smile, as I
concluded.
"And you not there to euro it," I retort
ed. "Hut seriously, Jessie, I am in earnest now.
It is probable I shall not see you again for
years ; for if I like the place I shall remain
there."
She still believed it some trick, for her
eyes said plainly, 'you cant cheat mo again.'
And she s.i k I good-bye as coolly as if it were
only for a day. I weut down the walk, feel
ing much us I think Adam must have felt
when he left Puradise, except that his Eve
weut with ldui and I left mine behind.
1 was well pleased with the pi vee, and
was not long iu accepting my uncle's propo
sal. I wrote to this effect to a lawyer, do
siring hitu to dispose of my property at Oak
dule. I know Jessie would hear of it and it
would give her to understand that I had no
intention of returning, determined that if I
did not succeed this time, I would give up
forever, though my heart gave a quick throb
of puiu at the thought.
It wus just at twilight, of a pleasant Sep
tember day, when I reached Oakdulo. Di
rect to Mr. Hale's I took my way, saying
over to myself as I went, 'Now or never!"
truight up the gravel wulk aud across the
broad luwn I weut, and ou into tho dusky
parlor, unannounced. Hy the light, I taw
Jessie kitting ou a sofa, her head roasting on
a pillow. She was aloue ami hud not beard
my step. Was she asleep f A quick too
anew mod me. Tbai augurs well for my suc
SERIES, VOL 25, M 24,
cess. It a moment I was kneeling beside
her, and hud ruined the bowed head.
"Jessie 1 dear Jessie !" I said tenderly,
scarcely knowing how bIio would receive it.
With a quick start Bnd a glatl cry of sur
prise ner neaa was pillowed on my bosom.
"O, I am so glad to see you, Will I They
told mo you would not return, and I have
been so lonely without you."
"And I have been lonely, too, Jessie, dar
ling," I said. "My fconiu anywhere would
always be lonely without you. Will you not
go aud share it with me ?"
The answer was very low, but I knew it
was in the ullirmative.
"Will you become my wife next week?"
I was determined to make sure work now.
There was some hesitations nnd a few ob
jections raised, but 1 finally gained the Bame
answer to tuat. -
Then I hurried to the drawincr-room. to
see tho old folXsrt Tlfiire was considerable
pleasure expressed nt hiy unexpected arrival,
and great surprise was manifested when niv
errand was mado known; and a few tears
and regrets from the mother nt parting with
Jessie, and congratulations from the father
conciuueu by tho remark. "I hat pist as
likely as not she would change her mind
w hile changing her dress."
I think 1 accomplished more in that half
hour than I ever iu twice that length of time
before or since ; for nt its expiration I was
supremely happy. And the result, was that
in a week I got tho ptetiest, best '.ittlo with
in all England; and what is better still I
think so now, even though she did say, ten
minutes after tho ceremony, "1 never tol'd
you I loved you, Will 1"
And sho never has, to this day.

ClaAUACS: A.S 'i'lEi: 'l'AII.flt-ES.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times tell the following story of tho times
of Louis XIV :
Chamaco had been one of tho Kings's
pages and an ollicer in his body-guard.
Iu early life he had played some very strange
pranks, but luiu always met with favor and
protection from the King. He did many
clever things, but one in particular in which
he was engaged made everybody laugh. He
had a long and handsome avenue to his
chateau iu Aujou, in which a peasant had a
little house mid garden which had stood in
the same spot long before the avenue was
planted, and which neither Chainuce nor
his father could ever persuade tho rustic to
sell on any terms. This, observes Saint
Simon, with proper disdain for "so low a
person, is a species of obstinacy w hich petty
proprietors often show expressly to annoy
people of condition. Charnace pretended
to let tho matter drop, and lor a long time
said no more about it.
At last, disgusted that a paltry cottage
should intercept the sweep of his tine avenue,
he conceived a scheme to get rid of it. It
chanced that the owner of the cottage was
a tailor, and worked at his trade whenever
an opportunity oli'eicd. He lived alone,
having neither wife nor children. One lino
day, Chnrnnee ml for him, and snid that
he was suddenly ordered up to court to fill
l.i ..tl.n.1 r.l nr.. .if , ,1 . . rt I rt tlllll lt.1 U'IJ
that he
anxious to get there as soon as possible, und
in. t i.i .1 ,V i;,...i,. ir i,i k.-i-v,.iiu lu.
wished them to be made forthwith. Tho
tailor agreed, and the bargain was struck on
the spin7. Charnace stipulated, however, to
avoid unnecessary delay, he should do the
work nt the chateau, and that if he promised
not to quit it until it was finished he would
pay him something over and above, besides
bourdiug ami lodging him. The tailor set
to work ou tho spot. In tho meantime
Charnace got au architect to make an exact
plan of the house and garden, thu rooms,
tho furniture, aud even the kitchen utensils.
He then sent workman to pull down tho j
house, take away everything that was in it, j
and reconstruct it exactly as it had been, j
internally and externally, tit some distance '
from the avenue, with every urtielo iu its
place, and the garden exactly as it hud i
been. I
They then cleared away all traces of it .
from tho ground it originally stood upon, ;
so that nobody could guess that it had been
there at ull. This was completed before
the tailor, who was carefully watched, had
finished his liveries. When tho liveries. !
wero completed, Charnace paid his man I
well, kept him to supper, nnd then dis- !
missed him. The tailor set out for his homo j
at nightfall. 1 lu found tho avenue un- j
usually long, thought he had gone too far, I
retraced his steps and looked about for the j
well known trees near which his house !
stood. Tho night was dark, and he groped !

not gone astray; but that houe and garden
.had ull disappeared, and ho cutno to the
conclusion tout ho was the sport ot some
evil spirit. After wandering about a good
deal ho thought he perceived at a con-
siderable distance from thu avenue a cottngo
which greatly resembled his own, though ho
knew that there never had becu One in tho

fit the lock, llo opened the door, walked
in, and was thunderstruck on finding not
only that the rooms were the. same, but that
every single article of furniture was the same,
und precisely in the same spot where he had
left them. Ho wus near fainting with
fright; ho fell on his kness und prayed, for
he religiously believed that tho demon had
played him this trick. The following day,
however, ho learned the truth fiom the
mocking and luughiug of tho villagers to
whom he told Ins story. Jlo got unions,
weut with his complaint to the intendent of
thu province, and insisted upon getting
salisfacaion ; but he ouly got laughed at.
The King heard the story, aud laughed more
than unybody. and Charnace hud his avt-uue

A writer iu tho Prarie Farmer, over th
signature of ''Wool Grower," tell a Ion;
and marvelous story about his shepherd d ig
from which wo make tho fiill.iwino- .
tracts ;
"I will add a short ncconnt of what I usoi
to do with my dog "Colonel,' which. I feai
tliose who havo never seen a well brokci
dog work will bo apt to class among ou
dog stories.
'When 'Colonel' was six months ohl
drove hiin with a Hock of sheep from Oiii
to Illinois, spending forty-scveu days on th
road. He hud never been behind a" flock o
sheep until the day I started. In four week
I could send him in a hundred acre pasture
and he w ould make a circuit of it and brint
tho flock out without leaving a -sheep, am
without hurrying them out ot a walk. H
tho wiiy, it Is very important to bronk a d'-:
to go slow the most of ilo'gs uro' tooeuge
and hurry sheep too much.
I ferried the Wabash river at Africa. Th
boat ran upon a low level bar where ther
were no yards or fences to assist in L'ettiin
the sheep uboard. Wilh two hands and th
dog 1 loaded thd boat without having ti
catch one ot them, and the flock made 15 v
bout loads. I got up on tho bank wher
the dog could see me well, and then by mo
ttons made him jam the Hock down tight t.
the boat, and w hen well jammed up, lnniin
on their backs, and by barking and nippitij
not sevete enough to call it biting shovet
them right in. No ten men without a do;
could have loaded them so soon, if the
could have done it at all.
When I hnd occasion to drive not to cx
cccd ten hundred sheep a few miles, I want
ed no other help but tho dog's. I hav.
driven thut many sheep along the road si
or tight miles, w here it was unfeuced, some
times, on ono aud sometimes on the other
and sometimes on both sides, myself beini
ahead of the flock. The dog behind, th
sheep so strung through tho timber tha
perhaps I did not see the dog for un hour n
a time.
."When the flock got to spreading ou
fanshaped, as a Hock will w here there is
chance to pick, "Colonel' would go out an
turn in thu corners, passing up just fu
enough to elVect thut purpose, nnduo fttrtut
lie used, apparently, as much judgement i
pussing up tiie side ol the Hock just so fi
as would a man. When ho was iu doul
about an order, he w ould stop aud look bac
until tho order was repeated.
"I have many a day driven all over th
prairie, nnd taken a Hock in every dircctioi
by walking on before, leaving him to brin
tho sheep after me, without looking nt hit
or speaking to him. I could send him tw
miles out. into the prairie,, after n thoustui
sheep which wero strung for half u mile.au
ho would collect and drive them all up t
me. I have owned other dogs which wotil
do the same, but none but hitu thut did m
tush tho sheep too hard.
"I coul tlsend 'Colonel' over a funae o
ahead a quarter of a mile, to stand in
cros I. mo to prevent tho flock from tun
ing out of tho road. I have herded a fio
sand sheep with him for weeks, on pice s t
