Ay, ilttil is prowinj? AA, John,
llisj eyes nre. getting clim,
And yenrs ro on his aliouUlcr laitl,
A heavy weight for him ;
But you and I nro young nnd hale,
And each a stnlwnrt mnn,
And wo must mnke his load as light
And easy its we can.
lie 9cd to tuke (he brunt, John,
. At cradle nnd tlio plow,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trinkled from his brow;
Yet never heard wc him complain,
AY li at e'er his toil might be,
For wanted e'er a wcleomo scat
t Upon liU solid knee.
And when our boy strength camo, John,
And sturdy grew each limb,
lie brought ut to the yellow Held
To share the toil with him ;
But ho went foremost in tho swath,
Tossing aside the grain,
Juttt liko the plow thrt heaves tho soil,
Or ships that shear the main.
Now wo must lead the van, John,
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and clozo,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind it, John, you know,
At eve to tell us o'er
Those brave old tales of British times,
Of grandad and tho war.
I heard you speak of ma'am, Jotn,
'Tis gospel what you say,
Tlmt caring for the like of us
lias turned her head' so gray;
Yet, John, I do remember well,
When the neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and liko
A gleaming sheaf of grain.
Uer lips were cherry red, John,
Her cheek was round and fair,
And liko ft ripened peach it swelled
Against her heavy hair ;
Her. Btep foil lightly as the leaf
1'rom olT the summer tree,
And all day lmsy at the wheel
She sang to you and me.
She had a buxom nrm. John,
That wielded well the rod
"Whene'er with wilful step our feck
The pnth forbidden trod;
Bui In the heaven of her eyu
We no"er looked in vain,
Aud evermore our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that is long ago John,
And wc are what we nro,
And little heed we day by day
Her fading cheek and hair ;
Ah, when beneath her feeble breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then, John, that we most shall feel
We had no friend like her.
Suro there can bo no harm, John,
Thus speaking gently o'er
The blessed names of those, ere long,
Shall weledme us no more.
Nay ! hido it not, for why shoulddt thou
An honest tear disown 1 .
Thy heart one day will lighter be,
Keniembering it h;n Mown.
For dad ia growing old, John,
His eyes are getting dim.
And ma'am is treading softly down
The dim descent with him.
But you nnd 1 oie young and hale,
And each n stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And level as we can.
TALES AND SKETCHES.
A DAY I. rilTl'lCOATM.
UV A MODKST VOCJiQ MAS.
"I couldn't think of such thing."
"it ut yon lntiht. My happyncss depends
on it: Here, put on thingumbobs, and tlio
what's his name."
And my friend Bob Styles held up before
my hesitant gaze if whole suit of feminine
apparel.
) I is idea was that I should personate his
lady love for one dnv, to prevent anybody
from suspecting the truth namely that
she had joined him in a runaway marriage
party until it slioukl be too late for inter
ference ; that is until tho minister should
havo tied ft knot between tlicm nothing but
a special grant of the Legislature could un
tie.
The scheme was not actually so absurd as
it appeared nt first sight. Muggio I.eo was
a tall, queenly woman, with an almost mas
culine air, and at the time I had ft very
slignt - fcjin almost elilninate,, so that in :
tact, tltero was really but little ilillercr.ee on
that point. Then I had light hair parted
in the middle, and put a bonnet on my bead
and few persons will suspect that I was not
of the softer sex. These accessories also
gave me quite a decided resemblance to
Maggie Lee, especially wuen as in this case
thcitlisguise was her own.
Then the duy chosen for the runaway
match was an auspicious one, Maggie's pa
was to drive her to I , ft small village
near where she lived, and there she was to
join a sailing down D river to tho grove
three miles below; from which the party
was to return in carriages.
Our iilun was that I should bo waiting; in
tho village, and should go on tho boat witlt
the sailing party, while Maggie, after leav
ing ncr lamer should slip oil wttli Iiol
Styles across the country.
At last I cot dressed, ana presented my
self before Maggie, blushing a great deal, I
believe, fceliu;; very much tunclied about
tho waist, and with an uncomfortable con
sciousness that my shirt sleeves were too
sliort; or waiting altogether.
Lvervtlnng hnislicd, in the way of toilet.
Bob styles took mo iuto his light wacon and
drove me over to D- , by a secluded route.
and left me at the hotel, where the sailing
party was to assemble, heveral ot the pick
nickers were already there, and they greet
ed my cavalier with cordiality (everybody
Knew .uou btyies.) asking if tie was going
with them. Ho told them he was not.
Pressing business engagements you know,
and all that sort of thing. Dueced so(ry I
can't go, though. I just had time to bring
Miss Leo over, aud now I'm off Mr. Bimby,
this is Miss Lee. Miss Withcrgall. Miss
Lee," and he had rattled off a long string
ot Uriel introductions, which eonvienced me
that but few of the company were acquint
ed with the young lady whom I was thus
personating a very foituuate thing for the
preservation of my disguise.
Mr. Biuiby, a tall, legal-looking man,
wit lift hook nose, and tu glass and puffy
hair , teemed to be pleased with wy ptroontl-
lo, and I overboard him whisper ' to Bob
Styles, as ho went out :
"Nice looking girl thrft Miss Lee."
"Yes," answered Bob, with a mischievous
glance at me, "sho is a nice girl, though a
little go ahead aomotiuies. Keep a little
look out on her, will you"-aheti lowering
his voice said "not a bad match for you,
old fellow, sho is rich."
"Is she l"' said Bimby, his interest deepen
ing. "On my honor," replied Bob. "Forty
thousand dollars in her own right. Day,
day !"and ho was gone.
Maggie Leo artful creature ns sho was;
had told her father that tlio sailing party
was to assemble at amtlrer hotel, ami thith
er lie Had taken lier. Having business in
D , he left her there, merely saying he
would send the carriago for her at eleven
o'clock. She likc.a dutiful daughter, kiss- !
ed lum and bid Win good bye, nnd belore
ho had got a hundred rod-"., got into Bob
Stylet' light wagon, which had driven up to
the back door as Mr. Leo drove from the
front, and tho old story of headstrong love
and prejudiced age, was enacted over uguin.
As tor us of the pic-uic excursion, we had
a deliglittul sail down to tlio Urnve, but
somehow, I could not enjoy it. as much as
I ought to havo done. hen I walked on
board the boat, I felt a kwnrd as if every
body was looking at mo. I found Mr. Bim
by, as I had suspected, a young unit rising
lawyer, mighty in Bluckslono nnd Vis own
opinion. Ho insisted on paying lay fare
(the boat was a regular excursion packet)
nnd purchosing enough oranges, pears, and
candies, to set up a elreet stand. Four or
live times 1 was on llie point ol sweating at
his impudent otliciousness. but bit my
tongue just in time to prevent my exposure.
But it was not with him that I found my
koi,b the hardest to play.
Iso tho young laities were thrt difficult
ones to deceive. For instance there was
one among them, a beautiful girl of seven
teen, just returned f'tor.i hoarding school,
who had not seen Maggie; Leo for three
years. Of course she was delighted to sec
me, when sho found that 1 was Maggie Lee;
which by the way, did not occur nut il after
wo had started. Sbe threw herself into my
arms, pulled my veil aside, and kissed nic
half a dor.en times, in a manner that made
my linger ends twiugle lor an hour. It was
all" very nice, but if 1 had been in l'Koi'iit.v
pkusosa, I would have like. I it latter. As
it was, I lelt as if I was 'obtaining goods
under false pretense,' nuu lawyer Bimby
might issue a warrant for n.y tirrett on that
ground nt any moment.
A whole lot of crinoline 'then surrounded
me, on tho upper deck of thu bout, , to tho
titter disgust of Mr. Biuiby and all the other
gentlemen. I kept very quiet, only speak
ing in monosyllables, in a falsetto voice,
but the others Lord bless you ! how they
gabbled! Under a strict promise of sccresy,
tlie little boarding scliocl inniden who hud
kissed me so Affectionately, revealed, nil her
love nffairs nnd also became unpleut-ar.tly
confidential about other matters iiinncoiit
enough in themselves, but not customarily
talked of between ladies and gentleman.
I was terrible iemli.irrnssed, but it, would
not do to give i'.p then. As soon as my
trick should become known, Bob Styles'
trick would come out, und news of that
kind travels fast it: the country, he nnd his
lady love would bo telegraphud, ami follow
ed, before they could reach Philadelphia,
where Stvlos lived and where the huol waa
to bo tied.
Tho river breeze was very fresh where
we snt, and 1 noticed that several of the
ladies were glancing uneasily nt me. 1
couldn't divine the lesson, until Jennie, my
little friend from the boarding school, laid
her fare dangerously close to mine, nnd
whispered : 'My dear Maggie, your dre?s is
blowing terribly high yoiir ntikles will be
the town talk with tho gentleman I'
Now I was conscious of having a very
small foot for a man, and had donned a pair
of open worked stockings which fume up
nearly to iny waist, with a pair of gaiti rs
borrowed from a servant gill, iu nil of which
toggery my 'running gear' looked quite fe
minine nnd respectable but the idea of the
gentlemen talking about my ankles, who
would have been frightened "to death if I
had told her the same thing yesterday, was
two much for ir.e. I burst into a tort of
strangled laugh, "vliich I eould only check
by swallowing half of my filagree lace edged
handkerchief. The voung Indies nil looked
nt mo in apparent nstouUhment at such a
voice, and 1 wanted to laugh all the more.
Fortunately, Mr. Bimby came to my rescue
at the moment and edged himself in among'
the crinoline.
'May I sit here ? he asked, pointing to a
low stool near me.
Certainly,' I simpered in my high falset
to.
'Ah, thank vou,' said J'.itnhv, with a htek-
adaiscul air, which nanseuted me, as coming
from one man to another ; you are as hind
as you are facionaVmg

'I I No indeed ; praise of you cannot be
flattery, Miss Lee.'
Oh, sir, really, you are ft very naughty
man,' 1 said in the most feminine tone I
eould command.
Ho east a languishing glance at mo thro'
the black laey veil, and 1 fairly began to fear
Ins feelings.'
We soon arrived at tho grove, and found
our band, engaged before hand, awaiting
us. Of course dancing was the first amuse
ment, and lawyer Bimby led me out for a
schottische. It was hard at first to take
a lady's part iu tho dance, but 1 soon got
accustomed to it. A waltz was proposed,
and I resolved to have a iittlo amusement
at the expense of tho unfortutiuto Mr. Bim-
I had first made him purposely jealous by
dancing with two other young i'cilows, one
of whom I knew in my own character, but
who never suspected me n3 Maggio Lee.
The young mnn was a great woman killer;
a sort of easy devi'.-mayenro rascal, who
made the ladies run after him, by his alter
nate wrath of action and coolness of protes
tation. 1 selected him to play off against
my "legal admirer. I allowed him to hold
on me very closely, and occasionally looked
at him with a halt fascinating expression,
when we stopped tbmcing he led me to my
scat, keeping his an.: :.!out my waist, anil I
permitted it.
Having thus stirred Bimby up to wrath
ful feats of valor, I asked one of the gentle
men to direct the musieinns to play a waltz.
Bimby came immediately.
Ahein a Mis Lee, shall I have the honor
of a trying a wakz with you ('
I smiled a gracious acquiescence, and we
commenced.
Now, I am an old stagger at waltzing. I
can keep up longer tliau uuy nun-profession-ul
dancer, male or female, who 1 ever met.
As long be the C'aohuca or Schouubrun-
mim rings In my ears, I can go oiif it is a
year.
A ot so, Bimby. He plead want of prac
tice, nnd said that he soon got dizzy,
'Aha, old boy,' thought I, I'll give you n
turn then 1'
But I only smiled, and said that I should
probacy gut tired first.
'Oh, yes'!' he exclaimed. 'Of course, I
can waltz us long lis any one lady, but not
more.'
For the first three minutes my cavalier
did well. He went anion! lily mid evenly,
but at the expiration of- that time began to
grow warm. Five -minutes ehpsed, nnd
Bimby's breath camo harder und harder.
On he wcr.t, however, and I scorned to no
tice hin slackening up at every round, when
wc pns-:ed my r.eal. After come ten or
twelve minutes, the wretched man gisped
out between his steps.
'Ah, n aro you not get getting very
tired.'.
'Oh no !' Ibii'rst forth, ai coolly as if wc
wero riding around the room ; 'Oh, no, I
feel as if I could dance all night.'
The look of despair that ho gave me was
terrible to see.
1 was bo-ind to cc Mm through, nnd wc
kept at it. Bimby staggered and r'-v.'.e wild
steps in all direct'e-ns. 3 i is shirt collar
wilted, eyes protruded, his jaw hung down ;
and altogether, 1 saw he coul.l not hold out
much longer.
'This is delightful.' said I 'and you, Jlr.
Bimby waltz so easily.'
'Puff puff ah -putT--yes oh puff
very, puff delightful,' he gasped.
'Don't you think it ouht, to go a little
faster !' '
He rolled his eves heavenward in ngnpy
Ah, puff
-puff I dou't ah puff don',
know.
So when we ncarcd the musicians, I
'Faster, if vou please faster, and
said
thev
played A l..v whirlwind.
Poor Bimby threw his feet about like ft
fust pacer, and revolved niter tho mutii-.cr of
a teetotum which was nearly run down. At
last he ftaggtrid a step backwards, and
spinning eccentrically away from inr, i ilcit
cd headlong into tlio midst of a bevy of
young ladies in a corner. I turned round
coolly, walked to my scat, and sent, the
young v.omuu kil'er after a glass of ice
water.
The miserable lawyer recovered his senses
just in time to sec uie thank his rival tor
the water.
I got some idea from this of the furi young
ladies have in tormenting us poor devils o!
the other sex.
At this juncture, and before Mr. Bimby
had time to apologize for his accident, lit
tle Jennie came running into tho pavillion
which served for n ball-room. As she came
near, 1 perceived hir handi were clutched
tightly in her dress, and 1 ioasiiiveiy shud
dered as she whispered to me
'Oh, Maggie, come and help me lix my
skirts they are coming down.'
What should I do y 1 was in ng ony. A
cold prespiration broke out aover my fore
head. 1 wished myself a thousand miles
awav, and anathematized Bob Stjles' mas
querading project inwardly, with fearful I
malcdic'.ioi.s.
1 said I wa9 tired out could not sonic-
body else go I
IS'o; nothing would do 1 ut I r.mst nccom- i
pany her to the house of a gentleman v. ho ,
owned the grove, and ttosisL her to arrange
her clothing.
So 1 went.
'What il it should be necessary to remove
the greater part of her raiment 1 "What if
i she should tell me to do sonic sewing i
What if iu the niul-t of nil the cmbarra-'s-uietita
of being closeted with n beautiful
girl of seventeen, in a state of comparative
freedom from drapery, my real sex should
bo discovered.
1 felt as if nn nppopletic fit would be a
fortunate occurrence for me just then.
However, I nerved myself for the task,
and Accompanied Jennie to tho house de
signated. An old lady showed us into her
chamber, and Jennie, heaving n sigh of re
lief, let go her dress, As sha did so, n
pardon my blushes a petticoat fell to the
llbor. She was about to proceed, but I
alarmed her by a sudden and vehement ges
ture. 'Slop !' I cried frantically, and forgetting
my falsetto ; don't undress for Cod's sake!"
She opened her great brown eyes to their
widest extent. "
'And wliv not V

claimed, putting my hand over her mouth.
'1 swear I mean no hurm ; if 1 had 1 would
not have slopped you. Don't yon see V
She was all of a tremble, poor little thing,
but she saw thej'orce of my argument.
'Oh, sir. she said, I sec you ore a man ; but
what does it all lueau 1 AVhy did you dress
so.'
I told her tho story as briefly ns possible
after exacting from her a promise of the
most sacred tecrecy.
1 then went outside tho door, and waited
till sho had arranged her dress, when tsiic
called mo again. , She had beard of me
from Maggio and others and she wanted to
hear all tlio particulars ; so I sat down by
her and wo had a long talk, which ended iu
mutual feelings of friendliness and old
acquaintanceship, quite wonderful for peo
ple meeting the first time. Just as we
starled to go back to tho paviuion, I 'said I
must relievo my miud uf just otto mure bur
den. 'And what is that ?' sho said.
'Those kisses. Vou thought I was Mag
gie Lee, or you would not have given them.
They wero very sweet, but I suppose 1 must
give them back.
And I did.
Sho blushed a great deal, but she didn't
resist, only when 1 got through, she glanced
up and said ;
'I think you are real naughty anyhow.'
When we retreated, I found lawyer Bim
by quite recovered from his diz.z.iness nud
all hands ready for (upper, which - was serv

and Jennie ; and made love ta both in turn ;
