Above the golden crocus-beds ;
Ptayeth his trembling wing j
And by old ponds the daffodil .
Is bowing to the brcexc,
That stirs in grassy lanes the bough
Of clustering linrel trees (
And on thu lonely mountain-side.
By wood-paths mossed and gray, '
And' far up on the pasture-slopes,
Glcamelb the daisy's ray.
And uoy( U) tcadens spreadinjj far
Round antiquated halls, .
With broad clear moats reflecting back .
Smooth turf and terraced wolls,
The dark yews wear n fresher green,
And sueet ut early dawn
. The scent of hynciulhs Uout forth
O'er walk and dewy lawn
And cool winds, that nt even-time
Down the long alleys pass,
Lay tha blossoms of the almond-tree
In crowds upon thu grass.
Bright, blessed Spring! thy coming bid
A thousund thought arise',
Heautilul us the pearly light
Of thine own changing skies.
We pluck thy wild up-gftineiiig flowers.
And wander by thy streams,
And thy sunshine brings to us again
The joy of vanished dreams ;
For down the vista of patt years
Faint harp-like echoes ring,
Borne to our hearts upon thy brcntU,

MY MOTHER'S LOVE STORY.
Phil Urndley was a puppy nud a cox
comb. The time ling, enmo when I con 11' 1 9
it. thougli six )enrs ngo I should Imve
visitt'd with my indigniition the uuforlu
nnto Buggostcr of such an idea, for l'hil
15rndley was my first love.
A wotuati never likes to acknowledge
that the mnn who hns hnd the astuteness
to UiHcreen her ierfections is a fcnl : and
even after the acknowledgment hns been
mnde to herself, site don't like to own it to
olheis. or to have others think so. i!ut.
as I UuA'o.caUl, tho time hns come wheu I
admit i'liil 'jradleys puppyism, aud laugh
at it ns frcelv as anybody. r
Ah, well t it was a happy time for all
that, when I sat at my window, villi up
turned eyes, repeating verses to the hioou,
nnd thinking of haatbome l'hil. It was a
draam, though a plenaaut one, aud like a
dream it has vanished, leaving only a
vnguo memory behind.
1 can't pet up a sentiineut, or the shndow
of a sentiment, on tho subject new, nud if
I could, niy two noisy boys, nud hearty,
whole-soulud husband, would soon strangle
the sickly thing; but I Irunblu to think
what au escape I had.
How I laugh to myself, nnd congmtulnlo
tnvself, and hug myself for joy, when I
think of this I 1 cyeu fall into conceit of
myself, and admire nijsclf, when 1 consider
that it wits my own good sense thnt saved
me. Wonderful, incredible as it may seem,
the fuel is that 1, a girl in love, actually
listened to reason iiblcncd to niy mother's
warnings. I believe it is tho only case on
record, and likely to continue so. It was
tho exception that proves tho rule.
Hut ol course the statement of facts will
be necessary to obtain credence for bo ex-
traopUiwry nn assertion. .
My parents hnd been from the first op
posed to l'hil lirndley, nud hnd tried all
the useful means of opposition, with thu
usual happy results in the lover'B fityor.
What daughter ever thinks her parents
qualiticd lo judge ot such subjects.
One afternoon 1 had been enjoying a
stolon ramble with l'hil, when my good, or
evil fortuue brought us suddenly liico to
litoo with my u'Uu.;-.
I was covered with confusion, but my
mother, taking no uotice, passed quietly
011. Un my return home, however, she
scut for me to -ono lu her room.
1 expected a btortn, and was prepared
with the requisite nmoiiutof stubbornness,
sauciiRss nud sulks, but niy mother met
mo w ith a look just us culm uud pleasant
as usual, ana insU'iul id tha lecture 1 ex
pected, slui merely said, cheerfully :
'hit down, daughter, and help ine with
this piece td work 1 mu iu a hurry to get
Mulshed, and while we are woikiug I'll lull
you a story. "
As mother was a perfuct Kcheherenulo
for the uumbcr aud leugth of her storio, I
was in no way sui prised, though ninth de
lighted with the piopoW. 1 settled myself
comfortubly at I sir leot, and slut noau :
"Thu story 1 am goiug to ull you, my
dear, is one of rouiuiiou and love. Moth
lug verv remarkiilile, jHirlmpx, but what
you will lliiuk sliuiiiio is lliitt 1 myself am

youth, nnd- besides Wing a Spaniard by
birth, wns nn olliccr in our nnvy two cir

nvflulic eyes, with nlmost irresistible at
tractions. "There was ft vnst nniount of myslery.

there is little doubt but thnt it would hnvc
ended, ere long, in a runnwny marriage,
but that fortunately my Spaniard wns sud
denly summoned lo Spain ou aomo urgent

"I lcavo'our hurried parting to your
Imagination. I felt liko one lrom whom
the breath of life had been withdrawn after
Antnyio's departure.
"Though in a hurry of purling nothing
hnd been (-aid on the subject, und I hud
not even his address, the hoie of henritig
from him was the only thing Ut which I
looked forward with any interest. HoW I
loyged for my first letter, nivd tried to
fti'ncy nil the fond things it would contain,
lint I waitt d nnd longed in vain. There
came for nie no letter. Weeks, months
nay venrs went by, 1 nc-er received the
lirst fine.
"Qf conrsc, I began by suspecting my
tvtreuts of intercepting my lover's epistles.
What gifl who hnd received even a decent
novel-leading cfducnliou could liavo drawn
any other conclusion i But, Unfortunate

was so promptly and decidedly denied that,
knowing their uprightness, 1 could uo

"JSIovly the dreadful idea dawned upon

search to be nindo among old newspapers
of nnd subsequent to the date of Antonio's
departure, nnd nt last (liseoyercd a para
graph noticing tho death by drowning of ft
passenger, name unknown, ou board the
ship itf which he sailed.
"I had no longer doubled that my worst
fears were true, ati4 the conviction plunged
me into the most profound grief. 1 with
drew from society. 1 clad myself in the
deepest mourning. I rejected my father's
friendly counsels, niy mother's attempts nt
sympathy nud consolation.
"A Hew and solemn aspect wns given to
my already strong nlleclion. l)enth had
sanctioned my heart's first tender attach
ment, nud transformed it into something
pure nnd sacred.
"1 considered it a duty ns well as n sad
pleasure to mourn iu. hopeless lidelity for
thu loved and lost. 1 was emulous to inii
Vf.to those faithful women who consecrated
their lonely lives to tho memory of the be
loved dead. 1 was emulous to bo another
Jleloise to find in the quiet shades of the
cl.isiler the repose aud tranquility which
was till 1 bad to hope on earth.
"The idea obtained so strong a hold on
my imagination thnt nt last it became a
lixed resolve. In vain my poor parents

"Nor was this so strange as you may
