-IF WE KXEW."
If we knew the woe and heart-ache,
Waiting for ns down the road,
If our lips could taste the worm-wood.
If onr backs could feel the load ;
Would wc waste to-day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be ?
Would we wait in such impatience
For our ships lo come from sea T
If we knew the baby-finger
Pressed against the window-pane,
Would be cold aud stiff to-morrow
Xcver trouble tis again ;
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow 1
Would the print of rosy fingera
Vex us then as they do now ?
Ah, those little ice-cold Angers,
How they point our memories hark,
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track !
How those little hands remind n.,
As in snowy grace they lie.
Not to scatter thorns, but roses,
For our reaping by-and-byc !
Strange we n' rm- w- !-
Till ti-. .waat-voiced birds has Gown ;
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone ;
Strange that summer skies aud sunshine
Never seem one-half so fair
as when winter's suowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air !
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth today ;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us iu sweet accent
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the suubcamn
Lying all along the path ;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us fiud our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day ;
With a patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

.MAY ASHLEY'S RIXG.
BY "lento" of TUB "caliox sun."
'You haven't answeroil my question yet,
Harry Situ! 1 suppose, then, you ctnwt
answer it, o all thera is for us to do, is to
part.'
They were walking by the river tids,
that still .September night, May Ashky
and Harry Situ. The mellow moon hung
high in the hrovens. aud shone tlown uptn
the broad, rippling river, and the fir
stretch of moadow-liiud beyond it, and tie
lovers Undin; together by an old tru?,
that had witnessed so many interviews .n
years that it had rustled and whispend
there by the river path.
May was but seventeen proud, inpa
tient and seusilive. There was a hasy
Hush upon her pale, pretty face, and a
stormy light iu her eyes. Harry Sim stoj
ped, aud took both the teuder, restles
hands iu his.
'You don't nieau it, May ! You are ar
gry now, but you surely cannot mean tit '
'Cannot I ? You think, then, that I an
so much your slave that I will submit b
anything you choose to say or do ! I wil
show you that I can live without your f
vor or your smiles. I can go away fron
here and strike out a path for myself. Yoi
may marry Hattie Gray, if you prefer he
to mc, and I will never '
'Now. May.1 interrupted Harry, 'then
is some mistake, I think 1 can explain
'No. it is too late, now, you must not
try 1 I gave you a chance, and you would
not. I see you do not care for me as
thought you did when I let you put ths
ring ou your finger,' she said, drawing .t
off as she spoke, 'and 1 will never askym
for an explanation aain ?'
Harry was growing angry. lie did nt
suppose May was iu earnest, and it pn
voked him to be set so coolly aside.
Just as you please, May !' lie sail,
drawing buck. 'You arc iu a strange mocrl
to-night, and will not listen to reason I Bit
what are you going to do ?' he asked as she
drew her shawl about her and turnI
away ; 'you are not goitig ?'
'Yes,' she answered, turning, and slew
ing a face from which all color had fades,
leaving it white still, 'yes, I am. I amgo
ing where you will never see me agiin.
You will see what I cau do to win a mine
and fortune for myself. And I will
never forgive the heartless way you hive
treated me 1'
JVtif r is a long time, May,' Harry si4;
still iucredulous, Mou't say anything you
will be sorry for.'
No, I will not,' she replied, speaking
lowly and firmly, 'I'll take that 'never'
back'
She stepped to the river side, and tossed
the ring she had drawn from her finger, far
into the rippling waves.
'When you bring that ring back to me
from the river, then, and not until than,
will I forgive you I'
And before the astonished young man
could answer, she had turned, and was flit
ting up the river path.
Then a look of pain and apprehension
came into his face, and he looked eagerly
and wistfully after the vanished girl.
'May, May, come back !' he c ried,
'don't leave me so !'
But iho did not turu, aud he would not
follow. And so, for a moment's anger,
these two who had loved each other well,
were parted.
'She will be sorry and come again to
morrow, he said to himself, as he reluc
tantly turned homeward. 'May is proud,
but she loves me too well to cast me off
like this.'
So the next night found him an anxious
watcher by the river side. But no slender.
graceful form, and proud pale face was
there to meet him, and though he came
night after night, he never saw any more
flitting down Ihe path to the old tree.
Then his pride gave way and he sought
her at a dreary boarding-house in the vil
lage, that had been her only home since
j she came there two years before, a home
j less orphan.
'No,' Miss Strong replied, in answer to
his inquiry, 'May Ashley ain't here. She

bell three days ago, and went off. She
didn't say where she was going, and as
long as she paid her board I didn't care.
She's a stuck-up piece !' with a toss of the
head, which showed that May was no fa
vorite. lie went from there to Mrs. Campbell, a
stylish young widow. She met him with
her most charming smile, but it changed
when he made his inquiry.
'Miss Ashley did not tell me where she
was going,' she said coldly ; 'She left with
out a cause. I should have been willing to
employ her longer, for she was a good
seamstress, though too independent in her
way. But as she left without consulting
me, I did not choose to inquire into her
affairs.'
He turned away with a despairing pain
at his heart. She bad gone, gone to an
ger and bitterness, jealously, that he might
so easily set right, but for a teasing impulse
and n passing touch of resentment. Gone
without leaving a single trace to tell where
he might find her. Gone without a kindly
word of forgiveness or farewell out in the
wide, wide world, with only her fair face,
her proud, tender heart, her slender, child
ish hands to tight the steru battle of life
alone.
'I have lost her my little !' he murmur
ed, as he stopped at the tree once more. 'I
never knew how much I loved her until
now :
-
Six years later, one November afternoon.
May Ashley toiled wearily up the long
stairs to the lawyer's office, where she
worked at copying. She glided into her
accustomed seat but paused a little before
taking her pen into her tired fingers, and
rested her head upon her hand.
Six long yeara 1 And the fame and the
fortune were still so far away. The girl
of seventeen who had looked lb- -"
the face, and -.- ef er,J t0
. u,, nad learned some hard lessons
since then.
It catue urtr lir with a flood of leool
lections.as she looked out through the dusty
windows from her high seat, over the tall
house-tops to the far blue sky beyond. The
parting by the river side from the one true
love of her life-time ; the anger that burn
ed fiercely for a little time, then died out,
leaving only pain and regrets ; the long,
single-handed fight with poverty, with dis
couragement, till the brave heart nearly
broke ; the lack of appreciation for the best
endeavors ; the years of want and toil ; the
passionate longing for the love and tender
ness she bad so hastily thrown away ; the
slow wasting of the years, that, after all
her glowing dreams, had only brought her,
at last, to a place where the grinding heel
of poverty no longer pressed her ; where,
by patient, constant eflort she could be
sure of a livelihood of telerable comfort
nothing more.
Was it nothing more ? Yes, the years
had taught her worthy lessons, the fiery
heart and passionate will of youth, had
given way to womanly sweelueis, and
strength ; the pale face that bent over the
books, had wou from these a stetn teach
ing, a better meaning than the sparkle and
glitter of youthful beauty ; for the olden
willfulness, it spoke now of patience ; for
the oldcu restlessness it told now of peace.
She took the pen in her fingers and began
to write, but her thoughts were far away.
Suite of all her efforts, there would come
betwetn her eyes and the paper, the sha
dow of a face looking at her through the
stillness of the September night, with love
aud surprise and reproach in the honest
brown eyes. For the thousandth time, the
lover of the girl had seemed to come before
her, looking as he had looked when she
turned from him in anger to see him no
more. A sigh rose to her lips : 'Of course
he has forgotten me ! He has married no
doubt ; I will not thiuk of him again.'
She resumed her writing, but the sound
of voices in the inner office disturbed her.
The employer was there talking with some
geutlemeu who had come in with him.
Usually, May did not mind this, though
she could hear their voices distinctly, but
this afternoon she was in a different mood,
and that she might fix her attention more
closely upon her work, she rose to close the
door. As she did so, a name dropped from
her employer's lips, caught her car and
held her spell-bound.
'There, Harry, you will find these pa
pers all right. Quite a nice little property
for a young man like you. i ou re a mciy
fellow.'
'That's what I tell him !' said another
voice, 'but he dou't seem to appreciate his
good luck. Ho looks as if he were going to
the gallows inBtead of coming into a nico
fortune.'
'The fact is, Harry,' said the lawyer,
Sou have buried yourself ia that coun
try place so long, you don't know how to
enjoy life. In the first place you must go
into society more, and the next thing
There are nlentv of irirls that

would like to lift that doleful look from
Tour face, and it is a shame for a young
man like you to mope himself to death,
Come alonz with me to dinner, and I'll in
troduce you to a splendid girl-my wife's
niece.'
Thank you,' replied a quiet voice, that
made May's heart stand still, I believe
am not so stupid always, but I happened
to fall into a brown study just then. As to
the young lady,' he added lightly, '1 will
not trouble you, for I am a confirmed old
bachelor. It would be a pity for her to
throw herself away on a dull fellow like
me, even if she would be willing to sacrifice
herself, which I doubL'
'Nonsense ! you are over modest,' re
turned the second speaker, moving his
chair as he spoke, until he sat just by the
door where May could sec him. It was
out of the question now to shut the door,
and she could only seat herself once more
at her old place, with a bewildered feeling
at heart, aud a mist before her eyes.
As the young man moved, a suslden ray
of the sun flashed upon his watch chain,
and glittered downward until it lit upon a
quaiut little ring suspended from it. The
sudden sparkle caught Sim's eye, and he
bent forward eagerly.
That's a curious ring you wear, Rey
nolds,' he said in a husky voice ; 'where
did you get it ?'
Reynolds laughed.
'There lies the charm. The finding was
so curious I keep the ring to tell of it. I
found it in the stomach of a fish.'
May leaned forward with a strange, gid
dy feeling in her brain, and the room grew
dark about her. But she would not move
or speak.
'How long ago was it?' she heard narry
Well, a matter of six years or so ; and
by the way, Sim, it was the Autumn I
spent in your town. It was the best fish
ing I had that year, I remember.'
The room grew darker about May, but
she would not move nor cry.
In a trembling voice Harry asked :
'Could you be induced to part with it ?'
'Oh, certainly,' Reynolds replied, detach
ing it as he spoke : 'If you fancy it you cau
have it, and welcome. I often thought
The sentence was not finished, for just
then the three were startled by a suddeu
fall. 'It is Miss Ashley, my copyist ?' the
lawyer exclaimed, as they hurried into the
room together, 'she has fainted ; she has
worked so hard this year, and I have fear
ed she would give out !' And Harry Sim,
coming near, saw in the pale, care-worn
face, the girl he had lost and mourned for
0 long.
'She is recovering.' he said, raising the
light form tenderly, with a thrill of
thanksgiving in his heart, 'get some water,
'get some water, please; Harding! and,
Reynolds, call a carriage ! Miss Ashley is
an old friend of mine, I will take care of
her.'
The two astonished men left the room to
comply with his requests, and when the
tired eyes opened. May fouud herself in the
arms of the ouly man shejiad ever loved.
His face was a little sadder and older, but
the same love looked out from the honest,
faithful eyes.
'See, May,' holding the ring so strange
ly recovered, 'the river has given it up.

A Kettledrum.
Jones received his first invitation over a
week ago. The event was yesterday after
noon. Jones had accepted at once, ana
before he had read the talisraanic word in
the corner of the invitation, 'Kettledrum.'
Jones does not move much in polite society.
He moves oftener when rent day comes
round ; so Jones didn't exactly know what
Kettledrum' meant. He asked his bach
lor friend Wicks what Kettledrum' meant.
Wicks doesn't move much in any society
at all, and he didn't know. So they put
their beads together, perhaps on the prin
ciple that the two heads were needed for
drums generally. Wicks says, 'I have it.
It is a musical party and you're expected
to play on the drum.' 'But I don't know
a note,' says Jones. Then yon must go
and take lessons in drumming twice a day
till the party comes off,' says Wicks.
Jones borrowed fifty dollars and gave his
note at least.' Then he went to Signer
Scheepskeen and took two lessons a day on
drumming for a week, and ruined his land
lady's prospects by causing all her boarders
to leave en account of that Jones' dram.
Yesterday afternoon Jones, with his drum

How Mccu was ua Worth ?"
There is a terrible signficaoce in the ques
tions we sometimes ask upon the death of
a wealthy man, if we only understood ths
real significance of the questions. "How
much was be worth ?" we ask. And the-""
angels might reply, "Worth ? lie wasn't
worth anything. His money was worth
something. His body ia worth something,
as a source of fertility to the soiL But fe
wasn't worth anything." So we vary ths
question : " 1 es, but bow much did he
leave?" "Oh, leave," it might be an
swered : "Yes, I will tell you. He had
houses, lots, bonds, stock, gold, notes,
merchandise, farms. And he left great
God ! be hft them all! 'lie carried noth
ing with him. Naked and destitute came
he into the world, and as naked and desti
tute did ha go the way whence be came.
He carried nothing ; neither land, nor
money, nor yet did he carry with him the
blessing of the poor, the grateful tears of
an orphan, the benediction of the poor.
He left all he carried nothing away with
him." Cut bis neighbor has died ; a man
who was not known on 'Change nor in the
tax-list. "And what has he left?" ws
may, perhaps, curiously ask. "Left ?" he
has left nothing ; but be has taken much
with him. He has gone to heaven laden
with the blessings and the gratitude of
the poor, of the helpless, of the young, of
the aged, of the widow, of the friendless ;
of those whom he, by bis counsels, and his
acts, and his prayers, had blessed ; of those
whose poverty he had relieved, whose ig-
uorance be bad enlightened, whose dark
ness he had dispelled, whose bodies and
whose souls he had fed." When Wilber-
force died, Daniel O'Connell said : "lie has
gone up to heaven bearing a million broken
fetters in his hands." Happy he, what-
