8ua of tbe stately Day,
Let Asia Into th shadow drift,
Let Europe bask la thy ripened ray,
And over th fevering ocean lift
. A brow of braader splendor !
Olv light to th earer aye
U the land that wait to behold the rls :
Th gladness of morning lend her,
With th triamph of aeon attend her,
And tha peace of th vesper Ikies !
For lo! lb cometh now
With bop on th Hp and pride oa th brow.
Stronger, and dearer, and fairer.
To am lie on the lor w bear her
To lira, as wa dreamed her and Sought her,
Liberty's latest daughter I
la th clefts of th racks, and th secret places.
We found her traces i-
On the hills. In the crash of wood that fall.
Wa heard her call ;
W hen the lines of battle broke.
We saw her face In th fiery smoke ;
Through toll, and anguish, and desolation
. 7e followed and found her !
With the grace of a virgin Nation
Aaa sacred (on around her !
Who shall rejoice
Wllh a righteous voice,
Far-heard through the ages, ir not she 7
For tbe in-uance Is dumb thai defied her.
The doubt is dead that denied her.
And the standi acknowledged, and strong and fr!
I.-x.
hi the shores of a Continent east,
Sn won th Inviolate soil
By lo( of heirdom of all th Past , '
And faith In the royal right of Toil ! .
Sim planted homes oa b savage sod :
Into th wilderness lone
Sbe walked wllh fearless feet,
Ia her hand th divining rod.
Till th reins of th mountains beat
With fire of metalaod lure of stone !
Sbe set the speed of th river head
To turn the mills of her bread ;
She drove her ploughshare deep
Through tbe prairie' thousand eeatarled sleep ;
Tv tbe South, and West, and North,
She called Pathfinder forth.
Her faith Tel aad sole companion.
Where the Hushed Sierra, snowy-atarred,
Her way to the sunset barred.
And (he nameless rivers. In thunder and warn.
Channeled the terrible canyon !
Nor paused till bcr utmost bom
Wa built In the amlle of a softer say.
And the glory of beauty still to be ,
Where the haunted wave of Asia die
tin the at rand of the worldwide sea !
I.-X
Forseen in the vision ol sager,
Fortold when martyr bled.
She wa bora of th longing of ages,
By the truth of the nobl dead
And th lalth of tbe living led !
No blood In her lightest rein
Fret at remembered chains.
Nor abame of bondage ha bowed her bead.
Ia her form aad featarrs still
Th onbleoehlng puritan will.
Cavalier honor. Huguenot grata,
Tbe Quaker truth aad sweetness.
And lb strength of the danger girded race
Of Holland, Mend la a preud completeness.
From the homes ! all, where her being began ,
She took what ah gar to M aa :
Justice, that knew no station,
Belief, as soul decreed,
Fro air for aspiration.
Free force for Independent deed !
She takes, but to glr again.
A the sea rstnrn th rivers la rain.
And gathers the chosen of her feed
From th hunted of every crown and creed.
Her Germany dwells by a gentler Rhine ;
Her Ireland see tb old sunburst thin ;
Her France parsves torn dream divine ;
Her Norway kec s his mountain pine ;
Her Italy waits by th western brine :
And broad-based under all.
Ia planted England oaken hearted mood.
Ai rich In fortitude
A e'er went world ward from tbe hdsnd-wall !
Fused in her candid light.
To on strong race all race her anile :
Tongue melt in hers, hereditary foemaa
Forget their sword and a logaa, kith and elan ;
Twa glory once to be a Romaa ;
She make It glory now to be a Man !
I-A .
Bebold '. sb bendethnow.
Humbling the ehaplet of her hundred years ;
There Is a (ulema sweetness In her brow.
And In her yes are (acred tear.
Can she forgat.
In pre oi nt joy, the burden of her debt.

A BAKER-ft DOC EX.
A group of girls were gathered on
the hotel piazza at Pigeon Cove one
lovelj Bummer day, when tbe bright
aveleU of tbe lake danced under a
fleet of boats with prettj gaj awn
ings, sod the wooded shores sloped
in exquisite green curves to tbe wa
ter's edge. The cool breeze from tbe
water fluttered tbe daiotj morning
costumes of these maidens, making
them look like a nock of white birds
just about to tske wiog.
In tbe center of a group stood a
young girl of small but elegant figure,
with a pair of roguish blue eyes, a
mischief ous face, dimpled all over
like a flower, and. a head tbt tbe sun
seemed to have kissed to a golden ra
dience. "How many adorers have you
now, Nelly?" one of tbe girls ai-ked
this little personage, who sppeared
to be the queen of tbe coterie. "Iiave
you enslaved any new one9 since day
before yesterday?"
"Of course she has," said Abby
Stewart, a tall, dark-eyed girl. ' Do
you suppose twenty-four hours ever j
pass witnout Dnnging new worsnip-
ers to her shrine: All ranks and con
ditionsof men are represented among
ber adorers cbe regards neitber
age nor previous condition of servi
tude." "I have counted them up on my
fingers," said little Uose JJaylie.
"There are just twelve at present,
adding in Fred. 11 at ton, who stam
mers dreadiuny, poor fellow, it
would take him at least half a day to
propose."
"1 have discovered," said Abby,
that she has her pocket stuffed with
notes in all Iacgaages. Tbat profes
sor from C College has written
to her in Saaskirt, with a literal
translation appended."
"How absurd you are, girle!" cried
Nelly, who had been ball choked
while the discussion of ber admirers
progressed. "Don't speak so loui.
Rose; uncle wll bear yon. lie would
be horrified if le suspected that I am
given to flirting."
On, too poor, dear innocent!"
cried tbe girls, in a ringing cborus of
!auebter. -
"You've gottwelve on the tenter-
books already," said Rose, "and now
you must find tbe tuirteentlL- A
baker's dozen would be a real tn-
nnanh. I might ask mr cousin Will
down for a few days. He is doleful

said Abbr. "furnber thirteen will
appear soon enough."
"There be cones now," cried all
tbe girls simultaneously, as the tall

figure of a stranger appeared at the
end of a long, shady walk tbat led up
to tbe hotel "Behold tbe man ot des
tiny!" "Do be still, for mercy's sake,"
murmured Nelly, as tbe new-comer,
with a small traveling-bag in his
hand, approached tbem. He walked
with a quick, military stride, and on
mounting the steps of the piazza shot
one keen glance toward tbe group of
girls. Jn a moment a servant bad
appeared and taken his card.
"Why, be is calling for uncle,"
wbir-pered Nelly, under ber breatb.
"He must be that horrid CoL Ilaw
Iey." "Never intnd; he will soon be at
your feet, and he makes tbe baker's
dozen," said Rose. "They say there
is luck in odd numbers. I shouldn't
wonder if you married bim."
"Married bim!" repeated Nelly,
with scorn. . "I detest him."
"Do you know him?" tbe girls
asked in surprise.
"No, not personally; but I have
long had bis virtues dinned into my
ears, lie was uncle's aid in tbe war.
and nursed bim through a fever. He
was a very youDg man then, uncle
looks upon him a3 a son. For several
years be bas been stationed out
among tbe Indians, and I have been
dosed with his letters. Bah! he is a
piece of perfection the moral law in
trowsers and boots. I defeat tbat
kied of man."
There was the sound of knocking
with a staff or crutch from the direc
tion of the little parlor where the old
General sat smoking sad reading his
papers.
"There is a summoas for me," cried
Nelly, with a pretty grimance, as she
skipped away. "Don't you pity me,
girls?"
"I wonder we don't all hate you
like poison," said Abby Stewart;
"but the fact is, she is lovable if she
is a flirt There is nothing bad in
her nature; and of course it isn't ber
fault if every man she sees falls di
rectly down at her feet. Mie can t
marry tbem all."
"And it is natural sbe should like
to play with tbem, as a very young
kitten plays with a mouse," said one
of the others.
"I am sure I should," broke in
Rose, "if I bad the power. But Nel
ly is shrewd; sbe knows thtt most of
her adorers are after her mooer."
Meantime Nelly, with a sulky face
and backward air, was entering ber
nncle's room. The old General sat
in bis favoiite arm-chair He had a
red face tbat flushed, easilv np to tha
roots of his white hair. He wore an
artificial limb that gave him a good
deal of trouble, and had taken it off
to rest. Now his old red face was
beaming with joy, like a full-blown
peony.
Tuss," said be, exulting and rub
bing hands softly together, "Col.
ll.awlew bas come. Tbe dear boy'e)
arrival makes me feel twentr rears
younger."
"I supposed he bad come," said
Nelly, standing behind the chair,
"for I saw bim and guessed was it
but I don't like him." .
"Don't like him!" repeated the old
man ia an astonished tone.
"No I don't He is one of those in
sufferable good and proper persons I
have always detested."
"By George!" cried the General.
getting more fiery in the face and
thumping with bU stick, "you shall
like bim, or 1
why."
"Unfortunately, uncle," replied
Nelly in an exasperating tone of
voice, "you can't command or feel
iogs as you would a platoon of sol
diers." "You obstinate, willful little bag
gaga" bis face was a rich purple
hue "if tbe boys should give me
one-half tbe trouble you do I would
order tbem out and bave them shot."
. "But yod can't shoot me, uncle,
because I don't choose to like your
paragon; and why, pray, should I
like bim?"
. "Like him!" shouted the old man
"I tell you be saved my life tbat he
is one of tbe best officers and noblest
men tbat ever walked. .Only a brainl
less, empty Leaded girl can afford to
despise a brave man. ion are not
worthy to kiss bis shoes."
"I hope you don't eipect me to per
form that ceremony, uncle?"
"I know how it will be," continued
the old man, boiling oer with wratb-
"lou will throw yonrself away on
one of those whipper-snappers, those
ape-faced dandies, tbat don't know
the but end of a mueket from the
muzzle. Tbey are running after yonr
money the money it is supposed
you are going to inherit from me.
But if you marry one of those brain
less fools you will not inherit a pen
ny of mine; 1 will rut you off with a
shilling."
The tears sprang into Nelly's eves.
Sbe rushed round tbe chair, sobbing,
and threw herself into tbe old man's
arms. "Ob uncle," cried she in a
choked voice, "leave all your money
away from me if you like, but don't
be so savage! Love me a little, as you
did when I was a child."
Tbe old man sat rigid as iron, still 1
blowing oa steam. Hit- hot temper
soon cooled, letting his warm heart
assert itself. He was half inclined
to take the girl to bis bosom, ta for
give and pet ber into smiles; but she
was still bedewing bis shirt front
with tears wbeo a knock sounded
upon tbe door.. Nelly leaped hasti
ly to ber feet, wiped ber wet face
and smoothed out ber raffled plumage:
Sbe was as exquisitely pretty as a
dewy rose. In a moment Col. Haw
ley waa standing in the room ic bis
undress uniform. If not strikingly
handsome, he waa a least a tall, man
ly figut. - His keen eyes saw at a
glance tbat there had been a tempest
duriog bis absence, and that tbe t bunder-clouds
were not yet entirely dis
persed. When ber ancle managed !
to present him, Nelly bowed in a stiff
and restrained fashion, which tbe
Colonel returned with formal polite
ness, and a moment after sbe had
made ter escape from tbe room.
Tbat night Col. Hawley stood in a
corner of toe ball-room for it was
tbe occasion of tbe weekly "bop"
a mere looker-on in Yen ice. He
knew no one; be was not a dancing
m va is i a
man, ana -eiiy ata not seem
aware;
of bis existence. In ber pale blue
costume of some sbimmery-shioy
s'uff she was bewflderiogly pretty,
and her admirers hovered round ber
like bees round the queen rose of the
garden. Tbe Sanskirt professor wss
ibere, with locks newly dyed tbe hue
of tbe raven's wing, and with his
hands thrust into a pair of white
gloves miles too large.
"Shall I reserve a square dance for
you, dear professor?" Nelly asked,
consulting ber tablets, aad with tbe
air of a siren.
Tbe poor man shook his head and
gave her a shallow smile. At tbat
moment be would willingly have sac
rificed all the languages, dead and
living, for the privilege of capering
round tbe ball-room with his charmer.
"Never mind," said Nelly, beam
ing upon him. "When I get through
with this gallop I will come back,
and you Bball improve my m id, and
tell me all about prosody, a, you
promised."
"Miss Nelly," said the delighted
professor. laying the limp finger-ends
ot tiis glove on bis beart, "you are
already mistress of ibe universal lan
guage." Young Detmold was impatiently
waiting to claim Nelly for the next
dance. Among his friends he was
familiarly known as "the Baby," be
cause of bis pretty pink and white
complexion, and his ways, which
were "cbild-like and bland. ' iiaoy
bad a beautiful pair of long blood
side whiskers, which, it was said, he
crimped with an iron every day.
"How can you stand talking to
that old mummy?" said be, with a
pout, as soon as he bad got posses
sion of Nelly.
"Ob, it's such fun to make him
tbink he is tbe object of my secret
adoration."
CoL Uawley overheard the re
mark, and turned away with disgu.-t
"rihe is a cut-and-dried flirt," said he
to himself, "the one thing ia alt tbe
world that I abhor." This young
hero, fresh from the wilds, bad
watched the ball-room with some se
cret scorn. .Now be went back to
the old General, and sat smoking
with bim in tbe pleasant gloom of
the evening.
"Well, my boy," said the old man,
after a few moments cf silence, "wbftt
do you think of her?"
' Of whoia sir?"
"My niece, Nellv Mortimer, of
courstx"
"Ob, sbe is a regular beauty."
"But she wouldn't suit you. would
she
"There is no question of tbat, sir.
I shouldn't suit ber. I can see that
she looks upon me as an unlicked
cub, a specimen fresh from the woods.
And the truth is I bave been out of
tbe world so long that I bave old
fashioned notions of women. These
modern girls are quite bewildering to
my mind. I should never know bow
to approach one of them."
"Nelly isn't made of spun glass,"
retorted" the old man. "Slie's an ob
stinate, hard-bitted little jade. When
she gets ber bead set, you couldn't
rout ber with your heaviest artillery.
But there's good in the girl. She's
a Mortixer; and, if I do say it, there
never was a coward or a craven
among tbe Mortimer clan. You
see," continued the old man, bis
voice softening, "tbe girl bas been
an orphan from babyhood, ami I
have sadly spoiled her. But if sbe
married a true man not cne of those
sneaking civilians, but a brave, bon-
1 est soldier sbe would be as constant

"I see. what you mean, dear Gen
eral," said the Colonel, with emo
tion in bis voice; "but don't think of
it, sir. It cannot be;" and be exten
ded bis hand.
Tt e old General grasped it in bis.
"Robert," said be, "how can I help
thinking of it? You and that virl are
all I bave in tbe world, and I bad
hoped to keep you near me in my
old age. '
After that poor Nelly bad bard
lines with tbe old General. There
were constant twinges in his leg, and
he was always iu a vile humor wbea
sbe was present; but sbe often beard
bim laugbing uproariously with tbe
Colonel wben alone in their private
cessions. Jo ward tbe young man
himself sbe was frigidly polite, and
be met ber in tbe same spirit Nelly
mrtea more desperately tban ever.
"Baby" Detmold was the favorite of
the hour. She boated with bim,
danced with bim, played croquet
with bim, rode with bim, and spent
long alternoons rambling with bim
in tbe delighted laurel woods tbat
skirted the lake.
"I am disappointed in my calcula
tions about tbe baker a dozen," Rose
said to bar one evemogaa tbey stood
in tbe worm sunset glow on tbe
piazza, tbe beautiful radiance shining
through -Nelly A golden hair. "1
thought you would bare tbat tall
Colonel's scalp at your belt long be
fore this; but bow the Baby is tbe fa
vorite of tbe hour. Do you knojr, Net
ly, I have caught tbe Colonel looking
at yon with a sardonic expression of
mingled admiration and disapproval
It would Dot be strange if you were
weaving your toils about him. They
sav to hate is tbe best war to begin
to love. Who knows but Number
Tbirteea may be tbe winning horse,
after all?"
"Don't talk slang, Rose," said
Nelly, with dignity. "You know
nothing about tbe Colonel, he is a
missogyniat"
"Good heavens! Nelly, what is
trai?"
"I tton't know," returned Nelly.
"It's a word I beard tbe professor
nse."
"When I wish to horl aa epithet of
withering contempt at a man, laugb-
e-i Abby, "I shall call him a misogy
nist."
That night Nelly stole away from
the dancers, and entered tbe Gener
al's little parlor, filled with tbe sweet
sbadioess of the summer evening.
Tnare were two cigars that shone
like red stars, and tbe old man and
! tbe Colonel were telling rampaign-
ing stories, fighting their battles over
again. Tbe deep, sonorous voiee or

Poor Nelly's fair weather did not
last long, the next afternoon the
old General sent for her, in a tower
ing rage, his face looking quite apo
plectic. "Sit dowo there," be said, pointing
to a chair opposite, and Nelly obeyed.
"What is this I bear about your be
ing engaged to that idiotic young
Detmold?"
"I don't know sir."
"And you don't know," cried tbe
old General, "tbat be is a brainless
fool and an unprincipled knave. His
father is a reckless gambler in Wall
street, rovered np with debt3 that he
hopes bis son's marriage to an heiress
will help him pay. But not a penny

Promise me that you will not engage
yourself to young Detmold, or "that
you will break with him if you bave
bad the folly to do so already, or you
shall never see a shilling of "my mon
ey after I am gone."
There were legal looking docu
ments oa the table before the old
General. "Do you promise?" he cried,
holding a pen suspended in his hand.
"No," exclaimed Nelly as she ro--e
indignatly to her feet "I cannot be
frightened by threats. I bave the
blood of the Mortimers in mr veins:"
and she swept proudly out of the
room.
"Nelly carried her sun-bat in her
band a pretty broad-brimmed Leg
horn trimmed with trailing vines.
Dry-eyed and pale, with her small
mouth set in a rigid line, she walked
swiftly down the path that led to the
laurel wood; but she had bo more
than reached tbe shade when voung
Detmoid sprang into the path before
ber.
"Oh, Nelly, dearest Nellr." be be
gan, eagerly, "I am so glad to find
you here! I have something very par
ticular to say."
"Stop," cried Nelly, imperiously,
"and listen to what I bave toTsay to
you. I am a poor girl, Mr Detmold.
I bave not a peony in tbe worl.L
Go and tell tbe other young men at
the botel that my uncle hts willed all
bis fortune away from me." The
young man stood as if petrified, and
sbe swept on down the path before
bim.
A quarter of a mile of rapid, al
most breathless, walkiog through the
undergrowth brought Nelly suddenly
against tbe Sanskirt professor, who
bad carried bis lexicon out iuto tbe
shade. In a moment be bad con
fronted ber, bis sallow face beaming
with happiness.
"I am so glad to find you here
abne!" said he. "For days I have
sought an opportunity to speak."
"Don't say it," cried Nel.'y, with
tragic despair. "Let me speak to
you. 1 am a poor girl, aud it is all
a mistake about my being an heiress.
The General bas willed away from
me every penny of his fortune."
"Miss Mortimer," exclaimed tbe
professor, in a pained and reproach
ful voice, "bow could you think me
so mercenary? I have loved you tor
yourself alone."
"Don't, don't," cried Nelly, in
plaintive tones. "You are a rood
man, worlds above me, but I could
not marry you. I should be a mill
stone around your neck."
Sbe ran from kirn abruptly and
dashed into tbe thick woods farther
and father, deeper and deeper, losing
breatb, then stopping to listen if sbe
were followed. Abe was in a straoge:
place, where large, somber trees
grew. It was late in tbe afternoon,
tbe sun was setting, tbe twilight
gatboriog around her, wben Nelly
rested on a mossy log aud leaned
gainst a tree trunk witb ber leet in
the ferns. She wa3 sobbing, because j
she felt utterly miserable, dejected
and abandoned. It seemed as though
ber grief would never spend itrei'.
And stealthily the night came on.
Suddenly there was a crunching and
crackling cf bushes near by, and
Nelly sprang up with a little cream.
"DonT be afraid," said a deep
manly voice sbe knew well; I will

there are large numbers of ele

which are quite harlv. aud can l

Tbe prevailing idea that al! ferns
must be grown in peat soil arid sin I,
or, if grown iu the open bjrder, lb.it
it must at great trouMo aad expen-"
be made of such materials, is a fal
lacy ; for nearly aii bardy ferns can
be grown in any ordinary soil, from
a sandy loam to a sti'T clay, provided
it 19 free from animal manure and re
tentive of moisture. Ia onr own
garden we have a small collection of
Japauese and other bardy ferns grow
ing in a border of heavy soil at the
foot of a bank of earth three or four
feet high, on tie top of which ar
some shrubs. These cast some shad-?
on tbe bed below duriog tbe hottest
part of the day, and the plants flour
ish and grow luxuriantly, aad are ad
mired by all visitors.
Neither is it necessary to have
rockery constructed, for their cultiva
tion i.we have never seen one in this
country tbat was realir satirf ictorr.
ualess it was suppled with a jet of
water or similar appl ance to keep
the soil moist. Being raised above
tbe level of tbe Burroundiug soil like
a mound, the bit dry air ot our sum
mer months beats tbe comparatively
(mail stones of which it. is composed,
and '.he moisture in the soil is sou a
and rapidly dried out ; and if there
is one thing more injurious than
another to ferns, it is allowing the
roots to become dry. It' for the sake
6f any picturesque effect it is desira
ble to have a rockery, or to aceomni
date any species which grows ou
rocks, tbe stones should ba inserted
into the soil or laid upou it at its nat
ural level, and never raided above it.
Stones are sometimes useful, when
laid on the surface, ia retaining niuis
ure and keeping tbe soil cool, but in
all cases shade is nerescary, for if the
stones are expesed to the lull ravs of
the sun, tbey become greatly heated,
and give out this beat at night, which
is annolber unnatural condition to
ferns for as almost every one may
bave noticed, the habits ot ferns are
generally, if not always, the coolest
part of tbe woods at night.
Any of our lady friends wbo ad
mire these lovely plants, and having
a border protected by the shadows
ot shrubs cast over it, not bba-ied by
overhanging foliage, nay indulge her
tastes by making a collection of su' b
of our bardy aDd native ferns aa
grow in her neighborhood. If a bor
der shaded by shrubs is not to be bail,
the north side of a fence or buiidiog
will answer tbe purpose.
Tbe ferns may be dog bow from
tlettir native Lab.uu and transplanted
into tbe border at aoy time during
tbe summer, eare being Uka to lift
tbem with a god supply of rots.
and keep them from getting dry.
This is most readily done by laying
tbem in a banket and covering tbem
with damp moss as they are taken op.
After they ar planted ia the border,
they should have a liberal supply t
water. In the autumn after tbe fol
iage bas died down, they should bave
a covering of two or tbree inches of
leaves, which tanst b removed early
in the spring.
Maay of our native species aro
quite rare, and all are poree-ed of
great beauty ; bunting for them will
give many a pleacarit and delightful
ramble in the wood., and their culti
vation will well repay any little
trouble or fatigue in obtaining tbem.
