Drip, drip, drift
The eager flow is still,
And only dropB of water fall
Beneath tho unused mill.
All moldy are the bugs of meal,
And moss is grown npon the wheel,
go silont and so still.
Drip, drip, drip,
TJpon the fruitful forn ;
Tho silont timbers of the wheel
Aro poworloas to turn,
And whero a blade of grass is seen,
The gaping Joints it grows betwoen,
Farted, will not return.
Drip,drip, drip,
Into the stagnant pool
Whore glides tho spottod water snake,
Among tho crossos cool,
And, silont in Lis coat of mail,
All slimy creep tho cautions snail
Upon tho window stool.
Drip, drip, drip,
Upon tho oalion floor,
And brolien from its rusty lock,
Hangs, silently, the door,
Bave, when a gust of wind goos past,
It groans npon one hinge still fast,
Then silent as before.
Drip, drip, drip,
Upon. the rotton deal,
Between the limbers in the roof
Tho shadows tfoftly steal ;
And from a corner of the houso
Slyly peeps forth the cunning monso
That cats tho inoldy nioal.

seizing his hat, turned to leave tne

"You told me you loved me, he

Hetty stooped and plucked a sprig of
clover. ' ,
" Perhaps I thought so, then, she
said, intently examining the blossoms.
" And only discovered your mistake
when this rich popinjay from the city
made hifl appearance," said Loyd, bit-
- She looked up with a flash $ her
dark eyes. She knew very well that she
was doing something unworthy of her,
and lowering herself in Loyd's opinion,
as well as causing him pain, and his re
proach stung her.
"I have a right to like or dislike
whom I please," she said, haughtily.
He seized an unlucky grasshopper
which at that moment lighted near his
hand and savagely crushed it to death.
Hetty looked at him in surprise. It
was so unlike Loyd to deliberately hurt
anything.
"You are cruel 1" ehe said, indig-
' Tmrit.lv.
Not half so ciuel as you. Hetty, I
had no idea you were so heartless and
mercenary."
The word escaped him f unawares.

"If that is your opinion of me you
ought to be glad to have found me out
in time," she said.
" Perhaps I ought," he retorted, bit-
t.Arlv.
"Then I hope you will be satisfied

She gathered up the Bkirt of her blue
lawn dress and turned away. Loyd
passed through the gate and walked by
her side along the grassy meadow-path.
" I didn't mean to offend you, Het
ty," he said, in a more subdued tone.
" I am not offended. I don't in. the
leaet care for your opinion of me," re
plied Hetty, biting her lip and turning
'. away her lace that he might not see the
t.oai H in her eves.
They had reached a point where the
pathway branched right and left, and
coming along the latter was a portly,
fabhionably-dressed, middle-agod man,
twirling a cane, with which he was de
capitating the tall weeds and field
daisies. On catching sight of Hetty he
quickened his pace.
- " Mr. Frinbee will see me home. I
won't trouble you further, Mr. Sutton,"
said Hetty, with an air of great dignity,
us fihe took a btep to the left.
Now, this left-hand track was the
most direct and frequented way to
Hetty's home; but the right hand path
way, leading along the little stream and
alder hedge, had ever been the favorite
with herself and Loyd.

himself entered. Instinctively she had

FTamei-'s Weekly says that "the story
of General Arthur's nomination for tho
Vice-Presidency is exceedingly interest
ing. After the stormy session that led
to the dropping of General Grant and
Mr.. Blaine, and the nomination oi
General Garfield, it adjourned till even-
bur to consider the Question of Vice-
President. It was conceded that the I
nomination should be given to Now
York, and that the candidate must come
from the Grant element. Three names
were mentioned Levi P.Morton, Stew
art L. Woodford and General Arthur.
When the New York delegation met,
the two former withdrew, and the lat
ter was selected by a decided veto. But
Goneral Arthur objected, as it had
already been agreed upon by Senator
Conkling and his friends that he should
be chosen to succeed Mr. Keruan in the
United States Senate. Indeed, this re
sult was almost certain. It was only
after the strongest persuasion of Gov
