At ieagth we sea the light.

We've gamed our greatest triumph yet—

Can Union men so soon forget
They ask o'er rolling waves
Is there by night no solemn light
Above dead soldiers' 5. arcs?

From Wcst and East they cry "Well done:"
They sound it o'er the sea ;

THE MUSIC MISTRESS.
I. was about sixteen when. I was invited
by my aunt, Mrs. Morton, to stay with her
for a few months at hec house, in that
pleasant region of London, the neighbor
hood of Regent's Park. I was a country
bred girl, and had never so much as once
visited the great city. I had all a novice's
idea of its gaieties and splendors, and
thought of them with almost awe as well
as curiosity.
• I pass over my anticipations of that visit,
my arrival in London, the more than ful
fillment of some of my dreams, the dissi
pated illusions of others.
My aunt, by her instant proposal that I
should take lessons in all the usual accom
plishments, showed her opinion of the
education I had received from a country
boarding school.
Of my numerous other masters and mis
tresses I need not speak—l have long for
gotten their very names ; but of my music
mistress, Grace Harvey, of whom this little
record is told, I have the most distinct re
collection from. the very first hour in which
I saw her pale face, her great solemn eyes,
that yet sometimes lit up into wonderful
beauty, her firm mouth, and her tall, lithe
figure. •
"Well," said my aunt, when Miss Har
vey took her departure after the first lesson
was over, "if that young lady has such a
large connection, and so much reputation
as an instructress, as Mrs. Rupert tells us,
I wonder she does not dress a little better.
A certain appearance is incumbent upon
every one according to their means, and
Miss Harvey's dress is most disgracefully
shabby."
"It is not very nice," I answered ; "but,
oh aunt, what splendid eyes she has—that
is, if they were not so full of care."
. I was young and enthusiastic in those
days, and before long I had contracted an
ardent admiration •for Miss Harvey, which
now ripened into a passionate girlish
friendship that made my aunt angry, and
Fred laugh kindly.
"Come, Chattie," said he one day, "you
shall introduce me to the lady of the hand
some eyes and shabby gown."
"It. is very heartless of Aunt Kitty to
talk so much of Miss Harvey's dress," I
cried ; if she is poor is that her fault ? She
is a far finer lady in her poor worn dress
than many of aunt's friends who come
rustling in silks and satins. And you,
Fred, I am ashamed of you. Once you
did not think a lady made by her dress."
"And perhaps I don't now, either, Chat,"
said Fred ; "and hope I should be the last
man in the world to sneer at poverty."
"Grace Harvey has no relations, anti she
lives in one room, all alone, up ever so
many stairs, in such a dark, dismal little
street ; oh, Fred ! it almost stifles me to
think of it," I said eagerly. "I met Grace
on the street one day, and it rained, and
though I think she would have rather not,
she took me for shelter to her room.
When I saw what a poor low place it was,
I felt as though I ought never to have
seen it."
" Poor thing !" said Fred, heartily.
"Well, Chattie, we have no right to pry
into her secret, or wonder why, with a
large number of pupils, she should be so
poor."
My indignation much soothed by Fred's
feelings and good nature, I introduced my
brother with great pride to Miss Harvey,
and noted with a thrill of pleasure, how
his brow was as gracefully deferential, his
manner as cordially respectful to the poor
teacher of music in her worn garments, as
ever I had seen either to the most distin
guished of my aunt's fashionable friends.
Miss Harvey soon dropped, too, her rather
sad reserve of manner with him, and, as
Fred about this time became for some
reason or other a very dutiful nephew, and
a most attentive brother, I had the pleasure
of seeing the acquaintance between them
improve rapidly. How Fred managed to
time his calls so exactly to my music les- .
sons is not for me to say, though I was a
great deal too shrewd not to notice the Eta
very speedily ; and, oh, how pleased to
draw my own conclusions from it. It
seeme,l to me, young and enthusiastic as I
was, the most natural and desirable thing
in the world that my darling brother should
fill in love with and marry my dearest
friend—musie mistress though she was.
One night, to my unbounded delight,
Fred took me to a concert, and when the
first part was over, and I was able to spare
my attention to the audience, I commenced
a very admiring survey of the house.
"Dear me," I exclaimed in two or three
minutes, "did you ever see such a likeness?
There, in the fourth row from this end.
All ! she has turned her head away now ;
but I could almost say it was she."
"She! who, my clear !" inquired Fred.
"Grace Harvey."
"Grace Harvey ! where ? What, that
girl in white silk ? Indeed ? it is some
thing like. Ah ! now she has turned her
head. Marvellously like her ! Is it Miss
Harvey ?"
PENNSYLVANIA, VICTORY
CIIAIITER I
"Nonsense, Fred," said I laughing. How
can it be poor Grace ? Do you think she
can afford concerts and white silk dresses."
On the occasion of my next music les
son I did not forget to tell Miss Harvey of
the lady so closely v3sembling her whom I
had seen at the concert, and to my great
surprise, I saw that her pale face dashed
suddenly and deeply, and for an instant
she seemed confused and vexed.
"The resemblance must have been strong
indeed, to be risible through all the differ
ence of dress. I ought to feel more com
plimented than I dare say the lady would
be, if she could knklw, Cbattie," was all she
replied, and we spoke of it no more.
But one day, not very long after that
Fred came to me in some trouble and ex
citement.
"Chattie," said he presently, "I am going
to tell you a secret. Will you be very
much surprised if I tell you that I love
Grace Harvey dearly, and that I have asked
her to be my wife.
"Not surprised, but so glad—oh so glad !"
"Wait," said he, and though lie smiled,
he looked vexed too. "It is true that I
have asked Grace to marry me ; but Chat
tie, she has refused.
"Oh, Fred! and I am sure she likes you.
It is some scruple about difference in rank,
I dare say. Haven't you found out how
proud Grace is ?"
"To be sure I have. But I don't think it
is that, either ; for I asked her outright,
and I could not help thinking that my do
ing that made her think of it for the first
time. No, I don't fancy that was her rea
son; and, Chattie, this is where you can
help me. I cc:ad not press Grace for her
motives, but you might ask questions that
I could not. Try and come at her reason s
will you ?"
"But Fred, I am not to have my next
lesson for more than a fortnight—not un
till the new piano conies home."
"Oh!" said poor Fred; with a look of
great dismay, "I cannot wait that time.
Can't you make some excuse for going to
see Miss Harvey 2"
What could I not have done for Fred ?
I ran away to put on my things, and Fred
I were soon in the dingy street, and the
house at which Miss Harvey lived. I rang
the bell, and enquired for Miss Harvey of
the little girl who opened it.
• "Yes, Miss Harvcy was in—would I walk
up ?"
Stmnbling up the dark and crooked stair
case after the small handmaid, we at length
arrived at Miss Harvey's door. The child
knocked ; but as there was no answer, she
opened it and told me to walk in. I did so
There was the low and dismal room which
I had often thought of with a pang—and
there I stood transfixed in mute astonish
ment; for that instant a door leading out
of this room opened, showing me a momen
tary glimpse of mirror-gilding and rich fur
niture within, and Grace herself, beautiful
ly attired in an evening dress, with jewels
on her arms and stately neck, stood in the
doorway.'She in turn, looked more than
surprised, almost frightened. As she saw
me she closed the door behind her quickly
and her face was crimson as she faltered—
"Chattie, is it you ?"
I was so utterly' bewildered by what I
saw,— the discrepancy between her rich
dress and apparent, indeed, professed pov
erty—that I did my errand badly enough, I
dare say. Grace's face seemed to grow
cold and stern , as she listened and replied
briefly, that, "Mr. Talbot must consider her
decision final, as it was."
Poor Fred ! I told him all I had seen,
wheA I gave him her answer, and we nev
er spoke of Grace Harvey after. My visit
to town came to an abrupt close soon after
and my friendship for my music teacher
became only a memory."
CHATT ER II
It was some years after this that me and
my brother—now a grave lawyer immers
ed in business—paid a visit to the gray old
cathederal ton where we were both born.
One evening—a summer evening full of
tranquil beauty, I remember—as we saun
tered under the shadows of the cloisters, I
noticed the figure of a woman sitting on
one of the stone benches beneath them,
looking out over the graveyard beyond,
where the long sun-shadows were growing
dusky in the fading light. Something in
the figure attracted nie, and as we passed
I looked into her face. I knew her in
stantly; yes—careworn, faded, shabbier
in dress even than of old—l knew Grace
Harvey ; and so touched was I too, by
something inexpressibly sad and hopeless
in her wistful face and weary attitude,
that forgetting the awkwardness of any
meeting, accompanied as I was, I stood
still and said involuntarily—
" Grace Harvey I"
She looked up hastily, and by the color
that flushed into her pale, thin face, I saw
that she recognized us. It was a very
awkward meeting, but the good breeding
and self-control of the two most concerned,
made it pass oil better than one might
have hoped.
Miss Harvey was not residing in Deans
bury—no, only here for a day or two. She
had known the place as a child, and loved
it dearly.
I think this was the sum of the infor
mation we gathered concerning herself be
fore we parted, which we did very soon,
though, in spite of all the mysterious cir
cumstances that seemed to surround Miss
Tlarvey, my heart yearned towards the ob
ject of my passionate, youthful friendship,
when she bade us good-by, in her low
thrilling voice, and left us.
Fred and I wandered abroad much later
than usual that night, talking of those old
tunes ; and when I learned, as I did then,
how constant my brother had been to the
memory of his early love—how noble his
simple faith in her goodness, notwithstand
ing the mystery surrounding her life—l
made a vow in my heart, though I said
nothing about it to him.
A day or two after this, as I was coming
out of the cathedral, I lingered an instant
to admire a new stained window that was
in the process of putting in when we first
arrived at Dcansbury. As I did so two
other persons came from another direction
and paused before it, and, not noticing me,
began to talk of the window. I soon gath
ered that the lady had presented this new
memorial window, and the gentleman was
eager to know whether the work had been
eseelted according to he: wish, and so
forth.
"Yes," she answered, softly; and the
voice was familiar to me, though I could
not see her face. "Your part of the work
is well done; and .mine—ah ! I have felt
as if I could not rest till it was accomplish
ed. And now that it is done, I began to
ask myself what other need of me there is
in The . world. I think I have never really
fel lonely till now."
The sad, patient voice thrilled through
me; and when Grace turned away, as she
did almost directly, I hastened after and
overtook her, under the gray, old archway
of the gate. She colored faintly when she
saw me, but did not refuse to walk back
with me round the cloisters.
"Grace," said I, presently, "I wonder If
you ever remember how fond I was of
you."
"You were a good kind child," she
answered, with a faint smile, "and, I be
lieve, loved me better than I deserved."
"Then, Grace, make no amends. Tell
me why----"
"Tell you all my secrets, I suppose ?"
she answered. Chattie, I don't
know that I need keep them any longer.
I am very sure no other but your kind s•2ll'
would care to hear them. Shall we sit
here, where we can see that large tomb ?
Can you read the names on this side,
Chatti3 ?"
"Yes. It is the family vault of Henry
Armytage, of Langton Hall."
"I wonder whether my bones will rest
there ?" said Grace, wistfully. "He was
my father. Chattie."
I shall not give Grace's story in her own
words, though they were far more touch
ing and eloquent than any I can pretend
to. It was briefly this :
She was one of the three daughters of
Henry Armytage, of Langton estate, at his
death, reverted to the heir male. a distant
connection only. The three daughters
were, however, handsomely dowered, and
at their father's death retired to a neighbor
ing small property, where they. lived in
much comfort, and even style.—Grace, the
youngest, was many years the junior of the
other ladies, clever, and a beauty. The el
der sisters were inordinately fond of this
girl ; pampering and indulging her in eve
ry caprice; sacrificing themselves for her,
and only happy when she was pleased.
They naturally looked to her settling in
life in a manner accordant with her ancient
name and handsome means; instead of
which the wilful girl chose to throw her
self away upon a man every way her infe
rior, and, as it turned out, of the most un
principled character. The elder sister at
first refusing their consent to the union, the
pair eloped, were married, and for a year
or two were heard of no more.. The elder
sisters, only anxiouslto forgive, lost no op
portunity of discovering their whereabouts
and at last triumphantly brought back the
runaway young people to their home at
Fairbridge; Here for a while they all lived
but before very long it was discovered that
Mr. Barrington had dissipated his wife's
fortune, and the pair were entirely depend
ent on their relatives. In vain the simple
ladies tried to save them from the conse
quences of their own sin and follies. while
money was to be had the husband of the
younger would spend it; and at last, when
everything had been obtained, disapear
ed, leaving his wife behind.—The Misses
Armytage and their sister left Fairbridge
forever, and went to London; but while
they had a penny they feebly strove to avert
disgrace and ruin from their sister's hus
band. When all was gone, the poor ladies
patiently set about trying to earn a living,
and while thus engaged, the younger, who
had rejoined her husband for a while, came
back to them, calmly told them that she
had parted with him for ever, assumed her
mother's maiden name, and declared that
she would live and die, with her sisters.
She was energetic and clever, and, as a
teacher of music she had already got remun
erative employ, when one of her sisters took
a fever, languished and died. Almost be
fore she was buried the other was taken ill,
and, though her life was spared to her
stricken sister, was hopelessly imbecile from
that time. The one pleasure of which she
seemed capable was that of liking to see
round her the sights and luxuries of her
early life; and to give the poor invalid these
became the one absorbing duty of the
younger sister's existence,. She removed
her sister to the house of an old servant,
who let apartments, and who would keep
her secret, labored night and day to furnish
one room in the style of her sister's own at
Langton, and while she herself lived upon
the poorest five, supplied the other table
with luxuries. After her long day's work,
the poor girl would replace her poor worn,
dress with one such as she bad worn in the
days of prosperity, and devote herself to the
poor imbecile, striving to call back those
early days in which alone she seemed to
live ; a drive now and then, in unfrequen
ted suburbs ; a visit to a concert, which
was a scource of rapturous delight to the
invalid—these were all the substantial en
joyments Grace could venture on. If her
husband had the slightest idea that she
gained money enough to give what she did
to her sister, he would not long have left
her in peace. She guarded her secret care
fully, and only seemed to have valued her
life as dedicated to thi service of her sister
to whom, indeed, she owed such terrible
atonement.
And then came the day when she could
do no more—when her love, her prayers,
her labors, could give nothing more to that
figure on whom her tears fidl so bitterly—
and she could only bury her dead out of
sight, and realize—oh, how remorsefully !
oh, how tenderly !—that little of wrong can
be set right in this world.
"It comforted me, somehow, to work
hard, that I might lay them both in yonder
tomb, where they had wished to lie , and
when that was done, I labored to put up
the window to their memory;" Grace con
cluded ; and then I understood the words
I heard her say in the church.
"And your husband ?" I venturned to
say, timidly, presently.
"lie is gone to where my forgiveness can
not reach him," she answered calinly."Ah,
Chattie, there was no room for regret in
my heart for him."
And this was Grace,s story. I told it to
Fred in the moonlight cloister, all he said
was, "Poor darling! Dear, noble Grace!'
Need I tell the ending' of the story ? and
that Geace has been for some years, my
dear sister and Fred's happy ',vice, ?"
THE SKY A WEATIMIL INDICATOR. -
The color of the sky, at particular times,
afford wonderful good guidance, not only
does a rosy sunset presage good weather,
and a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there
are other tints which speak with equal clear
ness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in
the evening indicates wind ; a pole yellow
wet; a neutral gray color constitutes a fa
vorable sign in tile evenine, and an unfa
vorable one in the morning. The clouds
arc again full of meaning in themselves.—
If their Corms are soft, undefined, and feath
ery, the weather will be fine; if their edges
are hard, sharp and diliant, it will be foul
Generally speaking, any deep unusual hues
betoken wind or rain; while the more qui
