MY LITTLE MAY.
RICIRAIRD saes! STODDARD.
I've lost my little May at last!
She perished In the spring.
When earliest flowery began to bed,
And earliest birds to sing.
I laid her in a rural grave,
A green and soft retrial.
A marble tablet o'er her head,
And violets at her feet.

I know that she hu fled,
I mils her everywhere, and yet
I cannot think her dead !
I mien her with her toys, beside
My desk in silent play ;
And then I turn and look for het,
But she has flown sway t
I wake the children up et dawn,
And say ■ simple prayer,
And draw them round the morning meal,
But one is wanting there !
I see a little chair apart,
A little pinafore,
And Memory fills the vacancy,
As Time will—nevermore!
I waited only yester•night,
The evening service read,
And lingered for my idol's kiss,
Before she went to bed;
Forgetting she had gone before,
In slumbers soft and sweet;
A monument shove her head,
And violets at her Ina.
THE lIIUIIITY BELLE.
BY MRS. C. 11. CRISSW.E.LL
'Where shall we go to-day, Carry ?' ask
ed Laura, the youngest if two sisters.
'To the city of course—you know we
have not been there for a week.'
'Agreed. By the way you've forgotten
that young Emerson comes here this even
ing ?'
'Forgotten 1 I should thing not. You
know I have set my mind on making a
conquest in spite of his coldness;' and the
young girl drew herself up with a smile of
conscious power. Iler sister smiled too,
but it wag behind her hand.
'Well, we mint return early to give you
time to heighten your charms at the toilet.'
Caroline and Laura Welbourne were the
only daughters of a retired Merchant,
whose country seat was pleasantly situated
in a neat village near one of our large cit
ies. They were bOth pretty, but the old
est was decidedly the 'belle' of the village.
Gay, fascinating and fashionable, she at
tracted many admirers, yet there was a
haughtiness of demeanor that was so repel
ling, that she possessed the love of a very few
beyond her own family. She could howev
er, when it suited her, be as affable and
condescending as one could wish, and at
these times was really pleasing.
Laura was different. Not as bright as her
sister, she made no pretensions either to
beauty or accomplishments. She was con
tented to remain quiet and unobtrusive
while Caroline was trying to dazzle the
eyes of ail beholders. But in reality,
where she was best known, she was a mod
est, amiable and lovely girl.
The evening came, and with it the gen
tlemen afore-mentioned. Be was about
thirty, tall, good-looking and agreeable,
and wealthy in the bargain. What morc
could the belle desire? However, she was
not in love with him—she merely wished
to captivate, just because, at present, he
was the only one who was cold or indiffer
ent to her eharmi. But John F. Emer
son was a man of sound sense and discern
ment, and was not as easily caught as she
imagined.
The evening passed pleasantly away,
however, although Caroline was somewhat
piqued at his distant politeness, yet she
consoled herself with the flattering hope
that he would be brought around in time.
She considered too, that a prise easily won
is not worth possessing, therefore she con
tented herself by laying plans for future
In the course of a few weeks these young
ladies with their father and mother started
for the falls of Niagara. They arrived safe
after a quick and pleasant journey, and
were soon installed in one of the best hotels.
Caroline was hero in her element—not
because she was a lover of nature in its
grand simplicity, but because she was Bur
sounded by a host of flatterers, not to say
admirers, who bowed at the shrine of her
reputed wealth, as well as to that of her
beauty. She thought with others that the
falls were grand in the extreme, and could
gaze on them with real pleasure, but there
was no lifting up the heart to God—no
tears swelling in the adoring vision—no
sinking on the knees, overwhelmed, by the
grandeur and awful sublimity of the ektie
—no exclaiming in the words of the gifted
Humans—
'The
rocks 'yield founts of courage,
Struck forth as by thy rod—
. For the strength of the hills we bum thee,
Our God, our father's God.
They had sojourned at Niagara but three
days when they were somewhat surprised
by the arrival of John F. Emerson. Carry
Battered herself that she was the attraction.
Row mistaken I
A grand ball was given the fkret week bf
their stay, and then Caroline Welboarto
was prepared to create a sensation. She
was splendidly dressed in sky blue satin, cot-
Bred with rich We flounces, and in bet
dark shining hair was braided • string of
glistening pearls. Bite certainly looked
beintiful and fanoinating, and were it not
for the air of hauteurt oovered tier like
a veil, she would have boon irresistible:
GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIBA I
Her modest sister Laura, was attired in
a dove-colored silk with a wreath of white
roses encircling her bright forehead. She
appeared lovely and interesting to all ; in
fact amid all the beauties there congregated
—and there were not a few, these two sis
ters showed to the most advantage. Their
Mother, seated. apart with several other
married ladies, who also had belle daugh
ters, was mach gratified at the attention
they received, and watched thorn whirling
through the dance, with all a mother's in
terest.
Among the gentlemen presented to our
belle, was one from New York, an exquis
ite of the first water. Junius Attica:Ls...Berk
ley was rather a handsome man, but his
affectation and air of superiority counter
balanced his good looks and polished man
ners in the eyes of many a fair sylph of the
dance. Not so, however, with la belle Car
oline—she was interested in him the mom
ent he supplicated her hand for a polka,
and as the moments wore on, she became
still more interested, in fact almost in love.
Emerson was her partner in one cotillion
and then danced twice in succession with
Laura. After that his attentions were
most particularly directed to a glorious
young creature from Virginia, whose dazz
ling eyes gleamed from their deep blackness
like fire-flies after twilight. She, however,
appeared to be a real coquette, and played
with her lovers like an experienced angler,
until she brought them panting to her
feet.
Laura at last grew weary of the dance,
and quietly stepped out on the balcony to
breathe the pure evening air. She had
not been there five minutes when her sis
ter approached accompanied by Junius A.
Berkley and a young lady who proved af
terwards to be his sister. They seemed
surprised to find Laura alone, and Caroline
rallied her upon it. Then introducing her
partner and Miss Boadicea Berkley, the
belle of the ball commenced an animated
discussion upon the 'starry gems of the
sky,' in the midst of which Miss Berkley
unceremoniously put her arm through that
of Laura, and drew her into the ball
room. They were immediately joined by
Emerson and a young friend of his from
Philadephia, who was an old acquaintance
of Boadicea, and as supper was that mom'
efftlinnounced, each offered his arm to his
companion and proceeded to the saloon.—
Supper being over, the dance eras again re-,
sinned and kept up till nearly day break.
A few days after the ball Emerson was
seen riding on horseback with the charming
Virginian, who was a graceful and fearless
equestrian. Every one sat them down as
engaged, and perhaps they were. Caro
line
would not believe it, but her sister did,
Miss Berkley, who passed for a very so
complished young lady, was almost con
stantly with Caroline and Laura. Her
manners were free and social, but she was
too fond of exaggeration and affected
speeches. The sisters liked her pretty well
but often laughed about her when absent.
One afternoon a party was made up to
visit Iris Island, among whom were our
acquaintainces. They set out merrily, jest,
lug and laughing and teasing one another
for the sake of mischief. The bridge over
the rapids was passed, and the dark grove
of the Island entered. Caroline was ac-
compauied by Junius A. Berkley, and his
sister had for a cavalier young • Johnston,
who was the particular friend of that young
lady, as I mentioned before. Emerson
was, as usual, at the side of the gay Vir
ginian, Araminta Ledyard, and seemed
perfectly engrossed in her company.—
Laura, like some of the other ladies, had
no particular attendant, but walked cheer
fully along with the rest, enjoying herself
in their enjoyment and occasionally stop
ping to sketch some romantic object that
caught her eye. At times she was left
comparatively alone. Once indeed, young
Emerson approached her, while she was
engaged in sketching the singular figure of
an Indian woman who was seated on a knoll
distributing bead ornaments to some of the
party who wore willing to buy. Asking
pardon for looking over her shoulder, the
young man expressed his administration of
her skill. She blushed deeply, and seemed
very much embarrassed for a moment. -1-
Then regaining composure, she replied gai
ly, and after a few moments, exclaimed
with mock earnostnoas--
' Mr. Emerson, run, run to your lady
love. See, she is disoonsolate without
you. Go, I beseech you.'
He looked at her half surprised.
' Who do you mean by my lady love ?
Surely not Miss Lodyard ?'
Yes of course I do. Everybody knows
it.'
' Every body is mistaken, then. but
she is calling me, and of °curse I must, go.'
And bowing he left her. Laura bent her
head closer to, her sketch-book, and soon
had finished her picture.
, Suddenly • piercing scream echoed
through Abe grove. All huriied in that
direction, and found Miss Berkely, stand.

As she paused and looked up, she met
the glowing eyes of John F. Emerson, bent
steadily upon her countenance, which was
suffused with crimson. She commenced a
brilliant waltz, and some of the company
began whirling around the room, while
Emerson stood by the piano, and when she
ceased playing, observed in a low voice, I
hope Miss Welbourne, your song is not true
in every sense. ion cannot be lonely sur

being unloved—' he paused, and his eyes
rested on her fame with a glance that sent
her blood thrilling through every vein, ere
she had recovered her usual placid demean
or, he was again at the side of Aramiuta,
apparently engaged in conversation.
Blessed, happy dreams hovered around
the pillow of Laura that night, and when
she appeared at breakfast, her friends ob
served a brighter light in her soh eyes and
a more brilliant glow on her cheek than
WBl natural to her. Emerson, too, was
there and though he strove to meet her
glance, it was already averted.
The next day was set for their return
home, and Caroline's admirer, Junius A.
Berkely was more attentive than ever.--
The 'Belle' expected a proposal every
moment, but much to her disappointment,
none came.
The day had gone by and night was a
gain around them. It was beautifully
clear, and the moon was full and cloudless.
Caroline was sitting in an easy chair pe
rusing a new novel. The windor curtain
half screened her from view—and an she
sat silent and still, footsteps sounded On the
piaiaa near: ; They approached and she
heard the voice of Berkley as if in reply td

Laura drew herself away with a soorn

Caroline was almost tempted to follow
her, but resisting the impulse, she again
seated herself and resumed her novel, not
to read, however.
The next morning the Welbourne's
started for home, accompanied by young
Emerson, who suddenly became very. at.
tentive to Caroline. She was much more
amiable in her manner than was usual
with her—ber haughtiness seemed laid a
side for a season, and she began to form
new hopes regarding the gentleman she
had once almost despaired of attracting.
Berkley had attended her to the cars and
on parting, pressed her hand, hoping that
he would have the pleasure of seeing her
again, and she replying hastily and coldly.

act of starting.
Some days after arriving at home. Em•

a short conversation asked to see their
father. Caroline replied that he was in

followed her out of the room. leaving Lau

this young lady ran out into the garden
and remained there until Emerson came
out and joined her.
'Dear Laura.' said he, 'it is as I hoped
—your father has consented. It only now
remains for you to name our nuptial day.'
Anil as they walked arm in arm through
the flowers and scented shrubbery the day
was named—and they, as lcivers were per
fectly happy.
When Laura rejoined her sister, she
found her- much suited..•l have some=

had a meaning—and I found my sarmisee

young friend, yon shall have my daugh

cards well, after all. But I think he might
have asked my consent first. No matter.
it is all the sante. Why don't you wish
me joy. Laura, and not stand there looking
so foolish. What ails the girl !'
Poor Laura ! Bhe was surprised and
bewildered. Her cheeks were as red as
scarlet and her lips trembled convulsively.
At last she stammered--.Sister,l—l think
—there is some—mistake--I—' and with
out finishing her sentence, ran away and
explained all to her mother, who was as
much delighted on one daughter's account
as she was. mortified on that of the other.
At tea. that evening, Mr. Weihoorne
observed with ■ sly smile—...ao girls, we
are to have a wedding soon, eh I'
'Who father ?' asked Caroline smiling
and blushing. She was confident of the
.newer.
Laura shrunk back into the shade as he
replied, .Is it possible she never told you ?

here and confess. lie says he has loved
you ever since he first sa w yon. and told me
even where he popped the question.—
Could you guess where it was, mother ?

Wasn't that a place ?'
To paint the expression of Caroline's
face would be impossible. For a few
minutes there was a desperate struggle
withine but at length, pride gained the mas
tery and she slowly recovered her equa
nimity.
t, With the others she quietly
wished her sister all happiness and soon
after left the room.
There was a brilliant wedding some
time alter that, at which Caroline , acted as
bridesmaid ; and I am sorry to say that
although neveml years, have since elapsed,
no one has ever stood with her in the same
capacity.
