"GO BA.OK, ROSE. YOUR TOO LIT
TLE TO e031E."
There were three of Us--Kato, Annette
and:Myself—and we were going into the
oldtwogd to hoot for Strawberries. Oh.]
it'wasitich a delicious day in Juno. Tho
birds sang till the air was fairly vocal with
their melody, and all the green trees nod
ded. their heads in approbation. The•very
brook seemed , to •• hat , e eatight the general
inspiration, and danced along the mead
ows' as if keeping, time to the quickstep of
the fairies. •
Annette Somers and I had been invited
to upend the hulf.holiday with our school
mate Hariington. Dettecin Harritigton's
old:fashioned brown house fronted toward
the South. Behind it stretched a broad
green meadow, and still farther back was
densely' wooded acclivity, famous for flow
ers mid berries in the geography of every
child in nyefluld. I used to love to look
at Deacon Harringten's old brown house,
even in those early days; whim I had not a
well Alined idea of artistio,insm in toy
Burly head. I know now 040..1300,in—
ed to ar. eminent degree the cklijunts of
the picturesque. The low roof which slc
pod backward nearly to the ground, *Sal,
gray with moss. Ivy &wept about, the win-
, tlows, and odor the [twit: pitch twined
the climbing roses, along with heavy clue- '
tors of trumpet-orcerr.
'Toro was a rude seat at the doorway,
made of the little boughs of the white
birch twisted Whither to tatittimtie fashion,
and here gratilluvotht., Harrington was
wont to sit, with her gray wollen knitting
work. Oh ! what a treat we used to think
it to spend a half !volitluy with Kate liar.

I turned round, I remember, and tlio't
how beatititel was the little creature coin
ing toward us. was very unlike her
ht -t ee Kate. Kate was a bruucttc, but the
little wititu•racd figure nipping across the
meadow had a pulu spiritual faee,uud long
• owls of golden heir falling to her tiny
waist. There was a flush on her elieck,
and a look al eager, beseeching in tut est iu
her large blue eyes; and sbu stretched her
•,dittiplod tams toward us, and kept crying
iu her earnestness:
, iPlease, gills, wait for rose.'
A honk of vexation cross e d K a t e ' s face

"lie buck, Rose,you're too little to come !
Go back:! go back !"
KAtO always had a way of being wind
cid, and the little olio put her lingers to her
eye., and silently turned toward the house.
We hurried o.i .in .the direction - of the
wood, without giving at single glance back
ward. I think Kate's .uotistitousness re-
Tumefied her for her selfishness, and I
know that my own
.pleasure was spoiled
for the afternoon. ,AVe found plenty of
.strawberries red and ripe, among their bed
of leaves. There were little blue-eyed ,
too, chat kept rewinding the of I
ltmie, and I was not sorry when the sun
set shadows filugthened. and we turned to
. go tome.
"We had gone down the 'bill out of the
wood, and 'crossed several rods of the Ines,
dow-land, when Kate said;
_in a hoarse
whisper': -- . —" See there, girls, what is that
•whitii thing by the brook ? Do yea see
We eaw it, and hurried toward it. It
was Rose. At first we thought ebe was
dead—scarcely seemed the faint et breath
to steal from tier parted lips, .n the pul.
eatious of her heart were so ;reek you
could scarcely feel thew: She was in a
kind of a trance like sleep. It was some
tiine . before we succeeded in waking her,
and then her limbs seetued chilled and
stiffened s by. the subtle dampness of the
meadetv-land atmosphere. She could not

~
with a wild look ,of alarm. "Good heav

"No ma'am ; but ehe want into thd

"Oh, there were anxious hearts in Deacon

say : !Please, sister Kate, isn't Rose

Three days passed—days of incessant
watching and weariness, and toward eve
ning the little nose opened her blue eyes,
after a restleasslumber. She seemed much
bettor, and the mother glanced hopefully
up to the kind physician bending over her. .
"I cannot say she's better madam. God
knows I. wish I could ; but Ross must die
before midnight 1" and the tears stood iu
glittering drops on the good man's cheeks.
The mother's great grief ws not noisy.
She quietly lifted her darling from the bed
cud sat,down with her in her arms. Kate
stood by, sobbing as italready the brand
of Cain were upon her brow.
"Please, nnannia," said the little one at
length—"am big enough Lego to Heav
en ?"
"Yes, darling," was the tearful answer.
"Jesus loves little children."

There were tears, sighs, and a little cof
fin. The rosebud opened its petals,owthe

was "big enough for fleaveu!"
Burying a Bailiff.
The last story told of M. Alexander
Dumas. the famous novelist, is .1 good
one. it is well known that, in early Ide,
Dumas was continually being touted a
bout from pillar:to pout by hungry bailiffs,
anxious to arrest him and clap him into
prison. He is now in better circumstan
ces and need (ear for them no longer ; but
the souvenir of his youthful _ days still
clogs to him, nod lie owes the remorse

Perhaps the most wonderful and inter

in the Horticultural Exhibition recently

The seed from which this corn was rais

search them out. After sortie trouble" he

keen appetite and erjuyea the meal, but
for the first time in his life partook of a I
dish which even Parker, with all leis in
genuity and originality in providing tempt. i

two convetsation with Mr. Webster, and ,
among other things was anxious to know
what pursuit his young friend intended to ,
lullow. Mr. Webster replied that he had
not definitely made up his mind, but sup- ,
posed he should either be a physician, a
minister, or a lawyers
"Dan' I," said Hammond, "You've a
good head, and can 'make a figure in the

valuable gold-headed cane iu his hand, was
stopped by a wretched-looking man who
dragged himself painfully along on crutch

gentleman, moved to compassion, generous
ly gave the beggar a piece of silver.—
"Bow eau you be so foolish," cried a man
standing by,'suthat fellow is an impostor,
and uo more lame than you, are. Just lend
the your cane for a minute, and by means
of a sound thrashing I will convince you of
the,tiuth of what I say." The gentleman
nfoctatileally let . •the man take - the 'eune,,
and the beggar, throwing down his crutches
