MOEKISG.
When the golden beams are kindling
Alons the orieut sky,
And o'er the distance, sleeping,
The snow j vapors lie ;
IIow frh the springing zephyr,
By frolic echo led.
Comes flinging by the tear-drops
The weeping night hath shod.
Low murmurs from the valleys.
With wood notes from the dell,
Upon its silken pinions
In gentle muic swell ;
And waters leap r4 pmttle
Through mo.y bunks along.
With liquid numbers joining
The new awakened soug.
I love this dewy hour.
Its glad.-ome song of love.
The aiure of its mountains
Blent with the s y above;
,Tbe early flowers blowing.
Burn with a brighter blush,
And lucid waters flowing
With wilder cadence gush.
Then groves, whose swaying branches
The wild harp sings between,
Seeiu in the rm-l'ow radiance,
Arrayed in brighter green ;
And pour? a richer fragrance
From every bud 'Jin spray,
And larger wealto of honey
The wild bee bears away.
Oh! then this heart beats wilder,
And thon2ht3 unbidden rise.
A o!ig-birds from the valleys,
That seek the far off skier ;
And hopes once fondly cherished,
With feelinss long repressed,
Come back, wirhmu?ic stealing.
As light winds from the west.
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.
"0, Mother, Mot I er, I am so tired."
T!ij di;w drops quivered like imperial li
nion.l upon the br ad preen plumes of the
corn ik-ld by the way-side; the grass that
lent over the loot-path was heavy with
evening moisture, and the .-o'ifary pine free
at the curve of the road upheld its black
liin'.'t'd arras asrainst asun-et skv, where the
ruddy crimson had long sine:, faded into som
bre grey, Rird were warHing their last
vespers under the shadow o.1' softly moving
leaves: Dlossoms were closine their cup
along the course ot a thousand dulcet voiced
ftreatus; sleeping little ones were gatheied
fafely around every hearthstone, yet these
two wanderers Hung together, homeless and
alone, in the falling shadows of the night.
"Cheer up mv child, we havenot very far
to go. Cotue closer, let nie brush the dew
from jour curls. Now take my hand."
But the little child hurg back, sobbing
with weariness and exhaustion, and the pale
pung mother bending over her in a vain sit
t.ii'jt to soorhe the hysterical excitement.

whoels until the?" passed d,oe to her, and a
routrh heart- voice exclaimed :
"What ails the little girl. Ain't sick, is

Mary E!hworth had never seen Farmer
Raynesford before yet the moment Iter
fe-t rested on the wrinkled, sun-burned face
with the shnirtry brows overhanging kind
eyes, she fell that he was a friend,and made
sn-er promptly.
"Not siok. sir, hut very tired. We have
walked a long way to-day."
"(r-)t much furtherfo go?" asked the far
mer, tickling the horses ear with the eud of
hi whip.
"To Brecton."
Mr. Kaynesford cave a low whistlo.
"I know it," said the woman with a sitrrt,
"hut I have no money to hire a lodins
nearer. In Brecton' I hope to obtain work
n the factory."
Farmer Raynesford gave the seat of his
a?'in a thump with his whip handle, that
mah; o! 1 Bony drop the mouthful of clover
he was nippinz from-the roadside, and prick
up his ears in astotdshmen
"I won't hear to no such thing! Why,
j-it child can't go twenty rods further!
Here, ret in alone with me. You won't be
n"ne the worse for a bit of supper and a
food niirht's rest. I know Hannah'll scold"
s ne lifted the little girl to his side, and ex
tended hi hand to its niotherf "h'it I can't
fee folks perishin' bv the way-side and nev
er hrip 'em. I don't care if she scolds the
rof off the house."
, He drove rapi lly along, making occasional
interjeotional remarks to his horse, while
i''rs- Ellsworth drew her thin shawl arounl
the littla golden head that, already drooped
drowsily upon her shoulder, and thought
ith a iep sensation of gratitude wpon the
shelter Heaven had provided for her in her
greatest strait.
It wrjs an oddly shaped old farm house,
Frev with the storms of nearly a century.

lilae hiwhes, and a kitchen, where, even in
the bloomy month of .Tun-, a great fireroar

ail his better half ;n a tone of indignant
Temoiistrance. "We migtt jest as well hang
it a UTern sign at onoe, and done with it,
you're always bringing home some poor,
iiiisereable creature or other, and "
'"There, there, Hannah," interrupted Mr.
R. '"I'm always willing to hear to you when
you're any ways reasonable, but it goes against
me to see poor folks a sufferin' and never
stretch out a helping hand. Taint Scrip
ture nor it 'taint human nature."
"Well, go your own gait. Job Kaynes
ford," responded his wife tartly, "only mark
my words, if you don't end your days in the
poor house, twon't be through uo fault ot
yourn."
She shut the pantry door with a bang
that made all the jelly cups and milk pans
rattle, while Job with an odd grimace, went
out to help his guests alight.
"Don't mind the woman," said he apolo
getically, "she's kind o' sharp spoken, but
she means well arte'r all. We ain't all jest
alike in our notions, you know."
"If all the world were like vou." said the
young widow, with tears in her eyes, "there
would be less want and suffering by far.
Farmer Raynesford pretended not to hear
he was busy lifting little Mary out.
"Set on them blackberries, Hannah," said
he towards the close of their evening meal.
the little gal s so tired she can t eat noth
ing solid."
"I was calculating the blackberries for
the donation party to-morrow," said Mrs.
11., rising with rather an unwilling air.
"jvonsense. ouoth the farmer with a
broad laugh, "I'm having a donation party
of my own to-night. Here, little one, see
if these berries don't put tli3 color m vour
cheeks."
All the evening little Mary sat bv the
hearth, with her hands in her mother's and
her large blue eves fixed earnestly upon the
kind farmer's face.
"What are vou thinking about, dearest?"
asked Mrs. Ellsworth. She drew a long
sigh and whispered :
U, mamma, he is so kind to us.
The top of the far off eastern woods Ikj-
gan to turn gold by that, wondrous alchemist,
the rising sun, when Mrs. Ellsworth and her
little girl set out upon their long walk to
Brecton. Job Baynesford went with them
to the gate, fumbling unusually in his pock
et and glancing guiltily around, to make
sure that Hannah was not within seeing dis
tance. When Mary extended hor hand te
say a thankful good bye, to her astonish
ment a babk bill was thrust into it.
"Don't say nothing," muttered Job with
a sheepish air. "Ten dollars ain't much to
me, and if you don't chance to cet work in
the factory right away, it may be of a good
deal of use to you Needn't thank me
you're as welcome as flowers in May." He
bent over and ki-: -jd the child's forehead,
and stood watching them until the two
slight figures disappeared, andtmly the gol
den sky and the moving crest of the sum
mer woods remained.
"Ten dollars !" ejaculated Mrs. Raynes
ford who had witnessed this episode from
behind the curtains of her milk room window.
"Is Job Raynesford crazy? To give ten
dollars to a poor strolling vagrant? If he
don't get a piece of my mind."
And she hastened out. her cap border
fairly standing on end with horror. Job
awaited the earning tesupest with philosoph
ic coolness, his hands in his pockets, and
his lips parted in a good humored smile. It j
was not the first piece of Mrs. Hannah's
'mind' that had been bestowed ftpon him,
nor did he suppose it was likely to be the
las t.
"She means well," he said to himseW,
when the volley ot wrath had been discharg
ed on his luckless head and Mrs. R. had re
turned to her butter making, "but she has
got the greatest faculty for scoldin' of any
woman I ever saw."
The years flitted by, sprinkling the steep
old farmhouse roof with the crystal drops
of April showers, and thatching it with the
dazzling ermine of January snows many and
many a tin e. Grev hairs crept in among
the raven locks ot Farmer Raynesford, care
worn wrinkles began to gather around his
mouth and brotv. Alas ! those swift-footed
years brought troubles innumerable to the
kind old man.
"Twenty years!" mused he one bright
June morning, "it don't seem possible. Han
nah, that it was twenty jears ago this very
day, that I c.-iught that ugly fall from the
ha rack and got lamed for life."
He lookeddown at the crutches by his
side as he spoke, and sighed to the very
depths of his heart.
Hannah stood in the doorway, tossing
corn to a forlorn little colony of chickens.
Twenty years had not improved her in any
respect she was gaunter, bonier, and more
vinegar-faced than ever.
"Yes," said she slowly, "and perhaps you
don't remember "that it was' just twenty
years ago to day that you threw ten dollars
away on that woman and her child. I said
1 ...
that, you would end your days in tne poor
house, and I don't see but what my predic
tion is likely to come true. Didn't I say
you'd live to repent it ?"
"I won't deny, Hannah." said the old
man, "but that I've done things I've been
sorry for we ain t none ot us perfect, you
know, wife but that is not one of them.
Nd, I never for a minute repented being
kind to the widow and the fatherless.
Hannah shrugged her shoulders, but made
no answer.
"Didn't you say you were going up to see
that rich lawyer about the five thousand
dollar note to-day?" she asked presently.
"Yes." but I don't suppose it'll be of much
use. If he'd wait a little, I'd do my best
to pay him. Jones says he 11 be sure to sell
the oid place over our heads however ; they
tell me he is a hard man. I mean to explain
to him just how the matter stands, and "
"I told ym how it wmld be long ago!
ejaculated Hannah, unable to retain her
vexation. Wrhat op airth ever possessed you
to sign for Jesse Fairweather?"
"Imposed he was an honest man, and
wouldn't see an old friend wronged."
"Fiddlesticks !" exclaimed Mrs. Raynes-
iora, tnat 8 lust vour calculation. Job !
There Zeke has brought the wagon ; do
start off, or you'll be too late for the Sew
lork tram !
And Job obeyed meekly, only too happy
to escape from the endless discord of his
wife s railing tongue.
The rays of the noondav sun streamed
brightly through the stained glass casement
or iir. Jveneigb s superb (iothie library.
The room was decorated with every appear
ance ot weaitu aud taste. elvet chairs,
with tall backs ot dainty rosewood, wire
scattered here and there ; mai ble vases oc
cupied niches beside the doorway, and the
rarest pictures hung ou the panneled and
gilded wails. But the prettiest object of all
tne one wnicn tue ncn lawyer ottenes
raised his eyes from his writing to conteui
plate with an involuntary smile of pride and
anection was a lovely woman in a white
cashmere morning robe, trimmed with vel
vet, who stood oppo-itearranging flowers
in a uouquec. one wore a spray or oerrics,
carved of pink Neapolitan coral, at her
throat, and liny pendants of the same rare
stone in her small shell-like ears, and the
slender waist was tied round with a broad
pink ribbon.
"There Walter, isn't that pretty?" she
asked, holding up heicomp!eted bouquet.
"Very pretty," he answered, looking not
at the ioaes and geraniums, but direcily at
tua blue eyes and goldeu curls ot his beau
tiful young wife.
"You're not even noticing it,"she pouted."
"Because i sae somt thing much better
worth looking at," said he playfully.
"Do you really love me so very much?
she asked, throwing dowu the flowers, aud
coming round to his side.
He rose aud drew her caressingly towards
mm.
"My dearest, you are more precious to me
than the whole wor.d beside !
She let her head nst for a moment on his
shoulder, and when she raided it, thers was
a tear on her eyelashes.
"Oh, Walter, it' mamma could only have
lived to see how happy we are."
There was a knock at the door. Mrs. Ev
erleigh slipped from her huaLund's arm,
with the prettiest blush in the world, and
was very busy with her flowers when the
lich lawyer's right hand mau put his griz
zled head into the room.
''The old titan to see you about the Jesse
Fairweatl er business, sir."
"Show him in. Don't look so disappoint
ed, love," he said to his wife, as the griz
zled head disappeared, "i shall not be de
tained three minutes, and the horses are at
the door. "
Mary Everleigh never troubled her pretty
little head about business matters, so she
never looked up as the halting sound of old
Job Kaynesford s crutch echoed on the car
pet. But the instant he spoke she started
as if a,t arrow had smote her,and stood it h
her large eyes dilated and her slander hands
clasped together, liste: ing as intently as if
her life depended on hearing every word.
The nian.was politely inflexible. Atlength
Job Raynesford turned to go.
"Weil, sir, "said he in a subdued tone,"I
don't know much about the law and law
books, but it does seem hard that an old
man should be turned out of the home that
has sheltered him for sixty years, and alitor
no fault of his own. They say you're a very
rich gentleman, sir five thousand dollars
may seem a small sum to you, but it is my
all!" m m
Mrs. Everleigh's voice broke the momen
tary silence that succeeded this appeal.
"Walter, come here one minute I want
to speak to you."
He obeyed, somewhat surprised; she
drew him into the deep recess of the stained
glass bay window, aud standing there, with
the rosy and amber shadows playing about
her lovely brow, liko some fair pictured
saint, she told him how, twenty years ago,
a wearied child and its mother were fed and
sheltered by a kind-hearted stranger: how
he had given them money and kind wishes !
when they were utterly alone and desolate
in the world. 4
"But, my love, what has this to do with
mv business matters?"
""Much, Walter; l am that little child.'"
"You, nv' dearest!"
"I, my husband ; tind the noble man, who,
I am pursuaded, saved my life that night,
stands yonder, with grey, bowed head und
siuking heart i"
"Mary, you must surely be mistaken."
"I cannot be mistaken, Walter. I should
know him among a thousand. You said
you loved me this morning now grant nie
one little boon?"
"What is it, dearest?"
"Give me the noto he spoke of."
Mr. Everleigh silently went to a small eb
ony cabinet, unlocked it, and drew out a
folded paper, which he placed in he hands.
She glided up to the old man, whohad been
gazing out. of the window, and placed a soft
hand on his arm.
"Do you remember the little golden-haired
Mary whom you found with her mother,
wearied out upon the roadside, twenty
years ago?"
"Do I lemember her.lvdy ? It was but this
morning I was recalling the whole scene?"
"And don't you recognize me ? she asked,
smiling up into his face, as she threw back
the droopi-g curls. "I am little Mary !"
He stood in bewildered silence ; all of a
sudden the truth seemed to break upon him,
and he laid his hands upon her head with a
tearful blessing.
"And your mother, my child?" . .
"She has been dead for years ; but it is
my dearest task to be the instrument of her
gratitude. Here is the note you endorsed
my husband has given it tome ;see!"
A small spirit lamp was burning in one
of the niches ; she held the bit of paper
over its, flame until it tell a cloud of fight
ashes upon the floor.
"Well!" ejaculated Mrs. Raynesford M
she met her husband at the door, at the in
stant his crutches sounded on the gravel
path.
"Why don't you speak? Of course I
know you've nothing but bad news to tell,
but I may as well hear it at once. Have
you seen the gentleman? what did he say?"
"Hannah!" said old Job Raynesford
slowly folding up his gloves, "do you re
member the ten dollars I gave that poor
young wanderera score of years ago to-day?"
"Why, of course I do; didn't I remind
you of it not twelve hours since? What
has that to do with our troubles, pray?"
"Just this to-day I received payment,
principal and interest"
What do you mean, Job Raynesford?"
"The little golden-haired child that sat
beside our hearthstone that June evening is
lawyer Everlcigh's wife, and I have seen her
burn the note that has hung like a millstone
round my neck these many years. She said
it was but the discharging of a sacred debt
of gratitude ; but Heaven knows I looked
for no such reward. ' '
There was a moment's silence. The old
man was pondering over the past, and Mrs.
Raynesford was so taken by surprise that
she really could not speak.
"And now, wife, what have you to say
about my financial mistakes?" said Job,
archly.
Mrs. Raynesford had no argument suited
to the emergencies of the case, so very
wisely said nothing.
