Oh. dare we take the lesson
Of the dew drop and the rain ?
Do the argels who have left us

Do they keep th mem ry ot the home

MY STEP-MOTHER.
'J. wonder what papa has gnnc to (3 len
vi'k so sonn again for. Po you know, Mrs.
Alien?" I a.kcJfif the lady who had acted
i hu-cLcci)cr fn iur family for the four
)' ars tint we three childreu had been writ
ten "motherless."
'"I did not s.-k hhii," she replied.
Her evasive reply increased my (suspicion,
and after twirling niy tVukin a moment, I
sai J : "Well, we sometimes know tiie reason
of tliiitL's, rnd therefore are not obliged to
n-k fur infoiT.Auc.n."
After a moment's silence she replied :
liNt, Nellie. T do 'not know for what pur
jv-eyour father S"!."it (Jlenvilie."
"But. stnmfsiispCC," I persisted, "and
wJo I. Po you'liitt?"
''If so, I do nht think it s-,t to say any
thing shout ii."
Two days after fapa returned, nnl after
es we LMth.'tvd in the parlor, for papa is a
lawyer und -li I not tny in his office evenir.ss.
Mis. Alien tr-iik her knitting, Florie was
enilini itrin;j. and I took up a magazine,
hnt nut to read. I had told Florie that the
Ti. t time papa aked me to sing I would
i'nr the piece railed '"I Cannot Call her
M.'tl.r," and a I wa- momentarily expect-
inj Ajh a rerjue-t, I was trying to get up
HiiTiciiTit courage to do so. But papa sat in
Jiis ea.-y 'hair, with hi head thrown back
and his eyes cloxtd. I stole a look at him
and whl-pered to Florie, "Potibtless papa
bthinki.i of the fWfccinntirig lady who is lo
It: the fniiiTc Mrs. Gordon." Before Florie
C"'i'.l reply, papa opened his eyes and a.sked
sum ,;iy, and I rose with a little flutter
iwof the heart to do so. I took up a pile
of niusi; in order to gain time, and looked
iuivr. then laying it down upon the music
1 1 Gruels, the first note to the prelude
or the j.i.-ee I had said I would play. I5e
f'Jie I iiLVaa the words Mrs- Allen left the
Tmm. She knew what it was and thought
it mijjht leal to remarks that tht) would not
!:i-'t" h-:r. My voice nerer once faltered
a-1 ani it with as much feeling as I could
thru ,:. the word.s. When I liad finished,
Ihue wa- perfect silence in the room for a
h in r,ts. 1 finally began a lively march,
'ft r -ii '3 iiiieuupted me, and said in a pleas
ant t in,., Voa need not play any more this
'-vtru! '. N.iiie, for me. I hope you did
"it -hi t'novo -erses because they expressed
I-"!r ft"n vjniiments, did you?"'
1 J i)it know what difference it can
i. jI- t . uey one whether these lines express
' -i':n.'s or not," 1 replied:rather coldly.
It some difference with your
'ii-iiu Lappiiicvs," he continued. "I aui to

"it with you, my daughter?" turning to
'T-e. and his voice had a tenderer tone
l!lan alien he spoke to me; "do you hare
your iter's feelings?"
0, paj.a! I do not want anew mauima."
'V hy do you care, Florie ?"
Ueeau-e she will spoil all our plans and
"ie as d i just what we do not wish to.and
Sah us all the time, and and"
"Who told you all that, my dear ?"
"Nellie."
"Why, Nellie, I thought you had too
much sense to talk toa younger sister in such
a way as that I"
" Well," I replied angrily, "I would like
to know if there ever was a step mother
who was not as cross, and disagreeable, and
hateful as she could be. I never heard of
one."
"By what means did you become so ex
tensively informed on the subject of step
mothers?" asked papa, ironically
"Well, there is a description of one in
'Claudiue'8 Trials,' and one in 'Mereic Mor
ton; besides, I have known two young la
dies who were blessed with such usurpers at
home, and I gained some of my extensive
information from them.''
"So, from the overdrawn pictures of
trashy novels, and the sensation stories of
school misses you judge of the whole. If
your mind is so prejudiced, it will take a
more able advocate than myself to show you
upon what a flimsy base your opinions are
constructed ; therefore we will say do more
about it'
The evening came on which papa and his
wife how my lip curled as I spoke the word
were expected. I had just said to Florie.
" 'What can't be cured must he endured,'
but she will soon learn what frigid politeness
means from nic, and I hope you too. I'll
own I'm anxious to see her, fori cannot ex
actly determine what course to pursue until
I do."
"I wanted to ask rapa how she looked but.
didn't dare to after you sang that song to
him," returned Florie, when we heard the
carriage at the door.
"Smooth your hair now and pin your col
lar stf:-.:?ht, " I hastily exclaimed. "Don't
let Mrs. Gordon think you a young heathen,
to whom she is, to act the part of a mission
ary.'' We had taken tea and were in the parlor.
I had taken mamma's portrait and hung it
in the room Florie and I occupied. We
had one there then, but I remarked to Florie,
as I carried it np staira, "Ain't I good to
save Mrs. G onion all the trouble possible?
Now we can have one apiece."
I felt really nervous when the carriage
stopped at the door, but I did not follow
Ned and Flo as they rushed into the parlor
till after they had been to the dining room
and partaken of some refie.-hment. As
papa presented his "eldest daughter" to his
wife, I rose and coldly offered her my hand.
The lady who was hereafter to occupy my
dear mother's place in the household was
about thirty years of age, medium bight,
good looking, and a pleasant smile lighted
her face, as she held my hand a Tjiouient
and "hoped I was well." Later in the eve
ning she expressed a desire to hear me play.
I did rise immediately; but when she said :
"Po not unless it is perfectly ngrceablc to
you. .Most certainly it is, 1 replied. and
selecting the one, "I Sit and Weep by Moth
er's Grave," as tho most inappropriate one
I could find, I sung it with much pathos,
for my heart was full of grief and my eyes of
unshed tears. I rose from the piano and
gluuced at papa and his new wife. Her
eyes were full of tears as she said to me in a
low tone :
"You sung it with much feeling, Nellie ;
probably .nore bcca-ise you can sympathize
with tho author, and I can sympathize with
both. I have uo mother, aud I too have
loved
'To sit and weep
Beside dear mother's grave.' "
This was so different ficm what I expect
ed that I could not reply, and merely bowed
my head. As we entered the breakfast
room the following morning, Mrs. Gordon
took the head of the table, and foolinh child
that I was, feit the angry blood rush to my
face. I had occupied that place six months
ever since I had donned long dresses
and I thought, "She takes mamma's place
ana mine too. Alter papa nan gone uown
town, and Mr Gordon, Florie and my
self were left at home, she chatted so pleas
antly with us that I had almost regiwtted
the part I had determined to act ; but wuen
the . gardner eame in, and directing his re
marks to me, akcd if he should take up all
the dahlia roots for winter, I grew angry
and said: "Vou can ask Mrs. Gordon. I
obal' not direct fnv more about the flowers."
1 did not look at her to notice the effect of
my words, but Florie said her face colored.
However, her voice was calm as she said:
"I will go into the garden in a moment and
tell you," and taking a fhawl she passed out,
leaving me a-dnraed that I did not speak in
a les ungracious manner.
I need not mention every little act of hers
that j lowly but surely undermined the pre
judices against step mothers which I had
imbibed from early childhood. A few weeks
after she became a member of our house
hold she tapped at my chamber, and, after
coining in and sitting a few moments, which
was spent in pleasant conversation, she said
to me :
"Was not one of those portraits of your
mother taken from the parlor, Nellie?"
"The one over the table was," I replied,
"I hung it here a few weeks ago."
"Well, if you are willing I will replace
it," bhe continued, "so that all the family
ca have the same pleasure you do. I think
your forehead resembles hers very much,"
she added ; as she stepped Into a chair and
took it down.
I had not a word to utter. I felt that I
was killed by kindness ; yet, after all this, I
enJeavored to maintain that reserve of man
ner that I had determined should ever char
acterize my deportment toward her. The
time for the elosing of the school came, and
I asked papa to get me an expensive set of
coral and cold ornaments to wear. "I will
think of it," lie returned ; but when we were
alone he said to me :
"Ellen, if you will call my wife 'mother,'
I will get those things for you. I do not
like to hear you call her 'Mrs. Gordon,' es
pecially before strangers."
"Very we'd," I returned ; I can do with
out them : they are not absolutely necessa
ry to my happiness."
The morning of the exhibition -day came,
and as I was leaving the institution I saw
Mru Gordon come out of the jeweler's and
walk hastily toward home. I followed, vex
ed and almost angry, I thought to myself,
"If I call her 'mothar at dinner, papa will
notice it and get nie the ornaments while I
am dressing, and I can wear them to the
exhibition this afternoon and to the party
this evening. I wonder what Emma An
drews would say if I should, as I told her I
never would while I lived, and I won't, so
that's decider?. "
Dim ct over, I went up to my room to
dress, for the exercises were to commence at
two. As I stood by the table, I noticed a
small kid case, with a slip of paper on it. I
opened the paper which bore my name on
the outside, and read: "Will Nellie accept
this from her friend Alice Gordon?" In
the box lay the long coveted ornaments in
their satin bed. This last act of forbearance
and love was more than I could endure, and
I sobbed bitterly, while conscience upbraid
ed me for the past. I did not wish to go
down, and as Florie was dressed I wrote on
a slip of paper, "Accept the thanks of your
tltiightcr, Ellen," and she carried it to
mother, as I then determined to call her.
In a few minutes I heard steps approach
ing, and turning I laid my head on her
shoulder and murmered ; "Forgive me,
mothvr."
Gently she smoothed back the heavy
bands of hair from my forehead. "I did
not do this to buy your love, Nellie," she
said. "I hope you would have given that
without this testimony of my affection."
From that day the most perfect confi
dence existed between us, and I ever found
her a True friend a faithful adviser. And
now, though a decade of years have passed
away, I still remember the look of satisfac
tion that rested on her fare, at the result of
her labor of love, when I yielded ti the dic
tates of my better nature, and gave her a
daughter's love and respect.
A little child, whose lips have hut just
learned to speak the sweetest of all names
mamma is sleeping in her tiny couch at
my side; and when I think of the future of
the iitile one God has committed to my
care, I pray to tha Great Disposer of all hu
man events, that if I be called to leave her,
while yet her feet are in the thorny paths
uf childhood and youth, that she may find
as faithful a friend, though a stop-mother,
as she whom in my early youth I learned to
call by that name.
This wide and unfounded prejudice a
gjiinst the class referred to lias caused much
unha) piness in many families.
Let all who have the eare of children do
all in their power to disabuse their young
minds of such a feeling.
Experience has taught me that one may
find a true, faithful and loving friend even
in the person of a step-mother.
A Good One. A young blood residing
not a half dozen miles from this place, was
the victim of rather a good joke on Sunday
night recently. IIo was trying to he par
ticularly "sweet" on a young lady, and had
paid her a uumber of visits at the residence
of her parents. The old folks had somehow
got an idea into their heads that the child
ren were rnosl to young to "keepcompany,"
and ermveyed the desired hint hy calling
the girl out of the room and sending her to
bed at nine o'clock, the lady of the house
astonishing tho young gent by bringing into
the parlor a huge piece of bread and butter,
nicely spread with sugar, tthich she present
ed to him, saying, in her kindest manner,
"There, Bubby, take this and run home
to your mother ; it's time little boys were
in bed." The would-be gay young beau
hasn't felt as though he wanted any more
sweetness from that source since.
"Papa," said a little boy to his father tho
other day, "when one fellow strikes another
hain't he got a right to strike him back ?"
"Certainly he has," replied the father,
"the law of selfdefenee sanctions it."
"Well, I'll tell you what it is," replied
voung hopeful, "the next time you box my
ears, I'll hit you a devil of a crack on the
smeller."
"Mr. Guzzlefunction, I have discovered a
new drink for you. Suppose you frj a lit
tle." "Well, I don't eare if I do'," (drinks.)
"It haiu't got a very bad taste to it ; and if
my memory serves me right, it is what they
call water. I reecollect drinking some
when I was a lad."
"I will give you my head," exclaimed a
person to President Lincoln, "if every word
of the story is not true." "I accept the
offer," said the President; "presents of
small value strengthen the bonds ot friend
ship, and should never be refused."

bird, whipped by its mate, and Jonah ?

BECKY HASLAHD'S PLACE.
"I don't know whether you will suit me
or not," said Miss Towers reflectively.
"I will do my best, ma'am," said little
Becky.
"Any objection to the country?" de
manded MissToweis in a brasque, business
like way.
"No ma'am."
"I never kept a girl before," said Miss
Towers gravely. "But irry brother is com
ing home this summer, and I don't warst
to be obliged to be in the kitchen all the
time ! Where have you lived last ?"
Becky grew Pink all over.
"I have never lived out before, ma'am ;
but my unele died suddenly, and there was
no more than enough left to support my
aunt, so I am going to try and tupport my
self.'' "Very right and pfopeT," said Miss Tow
ers. So Miss Towers took Becky Ilarland back
with her to the old stone farm house in the
Jlousatonic valley. And Becky was never
tired of helping Miss Towers, strain tho
milk, and work over the butter, and feed
the little downy turkeys, and gather pink
honeysuckles. And the roses on her cheeks
grew deeper, and the velvet bloom on her
lips seemed to catch the scarlet of the wood
strawberries,and Miss Towers declared, with
an admiring gaze at her little "help," that
"she didn't look like the same child she was
before."
Meanwhile, the preparations for Miss
Towers' brother went briskly on.
"I'll make up a lot o' cocoanut pound
cake," said Miss Towers with the recipe
book in her lap. "That's what he used ro
be desperate fond of when he was a boy !"
"Perhaps his tastes may hate changed,"
said Becky, who was rubbing tho old ma-
logany furniture with a waxed cloth, at the
other end of the room.
"I don't know about that," said -Miss
Towers, with a troubled air, "I haven't seen
him since !"
"Not seen him since he was a boy?" said
Becky.
"Well, it does sound strange, don't it?"
said Miss Towers; "but you see he went
away from home when he was fifteen, and
he's been out in the world ever since."
"Is he a very old gentleman, Miss Tow
ers?" innocently questioned Becky as she
rubbed away at the claw-foot of an autique
pier table
"Oldl" cried Miss towers, uplifting both
hands in amazement. "Why, he's ever so
much younger than I am !"
'Is he?" asked Becky. "7.hr, I've
been fancying him all along an old gentle
man in a wig !"
Miss Towers burst into a hearty fit of
laughter.
"Well, that docs beat all!" she cried,
wiping the tears from underneath her spec
tacle glasses. "But after all, to a stranger
that don't know the family story, it might
very easily appear so. You see, child, my
mother was a wi Jo w when she married for
the second time, and dear heart alive !
hat docs ail that little turkey chick.
squeaking like a possessed creature? llun
llebecca, and see."
Becky was sitting in the twilight on the
door-stone that evening, oue cheek resting
on her hand, and her eyes dreamily fixed on
the far off wall of woods, growing purple in
the coming dusk. M iss Towers had gone to
carry a little basket of her ripest strawber
ries to a sick neighbor, and Becky was all
alone, thinking over her past, and ponder
ing vaguely on her future '
"How strange it seems that I should be
here," she thought, "when it is scarcely a
year since I was the gayest little butterfly
in all the city ball rooms ! The echoes of
those old waltzes and gallops come baek to
me sometimes, when I am just fuliing asleep,
with the moonlight on my face, and tho
maple leaves rustling softly at my open case
ment ; and yet I aui far heppier here. That
is, I should be, if I could only forget one
thing. I wonder what girls want to be so
wilful and capricious tor ! Oh dear," and
Becky's blue eyes swam with tears as she
remembered the handsome lover who had
been so true and faithful and constant, un
til her own coquetry had driven him from
her side. "I would so like to know what
Colonel Falconer is doing now, and whether
he is married yet, and if he ever thinks of
me. I would write to him if I were Miss
Ifarland, the petted heiress still ; but little
Becky, who does housework for her daily
bread ah, nevor; never !
And Bocky, anxious to escape her own
hanntniff thoughts, jumped up ana ran
across the dewy meadow to meet Miss Tow
era, whose tall angular figure ?as ju3t com
ing in sight, round the curve of the maple
swamp.
"Bless and save the child !" cried Miss
Towers. "Why Kebecci.you wasn t afraid,
was you?"
"Vo Yes I don't know. Let me car
ry your basket, Miss Towers."
"Rebecca." cried the old lady, next
morning, as she drove the shaggy litt'e po
ny into the door yard, returning from the
villace nost office, '1 ve got a letter. He s
coming to-night."
"Is he?" said Becky smiling because Miss
Towers' face was so radiant. "Then I'd
better run out in the garden and gather a
froth lot of strawberries before the sun gets
any husher."
"Yes, run along; and remember, Kebej-
ca, all that I've told you about sitting quiet,
and never disturbing him when he wants to
write, and speaking very low, and keeping
out of his way, except when you're wanted
for he has just Come from England, where
they are particular about servants.
Becky colored high, and the next uioiueut
reproached herself for her foolish sensativc-
ness. After all, what was she but a ser
vant? "Yes, ma'am, I will remember," she
made answer meekly, ami folded up Miss
Towers' black barege shawl, while that la
dy hurried out into the kitchen to see wheth
er the fire was in a proper couditiou for the
baking of divers and sundry savory com
pounds designed to tempt the appitite of
the expected gcest.
"I wi.ih he wasn't coming!" thought
Becky. "We have been so happy together,
all the summer, aud now "
But Miss Towers' voice shrilly calling to
Becky to conic antf stone some raisins for
her, interrupted the discontented fragment
of a reverie into which she had fallen
Miss Towers was arrayed like unto the
Illlies of the field in her new steel colored
silk dress our similie applies to the gener
al girgeousness of her apparel, not its color
merely and white saiir, ribbons in her cap,
hen the stage rumbled into shiht round
the corner of the fence, whre a huge wil
low waved its green banner, shutt'frg off all
outside view beyond its streaming boughs.
Little- Becky Ilarland, who had been on
the qui rice ''at the. garret window, came
Hying down stairs like 2 thlstle-dowa blown
by the summer breeze.
"Oh, Miss Towers! Miss Towers! there
is a gentleman ail alone on the back seat of
he staze, and I am sure it must be Mr.
Towers!"
"Mr. Towers!" repeated the old lady, in
n accent almost of irritation. "Why, Re
becca, I'm sure I've told you that his name
n't Towers; it is "
But here she broke short off, hurrying to
he front door to greet the new comcr.while
Becky, in an unaccountable fit of shyness,
hrank back into the corner, and looked up
ntenlly at the picture of Ruth and Naomi
that hung over the mantel piece.
I wish ho hadn't coruo ! I wish he
hadn't come !" repeated Becky over and
over to herself. "We were so happy be
fore!"
And then remembering Miss Towers' ju
dicious advice as to "keeping out of the way
except when she was wanted," Becky turn
ed to escape out among her friends, the
downy chickens, at the south door ; but to
her infinite discomfiture, just as she opened
the door, Miss Towers' steel colored silk
rustled up to the threshold with a talI,Rtale-
ly figure walking by her side, and poor lit
tle Becky came lace to face with thcin.
her cheeks dyed scarlet, and her red-brown
hair dishevelled by her haste, yet looking
wonderfully pretty withal.
''Rebecca!" slowly enunciated Miss Tow
ers, in an accent tietosening a sort oi muu
displeasure,
But her tall companion, a man of about
thirty five, with dark grey eyes, hair black
as a raven's wing, and a face which, if not
strictly handsome,bore the exquisite outlines
of refinement, had hastily passed her, at.d
entered the room.
"Becky f My darling Becky!"
"Colonel Falconer!" was all the girl could
gasp, so totally bewuuereu was sue.
'Bless my soul ! ejaculated Miss lowers,
rubbing her spectacles as if sho would wear
a hole in the crystal lenses ; "how ever did
Rebecca get acquainted with my brother?"
"1 was engaged to be married to him once,
Miss Towers," said Becky, coloring and
smiling, for there was something in Colonel
Falconer's eyes that told her all the past wa3
n a fair way to be forgiven.
'And she will be again, Eunice, unless I
have lost all my old arts of persuasion," de
murely added Colonel Falconer.
"But," cried Miss Towers, "why didn't
you tell me, Rebecca?"
Because, M iss Towers,'" answered Becky,
"I never dreamed fr an instant that your
brother's namt! was anything but Towers,
or that Colonel Falconer could by any possi
bility be related to you !"
Well !" Cried Miss Towers, "if this don't
beat all that I ever heard of that Maurice
aicotlfir should Dear me, there goes the
kettle boiling over in the back kitchen !"
And away went Jliss lowers, every
housewifely instinct in her bosom roused by
the .sibilant sounds of the escaping clouds
ot vapor.
When she came back it is but jusl to
state that she stopped to take the two pans
of buttermilk bisciit out of the oven, and to
reach down sundry tumblers of amber jelly
from the top shelf of the cupboard Colonel
Falconer and Becky Ilarland were vety
snug an.l conauentiai on me itoul porcu.
Becky blushed a little when Miss Towers
came out. but shu did not withdraw her
hand from Maurice Falconer's.
' Well," said that lady, after a single keen
glance through the gold spectacles, '
s'pose I shall lose my hired help."
"Yes ; but then, sister Eunice, said the
Colonel, "I shall gain such a sweet little
wife.
"Is it really so?" said Miss Towers.
"Yes, it is really so," laughed Becky.
Bat oh. Miss Towers, I shall never in all
my life forget how kind you have been to
me."
And she stole up to Miss Towers and
kissed her withered cheeks so fondly that
the old lady had to wink hard to keep back
the tears.
"W'elir well, go along !" qaoth the old
ladv. "I don't know that I blame you, K
nor Maurice either. Young folks
will be young folks. " .
And she very sensibly went back to finish
gcttiug tea.
A young lady's first love kiss has the same
offeet on her as beinc electrified. It's a
great shock, but soon over.
A loek of hair froui a young woman's head
is ofua a key to a young man's heart.
