HEAVEN.
Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skie,
fttTood death's cloudy portal.
There i a land where beauty never dies,
And lore beiomes immortal.
A Isad whose light if never dimmed by (bid,
Whose fieldfare ever vernal,
Vbtrt nothing beautiful ean ever fade.
Bat bloom for, aye, eternal,
ffe may not know how aweet its balmy air.
How bright andTair its flowers;
We may not bear the songs that echo there.
Through tboae enchanted bowers.
Tbe eity'i shining towers we may not aee,
With our dim. earthly riaiona ;
For Death, the silent warden, keep! the key.
That ope' the gatea elyaian.
Fat sometimes, when adown the weatern sky,
Tbe fiery uwet lineers.
Its golden gatas swing inward noialeasly,
Inloeked by silent fingers.
And while they stand a moment half ajar,
Gleams from the inner glory.
Stream bright through the asure vault afar,
And halt reveal the story.
Oh land unknown ! Oh land of love divine '.
Father, all wise, eternal, (mine
Guide, guide these- wandering way-worn feet of
Into those pastures vernal.
WAS SHE EIGHT?
"No. It is quite impossible. I do not
lire you," said Sarah Gray, nervously twirl
ing the rings en her delicate fingers nd
compressing her pretty little mouth, with
a determined air.
'"ou do not," Henry Dana's effort
to appear unmoved wat a failure, and his
voice trembled as the words dropped slowly
fmm hia lips. "I had hoped for some
thing el.-e."
There was perfect silence in the brilliant
ly lighted parlor, broken only by the crack
le and stir of the brighter fire, which blaz
e l merrily in the grate, and threw its aoft
.ruddy light full on Sarah's sweet young
face, and down cast eyes. Never had she
i-eeincd lovelier to Henry as he fazed for a
ft w moments earnestly upon her. But
his tirieht dreams were suddenly ended ;
Lii airy castles fallen ; all was over.
"We will be licms friends,'' said Sarah
kindly, as he rose tnjro.
Ilecould only fuller out "Tbank you,"
and the door closed.
"No I do not lovehiui," thought Sarah,
as she sat uniting by the fire. I like him
very much, llo h;is been a delightful
friend, and lie will be ftVA ; but that is e-ini-u'h.
lie will nut care very much about
it."
"Oh, Sarah," cried Hattie Dnna, a day
or two after with a look of dismay, "What
do you think? Henry is going to Iowa?"
"tioina to Iowa? What for ?" ex
e'ximed Sarah.
"To lire. lie is goircr to manage Mr.
Brown's land matters, and practice law. as
he can, away off in that -dreary uncivilized
iv-inii. It is such a shame ? I cant think
what has put if into his head, f ie refused
the place once, you know."
'Hut when does he go?"' inquired
Sal all.
"To morrow evening."
Sarah wa confounded. This was an nn
linked for ui 'Vcuh nt. How sin. should miss
Henry's charming call! How dull Kociety
would seem without him ! She could hard
ly explain to herself the unhappincss which
II attic's wards had trnueht. Could it be
that she did love him ? Hut he would
f irely come to say "'(r iod bye." Perhaps
she h-td been too quick in deciding. They
tniiiht have an explanation. Of conrse he
wc.nl, 1 express his ivgrot, and it would all
come in so nat nrally and easily.
Vt hy did Sarah dress herself that night,
with that unusual care? Why did she
wear the little scarf he had -.so often adimr
e l ? Why did she put on her pretty blue
wit. his favorite color? Why was every
thinK about her so exquisitely fresh, and
delicate, and daintily chosen ? She did
tint own to herself why it t was, as she sat
a:one under the gaslight, with her gay cm
Iri.idery. listening for the familiar footstep
the quirk, light touch on the bell.

"He is miking it very late," thought
Sarah crowing a little nervous. "But of

Time flew on. It was comfortless to
live as a lodger. A simple-hearted nice
young girl came on from the East, bring
ing with her a breath of dear old New' Eng
land air, in her gentle, quiet ways. She
liked him. Henry could soon detect that.
And he liked her, that is, he did not flis
ike her, and she would do for hitn as well
as any one now. So Henry married.
And Sarah ? Her life moved quietly on.
She had beauty, and fortune and admirers
in abundance, but no one could be to her
what Henry seemed to her now. And still
she asked herself the question, shall I write
to him ?" and still she answered. "No, no,
no." Perhaps he would come back to her.
Perhaps he would write to her. There
lwere so many possibilities, and he loved her
so much. She knew tl a-now.
One afternoon as she sat with her crochet
ing, in the parlor. Hat tie Dana came in eagerly
her face bright with some great intelligence.
"We had a letter from Henry this morn
ing ! Guess what has happened ! lie is
married. ' c
Sarah's work fell from her hands.
"Married ! To whom ?"
"It is so curious. He only gives usher
name, Mary Cuyler, and says nothing a
bout her, that the is good, and kind, and
loves hiiu."
Sarah was strong in self control and no
look or movement betrayed the si it best ag
itation. But the struggle told fearfully
upon her delicate frame, and before a week
was ended tdie was prostrate with a ner
vous lever which left her a helpless invalid
for life, with a long, dreary heart-ache.
So to Henry there came a married life,
without on his side one particle of the zest,
and sparkle and sweetness which true love
brings; and to Sarah, lifelong suffering
and regret ; all for the sake of the womanly
pride which refused to acknowledge and re
tract its error.

A Frank Confession.
A farmer livirg in Oxford county, in thj
State of Maine, went (low a to a town not a
thousand miles from Portland, for the pur
pose of purchasing a yoko of oxen, a he
had been informed that there was a fine
stock for pale by one of the wealthy land
owners cf the place.
Arriving in the best farming district of
the Cumberland county town, our friend
met a man who was driving an ox team, of
whom he inquired :
"Can you inform me where Mr. Wall
lives ?"
"There's a num'ier of Walls live around
hers. Which oiio did you wish to find?"
returned the strangor, who was a' largely
built, keen-eyed man, habited in homespun,
hut Waring in his general appearance un
mistakable tokens of ease and comfort so
far as finances were concerned.
"I don't know what his christian name
is," pursued our friend ; "but he is the
owner of some very fine oxen."
"WcH," responded the stranger, "they
all own pretty fair oxen."
"But the one I wish to find has some
oxen for sale."
"As for that, sir. I gness they'd any of
'em sell if they could get their price."
"Biit,"excl:ii.ned tbe Oxford county man,
"the Mr. Wall I wish to find is quite
wealthy."
"Yes, will I reckon there ain't any ol
em very bad off," replied the other, with a
nod.
".My Mr. Wall," continued our friend,
hesitatingly, "has been represented ta mc
as being a very close fisted man, and not
scrupulously honest in all his transactions."
With a curious twinkle of the eye, and e
gentle pat upon the haunch of his near ox,
he said, "to t 'll you the truth, sir. I guess
they're a close fisted set all around, and I
never heard that honesty run in tho family.
Isn't there something else ?" '
"Yes, ; replied the searcher for oxen, des
perately, " they say he has been caught in
the very act of robbing his own brother's
chicken coop."
The stranger bowed and smiled.
"7M. Tm the man ! - Come with me
and I'll show you as fine a lot of cattle as
you can find in the State ; and if you know
what oxen are, there's no danger of get
ting cheated."
A countryman stopped at a telegraph win

called to his companion : "Say, Bill, just

Don't she know her biz, hey, Bill?"
A man came home drunk one cold night,

"You're sure you've got the key to the
little brown carpet bag, Elkaniah, and the
green umbrella, and the paper 'o ginger
cookies?"
"Yes, mother all right."
"And the bag of gilliflower apples ?
them'll be a real treat to your city cousitis.
There ain't many just such apple trees as
ourn!"
. "They're under the wagon seat, mother.
Good-bye!"
Elkaniah Carey bent hi? tall figure to
leave a cordial kiss on the brown, wrinkled
cheek of the old lady who stood there, her
cap-strings blowing back in the chill No
vember wind, and her neat white apron flut
tering like the sails of a frigate. And, six
footer though he was, there was a dewey
moisture in his eyes as he drove briskly a way
in the direction of the car depot. Elkaniah
had been looking forward to this visit for
weelrs ; yet when the moment of parting
came, the .big, warm-hearted fellow's heart
yearned tenderly toward the kind old moth
er, who was left behind I.
"It's kind o' hard to have Elkaniah go,"
thought Mrs. Carey, turning back to -her
cheerful fireside, as the rattle of the wheels
over the frozen road died away ; "but to be
sure he'll enjoy himself in York. Cousin
Jacob Payne's folks have been here a many
summer, and we never had no chance to re
turn their visits yet. I wonder if Frank's
as pretty as she used to be 1 That was the,
reason Elkaniah bought that new spotted
neck handkercher and the velvet vest 1" d
ded the old lady with an internal chuckel.
"lie always did have a kind o' tncakin' fau
cy for Frank Payne and no wonder."
And Mrs. Carey gazing dreamily into the
blazing fire of hickory logs, saw, not the red
dening embers, but the outlines of a dark
gipsy face, overarched by jetty brows, and
checks whose crimson bloom cauie and went
at every breath.
"And no wonder!" repeated Mrs. Carey
to herself.
It was quite dark when Elkaniah Carey
walked up the handsome, broad street on
which Jacob Payne's mansion was situated
the blind, pitchy darkness of a November
night, with white gusts of snow eddying a
cross the lines of light that streamed from
innumerable gas lamps, and a melancholly
rwind murmuring softly round the brick-and-mortar
angles.
"Nine o'clock," said Elkaniah, consulting
his huge silver watch, under one of the bril
liant gas jets; "it's very lute. I hope they
won't all be gone to bed. They'll be glad
to see me anyway, and that's something
when a man has travelled all day !"
But Elkaniah Carey might have spared
his anxiety on the subject of the Payne fam
ily having "gone to bed." The house was
in a blaze of light, the street was full of car
riages, between the translucitit purple silk
cm tains Elkaniah's astonished eyes caught
here and there the flash of prism loaded
chandeliers and the glow - of hot-house
flowers.
"I'm in luck," thought hone-t Elkaniah,
with a proud consciousness of the spotted
neckerchief and the wine-colored velvet vest.
"They've got company."
And Elkaniah, confidert of a welcome,
boldly ascended the steps and rang the door
bell.
"I've come to see cousin Payne's folks, '
he said to the sable servitor; "'nil admira
rf system, bowed low and flung the doors
wide open.
Frank Payne stood in the midst of her
guests, like a little oriental .queen, her float
ing dress of diaphanous pink crcps giving
additional glow to her dark rich beauty, and
long frails of odorous jessamine drooping a
mong her jet black curls, while the velvet
bloom upon her cheek, seemed to gjow and
deepen like the rich color in the heart of a
newly blossomed rose. But the curve of her
lips scarcely betokened pleasure, and her
eyes deep, dusky stars of light sparkled
ominously as she withdrew her slight glov
ed hand from Elkaniah's horny grasp.
"Don't sir! You hurt me."
.While' Mrs. St. Sandalle giggled behind
her fan and whisperad to Frank :
"My dear, what relic of the dark ages
have you here ?"
"Frank, areu't yon glad to see me?" fal
tered Elkaniah, the brown of his complexion
becoming suffused with hot indignant red.
The surprise anl mortification which had
cost Frank Payne a momentary loss of her
presence of mind subsided into cold, conven
tional politeness. .. .
"I am very happy, I am sure, to see you
here to-night, Mr. Carey ; but it is such an
unexpected pleasure I"
"Mr. Carey 1" The words fell on Elkani
uh's ear like ice. Was this the loving little
fairy who had . set among the fragrant hay
piles on the old barn floor with him? who
had threaded the rustling midsummer woods
by his side ? Elkaniah telt strange and be
wildered, as if the world had suddenly begun
to torn round the wrong way ; and the keen
est pang he had ever known, shot like a
barbed arrow through his heart, as Frank
tnrned to a perfumed and scented exquisite
Mr. Gustavus St. Sandalle, and whispered
in his ear, with a burst of musical laughter.
"She's making fun of mc," thought El
kadiah doloriously. "Well, I s' pose I am
odd and outlandish and strange. I'm not
dressed like these fine folks, and my ways
aren't like their ways, but I dul think Cous
in Payne's folks would have been glad to
see me! And she never asked a word about
mother!"
Mr. Payne bowed a stiff little bow aa El
kanian awkwardly backed toward him, and
"hoped they would see a great deal of him
during his stay in the city." Elkaniah tho't
of the bag of blood-red apples that he had
Jeft at the depot, as his eye fell on the glit
tering sugar temples and pink champagne
and white hot-houge grapes that loaded the
long tables of the dining-room.
"I'm as much out of place here as moth
er's apples would be," he thought, as he
went sorrowfully to bid Frank good night.
But she was waltzing with Mr. Gustavus
St. Sandalle, and had only a brief, chilling
nod for her cousin Elkaniah.
It is no irapugnement to Elkaniah Carey's
manhood to say that the tears were on his
bronzed cheek ashe went slowly down the
street. He had looked forward to this visit
for months ; he had treasured up Frank
Payne in his heart as a sort of fair, faultless
angel ; and now the illusion was over.
So Elkaniah Carey went back to his New
England farm a wiser and sadder man !
Two years went by ; the big chenry tree by
the well, rained its white blossoms down in
to the crystal depths, and the gilliflower ap
ples hung like red jewels among orchard
bows, and Elkaniah Carey's farm prospered
rarely. While, in the city, the great wheel
of fortune, in iu ceaseless revolutions, caught
Frank Payne from her place of luxury and
pleasure, and set her down an orphan and
poor at the very door of the social ladder.
'."Nobody could have foresoen the fall in
those railway shares,"- Mr. Payne had said
with wild, haggard eyes ; and that night the
appnpletic stroke that came hurried him out
of the world ; aud frank was left at twenty,
all alone.
"Tell me what to do,.Mrs. St. Sandalle !"
she appealed pilcously, looking like some
lovely marble statue in her deep black
robes, as she threw herself down on the little
footstool at Mrs. St. Sandallu's patrician
feet.
"Don't be so theatrical Frank," said Mrs.
St Sandalle, taking up her gold stoppered
vinaigrette ; "and do not speak so loud
your voice irives me the headache. Do?
Why, there are plenty of things to do,I sup
pose." Frank's lips quivered. How many times
Mrs. St. Sandalle had kissed her, eirrcssed
her hands, and told her "she loved her like
her own daughter," and "she couldn't ex
ist if she didn't see her dear little Frauk at
least once a day." Frank had somehow
thought that she could not be quite alone as
long as Mrs. St. Sandalle was near her.
"Yes," said Frank, "but
"Of course' you enn't expect to live on
charity," said Mrs. St. Sandalle, indifferent
ly. "It's a great pity your education has
been so superficial ; &nd you're too near
sighted to do fine embroidery, I suppose.
But there is old Mrs. Sooldall wants a win
oanion fifty dollars a year and your board.
To be sure ehe's deaf and blind, and crosser
than Xantippe, but you can't have every
thing at once."
Frank's tears dropped slowly down upon
the crape folds of her dress.
"Do you think "
"I don't think anythiug about it, I'm
sure," said Mrs St. Sandalle, pettishly. "7
can't take any responsibility. There's Gus
tavus now ; the opera matinee comes off. at
one, and I'm sorry 1 can't devote more time
to you." ,
Mrs. St. Sandalle swept down stairs in a
flatter of moire antique, and thread-lace dra
pery, while Frank crouched in the middle of
the great drawing room, more utterly deso
late and alone than if she had been in the
desert of Sahara.
So Frank Payne, the whilom belle of the
gay world of fashion, went to be old Mrs.
Scoldall's companion, at fifty dollars per an
num and her board.
For three dreary weeks she endured the
acrimonious old lady's tongue and temper,
and ate the bitter bread of dependence, and
then came a crisis 1
"A headache I" screamed Mrs. Scoldall ; i
"Miss Payne has got a headache? How
dare my companion presume to absent her
self from my table on that plea? I don't
pay money for lazy hussies to lie in bed and
complain of headaches! Here's Miss Payne's
wages, Betsey, and you may tell her to take
herself off to morrow morning as early as
she pleases !"
"It's a shame. Miss," said sympathetic
Betsey, deluging Frank's pretty curls with
the cologne ehe had purloined from the old
lady's dressing table. "It's a burnin'
shame, so it is I"
"Never mind, Betsey," said Frank, sit
ting up in bed with a bewildered air, and
pressing both hands to her throbbine tem
ples. ' "I could n"t have et dured it any
longer ; I am glad to go away. I believe
I have got money enough to take me into
the country, and and I think they'll be
kind to me there."
. And as she lay back and shut her eyes the
fragrant old bam came back to her with
dusky lines of light slanting down from the
crevices between the boards, and odor of
dried clover, with two figures sitting on the
floor her's and one other. And she re
membered the river under the hill, with
deep delicious pools, tangled with water
lilies, and overshadowed with solemn beech
boughs. "If there is no other alternative left to
me, I can at least die," said Frank, mentally.
"Sure, Miss you ain't fit to travel," said
Betsey, the next morning, as she straighten
ed the folds of the heavy crape veil, and
tried to brash the dust off the mourning
dress, whose shabbiness too plainly betoken
ed the poverty of its young wearer. "Your
hands are as hot as burnin' coals, and you
trembta like a leaf. You'd better wait un
til to-morrow, Miss Frank, dear."
"I cannot, Betsey," said Frank, in a trem
ulous voice. ,., "You have been very kind to
me. Betsey ; but I have nothing to give
you."
Betsey burst into a disclaiming howl.
"You're as welcome' a flowers in May,
Miss and be the same token, the ould la
dy's ravin; tearin', distractin', mad down
stairs." :
Mrs. Scoldall, however, cfeaf as the pro
verbial" adder, was blessedly unconscious of
the imprecations Bridget heaped upon
her, all day long, whenever she thought of
the pale young "companion" who had been
turned out to the mercy of the worhl.
The birds were making a perfect carnival
of songs in the overhanging branches, where
the cherries were turning to crimson trans
lucent jewels, in the golden July sunshine,
the long shadows crept noiselessly along the
smooth grass of the door yard, and Mrs.
Carey, coming to the door to scent the fra
grance of the velvety cluster of sweet-wil
liams, knew by their slanting angles that
it was nearly six o'clock.
' "Elkaniah will be home' from the hay
field pretty soon," said Mrs. Carey 6oftly
to herself, "and "Why mercy upon us, who
is this?"-
The door yard gate had been opened and
a slender little figure all in black hurried
in, and stood pale and trembling before
Mrs. Gary like a phantom.
"Frank Payne ! Bless us and save us?
surely this isn't you !"
' "Oh, Mrs. Carey, don't send ine away!"
panted poor Frank. "I have no friend in
all tbe world but you. I don't deserve that
you should be kind to me, but -but papa
is dead, and I am all alone !"
And the poor wearied out creature sank
speechless and all but fainting, on the
white kitchen floor at Mr9. Carey's feet.
"Send you away 1" repeated the kind
woman ; "why do you s' pose 1 would send
you away, child, and you fit to swoon ?
There sit up, and drink this glass o' water,
and you'll feel better, presently."
When Elkaniah came home from the
harvest-field, with his brown eyes sparkling
cheerily under the shadow of his broad
briiumed straw hat, he found Frank nest
led away in the huge easy chair, with the
unnatural fire of fever in her checks, and a
strange quiver in her voiee.
A few words sufficed to explain to hitn
the exact position of affairs, and he took
her small hands in his with a pressure that
speke volumes.
"Frank, I'm glad to see you," he said
tenderly. "And don't fret about a home,
because as long as thisold roof stands there's
a shelter tor you under it, Cm Frank."
She burst into tears. -
"Oh, Elkaniah ! I did not treat you so,
when when "
"Nevermind," said Elkaniah cheerily.
"Lee by gones be by gones, and we'll hegin
the world anew. That's right, mother a
cup o' tea '11 do her all the good in the
world." "
During the long weary 'ever that follow
ed naturally upon the excitement, over
straind, and fatigue, the poorgi.l had un
dergone, no mother could have been more
tender and watchful than Mrs. Carey.and no
brother could have been more thoughtful
than Elkaniah.
.It was a brilliant afternoon in Septem
ber when after the tedious convalescence,
Frank Payne first came out upon the clematis-covered
porch with a crimson shawl
around ber shoulders, and her lovely black
curls brushed away from her pallid tem
ples. "I am so glad you are here, Elkaniah,"
said bhe. "I wanted to ask you about the
little district school at the 'Corner.' Don't
you think I had better accept the position
of teacher?"
"What for?" demanded Elkaniah. who
was mercilessly pulling down the twigs of
clematis.
"Why, to earn my daily bread, to be
sure. . Ouly thinkl sixteen dollars a
month?"
"Frank," said Elkaniah, "do you want
to go away and leave us?"
"No certainly not; "but you know I
must earn my living, Elkaniah."
He came close up to her and took both
her hands in his.
"There is no necessity for you to earn
your living, Frauk, if you let me earn it
for you. I would like to keep you here al
ways Frank, as my dear little wife. Do
you think you could fancy a rough farmer
like me 1"
The tears came into her eyes as she look
ed piteously up into his face.
"I am not worthy of you Elkaniah."
"That's uot the question. Do you love
me?"
"I love you yes and not that alone,"
she said, kindling up into enthusiasm that
brought the old beautiful roses back to her
cheek ; "I honor and respect you oh ? so
much ?" -
"More than Mr. Gustavus St. Sandalle?"
"More than all the world."
Elkaniah Carey and Frank Payne were
married at Christinas, and the district
school trustees had to look out for another
teacher. -
"Madam," said old Brown, to his board
ing house keeper, "iu primitive countries
beef is often a legal-tender, but, madam,"
said he, emphatically, thrusting his fork in
to the steak, "all the laws in Christendom
couldn't make this beef tender." He look
ed ail around the room for encouragement,
and found that all the boarders who ate the
beef held their jaws.

extent of half a column, and stated the
next week that it was a slip of the pen.
