To Patrick n, Jr. of Paris.
Young Patrick Meehtahou„ I greet you, •
From Erin's green isle o'er the MS, •
Good fortune surround sad be with you,
My countrymen wisk you, with
tae—
For Au sake who gays to you proudly
His own old Hibernian mune,
And who now makes all Praises shout it loudly,
And Europe re-echo the saute.
But, ' , wow Pat, I're got an an,
That o/d Pat, whose brilliant resora
Shot up in the dreadful Crimes.
As Russia's black eagle went down—
Whose brows are, by Fame in her bounty,
With Italy's laurels new delight—
Somewhat nearer to Monaghan couaty,
Might gather a garland as bright.
LII.
A hag that had waved o'er the rattle
And thunder of tvonet and gun,
He won from his fees in the battle,
Abd sent to his wife sad his son.
And she, says the newspaper story.
Received the bright treasure with, joy,
And draped with that curtain of glory
The cradle where slumbered her boy.
I •know where a color is hanging
And floating about In the air,
I wish, Pat, your father came banging
Right up to—right well be knows where.
Full soon would he kindly preset% a
New square of bright bunting to do
As a shawl for the Duchess Magenta,
Or pretty bag trousers for you.
Be sure, Pat, you've dells little cousins
In Erin's green fields, by the sears;
You'ce stout, strapping ;moles b ilammts,
And friends like the sands on tie shore,
Who'd rush toter& the Marshal to meet him,
To welcome and bleu his advance,
And be only will pleased to see with him
His whole gallant legion from Prune.

"Just as much," he replied, pressing her
close to his side ; . , d he could hardly for

Dr. Goldstone never permitted Rosalind
to make sny visits, except to call in corn
piny withliniaelf upon his few associates,
and some of the children whose society he
thought not objectionable. But Rosalind
had so many sources of amusement at
home, that she seldom thought of going
abroad. Her father only lived to study
her happiness ; while he thought that he
was training herin the very way of wisdom,
he was in reality the slave of her capricee—
tutoty—fer neither of them dream
ed that such was the case. She was so
generous, so affectionate, so yielding by
nature, that it would have been difficult
to spoil her. But he did his best.
Above all things, he guarded her against
mirrors—as if she was to go through hie
without meeting any, and as if a distor
tion was better than nature's and heaven's
beautiful truth.
Ever since her adventure in the forest.,
Rosalind had two friends whom she went
to see more frequently and had a far great
er degree of intimacy with, than any one
else knew of. She did not conceal her vis
its from her father for fear of his displeas
tire, but simply because Mrs. Smith begged
her not to make her a subject of conversa
tion or ever bring any of her family to gee
her. She was still too much of a child to
question the wherefore of this : all she
cared for was, that she thought Ralph one
of the nicest of boys, and loved to teach
him many things in which she was better
educated than he, and his mother the most
beautiful and the beat woman that ever
lived. She had never known the gentle
fascinations of a mother, and so was doubly
susceptible to the feminine influences of
this lonely friend.
Yrs. Smith and Rosalind used to sing
ftether. Rosa found the former an ex
cellent teacher, capable of correcting all
her defects in style, and as both had fine
Voices, they took great delight in their
music. Some of the young girl's happiest
haws were spent in the little brown cot
tage. She brought many presents to Ralph;
but these were not what won his boyish
heart. Her smile, her arch laugh, her pa
tinas in teaching him, her love of frolic,
muds her a "seat girl" in his eyes.
Thus this swoon pared away, and others

As she whispered this delig,hte=n

which smiled hack upon hex, a sudden Saw
of wind stole gurgling scram the lake and
struck under the liicht skit which was al
ready too far from its perpendicular, and
upset it—so quickly that Rosalind had not
even time to catch at its side before she
went down to the embrace of the faithless
image which had wiled her into such
danger.
Oh ! if she could have taken warning from
this disastrous occurrence, never again to
be beguiled by her own charms !
But perhaps it was too late to take a
lesson from anything again in this life—
for she went dorvh--end arose--mt
vainly at the impalpable air,and sank
In the meantime, while she had been so
engaged with her discovery, a boat in the
dtrtance had been raptdly approaching
nearer. The cry which she gave when she*
found herself in the water, caused it to re
double its speed; and by the earnest exer
tions of the occupant, it reached the apt
of danger just in time for him to seise those
streaming curls before the waves closed
over their brif,titness for the last time.
She was insensible when Frederick
Percival lifted her into his boat. He did
not need to be told who the lovely girl was
who lay like a statue in his arms. He had
long worshiped at a distance the star whose •
culmination was' watched so jealously by
that old astrologer, her father. This was
an opportunity which the fates had evi
dently thrown in his way—tliat is, if it
were not too late to profit by it ; which
might be, for she neither breathed nor
stirred. Ile was an athletic youth, and he
rowed with all hisstrength. The moment
he reached the shore, he snatched up his
burden, whose weight he hardly felt, so ex•
cited was he, and ran up the elm-bordered
walk to the portico. where the Doctor sat
at his leisure, reading a learned treatise
upon elictricity.
This was a time for Dr. Goldstbne to be
thankful for his great medical skill. A
less experienced person might never have
brought the breath back to those youthful
lips. He did it, calmly, suooessfully.-=
Then, when restoration was sure; he began
to tremble, and the voice war broken in
which he expressed his thanks to her pre
server.
of course Frederick Percival called the
next day, to inquire after the health of
Miss Goldstone, and of course she was not
refused permission to thank him personally
for the services rendered.
And so, before her father had dreamed of
her being anything but a little girl, Rosalind
had a lover.

sprang clear out of his arm-chair in aston
ishment when the negotiation was first
opened. Rosalind—his little Roes--that
mere child—in love! wanting to be en
gagetl! thinking of marriage at some future
day ! The idea had never occurred to him.
The tears which sparkled like dew'amid
the roses of her cheeks, soon convinced
bun of the reality of what was pawing.--
The sincere tone, the manly look, and the
intense solicitude of the youth, were in his
favor. The Doctor told them he would
give them an answer the next day; and
he spent the most of the next twenty-tour
hours in pondering the matter.
He knew the young man and his family.
They were poor, intellectual and high
principled ;and Frederick did honor to
Lis family. He was a student, of un
impetiehnt.le character, talents, and fair
promise. Jr Rosalind must ever marry,
her father could not have been better
suited, His benevolence was rejoiced at
the thought of conferring fortune upon one
so well deserving of it. He already began
to form plans of the pleasure he Should
have in imparting some of his own beet
stores of knowledge to the eager and gifted
mind of his—son Then Frederick was of
that cordial, frank, and affectionate tem
perament which makes one the beloved
inmate of a family. By the time that Ros
alind was no longer a girl, whoai he was to
take every day upon his knee, he should'
be able, perhaps, to give his grandchildren
that favored seat. It Rosa was so willful
that .lie must needs grow.up and be a Wo
man, there was nothing tor it, but that she
must have some little girls to take her
place.
The next day the young couple were
made happy by his consent to their betmtia
al, trammeled byno conditions, except that
they must wait a year for the wedding, and
that they must always share his home with
him.

with different fashioned illumination. The

faces beaming with the ha which
was too real to be repressed . p Rosalind was
a miracle of loveliness. It was no wonder
that her poet husband felt a lesion and
joy deeper than Suidly stirs the heart,
even of a newlrwedded man. ere were
other gleams thes lds, that d‘pd hardly
remove themselves from her beentiful face,
glowing with new emotions, the lonii lashes
tp conceal the humid brilliancy of
striving
eyes.
She was elegantly dressed. The mist
that catches the moonbeam could hardly
be more etherial than the filmy lace that
floated about her person, over an under
robe of siliery satin, ggarvnmg a still more del
icate bloom and roondnese to her arms ant
throat.
The fastening of her veil was not the
usual wreath of orange blossoms, but a
-wreath of jewels worth half a kingdom, set
in the most graceftd manner, in imitation
of the real flowers. She had found this
wreath upon her toilet when she went to
dress, with a note from her father, saying
that it was his gift, and desiring her to wear
it upon that particular evening.
"Rips does not know that it is not in
good- tase for a bride to wear such diamonds
as these with her weddidg dress," was the
first tohught of the yotiog girl ; but the
next moment the remembrance of the af
fection which had prompted the splendid
gift, drove out regret, and she placed them
in her hair, regardless of other considera
tions.
The wreath was exquisitely designed, and
when she saw it in contrast with herhair,
the jewels faking out eovertlyifrom clouds
of delicate lace, she was delighted with the
effect.
"No one dares to criticise' it—it is too
magnificent to be found fault with," she
said to her attendants, and as this com let
ed her array she turned away ' .
Neither she nor any other person sus
pected that the whole superb garland, from
the tiniest covering of the gold setting to
the crown diamond of the whole, was the
work of her father's loving hands.
From the moment that she met the eyes
of her lover, where he waited for her in the
tritiblingitand, routine toirlOV . o
the dress which had been the ob ject of so
much solicitude. She did not think of it
again during the evening. Her heart and
soul were with her lover—her husband •
the emotion she felt w‘s too everwhelm
ing for those frail embankments of silks
imd lace, vanity and frippery, to withstand
—they were swept into oblivion. and for
that evening at host, she was unconscious
of her own beauty, and its effect upon be
holders.
So it seems that she was not quite spoiled
by the flattery, dress, and tti which
bad so suddenly 'beset her. sway
with it she had boen,
_hut not out of her
depth. Her pretty caprices, her willful
ness, were all on the outside—her heart was
right.
The grace, tastefulness, love of Empry,
which are part of the feminine nature (and
should be, since the women use all thew)
to make themselves agreeable to the coars
er sex) having been kept back for want of
sunshine, had burst forth rapidly, but were
not destined to extrairagant growth. The
child who was reared according to a system
of philosophy was almost a model child, af
ter dl—but the risk was great, and we would
not advise others to run it. The seed hap !
to fall upon good soil, and repaid a
hundred fold.
The festivities of the evening were draw
to a close. Rosalind was about withdraw
ing to the chamber which had been con
verted into a fairy bower of grace and luiury
by liberal and affectionate hands, when her
father approached her and drew her a little
apart. He looked pale and troubled.
"You know the Mrs. Smith who lives
down in the glen ?"
"Very well, indeed, papa. She has been
in declining health fora long time,—l have
neglected her of have been so taken
up with my own affairs."
"She is dying, and has sent, for you and
me to attend her for a few moments only."
"We will go, dear, father, by all means."
"But what do you think she can want of
s, Rosalind ?" Some doubt evidently dis
turbed him.
"I do not know, lam sure. But let us
hasten. I love her very much, and lam
sq sorry I have neglected Perhaps i mi t a •

bier much of your benevolence, paps, and
she has a. son who will be left without a

Mr. Chaldstos• drew a sigh of rebel at the
variation ; and while Rosalind stole sway
to throw a mantle over her bridal finery, he
whispered - their errand to Frederick, and
beds him say nothing of their absence, as
they should speedily
_return.

knows how miserable I was, every moment
after I made the promise, until the mo
ment came for its oonsummation. The
voice of conscience was never for a moment
stilled. He told me I might take my little
girl along, but I would not do that, al
though my heart was not so utterly per
verted but that it cried out for her.
"I wrote the note and left it. At the
midnight hour I stole forth where the car
rier awaited us. He sprang forth. I had

This plated within, and turning, gave
me his hand to assist me in, At that mo
ment the veil which vanity had bound
around my spiritual sight was rent away.
The enormity of my sin rose up before me.
With a low cry, I flung away his hand dart
ed within the gate. It swung together with
a dash—and I was free. I hurried up thu
walk through the' lower and upper hall ; I
came to the door of my room There I
stood still and prayed—prayed God to for
give me my oftnce, and vowed if my fault
was still undetected, never should another
thought of evil enter my heart. In agony
of soul I prayed that you might be still in
your laboratory—that I might have time
to destroy the note and calm my agitated
nerves. I opened the doorand looked with
in. You sat at the table ; the note lay at
your feet. The expression upon your face
awed and terrified me ; while never before
did I so resins) that I loved only you, and
how worthy you were of all that a woman
has to bestow. I yearned to go, in and
throw myself sobbing at your feet; which I
felt unworth to kiss. I did not dare to.—
I had sealed my own doom. If I had come
so near to erring once, bow could you ever
be certain of my future truth and affectiou.
I had made you wretched and I could nut
undo the work. If your own character had
not been so lofty, I might, in my anguish,
have ventured. But I did not—and I nev
er since have dared.
"For many moments I gazed upon you,
and then I turned away, the most forlorn
woman that was ever banished from hap
piness. AU my pride and frivolity wore
gone forever. Only that which was best
and most earnest in my nature remained.
Thewife, of such a man should never dt
grade herself further. I went away into
poverty and friendlessness. For three or
four weeks I took board at an obecurß
lodging-house. Even in that retreat I heard
of my own disgrace, and turned pale at the
jeers of the brutal crowd who jested with
my name without knowing who it was that
heard them.

Ralph ; he is your son—named after you.
When I had somewhat regained my health,
I began, as I said, teaching music. I gave
myself out as a widow • and the sadness of
my demeanor corrobo rated the impression.
I made a tolerable living. In all this time,
I never lost sight of you. I knew of your
voyage, to South America, of your return
and settlement here, and the course of life
which you pursued. Finally, my heart
plwided so for an occasional stolen look—
to be near you—to know of your daily life
