And many a tone from tho better land,
If the Onerulous heart would =kelt!
To MO gunny iool that I• full of hope,
And whoseheantiful trust ne'et falleth,
The grave is green, and the flowers bright,
though the wintry storms preralletb.
Better to hopo, though the el ciinti hang low,
And keep the eyes etlll lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will limn peep through,
Whoa the ominous clouds are lifted I ,
There was never a night without a day,
Or an ovenlug without a morning;
And the darkest hour, as the pr,iverb goes,
• Is the hour before the donning.
There la a many,tgtm in the path of life,
Which wo ;659 in our idle pleauire,,
That to richer far than the Jeweled crown,
Or the miter's hoarded treasure ;
It may bo the loco of a little child,
Or a mother's prayer to heaven,
Or only - Mbeggar's grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better tp weave in the Iva of Ilfir
A bright Pllli golden flßlogl
And to Clod'l 4 ,rill with a ready heart,
And hands that aro swift and willing,
Than to snap the minute delicate threads,
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame !leaven for the tangled coda,
Andslt, and grieve, and wonder.
HANNAIT" FAN.TITORY S SWEET-
HEART.
flay years ago, and yet Pre jurt to
close my eyes and there comes 'Willie
over the bill, as I used.to see him corn:
ing as I sat.waiting for lhim at the farm
house window. Sometimes on .
bacli; but, often afoot, for the llall wa'S
not very far away. Nowadays you see
the boys and men alike dressed in black,
or with (maybe) a bit of grey or brown:
It was n't so then. Will wore a bind
coat 'with gilt buttons, and knee - breech
es,''and silk stockings, and buckles in his
shoes, and a blue vest; and on-gala-days
claret colored and white silk, handsome
in one's-eyes,. and wonderfully so in_My
nyea ; for I was a Quakeress, half Meth
odist, and never wore anything gay my-
Self.
Tall? , Surely he was tall. Never a
aslet-under-six-feet,-and-broader-in-the
shoulders-than any of his age. Straight
featured l iro4, and juSt twenty-five.
Will's fatar was rich Squire Haslet,
and they lived at the Hall, a grand house,
we thought it, for we were plain people,
Father a Quaker, mother a Methodist,
and be kept to the plain dress and lan
guage all his life. hitliose days there
never was a Methodist who wore gay col
ors or new fashions, and mother took the
poke honnoAs andf grave dresses natur
ally..
-It Was-all so different at
The curtains, the carpets, and Mrs. Has
let's caps . .alt aglow with color. And on
Sunday a feast day, with more work:for
the servants than any other ; and guests
down from the city, and the piano—such
a wonder tb all—and the harp a-playing.
They went to church if they chose, and
sat in the Squire's high hacked pew with
curtains. Mother used to say—she was
a bit prejudiced—that with , the organ,
and the altar cloths, and fonts, and carv

he had ever saw. I was pleased with the

I could; though it sounded' like a eons-
Anent, I could notunderstanil the word
" antique" but old, so I asked Willie and
said he :•

.So mother let me, and I went. There
in the drawing room was a stand, and on
it a marble woman—that is, the face and

mouth after that deY:: . Willig's mother
died. She dropped from her chair at the
dinner table, and when the servants had
sped across the country-to the doctOr and
back she was dead... I wept as I stood by
the grave and saw Willie ao sad; dressed
for the first time in his mourning, and
had more reason to weep than I knew ;
for Sabrina Haslet was mistress of the
Hall, and all along in secret she had set
her heart against her brother's match
with me.
As soon / is she could, she began to fill
the house with young company—young
ladies nearly all, handsome, fashionable,•
dressed in finery and jewels ; and Willie.
must play the part of host - and welcome
them. Ho told me so, though.l'd rather
be with my Quaker beauty by die - river
side, he said. " But Sabrina wants com
pany to keep up her spirits."
I haka guess that she hoped to' wean
him-fromme,,but I 'never- told. him- so.-
Truo love needs no chain, I thought, and
for a while la was my,Willie all the same
as before. But atlast there cameio. the
Hall the - handsomest lady of. all—Miss
Dorcas Qnaley. She staid long,, long
while ; and there -was dancing in the
evening and riding through the day,l and
she rode beautifully, and always with,
Willie. I thought 'to myself over and
and over again, " does she 'mow that it
is my love she rides away with as through
he svfther's !"
Then the jealousy began.to grow up in
my heart, and I was not the same girl at
times. Yet all the While he told me that
:it was fashion an tour esy, ie ep
me quiet while he was by. He would
have bad me at the Hp often also, but
Sabrina sent no message. She was the
mistress of the house, and I -would not
go there without her invitation. So I
pined and grew thin and mother thought
Me ill. So I was of heart, and not of
body. And when she talked of my wed
ding day, my blood would, boil, and' I'd
say between lily clenched teeth :
" No-4'llmarry no one who weds me
because: he's bound to me, and .from
love !"
One night I stood by the gricden pal
ings and lookdd at the stars, and as I
stood there wiroman in a hood came over
the fields and stood beside me. It was
Miss' Sabrina, Haslet. I started as if I
had been shot; Ind she took tinter titood,
for was warn, and looked liar lat me.
" What kind of a girl are yon?" said
she. _
."-What kind of one are you?" said Ia
civil olio, to speak ETiat wny.'r
Said she. "What I want to know is
- yOn 'perion ;to - hold - thy
brother to a foolish bond, or Whit him
free'when he begins to struggle. You
caught him' cleverly ; 'and though his
heart has slipped through your fingers
yoti'. may be mistress of the Hall yet I
suppose. Will you 7"
"With his heart gone from me I"' I
cried. "Has ho told yon it is gone ?"
"He'd die first," said Miss Sabrina.
"His honor would not let him break
troth with you. 139.tte,see how ho loves
Miss Dorcas Oakley, and she is a match
for him in rank and wealth and beauty.
Peopleare talking of it and pitying him."
" They shall pity him no more," I said
—"What is the Hall to me'? It was buy
Willie's love I earl for. Tell Lim be Is
free." . -
"You most tell - hfin yourself," she
said. If you care to see himiiapyy open
his cage ;"and she tied on her hood and
sped away.
That night there wont a,note to. Willie :

This I wrote with a heart torn and rent
as never flesh could be ; and it was sent ;
and though ho came to the farm I would
not see him ; and all wasoier between us.
I waited only to hear that he was' be
trothed to Miss Dorcas Oakley. Instead
of that, I heard a week after, that he had
left the country. Where ho had gone'
and why, no ono 'knew. When I felt
sure that 'Miss Dorcas Oakley could be
nothing to him, or that at-least they-were
not to-be married, My heart smote me a
little, and I viondored .wother I should
not have put my pride down a bit, and
have heard him speak for hiniself. • '
Mis Sabrina Haslet did not marry.
The wedding was put off first by her
mother's death, and then by her father's,
six months after ; and tDen folk said there
was a quarrel. But be it as it may, -lie

And with those words there came a
look Into her eyes I never Shall forgot ;.
and in the dawn of that winter day she
lay on my arm dead. .
On Suhday they buried her. -The
graveyard was full. Every one came to
see Squire Haslet's •daughter laid in the
great vault. I stood near it.' But though

in my ear, and the coffin W.:18 before my

to the past—and I saw Will as I used to

dead woman, and murmuring, God

I came back to the present with a
start and a thrill. They were closing

speaking to him in a whisper, stood a

In ono of his recent lectures Prof. Sill
man alluded to the discovery of an elan- I
mous lizzard, 80 feet in length. From
this the Professor inferred, as no living
specimen_ ot_suclL._magnitude_ha.s been
found; that the species that it represents
has become degenerated.. The verity of
his riropositionlin_endeayores l to enforce
by allusion to the well known - existence
of giants inolden times. The following
is the list upon which this singular hy
pothesis is based: - , "
r y
The giant exhibited at in 1830,
the Professor says measured nearly 18
feet. Gorapius saw a girl that, was ten
feet high. The giant Galori, brought
from Arabia to Rome, under Claudius
.Cesar, was • ton feet high. - The giant
ess Ferregness, slain by Orlando nephew
of Charlemange, was 28 feet high. ln
1814, near Bt. Germaine, was found the
tomb orthe giant Isorant, who was not
less than thirty feet high. ImlBso, near
Rouen, ,was found a skeleton, whose
skull:held , a bushel of ceren,i , unflocKkyal.
19 feet high. The giant Bocat was 22
feet high ; his,thigh_bones were found in
1705, near the river Moderi. In 1823,
near the castle of Daughine; a tomb was
found 30 feet long, 10 wide, and eight
high, on which was Tout 'on gray. stones
these words.: - ."Kintelochtis Rex." The
skeleton was.found entire, 25Efeet long ;
ten acres across the . shoulders, and five
feet from the breast bone to tho'hack.
We have no doubt there wore giants in
those days. And'the past was perhaps
more prolific in producing them than tide
present. But the history of giants du
