" rtir thin' the elintithers of the peneeful ski..
Where the high fount of Summer's brightness lies !"
The Ppritig's gas premise melted intn thee,
Fair Mummer! and thy gentle reign is here
The emerald robes are on each !miry tree;
In the blue sky thy voice is deliend elem.;
And the free brooks hove songs to bless thy reign,
They loop in music midst thy bright domain.
The gales. that wander from the clouded west,
Are burdened with the breath of countless fields;
They term with incense from the green earth's
brewit,
That up to genven its grateful odor yields;
Bearing sweet hymns of praise from many a bird,
By nature's aspect into rapture atirr'd.
fn such a fcr no the sun illuminated heart

When through its ham tho morning-glories dart,
And forest anthems in his heaving stVell—
And, like the heaving of the voiceful sea,
His 'nutting bosom Ishors to he free.
Thus, gazing on thy void end sapphire sky,
0, Sommer! in my inmost soul arise
Uplifted thoughts to which the woods reply,

I long for eagle's plumes to flee away.
I long to east tide cumbrous cloy aside,

To the sad bosom, torn with care and pride;
I would soar upward, on unfettered wing;
Far through the chambers of 'the peaceful skies,

Hear it sweep, clear and deep, ever along:

Heavenward their holy steps, heavenward they pest!
Green he their mossy groves! ours be their fame,
While their sang peals along, ever the same :

II 2' ELL.N ♦xutor,
'Look—there goes George Merin, striding along
like a pun of stilts; his arms, as usual, swinging op
and down. as tilose of a windmill,' said Kate Ed
monds, no she oat at the window with her eldest.
Agnes was die Very oppo,im of the witty Kate,
and she could scarcely comprehend how her sham.
could !speak thus; for she knew Kato loved George
Alcott if ehe loved any one. lint Kate hod a rep
utation fur wit, which she had won hy saying ear
castle things of her acquaintance; end, moreover
she enjoyed a secret pleasure in cone/tiling her real
opinions. To use her own phrase: •it was hive to
quiz folks!'
, How can you speak thus, Kate?' said her sister.
'Mr. Aleut!, though tell, is not ungraceful, and, I'm
afraid, if,ynu were to be criticised as emerely as
you crititise him, even your immaculate self would
suffer.' ra
'He dare not fry itraaid Nate, pouting her pretty
'mulct not,' roplied Agnes with emphasis.
'Really, dear Kate, you do yourself injustice, he the
sarcastic things you say: people think you much
worse tempered than you aro-.'
'And what if they.do? I'm sure I auk perfectly
indifferent to their opinion.'
, So you may Do now, hut you'll find by and bye,
that these opinions have value.—Beside you do not
moiety mean what you say. I know that George
Alcott is your favorite—nay! y. cannot deceive
mo—you need not pout and shake your hand—'
'Wall. then—what if he is! Dana not that give
me an especial right to abuse him! It is one of the
privileges of our sex to make fun of those we like
best.'
'Alt! Kate that is a fatal apprehension. If you
would think twice you would see how foolish a
thing you hod said; for if you abuse him before
those who know your real opinion, they will laugh
at your vein attempt' to blind them, while if you
make fun of him before strangers, you lower him in
r
'l'shaw! Now you would piny the logician,'
said Kate, jumping up and running to the door.
'You know sister inine, when you begin to lecture'
I begin to move—so gond bye, my dear little preach
er, and with these words the goy girl skipped down
the entry.
Kate seas always the careless, rattling creature
we have described her. Gifted with high animal
spirits, a good lieprt, warm impulse., and considera
ble brilliancy of mind, she might have mule an al
most faultless being but for the unhappy faculty
she hail imbibed, of taming into ridicule every per
son awl thing" she met with. Scarcely the members
of her own fatuity escaped her witty longue. We
have seen that even her favored tovedstiffered under
its lash. Indeed, as if to take revenge for having
tort her heart, Kato was especially severe on him
who had won it. Th, tact is, she was so fond of
mystifying—or quizzing as she called it—that she
made it a point to say things of George which no
lady could be suspected of saying against tha num
she loved.
'Dear Kate,' said Agnes again to her, a few days
after the preceding coneensution, 'you really roust
each your propensity to wire. Did you no•ice how
George colored last evening, when you triode such
fun of him to his face: and after 'ais hack wan turn
ed, you will say things of him that will certainly of
fend him, if they ever came to his eon,
'Let him get offended then,' said Kate tossing her
head. 'He is too sensitive and ought to he cured.'
'Yet you would not cure a flesh wound by irri
tating it where moat sensitive would you?'
.0h! logic again. Why, really, Ala, you ore quite
en Aristotle. But you ought to know, by this time,
that I am a truo woznarcand can't he reasoned with
qf she will, she will,
You may depend on't,
If she won't, she won't— ,
And there's an end coil
.80, my sweet easter, keep your syllogisms for
some one else and leave me to abuse George Alcott,
otherwise I will take to quizzing you, and every
body else most unmercifully. The fact is, he serves
as a sort of safety valve to mit—as long so I can
hove hire to ridicule, you ere all safe—but, forbid
this, and there will be a general explosion in shish
every ode will gaffer.'
Rate accordingly went on as she had begiin . . She
mils beautiful and accomplished, and had flaterer3
without number, so that she could do tnany things
With impunity that would not have been overlooked
in girls less admired. She deceived many as to her
hue sentiments foe George Al.:a. Her lover car
ed lulls for.this; but he really was annoyed at the
oevele things Which often came to his ears as having
been said of hint by Kcte. Ho won too proud to
remonstrate. but he showed by trio mariner how
much he was hurt. At such times, by a few con
cessions, Kate would restore him to good humor;
but, [whim., on the very next day, she would com
mit her old fault again.
.Ah! Katrl, you are found out at last, sly as you
have been,' said ode of her companions to her.
'You are engaged to George Alcott—you need'itt
curl your lip, for you can't deceive me any longer—
I had it from his own sister.'
Now if there waa any ane whom Kate wicheil to
conceal her engagement from, it was this gostipimr
girl, who had often annoyed her excessively by try
ing to pry into her affairs. She knew if Caroline
Wharton once became acquainted with her engage
ment, the news would 110 a common topic before
night. Thinking only of this, Rate, withoet ex-
actly denying her engagement, began to ridicule
George Alcott, and did it no bitterly and no effectu
ally that Mine Wharton was convinced she bad
been misinformed.
.1 know it is not true.' said the goecip, on that
very evening. in a large circle of listeners. You
should have heard what fun Kate made of George
Alcott, how she m i micked his voice, and quizzed
his how, and imitated his wny of abetting his eyes,
just like a mole, no she said—you know he is short.
sighted. And now only to think that no biter than
this morning, Mr. Alccdt's pen sister told me triey
were engaged —how could she be so regardless of
the truth h—but then, you know, the Alcotts,
would all give their little Augers to bring about the
match.'
Just at that instant, unperceived by the epeeket,
George Alcott himself unexpectedly entered the
room. His fare became livid when he heard his
mistress' abuse of himself thus freely commented
on—but he actually trembled with passion when
Caroline Whartorr proceeded to charge his shooed

hand. But after a moment's reflection', he felt he
could not control himself sufficiently for this; and,
aware that violence of tune or gesture would only
make him a laughing stock; he tamed on his heel
and left the npartment.
Once in his own room, however, he became
calmer. Yet this indignation against Kato did not
decrease, for. this Jest insult was the drop that made
the cap run over. lie felt dint he had borne much
from her--more, indeed, than a high spirited man
ought—but his love, which amounted to idolatry,
had constantly invented excuses for her hitherto,—
Now, however, the long net:emulating conviction
that, with such-a woman he never could by happy.
forced itself irresistibly upon him. 'No, I must

I shall cease to respect her Kali° can mock me,' he
said. Henceforth, Kate, though once so dear s
you and I must be only distant ai:ounintancee.—
Even if I could forgive you the injury to me, I
cannot overlook the instill to my sister:
Ire did not write to Kate that evening, but he
waited until the next day in order that he might
not be hasty ; when, being more than ever enured
of the necmity of the course of conduct, he pen
ned her a long letter in which after telling her how
much her habit of ridiculing hint, and those he lov
ed annoyed him during their long acquaintance, ho
concluded by narrating this last instance of her fo

crowd which she beheld nor, and now on her fin
