A STORY OF tLIGIITF:D HOPES AND BROKEN 'MARTS,
Long story, but wuqt make tt short:—

YOung wan by the name of William.
Youtiv. lady by the name of Belinda.
Lived in some neighborhood near neigh
bori4v: town. Young wan good looking,
but lint tich—pleuty of kindaut ao Money.
Young lady's beauty not 'likely to'be the
death of her; but grandma went under a
year nap and left a pile of ten cent pieces
large' as a round or wool. Young lady
desperately in love with young nitto, and
young man dessierately in love with young
lady.' Young man Wouldn't let edneeal

"He held her gentle hand in his,
'And pressed hdr slender form,
• And, rowed to shield her from the blast,
And from the World's storm. •

Stich is life nod lure. Young lady told
young wan to interrogate old folks.—
Yoong wan did, Old felts said "not if
they Could help it." Young lady bro
keu be4rted—quit _ combing her hair—
took off hoops—wore shoes slip shod, and
wanted to "find relief in the silent tomb."
Young
man met young lady by uwaidight
alone, Wanted young Ntly to throWbUntlle
of clothes out of back window, climb, down
rope ladder "into these arms," And 'fly to
squire; and happiness, 4.r. way

I wed thee, dearest one, without consent
of ma or pa," youp g man pleads; like
angels, trumpet tongued. , Young lady
stubborn and dutikl. Young man tries
the indiguationupbraids young
swears,
"lie did not thiuklo find so cold
I 1 .. k heart be deemed so true
A 'heart like his would yield her ag,
f bee like his should woo."
and talks of pistols and prussic acid.:
Williain; leave me—:quit my sighs ferever
but take me along with you r Young
man happy as tt nigger at porn shueking,
and tells young lady to look out Saturday
night and dt.n't be scared if she sees lad

two browa heads with tossing earis,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes , black and two eyes blue,
Little boy and girl were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They were standing where a brook,-
Bendinglike a shepherd's crook,
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks
Of green willows fringed the banks ;
nalf in thought and half in play,'
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They bad cheeks like cherries red.;
Ile was taller—'rriost a head ;.
She, with urine like wreaths of snow,
Swung a basket to and fro,
As she loitered, half in play,.
Ghattering with Willie Grey.
•
' ` Pretty Katie," Willie said—
And there came a dash of red
Ilirough the brownness of his cheek—
"lloys are strong and girls are 'weak,
And I'll carry, so I will, ,
.•
Katie's basket up the hill."
I
Katie answered with a laugh, •
"Yon shall carry only half ;" ! •
And then tossing- l back her curls,
"Bows are weak as well as girls."l
15c you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed.
Men are only boys grown tall, •
Hearts don't cuange much, after till, .
And when long years from that day,
Kii,tie Lee and Willie Grey
Btbod again beside the brook
Bending like a shepherd's crook
iit strange that Willie
While again a daSh of red
Mussed thebrowness of his cheek—
'ii um and you are weak;'
Lie is but a slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep;
you trtist me, Katie dear ?
Walk beside me without fear ? .

Ail your burdens up the hill?"
And she answered with a laugh,

close beside the little brook,
Bending like a shepherd's crook,
'Washing with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands, •

fly from parental : tytanny and be happy
with him and let him be happy with her,

would ftx things quick enough. Young
lady all teal's again. "Cruel, cruel man—
carry me 1,6 the ends of earth, I don't
care where; just so as you carry me."
Saturday night young lady shuts up
