JULIE'3 ADVKNTUH.E.
A SiOHY KOtt TU E MTTLB ONKS.
Little Julie was ! most as wee sis Tom
Thumb in the fairy bock; whose moth
er tied bli'i to a thistle v.hilo she was
milking her cow, for fear that ho would
blow sway. Hio was sis years old, but
her sister Katie, who was only four, was
itiita as (all asfhe, snd much larger,
and all the little six year olds iu the
street and I nsuio you there was a
gjod many ot t'ueiu oVrtopped her
early head by incites, much Ij Julio's
uiortiiie ttion. who was vexed to have
everybody think her sueh u very little
girl, when she was so old.
It was midsummer, and mamma had
genu away to tho mountains, taking Ka.
tie with her, aud leaving Julie at home
with her nurse t.nd papa. Julie wished
very much to go with mamma, for fhe
had been iu rho country, and the re
incumbrance of it was like the prett'nst
dream she ever had ; tiie gay, green
fields where the brooks played at hide..
and seek in tho grasses, and the long,
sunny meadows tilled with daisies and
buttercups, that were like so many
bright, winking eyes, looking at the . sky
all day, and shutting theiicelves up at
night so that they could never see the
stars as long as they lived. Uuf, after
nil, it was very f;rand to remain al home
and be papa's little housekeeper ; for
mamma had ir.'prcssod upon her :i:iinl.
very deeply, how uejes-ary it v. is that
souo) ono should stay and care f or poor
papa whiln sho was away, arid Julie
took up her new duties witii great im
portance. Lliddy gave her a Lunch of
keys, which she wore dangling at her
little waist, while sho we :t about " see
ing to things," just like mamma, for all
tho world
One Sunday alterncon Julio got tired
of stay iug iu the house, and coaxed No
ra the nurse to take her out inlo the
pur!;, which was a little way up the
street from her papa's house. It was a
pleasant place, that pretty, green park,
lined with great trees and so briirht
with flowers flowers that you mustn't
touch for your life, however; aud mauy
jouutry orchardcame iliere'bu sun i;y
days to sing; aud launy u little bee lelt
tho sconced beaullowcrs and golden
squash blossoms ol some cottage garden,
aud made u fleet voyage through the air
to taste the dainty lips of those nine
aristocratic blossoms. Then there was
a fountain that kept talking and mur
muring in its dror.sy way, as if it were
trying to tell fairy stories. Julie made
believe that it, did. Tbt bees were
out working ti.ut day just the same as
if it wasn't Sundays better than on any
other day; for if one mu.-t be still, aud
nothop about, on one fool, nor play with
dolls, nor roll hoop upon t lie sidewalk,
it is better to be still where there is
something to see and to hear, and so she
s.it vith inliuiio con'ctit on a low seat
near the fountaru, keeping very still to
listen to its niiiiuiur, aud watch the
bright .-pr,y that changed to rainbow
colora in the sunshine, until it grew to
ward evening.
But poor Nor tho nurse w is listen
ing to the vesper bells that were just
beginning to call people to church, and
wishiug that she might go, too, with
the crowd of people who wove already
on their way. But it was of no use, for
all tho rest of the servants had a bolt
day that day, und there was no ono to
leave Jub'c with. "O de -.r '." she sigh
ed ; for Nora was a good Catholic, cud
then Din; meets so many friends at church
ai.d she hadn't seen her sister Biddy or
her sivectheait Jerry 6u:ilvan, who was
too bashlul to conic and see, her, for
I'.iree weeks.
"What is tho matter, Nora ?" rpies
tioncd Julie, looking up iu stirpri-.a to
see Nora's haiipy, round face lengthened
so.
"0 nothing, darliut," said Nora, "on
ly I. was Tisiiing to go to chuf,:!:. It'.-:
soro on a body to bo kepi away so lung,
and everybody a'goin' and ti e bills
a'riugin'."
"Well," said good-natured little Ju
lie, "you can o, I an net airaid to
stay alone." '
"No, honey, it would never do in the
world. Your papa is away and the
house v:ouid 1,0 lelt a'cjiio entirely, a. i l
what would tieh a mite as yiisilt do to
keep p.way the fairies V
'Fob," said Julie, bravely, "Tin not
afraid of the fairies; they d m't ste.J
children here as they do iu Ireland
our funics are good, inuiuuu siys s i "
But Nora would ri"t cnu-ent to her
staying alone, though Julia persisted
that hhe must, for u long time, tor, be
sides wishing to be kind to Xora. Mie
tbouglitit would bo very grand to keen
house a whole evening all by herseil.
"Well, then," eaid Julia, at last, "Fll
0 to church with you it doesn't keep
very late, doc3 it '("
'No," eaid Nora, "but you'd be aslapo
before you got there,' and what wculd
your papa bay? He'd bo that angry
with mo that he'd turn me right out
o'doors."
"Puja wouldn't care at all. He'
took ino out himself, ono evening, and I
never got to sleep early, you know that
I don't, and 1 want to hear the music,
and see the little white boys light tho
candles. Biddy told mo about it,"
Just then who Bhouldcomo along but
Nora's sister and Jerry Sullivan, on their
way fo church f and Nora could not re-
kim run i : i il ill iii.ii iiifni.
"Uiit," said she, "l 11 only wills on a
piece with them, and you can come, too,
Miss Julie."
But she walked and walked on, until
she came to tho church door, and then,
persuaded bv Biddy and Jerry, sho
couldn't help' goin in, nd Julio, wh
bad added her voice to coax her, was de
lighted. JSiie had thought teat she had
never seen a church so uice;i.ho inusio
was t piciidid, and the alter looked so
gay and grand, with its decoration! and
lights, and '.he prieat chauted iu such a
(tiecr way, she couldn't understand
what the wolds ol his chant were ac all,
and all the people bowed to thn church
when they came irr. Julie thought that
was funny. She wondered why papa
and mamma weren't Catholics she
would be ono when the grew up. And
tho little gill sat very still, listening to
tho music and looking to the great illu
minated window behind tho altar, and
tho lights grew very faiut, then sho cur.
ied Herself up in one coiner of tho pew,
and was soou fast asleep. And when
the service was over, Nora, who was ea
ger t ta.y a great many things to Biddy
and Jeiry which she had stored up in
all this long time of separation, forgot
all about her little charge, aud they, who
had as much to say to her, forgot her,
also, aud besides there were so many
liiddies, and Nora), and Johnnies, and
l'ats dressing up to speai; to them, that
they couldn't keep their senses about
them at all, ko they went out with their
comrades and lelt poor Julie, who was
dreaming as trauqudy as if she had
been athoine in her own little bed, alone,
fhe last footstep paltered out onto the
.videwalk, aud tho sexton, after putting
things to rights about, tho altar a little,
turned down the lights, never noticing
the mite aelcep, iu Iier solitary corner,
and then he went out, too, locking tho
door, aud leaving tho church in silenco
aud darkness.
A clock struck somewhere, with loud,
distinct strokes, and Julie, stirring un.
easily in her sleep, her head, which was
propped against a pew cushion fell witn a
jar against the hard wall, aud she awoko
and looked around her in bewilderment,
and for a lew moments had no idea
where sho could be, it was so strange to
be sitting up in the uiht with one's
lijM Rut,u -j .
she saw the great colored wiudows with
tho moonlight silting through thr.ni,
tho outline of tho high altar, and the
gleaming pipes of tho organ in the gal
lory, and realized that sho had been left
in the church. lrou can imagine how
frightened she was she did not even
dare to stir, butNshe screamed until eve
ry echo in tho church was aroused and
answered her in amazement. It was
such a grand, dark, gloo.ny place to bo
lelt alone in at night; many a grown
person would have trembled with fear
iu a like situation, and poor little Julio
was almost frantic. Various ghost sto
ries that had been smuggled into the
nur.-ery at home, by Noia and Kate, flit,
ted through her mind in rapid success
sion, until she fancied that she saw
strange, gliding shapes in the dusky
aisles, and beard slow, hollow footfalls
creeping over the marble floors. Then
there was a moonbeam that shown di
rectly into a pair of great, staring eyes
in a picture over tho altar, or, at least,
they seemed staring becaufe the rest of
the face was in shadow, and she fancied
that they regarded them with a look of
stern displeasure, and even if sho closed
her eyes site could not help seeing them
all the time.
llow could Nora have been so cruel
as to leave her, sho thouy.ht, and would
it ever be morning again, aud should
she ever t:er, aivay fr i:u that dreadful
jilac-3 iu the world ? Tho minutessecni.
ed as long as hours iu passing by, and
Julia, crouching in her corner trying to

brave. To bo sure, she was a little
frightened, she said, but she didn't care

sho might fall a?leon and belcftalono
at night in the church again.
