Don't you like the family?” “Not as I like you, child, and not enough to like them to monopolize you and take up all your time and thoughts and interests, so that I, whom you are going to marry, can hardly get 0 much as a word or look from you.” “Who fs with you now, Dick?” for three minutes at the garden-gate. ise if T come inside you wiil be ounded the whole lot of them next moment; and for anything we may want tosay to one another we cht as well be at opposite poles. You mayn’t sind it, Ceeily—you don’t seem to do so, at ans rate; but, upon my soul, it’s hard lines on a mi: who loves you it ts an eveningin April. The land is all aflush with the pink blossoms of the almond and the rhite blossoms of the pear. Behind the low wn hills the sun is sinking slowly in a prim— rose sky. The west wind stirs the tender bris- tles of the green-plumed larch, and bears sweet violet whispers on its breath; and propping our four elbows on the mossy gate which bounds the vicarage warden, we two lean looking into each other's eyes, my lover and I. He is very handsome always, rather angry Just now, my lover; but I know that the anger comes from love, and so I think more of the first fact than the second, as I look up smilingly Into the brave bine eyes, bright with a passionate gleam, and mark how well the broad, square- cut shoulders and shapely head stand out against the golden glory of that evening one Tam so proud of him in my heart, my Dick, with the warin heart and hot tongue and clever brain, so proud of his caring for me that at the mere touch of his hand my heart goes leaping like a ¢ brook, and it is only silly shyness which me answer his earnestness with o laugh. “And pray, sir,do you expect me to be alway at your beck and call? I’m sure you get your fair share of attention.” “Do 1?" he says, gravely. “When I walt a whole week for the chance of one walk with you; and when the promised day comes you | coolly send me word that you've got something else to do, and are too busy even to see me!” And don’t you think it was any disappoint- ent to me to have to do so?” I exciaim with a touch of indignation. ‘Why, I—I nearly cried when the Whebles’ invitation came for that day. I knew Kitty had her heart on going; and as she loyes tennis so, and it was the first’ time they had asked her— But what had that to do with you? You didn't go.” i and then there the children.

It is then that Ican think of Dick; and as I do so my heart grows so sore and tender that the fool- ish tears of which Tom falsely accused me before rise in reality to my eyes, and I even indulge myself with a little sob at the thought of the angry parting of which I pretended to make so light a few hours sinc Teasnot bear Dick to be angry withme. Dick, who for all his quick, ery nature, is gentle as a woman in general wi.h those he loves, and who has been so tender and trae to me all these years, that at times his very generosity makes one forget that those who give much have a right to expect much in return. A long engagement is a very trying thing. Not that it diminishes the mutual love of those most concerned; but that it 1s apt to lessen the outward expression ot it, and bring about unin- tentional slights and apparent coolnesses, and it is trying too from the fact that the longer it lasts the less consideration or sympathy it seems to elicit from those even most nearly allied to the lovers; and who, when the first eclat of the affair is over, are apt to regard its lengthened existence with something ot impatience, not to say contempt. Dick and I have been engaged an immense while, four years before mother died; and he was ready and waiting for me when she was first taken ill, nearly a year before that. Tremember what a disappointment it was to him when the first postponement of the mar- riage occurred then, and how dear mother sym- pathized with us and promised to make haste and get well; but I don’t think the rest of the family gave a thought to It at all; and when. in- stead of getting well, she died, and my presence as the eldest became more necessary than ever, the home party seemed to agree to look on me as quite as much of a fixture as the old clock in the hall, and to regard poor Dick as an unau- thorized and somewhat tiresome interloper, whose rare demands on my time and attention could be either laughed at or ignored by even the youngest of his sweetheart’s home belong- ings. And I fear that long custom has almost inured me to this, and dearly as I love my lover, to giv- ing a tacit assent at any rate to the theory that whoever’s wishes are to come first with me, his, and of course mine, must inevitably be last. I don't see him often. He ts a civil engineer and too busy to pay frequent visits to our quiet village; but during this one his patience has been tried more than usual. We have hardly been together ten minutes; and when I look back to this evening and recall how cavalierly I met and dismissed his tender, passionate pleading for the fulfilment of that old promise, I feel that. even though I could give him no other answer in the main, he has a right to feel hurt and angered, and I meditate a more loving greeting to him in the morning, and a tete-a-lete walk to be stolen somehow out of household duties. It will not be difficult to make friends with him. He is yery forgiving always, my loy How beautifully that morning dawns! Is there anything more lovely than those early Ap when the snn rises ina turquoise sky through the feathery rifts of rose and silver clouds, when the furred white buds of the che: nut and the glossy brown buds‘of the beech are opening on every side, and the tender green ears parting and fluttering on the wanton pre: When daisies pied and violets blue, An 1 lady smocks all silver white, Anil cuexoo buds of yellow hue, Do paint the meadows with deiight, When the roaring moon of daffodil and cro- cus is hardiy gone and catkins swing on every hazel bough, and down in be woods the golden p itters like a fairy tree above a purple sheet of violets; when the lark oes tril- lin; sthe fields where the young j green wh s down in emerald waves, and lambs are le i airing, and Beehtves wake and whirr, And rabbit thins his fur, And golden tn the sun Rivulets rise and run And Illes bud, for springtime 1s begun. Is there ever a gayer, gladder time in all the year; or a gayer, gladder morning than this when I rise and look, across the frothin¥ snow of pear blossoms and meadows paved with golden buttereups. to the red roof of thevillage ihn, tal hidden in elm trees, beneath which Diek lodwes? Perhaps he may be striding across those meadows now to pay us an early visit and bripg me a buneh of violets. He has done so once or twice: but father doesn't like visitors at breakfast and Tm afraid Dick has found it out; at any rate he does not come to-day and so I go down to breakfast, give the orders for dinner, set the twins to their studies. and am just going to assist Maude through her laborious efforts at wading up the scale of D, when the maid brings me a letter which she says has just come from the inn, and I see it is from Diek: How thankful I have been since then that T left Maude and went away to read it by my | for even the first words seem to da je | me! It begins, “My dear Cecily,” and then I sit and read and reread the rest over and over again, how long I never knew, with eyes th see, yet see not. and_a heart which beats, yet refuses to comprehend.

Are they mad that they who have brought me to this expect me to go down to them, when my heart is breaking and wy whole soul one wild ache to get him and put. my arms round his neck, and beg him, pray him, to fergive me! Are they mad or stones? Well, zo down. Tcut the meat and serve the padding; and though I cannot say one word, and there must be something im my face which frightens the boys, for they stare at_me with wondering eyes and are strangely good and quiet, I never break down once, or rise until the meal is quite ended: and then at last 1 escape, and as I write to Bick the tears which have been frozen till now break forth like rain and blot the words as fast as they are penned. - For of course Lanswer him.

Other women have done that much for men whoJoye them, and why not I for Dick, who has. waited for me longer than many lovers already, and“signs himself mine “faithfally” still? =~ 3 So my letter is finished at last, andI walk across the fields myself (I will not trust it to any other hand) to pet itin the post. 1 do not do so in ourown village. I started with that intention; but a remembrance of my swollen oyes and pale, tear-blotched face deters me. 1 dare not show myself inthe little street where every man, woman and child knows “Miss Ce- cily and her lover,” and wili make their com- ments on my woe-begone appearance, so 1 walk on briskly to a hamlet two or three miles off, and I daresay the fresh air and exercise do me good; for though my hand trembles as I drop the missive into the worm-eaten slit of the rustic post office I teel better already when it is done; and as I turn slowly homeward I fall to counting the hours that must pass before it is in Dick’s hands, and again those other hours before I can get his answer. If he writes by return I can’t hear tillthe morning of the day but one following; but he may not be able to write even so quickly, and, on the other hand, if he comes instead of writing—ah, God grant it! that would be good indeed—he might be with me as early as to-morrow afternoon. With that thought it is impossible to be utterly down- hearted, and I reach home with my mind braced to wait, if not cheerfully, at least with patience. And I do walt, wait patiently indeed, but with a daily lessening hope. a daily failing heart; for Dick does not come, nor is there any answer to my poor, tear-blotted lefter. Suns rise and suns set. The dalsies ope their red-tipped petals to the morn, the wood sorrel folds her emerald leaves at dusk. The swallows that dipped and shot like living arrows through the sunlight of the early day hie to their nests beneath the eaves at night; but neither by day nor night comes there any answer to my prayer for par- don. Gradually, gradually the bitter truth creeps Into my heart that those words, “‘yours, faithfully,” meant, not what my foolish trust be- lieved, but the brief signature of stern formal- ity. Dick has left me. His love, tried perhaps before to stretching, snapped before the forced merriment of that foolish laugh; and because he had not the heart to say so he has held his peace and gone; gone for good. it is astonishing to see how little the family seems to think of his departure. To be sure, they know nothing of the cause. How should they unless I told them? and that, somehow, I cannot bring myself to do. After all, the most of them are only children, and they did not mean to hurt me; besides, while there is any hope of his coming or writing, | would not have them guess we had quarreled at all; and after- afterward it is too late. cords may embitter, they cannot heal a broken he: and so I hold my secret close and only wince in silence when I hear them talking lightly of Dick’s going to Canada;or when Francis, to tease me, asks if I ever expect to see him back again, and what I will bet that he doesn’t find a new flame.en othe voyage out. > little Teddy ‘invests in a toy boat y at “Cissy!s Dick sailing “away,” her calmly says it wasa good thing he He thought!the lad an utter fool to e such a berth the dirst time it was offered; and though it was a pity he hadn’t time to come nd say good-bye, it avoulé never have aone to. ing it by farewells that can be said just on paper, That is all; and after a while sort of talk dies “out, and except for an occasional question or remark Dick might most be forgotten; and no one notices how pale and silent I have grown, or how resolutely I shrink from eyen_ the few gayeties which crop up in our quiet _neighberhood. “Cecily was al- ways quiet,” “Cecily Jikesostaying at home,” What a much more sociable girl Kitty is!” that is what the tamily and the little world outside say; and it is true enough.» There is only one thing I want now, and that is to be let aione to drudge away at those household duties which once came between my Dick and me, but which are all I have left now to heip me to carry on my cross from day to day, and to keep me from that ‘‘sorrow’s crown of sorrow, remembering happier things.” ‘ tis spring again now; the second spring since’ my lover left me. Twice already have the fields been red with poppies, ana the deep woods brown with falling leaves. Twice have we dressed the chureh-with ivy and holly, and hung big bushes of mistletoe in the yicaraze hall. Francis has “passed” long ayo and got his com- mission.

All my long self-restraint, all my painful, pitifal efforts at womanly reticence and bravery have broken down at last in a burst of childish grief. and the tears so long held back break forth in a blinding rain, and my face is hidden in my hands. So it happens that some one coming in sees me before I see him, or can so much as dry my eyes. and utters an exclamation of surprise. “TI beg your pardon,” he adds very quickly. “Tonly came in because my old landlady has been telling me something abont a letter, and a lady——” And there he breaks off, for I nave lifted my head, and as our eyes meet there is a ery. Xecity! Cecily! Isit you? Oh, my darling, my love, what zood angel brought you here to give mea sight of you?” and somehow, some- how, in one moment, all the pain and grief and weariness, all the bitter bravery of-days when “the burden laid upon me seemed greater than I could bear” are gone, blotted out like breath from a glass; and there is nothing but joy and Peace and rest, rest perfect and serene to mind and heart and body; for I am in my lover's arms, and my tired head is drawn down upon his breast; and I hear his voice, the dear, ten- der voice of old, procmUsihg prayers for forgive- ness mingled with such words of love and fond- ness as I never thought would greet my ears again on this side of the grave. The bella have ceased to chime. The yellow crocuses bend and shiver before the sharp cold breeze, but we two stand in the April sunshine, and the light. which falls on Dick's bronzed head and kisses the crushed white hyacinths in my breast, is no brighter than that which brightens our two hearts on this the sweetest springtime of our lives. eo ox: = Death on the Turn of Day. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. I heard a lady say toa physician the other day: “I was watching one night at the bedside of a dying child. I asked the doctor when death might be looked for. He replied: ‘Any time after 12 o'clock.’ Why did he set that time?” “Because,” replied the physician, “for some unexplained reason a large majority of natural deaths, especially when the patients are children, occur on ‘the turn of day,’ as the coun- try people say. That is, from 12 to 3, either at noon or night.” ‘There is no explainable rea- son for this?” T asked. “None. It is one of the mysteries that envelop death. But of 100 ous dying by natural process 80 will die within three hours.” —_-se. Sanitary Boots and Shoes. The well-known unhealthfulness of rubber boots and shoes is now ingeniously overcome by means of an elastic middle sole, which forms a part of the’ permanent sole, and is constructed with compressible air cells, connecting with a tube which extends from the cells to the top of the leg. The weight of the body at each step compresses the elastic sole and forces the air from under the foot, oat of the tube; upon the weight being removed, as in the act of walking, the ‘atmospheric pressure or suction supplies fresh air—and thus, at each step, foul air is ex- pelled and fresh air admitted to the foot. The foot rests upon a leather insole, and does not come in contact with rubber, therefore is not “drawn,” as in ordinary rubber boots. As by this arrangement the foot cannot sweat, it does not become galled, tender or chilled. be eg ee Annoyed by Wives? Sisters, From the London Globe. It might haye been thought impossible for the most ingenious mortal to devise any new argu- ment either for or against marriage with a de- ceased wife's sister. There lives a gentleman at Liverpool, however, who is entitled to that credit. Inaletter to a local journal he ex- plains that his wife’s many unmarried sisters are the plagues of his life. Rarely does it happen that one of these spinsters is not staying at his house, and on these occasions his helpmate nat- urally does her best, by giving entertainments and other well-known means, to promote the matrimonial happiness of her unwedded visitor. The consequence is that the husband finds him- self put to endless expense and inconvenience, and this is likely to continue until eligible par- ties are secured for the whole bevy of sisters in- law. But he has heard it said that if the mar. riage with a deceased - wife's sister were legal- ized wives would be much less willing than at eseut to have their sisters stayin with them. en ifhis helpmate were to continue her pres- ent hospitality he could easily bring it to anend by making a point of flirtiik: prodigiously with each visitor in succession. And he would do 50, the wretch vows, without the slightest com- punetion, if the law were only changed so as to make it possible for his wife to regard each sis- ter as her possible successor.

During the last two or three meetings of the Lime Kiln Club Elder Toots has managed to keep awake most of the time by keeping a bit ofice on hishead and permitting the melting stream to trickle down the back of his neck, but on this occasion he had slept sweetly for twenty minutes, when he suddenly rose and offered the following resolution: Resolved, Dat dis club do hereby express sympathy for the cause of liberty in Cuba. During the deep silence which followed the reading of the above Professor Highstrang Smith was plainly heard chewing slippery el anda sudden sneeze from General Overworked Johnson rattled along the ceiling and brought down hundreds of small pieces of plaster. “Brudder Toots, what do you know *bout Cuba?” asked the president. “Numin,’ sah.” “What do you know ’bout de cause of lib- erty?” “Nuffin’.” “Who axed you to present dat resolushun?” “Iudze Gallipolee Thompson, sah.” “ Brudder Toots. you go out an’ soak de back of yer neck in cold tea!
