Can Y« n Foiget Me t
Can yon forget me? I who have so cherished
The veriest trifle thiit was memory's link ; _
The roses that you gave me, although perished.
Were precious in my sight—they made me
[think :
You took them in their scentless beauty stoop-
* • [ing
From the warm shelter of the garden wall;
Autumn, while into languid winter drooping,
Gave its last blossoms, opening but to fall,
Can you forget me ?
Can you forget me ? I am not relying
On plighted vows—alas! I know their wo-th
Man's faith to woman is a trifle,dying
Upon the vgry breath that gave it birth ;
But I remember hours of quiet gladness,
When, if the heart had truth, itspoke it then;
When thoughts would sometimes take a tone
[of sadness
And thgn gnponsciou3ly grow glad again.
Cgu you lprget them ?
Can you f >rget me? My whole soul was blended;
Af least, it sought IO biend itself with thine;
My life’s whole purpose, winning thee, seemed
[ended —
Thou wert my hi art’s sweet home, my spirit s
[shrine.
Can you forget me? When the fire light burning,
F.u g sudden gleams around the quiet room.
How would thy words, to long past moments
[turning,
Trust me with thoughts soft {is the shadowy
[gloom.
Can you forget them ?
There is no truth iu Jove, whate er its seeming:
And heaven itself coulfl scarce seem more
[true;
Sadly have I awakened from the dreaming,
Whose charmed slumber, talse one, was of
Lyot*.
I gave my inmost being to thy keeping ;
I had no ibought J did not seek to share ;
Feelings that, hushed within my soul, were
[sleeping,
Waked into voice to trust them to tny care.
Can you iorget them ?
Can yoq forget me? This is vainly tasking
The faithless heart where I, alas ! am uot.
Too well I kuow the idleness of ask ng—
The misery of why am I forgot ?
The happy hours that I have passed, while
[kneeling,
Half slave, half child, to gaze upon thy lace;
But wbat 10 thee this passionate appealing—
Let my heart break, it is a common case.
You have forgotten me.
Miscellaneous.
The Husband Outwitted.
A GAME FOR TWO TO PLAY.
A week at the watering plate, ami
.nwsi of t ie tune spent in ilie company
of Mr. Main well, tlie gentleman w lion
Miss E ish oi Ill’s ‘del Irieml, Neil \\ till
taker, had introduced to her one tm.ru
lngon tne piazza. Sue had nailed win.
n.in along the shore untie moouligh
evenings, and she hail danced Willi illm
in throiigid drawing room.
M.ss Eisworih was not a tint, wliodis
tribul-ii her ideas aiming many gentle
men, and .she had humi tier ideal wei.
nigh realized in Mr. ^lamwell. Only
the evening before, their talk had with
drawn itseif from the ge neral topics to
which each had been congenial, and Hi
ner admiration of Ins intelligence and
manliness, she had encouraged an ap
proach to that pel Sonal s .rt of conveisa
null winch relates to lo\e aud matii-
mony.
And now to find Mr. Main.well this
morning, with ins coat ofi'and a smith’s
apt on on, engaged in mending a lock!
lie was* uuing it publicly. Tne-lock
way v-,a iLe uooiMbai led to the middle
of ilte iroiil piazza where toe fashioua
biy dresscd.iatln-s and gentlemen were
s uiiig or prbiifenaiiing.
* His baek was. toyvara her as she ap-
pioabhcd, leaning ou the arm of hei
nil lid, Anna West. She recognized
him, looked intently at him, gave hei
companion over to a party of young la
dies near, atid then stopped and spoke,
to him.
‘Do you like that sort of \xor», Mr.
Main well?’ she asked.
'I do, Miss Ellsworth. I believe 1
am a natuial mechanic.’
‘It appears very odd to sec you doing
lilts’. .
‘It is my tirade, ’ he rep'ied, rising
from his work and turning to her.
Her cheek blanched a little. ‘Your
tradt! she said faintly. •
‘Yes, trade, Miss Ellsworth. The
proprietor said the lock needed mend
ing, and I told him that I could mend
it fur him.’
The party of girls came just then. Af
ter wondering at Mr. Mainwell awhile,
and laughing at him, they proposed lo
ride. ' 1
There were three carrages for them
all-; these would lake the party.
Ned Whittaker here joined them.
‘What the deuce areyonahout here?
he exclaimed lo Mr. Mainwell, ‘Ah,
he added, as the latter turned and ex
plained matte: s to him. ‘But while you
are here you might as well enjoy
^yourself.’
Mr.‘'Mainwell excused himself from
joining the pflrly, arid they all went
away leaving him to finish his work.
Miss Ellsworth lefflltin without any
word at parting.’
‘It ik ivefl,’ he muttered to himself.’
If sire earmpttake me a'sTafmp Bhe is
not woiTh^ fif nle. 1 The woman that
inaneis me most take for mvself.’
Uestcftid and looked after her until
she had disappeared. She did not onee
turn to look back.
He gave his Shoulder a shrug, com
pressed bis lips, uttered a cynicatf
‘liuinph/ and turned to his work.
* "Let it be So,’ lie muttered, when he
was ihrohgii and putting on his coat.
*i thought perhaps that 1 had found a
wointfn after my own heart. Amidst
this'-world of wealth and fashion, she,
f o has lbst her soul. Let her go,’
He : avoided her thereafter, lie did
not seek to catch her eye tor a boy of
recognition,
“sr .At
When he entered a drawing room
where he was, lie would go out by an
other way. But iie was more than
ever in the company of Neil Whitta
ker. Ned, in passing to and fro be
tween Miss Edsworth and him, served
si ll a-» a link between-them.
•You are a cynical fellow,’ said Ned,
one day. -Wny don’t you take people
as they are? You will find good enough
in them.’
‘But they won’t take me as I am.—
That is the trouble.’
•Pooh! You see yourself that she
allows m* other suitors to accompany
her. Don’t you see that she is aloue oi
with the other girls most of the time ?’
‘Her heart is full of vanity.’
‘Pshaw ! she is trained to luxurious
notions, that’s all.’
Mainwell’s trunk was awaiting him
and the stage, outside on the piazza, at
the time tliis conversation was going on.
On the trunk were his initals, ‘G. M.’
Miss Ellsworth, passing that way, saw
the initials—not by chance, for she had
been scrutinizing the trunks tiiat lay
together in a pile—and when she saw
the initials she started and t rned pale.
She recovered herself and withdrew
with her companion alittle Way, and
then stood still ami watched. Presently
Mr. Mainwgll came out with Ned ux>on
the piazza. He chanced to turn li is eyes
toward her, and their eyes rnet--rnet fur
ihe fiist time since she had left him
while he was at work upou tire lock.
She did not turn away her eyes. She
bowed. He lifted his hat. The ice was
broken. He approached her, to bid her
good bye.
What the conversation was that en
sued between the two when they were
left alone by Ned’s ingenuity in spirit
ing away the rest of the company, is
unknown, save the following:
‘But I am a blacksmith,’ said Mr.
Mainwell.
‘No matter.’
‘Are you willing to live as the wifeef
one who with his hands earns his daily
biead?’
*1 am willing to undergo anything to
be with you. I have suffered enough
During these last few days I have learn
ed what it is to despair of being uuiied
io the one I love.’
‘But your mother—your father.’
‘Unless I am willing to leave them
0 your sake, I air, not worthy of you.*
‘But then the loss of wealth, of post
turn of the surroundings of red ment.’
‘D.» not say anything more about i<
1 am willing to leave all lor yours.ke
L am w.-ary of being without you.
‘Would you be w riling to beet me my
wife this day, this hour? Your lailiei
and mother might otherwise put ob^ta
cies in our way.’
‘1 am willing—this hour, this .min
ute.’
‘’[’hey know not my position in life.’
‘•They siill think you are wealthy as
[ did,’ said she.
‘Come, then, we will go on our way
with Nid, and become before the wor d
what we are now inspirit, husband and
wilt; and then we take ears for the
home I have for-you—a home, which,
lowly, will make you happy.’
‘Whither you go I will go.’
Tney were married in a quite way,
in the little watering place ciiapel, with
the wicked conniving at the mischief.
The next train sped with them to the
oily.
•I will show you the shop where I
work,’ said Mr. Mainwell, when tin
carriage they had taken at the depot had
drawn up before one of a long block ol
orown stone houses in aspleudid part ol
the city.
‘ Wnat do yon mean ?’ she demanded,
as she aceompaied her husband up the
oroad steps to the door.
‘1 mean.’ he replied, ‘that is the home
and this is the wprlf-shop.’
A,nd he led her in. Among other
rooms to whiph he pond net ed his wife
was one fitted up ss a work ahop, where,
as he said he was apeustomee to indulge
his love IcrtnpQhanical work, after hav-
pg as he assured her. regularly served
ms time at learning a trade.,
Mrs. Mainwell stood and locked at
him innocently.
.This'is your house?’she said.
‘Yes, madame.’
‘And you are not poor but rich?’
‘You speak the truth, Nt8. Main-
well.’
‘Ah, pretty, indeed: And suppose
you.don't love me?’
•But I do.’
‘Humph?’
So there was a little family quarrel on
tlue spot.
‘Now invite your father and mother
to come and see us,’ said Mr. Mainwell,
after toe clouds hadcleared away some
what.
‘I will,’ she replied. ‘I will. But
first you must go with me to see them,
and to pacify them, in view of what
we have done.’-
‘Yery well;’
Ll a few days they, started out in a
carriage on their errand. Mrs. Main-
we[l gave the directions to the driver,
and her husband could not help ex
pressing his wonder at the increasing
squalior of the neighborhood through
which the rode. The carriage drew up
at length before a miserable looking
house and stopped.
•Where the deuce are you taking
me?” risked Mainwell, looking shafp-
ly at his wife.
‘Come and see,’ was her reply^as shp
proceeded to step from the oarriage.
‘Here, wait,’ bn.exclaimed, after Ms
hesitancy ;. ‘let me get o,ut first and help
you out. What dues.thja me^n?‘
‘Follow me,’ was her reply.
She led him up stairs—up, up,
through throngs, and dirt, and smells,

to the fourth story. Here^she opened
a door without knocking, and the two
entered. The woman was-dressed npat-
lv, and so were the children, bat they
were all dressed very poorly, in keeping
with the place. The man was clad more
caieless and even more poorly. On hie
head he kept his hat, which was CVfj
tainly full a half doaen years old..
‘My husband, Mr. Mainwell; my far
ther and mother, brothers and sisters,’
said Mrs. Mainwell, introducing all pkr*
ties.
Mr, Mainwell stood and stared witft*
out speaking. ri
‘Ask their their pardon, George,’«
Mrs. Mainwell, ‘for running away wit§
ue.’
‘Who are they ?'
‘Have I not told you, didn’t I intro
duce you ?’ , m .' t
Who were they I saw at the watering
place?’ . ...
‘Some wealthy people who bad seep
me at the milliner’s where I served for
a livelihood—served at my trade,
George—and wljo fancied my appear
ance, dressed me up, and took me there
with them.’ i
‘Youjest with me,*' fie aaid, with#
ghastly smile.
•Do I ? do I, indeed ? These people
seem to recognize me as daugeter and a
sister ; jest, indeed! You will find that
out.’ *
‘You are too cultivated, too tasteful,
too fine featured!’
‘All this a milliner may be, or a sibw?
ing girl. Look for yourself among fhp
class. Is it not true?. All that we
girls need is dress.’
Mainwell lifted his fist and dashed i£
through the air. He ground his t«etb,
and turning away left the room, skua-,
ming the doer violently behind him.
Ilia wife took off her hat and cloak
and flung litr^elf down at the table and
buried her face in her handkerchief.
The door opened • again, and Main-
well put in his head-
“You have deceived me,’ he said, ‘but
come—you are iny wife—I will try ant|
bear it.’
She sprang to her feet and confroned
him ‘Your wife, am IT she exclaimed.
‘Y our wife, and doomed to live with
one who does not love her, but was ip.,
love with her circumstances? No, sir;
you may go. X will not live a wife un
loved for myself—you must take me
thus or I will stay. Still I can work.’ -
He dosed the door and retired do.wq
the stairs to the street, clenching his,
hands and Ins teeth as he went.
‘The horrible disgrace of it,’ henwt*
tered. ‘The derision that will be my
lot. And then to marry such a girlT

had a struggle with hiin3e)f there all
alone. Suddenly he turned and dash
ed impetuously up stairs, flung open the
door of the room, seized his wile in hia
arms and clapped her to his heart..
‘My Wife,’ he whispered in her
‘Suun-you are, and ev.er sball.be before
Gud and the world.’
‘Now I begin to think that yon do.
love me,’ she said, smiling in his face.
•You do love me? You reaBy thin.k
j-ou do, G.eorge?’
He clasped nei; more tightly to him.
‘Oviine then,’ she said, Though of such
pa r enuvas these, poor as tney are I
snould not be ashamed—yet- tbey ; a.rift
not iny parents but have only played a
part in which I have entrusted tbeni.
Shake hands with them, George they
are worthy people.’
And he did shake hands with ibem^
and what is more, be helped them,
N merry party was gathered that
evening at Main well’s house, -a party
consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Maitiweil,
and their guests, Mr. and'Mrs. Ella-
worth, the young lady acquaintance of
the watering place, and Ned was imv*-
er, in better spiriis, nor, let it be stated,
were Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth, who for
gave their daughter and her husband
without the least hesitation.' .
‘I say George,’ said Ned Whitaker,
wh speringin MamwelTs car, “two can
play at th.ft game, can’t they ?*
Mainwell took Ned’s-jeering very so
berly.
‘Yes,’ said he, after a few minutes of
thoughtfulness, ‘and the experience haf
taught me a lesson what foojs, the pride
of wealth makes us all. I thought she
ought to have taken me regardless of
my circumstances for myself alone, and
arid without hesHiatfon. And yet when*
she : tested me, I myself was found
wanting. Shall we ever learn to dis-
reg ird a person’s occupation, and to
look only at the character and soul V
Ned shrugged his 'shoulder® dubi
ously. J-:
‘I think I have learned a good les
son,’ Mainwell added. ’ ‘
