And I lilted up my ears to catch tho sil
very accents of your voice. My tongue
refused to wag, and in silent admiration 1
drank in the sweet infection of love, as a
thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of hot
whisky punch. Since the light of your
face fell upon my life. I sometimes feel as
if I could lift myself by my shoe-straps to
the topof a church steeple. Day andnight
you are my thoughts. When r ‘Aurora,”
blushing like a bride, rises from her saffron
couch; when the jny-bird pipes his time-
lny-iti the Apple tree ‘by tf

my heart seems to stretch clear across mv • r .
bosom. Your half is like the inane, of a er8 ftS J’ 011 would they should do to you;
lingers weaving the mystic web of his lone
ly destinvs and ns ho watched the phantom
hands with feverish intensity, he wonder
ed if at soiuc future day, that a mantle of
brightness might fall upon him instead of
a pall. A strain of sweet sad nulsie broke
III unou his*lonely niusingH. Over all re
fined natures music has an absorbing pow
er, and though it often fills the soul with
sadness, it costs upon it the spell of an Ir
resistible fascination; nnd the stranger
paused in his desolate walk to listen to the
song. The windows of the princely man
sion were hut half veiled, and he could see
the happy group that surrounded the pi
ano, and the fair girl that sang the soft mi
nor uir which sank into the listener’s heart.
lie was.a.poet, and had written songs
of tenderness and love for others to sing.
Himself, he could not sing with such a
weight upon lds.heart. The light of ge
nius was m his eye, and the imagery of a
fervid imagination gathered around Ids
brain, and the poet’s impulse, loving, warm
and true, lived within bis heart.
In the sensitive and gifted the longing
for sympathy and love is far more, than in
ruder natures, and all his life long his
heart had yearned with passionate eogor-
I ness for the pure delights of home and the
bliss of sympathy and love.
The song was over, hut still he lingered,
watching the firelight’s fitful glow, as it
shed its ruddy sheen upon the clianginj
group.
Again, tlio fail' girl took her scat at tlio : J,'® bleak' hill side. Tlio dimples in

Dolly—A Western Drover's Ntory.
tty name Is Anthony Hunt. I am a
drover, and 1 live miles away upon tho
AVestem prairie. There wasn’t a homo
within sight when wo moved there, my
wife nml I, nnd now wo havn't many
neighbors, though those we liavo nro good
ones.
One day, nbout ten years ago, I went
nwny from homo to sell somo fifty head of

to buy some groceries and dry goods lieforo
[ came back, nml above nil, a doll for onr
youngest, Dolly; she had never lmd a store
doll or her own, only the rag babies her
mother lmd made her.
Dolly could talk of nothing else, nnd
went down to the very gate to call after
me to “buy a big 011c." Nobody but a
parent can understand how ftdl my mind
was of that toy, and now, when tho cnttlo
was sold, tho first .thing, I hurried oil' to
buy Dolly’s doll. 1 found a large one,
with eyes thnt would open nnd shut when
you pulled a wire, and had It wrapped up
in paper, and tucked under my arm, while
1 lmd the pnrcolsof calico nmldilnlncnnd
ten nnd sugar put up. Then, late ns it
was, 1 started for home. It might have
been more prudent to stay until morning,
hut I felt nuxio.us to get hack, nnd eager
to hear Dolly’s prattlo nbout her doll.
I was mounted on a steady-going old
horse of miuo,nnd pretty well loaded.—
