Vowing eternal fidelity, the lovers parted, and the next moraing, Don and Dona Feliz, with their daughter and attendants, started ou their jour ney, while Carlos <fc Co., with their Indian guide, wended their way, lull of hope and confidence, over the mountain-trail.

More than once or twice we have called the attention of parents io the importance of knowing exactly what their children read. The most insidious and attractive poisons lie all about them in the shape of illustrated news papers,fascinating fiction and volumes concealed from the parent’s eye. We should be more careful what our chil dren read than what they say, A wholesome fear of parental disapproba tion may preserve their language in corruptible while tbeir minds are full of what they dare not express* Careful attention in two particulars will prevent tho evil to which wc refer. First, the natural curiosity every child is well, appirently, os you are, do •lie suddenly, I am afraid to have you put it off a moment longer. Betide the Bible says now is the nc- «»pted time.

The announcement of their contem plated removal struck dismay into the beans ot .waiceliiua and Carlos; but thc latter receiving courage from des- p.-ration, presented his suit to the pa rents. As was anticipated, it was scornfully rejected, and further inter course siemly forbidden. The lovers were, however, too ardeut to be sepa rated thus, and through the medium fan old Indian nurse, who was devo tedly attached to the girl, they obtain ed one interview before parting. In the early twili£nt Marcellina stole out to an olive orchard, surround ed by an adobe wall which lav back ot the paternal mansion. Here she stood waiting with throbbing heart the ar rival of her lover, while her nurse kept watch on the other side of the wall, ready to give the alarm, by signal agreed upon, should any one approach from the house. Suddenly a tall figure sprang over the wall and crept stealthily along io its shallow till he came dose where tbe waiting stood. ’Carlos,’ she c.ied, Lo’d.og cot her trembling bands. ‘Is it you. Mrr- cellina? Ah, poor little one, hov s*i>* trembles! They are very cruel darling, but we will uot be separated.

But strange to sa/, the faithful vine once a token of lidt I- ity between the lovers, now btcan e their menus of support; for so prolilic ..ad it beecun, and so little dul the i i- d-deut Spanish about them turn their aitentiou to the culture ot the grape, that its trails brought them an income sufficient for maintenance. About twelve years ago a second vine sprang up near the original one and grew rapidly until now it nearly equals it in size. A large dancing floor was erected benuitb the shadow of the vine, and here the Spanish youths and maidens unite in the rner- ry dance on Sabbath evenings accord ing to their custom. Carlos and Marcellina died at a good old age, leaving behind them three hundred lineal dcccodanta, and the big gi’ape-vine* which will keep green tlieir memory and the story of their love and faithfulness, tong tfter chil dren aud grand children ceise to foil the story. Hundreds of tourists annual'y vwt the place, aud w< ndir while they cate upon its vast proportion, and listen to tun accounts of its marvelous product iveness.

Secondly, the parent should read the books himself that he places in the hands ot his children, and know that they are healthful in their moral tone. If he cannot read them himself he should have the judgment of some one in whom he has confidence before running the risk of giving his children improper intellectual food. There are many juvenile magazines and newspa pen containing only good published in our country, and the number o- volumes of interesting and instrac tire literature written tor children it past counting. There is no need iha any child,in its hunger for amosin; and instructive books, should lay it. hands on any whose moral teaching. are impure or injurious. Care on th-. parent’s part is here the one thing needfuL—N. Y- Tribune. Our young friend Parker went round the other evening to visit the two Miss Smiths. After conversing with them awhile, Miss Susan excused her self for a few moments and went up stair*. Presently Parker ihongbt he heard ber coming and, slipping be laud the door, he suggested that the other M sa Smith should tell Min Susan that ho had gone, But it wasn’t Susan; it Was old Mr. Smith iu his slippers. As he entered hi looked around aud said to his d&ugh ter; “Ah, bn! So Parkeris gone, has he. Good riddance. 1 was Jan cornin’ down to keep my eye on him. I ho;« he hasn’t proposed to you, Mary Jane. I didn’t want any such lantern-jawed, red-headed idiot around here. Ho hasn’t got the sense of a rata-baga turnip, or money enough to buy a clean shirt He gets none of mr daughters. I’ll shake the life out cf him if I catch him here again, min i me.” Just as be concluded, Susan came down and, not perceiving Parker, abe said: “Thank goodness, he’s gone. Th*t man is enough to provoke a saint was awfully afraid he was going to stay and spend thc evening. Vary Jane, 1 hope yon did not ask him to come again?” Then Parker didn’t know whether to stay there or to bolt, while Mary Jane looked as if sh& would like o dr*>p into the cellar.
