Waiting for the Dawn.
BY IRENE INGE COLLIER.
CHAPTER Y.
SUNDAY AT OAKLAND.
Morning at Oakland broke ‘dim with early
showers.’ Anna Furman and Susie Carroll lay
long in bed listening to the pattering of the
rain drops and talking, planning what they
should do to prevent the ‘blues’ on the rainy
Sunday in the country. ‘I shall turn blue
stocking and search the library for a Dice
volume to read in mother’s room in her big
Sleepy-Hollow of an easy chair.'
‘You’ll sit there until Mr. Bertram comes,
and then we’ll see yon Jflv up stairs and beau
tify, coming down all smiles to listen to bis
deep, low voice, as you did yesterday,’ Susie
answered mischevonsly.
‘Judge me not by yourself Madmoiselle,’
retorted Anna. ‘I sha'nt interfere with Sam,
and you. You two may sit all day in a corner,
the ‘world forgetting by the world forgot.’
But you are wrong to tease me about Eugene
Bertram, when he has eyes only for the dark
haired school-marm.’
‘I thought so once, but it looked differently
yesterday. It is a wonder though how the
young men can have eyes for any one when she
is by. What fascinating manners she has—a
combination of French vivacity and English
ease and high bred composure. Every move
ment is grace, By the way, I noticed^ your
brother Syd watching her as she moved with
deepest admiration in his eyes. He is certain
ly in love with her.’
‘I am afraid so, because I think brother Syd
ney will be disappointed. Eloise is not think
ing of him, she is thinking of no lover at pres
ent. It seems to me something is wrong with
Eloise Ennis. She is sad and gay by turns, her
eyes look like they are ready to fill with tears,
and her color comes and goes. I can’t imagine
what is the matter, but I shall try to find out.’
Listen, can that be the girls stirring in the next
room ? I never knew Carrie to be so smart
before, and on a rainy Sunday too. Let's dress
and see if they are really up.’
They dressed rapidly and went across to the
room which Anna and Eloise occupied. Both
girls were up, and had their toilets made, Car
rie dressed in a neatly-fitting house suit, and
Eloise, whose white picnic muslin was unsuit
able for the day, wore a pretty morning robe of
Carrie's and had her rich hair twisted in shining
coils.
‘Laggard,’ cried Carrie, ‘just up; I can see by
your looks.’
•So are you.’
‘Indeed you are mistaken, I have been up
ever and evei so long.'
‘About two minutes and a haif, is'nt it so Cres-
sy ?’ Anna said appealing to the mulatto girl
W’ho came in with a pitcher of fresh water.
‘Deed then, I can tell you Miss Carrie has been
up before I has; been all over the house and out to
de stable atter Jake, and done got him to go to
de 'Cademy for Miss Eloise's clothes. He went on
de mule Solem, de slowest critter in de country,
and he’ll be back I reckon before judgement
day.’
‘Elose looks lovely enough in the dress she
has on ’ Anna said. ‘She makes Carrie’s com
mon wrapper look like a court dress. I know
Mr. Bertram will think so. He will be sure to
behere, rain or shine.’
‘Yes to see you,’ Eloise answered, and her
face showed so much discomposure under
Anna’s keen eyes that the girl resolved quietly,
to watch the handsome music-mistress to-cay
and see if she could fathom her secret.
She did watch her. Ail day long her eyes
quietly, but persistently sought Eloise’s face.
Conscious of this surveillance, Eloise strove to
conceal her secret grief by a forced cheerfulness.
Her voice rang gayly from the library where she
read aloud passages from favorite authors, des
canted upon them, sometimes playfully bur
lesquing the sentiment. She was feverishly an
imated, and hummed snatches of songs, laughed
with unwonted gavety, and uttered merry jests
that delighted all but Carrie whose true affec
tion for her beautiful music-teacher made her
penetrate beneath the surface.
‘What is the matter Eloise? I know some
thing is wrong with you; won’t you tell me what
it is ’ she asked when they were alone in the li
brary for a few moment-’.
She bad drawn a foot-stool to Eloise’s feet as
her friend sat by the window listlessly watching
the rain. She leaned her arms on Eloise’s knees
and looked up into her face with loving anxiety.
‘Tell me dear,’ she repeated.
‘The matter, ma chert ? Why do you look so
serious ?’
•Because I can see you are not as gay as you
seem; you are not happy, Eloise.’
‘Not happy ! what an idea ! Why I am merry
as a lark; am I not ?'
‘No Eloise,’ she said looking earnestly into
the girl’s face, and putting her arm around her.
Suddenly, Eloise pressed her to her bosom.
‘No, Carrie,’ she said in a voice stifled with
tears. ‘ I am not happy. Iam miserable, bnt
I cannot tell you why. Do not ask me. I can
not tell you.’
‘Not confide in one who is your true, true
friend, dear Eloise?’
‘No, Carrie, not even in you, not even in my
own dear brother. I know you are my friend,
I do not fear to see it put to the proof as it may
be. Carrie, if any one tells you anything evil
of me, if it is ever said that I was unworthy
yonr friendship, do not believe it. Believe me,
when I tell you that my guilt proceeds from no
dishonorable thing I have ever done. Will you
believe that ?’
‘ Oh ! always. How could I doubt you, or be
lieve evil ot you ? I know you too well, dearest
friend. There, you have made me cry, and you
are making your own beautiful eyes red with
useless tears, just as I bear tb- sound of wheels,
that are most likely those of Mr. Bertram's bug
gy. Run up stairs and remove all traces of
tears, and dress for the evening. Mrs. Albers
has sent your things.’
It was Sydney and not Bertram who had
come. He met Anna in the hall and was told
by her that he would find Eloise and Carrie in
the library aDd he straightway, after throwing
off bis waterproof cloak, entered that apartment,
and looked round disappointed as he saw it
empty. On the floor beside the sofa lay a tiny,
thread cambric handkerchief. He picked it
up, a faint odor- of violet coming to bim, and
read the monogram, E. E., embroidered in a
corner. He put it to his lips, it was quite moist
He looked at it closely; surely there were traces
of tears. 'Can they be hers T he asked himself.
‘ Surely she has not been weeping. Why is my
darling so unhappy ? I must know what weighs
on her mind.'
Meantime, Eloise had gone np stairs and re
moved the signs of tears by a face bath of rose
water. Then she dressed herself in the suit
Mrs. Albens had s-.-nt her—a rich, heavy, gros
grain silk—her brother’s gift, ana made without
trimming, but trained and classically draped.
Mrs. Albers, had of her own accord, added a
coral sett and a fichu of real lace to the package
she sent. When these were added to that rich,
plain suit of black, perfectly fitting the exquis
ite figure, and 'ighted up with a spray of crim
son geranium, Eloise Ennis looked a picture of
elegance.
So thought Sydney Farman as he met her in
the hall.
Rainy weather has no effect on in-door flow
ers,’ he said, looking with ardent admiration
into her flower-like face. ‘ Miss Eloise, I have
braved the storms to get a quiet talk with you;
will you spare me an hoar ?’
He opened the library door as he spoke and
looked hurt as she hesitated. At last, bending
her head in answer, she went in, and suffered
him to lead her to a seat Sitting down near
her, he began to speak, his earnestness overcom
ing his timidity.
‘Miss Eloise,’ he said, ‘I believe you must
know what it is I wish to say to you. You must
have seen that I cannot be happy out of your
presence, and have understood the import of
my frequent visits. I would have spoken ear
lier, but feared to hear yon tell me that anoth
er had been before me; that yon were engaged
to one I bad every reason to believe was a sui
tor for your hand. Last night I received the
joyful assurance that this was not so, and I have
come now to tell you that I love you. Love seems
too weak a word to express the feeling I have
for you, my darling Eloise. I long to have the
privelege of working for you, sheltering and
shielding you with my strength and devotion.
Eloise tell me if I may hope to call you my wife.’
He Raw the tears start to her eyes, the blood
leave her cheeks; she trembled, but she did not
‘I wish not to agitate you by my precipitency,
my darling.’ Sidney went on, taking her hand
with tender respect, ‘my iove is as tender as it
is passionate, I wish to do you only good. I
would sacrifice my own happiness for you. Do
you not believe it?’
‘Yes, Sidney, I do believe it,’ she faltered,
•but—’
‘But what, my precious love? Do not tell
me any thing to break my heart.’
‘I mast tell you, I can never be yonr wife,
Sidney.’
•Never? Oh!Eloise, you do not mean it? I
know I am not worthy of you, yet I hoped.’
•You are more than worthy of me, dear friend.
Yon are as kind and true as yonr noble sister,
Carrie. If yon had told me this earlier, it might
have been different. I might have taken shel
ter in yonr love and been happy as I well know
you would have made yonr wife. But now, I
must not think of love or happiness any more.
Something has changed the current of my life,
I cannot tell you what it is. I can only ask you,
as I have done Carrie, to believe in me and
stand to me in heart, through evil as well as good
report. Will you do this, Sidney ?’
‘Miss Eloise, how could I turn against you ?
my heart is wholly vonrs. If you were to scorn
me, I should love you still.’
‘I shall never scorn you, I prize your friend
ship too highly.’
‘Sly love, my worship you mean. Then, why
will you not accept it and give me the supreme
joy of calling you mine?’
•Because that cannot be. One year from now
I will tell you why. Now I can only accept
your friendship. Lot me keep that, dear Sid
ney, let me think of yon as one who will never
fail me.’
Here, taking from her neck a small, delicate
gold chain, and breaking it in two; ‘Keep this,
Sidney, as a token of our bond of friendship,
and when 1 send yon the rest of this thread of
gold, understand it to mean that I need your
help, and wherever I am, come to me. Will
you ?’
It was a strange request, but she spoke and
she looked at him so earnestly, with such a sad,
deep meaning in her beautiful eyes, that be
hardly thought of the singularity of what she
had asked.
‘Eloise,’ he answered, with all bis soul in his
voice, ‘I will go to you, if you summon me, if
it be to the ends of the earth. Will you wear
this little ring I bonght for you, hoping you
might wear it as a sigu of our engagement ? You
leave me without that hope, but wear my ring
as a souvenir of the happy, hopeful days that
will come no more. May I put it on your fin
ger?’
‘She signed that he could, and taking her
little flower-soft hand in bis, he put the gold
band upon it.
‘I will wear it forever’ she said ‘or if I ever
return it, know some calamity has befallen me
and—’
‘And oome to help or comfort you ?’
‘Yes.’
‘I will remember. Do not return the ring
under any other circumstances. Keep it and
think of me when you look at it. I will not
banish all hope. I will wait and hide my time.
I cannot believe you are wholly unmoved by a
love like mine, Eloise, it is hard to think I am
to be nothing to you. Forgive me if I rebel
against it, my darling, my darling,' They had
risen, for both had heard, the sound of horses
feet and whirring wheels, and then the olick
of the gate. He caught her in his arms and
rained kisses on her forehead, her lips, her
dark-fringed eye lids. ‘Forgive me’ he mur
mured as he released her, ‘The memory of
those kisses is the only happiness I must
know.’
She turned from him, flashed and tearful,
and left by a side door as she heard Bertram’s
voice outside the door. Sydney stepped out
in the hall. ‘Wet as a fish you see Syd, cried
Eugene, unbuttoning his waterproof overall
‘Miss Anna ought to appreciate this visit’
‘Shed your wet garments and come into
mother's room. You will find Anna there. 1
think the others are in the parlor.’
Oa the way, they encountered Eloise. Her
chocks were still flashed with embarrassment.
What if he had seen Sydney’s impetuous caress.
The cold, disdainful bow he gave her made her
fear that he had. She went up stairs, and
threw herself on her knees by the bed. ‘ Oh! I
see only misery before me,’ she said in a voice
half Btifled with tears. ‘I have such good
friends, and I must lose them. The world's
charity will not spare me. I might have been
happy in a true, fond heart—but—’
She heard Carrie’s light step pause on the
threshold. She rose and met her friend.
‘ Dear Eloise, brighten up. Brother Syd sent
me to say the clouds are passing off and that
yon too must come out of your cloud. Come,
‘Shine out little head, running o'er with curls,
To the llowers and be my sun.’
Come, dinner is ready, let uie smooth your hair
a little, and give yonr face just a dainty touch
of this powder puff, now—’ They went down
as the merry music of the dinner bell filled the
house.
The family reunions were always pleasant at
the table and they lingered in conversation for
hours after the servants removed the dishes.
The ladies arose, leaving the gentlemen to enjoy
a cigar.
Soon they joined the ladies and the afternoon
passed swiftly away. The rain had ceased and
the sun was falling in long, slanting rays upon
the spangled grass when Fred and Susie made a
signal for departure. Then came the Southern
custom; they must all go into the Library and
have some tea, with dainty cakes and preserves.
Eugene and Eloise bad a much shorter dis
tance to go than had Susie, and they were beg
ged to remain until bed time. They yielded to
the general wish, and standing with the family
on the piazza, watched Fred drive off with his
cousin Snsie.
Sydney begged Eloise to come and look at
some roses, bright and sparkling after the rain.
‘Your cheeks were the color of these when
Bertram and I came upon you at the foot of the
stairs,' he said, ‘what caused your embarrass
ment?’
‘He looked at me so significantly I thought he
had seen or heard something of what we were
saying in the Library.’
‘He may have done so, but it was no mor
than he expected—I mean my declaration of love
to you. I told him last night I intended telling
you of my love.’
‘You did ? And he ?
‘He advised me to make the trial and gave me
bis best wishes for success.’
‘He was not sincere. Sydney don’t think
strange of my telling you to be on your guard in
in vour friendship with Eugene Bertram.’
‘Eloise, tell me, is he the cause of your un
happiness ?’
‘Don’t ask me,’ she said, ‘don’t speak of that
subject again, my friend. Thanks for these love
ly roses, I will keep them till they are quite
withered.’
They went back into the library, joining the
rest of the family and chatting there till ten
o’clock, when Eloise rose to say good night. She
shook hands with all, clasping Sydney’s hand
with a faint pressure he never forgot. Carrie
followed her to the gate and her good-bye to her
sweet music music-pupil was so passionate and
tearful that Carrie wondered much what it could
mean. It was like a farewell forever.

Written for the Boye and Girls of the South.
Queen Victoria
AND
TOM THUMB.
iFU^XL-iIFLO^-ID OTJIIDE -
BY MBS. M. LOUISE CROSSLEY.
No doubt many young readers of the Boys and
Girls had the pleasure of seeing General Tom
Thumb, two years ago, when he was making a
tonr through the South. The General is now an
elderly little gentleman, but when he was a very
vonng man he made his famous visit to Queen
Victoria and her court, at Buckingham palace.
More than thirty years ago, he was taken to Eu
rope by Barnnm, the great Museum man, and it
is from an old volume of his writings that I have
gleaned an account of the little General’s viSit to
the Queen. Says Mr. Barnnm:
‘I had been instructed by an officer of the
Queer’s household, that it was Her Majesty’s
request that I should Aiffi’er the General to ap
pear before her as he wjfad anywhere else, with
out any training in the titles of roya’ty, as she
desired to see him act naturally and without re
straint. On arriving at the palace, the Lord in
Waiting put me ‘under drill,' as to the manne
in which I was to leave the royal presence. I
was to ‘back out,’ keeping my face always to
wards Her Majesty; bnt how far one of my party
profited by the instructions, will presently ap
pear.
We were conducted through a long corridor
to a broad flight of marbleiteps, which led to
the Queen's superb pictnrevullery, and where
Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Dutchess of
Kont, and twenty or thirty of the nobility, were
awaiting our arrival. They were standing at the
farther end of the room when the doors were
thrown open, and the little General toddled in,
looking like a wax-doll gifted with the power
of locomotion. Surprise and pleasure were
depicted on the countenances of the royal
circle at beholding this mite of humanity,
so much smaller than they had evidently ex
pected to find him. Ha w >s in his court dress,
consisting of richly embroidered brown silk vel
vet coat and short breeches, white satin vest with
fancy-colored embroidery, white silk stockings
and pumps, wig, bag-wig, cocked hat, and a
dress sword.
The General advanced towards the royal party
with a firm step, and as he came within speak
ing distance made a very graceful bow, and ex
claimed, ‘Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen!'
A burst of laughter followed this salutation.
The Queen then came forward, took him by the
hand and led him ab^u-t tiqygvMery, while she
asked him many questions, the answers to which
kept the party in an uninterrupted strain of mer
riment. The General familiarly informed the
Queen that her picture gallery was ‘first-rate,’
and told her he would like to see the Prince of
Wales.
‘You shall see him,’ replied the Queen, leading
him to another part of the room; ‘General, this [
is the Prince of Wales.’ j
•How are you, Prince?’ said the General, shak
ing him cordially by the hand, and then stand- i
ing by the little royal heir, he remarked, ‘The I
Prince is taller than I am, but l feel as big as any- [
body,’—upon which he strutted up and down |
the room as proud as a peacock, amid shouts of |
laughter from all present. The Queen then in
troduced the Princess Royal—who was only four
years old—and the General immediately led her
to his elegant little sofa, which we took with us, •
and with much politeness sat down beside her. j
Shortly after, he went through his various
performances, dances, imitations, etc. The I
Queen desired the General Sb sing, and asked I
him what song he preierred tu sing.
•Yankee Doodle,’ was the prompt reply.
This answer was as unexpected to me as it was
to the royal party. When the laughter it occas
ioned somewhat subsided, the Queen good-hu
moredly remarked, ‘That is a very pretty song,
General. Sing it if you please. ’ The General
complied, and when we were about to retire, the
Queen handed him an elegant and costly pres
ent whiolr had been made for him by her order.
Upon receiving it, the General told her, ‘he was
very much obliged, and would keep it as long as
he lived.’
Upon ‘backing out’ from the royal presence
with the Lord in Waiting, I stepped rather fast
for the other member of the retiring party. We
had a considerable distance to travel in that long
gallery before reaching the door, and whenever
the little General found he was losing ground
he turned round and ran a few steps, then re
sumed the position of ‘backing out,’then turned
round and ran again, and so continued to alter
nate his methods of getting to the door, until the
gallery fairly rang with the merriment of the
royal spectators. It was really one of the richest
scenes I ever witnessed, especi.Vly the conclu
sion. Running, under the cifiAumstanccs, was
an offence sufficiently great to jttbite the indig
nation of the Queen’s favorite poodle dog, and
he vented his displeasure by barking so sharply
as to startle the General from his propriety. He,
however, recovered immediately, and with his
little cane commenced an attack on the poodle,
and a funny fight ensued, which roused and in
creased the merriment of the royal party.
This was near the door of exit. Wo had scarce
ly passed into the ante-room, when one of the
Queen’s attendants came to us with the express
ed hope of Hor Majesty that the General had sus
tained no damage, to which the Lord in Waiting
playfully added, that in case of injury to so re
nowned a personage, he should fear a declaration
of war by the United States.

A few months ago a number of ladies of high
rank in Warsaw formed themselves into a sort of
a club, with a view to diminish the extravagant
style at present in vogue in dress, and the high
prices paid for it, as well as to discountenance
the continued and ever-varying changes which,
introduced by modistes and dressmakers, are
without artistic value, and are generally devoid
of the elements of pictnresqueness and beauty.
The principal rules of the club are, first, that
no member should give more than a sum equiv
alent to five pounds for a morning dress, ten for
an evening dress, and one guinea and a half for
a bonnet. Second, that at each quarterly meet
ing every member shall be able to show some
useful achievement in writing, reading, drawing,
or needlework, with the great end in view of.
promoting the objects of the society in their ef- 1
