Bread-and-Cheese and Kisses.
One day, wften I came home fatigued,
And felt inclined to grumble,
Because my life was one of toil,
Because my lot was humble,
I sidid 16 Kate, my darling wife,
In whom my whole life’s bliss ia,
“What have you get for difleet, Kite ?”
“Why bread-and-cheese and kisses.”
Though worn and tired, my heart leaped up,
As those plain words she uttered,
Why should I envy those whose bread '
Than wine’s Wore thickly buttered ?
I said, “We’ll have desert at once.”
“What’sthat?” she asked. “Why this is.”
I kissed hcf. Ah, wbat sweetet feieAl
Than “bread-and-cheese and kisses?”
I gazed at her with pure delight )
She nodded and smiled gaily ;
I said, “My love, on such a mekt
I’d dine with pleasure daily.
When 1 bat think of yon, dear girl,
I pity those fine misses
Who turn their noses up and pout
At bread-and ‘ch'cese and kisßes.
“And when I look on your dear form
And on your face so hotfiely )
And when I look in your dear eyes,
And on y’out dress So dJmely ;
And when I hold id thy arms,
I laugh at Fortune’s misses.
I’m blest id You, content with yon,
And b'rcad-and-cheese and kisses.”
Self-Reliance.—The first thhig
you want to learn, to develop vVliat
force is in you, is self-reliance; that
is, as regards your rpldtioH to man.
If I were going to give a formula
for developing the most forcible set
of men, I would say, turn them up
on their own resources, with moral
and religious truths, when they are
boys, and teach them to “ depesid
on self and not on father.” l£ a
boy is thrown upon hid <iwh re
sources at fiftechj with the world
all before hlfii where to choose, and
he fights the battle of life single
handed up to manhood, and don*t
develop more than an average share
of executive ability, then there is no
stuff in him worth talking about.
He may learn to u plow, and sow,
and reap, and mow,” but this can
only be done with machines and
horses, and a man wants to be bet*
ter than either of these. Wipe out
of your vocabuidry every such word
as fail, give up wishes for improba<
ble results, put your hah£ to the
plow, or whatever todl take to,
and then drive on, and never look
back. Don’t eVen sight yodf per
son to see if it is Straight; don’t be
consistent) but be simply true. If
you go out to “ sec a i-eijd shaken
by the wind,” it is pretty likely you
will never see any thing of more
consequence.

Dared and Defeated.
BY MIRIAM MABLIXG'.
“You will meet Walter Sutton
at The Roses. Enter iii no rivalry
with him.”
This wajs the postscript of my
father’s letter, And the one cloud in
the bright horizon of my hopes.
I Was twenty-three years old,
just released from college, a little
pale an'd Weary with study, and
bound for that paradise of the earth,
my widowed sister Margaret’s home
—The Roses. I WAS to spend the
summer with Mag, and the pros
pect had been one of intimate de
hght. But now I heard that Sut
ton was tn'efe.
This Walter SAtton was A young
er brother of Mag’S deceased hus
band, a millionaire’s SoAj and Pari
sian by education.
At t’Wehty he had. been familiar
with the Mabille. At twenty-six
hb Was pronounced the handsomest'
atad most dissipAfe'd man in London,
&hd now, a year later, I was to have
his companionship for thb summer,
At the ho'Use of m.y Bistfer, Mrs. Mar
garet Sutton.
The man always had fascination
for me, white I despised him. His
Apollian beauty, his knowledge of
the world, his coolness* daring and
fearlessness, I regarded with win
der. But I had Sense enough to
weigh these againfct his cVfitsm, his
blackened reputAtibn) and his ra
kish manner, which told his tale of
unhappiness, and to keep quietly on
my way, liiibnViduA bf .his success.
At the time I went tb The Kolbs I
was, moreover, less liable to impure
influences, for I had just lost the
noblest and Cf tiiotbers.
It is true I did not relish meeting
W alter Sutton, but I was hbt one
to borrow trouble. It was June
weathet; ‘‘green and blue were
glad together,” And I was free.—
My horse arched his beautiful neck,
and trotted slowly and proudly
along the road, while I looked
across the sunny fields, watching
for the first sign of my sister’s
mansion trees rustling, floWefs
blooming, birds singing aCOUflid hie.
Suddenly I saw a carriage Whirling
in advance of me; t reCt%nifed
the man on the boi, and sburred
forward.
gAinbd it. The stately lady
Within it looked up, threw aside
her sable Veil, and cried, “Lewis !”
;;Ar-ou borne, Maggie ?”
“I am you.”
‘ At that moment I became oon
scious of the earnest gaze of a pair
of golden brown eyes. 3vty Sister
was not alone ,ip the carriage, A
young girlvVlth Her lap fiili of water
liuesj and a large straw hat shading
the fairest and loveliest of faces,
sat beside her. IVe looked inquir
ingly at each other; but for dnbe,
my admirable sister forgot tiie de
mands of society. Ih her pleasure
lit Seeing me she omitted tnb intro
duction, and leaning From her seat
she questioned me eagerly regard
ing occurrences at home. She had
not been there since my mother’s
funeral had taken place in the win
ter.
Suddenly a light phaeton whirled
by tis, the driVter of. which lifted
His hat as he passed, giving a pierc
ing look into the carriage. I fol
lowed it, and I fancied I ed# the
young girl’s hand, trembling among
the lilies on her lap.
“You know Walter is with us,
Lewis ?” remarked Margaret, a lit
tle cloud dil her face.
“Yes, he is looking Well.”
“lie always lt ! oks well,” said
Mag., significantly.
We were entering the avenue. —
Two splendid rose trees guarded
the gate. The rustic trellises held
an arch of blossoming vines above
their Heads. I ijuestioned Mag as
to the garden;
“My gardeners say that they
have been very successful this year.
I think I appreciate the roses more
than usual this year, for Alice en
joys them so much;”
My sister turned as fthfe, spoke,
with a fend smite for tHe girl at her
side) Aiid then i’eiiienibered to say,
“Alice, this is my brother Lewis.—
Mr. Verner, Miss Lee.”
So those golden brown eyes came
up to mine again, and my look of
admiration Was rewarded with a
smile* fid sweet that I iHeti Alid
these fell in love With its OvVher.
We drove through plouds of per.
fume to the dooE There were la
dies aria gentlemen ripon the broad
terrace.
“I have other guests)” said Mar
garet aside.
I had met sOme bf them before
—all nice ptedple. The summer
promised to bte gay. I knew that
I was Very happy that .evefljttg sing
ing with Alice Lee. But there Was
an evil influence in the house. I
soon felt it. Sutton’s wealth and
extravagAribte bred a spirit of envy
amohg the yoring then. His sneer
ing smile blighted our pure and
simple and it exaspera
ted the masculine portion of the
company to observe the influence
this Mephistopheles had bvter the
beautiful; innocent, romaritic girls
whoni they Id fed; These were
those of the tiieti whom ke sediifced
at the start. They copied feis vices
m lefe that! thTee weeks. Then
followed dissatisfaction arid heart
ache among men and worifeti.
But I, who fnM the first declin
ed to play cards and dririk in Sui
te ri’S room, felt uhcontaihiqated,
and ffeb to seek, thAt priceless .treas
ure in life, a pure woman’s love; ,
I tried to please Alice Lee, arid
succeeded. In July we were cu-
gaged. And then I just began,'to
understand g'bo'd. and sweet
my darling was. I remember that
I came home from fishing one day,
with a face ntearly blistered by the
sun. Alice in her cool white dress,
with violet ribbon at the throat,
peeped out the door at me as I
came up the garden where I had
delivered the spoils of the day into
the hands of Mag’s cook-, and held
up her pretty hands ih mock hor
ror. In truth, I was something of
a spectacle, with my white suit illu
minated with the juice of straw
berries—the thrttst into
the legs of muddy hoots—plenti
fully besprinkled with dust of coun
try roads, and fiercely sunburnt. —
But I had been gone all day, and 1
Alice made up A facte to kiss me.
“No,” said I, “I will excuse you,
since I have a blistered nose, and I;
am covered with dflst.” • . 1
I-was quite in earnest, and tried
to hold her off, fearing her delicate
dress would get soiled if she totteh- j
ed me; but she \Vchl her way to |
my breast, rubbed a little place on
my forehead with her embroidered
handkerchief, kissed the spot, and
laughed in my eyes.
“Dear Lewis,” she said, “It is
you, and I’m not afraid of dirt that;
will wash off.”
The merriment softened in her
lovely face.
“Lewis,” she said sdftly, ‘-don’t
think I love you fob your clothes,
or yoflr boteplexion, or whiskers,
which all the girls admire; but be
cause you are good and true, and I
feel that I can trust you. Do you
know what made me love you at
first?”
I shook my head.
“Because all Sutton’s wiles to
draw you over to his side, failed.
You admire honesty and purity,
and have maintained thteiii so nobly,
that I honor and adniife yott. If
you were a blacksmith, I’d rtiarry
you and live in a hovbl.”
And with her beautiful eyes
sparkling with tease; my darling
huggted, me, and then pushed me
off; and then fen away to hide how
she was crying.
Blissfully happy I &thmbled up
stairs, plunged ihto a bath, and di
vested myself oi all stains of earth.
Blit Vvhen I went into my dressing
room, I perceived the perfume of
Sutton’s cigars. They were of a
peculiar brand, and no one smoked
them but himself. He was sitting
in the south pdrtibo, t?lose to .the
door wherfe t had met Alicte: How
long had he been there ?
My hand trembled as I brushed
my hair. Should I have been
ashamed of it ? I think ridt: Sut
ton had a reputation of taking hor
rible revenges, and I had so much
to lose.
But after a moment, I braced
myself mentally and physically, and
sat down to read. I was too tired
to go down stairs. But fumes of
that cigar seemed to have got into
my head ; the page was hazy and
indistinct: I could see nothing so
plainly as Sutton’s Greek profile
and hyacynthine hair; and suspec
ting I was ill* I at length threw
down thti Volume, and went to bed
by starlight.
I was ill tot a fortnight with A
ldw nervous fever. My valet took
me ih charge, but Alice .came ih
every day with Margaret, and did
me more good -with ten minutes
petting, than Eugene’s most patient
attention accomplished the whole
day. She kept flowers at my bed
side) and stretched proprieties to
the utmost to See me. At first her
smiling eyes by my pillow were
delicious; but one day I saw she
regarded me in a troubled, wistful
way, and afterwards I discovered
that she was growing pale;
“What is thte matter, tell me,
pet,” I said-.
“Oh, you get well so slowly,”
she said) A tfenSieut flush on her
delicate cheek.
I did not dream what persecu
tions she was undergoing white I
lay there, but she would not Wdri-y
me with any complaints; kfeve
faithful, loVely heart.
I wafi nferly Well at last—sat up
all day in triy room, and sent word
to my fHeiids beloW that I would
be with them the following day.
At midnight the radience of the
moonlight awoke me from a ‘deep
sleep. I fcbuld never sleep ifi a
room flooded With the light ’df the
moon. I arose; thfeW bn my dress
ing gown and Was preparing to
clpsethe shutters, when I distinctly
perceived the pungerit odor of chlo
roform.
’Now if I had been in the body of
the house, 1 should have decided
that some unfdrtunate person
among its inmates had experienced
a midnight attack of tooth-ache,
but there wefe ho chambers in the
sbuth Wing but Alice Lee’s and
miite. Every pearly tdoth in her
rosy mouth was perfectly Sound, I
knew—so I was puzzled. The hext
revelation was the propinquity bf a
horse’s neigh.
Thte hbrses belonging to thb hoiise
wefe, oi* ought to have been at a
distance from the house in A Well
locked stable This horse—hay,
two of them, arid an elegant phtetdn,
I could see at the front gate. At
first I did nbt recognize the equip
age. But I was impressed to be
lieVe there was something Wrong.
A lark of Brittons Set, I described
it to be, when I at length recog
nized the carriage. I dfessed and
sat ddiVa by the window; tfetcHing
tlite horses toss their heads under
the lafehes, their silver trappings
glittering ill the moonlight;
Suddenly Sutton ivent walking
rapidly doivu the ivalk bearing
something in his nr ms;, Wrapped: in
a cloak. It might have been the
figure of a corpse for any life or
motion it appeared ,t<( have. He
sprung into the carriage, placed
himself so as to support his burden,
gathered up the reins and whirled
rapidly away.
The instant he was gone, a hor
rible suspicion broke over me. I
sprang up arid rushed downstairs.
Th’e chamber in which Alice slept
Avas full of the scent of chloroform,
the window was open, and a long
glass door leading directly irito the
garden. There was chloroform
among the roses. Alice was riot
there!
If. an oath ever my lips
it did then. -Htevet’ thinking to
alarm the house, I rushed into the
stable, expecting to find the hostler
awake. But no—the man was
sleeping soundly in his loft. Sut
ton’s horses had not been stabled
that night, apd only >doleat be-,
leaguerment brought him down.
Bridling the fleetest and fiercest
horse in the stable, I sprang bare
back upon him, and tore out upon
the trail.
The long road leading over the
hill stretched white and empty be
fore fee; brit by that way he must
have gone.
My noble black flew afte?, snort
ing lire from the stones.
The birds were twittering all
along the way. I noticed that, and
knew I could not be far behind him.
Suddenly I heard the click of a
carriage wheel. The next nidirient
I pulled up* for the f orid diVerted;
one path lay over a steep Mi, the
other entered the Wtkids.
I was close upon him; I was sure
of that, but I bould not decide
whether hri had gorie Over , fee hill;
or entered the woods, which looked
dark and murderous enough. If I
made a mistake he would escape;
Just then I heard a cry —-a Wdriian’s
piercing shriek. My heart leaped
up; I plunged into the woods.—
That was the Avay.
It was Harrow Arid difficult, and
I knew he had taken it in hope to
escape me. He must have heard
the thunder of my horse’s hoofs
behind in the road. We bounded
under the boughs. Soon I saw the
carriage ahead. It rolled rapidly
along, yet swayed heavily on its
springs as if badly driven.
I shouted “Stop!”
The next moment a pistol shot
whizzed by me. I could make out
the figure of Sutton standing in
the carnage; for a moment In my
reckless speed the bough of a tree
struck me in the face. But I heed
ed nothing until I was bteSide the
phmtori. Siittdn aVA6 ttdl in it, but
my darling, all Wild and white,
stfetehteQ but her hands to me. My
horse, in spite of his speed, Avas
manageable. I galloped close to
their hteads and contrived to stop
the flying bays.
“Where is Sutton?” I asked;
He fell or sprang out, I dd tibt
know which; Oh, Lewis* Safe toe
from him!”
“You have nothing to fear ridW;”
I ans\fered. “My darling be brafe;”
Though mdtofentarily expebtirig
a ball through my head, I fastened
my horse to the back of tfib bril'-
fiage, got in, and turned fee heads
of the horses. They were All White
with foam, but obeyed the fein
without much excitement. I Whip
ped Alice more carefully ih the
cloak, and guided swiftly toward
home; *
Suddenly the bays ewbhfed, and
seemed to leap over some Object in
fee road, and irifitantly tnb carriage
passed over some obstruction. Al
ice’s wild eyes flashed, tneir terror
into mine; a sickeriiiig thought
passed over me. Reining in the
horses I leaped out Os the vehicle,
and retraced toy Way for a few
steps. Something lay dark among
the lteavtes; It was the corpse of a
dead man—thri dead body of Wal
ter Sutton;
He had been Unrig from the car
riage. It is not probable that he
attefeptbd id escape, for he was
heavily armed, and Avould have
sooner taken my life than have
been defeated.
He had probably driven rife? a
stump oi- log, arid bteeii . fefeWp to
the ground; and I haft ricldeh bfer
him twice! There was a hoof mark
on his forehead And thfe Wheels
passed directly over his breast.*—
But that fine, scornful smile Was on
his lips, as I gazed at the deAft face
in fee moonlight, as if; teferi in
death, he cherished his revettge,
aud Avas yet confident of encom
passing it. But the abduction
which he had dared; he had keen
defeated in; and hAMy in our mar
riage; Alice and I liAd no fear of
the dcAd.
A young irian who baifited a
collection plate ih service; Before
starting, took frbrti his jpockbi a
five cent price; As lie mit
it on the plate; and then passed it
round among the congregatioh,
which included iriany young girls'.
The girls, as they looked at fee
plate, all seemed astonished and
amused, and the young man, tdkirig

They Are musical whether read or

miliar as “Ring the Bell Softly.”j
O Birdie! I am tired nriw
I do not care to hear you sing :
You've sung yorit soiags all ’(fay—
Now put your Head beneath your wiug.
I’m sleepy, too, as I can be;
And sister, when my prayer is said', i
I want to lay me down to rest.
So put rife iu »y little bed.
b sister what did mother say
When she was called to heaven away ?
She told me always t 6 be good,
And never 1 , ncVer go astray.
I can’t forget tie day she died :
She placed her hand upon my head,
And whispered softly, “Keep my child;”
Add theft they told me she was dead.
Dear sister, come and hear my srayer,
Now, ere I lay me down to sleep
Within my heavenly Father’s care,
While angels tVifet Iheir vigils keep.
And let rile ask, of him above,
To keep rtf Soul in patls of right *.
On I let rife thank him for bis love
Kre t shall say my last “good-night”
How a Boy Wakes rip’.
’there he lies ih. tils crib; a nut
brown strib of fo'ur years. He
sleeps the sleep of healthy child
hood. In the same position he lay
when hte dropped off into uncon
riirittsriess, one arm under his head,
one leg kicked out from undef the
coverlet. He is perfectly ril'd lib n
less. His rriund cheek pillows it
self on the extended ftrni; And his
leg seems tb hAvte pferi arfested in
the middle of fete last restless kick,
As fete hbrtAiri fell over his blue
eyes Arid he was asteep; He is ih A
deejj sleep. You can scarcely per
ceive fete regular respiration. A
train of cars thundered by without
notice—he might be carried across
the strept without awakening
A healthy boy, sound asleep, is
an interesting object. Particularly
if he is your boy. For the time,
his trerileridbriS (energies are at rest.

It is mofelng. Daylight streams
into the Avindbws, the sun shineg
ori thh hill-tops. The sounds of
stiring life are beginning to be
heard about the house. Watch the
boy. Still as motionless as a fig
.ure of marble. As you look; the
gates of sleep are suddenly lirildfik
ed. He is aifeke in 'a twinkling—
awake all bfefi:
His bltle byes are wide bpen and
bright, his lips drift Auth a shoilt,
hlfi tegfi ny ont in different direc
tions, his arms are in rapid motion,
he flops over with a spring, in ten
seconds he has turned a couple of
summersaults, and presents before
you a living illustration of perpet
ual motion. There 18 dd deliberate
yawning, «o slow #tfetching of in
dolent limbs, no lazy rubbing of
sleepy eyes, no turning over for
just another snooze, no’ gradflAfly
