We rode into the wooded way ; Below us wide the shadow lay ; We rode, and meet the kneeling day ; We said, “It is too late.” “The sun has dropped into the west; The mountain holds him to her breast— She bolds and hushes him to rest, For us it is too late. * *To see the leaf take fire now. To see, and then to wonder how The glory pauses on the bough, WhJe panting grass-tops wait.” When, lo ! the miracle came on, A roadnide turn—a moment gone— And far the snn low lying shone ; The forest stood in state. Transfigured spread the silent space. The glamour leaped about the place, And touched ns, swept from face to face. We cried, “Not yet too late !” But one, who nearer drew than all. Leaned low and whispered : “Suns may fall Or flash ; dear heart! I speak and call Your soul unto its fate. 4 ‘Tread bravely down life’s evening slope ; Before the night comes do not grope !

It is a great pity that you were obliged to receive her into your house hold, Richard. Guardianship over a girl like Dorothea, was a great responsibility for a bachelor to assume.” “I suppose so,” was the reply, “but I could not refuse the dying request of a friend.’ “At first I entertained hopes that she would improve by remaining with us,’’said Mrs. Delmayne, plaintively, “but she is wilder than ever. I am kept in a perpetual state of nervous excitement, for I never know what madcap pranks she will play next. I thought it disgraceful enough when she donned a suit of Dick’s clothes and went out on the night of the skating- party, but this last is still worse, if possi ble.” ]VIrs. Delmayne folded her plump white hands and settled herself comfortably in a luxurious easy chair, and prepared to enjoy her favorite pastime, which consisted of retailing Dorothea's misdemeanors. “You ki^w Squire Ponsonby has been lookingfor a year or two—now . be ii k is respectably connect ed, and a very suitable match for Dora.” “Squire Ponsonby!” gasped Richard, in amazement, “he is old enough to be her grandfather, and has a married daughter who must be co.isiderably older than Dot.” “Well, Dora needs a husband who is steady and solier-minded, she is so flighty herself. Besides, he looks fully ten years younger than his real age. In my opinion it would be a very suitable match. But it is all over now,” she added, with a sigh, “he will never enter this house again.” In answer to Richard’s look of inquiry Mrs. Delmayne continued— “I invited Mr. Ponsonby to tea last even ing—I had my household duties to attend to after tea was over, so I left Dorothea to entertain him. She must have neglected him shamefully, for the poor man fell asleep, and the little huzzy seized the op portunity to play one of her practical jokes. She actually had the audacity to remove his wig and substitute an old red one that she found among the rubbish in the garret. The poor man did not discover the trick until he became the laughing stock of the village. Dick happened to hear of it this morning, and I thought you ought to be told about it.” “Ha, ha, ha!” laughed Richard. “I can imagine how ridiculous he must have looked, strutting along in his pompous manner. ” “I am certainly astonished at you, Rich ard,” said Mrs. Delmayne, severely. “I hope you don’t uphold the girl in her dis graceful conduct ?” “I shall of course reprove her,” he re plied. “Dot will improve as she grows older, I have no doubt; she is merry and thoughtless now, but I think she will de velop into a splendid woman.” become a step-mother to his five children. ” “Decidedly not,” he acquiesced, with a smile. “Then,” said Dot, with a despairing look on her saucy face, ‘T will not have old Pon sonby, and there is nobody left but—you.” Then, suddenly realizing the enormity of her heedless speech, she darted from the room. “Nobody left but me,” he mused. “I wonder 1 never thought of that. I believe I am rather fond of the little monkey, after all. IIow desolate the house would be without her! Not quite nineteen—just half my age ; I fear I am too old, but since she lias put the idea into my head, I think I'll try my fate.” The tea bell aroused Mr. Delmayne from his reflections. “I must mention this sub ject‘to Helen, when I have time,” he said. “Marry that forward little chit!” cried madame, in dismay, as Richard thus ruth lessly destroyed her air-castle. “Richard, you must be mad ! A man of your age to think of marrying when he lias such a com fortable home, and all his wants attended to. Should you take such a step, Richard, I am sure you will regret it. You will find a great difference with a careless, ignorant child at the head of the house-hold, for I shall not remain to be domineered over by a saucy, independent girl.” Dot stood by the window in the deepen ing twilight, awaiting her guardian, who had been absent several days on business. Suddenly she was aroused from a deep reverie by a well-known footstep, and she ran eagerly to the door to meet him. “Well, little girl, wlmt have you been do ing during my absence ?” he asked, as he seated himself before a glowing grate and wanned his chilly fingers. “Oh, dear!" cried Dot, “I have been shockingly bad. I can t remember one half the wickedness I have committed. You must apply to madame for details. But to business. Did you find a husband forme?” “Yes," answered her guardian, compos edly, “but whether you will be suited re mains to be seen.” “I suppose I shall be compelled to marry him whether I am suited or not,” replied Dorothea, merrily. “Not by any means," answered Mr. Del mayne, gravely. “Oh, that is very commonplace. You are not at all like the cruel guardians in books, who compel their wretched wards to marry the men they select for them. I am quite disappointed.” “Oh, vdry well,” said he, “if you wish me to assume the role of a tyrant, I will do so with pleasure.

And so it would go from morn ing till night. But little sister Bess had a somewhat dif ferent way with stubborn Tom. Bess seemed to understand that coaxing was better than driving ; and sometimes, when he sat with both hands plunged in his pockets, Bess, with a book or picture, would nestle down lieside him, and almost before he knew it, one hand would be pat ting her curls, while the other turned the leaves or held the pictures. *If she chanced to see his feet on the window-sill, she would say, “Just try my ottoman, Tom, dear, and see how comfortable it is to the feet; ” and though Tom occasionally growled in a good natured waj r about it being too low, the All! did I?

J ust as madame's silken skirts rustled up stairs, the hall door flew open and light footsteps danced along the passage. “Dot! Dot!” called Mr. Delmayne. The appellation exactly suited the young girl who entered. A dainty form, a dark, piquant face lighted up with a pair of black eyes, which sparkled with mischief. “NVcll, Mr. Delmayne!” she said, with a saucy smile, which revealed a dimple in each soft pink cheek, “what is it, a lec ture ?” “Yes, Dot, I really must lecture you. Your conduct to Mr. Ponsonby was very unlady-like. ” “1 can't help it, sir; I hate old Ponson by ! and I am confident that Mrs. Delmayne invited him here to make love to me, so I resolved to frustrate her kind intentions.

The way it is done is this: A lady rushed breathlessly up to the counter, and, while waiting lor the saleswoman, begau to claw over every box within her reach, just to get an idea of styles. Presently a young lady snatches an opportunity from a fat, fussy customer to ask what she wanted. “Thank goodness, you have come at last,” said the purchaser; “I have been standing here an hour.

Two girls, daughters of an Elglish country doctor, were once out for a walk together. It was an autumn af ternoon, sunny and pleasant. They were accompanied by their little dog, named Jack, who was a clever little terrier, and more than once had proved his claim to be considered, as indeed he was, their protector while outwalking. Their father often said he felt “quite happy when Jack was with them; he was sure no harm could come to them.” l’he two girls pursued their walk mer rily. The fine afternoon tempted them to go further than they ought, howev er, and by the time they turned the lusk had fallen, and they were afraid they would be late for tea. One ol them proposed to take a short cut througe a wood with which they were well acquainted, having often gathered blackberries in it on a summer after noon. The other agreed, and so they arrived at the edge of the wood and prepared to enter it. “All the same time l am rather afraid,” said Dora, the younger of the two; “there have been several robberies in the neighborhood, and I saw some very odd-looking men pass our door to-day, besides, I am wearing my new watch which papa gave me on my birthday.” “Oil, non- sence!” her sister replied. “It is near ly six o’clock now; and we ehall be late. Be sure no one will wish to harm us.” “I wish I were as certain as you are. But what’s the matter with Jack?” Just as she had said this, Jack advanced toward them, and*plant ing himself in the middle of their path, sat down and whined. “That is odd,” :-aid Dora. “I never remember him Joing that before.” The other girl de rided her fears, and attemjited to pass per day, and you have to put in no cap- warm to be comfortable.
