BY A
Jh twilight fulls o'er my head,
It remiuds me of years that are pas/ ;
And briugs night, like death, so near,
iriiich / know will come at last.
1-ife is a long, long - road to me,
When 1 view it in sorrow’s light,
But wlitn 1 schu its joy and mirth,
It seems brief as a summer’s night.
As / sit in the twilight here,
-4nil the lone bird sings in the wild,
Memory wanders back to the days
•When the gray headed man was a child.
To inuoecnt child hood's ha;>py hours—
The little friends and schoolmates dear,
That time has scattered o’er the world,
And parted them for many a year.
The days I remember well,
When steadfast friends I made;-
1 loved them all with youthful pride,
And thought they’d never, never fade.
Hut, as we journey’d on through life,
Our sports wc all forgot ,
And sought, amid the worldly throng,
A richer, foreign spot.
Aow r .7know not one of them ;
The few that are on the earth,
Are far awav o'er land nud sea,
And care not for their boyish mirth.
If twilight passes o’er like years,
In its deep dusk, then 1 should smile;
For life once more, I’d have to tread,
If ere 1 again a little child.
And now the days are o’er and gone,
I would not cull them bach;
No; life’s weary path is far too long
To wish again to course its trace.
All that claimed my heart on earth- -
Those darling ones, that made me “we,”
Arc sleeping now—their last long sleep,
beneath the graveyard tree.
ITliy, then, should 1 wish to stay.
Friendless and lonely here below :
When all the forms I loved are cold.
And long since gone before.
When evening shades rest on my head,
And kiss my wrinkled brow,
A voice whispers “Peace 1 best old man,
7here is no sorrow now.
Thy journeying here is done at lust;
Care on earth shall be mor.e ;
For soon we’ll near thy soul away
To a realm of bliss—a happier shore.”
Perhaps the young oft' pity me,
ylnd look on me with rising tears ;
Ah ! my heart o#t sigh« for them,
but for itself it has no fears.
For-all the dangers here, by me,
J feel are safely pass'd ;
,-fnd I’ve the gift, the priceless gift,
A home in heaven at last.
•Youth musttroau tlic same old road,
Wi h all its cares and strife :
While mine are ended her below—
The old man now is done with life.

The Stolen Portrait.
There was once a poor peasant,
named Pierre Arnot, who dwelt near
Arles, in the South of France, together
with his wife and little daughter called
Pauline. This little girl at ten years
of ago was not of.ly exceedingly love
ly in person but was gifted with a
voice w liich was the delight of all who
heard it —so s\\ eot; so clear and so
powerful were its tones. And when
the good priest took her into the vil
lage choir, persons li'om tho neighbor
ing hamlets and even from Arles,
would coino purposely to hear her
sing. Yet no persuasion or represen
tation could induce Pierre to pari with
his little grand daughter; for tho pur
pose of having her educated for the
opera. Pierre, tho’ practically know
ing nothing of the world beyond his
own neighborhood, knew something
of the trials and temptations that be
set stage singers and actresses, and
| not for ail tho riches or fame taut
might thereby be brought, would he
lmvo subjected, his little Pauline—his
pretty treasure, his home’s sunshine —
to such an ordeal.
Ono day there came two (rangers
very fine, and polite gentlemen, they
seemed to Piern‘ and his w tie to ne
gotiate lor the little girl. They would
j educate, lier and treat her hLe a lady ,
! they would guard her as though 6he
were a princess; they would pour into
Pierre’s hands- uncounted gold it he
would only couscut to let tiletu. tako
Pauline and educate her as a public
singer. But Pierre was deaf to all
entreaties, and the little girl herselt
was sorely frightened at the idea of
I leaving her dear grand parents and
the humble vine-wreathed hut in
! which she had dwelt since her birth.
| y;,, the negotiations for the Theatre
Koyale went away disappointed a*d
i Lt sonic weeks after, as little Paul
! i ue stood leaning upon the crazy wiek
! t , r gate, gazing dreamily, at. the rose
tinuul clouds which the sunset had
j lclt (for the little child loved all beau
j tiful sights and sounds) softly andlotv-
Ij v from the meadows below came the
' round of music and the sweetest and
j most fairy-like music that she had ev
er heard. At first she fancied it must
I come from the clouds, so seruphically
| soft and dreamy was it; and then she
1 advanced a few steps and then listen-
o A a nd advanced again, and finally
her little bare feet wont tripping
through the grass and duu. m quest
of the mysterious sounds. And this
■ toa.to.y4B
; U re in its white peasant s dre,s. lit up
, the rosy halo of a summer sunsei
I I —was the last glimpse that the gooc
'’old grandmother calling aftei hei
r j from the cottage fence ever had of he;
* 1 little Paulino. , ,

I tlo girl had bec-n enticed away hy fa.
.“J* And this belief grew into pop
ulaf tradition ps vtiar aftor year pass
ed, and nothing more v.-tu seen a
; heard of Paulino Arnot.
Those years had % hrought sad clnin
; gos to good PiorrtJ. His wife wa:
j dead, no was alone in the world, in
firm and unable to war or indued, tc
; do anything hut play on his violin
which he did with marvelous shill, foi
j a talent for music was inherent in tin
| family, 110 had to sell his little cot
j fijge ; and then without a house tc
j shelter him, and too proud to accop
! unrequited charity, ho took his violin
in hand, and set forth in his old ag*
to earn a precarious livelihood by play
ing from town to town. ’ And at length
I came to England and, after vainly try
ing his fortune in the streets of Lou
! don proceeded to the- SSfcnmtry amont
| whose green fields and shadowy lanes
tho country-bred old matt felt more at
home.
One day ho stopped at a small vil
! Upsh'nm. Observing i
I shopTyhere bread and cheese and bee:
were Sold lie entered and "humbly, ir
his broken English requested to b<
‘favored’ with soino of them. The
keeper of the shop, a good looking
kind-hearted dame-, set before him the
desired refreshment, and as lie ate
half famished, she marked his poet
clothing, and infirm appearance and
the careworn look of his face, and
gradually chew nut Jtis whole history
It was with bitter sorrow that lu
dwelt upon the disappearance of his
liftle Pauline, lie had but one me
morial of her, he said—a portrait ol
her mother, taken when the latter wat
a. girl of eighteen, by a young travel
ling artist whom the cottagers had
nursed through a dangerous illness.
The miniature the young man had
painted and left, with a token of his
gratitude; and this poor Pierre had
brought with him from hornet, and
wore constantly in the bosom of his coat.
He now drew it forth and showed it tc
tho sympathizing hostess. It was, lie
said, a good likeness of Pauline’s
mother, but far more resembled the
little girl herself at the time slio wa
stolen by the- fairies.
The kind heart of tin; woman was
touched.
“1 can get you a good job, friend,'
she said, ‘if you will remain here un
til to-morrow night. Jrir John Bol
ton’s second son Arthur, Captain Bol
ton, of the clrngooiw, was married
last week, and to-morrow they and
their guests go to a grand entertain
ment given them at (Skidmore Park :
and the servants of Sir John s (that’s
his place. Moorlands, that you sec
away yonder) are to hove a ball oi
their own to-morrow night in celebra
tion of tire marriage, and it was only
to-day that Pierre, the captain’s own
man was down to the village, inquir
ing for old Luke lpxt r tho fiddler.
Now Luke’s got a fit of the rheuma
tism, and they’ll be glad to have you
iu his place, if you’re a good hand at
your instrument: and they’ll pay you
well,for the job. W hat sac you '! ill
go over at once, and speak to neigh
bor Brown who will let him know.
Pierre had no objection, and having
made an exhibition of Lis skill in the
presence of neighbor Brown, to the
entire satisfaction of that lady, the re
port was made and the bargain wa
completed. »
Tiie old violinist found tho evening
at the Moorlands a very pleasant one.
His performance was greatly applaud
ed ; the butler the steward, and othei
great distinguished personages, were
condescending, and the iv t gracious
and attentive to Ids wants. Captain
Bolton’s own man took him up stair.-:
with one or two other favored person
ages, in order that he might have n
sight of the splendidly furnished sail
of rooms that had been prepared lot
tho newly married pair, and so bo en
abled ‘to toil in Pruned how such
things were done in Lin gland.’
“It’s fit for a bride, even if she wn;
| the Princess Royal herself, ’ observed
one of tho favored admiringly.
“And hi'ta sure that biessit Princess
couldn’t be more deservin’ of hit than
1 my ladyY ’ said tho captain’s man loft
j ily.” ‘She’s tho beautifulost lady hi
J hover set hoyos hen. She bought tc
| been a born Princess hinstead of :
| foreign lady of good family, lial:
| which his deceased.’
; Aiul with the utterance ol this opin
ion, the group descended, and in din
! time the company broke up.
j On the day following, Pierre was
about again setting forth, on his wan
-1 derings, when ho was surprised by a
, visit Horn tSir John Bolton’s balilf, in
I company with tw o personages, armed
| witli very official looking clubs. Their
I business yvas soon told.
They had come to arrest the Fr ench
! violinist oil suspicion ot having appro
! printed the miniature of Airs. Bolton,
I the bride of Captain Arthur, which
the latter had caused to bo taken and
richly 6ot in diamonds. It had been
left by the captain on Bis dressing ta
j ble, and being missed upon their re
i turn from ihiadmore Park, and the
i captain’s man questioned thereupon,
! the latter had been foiced to coldest
1 as to his introduction ot the visitors
into his masters apartments. Where
upon each of these has been arrested,
the violinist among them, and wen
now taken to Moorlands for oxamiua
tion before Sir </ohn and a magis
trate.
Pierre was the last called upon am
ns ae be.rayed some unwillingness U
j having his pocsets and yvailot search
1 i ed, the constable proceeded to do it
and drew- forth a dingy and won
leather case, which he first gianoed a
' ami then held up triumphantly belort
‘ j Sir John.
j “It’s the picture of Mrs. Captau
• Bolton, as you see, yenr honor,” hi
• said; “only the dimants has boo:
picked ont. by this ’ere jjd rogue, who’
no doubt hid em somewhere*, and tin
- 1 painting been’ put in this old frame,
r j (Sir John examined it attentively.
“It is doubtless the portrait of Mrs
- Arthur Bolton, my daughter-in-law,’
s i ho said, in Lis formal Way: “yet cai
- not bo tin l same that, was lost, judgin;
i from tho stylo of painting.”
, And he handed the picture to hi
r son.
'■ Tito latter examined it, ut first wit!
■ surprise, and then with ah exprossiot
> of curiosity and bewilderment.
t ‘lt is Surely the portrait of nty wi f’e,
i he remarked; ‘yet, as you say, sir, i
» is not tho one that has been lost. Tin
■ painting is much inferior, tho ares
i different, and oven tho expression i,
- not tho same. When*- dirt you gt

; tinuod, turning to Pierre, aud. speak
ingin French.
‘lt is the portrait of my daughter
Monsier,’ replied the violinist, “an,,
was taken more than twenty year:
' a S°‘’
Captain Bolton to his father. “Ya
how wouderously like.
‘Pauline ? repeated Pierre, turnluj,
suddenly to the speaker; and thoi
adding dreamily, as if to himself, ‘Ah
it was tike Paulino—my iittW Paul
ine.’
Hurried and eager questioning fol
lowed on both sides.
‘There is no doubt of it, ’ said Cap
tain Bolton, at length, grasping tin
old musician’s hand. “You are I’iorrt
Arnot, my w ife’s grandfather, of wlion
sho has so ofte# spoken. She told nn
all she could remoniber'of her earl\

ious to find you, but hud unfortunatelj
forgotton the name of tire place whence
sho came. How glad she will bo
And for myself, old friend, I am glad
also thus to have found you. ’ ■
Thereupon tho young wife was in
formed of the nows, and soon entered
tho room, Hushed and eager. Oiie
glanco between the two was sufficient,
fu eight years Pierre hail but little
changed, and though the graceful,
beautiful creature before him steed in
woman’s 'stature,, and arrayed In silk
and jewels, yet the eyes of the old man
easily recpeiuzyd.tJie sweet' tax'", 4 the
golden hair, and large luminous eyes
of his darling. And the joy aiul ten
derness of that meeting who may de
scribe ?
Little Pauline had boon niliect
away out of sight of her home, not b’
fairies, but by Lcclerk’s inimitabh
j flute-player, whom the clover “nego
! eiuteurs” before mentioned had take!
j tho trouble to- bring all tiro wav froh
Paris for this special purpose. Ani
! then they had fitted her into a dost
j carriage in waiting, so gaining posses
siou of tho prize which they had fails..
'to purchase with gold. They hac
j however, kept their promise to tin
j grandfather, and Pauline had beet
well educated, aud treated and trough
up ‘Hike a lady,” as they said sin
j should bo. And her beauty, her ac
I com, lislmients, aud refinement, hat
j won the heart of Captain Bolton, wliei

i a descendant, one high among the so
j cial circles of the British capitol.
I (if course this ended tho wandering:

where the remainder of his life wa
