Ere russet fields their green resume, Sweet flower, I love, in forest bare. To meet thee, when tliy faint perfume Alone is in the virgin air. Os all her train, the hands of spring First plant thee in the watery mould, And I have seen thee blossoming Beside the snow-bank’s edges cold. Thv parent sun, who bade thee view Pale skies, chilling moisture sip, j Has bathed thee in his own bright line. And streaked with jet thy glowing lip.

J\)£ ‘‘\A t!I, I think it’s likely; but don’t tease me any more. Your brother lias mariied a poor girl, one w hom I forbade him to marry, and I won’t forgive him if j they starve together.’’ This speec.h was addressed to a loveiv i girl scarcely eighteen, beautiful as the j lilly that lodes itself beneath the dark waters, h-lie was parting the silverv j locks on her father’s high, handsome I forehead, of which her own was a min-1 ] iatnre, and plead long the cause of hoG delinquent brother, who hau married in opposition to her fatliet’s will, and had i consequently been disinherited. Mr. j W heatly was a rich old gentleman, a resident of Boston, lie was a fat, good ualirred old fellow, somewhat, given to mirth, and sat in his arm chair from] morning until night, smoking bis pipe,: and reading the newspapers. Some- j times a story of bis ow n exploits in our j revolutionary battles tilled up a passing ; hour. He had two children, the diso bedient son, and the beautilul girl before spoken of. The fond girl went on plead- ] ing: “ Dear father, do forgive : you don’t • know what a beautiful girl he has mar-, lied and’ “ I thick it’s likely, ’’said the old man: ” hut don; tease me and open the door] 1 a little, this plaguy room smokes so.’’ “ Well,” continued Ellen, “ won’t you } just see her now—she is so good : and : the little boy, lie looks so innocent.’’ “ What did you say F interrupted the father, ‘’a boy ? have a grandchild l Why Ellen, 1 never knew that before 1 but I think it’s likely. Well, now give me my chocolate and then go to your music lesson.” Ellen left him. The old man’s heart began to relent. “ W ell,” he we nt on, “ Charles was al , ways a good boy, a little wild or so at ] college, but I indulged him; and he was always good to his old father, for all, j lie disobeyed me by marrying this poor) girl; yet as my old friend and fellow- 1 i soldier, Tom Bonner used to sav, we I must, forgive. Boor Tom ! I would give J i all my old shoes 1 have got to know j whatever became of him. If I could but'] find him or one of his children! Heav- i eti grant they are not suffering ! If 1 did but know w ho this girl was that my Charles married ; but I have never in quired her name. I’ll find out and ‘ 1 think it’s likely,” said the old j man. EMen led into the room a beautiful boy, about two years old. Ilis curly hair and rosy cheeks could not but make one love him. “ Who is that?” said the old man, wiping his eyes. “ That—that is Charles’ boy,” said El l*‘ii, throwing one of her arms round her father's neck, while with the other she! placed the child on his knee. The child looked tenderly up into his face, and lisp- j ed out, “ Grand-pa, what makes you cry so?* I The old man clasped the child to his! bosom, kissed him again and again. Af-| ter this emotion had a little subsided, lie j Lade (he child tell his name. j “Thomas Bonner Wheatly,” said the! boy, “ l am named after grand-pa.” “ What do I hear ?” said the old man; ’ ; “ Thomas Bonner, your giandfather ? ’ “ Yes,” lisped the hoy, “ and lie lives! with ma, at ” “Get me my cane,” said the old man, 1 “ ami come Ellen ; he quick child.” 1 hey started off at a quick pace, which . i so<J brought them to the poor, though , I n<?at lodgings of his son. * There he be-; I his old friend, Thomas Bonner, sea-, ted in one corner, weaving baskets, while his swathed limbs showed how unable , lie was to perform the necessary task.— j Ilis lovely daughter, the wife of Charles.; was preparing their frugal meal, and I Charles was out seeking employment to [ support his needy family. “Jt’.sall my “PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.” fault,” sobbed the old man, ;.s be embrac ed his friend, who was puMflwiwith a mazemeut. % - “ Come,” said Mr. Wheatly. “ come, all of you home with me, we will all live together—there is plenty bf room in my house for us all.” By this time Charles had come. lie asked his father's forgiveness, which was freelv given, and Ellen was almost mad [ with joy. “O, how happy we shall be!’ she ex- i i claimed : “ and father will Jove our lit-’ j tie Thomas so, and lie’ll be your pet, won’t he, father ?” “ Ah” said the old man, “ I think it’s very likely.” i ¥i) ifi|sh3i7o—St £ift §Kelel). M v husband is a very strange man. j . To think how lie could hsDe grown so; j provoked about such a lii.tlc thing as 1 that scarlet scarf. Well, there is no use in tr\ ing to drive him. I’ve settled that in mv mind. But he can be coaxed. ! can’t lie, thou 2 h ! And from this time : scan t I know how to manage him ! Still there is no denying, Mr. Adams is a strange man. You see, it was this morning at break ; fast, I.said to him, “Henry, I must have j one of those ten dollar scarfs at Stewart's. They are perfectly charming, and will ] correspond so nicely with my maroon velvet cloak. 1 want to go this morning and “et one before they are gone.” “ Ten dollars don’t grow ou every hush, Adeline; and just now times are pretty hard, you know,” he answered, in a dry, careless kind of tone, which irritated me, greatly. Besides.that, I knew lie could j afford to get me the scarf-just as well as’ not, only perhaps, my manner ofreques- 1 ting it did not quite suit his lordship. “ Gentlemen who can afford to buy satin vests at tea dollars apiece, can have ] no motive hut penurionsness, for object-! ing to give their wives as much for a scarf,” I retorted, glancing at tile money, j which, a few moments before, he had laid by my plate, requesting me to pro- 1 cure one fur him ; he always trusts my taste in the matters. I spoke angrily, • and should have been sorry for i the next j moment, if lie. bad not answered : “ You will then charge it to my penu rioustiess, 1 suppose, when I tell you that vou cannot have another ten dol lars.”’ “ Well, then, I will take this and get a scarf. You can do without the vest this fall,” and I took up the bill and left ] the room, for lie did not answer ine. 1 need it and must have it! was my 1 mental observation, as 1 washed my tear swollen eyes and adjusted mv hair for a , walk on Broadway; but all the while) ! there was a whispering at ray heart : —j !“ Do not do it. Go and buy the vest . : for your husband ;” and at last, that in ner voice triumphed. I went down to] ] the tailor’s, bought the vest, and brought j it home. j “ Here it is, Henry ; I selected the col- 1 or that I thought would suit you best. 1 Isn’t it rich ?” I said, as I unfolded the] the vest after dinner, for somehow, my : pride was*all gone. I had felt so much happier since the scarf had been given tip. | He did not answer me, but there was such a look of tenderness filling his dark eyes, as his lips fell on my forehead, that it was as much as I could do to keep from crying outright. But the cream of the story is not told vet. At night, when lie c-anie home to tea, lie threw a little bundle into my lap. I opened it, and there was tho scarlet scarf, the very one I set my heart on at Stewart's vesterday. “ Oh, Henry ! ’ I said, looking up and trying to thank him, but my lips trem bled ; and the tears dashed over the eye lashes, and he drew my head to his heart and smoothed down mv curls, and murmured the old loving words in my : ear, while I cried there a long time, but my tears were such sweet ones. He is a strange man, my husband, | but he is a noble one too, only it is a lit- 1 tie hard to find it out sometimes, and it seems to me that mv heart says it more earnestly to-night, than it ever did before.

No answer was made and he j rang the bell furiously. The waiter made i his appearance again. “ Ring sa ?” “ Yes I did ring. Didn’t I ask for a private room ?” “Yes sa, this is a privathe room sa.” “ It is ! !iv there’s a fellow sitting right opposite me now, on the other side jof the table, ltot his impudence.” j “ Table, sa —fellow, sa F “ Yes there is. Well, just never mind. Bring on some mote punch and a ; couple of glasses.” j In a very shore time, the fourth pitch- ■ ; er, with two glasses, made its appear- | | a nee. York filled one of the glasses, then shoved it. over the table. I “ Will you drink, said iie, addressing i the figure in (lie glass. “Ob you won’t. ’ Well I will.” And so lie did. “ Better drink, old fellow,” continued j he. I “Your liquor is getting cold, and 1 you look as if you ate fond of the tiling.” ! No answer being returned, York finish- ‘ ;ed the pitcher, and rang the bell again. ! Iu popped the waiter, j “ Ring sa.” } “To be sure I did. Did’nt vou hear the b-b bell ?” ] “ I did.” • “ Did nt I order a p n-privato room ? i | Eh?” “ 1 es. sa, this is a private room, sa.” “A pretty private room this is, with a J f-f-fellow sitting right opposite that won’t take a glass of punch when it’s offered ] him, and a r-r-ivd nosed man at that.— 0, well, never mind, bring me more ] punch, and t-t-tumblers. I’ll try him a gain.” j Presently pitcher number 5, and glas- ) jses to match, was borne in \\i:h due state. . j i “ Better tiy some, old bov,” said j York, coaxingly, to his double. Tiie re-! flex merely looked good naturod, but said nothing. 44 Well, continued I'ork, with a sigh, it this is’nt the most infamous. Never mind I’ll drink the punch.” j And so he did, everv bit of it. About , five minutes sufficed to end the pilcher. York, rang the bell superfuriously. The waiter came again. “ Ring, sa ?” j “ Why, certain. Why sliould’nt T? Where’s the man —who keeps the— i place ?” | “ Boss, sa ? I’ll see’iui sa. Shortly after, mi lie host, a quiet-looking little man, with a mottled, calico pattern ed face and a shining bald head, made his appearance. W-w-what’s to pay ?” demanded ] \ork, rising and assuming an nirbfdig nily. “ j i * I'ivo punches—five leavies, sir.” “There’s the monov, sir,” said York, forking over the coin. “And now i i want to know why, when I call for a pri-1 ’ vate room, you should put me here with U-s-somebody else I” j “There’s nobody here but vou aud I, ’ j sir!” “ Nobody I.
