e both walked slowly o’rethe - ellow

Beneath tlie sunset sky;
And then he dim lied the stile I did not
puss.
And there we said Hood-bye.
He paused one momen ; I leaned on
the stile,
And facta the hazy lane;
But neither of us spoke until we both
Just said Uood-by again.
Aud 1 went homeward to our ipiaint
old farm,
And he went on ins way;
And lie has never crossed that Held
again,
From that time to this uy.
I wonder if he ever give* a thought
To what he left behind;
As I start sometimes dreamiug that I
hear
A footstep iu tlie wind.
If lie had said but one regretful word,
Or I had shed a tear,
HewouH uot go alone about the world
Nor I sit lonely here.
Airs! our hearts were full of ungr/
pride,
And love was elioked in strife;
And so tlie sliie, beyond the yellow
grass.
Stands straight across «ur life.

‘‘Now you must do some credit
to my pursing, and get. strong aud
well again.”
As Fannie P'easauton spoke,she
put beside the bed over which she
was leaniog, a great bunch of fra
grant. violets, moist and beautiful
biea’.hing their sweet stories of
shady nooks in deep woods
A little, pale face, that had
been lyiug liailessly on the pillow
was lif ed eagerly.
“Oh, how good you are! Oh 1
they are like home ! my own dear
home !
“Great tears rolled down the
pale face.
“Tell me about your home how
came you to leave it for this city ?
asked Fanny.
“My father diet!, and the farm
was sold to pay a mortgage. I
had a little money, and I thougl l
1 could find work in the city. Be
sides ”
Bui here Barabn Golding stop
ed, and a fair.t crimson blush rose
upon her pale cheeks.
“H’m," thought Fannie, wise
ia twenty-two years »f city life
and education ; “a love story.”
She asked no questions, but
pie./y soon Baraba said :
‘•You have been so kind, [ will
ell you. Perhaps you can tell me
what l o do.”
/ will nelp you in way I
can.’’
‘Two years ago, /he summer
that I was seventeen, father took
a boarder. He was a la-vyer, and
his heal/h had failed, from
studying too hard. I think he
was about twenty-six or tvveaty
eight years old. Not handsome
but so gentle and good that we all
•iked him from the first, And he
would come into the garden with
me and help me with vegetables
and fruit, because father left that
to me ; and would carry the milk
up to the dairy room for me, and
talk about books aad the city, and
—oh, Mis* Pleasontou. don’t you
know !”
“He made love to you f ’
“Yes,” in a faint whisper.
“You ioved him ?”
“Yes.” again ; “I could not help
it? When he went away, he pro
mised to come the next summer aud
he told me when Le made his for
tune, he would come to ask me to
share it.”
“Did he come ?
•‘Father died the next sprit g,
and I came here. And 1 thought
I should fiud him but 1 did not
see him for a long time, and when
I did I had become so very poor
1 would tot force myself upon
him. I worked as well as 1
could, but this summer I became
sick and but for you I should have
starved.”
“Do you think yoar lover is
still true to you ?”
“I cannot tell! I would not
trouble him. Sometimes, I found
out where his office was, I would
not trouble pass by after dark and
peep in. It was beau tifully fur
nished ;so I hope he is making
his fortune; but 1 only whispered
‘God Bless him, and came
home ”
“Will yon tell me his name.”
“Lennox —Cyrus B. Lennox !”
Fanuie Pleasanton turned her
fiice abiuptly from the little seam
stress, who had been the object
of her charity for the last six
weeks, and walked to the window

| she had placed there she looked
into the atrce\ while ringing in
i her ears was the name Baraba
Golding had just spoken.
“Cyrus P. Lennox!”
She was very pale w hem she
camea'-nin to the bedside, but
her voice wiir steady and sweet as,
she said:
“I must leave you now Baraba
but I will come again ?’’
“Yes, you are very kind. Bui
—you will come again ?”
“Thisafternoon ! Try to eat
a few strawbberriess 1 have
brought you !”
She went away then, s opping
as usual to fell the janitress of the
poor teuement house tj take care
of the sick girl un il her re
turn.
But instead of driviug to the
store where sh had in/ended to
make final purchases for « nearly
completed wedding outfit, siio told
the coachmen to drive home.
Once there unheeding the mix
ious inquires of her aunt, astonish
ed at her early return and pale
face, she went lo her own room
boltiDg the door, before she sank
down in a chair, wearied with the
effort to mantain her compos
ure.
Cyrus B. Lennox, the girl said.
Fannie Pleasanton, looking
around her luxurous room saw a
pleasant confusion of dress, new
garments loading tables and war d
rope, drawers overflowing with
dainty finery, open trunks wait
ing to be packed. And the pre
parations were all for a weddiDg
iu one short week, and the bride
groom elect was Cyrus B. Len
nox.
What was this story the little
seamstress she found starving in
the attic had told her The jani
tress of the* xenement-hou>e had
been a a servant in /he Pleasanton
fami y, and came to Fannie who
was generous, whenever any dis_
tress came to her notice. And
Fannie had gone at her last call
to find Baraba Golding tossiDg in
a delirious fever, evidently over
work ed, poorly fed, and silting
in the attic chamber. Sba had
paid for a betier room on a lower
floor had, sent for a doctor, had
supplied medicines, food and care,
had visited her often, till the doc
tor pronounced her on the l oad to
recovery.
And in return she had heard
that Cyrus her own betrothed hus
band, was /he lover of Barbaba
Golding. “Does lie love her yet?
the girl thought, pushing back tiie
hair Irorn her pale face, and look
ing in the mirror. lam far hand
somer. She is not pretty, only
sweet and fair. lam handsome
and accomplished. She is a pau
per, lam wealthy Cytus is not
poor now, since is aunt died ;
but he will rise to emminence with
my wealth to aid him, while she
will be but a burden upon him.
Only a week. Long before Bara
ba can even set up, we shall be
on our way to Europe, and he
will soon forge/ her. Why did
seek me if he ioved her ? It wa
only x request of Bis auats not a
command, that he should marry
me if I consented. But he came
to me, and I love him—l love him
Can Baraba love him better love
than mine? I can give her mon
ey to return to her old home i
she wishes ! Oh ! Cyrus do you
love her and cot me? I cannot
doubt! I must know !”
As if in answer to the thought
a servant rapped at the door ,and,
opening it. Fannie was handed
Cyrus Lennox’s cird.
“I will come down at once,” she
said, taking off her hat and stno/li
iug her disordered hai r. sbe was
not sorry tha/ he had called while
the first excitement of her discov
ery nerved her with fictitous
strength to endure any word she
might speak: Sbe came to him
quietly, dignified us ever, but
very pale, so pale lie asked anx
iously if sbe was well.
“Well but tired,” she answered
“I have been out this morning.”
They talked of indifferent mat*
ters for a short time; then Fannie
said earnestly;
“Cyrus, I bave a craving desire
to ask yououe true woman’s ques
tion. Will you promise a sincere
answer?”
He hesitated a moment, then
said.
* 1 will answer truthfully what
ever you ask."
“Did 3011 ever love any other wo
mm before you knew me?”
“Do you not think it enough to
kuo.v I love you now?’ he said.
“Yll promised me a sitcere an
swer, and you give mean evasion,’
sue saiu reproachfully.
Because you asked me to tear
open an old wound your love is
aealiug/’
-Y et. even if it pains both you
arid me, I beg you tell me of your
find love ”
Fannie's lips were parched and
Miff, but she spoke calmny.
“Since you insist," Cyrus said
gravely, “I will tell you. Two
years ago, iu a farm-house where
I was boauling I met a woman, or
rather a girl, a sweet, fair maiden
whom I loved. 1 was a poor man,
then I’ant ie, and she had a hapny,
p easant home. So I bade her
farewell, hoping to return die next
year and bring her home to the
city. When I did return the farm
was sold, and Barbara had gone
away. None of the neighbors
could tell me anything of her."
“It was your place to seek
her!"
“I did, faithfully. Bu, I could
find no trace of her wereabouts
In the autumn my aunt died. She
bad loved you foi years, and her
last wish was the hope Jilt you
would one day be my wife. It was
a sweet solace to me even in my
sorrow for her loss, and pain at
Barbara’s disappearance, to have
your sympathy, and I soon found
tiuue was yet room iu my heart
for a true, tender love. You can
not beleive I would have asked
you to be my wife had I not loved
yon”'
“But if, cveu now, you found
Baraba ?”
“/ have long ago ceased to seek
her !”
‘Yet if she came to you ?’’
“You are my betrothed wit's? ’
“Ye 1 if Barbara came to you,
poor, friendless and sick: if she
told you she had come to the city
seeking work, hoping to find you
and had sunk under her burden
of loneliness tied toil: if she told
yon, that raggered, footsore and
weary, she had looked in at you
in your cosy office, aud turned
away unwilling to throw l he bur l
don of ber poverty upon yon; if
she had struggled till she had
fainted and fell sick, and was
gaining health slowly, hopelessly,
with no future before her but a
future of poverty and toil; if Bar
bara came sj to you, Cytus, what
would you say?”
But only a pallid fact, with
great beads of perspiration upon
the broad brow, was lifted in
speechless agony to meet her
eyes Only large brown eyes,
wistful and suffering, appealed to
her womanly heart.
There was a deep sileece in the
room for a long time. Then a
hoatse voice said:
“You have seen Barbara?”
“Yes, I have seen her.”
“As you describe?”
“Yes!”
“And you despise me us faith
less to her and to yon?”
“No, Ido nut despise you! I
am sorry that you did not know
your own hear/ better, when you
came to ask me tc be your wife.”
All ber paia and leva was well
hidden in /lie cold, proud voice
which Fannie Pleisonton assumed
to civer her breaking htait. But
after a mo uent, she said, more
gently:
“Barbara Las been very ill, aud
is slid too weak to bear any great
agita ion. You will not trust me
to tear out this old love and be
ever Irue and faithful to you? I
am not so weak but I can do so if
you will trust me.”
“But I wil/ not!” was the quiet
ropiy; “I will marry noman whose
bear/ is not all mine. I will have
no memory of another love for my
constant rival. We can still be
friends. Cyrus, but never again
lovers.
He had no words to meet the
steady resolution of her voice, but
yet he took no coward’s plea for
shel/er He would not say, even
to his own heart, “She never loved
me; she is glad to throw m« off.”
He knew si e hail loved him, be
ing 100 purely womanly to give
her hand when, she had not al
ready given her hear/. He knew
the sacrifice sue was making. He
took both her little cold hands in
his, lifted them reverently to his
lips, saying:
“May God bless you for your
goodness to her. I will come
again when you send for me ’’
So he loft her, carrying the
dream of future happiness she had
carried six months next her heart
with him.
She would not trust heseli to
think. Obtaining the doctors per
mission, she brought Barbara to
her ewn stately home and nursed
Iter buc’ to her health, restoring
her to her lover, but telling her
uoihiug of her own sacrifice.
Before tie winter snows came
there was a quie/ wedding, for the
doctor had s'rungly urged a warm
or climate for the invalid.
Him was very lntppy, 1 his pale;
little Barbara, when sheltered by
her hue ban ns love; she took leave
of her kind friend, and went away
to seek the soft air of Florida, to
court health in balmy southern
breezes. She was very happy in
her husband’s tender care, his car
essing affection in the winter
mouths when even the warmth and
frtgance of Florida air would not
bring back the lost strength, Lit
tle by little she faded away, always
gentle and Joving, always happy
when she lay dying, in h e
husbands • loving arms; never
guessing any divided love or duty
had ever threatened to seperate
them. Gently and painlessly, as
a babe sinks to slumber, /itile Bar
hui a sunk into” the lust earthly
sleep, her head upon her husbands
breast, his tender words soothing
her, Lis loving touch caressing
her.
Softly they laid her under the
evergreen verdure of the southern
giass, and Cyrus turned his face
homeward, widowed and sorrow
ful.
Two years latfar Fannie Pleas
onton returned from her Europe
an trip, taken immediately after
Barbara’s wedding. Her old home
was unchanged, her aunt glad /o
come back to her housekeeping
ttid friends.
A little paler, a little graver, Cy
rus found her when he came to
call, but still the gentle, dignified
woman he remembered, the true
companion 1 is soul ertved.
Never to Jiving ears did lie te/1
the secret lie leuruod in liis brief
man ted life, the secret that Barba
ra, sweet, gonile Barbara, whose
girlish beauty had won his love
whose deepest pity had stirred his
pity, and he gave her both ,n full
measure.
But he knew, only too soon,that
she could never meet him heart to
heart as Fannie could'; could nev
er be his true life companion. He
was loya.ly true to her tnemo-y,
speaking no word of his secret dis
appointment.
But he sought Fannie with a
lover’s eagerness, a life's devotion
and Fannie, loving him witn her
whole heart, knew it was no divid
ed homeage he offered her. wuen
for the second time, he asked her
to be his wife.
Sbe had made her sacrifice, and
knew- that she had toothed Barba
ra’s passage to the grave, not has
tened it. And with a clear con
science, a deep, abiding love, she
o-ce more put her hand into that
of Cyrus Lennox and became his
faiuiful, dearly loved wife.
BITTER WORDS
A single bitter word maydis
quie/ an entire family for a whole
day. One surly g'auce casts a
gloom over the household, while a
smile like a gleam of sunsh ne,may
light up tne darkest and weariest
hours. Like unexpected flowers
which spring up along our path,
fall of freshness fragrance and
beauty, so kind words and gentle
acts and sweet dispositions make
glad the sacred spot called noine.
No matter how humble the abode
if it be sweetened with kindness
and smiles, the heart will turn
lovingly toward it from all the tu
mults of the world, and heme, if
it be ever so homely will be the
tue deatvst spot beneath the cir
