FRIENDSHIP
As the day declines to even,
Falling in the arms of night.
One by one the stars of heaven
Shed on earth their constant light.
. So when life’s bright sun is hidden
By the heavy gloom of woe,,
True friends like the stars, unbidden,
One by one their lustre show.

LOUIE AND L
,
BY HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFIA
If I had been the least bit pretty -I
shouldn't hare been surprised at it all;
or if I had even been bright and wittv;
but such a little simpleton as II
I never in all my life had the least ex¬
miring pectation of lovers, nr of any sort of ad¬
glances; and I never had any, And
sometimes mother used to say she guessed
it was just as well, for if she had had to
dress two girls out for their pretty looks,
as she did one, it would have beggared
her. Mother only had a little mono} 1 ',
just barely enough to live on, and some
of the principal going every year, but it
wouldn’t have been in human nature,
having a daughter her so pretty as Louie,
not to want to have the best that
would sot off her peach-bloom beautv;
and, for my part, I never grudged Louie
a rcse or a ribbon. I couldn’t have wmrn
them if I had had them, for I was far
too proud to try to do what Nature
hadn’t, or to pretend I thought such
things became me; aud I liked my print
dresses and plain collars better for my¬
self.
But when Louie was dressed in her mus¬
lins till she looked like one of the old
fashioned blush roses, so white without
lovely and so yellow delicately hair flushed within, her
curls all her breaking out in sunny
ant. over might head, ancl she all radi¬
as you 3ay, with her skin, her
smiles, her teeth, her great bine, beam¬
ing oyes—then I used to like to look at
her as much as any of her lovers did; to
look at her as I wouid look at any lovely
picture; and she always turned from her
gayest scene—the dear 1 ttle person—-to
give her sweetest smile to me.
So when Dennis began all at once to
come to our the house, as if he had just seen
Louie for first time in his life, I was
him only loved delighted. and honored For every Dennis one who Heed, knew who
was the soul of ali integrity; and if he
wasn’t a beauty himself, he was a stalwart
son of Saul,aud had thenicest 1 ttle place
in the region—a cottage up a lane, over¬
looking the river, and with a wood be¬
hind its orchard and across the railway
cut^to wind keep olf the east wind—if the
east could ever blow in that sunny
nook with a garden spot made and
blooming in every cranny of the rocks
aroutid it.
He married her, and took her away;
and a happier nest of singing birds than
that in the little cottage among the rocks
aud flowers could nowhere have been
found, unless it were in my own heart,
at the sight of the happiness there.
But then mother fell sick, and it took
all my time to care for her; and I couldn’t
go up to Louie’s very often; for I hud
everything to do at home, and was tired
out hv nightfall, and often up half the
night besides. Louie couldn’t very well
come down often; and if she had come,
she wouldn’t have known what to do.
Poor mother! Once I remember, she
said to me, “I don’t know but it’s more
satisfactory to have one 1 daughter plain,
than anything else.” And it made my
heart bound. And then I reproached
my selfishness in caring to have her sav
that over Louie’s head, as it were; but I
remembered it long afterward, and some¬
times it used to give me a throb of joy
when everything was dreary, and I
j seemed to be alone in the world. And then

you might as well have asked a hum

more interest in the house and keeping
things trig and tidy. And I used to be
afraid that if I were Dennis, and there
were holes in my socks, and half the but

though the house must often have been
thoroughly unoomfortable to Dennis, he
i never gave a sign that it was not
| itself: an 1 I came to the conclusion
he didn t really miss those other things,
and was satisfied with what he had.
I used to go up mto the Eden some¬
times without being sent for, and mend
tip everything, and put the whole house
straight; but I couldn’t go so very often
on account of my work; and, beside, I
had a sensation of intruding where two
people wanted but each olher.
But at last the babies came; and then
I had to go. And Louie was wild with
delight* laid and insisted on having them
on the pillow close to her cheek, and
talked and laughed and cooed and cried
to them with such glittering eyes and
all dazzling color in her face, and said it was

She was in Heaven to-morrow, the
dear little innocent soul, and one of the
babies went with her.
I was glad that the little bady went
too. For I remembered that she had
said then she would have all she wauted;
because it troubled me to think that, for
alibis grief to day, Dennis wouldn’t be
like any other man in the world if he
didn't marry to-morrow; and the other
wife would have the long life with him,
and become dearer and dearer, and Louie
Avould fade into just a beautiful dream;
and when the next life came, it would be
the dear wife of the long-continuing
time that would be his companion, and
Louie would be all alone if it wasn’t for
the baby, and she had said that the baby
was enough. flash Of course all consciousness, this was only
a sort of through my

could have thought about anything of
the kind who saw Dennis’s grief. Ho

he talked and j sang to him, and walk d

out for his coming as much as I did. And
all that, of course, helped me a good deal
in my work about the hou-e, for I kept
everything as fine and orderly ns a honey

“I shall call h'm Louie, for his

you think you can bear it?” I
asked,
“To hear him called Louie? Yes. He
is Louie over again,” said Dennis.
And I couldn’t tell vou how uleasant
life grew to be as we watched the child
grow, unfolding like a rose. There was
ab olutely a sort of rivalry between us
presently as to who should discover his
first tooth. When he took his first step,
it was between Dennis's arms and mine,
as we both sat on the boor. And when
he spoke his first word, how we listened
to learn if it were Dennis’s name or mine.
The day wasn't long enough in. for think us to

Dennis was envious of me for having
