A Triumph.
Little Roger up the long slope rushing
Through the rustling corn.
Showers of dew drops from the brood leaves brush
ing,
In the early morn.
At-hia sturdy little shoulder bearing '
Fora banner gay,
Stem of flr with one long shaving flaring
In the wind away!
> Up he goes, the summer sunshine flushing
O???er him in his race,
Sweeter dawn of rosey childhood blushing
??? ' On his radiant face.
If he can but set his standard glorious
On the bill-top's brow,
Ere the sun climbs the clear sky victorious,
All the world aglow I
So he presses on with childish ardor,
Almost at the topi
Hasten, Roger! Does the way grow harder?
Wherefore do you stop?
From below tho corn-stalks tall and slender,
Comes a frantic cry???
Turns he for an instant from the spleudor
Of the crimson sky.
Wavers, then goes flying toward tho hollow,
Calling loud and clear;
"Coming, Jenny! Oh, why did you follow?
Don???t you cry, my dear.???
Email Janet sits weeping ???mid the daisies:
"Little sister, sweet,
Must you follow Roger?" Then ho raises
Baby on her feet???
Guides her tiny steps with kindness tender,
Cheerfully nud gay,
Ail his courage and his strength would lend her
Up the uneven way,
Till they front the blazon east together; ???
But the sun has rolled
Up the sky In tho still summer weather,
Flooding them with gold.
All forgotten is the boy???s ambition,
Low tho standard lies,
Stilt they stand and gaze???a sweeter vision
Ne'er met mortal ej es.
That was splendid, Roger; that was glorious!
Thus to help the weak;
Better than to plant your flag victorious
On earth???s highest peak.

??????A Little Good-for-Notlilng.???
"Rhoda, Debby, here is a piece of news for you,???
said Mis. Winter, as, holding an open letter In her
hand, the entered the bright, sunny dining-room,
where her two elder daughters were briskly clear
ing the table.
???What is it, mother?" asked D??bby, from tho
depths of the china closet, while Ithoda paused ou
her way to the kitchen, the tea-pot In one hand
and a dish in the other.
"Your Aunt Deborah Bcecham is coming for a
rlslt, and will be here to-morrow afternoon.???
'???Wonders will never cease!??? exclaimed Rhoda.
"But what brings her to .East Haddam now?"
asked rosy-checkcd Debby, from the closet.
"This is what she says," and Mrs. Wlutor read
aloud:
" 'My doctor has ordered me to the sea shoro for
change of air, and I thought, my dear niece, that
you might be willing to lend mo one of your
daughters for a few weeks. I need a companion,
aud it would be a nice chauge for the girl horsclf,
as the sea side town I am going to is said to be very
pleasant. 1 shall be glad to make the acquaintance
of my great-nieccs, and will select tho one to ac
company mo after seeing them. 1 shall therefore
drop iu upon you on Wednesday afternoon by tho
three o???clock train.
???Your affectionate aunt,
"Debop.aii Beeciiam.???
"Plain and straightforward, Just liko herself,"
raid Mrs. Winter, while tho oyes of the girls spar
kled with delight.
"IIow lovely!" exclaimed Rhoda. "It will, in
deed, be a delightful change from this humdrum
village. Sho surely ought to tukorao, ??u I urn u
famous nurse.???
"But I am named for her.??? said Dobby, ???and
certainly deservo a treat after bearing such an ugly
name; - Besides, you know, my beef tea is cele
brated.??? ???
"You are both.good housekeepers,??? said their
mother, with fond pride, "aud accomplished as
well.???
"I shall practice up my music,??? said Rhoda
"and make a batch of sponge cake to-morrow
morning.???
"And I,??? said Debby, "will sacrifice two of my
pet chickens, and bring out all my sketches and
Kensington-work to adorn tho parlor and best
bed-room.???
"But can't I do something???? asked thirteen-
year old Polly, who, until that moment, had re*
Drained silent, being engaged with pen aud ink In
transforming a bunch of yellow and white mar
guerites into funny daisy grandmothers with frill
ed caps, and quaint llttlo facts. "I shall love
Aunt Deborah a?? much as any of you.???
"Oh, you are a little good-/or-fiothfngf" said
Mrs. Winter, good-naturedly, "and ouiy a child;
so we don???t expect much of you.???
"But I would like to see tho great bluo sea; It
must be grand???much larger than Pike Pond, I
suppose.???
"A trifle,??? laughed Rhoda; "but Aunt Deborah
wants some one to take cure of and uinase her, not
a young tearcoat liko you. So, Polly wog, think no
more about it, but get a towel mid come help mo
wipe the dishes."
Slowly Polly obeyed, thinking how horrid it was
to be just in her teens, and a good-for-nothing,and
bow perfectly lovely to be grown up, play on the
piano, work peacock feather* and cut-tail* on
tidies; and, above all, go on trip* to the *ea shore
with kind old great-auntt.
The mxt day was h butty one in the Winter
household, iftuxlg and Debby flew about, a* their
mother expressed it, "like chicken* with their
beads otr,??? while Polly was sent on mi in boric** er
rands up and down stairs, and round to the village
store, and called upon to whisk the <*gg* and dust
the parlor, all of which she accomplished with
unruffled temper, although the*work brought her
no praise.
But at last all waa (lone, the homo in "apple-pie
order,' u the "Rococo,waltz,??? Uhoda???* nyurxit piece,
in a conspicuous place on the ramie rack, while
Debby surveyed with priue her oreiyel, blackber
ries and sunflowers, vrljich shown on sofa and
chairback.
"Now, Polly,??? said Mr*. Winter? "take the two-
quart pail up to Oldham's pasture, and fill it with
???black-capa???for tea. They will be delicious, oov
ertd with cream.???
"Ob, mother! must IF??? and the tears started to
Polly???s blue eye*. "I wanted to havo on my white
muslin and blue isib, and go with Rhoda to meet
Aunt Deborah. She will think 1 don't care any
thing about her.???
"No, nonsense f"said her sister; "you will see
her at supper, and we must have the berries.
Just think of all Debby and I have done this morn
ing!???
"Can I wear ray new hat?" o??lte??l Polly.
"No, dear,??? said her mother, "your old one will
do very well, and you cau carry tho green umbrel
la. for It will be hot crossing the tote.??????
Now. if there was one thing PoUy-dosptomt mom
than another, it was that old umbrella, the "fami
ly-roof,??? as it wax generally called, and she msslo
a little fare at the ancient article os she* took it
from behind the door, and with one mvisii
glance at her shtera. in their cool summer dreasos
started cfl for Oldham'* pasture.
Good-by, sweet Polyanthus. Be sure and get a
pood dishful,??? called Debby after the retreating
fiyme in itt want gingham gown, and then settled
herself on the shady pttzz*. ready to welcome the
expected vl*(tor, while Rhoda set forth for the
railroad station.
Polly, it must be confessed, waa something of a
"tom-boy,??? and she scaled the fence* between the
village and Oldham???s pasture as ee*ffy as a squir
rel ; but as she trudged along under the protecting
"family-roof,??? her mind waa full of the coming
Aunt Deborah. "I wonder," she thought, "If sho
will wear a plum satin, like Mr*. Judge Paterson,
or a yellow feather to her hat, like Mi** Elvira
Fry; for mother says she la rf- h* and was very
kind to her when she was a girl, I like her for
tetng good to mampra. and will get her tin
very nicest black cap* I can find. My, what hi
ones!???
The last exclamation was called forth by thi
sight of the berry bushes bending beneath their
weight of fruit.
Fuithcr down the pasture she saw other childroi
picking, but these she avoided, knowing she could
work best alone.
Pblly set to work with a will. But the pail wa??
large, and the little girl'* baud* were badly
scratched and the nun far toward* tho west before
It was filled up to the brim, oml-ilie could turn her
face homeward.
"I must hurry, or I will not Jtavc time to dress
before tea,??? said I???olly to herself; but after crDat
ing two fields aud climbing three fences, sho w.??
obliged to sit down and rest, for tho patl of berrlos
made her arm ache, aud the large umbrella was
very heavy. 6he had scarcely dropped, however,
on tho 6oft grass, when far up the road she spied a
cloud of dust, from which presently a bay horao
emerged. With ears laid back, he waa coming at
a rapid pace down tho turnpike, dragglug after
him a rickety-looking buggy that swayed danger
ously from side to side, and lu which Polly could
discern a small black figure clinging -helplessly to
the sticks that supported tho top.
"It is Dick Pelter'8 Whltcfoot, nud ho is run
ningaway!" sho exclaimed, starting to her foot.
"And, oh dear, the lady will surely bo killed!???
Tbore was no oue elso in sight, aud ou camo tho
frightened animal, threatening every instant to
dash the wagon to pieces, when suddenly, directly
beforehimln the dusty road, appeared a great
green object flopping up and down liko an ugly
bug of tremendous slzo. This was something en
tirely new Iu Wbltefoot'a experience, and surprise
made him gradually slacken hi* speed. Slower
and slower it grew as ho approached tho queer-
looking thing, which he wa* afraid to pass, until
he came too standstill right in front of tho "fam
ily roof,??? which Polly was vigorously opening and
shutting with nil her might and main.
"Let me out! oh, let mogetout!" pleaded a
weak voice from tho bottom of tho wagon; and
the frisky horse, having had hi* run, seemed quite
satisfied to remain quiet, when Tolly caught him
by the rein. Then she assisted a gentle little old
lady with soft gray curls, to alight.-She was half
fainting, aud turned so pale, that the girl hurried
ly tied Whltcfoot to a tree, and then ran to dip her
handkerchief in a llttlo brook , that ran through
the long grass near by, and tenderly batho tbo
wbito face.
"Thank you,??? said the old lady, as she began to
recover; "but how did you stop that dreadful
beast????
"With the old green umbrella,??? said Polly, sim
ply. "I liavc read of stopping horses that way,
and couldn't think of anything else to do.???
"You are a dear, brave little girl. Tho boy who
was driving waa throwu out a inlle back, and I
could not have kept in much longer.???
"What startled him???? asked Polly.
???A lad on a bicycle, I believe, but I was too
frightened to notice much.???
"Well, be has quieted down now, and if you will
get in, 1 will drive you to my home in tho villogo,
where you can rest before going further.???
lhe old lady objected timidly, but she was unfit
to walk, and was finally prevailed upon to do as
Tolly said. Pol ly, with tho now celebrated "fami
ly roof,??? mounted by her side, and with much
pride drove old Whltcfoot, who looked rather
ashamed of himself, down the vlliago street.
Mrs. Winter, Rhoda and Debby were surprised
indeed when berry-stained Polly drove up to the
gate. But tho young driver wa* more oinnzed
when her mother exclaimed: "Why, Aunt Debo
rah! how enmo you here? Wo had quite given
you up.??? Then tho discovered that tho soft-voiced
Indy sho hud rescued was lio other than their ex
pected relative.
Explanation* followed, and ltaccraed that Aunt
Deborah hud nradc a mi.take, and left tho train at
West instead of East lladdam, where sho had bceu
forced to bin* a country youth to drive her the
four m lit b between tho two places. Her nerves
were Vadluhalran by the runaway, butabo kissed*
her youngest niece very fondly, and even glanced
gratefully at the old umbrella.
Tea was soon served, when Debby???* chicken and
Uhodn???s *i>ongc-cako graced tho board, but tbo
"black-caps" were missing, they having been for
gotten, and left to "waste their sweetiiesi??? by tbo
road-side. But Aunt Deborah accepted all apolo
gies very kindly, and smiled contentedly over her
apple sauce nt Polly.
Mrs. Bcochaiu proved to be a perfect visitor,
making herself at homo at once, sympathizing
with Mr*. Winter in all her household trial*, list
ening to Rhoda???* music, admiring Debby???* handi
work, and giving a helping hand to all. But what
she seemed to enjoy most wa* tho twilight hour,
when the family gathered ou the woodbine-oorcr-
cd porch, and Polly sang simple song* aud ballads
lu a voice as sweet and clear, though uutralnod,
as a wild bird???s. So two weeks glided by,
"Must you really go iu three ilaysF??? asked Pplly,
ssdlyone evening, as she cuddled up to Aunt
Deborah, and laid her head in her lap.
"Yes, darling; but if mother ho* no objection, I
would like to take you with ine.???
1 he rough brown head came up with a start,ami
two blue cyen were very wide o|??cn as Mra. Winter,
wlioaat by, asked, "Do you mean it. Aunt Deb
orah? Our little Polly tt very sweet and loveablo,
but wo have looked upon her as x-aort of merry
good-for-nothing.???
"A girl who remembers what ah* reads, and has
the presence of mind to put it in practice, tt just
tho one I want,??? said Aunt Deborah, patting the
eager faco upraised to h*r*. Tho next moment
she waa almost suffocated In Polly???s vigorous em
brace.
Rhoda and Debby were certainly disappointed,
but were somewhat consoled by well-chosen gift*
from their great-aunt, and kludly refrained from
vying anything to damp the pluuuro of the little
girl, who waa In the wildest spirits. Debby only
remarked, "What a traveled Polly-wog it will
bet??? us she fitted tho unity blue, llannol traveling
suit.
But there was a lump la Polly???* throat which sho
had to swallow hard to hide, when for the first
time In her life sho Undo good-by to tbo homo folk,
and started oil bobim) tho puffing Iron stood. New
scene*, however, soon diverted her, and when at
Jut she stood on the hard, smooth sand, and saw
the g???offou* breakers come rolling fn to broik fn
curling foam at her feet, she clasped her hands in
rapturous delight, exclaiming:
"Ob, Aunt Deborah, It Is wnuderfull every wave
seem* an ocean princess with a white father In
her hair, and I am so glad you thought I was good
for something!??????Aqnks Carr, iu Harper???s Young
