to the Pegotty home by the sea, a day
made memorable by being the first

And again when David was going off
to school, and the same carrier’s wagon

“much better.”
Thinking of all * this I say, we feel a
mist of tears rising to our eyes, so dim
ming them that the face of little Dora
looms faint and indistinct in its delicate
flower-like beau’y before us.
A group of four are now drawing
near. Can they be our “Little Women ?*
Yes, yes, they really are! Meg, the
heantifnl daughter, Joe,the dear .talent
ed scapegrac.; Both the little angel, the
precious “mother’s girl” who makes
home so happy in her prtsenoe, and
leaves it all desolate when she is gone.
And Amy,“conceited, upstart Amy>
with her artistio tastes, and turned-up,
blunt little nose—the nose she tried so
bard to make claisio with a clothes-pin.
Here they are—the March girl*, the
“Little Women” over whom we have
laughed and cried and bad suoh good
times, and whom we never expected to
meet.
I always loved Joe best, she was such
a dear, delightful “fellow,” and I stand
and long to speak to her, and ask her to
tell me of the ' -lacks” she and Lsnrie
Lawrence had, bat timidity keeps me
silent.
Looking at her close-cropped onrly
head recalls to my mind the family
panic that caused the sacrifice Of her
lengthy locks to the barber’s shears. I
seem still to see the old house hack in
the grove with “Marmie” in the door,
and the contrast seems great between
that home scene and the biasing mag
nificence of the grand court-room.

But alas! in kindest terms she rer*

Another child Is standing in a corner
of the room, gazing with curiosity at
the strangers, yet with a sweet modesty
of look which shows more olearly than
words the quiet and beautiful nature of
this little woman —“Little Nell.”
It seems almost Impossible that a man
frail and weak as we are, could have
created such a noble, pore, and perfeot
nature.
But alas, she is only a shadow,
phantom, a spirit, the vain imagining
of a human brain.
Yes, she and all the rest are merely
actors on an Imaginary stage, as un
real as their sntronndingi.
True, perfect being*, and lacking
reality only in wanting the divine
spark of humanity—
L fe. When we review the heroic
acts of Little Nell, the patienoe and
kindness to her old grandfather,
nobility, her goodness and childlike
faith, we feel inclined to bow down to
her as something supernatural, ethereal
and angelic.
We are roused from our melancholy
stands before ns? Ay, for in the world
fiction none ever change, and none
ever growjold, for they are forever act
ing over ths story of their lives to a new
audience.
We gaze npon the ever multiplying
host gathered to pay homage to the
heantifnl queen, but many, so many are
they, that we can scarce distinguish one
from another. Every nation is repre
sented here, The delicate beauty of the
Greek, the magnificent charms of the
Eut, the paler beauty of the North,
and the fresh, fair loveliness of the
West.
Truly women of fiction are as num
berless as the sands of the sea-shore,
and they are all represented here.
Just as the room has had its utter
most capacity for containing tested, the
gnesta fide gradually away.
Perhaps they retired by the doors,
hat it is most probable they have flown
off in thin air. Even the queen and
her attendants are gone, and we are left
alone. Gone say yon? Bnt their beau
ty lingers—every fair maiden and mat
ron painted are now forming for their
creators wreaths and diadems of roses
and laurels. The spirits seem to have
faded into the distance, bnt they have
not, for in every nook and corner of
litei store they remain and return again
and again with added beauty and
oharm. Thep are gone, hat not far, ao
near do they remain that we may fed
the delicate fragrance and sweet odors
of their lives fanning ns; while the no
bility end greatness shown bv many of
these fair Gestures ever stirs ns to great
er actions, inspires ns to grander deeds,
and to a fame everlasting.
Don’t think abont hunger when von
