ALONE.
I miss you, my darling, my darling;
The embers burn low on the hearth. f
And stilled is the air of the household,
And hashed is the voice of its mirth;
The rain plushes fast on ths terrace, -
The winds past the Iatice3 moan;
The midnight chimes oat from the
minster,
And I am alone.
I want you, my darling, mv darling;
I am tired with care and with Iret;
I would nestle in silence beside you,
And all but youripresence forget,
In the hush of the happiness given,
To those, who through trusting have
grown
To the fullness of love in contentment,
But I alone.
I call you, my darling, my darling.
My V'doe echosv back cn my heart;
I stretch my arms to you in longing.
And lo! they fall empty, apart.
I whisper the sweet worus you taught
me,
The words that wo cn!y have known,
Till the blunk of tbs dumb uir ia bitter
For I am alone.
I near! you, my darling, my darling,
Wi’h its yoaruing my very heart
itches,
The load • hat divides us weighs herder,
I shrink from thsi jar that it makes;
Old sorrows rise up to boset mu,
Olsi daubt 3 make my spirit their own.
O, com® through the darkness tu>d
save mo,
For I am alone.

A Sketch.
■Written for the Courier.
Married—M r, B. to Miss W- Two
more made happy.
“Two route with bub a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.”
Messrs. Editors, whenever I read these
lices I get hot aud then I get cotd, in
fact 1 got mad, jest to see these poor
unsophisticated mortals‘getting hooked
on these two lines because they sound
so sweet and poetical. There is 11 lit¬
tle reading lesion in one of the school
book3 where the little fish wunted to
go to catch a tempting fly; Pemon-
station was in vain, but soon came
back the death wail; this bait only
hid a houk- and so these alluring
lines, Tom Moore ought to have his
sentence in the next world tried by the
disappointed souls, who, through him,
looked at married life through roso
colored glasses, Don’t think I am a
dieappointed woman, been use I tun
not. I am a very happy one, If rny
own good senses had not sustained me
my life would have been ^wrecked by
these two abominable lints. If you,
dear Editors and your kind roadevs,
will not, weary at the rambling* of au
old woman, I will give yon a bit of my
early history.
My Willie was the embodiment of
all that Wus good and noble, aud when
he placed upon my finger the little
circlet before our marriage, with lov¬
ing words he whispered: “Pansy, may
your life in the future be like tine ring,
a oneness io inino,
‘Two kohls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that neat as one. ■ I!
“Now, Willie, let’s make a vow that
those two, lines tduill bo the magic tai
smaa of or.r lives after onr mar riage;

worenand all will be tight, and you.
my Prince, should be crowned with
your request," ^ime parsed on uml
we were one, ^he Imppy days and
woelc flew by on g»ldm wings, until
about three months had' - gene by, so
one t.i::azs were needed in our homo
nou^UniiHeda few fresh sriioles in
my toilet, my mi he* nad kindly
filled my purse at le-Jivintv limns, AdA
I had never called on him before, and
he bad never given me a dune, I
hesitated sr-v ral days tiling 10 pick
up courage to*«sk my darling for m<>n-
ey. I knew he could not refuse us hr?
r ages are good. So with my sweetest
smile I askrd the momentous question
expecting a hearty response. “Money 1
yon want money? and pray what may
her majesty want to boy with money ?’’
The cold chills were creeping up and
fiowu my back at a fearful rate, *0
with a shivering ( mile I repeated th*
mag 0 words, He looked, well he just
looked, and with chilling words he
said. “how much ? ; do yon want?”
“Twenty dollars.'’ * Twenty dollars?
does her majesty pTopose’to invest in
the government?” Crest-fallen I
turned away, “SUy," he said, •‘here
are ten, that is as much as a woman
should spend.” A few days boforo he
had bought a pair of boots for $15.
Well, I (bought, will this ha^o to be
gone through; through hi! the coming
ynars beggary and humiliation. Well
I took the money, but what did I care
for laces and ribbons, and the Jove of
a spring b&t There w«8 a widening
of hesrts ight b- re. Tima pa e?d on;
wa were x-erv loving y t; he had used
these magic words t' 1 uie so often tliti^
was an but clay in the artist’s hands,
visits to my loved home were becom¬
ing few and far between; imitations to
loved friends were put off for a more
convenient season; changes in d-'ens
and many other little things, almost
itupreceptible in themselves, but ihe
shaping to the end. I was begining
to chaff under the many little restraints
that were continually placed around
me. I expect many women have
passed this thor-.y way. As woman’s
crowniDg glory, mothbrhco l, would
hoon be mine; I eomfoitod myself with
the thought that hero our hearts
be again drawn nearer together, as t?»e
little child would lead ns with ro-^y
fingers. Bat vain delusion. My
little blossom came, proving a girl. In
my joy l said hasten and ti ll my Wil¬
lie. He came m, and hastily kissing
me, hesaid, “Whatia it?” “A lit! io
giri.” “A giri? Why in the name oi

seems as if every wish of my heart is
to he thwarted. Where 13 the brat?"
Reader, could yon have hateutd
might have beard the crash «• a Iftlbm
idol in the deep recess of ray bleeding
heart. Why did not the kind angel
touch baby and I and let us *leep with
my namesakes? But life vf.<s ours,
and the love of ray child filled the
void, I still clung to him (tnv Wil¬
lie), but our heart! no longer beat as
ooe. I hud always been taught that
a woman must hou r her husband,
but my head rtbeihd. although our
journey through life would be side bv
side, so ray trim womanhood craw to
my uid. I knew that by bearing the
crosses of life cheerfully the burden
would be lightened. The sun still
ahone, ami flowers still bloom»*d, my
darling babes, of which there we e
four, friends wh<< loved me, ell went
t<» make up my I’ft*;?bur though year*
have passed never huve I let the words
of the poet cross my lips. Willie has
sometimes asked me if I have for*
gott^i our old talisman, and I feel a
chill creep up rny back for he puts
his foot on a grave ill my heart, and I
tell him they wets a fraud, and, to
use a slangy phrase, not worth a cou-
tinea sal. Pansy.
A Ballad of Long; iigo.
It was a mountain cienriug,
A cabin rude and lono,
The little Sparrow built her neat
Beside the sloping stone;
Across The briortd gate she sings
And where the malliens grow,
But then, she *ahg beside lbs door—
Long, long ago.
The fund f priaia l pine,
Behind the garden wall.
Dark-croated ranges dlosiugin
With rimggy hilteand low,
Stood frowning oil the stony fields,
Long, long ago.

Proud meil of stubborn SI re
This fonst life withstood;
Right boldly battled in their vdus
New Englftud’s hardy Hood;
Such wag the bearded settler,
Who loft the farms below
To build his cottage on the hills,
Long, lone ago.
Nursed at the breast of danger
To hot, rebellions line.
Such iron courage, strong the arm
Of her he took 10 wife;
She pledged her band.to KufiVr,
To give, entfuru, forgo—
Oh, women learned the price vf love
Long, long ago.
All day on Riga’s rooky sides
His noisy blrwe resound;
All day his gratiug plow divides
The a tiff, reluctant ground.
AH day he strip* the knotty ears
Or Skim* the creaking snow,
For thus revolved the silent years,

Her steady hand pursued;
She ma le the lagging i&lLw dip,
She split the snowy wood;
The porridge babbled on'tuqcrane,
The hearth was all aglow.

To fetch she water from the spring
A hundred yards aw«y.
Aud kneeling on the slippery bank
Where pine and hemlock grow,
She broke the st'Sening crust of ice,
Long, long ago!
A moment! from the dusky wood
Across tba hollow abode
She saw the fierce and stealthy shapes
Of Indian ambuscade;
