A Retrospect.
If we had known when oor years were few,
All the Ilia oi the coming days;
If we had known when our love was new,
Dove may travel in thorny ways,
Should we have kept to our plighted troth?
Should we be linked by affection now?
Either loving, and neither loth,
Facing the future with fearless brow?
Clear and calm as the summer seas,
Smiling under the summer sky,
Scarcely stirred by the passing breeze,
Seemed oar life to the days gone by;
Suddenly came with a moaning sound
Over the waters a stormy wind,
Cicada and shadows were all around,
Hope and gladnets were left behind.
Yet it was best, for it brought us this.
Perfect trust for the years in store;
Come what may in oar lives amiss,
Doubt can trouble our hearts no more.
Dove that smiled when the morn was iair,
Well might fail ere the set of son;
Love that lasted through grief and care,
Well may last till our lives our done.
REUNITED.
“Ob, papa, I’m so tired P’
“I know you are, Ailsie, but we must
keep on until we reach the mountain
top.”
“Is mamma up there?” asked the
child; then with a wistful glance at
her father: “Do you think she will
be glad to see us, papa?”
“Glad to see you, I hope, but—oh,
Ailsie, you must ask her to forgive
me.”
There was a slight quiver in the
man's voice, and the child, although
not comprehending the cause of it,
laid her small hand on his Coat-sleeVe
with a sympathetic touch. They
walked on for some time without
speaking, then she broke the silence,
saying:
“Papa, why is mamma angry at
you ? I will not love her if she is not
good to you, for I love you dearly—
deafly.”
•T et us sit here awhile, Ailsie, and
I v ill endeavor to make you nnder
stani all abont it.”
She obeyed, glad of an opportunity
to rest her tired limbs. Crossing her
hands-on her lap she looked up into
his face trustfully.
“You see,” he began, “your mother
wasn’t like me; I mean long ago when
I first met her. She was a lady, and I
was a groom, or servant, on her fath¬
er’s place. She used to ride out every
day, and I rode after her to see that
no harm came to her. After awhile
we grew to be friends; then lovers.
She was only a chit of a girl, and when
i asked her to run away with me she
consented. One night she stole out of
her father’s house, and came to the
oak grove where I was waiting for
her. I had secured a fleet-footed
horse, and when morning dawned we
were miles away. We took passage
on a steamer bound for America, and
were married the day after our arri¬
val. For awhile she appeared happy
enough, although, of course, we were
very poor; but I was young and hope¬
ful, and loved my child-wife. Gradu¬
ally she began to pine for her old
home. She was unused to poverty,
and didn’t know how to bear the ups
and downs of life as a poor girl would
have done.
“She frequently upbraided me for
the misfortune I had brought upon
her and in time began to hate me. I
did the best I could for her and looked
forward to your birth, thinking she
would be more content when she held
her baby in her arms; but I was mis¬
taken, nothing could reconcile her to a
life of poverty with me
“When you were a few months old
I discovered she was receiving letters
from her father. Every day helped to
widen the breach between us. Although
she treated me with cold contempt, I
did not blame her much, for I knew
too well how I hacl ruined her life, and
her unhappiness increased mine ten¬
fold.
“At that time I was employed on the
docks. One morning while at work a
lady, closely veiled, accompanied by a
gentleman and nurse with a child in
her arms, passed me. Something about
her figure attracted my attention, and
as I turned to look after them, I caught
a glimpse of the baby's face. I stood
for a moment unable to move or
speak. Meanwhile they boarded a
steamer that w’ould sail for Liverpool
in a few hours. When I recovered
from my surprise I went as rapidly as
possible to the home that had never
been a happy one, and learned that my
wife and child had gone away in a
carriage an hour or two before. Burn¬
ing with rage and excitement I hur¬
ried back to the vessel. Your mother
was on deck talking earnestly to her
companion, and the nurse was saying
good-by to some friends who had come
to see her off. I walked boldly up to
her and inquired the number of her
state-room, saying that her mistress
had sent me for her shawl. The girl
replied that she would go and get it,
but I said pleasantly, ‘Talk to your
friends while you have tima’ Only
too glad of an opportunity to have a
last word with those she was leaving
behind, she told me the number, at the
same time charging me to be careful
and not awaken the baby. Trembling
with excitement I hurried to the stater
room, wrapped you in the shawl, and
walked off the steamer. Have I made
the story of my early life clear to you,
Ailsie?”
“Yes, papa, I understand it perfect
ly, and am so sorry for yon, poor, poor
dear papa.” Then, with a wistful
glance in bis face, “Do yon think mam¬
ma cried for me—for her baby ?”
“It may be that she did, but proba¬
bly the prospect of being reunited to
her family lessened her grief for your
loss. Twelve years have passed, and I
have never seen or heard from her
since. I have heard of her, though,
and know that our marriage was an¬
nulled on the ground that she was too
young to wed without the consent of
her parents, and about seven years ago
she became the wife of a man of rank.
Th3t was the last news I had of her.
I wroDged your mother, Ailsie, and
wronged you in taking yon from her.
And now, if she will receive you back,
I will give you up. But you will not
return to her penniless—you will have
a fortune of twenty thousand dol
lars.”
“And you will live with us, papa?”
“No, child, I will return to my old
life in the mines.”
“Oh, papa!” cried Ailsie, bursting
into a passionate flood of tears, “I can
not, will not, stay there without you!”
He drew the child to his breast and
soothed her with tender words, telling
her that she would soon learn to love
her mother—that he would watch over
her, and perhaps see her often. After
she grew calm they started on their
journey again, and soon reached the
old-fashioned inn where they were to
pass the night.
Ailsie retired early, and her father
descended to the- public room, where,
after a few moments’ conversation
with the landlord, he learned that Ail
sie’s mother. Lady Caroline Denbeigh,
was living in retirement at Denbeigh
hall, with her child, a sickly little fel¬
low, about four years of age. The old
lord had been dead a year or more, and
the Hon. Mrs. Featherstone, Lady Gas¬
oline’s mother, had been with her un¬
til recently, but was then in Paris.
The next morning Ailsie and her
father went down to the village hotel,
where their luggage had been sent a
week before, and, after making the
needful change in their dress, they set
out for the Hall.
The well-dressed, gentlemanly-look¬
ing individual who walked up the
graveled path with.a firm step and in¬
dependent air, bore but a faint resem¬
blance to the groom with whom Caro¬
line Featherstone had eloped some
fourteen years before.
As they approached the house, he
espied Lady Denbeigh and the young
heir on the broad veranda, and his
heart gave a quick, painful throb as he
gazed upon the face he knew so well.
“Is that lady my mamma ?” whis¬
pered Ailsie.
“Hush,” he answered softly; then
under his breath. “Time will tell if
she is indeed your mother.” Lifting
his hat respectfully he said:
“I have come to crave a few mo
ments’ conversation with you madam
in behalf of this child,”
Something in his tone touched a
chord in her breast that vibrated pain¬
fully. She looked earnestly from one
to the other, then with a sudden effort
recovered her calmness and said:
“State the nature of your errand,
sir.”
He had fancied himself fully pre¬
pared for this interview, but finding
himself face to face with the woman he
had never ceased to love, his courage
failed him; and the man who had been
knocking around the world for years
whose wealth had made him powerfu 1
and self-asserting grew as embarrassed
as a school girl. The fine speeches he
had meant to utter were forgotten.
Drawing Ailsie to his side he blurted
out almost saragely:
“Does not your heart tell you who
this child is?”
Pale with emotion she cried:
“Tell me Miles Carlyle! tell me
quickly—is it my lost baby?” Reach¬
ing out her hands she swayed for a
meftnent and would have fallen had he
not caught her in his arms. When she
opened her eyes again Ailsie was bend¬
ing over her.
“Are you better, mamma?” she in¬
quired, stroking her mother’s pale
cheek.
“Is it true then—are you indeed my
lost darling?” murmured Lady Den¬
beigh faintly.
“Yes, mamma, and I am going to
love you dearly to make up for the
time we have not known each other.”
Some hours elapsed before Lady
Dedbeigh was sufficiently composed to
listen to a recital of t^e events that
had transpired since Ailsie’s abduction.

NO. 5.
Then Miles told her how he had gone
West with the baby, where, after a
sharp struggle with poverty, he finally
obtained employment, and from that
time onward had been what the world
terms a successful man. How while
amassing wealth he had striven to cul¬
tivate his mind. He was now a rich
man. The few relatives he had left in
his old home were dead and in the
event of his demise Ailsie would be en¬
tirely alone.
His chief reason for seeking Lady
Denbeigh was to entreat her to receive
the child, and bestow upon her smoth¬
er’s loving care. He would settle upon
her a sum sufficient for all her wants,
so that in a pecuniary sense she would
not be a burden.
Lady Denbleigh gladly agreed to all .
his plans for the girl’s future. Ailsie
was to stay at the Hall, and Miles
would remain in the village, seeing
her every day until she grew accus¬
tomed to her new life.
At first Lady Denbeigh maintained
a dignified reserve before him, but on
the eve of his departure for London
she confessed that when she had real¬
ized what efforts he had made to secure
her happiness, she had bitterly regret¬
ted deserting him, and had written
craving his forgiveness. For years
detectives had searched for the child.
Although legally separated from him,
she had kept his image enshrined in
her heart, and not until convinced he
was dead did she, at the urgent solici
tation of her family, consent to marry
Lord Denbeigh.
“I scarcely blamed you for returning
to the life of luxury and refinement
from which I had taken yon,” he ad¬
mitted. “And as years went by I saw
more distinctly the social gulf which
divided us, and realized more fully the
wrong I had committed. When I heard
you were married to one of your own
rank, I rejoiced for your sake, even
when acknowledging to myself that
you were lost to me forever.”
His tone was infinitely sad. He
bowed his head for a moment, and
seemed lost in gloomy reflections.
“Did you never meet any one—I
mean--”
He looked up—their eyes met.
“Any one to fill the void in my lone¬
ly heart? Ho.”
“Oh, Miles, forgive me—forgive
me!”
Pride, reserve, were cast aside, and
she lay sobbing in his arms.
A week later the Hon. Mrs. Feath.
erstone read in the London Times:
“Married, at Denbeigh, July 10th
Miles Carlyle to Lady Caroline, widow
of the late Lord Denbeigh.”
“Carrie always did have low tastes.
I suppose this is the same creature she
eloped with before, and I am glad her
poor father is not living to hear of this
new disgrace,” was her angry com¬
ment.
An Indian “ Thirst Dance.”
A Canadian paper gives the follow¬
ing interesting account of a thirst
dance: “The dance commenced about
sundown on Monday and was kept up
until the same time on Wednesday
evening. The dancers were dressed as
fantastically and painted as hideously
as possible, and kept goose-bone
whistles between their lips, making
unearthly sounds with them while
dancing to the music of the drum and
the eternal ‘hi-ya’ of all concerned .
They were allowed to sit down when
the music stopped, but as long as the
drums kept going the dancers had to
keep going too. They were not sup¬
posed to either eat, drink, or rest,other¬
wise than by squatting down when
the drumming ceased for the forty
eight hours that the dance lasted. On
Tuesday afternoon an Indian named
Tongue Master went through the mill
by allowing two wooden pins to be put .
through the flesh of his breast and
then fastened to a rope which hung
from the top of the centre pole. His
part of the performance was to lean
back and let the greater part of his
weight come on the pins as he was
dancing; but he found that it was a
more painful operation than he had
calculated ou and gave up. Another
Indian went through, the same per¬
formance on Wednesday, but with
much better grace. A sham fight on
Wednesday afternoon was very excit¬
ing, as guns were fired at very close
quarters, so close, indeed, that one of
the fighters had his cap blown off by -
the powder from a double-barreled
shotgun. After the sham fight the
brave ones, both men and women, re¬
lated their experiences in killing Black
feet, one woman saying that she had
scalped a Blackfoot while he was yet
alive. The statement was greeted
with loud applause.”
