of on the fftfie of the earth. Burn it I could not. Break it I could not. I could not hide it in the attic, for Aunt Carraway would be sure to make an ex pedition thither within twenty-four hours of her arrival! If I should throw it behind the wood-shed, Biddy would trip oveS it and fracture her classic nose. A brilliant idea presented itself! I would bury it in the vegetable garden, near the potato patch, “The turf shall be its winding sheet,” sang I triumphantly, and bore it to the •pot. __A few spadefuls of earth, a few never smile on me again. A woman must be an angel to forgive an irrepara ble ir jury to a new dress. Of course I apologized, and of course she pretended not to care; but a certain freezing dignity crept into her manner for the remainder of the call, and "by the time we reached “the cunning little yellow squashes ” her enthusiasm was as dead as Julius Caesar.

Mrs. Ciggs-: well, with an infinitude of pins and an abundance of sympathy, made tempora ry repairs in the pink polonaise, and J Vowevf XfiyZk an unwonted chill at my heart. Looking across the street I espied a ragman’s cart standing -at the Widow Dickerman’s. A wild impulse seized me. I snatched the “ fiend ” from the ash barrel, and, as I ran up-stairs, called out, “ Bridget, run over to Mrs. Dicker- man’s, please, and tell that ragman to be sure and stop here.” The rag-bag always hung by Arabel la’s sewing-machine in the bedroom. Twisting the fiend into the smallest possible compass, I wrapped and tied it securely in a ragged dish-towei, and pnsiied it down, down, down, to the very bottom of the bag. No, that wouldn’t do. With a Machiavellian cunning I pulled the “ fiend ” up toward the mid dle, “He will never discover it till he gets to the paper-mill,” thought" ly “farewell, ruthless destroyer of my peace, farewelll” By the time my arrangments were completed the Widow Dickerman had come to the end of naif- f5j^fS*5ups and griddle-cake turners, and the cart was at the door. With a stolid countenance, but a throbbing heart, I stood nonchalantly by, while the peddler weighed ani- emptied tlia rags and counted out the cash. I did not draw a full breath till I saw the back of the cart vanish over the toj* of, the long, hilly street, on the OF LYNN, MASS. ■ l when life had j&y only, there fo$r thee, with thy arms crossed ting hf&l-t that wan my own, 'all that I had lost y breast thy lovely soul had flown., F^S^—'vHfjot that! and so I turned away, • .house when other mournors staid; ^ d: ' f rrme on that nnhanpy day . torab thvi dreadful thing was laid. not dead, but gone an hcrar '^Hthecr country, fair and sweet, by some undiscovered power y r> i ‘.h_ar | d boTirh UJ1 '■Z&s&s+ G9G feel that any give®, day - - i thee, gone awhile before iPs^rpmncs' to pass dutl works away, gor^thabroad Atiaitlic-aaore, long wave that breaks upon the Hand a message from me waiting here, spring breathes across the land Sigu that thou art JiD S erin S near. *t4nfcof thee as living there, keep thy grave in sweetest bloom TA&fc tjfeff"|ave8L a garden to injy care Ere thou departed from oiix Ei^glish gloom.
