BT MISS AMELIA THBOPP. Malxl Viiuglii) was the daughter of a plain, respectable farmer residing in the State of Pennsylvania, He wau a hard­ working, honest man, but a poor man­ ager, always in arrears in his payments, and at the time I now write much in debt. The old, two-story farm-house, with its white walla, rustic porch and green blinds* stood upon an eminence, with a lawn in front slopiug down upon the winding public road. On the left was a garden inclosed with white-washed pal­ ings, and an orchard to the right. The latter sloped back to meadow lands, through which a broad stream flowed, with banks bordered with willow and v alder; a large buttouwood tree shaded the back yard with its wide spreading branches, whilst iu the spring and sum­ mer time festoons of wotnlbine and roses clustered over the rustic porch in front. • From the latter was seen a broad ex­ panse of rolling country dotted here and there with groves of trees. On the right, by the roadside, a little distance oft', stood a two-story frame country inn, whose gaily painted si^n-board swung lazily in the air; the white spires of the fur-off village were seen in the distauce. The soene was of a well-cultivated, coun­ try landscape, which, iu its peaceful soli­ tude, was tempting to the wornout. fash­ ionable people of the heated, dusty cities, and in summer many thronged the rural neighborhood. Mabel was the eWest of nine children, and, at the time I introduce her, in her nineteenth year. She was tall, fair, handsome, with a slight, symmetrical figure, clear complexion, large, deep bine eyes, fringed with long black lashes, well-shap'vl nose, and a mouth tempting as a rosebud; her waving masses of golden hair crowned her well-shaped head like a * halo. She was a beautiful, refined, superior creature, entirely out of keeping with her rude surrounding. The country lads were quite iu awe of the beautiful girl, whom they called cold hearted and proud. This was because they failed to understand her refined, superior nature. She was not entirely satisfied with hex lot, and was often oppressed with a strange longing for something better than she had known. She was fond ol books, and eagerly grasped any chance reading matter which came in her way. It was the calm of a lovely Sabbath &« •he sat upon the grass, leaning against an old apple tree, with a book in her hand; her snowy dress floating around her like a cloud, whilst a large straw hat was keeping her calm blue eyes in shade. The trees were laden with blos­ soms, whilst the hum of l»ees filled the air as they were laying in their winter supply of honey. Tlie air was full of fragrance, and Mabel, with a half list­ less admiration, viewed the scene, which was fair enough to kindle the eye of an artist Philip Adair was the son of a neigh­ boring farmer. He and Mabel had l>een brought up together, their families l>eing fast friends. He was a tall, handsome, dturk-complexioned young man of three-, ami-twenty summers. His father was a man of a different character from Mr. Vaughn--iudustrious and managing, with his fine farm out of debt, and "a little" as he said, "laid up for a rainy day." Philip, his eldest son, was the pride of his parents and the admiration of the neighborhood, on account of his neighborhood. He was a widower of about forty-five. For the last three years he had been traveling abroad. On his return, before settling down to city life, he had concluded to rusticate in this quiet neighborhood for rest for himself and a good time for his two little sons. He was a well educated, superior man, of larjre mer.us and prominent position. His elegant appearance and haughty manners won for him the awe and admi­ ration of the people of the place, and the farmers' daughters were anxious by their charms to induce him to marrv ana locate in the neighlKirhood. Mabel had heard much of Mr. Claire but had not felt the least interest in him. One even­ ing as she was returning from the vil­ lage. whither she had l)een making a few purchases, she met an elegant looking gentleman leading by the hand a little boy. From the description she had heard, she at once recognized him as Mr. Claire. She felt embarrassed by the gaze of evident admiration he fixed upon her face. The next evening she heard a knock on the front hall floor, and on opening it found, to her astonishment, the gentleman there. He bowed low to her, introducing himself as Mr. Claire, apologizing for the call, saving in vindi­ cation tliH.t, "he had been informed that Mr. Vaughn had an idea of selling his place, and took the liberty to call and see if there was any truth in the report, us he wns so much pleased with this part of the country that lie hod conclu­ ded to purchase a farm where he and the boys might ruralize for the summers." Malted blushed deeply at the remarks of the stranger, and informed him that "she was very sorry to be forced to acknowledge that the reports were cor­ rect.. " The trnth was, Mr. Vanghn, who was always in pecuniary embarrassments, hart lately lrxst heavily, and as Mr. Adair 'who was his friend in need) at last had become ont of patience with him, he would either be forced to sell now, or the property would be sold for him, as there was no way at raising the large tmount due. Mr. and Mrs. Vaugnn were absent, trying to persuade Mr. Mair to assist them out of their difli- eulties, but this time ho was inexorable. Mr. Claire was delighted at the op­ portunity of awaiting tlieir return. "You would regret, Miss Vaughn," he "to leave the old place?" "Yes. sir; it is our home. Wo children have all been born here, and we have the , ' most pleasant and tender associations ^ connected with the dear old placa. I ihall be very unliappv if we are forced k» leave it" "You nay not be forced to ga Often, when we are on the verge of some jpain- fal misfortune, a kind Providence inter­ poses, and we are extricated from our painful position." "Those are romantic events,** replied Mabel. "We read of them in novels, but they seldoni occur in real life." "Reality, Miss Vaughn, is stranger Ulan fiction, and allow me to predict that something will occur to prevent your leaving the old place." "That, sir, would be making us all foo happy." On the return of her parents, Mabel quickly withdrew. Mr. Vaughn was de­ lighted with his distinguished guest,. who promised to call the next day to look over the farm. He came not only then, but on many succeeding days, until Mabel began to tliiuk it was herself, not the farm, iu which he was most in­ terested. This caused her alarm, and she tried to avoid the assiduous stranger. She had often rejoiced iu her beauty for Philip's sake. She now turned from her mirror with pain, regarding it as her greatest misfortune. Mr. Claire would not see her ^dif­ ference, but kept persistently visiting the old farm, and overwhelming her with costly presents. Atvlast he frightened her with an offer, which she positively declined. He expected this, and went to her parents, telling them that he loved their daughter, and if she could be in­ duced to wed him, he would pay off the entire indebtedness of the farm, and assist them out of all embarrassments for the future. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn were at this time very indignant at their neighbor f <»r not assisting them, and considered Mr. Claire's position as quite a blessing. "It will be all right, sir, I am sure," replied the delighted father. "Mable is- e noble oirl. She will love you as v-r noble nature and mental superiority. He worked hard on the farm, and all bis spare time was devoted to study. He had loved Mabel passionately from child­ hood, and she in return gave him her undivided heart. Philip's ambition was to go to the city of P and study for a lawyer and locate there, making his way up to prominence if possible. He had for some time been endeavoring to induce his father to ad­ vance a sufficient amount for this scheme, out of what iu future would come to him out of the estate. Mr. Adair was at first reluctant, not knowing how he could" manage without him; but, wishing to do justice to his noble sou, and being yet in his vigorous prime, with two active younger boys, ne finally consented, say­ ing to his wife: "We will not oppose the boy, Mary, for there is the making of a great man I ing the matter, accused her of duplicity in him, and we will never let him re- I and a love of display.

Once she passed him "Don't be proud, father." replied the j in her elegant carriage; their eyes met; fond little mother, "li Philip continue* < neither spoke, Iwth considering thern- little dreaming how often her smile had an aching heart. The following spring, when all nature was light and smiling, when the apple trees were again in bloom, Mable was sitting alone by one of the "front-room" windows. In a few days she was to be married. She sat listlessly lookiug over the wide-spreading landscape, thinking of her ruined happiness. Suddenly she was startled, for Philip Adair stood out upon the }H>reh before her. His looks were strangely altered-- so pale and stern. Mabel, in an agony of despair, looked up, and for a moment they gazed fixedly into each other's pale faces. At last Mabel exclaimed: "Philip, why are you «omet Ton know I have given you up." "Mabel, I have come to hear from your own lips that which none could force me to believe. 'Mine until death, Philip,'" said he, bitterly. "I thank ! my God that I am rid of one so un- ! worthy ! When I left you, Mabel, I went away with no thought but of you and your happiness. Whilst I was labor­ ing for this, you were plotting to wouud me in the cruelest way; you little know, Mal»el Vaughn, the mischief you have done! Farewell, Mid may a "just God deal with you as you have dealt with me!" He turned quickly, leaped from the porch, hastened through the front yard, mounted his horse, and was soon gallop­ ing along the highway. Mabel was liewil lered at first. Arous­ ing herself, she followed as far as the wicket gat» in time to see him disappear­ ing in the dim distance. She held out her arms toward him, exclaiming, "Philip!1' with a bitter cry of pain. Then she returned, and, seating herself upon the steps of the porch, buried her face in her hands, whilst her whole frame shook with her agitated feelings. Thus they parted, they who hat! vowed to go through life together. * * * * a Mabel's joyless wedding was over. She left with Mr. Clair to preside over his elegant, establishment iu the city of P . He was a cold, selfish mau of the world. There was no congeniality between them, and Mabel, though sub­ missive, found her life a blank. As time rolled on the gulf widened and widened lietweeu them, he regarding her with jealous suspicion, knowing she had mar- ri«*l him without love, and considering himself injured iu marrying one iu her gwition and not having it appreciated. e was lilnral toward her family, and Mal>el felt kindly toward him when she saw them prosperous and happy. Philip Adair, never rightly understand- to be as good as he is now, we will have sufficient cause to be grateful." "Well, well, little woman, his father will expect to see him become great, and continue good; the two make a beautiful combination." . ^ As Mattel sat listlessly contemplating the scene, Philip Adair approached, un­ noticed, through the meadow, and stood looking with intense love and admiration upon her lovely face. As he did so, his shadow ominously crossed hers upon the grass. "I will ask her again," he mentally exclaimed, "to renew her engagement, lest some city man should come along whilst I am away and rob me of my treas­ ure. " As these thoughts crossed his mind, without speaking, he threw himself upou the clover at her feet She started, whilst a flood of crimson colored her face, and looked shyly toward her eager, handsome suitor, exclaim­ ing: "Is that you, Phil? I have l>een ex­ pecting you." He was silent; he h&d come with a story to tell. Mabel guessed it before he had said a word. "Something has happened," she said, gazing into his pale, stul face. "Do not conceal it from mo." "Do not be frightened, Mabel; father and mother at last have given their con­ sent to my going to the city of P to study for a lawyer, that is all," he said, forcing a nervous laugh. "I shall be gone for two or tliree years, perhaps, and will leave much sooner than I exacted --to-morrow, iu fact.. You will give me a solemn promise to wait for me, dorl- selves injured. Philip was surprised to see the dark ectipse that hail dimmed the radiant beauty; never, he thought, had he seen a human being so pale. "She has reaped what she has sown," said he, bitterly, though his heart was full of pity. The lips may utter severe re­ proaches whilst the poor, tortured heart is all love the while. Pride conceals anguish, and Philip, in spite of his bit­ ter words, would have died to save her if he could. When he again saw her she was still paler. She lay in her coffin, and waa beautiful even there. When she felt her' end approaching she beckoned to her mother, saying: " It may be a foolish request, mamma dear, but bear wit h me, for mine is a tired and wounded spirit When I am no more, it will be a pleasure for you to know you have consented to my dying request Please have me buried iu the old orchard, under my favorite tree." So when the apple trues were again in bloom they buried her there. It was a bright sunny day. The liirds sang sweetly by the windiug river, wliitfh shone like a band of silver unrolled, the bees hummed from flower to flower, the only inanimate thing was the sleeper beneath the coffin lid. Philip Adair prospered wonderously and grutitied the ambition of his parents and f riends. He became a distinguished man in the world, made a brilliant mar­ riage, and was considered by his less fortunate friends a lucky fellow. But though favored by many blessings, there was always a solitary plaoe in his heart --a void which the world could not sat­ isfy or fill. In society he was gay and ing ?

You will wait for me?" he repeated, looking earnestly into her face. "I will wait until I die, Philip," she replied. "God bless yon, darling," he said, kissing her now pale cheeks, which again became crimson-dyed. "You shall not regret it." j As twilight began to deepen into night j Philip arose, and, giving Mabel his arm ] they walked along the winding river. ; The night birds sang softly, aud the ' stars began to glimmer one by one in their azure setting.

The uncertain future is wisely con­ cealed from us; only our present duties are pluin. Philip went to the city, and Mabel de- they can no more secure than they can grasp a shadow.

And so the wrecked hopes and fortunes may be counted by i voted herself with her usual patieuce to j the thousands, and crime, ignominy and her home duties.

Such was the name given to MoDon- ald Clarke, a wild, eccentric writer of verses, who lived in the city of New York some thirty years ago. He had a talent for improvisation, which he used to celebrate the charms of those persons of whom, from time to time, he became enamored A volume of his poems, published by subscription, contains in the preface these touching paragraphs: "I won't §»ester Mks with apologiea.

"Please, sir, let me shine vonr boots ?" rimnltanecnislj ejaculated two little boot-blacks, on Galveston avenue, as the stranger stopped in front of them and hesitated which to employ. The smaller bor said: "Let mo shine 'em np, sir, for I have to support a little siok brother at home, who is deformed, and can't see." "Let me shine 'em np?" chimed in the lugger one, "for I am that poor little sick brother, and I don't want to be under any obligations to snch an infernal liar any more. He hasn't got any brother, no how, and I can see better than he can."--Galveston jVtwa. It Was Hungry. A fair young mother, with a crying babe in her arms, Rat in a Western stage coach. On the opposite seat was a prom- uent politician of engaging manners. By and by he said: "Let ine hold your baby. Perhaps I can soothe him." "Oh', no; I am much obliged; you couldn't help me any," was the answer. "But," he persisted, "you had better let me try." "You are very kind; but I know you couldn't help me, for he is hungry," replied the blushing mother. A writer tells a i&ory he heard the other day about Mr. Grierson, the mana­ ger of the Great Western Railway. He waft traveling in the same compartment as a friend of the writer's. The train drew np at Acton station, when an ener- fetic porter loudly vociferated: * * Hacton! [acton!" A little while later the train stopped at HanweU, when a porter of even greater energy than his eonj'rere at Acton screamed out: "'An well! 'An well!" --upon which Mr. Grierson turned round to a gentleman he was with, and said: "You see how difficult it is always to get the right man in the right place. 1 must have that Acton porter bronght here, and send that fellow to Acton, ont of renpect both for our passengers and the Queen's English."
