A farmer travelling with his load Picked up a. horseshoe in tho road, And nailed it fast to his bani door, That Luck might. down upon him pour, Might crown his homestead and his wife, Ami never any kind of harm Desceml upon his growing farm. But dire ill-fortune soon began To visit the astounded man. His hens declined to lay their eggs ; His bacon tumbled from the pegs, And rats devoured the fnllen legs ; His corn, that never failed before, Mildewed and rotted on the flour; His grass refused to end in hny ; His cattle died, or Went estmy ; In short, all move! the crooked way. Next spring a great drought baked the nod1 And roasted every pea. In pod ; The beans declared they could not grow So long as nature acted so ; ‘ Redundant insects reared their brood To starve for lack of juicy food ; ‘ The at -\cs from barrel sides went ofi“ ' A: if they had the hon )ing‘coagh, Ana nothing of the use ul kind To hold together felt inclined ; In short, it was no use to t While all the land was in may. One morn, dcmomlizcd with grief, The farmer elanmred for relief ; And prayed right hard to understand tht Witchcraft now possessed his lsnd ; Why house and farm in misery grew Since he nailed up the ‘ 'lucky” shoe. While thus dismayed o'er matters wrong An old man chanced to trudge along, To whom he told with wormwmd tears, How his slfaiirs wore in arrears, And what s desperate state of things A picked-up horseshoe sometimes brings. The stronger sik d to see the shoe, The farmer brought it into, vlew ; But when the old man raised his head, He laughed outright, and quickly said, “No Wonder skies upon you frownâ€" You're nailed the horseshoe upside down ! Just turn it round, and soon you'll see How you and Fortune will agree." The former tnsued the horseshoe round. And showers begun to swell the ground ; The sunshine laughed among his grain, And heaps on heaps piled up the “min ; ’l‘he loft his hay could barely hold, His cattle did us they were sold ; His fruit trees needed sturdy props To hold the gathering no lo crops ; His turnip and potato fieli‘ls Astonisned all men by their yields; Folks neVer saw such ears of corn As in his smiling bills were borne ; His barns were full of hunting bins - His wife presented him with twins 3 His neighbors msrvelled more sud more To see the increase in his store. And now the men-v farmer sings “There are two wsys of doing thin ; And when for good luck you woul prey, Nail up your horseshoe the right way." â€"J.un:s T.

" l’my, Miss Hastings, do not check such delightful frankness.” cried Sir Oswald, mgrily. his hands trembling, his (too dark- ening with an angry frown. Ho said no more ; but the captain, who thought he saw a chance of recommending himself to Miss Dart-en’s ’favour, observed, Inter on in the evening : "I knnw you Would not like our visitor, Miss Dun-ell. She was not of the kind to Attract you." "Sir Oawnlcl forced my opinion from me,” the mill . “ but I shall not listen to one word of «lisparagemont of Miss Rocheford from yon. Captain Langton.

She was living here in the very cradle of the race, where every tree had its legend, every stone its story ; how muld she be indifi'erent while the annals of her house were filled with noble retro- spects? The Unuells had numbered great warriors and statesmen among their number. Some of thelnoblest Women in England had been Darrells ; and Pauline had learned to glory in the old stories, and to feel her heart bent with pride as she remembered that she, too, was Darrell. So. likewise, she had grown to love the Coin-t. for its pictureaqe beauty, its stately magnificence, and the time came soon when almost every tree xuul shrub was dear to her. It was Pauliue’s nature to love deeply and passionately if she loved at all ; there was no lukewarmuess about her. 1 She wss incapable of those gentle. womanly likings that ssve nll wear sud tesr of passion. She could not love in moderation; and very soon the love of Darrell I.‘ourt became a passion with he). She sketched the mansion from twenty pointslof View. she wrote verses about it; she lavished upon it the love which some girls lavish upon parents, brothers, sisters and friends. She stood one day looking at it as the western snnbeauns lighted it up as though it were bathed in gold. The stetely towem end turrets, the floWer-wreethed balconies. the grand arched windows, the Gothic porch all made up a magnificent picture ; the fountains were playing in the sun-light air, the birds singing in the stately trees. She turned to Miss Hastings. and the governess sow tears standing warm end bright in the girl’s eyes. “ It is very beautiful," she laid ; “but. Pauline, do not love it too much ; remember how very unceruin everything is." “How beautiful it in Q" she said ; “I can- not tell youâ€"l have no words to tell youâ€" how I love my home.” " Still." «it! Miss Hastings. "1 would not love it too wall ; everything In uncut-in.” The heart of the gentle lady contracted with sudden fest. "'l'here canbe nothing uncertain nbont my inheritance," ntnrnod the girl. "I am n Darrellâ€"the only Darrell left to lnherlt it. And, oh ! Miss Hastings, how I love it ! but it is not for its wealth thnt I love it; it is my heart thntia bound to it. I love it u I fancy n husband loves his wife, a mother her child. It In everything to me." “But not that.” replied Penline, quickly.

A few doys Inter the tranquility of Darrell Court was st on end. The invited guests were expected, and Sir steld had deter- mined to do - them all honor. The state- spartmente, which hsd not been used during his tenure, were all thrown open ; the superb lull-room, once the pride of the county, was redwornted :the long. empty corridors and suits of apartments reserved for visitors, were once more full of life. Miss Hastings was the presiding genius ; Pauline Darrell took for less interest in the preparations. “ I am glad," she said, one morning, “that I am to see your ‘world,’ Slr Oswald. You despise mine ; l almll be anxious to no what yours is like." The haronet unswered her teatily .- "I «lo not quite understand your remarks about 'worlds.‘ Surely we live under the some condition-3’ “Not in the "mo world of people " sh. opposed: “And [I‘m anxious to see whnt yours is like." "What do you expect to find in what you are plensod to call my (world, Pauline 2" he naked, angrily. “Little truth, and plenty of nfl'ectation; little honour. and plenty of poli'nh; little honesty. and very high-lonnrling wordl; little sincerity, Ind plenty of deceit." “By what right do you lie in judgment 2" he demanded. "None st ell,” replied] Penline‘; “but u people ere elwnya speaking ill of the deer, honest world in which 1 have to live, I mey nrely be permitted to criticise the world that in outeidetit." "Why do you my to Sir Ounld in I (“Mon “at :lvnyt £111th him I" the no menstrual. Sir Oswald tamed any angrily 33nd Mia Hating- sighed over the glrl'u willfulnou. "We live in a {no ooquy. 3nd in. out of on (union: of upoeoh. " "I am fluid the city will come whon you will pty a Md price [or youn. But Pauline Darrell only laughed. Such fear never affected her; she would sooner have expected to see the heavens {all at her feet than that Sir Oswald ohould not leave Darrell Court to herâ€"his mace. a Darrell. with the Darrell face end the Darrell figure. the true, proud features of the race. He would never dare to do otherwise ; the thought, and she would not condescond to change either her thought or speech to please him. “The Dan-elk do not know fear," she would say ' " there never yet was an ex- ample of a. Darrell being frightened into any- thing.” So the breach between the uuclo and the niece grew wider every day. He could not understand her; the grand, untrained, un- disciplined. poetical nature was beyond him â€"ho could neither reach its heights nor ta". them its depths. There were times when he thought thet, despite her outward coldness and pride, there was within a coal of fire, when he dimly nude-"toad the magnificence of the character he could not read. when he suspected there [might be some real that could not be narrowed or forced into a common groove‘ Nevertheless he feared her; he was afraid to trust, not the honor, but the fame of his har . the fame of his har . “She is capable ofv‘upyt'hing," he would repeat to himself again and again. " She would. fling the Darnell revenues to the wind; she would transform Darrell Court into one huge observatory if astronomy pleased her â€"intu one huge laboretory. if she gave her- self to chemistry. One thing in perfectly clear to meâ€"she can never be my heiress until the is safely married." And, after great deliberationâ€"after lit. toning to all his heart’s pleading in favour _ of her grace. her beauty, her royal generou- ity of character, the claim of her name and her truthâ€"ho came to the decision that if she would marry Captain Langton, whom he loved perhaps better than any one else in the world, he would at onoo' make his will adopt her, and leave her heiress of all that he hadgin the world. _ . One morning the captain confided in him, telling him how dearly he loud his beauti- ful nioce, and then Sir Oswald revoaled his intention. "You understand, Aubrey.” he aidâ€"- “the girl is megnificantly beautifulâ€"she in e true Del-roll; but 1 an frightened shout her.
