Years passed and James Lick erected in Santa Clara county, Cal., a mill, the wood-work of which is solid mahogany. Shortly after its erec­ tion he had photographs taken of the inside and outside of his mill, and sent them to the miller who had refused him the hand of his daughter. Eh ?" said papa, looking up; and j means of rest and animal heat without catching the expression of the two faces before him, he fell into the humor, and, as he rose, said, with a wave of his hand toward the waiting tea-table, " Very ferred upon me by the admiring par- well, my dear, we'll feed him." tialitv of farmer Hawes.'

"Where is Sue?" inquired Mrs. Mel­ lington, entering the room where her two eldest daughters were employed, the one in reading, the other with a bit of fancy work. " I really don't know, mamma," an­ swered Ada, hx)king np from her work. " I have had scarcely a glimpse of Sue ttince we Came to the country. She ap­ pears to have taken to an outdoor life, and is never in the house except at night.** " I saw her about two hours ago on her way to the orchard," remarked Rose. " She said she was going to feed the pigs, and would afterward take a lesson in milking." " I wish I could find her,"'resumed Mrs. Mellington. " I am sure that Col. Hanley or his son will call this afternoon, and it is proper that Sue should be pres­ ent She did not appear on their former visit.** "She will shock the Colonel by her hoydenish manners, and, as to his son, I hardly think he will particularly admire her. He doesn't fancy female society, I've heart!, and prefers his dogs and horses. And wasn't he a little wild at college, manuun^?" "A little t<x> fond of wlisit is called fun --nothing more that I have ever heard. He is a clever young man, will be wealthy, and is, next to his father, the best match in the neighborhood, though, as you s«*y, he don't appear to care par­ ticularly for ladies' society. I fancy he looked rather bored while talking to that stately Miss Radstoek, clever and hand­ some as she is. And then he must know that all the girls are trying to secure him, which naturally makes him shv of them." These remarks were clearly intended as hints to her daughters, for Mrs. Mil, lingtou was a genuine match-maker, and had already married off two daughters advantageously. Finding that the remaining eldest daughter had failed to make the doeired Impression *>n either Col. Hanley f)t hia "Ion, she had bethought herself of pro­ ducing Sue, hitherto, as the youngest and prettiest, carefully kept in the back­ ground. But, meanwhile, where Was Sue? She had filled a basket with apples for flie pigs, strolled around the orcliard, ad­ mired the trees and the fruit, and climbed a low plum tree, in order to gather an especially fine one for her father. In this position her eye was caught by a loW line of green willows, bordering the sloping meadows beyond the orchard. "It looks as though a stream were there," she thought, "and I do so love water. I dare say it is so lovely under those willows. Come Rolla," calling to a little half-groWn terrier, " you and I will go on an exploring expedition together. " Rolla, after coaxing, rather sulkily •beyed. He was an ugly little, crooked- legged, hairy-muzzled pup, which Sue Itad, on her arrival at the farm, begged •f the fanner for a pet. Yet Rolla, despite all the petting, did not take to this pretty young mistress, but |>ersi»ted Hi evincing a decided preference for the barn and kitchen, and low life in general. She was not disappointed in her expecta­ tion. She found a clear, shallow stream, which ran rippling and murmuring £leasantly beneath the willows, between licketof wild rose and blossoming elder. She seated herself on tho grassy bank, took off firHt her hat and then her shoes and stockings, and allowed the cool rip­ ples to dance about her white feet. Then she became interested in watching some Insect. life on the surface of the water, and when satisfied with this, resumed her shoes and stockings and lay back on the «ool turf, dreamily reciting snatches of poetry. A stray sunbeam glinted on her rip­ pling brown hair, and the eyes that looked up tlirougli the waving foliage were as deeply Mue and clear as the snmmer sky overhead. Pity that there was no stray artist to gaze upon the picture. Suddenly Sue awoke to the fact that Bolla had disappeared, He had been anelling abont the bushes, and had now stolen off on the track of some scent, per­ ceptible only to his own keen olfactories. Sue lifted up her voice, and called in ker sweet, clear, girlish tones: "Rolla? Rolla!" In answer there -was presently a rustl­ ing timid the elder bushes, and forth stepped not the culprit Rolla, but a very . handsome young man, equipped with a gun and game-hag. Sue sprung up. Each stared for an nstant at the other; then the gentleman, gracefully lifting his hat, said: v " May I inquire, Miss, what you want with me?" " Want with you ?" responded she, in surprise. " Yee; I was crossing the field yonder, wlieu I heard you call me," he replied, with a slightly demure expression about his mouth and eyes. " I called you ?" said Sue, indignant- V "Yes; you called 'Rolla,' very dis­ tinctly and earnestly," replied he, biting the corner of his mustache, " and I, of •ourse, obeyed the summons, and am at your service. My name is Holland, or Bolla, AS I am familiarly called." Sue surveyed him from head to foot "Oh," said she, coolly, "it was a mis­ take on your part It was not you, but fee other puppy, I was calling. His same is also Rolla." "Indeed! where is he?" inquiredJte gentleman, looking around with a gnjft •«xpm«ion of interest " He has run away from me," --was calling to me. Belongs to you now. does he? Happy dog!" And he stopped and patted RoUa's head. She turned sharply. "Are you going away sir, or shall II" she demanded. "Oh, I would not for the world in­ commode you! And I beg you to re­ member that I came only because I fan­ cied you were calling me, having prob­ ably seen me passing. I saw you from the bank above. Pray excuse the mis­ take, and allow me to wish you a good evening." And with a courteous bow, he disap­ peared among the bushes. She stood looking indignantly after him until he disappeared. "The impudent puppy!" she murmur­ ed; "I never heard oi such assurance." And then a slow smile rippled over her face which she remorselessly biting the corner "Come, Rolla, dued voice, "come, sir, and go home; and see how you get into scrapes again." She climbed the bank into the meadow, the, dog followed with a subdned and culprit-like mien. But suddenly he gave a short, sharp bark, and at the same moment another and stronger sound smote upon Sue's ear. It was a low, hoarse, sobbing murmur, which seemed to swell into an angry roar. "If I were in Africa, I should fancy that a lion's roar!" thought Sue, curious­ ly looking around. In an instant her cheek became deadly pale, and she stood breathless and trans- j fixed, as a huge animal, with lowered i head, and eyes gleaming through shaggy ! forelocks, emerged from a thicket at some distance, and came slowly toward her, tearing up the earth with hoots and horns. Rolla, after a burst of obstreperous barking, turned and ignominiously fled. She strove in vain to follow his exam­ ple. Her limbs felt paralyzed, and she turned faint and sick. The bull came slowly onward, now Of course this was not Mr. Hanley's last visit to the Millington's--of course there were frequent calls, with walks and rides, in all of which lie fuh filled his ja-omiso of taking care of Sue; and when, at length, he asked the priv­ ilege of taking care of her through life, she did not say way. Lately, when Mr. Hanley wa.s lx>asting that his wife had accepted him on their ! very first iuterview, by referring hiiji to j papa, Sue looked around and said: " You were an impudent puppy that | day, Rolla, as you tire stilL" I A Romantic Incident.

Shall We Meet Again t The following is one of the most brill­ iant paragraphs ever written by the la­ mented George D. Prentice : " The fiat of death is inexorable. There is no ap­ peal for relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flow­ ers that bloom, wither and fade in a day have no trailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men will appear and disappear as the grass, and the multitude that throng the world to-day will disappear as foot­ steps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the antag­ onist of life, and the thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark val­ ley, although the dark passage may lead to paradise; we do not want to go down into damp graves, even with Prin­ ces for bed-fellows. In the beautiful drama of 'Ion' the hope of immortality so eloquently uttered by the death-de- voted Greek, finds deep response in ev­ ery thoughtful soul. When about to yield his life a sacrifice to fate, his Clemacthe asks if they should meet again, to which he responds : I have asked that dreadful questiqn of the hills that look eternal--of the clear streams that flow forever--of stars among whose fields of azure my raised spirits have walked in glory. All are dumb. But, as I gaze upon thy living face, I feel that there is. something in love that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe."
