HASTIE & GRANT, . yâ€"l yâ€"l y1 of The simplicity of an exquisite, fresh white crape dress, with piuk coral and mosai¢ ornaments, and one beautiful sprig of lilies, with their dark green leaves, in her rich brown hair, was exactly adapted to her delicate young beauty and girlish form ; whilo Lucia‘s maturer charms reâ€" quired a fullerâ€"blown toilette for their suitâ€" able adornment; at least, so thought Meyrick Elderton as he sat opposite to that sweet face during dinner, and caught the shy glances of unmistakable and pitying sympathy atithe evident traces of sufferâ€" ing still visible on his pale and handsome features. There was something so soothing to a spirit still sad and depressed by the loss of a worshiped mother in the gentle and subâ€" dued thoughtfuiness of the wviolet eyes thus encountered, that it was little wonâ€" der if he sought out their owner afterâ€" wards in the drawingâ€"room, and drew the fresh, country blossom into an atmosphere of pure and innocent talk that is seldom found in garish London drawingâ€"rooms. They spoke of flowers and poetry and emblems, and that led to allusions to than in the kind of subdued toilet that suitâ€" ed such an cccasion. Lilian‘s home and beloved mother, which naturally brought back the remembrance of Meyrick‘s overâ€"prosont regrois for h‘s owp lost parent. Mrs. Mordant smiled kindly on the love. ly girl, whogo simplicity and freshness reâ€" eais;l the early days of a daughter she had lost, and to supply whose p..2©;, perhaps, she had begged her nicee during the Lonâ€" don season from a fond, widowed mother. It was a severe trial to Mrs. Charles Mordant to part with her darling, even for the orthodox three months; but she beâ€" lieved it a duty to her child to give her such an advantageous introduction, and she sacrificed her owu feclings for her sake. It was i small dinuer party that assemâ€" bled in the evening of which we speak, and perhaps Lilian never looked better "Yes, that will be charming. And mind, Lily, you are not to try any graces on him : he is mine by right; and you must make love to Sir Philip Stanley instead." Lilian laughe 1 gaily. «Yes, in very daughterâ€"like fashion I will, seeing that he is about as old as dear grandpapa himself. I shall be quite safe with him, shall I not, auntie? Mamma would not be at all alarmed as to my flirâ€" tation." "I daresay I shall," replied her mother, "because it suits my table toâ€"day, having been disappointed of General Wyndham, and it will fill a vacant place, and seem friendly and kind." "Well, well, dear mamina, never mind about Lillian‘s grave looks," exclaimed Lucia, laughing. "Itis only that I say What other poople think ; and it was realâ€" ly too provoking of his mother to die just whon, I am certain, he was on the vyery eve of proposing to me. Lut you will write and ask him to dine, of course, mamma ?" Certainly Lillian‘s sweet young face, whose delicate tint corresponded with her pretty name, wore a rather astonished look at the eavalier allusion to & relationâ€" ship which she held so sacred ; but sho was only a guest at her aunt‘s fashionable London residence, and some four years younger than the veteran Lucia, so she was fain to retire beneath the humble conâ€" vietion of her own ignorance of the world, and remain silent. "Oh! how charming! Meyrick Elderâ€" ton actually come back at last! Well, I certainly consider he has mourned enough for that tiresome old mother of his !" exâ€" claimed Lucia, elapping her hands. "Hush, my dear! Don‘t talk like that, or you will quite horrify your cousin," said Mrs. Mordant, reprovingly. "Well, I daresay you and Lillian will consider there is something both fresh and interesting," she replied, tossing a card to hor daughter, _ "At least, it is an old friend of yours, Lncia, and I daresay your eous« in‘s taste will endorse yours, unless he is very much changed." _ ""Well, mamma, is there anything fresh in that weary basket which you are turnâ€" ing over so patiently ?" asked Lucia Morâ€" cdant, yearning, as young ladies not in their first season after an evening‘s dissipation. Mrs. Mordant looked round with a goodâ€" natured smile on the two fair girls who were gracing hor breakfastâ€"table with their youth and beauty. Though the world grows old with its load of erime, Though the simple faith of olden time, Its earnost purpose and quict ways, Are lost in the tumult of later days, Yet the glimpse of Eden love brings again Will choer and brighten the hearts of men ; And whether the times be new or old, The wonderful story will still be told. Would you talk of the love of th¢ olden time, When earth was free from wrong and crime, When faith was simple and hearts were warm To brave the tempests and face the storm ; When lovers mmot by the trysting tree, Where summer breezes were blowing free, And the chattering birds on the leafy boughs Would stop to listen to lovers‘ yows ? Do you think that the world was purer thon ? Was there more of truth in the hearts of men, Less love of power and lust of gain, And less of sin to wither and stain ? Were the tonder vows that lovers spoke ‘Neath the leafy shade of their tryging ouk In the olden time that is now long past, More strange in purpose, more sure to last ? The Bouqet of Lilies. IN THE OLDEN TIME. rOoETRY T HJ B "Why, what on earth is the matter with you, Lily ?" asked Miss Mordant, as they rose from the table. "Child, you are ill, What a sudden atâ€" tack!" seconded Mrs. Mordant, lindly. "Go and lie down a little, and Susan shall give you some sal volatile, and bathe your head, for your eyes look dreadfully heavy." But Lilian protested against any such attention. â€" She was only tired; she would go and lis down, but that was all ; and, by an extraordinary effort of decision, she ‘evadedulltheugor inquiries and attenâ€" tions of ler relatives, and, flying to the lrelief of solitude, locked her room door, andâ€"â€"**Well, woâ€"need not tall youthfal readers what followed the froedom thus | obtained from curious cyes. What desccration in Lilian‘s eyes to comâ€" mitt them to a domestic‘s indifferent hands ! "How very charming!" she said. "Of course, Meyrick can have but one mcaning in such attentionâ€"so very pointed, as I know it must have given him so much trouble to get them ; and to remember my fancy so thoughtfully. Depend on it, Dora, you will have to console mamma for my absence beforo long, and you, Lily, will peshaps have to be bridesmaid before you go home again." Poor Lilian!t It was a terrible trial to hear these glorifications, to Listen to Lnâ€" cia‘s arrangements as to the combination of the flowers with searlet for her hair at the ball that night. "Put them in water. They will keep fresh till then," she remarked to the footâ€" man, on his taking away the breakfast things. The girls both knew too well who was the donor. ‘Therg was no mistaking the rare, unique boquet which had excited the admiration of both; and Lilian was as colourless as the flowers themselves as her cousin looked at the label, and then laughâ€" ed joyously. Perhaps Susan would hardly have given the girl such an undisputed palm a few minutes later had she been in the breakâ€" fastâ€"room, which the cousins entered toâ€" gether. "See, Lucia, here‘s something beautiful for you!" said an elderly halfâ€"sister, who was so completely "laid on the shelf," that she was but ravely recognized by the gay world in which they moved, except as a foil, which ad led to the youth and beauty of her younger sister, "I nevor saw such beautiful lilies in my life. Who can have sent them to you ?" Glad, sweet dreams gilded the maiden‘s rest that night, and when she descended the stairs in the delicate froshness of a morring toilette, the maid who waited on her during her visit declared she had never seen anyone look "sweeter than Miss Lilian, who beat Miss Mordant all to fits, as anyone would say but herself." "What‘s that?" asked Lucia, turning from some brilliant roses that bloomed in rich fragrance near their rivals. . "Oh, what lovely lilies! _I would so like to wear them toâ€"morrow night at the ball! The vory thing for my hair and dress. Could one bribe or steal them, I wonder ?2" Meyrick Iaughed, but made no reply and certainly did not volunteer his interest for thor aequisition; and sometliing in his look and tone told Lilian, as she believed, that they certainly would not be for her cousin if they were obtained at all. Meyrick eame up to Lilian as she was gazing eagerly at a beautifal boquet of rare lilies that glittered like snow among their dark green leaves. "Would you like them?" he whispored. "Oh, yes! were it but possible," she murmured. "FThey are my favourite flowers, as well as my namesakes." The young man gladely obeyed, and soon joined the girls as they were admiring some of the brilliant specimens of Nature‘s own favourites there exhibited. "Therc, J am quite tired ou$, Meyrick. Go to the girls. I will sit here while you wander about," said Mrs. Mordant, placâ€" ing herself in a chair in a refreshmentâ€" room at the Crystal Palace, where the party were enjoying the loveliest afternoon that ever graced a floral fete. "I saw them go into the cutâ€"flowers tent just now." + Yet it was very strange that he should sit by her for at least an hour while Lucia was singing and playing with her other guosts, if that was the case; and equally sc that when Meyrick dreamed, as he did many a time and oft, of his mother, that night, she was in her early youth, looking most wonderfully like Lilian Mordant, Lilian did not exactly ask herself why he was glad. It was a very pleasant if vague impression of his real meaning, which she did not care to analyse, more especially as she was half bound in honour not to bestow a thought on Lucia‘s lover. "I was compelled to come up on busiâ€" nes, which will keep me here some weeks," he said, "and Mrs. Mordant was an old friend of my imother, and I am obeying her last wishes in emerging from my seâ€" clusion, or I could searcely have been here toâ€"night. â€"Now, I am glad I came." He could searcely have believed it posâ€" sible to speak of her to a stranger; but Lilians own love for her parent was so vivid and apparent, that he was sure she could understand his; and ere long he found himself speaking of his loss, of his mother‘s perfections, and his own deep sorrow, to his eager listener, whose eyes filled with tears at the recital. ONTARIO 1 ger; and if she did not look up, she could | ccarcely be addressed. "Watfordâ€"Watford!" sounded on the platform. Lilian opened her eyes mechanically. The old lady was leaving the carriage. So much the better. She would not nesd to talk, and, with a sigh of relief, which proved only how little we may learn to be thankful for, she once again closed her eyes, and tried to shut out her own misery. _ 7 But in vain. The old lady had no end of baskets and bags, and every seat had one under it, which, with no end of applogies to tho poor girl, were extracted in succession, till what seemed at least a whole vanful of True, she had placed her specially in the guard‘s care, with n more persfiasive eloâ€" quence in the shipo of a golden coin of the realm ; and she had entreated the good offices of a matronly old lady in a corner of the carriage. She only longed for her mother‘s arms, her mother‘s soft sympathy, and restâ€" rest from every other cye and voice. SBhe ought not to have let that imagilo young creature go alone in such a sufferâ€" ing state. Morcover, as they returned to the brougham that was waiting for them, Lucia observed, sententiously : "I am really very glad she is gone. How do we know that she is not beginâ€" ning with smallâ€"pox, or some horid ccmâ€" plaint ? and we might all have caught it. She looks bad enough for anything, I am sure." Perhaps Lucia had an uncasy idea that her cousin‘s ®";enee was desirable for more causes than one. She might remeuiver that on the previous day, Meyâ€" rick had expressed rather too much interest in the girl‘s indisposition to be satisfactory, and he had been more abstracted and deâ€" pressed during the drive for a lover in the presence of his liege lady. Still, he was subject to low spirits, and porhaps anything in the shape of ilness might bring back his mother to his mind with painful force. Meantime, poor Lilisn was reclining in the corner of the carringe with closed eyes and melancholy heart. packages were collected, and the girl onee more left in peace and quietude. Not a whit. Once more the door opened ere the train moved out of that busy station, and a successor to the worthy‘ individual of many packages came into the carriage ; but, in this case, without any: renewal .of the trouble and disturbance. That was all Lilian knew. Her eyes wore resolutely shut, for there could be no necessity to talk to this stranâ€" There was a great wonderment and opâ€" position from hor cousins when they heard the astonishing proposal; but her pale face and carnest determination gained the vietory. They mccompanied her to the railwayâ€" station, and when she nodded her fare« well from the window of the carriage, Mrs. Mordant‘s heart smote her. "No, noâ€"I am quite able to go. The guard will take care of me. â€" Please do not think of it," said the girl, eagerly. How despair had fuiven her courage. She would not have proposed, much fess undertaken, such a journey alone a fow short weeks ago. «"You cannot go alone, my poor child," said her aunt, tenderly. "Yet I do not know how to manage for you, unless Susanâ€"â€" "And the concert this afternoon at the Palace ; it is a thousand pities you should miss it. Mr. Elderton is to be here at half past two to take us." "I have telegraphed already. I must go dear aunt: I am so ill, and I should never get well hergy Iam so veryâ€"very sorry! _ You have, been all goodness. Ploase forgive mie, but I musi go!" "I could not go," said the girl shivering. "I could not bear itâ€"the fatigue I mean," she alded. "I am only fit to go home?" "Impossible, my dear! Your mother would be frightened to death. Stay a day or two : you will soon be better." She would betray herself if sheremained and she so longed for her mother‘s fosterâ€" ing care and sympathy. Busan was astonished to receive orders to pack the young lady‘s trunks ; and Mrs. Mordant actually started to see the pale ghost who stole into her dressingâ€"room, tind announced her departure by the atterâ€" noon train. _ Crushed by all this shame and distress, lap, nnd opposite to h« Lilian suffered so acutely during the abâ€" derton, with a halfâ€"a sence of the party, that Mrs. Mordant, on smile on his lips. her return, gave up all idea of taking horl "Lilian," he said, gen to the ball that evening. ed you that you thus Miss Mordant begged to remain, and been mistaken indeed." even Lucia made a faint offer of her sociâ€" "Iâ€"youâ€"that is, I < ety ; but Lilian only implored for rest and | you!

I have TORONTO Mrs. Mordant was at first dismayed at seeing her daughter escorted by such a handsome unknown ; but the happy counâ€" tenance of the young girl, and Meyrick‘s few words of explanation, soon banished the alarm. And when in the course of the. evening the whole truth was confessed, and the mother‘s consent asked to the enâ€" gagement of her daughter, there was not much difficulty in obtaining her sanction. "Poor lilies!" smiled Meyrick, as he handed the sprig to Lilian. "What reparâ€" ation for the neglect shall we make, darâ€" ling? Shall you keep the fAlowers as an emblem of your own especial favorite ?" The girl blushed more like a rose than a lily at the moment; but then it only made oy lovlier than over in hor lover‘s eyes, while altering the pale invalid to a bloomâ€" iog maiden. should not be till the following summer, Christmas, and a bright spring, cre the lilies bloomed again ; and their fair nameâ€" sake prepared for her longâ€"anticipated bridal. Mrs. Mordant and Lucia had been wise enough to smother their disappointâ€" ment, and throw a veil over the suspicions, which had been but too well justified, by warm and hearty congratulations at the young Lilian‘s happy . prospects, which, inâ€" deed, as they averred, might be dated from her auspicious visit to their house. There were no tears at the young girl‘s wedding, as her unselfish mother had preâ€" *‘No," he replicd. "I wrote Mrs. Mor« dant a note, saying I was gone in the country on important business ; and so I The flowers were never remembered till the end of the journey ; and when they were looked for, they were as erushed and ruined as the old lady‘s baskets had been in danger of becoming. But the end of the journey, happy as it was, came at last. for the young girl was too childâ€"like for the smiling, as she glanced at the faded but precious blossoms in her daughter‘s bosom ; "and then we will have a bright bridal, even if I have to lose my home‘s sunshine, for the sake of her happiness and yours, Mr. Elderton, sad robber that you are." And so it was. There was the usual revolution of the seasonsâ€"a mellow, happy autumn, a merry "I am not surprised, dearest," he said, ‘that you did not understand such stupidâ€" ity, You would hardly imagine that I could be so absurd as to forget that your cousin‘s name, like your own, began with L ; and when I directed the flowers *Miss I,.

However, I shall know better in future, and shall never omit my darling‘s sweet floral name till it is so completely changed and merged in another as to make such mistakes imâ€" possible.

I am sure she understeod them asâ€"as mcaning something, and so did I.

Am I indeed so odious to you, Lilian? Am I to relinquish all the bright hopes I have dared to cherish of late? Lilian‘s answer is not recorded, because it did not find vent in words; and no one but a lover could be so skilful in interpretâ€" ing looks and signs as to gather its meanâ€" ing; and besides, there are some scenes that should have no witnessâ€"too sacred for the coinmon cye, too full of happiness for ordinary kon. When it may be advisable to take up the thread of this little Aistoriette, Meyrick was, by some chance or other, sitting by Lilian‘s side. you!

From information gathered, it appears toresting thing to women, is man in his relation to women ; and, consequently, the most delightful themes for gossip are what man is in love with what woman. Obvi« ously, the question assumes various shados of interest, beginning with the calfâ€"love of two young things, just fresh from school, and ending with the dark and (proferably) illicit passion of two wicked old stagers. But the inquiry can be carried through threo stages. Whom did helove? Whom does he love? Whom is he likely to love next? â€" It is plain that in these inquiries a piquant answer is more sought after than accuraey ; and, as a matter of course, gosâ€" sip is the nursery of much false news. Nine times out of ten, no absolute falseâ€" hood is intended; but gossip will hatch chicken from an egg, in process of #ime. We cannot protend to say, though we have tried to give gossip as innocent an origin as possible, that we admire the result. Inâ€" deed, if we may sponk our whole mind without offence, we must say that we think womoen are never loss admirably m« ployed than in gossiping. â€" Nor should we be just unless we added that the foible apâ€" parently is rapidly spreading from women to men. . We iniagine that the institution of elubs, and the growing equality and faâ€" miliarity of the sexes, are answoerable for this circumstance. Men in clubs have # good deal of time hanging on their hands, and, being idle, they begin to do what women have long don# from being idle. We may, perhaps, teturn to this branch of the subject, for it is an important one. For the present we may content oursclves with saying, trenchantly, that the male gossip is the most odious and contemptible speciâ€" men of his sex. The root of gossip is idleness, and enâ€" forced idleness. Women are not strong enough to be always doing something, and even what they doâ€"viz., sowing and stitching, knitting and embroideryâ€"lends itself to gossip just as kindly as the most absolute indolence. They have no sottled business that occupics them for six, eight, or ten hours a day; they cannot spend twelve hours in the open air ; and even in summer, if they are suo Jove, it is an inâ€" dolent fashion, and under the shade of a wideâ€"spreading chestnut tree. But though we have thought right to point out the probable origin and the encouraging cause of the gossiping tendency of women, we do not mean to denyâ€"indeed, we have alâ€" ready incidentaly affirmedâ€"that it has slowly become a marked idiosyneracy of the feraale character, and that it is now as true of young women as of old ones. The subjects of gossip are, of eourse, very variâ€" ous; but no doubt the choice morsels, the real titâ€"bits of gossip, are those facts, or allegation, or possibilities, which arise out of the relation of the sexes. ‘The most inâ€" have been saered to her who is gone to a happicr world." Nor did Mrs, Charles hesitate now. She know that the first trying months of married life, when husband and wife are best left entirely to themselves, had praesed over without a cloud on their sunshine or a rufile on their calm stream. It would be a safe as well as happy asylumâ€"for â€"her lonely widowhood, now that Meyrickâ€"Elderton had been so fully testedâ€"so truthful and" go carnest in his every word and eyery feeling. Lucia has married the Sir Philip whom she assigned to Lilian on her first mooting with Mcyrick Elderton; but, unhappily, it cannot be said of her as of her consin, that her wedded life passed among the sweet fragrance of the pure lilies, which are the fit emblem of the calm and tranquil happiness with which the little heroine of this true story is, and, we trust, ever will be, biessed. 8.
