It wasa very small room, so low that the beam seross the peiling was was a delightful walk ; twilight was creeping on when they found themselves at theâ€"house door again, but Morgan came no farther than the threshold. "No, thank you," he said ; "I cannot dine with you toâ€"night ! I mnst go home and write letters. Good night, Nelly, dear." the oll sexton‘s ivyâ€"covered dwelling. Nelly thought within herself that she had never fourd her lover a pleasanter companion than he was that day. He amused her with little stories of his colâ€" lege life, and even went back to his gramâ€" merâ€"school days in search ofincidents. It "Perhaps it is merely a nomâ€"deâ€"plume," replied Morgan returning the journal to his pocket. "How pretty," she said, having conscienâ€" tiously travelled through the thirty lines. "How strange it seems that rome people should have the power of putting their ideas into rhyme ! ‘The writer has m nice name,â€"Eve Hazelburn." "I can read it when we have had our walk," Nelly answered. Then catching fa slight shade of dissappointment on his face, she gave her whole attontion to the verses at onee. "Read tis, Nelly," be said, one Fobruâ€" ary afternoon. â€" He had called to take her out walking, and they were standing toâ€" gether at the drawingâ€"room window. _ All the snow was gone, and in its stead there were clustres of snowdrops scattered over tie brown monld. Here and there was a group of goldenâ€"eyed polyanthus; and a Lttle yellowhammer, perched on the gardenâ€"wall, piped its small, sweet song. There was sunlight out of doors, and Nelly, looking bright and picturesque in her velvet and mable, was impatient to leave the house. Morgan had taken a copy of the Monthly Guest from his pocket, and was pointing to a little poetn on one of its pages. ‘ Meanwhile, Morgan took his good fortune in a very tranquil way. He saw Nelly nearly every day, and she did the most of the taking that. went on between them. Her conversation, like herself, was always simple and bright ; it did not weary the listemer, and yet it sometimes set him wondering at the ease with which she opened herheart, and let out its inmost thoughts. He was conscious that he had never let her get beyond the vestibule of his inner self ; but he would fain have bad it othervise. It pained him even while it comforted him, to see that she was quite unaware of his involuntary reserve. _ Had she known thait he kept any locked up chambers, she would have striven to find: the keys, and would most likely have sueâ€" ceeded. But she did not know it. She possessed no instinet keen enough to tell ber that she might live with this man tor years without once getting close of hisi soul. It. Lovers, like sinners, are nearly slways found out ; and in a very short time everyâ€" body knew that Nelly Channell was enâ€" gaged. â€" It is not worth while to record all the remarks that this affair drew forth. They were comments of the usual kind ; the cmate was called a schemer, and the futher was said to have cruelly neglected the interests of his child. But as none of these observations reached the ears of those whom they chicfly concerned, noâ€" body was any the worse for them. \ IIs went his way through the leafless NELLY CHANNEL.

POETRY. ‘ As he went in a small, slight figure rose from a chair by the bedside, and quietly glided away. He scarcely looked at it in the gatliering dusk ; imoreover he had no thoughts just then for anybody but the mother who lay there yearning for a sight of him. 4 Eve was one of those friendless beings who are thrown entirely on their own reâ€" sources, and often get on better than the more favoured children of fortune. Bhe had an easy post as governess in the family of Mr. Gold, a rich Warwickshire merchâ€" ant ;â€"too easy, as she sometimes said. For the little Golds hrd holidats two or three times a week, and wore not on any His coming seemed to do Mrs. Foster good, and give her a new hold upon life. It was & low nervous fever that had seized upon her, taking away her strength by slow degreos, until she had fgrown almost as helpless as an infant. But God had sent her a friend in Eve Hazelburn. And before he slept that night, Morgan had heard the story of Miss Hazelburn‘s unâ€" selfish kindness from his father‘s lips. Hazelburn! The name had a familiar sound ; but Morgan was too weary and agitated to remember where he had heard it before. He took his way at once to his mother‘s chamber. "You are & good son,â€"a good son," said the old man in a broken voice. ~"She is no worse ; and Miss Hazelburn is with her." Morgan went straightway to the rectory, and laid his case before the rector,. _ The old man had his son, a young deacon, stay» ing in his house, and readily consented to spare his curate. ‘Then there was a letter to Nelly to be written, explaining the cause of his sudden departure. Before noon, the train was bearing him far away from the vales and woods of Huntsdean, straight to the great world of London. Aud from Euston Square he travelled to the ancient Warwickshire city where his parents had made their home. Next morning came m letter in hi« father‘s bhandwniting, which was full of sad tidings. His mother was Gangerously ill ; gould he not come home at once 2 "I am like old Bunyan‘s pilgrims," he continued. "I remember that when they came to a place where they saw a way put iteelf into thein way, and seemed withall to lie as straight as the way which they shoull go. And now I fear that I have gone out of my right path without knowing it. Well, soloug as the penalty fulls upon me only, I ean bear it !" "But his spirit was still disquited when he went to his little chamber that night. He lay awake for hours, thinking ot Nelly, and of the future which lay befere them both. He sat looking sadly into the red holâ€" low of the neglected fire, and sighed heavâ€" ily. "Thank God !" he said, half aloud, "that | that I can hide my sense of dissappoiniment 5 M from her! She shall never know that I | day want anything but her sweetness and goodâ€" | whic ness, poor chi‘d ! What a happy man I [ that ought to be, and yot what an ungrateful ) The wretch I seein in mine own eyes !" f whe Just one word or look of comprehension would have led him on to speak out of his interior self, But poor Nelly saw nothing in the poem beyond its rhymes. . Bhe was like one who misses the diamond in gazing at its setting. } While the sexton‘s wife was misj:xdging% The absence of the Golds left her at poor unconscious Nelly, the curate sat liberty to nurse Mrs. Foster in her illness. lingering over his teaâ€"cup. He wu.szhe servauts being sober and trustworthy, thoroughly realizing for the first tume, required httle watching, and Eve‘s time that he had made a mistake in asking Miss was her own. None ever knew what it Channell to be his wife. It was a little cost her to give up all her leisure to the thing that had opened his eyes to the| sick woman ; none guesed thata cherished blunder,â€"merely her way of reading that : plan was quietly laid aside for Mrs. Foster‘s little poem in the Monthly Guest. He had sake. The manuscript which Eve had been always vaguely hoping that something : hoped to complete in these holidays of hers would bring them nearer together, aud | was put by. An inner voice told her that make it possible for him to give all that he God meant her to use her leisure in ought to give ; and he had thought that another way ; and Eve‘s life was so still, the poem would do it. The verses seemed id free from turmoil and passion, that she to have proceeded straight from some could always hear the voices that spoke tâ€" human heart, whose feelings and aspiraâ€" | her soul. | tions were identical with his own.

She. "All girls is fond of worryin‘ men ; high or low, rich or poor, they‘re all alike," she said to her husland. "They don‘t like going on too peacable. _ Nothing pleases ‘em so well as a bit of tiff now and then. But if Miss Channell don‘t know when‘she‘s well off, she‘s a foolish boly ;â€"women are a‘most as bad as the children of Israel, aâ€"quarrelling with their blessings !" Sho went back to her own quarters with a troubled look on her kindly old face. Soinchow herlodger did no seem quite so bright as he ought to have been after takâ€" ing a walk with his sweetheart. She thought they must have had a lovers quarrel; and womaanâ€"like, was disposed to lay the blame on her own sex. "I saw you comin‘ through the lane, sir, and I‘ve boiled an egg for you," said his good landlady, bustling in. "It‘s bitter eold still. My good man hopes you‘il keep your fire up." blackened and blistered by the heat from the curate‘s readingâ€"lamp. â€" Siz rushâ€"botâ€" tomed chairs stood with their backs against the wall, and a carpetâ€"covered hassock was the sole pretension to luxury that the apartment contained. _ But a cheerful fire was blazing in the grate, and on a little red tray stood a homely black teaâ€"pot. She was very far from realizing the interpretation that Morgan had put upon hor remark. She did not dream of the sudden turmoil that was working within him, as he sat watching her face.. > ' They were sitting together in the Fosters‘ little parlour while this tulk went on. It was Sunday afternoon ; Mrs, Foster now steadily muking progress towards recovery, was asleep upâ€"stairs, and her husband had ventured out to church. â€" The sun was getâ€" ting low ; a yellow light came stealing over the roofs of the opposite houses, and shone full upon Eve‘s face. _ Her last words lad been spoken in a sad tone ; her eyes looked out dieim.ly into the narâ€" row street. "Not yet. Indeed I have no other home," she answered. "I had a hope, last year, that one might be provided for me ; butthat is over now." **‘Are you thinking of leavirig it?" Mor gan inquired. "No," she said frankly. "You know what it is to like people, and yet have no aftinity with them. _ The Golds‘ life is a perpetual pleasureâ€"bunt. _ Parents and Shildren join in the chase from morning till night ; there is little rest or stillness in the house. _ I should be scarcely sorry to leave it." "Do you find many companiors in Mr. Gold‘s house?" he asiced. "Nobody need be solitary nowâ€"aâ€"days,‘ answered Eve, brightly. "I have many such spiritual friends, whom I shail probably never see with my bodily eyes. Dou‘t you think that one of the joys of eterninty will be in finding out what we have done for each other unconsiousty ? I am often unspenkably gratefal for the printed words that have helped me on." We are really not very new friends," he said to the governess one day. "I knew you through your poem. _ Wa met in the spirit, before we met in the flesh." Tho curate had not told his parents of his engagement. He lhad been morbidly afraid that.it would put a sense of distance between the old people aud himself. Therefore he had said nothing about it in his letters, but had waited till he should see them face to face. But now that time had come, he feared to make the disâ€" closure. His mother was in uo condition to bear any startling news. And as to Miss Hazleburn â€" of what consequence could his affairs be to her? So the intaâ€" macy weut on. He was too blind to see the injustice that he was doing Nelly and Eve herself. The poem was the starting point from whence they travelled on into each other‘s experiences. Ab, how easily and quickly people glide into familiar intercourse when thore is a spiritual kinship between them ! Poor Morgan‘s heart opened to Eve as naturally as a flower uncloses to the saun. Yet ho never suspected that this was the beginuing of Jove, Meanwhile Eve aned Morgan met every day ; and he talked to herabout her poem, which was the only production of hers that had as yet found its way iuto print. Days wont and came. The old rector of Huntsdean wrote kindly to his curate, bidding him stay in Warwsekshire as long his mother needed him, Nelly wrote too ; such simple loving letters that every word went like a stab to Morgan‘s heart. She, also begged him not to hasten his return for her sake. It was good for her, her {ather told her, to have this slight dash of bitterness in a eup that had been overâ€" sweet. And poor Nelly made so great a show of heroism over this little trial of hers, ‘ that those of her own househol1 smiled. ‘ Bbe was not a pretty women. The acquaintance between Morgan‘s parents and herself was nearly a year old. Their quiet street ran along the back of the merchant‘s great house, and Eve had watched the pair sometimes from her chamberâ€"window. Then there was a chace meeting, a slight service rendered ; and the governess became their friend and frequent visitor, She had made many friends in the city of Câ€"â€". Her Sundays were her own, and her services in the Sundayâ€"school had won gratitude and approval from the viear of the parish. She went occasionally, but not often, to the vicarage. There had been sicknoss in their houseâ€" hold. Soon after Christmas the whole family had gone away to a sheltered waterâ€" ingâ€"place, leaving Miss Hazelburn in charge of the house, and two of the serâ€" vants who remained in it, account to be burdened with long study hours. The house was in a perpetual bustle ; visitors were constautly coming and going. But if her employers were unâ€" just to themselves, they were far from unâ€" generous to Eve. They would fain have had her share in all their feastings and merryâ€"makings, and laughed and wonderâ€" od at her liking for retireiment and peace.

Presently a person came ap and informed him that the engine had burst its boiler. "Awe!" Then came another, saying that there were fiftcen persons killed. The Englishman still eat unmoved, and grunted out another "awe !" But, finally a third messenger ran up in great haste, and said, "My dear sir, your valemwe has been blown into a hundred pieces !"

We did not expact them to teel particularly happy about it. It must be just a listle awkward to turn round and villify these same ‘whisâ€" keyâ€"sellers‘ that they stood shoulder to thoulder with the other dayâ€"a little abâ€" surd to expect everybody to ‘come forward‘ and aid in ‘driving the nceursed thing from our midst‘â€"when the orators themâ€" selves have just been miding heart and hand to drive out the Government which had alienated political friends and created implacable enemies by its honest endeavor to assist in ‘driving the curse away.‘ â€" But temperance, they say, should not bemixed up with polities. Yet who most zealously, by every agency in their powerâ€"by deâ€" nouncing the liquorâ€"sellers as ‘*worse than vampires‘â€"the liquor traffic as ‘humanity‘s greatest curse‘â€"by exacting and imporâ€" tunate appeals to the Goverment to reâ€" strict and even abolish the traffic, by temâ€" perate and inflammatory addresses to sympathetie audiencesâ€"have forcel the temperance question to an issue that made it practically a political question? Who but the Tory temperance men here snd; elsewhere ?" ‘ The following pithy paragraph from the Dundas Banner on the course pursued by temperance Tories at the late elections, will be endorsed by every true temperance man : He did not dream of making avy confesâ€" sion to Nelly ; she should be no sufferer through this dreadful mistake of his. And he wrote her as loverâ€"like a letter as he could frume, telling her that he was c mâ€" ing home in a few days. When Mrs. Foster was well enough to move from her bed to a couch, the curate bethought him of returning to Huntsdean. He did not dare to thiuk much of all that awaited him there. He had lived a lifeâ€" time in the space of a few weeks, and the village and iss associations looked uureal, and far away. At this time shame was his domingut feeling. He forgot to pity himself for the blunder that he had made, he thought only of his involuntary treachâ€" ory. church, and broke up the teteâ€"aâ€"tete Morzan‘s words of sympathy soundcd 3at and commarp‘ace, â€" He was too much overcome with shnme to: be couscious o! what he was saying. It was almost a relief when his old father returned from ‘"When my father felt himself to be dying," Eve went on, "he wrote to Mr. Myrtle, reminding him onee more of the debt. It was for my sake that he did this, knowing that I shofld be left quite fricnlâ€" less, and almost penniless. And Mr. Myrtle promised to leave me three thouâ€" sand pounds in his will. â€" He died Irst year, Mr. Foster, but thore was no legacy for me." Morgan breathed more freely ; but he thoug‘t of Nelly‘s legaey. **Some people think nothing of breaking a promise," she contmued, still looking out into the street. "Years ago, when 1 was a child, and my father was a presperous man, his frieed Mr. Myrtle came to him in sore need of money. . My futher lent him three thousand pounds. The sum was lent without security, and it was never repaid." noticed £Eve. _ They would have failed *to see the moble shape of that small head, play of light and shade on the careworn young face. Yet as Morgan sat watching her, he was stung by the sharpness of jealous agony. Had some man wooed this girl, and been an aecepted lover ? He could not indure the idea that those chanee words of her‘s had conjured up. The grand passion of his life was revealed to him in a moment. He knew what he felt towards Eve, and knew, too that was what he ought to have felt towards another. This was love. It was but a poor counterâ€" feit thereof that he had given to Nelly, the charms that belong to symmotry of form, and grace of manner and movement. But few of those who were struck at once by Nelly Channell‘s beauty, would have Temperance and Politics.
