IN STRAWBERRY TDA.

The garden-gate, as we two passed through,
Swung slowly backward, then closedagain ;
Over our heads the-sky’s deep blue
Purer shone for the last night's rain
And the milk-white clouds through the azure
sailed,,
And over the landscape cool shadows trailed.

Through checkered sunlight and shadow we
went, :
Nettie and I, that sweet June day,

When the odor of clover-bluoms was blent
With the fragrant scent of the new-mown
hay;

And the voice of the bobolink sounded clear,

As he called to his mate trom the meadows

Half shy, half wanton, the light wind played,
On the breezy uplands with Lettie’s curls,
That over her shoulders idly strayed,
And kissed the cheek of this queen of girls,
AS we sauntcred om by the path that led
‘To Be eu where grew the strawberries
red,

Together we stooped in the tall green grass
‘Lhat day when the June sun shone sv fair;
But my thoughts were all of this village lass,
And not of the strawberries growing there;
Of her cheeks where the rose its blushes shed,
And her lips like the berries su ripe and red.

Soon her basket was filled to the brim,
When turning on me her great brown eyes,
From under her straw hat’s shadowy rin
She darted a louk of quick surprise
Yor ae dnight have counted the be.

Andlifting hers, Liden, across my arin,
We sauntered back by the path that led
Krom the meadow where grew the strawber-
ries red.

But long ere we reached the garden-gate,
She and I, on our homeward way;
From her own sweet lips 1 had learned my
fate.
Oh, happy the hour, and happy the day!
And lappy my heart in its new-found bliss,
As [ sealed each vow with wu lover's kiss.

Ah! many years since then has gone by;
But whenever the. month of June draws

MY FIRST TEMPT:

BY HORACE B. §

ION,

PANIVORD,

Art an early age IT lost my father, and as
he left us but little of this wotll’s goods,
it soon became’ necessary that I should
find some employment. I> was then thir-
teen years ot age, und ‘not very stout or
strong, but yet with a will to do anything
that could be found for ime te do, At
wii my mother made an arrangement

U is

With » erypentey by the name of Mor
and Twas tiken into his shop as an
prentice. Withhim [remained two years,
but at the end of that time I beeame ‘so
worn down by the hard work imposed
upon me, that my mother resolved I should
remain there no longer, My er Luey,
who was two years older thin myscell, had
long detected my tailing strength, and it
Was mainly through her efforts that 1 was
removed fromthe place, or [should heyer
have complained,

Twas now filteen, tall, slim and pale,
and I knew that T could not stand any sort
of work which taxed my physical strength
to any great extent. But tortune favor
me. A Mr. Joseph Evered, who kep
dey goods store near by, 1 want ofa
salesman, and through my sis iuflu-
ence I obtained the place. Mr, Byered
hada daughter Julia, just about ny own
aye, Who was very intimate with Luey,
and it was by her intercession with her
father that Lucy gained her point.

1 was duly instailed in my place, and 1
was soon happy and contented, for iy
employer was kind, and an intimacy
sprang up between myself and Julia,
which «forded me purer bliss than I had
eyer before experienced. Thus matters
passed on fora year, and atthe cud ol
that time my health was restored, and 1
had so fag guined-upon the confidence ol
Mi. Eyered, that he now trusted me with
some of his niost particular business.
Only one thing troubled me. Twas not
receiving such wages as T fancied my ser.
vices entitled me to. In facet, L was in
debt. Ihad purchased a suit of clothes of
a tailor in the neighborhood, and was ow-
ing for them, ‘Lhe tailor wanted his
money, and I had promised him he should
have it atacertain time; but that time
came and passed. and T could not pay him,
Ife threatened, and T promised anew. Oh,
how many times T wished that L had neyer
bought those clothes Teould have rot
along without them, and I resolved that
néver again would FE buy anything whieh
Leould not pay for upon the spot. But
that did not help this ease,

One evening [ sat alone in the store.
Tt was Saturday evening, and the day had
been a busy one. We had sald a ‘great
quantity of goods, and the money-drawer
was well filled, Slowly the demon arose
before me, and begat to advise me. He
pointed to the money-drawer, and whis-
pered,—

“There are the means for paying y our
debt”

I knew that Mr. Evered had no know-
ledge of the amonnt of money there, for
he knew not how much I had sold. J
could even take fifty dollars, and he might
never miss it, for Thad’ sold a great quan-
tity of stuff whieh lie had no account of.
[L had promised:the: tailor that he should
have the money that very night, and Thad
planned to get. Mr. Byered to-adydtwee ime
the necessary sum, Thad not been spend-
ing my money foolishly, but from my poor
pittince [ snpported my poor nother, and
that ate it all up,

For n long while I sat and Jooked upon
that drawer, and all the while the tempter
was persuading ine, T knew that young

times nec
least so I then thought. How could I
meetmy crediteragain without the money ?
I could not, and at length I resolved that
TL would not. I arose and went to, the
drawer, Lopened it, and saw the bank
notes which had been tairly jammed in
there, [ counted out twenty dolla
My hands trembled, and my heart be:
quickly. IL thrust the notes into my pock- |}
et, and then hastened back to iy seat,

and ere long afterwards my employer)
entered, |

Well, Charles,” he said, ‘I guess
we'll shut up now.”

I arose, and went out and put up the}
shutters, and when [came back, I tound |
Mr. Evered engaged in counting the)
money, As I approached him, he eyed |
me with w sharp, searching look, and I
trembled like au aspen.

‘What ails you?” he asked, |

“Nothing, sir,’ [ answerad, trying to!
compose myself.

“But there must be something the
matter,” he resunted, * for you look us
pale as a ghost.”

* Tam tired,” I said.

* Well, well, you have worked hard
to-day, and you muy go, Dll attend tu
the rest” |

With a desperate endeavor to, compose |
myself, [ thanked him tur his kiudness, |
and then seized my hat and left the store.
The fresh air revived nye somewhat, and
L hurried on to the tailors. L paid my
bill, und for w moment my heart was
lighter; but it was only for a moment,
When I had reached the street: again, the
thought of what L bad done came upon
me with a whelming force, and [ was
miserable, When Lt reached home L pro-
tessed to be sick, and retired at once.
Byginy mother, sick and weak herself,
ol up to my bed and wanted to tix me
some medicine, She gave me a simple
preparation, drew up the vlothes snugly
about me, and, baying kissed me, she
said,—

“Be careful, Charles, for ‘twould be
painful indeed to have you sick. God
keep and bless you. Good-night.”

Oh, how those last words rang in my |
s. What would my motler say, how
would she teel, if she kuew that her son
was iv thief? It was along while before
T could give the word shape and form,
but it came at last. TL could not keep it
back, ‘Ph thief! rang in my soul till
an agony Was upon ine so intense that all
other conceptions of pain were as nothing.
The night passed away in sleepless, plane}
tom-émiuking restlessness; and when the |
morning came, I arose and walked Out |
belore my mother and sister were up. 1}
did not return until breakfast was ready,
and then T had so fatoverecome all out-
ward signs of my distress, that Jitgle. re-
mark Was upon me, But the worm was
gnawing at iny heart

Thivt torenoon I went with my sister to
meeting, and as I entered the little charch
T met the gaze of Mr. Ey 1, Ife wateh-
ed me sharply, and saw marks of pain
upon hiz face, After the services were
over, saw himin conversation with the
tailor, Inoticed how earnestly they spoke,
and once T saw the tailor point his fiager
towards me. I felt sure, then, that all
was discovered !

‘For merey’s sake, Chavles, what is
the matter?” cried Lacy, as she caught
my arn,

** To's faint! he's faint! [heard a low,
tremulous voiee say; and, on turning, |
saw Julia Evered, she was trightened;
and at that moment came the conviction |
thatshe loved me, Burcthat other thought |
ane with it, and then 1 knew she would
ere long despise me.

Sick and faint, 1 hurried away, and, to |
all the anxious inquiries of Lucy, L only
replied that I was not well) Oh, how
iniserable I felt, for L knew that my em-
ployer had detected the thett. His gaze
atinein church was proof enough; but
his conversation with the tailor imade it
doubly sure. That afternoon T dared uot
go tochureh, and my mother worried over
me. If she would only have lett me alone,
[might have been less miserable; but she |
clung close to ne, and Thad to lie to her,
the first falsehood I ever spoke to that
noble woman,

kindly asked,

* My soal, such a dream!" I involun-
tarily gasped.

“Well, ivits nothing worse than that I
am glad, But come, I want to have atew
