THE WATCHER.

Low bending o'er the couch of death. A grief-worn, stricken mother lay, To gather, from the struggling breath

The words her dying mouth would ﬂy.

The rising sun its radiance threw Upon that maiden's fragile form;

And roschuds. decked with glittering dew, lirenih'd forth their fragrance from the Myra.

The little birds, so still before,

From blooming trees their matins raise, And seem. in sympathy, to pour

A sofler, richer song of praise.

The dying girl. nrousod awhile Ily strains she fondly loved to hear, Kissed her door parent, with a. smile, And sought her breaking heart to cheer.

Sweet music. mother !——soon to cease—

Bui sweeter far I hear on high— Glnd strains of welcome, joy and pence, ’I‘o cheer my spirit. ere Idle.

t), mother denr, forhcar to weep,

Love cannot stay the parting breath; Say, what is dcsih? but lcngthened sleep. ’l‘o wake in heaven, as Jesus nith.

A little while, and we shall meet

Where pain and grief are rever known—- To worshipnt IIniniinnel‘s feet;

Again to know as we are known.

Ere the poor mother could reply. The spirit of the maiden pan“.

[‘0 dwell witii ransoined soul: on high, Long as Eternity shall last.

_._ PHILIP Fuxr lay wcarily on his pillows, poor fellow! Crippled as he was, the days \voro slowly by———gray days! As he lay drcaiiilly looking out of the window, his sister Nellie came in. and. setting a. has- kct. ot cones and moss down on a chair ' the door, she stopped to her brother‘s lo and threw back the gray hood and t- . cls of her cape. and stood with her rosy, wiiid-frcshcncd face, and her pretty brown braids loosened by her breezy walk. ' i'liiiip,‘sald she, ‘I think this is the loveliest place I ever saw. I have been away over into the ‘ Hundred Acre Lot,‘ as uni-so calls it. on Squire Wilbur‘s land, and then across the turnpike, over to Illu l:ikc«edgc. among.r the pines, and see! this moss :md the coucs I got there. Won't we have some splendid baskets and things 1’ and, Phil, lny pocket is lull oi cheekerhcr- i'ics.‘ And. getting a card-basket that stood on tho window-ledge, she began to s .ikc out the scarlet bci'rics into it, kc ling up, meantime. it me y breeze of talk, telling all about whcre she had been and whom she had seen. ' And. oh. l‘hil,‘ said she, amongst the rest of her merry talk, ‘ l inct Dr. Grey on the iiiinpikc, and he. asked me if bringing yoll here into the country wasn‘t just the right. medicine for you, and ii I thought [his was equal in being in town.

If that ng y wound ever hcnls enough, so that ‘on can go about the house even, and slam in the door, and look out on this glorious country stillness and grocnucss, so quiet, and sunny. and beautiful. it will be sure [0ng well then. And Phil, [come near torgctting to tell you, Dr. Grcy s. _v.‘ he expects lhc other doctor to come out of town lo-day—llio one who is going to act as his collcaguc, you know—and he says he shall Drill" him round to son you soon. Dr. Grey s that he. is so driven that he don‘t Ireland to eat or ,slecp now-a-dnys, there Is so much country prac 'c “ ‘ I shall rathcr dread a slrungcr—shan't

' Well, well. whether he comes or not, I want Iuy lunch, for i am starving near- Iv.‘

. ‘ Yes, I‘ll go right now, Phil. How i wish mother could look in now and Flu! how cozy we are. i‘m real glad she lci me come, iiIstoad ot eominglu. lf And l’hil, it nothing happens, we‘ll walk over to tho liikmclluo towel .l another spring. ‘ Yes, you dcur old NI-Il,’ said the sick Iiiuii. his palc lace seemed to light up from hers, so llllcd as it was with youth and sunshine. ‘ lint, it seems. Nell, us if I couldn‘l wait———-'

‘ ('oui'ago, dcur.‘ said Neil; and she iliilcd otl'iu quest ot the luncheon.

Later in the t y Hill said;

‘ Nell, thci'c ls some one at the door, and he has ring and rang; and there, he‘s roing. Ilui'i'v \'cll !‘

‘ ‘ l linvo III-cu in tho place only two hours. Miss Flint,’ llid he, his grout block 0 'es llghtingnp with I pleasant. smile. ' his

is the ﬁrst professional call I have had the honor to make in the place. The doctor found me waiting st his oﬂice when he got back this morning from his rounds. And this is our patient. eh? How do ‘..u find yourself to-day. sir 3“ said he. turning, in his easy. graceful way, to Hill, at Neil‘s introduction.

'Su-so, docior,‘ said Phil. ‘ I am hap y to see you, sir. Nell, rive the doctor t to lounging-clinic that [who the easiest one in the room.‘

The doctor smiled. and having seated lilinselt‘in I’hii‘s clinir, as he sat partly turned away from Neil to her brother. she had a chance. t'orgthe ﬁrst lime, to observe him critically. A magniﬁcent. mas. vc form; black. wavy hair; a clcur. wavy skin, and a magniﬁcently full and black mustache. beneath which his chin showed smooth and shapely as a marble carving; and a white hand—n wondrous hand in its shape and expression, for hands have their cxprc. ions—so much Nellie had time to note, when he turned suddenly '

‘ Dr. Grey says your brother has had a pretty hard timc.‘ said he. ' When did you leave New York, Miss Flint;JV

' We came four weeks ago, doctor. We icft hcw York the last of April. Some of our friends discovered this cozy nook on their summer trip to the mountains; and our doctor in town said Philip would never get well unless he had Ircsh country air nndo change of scene. Dr. Ilazledcau knew Dr. Grcyhore of old, and recom- mended him io us, so we caﬁie.‘

-l’ut the pillows behind me. Hell. and I‘ll sit up awhile,‘ Sui!’ Philip; but before Nell could reach his side, the doctor, with a slron arm and gentle cti‘ort, made- the rcquiren image, and witha smile as sweet and sympathetic as a woman‘s, said:

' There you are, Mr. Flint. Do I serve your turn as well as Miss Nellie ?‘

Philip thanked him merrily.

‘ Your nose is out ofjoint, Nell.‘said be. You aml Nurse Gould together could not have moved me like that. though you do wonders in that lino. Doctor. I hope by fall 1 shau't have to be such a helpless stick; I feel as if this was just the place for me to get well.‘

‘ Yes, 'cs, Mr. Flint ; please God we shall do wont era in the way of healing and being healed, hero in this lresh, breezy place,‘ said Dr. Funchon, and he looked at Nell with such a strange depth of sad feeling in his dark eyes, that she could not turn hers away lroni the pleading, haunted look under those weary lids; but the look dashed out and was gone. and his eyes looked so sunny and smiling, that. she could hardly convince hersclt that it was not all in Iicr own Inntgiuiition.

The doctor chatted gracefully nd happi- ly about the scenery, the possibilities in in the way of socict , the line air, and lastly, making It critical examination of Phil p‘s case. which he had quietly aiul warin been noting. however, ever since his introduction Into the room, noting every change that llitied ovel‘ l’hilip‘s palu lace.

lie, left a prescription tor tho wash, and, shaking hands with them, he took his dc- pariurc, promising to call the next morn- ing, and so he went his way.

Nellie and Philip compared notes, and decided that Dr. Faiiehon was. by all odds. the haiidsoinest and most thsciuatiugyoung man. or rather, yomigi‘sli. they had ever met.

‘What in the world. Nellie, sent such a man as that up into this quiet little plac -1“ said l’hil.

' l'In sure I can't tell.’ said Neil; and

again his words about ‘ healing and being healcd,‘ and lhe tuncied sad look that ac- companied them, tlitted hack to Nellic‘s mind. but she did not connect them with

I’hil‘s remark, and dismissed the idle

thoughts.

she would recur to them some day. won-

some reason or other, his system seemed

to be entirely prostrated; there was no

healthy reaction, and all energy mid ain-

He was new, with the faithful doctor‘s

help, able to reach the door, and as Nell

had prophet-led, the sight of the summer

carnival out of door seemed to do him

the broad wiudu\\‘»siii, and Philip lay on the solo, he would sit near them and talk pl'sll ' the good, the true, and the beauli~ ul.‘

He would let them catch glimpses ofthc workings of his own glorious soul. He would flash before them its hidden wealth of thought and poesy, :uid sometimes, though ri ' y, they would catch a faint glimpse (ll sstore of tenderness, as hc spoke of his mother, who had long gone to rest, and whose life iiud become to all on earth biit as a ‘ story Iroui a printed hook.‘ And once he let Nell read his rc- ligioiis creed; he told he ' all he believed and loved, and what pained him to his heart‘s core in thc vile contests and striles ol the many cliques or denominatiens. And then. as he Wont. home that night, under the sununer starlight, alter telling her, he smiled bitterly to himself at the thought:

‘ \\'hat a fool I alwavs make of myself up there! turning my heart inside out so! Why do I lecl thatirresistahledcsire to tell that gill everything? to let my noblest sclt appear before tliurc innocent eyes? Dr. Fain-hon, take my advice, and don‘t make a fool. or worse, ol yoursell‘.’

Audior a day or two he assumed a shadow of reserve; but Neil‘s cheery, child-like, frank ways soon scattered it. and Philip seemed to miss his usnalgcnial, brotherly way, till, almost unconsciously to himself, he laspcd back into it again, and. if anything, become a shade “IUI'l‘ frank, osisolten the case when a self~ iIIIposcd restraint is removed.

Ami c. for Nell~onr vnung Nell, with her heart in her c 'es and a guilt-loss heart it was, ioo—whynced I tell how Dr. Guy I‘auchon was becoming a necessity to her; her very I art took root. in his strong. noble lien and presence. And meanwhile she never dr‘amed that she loved him so; she never dreamed that others might have more right to him than sho.

Sue had caught that sad. worn look on his glorious lace ollcu since that spring day when he spoke so earnestly. somuurn- lully, about ‘hcaling and beinnr healed.‘ and since then she lind lltiliUCt twice a tow words hall' uttered, tlIcn chok- ed back. She hudsecu those dark eyes tlash or till with tears at a sudden turn in some of their twilight talks; she had no- ticcd sudden silences, iill'ul brooks in their talk, and yet she never paused to connect it. Willi iuI_\lhi g in his thoughts; she never wondered why it was so. She had a vague idea that he had not had a happy early life—that was all.

I’oor Nellie! she was not versed in lmiimn nature; silo could not see how the man was struggling with iiimseit; she ucverdrtaimcd how many times he re- solved nianl'iilly never to come to see her again, breaking his resolves. us soon as they were formed. the very next day, when the yearning desire to hciu herrcst- l'nl. qiiietingp ' Is race. with ils sweet. child- like dnsh of reverence, was too strong to be repressed. And ho would go ag in. And so he kept. forging new cha. , and further and further away driltcd his pru- dent iiitcniioos, till mu,- evening he. made a. brave effort and resolved to leave it all there, and never to go twain. tor he knew that if be but sent the word. Dr. Grey would take charge of Philip once more; and he knew he had no business to go there. for in his heart of hearts was a scaled door; and he knew thatnecer, win is ihat iron srerei must be bid, had be right to love any woman, or to ask hcrtomairy

Well, our poor friend, who had so brave- ly pledged himself to dash out of his dull lift: its one well-sprin of innocence. of love, of peace, w . will see how it larcd with blur—how well he carried it out.
