A maiden. in a garden, dreaming Of fairy priuee and hateyon days ;

Her head with sunny tresses gleaming, Bowed down beneath dim trellised ways.

A,rew of sunflowers by a paling, A wicket left upon the latch, i. Asummer-house with wood! ne trailirg, An ivy creeping o'er the thatch.

A footfall on the garden gravel, A quickening heart, a whispered word ; A routh, burnt brown with fereign tra el, Come back to claim a hope deferred,

O happy, happy time of Love's beginning, ; Ere eves we cau guess that storms are near: Sunlight ,laacing, buds unfolding, thrashes

sin. ing, ; Golden summer of the sou! and of the year!

I.

A garret in acily byway, A pale sad woman all alone ;

A weary wander on life's highway, Poor aod forsaken and noknown.

What nee l te knit the little stocking, Or strive again for daily bread ?

Why set an empty cradle rocking ? The nescling has forever fled !

. . rt ** Yos, both are gone; perchance ‘tis better ! veges ? She sighs at length. ‘*’Tis better so! Then ben |s to read a tattered letter ;

Or tures to watch the falling snow.

Ah, bitter, bitter time of Sorrow’s waking, Ere even we can dream that hope is near! Snow is falling, flow’rs are fading, hearts are breaking, Weary winter of the Soul and of the year! —Vioirt VANF.

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Concluded.

Four weeks passed away, and again Miss Priscilla had five hundred doliars in her possession the amount paid her everv miounth for the rent of some houses in another street.

It huppened to be a stormy .day in Mareb. and she decided to leave the meney in the house over night, as_ be- fore, instead of taking it to the bank.

‘ Doris is going, there can be no dan-

ger. sh . muttered grimly, 48 the crisp F

roll of bills were tucked away in the desk,

In the middle of the night she awak ened suddenly to the consciousness that some one was inthe house. She had plonty of nerve, an Linstead of cov- ering her face with the bedclothes, she sprung up, drew an old wrapper about her and strack a light.

At the same instant there came a thud outside, as of a heavy fall, followed by asuccession of grozns.

Mise Priscilla knew at once what had happened. Running down stairs, she tore open the street door, acd thrusting out her light beheld the figure of a man atretchod upon the flagying. He had fallen ‘rom the baleony abovo while at- tempt ag to descend.

‘Merey !’she exclaimed. ‘ You wick ed wretch ! Issa wonder you were not killed outright.’

‘ Hush,’ implored the wounded man, ‘ For Uod’s sake don’t betray me!’

At the sound of that voice Miss Pris- cilla gave a voilent start acd leaned for. ward.

qt

‘

i, Reginald ! you?’

‘Yes, Don’t give me up to the of- ficers of the law, aunt Priscilla—don’t do it.

She drow a quick breath, and under- slood all at once.

‘You come herato rob me, Reginald ?’ ‘Yos; | knew when the rents were paid, and that you sometimes kept the money by you for aday or two. But here it is—every doliar. Curse the tail! [¢ bas made me the wretch I am.’

‘QO: course. I was in debt —hard up —and you would have refused me had I applied for help. Tiere was no other Way.

‘Tiow did you open the desk ?’

‘Tl have a skeleton key.’

‘Coward! cried the woman, faming up like a voleano. ‘And you could leave Doris, the poor child, to suffer in your stead? I'll never forgive you,

never !

‘[ shall keep the secret of your mis- doin.’s,’ she said, at parting. But, take! @:re that you never darken wy dov:s: azail. Here are the five huedred dole! ars you risked your life to obtain. |

“Take the money—it is all yon will ever get irom me.’

The next day at neon, Doris Dreome | was returning home from the mill in} her imple gray dress, when a grand| carriage :olled down the hill and stopp- ed just opposite. An eager, trempling | eld vo ee spoke her same.

‘Doris, my child, come here and say) that you forgive my harshness and in | justice.’
