THE POND.
Once on a time a certain man was fonnd
That had a pond of water in hia ground;
A fine large pend of water, fresh and clear—
Enough to serve his torn for many # year;
Yet eo it was, a strange unhappy dread
(*f wanting water seized the fellow’s head ;—
When he was dry he was afraid to drink
Tee mach at once, for fear hia pond wonld sink.
Perp: tanl!y tormented with this thonebt,
He never vertared on a hearty dranght;
Revicing of himseit; revived his fright,
* Better,’ qnoth he, * to be half choked than qiite.”*
Upon hie pond continually intent,
In cares and pains his anxious life he epent,
Consuming all bie time ad strength away
To make the pond rise higher everv day.
Ile worked and slaved, and oh, how sl w it fills,
Ponved ju by paile ulls and took ont by gills.
In x wet searon he would skip about,
Plscing his buckets ander every spout;
Fro fal ing showers collecting fresh supply,
Aud grudging every clord that puseca by,
Cursing the drvness of the times each hour
Although it rained as fast as ii could pour;
Then he won'd wade throngh every dirty spot
Where any like moistere could be got;
And when he bad done draining off a log,
Still kept hinaselfos tirty os a heg;
And cried when'ere folks blamea him, “ what do you mean?
It coate a world of water to be clean."*
If some poor neighhor eraved to slack his thirst,
“Whar! rob wy pond; I'll see the rogue banged flrar.
A burning shame theae vermin of the poor
should creep enpnvieshed thas about my door,
Asif I had not froga, and t mds cuow,

The Sun etill found him, «s be rose or set,
Alwava in queat of something thet waswet;
Berimes he rose to sweep the morning dew,
And rested Inte to ecateh the evening too,
With sonvhs, and tronghs he labored to e: rich
Phe rising pond frown every netuhboring aiteh ;
With tronghs and pipes, and cuts and siaicer,
From growing plants be drained the very juices,
Made every stick of wood npon the he ges
Of good behaviour, to depos: plecves
Ry some conveyance or another. still
Devised recruits from each declining hill,
He left, inehort, for this beloved plunder,
No
Sometimee when forced to quit his awkward toil,
stone unturned that could have water under.
Aud sore ngvioet his will to res awhile,
Then straight he took his book, and down he eat,
To enleulate the expenses he was at;
How much he suffered, at a mecerate guess,
From all those wa.s by which the pond urew lees;
For us to those by which it still crew bigger,
For them he reckoned not a einale fyure,
He new a nice old saying which maintamed
Chat ‘twas bad luck to reckon what one had gained.

so fiuical and uice, past all convincing,
so wany proad, fantastic modes, in short,
\re introduced, that my poor pond pays for 't;
Not but 1 eou!d be well enough content
With what upon ray own account ie spent;
But thoee large articles from whence I reap
No kind of profit, strikes me on a heap.
Whata vast deal each moment at a sup,
Phis even thirsty earth itself drinks up;

Seuree for itsown unconscionable sides.

I'd seen you,’ she went on: ‘you'll be ex- actly like Mr. Bligh when you're ———’* She paused abruptly and colored a little, but in a moiwent she forced herself back into cor- posure and resumed, ‘ when you're as old as he is, I was going to say, but I remem- bered that old men hate to be reminded of their youth, and so I bungied and blundered, Can you forgive me ?'
Coul! he forgive her! Was the Bomnie Dandee subtile, or only sweetly simple, that she asked bim this, in that winning vice of hers? And, by the way, how did she, with her Scotch nam, come with that touch of ac o-nt—that wey of sf ly resting on the vowels that 18 a speciality of liishworen’s pronoun- ciution of words that they went to caress ?
As lie asked himself this, he looked at her more observently avd wondered a'eo how she came bs thar face and that expreesion,
ine remarkably short time the two became the most devoted friends,
Bonnie Day lee was not a mere insatiable coquette, She was not a heartless fo 1, ready and willing to play faat and loose for the sake of gaining a} ttle notoriety ; but sho wae that even more dangerous thing, 2 woman affil ted with sneh a vassion for pleasing that it be- came 2 fine'nrt in hor hands, and when she wae following it she could not stay to count the cost cr feilings or suecess, Ht wasa new senaatiot to lier to have the right to ssch at- tentiona, and admiration and love as Mr Biigh lavished upon her, end as Theo offered at crespectibl+ distance, on the gcore of heins his uncle’s nephew = It was a new sensation to her, and she enjoyed it to the full; revel- ling in it as one doee in sunhesme after a long frost, or in dainty viands after a long fast. Tho idea of ita b-ing wrong or reprehensible in any way to gctaer these roses of love and youth and pl-asure, that were blooming in her path, never entered her mind, She was not false or fickle in reality. she was only in tenecly fond of the oxcitemont of being pat upon a ‘pedestal, and being only worshipped in the sight of ail men.
Ti ere came a day when it was revealed to her suddenly, #» sudden!y that it made her dizzy. and then ebe bohaved--like a woman.
One morning, uncle, nephew. and Miss Dundec met,
‘Theo has been talking this morning of lemving us soun; before he goes, dear, we must know what day he is to cxme back gnd hail you a8 aa aunt.’ It cost Mr Bligh more than « slight ef ort to make this speech with apparent ease, for during the last few daya he had not been blind of sight. But he succeed- ed in doing so, and only he himself suspected the pain his own words vave him.
‘Gomg! Theo going!’ exclaimed Miss Dundee, lapsing from fun into eol mnity in a moment, and laying ber whip with frank caressing gesture on Theo's arm as she spoke, *Oh, don’t think 0° going, Theo; I eant spare you—we can’t spare him, ean we?’
The men’s eves met for a moment as Made spoke, and in that mome: t each reud that the other knew all about it. * He knows ? lore her; ’ poor Theo moaned in his heart, and * he sees | k ow it,’ Mr. Bligh thought, with not one whit lesa pain, And a silence of some moments fall upun them, and in that silence Madg> saw things clearly,
To recognise the love of one man in the presence of another man wh» has a right to fee! joalous of her, is to be iu a position of the greatest danger and dolicacy and difficulty Foor Madge flinched for the first moment when che found Nerself in it, but the next in- stant ehe recovered herself, and, with the generosity of a woman, sought to put them well with one another, without regard to her. self,
* It was selfish of me to say i wouldn’t epar® you, for if muet bs dull for you here ; bat the fact ‘s, Theo hag spoilt me, juct a my brothers de, and [ have fallen imto the way of ordering him sbout a» I do them, forgetting that he isa‘t a brother.’
It was terribly trying work for thew all, weizhted vith the disgoverice they had recent- iy mads chovt each other porte ble to Mr. B
It became insup ligh efter a short time, end he sauntered ovt into the garden, and Theo and Madge were left alons,
Her spit rose with hsr eerse of danger, as dove that of all finely organized natures, and she turned to him bright and brave at once, though he hag grown to he very dear to hor, and though she knew that he was cufiering horribly on her account, ‘It seems io me,’ she said, ‘that we're all very weak and wrong to let a shadow settle over the lasi viait you'll have with nus, until | am an old married woinwa with hous hold ceres upon mz ¢ hould- that'll crush down my love for visits.’

Tt was = ghactly state of affaire, and as goon as he cow'd Theo Bligh made an end of go- ing @way, Thetwo men bad no verbal exe planation on leave taking, but they parted es comrades who had been wounded in the same fight. mizht part. And then Theo Sound that though existence was not embittered to him, the eavor had gone trom the old pleasures.
It was decided'y not orth while now: he felt, tu try and do anything good or definite, for he cou'd never find a woman to share his glory or smile apon his eaccess, who could pat Bonnie Durcdea out of bi mind; after her, other woren did and would alwavs appear te be want'ng in something She hed the trick of making others appear tame and pele, and ins\.ffivient and—well, the man who has beea shone upon by a star, never fecls that there is much warmth 'n 8 taper,
H- banished himself #0 effeetnally that he heard no tidings from the Chase for siz months, and then he ventared to send his ad- dress to hie binker, ard to have lettere for- warded to him, but before these letters are read. a@ retrospective glance at the Bonnie Dundee must be given.
She bore his departure very bravely. Ree member how many other interests were elaim- ‘ng her attention at the time, and remember the ardent, impressionable, changeable nature of the girl. Them was a good deal of the woman, She had the tuculty of feeling in- tensely for the time, ard of getting over things. Is not that characteristic the secret of many women keeping right, and many othere going wrong ?
It brushed the bloom of the peach roughly when he went away, for that veiled idolatry had heen very pleasant to her, nevertheless, s e bore it bravely, and made the best of that which remained to her, * Iam so sorry, for I was 20 fond of him,* she eaid to her lover, with that diearming frankness which womea of her calibre know so well how to use. And Mr. Bligh, hearng her, did not wouder that his nephew had been scorched by the @ory ordeal through whieh he had been passed.
There was this about it, too, that i was such clean fire that even her own sem could not condemn ani prophecy evil things: e neerning Mr. Dandee’s warmth. Just as she loved lig! t, and dancing, and; flowers, and sweet sounds, so did she love to beloved: and though it made ther dangerous it wevery made her deepicab!e, And somehow men un-. derstood this, and sz foetered her other foie. bles, becaase of their gladness that she was free from greater ones,
It was only about a week before the day fixed for their marriage, that Mr. Bligh vene. t red to speak decisively to her. Very earn. estly and gently he spoke, beseeched her to open ali her heart to him, and to tell her if ever any other image disylsoed his, And Madze listened thoughtfully, and analysed her own emotions, and finally anawered him:
‘li he had come first, | should have loved Theo desperately ; as it was J didn’t dare let myself, You're not afraid are you,’
Only for your happiness, my poor child, he suid, ‘not ter my own honour.”
‘I like you ¢o much, you know,”’ she said energeiically—*it does seeu so hard that ope can’t express el] one’s littie graditions of feelings in words—I lke you so much ~ but it's dark to me now without him,” she added with @ sodden passion that carried her out of herself, and convioced him tbat she never eould be his wife,
‘He is the younger man—and—you are right,” He tried to say it calmly, but it was a hard blow; and again as the strength of his manhood was shaken, Madge wavered, and etrove to comfort him.
‘Let things go on end! shall forget him, ov grow indifferent of him ; I know myseli— I shall live it down.
“You need not, poor child, for he loves you, tao.”
‘Yes, I know that,’ she anewered with the reckless openness that made her what she was.
4fter that, such of the world as knew the Blighs and Dundees bed a fresh and delight fal source of wonderment.for a time, The marriage between the owner of the Chase and Madge was broken off, avd atill they were friendly ; and still neither would listen te one word against or comment on the conduct of the other, Time would tell, people said espiene ly, reserving their belief as to what time would tell to themselve™.
Siz months passed snd then Theo Bligh received those letsere of which mention has heen made One wetfrom Madge and con tained these words—
» *Your uncle has promised to explain every- thing. I pee! only say thet I shall always be your faithiul servant, Madge Dundee.’
The other was from hie uncle and ev ntsin ec a free forgiveness [this wes only implied, not coarsely volunteered], and » full aceouat. ‘Come beck and win what I have lost, and as I love you as my #on, a9 will | love her as my daughter.’ That wes romething like an invi- tation from e defeated to seceessful lover.
