I'm‘ growing old! I’in growing old! ~ ' ‘
' I feel the years are‘ gliding on,‘
And fleeting moments still unfold ~

Twelve months have glided, and again ,
I add another to my years ;_
Ah me! they are a varied train‘. _~
Of smiles, of joys, of "grief and tears.-
My spring-lime came. with joy I caught
The merry strain the thrusher sung,-
Ench op'ning day some new joy. brought '
And loud and free my music rung; A
And wreathed around my brow the flowers
"That buddedin my cloudless way ; ,
Alilltliey were bright and joyous hours,
Ah lab I how fleet they sped away.“
.My summer came, with lyrigliter beam
_Each day a warmer sun displayed ; '
But love came o'er my summer dream.
And fringed its golden dreams with shade:
Then o'er my brow came pensive thought,-
‘ And dashed my cup of joy with pain,
Disquietude my idol wrought.-
For oh I I loved, but loved in vain‘.-
My autumn cattle‘, and round my heart
My spring-bi ight leaves grew sore and fell;

For in my heart tliereis a spot,
As green as in my snring-time past--5

One day I ivasrambling about the out-
skirts of the lovely village of Sydenham, in
Kent, when a shower drove me to take ‘ref-
uge in a little wayside collage. ~Immediate-
Iy.aIlel'wal‘(Is, a lady entered, and asked per-
mission to wait till the rain was over. The
good woman of the cottage placed a chair for
her visitor, with a hearty welcome, and then
resumed her occupation of looking anxiously
along the road, from which this momentary
interruption bad withdrawn her. In a few
minutes I heard the pattering ofapair of
small feet along the muddy road.
“ Poor little lamb! :he’s wet to the skin I”
said the woman, receiving into her ‘open
arms the owner oftbe small feet, a little girl
aboutsix years old. " Ain't you wet, dear P”
“ Yes, I'm very wet,” l'Ppll(-.‘(I the child.
“ We'll soon set that to rights. Come by
the fire, ,thet'c’s a darling, , ] hope you’ll
‘please to excuse me, ma’am ," she continued,
addressing the lady,“but, you see, if I left
her wet things on she’d be sure to catch cold.”
“I should be very sorry, indeed, if you
were to do so on account of my being here,
replied the visitor, watching with much in-
terest the maternal cares that were bestowed
upon the little wanderer’s comfort.- “You
seem very fond ofyour little girl. I suppose
she is your youngest, is she not '2”
" La, ma’am ! she's no child of mine, nor
noways related,” said the woman, afI'+.-ction-
aiely kissing the object that truth obliged her
to disown ; “ but that don’t make no‘ kind. of
difference, I am as food of her as ifshe. was
my own flesh and blood, every bit.” _
“ Indeed you‘ seein so. I quite thoitght
she was the youngest, and the pet.”
“ She is the pet, ma‘am, bless her little‘
heart; but she is noivays related to rite nor
my husband.” ,
“ Whose child is she, then :” inquired the
lady. _ , _
“ Why, r.*i‘a’2irr'i,- she's the child of the man
fhat lives in the next cotlagb‘ down the road
—yon can see the chimney from our door;
and just two years ago; he lost his wife.-
Sbe died, poor thing‘! just \vlie‘i‘i, one may
say, she was most wanted, for this dear child
was barely four years old, and there were two
boys older, and one baby in arms. VVcll,
you "see, ma’am, it was like to drive him be-
side himself to have four babies to take‘ care’
of, and go’ to his work besides. So me and
if another neitrhbor, wejust thought we might
help him a bit if we took the two youngest
o'l'I'hi‘s hands. So as she had lost her baby,
that was a few months old, she too'l{ quite
natural to the little one:" and I had this dar-
ling. All my own children were ofI'n‘:‘y bands,
and out in the world eamingtheir own‘ bread ;
so what differen7.’ecotrid this little thing make
to us? We do'u"‘t feel the want of hef bit of
victuals;-' and her little clothes and things,»
they are notiiing burdly. I can make most
of. them out of my own old ones; and
what I buys new for her, why as things
‘is so‘ cheap,- as one may say, we gets ’cm for
nothing almost.”
“ I hope she i-s a good child." said the vis-
”it0ij,” and that she repays you by her love
and gratitude for the care you bestow upon
her.” ’
“She’s the best little soul’ in the vi‘rorld*,—”
_retni~ned the ccttager, hugging the half-na-
ked child affectionately in- her arms:-‘ and I
really think that she has brought luck to‘ us,
for vi-e’ve seem‘ed= to thrive ever sirrce she
came. Maybap my lrusba-nd would slop,once
a while, of a Saturday night, and take‘ a pint
of beer at the‘ public house, but he never does
so now. He says, if he feels incliiiied to go
in, he stops and thinks that Na-ncy wa'nl's' 8
pair of shoes, or a warm frock, or something
oftbat sort, and a six-pence or a shilling will
go a good way towards it, and then he comes
home. And be’s so fond of lier,ioo. I don’t
think he ever loved one of his own children
so well as he does ‘her. , But I can hardly
wonder at it,» neither, m'a~’ain, for she is such
a good, obedient child‘, though I say" it before
her face, which I- sbou‘ldn’t I know, only she
is toogood to be spoilt.~ And then she be-

“ Yes,” said the child; “ andwe planted
such a.lot of lateral”, ' . .
“ So you did my dear. Father digged up
the ground, and!Nancy planted every one of
them, so she did." _ .
“ Yes——and mother cut them all up into
bits ready to plant." ‘ '
“ So I did, darlingf but you could have
‘ done that too, only I was afeard you should
cut your littlle fingers into the bargain. I’.m
sure she could have done it, ma’nm‘, she’s so‘

“ Ihavc no doubt at all about It,",replied
the visitor, rising ;- and now, as the rain seems
to have ceased, I will wish you a good morn-
ing, and thank you for your kindness in giv-
ing me shelter so long.” ' A" ' *
“Good morning ina"din, and thank you for
coming into my poor place. Say,Good morn-
ing, to the lady, Nancy.” ‘ ' ‘
“Good inoriiing,ma’am,” said Nancy, with
one finger in her month._
"- Good-bye’ little dear,” said the Indy, and
went her way; but I remained to see ii little
more'of Nancy and her kind-liearted» foster-
motber. In the‘evenin,c_g,-the “ father” came,
home, and after. some preliminary bxcitalion
of Nanc_v’s curiosity, ‘he opened a parcel that
he had taken from his pocket, and disclosed a

Then after ten, for it was in the‘ summer
time, an hour was spent in attending to the
garden, and Nancy drew a dish pf young'on-
ions, of her own‘ sowing, for supper. Don't
be shocked at this, fair reader; they were
not so odoriferous by a great deal, as the
garlic so plentifully eaten by all ranks in '
Spain——ihat land of romance, and guitars,-
zgnd set"anades.- _'I‘here was colizgiangy exp! c‘:cd
10 supper loo : Nancy’s father, or “ daddy,”
as she called him to distinguish him from It :-
father by adoption, and *‘ f.-itlicr’s” sister
Mary. Mary was a nice,-tidy-looking young
woman, of about five or six‘ and twenty —
She had just left her place, and had come to
stay with her brother till she got suited again,-
which I thought she would not have to wait
for very long, when I observed the deep im-
pression‘ she seemed to ZI'IflI(€ upon Naucy’s
“ daddy” as soon as he came in. He took
cam, duriu_t=,' U10 C0Wse ofthe evening, to let
tier understand that he was only thirty-‘two,
and that his wages were to be raised rnrxi
week. Then he talked about his two boys
at home, how handy and clever they were ,1
but that they sadly wanted some tidy young
woman to look after them; Tlien he told
her about his Cottage, saying it was just as
comfortable :1 one us hear brother's. only not
so orderly, and still for the want of some tidy
young ivoinan to take care ofit. And when
she was out oftbe room, he even went so far
as to ask her: brother, as they sat smoking
their pipes together, whether he‘ thought
Mary would have him. , A ‘_
“ You’d better ask her,- yourself, John,-’~’
was the reply; she's a‘ good, gleatly ‘girl, and
wo’uld maize a good wife to any mam. She’s'
not ‘single now for want of being asked, for
sbe’s had lots of lovers.”
“ Well, I ivonder if she’d have me; To‘-
morrow will be Sunday, so l’ll come up in
the evening, and ask her to‘ take a walk, and
then we’ll see.” ‘He smoked zmo‘ll'ier pipe
almost in silence, and then departed.
“ I say, Mary,” said her brother, jdcosely,
after he was gone, “ vvilt thou have John E"
“ Dou’t bother,” replied Mary, blushing.
_ “ But he‘s asked me it Ithought you would.
What shall I tell him C3” .
“ Yo_u"d better not tell bin"! what you don’t
know ; and I won’t say before he asks me,"
was her cautious answer.
“ Well, hc’s coming to-'mo‘rrow to‘ go fora‘
walktwith yon." _
“ Don’: be foolish,” said Mary, repi‘ov-
ingly. _
"‘ Didn’t you hear him say so, motlier ?”
he per§isted,- appealing to his wife. _
“ He did say so,- Mary, for I heard him.”
“' La !” ericlaimed Mary,-“ but that a‘iri-t
asking me to marry liiniz” -
“No, but he Will‘ ask you‘. What’ will
you say .9” _ , .
“I sbzin’t' fell you beforehand, because. I
know he ain’t ageing to ask me,-” said Mary.
Sn-re as she was of t.II'l-5',‘ irldid seem a‘ l'i-tile
odd that she‘ stro'ul"d spend more tSl1=an‘nn hour
before going to bed, in retrimming her Sun-
day bonnet, and otherwise doing up her best
clothes. ,
I was prevented witnessing‘ what tonic
place du'ri'ng the walk ontbe following even-
ing; but I suppose all went smoothly, for
when I visited‘ the cottage agairr,— which was
not till the following Saturday, I found they -
were to be asked If: church the next
morning. , . _ - A .
“ You see, fatlrei',’l’ observed the: wife" to
her ht1sba'D‘d',- “it’s just" what I said. Noth-
ing but good ever does come of our taking
that dear child. But who’d have thought it
would have got such a good husband for our
