GROUND”.

A miller sat by his siicut mill,
On a stone at the bridge near by;

His face that once Was smiling and round;
Was worn and wrinkled and wry.

He always had been a sober man,
And virtues his life adorned: ‘ .
But his neighbors said who knew him well,
That he very Often was corned.

Nature for him had wonderful charms,
For she gave him wealthaud power;
And while he cared nothing for her fruits,

He almost worshiped her flower.

With no desire for “Joyful times,"
He toiled for money and notes ;~

Still he would dance to the lively times,
And was often-“feeling his-oats."

'At length he died, for his work was done,
And he passed from earth away—_
Yet he was still waiting for the toil
That was due tohim that day.

He might have lived the peopte say,
To-connt his years atlenst fourscore;
But for a "little grain” of a shock,
He received while bolting his door.

THE FAIR MENDICANT.

 

. AN ENGLISH STORY.

 

Paul Ventnor was the curate of Blades-
burg, with wisdom in his head, with tender-
ness in his heart, but with precious little
money in his pocket.

One June morning, as he was coming
round the portcr‘s lodge of Foley Hall, he
heard a sweet, plaintive v'oibc say:

“For the love Of God, help me! I am
starving!”

He raised his head, quite startled out of
his equanimity. On the steps sat a young
woman, Her checks were tear-stained, and
her head and shoulders were enveloped in
a shawl. That she was sufl‘ering was evi-
dent, yet she wore neither the air nor the
dress of an ordinary mendicant.

He stopped and regarded her a. moment,
and then dropped a. coin into her outstretched
palm. She did not close her hand; she did

not look up to see if he was young or old,
or down at the coin to note its value.

“ Thank you,” she murmured, never rais-

ing the dark lashes from the wet cheeks.

“I can keep body and soul a little longer

together with that. 'Aml then? Why, I
can beg again, cvcu'if it kills me. Oh, kind
Sir, it is work thatI want, steady; daily
work, ill-paid though it be. Anything rather
than to beg.”

Thoughtfully the young curate stood, with

one hand holding his hat, and the other in
his pocket. Then his eyes fell upon the full,
White, rounded arm; next- upon the sweet,
oval face.

“ You seem a Stranger here i” he said.

“ I am; I walked over from Shodestonc.”
“,Walkedl Not in a day ?”
“ No, not in ten of them, sir.

I worked

a little'hcrc, and begged a little there, and
started between the times,” replied the was
man, adding to the voice that was so sweet
and lows. little hysterical laugh that made
him shudder. ' -

“Where are you going?" he asked.
“Where, I do not know, sir. Anywhere.

I wOuldn’t be made to do it, and so I.ran
away. N o, I would have died first.”

She said that 'with a vehemence; it was

was his next. question.

“‘Some for willing hands and heart to do,

.si'r. Teaching would suit me best, but it 'is
not for me to state my preferences.”

During all this time she had not raised

her eyes to his face. Was it from humility
or shame ‘2 He was hot one easily deceived,
only he wanted a fair scrutiny at her face
and eyes.

“ I am the curate of Bladesburg," he said.

‘ My name is Paul Ventnor. This is the
lodge at Foley Hall. If you will enter with
me I' will get you a temporary home at least.
Come.”

She rose to her feet; then, elevating her

head, she fixed her eyes upon him. They

and persistently refused. One violent inter-
view followed another, until Grace left Tem-
pleton Place, Willing to endure any priva-
tions rather than marry against her will, or
submit to a repetition of the violent scenes.
In the end the Earl was forced to confess
that he had been Wofully deceived, and truly
unkind.
9:- * * it *

Grace was standing alone with Paul Vent-
nor in the great library of Foley Hall. He
knew that she was going away on the mor-
row, but he did not knowthat she belonged .
to the noblesse. His heart was sad, and he
kept his teeth hard shut, as if thereby to be
'morc able to keep back an avowal of his
passion. Grace had learned to love him
dearly, and suspected his motive for remain-
ing silent. .

“ I must bid you good-bye, as you will not
be here to-morrow,” she said softly, holding
out her white hand to him. “ Oh, I shall
miss your sermons very much. '
“ And myself also, I had hoped,” he said,
sadly, humbly.
“ And yourself, also,” repeated G co in
her truthful way, and with heightens color.
“ Your congregation do not appreciatefyouh
Mr. Venlnor. Your salary is far too meagre
for the talents you possess, for the labor you
perform. _ The rectorate of Shadestone is
vacant. It is worth two thousand pounds.
All, if you had that, Mr. Ventnor."
“ Yes, if I but ,” said Paul, his voice
trembling, “ I know what I would do then.”
He averted his face to stifle his emotion.
Grace knew what he wanted to say, and
womanlike, she determined to make him say
it. With her eyes fixed upon him, and lap-
ping the floor with her dainty slippered foot,
she said in a low sweet voice :-
“ What would you do ?”
He turned full upon her, his dark, hand-
some face all aglow. ,He caught her hand,
and, in a thick, husky tone.
“What would I do then ? I would hold
your hand thus, and say—Grace, I love you
with my whole soul. I cannot live without ‘
you! Will you be mine ?”
Paul was trembling, and Grace’s face
flushed with pleasure.
“ It strikes me that you have said it now,"
she said, with a little guy laugh, and with-
drawing her hand. “ When you are rector
of Shadestone, I will hear you with more
complacency. Good night, Mr. Ventnor.”
The young curate went away from Foley
Hall with a heavy heart, and the next Sab-
bath was a dull and heavy one indeed. But
on the next Monday following, be received
a very great surprise, in the shape of a doc-
ument bearing an eurl’s crest, which read as
follows: . ' '
, TEMPLETON PLACE, Dec. 8, 1849.
To Paul Ventnor, Curatc of Bladesburg:
Rev. Sir—The Rectal-ate of Shadestone
awaits your acceptance. _By Christmas we
would expect to find you in charge;
Yours in haste,

MARCUS TEMPLETON.
Then followed one of the Earl’s blunt
pOsiscripts :
“ My daughter Grace has recommended
the appointment."
. Paul Ventnor' was almost dumfounded.
Hc sank into a chair and burst into tears.
BC was appreciated at last, and the Rector-
ship of Sharlestone was his. How was it to
be explained? Was the fair me'ndicant at

the Lodge gate on Earl’s daughter? Had

the crown piece he dropped into her hand
brought him an annuity of £2,000 a. year?
He accepted the offer, and by the holy-
days he was in charge. In course of time
Grace explained all to him, then be renewed
his proposition, which she entertained with
gratifying“ complacency.” .

But whendie applied to the Earl, he was
bluntly refused. 'Graec interceded and was
also refused. e , ~ '
“Father,” she said,
ton’s word worth ?3’ .
“As much-as his bond, Child, and rigidly
kept from father to son down, a proud an-
cestral line.” ' _ _

Grace laughed softly, with a sparkle of
triumph in ,her eye. She took from her
bosom the letter the Earl had written to her.
“ See," she said, “ I hold your written
word—o. true bond, indeed, with your crest
and name attached. In it you say, ‘ I shall
marry whomsoever it shall pielse me to mar-
ry.‘ Well—11 please to marry Paul Ventnor,
the rector of Shadestone.,’

The Earl‘s face clouded and then relaxed.
Fair and proud» as a queen his daughter
looked, with the brown, expectant eyes fixed
upon him. He went to her, put his arm
round her, and said: - _

“ Be it so child, I am fairly caught. Al-
though Ventnor is not titled, he is a hand—
somc, great-hearted fellow. He will be a
Dean before he dies. May you ever be hap-
