Ella. .
Last night, while I sound was sleeping
In my chamber dark and still,
I think a fairy was creeping
(Moved but by her own sweet will)
All over my curtained windows,
And with noiseless fingers too;
While such queer and funny pictures
Fast under her light touch grew.
'~ Louise.
But there are not any fairies;
And how, men. could pictures grow 1
Some person has been deceiving
You sadly to tell you so.
I think that you mean the frost~work,
That over the window-frame
Sparkles and gleam: in the sunshine,
After the chill winter rain.
Ella.
You are too wise for my knowledge.
- I know who scndeth it all.
God breathes. and the f ost is given:
He maketh the rain to fall.
But could he not send an angel,
From h’s happy home above,
To make me the pretty pictures
He knows that I dearly love 1
Louise.
But God has work more exalted
For his holy ones to do,
And errands of higher nature,
Than that of amusing you.
Do you think the great. grand angels,
From their starry home on high,
Look down to notice your playing,
0r care when you laugh or cry 2
Ella.
God looks down. And he hears me too;
And he loves the children all!
He points the beautiful flowers
That blossom from Spring till Fall;
He speaks in the pearly dew-drop
That glistens the rose above;
And numberless voices teach us
Our Father’s unfailing love.
.Lout‘se.
That sounds pretty too; but always
I’ve thought God so far away:
How could he know, through the distance,
When I'd sometimes disobey 7 _
(Sq/51y.) I fear I have grieved him often,
Nor heeded, so thoughtless I.
That all around and uboutme
His presence was ever nigh.
Both.
Then let us remember ever
His angels our footsteps truce:
And they in his kingdom never
' Shall fail to behold his face.
The lambs in his loving bosom
Ilc’ll carry the rough paths o'er.
Nor leave them, till sale and happy,
They rest on the shining shore.

“ I N SPITE OF THEMSELVES.”
nr mss r. HODGSON.
Author of “Kathleen’s Lose-Story.”
Miss Anne Manners drew her scissors
from the collection of housewifeiyinslru-
menls which llu'bg‘ at her severe-looking
which was a thought vindicilive.
“ If you cared for women, John," she
said, “I should think it necessary lo warn
you; but as you don’t care for women, I
merely tell you as a piece of information.
She is a- fascinating, handsome, unscrupu-
lous flirt. Thai is all I have to say.”
John Manners was a bachelor, whose only
sister kept house for him. His residence
was one of the most beautiful within thirty
miles of Beston, and that is saying a great
deal. He had just returned from a. year in
Europe, and Anne was speaking of a dis-
tant cousin, whom he found visiting his
sister. _
He smiled the quiet smile, which was
peculiar to him, as he threw his paper aside
and made himselfa little more comfortable
on his luxurious lounge.
“ All i” he repealed,in a voice‘ as quiet
and peculiar, in spite of its faint amusement,
as the smile had been. “ Isn’t it quite
enough, Anne? Women are proverbially
severe upon women, and perhaps—”
Miss Anne interrupted him with another.

“Severe! Don’t talk nonsense," oratori-
cally. “That girl is twenty years old,.and
she is forty as regards artfulness this min-
ute. Three days showed me how to see
through her airs and graces. She can’t

and turn his ridiculous head upside down
with her flowers and nonsense, and didn’t
that unfortunate simplelon propose to her
within a fortnight ? Severe, indeed l”
John‘laughcd outright. His sister’s irate
description of her guest amused him. He
had heard of Cecil Dare, before hevreinmed
home, and as it happened lie was not on-
prepared to meet her; but the gentleman
who had described her dangerous proclivi-
lies had described them with a masculine
remembrance of her beauty, and had ended
with something like admiration even for
this modern Enchanlrcss in his tone. .
“ You had better take care of yourself.”
hail been his laughing farewell. “ Miss Dare
does not pay‘ visits to her lhirly-sccond
cousin for nothing.”
But, “ forewarned forearmed," John had
thought. Yet he felt a faint integcst in this
dangerous young person. As Miss Anne
had said, he did not care for women gen-
erally, for he was thirty, well-looking, well-
to-do, and still fancy free; but his natural
gravity had been aroused into something of
a pleasure in the anticipation of seeing,
hearing, and talking to her.
“ Where is Miss Dare now i” he asked. I
havchseen no signs of her as yei,excepl
‘ Cupidon l’ ” Cupidon, be it known, was a
tiny toy terrier, with no eyes to speak of to
be seen under his shaggy, while hair, and
was Miss Dare’s private property.
“ She went out this afternoon,” said Miss
Anne. " To do her justice, she thought, I
suppose, that you and I would rather spend
our first few hours alone together. She
said she was going to the Dacres to see
Laura and Josie. Those Dacre girls are
perfectly infatuated over her, and Fred
came from Harvard last week, so she look
the pony-carriage after dinner and drove
over.”
, John made no reply, but listlessly began
to pull Cupidon’s blue ribbon collar, though
scarcely thinking of her mistress. Like all
men he had an ideal. and his ideal was not
a Cecil Dare. Perhaps he had a fancy fora
soft-eyed, sweet-faced little girl, whom he
might meet some future day. Certainly, he
never dreamed of this fair, proud girl as his
fate, and certainly on his first meeting with
her the thought was further from his mind
than ever.
He was still lying upon the couch, with
Cupidon on a cushion at his feel, when he
heard the sound of wheels rolling up the
carriage-drive, and the ring of a refiged,
musical voice. A momcninfler the little
pony-carriage stopped at the door, and some-
body got out. This was Miss Dare, John
Manners decided, as he listened, and she
was talking gayly with some one who had
cvidenliy accompanied her, and whose first
speech confirmed-his belief that it was Fred.
erick Dacrc.
“ You won’t let me come in, of course,".
he was saying, “ after that solemn promise
that Ishould perform Laura’s bchcsls. But
may I not be allowed to call lo-morrow l”
“ Certainly," said the clear, insouet'ant
voice. “Any time you like. “ Don’t forget
to lcll Laura how miserably I kept my
promise. Waitaminulc—hcre is nilower
for you. The last rose of summer, or the
last but one. Au ”coir.”
And turning his head to the window
John saw a handsome, stylish, young fel-
low pass down the gravel walk, fastening a
creamypiuk rose in his coat. -
He did not see Miss Dare, of course,fo
girdle. and cut her thread with a little snap .
'Buthis sister’s arrival put an end to his
a glimpse of a fluttering dress as she ran up
the staircase.
In spite of Miss Manners' remark upon
her brother’s non susceptibility, it must he
confessed that she felt no little fear of her
young relative’s fascinations. An ordinari-
ly pretty or charming girl she could have
trusted, but not one like this — this young
lady was not an ordinary girl in any sense
of the term; accordingly, I am convinced,
you will agree with me that it was rather
trying to be called away at that most criti-
cal of limes, the first interview, by a
troublesome rheumatic. pensioner. But so
it was, Belly Finnegan, “ was taken power-
ful bad,” so said the messenger, “ and
wants to see yez badly.”
Miss Anne put on her bonnet with a (le-
cidcd air. Severe as she was, she was
never behindhand in rendering assislance to
those who needed it. She sent on apolo-
getic message up stairs to Miss Dare before
she went out; and that young lady, with a
calm during which no other person on earth
would have displayed, replied lhrougli the
servant girl that, “ There was no need of
apology. She would go down stairs as soon
as she was dressed, and pour out Mr. Man-
ners’ ten for him."
And so she did. Twenty minutes after
his sister left the house, John Manners,who
was reading in his easy-chair, heard Miss
Dare's bedroom door open, and the light,
decided feel coming down the stair-case.
with the soft sweep of a train in their
wake. He stood up with his book in his
hand, looking very courtly and imposing
when she entered, and he had just time to
see her fully in the brilliant gilt of the
chandelier before she spoke She was a
toll, supple girl, with an air of cool case ex-
pressing itself in her gracefulncss, and he
had a quick conception of. a wonderfully
fair face, with wonderfully artistic coloring,
bronze eyes, bronze hair, and a trailing
dress of soft gray stuff, which swept the
carpet.
She looked at him' calmly for a moment,
and then extended a hand like a bit of sculp- .

had beena suspicion of elabornleness in
her dress, or a touch of ceremony in her
manner, he would have felt that he needed
to stand on guard; but what could have
soil, gray robe, what more natural than her
graceful self-possession ? She came to the
hearth when he had made his grave, pleas-
ant rcply, and she certainly looked more at
home than he did, as she pulled the bell
asasummons lo the servants to bring in
the lea. ‘
“I am sorry cousin Anne was called
away," she said, when she look her seat at
the bend of the table. “ That terrible Mrs.

beginning with rheumatism again.~ Do you

There was not a touch of affection or
embarrassment in her manner, as she paus-
ed with the silver cream-jug poised in her
question. Miss Anne herself could not have
one thing is certain, namely, that Miss Anne
would not have made the commonplace
speech so effective. As was to be expected,
John Manners made the natural mistake of
trying to reconcile report with the evidence
of his senses. This girl in her quiet dress
instead of thirty! He looked at her proud.
reticent, red-lipped mouth, and then at the
bronze eyes, and his strong admiration for
her beauty made him so unwise as to feel
inclined to set report at defiance.
“You have been with Anne several weeks,
cessary to say something.
“ A month,” raising her beautiful, indo-
remolest idea what affairs are meant; but
on the death of my guardian, his lawyer
gave me to understand that something need-
Hc scarcely knew why it was, but before
the meal was ended he had begun to feel
something which was no novelty, and that
there was something'more than indifference
in her careless grace. If this air had been
more decided, he would have almost fancied
that shedid not like him, and that she wish.
ed him to understand it; but as it was, he
could only wonder if her coldness merely
existed in his imagination, or if it was some-
thing real: and he ended byobserving her
more closely, and by feeling a thought more
interested.
She drew Miss Anne’s favorite chair to-
the fire when they rose from the table, and
took a seat in it, holding a dainty inlaid
hand-screen between her wood-rose tinted
cheek and the blaze, letting her soft, dark
eyes rest upon him with quiet interest as
site listened to what he said, and. occasion-
ally answercd in her clear, refined voice.
When Miss Anne returned from her cr-
rand of mercy Cecil was sitting there still.
the folds of her soft, gray robe sweeping the
gay-lined hearth-rug, and Cupidon, the fa-
vored, curled up. on her lap, blinking his
black dots of eyes luxuriously under his
shaggy, terrier eyebrows. She did not move
when Miss Anne entered, except to glance
over her shoulder with a gay. cosy welcome,
which made that lady catch her breath.
“ Ab, cousin Anne!” she said, “ back at
last! I was afraid your patient would keep
you all night." - '
“ Were you i” said Miss Anne, gravely, as
she untied her bonnet-strings. “ You have
had tea, I suppose ‘9”
“ Certainly,” was the quiet reply. “ We
had it soon afler you went away. Mr. Man-
ners and I." ‘
“ Just as I suspected,” thought the far-
seeing spinstcr. “ You couldn’t let him
alone." ,
But, really, Miss Dare looked very horm-
less and sufficiently charming as she sat in
the‘ glow of the fire. The brilliant light of
the chandelier brought out the woodcrosc
tinting wonderfully, and lighted up the
rich, sparkling ring on the fair, smooth hand
which caressed Cupidon. Altogether, cir-
cumstances were making a picture of her,
and John sat opposite, forgetling the book
he‘lleld in his band, and looking at her.

rcctly.
“ I have some lcllcl's to write,” she said;
“ so you must excuse me for to-night.
Good evening, Mr. Manners.” And the
supple, gay-robed figure passed out of the
room in as mailer-of—facl manner as it bud
entered. V »
Miss Anne look the sent her guest'had va-

“ Well,” she said, as if she was prepared
for any amount of weakness which could
be displayed. “Well, what do youthink

brother, slowly. “Quite a remarkably

“ are you going lo follow Fred Dare l?”
John opened his fine, dark eyes.
“ My dear Anne,” he said, “ what a very
extraordinary question.”
you knew Cecil Dare as well as I do, you
would say it was a very ordinary question.
Will you be kind enough to answer it ‘2”
“ Certainly," was the reply, as the gentle-
man shot his book and laid it on the table.
“ My answer is, N o l”
“ Very well, then.” said Miss Anne, con-
cisely. “ Don’t say she is beautiful and
graceful — don’t even think it! It will be
by far the safest plan." And taking up her
bonnet and shawl, she departed in stale.
In default of having nothing else to do,
John Manners turned to his book again ;
but, as he opened it, he glanced with some-
thing ofintcresl at the chair on which the
gray-robes] figure had been scaled.
“ I hope Anne does not show-her preju-
dice,” he said. “ It seems prejudice to me.”
And being an honorable, unsuspecting gen-
tleman, he believed what he was saying. .
He did not see much of the young lady
until lhc‘following evening. In the morn-
ing she made her appearance of breakfast,
with a late white rose in her bronze puffs,
and a, little sleepy softness in her eyes,
which was very becoming ; but the faint
touch of indifference which John Manners
had noticed the night before was more de-
cided; and, breakfast over, she went back
to her room to finish her letters.
Bulin'lhe evening, as John was laying
aside the book he had been reading, there
came a r'uslle of silk in the corridor, some
one lapped lightly at the door, and in an-
chr to his, “ Walk in,” Cecil Dare opened
it, and stood upon the threshold, with a
book in her hand. Her dress was gray
again, but it was gray silk, and a wonder of
a train mailed in [its wake; the wood-rose
her hair.
“ Do I disturb you i” she asked, quietly,
“ I will not come in ifIdo. I only wished
shelves.” . .
“ Pray come in. I am only reading.”
She entered at once, stopping a moment
with perfect coolness to replace the borrow-
her.
His first sensation on seeing her had been
something of surprise, but certainly it sunk
into insignificance before his amazement at
her first speech. _'
“ And so cousin Anne has warned you i”
she said, after a minute’s silence, lifting her
cool, superb eyes.
“ I-——I beg your pardon," he sismmered.
“ but I really do not understand you.” But
he had never been more cerlain of anything
and she was perfcclly aware of it.
She went on as coolly as ever, scarcely
noticing what he had said, and toying with
the heavy gold bracelet on her round,white
wrist. _ ~
“ I went into the breakfastroom last night
heard her talking to yon—the door was half
brows. “ People. have said it so often, that
I really begin to believe I must be 9. dan-
gerous person.”
“ I am very sorry —” he began, siifily.
Shc interrupted him.
“ Oh, no i Pray don’t! There is no need
right. I merely thought I would tell you
my presumption had not extended to you.
That is all.”
To say that John Manners was astonish-
ed would‘bc to say very little. If there had
been a shade of wounded pride in her face,
not; if she had seemed hurt, or embarrassed,
he would have known how to reply to her,
and feel that he was looking rather ridicu-
loos.
He was beginning to try to say something,
him again. ,
“0h!” she said, with a certain noncha-
frank. We shall be the better friends for it,
and cousin Anne will be'morc comfortable.”
She was woman enough, in spite of her in--
difference, to fire ofi‘ this quiet shot. “Cousin
Anne is not very fond of me. Perhaps we
don’t understand each other, or perhaps,”
an odd little smile crept in here, “ we no-
dersland each other too well.” _
She did not remain long afler this, only
long enough to set the subject utterly aside,
and sit talking for a few minutes in her per-
fectly musical voice. Then she arose, and
taking up the book she had brought from
the shelves and laid it on the table, went
out of the room, leaving John to his new
train of thought.
From that time Miss Anne had little to
complain of, at least so far as her chief care
was concerned. She could not prevent Miss
Dare making a picture of herself in trailing
soft, tinted dresses and delicate laces; she
could not prevent her dropping into her
perfect altitudes, and caressing Cupidon
with that wonder of a supple-jointed whilt
hand; but she was very much consoled
when she found that nothing of this was
directed fit John. But there was another
thing she could not do, which was to shut
John’s eyes. ' From his first sense of annoy-
ance had grown a constant desire to watch
this girl, who was such a novelty to him.
She had piqued and astonished him inlv
wishing to know more of her, and so he was
betrayed into an interest which would have
been dangerous to any man. She never
avoided him ; indeed, it seemed as though
her indifference was loo complete to allow
of such a thing; but if he had been sixty
years old, her manner could not have been
more utterly devoid-of any womanly coquet-
ry. The quick faculty she had for bright-
ening and lighting up brilliantly far other
people, and which was her chief charm,
ncvcr showed itself to him.
Among the many people who liked and
admired her, there was one person for whom
she seemed to care more than for the rest,
and that person was Laura Dacre. With a
school-girl’s enthusiastic love of beauty,
Laura had adored Cccil from the first, and
in observing the girl's affectionate fashion
of making her idol. the confidante of her
fancies, John Manners had noticed that Ce-
cil had a wonderfully tender way of treat-
ingher. It was something affectionate and
girlish of itself, and in someway it pleased
him. She would dress as Laura wished her,
arrange her hair as Laura liked itbest, wear
lhc very gloves that Laura. proposed, but at
the same time the girl’s faith and reliance in
her were unbounded.
. .. Now, he was not a sentimental man, this
John of ours; he had never been a suscep—
tible one; he had cared little for women:
he was a man of wealth and leisure, and
loved science, if he loved anything, and
hence it was that so much of his time was
spent in his library; and yet, before a mouth
beautiful girl."

self. N c effort of hers had done if, no
trifling grace of manner had ever been as-
sumed for him, and yet he was as complete-
ly entangled as any of the men she smiled
upon, and softened her subtle voice to.
Perhaps dashing Fred Dacre was the true
cause of the awakening, for, being a gay,
susceptible young fellow, he stood the first
on the list of Cecil’s admirers; and us it
was a cherished scheme of Laura’s that her
brother should be successfhl, it came about
that when there were cream-colored notes
to be carried, or bouquets to be sent, Fred
usually cnnlered up the road on his hand-
some brown horse, and played messenger.
Fred, indeed, was only one of1he many who
followed her, and praised her; but it seem-
ed as though she favored him more than the
rest.
This was hard for John Manners. The
contrast between the face that met Fred
Dacrcand the face that met him, was too
great for a man’s pride to bear, and as ho
was but a man, after all,his pride slunghim
to rebellion.
It was one of Fred Dacre’s numerous visits
that this occurred. There was going to be
'a ball at the Dacres, to celebrate Frederick’s
coming of agc,'aad as Laura was deeply in-
terested in the decorations, of course she rc-
licd upon Cecil for assistance; and so the
brown horse had canlcred to the Manners’
with a note full of eager questions. But
the visit was ended at last, and the slim,
cream-tinted envelope, which contained the
answer, was being carried back in cit so
proximity to Frederick’s heart, otherwise
in his vest pocket; and Miss Dacrc came
back to her evergreens with' the shadow of
a smile on her red-lippcgi mouth, brought
there, perhaps, by her admirer’s adieu.
She looked very girlish and charming
with the soft, scarlet shawl trailing from
her graceful shoulders over her gay robe,
and contrasting so artistically with her

lay curled up on the lounge, and began to
touch him with‘her careless white hand,
that shadow of a smile still on her lips,
John Manners was (lisnrmcd. If there to return a book I had borrowed from your John, who had been pacing the room rest-

“ No,” she said, coolly- That was all.”
He came to her side, and looked down at

She looked up then, and the shadow of a
smile changed into the shadow of something
which might have been triumph. Was it

ment, and I spoke honestly to you the first
day we met. I determined I would not be

She raised her face and looked at him as
she said this, and then he understood her,
for the shadow of triumph was a shadow
no longer, it was a triumph itself— a tri-
umph ullgenerous enough, heaven knows :
but, alas! for poor human nature l natural
enough, too, and his recognition of it stung
him to the quick.
The sting of her cool immobility made
him as steady as she was herself. It roused
his pride. He took one step, nearer to her,
and met her gaze steadily for a moment.
“ Do I understand you I" he asked of her.
She merely bent her head.
“ Thank you," he said, concisely. “ I
have been very foolish, it appears, but I
am still a man, and man enough to bear
evenlhis, I think." And then he turned on
his heel and walked out of the room.
They drifled a little further apart after
this, and though her hosts manner did not
change in its stately courtesy, it is possible
that Miss Dare grew a little restless. Per-
haps the consciousness that her triumph
had not been so complete, after all, and was
not a very noble one, troubled her slightly; -
for, to Miss Anne's surprise, she began to
speak of relorning to New York, and
inquired more frequently and anxiously
about the business letters which come now
and then from her lawyer,- and which were
to announce the final “ settling” of her
affairs. But all things must reach a climax,
all love stories, more especially; and so in
this case the story reached its climax, and
it was one of these unpretending legal let-
lers which gave it the final turn. _ w, 7
