HENRY W. LONGFILLOW.
“Hndst thou stayed, I must have fled l"
That is what the Vision said.
In his chamber all alone.
Kneeling on the floor of stone,
Prayed the monk in deep contrition
For his sins of indecision, ‘ ‘
Prayed for greater selLdenlal,
In temptation and in trial;
It was noonday by the dial,
And the Monk was all alone.
\
Suddenly, as if it lightened,
An unwonted splendor brightened
All within him and without him
In that narrow cell of stone;
And he saw the Blessed Vision
pr our Lord, with light Elysian
Like a vesture wrapped about him,
Like a garment round him thrown.
. Not as crucified and slain,
Not'in agonies of pain,
Not with bleeding hands and feet,
Did the monk his Master see;
But as in the village street,
In the house of,harvept field.
Halt and lame and blind he heal'ed,‘
When he walked in Galilee.
'
In an attitude implorihg,
Hands upon his bosom crbssed.
Wondering, worshipping, adoring.
Knelt the Monk in rapture lbst,
Lord, he thought, in heaven that relgnest,
Who am I, that this idiot delgnest
To reveal thyself to me?
Who am I, that from the centre
or thy glory, thou shouldst enter
This poor cell, my guest?
Then amid his exaltatlon, _
Load the convent bell appalling,
From its belfry calling, calling,
Rang through courtand corridor, '
. With persistant iteration,
He had never heard before.
.It was now the appointed hour
When alike, in shine or shower,
Winter’s cold or summer’s heat,
To the convent portals came. "
Allthe blind and halt and lame. -
All the beggars of the street,
, For-their daily dole of food
Dealt them by the brotherhood;
And their almoner was he

Belle Bisb bad
week when {
because our chaperone failed as ; and now
with midsummer close at hand, the cit
hcat growing 'intolerable, and my irun
already packed for a start, I was left abso-
lutely aimless, nowhere to go. So I wrote
to Belle, and in two days ha her answer.
“ Do come down here with me,” she
wrote ; “its desperately lonely, and I’m
dying for the sight of a friend. Therc‘is
actually nothing to do, and no one to speak
to; so you can imagine my state of mind.
Otherwise the air is lovely, the scenery per-_
feet. and it isa funny little old bumdrum
village. Just such as you like. I’vespoken
to Aunt Em about it, and she wants you to
come ; so hurry, do, and you need not bring
any fine dresses; for you won’t wear them.
, I just keep in my camisole from morning
till night, and hum ‘Ah, non guz’mo,’ and
stare at tbs roses. Icat bread and milk,
and go to bed or, half-past eight. Just the
thing for you. There, dear, so come and
get recruited. t .
I decided that I should like it; so rc-
packed my trunk, putting in fewer dresses
and more books, thinking Belle and‘I could
read to each other under the trees; and just
a week from the date of' her letter the old
yello'w stage-coach left me at the farm house
gate. It was a great, comfortable-looking
house, painted red; with butternut trees in
‘ front, and lilac and rose bushes.
And there was Belle running down the
path to meet me, while a handsome. stal-
wart young man stood on the door looking
after her. Camisoles and simplicity, indeed !
Bell’s hair .was crimpcd and puffed three
inches high, and she. had, on her white
alpaca and lurquises. Belle was a blonde,
and she always looked prettiest in white
and blue. Sbc kissed me on both.chceks,
and then danced ‘a’ little wallz ahead of me.
as I walked up the path with my travelling
brig. A moment more and she introduced
“ r. Brooks ” to me. . '
“ My new friend, Phene. Latest but not
least l” she said with a coquettish air; and
the gentleman bowing made a few pleasant
remarks about my journey, then,‘with the
excuse that he was sure we would wish to
be alone together, he bade us good after-'
noon and departed. ~ ‘ .
I caught Belle’s hands andmade her look
strhiaht in my e es. .
“ What mischief are you in now, dear ‘9”
I asked. , .
“ Oh, don’t pinch I” she cried, laughing,
“ don’t you‘think he’s nice ? I call _him my
been gone from the city a
had my disappointment about
Cape May. There was quite a party of us
who were going, but it was all broken up,
mother sat. But Belle and I went up into
our own room, took down ourhair, and bad
a comfortable talk.
“ “I like your Cousin Sarah, Belle," I said,
she .15 such a harmonious person ; she
don’t Jar on any onc’s feelings? '
“ Oh, _no, of course not,” said Belle ;
“Sarah 15 a good little thing, and I have
quite an affection for her. But she isigra .
'Do you know what I mean ? - Some pcop e
seem gray all the way through—all a mon-
‘ olorle on a minor key—no warmth, no
sparkle'ln them; nothing to take hold of.
Sarah 19 that way; I never think about
Sarah—there isn’t anything to think about
in her.” ' -
And Belle, with her shining blue eyes, and
hair rippling in waves ' all down her
shoulders, sprang up and danced about the
room like a bewitchcd Undine.
“I feel so full of life i” she exclaimed,
stopping breathless, her cheeks rosy-red.
“And I’m tired, dear; I’m going to bed,”
Ircplled, feeling more and more the alter-
iatlguc'of travelling. _
_ The next day was lovel , but I felt still
tired and had a headache; It seemed to me"
that to ride on a. strange -horse that day
would be intolerable, and I told Belle, I
would. stay at home if she did not mind.
“ “No, dear, I don’t mind,” she said, gayly,
Corydon and I can have a good time all'
by ourselves.” is
Corydon came riding up to the gate
presently, leading a lady’s horse by the
bridle, Belle ritn out to greet him, then flew
up stnlrs to put on her pretty blue riding
habit. .
“But where are the other horses i” asked
Mr. Breaks, lookin surprised.
. “Oh, Sarah and are not going,” I said.~
“Shellac to watch the bees, and I am not
well enough to ride to—day, so I shall keep
her company.” . '
Mr. Brooks actually hit his'lip, and look:
cd glémmy. -
“ hy hene Bennett," I thought to my-
self, “have you made a conquest already ?
It can’t be the man’s disappointed because
.Iamglot going}? In the instant another
Ideaisiruck me, and I looked around for
Sarah, but she was up stairs making beds.
She came to the window when Belle was
ready to mount. ‘ Mr. Brook’s scarcely
noticed her, but assisted Belle with the
greatest care, paid her a compliment on the
way she held the reins in her tiny, gaunt-
lcted bands, and then away they rode,
Bella’s merry laugh floatingback on the
air. . '
_ I went up to our room and tried to read a
little, but the scent of the roses an‘d'of new;

And-have'turned away with loathing.
Thus his conscience put the question.

about her Alderneys and her current jelly,
'and Sarah, with a preoccupied air, said she
was glad the new hives had been sent up
from the store that afteilloon. I liked Sarah,
she looked so gentle, so little self-asserting;
it seemed as if she had grown up in her way

I pulled a sprig of hearts ease and went
back to Sarah. '
“What makes you have to watch the bees
all the time ‘2” I asked. .
“They are justrgndy to swarm,” she said
in a ionelhat showed her interest, “and we
have to watch where the go to, or we may
lose them. They might y to the woods or
to some other farm.” ' '
“Pretty little brown things, aren’t they ?”
I said after observing them a moment. ‘
“Yes. indeed. Brown all dusted with.

creatures. I almost feel as if I knew them
apart, and I have names for some of them.

Now, then, if they are such asyou'de-

do they not go home and attend to thetyr
business? Suppose‘you go to a. court house
and ask why the lawyers do not go‘home
and attend to their business? You will. be
told that the lawyer is about the court be-
cause many persons have business there
who cannot attend to it themselves. Next, ‘
he is there because he is better informed in
the cases entrysted to him than the _ ad 8

he is there to argue and influence. Now
this is the exact case with the lobby mein-

CONNECTICUT.
Connecticut, more‘than fifty years ago, in
her God-defying law of divorce, set an ex-
ample, whicb, to the great grief of all good
men, has since been imitated by several of
.our Wesiern States. The following epigram,
altered from‘ one published some years ,
since, is sent ~ibr insertion in the N. Y. 0b:
sercor: ' ' ' ’ -
For cutting God’s connections mined
I Connecticut is rightly named.
" I twain connect,” say'sGod “but you -
. Cut those whom I connect in two.
Your legislature dares to say,
What yen Connecticut away."
BULLS-THAT ARE NOT mrsu. .
Whenever the paiemity of a bull is un-
certain an‘ attempt is made to father it on
some unfortunate Emeralder. Yet it was a
Scotch woman who said that the butcher of
her town only killed half a beast atla time;
- it was a‘Dutcbman who said}: pig had no
ear-marks except a short tail; and it was a
British magistrate who, being told by a
vagabond that he was not married, re-
sponded, “That’s a good thing for your
with.” It was an English reporter who
statedtbat at a meeting of the British
Ethnological Society there wefe exhibited
“casts of the skull of an individual at dif-
ferent periods of adult life, to show the
changes produced in ten years,” though
Dean Swift mentions two skulls preserved
in Ireland, one of a. person, when he was a
boy, and the other of the same person
when he had grown to be a man. It was a
Portuguese mayor who enumerated among
the marks by which the body of a drowned
man might be identified when found, “a
marked impediment in his speech." It was
the famous Ct'llino, the French Boyle Roche,
who, on contentedly laying his head on a
large stone jar for a pillow, replied to one
who inquired if it was not rather hard,
“Not at all, for I‘ve stuffed it with buy.”
It was an American lecturer Who solemnly
said one evening: “Parents, you may have
children, or, if you have not, your daugh-
ters may have.” It was a Western orator
who, warming with his subject, exclaimed,
“There is nota man, woman or child in
the‘_ house who has arrived at the age of
fifty years but what has felt thistrutb
thundering through their minds for centu~
we.” It was a Maine editor who said that
a pumpkin in that State grew so large that
eight men could stand around it—a state-
ment which is only equaled by that of an-
other who saw a flock of pigeons fly so low
that he could shake a slick at them.
. The Dictator and other large government
iron-clads are expected to be laid up at New
London. '

Brooks, Belle ‘2" I asked, as I fastened a pink
“Why, you know I wrote you there was
nobody here to speak to,” she- answered
gayly; “and I felt like wasted sweetness,
and so lonesome. ,And wasn’t it queer, be
came to call on Aunt Em the very day after
I sent my letter i I suppose he heard some-
how of my being here: He was away on
business all the week before, so couldn’t‘
come- sooner, he said. And now he has
been here four times, and I think he’s splen-
did. He isn’t very easy to flirt with, be-
cause he’s so honest, I suppose; but I mean
to have him dead in love with me before I
go home.” - ‘ -
“And what then I” I asked. .“I should
think you’d be tired of getting yourself into
scrapes, Belle.” ‘ '
She began to sing, “Oh, I. won’t be a
nun,” and we sat in the door locking down
. the path.
What a dear old-fashioned place it was ‘!
A “live-forever” grew one side of the steps,
and a bush of southern-wood the other.
There were cinnamon roses and damask
roses along the fence, and the clever grew
rich and deep all over the yard.
“He’s coming,” whispered Belle, and Mr.
Brooks walked rapidly down the road, ap-
arently with no intention :of stopping, till
elle called and asked him if he wasn’t
'coming in. ~‘
“I was going to the village ; but this is
pleasanter,” be said, open' the little gate
and coming up to us. “ iss Bennett,I
hope you are pleased with your first ailer-
noon here. How are your aunt and cousin,
Miss Risley? I have not seen them to-day.”
“Oh,tbey are out in the kitchen,” said
Belle, raisin , her smiling blue eyes to his.
“Isn’tit love y here at this Hour, Mr. Brooks ?
Every day after tea I come here to watch
for the evening-star. Sec, there it is now,
{‘ulst? over those clouds. Isn’t Venus beauti.
u ’ r . ' ‘ ‘
Mr. Broo seemed to think that Venus
was beaut Land sitting down by us he
appeared quite ready to join to Belle’s
lively chatter and quick repartees. But it
occurred to me that he was not quite so
susceptible as Belle thought.
“Some of Sarah’s honey-b
At that moment Sarah herself came through
the narrow entry, and sat down among us
,with her knitting. She. was a quiet bit of
background for Belle’s brilliancy ; only,
when any of us said anything witty she
lau bed as if,she enjoyed it. ,
Tghe sun went down, and "the moonlight
came instead, shimng white on the silver,
elms and willows. , - '
' “I am oing,” said Mr. Brooks, and. he
rose. “ but do you say to a ride .On horse-
back, lo-morrow, young ladies.” Don’t ou
think'your cousins would like it, Sarah ”
“Yes, indeed," she said ; and it is such a
pleasant road to the cliff. Belle has not
scentbe cliff et.” ,
“Very wel ,” he replied; “I know your
two horses aregoed under the saddle, and I
will bring my rownic for the third. You
had better take Brownie, Sarah ; lie is used
to you. And now I really must hasten
away. Good night all.”
And off he wen
the house. ‘
“H id not give me time to answer,”
said ab, in her quiet way; but lhave
no idea that I shall be able to go with you
to-morrow. And you shall ride Brdwnio,
Belle ; he is just the horse for you.”
“You’re a good, amiable little thing,
COusin Sade l” exclaimed Belle. joyously.
“That is just whntl wanted. Oh, how I
shall en'oy riding With my handsome Cory-
don I romisc not to interfere, Phene.".
Sarah gathered up her work silently, and
went into the keeping-room, where her

“Oh, no,“ she said,~smiling. “Just think
how much you can get from every place
you to. went on a journey once to
the untains; and I remember every
height, every‘tree and cloud; and the very
roads-we went by, and the people we met,
such different characters? I felt rich when.
Icame home, with so much put safely away
in In life to think of.” .
“ ou’re a regular bee yourself,” I said, as
I watched some of the ‘ttle winged thin 3
flying home with the honey they had got -
cred far away. , ,
“My flights are almost always like Dot’s,
then,’ she said; and her contented look
struck me more forcibly that ever. “He
always oes to the nearest flowers. But
honey is oney wherever we get it.”
And this is one of Bell’s gray people i I
thought, with no sparkle, nothing in‘her
character to take hold of. Why, she is as
good reading as one of Aucrbach’s ro-
mances l ' .
“My headache is all gone,” I said. “It is
a great deal nicer to be sitting here by ihtI
bee-hives than riding under the hot sun with
Belle and Mr. Brooks. I don’t like entle—
men very well; do you ? I thin love

“Why 11 - I think love is the most beau-
tiful thing
at the same time the color rose in her'face,
and she looked slightly uneasy. ,
One of; Bellc’s old maids l I thought
again; and she sits here thinking love the
most. beautiful thing in life i .
While we were talking the bum and buzz
of the bees increased rapidi , and there
seemed to be a perfect cloudo , them issuing
from one of the hives, and hovering over it.
Some of them flew so near their wings
almost brushed my cheek, and I started.
“They’re swarming,” said Sarah, in a low,
excited voice. “Don’t move quick or act
frightened ; they won’t hurt you. Oh, I.
hOpe the will settle in our own yard some-
where. Last summer one swarm went a
mile off.”
There was a clutter of
the road. »
Belle and Mr. Brooks,” I ex-
, horse’s bools down
“There are
claimed. . .
Sarah had risen and stood .wrih one band
resting on a low limb of the apple tree,
wbil she looked first at the bees, and then
at Be is in her pretty blue habit, springing
to the ground.
Belle saw’us, and came running round
the house with her little whip in her hand,
while Mr. Br60ks fastened the horses.
. “Oh, we had such a splendid ride,” -sbe
exclaimed. “But, mercy, how these bees
act l Do come away ; you’ll get stung.”
“Oh, no, Belle; they won’t touch you if
you keep still,” said Sarah. “Wercn
pleased with the cliff ? It is so fine in sum-
mer, with the laurels and rhododendrons all
in bloom.” ‘ .
“Bees swarming, ch ‘5’" asked Mr: Brooks,
joining us ; “I’ll hive them for you if they
settle soon, Sarah.” . . . ,
“Oh, thank you,” she said; “I was Just
going in to blow the born for James ; be is
down in the meadow lot. But if you Will do
it, Hugh, you had better ask molhcrright
away for the gloves.” . \
The flying‘and buzzing grew so formida-
ble that I was alarmed : they seemed to
darken the very air before my eyes.
“Go away, you wr'etch I" cried Belle,
striking with her whip ; “Oh, oh I I am
slung! oh, they are killing me I” _ - .
“Sarah, Sarah,” screamed Aunt Em from
the window ; “don‘t you slirhand nor foot;
they’re settling on your arm 1 Belle, run
in here as fast as ever you can, andl’ll put
some saleratus water on those stings.”
vs
life I” she said earnestly; but a
t you -
poration‘ employs a man to give his time
and attention in that direction, to give them
the earliest information, and to deviSe and
assist them. This makes that man a lobby
man, the same as the lawyer becomes a mem-
ber of the bar. It is prOper that the road
should employ him, and that he should per-
fOrm the office. A lobby man is not, then, in
a bad business above other men; andhe'will
take care .to be well informed and to main-
tain agood character. We know it to. he a
fact, that the best men in legislative bodies
find the ., lobby members valuable for the
ready information they can impart; and
where a. lobbyist resorts to tricks or mis-
representation, he at 'once lpses caste and is
retired. - _
Constituted as our legislatures are of
many persons uninformed and unaccustom-
ed to the dudes, the lobby is an indispensa-
ble institution; If we‘shonld elect the'wis-
est and best men and keep them in oillcc for
long terms, the lobby would have little to
do; but; so lang- as we confer seats in the
legislature as reward for political service,
and change the incumbents every year or
two, the lobby isa necessity and an ower,
and the attacks of the press ,will all to
weaken it. If there is a fault to complain
of it is of the people, who permit them-
selves to be made the slaves of the caucus
and fill three-quarters of our public offices
with empty heads or dOugh heads. One-
balf of a legislature never know an ing,
more than they hear of daily'meetln'g,-the
place where they are to hang their hats and
overcoats, and the number of their seats.
There are two important things they do;
hold up their right hands when they are
sworn in, and Ftretchout their right ands
at the clo§c o the session to receive their
pay. With such representatives and sen-
atbrsi, the people who have_ business .bei‘Ore'
lire' legislatures areobliged to employ agents
and so maintain the. lobby. The reform
should begin in the elections, in securingza
better class of men. ~ » -
