BY ED‘VIN COLLIER.

 

Enjoy’d your dinnci, have you, myiboy. 9 Well,
come, that’s jolly, you know.

Though I wish that Bessie had been here too—
she’s longing to see you so.

So his seven years since you went away, and I
have been married five:

What! you thought I “hadn’t the cheek” to pro-
pose to a girl P Why, man alive,

’Tis the strangest, most delightful thing that everI
happen’d, you see:

I didn’t "pop the question” at all. ’Twas Bessie
proposed to me! ‘

Here, Edie and Sid, you may run ofi‘ now, and have
a game 0’ play ,

Come, you know what momma was to bring you
home, if you be good children to-dayIV: ‘ '

1 our uncle and I have a lot 0’ thth that we
‘11 ant to talk about;

And you shall come in again, my deals, when
we’ve had our gossip out.

And now for my tale—though I hardly know what
Bessie would say if she knew—

By Jove, how she’ll open her eyes when she comes
to be introduced to you!

As I told you, she’s spending the day with a friend
—her cousin, by the bye—

Wllo’s just been obeying the old command, to in
crease and multiply.

Well, you know what our prospects were, old man
—-our mother’s and Kate’s, and mine—

When yell bade us good-bye to go to sea ill the
navy-doctoriug line:

With the mother's pension and jointurc, you know,
she was pretty well ofi‘, and then .

We thought I was sure to make my mark, what
with the bar and the pen..

I remember when you laugh‘d at my rhymes, you
unbelieving Jew,

And used to rout me out from my books to go and
idle -with you;

But the motherVVand Kate believed in me, as our
foolish women-folks will,

A lid Bessie dubb’d me her laureate, and knight of
the gray goose-quill.

Y on know what Bessie was as a child,” in the dear
old bygone days,

With her big brown eyes and golden head and her
pretty willful ways;

How she plagued, and charm’d, and) quceu’d it
o’er us youngsters oil; and oft,—

Yet what a dear little heart it was, how clinging,
and tender, and soft ! V

Her brother Willis andec‘rofV'old particulars,”

So thptharillyodaywunldpasaawsybutlfound -

myself, you see,
In the quaint old garden with Bessie and Will, and
who so happy as we ? V

Heigho! they were pleasant times, old alan—
fresh and hopeful, and true,

Ere the foot of Time had trampled and soil’d the
sheen of life’s morning dew 1

When I Ilink of the :e walks and pranks what
tender memorie- 1ise,

With Bessie the cent .. 1- figure of all,’with her mer-
ry, mischievon yes 1

Well, I went to Heid .:11erg, as you know, to finish
my. school career,

I n the quaint old home of spectacled lore, meets-
chaums, and lager beer;

And when I came back, my child-playmate had
vanish’d, and in her place

Was a fair girl-woman, shy and sweet, with a gen-
tle, w insome face.

And I loved her, I loved her—God knows how
well l—fi'om her first shy welcoming glance,

With a passionas strong, and tender. and pure, as
the love of old Romance ,

And she ?—she was always ple aeant and kind with
them thatchildhoodsus-‘-"’

1... winning-51V?” 1.1111, ,‘e‘ei ‘
that! I could say.

 
 

they’d look so conscious and shy,

That we used to tease and banter them both, his
sister Bessie and I;

And when they’d: begin to whisper and sigh, I
couldn't do less, you’ll own,

Then draw sweet-Bessie away with me, and leave
the lovers alone.

n

we _m_ ammo one summer's eve—how
Well I remember it still 1—-

Aud somehow we two had wander'd away from

love-lorn Katie and Will,

Till we came: in file dusk toIah'e lone black mere,
where the aspen branched wave,

And she eoaxV’d me to tell her its legend grim ofV a
love beyond the grave.

Then I look’d down into her soft brown eyes: with
their witching and lus trons spell,

And I whisper’d, “Dear, I’ve another tale that I
should like to tell I” V V

When we heard a merry shout from behind, and up

. came Willie and Kate,

And the loving words died out on my lips, and I

knerE. my story must wait.

But she seem’d from that very time to grow more
shy and distant, you see ,

I never could meet her out alone, or tempt her Vto
walk with me ,

And when I tried to draw her aside to whisper a
loving word

She’d flush and tremble, and flutter away, like a
pretty frighten’d bird. .

I saw she shunn’d me, and said to myself, with a
proud and passionate three,

“She loves me not, and would spare us both the
pain of telling me so;

And I’d rather, God knows, that my heart shopld
break, in its silence bitter and drear,

Than I’d pester awomnn with whispers and vows
that she doesn’t care to hear 1”

So I put away all my hopes of love, and settled

gloomily down

To the dreary study of the law, in my chambers
up in town' , -

I left the lover’s tender ROLE for the sterner
Boman’s part,

And thought to live my passion down, and root it;
ontofmyheart. ‘ ‘ _ , .

But in vain, in vain; for while my eyes were bent
on the musty page,

My truant thoughts would wander away to the
pleasant parsonage,

And in fancy I’d see her Winsome face—too win-
some and fair to tell—

With the soft, shy Iookin 1111.11.11.11. eyes that I
knew too well1 too 3W0“!

Yet I kept to my work with a dogged heart that
naught uld conquer or tame' , '

“Since love is denied me," I bitterly said, "I’ll
make myself a name. ”

I was up with the first faintatreak of dawn, with
pallid and haggard looks,

And midnight found me with aching head sitll
bending over my books.

And you know the end l—how a mist would clog my
bloodshot waking eyes,

And circles quiver about the lights in dazzling
rainbow dyes .

Then a strange dim blur of letters and lines, and
then—all darkness there l

And a poor blind man upon his knees, in an agony

‘ of. pray ‘ . .

By the pleasant warmlh and the scent o’ the
flowers I knew it was leafy J une—

Kate came and coax’d me to take her arm, and

walk out with her, to call

At the rectory-house, or our friends would think

I’d quite forgotten them all.

And Bessie was therel I could see her winsome,
w clcomeV face,
But the v cry sense of her presence seem’d to glo-
rify the place:

lovers understand,
At the gentle sound of her pitying voice, and the
touch of her dainty hand i

We satin the quaint oak parlor—ah, how well I

knew it of old 1—
And the good old 'rector prosed away about his
church and his fold,
The parish schools. Vand the state of the roads, and
the probable price of hay, '
Till Bessie at last jump’d up from her chair, ln her
old impulsive way.
“Come, tho’s for my summer-house ?” she said;-
“for it is so hot in here i
What! none of you speak 1’ Then Charlie here
shall be my cavalier.
Mamma dear, where' is that magazine ? 0, here it
is, I see:
I want to read him the poem, y ou know,. that so
' delighted me l” .

Then she took arm and led me out, with a'
tender sister y care,

To the dear old garden, so dark to me, to her so
blooming and fair,

Till we came to the arbor, the scene of some of my
. happiest hours (1’ life,

Ere I’d put from my heart its crowning hope of
calling her my wife.

’Twas Tennyson’s last new poem she read, and it
may have been very fine,

could hardly follow a line ;

And at last she gave it up with a sigh, and laid the
' » book away: 1

“I think it must be the heat,” she said, “but I can-
not read to-day l”

Then there came a pause—a dreamy pause—wk on
-in fancy I could see

pity for me: 0
Then she laid her dainty hand on mineVV—her hand
that trembled so!

And the tears were in her tender voice as she
whisper’d Soft and low:

We sat far into that happy night, I and dear old
Will-—

Ah, the rose-like spell of those rich deep hours Is a

And we talk’d of the dear ones down at home, and
the story we had to tell, ‘

VAnd the wondrous love of the Master above, who
"doeth all things w ell.”

We spoke ochssie again and again, and always

And how. as I trod on the threshold here, my heart

And how I had nearly told her all in a' burst 0’

loving clasp and kiss.

With vane the younger, in counsel szeei
He had sat at Anna HulchiusoVil' s feet,
And, when the bolt 01' banishment fell
0n the head of his Vsaintly oracle, V .
He had shared her 111 as her good repert,
And braved the wrath of the General Court

t .

He shock 11 om his feet as he rode away
The dust of the MasSachuVs'Vet'lsV B‘ay. ’ V
The a mid might bless and the world might
ban,

What did it mailer the perfect man,

To whom the freedom of earth was given,
Prof against sin, and sure of heaven ?

He cheered his heart ashe rode along ,, .
With screed of Scripture and holy song, . V3

01' thought how he'rode with his lsncenfrse
By the Lower Rhine ancbthe Zuyder Zoe, .
Till his wood-path grew to a lrodden me,

He saw the church with the block h‘ouse high
The two fair givers, the flakes thereby,
And, tacking to windward, low and crank
The little shallop from Strawberry Bank,
And he rose in his stirrups and looked
abroad

Over land and w alcr, and praised the Lord‘

Goodly and stately and grave to see,
Into the clearing’s space rode be.
With the sun on- the hilt of his sword in
sheath,

And his "silver buckles and spurs beneath,
And the settlers welcomed him one and all
From swift Quampeagnn to Gonic Fall.

And he said to the elders: ‘V‘Lo, I come

As the way seemed open to Vseek a home.
Someu hat the Lord hath wrought by my
hands

In the Narragansett and Netherlands.

And ifhei'e ye have work fora Christian man
I will tarry, and serve ye as best I can.

It

I boast not of gifts, but fain would own
The wonderful favor God hath shown.

The special mercy vouehsafed one day

On the shore of Narragansett Bay.

As I sat, with my mm, from the camp aside
And mused like Isaac at even tide.

“A sudden sweetness of peace I found,

A gament of gladness wrapped me round;
I felt from the law of works released,

The strife of the flesh and spirit ceased.

My faith to a full assurance grew .

And all I had hoped for myselfI knew.

“Now, as God appointelh,I keep my way:
shall not stumble, I shall not stray; V
He hath taken away my fig-leaf dress,

wear the lobe of His righteousness ,

And thc shafts of salsa no more avail

HH

VThan Pequot arrows on Christian mail.”

“Ta-rl'y with us,” the settlers cried,

-“Thou man of God,- as our ruler and guide.”

And Capt. Underhill bowed his head.-
The will of the Lord be done l" he said.
And the marrow beheld him sitting down

. In the mlcr’s 'seat in Cocbeco town.

And he judged therein as a just man should 1'
His words were wise and. his rule wa’s‘good .
He coveted not his neighbor's land,-

From the holding of bribes he shook his

hand;
And through the camps of the heathen ran
A wholesome fear of the valiant man.

But the heart is deceitful, the geodV Book
saith,

And his hath ever a savor of death.
Through hyms of triumph the ter‘nptcr calls?
And whose thinketh he standeth falls. '
Alas. l ere their round the seasons ran,
There was grief‘ in the soul of the sVainllyV
man.

-'V.‘.

The tempter’ s arrows that rarely-fail

Had found the joints of his spiritual Vinaili
And men took note of his gloomy air,

The shame" in his eye, the halt' 1n his prayer,
The signs of a battle lost within,

The pain of a. soul in the coils of sin. . :-

Thcn-n whisper of scandal linked his home
With broken vows and a life of blame ,
And the people looked askauce on him -

As he walked among them sullen and grill,
“ “‘ hitter of word,

None knew how,wViih prayerandfasting still,

But he shook himself like Selnpsbn at
length, .
IAnd girded 111.111.1111 101115 or 51111111111,“ V
And bade the cries go up and down V
And call together the wondering town, V V V,

And prompt of

Jeer and manner :1an shaking of head - --"
Ceased as heVrose in his place and 111s:
“Men. brethren, and fathers, wéll ye know
How I came among you a year ago,
Strong in the faith that my soul was freed"
From sin of feeling or thought, or deed.

“I have sinned. I own it, with grief and
shame,

But not with a lie on my lips I came,.V .
In my blindness Lverily thought my heartV
Swept and garnished in every part .‘1 '

The trust you gave me, and go my way.

Watch and pray, lest ye also fall. " .

No voice made answer, but from the clerk!

Was his car at fault that blV-ook and breeze

What was it the noumful wood-thrush said!
What whispered the pine~trses overhead ?
Did he hear the voice on his lonely my
That Adam heard in the cool of the day.

Alone wilh the Infinite Purity; ..-

And, bowing his soul to its tender rebuke,
As Peter did to the Master a 100k,
