Hold closer still,ntyhand, dear love,
Nor fear it!” touch will soil thine own;
No palm is cleaner now than this,
SO free from earth-stain has is grown
Since last you held it clasped so close,
And with it held my life and heart,
For my heart best but in your smlll',
And life was Death, we two apart.
I loved you so. And youl Ah, well!
I have no word or thought of blame ;
And even now my voice growslow
And tender, whispering your name,
You gaged my love by yours; that’s all,
I do not think you understood:
There is a point you men can’t reach,
Up the white heights of womanhood.
You love us,—so at least you say,
With many a tender smile and word;
You kiss us close on mouth and brow,
Till all our heart within is stlrred:
And having, like you, you see,
No other interests at stake,
We give our best, and count that Death
Is blessed when sufl'ered for 'your sake.

“Badly as his brother behaved, it must be
an awful reflection for him thathe was the

der.

better,” Mrs. Bronlowreplied. “Jilting one
man and marrying another for his money
was not the worse tbiug she did by a Jong
way.”
.I asked her if Mr. Tilsley was married.
"Gracious, no 1" she said. “Why he hates
the very sight of a woman, poor fellow 1”
Mr. Tilsley came on Saturday for his pic-
ture of Tangle Island, and found fault with
it.
“What do you mean,” he growled, “by
putting in that boat with a crimson cush-
ion f It wasn’t in the sketch.’.
‘Mary explained that amidst so much
"greenshe required a bit of contrasting color ‘
to lighten it up. ' ' 7 "I ' ,
“I-don’t care,” he persisted. “I won’t have
it. It is not true. I want the place as it
was that day. This thing is not like my
oat, or your boat or any other boat that ever
oated. Besides, it gives the idea that some
one is there. I hate any one to be there. I
want the place as I like it-desolate.”
Mary agreed to paint out the offensive in-
cident, and set about doing so, as he desired.
I don't think she wanted him to come again.
When it was done he gave another growl,
and said; . , ,
“You’re right. "It does want color."
“You have had your own way, Sir.” she
replied. “I shall not alter it again.”
“Will you do me another one of the other
side l" ‘
“I would rathernot.” .
“Why ,”
“I am not accustomed to be dictated to as
to what I put in my drawings. I do ‘my
best. If that is not good enough, they can
be left alone.” ,
' “I won’t dictate. “ You may anchor Noah’s
ark there if you like.”
“With the portrait of the Bear enjoying
the scene,” she added, with a malicious
smile. ' .
For a moment he looked puzzled, and then
catching her eyes, which were full of fun,
burst out into a laugh.
“Thank you for that,” he said. “It’s the

One Saturday afternoon, when I was
nominally well, but wof’uliy weak and
spent, Sam Payne, one of my brother clerks,
and a very good fellow in his :way, came
and proposed to g'ive'us a row on the river.
It would freshen me up albit, he said. So

she steering, and I stowed away as comfor-
table as they could manage in the stern-
,sheets. It did freshen me up, and pleasant
it was at first, but there was no support for
my poor back, and I got tired. Mary, who
reads me like a book, found this out, and
proposed that Sam should land as where

I don’t know why we did not admit that

Early in the next week—I think it was on
Tuesday‘—'-Mrs. Bronlow (of the library)
dropped in to tea, as she, often did, and
logs deposited with her for sale had been

chaser, as described by Mrs. Bro'nlow, was
“a party in black, looked like a clergyman.”
Then we began'to talk about things in gen-
if she knew Mr. Tils-
ley of Mas-den; - ' -
“Know him i" she said. “Lord bless you,
‘The channel is not so shallow as you my dear, we’ve played together times and .

squire never spoke to him again any way
for the next morning Master John was gone.
But before he went (as we found out after?

would help him with Fanny Allen—receive
letters for her, keep up her heart about him,
and all that. Master Will was very fond of
his brother; stood up for him to their fa-

of scrapes. Will swore he would do all he
asked, and off went John to Australia, trust-
ing him. Well, if you’ll behave me, that
sneak of, a Will went and made love to Fan-
ny”. on his own account, and married her!
And there was John working away, making
a fortune, and writing her long letters every
month (which were never delivered), telling
her how he was getting on, and that he
would soon be back to. make her his wife.

that we were to go to Tangle Island as much
talked of the “Bear ;” but Mary would not
make any more drawings of the place. Once
when I proposed we should take a cold din-
ner there and spend the day, she replied,
quite sharply, that I ought to be ashamed‘of
myself for not respecting his feelings—refer-
ring, of course, to Brain’s denunciation of
picnickers. . I' could not quite understand
this, as Mary was hard upon him in many
respects, when we were speculating what
had become of him and what he was doing.
I suppose that sometime in every boy’s life
he has considered persons of the Giaour,
Werner, and “Stranger” stamp as heroes.
Mary only thought them “great big sulkies,”
and had “no patience” with John Tilsley as
You have. You have robbed me of my longs to old Tilsley,'and he’d have -prose- agreat big sulky’too.
She would make no more sketches Of Tan-
gle Island; but drew from an inexhaustible
supply of studies-grasses, ferns, wild flow-
ers, water-weeds, and what not—for her
drawings. She dried and pressed these
when they had served this purpose, and we
ad a fine collection of theflora of our ia-
vorite retreat.
We were sitting on' that same bank where
we were first caught trespassing, and again
I began to wonder about Bruin.
“What can it possibly matter to us, dear,”
she said, “where he is sulking l"
“Don’t call it sulking, Mary,” I replied ;"
“think of all he has been made to suffer.”
“That’s no reason why he shOuld curse
and swear at people, make himself disagre-
able, and be ungcntlemanly.”
“Ungentlemanly l"
“Yes, ungentlemanly. ‘HOWr did hubs-

I sat and considerered a while, and then I
said. ‘ ,
“Mary dear, I sometimes think that he was
so savage that day, because_he liked to come
to our house."
“Much we had to attract Mr. Tilsley of the
Grange !”
“I felt almost sure there was anfiattraction
there for him,” I persisted. .
“Meaning me f—you dear old goose l” she

mnloto'r Jeevol’a Idea of Russia.
In a letter to a friend, U. S. Minister Jew-
ell gav_e_ his impressions of Russia briefly as
follows :-- _ ,
“The governments of its kind perfection"
and clock-work itself. The Emperor is a
man of brains, force, "and progress, and I
think has a great lovefor his people. They
certainly appear very fend of him, all
classes. He appoints the Council, Senate
and courts, and these make and execute the
ewe. His displeasure is not a' pleasant
thing to incur. The people may be no more
honest than ours, but exposure is too risky.
So the shells are never fllled‘with sand, nor
do the troops run. The most powerful man
here after the Emperor is ‘Tripofi',’ Chief of
Police-a man of wonderful executive abil-
‘ity—always at a fire, a row, or a parade.
He is always just behind the Emperor when
out, and says who may come and who may
go, and who shall be tried too, I think, and
perhaps who may be oonvicted. He just
runs this city, and does it to perfection. He
is accountable to nobody but .the Emperor.
I send to him to get Americans out of
scrapes, or Out of the country, or to do
anything else. AllIknowis that it is done.
His dispatch to the frontier lets anybody
in or out, or stops them for examination.
He is said to be a very just man; and he
certainly is a very active one.”

Tan [‘70 snoring,
av 3mm: rams,
My home was seated high‘l'md fair,
Upon a mountain’s side;
The day was longest, brightest there;
' Beneath, the world was wide. .
Across its' blue, embracing zone .
The rivers gleamed, the cities shone, _
And over the edge of the fading rim &
I saw the storms in the distance dim,
And the flash of the soundless thunder.
But weary grew the sharp, cold wine
Of winds that never kissed, .
The changeless green of fir and pine,
The gray and clinging mist.
Above the granite sprang no bowers;
The soil gave low and scentless fiowers;
And the drone and the din of the waterfall
Became a challenge, a taunting call:
“'Tis fair, ’tis fair in the valley?” -
1
Of all the homesteads deep and far
My fancy clung to one,
Whose gable burned, a mellow star,
Touched by the sinking sun.
Unseen around, but not unguessed,
The orchards made a leafy nest;
The turf before it was thick, I know,
And trees were bushy the garden through,
And the windows were dark with rosos'
“ ’Tis happier there, below." 1 “81196 t
The world is warm and-near, ' '
And closer lose and comfort hide;
That cannot reach me hear.
'Who master is must be so blest .
He’ll share with me his sheltered nest,
If down to the .vslley I should go, .
Leaving the granite, the pines and snow,
And the winds that are keen as lanoes.”
I wandered down, by ridge and dell;
The way was rough and long;
Though earlier shadows round me fell,
_1 cheered them with my song.
The world's great circle narrower grew,
The hedge and thicket hid the blue;
But over the orchards, near at hand,
The gable shone on the quiet land,
And far away was the mountain!
Then came the master; mournful-eycd
And stern of brow was he.
“0, planted in such peace 1" I cried,
“Spare but tho'ast to me l”
‘Who seeks,” he said, “this brooding haze.
The lameness of these weary dayot
The highway's dust, the glimmer and heat,
The woods that fetter the young Wind's feet.
And hide the world and its beauty 2”
He stretched his hand; he looked afar
With eyes of old desire;
I saw my home a mellow star
That held the sunset’s fire.
6
“But yonder home,” he cried, “how fair! '
Its chambers burn like gilded air;
I know that the gardens are wild as dreams,
With the sweep ofwinds,the dash of streams,
And the pines that sound as an anthem
“So quiet, so serenely high
It sits, when clouds are furled,
And knows the beauty of the sky,
The glory of the world!
Who there abides must be so bloat
He’ll share with me that lofty crest,
If up to the mountain I should 3‘),
Leaving the dust and the glare below,
And the weary life of the valley l”
