COUSIN AGATHA.

Amongst the many sketches attempted
and thrown aside in my boysh days, there
is one still extant which bears at its foot
the words Cousin Agatha Many day
dreams does that name recall, many bright
memories of my early boyhood, and she is
connected in my mind, not only with those
fresh and happy times when | had never
known sorrow, but with later days, when
grief was familiar to me in many shapes,
and when the same power had changed
her even more than myself.
l was barely thirteen years old, when
cousin Agatha, then scarcely seventeen,
first made her appearance amongst us.
She was the daughter of an elder sister of
my father, who having gone out to India
with relative, had married there some
what above her own rank. Agatha was
her only child, and my amt dying when
she was very young, the little girl was
sent to England even earlier than she would
otherwise have been. She was consigned
to the care of a maiden lady, relation of
her father, but ust after she had left
school, the sudden death of this person
left her in manner unprotected. Her
father indeed was expected in England in
ahfew months, and avowed his intention
ofgtaking his daughter back to India with
him, in the course Of the ensuing year. So
she wrote to US, her nearest relatives in
England, and asked my mother to receive
her until her fathers arrival. Many Of her
aunts friends had offered her a home, but
she seemed to feel it duty to apply first
her mothers family.
She came, and oh, how different she was
TO all our preconceived ideas of her. In
four and twenty hours she had won the
heart of every creature in the house, from
my father down to our little spaniel Fido,
in a week she was the very idol of the
village. She was not regularly beautiful,
but lively and bewitching beyond all ex-
preston. She was tall, and somewhat full
in person for her age, but perfectly well
made, and extremely easy and graceful in
her movements. Her complexion was daz-
cling pure. think her neck was the whitest
and most exqulsitely modelled ever saw,
and the pretty dimples in her shoulders
actually seemed to make them smile. Her
mouth was somewhat Of the largest, but its
full red lips and white teeth, and ever vary
ing expression, made one call it beautiful.
Her nose was not Roman, or Grecian, or
of al,y recognized order; but if it had the
fault of commences, it was amply re-
deemed by pair Of clear dark brown
eyes aud magnificent forehead. Her
hair was abundant and rich; soft and bright
as silk. but here was the only disputed
point about her. Nobody could deny that
Il was beautiful hair, but those who envied
her called it rather reddish, while every one
else pronounced it a perfect auburn. Her
hands and feet were not particularly small,
but they were well-shapcd, and the former
were.so delicately white, and the latter trod
the earth with step SO light and Free that
he mast have been ruthless critic who
would have found fault with their proper
tions. Her disposition was just what her

ON A WOMAN'S INCONSISTENCY.

loved thee once-I'll love thee no more,
Thine be the grief, as is the blame;
Thou art not what thou vast before,
What reason should be the same
He that can love unloved again,
Hath better store of love than brain.
God send me love my debts to pay,
While unthrifts fool their love away.
Nothing could have my love o'erthrown
If thou hadst still continued mine;
Yea, if thou hadst remained my own,
| might, perchance, have yet been thine;
But thou thy freedom did recall,
That it thou might elsewhere enthral,
And then how could but dsdan
A captive's captive to remain?
When new desires had conquered thee,
And changed the object of thy will,
1t had been lethargy in me,
No constancy to love thee still;
Yea, it had been sin to 90
And prostitute affection 50,
Since we are taught no prayers to say
To such as must to others pray.
Yet do thou glory in thy choice;
Thy choice, of his good fortune boast,
I'll neither grieve, nor yet rejoice,
To see him gain what have lost;
The height of my disdain shall be,
To laugh at him, to blush for thee;
To love thee still, but 90 no more
begging at beggar's door.

In tina, beautiful part Of Germany which borders on
the Rhine. there IL noble castle which, you travel
on the western banks of the river, you may see lifting
It's ancien, the opposite side above the grove
Of trees about old itself About forty years ago
there lived That castle a noble gentlemen, who we
shall call Baron -. The Baron had only one son,
who not only comfort to his father bu, a bless
ing to all who live ! on his fathers land
il happened on a certain occasion that this Young
man being from home, there came French gentleman
10 the Baron. As this gentleman came in
10 the castle he began 10 talk OF his Heavenly Father
m terms that chilled the old mans blood which the
old mau reptoled him. saying, "afe you afraid Of
offending God who rcigns above, by speaking in such
. manner" The gentleman said he knew nothing a
bout God, for he never see him. The Baron did not
notice at this time what the gentleman sald but the
nett morning took him about the castle and grounds,
and took occasion first to show him very beautiful
picture that hung the wall. The gentleman admir-
cd the picture very much; and said, whoever drew
this picture knows very well how 10 use his pencil"
ANY son drew this picture" said the Baron.
Then your son is very clever man." replied the
gentleman.
The Baron then went with his visitor into the gar
den, and showed him many beautiful flowers and for
est trees.
"who has the ordering Of this garden7" asked the
gentleman
My son" replied the Baron,"he knows every plant,
may say from the cedar of Lebanon, to the hyssoP
on the wall
Indeed" said the gentleman 81 shall think very
highly of him SOON
The Baron then took him into the village and show
ed him small neat cottage where his son had eSab-
shed a school. and where he caused all young chill
dren who had lost their parents To be received and
nourshed at his own expense. The children il the
house looked SO innocent aud happy, that the gentle
was very much pleased and when he returned to
the castle he said TO the Baron, "whd, happy man
you are 10 have so good a son ~
How do YOU know have good 4 SOM"
Because ! have seen bis works, and ! know he
mus, be good and clever if he has done all you have
shown me o."
"Bu, Won have never seen him"
"No. but know him very well because Judge OF
him by his works"
"True,' replied the Baron, ''ani IN tins way Judge
Of the character OF our Heavenly Father know from
h. works iha, he i, beag OF infinite wisdom, ano
power, and goodness"
The Frenchman felt the force Of the reproof, and
MAS careful not to offend the good Baron any by
his remarks.
