the good people that ever the eyes Of women
looked upon---a little deeshy dawsIy cray
thur, footing its way all round the blossoms
Of a snew-whito lilly, now twisting round
upon the worry top Of her tney toe; then, as
il she was joining hand round, down The
middle, and up again, 10 the tune, of" the
Rakes Of Mallow--n
The Rakes of Mallow!'' exclaimed Al
ieen.
.The Rakes OF Mallow," repeated Alice,
solemnly; III heard il as plainly as / heard
the rising march Of the bees as this blessed
minute. Well, OF student, she made a
spring, and stood upright as a dart upon The
green crown in the midst of the flower, and
pushed back her ringlets, and settled her
dress, al a pocket looking glass not SO big as
a midge's wing; then all in a minute She
looked at me, and said, ~ don't like the

"Well, 10 be sure, my heart came 10 my

husband in the bargain" says the queen, for
she was no less; and there's no use in
fighting for the upper fhands," says the
queen, q for both the law and The prophets
are against us in that; and if il comes to
open war" says the queen, " we get the
worst oft; ifyour husband falls into bad
temper, or queer temper-ifhe is cross, or
unkind, or odd, take 10 easy" says the
queen" even if he does not come round at
once. This quiet way of yours will put you
in his heart, or him at your feet (which is
pretty much the same thng) al last /; gentIe-

Joy and hope, like music of The priests own
silver bell. "It's no harm," she continued,
/" IL now and then you give him taste Of
that which nakes. your eyes SO bright, and

a What's that, madam?" saysI.

and | heard her laugh and sing when she
was out ofsight, and hor sweet voice shock
a shower of white rose leaves from bush
on my face. And when awoke saw the
wisdom Of her words, and kept them close
in my bosom: and often when I'D be just
going to make a sharp answer to him ! loved
