then she laughed again. what he says or
does says her majesty. while she was get
ting into a golden saddle, a horseback on a
great dragon hy, take it easy;' and | heard
her laugh and sing when she was out Of
sight, and her sweet voice shook a shower of
while rose leaves on my face. And when |
awoke | saw the wisdom Of her words, and
kept them close in my bosom; and often
when I'd just be going TO make a sharp an

world, ri think Of lie Gairy's lcord, and the
evil would pass away from my heart and lip
without a sound no one the worse for it, and

low, he was soon 10 be thought Tie differ, for
the angels took him from me in e~arnest.'
After a couple of years, | married again.
I've no reason to fault the second | had /;
though he was not spirited, yet gentle, like
him who sighed Out his soul in The blue tUa-

to have some one to whom | could have made
a clean breast; but | had none; and some

time-l again slept-and again saw the same
one of the good people. | did not think her
humor was as gay as it had been, and ! won

ond husband it would not have been man.
ners for Inc to spake first, but she was as
free as ever
'Well,' she SAYS, looking at me very solid
like, you've tried another; but though you
nave not forgotten my advice, you do not
follow it,
'Oh my lady, please yer majesty says /.
the tempers of the two are so differ y and |
thought with the words my heart would
break. For the moment poor Richards hu-
NOR was out it was off; but James sulk, and
sulk, like a bramble under the shade of an
oak and the fairy read my thoughts as if
they were an open ballad.
'Ah,' she said, they are different, but the
rule holds guod-gentle and simple, hot and
cold, old and young; and must take ii easy,
or you'll never be easy yourself. Let a pas
temper cool do not blow upon it a
breath may ruflle a lake and kindle a fire.
IA sulky temper alone; it's a standing
pool: the more it is stirred the more it will

ieen, but it bothers me- continued old Alice.
"Well, the end Of it was, that she finished

after that l did +; and l must say that James'
last breath was spent liz blessing me. Well,
dear, Miles PendergrasS was rich, and | was
poor-he wanted a mother for five children,
and a servant for himself, and he took me-
This was the worst case of the three. There
was a deal of love, young, fresh, heart-sweet
love at first ; and more than is going in gen.
eral to the second but, oh my grief! there
was none to the third. Oh, but marriage to
a woman without love what is u! Where
love is, ii is even pleasant 10 hear a harsh
word or an unkind look-a satisfaction that
you can show your love, by turning bitter to
sweet. Service is no service then; his voice
is yer music; his words yer law his very
shadow on the ground yer bri ghtest sun
shine"
"Aunt." said Aileen, "you did not think
that with the first at the time or you would
not have wanted the good psDpie's advice"
"Trne for We, avourneen; we never value
the sHRbeams so much as in the dark of the
moonless night! we never value a friends
az vice till he is beyond our reach and We
never prize the husbands love, or the mo-
theirs care, until the grave is closed over
them; and when we seek them there the
grass that we weep over is green, the mallow
and the dock have covered the cross or the
hearth-stone, and the red earth-worms we
have disturbed brings US no message"
al don't want 10 hear any more, aunt"
said Aileen, panied by the picture her aunt
had drawn; Il will prize Mark. Now I'll
own 10 the first of the quarrel, and the last
word OF it, if he'll confess 10 the middle"
LET IA quarrel alone, when once IFS over"
interrupted her aunt. "A quarrel, darlint, is
like DISQUALIFICATION once it is out of the
churn, the more you shake it the more sour
it grows"
And must say nothing when he comes
home :"
"Oh yes, say Mark, my hearts delight!'"
son, aunt, that would never do"
"N ell, If yer ashamed TO say what YOU
feel, a smile and a kiss will do as WELL"
"Did the fairy queen give you the same
advice the third time :" said the bride, blush
ing like Aurora ''for | suppose you saw her
the third time
81 must say, achora, she wasn't so civil 10
me the last time as she was the first and sec
ond." answered the old dame, bridling.-
''She tould me | wasn't so purity as | used to
be-that was true enough to be sure, only

bout men making laws and breaking them
and how every one has a thorn of some kind
or other 10 bear with; she tould me how
hard 1t was TO find three roses in a garden all
OF the same shape, color, and scent, and how
could expect three good husbands She
