[From the New York SUM-
THE TWIN SISTERS.
A TRUE ST OR Y.
{Coucl9t1e1.l


We have said that Mr.. Langley was
a man of the world. He was strangely
attached to his children; but he had a
little of the selishness and much Of the
reverence for wealth of man of the
world. As he now endeavored to deter
mine mentally on his proper course of
action-to disentangle the whole case
from all its mysterious intricacies-to
view il, extraordinary as it was, in its
proper bearings, his thoughts began
gradually TO assume what is called "a
practical turn.n He reflected that he
had another daughter, beside the twin
sisters, to provide for, and that he had
two sons to settle in life. He was not
rich enough to start his sons favorably
in career of emlnence. Mr.. Streat-
field, on the contrary, was a man OF
great wealth and of great connections
among people in power. Was such a
son-in-law to be rejected, even after all
that had happened, without at least con-
suIting his wife? He thought not
Had not Mr. Streatfeld, in truth, been
the victim of remarkable fatality, of
an incredible accident, and were no
allowances, under such circumstances,
to be made for him? He began to think
there were. Refecting thus, he began
at length TO proceed with moderation
and caution at all hazards; and regain
ed composure enough to continue the
conversation in a cold, but still in a
polite tone.
"I will commit myself to no agree
ment or promise whatever he began,
snor will | consider this interview in
any respect as conclusive one, either
on your side or mine; but if think, on
consideration, that it is desirable that
our conversation should be repeated to
my wife and daughters, | will make
them acquainted with it, and will lei
YOU know the result. In the meantime
think you will agree with me that il
is most fit that the next communication
between us should take place by letter
alone.n
Mr.. Streatfield was slow in taking
the hint conveyed by Mr.. Langley's
last words After what had occurred,
and until something was definitely set.
tied, he felt that the suffering and sus.
pense which he was already enduring
would be increased tehfoid if he re.
manned longer in the same house with
the twin-sisters-ihe betrothed of one,
the lover of the other! Murmuring a
] few inaudable words of acquiescence
in the arrangement which had Just been
proposed to him, he left the room. The
same evening he Quilted Langley Hall
The next morning the remainder d
the guests departed, their curiosity t.

A VILLAGE TALE.
The rocks are cawing in the elIns,
As on the very day
That sunny morning, mother dear,
When Lucy went away;
And April's pleasant CLEANS have come,
And April's gentle rain
Fresh leaves are on the vine but when
VIII Lucy come again?
The spring is as it used to be,
And all must be the same;
And yet | miss the feeling now,
That always with it came.
1t seemed as if to me she made
The sweetness of the year
As if could be glad no more,
Now Lucy is not here.
A year-it seems but yesterday,
When at this very door
You stood; and she came running back,
To say good bye once more;
hear you sob-your parting kiss
The last fond words you said
All little did we think-one year,
And Lucy would be dead!
How all comes back-the happy times,
Before our father died;
When blessed with him, we knew no want,
scarce KNEW a WISH uSHlSu-
His loss, and all our struggles on,
And that worse dread, to know,
From home, too poor to shelter al,
That one at last must go.
How often do blame myself
How often do ! think,
How wrong was to shrink from that
From which she did not shrink;
And when I wish that had gone,
And know the wish in vain
And say, she might have lived, think,
How can [ smile again
/ dread to be alone, for then,
Before my swimming eyes,
Her parting face, her waving hand,
Distinct before me rise
She rolls the wagon down the road
| watch it disappear
Her last "dear sister" fond goodbye"
Still lingering in my ear.
Oh mother, had but father lived
1t would not have been thus;
Or God still had taken her,
She would have died with us;
She would have had kind looks, fond words,
Around her dying bed
Our hands to press her dying hands,
To raise her dying head.
I'm always thinking, mother, now,
Of what she must have thought;
Poor girl. as day on day went by,
And neither of us brought
Oh how she must have yearned one face
That was not strange to see-s
Have longed one moment to have set
One look on you or me.
Sometimes dream happy dream
| think that she is laid
Beside our own old village church,
Where we so often played;
And | can sit upon her grave,
And with her shall be,
Afar from where the city's noise,
And thronging feet go by.
Nay, mother, weep not 50,
God Judges for the best,
And from 4 world of pain and woe,
He took her to his rest
Why should we wish her back again
Oh freed from sin and care,
Let us rather pray Gods love
Ere long to join her there.
