II don't know that there was any
thing more there to amuse him more
than any one else," replied Lizzie,
blushing; !" but have you got your
Spring bonnet yet, Kate! :"
Yes; Lucy and I have got bonnets
alike; they are beauties I tell you.
Come up stairs, and will show you
mine."
After the bonnet had been seen and
duly admired, they all returned to the
parlor.
"Oh, Lizzie !" exclaimed Kate, "I
almost forgot to tell you we had visit
from Mrs. Gibson this morning"
"Had you, indeed ? then / suppose
you heard the news"
ooh, yes; she always carries big
bag full you know /; but, somehow or
other there is something about that
woma an I don't like" -
"She is very unpleasant to me !; she
is real mischief-maker, think"
"She talks about discarding you,"
remarked Lucy, "because your mother
was scamstress
"Indeed next time you see her
then, tell her for me that think the
seamstress' daughter is quite as good as
a gamblers daughter"
"Pshaw Lizzie I'd take no notice
of it; she is not worth minding."
"She's not; that's fact"
Some more like conversation followed
and then Lizzie bade her friends good
bye having first promised them, how
ever, to come and spend a social after
noon with them.
Well, now, this is a strange world,
isn't it," remarked aunt Betsey to her
neices, as they entered the parlor, after
having seen their visitor to the door.
La! aunt Betsey,'' replied Kate,
"you've been SO quiet that I actually
forgot you were in the room. What in
the world have you been thinking about
all this time ?'' , s-..'. .e
"Well, answered the old lady, speak
ing very slowly" I was just thinking
that all the Nancy Wimbles didn't live
in Cedardale. At any rate think they
have some pretty near relatives here"

ceive the mote in our neighbours eye than
it is the beam in our own eye.

silently, to the roll-call of booming
thunder, they took their places, shoulder
to shoulder, and the old minister saw
before him the available strength of the
village each man capable of bearing a
musket, from the grey-haired veterans
to the boy of sixteen. Grouped aronnd

save faith and prayer. One other group
must not be forgotten the mothers
wives, sisters, and daughters of those
men upon the common, who remained
clustered around the meet t'ng-house,
watching with breathless interest the
movements of their friends. Love,
pride, anxiety, hope, and faith lit up
their excited features, but l trow there
was little cowardice there.
The old minister's heart glowed with
in him at the sight of the resolute, de-
termiped-looking faces before him, as
they proceeded to choice of officers
The subordinate Offices could readily bt

moral and physical courage were un-

unexpected proof of their esteem and

old Puritan spirit in him to decline; his
heart was in the cause, and in few apt

a true Cromwellian, called down tn

The summer, fair summer, love il we'll
Mid its beauteous flowers it is sweet to dwell
Its gentle breezes we love to inhale.
While at ease on some silver lake we sail.
While the moonbeams play in the stray
roalms.
And night is crowned by those brillian,
gems
When the Queen Of light looks down on the
earth,
And the air is still, tits sweet to 20 forth.
To the rivulets bank, near some shady oak
With friends by our side, We admire to
walk;
On the works Of nature we then may look,
And study the lessons contained in its book.
We welcome with Joy the bright summer
days, ...-
When sorely oppressed by Soils scOrching
rays,
Why, then may we HE to the shady woods,
And list to the melody rich Of the birds.
We love to walk in grottoes and glens,
And Gull the fairest Of flowers bright gems,
To quench our thirst at some gentle rill,
OF its ripping aqua to drink our fill.
Summer has pleasures unnumbered. for me
love TO embark on starlit sea;
When the winds are light, there love to
roam,
And watch the gay sport of the sparkling
foam.
Through the realms Of Flora we love to
stray,
And secure the delights of summer day;
Or at dewy eve, in blooming bowers,
How sweet the perfume Of ordorous flowers.
Summer, fair summer, its roses we sing
To its beautiful hopes the heart will cling;
Surrounded by all that is bright and fair
The Queen of the seasons in beauty is here.
