CHAPTER III.

The autumn, with golden fruits, and gold
On tints, had come, and the yellow leaves
were already strcwing tho pa.Ls ~isA . -s..-
tie of gold.
The old year was preparing to die, and was
laying its armor down for the advent of the
new. The rich drapery Of green that had
covered the forest was slowly fading before
the frosts of the long autumnal nights; still
the love in the hearts of Howard and Ellen
was warm and bright as the delightful sum-
nler evenings when their affections were mu-
tually interchanged.
They had been betrothed for some time,
and were looking forward for the first day of
the new year, as the one which should cele-
brate their nuptials, and usher in the we'd
ding morn.
They had not, as yet, communicated their
intentions to the father Of Ellen; but were
waiting fit time and opportunity. He did
not ask his daughter any questions-but the
merry twinkle of bis bright eye, told that he
had surmised the true state of affairs.
1t was what he had wished for, since his
acquaintance with Howard. The young man
was poor but what cared he for that. Had
he not property for both He could then
live with his children, and smoothly travel
along the down-hill road of life's decline.
The old man would dream on longer than
before, with his eyes half closed, and the
same sweet smile playing upon his features.
1t was during one of these MONDAY reye-
ries, that he was reused to consciousness by
the entrance of Howard.
He started rather abruptly from his chair,
but as his eyes fell upon the young man he
resumed his easy-chair, and opened the con-
versation by few commonplace remarks
These were gradually broken off, until ST.
lence of some moments took their place, when
Howard in firm, though somewhat agitated
voice, said
Il am come, Mr.. Clayville, to claim your
daughters hand, with the assurance that
have won her heart. Can you with all the
affection that is felt towards her as an only
child, consent to resign her into my keeping
/ do not offer wealth as an inducement to VIII
your daughters love but | am frank te
confess that offer myself alone. Have
your consent to claim her as my bride g.
The young man waited for reply.
Mr.. Clayvile arose and left the room with
out saving word. In a moment he reap
peared with his daughter by his side. As he
heard the confession Of mutual love, he gave,
with moistened eyes and trembling voice bis
dearest treasure into the guardianship OF her
lover.
A short time after, the first day Of the new
year came round, and brought the apparel OF
the bridal morn -a-ss-e
After the ceremony had been performed
Howard confessed to his happy wife that he
had been dscsiving her, and presented 10 hen

SPRING.

Spring 10 eoning-Spring is coming;
With her sunshine and her shower;
Heaven is ringing with the singing
OF the birds in brake and bower
Buds are filing, leaves are swelling,
Flowers on field and bloom on tree;
Der the earth, and ear, and ocean,
Nature holds her jubilee
Soft then stealing comes feeling
Ger my bosom tenderly
Sweetly ponder, as wander,
For my musings are Of thee.
Spring is coming-spring is coming.
With her mornings fresh and light;
With her moons Of chequered glory,
Sky Of blue, and clouds ofwhite.
Calm grey nightfalls, when the light falls
From the star-bespangled sky,
While the splendor, pale and tender,
Jfthe young moon CLEANS on high.
Still at morn, at noon, at even,
Spring is full ofjoy for me,
For ponder, as wander,
And my musings are of thee.
Still on thee my thoughts are dwelling,
whatso'er thy name may be;
Beautiful, beyond words telling,
Is thy presence unto me.
Mornings breaking, finds thee waking
Wandering in the breeze's flight;
Noontide's glory mantles DER thee
In a shower of sunny light;
Daylight dying leaves the lying
In the silvery twilight ray;
Stars look brightly on thee nightly
Till the coming Of the day.
Everywhere and every minute
Feel near thee, lovely one
In the lark and in the linnet,
can hear thy joyous tone.
Bud and blooming mark the coming
ofthy feet DER vale and hill;
And thy presence with lifes essence,
Makes the forests heart to fill.
Low before thee, adore thee,
Love creative, thee sing
Now meet thee, and greet thee
By thee holy name Of SPRING
