| cannot understand their word
Some tale those bright drops tell, know
For the corn leaves IL they heard,
And barley fields nod to and FRO
The brooklets o'er the meadows spread
And then like elves they dance and sing,
And clovers hang their blushing heads,
Like little creatures listening
1t is good thing they relate
For, when the cloud has passed the sun.
The green fields smile with joy elate,
As the world had put glory on.
The rain the soft pleasant patering rain of summer
1t unkles muscay against the window. and fancy
can hear the low melody of its fall upon grass and the
flowers in the garden below. It's thoroughly rainy day
dark damp and dismalas such days will come Mt
Cape Island and the yses reduced the necessity

Shngods abandoned and the gentlemen loungng

The elderly ladies have retired their rooms partly be-
they sleepy and partly that the lovers may
cozy chat to themselves Groups of wos and fours
scattered about the drawngroom in every variety att-
ude 1t is long apartment with windows at either end
table in the middle, open piano in recess and the
walls decked in gilt frames looking bright though one
vas which repose quietly within those gilded squares
Even rainy day Cape Island without its vein of
romance!
Glance in that corner that graceful girl and her
companion half shrouded in the dapery of the window
curtain. They fne-ookng couple, and as if
they really matched that matrimonial register
upon which they do say lovers paired off by bright
winged recorder as the parties born. He is
not very young she is about -; dare no-she would
pardon mel Enough to know that the years she
numbers have close sympathy with "sVea sixteen"
AS they sit there it is study notice their
single glance sufces to show that he is speaking
derly, though do not hear his words His look riv
eted upon his companonnot fully and freely but with
all the caution of who not that his secret should
be read by idle eyes The lady sits with her eyes cast
down but the eddy from her heart which sends up its
rosy scarlet her whole face at intervals plainly shows
that she does listen unheedngly the low murmur
that falls upon her There must be something pleas
well embarrassing in the reveang Of her neigh
bor for her soft violet eyes raised to his in
estness, and dropped conusedy, beneath meaning
glance which gives the language she is drinking in per-
sona application The low of his voice the grace
full and pleading attitude the very bend Of his head
veals a heart history And the lady--t is difficult
dear reader to understand and translate the varying
color on her check, and the ful CLEAN of her eyes
We wonder if anywhere in this western world more vs-
ions of happiness have been dreamed than this Mecca

dent CLEAN Of eXpectant brdegrooms' eyes.
Look again! Miss -- excuse the name very
restless and dissatisfied She has bent for awhile an
unfinished article of needework then cast it aside in dis
gust her rosebud mouth poutng after the approved
style of angry beauties wandering from window to
window, from table to table opening book, straying
about in excitement of restessness which she
conceal She is seated at the ever-open piano, her
taper fingers wantonins among the keys of the instrument
her small foot pressing down the yielding pedals At the
close of brilliant prelude she shakes back her long ring
lets lounges anguidly to the end of the room and sinks
luxurously into the yielding cushions of ample easy
chair while she amused her ennu by torurng bunch
of white lilies till the whole is filled with the per-
lmc of their silent conplanings Even this employment
seems to afford but temporary qualification; and she
reclines in the embasure of the window small hand
nteposed between her cheek and the pane and the other
crushing in its careless grasp the wreck Of her boquet
This satisfactory employment than either Of
the others for though her yet extremely isess
she finds sufficient occupation for her eyes in watching the
petuant rain rings upon the panes the larger drops
cnging the framework of the window. This pro-
voking rain has cheated her out of days enjoyment
fishing.
Look again In the corner u.s. two fair girls
seated on lounge one her little feet coquettishy group

added with her folded and with calmness unusual
to one suffering under great wrong and in this attitude
she swep from the room slamng the door with elaborate
vehemence.
