Who can that young girl be, who
passes by here every morning, exactly
at nine o'clock = said Sedley Eustace,
addressing his sister.
| have not noticed any one in par
ticular,' was Mrs. Onsow's reply
Probably it is some school girl, if she
passes every day at nine
There she is now,' said Scdley.
Do you mean that girl in the calico
dress, and straw bounet;'
'Ycs-do you know who she is ?
No, though | should think she might
be milliner's apprentice, if her dress
were little more genteel. cannot
imagine why you arc so earnest to find
out who she is !!
1t is because there is something in
her looks and appearance, which, to me,
is interesting
How absurd you are, Sedley. What
can you possibly see that is interesting
in an ill clad girl, with such pale, dis
NAL looking face ?
A pale, dismal looking face, say
you' To me, it is full of thought
somewhat sad and melancholy looking,
| grant, yet her mouth always wears an
expression of sweetness, and, at times,
there is quick lighting up Of the coun-
tcnance and play Of features which is
absolutely enchanting
You seem to have made her face
quite study. She would throw the
fascinating Claribel Larpent quite into
the shade, suspect. But to be serious,
Sedley, what do you suppose Claribel
would say, should you express such an
opinion in her presence p
l am not particularly solicitous to
know replied Sedley.
Never Claribel will bring you
to her feet yet
1t is not impossible
Not only so, but unavoidable, unless
you are more unimpressible than l be-
lieve you to be. Come, I've a task for
you to perform, which your interesting
unknown came near making me forget.
Not bard one, / hope

Me-. WENTWORTH ALEXANDER.
Round and round the village going,
Flowing glides the river on,
Past the trees, whose shadows showing,
Float the still current down.
Past the houses, past the humming,
Drumming of the tools of toll,
Past the banks and meadows coming
To consecrated sol;-
Where the dead in holy keeping,
Sleeping bar their ghastly doors
On the watching and the weeping,
BY the river and its shores.
And in monumental glory,
Hoary age and youth repose,
Listening even to the story
OF The river as it goes:
In plantive murmur saying,
Playing darkly in the sun,
"Time and l are never staying,
Time and l can weep for none.
Downward rush my waves descending,
Bending to the shoreless sea
Time with them as swiftly tending,
To its grave-Etcrnity-."
