of August, in this year of our Lord Eigh-
teen Hundred and Fifty-seven. for aught l
know, had not the carriages been sent to
convey us home, and the rest of the COM
pany began to wonder where we were.
This wonder begot questions, the ques-
tions fears, and the fears search, headed
by the valiant Bimby. They called and
looked and listened, but our position down
in the sheltered nook among the rocks, pre-
vented them from hearing us or we them.
At length they hit upon our path and all
came along, single file, until they got to the
open space above.
Then they saw sight.

ton, my bonnet taken off and my hair some

ground, ando other on rock, about level
with my head (regardless of ancles this
time, and there sat, putting away in a
very unladylike style, at high favored

Jennie was sitting close beside me with
her head almost on my shoulder, and her
small waist almost encircled by my arm
Just as the party came along above us [

"Just think Of poor Notwithstanding there
Suppose he knew that he has
been making love to manr'
''Hush!'' cried Jennie. 'Look here he
is-and, oh; my gracious there is the whole
company"
Yes, we were fairly caught. It was no
use for me to clap on my bonnet and assume
falsetto again-they had all seen too much
for that. Besides by this time, Bob Styles
and Maggie Lee were doubtless zone fish, {"
and my disguise was of no further impor-
tance so I owned up and told the story.
Lawyer Bimby was in rage. He VOW
ed to kill me, and even squared off, but the
rest Of the party laughed athim SO unmerci-
fully, and suggested that we should waltz
it out together, that he finally cooled down,
and SUNK away to take some private con-
veyance back to D..

BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME.

There are two kinds of beauty, one is
outward, the other is inward beauty oil
home in pleasant grounds, walks, shrub
berry, flowers, trees, rooms, furniture, pic
lures and whatsoever can render it agreea-
BILE to the eye, and suggest happy and vir-
tuous thoug hts to the mind. Of this kind
of beauty, we should have much in and a
bout our houses. A vine arbor, flower
bed, grass plat, rose bush, a gravel walk,
a shade tree, pleasant yard, are easily had,
especially by farmers and villagers. No
one, with hands and health, should be with
out such adornments to his home. A child,
even, can plant flower seed, or shrub; !;
and. if properly taught and encouraged,
will be glad to engage in such pleasant Ia
bors. In odd morning and evening hours
how much may be done to beautify ones
home. If every week adds a little, and
every year more, how much will be done in
any ones dwelling, to give it an air of
cheerful beauty; and of all beauty, that
which is natural is most to be dmlred, such
as grows, bears, and blossoms.
But if outward beauty is within the reach
of all, how much more is inward beauty =
In household, how berutiful is good
husband, wife, brother, sister, father. moth
er and child. How beautiful are pleasant
faces, loving eyes, affectionate words, kind
Offices and sympathizing hearts. How beau
tiful are honesty, sincerity, good will. gen
erosity, kindness, sympathy, affection =
How beautiful is religion as it.speaks in
words of prayer, and glows in acts OF be-
nevolence and forgiveness. What outward
adornment can compare with the grace Of a
chaste and loving heart; or the charms
of a kind and honest life?
Houses are under the control of those who
dwell in them. We make our own houses
or help to make them. The beauty that is
in and about them is Of our own making, at
least in part. If they lack beauty, it is our
fault. Beauty both outward and inward, is
within our own reach. It is an attainment
we may all possess.
What object in life is more commendable
than to beautify our houses? What is home
but the spring source of all that is great and
good in human life? Here are born and
reared the worlds children, its great and
good men and women, philosophers, philan-
! thropists, statesmen, scholars and Christians.
Out from home go. all the holiest influences
that bless mankind. Into the heart Of home
flow the treasures of the world, the products
! of it's labors. For home we all live and toll,
more than for all else of the earth. Why,
then, should it not be beautifed? It is clear
to my mind that the best religion in the
world is that which grows and thrives best
at home; so that out from home go the vir-
tues, loves and spirits that constitute and
people heaven. What else, then, is more
glorious to live for, than to beautify our
homes? In so doing we are sowing seeds

SORROW.

Deem not that they are blest alone
Whose days peaceful tenor keep;
The God who loves our race, has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
Tie light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears,
And weary hours of woe and pain,
Are earnests of screner years.
Oh, there are days of sunny rest,
For every dark and troubled night!
Grief may abide an evening guest,
But joy will come with early light.
! For God hath marked each anguished day,
And numbered every secret tear,
And heavens long age Of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here

A DAY IN CRINOLINE.
BY A MODEST MAN.

Il couldn't think of such thing"
i''.But you must. My happiness depends
on it. Here, put on the thingumbobs, and
the what's his name"
And my friend Bob Styles, held up be-
fore my hesitant gaze suit of female ap-
parel
His idea was that [ should personate his
lady love for one day, to prevent anybody
from suspecting the truih-namely, that
she had joined him in a runaway marriage
party-until it should be too late for inter-
ference that is until the minister should
have tied knot between them, that moth
ing but special grant Of Legislature could
unite.
This sch ne was not actually so absurd as
it appeared at first sight. Maggie Lee, was
a tall, queenly woman, with an almost mas
culine air, and at that time [ had a very
slight form-almost eHeminate, so that, in
fact, there was really but little difference in
that point. Then l had light hair tolera-
bly, long, and fresh complexion. Part my
hair in the middle, and put bonnet on my
head and few persons would have suspected
but was really one of the softer sex
These accessories also gave me quite de-
cided resemblance to Maggie Lee, especial
,ly, when, as in this case, the disguise was
her own.
Then the day chosen for the runaway
match was an auspicious one. Maggie's faith
er was to drive her to D, small vii
lage near where she lived, and there she
was to join sailing party down D.
river, to the grove three miles below, from
(which the party was to return in the even
ing in carriages.
Our plan was, that I should be in wait
ing in the village, and should 60 on the
boat with the sailing party while Maggie,
after leaving her father, should ship with
:. Bob Styles. across the country.
AT last, got dressed, and presented my
self before Maggie Lee, blushing a great
deal; | believe, feeling very much pinch.

LIFE.

The days of Infancy are all a dream,
: How fair but OH how short they SEEM
'Tis life's sweet opening Spring!
The days of Youth advance;
: The bounding limb, the ardent glance,
The kindling soul they bring
It is life's burning Summer time.
Manhood -matured with wisdom's fruit, -
Reward of Learning's deep pursuit
Succeeds as Autumn follows Summer time
And that, and that, alas goes by;
And what ensues? The lauguid eye,
Tie failing frame, the soul o'ercast

Lies blessed scason-for it is the last
