nonsensical operations common amongs
young people just falling in love will
each other, and might have remained
there until this month of August, in this
year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and
ffty-seyen, for aught / know, had not
the carriages been sent to convey us
home, and the rest of the company began
to wonder where we were.
This wonder begot questions, the ques-
tions fears, and the fears search head
ed by the valiant Bimby. They called,
and looked, and listened, but position
down in the sheltered nook among the
rocks prevented them from hearing us or
we them.
AT length they hit upon the path, and
all came along, single file, until they got
to the open space above. Then they
saw light.

position, my bonnet taken off, and my
hair somewhat tomzled up. One foot
rested on the ground, and the other on
rock, about level with my head, regard
less of ankles this time) and there | sat,
putting away in very unlady-lik style,
at high favored Concha.
Jennie was sitting close beside me,
with her head a1most on my shoulder
and her small waist almost encircled by
my arm. Just as the party came above
us, laughed out in loud masculine
voice.
"Just think of poor, what's-his-name
there-Bimby Suppose that he knew
that he had been making love to man 7"
"Hush 2" cried Jennie. Look! there
he is-and, oh my good gracious there
is the whole company p
Yes, we were fairly caught. 1t was Of
no use for me to clap on my bonnet and
assume my falsetto again-they had all
seen too much for that. Besides, by this
time, Bob Styles and Maggie Lee were
doutless cone fesh,' and my disguise
was of no further Importance, so ! own
ed up and told the whole story.
Lawyer Bimby was in rage. He
vowed to lsill ii2e and etse,aa- squared off,
but the rest of the party laughed at him
so unmercilnlly, and suggested that we
should waltz it out together that he final
ly cooled down, and skunk away, to take
some private conveyance back to D.

RY A MODEST MAN.

Il conldn't think of such a thing
"But you must. My happiness de
pends on it. Here, put on the thingum
bobs, and what's his name."
And my friend, Bob Styles held up
before my hesitating gaze a suit Of femi.
nine apparel. His idea was that | should
pcrsonate his lady love for one day, "a
prevent any one from suspccting the truth
namely, that she had joined him in Il
runaway marriage party-until it should
be too late for interference; that is, until
the minister should have tied knot be
tween them that nothing but special
grant of the Legislature could unite
The scheme was not actually so alb.
snrd as it appeared at first sight. Mag
gle Lee was a tall, qneenly woman with
an almost masculine air; and, at that
time, had very slight forn-almost
etfeminate, so that, in fact, there was
very little difference in that point. Then
/ had light hair, tolerably long, and a
fresh complexion Part my hair in the
middle, and put bonnet on my head
and few persons would have suspected
but what | was really one of the softer
sex. These accessories also gave me
quite decided resemblance to Maggie
Lee, especially when, as in this case, the
disguise was her own.
Then the day chosen for the runaway
match was an auspicious one. Maggie's
father was to drive her to D, a small
village near where she lived and there
she was to join sailing party down
D river, to grove three miles be-
low, from which the party was to return
in the evening in carriages.
Our plan was, that | should be in wait
ing in the village, and should go on the
boat with the sailing party, while Mag
gle, after leaving her father, should slip
off with Bob Styles across the country.
At last | got dressed, and presented
myself before Maggie Lee, blushing
great deal, | believe, feeling very much
pinched about the waist, and with an un-
comfortable consciousness that my-my
shirt sleeves were too short, or wanting
altogether.
Everything finished IN the way OF toi- |
let, Styles took me into his light wagon,
drove me over to D., by secluded
route, and left me at the hotel, where the
sailing party was to assemble. Several
OF the picnicers we're already there, and
they greeted my cavalier cordially, (every
body knew Bob Styles asked if he was
going with them, etc. He told them he
was not.

time to bring Miss Lee over, to go with

and ne ratified off long string of brief
introductions, which convinced me that

"uOW BEAUTIFUL IL EARTH.v
BY MRS. SIGOURNEY.


Oh God how beautiful is earth,
In sunlight or in shade,
Her forests with their waving arch,
Her flowers that gem the glade,
Her hillocks, white with fleecy flocks,
Her fields with grain that glow,
Her sparkling rivers, deep and broad,
That through the valleys flow;
Her crested waves TINT clash the shore,
And lift their anthem loud,
Her mountains, with their solemn brows,
That WOO the yielding cloud.
Oh God how beautiful is life
That Thou dost lend us here,
With tinted hopes that line the clouds,
And joys that gem the tear,
With cradle-hymns of mothers young,
And tread of youthful feet.
That scarce, in their elastic bound
Bow down the grass-how ers sweet,
With brightness round the pilgrims staff,
Who, at the set Of sun,
Beholds the golden gates thrown wide,
And all his works well done.
But if this earth, which changes man,
That life, to death that leads,
Are made SO beautiful by Him
From whom III good proceeds,
How glorious must that region be
Where all the pure and best
From chance, and fear, and sorrow free,
Affirm ptpruAl rest

LITTLE THiNGs.-SPRiNGs are little
things, but they are sources of large
streams. A helm is little thing, but it
governs the course of a ship. A bride
bit is little thing, but see its use and
power. Nails and pegs are little things
but they hold large parts of large build
ings together. A word, look, frown,
all are little things, but powerful for good
or evil. Think of this and mind the little
things. Pay that little debt, it's promis-
ed, redeem it, fits a shilling had it over,
you know not what important event hangs
upon it. Keep your word, keep it to the
children, they will mark it sooner than
any one else, and the effect will probably
be as lasting as life. Mind the little
things.

Hon. EDWARD EVERETT on Our
Doom SpoRTs.-The "old man elo-
quent" I" very foreibly remarks that "the
Americans, as people-at least the pro-
fessional and mercantile elasses-have
too little considered the Importance of
healthful, generous recreation. They
have not learned the lessen contained in
the very word which teaches that til.
worn-0ut man is re-created made owe
again by the seasonable relaxation of til
strained faculties. The old world lear,~-.
ed this lesson years ago, and foundNs
(Herod /, l73) that as the bow alwat
bent will at last break, so the man, for
ever on the strain of thought and action.
will at last go mad or break down.,
Thrown upon new continent-eager to-
do the work of twenty centuries in two
the Anglo-American population has over
worked and is daily overworking ITSELF
From morning till night, from January to
December, brain aud hands, eyes and fin
gers, the power of the body and the pow
ers of the mind are in spasmedic, mer-
ciless activity. There is no lack of a few
tasteless, soulless dissipations which are
called amusements, but noble athletic
sports, manly outdoor exercises, are too
little cultivated in our town and country.'

Robert Emmett and his Love.

1t was on the evening of lovely day
the last day of the noble and ill-fated
Emmet-that young girl stood at the
castIe-gate, and desired admittance into
his dungeon. She was closely yelled,
and the keeper could not imagine who
she was, nor that any one of such proud
bearing should be an humble suppliant
at the prison-door. However, he granted
the boon, and led her to the dungeon
opened the massive door; then closed it
again and the lovers were alone. He
was leaning against the prison-wall, with
a downcast head, and his arms were fold
ed upon his breast Gently she raised
her veil and Emmet turned to gaze upon
all the earth contained for him--the girl
whose sunny brow, in the days of his boy
hood, had been his polar star; the maid
en- who had sometimes made him think
that the world was all sunshine. The
clanking of chains sounded like death
knell in her ears, and she wept like
child. Emmett said but little, yet he
pressed her to his bosom, and their feel
ing had silent meeting-such, perchance
as is held in heaven only, when we meet
to part no more. In low voice, he be-
sought her not to forget him when the
cold grave received his inanimate body.
He spoke Of bygone days-the happy
days of childhood, when bis hopes were
frightened: and though the world might
his name with scorn and con-
tempt, he prayed that she would still I
cling to him with affection, and remem-
Der him when he should be forgotten by !
all others. ..~s
The church-bell sounded, and the =
doomed prisoner remembered the hour
of execution. The turnkey entered, and
after dashing the tears from his eyes, he
separated them from their long embrace,
and led the lady from the dungeon. At
the entrance she turned, and their eyes
met: they could not say farewell. The
door swung on its heavy hinges, and they
