But the solitary Forget-me-notn no longer
felt pride in her position: terrible feeling
of inconsistencies came over her, and she
bowed her head in sorrow for the loss Of her
friend and companion, longing only for an
opportunity of escape from her captivity
Fortune favored her at last. It was early
morning, and the two still stood talking to-
gether by an open window, as the guests
were preparing to depart, when all at once
neighbor Charlie caught sight of a moss
rose bud temptingly within reach: "This
will be good substitute for the lost Lily"
said he, as he gathered it.
The brooch was unfastened, but the
young girls fingers trembled as she placed
the rosebud within it, displacing the Forget
me-not. A zephyr bore up the wanderer
for while, then waited it down, down, far
away from the maiden and her lover, render
ing it quite insensible from the rapidity of
it's fight When it again opened it's dim
med blue eyes, the little Forget-me- not was
lodged upon messy bank within sound of
splashing water-within sound of it; but
alas not near enough to taste of its sweet
ness. Poor little thing; she had gained
experience by her travels; but it had been
dearly bought She looked wofully altered
since she quilted her peaceful home: tiny
rootlet was still hanging to it, sadly parched
and shriveled: some of its leaves and BIOS
SONS were quite dead, and bit of it's stem
dreadfully bruised. How she longed to be
once more in her old haunts, or just little
nearer to the refreshing water! A few
more hours and death would surely come
for the breeze had lulled, and the oppressive
heat of MONDAY was setting in. Suddenly
a storm arose, and a drenching rain fell in
torrents. Oh! how eagerly the languid
wanderer drank the refresing drops And
then friendly breeze waited it down the
sloping bank, and the rivulet already swol-
len with the rain, rippled nearer and nearer,
and at last bathed its little rootlet: then the
current became stronger, and the Forget
me-pot, floating on its surface, went drifting
along, it knew not whittier, unable to stay
it's course.
Night closed in once more upon the tran
quill valley, and the stars looked down re-
joicingly over it; for the weary traveller had
a5 las; e. -nlace AMONGST its
KINDRED: Though bowed and broken, and
shorn Of all beauty, there was life in it still,
and power of endurance, till then untest-
ed, had been called forth and strengthened
by it wanderings up and down in ''the wide,
wide world" for the good World Father
can bring good even out of evil; and the
humbled flower sighed no more for sphere
other than that which unerring wisdom had
assigned to it. So the guardian Spirit
waited upwards hymn of praise, unalloyed
by regret or discomfort, only the hly-bells
dropped more humbly as they mourned for
their fallen sister, who returned to them no

THE DISCONTINUED FLOWERS.

In the depths of beautiful wood, far a
way from the noise of cities, and the smoke
of chimneys, is bright clear pool of water,
in which the dropping branches of the will
low mirror and battle themselves Sweetly
scented lime-trees are grouped together near
it, beneath the arching boughs of which the
graceful fern and the blue-eyed forget-me-
not flourish luxuriantly.
The banks of this crystal lake are fringed
with moss and tall Towering grasses; and
the woodland paths beyond, where the
ground is not SO moist, are carpeted in the
early spring with masses of the delicate blue
hyacinth; and no sooner has that faded than
the modest lily of the valley arises, with her
perfumed bells, to scent the air in that Sc
questered spot.
Many wayfarer has paused in his jour-
ney through the forest, to drink from the
limpid waters in that still retreat, and has
wondered at the variety of foliage and bios
som growing side by side in that place; and
has been puzzled to account for the appear
ance of some plants, which, according to the
botanists, had no business to be growing
wild in such locality.
But there are records handed down from
tree to tree, and whispered from flower to
flower, of time when the now extensive
wood was private shrubbery, planted with
taste and care, by wealthy landowner
and the pool, which is now the favorite
haunt of the May-hy, the dragon-fy, and
their kindred, was once fsh-preserve-
The ancient ferns, too, now rearing their
beauteous fronds as shelter for myriads of
the insect tribe, have faint recollection OF
having been transplanted from distant re-
gion in their early youth; but they have
taken kindly to their present home, and are
too old now to care about making another
Journey to the soil of their ancestors, so they
cling closer and closer to the rocks that sur
round them, and spring up year after year
more vigorously than ever. And the forget
me-nots, as the days go round, creep farther
and farther over the surface of the pool,
laughing up in the sunlight with their bright
eyes. as though change and trial were un-
known to the flowers of earth.
It is indeed very lovely spot, and the
sunbeams and the moonbeams linger there
by turns, right willingly, piercing playfully
through the coy leaves, which try so vail
antly to keep them out; but the zephyrs
come to the rescue; and to them the leaves
bow obediently at their lightest breath, and
make way for them. So the shining rays,
which are heavens messengers, follow swift
ly in the zephyr's path, and CLEAN and SHIN
mer down into the very depths of the pool
itself
Surely if peace be known upon earth, she
haunts that favored spot! And there is no
lack of music either to enliven the tranquil
lty. It is not dead calm which reigas
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1859-03-03
THE VILLAGE BELIEF;
OR, THE DEFEATED BULLY
BY FRANK FAUGETT,

By
Robert Marvin was tailor. He was an
honest, Industrious man, always cheerful
and contented, well-known and well-thought
of by all the people Of the little village Of
Stockdale, wherein he resided.
Now, Marvin had daughter, merry
romping, rosy-cheek girl of eighteen sum-
mers, with plump form, and a bewitching
grace that captivated every one with whom
she came in contact. She was beloved and
admired by all who knew her and as ma
tural consequence had quite q number of sui
tors. Prominent among these was one
Morton Baxter, staggering, self-conceited
braggard, who had been paying his address,
es to Isabella Marvin for more than year,
and who, it was generally believed, was the
chosen one of her host of admirers. Indeed,
as it was declared by the gossips, Cfor, be it
known. dear reader, even the little village
Of Stockdale was not exempt from this
scourge, it was an understood thing that at
some time not far distant, Morton Baxter
and Isabella were to be united for life. >
But the older and wiser folk said that Rob-
ert Marvin's daughter would never throw
herself away on such scapegrace as Bax-
ter. BE this as it may, however, he still
continued his visits to Mr.. Marvin's house,
and being an adept in the art of dissimula-
ton, he completely succeeded in binding
the eyes of both him and his daughter, as
to his real character-which he had been
careful should never be permitted to display
itself in their presence; SO that notwithstand-
ing he was spoken of as ''an unprincipled
villain, destitute of every vestige of honor
and morality" +" Isabella, judging solely from
what she had seen of him. believed the whole
thing to be a gross SANDER. But this state
of affairs was not destined to last forever.
A circumstance soon occurred to dispel the
illusion that had so long been lowering a.
round her.
About this time there came into the vii
lage young man, carpenter, named Os-
car Westbrook, He was quiet and unas-
suming, although by no means unsociable,
and soon became quite favorite with the
people of Stockdale He was warm-heart-
ed and generous to fault, always ready
and willing to lend helping hand to those
