THE LITTLE FROCK.


BY EMILY HERMANN.
A common light blue muslia frock t
Is hanging on the wall,
But no one in the household now
Can wear dress so small.
The sleeves are both turned inside ont,
And tell Of summer wear
They seem to wait the owners hands
Which, last year, hung them there.
Twas at the chiIdren's' festival,
Her Sunday dress was soiled--
You need not turn ii from the light
To me it is not spoiled
A sad. and yet pleasant thought
Is TO the spirit told,
by this dear little rum7led thing.
With dust in every fold.
Why should men weep that TO their home.
An angels love is given
Or that, before them, she is gone
To blessedness in Heaven?

LETTER III.
FROM HENRY HOWARD TO ADELAIDE.


Adelaide again my own Adelaide
how needlessly have we been wretchedl
1t is now night, or would seek your
presence, to uufold to you the great
mystery which your letter has at once
made clear to me. Happy am | tha;
this affair is no longer enveloped in an
impenetrable mist. The letter to which
you refer. together with the g satin
bound package was the penmanship
of my sister Lille Guileess girl
how little was she aware Of the cruel
injury that fatal stlove-letter" was to
inhct on her brother, whom she SO ten
derly loved /! In my letter to you of last
eve, you will recollect that wrote Of
still retaining in my possession frag-
ments Of her tales and sketches. The
: love-letter" which so lucklessly fell
into your hands, was a portion of the
only romance which she ever wrote for
publication. She sent il to me for cor
rection, artlessly adding, that as she
was unacqnainted with the language Of
love, she wished it to undergo the su-
pervision- Of one more experienced. At
the same time she earnestly required
me not to allow you to see it, as her
delicacy and modesty were extreme,
and she had formed exalted opinions OF
your intellectual requirements. AS
her every wish was dear and sacred to
me, | complied with this latter demand,
and observing imperfections in the style
and too vehement ardor Of the a's love-
letter." ] forwarded to her my correc-
ted copy retaining the original, which
has cost US both so many tears. She
was the Alice Who knows but that,
on her departure from this world, her
kind and sympathizing spirit learned its
unwilling and unwilling agency in our
separation, and that it could not rest
till she had inclined our hearts TO each
other Shall we not henceforth vener-
ate, as we have loved, that loving spirit.
And are we so soon TO meet, my beloy-
ed Adelaide; so soon TO sit dowu again
together in our quiet sitting room,
around the same table. and look out to-
gether though the leafless elms to the
glowing. stars. May the ''winter soon
pass from your heart" and the spring
time, with its flowers, come to thee
We will stand by the moss-rose tree, as
you dreamed, and | will tell you, indeed
how happy am in your return. The
cloud from my heart has risen and dis
persed. Life to both Of US will be
again bright and beautiful. And, my
Adelaide, if ever again either Of us have
the shadow Of a doubt Y the one of the
other, though we may imagine we have
.'con6rmation strong as proof of holy
writ" let it, not convince US! Let us
not cherish it tillthe going down Of the
sun and the rising Of the same but NUT
ually unfold it, Happy for US had we
learned this sooner. Happy yet for US
if we for get it not. ! shall see you at
ten in the morning With impatience !
await the passing Of the time. God
