yer illagree, each shrub, 61wever lowly, wears
diamond crown. And as the sun bursts through
the white face of the Clouds the snow crystals CLEAN
and flash and giisten IN the glorious light like jew
els, each one imprisaning rainbow. Every white
feathery plume seems setwith rubies andsapphires
while diamonds CLEAN everywherel It all seems
like foreshadoWing of the purity and glory Of the
City of golden streets and peary gates
But forgive my long DEPRESSION. The trio d
persons, on the piazza, are tWo ladies and gentle
man. In the former, we recognize our old friends
Perle and Daisy And this is the beautiful home
of Capt. Will, Herbert But see, coming down
the road is sleigh, which, fit were few shades
more diminutive, might serve as the chariot o.
some Elm queeni. 1t is drawn by pair Of splen
did horses, black as Erebus gaiE decorated with
crimson ribbons and tinking silver bells.
"Hurah there is our sleigh now for glorious
ridel Come, my dears, let's be of, and enjoy
this bright morning" ..'
Certainly Will; you will find US no hggards, "
answered gentle Perle
And with warm, soft hoods and fur cloaks, snug
ly ensconced amid buffalo robes, they go merrily
on, the sleigh bells making sweet music in the
clear morning air.
Oh how truly exhilirating and inspiring is 8
ride over the snowy hills, when the warm blood i
coursing rapidly through the veins, bringing bright
roses to the cheek and deeper coral to the lips,
a spirit of joyousness to the heart, which sends
forth rs of sparkling laughter from its ever gush
ing fountain.
Since last we looked on Daisy Leitner, she has
grown sad and subdued her face is no longer
bright and sparkling, but pale and spirituelle.- :
Her eyes no longer beam with coquetry, but resem.
bic violets dipped in dew. After her cruel words
had driven the devoted Chisholm from her side,
for weeks and months, hope whispered, "he viii
return he cannot stay longaway." But came
not, and she only heard that he had sailed fol
Europe, to be absent an indefinite period Of time.
But s'hope deferred, maketh the heart sick )" 30
at last, she gave up watching and hoping, and
tried to forget, though in vain. ,
Campbell has said that coming events cast their
shadow before. Then to Judge by the meniment
that flows from her lips, great joy is in store fo
Daisy. Indeed, the whole party seemed imbued
with spirit of fun they talk, they laugh, and
ever and anon ringing pealS Of laughter, mingle
with the tingling bells. !.
But suddenly, they grow serious The merry
jest is hushed upon the lip. The horses begin to
feel the excitement of run in the Clear cold air
they grow restive, hard to control A firm hand
is on the reins, but he cannot hold them back; !;
faster, faster they go - they dash madly on they
cannot be stopped in their impetuous career At
the height of their speed quick bend in the road
hides from view vehicle containing three gentle
men. They meet suddenly, the vehicles crash g.
gainst each other, and become locked. There is
great excitement; the sudden shock has thrown
the ladies out Into the snow Will, of course, hur-
ries to the rescue Of Perle. his darling wife, but
quick as flash, one Of the gentlemen in the Sec
ond vehicle, is by the side of Daisy Leitner. As
he bends over her, he starts with astonishment,
and beam of gladness o'erspreads his face, as he
recognizes her. She has tainted he raises her
in his arms holding her tendery to his bosom, and
whilst the others are busted about disentangGng
the vehicles he steals kiss from those pale lips,
and whispers dear, dear Daisy, would I could say,
my own Daisy!"
Who blamed him reader, for that stolen kiss I
Not L I'm sure.
