THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
TWO HOMES.

Two homes among the mountains stood,
And both had goodly lands;
One looked upon the inland fields;
One watched the white beach sands,
And caught from south and caught fror
north
A view Of misty hills,
And river-t!lrcaded valleys, flecked
With busy toiling mills.
One house stood forth as If it scOrn'd
The shrinking orchards shade;
And straight and trim from door to gate
The smooth brick walk was laid.
No flowers bloomcd; the lawn was smoOtl
AS velvet from the loom;
And down the lane some poplars stood
In stiff and stately gloom.
The robin at hisperl sang
Among the cherry trees:
The very corn-llelds seemed to hate
The free and easy breeze.
The cows were Of superior breed,
The horses strong and sleek:
The good wife-evera at her work
A woman sad and meek.
The man himself, an honest man,
Whose children knew the birch;
handwriting, sober, fair in deal,
And always prompt at church.
The other home, through bloom and bough
Played bO-peep with the sea;
Round coIumned porch the jasmine sweet
Crept green and fragrantly.
The birds came fearlessly to stay,
And white hands, dett and fairy,
To warbled song and step Ofhcalth,
Made butter in the dairy.
The simple rooms were sweet and rich
With glcanings from the wood,
The hills, the sea, and everything
OF beauty and of good.
The poets book, the artists gem,
Each for its own high sake
And the gladstone music everywhere
Which happy children make.
One man his austcre prcccpts held
Fen higher than his gold
Yet lived. beneath his thrift and calm,
Impoverished and cold.
The other shed an influence sweet;
One felt. nor knew, the thral;
'or one loved God in church and creed,
And one loved GOD IN ALL.

Stephen Appleton's Wife.

When Stephen Appleton had livel
some thirty five years bachelor, hi
bcthought him that it would be well tc
get married, and looked about him &C
cordingly for wife. Had Others
looked for him. they would probably
have chosen q self-containcd, decorous
person past thirty, and would not have
been particular as to looks, inasmucl
as Stephen was no beauty himself, ant
never had been. He, however, greatly
to the surprise of every mortal who
knew him, walked up the church
aisle one Sunday morning, with a pref
ty girl upon his arm, and, after the ser
vice, introduced her to his friends
among the congregation as his wife
She looked a great deal more like his
daughter, and blushing, smiling, low
ing little creature, who must, so far
have had happy life, to have brough,
out of it so many happy dimples.
SO she had, indeed. A halfdozen
brlght-eyed sisters, and mother who
was only an older sister in years, had
cried bitterly when Stephen Appleton
had marched off from their country
home with one of their number on his
arm, and had gone so far as to ask
each other confdentially, "What lilly
could have seen in that old .fellou r.
And certainly it seemed almost mys,
terry that such solemn wooing should
have prospercd with such merry girl
-wooing without many Of those ac-
cessories which women hold SO dear,
of praises and caresses.
"Probably poor lilly thought they
were all to come after marriage. "He's
not handsome, perhaps lilly would
say; "but he's very preposscssipg, and
he has such a mind!"
And then it seemed to her that he
needed some one to look after him, to
sew on his buttons, tic his cravat, and
properly prepare his tea, which he had
custom of making wretchedly fol
himself in his dusty little study.
So she left home and love, and
plunged into the mGlstrom of welded
life with q man who had so strongly
imbued himself with the idea that wO-
man was his inferior, that he thought it
waste Of intellect and time to love
one overmuch, or to study her tastes
and fancics for moment if they con-
ficted with his own.
She, the inferior, had, on the contra
ry, said to herself, II must try to
adapt myself in every way to Stephen
and had thought also that she would
never find happiness in anything which
did not please him. She had joyfully
accepted all his invitations to weariful
lectures, and refused to enjoy her ia
vorite pastime, the polka. when she
discovered that he disapproved of it.
And now, in Ler plain little home, she
and smilingly took up the
dull routine Of woman's household
