ROMANCE OF A DONKEY.

JEANNE LEE and Tommy Gray were
little boy and girl babies together, school
mates, friends, aud But let me first tell
of their babyhood. sp~w - -
Their parents were warm friends, 20
the children had always been together.
Tommy, being older, assumed guardian
ship over his little playmate which was
very pretty to contemplate from grown
up point of view He had pet donkey,
and it was his delight to put JEANNE upon
Flora's back, while hesValked by her side,s
holding her hand, that She might not fall.
After a while he considered it safe for her
to ride behind him a Ia pillion. This was
delightful. Flora had habit of throwing
them off every few minutes, which might
have been unpleasant, except that it af-
forded Tommy an opportunity to rush to
the side Of his playmate, aud ask earnest
ly, care you hurt, Jeannie?" When,
however, she would laughingly assure
him she was unharnned, he would really
feel disappointed, for it would have given
him so much pleasure to take care of her,
and tear up his pocket-handkerchief to
bind up broken limb in the manner des-
cribed in books; but Jeannie was persist
emily strong and whole, for fall from lit
tie Flora's back was not much. One day,
when these young people were ten and
eleven years of age, they were rambling
through the woods, first on and then off
the donkeys back, according tothet little
animals mood sitting down under big
pine-tree, upon the carpet which we al
ways find under pine-trees, made Of the
dry brown tassels which fall and fall and
pile up around the trunks, and through
which the winter-greens and princess

"Jeannie," said Tom, "did you ever
see dead donkey!"
"No, never, i am sure. But what
makes you ask me such funny question,
Tom ?"
"Oh, nothing; only I heard father say
one time that no one ever did see such q
thing, because donkeys never died. I'm
mighty glad ofsit, too sforitswould make
me feelaWful sorrysifs Floras should die. "
"I should too, Tom. / should cry just
as much as if-you died Wouldn't I,
Flora dear!" And she threw her arms
round the animals neck.
Flora stood patiently, submitting to the
caress, her eyes looking mild inquiry at
her young mistress. JEANNE petted and
kissed her, and Tom sawtears in the little
girls eyes. - A "A "a - =

"But, mamma, don't you think he is q
good boy? Wouldn't you like to have me

Jeannie asked this in timid, anxious
way, thatlshowed she did feel interested
In the matter her mother and father had
often playfully spoken to each other OF
the probability of such match resulting
from the firm childish affection which
had grown up between them but wishing
to keep her daughters mind entirely free
from all such thoughts, she said:
r.. You can tell Tommy not toltalk about
it any more, and youcbe just yourself
again-only little JEANNE Lee"
A few months after this romantic Incl
dent, JEANNE was running over to find her
playmate one day, when she suddenly
came upon him leaning dejectedly against
tree, with tears streaming down his face:
1 '.Whatis the matter, Tommy p DO tel

The boy started, and de-brushing away
the tears tried to say, carelessly :l~

JEANNE felt that her heart was broken
by the loss of the pet, and Tommy's grief
added another straw to crush her. So,
forgetting her mothers advice, she cried ::
'Oh, Tommy, please, don't cry so hard |;
it makes me feel awfully! Now listen to
me. You know, if I am going tobe your lit
tie wife you ought to let me comfort you
now. Won't you, Tommy
This little appeal was made so modestly
and earnestly that the boy looked up and
allowed himself to be comforted.
Years passed away. The boy and girl
were separated. He went to school, and
she was taken abroad by her parentsto
.beseducatad. For long time esletters were
terchanged,u but gradually they dropped
off altogether. At last JEANNE was on
her way home. A storm arose and the
vessel was wrecked. Nearly all on board
were lost. Jeannie, however, escaped,
but her parents were both lost. Her first
impulse, on reaching her native land, was
to visit the scenes of her childhood. She
went back to the old home, and, in spite
Of the sad changes, it was q pleasure
to wander about among the old haunts.
Tommy had been SO closely connected
with her childhood that now, ofycourse,
he was sbrought TO her mind very forcibly.
Here they had made their little garders !;
here they had built little house OF
branches, and called it their home; and
SO ON through many childish remin-
iscences. She wandered on toward the
place where hs had made the promise.
She wondered where he was now, and if
he had forgotten all that. AS she drew
near the place she was startled to see q
