TrsE PURET.r.V' LOVERS.


ny MARIAN DOUGLASS.
Drawn out like lingering bees, to share
The las. sweet summer weather,
Beneath the roddoning naples walled
Two Puritans together.
A youth and maiden, needing not
The woods which round them frightened,
Just conscious Of each others thoughts,
Half happy and hAif frightened.
Grave woro their browa, and few their words
And coarse their garb, and simple;
Tho maiden's very check seemed shy
To own its worldly dimple.
For stern the time; they dweH with Care;
And fear was Oft conner;
A sober April ushered in
The Pilgrims toilful summer.
And storm their creed; they tarriod horo
Mere dcsert-land sojourners;
They must not dream Of mirth and rest,
Gods humble lesson-learners.
The temples sacred perfume round
Tho!r weekday robes was cllnging;
Their mirth was but the golden bells
On priostly garments ringing.
But az to-day they softly talked,
That serious youth and maiden,
Their plaineet words strange beauty wore,
Like weeds with dcw-drops laden.
The saddost theme had something sweet,
The gravest something tonder,
While with slow steps they wandered on,
Mid summers fading splendor.
lie said, "Next week the church will hold
day Of prayer and fastlng;"
And then he stopped, and bent to pick
A white life-everlasting-
silvery bloom with fadoless leaves;
lie gave It to her, sighing;
muto confession was his glance,
Her blush mute replying.
'NIehctabel" lat last he apokc,)
"hy fairest one and dearest;
One thought is ever to my heart
The sweetest and the nearest.
You read my soul: you know my wish;
o, grant me it's fulhlling!"
She answered low, "If Heaven smiles,
And II my fathers willing"
No idle passion swayed her heart,
This quaint New England beauty!
Faith was the guardian of her life;
Obedience was duty.
Too truthful for reserve, she stood,
Her brown eyes earthwnrd casting,
And held with trembling hand the while
Her white hfe-eyorlasting.
Her sober answer pleased the youth
Frank, clear, and gravely cheerful;
lie left her ct her fathers door,
Too happy to be fearful
She looked on high, with earnest plea,
And Heaven seemed bright above her.
And when she shyly spoke his name,
Her father praiscd. her lover.
And when that night, she sought her couch
With head-board high and olden,
Her prayer was praise, her pillow down,
And all her dreams were golden.
And still upon her throbbing heart,
In bloom and breath undying,
few lne-eyerlasting flowers,S
Her lovers gift, were lying,
venuS myrtles. frcsh and seeen!
o Cupid's blushing roees!
Not on your classic flowers alone
The sacred light repones,
Though gentler care may shield your buds,
from north winds rude and blasting
As dear to Love those few, pale flowers
OF whito lfo-everlGsting.

Oh, 1t was heaven to me when 1 was able
TO break the cords that bound me to that
woman, without being dshonorablei
What achain l should have dragged through
life il had married heri I made vow
then, that if l wooed another woman, 1t
should be after the most prosaic method 1
could devise and in the broadest daylight
possible, My greatest temptation to break
tho vow came over mo in the pine woods,
that glorious night when we so opportune-
| ly overlook the old woman who was going
to SEQ her sister. If you had been cross
| then, it would have been great comfort to
mo. Can you forgive me?"
dori't Know that | entered in any SCI
form of words, but Steven seemed satisfied
and we walked homo together through the
foggy air, as lightly as if our great content
had transmitted it to golden haze.
As we passed Miss Althea Pratts little
house, she was out Of doors, struggling
| with great rose-crecper, which had fallen
in mass across her doorstep, and utterly
refused to be held up with one hand while
she nailed it to the door-post with the 9TH
| or. Steven won't in TO help her, and was
not whit cast down by her ungracious
| thanks.
"No one shall over cast stono at Miss
Althea in my hearing he said cher un-
| lucky rubbers shall be her shield and
| bucklcr, whatever venom she may distl
upon me-"
When we reached my house, Uncle Shu-
bael was just getting into his wagon to
dive off.
"Stay a bit," said Steven; 1--WE have
something to tell YOU"
Don't want to hear any of your news.
1 knew by your looks you had been put
ting your foot in it, Lucretias crying over
1t now. Women always cry when a per-
son of sense would laugh"
| He was well out 'of tho gate when he
called me to speak to him, and turning his
back 'squarely, thrust these, words at me
over his Shoulders:
! ssss'I don't want you to be altogether a bur
den to.Steven; So when you are married,
you may have that bit of pasture that,dove-
tails into the Frazar farm"

II Fl H
CENTRAL RAILROAD
OF 10 w a
Connecting st. Louis & st. Paul.
NOW NEARLY COMPLETED.
This road is built by company Of strong
capitalists, who have pushed their work
forward at a rapid rate.
ONE MILLION
OF THE
First Mortgage Bonds
of tine Company remain, which arc offered
at the very low rate of
90 AND ACCRUED INTEREST.

Among their advantages arc
| 1st The road is nearly finished, and the
cars are expected to run across the
State in 60 days.
%. The road has been built only of the
best material, the iron having been
manufactured expressly for it, at
much higher cost than that usually
paid.
Sd. 1t runs through most superb agri-
cultural country.
18th. 1t has great advantages in carrying
coal north and bringing lumber
south.
5th. The mortgage is only $4,000 per mile
while many other roads are bonded
to double this amount.
9th. The road is principally owned by
bankers and other capitalists, who
have invested Il large sum in its
construction, and who have every
reason to take care of its obliga-
tions.
18th. a First Mortgage for so small an a.
mount, upon road so near COM
pletion, and in such strong hands,
may well be considered perfectly
safe security.
