Alice, quietly. "Every thing in the
world leaves room for hope excepting
death, you know. I sec your difficult
ty, and appreciate yonr confidence:
Tell me how I can help you, and |
will do it," ,..,.
In her own way, Mra. Inglesby told
her, and, af.er a good deal of qucs-
tioning, Alice arrived at knowledge
Of the service she was requested to
render. In brief: it was this-that
the invitation of Mrs. Reynolds
should be accepted by he, self, but
that Mrs. Inglcsby shonld decline go
ing an attack Of rheumatism from
which the colonel was suffer ing giving
her q convenient excuse for remain
ing at home In this case. Rose was
placed in an awkward dilemma.
Either she must be guilty of the
rudeness of allowing her sister-in.law
to make her first appearance In Nor,
thorpe society quite alone, or she
must change her mind and accept the
invitation. Alice having given her
consent, Mrs. Inglcsby went to place
the matter before tho yonng insur-
gent, and soon returned with sub
mission in due form. The invitation
wns. therefore, accepted; and, the
principal points being settled. all 9th.

and Vesuvius:
My soul to-day is far away
Stiling the Vesuvian Bay;
My winged boat, like bird afioat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote
Round purple peaks it sails, and seek
Blue inlets and their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw, through deeps
below,
A duplicated golden glow.
Far, vague, and dim the mountains
While on VeSuvius' misty brim,
With out-stretched hands,. the gray
smoke stands .ss-. -,,r-qss. .e.,

Float swift or slow from cliff to cliff:
With dreamful eyes my spirit lies
Under the wall of Paradise. -
Under the walls where swells and falls
The Bays deep breast at intervals:
AT peace lie, blown softly by,
A cloud upon the liquid sky. -.
The day, so mild, is Heavens own child,
With earth and Ocean reconciled;
The airs I feel around me steal
And murmuring to the murmuring keel.
Over the rail my hand trail ..
Within the shadow Of the SAIL
a joy intense, the cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy Incidence.

Her children, hid the cliffs amid

Or down the walls, with tipsy calls,
Laugh OIL the rocks like waterfalls.
The fishers child, with tresscs wild,
Unto the smooth, bright sand bcguiled.
With glowing lips sings as she skips,
Or gazcs at the far-of ships.
Yon deep bark goes where Traffic blows,
From lands of sun to lands of SHOWS
This happier one. its course is run
From lands Of snow to lands of sun.

moderately atfecliouatc greeting with
her.
"Am I early or latc?" asked the
latter, in her rich, sweet voice-the
voice of born contralto "You did
not mention the breakfast hour last
night, and ! am always lazy on the
least provocation."
You arc carly, as it chances" said
Rose, watching her with unconscious
envy, and almost wishing herself q
widow, that she might be able to
wear such an irresistible colt: "slam-
maXis not down yet, and breakfast is
not ready"
:And arc you always so carly?"
asked Mrs. IngIesby, glancing at n
hat and veil near by, which had ap-
parently been laid aside.
"Not always, but have been a lit
tie unwell this spring, and Dr.. Raw

so l try it occasionally. There is a
very pleasant sqnare near us, and it
is always deserted early in the morn
