Destiny.

DeSthhys
Had I have met the long ago,
When Life was in it's morning glow,
Mine might have been harpy fate
IT'S Low too late! IT'S now too late
Or II the tide could backward turn,
Or il the fire again could burn,
still nigh, pray, still might wait.
For that which have found too late
or what avail that now we meet,
when Hope is in his winding sheet
When skies are gray and leaves are sere,
when day declines and night is near!
or what avail our idle tears,
Above the graves Of the dead years.
For though Grief struggles to the last,
She wins but ashes from the Past
With bitter cries We seek the light,
And turn 20 Heaven our wastofOl sight;
In vain; fof who shall bid arise
Loves April moon in autumn skicsf
Our souls are one. but we are twain.
And evermore will 20 remain,
Till Tine shall opo that furthest gate.
Where Death drives back the hounds Of Fate.
For thoe and me for us alone.
Tho agony's too deep for moan;
Others have found the shining mark,
But We have wandered in the dark
Love smiled aud gave us q. our birth
Drink from his goblet Of great worth;
But Grief, wan-visagcd, stood by him,
And fast her tears tell o'er the brin
Oh swect within thy sadden1d cyes
I see the ghosts Of tears and sighS;
Si-hs for the joys We have not seen,
And tears Of Love that might have boen.
Clasp hands and pray, for there is ono
Who can undo what Fate hath done;
Clasp hands, and pray whate'cr heties
Death may unite what Life divides

II should say that it was q very

Though, to be frank, considering the
object of Jennie's visit, prefer not to
see her. And I must say that | think
she would have shown more sense and
delicacy if she had stayed away"
"Your cousin is very lovely girl,
\
Mr.. Imprudence, and won't be likely to

~ don't doubt it in the least. But,
for all that, she won't suit Inc for wife,

GLOW do you know that, you conccit-

bringing his cane down upon the aoor,
with startling emphasis.
Common sense teaches me thas no
marriage can be happy one that docs
not spring from mutual love. And on
one thing | am resolved, that | will
never marry for mercenary motives

"I am sorry to disobey you, uncle,

thought you were out on your wedding
tour !"
"No, indeed never saw the man un'
til he got into the stage at P
But, really, he is the finest looking
man that ever saw, and so agreeable
Who is he ?"
ooh, I'll introduce you when you
come down stairs. You'll have only
time to dress. Mind and look your
prettiest.'
And with roguish shake of her
finger at her friend, Nellie ran away
to see about supper.
If Jennie did not look her prettiest,
she certainly looked very lovely as she
entered the supper room, her linen
suit exchanged for fresh, soft mus
lir, whose simplicity and purity were
relieved only by the violet colored
ribbons in the hair and at the throat.
Russell had also taken great pains
with his toilet, as could be seen by his
spotless linen and carefully arranged
hair.
The pause that followed Jennie's
entrance was broken by DIr. Hunt,
who, in response to a meaning glance
from his wife, said
Russell, allow me to introduce you
to your cousin Jennie Miss Carleton,
your cousin, Russell Wilder
The embarrassment which followed
the blank, astonished into which the
announcement threw the parties, 60
unexpectedly made known to each
other, was quickly dispclled by the
turn that was given TO it by their host
and hostess.
II suppose you'll want to book your
self for the next stage p said Mr..
Hunt slyly to Russell, who had been
taken into his friends confidence.
"And you," said his wife, turning to
Jennie, Il don't suppose anything
could tempt you to remain, now that
you have seen that hateful, disagreos-
BE"
"Nellie !" interrupted Jennie, Grim
soning as she remembered her words.
well, l won't then. But you must
let me laugh Just to think of you
both running in the same direction,
and to the same place !"
The laugh that burst from Nell:e's
lips was too contagious to be resisted,
even by those at whose expense it Was
raised
This merrimcnt was followed by a
general good feeling, and a pleasanter
tea party never gathered around So
cial board.
We need hardly say that Russell
did not take the stage the next morn
ing, nor did Jennie seem at all dispos-
ed to cut short her visit on account of
her cousins unexpected appearance.
When they did 60, they went as
they came, together.
Mr.. Wilder's astonishment was only
equalcd by his delight, on looking out
of the window, to see the two walking
up the path toward the house arm in
arm, and apparently ON the best of
terms.
AS for Russclland Jennie, they seem
ed to regard the unexpected meeting
as an Indication of their manifest
destiny accepting it as such, much
to the JOY of their uncle, whose darl-
lag wish was accomplished in the mar
riage of the two, thus made happy in
spite Of themselves.
