grew quiet-Herbcrt sought IN

John listened quietly.

But you can give me your con.

With a look Of surprise, Her
bert withdrew-went down the
wide oak STAIRS, crossed the ter
races, whistling.
John rang the study, bell.
'Pompey, ask Miss Vanc to come
to me-
He turned faint at the sound OF
her light step on the velvet Of the
hall, yet fought off the weakness
successfully before she came in.
The pain remained but she saw
no sign of it.
She wore q dress Of blue, her
bronze curls clung about her shy
face, her pct greyhound, Caliph,

For 4 moment he did not speak
he felt tired with suffering. Her

crossed the room, and laying his
slender head upon his knee, look

What is all this that Herbert
tells me, Violct?' with forced
smile, u steady voice.
"He has told you? with q swift
blush.
"Told me what, Violet? Come
closer, little one, and let me look
into your face. What could he
tell me?'
THAT we love each other
She was on her knees besides
his chair, her blushing bright feat
ures hidden on his shoulder. She
could not see his face. His face ?
no, ah; no!
MY child, have you quite given
your heart to this young brother
Of mine so soon ? 1t is but q little
while that you have known him.
Utterly! A little ?-but it seems
q long while that we have been
together. I have been-L am so
happy with him guardy!'
'Bl,t you have been happy with
me-have you not?'
sAh tiat is different
A little silence. He quietly and
forever put away all hope.
Yes, very different, my Violet.
Kiss me, little one-only once.
There; thank you dear. Go now
and say to Herbert; that I give
you to him, and to the life you
have chosen as his wife,
She slipped away like a beam
of light. But Calipb, for the first
time in his life, when permitted,
did not follow her. lie pressed
closer to Johns knee, and uttered
apitiful whine. Gaining no atten-
ton, he joined the silence of the
stately room, easing bis troubled
heart by the employment of lap
ping up, with his slender tongue
the tears that fell on the folded
hands Of the master Of Lakehome.

THE POETS DREAM.

Near the margin Of Il liver,
Meath weeping Willows shade,
Lay l poet sweetiy dreaming
Ola land, far exceeding
Any Fancy ever made.
Through his mind there swept vision
Clear and bright As snu-sct beam;
Ol u woman silent sitting,
In barque Of airy lightness,
In the middle of the stream.
As the current floatel onward,
So the airy barQue went on
In its careless grace and beauty
On the bosom of the river,
Softly, swiftly and was gone.
On waking he bethought him
OF the vision in his dream,
And half turned him round 10 view it
In,itS careless grace and beauty
Resting on the crystal stream.
But like many other fAncies,
II had vanished from his sight,
Down the sparkling, flowing river,
With TIE silence and the fectness
OF a fading gleam Of light.
This is not 4 dream, he murmur'i-
I have known being fair,
Bright and glorious in her beauty
As the stars that shine above us!
Aye, by far more soft and rare
On Lile'S river We were floating,
Gently, Happily along,
When from out of my tender keeping
She was saatched, Without warning,
By wild wave fierce and strong.
Life to me has since been gloomy
0'ersny soula sadness CAME
And Pm ever sadly dreaming
OF the one I've jus: behollen
IN NY yision-'tis the same.

For months he was much engross
cd by business, then he found q
spare opportunity to visit the
Westerly Academy.
| The matron received him with
dignity. But he had not much
time tc spend on ceremony.
4 should like to sec the little
girl he said, and | should like to
talk to her alone'-loolzing at his
watch.
Madame stared, and withdrew.
\ few moments, and the door
swung open again. 4 girl Of seven
teen, with clustering curls, and the
trailing robes OF womanhood,
swept softly toward him.
He looked into the oval face,
chastc as L flower, and saw the
Iineamcnts ofthe child's portrait.
'But-, he stammered.
You thought l was little girl,
Mr.. Steele? ? No; papa thought me
only q child when he died, but |
was fifteen
She had strange, sweet digni-
t.. She was utterly lovely. And
John Steele was strangely con-
fused.
The train he had meant to take
went by without him, the convcr-
sation with Violet so deepcncd
and broadened-she showed such
frank happiness in his company.
4 have wanted to sec you so
much, Mr.. Steele, she said. That
note, SO kindly worded to the com.
prehension Ola little child, made
me love you
Johns swelling heart came into
his throat, but the arllcss eyes,
sweet as heavens truth, met his
calmly.
1 am so old and ugly, she docs
not think that | have 4 heart ne
thought, the blood rcccding again
and leaving an aching void. j am
her guardian-lhat is all. I must
not forget
1t was decided that she was to
go TO Lakehome. The inmates of
the academy parted from her rs if
they loved her. But it did not
need the beamlng looks oftcachcrs;
or the clinging embraces Of the
pupils, to show John what 4 trea-
sure she was. lie was lost in u
kind Of maze for days.
She stole quietly as sunbeam
into her place at Lakehome. She
brought flowers into the house,
she opened the grand piano, she
sung to its music the sweetest
words. Finding that she had
been taught to ride, John gave her
the little brown pony, Barley, who
had hitherto consumed his useless
| days in idleness; and every night
as he drove out from the city,
Barley and his mistress came to
meet the buggy.
So fair the sweet face under the
plumet cap, its frank eyes nearly
drove wild her guardian. If he
but told the truth, he knew that
he should acknowledge himself her
slave.
The summer went by. Winter
came.
will you stay here, Violet, OF
shall we 80 into the city for the
season?
(Which would you like?'
i have no choice but to satisfy
you
Then, we will stay here-it is
home. And we will have company,
and keep holidays-mako time
fly, in short. How l love this old
mansion do you know it guar
dy?'
lie did not look at her, though
she twinod her little hands over
his arm.
Don't you? she asked.
He did not say that of late it had
been a paradise. He responded
indifferentIy-turned away with q
white lip, and choking in his
| throat.
The weeks few by-Christmas
came. The house was full Of COM
pany-smiling matrons, gay girls,
indulgent papas, favorite sons and
brothers. 1t was q happy time.
Alas ! Alas that earthly happi-
ness is short.
