POETRY.
The Latter Rains.

(. from mirk midnight to the dawn,
Waking, l heard the wild wind-rout,
With sobbing wall and gusty shout,
Sweep through the elms that skirt the lawn.
Dim breaks the morn along the crags
That eastward loom above the sea,
y And long professions sail a-lee,
OF vapory forms, like weird bags.
Now in one sheeted food it rains:
But the slant wind, with headlong force,
Catches it in impetuous course,
And dashes on the trembling panes.
Anon the sun looks through the rift,
But pallid as his sister moon
When CLOVIS on high nights sober noon,!
Chasing through heaven the flying drift.
At length, uprising toward his hight,
Majestic moves the orb of day,
And subject nature owns his sway,
And the spent storm attests his might.

would now be added to the false history of
her lite, on which 10, most imaginative of
biographers was always engaged. For many
years romantic incidents had been growing
around her uneventful life, and 10 would
have long since raised her to the rank of the
most heroic heroine that had ever been, had
she not been checked by the Christening
criticism of the more prosaic Let
ty. This romantic chronicle was the great
delight of the schoolreom, and on the whole,
a not unpleasant torture to the victim. Yet
when Orlando suggested a glass of ale Or
Thomas handed the strawberries, Miss Tubb
trembled to think what was passing in her
pupil mind; who shook her curly head at
the governess, and burst out laughing at the
surprised expression of Thomas. This con-
templative young man was still more sur
prised when Miss Jeanne, who had been in
dulging herself with trifing talk
began to question him with becoming gravity
about the Oxford colleges. Was not this too
fast and that too slowP She must find one
where exactly the right amount of encourage
ment was given to athletics. Could man
row and read? Could he read and hunt once
week ? When Thomas had answered several
questions of the kind, Orlando began to
| laugh and asked her if she were going to the
university.
"No,' she said sedately, "but l have a
brother at Eton between me and the girls"
''The girls" muttered Orlando under his
breath-and presently asked her, almost diff
| fidently, if she arranged everything.
Yes she answered, raising her eyebrows
| little: 81 am the eldest and l have to do
things"
Then she turned to the governess and asked
her if she and the girls would join them later
on the lawn. Miss Tubb murmured her
| thanks, blushed under JOS eye and looked
appealingly at Lefty, who got her out of the
room.
"She is quite invaluable" said Miss Jeanne,
gravely, to the young men; and then sud-
den flush came over her face, and her mouth
| was round as a child's as she said, "Oh, DO
you play lawn tennis 2"
In few minutes she was ready, clad in a
suitable gown, and armed with iher favorite
racquet, and was quickly absorbed in tire,
mendous struggle with Orlando. She laughed
