The Old Homestead.

What endearing recollections gather
around the scenes of early days "Thc
orchard, the meadow, the deep-tangled
wildwood" where free and unfettered as
the mountain air our lightsome footsteps
were wont to rove-the rustic church, to
which, with the returning day of peace
full, holy rest, led by the hand of parental
affection, we used to repair-but, above
all the home of our domestic enjoyment,
the sanctuary Of the family cissie, whore
under the guidance of fathers counsel
and mothers love, we passed the sunny
hours Of life's sweet springtlme--al rise
in grateful, fond remembrance, full of
purest delight and terderest associations.
And these "reminiscences lose none Of
their interest from the circumstances that
the same spot which was consccrated to
hope and gladness was in the onward
fight Of time, destined to be visited by
disappointment and sorrow. 1t was not
only the abode of the fondly loved, but
there we witnessed the departure of the
early lost. There, too, father blessed
US with his dying breath, and babe US
meet him in the better land. There a
mother looked and smiled upon US, to
look and smile no more Sadness and
joy, commingled thus, ballow the place
where we enjoyed their fellowship in life
and where they now repose in their I'M
broken'sience of the sepulchre rest.
Who would not fain nraserve these
cherished domains from vandal hands
who would not prize the privilege Of there
passing the evening hours Of life, and Of
there being gathered to bis fathers =? Or,
if this must be denied, at least Of being
permitted to return at times to the
peaceful scenes of youth, with the cheer
ing reflection that they are still identified
with us--and that we can still claim
them as our own?

He looked down at her, but for mo-
ment he did not speak Then he said:
IF could always have you near me
it would be an easy matter to be good"
Cecelia's heart was revealed to her,
She the promised wife of that good man,
loved this reckless, unbelieving man,
who for ten years had led Bohemian
life, standing beyond the pale of respect
able society. What sinful wretch she
thought herself. She would never speak
to him again, and, scarcely knowing
what she was doing she turned to fly
Another minute and Vance Varian
was startled by cry.
Cecilia in her blind fight, had run
near the edge of the cliff, missed her
footing, and she was now hanging to the
shrubs that grew some feet below There
was no rope or anything else about with
which he could save her. He must
descend those jutting rocks.
"Don't, don't"' came family from
Cecilia, as, looking up, she saw what he
was about to do. Il am ready to die,
but you are not"
Il His only answer was for her to keep
firm hold a few moments longer; and
few moments longer, fairly hanging be-
tween sky and sea, his arms were around
her.
And now came the periIous ascension,
during which every moment seemed an
eternity.
Cecilia helped Vance bravely by catch
ing at every rock and shrub, but his
strength was fast failing him.
"Quick raise yourself" he gaspcd,
as they neared the top
Cecilia drew herself out of his arms,
safe on the cliff once, but before she
could look around there was a rolling
away of rock, a loosing of shrubs, and
Cecilia, love you; pray for nc
my God p
She turned in time to catch one
glimpse Of his white face, as he disap-
peared down the awful depths, and
throwing up her arms with a groan of
agony, she fell face downward, on the
greensward, and the Cecilia Ogden that
Vance Varian knew and loved never rose
again.
In her stead rose a calm, sorrowful
woman.
The pillars of the church said that the
minister's daughter had change of
heart.
She went about quietly doing her
duty toward her father and his parish
toner's in manner which even they could
not help approving.
All it was well that the heart of
Cecilia was revealed only to her Maker
and herself, for in its secret chamber was
enshrined name that never passed hor
lips, and that was why they could never
bring her to marry, and why Mr..
Graham got him wife at la st from the
next county; dumpy, CHEEKY little
woman, who always wondered what her
husband could ever have found in
Cecilia Ogden's pale, sad face and visit
eyes, to make him seek her for wife.

A PORTRAIT.

An autumn face, half gray, half rosy,
And tluttering like an autumn posy,
With hueless stripes of fading hair
A firm, sweet mouth, whose utmost bliss is
To drink the light Of chldren's kisses,
Half dreaming of the years that were;
Soft looks that melt all eyes that meet her,
So something purer, something sweeter,
So kind they are and debonair
A life whose silent day has wasted,
And lett uudreamed-of and untasted
The fiuits of all extreme desire;
A matron-life whose seemly fashion
No frantic hopes, no scathing passion
Has worn with tears or scanned with fire !;
A life so calm that when it passes
Its fame must be as breath on glass is,
And in a stainless mist expire.

DoN'T BIZ Too CRuIcAL. Whatever
you do, never set up for critic. We
do not mean newspaper one, but in
private life, in the domestic circle, and il
will do you harm--if you object to being
called disagreeable. If you don't like
any ones nose, or object TO any ones
chin, don't put your feelings into words.
If anytonc's manners don't please you,
remember your own. People are not all
made to suit one taste, recollect that. -
Take things as you find them, unless you
can alter them. Even dinner, that
is swallowed, can not be made any better
Continual fault-inding, continual criti-
cism Of the conduct Of this ono and the
speech Of that one, the dress Of the
other and the opinions Of t'other, will
make homo the unhappiest place under
the sun.
