A DOUBLE HARVEST.

A farmer sat at his kitchen door,
Smoking his MONDAY pipe,
And over the fields his eyes were cast,
Where the grain so golden ripe,
Nodded away
Through the summer day,
With shadows and sunshine hard at play.
Down by the gate the farmer saw
(And he chuckled low in gleeN
Two, who whispered together there.
"So!" said the farmer. 81 see
IfIguess Alright,
And their skies are bright,
There'll be harvesting soon with main ant
might
The weeks went by, and the old barn groanec
With the might of harvest store
But the farmer laughed, for we'll
There remained one harvest more,
Since Cupid had sown,
With grain of his own,
A crop that love must harvest aloue.
The farmer sat at his kitchen door,
When the evening meal was done,
And he laid kiss on his daughters brow,
And welcomed his new-found son;
And the harvest time,
With wedding bells chime,
Sang its days into merry rhyme.

BABY's INFLUENcE.-No man who
las not tried it understands how
restful it is to play with the baby
In the civilization Of our time
one of the commonest wants IS
something to beguile the time OF
one set of men, or while away the
cares of another set, from cares OF
business or politics or whatever
the ordinary work may be. 10
this numerous class, including both
the wcaried and the bored, we say
"Play with the baby" Not the
baby in arms, but the young ami
NAL man when it has arrived at
the age which in it's life matches
the time when puppy gamDois
foollishly, or the kitten plays with
it's tail. Who can tell how mucn
we miss by not knowing how TO
"play with the baby?" We are
always thinking that children are
noisy and rough, that they make
impertinent remarks, and leave
doors open, or bang them. just
so; but this is exactly why so
much pleasure is to be got out OF
them, if we try to rise to a COM
prehension of their nature and
feelings. It is not their fault II
| they are disagreeable to us, but
our own fault, and misfortune, too,
if we are dull TO all the beauty
and loveliness Of their charming
tricks and follies. Some unhappy
beings never know real childhood,
and they lcse great deal of lnno-
| cont pleasure in consequence.

my wondermcnt.
Aftera while Howard came--he,
too, with his features strangely
working.
"Sadie; come to Ruth" he said.
When opened the library door
[ started back, for there, sitting
side by side, as close as if they
were lovers, were my fathers
dear friend and my Ruthic. AS [
entered, Judge Morris rose and
took my hand in both his own.
His eyes were full Of tears, and
his voice faltered as he said :
"Miss Sadie, let me give you
fathers thanks. Through Gods
infinite mercy you have been the
means Of bringing me to my long
lost child"
All was soon explained. Judge
Morris had married early in life
a beautiful French girl, and after
some years an infant was born.
The mother died soon after, and
ali that was left to the bereaved
husband was his child. He had
in his employ a servant who had
lived with him a few years, and in
whom he had great confidence !;
bit after Q time be began to sus-
pect him Of dishonesty, and after
obtaining sufficient proof he taxed
him with it and discharged him.
That night his little girl was
missing. Rewards were offered,
but no clue to- his lost child could
be found. The cabinet containing
his wife's jewels was gone, too,
and it was conjectured that the
thief had fed to foreign country.
The bracelet with the jeweled
clasp which had attracted his at
tention on Ruth's arm, he imme.
diately recognized as one OF his
wife's ornaments.
He had spoken to Howard, as l
had noticed that night and, How
ards "business" the next day
was to the prison where Ruth's
supposed father was confined; and
on obtaining permission to see the
prisoner, my brother had gained
from him the confession that he
and Judge Morris's servant were
one and the same, and that the
child he had stolen for revenge
was the girl who bore the name
of Ruth Delmar. He had given
the bracelet to Ruth, and told her
it was her mothers.
AS Judge Morris paused, Ruth
raised her lustrous eyes, which
had been hidden on my shoulder,
and then, with one thrilling cry,
as if unable to be parted longer,
the nowly found parent and child
were clasped in each others
arms.
Ruth did not 60 back to school,
but went to her fathers home.
There, after a little while, How,
ard went, too. Judge Morris could
not consent to let his new found
daughter leave him, and the
young couple agreed to make his
home theirs.

FOUND.

"Young ladies, this is Miss Del
mar"
All eyes turned towards the
madame, as, leading a little dark
figure by the hand, she came
among Us. 1t is sn embarrassing
position to meet for the first time
the gaze Of fifty critical eyes; but
Miss Delmar bore it bravely. Then
and there l took a fancy to the
little thing with her sweet face
and great pleading eyes.
Ours was a fashionable school,
and Miss Delmar's dress was very
simple and of cheap material, but
it was worn with that indescriba-
bic grace which betokens the lady
and which no moro outside ele-
gancc can give.
l found | had not made a mis-
take in my quickly formed esti-
mate of her, and before long we
became the dearest of friends.
I noticed Ruth never mentioned
her parents, and that when the
other girls were eagerly inquiring
for. expected letters she was al
ways silent. So one day, l asked
her:
"Ruth, are you an orphan ?"
Instead Of answering, her dark
eyes filed, and putting ber arms
around my neck she burst into
tears. [ never asked her any
questions after that, for knew
there must be some sad story in
her life, and not for worlds would
I give her pain.
Time passed and the girls were
all preparing to 60 homo for va
cation-I with the others and
much to my joy, Ruth consented
to 90 with me. Ihad written and
asked papa, and he never having
refused NE anything in my life,
wrote back card of invitation.
We were homo. How good it
seemed to roam over our house
with a companion! I never had
had a sister, and my mother had
died, leaving me, little, lonely
girl of six, to be the only mistress
of "Ormsby Hail." as our place
was called.
I felt very glad when I saw that
papa was pleased with my friend
and Howard my brother, usually
so Indifferent to strangers, treated
her with the most marked court
esy.
AS the weeks glided by, began
to notice a strange change in
Howard. He, who had never
seemed to care for the society Of
ladies, began to make excuses to
be with Ruth and me, joining us
in our walks; and dropping his
beloved law books to take up the
croquet mallet.
Ruth's dark check had a bright
er tint at those times and, with
the romance of eighteen, [ at once
made up in my mind d love story
and brother Howard and my
friend were the "dramatis per
sonae." But my pretty dream
was shattered when one day Rutt
came to me with a very white
face, and said that she must leave
nee and return to school.

VOL. XXXV.
For the Freeman.
A True Story.

Among the hills of New England lived
Mr.. and Mrs. X. They were happily
married and had a fine family of children
among them an only daughter-the idol Of
her family. She was beautiful in form and
face, lovely in manners, affectionate and
self-sacriticing in disposition, of sparkling
intelligence, though without the higher
culture of town and school life.
At a very tender age her affections were
won by Il young man whose habits were
not the best he was addicted to drink.
Her people counseled her not to keep his
company, and she, with wisdom and decis-
ion superior to her years. acted upon
their advice.
A year or two passed by, and another
gentleman, not so many years her senior,
but with more culture and exceptionally
good bits-bcing both moral and indus
trious-iirst admired and then loved her
with all the ardor of his great nature, and
she as tenderly loved him in return.
lie asked her hand in marriage; but if
she married him she must leave her native
town to be with him. To this her fond
parents could never give their consent.
With self sacrificing regard for them, she,
after severe struggle with her affections,
yielded, as before, to their wishes.
Time passed on. She could not forget
the man who had so thoroughly and hon
estly won her heart. She longed to be
his.
A gentleman of property sought her ac-
quaintance and her heart. Her father
wished her to love and marry him Lore
him she could not. HARRY him she did.
But she was miserably unhappy. Her
marriage was to her red-hot cage from
which she longed in vain to escape.
Her nervous system became shattered
disease preyed upon her lovely form.
Fever of a typhoid type set in and her
physician pronounced her case hopeless
Her father and mother were frantic and
in despair. Her mind was on her former
lover, who was still unmarried. She
would call for him with all the power of
her feeble voice, 80 my dear Mr.. IL,
my dear. my dearest one." And in her
delirium she would call for him, my
dear Mr.. Il. Why does he stay from
mep Will he never Gomez"
Her husband, father and mother stood
by her side. 1t was perfectly heart-rend-
ing to hear her shrek in piteous cries for
one she loved but could not see. Specta-
tors burst into tears, and, sick at heart,
turned away from the wretched scene of
death and grief
AS death was approaching they sent for
Mr.. H. But it was too late for him
to reach her before her death. She died
muttering in her delrium, He will
never come. Oh! he will never come.
He will never come
o, how her parents wished they had al
lowed her so reasonable request. In
vain they sought for solace every year in
budding spring at the grave where lay all
that was left Of the precious form. Hands
were wrung and bitterest tears were shed
in vain. But pardon was sought from the
God the sainted daughter had learned to
love. And though neither father or
mother were ever assured that it was
granted, yet we will hope that the prayer
of the daughter, Lay not this sin TO their
charge" was not breathed in vain.
