Il Is years ago since the plsymAies true
tripped through green meadows and
shady groves. It seems but I delightful
vision to think Of the tiny feet that crept
out Of shoe and stocking, and hid 90 ely.
ly from mothers eyes, and Of childish
vows breathed BY tender childish life. The
world seemed butt beautiful panorama
fitting before the eyes Of black and eyes
Of blue. Years pass on: Katie Lee and
Mile Gray are thrown far apart In SOC
ial life; an occasional glimpse Of 0 n
other sometimes brings . pain 70 the
heart Of each, and then a silent wish for
the sweet summer days Of childhood.
Blue eyes have their little story TO tell.
Mile Of the blue eyes, has 3 tall slender
WilloWy form, soft winning ways, dainty
rosebud Of 4 mouth, shutting over the
Whitest Of pearls, and eyes that cause many
q gallant heart TO ache. Do not blame
her for each glance Of the eye, or wave Of
the white hand; perhaps Il Ia studied; per.
haps the tinted rosebud In the soft
hair was not placed by = careless
Indifferent hand; the perfect suit may
have been chosen with the mere thought
Of effect, but 1t Is done up 80 gracefully
we cannot but admire it.
Gail Hamilton was provoked at Avis,
in the story Of Avis, for standing against
the crimson curtain unconSeiot1ly. The
crimson curtain was 80 becoming to her
complexion, but she was perfectly uncon.
scious Of it. Just so with our Mile; tits
only the work OF an instant TO fall on her
knees, clasp her hands over the back Of 4
chair and drop her pretty head upon
them, but the very folds Of her soft black
dress fall about her 90 unconscious,

for the little dark eyed poet who Is 80
hard to win, and cannot be moved out Of
his provoking composure by any amount
Of pretty compliments. "He is very
small and Insignificant at any rate"
thinks Mile, "aud yet I wonder why It
is his very indifference interests me.
Now it ia too provoking that foolish

mired." Bot sometimes when the $50
ciety vail" 10 snatched of, and Mile is
alone with her God, there Ia a very sad,
weary look In the blue eyes; when the
white face Is hid in the slender hands
and the tears drop from between the I'm.
gers. Would any one call that dull,
weary pain, that unspeakable longing for
something her life cannot give, an ache
for effect. The world Is & very selfish
world, and some would say, "she we'll de.

eyes | pause for one moment; remember
those dear old days when to be lambs Of

and desire of two childish hearts. Con.

be nothing but withered leaves you will
have to lay at the feet OF the Master, or
fresh, bright flowers plucked from a true,
