As long as the month OF May

DO YOU reckon the grand old masters,

Down the corridors OF time!
Oh. like strains of martial music,
The endless "thrum, fun, thumP
Makes me think of the man on dress parade
A-pounding the big bass drum.

With a flap, and thud, ana mss

Than fiteen minutes OF tins.
Perchance some humber poet
Was driven at rise OF SUN,
To face a carpet and collar q cluD,
But he didn't do it for 1un'
For carpet has power to quiet
These dreams of the upper air,
And make q man run riot,
And rip al &rave and tear

From the ba TX door nigh or tne Wlhuo"

Thetillage Of Weston consists of one
main 81 rect, whore stand the churches,
the tofn-hall, Post,oflice, and sundry
feeble minded stores. There are no.
BILE ellis, wide road, and few pretty
houses The better class of dwellings
are on the hillside beyong the railroad,
or TO the north, on the meadows. By
day a sleepy place; at night every house
is filed with city people sound asleep.
The people live here, but their hearts
. are in the town. Every boy looks for
ward to the time when he shall join the
pilgrims to the city and store. To go
into an Office or store in Boston is the
only thing for a young man to do. He
must have business in town or lose
caste.
Tom Maxwell had the misfortune to
be born in Weston, and early imbibed
its peculiar notions concerning life and
the thing to do. For instance, no young
gentleman must work with his hands; !;
ne must not go into retail store; he
must dress well, be able to take part in
the Lyceum debates, and he must not
on any account stay in the village dur
irg the day. Unless he could do all
this he had better remove to New York
or Chicago, and dwell among the unen-
lightened in outer darkness.
Tom had secured place as account
ant in a wholesale grocery house, and
was considered lucky fellow. He had
a small property of his own, and he had
fallen love. The Object had even said
she would some day wear his name. She
wore his diamond ring already.
Suddenly Tom Maxwell appeared at
the village station at II O'Clock in the
morning, and in an hour it was known
of all women that the wholesale grocery
concern had failed. The Object knew
it first, and straightway all knewit
OF course the engagement would
come to an immediate end. There was
NOT the least fuss about it. Weston
brides itself on its dignifed serenity I'M
der trials. 1t stopped, and that was the
end of it. The next day Tom had dia-
mond ring on storage at his rooms.
Thereupon the young man sat down
+o consider the situation. He was now
o. had a good general education, and
didn't know any thing very well. His
hands were soft; he knew how to dance;
he could sing tolerably and paint lit

the Weston young gentleman.
