Berthilda's Offer.

Mr.. Flint had the reputation of being as
hard IA his name. Certainly he was a
crusty sort OF old gentleman, with dis
agreeable habit OF telling what he consId-
cred To be the plain truth TO every one. As
every one did not at once bow low and
say: "Mr. Flint you are perfectly right, y
this habit OF frauhness had brought him
into a great many quarrels with his friends
and relatives, so tina. at last the only one
OF his own blood with whom he was on
speaking terms was his orphan niece. Ber-
thilda, who kept house for him; TO whom
he was unusually kind, and who. believed
him TO be modern Solomon.
She had never once contradicted him.
When he told her that the FlInts were gem
orally good-lookng. but that she took ait
er her mothers family. who were oil "a
plain as pike stafis, she answered, "Its,
Uncle. but that IS not my fault, you anow. :"
When he said she need not mind about be-
ing good-looking. because, after all. she
was nice little thing and would be more
apt to be left to keep hoase for him forever,
she appeared to be comforted.
She was mild and meek, and her vanity
had been quite taken out of her by her
uncle's frankuess.
She was, really, by no means, so very
plain, but she accepted Mr.. Flint's opinion
without a murmur.
II was all genuine. She was one of those
little women who naturally bow down be-
fore the male head of the family AMI wor-
ship him. She had not even reflected that
he might leave her his money, or some
portion of il. Ii was too dreadful TO think
Of Uncle Flints ever dying at all.
As for marrying, il did not enter BerthIl-
da's mind. She had written herself down
a spinster, as soon as she had heard Uncle
Flint's opinion on the subject, which was
oracularly given when she was about six
teen years Of age; but now that she was
nearly thirty, she was astonshed by the
appearance of lover in the shape Of a
stout farmer OF forty, a widower without
/ehildren. and owner OF as fine a piece of
.property as could be found in the State.
1t was case of love at first sight on his
part, and Berthilda finding herself made
love to. and being quite unused to the sit
uatiOn. felt that it was her duty to refuse
him, since to marry would be to contra
dict Uncle Flint's distinct assertion that
she was born to be an old maid; and vet
she yielded to the advances OF Mr. Hoskins,
SO far As to allow herself to be seen home
from "meeting," kissed at the gate and oc
casionally encircled BY a very large arm,
which, after squeeze or two, she always
put away with shocked little squeal.
Finally Mr.. HOskins offered himself. and
Berthilda, having confessed to a partially
for him, ended BY asserting that Uncle

The River Time.

The River Time.
Oh! wonderful stream Is the river Time
As II runs through the realm Of tears,
With 3 faultless rythm and musical rhyme,
And broader sweep, and q surge sublime,
As 1t blends with the ocean Of years.
How the win,ers are drifting like fakes OF
snow.
And the summer like buds between.
And the years In the sheaf so they come and 90
On the rivers breast, with ebb and how.
As IL glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical Isle up the river Time,
Where the softest airs are playing;
There's cioudiess sky. and tropical cline,
And a song as sweet As . yesper chime.
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
The name OF this Isle IL the Long Ago,
And We bury our treasures there,
There are brows OF beauty, and bosoms OF
snow,
They are now heaps of dust, bu, We loved them
There are ,rinkei. and trcsses Of hair.
There are fragments Of song tha, nobody sings.
And part OF an infant prayer,
There's lutte unswept, and harp without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces OF rings.
And the garments she used to wear.
There .rs hands ths, are waved when the fairy
shore
BY the mirage is lifted 10 air,
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar
Sweet voices We heard iu the days gone before,
When the wind down the river Is fair.
Oh. remembered for aye be that blessed Isle,
All the days OF our life TIL night,
When the evening comes with It's beautiful
smile,
And our ewes are closing TO slumber awhile
Nay that Greenwood Of soul be in sight.
