THE WAY TO WIN,

Edward Stone stood impatiently upon
the top step of his Uncle Dams stately
residence. There was not the slightest
sign of lie anywhere around; the who lie
front part of the house was closed and
darkened; and having rang several times
without eliciting any response, he was
about to conclude that there was no one
within hearing, when a head was thrust
out OF one of the upper windows.
"Young man, 60 round to the side
door"
Considerably startled by this unex-
pected address, the young man obeyed.
Upon the porch, brushing away the
leaves that covered it, was young girl
of fifteen. She looked very pretty as
she stood there, the bright autumnal sun
shine falling on the round white arms
and uncovered head.
Setting down her broom, she ushered
him into medium-sized, plainly fur
ished room, which gave no indication of
the reputed wealth of its owner.
The young man took q seat. brushed
q few feck5 of dust from the .lappel OF
his coat, ran his fingers through his
carefully arranged locks, and thus de-
livered himself:
"Tell your master that his nephew,
Edward Stone, is here"
| A faint smile touched the rosy lips,
and, with demure Yes, SIR" the girl
vanished.
A few minutes later an elderly gentle
man entered, with intelligent, strongly
marked features, and a shrewd look
in bis eye, which seemed to take the
mental measure of his visitors at {
glance.
"Well, sir, what is your business with
mep"
"I am your nephew, Edward Stone !
$50 my daughter told me. What d,
you wantp"
"I came to pay my respects to you
SIR"
"Yes; but what do you want ms tt

"What better capital do you wan
than you already havep A strong, abl,
! bodied young man wanting liftP Yo
D ought to be ashamed of ofyourselfp Wha
have you been doingP"
Edwards face flushed with anger q
, this unceremonious language; but, fee
) ing that he could not afford to QUAR-
with his wealthy relative, he gave
other indication of it.
n "I've been in store since / le
e school, two years ago."

With icy breath and snow-clad wing,
First reigns supreme; then leaves his thron,
For airs not milder than his own
Who only can his praises sing.

No balmy air, or fragrant flowers,
But blasts so wild, that 'thro the trees,

With kindly smiles and cheerful face,
Her blazing sun, so warm and bright,
And skies of blue with fieecy white,
No lowering cloud in them we trace.

And leave for her, the sultry sun,
