CLARA's WAY;

Hazelnut Farm was at its prettiest
when Clara Field came to live there.
The old house, with its square, old
fashioned porch, vine-covered gable
ends and newly-painted green blinds,
glimmered white through the emerald
freshness of the maple trees; the grass
was purpled all over with wild vioiets,
and the dim old woods on the noun
tain side were embroidered with a
thousand flowers. And the pretty
Young bride, standing on the rustic
bridge that spanned the brook, with
tufts of lilies on her breast, looked up
at the rising moon and drew long
sigh of contentment.
go. John, how beautiful this is!'
she said, softly. "How happy we shall
be. We can walk in the woods and
gather wild flowers and ferns, and we
can row on the river, and have readings
on the lawn, and sketch all these ex-
auisite bits of scenery, and life will be
like beautiful dream"
John Field whistled rather dubi
ously.
.sOf course it will, my DEAR" said he.
"And I'm glad you like the old place.
But rather think there'll be something
to do besides read and row and sketch. "
The next morning, when Clara came
down to breakfast in a white bunting
dress, with cherry ribbon bars all oveI
il, Aunt Keziah looked at her in owl
eyed surprise.
"My DEAR" said she, IF you ant
