played his farewell, dirge of hope.
Great tears fell over his pale cheeks,
as the weird, melancholy strains ec-
hoed through the space around him..
Then he wrapped the violin once,
twice in his arms, kissed it tenderly,
| and lifted it high in the air to smash
it on the rock. But his heart failed
him! His arm dropped nerveless at
his side, and he stood motionless,
looking sadly at his fathers legacy
Suddenly there stepped into the
opening an elderly man, gray haired
and dark eyed, and dressed in city
cut attire
so you would smash your violin p
he said. You had better sell it, or,
better still, play on it. Was it you
/ heard playing as / came through
the woodss'
Yes. / was bidding my violin
farewell 2
HIM! Play again for me-
Gladly Reuben lifted his violin and
drew the bow across it.
4 will play you the Carnival of the
Birds he said, and there arose upon
the airs twittering chorus, here a
| saucy thrill, there busy chirp, then
roulade, till the very air seemed
alive with songsters, while under all
sweet melody throbbed and melted
into softest strains.
This is the Brooks Hymn Reu-
ben said, and the ripping stream was
| Knocked and echoed in quaint fantas-
tic music.
Who wrote these p the stranger
asked.
sThey were never written. They
came from my heart vas the quiet
reply. 4 will play you some written
| music ia aASs
And again the violin obeyed the
bow as the work Reuben had studied
from his fathers music rose upon the
| summer air. s
And you were aboutto break your
violin q the stranger said.
Yes, for I can never be ia farmer
while my brain is SO full of music,
was the sad reply.
'Ah! You want to be farmer,
then. Would you not rather be a
musician y
Reuben's eyes glistened. Long he
and the stranger talked, and the sun
was setting when he turned his face
homeward.
Uncle Josiah, he said, when all
the chores were done, and the farmer
rested on the moonit porch, if in a
year 1 can bring you proof that I can
support Daisy, will you give her to

Il WILL was the hearty reply.
Have you broken your fiddle, Reu
bent
No and i am going to leave you
tomorrow. / have been offered work
in the city,
! Work in the city, Well, lad, it
may be you are too peaked for farm
work, and will find it easier there.
But, remember, if you fail, there's al
waya a home for you here, Reuben
Reuben grasped the hand stretch
ed out to him in his long, slender
fingers. and his sobbing God bless
you, sir came from his very heart.
Not even to Daisy did he tell his
new hopes, but babe her be faithful,
and whether he succeeded or failed
he would return at the end Of the
year.
! When he took his place in the
stage coach for the rail way station,
his new friend, met in the fairy ring,
was by his side.
Little Daisy kept her heart true,
Every market day, when the farmer
came from town with his great wa
gon empty, he took from his pocket q
letter from Reuben for Daisy, and
every one was hopeful. His work
