CHAPTER l.
' Oh dear - exclaimed pretty Leoline Lamont;
a. ] do wonder if l viii always have to live on a
farm. ! am getting sick of such life. never
did Ike TO cook, wash, ehurn and milk, as
some girls delight to do. Yes, l am tired, ured,
tired, OF living farm. [ would like TO live III
the city go 10 balls and theaters, wear fine clothes
and, IN fact. be somebody oh, deari Why can't
Because. If they were, where would be our
little country maidens to make US golden butter
and
why. Mr.. Forester! How came you here
And to think you heard me soliloquizlngI But,
then, you needn't laugh AT me, foryou really DOM
know how bad want to be somebody.
How bad you want to be somebody? why
Leoliue! / always thought you were somebody"
Oh, yes, know but mean somebody-weH,
somebody besides farmers daughter
Dear Leoline, said Mr.. Forester, placing his
hand on her shoulder and gazing intently in her
hazel eyes. SO you are tired of being farmer
daughter? Well, how would you like TO be a min
listers wlfe?'
There. you are making fun of me again"
Making fun of you? Did you ever hear OF me
making fun Of you or anybody else? No, Leo
line; 1 was never more earnest III my llfe know
/ cannot give you the riches for which you crave
but can give you comfortable home ana ali the
love Of an honest heart"
Mr. Forester. you know not what you ask. I
am not worthy OF you; indeed, ! am not | am
altogether too wicked TO be minister's Vile
You are great deal better than you give your.
self credit for; and as to your not being worthy of
ME, allow me TO satisfy myself on that point. All
that care for Is your love- Give me that, anu
promise you shall never have cause to regret"
Mr.. Forester am very sorry you have asked
me this question for I cannot comply with your
request No, cannot marry you. You are very,
very good, aud like you ever so mucn, but can
not give you the love which you ask and deserve.
Even though / did love you, am afraid could
never be content with the home you could give
me-
Then good-by, Leoline offering his hand), I
viii not insist you to reconsider though you
are the same 10 me ever, and always will be.
Nothing viii ever change my love for YOU But II
You are ever In need of a friend, don't forget TO
send for me. ] viii go away tomorrow, for can
| not remain here now. There is old minister in
1 Rosedale who would be glad TO take my place in
/ the church for year or two. will see him this
afternoon and make arrangements. Farewell,
/ Beoline. hope you will be happy" And press
ing her hand TO his lips, he departed. Leolne
/ gazed after him one in a dream; then, turning,
she fed 10 the house and gaining the seeluson OF
/ her own room, she threw herself on her bed and
/ cried herself 10 sleep.

| WHAT DOTH THE NEW YEAR BRING?
Thou contest with joy aud singing,
| With a step as light Is the air,
| But what to our hearts art thou bringing,
Oh young year laughing and fair?
Isit love and fortune and glory,
pathway strewn with flowers;
/ Or Is II q tragical story,
/ That may finish this life OF ours?
The birth Of the new year hailing
With the dance, the feast and song,
/ VIII the music turn to waiting
/ Ere the bright new year Is gone?

IN MEMORY or OUR C. C. LOVED ONES.
Fading and sweet were our earthly flowers,
| Blooming here for few short hours;
Transient as dew in the melting beam
OF Summer sunshine's dazzling g!eam.
Over across the silent sea
| Angels were waiting to carry thee
Safe 10 the gentle Shepherds fold,
Where all that's lovely ne'er grows old.
Sadly we laid their forms to rest,
With the daisies pressed above their breast;
While with throbbng heart mid falling tears
The last sad rites each loved one hears.
And though our dear ones pass away,
And naught be LETT but Ifeless clay,
Yet still their spirits hover near
To bless the hearts that loved them here.
n j. Galpin, San Antonio, Tex.
