CHAPTER III.

Lady Valworth had been rather glad to
avail herself of Sir Thomas suggestion
to spend few weeks in town with her
sister, Mrs. Brand-a fashionable woman
of the world with very kindly heart,
who, childless herself, had adopted the
daughter of dead sister, now a charm
ing girl of seventeen, and engaged to
Grant, Boyle, her cousin. She is, how
ever. hardly to be regarded as young
lady fairly launched upon the world, as
she is still undergoing course of study
with various masters, and reading IN
German three times a week with gov
erness-a girl of about her own age, who
had lived so much abroad as to be an al
most naturalized Prussian.
Nadine Roche counted herself lucky
when she sought and found employment
in the home of Mrs. Brand. She had
drunk sufficiently deep of the waters of
affection to be almost on the borders OF
despair, when Fate, who is not always
unkind. shunted her on to the line that
led to, at least, glimpse of prosperity.
Her pupil blossomed into her friend.
Mas. Brand took a special fancy to her.
Her feet seemed to have dropped into the
primrose way, and she felt at last, poor
little soul, that she could lift her head to
heaven with the firm assurance that she
could walk, without fear of falling, upon
the earth beneath.
Her pupil, Millicent Grey, is almost as
pretty as she is, if not quite. A tall,
stately girl with fringed lids, from which
the brown eyes look out as if in wonder
ment at the world outside, and soft sleek
hair of a dark shade, that contrasts
oddly with her retrousse nose, and that
is so altogether put i'll the shade by the
charming Grecian feature that distln-
guishes her governess. TIC many people,
indeed, Madness merry mouth, and fair
dancing locks, and eyes blue as a cav
erned sea, would have had their objec-
tions; but the child herself is so sweet so
gay, 80 suggestive Of all things good and
pure. that it would be impossible to re-
gard her in any light except q kindly
one.
With only the memory Of dear father
who had been q general in the Prussian
army, although an Englishman-and a
mother very dear, but very dependent,
TO sustain her, Nadine, up to her connec-
ton with Mrs. Brand, had been COM
PEELED to look at life through anything
but rose colored spectacles. And Of late a
chance of still surer escape from her
dreary surroundings has suggested itself
TO her. Into her life chow. she hardly
knew q young man has fallen, who,
while declaring his love for her, has 1T
the Same time repealed her almost as
much us he attracts her. There had
been slight touch Of romance in the
manner Of their meeting, but yet nothing
very worthy Of comment. A dull Janu-
AIRY night, ignorant of stars-a crowded
crossing young man who had kindly

A Presage.

Her name-but why confess?
You very rarely hear one
More facinating-guess
Her merry voice is sweeter
Than any rillet's flow;
Her laugh has more of metre
Than any song / know.
Her lovely eyes that tighten
When robins softly sing
Are like the skies that brighten
At dawn in early spring;
Her cheeks-his brain is dul!er
Than dunce's who'll not own
They've all the pinky color
apple buds half blown.

That such one should send

An Autumn Song in England.

Summer hay and harvest
Come and come again
All J the months are measured
BY the yellow vain,
As the stately cargoes
Down the valley sway;
Golden wheat-sheaf mountains
Hills of scented hay.
Yearly for her children
Earth, the Mother, pours
Thus in rick and in hay
Her sustaining stores;
Needless if the ploughman
Reap the seed he sowst
If with grass and leaf-bud
He o'erlive the SHOWS.
Man she loves; but loves not
With mothers heart;
IT'S the race that only
In her care has part
For the whole providing,
Deaf to each ones fate,
She our tears and laughter
Eyes with smiles sedate.
Down a twilight ocean
Men like swimmers go;
Some sweet face beside them,
Some few voices know.
Faint and firm the Pole Star,
Beaconing overhead,
Der the heaving pillows
Draws a silver thread.
Who knows when his nearest
Meath the flood shall go?
Who, when Death may call him
From the night below?
Shall we see the spring-time,
Hear the birds again?
Ask no more when autumn
Brings the harvest vain?
Swaying down the hillside,
On the hedge it weaves
Lines of golden wheat-straw
That out-last the leaves;
Shall we see the spring time
Bud and burst again?
ASK no more, Eugeniai
Ask no more in vainl
