IN THE CLOVER.

Butterfly,
Flutter by,
Over the clover,
Under the sky.
Sail and falter and fail,
And cling to the fragrant spray;
Shift and shirk,
No weather for work
Falls on a summer day.
Bumblebee,
Tumble free
Into the bloom of the tulip tree,
Cease your hustle and boom,
Swing on a stamen and sing,
Or clutch fagon frail and fine
And drowsily drink the wine,
And rest your rumbling wing.
Meadowlark,
Glow like a spark
That will set the fields afire;
Tenderly whistle
On top of thistle
a ''turilee" to your mate up higher
In dusky locust tree.
There. There!
Away goes care,
And dream comes over me.
A boy tired out with play,
On a summer holiday,
In the grass SO cool and deep
While the butterfly goes futtering over,
Between blue SKY and purple clover,
And the bumblebee BUNDLES
And whirIs and tumbles,
Where the meadowlark's nest
And her golden breast
Have clover
All over
For cover.

A SUMNER IDYL.
81 AGNES CLIFFORD.

GwendOllne met her aunt, Mrs. New
combe, at the little station and drove
her up in her own phaeton.
"Is any one herc?" asked Mrs. New
combe as they rolled along the hard
white road between low green fields on
either hand.
81 mean any one nice," specified
Mrs. Newcombe with her soft little
laugh.
"Warfeld is herc-Edgar Warfeld, ;"
said Gwendolinc, decking a fly off Jer-
rvs shining coat with her whip.
''Ah! That is pleasant for you"
"Pleasantn' cried the younger lady,
with a note of petulance in her voice.
81 don't think so. It's bore"
Miss Ventnors dark, handsome face
settled in moody lines. She looked like
her mother. She had not taken after
her father, who was blonde. But her
fathers youngest sister, the little widow,
was very like him. Mrs. Newcombe had
a charming fairness and liquid eyes. She
never looked worldly.
isn't he thought good parti?" she
inquired.
Gwendoline made another brusque
movement with her whip.
"Oh, [ suppose so. He's rich, if
that's what you mean. And he has no
incumberance. No mother or sisters"
Miss Ventnor laughed. "That ought to
be recommendation. A fellows fam
lily is dreadfully tiresome-an awful
bore"
A dog-cart, with a powerful horse
harnessed to it, appeared ahead Of them.
AS the gentleman who was driving it
came abreast of the phacton be raised
his hat.
"That's Edgar Warfeld," said Gwen
doline moment later.
''He is good looking. You are hard
to please, Gwen"
"Oh, l don't know. I might like
him we'll enough as friend if he would
stop annoying me-"
''Annoying you?"
ooh, hanging around"
Mrs. Ventnor was on the piazza Of the
cottage as they drove up. She followed
her sister-in -law to her room.
'I'm awfully glad you have come,
Phoebe. It will be boon to Gwendo
line to have you. l wish you would talk
sensibly to her, by the way. She is trif1ing
with an excellent chance Of settling in
life"
''Do you mean Mr. Warfeld!" asked
Mrs. Newcombe. removing her dainty
close travelling hat and long gauze veil
before the toilet table. ''Gwendoline
has been telling me about him."
"What did she say?"
GtShc said he bored her"
"Nonsense! He's only too fond of
her. He's q very affectionate fellow,
and he's been desperately blue since the
death of his mother, to whom he was
devoted. He looks for sympathy from
Gwendoline, and he does not get it.
Silly girl that she is! You're looking
7ery we'll, Phoebe. Gray IS so becoming

ask nothing of man, that brilliant, vir-
| gininal Inconsistencies, that air of never
having bowed her stately young head to
sacrifice or to sentiment, which sat upon
! her with 81 bright radiance But now
| he asked himself. with sigh, whether
! the more conventional feminine charms
and virtues did not make a girl more
convenient and comfortable to get on
with. Perhaps if Gwendoline could be
softened httle-just a hrtle-by the
contagion of her young aunt's delightful
manner, it might be an added attraction
to the proud young beauty. How very
womanly Mrs. Newcomb's manner was.
And she looked so girlish, too. He re-
membered now that he had heard the
| Ventnors say that she had married very
| young, and that her husband had been
a great deal older than herself. He had
died, leaving her very little property,
and she had never loved him. It was
hard, Edgar Warfeld's manly and chiv-
alrous heart felt, with glow, that so
kindly, so dear and sweet little woman
! should have had to bear anything sad In
| her life.
| The next day Gwendoline had letter
from friend bidding her come to make
| her visit of some weeks.
'And she is going, my dear2" cried
poor Mrs. Ventnor, in dismay, to Phoebe
| Newcombe. Nothing l can say will
keep her."
"Dear Gwen, what of Mr.. Warfeld?"
asked the little widow of her niece.
81 imagine Mr.. Warfeld is able to
take care of himself, is he not2" ex-
claimed the young lady.
She left on the morrow and she was
gone three weeks. On her return she
learned that her young aunt's visit was
soon to draw to close.
s'Mr. Warfeld has been here a great
DEAL" the girls mother told her, land if
he has not decided long ago to discon-
tinue his attentions to you you may thank
Phoebe for it. I think she tried to make
him see that you would listen to reason
some day. He was here again this morn
ing. We did not expect you, quite on
this train you know, so they started for
a little walk-Phoebe and Mr.. Warfield.
Aren't they coming up now?"
Mrs. Ventnor was near sighted, but
her daughter was not. The latter glanced
out of the window and saw, very slowly
moving up the path, her aunt, with her
pretty head dropped, and Edgar War
field, with his head dropped, too. AS
they came in view of the house both
heads Strengthened suddenly.
''Is it they7" repeated Mrs. Ventnor.
But Gwendoline had, apparently, not
heard either question,
"And so you are going away-to leave
us2" inquired the young lady of her aunt
later in the day.

soft hand about Ter niece's arm.
Gwendoline disengaged herself.

When the earth was young, says Dr.
Ball. astronomer royal for Ireland, 1t
spun around ut such u rate that the
day was only three hours long. The
earth was liquid then, and as 1t re-
volved at that fearful speed the sun
caused ever increasing tides upon Its
surface until at last 1t burst in two.
The smallest part became the moon,
which has been going around the earth
ever since at an increased distance.
The influence of the moon now raises
tides on the EARTH and while there was
any liquid TO operate on in the moor
the earth heaped up much greater lu
mar tides.
