ON THE VERGE.

Standing whore the sunset emblems
Crumbliug, fall adown the skies,
Autumn muses. and remembers,
Bending stern regretful eyes.
TIE imperions purple burning
FROM her cheek hath burned away,
And her bosom feels but yearning
For the golden yesterday.
Though her kingdom fall asunder
Through seditious winds and frost,
And the drums of winter thunder,
And she sees that all is lost.
Yet her royal pride eusureth
That none Whisper word or sccrn;
HsgglId, battled, she enduyetb,
With a spirit upward borne.
Eyes thst love her grieve serenely
At the pathos of it all,
In her bounty free but queenly,
Now Hnbending IN her fall.

Mrs Baines poussa un profond
soupir, ct resta un instant silencieuse.
Ellie asst dams un fauteuil, ct,
CONNIE 81 ellie await pas entendu

ton arrangement tragi1ue
-Je ne vous al jamais parle de ce
temps-a, ma ch6re; il ne me resta,t
pour toute fortune que soixante-
quinze francs tout juste, pour mener
une vie digne de ma situation, JUS
QUA ce que je trouvasse quelque
emplol Javais une petite chambre
q Kilburn, une petite chambre sous
le toit, ct cest Ia que je passai dies
iOurs, des semaines, attendant. Je
n'avais as tie feu, settlement une
petite lampe a esprit lampe a esprit
de vim OH je fasais chaufter de l'eau
Que lie versais ensuite dams un pot.
Je le couvrais ct y rechautfais mes
mains. Mais souvent, une heure
apres, il etait redeyenu froid, mon
amour.
-Pourquoi metre pas venue a
nous ?
-C'etait impossible, rtpondit Ia
vieilie dame dun ton obstine Je
sentais que ce ne serait pas convena-
BILE de me presenter devaEt vous,
taut que j'etais pauvre ct miserable.
Ellie s'arreta, regardant lie feu, puis
reprit:
La femme, au coin de la rue, a
Qui i'achetals chaque matin un
journal dun penny, crut pouvolr
prendre des Liberties avec moi. In
jour, ellie me dit que je paraissais
transle de frold ct me demanda de
masseoir ct de me rechauffer. Je
nadmis pas cette familiarite, ct je ne
revins jamais a So boutique.
-Mais peut-etre 'avait-ele qu'une
bonne intention?
Ellie aurait dn Sc souvenir de sa
condition, mon amour, ct s 'adresser i,
moi autrement. IL ny a rien de
plus penible a supporter que lie
souvenir de son rang dams la societe,
quand on Sc trouve en- presence dies
privations qui sont lie lot des classes
inferieures.
Tante Anne s'arreta de nouveau
un instant, ct poussa un long soupll
avant de reprendre
-Ma;s ne parlons plus de celia, ma
chere. 81 Mrs North await montre
moins de l6gerete dams sa conduite
ct plus de consideration pour moi, je
serais encore chez ellie, au lieu de

poussa un profond soupir.
-C'est charmant detre loin de

"Pauvre chere vieille pensalt
Florence, j'espere qu'elle ne Sc pre-
occnpe pas de la note de Nine Celes-
tine, ct qu'elle anra bientot DIES
nouvelles de sir William Rammage.
Alors ellie sera plus heureuse."
Le cottage etait aussi simple 4

restauree, mais lie salon etait d Pan
clenne mode; grand canape de erin
noir, piano droit, petits meubles de

chaque cote de la cheminee un grand
fanteuil, ct aupres de chacun d'eux
un We'll ecran en- tapisserie ayec un
paon au petit point.
Au premier 6tage, les chambres d
coucher etaient petites, excepte une,
sur lie devant, de la meme dimension
que lie salon.
-Cest Ia plus belle chambre, dit
Florence nous la gardons pour nos
hotes. Ellie communique avec une
petite piece qui deyait etre son
cabinet de toilette, je presume. Je
me figure toujours que cette grande
chambre 4 coucher ct le salon appar
tiennent au passe, ct lie reste de la
maison au present.
-Cest CONNIE votre vie ct la

tant que vous ne roccuperez pas,

Florence n'oublia jamals ce matin
d octobre, OH ellie partit avee tante
Anne ct les enfants pour Whitley
lis prirent le tram 4 Waterloo. Ellie
pensait a Walter, a lneurense jour
nee qu'ils avaient passee tous feux
Windsor, ct a celle OH ellie lavait
conduit 4 Southampton, ct i son re-
tour, toute seule 4 Londres. "Oh !!
mon cheri, Sc dlsait-elle, puisse-til

Mrs Baines, ellie aussi, etait
pleine de souvenirs. Ellie parcourut
des yeux lie quai de depart, CONNIE 81
ellie y cherchaiU quelqu'un, puis Sc
tint quelques instants, reverse, de-
want IA bibhotheque de Ia gare,

II Y await trois miles en- voiture
de Whitley au cottage une Tongue

dies eclalrcies, DIES apercus de collines,
distantes ct bleues, des montagnes ct
de profondes vallees, ct, Ga ct la, une
mason solitaire, dies massifs de
ch6nes, de melezes el d'arbres verts.
-Enfn, nous sommes arrives !
s'ecria Florence, CONNIE la voiture
s'arretalt devant un cottage en-
briques rouges, en- retrait sur la route
de quelques metres
A droite ct a gauche du cottage
une plantation de sapins, ct, tout
autour, une large alice sabl6e.
Derriere s'Gtendait un grand jardin
presque enforcement en- friche, ira
verse dams toute sa longueur par une
alice au milieu dune masse de hetres,
de melezes, de ch6nes ct de
sapins, jusqu'au SONNET du versant
dune jolie vale.
-Quelquefois, dit Florence, comme
lis Sc promenaient de ce cote, une
demi-heure plus tard, pendant que les
domestiques mettaient tont en ordre
dams IintGrieur du cottage, nous
descendions le versant de la vallee ct
nous remontions jusqu'au SONNET de
lautre cote. Nous nous trouvions
alors plus loin que Hindhead. C'est
plus pres que d'y aller par Ia
route.
-Notre maison est plus loin, Sc
