LAST WORDS.

Dear hearts whose love has been so sweet to
know,
That am LOOKING backward as go,
Am lngerInz while haste, ami in this rain
OF tears Of joy am minglin tears of pain
Do not adorn with costly shrub or tree,
Or flower, the little grave which shelters me
Let the wild wind-sown seeds grow up un-
harmed.
And back and forth all summer unalarmed,
Let all the tiny, busy creatures creep:
Let the sweet grass its last years tansles
keep:
And when, remembering me, you coma some
day
And stand there speak no praise but only say
How she loved usi Twas that which made
her dear!"
Those are the words that shall icy to hear

You hear that Lady Latimer complains
of feeling dull; will you allow Miss
Lowell to pay us visit? In fact, if it
will be convenient to you, to go back

The beautiful face frightened. the
gracious hand was held out to me.
..How kind! Will you come. Miss
Lovel? l should be so delighted"
If she had said. ..Will you come 10

you into good society; indeed, l think
it is most providential for US all.

CHAPTER III.

My few preparations were soon
made. Lord Latimer was profuse in
his thanks to my parents. 1t was so
good, so kind. SO generous of them to
spare me; he was so grateful. 1t was
such sad thing for Lady Latimer to
feel herself so dull-so unfortunate;
but in my cheerful society no doubt
she would rally. His words sounded
kindly, but there was an evil look in
the old lords eyes as he uttered them.
Then we all three drove away to-
gether, and the wonder, the dream of
my life, came true-I was at home at
Lorton's Cray. What would the
boys say?" That was my first thought
as we drove along, and I longed to
hear the remarks and comments that
would be made in the august assembly.
Then my companions attracted all my
attention. l began to see why Lady
Latimer was dull and lonely. The old
lord was by no means a pleasant,
amusing, Or even agreeable COM
panion; he was silent and satur-
nine. If he expressed an idea, it was
either false, mean, or ignoble; if he
uttered a sentiment, it was either
morbid or cynical; he made remark,
it was sure to jar in some way or
other on one. He talked to me during
the greater part of the drive; he
could not forget that Lady Latimer
had complained of feeling dull; he
seemed to resent it as an insult to
himself; he reverted to it continually.
If had been Lady Latimef, should
have lost both temper and patience;
but when she saw the turn things
were taking, she leaned back in the
carriage and said nothing.
What weariness crept over that
beautiful face! What sadness came
into the proud eyes! The bright May
sunshine, the Towering lines, the
springing grasses, brought no smiles
| to her lips. ! was almost dazed with
delight to drive on that lovely spring
day through that delicious, odorous
air. To see the depths Of the blue
sky, the light Of the sun, the bloom ol
the spring flowers; to hear the lark
and the thrush, the bleating OF the
little lambs in the meadows--had
filed me with delight that was almost
intoxicating; my heart and soul, my
whole nature. seemed to expand. But
on the beautiful face opposite to Inc
there was no smile. do not remem

COUNTY SCHOOLS. - Superintendent
of Public Schools James E. Clements,
of Alexandria county, has completed
the examination ofteachers and granted
certificates TO Mr.. Henry s. Petty and
Misses Mary Mulcahy, Ruth III. Boil
way, Daisy Spicer, Sylvia A. Fritz and
Bette w. hewitt, white, and to Edward
G. Hoffman, Allen A. Pinkney, George
L. Seaton, Lucian II. Thompson,
Henry T. White and Misses Hattie 1
Jackson, and Susie P. Rabb, colored.
Several who took the examination failed
to pass, but the superintendent en-
couraged the unsuccessful ones to de-
vote another year to hard study and to
try again.
Supt. Clements regards the examina-
ton questions as sent out by State Su-
perintendent John E. Massey to the
several counties for the examination OF
teachers as being an excellent test of
the applicants ability to teach. He
said persons passing this examination
were undoubtedly competent, and the
continued enforcement of such an eX-
animation would have tendency to
raise the grade of teachers, and do
away with the old idea that almost any
one could teach public school.

ALEXANDRIA GARBAGE.-Complaint
is made in many parts of the city of the
fact that the city slop carts do not call
often enough for the garbage which ac-
cumulates at houses. At this season of
the year, when fruit abounds, especial
" watermelons and cantaloupes, con-
siderable kitchen offal accumulates, and
it should be disposed of as quickly as
possible. It is said there are some por-
tons of the city in which slop cart
has not been seen for two weeks. Be-
sides the sanitary condition of some
localities is complained of. 1t seems as
though the summer will have ended be-
fore such matters are considered.
