the TWO FLOWERS.


There was q flower within my garden
growing;
In form and color delicately fair;
And fragrance from its petals ever throw
ing
It filled with sweetness all the morning
aE.
One night the frost STOPPED suddenly from
o'erhead:
The morning sun a-ose-the flower was
dead.
I had wife who grew for years beside
me:
None sweeter or more loving could there
be;
soother and friend. whatever might be-
tide me.
Through varying fortunes clinging close
to me.
One day the darkening clouds hung over
head;
There came frost-at nightfall she was
dead.
Sweet flower! Dear wife! these blossoms
of existence,
One in the garden, one within the heart,
Bloomed for my gladness with fond per-
sistence,
TIL frost and death had hidden both de-
part.
Yet rises In my soul the hope to me,
Both shall rebloom within the life to be.

e'Why, Mr.. Merriam!" she exclaimed,

"Why, Mr.. Merriam!" she exclaimed,
starting back in apparent confusion
and astonishment.
"Do not be Disconnected" said he,
with placid smile. 1--WE always under
stood that a man should share his wife's
joys as well as her SORROWS" but the rest
was lost because everybody began to
laugh, and to believe as Mrs. Hayne and
Mrs. Grafton did not, that the relations
between the NcLanes and Merriams
on that idyllic wedding journey must
indeed have been delightful. There
were two men, however, who laughed
not-Hayne and Whitaker. Grafton
was away on duty, and there was one
woman who felt singing sense of de-
feat-Fanny McLane herself. In that
one action of Merriam there was mani
fest utter Indifference to her former
destinations, utter defiance to her pow
ers.
A dozen people, altogether, must have
been gathered in the room at the mo-
ment, and some officers were seated on
the veranda without. There were not
chairs enough, so the men gossiped
about the piano, while the women
grouped about the guest, and Mrs. Nc
Lane had no opportunity of singing
out and renewing her advance upon
Mrs: Merriam. Presently those who
had been there longest arose to go, and
their place was speedily taken by other
arrivals; that soon let the Haynes and
Merriams out, and as they tripped away
homeward each seemed to draw a long
breath.
wont you come and sit a little
while?" begged Mrs. Hayne, as they
neared the captains gate.
"Not tonight, thanks" was Mer-

twitch at his sleeve. She was still nerv-

"Merriam,'' said Hayne, II admire

cheek"
"Well, it was rather trying mo-

ence would rather be struck than kissed
by her, and I feared she could not avoid
showing it,
swell, you created a diversion, GER
tainly," said Hayne. "Good-night, if
you must CO." But Mrs. Hayne did not
speak until they were out of sight. She
was anxiously watching Florence, who,

into Harrlet's welcoming arms as trim
as though she herself had just issued
from a bandbo1, her Joy at being once
more with such fond friends decorously
tempered by the sense of her ever-pres-
ent, all-pervading sorrow, and the con-
sciousness of her delicate and uncertain
health. Only a moment did she allow
herself in Harriet's embrace. No time
must be lost in precipitating herself
upon the massive and not too eloquently
welcoming captain, who held out a hand
in his untutored army way, as hands
had been extended for the score of years
he had been in service, and not at the
height of the shoulder, as hers, after
the alien mode of the COS. Into his
arms she did not throw herself, yet
looked she as she meant to look and have
him see her look, and be impressed &C.
cordingly, as though such was her sense
of his lofty character and her own needs
of some strong arm on which to lean,
she might even be glad to find shelter
there.
'"rhere was always something so ap-
pealing about Fam" said Mrs. Grafton
sometimes, and indeed there was.
And then the train moved on, and
Grafton looked grimly at the stack of
Saratogas up the platform, while the
orderly was loading bags, baskets and
bundles into the roomy Concord wagon,
and the quartermaster's team came rat
Ting alongside to load up with heavy
luggage.
II won't have to see-anybody to-
night, will I, dearest?' pleaded the
widow of her devoted friend, as they
bowled away to the post. II look like
a bag after this dreadful journey, and
I'm so tired. Oh! do you get soft wa
ter here, or is it all this wretched
alkali?'' and she studied her friends
already suffering complexion and read
her answer there. No matter; she had
borax and-other correctives-in abun-
dance.
Inspection was all over. The cavalry
were all at stables down under the
bluff as they whirled into the great,
spreading garrison and went spinning
up the roadway in front of officers
quarters. The captain lifted both la
dies out at the gate and assisted An
nette> to alight; then, giving brief d.
rection to the servant, he raised his
cap: "And now you are at home, Mrs.
McLane, and will leave you to Harriet
while I go down to my horses awhile, -
and Fan followed him with swimming
eyes.
'How blessed you are, Harriet" she
murmured. $50 strong, so noble a
man! All, have so needed you-both.
I'm so thankful to be here.''

shaded porch, and bright eyes on other

lovely widow was an established fact.
Everybody, as in duty bound, had called
within the seven days, Mr.. and Mrs.,
Merriam with the others and not
among the last; but they chose Tuesday
evening, which was not q hop night,
but the very evening on which dozens
of others would be calling, and even
then they went in company with the
Haynes, and found, as they expected
indeed as they knew-the little army
parlor full of people.
Mrs. McLane's welcome was charm
ing. Already the soft air and sunshine,
as she was saying, had been of infinite
benefit, and her physician must have
known exactly what to prescribe for
her, for she felt ever so much better.
