Colloctio8 tna-lo iu any part of North Caroltne.. " j,,, m 0 "On, bow bcautifyir ' exclaimed Ethel Sharon, as on a clear summer morning sfce stood by the flowing lind ane, and vmctica mo sun as it rested nn the miijcstic heights ol Storm King aiid Crows' Nest, aud oa the surruuading valleys bluw. As she stood watching tho sun rtsc. she made a. lovely picture; tail and, slight, but perfectly' formed, ber gulden hair railing iu heavy curls below her waist, her, dark blue eyes lighted up with wonder-and admiralim nt the sur rounding fisw, and a smile on her sweet lips winch lighted up her luce and mnde bcr most fair to see. O.ie band rested on the large setter nhich stuod by her side. Suddenly the noise of horses' hoofs attracted her 0 attention, and ; iuralri, she saw approaching two young men on horseback ; behind them came a dog. cart with a groom in attendance, rod tbe necessary articles for a journey across the country. , As tliev came rear they raised their hats, and tho gentle man on the side nearest her said, "Pardon me, but will yon be kind enorig'i to tell ma the Damo of those mouutaii.s opposite!" She felt the color rush te her face as, lifting her large frank eyes to his, the replied, "Certainly ; Storm King and Crows' Nest." "And is that West Point just below?" "Yes." Many thanks for your information ;" and again touch'n g their huts, they road on, leaving her to wonder who they were, and where they hud lived, that they needed to ask tho names of tho motintuius along the Hudson, She walthed them out of sight, then calling her dog started on a run for the lovely home nestled is :awong tho trees at the foot of "lJreuki:(ck." She was the ouly child of Mr. and Mrs. Thorn, and her sweet, loving ways tt'id pleasant disposition had etven her the pet name "niicshme, by winch u who loved ber culled her; and although in her tiineteetn year, she was as light beaited and civ as a child, for sorrow had not touched her innocent heart. As she approached the house, flushed by exercise, her lather met her, say iZ, "Sunshine, 1 was alratd vnu had met with tin adventure, you stayed so long and was just starting to look for you." "Suppose 1 shou d tell you 1 had met with aa adventure? "I should have to put n stop to those morning walks, or else accompany you Hit come, breakfast is teadv, aud mamma impatient." While seated at the table a letter was brought iu to Ethel from her dear Iriend, Minnie Watsns, begging her to make her a long visit, saying her brother was to return home that tnon ing from a trip across the country, bringing his European friend, Genro Stanley, with him S!ie wanted Ethel's help In enter taining ibem. S i, ater proper preparation E'hel took tho afternoon train to IVekkill where Minnie lived, and in a short time (he two girls were busy talking oyer jheir school days together. Minnie was a tall, handsome tr mptte and tbtuiiih but a few months Ethel's senior, a society belle, and, I am sorrv to say, a flirt, while hiliel shunned any thing of the kivl tis dishonorable Hi the girls wrro firm) friends, asd loved each other deanv. "And who, Minnie, is your brothel's frier.-d joti.mritmrje: i Sima near ad mircr of yours?" "Oli, no I I had aover seen him until to-day. II met Ned . in London, nnd they travelled for over a year together, nd so beci-ne fast fiiends. lie i handsom'-, and I t'aink t shall, like him if be will only condescend to notice me. "There is no danger but he will d that, Minnie. I am quite anxious to see your brother, d I have never met him Is he like you r" '.Like nie? Gracious no! lie is coi finned batchelor.; unl"ss he meets an atifjel iu his wauderincs, he will never marry, for all mortnl g'uls fall far short of his expectations. ' Is he really so hard to suit?" 'Yes .indued; but, s,lill ha admires beauty as much, if not more than njnst y.-iung men. You. should have heard him describe u country girl he met litis morning on his way hums. There never was tucli u beautiful' creature seen be fore, I told kirn he' must have seen a tuermriid." "Did you say this morning?". : "Yes.".. "".: " "Where was it?" '' "0i tho road soriichcro between lYhkill and here ; I could not Gad aut j'ist wliere." "Wore Jhey on horseback, attended by a groom? Tell rue iickly, Minnie." "Yes. vhy d o.yon ask?" "Is your brother tall and slight, with heavy dark ooustucho and dark eyes? $.4 was he on a chestnut horse i" "Yes.-iJVhy, Suasliinel I do I do really tieliteit was yu he saw I Blue eyes and golden hair it certainly was youtell me, dear; was it?' vWell, I, met two gentlemen this morning," certainly ; and as they asked mri some questions I answered theiu." "Qo I am so glad 1 Wont ha bestir- rised to sve you here?" "Promise mo, Miguic, not to mention the aflair 'before Jour brother, for per haps he will not-remember me." You certainly mnde an impression, Sunshine, without, knowing it, Now I kno'w he will Live yon, for lie' can't help it ;' and I shall be so happy 1" "Nonsense I IT j will do nn such thing! So put that foolish thought out of your head as q iickly as possible." Very well, we II see. But como down t'i the parlor and sing to nie," bn saying, the an Is descended to the parlor, and, cuing to the piano, Ethel sang ;$ mnie Sect lassie." As her exquisite vuicn rose and fell with the sweet words of the song, Ned Watsou and his fritnd ctimo into the room, and stood entranced behind the singer. Kisifg from the Yfianrt, she peTceived Ned's q lick look nf rocoCBitlon, as, ac- nwledgiiig the iotroduclion, he said, "I think I had the pleasure of meet ing Miss Thurn this morning, did I it?" ,v ..... ' I believe so." - ' ' '" ' "I owe you an apology for address- ing yu, but the temptation to hear you peak was too great to be resisted. Will vou pardon me, and consider me your iend? Although i have but just met you, I have beard Minnie speak of you often, tliat it seems as tb'ju"h I had long known you." "Certainly ; I mil willingly be your iend." Many were the hours Ned and Ethel speiit in each other's society after that evfiiinj, a-'d the lonj summer days seemed very short to tkem ns they rode, sailed, or wa.'ched the moon's light from the veranda, nnd, ns the end of 'Miel's visit was fa-t approaching, she thought nf how lonely s'e wv.uld be, and how s!le would miss Ned's friend- hip ; for she was learning to love him. and the discovery of that fact had made her shorten her visit. SktHg ot tho veninda the last day of her stay, and with these thoughts in her mii d, she was aroused by (outsteps, d looking up saw Ned standiug by her side. "This is the last evening we will have vou with us, and I am ymg to nsk a jreat (avor of you ; will' you walk nkh vno down to the liver f" "Yes." Throning n wrap around her, she t'K.lt his arm no i we.t with tutu. Neither fimke until, staadina by the water side, N'..'d said, "I have brou 'ht you here to-n'olit, E'hel, to tell you what has long been on try mind, nnd uhut I wish you to know before you leave us. Will you sit down here on the bank, and listen?'' Silently consenting, she spnted her self, nni foldini! tier small white bauds in her lap, waited for him to speak. "I have been waiting several days for a chance to tell you, Ethil, how much I love vnu. I have Itved you e'er since tint morning I met you by tho water, aad brought you here to-night tv that (nine river, to ask you to be mv rife. Tell nie, darling, that vou love me, nnd will bo my tlail;nj wife, and brint; sunshine to my heart." Raisirg her eyes to hiss'ie whispered her ennse-Jt, and was folded iu his arms. And thus we leave them, with t''.e moon's tutl light tailing nn them and the surrnijtidiuj valley, making it an eii chanting picture. MISSING JEWELS. A LECTURE 0 SI MEMORY.

This experience is tn uew, so strange, so awful, tha', we can not grasp it. Hot did we ever see a human being speaking, smiling one minute, the next a blai.k, a ui ickcry, a shell whence is withdrawn the beautiful, loving, gentle spirit that we knuw ? Ob, God I ob, God I we cry in our agony, tuuko us understand, make us see; remove the terrible interval that lies between our living vision nnd our dead one. Oh, when we thins of the future, of bow we can neyer watch for their coming, never see them stepping to meet us, never listen for the sound of their gentle voices, bur Sua of happiness seeines forever set. We miss their morning kiss; at even tide we bold out despairing arms to them the days are eniijty nnd dreary. We call upon tliem across the silence that gives back no answer. 'Tis hard indeed to bow without a murmur. but "Thcin whinner a mice 'tis the voieo of our Sod 'I love thou, I love tbe, pass under the rod.' " Ah ! friends, I can. feci for ynu. I, too, have lest loved ones, and though the cruel grave bides their forms from my sight, know that they are happy around the great White Throne above. Before the first agony of my grief was spent, olten I would shut roy eyes that 1 might fcot see the il iwers gf"Wiiig so bravely on their stalks. They were here last summer. They will be here next. They nru btit, poor, perishable little things; and yet they coine back to us every year, unlike those human, blos soms that we liy away from our sight uit'ii such bitter, pa-sinuate tears and cries.

Spring is the resurrection of nature after its winter of death, the eternal renewing of ail save man's hopes and desires. The ice bound rivers break their letters a:.d run joyously into the sea, the bu I buists into greenness, then into blssoni.
