A MYSTERY.
Some I nine Will Never Be Un '
derstood In this Old World.
We could never understand ho'
a comely maiden who lias allowed

waun ears the limed words uf

sixty in die shade, and swear hy I

bliss known only to ilie period ufi
young love's dream, proiuised io :
many her, and ilirittardschunged
his mind and iailcd io make good; !
treaied her with contempt -we
never could undu stand, we say,;
why a woman of in nine years, old
enough io make a contract of mar-,
ringe could esiahhsh that she had
any change coming m her; how j
she could put money value on ihe !
loe thai her oung heuit i;ave
llul ihe iluew al ihi- leel ot a moil '
ster man who was iing.illaiil enoufji
not io pick il up, Inn beastly enough
to tread upon il and crush it with
his number nit e brogans. But
courts allow damages heavy dam
ages, sometimes, and the pining
maiden takes the coin and buys
her jim-cracking True So, as we
French have it, and marries anoth
er fellow and live happily ever
after.
Nor could we ever understand
how a man could come in and claim
that a woman who would leave
him; who would go with another
man; forsaking her children; her
honor; her very life, almost, had
any affection that belonged to him.
But the law says such is the case;
that a fellow who has stuff runs off
wiih another man's wife that the
other man can come inio court and
have a jury of his fellow country
men and his peers award him as
miny plunks as he warns and as
the case demands. Everything.
ALL OFF.

Not at all. She was a rather

THE HAPPY HILLS.
There's a wonderful country, lying
Far off from the noisy town,
Where wind-flower swings,
And veery sings,
And the tumbling brooks come down;
'Its a land of light and of laughter,
Where peace all the woodland fills;
'Tis the land thai lies
'Neaih the summer skies
In the heart of the happy hills.
The road to that wonderful country
Leads out from the gates of care;
And ihe tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter ihere;
And a voice from lhat land is calling
In the rush of a thousand rills
"Come away, away.
To ihe woods to day,
To the heart ol ihe happy hills."
Far away in that wonderful country,
Where the skies are always blue,
In the shadows cool.
By the foaming pool,
We may put on strength anew;
We may drink from the magic fountains
Where the w ine of life distils;
And never a care
Shall find us there,
In the heart of the happy hills.
MY DREAM.
I dreamed a dream last night, of wind and rain,
Around me darkness lay, the dark of storm,
Far in the farthest sky quick lightning played,
Cold winds swept down the hills, with mockings shrill,
Defied my flagging feel, thai backward pressed,
By rock and thorn, o'er arduous winding path,
And stern acclivity, strove hard to breast their buffeting
I'ast-weary 1, that scarce found strength to pray,
lixcept io die.
Bui passed ihe storm, the chill of wind and rain,
To lint of rose above the rain-washed hills
I raised my eyes; far, in that farthest sky,
Where quick the lightning played, a cross was set,
Its beck'ning arms of purest silver wrought,
And ai each gleaming point a shining star;
Swift leaped my lagging hean; swift sped my feet
With buoyant spring,
lire day should die, to reach that radiant trail
Athwart the sky.
Then changed my dream; upon a seagirt shore
Renmie, I seemed to be; soli winds, spice laden,
hltssrU with tragranl balm, blew cool and tresh
From o'er the whitened sands, tilled was the air
Wiih music strangely sweet, a rhythmic song.
Soft falling on my brow I fell again
The mseleaf louch of long lost tender hands,
Ah ! then I knew.
Upon ihe strand of Paradise I stood,
And walked with you.
