I 'What a glorious iunset and what an
oxijuiaito view ! What ineffablo inspir
ation, what unutterable rapturo there
are in a saeue like this!' Lillian Sey
mour nuirmurud with enthusiasm.
She wait standing at tho gateway of j
tho little farmhouse garden, her pmlt
goi7U gleatning ngain.it tho rich peon
shru'uhery, her vollow wrls glittering j
in the list ?plcnui'l beams of tho netting'

Uer companions were two yonng man
—the ono elcguut and indolent and tbe
other a robust young fellow with tannod
and ruddy features aud with habiliments
neither costly nor modi.-ih.
'With v lau io Lorrwie 'let me die
amiil SUCH scenes as this,' ono ean say,'
tne (;ir! pui'foed, ir. n voicj of ec>tacy.
'Do you not think so. Mr. Nnrillo !'
| The eleg&nt yeuug gonU .aiau twirled
nis cane and asf-mou a took of rntense
j appretiatioo of thu qucstiou.
I 'We do net ail have your artiotie per
ceptions, Miss Seymour,' he answered
in flattering accents, ar.d with a glance
which insinuated so much admiration
that she oiusbed and her blue eyes
dropped.
'1 say, Lil,' the robust yonng follow
irreverently interrupted at tho moment,
'don't you feel the mosquito biting on
the tip of your noso ' 1 always dread
the inosquito season—the pesky creat
ures are such a worriment to tho oows
in the milking and the horses in the
ploughing,' he added .v> ho turned at
the tinkle of the tea bell and stiodo
blithely up the narrow planked walk to
the farmhouse door.
Lillian pouted as slia brushed away
the aggressive insect; and Mr. Novdle
smiled—tbe bland, languid, insinuating
smile which seemed to mean so much
pitying contempt for the yonng fellow
who had just left them and so much
oomiuirscration for her bccauae she hap
pened to bo betrothed t« su:h a prosy
clod.
'There is only a itep from the fnbliuio
to tho ridiculous, you know, Miss Sey
mour,' he observed, as he laiily twirled
bis oano in a fastidious gloved hand—
'and yon friend has little poetry in bis
•oui, 1 ani afraid.'
'Mark has eyes for nothing but hi*
crops and his sticks,' Lillian said, with
another little pout, 'ills coarse work
is a pleasure to hnu, and I—oh, 1 am
beginning to hate it all.'
•Poor little girl!' Mr. Neville said,
as ho lounged agains* the gateway, and
bent toward her until bis blondo Dun
drearies touched tho fair, flushed face.
'You were iuado for brighter tilings.
Your life might be so different if yuu
were not so odiously hampered.'
lie finished so significantly that on
the blushing chocks tho soft puis kin
dled to vivid crimson.
'Lil 1 Lil! Come in to tea. We
have flapjack" atid squasii,' a cheery
voice called at that moment from tho
farmhouse do r, 'and you eau bring the
gentleman with you.'
But Mr. Nevillo dcolinod tho invita
tion.
'1 can p&rtako of nothing in common
with tho msu whoso rude yoke is to
burden these dainty shouldora,' he whis
pered ho left her.
Lillian sighed as she wont slowly to
the houae.
■How different ?lark is,' sho thought.
'Mark has u> perceptions of the bounti
ful and piotie—lie has no sentiment but.
anything

The priuirose by tin; river brim
A primrose Is, and nothing more.'
He has no sympathy with elevating
emotions, and he would uiako the sub
limed thing ridiculous '—he does have
. aeb an unrefined tii k of ißtyiTuptiog
ruo mn! appiojm ! Ido wish he would
not always come hero ju*t when Mr. |
Nevillo happens to stroll this way.'
But, jomchow, Mark seemed destined
to couio on jtufc such occasions, and,
as Mr. Neville happeaod to stroll rathor
frequently past tbe farmhouse gate, pret
ty Lillian was often disturbed by tbo
interruptions

dciily became visible just beyoud the j
thick currant shrubbery.
'O—oh, dear !' Lillian ejaculated
with all tbo femiaino horror supposed,
peculiar to that sort of eveut.
'Why, surely, I am your dear—that
wan settled a considerable t.me ago,'
the lmpcrturbablo Mark said, as with a
soap of his tanned ho uislodged
tbe obtrusive caterpillar—a huge, brijt
liug, brownish, adherent t ture wi.ieh
had meant to spin its -i>oc«n within i i (
suug bodice, and turn it- ilf into a !
shrysalis to omorgo a butterllj fro,,, her j
bosom, "The robius have a prodigious ;

tiuued with an odd twitch of his finely
molded lips, aud a juf. perceptible
twinkle in his keen eyes ; 'bowscev e
they can't catch and gorg ail t'ie pe,' y
crawling things, greeJy gluttons thou; o

Truly, Mark hid a most nnt'eky
knack of divesting everything tit' the
pootio.
The olegant and. refia r. Neville
smiled pityingly, and Aillian, bluoh
ing, pouting and mortified, dropped
her basket of currants at.d hastily sped
away.
As tho last gleam of the triiu pink

then he nre* forth an immaculate baL'd

Decidedly, I think, at broakfast and
during the forenoon. As a general
rule, if she looks well, then she is ui
good health; if she dresses neatly, she
is tidy; if sho is full of projects for the
morning's work and cxeoutos a reasona
ble number, she possosses mental activi
ty aud bodily energy. Keware of ihe
young woman who oouiplains of being
oold in the morning, who looks sickly,
who eats little, who comes down lato,
who appears to have dressed hastily, who
languishes a whole foienoon over a cou-
I pie of letters to an absent sister or
I schoolfellow. No matter how bright
I and animated she may appear later ou,
| avoid her. Lead her not to your su-
I turban villa, engage no matrimona'
