"Stilnessof summer' nbpntide over
hill, and deep ' embowering wood
and rock, and stream, spread forth
her downy pinions,' scattering sleep
upon the drooping eyelids of the
air."
No sound broke the dreamy si
lence of the soft, balmy day; but sud
denly a bright happy voice rang out
merrily: '
'."Come to the woods in June,
Tis happiness to rove,
When nature's lyres are all in tune,
And life all full of love." ;
Beneath a wide spreading oak, in
a pleasant' yard, in all the careless
grace of youth, reclined a young girl.
just budding into womanhood. By
her side lay an open volume of Ten-
nyson, and through the leaves of tbe
lofty oak fell the , sunshine, flecking
n'ef .bairjwiih. fiQldenJigh
by'was a large house, which stood
upon an eminence,
at the foot of
which ran a river, lazily winding its
way over the hills and through the
meadows. The yard was green
with grass, smoothly cut, while the
flowers seem springing up at almost
every step. The tall oaks, quivering
aspens, and dark fir trees gave new
beauty to the scene. ' Down the
pathway came quickly, another girl,
seeking her friend, - whose merry
song had revealed her retreat
MNellie,w exclaimed the new-comer
with; an expression of amusement,
"I declare you are a perfect Epicure,
talrtnrr nrt thonfht for to-morrow. I

believe you are always giaa
in the
gay sunshine."
"Mary ,n exclaimed Nellie, startled
out of a pleasant reverie, "you sur-
nri mfi. I was iust building a
most charming air-castle, and lo! now
it 'has vanished into thin air How
beautiful is the summer! How
could one be unhappy, when all na
ture seems smilingly thankful for her
beauty? Yes, I guess i I must be a
'lily of the field,' toiling not nor
spinning, thinking of no future or
past, but rejoicing in the present.
Nellie's merry ;'blu eyes looked up
laughingly 1 at, Mary, who stood,
leaning against, the tree, smiling at the
enthusiasm of her friend.
"Perhaps yon are right," replied
Mary, "still.it is hard to dream; only
to bo rudel awakened, and you
know we must all sooner or later
test'for ourselves life's realities."
MaryUaughed- Nellie, "remem
ber, 'sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof so don't let's borrow
trouble, but be happy while we can."
"But I forgot to -tell you the
news," said Mary, ' "two gentle
men have come home with Lee, col
lege chums bf his; so quit dreaming,
and hurry to the bouse. I want you
to look your very prettiest. I heard
Mother tell Papa' this morning that

man. I have quite a curiosity to

door with; . ' - M

Nowgdon't keep us waiting.".;, ,
Nellie Holt was a guest and
schoolmate of Mary Lawrence's.
Nellie, . . warm-heart ed, outspoken
generous and impulsive, was full oi
strange contradictions. , Slie. was
merry and gay, arid ;heV' blue eyes
full of mischief and
Her face bad ; caught a new charm
lately, for over her girlish brow was
stealing the feanctity of woman's des
tiny. Her figure was rounded in
all the symmetry of youth, and her
heart was full of yearnings and vague
ideals of the "beautiful beyond.". ,
Jtfary Lawrence was. not pretty;
yet her soft grey, eyes, when lighted
up by animation, .lent a charm to a
face, whose sweet expression won
many kind" friends. She was not
sentimental, and often grew quite
eloquent, when speaking of the dese
oration of love, by modem lair ones
making a jest of such a noble feel
mg. She had high ideas of woman-
in the cause

firt ot5nffliirjuary T
to flirts and air last; girls. She be
lieved in the modesty of our moth
ers, and declared that men ought to
bp made better, not worse, by asso
ciation with women.
While Nellie was dressing, Mary
stood quietly by and watcliedhcr
friend's fresh young face. 1 here
was something so blithe, so free
from care, in the expression, that
Mary sighed half involuntarily, feel
ing in her heart? that "beauty is an

Nellie looked 'cnarmmg in ner
- - '. 1
white dress, with no ornament save
a half blown, rose, which nestled in
her bonny brown hair.
Mary was "nice looking" in a cool
lawn, with cherry colored ribbons,
but she could never give herself an
air of attractive, unconscious loveli
ness, which seemed Nellie's own by
riiht of nature's kindness.
"Hurry up Nellie," said Mary,
'there's the dinner-bell."
"Mary," replied Nellie, "I have a
nroBAntimflnt of COminiT ill. But of
course, I know yon think it is sheer
nonsense." ,
As they, entered the dining-room,
Lee Lawrence came forward, to in
troduce his friends and greet bis
sister and Nellie.
"Well, Mary," said Lee, after they
were all seated, "we have all three
come here for a glorious time, and
you and Miss Nellie must exert your
selves to entertain ns."
"Lee. : do be5 more gallant," spoke
od Mr. Green, "and say we are ready

J 1MW v -
the ladies."
1 Ta . means' that we are sure of
beinir pleased, and takes it for grant
ed that it is known that it is a pleas
ure to obey ladies," and Mr. Poller's
sarcastic smile curved his lips, while
uttering a sentiment he did not feel.
Mr. Green, wbo sat j near Nellie,
had an openr winning countenance,
and .his very presence seemed to say
"away with melancholy." His blue
eyes could laugh with fwny or grow
deep and earnest with thought.
Opposite Mary, Mr. Fuller sat,
whose handsome face was peculiarly
striking. There was about him such
a sense of reserved power; of deter-
niriation, of self-repression, in word,
in look, and act. His dark hair was

and met him with such friendly
kindness, that he might have felt how

itlle her heart had to give him of unfold, the stronger grew his inter
ove. But when by chance Robin's est m her. and the less nleasure he
eyes met hers, a strange thrill 01
pleasant pain shot through her, and
a flush rose to her face. '
One evening, she stole quietly to
her old retreat. Only two short
months or more, she7 had sought this
place, to build air-castles, and -enjoy
the delights of Summer. Now, to
night, she came, to bold communion
with herself in bitterness of spirit.
She knew, past all r doubting, her
heart was Robin's, and she felt
humbled to feel it was given un-
soujzbt.
" While she was thinking so bitterly,
she heard approaching footsteps ;
looking up, she beheld George Green.
He came and stood by her, watching
the slowly gathering shadows of
twilight.
"Well, Miss Nellie, we have bad
a pleasant Summer; "How quickly
the days have past ! I came here
gladly, and leave with, sadness." '
fYea," sighed Nellie, tbe Summer
has.nearly gone, witb'Sts. pleasures
to be.forgotten never f ; I wish some
times pleasant days would never end.1
"I don't know if it were best," re
plied George, "for the line ol pain
must run parallel with that of joy.
We could not love tbe lights of life, if
there were no shadows, to bring out
their beauties. Besides the mere
fact that such moments as these are
fleeting, few, and soon gone, gives
them a mournful charm. Then when
the pleasures are' dead, one can bring
them back by memory's magic wand,
leaving out' all that made tbem less
beautiful, and touching tbem with a
glow riot of earth."
! Then there was 1 long silence.
Greorge was thinking of the fair girl
at his side ; he knew he loved ber ;
yetr with a future to make, he felt
be had no right to woo her. . r
Nellie, too, was lost m deep
thonght. There was avague onrest
of mind and a bitter stirring of
heart, and she was wondering why
