The Cedar Tree.
Lay her beneath the Cedar Xrce,
Whose dark aad dainty tracery
Shall cast its shadow on her bed,
■ While solemn choirs, far overhead,
Of cawing rocks ah all to its boughs repair,
® And mourn for her that was so young aud fair.
® Lay her beneath the Cedar Tree,
£ Where soft winds rustle fitfully ;
e Where oft the timid deer shall stray
& T° shelter from the noontide ray,
t And tread the spot where, in the earth laid !O\Y,
3 Sleeps one who lived and suffered lonrf ago.
Nor mark the place with graven stone,
t Where-now she lieth all alono;
• But raiso where she doth sleep, a mound, '
j And scatter lilies on the ground !
) ' Enough to sho v that one doth tyaro abide
> Who, like the llowers fading, droned and died.
j The flitting bats shall court the gloom,
) And speed in circles round her tomb i
) And oft the"glow-worm, chastu and bright,
Shall for her honor trim his light,
For her whose life did, like a spark appear
In dtirkuess, dying when her day drew near.
Ah ! lay her iu the cool deep shade
B/ those o'erhanging branches made ;
And when the summer heat is fierce,
No baleful shaft to hor shall pierce.
Thus can she slumber on with tranquil breast,
- Who wearied-of her life, and longeA far rest.
When Winter's icy hand shall tear
The loaves aud strip the forest bare,
.Tlyj Cedarj clothed in verdure warm,
Alone can shield hei from the storm,
So lay her gently down with lender love',
Where the sad Cedur steads Its boughs above.

'ir only she Were not so very plain,'
eiglicd Mrs. Morton as she discussed her
daughter's future with her triemi. *A
plain girl nowadays has no chance at
ail.'
And poor Lizzie Morton had learned
to consider her want ot beauty almost
in the light of a misdemeanor.
'A woman has no right to be ugly>'
hei; fiil'lier would*ay ; and her -mother
would glance j*t her owu reflection in
the glass and murmur:
'Veryodd lhat-Lizzie takos after neith
er her lather or me.'
So it is easy to imagine that Lizzie
had 100 Hud forward to her first ball with
mingled feelings.
•It is very lhtle matter, after all,
what you wear, my dear.' her mother
had said. 'With your complexion any
thing will suit equally well.'
- And yfet, when Lizzie was dressed and
came down the broad staircase in her
whtle dress, with its trimmings of car
nations, and her cninson cape .over her
shoulder, she was by no means altogeth
er unlovely. . _ .
Her eyes had a soft, mild expression
ajid (ho little hesitancy -and shyness
made her lower the heavily-lringed lidir
which many a beauty might hare en
vied.
These heavy eyelids had been trouble
to her all her life. Her brothers hud
ridiculeu her for her sleepy look, aud
t*he had been accustomed to hear sharp
contrasts drawn between her mother's
wide open, largo gray eyes and her own
heavy look.
So she followed her father iu much
trepidation to tho carriage, and her
hcatt beat high as, after their short
drive, they reached Brandon Jlall,
with its blaze ot light and waiting
servants and general appearance of fess
tivity.
Mr. and Mrs. Brandon were cordially
greeted by their frieud, Sir Harry Wells,
and being among the earliest arrivals,
aud upon a footing ot the closest intis
macy, Lizzie was claimed by theyonnger
members of the family and carried off to
see tho decorations in tho upper room.
She had time to recover some erelf- i
possession before the guests filled the'
ballroom and dancing began.
Sir Harry's second sou came rip aind
claimed her lor the first waltz—be could
scarcely do less—bnt, that ordeal over,
she was left to sit quietly by her moths
er's sider.
She had been sitting still for a long
time, when suddenly her ear caught a
few, words—something about 'taking
compassion'—and she was startled a
moment after at hearing a few rapid
words ot introduction and finding a gen
'tleman standing beside her solicit rug the
pleasure ot a dance.
'Poor little girll how shy she is;'
thought Lord Pelham to himself, as she
gave a faint response and rose from her
seat. 'Well,one'must do a good-uas
ttfred thing once in a while.'
it lh e good naturcd thing did not prove
Very unpleasant.
Lord Pelbam'a well-bred courtesy
placed Lizzie at ber ease, and, much to
her own surprise,she found herself chat

ly discarded school davs aud ttris very
ball. „
; * I suppose,' said Lord Pelham, 'yon
were very much excited about your first
ball? 1 remember when my sister came
out what a fuss there was! It is a good
many years ago (by' Jove, they wouldn't
tlii&aK mo fur saying that though), and
every one thought that they would take
the toVhi by storm. You can't guess,
Miss Morton,' hesaid, warming to his
subject—'you can't guess how pretty
I hoy looked . 1 can sets thoin now, dear*
git-M' How proud I was ol them both! 1
> really don't know which was tlib pret
'* tier,' he added reflectively.
Lizzie sighed.
'Why !' continued Lord Pelham, as if
once started in his recollections he found
it difficult to stop. 'I remember, als
most quarreling with my cousiu be
cause Lily would dance the first waltz
with him! How absurd it seems!'
Are they married?' asked Lizzie, tim-
I hiiy.
'Married! Well—no,' said Lord Pel
ham, reflectively, 'and come to think oi
it, it's odd too, that I hoy haven't mar
ried, such pretty girls as they were.'
'I thought' said Lizzie, impulsively,
'that pretty girls always married—at
least—l '
N
'You- what?' askod Lord Pelham,
rather amused at hev aroused tone; then
as she 3l:rank back into her shyness lie
continued laughing:
'Well! 1 thought 100 ouce, tliat pretty
girls always married—but they don't you
' see! Why half the old maids were pret*
ty girls once!
'1 wish I were a pretty girl I' said
Lizzie, in a sudden burst of confidence,
, but so naively that no one could have
, suspected any desire for nnmeauing
compliment.
Her simplicity amused Lord Pelham
vastly. He glanced at her little uiicous
sdous (fi'-.o and after a second's hesita
tion asked, in a manner that put her
quite at ease:
> 'Would you mind telling mo. why?
, Are pretty girls stick enviable things?'
'1 think they are,' said Lizzie; 'l'm so
•ired ot being told how plain I am, every
one seeuis to think I can help it, aud I
can't you know;
, 'No!'said Lord Pelham. *1 suppose
, not, you weren't consulted about it,
were you? W.ell, nevermind. Miss Mors
ton, I'll tell yo'i something coint'ovt
. you. I've got a plain sister, and I love
, lier better than both the others put to'
getber,'and he looked so kindly at her,
I even with a littlo amused smile on his
> lips, that Lizzie's reserve melted quite
. away,
'ls she married?, she aske 1 in a hope
, ful. tone.
'Married! Yes, indeed, married the
, very first season 6he came ont and such
i a plain little body you never did see?'
r 'How did she manage it?' asked L!z
zie in a tone oi amazement.
Lord Ptflhatn fairly laughed—he
couldn't help it. This girl, this plain
| little girl, amused him vastly.
'Oh,' ho said, at last, -1 suppose some»
body was wise enough to know that
beauty is only skin-deep, and my sister
Janie has an angol's soul.'
'I don't think beauty is only skin
deep. I think it's heart deep. I would
give all I have to be pretty.
And as she spoke, such a wistful,
child like look grow in her face that ber
companion was touched.
I wouldn't think abont it it I were
you,' he said, altes a pause, 'Try and
put it out of your hsad. There are
plenty of tilings besides beauty you can
have. Den't you sing, or play?'
'I sing a little/ said Lizzie. 'Rut
• please don't tell any one. lam so afraid
Lady Wells will ask me.
'I won't betray you/ said Lord Pel
ham, more and more amused.
This naive little girl was something
new in bis world. There was something
abotft her, 100, which remiuded him of
bis favorite sister. He folt that Janie
would have liked her.
He took ber back to her mother, feel
ing very much aaif she were a little child
6ouffdod to his care.
♦Poor little girl/ he #«• thinking to
himself, 'la she so very plain ?
He bad really scarcely noticed ber, bad
asked ber simply out of 'compassion for
. ber loneliness' with no interest in her,
personally whatever. 3he had amused
him, though. He smiled again as he re
called her naivette..
Alter an Interval his thoughts recur
red to ber.-
'By Jove I 4 he thought, I'll take ber for
some refreshment/
And very much to her amazement, and
ber mother's surprise,she was escorted on
bis lordship's arm to the refreshment
i room. i
All ber shyness was goue, as far as

But Lizzie was not yet sufficiently at

oaeily/led on to give graphic desciip
'* lions of her home life; of iho brothers
ivho tensed her, end tlie sister, a year or
■ twa younger, who was longing to come
out, aud who was such a regular beaut
t/.
' 'So fair, you kuow, 4 said Lizzie, with
1 a touching reflection upon her own dull
' and freckled skin,'and .with such lovely
large blue open eyes- 4
'By Jove!' thought Lord Pelham,'l
wish she'd look at me. I'd lik6 to see
what her own ejes are like.'
But this wish at least was vai>t. Not
even her gratitude—and shy Lizzie was
overpowored with grati!ude lor all his
attention—could giyo her courage to
look, up at him.
He remained near her, chatting, till
the carriages were announced, and oven
lingered to place her cape round her
shoulders, aud bid quite a cordial Good
night to her parents; but, after all, his
curiosity was not satisfied.
'And so Lizzie did da'uee!' said hev
elder brother next day, as the ball was
eagerly dUcussod.
'Danco? said her father iu high good

Lord Pelham above all!'
•Yes,' said Mrs. Morton reflectively,
'it was very good natured of him. 1
heard him say something about compas
sion ;he was sorry to see her so lone*
Lizzie herself was so convinced that
this was tlio caie that she was not the
leas!, annoyed, only when sho went up
stairs she staid a moment longer than
usuul before the glass, and, raising lier
heavy lids, looked herself straight iu (he
face.
'He's very good natured, 1 she thought
•I wish 1 were uot so very plain.'
Lord Pelham's curiosity abont thoso
eyes were singular, lie found himself
speculating more unreasonably o;i the
subject, and wondering color
' would suit hor lace.
i
Almost any color, he was forced to ad
mit, would do. The dull, sallow skin,
( the ill-forined nose aud wide moulb, no
eyes could wholly redeem them, aud
probably the fringed oyelids wore a com*
pensatiou.
Well, well, wliut did it matter? lie
supposed that they should never meet
again. Why should they ? He did not
Intend remaining in the neighborhood*
aud, had he intouded it, be had no ex
cuse for calling.
But they did Meet. Somehow, on
Sunday uiorniug, a sudden and most
unwonted impulse seized Lord Pelham
to attend service in tbe Village church.
He went in late, a little embarrassed, if
the troth most be» told, at bis own ac»
lion.
He fat very quietly In the corner of
tho pew to which the old verger canduct
ed him, and only felt at home when the
droning choir began the Psalms. Then
he looked about, and soon caught f
of Mrs. Mortou's handsomo faco.
'By Jove! What a pretty girl!' he
thought, as his eye wandered past to
rosebud of agifl—'tbe beauty,' evidently,
of poor Lizzie's tale—and next to ber
sat his thy Iriend herself, the downcast
lids more drooping tliau ever,' tho dull
complcxiou more laden besido the bright
blue eyes and.pmk and wbitd of tbe pret
ty sister.
Still, Lord Pelham's glance rested on
on tbe plain (ace of bis earlier acrfnaint
auce. Tbo service seemed wonderfully
short, and when tint congregation left
tbe chancel be found bimhelf side by side
with Mrs. Morton.
'Going our way?' she asked, in the
porch: aud so naturally enough, be ac
companied them 1 homeward, even walk
fog fhforigh theif pt'tt tiff to the Very
door.
'Mr. Morton's in (be oouservatory, It
yotr care to Join bfm,' 1/tri, Morton ven
tured to say, her motherly heart all in fa
flutter; for here, she decided, was a
Chance for pretty Rose. i
Aud Lord Pelham did care, it app'eaf
ed, and bad a chat with tbe master of the
boase, found scfndry points of interest
in common, aud even stayed for tbe
family dinner.
'Horribly uuaristocralic ho mnst think
us!' feared Mrs. Morton, as she explains
ed tbaj the early dinner enabled the
servants to go to church.
Little Lord Pelham cared nothing for
her chatter; he -was wholly occupied #i(h
tho plain face opposite to hiin.
lii vain pretty Rose bridled and
blushed; in vain sho peeped up at liiin
withher most bewitching nir. Ho was onlj
conscious of one fact about her, which
was, that she snubbed her elifer sistor.
Sq did eyery one else, it appeared to
him; for when Lizzie ventured the re
mark— wi.ich she rarely did—it was geo 1 -
ernlly met I .darfc say you
| think so!'
Tho neighborhood began to talk very
soon after this eventful Sunday in the
Morton's lifo. L'-rd Pelham leinaiueii
at his friend's—Sir Harry Well's—and
came so often to the Lodge, evinced such
an interest in all Mr. Morton's improves
ineiils—actually invited tho boys to his
manor for tho September shooting—that
ho scorned utmost like one of (he funiily.
c
One day iu (ue early winter, when flic
hedges wero sparkling with hoar-frost,
and the roads were leginniug to harden,
Lord Pelham took his familiar way to
the Lodge.
He was thiuking, as ho walked along,
of many things about hit> intimacy there,
and his thoughts involuntarily turned to
Lizzie, He went back in his tiiitid to
• heir first Hioetlhg:
'I declare,' ho said to himself, 'she
iiever gives me a chanco to seo what
those eyes are like. And how they do
snub her at home,, fo bo Sure! Well,
poor littlo thing! she's worth a hundred
times more than ihQ pretty doll Rote
will ever be I'
He wds walking briskly along, -when
bis attention was arrested by a little
figure which, turning a corner some dis
tance betore him, was hurrying, almost
i-uuuiug« toward him.
'Why, by Jove!' exclaimed he, quick
ening his steps j 4 il*s Lizzie. What can
be (he matter?'
Aud as they rrie't, Lizzie, with palo,
frightened faco, clu#g (o his aria.
'Oh, Lord Pelham!' she cried, bresith
lessly, 'l'm so frightened! Those hor
rible men! I ran as bard as I could. They
actually spoke to trip. There they come! 4
As she spoke a band of (ramps turned
tho 6aihe comer, evidently in high en
joyment of her terror.
'They begged/ explained Lizzie, 'and
I was so frightened. 1 never was
to in the Street before. I never go alone
—only Dame Brown is sick iu tbe iril*
(age, and wanted to see me. 4
Lord Pelham was very indignant. Ho
at first thought he wouid expostulate
wilh tho coming tramps; but feeling how
undesirable it would be on her account,
lie contented himself with placing her
little trembling hand on his arm, and
captipg fierce looks at tliem as ho passed,.
'Never mind, LizzTie!' he said; when,
having turned tbe eorner, they wero out
ot sight. 'Yon don't feel frightened
now—do you?'
And he stood sIIH and took both (be
little shaking hands in his.
'Uh, no!' said Lizzie, lookiug straight
ug in his face, and (hen at last be saw
tjiejcyos, the deep violet eyes, swimming
in tears> with their, cbiid-like look of
trftst and dependence. 'I know you
will take care of tne.'
'Lizzie!' said bis lordship, impulsive''
ly—'Lizzie, I want you to let me always
take care of you. Be nfy wile, Lizzie—
my den* little wife. 4 ,
'Oh I' said Lizzie, drawing her hands
away suddenly. /'Yon can't ftiiau ft; ]

did mean it, aud the world has long for
