'limes, and fret at others ut the va-ue loiiiliiiL's ami ti.icvrli.in impiilsus she found within herself. There had come to her. this unl'oiiiied life of It.-rs, tho inesti mable blessing of a healthful, sincere, lov ing friendship for another Woman. We are apt It: smile ut the nttachincnl thiit cirls contract for each other and lo fancy thut, like their girlhood itself they pass swiftly away; but the friendship between Margaret Hamilton and Judith Kdcrtoti, founded as it was in kindness of heurl, in mutual frankness, and mutual trust was not likely to prove of this evane scent type. Vol, so different were the two that their affection niiht have been used to prove how "opposites attract." Mart-are! was, us we have seen, more ihan half inclined lo be a dreamer, slight nf li. line and refined of nature. Judith r.ihicrton, on the other hand, was a fiirl overflowing with the liitli spirits and lite which spring from perhs-t physical health, and abundance of physical strength. Sin could ride u horse bare-back, or saddle liiu. herself if need were;, she loved sun shine and open ail, voted books 8 bore ( unless Margaret wi.ul.sl tn talk about tin in.

But the Kdjfertoi.H knew tin. value of money ns well, or belter, than their more aristocratic, neighbors; ami wi, gei.er.itio.. by g t.,a. tinll had lowly acquired tho mighty dul ler, refusing to transmit gold into negroes, but lending it out where il would bring more 120I.I. and thus, when ll.o war ended the.v were tussessed of Dronertv which did not vuuislt beforo the thunder of the "Kiuancipation procliiuiation." Aud to their own surpriiu they found thi-niselves among "tho tidiest people it. the county;" o that Judith had grown up as an e.pial with fumilioB who would have held them selves fur superior, socially, to her grand father; and she and Margaret were friend ly acqaaintttucos, a position they would probubly have always held, had not Ju dith attended Mrs. Hamilton's funeral. When tho returned from that sad burial her tender heart constantly reminded her of Margaret as she looked lonely and mis erable, in the big house at Fairfax. Think ing with Judith was eminently an aclin verb, aud she did not think of Margaret long before she decided to go to her. "Mammy," she said to her grand mother, ono morning, "my father and mother died when I was too young to know it; and you and grandpa have been so good to tno that I have never missed them, never. 3t.it it is different with uoor Margaret Hamilton, and I itui going to ride over to sen her to-day." She went, and found Margaret sitting alone in I ho hall, so su.l and (Injected that she was not conscious of Judith's presence until the girl, her whole heart melting into sympathy, clasped her in her arms, iiying, while her warm tears fell like rain on the others tear stained face: "Margaret, I'm mighty sorry for you;" Then .Margaret, without a word, put her head on Judith's shoulJer, and tho two sobbed together, euch sob welding links between their young hearls, too strong for any after shock to, break. And the friendship thus begun grew closer, and was a healthy influence fur boll, girls, because of tho vciy differences of tlieii needs and their natures. Mar garet exulted in Judith's beauty, and courage, while Judith declared that "what Margaret doesn't know about books and manners, and everything like that, there's mi use trying to learn." "A mutual ad miration society," Mr. Hamilton said they f.il'iu.'il, and boll, he and the IMg'Tlnns encouraged the intimacy; though indeed, there weie few things this devoted father and lli.'se doting grandparents would not have encouriiL-ed, if their (wo children wished it so. When Margaret left school, a year after her mother's death, Judith, who was more than twelve months her senior, and who Wiis iiliciuly u village belle, introduced her to the Fairfax beaux will, many a word of eulogy; and the two, us Margaret said, doubled their pleasures by faithfully de tailing to one another when they met every incident that had occurred since their last p iriing. Of one tiling liny were entirely convinced, that lleywoo.1 ..lonltnrt was the very handsomest man in the world as also, the best mannered and the bright- e-it; and they experienced many u moment of triumphant delight at tho marked pre ference he showed for them, over any of the other Fairfax girls. Sometime:!, however, they touched on the fact that their Adonis iiti'tit not be perfect, as when, one day in the Fall, Mar garet said, concluding a conversation about him: "It is a pity he is so lazy. He make a nice beau; but I do love to see a man a mou." "So do I," Judith answered, "and Hey wood could be, if be would. I wish I could shako him," sho added vigorously, linking us if she had ipiite enough energy to shake half u dozen idlers, into activity. "Isn't it a pity I'm not a man. Meg?' she asked, ns her bright black eyi-s spark led, ami she sriuarcd back her flue hIh.uI- ders as if conscious of her strength. "If you were, Judith," said Margaret regarding her admiringly, "I would do my best to 'catch' you." "Why, of course I'd court ymi," Mi- Jiidilh replied, emphatically. Which inn ti.ally complimentary termination to their talk conclusively proved that, howev much they liked Mr. Montfort, there were no jealousies betweeu tl.eu.; tint yet, ai any rate. Margaret had scarcely watched her li. titer out of sight on the Sunday morning which oiH-iis this chapter, when sho saw Heywisid Montfort coming. How handsome and gn.eetul he was. as. will, his slouch hat pushed back from his white forehead, he strolls leisurelv along in the sunshine, idly tapping will the litiht cane lm eat'i'ie.l, the gravel It'oui out the circular wall; ! Xo wonder th. two young girls tiuunrcu mm. lie was tall and slendc: almost to a fault, will long whiie hands, and a I. ice w li w lieau-y iiuhi h.tve been ell'eniinate. had it nm ueeu tor ail occasional glean, m me gra t-ves, and a way the mouth shut sonielim. in hard lilies under the silky black mous tache. "Kvery inch a geulleiiiiin," Mar garet was wont lo say ho looked. And yet, with a larger frame, a rougher da.-, and u carabine or two, Heywood Monlfort with those eyes of his might have typified i he ideal Brigand, Ulte ns perl.K lly us lie now, to Miss llamiluii.'it admiring id, represented the ideal genilemau; or with those same t-yi-s rust down; and the curthi ness, l.-lt by dis-ipation, painted mil of it, bis beautiful face, and well shaped head would lint have sconicd amis with a saint's halo n hired above il. And then' wos the ui.in; evil and good both to be see., in him, a mixed character in which, nt thirty, it wits still a question as to whether dark- mss or light would gain permanent smiy. Margaret had been thinking of hi.u pityingly this morning, investing him with the feelings she, herself, would have exv rienced at losing the drove, had it been her hereditary estate. Hut when she saw him approaching hor, apparently so cbeei ful and indifferent, her fecliugs underwent t sudden revulsion, aud she felt within herself a strong recutroucfl of Judith's de sire to shako him. "Did you meet l'apa ?" she aakisl as Heywood reached tho steps. "Ych" he answered, regarding her re proachfully, "I met him, but it seems to mo, you need not be so absorbed in him as to forget to tell a man you are glad to sec bin.; and ask him to come in it is too chilly out here for any but a warm hearted young lu.ly like you." "My Lord ChcsteiDeld," said Margaret, bowing profoundly "I am much pleased to see you, aud if you will do mo tho honor to enter, you will fin 1 a good firo in the parlor." "Vou uio excited1 Heywood said, as they sat tlown before tho bright firo. "Did anybody ever tell you how becoming excitement is lo you Mademoiselle? "Wo did have un exciting. episodo yes terday" she answered, ignoring his last sentence "aud I am still speculating ubout the stranger we met." "A stranger?" asked Heywood with In terest, then, instantly resuming his former tone, he udded: "A young stranger no doubt, and a masculine one, of course, or you would not be so agitated. " Xo he isn't young; he is ever so much older than you are" said Margaret glanc ing archly ut him but with a tone her voice which, to Iley wood's delight showed that ho was teasing her as he often did by this airy manner of his. "And papa thitiks," continued she that he may buy the grove, to-morrow." lleywood's face changed at this so perceptibly, that Margaret instantly ro- jretle.l the success of her shaking; but ho i.iiswereu, coolly cnougli: "I hope he will give a good price for Then u pause eaine, which Hey wood ended by wiving: 'I think, Miss Margaret, I ca.no hero this morning, Imping you would niako mc forget (hat it had to be sold." "And I reminded you of it," sliu said, remorsefully, "Oh ! Mr. Montfort I am very sorry but " "Hut what?" ho queried as sho hesita ted. "Never leave a sentence unfinished like that, it tempts people to manufacture all maimer of disagreeable endings." "That does not follow," Margaret an swered und attempted to lead tho conver sation I j other things. "No, no, Miss Daisy," (Heywood said smiling, and using a name he had adopted for her, "because sho was so frel. and sweet," be told her oueu.) "Vou must tell me w hat You were going to suy. Out with it, no matter what it is there might be worse things than eveu a lecture from you. His voi e and his eyes were tender as they could bo w hen he chose, and Margaret bad it tint in lur heart to bo severe to hint; but hu was persistent, us ho also could h when he cense, und at lust she said, with u shade of th "iicrat.on : "Well, I was goiug to say, if you will make me tell you ." ("Yes I will," Heywood s: id, answering her look) "that 1 was so sorry to see thu grand old place go to strnn 'era; and that it made mc lose puticnc" to sec you, a man, ami a man of such talents us you have, willing to sit still ni d let it go, without even one effort to savj it.

"Miss Margaret," ho said seriously, when ho turned to her. "VTou don't knew tho jie.tiiing of obstacles, because you have never tried to surmount one. Hut why i hould you und I discuss that," he said, d 'missing the subject impatiently, "(lo and get your hat and let us walk over the t Id place together, beforo it goes away froi . tho family forever." "Don't say forever" Margaret said cons.ilit.gly, "you may work and buy it back." Heywood smiled down in his liy fashion on the earnest face lilted to him. "Miss Daisy, you tiro too young to have learned that there is nothing iu this world worth working for." ".Miss Jtaisys Iniiiht lirown eves flashed at this, as if slui were about to make some other enrnest ur energetic speech; nut as she met the halt cynical at hall laughing gntc of the gray onus resting oil her, iho too smiled, theu ligln il and rising went for her hat without a word. "What nn exceedingly swent young woman she is," thought Heywood ns he watched her out of the door. Ho was in dolent and dissipated, and told himself, as he hud told Margaret, that there was nuthii. g iu the world workiug or striving for, yet, with all this, he still had it in him to be pleased and attntetetl by thc ptira young Womanhood, and fr.-sh ear nestness ho found it. Margaret. Hamilton, and he liked her none the less for her little lecture to himself this morning. I'llAITKIUII. "A HINl.l'I.AR COINCIKKNUK." We who have lived all our lives in thi sunuy South of ours, this fair laud of rich fields, of primeval forests, of rushing water courses, find it hard to realise tho magni tude of our resources and the extent of our hiddeu wealth. It is as if a giant were sleeping and we, like Lilliputians. play around him and on him, unconscious of his strength, becauso we have never iwin it tmtiul Rnt Mr U,,h..rt Tntnhin - ..... . . . - had come from the world ivhoreman moots nature and calls forth from her each power she possesses which may aid him in his pursuit of pleasure or wealth; and ho saw keenly during his Sunday morning ride, how some of the money ho had made elsewhere might bo here invested and made, in time, to yield "at lenst twenty-five per cent," said calculating Mr. Trenton to himself. Ho had not, however, decided to pur chase; and ho and Mr. llumiltou rode on in silence which, at length, Mr. Trenton broke by saying, abruptjy : "Mr. Hamilton, afler whom is your daughter named ?" Ho was wu(ehh;g tho effect of his ques tion and noticed a slight change (it uiiht have been from surprise, cross Mr. Hamilton's face, us he uuswered u trifle curtly : "After her mother; lny wife's name was Margaret (ircyson." "What a fool 1 um" thought Mr. Trenton with a sense of impatience und disappointment; und he did nut again recur to the subject. He, however, ac cepted Mr. Hamilton's invitation to din ner, and time and again the same ghost seeing sensation crept over him, as some look or action of Margaret's re-called an other Margaret to him. His eyes, indeed followed the girl so constantly, that at length she became obviously embarrassed by it. "toumiisl not mind my looking at you" be said, when they were nleiic a moment, "I cannot help it. Vou remind mo constantly of u woman I once lovetl very much." Margaret's face grew into interested sympathy at once. "I am glad 1 do" she said softly. "I don't kuow that 1 an.," Mr. Tren ton answered "yet I must be, or you would not draw me lo you so. And her name was Margaret too" he added, more us if wondering at it to himself than tell ing Margaret. A man with a history ! thought Miss Hamilton and she lorthwitb set about weaving that history. "May-be .-he jilted him or may-bo she is dead" conjec tured tho young lady; ami so thick and fast tlid possibilities crowd upon her, that being possessed, like inn.it of her sex, of some curiosity an 1 unlimited power of sympathizing, she longed to ask questions that she might exercise both the above mentioned laudable qualities. But Miss Hamilton's well-mannered instructors had often wanted her of the inconvetiience u question sometimes oc casioned; and indeed, Mr. Trcntou gave her small time for questioning, for, recov ering himself quiek'y, ho said : "That is only a coincidence, of course, but such a singular one ho said smiling ti.at it is quite reiuarkablo enough for you to make a romance of." Margaret colored slightly us sho remembered the ro mance she had made; but answered lightly, adopting his manner, though tint without a senso of disappointment : 'I see papa lias beeu convincing you ilea I am a dreamer but I will trust to time for vindication, having heard that Time is is sure to bring justice as eveu Lawyer Hamilton is." And o the subject was dismissed lightly ou both sid-s, us people learn to do in this world, when, inadvettenily, they have stirred deep pools of feeliir one more ripple ol whicit, would bring to the surface emotions which society aud instinct touch us tu keep hidden. But, though they talked of other things, Margaret und Mr. Trenton thought of this; ami ho understood cr feclly tho delicato proffer of sympathy her words contained when, us ho urose to say good-byo, sho held out her hand to him, and said in her pleasant womanly Voice : "Pon t suv .Miss Hamilton. .Mv frirmts call n.e Miss Margaret and you will let mo count you one of them, will you not ?" "As long us I live" ho answered ear nestly and from that moment Mr. Iu.li crt Trenton took tins gentle young woman into his good graces, with un uf f -rlion and pleasure new to hi in in the solitary life he had led, away from any ftening influence and from that mo ment loo, if he had known it, Mr. Iluiui! ton might have felt sun. of a good pur chaser for the I i rove. m lK costini:ei OK. MARY WAI.KKIt TOIIAtTO.

Mel. would shut her out of our literature, but I am not one of them. The girl ut tho front gate can never grow old to those who have been there with her. Years may come und go, but the music of the low voice ut the front gale will not be stilled, and the iticiu ory of the cherry lips we kissed ut the front gate will hold out faithful to the end. What if the old gato docs sag and its hinges rattle mid its latch refuse to hold it shut? What if the posts lire shaky and some of its pickets gone ? We love the dear old relic still. We love it for the sake of the girl who used to stand out there by it with ruses on her cheeks and tieclnr on bet" lips. Wo held the old gate up ami counted the stars and bid good-bye, and then counted the stars ii";tin. How uiiiiiY limes of a night was good-bye said? How many times did lips meet over tho old dear gate ? The old gate knows, but it will never tell. The old front gale may have counted the kisses, but 1 never did. And I .'unsure the girl with the peach bloom cheeks never did. Ami what of the girl will. the peach bloom cheeks? Ah ! me. She married another. She forgot her vows at the old front gate, us some girls will, and married a richer and hotidsomcr man. And I ? Well, I went off to another front, gate where there were other peach bloom checks and other lips its sweet and just as many stars to count. And now 1 have a front gate of my own, ami a girl of my own with peach hlooiu cheeks, who counts the stars with the boy of the girl whose vows made with mc at the first Trout gato were broken. Hut ho is a true, good boy, and my girl is a good, true girl, and Heaven bless then, both as they stand to-night at tho old front gate. IS UICST ON ICOW. TIIK 31 OH- To-morrow we rest.

Worship, not of necessity withiu a crowded church, or 'u -all. a painted roof und pointed spire, but in that grander ihurch where each and all may worship as they will, which naluro has provided for mankind. Pleasure, not ill the crowded theater, or sultry pleasure ground, but pleasure pure and simple and free from all the heat, exciterhent and dsc mockeries that in the town usurp pli.ee. There is an atmosphere of freedom, a choir of swoot and lovuly singers, a thrilling sermon, und a low voicetl prayer for those who seek the for est deep, the picturesque ravine, tho rug ged hill, the field and valley on to-morrow. Let every tired man and woman go out into nature's presence and learn to be a buy or girl again. The trees you loved in youth and knew so well will rus- slill, the same old monody. The birds will sing us sweet and sw .y as blithely to ami I'm on twig or branch as when you watched them years ago.
