Daniel Monroe was fertile west Tennessee, a farmer in His dwel- liug w.n located in a small country town, while his goodly possessions were scattered abont in the way cf hrond fields and stately forests. He was, to use the vu'gar expression, a rich man. His quiet home in Bloomfield was an ideal one that is, to t he f ye of the poet, to the ye of one who could commuuo wiih naiuie, could revel iu the t'eauty of God's humblest creation, it was au idenl home. The hou-e ! itself was built on the southern plan a low, L-shaped building, almost surrounded by a shady ver anda, the depth of who?e shade was much increased by numerous vines! climbing and winding over lattice frames. Before the house lay stretched a beautiful lawn, shaded by a fw primeval oaks, than whose cooling 6hade none is more delihtfu'. Scattered about beneath the pro tecting arms of these grim giants of the forest were rustic benches and chairs. The whole scene was one of contentment. The May-day oua then sinking iu the west threw its golden gleam on shrub and flower, a gentle breeze slightly stirred the leaves of the trees and caused the flower-laden rose bushes to beckon at each other ami nod toiing wounded at the other's remarks. aud fro. The scene was really one which a poet cou'd behold and, gazing upon it, dream that he was transported mind, body, and soul to the "land of fancy free," to the Hills delectable, wberever they may be, And far beyond the nioun-down, the sun down, and the mist. For awhile the quiet scene was undisturbed by the presence of human being. The streets of the small town were deserted ; not even the storied small boy seemed alive everything was a happy dream. But this romantic sleep of fairy land was broken when there de scended from the veranda of the quiet villa two young ladies mere girls Bessie Monroe and livelyn Lanier. They were of about the same agp, Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet Womanhood and childhood fleet. Gazing with a timid glance On the brooklet's swift advance, On the river s broad expanse. Although they were cousins the girls were as unlike in appearance aud at heart as May and December. Evelyn Lanier, although two months the older, was net as tall as her companion. She lacked also a cer tain grace aud elegance with which Bessie Monroe was, it was evident, uuspaiiugly blessed. Evelyn was a blonde not one of those "beautiful blondes" who generally figure as angels or devils, as the case may be, in novels,but au ordinary blonde, with comely, yet not beautiful, fea tures. Her eyes, large and blue, plainly spoke of an intelligent iniud, yet they seemed to lack that intense glow which spoke so plainly of a profound mind iu her companion's ; eves. Bessie was a beauty. Tall and graceful, ot faultless form, with fea tures perfect features that would defy a Raphael to imitate with black, wavy hair hangiug loosely over her shoulders, and with eyes from whose mysterious depths seemed to flash the burning tires of poetry and love. A goddess could Iwell have envied her. As they walked to aud fro through the aveuue of oaks their conversa tion, with their hearts, turned to love and loved ones. "I5ur, liess , said Evelyn, "now can you love that awkward Ernest Lamartine He h neither haudsome i. v "Neither handsome nor rich 1'' re- plied Bessie with warmth, a slight blush tinging her fair cheek ; "per- haps be is not handsome to your (eye, and of coarse he is not rich Who cares for riches! I don't. I have told you many times, Evelyn, that I despised rjches. Ernest is handsome, he is true and noble, his mind runs in a deeper channel than towards the vanities of a vain world. Why, he is a poet.'' "A poet!" sneered Evelyn; "I jdare sy he is a poet! His garb is so poetic! A jeans f-uit is very poetic! I Ami tba' o!tl straw hat that flops (down over his face, isn'c that poetic? j Ha! h i !' i "Evelyn Lanier, you need not Upe.ik that way. With me poetrv 'does not consist of 1 lie manner in j which the poet, dresses. From the I heart springs poetry, and be that ' heart hidden beneath a ra?eil coat or a f-ilken vest the poetry i a genu!n Evelyn, you are vain. The vorM has for you a glitter and glow which attracts your entire attention; but. mv dfar cousin, you. thonffh ;i little older than I, cannot see life as it really is. You are a mere babe iu mind. You see the gold and tinsel id hfo mixed in one confused mass. iUJ sei. upon tho tinsel because of its glitter. Ah, cousin, you will learn better when it is perhaps too late. Till eel tarnishes, gold never." "Well, Bess, I thank you for yoHr sermon, but, I will be as happy as a qneen with John Weston while you will be the slave of a poor man with a teuder, simpering be.rr. a poet." "John Weston ! Why, he drinks.'' "WelJ, what if he does f He i3 iich.'' 'Tjichps take wings, honor never. I wouldn't countenance Johu Wes tou." "Nor I Ernest Lamartiue.'1 The two cousins parted, each feel- Daniel Monroe and his wife sat alone upon the veranda dreamily passing away the twilight hour. "Wife", said Mr. Monroe, and a shade ol auxiety passed over his face, "I don't kuow what to think of Bess; she is a queer girl." 'Yes; but a better daughter moth er never hau", replied his wife. "Yes, yes ; but she is getting to an age when er wbeu ou kuuw tbey mut be kinder watched, you know. You are aware that along about their sixteenth year they form attachments er in horr, tbey fall in love. It's their nature, aud I think Hess is natural. I think she is iu love." "Why, father", replied his wife, smiling, "upon what do you found your suspicions ?" "Oh, nothing particular; only she's always singing those same old songs you sang when we were young." "With whom do yon think she is iu love?'' "If with auy one it's with young Ernest Lama tme ; he who writes sonnets to spring and silly love verses.'' "Hush ! Y'ou don't thiuk she can think of loving Ernest Lamartine Why, he is poor aud she is rich and, then, who knows his origin ? He came here, but eight months ago, whence no one knows. We must put a stop to that. Now, young John Weston, the sou of banker Weston, from Hdlsburg, has asked me if he could not pay his addresses to our daughter and I refused him, saying that she was too yonng to think of love." "I am glad you did. Johu Wes ton is as much too rich as Lamar tine is too poor. Oar daughter musn't marry rich. She must marry a welUto-do farmer, honest and in dustrious " "Yes, and be a farmer's slave like I was. No, she must marry rich." It was finally decided by the old folks to send Bessie away to a famous female college, where she might have an opportunity of see ing life as the world sees it. Bessie eutered a famous and fash ionable seminary, with imposing buildings, extensive grouuds, and ceiebrated professors. Hero she was jt0 leain tbe ways ot the worM . .... j She was au industrious pupil and 'crewiu bodv as well as in mind grew iu body Around her were thrown the ni3uy j temptations which beset the way of j be unprotected. Fashionable life j wa9 sbowu up to be a goldeu dream: but Bessie, with a poet's eye, saw beyond the glitter and glow of the butterfly existence,sawthe nothing ness of society. Hypodisy clothed in the gaib of an augel was what she saw ou every hand. Deceit was underneath the tender words which she heard from the hps of every Inwardly she resolved to one. scorn the world for its giddiness, aul to love only the trno, the beau tiful, and the good. She choked down the weeds of vanity that per nided in springing up in her heart, and in their placs grew the flowers of a gold, u hope. Bessie graduated and retured to the quiet hoice in west Triinessoe. Her heart was as pure and noble as when, three years before, a mere chihl, sh had I- ft lu-r parerds nrte. Now she was launched upon the society sea She was the. bei'e o the village. Her peerless beauty at tracted attention far and near. Wealihy youug men came for miles around to pay to her their address es. They told long tales ot love, of their liehes, and promised noth ing but happiness if she would be theirs. But Bessie scorned the bub bles of vanity, and yet loved the true and the good.' Ernest Lamartine had disappear ed from Bloomfield as suddenly as he had appeared. People who had noticed the calm, quiet youth, gen erous to a taulr. and honored him for his peacefulness, soon forgot him, and among these were Daniel Monroe and his wife. When Bessie returned from college youug Lamartine had passed from the memory of all. - He was as a drop from the ocean of life. The w ives beat as h;gh as before he left ; the woild was as happy and i life was as gay. Ernest Lamartine, in his proud yet gentle manner towards Bessie when she knew him, had to'd her that he loved her. By the same means she had reu ied. Neither dared au open confession ; ueither wished such a confession. When 1 Bessie left for school she let t at home with the humble poet her love. Bessie had been absent but a few days when Mr. Monroe sought an iuterview with young Lauiartiue. "Ernest," said he kindly, for Daniel Alouroe was not an unkind man at heart, "for a long time I have been aware of the mutual love which you and Bessie enjoyed ; but let me warn you, my dear boy, be fore it is too late. Your station will not permit of your ever being more to Bessie than a distant friend. Un derstand me, 1 do uot wish to ceu sure you for the love which you have for her now, but I do wish to warn you against that snare of desperate love which is so fatal to happiness. I do not chide you you are acting from the impulse of nature but I wish to warn you of an impending danger. Ernest, you have life before you. Do not fere your happiness by loving one whom ;T0U cannot hope to wiu. Take my advice." "Mr. Mouroe," replied the young poet, and the tone of voice was a tone of heroism, "your advice is timely. I am poor, yet my heait is rich. I utver loved Bessie with the selfish love of the world no, I love her too much to ever think of draw ing her bright life down to be hidden by the clouds that encompass my existence. I shall never coae to love her, to revere her, and my highest hope i. to see her supremely happy the wife of some honest man. Farewell; Mr. Monro;-; I look upon you as a friend." As the young poet disappeared j in the distancp, Daniel Monroe looked after him saying, half audi bly : "He will make a mau ! A bad move on my part, that. Bessie would be fortunate iu getting buch a husband but, alas ! my poor wile, how proud and vain!" When Bessie returned home all trace of the whereabouts of Ernest Lamartine was lost, yet despite the . f-Aft tliaf ho wa limf tr hr wi'li a j ; . heart of purity she loved him and revered his name. During the years that succeeded Bessie Monroe communed with ua. ture pure and innocent nature. The birds -and the blossoms by which ebe was continually sur rouuded were her companions, and each day instilled iuto her heart a deeper, more aiviue sentiment. rom the light and sentimental she ad- vauced to the deep and profound. She saw far beyond the outward appearance of things into the mys tic. In the life i f etch flower she read of innocence. Through that innocence she saw lovr, and through that love she beheld God, draped iu robes most divine.

Jo. A. I'akker. Dr. Holmes oays: liI never saw a garment too fine for a man or a maid, there never was a chair too good for a cobbler or a cooper or a king to t?it in; never a house too hno to shelter tbe hum-iu head. There elements about us the glorioua sun, the imperial moon are not too good for the human rac. Elegance fits mau. But do we not value the-e fools a little more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgage a house for the mahogany we bring into it ? I had rather eat my din ner off the. head ct a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Btptist iu the wilderness, or eit on a block all my life, tbau consume all on my self befeie I got a home, and take so much pains wth the outside when the inside was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a great thing, but beau'y of garment, house, and tuinituie are, tawdry or naments compared with domestic love. All the elegance iu the world will not make a home, and I would give more for a spoDi.ful of real j t love tlnn for whole shin loads of furniture, aud a l the gorgeous ness all the upholsterers in the world can gather."
