"And tltouch a thousand read these lines
liSutralnSiiill understand."
I lind a friend once, and she was to mc
Whatfragranoe. is to flowers, or song tp bird
IMrMJf my lielng but there, came n tlmo
(I cannot tell you how, or when, or where)
A time that severed us. There was no fierce.
Hot trouble at our parting. It was calm,
Because It was so gradual. Ere I knew
Wo had crown cold nt meeting, colder still
At our good-bye. Hut looking on It now,
After Ions years, I marvel nt It all.
And ween more tears than I did then, bv far.
Overthls strange, sad parting, thli blank wreck
Of love, and hope, and friendship, and warm
trust.
Oh. It Is pitiful this breaking up
Of human sympathy and tweet heart tryst!
Had we so many friends this friend and I
That we could well afford to give the slip
KaolUo the other drifting thus apart.
Like shins that meet noon some t ronin sea
For one brief, passing hour, exchange stale
news,
Govlp of cargoes, or the last made port.
Then sail away, each on Its separate course,
And never dream or care to meet again !
I think the heart crows charv of Its friends.
As years and death do steal them from our
grasp;
I could not let a friend go now as I
Did her: for I was then both were voung.
Ah, well! I wonder If she cares, or If
She ever thinks of those old. foolish davs
When with her hand In mine, we sat and
uiiKeu,
And vpwed eternal friendshipendless, tru6t
It mayrbbso; and If this Idle verse
(Albeit not so Idle as it nmd
Should meet her eye I would. I would It
mlcbt!
She, too, may give a slgli to tho old days.
And wish with me that one had been more
true
And both more patient thai olden time

The clock struck three, and like a
minctual fate. Polh-. shovel in hand,
tlunc wide the oven door. Forhours that
mystic laboratory had been at work,
uii&euii ui muriai eye, aim iu
compounded of spice, of sumtr, of crusted
loaf and savory fowl, which now floated
forth and fllled the kitchen, told the re
sult Far through the house spread the
delicious whiff, and a stir and bustle
overhead announced that some one rcc-
ognized tlx; signal and knew that the
baking was done. .
In and out traveled the busy shovel
till the inner depth, where yet a red
clowlineered. was reached, cave up its
last treasure, and Polly, making a fan of
her apron, stooii ueiore the tabic to
inspect the results. There they were
ranged in order due, the loaves brown
and white, the rolls, the crackling pork
and beans, the 'lection cake, that diffi
cult dainty, over whose precarious for
tunes she had watched till midnight, the
two-and-twenty pies, gold, brown and
cranberry red, toothsome mince and
translucent apple, custard flecked with
cinnamon, tarts open-mouthed and
gasping for the friendly jam; and in the
midst, its dish-like yellow earthern
ware towering above the rest, the huge
chicken-Die. to whose comnosition had
gone such wealth of cream, of celesy, of
latteu punets, as is not oiten met with
outside the limits of the Pursall farm.
"With something of the feeling of a Gen
eral at the head of his battalion, Polly
reviewed her forces, noting here and
there a special ly crisp edging, and in her
own mmu apportioning tins anu that to
Uncle Nathan or Aunt SaDDhira. and
these to grace to-morrow's dinner, for
to-morrow" was JNewJ-.ngiana's special
day that "great day of the feast" in
behalf of which Governors are wont to
make proclamation, and neighbors to vie
in friondly zeal of housewifery and kind
remembrance of those who have no por
tion of their own.
"Yes," said Polly, half aloud, "that
will be best for the Bulger children, I
kucss. xiie crust is a little loo brown,
but they won't mind that, and it's so big.
Then old Aunt Piggett shall have this;
and that one Pll send"
An approaching footstep cut short the
soinquy, and blushing rosy red, she
caught upone special pieand hurrried it
into the table drawer. Next moment
lier mother entered.
"Well, Polh-, done ?
"ies, mother. Come and look at
mem."
Thoy mnde a pleasant picture, that
mother and daughter, as they stood side
oeiorc mo long ironing-table.
Mrs. Pursall was tall and erect, the very
model of a farmer's wifn s
wit face unfurrowed by the wheels of
ymi, jigiit team, care ana worry, who
drive so heavily over female good looks
in our country, and smile unditnmed
and bright, it was easy to vision forth
the bonny bride who, thirty rears be
fore, had passed through that door on
her wedding morning, to bo from
thenceforth the joy and comfort of all
Within. And beside her stood flin viclnn
renewed in early youth, the same eyes
or happy blue, the same dimpled cheeks,
the same capable hands; for Mrs. P. was
a noted housewife, and Polly inherited
the gift in full measure. It was with a
little heart-beat that she now watched
her mother's critical survey, and the nod
with which It concluded.
First-rate, dear; I never saw better.

Did you ask anybody to come in the
evening beside tho Watsons and Jim?"
"No, ma'am that is yes," began
Polly, flushing and flustered: "I mean I
didn't ask, but wiicn Phil Ralston was
herein the summer, he said he should
drop in if he could, and I told him we'd
be happy to see him."
"Oh, well," replied Mrs. P., too intent

at last he took to teasing about the pies;

say they should, until a decisive worn ,

the sun comes or the dew; eyes asw, anu

boltj butrher strength is weakness; open
flics the door, and Cupid takes possession
for bliss or bale. "Which in our Polly's
case, it was to be, remained to be shown.

Pnllv trazfi on Hits rhrf-tP aUVTC before
committing it to tho top shelf of the
laniry, anu men, rapiuiy restoring an 10
ts pristine tidiness, she fled up-stai;
for there was a hat to be trimmed;
housekeeper though slje was, Polly was
no less a girl a girl of eighteen, and
what was more, tho prettiest girl of that
age in Cohasset. Something was due to
this eminent position.
So. shut into her room, she sat adjust
ing the killing little feather on her new
turban, turning now and then to survey
tho effect in a morsel of looking-glass,
and by-and-by, as the gold began to
gather round the sunset, a sound came
on the wind the distant shriek of a lo
comotive. Tho train arrived at the
junction, four miles away. Far above
the woods, she could see tne uim, nine
smoke. Down went tho new hat, and a
lovely smile parted her lips. That shriek
meant run; anu 1 question n ucctno
ven's finest sonata could at that moment
have seemed more musical so true is it
that we listen with tin inward ear to
which all sounds are melodious if they
suggest tilings we love.

him she rubbed the crimson apples till
they shone, heaped the clusters so taste
fully, and crowned the vases with
chrysanthemums and gay leaves. The
caudles she Inserted In the tall, plated
branches should brighten mc room
when he entered, the noble hickory logs
should warm, the polished andirons
please his eye. She lent her whole
attention to the icing Phil liked loaf
cake. And if ever the spirit of Lady
Mary "Wortley's sentiment was carried
out if ever a room ceased to be a room,
a dinner a dinner it was now, when,
transmuted by tender alchemy, the old
farmhouse took on a higher meaning,
and Mrs. Pursall's nuts and apples be
came Indeed "the refreshment provided
for a beloved."
All things in order at last, a merrv
Carty set off for church father, mother,
rothertlanies, his wife and child first
installment of the family gathering
and in the midst, Polly. Tho sun shone;
the crisp leaves rustled under foot; in all
Cohasset was no blither face than that
crowned by tho new turban, as our little
maid toon lier seat in the gallery front
row as one of the village choir. How
everything seemed to smile! she loved
the Uovenior for arranging tins delight
ful day this day which made so many
people happy.
It was early, the nielodeon was play
lug a low. droning voluntary: the creen
curtains were half drawn plenty of
chance for the choir to peep out and
whisper, a thing that all choirs like to,
do.
'I say. Polly, where did vou irol that
feather?" asked her neighbor. "I only
wish somebody would civo me one. It's
just elegant."
"Mother bought it," said Polly, her eye
on the door.
"Who aro you looking for. Pollv?
Your mother? There she is, now. AVhat
a gooa-iooKing woman James' wire is,
isn't she?"
"I suppose you have heard the news,
Polly ?' broke in another whisper from
behind. "Tho news about Phil Ilal

faintly, with white lips.
"Steve saw them our Stove, you
know. He came in the same train, and
there was Phil getting out with his wife,
and the Squire meeting thctn, and look
so surprised; and Phil, he said, 'Father,
I've got a new daughter to introduce to
you.' And then somo more in a low
voice, which Steve couldn't hear; and the
Squire, he almost cried, and he shook
hands and said : 'You're welcome, my
dear.' That was all Steve saw, for he
had to come away; but Undo Ilucbcu

lora moment an swam bcrore 1'oiiy's
eyes. Then the mist cleared again, and
shet saw Squire Jlalston's -white head
passing up the aisle, followed by his
sister, a dear old lady, who kept house
for him; then Phil, and by his side a
lady. "With unnatural fire In her blue
eyes she scanned the stranger, noting

her Inexperienced vision seemeu sonie

Phil's wif. tho woman he nreferred to
all others! And with a sudden power of
hatred, Polly felt that she hated lier.
AH the sweet, even pulses of her noble
nature seemed turned into bitterness
and fire.
"She looks old for Phil, doesn't she 7"
whispered the other girl.

sorap of newspaper left on Deacon
Bunkers-face from his morning shaviug,
and on which could bo plainly read,
"Lost and strayed," with the after-clue
of "heifer" just below. Bhe remembered
the exact position in which Phil stood
as he held tho hymnbookopcn for his
wife! That was too much. Polly drew
tight the green curtain and looked no
more.
"You're pale, to-day," whispered the
friendly gossip in tho rear, "or else your
hat isn't becoming."
This roused lier pride. Bad as it was
to be miserable, it was worse to be
pitied; she bit her lips till they were red,
and (takingad vantage of the last prayer,
lam sorry to say), inflicted a series of,
furtive pinches which restored their
bloom. Coming down stairs with the
rest, she saw, she was sure, Phil linger
ing as If to speak. Cruel, insulting, she
would not see! Leaning on James' arm,
chatting, all bloom and animation, she
brushed past "Polly," he half ex
claimed, then paused. Backs arc some
times as expressive as iaces. i-ony s
said, distinctly as back could, "Don't
speak to me." Phil looked after them a
moment, men suppressuiga iow wmsue,
he nluntred his hands into his pockets
and took tho opposite, direction. But
soon, relenting, ho was sorry to have
done so. "She didn't see me," lie said
to himself, "that was it AVell, I'll go
over this evening, at all events, and find
out what it means."
Oh what a miserable day it was! All
thclittic, carefully prcparcil-forpleasures
were as so manv coads and stings to
poor Polly. The turkey choked: the
children's merriment stunned her. And
there were all the relations to be seen to
Aunt iilmira and uncle Jacob, cousin
Jane with her family, and the new baby.
But forall her heartache, the little maid
was true to herself. Only Mrs. Pursall.
with motherly instinct, divined that
something was the matter. To the rest
Polly was her usual self, prettier than
usual, if anything, aud gayer with that
deep uusn on ucr cueeKs, anu tho saucy
tongue, which, uarueu wim inward
misery, had a smart auswer for all and

quality in her manner, as she stood
looking at the demollshmcnt which
would have struck an uninterested spec
tator as infinitely comic As the last
crumb vanished, however the last
twirl of the "P" a different mood as
serted itself. She put her head in child-
isu lasuton against the door, and with
the empty pic-plate in her hand, began
to cry a silent, miserable crvintr. with
a little dumb moan ruuning through it
iikc a cniui's.
It was just then that somebody pass
ing up the walk came upon her some
body who in his haste had coino "cross
corners" and leaped the gardea fence in
his way a tall, brown-haired fellow,
with merry, kind eyes, lu which won
derment shone as he took In tills aston

"Hallo!" he bcfir.n; "wh It's bless,
my soul, Polly Why, Polly, what is
the matter, dear?"
At the sound of the voice Pollv started
as If stung. She gave a little K-ream ;
then, recollecting herself, would have
dashed past him into tiie house, but a
strong hand held her back.
"What is the meaning of this?" said
Phil. "You here, and crying on Thanks

"Eh' ejaculated Phil, "and who sava
I am married?"
Polly, with dilatinir eves, perused his
face. She could not speak.
"I'm not married," went on Phil,
"whoever savs so : and I can't Imncinn

went on teasing Phil, availing himself,

was the reason she turned her back this
morning. Then Polly docs care for me

"A very little." respouded Pollv. with
a faint gleam of mischief from under
her wet lashes.

"Forgive me, Phil."
Phil did not prove obdurate. Before
long the faco came out of Its hiding
place, and leaning on his arm Polly
stood a happy moment to look at the
rising moon, and taste the consciousness
of bliss. Jowler stretched himself lux
uriously, yawned, then leaping up, his
paws on Polly's shoulder, he gave vent
to a lone, solitary bark of benediction,
perhaps, or maybe self-congratulation
that this consummation devoutly to be
wished did. not happen sooner, to the
detriment of his dinner. A moment.
then Phil drew Polly into the shelter of

door was shut
There Is another "youngMrs. Ralston"
now, whose pastry is said by tho good
housewives in the neighborhood to'at
all," and whose dainty ways aro very
like our Polly's ; but she always assures
her husband (whose name is Phil) that,
if she should live half a century, slip
shall never never make, or he ever
taste, a pie one half so perfect as that
which he forfeited by coming ten min
utes late one Thanksgiving evenincr.
And he nays but no'ina'tter what he
