Tall forest trees, "with shining foliage, green hedges and lawn, and a large pond covered with rastio bridges and fantastic ornaments. A young girl sat in a half reclining po sition npon the grass, watching the gold riah as they appeared from time to time npon the surface of the water. She was not pretty, but there was something very piquant and pleasing in the expression of her face, which was unusually serious for one so young. The day was warm and sultry, and - 6he was sinking into a quiet slumber, when a little deg sprung toward her, barking shrilly. "Why, you horrid little thing!" she exclaimed. "I wonder if your master is as homely as yoti are." "You can judge for yourself, miss," said a voice close beside her; an J, spring ing to her feet, she was confronted by a tall, good natured looking young man, who, although not very handsome, was by no means unusually homely, either. "Well, what do you tnink?" he asked, as she stood staring at him iu ntter amaze ment. "I think that you are very bold to in trude in this way," she said, at last, mak ing a very palpable effort to be dignified. "Intrude? Now that is pretty cool, considering that I am on my own ground." "Are you Mr. Gresham?" "I had no doubt of it until -this mo ment. Are you 3Xiss Stanley?" "Oh, my! no what an idea! Iam only Miss Stanley's cousin. I will go and tell her that you have returned." "No, don't! I have seen my aunt.and that is enough. Sit down again, if yon please." "But we have-not been introduced!" "Yes, we have; we have introduced ourselves, and that is a great deal pleas- i t. nr Gresham, let me present you to Miss n "No, no; Miss Stanley wonld say: 'Mr. Gresham, this is my little cousin;' " and she drew herself .up in a stately manner, and spoke very slowly and pre cisely. He laughed and said: 'But you have not told me your name yet?", "Amy Gladden, at your pleasure." "That is a ery pretty name for a young lady." "But I am not a young lady. "Not a young lady?" he repeated, with a look of surprise and disappointment in his face. Y'ou are not married, I "Oh, dear, no but I am only a little girl." "A little girl?" "Yes. How can I be anything else when I have three unmarried sisters older than myself?" she asked, in an ag grieved tone, which made him laugh heartily. "True enough,"-he said at last; but how is it that your sisters are still un married? They cannot be as pretty as yon are." "Pretty as I am, Mr. Gresham? I am the fright of the family." "Indeed! Then if you aro the fright, I should like to see the beauties. They must be paragons." "Oh, Miriam is lovely! She has the brightest golden hair!" "I prefer brown," he eaid, glancing at the head before him, crowned with bands of shining chestnut-colored hair. "And the loveliest blue eyes!" "I prefer brown," he said again, look ing straight into the soft, liquid eyes of his companion. "And she is so tall and elegant!" "I likfr little women best." "Pshaw!" she cried, impatiently, "you are just trying to flatter me. You know that I am as homely as " "My dog?" and then he laughed again. - "How y iu do laugh. What makes you laugh so much?" "Because I am young, I suppose. And I wish you would laugh also," he said, growing serious all at onoe. "It pains me to see yoxi look so grave." "If you were a poor minister's daugh ter, with five sisters, I think you would Innlr prava ton. "Rnt T ilet lunch' ftnm A times, just when I ought not to. If there is anything absurd, that should be passed or unnoticed, I am sure to see it and laugh." "You havea keen sense of the ridicu lous." 'I suppose so, and ic is really dread ful. I think it is a great misfortune." "If you were a writer.yon would prob ably find it a great advantage." "But I am not a writer, thank for tune." "Why thank fortune?" "Because my sister Julia writes, and ohe is always tormenting me to listen to her articles 'outpourings of genius, she calls them and I wish her genius would cease outpouring." "Don't you like to read?" "Oh, yes, indeed! but I don't like to listen when other people read; I get so impatient." "I am sorry." "Why?" . "Because I imagined myself spending many a pleasant hour by your side, read ing aloud to you, while you embroitU ered, knit or sketched." "But I never embroider, knit or sketch." "You do not?' "No; my uister Emma embroiders and Mary sketches. Tbere is not a cow in our neighborhood that has not posed for her. And Emma made six big, histori cal pictures in worsted. Oh, it is fearful to think of." ' ' Hasn't she lost flesh?" "Oh, no she gains it and that is her e63 In life. But you can te&d ia Mia Stanley." r "Hang Miss Stanley." "That is not polite. Have you ever seen her?" "No, and I do not want to. I asked aunt not to have any young ladies here. Oh! I beg pardon. But then you are a little girl." "Yes, I am just seventeen." "Well, I think we can manage to have some gav times together in spite of Miss Stanley." "You will not look at me after you have seen her." "Why? Is she gorgeous?" "Awfully, fearfully! She is nearly six feet tall; and when she wears her crimson velvet dress, you think of Cleo patra and Lucretia Borgia." "That is not a flattering comparison." "Oh, I mean in pppearance merely; because MiBS Stanley is as good as she is handsome. She is so admirable in every way that it makes me feel tired. I like people to be wicked once in a while don't you?" "Yes, it makes more variety, of course." "You will admire her beyond words to express. Everybody does. When she comes into a room it seems as if she fills every portion of it. I never see any on else." . "She never would prevent me from seeing you." "Yon have not been tried yet." "I prefer violets to sunflowers." "Oh, don't compare her to a great sunflower. They are ugly, even if they are aesthetic. Call her a dahlia." "I detest daalias." "Well, wait and tee;" and, turnipg suddenly away, she ran like a deer over the lawn." Walter Gresham had just returned from a long European tour. He was twenty-four years old; and, his parents being dead he was now monarch of all he surveyed that is, in his immediate neighborhood. An aunt had occupied his elegant home during his absence, and he had given her permission to livejgayly as she pleased; only requesting her nob to have any fashionable young ladies there when he returned. But Mrs. Simcox was an inveterate match-maker; and she imagined that Miss Emma Stanley was the one woman to make him happy. . Certainly, if regal magnificence could make a man happy, Walter Gresham Bhould have been per fectly satisfied. It seems as if that im posing word had been especially coined for her. She was magnificent in beauty, toilettes and self-conceit the last par ticularly. There was something abso lutely sublime in Emma Stanley's ego tism. It never deserted her. Nothing could modify it. The rude and ill-bred m;ght amuse themselves in the most un blushing manner at her expense, and 6he, in her snpurb unconsciousness, would never know it. The fear of rivals did not and conld not distsrb her, and the idea of little Amy Gladden ever ap pearing in that character was too absurd to be entertained for a momeut. When Mrs. Simcox suggested the propriety 'of her marrying Walter Gresham, she as sented graciously. She was twenty five years old, and felt that it would be as well to establish herself now for life. Walter was a little younger; but then he was agreeable, cultivated and rich. His estate was old if he were not. Of course he would have no objections. That was a contingency of which she never dreamed. And when Walter was introduced he was so "completely stun ned," as he told Amy afterward, that Miss Stanley was convinced that she had made a great impression upon him. "But jour description was not quite correct," he said to his cousin. '"She did not fill all space; I saw jou iu spite of her; and really, Miss Amy, it wu3 a great relief "Why? the latter asKea. "Because you made me think of calm, pure moonlight, after the heat and glit ter of a hot summer day." "You certaicly think her very hand some?" "Wonderful ! Stupendous ! Terri ble !" "How you do talk. Just wait a while, and you will be as eager as all the others are to carry her shawl, and fan, and bou quet. I know how it will be." "Are they all so eager?" "Yes, of course, Didn't you know it? They are all crazy about her. She is re ceiving offers all the time. I think it was twenty she bad last year." "Oh, now, Miss Amy, isn't that a lit tle just a little, you know " "It is the solemn truth. She is as rich as she is wise and handsnme, and money you know adds such a lustre to beauty." "You call yourself a little girl; but that did not sound at all like a little girl." "Well, hard experience has taught me a great deal; and I do not blame people for liking money." "It must be very uncomfortable to be without it." "It is perfectly awful! I had rather be rich than anything else in this world !" "Do not say that." "It is the truth." "Would you marry a man you did not like, just because he could give you money?" "I do not know I have never been tried." "Yon would not do it, I know. Money does not always bring happiness." "It brings an immense amount of comfort any wav. Mrs. Simcox is calling us." A humbler person than Miss Stanley would hardly have been satisfied with Walter Gvesham's manner towards her. He was evidently impressed; but wheth er the impression was favorable or not was somewhat uncertain. She attrib uted his reserve to diffidence, and rather admired it as something desirable in a young man. And when he sought Amy's side -and talked with her so unreservedly (as it appealed) she thought he did it out of pure kindness, and appreciated him all the more. Fortunately she did not hear their remark in regard to her self; and when she saw them together so often afterward, sbe still ascribed it to his genuine good nature, and felt no un easiness whatever. Mrs. Simcox, however, did not feel so well satisfied, and concluded to speak to ; Mias Stanley in regard to the growing intimacy between the young people. "Emma," she said, "Walter and Amy! are together a great deal of the time." "Oh, yes." she replied calmly, "it is very kind in him to amuse the child as he does. He must be very' fond of little girls." "He seems to be fond of this little girl, at any rate. I would send her home if I were in your place." I "Why should I send her home? Do you dislike the child? Does Bbe annoy you?" Ji "Certainly not. I like her very much." ; "I have always been fond of Amy.! She is so quiet and inoffensive. She seems very happy hera, and her own home is so crowded. I pity the child."; i was uei thinking of taytdlf at all, tor I nice to have her here. Hue la a good girl, obliging and pleasant; .but she seems a little too attractive. Walter is evidently much pleased with her." ! "She doubtless amuBes him. She is truly unsophisticated, and really quite original in her ideas. S "And are you not afraid' "Afraid? What Bhould I be afraid of?" ! "Well, perhaps I am unnecessarily alarmed ; but I had quite set my heart on seeing you the mistress hereEmma." j "I have seen no reason as yet to hange my mind in regard to that ar rangemont. Walter is rather young.but he is manly and dignihed. i "Yes, Amy thinks so." I "She has very good judgment, al though her experience is, of course.lim ited." ! And Mrs. Simcox left her in despair. Soon after this Walter was" taken sick with slow fever, and almost immedi ately afterward Amy received a message from home, desiring her speedy return. She was obliged to go, without bidding the sick man good bye, and she carried away a very sad heart in oonsequence. i Miss Stanley was a epiendi 1 nurse, and she devoted herself unremittingly to the patient; but he longed for a sight of Amy's piquant face and girlish figure. He was very much in love; and his per fect consciousness of the fact prevented his making any inquiries regarding her. At length, however, he could contain himself no longer; and one day, wheD Miss Stanley's splendidly-developed fig ure was turned away from hirp.he asked: "Where is Miss Gladden? Is she well?" "Oh, yes; but she had to go home. They sent for her. But I want to thank you for all the notice you took of the little girl. It was very kind in vou to do it." "You give me more credit for unself ishness than I deserve. Miss Amy is a delierhtful companion." "Yes, her naivete is very amusing. She has lived in the country all her life, poor child, and knows very little of the ways of the world." "Perhaps that is what makes her so charming." "She has a great deal to learn, and I hope to have her with me again before long. She cannot have any proper ad vantages where she is, and her mind and manners both need cultivation." He said no more then ; but he grew very impatient to be up and about again, and as soon as he was able to leave the house he announced his intention of go ing away for a few days, though whither they could not find out. Amy Gladden was seated one morning in a little rustic arbor near her father's house, looking even more serious than usual, when she heard a familiar voice pronounce her name in eager, questioning tones. Raiding her head quickly, she saw Walter Gresham stand ing before her, looking very pale and thin, but with a glad, happy light in his eyes. "Oh, Walter!" she exclaimed, invol untarily, springing from her seat. "Are you glad to see me. Amy?" he asked, watching, with a happy smile, the bright blushes come and' go in her cheek. "Yes," she said; "but you look so tired and pale. Sit down at once;" and she made him take a seat. "Are you quite well?" "Oh, yes! And you are you happy?" "I am just now," she answered, frankly blushing again as she saw the beaming look come into his face. "You blessed little darling!" he cried, throwing his ams around her waist. "Oh, but. you musn't do that," she said; although she certainly looked more pleased than angry. "Yes, I shall for I love you my darling, and I am going to" and here Amy's face was completely covered fcr several seconds. "Ob, Amy," he said, suddenly, "you do not think money is the most desirable thing in the world now, do you? Is not love a great deal better?" "Do you want me to tell yon that T am sorry you are rich, Walter? I can net do that. I love you dearly, dearly, with my whole heart; but I am just as glad as I can be that you are not a poor man." "What a frank little thing you are. Amy. And of course you are right; I know I should not be contented without money; and it makes me very happy to think that I can surround you with lux uries." "I have always longed for nice things, but I never dreamed that I should have them. Oh, Walter, I am so glad that it is you who will give them to me." "I would like to see any other man dare to do it." "How strange that you should prefer me to Miss Stanley." "St ange? It seems the moat natural thing in the world to me. Amy. I told you I liked little women the best." "There is a good deal of Emma." "She makes me think of the Sphinx." "Now, Walter, dear, you must not laugh at her, because she is good and kind to me." "I know it, Amy; and she has been very devoted to me too. Bat your fath er, my darling, he will not object to this arrangement, will he?" "He will be greatly relieved to have one daughter disposed of." Here Walter burst into a hearty laugh, in which she soon joined, although she could not see anything funny in what she bail said. Her father at once gave his consent, and they were soon very happy. He remained a week, and upon his re turn, going straight to his aunt, with a face fairly radiant with happiness, he said: "Congratulate me, aunt!" "Congratulate you? what for? Has Em " "Amy has promised to be my wife." "What is that? Amy? Are you crazy?" "Crazy? No, I am as sane as you are." "Did you say that you intended to marry that child?" "That child will be eighteen in De cember, and we shall be married ou her birthday." "But Em, Miss Stanley?" Mrs. Sim cox inquired in a dazed, bewildered way, "what will she say?" Then Walter looked somewhat bewil dered also that is for a few mcnieut3. But he began to laugh immediately after ward, and said: "I do not know what Miss Stanley has to do with it. She is not my mother, or guardian, or maiden aunt, or " "But I think she expected " "Expected what?" "She has been so attentive." "Well, I certainly am very much obliged to her for her attentions!" "Think how she nursed you." "Yes. she was awfully kind." 1 think some explanation "Aunt Ellen, what do you mean?" "It is Buch a delicate matter." "Hang the delicacy! Do you mean that she expected I would want to marry her?" "Well, yes, 1 think indeed I am quite sure that she did." "I am very sorry, then, that I cannot ebUgo her, fcu t vll mo wi tuc lzA till her of my engagement." v "No, indeed, it will be better for me to do it," and she started at once to f nl fill the dreadful duty. - She found Miss Stanley looking very imposing and elegant in a scarlet satin wrapper. After talking a while upon in different subjects, Mrs. Simcox said: . "Do you know what Walter went away for?" "He went upon some business, I sup pose." "He went to see Amy." "Did he? Just like his kind hrt." "It was not kindness at all; it was love." "I do not understand you." "He is engaged to Amy, and they are to be married in December." For the first time in her life, perhaps, Miss - Stanley looked surprised. More than that, she looked astounded. But soon recovering her usual admirable composure, she said: "I hope ho will be happy with the child. She is very young and inexper ienced; but Bhe is a good little girl. It is an excellent thing for the family, as they are very needy." "Well, I must say that I feel greatly disappointed." "You need not be. Amy is very quick to learn, and, with only a few hints, she will fulfill her duties here very grace fully;'' and Miss Stanley resumed her embroidery; with a gracious smile, as if everything had transpired according to her fondest wishes. As Mrs. Simcox went back to her room she thought to herself : "It is juet as well. So superior a per son would not be likely to suit Walter." Miss Stanley's manner toward that young gentleman was the very perfection of stately grace and urbanity; and when the marriage took place, Amy received no handsomer present than the costly diamonds bestowed by her benignantly smiling cousin. After they had been married a year or two, Walter came into his wife's room on day, and said: "Amy, I have some news for you. "Ob, tell me, quick!" ' she exclaimed; "what is it?" "Miss Stanley is engaged to an Eng lish nobleman." "Oh, that is splendid! What a sensa tion she will make." "I hear that he ia a very fine man." "He ought to be. I hope that he is handsome, and good, and intelligent for certainly no common man should ever marry our magnificent Miss Stan ley." Conjugal Companionship. Another discouragement that Dr. Dix might have prescribed for divorce is per sistent, unselfiah intention, on the part of married couples, to be companiona ble. Companionship is the basis of all lasting unions of male and female, even among the animals. It is quite true that most married couples were originally mismated, but no fact is better known or recognized, outside of family circles, than that extreme differences of intellect, taste, acquirement, disposition and na ture aro no bar to the delightful and en during friendship, unless in one person or the other there are positive vices or selfishness that prevent the formation of any true and honorable bond with any being whatever. Even heathen philoso phers have urged man and woman to perpetuate and perfect their union by mutual and persistent devotion toward each other. But Dr. Dix has indirectly discouraged this in nearly all of his lec tures. His injunction that wives shall be obedient to their husbands, his repro bation, or at least suspicion, of modern women's desire to be well informed on subjects of whioh their hasbands talk; his criticism of women who are not con tent to be housekeepers and nurses and nothing more, are all calculated to make women the inferiors of their husbands. and, consequently to a great degree un companionable. The lecturer might justly have given his male parishioners, respectable ana otherwise, some nam raps, for the custom of many of them ia to devote the better part of the day to husmess, most of the remainder to their male acquaintances, and only their stupid hours to their families. And. if marriage is the holy institu tion that preachers proclaim it to be, why did not Dr. Dix blame the clergy of all the churches for not making its duties and blessings the subject of frequent ser mons and instructions? Sermons on re generation, adoption, canctihcation, to tal depravity, redemption, backsliding, malice, envy and uncharitableness abound, but what .veteran church-goer has heard during all his life a dozen ser mons on marriage? Commodore Phelps' Removal. Probably nothing has happened here for years that people have discussed more fully, without reaching satisfactory conclusions, than the removal of Com modore Phelps from the command of the Navy Yard and his orders to the South Atlantic station, in the nrst place, com modore Phelps was not in command of the yard the usual time by some ten months; in the second place be desired to remain here, moved heaven and earth" after his fashion to that end; and yet all his influence, and he was accred- ited with not a littie.ana ponderous peti tions bearing five hundred uames.availed him not. The presumption that the Navy Department had no other available officer to order in command of the South Atlantic squadron, seems to have been effectually exploded, and "there certainly was some other motive that lies at the bottom of the commodore's strange re moval. It is said that young, designing and powerful fellow-officers put the screws to the commodore in the hope that he would ask to be retired and thus cause their advoncement in grade. It is talked at tea parties that Miss Dora Mil ler, daughter of one of the United States Senators from California, was piqued at treatment she received at the hands of the commodore's family while visiting at the Navy Yaid last fall, and that her father has resented it. It is the talk furthermore that politics effected the re moval and tho accompanying unpleasant order. It is paid, in the same connec tion, that the commodore permitted him to be too much of a tool in tho hands of politicians, and has thus brought upon himself the visitation 'of that wrath that men more powerful and hard to reach than he, have tailed to escape. Vallejo Times. . " An English Premier's Wife. Mrs. Gladstone, writes a London cor respondent, who is one of the best and kindest women in the world, has the un happy knack of dressing abominably. On ordinary occasions she is clad in a rusty black silk, well worn, and with a draggled look about tho petticoat, which barely conceals a pair of shapeless boots. Her gloves match the boots, and she has been heard to exult in a well mended pair for the reason that the money which would have bought new ones was better J applied to the suooor of the poor and needy. The following verses will appear in the forthcoming biography of William Cullen Bryant, written by bis son-in-law Mr. Park Godwin, and published by D Annleton ic Uo. They were written in 1814, when Mr. Bryant was rn his twen tieth year, and appear, to have been tul dressed to some young woman who had not lived up to his belief in her. They were found among the poet's papers, an have never before been published. There are a number of them given in the bio crraphy. not for their value as poems but as shadowing forth a littie romantic story: I knew thee fair I deemed thee free From fraud, and guile and faitbUss art, Yt t had I seen as now I see. Thine image ne'er had stained my heart ; Tnut not too far thy besnty's charm; Thougn fair the hand that wove my chain, I win not stoop with fettered arms. To do the homage I dif dain.
