THE WITHERED DAISIES. 
BY NANCY A. W. PEIEST. 
“Because she loved them.” 
You ask me why I love them so, 
These little simple flowers, 
That over every pasture blow, 
In April’s sunny showers; 
And why a daisy wreath I twine. 
Instead of dewy roses, 
To hang about the holy shrine 
"Where our lost child reposes. 
5 Twas in the spring-time that she came, 
And ail the forest mazes 
"Were bright with flowers without a nama, 
The fields were white with daisies. 
You know how beautiful she grew. 
How fair, and sweet, and holy. 
But the violet, wet with morning dew. 
Is not more pure and lowly. 
Bhe flitted like a sunbeam bright 
Around our cottage door ; 
Her footsteps, as a fairy’s light, 
Made music on the floor. 
On every flower of wood or glade 
She lavished childish praises, 
She loved all things the Lord had made, 
But most she loved the Daisies. 
How many thoughts beyond her years. 
That then were all unheeded, 
"We think of now, with blinding tears— 
Sweet teachings that we needed. 
Three happy years we led her feet 
Along life’s thorny mazes ; 
The fourth, we laid her down to sleep 
Beneath the April Daisies. 
’Tis well, and we are reconciled, 
For lie who gave the blossom, 
"Who lent to us our angel child, 
Recalled her to His bosom ; 
And waiting till He calls for me, 
To sing with her Ilis praises, 
I keep her blessed memory 
Embalmed in April Daisies.

THE TWIN COTTAGES: 
STORY OF KTTR-A.3L. J^IIFXB. 
BY PAUL CtU-.YrOX. 
Chapter III. — The Feud. 
[Continued from Page 156, last Number.] 
Lionel arose betimes, on the following morning, 
lighted the kitchen fire and went out to feed the 
teams long before the dawn, while Martha, con¬ 
trary to her custom, busied herself in preparing 
breakfast. This strong-minded couple, in talking 
over the quarrel of the previous evening, behind 
their bed-curtains, had arrived at the fixed conclu¬ 
sion, that, Richard and Maria having acted foolishly, 
they should be the first to make advances towards 
a reconciliation. 
“ It will be best to go about our business, and 
say nothing to them, until they have done pout¬ 
ing,” said the stern Lionel. 
“I think so too,” sa'd Martha. 
On the other hand, Richard had said to his wife, 
“Lionel has not been like a brother in this, nor 
Martha like a sister. Their conduct has been too 
overbearing. They have insulted us, and I think 
it is their duty to ask our pardon.” 
“ To be sure it is!” exclaimed Maria. 
So there bad been four hearts full of bitterness 
and anger beneath the peaceful roof of the old Fel¬ 
ton house that night. 
When Maria arose and found that Martha was 
preparing breakfast, she was more angry than ever. 
“She does it to provoke me!” she exclaimed to 
Richard. “ This is insult upon insult!” 
At the breakfast table, a sullen silence was main¬ 
tained by Richard and bis wife, while Lionel and 
Martha kept up a light and careless conversation 
between themselves, in order to show a proper 
contempt for the resentment of their companions. 
This affected indifference rankled in the sensitive 
heart of Richard, and having made a light and 
hasty breakfast, he went to the barn and drove his 
team into the woods without saying a word to his 
brother. 
Lionel followed soon after; and the brothers 
helped each other roll the logs upon their sleds, as 
usual, but it was without a kind word, or a kindly 
feeling. Each waited for the other to speak; and 
bad Richard or Lionel uttered a single word of 
kindness, it would undoubtedly have been respond¬ 
ed to with an outburst of brotherly love, and 
would have resulted in a perfect reconciliation; 
but as it was, they worked together thus all day, 
making themselves and each other as miserable as 
possible. 
The following day being Saturday, Lionel rode 
into the city to make some purchases, and to con¬ 
clude a contract for the disposal of a quantity of 
wood, which the brother had long been anxious to 
6end off, while the sleighing lasted. 
Now Lionel, imperious and unyielding as he 
sometimes was, had naturally a kind and generous 
heart; and when he thought how wretched the 
family quarrel had made them all, during the past 
eight-and-forty hours, and remembered how happy 
they had been living together in peace and good 
fellowship, he resolved to forgive Richard’s unrea¬ 
sonable spite, and make the first efforts towards 
the restoration of mutual confidence and love. 
Accordingly, while he was in the city, he pur¬ 
chased a box of figs, to be divided equally between 
Richard’s children and his own; a silver comb for 
Maria, precisely similar to one he bought for Mar¬ 
tha, and a handsome gold pencil, which he intended 
as a gift for Richard. 
With these laudable resolutions and generous 
presents, Lionel returned home at night, joj’fully 
anticipating the blessing which should follow a j 
visible action. But, most unfortunately, Martha 
and Maria had been quarreling all day, and even 
the children had beguu to imbibe the poison cf ill- 
will, and show their spite towards each other.

The latter was about to comply, when she heard 
Maria, in the other room, cry out, 
one of regret.—of which he might, take advantage, 
even at the last moment. But, Lionel looked 
sternly on to see if Richard would sigu without 
tin appeal to him for a ..brother's reconciliation. 
Pride restrained the better feelings of both, and,
