BY MRS. K. J. NAMES. 
Peaceful September ! Eldest daughter thou 
Of meek-eyed Autumn, welcome here again, 
With the pure beauty of thy tranquil brow— 
With the sweet music of thy pensive train ! 
The softened glory of thy leaves and flowers, 
Fruit trees and vines wreathed in Pomona’s bowers :— 
The golden-green light gleaming through the tree s, 
The tender radiance of thy clear blue skies, 
Stirred by the pinions of the odorous breeze !— 
“ Month of niv heart 1” Like day spring to mine eyes 
Thy gentle presence comes! Time hath bereft 
My path of much—and the cold world estrang’d 
Many from me :—thanks that thy gifts are left 
To endure unto the end, undimd, unehange’d!

THE TWO STUDENTS. 
BY SYLVANUS COBB, JR. 
In one of our large suburban towns lived a 
man named John Atkins, lie was one of 
those men who had made their way to wealth, 
affluence and honor, by strict integrity and at¬ 
tention to business. Every penny of his great 
wealth had been honestly earned, and he richly 
merited all the love and respect that were be¬ 
stowed upon him. Mr. Atkins was now a 
widower, and his household was managed by 
his daughter, a fair, blooming girl of eighteen 
summers. Her name was Laura, and her beau¬ 
ty and wealth made her the object of a vast 
number of ardent admirers. 
Attached to Mr. Atkin’s establishment was 
a young man named Jared Walker. He was 
about eighteen years of age, and was the son 
of a man who had once been in the merchant’s 
employ. When his father died he was left 
poor and friendless, and Mr. Atkins hired him 
to take charge of the garden and stable. He 
had now been with his present patron a little 
more than two years, and during that time had 
proved himself not only capable of all things 
which he undertook, but also most scrupulous¬ 
ly faithful and trustworthy. 
Not far from the dwelling of Mr. Atkins 
stood a college—one of the most flourishing 
and noted in the Union. Mr. Atkins himself 
had never had the advantage of a college edu¬ 
cation, but he had yet picked up a vast deal of 
information, more of real practical information, 
than a man could gain in a lifetime within the 
walls of a college; but the old man was a 
friend to the institution, and he was the best 
friend to that youth who made the best use of 
his time. 
One summer’s evening, while Mr. Atkins and 
his child were sitting in one of the drawing¬ 
rooms, a visitor was announced. He was a 
young man, and both the merchant and his 
daughter received him kindly. His name was 
Albert Laudown, and he was the child of 
wealthy parents. Young Landown, though 
only about nineteen, was considered the favored 
suitor for Laura’s hand, and from his manner 
it was evident that he had the same opinion 
himself. If he possessed any peculiar traits of 
character they were rather of the negative 
kind, though perhaps his love of self, and pride 
in wealth may have been of rather a positive 
character. 
“ Laura,” said the young man, after the usu¬ 
al civilities of the meeting had been passed, 
“ who is that young fellow that works around 
your garden here ?” 
“0, that is Jared Walker. He lives with 
us now. Don’t you remember his father—old 
Timothy Walker—that used to live in the lit¬ 
tle black house back of the college?” 
. “ Seems to me I did remember such a name; 
but I never knew him.” 
“ He used to work for father, but he died a 
few years ago, and Jared came to live with us.” 
“ Ah — is it possible ?” uttered the youth 
with a condescending air. “ Yes it is just like 
your father, always kind. But this master 
Jared needs some better manners.” 
“Better manners!” iterated Laura, looking 
up with surprise. “ Why, I thought Jared was 
one of the most scrupulous of young men in his 
manners!” 
“ Perhaps he is—ah, I don’t doubt it. But 
he actually bowed to me in the street this 
morning—bowed to me when I was in com¬ 
pany with a couple of friends from the South. 
Be ally, I felt as though I should sink through 
the sidewalk. Hadn’t .you better speak with 
him, and tell him not to recognize me in the 
street again?” 
“You must excuse me, Mr. Landown, for I 
couldn’t do such errands, even for you. I only 
wish the rest of the young men in our town 
needed no more cultivation of manners than 
does Jared Walker.” 
This seemed to operate as a sort of damper 
upon the rising spirits of the young exclusive, 
and it was some time before he could rally, but 
at length he managed to regain his wonted 
speech, and for a while he rattled away at a 
mass of “ small talk,” to which his listener only 
answered by occasional monosyllables. 
“ Albert,” at length spoke M r. A tkins, laying 
side the paper which he had been reading, and 
moving his chair nearer to where the young' 
couple sat, “ when do you enter college?” 
“Next week,” answered the youth with a 
flush of pride. 
“And I hope you mean to improve your 
time to the best advantage.” 
“0, certainly,” was Albert’s reply; but it 
was spoken in that off hand manner which in¬ 
dicates no great depth of purpose. 
“You have great advautages,” resumed the 
old man, “and it behooves you to make the 
best use of them in your power. I know of 
many a poor boy who would give half the lib¬ 
erty of his lifetime if he could but have the op¬ 
portunity for an education that you have.’” 
“ Yes—I suppose so,” said Albert; and then 
he added, with a slight laugh, “ and I suppose 
they would like some of my money, too.” 
“Perhaps they might, but those who are 
wise would not take the money with ignorance; 
they would rather have the education, for that 
is by far the nobler portion.” 
The old man gave his young friend consider¬ 
able good advice, but Albert seemed to pay 
but little heed, and at length the task was 
given up. 
“ He is youug and inexperienced,” said Mr. 
Atkins to himself, after the youth had gone, 
“ and 1 suppose don’t like too much advice. I 
know how it is with these fortunate young 
men; they want age to sharpen their under¬ 
standings.” 
The old man had just taken his seat again 
to read a little more in his paper before he re¬ 
tired, when some one rapped upon his door. 
“ Come in,” said he. 
It was J ared Walker who entered the apart¬ 
ment. His face was all tremulous with emo¬ 
tion, and he seemed to be laboring under some 
great anxiety. 
“ What is the matter, Jared? What’s the 
matter?” kindly asked the old man, sis he no¬ 
ticed the youth’s perturbation. “ Sit down, sit 
down, and out with it.” 
Jared took a seat, and after a few moments 
of anxious silence, he said: 
“ I want you to do just as you think best, 
Mr. Atkins. You have been very kind to me, 
and God knows that I would not be ungrateful. 
But I have got a chance to go to another place 
—a chance to—to—” 
“ Say on, say on, Jared,” said Atkins, show¬ 
ing by his tone and manner that he was disap¬ 
pointed. “ If you have found a better place 
than this, of course I would not keep you. If 
you can find a better friend than I am, you may 
go to him.” 
“0, it is not that, Mr. Atkins,” quickly cried 
the youth. “ God knows I shall never find a 
nobler friend than you have been. But I have 
got a future to live—I have got a manhood to 
prepare for, and I may never find another op¬ 
portunity like the present. But I didn’t seek 
the place, sir—they came of their own accord 
and offered it to me.” 
“ But what is it, Jared?” 
“ Why sir, the professors in the college want 
me to take care of their rooms, and in return 
they offer to instruct me in all the branches 
taught in the college. I can have half of every¬ 
day and nearly the whole of the evening for 
study. Yet, sir, I will not go if you had raiher 
have me stay with you. Y ou have been very- 
kind to me, and I would not for the world— 
not even for the education 1 covet—leave you 
if you wished me to stay.” 
For some moments the old man was silent. 
There was a rich moisture in his eyes, and his 
nether lip trembled. 
“ Jared,” he at length said, “ I think I have 
been kind to you; but that is no reason why I 
should now be unkind. You could not have 
done a thing to give me more real joy than this. 
I knew not that you had such a desire for 
learning, or I would have helped you myself.” 
“And have you not helped me?” cried Jared 
with enthusiasm. “I have had your books, 
and I have heard your encomiums upon edu¬ 
cated men. 1 owe it all to you, sir.”'’ 
“ Well, well, perhaps you do. But I will let 
you go to the college and try the plan you 
have formed, on one condition.” 
“What is it?” asked the youth. 
“That you will consider my house your 
home ; that you will spend your Sabbaths 
here, and also such of the holidays as you have 
to spare. You will have no other home, and 
this will come handy for you.” 
It was hard work for J ared to speak, but he 
managed to promise what his patron had ask¬ 
ed, and then he bowed his head and wept He 
had not expected such kindness; in his orphan¬ 
ed heart he had laid down the rules of life, 
but he had not looked for such sympathy and 
assistance in his hour of need. Each one of 
those tears that fell from the young man’s 
drooping lids, was a volume of thanks to Mr. 
Atkins, and he knew it. He saw at once how 
noble was the heart he had touched, and he 
felt happier far than as though he had found 
a mine of gold. 
On the first of the next week, Jared Walker 
took his new situation in the rooms of the col¬ 
lege, and on the same day Albert Landown 
was entered as a freshman. One was poor, the 
other rich. One came there to study for the 
future, and the other came because it was 
fashionable. One came with the determination 
to be a man, and the other came that he might 
appear a man. 
At first some of the students were inclined 
to be uncivil -towards the poor youth, for they 
found that he enjoyed all the opportunities for 
advancement that they did, but his uniform 
gentleness and unobtrusiveness, and his quiet 
upright conduct soon won most of them to his 
friendship. But there was one in the college 
who still affected to scorn him. 
Early one morning, as Jared was going 
across the college yard with a bucket of water 
in his hand, he met Albert Landown. To be 
sure, Jared was dressed in a working garb, and 
from the very nature of the work he had been 
doing, he was somewhat dusty; but still he 
thought it no harm to speak, and with a bright 
smile, he bade the other “ good morning.” 
“ Stop you a moment,” uttered young Lan¬ 
down, turning red in the face. Jared stopped, 
and set down his bucket 
“ Now look ye,” continued Landown, “ this 
makes the third or fourth time you have spok¬ 
en to me since I entered college, and I want 
no more of it I thought my silence might 
have given you the hint, but it seems you are 
too dull to take a hint Now don’t you dare 
to recognize me again, for I don’t choose to 
be on terms of intimacy with every fioor- 
sweeper that happens to know me by name.” 
Jared did not dare trust himself to make a 
reply, for he was touched to the quick, and he 
knew if he gave liberty to his tongue he might 
say too much, so he picked up his pail and j 
started on his way. Perhaps it was well for 
Jared that this affair happened, for from that 
moment he was resolved that Albert Landown 
should not be the best scholar. 
Time passed on, and Jared won more and 
more upon the respect and love of the profes¬ 
sors, and they showed their love by rendering 
him every assistance in their power. Every 
Sunday he passed beneath the roof of Mr. 
Atkins, and that kind old man was highly 
gratified to find how rapid was the advance 
which the youth made. But yet he knew not 
all towards which Jared’s mind was grasping. 
Sometimes Jared sat and conversed with 
Laura, and he was surprised to find how deep 
and clear was her understanding. 
“ Have you studied French, yet?” she asked 
one day, one Sabbath afternoon, as they sat 
together. 
“ Not yet,” returned Jared, “ but I am going 
to study it.” 
“That’s right,” continued the fair girl, “for 
I am going to study it, and it will be so pleas¬ 
ant to have some one to converse with.” 
“ Will not Mr. Landown study the language?” 
Jared asked. 
“ Perhaps so — he says he shall,” replied 
Laura. “ But he does not seem to make much' 
of his studies.” 
The two had been conversing together for 
some time, but the introduction of Landown’s 
name seemed to strike a chill to the moods of 
both, and shortly after, they separated. But 
it was not their last conversation, for they 
conversed often, and with mutual profit, too. 
Sometimes Mr. Atkins sat by and heard them, 
and he never failed on such occasions to show 
by his manner that he enjoyed it much. Yet 
Mr. Albert Landown was regular in his visits, 
and once ho had asked Mr. Atkins for Laura’s 
hand, but the old man bade him wait until he 
had graduated from college before he thought 
of such a matter. 
Years are not. long in passing away, and the 
college term at length expired. Four years 
had gone by since Jared Walker first became 
a servant in the college, and he had now come 
forth with a well-earned diploma. Even the 
Professors were astonished at the amount of 
learning he had managed to amass to himself, 
and w’hcn he received his degree of Master of 
Arts, those who bestowed it knew that it was 
given to one well qualified to claim it. 
Mr. Atkins was not a great party politician, 
but he was nevertheless a warm adherent to 
his political party, and one, moreover, who 
wielded a vast deal of influence. The Presi¬ 
dential chair of the nation had just been filled 
by a new incumbent, and new appointments 
were being made. Mr. Atkins was selected to 
fill the important post of a foreign minister. 
It was more than he had expected—more than 
he would have dared to hope for—but it was 
no more than he deserved, and his superior 
knowledge well fitted him for the place. 
“ Well, Albert,” said Mr. Atkius, as the 
young man vnss at his house one evening, 
“how stands your education now?” 
“ 0—about right,” returned the young man, 
with a light laugh. “I got through, but ’tw'as 
a tedious job. I thank heaven we go through 
college but once in a lifetime.” 
“You studied French,” I think,” the old 
man continued, not seeming to have relished 
the previous answer much. 
“Yes—I studied it—’twas fashionable, you 
know', and I had to study it.” 
“I suppose you speak the language, then?” 
“Well, as fo^- that, I don’t know. I can 
read a few sentences, but what’s the use?” 
“ Anything that is worth doing, is worth ! 
doing well,” said the old man, somewhat se¬ 
verely. “ Did you study Spanish or German?” 
“1 dipped into the Spanish some, but got 
sick of it.’ 
“Well, I am disappointed.” 
“Eh!” uttered Landown, starting up. 
“ I say I am disappointed. Y ou are prob¬ 
ably aware that I have received an appoint¬ 
ment, and I had some thoughts of making you 
my secretary, but that is impossible now. I 
had thought that a residence of a few years in 
Europe, upon a good salary, would please you.” 
“So it would—so it would,” uttered the 
young man, turning first pale and then crim¬ 
son. “ Can I not go with you?” 
“Not now, Albert,” returned Mr. Atkins. 
“ You are not qualified for the place. You 
have had every opportunity to prepare your¬ 
self, but you see you have neglected it. I am i 
sorry, but I caunot help it.” 
“Will Laura accompany you?” faintly asked 
the youth, after some moments nervous silence. 
“ Of course she will go with me.” 
“ But perhaps 1 could prepare myself before 
you go.” 
“No—that would be impossible. I shall 
start next week.” 
Sad and dejected did Albert Landown turn 
his steps away from the dwelling of Mr. At- 1 
kins, that evening. But for his disappointment 
he had no one to blame but himself. The 
best hours of youthful life he had literally 
thrown away, and it was now too late to find 
them again. 
“Weil, my child,” said Mr. Atkins, coming ; 
into the house one day, “I am ready to start, 
and next Monday I shall be off.” 
He spoke in a very happy and satisfied 
mood. 
“Have you engaged a Secretary?” asked 
Laura. 
“Yes—an excellent one.” 
“ Do I know him?” 
“O, yes.” 
“ And who is he?” 
“Jared Walker.” 
“Jared—” 
“ J ared Walker, I said. How do you like 
the idea of his going with us?” 
But Laura did not answer. She only hung 
down her head and trembled, while her father 
could see that she was blushing too. 
“ He will make the best companion I could 
have found. He speaks French, German and 
Spanish with fluency. I hope you will be sat¬ 
isfied. I should have taken Albert Landown, 
but he was not qualified in the least. Are 
you sorry for the change?” 
“No, no, indeed I am not,” murmured the 
fair girl, biding her face in her father’s bosom. 
And so Jared Walker accompanied Mr. At¬ 
kins to Europe, where they remained four 
years, and when they returned, the minister 
had given up the control of his fair child to 
his young secretary. Laura had become Mrs. 
Walker, and a happier biide it would have 
been hard to find.
