curls were made in another’s image. What won- i

Lucy had not seen or heard from NoRMAN i 
Thorde since she returned from Europe, except \ 
that Mr. Poulard assnred her of his prosperity 1 
in business and the good opinion of the coniWJn- c 
uity. She knew not whether the seed which she t 
had endeavored to sow had fallen on good ground 
and had borne fruit, but she felt that this little 1 
child came to her as an assurance that her labor ] 
of love had not been in vain. Its very name f 
seemed to indicate a degree of unity in tlie pair i 
who had stood in such different relations toward s 
herself. It was very pleasant to see how tlieBe ; 
two were growing so near to each other. Every i 
year Viola’s grandpa earnc to take her home for , 
the holidays, and though petted and loaded with 
presents, she was always delighted to get back to 1 
“dear Aunt Lucy,” to whom she never failed to 
bring some choice token of her love. 
And now our friend Lucy bus passed the age of i 
thirty—the dreaded landing-place whereon those i 
who reach it are wont to pause—and, looking 
hack with regretful eyes, to exclaim, 
*‘0 Youth ! and art thou mine no more ?” i 
I say Lucy had passed that point, hut you would 
scarcely believe it She herself did not stop to 
make the above reflection; she was too busy, be¬ 
side, she felt young, and while there was so much 
to do In the world and so few to do it well, and 
she had health and vigor, Bhe did not think of 
telling her age by years. Then, too, Lucy pos¬ 
sessed that wonderful charm—the ti ne Song Rml 
— of having kept her heart fresh. She had pre¬ 
served her affections pure, devoted, and unchang¬ 
ing.

Normal* Thorpe sat alone in his handsome 
apartments in a pleasant hoarding house in New 
York. Around him were the appliances of com¬ 
fort, even wealth—much to charm the eye and 
occupy the mind—yet he to whom they belonged 
was ill at ease. Slowly he paced the floor, now 
and then pausing to look out into the November 
twilight, thickened by gathering snow-flakes. The 
flickering flrelight played upon the pictures upon 
the walls, heighteningtheir colors to life-like vivid¬ 
ness. Conspicuous in the ruddy light stood out 
the portraits of ft lady and a child, and before 
these the solitary inmate frequently stopped and 
sighed. Weary at last of bis monotonous march, 
he threw himself into an easy chair and carelessly 
took up a magazine. Turning the leaves—his eyes 
fell upon a little poem. A name attracted his 
attention, and with an eager 6tart he held the 
page to the firelight and read — 
THE GRAVE OF LOVE. 
BY LUCY HASTINGS 
Stars of midnight, glist’ning nightly 
In tbs dorns above, 
Beam ye brightly, ever brightly, 
On the grave of Love. 
Bird of morning, upward soaring 
From the dewy grove, 
Sing, your sweetest notes outpouring 
O’er the grave of Love. 
Flow’rs of spring-time, early blooming 
Win»Te bright waters rove, 
Shed yonr sweets, the air perfuming 
Round the grave of Love. 
Murm’rlng streamlet, hear thou tidings 
How a heart did prove 
Faithless to the one confiding 
In its vows of Love. 
Roll, bright waters, on forever, 
With soft shades inwove; 
But sweet hope returneth never 
To the grave of Lnve. 
As he finished reading, he bowed his face upon 
his hands and held communion with his thoughts. 
Back to the rustic seat by the old bridge—back to 
the day when last two hearts had heat in it side 
by side—Memory flew, and all the days thereafter 
passed in review one by one. He hud suffered, 
he had changed, fearfully, too, he felt; hut 
through all, the face of her he loved had shone 
upon him as the face of an angel of peace. Out 
of error he had at last won wisdom,—out of suf¬ 
fering, strength. He no longer looked back upon 
his lost love as a child who seeks by force to 
reclaim a valued toy which he haB given away’, 
and too late regrets his inconsiderate prodigal¬ 
ity. He. had long since accepted his fate like a 
mau, and in so accepting it, had known a degree of 
happiness such as he had not expected ever again 
to see. He had learned to love his wife, with 
a love horn of his own humility and her gentle 
forbearance, ne had been callous, indeed, not to 
melt before her meek submission, her affectionate 
forgiveness, lie came to regard her as his supe¬ 
rior in all lovable traits and virtues, aud to remem¬ 
ber the love which he bad slighted in his youth, as 
something far above his deserts, forever heyonu 
his reach, only to be cherished for its holy influ¬ 
ences. If he hud no other reward, he was blessed 
in the knowledge that the last years of Viola’s 
life were warmed and brightened by his tender¬ 
ness. 
*1tc*#***.* 
Again the Christmas holidays drew near, and 
little Viola was expecting Captain Hughes every 
hour. Her trunks were packed, and with the 
impatience of childhood, she ran about the house 
looking frequently from the windows, wondering 
when he would Come. Lucy was busy', making a 
few final preparation?, when her protege flew* into 
the room exclaiming, 
“0, Aunt Lucy! come this minute! It isn’t 
grandpa, hut. my own papa!” 
“Yes, dear. Yon go down and I will come 
presently.” 
It was a trying ordeal. They had not met face 
to face since she had thought him all her own. 
Bat she looked from the window and saw the car¬ 
riage waiting to take her pet away, and thought— 
i “ He will not Etry long.” 
, Then she looked in the glass'to re-arrange her 
hair, which never seemed to need it, and thought, 
“ how foolish to be in such a flutter. What should 
, he care about an old maid like me?” 
THE ALPINE SHEEP. 
After our child's untroubled breath 
Up to the Father took it» wav, 
And on our home the shade of death, 
Like a long twilight, sadd'ning lay, 
And friends came round with us to weep 
Her little spirit’s swift remove, 
This story or tb® Alpine cheep 
Was told to us by one we love: 
“ They, In the valley’s sheltering rare, 
Soon crop the meadow’s tender prime; 
And when the sod grows brown and hare, 
The shepherd strives to make them climb 
« To airy Shelves of pastures green, 
That hang along the mountain side, 
Where grass and flowers together lean, 
And down through mist the sunbeams slide, 
« But naught can tempt the timid things 
That steep and rugged path to try, 
Though sweet the shepherd calls and sings, 
Aud seared below the pastures He,— 
“ TUI in his arms their lambs lie takes, 
Along the dir.r.y verge to go; 
Then, heedless of the lifts and breaks, 
They follow on o'er nicks and snow. 
« And In those pastures high and fair, 
More dewy soft than lowland mend, 
The shepherd drops his tender core, 
And sheep and lambs together feed.” 
This parable, by nature breathed, 
Blew on me as the south wind free 
O’er frozen brooks, that, flock, unsheathed 
From icy thraldom, to the sea, 
A blissful vision through the night 
Would all my happy senses sway, 
Of the good Shepherd on the height, 
Or climbing up the stony way, 
Holding our litttle lamb asleep; 
And like the burden of the sea 
Sounded that voice along the deep. 
Saying, “ Arise, and follow me.”

Lucy could not remark, and there was much 
which she would gladly have known of the 
seqnel, which she could only surmise from the 
tone and manner in which he alluded to the past 
Very delicately he thanked her for her kindness 
to the dead; very delicately he mentioned Viola’s 
attachment to her, nud wishes concerning her 
education of their child. 
Then followed a pause, when each felt the hour 
of parting momentarily drawing nearer, while 
much remained that each desired to say. While 
they conversed, Viola hud stood at Lucy’s side 
with one arm affectionately thrown around her 
neck. It was growing late, and her father otobc 
to go. For a moment he stood silently regarding 
the group before bim, reluctant to speak the 
words which should separate them. Lro* had 
never looked more lovely in his eyes than at 
that moment. The freshness of youth seemed to 
fall around her like a vail, and through it he saw 
her as If the vanished years had never been. 
“Good bye! dear, sweet Aunt Lucy! I shall 
come back,” said the childish voice. 
“God bless yon! my little lamb!” and Lucy 
bowed her head in benediction upon the little 
shoulder pressed so tightly against her own. 
What came over the heart of that strong man? 
Smitten as by a power beyond resistance, he knelt 
as to a higher presence, and from beneath the 
face, hewed so suddenly upon her knee, Lucy 
heard, in husky tones, 
“ 0, bless me too!” 
What would you have done? Would you have 
remembered errors and administered justice? 
Or would you not rather, woman and angel-like, 
have remembered love and mercy? With one 
white hand upon the bead of him she had always 
loved, Lucy answered reverently— 
“God bless and keep you, all your life, my 
friend!” 
There must have been magic in that gentle 
touch; for seizing her hand with fervent earnest¬ 
ness, he said:—"And muHt that life be lived for¬ 
ever apart from you. O, Lucy ! are we always to 
be strangers this side of the grave? If so, how 
can my life be blessed?” 
Whatever she said, wrb spoken very low; for 
even Viola did not bear it. I suppose that her 
father did, though; for when he went away a few 
momenta after, he clasped Lucy in his arms and 
kissed her more than once, as he whispered, 
“Parted now, but soon to part no more from my 
guardian angelP’

DR. Lardner observes that the quantity of light ad¬

vision, is in exact proportion to the sine of the pupi). 
Now, it is known that the intensity of light decreases as 
the square of the distance increases, and allovviug the 
diameter of the pupil of the human eye to be one-fifth

was daily increasing. Though not exactly famous, 
at twenty-five our friend Lucy found herself well 
able to resign her office of governess ami live by 
her pen. But Bhe had always loved children, 
they were necessary to her as motives for action, 
as incentives to cheerfulness. J u less than a year 
after her return to America, she was presiding 
over a pleasant establishment in the outskirts of 
a Western city. She had made for herself a home, 
what she had long wished for: a home not only 
in a house of her own, hut in the hearts of the 
dozen happy children who, with an assistant, 
comprised her little household school. She had 
ample time for recreation and literary pursuits, 
and her school waB gaining rapidly in popularity. 
Thus, loving aud beloved, the years flew over her 
head so lightly as not to leave a wrinkle on her 
kindly face, and she could scarcely realize the 
lapse of lour years, us one beautiful summer day 
she sat reading this letter: 
Williamsburg. N. Y. 
Miss Hastings — Madam: Through the medium 
of several influential friends of yours in this 
vicinity, I have the pleasure to hear of the pros¬ 
perity of yonr school. You may perhaps remem¬ 
ber that a few yens tuio, while traveling with 
Dr. Ruysdale a id bu wife, yuu met at Baden my 
wife, Mrs. Hughes, and our daughter, Mis. 
Thorpe, From her acquaintance with you at 
that time, our daughter was greatly prepossessed 
toward yon,and this feeling increased to a stiong 
friendship in time, so that she always spoke of 
you in the highest terms. You will realize the 
depth of her regard, when 1 tell you that at the 
time of her death, which look place nearly three 
years since, it was her urgent request that her 
child, then scarcely a year old, might be placed 
in your care should she live to reach the age of 
five years. That time is rapidly approaching, and 
I am happy to say that our little gruad-daugbter 
is, to all appearance, a healthy, intelligent child. 
We are greatly attached to her, as she has 
remained with us since her mother's death: hut 
acquiescing in her mother’* wishes, we surrender 
her to your charge, with all confidence in yonr 
ability to fulfil the trust satisfactorily. Will" you 
be so good as to inform me, without delay, at what 
time it will be convenient to receive her? I will 
accompany her and make all necessary arrange¬ 
ments. Respectfully yours, 
Capt, Archibald Hughes. 
So, in due time, there came among the elves 
that haunted Lucy’s pmmomal, a little sprite who 
timidly answered to the tame oI'Y’iola Hastings

and the love for all musical sounds, brought con¬

THE QUAKER AND THE BULLY. 
2Utfcrtiscmcnt0 
A genuine bully called upon a “Friend” 
avowedly to thrash him. “Friend,” remonstrated 
the Quaker, knocking aside his visitor’s fist, “be¬ 
fore thou proeeedest to chastize me, wilt thou not 
take some dinner?” The bully was a glutton, and 
at once consented, washing down the solids with 
libations ot strong ale. He rose up then to fulfill 
his original errand. “Friend,” said the Quaker, 
“wilt thou not first take some punch?” and he 
supplied abundance of punch. The bally now 
staggering, attempted to thrash his entertainer; 
but quoth the Quaker, “wilt thou not take a 
pipe?” This hospitable oiler was accepted, and 
the bully, utterly weak, staggered across the 
room to chastize the Quaker. The latter, open¬ 
ing the door and pulling him toward it, thus
