orderly rooms, and could now slep over a pile of ridiculously wall [V^U\ 0 oul^,^l readily^ 
clothes, pin together a rent, or hunt an horn for knowledge, 
his Sunday pants without his equanimity being 
greatly disturbed. 
All this, however, hod its effect npon him. It 
weaned him from his home, and though he was too 
well principled to frequent the bar-room or drink¬ 
ing saloon, his evenings were usually spent in his 
mother’s cheerful parlor, while his meals were 
often taken in her oomfortable dining-room. At 
first Ada bad mourned deeply over this state ol 
affairs, but babit is everything, and so accustomed

self, was all in disorder and crowded with some of 
Ada’s things, and when, to crown all, there turned 
up what more than all else men detest, viz,, *• but-

he never spoke to her an angry word, he often re¬ 
monstrated with her upon her growing negligence, 
while, with tears in her c-yes she would invariably 
reply, "I mean to do better,” aod there the mat¬ 
ter ended. 
Fortunately for Walter his father’s house was 
not far away, and after a time, finding it impossi¬ 
ble to obtain from Ada the little acts of attention 
which it should have been her pleasure to render 
him, he went to his mother, who wisely refrained 
from saying what Bhe thought, though many a time 
as she bent over some formidable rent which a 
stitch in time would have prevented, she sighed, 
“Poor boy, I knew ’twould be so when he married 
I her.”

THE MAGICAL ISLE IN THE RIVER OF TIME. 
BY MARY E. BATCHBI.ER. 
'Pherr's a magical isle in the river of time, 
Where softest ot echoes are straying, 
And the air in as sweet ns a musical chime— 
Or the exquisite breath of a tropical clime, 
When June with Its rotten ia straying. 
>Tia there memory dwells with her pale golden hue, 
And music forever is flowing ; 
While the low-murmured tones that come trembling 
through, 
Sadly trouble the heart—and yet sweeten it too- 
As eouth winds o'er waters when blowing. 
There are shadowy halls in this fairy-like isle , 
Where pictures of beauty are gleaming : 
Yet the light of their eyes and their sweet sunny smile 
Only flash round the heart with a ’wilderlug wile, 
And leave us to know 'tie but dreaming. 
And the name ot the Lie is the Beautiful Past, 
And we bury our treasures all there ; 
there are beings of beauty, too lovely to last, 
There axe bosoms ot snow, with dust o'er them cast, 
There are tresses and ringlets of hair. 
There are fragments of song only memory sings, 
And the words of a dear mother's prayer ; 
There’s a harp long unswept, and a lute without strings; 
There are flowers all withered, and letters, and rings, 
Hallowed tokens that love used to wear. 
E’en the dead, the bright beautiful dead, there arise, 
With the soft-flowing ringlets of gold; 
Though their voices are hushed, and o’er their sweet eyes 
The unbroken signet of silence now lies, 
They are with us again as of old. 
In the stillness of night bands are beckoning ns there, 
And with joy that ia almost a pain, 
We delight to turn back, and in wnnderiDg there— 
Through the shadowy halls of the island so fair— 
We behold our lost treasures again. 
Oh 1 this beautiful isle, with its phantom-like show, 
Is a vista unfaidingly bright; 
And the river of time in its turbulent flow. 
Is oft soothed by the voices we beard long ago, 
When the years were a dream of delight. 
bail slie become to his absence that she now sel¬ 
dom expected him until she saw him. The vil¬ 
lagers said her health was failing, advising a change 
of air, and Walter, acting upon their suggestion, 
had carried her to a watering place, where he left 
her for three months, shutting up his own house 
and boarding with his mother. " It wsb better so,” 
he said, little dreaming how each night his young 
wife watered her lonely pillow with tears as she 
thought of him and the love he had once freely 
given her. 
Soon after her return a letter wa6 received from 
Aunt Jane, who immediately after the marriage 
of her neice, had gone West to live with a Bister. 
This sister had recently died and Aunt, Jane was 
now coming back to stay with Ada, if she was 
~ Thus matters progressed until spring came, when 
Ada was suddenly seized with a desire for house¬ 
keeping. “’Twas less expensive,'■ she said, “aud 
Walter’s face was growing so long. She knew 
it was all because their board bills were so heavy.” 
’Twas in vain that Mrs. Graham, senior, who, fore¬ 
saw the com fortless home her son would have, tried 
to dissuade her from it, for a time at least, sug¬ 
gesting that during the summer she should live 
with her and acquire a knowledge of what she 
ought to know. Ada would not listen. “Suppose 
she was ignorant; she could learn by experience 
and she meant to do her best.” 
So a neat little cottage suited to Walter's 
means was hired, and during the few weeks which 
were spent in fitting it np, he seemed perfectly 
happy. The old love-light came hack to his eyes, 
which often rested fondly npon the gay, young 
creature who flew from one thing to another, lite¬ 
rally doing nothing, though all the while she

reason as he wonia, ne couni not, exuucinic nine 
self from all blame, nor believe that he had dealt 
exactly right with the young girl who had en¬ 
trusted her happiness to his keeping. But he did 
not say so then, for it was so long since anything 
of the kind had passed between them that he felt 
constrained and embarrassed, but most sincerely 
did he hope that Aunt Janb’s presence among 
tnem would effect a change. Excitement, at the 
thoughts of her coming threw Ada into a low, 
nervous fever, and when her 8unt arrived, she 
found her sick in bed. With a low, faint cry the 
poor girl threw her arms around her neck, and 
laying her aching bead upon her bosom, burstinto 
tears, saying—“I am bo glad, for I am very un¬ 
happy. Walter does not love me now, bat you 
will learn it all in time.” 
At a glance Aunt Jane saw bow matters stood, 
and while she did not absolve Walter from all 
blame, she believed bis wife to be most in fault.—

nothing less than “the giadual enlargement of
