[Tub following lines were suggested by reading the genu¬ 
ine and beautiful poem, “Long Ago,” in the Rural of 
August 8th. j 
A stream of small note is that “ river of Time,” 
Compared with the fathomless sea, 
"Which spreads from the mouth of the river sublime, 
As it stood iu the days of original prime. 
Ere the river was ordered to be. 
No “ winters are drifting” on that broad sea, 
Sweet summer eternally queen, 
The shadows of night never darken its lea, 
No scenes hut of rapture, and innocent glee 
On the transparent bosom have been. 
In this Ocean eo vast, is a heavenly Isle, 
And our dearest “ Immures' 1 are there, 
Hope points to that land with a heart-cheering smile, 
"With Faith, her twin-sister, can sorrow beguile, 
And cheer the wan face of Despair. 
And that Island is known as the Pilgrim's Home,— 
Immortal abode of the Host- — 
Howe’er on the river of Time we may roam, 
To that region, delightful, shall finally come, 
And batlip in the waters of Rest. 
No illusions deceptive, enchantments rare, 
As at Memory’s Isle “ Long Ago"— 
No “ vows" that are “ broken,” no “ tresses of hair,” 
But the luted and deported mill dwell with us there, 
When the river no longer shall flow! 
No magical “ Mirage" arises to view, 
As on the wild deserts of earth, 
For nothing is there but the Real and True, 
No joys that will vanish like moro’s transient dew, 
With the first fleeting moment of birth. 
Then let us loo\ forward to that better land, 
No glance up the bleak river cast, 
Assured of a Guide with Omnipotent wand, 
And to cheer our short passage a musical band, 
To Lethe consign the dark Past.

BAD SPELLING. 
BY SIRS. MARY J. HOLMES. 
The last notes of the bell which duly summon 
ed to their task, the pupils of Madame Duyant’s 
fashionable Seminary had ceased, and in the 
school-room, recently r>o silent, was heard the low 
ham of voices, interspersed occasionally with a 
suppressed titter from some girl more mischievous 
than her companions. Very complacently Madame 
Duvant looked over the group of young faces, 
mentally estimating the probuble gain she should 
receive from each, for this was the first day of the 
term, then with a few low spoken words to the 
row of care-worn, pale-faced teachers, she smooth¬ 
ed down the folds of her heavy grey satin and left 
the room, just as a handsome traveling carriage 
stopped before the door. 
The new arrival proved to be a fashionably 
dressed woman, who, with an air of extreme 
hauteur, swept into the parlor, followed by two 
young girls, one apparently sixteen and the other 
fourteen years of age. The younger, and as some 
would call her, the plain looking of the two, was 
unmistakably a “poor relation,” for her face bore 
the meek, patient look of a dependent, while the 
proud black eyes and scornfully curved lip of the 
other, marked her as the daughter of the lady, 
who, after glancing about the room and satisfying 
herself that the chairs, sofas tables, and so forth, 
were refined, gave her name as “ Mrs. Grkenlbaf, 
wife of the Hon. Mr. Gbeeni.eaf, of Herkimer 
Co., N. Y.” 
“ I have come,” said she, apparently speaking to 
Madame Divant, hut looking straight at the win¬ 
dow, “I’ve come to place my daughter Arabella 
under yonr charge, and if she is pleased with your 
discipline, she will finish her education here,— 
graduate, — though I care but little for that, ex¬ 
cept that it sounds well. Bhe is our only child and 
of conrse a thorough edncation in the lower Eng¬ 
lish branches is not at all necessary. I wish her 
to be highly accomplished in French, Italian, Ma- 
bic, Drawing, Painting, DaneiDg, and, perhaps, 
learn something of the old poets, bo hs to be able 
to talk about them a little, if necessary, but as for 
the other branches, such as Geography, History, 
Arithmetic, Grammar and the like, she can learn 
them by herself, and it Ib not my wish that 6he 
should waste her time over anything so common. 
These will do for Mildred/’ and she glanced to¬ 
wards the poor relation, whose eyes were bent upon 
the carpet. 
“ She is the child of my husband’s sister, and 
we have concluded to educate her for a teacher, so 
I wish you to be very thorough with her in all 
those stupid things which Arabella is not to 
study.” 
Madame Duvant bowed, and Mrs. Gkkbnleaf 
continued, “ Last term they were at Bloomington 
Seminary, and, if you’ll believe it, the Principal 
insisted upon putting Arabella into the spelling 
clast, jaat because she didn’t chance to spell every 
word of her first composition correctly! I dare 
say it was more Mildred’s fault than hers, for she 
acknowledged to me that ’twas one of Mildred’s 
old pieces that she found and copied.” 
An angry flash of Arabella’s large black eyes 
and a bright red spot on Mildred’s cheek were 
the only emotions manifested by the young girls, 
z and Mrs. Greenleaf proceeded,—"Of course I 
f wouldn’t submit to it,—my daughter spelling batter 
C and all that nonsense, so l took her away at once. 
£ It was my wish that Mildred Bhould remain, but 
C husband, who iB peculiar, wouldn’t hear of it, and 
5> 8^d she should go where Arabella did, so I’ve 
/ brought them both.” 
€ After little further conversation, it was arranged 
b that MIsb Arabella should go through a courte 
of merely fashionable accomplishments, Madame 
f Duvant assuring hermother ihatneither spelling- 
^ book nor dictionary should in any way annoy her. 
c Mildred, on the contrary, was to bo thoroughly 
| drilled in everything necessary for a teacher to 
know, Mrs. Geenlkaf hinting that the sooner her 
education was completed, the better she would be 
pleased, for it cost a great deal to clothe, feed and 
school her. Madame Duyant promised to exe¬ 
cute the wishes of her patron, who gathered up 
her flowing robes and with a dozen or more kisses 
for her daughter, and a nod of her head for Mil- 
drkd, stepped into her carriage and was driven 
rapidly away. 
if. * * * * * 
Jtr-t across the spacious grounds of the Duvant 
Seminary at d divided from them by a wall which 
it seemed almost impossible to scale, stood a hnge 
stone buildiDg, whose hacked walls, bare floorB 
and dingy windows—from which were frequently 
suspended a cap, a pair of trousers, or a boy’s leg 
— stamped it at once as "The College,” —the 
veiiest pest iu the world, Madame Di vant called 
it; when with all the vigilance both of herself and 
Argos eyed teachers, she failed to keep her young 
ladies from making the acquaintance of the stu¬ 
dents, who winked at them ia churoh, bowed to 
them in the streets, tied notes to stones and threw 
them over the ponderous wall, while the girls 
waved their handkerchiefs from their windows, 
and iu various other ways eluded the watchfulness 
of their teachers. A great acquisition to the fan- 
loving members of the seminary was Arabella 
Gbkknlkaf, and she had scarcely been there six 
weeks ere she was perfectly well acquainted with 
every student whom she considered at all worth 
knowing. But upon only one were her brightest 
glances and her most, winsome smiles lavished, 
and that was George Calyton, a yonng man 
from South Carolina, who was said to be very 
wealthy. Be was too honorable to join in the 
intrigues of his companions, and when at last he be¬ 
came attracted by the witching eyes and dashing 
manners of Arabella Gkeenlkaf, he went bold¬ 
ly to Madame Duvant and asked permission to 
see the young lady in the parlor. 
His request was granted, and during the two 
years while he remained at college he continued 
occasionally to call upon Arabella, who each 
time that he saw her Beemed more pleasing, for 
she teas beautiful, and when she chose to he so 
was very courteous and agreeable. One evening 
when George called as usual and asked to see her, 
he waited a long time and was about making up 
his mind to leave, when a lair, delicate looking 
girl, with deep blue eyes and auburn hair, entered 
the room, introducing herself hr Miss Graham, 
the cousin of Arabella, who, she said, ri indis¬ 
posed and nnable to come down. 
“ She bade me say that she was very sorry not 
to see yon,” added Mtldred, for she it was, blush¬ 
ing deeply as she met the eager, admiring eye of 
George Clayton. 
Gladly wonld he have detained her, but with a 
polite good evening, she left him in a perfect state 
of bewilderment. “Strange that I never observ¬ 
ed her before, lor I must have seen her often,” he 
thought, ns he slowly wended his way back to his 
rooms, "and stranger Btill that Arabella never 
told me she had a cousin here.” 
The next time he met Arabella his first in¬ 
quiry was for her cousin and why she had never 
mentioned her. With a heightened color Ara- 
aella answered, “Oh, she’s a little body, who 
tr-ver cares to be known,—a perfect book-worm, 
arid m.an liater.” 
The words book-worm and man-hater produced 
upon George Clayton a far different efihetfrom 
what Arabella had intended, and he often found 
himself thinking of the soft blue eyes of Mildred 
Graham. Unlike some men there was nothing ter¬ 
rible to him in a bookish woman, and he might, 
perhaps, have sought another interview with Mil- 
deed, but for a circumstance which threw her en¬ 
tirely in the shade. 
The annual Examination of Madame Duvant's 
Seminary was draw.ng near. Arabella was io 
graduate, while both she and Mildred were com¬ 
petitors for a prize ofiered for the best composi¬ 
tion. There was a look of wonder on Mildred's 
face, when she saw her consin’u name among the 
list, for composition was something in which 
Arabella did not excel. Greatly then did Mil¬ 
dred marvel when day after day Bhe found her,, 
pencil in hand, and apparently lost in thought, as 
she filled one sheet after another until at last it 
was done. 
“Now, Milly,” said Arabella, "you correct 
the spelling and copy it for me, — that’s a good 
girl.” 
Mildred had acted in this capacity too often to 
refuse, and with a martyr’s patience, she corrected 
and copied the manuscript, wondering the while 
from whence came the sudden inspiration which 
had so brightened Arabella’s ideaB. But if she 
had any suspicions oi the truth she kept them to 
herself, handing her own composition in with that 
of her cousin, and calmly waiting the result. 
sf * * * * * * 
The examination was over. Arabella, who 
knew exactly what questions would be put to her, 
had acquitted herself with great credit, and her 
proud l8dy mother, who was one of the numerous 
visitors, fanned herself complacently as she heard 
on all sides the praises of her daughter. 
And now nothing remained but the evening 
exhibition, at which music and the prize composi¬ 
tions formed the chief entertainment. Atan early 
hour the large Bcbool-rooniB were densely crowded. 
Among the first who came was George Clayton 
—securing a seat, as near as possible to the stage, 
so that he ebould not lose a single word. He him¬ 
self had graduated but two weekB previously and 
was now about to make the tour of Europe togeth¬ 
er with bis father, who was present. They were 
to sail the next night, and at 9 o’clock this evening 
they were to leave for New York. During the 
examination Arabella had risen greatly in 
Georob’s estimation, and if she had seemed beau¬ 
tiful to him then, she was tenfold more so now, 
when, with flowing curls and simple white rnualin 
dress, she tripped gracefully across the st ige, and 
seating berBelf at the piano, played and sang with 
exquisite skill the well known eoDg entitled, “ No 
More, Never More.” 
Then followed the reading of the compositions, 
Mildred being called upon first. In a clear and 
peculiarly sweet tone of voice she read, chaining 
to perfect silence her audience, which, when she 
was done, greeted her with noisy oh earn, whisper¬ 
ing one to another that she was anre to win. Ara¬ 
bella, at her own request, was the last.. With 
proud, flashing eyes sad queenly air, .ihe coolly 
surveyed the mass of heads before her, caught an 
admiring glance from George Clayton, and then, 
with a steady hand, uurolled her manuscript, and 
read. Her subject was “The Outward and the In¬ 
ward Life,” and no grey-haired sage ever handled 
it more skillfully than she. When she finished one 
universal burst of applause shook the buildiDg to 
its centre, while her name was on every lip i>3 she 
triumphantly left the room. Just then a distant 
bell struck the hour of nine, and George Clay¬ 
ton arose to go. He was sure of Arabella’s 
success, and iD the hall below, whither Bhe had 
gone to bid him adieu, he shook her band warmly, 
telling her how happy it made him to see her thus 
victorious, and winning from her a promise to 
write to him when he should he over the sea. 
Half an hour later and the night express was 
bearing him far away. Half an hour later, and 
with flushed brow Arabella stood upaud received 
the prize, which consisted of two elegantly bound 
volumes of Wordsworth and Coleridge. 
Forty minutes later, and from the seat by the 
door, a little bent, weird-looking woman arose,and 
making her way through the crowd, advanced un. 
til 6he stood upon the stage, then stretching her 
long, bony finger towards Arabella, who bad 
returned, she said, “ I am a lover of justice, and 
should I hold my peace, the very stones would cry 
out against me. Yonder young lady has no right, 
to the prize, for the piece which she has palmed 
off as her own, appeared in the Woodland Gazette, 
a paper published in an obscure New Hampshire 
village. How she came by it, she can, perhaps, 
explain, but I cannot.” 
At the commencement of this Btrange speech, 
Arabella arose as if to defy the woman, who was 
thus blastiDg her good name, but at the mention 
of the Woodland Gazette she fainted and was car¬ 
ried from the room. Madame Duvant now came 
forward and addressed a tew low-Bpoken words to 
the woman, who answered aloud, “l have the best 
of reasons for what I have said. My son, who lives 
iu New Hampshire, occasionally sends me the 
Gazette, and in one number, which came nearly a 
year ago, appeared this very article, taken origi 
nally from an old English paper.” 
“ Prove it! Produce the paper!” fiercely ejacu¬ 
lated Mrs. Grkknleaf, as she left the room in 
quest ot her daughter. 
“I can do so,” answered the woman; “I never 
tore up a newspaper in my life, and if the audience 
will wait for the space of ten minutes, I can show 
them the very aiticle,”—saying which she glided 
noiselessly from the room. 
She was a strange, half-crazy old creature, of 
wonderful memory, who occupied a small cottage 
in the suburbs of the village, aDd many doubts 
were expressed as to the veraoity of her state¬ 
ment. But these were soon put to flight by her re- 
appearauoe. Unfolding the dingy yellow paper, 
she read aloud to her astonished hearers the 
article, which proved to have been taken from 
the London Examiner. There was now no longer 
a shadow of doubt, and the prize was withdrawn 
from the treacherous Af.aeki.la, and as Mildred’s 
composition was pronounced the next in order, it 
was bestowed upon her. 
Mortified, indignant, and almost frantic at this 
public disgrace, Arabella finally confessed to 
having stolen the piece from a paper sunt her some 
months before by a former schoolmate. The next 
morning she left the village, heaping her pent-up 
wrath upon the head of her innocent cousin, who 
was destined in more ways than one to rival her, 
if. if * * * * * 
Three months had passed away since the night 
of the exhibition, ami in a private parlor at a Lon¬ 
don Hotel sat George Clayton, rather impatient¬ 
ly awaiting the return of his servant from the Post 
Office. As yet he had received no letter from 
Arabella, for though she had written it had fail¬ 
ed to reach him, and white he in the Old World was 
marvelling at her long delay, she in the New was 
wondering why he did not answer. The mortifi¬ 
cation which she bad endured a fleeted her deeply, 
bringing on at last a slow fever, which confined 
her to her bed, where for weeks she lay, carefully 
attended by Mildred, who once, when Bhe com¬ 
plained of George’s neglect, suggested the possi¬ 
bility of his not having received the letter. This 
was a new idea to Arabella, and as she was her¬ 
self nnable t,o write, she persuaded Mildred to do 
it for her, and strange to say the two letters reach¬ 
ed their destination at the same time. 
With eager haste George took them from his 
servant, who soon went out, leaving him alone.— 
The hand-writing of both was not alike, and in 
some trepidation the young man broke tbe seal 
of the one bearing the more recent date. It was 
beautifully written, and mentally complimenting 
the fair writer, George opened the other, uttering 
an exclamation of surprise ere he had read a 
duzen lines. It was a Biddy, sentimental affair, 
taken partly from an old letter-writer, and con¬ 
taining many “high-flown” sentences concerning 
the “ pearling rill," the “ silverey star lit e" and the 
‘ rosy morn,” which, being spelled as they were, 
presented a mo3t formidable aspect to the fas¬ 
tidious youug man. 
Although Arabella had taken much pains with 
her letter, at least one-fourth of the words were 
misspelt, and by the time George bad finished 
reading, he entertained no other feeling towards 
the writer than one of disgust, to think that with 
all her showy accomplishments ahe had neglected 
what to him was the most important of all, for in 
nothing is the igaorance of a yonng lady more ap¬ 
parent than in a badly spelled letter. It was a 
long time ere he answered it, and then the few lines 
which he wrote were so cold, so different from his 
first, that in a fit of anger Arabella tossed It into 
the fire, repenting the act the moment alter, and, 
as if to make amends, writing in return a long let¬ 
ter, to which there came no response, and thus the 
correspondence ended. 
Eighteen months later, and again Madame Du- 
tant’s rooms were crowded to overflowing, but 
this time Arabella Gbeknleap was not there, 
though George Clayton was eagerly watching 
each word and movement of Mildred Graham, 
whose uncle had insisted upon her remaining at 
school until she, too, should graduate, aud who 
now justly received the highest honors of her 
class. Very beautifully looked the young girl, and 
sb she modestly received the compliments of her 
friendp, George Clayton’s was not the only ad¬ 
miring eye which rested upon her, for many now 
paid lmr homage. 
That night George asked to see her alone. His 
request was granted, and when next she parted 
from him it was as his betrothed. Immediately 
after George's retnrn from Europe he had heard 
tbe story of Arabella’s perfidy, and if no other 
circumstances had interposed to wean him from 
her entirely, this alone wonld have done it, for he j 
could not respect a woman who would thus mean¬ 
ly stoop to deception. He had lingered in G- , 
for the purpose of renewing his former aeqaain- 1 
tauce with Mildred, the result of which we have , 
seen. ! 
Mortified beyond measure, Arabella heard of j 
her cousin's engagement, and when George came i 
at last to claim his bride, she refused to see him, 
wilfully absenting herself from home that she 
should not witness the bridal, which took place 
one bright October morning, when the forest 
trees, as if in honor of the occasion, were dressed 
in their most gorgeous robes, and the birds were 
singing their farewell songs. 
New misfortunes, however, awaited poor Ara- 
bell, for scarcely was Mildred gone to her south¬ 
ern home when the red flag of the auctioneer 
waved from the wiudows of Mr. Grbenleaf's 
luxurious house, which, with its costly furniture, 
was sold to the highest bidder, and the family 
were left dependent upon their own exertions for 
support. When the first shock waa over, Mr. 
t^pEENLEAF proposed that his daughter should 
teach, and thus bring into use her boasted accom¬ 
plishments. For a time Arabella refnsed, but 
hearing at last of a situation which she thought 
might please her, she applied for it by letter. But 
alas, tbq mistake she made when sh. abandoned 
the spelling-hook for the piano, again stood in the 
way, for no one would employ a teacher so la¬ 
mentably ignorant of orthography. Nor is it at all 
probable she will ever rise higher thanher present 
position, that of a plain sewer, until she goes back 
to first principles, and commences again the de¬ 
spised column, beginning with 11 bakerl"
