did not think he could ever be more to her than be 
had been. She hoped to retain his friendship and 
was truly sorry to give him pain. 
So Elmer, like a prudent suitor, had held his peace 
on that subject,— for a while. She was but eighteen 
thou. It could not be expected that she should know 
her own mind. She had seen but little of the world 
and other men. In a year she was going abroad. He 
would wait, and try to deserve her by redoubled 
kindness and upright conduct. All in good time, 
never fear! 
He had then been a member of their family for 
Borne time. Every thing went on as before, and in a 
little while the unpleasant embarrassment of living 
in constant contact with one wbom she had thus hu¬ 
miliated, wore away from Diana's mind, and a touch 
of pity mingling with her high estimation of his good 
qualities, made her even kinder to him than usual. 
Her father had urged him to accompany them on 
their European tour, but he declined, pleading busi¬ 
ness as an excuse. Perhaps he hoped that separa¬ 
tion might weaken the impression which she had 
made dpon him. and fortify his mind for what might, 
after all. prove a real disappointment, 
-die did not know, til! afterwards, how precious her 
letters had been to him. To her, they were but hasty 
travel-notes, and she sent them to him with no more 
emotion than if he bad been any other friend. She 
knew she was improved in every respect by that long 
delightful journey, and had she been as vain as some 
girls, she could in this have found sufficient cause 
for Elmeivs renewed admiration. A round of visits, 
given and received, succeeded her return, and for 
many weeks she could think and talk of little but the 
wonders and delights of her recent experience. 
Their stay had been too short for her; she would 
willingly have taken up her abode in “Merrie 
England’’or “Sunny Italy,” and often in jest with 
“You do not mean to say that if Mr. Due seldorf 
were to offer you his hand, heart, and a fortune, 
which I know is not inconsiderable, that you would 
decline them?” 
“I should, most emphatically. Hut tell me. Miss 
Penetrate, on what you found your newly discovered 
romance?” 
“ O, various things, too numerous to mention. 
I’ll try and enumerate. He comes here very often,—” 
“ To see ray father.” 
“ Don’t interrupt. He comes here so frequently 
that one might think he boarded inthehonse, and—” 
“ He did, Once.” 
“Fudge! He goes to church with yon nearly 
every Sunday.” 
“ilo owns the pew we sit in. Who has a better 
right to occupy it?” 
“ He does not own the occupant v. Hut I shall not 
attempt to tell you any more if yon do not keep still.

it Indeed you have! No one can know yon as I do, 
and not he sensible of that.” 
“Since my mother’s death I have not only been 
the lady of my lather’s house, but his almost constant 
companion. From my infancy it has been his plea¬ 
sure to have me near him, and to cultivate and direct 
my tastes, which are much like his own. People say

Its gentle breezes fan eur checks

Its gentle voices >< hisper love,

Sweet helping hands are stirred, 
And palpitates the vail between

Th" -ilence, awful, sweet, and calm. 
They have no power to break; 
For mortal words are not for them 
To utter or partake. 
So thin, so soft, so sweet, they glide 
So near to press they seem— 
They seem to lull us to our rest, 
And melt into our dream. 
And in the hush of rest they bring 
Tis easy now to see 
How lovely and how sweet to pass 
The hour of death may be. 
To close the eye, and close the ear, 
Wrapped in a trance of bliss, 
And gently drawn in loving arms, 
To swoon to that—from this: 
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep, 
Scarce asking where we are, 
To feel all evil Rink away, 
All sorrow and all care. 
Sweet souls around us! watch us still, 
Press nearer to our side, 
Into our thoughts, into our prayers, 
With gentle helpings glide. 
Let death between us be as naught, 
A dried and vanished stream;

lands' of the Old World, realizing all that my young 
imagination had taught me to expect and long for. 
I have stood on the field of Waterloo, and heard from 
the lips of a veteran warrior how my childhood’s hero, 
Napoleon, was shorn of his laurels. I have seen and 
conversed with Wellington himself. I need not 
tell yon, for you know the history of the two short 
years we spent amid the scenes ever nearest to my 
heart. Can you wonder that the vapid prattle of our 
ball-rooms, and the supertlcial knowledge displayed 
in most of our drawing-room society, palls upon my 
taste ?” 
“I cannot, truly; for with all my natural vivacity 
and ability to make the best of the company I am in, 
I am frequently bored to death with everybody's efforts 
to make others admire them, when, to a thoughtful 
mind, there is so little to admire. I wonder that you 
did not marry abroad, for I despair of your ever being 
suited with any one whom you may meet here.” 
“Marriage, dear Sylvia, is an event in my life 
which 1 have no desire to anticipate. Not that I am 
actually opposed to it, I should be willing to marry 
a man that 1 could /or*; J probably shall some time.

with sudden interest. Then be took it in his hand 
as carefully as If it had been a sick bird. ‘How 
pretty! wimt is it for?’ he asked next. 1 told him. 
and intending to set it off to the best advantage, 1 
put it on my own head. Now you think, of course, 
that lie paid me some neat compliment or other. 
Not at all. He musingly said — ‘ How 
will he to her hair and complexion.’ 1 
wasn’t provoking!” 
Diana laughed heartily, and cried, 
more?” 
“ Yes! When he rode up on home-back yesterday 
morning, and you was out, 1 went to the door to 
speak with him. 1 admired the beauty of his horse 
and inquired its name. Ho looked wonderfnlly 
pleased, and said, ‘You will like her. I know, when 
1 tell yon it is Diana.’ Now, my lady! 1 think the 
evidence will warrant conviction.” 
“Ah! well,” replied Diana, in a weary tone, “if 
we have talked nonsense enough for one afternoon, 
we’ll go home.” 
“But, Djan, do tell me! Did you never think of 
this before? I know you did. You are keeping 
something from me.” 
“There are mnnv things which we should keep 
even from dear friends. Did yon never keep a

“There, now! I know 1 was right! I won’t tease

THE LITTLE WICKET 
BY CAROLINE A. HOWARD, 
To every woman’s heart there is a tiny door, whereby no 
man may enter, save he who has the key. 
They formed a beautiful picture, those two young 
girls, framed in, as it were, by that luxurious and 
lirelit room. Diana West reclined in a large arm¬ 
chair, with her slippered feet stretched out to receive 
the genial warmth of the glowing grate. Her long 
hair was loosened from confinement, and fell on her 
shoulders in a heavy, dark mass, contrasting well 
with the rich colors of her dressing-gown. On the 
floor beside her sat Bylvja Fay, one round arm 
thrown carelessly across her companion's knee, so as 
to form a resting place for the curly head. 
It would be difficult to find two persons more 
opposite; tbe one in the full bloom of womanhood, 
the other little more than a child. The clock had 
struck twelve, yet there they sat, and the low murmur 
of their voices went on as if sleep were a stranger to 
their bright eyes, and weariness never Cftme to their 
graceful forms. But while the autumn winds wailed 
dismally without, and the bright fire bid defiance to 
them from within, it was pleasanter to fling aside flu 
finery which had graced the evening party, and, as 
girls will do, chat over the good time, than to lie 
awake in bed and think about it in the dark. 
“I am surprised that you do not think Marcos 
Arnold handsome,” remarked the younger of the 
two. 
“ Why? Has my little Fay fallen in love with my 
lord of the curling lip and the flashing eye?” 
“By no means! my lady of the silver how. One 
glance of his haughty eyes is enough to make poor 
little me quake with fear. I couldn’t live without 
some one to pet and indulge me, and I should as soon 
expect Jupiterbimself to descend to playing marbles, 
as Mr. Marcus Arnold to bestow caresses upon any¬ 
thing. However, T thought he might be more to the 
taste of my dignified and queenly friend.” 
“ You arc but a poor judge of human nature if you 
think so. The law of affinity would decree that the 
qualities which you ascribe to me should be the very 
reasons why I should not fed attracted by the same 
characteristics in another.” 
“But, Dian, dear, you seem to me so superior, in 
all respects, to the frivolous and superficial young 
men who form so large a part of society now-a-day’s, 
aud J have such respect for your mind and talents, 
that in selecting a partner for you, I involuntarily 
single out some tall, dark man, very learned, very 
grave and firm, with ft will as strong os your own.” 
Diana smiled and said, “I know not whether to 
consider that last idea a compliment, but 1 will not 
quarrel with you tor it. 1 believe I have a pretty 
strong will of my own, and it is scarcely strange, 
since I have always had ample room to indulge it. 1 
believe some very wise xvriters argue that humanity 
is created in halves, which, sooner or later, will he 
united. Now, i beg to set you right, if possible, on 
tbe score of my other half. But in the first place, 1

“Then, my friend, I am confident that you have 
never loved.” | 
“ 1 suppose you speak from experience, you speak f 
so earnestly. Is it so? Look up, my little Fay, and 1 
answer me.” ' 
Syi/VIA blushed, but raised her head, aud laugh- , 
ingly answered,—“ Not exactly. Instinct, a woman’s i 
intuition, would teach me that.” 
“ 1 suppose yours is a correct theory. Something j 
In my heart, tells me so. Sometimes 1 hope that I 
may never fall a victim to ' une grande passion 
Love is a game to be played by two; but the woman’s 
part is all made up of sacrifices,— the man reaps the 
advantages.” 
“True, I grant yon, in some instances, but rather 
a wurped view. I think, dear Di, that you will live 
to modify it, and T hope you may, for I think this is 
but a wretched life for a woman to live, unless love 
reigns all-powerful, to cast out the sense of sacrifice 
from her heart.” 
“I declare! Yours is a wise little head, if it is 
yellow and curly. 1 shall have to confess you yet, 
for 1 expect there is an * episode from the book of 
life at eighteen,’ hid away somewhere in your expe¬ 
rience.” 
This was but one of many cosy and confidential 
chats which took place during Sylvia Fay’s visit of 
a week. We have to do with but one more. It was 
a golden October afternoon, and the girls were in the 
woods collecting leaves for Diana's Herbarium, with 
bright berries and bits of evergreen to ornament the 
parlors. They had been silently pursuing their 
researches for some time, when Sylvia said, 
“ My Queen of the Chase, I've a niind to tell you a 
discovery that I have made. You cannot guess 
what.” 
“ A rare plant, or a choice leaf, perhaps.” 
“Pshaw! your thoughts and mine are as different 
as possible. No, indeed! You see I had hoped 
during this visit, to regale myself on some such 
choice bit of romance as finding my friend, -the 
forest maid,'in love, and having despaired of such 
an event, I have looked about and endeavored to be 
satisfied with finding some one in love with lurr." 
“ And has your patient search been crowned with 
success? I am curious to hear.” 
“ I think so, though I forbear to boast too loudly 
of my sagacity when there is a possibility of mistake. '' 
“ And who may bo the unfortunate swain?” 
“ No swain at all, my love, and that, to me, is the 
fun of it. It is no less a personage than your father's 
bachelor friend, Mr. Dusseldorp.” 
Sylvia did not see, blind little puss! that Diana 
blushed till her face and neck were alike rosy red. 
For a moment she did not reply, but stooped lower 
over the moss which she was uprooting. Her voice 
was perfectly steady when she answered without 
raising her head, 
“ A remarkable discovery truly, and one which T 
can in no way account for. Without jesting, my 
child, tell me what could have put such an absurd 
notion into your head?” 
“ Absurd! I don’t see the absurdity, except in the 
fact that he is full ten years older than yon are, and 
’ such a grave old fellow that I don’t like the prospect 
at all.” 
“What prospect?” asked Diana, sententiously, 
and without changing her position.

“It is an old and quite true remark, that the ties 
of friendship are strongest between opposites, ami a 
long acquaintance verities it. That which to your 
partial mind seems dignity and mental strength in 
me, is, in a great measure, the effect of a robust 
physical organism, increased by the course of health¬ 
ful discipline which, thanks to my good father’s care, 
has made me a well developed woman.’’ 
"Perhaps so,” replied her friend, “but my dear 
girl, do not accuse me of flattery, if I say that I 
never knew a woman who possessed your attractions, 
who seemed to have so little vanity,—so little desire 
to win the admiratiot»‘of men.” „

those traits in which you are wanting. To measure 
over five and a half feet, with corresponding weight, 
well proportioned, is to yon the acme of physical 
beauty in a woman. Few will agree with you. The 
majority of our acquaintances will call me masculine 
in personal appearance, and many will apply the 
same term to a certain tone which marks my mind 
and manners. I cannot describe it. hut in some de¬ 
gree I feel it myself. That I have few womanly
