The great man looked down npon the child: 
it was almost ludicrous to see it, so great the 
contrast. And she looked up at last—not as at 
the former meeting. It was now confidence. 
The eyes never shone so before. What were 
dew-drop3 now, compared ? She had seen a 
thousand with those eyes. Here was indeed the 
“ parting of the ways;” or was it the meeting? 
— did the paths meet here ? But she felt confi¬ 
dent; she could not feel otherwise under such 
influence. Autumn was no more the crying 
thing. It mattered not now whether the leaves 
were the autumn leaves or the summer: she 
preferred the autumn. 
They rise;—not the hunter alone, this time, 
leaving-the girl all disconcerted. They walk, the 
tall and the small, together. 
“ He for her restrains his stride, 
And she assumes a livelier gait 
To ramble at his side.” 
The mether received them with welcome. So 
proud was the daughter—yet shamed! Butin 
the presence of so much to control and assure 1 
so great a protector! how could she but feel 
that a great protector had at last arrived, — not 
that the widow wanted or feared. The One that 
feeds the ravens, hud been taking care of this 
small nest. So muck virtue was rarely found, 
and so thoroughly unobtrusive — 60 much so 
that it seemed to serve as a model for the reward 
of virtue. Not only were our widow and her 
daughter respectable, they were beloved and 
esteemed,—and much good was done by their 
example. They were humble worshippers — in 
communion with Nature and the benefident 
Ruler, whom they saw in all his works. And 
now this simple bird— this child of nature—had 
brought home from her fields this treasure, as if 
heaven had decreed it, as if the power of the 
ancient divinity had extended here. 
There was a simple rite. And now the family 
of three are doing good instead of two. The 
same life of love to the Father and Ilis family on 
earth, is continued, with stronger, united bonds 
— thankful to Him who prayed t hat the bitter 
cup might pass, yet without murmuring drank 
it, that this good, which these realized, might 
come to pass. p. g.

Address D. D. T. MOORE, Rochester, N. Y. 
and honor —one of nature's best specimens, 
which she seemed specially to delight in. 
But, we fear this incident broke up the cur¬ 
rent of our child’s wanderings. There was 
another chant On ibe fields, for the fields, the 
woodland also, were frequented as usual,) and 
a demurer aspect-. The truth is, the whole tenor 
of the child’s life was changed. She even ven¬ 
tured to ask to betaken to the city; she seemed 
to want to &ee the world now. It was only by 
snatches, when she had forgotten herself, that 
she showed signs of her old enjoyment. And 
then, ah! what grace and perfection she evinced! 
—as ii the energies bad been recruited, and the 
old passion accumulated, go perfect she was, 
she seemed master of the situation —quarrelled 
with the birds, her natural associates,—for they 
knew their old piaymate. 
She had a tinge on her cheek, from her habit 
of out door life, though naturally as white as 
the lily; and her step was firm for one so small 
— a little queen, a little deity, In her domain,— 
and refiined: a sharp discrimination did this. 
She would have gtfeced a throne In the higher 
social empire, with cultivation in that direction. 
Of late she would often become aggravated at 
the cross grain and imperfections, as she thought, 
of nature. She seemed like a bird nettled, its 
feathers ruffled. 
But there were other longings, in her quiet, 
pensive moods. A nd then she was the most quiet, 
placid child in the world. But still, ah! still, 
there was that lurking disquiet, slight, never so 
slight, but still there, when once the heart is 
stirred by the great necessity of nature. And 
Mart Grakme found, though a child of nature, 
that she was still linked to the great tide of hu¬ 
manity, even the turbulent paseion, which haB 
it* branches everywhere, reaching the remotest 
human heart. This drew her,—aud she wished, 
as wc havo seen, to see the city, the world of 
mankind, man the noble, the life-giving, the 
support of the frail fabric at his side. And he, 
the Nimrod — no other in all the wide world — 
was the one she knew, she saw always as be 
frightened her, beamed ou her. That beam,— 
what was the poor sun compared to it? The 
sun was common-place, familiar. But this 
beam — it said something that must be attended 
to; it is a necessity In the world, wisely ordain¬ 
ed by the Creator. Tills beam illumed her trip¬ 
ping way ever. Her mother made It what .the 
daughter saw—au uncorrupted beam. But, 
-“Ibe Judge rode on, 
And Maud was left in the field alone.” 
So weeks had passed, and months. The sober 
Autumn came, and then there was a plaintive 
time. The exasperating birds were gone, save a 
frail mourner here and there. Ah, how the 
winds piped! This sough was a cry. It almost 
drew a cry from the little heart that ranged the 
fields—and the spot where the leaves were more 
crimson than any where else. Yet 
-“ She never told her love. 
But let concealment like a worm in the bud, 
Feed on her damask cheek.’’ 
The old elm shone in all its splendor. So fine 
a tree the eyes -of the maiden had never seen. 
She almost trembled, however, when ske*looked 
at the power and gracefulness of this tree. Win¬ 
ter threatened. There was » shiver in this 
thonght. All the scene of the post summer 
wonuld be swept away; aud what a desolate 
pluce it would be all winter, alone, alone. So 
she gathered what comfort she could out of the 
autumn leaves, which were yet the same leaves 
of summer, but prophetic—so prophetic! And 
then she thought;—“She would not now he 
scared at the incident shonld it occur again — 
should it be repeated.” Arustle—a tread! She 
looks: he stands before her; no, b-.bidc her, as he 
did before, when all her soul went up with fear. 
It was the same form, and face, and smile , sub¬ 
dued and respectful, “ Was It accident; was It 
intended ?” This was her liret, rapid thought, 
instead of the concern she felt so “long ago.” 
But, she trembles again—more than ever—paler 
than the palest lily. What ails her now, 
gratified in all her wishes —in her secret, inner¬ 
most thought? She trembles, — 6he cannot 
avoid it. “ How foolish she was to wish — as 
she did. If he only was away, this worldly,— 
conventional man. And yet”— He was 60

~Ucre was a delicule meeting. The hunter 
scarce [knew how to behave, —as if ihere were 
too much delicacy, beauty, good refined sense. 
He must keep aloof here. (Virtue thus is its 
own shield, oh, truthful ancient.proverb!) The 
girl was safe, because she felt safe, tuid this secu¬ 
rity showed Itself. The gallant buntc-r respected 
it. He was so pleased at the unsuspected dis¬ 
covery, that he almost became embarrassed — a 
manjwho had acted in the dramas of polite life, 
and understood the rude and uncultivated as 
well. He seemed, however —except in the ex¬ 
pression—In rather a sorry plight, from the long 
contact of the wood-life, from which he was just 
now returning, ile was, therefore, not In liie 
primitive forest; but iu a woodland adjoining, 
to which this girl hud resorted. 
He made his excuses, as a gallant mac would 
— a’gallant Knight, rather, which he really was, 
both by descent and breeding. If It was natural 
for the girl to be natural — to be graceful, — so it 
was for the mau to be polite; in other words, he 
could not’ be different, without effort, aud that 
would be awkward. 80 Hie nature only went 
out towards the girl; and of course It was re¬ 
ceived, as it impressed itself—as eloquence will.

her, not a flower, but a diamond,—for adlamond

glistened at his finger, was of great value; and 
he saw its mate in the gem before him. He 6aw 
this all—all [that we have been 6aying — at a 
glance. He read the history of this child in her 
face,—in the scared yet pure look, which, in the 
moment of the accident, was 60 intent. It was 
the freshness of the morning dew, with Its per¬ 
fect purity. Aud it wae in the morning— early 
for the laggard—advanced for her—that this took 
place. It- was on a knoll overlooking the valley 
below—abroad fiat, of great and rich extent. 
A few trees at the skirt of the wood prevented a 
full view, but with space enough to let the sun 
in quite broadly and leisurely. At the right, on 
the flat, was seen a large elm, with branches 
drooping—“the most graceful tree In the world,” 
thought Mary Graeme, —and so it was. But 
now—just at this moment — a man was in in Its 
way, a6 tall, as great, and as graceful. And she

MARY GRAEME, 
THE CHILD OF NATURE. 
Little Mart Graeme was the sweetest girl in 
the neighborhood. It was out in the country 
she lived; and there she was brought up among 
the influences of Nature; — and she was a close 
observer, because she had an eye lor those things. 
Nature seemed her all,—and readily opened her 
secrets to her prying spirit. And she appreciated 
them in their full force. No wonder then that, 
she loved Nature when the saw her wonderful, 
her great,[her pure heart. She was therefore 
seen mornings hi the fields, early as the earliest 
bird that chants its joy; and her voice was equal 
to the occasion. Who was St, thought many a 
one that heard her, that sings thus early?—a 
girl, and in the ficlde. They did not know that 
she was a bird, with the instincts and artleesness 
of a bird, living the same life in nature with the 
bird. But she was as much a brook hi its purity 
and tinkling accents. Flow ere were HV*» sister* 
to her; and 6he knew them all—by her own 
names. Thus each was a pet, christened by her¬ 
self. But the grass-blades bad almost an equal 
effect upon her; sometimes It sccinod more, 
when she was sad — for she was sometimes very 
sad—and then she ebantedjdaintlvely. If she 
was in the sunlight of the fields, so 6he was also 
seen in the umbrageous forest. But she knew

blushing, “ this seat is engaged.” “ Engaged, 
is it ?” brusquely responded the man, “ who en¬ 
gaged it ?” “ A young man,” said the consci¬ 
entious maiden. “A young man, eh ! where's his 
baggage?" persisted Ureo Major. “I’m his 
baggage, Old Hateful,” replied the demure dam¬ 
sel, pursing her rosy lips into the prettiest pout.

for her task. But soon she was seen, not trip¬ 
ping and chanting ns usual, hot quietly wending 
her way in a direct line home—to her mother; 
she had no lather, no brothers, no sisters. This 
was the great episode of her life, the “ parting 
of the ways,” 
She trembled when she came home, “ What 
ails my bird, that it is all fluttered ? ” But the 
child only looked its answer, which the mother 
this time could not interpret. “She had been 
scared—by a man;" and she related the incident, 
almost crying as she proceeded, her face unusu¬ 
ally flushed, and her eyes sparkling. 
“A mere incident, child;” and the mother 
pressed her child to her bosom. But this did uot 
satisfy. There was much she wanted to know— 
aud more that she kept unrcvealed—for the first 
time in her life. 
*• It was the ‘ Justice,’ and he would not hurt 
my daughter." But the daughter knew nothing 
of the Justice, nor indeed of any one, except 
in its lift from the neck — a real swan’s neck. 
Her teeth also showed — the white ivory that 
they were, — with lips of course parted, and so 
red and velvety (for once nnkissed in the world’6 
history, save by the mother!) How intense, 
how anguished, was the look!—not a wild beast 
would so have frightened her. 
But this artlessness, which bore such an effect 
with it because so thoroughly natural—had its 
influence upon this son of the forest. Hunters
