THE FARMER'S HOME 
BT SHEXrTOXE 
Mt bank? they are furni-hed with bees 
Whose murmur invites one to sleep; 
My grottoes are shaded with trees'. 
My hills whitened over with sheep. 
I seldom have met with a loss, 
Such health do my fountains bestow, 
My fountains all bordered with moss, 
Where the harebells and violete grow. 
Not a pine in the grove can be seen 
But with tendrils of woodbine Is bound: 
Not a beech's more beautiful green 
But a sweetbrier twines it around. 
Not my fields in the prime of the year 
More charms than rny cattle unfold; 
Not a brook that is limpid and clear 
But it glitters with fishes of gold. 
I have found out a gift for rny fair, 
I have found where the wood-pigeons breed, 
But let me such plunder forbear, 
She will say, ’tis a barbarous deed. 
For he ne'er could be true, she averred, 
Who could rob a poor bird of its young; 
And I loved her the more when 1 heard 
Such tenderness fall from her tongue. 
songs of the robins in their nests. Her fingers 
were straying among the tiny clusters of purple 
blossoms that hung upon the creeping vine over 
their low doorway; but she was all unmindful 
of their fragrance, or of the shimmering starlight 
upon their leaves. She was thinking of Amt, 
her only daughter, the child of her old age, 
and the living picture of the husband she had 
mourned so long and truly. What wonder that 
all her teuderest thoughts were of her, or that 
she held her happiness closer to her heart even 
than her own life or comfort! 
Gon wills it shall be so. Out of the depths of 
a mother’s love &pring holy impulses and strong 
self-denials that would shame many a brave 
umubood! 
It was late, after all, before Amt returned, and 
when she came into the sitting-room, she startled 
her mother out of her calmness into a great fear, 
for surely something had happened to her dar¬ 
ling to bring that strange look of unquiet into 
her eyes, and make her lip tremble so. For a 
moment she could only look her sympathy, then 
suddenly it all broke forth in a loving appeal. 
"Ah, Amy, what has happened to you! Who 
has been troubling my child’s content?” 
Amy’s face was very white as she told, be¬ 
tween sobs and tears, how Miss Howard had 
insulted her; taunting her with her poverty, 
and desiring her not to force her unwelcome 
presence again where she had other company. 
“But, child, what was the cause of all this; 
surely she has always treated you well before ? ” 
“ Yes — but to-night there was a gentleman 
with her, and J suppose she did not wish me to 
come in ; though it was the room where I have 
always seen her, and the servant directed me 
there.” 
“ Did she insult you thus before this stranger?” 
“ No! At least, she came out into the hall 
with me, but he must have heard part of what 
she said as the door was ajar ; ” and Amy shiv¬ 
ered again at the remembrance of the unfeeling 
words. 
“Never mind, darling; her words, though 
they may have been bitter and unwomanly, 
cannot hurt you.” So she soothed her as she 
had done in years gone by, and, smoothing back 
tbe hair from her burning brow, laid her cool 
fingers upon it, until Amt, weary in body, and 
spent in the inward strength, slept. A sweet 
sleep it was, too. The same innocent light that 
shone upon her face when a little child, was 
there., only shining with a new glory born of an 
awakened womanhood. The sobs all ceased, and 
her breath came at length slowly and peacefully. 
Ah! thought the loving mother, bending over 
her, bow like a tired child my Amy sleeps! 
She -was like a child still. Only seventeen fair 
summers bud blown over her head, and as she 
had stood for a moment in Col. Howard’s par¬ 
lor that evening, Ellis Grandon could not 
restrain a look of unfeigned pleasure at the sight. 
This new expression on his handsome face was 
what had annoyed Miss Howard beyond her 
self-control, and she had vented her displeasure 
on poor Amy. Yet her vexation was greatly 
Increased when, upon Amt’s departure, her 
companion made minute inquiries concerning 
Mies Lester; whether she had always lived in 
the village, and what was the name of her father. 
She answered his questions half petulantly, yet 
entirely to his satisfaction; and the next day 
Ellis Grandon walked over to Mrs. Lesetr’s 
little cottage, and surprised both Amt and her 
mother sitting at the window. 
Her mother was watching her with tender 
eyes, while she was coaxing redbreasts with 
sweet crumbs of bread, the dainty bit of blue 
velvet, with its pure lilies, its great royal vio¬ 
lets, and its budding roses destined for Miss 
Howard, lying at her side in a low chair. He 
took in all the pretty picture at a glance, thiuk- 
ing over the words of that old poet, Jodelle, 
whose translation runs thus — 
“ ] saw thee weave a web with care. 
Where at thy touch fresh roses grew, 
And marveled they were formed so fair, 
And that thy heart such nature knew. 
Alas, how idle my surprise, 
Since naught so plain can be: 
Thy cheek their richest hue supplies, 
And in thy breath their perfume lies; 
Their grace and beauty all arc drawn from thee.” 
The sweet, young face, outlined against the 
dark, old-fashioned chair, looking, it seemed to 
him, a little sadder than it did the day before; 
with such a holy light in the shy, brown eyes, 
the summer sunshine drifting over the wavy 
hair, turning its soft luster to gold, and the deli¬ 
cate hand, just lifted above the window-ledge, 
dropping out the crumbs to the birds. 
Mrs. Lester was surprised and tempted to be 
a little angry at the intrusion, until he told 
his name; then , indeed, she knew him for the 
“grown-up boy” be said he wns, whom her 
husband bud in large measure befriended, years 
before, and from whom, after he had graduated 
and sailed for Germany, she had never heard. 
“ But I have often w ondered what had become 
of you,” she said, when they had grown a little 
more familiar; * ‘ and you look almost as you did, 
only f/rou'n up , as you say.” 
“I am the same in one respect; in the never- 
ending gratitude I feel to you, and to him who 
is gone.” 
“ Don’t think of that hereafter. He felt more 
than repaid in what you came to be, and I-' 
Here she broke down; lbr her thoughts had 
wandered back, and it was Amy’s pleasant voic-e 
which came in as a sweet interlude to the broken 
conversation; and Amt said to berself, as he 
went away alter an hour’s talk, what she had 
said the night before, “It must be good to be 
j loYed by such a man.” 
Weeks passed away, and Ellis Grandon was

AMY LESTEE’S MISTAKE 
BY CLIO STANLEY 
Amy Lester was a slight girl, with wavy 
brown hair and eyes of the same color, large, 
dreamy, and sometimes hiding in tbeir depths 
the look of a startled fawn. Perhaps you 
would not have called her face beautiful, for 
the features were irregular, and her complexion 
browned with the sun; but that look of trust 
and unselfishness made it lovely to all who 
knew her. 
It had been a bright June day, fresh and radi¬ 
ant as these first summer days always are; the 
air bad been frill of the breath of sweet roses and 
sunlight and songs of happy birds, but just now 
the full, golden light was fading to a soft twi¬ 
light, and the early stars were coming out, 
silently, one by one, making golden ladders lip 
through the bine archway, on which young 
thoughts might climb from earth to heaven. 
Amy sighed as she laid down the quaint pat¬ 
tern of embroidery on which she had been so 
patiently at work all the afternoon, and folded her 
hands idly in her lap. It was not often that she 
allowed herself an idle moment; not but that 
she was child enough yet to have been eager for 
holidays; to have been glad if she might have 
roamed through those fields plucking red clovers 
the livelong day; but such pastimes were not 
for her, and so she did cheerfully what her hands 
found to do, keeping holiday in her heart all the 
same. 
As she sat so quietly, leaning back against the 
window frame, the door opened, and she looked 
up to meet Lor mother’s warm smile, and feel 
her fond kiss on her cheek. 
“You arc lired, child. How I wish you would 
lay aside this work for a day and enjoy yourself.” 
“Enjoy myself, mother!” exclaimed Amt, 
“why I am enjoying myself all the time.” 
“I don’t see how. Amt.” 
“ Why, over this dainty work. Don’t you see 
what a beautiful pattern I have chosen ? Miss 
Howard left it all to my taste; so I’ve pleased 
myself while trying to please her,” and she 
paused while a bright smile played over her face. 
“ Yes, but where is the pleasure, child ? ” said 
her mother, gently. 
“Why, mother, dou’t you sa-f I sit here all 
day and just watch these lilies and violets bud 
and bloom under my busy fingers, and the green 
leaves grow ou the delicate stems, and know 
that my fancy has evoked all this beauty on the 
dead splendor of Miss Howard’s velvet; and 
then, once in a while, when the sunshine steals 
under the old willow tree, dropping in here upon 
my violets, I can almost fancy I am out in the 
fields.” 
Her mother smiled at the pretty conceit, even 
while a tear stood in her loving eye. 
“And so you see, mother, I am quite happy 
after all; happier, may be, than Miss Howard 
with all her wealth; though,” she continued, 
while somehow the glad look faded from her 
face, “it must be very sweet to be loved as she 
will be with a lifelong devotion,” 
“Amt,” said her mother, after a long pause, 
“ it is sweet to be loved, but are you sure that 
you, too, are not as much blessed as Miss 
Howard?” 
She blushed, faintly at first; then, the crimson 
tide welled up over cheek and brow, until she 
bowed her face on her hands to hide the rich 
color from sight. 
“My child, what does this mean? Does not 
Herbert Vacghn love you, and,” she hesitated 
a moment in almost painful indecision, “do you 
not love him in return ?” 
“No, no, dear mother! do not speak thus! 
Mr. Vaughn knows that I can never be his wife.” 
“He would surround you with comforts, my 
darling, and fill your young life with glad reali¬ 
zations. Think how you have longed to travel, 
dear; as- his wife, you could see those far, pleas¬ 
ant lands which you have so longed to see, ever 
since your childhood.” 
“ Hush, mother! Would you have me marry 
him tor his money? ” 
“ Not unless you can love him with it, but he 
is a kind and gentle friend, and I thought you 
had begun to care for bim of late.” 
“ I do care for him as a friend, but that is all,” 
and she folded up her work, took down her sim¬ 
ple straw hat from the closet, and tying it on, 
started to leave the room. 
“ Must you go out to night, Amy,” said Mrs. 
Lester, following her to the door. 
“Only for a little while. 1 promised Miss 
the very last thing in chignons.

Still a dweller in their quiet village: often at the

Miss Howard’s consternation, at the humble 
cottage where Amy Lester lived; though she 
did suppose some show of respect was due 
from Mr. Grandon toward Mrs. Lester as “his 
early friend.” It was not until a month had 
come and gone, ibat it became known that he 
was Mrs. Howard’s sister’s child, or step-child 
— rumor could not decide which — neglected, 
while poor and unfortunate, by his wealthy rela¬ 
tives, but now courted publicly by them all. 
How gay that summer was! June grew 
brighter and brighter until she was lost in the 
passionate days of midsummer, and September 
came, cool and pleasant; and then Ellis Gran¬ 
don talked of going home. 
Ah, how Amy’s heart sank. She knew in that 
moment that she loved him ! Loved him, when 
she bad known all along that he was the avowed 
lover of another. What tears of shame burned 
under her drooping eyelids no one but berself 
ever knew, for they burned there but did not fall. 
It was the last evening but-one of his stay—and 
he had come in with his old boyish freedom, 
throwing himseif carelessly down upon the little 
sofa by V ; window. Tbe conversation, after

lively gallies. Bv-aiid-by, however, he, too, 
sobered down, dud said, turning round to Amy s 
mother, “I came here to-day to ask you some¬ 
thing.” , 
“ Yes” — she replied, interrogatively. 
“1 want to come back for my wife next 
month,” he said, “and I havu’t even asked her 
permission yet, until I know whether you would 
be satisfied or not.” 
“You surely needn’t ask me" she answered, 
“you would only think of suiting yourself, I 
should suppose.”’ 
“ Yes. but 1 do need to do it,” heeding only 
one half of what she said;” why, I have not 
even dared to *peak of my love yet; do not refuse 
me your sanction to do so to-night,” 
“ Amy won’t you bring me a glass of water,” 
and Am v went but of the room as fast ;ts her 
trembling but eager feet would carry her; and 
then her mother coiitiuuod, “Of course, who¬ 
ever you may choose as your wife, Ellis, I 
should try to like for your sake, if for no other; 
and sincerely I hope Miss Howard may make 
you a good and true wife.” 
“ Miss Howard ! ” Then, in a moment more 
lie approached the dear little woman who sat 
there, listening so Intently for Ami ’s returning 
footsteps that she failed to note the tone of sur¬ 
prise in which those two words were uttered, 
and taking her haucl in his, said, soberly, “ The 
only woman on earth I would make my wife is 
AmY Lester ; now, if yon say no, I must go.” 
“What! My little Amy! ” And it was her 
turn to be surprised then, 
“ Your little Amy now; but 1 want her for 
mine, too then, while a sudden fear ran over 
his strong heart, he said, with a voice sadly un¬ 
steady, “Do you thiuk she loves any one else?” 
But Amy was there to answer for herself, and 
he repeated his question eagerly, looking into 
her brown eyes, and holdinglier hand tightly in 
his own. 
“Mother,” she whispered, “does be know 
what he is saying ? ” And she torned her white 
face around toward her; but her mother only 
smiled, and he urged again, "You love me a 
little, Amy, dear? v ' 
Oh, was it only a little,— this love that burned 
in her cheek, throbbed in her pulses, and assert¬ 
ing itself to her own consciousness, looked at 
him out of her lifted eyes ? 
We will not say what Ellis read there, but he 
gathered her up close to Ins breast, as if to shield 
her from Die whole world, and said over aud 
over again, so tenderly, “ My little Amy ! — dear 
little Amy!” * # * * * * 
There was a quiet wedding at the cottage six 
weeks later, and Amv, with fresh roses laughing 
on her cheek, and sunshine sparkling in her eve, 
became Mrs. Ellis Grandon. That Miss How¬ 
ard was greatly disappointed, we have reason to 
believe, for she had given every one to under¬ 
stand that he was her tover, and it is only fair to 
believe that she expected to be his wile.*

Miss Howard’s velvet, but sent it back witii a 
sober little excuse, which brought a red flush to 
her cheek when she read it
