•we reached Mrs. Blake's door again. 
“ \Vc must have more of this,” he said, as he 
lifted me from the carriage. “ Yon mast let me 
constitute myself your medical adviser, and 
prescribe frequent repetitions of this medicine.” 
After this his carriage was often at the door, 
and he some times lured me from my book or 
work to join him in a search for some new plant 
or wild flower. And often, on entering my 
school-room, I found beside the huge vaee 
which the loving bnt unskillful bands of my 
pupils kept filled with buttercups and daisies 
and field-lilies, a small cluster of fragrant wild 
flowers, or a rare exotic in a vase of delicate 
workmanship, that called a thrill to my heart 
and a glow to my cheek. 
One week, as the term of my engagement was 
nearing its close, 1 missed him. The sweet 
flowers I had learned to look for so eagerly were 
not found upon my desk, and Count, Sydney’s

the eare I bestowed upon them by the improve¬ 
ment and interest they manifested. My home 
was with a widow lady, n kind old soul, whose 
cottage stood near the Huntingdon mansion. 
Clara was failing very steadily 1 could see, 
and many were the hours 1 spent with her,— 
hoars which were a delightful relier from the 
monotony of school, to me, and seemed to make 
th* weary days shorter for her. Mrs. Hunting¬ 
don was often with us, and occasionally, though 
not often, Mr. Huntingdon, or “ Mr. Sydney,” 
as the tenantry called him, came into Clara's 
room to bring a few wild Cowers, gathered in a 
woodland ramble, or a new book for the invalid. 
Once or twice 1 met him while strolling through 
the edge of the woods that came down within a 
few rods of the house, and he called sometimes at 
Mrs. Blake's with a book for me, but for the 
most part I saw little of him. 
The weeks sped swiftly, marred only by the 
sad certainty that Clara was sinking surely 
and rapidly. As she grew weaker I was with 
her during every hour unoccupied by school 
duties. It was hard for me; hut I could not re¬ 
fuse her when the clung so closely to me and 
pleaded so touchingly for my presence with her. 
But one bright day late in summer, wc stood 
among the white stones in the Huntingdon 
burial ground, and chanted a funeral dirge by an 
open grave, and a few of us who loved her best 
lingered to smooth the turf over Clara’s last 
resting place. 
The old mansion seemed very lonely now, and 
I went there less frequently, though Mrs. Hunt¬ 
ingdon often urged me to come. But I was so 
worn with my watching with Claka and with 
my school duties, that the quiet of my own 
room was very welcome to me. 
One warm afternoon, as I was leaving the 
school-room, wearied and pale with heat and 
the labors of the day, 1 encountered SYDNEY 
Huntingdon. He waited for me at the gate, 
saying as 1 came up — 
“ Ton are looking very tired, Miss Morrison ; 
your close application is wearing upon you.” 
1 replied that I hoped to grow better as the 
weather became cooler. 
“ Ion see,” he said, laughingly, “you are in 
my especial charge this summer, and it won’t 
do to let you wear youraclf out. It would place 
me in an unpleasant predicament if my little 
school-mistress should get ill, and leave me to 
find a substitute. Seriously, Miss Morrison, I 
think you are confining yourself too closely. 
I’m going to drive down the river road a few 
miles this afternoon; won’t you go with me? 
I’m sure the ride will do you good. Let me call 
for you when you are rested.” 
The very thought of the ride down the beauti¬ 
ful river road was refreshing; still more so, 1 
found, was the reality, when a few hours later 
“I will seek a situation elsewhere,” for I was ; 
not yet strong enough to brave the, frequent 
meetings with Sydney Huntingdon that I knew 
roust come, if I remained another term. 
I sought the burial ground with ft heart almost 
as heavy as when we stood there beside Clara's 
open grave; but I was not. thinking so much of 
the silent one whom we bad tbeD borne hither 
ns of mv own loneliness and the weakness with 
which I staggered under this new burden. 1 
thought wearily or the day Sydney Huntingdon 
came to our bouse, throwing a ray of sunshine 
upoD my dark prospects for the immediate 
future; hut the clouds had gathered darker 
than ever, and seemed the heavier for the sun¬ 
shine that had come and gone; 
I The frost had tinged the green of the trees 
with crimson and yellow, and the short turf 
waving in green mounds about me was sprin¬ 
kled with the eayiv Anted leaves. I gathered ft 
few of these from Clara's grave; and, warned 
r>y the slanting sunlight through the evergreens, 
Tretraeed my steps. I had struck into a foot- 
I path that led through the edge of the wood, 
when a voice that I knew too well arrested my 
steps. 
I “May I walk home with yon. Miss Morri¬ 
son?” asked Stdxet Huntingdon, and stepped 
j to my side. 
“ My school closes to-morrow,” J said, wish¬ 
ing to broach the subject of my departure. 
Instead of replying he stepped into the path 
before roe and stopped. 
“Bes8ib,” he said abruptly, “why have you 
avoided me so of late ?” 
I did not answer, and he went on— 
“ What came over you in that week of my ab¬ 
sence? I hoped then, Bessir,” and he came 
I nearer and took both my hands in his, “that 
! you were learning the lesson of love I was try¬ 
ing to teach you. Tell me I was not mistaken, 
my darling; tell me that you love me, and will 
be my wife,” and he bent over roe eagerly. 
But I drew away from him, saying, “ You for¬ 
get the difference in our position, Mr. Hunting¬ 
don, you forget that you arc asking a dowcrless 
bride.” 
“Oh, Bessie,” and his tone was full of re- 
' proach, “don’t you know I have enough for 
both oi us ? All 1 want is your love, my darling, 
—will you give me that?” 
I will not tell yon what I told him, but will 
say that I carried out my original intention of 
going home, and th#t another teacher took my 
place that winter, and that a great deal of prep¬ 
aration went on at home, followed by a few 
words spoken in our little parlor by our pastor, 
and a trip to Europe with 8i only. If you wtah 
to know, however, what it was I said that day 
under the trees, you may ask my husband, as he 
sits near me engaged with his "foreign corre¬ 
spondence.” I think he will tell yon it was 
something neither of us have ever hud occasion 
to regret.

ILLUSTRATED PRIZE REBUS. 
favorite dog, which had always accompanied us 
in our walks, came over to the cottage and 
stretched himself at my feet, as if he felt that I 
sympathized with his loneliness. I heard that 
Mr. Huntingdon had been suddenly called away 
on business; and during those few days I 
learned how surely he had grown into my life. 
It was a startling acknowledgment that my 
heart made, for I felt how vain was the hope 
that, he conld ever be else to me than a friend. 
For was he not talented, handsome, wealthy, 
and of a prond family ? while I was poor and 
plain, and had nothing to give him hut love. 
Then something whispered, “He ia a base 
trifler, and has been trying to win your heart to 
see how easy a conquest he conld make.” Bnt 
my woman’s heart repelled the aspersion. 
“No,” I said, “be saw me drooping, and tried 
to cheer me—as he would have raised a droop¬ 
ing flower from the dust, or spoken a cheerful 
word to any weary wayfarer he might meet. 
His attentions to me sprang from an impulsive, 
generous kindness, and it had not occurred to 
him what the result to me might be.” Thus I 
exensed him, and blamed only myself for my 
weakness. He bad offered me only pity, and 
I-, well, he &hould not have unasked love in 
return- 1 would avoid bim, I said, till I grew 
stronger, and able to meet bim as 1 did others. 
So, when the night of his return he came 
over to the cottage, with Count bounding joy¬ 
ously at his side, and asked me to join bim in a 
walk, I declined, pleading letters which must 
be written. 
“Yon are looking pale; yon have been ill,” 
he said. 
“I have been and am quite well, I thank 
you,” I replied, a little piqued at his noticing 
the change in me. 
He looked surprised, and, I fancied, a little 
burl at my manner; bnt turned, whistled to 
Count, and walked away. After that I managed 
to avoid him for a time. I took walks in new 
directions when I went out, avoiding our old 
haunts; and the weather helped me, for it 
rained steadily for several days, so that walks or 
rides were impracticable. 
But the storm cleared away a day or two 
before my'sehool closed, and I felt that I must 
visit Clara’s grave once more before I left the 
neighborhood; “ and then,” I said to myself,

Send Early!—In order that we may get the nameB 
of subscribers in type for mailing machine as fast and | 
early as possible, our frelnds are requested to send their 
ngto—Qt-portions of them—^a* soon as convenient. Those j 
wbo are forming large clubs can send what they have, 
and complete their lists arterwarda. Many agents keep

and some after sending for one club form another and 
get a second or larger premium.

Bubal Is $2J0, and if any agents offer It for le»e they 
must pay tu that price. Our rates are Invariable, and 
dod» are authorized to depart from them — though of 
coarse wc cannot prevent agenta from doing so, or even 
giving away the paper; that is then business. 
Local Clnb Agents.— We want a live, wide-awake 
agent for the Rubal In every town where there 1 b none. 
Bender, If yon cannot net as Buch, please Induce your 
P. M. or some Influential friend to do bo. 
No Traveling Agents are employed by ns, and we 
give no certificates of agency. Any person go disposed 
can act as Local Clnb Agent, on his or her own author¬ 
ity, and compete for premiums, etc. 
How to Remit.— The safest way te remit for the

The Price of th« Rural.—If any one objects to 
the price of the Rttr.il, please ask him or her to com¬ 
pare the paper In Contents, Appearance, Ac., with any 
similar Journal, weekly or monthly,—or with any reprint 
oi a dally or trashy literary paper. State the tact that 
the first cost of the Ruual (for Editorial aud other Con¬ 
tributions, Engravings, Ac., Ac.) la far greater than that 
of any of its contemporaries,—aud moreover that It 1* 
far cheaper now, at |3, than it was at 12 before the war, 
compared with the prices of provisions, clothing, etc. 
A little examination and figuring will satisfy any candid, 
Intelligent person that the Rubal Nkw-Yobkek Is really 
the cheapest paper of Its class. 
About Frcnifums, Ac. —Agents and others who 
form clubs for our premiums will please be careful, In 
sending tn tbclr lists, to note which are the new sub¬ 
scribers and which are the renewals. This is essential 
that we may keep the accounts correctly. 
Keep a Hist I—If ench agent will keep a list, of all 
the names sent ns, with dates aud amounts of remit¬ 
tances, It will greatly facilitate the correction of any 
errors which may be made at either end of the line. 
The Beat Way to obtain subscribers for the Bubal 
I s to show the paper. Take a number In your pocket 
when you go visiting, or to the store, mill, etc.

The merriest, brightest, gayest girl, 
That ever won smiles from village churl. 
I see her now with her eyes of blue, 
And hair of that golden, sunny hue, 
As if threads of light had broken away 
From the shining orb of the god of day, 
And shimmering down through the hazy air 
Settled at lust on her yellow hair; 
And her rosy cheek, and dimpled chin, 
And innocent face that thought of sin 
Had never crossed in those other days, 
When Daisy Dean had such pretty ways. 
But a pretty face is dangerous, when 
It wins the regard of bold, bad men. 
And she was so flattered and weak and yonng, 
And he so subtle aud fond and strong,— 
'Tie the same old story, the tempter came, 
And wooed her away to sin and shame. 
And her father and mother soon lay low, 
Where an innocent one slept long ago. 
Now Daisy Is dead, and laid at their feet, 
And flowers will bloom over her pure and sweet. 
And One above In yon radiant beaver, 
May claim her His own, a sinner forgiven.

And DaisyIDean is dead, you say, 
Dead in December, bom in May. 
It waft a dreary, dismal afternoon in early 
spring, the fog clinging pertinaciously to the 
hills, and the rain dripping down at intervals in 
the most gloomy way imaginable. The day was 
enough of itself to give one the blues, but 1 felt 
so discouraged that the weather was quite a 
minor consideration. 
It wae the old story. Father bad died a few 
years before, when my brother’s and my own 
education was but half completed. For a few 
teruus longer we studied on, but when want 
came so close to us that Phil, gave np gradua¬ 
ting and Bought employment, I did not feel 
that I could burden him by remaining at echool 
longer, and J, too, gave up my studies, and for 
a time bad taught in the village school near by. 
But the kind friend who had aided me to the fcit- 
uation had recently died, and a new Committee 
had been appointed who had not seen fit to 
retain me, so I wae seeking employment again, 
thus far in vain. 
Thus it happened that I wae looking out into 
the dreary afternoon with an anxiouB heart 
Mother noticed my mood, and divining the 
cause, said, soothingly — 
“Never mind, Bessie, it will be for the beet, 
though we cannot eee it now. Cheer up, child, 
and don’t worry about the future. Was that a 
knock at the door ? ” 
I rose, Blinking the shreds of work from my 
dresft and went to the door. 
“ Mre. Morrison lives here V ” 
I bowed silently. 
“ And this is Miss Bessie Morrison ? ” 
I bowed again, aud ushered the gentleman into 
the little sitting room. 
“ My name i& Sydney Huntingdon,” he con¬ 
tinued, taking the chair I proffered him. “You 
may have heard my cousin, Clara Kingsley, 
speak of our family.” 
Clara had been my room-mate in school, and 
I had often heard her speak of her uncle and 
guardian, Esq. Huntingdon, and “Coosin 8yd. 
who was then in Europe, and of the luxurious 
home to which they had welcomed her after her 
mother's death. Mr. Huntingdon had recently 
returned home, he Informed me, to relieve his 
father of business cares, and, among other things, 
had undertaken to raise the school among his 
tenantry and employees from its present low 
condition. Clara had suggested me, with high 
recommendations, and it was his desire to secure 
my services if possible. The conditions were 
soon settled, and I engaged to be at my post in a 
few weeks. 
Clara, he said, had met with a serious injnry 
which confined her a hopeless invalid to her 
room, and was delighted at the thought of my 
spending the summer near her. The rain had 
ceased for a few moments when he left, and as 
he passed out at the door I saw & stray gleam of 
sunlight glinting the tree buds in the door-yard, 
and the trees shook their broaches together, 
sendiug’down a shower of glittering drops, as if 
they, too,'were shaking off the weight of the 
dreary day in the ray of sunshine that had 
come at last. 
Mother had left tho sittiDg-room when I re¬ 
entered it, and I fell to thinking, natural enough 
was it not? of the man who had just left me. I 
felt relieved, bnt it seemed as if something of the 
old comfort was gone from the room. Some¬ 
how the colors in the room carpet seemed dim¬ 
mer than when he entered; and the tarnished 
spots on the woll-prescrved furniture showed 
more plainly; and then Mr. Huntingdon’s 
voice and look, rather than his face and figure, 
came to me again. When mother returned she 
said his was a handsome fact, and a noble form 
and carriage, and wondered if he had yet seen 
his thirtieth year; bnt I had not thought of either. 
Well, the days glided by, and one sunny morn¬ 
ing found me standing in the school-room on the 
Huntingdon domains, before about fifty boys 
and girls, from overgrown lads and lassies of 
fifteen down to children just out of the cradle. 
“Our wild Arabs,” Hr. Huntingdon called 
them—and the title was not inappropriate. But 
as the weeks went on I found myself repaid for 
Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
MY SUMMER’S WORK.
