A bright June night of the next year saw a 
merry wedding at Mrs. Gubbnsbt’9. Bright faces 
and noble, manly forms filled the rooms, for all 
were anxious to see Mat Clinton giye her hand, 
as she had long ago given her brave little heart, 
into Lisle Hartley's keeping: and with a fond, 
proud smile ob bis lips, Col. Matne Duganne 
greeted the fair bride; fond, because he still claim¬ 
ed her friendship, and proud inasmuch as he felt 
that it ennobled him to receive it. 
Mat’s unde and aunt bade her a loving farewell 
as she left them for her new home, at which they 
were ever welcome guests. 
Mayne Duganne comes and goes, like a brother, 
and has playfully adopted May’s youngest pet, as 
she has not only her mother’s name, but the same 
sweet face. He has never found any woman to fill 
the place Mat once held id his heart, but he sits, 
content and happy, at their fireside, with little Mat 
Hartley's sunny head pillowed on his broad breast.

BY GEO. B. LB LAND, 
Where is there to be found a finer specimen of 
word-painting than this upon Life, by that rare 
artist, Frank Taylob ! We copy it from his inim¬ 
itable “ January and June 
“ The. pulses of Nature never beat more audibly 
and musically than just about ‘ the leafy month of 
June,’ life, everywhere life, in field and flood, in 
earth and air, and sky. Life in all forms; life with 
a sweet breath in it, life with a song in it, life with 
a light in it. Life tied up in little bags of most 
Quakerish - looking silk, by that sly spinner, the 
spider; life done np in gray bundles, and hung 
upon apple trees; deposited in little brown paper 
caps, or packed away in little clay cells, by gentry 
in yellow jackets, and gentry with delicate waists; 
life hidden in the hearts of ripening plums and red¬ 
dening cherries —find a sweeter cradle anywhere, if 
you can; life rocked in shells, put up in mother-of- 
pearl, set In ivory, chased with gold, consigned to 
little graves everywhere; laid away in patent burial 
cases, and fastened to rails and fence posts; life, 
that, by-and-by, Bhall spread wings damp with the 
imprint of this great stereotyping establishment of 
the Almighty; life standing on end, in little boats, 
and riBing into the air, and taking to bugle-ing as 
soon as it is born, and evincing by the presentation 
of ‘bills’ at most unseasonable and unreasonable 
hours, a dreaded talent for ledger literature; life 
sheltering itself beneath the leathern umbrella of 
the mushroom, reveling in the rose’B red heart, 
drilled into the solid rock, domiciled in mnd hov¬ 
els, along rafters and beneath eaves, playing the 
plighted cloudB, laid in the manger, peeping from 
holes, floating in the air, swinging in the wind, 
skulking under the chips, burrowing in the earth, 
darting along rail fences, opening nankeen throats 
from little brooklets of twigs, floating in tatters of 
green baize on the ponds; life in bags and boxes, 
bundles and blankets; in silks, satins and shells; 
in lights, aDd flowers and feathers and flannels ; life 
knocking from the center of fallen logs; knocking 
from the other side of shells, white and blue, and 
mauled and dappled ; aDd June is 
* The delegated voice of God,’ 
to bid them come in, come np, come down, come 
out, and be, and do, and suffer; conjugating and in¬ 
flecting the great active verb, 1 Live.’ ”

THE HASTY JUDGMENT 
BY CLIO STANLEY, 
than all, that he had flirted with the little French 
lady, staying at Mrs. Dubont’s, until her husband 
turned him out of the house; and Emilie Verbis, 
in her mad infatuation, had followed him to parts 
unknown. People who had known him formerly 
spoke of his wonderful likeness to Lisle, bo great 
that even their nearest friends bad mistaken one 
for the other. 
Thus the hard lesson came home to Mat. Un¬ 
forgiving and uncharitable—wanting in all real 
womanly tenderness and Christ-like spirit—here 
was the reward, measured out for her. She had 
taken up the cross, of her own free-will:—Could 
she bear it to the bitter end y 
was the first to rise and, leaving a kiss on her adopt¬ 
ed mother’s lips, hasten to her own room. 
What battle she fought there, with her own heart, 
no one can know, for the silence that hideB such 
grief is sacred. 
Two day6 passed away sadly enough for Mat, 
who went about the house, where her footsteps 
had hitherto echoed so joyously, with silent voice 
and downcast eyes, where tears seemed to be wear¬ 
ing away half the old brightness. Mrs. Guernsey 
and her husband both watched her with grief at 
their hearts, for her lightest pain always moved 
them, and now they did not know how to comfort 
her. To speak of her absent friend seemed but to 
wound her loving heart anew, and so they left her 
to her own sad silence. 
The third day, when Mr. Guernsey came home, 
May sat in the deep, curtained window, reading a 
tiny note which the servant had jast brought in, 
and he did not, see her aa she drew back and half 
smiled to herself. 
“ God forgive me if I have misjudged him,” she 
was saying softly, for the note which her trembling 
hands held bo tightly to her heart, ran thus 
“ Mat :—Shall I come to you a few moments to¬ 
night? Forgive the hasty temper the other night 
and forget the worse than idle words 1 spoke. Be¬ 
lieve, until the happy hour when 1 can come to you, 
that I can and will explain everything to your con¬ 
tent,. 1 should have come to you last night, but a 
puzzling case was on hand, and I could not getaway 
light was out 
That was all, but the words came to her aching 
heart like returning sunshine to the dark earth. 
She had just started up to drop the curtain, when 
she heard Mr. Guernsey saying: 
“ Yes, I understand. It wili but add to her grief 
to know it, and 1 am not 6ure 1 could keep my tem¬ 
per should I meet him face to face.” 
“ What can have changed him so ?” 
‘‘ I cann ot telL Perhaps we h ave all been deceived 
in him. There were some gay, young fellows about 
the door, and one of them said as I passed out, 
‘Well, I wouldn’t believe it before, but Hartley 
is done for, sure enough! The little ‘ belle Emilie’ 
has gained him over.’ ” 
A quick gasp and a heavy fall arrested the reply 
on Mrs. Guernsey’s lips, and they both turned hast¬ 
ily to see Mat lying senseless od the floor. Every 
drop of color had fled from her face, and for a mo¬ 
ment the fear was uppermost in their hearts that 
May was indeed dead; but as they lifted her gently 
to the sofa, Bke opened her eyes, and said, faintly, 
“ Did 1 dream, or is it all true V Where did you see 
him last night, uncle ?” 
He half turned away as he replied, “At the Opera, 
darling, but do not look so sad, Mat. Forget one 
so unworthy your brave little heart, and be your old 
self again.” 
“ Wait a little, and be patient with me. I must 
have timeand so speaking softly and tearfully, 
as one speaks over the grave of a friend, she glided 
from the room. 
A half hour after, and Lisle Hartley had re¬ 
ceived a note at Mr. Guernsey’s door, from the 
hand of that gentleman. He paused under the 
street lamp to read the few words it contained. 
“ Forget May Clinton ; or, if you remember her 
at all, remember how you have wronged her. I will 
endeavor to forget your disgrace, but 1 cannot see 
yon again.” 
“ So the words are said and we are worse than 
strangers; probably she knows all I could have 
told her, and her pride is greater than her love,”— 
and then followed those bitter words with which 
our story opens. 
So Lisle Hartley met his fate, and went to his 
home at. the hotel, thinking, as he went, that all 
hope of any other home was now at an end, and 
cursing himself for his blind trust in one whom he 
had believed to be full of all gentleness and charity. 
Yet, as he sat alone by his Are that night, he found 
the old love stronger than ever in his heart; he re¬ 
membered each look and word she had bestowed 
upon him, and all the bright hopes he had cher¬ 
ished, until now, as he saw them vanishing one by 
one, the future seemed very dark and he felt brood¬ 
ing over him the utter desolation uf a disappointed 
heart. 
With such feelings it is not strange that he came 
to the determination to leave the place where every¬ 
thing would serve to remind him of his grief; and 
two weeks had not elapsed before the little coterie 
of friends and acquaintances, who had numbered him 
among themselves, were astonished at missiDg him 
one day and reading his name in the list of passen¬ 
gers for Europe, by the steamer Glendinning which 
sailed the t wenty-fifth. 
How Mat felt no one knew, for she hugged her 
thoughts to herself in tearless agony, and showed a 
calm, quiet face to all those who watched her with 
curious eyes. But a yet heavier trial was in store 
for her. The month had not gone by ere she learn¬ 
ed, from one and another, that Lisle Hartley’s 
twin brother, who had been wild and wicked in his 
youth, and had spent his later years on the conti¬ 
nent, no one could tell how, had returned, and was 
in his old career of drunkenness and folly; worse 
“ Selfish and heartless!” 
Lisle Hartley said the words over and over, as 
if he would compel himself to believe them, in 
spite of a queer little feeling, down in his heart, 
that they were veriest falsehood. 
Thinking so constantly, as he had done for the 
last six months, of May Clinton, it was no won¬ 
der that her name should find its way to his lips 
jUBt now, but it certainly was a strange thing to 
hear those two significant words follow it,—for 
every one who knew May praised her as most un- 
selfish and sincere, and /or once , at least, what 
every one said was true. 
At eighteen May Clinton was left without father 
or mother, and would have been alone in the world 
but for her mother’s step-sister, Mrs. Guernsey, 
who took the orphan not only to her home but to 
her heart; she had never been blessed with a child 
of her own, and upon May she poured out all the 
yearning affection of her nature; May, herself, re¬ 
turned it fully, and for more than two years had 
been the light and joy of their little household. 
It was at a party, given for her on her twentieth 
birthday, that Lisle Hartley had made her ac¬ 
quaintance, and that acquaintance had been fol¬ 
lowed by so warm a friendship that he was already 
considered, by outsiders, as May Clinton’s lover. 
What May herself thought will be seen before long. 
May wa6 young in years, but the whole strength 
of an ardent, passionate nature was, in all its in¬ 
tensity, guarded by a simple love for truth and a 
hearty appreciation for it, that fuw could recognize 
without admiration, and which had been her chief 
attraction in Lisle Hartley’s eyes. She was usu¬ 
ally patient and womanly under all trials, so that 
when she came into the library that night and, as 
the gTeat hall door swung to, threw herself down 
with childish abandon at her aunt’s feet and burst 
into tears, Mrs. Guernsey was for a moment kept 
silent from utter surprise, but she moved her hand 
caressingly over the sunny curls that rested on her 
knee. 
“Tell me,’.M ay, my darling, what it is that wins 
such bitter tears from your bright eyes ? Has Lisle 
said anything to wound you ?” 
“ Oh, Auntie Kate,” she said, “ it isn’t so much 
what he said , but I thought his was a soul of truth 
and honor, and now, when the scales have fallen 
from my eyes, to know him as he is, is grief enough 
—almost more than 1 can bear.” 
“ But May, have you not been mistaken ? Upon 
what have you based your judgment?” 
“1 do not believe—I know I am not mistaken.” 
“Well, child, do not risk your happiness on a 
peradventnre.” 
“ I will tell you all, auntie,” and she wiped away 
her tears, and sat up with a look of courage on her 
sorrowful face. 
“ Only the last night Lisle was here we were 
both speaking of the evil of drinking wines and 
other intoxicating beverages, and Lisle said, very 
earnestly,—more earnestly than 1 ever knew him 
to speak before, on any subject,—‘ Well, I have my 
own sins and shortcomings for which to answer, 
but 1 have not touched a drop of any liquor for 
more than seven years, and Gob helping me will not 
again as long as I live.’ I rejoiced at what he said, 
for it just met and answered my hopes for him.” 
May paused a moment, and then went on more 
slowly. “The worst is to come, dearest auntie; 
la6t night, when Cousin Nenie and I were coming 
home from old Mrs. Boylan’s, we met Lisle at 
the corner of B-street, too intoxicated to walk 
straight, or even to know us ; when 1 half stopped 
and said * O, Lisle,’ he laughed in my face and 
went on without a look of recognition.” 
“ Are you sure yon were not mistaken, dear ? It 
was almost dark when you reached home; may yon 
not have mistaken some one else for him ?” 
Mat opened her eyes a little wider, as if surprised 
that any one could imagine she would not know 
Lisle Hartley, even in the dark, and said, “ No, 
indeed; I was only too sure, and Nenie will tell 
you the same,” 
“ Well, darling, do not blame him yet; we do not 
know what his temptation has been.” 
“1 could have forgiven him the folly, dear auntie, 
for I know that 1 need forgiveness very often; but 
when he came in to-night, looking as it he had beet 
through a long illness, and I spoke of it as gently as 
I could, he denied it outright, even going so far as 
to say he had not left his rooms all day yesterday, 
nor. indeed, until noon to-day.” 
Mrs. Guernsey looked surprised and pained, for 
nothing conld have seemed more improbable to her 
than that Lisle Hartley could be so different from 
the man she had believed him to be. 
May looked up to her face as if to read there con¬ 
firmation of her own decision, and then her lids 
dropped softly over the blue eyes, as she continued: 
, “ Bo, auntie, I walked out of the room without even 
a farewell, which would be more bitter for me to 
utter, no doubt, than for him to hear.” 
There were few more words said, but they sat to¬ 
gether a long time, silently, until the little French 
clock on the mantel struck eleven, and then May 
Month after month passed away, and Mat’s face 
grew paler and her step slower, until at length her 
friends declared her ill, and, in spite of her plea to 
be left quietly at home, carried her with them to 
the White Mountains to 6pend the Bummer months. 
There, after a few weeks of walking and riding, she 
gained some of her roses again in the mountain air, 
and must have been very lovely even in her grief; 
for the gentlemen voted her t he Queen of the Roses, 
and the women bad no word of criticism or disap¬ 
proval—though this might have been owing partly 
to the fact that May did nothing to provoke it, for 
she seldom graced their evening sociables, and when 
present was shy of all new acquaintances. She loved 
best to 6it, in one of the broad window seats, over¬ 
looking the winding road that led down the moun¬ 
tain. There 6he would sit for hours, her hands fold¬ 
ed idly in her lap, looking out, half-dreamily, on the 
trees which wen.- just doDning their crimson and 
gold attire for the autumn carnival; for it was al¬ 
ready drawing near to the laBt days of September, 
and tbe Year was decking herself in all her moun¬ 
tain Bplendors. 
Among the most pleasant acquaintances which 
May had made while there was Col. Duganne, a 
gentleman in every sense of the word; kind and 
conrteons to all with whom he came in contact, 
warm in bis avowed friendships, and energetic in all 
his purposes. He had sought out Mar Clinton 
evening after evening, in her secluded window-seat, 
talked to her of other views and bits of landscape 
in far-off countries, and comparing them in eloquent 
words with that before them. He had spoken to 
her of life, too, in its many phases, social and dis¬ 
tinctive; of pleasures hidden from tbe knowledge 
of the busy crowd, and of griefs too bitter for peru¬ 
sal, but which were, still, as availing as the quaffs 
from joy’s brimming goblet, in moulding the life 
and character of the earnest man or woman. So be 
had spoken, and, in all these many interviews, had 
•been watching May with eager eyes, quick to note 
her share In the hidden griefs ot the world, and just, 
as eager to do what he might to make life a sunny 
and bright page for her to read. 
And May —had listened. Listened and learned 
to admire the nobleness of mind and trutnfui utter¬ 
ance of tbe man, but with no thought of him as a 
lover. No! her pure heart was too fall of an earlier 
love to yield to any new claim, and it was with as 
much surprise as regret that she listened to tbe 
words of passionate pleading, spoken one evening, 
as they were resting alter a long stroll over the 
mountain. The rest of their party were far behind, 
and long before they had reached them, May had, 
in her own gentle yet decisive manner, answered 
his question by telling her own story; and he had 
borne it as only a noble nature conld, striving in 
his unselfishness to speak some word of comfort to 
the fair woman whom he felt he loved at that mo¬ 
ment better than ever. 
Others about them saw no change in their rela¬ 
tions : there was, in fact, only an added gentleness 
and deference on the part of Col. Duganne, and a 
shy anxiety on May’s part to save him all the little 
troubles he took upon himself to render her share, in 
the jaunts their party made, as pleasant as possible. 
This was all that May, herself, knew; but speed¬ 
ing over the water, hastened by the willing winds 
and waves, went a long missive from Col. Duganne 
to his friend and whilom class-mate, Lisle Hart¬ 
ley ; a letter which he had long ago determined to 
write on his own account, and which he felt now a 
sober joy in doing, as he had learned, from some 
chance gossip of one or two of the party, that it was 
his friend who had been May Clinton’s lover. But 
no glimmer of all this came to May's knowledge. 
She went hack to the busy city again, with her 
friends, took up once more her round of womanly 
duties, and strove—not to jorgtl her old lover, but 
to make his dear memory the incentive to more use¬ 
ful deeds of charity and loving kindness. 
Meanwhile the letter reached its destination, and 
the next steamer brought Lisle Hartley home¬ 
wards. Penitent for his own pride, remorseful for 
the pain he had left May to sutler, yet stronger 
than ever in his love and fidelity, Lisle had return¬ 
ed, and rang the bell at Mr. Guernsey’s one even¬ 
ing, two months after their return from the moun¬ 
tains. What was said and done at that interview, 
I shall not stop to tell; only, it was more than half 
past eleven ere May’s light was out that night, and 
the happiest of dreams, I am sure, visited her pillow.
