one hundred and six pounds in May to a hundred 
and twenty-five in October. 
A bewildered admirer once compared me to a rus¬ 
set apple,— a fair, delicate, white and pink blossom 
in Bpring; slowly developing into a round, plump, 
russet • brown in autumn. But, alas for truthful 
comparisons, or compliments! one is as rare as the 
other, and both as difficult of obtaining, now-a-days, 
as silver dollars. The white and pink were all in the 
apple-blossoms; none of either in my face. 1 was a 
brunette, and, as a young lady friend said once, (the 
girls Eee each other’s faces distinctly; there is no 
glamour over their eyes,)—“When Ruts Bratton 
has been walking, or is excited, — anything to give 
her red cheeks, and bring out the clear brunette color 
on her face, she is very pretty. Her features are 
regular enough, and those curls of hers are perfectly 
splendid : but when she is sitting quiet, m church, 
for instance, she looks so sallow it quite spoils 
her. 11 ' “Yes,” assented the girls generally, “that’s 
so;' 1 and, of course, “so” it was. I looked like 
my father, and he was by no means a blonde. I was 
tall like him, too, and my curls were jet black. 
Such a contrast as Lina and I presented would be 
odd enough in any country but America, where, 
among three sisters, one will have black hair, 
another, fair, the third, red; and as marked a differ¬ 
ence will run through features and forms, tempers 
and talents. 
Lina was like our dead mother, save that she had 
darker hair. That pretty, fair mother; I may as 
well describe ber, for I describe Lina at. the same 
who died when I was 
mains, drawing all the flower’s young sweetness 
into itself, imbibing, from rains, and winds, and 
sunny, balmy airs,—from Earth and Heaven,—nour¬ 
ishment for growth, till the ripened fruit is perfect¬ 
ed,—what is it in the golden Autufnn ? A withered 
stalk, useless and contemptible. What are fruits 
to us, in general? A blessing; man's first earthly 
food: a coveted dainty to the sick; a luxury to all. 
So, also. Is love: the sweet, luscious fruit of an un¬ 
selfish heart. 
1 didn’t know this yet. Lina had learned it,—as 
many women learn many things, — by intuition. 
Her life was love; not because she planned and 
purposed .o have it so, but because, like a soaring 
sky-lark full of soDg, her heart must have an outlet.

Like a quiet sea when the wind blows fair,

The green highway to an unknown world — 
Soft whispers passing from shore to shore,

Wandering thus en the path through the com ? 
A short space since, and the dead leaves lay 
Corrupting under the hedgerow gray; 
No hum of insert nor voice of bird 
O’er the desolate field was ever heard; 
Only at eve the pallid snow 
Blushed roee-red in the bright sun-glow; 
Till one blest mom 
Shot up into life the young green com, 
Small and feeble, slender and pale, 
It bent its bead to the winter gale, 
Harkened the wren’s soft note of cheer, 
Scarcely believing spring wae near; 
Saw chestnuts bud out. and champions blow, 
And daisies mimic the vanished snow.

“ v ery well,” said I; “ we’ll be sure of a splen¬ 
did dinner, at least. I say, Ltna, if Mast Rey¬ 
nolds did sell herself, she got a big price.” 
41 Yee,” assented Lina, "she did-, but, 1 am some¬ 
times sadly afraid she would give it all, and a thou¬ 
sand times as much, to be simple Mary Reynolds 
again-” 
“ I have no doubt she would,” I rejoined. “ Of 
course she would, since Harry Andrews’ letter 
came.” 
“ Unless”—continued Lina, in a sad, absent tone 
of voice—“ unies6 she loves fortune and position 
more than affection and trnth, and I hardly think 
that of Mary yet.” 
“Did you notice,” said I, "last Sunday, that, 
the minnte she saw yon at the car window, she 
slunk behind the old man, and seemed ashamed to 
be seen at his side ?” 
“ I thought she did," said Lina. She still spoke 
in an absent way, a& she loosened her hair. 
A half-hour afterwards, I spoke suddenly, from 
under the bed-clothes,—my voice muffled up,—“I 
say, Lina, did Tom Andrews go on to Idaho with 
Harry ?" 
CHAPTER II. 
Lina came into our room, that evening, about 
half-past nine, and found me quietly reposing in an 
easy chair. A book was in my hand, and a light on 
the table beside me; but, overcome by the heat, I 
had lapsed into gentle slumber. 
“ Kura, are yon asleep ?" she said. “ Wake upr 
I have news for you.” 
“ Yes,” said 1; “ la it time to get up ?” 
"It’s almost time to go to bed;” she rejoined, 
laughing. "But listen: I have been reading CouBin 
Dora’s letter to father. She is coming to see us.” 
“Indeed?” I exclaimed, quite wide awake now; 
“ 1 thought &he never would come so far out of the 
world as this.” = Vs 
1 Yes; but, poor child ! she wishes she could get 
still a little (itrther out of the world. The young 
man she was engaged to is dead.” 
Lina looked grave, and pitying 
“ And is coming home with him ?” 
“ I think he is.” 
I said no more, hut sunk to slumber, 
continued. 
time. That young mother, 
three years old, and whom 1 remember as one re¬ 
calls a pleasing, impressive dream! W'as it reality, 
or imagination ? —those little sun-sketches of my 
babyhood —of lying on her breast; being cradled 
in her arms; sitting on her knee, While she twined 
my curlB round her white fingers; of pinching her 
cheeks to make them red, while she laughed and 
kissed me with such fondness ? Wa6 it she, or 
Lina ? Was it mother or si6ter ? Which was which ? 
For they were so wonderfully alike, so strangely in- 
Love, the fondest 
been the very 
and 1 have no 
doubt, reader, that yon will think me most heart¬ 
less and nnsympathizing, when 1 tell you that I put 
my two hands to my face, and laughed one of the 
merriest peals that ever was heard; but 1 could no 
more have helped it than I could have resisted 
sneezing under the influence of a sensational pinch 
of snuff. Lina shook her head at me, but she, too, 
smiled; it was impossible not to. If only you bad 
read, reader, as we had been reading for the last four 
years, tbe prim little epistles, always inscribed on 
gilt-edged, satin paper, in blue ink, of this, our New 
York cousin, — especially those of the last nine 
months, in the first of which, precisely according 
to rule and order, she had told us of her engage¬ 
ment to a young man, " a most estimable young 
man, who loves me very dearly, and whom I love 
very dearly, and who is studying for the ministry,” 
—you might, now, at this emergency, have bitten 
your lips, drawn down your face, and endeavored to 
look grave and proper. Rut it would have been use¬ 
less : the whimsical phase or the affair would have 
upsehfou. 
For 1 have not told yon all yet, nor even described 
our cousin, in other letters following the first, there 
was a most minute delineation of Lysander, _bis 
features, his hair, his whiskers; his height, general 
appearance and style of dress; his peculiar tastes; 
his intellect, manners and morals; above all, his 
“refined gentility ”—these two words always under¬ 
lined. The whimsical gist of this was, that neither 
Lina nor 1, from all this elaborate etching, could 
form any consistent conception of this " braw 
wooer;” and Fancy, thus left to her own devices, 
sketched away at her leisure. Of course, we always 
expected that, some time or other, we 6hould see 
him in the ti- t^ mjieed,-Cousin Dora had an oid 
and oft-repeated invitation to make her wedding 
tour terminate at .Pittsburg. But now,—poor 
Dora ! poor, Lck-a-Hai&ie.d, sentimental Dora ! 
love and marriage were dead and gone for her. 
“4‘ ’east, f-jj t.vpresent;” said 1 to Lina, as we 
read the letter: 1 
“Lina, now, seriously speaking, and without 
making the least fun of her, don’t you know that 
she’s so shallow no deep feelings can have posses¬ 
sion of her very long; they’ll vanish like moon¬ 
light on the water.” 
"But, Rcth, however that may he, she is, just 
now at least, in bitter suffering. We must pity her 
as long as it does last.” 
We both smiled. 
" How long will that be, Lina Y Do you really 
think she can safely transport it ail the way here ?” 
"I am afraid, 1 said Lina, “that coming here 
among strangers, and where everything will he so 
new to her, will deepen—would deepen any sor¬ 
row. You know what homesickness and loneliness 
we felt in New York.” We had been East once,— 
father and we,—about four years before. 
" Yes,” I assented, "we did feel rather forlorn;

LINA AND I. 
termingled 
and dearest,had ever surrounded me 
atmosphere 1 breathed. As the mothers love ebbed 
and the mighty ocean drew it into its osom, the sis¬ 
ter’s love rose, higher and higher, in circling, ca¬ 
ressing waves, and I, playing on the shining sande, 
never noted the turn of the tide. 
Our mother was a little woman, — only four feet 
high. Lina, eleven years old at her death, was then 
nearly as tall as she. Both had the same pearly 
white skin, which the sun never seemed to Lave any 
effect upon; the same faint tinge of color iD the 
cheeks, deepening, under excitement, into the hue 
of a blush rose; tbe same blue eyes, low, broad fore¬ 
head, and dimpled mouth. A printed portrait of 
mother, perfectly sketched and rno&t exquisitely 
finished, was, feature by feature, Lina’s likeness. 
I was now eighteen, Lina twenty-six. Her bine 
eyes had, for the last eight years, been covered, but 
not at all concealed, by spectacles: her eyes had be¬ 
come so weak she was obliged, to wear them. Ah, 
my darling sister, so beloved, now, when I know 
your true value, so honored, almost revered,— Ehall 
1 tfell what dimmed the light of those dear eyes ? 
For myself I can only plead,— that, in as far as 1 
wronged you, I did it innocently, unconsciously. A 
few years before this, we had been much poorer 
than we were dow. It, was a hard struggle for lather 
to keep any foothold in the midst of terrible com¬ 
mercial disasters both before, and during, the crush 
of lb57 and 1858; it was a hand-to-hand battle—a 
daily fight, with bankruptcy and poverty. No one 
could give him help or hope. The firms of yester¬ 
day, and those of a quarter of a century, were up- 
heaved by the same earth.iuake and fell into one 
abyss. On the very edge of that fearful chasm was 
father’s house. It was then that Lina, without his 
knowledge, during several years, took in needle¬ 
work, 
CHAPTER I. 
I brought & letter from the post-office to Lina. 
She sat with her sewing, on the front porch: the 
cool breezes of five o’clock in the evening played 
round her; she wore a white muslin with delicate 
pink blossoms; two or three moss pinks, still moist 
and fresh, were in her hair, which was combed back 
and confined in close braids; the work in her hands 
was of light fabric; and, altogether, she looked de¬ 
lightfully cool in that warm June evening; while I, 
who had been toiling up the long, winding path 
leading to onr “homestead on the hillside”— a 
little Paradise, when you got to it, reader; but, like 
other Paradises, and Houses Beautiful, situated on 
the top of a Hill Difficulty—I was hot, out of breath, 
and decidedly uncomfortable. 
Lina, before she read her letter, took my hat and 
parasol, and brought out a basin of cold water, a 
towel, and hair brush. 
“Thank you,” I said, “I feel very much like 
being cross, but I cannot at you.” 
"What wonder,” she replied; "it’s very, very 
warm, and all your mass of curls, too. Wait a mo¬ 
ment, and I will make you more comfortable. She 
ran up stairs and brought down Ihe silk net. 
"There, brush your hair and pnt it all back in that; 
bathe your face and neck, and yon will feel iike a 
new creature. Then we’ll have tea, for father has 
been here some ten or fifteen minutes.” 
“ Meantime,” said I, “ you read your letter.” 
“ O, it will keep till after tea,” laughed Lina ; “ it’s 
. from Cousin Dora, you know,” 
" Yes,” I said, joining in her laugh, “I could tell 
it all to you beforehand; — ‘Dear Cousin Caroline, 
I received}your letter ’ — at such a time — naming 
the precise day — 1 and was happy to hear that you 
were all well, as we are at this present writing, ex¬ 
cept poor’ —ma, or Arthur, or Libby— ‘who has’ 
— some dainty little disease, or other. ‘The heat 
has almost prostrated me, 1 am always so delicate, 
youlknow, in the summer lime, but—”’ 
“But here js father,” interrurrupted Lina. She 
never joined me In mimicking others; neither did 
she ever reprove me. She seemed to think it might, 
in some way, he wrong for her, but all right for me; 
that Conscience—like her and father—esteemed me 
a petted and privileged favorite. 
1 turned towards father, as he came round the 
orchard, ran down the three steps of the porch, and 
gave him a kiss. 
“Did you come home in the steam car, father?” 
“ YYjs, dear; I hadn’t time to spend an hour in the 
horse car.” 
"No, I suppose not; hut I wa6 in no hurry, you 
know; so I came in it. It is so much cooler; and

common sewing, stitching, embroidery — 
whatever she could get to do,— and sat bent over it 
day after day, day after day, till the light in her 
beautiful eyes wae prematurely dimmed. And all 
for love of me! — that my every wish should be grat¬ 
ified. that not a pretty dress, a new book, or even a 
coveted plaything, should he denied me; that I 
should never know, or dream, what poverty meant. 
As Lina's eyes clouded, father’s prospects bright¬ 
ened, till now he was a rich man. I knew some¬ 
thing then, reader, of what those spectacles signified, 
but not much. Lina had sewed too much, because 
father was poor and 1 was small : very well. It was 
l noble in her: Lina was always self-denying and 
good. Still, in my youthful egotism, 1 thought 
that if I had been in the same position I should have 
done the same. 1 wouldn’t iike to wear glasses — 
but then I should have sewed all the same; I knew 
I should. And, after all, glasses were not unbecom¬ 
ing to Lina. She looked dignified and pretty in tnem. 
1 was not an especially selfish girl. With every 
wish gratified, and being the pet and darling of the 
household—possessing enough beauty to attract ad¬ 
miration, and a spicy, ready wit, which, when 1 
chose to use it, always called a laughing circle 
round me, I had much temptation to be proud. 
And 1 vm proud, but not vain or conceited. 1 had 
too much sense for that; and Lina’s influence here 
was also very powerful.

Till tears of angnisb down his cheeks did roll. 
His clothing rare, no kind of cloth composed, 
No skins of beasts did e'er his frame enclose. 
Although he never did one sin commit, 
Yet in Christ’s kingdom he shafi never sit. 
When the last trumpet thro’ the earth shall sound. 
He still shall sleep within the burning ground.

“ Ah, there it is, Ruth if she gave him ail her 
heart,— be it shallow, as you say, or deep as the 
ocean,—it is stirred to its depths now. And as it’s 
all the heart she has,” continued Lina, smiling, 
she cannot know any happiness while it is filled 
with sorrow. Who was it said that half our griefs 
are imaginary? but they are no less griefs—to us.” 
“Yon are partly right, at least;” I said, laugh¬ 
ing; “ and 1 have heard of a tempest in a teapot. I 
do hope the poor porcelain vessel won’t he cracked 
or broken. But I will be very tender with her, 
Lina. I see what you want: you are afraid of my 
tongue—that ‘ unruly member. 3 ” 
" Not much,” said Lina, bending to kiss me for 
good-night; "1 only feared we might, unthink¬ 
ingly, wound a troubled heart. But, Ruth, she 
will be here some time next week, and we mu6t 
have her room airanged in beautiful order. We 
will have father get the new French bedstead and 
washftand we have been talking about so long, and 
some pretty gilt vases ; we will put this engraving 
of Raphael (it was a large Madonna dlSaS Sisto) 
in there, —it’s the most beautiful picture In-the 
house; and let ‘Maud Miller’ pay us a visit: 
she’s been in that room long enough.” 
“ Yes,” I assented; " and let us get a new stand- 
cover—black and green. You finish that pretty 
tidy; and O, Lina ! buy that lovely little willow 
rocking-chair we saw in Allegheny, Saturday; it 
will be so appropriate, don’t you see? instead of 
sitting under the willow, she can sit la it,— a much 
more comfortable seat, with no danger of getting 
cold in one’s head.” 
"We will buy it,” said Lina, “and then that 
room will need no more furniture for several 
years.” Lina, by the way, was quite economical: 
a more thrifty little housewife there was not in the 
two cities. 
" We will go to town to-morrow, then,” she 
added, “ to see about various things, and will dine
