SUNRISE. 
SOrHIA C. GARRETT. 
Summer morn comes peeping, 
O’er the distant hills, 
Fleecy mists are creeping 
From the sparkling rills. 
Gemmed with dew, each blossom 
□listens bright and fair. 
And with richest fragrance 
Fills the balmy air. 
Beautiful the dawning, 
Sweet the song of birds, 
Full of tender meaning 
If revealed In words, 
Seemingly they warblo 
Unto me and you, 
"Ever do each duty 
And be kind and true,” 
-- 
DAISY’S YEAR IN SOUTHERN CALI¬ 
FORNIA. 
ALICE P. ADAMS. 
Last Days. 
A letter from Illinois had come sum¬ 
moning Daisy home. Her elder sister was to 
be married to an Englishman; and it was the 
desire of all to have the family circle com¬ 
plete before the departure of the newly wed¬ 
ded pair, who would make their home in 
England. 
“ Mary is so foolish,” declared Daisy, in 
whose nature there was not a trace of senti¬ 
mentalism, “ If she had to get married, I 
should think she might have taken some one 
who lived in California, and then, very likely, 
father would have moved here. But no; she 
must fall in love with that stupid Englishman, 
and go and live in a country where the sun 
never shines.” 
“And the fog is so thick you can cut it 
with a kuife,” chimed in Violet, 
But spite of her disapproval of her sister’s 
choice, Daisy was obliged to make her prepar¬ 
ations for returning home: the most import¬ 
ant part of which was to collect and securely 
pack the curiosities she had picked up during 
her stay. The collection was as heterogeneous 
as the contents of a small boy’s pocket. There 
was a tarantula that she nearly stepped on 
one day, as it was crawling leisurely along 
the road; but now it was shut up in a glass 
jar of alcohol in company with a scorpion 
and a centipede. Then she had the rattles of 
a snake killed by the courageous Bertram on 
one of their camping expeditious. Also, 
pampas plumes, mosses and shells from the 
beach, ferns from the canyons, cones of the 
sugar pine eighteen inches long, wonderful 
Chinese confections and trinkets given her by 
Chung, and, lastly, two tiny horned toads 
“ for a bridal present,” suggested by Violet. 
Mrs. Erman sent canned guavas, apricots, und 
nectarines to Daisy's mother, and seeds and 
cuttings of her choicest plants, for both ladies 
were enthusiastic llower lovers. Mr. Erman 
sent boxes of his best oranges and lemons, and 
a tiny orange tree bearing seven handsome 
oranges, and a profusion of fragrant flowers 
and buds. 
When this tree was safely bestowed in its 
box Mr. Erman said, “There Daisy, this is 
much better than trying to take orange blos¬ 
soms, which would wilt in a day. If this 
goes through safely your folks can see just 
how the orange trees grow. Only you must 
remember aud tell them that this little “ tot ” 
came from the nursery, and my orchard trees 
are slightly larger.” 
As far as possible all things were in readi¬ 
ness the morning before Daisy started, and 
after dinuer Violet said, “ Come, let’s have 
one more good ride before you go back to 
civilization.” For Daisy had become quite an 
adept in riding, and was ou the most iutimate 
terms with Jim, Bertram’s bay pony. She 
learned to saddle the horse and fasten the 
broad cinaha without assistance, and enjoyed 
nothing better than a gallop across the plains 
in company with Violet on her pretty sorrel, 
Fly. Many a race they had together, in 
which Violet, thanks to her nimble steed, 
usually came out ahead; for Fly’s name did 
not belie her. But Daisy was well satisfied 
with Master Jim. “ Oh Jimmy,” she said as 
they started, “ I wish I could take you back 
with me. How the people would stare to see 
you run through the streets! But I suppose I 
would have to go on a demure little canter, 
how lazy you would getl ” 
“No, no, you mustn’t think of taking Jim 
away. The better plan is to come back to 
him. Where shall we go?” 
“ Oh, I don’t care. Anywhere for a good 
long ride, so that we go through the canyon 
before we come home.” 
So they galloped along the roads skirted by 
gre3n beauty till they reached one of the old¬ 
est orange groves ill the State. The winding 
road leading through it presented a strong 
contrast to the one they had left, for it was 
too early for much new growth on trees, and 
the foliage was dark and gloomy, and so 
dense that few sunbeams found their way 
through. They came out into the balmy 
March sunshine again as they climbed the 
hill leading to San Marino, a handsome private 
residence with tasteful grounds, commanding 
one of the finest views of the San Gabriel 
Valley. Daisy had eu joyed it scores of times, 
but they stopped the horses, and she turned to 
drink it in once more. Behind, and at her 
left, were the mountains, many of them snow- 
crowned. Below, the dark orange groves, 
and broad vineyards budding into delicate 
Spring loveliness. Beyond, the velvety greeu 
plains dotted with gay colored flowers. Still 
farther were the foot-hills, clothed with the 
same soft verdure; and through an abrupt 
gap one could see the Pacific ocean. 
On they rode past a tiny lake to El Molino, 
an old mill built by the padres more than a 
hundred years before. It was bought by a 
wealthy lawyer, and converted into a dwell¬ 
ing. The walls of the first story were six feet 
thick, and the upper story about four feet; it 
took a workman twenty days to make an 
opening for a wdndow in the solid masonry. 
A host of retainers were kept on the place, 
and free-hearted hospitality dispensed in ti ue 
Southern style. But a year or so after the 
Ermans moved to San Gabriel the gentleman 
died, and El Molino was sold. Its fountains 
had been destroyed, its vines and shrubbery 
neglected, but there, half hidden by stately 
trees, stood the quaint old structure likely to 
endure for ages. 
Back past the lake they galloped, aud turned 
into Wilson’s Canyon, a delightful bit of 
woodland, with immense live-oaks wreathed 
in wild grape-vines, little bubbling springs, 
and lovely ferns. 
On they rode till they reached the green 
plains again. No lawn can surpass the brilli¬ 
ant green of the California grass, which is, 
strictly speaking, not a grass at all, but an 
herb which bears a tiny pink flower, and 
belongs to the geranium family. The 
Spaniards call it aljilarilla, and the children, 
filaree, How the flowers of all sizes and hues 
crowded each other into the very road-way! 
There were acres and acres fairly ablaze with 
Eschscholtzias, or California poppies, of the 
brightest possible orange, which could be seen 
for miles. 
“Oh you beauties!’’cried Daisy. “I must 
have some 1” 
“You can get plenty nearer home,” said 
Violet. 
“I know. But I want them now,” she re¬ 
plied, as she slipped down from her horse, and 
picking some pink and white bells pinned 
them on her riding habit. Then she twisted 
some blue flowers into Jim’s bridle, saying, 
“ Yes Jimmy, you dear little horse, you shall 
be adorned once more before I go!" Then she 
climbed up again. Fortunately Jim was 
small, but Daisy had performed this feat 
many a time. They rode thi’ough Pasadena 
that she might say “Adiosl" to some young 
girl friends, and so homeward. 
That night Daisy woke from a sound sleep 
to find the w indows rattling, the pitcher clat¬ 
tering in the bowl, and a strange sidewise 
movement of the house. “Violet, are you 
awake?” she cried. “What is the matter?’’ 
“It’s an earthquake. Don’t be afraid; it 
will only last half a minute.” Another and 
another shock, then all was quiet. “There, 
it’s all over.” 
"Oh!” sighed Daisy, “ I felt as if some one 
was shaking me in a big sieve!” 
"Well, they are not half a8 bad as thunder 
storms. Do you suppose all these old Mexi¬ 
can buildings would have lasted so long if our 
earthquakes were very destructive?” 
There were a number of “ last things” to be 
attended to the next morning, and the mo¬ 
ments flew until it was time to goto the train. 
“Dear me!” mourned Daisy as she got into 
the carriage, " in less than a week I shall be 
in land of ice and snow. Of course 1 want to 
see all the folks, but I don’t relish the idea of 
freezing my toes!” 
“ I’m afraid our climate has impaired your 
future usefulness,” laughed Mr. Erman. “ You 
look hearty enough to go to the North pole. 
Not much like the pale faced little girl that 
came here a year ago. I don’t believe your 
mother will own you. ” 
The short drive was not a very cheerful one. 
Daisy gazed wistfully at everything they pass¬ 
ed—even the adobe, huts with the Mexican 
children playing about them. Violet was 
very quiet, and her face was deluged with 
tears. 
“ Oh you darling! ” she i egau as they reach¬ 
ed the station, “ 1 can’t begin to tell you how 
much I shall m : ss you.” I- 
“Here comes the train, and it won’t stop 
but a minute,” interrupted Mr. Erman. “ Bo 
be all ready to step on, Daisy.” 
Tnere was no time for prolonged good-byes, 
but the girls bugged each other convulsively, 
and then Mr. Erman hurried Daisy into u car 
and gave her in charge of a friend. Violet 
went home inconsolable; but after awhile she 
dried her tears and came sorrowfully into the 
dining-room, her mother told her a secret: 
and as she planned to tell Daisy in her first 
letter, and thought how delighted she would 
be to hear it, her face gradually shortened, 
and in sixteen minutes by the clock, actually 
wore a smile I 
fmpUwftttu and pacfoiimy.
