June to-day lias been unbinding All the beauty of her hair; The fragrance of her tresses Floats through all the golden air, And the greenness of her garment Lies about us everywhere. There hast burst a hidden odor From each bud the sun unlocks; There is laid a rosy garland On the brown and rugged rocks; All along the brook's meander : Gleams the purple of the phlox. One would think that, late last evening, .. . ? --I-- 1 11 I Willie tnesKy nung caim una um?, A sudden wind had shaken # All the stars in clusters through, T And bathed the sleeping meadows In a shower of golden dew. d " For the buttercups are floating i, All about you, as you pass ; c Far adown the vale, the cowslips, y Are 0110 lush and golden mass, e And the dandelion blossoms Are like gems among the grass. e t Where the brooks with silver music, Through the vale melodiotjs flow, Where the birds like painted shadows i 'Neath the branches come and go, i, 'Neath the elm tree's swaying greenness s Bloom the lilies like the snow. >? > Here I've sat for full an hour, S Gazing round me, like a child, ? Wlinrn flia KpaaV nnri rivpr miniflp. c With a rapture strange and wild, i Where About the cottage window , High the lilac bloom is piled. ; And a sadness, like the dinness , Coming o'er a twilight sky, t Steals upon me; I remember 3 That the beauty which doth lio ? Like a dream of heaven above me, Like a dream will soon pass by. 1 But a spirit falls upon me, E'en as erst the passing seer 2 Cast the glory of liis mantle i O'er his brother's grief and fear; . And a voice is speaking to ine, 3 Which my soul, alone, may hear. 1 And I sit, as I were dreaming, 2 Till the low, melodious tune * Of the waters to a murmur : Low and liquid seems to swoon; In the spirit of thy beauty Is my soul baptized, O June.' 3 One, or Twenty? 1 "Jack, please enlighten me a . trifle in relation to the name and t position of that exceedingly charm* ing and exquisite specimen of Ludlow's feminine population." When Tom Barry commenced speaking, Jack Oollville wheeled his chair about on the pine floor of Ludlow's most prosperous hotel, ami-commenced looking. "Ah hr?v. its no nsr*!" sawl .Tack. ? ? , with a sad smile. "i?ot a bit of use, Tom. Ski is unapproachable." "I presume she allows her name to be spoken," remarked Tom, following the graceful figure with eyes and thoughts, till his cigar went out "Why, that is Blanche Stanley, tho prettiest, sweetest, neatest, [ smartest, richest, lovingest, and j contraries! girl in Ludlow." "You have studied her closely," e said Tom. "I am number ?crcTt on the list of I her rejected suitors," sadly replied e Jack. i" "Well, you are frank about it. ^ How high do the numbers run at the present time?" 5, 'notice that gentleman in ill the door across the way? lie is >- the nineteenth." g "Nineteen ! There surely should 5 be another, to make the even II score." ?- 'There soon will be,' said Jack, :e with a side-long glace at Tom. e I5ut Tom did not take, lie was very biisy with the past' 'Stanley? Is it ol^ Stanley's j' daughter, that used to live in that d rookery down here at the Four i- Corners?' 'The same, Tom.' l' 'Why, they were poorer than a picked chicken!' l" 'Very true, Tom; but a very large property fell to 131anche about a year ago. They were all. ways tine people.' 'VpQ T I'llAW "Rut wasn't there - a chap named Waring paying sonic attention to Blanche about the time I left here ?' Exactly, Tom. They were engaged.' 'So I thought. Whatever be came of him V 'lie went to California, to dig up a fortune.' 'And she has waited ?' 'Ever since, Tom There's fidelity for you V 'Pshaw! merely romantic. Give ir me an introduction, Jack. I have 3, been away so long, that I'll not y;presume upon former acquainI i. > UUX1UU. 1 Which was not remarkably close, j ic said Jack. )_ 'She was confoundedly poor then, you know. But about the s- introduction, Jack? I want to 3" cure lier of her folly. Wait live l0 years for a man ! You must be a spooney lot of chaps to allow it. rs I'll show you where you've fooled yourselves.' e- *0h, I'll give you an introducld tion, Tom; but you must uot blame p i c~ roc ir you niiu yuuraun jiuiuuu ie twenty/ to 'Nor you blame me if I count as .rJ number one on the other list,' was Toni's confident suggestion, er AVhile they were talking, the subject of their remarks was has* |s tening home with a-letter she had nt just taken from the office. It was re from Will Waring, and it told her that he was getting ready for home, i "I have not prospered so well as I expected,' he wrote ; ^but I hope I shall not be less welcome.' { If he could have seen the look , of love on her face, or . &lt tho touch of her dewy lips as she kissed his name, or heard her trustful, patient whisper of constancy, he would not have doubted. She told no one of this letter, for there were two long months yet before he could possibly arrive; j but she could not hide her joy. Her aunt, who had kindly condescended to live with her, was the ; first to notice her buoyant spirits; but she was sadly at fault about the cause. 'Poor girl, she is learning to forget him at last. For my part, I don't see how she has held out so Jong, with so many good offers. But it may have been ordered all j iUl UIO UUSlj AUL Vimi; i.utu AJULIJ has been very attentive. Those Barry a' are rich, and I do wish that Tom might?but, then, noboby can tell what the girl will do.' That was a very true saying. Nobody could tell. Even Tom himself, after two months of assiduous attention, was no wiser than on the day Jack gave liirn an introduction.. 'Well, Tom, what's the number?', lavghingly asked Jack, at his first meeting with Tom, after a two mouths' absence. "How have you progressed while I've been away ? One, or twenty ?' 'I wish I knew myself,' said Tom, 'Whew! You're -not getting spooney, with the rest of us, 1. hope V 'Far from it,' said Tom, straightening up with dignity. 4I have not given up yet.' 'jS"or won't, probablv, until after :j i v ?*i. tt">..j, r> yuu prupuse^ suru dul jl ve got some news. Will Waring has got home.' lXo! You're joking!' 'Slot a bit ot it. He came in on the train with me last night, though I did not let him know that I recognized him. He's the toughest looking chap I've seen this many a day. Absolutely low. Blauche never will look at him.' 'Good J? exclaimed Tom, slapping Jack ou the back. 'That will count v/te iur juui uuiuuie . suivuui, iuuj Barry. She will see Waring some time to-day, probably, and give bim his walking-papers. I will go down this evening, and make it all right. Jack, just accidently call round there#this evening about nine, and I'll introduce you to Mrs. Tom Barry?that is to be.' 'I almost envy you,' said Jack, turning away. There was a little sore spot yet in his heart, Blanche Stanley aat by tlie wiudow, rcadiug, A man passed on tho walk, and she lifted her eyes r\ *"? % +1 i a Uaa1?? l\tlf /l.?a^*\ail J-! t a m ilUIU IUU VVKJl\) L/Ub U1 UJJJJCU LLIVLU again immediately, fot it was only a stranger. Then she heard the door-be^ ring, and she looked out. Tt Was the same man?a laborer apparently, with coarse, fadecl clotting, a shocking hat, jy^u the dirtiest of thick, heavy boots. 'A to see yon, ma'am,' said tue servant. 'To see me!'exclaimed Blanche. 'Is it the same one who was at the door a moment ago ?' 'Yes, ma'am.' 'lie didn't have any card ?' 'No, ma'am. Sicli as lie cioirt have 'em.' '"Well, you may show him in.' 'Into the kitchen, ma'am ?' 'In here, John.' The servant hesitated, bat a word from Blanche silenced him. Blanche looked up with considerable curiosity when the footman returned with the visitor, but hardly a second elapsed ere she threw 4ierarms around his neck with a glad cry, 'Oh, Willie! have .you come back, at last ?' llis brawny arms encircled her 1 i'.? ?YtAmnnf flilin gracuiui iuiiu iui a inuuivui, he put her away.

I am richer than any man in Ludlow, thanks to your love, which kept up my courage. And now I'll leave jou a little time, while 1 cast off this coarse disguise.' *- * * * * About nine o'clock that evening, Jack Collville happened around by Blanche's home. He was going sottly up the steps, when the door was pulled hastily open, and the ne&ttjbat he knew he was spralling oil4h"e walk, and Tom Barry beudiug.ov.er bini. Tom, what the dickens is the matter with you ? You knocked me down." 'Oh, it's nothing, Jack; only, my number is?twenty!" Ql SPANISH FLIRTATION. ' ?
