Hero Is the same old Mansion,
With its quaint moss-covered towers,
And the summer ami sunlight sleeting
' On the gleam ol the garden and (lowers.
And the will dove, far the fir-wood,

And the stately silent courtyard
Witli its antique dial-stone.
The swallows have come as of yore, lad,
I'r ui over the sunny sea,
And ; enp of the lily ccliocs
To the hum of the wandering hoc.
The lark, in its silvery treble,
Sings in the deep blue sky,
But the house is not as it was. lad,
In those dear old days gone by.
'T.vas here that her garments rtisteled,
I.ike music amidst the (lowers;
And tier low. sweet rippling laughter
Made rich the rose wreathed bowers.
But now, in its noontide brightness,
The place seems cold and dead,
And it lies like a form of beauty
When the light of the soul lias (led.
All hushed i:> each louelv chaml>cr
That ee! oed to songs of old,
The chairs are now all vacant,
And the hearths are dark and cold.

Mid the balm of the summer air;

A Niaiit Lodger,
? yy. o vx ?
When 1 was in my twelfth year,
pupa and mama made up their minds
to take a pleasure tiip lo the "Far
West." This was something unusualthey
seldom left home. Well, they
went, and my two sisters, two brothers
and myself had a gay lime "housekeeping.'
One day, all except myself and our
, servant girl were invited to a dinner
i party, l-confess I dreaded lo have
them go.
<llvatr>, wo will bring you any
amount of candy.'.
"Now, pet, you know you and Sally
can stay hero j ist as well as not.'
"Don't be a baby, Kitty"?were the
j words directed to inc.
Finally I resignedly bade them "get
out ol my sight.'
Sully and I were good f:i> she ,
told me stories and sang songs till 1
began to think it was <piite a fine I
thing t?> bo left at home.
Tired of staying in the house, I
sauntered down the troit walk, and
o in used myself by indulging in a for- ,
hidden pleasure ?swinging on the
gate.
Looking down the road, I spied a '
man coming along. 1 flew to the
house, ami, satisfied that tie was coming
in, 1 ran to Sally. Seizing her
dress with both hands, I exclaimed:
uOh, Sally! there is a dreadful looking
man coming in.'
Sally ]>ieked up tin* poker and
walked to t.lii! door, while I, imitating j
her example, snatched a stick of wood.
Suddenly Sally cried:
"You luile goose, it is Hill MoCartyl'
Sure enough, it was Sally's beau.
Her mother was very sick, and MeCurty
was sent to bring Sally home
1 immediately.
Hero was a dilemma. Sally didn't
want to leave me, and unless she start- ;
ed homo then, she might not see her
mother alive. It was nearly time for I
the rest of the folks to come home, ho j
1 managed to raise courage enough to j
say I was willing to remain alone.
In a few minutes Sally was off, and I
was left in possession of our great
house, which never seemed so large to
me before. I tried to read, but it was
impossible; all the murder stones I
had ever heard came to my mind.
I remembered that none of our
doors could be locked. 1 'apa, who
had a few strange ideas, declared locks
were a nuisance. I felt that I was
doomed.
I went out to the yard, and, to my
dismay, discovered that the sky was
overcast and a storm near al hand.
I could see the rian coming; faster
and faster it came; it was soon at the
house. Oh, how it did rain!
On each side of our yard was a
brook, pretty and peaceful in pleasant !
weather, but ft veay little rant transformed

As 1 stood at the window I saw first
one bridge, and then the other, swept
oil'. 1 knew now that 1 must stay alone
all night; it would he impossible lor my
brothers and sisters to get home.
Travelers, or, as Sally called them,
"trampeis,' niton stopped at our house
over night, as there was no public)
bousj near. To my horror, 1 now
saw one ol them coming across the
fields. Should 1 hide? No, that was
not thought ol. Without stopping to
knock, the great rough man walked
in.
"Can I stay hero all night?'
I dared not reiusu him, so, as firmly
as 1 could, 1 answered:
"Yes.'
lie seemed surprised at seeing no
one but myself, and questioned me
much. I told him my In other was up
stairs writing; thai we two were
alone. That was the It est thing thai
entered my Ilea 1 to tell him. Such
a villainous countenance that man
had!
His hair was cut close to his head,
leaving his lingo ears in bold relief.
Wicked looking eyes, and a brutal
mouth, completed his general expression
ol ferocity.
iiedlime came, and I directed tld1
man to a room up stairs in the servants'
depai uiient, not the "upstairs"
where 1 had said my brother was.
Now thai there was real danger, I
was calm and reasonable. I fastened
the door that led up stairs willi my
embroidery scissors, which happened
to he in my pocket, so as to guard
against surprise, and hurrie dly collecting
our silverware, carried it to mainma's
room a id hid it the in bed. No
one would have supposed the bed hud
been disturbed.
I was elated at my ingenuity.
1 th<n hunted up what jewels the
girls possessed, and placing them,
with what money I could find in a
box, 1 tied lie in in my pocket. Alter
doing this, 1 stole down stairs and removed
my scissors from the door.
These scissors were counted among
my most valuable treasures. 1 had
had them many years, and had i.o intention
o! losing them now.
1 expected the man would only wait
till he thought I and my fictitious
brother were asleep, and would then
search the house (or valuables, and
finish by killing me.
Only one plan lor escape that I originated
seemed feasible. I determined
to wait till I heard my lodger in the
rooms below, and then wrap myself in
papa's shawl, and jump out ol the
window. I was not kept long in suspense;
tlio peculiar squeak of the sii
ing.rootn door warned me iliat it. was
time to act. Quietly I raised the window,
and just as the steps approached
the stairs, 1 jumped to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a bed ot lilies
dneclly beneath the window, and they
softened my fall.
That there was danger of breaking
my neck I had not thought. I was
determined to escape.
It was as dark as Egypt, the rain
was jKMiring down in torrents, hut thi.->
was nothing in comparison with the
horror within the house.
Hall a mile hack ol our house lived
a friend of papa's?Mr. Vincent. I
resolved to <'o there. I ran along
tr> ?,
stumbling against fences and falling
into ditches, thinking I never know
such a l?ng half mile.
Finally I reached the house, and
managed to tell my story. Several

laved there l>y the storm, and, headed
hy Henry Vincent, a young man o|
some twenty-two years, they prepared
to capture my visitor.
1 was two excited to remain at Mr.
\ inocnTs. I declared I would go
back home. They all tried to persuade
me except Ilenery Vincent, who
said "sin h a little heroine should do as
she pleased." With my hand tightly
clasped in llenery's, we Blurted.
When we came wiihui sight of our
house, we saw a light flitting from
room to room, ami a few words <>l

In stumbling over tny library, I
now and tin ii see a passage in some
old hook which takes my eye. Here
is a scrap, which, it it could in these
turbulent tunes bo "read and pondered,"
might do some good:
" The ruin or prosperity ol a Slate
depends so much upon the administration
of its govern men t that, to he
acquainted with the merits ol a min

dissensions in all parts oI the empire,
and a total loss 01 respect in the eyes
