THE MUSICAL BOY.
BY JAMES T. FIELD.
It is a ruthless, toothlbss wight
Who dwells beside a wall,
Ard spend. his time in singing songs
As loud as he can bawl,
And casting stones at pa:stigen
Who may ueglect to cal.
The knave deals out inflated corn
And other fluffv things,
Guu balls, and miscellaneous pie
And douglinuts sbaped like iiug-;
The pea-nut branch be also plic,
As all day long he bings.
O urchin rude, ot' maimers ciude,
Of un.nangeche voice,
Pray teli ie true, yoUiir ruflian, do,
11 thus you live from choice,
Or if in your unhallowed way
You really don't rejoice.
Your wares are insalubrious,
Your carols are the sanie,
Your bold career is fraught - ith !ear,
Your traffie one of shame
A dark, mysteriuws. drcaiful trdde
A Leed without a name.
Boy, cease your ha;mf'ul. dreary nutes,
And fliI your goods away;
Go get you to New Zt:land, or
Some cove in Baffin's Bay;
Expenses out (but no return)
Myself will gladly pay.
The rogue looks up with knowing leer,
And birts me not repine,
Then aims a missile at my head.
With phrase that's not divine,
And croaks a still more dismal song
The words, alas! are mine!

'Has May come
'Yes, Bertha. I have stowed
her away safe and sound in the
carriage.'
And Mr. Webb, of Framington
Hall, busied himsell in liftitig va
rious parcels, bags, &c., froi the
old family earriage.
While so engaged he did not.
perceive the anties of his irrepres
sible son, who was capering about
Lh(e road in the vain eidavor to
catch a glimi,,se of his cousin May's
face.
A- last Mr. Webb assisted his
niece to alight, in response to hcr
impatient remark, 'that he was
going to keep her there all day.'
She was a slender, delicate girl
of about eighteen summers, with
a soft, pearly -complexion, and
great laugbing" brown eyes: her
hair fell in ringlets about her
shoulders, and looked like a show
cer of gold as the settinag sun lit up
the darker shadows of her nut
brown hair. She Evas the orphan
niece of Mr. Webb, andh had beet
brough t up enitirely at a fatshiona
ble boarding-school. Un the cotm
leltiont of hert educttationi she came
to her uncle's home in tacc-ordtance
with thle wish of her mother ; but
May did not like the idea of re
siditig in a 'dull, stupid cou ntry
p)lace,' as she described it. .
She was speedily made wieomne
by 1ier aunt anad cousitis, who had
collected at the gzarden gate, all
imtpatientce. to see her.
Mrts. Webb was a gentle, placid
lady, with a kind, motherly man
uer very comforting to the stran
ger'. Her cousin Bertha was a
very pretty~ gil. Her hiait w'as
fasstecned into a careiess ktnot be.
hind that becamie her wonderfully.
Edwin eaEe next. and it did no1
take May many minutes to learn
that he was the must incorrigible
tease she bad ever met, Hie wai
a good-looking fellow, with a tal:
well knit figure.
'Well, May, I suppose your mine
is filled with rapture at thbe though1
of spending your' future days ir
this country place ?' rsaid Edwin
looking, with a teasing smile, al
his cousin,who was leaning agasins1
one of the columns, covered with
ivy,'that supported the verandah
A shadow fell over her tbri~i1
lace as abhe rep'ied warmly
Edwmn laugbed slightly, bhn,
weint on to say, mi toe sameC ltgh
vein:
'I know you would like to be:
farmer's wife. You woujld mak,
a capital one, with those daint2
white hands.'
May said, emphatically, with
pout, -That I will never be! T<
have a great eiumnsy fellow tread
ing oni your train con,staniy
I -onld not. bear it'
'What are you talking about?
exclaimed another voice.
And Bertha came slowly to
wards them, swinging her broac
hat in her hands, for it was an in
tensely warm day in July.
'May was expressing her de
light at the prospect of settling
down as a furmer's wife.'
Bertha looked at them both
and said
Oh, I know you have beer
teaing her already. Really, it i,
too bad. But it is no use to quar
rel with him, for he is incorrigi
b,ie.'
May found that the time passed
very quickly even in the country
and did not regret her towu
home. What with her drives
Poating, walks, croquet parties
&C , her time was so fully occu
pied, that she did not find an op
portunity for grieving.
Shortly after her arrival at the
Hall, she made the acquaintance
of a wealthy young farmer, who
owned a large farm and country
seaL a few miles away.
He was not handsome, but pos
sessed a frank, ingenuous counto
nance that was very attractive.
His manner was a trifle awkward
and constrained ; and May made
him the butt for her constant
ridiule.
Ife bore all this with undimin
ished good humor, and was bei
constant companion. From th(
first be had been her devoted ad
mirer.
It was a pleasant day in Sep
tember, and early in the morninf
young Oakland drove up in hi!
pretty phaeton, and stopped be
Fore Mrs. Webb's door. Hejumpe(
down, and darted through th
flower beds, regardless of tb
damage they sustained, to th4
lai, where he had seen a littli
figure in white muslin vanish. A
last he found her demurely sittin,
on a fallen log, and looking a:
duinty and fresh as a rose.
Mliss May, will you come witl
me and take a ride ?'
'What!-at this hour ? Why
surely not, Ar. Oakland I'
'Never mind the early hour
The roads are so good, and thi
air will revive you. Do come
please!' pleaded he, eagerly.
She looked mischievously a
him saying merrily.
'Why arevousoanxious? G
and find Bertha and take her wit
you. She will be delighted I ar
sure.'
Oakland turned away at last
wounded by her refusa!, and in
moment she was beside him,
rosy flush mantling her cheel
and a gay smile on her red lips.
'I did not think you would d<
sert me so soon,' she began.
He looked at her searchinglj
b ut she bore his scrutiny well
upon which his countenance lostil
gloomy expression, and a happ
smile played over his features.
Hie helped May to a seat besid
Ihim, and they started off at
brisk trot.
They did not return till net
noon, and when they arrivel
Edwin came out to meet them
the gate..
Oakland leaped ont of the ca
riage, and stood by in readinei
to lift her out.
May glanced from one to ti
other, and finally allowed ha
cousin the privilege of helpir
her.
Oakland looked on angrily, a1
drove off without deigning to say
word.
Severs! days later, Oaklar
Icalled at the Ifall, and wvas tak<
into the parlor, where the fami
were assem bled, They all wi
comedi him gladly, for it was
dull, wet dlay, a.nd they did n
erge)et any calle:cs. Bertha sat
the pino talking to Gerald Or
land from time to time, and fina
coaxed him irito giving them
s ~ong. He had a clear.'me!odic
voice, and sang~ with great tast
but he was so 'very shy of his
complishment. -that May did E
know he possei;sed a fine voit
and complimented him so higi
that he begged- 'ber to desist wi
iblushing~face.
Edwin at. last seated hims
beside Gerald Oaklanwd, and, af'
-some desultory corvrbation, sa
'Do you wish to know what my
cousin said about you the other w,
dav ?' an
May turned round at this, and ha
said, quickly and imperatively: tu
-Edwin, do not repeat what I
said to you!' foI
He looked at hf-r with a pro- be
vokirigly innocent face, and went ap
on, heedlessly: W
'Well, she told me privately no
that she would never marry a far
mer, and that you were too awk- pli
ward and simple for her refined
taste.' mi
Gerald glanced at May's down- ha
cast countenance, and asked, af
quietly : no
'Is that true, Miss May ?'
She shot a withering glance at ho
Edwin, and replied 'Yes' in a low ch
tone. Ec
Gerald changed color, rose ab- tu
ruptly, and bade them all good
night. He kept his eyes stu-, th
diously averted from May as.he tic
came to her side; then be went tw
hastily away. wi
After he had gone, May went -
up-stairs to her room, too sad and
mortified to remain with the iam
ily.
Oakland did not come to the A4
Hall for some time after that;
but he treated May with a mark- A:
ed coolness that pained her ex
cessively, although she, true to
her womanly instincts, retained
her gay, coquettish manner still.
The months passed swiftly on,
till, before any one realized it,
winter had come with its keen,
frosty breath.
Then came the liveliest time for
the young people, and May soon
learned to be skillful in skating, St
as she was in waltzing, and al
most every day her slight, grace
ful figure could be seen flitting as
lightly as a bird over the ice.
It was a clear, cold day in Jan
uary, and May accompanied by b
her cousins, set out for Glenwood
Brook, which v as situated about
two miles from their home. They st
had not gone far before they o
were overtaken by Oakland, who
came along whistling, his skates
t3lung over his shoulder. fo
'Ab, Oakland; just the fellow 81
ed I You help May along, and I
will take care of Bertha,' ex- in
t claimed Edwin, who good na
turedly wished to bring the es
stranged couple together. t
Thus addressed Gerald could
Snot do otherwise than offer his
services to May, who accepted
them nonchalantly enough, al
athough her heart was beating C
aloudly at the same time.
The pond was a large one, and
soon .May and Gerald found them
.selves quite separated from the
rest of the party.
She started along fearlessly,d
and was making for the opposite ir
bank, when Gerald called, out anx
.iously.
'Do not go too near that bank,
efor there is a swift current under
aneath, arid the ice is thin.'
May did not pause in her
r course, and sent a clear, silvery
Speal of laughter after her.
'Ab, I am not afraid, and I am
determined on reaching that
rban k.'
The words were barely uttered
when the ice gave an ominous,
ecreaking sound, and in a moment
r she sank under it.
She gave one quick scream, and
then remained silent, holding on 1
dto the ice with fast benumbing fin
a gers,
'Ob, I hope he will soon come !'
she moaned.
dGerald was soon beside her, and,
n bracing- himself against atree, he
vtook her little cold hauds in his,
and, after considerable exertion
a succeeded in drawing her out of
tthe water.
tHe held her half unconscious
-form in his arms, and murmured,
softly:
us 'My darling, what should I have
done had I lost you ?'
c She opened her eyes, wet wi'.h
ttears, and whispered:
e, 'Would you have cared, Gerald ?'
ly 'Cared ? Life would have been
h worthless to me had you gone!
he exclaimed, passionately.
lf Hie was very pale with sup
er pressed emotion, and his eyes
id, shone with such a clear light that
they fairly dazzled her.
At this interesting point they
Dre interrupted by the appear
ce of Edwin Webb, who coult
rdly conceal his laughter at the
rn affairs had taken.
'Well, Cousin May, have yor
rgiven me yet? Had it nol
en for me, you would never
preciated each other so much
hat do you say, Gerald-do you
t owe me many thanks?'
Gerald looked at May, and re
ed :
'Yes, Edwin; I do owe you
iny thanks ; for we should never
ve known the depth of our
eetion for each -other if it had
t been for our quarrel.'
'My advice to you is to get her
me as soon as possible te
ange her wet clothing,' said
win, w-ho was of a practical
rn of mind.
His advice was so good that
ey accepted it without a ques
n, and all started for the Hall,
o hearts filled to overflowing
th happiness.
