Our mothers were olii playmates and 1 first cousins. My first recollection of my- i self is of a hoy in n red frock and morocco shoes, rocking a cradle in which reposed a i sunny-haired, blue-eyed baby nol quite a year old. That boy was myself, Ilanvj Church, that blue eyed bahy was Mary j Moore. Later still, T see myself nl the lit tie school | i i I-..i i . .i i nouse, drawing my nine cimisa up 10 imp door, that M <rv might ride home. Many a boating have I gained 011 such an occasion, for oilier boys besides myself liked her, and ' she, I fear, was something of a lliit, even 1 in her pinafores. How elegantly she canv tripping down the steps, when I called her name, llow sweetly her blue eyes looked up at me. llow gayly rang out her merry laugh. That fairy laugh ! No one hut Mary could bring her heart so soon to her I lips. I lingered beneath the tones of that I laugh from my days of childhood till I grew j art asvkwnrd, blushing youth?I followed it I through the heated noon of manhood?and j now, when the frosts of age are silvering my I hair, and in my children climb my knee and c.tll me father, 1 find that the memories of youth are strong, and ihnt even in gray hairs j I am following its music still. When 1 was fifteen, the first great sorrow 1 of my life, came upon my heart. 1 was sent I to school, and was obliged to part with Mary. Wo were not to see each other for three lonj* years. This, to me was like a sentence of death, for Mary was like life itself to me. !>..? lv l ~ I 1. .1 .. f. ... . 1!

I had grown inlo a tall slender stripling, with a good opinion of myself, both in general and particular. If I thought of Mary Moore, it was to iniag ine how I would dazzle and bewilder her j with my good looks and wonderful attain- I ments, never thinking that she might dazzle and bewilder me, s'ill more. [ was a cox- | com!), but as youth nnd good looks have lied, T trust I may be believed when I say I that self conceit has le(i me. An advantageous proposal was made lo ; me at the timo, and accepting it I gave up i all idea of a profession, and I prepared to go to tho Indies. In my hunied visit home of two days I saw nothing 1/ Mary Moore. She was gone lo a hoarding school at some distance, and was not expected ho-ne until . 1. _ r 11 ; \f._ t .. 1 1 . 1 idu umowuig i uncrea one sign 10 ; tlie memory of my little blue-cyvd playmate, anil tboil called myself "a man again." " In a year," 1 thought, as the vcbicle whilcd away from out- door, " in n vear, or three years at most, I will return, and if' j Mary is as pretty as she used to he, why, i then, perhaps 1 may marry her."

I packed up many a token from the land ' ( of romance and gold, for the friends I hoped I to inset. The gift for Mary Moore I select- ' j cd with rt benting heart ; it was a ring of j rough, virgin gold, with my name and hers , j engraved on the inside?that was all, and ' ] yet the sight of that little toy t-trangely i ( thrilled mo as I placed it upon the lip of 1 my finger.

I hoped my sister Lizzie would come <o the door, ami that I might greet the family when no stranger eye was looking curiously on. Hut no?a servant answered my summons. They were too merry in tho parlor to heed the long absent one' when lie asked for admittance. A bitter thought like this was passing through my mi fid, ?s I lieaid tlir ' nounds from the parlor, and saw tjie half I hesitated for a moment before I mndo myself known or risked utter the family.? And while i stood silent, a strange apparilion grew up In-fore mo. From behind tho servant peeped out n small golden bend, ft , tiny, delioale form followed, and a sweet, childish face, with blue eyes, was lifted op to mine?so like those of one who had brightened my boyhood, that I started back w ith a sudden feeling of pain. " What is your name, my litilo one," I asked, while the wondering servant held the door. She lifted up her hand as if lo shade her eyes, (I had seen that attitude in another in my boyhood, many and many a time,) and nnswcred in a sweet bird lik? voice : " Marv Moore." " And what else," I asked quickly. " Mary Mooro Chester." lisped (ho child. My heart snrtk down like lead. Here was an end to all bright dreams nnd hopes of inv youth and manhood. Frank Chester, my boyish rival, who had often tried, nnd [l ied in vain, to usurp tr.y plac?*, beside I he girl, had succeeded at last, and had won her away from me.

Tlio little one gazed at me nfiioved and amazed, and put upljer pretty lips as if about to c.rv, while the perplexed servant stepped to the parlor door and called my sister out, to see who it could be that conducted himself so strangely. ' Did you wish to see my father, sir." " 1 looked tip. There stood a pretty, sweet faced maiden of twenty, UM much changed from the dear little sister I had loved so well. I looked at her for a moment, and then, stilling the tumult of my heart by a mighty etfort, I opened my arms and said : " Lizzio. don't vou know me." "Harry, Oh, my brother Harry," slio cried and throw her arnris around my neck. She wept as if her heart would break. I could not weo|>. I drew her gently into (lie lighted parlor, and stood with her before them all. There was a rush and a cry of jov, and then my father and mother sprang towards mo, and welcomed me homo with heartfelt tears. Oh, strange and passing is such a greeting to the wav-worn wanderer. Ami as I hold mv dear old mother to my heart, and grasped my father's hand while Lizzie still clung by mo, f felt that all was not yet lost, and though another had secured life's choicest blessing, many a joy remained for me in this dear sanctuary of home. There were four other inmates of the room who had risen on my sudden entrance. Otfe was the blue eyed child whom 1 had already seen, and who now stood behind Fl ank Chester, rliiininnr to his linnd. N'wnr I by stood I/izzic Moore, Maiy's eldest sister, | and in a distant corner, to which she hud hurriedly retreated when my tiatno was spoken, siood a tall and slender figure half hidden by tho heavy window curtains that fell to the floor. When the first rapturous greeting was nver, Lizzie led mo forward with a timid grace, and Frank Chester grasped my hand. " Welcome home, my boy," said lie with i? loud, cheerful tone I renumber so well. You have changed so *1 would never have known you ; but no matter for that, your heart is in the right place, 1 know." " How can you say he is changed, said my mother, gently. "To bo sure, ho looks jlder and graver, and more like a man than when lie went away?but Lis eyes and smile ire the same as ever. It is the heavy Seurd that changes him. Ho is my boy, still. " Ayo, mother,'' 1 answered sadly, "I nm your boy still." Heaven heln mo!

Liut 1 kept lowu I he boating of my heart and the ti e inor of my lip, and answered quietly, as I looked in his full, handsome face. " re.*; yon have changed, too, Frank, but 1 think for the bettor." "Oh, yes?thank you for the compMuiert," lie answered with n hearty laugh. ' My wifo tells me I grow handsomer every tiny." His wifo!?could I hear that name and keep silence still. I " And have you seen my littlo girl," ho Glided lifting t lie in (ant in his arm??, and kissing her crimson cheek. 411 tell you, Harry, there is not another such in the world. Don't you think she looks very much as her mother used." " Very much," I faltered.

A gleam of light and hope utmost two dazzling to boar, and 1 eried i out before I thought: '' Not Mary." It must have betrayed my cor,ret, to cvory one in 111e room. Rut nothing, was said. ' liven Frank, in general, so obtuse, was this j time silent. I kissed llio fair check of tho i young wife, and hurried to the ailont look- j iug figure at tlio window.
