Where tall, feathered grasses and butter cups sway; And all through the fields a white sprinkle* of daisies Opcn-eyod at the setting of day. Oh, the heaps of sweet roeee, sweet clone mon roeee. In great crimson thickets that cover the wall! And flocks of bright butterfllee giddy to see them. And a sunny bine sky over all. Trailing boughs of the elms drooping over the hedges, IV here spiders their glimmering laoes have spun; And breezes that bend the light tope of th willows And down through the meadow grass run. Silver-brown little birds sitting cloee in th? branches. And yellow wings flashing from hillock to tree. And wide-wheeling swallows that dip to thi marshes, And bobolinks crazy with glee. So crazy, they soar through the glow of th? sunset And warble their merriest notes as they fly. Nor heed how the moths hover low in the hollows, And the dew gathers soft in the sky. Then a round beaming moon o'er the blossomed hill coming. Making paler the fields and the shadows more deep. And through the wide meadows a murmurous humming Of Insects too happy to sleep. Enchanted I sit on the bank by the willow And trill the last snatch of a rollicking tune. And sinc? all this loveliness eannot be Heaven, 1 know in my heart it is June. ?Mrs. A.

Perkins, the governess, as she maneiured her nails at the marble washbasin. "No. Come here, Perky," said the audacious girl, "and I'll show you the corner of that picturesque old blacksmith's shop I told you of?the one I'm going to sketch this afternoon." "It's past eight, Mis6 Elwood, and you know your grandfather attaches great importance to punctuality," began the governess. "Right there, over the top of those IM?/UMkV<^ A W4 ** J | VVlU|JU8t U 1 V continued Elma, extending her slim forefinger in a due northerly direction along the valley of the river, "you can just see the odd little three-cornered gable peeping out through the trees?" "And 'here's the bell, now," exclaimed Mrs. Perkins, with a little nervous start. "And the smith, a mighty man is he," Hummed Elma. beainninar to tie back her curls with a fillet of blue ribbon. "But not nearly so handsome as that young apprentice of his, who fixed the crooked nail in Swallow's shoe, yesterday. I won der if I could sketch the place' To be sure, I have had only seven lessons, but one must try one's wings sometimes, you know. "J Mrs. Perkins straightened Emma's sash, gave her curTs several twitches this way and that, and dragged her into the break/as t-ioom just in time to avert the usual morning* lecture from old JkUjor Btmnoocl on tue evils of late rising. But that afternooD, iu the purple soft n?ss of twilight, Elma managed to evade her precise guardian, and slip off into the woods with her sketch-book. And she was sitting on a moss-cushioned rock, working with all her might, when Louis Dalzell strode toward the spring for a j>ail of water. The sleeves of his rei flannel blouse were rolled high up on the forearm. He still woie his stained leathern apron, and his short, chestnut curls plainly revealed the nselve3 through the rifts in his tattered straw hat. Had tic but known it, he never had looked bettci in his life, vet a deep flush of mortification rose to his brow as he encountered the pretty twelve year old damsel in white, with the shady, rose garlanded hat, and the soft Roman saah tied loosely around her waist. "Oood afternoon !"said Kmma, calmly. ' Piease step a little to one side, Louis, if that is your name. I'm trying to sketch the smithy." Dalzell ventured to glance over her sboulder. It's beautiful," fluid he. "You can almost see the wind (flowing that sweet hritr bush!" "Yes," complacently observed the ar tist, "I thiuk it is rather good." "And the little dog sitting by the door--it just exactly as natural as life!" he added. Ella frowned. "The little dog, as you call it," said she, "i? the stump of the old tree. Don't stand <pntc ho close, please! I can't move ray elbow." Dalzell colored. He took up his pail and moved on. "I'm always saying the wrong thing," said he, in a sort of desperation. El ma hoped she had not offended the V/tnnr. Ol.. ?

But he did not come back at all. Bvi. dently there wm some other way between the smithy and the little brook. At si* o'clock, according to compact, Mrs. Perkins came for the artist, to es cort her home. "And you've been all this time doin^ ths- btrle hit of work?"' said Mrs. Perkins. "On, 1 haven t worked all the time, I Perky!" impatiently spoke the girl. "Besides, one can't hurry art." As they strolled slowly down the shady road, Elma suddenly stooped and picked up something. "What's that?" said the governess, lifting her crisp tlounccs out of the dust. "A horseshoe?au old, common horseshoe. Put that down at once, Miss Elwood 1" "Wait for a moment, Perky 1" cried the girl, rushing away through the bushes. "I've forgotten something." Half a minute later, she was down in front of the closed smithy, balancing herself on the identical butternnt-wood stump. With a round stone for a hammer, she drove in a rusty nail, and hung the thin old horseshoe over the door. "There's good luck for Louis Dalzell!" she cried, as she sprang lightly backward. "Take care!" said a voice behind her. And then she became aware that Dalzell himself had emerged from the bowery shadow of the trees, and that she had nearly knocked him over. "Is that for me?" he said. "Oh, thanks!" And placing both hands lightly on her shoulders, he kissed her, driven by some sudden impulse for which he himself could scarcely account. Elma Elwood turned scarlet all over; she rubbed her cheeks to efface all vestige of the offense, and stamped her kidshod foot in the sand with futile passion. 11n?_ J... ....Ill A. < I n? **vtt uain juui ouc v>i icvi. iiurr date you?" And like a flying nymph ahe vanished into the dense shadow of the woods, leaving the young man transfixed with surprise. "Why does she make such a fuss?" he asked himself. "She's only a child? hut good fatel what a beautiful child!" He reached up and took down the the thin, old horse shoe and put it in his pockec. lie and the picturesque, longbearded nil blacksmith had quarrelled that day, and he meant to leave Wyndale with the break of the morrow's dawn. "I'll take my luck with me," he said to himself. "God bless the child for thinking of me!" ? * * ?* * * .lust a year afterward old Major Elwood died, leaving his affairs hopelessly entangled; and when the lawyers had rquabbled long enough over thebusiress, it was formally announced that there was nothing left for the child to to live on. "What am I to do, Perky?" said Elma, with big, blue eyes of apprehension and dismay. And good Mrs. Perkins, who had succeeded in obtaining a situation as English teacher in a boarding-school, bargained to forego a part of her own salary for the sake of having Elma's education goon at Watley Hall. "A teacher's life isn't all ro3e.-," said she, "hut 1 can't bear the idea of haviug the poor, little dear bound out to a trade 01 stood up behind a counter.

"But I think we'll make a try for 't T-.l 1 T 1 S-.U A.U - i * f can interest that rich iron man that lives in the castellated mansion out beyond Plaza River, his influence can do everything for us " "Really!" Elma's dimple* danced roguishly. "What a very curious sort of a person an?iron man must be! I'm very curious to see him, Perky, do you know?" "Nonsense, my dear!" cried Mrs. Porkina. "You know what I mean perfectly well. He's made his fortune iu the iron business?railways, and that sort of thing. And I'm going to call there this very afternoon, to bespeak his recommendat'ons and good offices." "Oh, Perky, must 1 go?" "Of course you must go, child!" Elma Elmwood sat trembling in the great entrance hall of the Moresqv e mansion, on the south shore of the Piaz i n: i\iver. The sunshine glimmered on the floor of row sod white marble ; giant myrtles and blossoming lemon trees filled the angles, and a low easy-chair on a tigerskin by the door, was drifted over with newspupers. Presently Mrs. Perkins ?ame smiling back. ' He will be with us presently," said she. -Really, my dear, he's quite a young man?not at all the bald-pated railroad king I expected to see. And he i9 most kind and gracious, and has promised to recommend us everywhere." The door opened and the iron man entered, followed by two or three magnificent hounds. Klma sprang up with a cry. "Why," she exclaimed, "It's Louis ? It's Louis Dalzell I" He held out both his hands. "I can't have changed so very much then?" said he." At the same instant Lima's eyes caught sight of a strange object above the arched doorway?a gold plated horse shoe, worn thin at the ends, witli here and there a bent nail in its curve. Louis'9 glance followed her own. Yob," said he. "it's the very horse shoe. It has done its task, Miss Elwood? it has brought me luck! Miss Perkins." he added, turning to the cider lady, "I shall expect you and your young fricud to remain here as my guests for the present. I have a large house, and I am a lonely man." "Oh!" said Miss Perkins, her ey . s beconing largei than the lenses of her spectacle glasses. "You're not married then?M "No," said Mr. Dalzell. "Before 1 left the East, I fell in love. I shall never marry until I can many that first love of mine." He looked Klma full in the eyes as he spoke. She culoied. Her long lashes drooped. At the end of the month Mrs. Per kino aroused herself to fhe exigencies of the case. "All thia la like life in fairyland, dear Rim*. 'll'.d she" '1 fluf It isn't business. I see by the papers that several music teachers have recently arrived from the Fast, and if we are to get to work?"

"Oh!" again uttered Mrs. Perkins. "But you said .you never, never would forgive him."
