TUNE. BY K- ANUKttTON. 'Oh, Paul ! don't you wish wo r.cic rich, like the family at Hill Lodge, and thai papa CutUd drive to town every dnv iu his carriage as Mr. Hirers docs ? and ? there's Julian, too, only your :igc, ridel u h rse now?he might have given you his little puny, it was very mean to se 1 it.' :'Sister let us be thankful that our lather is able to walk, and not crippled like Mr. Rivers* but do you believe that I. who atn taller, than Julian, would ride that little pony ? A pretty fig tiro I should cut with my long legs almost t< tu hing the ground.' 'Ah. but sometimes T cannot help wishing we acre rieh,' and Dora Hatnp ton sighed, as she glanced down at her faded calico drcsi TIave courage and patience little Sis ; I hope soon to get a place and earn some money, then, when I g"ow to be a man, you are to be my little housekeeper. Hut here comes Julian, riding at a full full gallop down the hill ; what brings him, I wonder we have not been v? ry goods friends of late ?' 'Hallo, there V cried Julian. ?Hold my horse while I come iu for a few u.iu utcs.' Again he repeated the summons iu a louder tone. ?Who are you caliing to, Master Iliv ers V 'To you, of course ; you do uot keep a groom, I guess.' 'We do not, sir, neither arp I one; so when you condescend to ride do am into the valley, uttcud to your horso your pelf.' Dora watched Julian as he alighted add tied his horso to the gurden gate. He was handsomely dressed in a velvet suit, with riding gloves, and dainty, lit tle, well-fitting boots; but lie looked pule and sickly, for his appo ite was pampered with rich uuwhol-.ome food, and he was allowed to sit up until all hours of tho night. Then she glanced toward her brothor. What a contrast ! With his dark, handsouio .eyes, nnd no ble brow and cheek, browned by expos ure to the sau ; even those coarse, homo made jjarineiits looked ?voll upon hL erect figure. 'I'll never wish for riuhus any moro,' thought Dora. 'Puff, puflT exclaimed Julian ns ho entered ; 'bow smothering it is in this little "room, with its low ceiling! Oh, Dora! 1 did not seo ydu in that dark corner.' 'Look you sir !' cr!cd Paul, indignant* ly. 'this is my I'nthcr'a dwelling, and as such, is sacred in my eyos. Stay with out in future, and do not come here to insult us.' 'Excuse me. Paul, for I really didn't iuteud to offeud you,' und Juliau held out his hand. 'I came to nek if you would go to town with me ; 1 waut a ucw riding whip, aud uo end of things.' 'Not in the dusty highway at your horse's heels ; hut if you walk there by the meadow, atidthrough the little wood I doa't object, for I have some errands in town for mother.' 'Auroed, then ; may I put up my horse somewhere till we return ?' 'Yes, in the old barn; there is plenty of straw and he will be quite safe there. I'll assist you now, Julian, ami any time when y<?u treat mo us your equal, ami drop putting on airs.' 'All right, Paul. But what sh ill I billig you from town, Dora, and Julian rattled a handful of silver dollars in his pockot. ?Nothing, thank you.' Dora Hamp ton was not a whit less proud than her brother. The two boys followed the narrow footpath through the meadow, though almost hidden from their sight by the long, waving gratis, Paul sometimes stopping to gather a few wild flowers, for the garden at Dale Cottage was not rieh in floral ornaments. Tl ey did not wait to go round by the old bridge which spanned the little stream half a mile away, but drawing < fi their shoes a-d stockings waded through the water, sitting awhile to rest on the other side, and planning a fishing excursion for a future day. Beyond the stream lay the little wood, and there Paul gathered the wild honey suckle and the delicate fern to ad 1 to his bouquet, hiding it beneath the rushes at the Water's edge until their ? ei wrii. 'J he plensnnt shady wood was passed, a wiioliii.- lam; fcU.eceroV'1, froo 'xhvuxnf the church spires and Jolty buildings of the town were visible The two com panions soon reaching the wide suburb of the principal street, traversed in all directions by many others. They visited one store. I'aul made the household purchnj***. for his mother, j and vari >u< others on Julian's account ; who soon disp^s 1 of :ill his money; ! 'And now,' he said, 'I have not a red cent left.' ?Precisely my cns?,' erie I Paul, 'with this difference, that I started out wilhi out any of my own. Hallo ! what's this T* Stop, stop, J ule.' The boy lifted something from beneath his feet ; it was a pocket book filled with notes, s^ome of a high vaiue, ?flow lucky !' exclaimed Julian, 'jui-t when our pockets were empty. Bet's go h;dv-a oil the spot, or. rather, hurry on into the laue, and there count our trcasure.' ' (Jar treasure ? You had passed by, und were not the finder, neither is it mine to divide.' '1 never heard such stupidlietM ! Do you really intend to restore that pocket book, if inquired for ? No one SaW you pick it up.' 'Yes, One. did, who sees all things ; but I shall not count the money now ; my father will do that, when he comes home, and keep it until we hear of the owner.' 'And that owner reward you with his thanks, or, perhaps, a miserable live or teu dollai note.' 'I shall rejoice to have rarued that much honestly.' The walk homo was far loss plcisant to the two boys; Julian all the way co\etint* a share of that newly-found trca.suio, nnd Paul grave and silont with the resj onsibility of his charge. Thoy ' no longer hunted the brown squirrel, nor paused to watch the fish leaping to the surface as the sunbeams danced up on tho water, uor plucked the wild flower in their path?even the hidden bouquet was forgotten?but thoy hurri ed ou to tho cottage, where J ulian. uttering a hasty 'good-bye,' mounted his horse and rode away. Mr. Hampton bald a situation as clerk-in an offiee in tho town ; ho always went there early, but tho following morning Paul accompanied him. They bought a paper, eagerly scanning the advertisements under the huud of'Lost,' and with a wildly boating heart, Paul read aloud, '$200 Reward,' then follow ed n description of tho pocket-book and its contents. (200 I Ho was breathless with excitement. 'This appears to bo the property of Owen Wainright, one of our leading merchants,' said Mr. 'i&mptoB, ifoi shall take it to him, my^boy, rolatinj how and where you fount It wis not long bo I 11 returned, his handsome face glowing with pleasure* 'After inquiring ray nam? father,* said ho, 'and' y*ur employmet) , Mr. Wilo-> right usked what I shoulH do with the roward ? 1 suswered giue it ? all to father, for he will know best how to lay it out. So here it is, Air,' aud Paul couutcd out ton $20bi11s. T 'And a real godsend it ?, Pnul ' 'Hut stay?you nnvo ^ot heard all. Mr. Wninright seemed phased with-my' answer, and uking 825 njjure froui the pocketjjhonk gave it to q?>lso, saying. 'This, my honest boy, is-for yourself.' t He next, asked ihfudjts, i?4M oh ! father,1 I do believe toy fortuno ifr made, fon 11 ani tO ?Olli? ngajn ?KriniAnCT y{>n with me, to morrow morning, aop he promises to give me then a 'post or' trust' in his warehouse ; and, father, owVoiy way hero.

Mr. Hampton made kflgn in token of assent, for at that mmnjmt he could nut speak. Oh, what a happy cvcnlfcig that was ? j The little e<-U.-igc in the volley resound ed with the children's sorrajand cheers, as Paul's 'banquet,' for sislhey called it. was partaken. 1 questui^JCtha, grout house upon the hill was hat " fojty ,l fdaco.

Even Julian Rivera is convinced that it was a far wiser, as well as more honor able course, to restore that money, for Paul advances each year in his siiaa.ion: And d.-ar little Dora w so proud t?l her brother!

'buTif 1 meet with such another true, kind girl for a sweet heart, also I shall think myself a lucky fellow.' Atid so Paul keeps steadily upon his course, with every prospect of future advancement, and with the brightest hopes of growing up to a noble man hood, in spite of his humble beginning His employer places the grearten conti deuce iu him, and Dora i* justly proud of her brother.
