Watching for ra.
Three little- forms in twilight gay,
Scanning tho shadows across tho way;
Six littlo eyes, four black and two blue,
Brimful of love and happiness, too.
Watching for pa.
Mav, with her placid and thoughtful brow,
Gentle face beaming with smiles just now;
Willie, the rogue, so loving and gay,
Stealing sly kisses from sister May,
* Watching for pa.
Nellie, with ringlets: of sunny hue,
Cosily nestled between tho two,
Pressing her cheek to the window pane.
Wishing tho absent one home again
' Watching for pa.
0, how thev gaze at the passers-by!
"He's coming at last,"' they gaily cry;
"Trv again, my pets," exclaims mammy,
And"Nellie adds, "There's the twilight star
Watching for pa."
Jack nods and smiles, as with busy feet
He lights the lamps of their quiet street:
That sweet little group ho knows full well,
May, and Willie, and golden-haired Nell,
Watching for pa.
Soon joyous shouts from tho v,indr>w seat,
And cager patter of childish feet;
Gay musical chimes ring through the 'nail,
A manly voice responded to the' call
'"Welcome, papa."

"Banks! Banks! Where has tho
fell JW gone to?'" cried Smith Butler's
thin, peevish voice from the depths of
his luxurious arm-chair. "1 did not
seo him go down the garden. Where
has he put himself, ch?" "I'm sure
I don't know sir," answered the foot?
man, looking out of tho study win?
dow with a great show of earnest?
ness. "I turned him away, and
didn't take no more particular
notice of him." "Then why did you
not take particular notice of him,
Banks?" said his master, snappishly.
"You ought to have taken particular
notice of him. What do I havo you
for but to take particular notice of
things? A pretty thing, indeed, that j
you think you may do just as youl
like, and take notice or not as it suits
you. I shall soon have to pay
another servant to do your work,
and take notice for you, if this kind
of carelessness is to go on." Hore
Banks gave an almost imperceptible
emile. "I beg you will go round and
see if that man is gone. L do not
like ill-looking tramps prowling
about thc premises, especially just at
thc time when Carlo has been found
dead so mysteriously. G-o, I tell yoti
-don't you hear?-and see at once."
"Yes, sir," replied Banks, respect?
fully enough as to outside manner
never mind his thoughts andyo?celess
words; and he left tho room, calmly
indifferent to the shrill cries calling
him back to give him a thousand j
minute instructions as what he was ?
to do and where he was to go, until
obliged to return by tho violent ring?
ing of the bell, when he was rated
for ten minutes "without a pause.
And then it was of no usc to look
after the ill-looking tramp who had
disturbed Smith Butler's nerves.
The worst-tempered, most selfish,
peevish, irritable man in the world
was this sanlei nith lintier, of Gully
stone. Humored and spoilt as an
only child, suffered to tyrannize and
domineer as a husband, always
absolute, always selfish, he . was one
of those men who recognizetio rights
sav?'their own, and who makes of
their own wishes and desires tho sole
laws regulating their lives. He was
in poor health, being of the miserable
race ot tho dyspeptic, which tended
to render him more irritable; and bis
fortune had been suddenly doubled
by a lucky investment, which tended
to render him more arbitrary. Per?
haps there could not have been found
anywhere a more unpleasant com?
panion or a more tyrannical master
than Smith Butler, of Gullystone, or
one less respected and less beloved.
His poor afflicted wife had lun n dead
some years now, and had fortunately
left no children to bear the weight ol'
his ill-temper in her stead; but ho
hud au orphan niece, Cany Wins?
ton, his wife's brother's child, who
lived with him, and was. tho solo
relation or legal connection he had.
She was. dependent on him, too,
which made the bond between them
tho- stricter, if not the. pleasanter; I
for, having no money (d' her own,
(her father had died insolvent,) ?md
Smith Butler designing to make loo
his heiress if she pleased him, he
claimed to have absolute right over
her--soul, mind and life lo ibu sub?
ject to him without reserve. Garry
thought differently, and struggled
gallantly against her commandant;
but Smith Butler had the reins, rid?
ing with a martingale, which rendered
kicking difficult, and the girl's inde?
pendent spirit went for little in the
contest forever going on between
them. One other person shared in
Carry's instinct of revolt; this was
Walter Lochmore, tue sun ol' Carry's
father's nearest friend, ?md now con?
tinuing ibo family tradition by being
the nearest friend (d' Carry herself.
But unfortunately for the girl,
Walter was specially obnoxious to
Smith Butler, partly on account of a
bad habit he had.of speaking his
mind, and being difficult to put
down by the mere force of assertion;
and partly because having but small
means ami moderate prospects, lie
had dared to raise Iiis eyes to Carry,
with aspirations more presumptuous
than fraternal. And her uncle would
not have overlooked this kind of
thing even in a lord, without pi r
mission first demanded of him?
self; so that, in a mero nobody
like Walter Lochmore, unauthorized
love-making was a sin past
forgiveness. Wherefore the hand?

.< *
gineer met with but scant welcome, at j
Gallyslone, save from Carry. Bat >
what ko met with from her, on the |
r*rc occasions when he ventured to j
appear, made up for all the rest.
lt was in thc wintertime when this
vision of an ill-looking tramp prowl
iug about thc house shook Mr. But?
ler's nerves, never case-proof against
such assaults. Indeed, it was Christ?
mas eve; aud Carry knew, if her
uncle did not, that Walter Lochmore
would surely have pressing business
in thc neighborhood of Gullystouo
before the day was ont, oven though
it was now snowing fast, with the
prospect of worse weather to come
in tho leaden sky. And soon, indeed,
she saw him from her bed-room win?
dow, where she had been watching
all thc day, como rifling along thc
road, uot with the Lard and heavy
I pace usual to him, but slowly aud
cautiously, his marc tottering and
I limping, hardly aldo to do her work.
; She had fallon with him, and had
i hurt herself so badly, that it had
been a matter of anxious calculation
j with him whether he could reach
; Gullystone at nil to-day. However,
doubts wore at an cud now: for hore
\ ho was in sight of tho gates, and
! that bright mass of violet in the
i centre window waving a small white
! flag, which he knew to bc Carry wav
j ing her handkerchief; and soou both
! man and marc stood beforo the hall
j door, and thc haven of 1ovo and rest
was wou. "Who's that?" cried Smith
Butler, when he heard thc peal of
thc door-bell and thc clatter and
clang that followed. "Mr. Walter
Lechmerc, sir," replied the ubi?pat?
ons and ever-civil Banks, making no
sign of conciousness that bc was
handing his master a bitter pill for
his Christmas digestion. Mr. Smith
Butler swore-ho often swore-and
muttering, "I'll soon send thc young
dog packing!" went straight into tin
drawing-room, where ho found Wal?
ter and Carry Whiston standing in
demure propriety on thc hearth-rug
-young oars being sharp, and he
having a reasonant cough, alway.'
worse when ho was annoyed. "So.
Mr. Lechmerc," he said, as he enter?
ed, "to what may 1 owe thc honoi
of this visit, eh?" "Well, sir, I was
iu the neighborhood, aird I could nol
resist thc temptation of riding ova
to sec my old friends," ausweret
Walter cheerfully. "All very well
sir, for you," returned Mr. Butler
"but perhaps it would have beer
more becoming if you had reflecte,
whether tho 'temptation/ was our:
or not." "At Christmas time even
one is welcome," said Walten-. "Oh
indeed, sir!-that is your opinion, i;
it? I bog leave to differ from you
Mr. Lochmore ; uot even at Christ?
mas timo is every one welcome a
Gullystone.'' "I am very sorry, sir,
said Walter, "but ? fear I must tres
pass a little on your hospitality, fo

and is so badly hurt I canuot rid?

you either lend nie a horse (and lu
glanced at thc blinding snow) or givi

"Lend you a horse, sir!" quivercc
Smith Butler, angrily- -"send one o
my valuable horses out with you m
such a day as this! Arc you mad
Mr. Lechmerc? Do you know wha
my stables cost me? Do you kno\
what my horses are worth at Tat
tersall's? Had you not better ask m
for my servants, and my carriage
and my plate, and my banker's book
and all that 1 have at once?" Her
he stopped, ont of breath, and cough
ing loudly.
"Then I am afraid Mr. Locbraer
must stay herc, uncle," said Carry
with a litre show of uot particular!
caring which way it went. "It i

Mr. Butler, tartly. "Lost ki th

so irritable at tho sound of biscbee
voice that he could really bear it i
longer; so, with an audible explcti
of n peevish rather than an excessivo
kind, he turned his back on the pair,
and left the room in a pet. It was
always a trial to him when fate and
circumstance overmastered his will;
and in tho sacred depths of his own
sanctum he growled and fretted him?
self into a small fever, while the
young people, unmolested, went
straightway up to Heaven in the
drawing-room.
A bright-faced, bright-eyed, sweet
tempered girl was Carry Winston.
She was engaged to Walter without
her uncle's knowledge, and distinctly
against his wishes; and her lover
knew full well that no intimidation,
no persuasion, no cajolery, wonld
; make her unfaithful, or cause her to
I swerve a hair's breadth from her pro
j mise. "I do not know what would
i become of me, Carry, if I could not
; trust you," said Walter, a little sadly,
! while they were sitting together after
i Mr. lintier had left them. "You
?know you may trust me, Walter."
answered Carry, fondly. "Uncle
j wants mo to marry poor George
Grey, but 1 don't think you need
fear him as a very formidable rival,"
and she laughed. "Well, I d< n't
think I need," said Walter. "Lot
I me see, how tall is ho, Carry? up to
j your shoulder?" "About," she said.
?laughing again; "at all events, not
1 up to "ty heart, Mr. Walter." Which
was such a pretty conceit that Walter
helped himself to a double allowance
of a certain form of small chango cur
I rent between them, to which ho was
not wholly unaccustomed, nor she
obnoxious. "He was to have come
here to-day," Carry then went on to
say, when that little interlude was
concluded. "Uncle asked him to
come over and spend Christmas with
us; but it is such a terrible day-and,
fortunately for us, he is such a poor
creature-that I don't think he will
come." As she spoke, however,
George Grey's handsome, well-ap?
pointed carriage drove slowly up to
the door.
Not a bad fellow was this same
George Grey, of Grey's Court; simply
contemptible, judged by tho woman's
instinctive standard of what is admi?
rable and fitting in a man. Small,
weak, effeminate, without the physi?
cal strength or robuster moral finali?
ties of his sex, and cowardly, nervous,
conscientious and good-natured, ir?
resolute and utterly unable to "stand
up" for himself, no matter what the
provocation; by no means good
looking,- so that he had not even the
small prettiness sometimes seen in
unmanly and insignificanl men, tc
compensate never so.meagrely foi
his want of power-he had absolute
nothing to recommend him to a wo?
man's favor save his fortune, and thc
certainty of being mistress should ??lu
consent to be his wife. As for love,
that was impossible with most, cer?
tainly quite impossible with such r
girl as (.'airy Winston, too health}
and nat ural herself to be very tole?

miscd him her hand by next spring
This was tlc first time the two aspi
rants had stood face to face; am
surely even Smith Butler could not
in his heart, blame tito choice whicl
Carry had made. George Grey -nu
fluite live feet four, with a weakl;
knit frame-had but little chance ii
.a comparison with Walter Lochmore
six feet without his hoots, strong
clean-limbed and muscular-a first
rate fenec?-, a first-rate boxer, a capi
tal shot, si good oarsman, a darin,
horseman -well up, indeed, in ever
manly exercise, ami holding hig]
rank in every manly sport; while, a
for beauty, how could that mottlei
face be spoken of in thc same da,

manly frame? Cany had not a siugl
inducement to forsake lu i- own lov
and taite up with her uncle's, savi
indeed, that one sole birt; of money
which was no hire to her.
Very uneasy and abashed was poo
George Grey, when ho heard the nam
of that formidable-looking gr..- i wh
had preceded him. ami whom he f< mn
so comfortably established in th
drawing-room, holding silks, whil

quite pale and nervous, it blew s
fiercely; but Carry and Walter on
laughed, as at their best friend; am
who knows? it might continue eve
over to-morrow, and Walter be bouii
iu his pleasant prison for another
twenty-four hours. "A foolish trick
that of yours, Mr. Lochmore!*' said
Mr. Butler, suddenly, and with much
ill-temper; he had been thinking the
same as Carry and Walter, and chaf?
ing at thc prospect of bis enforced
hospitality, and this most untoward
rivalship. "I have always heard you
boast of your horsemanship; not very j
like a good band, to throw your mare '
and injure her, ns it seems you have ;
done, most seriously-seriously. Day \
said, did he not, Hanks?" "Yes, sir," i
said Banks, iu bis official voice. I
was riding down hill, and she stepped I
on a loose stone," returned Walter, i
"Thc ground was as hard as iron, you j
know, sir, and as slippery as glass." |
"And jf course you were riding at a
break-neck pace!" sneered thc host.
"Well, I confess I was going a little
too hurd for prudence." answered .
Walter, throwing his bair from, off
his for. bead.
"Did you meet a tramp not far
from herc?"' presently asked Smith
Butler. "No, sir. I did not," Walter
answered. "1 met only three mon on j
roy way from the station -only three
in all the twelve miles; and they were
by no means a pleasant-looking triad, j
I should say. But they wore not in ?
my way, so 1 did not trouble myself ;
much about them." "Three tramps;
did you say? Bless my soul! that
makes four in one day! and Carle is
just dead!" cried Mr. Butler, un?
easily. "Carlo dead! Poor old fel?
low! I did not know that. When,
did ho die? and what did bo die of?" j
asked Walter. "Why, Caroline, did j
you not tell Mr. Lechmero that Carlo j
was dead?" exclaimed Mr. Butler, j
peevishly. "Bloss my soul, what
were you thinking of, to bo so remiss
as not to tell him that remarkable ;
fact?" "Ho was fourni dead in his
kennel this morning," said Carry.
"He was quite well yesterday, and 1 ;
hoard him bark very much in thc !
night, and this morning he was j
dead!'' "Dear mo, how very extra?
ordinary!" simpered George (?rey.;
"Most extraordinary," said Mr. But-!
1er, with emphasis. "I believe he 1
was poisoned, yon know: and to-day
comes a tramp about the place who j
must have vanished into snow. 1 '
think, for no ono saw him go down1
the gardon, and you did not meet
him, you say. Mr. Lechmero; so
where the deuce the fellow got to F
cannot for tho lifo nf mo imagine."
"Ob! he bas bidden himself in thc:
hay Toft for shelter, " laughed Walter, j
not particularly interested in thc sub?
ject. "Oh! bas he?" said Mr. But?
ler, grimly. '.Banks, tell Day to

to bo; that is all I c. n say!" "Yes, ?
sir," said Banks, and went into thc
kitchen, where, he and Day (Day was j
coachman i bad a good laugh at |
"master's lads" over an extra pint
beyond theirallowai.ee, amt then bc
returned to the dining-room and re?
ported Day as having "gone to see;"
and in due time bc reported him as
having found tho loft perfectly te
nantless. He bad never stirred from
the kitchen fire; but that was of no
consequence Mr. Smith Butler was
content; and looking across the table
to Walter, said, sneeringly, "One of
your follies, as usual, Mr. Lechmero,
von sec!" ".Not very unlikely,
though, Kir, was it?"' said Walter,
laughing. '.Very unlikely indeed. 1
should say," snapped Mr. lintier. "1
really gave way to the absurdity to
satisfy you; I never thought it likely
myself."'" "Thank yon. sir," said
Walter, quito tranquilly; and Carry
put in, "It is always better to sift
things, if possible,-without laughing.
