Nothing to Do. UT HRS. MAB fi AB ET 3. PBXSTOH. The following expressive effusion points a tale for older boys than tho child of the poetess' imagination. We commend its moral to thood oppressed with that terrible ennui of "Nothing te Do," simply because they prefer to do nothing: "I have shot my arrows, and spun ray top, And handled my last new bah; I trundled my hoop till I had to stop, And I swung till I got a fall; I tumbled my Dooks all ont of the shelves, And hunted the pictures through; I've flung them where they may sort them? selves, And now-I have nothing to do. "The Tower of Babel I built of blooke Came down with a crash to the floor; liv train of cars ran over the rooks I'll warrant they'll run no more; I have raced with Grip till Tm oat of breath; Hy slate is broken in two. So I can't draw monkeys! I'm tired to death, Because I hav? nothing to dc, "The boys have gone to the pond to fish, They bothered me, too, to go; But for faa like that I hadn't a wish, For I thinks it's mighty 'slow' To sit ail day at the end of a rod, For the sake of a minnow or two, Or to land, at the farthest, an eel ou the sod Fd rather have nothing to dol "Maria has gone to the woods for flowers, And Lucy and Rose are away After berries-I'm sure theyve been out for hours. I wonder what makes them stay; Ned wanted to saddle Bninette for me, But riding is nothing new; 'I was thinking you'd relish a canter.' said he, 'Becauso you bad nothing to do.' "I wish I was poor Jim Foster's son, For ho seems so happy and gay, When his wood is chopped anubis work all done, With his little half hour of play; Ho neither has books, nor top, nor ball, Yet he's singing the whole day through; But then-he is never tired at all, * Because bo has nothing to do." MY MIDMOHT PERIL. The night of the 17th of October shall I ever forget its pitchy dark? ness, the roar of the autumnal wind through the lonely forest, and the incessant down-pour of the rain? I had heard of lonely wayfarers being lost in the woods before; I had pitied them; but now I fully realized the vague terror, the undefined danger which broods over the lost! "This comes of short cuts," I mut? tered petulently to myself, as I plod? ded along, keeping close to the trunks of the trees, to avoid tho deep ravine through whioh I Could just hear tho roar of the turbulent stream, some forty or fifty feet below. My blood ran cold os I thought what might be the possible consequence ol a mis-step or a move in the wrong direotion. Why had I not been con? tented to keep in the high rood? "I should have reached the rail? road station an hour ago, if I had not foolishly imagined the wood path would be more direct; now 1 have wandered off, nobody knowe how many miles out of civilization, and if I escape with a whole skin and sound bones, I shall consider mysell particularly lucky. Hold on-wot that a light, or are my eyes playing mo as false as did my common sense? I stopped, holding on to the low, resinous boughs of a hemlock, thal grew on tho edge of the bank, for il actually seemed os if the wind would seize me bodily and hurl me dowe the precipitous descent. It was a light-thank Providence, it was a light, and no i'jms fatuus oi corpse-gleam to lure me on to de structiou and death. "Halloo-o-o-ol" My voice rang through the woodi like a clarion, strengthened by th? energy of desperation; the light hesi tated, oscillated back and forth, anc finally stood still. I plunged on ware through tangled vines, dense briars and rocky banks, until gradually nearing, I could perceive a bent figuri wrapped in au old oil-cloth cape o: cloak, carrying a lantern. As th* dim light fell upon his face, I almos recoiled. Would not solitude an( tho woods be preferable to tho com panionship of this withered, wrin kled, hideous old man? But it wa too late to recede now. "What's wanting?" he snarled with a peculiar motiou of the lips tba seemed to leave his yellow stumps a] bare. "I am lost in the woods; can yo direct me to R-station?" "Yes; R-station is twelve mile from here?" "Twelve miles?" I stood aghast. "Yes." "Can you tell me of any shelter could obtain for the night?" "No!" "Where are you going?" "To Drew's, down by tho map] swamp." "Is it a tuvern?" "No." "Would they t?ke rac for thc- nigh I could pay them well." His eyes gleamed; tho yello stumps stood rovealed once moro. "I guess so. 'Taint a tavern, b folks do stop there once in a whilo "Is it fur from here?" "Not very; about half a mile." "Then let us make haste and rea? it. I am drenched to the skin." We plodded on, my companii * more than keeping pace with ir though he must have been neai seventy-five years of age, and be with infirmity. Presently we h the edge of the ravine, entering wi seemed like trackless woods, a ?? ? ? ,'-<.....?:.' . . . ..? <*, y . keeping straight on until the lights of some habitation gleamed fitfully through the wet foliage. It was a ruinous old place, with the windows all down to one side, as if the foundation had Bottled, and tho pillars of a rude porch nearly rotted away; yet Aladdin's castle could scarcely have looked pleasanter or more welcome to me, way-worn and weary as I was. A woman answered my fellow-tra? veler's knock-a woman apparently about thirty-five years of age, with 1 reddish-brown hair, wound in thick braids about her head, and curions, half-shut eyes. My companion whis? pered a word to her, and she turned to me with smooth, voluble words of welcome. "She regretted the poverty of their accommodations; but I was welcome to them, such as they were." "Where is Isaac?" demanded my "Ho hos not come yet" I sat down on a wooden bench be? side the fire, with my valise close to me, while the woman threw on fresh logs, drew out a round pine table, and prodnced broad, cold meat, and a bottle of Borne spirituous compound. I ate a few mouth-fulls of the bread, but did not toneh the other articles. "I should like to retire os soon as possible," I said, for my weariness was excessive. ..Certainly." The woman started up with alacrity. "Where aro you going to put him?" asked my guide. "Up chamber." "Pat him in Isaac's room." "No." "It's the most comfortable." "I tell you no!" But here I interrupted the whis? pered colloquy. "I am not particular-I don't car? where you lodgo me, only make haste." Tho woman's smooth apologie! were profuse. "She only wished tc make mo comfortable, and Isaac'i room always leaked in wet spells.' So I was conducted up a steep lad der, that stood in the corner of th< room, into an apartment ceiled wit! sloping beams and ventilated by om small window, where a cot bedstead crowded oloso against the boan partition, and a pine table, with em or two chairs, formed the sole at tempts at furniture. The woman set the.light-an oi lamp-on the table. "Anything I can get for you, sir?' "Nothing, I thank you." "I hope you'll sleep well, sir. Whei shall I call vou?" . "At 4 o'clock in the morning, i you please. I must walk over i It-? station in time for the 7 o'clod express." She withdrew, leaving me alone ii the gloomy little apartment. I sa down sud looked around me with n very agreeable sensation. Wearied aa I had become, I felt n inclination to sleep-in fact, seeme as if I had never been moro wakefn in my life. I walked up and dowi the narrow room; I lay down on th bed, trying to woo slumber by lister ing to the.ceaseless drip, drip of th rain upon the roof; but all in vair my brain seemed preternatural! active. "I will sit down and write t Berenice," I thought. "That wi soothe my nerves, and quiet me, pei haps." I descended the ladder. The fit still glowed redly on the stone b< neath; my companion and the wc mau sat beside it, talking in a lo tone, and a third person sat at tb table eating-a short, stout, villait ous-looking man, in a red fiann* shirt, and muddy trowsers. I asked for writing materials, bottle of ink, a stumpy pen, und couple of sheets of soiled paper wei brought ont of a little cup-board i the chimney, and I returned to na room to write to my wife. "My Burling Berenice!" I paused and laid down my pen i I concluded the words, half smilii to think what she would say cou! she know of my strange quarters she, my fair Italian flower, now r gaining the lost roses under the bin balmy sky of her native land. Swe little Berenice! She, at least, w spared the perils of this stormy mi night! Not until both sheets were covere did I lay asido my pen and propa for slumber. As I folded the papt I happened to glance toward u couch. Was it the gleam of a human e observing mo through tho cracks the board partition, or was it but i own fancy? Whatever it was, it sen cold chill through the very tuarn of my bones. I took my light reconnoitre. There was a crack the but only blank darkness boyond; > I. could imve ?worn mat somcthi had sparkled balefully at me. I took up my watch-it was o'clock. It was scarcely worth wL for me to undress for three hou sleep; I would lie dowu in i clothes and snatch what sluinbe: could. So placing my valise ol to tho head of my bcd, and bal cading tho lockless door with the t chairs, I extinguished tho light i laid down. At first, I was very wakeful, 1 gradually a soft drowsiness seen to steal over mc like a misty man 1 until, all of a sudden, some startl j electric thrill coursed through all veins, and I set np; excited and trembling. A luminous softness seemed to glow and quiver through the room-' no light of moon or star was eyer BO I soft or penetrating-and bj tho li ttl o window' I saw Berenice, my wife, ] dressed in a floating garment of white, with her long, golden hair knotted back by a blue ribbon. Ap? parently she was beckoning to me with out-stretched hands, and eyes f ull of wild, anxious tenderness. CONCLUDED IN OUB NEXT. Spring and Summor Fashions.
