Womanhood.
BT SIES, i???? s.
Like a water-lily floating
On the bosom of a rill,
Like a star sent back to Hoavon, Jjk,
When the lak? *> ???rn ari" .W?
A woman's soul Ilea dreaming
On the stilly WSVOB o? life.
Till love comes with its sunshine
Its tenderness and strifo.
Then hope grows bright and glorious,
Her faith is deep and strong,
And her thoughts swell out like musio
Set to a heavenly song;
Her heart bas twiun'd ita being, .
And awakes from ita repose,
As m water-lily trembles
When its chalice overflows.
Then she feels ? now existence
For the loveless do not live
The best wealth of tho universe
Is hers to keep and give
Wealth richer tuan earth's golden veins,
That yield their blood to toil,
And brighter than tho dU.ruond lights
Tn*t burn within the soil.
Ohl her soul is full or richness.
Liku a goblet of old wino.
Wreathed in with purple blossoms
And Boft tendrils of tho vino ;
Its holy doptb? grow luminons,
Its strings are sweet with tune.
And thc visions floating through it
Have tho rosiness of June.
Ohl she counts not timo by cycles,
Since tho day that she was born?
From tho soul-time of a woman
Let all the years be shorn,
Not full of grateful happiness
Not brimming o'er with lovo
Not speaking of her womanhood .
To tho Holy One abovo.

CONCLUDED.
Did she not? Nan's little heart,
though it certainly beat fast, was
scarcely, I think, throbbing with
surprise. And Cavendish conjugated
the most popular of verbs, always,
however, in the first person singular.
And Nan walked beside him, with
her ungloved hand white on his arm,
and her sweet eyes lowered, and all
the dimples round her mouth imper?
ceptible]-left behind, perhaps, in
tho charge of Mr. Popham. Present?
ly, Cavendish finished up, in tho
same manner in which he had been
going on all through-"Dearest."
He had made her an offer which,
prosaically rendered, was an intima?
tion that he possessed nothing, never
had possessed anything, did not
much think he ever should possess
anything of sufficient magnitude to
enable him to support a young wife;
still, without binding herself to him
in any way, would Nan give to him
grounds for hope? Vague, perhaps,
but where would Nan's delicate per?
ceptions have been, if, at this mo?
ment, she had failed to understand
him?
And now, I am expected to unravel
Nan's secret. It were beyond mc.
Any ordinary mortal would have
said that she loved him. Cavendish
thought so, and even Nau herself,
yet we judge from results. But it is
not fair now thus to look forward
into the future. Cavendish did not
do so, nor did Nan. At his first
word, "Dearest," Nan's whole heart
was stirred; that loving, unstable
heart, that so many were longing to
gain, though Heaven only knows
whether the magical word, pro?
nounced by Mr. Popham, would not
have had much the same effect. At
last, when they separated, they were
neither of them, they said, in any
way bound. Poor Cavendish 1 Not
bound? Ho was bound, at least, to
a shipwrecked life, whether he for?
ever remained constant to Nan, or
whether in his manhood he found
there not sufficient to satisfy what?
ever in himself was true, and so,
marrying later some one far more
worthy, would yet have lost his first
i sweet conception of woman in the
. last look he took of poor Nan.
Ah, Nan, why woro your gifts so
many, if you, foolish, could only
thus use them? The love of yonr
mother for Ashley had sanctified
"both their lives. Cavendish, at
night, alono and musing: "Darling
little Nan, what wonld I not giro to
be able to call her mino now?"
-Quite right, Cavendish. Had that
been so, then might both of your
lives have been different. Nan would
most certainly have been true to her
[husband, though it is open to ques?
tion whether she would ever nave
turned into another Eve. Still, I am
mot at all prepared to say that for
.Cavendish Nan would not have been
{sufficient. He would have been
tsnmething out of tho common who
.would not have been satisfied with
?Nan at her best.
Eve, when Bhe heard of what had
.occurred, was at once in a tumult of
?motions. Cavendish, in her mind,
was not equal to her husband, that
had so long now been dead. This
?. granted, waa it not sad that Nan
mnst pat up with anything that was
thus proved to fall short of perfec?
tion? But this suggestion, when
.liinted at to Nan, by no menus met
with her approval. "GooJ gracious
me, mumtnn, I am sure he is good
?enough in all oousoience. I don't
iknow how many thousand times bet?
ter than me already." That was not
*ayiug vory much, but Nan was
.always to Eve young Ashley's daugh?
ter, and his virtues were supposed to
lhave descended, though perhaps
-eveu Eve perceived they had lessened
:in the descent. Nun looked as if she
-thought her mother unkind, und Eve
' took her child in her arms, and Bang
io her Oavondiidy? praises, the sweet?
est of all lullabies to tho girl.
But now this story, that should run
*o straight, swerves and diverges
_1-J_pul mm ???^n?fwr-rrhr i i II nj; r.. ; "
sadly. Cavendish threw np his homo
appointment, having a much bettor
one offered him abroad, and his last
walk with Nan : before aturi?ng was
throush fields that lay white 'neath a
harvest moon. Poor Cavendish,
through all the changes of his after
hie, that walk stood oat clearly be?
fore him. ? flood of light illuminat?
ing the hills, and the very pretty
lines of Nan's clinging figure, show?
ing, too, her face, with real traces of
grief, and glistening on the wet
fringes of her eyes. Dearly aa he
loved her, she had never appeared to
him so sweet as now in her sorrow.
"Nan, my good darling Nan." And
poor little Nan put ,her cold hands
before her face, and sobbed as if her
very heart was breaking. Breaking I
Eve's heart had not broken when
I young Ashley had died, and Eve was
a true woman, with a true loyal heart,
that had never ouce swerved iu its
i allegiance, and knew not the mean?
ing of turning. Breaking! Nan's
heart would never break. It was
composed of too slight materials, was
too elastic, had too much spring;
possessed, in short, too much pliable
power. But for all that, her grief
was real, and her tears very bitter,
aud the wound they flowed from very
painful.
And Cavendish went off, being
bound for foreign shores, and all the
passage out, his thoughts flew quick?
er than tho sea-gulls back to Eng?
land. Back to England? Back to a
country, back to a village, back to a
dear old familiar spot where Nan
lived. He would sit up high on tho
ship, lying his length on tho paddle
box, a cigar between his lips, and his
eyes on tho silvery reflection of the
moonbeams playing on tho waves.
But who shall say what he thought
of, or the images that rose up before
him. All I know is, tho bello of the
ship, having taken a fancy to his sun
? burnt appearance, and got herself ny
to the utmost of her power, and
flashed fire nt him from out of very
dark eyes, decided at last it all was
useless, ?inco the good-looking swel
smoked steadily, and would not lool
down from tho post ho hid chosen,
or even relax tho muscles of his face.
"What wonder? There were othei
eyes shining beforo him. Quietei
eyes aa last ho had Been them, ant
the tones of a voice sweeter far thar
the belle's, were ringing in his ears
The whole of the little picture he du
not dare conjure np. The clinging
hands, the quivering lips, the piteou:
little face raised towards him
Through the long summer nights
when the ship was asleep, the spiri
of his dreams kept him company.
And in England, there was Nai
crying her eyes out. for onco totall;
disregarding her personal appear
ance. Eve was distressed bey ont
measure at this half-and-half sort o
engagement. It was wearing th
girl out, who was querulous no:
when she spoke, and by no mean
easy to please. Poor Eve ransacke
her brain wherewith to charm Nan
She brought her all tho oleveres
books of the day, books that wool
onco have delighted Nan, but no\
she only just looked at them, am
tossed them unread on the flooi
"Presently, however, there came bel
to Eve. "Please, mum, Mr. Por.
ham's regards, and tho flowers, h
says, are for Miss Nan." A larg
fragrant bouquet of white flowers
camelias, jessamine, stephanote:
white roses. A faint tinge of cole
in Nan's pale cheeks. Tho bouquel
came daily, but, nftor a while, as wt
perhaps natural, the messnj
changed. Tho maid said, "if as ho
Miss Nan felt well enough, Mr. Po]
ham would like to como in." M
Popham was by no means a IK
specimen of Nan's numerous a
mirers. An athletic young man, ar
very well made. Ho owed a goc
deal to nature, but his tnilor put tl
finishing touches. Fresh, givit
you the idea of a mun that was fot
of his tub; and bis laugh spoke w<
for his digestion.
"How ill sito looks, Mrs. Ashle
I never saw any one so much change
Not a bit more color than her flo
era."
"I don't care about white flowers
said Nan, petulantly.
"Oh, Nani Don t mind her, 1\1
Popham, she has beeu so ill, y
know."
"I always mind her," said Po
ham.
And Nan, undergoing a sudd
change, caught np tho flowers ai
kissed them. "I don't mean it
the least," she said, holding ont h
little hand lo him; "not in the ve
least. Say, you know I don't."
"I know you don't. What flow?
do you really like. Miss Ashley?"
"Poppies," said Nan, and so lo
as they lasted, Mr. Popham wt
nbout with a field flower fastened
his coat, although it must bo own
that he picked out the little ones.
After whioh, Mr. Popham's via
became frequent, and, about t
same time, Nan's elastic spring w<
np, and the sun-shine of hor natl
returned. AH thoughts of Cav<
dish seemed to have fled from 1
mind, or the veil of aeparath
through which abe now saw hi
throw a general indistinctness. A
ao, because a blue, soa uow io.
between them, Nau turned ii
Cavendish to the fair-haired sui
standing ready by her side.
Eve did not approve of it, thou
she would no? forbid auythiug t
gave Nan back her old animati
She bad no especial dislike to Pop- ]
ham-liked ! him, indeed, for his 1
kindness to Nan; but her syinna- (
thia* wero with the absent lover
partly, no doubt, because of his
abaenoe. But Popham, one day,
ofitnbiojj N&u alone, made aa open
confession of his love. And Nan felt
pleasantly towards Popham, even as
she had done towards Cavendish,
and felt no inclination to tell him to
doaist.
"If yon can love me," said Pop?
ham, "I shall stay here, of course,
aud bo happy; but if you cannot, I
must leave the placo. No; don't
answer mo now, Nan; I shall know
to-morrow. If you mean rae to stay,
yon must wear a red poppy in your
dress."
The next day, Popham haunted
the iiehls, long before tho hour that
Nan and Eve walked; but, at last, he
saw them-Nan in the bock-ground,
with her eye-lashes lowered, and her
cheeks as red as the poppy in her
dress. Ah, Cavendish, smoke at
your ease, or ilirt, if you will, with
the black-eyed belle-there need
nothing now bind you to England.
And what possessed Nan? Remem?
ber tho title of tho sketch. Tho girl
was rudderless. Every impulse that
she felt, she gave way to.
But now, how was it that, with
two such lovers U9 Popham and
Cavendish, poor Nan should present?
ly have been no better off than many
a girl who had not even had one? I
am afraid it was that sho had the
fault of
"the Dutch
Wliich is, giving too little and asking too
much."
Any way, Cavendish, on his return
at last, chancing to fall in with Pop?
ham before he met Nnn, heard-and,
forj tho matter of that, gavo-such a
dismal account' of Nan's conduct
throughout, that the result was, both
meu gave up their pretensions to ber
hand-though, as Cavendish said
when again ho met her, he had some?
thing to do not to recommence woo?
ing os of old. For one especial point
in Nan, was the value that she set on
what was passing out of reach. But
Cavendish was aware of the almost
magnetic power Nau possessed, and
would not put himself in her way.
Popham, too, was perplexed at the
whole revelation, and no longer
anxious to undertake Nan. So both
men absconded. Popham scorched,
yet, happily, open to consolation;
and Cavendish heavy at heart and
bitter in his words, yet still tender
over a locket that hung from his
chain, and which contained a little
miniature-a fuco set round with a
long sunny curl, eyes as blue as a
summer's day, looking reproachfully
out at him, and lips that seemed
struggling to plead their own cause.
Underneath, were three golden let?
ters, which, put together, spelt NAN.
* ? ? * *
' Mamma, did you ever know any
other girl so bad?"
"hush, Nun."
"Mamma, no one else ever has
done us I've done-so foolish, so
vain, so weak!"
"You are always my darling, Nan."
This was in the twilight, Nan lying
all down on tho floor, her brown
bend resting against her mother, thc
fringes of her eyes turned towards
her.
"Mamma, do you remember when
?I was a little girl, how you used tc
give me texts? You never gave mc
minc, mamma-the one thut applier
to my life."
"What is it, darling?"
Aud then, in the darkness anc
quiet, and even whilst Cuvendisl
held her locket close pressed to hi?
breast, Nan's quivering lips pro
nounced her own sentence-"Unsta
ble as water, thou shalt not excel."
"Oh! Nan, Nan, you will break in2
heart.'1
"If I were to die, mamma, yoi
could write nothing else up agaius
me."
"They shall never write it up
Nan-never, never."
How dreary it all seemed to Eve
It was young Ashley's daughter, thi
sad, littlo girl, who was thus speak
iog of her life ns all past. So tb
years rolled on, and, even as the;
passed, there came news to Applede
combe. Popham, that same Mr
I Popham who long ago had worn
field-flower in his coat in honor of ;
sweetheart, was now bringing hom
a young wife to walk in thoso von
lanes where he had onco walked witl
Nan. Nan took it very quietly-s
quietly that people put forth an ol
idea, that "that pretty Miss Ash le,
had no heart." She was still "thu
pretty Miss Ashley," though th
aspect of her beauty was perhaps
littlo changed. There were fewe
dimples round the month, and it wn
only on rare occasions now that th
old light flashed from the eyes. Ye
still, after all, it wis Nan-Nar
sweeter in her saddest moments thu
any other girl at her brightest au
best.
Mr. l'opbam's.bride was a very oi
dinary young lady, with not ha
little Nan's attractions; but then sh
bad not played fast and loose like th
blu.v?ved girl, who, with her raothei
??MS uni*Mig tin- first to call ?>n til
bride. Nun had insisted ou p-yiu
this visit, and, as Nan's word wu
law, Eve had to accompany her; an
thus, mach against her will, she wu
again brought into contact with
quandam friend. Both Popham un
Nau behaved very well, but Eve fe
constrained, and was glad to get her
daughter oat on the cliiTs, that took
them.ft ?hort cut bock to thwir side of
Appledecombo. The moon had sil?
vered for herself a bright path across
the vf*' >TR, and Eve's thoughts had.
Ra um strayed across the ob??hel
to the . ^ut where her husband had
boen drowned, when abo felt Nan's
grasp tighten on her arm.
"Seo there, mamma, does not
that remind you of mo?"
So Eve looked where Nim pointed,
out ainong tho silver waves. Just
before th m was a clear, bright,
space, and there, emorging from the
darkness, was a little boat, drifting,
with no aim or object, rudderless.
Eve's heart ached with pain. Was
there indeed a resemblance betweeu
the little boat that was tossing before
her, and tho dear little figure that
was clinging to her side?
One soene more, and I have dono.
A hero is coming iuto my stoiy-a
hero who bas been in it before; but
who, of his own accord, dropped
out. He is coming back now, not
that he lins forgotten Nau's sin, but
that he has forgiven it, and the long
?ug upon him grows intense to sit
himself at the helm, and steer the
little lost boat safely through calm
waters to a haven.
So this last picture shows Caven?
dish possessed, at last, of a home of
his own. A house looking out on
tho beech, a garden to which, as tho
night comes on, ho can take himself
and the cigar that is forbidden in
doors, and dream over all the strange
chances of his life. He is not there
now, but leaning over a little table
in tho drawing-room; beside him
stands a blue-eyed girl, and they are
both looking down at a picture-a
drawing-a little sketch mudo by
Nan.
The wreck c f what was once a gay
little boat, tossed upon the waters,
clearly at the mercy of the waves.
Underneath, there is the namo writ?
ten, rudderless.
Not rudderless now. Dearest,
dearest Nan, with all the old charm
round the sweet faco and figure, with
more than the old love shining from
the eyes. Not rudderless now.
And Eve's heart was at rest.
