The Dead Snuuncr. Ah, how abe came and Went! ?o stealthily That ono can make the short-lived periods EverTwifch their wealth o! blooms, and songs of birds, No other than a dream. And yot tho summer has withhold no gift, Buch as God annually sends. The grate? ful Bhowor, j'" - . ,.?_., The glorious sunshine, and tho healthful breeze Have blessed each passing hnnr. The seed-time and its eli cerf ul promises Of rich reward for labor have boen given, "frith luscious fruits and flowers, like cen? sers filled With the sweet breath of Heaven. Even now, while wrapped ba royal drapery, Lifeless upon her bier tho summer Hos, Tho hills, aa if unconscious of her fate, Still wear their rich green dyes. 80 quietly ehe left us, and so fair The blushing blossoms looked that last she kissed. We did not doom that anywhere on earth So soon sho wonld bb missed. JBnn now the sun-light falls with paler beamB, And sadder looks upon tho fonder grass, And winds, ah, me! tho plaintive, wander ing winds, Chant dirges as they passl While tho lone cricket by my cottage door, All tendency to lighter moods restraining. Breaks tho deep stillness of this autumnal With rythmlcal complaining. . ?Somewhere a snmmor waits that in duo timo Will come and amilo upon this dead ono s sleeping, And open into bloom the folded buds Whioh spring has in her keeping. . And thoso who wait and watch will greet with cheers . Each Joyous signal of her queenly coming, And nature will break out in songs again, 8 weet as the brooklet's humming. Thus one by one the hurrying soasons pass, Bach cycle narrower to our human seem? ing, Til!, glancing backward, lol the brief years lie Liko some delusivo dreaming. Only the good and true, of all our aots, Iiike timid stars from out tho darkness stealing. -Strike their pare lights along tho slopo of j time, Life's real worth revealing. SMITH BROTHERS. BT BAXTH HUMPHREYS. Yon cnn read npon our sign "Smith Brothers." "Smith Bro? thers" heads our advertisements. We have always been "Smith Brothers" at heart, except for one brief space. We are ia tho wholesale dry goods line, as our father was before us When he died he left ns his store and his business, and "Smith Brothers" took the place of the old sign "Jonathan Smith." We were not young when our father departed this life. I, Absalom, was thirty-five, and my brother Abi jab -vas thirty-three. Oar mother died when we were ohildren, and her last charge, as they say in novels, was that we should love each other, and try to console father. We can re member her very distinctly, both of ns. She was a fair little worn au, with a pale face and gentle eyes, of a .ort of a brownish blue. Her voice was very sweet and low, and she loved us as no one will ever love us again. To this day I can recall her cooing, murmurous intonations, as she called us by a mother's thousand endearing names; the warm clasp of her soft arms; the sweetness of her smiles; the delicacy of her beanty, 80 can Abijah. It is not strange that after her death, as our lives ex ?anded from boyhood toward man hood, our mother, as we remember her, became to onr dreaming fancies the type of all that was lovely in woman. The fnture wife, of whom 'We both dreamed, was a little, fair -creature, with brownish bluo eyes .weet voice aud tender smile. We used to talk about her freely with each other, and tho one who found his mate first was to marry and tako his brother to live with him. It was a queer life whioh we led all through our boyhood and young manhood. The servants who had lived with us at my father's death two staid, church-going spinsters, all lineB and angles, and a gray-haired .ervin gm an, who looked like the very incarnation of the family respectabil? ity. Besides these we bad no house? keeper. My father did not like a stranger about the house, and him? self bestowed upon the domestic affairs the slight amount of supervi? sion necessary, until I bpcime old enough to relieve him. We went to school till we were shy boys, nud, .besides each other, made no intimate friends. When we wero sixteen, our father took us into his store. This pleased ns vastly better than a longer school life. We were contemplative, rather than communicative, and we used to like to sit, when the duy's work was over, and look from an upper win? dow down the harbor and watch tho .hips ooming homo, bearing to tem? perate New England, oriential musks .nd spices and essences; shawls and robes wronght with many a strauge Eastern device-hints of acacias and Indian palms and dusky women rov? ing under them. I speak foi us both; oar tastes were as one taste; what one liked, tho other liked also. We used to assooiato the gentle wo? man of our dreams with all our oriental fancies. She should wear tho bright-hued silks; fold her light figaro in the quaint, rieh shawls; hour ?he odor of tua spices in her soft hair .and the folds of her garments. But.when my fathor died and,we ?ot along into our thirties, wo were no nearer the dream wifo than in our boyhood. Wo saw no company save the people we mob in our business. Year in nod year out, no female foot? steps lighter or quicker than Jane's ana Hopsibah's ? ever .wandered np and down the stairs, in and out of the rooms of our spacious, old-fashioned house. We dreamed of the future still, with the shy tenderness of our boyhood. We did not at all realize that wo were growing old, growing away from the possibilities of youth and beauty and tenderness. Our life had boen so quiet, so barren of events, that it seemed short urcon soious of tho hostages time was leav? ing with us in tho8hape of gray hairs and wrinkles. It was a sudden shook, rather thau a bitter grief, when our father died. His heart had been buried, twenty five years ago, in the grave of our -mother, and, since that time, though kind and just to ali, thero had been no sun to melt for bim tho ice of life's long winter. Wo lovo him. Thero was a saddening sense of loss and absence when we looked at his vacant chair at homo, or iu his count? ing-room, when we saw "Smith Bro? thers" ou tho sign, in piaco of the honored name which had hung there for forty years, but thero was none of the anguish of desolation which rends tho heart when ono is takon whom we loved, who loved us. "It would not have been right tc marry while father lived," I Baid to Abijah, ono evening, as we sat bv the library fire. "It would have pained him to bring a wife home whore mother died. But now-" "Yes, I think it is time now, bro? ther Absalom; but of courso wo must wait till our year of mourning ii over." Oar eyes mot each other, and w< smiled. Wo made no confession ir words, but tho truth came homo tc us both that we had lived so long ou of the world, it would bo a work ol more magnitude than wo had real ized, to go into society and choos< tho household angel we both coveted And BO it went on foranotheryear tho houso quietand silent ns ever; th? old servants; and "Smith Brothers' growing old 'together. Our fathe had been dead something over i twelve-month, when thero carno to u a letter superscribed in a femal hand. It was a very unusual event and wo speculated a little os to it possible origiu before we opened it It proved to be from a lady of whon wo had often heard us our mother' most intimate friend. This was wha it said : "I write to you, gentlemen, a surely Mary Chelmsford may foe privileged to write to the children o Margaret Smith. Your mother am I loved each other with a tonderncs deeper than most sisters know. Al that one woman could have done o ventured for another Bho would hav done for mo, or I for her. Since Bh died I have seen neither of you, bu I remember the promise of your boy hood. Yon, Absalom, badi your mc thor's smile, and you, Abijah, you mother's kindly eyes. I will believ that you both inherit your mother' tender heart. At any rato, this is m only hope. Under heaven, I hav nowhere else to turn. I am dying i a strange place, of slow desline, goin to join my husband. I have no nea friends or kindred to look to-onl you. I am not harassed by an anxieties for myself. My soul is c rest, for I know in whom I have b( lieved. I have property enough t make my last days comfortabli and to leave a provision for my on] child, my daughter Margaret, wh was named for your mother. It is i her behalf that I appeal to you. SL is not much over twenty, for I wi not married till late in life, son: years after your mother died. SI has a gentle, loving nature, whicl save at her father's death, bas nev yet been subjected to any of tl harsh discipline of life. It is fro this that I beg you to save her. SI will not suffer from any bodily want but do not let her soul starve. DOD let her feel herself friendless, lone and loveless in life. By this time 01 or both of you must surely ha1 chosen some gentle woman to ble your home, who will not refuso a m thor's welcome to Margaret Chelm ford. I will not urge my entreat I know that to mako it at ull to yoi mother's sous will be suilioient, you have it in your power to comp with it. I am able to write no mor but I hope to hear from you before go hence. Address Mury Chelm ford, at Oswego, New York." We wero of ouo mind and 01 heart io the matter, my brother and If Mrs. Chelmsford would confide h to our oare, the daughter of our m thor's friend should seek no farther f a home. I do not think tho prospe at first afforded either of ns mu pleasure. A young lady in our ve house wouli sadly disturb our wont quiet, especially if she wore fond guyety, and wanted to go into soc: ty. But neither of us felt any he tation "s to what waa to bo be dou We r< ed not to trust to the dela and ctn. ices of a letter. One of would remain at home, to suped tend business and make ready for t reoeption of the you og lady and L mother, if we found Mrs.kCbelmsfo ablo to travel. The otlipr w?? groceed at once to Oswego. B rother insisted that this latter du " and I n my journoy the next morning, j: reached tho village among the lakes, I fonpd tho invalid more feeblo tuan I had expected. She had evidently noe many days to live. I resolved to remnin till all was over. She. welcomed me with feverish eagerness; entrusted to my care all the papers which concerned her daughter's inheritance, leaving the settlement of her affairs in my hands. I bad somo hesitation in proposing to her that Margaret should reside, henceforth, with my brother and my? self; some donbt as to whether she wonld not think us too young to re? ceive such a ward. I was glad to find that she saw no impropriety in it. I suppose I did not look at thir? ty-six, very dangerously youthful. She accepted my offer with tears of joy and many thanks. It seemed to have been the one pang of her doatli struggle, that she must leave her daughter so lonely in the world. Now she was ready to depart. "I know you will bo a brother to hor," she said, holding my hand, on the day she died. "I have no fears about her, and I am very glad to go. Lifo is so weary at best, aud so many whom I loved have gone bofoi e-my husband, tue little boy, my first child, who died in babyhood, and my mother, my truest friend. Moro ure there than here."
