Heart* that Hanger. Some hearts go hungering through the world, And never find the love they seek; Some lips with pride or scorn arc curled, To hide tbe pain they may not speak ; The eyes may flash, the mouth may smile, The voice m giddiest mirth may thrill, . And yet beneath thom ali the while, The hungry heart be pining still. These know their doom, and walk their way, With level steps and steadfast eyes, Nor strive with fate, nor weep nor pray "While others, not so sadly wise, Are mocked by phantoms evermore, And lured by seeming of delight, Fair to the eye, but at the core, Holding but bitter dust and blight. T see them from wishful eyes, I mark their sign on fading cheeks, I hear them breathe in smothered sighs, And note the grief that never speaks; For them, no might redresses wrong, No eye with pity is impearled, Oh, misoonBtrueted and suffering long, Ob, hearts that hunger through the world. For you does life's dull desert hold, No fountain shade, no date grove fair, Nor gush of waters clear and cold, But sandy reaches wido and bare. The foot may fail, the soul may faint, And weigh to earth the weary frame, Yet, still we make no weak complaint, And speak no word of grief or blame. Oh, eager eyes whioh gaze afarl Oh, arms which clasp the empty air! Not all unmarked your sorrows are, Not all un pi ted your despair. Smile, patient lips so proudly dumb When life's frail tent at last is furled, Your glorious recompenso shall come, Ob, hearts that hunger through the world. -o DBUIiAH. Sir Thomas Winton and I are fellow directors of. a company which will never, I fear, maketho fortunje? of either of us; but it pays its way-five per cent, on capital, tho salari?s of secretary, clerks and porter, and tl*pv ^ibea^fees ?f the directors, aro always jmnclaally. forthcoming. Now, it is a sidgular fact, that how ever well off a man may ne, a guinea has an attraction for him; and Sir Thomas Winton, When in town, is very regular in'his attendance at the board. The charms of general conversation arc not unknown at those social gatherings, and Sir Thomas and I often discuss our fa? vorite' topipa. He is a sporting character; my hobby is the drama. If I open the eon versation, I politely affect an interest in Derby prospecta; mention the Middle Park sale of yearlings, or inquire tenderly after the baronets partridges and pheasants. If, on the other Land, it is Sir Thomas who takes tho lead, ho inquires what I think of the last new French adaptation pot upon the London stage. And sd a certain intima? cy has sprung up between uo. "AMI?? ?nythi^g^? Aot, Mr. Che? ven?" Sir Thomas asked me ono day early in last Jqfi?n^^; <*I am very much out of practice," I re Idied; "but I used to be a fair average per orraor with tim gqn some years ago. When I get an odd day how, I am apt to be too anxious." "At any rate, you are fond of the sport?" "Very/' "Then you must come down to my place and try your hand-will you?" "You are very kind." "And, if you like a day or two's hunting, for a change, I will give you a mount." "Thank,you; I shall be most happy." "You will not mind coming rather late in the season? We generally have a houseful of young people in November, and I keep some covers unbeaten for tho occasion. And if we have a touch of. frost, there will bc some snipe." I thanked Sir Thomas Winton again, and thought no more of tbe matter. Invitations of that kind are so very rife after luncheon-sherry being a heart-ex? panding fluid-and are so often forgotten, that I never expected to hear again of this one. I was quite surprised, therefore, when a kind letter from Sir Thomas came in No? vember, reminding, me of my promise to .como and Btay with him, and fixing the So t went down to Winton, and found that Sir Thomas had a very good notion of fitting np a country house. Every bed-room had a dressing-room attached, with a bath in it, and hot and cold water laid on ; and a warm bath before dinner, after violent exer? cise, is one of the greatest luxuries in the sybarite's list. Then the breakfast arrange? ments were capital; guests entered the room at any hour they pleased, rang the bell and ordered what they liked, just as if they were at a hotel. But all this, whioh is common enough in large English country houses, does not give the idea of comfort I wished to convey, and which consisted in the ease and smoothness with which tho wheel of the household turned. There was no fuss, or bother, or forced hospitality; but if you wanted anything, you got it at once without trouble or delay. But I am anticipating. I have only just reached the house at present. Mir Thomas Winton was a widower, and bis present family consisted of two daughters, some? where between eighteen and thirty, and a BOB in the Lancers, now at home on leave. There wore several guest:; besides myself Captain Seymour, a brother officer of young Winton's, with a suspected desire of form? ing another fraternal connection with him: "Paddy" O'Brien, of tho Foioigu Office, o sort of social Crichton, and others. Of the fairer visitors, I need only mention one, Ada Dart; for what man of sound mind could notice any other girl when she waa in thc room. Well, Captain Seymour could do so; but then he was infatuated, and not of sound mind-suffering from younger Miss Winton on tho braiu, in fact. It surprised me very ni a c h to eeo the beautiful Ada sail into the drawing-room before 'dinner on the evening of my arrival. I had met her at a dinner party and three bails; I had attended her with grateful humility throughout the whole of a pionio, and her imagn ro*e before me rather more often than I liked. It ia very unpleasant to be haunted by a face, to see it whenever you smoko a quiet, solitary pipo; when yon lean back in a railway car? riage, when you aro trying to get to sleep at night. I really do not know which is worst-to have a beautiful woman or a tune running in your head. Of course, I was not in that absurd state which tho ancients style "enamored," and bhe moderns "spoony;" I am of my age, and despise romance. Tho man who loves \ny ono but himself, or values anything moro than hard cash, is an idiot; and I hope [ am free from any such extreme weakness. But to a certain sort of attraction, or fanoy, ir admiration, I must plead guilty. Mar? ango is a state which is considered by many lard-headed, practical men to have its ad? vantages, and it did occur to me that if ever [ tested them, it would be rather pleasant ;o do bo in partnership with Ada Dart. I had no idea that she was acquainted with the Wintens, and her unexpected pro? vence looked quite like a fatality. If ever, when expecting to find yourself in tho midst )f strangers, you have discovered a familiar ace among them, you may remember what i pleasant revulsion it caused in your feel ngs, and how a mere acquaintanceship lore the look of intimate friendship by the contrast. "What," said I, "do you know tho Wiu ;ons?" "Yes," she replied, looking rather nston shod at my tone; "I have known them sinco [ was quite a titty thing. Sarah Winton is ny great ally." Her reply showed an absurdity aud an indue assumption of intimacy in my excla? mation, which would have been very numb? ing to reflect upon in the presence of most adies; but Ada Dart was like tho sun; it ?vas impossible to feel cold or numb when she was shining on you; and she always shone. I do not believo that she ever snubbed a poor fellow in her life. She would laugh at him, indeed, on very light provocation; but those who would have re? lented ridicule tho soonest in any one else, vero never offended with Ada; no ono ever Frowned at her, or disliked her, or scolded mr, or failed to pet and spoil her, since Bhe vas first placed in tho cradle, I believe. And a ridiculous proverb acserts thal ieauty is only skin deep! For she waf joan t ifni; even other beauties acknowledged ,hat. All they could do was to compare bei with models of totally distinct style, or tc luggest that certain natural charms mighl ie due to art. She was plump and white a.' i baby; each of her large hazel eyes had r listinct soul in it; where other mortals pos tes8ed knuckles, she had dimples; her eai vas a flower, her But I dare not dwell on her charms, so >ray try to imagine them, It is au i m pos libility; bnt never mind-try. I could not remain longer by her side; th? .oom was full of strangers, with many o whom I had to form acquaintance for th? irst time, even the ladies of the house beinj mknown to me. I was eventually pairet iff with a companion who was muoh inter isted in tho Catholic revival, and evidents bought little of mo after making the dis '.overy that I did not know what coloree ?tole should be worn in ember-weeks. linner was spoiled by a perpetual dread o ?peaking with levity of things she rover meed; and if I had not at last happily hi ipon the safe course of violently abusing he Low Church party, I believe that honld have had an indigestion. The place I coveted at the side of Ad )art was filled by Paddy O'Brian, who hai i wonderful and enviable power of showiu, mliteness and apparent attention to th reneral company, while really attachin limself to one selected individual. I ha net O'Brian at tho same parties as Ada, bu lad never noticed any particular attentio >n his part. Now, however, he seemed t >e establishing a flirtation in form, whic vas serious; for a man may go very far in mblic; hall-room with comparative impt lity, but trifling in a country house is a ver lifferent matter. Before tho evening was over I felt certai hat I had no chauoe of "walking over" fe he prize, and also that she was worth wit ling; for Paddy was not tho man to com indowered beauty. Indeed, he could nc ifford so romantic a proceeding. When tho ladies retired, most of tl nen repaired to the billiard-room, whet egars and grog were provided; but the ni; ority were tired, and went to bed earl; caving O'Brian aud myself to finish jame. "Well," said he, as soon ns wo were alon 'I suppose that you and I have been uskc lown here for the same thing." "Oyes; the shooting, you mean," I r< ilicd. "Shooting! That's tho polite way of pa; ng us. They waut us to help them wil heir private theatricals. "Oh, they are going to get up priva heatrieals, aro they?" "To be sure, or you would never ha joon asked to Winton Hall, nor I cithc raith. 1 g >t it all out of Miss Dart." "Who will tell us what to do abo scenery, dresses and all tho little details ?aid Miss Winton, when the family took tl ?tage fever badly last summer. "Don't y? know some ono, papa?" "I have it!" cried Sir Thomas. "Ono 5ur directors is great on tho drama; at len; lie talks of nothing else, and though no* ion..non, that seems to be hin specialty." "But is he presentable?" asked Julia Wi ,on, "Seymour's girl, yon know." "O yes," replied Sir Thomas; "ho h paid up on his .shares, and ho aspir?t lis /t's, and ho has really very fiuo wh tera." "Shut up, O'Brian," said I, "do not fo ofLJy o ur own imperti? ?noe opon the in? nocent. And what were yon asked here for?" "To net, of oonrse. If it had not been for my success in Sir Lucius O'Trigger. at Lady Soak's, A might have been hanged before ever I'd hare been a guest in this elegant establishment. Ob, there's no shirking the truth with me, my boy; no? body does anything for nothing, in this world." There was undoubtedly a sediment of truth at the bottom of this frothy cynicism of O'Brian's; for on the following day, the subject of private theatricals was quietly broached in my presence by the Misses Winton; and it soon becamo evident that their heads, and those of a majority of their guests, were running upon nothing else, so that, oven if tho drama had not been my particular hobby, my sympathetic nature would probably have boen carried away by the general excitement. My theatrical tastes had never yet led me to take a part in any performance; and, indeed, of the ladies and men forming the present company, Ada Dart and O'Brian were tho only two who were not about to make their first appearance upon the stage. Of course those experienced members took a prominent lead, besides being necessarily drawn together iu a confidential way which it was very unpleasant for me to witness. Jealousy and envy so stirred my bile that I was inclined to regret the good old days ol duelling, when I might havelpicked a quar? rel with my rival, and so had a chance ol romoving bim fi om my path. But the way in which the odious Irishman knocked ovei tho pheasants and rabbits, and tho particu? lar snap-shot fired from tho hip, which was fatal to tho woodcock, forced me to owi: that there was a deep truth in the ingeuioui assertion so constantly repeated in news? paper articles, that privato combat is t "cowardly practice." But I had my turn of being placed en rapport with tho entrancing Ada. Tho linc old hall of Winton Park was to be oui theatre, and it was my particular province to take the best advantage of tho mauy nat? ural facilities of tho place; to arrange aboul the scenery; to find out what wcro thi proper dresses for tho plays wo were abou to perform, ?fcc; and, Ada Dart being thi only person whoso counsel was of real ser vice in a case of difficulty, I was perpetually obliged to appeal to her. Dangerously in toxicatiug were those conferences, which, ! confess, I prolongod needlessly; indoed, '. used sometimes to get up a vexatious oppo sition to her wishes, in order to give ou discussion a matrimonial flavor. Heigh-ho The plays selected were "The Belle o Penzance," followed by the farce of "Eye: and Nose;" and tho distribution of part was a work for Job or Solomon, most of th company at first declaring their utter ina bility to take the simplest characters, am coming round gradually to demanding th principal roles. At our first general meetini it really seemed doubtful whether it woul be possible to cast the mildest and lightes of pieces in the English repertoire; but a the end of a fortnight, if "Othello" coul have been rewritten with three Moors, fou Dcsdemonas and two lagos, our little conn pany "had stomach for them all." Whe we came to actual trial, however, the powei of each performer got to bo estimated b the others at somewhere about their rigl value, and we settled into our places accorc iagly. I was cast for Fortescue, which was to prominent a part for my taste; for beside that, on principle, I very much prefer tbs other people should amuse'mo to reversin that proceeding-I hated having so much t learn by heart. That was another odd effect-we a seemed to have gone back to school. A every turn in tho house or grounds yo would come upon a young lady or genth mau, with knotted brows, and eyes fixed o either earth or sky, muttering. "I sa; Cbevors, just hear me my part, like a goo fellow," Capt. Seymour would say. Then yonug lady would make a similar reques and put her hands behind her back whi repeating her task, from sheer force of a sociation. Two to ono if, when playing i billiards, tho striker, after using the lor rest, said: "Just give mo my cue, please somo exclaimed, "Hark, they come!" o "But more of this anon;" or, "We wi speak further upon tho matter." In a little time matters began to rt smoothly, and we had our first rehearse By recalling to mind the different actors bad seen in my part, and in endeavoring imitate them, I succeeded better than I hf anticipated, and gained considerable a plauso. "But," said O'Brian, "you mu shave, you know. Tho idea of Fortesci with those whiskers is too absurd." Now, my whiskers were black, peadar silky, and had cost mo an infinity trouble. It bad taken five years of consta care and scientific training to bring them their present state of perfection. Any o: without experience in the matter wou hardly credit the amount of time and labe not to mention tho mere money that I h expended upon them. Littlo st. ft brushe delicate combs, bottles of a peculiar o moro delicate than is ever used for tho hen and called "Brilliantine," were appropri?t to their service When I visited my ha: cutter, that artist would deliberate for least tivo minutes beforo ho could como te dei m ito conclusion upon tho importa point whether ho should take tho "bend off. When I took my walks abroad at Sci borough, and tho breezes fluttereel th? oyer my shoulders, scornful indeed was t beauty whoso eyes elie! not light up with f miration.as she passed. Even envious ni were unable tn withhold their tribute piause. "Cheven*, my boy," observed R ers, who has spent bis own fortune, and looking out for n wife's, "my figure is woi twenty thousand; but, by gad, if 1 bael ye face-hair, I'd muko it forty!" You may judgo my feelings, then, whet was proposod that I Bbonld shave. I rei dinted ike notion with a. shuddering earnest? ness, which seemed to amuse some of the company, and they all set to work to argue me ont of my objection to the sacrifice. "They will grow agaiu," said one, Miss Winton. "I am sure Mr. Chever's face wonld look better withont them," added the other. .'Yes; there is a particularly fine contour, which is completely hidden at present," said O'Brian. "How do you know that, Paddy?" "Contour or not," said I, firmly, "if you cannot put up with a whiskered Fortescue, some one else must take the part." And to that resolution I stuck in spite of flattery, persuasion, and s?tiro, for three days. And I got it hot, too, at times. First one and then another male visitor was tried in my part and found wauting. On tho fourth morning, after breakfast, Ada Dart expressed a wish to learn how to play at billiards. 0'13rian was not in tho room, and I seized the opportunity of offer? ing my services, which were accepted. She had been singularly reticent on the razor question, a circumstance which led me to hope that she would not have seon the sac? rifice expected from me without a pang; but now while I was engaged in the too perilous occupation of teaching her how to make a bridge, she broached the subject. "I um so sorry, Mr. Chovers," ehe said, "that you cannot take the part of Fortescue. You must change with Mr. O'Brian; that is the only way in which we can manage it, and even thnt will spoil tho play." CONCLUDED IN OUIt NEXT. Burglar Alarms.
