HU? ?ir.! i m? rr -i 1 i rfm You DIA. Ac children, when we need to play .Upon tho boach in muslin frocks, Ano formed a tangled disarray Of soaking shoes and tattered socks; When norse was driven to complain, And kind mamma BO gently chid, Begging yon ne'er to err again. You aa'i you wouldn't-but you did. When Betiy, whom you worked ao hard, And yet who loved you none the lou, Was pruyc?, so urgently, to guard . A secret from your governess ; You recollect her poazled look. Wishing to do aa eho waa bid, And voice of badly feigned rebuke, Which vowed ehe wouldn't-but she did. That garden party, far the best' Of any X have o cr enjoyed; Wo ?at together, while the rest (Rare chunco I ) were otherwise employed; Though your mamma had talked for hourn, Ana ventured firmly to forbid A tete-a-tete among tho flowers; Toa ?aid you wouldn't-but you did. The things that happened 'neath the shado Of clematis that clustered fair, Tho things wo looked, and thought, and said, And hoped, are neither here nor there. I know not if the day was fine, Or 'neath the clouds the sun was hid; I know to one request of mine You said you wouldn't-and you did. TUB TWO K.I8SKS. I um an old m tin; so old am I that, looking back, life seems Very long, and' jet so short, that I do hot know whether many things did not happen in a dream. I am hale, and hearty, and merry, for the satter of that; and when I laugh, my laugh rings out dearly and loud, they say; so much so, that it makes tho people around, especially my grand-children, and nephews and nieces, laugh too.. And when 1 laugh the old times come back when others, who are silent now, laughed with me, and then I am suddenly still, and the laugh dies away; and when I think of it, its empty cohoes fill my brain just as if it were sleep laughter in a dream. "When I stop laughing so suddenly for the merriment and enjoyment, and, for the matter of that, the grief and pain of old men, are short and sudden, like those of children-my grand-chil? dren, and nephowB, and nieces have a great difficulty to stop, too; and they choke and nudge each other, and say : "That is a good story, uncle; almost as good as the story you told us yes? terday." Told yesterday ! Let me see what it was I told yesterday. How long ago it seems 1 it must be longer ago than the time when I was only twenty years old, a stalwart, brave fellow, in yellow breeches, black leggings, a heavy, brass bound, leather helmet, with a plume tipped with red, and a olanking sword, which I now could not lift with my two hands. I was a royal volunteer then, prepared to resist the French; and I and some of my companions were en? camped in white tents on the coast of Kent. Yes, peoplo think mo very merry. And B>| thank heaven, I am; for I try to stand upright, four-square to the world, ns a man should; but being an old man, I have blank places in my heart now where no love grows; barren spots in my memo? ry, and chilled and numbed parts in my feelings whereto I cannot look back, and whereon I dare not trend and touch, lest sudden pain should como back, like thc shooting of an old, old wound. Been in love? Yes, I should think I have; how else could I have grand-chil? dren, those people who laugh so hearty when I laugh, and make me tell how old I am a score of times, and say how well I am looking. Been in love? I think I was talking of that, was I not? Yes, been in lovel Well, wo did love when I was a young fellow, and I recollect my Alice, and I recoiled her os I loved her when she was very young, and as I love her now. I think she could do anything but drink and smoke or tell nn untruth, or do a wrong action. Her face was a sweet oval; ner hair a very dark brown, nearly black; and her eyes were a deep blue, full of merriment at one moment-ay, at all moments, except when she heard a sad story or was touched with pain for any one else, and thoy grew deeper and deeper as they filled with tears. Not for herself. She never cried for herself that I know of, for she never had a day's illness. But she was terribly cut up when her brother died, and that you see was how I know her. Her brother was my right-hand man in my company. Many's the time he stood shoulder to shoulder to me, good at drill, good at song-good at anything. He used to live near the coast; and, indeed, he join? ed us, and I was one of his tent-fellows, and his chum. Well, he knew the people that I know, and we wore soon friends; and he took me home to show mo Alice. Ho was always talking about her, and she about him; and when he was there, scarce n look did she give me. Her brother-his name was Joe, and mino too-could do everything, and was tho be-all and end all of the world, I used to think; and sc one day I tried to run with Joe, and Joe beat nie, and Alice laughed; and then I Bhot against Joe, and ho beafc. me too, and sho laughed tho more; and I wrestled with him and threw him; she didn'1 laugh thou, but ran to see whether he was hurt, and said it wasn't fair for Joe to tackle a big fellow like me, although he was nigh nu inch taller. In short, ] could not please her anyhow. Well, it was ono day when wo henri] that the flat-bottomed boats of old 1 lon wero not Coming over, and that tht army of Boulogne had melted, bit bj bit, away like a snow-drift, that w< - made r> night of it. Ay, it was a nigh tool and, being hot and in summer, wi uni at need keep up tho fun till tho sui came up over tho sea-coast, looking re? and angry at our folly. Well, Joe am I-the two Joes, as they called us-rai down to the beach and washed our ho faces, and plunged in tho fresh, sal waves, and were in n minute as frosh au : merry as larks. And after dressing, Jo ".must needs tako a walk with mo-alon the edge of tho cliff. Tho seas for cen I taries have been washing that olmlk b?uod coast, and at intervals there, stand op . piU?r|* of -ht-kV With, acas around then?. The people call sachn plfce "No Man's Land," and no man can own it, truly*/ f?>U?' Jp]b ' carno -to dnf of those within a Wmt, 'fl?y twe?ve? ffom tho cliff, and turning ta mc, said, "Joe, Junior"-I think I see his bright fnco now-"I challenge you to jump on that 'No Man's Land,' I do. "Jo?,>* said 1, hurriedly, "don't bo a fool! It inavhe^ would givo way at tho top, and if ft did not,'how could you jump book without a run? You'd be stuck on the top like a mad sentinel or a pillar saint, i'm not going to jump it." "But I nm," said he. Aud before I could stop'him,' if'I'u?ed tried, ho took a run and jumped. r It vina so sudden I could only stand aghast when I saw him there. Ho stood, indeed, for a moment, abd then ha took a' baok step, and wouid have jumped back, when I heard a rumbling sound, and half the top of the "No Mon's Laud" part, and tho chalk and earth, and Joe, too, fell down with a crash ou the rooky coast below. I ran round tho little crock to the other side of a small bay, and throwing myself down on the turf, stretched my neck over, looked over and cried out: "Joe! Are you hurt, Joe?" A faint voice oame up, and I could soe tho poor fellow struggling under a huge piece of chalk, which seemed to hold him down in agony. He smiled in a ghastly way, and said: "Bun, Joe, run! tho tide's doming in I" Well, I did run, and wo got ropes from tho tents, and a few strong fellows held them as I swung over the cliff, just reach? ing poor Joe as the water was'lap, lap, lapping up to his mouth, taking away his breath, . and then running baok, crawling over him, and leaving bubbles of salt foam, as if in sport. I got him out, but he oould not stand. Some boues were broken, and he was badly bruised, so that I was forced to tie him to a rope, and they hauled him up, and we took him home. Well, well, to make a long story short, poor Joe died, with my praise ou his lips, and Alice bowed her head like a brokon lily. It was a long time before she got over it, and summer had grown into winter, and winter to summer, to autumn, and to winter again. The threatening invasion was all over; our swords were getting rusty, our uniforms dirty, and when the holidays came, I left tho firm of which I was a partner, and went to spend a fortnight nt my oki friend's iu Kent. Alice was there, well and cheerful now, and reconciled to her loss, though we often talked of poor Joe, and as the days wore on, we grew closer together, and she culled mo by uame, and seemed to havo transferred her brother's love to me. She never told mo so, or let others see it, till one merry Christmas night, when she rejected all her cousins and ber other friends, and would only dance with me. We had the mistletoe, too. At last, ono madcap fallow proposed that the ladies should kiss the gentlemen all round when and how they could; and Alice should play, too; and she, in a solemn, quiet way, smiling sadly, and; yet sweet? ly, too, took me beneath the Christmas bough, nnd kissed me on the lips. Aye, it's many years ago, but I feel it now. My heart beat BO fast that I hardly dared return it; but I put my arm around her and took her gently by the bay-wiu dow of the old ball, saying as I pressed her band: "Alice, dear Alice, did you mean that kiss?" Well, I need not tell you what she answered. 'Tis fifty years ago, fifty years ago! and I am surrounded by Alice's grand-children, and there is one, a little thing with light and golden hair that will deepen into brown, who plays around my knees and tolls mc ber little stories, her sorrows and her joys; so quick, so hurried in their coming and their going, that they aro liko my own, and as we talk, wo grow quito friends and companions, ns my Alice was to me. Bless you, she understands it ull. She is a woman in her pretty ways; her pout? ing*,'pcttings aud quarrelings. She ma? nages her household of one wax doll nnd two wooden ones, and tells mo-for the wax doll is the lady and tho two wooden ones aro the servunts in mob-caps and stuff gowns-when they gossip with a wooden policeman, who belongs to her brother, little Joe. t?o wo aro fast friends, little Alice and I; and to-night, on Christmas night, I noticed that she would not dauco or piny with the pink and shiny-faced little boys who were unnaturally tidy and clean in their new knickerbockers, with red stockings; but she came and sat by me, and talked softly in tho fire-light, AS Alicu did, and mado mo think of fifty years ago. And only think how old times come back aud new times, like tho old; only just think, that when her mother told her she should choose a sweetheart, she got a little hit of mistletoe, and climbing slily on my knee, and holding me in talk ns if to hide ber purpose, though I guessed it soon, I tell j-ou, she put her little doll-like arm around my neck, and holding tho mistletoo abovo ni}- head, she kissed me again and agaiu, and said I was her sweetheart. t?o this child-sweetheart brought the old times back-the times that are still so distant and so near; und tho sweet kiss beneath tho rustling leaves mode me think of my dead Alice in tho grave.
