Can 1 forget thee, dearest one:
Can 1 forget the hour
IVlieu first we met "neatli azure skies:
Can t forge' your magic power?
A mighty spell has hound me.
That would chain me by thy side.
To linger there for aye, my dear.
Till I'd claim thee tor my bride.
Could you return the fondest love
Ky mortal ever given:
A love so pure that angels all
.Might envy it in heaven'.'
t?ne heart you'd ease of its sad )>ain.
t One soul you'd save from sorrow:
Bui it must come?ah, yes. it must !
That farewell, on the morrow.
Farewell, farewell, clearest love :
1 car forget thee never:
When miles divide us. will you think
Of him who'll love thee ever ?
Farewell my brown-eye'd previous one.
Farewell, for we must part:
Oh 1 would that you could give to me
M hat 1 have given thee?u heart.
SELECTED STORY.
THE LADY OF LAROSE.
Nut many years ape the pay world of
Palis whs excited by a sliango ami romantic
affair. Ell)Hi Lann unt. a young
lady with a splend d fortune, and highly
accomplished in mimJ and mann rs, ennoutircd
to the world tli.it site would be
stow her hand and fortune upou any
gentleman who please d her, hut that he
must he williug, in consideration of her
wealth and other attiacti 'tis, to put tin
with a fare of unparalleled uplines*. \
ccitain time each day was appointed to
receive the suitors nr La rose, M.tdcui ti
selle's beautiful residence in the vio'ni
ty of Paris.
Among the first who resp >ndcd to the
singular announcement was ?ir Charles
Dushingtcn, a young Englishman of
noble family, who had squandered a
princely fortune in the gaming In u-os
of the dissipated capita) of P.auce. 11 ?
eagerly seized upon the oppoi (unity to
mend his broken fortunes, and to establish
himself again ii^tlie w old of pleas
ure. Dashingtou vro* possc'scd ol that
beauty of form and ftfee which attract*
the gazi of artist- and wins the 1 .\o of
women. J lis self conceit l< d him to
suppose thaCuo wooiao could re*ist him ;
and Ttrrttr.ugTt^ ly Tfrvfrni y' nfc*
scut himself before the lady of Limsc
in order to win her hand, and. what lie
valued more, her fortune. With this
object in view he attired himself in a
maguificient suit < f elnthcs. lined a carriage,
and proceeded in dashing style in
search of wealth and a wife.
It was a delicious day mi June, and
the gardens and grounds of Eimse piesented
a scene of ravishing beauty to
the eyes of Sir Charles Ihishingt n. woo
looked upon himself as soon to be
"monarch of all lie surveyed." A tier a
drive of a quarter ol an lornr tluou-h
winding roads, bordered with sweet and
brilliant flower*, and through shady and
cool groves, the superb villa nf l.ir.w
burst upon Irs enraptured sight. A
he drove up lie was met by a s rva..t in
handsome livery, who conducted him
through an elegant marble gallery into
il.o ?nieioiis receiitioii room.

Tito m itolilrns splendor of 11.apu'ju.'iit
dazzled tl.o eyes of Sir ('limlos
Jtashington. Tlio H n.r was romp wd

Melancholy inu-ic, whose origin could
not bo discovered ; table" of pearl and
agate were placed in different parts of
the room, some of tie in loaded with
richly lionud books, and others having
on theui gorgeous vases of flowers, whose
odor pervaded the whole apartment. In
one corner atood a massive cabinet containing
curiosities, and surmounted with
hu: Is of Celt brated authors, ani"hg
whom the Knglishiuau was plca-cd to
see Rhakoparc crowned with iminorttl
b
While lie was admit ing tin* splendid
saloon : door gliiird su't'y hack, and
J'uniiic was announced. Pa-hington
rose and advanced to meet tlio person
who entered, lie was prepared to see
a face ugly, indeed, hut when his eye*
fell npon the frightful features of the
July he Bhrank back with an cxclatua
tion of horror. Her lips w re withered
an J bloodless; her eyes were suit*
deep in their sockets ; her large and
luisbapp n ncse was a revolting <d?j -ct :
? i .. 11
and her skin was as ury anu yciiow u->
an Egyptian mummy.
Withoui appearing to notice I>.islf
iiiglon;; embarrassment, Mini lie welootned
liiin to L ro>e in a tew sweetly"
i-p-ikcn words; and, to his surprise, she
Spoke in Kngli-h, with a slight but
?harming accent; for among many ac-1
fomplishuients of this singular creature
was a ].u feot knr.wledgu of tlio modern
languages, h'ir Charles was fObiewli.it
reassured by her kind we!eome and win
ning voice; and lie succeeded in over"
colli' , or at least concealing, tho (lis
which the horrible ugliness of her
faec lint occasioned. Altai a long pre"
liminny ?oiivir.vilion lie ventuted to
approaoh the .subject which had brought
hi in to f/i rose.
"Mademoiselle." he said, with a how.
' if I <1 i?l not know that the Harden ?d
JM.-n was in \sii. I should think that I
had found it today in your delicious
let:cat. "
".Sir Charles ll.ishingluii is pleased
to flatter my poor La rose.

"Mademoiselle, if is no flattery ; ?lie
beauty and splendor of \our ground
Jar surpasses all my expectations. Oh.
how dream like iny life w uld be, passed
in this lovely spot! With a congenial
companion to share its sweets, this place
would be a paradise on earth."
"What do you moan by a congenial
companion ?" Emilic asked.
"One who poss?ssc* an appreciating
love of nature ; one who tinds a greater
delight in books than in balls ; one who
prefers meditation and study to the
Irivolties of modern society."
"You say nothing ol beauty ; is not
that a requisite?" demanded Krnilie,
who saw the serpent lurking beneath
bis flowery language.
"(jive me the lasting beauties < f the ;
uiind, and I care not for (lie fading j
beauties of a pretty face," cried Lkisli- j
ington.

inir himself from the room. ,
As he crossed the loug gallery to j
reach his carriage he muttered, in a '
, sufficiently !oud tone to bo overheard by i
a servant who had kept close behind 1
lii u:
"Wli >t a monat^t! Put for the gold :

Those reinaiks were duly r> jv.rtcd to j

i.i his hand:

This unexpected termination of his
suit <h'stro\ed all I Washington's hopes of

the wrath that was to come" from tail<

liis want ol s-icoc-,.. lie was persuaded
ilia' the dark clouds wliieli Imvered
over I'im would at l ist lie dispelled, and
tlia' tlie world would acknowledge Iiis
merit. Young S . Aubyn's dreary exi-teiicc
was sometimes brightened by
delightful dreams.
in these exquisite moments his disappointment
was forgotten, and his
cheerless chamber was change.] s a by
magic. II*; saw before biui guHelios of
light, airy be.uty, filled with lovely
women, who crowned him with amaranthine
wreathes as li: approached. One
morning, w! ile Victor was dreaming a
gorgeous dream like this, tec olherial
fabric was sudd nly demolished b)' a
gentleman coming in and exclaiming,
"Victor, would you like to change this

eminence, which was adorned with a
pavilion so delicately constructed that it
might have been the work of fairy hands.
Around and about the spot gorgeous
pheasants and stately peacocks walked,
with pompous steps. At last his eyes
tested upon the crowning glory of the
scone?the superb villa of La rose.
Victor advanced with hesitating steps
to the magnificent porch, where he 1
was met by a servant, who politely iif I

'*1 do not know, Mademoiselle,

I plead guilty to publishing a volume of

"Your beautiful book should have secured

"Am I to understand that Made-,

"I have read and admired it over and 1
over again, and if all the world were!
like me your book would have made you j
ta rnous."
"If all the world were like you this '
world would be a paradise," cried Victor, j
overjoyed to hear his neglected book i
praised.

FAMILY CIItCLE.
Pl'BIKIED Love.?All men and women
must love 'Something. If our
thoughts are pure we love birds, flow
era, and all beautiful things. In their
contemplation we are happy, and there
comes to our brains u steady strength.
It is such a rest from labor to look upon
thp fragrant flowers placed each morning
on our desk?to hear our pot canary
sing his roundelay of welcome?to behold
evidences of thrift and neatness ajl
about as these children of order and sys
tein reward the senses. It is related of
a man that he called his wife who was
a hundred pounds heavier, than he, his
little darling ?his petite pet. People
smiled at him because they did not understand
his actions. He had a warm,
trusting, loving heart, a great, manly
love all about the object of that love,
and so she was his little pet?his darling.
We ire like chameleons, and col
or its wo fired mentally. If we love the
beautiful we .ire happy. If we love the
coarse, the vulvar, the object or influ
enecs that give uo sweet return, life becomes
a blank, the soul cracks and
shrinks into a bundle of nailrods to lacerate
the mental man and we are on the
direct road to ruin. What a beautiful
world this would be if all persons would
only ornament their homes and their
hearts by cultivating and keeping alive
their love for pets, no matter what their
form or condition.
When we Kkalizk Ouuselves.?
As the trials of life thicken and the
dreams of other days fade, one by one in
the deep vivta of disappointed hope, the
heart grows weary of the straggles, nuii
we begin to realize our insignificance.
Those who have climbed to the pinnacle
of himc, or revel in luxury and
wealth, go to the grave at lust with the
poor mcudicaut who begs pennies by the
wayside, and like him, are toou forgot
ton. Generations after generations,
says an eloquent modern writer, have
fell as wc feel, and their fellows were
as active in life as ours are uow. They
I'us.-hu atiiijf an tu|;uij nuiii; uatuiu uuit
the same aspect of beauty as her creator
commanded her to be. And so, likewise,
shall it be when we are gouc.
The heavens will be as bright over our
graves as they are uuw around our
path ; the world will have the same
attraction for offsprings yet unborn, that
she had once for ourselves, nnd that she
has now for our children. Vet a little
while, and all this will have happened.
Days will continue to move 011, and
laughter nn J song will be heard iu every
chamber in which wo diod; and the'
eye that mourned for us will be dried, 1
and will glisten with joy. and even ourj
children will cease to think o( us, and
will not rrmember to lisp our names.?

is the ruin of many of my neighbors;
they can hardly afford to keep a rabbit

eomnton disease of the times, and many
professing Christians have taught it, to
their shame ami sorrow. Good cotton
or stuff gowns are not good enough
nowadays; girls must havo silks and
satins, and there's a hill at tho dressmaker's
as long as a winter's night, and
unite as tlLmul. Show and style and
smartness run away with a man's means,
keep the family poor, and the father's
nose on the grindstone. frogs try to
look as big as bulls and burst themselves.

the ijuestion We have occasionally heard

hundredths of all the Query with
which the W'uncu decorate or load their
persons, go for nothing, as far as husband
catching is concerned. Where and
how, then, do men find their wives? In
the quiet homes of their parents or
guardians?at the fireside where the
domestic graces and feelings arc long
demonstrated. They are charms which
most surely attract the high as well as|
the humble. Against these all the
finery and airs in the world sink into insignificance,

A CONFESSIONCome
and sit beside me, dearest,
1 have something 1 would say, ,
Ere the waiting angel bears me
Heavenward, through the starry way;
Hold my hand so weak and helpless,
In your ftrjp and tender cla9p,
liend your head down closer, darling,
I would speak about the past.
^ >
Of the days when first you brought me,
A young bride to bless your home,
Darling, it was then 1 wronged you,
For my heart was not my own;
Don't be angry with inc darling,
For my life is ebbing fast,
And in a few short hours, *
Death's dark portal will be past.
I have tried to do my duty ;
If I failed in any part,
If I caused one pang of sorrow
To your noble loving heart,
I am sorry for it, darling,
For I love you dearly, now.
Kiss my Imnd and say, forgiven,
Ere the death dew chills my brow.
Oh, my darling, how I love you!
You have been so kind and true,
In your grand, sweet strength forgiving
All my faults, and weakness too;
Through "long days of weary suffering,
You have watched with tender care,
Ever near my bedside, darling,
Or beside my pillowed chair.
And I long to linger with you,
Till your race of life is run,
But the Father's message waits me,
And you know His will be done;
But I'll wait you at the portal,
Of that happy, golden shore,
Till the boatman bears you over,
When your trials here are o'er.
And you will forgive me, darling,
For the wrong I've just confessed?
Ah, I know 'tis not iu auger,
That you press roe to your breast,
And, my darling, you are weeping,
For your tears fall on my face.
Oh, liow happy! when I'm dying,
To have such a resting place.
Fold me closer, closer, darling,
As my pulses cease to beat.
And I cannot see you, darling.
Do you hear that music sweet?
It is sounding nearer, nearer.
And the angel whispers, "come!"
I nm going?good-bye, loved one,
I will wait for you at home.

"The boy stood on the burning deck."
No; not exactly, but on the railroad

along at 25 miles per hour?for it was
down grade and a straight track. "Toot,"
the whistle said, and brakemen sprang
to their tasks. "Toot" again; an extra
turn was given, with passengers looking
out at the windows and the engine was
reversed. Still the boy waved his sig
nal; and with a squealing of wheels
thumping of bumpers the train came to
a halt within a few feet of where that
lioy stood. Passengers thinking that
thej' had, through the courage and foresight
of the youthful hero, escaped
some terrible danger, at once began to
feel for their purses?the conductor
