The winter snow fell deep and fast, Perplexing all the April daj, While bitter blew the surly blast Which shook each leafless twig and spray. The little birds were dumb and blue, And chirruped forth no cheerful note, Tha simplest melody they knew Had frosen fast in every threat. Jvst then, beneath theoloudy sky, A little maid demure and sweet, Shot forth, with sorrow in her eye. And skimmed the fields with naked feet. She fled because her heart was sore, And when a bird fell from a limb, She thought of her own grief the more, And Hepped aside to rescue mm. But, when her brother followed toe, And bore her sandals in his band, 3he said: "The cold that chills me thro.," Is in my heart?not where I stand. "For those who hold me in their thrall Have linked me to a loveless mate; No oolder fortune can befall, Since I must love the one I hate." MR DELMAYNE'S WARD. Something mast be done," mid Mrs. Charles. Delmayne, decisively, the girl is getting more reckless every Jay.' What can be doneF" asked Mr. Richard Delmayne, looking helplessly it his sister-in-law, 'we oannot shot ber up in a convent.' 1 'No, but we ean find htr a husband j md get her comfortably settled.' iBut she is too yonog.' ' - u? ?j r 'She win he nineteen in iu?j, ?uu + , married at that ape. It is a preat pity that yu were obliped to receive her into your household, Richard. Guar, rlitosbip over a pirl like Dorothea, was 11 i great responsibility for a bachelor to issnme.' I < 'I suppose so/ was the rep'y; 'bat I < joold not refuse the dying request of ' in old friend/ I 'At first, I entertained hopes that sbs I' would improve by remaining with us/ I' mid Mrs. Pelmayne, plaintively; 'but, I1 is I remarked before, she is wilder than I ' sver.

I r thought it diagraoefnl enough when j < >he donned a suit of Dick's and went!1 ikating on the pond the evening they j > bad that skating party, but this last 11 prank is still worse, if possible." J Mrs. Delmayno folded her plump, 11 white hands and settled herself comfort-1 ibly in a luxurious easy chair, and pre* 11 pared, to enjoy her favorite pastime, I which consisted of retailing Dorothea's [ misdemeanors. 11 'You know Squire Vonsonby has been looking for a wife for a year or I' two?now he ia quite wealthy, is re-1 pectsbly connected, *tid would be a j' very suitable match for Dora/ I j 'Squire Vonsonhy !' pasped Richard I in amazement, 'he is old enough to be 11 her prandfather. and has a married I daughter who is considerably older than Dot/ 1 Well/ replied his s^ter-in-Iaw, I 'Dora needs a husband who is steady J snd sober-minded, she is so flighty her.

'Pot will improve as she grows older, T have no donbt?ahe is vevr merry and thoughtless noir. but T think she will develop into a splendid woman.' Mrs. Pelmsyne cast an uneasy look at her brother in-Uw's face as ahe left the room She had a reason for wishing Dot safely disposed of; she was fenrfnl that Richard might tan in iots wun nin fascinating ward, and that he woald ne er do, for if he were to marry it would dash Mrs. Delmayne's hopes to the ground. She had secretly determined that her son Dick?hia uncle's namesake?should be his heir. Beside, her brother-in-law's elegant residence made a very comfortable home for herself and fatherless hoy, and madams had no intention of losing it; henoe she made the most of Dot's misckieeons escapades. Just as madame's silken skirts rustled up stair* the hall door flew open 1 and light footsteps danced along the passage. Dot 1 Dot!' called Mr. Delmayne, The appellation exactly suited the oung girl who entered. A dsiu'y form, a dnrk. piquant face, lit up with a pair of black eyes which sparkled 'Well, Guardy,' she said, with a saucy smile, which revealed a dimple in each soft pink cheek. 'What?is it a. lcc ture ?' 'Yes, Dot.' replied Mr. Delmayne. gravely, 'I really most lectors you. Yoor conduct to Mr. Voneonby was extremely unladylike.' 'I don't care, Guardy,' cried Dot, defiantly, 'I can't bear old Vnnsonhy, and I atn confident that Mrs Delmayne invited him here to make love to me, so I resolved to frnstrate her kind Intentions. She left me to entertain him all the evening, and I was just dying to finish Jane Eym.' Well, I gave him the laat number of Srr>'bner'? and the Monthly Revietc, and hoped he wno'd entertain himself; hot no?he wanted me to play a panje of cribbape.

He said that sort of mnsio was eery edifying, but it made his head ache, and, he inquired if I could favor him with 'Annie Laurie.' 1 complied by playing 'Yanke* Doodle.' with variations, for T knew he oonld not distinguish the differenoc.

NUMBER 45 A Cure tor Slander. The. following very homely bntsingu* larly instructive lesson is by St. Phillip Neri; A lady presented herself to him one day. accusing herself of being given to Blander.* "Do you frequently fall into rhis fault ?" inquired the saiot, "Yes. Father, very often, replied the penitent Mv dear child," said the saint, "your fault is great, hut the mercy of God is Ml a* J. nil fixator; ror your penance oo a* follows: Go (o the nearest market r?uroha?c arhiokon just killed and still jovered with feathers; yon will then iralk to a oortain distance plocking the ?ird as trnu am alone; your walk finished, roa will return to roe " Great was the astonishment of the ady in receiving so stranee a penance: >ut silencinc all hnrnan reasoning, she eplied, "I will obey, Father, I will >ber." Accordingly, she repaired to he market, boneht the fowl, and set >nt on her journey, pluoking it as she sent along, as she had been ordered. To a short time she returned, anxiou* o tell of her exact new in accomplishing ier peoanoa and desirona to reoeira tome explanation of one so singular. "Ah !" said the saint, "you hare been rcry faithful to the first part of my orlere; now do the aeeond part, and you rill be cured. Retrace your steps, pass brough all the places you hare already reversed, and gather up one by one all he feathers you hare scattered " "But, Father/' exclaimed the poor mman, "that is impossible* I cast the eether* cmreleealy on every aide; the rind carried them in different direciona; how can I now reoorer them V* "Well, my child," replied the saint, 'so it is with vour words of slander, ike the feathers which the wind has w ?
