The houses on the east, or rather
southeast side of lord street opened
by their front and back doors Into
two different worlds, as the liras of
men also do.
One way there was the dusty,
glaring high road, with the street
cars running up to the corner; the
bank, the post office, the shops, the
town putap, and the hay scales, ail
in sight, and constituting what ^few
England people call “the pros
pect.”
The other way, there was green
grass, a sloping bank, the shade of
trees and wild shrubs, secret still
ness and beauty; and the broad,
slow river widened oat above the
dams.
Nohody would have thought it,
going by along the front Nobody
would have thought, that behind the
commonplace village, with its houses
crowding right on to the thorough
fare, was this escape into a hidden
and wonderful delight People did
not remember it, although they knew,
who lived ou the otlier side, aud had
close back yards, stopped short by
the yards of Chaffer street
The little cbildreu knew. Little
children always know.
Half Caroline Whapshare's teach
ing was done, in pleasant weather,
out on the “back slope.” There wss
a real barberry-bush to run around ;
there were beantiAil hiding places
for the chickens, and sly corner* for
the fox. Above all, there was room
for the planets.
Dr. Plaice came through the long
hall of the old boose, one day in
May, drawn by the open air chatter
of little voices like loosened brooks.,
He stood there a minute or two in
the end door, lookiug on at a sou-
derful game—uo lees than the game
of the stars in their courses.
. The roundabout, which dried the
clothes ou Monday, had its long arms
taken out, and piled away beside
the fence. To the swivel at the top
of its centre post were fasteued stout
twine strings, longer and shorter;
and each of those was held at its
farther end by a little scholar, who,
drawing by its tether to a greater or
less distance, and keeping the line
taut, was joyously revolving in a
prescribed orbit, to the time of a
tune which Caroline, seated on a low
stool at the centre, and personating
the sun, sang to them as the music
of the spheres.
Little goldeu haired Mercury, the
youngest pet pupil, Robfo Lewiston,
trotted around close by her feet;
occulted now and theu against her
lap when he grew tired. ; A pretty,
eight-year old *Venus, 'sunny-eyed
and ringleted, came next; and then
a sober, clear faced, pleasant Ruth

sturdy, rollicking, rather nnmanage
able fellow; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
were the big scholars, in (he edge of
their teens. Farther into the space
Caroline did not try to go; uor could
she, without getting into the river.
It was enough for all practical pur
poses.

them little good. Km wine and
brandy were distaatefal. On the
top of Moot Blanc Nature forces s

kindling a fire to melt the lee were
almost insurmountable. These dill)
rulties were enhanced by the extreme

after having descended Into these
abysses, surrounded by nearly per
pendicular walls of fee, you can not
conceive in what manner you shall
escape from them. While progress

that it waa quite a hardy plant, and
that it stood the cold weather well.

His first thought waa of bis wife

ever any party undertakes tbe ascent
of Mont Blanc, there is always n
throng of spectators, not only to
witnesi* their departure, but to watch
them the following day in their wind
ing course—mere dote up <>o the
white mountain side—and to nob,
with peculiar Mtisfaction, their arri
val on tbe summit. In fact, the con
summation of their dangerous expe
dition, though the dangers are tor
being over, probably always gives
more satisfaction to tbe spectators
in tbe valley below than to the ad
venturers themselves. The reader
may perhaps imagine—certainly ire
