IN RHETTA'S GARDEN.
It was only a little spot south of the
'house, but violets blossomed sooner
there than anywhere else, and great
bursting pinks made the air spicy while
other people's were only in bud. There
were daffodils in the grassy, lorder,
and blue bells, and blue spider lillies.
There were two rose-bushes, one cin
namon and one damask, while _ ddubje
sweet gilly-flowers sowed themselves
and came up every year along with
mignonette and chrysanthemums. It
was a sweet, fragrant, old-fashioned
little garden, which Rhetta's mother
had tended and taken pleasure in, and
iow it was Rhetta's. There' she
-worked all her spare half-hours, sowing
rand watering, weeding and transplant
ing, till her little hands were brown,
and her checka like her own cinnamon
roses. ' Aunt Dorcas, in the kitchen,
,xsed to wonder "how on earth that
-child could be so 'content all alone out
in her posy bed 1"
But Rhetta was not so orten alone of
late, since they had taken a boarder.
Italph Callender found that the pleas.
antest path to the house lay through
the little flower-garden, and when his
jobs of copying failed to occupy his
time, what could be more natural than
to use his leisure helping the blushing
ygatrdener? It was he who carried away
:all the weeds, divided the white.peony
roots and reset 'them, and dug more
thuroughly than Rhetta evsr could
ar:mund the dear old rose-bushes. Over
their work they fell talking, as young
people will, and already Rhetta's father
began to watch them a little anxiously
above his spectacles as he sat on the
'tperch, while one of the neighbors had
remaiked to Aunt Dorca, that it was
a pity that young Callender was not a
man of fortune as well as of family.
In truth, riches had taken unto them
selves win'gs and flown away from the
Calleuders a year before, so that Ralph,
Insteadi o* becoming junior partner in
'an ok'i and p)rosperous business, saw
-nothing before him but what his two
'hands' could earn, and being totally un
prepired for such a prospect, he had to
'take a little time to get used to it, and
t'o:a nd out which way to turn. Mean
-while he had drifted to this suburban
*town, and waitig to find a situation as
clerk or accountant, did copying to
~support himself, and boarded at Rhet
'ta's.
I.t was the day they had, been' trans
planting touchi-me-nots, and Ralph had
bhrown himself down under tihe plum
* tree for a respite, while Rhetta pulled
the faded biossoms from a primrose. He
* might have been misanthrophic enough
at that moment if he had chosen, for
the last line of copying lay upon his
"table finished, with not so much as a
'hint of an order for any more. Worse
than that, a clerk's place he had been
hoping for had that very morning b'een
given to another, If he had got it, he
could have spoken to Rihetta at once.
* ~ Is glance followed her as she bent
over her plants, her garden bonnet
.dropping back from liar bright brown
'hair, and his fingers sought instmne,
Lively a little ring that hid in his vest
pocket. The 0old Callender pride had
*come to this, that he only waited for
4the barest chance of being able to earn
a living before he offered heart and
hand to pretty Rhetta Wood, whose
'bonnie face was all her dowey.
But ho could not help letting love
color his wvords a little when he said,
presently, to Rhetta, as he watched
her: "When I make my fortune, you
shall have green-houses and hot-beda,
and gardens laid out on terraces."
-"I4ke Colonel Porter's?" laughied
Rhel,ta, blushing over her trowel.' "Oh!
have you ever seen his place, Mr. Cal
'lender? It's over on the west side."
"I think I have passed it," answered
' the young man, indifferently. "Big
'trees, three terraces, ribboin beds, and a
-peacock on the lt4wn; Is ,that the
. -place?""
"Yes: isn'6 It splendidi" 'exclaimedl

Ralph far from her quiet, even life, and
to set him where she had no pa'rtt
The basket phaeton- was now seen
returning down the stret with' ts
pretty occupant, who stoep'ed her po
nies opposite the cottage with such an
evident int@ntion to speak to Ralph
dallenderithat he at once went out of
the garden and stood in the road at her
side. Rhetta saw them shake hands in
the most friendly manner, heard Rose's
musigal laughter ' and 's*reet voice,
though she could noti distinguish the
words, and in a few moments more, to
her surprise, Ralph stepped into the
phaeton, sat down by-Rose, took the
reins in his hands and drove rapidly
away, with a backward glance and
smile, which to Rhetta seemed to say:
"she is an old friend, you seel"
But when he did not cO)me home to
dinner she thought it strange. Her
father a'l Aunt Darcas made no coin
menet, for RLlpli had often been absent
at thatMhour when} seeking for employ
ment. t'Rhetta d,id not mention that
he drove away with Rose Porter, but a
neighbor, who hail watched them,
came in during the afternoou and spoke
of it with great interest. Aunt Dorcas
at once felt a great 4interest too, pnd
Rhiett found it'so iryinq to osten to
their 'remarks and surniises tbat she
slipped out of the house to her garden,
and did hard weeding in her flower
beds for two hours without sparing
herself. But she heard every step that
passed by-on the sidewalk, and knew
that Ralph Callender did not come.
The afternoon waned restlessly away.
He surely would come back by supper
time; and Rhetta, in a fresh gown, with
pansies at her belt, hummed little songs
as she moved about setting the table
fQr Aunt Dorcas,
"I wouldn't put on that dish of
honey," Aunt Dorcas-.--"not till you
see whether he's'coining."'' '
"Oh, he'll come," said Rhetta, but
she stopp)ed singing,
Mr. Wood cam'e in, washed his face
and hands at the sinic and sat down in
his place at the table. Aunt Doroas
passed him a cup of ten.
-"Where's Qallender?" he asked, look
ing around.
"Why, haven't you heard?" said
Aunt Dorcas. "He drove off with
Rote Porter, and we haven't caught
igtof hini sinde.",.
*"The Porters are old frienfas Of this,"
said Rhetta, flushing up.
"Hum! hum!" muttered her rather,
as he drank his tea from the saucer, in
which lie had cooled it.
Aunt Dorcas now questioned the girl
as to all sheknew about this old friepd
ship, and at the close said, with the air
of oi e Who meant to do her d,ty by all,
nio ratL er how mercilessly: 'tWell, like
as iit' they'll. hake a smatch of it.
Birds of a feather flock together."
Supper was over, cleared away, and
all the dishes washed, but still Ralph
Callender did not come. As it grew
dark, Mr. Wood strolled off to chat
with the neh~hbors, and Aunt Dorcas,
putting on her bonnet and black silk
shawl, wept te the;w,eekly prayer meet
ing. Rhetta,'left fr'ed from comment,
went up into her little garden, and
leaed against the plum tree, with a
strange dull pain gnawing at her heart.
It seemed like days and iveeks since
Ralph drove away withi smiling, pretty
Rps? Porter. And she herspit has be.
gnn to think of him' as somehow her
own. That very morning, under that
very tree, there had been .in :his looks
and in his tones touches of tenderness
that had filled her heart with stybtle
happiness. But now it was all over;
in an instant she had lost him. Rose
Porter had taken him away,' and
though lie might come back, he would
never, never be the same .Rslph again,
She felt a girlish certainty of that.
The little bright dream was over.
A t brat she did not blame Rose. Very
probably she had loved him two years
ago, and had b?en til e
now, regretting tiid6
reclaim him. -

"Oi4, how beautifull how beautifull"
mut%Jred Ithetta, very softly and
gently. She was wholly overcome by
this strange 'ending of her passionate
grief,
The qoachman departed, leaving the
two lovers alone in the moonlit garden.
Lovers they were, for italph drew

placed, upon her finger the ring that

Aunt Dorcas, hurrying home an hour

ate. is it a -wonder that the river
rushes like a mlll race? From its
source to its mouth, 188 miles in a' bee
line, io. descends 8,000 feet. Its very
name "Yarden," in Hebrew signifies
descent. It 'twists and turns until it
'has,"trebl%d .tle naturdllcoufse from
fountain to sea. It rises in its might
a$d'covers tle plain, and drives back
the docks and herds that feed along its
banks. You cannot bridge it; often,
you cannot ford it.
We got out of our clothes, and with
the fresh air of the morning blowing
upon, us. we -passed-into -the cleansing
flood. There was life in every drop of
it. There can be no doubt about it; as a
tonic the Jordag ,Is unrivalled. While
we waded cautiously nearly the shore,
sitting down in the clay bottom to get
ae miuch of the water with as little of
the current as possible, we were startled'
by. a .crashing of underbrush and a
thunder of feet.' Out of the bush
emerged the Russian pilgrims in the
wildest excitement. Each strove to. be
the first to 'plunge into the stream.
Many of them were already half-naked,
and they speedily stripped, and put on
a long, white garment--a kind of
shroud in whicli it is their wish to be
buried-and having immersed them
selves in the Jordan, they toolk off the
shroud, tolled it carefully up, and hav
ing placed it in their luggage, returned
quite naked to pass a half hour in the
river.
Off for the Dead Seal A rapid run
in the fresh morning air over. the
parched plains. Much of the way we
followed the Jordan. bank, and were
sheltered somewhat by the foliage that
fringes it. All this time, though we
could have leaped into the stream
with a hop, skip and a jump, we caught
only occasional glimpses of the river as
it rushed like a mill race between its
steep clay walls, buried out of ight in
luxurious groves of willow. Ugtil we
were aetually upon the shore of the sea,
ploughing through pebbles and soft
sand, we strained our eyes in 'vain to
ward the valley of death, eager to
catch a glimpse of its bitter waters.
Our trail wound through a dense
growth of cane, oleanders, cactus and
tamarlsk. We trotted over the baked
soil in Indian file, thinking of the wild
boars, wolves, jackals and leopards that
prowl in the vale of Gilgal-the vale
that was old compared to the "Gar
den of the Lord." We saw nothing,
not even a vulture, though no pano
rama of the Dead Sea is complete with
out a shadow of his wings darkening
the canvas.,
- Out of the splendid distance, over
the Salt Sea, the Sea of Asphalt, the
Lake of Lot-call it by what you will,
for it bears all these-over the Eastern
Sea of the old prophets, stole the with
ering breath of a furnace. Our horses
sweltered in the heat. There was no
possible shelter near the shore, for our
camp trappings had already gone up
into 'the 'Wildefness.' A"dit into' -the
grumlny a ins L tic waer W:as all 'iye

before we were safely out of it.
The sea near the plain of the Jordan
is shallow. Looking toward the south,
the eye is lost in the profound mistsi
