THE GUARD AROUND THE TOMR.
BT MARY BAYARD CL A UK I'..
What ia this solemn sound v/c hear? > .
It breaks upon a nation's ear
Like Ocean's sob upon the Bbore;
The wail of storms whoso wrath is o'er;
From every lofty mountain grand
It swells and rolls through all the land.
A country mourning o'er its slain,
Who gave their live??, and not in vain,.
Since in its heart their mem'ry blooms,
? Fresh as those flowers upon their tombs.
Their toil iB o'er, their labors cease,
In war they died, but died for peace.'
The bravely fought and nobly fell,
And Fame their glorious deeds shall tell,
"When she decrees a crown of bay
No power on earth her hand can stay
And on their graves a wreath is laid
No storms can change; no time can fade.
- V ' - 1 '* ** I
Where she has placed this deathless crown,
Let woman cast her roses dow n,
And Love and Fame together -Hand,
A guard of honor hand in hand,
Around those graves where herpes lie
"Who fought for right nor feared to die.
MY COUSIN'S LOVERS" T
[i/^ii >-J ULJ > ' > *
My cousin Hortense ?was very hand
some, and a great flirt besides.
1 was a little felftnv then, and didn't
know what that meant, but 1 learned.
Hortense .was a good-natured girl as
ever lived, but it seems ns natural as her
prettincss for a pretty girl to flirt.
My cousin had three lovers. She had
scores of them for that matter, but there
were three who' really seemed resolved
that they woulu not take "no" for an
answer.
First and foremost, because of bis
money, and because my uncle favored
him. wits Mr, Clemens?"Father Luke,"
Iiortehsc called mm in uuiwivii; m..
name was Luke Clemens, und be was old.
enough to be HOrtcnsc's grand father, for
that matter.
Why he wanted a blooming young girl
for a. wife at his, age.nobody knew. But
l;o was very, very rich.
1 Iis house stood on an eminence just,
out of town, and looked like a great
whi'e marble place.
It wan furnished in the mott cxtrdva
?..m:'u and luxurious s!\ I? , and t<> si c th>'
inside of il was enough to umki any w o
inan expire with desire to be mistress1 of
its cbgai.ee.
Hortense could not withstand its fas
cinations, and in tho end she acre, d to
marry Father Luke for the sake of'it,but
not vet.
Kext on the list was Raynall Ford. iCay
nall Ford was French on his mother's
side. He bad long,black hair, silky and
fine as a woman's, and he parted-it in the
middle and combed it ?traigbt behind his
curs as a woman might. It gave him a
very odd look, taken in connection with
bis red cheeks and heavy monatliche.
He had not tho ghost of a chance of
winning Hortonse, though be \vpuhl not
see it, lor neither my uncle nor my cousin
liked him.
Hortense used to say it mnde her shiver
only to look at him, and T was afraid of
him myself. He used to mutter in French
and hiss outsbarp words under his breath
when he was angry, that made me want
to shrink away out of his sight.
Ho was noL welcome tit my uncle's
house, but there was no excuse for treat
ing htm otherwise than couvlcottsly, and
be camq of a line family, so continued to
come and vex my couisin with attebtidns
which bo would not see Were not merely
unwelcome but repulsive.
Hortense bad been to blame in the
first place, for she had smiled on him,
and played, with him at first in a most
unjustiliable manner.
She did all she could to discourage
him, but it was too lato.
Last of all was Phil D?ring, dear old
Phil; not that be was not the youngest of
L thorn all, but that was u fashion Hortense
and 1 had of talking about him. In her
secret heart,* my wicked litllo flirt of a
cousin loved Phil.
But as bo was the poorest of tho lot,
as well as tho handsomest, cleverest, and
kindest; she bad not the smallest idea of
ever marrying him. Phil and 1 were
great friends.
I can't describe Phil to you, hut ho
was handsome?such bright glancing
ff
er;
eyes; such dark waving linir, siieh ti kind
pleasant voice, but with it touch oi'
strength in it that made one think it
w.ould bo something worth while to Iinvo
hi in to loan on if you were in trouble.
With all my cousin's waywardhcss, Phil
Deriug could do more with her than any
one else could.
Milt j 'v t?
He must have known all along that
kIio loved him, for i nsadJcr'lSe?r- him silV
sometimes where she was . in-a gracious
raood^ an^^q^l^^ h][m talk to her: j
"You never wiU'imary Father Lutte,
HortensQ. I know you will not. If you
don't, I will wait."
These words were ovci'henred by a ser
vant,, and-: quoted; against fiiin with fit:11
meaningafterward, hut i don't kndti
:how auy one would imagine auyihijig
evil in them; they were Hpokenso Mwof tly"
and his eye.- reguided my cousin's blinlik
ing, downcast luoo' with ;mch fomlneifc |as^
could have hidden nothing sinivteiv :..]
Hortense must'havc vacillnltjdijS?ji a5?]
what, probably a groat deal, belwr-ep jloSi
old ninuv/iih all his: money, aiplde;i*p
handsome Phil: \
But at la.st, as I .have said, bc^^giij
longings after tho line house, faidfeliof
father's insistuncc, she said yes t$^al! cr
Luke.
riiie told Phil herself, when; tf[oQl :tr
gain was fairly made?(old him will] a""
saucy;cruel laugh, and a mockih'g bright
ness in her bird like eye.-. J '??
Phil turned whiter than his collar.akid
gave her such a look?not a^ word, but
one look, then lie went away, nod; left
me nend her standing together.
Hortense grew a little pale; women
don't feel such tilings ais men do, I think;
they arc sellish naturally, and their edu
cation makes them more so. SjJic looked
down .at me and smiled, and her lips
trembled, but she looked so brightly,
*...?>?.;?;.- ,i.,fi,\?? ?f. "i.?..:i
sorrow, that I turned, my. back on her
and said I hated her. She laughed aloud
at that.
"If you hate me because you love Phil
cousin Hick, here's a kiss for you, and 1
wish I was you.''
And with a kiss she. was gone. 1 ran after
Phil hut T could not tin J him.
Coming back through th s shrubbery,
though, I stumbled almost upon sonie^
body cise^Kaynali %rd.
Tho maii looked^lilie n gh.osl with his
ghastly face, his sei white c-ecth, and his
(laming eyes. His hair look d as though
he'had been tearing it with his bands.
He had got the) iiew*?of,? |It?rtonsc's en
gagement, though who told him of it, if
anybody did, I never knew
He might have gathered it from a
chance ,word or stray look. There was
a dinner parly at my uncle's that day,
and when the company was gathered no
hody was missing but Phil. I To h ad gone
homo. H'oKteiiset was never so gay, 1 am
sure, or bo beautiful. Kaynall Ford,Bolf-|
possessed and gentlemanly, and not look
ing much liko the half wild individual I
had seen in tho shruhberv?win; more
Mailing and nliable, than his wont. His
hair flowed'sleek and shining either way
from the pa tjug, ami on his checks glow
ed two round spots of scarlet that seemed
twin flames. Ho was very merry. So
were they ail indeed.
But f could only think of Phil, when
the ladies and gentlemen quitted the din
ing room, 1 crept away nnd got my hat.
Iloriensccan e to mo a- I was pitting it
on, and asked where I wns'ginng.
"To rind Phil," I raid, ci cely.
And &lie,tliovcr ?us])ectiiig that, he had
gone home, said Softly;
"That is a good Hille. Dick," lind, kissed
me its she had before.. Bui this timasho
left my check wet with tears.
"Shall 1 tell Phil you eiiod?" I asked,
with childi.-h wisdom, and feeling myself
suddenly endowed with new importance.
Ho'teiitc looked haek over her whito
and dinpled shoulder as she was leaving
me, and poohicd to hesitate; Then she
said with a righ :
"Yes, tell hjm, dear: but not thatlsmd
you might."
It wns thick dusk when I reached tho
road, going down the long .dmbbd-ry wnlk;
for 1 was a litt hi afraid.
" Little, did my cousin guess where I vas
really going. Hie imagined that. Khii
was about the ground ..om- wliere, wljcro
as bo was miles away, at his /fathers

not step quicklp enogh (my limbs were
numbed with borrow), he took me in his
arms and strode* on faster than before.
When he put ino down again it was in
my uncle's grounds, though \ did not
know it then, and before he quitted mo
he bent down and said :
"Don't you know me, little Dick ? I'm
Phil Deriiig.
I I fell right down on the grass where ho
[left me, nnd at once became unconscious.
The sun was high when I awoke end
staggered toward the house, and up to the
breakfast room, where my uncle" Was
rending the Times, and Hortense doing
the honors of the table. I shall nover
forget- the startled look sho gavo ns I

It was only natural, I suppose, that I
should add to my already finished reei- |

had a ring like Mr." Ford's.

Ray nail Ford turned upon me, showing
his white teeth, as if he wot:hl haue torn

There was a wild commotian in an in
