GROWING" UR - Corinne Marshall was tho brightest girl ia I the school district whore ber father's large, ? . stony farra was situated. Ker mother had j read a translation of Do Stael's furious rc- ! macee, hence her daughter's name, giver? I with many wishes feat the little maiden I might grow up to be something out of tho common order. At 6 she studied grammar, sad spelled the big boys and girls "down" at an old fashioned spelling school; plainly there could be no question about her bril? liancy. There was a farmer's boy as well as a farmer's girl; there always is, only the boy ls ?pt to be, if more solid, not so ready-not io "smart,'* as the New England expression fcu Ko special star bad shone over the boy's S frsjtfo?-*?? foot, and he was named plain Job --Job Austin. Job's father was ia standing and prop? erty about oa .an equality with Co tfamete, bat the little fellow was no match fer Corinne. However, tho young Job lifted bis gray eyes to tho "brightest - giri*1* drew ber on his sled, "towed" ber on the ico? brought ber peppermint drops and licprtce stick, and carved various toys for . beratodd times, such as bedsteads for her dolls, and a set of wooden dishes for their .taat^blo. Whfic Job was still struggling, in his old clothes, "with "chores" at home, and un ^-toowamiantities at school, his little favorite was sent to live with her cant in the village, a dozen miles away, for tho sake of greater educational privileges. There tho smart girl ?Bvekroed rapidly ?ho sexm showed a ro Bmrfcubte gift of expression, and ia the de? partir, erct of composition eas?y ted ber School, h?osme the editor of the school ?p?aperT** the president of a literary society, end withal a very careless student. To heep up in her classes required no effort; and she tcU into the error of thinking that success would coane to her without hard work. In the meantime Job showed a patience equal to that of his widely known namesake. Beeitrected roots, cubo and square, to say .nothing of ,4grubbmg" roots on the oki farm; and every step he toot he cleared the way of all diincultles. Iso half way work ^or ?loo. He was still awkward, ill dressed, hesitating, and ho blushed furiously jest at the times and on the occasions when fae most desired to appear cool and collected. Many a time he had begun a lefter to Corinne, steting at his desk at noon time, or siter Behool, anxiously trying to composo a docu? ment worthy cf so bright a being. But, though as patient os tho original Job, be never neceeded id finish inga letter that bo though: goodenough. At last a tum enmyn tho tide of Job's life. A literary gentleman in Bagdad, the village where Corinne was living ct ber aunt's, offered to "board and school" him ia return &r such bebj> ns the boy- could easily give iring ead evening. Ile was to enter the school, and on examination was found ready for tho intermediate d?partaient. Corinne was in a private school for girls. It was'notlong before tho two old friends met in the street. Corinne was with half a dozen gay*echool girls. v **Wkv> is that fellow with hayseed in his faairf.asked one of them, cs Job came to? ward them smiling and blushing Corinne bowed coolly, pretending not to soe the out? stretched hand, and hurried on. ?*A mistake," she said. "I look like dozens Cf other people, it seems." Corinne justified thia story to her conscience cn the ground ?hat Job had really made a mistake in sup? posing she was going to keep up the old Job thought, generous fellow, that it was a veritable mistake. A little near sighted, he often made mistakes of identity; and he . promised himself*to look more carefully next time he net a group of young ladies, blush? ing the deepest pecnyred in thinking of his . boldness, Corinne noweriered upon a new period of ber aspired career. She wrotea poem .'Sitting bx her room after study hours, with her hair down and ber hands pressed to ber temples, ?fce?lowtj" evolved the vroixircus tuing. lievtr astonished she was to find that she. Corinne I Marshall, could actually weave rhymes and Sentiments and Sowers of speech like tho real poets whom she worshiped afar oSl She showed tile celestial manufacture to her own special giri friend, Cecilia Hopkins. It was on? of those twilight hours cf loving com? munion over the dre, when, with arms around each ether 3 waists, school giris tell the dearest friends everything, that tho .poem was brought out and read. Cecilia was m raptures. She always knew ter darling Corinne was a genius. And where would she send it? "Send itr **Yes;-to rrhat magazine or newspaper? Sorely the world should not bo deprived cf such a gerar1 JSow, tmkaown to Corinne, tho gentleman With whom Job was living was the editor of The Bagdad Carrier Dove, a sheet devoted to news and elegant culture. ?TU send it to The Dove," said Cortone. after her friend had left her to the literary leisure ?be longed for. ''Yes, to Thc Dove, CS whose white wings it shall bo wafted far away to meet kindred hearts." Carefully was tho poem ccpi'd and re? copied, till, in appearance, ai least, it was worthy of tho classic name signed boldly at the close, in the chill dusk cf a winter even? ing a young girl might have boen seen walk? ing np and down the street, casting longing glances ata lamp post; for the author's beart failed ber at the last moment. But the appearance of a teacher brought matters to a crisis, and the envelope weighted with destiny was dropped through the iron slit. The boy in the o?ice of The Dove, by this time highly prizad by tho editor, recognized tb? old time quirks and quiris, tho toils of titofrfc?ndendows,and tbe heavy shad tag of the upward strokes.

As ior Corrinne, she is at home on the old Stony farra. Her mother is dead, and she is ber father's housekeeper. She bas taken a tom de plumo, for repeated experiences of "declined with thanks*7 have made ber d<-sire to hide h<r identity. Nevertheless, vert : ?a successes have kept her in kvart and hope; and ns she is yet scarcely twenty? she still looks forward to a dist i ti gui-bcd llt<rary career. Ia the meantime a new light bas arisen. Par and wi*le the letters, storiesaud scientifl1 articles of Lew Etoile are known and ad? mired. It is announced that he is to cstab lish a journal, called Tho Peep! .. irs a town nota thousand milesfrom the SiarshaU farm. ." Corinne, on the lootoiiffor ne*a worlds to conquer, sar?: "There ls u cha: ce f r rae." 8be prepares a piece of verse, elan- te, ro mantle, and not without merit sends it, with a noto inclosed signed by her own name, to the great. Mr. Eto?o. Then through weeks of suspense she waits. "It's come baek," shouts her heartless little brother, swinging a letter over Li-5 head, and quite regnrdl'-ss of the presence of a neigh? borhood g^-ip. "What makes you keep a-eendfcV st?fT to the editors f saes her s>.'er. an enf ant terri ble, who is great in mathematics and de? spises ber ?pider^i^ris name and pretficsions. Cerinnetakes the letter humbly anet }?ut/ it hi her p*?ckoi. By and by sh?> goes Out iutv> the blossoir.ing orchard an i opens the edi "torial envelope, walking up and down under ] tho fragrant tress. There i; the poem in j which so much hope had been folded, and a long letter in a bold, firm hand. "Miss A. B. C. shows facility. Thore nra hints of talent. Will she oblige the editor hy writing an article on- some subject of which she has knowledge- positive, clear in? formation P' The letter went on with kind, discriininaung advice, worth moro than gold to a girl like Corinne. "Write about something of which I have knowledge!" repeated the girl, stopping.to break a branch of apple blossoms. "What do I know?" She looked into the tinted cups as if for an answer. 4-I dont know any? thing," sho said presently, throwing herself down upon the turf in sorrowful abandon; "but I can learn." This correlative came after a burst of tears and an hour's reflec? tion; A few days after this Corinne received by mail a treatise on the keeping of poultry, which she herself had ordered This she set herself to study, and soon became interested in details of breed, feeding, bousing, eta All the books and newspapers of importance bearing on the subject Corinne read indus? triously. Then came practical work. After six months' experience tho young lady wrote a modest article on "Poultry Raising," and sentit to The People? A cordial answer was received with a liberal check-Corinne's first compensation for literary work. To tho old orchard trees the girl went in her excitement and joy. They were bare ; empty nests hung from their boughs; and the dead grass about them was flecked and patched with snow. But io Corinne's heart there waa summer. Mr. Eboiie's nov? was so kind, so encouraging; be praised her style, b? suggested books for her to read; he promised, If she worked and studied, a nobie success by and by-oct necessarily to poultry articles, though said articles suited Tho People to a dot? and be wished more of th?m. He napped various books on industrial subjects-bee raising, silk spinning, flower culture, etc and advised a reading up of the subjects and articles on the same. "In tho meantimes" said he, "keep your eyes open. There must be much in your country world worth writing about In some out of door searching, a real poem may show itself in moss or lichen, the glance of a little wildwood dweller, or the flash of a jeweled brook." * ; It wes a year from tho time that Corinne questioned the apple blossoms in her despair. It was noised about that Editor Etoile was visiting in the neighborhood Corinne's inti? mate friends, the "heartless brother" and the enfant terrible included, began to anticipate a triumph for their friend and sister. She was a correspondent of Lew Etx?i le's-a favorite contributor to the The People. Ko one else with so much righflpould aspire to the great ulan's favor. * In the Cjpurse of time Corinne was invited to a garden party to mhet the star. The hour came, and the editor was introduced* Corinne stepped forward eagerly, all smiles. The gentleman bowed politely, exactly as to twenty others to whom he had been present? ed The whole company, looking on, under? stood Corinne^ humiliation. Sho soon slipped away, and on reaching home went wandering under the blooming orchard trees. "How naadsorae he isl How distinguished bis stylel Nobody at the party could com? pare with him. Only a little older than I; and he bas almost a national reputation I" So Corinne mused, as she walked up and down the fragrant, wind blown alleys. By and by she seated herself, and, taking pencil and paper from her pocket, began to scribble, as the best way of forgetting her disappointment Gradually a sense of the ineffable beauties . of her little corner of the earth stole over her. Soft, fragrant air, azure sky, white banks of vapor, rosy shapes of bud and bloom, the humming of happy in? sects, the trill of home going birds, the lovely greenery of notched and scalloped and bindo shaped leaves-all met and mingled in her soul, producing a sort of ecstasy. Her thoughts began to take rhythmical form, and st genuine poem grew under her almost un sonsciocs hand As she sat loaning against a gnarled old trunk, pink petals nestling in the crimps of ber black hair and in the folds of her palo tduo gauzy dress, she made a charming pio iarc. At least so thought the distinguished r'3Ir. Etoile," corning gently along the or? chard path, his footfalls hushed by the netted turf. "Corinne!" "Mr. Etoile!" The giri rose, her chschs bot with blushes, "Forgive me for treating yea so badly just 20W. Lotus walk under tho trees and talk .bout old times. Do you remember tho day t pulled you out cf the cranberry beg when rou brok?- through tho ice and thought you ?rere drowning?" Corinne looked up ia amazement It vas -yes. it was Job Austin; light locks, freckles, md ali. "Do you forgive mei" he persisted 4tI think wo are quits," she said, now ablo to look up roguishly through her blushes. .?Strange I didn't recognize you when you were introduced to me toda v." "Don't speak of that," said Jch^ "TThat is thisr and ho took possession, as by edito? rial right, cf tho paper fluttering in her band. His face-grew radiant as bc Vend "Dear old comrade," ho said, "I have not been disappointed in Von. -This is genuine. 2nd it is beautiful I It is a growth, not a bit j" manufacture." When "the planet and his satellite," as Corinne's saucy sister called them, left thc orchard, there was a happy light in both their faces. Thereafter literary afXairs called them often together. As to sentiment, the gossips of- tho ueighixirhxxxl are about i-quaily divided; a part asserting vehemently iii?t it is a heart artair, the others denying tho same witu equal earnestness.-?rs. M.
