THE BLUE FLOWERS.
"There's .1 blue llower in my gnrilon
The hoc loves more ihnn all— The bee aud I ve love it botli,
Thougb it is fr.lil antl .'sm.lIJ."
"Oh, jolly, jolly!"
That was Aggie French's way of ex¬ pressing satisfaction; and her companion looked up, expectant of new.';.
" My letter is from Georgiana Ash," she explained. " You must havo heard of her—the handsomest blonde yoa. ever saw; eyes half hlue, half amher, and hair neither brown, nor yellow, nor red, but just exactly gold. The fun i.s, Thorne used to bo in love with hor before hc knew little Alice Ucvon, and they said she jilted him—it w.is before he c ame to his fortune—for a richer suiter. Any¬ way, she isn't married, and it will be cu¬ rious to see how Thorne will take her prescnoo, here in this house, wbere thore aro so few of us that we can't hoi]) being iutimate. Of course he can't run away and leave Alice, and we sball seo what we shall see when my Lady Magnificent comes. • I'or my part, I never did lielieve first love a diseiise quite so oasy to get over as mumps and measles. I'm told Thome had it bard. I like stories in real life a great deal better than out of books —they'rn twice as spicy. I promise my¬ self raro fun in watching the romance."
Quiet Mary J'jvcrett sighed, a litlle sad¬ ly, but did not answer. She loved Alice Devon, their friendship had bcen of weeks only, and the prospect of (hc com¬ ing " fun" was far from exhilarating.
Just thea Alico came in, so radiantly happy. Uer bronii hair tossed abonther primrose cheek, her soft, innocent brown eyes spurkled with pleasure, a few rare wild flowers in her haud. 'I'horne was behind her, looking 011 as she exhibited her treasures with a smile and an eye- glance that revealed more than lie was aware of love and pride.
" See," cried the soft clear tones, " you've bcen hunting in vain for tbese little beauties all suinmer and we've ibund them. Do you smell thc sea-breath in thom'/ We got them a.inong the rocks, where they look forever out among the waves, and at high tide tbo water comes up among tho roots. Itow bluo- they are, just like a bit of the summer sky ' I'm going for them often, and siucc they are mine by right of discoveiy, I'll call them treasure trove, for I dqii't like those po¬ lysyllable bot'iny namc.>."
She was a pretty picture, in her- deli¬ cate morning dress, with her young^ inno¬ cent child's face, and round hat, with its bunch of wild roses and meadow grass, swinging from her arm, and the blue flow¬ ers in her hand.
She and Thorne was happy enough, both of them, to have moved any tender heart to let them dream on. Uut Aggie Prench's heart was not tender. Notthat sbe was so very cruel, only thoughtless, fond of fuu, and a little careless, what ¦wounds her self-indulgence might inflict. She looked wickedly into Thome's eyes aud said:
"I had a letter from an old iriend of yours this morning — Miss Georgiana Ash. She is coming hero to-day or to¬ morrow. She does not know she will meet you. \V hat a pleasant surprise it willbe!"
It was fortunate that Alice Devon was busy just then with Mary Everett, who -ffas asking some question about the morn¬ ing ramble. She was spared from read¬ ing the BJgns which reveled so much to
Aggie French—tlie sudden quiver of Thome's mustached Up, the bronzed face a few shades paler, the smile that tried to he eareless and failed. Little Alioe only heard the cool answer:
" Ah, I haven't seen her for five years. She used to be a stylish, haudsome girl. I wonder if she's faded."
She thought to herself that, for old friends, her lover seemed to take vety slight interest in the prospective new¬ comer.
When they came together again from their afternoon walk, Thorno and Alioe, some trunks were in the hall, with G. A. paiuted in black letters upon their covers. " The now guest, I suspeot," Alice said, lightly. Thorne was too self-con¬ scious to reply. He bit his lip and was silent.
When Aggie Frenoh heard him going by her door, after he had left Alice, she put her head out with a malicious whis¬ per:
'•¦ She's come—been with mo a couple of hours. Jfow she's in her own room dressing for tea."
It was just at sunset when all the par¬ ty beforo mentioned and a- half dozen more were gathered in tho low, old-fash¬ ioned parlor, ready to go in to supper.— Mary Everett, who had never before met Miss Ash, looked at her critically as she stood beside littlo A.ice Devon; the two having just been introduced to each other by Thorne, who, whatever he might have betrayed when taken by surprise, was perfectly self-possessed now.
There was no disputing that the new¬ comer was the handsomest woman at "The Shoals." It was a style which swayed a power of its own. The tall, full figure; the matchless complexion, with its color¬ ing clear and bright as dawn; the great, magnetic eyes; the tawny gold hair, fill¬ ing the silken net full; the mouth so ripe and tempting—all these, with tho self- understanding, the aplomh of twenty-five years. In that stately presence little Aliee Devon, with her seventeen years and her primros'3 face, looked unformed and childish. But there was something ahout her most sweet and tender and touching which made Mary Everett think of a rose-bud with the morning dew still on; and glancing back to the other she hummed, half under her hreath, a snatch of an old nursery song:
"Tbe sunflower with her brilliant crown Loolictl lovely and fempliug lo the bee: Vet. not one drop of honey he found In her wonder cup of gold und brown— She was false at heart, thongh fair to see." Aggie French had not arrived at the entire truth ahout thc separation between Miss-Ash and Howard Thome. She had not jilted him. They had given eaeh other up mutually. It was the for¬ tieth lover's quarrel, perhaps; for Miss Ash was of a tempestuous temperament, and Thome was not over patient. It was the one too many, at any rate; for they had never made it up, and five years had passed without their seeing each other. In the meantime some of Thome's relations had died and left him a fortune, making him better worth win¬ ning. Miss Aggie was mistaken, too, in thinking that her friend came to " The Shoals" without knowing that her old lover was there. iSfo allusion to the knowledge had escaped her in her letter but the certainty of moeting him had been her sole motive. 'Co do her justice, she pid not know of his engagement.— S'uo learned that for the first time in her two hours with Miss French before tea. It dismayed her not a little. It was an obstacle she had not foreseen, and she did not feel entire faith now in the success which had seemed so certain before.
When they were introduced she had looked at Aliee anxiously. She was not blind to the youth and freshness against which she must contend. She acknowl¬ edged to herself that the girlish faoe with the buuch of blue flowers (the treas¬ ure trove) in the soft hair, had a. sweet charm of its own. She almost despaired —not qnite.
For some days she held herself rather aloof from Thorne and his little betroth¬ od. When anything brought her iu con¬ tact with them, she was playful sometimes, sometimes a little reserved and sad, though kind always. There was so mueh variety in her moods that Thorne grew interested beiore he knew it in watching them. He began to realize, now he ob¬ served hev more closely, how royally beau¬ tiful she was. .She hal been-far less so in the old daj's when he had thought the wholo universe bounded by her smile.— Her manner had changed, too. Sho had been imperious then—sbe was so still at times; but oftener tbere was a tender, half pathetie»softness in words aud ways which made him thiuk she had grown sadder with the sad years. Had her life missed him 7 There was a subtle flattery in the thought, against which his vanity was uot prouf.
Ile was not untrue toward his little lovu in all these speculations, at least not consciously; but they were dangerous. Very dangerous when, one day, he suffer¬ ed bimself, sitting idly and alone on the piazza, to wonder what would have been tho result of his meeting again with Miss Aah if he had never seen Alice.
.Tust then she came up the walk in her loveliest mood. 'Tenderness in a person to whom Nature has giveu the seal of sovereignty moves us far more than in those gentler persons to whom it sccins indigenous. She looked sad, this Lady Magnifioent, as Aggie French had dubbed her. She was simply dressed, in a robe of fleecy whito, with a few flowers stuck for sole ornament in belt and bosom. Her eyes were downcast. There was a st'din. as oftcais on her cbeek. Some impulse he should have resisted drew Thorne to her side. Are there moments in all lives when our good ungel forsakes us ? Half unconsciously he said to her:, "Miss Ash-Georgiana, we were friends once—I do not like to see you sad."
The great amber eyes turned on him a look of mute reproach. After a mo¬ ment she said, with a trifle of the old petulance,
"I do not like to have my moods no¬ ticed. It is not generous of you, with all you want in life, to look out from the safe shelter of your happinesa and watoh how I bear loneliness and heart-ache." "All I want in Ufe !" v
He repeated the -words, after Tier dreamily, as if he were questioning him¬
self whether indeed he had whathe moat wanted in life. jThe past seemed to throb again in his heart—tingle in his pulses. Were the days dead in whioh he had been this woman's lover ? They had tnraed meehanically as it were, and were passing down the shaded path which she had walked up alone. For a while neither spoke. Wbat subtle magnetism was in her presence that made it thrill him so just to walk by her side ? He stole a look at her at length. She was pale to the lips, and slow teats were steal¬ ing from under her drooping lids. A sud¬ den, mad impulse swayed him—a wild longing to read hor heart. He put ont his hand and touched hers. He spoke with a tone that would be obeyed.
"What is it 1" I will know. Is it any thought ofthe past, of me, whioh moves yon ?"
She tumed her eyes full of reproaoh npon him.
"What right have you, another's affi¬ anced, to the past of me ? Be content with your own joy. It ahould be piquant enough without the zest of enhancing it by contrast with my misery."
The reference to Alice Devon struck a pang, sword keen, to his heart. Hc was not a bad man; nay, he was perhaps better than most men. He respeoted his plighted word—he loved Alice. Still he had not strength enough to escape from the baleful spell which was closing round him.
" Tour misery!" he cried. "Do you, whom all the  world envies, know what
misery means ?    Tell me.    I will know."
Again that long, reproachful look frcm out those amber oyes.
" Howard, for shame! You must not, you shall not torture me, now when all the ties between us are over. Do think I would have parted with you in anger that last time if I had not -thought your love was atrong enough to bringyou back. We were both wrong—we ought to have forgiven each other. But why talk of it ? You are better off;—and I—perhaps I am not punished too severely for the share of blame that was mine."
Thoughts tbat swam through his brain deliriously. She, his youth's love, loved him—was suffering for him—and loved him all the while. He looked at her more beautifnl than ever in her sorrow, her tendemess. After all, was not the old love the true love ?
" If I were free—" he began. • " Of what use would be freedom ?" she interrupted him, j assionately. "You were free five years."
" But I did not see you. Oh, Georgie ! this is cruel. You should have come be¬ fore, or not at all."
.Tust then steps orushed the sand near them. Aroiind a sndden turn in the winding path came Mary Everett, with Alice, his Aliee, clinging to her arm.
We heard a few words—we could not help it," Miss Everett said, with eyes of stern rebnke, leading her friend by.
Howard Thome cursed his fate as he saw his littlo love's pale faee, with the heart, break settling ovsr it, almost like the shadow of death. He knew now where his heart was—saw what brief madness had possessed him. He would havegiven half the universe to be able to go to Alice's side and tell her the truth. But he dared not approach her. For the first time in his life he felt like a coward. He atood and watched her, silently, as she moved away—lis darling, whom he had been mad enough to lose. Then he turned, with a look in his eyes that made Georgiana Ash tremble.
"I am free now; and, as you said, of what use is freedom V
Neither -spoko again until his cool gocd-by, when he had gone up the path with her to the house-door.
Then he rushed back into the thick shrubbery, among the rocks across to the sea. He was almost wild enongh to bury all—wrong, sorrow, shiime, in those treacheroua waters. He knew his fate was sealed. There would be no hope for him. Alice was not unforgiving; but shewas true, and claimed truth—a woman, and would not accept a divided heart.— Explain as he would, he knew she would uever believe him or understand him. She never could know how it all came; and if he offered explanations she would believe that only honor, only sorrow for her held him; and those mad moments oould never 1 e atoned for. Just then he turned. He was standing in the very nook where they had gathered the blue flowers. Some others, their sisters, were nodding in the cleft. - He gathered a bunch and laid them carefully in a pocket- book, which he carried in his breast.
"They shall go with me into other scenes," he said, his sad eye kindling again with the gleam of a new resolve. " I have held back from giving my life to my oouutry because Alice's love made the offering too costly. Now I will go. It will be better for her if I die."
He foiind a note on hia table when he went home, and in it these words only:
" Be merciful enough not to write to mo, or ask to see me. It would be of no use. What I heard, what I saw, can never be explained out of memory. I forgive you., I do not think you meant to be falso. When you told me you loved I believe you thought so. I shall go away to night, and leave you to the love you have found again."
He obeyed her; made no useless at¬ tempts at explanation, and watehed from his window to see her go away with a calmness more terrible and despairing than any passion of agony.
Later in the evening came another note, from Miss Ash this time. It was worded oh! so skillfully; begging his pardon; telling him how innocent she was of wrong deaign; blameless of everything but the love and sorrow she could not help, and the letting him speak to her at all.
Howard Thorne smiled grimly as he twisted her soft words and lighted his cigar with them. All her blandishments were powerless now. No device of hers could move him, steeled to vindictivencss by the look ofwhite pain he bad seen on Aliee Devon's face. He made no re¬ sponse. The next morning he, too, went away.
Somehow even Aggie French's heart was touched by his hopelesa, dreary smile as he bade her good-by. Certainly the Lady Magnificent's visit had not been productive of the expeoted " fan." Jliss Everett had gone away the night befoie, wil
All that ms last year'—the summer of '62. It was September when Howard Thorne fonnd liiniself a soldier, with the commission, urged npon him half against his will, of first lieatenant. He was with the Army of the Potomao, and before the summer came agun be had seen hard fighting, and held a colonel's rank by virtue of his oool courage. Courage, did I say ? Reoklessneas, perhaps, would have told the truth more nearly. He wanted to die, and so took every possible oppor¬ tunity to throw away the life of which he was weary. For tbat reason, perhaps, shot and ahell paased him by. [Ever in the front, and no ball hit him. They hegan to aay he bote a charmed life when they saw him with no scar on his bronzed, handsothe face.
At last came Gettysburg aud the bul¬ let which sought his heart 1 It was tum¬ ed aaide a little by a book he wore—the book whioli held the blue treasure-trove —so that, ghastly and terrible as was'his wound, it waa not instantly mortal. There was small hope for him, however; and one who loved him as a biother, asked, when there wes leisnre after the fight; if there waa any one for whom he would wish to send. All his pale faee bright¬ ened gloriously. This waa the hour for which he had longed and waited. He dictated only these words:
" Come to me before I die. You will believe what I have to aay when you know it ia my last worda."
This, with the address of Alice Devon on tho oover.
Then he waited.
Five days were the least posaible time in whieh, allowing for no delays, she eould get the letter and oome to him. He thought his strong will would keep him alive so long.
On the eveuing of the fifth day he lay with his face toward the wall. Wrapped in thought, and tortured with searching pain, he heard no footfall, heard nothing, until a low, remembered voice said :
" I am here."
Then he turned his faee and saw Alice Devon at hia pillow.
He waited for no greeting, no imjuriea, but spoke the uppermost thonght first:
" Alice, I did love you—only you.— That scene which you could not under¬ stand waa a momentary madneaa. She touched me with her miaery—hints of the long, hopeless love she bad oherished for me all those years. I was moved on the surface only. I tell you, as a dying man, that my heart never wavered. It was yours then, as it is now—aa it will be when I go back whence I eame, to dark¬ ness and mystery."
" I believe you," said the low, sweet tone.
" I began to believeit when I heard of her marriage, six months after. I know she had been disappointed, and I had been wrong and hasty."
" No, not wrong, you had reaaon enough. Y^ou aball not blame youraelf. I never blamed you; But are you free ? Is this my Alice at my side ?
" Your Aliee; yours, and none other.
" Then I shall die content."
Through all the hours of that night sbe sat beaide him, holding hia hand in hers, charming away his pain by her voiee and her touch. When the dawn crept slowly up the slopes, and kindled the eaatern sky to fiame, be was sleeping a oalm, rest¬ ful sleep, for the flrst time in all those days since he was wounded; and the sur. geon eoming in, and standing watchfully beside him for awhile, said, as he turned away:
" I dare not give yon much hope; but I begin to think it just possible that he may live"
A little later he awoke and still Alice's hand was in hia. He turned to look at her dear face, and saw a new light in her tender brown eyea. She bent over him and kissed him, in the morning twilight through which thc sun bad not yet bro¬ ken, and with her kiss she whispered :
" The aurgeon baa been here, and he aaya it ia possible you may live. Will you not try ?"
"• Ay, that I will," answered his deep tones, fervently. " Life, that I waa so ready to throw away, is dear enough now. It must be that I shall get well now I have Alice to live for. Pray for it, iny darling. God will hear such lips as yours."
Last week an invalid came back. His face was thin and pale, but his eyes were bright; and on that worn face was a look of hard-won peaoe. By easy stages he journeyed—he and the one friend with him—to the sea coast, and took hia old room at " The Shoals " once more. He found there old friends and new ones, all ready to give Col. Thorne glad welcome. It was Alioe's care which had won him baek from death. He waa all hers now, and between tbem eould never again come any shadow.
Tomorrow at «The Shoals" will be a wedding, and the bride will wear a wreath of little blue flowers.

A STOEY FOU THE IITTLE FOLKS.
The way Hans Made a Fortune.
There was once a poot mechanic who had two sons. One waa a very good, amiable, industrious boy, named Hans; but he was by no means aa smart as big brother Helmerioh, and therefore was not half aa muoh loved by his silly father, aUhough Helmerioh was an ill-tempered, wicked fellow.
Now it happened that one year every¬ thing was so mnch dearer than uaual, that the poor man's pvurse was almost empty. " What in the world am I to do ?" aaid he. " We must live. My oustomers have been very attentive to me; politeness requires that I should go and see them in retum; and who knows but, thinking of the hardness of the timea, they may pay somo of their bills ?" So said, so done. Early the next morning he set out, and knocked at many a stately door; ^but he was not long in finding that the richest men are not the best paymasters, for no one had money to pay bills, or even time to loot over them. In the evening the poor man came home weaty and disconraged, and betaking hiniself to the pnblic honaei threw himself on the bench before the door.   He hadnot even the Tieart to talk
 „ J g „„„.v, witli jjpae about him, and therefore soon.
4 .Alice, and ^' The ShoaW,' bade "^ j fonndj himseiSf alJ alonfr.   He did not
to b'e presently deserted.
I want b go home, for he could not bear
of brains. What is to prevent him from getting the lady and her money ? I'll see to it. I'm enre even' the king might be proud of him."
Forgetting his troubles and the unkind¬ ness of his customers, he ran quickly home and made known the affair to his wife. She agreed with him perfectly. «If," said ahe, " it had'been that boo¬ by Hana, I should say No at onoe; but so bright and active a fellow as Helmer¬ ioh cannot help but succeed, and I'm sure both the iady and the father will admire him."
Early the next morning he called Hel¬ merioh, and desired him to borrow a horse aud such weapons as a gentleman would jsquire, and start at onee upon the jour¬ ney. Relying upon hia great reputation for braina and good looks, he felt aa sure of bis succeaa aa his father did, and prom¬ ised his parents that as soon as he was married he would take them to ride in a coach-and-six, and try to give his stupid brother a lift in the world, too.
Proudly he set out on his way, and amnsed himself by tormenting everything- he met. Little birds sat on the bushes singing praises to God in their own way; he switched them down with his riding- whip. Then he came to an ant-hill, just finished. He made hia horse go over it and paw it up; and wheu the poor little inaects, in their fright, ran up upon him and horse, too, he killed and crushed ev¬ ery one he could see. Next he came to a beautiful clear pond, where some ducks were swimming. There were twelve.— He drove them to the shore, and killed eleven, but the twelfth escaped. Theu he came to a bee-hive. He switched and slashed round the hive until tbe terrified insects fiew out to see what waa the mat¬ ter, and then flashed a charge of gunpow¬ der among them, killing or'stunning the whole swarm. It seemed to delight him to hurt or destroy all living things, not that he wanted them for food, but for the wicked pleaaure of seeing them suffer and struggle.
Just as the sun waa aetting, Helmerich reached the castle in which the princess was shut up, and knocked 1-astily at the cloaed gate. There waa no answer. He knocked again. Presently a small round window was opened, and out of it was thrust tbe head and faoe of an old woman all oovered a,ith oobwebs. She asked what he wanted.
" I have come to free tbe princess," he replied, conceitedly, " so let me in quiek- ly!" " Oh, that's it, is it ?" said the old lady. "Well, there'a no hurry, my aon. To¬ morrow will be another day. I will be ready for you at nine o'clock," and she abut the window.
The next day at nine o'clock Hcliner- ioh preaented himaelf again, and sure enough there was the old woman waiting for him. She gave him a keg full of flax¬ seed, saying: " I shall be back in an hour; meanwbile thread theae seeds to¬ gether, and have it done when I return." Helmerich thought the old lady was making a fool of him, and would not even look at the aeeds. He walked up and down seeking some way of getting into the castle, and when she came baik, the keg was aa full as ever.
" That's not right," said she. " That's not right." Then taking from her pocket twelve little golden spoons, ahe threw them, one by one, into a broad lake before tbe castle. "There," said she, "fish them up against I return. I'll be back in au hour." Helmerioh laughed, but paid no more heed to what ahe said than he had to the flax-seed. When the old wo¬ mau came back and aaw how matters stood, she shook her head angrily, and exclaimed.
" Not right! not right!" Then sho took his hand, and led him up the great castle stair-ease to a vast saloon, where sat three veiled females.— " Choose," said she, ' but be careful.— I'll be back in an hour, then tell me whieh of these you will have." Helmer¬ ich amused himself by looking at the ele¬ gant furniture, but gave no heed to the figures before him until the old woman got baok and asked him whathe thonght of the princeas. Now ho had no ideaf that either was, but he had no time to consider now, sp he made a rough guesa, aud said : " TKat one—on the right!"— In a moment tbeir veils were drawn off. In the middle sat the beautiful princess, and the figure on the right was a fierce dragon, that fell upon the lazy^nd con¬ ceited fellow and destroyed him in a mo¬ ment.
So long a time passed after the depart¬ nre of Helmerich, nothing being heard of tbe coach-and six, that the poor me¬ chanic began to be qnite distressed. He thonght it very bard that hia son could not makeji great man of himaelf. If it had been Hans, now, he ahould not have b/e^ at all surprised, for he was always plodding, uo inatter how dirty it made his handa, and making a a fool of himaelf by feeding all the hungry cats and birda in the country. If it had been he, he should not have felt at all surprised; but Hel¬ merioh was oertainly olever enough to do anything, and handsome enough to make any woman fall iti love with him.
Hans had his own thoughts upon the snbject, top,.it wonld seem, and one bright mcpmng aaked: his^fiitlter'B^oonsent to try twhat he could do. But the old ituiii; would not listen tosucli a thing.   "Why, yon
ing handfuls of gravel and putting it close to their nest; neither did he cmsh or inj ore a single one, when, in their fright at seeing him, they ran up his pan¬ taloons and over his arma, though in their terror they did bite him pretty hard.
At the lake he found a floek of now ducks, and he drove them to the shore and fed them with part of a loaf he had put in his pocket when he set out, for fear he might be hungry ou the way. On the road he picked aa many aweet flowers as he could posaibly carry, for he waa very fond of them, and when he reaohed the bee-hive he threw them all arouud it, to the great ilelight of the little inmatea. So he went on until bo reached the royal castle, and knocked modeatly at the door. It was opeued by the little woman with the cobweb covered face, who deu anded bis business.
"If it would notbe too presumptuous," replied Hans, " for a working man's aon, I also would like to try to set the young lady free."
" The chance is opeu to all my son," replied the old woman kindly. " Gentle or simple, all have the same right. But you aeem to be a modest, deserving fellow, aud I would not like to see you in trouble. I beg you to consider well before you decide to make the attempt, for if you do not succeedin the three trials appoint¬ ed, remember—it will cost youyour life."
"Very well, mother," said Hans. " There ia nobody tbat will take my losa much to heart unleas I succeed in making a great man of myself, then I shall have plenty of friends. So please tell me what I am to do."
"Well, then, take this keg and atring tbe flaxaeeda tbat are in it. I shall be back iu an hour, so be brisk;" and she went off.
Hans was not a bit lazy if he was quiet; ho stooped down to the keg and worked diligently for full three quartera ofan hour, but the seeda were not half atrung. He was just thinking ofgiving up, when the whole colony of ants came crawling up to him. " One good turn deserves another," said the queen ant, who beaded the proceaaion, "you worked for us;" and giving the command, each one aeized a aeed ?nd ran the needle through it, and the work waa done before the little old woman showed herself.
" That is good ! that ia good!" aaid she when sbe oame and saw what was done. " Now for thia job," and she tossed tbe twelve spoons into the deep lake. " Fish these all up by the time I get baok, just an hour hence."
Hans fiahed diligently till he got tired, and then plunged in himself and dived to the bottom over and over again for nearly the whole hour, but all iu vain.— In despair he sat down on the shore, when twelve ducks came swimming up, eaeh carrying iu ita beak a little golden spoon. " One good turn deserves another," said the old drake wbo led tbe party. " One good turn deservea another," said he.— " Y^ou fed us;" and dropping the spoona on tbe wet grassat his feet, off they swam again.
When the old woman got baek, sbe looked delighted. " That's goad! that's good!" said she, nodding her head in ap¬ probatiou. " But now, my son, the hard¬ est ia yet to be done; be cautioua !" Ta¬ king hia hand she led him to the tbree veiled figures in the castle saloon, and bade him make up his mind, while abe was gone, whioh was the princess. She would return in an hour.
Just as she went out a swarm of bees eame in at the window, aud began to buzz arouud them; but Hans observed that tbey soon left the two outer ones and set¬ tled upon the other. He at onbe conclu¬ ded that the two must be dragons, for they smelt horribly of sulphur and pitch that they were fed with; while he knew that the princes was so fond of honey that her lips were always covered witb it.— As soon, therefore, as the old woman got back he told her that it was the " middle

No sooner had he spoken the words than the dragons spread their wings and melted away into thia air, and the old woman, wiping the cobwebs from her face, stood before him young and fair, the guardian of buman life. "My son," said she, " you have found the secret: kindness and diligeiice are the talismans that insure man's success. The treasure he seeks can be won only by toil and patience, but behold! before those pow¬ erful weapons, the dragons that guarded it, the dark and misty but fearful forms of donbt and disappointment, vanish into air. Without them the brilliant and beautiful Helmeiicb failed; pride and presumption were powerless to carve his way before him; with them, simplicity and honesty have won the prize, and the son of the poor laborer has become rich and powerful, and takes his father to ride in a coach-and-six."
Hans brought up his own children carefully, and to thia day they live in peace and prosperity, honest in their deal¬ ings, iruthjulin their speech, diligent &nd. industrious even in the smallest tasks, and kind and gentle to every creature into wbicb the dear God has- breathed the breath of life.—i^.
