[Original.] Bon't Heddle with the Yankees, John Bnll.
" A  WOBD TO  THB  WISE,"  AC. By Jamea S. Watkins.
Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull,
They'll " tell you a thing now or two:" Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull,
Ban'l mrddtc, whatever you do ! They are ten timet m Hrong. Johnny Bull,   ,
.\ud a hundred more daring to kill .^s when, in tfaeir weakness, John Bull,
Your hirelings beseiged Bunker Hill !
Don't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull,
They've Freedom and Liberty's might; Dou't meddle with the Yankees, John Bull,
Or else you may /or« them to fight; .\nd then, wheu iu their strength, John Bull,
They cross the St. Lawrence, '* mi boy," Look out to be served, Johnny Bull,
Aa you dealt with the eaptured Sepoy.
The Yankees don't boast, Johnny Bull,
They speak plainly their mind as it is. Then, I pray you, don^t meddtt, John Bull,
For " their soldiers are awful when riz ;»' They had hoped to be friendly, John Bull,
At least to 've lived that profession, But if meddled with, "nark it," John Bnll,
They'll aerve you as of old with the Hessian.

When, in fact, they're a treacherous band; They despiae onr Republic, John Bull,
And curse the whole "Yankeedom race," But we faold, with your subjeols, John Bull,
To quarrel were a double disgrace!
Therefore, don't you meddle, John Bull,
Don't meddle with the Yankees, I pray, Or else, " they may lam you," John Bull,
And that, too, at no far distaut day ! They're " a nation all mighty," John Bull,

BUU'S HAPPY S-EW YEAR.
" Well, I believe this is the end" for to¬ night. Tes, there ia the package of bills OB the left. And ;ou will communicate to Grade and Seyne first. The sooner it's over, the better. He)gh-ho!" and a long yawn exhaled with a oloud of cigar smoke, and tho face of the smoker seem¬ ed to assume a grey tinge in the grey light of the smoke.
The lawyer, drawing forth the pack¬ age of bills on the left, remarked some, thing politely, to whioh the other return¬ ed, between short, energetio whiffs.
" Nor, I don't think my creditors oan justly accuse me of any unfairness. I believe I have been, as you say, Mr. Waring, strictly honorable."
A slight pause, and then a little ab¬ sently. " But I wish it could have been deferred, at least. Bun will lose her Happy New Year, now. Poor little Burn!"
The lawyer glanced up from his occu¬ pation, aud as he flashed a look across at the broker there waa just the least sur¬ prise visible in his impassible face.— Wbat was it ? What did he see in John Baylie to surprise him ?
There was nothing strange to be seen. Only a man smoking slowly, and gazing thoughtfully as he smoked, into the blaz¬ ing fire of sea ooal. A cool, grave man to the world of bnsiness; some said a hard man j one at least to weigh careful¬ ly all the nice chances in the mercantile balance. Not less oool, not less grave now, in seeming. Very grave, indeed; and it might be that the shade of gravity had deepened to a shadow, and that a softer one than usual; or it might only be the shadowy clouds from the cigar.— Who oould tell-? Not Mr. Waring with hia one swift glance. Not any one who knew John Baylie on Change certainly. Who then ? Little Bun could have told. But after that cne swift glance, the lawyer's interest in the matter appeared to subside, and the exolamation and the shadow went out of his mind together.— The next quarter of an hour passed quiet¬ ly in businesfl talk—cool, clearheaded reckonings on both sides, and on one a brave, almost you would have said,_ a cal¬ lous reoognition and acceptance of certain bitter truths; so brave that when Law¬ yer Waring walked home in the still Deoember midnight, he said to himself, " The man has splendid courage!" And on the still December midnight, walking home, thia man of splendid conrage kept thinking, sometimes aloud, "Poor little Bun!"
As he turned to ascend the marble steps of his Fifth Avenue palace, a car¬ riage, with a span of blood horses, glitter¬ ing silver moundngs in the gas- light, dashed up to the curb stone. It would seem as if he hurried on; hia pass-key wss already in the look, and a moment more he wonld have been out of sight, wben a clear treble voice oalled, " Papa, papa!" wait for me !"
He stopped, hesTUted just tbe fowtion ofa minute, then i)^n> back tomeet Hiss Bosemond Baylie,Belf-obristened "Bun" in the days of ber babyhocid, oiit of sonia baby wbim, wbich baby whim had olung [iojier these twenty years. j^'VTou are baoi emly," be gaid.
"Yes, and for such' a funny reason-^ That clumsy Keyes—Captain Keyes, you know—caught my lovely thread-lace flounces in his ugly regimentals some way, and made suoh a fignje. of me I hatl to come home. But I didn't mind, 'twas a atnpid party. All my losa is a laaa losa, and that ian't mine, but yours, papa, for I shall want yards of it, to renew mo for New Year's night."
So, chattering in a happy, heedless way, she had led him into a drawing room, and now, under the full light of a chandalier, stood revealing the unlnoky " laoe loss," yards of it trampled and torn, ami cut by that " olumsey Keyes." In the midst of which revealing, ahe laughs gaily_ as she recalls the unfortunate oap¬ tain, telling pap» how absurdly he looked " flying down the room unwound in that fluttering flag of lace." And papa smiled absently all the time, saying never aword; for all the time he was thinking " Bnn will lose her happy New Year! Poor lit¬ tle Bun!"
Once or twioe he opened hia lipa to tell her about it; but a fresh laagh, a gay reminiscence, stayed him, and then one o'clook struok from the Frenoh time pieoe on the mantel, and a little white hand on the prettiest eyea in the world, the sleep¬ iest little Bun goea yawning to bed, drag- ing an ermine cloak by the tassels. She b no doubt soon asleep, and smiling as she sleeps, very likely, over that "olumsy Keyes," while down stairs sits a man of " splendid courage," who hadn't courage enough to tell little Bun ivhy she would lose her Happy New Year.
" I will tell her to-morrow," he promi¬ ses to himself. " Yes I will tell her to¬ morrow.   She ought to know at onee."
But when to-morrow oame, Buu was out when he was in. " Out driving sir," Mademoiaelle Aline, her French maid in¬ formed him.
" Out driving!" This wasn't pleasant to hear; for John Baylie had ancient ideas of honor, and ir violated a sense of propriety that his daughter should be " out driving" on the first day that his name was ringing with its new title of bankrupt. Much ha regretted his coward¬ ly " putting off" the night before.
" You will tell Miss Baylie," he said to Mademoiselle Aline, " that I wish to see her when she returns; on no account to go out until I see her."
It was late when the young lady re¬ tarned. Herfatber wonld not be home till evening, the butler told her. But no one told her of his message; for only Mademoiselle Aline waa imrusted with it, and out of that giddy Frenoh head the message went in fifteen minutes af¬ ter it was communicated.
So, in her ignorance, Miss Baylie com¬ menced her toilet for another party, un¬ der the supervision of the faithless Aline. It would seem that some nnto ward fate must have presided at that toilet; for never had Mademoiselle Alino contrived to render her mistress so brilli¬ ant—nay, almost gorgeous, in adornings as on this speoial evening. A dress of sheeny rose, literally sown with pearls, whose rare, pale lustre gleamed with a fiery whiteness that seemed to absorb all light, and warmth, and color. Pearls, too, in her hair—splendid Persian pearls —and drooped like moon spray on her neck and arms, where, through mists of costly Flemish lace, they sent out their subtle sparkle.
Mademoiselle Aline, who was not giv¬ en to ecstasies, clasped her hands in a true French ardor of admiration as she regarded her.
" Ah, ciel, you will kill somebody to¬ night, Mademoiselle!" she exolaimed ¦ and Mademoiselle kughed, looked nowise unwilling to falfil the sanguinary predic¬ tion, irisbed " papa" was there to see her, and so ran down to the oarriage, singing as she went, the opening bars of Giuzamento, " Sra stella del matino."— Beaming like the star indeed, aud as she ran, all the hundred little stars, set in moonbeam spray upron ber dress, danced oat like fire-flies.
It was fashionably early, instead of late, and the rooms were filled as she entered with her chaperon—Mrs. Verclayse, who had rasbed baok from, the "Willow" all tbe way by steam, not to miss this grand affair and Rosamond Baylie; so she was as ignorant of any other affair, either of balls or basiness, as Bnn herself.
Perhaps it was natural that men and women should not only open wide eyes at snoh a brilliant apparition heralding the fall of a great house, but vent their sur¬ prise, their consternation, in sundry small sneers and sharp satires against the inno¬ cent object whom they thoaght so guilty. Poor, ignorant, little Bun !
Perhaps it was nataral -for human na¬ tare to so vent itself in cold words and colder conduot; but if it was, then hu¬ man nature is in a very shameful condi¬ tion, and one might as well accept at once the doctrine of total depravity.
It was a terrible failure indeed—not any mere suspension, but a great craah— a iall that ahook half th'e buainess houses in New York, and made ita thnndera felt aorosa the seas.
" Who knows bnt he has some reverse fund, and is better off than you tbink ? or it may be, Miss Baylie is an heiress her self. This looks like it," suggested heed¬ lessly that "olumsy Keyes" to young Seyne, the very Seyne of the Paris firm to whom Lawyer Waring this morning communicated the evil tidings of -tho Baylie bankruptcy.
Seyne, sore under hia recent losses, flung out some sharp sentences, which were taken up and blown hither and thither.
Two or three nights ago, Henry Seyne had been devoue to Rosamond Baylie, al¬ most committing himself by various ar- dentapeeehes, and carrying off in triumph the roses that bad decked her hair. Now the roses lay withered, and Rosamond Baylie wondered at bis negleot.
Alittle wbile, and tbe ohill air that \ras gathering io the social- atmosphere, settled menacingly about' ber. Sbe be¬ gan to feel nnoomfortable, she knew no^ why. What was the matter ? Poor' lit: I tie Bun I . . ..
It happened that Waring, Lawyer War¬ ing, -was one of the overJookeis of ali this. At first, when the buzz of her en¬ trance went ronnd, and he oanght the glitter ofher dress, he was inolined to censure, perhaps. But he took a seooad look. It waa a child's iaije in inuocenoe. Then he suddenly reoalled,"'Bun will lose her Happy New Tear! Poor littlo Bunl" with his keen, professionally^edr uoated peroeptions, he began to compre¬ hend the whole matter. John Baylie, shrewd, and sharp, and sagacious, and "hard," had o soft spot in tta konrt; this spot was little Bun. Here .she was And he who had the courage to look thc most disastrous climax in*^ the faoe, when it ooncerned himself, hadn't the oourage to tell the evil tidings to little Bun.
At tbis point in hia elucidation, Ren- shawe Waring grew indignant at the sav¬ age treatment ahe was getting. It ought to be averted. Who was there to do it ? He lobked about him. Mrs. Verclayse was blind, deaf, dumb to everything ani¬ mate or inanimate exoept the card table at whioh she sat. Ho was well convinced that none bnt himself comprehended the trath; nnd if they did—well, he had made up hia mind. Perhaps the last re¬ mark of Henri Seyne's helped him: "Does John Baylie think he is easting pearls before swine?" Andjust then, all the bundred stars of pearl spray shimmered and shone out of the costly lace of the unconscious Rosamond's dress.
At this moment, too, the host of the house passed. Waring touched him on the shoulder.
" Pray make me acquainted with Miss Baylie."
They took a ciroaitous tour over the room, and came up to her, aa she stood quite alone at the door of the music room. " Misa Baylie, allow me—Mr. Waring." The greetings over and he wondered how he should accomplish his earand without a bungle. In the exigency of the mo¬ ment he caught a snggestion at the bar¬ est thought, and plunged on.
" Miss Bailie, I am sorry the first time I have the pleasure of seeing you that I should bea messenger of ill. Your father is suddenly indisposed, and sends for you. Nay, do not stop to make an adieux, I will apologize for you afterwarda."
He gave her his arm, and by some in¬ genuity succeeded in getting her to the dressing-room unobserved. In the mean¬ time he slipped out and cooly appropria¬ ted the first carriage in waiting, and was back in time to attend her to it, riding with her to explain his hastily manufac¬ tured fable.
Now that the matter was en train, the disagrements of his own position present¬ ed themselves.
He knew little about young ladies, but he had a dim idea that they were given ' to hysterics and scenes. Of almoat haughty reticence of character, he shrank with nervous dread from any approach to such emotions. What would she do 1— Sfae might refuse to believe his seeond tale, for he had most assuredly given her the precedent of a very ingenious lie.— On this ground what absurd fancies might she not conceive against him !
As he was pondering this, tbe youn^ lady asked a question whieh broke the spell. Was papa in great danger ? His accustomed directness came to his aid now, and in a fow sentence.-! he told her tbe trath.
She neither fainted nor cried. There was no scene. There was only a slight panse, and then the first thing she said was, " Poor papa, I auppose he hated to tell me, and so put it off." Another pause, and then—" He did not know of my going out to-night, of course." Then tbere came a quiver to her voiee, and she said, " You are very kind Mr.. Waring. I thank you."
Just a self-controlled little lady, low spoken and dignified, comprehending his share in the affair at a heart beat. He left her at the door, and aa a broad atream of radiance from the hall flashed ont across the pavement when she passed in, accustomed as he was to see such for¬ tune ohanges, he felt a pang of pity for the pretty, tpnder creature to whom so sudden a change was abont to come.
"Papa! where is papa, 'Wilson V was the first question to the serving man who let her in.
Mr. Baylie came out of the library at her voice.
" 0, is it yoa, Rosamond ! You are home early. Waa the ball stupid again tonight?" Always mindful of the dig¬ nity of reserve; as haughty in hia reti¬ cence aa Renshawe Waring, he was ten times aa sensitive in regard to its breach. So his greeting in the presence of Wil¬ son was glaeier-oool, while a fire was rag¬ ing within his breast. A nod beckoned her into the libery, and he olosed the heavy door between themselves and the outside world. He knew why she had gone, for Aline's neglect of his measage had transpired. Now what did her early return mean ?
Her first words thrilled him with sur¬ prise—with dead.
" 0, papa, why did you not tell me? " Tell her!—what ?" he uttered in his amaze. " Good Heaven! what had she been told ? who had told her 1 I left a message for you, at noon, to remain in until I saw you, and Mademoiselle Aline iorgot to deliver it."
" 0 !" faintly uttered, with some re¬ lief in the tone; aud then, "I am so sorry, papa—sorry for you, I mean. / don't mind, you know."
He thought he should have to do witb tears and terrors; and like Waring; he had been fortifying himaelf; and here abe was, calm-eyed, unutterably gentle, and giving him consolation. For a mo¬ ment he could not see; a mist came over his vision; and he could find no words to answor her..
" But loiere had she ¦heard? who told her?" She fell to untying the tassels of her cloak, and looking away, while the color olonded into her cbeek, she replied, " Mr. Waring told me."
It was a ouriona tableau—they two to¬ gether. He, eager, determined, expect¬ ant—and of the worst; yet his very soul shuddering away from it; all that haugh¬ ty pride invaded, open to tbe world, and qnivering with a donble senae of auffer¬ ing. She young, tender; yesterday ca¬ ressed, courted; to-day scorned, insulted liJmost, and aoUng witb the rnde Uow, I bnt covering it over with'a mask of oalim-^
ness to save bim from the pang of knowl¬ edge.
Thus for a few momenta they waited, hesitating, until he asked the pointed qaestion.
" Why did Mr. Waring tell you, Rosa¬ mond?"
A moment more she hesitated; then, in a voioe quite low.of tone—she was a bungler at evasion—"He thought it would'nt be pleasant for me to be there. I waa muob dresse-l, you know; and—«nd—and he told me you were ill at first." _He rose^and eame to her. Hla voice waa ooncentrated passion, though so still, tender always to her. " Rosamond, was it not pteasarit f"
She trembled violently, hanging her head at-the remembrance, and blushing with gentle shamej yet oairing more even then, for the hurt to him.
" Not so pleasant as usual, papa," sbe hesitatingly answered.
All his suspicions were confirmed. Tbe¬ world he had ruled, and acoraed, and had hated for years, had strack back upon him in his only vulnerable spot— his own little ewe lamb! This blow was more than he could bear oalmly. Throagh his oool eaas of manner, vehement pas¬ sion and tenderness proclaimed their sway. With something that was akin to an imprecation, he took her to bis breast.
" Child! ohild!" he exolaimed, " they did not dare to insult you with neglect— with coldness!"
She had never seen her father moved before—her gay, brilliant papa, always ready with a kind word or jest—and she trembled againit fais bosom witboat a word.
By-and-by she said, as if in explana. tion, "it was not so strange, papa, when you remember how I'was dressed;" and she dropped the cloak from her shoul¬ ders, diaelosing that sumptions Prinoesa Royal Raiment.
Hia heart sank within him as he re¬ garded her. What might he not have saved her by an earlier confidence !
" Bun," he said, suddenly, " who was there that you know well ?"
" 0, everybody, almost I Henry Seyne, and—"
" Henry Seyne ! was Seyne there ?"
" Yes."
" What did he say to you Bun ?"
"Nothing, papa."
He ground bis teeth, and commenced walking np and down the room. " The fools !" he muttered, " not to perceive at once that it waa a child's ignorance. And Waring," he went on, " you didn't know Waring before, eh ?"
She told him of hia introduction, aud all that followed.
As in a glass he saw evory ahade of this chivalrous conduot.
" God bless him !" he murmered, heart¬ ily; Waring is a man!"
" And you think you will not mind it. Bun ?" tarning again to her.
" 0, no, papa; you will be with me, and I shall like it."
"Like what. Bun?" he asked,smiling drearily.     ;^	
" 0, the smaller house, and everything changed. You mustn't think, papa, be¬ oause I look so fine to-night, tbat 1 am thoroughly engrossed in the vanities of my dress. Aunt Anne ordered thb for me, and I have thought very little about it, indeed, papa, until to-night."
"And that was a sorry thought, wasn't it, Bun ?"
" O, don't fret about it, I shan't! I shall be quite happy,-if I can see you cheerful, papa. It makes me ache so to think of yon," she said' with a real ache in her voice.
He bent down and kissed her.— " Child," he said, with muoh emotion, " the world haa no power to make me suffer but through you. If I oan carry yon where its shafts oannot reach you— if I can make you happy, I shall be hap¬ py. God bless you, dear !" , The conference, was ended, and they two alone in the world together, yet all the world to each other, separated with a new boiid of sympathy that night.
A low, wide room, aimply furniahed— its views froni two slender windows, the southwestern side of the country. To the left a range of meadow land, sbowing greenly underneath a light glare of Jan¬ uary ice; on the right a lift of hills, and fronting all, tbe level aweep of the aea.— The wind howled aavagely down the dis¬ tant hills and roughened the waves. The sun shone rarely throngh tbe mnrky scudding olonds; but within thia low, wide room, a great fire roared and sung up the great chimney, and in the oe ntre of the floor a table spread for two, "spark¬ led cheerily its plain dinner service in the light of the fire.
This was the home of Rosamond Bay- lie ; and faere, in this room, she awaits her father's coming from town. A small, plain house for a palace luxury. A single servant in place of a dozen obsequious at¬ tendants, and one companion for hnn¬ dreds. This was the change tbat a week had brought to Rosamond Baylie. It wosid seem a hazardous experiment to transplant such an exotic to the loneliness of oountry life in midwinter; but Jobn Baylie reasoned well. Hb daughter, if fashional ly educated, had the pure tastes of a gentlewoman. The simplicity of this stern country life would strike less painful¬ ly than the cheap comforta of a fourth- rate city residenoe. For companionship he would see if he oould supply the plaoe of these handred associates, and save ber from utter loneliness.
So on the first day of January she awaited him. It was the day he had dreaded for her.
He oomes in at lenglh with his old gay, brilliant manner. A smile on his face, and pleasant words on hb lips, but a stone at bis heart. Throughout the dinner you would never have guesaed but that he was the most contented of men.
At no grand entertainment had he shone so agreeably as now over these simple courses. For no elegant dame at splendid festivities had he ever exerted all bb matchless powers of pleasing as for thb yonng girl sitting opposite to him.— Books and people be dbcussed witb her with a flattejing deference he had never shown before; and interesting bits of goamp, stray reminiscences of bb yoaog. er days, ware. tbroira in as illoatniiou, wbile night settled- ddim arimi'd^tbao,
Than more loga weica<heaped on, oaiidles were bronght in, and in the brigbtiieBS they played gay gamea of oarda and orib^ bage, with snatohra of old songs, recita¬ tions of rare poemsj'eto., until the anoient olook in tbe hall proolaimed the old jear ont and tbe new in. Bbing to.bid ber good-night, he risked tbe qnestibn'wbnh had been brooding in hb; mind, pntting it in a gay and oarelesa manner:
" Well, has little Bun had n sorry New Tear out here in the wildii?"
Her face grew radiant as she exolaim¬ ed " O, pupa, I never bad annh a Happy New Year in my life!"
" And you don't pine away for the gay gallants yonhave left behind,-with no one but an old rusty fellow like me, eb ?" "Pine!" She gave a Kttle smile of ineffable amnsemTnt spiced with scorn. " Why, papa, yon are worth a hnndred of them; and I-shall never marry until I find just suoh an old rusty fellow!" And laughing lightly "in a bright tinkle of merriment, ahe went up the narrow stair¬ way to tbe tiny room, singing as ahe went that very Era stella dei malino.
And tbb was Bun's Happy New Year ho had thonght she would lose.
So wiater passed, and spring found them keeping excellent company—they two togetber.
Whatever of care or dbcomfort..and hard, bitter struggles, John Baylie en¬ conntered fighting hb way up again, he entered his home, and was only in tbe presence of hb daughter the most agree¬ able companion she had ever met.
Whatever of inconvenience, of depriva¬ tion Rosamond Baylie endured, her fath¬ er's presanoe every night compensated.
Bnt one day a knowledge cams to her whioh broke up the serene repose of her life. Tha servant they kept was an qld nurse—Rosamond's foster-mother.
As Mr. Baylie went ont tbat morning she looked after bim, mattering, " He'a growing tbin nnder it!"
Her yoong mbtress overheard her. "What b  that you  say, Kathie?— Who's growing thin under it ?"
Kathie thus surprbed, answered.— " Tour father. Miss Rosamond. He'a so afVaid you vrill want for anything, he sits up o' nights working, working till almost morning."
A flush passed over Rosamsnd'a face. In her ignorance aho had not aeen that even so small an establbhment required considcmble exertion to keep it up. And here she had been idle while he was wearing himself out. What oonld she do ? Who oould adviae hor ? Saddenly gbe remembered one who had proved himaelf a true gentleman, if not a friend, on that painful night. He was a lawyer. She had been told that lawyers bad a vast amonut of copying done. Without another thcught she dressed herself, searched out the lawyer's address from the directory, and started for the cares. It wanted but five minutes to the time of leaving, bnt she reached the depot in season, and was soon whirling over tho road to New Tork.
" A lady, sir, to see you," the clerk communicates carelessly, and returns to hb desk outside. Mr. Waring goes on writing, finishes his document, then touches ths spring of the bell.
"Here," to the olerk, "file thb with No. 30.    O, Jamesj did you say some one wanta to aee me ?" " Yes, a lady, sir."
" Show her in, I will see her now;" and Renshawe Waring yawns rather wearily over.the expected interview with some one of hb numerous clients.
Simply dressed as she b, he does not reoognize thc young girl before him; for the little Bun hc remembers was clothed like a fairy princess. A word recalls. " Miss Baylie ! I beg your pardon." With the same composure as on an¬ other ocoasion she states her errand.— Perhaps Renshawe Waring had fifty just such applicants every day. He was ob¬ liged to dbappoint forty out «f- fifty, if not more. He did not dbappoint Rosa¬ mond Baylie, howover, but made up a roll for her which would keep her employed a week.
" So you are out of town, your father tells me," he remarks  to her as he is making up tho package. " Tes."
"It is a pleasant old plaoe—Ware- hill."
" Do you know it, Mr. Waring ?" " I was born there, Mbs Baylie.    The property used to be called Waring Hill, but it got reduced to Warehill, which the eountry people shorten to ' Warell.' "
She laughed a little, remembering Kathie's very pronunoiation.
Presently rbiog to go, thanking him with a cool dignity which she migbt bave given had he done some servioe of gal¬ lantry at a party, she adds, "We shonid be pleased to see yon, Mr. Waring, at Warehill."
He thanked her cordially, smiling in a moment when she said, "I think papa must need better sociely than I am to him.    I fanoy be gets lonely."
" But you," be resumed, " do you not get lonely with only ' papa ?' "
" I don't think anybody could be lone¬ ly with ' papa.' "
Mr. Waring bowed, witb a pleasant oompliment for " papa," and hb visitor went out mollified. " Thaf s Jobn Bay- lie's own daugbter I" mused the la-wjer as be resumed hb papers. " I shouldn't like to tell bim her errand to-day, bow¬ ever. But it's a brave little girl.' Tbb work will eaaeber heart. I'm glad I gava it to her."
Many times after this be thought he would accept her frank invitation to oall npon papa," but one thing and'another put it off, and thus spring went and aum¬ mer deepened.   -
Regularly, however, aho mads ber calb at hb office for " copying," and aa regularly was it supplied;
Meanwbile life at Warehill moved on more smoothly than before. The little fund wbicb -was paying in so seoretly bad lightened tbe load.
" Kathie, you mnat be growing econo¬ mical," Mr. Baylie half jeatingly observ¬ ed one day, "Tour housekeeping bUk are wonderfully rediicied."
" Bless you, sir,;' answered the fdithful Kathie, to whom BoBamoDd'sRacret was as saored aa deatb, " rammer, you sm, makes all tha difeience in - Om ¦ world.—
So Mr. Baylie was lovingly deoaived.
It was toward tbe latter part of tbe summer that Mr. Waring, out ridmg, made the oall ha had bean contemplating so long. It was weU nnderstood between himself and Mbs BayUe tbat her father was to be ignorant of ber bnsiness ac- qnaintanoe with: bim; so ho inust pnt thb oall upon the Ibt of accidents, for John Baylie in bb sensitive pride had never invited him.
The sound of a flute came to bim witb a piano accompaniment as he rode up.— " Mias Baylie haa a visitor," he pre¬ sumed.

The presumption was incorrect, for the door atood wide open, and wbile he wait¬ ed on the atepa he saw it was only "papa."
"Mr. Baylie's "Pleased to see you, Mr. Waring," was somewhat stiff and haughty of tone, but by-and-by hb old love of genial society warmed up un¬ der Mr. Waring's sympathetic tastea; and when Mr. Waring left, there was as cordial an invitation to repeat tbe visit from the bost as from the hostesa. The ice once broken, he formed tho habit of dropping in upon them qnite frequently, and Rosamond enjoyed her father's en¬ joyment of thb new and valuable acces¬ sion to his belated life more than any¬ thing else.
Into all their brillmnt talks—and there were few more brilliant talkers or deeper thinkers than John Baylie and Renshawe Waring—little Buu flung her delicate thread of thought, led on by her father,
who never for one moment forgot her	
In sucb pleasant ways the summer went and antnmn oame. Then winter brought again the great roaring fires, but stiil Kathie's housekeeping 'was as myteriona- ly economised as ever. '. Mr. Baylie couldn't see into it, he said; but Ka¬ thie's ingenuity here again beguiled him. "I'm getting used to the ways of the houae, you aee, air, and that makes all the difference in the world," she said.— Thb rather ambiguous sentence amused him somewhat, but he thought. Kathie knew what she meant better than be did. One day in December Rosamond came in, cheeks and lips aglow, and eyes spark¬ ling with the nows; " 0, suoh splendid skating do-wn to Warehill pond ! Will you try it with me papa ?"
It grieved John Baylie to refuse the least pleasure to one whose pleasures were so limited; but he never skated. She had not seen Mr. Waring as sha entered; but hearing what she said, he came for¬ ward and offered his services. If Miss Baylie would allow him he would try his skill once. He could skate very well years ago. Miss Baylie was frankly de¬ lighted, and the next time Renshawe Wa¬ ring appoared he was ready to attend her. Now it muat be confessed that Bun was an awkward little skater; sbe was on¬ ly trying, yon know; but Mr. Waring was as firm as sho was unsteady, and many a tumble he saved her by his steady gui¬ dance. Leaving hi* daughter in auch good handa, John Baylie waa content to remain over his booka or writing indoors. But in those hands sho was learning a new lesson.    And Renshawe Waring ?
Renshawe Waring had for years db- dained general society. Once he had been a leader in it, brilliant and admired Soma experience had ohanged the cur¬ rent, and he became what we see him at forty, a profonnd and successfnl lawyer. The sooiety he disdained said he was a disappointed man. He did not appear 80 now. Waa Renshawe Waring learn¬ ing a new lesson too ?
After muoh careful teaohings Miss Rosamond determined to try her strength alone. It was one afternoon just at sun¬ set, a cold still day, and the pond was like a surface of glasa. Away she went, skimming over its smoothness in a very creditable manner; but at last she turns a false step, and she wavers—a giddy fear comes across her.
"0, Mr. Waring," she exolaims. Mr. Waring did not need the oall; he sees her distress—one awift movement, and as she wavers again, with outstretched arms he approaches, and as she falb he catches ber against his breast. For a moment he holds her there.
" Little Bun, you oouldn'.t do without me here. I wish I could always be as necessary to you. Will you trust your¬ self with me for life, my darling ?"
Her "Tes," low spoten, filled bis beart with happiness.
Then home he took her straight into the presence of John Baylie, with these direct words: " Mr. Baylie, will you give me your little Bun ?" For a brief space the father's heart felt a sharp pang. His little Bun ! all he had in the world !— Then the snre safety, tbe happiness for her trinmphed; andhe put out bishand: " Mr. Waring, I believe you are wortby even of little Bun. I hope you love ber half as well as her father does."
"Bnt I cannot- leave my father, Mr. Waring, when, when—"
"Tou blessed child, you never ahall I I do not think / could leave your father. Bun."
Thus they settled it. Again it is the first of Jannary, and in a low, wide room, where the fire burns and blazes np the chimney, Rosamond Baylie sits a bride—the wife of Renshawe Waring. Once more little Bun has her happy New Tear. The great world that a year ago scorned her now fiiids out ite mbtake, and opens its arms to her; but tbcja arc deeper arms within whose shel¬ tering fold she finds.happinesa.
