I love lhat baby-boy, and why V I loved hia mother long before
She ceased lo sing her lullaby. To china dolls upon llie iioor.
Whene'er she threw her playthings by, I lingered at her side the whiie ;
And -waited wilh a jealous eye. To catch her first approving smile.
And when she bloomed a maiden fair, The promise of her building grace,
I often stroked her golden hair. And wooed thc rose to her face.
And once beneatli a maiden fair.
When we were dreaming side by side.
Sweet girl, I drew her close to me. And told her ghe should be by bride.
No whisper from her lips replied, But in her eyes the answer shone :
She nestled closer to my side, And pressed her heart agaiost my  own.
'Twas all we said,, what I have told. The whiie beneath the maple tree;
And yet a volume would not hi id The meaning of those words to me.
"We parted there at even-tide. To meet as we had met beforo;
Nor heard thc breezes when thy sighed Their raven cry of '* Nevermore !"
.\h: falal winds that bore away
My bark upou the worldly tide! ¦I floated 'raid the fair and gaj-. And she became another's bride.
But now I hear across the alreet, A youthful motlier's roundelay;
And echoes in my heart repeal The ditty of another day.
The shouting of a cherub boy.
Commingled witli the mother's glee; How time haa vivified the loy
She rocked upon her molher'a knee !
I breathe no idle well .away. Nor longing aigh for other'a joy ;
But while I hear that roundelay, I love, I love another'a boy.
lOSmG A lOVEK.
" What on earth has become of Lucy Taylor's beau?" queried Aunt Dorcas Jones; " I havn't seen hiui here in town since that picnio over to the Loug Pond." " Oh, that match is brokeu up long ago," said the widow Perkins, who had jnst dropped into tea.
" Do tell!" exclaimed good Aunt Dor¬ cas, vigorously kneading hsr biscuits.— " Well, it dqes heat all how very change¬ able the young folks are gettiug to be— girls especially. ^Now I thought he seem¬ ed to be a real likely youug man indeed, and Lucy Taylor is a right smart, pretty looldng girl.    It seems a pity."
"Well, all I know abont it," s^d the widow, " is that 'Squire Taylor's hired girl told my Jernshal Ann that she didn't believe they were rightly engaged, bnt be'd been paying attention to Luoy while she was awayat sehool, and after she went home, he came up to speud the vacation with Fred Taylor, and see how the old folks would be suited. While he was up there something or other must have hap¬ peued, for the hired girl said sbe knew Lucy never got any lettere from him, and hadn't got his picture, because she'd searched everywhere for it. May be he he tumed out to be a forger, or something .dreadful; you cau't calculate on young men now-adays."
And the widow rocked herself oompla-. cently, as if it would have been rather a satisfaction to her to know that the young man in question was a scamp. . " Maybe so," said Aunt Dorcas, reflec¬ tively ; " auy way it's a pity; it seemed such a nico match." . While the two old gossips are specula¬ ting, dear reader, I'll tell you, confidently, how it really happened that Luoy Taylor lost her lover.
Nobody ever said Lucy Tajlor was a beauty, and   only   her   partial   frieuds thought ber uncommonly pretty; butshe had just snoh a sweet,  gentle, loveable faee as you may meet a dozen times a day npon the crowded streets, and there   was something so delightfully fresh aud char¬ ming about her, that she seemed to draw all hearts to her hy some  magic  of her own.     Without  being remarkable   for either beauty, wit, or wisdom, she never¬ theless reigned supreme iu her own  cir¬ cle, and tbat cirole was by no means small. So when she left the quiet little village, aud went away to the  Seminary   in the busy city of B—, she  quietly  won her way to a higb place in the regard ofhoth teachers and pupils.   Some of the teach¬ ers, it is true, wished at times Lucy was a little more prompt and thorough in her reoitationB; there were so many little gold¬ en grains dropped out and overlooked by hsr that, thongh she gathered up a toler¬ able   sheaf  from  the harvest  fields of knowledge, the careful, studious toilers founcl mnoh that she lost.
''Lnoy isn't tJioroitgi enongh; butit aeems to be her only fault, and die may improve." ' Tliia was the general tealimo- ny to.her<shai>oter.
OntaidejoifSeinuiuy Walls, Lucy foniid many admireni;^andoneof fliese; Henify Weston, waa gflnerally regarded in the
' light of" Lniy'a' lover. How Lu(^ her¬ self looked'uipoui him was not definitely knowii j'hnt biie'thing was certain: after making a diUgeht use of the few oppor¬ tunities afforded by seminary rales for social intercourse, the young m«n was most opportunely invited, by Lucy's brother Fred, to Come np to Ardley and help him spend his summer vaoation agreeably. Of couise he acoepted, for Fred Taylor was auch a capital fellow, and it would be such a relief to get out of the city for a few weeks. Then—I am not sure that this reflection came last —Lucy would be at.home; and who haa not felt the romance and witchery of country walks and rambles, moonlight, twilight, shade, sentiment and roses ?
If Lucy was charming in the hot glare of eity gas-lights, what wonld she be in the pure, untroubled atmosphere of home. Young Weston leaned back in hia chair, with Fred's note between his fingers, and pictured that home to himself as "a brtjad, green country place," and Lucy as the presiding divinity, shedding beauty, sweetness pnd odor through the whole.— It was very pleasant to think of, and, as he contemplated the vision, the miuutes slipped so rapidly away, that he eame within a second of heing late at his place in bank—a thing that had never happen¬ ed before, in all his prompt, methodical business life. Partly from nature, and partly from years of trMuing in abusiness that required the utmost thoroughness aud precision, Henry Weston's leading characteristic was a carefnl attention to the smallest details of whatever came un¬ der his hand to do. His employers trnsted him entirely, knowing that no item entrusted to his overaight wonld be neglected or let slip for want of care or prompt attention. It was a oharacter worth possessing, and the sagacious ones were not far wrong when they prophesied that he would take a higher place in the bank before many years. Certainly, he waa earning promotion.
Vacation days slipped around, and Mr. Henry Weston made his arrival in Ard¬ ley, having been duly heralded a week before by the "hired girl," so that there were plenty of curious eyes regarding the great lumbering hack as it drew up in front of 'Squire Taylor's house. There was the homestead, just as he had pictur¬ ed it—large aud breezy, with ita graceful shadowing elms; there was 'Squire Tay¬ lor, dignified and portly; his delicate, lady-like wife, who must have been once just what Lucy was now; there, was Fred, with his rough, hearty greeting; aud timid, fluttering Lucy, looking fairer, fresher, more enchanting than ever, in her pretty home dress of delicate lawn.
That very evening, as they all sat to¬ gether in the qneer old sitting-room, and Lucy sang to a simple accompani¬ ment, "The Ingle Side," and such old- fashioned songs as pleased her father best, young Weston gave himself up for lost and decided that he really was in love.— Fred. Taylor, with his hearty zest for hunting, fishing, rowing and all country pastimes, gave his friend little choice, but to devote his time to vigorous tramps and rides through meadow and thicket in search of sport. So it naturally hap¬ pened that, when night brought them home, they were ravenously hungry, aud too tired to be either brilliant or senti¬ mental, and thus the wooing went on slow¬ ly- ¦
One day, afler a week had been wasted as Weston mentally declared, a violent shower drove tho young sportsmen home in thc middle of the afternoon. It was pleasant, as they mshed into the yard drenched and mnddy, to oatch a glimpse of Lucy's faee at the window, as she sat contentedly with her sewing, and Weston blessed the thunder shower that had brought him the privilege of a quiet after¬ noon with her.
They ascended by the back stairs to Fred's room; but, before they had half completed the process of donning fresh suita of clothing, and putting themselves in drawing-room trim, the sun burst forth again in all its glory. To Fred's eye there was something aggravating in this —a sort of provoking " don'tryou-wish- you'd-staid expression, to the clear sun¬ beams, that seemed to have been gather¬ ing brightness all the time.
"There," said he, regretfully, "we might just as well have ataid; we were wet through anyhow, aud I kuow I should have had that pickerel in half an hour longer. We might go hack now"—and he looked doubtfully  at Weston.
"Mlt I," was the emphatio answer; 'I shall stay where I am for the present. Be¬ sides, I have conscientious scruples abont that pickerel. I believe it is the very one you have come so near catching every vaoation for two years, and I am not going to see you mnrder him." "Oh, what sun¬ shine!" exclaimed Fred; "and raining, too. There must be a rainbow some¬ where."
And he leaned out of the window with boyish enthsiasm to look at it.
"I can just see the end," said he bring¬ ing in his his dripping head, and cross¬ ing tho hall in another room. "Come over here, Weston," he shouted, in a mo¬ ment after; "there's a splendid view here from Lucy's room, and it's just the most perfect arch that ever was."
Now Weston'felt some  delicate scru¬ ples adout invading a lady's apartment; but then, Luoy'sroont.'    Hehad avague desire to -visit such an  enchanted place, and,at all events,  how could  he refnse Fred's repeated summons ?    So he cross¬ ed the hall, with hisbeart in a  delight¬ ful tremor, and entered the  sacred pre¬ cincts, scarcely daring to cast a glance a- bouthim.   Oh, spirit,of neatness !    Oh, goddess of order!    Who shall describe the room where he found himaelf?    The floor was un8wept;tbe bed was unmade; tbe wash-stand was a miscellaneous collec¬ tion of combs, brushes, soiled toweb and soap-suds.   Slippers, dresses—every ar¬ ticle of female  apparel—were  lying in. confusion upon bed, bureau, and  chairs; while'tbe curtain, half torn from its sup¬ port, trailed dismally on the floor.   Now that Weston saw all these  items of dis¬ comfort, he only took ina general im¬ pression from one- liasty sorvey, aa he strode desperatfelyto the" open window. "Isn't it glorions?" -smd' Fred; "and only see how finely the village is lighted npagainatthatbapkgronndof blMk coiild.' Ardley is the prettiest Tilkge in all New SngUnd, I believe."
Ah, Fred 1 yciu little thought in what bewildered ears you were conringyour rhapsody.
"I beUevo you have taken cold," he added, amoment after, aa he noticed ttia exprfflsionor Weston's fece; "kt's-go down to the fire—I forgot that you are not accustomed to duckings, as I am."
The thoughtless, good natured fellow shut the window, and followed Weston out of the room, kicking one of Lucy's dainty slippers aside, that prevented his closing the door. It went spinning into the hall, and lay there, a silent-witness of the invasion.
Down in the sitting-room was Lucy, as faultiess as ever in all her appointments, and Weston drew his hand across his eyes with a vagne impression thathe had been dreaming unpleasantly. The hours of the aftemoon aud evening flew rapid¬ ly and pleasantly by, with books, and musio, and social chat; and if -visions of that untidy room ever thrust themselves upon Weston's mind, he put them reso¬ lutely away, and went heartily into the amusements of the honr. Alone in his own room, he made a dozen plausible theories to acconnt for the condition of things—perhaps it was not Luo/s room atall; Fred was such a blundering fel¬ low ; at all events he conld not think of casting away his idol for oue unlucky diaoovery; so, with thoughts roaming iu a beautiful future, Weston fell alseep.
" I am sorry," said 'Squire Taylor at the breakfast table next moming, " that I find myself obliged to send Fred away on business to-day; but I dare say Lucy will do what she can to entertain you till he oomes back."
"DeUghtful!" thonght Weaton to himself; " a whole day without dragging up and down those ever-lasting trout- books, or tramping through the brush after imaginary patridges and rabbits, that never were there and never will be." So with many assurances that there was not the least danger of his having a dull time, he -watohed Fred ride away gaily on his black pony, snapped his fin¬ gers aa he closed the gate, and went back to the honse to propose to Lucy a ride to the romantic littie lake they had toldhim so mnch abont. Lucy was good enough to say sbe would be delighted to go, but sundry household matters would detain her half an honr or so. In the mean¬ time her cavalier brought the carriage to the door, looked with habitual caution after every strap and buckle of the har¬ uess, and tben went np to his room, with a masculine idea that a woman's half hour was a very indefinite period indeed.
Now the room direotiy nnder his was occupied by au ancient spinster, a distant relative of the family, called by way of courtesy, Cousiu Barbara. This Cousin Barbara, having one of those shivery na¬ tures that never seems to get comfortably warm, insisted upon keeping her stove all the year round, and, as the pipe pass¬ ed up through the floor of Weston's room on its way to the chimney, it formed, as you ean easily imagine, an excellent con¬ ductor of sound—a regular speaking- trampet. Weston knew he should be sure to hear Lucy when she left her room, so he made himself easy, and had nearly finished writing a letter when he heard her door open, and her little feet go pat¬ tering down the stairs. He was just fol¬ lovring when her voice caught his ear from the room below.
" Oh, Couain Barbara, your needle is always threaded; just put a stitch into my gaiter here. £ can't find my thimble and I mustn't keep Mr. Weston waiting." " I should like to see the time," said Cousin Barbara, tartly, "when you could go anywhere -without stopping to mend something or other."
"Oh, well," said Lney, pleasantiy, "your occupation would be gone if you had'nt me to mend and scold."
The only answer was a sort of growl, and iu a moment there was a kind of "spud!' aa if the artiele to be mended had been tossed npon the floor. This was followed almost instantly by au excited exclamation: |
" For mercy's sake, Lucy Taylor! you aren't going riding with them ragged stookings on ?"
" They won't show through my shoes," was the quiet answer, "and I haven't any better ones."
" S'pose you should get tumed over, and sprain your angle ?" said Couain Bar¬ bara, stalking aronnd the room. " Any way, you'll know they're ragged yonrself, and before I'd wear a hole inside of my shoes, I'd have them fnll of—of,'
" Coals of fire," suggested Lucy, with an aggravating little laugh.
" No, gravel stoues," concluded Cousin Barbara, ts Luoy flitted out of the room. Poor Weston, who heard every word of this colloquy, felt so muoh ashamed of himself that he conld hardly look Lucy iu the face; bnt she looked as fresh, aud sweet, and beauteous as a morning glory, with the dew still wet npon it.
"lam safe for the present," thought Weston, as he handed her into the car. riage; " no danger of my committing my¬ self to-day."
And yet it is a fact that, several timea before evening, he was only saved from venturing his fate, npon one bold move by a timely recoUeoltion of grim Cousin Barbara and the unlucky stockings.
It was a pleasaiit day, and yet not quite as enchanting aa he promised himself; and he was not very sorry tobe once more at bome, and meet Fred's jovial faoe at the cheerful tea-table.
Theu came the old rontine of hnnting and fishing for a few days more till, at last, the good people of Ardley concluded to get up a grand pic-nic at Long Pond. Everybody was tobe there, old and young J and the Taylors entered heartily into the preparations for the oocasion, by provid¬ ing an untold amount of eatables, both dainties and substantiab. The eventful day arrived, and after spending a weari¬ some morning in helping Fred to build tebles in the grove where the snpper vas tobe spread, Weston sought his room,for a bath and a hap, before the family shonid be ready to set ont. Half-dozing on the lonnge, he became suddenly consoioaa of Lucy's voice coming np again from Oonsin
«'Con»iB,^irb«nt plSM»a»V% .f«cin'p>n*3^^
my collar for me-^-do; and saothflt in my sash behind."
Weston snbmded;- but nninereiful Cousin BMljiroJ'tliisre'aBemed to b« no 'eTBdiDgherArgas eyiea.
''Ofil things, Lioy. Taylor, haven't you finishciiJ this' dress yet f^—and wom it so many timesi Here's the skirt only pinned and basted on; and, as true as I live, no cording on the neok I"
«Well," said Lucy, not one bit dis¬ turbed, " who Wiil be the wiser for what is uhder my collar 1 and you shall see how nicely my sash covers the skirt. There, now, don't I look as neat as a pin f"
Consin Barbara muttered something about "whited Kpulchrei" that Westen did not stop to hear, for he seized his hat and rushed frantically into Fred's room, astonishing that worthy into an impolite exolamiation.
" It's so hot in my room," said Weaton apologetically.
" I'll warrant Cousin Barbara has got up a fire," said Fred, laughing. "I don't believe that woman was ever warm in her life. She ought te Hve in the tor¬ rid zone, wherever that is."
Bvery one said it was a deligbtfhl pic¬ nic, and every one said Lucy Taylor never looked prettier in her life than she did in her dress of deHoate blue, and the few white flowers in her hair. Weston, too, looked admiringly upon her.;, bnt he walked and danced with her in constant terror, lest, by some unlucky step, he might bring to light the secrets concealed by the sash about her slender waist, and he found himself gianoing nervously at her collar, lest it mightby some chanoe become unfastened.
« What if she were my wife ?" hc said to himself; " she would keep me in a stete of continual martyrdom."
The next day Weston astonbhed the Taylors by annonnoing the necessity of hb immediate retum to the city, as hb presence was needed at the bank. Fred remonstrated vigoriously, the 'Squire po¬ litely urged hb fnrther hospitalities, and Lucy was secretly dbappointed; but, in spite of all, the portmanteau was packed, aud the lumbering hack directed to call in season for the evening train.
"I dare not trust myself another day," said Weston, mentally, "for I shonid forget everything, and make myself and Lnoy mberable for life."
So Henry Weaton came no more to Ardley, and the village gossips looked and waited in -vian for tokens of an ap¬ proaching wedding at 'Squire Taylor's. After a while they settied down in the conviction that the promised matoh was really given up; bnt the -msest of them never oould conjecture wliy Lucy Taylor lost lier hver!
NOT DEAFTED.
Suuday afternoon, in a certain rustio town, the shaded streets were deserted, aud the shutters of private residences most jealously closed, for the day was still intensely hot. All the week there had been a tempest in this small teapot yclept Milford, touching upon eertain matters of public ahd private interest con¬ nected with «the draft;" and very help¬ ful to excited minds must have been the perfect qniet which, for the last twelve hours,'had brooded over the ontward life of the inhabitants.
George Ayers, sauntering down Stete street, tumed into the gate leading to Squire Peyton's residence, and went slowly up the gravelled walk, switehing the roses and honeysuckles with hb cane, and grumbling about the hot weather.— Lizzie Peyton, who had been sitting on the steps leading out of the library, came to meet him.
"What have you been doing with yourself all thb hot day, George ?"
" Trying to keep cool, Lizzie—that's a fact; and.I've been to chnroh jnst a littie while tMs afternoon to retura thanks ou account of not being drafted." Lizzie blushed indignantly. " 0, George, George ! you don't mean that, surely ?"
" Why not ? Patriotism b a very fine thing inj its way; but aotive service in snch hot weather as thb is a littie too severe. Probably a winter campugn would not be so hard. I don't think I should mind it then." Now, Lizzie ~waa engaged to George Ayers, and had been so for two years, and had fancied that she was devoted to him; but she hadbeen away from home for the last six months, and nntil lately knew nothing of his sen¬ timents on war matters. Coming home, full of loyal enthasiasm for our cause, she had found him ripened into an altogether diflTerent man firom what her immature fancy had pictured him. He smiled at her outburst of generous indignation against the rebellion, and criticbed the conduot of public affiiirs but never lifted hand or voice to aid in the struggle. An indignant aversion to thb cold selfishness had been growing up within her for the last few days; bnt, as she Ibtened to hb last remarks, and thought of recent bat¬ tlea—long "rows of graves, hospitab fnll of wounded, and streets fnll of maimed and shattered soldiers, and all the generons sacrifices of a nation made in the name of truth and freedom, the hot impulsive thoughts that throbbed within her con¬ gealed into a cold indignation.
She tumed her full clear blue eyes npon bim with a steely look, and sud with the least spice of frigid scom.
" I really cannot imagine what the weather has to do vrith a man's doing hb duty, under any ciroumstances, ahd in any emergency,.in a manly niihher."
He felt the ont, and endeavored to de¬ fend himself by finding fanlt with the Qovemment, as usual.
" But when the sacrifice of blood and treasure b all in vain, what b the use of wasting more wben uothing b to he gain¬ ed ? We have been blundering along in such a way that to-4ay we are sa far from a restoration of the Union as we were at the beginning of the war."
A grand look came over Lizzie's face, as she regarded thb creatnre of little faith, which no more spiritwd vbion than a mole and no more enthnsiasm t^an an
Barbara'a room. He started up in » «jster; and she had thought to mite with nervona dread, while the mental exolami^ thb narrow soul, who oonM not aeesn tion, "T^y on earth cah^t she Iceep ».'ina'bejroi^ *« f™«m towhom'

" The blunders inade in the generalship of onr anni6s is cooling my eihthusiasm."
The firm response was: •
" Ne, msttor how msny mbtekes are committed in the name of liberty, no crime or mbtake committed in its name justifies ns in loving it lesa or in sacrificing lees for it Suppose any one had done me a -wrong, would yon be justified by that in withholding yonr help, or in being less my friend ? There's yonr doctrine applied to a giyen case."
" Lizzie, you are a perfect mouemanUc on the snbject ofthe war," he exolaimed impatientiy, feeling that he had. the worst of ttie argnment. " Every ruflSan and rowdy can wear shoulder-straps now."
"Pray, sir, don't get personal in your remarks. A commission in active serviae b the best letter of recommendation that any gentleman oan bring me."
"Yes, I knowwhat ailSyon, Miss Pey¬ ton," broke out the ptqipyfied yonng mas¬ culine. "I've notified it ev&, since your retum. You've been getting up some sort of an affiur with some vagabond scamp in shoulder-straps while you've been gone, and now you want to break -with me."
"You have saved me the trouble of doing it, sir," aaid the indomitable Pey¬ ton, getting up -with a grand air, and looking like an iceberg sculptured into some beantifiil human shape. She delib¬ erately drew a ring from her flngei, lud it befora him, and had swept into the li¬ brary, olosing the door after her before he could recover breath for a second at¬ teck.
But, oh ! how she sat down in the dust and bewailed over the broken fragment of her idol—^herself a fond, regretful icon¬ oclast ! For henceforth the vail was down, and she loattied from her very heart the petty malice and selfishness whose exbtence she had never suspected before.
But he had wronged her in hb grossly worded charge. At Newfri irs, where she bad been vbiting, it was not known pub¬ licly that she was engaged, and here she had met Legrand Curtis. IThey had been a good deal tegether, but she had never dreamed of loving him. Her heart was full of George Ayres. She saw that Le¬ grand Curtb was a man of rare qualities, and sbe sud, proudly, " My George b auch another!"
He had been kind and tender, bnt she had thonght him only brotherly. She had been obliged to leave for home very snddenly, duriag an absence of hb from towo, and so she had only left him a friendly parting by proxy. Now she tBbnght of Legfand Curtb, and in her heart contrasted him with George Ayres.
" He would never aot so, I kuow," she murmured._
And she begaa to feel a straage pun at the thought that she should never see him again, perbaps.
It was now quite dark, and she had been lying face downward on a divan in the gloomiest comer of the library for more than half an honr, when she heard voices in the adjoining parlor, and some one asking for Miss Peyton.
It oould never be! And yet, surely that was Legrand' Curtb's voice. But how came he here? And with her thoughts in a whirl of confused perplexi¬ ty she sprang up, forgetting her flushed face and dbordered hair, and hurried at once through the foldingdoors tosatbfy herself.
"Mias Peyton 1"
And Miss Peyton stood half bewilder¬ ed nnder the bright glare of the gas which the servant lighted just at that moment, with her hand held in both thoae of Legrand Xinrtis; and seeing in his faoe what there was no need for words to toll—that ihe, and she alone, was the cause of hb being there.
"Ihave come all tbb dbtence to tell yon something," he said, " and it may as well be spoken now."
So they went out into tie moonlit garden. He had not thought of the pos¬ sibility of her. being engaged; and if Lizzie had not been so preoccupied with the one thought of George Ayers, she would have seen, long ago, to what his attentions tended. He had decided to speak to her before her departure for home; and when he retumed, and fonnd her gone ao unexpectedly—himself ex¬ pecting to take the field at the head of a company in a week—he -was more than ever strengthened in hb inclination to follow her and settle the a&ir at once.— So he told her about hb approaching campaign.
"Perhaps you will not Kke tbat, Liz¬ zie," he said, raefnlly.
" 0 Legrand ! Can you think so mean¬ ly of me as that ?" she said reproachfully. " I'm only sorry that I cannot go with yon; bnt I'm ten times prouder of you as it b."
" And so you want me to go away and get killed!    Crnel littie thing!"
But she locked both her hands npon hu arm, and laid her face against hie shoulder, like a- petted kitten, and said, sweetiy and gravely:
" Not that, Legrand, yon know. Bnt Glod makes no mistekes. None of us can die nntil our appointed tame comes; and you will be juat as safe on the battle-field aa you are here, -with my hands olasping. yon.- But I don't know how I shall bear it, dear."
Then she told him fhe story of her en gagement, and when she had conolnde'8 tumed to him with red oheeks and flash¬ ing eyes, saying:    ¦
" Wasn't I right, Legrand ?"

A STOET FOE IHX UTTIE FOLKS.
Hattie and the Flnm-Tree; or Blos¬ soms aind Fmit.
It is very pleasant in the spring of the year, after the snow and the ioe and the cold of dreary winter have gone,te watch the green grass as it grows higher every day, or tha trees and shrubs as tfaey put out tfaeir leaves, dressing tfaemselves in bright, new, clean olothes.
Then, wfaen the sun throws more hett upon tfae eartb,how delightful it b tosee the buds swell on the fruit trees, until they spread themselves out and become flowera as beautiful and fragrant as any in the garden.
Hattie Jonea loved very much to. walk in her fatfaer's garden, and look at all tfaat was growing there. She faad a flow¬ er-bed for faerself, tfaough I am sorry to say sfae did not attend to it as futfafuUy as sfae migfat. I may tell you more about that, before I get through -with my story.
Who Hattie Jones was, or where she lived, b not amatter of mucfa cousequence aa far as my object in writing thb story b concerned. Perfaaps before I finbfa, some ofmy readers may find out tfaat tfaey knew some one very much like her.
One day, wfaen Hattie and her fatfaer were walking, admiring tfae spring flow¬ ers and frnit blossoma, they came to a plum-tree that was all white with its open¬ ing buda.
'¦'0 father!" aaid the littie girl, "see there!   How pretty that tree looks !
" It b indeed beautiful, my ahild," said her father, " Do you know what kind of a tree it b ?"
" Ofa ? yes," repUed Hattie, " it b a plum-tree, won't we faave loU of plums tfab year."
I must stop my story here a moment to say a lot seems to be a measure that b nsed only among children, and the exact size of wfaicfa is unknown. Some cfail¬ dren say "a lot," some "a big lot," otfaers " a whole lot," and others still, as Miss Hattie, " lots."
Now in all tfae arithmetics aud teble- books I ever saw—aud I have seeu a good many in my time—^I never yet saw anytfaing about "lots." I faave seen tfae names of the measures in use among the old Hebrews, and Greeks, and Bomans, but none of them seem to have faad any "lots."
Among the Hebrews there was a mea¬ snre called a "log," but that held less than a pint, and was only used for mea¬ suring liquids. The "lot," if I know anything about it, holds a great many pints, and is used to measure all sorte of
I have heard children speak of a lot of stones, and a lot of cider, and a lot of ap¬ ples, and a lot of water, and a lot of books, and a lot of money; and there vras oue boy who said of another, wbo often felt the rod of correction : " He gels big lots of floggings."
I am puzzled, therefore, to know ex¬ actly what b meant by " lots." Bnt I suppose Hattie meant that the tree would have a great many plums on it. So her fatfaer understood faer, for he said, when she spoke of " lota of plums."
" What makes you tfaink tfaat we shall have a large quantity of plums ?"
"Because the tree b full of blossoms," was the little girl's answer.
" And do you really tfaink," said her father, " that the tree will have as many plums on it, by-and-by, as it has blos¬ soms, now ?"
" To be sure I do," was Hattie's an¬ swer.   .« Don't you tMnk it will ?"
" No, my child, I do not think it will. I never yet heard of a tree tfaat faad as many plums as blossoms. Blossoms do not always bring firuit.
" Why not," said the littie girl, look¬ ing up astonbhed in her father's face.
Jnst as she asked tfab question, and before her father had time to answer it, there oame a sudden gust of wind whioh shook the tree under which they were standing, and sent a shower of white blossoms to the ground, where they lay, looking like snow-flakes. *
" See tfaere, Hattie," said faer fatfaer, " do you think any of tfaose blossoms on tfae ground will turn into plums ?"
"I sfaould think not," said Hattie.— " But we sfaall have lofs of plums yet, for (he tree b still full of blossoms."
"But suppose tliero oomoa moro wind,
as tfaere very likely will, before these blossoms turn into fruit 1"
" But I don't think they will all blow ofij" said Hattie.
"Nor do I," said her fatfaer. " But some of them certunly will. Then there are other things besides the wind wMch will hinder the plums from coming."
" Wfaat are tfaey," the littie girl asked.
"Wait and you -will see," was all tfae answer her father gave her at tfaat time.
In a few days, tfae blossoms faad all db- appeared. But when Hattie looked closely into the tree, she saw a great many green stems, each as long as a pin. They were fasened to tho branohes of tbe tree in clustere of twp or three.
Her fajher picked one of tfaese littie stems off for her. At tfae eod of it where the white part of the blossom had lieeB, tfaere was notMng now save a green cup, from which there rose a dozen or more short, pale-looking threads, each one hav¬ ing a littie brown ball at the end.
Theae he took off with hb finger, and with his pooket knifed ont tho: sides of the itteenonpiill away, iand ttien there Wis BottuBg IsA Vi't V little ^reen ball, Botimnohliiger iBiiiili'e^liiud of i'pik. 1    "What u ttiat?" said Hattie.
" Whatdoyou-thinkit b ? Wfaat does it look like ?" said her fattier.
" It liroks like a littie pea," the littie girl replied.  ,.. .
" But yon wonldn't expect to find peas on a plum tree, would you, Hattie ?"
"No, I expect to find plnms there.— But that little thing b n'ot a plum, is it ?" '' It b indeed a plnm, my child, though a very, very small  one.    Shall  I out it open, and show you tfae pit inside of it ?" " O! yes, please do," said Hattie. So Mr. Jones laid tfae littie plum care¬ fully on the palm of fais hand, and gently cut right through it witfa fab knife.    He then took from hb pocket a small glass, and told Hattie to look tfarough it at the opeued plnm.   She did so, and on eacfa half of the little plum she saw a ronnd white spot.   That was  the  pit, though as yet it was»very soft.
Hattie more than ever, now hoped for " lots of plums," for she saw that although the wfaite blossoms had all gone, and many of the green stems had fallen to the ground with them, broken off by the wind, there were still many more of these stems left on the tree.
In a few days she saw the little greeu plums growing ont from the ends of the stoms, and promising an abundance of frait.
Bnt there were some things in the way tfaat Hattie faad pot tfaought of. A great number of tfaese green pluma dropped off before they were half grown. The hot weather came, and soon many of^ the branches and twigs of the plum tree were covered with a gray, gaze-like substance, that looked as muoh like oobwebs as any¬ thing else.
It was not long before the gauzy cob¬ webs were filled with small, black, dis¬ agreeable-looking caterpillars, lhat wrig¬ gled and squirmed about as ifthey wauted to get out, but did not know how. All the leaves aud plums that were inside of tbese caterpillar nests were soou destroy¬ ed ; and I don't know but the whole tree would have been ruiued if Mr. Jones had uot burned out these crawling robbera, by putting a lighted paper under them and firing their nests.
Not long after tfab, there came a severe storm that blew dowu a great many treea, and laid the corn in the fields flat on the ground. Hattie's plum-tree suffered very much. When the storm was over, more than half the fruit lay ou the ground.
But the sun shone out again, and the little girl was uow sure that all the plums that were left would ripen, for they grew larger cvery day, and soon began to ohange color.
Oue moruing, however, on going out to look at her tree, whioh she ofteu did be¬ fore she went to school, she fouud three or four good sized plums lying on the ground, and half rotten.
In a few days she noticed others ou the tree that had at first a small blaok speck on them, from which there came out somethiug that looked like gum, and stuck fast to the plums. In a little while theso plums changed their color. They became brown and shrivelled and rotten, and dropped off as the othera bad done. Hattie now began to fear that stie would not get any plums at all, aud she did not get many. When the few that had escaped the oaterpillera and the storm and the rot were ripened and gath¬ ered, they seal cely filled a quart me.aaure. The little girl was very muoh disap¬ pointed at this. She at first expected to have a plum for cvery blossom. When she found tfaat this could not be, she still hoped to have a great deal of fruit. But when atorms, aud caterpillers, and black specs, and brown rot, all aeemed to com¬ bine agaiust her to destroy her fruit, she was dbappointed indeed.
Oh! what a contrast between her hopes in May and her fruit in September. She expected "lots of plums"—she only got a quart. She could have cried ahout it, if that would have done auy good. But tears never yet made plums; so she wisely concluded not to ory, but to make the most of what she had.
Hattie's father thought he could turn this to good aocount. So he said to her one day: " Hattie, do. you know why you are like a plum tree ?"
" Like a plum tree!" said Hattie, laughing. " I'm'sure I'm not like a plum tree ; I don't look like one, do I ?"
" You certainly do not look like a plum tree, my child. But still you are very much like tfais one.
Before I relate any further what her father said, I must tell you something about Hattie.
She was generally a good little girl, but like many other cbildren, she was somewhat tboughtless. She made prom¬ ises, and forgot to keep them. She plan¬ ned a great deal of work, and did but very little. Her gardens was well work¬ ed for a few weeks io the spring, and was then neglected for the reat of the seasou. She was always glad to begin a new study, aud was soon just as glad to giye it up. She was fond of change, aud rarely continued long enough at oue employ¬ ment to accomplbh mucfa.
Her fatfaer, -wishing to cure her of thb bad habit, took oocasion to refer to the dbappoiutment she felt about thc plum tree. Hence he aslced her why she was like it.
Perhaps some of my young readers can already see why. Though Hattie could not understand it at first, she was not long in gettiug at her father's meaning, when he asked her a few simple, straigfat- forward questions, wfaile they stood uuder tfac tree, Ms arm meanwfaile thrown aronnd faer, as if to assure faer that what fae said waa kiudly meant, "¦ " Do you remember, Hattie," said fae "how muoh work you planned for last Saturday ? One would have thought, to hear you, that you expected to out-work a dozen girls. Anddo you remember faow, wfaen tfae day was gone, you faad done little or nothing? Plenty of blossoms, you see, bnt not many plums.
" And look at'your little garden. Last spring I dug it up for you, and helped you transplant flowere, and for a time yon kept-the weeds down. But you soon grew weary; and for a long wfaile it faas been all cboked with weeds. Here agun are blossoms and but little fruit.
"It b jnst so with youf studies. Your teacher tollsiiethat ybfltcan leam asearily; as aiy pri iii "ihe hfaool, if yon choose. But she also s»ya that yon soon   et tared
of trying. You study hard for awhile, and then give up- Here again are many blossoms and few plums.
"I fear.too, that you are not as oarefnl as you ooght to be about keeping yonr pro- mbes. You are more ready to prombe than to perform. This tree, last spring prombed mueh fruit, but see how litde haa come from it."
Hattie by thb time stotid leaning faer head ou faer father, and he felt a few warm tears falling on hb hand. What fae said had stirred her heart.
Was she angry? No, indeed! She was not one of that sort But she cried because she felt that her bad habits de¬ served the reproof thus given to her by her father.
Poor girl! sfae littie thougfat wfaile watchiug her plum-tree, aud sorrowing because it had so littie fruit, that her dear parents were watching her, end sor- sowing because she had fallen into evil ways. But when her father thus kindly and plainly told her, she saw it all, and resolved from tbat moment to change her course.
And thb time the blossoms changed into frait for she not only resolved, but kept her reaolution and became a better girl. When she planned work, she kept ti, until it was done. Her gardeu was weeded ont although the season was late and kept clear until frost came. Her studies were attended to, until she reaohed the head of he class; and she became specially careful of her prombe.
When she showed any signs of care¬ lessness in these things, (and it was not very often) one simple saying of her fa¬ ther .always set her right again : " He- member, Hattie, it is not e-n-ery blos-
