TOGETHER.
A song for the season, ray dear, my dear,
A song for the sunshiny weather!
And vs hat does it matter the time o’ the year,
When you and l are together?
A song for the summer, flying south,
A flattering song to stay her!
And if 1 were the bird w ith the golden month,
I would not care to delay her.
All the year round my skies are blue,
Iuto your blue eyes gazing;
Shining, smiling, tender and true—
Oh, these are the ones for praising!
The best of mine that the year could claim
Were a homage but half-hearted;
For I know the brigh.ne»s will be the same
When her bloom is all departed.
When out of the world the sunshine slips,
In hoard the hearth-stone shovveth;
The one light suflYieth no eclipse,
Whatever the way it goeth.
Ii‘s you that’s wearing the summer’s crown,
To you all sweet names gather;
It’s you I love when the snows are down—
Oh, let me sing you rather!
For though I whisper it unaware,
Your name is a spell that raises
All singing sprites that dwell in the air,
Making a sheaf of praises.
A song to the youth our years above,
Holding all words in tether;
• it suits all seasons, my love, my love,
While you and I are together!

FARMER GRIMES'S SECOND WIFE.
BI CLARA VANCE.
“Poor Mrs. Grimes! she cau't live not
the day.”
The words wore sadly spoken by more
than one neighbor, easting mournful
glances toward that upper window where
the blinds were shut.
“Poor Mrs. Grimes! just as she had got
so comfortably settled in her new house,
too.”
Yes it was poor Mrs. Grimes everywhere :
a withered woman, old at forty. She was
dying in the pretty room where she had
hoped to enjoy* so much. Iler husband
sat near her, silently battling with his
grief, for he had loved that patient wife
for twenty years.
The sharp, pinched ft attires, now gray
with the shadow of death, had been beau
timi mice—the dull eyes bad sparkled with
the lire of joy and health. ( hildren had
been carried in those wasted arms, and
Jrotn thence taken all b 'O soon to the grave.
Two sons tood in the chamber with sol
emn faces, unwilling to let “mother” go.
< ild and faded, wrinkled and suffering
though she was, they held her heart by
the strong cords of love.
Twenty years before, Mrs. Grimes was
installed by a happy husband, mistress of
Ids house. It was not his own farm whose
broad acres ho cultivated, consequently
he determined to work hard, to be dili
gent, frugal and saving, so that in time
to come he might have some place to call
hi- ou 11.
In tin- pleasant scheme tlie young wile
entered with all Iut heart: she was healthy
ami strong, knew how to work and was
not afraid of her labor. So slid put forth
all her strength, and her thrift and toil
told. Every year the fanner laid by mon
ey towards bis purchase. People wonder
ed why the (Irhnses would go to meeting
in that rickety old wagon, and why Mrs.
< b inn s wore the same faded muslin that
she had worn at least ten years. Hut she
knew why, and though her form began to
bend, though her bands had grown coarse,
and misshapen, and she suffered pains ami
ills she never felt before, it did not once
occur to her that these were the effects ol
hard and wearing labor.
Time to read! W hy, the good woman
would almost have laughed in the face of
one who asked the question. Look at her
work and the>*iinagine, if you could, that
she had any time. She had not even leis
ure to eat her meals properly; what with
cooking huge messes of pork and heel,
cabbage and potatoes, filling tub a Hot tub
with apple sauce, making all the cheese
and bread and butter for tin' household,
mid the hired men. how could she eat her
meals a- see should?
strange to say, she never regretted all
lid.- outlay of strength, all this waste of
human life. Ever before her was the
prospect of that pleasant farm, cleared,
planted and paid for. She wanted no help
except when her children were horn, and
wen then she gave the w earied frame no
tinn for repost , hut stitched auil mended,
propped up by pillows, before nerve or
muscle were able to perform their proper
functions. Thus it was that she grew old
and shiunkeu before her time, grew into a
machine of flesh and blood that never
slackened in the huge toil it had taken
upon itself to bear. The husband be
came accustomed to the pale lace and so
often had he listened to her oft-repeated
declaration that she would not have help,
that at last he gave up all thought of it.
She never took rides in the sweet country
roads, she had no time to tend and love
flowers, she never visited, she had always
imethiug to do."
One nay the tanner came in early in the
afternoon, it was an unusual hour''for him
ami his wile said so, looking up from a
huge pile of mending.
“Well," and lie Hushed and smiled, as
lie -eated himself in one of the uncomfort
able kitchen chairs, “lve bought .ferry’s
p! "c at last, and paid for it every cent.”
I lie faded eye kindled, the lips parted
with a smile, but suddenly the woman
bowed her head and hurst into tears.
“Why, Sally,—why, wife—I thought
you'd lie mighty pleased I” cried the far
mer. startled at this exhibition of feeling.
"1 am, dear,” and Sally struggled tc
overcome her griel, “but such a lone
some, dreari-emo feeling came ovei
me then, 1 only thought of the dead babies
in tlieir graves.
“You’re tired and sick, Sally; fact is
; you are killing yourself with work, and I've
| been a fool not to see it.” -
“I ain't killing myself, John, and I'd
i rather go on just fhe same. The boys are
i grown, and there are no little ones to take
Ware of. Besides, I'm used to tny own
! ways, and shouldn't like any one to break
| into ’em. Jerry's place is so convenient,
I too—i know it well; it won’t lie hard to
I work there.”
Mill work, work; it had grown to be a
1 habit, and there was no charm that could
j win her from it.
They were settled in the house—their
own house, and much of the old furniture
was replaced by new : yet so fearful was
the good wife that things would not be
kept up just to the point where she found
them, that it was scrub and delve, delve
and scrub from morning till night—-just
the old way only a little worse. At last
nature would hold out no longer. Alter
enjoying the new farm for six months,
Sally complained one evening that she felt
strangely, fell down in a fainting fit, and
was taken to her bed, never to leave it
again.
I’oor John Grimes! he bore a hopeless,
melancholy face at the funeral, and his
new, smart house felt like a new, smart
tomb, where the bricks,The paint and the
varnish are all fresh.
it took him two years to get accustomed
to his loneliness, and he might have lived
on, single, forever, if some presumptuous
friends had not undertaken to find him a
wife, and then*almo6t do his wooing for
him.
Dolly Duncan was the party tixeil upon
to fill 'the place of the late Mrs. Grimes.
She was an active, enterprising woman
vhom.no one thought, o sending old
maid, though she had turned the corner of
thirty. She was a merry, almost jolly
person, who knew how to take care of
herself, and had always declared that she
never wanted a hnsbaud on her hands.
Sim had a little horn stead, full of sun
shine, and “she wouldn't thank the best
mail that ever trod in two shoes to ask her
to change her condition.” But somehow
Dolly did come to have the prefix of
“Mrs.'’ before her name. She went into
the house of farmer Grimes, and gloom
took itself off at the sound of her merry
laugh—at sight of her sunny face.
She must .have help, she said the first
thing; smart, capable help. John rather
opened his eyes at this, for it seemed a
new doctrine transfused into the old life,
but he was able to bear it, and forthwith a
strong girl was installed in the kitchen.
Still John Grimes, having acquired the
habit, stooped as lie walked, and looked
as if strange perplexities had got hold
of him. It quite startled .,1, one tine
I spring morning, when his wife asked him
to spade up a hit of land in a favorite spot,
where she could plant (lowers, and strang
er still, commissioned him to go to the city
and procure some choice seeds and slips.
Why, Sally would never have thought of
asking him—she would have done both,
or gone without them ; this he did not say,
but he kept tip a hard thinking, and Dolly,
with a woman's quickness, read his
thoughts.
In its due season, harvesting came on.
Dolly saw what was < xpeet al.of her, and
concluded she wouldn’t do it. In her half
serious, sportive way. she protested that
she could not do the work for the funu
laborers who were expected.
“Hhv. Sully —stammered lie.
“1 know,” was the rapid rejoinder,
“poor Mrs. Grimes always did these
things, but you know, and everybody
knows, that Hie died of hard work. I
| don't want to die. 1 want to run iny three
score and ten, and 1 mean k«, Providence
permitting."
i “I don't know but you are right, Dol
ley,” said the farmer, nervously lingering
his hair—“but what shall ldo? There
ain't no more help to be had.”
Dully pointed from the dour. “See here,
! John," she said quietly, “there’s a little
1 house on your farm doing nobody good,
j and being ruined by dry rot. fit it up
and let Harry Lee take it. Give him
ground for a good garden, a privilege iit
j the wood-lot, and a small sum yearly. Ho
! will bring his wife here, she will help me;
j then lei tin' men eat at their table, vott
paving the difference of expense, and you
i nil! save money and health, besides hav
i ing a good, reliable man always within
call.”
Ji lin Grimes looked at the cute little
wife uneasily. It is just possible that he
dnw a comparison, mentally, between
the ever saving Sally and this more ex
pensive help-meet. After that they had
talks tog. liter, and lie felt and saw that
Dolly had a mind of her own and she had
made it up. With her merry brown eyes
upon his face, what could ho do but sub
mil ? So the plan was putin execution.
The next move of the •droit little wo
man, was to induce her _oand to pro
cure a neat carriage, and after that, as
she eould’nt drive very well, John must
go out ev ery da wind drive tier. John did
not like this at tTr.-t. It broke in upon his
habit of taking a ‘Snot re” as he called it,
ai'li r tea, but the break-up put a now life
into him. It \v..s a great point gained to
get hint into a il> an su'it ot clothes for sup
per, and John Grimes sitting at the table
with freshly combed hair, and clean col
lar was a far handsomer man than the
John of old, and Dolly took pains to tell
him she thought so.
