Would thou wert growing 'mid the whispering
[grse] I
By some sweet shadowed stream,
Whose tranquil tide the slow cloud dimly glasses,
Faint, dying like my dream.
Would that the dew upon thy leaves were lying,
And not this rain of tears ;
The breeze above thee-not my bitter sighing
For the lost hope of years.
Would that the lips whose passionate caressing
Gave to the lips a sweetness not thine own,
Had faintly murmured *"Farewell" and a blessing,
Ere they had silent grown.
O perished blossoms ! lost, lost friend and lover! !
O light of day, shaded in swift eclipse !
Soon may thy sister blooms with beauty cover
My silent heart and lips.
"OD R STORY TELLER."
MRS. ROCHESTER'S MAID.
[IY DAISY VENTOR.]
"OH! 'oU witted, witted boy! 'ou hurt
my dolly ;" and down went Allie
Keih'.' little fibst on Fred's chucby arm
with all the force she could muster for
ii'e eorergeney.
i ,.." wittad, aand dolly's dot fever,
.. u', -" rtr ,rted T.r, !1. with

the blood run,") "and o. '.- ;.- ._
Allie gave a passionate scream, aau
launched herself straightway at Master
Fred. A'as! poor dolly! the little mis
chief-maker had provided himself with a
two pronged fork in some secret journey
kitchenward, and with the last triumph
ant exclamation he plunged it vigorous
ly into dolly's arm. The blood did run
with vengeance, or, rather, the saw-dust
dlid; and even hard-hearted Fred beheld
with dismay the sudden collapse of the
much abused arm as the pile of sawdust
grew larger.
"'Ou kill my dolly! 'ou Sall be hunged !"
screamed Allie, fighting tooth and nail.
"I don't love 'on one bit, 'on bad, cwuel
boy." Fred was really frightened at the
catastrophe, but by no means loth to
continue the battle ; and between them
they made twilight hideous with their
yells, as they kicked and bit each other
like little furies. Allie fought so determ
inedly that Fred finally began to retreat
backward, and as she made a desperate
clute-h at his curly pate he tumbled up
against the stove, and in trying to save
himself caugt hold of it with his hand.
There was a prolonged and horrible
slrisk from both twins as nurse and pa
pa appeared in the door together.
"Good 'tavens!" cried nurse, diving,
at Allie.
"Children, what upon earth have you
been doing ?" demanded Percy Keith, as
he picked up poor Fred and laid him roar.
ing on the sofa.
"He kill my dolly !" sobbed Allie.
"Allie s'ove me into 'e stove I" yelled
Fred.
"Hush ! both of you," said their papa,
severely. "Nurse, light the gas. I should
think that by this time you would have
learned that you can never leave these
monkeys without some terrible piece of
mischief coming oft Allie, stop that roar
ing; Fred, let papa look at your hand."
The child tried manfully to hush his
sobs, but Mr. Keith's gentle touch was
torture to the badly burned little hand.
"Oh! 'ou hurt dwedful " cried Fred.
tenderly, '" this is rather worse than the
generality of .your scrapes. Lie still,
Fiel, and try not to cry while papa goes
fer something to bandage it; and with a
somewhat concerned face Percy walked
off.
"What's the matter here?" asked a
bright cheerful voice, as nurse adminis
tered a vigorous shake to the penitent
and terrified Allie-"a worse misfortune
than usual, Fred?" and the speaker, a
very pretty woman of three-and-twenty
bent down to kiss the little tear-stained
face.
"You hoere, Fanny ?" and Percy gave
his sister a kindly nod as he returned
with the requisite remedies. "My mon
keys grow more naughty every daTy, you
Ssee; and, unfortunately, I won't do for a
keelper. Fred has succeeded in burning
his hand, which I hope will keep him out
of mischief for a few days; and I
believe I upset an inkstand over my last
manuscript in my flight up stairs to see
what the row was bout. How are Frank
and the children ?"'
"Quite velmid Mr. Boebedat, bink
ly spnlagd b ar glo...agd 11flmshr
upon her lap. "Where's dolly? Auntie
and Allie can play at housekeeping now,
just as little cousin Molly does."
"Fred witted boy," said Allie, prompt- 1
ly. "Dolly's arm all so," and she point
a tragic finger to the unhappy victim of
the late conflict lying peacefully hors du
combat beside the little heap of saw-dust.
"Dolly sick; must make e' bleed wan,"
quoth Fred, doggedly, from the sofa.
Mrs. Rochester flushed an amused glance
at her brother.
"Never mind," said she, consolingly, 1
"Allie shall go out in auntie's carriage to
morrow and get a new dolly with long
curls and blue eyes, if she will be good
and not cry or tease Fred. Percy you
had better let me put that child in bed."
"If you please, mum, rm quite capable,
of a doing," said nurse, sulkily, as Mrs.
Rochester prceeded to undress the boy ;
"and I knows the children's ways, Mr.
Keith."
"Bring me his things, poor little man,"
said Mrs. Rocesfer, ignoring the woman's
remark. But nurse was an old servant,
and stood her ground.
"You ain't my missus," said she, coarse
ly. "Mr. Keith knows I've took care of
them twins ever since they was born
three years come Christmas-and I can
take care of 'em yet. We servants don't
want no fine stuck-up ladies coming-"
"Hu y-11 finished?" interrupted her
m,.:,et;, st"r t'y: "iav' the room. If you

well," as she muttered someti . . :..:
more saucy, and flung down the band
ages, "you may come to me for your
wages in half an hour; you leave the
house to-morrow."
Bang went the door, and then Percy
turned to his sister in comical dismay.
"She was worse than the old man of
the sea," said he, his eyes twinkling mer
rily; "but heaven knows how I am ever
going to do without her. Bedlam will
reign in undisturbed glory, and Allis and
Fred become worse every day."
"Where's that nice-looking house
maid?" asked his sister, laughing; "she
might do until you found some one else.
Call her up now, Percy, and after I get
your twin monkeys safely in bed, we can
go down and talk over your troublesome
domestic arrangements in the library."
In a few moments the girl, Maggie,
made her appearance, and after much
coaxing and bribing on the part of papa
and aunt Fanny, the twins were esconc
ed in their cribs, tucked in snugly, and
promised a visit from papa after dinner:
and then the brother and sister went
down stairs.
"No light," said Percy, impatiently, as
he stumbled over a library chair; "So
ames doesn't half do his work, of course.
You never saw such an organized house
hold as mine, Fanny. Here are the
matches, after all-it's a wonder."
"You do need somebody to look after
you," said she, merrily, as he ruefully
displayed his ink-stained manuscript.
Then, quite soberly, "Percy, I wish you
would be persuaded to marry again.
Have you thought of what Frank and I
said to you last week?"
He flung himself down in a chair and
almost scowled at her. .
"Don't, Fanny! To me there isnothing
more revolting than these cut-and-dried
matches-family affairs"
"Nonsense," she said, cheerfully.
"But it isn't nonsense. You all know
how my first marriage came about. Poor
Laura's only charm was her angelic face
-and what a weary time I had for eigh
teen months. I paid dearly enough for
my boyish marriage, Fanny."
"I know it," she answered, softly; "but
for that very reason you might be happy
new with a woman thoroughly suited to
you; and Grace Elliot have many more
traits to recommend her than her fortune.
"I don't care for that," hanghtly. "I
have alredy a sufficiency of property,
together with my growing reputation as
an author, to be above marrying for mere
money. I by no means deny that I have
thought of some time marrying agin;
but I have an ideal of my own to fill that
utterly prqvents my falling into matri
mony after the pattern-style that you and
Frank would persuade me into.' No,
Fanny, I must rub along in the same
discomfort for awhile-no hurry, except
in the matterof a nurse for thore children
-two such monkeys no man was ever
plagued with before Perfect firebrands!
That win just dimisoed had no
idaddincipe;ald, after an it does
m.mr aburd to metiom a ~~
*ard word ia connection with my three
rear-clds. What would you advice? A
aursery-governess? Come, Fanny, you
usually have a pet protege in petto; and
*ere's a magnificent opening for one of
your model orphling." "I wish I hac an,
orphan for you," she said, after a mo
neat's refection; "but the matron told
me yesterday, when I stopped at the
asylum, that she had found a place for
he last grown-up girl she had. Let me
think," musingly. "You must have some
body at once-to-morrow, in fact. I have
Lt, Percy. I must give up my maid, for
awhile."
"Your maid?"
"Yesl The vary thing, though she is
my maid. She's a new one I've got; a
real paragon in her way, able to do
anything, and very obliging, which is
rare Now I am willing to lend her to
you for a few weeks; and in that time, I
hope, we'll be able to find somebody that
will suit permanently. I only hope she'll
consent to come."
"And, in that meantime, what will be
come of Mrs. Rochester's brilliant toilets?
And what will Mrs. Rochester's husband
say to such an unparalleled generosity
on her part?"
"Mrs. Rochester's toilets shall be bril
iant as ever; and Mrs. Rochester's hus
band has a weak fas'"ion of yeilding to
his wife's last whim," "-ho: r"toitc.- ,,vyly.
'"Really, Percy, I dor't L'row whit else t i
di, for vou. She is .:r," mt;'ý:. :'oe her

U ,'t :. ý `,!.' t h, morning. But now,
dear Percy," il.tmingly, "since I have
been so unselfish, as you call it, won't
you promise to think about Grace Elliot?
I had so set my heart upon it."'
He shook his head and made a grimace.
"Didn't I hear Frank say something
vague about your inviting the young lady
on here to make a visit, so that I can be
aught, I suppose? Don't! at your peril,
Fan-Irm beginning to hate her already.
A strong-minded woma, no doubt,who'd
drive me dumb with amazement, and the
monkeys frantic. Pray let Miss Elliot
remain in the city of Brotherly Love un
disturbed. To please you, though, I'll
look about among the ladies of our ac
quaintance. There's Bella Ingersoll
lon't look so disgusted, it's not becoming
-only I'm afraid she'd bring her horses
and dogs into the drawing-room, which
wvouldn't add to the domestic appearance
of things! There's your carriage at the
door, dear; adieu, and please accept my
thanks for all your kindness."
She scolded him all the way out of the
door, where, as there arose a fresh dis
turbance from the nursery, he was ob
liged to leave her; and then Mrs. Roches
ter stepped into her carriage and drove
home.
It was an evening early in December,
and the cozy boudoir in Mrs. Rochester's
handsome house looked .wonderfully
home-like as she entered it. A slight
graceful figure was curled up in her
lounging-chair, and Miss Elliot's silk
flounces rustled as she sprang up to greet
her friend and hostess.
"All alone, Grace," said Mrs. Roches
ter. "Where's Frank? I do believe I'm
late."
"I should think so," answered Grace,
"and you look so full of business. Pray,
where have you been these two hours?
At that wonderful brother's, no doubt."
"And a nice muss that wonderful bro
ther makes of his housekeeping. Those
twins are perfectly marvelous, as full of
life as young panther-kittens, with un
limited capacity for getting into scrapes.
Now, Grace, just listen I have a plan
for his assistance, and it needs your co
operation. He has had to turn the nurse
away. He must have somebody to-mor
row. Now,be a good girl, and go there
for awhile---"
Miss Elliot's gray eyes grew round
with amazement; and she stopped the
tide of impetuous words indignatly.
"Preposterous! Really, Fanny, you are
gone a little mad in your philanthropy.
I go and undertake the charge of those
children. And in what capacity, pray?
"As my maid, dear!" said Mr Roches
ter, coolly.
Grace Elliot tried her best to look rex
ied and dignified, but the utter impudence
of her friend was too much for her risi
bles, and she went off into a merry shout
of laughter.
"Heartles wretch!" maid Mrs Bebe
tr, her -s damsg for sympathy- "-
you knew the pig) that Pesy in. T
ehldrea re not badcbikdem. mal, and
yon could tame them, rm sure; and it
would be such a joke on Percy."
"How long did you wish me to play
this pretty farce," said Grace, relenting a
little. In truth, placed before her in the
light of a frolic, it began to be tempting.
Fortunately, Mrs Rochester had never
mentioned to Grace her plans for Percy's
total surrender to her charms. A mere
hint of such an idea would have been a
death blow to her present hopes. So now
she gave Grace a comical history of the'
scene wherein poor Fred came to griefd,
and dwelt upon the capital joke they
could have at his expeneg. Grace, her
self, dearly loved fun. The end was, that
after coaxing some time, Grace consented
to assume the role planed for her, and
enter upon the reformation of Mr. Keith's
household for a term of three weeks,
stipulating that she should disguise her
self as she pleased, and binding Fanny
over to solemn secrecy forever!
"My brother is in the library, is he
not?" said Mrs. Rochester the next morn
ing, as Soames opened the door in an
swer to her ring.
"No, ma'am; Mr. Keith went down
town an hour ago, leaving word that he
would be home as early as three. The
The children are in the nursery," as Mrs.
Rochester turned toward the library door;
"leastaways, Master Fred is," and Soames
stole a glance at the person who accom
panied Mrs. Rochester.

"Yes, ma'am," said BSoan., aftu: a pr,
longed stare, going down to the lowe
domains, where he gave his opinion that
"the young woman was a rum-looking
gal, but a dueced nice figur."
"Softly, Grace," said Mrs. Rochester,
as the approached the nursery-door, "just
listen to that monkey, Allie."
