FRIENDSIIIP AND SORROW.

Tosjether 'ncath the carly morn
Wetook ourjoyous way,
Where clustering blossoms hide the thorn,
And all around was gay,
And now, wbeu miduigbt's wildcststorins
The troubled sleeper wake,
And Fear calls (orth its phantom forms,
Sliall I thy side forsalie?
Togcthor through the vcmal grove
In musiug thought we trod,
With Nature's kindling charras in lovc,
Which told oursouls of God
And now. wheu chilling autumn blows,
And fields their flowers rcgret,
Amid the fading of the rosc
Shall I my friend forgct?
Togetherin ourblooming age,
To Music's rcalm we turncd,
And beuding o'erthe lcssoned page,
The sauic swcet descant Icarned
And now wheu Tirac, that tcacher stern,
Hath taught the wail and tnoan,
Shall I to bowers of pleasure turn,
And leave thee sad and lone ?
Ah no ! beneath Misfortunc's dart,
Thy cheek bedewed with tears,
Thou'rt dearer to my y eaniing heart
Than in thy cloudlessycars.
The friendship born of prosperous hours
May have a sparkliog cye;
But that which smilcswhensorrowlowers,
Claims kindred with the sky.

" I will call for you atcieht o'clock, pre-

doorofahouse in Spruce strect, with the
handofa centle cirlin his. Hehadtakenit
as he said "good bye," and held it longcr than

" Very well; I shall bo all rcady," returned
the inaiden.
" The cars start at a quarter past eight,
prccisely. We must not leaye here a min

"Not if we cxpcct to joiu tho priyate par

"Good night, Anna."
"Goodnight."
As the inaiden rcsponded to her lover's
good night, her hand, that lay in his, was
gonlly prcssed. That pressure sent a thrill
of joy to her heart. Ilenry Alton had not

Alton said nothing. He was worricd, and
didn't careahout Ictting his toue of voice rc

Ina little while they were gliding rapidly
away from the crowdcd city. Thc pufTing
locomotive was soon substituted for horses.
Halfan hour more, and ihe gay party, con
sisting ol about forty young ladics and geii

youug mau'seye restcd upon her through the
day, it was in admiration, aud every time her
toues reached his ear, they caine with swect

"She is indeed alovely creaturc!" he
more than once said to himself. Tlieiin
pression made by thc unpleasaut occurrence
ofthe morniug had nearly worn olT.so.charm
ed was she with all that Anna said and did
through the day.
Time wore on, and thc sun ranged low in
the borizon. The cars were to pass at about
half nast six o'clock, when Ihe party must be
atthe stopping place, or have thc pleasure of
walking homc, a distance of nearly ten milcs.
About half past five uoticc was civen, by
somc of tbc more thougbtfnl ones, thatit
was time to be making prcparations for
leaving the grouud.
" Oh, it's plenty oftime yet." said some.
"it s only a little step over to the Itail
road." " But it will take at least halfan hour to
make all ofour arrangeraents for gelting
away," was replicd. "Better be an hour
too soon than a minute too late for the
cars.
"So sayl,"cbimed in Alton and some oth
ers, who iook upou tnemselves the task of
getting every thinj, as fast as he could, iu
readincss to leavc thc ground.
" There's plenty of time," said Anna Mil
nor, gaily, lo Alton. "Come, you must be
my partner this cotillion."
. "I shouldu't like to walk ten milcs to-night."
was his reply.
"Norl. But there's time enoueh. We
can walk to the railroad in ten minutes."
Alton could not refuseAnna s rcquest, and
so hejoined, tboughrelictamly, tbc cotillion.
MIDDLEBURY,
Time sped quickly on. Whcn thc Music
ceased.it was six o'clock.
All was now hurry and bustlc amoug the
greaterportion of thecompany. But Anna
still insisted there was nlcntv of time, and ac-
j tually induced a small number to commcnce
another cotillion. Severel remonstrated.and
urgedthe nccessity ofimmediate departure.
tiutineywcre onlylaughed at for thcirim
patience. Alton bit his lip with vexationat
such thoughtlessnesE:. Ile saw that Anna
wastheruling spiritinthis oppositionto the
majority to be at the stopping place of the
cars in good time; and this worricd hira.
It brought too viyedly before his mind the in
cidcnts of the morning.
At last, cven she felt that the time had
come for making aspeedy departure. The
little group that had beeu sccmingly goveroed
by her, scparated, and comnicnccd hasty
prcparations for leaying ihe spot. This
took longcr than they cxnectcd. Last of
all to get nway was Anna IWilnor. By the
time sne ieit, somc naa reaclied thc track ol
the railroad.
"There ! as I live," she cxclaimcd, aftcr
she had started with Alton," and had gone a
couple ofhundred of yards, "I have lost my
bracelet."
As she said this, she turncd and run back
at full spced. Alton callcd aftcr her that
they would certainly be left behind thc cars.
But she did not Iiecd him. His only altcrna-
tive was to turn back also and help to search
, er.
"Wc shall certainly
said.
be left behind," he
" Come, run then, quick," Anna returned,
and sprung away like a young fawn. There
was not a 6iuglc incniber of tho party in
sight. All had hasteucd 011 to the stopping
placc of the cars, the most inJilTercnt now
' fceline alarm lest they should be too late.
! "Justsavcd your distance," said thc con-
ductor, smiling.
"Myshawl! where isitj" cxclaimcd one
ofthe ladics ofthc party, looking around licr
iu alarm, soon aftcr the cars were undor mo
tion. 'I don't know. Have you Iostit!" asked
a companion.
"It was on my arm whcnwe started. But
I was so afraid oD)cing left behind, that I
didn't noticc wBHbornhenl droppcd it."
Quietly seatcd in thc cars, all had leasure
now to think whether they had left or lost
any thiug behind. It was soondiscovcrcd that
onc was short of a handkeicbicf, another a
bag, a third a collar, a fourth a bracelet, and
so on. But for these losscs. thcre was no
rcmcdy. Every moment the swift spccding
enginc was bcaring them farther and farthcr
away from the spot where they hadspentthc
dayso pleasanlly.
"Well," rcmarkcd Alton, in a halflaugh
ing half scrious voicc, "I hopc this will be a
lcsson on punctuahty Ior all ot us. 11 wc Had
quietly made our arrangcracnts for leaving
tho ground an hcur ago, there would have
becn noncof these losscs tp rcgret. We
should have becn at tho railroad track at
lcast halfan hour before tbc cars camc along,
so that thcre wonld have bcen time cnough to
have returned for any thing then missed."
"You nccdu't say any thiug," spoke up
onc. "You wcrc thc last to reach the cars
both coming and going. A lecturer on
punctuality should always bc punctual him
self." This was said jcstinsly.
But it touchcd
Alton in a tcnderspot.
"No no it's uot fair to hlame him,"
Anna spoke up. "It wa3 all my fault."
"I wish it hadn't becn," was Alton's mcn
tal rcply.
Wbenhe rctired to bed that night, the
young man did not feel happy. His mind
was disturbed. Why? He kncw ofouly
onc cause. Anna Miluor's conduct had not
plcascd him. There was a defect in hcr
charactcr, with which, let it cxist where it
would, he had ro patience. It was so easy
to bc punctual, and so wroug not to bc par-
ticularon this hand. that he could find no
pressions that her conduct had produccd,
There was a charm in her person, mind and
manners, that thoroughly captivated him.
Hc nas again a constaut visitor.
As for Anna shc only wanted a declaration
from hcr lover. Her heart was fully his.
Buthe was not quite rcady to make that dec
laration. Alton had a cool heall as wellasa
warm heart, he was orderly in his habits.and
regnlatcd his condnct in life upon fixed prin
ciples. In choosing a wife, he would not
pcrmit himself to be govcrned, eritirely by
his fcelings. He saw that Anna had defects
of character and one dcfect that, inhisesti
mation, would have a vcry important bearing
upon his futurc happiness. BCorc advanc
ing a step farther, he dctermiinVto see how
deeply seated this defect lay, and whether
there was auy hopc of its being corrcctcd or
not.
"I will call for you on next Sunday morn
ing," said he one day, "and walk with you to
church."
"I shall bo very happy to have your eom
pany," was her pleascd rcply.
'I will now sce," said he to himself, "how
deeply seated lies this wantof punctuality.
Surely she will regard the orderly observance
ofexternal worship too bighlyto pcrmit
herself to be a moment too latc. Anna Mil
nor conld notbo guilty of distulbing awor
shiping assembly by entering church alter
the services had begun."
Half past teu was the hour for the servi
ces to commcnce.
"Do.Anna," said Mrs. Milnor, asthc fam
ily arose from the breakfast-table on the next
Sabbath morning, "try and get ready in
time to go with your father and myself to
church, Iam really tired at. your waut of
punctuality in this matter." I

"Dress now' Wby. it's only eight o'

Saying this, Anna took up her little broth

"I'll be readv now, bcfore you will," the
daughter said, as she boundcd up stairs. A
new drcss camc homc on thc cvening before.
It was not to be worn that day. But as she
had notyet tried it on, she felt a desire todo
so, and ascertaiu its fit. There was plenty of
time to dress for church. So shc tricd on
the dress. Thcre was somc dcfect about it.
Ccrtain folds soincwherc, did not lie just to

arouscd by the voice of her mother.
"Anna, come, itisjust tcn, and wcarc

Five, ten, fifteeu miuutes passed, but the

young man to himself. "It sceins bardly

Just then Auna camc hurrying down stairs,

sne giiacu up stairs, anu did not come
dowu again for two or threc minutcs. They
secmeu as long as a pcriou 01 tcn minutcs to
thc mind of Alton.
Whcn the young couple eutered the
church, tbe minister was rcadiog a portiou of
thc scmcc. All was silencc prolound and
dcep attcntion. Their coming in cvidently
disturbed the congrcgation. This was fclt
acutcly by Alton, who nevcr cnjoyed public
worship so little in his life.
After all was over, he returned with Anna
to her homc. But he said little on thc way.
He could not. His mind was too mnch dis
turbed. His abstraction of mauncr was so
marked that cven Auna could not hclpnotic
ing it. She never rcmcmbcrcd to havcsccii
him so dull. At thc door of her fatber's
house he bowcd formally, and rctired.
How could you do so, Anna 1" her
mother said. as soon as she entered the
house.
'Do what mother 1"
"Come so late to church aftcr all I said
to you this morning. And worse than all,
to kccp Mr Alton waiting for you till af

that he was greatly annoyed."

was not happy during thc rcst ofthe day.
"Jt's no use disguising tlie lact," Alton
said to himself, ashc walked homeward
"She will not suit me. 1 should he wor

you are aswect, fascinating WbHfiirc. I
love you more than I dareconfess myself.
But I cau not make you my wife. That
would be riskiug too much,"
Thus rcason urged. But feeling was
not so casily subdued. It pleadcd long
for thc charming girl but it pleadcd in
vain. Alton was a younr-man ol decided
character. He never permitted himself I
to take a step that his iudgement clearly I
condemncd I
"I havn't seen you with Anna Milnor,
lately, said a friend to him a few months
afierward.
"No."
"How is that?"
"Why do you ask the question ?"
"You uscd to be very particular in your
attcntion in that quarter."
"Pcrhaps I was. But I am not now."
"She is a lovely girl."
"That she is, truly."
"Just tbc onc for you."
"No." "
"I think she is."
"While I, the party most interested,
think otherwise."

"She comes late to church "
"What ?"
"She is not punctual."
"You arejesting."
"No. Dont you remember the pfc

both in going and returning."
"All her fault. I don't want a wife
who has not a regard for punctuality. It
would annoy me to death."
"But, surely, that is not your only ob-
jection."
"I have no other."
"You are foolish.0' "
"Pcrhaps so. But I can't heJp it My
wife must be punctual and no mistake. "
Alton shotved himself to bc in carnest.
Much as it cost him, he .steadily rcsisted
the inclinalion that was constantly urging
him to rcnew his attcntions to Anna Mil

passed, and many bcgan to feel impatient.
