her for her aweelnesa and simplicity. She
had lovers, too, men of refinement and culture,
w bo looked down into her young 4iewt, and
tay the treasures that lay at bottom. Hut
a yet Annie loved 'no one than 'her parents;
ahe sung her songs from out a gushing soul,
nd rejoiced the hearts, and mcde beautiful
the lives of all IwckUie near her.
One summer day, as Annie aat sewing and
chatting with her mother, they saw from the
windo a atrnrge guest approaching the cot
tage. It was Earnest May, an o'A friend who
had been absent for ten years from bis native
country. He hud relumed with a mind richly
aimed with experience and knowledge gained
from abroad. Ten years before he bad taken
Annie Lee m his arm and petted her as a
pretty and rfted child as she really was. He
t.as then a young man of twenty, Annie a
Child ol aeveil yeara. " .
Annie looked about the face of tbeir guest,
and wondered bow she could have forgotten
In, old friend. Earnest looked into the beau
tiful noetic eyes of the lovely girl, and tboughtr
he bad uever seen, even under the Italy's fa i
kits, a more attractive face. The visit was
brief, and soon come to eu end. Earnest May
went to bis life of study and thought. Annie,
-tin a cottaee cirl. went more often into th
deepkwild woods, to weave into graceful
-lines ide fancies that crowded her brain. A
new aspiration had come to the young girl with
tbe pretence tf tbe stranger. A cord hitherto
untouched now thrilled in its strange melody,
and Annie's song was more complete and bar-
mnniiiua..
Earntst May was not a declared lover, He
was ever calm and dignified in bia affection
for Annie. He may have loveu the ueauiuui

One summer day Annie was surprised by
the arrival of Earnest, She had uot been
warned of bis approach, and she sprang over
the door sill with a light almost wild step, to
welcome lum. '
"You did not tell me you was coming Ear

Earnest diew from his bosom a tablet, upon
