PARTING.
The summer sky was overcast,
I knew toe sunshine would not last
We mused upon the golden pest
Together.
And then we thought of what night be,
Of all the life-long misery,
The sunless days we should not see
Together.
And ere I left my happy land,
"This is the last time we shall stand,"
I said, "my darling,hand in hind,
Together.
"And since we two may never wed,
Dear tore 1 howblessed to be dead,
And laid to rest.!'' ''Ah! yes," she said,
"Together!"
MEMENTO.
My son, bo this thy Biinple plan
Serve God,and love thy fellow man
Forget not, in temptation's hour,
Tbat sin lends sorrow double power
Count life a stageup thr way,
Andfollowconscience, comewhat may,
Alike with Heaven and earth sincere,
With hand, and brow, and boson clear
FearGod, and know no other feat!

VILLAGEO
N THE CUFF.
BY MISS THACKERA1.
CHAPTER IX.
The days passed with Miss George in
her new surroundings. Shu prospered
finely with the children. Nannie, who
would be like a lady, would wish Cath
arine good-morning and Madclaine,
who was four and "tree raisonable,"
Suzanne her nurse said, consented to be
kissed through the iron-work balusters
of the stairtase.
Tho children would lead the way
through the great dining-room, where
Baptiste was hopping about on one leg,
polishing the shining floor, across the
terrace, through green avenues and
gardens, looking neglected, but fresh
with dew, and luxuriant with flowers
and fruit-trees. Pumpkins, carnations,
and roses were growing between vine
olad walls. There were bees, and there
was an old stone well full of deep wa
ter, like Jocelyn's well—
Pont la chaine ronillee a poli la margelle,
Bt qu'tme vigne etreint de sa verte dentelle.
•From the terrace there was a distant
view of the sea—of the blue line of
the horizon flashing beyond the golden
corn-fields.
One morning Nannie said, "We are
to go to the Ferine, Miss George, to-there
day, with a commission from grand
mamma. Wo will go out at the door
in the Portagor, if you'd not mind, aad
come back the other way." It was all
the same to Catharine, who followed her
little conductors through the kitchsn
garden door out into the open country,
and along the path skirting the corn
fields which spreadtodie sea. Henri
went first, blowing his horn Nanine
loitered to pick the poppies and bleu
bleus, as she called the corn-flowers
Madeleine trotted by Catharine, hold
ing her hand. It was like the nursery
rhyme. Miss George thought of the
little bay blue, only the sheep were
wanting.
From outside the farm at Tracy still
looks more like a ruined fortress than a
farm where milk is sold in cans, and
little pats of batter prepared, and eggs
oountod out in dozens, and pigs fatten
ed for the market. All over Norman
dy yott come upon these fortified ab
bsyes, built for praying and fighting
once, and ruined now, and turned to
different uses. It is like Samson's rid
dle to see the carcass of the lions with
honey flowing lrom then). "Out of
the eater came forth meat, out of
strong came forth sweetness." There
is a great archway at the farm at Tracy,
with heavy wooden doors studded with
nails. There is rust in plenty, and
part of a moat still remaining. The
hay is stacked in what was a chapel
once the yellow trasses are hanging
through the crumbling flamboyant east
window. There is a tall watch-tower,
to which a pigeon-Cote has been affixed,
and low cloisters that are turned into
out-houses and kitchens. The white
walls tell a story of penance and fierce
battlings, which are over now, as far as
they are concerned. The great harvest
wagons pass through the archway with
out unloading so do the cows at milk
ing-timc. Cooks and nens are pocket
ing the fallen grains, tbe pigeons circle
overhead suddenly white against the
A? the children and Miss George
poshed open the heavy doors and came
into the wide sunny court, a figure de-ble
scended the stone steps leading from
the strong tower where the apples are
kopt. It was Beine in her white coiffe,
who advanced with deliberate footsteps,
carrying an earthenware pan under her
and who stood waiting in the mid
dle of the great deserted-looking place
until they should come up to her.
Catharine wondered whether all
Normandy peasant-girls were like this
one. It was a princess keeping thecows.
There she stood, straight, slender, vig
dressed in the Snndsy dress
of the women of those parts, with this
difference, that instead of two plastered
loops ot hair like a doll's, a tawny rip
plo flowed under her cap and bw over
her arched brows. As for her eyes
they were quick, dancing gray eyes,
that looked black when she was sagry
—-clouds and lightning somebody onoe
told her they were, but the lightning
became warm sunlight when she smiled
upon those she liked. She smiled now,
for Eeine was a child-lover, and even
little De Tiacys were welcome, as they
came toward her with their bunches of
af th* fi.lrt. and tha nvwAca
W"
strange Jady following.
"Who ore yon bringing me Beine
asked, "and what do yon wsnt, my
children Madeleine, shall I give you
some milk and some peaches V*
"Out of Josette's little menage,"
said Madeleine, while Henri cried out)
"Oh, there is old Paris!" and went and
clasped the big dog round the neck.
Nanine, meanwhile advancing very
politely and prettily, in a smart little
toilette, explained that Miss George was
a demoiselle Anglaise who was staying
witb theui, and that she had come to
request Mademoiselle Chretien to sup
ply them with butter for a few days.
"Our cows are ill," said Nannie, shrug
ging her shoulders, "and we are all bat
reduced to dry bread."
"There are others besides you who
eat their bread dry," said Beine, "but
your grandmamma can have as much
batter as she likes, Mademoiselle Na
nine, at the market price, since she has
money to pay for it." She did not say
this rudely, hut rather sadly, and then
she suddenly turned to Catharine, and
asked her if she would not Tike.'' some
milk too. "And so you are English
Beine said, in her odd sweet voloe,
pushing open a door with both her
hands. Seine's hsnds were, not like,
Madame Binaud's, two red paws which'
could be seen shining a mile' off, but
thin and white like a lady's. Catharine
glanced at them a: little curiously as
tboy lay outspread upon the oak, and
she saw that Beihe wore a signet-ring
on one finger) then she' looked' up in
her face again, and Beine Chretien
caught the glance and melted some
what toward the littlo thing' with /tho
startled look and curious soft eves that
seemed to bo taking everything in.
The love-making of friendship is not
unlike that of sentiment, and friends
are friends sometimes in an instant al
most, even though they may not have
set the feeling to the tune of words and
protestations.
I hardly kno« which of these two
women needed the other most, when
they met by chance in the silent, sun
ny court-yard that morning. In after
times, doubt, trouble, cruel suspicion,
pain and jealousy came to part them,
bat they were faithful to one another
through it all. There was something
to forgive and forget for each of them,mademoiselle
bat they loved one another well enough
to be able to remember and to need no
forgiveness. They suited. Somehow
was a certain affinity between
them which is priceless in friendship.
It is worth all the virtues, and merits,
and accomplishments put together to
people who care for one another,' or
who ought to care.
Catharine, who had never in her life
spoken to a Normandy peasant before,
listened and looked with all her eyes.
There was Beine, dressed like a doll,
in flaps, and apron, and ornaments bat
Catharine was touched and fascinated
by the grave, noble face, the pathetic
voice. Alas! she was not the first
Beine had charmed.
The girl gave the ohildren their milk
out of a great brass pan standing sur
rounded by Uttle barrels for making
butter. "Should you like to see the
farm?" she asked them. "This is
where we keep our cider and, open
ing a door into an old vaulted cellar,
she showed six huge butts, standing
side by side, and reaohiag to the ceil
ing. Each one of them was large
enough to drown the whole party. Na
nine exclaimed at their size. "They
are half of them empty already," said
Beine, laughing. "Dominique alone
oould drink one of those for his sapper.
I don't offer yoa any" she said to
Catharine, leading them away, and
locking the door behind, hen "I
know English people do not like cider,"
and she sighed as she spoke.
She went before them through many
courts, opening arched doors,into store
rooms heaped with tha oily colza grain:
She showed them a wheat-field inclos
ed by four walls, against which necta
rines and apricots were ripening. The
cows were all oat in the meadows, bat
there were a few sheep in tha stable
and at last she brought them into the
great farm-kitchen. It had been add
ed ontothe rest of tha buildings so
had Beine's own room, which was over
it, and reached by stone steps from
outside.
Petitpeie was sitting at tbe table,
eating bread aad soup. He looked hot
and tired, but he got uptomake a bow
and a little speech. He was a hospita
and courteous fellow, whatever his
other defeats may have been. "Ladies,
yoa are weloometothe farm," he said.
"Pray excuse my continuing breakfast
I have been out since five o'clock in
the fields with the soldiers."
"We have not men enoughtoget
the harvest," Beine explaiaed to Cath
arine, "and we send for soldiers to help
us."
"And have yoa been np siuee sun
rise?" Catharine asked.
"I see it every morning of my life,"
said Beine. "1 should like to show it
yoa from oar archway. Tha sea awak
ens first, all our animals stir as if they
knew it is a moat beautiful hoar,"
she said gravely, "and like a prayer be
fore work."
What was thore about Beine Chre
tien that attracted and interested hex
so curiously Cathaiino asked herself
this, and also how was it and why was
it that the place seemed so strangely
familiar Had she been there in some
previous existence 1 She turned snd
looked round about. Tha window, the
great cupboard, with' tha gleaming
bias she had
them beforesome-
where—she could not understand it.
Petitpere Went on composedly drinking
bis soup Catharine still stood in a
puzzle. She bad a silly little fancy
there would be a bright brass pot in
one of the corners, but it was not there
as she expected she could not under
stand it at all.
Beine begged them to. come and s?e
her again, and stood watching them
thoughtfully under the archway as they
Went homo across the fields where tbe
soldiers were reaping with peaceful
scythes, and tho corn fell against the
horizon, and the figures of the cleaners
with their golden troven treasures stood
out with garments flying against tho
sky. Then she turned and crossed the
court once more, and once she stopped

Catharine thought as she walked
back that morning that if she could
have forgotten all that had passed be
fore she oamfc to Tracy, all the people
she had known, all the things she had
thought, she eonid breathe onforyears
happily enough in this fruitful country.,
'But who. is there who would forget
willingly what has gone before There
are few who would not remember more
$%M s!i£$j?iil ov,enJbe pangs
they have forgotten.'
As they reached the court-yard, they
met Monsieur de Trasy heavily booted
land gaitered, all dressed in white, and
finishing his morning rounds. Mon
sieur Fontaine was with him, also in
lineii clothes.J Tflj acted W A sortf
•goaf' or manager in^Tracy's absence,
and used often to come up to talk over
Ibusinessandjsam: TheyaR met just
^inside the iron gates blithe court-yard.
Fontaine bowed profuohdry to the pret
ty, fresh-looking little miss, with the
great bunch of field-flowers in her
hand, and the bine ribbons in her crisp
black hair. The children clustered
round their father, and Henri held him
prisoner while Nanine stuck poppies
into all his button-holes, and little
Madeleine, who could reach no higher,
ornamented bis gaiters with flowers.
Meanwhile the following conversation
was going on:
"lou have quite recovered from the
fatigue ot your journey, I trust said
Fontaine. "One need scarcely ask
the question."
"Oui, monsieur," said Catharine,
looking up shyly.
"And mademoiselle has already sur
rounded herself with flowers," said
Fontaine, alludingtothe bouquet
"Oui, monsieur," said Catharine,
who did not know what else to say.
"Aad I hope that mademoiselle is
pleased with oar Country said Fon
taine, speaking both in his public and
bit private capacity.
"Oui, monsieur," said Catharine,
with great originality, half laughing at
her own stupidity, and moving away
toward the bouse, to put an end to such
a silly conversation.
It was like a scene in a play, like a
picture on a fan or a bonnet box. It
seemed as if nothing could be lesn
serous. The little banality, the bow,
the courtesy, it was a nothing, Catha
rine thought, or she would have
thought so had she thought at all. To
the children it was an instant of great
anxiety: would' the flowers tumble off
their papa when he moved hi* less
but Catharine tripped away unconscious
and unconcerned.'].
Poor Fontaine's fate, too, was .de
cided in that instant, when he bowed
profoundly, and Catharine turned away
with her quick little smile. Not at
Baycux, not at" Caen, not including thinking.
Madame la Soos-Prefette herself, was
there any onetobe oompared to this
charmingyoung Englishwoman, thought
the maire. As for a dot, be "would
prefer Miss George, with a moderate
sum, to Beine with all her! fortune
and then something told him that the
English were so orderly, such excellent
hooiekeepers, "Toilette is their aver
sion," thought Fontaine,' remembering
at the same time some of tbe bills he
had paid for Toto's poor mothet. He
built a castle in the air, a Tower of
Babel It was, poor fellow, reaohiag to
heaven. He perceived himself passing
Beine Chretien, With a lovely and
charmingly mannered Madame Fontaine
beside him, elegantly but not expen
sively attired he pictured her to him
self embroidering by his fireside, super
intending his menage. As he thought
of Catharine, a sweet, arch, gentle
glance came dazzling his eyes, like sun
light through the double eye-glass, and
at that minute Jean moved, after pa
tiently standing until his decoration
was complete, and, alas for poor little
Madeleine, all the flowers fell off him.
"Good-morning, Monsieur le Marie,"
said Madamo de Tracy, suddenly ap
pearing at the haU door. "Won't you
stay aad breakfast with us 7"
"Madame," said the marie, "you are
too good. I shall be quite delighted.''
Catharine liked the break fast-hour
at Tracy. They all came in cheerful
and freshly dressed, and took their
places in the long, picturesque-looking
salle, With its vaulted roof and many
windows. The food was farcfully and
prettily served and ornamented the
white bright china glittered on the
table the golden slid purple fruit was
heaped up bountifully. She liked to
took at it all from her place by Madame
de Tracy, as she liked looking st
Marthe's^pale, beautiful head opposite
to her, or Madame Jean's smart rib-ohildren
bens'. Catharine used sometimes to
compare the scene at Tracy—the cool
green windows, the festive-looking

diniog-room in Eaton Square, whore
the smoke had settled in clouds upon
the faded stucco walls, where Mr. But
ler sliced the eternal legs of mutton
while every body sat round and watch
ad tbe process in silence and anxiety.
Monsieur Fontaine eat next Cathar
ine to-day Madame de Tracy sent
them in together. She could not help
thinking, as she followed the couple,
•hat an easy solution there might be
to all her difficulties. The little thing
would be the very wife for Fontaine—
be would make an excellent husband.
It would be a home for her—the
mair's admiration was evident, and
Eroeatine had been too provoking that
morning.
There bad been an explanation, end
ing as explanations generally end, by
hopelessly confusing matters. Ernes
tine declared with the utmost liveliness
that she had not room to lodge a fly in
her apartments at Paris, and that noth
ing would induce her to have a gover
ness in tha house.
"But it is certain neither I nor your
grandmother requires one," said -poor
Madame de Tracy, at her wit's end.
"And wo go to on the twentieth
of next month. What am I to do?
How can I tell her 1"
It seemed like a second inspiration
to this impulsive lady when on her way
to tho breakfast-roem she happened to
see the little scene in the court-yard.
The bow, the respectful look of admira
tion, which said nothing to Miss
George, were like signals of approach
ing succor to the distressed hostess.
Madame de Tracy thought no more ot
parceling out the future of two living
souls than she did of matching her cap
strings. A she sat there at the head
of the table, she talked, schemed, made,
looked after them all, carved out des
tinies and ohicken with admirable pre
cision and rapidity. "Baptiste, take
thb wing to Monsieur do Tracy. Mar
the,. I know it is no use offering you
any. Monsieur le Maire, do you prefer
omelette
This was the first Friday that Cath
arine had spent at Tracy, and she saw
with a thrill that omelettes were being
handed round, and great flowery roast
potatoes and fried fish. There were,
however, chickens too, and cutlets, of
which, as a Protestant, she felt bound
to partake. Bo did Jean and his grand
mother. His mother was of au am
phibious persuasion, sometimes fish,
sometimes flics, as the fancy took ber.
She was by way of being a Protestant,
but she went to mass with her family,
and fasted on Fridays when Marthe
and Ernestine were there. Madame
de Tracy mere, as they called the old
lady up stain, had a dispensation.
Catharine was rather disappointed to
see them all quietly peppering and salt
ing the nice little dishes before tfaem,
and enjoying their breakfasts. She
thought of her aunt Farebrother's warn
ings the scene did not look very
alarming. Monsieur Fontaine, al
though strictly adhering to the rules
laid down by his church, managed to
make an excellent repast, attending at
the same timetohis companions' wants,
and passing Bait, and pepper, and su
gar with great empressment and gallant
ry. Catharine herself, before break
fast was over, became conscious of his
devotion, and, I am sorry to say, was
woman enough to be amused and not
displeased by it. Once she caught
Madame de Tracy's glance there were
no frozen looks now to chill and ter
rify, am determined I will npeak
to him on the subject immediately after—it
breakfast," Madame de Tracy was
"Monsieur le Maire, I want to show
you my new plantation. Ernestine,
little Madclaine is longing for a branch
of grapes. Baptiste, has Madame de
Tracy merest breakfast Jeen taken
up?" :t
"Madame desires a little more chick
en," said Baptiste, respectfully. "Mad
emoiselle Picard has just came down to
fetch some also a little Burgundy
wine, and egg, and some figs."
Catharine used to wonder at the sup
plies which were daily sent up from
every meal to invisible invalid.
She bad seen the shatters of her rooms
from without, but she never penetrated
into the interior of the apartment which
Madame de Tracy mere inhabited.
Once or twioe, in passicg, she had
heard a hoarse voice like a man's cal
ling Picard or Baptbe (they were the
old lady's personal attendants once
Catharine had seen a pair of 6tump
velvet shoes standing outside her door.
That was all. Old Madame do Tracy
was a voice, an appetite, a pair of shoos
to Catharine, no more.
Every body is something to some
body else. Certain hieroglyphics stand
to us in lieu of most of our neighbor?.
Poor little Catharine herself was
spossible storm sn discussion
to some of the people present—to
Matthe, a soul to be saved to Madame
de Tracy, a problem to be solved and
comfortably disposed of to Monsieur
Fontaine, carried sway by feelings,
the unconscious Catharine appeared as
ana of the many possible Madame Fon
taines in existence, and certainly the
most graceful aad charming of them alt
There Was only that unfortunate ques
tion of the dot to outweigh so much
amiability and refinement,
After breakfast every body disap
peared in different directions. The
and Miss George Went up into
Madame de Tracy's bedroom, where
she had desired them to sit of a morn
ing. It was a comfortable Napoleonic
it
laid tables, upon which bonbonnieres,
and liqueur-stands, and arrangements
for sugar and water were disposed
A laurel-crowned clock was on the
chimneypiece, over which the late M.
de Tracy's silhouette legion ol honor
and lock of hair were hanging neatly
framed and glazed. The children sat
with their heads together spelling out
their tasks. Catharine's bright rye*
glanced up and round about ihe r. ,m
and out across th gardens, and tbe
vine clad roofs of the cut-houses, the
flics came buzzing, inere was silence
and a scent of rip- Jruit from the gar
den. Suddenly, with a swift pang^ghe
remembered that it was a weet to-day
since she ha said good-by to Rosy and
Totty, and to Dick. The three names
ussd to come together somehow in her
thoughts. A. week already since she
had bade him a hasty farewell at the
door of a room with every body stand
ing round She could not bear to
thmk of it, she thought, as she began
to recall every expression, every sound,
every aspect of that instant, which had
been to her like Mohammed's, and
which had seemed to last for a thousand
yean.
The last few days had been so sunn/,
so easy, so harmonious a medley of
sweet summer weather, and gardens
and grapes, and lively talk, that Cath
arine haa been too much absorbed to
dream. People do not dream when
they are happy. For the last few days
she bad remembered without bitterness.
Life seemed to have grown suddenly
bearable, and almost easy once more.
If she had known how short a time her
tranquillity was to last, she might have
made more of it parhaps, and counted
each minute as it passed. Bat she did
not know, and she wasted many of them
as she was doing now, as we all do, in
unavailing hankering and regrets
precious little instants flying bj only
too quickly, and piping to us very
sweetly, and we do not dance. Look
ing back, one laments not so much the
unavoidable oorrows of life as its wasted
peaca and happiness, and thaa mere
precious minutes pass in remorse for
happiness wasted long ago.
"I wonder what grandmamma is
talking to Monsioar Fontaine about
said Nanisic,. ^andm- on tiptoe and
peeping out "Look, Miss George,
how they go walking up and down the
alloc verte."
Monsieur Fontaine seems very
much excited," said Catharine, smiling,
as Fontaine began gesticulating sud
denly, and stopped short in his walk to
give more emphasis to what he was
saying.

was saying

E AIMLESS EDUCATION" O
GIRLS.
From the Woman's Journal.
The education of boys and ghls is in
tended to be preliminary to the avoca
tions of life. The schooling of boys has
always been prospective their educa
tion has some definite end. They are
to enter on the practice of professions,
to acquire trades, to be actively engag
ed in the commercial world, to fill of
fices of trust and emolument. They
are to earn a livelihood, to achieve
something to hew their way to wealth,
distinction and usefulness, and to help
the world on in its development.
But for what are girls educated Or
dinarily their tuition is superficial, and
includes such branches of education as
are mainly ornamental and pleasing.
A little smattering of French and Ital
ian, considerable skill on the piano, an
ability to dabble in oils, crayon or wa
ter colore, a very thorough knowledge
of the arts of the toilet, and of dress,
with great proficiency in crocheting,
embroidery and light literature—these
generally make np the sum total of a
girl's acquirements, when she graduates
from the seminary or academy, and is
pronounced—educated. Tho aim of
this sort of education is very apparent
has reference to the catching of a
husband, although few among teachers,
pupils or parents would be frank enough
to avow it.
But when it is otherwise, and when
girls are thoroughly and substantially
educated in the mast complete and ex
tensive schools of the day orjen to them,
for what arc they educated? Their
education is aimless they are to go no
where—Ihey are to do nothing. The
customs of society—and some assert
their own physical weakness, though
we dispute it—close to them the pro
fessions, end trades, commercial and
mercantile life, even when fitted for
them, and with tastes in that direction.
If compelled to earn their own liveli
hood, they can teach, sew, set type, be
milliners, dress-makers, cashiers, libra
rians, boak-ksepers on a small scale, or
enter any of the other under-paid and
crowded employments into which women
are perpetually remanded. Or, if they
do not need the pittance that cemes
from these crowded occupations, they
may drone in elegant and demoralizing
idleness in their father's house, till
they are taken thence by a husband, to
a home of their own.
Is it strange, that under this inexor
able rnle of society, girls sink into
frivolity and nothingness—or, worse
yet, fall into intriguing and dissolute
ways Or, if endowed with heart and
intellect of an order that hungers for
food, and cannot be nourished by the
pabulum that modern society offers to
the young woman, shall we wonder if
she beat the wings of her spirit against
the gilded bars of her cage, and grow
morbid and restless, bitter and sick of
life, aad consequently sick in body
Need we wonder that so many girls en
ter with giddy zest into almost the on
ly career open to them—that of hus
band-hunting
The curse ot woman's aimless edu
cation and dependent life is that it
perverts those sentiments and aspira
tions which should be the highest and
holiest. It leadstomarriages of inter
est, snd convenience, and necessity,
