Selected Miscellany.
Miss Brown and I.
One bright and lovely day in spring,
I left the busy town,
And wandered through a garden with
Sweet Aramidta Brown ;
And when I asked, "Art fond of flowers!"
In accents sweet, she said,
"Oh, ves, I'm very fond of Hour
Ktb.o shape of good wheal bread."
Behold," said I, "the lovely plants,
That round u sweetly bloom.
Without their charming brightness
The world would all be gloom.
I love even the cowslip
That blooms in meadows green."
I think" said she, "cowslips are nice.
When boiled whit pork and beans."
"I lvc," said I, "tho gladsome birds,
Singing their songs so sweet."
"I think," said she, "a nico fat bin!
Is very good to cat."
And when we passed a lovely rose
With flowers just blossoming
"Oh, dear," said she, "I've so atched my hand
Upon the ugly thing."
She pointed to a running vino
That just then caught her eye,
What is that lovely plant:" she asked.
"A squash," was my reply.
"Oh, yes," "he. "squashes arc good,
When nicely boiledjand pressed,
But still, I think of all the plants
I love the onion best."
I talked to her of poetry.
Of music, art and nature.
In hopes t find some object that
Wouli please tho fair oung creature.
But when she moved her lips to speak,
As true as I'm a sinner,
She only said, It's almost time
For us tojgo to dinner."

SECOND LOVE.
BV EDITH EDWARDS.
Tho November afternoon was dark
ening into night as Florence and I
drove back from the cemetery where
wo had seen our father laid to rest.
1 was twenty two, that summer, and
the atliauccd bride of Alden Free
man ; but, Mnee my lather'" failure
and death, I bad not seen hint and
my heart told me only too plainly,
that the love winch bad been given
to Marion Wilbur, the lavored of tor-
tune, had not been trausfened to
ilariou W'ilbor the homeless orjihan.
Fiorauce, though younger than J, i
was married; had her home and her :
husband, and eould afford to look up
on my father's failure and death
calmly ; but I what was Ito do ? I j
must oegui tuo w orm, aim ram u u - ;
ing for myself.
We stopped before tho mansion
that bad so long boon homo that af
ter to-night would bo homo no long
er. "I wish to speak to you, Marion,'
Floranco said.
I led the way into the library.
"Well?" I said, sitting down in
tho gloom. "What is it, Floranco?"
"It is this, Marion. What do you
moan to do?"
"i don't know," I said, drearily
enough.
"It is tinioyou did," said Florance.
"You must earn your own living. I
tell you frankly tbat I can not offer
you a homo, and you must get somo
situation. To-morrow you must
leavo this house. You bavo no mon
ey. Whore arc you going ?"
I droppod my head on tho table
and burst into toars. Ob tho un
speakable desolation and misery I
felt at tbat motnont ! My sistor had
never beou over-stocked with affec
tion for her family, and thoughts of
tbo world bad always filled a large
place in hor heart; but it did seem as
if sho might at loast give me timo to
bury my father before thrusting roe
into it and not my fathor only, but
my lovor, for was he not dead to mo
also, and must I not bury him out of
my sight ?
"I have boen more thoughtful for
you than you have been for yourself"
pursued Floranco. "I have found
you a temporary homo. Mrs. Brown
is in want of a seamstress.
1 havo spoken for you; hor
terms are liberal, and you are to go
theroatonco."
Marion Wilbor go out as a seams
tress! How coolly she talked!
of it! It is astonishing-how per
sons will talk of discomfort when they
are not the parties concerned. I
did not lift my head, but cried on,
silent, wretched tears as ever a wo
man wept.
"You will go there to-morrow
morning, when you leave hero, and
while there you can advertise for an-1
