Alas! 'these are not resaautic time!' It was sormtime during the summer ef 1780 tkat a little group, composed of the prieeipsl prscaajes of our storj, was assembled before te door of the neat unambitious dwelling on Lee's farm. A middle agf d woman.

Oa tbe door itep stood a little ir about nine years old. Hers was the completion which the vulgar call fair, f.r.d the connoissare brunette, hav ;ng th." fiintest hue of browa diffused over a perfectly eUarand pare surface her cheek

J3t rol'.eved by exquisitely ronaded and

aim alert hands and arms, and feet whoso

symmetry was aot marred nor oaite hidden

by the 'j.iurnejwork' ef her bread calf-akin sbs. Beside this girl stood Francis Gra-

try afforded. Mrs. Lee's nrinciales wera all

in faver of the mealing, bnt the sympathies of

aer wine neart were with the young people They prevailed, and the consent was given. The rovers strolled along the margin of the stream, discoursing of woodcraft, while Lanra wng around the wilUws that hung over the water, and dashed 'through bush and through briar,' fearless of mils and scratch es, and full of the reckless jey of a child ef nature. They crossed a rude bridge, and entered a wood where they expected U find Gjame, but very winged creature seemed to have abandoned it, and they were taming homeward, when Lora, who was a little in advance of them, beckoned, and painted to a Lark perched on a branch ef the tren under which be stood. Harry elevated his gua, Lora hvld forwards the apron of her freek to cateh the victim. The gaa was discharged, and the lark fell quivering on Lora's extended freck, dotting its pure surface with drops er blood. The current of Lara's feelings turned, her sympathy w!th the eager pursait of the sporttnen was gone, she pressed the bird to her bos..m, and wkea its head dropped, as she saw it was dead, she burst iato tears: 'Oh, it is cruel, creel sport," she said. "Why, what ails you new, Lora?" asked Harry, yeu have seea us kill hendreda of birds, and cared for them no mere than we.' "Yes, hut I never before felt one, while it was wnrrn and breathing, and if was singing he moment yoe shot it; aad did you aot see how It turned its poor little bright eye on me, a if ta ak hew I coald wish yon to raur-

eer it."

Pshaw, Lorn," said Harry, 'sav Rhoot. and

"Net you, Lora," rejeiaed Harry, 'yoa woold live a merry Ufa with the survivor.' These werds werespokea lightly enough, but with what feeling were they many years af ter recalled. How mysteriously dees an ap parently trifling Veat , or a raadom sentence, sometimes shadow forth the future. The stream was unasuallp shallow, and the young men, on their return, determined to ford it, instead ef eoinff round be the bridoe

Harry let fll some thin of her liking Graham's arm better than his shoulders, and Francis cnafessed himself pledged to Mrs. Lee, to make good the torn and soiled Iroek with a pretty aow one. This was to them the period of gay- visions and romantic dreams. Life was all joy.

It mast be confessed that the was bred somewhat daintily; ia pite of mar.v a suggestion of Mrs. Lea's thoughtful neighbors,that instead of fitting Laura to be a farm er's wife, she was bringing hCr up for an idol, and nothieg else. And an idol she was, if unmeasured love could make her so. But as Mrs. Lee very justly said, it was nobody's fault, for nobody could help loving her. Lara was one of those who seem to he gifted with a marvellous touch, that opens the fountains ef affection in every nature, that eliti's harmony frem the coarsest and most discordant instruments. That Lora, with bar tender affections, her grace and beauty, should bo loved by her cousin Marry Lee, and his friend Graham, was a matter of course; but
