When their anthems of harmonv burst out abov e. And joy thrilled each oice into song? Do you think that In heaven the trumpets are still.

That the harps of the saints are unstrung. When the Sabbath day dawns is it Heaven's high will That the hj. nns of the sav cd be unsung' No, no. we have chosen the best of all davs To march ith our garlands of bloom, Tolhe spot where they sleep, with praver and with praise.

At a rustic inn, up among the hills, two young men sat talking. One was an artist in search of the pictuiesque, the other his friend, who had accompanied him.

"Such an adventure as I had this morning," said the latter, kuocking the askes from his cigar. "As to how?" answered the otlipr, lazily. "Well, you know went out to make a cast for trout while you were sketching. Tiled cut, atlatt I came to the little ferry you know so well, and, instead of the old fellow who usually rowed the boat, I found one of the prettiest girls I ever saw." "His daughter, I "Presumably. But, if so, only another illustration of my iepub-lican notion if any were needed that birth and fortune do not necessarily make beauty." "Didn't you find her grammar rather halting? It's where true rusticity shows itself." "She was too shy to talk much.

I tried in vain to start a flirtation, and, when that failed, to get her to talk of herself and her belonging; but all I could wring from her was that the ferryman was down with the rheumatism, and she was taking his place. 'Five cents' fare, sir," she added, coolly, as we reached the opposite shore; and with that she held the skiff with a boathook, while 1 stepped ashore. When turned to bow to her, after having climbed the banks, I saw her rowing back; nor did sle ever look my way," Harry Mordant was not especially susceptible In fact, he hud run the gauntlet of several seasons and was heart-whole. Perhaps one reason of this was that, from his earliest boyhood, it bad been impressed on him that he was to marry a certain Lily Wentwurth, a fourth or fifth cousin of his, as she grew up. His father and hers had been life-long friends, and tho arrangement had been made between the two old men; a very sensible arrangement, as they considered, since it would unite two large fortuues, both Lily and Harry being only children.

As for Harry, he accepted his fate quite resicnedlv. It was a thing that had to be; and since he had never met auy girl he could love, as he had read in novels girls were loved he concluded that either he was unimpressionable or that such love was a mere fiction of the romancer. But now, for the first tinrc, lie began to doubt. For not only on that first day for a week, he had somehow found he had to cross the ferry, and sonic days more than once, and the result was that, before the week was out, he was hopelessly in love with the ferryman's pretty niece. "No, she is not his daughter," he told his friend; "thai much I've found out.

She must be his niece. I hear he has one, who lives with him. That much I learned from a lout of a boy I saw picking berries near there yesterday, and whom I took "the liberty to "Is she as shy as at "Not entirely. She talks even eloquently at times as to the books she has read, her love of flowers. "Why, she knows every wild blossom other times, I she sees! But, at can hardly get her to say a word." "Look here, old fellow," said his friend; "don't you think we'd better pack up and be off! You're falling in love very bad.

And, considering what I know about Miss "Wentworlh and you, that's a contingency not at all desirable Harry Hushed up to the roots of his hair. "Oh, hang Miss Wentworth!" 'he said, at last. "Iliad forgotten nil nlvrvnf lirvr "Where is she "On the ocean, I believe. You know she has been abroad for live years, completing her education, firstiu Paris and then by a year of travel. I am to meet her at New-poit next month She and her people that is, papa and mamma were to leave Paris yesterday for Havie, where they weie to take the French steamer.

"My advice is more necessary than ever. Leave this at "Oh, confound it, but I can't! We've accepted an invitation to that ball, at the Lethingtons', for to-morrow night." "But we onlj'kuow them slightly; in fact, since I think of it, we don't know them at all. You brought a letter of introduction to them. Mr Lethington called, and we were out; you called, he was out: and then came the ivitation. Yon wouldn't know each other if you met." "But they're such swell people.

It would be rude not to go, especially since I wrote and asked for an invitation for you, and Mrs. Lethington was so good as to send one. Besides, I should like you to see the grounds. Even from the glimpses I caught during my drive from the lodge to the house, I pMild discern they were beautiful: ly laid out, with tho rarest trees, and each one perfect in Itself." "I have been struck by the house, even at a distance; I've seen it across the lake. Once I tried to sketch the view, putting in some swans that came sailing along.

Here it is. Picturesque, isn't it? OE course, I should like t) go; only, for your sake, I think we had better leave "But we can't." Harry blurted out, after gnawing his mustache for a minute. "I can't at least, until after to-morrow night; I must go to the ball. "What! Is your fair inamorata going? I didn't know that ferrymen's nieces were asked to such swell places as the Lethingtons', But perhaps Mr. Lethington contemplates running for Congress, and so wishes to njaUe himself popular." "No she almost snapped Harry.

"That's just it. She's only a ferryman's daughter; though to keep up distinctions in this republican country is simply absurd." "Well, ves in one sense. But remember; while politically we are a republic, iu social matters we are still as exclusive as our Eng lish ancestors. However, since your paragon can't go, why must vnn?" "The fact is." stammered Harry, driven to the wall, "I said something about going to this ball, and she told me that the servants ami poorer neignbors were allowed to come inside the grounds and look in the windows. And and', "Oh, I understand Sparc your blushes.

You p'romised to steal out and join her, and look in the windows, too." And he into a hearty laugh. my boy, don't let your hostess catch you at it." This was too much for Hany To be laughed at was more than he could bear. So, to avoid quai-relling outright with his- friend, he snatched his hat and hastily left the room. He struck iuto.a path across the fields which he had never travers-ed before, a circuitous path, that wound by a "wood, and then through it'; a path that came out finally on Leathington Lake. This lake was not very large, but it was a very picturesque one, made by the widening of the little river over which Harry had so often been ferried.

Just as he emerged from the grove, he saw, at some distance, a lady standing up in a small flat bottomed skiff, and propelling it along by a pole. Several swans were following her, as if familiar companions. Her dress was strikingly effective, being ol black velvet, fitting close to her figure; and it was a figure of which any one, even a princess, might have been proud. A broad Rubenslike hat, with fi drooping ostrich feather, completed her costume. The face was turned from him, and, before he could catch a glimpse of it, the skiff shotarcund a little promontory and was lost to sight.

"The -Lady of the by cried' Harry. "She man ages a boat, too, as if born to it, What suppleness 1 What grace in the figure! Is this fairy-land. I've been everywhere at Newport, Saratoga, the White Sulphur and yet here, jn this out of the way place, I've seen, within a week, two prettier girls than I ever" saw He told of his adventure to his friend on his Ireturn to the inn, concluding by siying: "Now, Jack, lere's a chance for you. This new 'Lady of the Lake' is obviously stiying at the Lethingtons. You'll be sure to see her to-night." "Pardon me." answered the other: "you're almost as much in love with her, I see, as with the ferryman's niece; and I shan't interfere.

Water nymphs seem to be your fatality. Why in a tone of badinage, "get up a sculling match betveen the two, and give the goldeu apple, a-la-Paris, to the one tha; wins. But to be serious, I'm tuite reconciled to stay now; for vith two inamoratas, you're not likely to come to mischief; and, if tiere's danger at all, it's the 'Lady if the Lake' that, in the long mu to be feared. I know vou Harcy. A girl without money you midit marry; but you'd never marry oie without The two youig men went early to the ball, oil mrry looked in vain for the 'lady of the Their host had two daughters both fine jrirls; bit neither had the graceful figure he wished Jack to see.

After he had done his uty by dancing tvo or three sets he stole ont of diors, and was not long before he foqnd the ferryman's niece. A delicious half hour was which Harry would have nude longer if his companion had not insisted she must go home, He would have even attended ho: all the way; but this she would mt permit. "Why not," he said, at last They had wandered off, and were now quite aloni. "You know how I lovo you. All I ask is to be your protector tirough life.

Let me begin now. is not safe, believe me, for go But she broke from his arms, which attempted to encircle her. "It is safer, at for she said with a gay high, "if you are going to talk I know, Mr. Mordant, tha you are a rich man's sou. Wha would he think if he saw you now with me.

You need not protest. You will think differently of all tlis to-morrow." "Never, never Neither tomorrow nor auy otier day. Dear, you love me; I kmw you do. You are too truthful to have listened to me as you have this last week if you meant to treat me in this way at last." This was a bold stroke, but it proved the wisest The girl flushed and hesitated. "No," she replied, "I am not a heartless coquette.

I But whatever she was going to say, she checked herself. "Come to the ferry to-morrow. Come to the house-, I mean; see how poor, how mean is the life there, and then then," she faltered, "if you are still of the same mind" ith the words, she snatched away the hand which he had been holding, plunged into the shrubbery, and disappeared. "If that it the test, dear," said Hany, as he took his way back to the house, "you will not find me wanting. You are as proud as a duke's daughter.

You would have me see how ferryman's niece lives, before you will believe I am iu earnest. Well, at the worst, I can earn my living; and poverty is bliss, compared with a loveless union." Half an hour later Mrs. Lethington came up to Harry as he stood in the doorway, watching the dancers and gnawing at his mustache. "Oh, this will never do," she said. "I forgot you and your friend were strangers.

I must in troduce you to a partner." She took his arm and led him a few steps to the right. "A 'nes," she said, "this is a friend of one of oiii" friends, Mr. Mordant, Miss Perci-val; Miss Percival, Mr. Mordant." For a moment Harry was dumb. He saw before him the "Lady of the Lake." There was no mistak ing the graceful figure.

The elaborate ball-dress was very different from the simple velvet of yesterday; but it displayed with even greater effect, the lines of the lithe form, the rounded arms, the snowy shoulders, ne bowed low; then, as lit! raised his eyes and for the first time saw the face, he staitcd so that the crush hat he held fell to the lloor. For if ever two faces could be alike in every particular, those of the ferryman's niece and "Lady of the Lake" were alike. His having to stoop to pick up his hat gave him a moment to recover himself. Turning to iss Porcival to ask for a dance, he saw a look ho had ofteu seen before one of sly mischief. "Is it rc-ssible?" stammered.

"What a witch you are; or l'athcr what a metamorphosis." "Does that odd remark," was the demure reply, "mean that you don't wish to dance with me? Gentlemen have ofteu called me a sylph, sir, or even sometimes a goddess, but I've never been called a witch before, much less a metamorphosis, whatever that may be." There was no mistaking her now. This was a touch of the samegaye-ty and sprightlincss, the inborn repartee, as he had then thought it, which had so charmed him iu the ferryman's niece. In a moment more, a waltz struck up, and Harry, with his arm around her waist, was whirling around the room witli "The Lady of thoLake.1' His partner danced to perfection. "You will give me your answer he whispered, as they floated arouudj.her head drooping almost on his shoulder "You know, uow, don't you, dear, that you're loved for yourself only?" "Take me into tho conservatory," she whispered in reply, "after the waltz I know spot where nobody find us. I want to tell you how I came to be at the ferry.

You innsu't think masquerade on purpose." The story was soon told. This time, wheu narry's arm stole about her waist, it was allowed to remain there unopposed; for another waltz was in full progress, and the conservatory was empty, except, for themselves. Iu a few words, she told him the old ferryman was a great friend of hers, and how, when he. was struck down with rheumatism, she had offered to keep his ferry for him, "for he had nobody to do it," she added, "and I was familiar with boats and boatinjr." "It was you, then, that I saw yesterday on the lake." said Har ry. And he told of his adventure.

"Thcie was something about your figure that puzzled me; it seemed familiar, and yet not. It was the exquisitely fitting velvet dress, in contrast to the one you wore at the ferry." She laughed a low, musical laugh, and, looking up at him, answered with gay raillery: "That shows how stnpid all yon men are. A shabby dress makes all the difference "Now, dear, you know that's not fair." "No; it wasn't," she said. "I must beg your pardon for all the deception. "I must beg your pardon for all the deception.

I was going to tell you long 'igo, as soon," with a little embarrassment, "well, as soon as I saw you liked me, only, when yon spoke of this ball, and seemed go sorry that 1 couldn't be present, I had to give way to the fun, and keep up the deception, just to see if you would come out and speak to me. I pleaded a bead to Mrs. Lethington for being late; said I would take a cup of tea and try to sleep for an hour, before coming down, and that was the hour I gave to you, you foolish fellow, out on the lawn." There was a sound, after this, suspiciously like a kiss. It was probably not that, for the lady showed no signs of auger. The next day Harry and his finance went out on the lake, at his invitation; he pulling the oaiv, she steering.

It was a beautiful day, and sky and water were in unison with their hearts. After awhile Harry laid aside the oars and let the boat drift. His companion sat for some time in silence, letting her left hand trail in the watei. At last she said, but hesitatingly and still looking down: "I've an6ther confession to make. I'm not Miss Percival at all.

That was a name I asked Mrs. Lethington to introduce me by to you last night. I told her I had a particular reason for it; that 1 wished to take you by surprise." "I don't understand." "Wtll, to be moreexplicit, have you never heard of girls being promised in their cradles, by their parents, to boys scarcely old enough to go to school? Have you uuver imagines mat, in such a case, a girl, when sue grew up, might shrink from such a compact, naturally wishing to be loved for herself? Now, I know just such a case. It was that of a young lady who had been for years in Europe, and who was about to be brought home to make the acquaintance of her finance. As a sort of reprieve, she persuaded her people to let her come home a couple of months earlier, with some friends whose acquaintance slid had made in Paris.

SJie oamo, and "Great heavens, and you are Lily!" cried Harry. "Well, you are a witch." "Yes am Lily. But I had no idea who you were when I did meet you, till till blushing and more embarrassed than ever, "the second day, when you let slip your name. After that, dear," and this time she glanced up shyly for an instant, "I wished to see if you love me for myself, which led to all the deception that followed. Do you really, really forgive me?" For answer Harry leaned forward iit the imminent peril of upsetting the boat, and drawing her to him kissed her again and again.

Then he drew back and contemplated her gravely for a moment. "What is it?" she said, just the least bit frightened at his change of manlier. "You look as solemn as an owl." "I was thinking how glad the governor would be." "And mine, too, as for that; though, perhaps," demurely, "he'll not quite like your marrying a ferryman's niece, for that is what you tell me you thought I was." 1 "I shall not marry the ferry man's niece," he retorted. "I shall put it more romantically. I shall marry "The Lad' of the Lake." And to this day Harry calls his wife, though they have been wed- ded for years, The Lady of the Lake.

Canning Fruit. There are always some new housekeepers every summer who need initiating into the mysteries of fruit canning. It is very simple when you know how, bnt many jars are broken and many quarts of fruit lost by lack of a little knowledge. Jars that have been used for pickles are not safe repositories for fruit. It seoms almost impossible to sweeten such jars so that fermentation will not take place if fruit or vegetables are put up there in.

Isevr jars should be chosen carefully, without bubbles or blemishes iu the When new jars are used there is almost certainty of success; but when old ones are used there is a chance of failure. Old jars may be cleansed and sweetened bv scalding with boiling water and putting in the sun for a day or two; or some put them in a boiler with a cloth b2neath, and fill with water, allowing all to come to a boil. Rubbers and tops, too, mint be clean and sweet. Rubbers may be bought for five or ten cents a dozen and it would pay to get new each year rather than run the risk of losing the fruit. After canning, put the fruit in a cool, dry, dark place.

Many jars of fruit and vegetables are spoiled simply from leaving iu a light place; and the color of fruit, too, is frequently impaired in the same way. To prevent breakage of jars I always wet a cloth in hot water and fold several times, and set the jars theron. There is no danger incurred, and after filling a few you will learn to do so without having your heart iu your throat. I think it a good plan to be sure there is frnit in the bottom before the hot mixture touches the side of the jar. T.iese are the only necessary precautions.

In canning fruit, screw the tops close after filling, and then when cold screw down again. If jars are tipped bottom np and no liquid exudes, there is no danger of fruit spoiling; but if the juice Coinesout the jar is not airtight, and the fruit is liable to spoil. Free Pills.
