PORTRAIT OF A CHILD.
Hlfl little lace Is BO pure , so fln * ? , *
Fine as a cameo , pale , and quaint *
As an elf of. the wood ; the itender line
Of the eyebrow , tout slightly arched , Bad
faint ;
But the blue eyes under
A shining wonder-
Clear as a still lake , deeps on deeps ,
Holding the sunlight , they gleam upon 700 ;
The soul beneath them never sleeps ;
It smiles from the blue , .and lot H
you.
The face is slight , and shaped like a heart ;
It hints of song , like a violin ;
Sloping in delicate lines that start
From the broad , clear brow to the tiny chin.
Formed for gladness ,
Yet touched with sadness
Oh , dear child-face ! whore the shadow sleeps
( The shade of a shadow , that comes and goes }
Down the tender cheek , with its paling rose ;
To the full , pure curve of the perfect lips.
"
f
jNot the face of an angel , this
But the face of a human child , made sweet
fTo hold between loving bands , and kiss ;
A wistful face , that your eyes should greet
With looks as tender
1 As love can render
To all that love in the world holds best ;
. A face for grieving , for wonder and hope ,
Through whoso strange clearness the soul
has scope
To shine , in its spotless childhood blest.
Home-Maker.
A FLOCK OF GEESE.
| The Part They Playad in a Love
Affair.
T WAS a sultry
afternoon i n
July , and Kit
ty Ryan was
g r o w ing
drowsy over
her sewing ,
w h o n her
mother came
briskly up the
box - bordered
walk and en
tered the cozy
sitting - room ,
jnear one of the vine-draped windows at
iwhich the young girl was seated
Mrs. Ryan and her daughter were as
[ unlike each other as mother and child
! could well bo.
The widow was tall and angular in
form , with flinty black eyes , and hair of
the same color , glossy and straight , and
always combed from the low , broad
jforehead with critical precision. The
jbroad mouth was firmly drawn down at
the corners , while the whole contour of
( her face betokened an inflexible will
iand a firm adherence to any formed
jopinion. Kitty was short in stature ,
. 'slender and sylph-like in form , with
idoep , blue eyes full of melting tender-
| ness. Then she had the curliest auburn
ihair and lips that , in their smiling
curves , bespoke a yielding disposition.
" " . she took
"Kitty."saidMrs. Ryan , as
off her sun-bonnet and wiped the pers
piration from her face , "the geese have
-.all got into Ralph Homer's wheat lot ,
iand you will hava to go and eet them
out. If young Homer should find them
ithere they would all come home with
'broken bones. Ralph is just such an
other as his father was before him ,
There never was any good in any of
the Homer stock. So run along and get
the geese homo befor ? he sees them ,
'strange ' that George and Will always
ihappen away just when they're wanted
at home. "
Soon Kitty was walking down the
, maplo-shaded lane which ran between
the two farms. The wind murmured
musically through the leaves of the
'trees , and the little brook , which
'skirted ' the road-side , purled over its
stoney bed in soft and harmonious re-
isponscs.
And Kitty hoard , and naturally
enough gave way to musings quite
'foreign to her errand.
But though the geese running riot in
-Ralph Homer's grain were forgotten ,
'the ' young master of the domain him
self was not
' Kitty's memory carried her back to
jthe days when as schoolmates she and
[ Ralph Homer had been all in all to each
[ other , and , the time when the boy , then
'grown ' to young manhood , come home
from the Princeton Academy to set her
childish heart fluttering with his lover-
Ilike attentions.
Then came one of those schisms
twhich so of ten destroy the harmony and
| good-will of long-tried friends.
Mrs. Ryan and her husband considered -
[ ered themselves the injured parties , the
( former declaring that henceforth neith-
jer she nor hers would .have aught to do
'
'with the Homers ; and old Homer ,
I equally ready to lay the blame on the
Ryans , forbade his family ever to renew
the acquaintance , now virtually at an
end. Several years had /passed sines
( HE WAS BATHING HER HEAD WITH
WATER
( then , and the heads of both families
< were moldering to dust , and yet the
[ neighbors kept aloof from each other.
All this , and a great deal more , came
< to Kitty's mind as she walked , and she
( wondered with a little sigh whether
iRalph remembered her as she did him ,
land whether they were always to be as
strangers to each other.
But the great flock of geese were
doing mischief surely , and Kitty soon
/forgot her cogitations in pursuit of the
truant bipeds.
A goose has either loss brains , or more
obstinacy , or both , than any other crea-
iture , and these either could not or
'would ' not see the broken board through
which they had entered ; and Kitty's
[ patience was becoming exhausted when
* ij
her foot caught upon a atone , causing
her to fall to the ground. She attempted
to rise , but a violent pain in her ankle
rendered it impossible. , ,
' "inVnother moment Kitty was lying
on the jjround'in a'dead faint.
When she [ recovered she found herself
.in the shade of. a huge , maple which
overhung the brook , with somebody
Who was1 bathing hdr head with water
from his hat And somebody's eyes
looked tenderly into her own as she
opened them , and then , seeing she was
so pale , a stout arm encircled her waist
for support
Kitty was in the care of Ralph
Homer. And with his arm still about
her and his face so close to hers that
their hair almost mingled , Mrs. Ryan
found them , as she came in quest of
Kitty , whose protracted stay had some
what alarmed her.
The widow's face grew dark wiih pas
sion and her eyes had a ferocious gleam
in their black depths as they rested en
the frank , though now slightly flushed ,
face of the young man.
"Kitty , I am utterly astonished at
you ; and as for you , sir , your presump
tion is only equalled by your stupidity.
Never dare , sir , to speak to my daugh
ter again. "
"And why , madam ? "
"You know very well why. If you do
not , let your memory of the past help
you to the knowledge. Never attempt
to span the gulf that years ago came
between us. Come , Kitty , what ails
you ? Get up and come away at onre. "
Then Kitty found the use of her
tongue and stammered forth the cause
of her non-return.
"Well , I can carry you home , " said
the widow , coldly ; her pity for her
daughter's suffering lost in .her anger at
finding her in company with the man
she considered her bitterest enemy.
She was bending over Kitty and en
deavoring to lift her , when Ralph
pushed her gently aside and with a low-
spoken "permit me , " addressed more to
the daughter than the mother , he lifted
the suffering girl in his arms as though
she were a mere child and bore her
homeward , Mrs. Ryan following close
in his path , silently anathematizing
both the young farmer and the unlucky
accident which had made his assistance
necessary.
When they reached the widow's cot
tage Ralph deposited his burden on the
sofa , received Mrs. Ryan's formal and
insincere "thank you , " pressed Kitty's
hand in a way that sent the warm blood
in a rosy flush to her pale face and de
parted.
But if Mrs. Ryan flattered herself
that here the affair would end , she was
doomed to disappointment , for every
morning , during Kitty's confinement to
the house , Ralph was with her , and
Mrs. Ryan , though very angry , made
1IKS. RYAN MET HIM AT THE DOOR.
no open opposition to his visits ,
but muttered something about "farmers
leaving their work to take care of itself ,
while they forced their company where
their room was preferable. "
But gradually as she saw more of the
young man whose daily visits always
brought such a happy light to Kitty's
eyes , Mrs. Ryan , almost unconsciously
to herself , began to like him , and , as
this now feeling grew upon her , she
often found herself glancing with ad
miring eyes down the maple-shaded
lane to rest on the broad stretch of
meadow and upland beyond. It was the
finest farm around , the widow began to
acknowledge to herself , and then came
though more tardily a second ac
knowledgment , viz. : That if Ralph was
a Homer , he wasn't so much like his
father after all , but more resembled his
mother , against whom personally Mrs.
Ryan could remember nothing evil.
The widow was standing in the door
way overlooking the Homer estate
when-this conclusion became settled in
her mind. Probably the undulating
stretch of well-tilled acres had its in
fluence in bringing about this decision.
Be this as it may , the next morning when
Ralph called as usual to learn how
Kitty was doing , instead of sending the
little maid of work to admit him , with
injunctions to stay with her young
mistress until Mr. Homer left , Mrs.
Ryan herself met him at the door and
conducted him , with encouraging smiles
and pleasant words , to the cool parlor
where.Kitty was reclining. Of course ,
after such a generous and unlooked-for
reception , the young man's visit was
longer than common , and before he left
he was made happy by the assurance
that Kitty's love and her mother's con
sent to an early union were his.
And all this through the predatory
proclivities of a flock of geese. Helm j
