What should it know of daatli I met a little cottage giri She was eight years old. she said Her hair was thick with many a curl That cluttered round her head. She had a rustic, woodland air. And she was wddly clad Her eyes were fair, and very fair â€" Her beauty ma^e me glad. " Sisters and brothers, little maid, How many may you be?" " How menv Seven in all," she said. And wondering looked at me. " And where are they? I pray you tell." She auswi red, 'â-  Ktven are we And two of us at Conway dwell, And two are gone to sea. " Two of us in the ehu'chyard Uc, My sister and my brother And, in the churchyard cottage, I Dwell near them wi'Ji my mother." '• Yon say that two at Conway dwell. And two are gone to sea. Yet you are seven â€" I pray you tell. Sweet maid, how this mav be " Then did the little ma a reply, " Seven boys and girls are we Two of us in tbe churchyard lie. Beneath the churdiyard tree." '-Yon ran about, my little maid, Y'cnr limbs tli^-y are alivo If two are in the churchyard laid, Thiu ycu are on'.y live." " Thei- graves are preen, they may be seen," The httle maid replied, "Twelve steps or more from my mother's door. And they are side by side. "My stockings there I often knit, My kerchief there I hem And there upon the ground I sit â€" I sit and sing to thorn. " And often after sunset. Sir, When it is light and fair, I take my little porringer, And eat my supper theie. " The flr^t that died was httle Jane In bed she moauuig lay. Till God released her of her pain And then she went away. " So in tbe ehnrchyaid she was laid And all the summer dry, Togctber round her grave we played, My brother John rud I, â- * And when the ground was white with snow. And I could ruu and tlid*. My brother John was forced to go. And ho lies by her side." " How mnny are ou, then," said I. " If they two are in heaven " The httle maiden did reply, " O master we are seven." " Bat they are dead those two are dead I Their spirits are in beiven 1 " 'Twas throwing words away for still The little maid would have her will. And said, Nay, we are seven 1 " iwomwoM. PABTH.

What in the name of all that is mysterious can luiTa brought her here ' Lady Dangarfield requested Mies Herheasfle's eqmpany at dinner. Miss HeincasUe mused. ' And I nm to diue «ith the Bifiht Hon. the Earl of Buysland, tlie Lady Oeeti,.aud two baru^eta. Sonia of us are boru great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrast upon them. I «B one of the latter, it appears. I thought the power to wonder at any- thi*ig earthly had hft me for ever, but I wonder what L.idy Cecil means by thi^.' Miss Herncaatle, the governess, ualf an honr later sat down among this very elegaut company at (li'iuer. Sir Peter DangerfieU scowled tl trough his eye glass as hu took his seat. 'What the deuce does this mean ' be thought, savagely -bringiug the brats' governess to dinner. Miss Herocastle found herself placed betTcen the Earl of Ruysland aad Sir Arthur TregennA. The earl, splendidly got up, spotless, ruifled, snowy linen, tail-coat, rose iu his but* ton- hole. Diamond ring on his fin- ger, hair perfumed, and hands white and delictte as his daughter's own, looked the whole patritian peeiageof England personified iu Limself. And with all the suave gallantry of a lat- ter-day Chesterfield he paid oom- plimeiits and made himself eminen- tly agreeable to tbe lady by whom he was seated. Hi8diTes'iou might be up8t, his peace of mind destroyed by the pioximitv, but his handsome face was placid as a summer's lake. 'Your reading of that poem was something quite wonderful, Miss Herncastle, I give yon my word. 1 have heard some of the bo^t elocu- tionists of the day â€" ou the stage and off itâ€" but upou my life, my dear young lady, you might make the best of tliera look to their luuivls.' ' Y'our lordship is pLased to be com- plimentaiy or sarcastic â€" the latter, I greatly fear. It is one thing to read a poem decently, and quite another to electnly the world as Lady Macbsth. B BDme chaice she looked up as she finished speaking, and met a pair of cynical blue eyes be!oi?giug to the Irish-Afrioan soldier, Captain O'Don- neil. ' Miss Htmcastie does herself less than iust'Cc.'he said very slowly. A great actress slie might never be â€" we have no great actresses now a-days â€" bulf a clever actress, I am very sure. As to Lady Macbeth, I have no means of knowing but in the character of Ophelia, now, I am quite certain she would bo charminc' Miss Heriicastln's steady hrud was lifiitig a glass of champagne. The sudden and great start she gave over- set the glass and spilled the wine. ' How awkward I am ' she said. ' Thanks, my lord don't trouble yourself; my dress has escaped.' Captain O'Donnell's remark passed unanswered, and Miss Herncastle took cur3 not to meet those steel-blue eyes again. It was rather remarkable that Sir Artbar Tregenua, nsually the most ab- stemious of men, drank much more wine than any one there had ever seen hun driuk I efore. They adjourned to the drawing- room, whence sound of mnsic already came wsfted through the open window, but in the drawing room they found Miss Herncastle alone. The soft, silvery beauty of the twilight bad tempted the rest out on the lawn. Lady Cecil sat in her rostic chair, humming an opera air, and watching with pensive, dreamy eyes tbe moon liit its silver sickle over the far-off bills. And Lady Dangerfieid and Rose O'Donneil sat chatting of feminine fashions and the last sweet thing in bonnets. The gentlemen joined them with tbe exception of tbe Cornish baronet. Mosic was his passion, and then Miss Hemcastlo had looked up with a tell- ing glance and smile, and some slight remark as he went by â€" slight, but sufficient to draw bim to her side, and bold bim there. Major Frankland joined Sur Peter's wife, bir Peter went in search of glow-worms. Cap- tiin O'Donneil flung his six feet of manhood on the velvet sward at the feet of the earl's daughter.

Miss O'Donneil f lded up her letter and walked away. Lady Cecil looked inquiringly at her companion. 'Marie ' she said.

That staMy stature, that poise of tha head aud shnulder*, sorely all were familiar. What mystery was here Still she wcut on â€" still tbe wnseeB pursacr followed. The nocturnal visl. tor opened the gnia wixtdon gate of Bracken UuUow with ak^y she carried, relocked it, and t':t tlie first time pan!»- ed to look bank. She saw o3 one â€" tlie trees, and the shad(!S, and tiia dis- tance hid the pursuer; only tlie silvef shine of the sUirs and tlie moon, the boundless blue s"y, the spreaJiu green of earth, and the soft uiulit whis- pering over alt. She turned from the gate, hurried up the grass giown path, and vanished iu the inky gloom of the porch. Redmond O'Djnnell emerged fiom the shadow of the trees, and aipmaob- ed the gruesome dweliiug. He paus- ed at the wooden gate, which barred hi* further advance, and gazed up at tli« black forbidding front. In his r.^mbles over the ueighborho.x1 he had never come upon this out-of-the-way place. it lay iu a siot so remote, so uiifre* qnCnted. that few ever did come upoii It by chance. And those who knew it gave it a wide berth, for it bore tlio ghastly reputation of a haunted house. A lon^, wailing cry eamc suddeiil/ aud hideously from the upper part of the house. lie started. Ko blood- curdling, so unexpect^-d was :t, that for one moment his heart gave a great b lund. It was followed by .another, win, aconized â€" tlie dead sik-iicc toll. What ought he to do While he stood there irresolute, the porch door opened, and the mysterious lady ho had followed appeared. A second fi;iure. the bput figure of a very old woman came after.

She ran down the steps, walked with her firm, resolute, roarluss tiead, down the path, and, as before, lingered a s.'cond or two at the gate. The old woman had gone back to the" house, aud the tall dark figure under the firs she did not sea. Sho drew out her watch and look at it by the light of the rao ni. 'Half past one ' she m'lnnnrel.
