On every side were evidences that spring was taking pos- session of the land. In the hollows of the meadow at her feet were glassy pools, kept from sinking away by a substratum of frost, and among these migratory robin: and high holders were feeding. The brook be} ond was run ning full trom the melting of the snow in the mountains, and its hoarse mur- mur was the bass in the musical babble and tinkle of smaller rills hastening to- ward it on either side. Thus in all directions the scene was lighted up with the glint andv sparkle of water. The rays ot the sun idealized even -the muddy roads, of which a` glimpse was taught, for the pasty clay glistened like the surface of a stream. The returning birds appeared as jubilant `over the day as the children_ whose voices blended with their so_ngs-asfdo all the sounds that are absolutely natural. Bird calls resounded everywhere; there was a con- stant utter of wings, as if all were bent upon making or renewing ac- quaintance-an occupation frequently interrupted by transports of song. `mm -vl\In lII!D\I\l\lIl\ Lhnguu ..`A`I- _--An- trans 52 51 p P03 PI|CE25l3EIT8.

And yet she was pleased much as a child would be. He knows so much more than I do," she thought, and is usually so wrapped up in some deep subject, or so busy, that it's awfully jolly to nd that one can ybeguile him into having such a good time. Burt is so exuberant in every- thing that I am afraid of being carried away, as by a swift stream,` I know not where. I feel like checking and re- straining him all the time. For me to add my small stock of mirth to his im- mense Spirits would be like lighting a candle on a day like this ; but when I smile on Webb the .e'ect is wonderful, and I can never get over my pleased surprise at the lot.

Amy's developing beauty , was far removed and . large `true "eyes that sometimesl from a xed type of prettiness, and he felt this in _a.v_ague. way. , The majority of` the girls of his acquaintance appear- ed much the _ same under all circum- stances. They had 'a manner rather than an individuality, and looked and acted much the same whenever he saw them. They were conventionalized after some received country type, and although farmers daughters, they seem- ed unnatural to this lover of nature. Allowing for the di`c-rence of years, Amy was as unconscious of herself as Anf or. Johnnie. Not the slightest trace of mannerism perverted her girl- ishways. She moved, talked. and act- * ed with no more effort or thought of effort than had the bluebirds that were passing to and fro with their simple notes and graceful ight. She was nature in its 5-haseaot girlhood. To one of his `temperament and training the perfect day itself would have been full of unalloyed "enjoyment wereit oc- cupied with his ordinary labors; but for some teas n this-unpremeditated holiday, wi h" Amy's fcompanionship, gave him a pleasure before unknown--. a pleasure deep and satisfying, unmar- red byany jarring discords or uneasy protests. of conscience or reason. Truly, on this spring day a first time came, to him, a new element was entering into, his life. He `did not think of dening it ; he did not even recognize it, except inlthe old and general way that Ainy s presence had enriched them all, and in his own case had arrested a tendency to become materialistic and narrow. On a like day the year before he would have been absorbed in the occupations of the farm, and merely conscious to` a certain extent of the sky above him an the bird song and beauty around him. Today they were like revelations. Even a March world was transgured. His zest in living and working was en hanced athousandfold, because life and work were illuminedr by happiness,- as the scene was brightened by sunshine.` He felt that he had only half seen the world before ; now he had the joy of one gradually gaining vision after partial blindness.

Amy longed for a stroll, but even with the V protection of rubber boots she found that the departing frost had left the sodded meadow too_ wet and spongy for safety. Under Webb's dir- ection she picked her way to the mar- ginof _ the swollen stream, and gathered some pussy willows that were bursting their sheaths. _ ` - i WIQ.5VVU\I U` C LIVUIV IIUJLIIJJO ` ' -What appetites they allvhadl If some of ' the potatoes? were 9. `little burned and others a little raw, the occasion added a. avor better than Attic sait. A flock of chickadees ap- proached near enough to gather the crumbs that were thrown to them. . But there was one who heard them" who didnot laugh. From the brow of the hills. dark, sad face looked down upon them Lured by the beauty of the day, Mr. Alvord had wandered aimlessly into the woods, and,` attract- edby merry vices, had drawn sul- siently `near to witness a scene that awakeuediai hin him indescribable pain and longing. He did not think of join- ing them. It was not a fear that he would be unwelcomed that kept him away ; he knew the family too well to imagine that. A stronger restraint was upon him. Something in the past darkened even that bright day, and built in the crystal air .a barrier that he could not pass. They would give him a place by their rustic board, but he could not take it. He knew that he would be a discord in their harmony, and their innocent merriment smote his rbid nature with almost intolerable pain. With a gesture indicating im- measurable regret, he turned and hast- ened away to his lonely home. As he mounted his little piazza his steps were arrested. The exposed end of a post that supported the inner side of its roof formed a little sheltered `platform on which a pair of bluebirds had begun to build their nest. They looked at him with curious eyes as they itted to and fro in a tree near, and he sat down and looked at them. The birds evidently were in doubt and in ' a per- turbed consultation- They would fly to the post, then away and all around the house. but scarcely a moment pass- `ed that Mr. Alvord did not see that he was observed and discussed. With a singular interesj and deep suspense he awaited their decision. At last it came, and he was favorable. 'l`he fe- male bird came ying to the post with a beakful of ne dry grass, and her mate, on a spray near, broke out into his soft rapturous song. The master of a house gave a great sigh of relief. A glimmer of a smile passed over his wan face as he muttered, I expected Vtobe alone this summer, but I am to have a family with me,.after all. nun:-as-qua vn-Inv v_vDV vnosvvv -:v --..v_. . -`ms strange, ._said Webb. how tame` the birds are when they return 1n . the spring.
