So Alan Pendletou climbed up
the rocks, and picked op the solitary
dais; that grew in a crevice, as if
it bad blown up there li""i the
fields far down the stream.
Kthel Vane and Mr. PendletOD
had wandered from the scene ol :i

this cascade, had stepped from

or quietly dozing, loo indolent even
to tlirt.
Ethel seated herself on this rock,
ami. seeing the little daisy, made
the above request.
■• Ah, you pretty little thing!—
It is a pity to pull you to pieces,"
she said, as, alter slipping ami
scrambling over the rocks to K1'1 it,
Alan banded it to her.
" Oh ! you are afraid to try your
fortune on my naming; hence this
poetic pity for the flower. Bat you
must, lor jon promised."
A keen observer would have
noticed a little nervousuessin Alan's
manner as she said this. Ethel
was not a keen observer, and con-
•eqnentiy was completely taken by
surprise at bis increasing earnest-lies.;,
as she asked, " Well, then,
n iiat is the name !"
'• I'll tell you the name when all
the petals are goue expeel two."
•• A little—much—passionately—-
not at all.
"A little—much—"
in see their intense interest as
Ethel palled offa petal, and dropped
it into her lap with each word, one
would have thought tbat the tate
of nations depended on that result.
" Much. Now there are only two
left, tell me the name.''
"The name is Alan Peudleton !'
returned the young man.
Ethel blushed crimson, and in
her embarrassment dropped the
flower.
" rassionately ! Ethel, the flower
is right. I do love you passionate-ly
; and I have longed lor an op-portunity
of telling you so, but the
cool indifference with which you al-ways
meet my advances lias keptme
from doing it before Tell me that
you are not indifferent to me, and
that you will try to love me a little!"
'• How did you two yet there, and
how are you going to get back, 1
should like to know f called a voice
from Ihe opposite bank : and much
to Ethel's relief, and Alan's disgust,
they saw a party of three or four
young ladies and gentlemen ap-proaching.
Although Alan's words hail given
her a thrill of delight, Ethel was
not sorry to be kept iron) answer
ing him just then ; it was all so un-expected.
"You look as if you were enact-ing
the part of " a nymph, a naiad,
or a grace; it is hard to decide
which. Nature has arranged that
back ground of ferns more artistical
than a committee of artists could
have done it. Would you, for the
sake of divine art, keep still for ten
minutes, while I sketch you "." said
one oftbe parly of invaders,drawing
from his pocket a little sketching
book, and seating himself on a rock
just across the narrow stream.
Alan, seeing that any further
conversation ol a confidential nature
was impo.ssible,muttercd, under his
breath, '• Confound his impudence !"
and seating himself at Ethel's feet,
said, " II you sketch her. you shall
pal me in the picture, too."
" Well the picture needs some
shade," was reply : "so keep still."
Before the sketcli was finished,
the summons to muster and start
for home was sounded by a bugle
according to agreement) and pour
Alan could not get even a shadow
Of a UU-a-Mi With Ethel. He felt
confident that Ethel would arrange
matters so that she could ride home
in bisphaston, instead of with hei
cousin, Hick Kendall, with whom
she had come to Ihe picnic; so he
whispered to her bis conviction that,
under the circumstances, it was her
duty to go wilh him. Bat, no!
just as he was bringing up bit)
pbii'ton, he saw her drive off behind
Dick Kendall's black ponies, seem-ingly
as gay as a laik.
-The heartless llin !" said he to
himself. " These cousins are dan-gerous
fellows, and everybody
knows Dick has been in love with
Ethel for years. I don't believe she
cares a penny forme. If she sets
the example for flirting iu this way,
I have a good mind to pretend that
I was only joking just now."
So poor Alan drove home in the
depths of woe. for he w as much in
love with Ethel.
If be had only known the cause
of Ethel's gayety, he would hardly
have been so miserable. The (act
was,she was strangely timid in love
matters, and it was quite enough
for her to know that Alan loved
her, that made her entirely happy.
The morning after the picnic,
Ethel arrayed herself in her most
becoming morning toilet, and tried

To be threshed in a barn,

As a blight and a curse,
When run through a still.
Make me up into loaves.
And your children are fed:

I starve them instead.
In bread I'm a servant,

a great deal of pleasure, as
she performed her toilet. If she

that evidence is. It there has ever

It has been charged indeed that

General Canby made Mr. ilolden
Governor of North Carolina. If be
could do this why then should he
not impose upon North Carolina a
Constitution ? Indeed did he not
do this very tiling ? What are the
facts about this Constitution and
the Convention that framed it!
The vote for delegates was taken

declared by order of Canby. The
Convention met by order of Canby.

taken by order of Canby, and its
result declared by order of Canby.
It was Canby all the way through
from the beginning to the end.

One Secret of a Happy Home.
We were iu company the other
day with a gentleman, apparently
fifty or sixty years of age, who
used, in substance, the following
language:
Were I to live my life over again,
I should make it a point to do a
kindness to a fellow being when,
1 had the opportunity. I regret
very much that my habit lias been
so different, and that I have in-duced
feelings so unlike those
which would lead to such a course
of life.
It has been too much my way to
let others take care of themselves,
while I take care of myself. If
some little trespass was committed
on my rights, or if I suffered some
shgiu inconvenience from the
thoughtlessness or selfishness of
others, I was greatly annoyed, and
sometimes used harsh, reproach
ful language towards the offender.
I am now satisfied thai mv own
happiness was givatK impaired by
this course, and that m.\ conducf
and example contributed to the ii
liiation ami happiness of others.

looked as though it oughl not to bo

And when I look back upon my

the way along, I can confidently
say. that I never did a kindness to
any human being without being
happier for it So that, if I was
