tin function of nutrition by convert-
ing the starch contained within iheAa
ito sugar. At last, emerging from
te ami. they appear a* two opposite
roundish, leaves, which are capable of
absorbing oxygen from the air, and
*-=— carbon within the tissues which
are then in process of formation. As
soon as the current of sap haa been
set in motion by the action of the
aeed vessels, these latter disappear,
and the young stem continues to
elongate rapidly, until it arrives at
the point where ita first leaf ia to issue,
and there formsaknotor joint, which
is technically called a node. The
growth is not arrested by this devel-
opment of a node and leaf, but pro-
ceeds for a certain period, until an-
other node and leaf are produced, and
so on, until the period of growth lias
passed away. We have then a aeries
of nodes and spaces between them,
which spaces are called intemodm. A
stem may thus be said to consist of a
number of nodes, with their intemodes.
It is very important to notice the
direction taken by the stem. It ia
usually ^prect, sometimes remarkably
so, as im^he Italian poplar, but hi
small plants it often lies prostrate, or
nearly so, aad it is then called j ro-
emmbeni. When a procumbent stem
takes root at ejfiry joint, and sets
up outposts, as for ^example the
strawberry, it is called ereepmg. The
stems of the honeysuckle, the hop,
the scarlet bean, and many others,
being too weak to stand upright,
lift themselves toward the sun bj
twining round and round then
stronger neighbors, or whatever slen-
der column may be nearest, some
kinds turning to the right and othera
to the left. The nasturtium Vir-

in the stems of. grasses and those of

which live only for a few months,
say from spring to autumn, and are
then cut down by the frost, or die of
exhaustion, are called annuals; those
which live, as regards their roots, for
portion* of two yearn, are called bi-
ennials ; and those which live for a
long series of years, their roots re-
taining vitality, whether the stem die
down in the winter or not, are called
perennials. The turnip is a biennial:

, Chapter I.
The lingering rays of a mellow
spring day were gleaming'upon the
hill tops and gil'ling the forest with
radiant lov.'U.i.Md, .a two fairy, young
ieatures,trip|ied, fawn-like, across the
oping lawn that lay behind their fath-
er's mansion. En teringthe little grove
that skirted the dense forest beyond,
they seated themselves on a gnarled
oak which had been there from their
earliest recollection. Time, in ita
steady tread, had brought its changea,
lopping the giant branches from ita
mossy trunk, aa one by one, he had
robbed the sisters of their early de-
lights and childhood sports.
Anna Chambers, the elder and
homelier of the two, fluahed with'a
tinge of apparent health, and evident
unusual endtoment, drew anxiously
and tremblingly from the folds of bar
plain, snowy muslin, a missive o4 ae
ordinary bearing on her heart's meat

fell to the eartbbut it awakened in
her heart a corresponding emblem of
human frailty; .the sunshine that
played gaily with shadows on the hill-
aides, waa to her the embodiment of
all the fickleness and foily of this
changeful world. The very affluence
that overspread the path in which her
gentle feet had trod, from the earliest
moment of her existence, was to her
a mockery—a type of man's insatiable
vanity and unholy ambition. Sweet,
lovely Anna knew but one green spot,
one oasis in the sterile desert of hu-
man life. Anna bad been growing
moie and more fragile, and her cheeks
almost colorless ; yet none knew the
worm that was gnawing at her heart
but her much beloved sister Charlotte,
who, though as different as possible
from our heroine, was the true, con-
fiding, sympathizing companion of un-
happy Anna. Hear her with all the
impetuosity and devoted affection ot
a tender sister, as she suggests my poor
dear Anna, your hand trembles so, and
your eyes are now dim with tears.

Charlotte really remained too long ha
the fresh leafing mood and forgotten
to meet promptly her engagement
with her lover, it had been no more
unpardonable than for him to remain
too long at the wine cup or the
gaming table.
Bat Charlotte did not now think of
that, and merrily the evening repeat
was finished without even an allusion
to Anna—for it was no unusual occur-
rence for her to seclude herself on
such occasvaoc and plead indisposition
which was with her, but another
term for indifference to all external

reader can best judge with what

her supremely beautiful—yea, su-
