His brecclies had suffered a breaclr,

From the Olive Branch
TI-IE DEAF I’IIDDLEIl~..
BY C\'I'IIERINE \\’. IIAR.Bl'JR.
The summer, and autumn months glided
away, and nothing more was seen or heard
by the quiet inmates of the farn'i..-house, of
tlgp,(l(%i1I’tlICl'CI121lII. Indeed the cii'cuinstanc‘e
of his call was nearly forgotten by them all,
unless it was the sclruol-mttélfft‘. He never
said anything ulJ0_l1l him, but ll W35 e\'l‘l‘-‘U1
thatlie knew niore than he chose to reveal.
The strirger with black eyes and hair, still
continued to attend church evei'_v Sunday,
and attracted no sliglit share of E_llen’s at-
tention.- At length she learned from her
cousin I-Iai-ry Smith, that the gentleman,s
name was Archibald Dougl-as—lhal he was
the son ofa rich lawyer, who had recelly
purchased a country seat. in the vicinity, and
that the gcntlernan himself was a distinguish-
ed attorney.
‘ Brit take care of your heart, cousin Nell,’
continued the school-master playfully, ‘for
young squire Douglas is somewhat aristo-
cratic in his notions, I’ve. been told. I don’t
expect the young sprig of legal wit, would
har(lly condesccnd to speak to old farmer
Davis’ pretty daughter, and her homelv,
long-nosed cousin, the school-master. A
mi,<_>;hty smart feeling youngster, lookingput
for a wife, would hardly take a peep Into
the dairy after her, I guess, ha! ha ha! But
marry me, Nell, you'll never do better.’
‘ Marry you, coz! I wouldn’t have you
for your weight in gold providing you was
ifthat is his cut-ont—-despise a farmer P-
Psliaw! he don’t linow much! I do hate
this arisl0ci‘atic feeling— from the bottom of
inynsoul I /rate it. I’ll marry a peddler it I
take a notion to, mother’s opinion of them
notwirlistanding. It ism’! the occupation
wliich ennobles a man, it is the man which
eonoblcs the occupation. You needift pre-
pare to tease me now. I don’t care anything
about squire Douglas—I wouldn’t have him
if he wanted me.’
This reply ofE'iIen’s was spoken in a half
playful irianner, but there was nevertheless
tin earnestness about ii,whicb made tbeiyonng
‘scliool-uiaster’s eye twinkle, and a smile
showed itself at the corners of his mouth, as
he ."0plicd. - '
‘A very humble little cousin ’pon my
honor. IsIiouldn't wonder-if she should
fall in love with, and marry deaf Billy Gos-
li_n yet——-the son ofTommy Goslin of Gos-
lltll.'=0l'0l.lgll, whose fullltil‘ was deaf, and a
great uncle also.’ -
Ellen laughed in spite of herself at this
allusion, and 5.3.l_(l,
‘-Be a.-;sui'ed,cousin Harry, if] should fall
in love with liim,anil he with mc,I shouldn’t
SIUP [0 F6m€u_tbei‘ that be was a peddlcr, and
that his father was deaf. N0 indeed, not I.’
She stepped down from the porch where
she was starrdliig, r\ hilt! she made this reply
to observelliedying stalk of a flower, and
her cousin with a regular I] laugh and,‘ psliuw

One cold, bleak day in December, farmer

school fox-the winter, and had not yet I‘CIlll'-
ned. .Icinniy was at school, too, and there
was no one iii the room with Mr Davis, but
his wife who was knitting in one corner.
‘ It one of the coldest days I ever saw,’
said the farmer, looking up from his papers,
and rising to tlirow a stick of wood on_ lhl}
rlorrring fire-dogs. ‘I shonldn’t \\‘(m(I(;r if
somebody was to perish with the cold to day
I wish Ilarry would let the children out

towards the frosty window, and Ir.-0ke(l out
‘ fol‘ it will be hard for Ellen to walk from
the school-liouse here I_fI‘_I‘r.l'|’y wasn’t boar-
ding here, and can help her along, I shoal-.l
have a mind tackle old White Frisk into the
sle-i,;:l'i and go after her. But who is that
coming through the gate ? A peddlcr,
live !’
‘ A perlrlle-‘r.’ cried I\"Irs Davis, rising to
look. ‘ Those fr-.l;ows do love to make mon-
ey,or they would not be wandering about
such weather. That r.lr.rzfpeddlcr upon my
word.’ ' '
Just then old Ruler hogan his salute, but
the travr-lling iiiercli-ant did not seem to pay
much attr.-iinon to him, while he stampi:-rl off
the snow from his feet, and entered the sitting-
r'oom. The kind hatred old faanicr shook
him by the hand,and inotLoneil for him to be
seated in his chair before the fire, while Mrs
Davis \\'fItl to bring another‘.
‘Very cold, sir, very cold 1’ said the ped-
dlcr, as he drew the niittr-us from his sliriv-
cllcd blue liands, and hold them toward.» the
cheerful blaze—cne of the coldest days I ev-
er knew.’
M rs. Davis started at the voice, for she did
not recogriize it. It was a Clear)‘ sonorous
voice, unlike the scpieiilging tones of the deaf
man, and her first thought was she ini_gl‘iL be
miszalccn. She lot.-ked, and even attire se-
cond glance lrcsiratccl. The strange-r’s coun-
tenance waslainiliar—his glasses were the
same, but his whiskers although as large
were better proporlionetl, and his raiment
fitted him neatly and seemed proper and coin-
foilable for the season. She concluded that
it could be none other than Billy Goslin and
in this opinion she was coiifipried by the
sniallcar trumpet, which he took ft‘Ott1 his
pocketand applied to his ear when the far-
mer answei'er'l. To her utter amazement
however, the geirilciiien understood \v;il1 ap-
parent. case every-tiring that her liusbzrnd said
and liisanswei‘ was perfectly proper.
"rle has certainly im proved in hearin
said to herself, ‘or else it is because Mr. Da-
vis’ voice is so heavy. He has improved_
cvc-ry wa y. i
‘It is cold,’ said the peddler, ‘very cold,
and I thouglitasi was wenrling my way
among the hills to-day, that I should not
venture out again, until the weather is war-
mer——tb-at isif l CoUl(l:g,(:l. to a house where
any one could keep me. You seem very
snugly situated here,and perhaps Ican tbro’
myself for a few days upon your hospitali-
ty.’ ' ’
Cer'taiiily,’said the f.ll‘I1l(3l', ‘ we never turn
any one away, and if you can put up with
a farmers It0IlIkI_\’ fart’, you shalt be perfect-
ly welconie. Will you take some cider,sir .9’
The pgddler drank and the farmer drank,
and their restored the mug to its place in the
comer. I\'It‘s. Davis arose to go iothc kitch-
cn to prepare supper, and the school child-
ren‘s voices were heard in the porch. The
school master opened the (loot for Ellen W110
came forward a step or two, and then seeing
the peddler, she stopped with Surprise and
coui-tesieil. The stranger received her salu-
ration with a polrt,e,,jnclir.ation of the head,
and rose to shake the school niastci"s hand
while the farmer introduced him. Ellen
who had stepped to the tire to warm her
freezing fingers, could not but blush as shfl
caught the school inaster’s rognish eye, and
she almost immediately went in search of
her mother in the kitchen.
‘ Morhcr,_rs that deaf Billy Goslin the ped-
dler P’ she said as she entered the room where
the old lady was busily frying cakes for sup-
per. ‘ He looks like him,ani'i:he d011,‘ 1001‘
like him.’

‘ Yes, it is the same man, buthe is dres-
sed differ-ently and hears a great deal bettettl

to keep you at home to help me. That sau-
sage meat is spoiling a’i-early,’
Lllrn poured, for she did not much relish
leaving her class, but she sat about helping
her mother, and supper was soon smokmor
upon the table. While farmer Davis war’;
rcvereotly asking a blessing, and the men).
bers of the family stood with bowed heads,
each behind his chair,Ellen glanced up at
tlie perldler’s head, which was uncovered,
and she was surprisecl to see that his hair was
ofa shining black, and was beautifully worn
in curls. ‘It was that ridiculous hat, that
made his head look so. ridiculous before,’ she
th0ugh~‘.. Little Jcmmycast glances of no
good will at the guest, during supper, for be
had not by any means forgotten his stupidity
in the lane, and he whispered to’ Ellen
who sat next to him, that he wondered if
he left the old man Tornmy Goslin of
Gioslinborougli well. The school inastei‘
who sat opposite, heard the remark and
looked up with a.sly wink, while Mrs.
Davis shook her head from her place at the
head of the tuble. ’ ,, ‘ i '
lnimediatcly after supper, the school mas.
ter entered into con_ver'sation with the stran-
ger upon the state of the roads, travelling
&c., and Ellcn was again surpri.<.ed, at the
correctiress of his answ er-s——ihe swec‘ir.ess
of his voice, and the intelligence that be
displayed. . The farmer listenel intently all
the evening to their conversation, hardly put-
ring in a word, and after the peddlerhad bid-
den the family good night and retired, he
could not fob-car remarking to ‘ I\'Iamm_y’
and Ellen, that they ought to treat that man
well, and see if thcy could not make amends
tor the wrong they had evidently done him,
‘ I do declare,’ said Mrs Davis, ‘ he does
not appear‘ like the same man, and yet 1
know that it is—I never will judge by first
appear‘-arices ajqaiii.’
‘ Nor I,’ said Ellen. ‘VVe did
hiin.’
‘ I-Iein ! said the school master, ‘ pedrllers
are never any too resp(‘ctable,I think.’
’.I,.?Uti(llCl'S inay be as res,-rr.'(*tablc as any

iny came to him for asst;-!.aircc, and he found
no trouble at all in ziiaking liiir. liear.—-
Once while at work rigging up an old pair
of skates, his spectales fell off ,and Ellen
thought it was a sin to cover up such large,
\VIOI1g
bright brilientc-yes by such :1 pair of glass-
Cs. But the pddler very quietly replaced
hem, and went on with his work. Some-
times he would entertain the f-.>.mily with
accounts of tliings whit h be had seen in his

l‘L't1IL'mIJ0l‘€Ll how briliiant it was, and turn-

used to the voices, lie resorted less and less
to his trumpet for assistance, until it was not
unusual for I.‘IaT|'y to converse with him, for
l'i~.rlt' hours tog,c'tti<.=r', with the Same ease and
fr-trnk Lll'0II€;'l't-‘_y‘, wliicli cliaractcrizcd his in-

er found him L’»X(.‘tIl{3fll.CL)!l1pi1fIy during the
day. I-Io would go out with him, among his
stock in the farm yard, and he seemed wt,-ll
inf-orined in every branch of ‘dgt‘lcL1Itl1re
from the importation of stock, to the liocing
of potatoes. _IIe would in the house, hold
ski;-ins of yarn for IV] is. Davis to wind, and
his pr-dillrrig trunks furnished an inexhausti-
ble supply of all those little articles, which
she was always a tit.-t=.ding,pins,r'iccdles,thrcad
SL0. Indeed he gave them away so freely
that it sometimes seemed, as if he placed no
value upon tlieni. But the warm days of
April cainc at last, and there was no longer
any (:‘XCU.:e for his remaioirig. The snow
had nielterl from the hills, and the flowersin
the yard were peeping up through the soft
dirt. .
‘And so you are really going to morrow,’
said I-Iairy as he came up where the peddler
was standing beside Ellen in the porch, one
moon-light ni_c_:ht, looking at the first appear-
ance of a vine; ‘ farmer Davis says you
are really going. The old gentleman does
not relish the idea. of IOSlt1_i_J__’ your company

forth his hand, which the peddler heartily
shook.
‘Good bye to _you,cousin Nell,fo1' Ishould
not be at all surprised to find you missing in
theriiornmg too. I-Icre’s health and a heap
of happiness to you,’ said the roguish chap,
as he bowed and flourislred htmS€lf0fl Of’-he
steps, and then slartriig upon a run, he W113
soon out of sight.
‘lvhat a riiltl

vexed at her cousin for his ill timed raillery.
‘I believe he would _]ol{e if he was starting
for '1‘exas, and knew he never should come
back. I suppose he thinks you will Call On
us again, though you are going to leave us to

morrow.’

The peddler mused a few moments with.
out making any reply, at length‘ he said
‘I may call here again, I may not.’ ’
Ellen started at the last part of the sentence
and looked earnestly up into his face. If
seemed to her that the blood was receding
from her heart at. the words. She ‘hastily
t,urnsd away her eyes however, as she dis;
covered that be was looking at her, and lean-
ing her head over the bannister, seemed in.

She remembered what her cousin had said

. an mg on that same spot, and she wonder-
ed at the Change that had come over the Spir.

every allusion to the deafpcddler arfd tho?‘
him one of the most ridiculous beiinos in the
world——now he stood beside her, 2nd hen

the thoughts of a separation from him. ,To
her he was not the same being——there was a

‘ It is enough ! I am happy. You love

now look and see who you love.’ As he
spoke be tossed from him his spectacles and
false wliiskers—-in a moment she recognized
him, and fairly shrieked with surprise, the’
wealthy lawyer Douglas stood before her,
‘And why,’ said farmer Davis who had
come out with his wife on to the porch at
Ellcns voice, and had been at last made to
comprehend the transformation in his guest,
‘why have youfoolcd us all and wooed my
daughter under such a ridiculous disguise as
this, Squire '3' '
‘ Because I wished to make her love me
for myself alcne. As long as I wrote my
name Frederick Archibald Douglas E:-q.,and
was the reputed heir of nearly half a mill-
ion, it was very casyto gain the regards of
almost any lady of fashion. Brit that did not
satisfy me. I wished to be loved as I knew

linart, soul and bi=in,g'—loved in spite of bod-
ily II'llIl‘II]IIl3S, whether feigned or real, and
now that I am thus loved by your beautiful
daughter I am satisfied. You would not
have refused her to a deaf peddler —yOu will
not r'efu_se her to me.’
‘I have a great mind to,’ said the old farm-
er, ‘you ought to be punished some way for
playing us such atrick. But I suppose I
shall have to do pretty much as the gal says.-
She always did role. What say you, Mam-

Mrs. Davis had not yet got over looking
puzzled, but she instantly gave her full con}

‘Tell me, has cousin Henry Smith been
knowing to all this, or is he too a duped

‘He has helped me arrange the whole af-
fair,’ said lawyer Douglas. ‘Indeed, he is.
at the bottom of the whole of it. It '.'as
l.I1t'ODgI1 his rerornmendations of you, that I
was first induced to come into this part of the

gla_,re of wealth, unsedused by the false no-
tions ofan aristooratic nobility—those who
vew wealth as all important—-worth as its

‘Oh cousin Nell, you will never be any-
body, while you stand there so cousinly
with a deaf peddler. I do wonder at you I’
said the school-master, who, for some cause
or other, had concluded to spend the might

that moment around a corner of the porch.
‘I don’t think any peddler is very respec-

deaf, and his great uncle also.’
‘I don’t think you are vary rospectable!’
