Lonemos at reasonable .‘ .;.hesitaticn, licited to patronize the new enterprise whiz”I These were my reflections as I looked over the papers of my late uncle, the rector of a Somersetshire flags. I liked the look of the book and, decided for the shelf; and I had my reward, for I - found in thecrabbed characters a simple sto- ry, “'13:?“ written towards the close of 'the wrr s c. This story I now trans- , cribe into-a modern style. , “ “He’ll be fit for nothing; said my father - an awkward boob who olds his awl and cuts his food with s left hand.” 80 said my father, and so, alas ! I felt. I was awkward. I‘was fifteen thick-set, strong, but terrible clumsy. .Icould not make a collar, nor sew a pair of blinke nor stuff a saddle, nor do anything that ought to be Able to do. Mlyn fingers *seemed 'to' ave nozmechauicaltee g in them. I > was awkward and I knewit, and all knew it. . Iwas good tempered; could write fairly and read anyathlng; but I was awkwa with my liin ; they seemed to have wills of their own; and yet Icould dance as ea- sily’and lightly as any of my neighbor’s so s n . ‘ '“I-don’t know what he’s fit for,” said my ‘ father to the rector ofthe parish. - “I’ve set him to carpentering, and he out his fingers .nearly ofl’ with an axe ; then he went to the smith, and burnt his hands till he was laid up for a month. It’s all 'of no, use; he spoils me more good leather in a week than his earnings pay forin a month. Why can- not he, like other Christians, use his hands as the good God meant him to? There 1 for the squire with his left him ” . I heard him; the knife slipped, and the long strip of leather was divided in a mo- ment and utterly spoiled. , “Th'erc now! look at that. A piece out of the very middle of the skin, and his fin- ger gashed into the bargain.” ‘ The rector endeavored to soothe my fath- er’s anger, while I bandaged my fin r. “You’d better let him come or that vase, Mr. Walters; I should like a case to fit it, for its very fragile, as all that old Ital- ian glass is; and line it with the softest leather, please.” ‘ And sol went with the rector to bring back the vase, taking two chamois leathers to bring it in. We reached the house and I waited in the p while he wentto fetch it. He came back with a large vase, tenderly wrapped in the leathers. Alas! At that moment there came from the room, against the door of which I was standing, the sound of a voice singing. A voice that thrilled me throufih—a voice I hear now as .I write these nes,—so clear, so pure, it was as if an angel had revealed. itself to me. I trembled, and for t the precious bur- den iumy hands - it ropped to the ground and was shattered to ieces. How shall I ‘descr be the rector’s rage ? I fear he said something for which he would have blushed in his calmer moments, and she came out. - She who had the angel-voice—his niece— came out, and I saw bur. I forgot the dis- nster, and stood speechlessly gazing at her ace. “You awkward scoundrel! look at your work. Thirty pounds! Filly pounds. An invaluable treasure gone irreparable in a moment. Why don t you speak? Why did you drop it t" ‘ _ “Drop ita” I said, waking up. “Drop what 7” An then it flashed upon me again, and I staminered out, “She sang!” - “And if she did sins, was there any occa- sion to dro my beaut ful vase, you double stupid bl sad? There, go out of the house, do, before you do. . any further mis- chief, and tell your iatherto horsewhip you for a stupid dolt.” pMy father heard of my misfortune, and laid the strap across my shoulders without , for in my young-days boys were ,boys till e ghteen or nineteen years. old. I ‘ bore it patiently, uncomplaingly. “What is he fit for 1'” every one would ask, and no one could answer, not even myself. ;'- I wandered about the rectory in the sum-.. mer evenings and heard her sing; I tried hard to get the old gardener to let me help him, , the watering-pots, and when I sue- ceeded, elf, as I entered the rector's garden, that I was enter-in a paradise. '0 happy months,_ when, the horrible labors of theweary day, I used to follow the old gar- dener ‘ and hear her sing. My old withered heartbeats fuller and freer when the mem- ory comes back to me now. Also! alas! my awkwardness again ban- ished me. , She met me one evening in the garden, as I was coming along the path with my cans full of water, and spoke to me, and said,— “Y‘In’u’re theboy thatbroke the vase, are‘nt on y I didnot, could not reply ; my strength 10er me. I dropped my cans on the ' onnd, where they upset and flooded away a a moment some seeds on which the rector set '1th especial store. _ “How awkward, to be sure !” she exclaim- ed. “And how angry uncle will be. ' Iturned and fled, and from that time the recto gate was closed against me. I l a miserably unhappy life for the three years; I had only one consolation during the whole of that wearv time. I saw her at church and heard her sing there. I could hear nothing else when she sang, clear and distinct, above the confused, nasal sounds that came from the voices of others-hers alone pure, sweet and cod. It was a blessed time. I would not miss a Sunday's service in church for all that might offer. Three good miles every Sunday there and back did I heavily plod to hear her, and feel well re- warded. I shared her joys and heaviness. I knew when she was happy, when oppress; as‘a mother knows the tones of her child’s voice, the minutest shade of difference, so I coarld tell when her heart was light and when so . One Sunday she sang as I had never yet heard her, not loudly, but so tenderly, so lovingly; I knew the change had come,—she loved; it thrilled in her voice; and at the evening eervive he was there. I saw him. A soldier, I knew by his bearing, with cruel, hard, gray eyes; andshe sang, knew it. I detected atremble and atitude in the notes. I felt she was to an er, as I had suffered ; not that I sang. Ihad no voice. A harsh, guttural sound was all I could give utterance to. I could whistle like a bird, and often have I lain for hours in the shade of a tree and joined the concerts of the woods. One day I was whistling. as was my won’t as I'vent through the street, when I was tap- ped on the shou der by an old man, the cob- bler of the next parish.

I wanted an instrument of my own, but I had no ,monc , and I earned none,-—I could earn uoue.‘ y parents thought, and perhaps rightly that if they found me food and elo- thing,I was well provided for, and so for some twelve months I used the old cobbler’s instrument, improving daily. It was strange forevery other impulse should, under the influence of sound, move with such precision ease, and exactness. . “Sammy boy,” said the cobbler, one day, you shall have an instrument, and your fa- ther shall buy it for you, or the whole par- ish shall cry shame upon him.” - “But he don’t know a word of this.” I said. “Never mind, Sam, my boy, he shall be glad to know of it” ; and he told me his plans. At certain times it was customary for the choirs of neighboring churChes to help each other, and itwas arranged that the choir of our parish should play and sing on the next Sunday morning at his parish church and “ nd you, Sam,” said he, “shall take my place in, your own church; and, please God, you do as well there as you’ve done here, it will be the proudest day I shall know, Sam, mytboy’, and your father and mother will say so, 00. . . HowIpracticed, morning, noon, and hi ht, for the great day; how the old man dar y hinted at a prodigy that was to be forthcom- in at the festival; and then the day itself, th its events,—all is as vivid before me as if it were but yesterday. The evening came ; and there, in the dim- ly-lit gallery, I sat waiting, with my master beside me. ' "Sam, my boy,” said my master, “It’s a great risk; it’s getting very full. Thereisithe eep your eyes on your book and feel what you’re playing, and think you’re in the little shop; ’ve brought abit of leather to help you,” and he put a piece of that black leather that has a peculiar acid scent in front of me. The scent of it revived me; the memory of the many hours I had spent there came back to me at once, and I felt as calm as if I were indeed there. She came at last, and service began“ O that night 1 Shall I ever forget its pleasures ? —the wondering looks of the friends and neighbors who came and found in me, the preutice, the prodigy of which they had heard rumors. 0 it was glorious ! The first few strokes of my bow gave me confi- dence, and I did well, and knew it, through the hymn; through the, chants, and on to the anthem before the sermon. That was to be. the gem of the evening; it was Handel’s then new anthem, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” - It began—harsh, inhermonious, out of tune —I know not why or how; but as it pro- greased, a spell seemed upon all but her and myself; one by one the instruments ceased and were silent; one by one the voices died away and were lost, and she and I alone, bound together and driven on by an irresisti- ble impu se, went through the anthem; one soul, one spirit seemed to animate both. The whole congregation listened breathless as to an angel ; and she, self-absorbed, and like one in a trance, sang, filling me with a deli- cious sense of peace and exultation, the like of which I have never known since. .- It came to an 'end at last, and with th .last triumphant note Ifell forward on the desk in a swoon. . _ _ When I recovered I found myself at home in my own room, with the rector, the doc- tor, and my parents there, and heard the doctor say,-—- “I told you he would, my dear madam ; I knew he would.” “Thank God l” murmured my mother. “My dear boy, how we have feared for you." What a difference! I was courted and made much of. “Genius l” and “Very clev- er I" and “Delightful talent l" instead of “stu- ‘pid l” “awkward i" and “unfit for anything I” My father bought me a fine instrument; and I was the hero of the villa e for months. It was some days after that Sunday that I ventured to ask about the rector’s niece. “My dear boy,” said my mother; “the like was never heard. We saw' you there and wondered what you were doing; but as soon as we saw you with the how, we knew you must .be the person there’d been so much talk about; and then, when the anthem came and we all left off singing and they all left off playing, and, only you and Miss Celia kept on, we Were all in tears. I saw even the rector crying ; and, poor girl she seemed as if in a dream, and so did you ; it was dreadful for me to see you wrth your eyes fixed on her, watching her so eagerly. And then to look at her, starring up at the stained glass window as if she could see through it, miles and miles away into the sky. 0, I’m sure, I screamed, and your father ran up and carried you down and brought you home in Farmer Slade’s four-wheeler.” After this I had an invitation to go up to the rectory, and while I played, she sang. 0 those happy times! when she loved me, but only as adear friend ; and I loved her as I never had loved before or could love again. I do not know the kind of love I had for her. I was but a little older than she was, but I felt as a father might feel to his daughter: -.a sweet tenderness and love that made me pitiful towards her. Ilknew she loved a man unworthy of. her, and I think, at times, she felt this herself, and knew Iielt it. ' I was perfectly free at the rector's house at last, and we used to, find in our music a means of converse that our tongues could never have known. Ah me,—!hose days ! Gone! Alas! they are gone. She left ’us'at last, and in a few years her motherless child came back in her place, and as again I sit in the old rectory parlor, years and years after my first visit, with her daugh- ter beside me singing,—but, alas! not with her mother’s voice,-—all the old memories flood back upon me, and I feel a grateful, calm joy in the open-shown respect and af- fection of the daughter of her whom I loved so silently, so tenderly, and so long. I sit in the old seat in the church now and play; once in the year the old anthem; but the voice is gone that filled the old churCh as with a glory that day. I feel, as the sounds swell out, and the strings vibrate un- der my withered fingers, I am but waiting to be near her under the old yew-tree out- side, and it may be, nearer to her still in the longed-for future. .<....
