The children have Just left the schbol house,
You can heartheir wild shouts on the air,
As, exultant. they shake out the knowledge
Cramm'ed in to their daily despair:
All save one little; chubbyecheekcd maiden,
Who sits with her face to the wall—
Doolued to taste, for her own misdemeanors,
The bitter effects of the fall.
The poor little martyr; so sorry
A picture there never was seen—
Her arms folded meekly—her sad eyes
Staring wistfully out On the green,
Where the sunbeams are chasing the shadows,
And all are so happy and gay,
Save one little suffering sinner,
That can’t gather chestnuts to-day.
At her desk site that egress—the teacher,
Caimly watching the hands of the clock,
‘ As though shy, too, is eating the apple
So bitterly sweet to her flock,
Not a muscie‘in all her faée quivers,
Not anerve dares be other than cool;
Faint and weary, she-must be consistent,
This pitiful victim of. role.
But pulls in the corner growslweary,
And r'estlesely turns on her chair.
To také a fly glance at the teacher;
What a comfort to know she is there!
“ I won’t cry to please her,” she matters.
“ The horrid old cross-patch! I know
She den’t like tostay a bit, either,
And as long is, I’m here, she can’t go."
“ 0, dear, I’m stlfl', and so tired
0f counting my fingers and thumbs! . .
Just because I threw beans at Tom Tyler,
And wouldn’tlearn to do sums.
I‘m sure I don’t care whether twenty
And thirty makes sixty, or three;
I’ll burn up those horrid old tables;
What good will they ever do me 7”
"I’m sure I've been here, now, three hours,
And there is never-a sign of a ‘ go ’;
I fairly believe I’ll be kept in
Till temtimel There’s one thing I know—
, If I ever grow up to be married,—
I 's'pose I must, ’cinse it is a rule—
And have little girls, like my mother.
They nevef shall go to a school.”
But in spite of her winking endeavors
To force back the tears, they will flow,
And this poor little hembroken maiden
Gives audible vent to her woe.
There is never in all her conception,
A burden so hard to be borne,
For she hears the wild glee in the meadow,
And she knows all the nuts will be gone.
But just as the clock struck the hour.
There came the sweet words of release,
And suddenly clears up the shower;
In one human breast there is peace,
In less time than this takes to tell it,
The bonnet is snatched from the nail,
And a rollicking. {rollicking damsel
Is filling with chestnuts her-pail.

A New Organ and What Cause or it.
P.
Enoch WeSton rebelled one Sabbath when
three keys of the Old melodeon refused to
answer his repeated thumps, and another
gave only a weary wheeze as if utterly dis-
couraged.
“ What will you do, Enoch?” uskedKa‘te
Bancroft, the ‘head treble,’ as she saw his
look of vexation.
“ I’ll have an organ, that’s what
I will.
- This old cracked concern is a disgrace to
our church, and I’ve done with it.” And
Enoch slammed the cover down with a force
that caused several mild Old ladies who
were gliding out with the congregation to,
cast reproachful faces gallery-ward. “But
' if we could get a new organ,we have no one
to play it—or should you attempt it i” asked
. Kate.
“ I? no indeed! but Miss Ellsworth—
Squire Bond’s niece, you know-is a splen-
did organist. I was in there the other eve-
.i’iing, and we talked the matter over a little,
so there’s no trouble on that point. I didn’t
expect to commence Operations quite so
soon but I’m so out of patience with this
rheumaticthing, that to-morrow morning I
am determined to start out with a subscrip-
tion paper. You will see that your father
is in good humor when I happen up there,
won’t you i”
“ I’ll do my best towards it,” said Kate,
with a smile that argued well for her success
in that direction. “Good‘aftcrnoon, Kate.”
“Good afternoon, Enoch,” and the .'two
friends separated at the church do - Enoch
to go to his village boarding place, nd Kale
to climb Butternut Hill, on whose summit
was her father’s farm. Sometimes after
evening meeting Kate had company home;
but, had ihe neighbors seen her with Ehoch
in “broad daylight,” they would have said
“sparking l” and it wasn’t so; no indeed!
Kate had denied it a hundred times.
Something equivalent to this she repeated
mentally,_as she turned homeward this Sab-
bath evening, for Kate felt very much dis-
turbed in her mind on account Offnoch’s
remark concerning Miss Ellsworth.
This Miss Ellsworth had been but a‘ short
time in Kellyvale, having cbme from New
York to spend the warm season with 'her
unclefis family; but not withstanding this,
she had already received the close and en-
vious scrutiny of the country girls. City
ladies are rarely seen in Kellyvale, isolated
as it is among the mountains,- and this nc-O
counts for the amount of attention that she
received ; but after ali,she would have been
noticed- anywhere she was so graceful, so
self-possessed and winning. Kate noticed
at‘ once that Miss Ellsworth knew how to
wear a shawl; while she—poor girl—always
suffered agonies' with hers, which would
never lay smoothly over her plump shoul-
I’ders. From the gallery she had watched
this favored young lady, as she sat, sweet
and cool as a water lily, in her uncle’s pew,
and wondered vaguely “ how she did if.” '
‘ Enoch probably watched her too, and of
course, this was file whole trouble; thOugh
Kate never would own it, even to herself.
Of course she was glad to have a new organ.
and that there was some one ready to act as
organist. She rather thought the “ Centre
folks” would not have quite as much to boast
of now; and it would be the most natural
thing in the world for Enoch to transfer his
attentions; yes, Kate was quite positive of
that ; but these were only surface thoughts
with which she was trying to cheat herself.
Lower down there flowed swift and earnest,
“ I've nothing that will begin to compare
with that white suit of hers. I wonder how
she manages to roll her hair so smoothly,
and would it look too much like imitation
if I should tuek'a little blue bow like hers-
into my front fl-izzles ?” But a little blue
how would be only a beginning; for there
were charms and bracelets, and a diamond
ring, and bits of lace and fluttering ends of
ribbon, and a faint, delicious perfbme, each
and all of which were incomprehensible and
unattainable. The cologne-that Kate used
was always blown out of her handkerchief
before she reached church, and-‘90 dear.
dear 1” she groaned,“ it’s of no use; I can’t
be anything but a country girl !” So Kate
Bancroft, with health, vigor and reserve
power enough to enable her to meet life’s
real bellies bravely, crept along towards
home feeling utterly cost down because she
could not hope to make herself over after
the bewilching pattern from the city.
Bright and early the next morning the
threatened subscription paper started on its
mission, producing an effect on the peaceful
citizens of Kellyvale equal to that of a small
earthquake. _ .
“A new organ! bless my soul 1” ejacu-
lated Deacon Porter, passing his hand rap-
idly Ovcr his bald head. “I tell you, Enoch,
we can’t. The minister’s salary and those
horse ‘sheds must be paid for, and—" but
Enoch cut that story short, and plead so
earnestly thutibe good Deacon yielded in
spite of himself
Miss Calisla Collins, who owned houses,
lands, and bank. stock, in her own right,
immediately declared that in‘ her: opinion
‘ not manifest it; but begged and flattered
’up the rising tones,_'and repeated them over
'that “ their son Enoch,” was the means of
“ organs are downright sinful! You’re u
goin’ to put a brazen god into the gallery.
Enoch, and you mark my word, something
will come of it. For real piety, give me the
old- tuning fork apd a rising congregation,
and put your money where it’ll do some-
body some good. I make it a point not to
do my aims before men.”
Miss Callsla gave missionary agents-the
same answer, and always chlarcd that she
never let her right hand know what her left
hand did. Some persons of the baser sort
had been heard to remark that Miss Calls-
fa’s right hand had never been cheated out
of much information on that account,but-
if Enoch thought of any such thing he did
with such provoking good nature, that the
spinster ‘gave him the amount called for,
“just to get rid of him,” she said.
There were seine pockefs'in Kellyvale
harder to open than the most miserly rock
that ever hugged the virgin gold ; but Enoch
was persevering, and his weapons better
tempered than any miner ever used, so that,
before the people had fairly recovered from
their first shock, the requisite sum was
pledged. and the “brazen god” ordered.
At length it was poised abroad—“ The
organ has come!" and then came the Sal»
bath on which if was first to be heard.—
Fortunatcly, it was pleasant—more lhan‘
that—it was a glorious day! Such a Sub-
bath as can be fillly appreciated only in the
country; where forests, hills andfields, all
bathed in sunshine, seem to feel that it is a
day of rest, where cattle quietly graze in
hillside pastures, and sheep shelter them-
selves under the shadow of rocks and trees,
and brooks tone down their noisy babbling
into sweet accompaniments to holy hymns.
No excuse for a “Sunday headache” on such
a day, and at an early hour, carriages began
to whirl along the dusty roads, little groups
of villagers came across the spacious com-
mon, and “ big brothers,” who always
walked “ across lots,” suddenly appeared on '
the old church steps.
Very soon a flood of music filled the air.
Church walls could not confine it, and it was
wafted up to the tower-'—where never bell
had hung—and cast a comforting spell
arOuiid if. A thousand air tonguescaught
and over until they overcame the newsand
gossip of the day, and sealed the lips of un-
scrupulous men. They even overtook a
couple of neglected children who were
stealing along beside a stone wall, with '
strawberry baskets in hand, hoping. to find
in somebody’s field the food they could not
get at home. With wide open eyes the chi!-
dred listened, and then with one outburst:
“ We mustn’t steal, Johnny,” they turned
and ran back again.
“ Old Dick,” the town pauper, as he shuf-
fled .up the aisle, hitting the Open pew doors
with his staff, in his awkward way, stopped
to listen; and as the light breeze lifted his
thin white hair his dim eyes filled with fears,
and he murmured : “ It comes right along—
comes right along, don’t it ?” Poor knocked
about, washed out Dick’s fast-falling tears,
as he blundered info the " pauper’s pew,”
were eloquent arguments in favor of the
new organ; ‘
And there was blind Aunt Molly, a bum-
ble saint, whose wants were supplied by the
church, and whose corner was never vacant;
she, too, ,knew how to appreciate music.
“ That must be next, to angels’ music !” she
said, as she clasped her hands in silent wor-
ship.
_ eacon Porter forgot his usual pomposity
as he tip-tooed to his “ upper seat,” and re-
marked blandly to Mr. Weston: “I think
our organ has an excellent tone! excellent
tone l” and Mr. Weston and his wife, who
sat keeping time to the music with .fingers
and feet, after the manner of singers, nodded
approvingly; not forgetting for a moment
getting that wonderful organ. And how
straight the singers stood that daymnd how_
Enoch roared out the tenor, how the'smali
boy sweat and beamed with pride, as be
bent all his energies to the task of “ blow-
ing,” and how good minister Wright
preached, to keep the good people’s eyes
from those glistening pipes, which, in ac-
cordance with the fashion of the church,
were behind him—all these things are writ-
ten in the annals Of Kellyvale, and in the
hearts Of the people. ' -
Alas! that this state of bliss could not
endure forever. There came a change, and
it was on this wise: Miss Ellsworth, being
a thoroughly educated musician, had been
severely “tried” by the style-of singing in
Kellyvale. At first she laughed when she
saw Enoch beating furious time, the choir
singing their loudest on “ Soft be the gently
breathing notes ;" but at length it become
really painful; so, one Sabbath, not long
after the arrival of the pew organ, she wrote
on a slip of paper . “ Won’t youplense sing
the next hymn softly for my sake? The
character of the words demand it, I think,
don't you i’” and threw it go Enoch. Kate
Bancroft, sitting in a favorable position saw
the note, Enoch’s smile and mod of-assenl
in return, and then it was passed down to
her. - ~
She read it, and it seemed for a moment
as 'if she must su‘ifocate; but without a.
word or look toward Enoch, she handed
the note along to Laura and Belle Allen.
Hannah Pipkin and Emma Weston, her
corps of assistants. ' ‘
“ They, shan’t have reason to complain of
my singing again,” said a hateful voice in _
Kate’s hearl, over and over again.
The sermon closed, the organ gave a soft"
soothing prelude and the choir rose to sing;
but it was soon evident that something was
wrong. The lips ' of the “ head treble”
moved, but no one could hear the music is-~
suing therefrom. Laura' Allen, frightened
at the sound of her own voice, nudged Kate,
and then stopped singing. Hannah Pipkin
leaned forward and whistler] her last falter-
ing line in Belle’s face, as she tried to solve
the mystery ; and Emma, young and bush-
m1, hid her face behind her book. While
the interlude was being played Hannah
gave Kate a poke with her fan, and told her
to ,sing l” Kate gave her head a stubborn
lillle shake. Honest Enoch “ Ahemed !”
warningly, and commenced the second verse
but not a soprano joined. Then when a
crisis seemed inevitable, Miss Ellsworth, in
sweet and unfaltering tones, struck in, and
sang the hymn through, with very faint as-
sistance thou the appalled girls in front. ,
Without a word to any one, Kate marched
down stairs as soon as the benediction was
pronounced, and away home as fast as her
indignant feet could carry her. As she
turned the corner. she looked back, and
there was Enoch judicoming down the steps
with Miss Ellstrlh, and Miss Ellsworth
wore that lovely white suit, and had a be-
witching little curl hangingovcr her fore-
head! ' ~ ,
» Poor Kate! she just groaned and walked
on very fast. But soon she heard the wheels

hind her', and her father Called out with real.
concbrn: “Why Kate, what in time ails ye?
Is it tooth ache or what? Here, jump in
beside your mother and I’ll walk the rest of
the way.”
In vain Kate declared nothing oiled her,
and she preferredto walk; the dear clumsy
old gentleman clambered over the front
wheel, helped her into his place and gave
her the reins. Her mother was kindly in-
quisitive as to the “ breal? down,” as she
.called it, but Kate would not explain; so
her two little brothers who sat in “ behind,”

cut with the whip that made her jump, and
almost sent the youthful Bancrofls in the
rear tumbling into _‘the dirt. But they only
grasped the sides of the wagon and littered
quietly ; for they were sagacious boys, and
knew that Kate was whipping somebody
else over Doll’s back. '
' The next morning, while Kate’s rosy arms
were plunged in soup suds, battling most
energetically with the family’s soiled linen,
Hannah Pipkin entered the open door.
“ There, now ‘2” she commenced, “ I couldn’t
wait another minute—don’t you slop work
—forI do want to know why you didn’t
sing yesterday i”
“ How did you like Miss Ellsworth’s note,
Hannah i” asked Kale, with independent
air.
“ Was that from her! 0-o-o-o l” and Miss
Pipkin’s eyes began to grow wide. “ Upon
my word I thought you or Enoch wrote it.
Do tell! I want to know if she felt called
upon to act as chorisfer ?” '
“ So it seems, and I’m not going to sing
there any more,” said Kate with a decided
little nod.
“ Kale Bancroft !” Hannah Pipkin stood
a full minute trying to comprehend the
meaning of this assertion, and then added
with determined flout: “ Well, then, I
shan’t !” ’
“ I don’t want to influence you, girls, one
bit,” said Kate, virtuously, “ but I feel that
under the circumstances I can’t go back.
Our organist seems to be capable of singing
and playing 'too; and I think she will suit
all round better than I can; so I don’t think
it right to stand in her way.”
“ Well, Kale, I feel terribly to hear you
talk so, but if you are in earnest, my way is
clear.”
“ Don’t mention anything that I’ve said,
will you, Hannah? I have no desire to
make a stir over if.” '
Miss Pipkin assured Kate that she necer
refailed news, and after it little more con-
versation she left. But as she passed Mr. A!-
len’s house she just ran in to see how the
girls were feeling. They had known the
source, of the note, and Miss Pipkiu’s infor-
mation only added fuel to the flame already
kindled by what they fancied was an insult
to their beloved Kate. They were warm-
.hearfed girls, without much independence,
and their motto was} ,“Kate, right or
wrong!” So it was soon decided that they
'wouldn’t sing any more.
All through the week Kale nursed her
wrath, while Enoch, two miles away, fell
nogunlisual calamity breeding in the air, but
worked and dreamed his dreams as usual,
Until another Sunday came, when be
dressed himself in his best suit, tucked a
rosebud in his buttonhole and a singing book
under his arm, and went to church. Hewas
a little late, and hurried up stairs and info
the gallery, but 10 and behold! there were
only his three bass singers visible, and they
sat in a row on the top stair like so man
disconcerfed crows. They grinned at Enoch ,
and John Bent whispered mysteriously:
.“ There ain’t a girl singer here! not one i”
“What! where are they ?” asked Enoch,
astonished beyond measure. ' - _
“ Down below, all but Miss Ellsworth and
yofil' sister. They’ve been here and gone
home again.” .
“ Thunder and lightning l” ejaculated
Enoch, as he slowly settled down upon a
lower slain. “ What does all this mean 1’”
“I’ve got hold of enough to make me
think it’s all come of that littleLuote that
Misngilsworiil gave you,” said Isaac Wal-
dron.
“ 0 pshaw! it can’t be that: But what-
ever if is it’s too late to coax them up this
morning; so we won’t sit here biting our
finger nails as if 'we were to blame, for we
can have congregational singing. Come on,
boys !” .
Kate lanced up demurely as the young
men en land, and her heart gave a painful
throbas she noted Enoch’s distressed look,
and saw the rose-in his buttonhole. He
used to bring her roses, and she wOndered
whether he had thought of her or Miss Ells-
worihas he plucked that one. The minis-
fer rose and read the first hymn, then sat
down and-waited for the mellow tones of the
organ; but instead he heard the twang of a
tuning fork, and Enoch began :_“ do-mc-sol-
do ;" the congregation rose slowly one by
one, as if held down by invisiblehands;
and every face asked “what does it all
mean?” Enoch and his companionshad the
first verse to themselves; but with the sec-
ond, old Mr. Weston came in like a thunder
gust; and with head thrown back, eyes half
closed, and 'foot measuring the time, he
showed them how he used to singin “ye
good old days ;” while Aunt N abby Damon,
a superannualed soprano; whose discards
had been“ sdppressed'” for years, felt 'lhat
this was also her time and privilege, and
took up the air with an energy that made
the little bow on the top of her bonnet
quiver and shiver in sympathy. Bufoito-
gctlier, the singing was not-a success; and
.Enoch wiped the perspiration from a very

heard in the congregation—he put aside his
unwrinkledmanuscript, and announced as
his text: “ Little children, let us not love in
word, neither in tongue; but in deed andi
iruf ." ‘ . -
“ Now for a searcher!” whispered Isaac
Waldron to'Enoch; but Enoch was looking.
toward Mr. Bancroft’s pew. '
Minister Wright was famous for “ preach-
ing to the point ;” but his success on this
occasion was unprecedented.
Kate Bancrofi’s cheeks fairly blazed with
blushes as she felt the glances that were
directed toward her from all quarters; but
before many minutes her head sank down,
and tears of confrition filled and oyerflowed
her eyes. The Allen girls—quick to laugh
or cry—were soon weeping in unison; while
fi'om Hannah Pipkin’s vicinity came a suc-
'cessiou of heart-reading sobs, which plainly
disclosed her state of mind. In short, their
conduct, as portrayed by the faithful preach-
er, seemed so weak and foolish that they
soon began to wish with all their hearts that
they were back in their seats again, but felt
that the way would be very difficult. Min-
ister Wright made it eaSier by telling them
that he hoped the difficulty which had so
effectually cleared the gallery, would be set-r
tied before the parties concerned in it had
left the house. ‘ ' '
“ Come on, girls,” cried Enoch as soon as
service closed, “ I calla choir-meeting im-
mediately in the little Vestry.” So one of
the young men was dispatched for Miss
Ellsworth, and those alrebdyipreseflt, red

there at once. Very s'oou‘Miss‘Ells’tvorlh
came in, cool, graceful, pink checked and
smiling; and the girls fried with all their
might to love her in “ deed and truth.”
“ Now then,” said Enoch, taking the chair,
“ Who has injured whose feelings, and who
must apologize to who ?” Kate, Tess of

eyes andquivering lips. .

worth’s note—I thought she wanted to dic-
tate, and—and I thought she didn’t like my
singing; and so I told the girls I was n’t
going to sing any more, and—then—they
declared they wouldn’t. I am ashamed of
it now—it was very foolish—and I’ll go
back again and—do the best I can.” Kate’s
head had been Sinking lower and lower,
and when slieclosedher confession the tears
were dropping fast. The girls rushed to-
wards her—Miss Ellsworth got hold of her
hand and there was, such a jabbering of of-
fection and grief combined as quite melted
the hearts of the young men, who had no
excuse for joining the circle.
But Kate’s head was aching terribly—her
eyes were almost blinded, and putting aside
one after another she bogged them to excuse
her, and hastily, left the vestry.
As for Enoch, he had been so surprised'
by Kate’s speech that he hardly maintained
the dignity Of a presiding officer. In fact
he had been chewing up the leaves of an old
catechism that laid on the table, without
knowing what he was about, until Isaac
Waldron asked him if catechism was good
taken that way.
Then he aroused himself and fold them
that if they were all ready to take their
places again that afternoon they might hold
up their hands. Each hand was lifted, and
the meeting adjourned. In the afternoon,-
.one of Kate’s brothers brought a note to
Laura Allen, saying that she had a terrible
headache, and would clear Laura please take
her place.
Enowid not hear much of the discourse
for he very busy with his own thoughts;
and the closing “ Amen!" sounded in his
ears before‘he had selected a closing volune
tary: So they sang: “ Old Hundred ;” that
always went well; and then Enoch hurried
to his boarding place, ate his supper, fixed
his hair before the glass, picked the freshest
rose buds he could find, and started off to-
ward Butternut Hill.
As for Kate, she had spent a miserable
afternoon. She had cried,_ and scolded
herself until nearly sick; then when the
violence of her grief had somewhat subsid-
cd, she had taken a volume of the saddest
poetry that she could find, and then sealed
herself upon the front door steps; where
screened by the lilac bushes, she Was safe
from observation. It is needless to say that
the book lay unopened in her lap: while
she sat with folded hands, watching the
shadows that chased the sunshine over the
sides of the mountains in front of her. Her
little brothers sought her out at supper time,
and opened theireyes very wide when she
refused their invitation to the labia. .
‘Splendid beans and brown bredd' !’ they
said temptingly ; but p0, Kate just Med to
be let alone.
It was not long however before she heard
quick footsteps and hurried breathing, and
looking up—thcre was Enoch close beside
her!
All nature seemed suddenly glorified; 'but
she did not say as much, so Enoch spoke
first.
‘Is your head aching badly to-night Kale ?’
he asked.
_ ‘Nof so very, I got fired and warm walk-
ing home, but am nicely rested.’
‘We missed youvery much this afternoon,
but Miss Ellsworth helped us, so we got
along very well,’ and Enoch hit some white
clover'blossoms With the birch switch he
carried, taking off their innocent heads at a
single stroke; .
‘I dare say you did,’ said Kafe dryly.
Then Enoch stole a glance at her; and
her sad eyes and pale cheeks appealed very
strongly to his—sympathy; and he was just
-about to sit down and try to comfort her,
when those two inconsiderate youths, her
brothers, appeared, full of copper an?! fun.
’ ‘Can’t you walk down to prayer meeting
with me, Kate ? he asked in a low lone.
‘Yes—I suppose so. Can you 'wait for
me to get ready ‘1" answered Kate, raising
slowly, so as not to seem anxious at all On
the subject. Wait? ofcourse he would. So
Kate went off, dressed herself with all possi-
ble speed, and came slowly back, looking
very lovely, and—without imitating Miss
Ellsworth at all-quite cool; fer to fell the
truth, the poor Child was so weary, that the
color had forsaken her cheeks.
‘Ain’t that soft, though; remarked one
youthful Bancroft lo the other, as they
watched the couple slowly walking down
the grassy slope, ‘I should think mother’d
just better look after Kate.’
But Kate didn’t want any ‘locking after.’
She waswith Enoch, and the world was
hung with rose color. _ _
They talked over the choir trouble until
nothing remained to be said; and when, at
length, they reached a little brook that ran
noisily along under the shadow of sheltering
bitches, they paused in utter silence.
Said Enoch, by and by, when he could
find voice: ‘I never heard our minister
preach a better sermon than he did this
morning. Don’t you think he had a splen-
did text 1"
‘0 yes—very,’ said Kate.
‘And it’s a text that will apply to particu-
lar cases too. Don’t you think so ‘2’
‘Why, yes. I should think perhaps it
might.’ Kate’s voice trembled a little.
‘Come' Kate,’ said Enoch, with sudden
energy, ‘what simpletons we are] You know
what I mean. Don’t you think that we
could love each other in deed and in truth i”
Kate’s answer was in a very low tone, but
Enoch was evidently satisfied with it; and
he brook bounded over the stones, singing;
_ ‘It’s all right! it’s all right !’
In that happyhour. Kate entirely forgot
Miss Ellsworth, for Enoch told her he had
loved her, and her alone, for a long, long
time, and she believed him. But people
began, to pass by on their way to prayer
meeting, so Enoch and Kate, wilh'a new
world to walk in, joined the company.
They both .tried to assume an expression,
of unconcern, .as they came face to face with
their friends; but,lnuch to Kate’s chagrin,
Calista Collins reported allover town during
the week, that ‘she knew, as soon as she saw
Enoch and. Kate walk into the vcslry to-
gether, that they were engaged; and now
she guessed they'd allow that she was right
when she said that somdht’n’ would come of
getiin’ that orgiu. It always happened so—
first a fighthsged.’
A Kiss Devoutly Sandwiched.
A story of the courtship of John Brown
of Haddington, has been at last put into a
book—but 'in my young days I heard it in
the Lowlands of Scotland, and it is believed
to be entirely true. This John Brown was
the author of the“‘Marrow of Divinity,” and
other theological books, which are held in
high esteem by the Scottish people. He
courted a lady upwards of six years. He
was so singularly modest and bashful that
he never ventured to kiss her. One day it
.occurred to him that it would not be a-bad
thing to do, So—it is recorded—Ills said,
“Janet, ina woman, we’ve been acquainted
now for six years, un’—an’—I’vc never go,
a kiss yet. D’ye think 1 may take one, my
bonnie loss?” The reply was wonderfully
Characteristic of the Scottish maiden. “Jist

“we’ll “33.?! blessi ’.” The blessing was

Mr. Anglisfus Fitz:Humes sat in his luxuri-
ous bachelor establishment on B—street
and gendered deeply. The subject of his
cegitations was a wife, or, rather, how to
get one. There were enough young ladies
who would be glad to bless their lucky stars
for the privilege of becoming mistress of his
home: as be well knew; but he also felt
tolerably well assured the home was all they
cared for. For the fortune they would wed
its owner.
“Deuce fake the money! he exclaimed.
“I wish I’d never had a cent, and then-but
botheration !—_ihcn I should have been too
poor to marry, any way, Why couldn’t I
have had just wealth enough for all wy
wants, and nothing more ? I’ll foil them.
though, the mean adventuresscs !”
A furious pull of the bell-cord brought
the housekeeper to the room in a hurry.
“Pack up your traps, Mrs. Ashfield,” he ex-
claimed abruptly; “for I am. going to close
the house.”
It was evident he had come to some con-
clusion.
“Shut up the house, Mr. Fitz-Homes ! ejac-
ulated the housekeeper, almost believing
she had lost her reason. “Why, such a
thing has not occurred since your lamented
uncle took possession five and forty years
ago l”
“That makes no difi'crence, ma’am; l’m
master here now, and I shall close it for the
present. Meanwhile your pay can still go
on, and that of such domestics as you con:
sider indispensable. Have you no relatives
you wish to visit ?” he inquired.
That settled it. The proffer of continued
pay removed Mrs. Ashficld’s scruplcs quite
effectually. She then remembered she had
friends she had not seen for years.
Three days later. Mr. Augustus Fitz-Homes
was safely domicled in a quiet boarding
house and shortly afterwards he began to
sell his diamond rings, and seals, and other
paraphernalia of fashionable life, as well as
dress himself [11 plainer clothes. A rumor
that his properll had been lost through an
unlucky speculation was soon afloat.
H2 lost friends rapidly. Twos and threes
they ceased to know him as he met them on
the street. He only laughed and snapped
his fingers at them behind their backs. Had ’
his adversity been real, he would not have
felt like ladghing.
Then came the time when his circle of ac.
quaintances got narrowed down to three.
_But three of all his former friends still clung
to him, true in adversity. If is no wonder
that he grew misanihropic.
Out upon the Street, one day, he met a
carriage containing some of his former ac-
quaintances, who had been absent from the
city since he closed his house. He thought
they would not notice him; but each inmate
of the carriage bowed politely as of old.
“They have not heard the news,” he mut'
tered cynically.
He was mistaken. That night the owner
of the carriage came to see him.
“Rather close quarters, my friend,” he
said as he took a calm survey of Augustus’s
not v ry pretentious surroundings. .
“P tty close, that’s a faci,”said Mr. Hume,
icily. "‘But since I lost my property,
of which I suppose you havn’t heard, Iliave
become qiiile economical.”
“But I have heard,” cried his auditor, ab-
ruptly "and that is whyI came. I; knew
you needed friends now if ever, and the fact
is—well—my daughter, sir—I mean I came
to offer the position of head clerk in my
counting-room. Will you accept it i”
“Ahem! Well, I will think of if. .Bnt it
is‘ a long way from my boarding house.”
“Deuce take your boarding-house! You
can board in my family as a—well, as a sort
of guest you know.
Augustus looked him over closely. Reu-
ben Stanly was a wealthy man—very
wealthy, he was called—and in his face there
was nothing to warrant the suspicion that
he had learned Augustus’ secret, and wished
to curry favor, aiding him while under an
apparent cloud; so that idea was speedily
dismissed. Of course, he quickly thanked
him, and accepted.
Once cosily snagged in Stanley’s man-
sion, it was not long before he wondered
why he had not noticed Nellie Stanley be-
fore. She did not seem to feel above him,
notwithstanding the wide difference in their
positions, and treated him. ,afi cordially-—
more cordially he thought than—before the
change in fortunes. He would nothave
been human had he not learned to love her.
The climax c‘arne when she gave a grand
party. Then, before the elite of the city,
she did not hesitate to receive attentions
from him, on which but one construction
could be placed. He thought her quite a
heroine. and asked no further proof that she
could love him. ,
The next afternoon they met in her fa-
ther’s library, where he had waited to see
her. .
“Nellie,” he said, as soon as the usual
courtesies had been exchangcd’ “1 come .10
you this morning to learn my fate. I know
the difference in our positions, and would
not urge you—only let your heart decide.
My heart I lay before you.”
She blushed prettily, and seemed confused
for a moment, then she gave him her hand.
"I have loved you, 0 so long l” She said.
“And I feared that you would never love me-
You were so jealous before you lost your
wealth that all women were mere adventur-
esscs. I was heartily glad when papa said
you had lost it, and 1—”
“You sent him to negotiate with me i"
cried Augustus, finishing the sentence intui-
tively, and giving it labial emphasis.
"I loved you so!” she murmered, depreca-
tingly.
“I do not doubt it, dearest.” And Mr.
Augustus Fitz-Homes believed himself the
happiest of men.
They were married. The wedding was
very unpretentious, us become the bride-
groom’s straitened circumstances; and he _
was in constant exlacy as he thought of her
surprise when he should tell her that his
fortune still remained. He sent for Mrs.
Ashficld to come and reopen the house and
put it in condition to receive. "its mistress.
Meantime they ferried at her father’s.
“Augustus,” said his wife one day, “I have
a favor to ask Ofyou—will you grant it i"
"I will, if in my power, darling !” he ex-
claimed. '
“Well, poor papa is rather short of money
—wou’l you lend him ten or fifieen thou-
sand ?" ,
“are! why you know—”
“Oh! I know what you have been pre.
fending," was the quick reply. “But then it
wasn’t so—you' never lost your money.”
Augustus Fitz-Homes was (lamb with as-
tonishment and chagrin.
“How did you find it out!” he gasped.
“I knew it all the time. When I heard
that you were penniless, papa went directly
to our ha and learned the contrary. I
think we'managed shrewdly." '
“I think you did,” cried her husband des‘
perately; “but do you think I’ll endure it 1’”
“How can you help yourself 1 We are mar-
ried now—will you apply for a divorce i”

“Then what will you do !” , _
“Aus’wer me one question; do you really
