‘ THE TEST or LOVE.
BY H. L. D. I’.
/
“0, Miss Sno‘w, please tell us the secret,
to-da'y I We are all crazy to know what it
is,” said a rosy-checked girl bounding into
the. tea room at the Wilmot Institute, and
giving her teacher a tremendous bug.
“Be quiet, dear. You shall know in due
time,” replied Miss Snow, in her mest per-
suasive manner.
“But I can’t be quiet. You know Ican’t.
I hate quiet folks l” rctoried the impulsive,
kind-hearted girl, with a little stamp of her
restless foot.
“Hush, dear I You don’t really hate any}

and quiet.” ‘ ,
_‘jI wish everybody wouldn’t be saying
such dreadful things to me. There's Mary
Vance, nobody ever says a hateful thing to
her. She’s always ‘so nice,’ ‘so good,’ ‘so
charming,’ I hate her, so there !”
“My dear Susie, don’t talk any more now.
You are altogether too milch excited to
talk,” said the patient Miss Snow, smooth-
ing down her tumbled hair, and pressing he
lips to her flushed face. -
....v 1 I.--“ .,....-
, Susie burst into tears as usual, and ran off
to he: rOom to have a good cry.
At tea time Miss Snow invited the young
folks to meet her in the parlor at eight
o’clock, where she would'iell them the long
sought secret. The girls exchanged glances
of delight, while the boys fairly clapped
their hands‘in glee.
“That will bejolly,” said John Noble.
“Splendid l” interrupted Susie in an ecsta-
cy of delight. ‘
Study hours being over, the students of
Wilmot Institute gathered in the parlor,
laughing and chatting as students will, while
waiting for some one.
A short, quick step, a flutter of rallies and
finery, and Miss Siarbird entered, and
settled herself cosily in the the most desira-
ble corner of the sofa. Her eyes were half
shut in affected sweetness of temper, a soft
smile irradiated her beautiful mouth con-
tradicted by ’lhc slightest perceptible con-
tempt in the upperlip. The buzzing ceased
and the party ntonce sought seals, for when-
ever Miss Siarbird came among them, con-
straint came also.
Presently the silence was broken by the
sound of deer, quiet footfalls along the hall;
They paused a moment at the threshold, as
if to steady the tired nerves of one used to
sorrow,ihen appca red in the door the lovely,
yet frail figure of Miss Snow, the lady prin-
cipal of 'Wilmot Institute. All rose as she
entered, and greeted her with unrestrained
enthusiasm. A trifle paler than usual, with
a wonderful light in her mild eyes, she took
her station near the stand.
“Dear children, I have come to- fulfil the
promise I made you long ago,but to do
this, it will be necessary to explain a little.
First, I must refer to a great Prince, who
discovered the secret I am_ about to reveal
to you. This prince lived a long time ago
—before our grandfathers lived, and before
this country was known in Europe. He
was a true and princely Prince. The lovliL
est of all the royal families in the known
world. Beautiful beyond description; the
son and heir of a great king, whose wealth
was never estimated, whose servants, were
estimated by .ihousands, and whose lands
and cattle, and palaces and houses were be-
yond computation ; it is not strange that he
should have had some devoted and enthu-
siastic admirers. And yet, with all ihesc‘
things, together with the grandest talents,
and most wonderful knowledge, he lived
comparatively unappreciatcd. His habits
were simple and quiet, his wants few and
easily supplied, and his manner kind and
sympathetic. ,
“This Prince of Princes learned the great
secret first, and since that time, by various
circumstances ' and trials others have come
to the some knowledge. The only wonder
is, how so many fail to discover this key to
humpn happiness and success.
“The central good of this world comes of
love. '
"‘It is not a thing of sport or shame. It
is of all things the one pure, Godlike part
of us. and we must cherish it. Alas for
human ha pincss that it should ever be the
subject £1ailery or mirth ! The person
who does not love somebody, who does not
labor and sacrifice ‘for somebody, is no
better thuna cast iron man or woman, and
deserves to be banished from human society.
Never be ashamed to own, dear children,
and to show‘ that love, at all proper times
and places. Now, since love is the center
of all happiness, is it not highly proper for
us to know enough of its nature to be sure
that we are not deceived, or deceiving in
the matter ? Hence the importance of
learning this test of. Zone. First then, can
you tell when one loves you ?”
“I can,” said Frank Major, “they
fool me." I ‘
“So can I,” said Susie, Baker, tossing her

“How can you tell ‘?" asked Miss Snow.
"l‘d’n know. but I can'tell cvcrytime,” re-
: plied Frank
' “Let us see,” :-aid Miss Snow; “you know
, it because they say so, I suppose."
“That’s no evidence at all,” sari Maggie
Worth who had evidently seen the wort-i
I and learned some lesson of conventional
9 deception. “I knoonts of people who say
: they love, when they don’t at all.“
A general nod of approval relieved Mag-
gie of the color that had risen to her temples,
' while Miss Snow gave her a smile of assur-
i ancc.
. “Well, then, I take it, that you all see :hat

i words alone are no evidence of the gel-wind
I ness of the article."
“No, I wculd not believe some folks, even
if they swore to it,” said Susie, vehemently,
fanning herself with a sheet of music.
“I should think we could know by their.
- never getting tired of us," said Dolly Ray-
mond in a. soft voice of infinite crcdulity.
“I do not find a sufficient proof in that,”
observed Miss Snow, “for persons may
selfishly seek the society of another 011 all
possible occasions, just because they are
soothed or petled, or wailed on, or instructed
or amused, not caring to return an equiva-
lent. This class of people might properly be
termed spongers of happiness—always ab-
sorbing the happiness of those about them,
yet returning none."
“What can the test be ?" said one and an-
other trying in vain to think. ' '
“Is it when we love to wait on them,
'and try to please' them ‘3" asked Jenny
' Meyer.
“Partly that, and yet more than that,”
said Miss Snow. “We shall perhaps arrive
ata conclusion sooner by trying to recall
the words and works and manners of those
whom we believe to love us, or how we act
and .feel towards those whom we love.
Please- tell us one by one your own ex-
perieuce in this matter.”
This proposition brought some little stir
and flutter in the party, but. as Miss Snow
seemed ‘in earnest they soon began an intro
speciion.
“Mary Vancc,will you tell me how you
think that person behaves towards you,
Whose love you think you possess ?”
Mary rose and replied? .
“1 think, Miss Snow, that the person who
loves me best is always watching to see that
I do notget sick, and that I have comforta-
ble clothing and plenty of good food to eat,
and tries every way to make me good and
happy."
“That’s her mother,” said Joe .Brown,
with a smile of satisfaction at his own quick
perception. I .
“How does she do this ‘2” asked Miss
Snow ; “by thinking only of her own com-
fort i”
“No, indeed I I have frequently known
her to go without things so that I could
have them. 'In fact, my mother always sees
that everybody in her house is comfortable
before she takes one bit of rest, herself.”
“Then you think your mother proves her
love for her dear ones by her self-denial and
care for them i” said Miss Show.
“I do most certainly,” said Mary,'nlways
glad to say something nice for her mother,
whom she loved and appreciated as few
girls do until they are, taken from them for;
«(nu-z
“Maggie Worth, will you follow Mary
upon this subject ?”
“I don’t know much about the subject,
Miss Snow. My mother is an invalid and
can do very little to show that she loves
anybody."
“She does a great deal no doubt,” said
Miss Snow, “to make home cheerful and
pleasant, by her example of patience and
hope, gentleness and forbearance."
Maggie did not reply, but she gave Miss
Snow a hungry look, as if to say, “Can you
really see anything to admire in my poor,
Worried, frelfnl suffering mother ?"
“Maggie, tell us of some one who loves
you beside your mother.”
“I can’t tell anything. Nobody loves me,
as I know of, unless it is little Georgie, my
brother. 1 think sometimes that he does.”
“Whatmakes you think so ?” asked the
teacher. . .
“I really don’t know,“ said Maggie, “but
he always runs to meet me, and seems to
feel so sorry ifIam sad. If I cry, he fetches
all his playthings and piles them in my lap,
and gives me all his candy if he has any.”
“Then he gives you everything he prizes
in the world to let you know how much he
loves you. I think you can count on the
child’s love as genuine."
“But must we give up every thing to one.
if we love that one ?” said Jennie Meyer.
“It is not necessary always to prove your
love to that extent, but willingness must be
there to do so if it were necessary.”
_ “Dolly Raymond, come to me, will you ?”
said Miss Snow.
Dolly came and stood close beside her
teacher. Miss Snow whispered a word in
her ear, and held her trembling hand in hers,
while she told in her sweet, childish way
that everybody was so good to her that she
could not tell who loved her best; that she
never did anything to make them so good to
her. She thought sometimes that it was be-
Cause she was lame, and could not run and
play like the other girls.
“How do they show their love for you,
denr ?” asked Miss Snow. ‘
“0h, father never comes or goes but he
bids me good-bye, with a kiss, Ihd mother
always takes me out when she goes, and the
children play games with me, and are very
gentle with me, giving me a part in all their
fun so far as they can, and nobody ever
speaks crossly to me.”
“Well, I think your lot a very fortunate
one, Dolly, and you are no doubt very
thankful to your Heavenly Father", for such
loving friends.”
“Jennie Meyer have you something to tell
us on this subject ‘3”
“I can’t tell much, but I have one true,
friend who loves me very much, I think. I
can’t tell what makes me think so though.”
“Does your friend say so '3” inquired Miss
Snow. - _
“Yes, she says so, and she has written me
so a great many times. It must be true."
“Perhaps she thinks so herself. But do
words alone prove it to be true ? What
does she do to please you, or make you
better i”
“I don’t know. I can‘t think.”
“Does she doupylhing for you ‘2” queried
Miss Snow. - '
“She is al'ways doing something to please
me, butI cannot think of anything to tell
just now.”
“Does she bring you nice books to read,
divide her boqucls with you. or encourage
you in study ‘2” '
“No l but then I carry her boqucts some-
times, and we look at pictures together and
a great many other nice things."
“Does she deny herself anything on your
account ? Would she stay at home to
amuse you, when you could not go out with
her, or read to you when you had a task to
finish ?”
“Why, no! I don’t remember that she
ever has done those things.” .
“What. beside ‘Icr words, then,d6 you find
as evidence that she loves you ?”
“0h, she come to see me almost every
duy,and we have such nice tines. Last week
she wanted me to go to her dressmakers,
and see her nice, new things; then we went
to her house and she showed me all‘her
presents and pretty things.”
“Is that all ?” asked Miss Sn‘bw.
“No l She shows life her letters and tells
head, and turning her back to Frank.
me all her plans and secrets.”

Miss Show ; ‘sior' one’s test gift depends on

not prize it, amounts to nothing as an evi-

book that your. dearest friend, now gone
from your sight had given you, and one
which you could not replace, then were you

evidence of respect and esteem.”
"Well, I don’t see how one is ever to find
out, I am sure. If 3'01. can’t take any-
body’s wold for it, nor believe what they
write, nor their fondness for one‘s society—
nor their gii'is, how can we find out, I should
like to know ‘2" said Susie.
"Therc is a way, and of you study for it
you will finally get light on the subject.
Now, Su'sie, tell us some one you love or
who loves you.”
“No one cares a fig for me that I know of,
and I’m glad of it. I don’t want anybody
in love with me. It's a nuisance,” said
Susie, with a spiteful glance at Frankhwho
sat twirling his cap defiantly, never once
looking up during this fiery speech.
"Johnny Noble, tell us your opinion or
experiences." -
“I haven’t any experience. .I think love
is a great humbug 1 That’s what I tl'ink. I
never did know anybody in love who did
not act like a dance, and .make a great fool
of himself. Idon’t waste my time loving
anybody, unless it’s my dog Beppo. He’s
a good. faithful, genuine friend, and it don’t
take long to find it out, either.” '
Having delivered himself of this harangue
Master John rubbed his hair, and pulled
down his coat and vest as if he had finished
the subject now and forever.
“We must now conclude our remarks,"
said Miss Snow, “and come to the main
thing, the test of true love, as given to us
by the great Prince, centuries ago. . I now
give to you my dear young friends the great
secret I have been withholding—and yet,
before I begin, I want everyone in the room
to promise to test their own love for some-
body. by What we will calla Christmas gift,
be it more or less, little or great. Do you
promise ? If so, stand upon your feet.”
At this juncture, when every one else
rose, Miss Starbird took occasion to bow
herself from the room, thereby implying
that she would take no obligation what-
~ GVCI'.
“I gucssJ can stand it," said Johnny
Noble to Eagle; jfor Beppo isworthy of a
present. and he'shall have oné,'ib”o.”
“This, ihep, is the secret, “The test of love
is sacrijz'ce.‘ The question you have to ask
yourselves now,bcforc you gQfiway and
decide upon your Christmas gifts, is, ‘What
do I prize-most of all my earthly posses-
sions ?’ or, ‘whtit is my greatest selfishness ?’
in other words, ‘what is the greatest sacri-
fice I can make to the one I love best 1?" To
help you think, I will suggest a few of the
greatest sacrifices. I asked a beautiful lady
to-tiay what she would most dislike to part
with of anything she enjoyed, and she re-
plied ‘hcr taste for the beautiful; to give up
all anticipation of any indulgence in things
that‘werc graceful and beautiful and elegant,
and settle down to a humdrum, COlllIIIOIl
life .viih no hope for change.’ I replied
that I had been in the treadmill so long that
I had become used to the boards now. I
though once .I was beyond it, I fancied, but I
having been thrust back again, I was learn-
ing to work very patiently. I asked another
lady what would he the greatest sacrifice
she could make in life, and she answered,
‘I'Ily will, to give up my will to another.’
‘No one has a right to do that,’ said the first
lady. ‘The will is a part of one's identity,
and should never be yielded up entirely to
anyone, and I shOnld say furthermore, that,
Tome sacrifices are unholy and uncalled for,’
So they are, I said, a sacrifice to gratify an-
oiher's selfish propensities, is not only un-
called for, but positively wrong; for it not
only injures the Epersou who sacrifices, bni
renders more selfish the receiver of the
sacrifice.”
“ What would be the greatest sacrifice
you could make in life, Miss Snow ‘3” asked
Susie.
“I think my time, now-though earlier in
life, I might have said my opportunities.
The greatest sacrifice I can make one, is to
give that one alarge portion of my time; or
my opportunities for education or opportu
or more profitable and happier.”
“It’s so queer,” said Frank, “that I never
thought about this before.”
“On Christmas day, dear children, 1 want
you to sendme sealed letters lellingme what
your Christmas sacrifice is to be. I want
you to think of something selfish in your
dispositions that annoys some one about
you, and I want you to sacrifice that for a
whole year. Then, besides this sacrifice of
self-denial or omission, I want you to give
something that you prize most to the one
that yOu love, whether it be time, opportu-
nity. talent, appciiie, taste, money, pleasure,
leve, or what not. And now good night,
and may God bless you.”
On Christmas day, there came to Miss
Snow 3. number of sealed envelopes and in
each of them was found the name of the
ofi‘cring that each of her pupils had decided
to make as Christmas gifts. Here are ver-
batim copies of some of those honest rc-
solves z—- ' '
“Dear T archer : Ihave the habit of drum
thing on everything, which annoys my
mother very much. I have resolved to stop
this as‘soon as possible .for her sake. Then
I am not very fond of amusing my sisters,
and I am resolved for the coming year to
give them some of my time, both to please
them and to relieve my mother. Will this
show that I love them?
Yours, etc.,
. _ FRANK DIAJOR."
“My dear Males Snow .'—l have been think-
ing of what you said about my mother,and I'
believe that i have been cross and neglect-
ful to her. Poor mother! Maybe this is
the last Christmas I shall have her, for she
fails very fast. I can see It looking back upon
last Christmas. So now I am going to stay by
her It great deal, and amuse her with read
ing, and keep away every annoyance, even
give up my music because it hurts her
nerves. Will this be enough ? .
Truly you loving pupil,

“Dear Miss Snow :—I hate to keep the
Sabbath as I ought. I am always tempted
to do something ; to work or play on God’s
holy day. So now I am going to keep the
Sabbath just as well as I possibly .cun, to
show God that I love Him and am trying to
keep his commandments. Then I am go-

She was soon in the street, with a. small
basket of daintins, looking for Joe Pruihers,
but Joe found her befr re she found him, and
led her to his poor shanty. There she found
the poor child’s mother very ill of the fever,
and no one to take care of her, and only a
little medicine from the Dispensary. Sce-
ing how miserable and uncomfortable she
was, Miss Show went home and packed a
number of pieces of bcc'cling and various
comforts for the sick room, and returned to
watch with her.
The pa“; Int was delirious, and grew worse
during ‘ v ‘ngni. In the“ morning Miss

At in. c of Lh' ' time the fever had passed
ihc crisis, . l the physician advised Miss
Show to go home at once, and use every pre-
caution, or she would have the fever also.
The caution come too late to avoid the
calamity.
When holiday week was over, the princi-
pal was announced as slightly indisposed.
and unable to attend her classes, but would
soon resume her former work. Miss Star-
bird, in the meantime, would take charge of
the Institute. What could the students of
Miss Snow learn. thinking of her sick, and
perhaps uncured for in another part of the
house ? One after another had asked to see
her, but were forbidden to disturb her, and
a poor, ragged boy seemed to haunt the
premises, looking up at the windows and in
at the door a hundred tithes a (lay.
Susie Baker had resolved to see Miss
Show, and all the girls stood ready to back
her in case of trouble. She started like the
wind, and cleared every obstacle, never
the door shut and bolted; Then rushing to
the ll€tlSl(IC,.Slle came near sobbing aloud,
but thinking that it might worry the dear
sufferer, she controlled herself and stooped
to look at her.
Miss Snow took both her hands and said:
“I am so glad you have come. Why did
you not come before ?”
“Because that hateful old thing would not
let me. I’d like 5-: see myself doing any-
thing for her I” ’
“Dear Susie, vou are too hasty. Will you
never for the sake of one who loves you,
learn to control your hasty temper? You
wanted to know what it was that you most
needed to) overcome. It is this temptr~
\Vill you try ‘9"
“Yes, yes 1 I’ll take my temper out, and
I’ll dry it and pulverizc it, if you’ll _only get ‘

“Susie, how i. poor -I ' Pro-her, and
where is Joe ‘3“
“Do you want 10 see him
“Notjnst now,'but to-morrow. I meant
to tidy him up and bring him to school next
year, but now’ I am sick and, can do
nothing.”
“I "can do that for you," said Snsie,de-
lighted that an opportunity was oficrcd to
serve Miss Snow, I
On passing out, Susie informed Miss Star-
bird that'shc was coming to stay with Miss
Snow every day, by hcr'request, where three
weeks from time, in spite of careful nursing
and skilled physicians, the students of Wil-
moi Institute were at last permitted to enter
the Principal‘s room noiselessly, 5: rd in
single file, (as if noise could reach her now.)
and walk by the rosewood casket containing
the form of that beautiful and accomplished
lady, the noble and exalted Christian, the
true and self-sacrificing friend. No more
tender and loving heart pusssed that way,
than the tearful urchin who shivered on the
f’"
nities to change my whole life to one better oor step, gazing wistfully for a face he
.would never see again.
Passing out from the house, Susie caught
sight of the wretched child, and taking him
by the hand, she .walked straight up the
grand stairway, and into the chamber of
rest. Now the grief of the two real mourn-
ers found full vent.
There upon her knees, by the side of the
friend who’selips were now sealed forever,
Susie vowed, with tears streaming from her
eyes, to conquer her temper, to control her
hasty spirit and to honor the noble friend
who had labored so failhfully for her,
'adding an obligation to takc'care of, and
educate poor Joe, as Miss Snow had desired
to do.
The poor boy opened his worn jacket and
drew forth a little parcel and removing the
bit of paper, held np‘a faded rosebud, say-
ing :—
“Oh, miss, I kept it so long it won't do to

supposed that Editors of this character can
appreciate the motives or understand the
pri..cipu. of Vincent Colyer or the Fresh
deni'of t‘ > United States in dealing with
the Apaches. But there are editors on the
coast who have not rejoiced over the Los
Angclcs massacre that manifest a. spIrit
Illucll akin to It when they discuss the
operations of Colyer‘among the Apaches.
We have read their impassioned utterances
' and unmeasured denunciations of this man
for the last fortnight with growing astonish-
ment. It is wonderful to see how much
bitterness can be pressed into a column of
denunciation, by these Editors: when Col-
yer is their theme. But few newspapers on
the coast have failed to join in the cry
against Mr. Colyer, and the exceptions'
have remained strangely silent. Only two
have had a single kind word to' say, until
within afcw days the Sacramento Union
has dared to breast the st'orm and speak out
for Colyer. A correspondent of the Los
Angeles Express, a few days after the Santa.

of an interview with Mr. Colyer, ventured
to suggest some sensible hints with regard.
to the attitude of the Arizona. press and
people toward Mr. Colyer, but he soon
ceased to write, or the Erpress felt constrain‘
ed to decline his dangerous utterances. We
failed to find anyzeditorial reference to his
communications, and what little has since
appeared in the Empress did not favor Mr-
Colycr. The Santa Barbara Passe plainly'

much to add. That we may not be misun-

we have said. we herewith republish what

lion and its Indian policy, as the Apaches
are by him according to theirrepresentaions
of his knowledge of the Apaches,| They are
as confident of their position, and of their
ability to “bust up” his method of dealing
with Apaches. that they seem to think they
cannot overdo the matter. They torture
his words; they ridicule his mission; they
misrepresent his plans; they threaten his
scalp; they concea his real workand fabri-
cst deeds intended to disgrace him; in fine,
they appear to a disinterested spectator who
dare speak the truth, as the real Apaches
of the country themselves. for they certain;
1y have employed the Indian method of
warfare in opposing Colyer and his Indian
policy with all the relentlessness and savage-
ry of the Apaches. We are well aware
that the position here taken is as unpopular
as it well could be ; but men who have seen
Abolitionism crush Slavery, and who have
not forgotten howunpopular that once was,
are not afraid ot a little unpopulariiy on the
Apache question. We shall recur to this
matter next week, and show some of the
reasons why we have thus met the storm
that beats upon the head of a quiet, consci-
entious man, who is great enough to be
silent as was His Master when arraigned
for mock trial‘by a horde of miscreants who
used the forms oflaw to pass sentence of
death upon the world’s best friend.‘ i
In this interview Mr. Colyer expressly
said that the Apaches were about the worst
Indians he had found, although he had
visited almost every tribe from the reserva-
tions in New York to the distant tribes of
Washington Territory and Alaska, having
spent several years in this employment.
But among the Apaches, as among all other
tribes of Indians, he had found that many
sincerely desired to be at peace with the‘
white people, while others would cbniinue
their depredaiions until they were shot. It
was for the sake of those who are disposed
to be peaceable that reservations must be
established.
Our absence in Los Angeles and a press
of other matters since, did not permit us to;
follow up this reference to the Apache’ ques-
tion as intended. But we have closely
studied the situation and have clipped out .
of our exchanges at least twenty columns of
the most unsparing abuse of Mr. Colyer
and of Grant’s administration, and there
isa very striking similarity of expression
and sentiment running through on. these
aspersions and accusations, showing a
common source of inspiration and a like
animus, namely the hostile newspapers of
Arizona. The more manly newspapers of
the coast will yet modify their charges,
dismiss their denunciations and some will
have the candor to withdraw their unjust
accusations entirely. All this they will
feel compelled to do when they see how far
they have been misled and how greatly
unjust they have been.
But our theme is large and our space
limited. Many points must be omitted, and
others merely mentioned.
What, now, are the merits of this much
agitated Indian question ? . ; Precisely What
ifwas Mr. Colyer.ahd_the President aimed
to do? It will surprise th,e,.readcr to learn
that no newspaper in Arizona or in_Califor-
his, hostile to the- present Indian policy of
the Government, and to Mr.‘661yer as the
agent of the government, sent out to put that
policy in operation, has had the fairness to
stale what this policy is and what Mr. Col-
yer was instructed, to do. I
The situation, then,'is simply this : Arizo-
na is inhabited by “Indiapb'hs warhke and

quered on ,this' continent._ They belong
