CHAPTER III. .
Six'weeks had passed away since our
friends landed in the beautiful metropolis of
Polynesia, but in that land of unending suin-
'mcr, weeks, months and years glide by on
noiseless wings, so that it seemed to them
but a brief, period indeed. Their time was
well filled with sight-seeing and social enjoy-
ment. Although insular life is necessarily
contracted, there is great variety in Hawaii.
They enjoyed the liospitalities of the cultur-
ed residentstuglis-h and American families
who make up the society of Honolulu ; they
found muchamusenient and instruction study-
ing the native character, so full of child-like
simplicity mingled with barbarian’ shrewd-
ness; they reveled in the attractions of natu-
ral scenery in which are combined ocean and
mountain views of surpassing beauty and
grandeur. Several weeks of their time were
spent in'a tour around the group of islands,
during which trip they “visited charming Maui ,
‘ascendin'g its cloud-piercing peak, Haleakala;
they sailed close to the high cliffs of W'aipio
down which pour the foaming waters of
Malina Loa in sublime and brilliant cataracts,
and they stood on the shore of the beautiful
bay where Captain Cook,’not ahundred years
ago, was struck dead by the savages. )Vhile
on this island they made an_cxpcdition to the
great volcano Kilauea, and descended into its
yawning crater.
They were now back again from these ex:
plorations. Captain Holmes had sailed away
for the Arctic, but previously to doing so had
taken a furnishe’d cottage for Mrs. Holmes,
and Constance made her stay there. Harry
and Eugene had rooms at the hotel, but quite
naturally spent much of their time at the cot-
tage.‘ Itwas CODfldently.cxpaotc.l i1-_.' r..-
stance’s father would soon arrive from New
York via San 'Francisco. Looking. for his
coming, they were anticipating with some
impatience the great (1: y of all the month in
Honolulu—steamer day, when the steamer
arrives from San Francisco and the connect-
ing steamer for Melbourne, Australia,takes its
departure. The arrival of these vessels is
quite a regular thing, and can be pretty accu-
rately calculated on in ordinary weather.
On the eve of this eventful day, Constance
and her aflianccd took a ride horse-back in
the deliciétls moonlight to lVaikiki. This is a
romantic resort about three miles "from the
city, where many residents have cottages to
which they take their families in the mid-
summer heats. It is’reached by ahard. coral
shell road which skirts the shore, having on
the left Punch Bowl Hill, and straight in
view, in front, the *majestic and perfectly
shaped crater, Diamond Head. Waikiki‘lics
beyond the point where the coral reef begins
which cuts across the Day of Honolulu.
Within the reef the waters are always tran-
quil, but here onthis long stretch of beach,
the Pacific rolls his great waves with a nev-
er ending surge. Kamehameha the Fifth,
loved to retire to retire to his villa at Waikiki
and lay aside in the retirement of his groves
there the constraints of royal. etiquette, and
it was more than suspected that some 'bf the
bright-eyed beauties of his court contributed
by their presence and fascinations to render
his'stay there quite different from that of a
hermit. ' . ' ‘
When our friends reached- the cocoa nut
groves they dismounted and strolled along-
the beach, and sitting down watched the
large rollers come in with their silver crests
,radiant in the moonlight. There is no beauty
in nature any where like that of the sea from
shore. There is no beauty in the wide world
equal to that of the sea as it Washes the trop-
ical shores of Hawaii, glistening in the. ten-
der'efiulgenee of the full moon. Scaled on
the dry sand they drank in this beauty with
glad and eager souls. Never, perhaps, in the
whole of life is the mind. so open to influ-
ences from nature, as when love with all its
fresh, youthful force awakens the glowing
heart into thrilling ecstacy of feeling. . They
talked freely, fondly as lovers by instinct do.
And here Constance for the first time told
Harry that she, was not Hazlitt’s sister, that
her true name was Rightmeyer, and her
father a gentleman of large wealth in New.
York, her mother in heaven,
“Shedied when I was but a little Cllllt ,”
she said softly, pressing his hand, “ a mere
babe; yet though I was so young I have felt
the loss much, and I have sometimes fancied
that ~.it has given me a more quiet and
thoughtful way. You must make up to inc,
dear Harry, this lack and be all the more to
me in the life before us.”
Harry made no reply. They sat for some
time silent,'looking off at the never ceasing
.play of the graceful billows. But Blake’s
face was as pale ashes and his frame seemed
agitated by some heavy emotion. There
could be no chill in such a balmy air; why
this agitation? Constance, however, did not
observe his palcness, nor the tremor that
passed over him, and presently he arose and
said rather absently, .
- “ Well, the road is as long to return as to
come; let us seek our horses.”
So they galloped back to the city over the
hard, smooth road, and Harry lifting his be-
trotlied from her saddle, kissed her, and said,
in a somewhat formal way.
“ Good night.” Then he added, - “ to-mor—
row we shall of course all go 'down 1‘ to the
steamer and greet your father.” ' ,
That night the lights in Harry llake‘s
room at the hotel burned the long night
through, and were still aglow when the usual
songs of the birds twittering in the sunning
ind algeroba trees announced the dawning of
another day. ,
The steamer from San Francisco arrived
shortly before breakfast. Constance was at
the landing to meet her dear father,and not in
vain, for she was welcomed once more‘to his
armsL—a delightful privilege to both after
their long separation. -
“So you call it a little boat sail that you
have taken, you naughty chik ,” he said, kiss-
ing her again and again. “ I should call it a
pretty long voyage.~ And you must fall in
love with these dusky heathen, must you, you
linger ahher. “ Are you not afraid, lest some
day should the dinner be scanty, he might
take a fancy to make a meal off of you, the
horrid cannibal 2*” -
“Oh, no, dear papa, he is not a heathen at
all, and very far from being a cannibal. How
could you imagine it 1’ He is a fine, noble—
noble—»—” then she blushed and spoke very
low, “ well, no matter, Eugene here will tell
you all about him.” .
“ As for that matter I will see and j udgc
for myself,” returned the merchant brusquely.
“Where is he ‘2” looking around ; for this
rather personal and family conversation was
held on the wharf in the midst of'the gall:-
cred crowds. Sometimes the 1113?: private
spot is in the midst of tlie'grcatest throngs.
“ We expected him to be with us to greet
, you,"’.Constance replied, “but he has not
come yet.” , .
.Ii‘. Hazlitt here explained that Ilarry’s
room at the Tliotel was just across the hail
from his own, and that in the morning be-
fore he himself was up, Harry had opened
his door and said that he would ride down to
Waialua to the orange groves for some. blos-
soms for Constance, and be back as soon as
possible. i . .
“ How far is it 2"” asked Mr. lightineyer.
' “ Fully twenty—live miles,” answered Eu—
gene, “ I fear he will iidl returnbcforc noon,”
‘~‘ W'cll, it is not a Lad report to be made of
a lover, I must say,” returned Mr. Rightincy-
er, “ but for my part I should have preferred
to see him here. now and send for the blos-
soms by some one else. However, it is well
eriouglras it is. Only I advise you to keep
him to this devotion, Constance. Love of
that sort is even sweeter than the orange
flowers themselves. You see I am getting
practical and sentimental already, catching
the inspiration of the tropics the very mo-
ment I step on these fragrant shores.”
The carriage in which. they now seated
themselves soon brought them to the cottage,
and here the morning passed rapidly away.
Many friends of Constance, for she had all--
ready become quite intimately acquainted
with many delightful people, called to wel-
come her father. She herself was in a flush
of excitement over his coming and seemed to
his fond eyes radiantly betTutiful. Hazlitt
appeared toha've the same thought, too, and
was delicately .politc in his attentions, his
manner being chastened by a quiet tenderness 3
which vergcd on sadness. _
Dinner was delayed awhile by Mrsllolmes
in the hope of Blake’s coming in to jbin
thcni‘, but in this they were disappointed. It
passed without him, and they began to ex-
press surprise at his prolonged absence; but
just as they were ready to enter the carriage
for a drive, he came in. Mr. Right-incyer
was struck with his manly bearing, and after
the introduction noddedpapprovingly to Con-
stance in- a sort of theatrical aside. She
laughed and they all went off together. The
drive was to be up the Nuanu Valley which
leads straight out from the city into the in-
terior of the island, and commands at many
points charming views of the ocean and the
central. mountain range. The elegant residen-
cos of the wealthy Honoluluns are here seen,
and the whole city lies spread out over the
plain from which the road gradually rises.
When they reachedeucen Emma’s beautiful
country residence they started on their re-
turn, for part of their programme was to wit-
ness the departure of the Melbourne steamer.

every event is availed of to add variety, so
that Honolulans make a great deal over what
in larger centers of activity are quite ordina-
ry events. Auctions there usually draw great
crowds of ladies and gentlemen, and have
been humorously styled “ the Honolulu
opera.” The market at certain times is throng—

all attracts a large concourse. '
' Our friends in due season reached the es-
planadc and sat in their“ cari‘iagc chatting
gaily, while many similar vehicles were
dr: wn up around and crowds filled the wharf
and the steamer made ready to leave.
“ The sight. of a ship almost makes me sea-
sick again,” said Miss Rightmeyer. ' “ I have
not come to love the sea, notwithstanding
Captain IIolmes’ confident predictions to the
contrary.” » ‘
“He added another prophecy which has
not altogether failed,” put in Mrs Holmes
with a glance at Blake. ,
' Harry remarked, as if wishing to turn the
subject, “Constance is too delicately organi-
zed to endure the ill odors of a ship. The
smell of tar, steam, oil, bilge affects her un-
favorably. She should live in a bower of
roses or among delightful orange groves.”
“That reminds me that orange blossoms
take long to pluck,” said Mr. Rightmeyer in
a significant way. “ I though I should'nevcr
see you, Harry, and now that. I have seen.

lover. wil lridc twenty-live miles and back after
them. Can’t you get them in Honolulu?
“No, sir,” said Blake, “the groves are at
Waialua.” . *
Just then‘ the signal gun was fired ‘
which gave ten minutes warning. Harry
started in a'nervous way and appeared about
to descehd from the carriage. Then he'said:
“You must certainly see the blossoms. I
will send my native. man for them. He stands
out there in the crowd. Hazlitt must give
them to the bride, and Constance of course
will wear them.” .
_So saying, he sprang lightly from the car-
riage and disappeared in the_throng. He had
not been gone long before the cannon was
fired again, the gang‘plhnk was removed, and
the steamer began to swing off from the
wharf. Just then a young Kanaka or native
man stepped up to the carriage and put into
_‘ Eugenc’s hand a beautiful bouquet made up
of fragrant orange flowers, saying that Mr.
Blake tohl him to do so; Certainly he had
not had time to go to the house for them and
return. , -
‘.‘ Oh, how beautiful!” exclaimed Con-
stance, “but what Was it he said about
them?” she asked, as she took them from
Hazlitt. .
“He said that Eugene must give them to
you and you must wear them,” said Mr.
Rightmeyer. “But see, there he is-ou the
steamer! \Vhat in the world does this mean ‘3"
Startled'hy his wordsthey all looked eager-
] ', and mi. certainly there he stood on the
upper deck of the fast receding vessel watch-
ing their party with strangely sad and troubled
countenance. Constance at the sight dropped
the bouquet, lost color and sank helpless into
the armsof her father. To avoid attracting
attention the gentleman ordered the carriage
to be immediately driven away.

\Vell, that no one can answer better than
she herselfL—that Ipcrccived; and when the
grey whiter morning shown into my cold
room and chilled me to the bones, as I made
my coffee, I murmured, “Now I have de-
cided. . \Vhat must he, must be,” and I said
to “Frau Butoun, go to Bohnsacken’s shop,
and buyme‘a pairol‘ the nice yellow gloves
young lawyers always wear, when they are
on seine important business. They must be
very yellow.”
About eleven o’clock I put on my black
float-coat, black pants, shining- boots, and
new yellow gloves, placed my hat above the
whole, went to the looking-glass, and said
with good reason', “Is it possible—I shouldn’t
have known myself ! ” Then I glanced
around the room, and added, “ Things \von’t
probably remain in this state long.” I-look-
ed at my old slippers, which stood before
the bed, saying, “ ’ou’ll be astonished if all
goes well, and in ach weeks a pair of pretty
little shoes come to visit you.” '
I walked down the street, reached my
Uncle Matthias’s-door, and thought, “One
should be at peace with all the world, be-
fore he takes such a step ;” for I felt as if I
were going to execution. So I kiiocqud and-
Wciit in. ‘ '
Well, I’ve seen a great many things in this
world; Ionce saw a fellow eat fire; I once
saw a man eat tow and draw a beautiful silk
ribbon out of his mouth; but I was nev 'so
astonished as at the moment I belie my
Uncle Matthias that morning.
There he stood in his room inthe self-same
costume as I, only that his black coat was a
green hunting—shirt, and his yellow gloves
were of buckskin, while mine were kid, and
his white moustache hung over. his mouth
like a pair of icicles, and mine twisted up-
ward, and was all sorts of colors.
“ Uncle!” I cried, as I came in, and my
hat rolled off on the floor in my amaze-
ment. _-
“\Vliat _do you .want, my boy?” he re-
plied.
“ What do you want? ” I shouted.
“ I want 'what you donM,” he replied.
“ButI do want it. And,” I added, “I
only came here in this dress, to tell you that
I was too hasty, and ask you to be my dear
old uncle again.”
“ Is that what you want 2’” he said, sitting
down in his ami-cliair, and looking ' me
steadily in the_ face. “\l'ell, then,‘ I’ll tell
you that I was going to your house in this
dress to glve you a little fright. 'I learned
while I was a soldier that a little fright does
men ngJd, for then shame looines in. And,
my boy,” he said rising, and laying his hand
on my arm, “ I won’t stand in your way, and
make a wrinkle on the white sheet of your
happiness, for the little 'girl is born for yen,
and she is a good girl.” With these words
he gave my arm such a pinch with his huge
gold fist that I thought, “If she is like that,
'she is more than good.”
My uncle now brought out a glass of his old
port' wine, saying, “ Here, my boy,_ take
something _to strengthen you first. \Vherc
are you goine to begin 19",. ‘ i
N All ! " said I, “if Ionly knew.” .
“ Put your leg on the chair,” said be.
“Why ‘3” I asked.
“ Nothing,” he replied, unbuttoning the
straps of my pants, “_ only you must begin
”3' 1&1qu Uu yous nuuua, sou nun“. unseat m.
in your way." -
“ Well,” said I, “ you commence well.”.
i“ What is proper, must be done,” said he.
“ I never went through the affair myself,
but I’ve always seen it in pictures. What do
you say? Stop! I’ll help you!” and with
these words he hastily pulled out his chest
of drawers and ruinmaged in one that con-
tained his most sacred treasures. Yes, he
appeared with his book of genealogy. This
was rarely touclied,'and, when he did more
it, only in the evening when everything was
still. Then he first put on clean; linen and
his best clothes, placed, two lamps , on the
table, one on each side, pondered over every
page, read all the verses, and marked the
death-record with black crosses. The fol.
lowing morning he was always- very melan-
choly ; and the last time he looked at it he
.came to me the next morning, and said, “ So
far as I know, there is one alive still, Chris-
tian Banger, the son of old Banger, 'thc
tailor, who used to live the next door to my
parents. If Godsparcs my life, I’ll visit ‘hini
this summer." ' .
“Here! ” said be, when he had taken out
n
the book and laid it on the table, “sit
down here and look out a verse. and ‘learn it
by heart. There are some which pray to our
Lord in lieaven,—-no doubt you can also find
one for the best girl on earth.”
“ Uncle," said 1, taking the book and turn-
ing the leaves, “ I know what to do: I will
say what my heart dictates, and there is a great
deal in my heart to-day. I . .
“That’s well, my boy,” replied my uncle,
“ nay, perhaps, still better. Stop! he added,
as I was turning to leave the room, "‘ the.
white string on'your shirt is hanging half a
yard dowu your back,” and’hc fastened it
under the COIli’ “ There, now go in God’s
name.” , ~
I went; but asI left the house I heard a
noise over me, and when I looked up there
was Uncle Matthias stretching himself half
out of the window, nodding and winking at
me, and whenever I looked back oh my
way down the long street he nodded, and
waved his red pocket-handkerchief, till I was
afraid people might guess-nil. secret we had
between us. '
Imight tell a tale, but shall avoid doing so.
Such ’atfairs don’t go as smoothly in real life as
in novels. Ninety-nine out of every hundred
make the most absurd blunders on this occa-
sion; and, even if the whole hundred return
as the happiest betrothed bridegrooms, the
ninety and nine would still say to themselves,
“ God grant that We may never be in that fix
again, but, if we do undertakethc business,
.wc’ll manage more cleverly.“ God grant
that I may never be in that position again!
. At the end of an hour and a half I came
back, the happiest of men, and probably look-.
ed so; and as in my lonely bachelor life I had
acquired the habit of talking. to myself, I
cannot, on calm reflection, blame the people-
for moving out of the way as I came down
the street, and’ looking somewhat sharply at
me. When about three rods from my uncle‘s
house, be rushed forward to meet me, threw
.his_arms around my neck—he had'been stand-
ing outside the door the 'wliolc hour and a
half, watching for inc—and cried, “ Hold
your tongue ! hold your tongue ! I know all, '
and when will the wedding be? ”
I silenced him, saying, "‘ Hush ! At'least
wait until we are out of the street,” took him
by the arm, and dragged him home with me;
but when we came in, though Frau Butoun
was sitting the table for dinner, he could con-
trol himself no longer, lint poured out his
whole heart, and, when the woman stared at
him, pointed over his shoulder at me, saying,
“ Look there,”Frau Butoun, there he stands
—my sister’s son. He’s a betrothed bride-
groom.” And when Frau Butoun congratu-
lated ins, and wished to know who the fortu-
nate lady was,Ihad to hush him again; and
when she had gone he talked and looked at
me ver ' indignantly. I was a hypocrite, a
very obstinate fellow, and I had a black heart
if I could conceal such happiness so long.
I was obliged to sit down and tell him the
whole story, after which he became a little
more friendly, nodded,and said, “ Excellent;
then shook his head, remarking, “That was
not exactly to his mind.” When Iliad iold

haying-time, when his uncertain whether to
rain orlet the smi shine; he shook his heal
and nodded, nodded and shook his head, and
at last said, “For his part, lic-would have
done better ; ” and then asked at which verse
'of this chapterI had gone down on my
knees. I was obliged to confess that I had
not come to that at all. UncleMatthias took
his hat, saying, “ Well, then, I" wish you. a
good appetite. Hold fast to what you have,
the wolf will eat what comes after. You,
crowed too soon; kneeling is a part of every
betrothal, and the ,agrcnncnt is good for
nothing if it isn’t sealed on lnth knees. I
shouldn’t be in the least surprised if the
engagement ivas off to-tnorrow. Another
time take my advice!” With these words
he left the room. - ,
Nevertheless, wonderfully happy days now
dawned for ine,—wonderful happy days.’
Once more I might find much to tell, but I
[will refrain. The greatest joys and the
deepest sorrows must not be made public to
every one; and although I am ready to be-
lieve that all who read the lines are well-
bred, worthy people, some Hans Quest might
slip in among them, and make jokes at my
expense, and that would be extremely un-
pleasant to me. '
But every good honey-cake needs a sanil
sprinkling of pepper, and I, too, did not fail
to receive it. In the first place, my Uncle'
Matthias scattered a few grains: but when
he saw that the affair Was likely to last, and
had himself paid a friendly visit to my betroth-
ed, and ascertained her skill in‘cooking‘fricd
fish to his satisfaction, he dropped his spice
and dipped deep into his honey-pot—too
deep, I said, for he described my happiness
.to everybody who would listen to him in such
glowing terms, that so many flies were soon
buzzinginmy' honey-moon that I did not
comical stories were in’ circulation concern-
ing me as if I hadbecome not only a bride-
[was the object of jests whenever I appear-
ed. . At every fifth step in the, street some
fool grinned ethic, and if I asked what
there was to laugh at all said, as if they . had
nothing! ” If I went to my old club in the
evening—for that Iliad instantly announced
my intention of doing, I wouldn’t haVe given
it up under any circumstances, in the first
place because it was, so to speak, the home
of my mind, and
thought it conducive to my culture—well,
when I went there, there was a ,whispcriiig
riagc, and what he had' said rifle-r mar-
riage, and what the shepherd had said to his
dog; and if I grew. angry and asked what
they meant, and how the point concerned
me, all said, “Heaven forbid! we mean
nothing.” if .for these reasons Idid not go
to the club in the evening, Frau Butouii
opened her little pepper-‘nill, and scattered
the fine dust in my nose and eyes. Should
this-thing be color should it be so 30? She '
didn’t know whcrcI wanted this now. She
was an old woman, and had taken .care of a
great many gentlemen in her lifetime, but
none who were betrothed. I must have pa-
tience with her, for things would soon be
very different. And for‘ removing all this
stuff she thought I was perfectly right,_it was
who, she had heard, had been reared like a
cold water; but her eyes were too old to see

without thinking, “ God forgive 1113 'for my
heavy sins! I know very well. that this is
my Frau Butoun, and a Christian widow——
why must I always think of the distinguish-
ed people who dwell in aplace that is said to
be very hot? ‘ And when she blows the fire
why do I always think that possibly s0me-
body is sitting, blowing coals to warm up
my beautiful married happiness 9. little.”
- From this any one may suppose that my .5
seruples were not all thrown out of the win—
dow; and they became still worse as I
walked down the street one§afternoon on my
way from a visit to my' betrothed bride.
As I walked along the street on this day,
I heard a loud noise in the distance, the
people looked outiof the windows, and be-
fore one of the doors a little group had as-
sembled.’ Just as I was passing ,therdoor,
the furrie'r Obst shot but of his *shop and
landed in the gutter. “ Good heavens! ”
said his . neighbor Graun, “what are you
doing there ?” '
“ Oh ! that’s easy to tell,” said the furricr,
“ my womenkind pitched me out."
“ But why ? ’.’ asked the other.
“ I’ll tell you,” said the furrier, rising ;_
“my wife wants what I want, and I don’t
want this." ' _
As this story gave me' no information, I
walked on, thinking, “It’s some foolish
proverb. What does the fellow mean ? ‘ My
wlfe wants what I want, and 'I don’t want
this.’ ' You must ask Uncle Matthias about
' n '
1t'So Iwent to his house related the incident,
repeated the words, and asked. “Uncle,
what does the fellow mean by it?”
_ . “ \Vliy?" said be, walking thoughtfully
u and down the room, “ and the fellow
was thrown out by his womenkind,‘you
sa ?” y .
“ Yes,” I replied, “ he said so himself.”
“ And he was sitting in the gutter ? ”
H 1?es.ll
“ Well,” said my uncle, after a few mo-
ments’ retleciimi, “then this ‘ was probably
his meaning, for his wife threw him out, and
and that would agree with this proverb,
for it runs, ‘ My wife wants to be master in
the house, and I want to be master too; and

I don’t know why this conversation made

never looked at my design from this point.
“ Uncle,” said I, “ you know me, and know
her too. Which of us do you think will be
master in the house ? ” I . ' .
“ Why," aid lie, “ she doesn’t seem to me
at all as if She would like to sit outside the
house in the gutter. I believe she .would
rather remain indoors.” ’
I “ The devil! ” I exclaimed. .
“‘ Oh : she probably wouldn’t make it so
bad as that,” said Uncle Matthias; “ she
would doubtless exert a gentle, feminine rule,
as people call it, over you,—y0u would be
somewhat tightly tied to her apron—string.”
“ I’m not afraid of that,” said I; “ after
the marriage I’d soon get her out of the
habit of having the first bushel of rye.” .
“Don’t rely upon’ that,” said my uncle.
“ You know the proverb: '
Before the wedding-tame your mate,
After the wedding ’its too late.”
' “ No," I replied,’ “that’s something new,”
and looked asif my uncle had told me I had
been made pope. .

began the story. " .
“ In Rumpelmannshafin, .wlicrc I spent
the. first ygars of my,apprenticcship, lived
two fine young fellows, one namcd' Wolf,
who was a blacksmith in the village, and the
other named Kiwitt, who Was a. miller. The
smith was smart and knew what he was doing,
the miller was stupid, but had money. ' Well, in
due. time a rumor ran through the village :
‘_Gossips, have you all heard ? The smith
and the miller arc courting the magistratc's
Sophie and Marie, and they say the weddings
will come'oll‘ at Martininag.’ And it” proved
true. They were both married at Martinmas,
and the old father gave a splendid Wedding,
and we young people were invited ; and I
remember to this day wluit jolly times we
had, for towards morning Ludwig Brook-
inann turned a mug of beer, over my head,
and when I was angry, said ‘ One ought
surely to take a joke.’ After the wedding
everything went Smoothly for a time, but
ere long therb was a whisper in the village:
‘Gossipsrhave you heardthc news? The
millcr's wife beats her husband.’ And this
was true. One Sunday afternoon the miller
came to the smith, who was sitting in the iim'
playing solitaire. ‘ Well,’ said the. former, I
‘ I know what has happenedto you ,to-dayi’.
“ ‘ How so‘ ? ’ asked th‘ ith, néiilg star

‘ I must tell you I have gone into excellent

“ ‘ Yes,’ said the miller, ‘when she ifl’t

lastly, I broke three teeth out of her comb,

that too, and so the thing has remained; she
is satisfied With everything. But -I must go

in, saying, ‘~Come out here, Wolf! Kiwitt
the miller is standing outside in a pitiful
plight.’ ‘
“ The'mnith went out, found his brother-
in-‘law with a scratched face and swollen eyes,
and; not a little startled, asked, ‘Why,
Kiwitt, what’s the matter now .9 -
“ ‘ch, that’s all very well to say,’ re-
plied the miller; ‘this comes of your con-
founded stories.’
“ ‘ How so '9" asked the smith.
“ ‘Yes, ask once more,’ said the miller.
'Ircmembered your nonsensical story, and
thought what had served with one sister
might serve with the other; at least I might
try it. So I went home. My wife was
standing before the looking-glass brushing
her hair, and on the table lay her; best cap,
I said to myself, “ This is a lucky chance,"
took the cap, and thought, “If you throw it
into the dirty water in the wash-basin, it will
be just 'the thing.” Well, I did so; and she
saw my movements in the looking-glass,
and before I hadaany idea what was coming
scratched me in the face, and when I said,
“ Marie, you have me, and can easily get
another cap!” she shouted, “Yes, I have
you, and you shall get your pay for the
cap.” . And see,’ said the miller, passing his
hand over his swollen eye, ‘this is what she ‘
(lid, and all on accodnt of your confounded
story.’ ‘
“ ‘You simpleton,’ replied the smith,
‘didvi't I tell you I played the trick be are

“And this is the stdry, my son,” said my
Uncle Matthias, rising; “and, if you are
wise, you can act accordingly.” _
I also rose, walked to the window, thought
the story over in my mind, and at last turn-
cd, saying, “It’s a confounded anecdote,
uncle. ' You generally ~tell much better

“Yes," cried my uncle laughing, “because
I generally tell you 'thc practical application

“You don’t expecting to throw my be.

The old man laughed s ill more, and at

“Oh, I don’t care," he replied, “I was

' “Foolish acts ? ” I asked:

Dwmu'r L. MOODY axe Rev. DR. PLUMER.
It was near midnight. The close of the
year was near at hand. The Depot Church
was crowded. Twelve thousand persons sat
listening intently to the words of the earnest
evangelist. Mr. Moody had concluded a ser-
mon from the text, “How long halt. ye be-
tween two opinionS? If the Lord be God, fol-
low him; but_ if Baal, then follow him.”
“The smith went intche tavern, b1“ at The‘appeal had come home With power to Special attention paid to country residences. ly‘.
many who now longed for words of personal
counsel, or whowere burdened with anxious
doubt. An ordinary inquiry meeting, such
as usually follows Mr. Moody’s sermons was
not practicable then and there; for the servi-
ces in the main room were to continue until
the new year opened. Said Mr. Moody:
“You always show an~intercst in the inquiry
meetings. I often see some of you who are
outside looking in at the doors to see what is
going on in there. Some-of you 'have been
in there. Some of you would like to go there
to-night; but we’ve no chance for such 2a
meeting now. So I propose to turn this whole
meeting into an inquiry-meeting. Here is the
Rev. Dr. Plumcr, of South Carolina. _ He is sev-
enty-four years old. He has been living‘ on bor-
rowed time for four years. For fifty-five years
he has been sitting at the feet of Jesus. I’m
going to put him on to the witness stand, and
question him before you all. Dr. Plumer,
will you take the pulpit.” '
The venerable clergyman, with his com-
manding form ”and. patriarcbial presence,
arose, and with tremulous movements took
the stand-before the vast congregation. He
gave his Bible giecting'from the seventy-third
Psalm to the waiting hearers. Mr. Moody
plied him with questions in his own peculiar
way. . In reply, every word was spoken with
deep feeling as if under a sense of weighty
responsibility in thus witnessing for the Lord.
The questions and answers as given are. re-
ported in substance by Mr. Moody. It was a
most impressive service. Many asoul pres-
ent seemed to feel himself the questioner,
and to listen as for his life to the answer. In
that solemn hour it was as it' God’s prophecy
for the latter days was fulfilled r “ And I will
give power unto my two witnesses.” . Their
speech and their “preaching was not with
enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in de-
monstration of the Spirit and of the power.”
Philadelphia Sunday-School Times.
The correspondent of the New York 0b-
.icruer writes: These queries the venerable
clergyman answered with wonderful clear-
ncss, comprehensiveness and auction. His
voice increased in power with each succeed-
ing answer. His mind seemed translucent
with the light of God’s word. Ills majestic
form, piercing eyed snowy beard, and power-
ful utterances, all combined to form a scene
strongly suggestive of the re-appearance of
the prophet Elijah among the hosts of Israel.

A gentle whisper in my ear:

BY MAJORY WEST. .
Grandniamma sat in hit quaint arm-chair;
Never was lady more sweet and fail-i
Her gray locks ripple like silver shells;
And her placid brow her story tells .
Of gentle life and peaceful even—
A rest in-God and a hope in heaven.
Little girl May, sits rocking away
In her own low seat, like some Winsome fay;
Two doll babies her kisses share. ‘ ’
And another one lies by the side of her chair.
May is as fair as the morning dew ;
Cheeks of roscshand ribbons of blue.
" Say, Grandinamma." says the pretty elf,
“ Tell 'me a stony about yourself. .
When'you were little what- did you play ?.
Were you good or naughty the whole long day?
Was'it hundreds and hundreds of years ago ?
And what makes your soft hair as white as
snow ? ‘ ‘
“ Did you have a inaminn to hug and kiss fl
And a dolly like this” and this, and this?
Did you have a pussy like my little Kate?
Did you go to bed when, the clock struck eight?
Did you have long curls and beads like mine?
And a new silk apron and ribbons flue?
Grandmnmma smiled at the little mad,
And laying aside her knitting she sari, -
“ Go to my desk, an a red box yo__,
Carefullydift it and bring it to me."u‘
So May put her dollies away and ran,
Saying, “I’ll be as careful as ever I can."
Then grandinamma opened her box, and lo!
A beautiful child with throat like snow : “ ~
Lips just tinted like'pink shells rare,
Eyes of hazel and golden hair;
Hands all dimpled, and teethi’llke )e
Fail-estanmpweetest of‘littlc; ' I I
May lo .. n‘gflfi’thc diniplcd grace,-
And then at the s1int-like;‘fair;old face—
" How funny,” she cried with iris‘mile and a
kiss, - . — .
“ To have such a dear grandmamnia ssithis. ‘ -
Still,” she added, withsnnihngm s;
'-“ I think, dear gmndmammj ‘ you best.”
Shifty—rimmed on the old mohair, ~
And grandmamma told her story there; -
.What plays she played, what toys she had,
How at times she was naughty or good'or bad.
.“ But the best thing youhlid," said May,
‘ gon’t you see? ' ‘1 ‘ ,'
W _ ’fqgrow a beautiful grandiii’siiiina fgir me.”
