"He will be fit for nothing,"eaid my
father; “ an awkward booby who holds his
awl and cuts his food with his left hand."

no said my father, and so, alas! I felt. I
was awkward. I was fifteen; thick-act.
strong, but clumsy
ler nor sew a pair of blinkers, nor stuffs

 

 

 

able to do. My fingers seemed to have no
mechanical feeling in them. I was awkward,
and I knew it. and all knew it.

I was good»tcmpered; could write fairly,
and read anything; but I was awkward with
my limbs; they seemed to have wills of
their own; and yet I could dance as easily
and lightly as any of my neighbon’ sons.

“ I don‘t know what he‘s fit for," said my
father to the rector of the parish. “ I‘ve
sent him to carpenteriug, and be cut his
finger nearly off with an axe; then he went
to the smith, and burned his hands till he
was laid up for a month. It‘s all of no use;
he spoils me more good leather in a week
than his earnings pay for in a mouth. \Vhy
can not he, like other Christians, use his
hands as the great God meant him to? There!
Look at him now, cut-ting that back stmp
for the squire with h'n left hand." .

I heard him ; the knife slipped, and the
long strip of leather was divided in a moment
and utterly spoiled. -

“There now ! look at that. A piece out of
the very middle of the skin, and his finger
gushed into the bargain."

The rector endavorcd to swthc my fa-
ther's anger while I bandaged my finger.

“ You'd better let him come up for that
vase, Mr. Walters; I should like a case to fit
it, for its very fragile, as all that old Italian
glass '3; and line it with the softest leather,
please"

And so I ueut with the rector to bring
back the vase, taking two chamois leathers
to bring it in.

We reached the house, and I waited in the
passage while he went to fetch it. Become
back with a large vase, carefully wrapped in
the leaulem Alas! At the: moment there
came from the room, against the door oi
which I was standing, the sound of a voice
ringing. a voice that thrilled me through—-
a voice I hear now as I write these lines—so
clear, so sweet, so pure, it was as if an angel
had revealed itself to me.

I trembled, and forgot. the precious burden
in my hands; it dropped to the ground and
was shattered to pieces.

How shall I describe the rcctor’a mgc ‘: I
fear he said something for which he would
have blushed in his calmer moments, and
she came out.

She who had the angel-voicc—bis niece—
came out, and I saw her. I forgot the dia-
aster, and stood specchlassly gazing at her
face.

“ You awkward scoundrel! look at your
work. Thirty pounds! Fifty pounds! Au
invaluable treasure gone irreparabiv in a

‘i a moment! \Vhy don’t you speak? Why did
. you drop it :3"

“ Drop it,” I said, walking up. “ Drop
what 1'” And then it flashed upon me again,

last and I simmered out, “she aangi"

rectory gate was closed against nae.

I led a miserable unhappy life for the
next three years; I had only one consola-
tion during the whole of that weary time. I
saw her at church and heard her sing there.
I could hear nothing else when she sang,
clear and distinct, above the confused nasal
sounds that came from the voices of others
—l1crs alone pure, sweet, and good. It was
a blessed time. I would not miss a Sunday's
service in church for all that mtht od'er.
Three good nn'les every Sunday there and
heck did I heavily plodmhearhes'PInd feel
rewarded. I shared herjoys and linemen
I knew when she v1 as happy, when oppreu‘
ed ; as a mother knows the tones of her
child‘s voice, to the minutest shadeof difler-
ence, so I could tell her when her heart was
light and when and.

One Sunday she sang as I had never yet
heard her, not loudly, but so tenderly, so
lovingly; I knew the dingo had come—she
loved; it thrilled in her voice; and at the
evening service he was there. I saw him.
A soldier, I knew, by his bearing,wit.h cruel,
hard, gray eyes; and she song, I knew it. I
detected a tremble and gratitude in the notes,
I felt she was to suffer as I had suffered; not.
that I sang. I had no voice. A harsh, gut-
tural sound was all I could give utterance to.
lcould whistle like a bird, and often and
often have I lain for hours in the shade of
a tree andjo‘tned the concerts of the woods.

One day 1 WE whistling, as was my wont,
as I went through the street, when l was
tapped on the shoulder by an old man, the
cobbler of the next pariah. I knew him from
his coming to my father for leather occa-
aiuually.

“ Saul, where did you learn that?"

" Learn what!"

“ That tune."

“ At church."

" You‘ve a good car, Sam.”

" l'vo nothing else good, but 1 can whis-
tle anything."

“Can you whistle me the Morning Hymn?”

I did so.

“ Nothing."

" Like in?"

" I'd give all i have in the world lubcable
to play anything My soul's full of music.
I can't sing a note, but I could play anything
if I were taught."

“ So you shall Sam, my boy. Comt- home

with me. Carry tho-so skills, and you shall
begin at once."
I went home with him, and found that he

was one of the players in the choir of his
parish, his instrumenhbeing the Violoncello.
I took my first lesson and from that time
commenced a new life. Evening after even-
ing, and‘ometimes during the day, I wan-
dered over to his little shop, and while he
sat, stitch, stitch, at the boots and shoes, I
played over and over again all the music I
could get from the church.

“ You've a beautiful fingering, 5am, my
boy, beautiful, and though it does look a lit~
tle awkward to see you how ing away with
your left, it makes no difference to you. You
ought to be a fine player, Sam."

I was enthusiastic, but I was poor. I want-
ed an instrument of my own, but I had no
money, and I earned none—I could earn
nouv. My parents thought, and perhaps
rightly, that if they found me food and
clothing I Was well provided for, and so for
some twelve months 1 used the uldcobbler‘s
instrument, improving daily. It was strange

for every other impulse should, under the
influence of sound move with such precis-
ion, ease and cxactncsa

“ Sam, my boy," said thawbbler,onc day,

y 011 shall have an instrument, and your
father shall buy it for you, or the wholepar
‘sh shall cry shame upon him.‘

“ But he don‘ t. know a word 1:! this," I
said.

“ Never mind, Sana, my boy, he shall be
glad to know of it; and he told me his plans.

At certain times it was customary for the
choirs of neighboring churches to help each
other, and it was arranged that the choir of
our par-id: should play and sing on the next
Sunday morning at his parish church and
that he and his choir should come over to
our parish for the evening service.

" And you, Sam.” said he, “ shall take my
place in your own church; and please God,
you do as well there as you’ve done here, it
will be the proudest day I shall know, Sam,
my boy, and your father and mother will
say a: too.“

How I-practiced morning, noouandoight,
for the great day , how the old man darkly
hinted at a prodigy that was to befortheom~
ing at the festival; and. then the day itself,
with the events—all is as vivid before me as
if it were but yesterday.

Thc‘evening came; and there, in the din-
lit gallery I sat waiting, with my master her
side Inc. v

“Sam, my bov,”soid my master, "it’sa

Hy father bought me a finciastrumeut;
and I wastfl hero of the village forainonth.

It was sonic days after the Sunday um I
ventured as ‘& about the rectors niece.

“ My our boy," said my mother; " the
like was fixer beard. We aw you there
and. wonderedwhatyou weredoiag; but”
soonaaweawyouwith thebow,weknavr
you must be the person there’d been so much
talk about; and then, when the anthem
came. and we all left of singing, and they
all left OE playing, and only you and Kiss
Cecelia kept on, we were all in tears. I saw
even the rector crying; and,poor girl, she
seemed as if in a dream, and so did you; it
was dreadful for me to see you with your
eyes fixed on her, watching her so eagerly.
And then to look at her, staring up at the
stained glass window as if she could see
through it, miles and miles away into the
sky. Oh , I‘m sure, the like never was! and
then, when you fell down I screamed, and
your father ran up and carried you down
and brought you home in Farmer Blade's
four-wheeler."

After this 1 had an invitation to go up to
the rectory, and there, in the long winter
evenings, we used to sit; and while I played
she sang. Oh, those happy times! when she
loved me, but only as a dear friend ; and I
loved her as I never had loved before or
could love again, I do not know the kind
of love I had for her. I was but a little old
or than she was, but I felt as a father might
feel- to his daughter; a sweet tenderness and
love that made me pitiful to her. I knew
she loved a man unworthy of her, and I
think, at times, she felt this herself, and
knew I felt it.

I was perfectly free of the rector'a house
at last, and we used to find in our music a
means of converse that. our tongues could
not have known. Ah! inc—those days 1——
thev are gone.

She left us at last, and in a few years her
motherleea child came back in her place, and
as I again all in the old rectory parlor, years
and yearsafler my first visit, wuh her daugh-
ter beside me singing—but. elm! not with
her mother‘s voice—all the old_memorlea
flood back upon me, and I feel agrateful.
calm joy in the openly~shown respect and
aflection of the daughter of her whom I loved
so silently, so tenderly, and so long.

I sit in the old seat in the church now and
play; and, once in the year, the old anthem;
but thc voice is gone that filled the old
church as with a glory that day. I feel, an
the sounds swell out, and the strings vibrate
under my withered fingers, I am but wait-
ing to be near her under the yew tree out-
side, and it may be, nearer to her still in the
longed-for future.

INTELLECT IN BAGS.

It was a bleak, wintry day. Heavy snow
drifts lay piled up in the streets of New
York, and the whole appearance of the city
was cold and dim

Seated upon the steps of one of the large
dwellings on Fifth avenue was a boy appar-
ently thirteen years of age. He was literally
clothed in rags, and his hands were blue, and
his teeth chattcred with cold. Lving on his
knees win a newspaper he had picked up in
one of the streets, and he was trying to read
the words on it. He had thus occupied
himself for some time, when two little girls,
clad in silk' and furs, came toward him.

The eldest was about twelve years of age,
and so beautiful that the poor boy fixed his
eyes upon her in undiaguised admiration.

The child of wealth stopped before him,
and turning to her companion. exclaimed.-

“Mariam, just see this fellow on mystepsl

Lonim laughed again and said tothe boy:
“ Get up from here, you shall not sit on my
steps; you are too ragged and dirty."

The boy arose and a blush crimsoned his
face. He was wilking away, when Harlem
said: I ‘

mother. Mr; Gardner moved in an exclu-
sive circle, the ban fan of New York. With-
out its precincts she never ventured, except
to visit her mother's friends, and was grow-
ing up believing herself even better than
they. '

The teaching that. Marian Hayerreceived
was totally diferent from this. Mrs. Gard-
ner was one of Mrs. Hayes’ most particular
friends—vet, though she moved in that cir-
cle, she was far from one of them. Her
doctrinewas the teat hex-girl had used—
“ The rich and the poor meet together, and
the Lord is Maker of them all.” This she
taught. Mariam. There was no distinction
in wealth or position—that the distinction
was in worth alone. She taught her to rev-
erence age and pity the poor and destitute;
and that pleasant words were as sweet as
honeycomb—sweetie” aonl;.alittle kind-
ness was better than money. Marina lurned
the lesson well, and was ever ready to dis-
