'' Patience balh borne ll.e brniae. and I tbe stroke." " I think she's a siukin', Doctor," observed old Aunt Riiody, tbe nurse, as she came out of Mary ScrantoD's bed-room, iuto the clean kitchen, where Doctor Parker sat before the lire, a hand on either knee, staring at the em¬ bers, and looking very grave.
Doctor Parker got np from tbe creaky chair, and went iuto the bed room. It was very small, very clean, aud two sticks of wood on the old irou dogs burned away gradually, aud softened the cool April air.
Before this pretence of a fire sat an elderly woman, with grave, set featurea, au expression of sense and firmness, but a keen dark eve
It waa a; new thing and a hard thing for Lo- vinia Perkins to have a baby on her hands ; (ehe wonld rather have oharged heraelf with the care of a farm, or the building of a honee; ehe could work, she conld order, plan, regu¬ late and exeonte; but what to do with a babyf Tbere it lay, helpless, soft, incapable, not to be Boolded, or worked, or made responsible in any way» the most impraotioable creatnre jpoislbld; a kitten sbe coald hare pat hato a basket at ntght, aud set in the shed; a puppy ahe could and would have drowned; but a baby, au unlncky, red, aoreeohing oreatuie^ with a soul, was worse than all other evils.— However, ahe oouldn't let it die; so she went after some milk, and, with Annt Rhody's help, I after mnch patient disgnst, tanght the child how to live, and it lived.
Mary Soranton was baried next to Tom, and the June grass grew over both their graves* and people thought no more abont it; only every now and then Dootor Porker came to Miss Perkin*B house to ask after *' baby," who grew daily fat and fair and smiling; and on one qf these occasions he met the minister, Parson Goodyear, who had come, aa Miss 'Viny expressed it, '*'d pnrpose to take me to do,, because I.ha Vt presented the ohild for bap¬ tism."
" Faot is,*' oontinned she, *' I ha*n't an idea what to call b^ I don't favor oallin' of her Mary, becanae that was her mother's name« and I cou^dnH think of two on 'em at ouce i aud Scripter names are generally rather ha'sh. Miss Parker, Doctor, kind of favored her bain' called Aribelly, because there waa one of that name rather come over in the Mayflower; bnt I think it*3 too mighty for a child that's got to work; what do yoa say?"
«I think you're right Miss 'Viny," said the Doctor, aa gravely aa he could. " I dou't be¬ lieve in fine names myself. I should think you might do worse than to call the baby Con¬ tent; that was your owu mother's name^ wasnHitf and it was the laat word Mary spoke."
"Well, now, that's (jaite au idea, Doctor! j guess Iwill."
"And yon will present her on the firat Sab¬ bath iu May ?" said Parson Qoodyear,
"Well, yes, if I'm spared," aaid Aunt 'Viny; and, being spared, on that sweet May" Sunday she oarried the smiling little child np the aisle of the meeting-house, and had it baptized Content.
Strange to say,—yet not all strange,—before it was a year old, the baby had found its way quite down into the middle of Aunt 'Viny's heart. To be sure, it was a deal of trouble; it would ache and cry in a reasonless way, when nobody could tell what ailed it; it would take a great amount of caring-for with ungrateful silence and ntter want of demonstration for a longtime;—but then it waa ao helpless!— irresistible plea to a woman I—and under all i j Misa 'Viny'a rough exterior, her heart waa as
raised quesiion of ht^r temper.   Miss Lovina
Perkins was her style, I eing half-aaut to the | sweet as tbe kernel of a bnttemnt, though
nnpleasanl-colored   baby   sbe   now   tended, i a^o^t as hard to  discover.   Tme, she was
rolled up iu a fiannel shawl, and permitted to i be stnpid undisturbedly, since its motber was dying.
Dying, evidently; she had not been con¬ scious for several honrs. Her baby bad not had ils welcome; sbe knew notbing, cared for nothing, felt nolhiug but the chill of the blood that stood still in her veins, and tbe choking of the heart tbat hardly beat.
Poor child I poor widow 1 Her head lay on the pillow, white aa the linen, but of a differ¬ ent tint,—tbo indescribable pallor that you know and I know, who have Eef»n it drawn over a dear face,—a tint tbat is best nnknown, that canuotbe reproduced by pen or pencil.— Yet, for all ita pallor, you saw at once that this face was StiU young, had been lovely, a trne Kew England beauty, quaint and trim and delicate as the slaty-gray suow-bird, with ita white breast, and soft, bright eyes, that haunts tbe dusky fir-trees and dazzling hill¬ side slopes when no other bird dare sbow itself,—a quiet, sby creature, full of innocent trust and endurance, its chirp and low repeti¬ tion dearer than tbe gay song of lark or robin, because a wintry song.
Bat Mary Perkins bad never been called handsome in Deerfield; if tbey said she was "a real pretty girl," it only meant kindly and gentle, in the Connecticut vernaculer; and Tom Scranton, tbe village joiner, was firat to find out that the delicate, oval face, with iU profuse brown hair, its mild hazel eyes, and Bmiling month, waa "jeat like a pictur'." So Tom and Mary duly fell iu love, got married— nobody objecting,—went West, and eigh^ montha afterward Mary came home with a coffin. Tom had fallen from a ladder, t)een taken up and bronght home dead, and she had travelled back five hundred miles to bnry him in Deerfield, beside his fatber and mother; for he was their only son.
There were abont a handred dollars left for Mary. She could not work now, and ehe went to board with her half sister, the Deer¬ field taiioresa.
Mary Scranton was only nineteen ; but sbe did not want to live,—not even for her baby'a aake.   All her sunshine and ber strength went out of tbis world witb Tom, and sbe had no energy to care to live witbout him.   She did not aay ao to hersister;-forMiss 'Viny would have scolded her smartly,—nor did she tell Doctor Parker; but the prayed about it, and kept it in her heart all tboae silent days tbat fihe aat sewing baby clothes, and looking for¬ ward to an hour that ahould, even through a death agony, take her to Tom.    She thonght the baby wonld die, too, and tben tbey sbould all be togetber ; for Mary had a positive tem¬ perament, without hope, beoause witbont im¬ agination ; what she had possessed and lost eclipsed with her all uncertainties of tLe fu¬ ture ; and she thonght seven times of Tom where she once thonght of her child, thoagh she took pains to make its garments  ready, and knit ita liny socks, and lay the lumbering old cradle, that she had been rocked in, with" soft and warm wrappingB, lest, indeed, tbe child ahould live longer than its mother.   So she sat in Miss 'Viuy's bed-room, iu an old rush-bottomed rocking-chair, sewing and sew" ing, day afier day, tbe persistent will and in¬ tent to die working out its own fulfilling, hei white lipa growing more and more bloodless, her transparent cheek more wan, aud the tem¬ ples, from wh'ch her lustreless bair was care¬ lessly knotted away, getting more hollow and clear and sharp-angled.
And now she lay ou tbe bed, one hand nu¬ der hercbeek, the other picking restlessly at the blanket,—for couscTonsneas was fluttering back.
«*Give me the brandy," Aunt Rhody," said Doctor Parker, softly.
He ponred a few drops into tbe spoon she brought, and held it to Mary's lips. The potent fluid stung tbe nerves into life again, and quickened the flickering cireulation ; her thin fingers lay quiet, her eyes opened and looked clear and calm at the Doctor. He tried to rouse her with au interest deeper to most b     women than their owu agouy or languor.
" You've got a nice little girl, Mary," said he, cheerfully.
The ghost of a smile lit her face. "I'm content," ahe aaid, in a low whisper. Aunt Rhody bronght the baby and laid it on ita mother'a arm. Tbe child atirred and oried, but Mary took no notice ; her eyea were fixed and glazing. Suddenly she amiled a briUiant amUe, stretched both arms upward, droppmg her baby from its place. Only for one moment that recognizing look defied death and wel¬ comed life; her arma dropped, her jaw fell	
Itwas over.
" I guesa you'd better take the baby mto the kitchen, Jliss Lovmy," said Aant Rhody; ** tisn't considered lucky to keep 'em ronnd where folks has died."
"Luck ain't anything," grimly returned Lovinlft.who had squeezed her tears baok, lest the twoor three that inolihed to faU.should flpot the baby'i blanket j "but Pm going to
hard of feature, and of speech, aa hundred of I New-England women are. There lives are ' hard, tbeir hnsbanda are harder and stonier than tbe fields tbey half-reclaim to raiae their daily bread from, their exialence is labor and endarance; no grace, no beauty, no soft leis¬ ure or tender caress mitigates the life tbat weara itself away on wash-tubs, cbeese- presses, chums, cooking-stoves, and poultry; bnt truth and strength and parity lie clear in these rocky basins, and love lurk like jewel at the bottom,—visible only when aome divine san-ray lighta it op,—love aa true and deep and heaUhy as it ia silent aud unknown.
So Mias 'Viny'a hardness gave way before "baby." Sbe could not feel unmoved the tiny groping hands about her in the nigbt, the soft beatings of the little heart against her arm, the round downy head that would nestle on her neck to be rocked asleep; ahe could not resist that exquisite delight of miaerable, exacting, feminine nature,—the knowledge that one thing in the world loved her better tban anybody else. Sorry am I to betray tbia weaknesa of Annt 'Viny'a—aorry to know how many strong-minded, intellectual, higbly edu- cased and refined women will object to tbia mean and jealous sentiment in a woman of like passions with themselves. I koow, my¬ self, tbat a lofty love will regard the good of tbe beloved object first, and itself laat—that jealousy ia a paltry and ainful emotion : but, my dear creatures, I can't help it,—ao it was. Aud ifany of yon can, with a aerene counte- n.iuce and calm mind, see your hnsband de¬ vote himself to a much prettier, more agreea¬ ble, younger woman than yourself—or hear yonr own baby scream to go from yon to some¬ body else,—or even behold your precious fe¬ male friend, your "congenial sonl," as tbe Rosa Matilda literature hath it, fascinated by a yt ung woman or young man to the neglect of yourself,—althongh in one and all of theae instances the beloved objeot seeks his or her best good,—then let tbat auperhuman female throw a stone at Aunt 'Viny; but for the present ahe will not be lapidated.
Never indeed, had ahe been quite as happy ' aa uow.    Her life bad been a routine of bard ¦¦ work.   Love and marriage had never looked over the pailings at her; and—to tall tbe truth —she had not sufl'ered by tbeir negleot, in her own estimation.    Sbe was one of those super¬ numerary women wbo are meant to do other people'a work in life: servants, nursea, con* solera ; accepting their part with unconscious humility aa a matter of courae ; qnite as  good aathe Santas an Santisaimas  of legend  and chronicle, aud not nearly so   intrusive.   So tbis new phase had its   own aweetneas and special charm for Aunt 'Viuy ;  tbe happiest boat in her day lyiug between daylight and dark, wben waiatcoata andjacketfi and trouserg were laid aside, the .lim light forbidding her to sew, and economy delaying the lamp,—so sbe could with a clear conacience spare half an hour, while the tea-kettle boiled, for un¬ dressing " baby," rabbing tbe little creature down,—mnch as a groom might have done, only wilh a loving louch not kept for borsea— I eudowing it with a long night-gown, and toast¬ ing its sheU-pink feet at the fire, till, between tbe luxury of eaae and warmth and tending, "baby" oooed herself to sleep, and lay along Miss 'Vinty's lap like a petted kitten, tbe firelight playiug aoft lights over its fair headi sealed eyelids, and parted Hps, tinting the re¬ laxed arm and funny dimpled fist with a rosy glow, while Aunt 'Viny's face took on a ten¬ der brooding gleam that uobody who had seen her in obnrch on Sanday, severely crunching fennel, or looking daggers at nanghty boys, could bave believed possible.   But this ex¬ pression is an odd wonder-worker.   I saw but the otherday a bad-eyed, bronzed, "hard-fav¬ ored" Yankee, with a head all angles, a dirty face, the air ofa terrified calf, and the habili¬ ments of a poor farmer; I looked at bim aris¬ tocratically, and thanked the tord for my mind, my person, and my manners, iu tme Fharalaaio triumph,—when hia little blue- eyed daaghter came round the corner and palled at the Uil of his ragged coat.   Why the man was transflgaredl   I wondered he was willing to shake handa with me when I left him; I knew before that hia hands were brown and big and dirty, and mine were little and wbite and aoap scented; but I thonght afterwards I'd aa lief have been Peter as my¬ self just then,—and I think ao 'still.   Where¬ fore, young ladies all, leam from this that the
tme oestus, fabled No I   I shall make an
esaay on that matter some day; I will not in¬ flict it here. -^ So, by dint of bard work, Aunt 'Viny brought np her dead sister's child iu the way it shoald go, nor ever for one moment gmdged her la¬ bor or her time. Neither did she apoil Con¬ tent by over indulgence; her good sense kept the ohild nnhamied, taught her hardy and self-reliant habits,' made her nseful all the time, and, evenif Nature had uot been before¬ hand with her, woubl'bive-made her happy. Bnt Tenty had hor Yather^f firm aud sunny oharaoter; Bheneveroxfedbutforgoodreaiobf
and then screamed luatUy and waa over with it; fretting waa oat of the question,—ahe did not kuow how ; her apeoial faults where a strong'will and a dogged obstinacy,—faulta Misa' Viny trained iusiead of eradicating; so that' Tenty emerged from dlstriot-sohool into the "Cademy'a" higher honora as healthy and happy.an individual aa ever arrived at the goodly age of fourteen withoat a ailk dreas or a French shoe to peaoock heraelf withal. Every moming, rain or shine, ahe carried her tin pale to Poolor Parker'a for milk, hung on the teakettle, set the Uble, wiped tha diahea, weeded a bit of the prolific onion-bed, then washed her bauds and braahed her hair, put on tho greeu ann-bonnet or the blue hood, as the weather pleased, and trotted off to sohool^ wbere she plodded over fraotiona, and wearied heraelf out with Amerioan history, and cram¬ med geography, and wrote oopies for a whol^' year, when Aunt 'Viny thoaght ahe might leara her trade, being a atout girl of fifteen, and the 'Cademy knew no more.
There ia but ^ittle hicident in a New Bng- and village of the Deerfield atyle and size,— full of common-place people, who live com¬ monplace lives, in the aame wbite and brown and red houaea they were bora in, and die re¬ spectably, in tbeir beds, and are quietly buried among the mulleins anddewberry-vinea inth^ hill-aide graveyard. Mary Scranton's life and death, thongh they poaseaaed the elementa of a trafiedy, were diveated of their tragio inter. est by this oalm and penaive New England atmosphere. Nothing so romantic had hap¬ pened there for manyyears, or did ocour again for more; yet nobody knew a romance had come and gone. People in Deerfield lived their livea with a view to tbia world and the next, after the old Faritanio fashion somewhat modi- fled, and ao preaerved the eqailibrium. No apecial beaaty of tbe town attraoted aammer viaitora. It waa a village of one atreet, inten¬ ded to be straight, crossing a deoorons brook that turned tbe mill, and parting itself just be¬ low the church and the "store," to accommo¬ date a small "green," where the geese wad¬ dled, hissed, and nibbled Mayweed all summer) and the boya played ball sometimea after school. There waa apoat-office in the "store." besides boota, augar, hama, tape, rake-taila, piongbs, St. Croix molaaaea, lemona, oalico, cheeae, flour, straw hats, candlea, lamp-oil^ crackers and rum ; a good asaortmeut of nee¬ dles and thread, a abelf of aohool booka, a aeed-drawer, tinwaro atrang from the celling, applea in a barrel, coffee milia and brooma in tbe wiudows, and hanging over the counter framed and glazed, the followiug remarkable placard, copied out in a runniug hand:— No Credit Will be Given in Tbis Store after Tbis Date. Under no circumstaucea whatever.

In front of the " store" was a hay-scale, across the way a tavem, and, at respectful distances along the street, white or red houses with the inevitable frontdoor, south-doon kitchen aud shed-door, lilacs and altheas be¬ fore the windows, fennel, tiger-lilies, aweet- brier, and Bargnndy rosebtiahea, with red "pim«a"and livid hydrangeas, or now aud then a mat of stone crop and "voilets" aloug the posy-bed tbat edged cabbage and potato- plots, wbile, witbont the fence, Bouncing-Beets adorned the road-side, or blue sea-pinks from the pasture lot strayed beyond its rails.
Nothing happened in Deerfield ; so nothing happened to " 'Tenty Scran'," as the school¬ children nicknamed her. Sbe earned her liv¬ iug now at tailoring and dress-making; for Miss 'Viny was much "laid up with rbeum- ati2,"and could uot go abont as was her wont. Also, the'art and mystery of housekeeping be¬ came familiar to the cbild, and economy of tbe domestic sort waa a virtue sbe leamed un¬ conacioualy by coutinnal practice. She went io chnrch on Sundays in a clean calico frock aud a white cape, sat in the singers' seat and uplifted her voice in Lennox aud Moar, Wells aud Betbeada, sbared her fennel with tbe children in the gallery, looked out the text in her Bible, and always thought Parsou Good¬ year'a sermon was iutended for her good, and took it in accordingly.
I abonld like to say tbat 'Tenty Scran' was pretty; in fact, I bave always regarded it aa oue of tbe chief pleasures ofa literary calling, til al you are not obliged to take people as tbey are, but oan make them to nrder, since it takes uo more pen-scrattjhes to d8.=;cribe luxuriant curls and celestial eyes and rostsate lips than it doea to set forth much less lovely thiugs > but when it comes to stubborn facts, why, there you have to come down lo thia world) aud proceed accordingly,—so I mnst say 'Tenty waa not handaome. Sbe had freab rosy cheeks aud small browu eyea, hair to matcb the eyes, a uose undeniably png, a full, wide month, and stroug, white teeth,—fortunately, since every one showed when she langhed, and sbe laughed a great deal. Then she bad a dumpy fignre, aud good large hands and feet, a look of downrigbt honeaiy aad good temper, and a nice, clear voice, in speecb or singing, though she only sang hymns. But for all this, every¬ body iu Deerfield liked ' Teuty Scran'; old and yonng, men and maidens, all had a kindly welcome for her; and though Aunt 'Viny did not aay much sbe felt the more,   •
Bnt " everybody had tbelr sorrers," aa Ilann ah-Ann-Hall remarked, in one of her " 'Cademy" compi>sitions, and 'Tenty came to hers wben she was abont twenty-two. Miss Lovina waa almost bed-ridden with the rheu¬ matism, that year, aud Tenty had to come baok twioe a day from her work to aee to her, so that ahe made it up by staying eveninga, againat her usual rales. Now about the mid¬ dlo of tbat May, Dootor Parker'a soepegrace aon Ned, came home from aea,—a great, lazy, handsome fellow, who had run away from ! Deerfield in hia fifteenth year, becauae it was '. ao " daroed stupid," to nse hia own phrase. Doctor Parker waa old, and Mra. Parker, was I old, too, but ahe called it nervous ; and home waa stupider than ever to Ned, particulariy as he bad broken his aukle and was laid on the sofa for a good six weeks, at least. About the second ofthose weeks, Content Soranton came to " do over" Mrs. Parker'a anmmer-gowna and pat her oapa togetber after their semi- aunaal atarcbing.
Of coarae 'Tenty sat in the keeping room where the old sofa waa; and of coarae Ned had nothing better to do tban to watch the gay, good little giri at her toil, hear her invol¬ untary anatchea of hymn-singing,laugh ather bright Bimplicity, and fall in love with her, sailor-fashion-" bere to-day, and gone to¬ morrow."
'Tenty stayed a long time at Mrs. Parker's that aummer; she aeemed to get on ao alowly with her work, but, as Mrs. Parker said,—
"Why, the fact of it ia, 'Tenty ia so himdy and 80 apry, I can't sea how to spare her.— Kd'ard, he wants a sight of waitin' ou: and I am 80 nervoua, and huaband is afflicted with neuralogy, beside that he is considerable in years, so we oan't be around aa we nsed to be; Mid'tenty steps about aud gets Ed'aid'hla booka, and his yictuala, and fixes hia pHlows and keeps the light ont of her eyes; ao't he isn't oohtented a moment of time wlthont ahe'a right thewj' j And while Mrs. Parker was convey ing the«e
ideas to Mias 'Viny, there were being iUoHtra- ted in her owu houae aftet this fashion:
"'Tenty," (three weeka had abolished the' Misa) " Won't yon give me that blue book off the shelf?"
'Tenty sprang np and handed tbe book, and went to ber work again, beginning under her breath to hum—
"Sweat flelda beyond "
"Dear, mel thia pillow haa slipped away. 'Tenty, wou'tyon fix it ?"
Jump the aeoond; the pillow ia pnt straight under Ned*B dark carls, though he ia ao help¬ less she haa to raise his head with one arm and arrange the oushion with the other: then the aeam and hymn recommence.
" Sweet fielda beyond the •welling" —
" I wish I had a drink of cold water." J Jump the third ; 'Tenty finishes her hymn ou the way to the well, and bringa the water and.holda the invalid up to drink it, and then the pillows fall again, and the book alips down, and everything goes wrong aud has to be re arranged, and at length 'Tenty goea back to her place by the window quite indisposed to sing, bnt glowing with anew, shy pleasure, for Ned had looked up at her with tboae great gray eyea that aaid so much more than hia lips did, and laid hia oheek againat the atubbed hand that arranged his pillows, and aaid,— "Oh, 'Tenty! how good you are I" in tones that meant, "and how I Jove you!" as well, thongh he did not say it.
So mattera progresaed from day to day, Ned needing more aud more care, till he made hia first progreaa acrcaa the room with a oane and the help of 'Tenty's ahonlder; after whicb experiment he began to recover rapiily, im¬ pelled by the prospect of getting away from that houae, aud beiug free to go where he chose again.
For 'Tenty had ceased to amuse or interest him as muoh as she had done ; aix weeks had done away with the novelty of ht-r deepening color aud ahy dropping eyes; beaide, she langhed less, almost oeaaed to aing, sighed aoftly, and looked quiet and grave, inatead of gay and unconscious. It waa the old fable of aport to the boya and death tothe frogs. She thought he waa in earnest; he knew he was amusing himaelf.
Miaa 'Viny noticed thecbange in her darling, bnt she waa a woman who had acquired wis¬ dom by experience, and she aaid nothing ; abe only grew more exacting of 'Tenty's preaencB» wanted her earlier in the evening, found fault with her food, aud behaved generally ao unlike her usual atera patience, that Content waa really ronsed out of her dreaminess to wonder what ailed Aunt 'Viny.
Aa soon aa Ned Parker waa able to get out of doors again, he was heard of in every house in the village, making himaelf agreeable after his own fashion,—drinking hard cider with the old farmers, praising their wives' ginger¬ bread and sprace-beer, holding skeins for the girls, going on pio-nica, hiiokleberryings. fish¬ ing excursions, apple-beea, riding Old Boker, his father's horse, bare-backed down the street, playing ballon the greeu, aud frequenting sing¬ ing-school with one pretty girl and another, till all Deerfield shook its head and remarked that " That 'ere Ned Parker waa a mas ter-hand for carryin'on." And 'Tenty aewed harder than ever.
What makes me always put love into a atory, Aunt Grundy? Why, because love ia popular; becanse nine-tenths of tbe people who read smile to see tbe first and faintest hint of the tender passion in wbat they read; be¬ cause a story without love is like bricks with¬ out straw; because a life without it ia a life no doubt comfortable to lead, bnt uninterest¬ ing to hear. Love is your only democrat; Ethelinda in Fifth Avenue, glittering with the clear splendor of diamonds, and rustling like a white-birch-swamp with pale silks, gleaming tbrongh the twilight before an opera, and looking violets at Sydney Hamilton over the top of her invalid fan, ia no more thrilled and rapt and tortured by the Disturber iu Winga, than Biddy in the kitchen, holding tryst witb her "b'y " at the *ink-ioom window. Thous¬ ands of years ago, Theseus left Ariadine tear¬ ing tbe ripples of her amber-bright hair, and tossing her wbite arms with tbe tosaing surf, in a vain agony of diatraction and appeal I poets have aung tbe flirtation, paiuters have painted it; tbe atory is an eternal leg.>nd of pain and passiou, illnminated with lucent tints ofage and the warm Sonth, outlined with the statuesque parity of classic scenery and classic diction: but I myself never for a moment believed lhat Ariadne was a particle more un¬ happy or pitiable than Nancy Bunker, our aeamatreas, was, wben lliram Fenn went Weat to peddle essences, and married a female Hoosier, whose father owned half a prairie.— Tboy would by no meana make aa lovely a pictare; forNaucy'a upper jaw projects, and she haa a wart on her noae, very stiff black hair, and a shingle fignre, uoue of wbicb adds grace to a scene ; and Hiram went off in the Slabtown atage, with a tin-bos ou hia knees, instead of in a shell-shaped boat witb silken sails ; but I know Nancy reads love stories with great zest, and I know abe had a alow ' fever after Hiram was married. For, after all love is the aame thing ever since Paradiae,- tbe unwearying tradition, the ever new pres¬ ence, tbe rapture or the anguish unspeakable; aud wbile 'Tenty Scran' sat and sewed at Squire Hall's new linen pantaloons, she aet every atitch with a aigh, and sewed on every button with a pang that would have made Ariadne put both arms aroand her, and kiaa her long and close, a siater in bonds,—though purple robea with jewelled bordera, crescented pearls, and armlets of gold, would not bave been at all congruous hugging a sixpenny calico with a linen collar.
Not that Ked neglected 'Tinty: he could not follow her about from house to honse, and abe had done aewing for his mother, and in the evening Aunt 'Viny always needed her. But more that once he joined her after church walked home to the door with her, and cheered her simple soul with his flmiliar looka and tonea, and words of praise that made Ariadne Scran' think Tbenses Parker a little more than meremau, something altogether adorable. However she knew he was having a very good time when he didn't see her at all. The real reason why she ached and aighed over Squire Hall'a pantaloona waa, that she heard Ned in the next room helping Hannah-Ann Hall pack up the dinner for theirgrand Snake Hill picnio and diverting the aame Hannah-Ann with auch wit and humor and frolio, that she de¬ clared several times she ahould split, and begged him not to be so funny.
Now 'Tenty never had a pleasant day, un¬ less Ned was with her,—it had got as far aa that; and the idea tbat he oonld and did enjoy himselfao thoroughly and heartily with¬ oat her waa a dull pang that ate into her aoul oontinually, and made her forlom. Oh, these women I these pitiful creatures I not magnan¬ imity enough ina whole race ofthem tobe visible to the naked eye I jealous dogs-in-the manger I If they weren't uaeful domestically I would vote for having them exterminated from thia great generona world, and give plaoe to some better inatitution, which, no donbt could be got up by the india-rubber companiea or the scientifio conventiona. But aa Alphonso of Caatile did not make the world one must take it aa it ia; and I will say, for the encouragement of philosophers, that I have known one magnanimous women, and she a beautiful woman, moreover.
So 'Tenty aewed, and aohed, and made Aunt 'Viuey'a bed and her gruel, read her Bible and prayed for Ned Parker, and thought she waa growing very old, till one night he aaked her to go to singing-Bohool with him ; whareapoii she put on a pink calioo dreaa, and began to recover her youth most wonderfully.
They went to Maater Solen'a ainging-Bohool, it is true; bnt they never got home to Aunt 'Viny's till half paat nine, and 'Tenty iiever could Tie m'einber what tnues tliey sang; and the singera in chnroh next Snnday aeked her why she didn't oome in when ahe got as far as the door, and 'Tenty aaid she thoiight the ^noheswereallfoUl  Truth, stem tutor of
the historian, compels me'to ioonfeas'that 'Tenty and Ned Parker were aitting on the meethig-honse atepa most of that evening, hi a touching attitude ; for Ned W»3 tellmg. her how his ship had oome into pori and was go¬ ing to aail again. for Sonth Ainerica,.and he had au offer to join her aa aecond mate; so he had got to aay good-bye to hla kind little nnrae, and so forth and ao on, with admoui- tionanever to forget him; and how he never should forget her, and here was alittle looket; and ffnally, sobered by her stifled aobs, Ned bent down" hla handaome head, and said, softly,— " Won't you kiss me for good-bye, 'Tenty ?" Dear me I of conrse ahe kissed him, and thought how good he was to kisa her, and told him BO- Whereupon he got better and better; and when the sexton oame to ring the bell fornine o'clock, they only just heard his ateps in time to steal away nnobaerved through the starry darkness^wd go round paat the pine¬ grove. So reaching home at the aforeaaid late hour, where Ned became good again when hg stooped to nnlatoh tbe gate, 'Tenty looked ao freah and rosy and aweet when she came im that Aunt 'Viny growled to herself, found fault with her gruel, scolded at the blanket, tipped over the tea-cup, and worried 'Tenty baok into stem reality, till the girl stole off to her bed. Not to sleep,—oh, no I Waate such sweetness on sleep? Never I She lay there, broad awake, and thought it all over, and how very nice it was to bave anybody love her so much, and how she should like to be hand¬ some and smart and worthy so much honor, till the cock crowed for dawn, and then she fell asleep, nowise daunted by the recollection that Ned had said nothing to ber except that ahe was aa aweet aa a ripe blackberry and as pretty aa a dais^; for to her inuocent logio actions spoke louder than words, and she knew tbat anybody who did ao (?) mnat love her enough to marry ber.

THE WIND AND THE BREEZE.
A mighty wind went raging by.
It vas a wondrous sight; Stont trees bant their braoahas high ; Dark cloods of dust whirled th roogh the sky. And noflght arouod me could I spy,
Bot trophies of ita might.
A UtUe breeze passed geaUy o'er,
I ficarcely heard Its tread ; Tet freRhnosB to the flowers It bore. And throngb the open cottage door Their fragrance floated In once more
Aronnd the sick man's head.
Thau.tbonght I-U were grand, I know,
Tba fltioog prond wind to he ; But, better far. snbdaed to go Aloog tha path of humaa woe. Like the mild breflie. so soft aod low,
In ita sweet ministry.
THE PRECIOTJSNESS  OF LITTLE¬ NESS.
Everything is beautifni, aays B. F. Taylor^ of tbe Chicago Journal, when it is little, except souls; little piga, little lamba, Uttle birda little kittens, little children.
Little martin boxes of homea are generally the moat happy and cozy; little villages are nearer to being atoms of a ahattered Paradise than anything we know of; little fortunea bring.tbe moat content, aud little hopes the least diaappoinment.
Little words are the sweetest to hear ; little oharities fly farthest, and stay longest on the wing; little lakes are tbe stillest, little hearts the fullest, and liltle farms tbe best tilled. Lit¬ tle books are the most read, and little aonga the deareat loved. And where natare would make anything especially rare and beautiful, ahe makes it little—little pearls, little dia¬ monda,  little  dews.
Auger's ia a model prayer, bnt then it is a little prayer, and the burden of the petition ia for little. The sermon on the Mount is for little, butthe last dedication discourse was an honr. Tbe Roman said: Vent, vidt, vici—I oame—aaw—conquered; but despatches nowa¬ days are longer than tbe battles  tbey tell of.
Everybody calls that little they love best on earlh. We once heard ot a good sort of a man speak of his little wift>, and we fan¬ cied that sbe muat be a perfect bijou of a wife. We saw ber sbe weighed 210; we were aur- pritied. But tben it waa no joke; tbe man meant it. He could not pnt hia wife iu his heart aud have room for other things beaidea; and wbat was she bnt preoious, and what could she be bnt little.
We rather doubt the stories of great argo¬ sies of gold we aometimea hear of, becanse Nature deals in littles, almost altogether. Life is made up of liltle, death ia wbat remaina of them all; day is made np of little beams, and uight ia glorious with little atais.
Multum in parvo—mnch in little—is the great beanty of all that we love best, hope for most, and remembei; lougest.
HOW TO PROSPER IN BTISINESS.
In the first place make up your mind to ac¬ complish whatever you undertake; decide npon some particalar employment, and perse¬ vere ih it. All difficultiea are overcome by diligence and assiduity.
Be not afraid lo work with your hands, and diligently too. "A cat in gloves catches no mice." He who remaina in the mill, grinds I not he who goes and comea.
Attend to your baainess ; never truat to any one else. " A pot that belongs to too many is ill-stirred and worse boiled."
Be frugal. ".That which will not make a pot will make a pot-lid." "Save the pence and the ponnds will take care of themselves."
Be abstemious. " Who dainties love, ahall beggars prove."
Rise early. '-The sleepy fos catcbea no poultry."

BRAITDT AS A MEDICINE. ri"lHK following article was voluntarily
X Mnt to Mr. H. E. SLAYMAKEK, Agent for Keigart's Old Wine Store, In thts city, by a promi- nfot pracUslog Pfayciciao of this coooty, wbo ban ex¬ tensively ased the Brandy referred tu in bU regular practice. It Is eomiaended to tbn a'tention of ihobo aflUcted wllh IndlgOHlloo or Dyspepsia:
BBANDY AS A MEDICINE:—TbH now mocb aba-ed alcohellc eUmulaot was never lolKoded aa a beverage, hot was asad as a medicine of groat potency and r>iua- bility in tba coro of some of the mosi tlustrnctiva and virnlent dlsea^en, which swept befure them their aunn&l thousands ot vicUms. Aside from the iudlirpenhablo nse of alcohol In the arts aod mannfacture.-i, we, with a porely philaolhropic motive. Intend to preaout lo the favorahlrt noUce of inufl/irfi—especially those afilicted wilh tbat protean and miserable disease. Dyspepsia— a speclflc remedy Is nuthing mure oor leas ibao BKAMDV. Tbe aged, with feebia appatllos, and more or leMs debllUy, will flnd tbls simple medicine, wbeu i oeed pi operiy, a sovereigo remedy for all their Ills and aches. But since we have recommended this as a remedy, bo it, however, etrleUy understood that we pre- Hcribe and nsa batoue article, and that is "liEIGARTS OLD BRANDY,''—eoli hy onr enterprlning yonng friend, U. E. Sljitmaker. This brandy ba» ntood tbe test for years, aud has oovar failed, as far us our e:cpo- rlence extends, and we therefore give ll the preference ovcr all othar brandies—no matter wiib how mauy jaw- breaklog FrPneh UUes thsy ara branded. One-foarlh oftbe money that la yearly thrown away oa varioos impoteutdy»pep3la«P''clflc8,woold safllce lo bay ail the brnndy locure aay such case or cases. Wo have often bean advised by ptomlneot cltliens in our uelgbbor¬ hoad—who aro strictly temperate—to pnblish tbe vir¬ tues of this braody. Io this all parvadiog malady, as It would lu a mnnner abolish tbe bost of wnuld-hd quack remeiles, with wblcb Invalids are s>> oulrageonily humbnggod, and bring cbeer and comfori lo many a debolata flre^ldo. In prowfof whal ReigaiVsOld Brandy hns accompllabed as a romedy, In the dlsouoes to which wo have allnded. we cau sammou qalte a respectable number of persons, who wlU freoly teatify as to tbe great and lasUng beneflta they bava derived from irs nsa as a medicine. Several coses of the moat iaveternte form of Dyhpepsla—where It proved snceeBsfoI—sboulJ abme sofflca to convinca any liberal mind that Old Brandy is iafaiUble. One eaae la parUcular we will cite:—A hard working farmer had beeo oidieted wltb anexhanstlDR dyspepsia for a nomber of years; his ¦tomach wouldrejectalmobt every kind of food; be h^d sour eraeialloDK cou&lauUy—no appetlle^la fact, be was obliged to restrict his diet to crackers and stale bread, and as a bavarage ho used MeOrann's Boot Beer. He is a Methodist, and then, as now, preached at tlmss, and In hia dlBCoorso ofteo declaimed earnesUy againat aU kinds of strong drink. When advised lo try Rci- qarVs Old Brandy In his oaae, ho looked up wllb aston- isbmenl; but after relaUng Its womlerful elfectB lu lbe casaa ofaome of his upar acqaalulanws ho at last con- aentfld to follow onr advUe. He oaed the brandy faith- fullT and steadily; the first botlle giving him an aopaUte and before lhe second was oU ukeo fae was a souud man, with a stomach capable of digesting any thing which be chose to eat. Ha atlU keeps It and uses a lllUo occasionally ; and, moreover, since he has this mediclna, ho ban beea of very lUUa pecuuiary baneflt to the doctor, ifany aro skapiical, or believe lhla is wrilten to benefit any liquor dealer wo can, if roquired, give a certificate endorsedby quite a respectable number of pereoEB, wbo hive baan cored by U, and wbo wiu at anyUiue cTieerfally testify as to lis superior healthy virtues U dyipepua, and aU diseoacB of a dablUotlng oharacter. Tboee deelrlQE to use this brandy. wlU oblalo foil dlrecUons of Hr. Slaymaker; bot saoh as detli« to uee It for intoxlcaUos .purposos, we Advise to rather lufl^r wltb dyspepsia, and let RaisarCs old brandy get older, or tutU tbey eau form a resolotloa to Qsoitis A mfdldne.
