FATTTHOENE'S LOVE.
FIRST
Fifty years ago, ami I've but to shut my eyes anil there coiiiea 'Willie over the hill, as I useiltosee liim coming, ¦when I sat wtiitiug for Iiim at the farni- house winilow. bumetiines on hoi'.se- baclc, but mostly on foot, for the Hall was uot far away. Nowaiiays you see the boys and men all alike iti black, or with a little bit of graj' or brown. It wasu't so thon. Will wore a blue coat with Rilt buttons, ami Uuee buck¬ les, and silk stockings, and buckles in his shoes, and a butTvest; and, on gala days, claret color aud white silk. Hand some iu any one's eyes, and wonder¬ fully so lu mine; for I was half Quak¬ eress, half Methodist, and never had worn auythiug gay myself.
Tall"? Surely he was tall. Never a Haslet under six feet, and broader in the shoulders than auy of his age. Straight-featured' and rosy, aud just twenty-live.
Will's father w.as rich Stiuire Haslet and they lived at the Hall—a grand house we thought it. for we were plain people. Father a Quaker, mother a Methodist, and he kcjit to the plain dress and language, ail his life. In those days there never was a JMethodist who wore gay colors, or new fashions, and mother took to the poke bounets aud grave dresses naturally.
So we were quiet enough, not a pic¬ ture nor an ornament in the house. Ifot a fiddle, though brother Barzillai begged to have one. And at dusk Sat¬ urday night, work put awaj', and the house clean, and not so much as a mouthful cooked the Sabbath through. Everything cold; and mother put the key iu her pocket, antl took us girls one way to Methodist meetiug, and father took the boys to Quaker meet¬ ing, for that was tlie compact, and they never let religion come between them. It was all so dillerent at tho squire's. The curtains and carpets and Mrs. Haslet's caps all aglow with color. And Sunday a feast da3', wilh more work for the servants than any other; and guests dowu from the city, aud the piano—such a wonder^to all—and the harp a playing. Tliey went to church if Ihey chose, and sat in the squire's high backed pew wilh curtains. Mother used to say—she was a bit prejudiced—that what with the organ and altar cloths, ,tnd fonts and carvings, and painted windows, and gay bonnets, the Episcopal church was all the world like a play house. Sister Ellis used to Bay to me, "Forall that, I'dlikeapink bonnet myself, and to go where there was music iu the church." Ellis hadn't a Quaker bone in her body, nor a drop of .Methoilist blood in ber veins. X always wondered Will didn't cume a ¦wooing her instead of me.
I was a liltle bit of a thing with blue eyes, and skin like wax, without a bit of color in it; aud didn't here come au artist who painted miniatures, to our place, oue summer, and tell me my face ¦was "classical," nearer "antique" than anything he hail ever seen. I was pleased.with the first, but the last wor¬ ried me, for, do what I would, though it sounded like a cumpiimeut, I could make nojmeaning of "antique" but oM, so I asked Willie, aud said he:— "Come to my house and I'll show you." So mother let me, and I wont. There in the drawing-room was astaud, and on it was a woman in marble—that ia, the face and neck of a woman, and down to tiie waist. A " bust" he called it. Says Willie, " That's antique. It is Psyche, and more like you than auy picture could be."
"Never like me," said I; and then I blushed and turned away, for not a scarf nor a tucker had she,«aiid I feltashain- ed.
It was a splendid house—too grand it seemed to me to live in; and he took me all over it, even to the hot-hou.«e, where summer flowers grew in the win¬ ter time, aud put some iu my hair.— "White," said lie, "you look best in white."
One night I heard father and mother talking by the kitchen fire. Says moth¬ er, " It's wrong to stand in the girl's way; though he's Episcopal. And think of her being mistress of the Hall, aud riding in her own coach."
" Thee thinks too much of the world, Eunice," sa3'3 father.
" Butremember, Ellas," says mother, " it's a chance that comes to "few. And she'd be good to Ellis if AVe died, and the fear would be off our minds for the children. It's hard to be poor, to pinch and save, and to know a bad year for crops or a spell of sickness would swal¬ low all. He loves her, and he'll be good toiler; and she can go to her meeting and lie to his."
"Thee'll have thy way at last," says father. " But I'd rather see Iier marry some young friend, with but one cow and two or three acres. I misdoubt the way of world's folk."
But his voice was mild and I knew he had yielded. As for tlie squire him¬ self—a handsome, burly, red-faced gen¬ tleman with a loud voice—he rode over one morning to see father. Mother went into the sitting-room, and I was to stay ia the tlairif; but how could T, when I knew my fate was in the balance ? I •crept into the entry and I listened. I heard tlie squire first.
" My boy has set his heart on your girl," he said; " he might Iind a riclier mate, hut he could not tind a prettier or better. - If you'll say yes, neighbor Fauthorne, I will, and his motlier.— Sabrina's to be married soon, and we shall want a daughter at the Hall."
Father said uot a word for a while. He folded his hands, aud sat looking at the floor. At last he said, "Have thy own way, Eunice, she's a girl."
Oh, but it's sweet to have the first love crowned by a parent's blessing.— Well, well, Willi joy comes sorrow. A month after that Willie's mother died. She dropped from her chair al the din¬ ner-table, und when the servant sped acro33 theeonutry aud back wilh the doctor she was dead. I wept as I stood near the grave aud saw Willie so sad, dressed for the ftrst time in bis mourn¬ ing, und I had more reason to weep, than I knew; lor Sabrina Haslet was mistress of the Hall, aud all along, in secret, she had set herheartagaiusiher brother's match with me.
As soon as she could she began to fill the house with company—young ladies, nearly all; handsome, iashiomible, dressed in finery and jewels, and Will must play the part of host ami make them welcome. Hetoldmeso. "Though I'd rather be wilh my Quaker beauty by the river side," he said. " But Sa¬ brina wanu company to keep her spirits up."
I had a guess that she hoped to wean him from me, but I uever told him so. True love, I tliought, needs no chain, and for a while he was my own Willie all the same. But there at last came to the Hall the handsomest lady of all— >IisB Dorcas Oakley.   Shestayedalong
long -while and there was dancing in the evenings and riding all the day; and she rode beautifully and always with WllUe. I thought to myself oyer and'overagain, "Does she know itls my love she rides away with as though he were hers?" .
Then the jealousy began to grow In my heart, and I waa not the same girl at times. Yet all the while he told me that it was a fashion and courtesy, and kept me quiet while he was by. He would have had me also at the Hall often, but Sabrina sent no message.— She was the mistress of the house, and I would not go there without her invi¬ tation. So I piued and grew thin, and mother thought me ill. So I was, but of heart, not of body. And when she talked of my weiiding day, my blood would boil, and I'd say between my clenched teeth, "No, I'll marry no one who weds mc because he's bound to me, and not from love!"
One night I stood by tlio garden pailngs and looked at Ihe stars, and as I stood there a woinan in a hood came over the fields and stood beside me. It was Miss Sabrina Haslet. I starteii as if I had been shot; and she took olf her hood, for it was warm, and looked hard at me.
" What kind of a girl are yon?" she said.
" What kind of one are you?" said I. "Not a civil one, to speak that way."
Said she, " What I want to know is this. Are you the person to hold my brother to a foolish bond, or to let bim free wheu he begins to struggle ? You caught him cleverly ; and though his lieart has slippeil through your fingers, you may be mistress of the Hall yet, I suppose.    Will you?"
" With his heart gone from me !" I cried. " Has lie told you it is gone ?"
" He'd die flrst," said Miss Sabrina. "His honor would not let him break troth with you. But to see how he loves Aliss Dorcas Oakley, and she is a matcli for him in rank, anil wealth, and beauty. People are talking of it, and pitying him."
" They sb.all pity him no more," I said. "What is tiiat Hall to me? It was my Willie's love I cared for. Tell him ho is freo."
"You must tell bim yourself," she said; "if you care to see him happy, open his cage," aud slie tied on her liootl and sped away.
That night there went a note to Willie :—
"Master WillinmITaslet: I'vollioughla long, long while that tho bond betweoh us was best hi-oko, I feel sure of it now. It will he boiler that we should .not meet again ; and in this I send yon back your ring. Mav good fortune and happinessat- tond you !" And wiih'lhis wish, Isign my¬ self lI.12JS.iU Fautuorxe."
This I wrote -with a heart torn and rent as never fiesli could be, anil it was sent; and though he came to the farm I would not see him; aud all was over between us.
I waited only to hear tliat he was be- trothed to miss Dorcas Oakley. Instead of tliat X heard, a week after, that he had left tbe country. Where he had gone, and why, no one knew. When I felt sure that Miss Dorcas Oakley could be nothing to bim, or at least that they were not to be married, my lieart smote mc a liltle, and t wondered whether I should not have put my jiride down a bit. aud have heard him speak for him¬ self.
Miss Sabrina Haslet did not marry. The wedding was put oil" first by her mother's death, and then by her father's six months after; and then folks said tliere was a quarrel. But be it as it may, he wlio was lo have been lier husband, married, instead, thatsame Miss Dorcas Oakley. Other suitors came no doubt, for Miss Sabrina was handsome and rich ; but she liked none of tbem, and lived on in the Hall quite alone but for the servants. By anil by she saw no company, and shut up half the house, and seemed more lonely and wretched than many a poor woman. All her beauty left her. too, and she became a sharp, sour spinster, always dressed in black—she who had been both belle and beauty.
I lived on at liome. Ellis married, and so did Barzillai. The years did uot seem to give a gray hair to my mother, nor a wrinkle to my father; they were too placid to grow old fast. No wonder I did not inarry. They seemed to think tliat, having been so nearly mistress of the Hall, it was not likely I shouhl be willing to wed for less. The Hall! It was Willie I loved, aud not bis house or lands.
One winter night—Christmas time Wits nearly come, and I sat by the fire dressing dolls and tying upsugar plums in paper horns with bits of ribbon for my nieces and nephews' stockings— there came a loud rapping at the door, 1 opened it and there stood an old mau servant from the Hall.
" I'm seut by Miss Sabrina, miss," said lie. "She is very ill, and desires you to come alone; she has something particular to say to you."
"Sabrina Haslet send for me!" I thought, and then my heart beat fast, and 1 fancied I hardly knew what.— "III, did you say?"   I asked.
" Very ill," said the man ; " the doc¬ tors gave her over."
I went back to get a shawl and hood, and tell my mother where I was going, and then came out. The night was bleak, and snow was falling and lay deep npon the ground, and there stood a carrhige with rugs in it ready for rae. I stepped in and was wliirled away towards the Hall. It waslikeadream; I could scarcely believe myself awake. It wtis still a dream when lie stopped at the Hall, and I only realized that all was true when I stood in Miss Sabrina's room, and saw lier lying wan and pale upon the pillow. Oh! what a change had come over her.
" You've come, Hannah Fauthorne," she said;   " thank  you   for that.    I thought you'd refuse, perhaps.    It's a long while since we .spoke together!" "A Iotig;whil5," t replied. "Y'etyou haven't changed much," said she.    "You look as you did wlien you stood by the hedge in tlie moon¬ light, and said: "What is the Hall to me?   'Twas AVillie's love I cared for. I remember tho words, Hannah Fau- thorne.    They've stung my soul often since.   Do you know I lied then?" "Lied?"
"Yes, lied. It Avas I who wanted him to wed Dorcas Oakley. Willie's never belonged to any one bnt you. He was true as Heaven. I thought a poor girl like you beneath liim. 1 told him you loved that cousin who came to your home so often, and when your letter came he believed it. I thought he would marry Dorcas then. I never meant to drive iiim from home aud kin ; but he went, and the Last words he said were: 'Sabrina, my he.art is brok¬ en.' And all these years he has wan¬ dered over the world a lonely, sorrow¬ ing man ; and I, his sister, the cause. And she—Dorcas—oh! yon know my lovor jilted me for her; all the place knows that."
I looked at the poor, dying woinan. I was trying to forgive her, but I could not help speaking harshly. " I am only a stranger," I said; "what I have suf¬ fered is nothing to you. But had you no mere3' on j'our brother? Y'ou have had time to repent."
"Time!" she said. "Y'es, Hannah Fauthorne, it seems like eternity; but I have souglit for him in vain, foryears I thouglit him dead. Y^esterday I learned that he is alive, and not many miles distant. Old before his time, they say, butlie lives. Look," she con¬ tinued, drawing a packet from under lier pillow ; " iu tiiis I liave written the truth. .It shall be sent to-morrow. It is directed plainlj'. If I die in the night, it can go all the same. Will and you may meet again and be happy when I am under the turf." Then she began towail: " Don't leave me! don't leave me to die alone!"
I sat down by her. "Don't fear," I said, "and try to think of other tilings. Forget earth, aud look to Heaven." I never left her. Sitting by her side ou the third night, I saw a change come over her face, and bent over her.
" Hannah Kauthorne," slie whisper¬ ed, " have you forgiven me?"
"As I pray God to forgive me," I an¬ swered.
Then fainter still she spoke: "Be kind to Will; he loved you. Oh! lo tliink that I should have lost my soul that you might not be my sister—you who seem so likeonenow." And with these words there came a look into her eyes I never shall forget; and in the Christmas dawn she lay on my arm— dead.
On Sunday they buried her. The graveyard was full. Every oue came to see Squire Haslet's daughter laid in the great vault. I stood near it; but, though the solemn words of the preach¬ er rang in my ear, and the coffin was before my eyes, and I  should  have
Will as I used to see him and myself, as In a mirror, young and blithe, lean¬ ing on his arm. Then I found myself praying for-the dead woman, "God forgive her, for ahe knew not what she did."
I came back to the present with a start and a thrill; they were closing the vault. And beside the clergyman, speaking to falm in a whisper, stood a tall man, with a foreign look about him, and a heavy hut slouched over his eyes; a man all iu black, with hair dark as night, butwith here aud there a .silvery thread. Why did my heart beat so when Hooked at him? Surely I had never seen that man before? 1 turned away and went homeward. The path led by the old Hall. I paused a moment to look at it. Every window was shut; from the broad front door, and from the necks of the stone lions on the porch, streamers of crape were floating. Oh! how often had I seen every window ablaze with lights, and lieard music, and dancing feet, and laughter from within. And, now, in tho winter twi¬ light, for at five this day was nearly done, and the clouds lowered heavy with coming snows—now how dark and cold it was; and yonder in the grave yard lay in the grim vault, master and mistress, and she who had been tlie pride of their hearts, the toast and beau¬ ty of the reign—Sabrina Haslet. And Willie, where was hef
The gloom, the scene I had just wit¬ nessed, the memories were too much for me. I bowed my head upon the cold stone of the gateway aud wept. "Gone, gone, gone," I cried, and the sobbing wind seemed to resound the wordsgone, gone, gone.
I had heard no step on thesnow, I had seen no sliadow, I never guessed .any one was near me, until a hand was laid upon my shoulder, a hand large and strong, but trembling like an aspen leaf. I looked up. Beside me stood the tall, dark man I had seen iu the graveyard. When I lurneO, he removed his hat, and I saw the face of Willie Haslet. A face altered and aged, bronzed and sad, but still his, Willi love in it.
" Hannah," he said, " Hannah !"
And I, as though I spoke in a d¦^cam, murmured: "He has come back again! He lias come back again!"
" Yes, Hannah, back again," said the low, sweet voice that had been in mem¬ ory so many years. "Her letter brought me back. She was my sister, and is dead. Hannah, you know all?"
" All," I said.
He looked at me; I felt that, though I dared not look at him. We were silent a moment, then he spoke, " I have not cros,sed that threshold; Uresis with you whether I shall. I will not be master of the Hall, unless you will be my wife and the mistress."
" The Hall! the Hall!" I cried. "Did the Hall woo me? Did I love the Hall? You speak of it first, as all do! O, Will Haslelt! if you had been a poor farm¬ er's son, all might liave been difTerent. I never thought of anything but your love."
"I forgot," he said, "'tis not young Will Haslelt now. My liair is gray; the time for wooing is past."
" And lam old also," I said. "This is not Hannah Fauthorne, I sometimes think, but another woman with her name."
"There is no changcinyou," liesaid, "O, Hannah! must! go?" Heopened his arms.
I took one step forward, and my head was on his breast, as it had been ten ycars befoie, and I was his again.
Thirty years ago—but I remember how the bells rang when we were wed, and how thecliurch was crowded witli the people to see. And who ao proud as mother? For her girl was tliesquire's lady and mistress of the Hall, where she and father sat by the fire many a long day, and died in peace and liope, almost together, at last. So may we die. Will and I, for we love eacli other still, though both our heails are white as snow to-day. But, amidst the chang¬ es that have come in all theseyears, we have never changed to each other, and, as we have lived, so shall we die.—Go- de)/'s Lady's Book.
FOE THE LITTLE FOLKS.
A XIGOT LOKG AGO.
"Ralph," said my sister to me one daj', " I wish yaa wouldn't go with that Syke Marlin. I believe he is a bad boy." ¦' That's all you know about it," I re¬ plied, angrily. " He is a mighty good fellow, I tell you."
" 1 don't know what he is good for," my sister went on, in a calm, lady-li!ce tone that aggravated me. "I'm sure lie was the greatest dunce in school before he was turned out; why you per¬ sist iu going with liim, I don't know." "You'd have me desert a fellow, would J'OU, because he is down? I'm glad I'm not that mean. Skye never did auythingso very bad; butoldFerg- gy always had a grudge against him. I tell you it makes me just tearing mad to have you talking against Syke Mar¬ tin. There is no use in it, eilher, for I am going with hira all i waut to; he is a gond fellow—a tip-top good fellow."
" But what is he good fur? you can't tell me that," persisted my sister.
"May be I can, and may be I can't. I'm pertty certain I won't— so tiiere," and I noisilj' slammed from the room. Now, boys, if j'ou know anyone who is a good fellow in general, and yet is not good for anything in particular, take my word for it, his good fellow¬ ship will work only evil to you. How¬ ever, I don't suppose you will take my word for it; you will have to work out the truth in bitter experience before you will believe it, heart and soul. I got a lesson on tlie subject once, and if you care for it at second hand, here it is.
Tlie summer before I went to Ender- by, some of us Waterford boys formed ourselves into a secret society. I re¬ member very well the day we started it; it was one Saturday in May. We had gone to an island, acoupleof miles up the river, for a day's fishing aud tramping. After lunch, wewere loung¬ ing round tlie Hie, where we had broil¬ ed our fish, when Syke Martin produced a pack of greasy cards, and proceeded to initiate us intothemysteries of encher and seven up. Card playing was a new thing to most of us; respectable. Christian jieople at Waterford did not play games of chance, and seldom spoke of them, except with holy lioror. I had a few conscientious scruples, but I did not mind them, but just went aliead and learned all I could. We spent the whole afternoon playing.— Syke was a capital teacher, good hu- morored and patient, and with high appreciation of native talent in his jiupils.
" Honor bright, now," he exclaimed, in a burst of admiration, after we had begun to get the run of the games. " Honor bright, now! you don't say you fellows never played before'?"
"Never had a pack of cards in my hands till to-day," said Bob Morgan.
"Nor I, either."
"Nor I."
" Well, you are the quickest set at it that I ever saw," he went on. "We're just getting fairly iuto the fun now; it's too bad we have got to break up; supposing we come over here next Sat¬ urday aud play; there ain't any harm in it, you know."
" All right; I'm in for It," said Bob, promptly.
" I too; count me in if Bob comes," said I; and one after another we all agreed to it; then Syke made us prom¬ ise secresy.
" There isn't anything out of the way abont it, boys. It is all right; but it would be a little rough on me if any of you went and blabbed that I taught you to play cards, for you know that old DeaconElderberry,andParsonHuater, aud his wife, and Squire Humphries, and Aunt Huidy.Rhodes, and a lot more of those wild ones, would be a teasing me to teach them ; and I should be so run that I could not enjoy tbepreachin' on Sundays; cnuldn'tconductthe meet- in', nor my Sunday-school class, and couldn't get on with my 'pious medita¬ tions.' " Here Syke went tlirough a series of winks that set us roaring witli laughter. "Now promise not to tell, and strike liands on it."
'1 Ills "striking liands" was an abraca¬ dabra ceremony of Syke's own getting up, I believe. We stood around in a circle~tbere wereseven of us-and Syke, raising his right hand, said, solemnly, " Mum." Then, stepping forward a couple of jiaces into the middle of the ring, he knelt down, laid his hand flat upon the eartli, and repeated " Mum." Each boy, in turn, did tbe same thing, uutil the seven were kneeling in a cir¬ cle, their hands clasped one upon an¬ other, in a pile, then we repeated iu concert:
The seven plognes be upon us. IT Tve sfaoald break this promise. Mum, nimn, mum,
Imposing; but we thought highly of it at the time, and used to repeat it when we engaged in anyspeclalundertaklng. At first we met, aa we had agreed, at Hobb's laland, to play cards; besides thia, we used to sing songs-jolly and rolIloklngBongaand mostly chorus. We used to craok jokes and tell stories; hot always nice ones, either. Besides this, we got bold of some balf dozen old dogs- eared novels of low character, and these we read in turn—secretly, of course.— We called our society "The Seven Up," partly from our favorite game, and partly from our number and character, being "seven," and "up" to anything, as Syke aptly remarked.
Besides our regular society doings, we had several undertakings that summer. These were mostly practical jokes, in¬ volving considerable adventure. I re¬ member once we collected all the scarecrows from the farm fields for three miles around, and put them upon some new trees that had been set out iu the village park. We did it after the re¬ spectable eilizens of our quiet town were fast asleep. For mj' part, I had to climb out of my window, and slide olf the woodshed roof, and I never worked harder in my life; but we thought it was the funniest and smartest thing that had been done since the world started.
As the season advanced, we went cooningfor green coru or fruit on the moon-light nights.   I told you in The
Corporal ,180—,the story of Squire
Humphries' catching us in his melon patch, and how beflogged us all around; tbat put an end to our thieving. I al¬ most wish I had not happened upou that word thieving; it is sueh a meau word; but it is an honest word, and tells the truth; that ia just what we had been doiug—thieving, and I won't flinch from the word.
When the cold weather put an end to onr out-door meetings, we rented a room in an old, brick wareliouse, near the river bank, and fitted it up for our use. The fitting np consisted chiefly in put¬ ting up some black curtains at the windows, and providing aome rough seats and a table. 'Very snug and cozy we found thia place. The warehouse was remote from any frequented road ; we could make all the noise we wanted to, and not be Iieard; and the curtains were so close that our lights were uever visible in the street. There was a large old-fashioned fireplace in the room, and wealways had agreat, jolly flre on meet¬ ing nights, which were regularly ap¬ pointed for Friday evenings. It waa Syke's doinga—renting the room and arranging it. He told the owner he wanted to store some furniture for his agent, and got it for a mere song.
This Syke Martin was a new boy; that is, new to us. He had come from Vermont the winter before, to board with his aunt and attend school; but he hated lessons and school routine, aud near spring waa expelled for ill conduct. We boys liked him, and stood by him, just the same after his disgrace as be¬ fore. He waa a tall, well-grown youth, with a Hushed face and black eyes. He held his head high and wasu't afraid of anybody. He waa bright enouch at anything but books. He wasgenialand good-humored; could tell no end of stories, sing songs like a nightingale, aud had a droll way of turning fun out of everything; but the boy hail a twist in his moral nature,- and a good many twists in his moral practice. He had rather tell a lie than the truth any day; and it gave him quite as much pleasure to steal a thing as to get it honestly.— He was a bad boy, though at tlie time no amount of beating would have made me own up to it.
Syke Martin led us into a good deal of mischief, though I am not going to lay the blame of wrong doing upon him, or any other fellow; that is an account eacli one of us must settle for his own self. I knew right from wrong, as well you do, and I liad tbe power of choice between the two, and I went tbe way I chose to go. It was a dangerous road, a road whose end is temporal aud eter¬ nal ruin.
That day, after the talk with my sis¬ ter, I went out into the street. At tbe first corner I met Bob Morgan. He waa fuifof knowing winka and biinka. He drew me aside, aud talked to me in a hoarse whisper, as if the fence post had ears.
" I tell you, Ralph, there's high old larks to-uight; do yon know about il?" "No more  than usual, is there'?— What's up?"
" I guess there is more than usual! regular high doiugs, you know. Syke told me to tell you; tliereistoheastun- ning lime to-night, a regular all uight- er, you know."
"No, I don't know; and I'm not likely to know, either, if you don't slop your blowing, and tell me in plain English just what is going on," Ire- plied, crossly.
" Well, don't bite a fellow's head off, especially mine, for there's a supper to be cooked and eaten to celebrate the new room to-night. Syke has gotsnme chickens; I more than half suspect they are from old Ferggy'a hen roost; ain't that a joke, though ? and Hal Wal¬ lace is going to bring hard cider; and you anil I are committee on apples, you see. We are to bring all of ourpockets full."
"That's all very fine for boya who don't have to give an account of them¬ selves; but what is tlie good for you and me. How are we going to get off for all night, I'd like to know?"
"Well," returned Bob, "we ahall have to ' cut aud contrive,' as the old woman did when she madeoveraslieet into a nightcap. I've got a new idea I'm going to ask father to let me spend the night with you. Of course, he'll think it is SlI your house. He may think what he wants to; I shan'thindorhim, and-"
" It's a poor rule that won't work both waya," I buriit in. "I'll get my paternal to let me spend the night with you!"
"That's all right, of course!" ex¬ claimed Bob. " We shall spend the night with each other. Y^ou liave my blessing, young man. I'll whistle for you at half past seven ; and don't for¬ get tlie apples."
" We had wonderful good lueli that night in getting off, aud we chuckled a good deal over oursuccess, as we tramp¬ ed over the crusted snow. It was a good half-hour's walk to the ware- houae; but we got there at last, stum¬ bled up two pnira of rickerty stairs, aud gave the three regulation knocks at the door. It flew open like magic. Tlie room waa glowing red with the great flre. and a shout of welcome greeted ua.
" Glad to see you. my hearties,' 'said Syke.
"How are you, old apple carls?" cried another, as we unlo.ided our liockets.
"How did yon leave the sheriff?" The sheriff was Bob's father.
" Left him jolly, thank you," replied Bob, cheerily. " Ralph and I had a wonderful get of to-night. I'm sup¬ posed to be at Ralph's house, and he is supposed to be at my house."
" And where you are, ain't nothing to noboddy—"
" They'll get clear of making up the beds at both housea, for—
'" We'\ron'tgo home till mornliijt, ¦\Ve won't go horae till raorulug, ¦\Ve won't KG home till morning. Tin daylight doth appear.'"
We all joined in thisniiorus, bawilug it oir with great glee.
" Friends, allow me to preseut to you the Hon. P. B. Fergusander, A. M., Principal of Waterford Academy," said Syke, at the conclusion of tbe song, waving his hand towards the high man¬ telpiece, whero a tall rooster, with a twisted neck, was perched in solemn state.
" How are you, old Ferggy! how are you?" we veiled, with delight.
"Allow Tne," continued Syke, "to make you acquainted with the Hon. Mrs. Ferggy," and lie pointed to the other^end of the mantelpiece, where a motherly, old hen was roosting her last roost.
Another shout greeted her.
"I tell you, fellows, it took uncom¬ mon powers of persuasion to get those high-minded fowls to come here to¬ night. It took me six days to plan the special Indueementa that finally fetched them."
'l^'Three cheers for Syke," called Bob,
stories aud songs.. A jelly supper we had of It; and after the table was clear¬ ed, tbe old greasy pack of cards came out. I aupposo we were flushed and excited by the hard cider we had been drinking, for that night we did what I have never dbnfi since; we gambled. We began by smkll beta of a penny or so on the game, buf^doubled the stakes as the esolteinent deepened, and got perfectly infatuated as the coins were won and lost. We had just a dollar and thirteen cents among us. The money changed hands a good many times, as we played on hour after hour. It was long past midnighj, when Bob had sixty-four cents and Sye held forty- nine, and the rest of us had nothing.
"It is time we stopped this. I'll play one more game witli you, Morgan, and put up all I've got."
"All right," said Bob, promptly; "sixty-four to your forty-nine. Hal will hold the chink, and I say whoever sweeps the stakes sliall give the money back to each boy, just as it was at the outset."
" I won't do any such babyish trick, I thank you. I am old enough to play for keeps."
" Just as yon please ; but, for my part, if I win the whole, I'll divide; it'a good fun to play thia way; but I would feel queer with olher people'a money jing¬ ling in my pocket."
" You would not feel any more queer than anybody else ; don't try to be a saint. Bob.   It's my deal."
The game began in good earnest. Hal Wallace stood looking on, the reat of us were not paying auy attention to it, when presently I heard Bob call out, in a sharp, excited tone:
"It's a cheat! chetit!   You cheated me, Syke Martin; I saw you !" " You lie!" cried Syke, in a rage. Bob sprang to his feet quick as a fla.sh, picked up a mug of cider, and threw it al Syke's head.
With a snarl like a wild beast, Syke sprang over the lable, and gave back a tremendous blow. Bob staggered back¬ ward a step or two, and then fell. His head struck against the andiron, and t.'ien dropped helplessly down on a log of wood, and the flames leaped up aud caught his bair. In an instant we liad dragged him away from the fire, and smothered the flame; but we could not rouse him. He lay on the floor, quite stunned and lifeless, a dreadful sight. His head was scorched and blackened. A ghastly wound waa in his temple, antl the blood trickled over his palid face. "He looks like dead; a IJlow there always kills anyone," said somebody. "No such thing," said Syke Martin, with a husky voice, and his face white as ashes. "He is making believe to scare us. See here! No playing hoky. Bob Morgan ;" and, in his desperation, Syke shook the lifeless figure, and li fled it up in a sitting posture. Tlie blooil gushed afresh from tho wound, and started from the noso and mouth. Syke uttered a horrible oath. " He is dead!" he cried out, in agony. "Tliey'Il hang me! O hideme—saveme!" and, drop¬ ping his hold, he fled from the room.
The body fell back on the floor with a heavy thud. If there ever was a despe¬ rate set of boys, it was the five who gathered rouud poor Bob tliat night. We dared not feteli a doctor to that room, and Bob's home was a mile and a half away. We worked over hira for more than half an hour. We rubbed him and put cold water on his head, but he did not rouse from his unconscious state.
Tiien we gave up trj'ing, and carried him home. I don't know how we man¬ aged it, stumbling down tbe rickety stairs and over the rough road ; but we stood at last on the broad porch of Sher¬ iff Morgan's house, aud laid Hob's mo¬ tionless form dowu at the threshold. Then the four other boys went noiseless¬ ly out of the gate, and left rae alone. I counted two hundred—as we had agreed —to give thera a chance to get a safe distance from the houso.
The sound rang like a knelloutupon the still night. The horror of death came upon me; that half-defined form lay darker than darkness on the thresh¬ old. Was it death or life? No sound came from within the house; the air was thick and stifling-it choked me. Once more I knocked loudly.
The knell-like sound rang out again. It mtidemewild with fear and anguish. I called aloud, "Help! help! O, for God's sake, come! Help!" Then I ran. l had promised liie boys tbat I would slay aud see Bob's father, and tell him what was necessary; butan uncontroll¬ able impulse seized me, aud I rushed down tbe street as if a thousand fiends were in pursuit of me. I did not g<> home, 'i'lieie was no home for me. I looked up to the skj', and down to the earth. The. heavens and eartli were wide and dark, but not wide enough or dark enough to hiile me from my.self. .My guilt arose aud confronted me ; the glamour of fun and frolic vanished ; all disguises fell away. In tbat oue night I had scorned my parents ; I had lied ; I had drank ; I iiad stolen ; I had gam- hied. Howblackand hurriblethe record looked. I longctl unutterably for for¬ giveness. It seemed as if it would kill me to keep my sin unconfessed in my lieart. I turned sharp about, and wilb swift steps went back to Mr. JNIorgaii's. The house was all astir; lights were passing to and fro, and tlie doctor's gig was at the gate. Mr. Jtorgan himself opened the door. Tbe light of the can¬ dle flared in my face. " It is I, sir," I stammered. " Come in. You can tell us what all this means."
" Yes, sir, I came lo tell you; and—" Here I burst out with a great sob, and stopped.
"Speak plain," said tlie sherift" stern¬ ly. Y'ou cau cry afterwards. What I want just now is tbe truth, asx>Iain and sliort as possible."
That nerved me up a liltle, ami I told him all; all that you know, except the names of the boys. Mr. Morgan's face grew hard and stern as he listened to it. "That ia all?" he aaked, wheu I paused. " Yes, sir."
" Go liome, anil tell your father all that J'OU have told me. Y'ou are on a track that will lead you to ruin, body and soul; better that my boy dies to¬ night, than ou thegallowstwentvyears from now."
I went home, and told mj- father.— He waa a wise man. He did not re¬ prove or punish nie. He wiaeij- conclu¬ ded that my puuishment come from a liiglier hand than bis, aud that its lessmi would never be forgotten. *?
It was many weeks before Bob Mor¬ gan was out of danger; solemn weeks they were to me, aud all the boys; but he came out all right at last, and is to¬ day himself sherifTof one of tbe north¬ ern counties of Illihois.
As for Syke Sfartin, ho disappeared that night from Waterford village, and has never been heard of since.—Little Corporal.	
Our Republican Presiiieut is not one of tbe strait-laced kind, and don't cire a fig about etiquette. He and his wife pay social visits to their friends, and diue or sup with them occasionally, just like other folks. The old Court etiquette tbat the President must not call on or visit other persons ia uot regarded by General Grant.

The Increase of the extraordinary expenses Is owing to the fact, that during the past year a number of cells huve been clad or plated with boiler iron, tlvo new furnaces have been put in; also, a new stable or hog-sty has been built. The inside cell doors, which wero replaced last year, adiJud also to tho unusual expense, net having been paid until the present year.
The whole number of days prisoners were boarded the past year was 46,1CG ; 18,193 at 30 cents a day ; 25 at 15 cents a day ; 22,435 at 28 cents a day, and 6,513 at 25 cents a day. amounting In all to S13,121.- 70, an average of Sl-ti93.47X per month. Tho num¬ ber the previous year was 35,805 days, costing SIO,- 51)0.15, and averaging S830.0lJt per month, being an Increase the past over the preceding year of £213.461^ per month average.
Tho cost of maintenance of vagrants this year amounts to $7,369-17, against 35,057.55 last year, being an increo-so of 32,311.82. The aggregate num¬ ber of days prisonuru have been boarded and con¬ fined, was 10,361 more in 1S69 than in 1868.
Tho mauuiacturlng operations during the year produced a- follows : 5,iri0}i yards carpet for sale, 2,u5Iji yarda cariiet for customers, 1,-138 yards bag- ging,i,5C:i piilrs liooUi andslioes made and raondou, 525,400 cigars raaile, 1,742 baskets made, 12 dozen grain bags made, 610 fish aud fiy nets and seines made, and 55,750 skewers.
There were manufactured goods on hand to the amountof 35,146.62, consisting among other arti¬ cles of 2,967 yards carpet for sale, 745 baskets of various sizes, 29 5-12 dozen grain bags, 563 fish and fly nets, and 1,300 yards bagging.
The profits of the labor uf the prisoners for the past year were S2,0DS.Oi;, as shown by the 8tatt;moot of gain and loss, which is 31,714.72 less than in IbCS, and SI,6il.60 more than In 1867. The actual cost of the Prison the preceding year was $10,014.- 3, being only S4,360.Ci less than the past year, not¬ withstanding thu exceedingly large amount ex- ponded for repairs, iurnaces, buildings and main¬ tenance of the greatly increased uumber of va¬ grants committed during tho year ending Novem¬ ber 30th, I8B9.
