JIM.
H HURON EXPOSIT,
Yr,
APRIL 6 1877.
We belonged to. the earplug population,
Jim and I, but we did not know it. The
big world into which we came was crowd-
ed to overflowing with just such. pony,
unwashed, ill -fed little wretches as we
were, but we didn't know it. and sit we
came unconcious into the sunless, teem-
ing alley, where countless others 'like
ourselves herded. We didn't know we
'were a problem, Jim and I ; we didn't
know that we and our kind were ba ling
the wisdom of statesmen, Jim and I ;
' but if we had known all about it, I doubt
if we could have occupied the situation
more philosophically. We slept as
soundly in the under -ground cellar, down
whose oozy steps the rain and ruin of
years made slippery passage, or lees vied
. ourselves as naturally, if need be, ander
some stranded way -side cart, as :if it
-• were precisely the thing Heaven had
adapted us for from the beginning.
Jim was older and bigger than 1; a
tall, likely lad, fifteen of these hardening
and toughening years had niade him
keen and sharp as a terrier, and justthe
lad to look after a forlorn waif of a, little
girl like myself. And Jim, after he had
blacked boots all day, or sold newepa., pers
of an afternoon was sure to look after
me, and Ave took supper together mitt of
the same bowl of porridge.
Jim wasn't my brother, oh no ! I !used
to wish he was my brother though, setnee
times, just because I was so proud of
him.
The old man that kept the cellar, you
see, had picked Jim up from- somewhere
when his folks, died, and picked me up
from somewhere when my folks died, and
so we had somehow fallen together all
along.,
Just down beyond the jog of our alley,
where it turned a oft of gray comer,
' and was darker and dirtier than ever—
just there there stood an old gray church
with a clock in the tower"; an old, old
Mossy church, and an old, old clack that
passed its withered hands over its wizen-
ed face, and looking sleepily through
thein down into our alley on one etde,
• and into a busy, noisy thoroughfare on •
the other. This old clock had dozed
there till its head was all on one aide,
and you couldn't be sure whether it told
the right time or not ; but of a Summer
afternoon, when it was getting quite dusk
down in our alley, a red ray from the
setting sun used to settle for a 1 minute
;right down on the face of the sleepy old
'clock '• then it would seem to rause up
, out of a pleasant dream, and strike the
' hour as sharp as need be, and., then I
knew it was time to. look out far Jim.
I'd see him turn the corner, -with l his old
, straw hat on, and his patched shoes, or
!barefoot maybe, for that matter, and we'd
set off for a stroll together—a stroll to
! 1
the wharves.
We generally haunted the av1har es.
_ !Jim and I, where we went a -pleasuring.
They were so grand, the wharves, 80
!busy, the wharves, so full of light and
fresh air, the wharves, so altogether if-
Iferent from our alley, with the ships
crowding round them, and the fluttering
flags here and there on the mast, and
!the busy sailors getting in freights.
Sometimes Jim would get a job for half
I
:an hour, and leave me lurking among the
cotton bales, or sitting solitary in settle
safe corner till he came back. He al-
ways came back. And then sometiroes
- ,
we would linger there till night -fall.
Then the wharf was solemn and I silent,
and you could hear the water rushing up
against the great beams underneath, and
see here and there a light gleaming from
some lone lantern among the shrouds,
and the gray water stretching beyond,
we knew not whither; and if Jim and I
had awned it all, we couldn't have loved
it better.
But one day Jim got a job that lasted
longer than usual, and I grew scared and
uneasy as night came on and he didn't
come back. Wandering from place to
place where he had set me, shy and fear-
some as a water -rat, but as determined,
I looked for him everywhere, but in vain;
then I went back to my post, for hadn't
he said, as he always said, "Don't be
afraid, Jenny ; I'll come back, for sure, -
you know?" And then I waited .and
• waited, till finally I fell asleep amen
the bales and barrels, and forget my
troubles.
1 In the morning, a forlorn and desolate
little creature enough, I learned free]
sorne compassionate 'longshoreman that
the great ship where Jim had been at
work had sailed away with him on
board. A wild and passionate burst . of
weeping greeted this news, and a pitiful
throng of people gathered about wee.
freight . men and sailors mostly, ileut
anamag them suddenly appeared the quiet
face of a Quaker lady, Who was distribut-
ing books among the sailors. They told
her my tale, and seeing me utterly
friendless, she wiped my tear -stained
face with Flier white hankerchief, and
'took me away. I had no friends. I was
no better !than a masterless clog, and
worth far less. But she took Inc to a
great clean, bare, and quiet place—an
institution they called it—where there
were many others as homeless and
wretched as I. And there they washed
me and made me go clean and. fresh that
I thought the real me, the ragged, red -
eyed, unkempt surplus atom of hamanity
d that had been me, was gone away over
P the seas with Jim, and -this rosy-cbeeked
child was another me, newly come into
the world.
Then one clay there came a grand and
stately lady, who took me away tolive
with her, and be her own little girl.
lady wore shining silks, ancl lived in a
splendid house, and had a lad in a velvet
• jacket who was about as big as Jim..It
was all like a strange bright dream, if I
could have only forgotten Jim. But I
could not. .
Jim was surplus Population no longer ;
perhaps he was drowned ; his ragged
jacket and crownless hat rnight be buried
about me now wore pa.tched shoes, r
o
now away down under the sea. Nobody
trowsers out at the knees, and nobody,
it seerrEed to me, not even Louis, who
was so kind and good. to me, not even he,
had an eye as bright and soft as Jim's,
or a hand as warm. And so I never
forgot Jim, but always in my heart of
hearts 1 seemed listening and. waiting for
hira.
Sonaetimes I used to lure Louis ,down
to the wharves, and always when I
walked by I myself my steps turned,
thitherwarel, and. thus it was that I never
lost sight of the ships, and diinly, faint-
ly, unreasonably, looking for the return
of Jirn.
But it began to be years since dear old
Jim went away, and Louis was a tall
youth honae from_ college, and 1 was—
well, folks called me a young lady, and
said that I would marry Louis some day.
And perhaps they might have been right;
but, how could I be a lady—a real lady,
you know—with an old straw hat and a
ragged jacket stowed away in my heart?
Even after I grew up, I hid fits of silent
fretting for Jim that seemed as if they
would eat my life away, Mrs. Belden
said it was because I was growing, and
she took me away one bright summer to
the sea -shore,; Oh, the sea-ahore 1 I can
not tell you what / felt when I first saw
the sea—the real sea -=stretching away
from the -white line of 'shore, throbbing
and sounding as it briitim,ed to the bort-
zon's edge; This was the sea, the glori-
ous sea ; the :sea mio longer grimy and
smoky and gray with getting its living,
but the tea translated, purified, made
holy as if !after death. Thei days went
and came shining and beautiful ; and
every day I walked on the shore with
Louis; ran raoes With the breeze, picked
.up shells, or gathered sea -weed, or watch-
ed the sunset gilding the sails of SOMO
far -flitting, ship. Louis's 'face was sweet
in those days, and kind as sunlight; and
his voice washioft 'and tow when he spoke
to me, for he!said we were old friends
now, and had knowneach ether so Many
years that wel ought teloviteacii Other al-
ways. One afternoon we strayed farther
than usual, and the twilight deepening
as we walked, I think we both forgot
every thing savt, that we were youngand
happy, and life Was glorious. Love !
The word dropped, warm ,tom his lips,
and seemed to color all intr future with
rose tints. • All my past seemed sinking
out of sight. The gates of Palradise were
open, and 1 was free to walk 'therein if I
would. .Not for inc the bareness, the
disappointinent, that blighted other
lives. I might make mil what I would,
with wealth and love for my servants,
and luxury and joy at my commaud.
Ah, well I remember that afternoon by
the seal—the long line of white beach,
the overhanging cliffs, the twilight touch-
ing the water with a golden glow, and
glittering on the tall niaena, and a .ship
lying at anchor beyond.. ! Oh, life was
so beautiful !--oh, love was so beautiful!
A lightness of heart, a capacious, intan-
gible, elf -like mood fell upon ine, born
perhaps of the very overflow of hliss. I
remember clasping my hands as I skipped
along, and challengine Louis to a race.
Perhaps he had urgeeme- too -persistent-
ly to respond to his affection, to say when
I would bohis wife. a Wife ! I wanted
to be no one's wife just then, but °illy to
love and to live. Would T answer him ?
sighed Louis. ! ,
"Atthen you catch me," I responded,
Anockingly, flitting along the sand.
Away I went, with LoU113 following,
breathless. We rounded the curve of
the shore, and I was just about sinking
down upon . the sand to wait for him,
when an old boat with a broken oar
caught my eye ; it lay swinging in the
shadow 'just where a great rock _over-
hung the beach. Lightly, thoughtlessly,
I stepped into the tiny craft, and waving
my handkerchief laughingly to Louis,
caught up the oar and set niyself afloat.
I scarcely thought what I was doing ; it
was a mere caprice born of lightness of
heart and youthful thoughtlessness.
But a single glance at LOMB'S counte-
nance roused Inc to the folly I was com-
mitting.
•°00rne back' ! -come back !" be cried ;
"the current will carry you*out of reach
in a inonaent !" .! ,
Still laughing,II endeavored to obey.
Dextrously I worked the broken oar,
diligently I steadied, the frail little ves-
sel ; 'but all my efforts only seemed to
bear me -further and further from 'the
anxious face that was watching me.
Perhaps if Louis .then had plunged
into the water, a few strong strokes of
his arm might have reached and saved
me. I do not know. LOUiS was no
swimmer; and, besides'that Was not his
, way of doing things. He was a deliber-
ate and thoughtful rather . than a rash
:wad venturesome nature. He 'called to
me eagerly that he was going for help e
I should wait ; I should drop the oar ;
in a few moments he would get a boat.
I saw him h tening along the shore at
the top of hi speed ; I saw the solitary
shore, and deserted fisher huts, the far
stretches of sand he would have to travel
before reaching the little fisher village;
I saw it all,! but dimly now, for I was
floating further and further away. '
Wearily I dropped the oar and sank
back in the boat. Surely I need do
nothing more. Oh, surely Louis would
rescue me ! he would not let me die alone
within reac&! of his loving ,arms ! Night,
was creeping on, with twilight on its
garment's hem. I could see that lone
and shadowy ship lying at anchor beyond
the bar. If only I could reach that ship!
But the current would drift me past her
in an instant. • Wildly and longingly now
I called for help, stretching my arms out
yearningly toward that silent vessel ;
hut nothing answered mee The shore
had grown far and dim, and dimly,
strangely the stars coming out witlitheir
unfamiliar beauty made nte afraid. Sad,
solitary, and deserted, was Tgoing to my
death out of all, that bright afternoon,
that overflowing love, that fullness of
life and pleasures proffered inc ? -
Afraid ? Well, yes, I was afraid ; for
one brief moment, as I cowered back
into the boat, shrinking in the solitude
of the awful waste of waters, a fear of
that unknown World into which } seent-
-ed sailing oppressed me. But , I be-
thought myself that if I must die, it
were bettertodie bravely. Perhaps I
was going to meet Jim. If - he were in
the other world, - that ought to be a
cheep?' thought. No doubt - he died
bravely. But was he dead? Jim, my
old stanch friend, whose glad good face
ha_d brightened my wretched childhood,
oh, where was he?
'It is said in the hour of death tke
memory of past events is preternaturally
vivid. And, as my mind reverted to
those old clays, forgetting my later life,
forgetting my later friends, and forget-
ting Louis, I felt sure that I was going
to die. A trance of peace fell upon me,
in which I seemed to clasp Jim's warta
hand again, as in days of old. Jun !
Jim ! I called aloud, rousing myself as
from a dream, yet dreaming still. Bat
nothing answered inc. The darkness
was growing deeper',the current more
tepid, and Louis, with his soft taper
fingers would never reach me now.
' Unconcioue, half delirious, I must
have been, perhaps, for it seemed to me
that Jim on whose name I 'called, was a
spirit, and that his presence, somewhere
near me, vta,s upholding me in this hour
of need; as I drifted further and further
away from all earthly help. How long,
I know not ; how far, I know not ; it
seemed to me I had been on the way all
- eternity, and --,Had. I or had I hot -
heard through that death -dream an
answering cry ? 'Did,I or did I not see
mistily, as through a veil, the spans and
shrouds Of that silent vessel that had
stood afar off, watching my struggle
with deata ? And, great God ! was it
Jim's face—dear old Jirn's face—bending
over me, and we this heaven?

"Oh, yes, ma'am," aid I, roueing my-
self ; "quite stron — stronger than

I was stronger than ever; since that

rent, and risking his ife to help an un-
known waif, uriwitti g that it was hie

thoughts had came ci wding in upon me,
scaring inc with t eir strength, and
making Me ashamed f the idle siikea
life I was leading. know not what
premonition of char. e, of banishment,
was tugging at my he rt this Morning as
I looked out over the gleaming waters!,
and filled my eyes wi di tears.
"You are sorry to le ye the sea -shore ?"
said Mrs. Belden.
"/ was thinkingrof Tim," said I, hon-
estly. "How can 1 have Jim ?"
,Mrs. Belden's face milled.
"Jenny," said she, severely, "of
course we all think a deal of your sailor
friend for saving your life ; but you,must
be aware that he is no fit companion for
you, and that his coestant attendance
upon.you since that accident has been
mattsir of much annoy %nee both to. myself
and Louis,"
At that Monaent Louis's tall figure
appeared it the door, a queer smile was
on his pale thin face, as holding out his
long white hand to me, be said, "Jenny,
your sailor's below."
"I have just been telling Jenny," said
Mrs. Belden, "that we must get her
away from the sea -shore to tree her from
these low associates."
Low associates !--Ji, my prince of
men, my savior!
"I see but one course," added Mrs.
Belden, its Louis stood silent.
I too saw but one course; and yet
these two had been so kind to me all
these years, they had made my life so
luxurious and pleasurable: should I go
away froth them into the obscurity and
poverty of iny early life again?
At that moment Jim's sunburned face
appeared a the door. tie stood with
his cap in his hand, eager yet modest,
his face ali ht, his eyes gleaming behind
Louis's thi , calm countenance., "I sail
the day. a ter to -morrow, Jenny," he
said, "and I couldn't risk the chance of
not seeing you."
oh by the window
Mrs. Beltn made a haughty gesture
with her h na, as if she would have or-
dered off t e intruder.
"Wait, other," said Louis, calmly.
"Of course Jenny's god sense will tell
her what is right, and he belongs to me,
you know.'
I saw Jim give a .; eat start. The
blood flushed up heti , in his brosen
cheeks. Tiere was a pause for a mo-
ment ; the Jim said, •assing his hand
over his for head, as if he were not quite
clear as to hat he he rd,

"Louis," said I, , "I have loved you
with these, and perhaps for these; but I
loved Jim without the. long ago, and I
will love him without t ern the rest of
my life. Forgive me, ouis ; I am not
tit, as you see, for weal h and splendor;
it is natural to me to re urn to, my kind.
Come, let us part in pe ce."
Mrs. Belden rose; hr eyes were like
the fla,ming 'sword tha drove out Adam
and Eve from Paradise. She would have
spurned us from her, pr sence.
Bat Louis laid his ha d calmly on her
shoulder. "Mother," . aid be, "Jenny

I have often said to ,im since, as we
two are chatting in the cabin of Jim's
good ship, "Captain Jim, Louis was a
gentleman, after all, though he wasn't
man -enough to save my life."
