CAL CULVER AND THE
DE VILI.
•
Polly was eross naturally; hermothn
ea was oross ; her father fairly growled.
Thel3asagstemper was proverbial in
Bassett, and new it was in active ex-
ercise, for housecleaning would test an
angers amia,bility, mat tries that of com-
mon mortals to the extremest limit,
even unto utter failure; why should
a bad temper 1fai1 to find it exasperat-
ing? But how much more furious
.would Pollythi have been had she
known of that discussion as to her fu-
ture which was being held on the fair
breast of Long Lake, While the bud-
ding trees shed soft shadows into the
water, white clouds gently sailed aleng
its depths, the fraesrant teluctant breath
of a New England spring sighed tender-
ly over wade and shore,and Goland Jim
slaughtered little fishes With relentless
hook and line,as they discussed a deeper
angling with a livelier bait ! Would she
ever have risen to their hook? Never! -
But no officious telephone betrayed
them ; time arol space kept the secret
with their ancient . honesty. They are
demoralized now, and that which is
spoken in the bed -chamber is declared
on the heuse-top, even on the house -top
miles away. WhO shall ever know
safety of speech again?
•Pollythi Bangs was all that Jim Bee -
bee had painted her, and perhaps more:
strong of body arid will both; imperious,
qt. -lick -tempered, and. absolutely unre-
straiped in speech.' She iuherited all
these traits from a father and mother so
-alike ia charaoter that they never were
at peace with each other or their child.
Peace, indeed, was state uuknown in
the flange family, arta so notorious were
their quarrels, so continuous their wars
and fightings, that the hill half -way up
-which their old farm -house stood was
known all through Bassington town-
ship as Squabble Hill --e, name borne
by it to -day. • But if Polly ,Bangs was a
scold. she was also smart, a great d work-
er,ti anda woman avl o conld turn her

Starve
round,
count the next Sunday, and so settle this
peculiar wager. Jim accordingly went
to meeting armed with a paper of big
pins, and at each mention of the: devil
made by the parson'stu.ck one of them
upright in the front edge of the gallery
where he silt. A fine row they made
before that day was over -thirteen for
the mornituk sermon, fifteen for the af-
ternoon's discourse, and positively
twenty by evening.
• Jim won his bet and triumphed!
Brief exultation! The parson's keen eye
had noticed his fixed attention, and a
peering ray of sunshine had twinkled
on the -new' pins. He was a man, after
all, of mortal flesh and: blood, and to
have attested. the attention of such' an
incorrigible idler and "chuckle head"
as he hadinan ore thonce stigmatized.
Jim Boeb-e did the natural man a deal
of good, and imparted power and fer-
vency; to Isis address. Re could not
quite xplain the pins, but tried hard. to
believe Jim was so absorbed in the dis-
course he -did not -know What he was
about. E en so have I known a mod-
