Mother left you because she hadn't food, nor care, nor nothing she needed, nyther when she was sick nor when she was pain' better._ She thought a spell o' rest would do her good; she knowed by that smart contraok yoa got out of 'her that you owed her a livin.' anyhow, and you habil done a thing to'rds it sense she went to her own house. Now I don't call that conduct honest by no means, mechless Christian." “Jedge not, Samwell Pratt. Scripter no less 7ia statoot law commands a wife to be sabjeck to her hasband. Sarepty had what I had. Idone what I jedged best for her, and instead of subrnittin.' to her head, she up and went off to live by herself, and ler me to git along as I eould. 1 wahit noway bound by no la* nor no contrack to supply her with means so long as she went away from her dooties, ,and made me an as- tonishment an' a hissin' in Israel, so to speak.," "Stop right there 1" broke in Mabel, furious. "I've heard say the devil could fetch Soripter to further his own parposes, and.I b'lieve it. Didn't you have no duties to your wife? Don't the Bible say you've got to love and cherish hr? Don't ten. me ! I lived here long enough to see yeti starve and browbeat end torment her; I know your mean, hateful, crabbed ways, and I don't, knowi how she lived with, you so long. She ought to have run away years ago; and if foiks do hiss at you, it's moren time they did. Christian —you a Christian! You're a dyed-in- the-wool hypoorite. If you're pious, I hope I shall be a reprobate." "1 ha'n't no doubt but what yon will be, young woman," answered the dea- con, with cold fury. "You'd ought to be put under the pump this rainint for a common scold. Get out of my house right off !" And with this he adVancecl upon her. But Sam Pratt, lifting the old lady in his arms, carried her away, and gently shoved ,slabel.glowing with rage, before them till they reached the wagon. Then he himself went back and tried to naake terms with tb.e deacon. At last, moved by the worldly wisdom of Sam's argu- ment, that it would put him in a bad light before people if be refused to do anything for his wife, he did agree to let her have half of his share of the pro- duce from her farm, if Sam and Mind-; well would provide for her other wants ; and making the best of a bed bargain, the poor woman retired to the old house which Sam had repaired, so thas most of it wee habitable; and Mabel, who had agree 1 to teach the district school : the next year, took up her abode .with her. Now the deacon had a clear field, ' and appeared in the arena of Bassett in the character of. an injured and for- saken husband. His prayers at meetiug were longer aua more eloquent than ever, .. and the church, sympathiziug with his sorro ws —the itude mem bees especially depr aesting 'air. Flint's ex- ample, leat it should some time be fol- lowed by their own wire—unanimous- ly agreed to withdraw their fellowship from Mrs. Flint a peneeediug in kind, if uot in ti. g..ee, like the anathema of the papacy. The poor old woman quiv- ered undor She blow imparted to her by Parson Ret.erts, awful in the dignity of his offiee Teal u hew wig. But the par- son was letmerin and the teieek grief of the wonotet, set off by -efsatss blazing it). - &potion, worked tipon his honest soul, and caused him to doubt a little the church's wisdern. Mab had followed him aoross the door yard to the gate in order to "free her mind." "I wa.nt to know what you wanted that poor woman to do, Parson Roberts. She was dyin' by inches for want of vittles fit to eat, and the care most folks would give a sick ox. Do you think, now, honest, she'd ought to have staid with that old wretch ?" - "Speak not evil of dignities, young woman. Amasy Flint is a deacon of Bassett church; it does not become you so to revile him." . his glitteriug generality did not cla nt Mab o moment. "I don't care if he was deacon in the New Jerusalem, or minister either; if he was the angel Gabriel, and acted the way he did. act, I shouldn't have no faith in his piety, nor no patience with his prayers." Parson Roberts glared at her over his spectacles with pions horror. "What 1 what ! what I" he sternly cried. "Who. be you that set in judgment on yOur elders and betters V' '1'm one that's seen him where you haven't, anyway, nor your church mem- bers.. I've lived• to his house, and I know him like a book." Was it possible, the parson thought, that Brother Flint might have been in fault—just a little? But he was faith- fulto his dogmas and his education. D° not excuse the woman's Bin. She haS left her lawful husband, threatened to Swear the peace &gadget a Christian Man whom she was bound by human and -divine law to obey, and caused a scandal and a disturbance in the fold of Christ. Is this a light matter, you daughter of Belied?" Mab laughed --laughed in the par- son's face, in full front of his naajestic wig, his awful spectacles, his gold - headed cane uplifted in the heat of argument. He could not see that she was a 'little hysterical; he grew i red with ungodly rage; but Mab did not care a pin. "You ain't a fool, Parson Roberts," elle said, undauntedly. "You've got eyes in yosir head, and you'd know, if yoiS'd use 'em; that Aunt Flint is a weak sister anyway. She wouldn't turn no sooner'n the least vsorni that ever was; but Sive will turn; if you tread right on 'am. And whatever you saels you know jest as well as I do that Arnasy Flint drove her into leavin' him, and drove her with a whip of scorpions, as the Bible tells about." . "Woman, do you mean to say ',lie ?- thundered the parson. "Well, yes, if you don't tell the truth," returned Mob, completely at bay now. An audible chuckle betrayed Some listener, and the parson, turning round, beheld. old Israel silently un- loading a wheelbarrow load of potatoes at the corner of the fence, and wonder- ed in his soul how long the man had I been there, but considered it the better s part of valor to leave the scene now that it had ceased to be tete-a-tete; so he o waved his hand at Mab with a gloomy e scowl, and went his way. "Land o' libefty !" ejaculated the old t man, drawing the back of his hand T across his mouth to smother a laugh, "didn't yon give him jesse 1 I swan you're the gal for a free fight, nos. He's heerd the fac's in the case if he never did afore. Of all things 1 What be you a-cryin for now, eh?" For Mob a real woman, had. flung her apron. over her face, and. was sobbing violen - ly. Uncle Israel gently tried to pu I the cheek screen away, but she held o to it. "Let me cry," she said. "I ain t sorry; I'm mad, and I've got to cry it out." "Well," said Israel, returning to his potatoes, and slowly shaking his head, "women folks air the beatered. I doa't know nothing about 'em, and 1I'm five - an' -sixty year old come -Friday. Lor- dy 1 there ain't no riddles nOr Chinee puzzle ringato compare with lern, hed a wife an' lost a wife, praise the Lord ! bat I never was sure o' her, evens I wouldn't no more try it again than I'd slip down into a bee tree, for there's fall as much stings as, honey to 'em, and take an everidge, I guess• there's more." Whether or not the parson's silent ideas coincided with those Israel ex, pressed isnot for the ignorant ohronicler to say, but it is certain that hiscandid and generous soul was so far moved by Mob's tirade, he denied and defied it during its delivery, that the next day he resolved to call in a coun- cil of his neighboring brethren to discose the matter, and indorse or reprObate the action of his own church. So he wrote to the Reverend Ami Dobbins, of Dorset, and the Reverend Samuel Jehoram Hill, of Bi better better known as, Father Hill, and in compliance with his request they re- paired to Bassett and investigated the matter. Being advised of the Pastor, who had had his .experiences, theylwent to Mrs. Flint's during school hioura, and Mabel had no chance to pour out her soul before them; they encountered only a pale, depressed, weak woman who was frightened out of what little heart was left her by past trials, when these two august personages came into her presence, and with severe countenl- ances began their catechism of her life with Deacon Flint. As in the case o't many' another woman, her terror, he humiliation, and a lingering desire 6 shield her husba,nd from. his own miS- deeds, all conspired against her; her testimony was tearful, confused and contradictory, though through it all she did feebly insist on her Own sufferingsl, and depicted them in honest 'colors. From her they went to the deacon, whom they found resigned, pious and -loftily superior to common thinga; then • he was a man, and a deacon 1 Is it 6 be wondered at that their letter to the - church at Bassett was in the deacon's favor? • They did. indeed own that Mrs. Flint had "peouliar trials," but went on to say : "Nevertheless, she cannot be fully justified, but has departed from meek- ness and a Christian spirit. parti- cularly iu indulging angry and passion- ate expressions, tending to provoke and irritate her husband; and howeyer un- justifiable his conduct may be, that doth net exculpate her. We think that it would be proper aned suitable for her to make suitable reflections ; .acknowl; edge she hath given her brethren and sisters of the church occasion of stum- bliug and to be dissatisfied ; and upon her manifesting a becoming spirit of meekness and love, we think they ought to restore her; but if she shouid refuse to make such reflections, they canno consistently receive her." And with a few added remarks on the perplexity of the case, and advising the 'church to call an ecclesiitstica.1 council' the Reverend Ami D011sbins and Father Hill retired for the present. Bat Bassett Was not content. Weeke passed, and no act of confession or cop1 trition came from this poor old offender. To tell the truth, Mabel stood behind her now, afire with honest rage at the way she had been put upon. tri "You sha'n't do it, aunty 1" ;she said with all her native vehemence. . l 'You confess like that 1 It is that old hypocrite's place to confess. He drove you out, now when you get down to it, and he hain't asked you to come back that I've heard tell. I'd let him and the church, and Bassett too, go to thunder if they're a mind too. If you make 'suitable reflections' they:11 reflect on old Flint and Baseett church members. Dear me I know one thing: I'd_rather be an old maid ten times over than married to that maul". A faint enaile crept over the old wo- man's pale face ; from her high pillows she had a good outlook, and more than once she had seen an interview by the little gate that did not augur long mai- denhood for Mab. . "Well, Mabel, if that's your say, why, it behooves you to be real cau- tious, though I dole' know as Sam • Pratt's brother could be &flyways other than good." . Mab blushed like a Provence rose, but said nothbag ; yet day after day kept hardening her aunt's heart as well as she knew how; and Parson Roberts re- ceiving no ''reffections" from the offend- er, and having great faith in Father Hill's power of persuasion invited him to come again by himeelf and hold a conversation with Sister Flint on the subject of her trials aud con- tumacy. Father Hill was o quaint gentle, sweet -natured old man, steeped, how- ever, in the prejudices of his time and his faith; he, too, went to the house mailed with his fixed assurances of ecclesiastical dignity and martial su- premacy. Synapathy, pity, comprehen- sion of her side of the case, would have disarmed Mrs. Flint completely ; she would have sobbed, confessed, laid her hand on her mouth and her mouth in the dust, and been ready to own her- self the chief of sinners; but to be placed in the wrong from the first, re- proved, admonished and treated as an impenitent and hardened culprit, made it easier for her weak nature to accept the situation than to defy or deny it. Nothing Father,Hill could say moved I her, but her dull and feeble bstinacy stirred his tender heart to its depths; he felt a despair of human mans and a yearning tenderness that coilld find no outlet but in prayer; he fell on his knees before the chair in which he had been sitting, and lifted his earnest face to heaven. "0 dear Lord and Master," he Said, peaking even as a man unto his friend, 'Thou hast borne ow. griefs and carried ur sorrows. Thou knowest by heart very pain and woe that we feel ; a tranger cannot interrneddle, bat 0 hon Hope of Israel, why shouldest hou be as a stranger that passeth by, and wayfaring man that tarrieth but a night, in this dwelling of thy hand - Mal ?
