Tlini LITTLE DISH-
WASHER
She stood before the dish -pan, with a
questioning and perplexed expression on
her nweet young face.
It was August,. and she had washed
dishes ever eince the first of June.
These particular dishes.wereparticular-
Iy exasperating.. As Huldah said to
herself -she was never known to utter
a fault-finding word in any other hear-
ing -they were "all stuck up." How
tired she was of scraping and scrubbing,
and washing, and rinsing, andi polish-
ing, none but her weary little self ever
thought.
ne teaspoons were stained with eggs,
aud sanee-plates were rough with sugar
andieerry-juice. Then there Were oat-
meal pans, and pots, desd kettles with-
out number.- The great rambling fatm
house was full of sumtner boarders, and
IIuldah surveyed the pan full and the
table fall of dishes, piled up as high as
they could be without danger of a tum-
ble, and wondered how she ever could
go on washing the sticky thing", for the
next two months; for these boarders
always remained in the country through
September. After they went away
Ifuldah could go to school, and -better
than all -there wound. be a little time
for piano practice, which was more. to
this little girl than everything else in
the world. The proprietor of this house
and farm was not Haidah's own father.
He had died when she was an infant.
Her step -father, John Blaisdell, was
called by his Long Island neighbors an
unustunly "fore -handed man." Fere-
handed in this connection meant "close
fisted," for this farmer worked like a
slave to make money, and •racked his
brain day and night to devise means for
saving it. In order to make this house
popular for summer boarders, there
must be a piano in the parlor, comfort-
able, cosy furniture, and a luxurious
table. The piano came hard, but it
was a good one, and little Hulda.h was
provided with a teaober for the fall and
winter months, wbo agreed to furnish
the necessary instructibn for twenty-five
casts & lesson. There was one lesson a
week. This was paid for on the spot
by Mrs. Blaisdell, who to use her own
pbraseology, iiskinched it oat of the
butter money." , Mr. Blaisdell said that
"of all the hifaleitin notions, this was
the hifalutinest.!" And as he was never
near ettocigh the'parlor to be bothered
with the "strumming," as he called it,
he soon forgot all about the matter.
"I wonder how girls feel that never
have to wash ashes?" Hulda1i asked as
she commenced her scraping. "I won-
der if it is wicked to feel iike breaking
thines? I always feel like breaking
dishbes. Perhaps I shall throw 'em all
out of the window some da," and the
little girl laughed as she saw, in her
imagination, cups, saucers, plates, sou-ptareens, and oat meal pots -.flying one
after another into the yard. Then she
pinned up her calico sleeves, tied her
bib apron a little more -securely, and
went briskly at the obnoxious work. It
was hard work, but she did not stop for
a long time. Then a suddea happy
thought seemed to strike her, fol. ,her
face looked very brightt as she washed
and dried her little red hands and stole
softly into the diuing room. There was
no one to see her as eha opened a draw-
er of the great old-fashioned secretary
and took oat a piece of music and hur-
ried back t� the kitchen. There was a
strange weird light in the child's brown
eyes as she carefelly parted the sheets,
and placed theixann rack abovethe six*.
The music was an arrangement of Bee•
thoven's symphony in A Major It had
been loaned her by one of the young
lady boarders, who wondered what
upon earth this little dish -washing
country, -girl could possibly want of Bee-
thoven, If she could have seen the
child's rapt look as she stood on her
wooden stool before the sink, hummiug
the wonderful strains and keeping time
with -the glasses she was polishing, she
would have some faint realization,at
least, of what it meant. - Sometimes
Huldah got too near the end of the
stool and lost her equilibrium, and
sometimes she forgot and polished the
•same piece two or three times over, but
she never stopped work, and iudeed
made considerable progress. In the
„midst of Huldah's greatest enthusiasm
her mother entered upon the scene,
and immediately took in the situation.
"Huldah - Calhoun," she exclaimed,
"those dishes ought all to have been
washed said pat away What are you
doing with that piece of music ?"
"Just seeing how it goes; that' e all,"
said the chilcl with a sigh.
"Go and put it where you got it from,
this minute," the lady continued stern-
ly*. "Your father has • just sent up
word that he can't spare anybody to
pick the beans for 'dinner. You'll have
to do it, and iron the napkins besides.
Dear me„ Haldah 1 if you knew how
you keep things behindhand with your
capers you. would be more careful."
lituldah took the music back to the
secretary drawer, theu,without a word,
wiped the rest of the dishee aud hurried
out among the beae vines. Huldah
liked to piek beans. Adything that
took her out of doors was a relief and a
diversion, and now the full, green pods
cantle off the curling vines and dropped
into the pan in the time of the Seventh
Symphony. Huldah had thought very
much about the composer of this won-
derful music. Some one had told her
that this Symphony was written when
the great master was too deaf to hear a
u.ote of it. This see,ned very sad to the
sensitive child,and now the beans drop -
pee more slowly, and Huldah had. to
leave off picking and wipe her eyes.
Then the sad face brightened as she
thought of sonaething else she had been
told. Beethoven played so well on the
violin when he was wily eleven years
old that he made many of those who
heard him weep, and everybody came
r away from the performance wondering
and astonished at the little boy's genius.
It was a piece of Bach's that he played
when folles cried so hard. She loved
bach's music too. nho recalled a spark-
ling fantasia and fugue she had once
heard. when a neighbor took her to the
city to hear a great concert, and her
eyes shone with a new light ; but they
soon grew sad again. Her friend had
told her that Bach studied so hard that
he became totally blind,and dissatisfied
-with the beautiful things he had writ-
ten because he could not compose any
more. Bach played the organ well
when he was only eight years old. She
Wondered if Beethoven and Bach had
been obliged to wash dishes if they
would have accom-plished such wonder-
ful thinge. She was twelve, and *hat
had she ever done? It was all on acs
count of having so much housework to
do that she could not play just in well
on the piano. Huldah h d the atn-
bition and the self-conflde ce which are
the fortunate and natural accompani-
ments of true genius. Slowly, very
slowly, the beans found eir way to
the pan now, for Huldah ad left Bach
and Beethoven to do a su ,.• in mental
arithmetic. If she co*, &Aiwa half
hour each day,liowIC • hours
would that make in .thee:r? It was'nt
hard to reckon, and she h oil] net found
the answer when her moth r's voice re-
called her to her work.' uldah stop-
ped short and looked into he pan.
"Enough for a, mess," eh said, and
hurried into the house.
"What in the world has kept you so
long ?" the busy, bustling woman in-
quired, snatching the bean from her
daughter's.hands. "Gott shelling as
fast as you can 1" she continued.
"There is somebody extra for dinner,
some hifalutin musician fro'. the city.
Hen very particular about hat he eats,
I npose ; such people ge orally are;
and those beans ought to be cooking
this minute. They'll be s tough as
David's armor, I've no don t. Hulnah
Calhoun, couldnit you have been a little
swifter?"
The child said no word o Beethoven
or Bach. , She never s aoke of her
dreams, and scarcely of he wishes, to
ber mother. She knew in iutively that
she wokild not. have uneerstood her.
But Halds,h had sensed ve little- of
what had been said after t te one magic
word "musician." She ha drawn a
chair to her mother's si e, and:was
shelling beans with all her might, and
turning things over in her mind with
equal celerity. She did ot aek any
question. That was not h r way, and
she wondered where the musician
would sit at the table, and i he would
play on the piano, and if h did play,
should sbe hear him, or be ite the kit-.
chen washing dishes.
"Mary Rich was in a m nute ago,"
i
her mother began again "a d said you
would be dreadful pleased to hear- the
=siker again. I . s'pose t • at's Dutch
for musician. I wonder ti ary don't
speak English better, after li ing in this
country so long.'.
“Why should I be glad, did. Mary
say ?"
Huldah had asked a questi n at last.
One long yellow pod was op n in her
fingers e.nd the fingers trem ed fit) that
Mrs. Blaisdell looked from t em to the
pale face of her daughter in unfeigned
astonishment. • .
“Well, I should like to k ow !" she
exclaimed, and from the exp ession. of
her face it was plaint 13he spoke the
truth. Huldah emptied the 1od and re-
peated the question:
"She said he was the eader, or
whatever you call it, of that•c noert she
took you to hear, and tha you were
gene carried away by his mu ic."
“You can leave now, H ldah, and
tidy up a bit,', the lady went 011 in a
tone of unusual tenderness.
The beans were not all s

-for what reason she never c uld have
told -and sat down by the evnidove to
think it all over.
"Mr. Blaisdell may storm f he's a
mind to," said Huldah' s moth r, as her
daughter left her, "but I &hall send over
for Sophrony West, and give. uldah
breathing spell. Good gracious how
her little hand: trembled at t • e thought
of the music. She is just like her
father. - If he'd a lived, no 0 • y would

and lamenting. It did used to make
my hair stand on end, Barnet mes, and
yet Carl was accounted a goo player.
I must try and make -it up to Huldah
some way."
The little girl was too res less and
excited to stay long in the at ie. She
came down looking, very s eet and
lovely in a light print dress, w th' pretty
lane on the neck and slee es. She
would iron the napkins fol. di • er, and
the one that was to lie beside his plate
should be just the least bit n cer than
anybody's else. She would pu same of
the late Jacqueminot roses in it, the
great red -hearted, velvet-leav roses,
which were her especial favorites. He

BUT.
Did the music man pia, so very
extra nice ?" Mrs. Blaisdell en aired.
Huldah could'nt quite un erstand
this newnnterest of her mot er's and
the lady would„, have been p zzled to
have explained it heritelf.
"He dicInt play at all, mam o• a," the
child replied with a merry la gh, “at
least he had nothing but a w ite stick
in his hand. It seemed to me though,
he made all the music. Mary ays the
stick ia called a baton, and the leader of
of the orchestra" -here Hun ah put
down her iron and waved an i aginary
baton -marks the time this way and
they all follow him ; but I told Mary he
did a good deal more than mark the
tinae, and Mary laughed and s id yes,
that the right kind of a c nductor
always inspired his orchestra."
“Welleyou and Mary do be:t all !"
Mrs. Blaisdell replied, "and if your
father was alive he'd m tch. the
pair of you." 1
11 uldah had often been told hat she
took after her father in her odd notions,
but this was the first time that he tone
of the communication seemed o have
either respect or iuterest in it. When
found. she “rna.deia note on't," s Cap-
taiu Cuttle would have suggest d, but it
was done instinctively, and wit .out the
least design, though with adme natural
curiosity. After the table was set, and
the musiker' s place made as right as .
possible, Huldah went into the garden
and picked tnree of the faire t roses
she could find. The stems she tucked
into the fold of, the visitor's napkin,
leaving the wonderful blossoms exposed
to view. She did not put th m in a
vase, because she feared he w uld not
know they were intended for im, and
theu he might not feel at libert to take
them away with him. Huldah did not
eat at the first table, so she co d not
see how the maestro received her tribute,
but that was of small account. It was
quite enough that he should be pleased
with ber Jacqueminots. The 1' tie girl
was in the orchard -when th great
family,of boarders poured into t e

"Are these rosea intended for me?"
the master Inquired as he picked up the
flowers. •
The key at his right hand laughed
lightly as she said,
"That must be Huldah's work."
"Who is --Huldah ?" the gentleman
asked.
"The daughter of our hostess," his
companion replied. "She went to one
of your concerts not long ago, and has
not been able to talk of anything else
since, I arn told."
The musician caressed the roses for
a moment, then put them in his glass
and asked for SOlile water.
il'.
Iyml
ust see Huldah!" dab!" he said,thought-

. , *
The asparagus branch broke, and
Huldan was struck with a new idea.
She wobld go into the house and see 'if
she could , Vick out the notes on the
piano. The boarders were all at dinner
and nobody need know anything about
it. The coast was clear, as she suppos-
ed, and Huldah sat down to the piano
and arranged her mask). The Sym-
phony went hard, as might be expected,
and after a trial of acme of !the simplest
passages she article intothe fugue of
Bach's, of which composition she had
never seen a note; and only having
heard it on that long -to -be -remembered
occasion. Her memory was perfect,
and her ear wonderfully correct'. Her
manner of rendering some of the Pas-
sages that had most pleased her was
marvellous in the extreme. " Her hands
were tooinexperienced and too stiff
with hard work for brilliant exeeution,
but there was a soul in -every note -she
struck which told, a plain story of the
genius which dominated her life.
"This is Huldah l" said a lady's voice,
as the -amateur- musician took her
hands dreamily from the piano; and
Huldan turned in consternation to meet
the kind eyes of the master. Her roses
bad been transferred to la vase, and this
be held in his hand.
"It was very kind of you, Fluidal; to
give me these beautiful roses," he said
simply.
"I knew you wotild like roses," she
replied, with enthusiasm. , I
"Tell me, dear," the gentleman went
on, as he drew the child to his side; and
imprisoned one. of her little warm
hands, "how Many times have you
heardithe music twhich you have just
played?" -
"Just once; only once," was the
childish response, "and then it seemed
to me it all came out of your stick."
There was a general laugh at this,
but the musician, who loved art for art's
sake, and revered • genius as a divine
gift, only smiled, and held the trembling
hand a trifle closer, and looked more
searchingly into the tender, upturned
eyes.
Then the master and the young coun-
try girl walked out into the August sun-
shine. He told her of the sacrifices
and the drudgery which a cultivated
talent must always entail, but she
smiled and thought of the dishes which
she had hated, but faithfully washed,
and did not feel afraid.
"It will be easy, -because I love it,"
she said simply.
"Huldah Calhoun; you have'nt eaten
a mouthful of dinner," Mrs. Blaisdell
exclaimed, as the little girl entered the
kitchen at last.
"Oh, mamma !" said Huldah, with a
radient look, which reminded her
mother more than ever of Carl's face
when he played the fiddle. "If you are
willing I can learn music. The gentle-
man says so. He wants to see you
right away. Oh, mamma! mamma!
what do folks- do when they are too
happy?"
The beautiful dream was realized.
This summer Symphony was played
four years ago'and now Fluidal' is in
Berlin with her dear Mary Rich, the
lady who took her to hear her first con-
cert.
"Huldah plays like an angel and sings
like a seraph !" Mary once wrote to the
musiker, and the nit/siker replied, -
"I do not think your enthasiasm is
exaggerated. Huldah is art's own
child."
Our Princess .
A chatty London correapondent says:
The Princess Louise infinitely prefers
selectingher own friends and forming
her own circles. She is at the head of
a great number of associations for art
needlework, fan painthig, house decor-
ating in the Queen Anne style,aud gen-
eral artistic promulgatiou of taste.
She is fond of artists,painters, and mus-
icia,ns; invites them to dinner and takes
them to her boa at the opera, whence
she is afterwards escorted by a severely
respectable Chamberlain. If she likes
them, she cultivates their acquaintance.
Having heard that Jacques Blumenth.
al the composenhad arranged his house
at Ininsiligton in the most approved
method of high art. and that he follow-
ed the newest and inost appropriate
designs in shaded gold, peacocks, and
pomegranates, the Princess Louise in-
vited herself to be shown over it.
Mme.Blumenthal, whois as much an
elegant woman of the world as she is
herself an attest, impressed the
Princess so favorably that she became
a frequent visitor, even staying three
weeks at the Blumenthal fairy-like
chalet in Switzerland,near Montreux.,
There she did away with the outward
paraphernalia of rank, dismissing even
her lady in waiting, and joining in all ,
the pursuits of her hostess. She was
so popular that men cast lots to sit be-
side her at dinner, and she was full
aware of inalthough pretending to
igeore the discomfiture of the unlucky
ones. Of all the etaugbters of the
British royal house, the Marchioness of
Lorne is the one who finds the stiff
fonnalty of Osborne,Windsor, and Bal-
moral the most irksome.
When Dociors ,Disagree, Who
Shall Decide.
Nothing is more variable than the
different opinions of medical men; but
when they fail to agree, or to perform a
cure in a chronic disease, the patients
often decide for themselves, and take
Burdbck Blood Bitters and speedily
recover. It is the grand key to health
that unlocks all the secretions, and lib-
erates the Slave from the captivity of
disease.
