THE HURON E
WAS A PRETTY SINNER.
SY MAY KESLEY CHAMPION, IN* YOUNG
LADIES' oonmente
gThe little bend of worshippers turned their
steps down the narrow path leading from the
meeting -house. Just a handful of meinstrong
and stern,and of svomemserene and placid,all
with the grevity of demeanor and slOwness
of step which befitted a Leas day morn-
ing in the middle sixteens, in the land of
the Sober Disseuters.
it was only the young people who had
gathered about the door, the young men of
the guard and the youug women with their
scarlet and blue petticoats.
"Marked you the stranger?" asked one,as
be rested hie musket ropiest Vie horse
block.
Who is he?"
"Truth, and I know not."
"They do say a ruling Eider front one of
the New Haven plautatione," voltinteered
another, a young man who had come down
from the look -out post on the top.
"From whom% church or ministry 1 kuow

h going home with your mother to Mid-day
meal. He spent last night at the ordinary.
Jonathan Rudd sew him riding along the
common way peat the fort %Attie before the
ettionettinn."
Tha young girl whom they called Ursula,
glanced back at the deacon's pow.
" Hash ! he is looking," 6/15 Eald, " aud it
has been told and repeatei to us that 'tis a
sin exceeding scandalous and dreadful to be
talking in the meeting house porch on the
Sabbath. Anthony Bassacres want i e sec-
oad sermon to the purpose, it is clear," and
with another curious glance at the stranger
with the forbidding face, who was ceiteinly
coming with her mother, she turned and
passed through the paling a little before
them.
These two,
the Widow Priden and her
guest, walkedslowly on, in serious disoourse
of the morning lesson.
" Yes, truly; it was sound in doctrine,
very manna for the lovers of Zion, and, we
will hope, a Eoletnn warning to sinful E
of Korah," The Elder, as he spoke, trod
with a harsh ortifich upon an ant -hill that
was building in the path, and frowned in
severe condemnation at the little insects
fleeing in all directions from their Sunday
labor.
"Your daughter ?" he said, after a little,
as he watched the young girl before them.
"Ursula."
I trust she is well founded in doctrine."
"It is my custom to catechise her daily in
the Scriptures," replied the widow, a note
of satisfaction in her words. New Haver,
church should find small matter for criti-
cism as to that in her family.
Truly, the maid lies a seemly carriage,'
thought the Elder, as Ursula joined none of
the young people who had overtaken her,
but walked alone, with slow steps and
downcast ,glance. "She demeans herself
modestly,'
Then to the widow, "I will examine her
between the two services. I doubt not she
be sound and ortbodox in her fundamentals."
A short curve took Ursula beyond the
sight of those who followed. The joy and
gladness of the morning were gone now. It
. was as if all things dropped under the heavi-
ness of the sermon. Ursula was weary, and
her steps lingered.
By the side of the foot path, a wild rose
blossom bent its head under the scorching
heat of the sue. She stretched oat her
hand with a gentle caress, and the flower,
grateful for the unwonted touch, broke from
its stalkitud remained in her fingere. Poor
Ureula !
"Verily it is not as deemed," thought
the Elder, as the path having straightened
again -,his stermeye beheld the motion.
44 he is easily enticed and drawn away
by the frivolities of the world, if such wan-
ton picking be not an actual profanation of
the Sabbath. It needs be that I add -'a
chastisement to the catechism." But reao
ing the Widow Priden's house -lot by this
he made no reference to the offence for th
time.
s
_Ursula's mother opened her best roonnfOr
her guest, who straightway settling him-
self on a'form by the window, with his ker-
chief thrown over his head as a barrier
against argumeatetive and rtati-Christian
flies, was soon lost in a deep and heavy re-
.,
flectron.
Ursula took a pewter drinking cup from a
book in the kitchen and ran up -stirs to her
own small loft.
Poor little Sunday rose! Was it, too,

and judgments it was pulrng down upoa
ftseif t She placed it tender y in the water,
smoothing ins drooping leav s and wonder-
ing in it, more than she, knew how to "curb
its preed humors," as thei minister had
charged.
But " Ursula ? Ursula !" her mother's
vice was calling below, and with another
loving touele she left it and went down.
"You trivne much timet Ursula. The
Elder will observe that the Sin of the slug-
gard is sore upon you. Here, child, the
silver spoons, not the alenemy, and the
pewter trenches. It musti be CIA he is
hungry; for the victualing et the ordinary
is none of the best."
Visitora were rare enough o the Saybrook
colony, and this was a guest of such dis-
tinction that the widow mov d about with a
haste that was almost week ay and wicked.
"Now- a dish of fresh w ter from the
spring, and all is ready. Where is the
other drinking cup, Ursula n
Ursula rested the water ar on the dcor
step before emptying it, " here are two

she said. Themes her moth r still searched

° The Widow Priden placed the two upon -
the ta,bie and turned to Iier daughter. It
was DO well when the Wi ow Priden was
displeased.
"Indeed ! Our parcel of Worldly goods is
there grown to so greet meaeure in this win
demi:Ise place that we alreedy have to re-
trieve a part of them to the !loft above !" she
said. "Bring it down 'Unruh., and let 'us
have no more such carelessness."
" But, tinily, mother, I am not thirsty,
and the ecree which. I plucked coming home
will fade."
"Gathering flowers on the way home
from meeting! Poe e the sermon then rest
so lightly upon you tint you make no
scruples of forgetting it is the Sabbath
day ?"
Ursula had not known that her mother's
brows were so blaek or her form so tall.
"Wolin a man harvest his wheet 01.1 the
Sabbath?" she continued, as the blue eyes
fell back to the water -jar. "And your own
dieing are but of a piece. Go to your room,
claind, end it is to be hoped that under the
humbliog frowns of conscience you will
come to e better spirit. I must speak to
the Elder about you."

for ehe was seen lost in a light sleep. It
must have been but a short time after,
thougit it might have been hours, ' when

Rising her head, she liatened.

And now it was her mother:
"1 have done my best endeavor to breed

Mercies has blessed me *filial, but I will

ner indeed, as she went int O the best room,
where the Elder waited for her.
It may have been that behind the rugged
brow, seamed with its perpetual -frown, that
thought crept in, even thligh. it was the
Sabbath -day, as Ursula., with doWnceet eyes
and very pink cheeks, stood; before him re-
citing her catechism.
She knew it well, answendrig_without slip,
and the Elder's face grew lime (levee°, though
she did not see, studying Ithe Marks of the

He lied been listening to a growing
temptation to lighten the eheatieement when

with what courtesy sheicorild.
Having taken the ibehvinees of the re-
sponsibility, the Elder 'g4entiriaself to con-
sidering the way in whinne lie should do his
duty. It was clear thaitnhe sin should not
go unheeded, and before be nlept be had de-
termined upon eeveral rietierlties. But in the
morning again; as he Wittnli4d Ursula deftly
putting the table in oeden for the morning
meal, he found that all inclination to-
ward them had fled. E!
" A.fair maid and a Ilan*" he mused, as
Ursula lightly lifted it kettle of steaming
Indian meal from the 'fir:nisei:nen " Truly a

The breakfast had Wert a dreaded occa-

wonder -eyed and ihnitikiirg .from any near -

" Yes, I know," okict the Elder. " You

months or less when the inerriage covenant
shall be solemnized. Meantime, it shall be
my petition that your baokslidings may be
healed," and threading his long, thin fin.
gars through his horse' s rein, the Elder rode
down the path.
Ursula gazed after him. So startled and
bewildered she was that the water rushed
over the sides of the jar and into the pnol
beneath unheeded. She did not even hear
another rustling among the bushes, and not
until there came a quick step and familiar
voice by her aide, did she turn.
"What said the Elder to you,Ursula,that
should cause you to look as if. you had seen
some twenty skulking Indians ?
, Even Jonathan Rudd's honest face could
not reassure her, and she answered rather to
satisfy herself that the words were real,
than in reply to his question.
"Re said that in six -months, he was
coming -to marry me."
"And what did you say ?" he askednneer;
ing through the trees as if they had not
long since hidden horse sod ridor.
" I -I am not sure that I replied at all,"
said Ursula, by no means certain of any-
thing, except a sort of protection in Jona-
than's scowl. "1 think be did not expect
it. Xis to bea furtherance toward my per-
fecting, he said; because I am grown to so

very bad to be sinful."
"1, it ?" asked Jonathan, quietly. "1
should thiuk it might be -very.' Then, af-
ter a little "1 think you are much tore
wicked for the Elder, Ursula • much too
great a wrong -doer for Mm to make an effort
to reform."
A tear fell into the spring as Ursula turn-
ed her fac a from him.
"And you, too, find mo so-so abounding
in sin," she said.
Then Jonathan took her in his great,
strong arms. He could not be amused; her
self -condemning was too pathetic.
"0, Ursula, Ursula," he said, smoothing
the hair from the white forehead. "Have
you broken all the Commandments at once,
that you accuse yourself so; you could not
be happy with the Elder ?" he asked sud-
denly, a new thought throbbing in his brain
and the juniper trees reeling before hirn.
"Jonathan, I should die ! " Aix! as Ur-
sula's hands were not free her face could
not hide itself only in Jonathan's honest
brown jerkin.

1893.- SCOTT, The Talisman,
A Psalm Tune.
In an ancient Psalm book, in use in a
Dutch Reform church in New York city a
hundred years and more ago, I came across
a curious hymn_which began thus:
There was a man -
. Whose name was Job,
An upright man was ho
And served his G. 0. D.
Fancy the scene -the ladies in their buck-
ram stomachers and full gathered skirts of
black bombazine, the gentlemen in long
waistcoats and swathed in a yard or more
of neckband, while the precentor, in black
callege gown, struck up the proper tune and
pitched the key with his curious old tuning -
fork ! And the effect of the last line of the
hymn, where the three capital letters were
sung to complete the'rhythm !
Instrumental music was unknown in the
ancient times in eectarian forms of worship.
General Amon McCook relates the story
that long, long ago, in an Ohio town, the
Sabbath arrived when the tuning -fork was
to benaid aside, the pieeentor's work was
done, and the bass viol had come into the
gallery amongst the singers to stay.
This grieved the good parson, who doubt,
less had enjoyed his musical elaboratione,
and looking up toward the choir when about
to mounce the Psalm to be sung, and ob-
serving the crooked -necked inetrument
which has disturbed his peace, he put in his
plea against the innovation thus:
"We will now fuddle (fiddle) and sing to
the praise of Almighty God Psalm 108."

"Broughton's Saucer.".
On the wa.11 of the 014139i0 library at Ab-
botsford, Sir Walter Scott's favorite room,
this/saucer was hooked and eagarded as a
treasure. It seems that in Sir Walter's
boyhood, the curiosity of hie mother had
been strangely exeitud by the unexplained
visits of a stranger to her husband's study.
At a certain hour of the evening, this gen-
tleman would alight from hie sedan chair
at the door, and be ushered into Mr. Soott's
privete room. The lady, at length, could

parlor with a salver in her hand, declaring'
they had sat so long she was sure the
stranger would be the better for a dish of
tea which she had 'ventured to bring for
their acceptance. The stranger bowed and
accepted the cup most willingly, but Mr.-

chilling tones to pattake of the refreshment.
A moment after the visitor withdrew, and
Scott lifted the window Sash and took the
exquisite cup, left empty upen the table
and flung it fiercely upon the pavement.
The lady exclaimed passionately at the loss
of her beautiful china, but was silenced by
her husband's grave reply: "1 can forgive
your little curiosity, madam, but you must
pay the penalty. I may admit into my
home'on business, persons utterly un-
worthy to be treated as guests by my wife.
But neither lip of me or of mine comes after
Mr. Murray, of Broughton."
This was the unhapqy man who was
Prince Charles Stuart's secretary, who con-
descended to redeem his own life by bearing
evidence asminet the noblest of his late
master's adherents, Kilmarnock. When
confronted at the bar with Balmerino, the
prisoner was asked, "Do you know this
witness, my lord ?" "Not I," answered
Balmerino. "I once knew a person who

ton, but that was a gentleman and vi man of
honor, and one who could hellup hie
