The Huron Expositor, 1892-10-07, Page 6SHE WAS A PAETTY SINNER. on MAY It.K$I,EY 01tAMPION, IN YOUNG LADIES' .tOrRNAL. (Continued from last week.) "One need be prepared," he murmured, under leis breath. "Some do not stick to bay thathe treats his creatures better than his wives, two having died already with the hard work." Then drawing her to him : "Poor little girl !" hainaidi Ursula, this world would be all h desert place to me without you. Could You deem it full with me alone?" Only Jonathan could have caught the single syllable that was all her reply, but he repeated.," Ursula, Ursula," as if there - Were never half so Gweet a name before. And all the time the water was running over the jar into the trook and away; the a sun had climbed far , ove the tree by the wa.ding-place-and still they stayed. "To -night I will speak to your mother," said Jonathan, when itt last they turned back toward the house, "but I do mot see it ousel any mese of necessity that the pro- posal of the Eider be mentioned; do you? She might not believei you, so exceedingly great a sinner as you are," he added, and this time Ureula looked up and emiled a little, too. The days sped on; the leavegrew large and fell: chill evening] with their blazing sunsets of crimson, and gold, and blue, and green followed close and then the gray- ness Of all things -the pellor of death which sorrowing nature makes haste to cover with her snowy? winding -sheet. In their hearts the people of the Sa,ybtook colony yearned for England. Excepting Ursula Priden and Jonathan Rudd. Upon Jonathan the Widow Priden had always looked with favor. Being pos- sessed of a competent i farm, and Oarrying • good behavior in the edam of his iife, she saw no reason to deny hiin the hand of Ur- sula, she said. And Ursula spun ad was happy and sang, and longed not at all for the soft air and cleared fields of Featly Compton, where the loves were still gteen and the birds ltio one did his postui4s on training day so well as Jouathan„ No one's wheat or mislen grew so tall or iv; full as his. And, surely, they were neve t so safe from the Indians as on those Sundays when he stood in the look-ont on the roof of the meeting- house. So the autumn passed; and Ursula spun and was happy. The liken; piled Resit no in the ohest to such height that .all the women in the plantation hams to see Ursul Priden'a wondroue fitting -out. • Ten pairs of linen sheet, went the .repoi with pillow -biers and other things in nut - ber far beyond the necessiay end of co - venience. An act of ill (neample it wa they agreed. Goodman Itendall's daughter had been well content with three pairs of hemp and two of linen. As for Jonathan Rudd, they did say that he had sent to England even, for hangings for the best room, of dark green bay, they were to be, it was reported, but no, doubt he would have considered Mr. Fenwick's landscape hangings, or even the enea of Ciesar or Susanna one too good for the Widow Priden'a daughter; if be could have had them. But Jonathan knew. A picture had been in his heart all these last weeks. When he broke the high drifts for the cart path, when he kept the watch at night, always there was before him a young girl ie a red cloth petticoat, standing beside the dark green of the junipers, and he did not count it extravagence to indulge ,himself thus far. He paid his rates regularly -no one could deny that. All things were nearly ready for the wed- ding. The purpose of contract had been read from the pulpit, and the contract it- self drawn six days ago. Only the day after to -morrow now, and then the marriage covenant. Ursula sat by the fire place, paring squares of pumpkin fon the festival pies, and wondering if she would forget to answer when people called her Mrs. Rudd. Would it not seem very strange ? The fire from the great six-foot log bia,zed an roared as the wind rose outside. Truly this has grown to be a terrible storm," she said, moving beck from the in- tense heat. "The drifts must be deep, and perhaps Jonathan may not come, as he said.' But she drew the large settle nearer the chimney, and went back to her paring, listening the while that she might not miss the first sound of a possible footfall. It came scon, and Ursula hastened to the door. " It was so We, Jonathan, that I was fearing you would not come," she said, as she helped him out Of his snowy cloak. I "Come to the fire. How cold you are !" "1 have been on a loing journey, Ursula." Where, Jonathan ?" "To the Pequot plantation, to see Mr. Winthrop. I had discomforting news this morning," Ursuia hed sprung up, setting her dish on the form. "In all these drifts; Jonathan ! You mnet have some food first, and then you may tell me the ret." Jonathan watched her as she sifted the yellow Indian through her fingers and turned on the boiling water, stirring all the Hine. You are a thoughtful Ursula," he said. "1 did not know that I was hungry until now." She drew a table to hie side, and after placing upon it a pitelihr of milk and a bowl of the Indian, set dowil again to her work, saying nothing until hel had finished. "Now tell me what newts you have," she said, when she had taken away the ishes. "It may be that ib is not so bad as it aeetned, or will not be eo beavy with two to bear it." "1 fear it might make trouble for both of us," Jonathan said, drawing hie hand slowly in:Toss his forehead. He was very tired, true enough-Jonathati. "1 saw Humphrey Tracy this morning. He had been up to Hartford town, trucking some cattle: and the drifts up along the river are very bad, he says. So deep, already, were they yes- terday, that the magistrate sent messege by him that if more snow fell during the day he should not be able to come down Thursday, as was his purpose." "Indeed, a drift need rise to no great height to cover him, or to fright him either, if they say true," said *Ursula, as she picked up a paring from the fleor. " But the snow will melt I suppose, Jonathan." Moreover," he continued, reaching acmes and taking froth her the basin and knife, mcneover, Humphrey Tracy told me -I can do this as well as you, Ursula -- that the Elder journeyed with him as far as Tunxis, and said his intendment was for coming here when the storm was done. Being told that the magistrate was like to come /deo he said he would make effort to join bun." Ursula's eyes grew troubled. She really feared the man. Truly her backalidings coutd by no means be healed with this more than nsually unhely avereion in her heart. And you journeyed in all the storm to the Pequot colony !" the said. You charge yourself with too great pains, Jon- athan, and I am very cowardly be be afraid. It is not a very brave wife you will have." Uirsula clasped her hands over her knees, 0.4 studied the fire. She was glad that iifonathan was so strong fetid intrepid. How ihentood half a head above the other young men of the plantation. And yet how gentle he was when he lifted her- over the drifts or across the stepping stones of the brook. Then Mr. Vi inthrop will Come?" she said, after a. while, "Mri Wilithriip said he was sorry to de us, but, being udder the Moissachussette, couldnot marty,ins this plantation." Another sitenche followed, and a longer, "The fire firdwe low, Ursula," Jonath said at last. ‘i $ 411 bring more wood." Returning with a heavy stick, he threw on the dogs, "It is cleared' he said, as he raked t burning coals toveard the front, '4T moon in jun tilling." And, going back the settle, he watched the log, hissing a steaming, an the stab boiled out, then brea lug into fituries when bits of theleark dri and caiight fieei from below, only to d away again as isolin en the greener wood w reached. , 1 " Urslila,tht said, after a long tim when the stic, wati fairly ablaze and t flames roaring .up the wide chimney, "11 sula, wduldyen be willing to go te t Pequot platetatien ? It is through a lo tract ofWilderness and a dismal: but M Winthroin though' he saw it necessaty deny us the coming here, agreed to meet at the stream which the Indians call Sun ipaug, if we sent message that we wish that." Ursula laid her own small hand upon h large, brown one. "1 atri inore afraid of him who will co with the magistrate than of all the India between here and the Pequot," she sai "And who was it, Jonathan last traini day who broke with a bullet the shaft of t arrow that the Indian had shot up into tl tall pine by the mere -stones ?" "But it will be a strange wedding foir m little girl, that is had out of doors and such a journey," he said, smoothing t hand he held., "'Tis hot the cuetom, true enough, b this is a new oountryi and well set ne fatthisanae Jonathan." i " And ill Mid -Mater, on the snow." : "Well, is not tho whitenees the ver thing for brides ?" she asked, stoutly,thoug her heart fell as she thought of the prett wedding gown svhich could never go a many miles on a pillion. "You men as for so many things together." There was a light in Jonathan's face, "Then I will send Jonathan Tracy serving man at sun -up to -morrow with message to Mr. Winthrop," he said. "H going and coming,will make the track th better for us, and by day after to-morro the snow mey have packed a little as wel The drifts were very deep to -night, and i being too dark to gee the marked trees, had liked to have lotmy way in one." Ursula shivered add drew nearer him. "Ab, Jonathan, I am glad you are her by the fireplace and ilia." "The howling of wolves after sundown i not the most cheering music, in truth. - don't deny but I'd rather hear old Wind ham lined out oa a Sabbath with Goodma Guilia,m's voice to th fore. But I mus leave this fireplace and you now -see ho the pandle is burned idown." And Jona than moved the settle back against th wa`lkou are my own brave Ursula," h , said, as he stood by the door with his roug brown coat wrapped well about him, " m own brave Ursula," lifting her face in bot his hands. "But the mare is safe, and will see to it that she knows how precious i the burden ehe will carry." The Widow Priden made no objection t the riding tO Pequot. "It would not b her choice, the going to the magistrate," eh said, "but if Jonathan wished it, and Ur suite had no fear nor dismayednese at th journey, she was not one to say nay. The did say it was an ill omen to put off marriage, and nobody could tell when th drifts up along the river would melt." Brave as she was, a tear waslolded i with the wedding gown as Ursula laid i away in its box. Not that for thidlong rid to the Pequot. Her warmest skirt of seen let cloth and the dark -blue hood and cloak very gammon clothes for a bride but Jona than did not look as though he minded whe he came for her on Thursday. It was, as he had told her, a long and dismal way. Only occssionally did the sun penetrate the close branches so that they felt its warmth, and the cry of the wolve often came too near for safety. , "Are you cold, Ursula? or afraid ?" Jon athati turned in hie saddle to ask at every few rods, "got afraid," she said; "and how could I be cold with such broad shoulders between me and the wind ?" "1 fear 'twill be all the worse for you coming back," he 'laid, and opeted his coa that it might shelter her better. Men wore etrong-he could bear a little cold. "The wind may change by that," said Ursula, laughing. "Why this is a great day, Jonathan! Everything is for us." But it was long, and they had grown thoroughly chilled before they rounded a arge drift which had turned the path, and saw in front of them the little stream to which Mr. Winthrop had promised to come. There were several men oil the opposite bulk, and Ursula grew alarmed. "Is the magistrate among them, Jo -an - than?" she -asked, with a hand on the rein. Jonathan peered through the bratiches. "1 think the musk -colored doublet is his. See -close in front of him with the bando- leers. Yes '- that is Mr. Winthrop." They made the best way they could down the -bank, following the shallowof the drifts, for the snow had blown since yester- day, and the track° were covered. As they reached the stream Jonathan ex- claimed in dismay: "We cannot cross, Ursula, See -the ice is broken and floating in great cakes. We cannot cross." It was quite as bad further ° up, they found, and in much perplexity they came back to the great drift oppoeite the inagis- trate and his friends. " 'Tis a pity, 'tie a pity, you cannot erose," he said, raising his voice to them as he came down to the edge of the stream on hie side. "But the wise, step -ordering Providence has broken the ice since yester- day, and I see no place where it would be safe to venture." , Mr. Winthrop turned to him of the band- oleers and leather buskins with something which Jonathan and Ursula could not hear. Theu, after some conversation among them, he again lifted his voice to those on the other side. "If you could manage to go up a piece to the place where the land juts out into the water, yonder," he mad, pointing with his staff in that direction, "1 might make shift to marry you there. 'Twould be sadly dis- comforting to have taken the long journey for naught." "Mr. Winthrop is very gaol to be at on great pains for us," said Jonathan, as they got down from the saddle, and, stiffened from the cold and the constrained position, made their way out on the narrow bank, which was so slippery and uneven as well. Take care, Ursula, not there !" as she tried to make a footing on au icy hillock. It was, indeed, a strange ' wedding -the magistrate on one side of the 'frozen strewn, and they on the other, the world all white about them. The solemn atillnese, which is as if the earth were bowed before the hely temple had come upon tha,plece. Nothing could be heard but the chafing of the great cakes] in the channel, or now an occasional sharp report whioh left a long fissure in the ice over in the meadow. They stood for a momentith heads rev- / erently bowed. Then Mr. Wi1 throp's words came clear and grave upon he frosty air, and soon, with kind wishes for the art:mg and stout-hearted young eettler and. the girl by his side, so slight and brave, the magis- trate and his party had turned back to Pequot. Ursula was lifted to the saddle a little more tenderly, and Jonathan spread his coat that it naight shelter her a little better than before -that was all. He could *ait Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. t eneeteinieneeeinee THE HURON EXPOSITOR. until they reached home, and it was beet to ride quickly, for it would be very cold soon.- " See, Jonathan the wind has really changed!" cried Ursula, gaily, when they had ridden a short distance. "Did I not speak true when I -said that to -day is all for us?" • "Verily, Ursula, you have cast a spell upon it, it is clear." And Jonathan said little more on the journey, but he hastened the speed of the mare. The great red fire in the west was flaming up to meet the sun, and the light came low and slanting when he drew up at hie own door. Fastening the reins. around a- tree inside the tpaling, he gently lifted 'Ursula from the saddle and carried her into the house -into the mode where were the hang- ings] of green bay. As 'she stood there in her gown of soft scarlet _cloth, as he had so often dreamed she might stand -so shy in the midst of her new Surroundings, Jona- than's heart was very full. "Ab, Ursula, it Mean be summer and sunshice for ua alWays now," he said, "no matter though the treee by the spring be, brown.and bent with the snow." - The Maister and the Bairns, The Meister sat in a wee cot house, Tae the Jordan's Waters near, An, the fisher-fowk crushed and orooded roun', The blaister's word to hear.

In whatever laudable pursuit you engage, pursue it with a steadiness of purpose, as though you were determined to succeed. A vacillating mind never accomplishes any- thing worth naming. There is nothing like a fixed, steady, inflexible aim, and having an aim worthy of your most heroic endeavors to bern like a bigot and flame like a fanatic until you have conquered all op- position. Such an aim dignifies our nature and ensures success. The old maxim is not far from the truth. " Patience and perse- verance conquer all things." Take good ground and keep it. Who have done the moat for mankind? - Who have secured the highest honors? Who have climbed the loftiest heights of, holiness? The men who were steady to their purposes, the men who, with dauntless intrepidity, served the living God. Almost all great men conspicuous on the catalogue of renown are proofs of success of presevering effort. Gifford, the cabin boy, was one of the most powerful writers of his day. Ferguson was a shepherd boy, but raieed himself to the honor of one of the first astronomers of his age at whose lec- tures royalty itself listened with delight. Brown, the author of the "Concordance and Bible Directory," was a poor shepherd's boy. Sir Humphrey Davy, the first chem- ist of his times, was the eon of a woodcutter and the apprentice of an apothecary. Sam- uel Lee was a carpenter, but became a pro- fessor of Hebrew in Cambridge University, Adam Clark was the son of a country school -master in the ninth of Ireland, but rose to one of the first- biblical scholars of tnodern times. Robert Hall was the son of a poor dissenting clergyman, but became one of the mnosti Splendid orators of the British pulpit andone of the best writers in the English language. See Luther, that Mighty champion of the Lord of Hosts, in his minority, singing verses in the streets of the cities of Germany, but rising up like a tevived Sampeon, to shake the pillars of Rome, be han stood forth since 1617 with commanding prominence.
