(Concluded from Last Week.)
"'Yes,' says I, dol and, what's more,
I'm a-goicg to. I jest !pat my foot down
there, and I'll stand by the rnaracles ; say
what yer will', says I, 'I won't give up them
maraoles ! that's a fact ; and you won't deices
me from that.'
" Why, you eee, Sir, a man must make a
stand somewheres, you know • and I stop-
ped there, and I am gladi didefor since
• that I know they've ventured even to ques-
tion about the blessed Saviour himself !-
what His nature was, and what he was, and
what his errand was, and I don't know what
all 1 Seen-nato me it's better and safer to
believe too Much rather than too little ; and
I think, if they cpuld hey their way, these
new -light, free - thinking folks wouldn't
leave the Bible a leg to stand upon, and
then what hes folks to turn to in their afflic-
tions ?
"And then, I can't bear this new-fangled
prayingand preaching; why, it is rediolousl
I could laugh, if it didn't seem wicked to
make a mock 'at eich things. Why, now,
there's our new minieter,Mr. Haughterivilled
to be sure, he's very young, not above eight -
and -twenty, they say; and he heen't hed no
experience toapeak of. But, there, he don't
mind that; he don't let that stand in his
way; not a mite! And I guess he thinks
that he understands the whole plan of Crea-
tion, and Redemption, too, You never !
Why, to see him in the pulpit (that ever I
should say so), he allers makes me think of
a dry corn•shock in the fall, with his long
arms and empty head, bowing and bowing
with every new wind of doctrine.
"Why, when he prays,he lest ondertakes
to tell the Almighty what he is, and what
His plans and purposes is, and what He
made man for, and what he expects men to
cia; and bell go on speeching and reason-
ing, and speclating and sentimentipg, till
you'd really think he'd gone up there to tell
heaven the news, instead of asking for mer-
cy and help and blessing for poor, sinful,
dying men and women !
" And then, sioh sermons! You heyn't
heered hinil yet, hey you, Sir? Well, I like
a good sermon -a good, plain, practical,
ooderstandable sermon -one that makes me
see where I've done wrodg, or 'hasn't done
right; something that 1 can carry home with
me and reflect upon; and mebbe say to my-
self, the minister's right ; I guess I don't
give as much in eharity as I'd oughter, and
I'll send some wood to old • Widder Smith
this week, if so be my life is spared to me ;'
or, 'I ain't half 'ticular enough 'bout hurt-
ing folksee feelings, and try to be more
carefuler what sort of words I use;' or some-
thing in that way. That's what I call good,
useful preaching.
a But, laws bless yer, when a man he gets
ip and hainmers at it all Sabbath -day morn-
ing -whether the fig -tree that our Lord con-
demned wane real fig -tree or only a *login-
ary one, and whether Ho does right to con-
demn it or not; air whether the ruler's little
gal that He brought back to life was jest
the very same little gal to her mother that
she was afore ehe died -no better and no
worse -what d -es it all 'mount t'i)?
"Why, a smart man may work over ono
of them texts -rolling it over and over, as a
cat doe° a horse-cheenut between her paws
and when he hes fit' with it for six months I
reckon he'll know jest as much about it as
he did before. Ain't it so, Sir ?-there's no
finding out them thine. I don't believe
that our Heavenly Father meant us to ond-
erstand everything here upon earth ; and
what's the use of trying? Thern's the
den things of Cod,' I take ite-and we must
wait until He pleases to make them known
to us."
Why, really," 1 said, "you areequite
eloquent, Mr, Hutchington ! I think you
would make a good preacher. yous•self."
" No -oh no, Sir 1" said the old man, shy-
ly. "I see you're a -laughing at me, and
you're very free to do it ; I know very well
that I am a very ignorant, onlearned old
man; 1 neverl had no chance to learn much
-at least, not much book -learning ; but I've
lived a good while, and seen a good deal of
this life, and I guess I know more 'bout it
than • some of these young folkdoes, with
all their fine college-larning.
I've seen a sight more ofsorrow and care
and clieappointenent than they hey ; and I
can'tbut,think, when they hey lived as long
and suffered as much as I hey they'll
larn the vally of their Bible and their Sa°v•
"There!maybe, Sir, I've been wrong to I
say What I hey to you. I know that these
. I
folks, they don't differ from me more than I
-do from them and I try not to feel onkindly
to any one; hut I tell you it is trying, and: I
no mistake. They'll come to you with some !
of their new-fangled notionor their doubts, !
and you tall um 'the Bible don't say so
or, 'our blessed Lord, when he was upon ,
earth, said so and so,' and it don't do nci
good.
""Oh yes,' they'll say ; 'but that's all a
mistake; out Lord didn't mean that, I
-
know He said so, but that's an " Or'ental
Orr° of speech," and. it means jest eXieetly
cliff0ent ; the new reading is so and so,'
,
"Now, I say, whatever is the use of all
that nonsense ? Doev anybody suppose
that our Heavenly Father, in Hie great
Merey, sent his only beloved Son into the
world to suffer and die, to bring Elie mee-
eage to poor guilty sinners, and then send
in a language tAiet the poor sinners could

sollahle 1 I tell yer no 1 ---that ain't 'cord-
ing ,tu my notions of Hie wiedom and good -
nese !
1 ".I guins all that's necessary to salvation
is niade plainto all them who try to ender-
etatel it. 'It Was hidden from the vvitie and
prudent, and revealed to babes.' Don't that
nen for eimple folks who really try to walk
by it ?
'41 spmetimee hear people say they oen't
onderstand what their duties. is. Well,
maIebe 'they can't all at once; I suppoee We
much the same in leaning religion as it is in
lareing anything else, People must Ivan A

when they've larnt up to 'ten,' the rest will

' You see, Sir, I feel this way : where it

tolthis pint at last. I eez to myself, 'Archie

w th a long, wistful look out over the wa-
te , as if the friends and events of hisbouth
w mall there, only hidden from view by
t e golden vapors which were creeping up
fr m the sea- 'I suppose it seems redic'lous

going his open hand slowly and thought-

"1 never quarreled with her then, and I
d n't owe her any grudge for it now, the
b tter for us both.

I being the only boy he hed, I used to hey

b ueli up the collar, or clean the door -yard,

aid, of course, she got an education, and I
d dn't. I jest managed to go evenings, and

"And so, then, you were engaged, after

"Well, I dunno about being engaged. I
don't know nothing 'bout that. Mary Ellen
never promised to marry me, for I never
asked her to; but then, laws bless yer 1 we ,
both onderstood each other'e mind jest ae

what was the need of promises?
" Well, when our Virey she come to be
twenty-one, father he give her a freedom

up a school, See here, now wait a bit,"
The old man, with much effort, lugged
out a great leathern pocket -book, Imola as
farmers and country dealers use, and hav-
ing, by the help of both teeth and fingers,
pulled out the reluctant strap, stiff with
disuse, he laid before me an ancient card,
yellow with age, upon which Miss Elvira
Hutchington informed her friends and the
public that thle spring term of her fashion-
able school for young ladie3 would open
April 1, wherein would be taught all the
usual branches of a good English educa-
tion; itlso Latin, French and Italian, if de-
sired.
"Indeed 1" I said, eel ran my eye over
thiu card of great promise. " Was your de-
ter really capable of teaohing all this ?"
"Oh yes 1 no doubt on't ; laws bless yer!
-yes, and more too,, if yer wanted it -high
Dutch, pigeon English and hog Latin, I
gueser laughed the old man, as he replaced
the card in its leathern receptacle, and with
much labor restored it to its place in his
pocket. "1 hey tillers kept this card, to
'show that one of us got laming, at any rate;.
if kt weren't me, it was all in the family, jest
the same. Well, after Virey went, things
they kept along' jeet about so • Mary Ellen
and Is we used to see each other every day,
and most every evening we'd come and walk
or set together on ;this very beach where
we're setting now. Father he had &Hem
told me if I would hold on, and work ler
him till I was tweuty otie, he'd give me half
of the farm and half of the mill, and we
would work um together jest the same as
we had done, and I should hey half the pro-
fits. Well, it was the best father could do
.for me, I knew that,' but it warn't no great
of an offer. 1
,
It was little enough to support two fami-
les on, I was 'ware �f that; but then we
wasn't ambitious, Mary Ellen end 1; we
was both bumble in: cur expectations. She
was as capable a little gal as ever you see,
and a real good little manager,and I thought
we could rub along somehow; and so as we
was together I didn't care, if it was sang. I
could have done better in other - places, I
knew. I hed better offers, but I didu't like
to leave father; he allers seemed_ to depend
npon me, somehow, end this was my home,
and Mary Ellen was1 here, and so I conolud•
ed to stay. 1
"Well, when I come of age, father he did
jest what he said he would, and then we be-
gun to talk in earnest of our getting marri-
ed. I bespoke two pretty rooms near fath-
er's, and Mary Ellen she sot to quilt her
patchwork. We'd got a good many little
matters together, and we had fixed to be
.married on Thankegividn-day ; but, there !
before that come roend father he was took
sick and died." .
"Ah ! that was a heavy loss to you, in -
1
dencices,
Sir, you may well say that; it was
a boss! He was a geed, honest man, and. a
good, kind father; land I loved him, and I
reepeoted him, I mourned for his loss truly;
but I didn't at Rest think how -in losing him
I hed lost every thing else. That come -to
my mind later. i -
"How do you mean everything else ?"
"Why, father he was dead, and marm
she was left with two little boys, and
mighty little of anything else. Well, little
boys are worth something in the long run, I
s'pose ; but you may conclude tbey ain't the
the most productive property that a poor
widder can be left With, anyhow.
" Well, there was marm, and there wasl.
She wasn't my on mother, you ender -
stand, and she hedo't made much of me all
along; but still she was my father's widder,
and she had beep a good enough wife to
him ; and them two little shavers, them
boys of hern-well, they was, in a measure,
my brothers (though they nearer eeemed so),
°seeing that they were my father's sops -and
so, as I said, there was marm, and there was
I, and there wasn't nobody else; and Icon.
elude that father he would hey looked to -me
to see to um; and didn't see nothing else
to do for it but for me tO jest hitch to and
draw the whole load,
"Of course, if I done that I couldn't get
married. I hill a long talk with May Ellen
about it. She was a, good, brave -girl, and
she sort of encouraged me ; she said it was
, the only right thing for me to do, and she'd
wait for me ever se. God bless her !
,." Well, I it wee a hard thing to do ; it
made me wink; but I done it, and I tell you
1 hed to work hard. You see, while father
lived, he never hed no wages to pay out -he
and I done it all. We worked hard, early
and late, but we dene it all ourselves; lent
afterward, when II hed to hire help, and in
course I couldn't do it all with one pair of
hands, why, my help that I hired didn't do
not one.third for Me what I used to do for
father, -and it seethed, too aii if the money
I paid him run off with an the profits, and
'twee jest as much as I could any ways do
to keep.out of debt, and clothe and feed us
all. The two little boys, they were good
little fellows then, but dreadful soft and
puny like, and ailing most of the time, and
it cost a heap of ttoney jest to keep them
two little chaps shod and doctored.'
" But didn't ,your sister Elvira help
you in some way ?-they were her brothers
too, ' I ,
di. Hutobingtbie Coughed a little dry
oough. "Yes, siie! oh yes ! one Christmas,
the first after Ifather's death, Virey sent
Willy a knit comforter, and a pair of mit-
tens to Ned; but that didn't go a great
ways, you.knoWe and she never did it but
once. Then marm was allers a very spirit-
ual kind of a wornan, and tee times more
so after father's death; and you may guess
I didn't hey a cheerfulhome, '
" What do you mean by spiritual ?" I in-'
quired . " religieus ?"
"Oh him, no, Sir; bless your soul no.
She was not religious at all -I mean not
enough to hurt. , She was kinder fidgety,
Weak in spirits, low, and nervous like -
that's what I meat. She alters looked on
the dark side of, everything. When things
was going on well, she allers thought 'was
about time for um to turn -they hed been
too good to hat, she knowed they was; and
if they was a little rough, she alters knew
they was going to get worse.
'She believed in all sorts of signs and
dreams and charms and sich things. Why,
if she sot out to go any wheres, and meta
funeral or a white faced cow, as sure as yer
alive she'd turn right back, 'cause, she'd
say, it was onhicky. If she spilt the salt
she'd cry, like as not, and if a dog howled
she'd be all knocked up. Now what is the
sense of that? If a dog wants to howl, let
him howl and welcome; I rather wonder at
him, and I don't admire his taste in music;
but maybe he wouldn't like mine any bet-
ter • and if its any satisfaction to his poor
little feelings to howl (for I s'pose doge has
their little feelings), let him hey it, I say.
Doge don't enjoy themselves any too much
in this here life, poor toads; and folks sez
they don't hey no herearter.
"Then as to breaking a looking -glass !
Oh lordy massy sake! Marm broke one
about two month (I guess it was) before
father died ; and though he had a fever and
the quinsy, and lung difficulties besides,
still„ I do believe poor marm tillers blamed
herself, and felt as if she had cut him off
with that onfortunate little old looking -
glass of hern.

Whtt is it
too allers told her dreams and the meaning
of Aim, and they was mostly tellers bad
ones -I mean they foretold something bad
most allere ; and it used to seem to me the
pleasanter the dream was, the worse luck it
betokened. If she dreamt of a wedding or
a merry -making,' it was aura to mean a fun-
eral ; to dream of her dead folks meant ebe
was going to lose some of her living ones;
to piek up eggs betokened sickness; to pick
up money meant sudden death; to dream
of drinking meant a dreadful fire; and to,
dream of the fire was a sure sign of a ship-
wreck. Well, there, I mayn't hey got them
all jest right, 'cause I never minded them.
And it's amazing, Sir, what a sight of bad
dreams, a person will hey inn gives hie mind
to 'em and gets to indulge himself in slob
amusements. It was astonishing to think of
the pains that seemed to be taken with that
poor creeter's dream. I used to think the
dream -makers must hey hed their hands full
with jest her alone,
" She was kind hearted too, marm was,
and didn't want to hurt a fly. She was
fillers ready at a short notice to go and lay
out dead folks and watch with them, and
help get ready for their funeral, and all
that; indeed, I do think she loved to go
sich; things -to go to funerals and sich
placee. Anything that was melancholieal
suited marm, If ever a child got swift to
death's door, or anybody hed fits, or a man
was blowed up with gunpowder, or got his
hand chopped off, or his foot crushed in the
mill, mann was sure to be on hand; and to
tell on't afterward was nuts to her -she
never seemed to ca,re for no other sort of
talk. It wean't any real harm, I s'pose, but
it the same time it wasn't pleasant; for at
meal -times she'd alters hey something dread-
ful to tell -some sickness or death or funer-
al ; some dreadful sore or doctor's opera-
tion, that kind of took away my stomach.
If it waiet news, she had plenty of old ones
on hand • for she allers cut out of the news-
papers al the accounts of terrible murders,
and sich things; and ,as to railroad acci-
dents eteamboat boilers burst, and explos-
ions ef burning fluid, I guess I speak with'
in bounds when I say she hed a full peak
measure of um ! Well, you can guess I
didn't hey a cheerful home with her, any,
way you can fix it,
"Well. things they jest dragged along,
and I didn't get on --an inch. I jest worked
all the time, and I didn't lay by a cent. It
took all I could- rake and scrape to keep us
going, Then Willy took sick. Poor little
chap! he never hed much strength, and he
went into a consumption and hed a long
sickness. That cost a sight of money; but
I didn't begrudge it to him. He hed every-
thing done for him that I dould hear of. He
was a quiet, gentle, little fellow, and I hed
got to love that bey real web!; but he died
when he was about eighteen years old. I
did hope his sicknees and death would make
momething of Ned, for he was awful !wild,
and give no end of trouble to marm and I
but it didn't make no difference; he jest
went on sowing his wild oats till he run
away from us, and died in foreign parts.
(But that was afterward,)
"At last I tole Mary Ellen it wasn't no
manner of use her waiting no longer for me.
She was past thirty by that time • and as
there seemed no sort of a prospect ()Any ever
being able to marry, there seemed to be no
sense in her losing all chance of her being
settled in life.
"Poor gal ! she offered to wait for me till
the day of her death if I said eo. But 1 ad-
vised her not to, and so she married. But
she didn't get a good hueband, Sir; he was
a roving, drinking sort of a man, and he
wasn't good to her when he was at home,
the cowardly brute, That wos the hardest
of
of it all for me to bear." (And here the old
man turned sway his head, with a quick
sob, of indignant tenderhess,) "But it's all
over now," he went on.
"He was lost at sea; and she is dead too.
I did all I could for her; but I think his
unkirainess broke her heart. The only com-
fort she hed in her married life was in her
little child ; and she left her to rile. That's
the little gal yer saw sitting here with me.
Folks call her my niece; but she ien't no
sort of relation to me. She is -Mary Ellen's
child; and I sometimes think I couldn't hev
loved her any better if she lied been mine,too.
. She is going to be married, too, my little
Nelly- ie, Didn't yer see how she blushed
when you and I was talking 'bout wedding
rings and all that? Ah! you didn't mind
her, I don't suppose; but I see her a blush-
inglike a ,piney. Well, I guess hero won't
be no sich inerriage as thein we was speak-
ing of. She hes knowed her young maii
allere,, and so hey I. He's good and steady
and industrious, and of a pleaeant, cheery
temper •' he's been a good son, and I'll go
bail for him he'll make a good husband; and
he'll hev a good wife too, I know that,
He's to sea now, but when he comes home
they're to be married, if nothing don't hap-
pen. It don't seem possible, does it now -
Mary Ellen's little baby old enough to be
married? Why, she was only .six when I
took her."
" And have you got to part with her too?
That seems hard."
" No, no 1" said the old man, exultingly;
"I ain't a -going t� part with her. not till
death parte us, She and her young man
are to live with me; and she says I'll
hey a son as well as te dorter to take care of
me.
"1 hey got enough now to keep us all up-
on. Yer see,after all them I loved best was
dead and gone, and money hedn't the vally
to me that it would hey hed while they was
Pitcher's Castoria.
living to share it, things sorter took a turn
with me.
" Ithi very odd how t• hies will somehow
take a turn sometimes, rhe town commis-
sionere opened a new ro • i right through the
bottom of my little plac and I sold off six
house lots to once. Thee I hed a chance to
sell the old mill. I was too old to work it
any looger • I sold it for more than twice
what it was ever worth to • me; and them
that bought it vriade a fair bargain in it too.
" Well, I s'pose, of course, you'd feel as
poor as Job's oat to hey rio more'n I've got.
But it- is riches to me, for Ws enough and to
spare; and I call any man rich when he has
enough to hev all that he wante, and some-
thing besides to give away -and that's me.
"So yoid see, Sir," he mid, rising and
gathering himself together to depart, it is
likely to end well, after all. But, as I told
you, I hey seen sorrowe and disappointments
enough to teach me to hold on to the bleesed
promises of my Bible. They'll never make
me give that up, 1 guess -never. Goo 1 -
