BY MRS. HARRIET A. CHUTE. Al) God's angels come to us disguised ; Sorrow and sieknese, poverty and death; One after another lilt their frowning mask.; And we behold the seraph% face beneath. ; You want to know who that lovely cried in the gray dress is? Well, her name is Olive North, but we call her the angel of Elbow Bend. We used to be a mean uncharitable set, we women of the Bend,anh I'm not say- ing that I was a whit better than the rest; but I do think there ha,s been a change for • the better since sweet Olive North came druong as. It was a new place and times hard, and we couldn't afford all the neces- saries of life, much less its luxuries, and hard work and privation made us bitter and ill-tempered. When I tell you that only two families in all the neighborhood were able to take a paper, and books were as scarce as "hen's teeth" amen(' us, yelu may reckon that intelligence and refinement were at a low ebb; but, it would not have been safe for any one to have told a :Bender that he or she was not as good or smart as the next one, and if there was one thing that we dis- liked. more than our own hardships ancl pri- vations it was the person who had not suf- fered in like kind and measure. When Judge North came among us with his old maid sister and motherless daughter, it did not take us long to see that they were different from the rest of us, and different in -a way that we resented. U they had been poorer ar more ignorant than ourselves, we could have welcomed them with open arms, but Miss North, though not in the least haughty, was dignified and intellectual look- ing, and Olive -well, she was prettier, smarter and sweeter than any other girl in the place, and we couldn't help seeing it,and hated her accordingly. If the Judge's folks had been extravagant in dress or haughty in manners, or anything of the kind, there would have been souse ex cute for our feelings towards them, but they were plain and simple and tried to be friend- ly, and that seemed to make us dislike them the more, remeinber the first time I saw Olive come into church. She wore a simple white linen lawn without a bit of ornament except a bit of hemstitching she had done herself, and her black straw hat had only a purple lining and bunch of violets; but dress and hat were fine of their kind, and 1 couldn't help seeing the contrast between her and Rosy Watts, who had been considered, till then, the prettiest girl in the neighborhood, Rosy's deeds was white,too,but it had. a, thick stripe and a, thin one and yards.of lace and ribbon, cheap,- of course, but, all togetherenaking her dress cost morethan Olive's. Then her hat' was a perfect posey garden of flowers mixed with gay ribbons and her bangs curled so, tight you might think it the reason her nose turned up. • , I'd always tho4g17-tt Rosy pretty till then, but now, somehow, I began to feel what she lacked, what all of as lacked, and I pitied Rose and -yes, I hated Olive. I had had some advantages in my young days, when 1 was growing up, hut I felt now that I had lost ground and had slipped to a lower level than such as she, aud I don't know whether I hated her because it was so, or because she caused me to realize it; but, anyway, good Chrietian though I was, I hated her. We were very religious, us Benders ; we went to church on Sunday, gossiped on week daps, and thought we'd fulhlled the law and the Gospel. As I said, the Bend was a new place, we were all poor, aud had not yet been able to. have a school. Our children were growing up in ignorance, a fact we loudly deplored arming ourselves ;so whea. sweet Olive North proposed to teach us a three months' term free of charge, you'd think we'd have jump- ed at the ehance, but we didn't. "The stuck-up thing! I s'pose she thinks - shejl be a missionary, to us heathens," said Mei. Ivens. "My young-uns may live an' die in ignorance'fore PR send 'em to a 'harty school kept by her," said Mrs. Godsey. It would take too long to tell all the hate- ful things we did say, but at last some of us began to come to our senses, myself for one, not that I was a bit better than the rest, but I did want Datil and Sary, my boy and- ac7d1, to be learning something ; so, at last, ife concluded that we reckoned that we could stand it if she could, and send her word she inight begin. If Olive could have heard all the ugly things we said she might have quit in despair seeing she did not get even thankee for her work., but she kept on, and the d children were getting to like her in spite of all they heard said against her, and were getting so they'd speakup and take her part ; but none of us older ones, even yet, were friend - la with the Norths. Some of us had neighbored a little with them., but we took pains to let them know that we thought ourselves as good as they, and made ourselves very foolish and dis- agreeable. About that time, word got out that Olive Was taking a fiddle to the schoolhouse and playing; while the children made motions to it. What a storns it raised 1 " Only to think that she's a learnin' the precious innocents to d.ance,when we thought .ein a studyhd of their books," said Mrs. Ivens, with a tremor in her voice. "1 allus knowed som'thin! would come Out. Such aint to be trusted, a-lookin' as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths," said ,Mrs. Hatch. When we sifted the thing it came out, that it wasn't a fiddle Until Olive had in school but something that ktoked like one. Mine said she thumped it with he fingers and Ike Ivens said shii. clawed it like a cat - what he thinks.-Spmerville Journal. - but, anyway, it Wa• Oomething and some thing had to be done,tao we made it up that without saying anyttfing to anybody, Ire' meet and go in a squghl to the door of th schoolhouse -it was little, old, deserted country storehouse fiat Olive and, her pa had fixed rep at their own expense -we'd go in a squad. to the dpot, juet after the child - den had been called i$t, having waithd some- where near, and justwhen Olive got into the midst of her derneralizing performance, we'd rush in and aeldif that was the way to keep school. There wite a little !fort of porch room in front, and We ' all tip-thed into that and stood nudging eh other, for now we'd ' got there, no one wanted to be the first to break in, though we leould hear the music going, a clear, sweeti young voice leading some ehildish song,t e Iittle ones joining in, while they all kept sort of time With their hands and bodies. Tat much I saw through , a crack in the door Jefore Mrs. Ivens nearly rnashed my foot, crOlvding me over to take my place. Two or three of tht stoutest got their eyes on the crack, and tht rest had to be Content with heaaiitg; but edtery word came plain ad n that no prima, ona ever had a, sweeter truth to where we re standing. I'll say here voice than Olive's,arid when they had finished the little calisthenin piece -I think that's what they called itieshe struek up "Nearer my God to Thee," 441 the young ones joining in, and she playing s the accompaniment on the guitar, for we learned later that that was the name of the instrument that had created such an exeitement,and to my dying day I don't expect to hear anything to sound sweeter. . ' t "Jest listen at gad !" whispered Mrs. Hatch. "I'd- no hies, the little fellow could sing so 1. I'll have 4, tell his pap." ; Before the ?hyena was finished I felt my eyes getting mold, and I saw several others getting the same way. We forgot all about the object of our •Tisit, and only thought of listening to the mask ; and once Milinday Peters nearly spoiled . everything by joining in, but Lucy Ivens saw her opening her mouth and Chucked her' under the chin. When the hymn was fmished, what was our surprise to hear the same sweet voice leading in prayer, and you might not believe it,but a more bemitiful prayer I never heard. Parson Olsberrytnmself couldn't beat it. She prayed for tie children and for 'their perents,and that he might have wisd.om and patience to do hei, duty, and above all, that she might yet win a little love fromthe mothers of her cider pupils. I saw a big tear reil down and deep off -the end of Emerine Hooker's nose, then she stretched a hand to one on each side of her and. said, "Sisters,. let's kneel," and the next moment we all got down.. - . .- I don't know what any one would have thought to have seen us all kneeling there in that little anteroom sobbing silently while the young voice inside went on praying. for ye all, not knowing that for once we Were getting the belie& of her payer in a way that was likely to have a speedy and telling effeet. At last the prayer -ended, and the bell callecl. the children to their books and. us to a sense of the situation. "Let's go," whispered Mrs. Godsey, and as silently as we had come, as silently we stole anra,y. Not a word was said till we had got out of sight and hearing of the sthool- house, '• then - Mrs. Ivens,' she said to me, 'Mrs. Yates, T guess we can trust that girl with our young ones." "Trust her itsaid Mrs: Hatch, "she's an angel, the latch of whose shoestring we're not unworthy to untie." Julia Ann always gets things a little snarl- ed when she quotes • Scriptures, but she •means well. After all thishve'd all have been glad to be friendly with the Norths, but when folks have been for menthe showing their hateful side it comes awkward to right -about-face without some apparent good excuse. We could not go and say we've beena lot of fools, but we've overheard that that's openecl our eyes and our heaatsnind we want you to for- give us and let us make much of you. No, WE did not have the courage for that,so each one had to think of little break -ways for herself.- As for me, I concluded I'd take Miss North a jar of my cherries, being some of our first crop, and about the first in the neighborhood. I found Miss North knitting on a little red woolen mitten. She seemed pleased to see me and glad of the cherries, then, said she, "1 hope you'll excuse me for going en with my knitting, as' I'm., very anxious to finish this pair this evening." ; •" That Will be a little small for Olive, won't it?" I asked., " Oh dear," said she, "it's not for Olive, it's for little Tim Skiver. Olive says he comes cryingwith cold hands every morning, but he is so fond of school, that he won't give it up." . . This is the woman we'd accused of being proud and stuck up, spending her time knit- tineemittens for a little, dirty -faced chap, so he could come to school where her neice could. teach him foe nothing. If they were stuck up they were trying to raise the low- est to their level, insteacr of trying to pull ,down them that seemed a bit highenae some of us had been so anxious t� do. I tell you, I went out of that house feeling my little- ness as I never had before, resolving to be more like them I'd picked so many flaws in. Net long after that the scarlet fever broke out, and we no longer wantes1 an excuse to make much of Olive and her aunt, for angels could not be kinder than they were. They went everywhere and helped everyone, and what We'd have done without them I don't know; It was wonderful how -the little ones chine to Olive. Not a motheit among es t e coula getthem to take the medicine as she could, and often her singing wmild_quiet them when nothing. else would. Many a dar- ling owed its life as muCh to her as to.the doctor. There were only three deaths -in all, . one of thein poor little Tim Skiver. He died with his red mittens on, and we buried him in them. Those were terrible times, and but for oar Olive I don't know what we would have done: There's not a mother in the Bend but would almost give her life for her. • That was all a year ago. We have a new schoolhouse 110Vir, and Olive is paid for teach- ing in it. We are not able to pay her much, but refused to let her do it longer for noth- ing, for the Norths are not rich, more than some of the rest of us. Olive and Miss North have given us older ones some useful hints, too, in regard tit cutting and fitting, and the choice of colors , and. materials, so we find. that the poorest may have something of grace and . beauty in dress.. We have • an organ in our church, too, not a grand pipe one, but Olive can get music' out of it, andmy.tiary has learned to pick the guitar, and we have that, to, so if -you'll be at church in the 1nel-fling, I'll promise you some aegood mustas you'll_meet°with in two. days' journeet -Good Housekeeping. , four towels upon which the evangelists had wiped their heated brows, $5 a -piece." , -The man who lways stops to think ; what he is going to; say seldom says exactly , -The man who is always yielding to d temptation seldom finds any difficulty in e finding temptations to be yielded to. -Som- erville Journal. • -An old woman in Bridgeport, Connecti- cut, who has pasted nearly 5,000 medical re- cipes in a book during the past 40 years, has never been sick a day in her life, and she is growing discouraged.

My home is in Maine, but I spent last Sunday in New York, and, seeking a place to attend eveoing service, I was very strong- ly impressed with the need of a little world- ly wisdom in running a' church. I found Out by the daily paper there would be an address to young men at the Broadway Tabernacle, Sunday 'evening, so about half -past seven I walked down. Sixth Avenue. from Forty-second street, and arrived at the ehurch about seven thirty- five. • The first thing impressed on my mind was that I had struck a pretty lonesome church lin a, lonely corner. • There evidently were three deers' on the front of the church. Two were open, but just inside were inner doors with narrow glass, so you could see very little light. No one seemed to be going in, but I went into the vestibule and looked into the church. There were only four or five people inside, and it looked so lonesome I went Out and started' to find some other chereb. The theater opposite was a blaze of light, and I went Over to see what was going on ; but as it was note religious service, 1 came back, thinking I would M eao over to adison Avenue ; but, passing the church again, T. 1 - sew a- few people going in, and I conclude,: ( to follow.
