Jiij f:i'6 of I'l'ClniV'iiJC.
The Thirty Yens' War wan ever, and
Germany rested irom blood. Two years
allcr the peace, George Neuinark, a
young man was liviug in one of the nar
rowest and filthiest lanes ol Hamburg.
No ono visited him, aud all that the
people of the house new of him wa,
that for tho most part of every day he
played nis violoncello wiih such skill
and cxprcibion that they thronged round
hia door to catch the music. Ilia cus.
torn was to go about midday and dino in
a low restaurant, lYcijuciitud by beggars ;
lor tho icst he would go out in tho twi
light with something under his shabby
cloak, and it was always noted that he
paid his bill the day alter such an expe
dition. This had not escaped tho curi
osity of Mistress Johannseu, his land,
lady; and having (juie'ly followed him
one evening, he stopped, to her dismay,
at the shop of a well known pawnbroker,
it was all plain now j and tho good
natured woma:i determined to help him
il she could.
A few d.'.ys after, kIio tapped at his
door, acd was filled with pity to find
nothing in the room but her own Bcanty
furniture. All the rest had been re
moved, save the woll.known violoncello,
which stood iu tho corner of tho window
w hi Lt tho youog man sat iu theopposito
window-corner, his bead buried in his
Lauds.
' Mr. Neumark,' said the landlady,
' dou't take it ill that I make so free as to
visit you, but as you have not left tho J
house lor two days, and wo nave liad no
music, 1 thought you might bo &ick. If
I could do a&y thing '
' Thank you, my good woman,' ho
answered wearily aud with ead gratltudo
in his tone ; ' I am not confined to bed,
aud 1 Lave no fevor; but I am ill very
ill.'
' Purely, then, you ought logo bed?'
' No,' ho replied very quickly, and
blubhed deeply.
' Oh 1 but you must,' cried MiHtroen
t7j"..iiUhi-jii VoUIt. ' Mow, Unur
me. l ia an old woman, old etwngh to
be your moihev, and I will j'ist see if
yonr bed is right.'
4 l'ray don't trouble yourself,' ho re
plied, and sprang up quickly before the
bedroom door.
It was too late, however, for the good
woman had already seen that thero was
nothing but a bag of straw and that
tame bhabby mantle in which ho made
tho evening journeys. Sho left the
room, and in a few minutes returned
laden with dinner.
' You must not tAo it ill,' she began,
when dinner was over 5 ' but you ore
surely not a nativo of our town. Do you
know any ouo hero ?'
' No one ; I am a stranger : but you
are the first person that lias spoken to
me kir.dly. May God bless you ! '
Y.'cll, uow, if it would not be rudo, I
would liko to ask you somo questions.
Whoaieyoa? What is your liaino ?
Where do you come from ? What is your
bunioes? ? .Are you a mu'ician 'I Are

IJreathlcirS rather than exhausted, eho
Mopped, and the young wan, fcinil'mir at
hi j yoo.i.n;itu;ed eatechir.t, be;;r.s : ' My
Oiitoe is Geoic'c Neumark. My varenta
were poor townsfolk of Muhlhauscn, and
aro bMih dead. I was born there nine
and twenty years a;o, on tho ciitecnth of

and often first to seek my daily bread

Lord' my God. I know that ho iil
help me at .'ho last.'
JJut how iJid jou think to get your
living ! ' interrued the landlady.
' I Mudied jurisprudence, but was
unsuccessful. For tn years I Buffered
huntrer and thirst enough tft the Latin
school of Schlousingen, a little towu in
tho neighborhood of my bir'hplacc,
where I learned that the wisdocn o' this
world will not give me bread. Ti';en, at
two and twenty, I went to Kouigsberg
to study law. It was far to journey, but
I lied from the hideous strilo that wast,
cd my fatherland. I avoided the hor
rors of war, but ouly to fall into the
equal horror of fire, cud I soon lost by
the flame ull 1 hud, to the last farthing,
and was a beggar.'
' Why, whal'had you to live on ? '
' The gift oI'Gol. You mu.-ft know
that I am a poet, and you may have
heard that I have home readiness in
playing the violuucello, and by thao 1
iound many friends and benefactor,
who helped mo indeed sparingly
enough.'
' Aud did you rcniaiu in Kouig-berg
till you came here ? '
' No,' ho answered, bighing heavily.

have been the voice of my own will ; for

4 Lut tell me,' said tho landlady, 'what
ofiico do you seek ? '
If it wcro God's will, I could earn
lay bread at writing, at a clerkship of
any sort.'
' Then you arc not a musician ? '
' WTel!, I am, and I am not. I can
play a little, but for ray pleasure, and to
win bread. This violin ia my only
friend in the world.'
4 Kut how do you live f '
' My good woman,' he said with a
faint smile, 4 1 could tell you much of
tho wonderful goodncs and mercy of
God to mo in all my misery. It is true
I havo now nothing left but this dear
old violin. But you know Mr. Seibert?
He has a clerkship vacant, and he is to
answer my application to-day. I be
lieve it is time for me to be with him, so
you must excuse me.'
CHArTER n.
Nathan Ilirsoh, the Jew pawnbroker,
dwelt in a narrow, orooked lane that led
down to tho harbor. Late one evening
a young man in a shabby cloak, entered
the musty shop.
Good evening, Mr. Neumark,' said
the Jew. ' What brings you so late.
Havo yon no patience till tho morning? '
4 No, Nathan ; if I had waited till
tho morning, perhaps I had not come at
all. What will you give me for this
violoncello ? '
4 Now, what am I to do with this
great fiddle ? 'drawled the Jew.
4 That yo know perfoctly well, Na
than, put it in theoorner thero behind
the clothes, where no one will see it.
Now, what will you give me for it J '
Nathan, took it up, examined it on
every side, and said, aa ho laid it down,
4 What, will I give you ? Is it for
two pence worth of wood and a oouplj
with silver and mothor-of-pcarl ; but
there is nothing here but lumber. '
' Hear me,' said Neumark. ' full
five years loug I hoarded, farthing by
farthing, full five years I suffered hun
ger and pain, before I had tho five
pounds that bought this inMtrtment.
Loud mo two on it. You shall havo
three should I ever redeem it. '
The Jow flung up his hands.
Two pounds ! Hear him I Two
pounds for a penny worth of wood !
What am I to do with it if you won't
redeem it ?
4 Nathan' and the young man Bpokc
low and strong 4 You don,t know how
my wnole soul is in this violin. It is
my last earthly comfort, my only earthly
friend. I tell theo, I might almost as
well pawn my soul as it. Would st
thou have my soul ? '
4 Why not ? And if you did not ro
deem it, it would be inioe. But what
would a Jew do with your bouI ? '
riu.sh, jew. lot tho fault was my
own. The Savior, whom thy people
cruciucd, lias redeemed my bouI. aud
I am his. I spoke in the lightness of
despair. But I am his, and ho will
never leave mo to want. It is hard
when I must sacrifice tho last and dear
est. But he will help me. Iwil! pay
theo back. '
4 Young man, you will not deceive
me with these vain hopes. The last
time, did yon not tell me that a rich
merchant would help you ? ,
4 Sicbert ? Yes. I went to him at
his own hour, and he said I came too
late ; tho place was given to auother.
Am I to bear the penalty of the conduct
of others ?
4 1 deal with you, aud not with
others,' returned the Jew coldly.
4 Take yonr great fiddle away. '
4 Nathan, you know I am a gtraugor
hero. Iteracmber when you were a
stranger, aud tho Christian helped the
Jew. I know no one but you. Give
mo but thirty ehillihgs.'
4 Thirty shillings ! Have I not said
.ilready that no merchant can give thiyty
sb illingi for a pennyworth of wood f '
4 .Thou art a hard and cruel man ! '
Anu, with theso words, Neumark
snatched up his beloved violoncell aud
rushed out of the shop,

thirty. I may as well tako it off the
five-and-twenty shiilings ! it will save
you bringing it back here.'
Nenma'-k made no answer. He was
gazing at his violoncello, while the tears
rolled silently down his cheek.
4 Nathan, I havo but one request.
You don't know how hard it is to part
from that 'violin. For ten years we
have been together. If I havo nothing
else I have it : at tho worst it spoke to
me, and suug back all my courage and
hopo. Ten times rather wonld I give
my heart's blood than this beloved
comforter. Of all the sad hearts that
havo left your door thero has been nono
so sad as miuc.'
His voice crew thick, and he paused
for a moment.
' Just this one favor you must do mo,
Nathan ; to let me play once more upon
my violin.'
And ho hurried to it without waitiD"
for au a-.iBwer.
4 Hold 1 ' cried tho Jew, in a passion ;
4 the shop should havo been closed an
lour ago but for you and your fiddle,
Come to-morrow, or, not at all.'
4 No to'day, now, returned Neu-
mark. 4 1 must say farewell,' and seiz
ing the instrument, and half embracing
it, ho sat down on an old chest in the
middle of tho shop, and began a tune
so exquisitely soft that the Jew listened
in spue of himself. A tew more stanns,
and he sang to his own melody two stan-
zas of the hymn
"Lifo is weary, Saviour, talco mo."
' Enough, enough,' broke in the Jew.
' What is the uso of all this lamenta.
tion ? You have fivo-and-twenty ehill
ings in your pocket-'
But the musician was deaf. Absor
bed in his own thoughts, he played on.
Suddenly the key changed. A lew
bars, and the melody poured itself out
anew ; but, like a river which runs into
the sunshine out of the shade of sullen
banks, he sang louder, and his face
lighted up- with happy smiles :
"TlitlrnP mm wmm " f"
That's better. Stick by that,'
shouted the Jew. And don't forget
that you hava fivo-and-twenty shillings
in your pocket. Now, theo, in a fort
night tho thing is mine if you havo not
redeemed it." And he turned aside,
muttering mcchanioally, 44 but what am
I to do with a great pioce of lumber
work?"
Neumark laid his violin gently back
in the corner, and murmured, 4 Ut fiat
divina voluntas As God will I am
still ; " and without a word of adieu lelt
tho shop.
As he rushed out into the night, he
stumbled against a man who seemed to
havo becu listening to the musio at the
door.
4 Pardon me, sir, but may I ask if it
was you who played and sang so beauti
fully just now ? '
4 Yes,' said Neumark hurriedly, and
pushed on.
The stranuer seised hold of his oloak
4 Pardon me, I am but a poor man, but
that hymn you sung has gone through
my very soul. Could you tell ma, per
haps, whore I might got a copjr ?
am only a servant, but 1 would give a
florin to get this hymn that was just
written, I do believe, tor myself.
4 My good friend,' replied Neumark
cently, 4 will willingly fulfil your wish
without tho florin. May I ask who you
aro?'
1 John Gutig, at your service, and in
tho house of the Swedish Ambassador,
Baron von Bosenkrant.'
4 Well, como early to-morrow morning.
My name is George Neumark ; and you
will fiud me at Mistress Johannscn's, in
the Crooked lane. Good night.'
OflAPTEH in.
Ouo morning, about a week after this,
Gutig paid a second visit to Mistress Jo
hannsen's. Neumark rsccivod him
kindly.
4 Perhaps, sir, you will think what I
am going to say foolish, but I have
prayed o?er it the whole night, and I
hopo I may mako so bold.'
'What ? Is it a second copy of the
hymn ; of course you may havo it with
pleasure. '
4 No, no, sir, it is not that. I have
tho copy you gave mo in my Biblo, to
keep it better ; though if it were lost, I
think I havo it as well off as the Lord's
Prayer and the Creed. But yesterday
you won't take it ill ? '
4 Never mind ; go on. '
4 Well, sir, tho Ambassador had a seo.
retary that wrote all his letter?. Yester
day he suddenly left the house; why, no
one knew ;but we believe that the mas
ter found him in default aud let him
easily off. Yesterday evening, as I saw
my lord to bed, he said to me ; 4 Now
that Mr. Secretary is gone, 1 know not
where to look for as clever a one. '
Somehow your name came iutomy iniud;

4 No, my lord, ' said I though I know
him, 1 am much to humble to have him

Ilio result was, that Neumark ob
tained the situation. On an interview
with the Ambassador, that functionary
asked him if he could sift papers that
required a knowledgo of jurisprudence
and politics r

You may take your owu time, and when
you are ready knock at the next door.'
CHAPTER IY.
Neumark left tho hotel of the Am
bas.sador that evening with a radiant face,
and as he walked quickly through the
streets, talked with himself, whilo
smile stole across his lips : 4 Yes, see
leave God to order all thy ways.'
It was to Jew Nathan s that ho took
his way.
' Give mo my violoncello, ' ho cried.
1 Here arc tho five-and-twenty shil
lings, and a half crown more. You need
not be bo amazed. I know you well.
You took advantage of my poverty, and
bad 1 been an hour beyond the tort-
night you would have pocketed the five
pounds. Still, 1 thank you for the fivo
and-twenty shillings ; but for them
must have lelt Hamburg a beggar,
Nor cn I feel that you did anything
yourself, but wore simply an instrument
in tho hand of God. You know nothing
of the joy that a Christian has in saving
another, so I pay you in what coin you
liko best, an extra half-orown. Here
aro the one bound seven and sixpence in
bard money. . Only remember this :
" Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the rock that naught can move.
Seizing his violoncello in triumph,
Neumark swept homeward with hasty
steps, never pausing till he reached his
room, sat down, and began to play with
m.tnYt hna.Anl- " I

unheeding, and played and sang until
his landlady scarce knew if ttho was in

hannsen ? be said, whon he had finished
' Well, perhaps you will do me the
kindness to call in as many people as
thero are in the house und in the street
Bring them all in. I will sing you
hymn that you nover heard before, for
I am the happiest man in Hamburg,
Go, dear, good woman ; ro bring mo
congregation, aud I will preach them
a sermon on my violoncello.'
Ia a few minute the room was full-
Then Neumark seized bis bow, played
bar or two, opened his mouth and sang
44 Lcavo God to order all thy ways,
And bope in him, whate'er betide;
Thou'lt find him in the evil dnyi
An all sulfioient strength to gnido.
Who trusts iu God's unchanging Ioto,
Bui'ds on the rock that naught can mere.
14 What can these anxious cares il,
These nerer ceasing moans and sighs ?
What can it help us to bewail
ach painful moment as it flies T
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
" Only your restloss heart keep still,
And wait ia cheerful hope, oonteat
To lake whate'er his graciuus will,
His all-discerning love hath sent ;
Rat doubt onr inmost wants are known
To him who chose us for his own."
Here the singer stopped, for his voice
trembled, aud the tears ran down bis
cheeks. The littlo aulieuco stood fixed
in silent sympathy ; but at last Mistress
Johanusen could contain herself no
longer.
4 Bear, dear sir,' sho began, drying
her eyes with her apron, for there was
not a dry oheek iu the crowd, ' that is

When he ceased for the second time.

little audience quitely dispersed.

New Hampshire correspondent of The
Rural New Yorker, gives tho following
recoipo for salting buttet : Take two
quarts of good salt, one ounce of sugar,

cold weather.
