Anti when later he heard the garrulous Jones declare that he'd bet a boss he could pint out some body. as know'd a blamed sight more than they keer'ed to tell, he made up his mind that if it came to p'inting out ho should try to be even with Jones.

It 'liras a long, lon*ine; fearfu night, that the school-rnaste; passed, lying with nerves on edge bud eyes wide open in that comfortless 'bed in tho "furdest corner of the loft of Pete 1 Jones's house, shivering with cold,_ while the light snow that was fall- , 1 lug sifted in upon the ragged patch- work quilt that covered him. ter- 1 ves shattered by sleepl ess ness imag ine many things, and for the first hour Ralph felt sure that Pete would cut his throat before um . And you, friend Callow, who ve blunt edT your palate by swill' wing the Cayenne pepper of the ,penny-dread fuls, or of a certain sort of, Sunday school books, you wish me to, make this night exciting by a hand-to band contest between Ralph acid a robber.

Anti you'd like <somethin - ,g Of t that sort just here. it's-- - i - So pleasant to have one's hair stand on end, you know, whew - One is safe from danger to ones - elf. But if you want each iodiVidual hair to bristle with such a "Struggle in the Dark- 4 " you can buy trap-doors and subterranean passages dirt-cheap at .the next news-stand. But it was, indeed,a real and terrible "Struggle in the Dark" that Ralph fought out at Pete Jones's. When ballad vanquished his fears of personal' violence by reminding himself that. it would be folly for Jones to commit murder in his own house, _the question of Bud and - lian nah took the opperttiost place-in his thoughts. And 54 the linage of Hannah spelling against the master came up to him, us the memory of the walk, the talk, the box-alder tree, and all the rest took pos..Nession. of him, it seemed to Ralph that his very life depended upon hissecuring her love. He-would shut his teeth like the jaws of a bull-dog, and all Bud's muscles should not prevail over his' resolution and his strata gems: „ wes easy . to persuade himself It that this was right. Hannah ought not to throw herself away,on Bud Means. Men of some culture always play their 'conceit off against their consciences. To a man -of literary habits it always seems to be a .great boon that . he . confers on 'iv' woman when he giVes her, his love, .Reason ing thus, Rttlph had. fixed hisresOlu tion, and if thisnight hadbeen shor I - ter, or sleep pble, the Color of his life might brive been changed. 1 But sometime along In the tedious.

And so the battle had jest as well be given up at once, for it. must be lost in the will. But to Ralph lying there in the still darknts, with his conscience as wide-awake as if it were the Day of Doom, there seemed something so terrible in this overthrow , of the bet ter nature which he knew to be ine vitable as soon as the voice of con science became blunted, that he look ed about for help. Redid notattiost think of God; but`there caine into his thoughts the memory of a travel worn Galilean peasant, hungry, slee py, weary', tempted, tried, like other men, bat having a •strange,idivine Victory in him by which everything evil was vanquished at his coming. He remembered how he had reached out a hand to every helpless one, how he was the Helper of every Weak one. And out of the depths of his soul he cried to the Helper, and found comfort. Not victory, but what is better, strength. And so; without a thought of the nicieties of theological distinctions, without dreaming that it was the beginning of a religious experience, he found what he" needed, help. And the Helper gave his beloved sleep. CILAX'TE.II IX. HAS (SOD FORGOTT , EN HOOKY? S "Pap wauts to know of you would spend to-morry and Sunday at our house 4" said one of Squire Hawkin's girls, on the very nex t ever.ing which was Friday. The old Squire was thoughtful enough to remember that Ralph would not find it very pleas ant "boarding out" all the trine he was entitled to spend at Pete Jon es's. Fcir In view of the fact that Mr. Pete Jones sent seven children to the school, the "Master" in Flat Creek was bound to spend two weeks hi that Comfortable place, sleeping in a pre-occupied bed, In the "furriest corner," with Insufficient cover, an gler an insufficient roof, and eating 'floating islands of salt pork fished out of oceans of hot lard. Ralph was not slow to accept the relief offered by the hospitable justice of the peace, whose principal business seemed to whicalk AMC Claritbglitr; - 2Vnir ab Shocky traveled the same road, Ralph took advantage of the oppor tunity to talk with him. The Mas ter could not dismiss Hannah whol ly train his mind. He would at least read the mystery of her life, if Shocky could be prevailvd on to fur nish the clue. 'Poor old tree !" said Shocky, pointing to a crooked and gnarled clm standing by itself the middle eta . For when the elm, natu rally the most gr aceful of trees, once gets a "bad set, "as ladies ,say, it can grow to be the most deformed: This solitary tree had not a slnglestmight limb. "Why do you say 'poor old tree'?" asked Ralph. "'Cause its lonesome. All Its old friends is dead and chopped down, and there's their stumps a-standin' Jes like grave-stones. It mud be lonesome. Some folks says it don't feel, but I think it does. Everything seems to think and feel. See it nod ding its head to them other trees in the woods, and a-wantiu' to shake hands! But it can't move. I think that tree must a growed in the night." `Why, Shocky?" "'Cause it's so crooked," and Shocky laughed at his own conceit ; "must a growed when they was no light so as it could see how to grow." - And then they walked on in silence 41 minute. Presently Shocky began looking up into Ralph's eyes to get a Male. "I guess that tree feels Just like me. Don't you'?" "'Why., how do you feet,?" "Kind & bad and lonesome, and like as if I wanted to die, you know Felt that wuy ever swim they put my father into the graveyard, and sent my mother to .the poor house and Banner to Me Miss Means's. What kind of amlace avoor-house? Is it a poorer place than Means's? I wish L was dead and one of them clouds was.a earryin' sue and /limner and mother up to where father's gone; you know. I wonder if God forgets all about poor folks when their father dies and their mother gits in to the poor-house? Do you think he does? Seems so to me. May be God lost track of my father when he come away from England and crossed over the sea. Don't nobody on Flat Creek keer fer God, and I giifti God don't keer fer Flat Creek. But I would though, of he'd git my moth er out of the poor-house and git Ban ner away from Means's, and let me kiss my mother every night, you know, and sleep on my Banner's arch, es like I used to afore father died, you see." Ralph wanted to speak, but he couldn't. And so Shocky, with eyes looking straight ahead, and as if for getting Ralph's presence, told over the thoughts that he had often talked over to the fence-rails and the trees. " It was real good in Mr. Pearson to take me. wasn't it? Else I'd been hound out till I was twenty one, may be, to some mean man like .Ole Means. And I ald't but seven. And it would take me fourteen years tO git twetity-one, and I never could live with my mother again after Manner gets done her time. 'Cause, you see, klanner'll be through in 'three wore year, and I'll be ten and able to work, and we'll get a little place as big as Granny Sander's, Ralph did not hear another. word of what Shocky said that afternoon. For there, right in front of .them, was Granny Sanders s log cabin, with ' its row Qf lofty sun-flower stalks, now dourand dry in front, with its rainwater barrel by the side of the low door,' and its ash barrel by the fence. In this cabin lived alone the old and shriveled hag whose hideousness gave her a repu tation for almost supernatural knowl edge. She was at once doctress and newspaper.

They were natives of the same vill sige of Lewisburg, though Small was five years the elder. Some filets in the doctor's life bad come into Ralph's possession in such a way as to contirlillifelongauspicion with out giving • him power to expose Small: who was firmly intrenched in the good graces of the people of the county -seal village of Lewisburg; where he had grown up, and of the cross-roads village of. Clifty, where his "shingle" now hung. Small was no ordinary villain. He was a genius.. Yourordinary hypo crite talks cant. Small talked noth ing. - He was the coolest, the, stead iest, the uiqst silent, the most prom ising-boy eves born in Lewisburg., He made no pretensions. Ho set up no claims. He uttered no 'notes.: sions. He went right on and Jived a life above reproach.. Your vulgar' hypocrite makes long prayers .in prayer-meeting, Small did nothing of the sort: • He eat still in prayer meeting, arid listened to Ihe elders as a modest young man should. i TYour commonplace hypocrite boasts. Small never alluded to himself, and thus a consummate egotist got credit for modesty. . it -is but. an indif ferent trick for a hypocrite to make temperance speeches. Dr. Small did not even belong tom temperance so ciety. But he could never be per suaded to drink even so much as a cup of tea. There was something sublime in the quiet voice with which he would say ,'"Cold water, if you please," to a lardy tempting him with smoking-coffee on 'a cold morn ing. There 'was no exultation, no sense of •merit in the act. Every thing was done in a modest and mat ter of-course way beautiful to behold. And his face was a neutral tint. Neither face nor voice expressed any thing. Only a keen reader of char acter might have asked whether all there was in that eye could live con tented with this cool, austere, self contained life; whether there would not be somewhere a volcanic erup tion. But if there was any sea of molten lava beneath, the world did not discover) it. Wild boys were sick of having Small held up to them as the most immaculate of men. Ralph had failed to get two schools for whiCh he had applied, and had attributed both failures to certain shrugs of Dr. Small at the house of Granny Sanders, the center of intel ligence :as well _as of ignorance for the intelligence of the neighbor hood, he trembled. Not that Small would say anything. He damned people by a silence worse than words. Granny Sanders was not a little flattered by the visit. • - Why, doetor, howdy, howdy Come in, take a seat.' I am `glad to see you. I 'lowed you'd come. Old. Dr. Flounder used to say he-larnt lotCo' things .of me. But most of the-doctors senee hez been. kinder stuck up, you know. But I know'd you fer a man of intelligence." Meantime, Small, by his grave si lencesnd attention, had covered the old ithg with flattery without saying putts and things. Nigh upon twen ty year ago they was a man lived over .on Wild 'Cat Crick as haft a breakin'-out on his side. 'Twas the left , side, jes below the waist. Doc tor couldn't do nothin'. 'Twos Doc tor Peachain. He never would have within' to do - with 'ole woman's cures.' Well, the man•was goin' to die. Everybody seed that. And they came a driving away over here all the way from the Wild Cat. Think of that air !• I never was so flustered. '• But as soon as I laid eyes on that'air man, says I, he's got the shingles, says 1. I know'd the min ute 1 - seed`it; And if they'd'_a 'gone clean iienund, nothing could' 'a saved him. I says, says 1, get me a black cat. So I fist killed a black cat, and let the blood run all over the swellin'. I tell you, doctor, they's nothing like it. That wan was well in a month." "Did you use the blood warm ?" asked Small, with a solemnity most edifying. These were the only words he had utte - since he entered the cabin. 'La . ll, yes; I Jest let it run right chit a - he cat's tail onto the breakin' out. Fer airesipelus, I don't know nothin' so good - as the blood of a black hen." "How old?" asked The doctor. "There you showed yer science. doctor ! They's no power in a pullet. The older the black hen the better. And you know the cure fer rheuma fir..." And here the old woman got down a bottle of grease. "That's ile front a black dog.' Ef it's rendered right, it'll knock the hind sights off of any Theumatiz you ever see. But it must be rendered in the dark of the moon. Else a black dog's He a'n't worth no More nor a white onS." And all this time Small was smell- lug of the uncorked bottle, taking a little on his finger and feeling of it, and thus feeling his warto the heart —drier than her herbs—of the old witch. And then he went round the cabin gravely, lifting eieh separate bunch of dried yarbs from its nail, smelling of it, and then, by making att.interrogation point 'of his silent face; ho managed to get a lecture from her on each article in her mate-' ria medico, with the most marvelous stories ilhistrative of their virtues. When the Granny had gotten her fill of his •silen tdattery, he was ready to curry forward \ bis main purpose. There was something weird about this silent man's ability to turn the conversation as he chose, to have it go. Sitting by the Granny'a tea-ta ble, nibbling, corn bread while he drank his glass of water, haVing de elined even her sassafras, he ceased to stimulate her medical talk and opened the vein of ,gossip. Once started, Granny Sanders was sure td allude to the robbery. And Once on the robbery the doctor's • course was clear. • "I 'low somebody not fur away Is in this 'ere busine.ssi" Not by a ward, nor even by a nod, but by some Motion of the eyelids, perhap s ; Small indicated that he agreed svith her. "Who d'ye s'pose 'tin?" • But Dr. Small was not,. In the habit of supposing. Ho moved his head .to a quiet way, just the lest perceptible bit, but so that the old creature un detl that he could give light if he'Wanted to. , dunno anybody that been .

"I -think so," said Small quietly, and, having taken his hat and bowed a solemn and respectful adieu, he de parted. He had not spoken twenty words, but he had aatiatled the newsmonger of Flat Creek that Ralph was a bad character at home, and worthy of suspicion of burglary, • CAAVThU XL MISS MAIITIIA HAWKINS.

Miss Hawkins was recently from I.4a,Nachusetts. How many people there are lathe most cultivated com munities whose education is partial "It's very common for schoolmas ters to dig in the elements at the East," proceeded Miss Martha. Like many other people born, in the celes tial empires (of which there arethree —Uhina,Virginia and Massachusetts) Martha was not averse to informin ,, outside barbarians of her good fortune in this regard. It did her good to speak of the Fast. Now Ralph was amused with Miss Martha. She really had a good deal of intelligence despite her affectation, and conversation with her was both interesting and diverting. It helped him to forget Hannah, and Bud, and the robbery,-and all the rest„ and she was so delighted to find somebody to wakeful impression engird she had come out to talk whiktltalph was at work. Butjust at this moment the school-master was not so much inter ested in her interesting remarks, nor so much amused by her amusing re-_ `,marks,-as he should have been. He - saw a man coming down the road riding one horse and leading another, and ne recognized the horses at adis tance. It must be Bud who was rid ing Means' bay mare and leading Bud's roan colt. Bud had been to mill, and as the man who owned the horse mill kept but one old blind horse himself, it was necessary that Bud should take two. It required three horses to run the mill; the old blind one - could -grind the grist, but the two others had to overcome the that Ralph was thinking. "nor about the two horses. Since that Wednes day evening on which he had escort ed Hannah home from the spelling school he had not seen Bud Means. If he had any lin, ,, ering doubts of the truth of what Mirandy had said, they had been dissipated by,the ab sence of Bud from school. "When I was to Bolting—" Miss Martha was lo Boston only once in her life, but as her visit to that sacred city Was the'most important occur rence of her life, she did not hesitate to air her reminiscences of it frequent ly. '" When was to Basting," she was just saying when, following the indications of Ralph's eyes, she saw Bud coming up the hill near Siluire HaWkin's house. Bud looked red and sulky., and toAtalph's and Miss Martha Hawkin's - ft,IU recognition he returned only a surly nod. They both saw that he was angry. Ralph was able to guess the a r aning of his wratn. Toward evening Ralph stole thro' the Squire's cornfield toward the woods. The memory of the walk with Hannah was heavy on the heart of the young master, and there was comfort in the-very miserableness of the cornstalks with their disheveled Jades hanging like tattered banners and rattling discordantly in the wind. Wandering without purpose, Ralph followed the rows of stalks first One way and then the other in a zig-tag line, taming - a right-angle every minute ar two. At last-he came out in a woods, mostly of beech, and he pleased his melancholy fancy by kick ing the dry and 'sulky leaves before hint in billows, while the soughing of the wind through the long, vibrant boughs and slender twigs of the beech forest seemed to put the world into the, wailing minor key of his own de spair. What a fascination there is in a path come upon suddenly without a knowledge of its' termination! Here was one running in easy, irregular curves through the woods, now turn ing gently to the right in order to avoid a stump, now swaying sudden ly to the left to gain an easier descent at a steep place,- and now turning Wantonly to one side or the other, as if from caprice In the man who by idle steps, unconsciously, marked, the line of the foot-path at first.— Ralph could not resist the impulse —who could?—to follow the path and find out itsdestination; and following it, ho came presently into a lonely hollow, where a brook gurgled, among the Heaps of bare limestone rocks that tilled its bed. Following the path still, -he came upon a queer little cabin builtof round logs, in the nilifst of a small garden patch inclos , 6,04 a brush fence. The stick chim ney daubed with clay and topped -with a barrel open at both ends, made this a it typical cabin. It flashed upon Italph that this place mnst be Hockey 1 . -lollow, and that this naust be the house of old John , Pearson, , the one-legged basket maker, and hi rheumatic wife, the house that liospttably sheltered little Shocky.

Twenty years in the West could not cure Squire .ilawkins Of saying " to " for ' at." "I rather guess as how fhe tale man Bosaw will give partickeler fits to - our folks to-day." For Squire Hawkins, having been expelled from the 'ltardshell' church of which Mr. Bosaw was pastor, for the grave offence of joining a tena,k perancesociety, had become a mem ber of " Reformers," the very res pectable people who now call them selves "Disciples," but whom the profane will persist in calling "Camp- bellites.

I know that explanations are al ways abominable to story readers, as they are to story x.riters, hut as so many of ,my readers have never bad the inestimable privilege of sitting under the gospel as it is ministered in enlightened neighborhoods like Flat Creek, I find myself under the necessity—need-cessity the Rev. Mr. Bosaw would call it—of rising to explain. Some people think the "Hardsheils" a myth, and some sen sitive Baptist people at the East re sent all allusion to them. But the "Hardshell Baptists," or, as they are otherwise called, the "Whisky Bap- , tists," and the " Forty Gallon Bap tists," exist in all the old ;Western add South-western States. They call themselves • " Anti-means Baptists" from their, Antinomian tenets. Their confession of faith is a caricature of Calvinism, and is expressed by their preachers about as follows : "Ef you are 'leeted you'll be saved, of you ain't you'll be damned. God'll take keer orhis, elect. ,it's a sin to run Sunday schools, or teinu'rance s'cie ties, or to send misslonarl' s. Von let God's business alone. What is to be will be, and yell can't bender it." This writer has attended a Sunday school, the superintendent of which was solemnly arraigned and expel led from the Hardshell Church for "meddling with God's busing" by holding a Sunday-school. Of course the Hardshells are prodigiously il literate, and often vicious. Some of their preachers are notorious. drunk ards. They sing their sermons out sometimes for three hours at a ce stretch.. Ralph found that ho was to ride the "clay -bank mare," • the only one of the horses that would " carry double," and that consequently he would have—according to Hoosier custom—to take Miss Hawkins be hind him. If it bad been Hannah instead, Ralph might . not have ob jected to this " young LochinVar" toode of riding with a lady on -"the, :Croup." but Martha Hawkins was another affair. Ho had only this conc-olation: His keeping company with Miss Hawkins might serve to disarm. the -resentment of Bud. At all events, he had no choice. What designsthe Squire had in this arrange- ' ment he could not tell; but at any rate the clay bank pare carried him to meeting on that December morn ing, - with Martha Hawkins behind. And, as 'Miss Ilaivk ins was not used to this mode of locomotion, she was in a state of delithtful fright-every time the horse sank to his knees in the soft, yellow Flat Creek clay.
