BECKY HARLAND'S PLACE,
BY AMY RANDOLPH
"I don't know whether you will suit
me or not," said Miss Towers,•reflect
ively.
"1 will do my best, ma'am," said
little Becky.
"Any objections to the country
demanded Miss Towers, in a bratique;
business-like way.
"No, ma'am."
"I never have kept a girl hefore,"
said .Miss Towers, gravely; "but my
brother is coming home this summer,
and 1, don't want to be obliged to be hi
the kitchen the whole time. ,Where
have you lived last ?"
Becky Harland grew pinlcall over.
"I m have never lived out before,
ma'am,, but ray uncle died suddenly,
and there was no more than enough
left tii' . 6upport my aunt, se I'd going
to try to support Myself."
"Very right and proper," said MisS
Towers. "Well, Rebecca, I. will try
you at,all events. Six dollars a month
is very Moder'ate wages, and although
you don't look 'real stout, yet I think
I can make you very useful about the
house."
So Miss Towers took Becky Har
land back with her to the old stone
farm house in the Ilousatonic valley.
ATM BCcky was never tired - of helping
Miss Towers strain the milk, and work
over the butter, and gather • pink hon
eysuckles, and feed the little downy
turkeys. And the roses in her cheeks
grow deeper and . the velvet bloom of
her lips seemed to catch the scarlet of
the wood strawberries, and Miss Tow
ers declaril, with an admiring glance
at her little "help," that "she didn't
took like the same child she was before,
that she didn't."
Meanwhile the preparations for Miss
Towers! "brother" went briskly on.
"I'll Make up a lot of cocoanut
pound cake,"
Miss Towers said, 'with
the recipe book in her hand. "That's
what be used to be desprit fond of
when he was a boy."
"Perhaps his tastes may have
changed," said Becky, who was rub
bing the old mahogany furniture with
a waxed cloth, at the other end of the,
room.
"I don't know about that," said
Miss ToWers, with a troubled air. "I
haven't seen him since 1"
".Not,seen him since he was a boy 1".
echoed•Bcelty, -with open blue eyes.
"Well, it does sound strange, don't
it ?" said - Miss Towers; but you see be
went away from home when he was
fifteen, and he's been out in the world
ever since ?"
"Is •he •a very old gentleman, Miss
Towers ?"„ innocently questioned Re
becca, as she rubbed away at the claw
foot of the antique pier table.
"Old !" eehoed Miss Towers, uplift.
ing both hands in amazement. "Wh - y,
he's ever se much younger than I am."
"Is he,?" asked Becky. "Why, I've
been fancying him, all along, an old
gentleman in a wig and cane."
Miss Towers burst into a fit of hear
ty laughter.
"Well, if that don't beat all ?" she
cried, wiping the tears from under her
spectacle glasses. "But after all, to a
stranger that don't know the family
story, it - might very easily appear so.
You see, child, my mother was a wid
ow when .she married for the second
time, and,den.r heart alive, what does
ail that little turkey chick, queaking
like a poss(issed creature ? Run, Re
becca, arid' see. I'm afraid the old
speckled lien has broken her, string,
and is worrying it."
Rebecca—was sitting in the twilight
on the deer stone that evening, one
cheek resting on her baud, and her
eyes dreamily fixed on the far off .wall
of woods,.growing purple in the com
ing dusk. - Miss Towers bad gone to
carry a basket of her ripest Wilson
strawberries to a sick neighbor, and
Becky was all alone, thinking over her
past, and pondering vaguely on her fu
ture.
" How strange it seems that I should
be here," she thought, "when it is
scarcely a year since I was the gayest
little butterfly in every city ball room !
The echoes of those old waltzes and
grlops come back to MO sometimes,
when I am just failing asleep with the
moonlight on my face, and the maple
leaves rustling softly at my open case
ment,; and yet I am far happier here.
That is, I Should be, if I could only for
get one thing. I wonder what girls
want to be so fitful and capricious fell
Oh, dear," and Becky's blue eyes swam
With tearsas she redieinbered the hand
some lover who had been so true and
faithful and•constant, until her own co
quetry had driven him•awtay from her
side. "I would like so to know w4p,t,
I=

whether ye is married . yet, and if he

• r
•- Andßeeky, anXioti'to escape fretri
her own haunting thoughts, jumped up
and ran across_the dewy meadow to
meet Miss Towers, whose tall, angular
figure Was just coming in sight round
the curv&df the maple swamp.
"Bless and save the' child !" cried
Miss Towers. • i`‘Why,; Rebecca, you
ain't afraid,?" •
"No--yes . —l . don't know. Let me
carry'your ; batik - et, please."
YRebecca," cried the old lady, next
morning, as :she drove tbe shaggy lit
tle pony into the door yard, returning
from the village poet.office, "I've got
a letter. Ire's coniing to•night."
"Is he?"' Said'the''girl; smiling be
cause Miss Towers' face was so radi
ant. "Then I'd better run out in the
garden and gather a fresh lot of straw
berries before the sun gets any high
er." • •
"Yes, run along-: and remember, Re
becca, all,that I've told you about, sit.
ting quiet and never disturb him when
he wants to
,writo, and speaking very
low, and peeping out of his way, ex
cept when you are wanted, for ho has
just come from England where they
aro very particular ; about servants."
"Yes,,ma'am, I will remember," she
made answer, meekly-, and folded up
Miss To*were' black large shaWl, while
that lady hurried out'into the kitchen
tusee whether the fire was in proper
conditibn for the,haking of diver and
sundry savory compounds designed to
tempt the appetite of the expected
guest.

our Becky. "Wo have been so happy

the general gorgeousness . ot the ap

stage rumbled into sight round the
corner of the fence, where a huge wil

off all outside view beyond its stream

Little Becky Harland; who had
been on the qui vice at the garret win

thistledown blown by the summer
breeze.
"Oh, Miss Towers ! Miss Towers !
there is a gentleman all alone on the
back seat of the stage, and I am sure
it must be Mr. Towers !"
"Mr. Towers r' repeated the old la

that his name isn't Towers; it is—"

corner, while Becky, in an accountable
fit of shyness, shrank back into the
corner and looked;urrinto the picture
of Ruth and Naomi that 'hung over
the mantlepicce.
"I wish ho hildn't come ! I'wish he
hadn't eomo!" repeated Becky over
and over to herself. "We were so
happy beforel"
/I.nd then remembering Miss Tow
ors' judicious advice as to keeping out
of the way except when sho was wan
ted, Becky turned to escape out
among her friends, tho downy chick
ens, at the south door; but to her in
finite discomfiture, just as she opened
the door, Miss Towers' steel colored
silk rustled up to the threshold, with
a tall, stately figure by her side, and
poor little Becky came face to face
with them, her cheeks dyed scarlet,
and her red-brown hair dishevelled by
her haste, yet looking wonderful pret
ty withal.
"Rebecca !" slowly enunciated Miss
Towers,
in an accent betokening a sort
of mild displeasure.
But her tall companion, a man of
about thirty-five, with dark grey eyes,
hair black as raven's wing, and a face
which, if not handsome, bore the ex
quisite outlines of refinement, had has
tily passed her, and entered the room.
"Becky! my darling Becky !"
"Colonel Falconer!" was all the girl
could gasp, so totally bewildered was
she. "Bless my soul!" ejaculated
Miss Towers, rubbing her spectacles
as if she would wear a hole in the
crystal lenses; "how ever did Rebecca
get acquainted with my brother ?"
"I was engaged to be married to
him once, Miss Towers," said Becky,
coloring and smiling, for there was
something in Colonel Falconer's eyes
that told her all the past was in a fair
way to be forgiven.
"And she will be again, Eunice, un
less' I have lost all my old arts of per
suasion," demurely added Col. Falcon-
"But," cried Miss Towers, why did
not.you tell me, Rebecca ?"
"Because, Miss Towers," answered
Be6ky ' "I never dreamed for an in
stant that your brother's name was
anything but Towers, or that Colonel
Falconer could by any possibility be
related to you !"
"Well," cried. Miss Towers, "if this
don't beat all that I ever heard of—
that Maurice Falconer—should—dear

in the back kitchen F.,
And away went Miss Towers, every
housewifely instinct 'in' her bosom
roused by the sibilant sounds of the
escaping clouds of vapor.
When she came back—it is bet just
to state that Sho stopped to 'take the
two pans of buttermilk biscuit out •of
the oven, and 'to reach down sundry
tumblers of amber jelly from the top
shelf of the cupboard—Col'. Falconer

An Example for Boys.
A notice of a death in last week's
Mercury brings again to mind a cir
cumstancelhat happened over twenty
years ago.• I was on an electioneer
ing excursion in Jo Davies county, 111.,
night overtaking me and being afraid
of getting into a mineral hole, I stop
ped at the first place offering, which
proved to bo the log house of a charcoal
burner. The good wife busied herself
in getting my supper whilst I took care
of my horse. In the morning after
breakfast (the man having gone to the
coal pit) I asked for my bill, but the
landlady refused to receive anything;
she sent her boy to the shed with me
to get my horse, and I concluded, as
she would take no pay, to give the
boy the dollar. The boy was less
than half grown, and wore a pair of
tow pants, notched about two inches
deep by wear around the bottom, a
Rhirt, of the same material sewed to
his pants, barefoot, a hat through the
crown of which his hair protruded,
and everything, including face, bands
and feet, tho color a charcoal burn
er's son would be, if not freshly wash
ed. The following day this lad, with
out any change of dress, and carrying
an earthen jug, minus a handle, by a
string tied around its neck came into
my office, the dollar in.band, saying he
wished me to buy him something with
it, as if it was known be had it would
be taken from hint to fill the jug next
time.
I looked at him, thinking he would
want a hat or shoes, and asked him
what I should get with it. Ile an
swered that be wanted a slate, pencil
and an arithmetic, but did not know
whether his money would buy all. I
went out, got what he wished, and
rolling up.some paper and pens with
them gave them to him.
Many times after I noticed him
come into my office when a trial was
progressing, slip his jug under the
seat, cross his legs in front to keep it
out of sight, and listen for hours to
the lawyers. I lost Sight of him for
a season, until my son coming home
from Mount Morris Seminary, inform
ed me ho was there going to school.—
When next I heard from him was af
ter I came to California; he was a
partner of a lawyer I knew in Galena.
The next I noticed was in an Illinois
paper that he was a Douglass Elector ;
then after that he had gone South in
the' army. '
I afterwards saw a dispatch from
him that we had taken Vicksburg,
signed by him as Adjutant General,
he being then on Grant's staff. I now
see by your last week's paper that
the Secretary of War is dead. And
this Secretary, of War was the boy
with the tow cloth' breeches. Who
could fail to lot() a country whose
workings will allow the most obscure
to attain the highest positions? So
young too ! What might ho not have
reached, had his life been prolonged
to a ripe old age ? One object in not
ing this, was for the encouragement
of the young. Boys, if this boy with
opportunities certainly less than most
of you, could accomplish so much, why
not you ? T.
THE CLOSE OF THE WEER.-A week.
It is but a short' time indeed, but Re ,
events are a host. To•wbom has the
week just closed brought joy 1 to whom
sorrow ? to whom riches? to whom
poverty? to whom friends? to whom
health? to whom happiness?
What; all these changes in one week?
Yes, and a host more numerous than
the sands of the sea. Many who see
the dawn of the present week.will be
in another world ere it 'closes; many
whom fortune smiled upon a week ago,
are groaning beneath the 'withering
frowns of poverty; many who were
floating gently on the bark,of ,life o'er
the Unruffled sea of happiness, a week
ago are now wrecks of ruin on the
shores of affliction ; many upon whom
the sun of last Sabbath shone propiti
ously, have ere this met with ill for
tune and been turned upon the world
children of poverty, and many whose
hopes and expectations were beaming
forth bright and prosperous, are at its
close the miserable beings of cruel dis.
appointment.
Arad such is the life of man ! It is
subject to changes in a week, a 'day;
nay; oven ao hour. The world is' still in
commotion revolution succeeding
revolution—time spreading its pro
gress, leaving behind traces of destruc
tion.; and even in a small community
many ,thrilling and exciting ,circum
stances might be summed up and re
,corded at the doge of each week:
