Still the angle stars ar6 shining, Still the rippling waters flow, But the angel-voice is silent That I heard so long ago. Hark ! the echoes murmur low, Long ago ! Still the wood is dim and lonely, Still the splashing fountains play, But the past and all its beauty, Whither has it fled away ? Hark ! the mournful echoes say, Fled away ! Still the bird of night complaineth, (Now, indeed, her song is pain,) Visions my happy hours, Do I call and call in vain ? Hark ! the echoes cry again, All in vain ! Cease, 0 echoes, mournful echoes ! Once I loved your voices well ; Now my heart is sick and weary,— Days of old, a long farewell! Hark! the echoes sad and dreary Cry farewell, farewell Zhu The Schoolmaster of Russian Bar. "When is he expected?" "They said he was coming in to-night's stage." "He taught in Frisco, didn't he ?" "Yes; I guess he was in the depart ment." The doctor's wifu was as authority on all Matters it, Russian Bar, and on this last sensation—the coming of a schoolmaster —she freely enlightened her neighbor, Mrs. Blunt, a plump widow, whose miner husband had died a few months before.— There was not much to gossip about in that quiet little village. The arrival and departure of the stage brought the people from their doors .three times a week ; and if a stranger was noticed, envoys were iin mediately dispatched to the hotel to learn his name and business, and -the probable length of his stay. But now Russian Bar was to have a new schoolmaster, and the folks wondered much if he would have any trouble with Sam Seymour, the butcher's boy, or Ike Walker, en unruly spirit, who had knocked down and pummeled the last preceptor, whri undertook to teach him schoool discipline. The trustees were pow erless in these matters, and declared that if a schoolmaster was not able to "get away" with the boys in a square, stand up fight, he might as well pick rip his traps and leave Russian Bar. On the very evening of the expected ar rival, Seymour and Walker, the leading spirits of the mutinous schoolboys, met at a pool, from which both were endeavor ing to coax a few speckled trout ter sup per. "Have you heard what the new chap is like, Saul ?" said Ike, 118 he impaled a wriggling worm on his hook. "No; have you ?" "Father told Jake, the bar•keeper, , that he was very young." "Aud k-nt;11?" "Guess he won't stay long in town, Ike ?" "I guess not, Sam. School ain't good for us such fine weather as this." The worthies sat and fished in silence for some time, and then Ike produced a bunch of cigarettes and passed them to his friend. At last, finding that the fish would not bite, they shouldered their poles and strag gled up toward the village, pausing for a moment to stone a Chinaman's rooster which had strayed too fitr from the protect ing wash house. Philip Houghton was a schoolmaster from necessity and not taste. Like many who have been educated as gentlemen, in one sense of the word, that is, without the acquaintance with any special pursuit that might be turned to good account in the struggle for bread—he found himself adrift in California with nothing to fall back on. Seeing an advertiseinent in a city paper for a competent teacher to take charge of a school at Russian Bar he answered it, and was accepted at a venture. Putting his few movabbs together—a pair of old foils and a set of well-worn boxing gloves .:—for Houghton was an accomplished box er and fencer•—he bought his ticket for Russian Bar. He found the stage-driver a communica tive, pleasant fellow, who, at his request, described the characteristics of his future home. Indeed, his description of the class of boys whom Houghton was to take charge of was not very encouraging. "You'll find them a hard lot," said he. "and they're all on the muscle, too." "What is about the weight of my old est ?" asked Houghton, good huntoredly. "You see, if I have got to exercise some thing more than moral suasion, I want to get posted on the physique of my men." "Well, Saul Seymour is about the strongest." "And what is about the size of the re doubtable Ike ?" "Well, 1 guess be taps you by half a head." "Oh, I expect we'll get along well enough together," said Houghton; "and I suppose this is the first glimpse of Russian bar," he added, as a turn in the road brought them in view of that picturesque The stage bowled along the smooth road, and past the great white oak, under whose friendly branches the teamsters were accustomed to make their noontime halt: "I'll set you down at the hotel," said the driver. "There's Perkins, the pro prietor, that fat lama smoking on the stoop." Houghton . 6onfessed to himself that the prospect before him was anything but a prepossessing one. He was not of a very combative nature, though he liked a little danger for the excitement; but a game of fisticuffs with a dirty, mutinous boy, had neither glory nor honor for a man that had been one of the hardest hitters in his college. The folks were all at their doors when the stage clattered up the single street, and the slender, good looking young man by the driver was measured and canvassed be fore that worthy had passed the mail to the doctor, who with his medical voeation, also found time to "run" the pOstoffice. The doctor's with was at her window, and after a long survey of the schoolmas ter, hastened to communicate her opinions to Mrs. Blunt. Meanwhile Houghton washed off the red dust of the road, and took his seat at the supper table. The dri ver had introduced him to about a dozen of the leading citizens during the few min utes that intervened between their arrival and the evening meal. "How do you like our town, Mr. Hough: ton ?" asked the landlord graciously, as la& helped his new guest to a cut of steak. "Well, it news a pretty place." i "When you get acquainted you'll find yourself pleasantly situated, but you'll have a hard time with the boys." "So they tell me. Anyhow, lam not unprepared," said Houghton, cheerfully. .After supper the landlord remarked confidentially to the doctor "that the young man had grit in him, and thought he'd be able to make the riffle with the boys " When Houghton arose next morning and opened his window to the fresh breeze, odorous with the perfume of the climbing honeysuckles. he felt that, after all, a residence in . a remote village, even with a parcel of rough boys to take care of, was preferable to the dusty. unfamil iar streets of San Francisco. He smiled as he unpacked his foils and boxing gloves —a little sadly, too, for they were linked with many pleasing associations of his un• dergraduate days. , "Well," he soliloquized, as he straight ened his arm and looked at th'e finely de veloped muscles, "I ought to be able to hold my own in a stand-up tight with these troublesome pupils of mine. This is my day of trial, however, and before noon we shall probably have had our hat tie nut." The schoolhouse, a raw, unfinished look ing frame building, stood bard by the river, at about half a mile from the town, When Houghton opened the rickety wood en gate that led into the school lot he found a group of some twenty boys al ready assembled. Among them were Sam Seymour and Ike Walker. The latter's sister, a pretty girl of sixteen, was leaning against the fence with a half dozen of her friends, for the Russian Bar schoolhouse was arranged for the accommodation of both sexes. Houghton handed the key to the near est bry, and asked him to open the door. With a look at the others and a half grin on his face, he obeyed. • "NOW boys, muster in." said Ilou,q,hton, cheerfully. They all passed in—Seymour and Wal ker last. The latter took a good look at the sehooltnaster as he went by. When they were seated, Houghton stood at his desk and laid a heavy rnle on the hooks before him. "sow, boys," he said, "I hope we Phil get along pleasantly together. You treat me fairly and you shall have no reason to complain, I promise you. Silence and obedience is what I require, and a strict attention to the matter of our instruction." Giving them a portion of the grammar to prepare for recitation, he walked quiet ly up and down the room, occasionally standing at the windows, but appearing to keep no surveillance on the boys. Sudden ly the crack of a match was heard, follow ed by a general titter. Houghton turned quietly from the window, and saw the blue smoke front a cigarette arising from where Seymour sat. • "What is your naive, boy ?" he asked in a stern tone. "My name is Seymour." repiied the matincer, insolently. "And um you smoking?" guess so." "Loave the room." "I guess not." There was a dead silence in the school room nu.w, and Houghton felt that the hour of trial was at hand. "Seymour," he said, very quietly, "What ?" "Come here." Seymour, putting his hands in his pockets, sauntered from his desk, stood within a yard of the schoolmaster, and looked sneeringly in his face. "Leave the room," said Houghton again, in a lower voice. "No." • The lithe arm str.ightened like a flash of lightning, and the rebel measured his length on the floor, while the blood gushed from his nostrils. In a moment he sprang to his feet and rushed furiously at the schoolmaster, but went down again like a reed before that well-aimed blow. The second time he fell Houghton stooped down, and, lifting him as It . he had been a child, fairly flung him outside the door. Seymour, confused and amazed, staggered down to the brook to wash his face and reflect on the force of that slight arm. And Houghton, turning to the school without a word of comment on the scene. commenced the recitations. Walker was mum. Seywour's fate had appalled him, and, in fact, the entire mutinous spirit of the scholars of Russian Bar was in a fair way of being totally subdued. When the trustees heard of the affair they unanimously commended the school. master's pluck. "I tell you what, boys," said Perkins to a crowd who were earnestly engaged at a game of old sledge in his bar-room, "that Houghton knows a thing or two about managing boys. 'en] ..tr, or my name's net Perki:' Houghton was' 'treated by the folks of Russianfelt him to be a man of refinemet# 4 .l . :-'. .ght down in the world, but showintliO offensive superiori ty in his intercourse with then). The doc• tor's wife pronounced him to be the best New Yorker she had ever met, and the gossips insinuated that Mrs. Blunt, the widow, was setting her cap for him. Gipsy Lane, the daughter of a leading man in Russian Bar, and made wealthy by a saw mill, which all day long groaned and screamed some distance down the riv er, did not express her opinion as to Houghton's merits, but in the summer evenings when the schoolmaster, rod in hand,. wandered along the stream, and threw his line across the mill dam, Gipsy was seldom far away. Lane, a bluff, Marty old fellow, frequently asked Houghtop to spend the evening with him, and tilithis adventures in early California to a patient listener; while Gipsy dttlifelly mended her father's socks on the verandah. Mrs. Lane, when Gipsy was but a baby, was laid to rest in Lone Mountain, long before Lane ever thought of settling at Russian Bar. Seymour and Walker were the best and most industrious pupils the young master had, and were happy when accompanying him on his fishing excur sions. In fact, all agreed in declaring that the educational department in the village was a thriving success. One pleasant evening in June Gipsy Lane, twirling her straw hat, thoughtfully picked her way across the broad fields that lay between her house and the mill. The stream was a winding one, and as she pla ced her tiny foot on the first stepping stone, she saw a straw hat on the grass which she knew well. "How is Miss Lane tliis evening ?" said Houghton lazily from beneath a Mazanita bush, where he had been enjoying a dbok and a pipe. "Well, thank you. How is Mr. Hough toe ?" replied Gipsy shyly. "Warm, but not uncomfortable. Are you going to the mill ?" 7 "Yes, I haven letter that ham jag some for father?" "May I accompany you ?" `•Certainly, it' you ehoo4e." Houghton put on his hat and helped Gip4y across the brook. had a letter from New York a few days ago," said he, after they had lei the first bend of the ricer behind. "A pleasant one?" "Well, although iii one s'nse it bniught good news, still I ean hardly call its pleas ant letter. They walked on ani Girsy swung her hat pensively, longing, waft a wonsan'p curiosity, to hear more about the New York letter. "I am going to leave Povvian Bar. - said Houghton abruptly. "Indeed ! IIOws.)on ?" `•I do not know yet; possibly within a week." The hat wal swayed from side to side with increased energy. ' Do you care much. Miss Lane'" This with an earneet look into the haze! eyes that were kept steadily bent on the brown parched grass beneath their feet. "Yes, of course we shall ali be sorry t.) lose you," returned liipsy evasively. "It' I come hack in a few months with something for my future wife, shall I see this ring on her finger'" whispered Houghton, capturing the little hand that held the hat. and slipping a pearl ring on the delicate finger. Gipsy said nothing; hut her eyes turn ed for a moment on the schoolmaster's earnest face, and in the next her soft cheek was resting on his shoulder. Russian Bar, to a man, turned out to wish Philip Houghton God speed on the morning he took his place by the driver who one year before had set him down at Perkins' Hotel. They knew he Was on his way to Nsir York. and that he had been left some money and the gossips more than suspected that there was something between Gipsy Lane and their favorite. At all events, her eyes were red for a week after his departure. Winter had come, and the river was swollen and rapid, and many a lofty tree from the pine forest had found its way to the hearths ,at Russian Bar. One deli cious morning, crisp and cold, after a night's rain. the stage passed by the large white oak, and splashed with mad naked before Perkins' Hotel. It had bean all night on the way. for the roads were very heavy. The worthy propnetor of that exeell.,ost house was in the aet of tossing his fest cocktail, when a hearty hand was laid on his shoulder. and Philip Houghton shout ed: "Perkin'', old boy, how are you ?" The landlord retnrncl the Aike banal , dived behind the bar, and had a uecond cocktail mixed in a moment. "And now," said he, as he pledged the ex-schoolmaster. when will the wedding take place :" six weeks afterward.; the 041 alit woo hung with evf.rgreen wreaths. and a grand festival was held at Marian Mar. Lane w.^..sa lovely bride; and when Hough ton took charge of die mill eel Wrests. all his New York money in the village. and was admitted to practice in the 07111119, everything seemed to take a fresh start. Through all his warmest and moat devoted friend woo Sam Seymour, ones the terror of Russian Rar schonlabasters, and now schoolmaster there himself. Ntading 19T tat pun. Plain Peopk. I like 'em. The Creator never made a man to part, his hair in the middle. and any "weally" for "really." anal the Creator didn't intend to have a woman spend eighteen hours * day over powder and paint, and send their children into the country to he tired for by some erne.- eyed old rtmnan 't three ,h,Hat% per week. No, sir! and no, ma'am! If Providence had his way about it he would have small boys in the road, roll on the gras., and ear ry dusty noses, instead of being imprison ed in starched jackets, and threatened with a thrashing if they didn't "pucker their months just like ma." If people want to say "chawming" far charming, taint away at the night of a rat, and load little poodle dogs around by little chains, and have their monograms painted on their front doorsteps, why, it's all right. only I should think it would be a great bore on 'em for fear that some machrill would some day find out 'heir grawd fathers Sol* soap, or a flat boat. z. l I knew Imes years ages was a boy and be a man, lint 1 remeselleithet he was glad enough to hanl tanbark at three shil lings a load, mid that his sons and dough tars picked blackberries and sold 'em is buy starch ant saleratns. They arc -toe now. Arabella has a fashionable squint, and says "(law" fer day, -‘howse" fur horse, and it costs her more to paint her cheeks, than it does me to paint my house. Her brother, Algernon, sports a tender little cane, wears eye glasses, and his livery bin for a month amounts to more money Ms hie. old father earned in six. Their Basil used to be Jones,—plain, blunt .Jones, bet now they have it changed to ".locus." sad they draw it out a mile long. Well, I suppose it's all right, but ifthe old man could rise from his grave and drop in on 'em he'd wonder if he hadn't struck the wrong house. And it's none of my business if Will Larkins wears a diamond pin, alligator boots, swell cola's, and mauve pants, and has three coaeh dogs at his heels, a French dancing master, goes to Saratoga, owes a race horse, and star in doors on sunny days for fear of gettine e' his fingers tanned. He stares at me whenl go by him, and if I nod he pritends that he didn't see it.— It's all right, and probably be has forgot- ten how his father used to hoe corn fur my father at fifty cents a day, and how j his mother drove a milk-wagon. and sold' ' straw hats. Folks needn't be stuck up because they have a few dollars in bank. Nature's cur rency is brains and honest hearts, IA money needn't make a man forget that his father run a sawmill and his mother was her own servant. If any one can improve on the English language I have no übjeo tions, but let 'em do it without puckering their mouths until they look like mashed water-melons, and without twisting their tongues as if they bad a peanut stuck is their wind-pipes. Coins are made to measure, and the earth never asks whether the dead are bon•ton or paapers.—.V. Otaff.' Mr. Gladstone and his brother recently cut down, in two hours, at Hawardon, a tree that was thirteen feet eight ;ashes is circumference. Dow !bosh Fdr.
