HILI)A'S REVENGE. "Mother, where is Minna?" The speaker, attired in a gray cloak and straw hat, had just entered the cottage, where her mother sat monotonously spin ning by the firelight, for dusk had fallen. The girl was handsome, with a round chin, sharp curved lip, large, dark, open eye and square brow, about which fell her long black hair in careless tresses, that bespoke a firmness and strength of will rather unusual in her sex. "Minna !—where is she ever, Hilda," answered the mother, looking up with a smile—for Minna was the pet of parent and sister—"but with Captain Northeott ?" Throwing aside her hat, the girl sat down on a stool by the hearth, and, her hand clasped round her knees, looked si lently into the fire. "I wish, mother," she said, abruptly, "Minna was not so constantly and so late abroad with the captain. I wish he would wed her, as he might, without delay." "Why ? There's time enough, Hilda. Recollect, 'Marry in haste, repent at leis ure.' You don't mistrust the captain, surely ?''—and for the present, the whirr of the wheel ceased. "You don't believe he'd be false to our darling ?" "If I did, mother," ejaculated the girl, her dark eyes flashing up with a sudden gleam, her small brown hand being clench ed--"if I did—well," she added, dropping her voice again, "were it in my power, it would be bad for him." "Hilda!! Hilda! How the girl talks !" exclaimed the mother. "I'm certain our Minna's beauty would excuse a greater man than Captain Northcott making her his wife." True ; yet I sometimes wish her choice had fallen on one of our own class—on some honest, hard-working fisher as my father was," 'Tut ! To be left, Hilda, a widow, at the first gale, perhaps ; like in the song the captain sings, 'where the women weep and .ring their hands for those that'll never return.' " "That's a glorious song," responded Hilda. "It thrills you through. But hark—hush l Here is Minna." She rose up quickly, and, at the same time, the door opened, and a girl hurried lightly in. It was Minna. Never had she looked prettier, happier than at this moment, as, crossing the floor in the fire-light, she exclaimed : "Dearest Hilda, dear mother, rejoice with me. Henry's ship is ordered to leave here to-morrow week, and we are to be married on Friday, that I may go with him." "An unlucky day, Minna," remarked her sister, putting her arms about the younger, and kissing the pretty pleading face. "Yet I congratulate you sincerely on the news." All the evening Minna laughed and sang with delight. Even in her bed room they heard her clear voice singing her lover's song : "And the women aro weeping and wringing their hands For those who will never come back to the town." Were those words ominous ? Not in Ililda's mind. Though, as she laid down that night, she repeated for the twentieth time, "I am glad they are to be married at last." Monnah was a fishing hamlet in the Hebrides, and Hilda and Minna Thurlwyn were a fisher's daughters. One tempestu ous night a ship had harbored there. Its captain, Henry Northcott, had seen Minna. He had left, only to return to confess his love, and hear the sweet lips answer that his affection was reciprocated, when it had been arranged they should be married be fore the Cassandra sailed—a period which, until Minna's announcement, re corded above, had been indefinitely post poned. The time went quickly by, and Minna's spirits still retained their extraordinary buoyancy, as she prepared her humble trousseau. Only one day more, she thought, her lips quivering between laughter and tears, on the Thursday morning as she sat putting the last ribbon on her dress ; only one, yet how long it will seem ! It was early, not quite nine, when the latch lifted, and an old fisherman, as weather-beaten and rugged as the coast that was his home, looked in. At the sight of Minna he drew partly back, then he said : "Mrs. Thurlwyn, can I say a word to you, please ?" He tried to speak as usual, but she whom he addressed perceived something in his tone that made her rise instantly and go out to him. Not only she, but Hilda and Minna had seen it also. An expression of fear bad settled on the lat ter's countenance. "Jepson has bad news," she exclaimed, rising quickly. "It is about Henry ! He is ill !".. - She moved hurriedly forward. Hilda HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1875. would have stayed her, but she glided past and reached the door just as the fatal words were uttered. "It's true," the man was saying. "When the tide turned last night the Cassancler must have put to sea. The captain's gone ! Not a sign of him, his crew, or his ship were to be seen at dawn this morn ing." One wild, quivering cry, and Minna lay in a swoon upon the floor. The death-like faint was terrible, but was worse on returning to consciousness. Frantically the poor child clung round the parent's neck—her sobs, her piteous cries, telling har fearful grief, in vain they strove to soothe, to comfort with fondest love. They called him unworthy of her; they said there were truer hearts than his to cherish her. Minna never answered—never raised her flushed face. For an hour her agony continued; then in despair, imploring death to take her, the truth stole from her pallid lips. She had trusted in Henry Northcott's honor to the sacrifice of her own. When the mother heard, a cry burst from her. Hilda's lips only issued a long, quick gasp. Then, tenderly kissing her sister's cheek, she got up and quitted the little parlor. "Better leave them together," she thought. "It will make her speak more freely." Ascending to her room, she opened the window and looked out seaward. Her features seemed chiseled in stone. What a grand face it was. how resolute—how terrible Not a ship broke the line of the horizon ; but she knew which way his had gone.— Her lips were mute as she gazed, but her soul took a vow that threatened great danger to Henry Northcott, did he ever again visit that place. When she went down stairs there ap• pearcd little alteration in her, save that she was even kinder to Minna than usual. She made no reference to the sad event, but was the support of both mother and sister. A close observer, however, might have noticed her peculiar look, a tightness of' the lip, and a strangeness in her very calm. Two words explained the matter —"L wait." Months rolled on and the shadow of death was on the cottage threshhold. It had been creeping "like a guilty thief," nearer and nearer, and now it had entered On the bed, past all suffering, icy pretty, trusting Minna. At her side a tender flower, whose life had been one soft, brief' sigh. On her knees, the bereaved mother pas• sionately wept, breathing prayers for her child, blending with curses on him her wrong doer. At a short distance was Hilda. She knelt her elbows on the scat of a chair, her face bowed on her hands, her loosened hair, black as night, falling around her. She had wept at first, then prayed; then the cause had recurred to her, and the fountain of her tears drying up. sloe, too, had cursed Henry Northcottl The time stole on in the darkened cot• tage, shared by silence so still, a grief so bitter. Neighbors had come, offering help and condolence, but had retired, feeling their presence was an intrusion. As the night closed, the dark black clouds, long accumulating, flew upward, obscu ring the heavens, while the fitful gusts of wind gathered together, and broke in roars like artillery. It promised to be a fearful night. In Hilda's ears rang Captain Northcott's song, "Though storms are sudden and waters deep." It was in her ears when the minute gun boomed forth—no rare sound on that coast. Again it sounded. She heard the fish ers hurrying to the shore to help. On such occasions her place was over there, and not in the house. Now she did not move. The thought of her dead sister robbed her cf interest in others. _ Suddenly, those words ringing in her ears, an idea occurred to her. Rising, she glanced at her mother, threw her cloak about her, and, unheard, passed from the cottage. A fearful but magnificent scene disclosed itself. Rifts of ragged clouds spanned the heavens, through which the moon occa sionally shone in brightness. The sea broke on the shore with deafening roar, making the bravest heart tremble. On the high est headland, standing out against the sky, were grouped the eager fishers. On the billows was a ship, rolling, toss ing, pitching—a wreck that soon must be swept into annihilation. As Hilda proceeded towards the former, a rocket rusher' through the air to the ship. They were seeking to communicate with her. Would they succeed ? Yes, the rope was caught and secured, and the apparatus was already at - work when Hilda arrived. It was an anxious, a bustling scene. She took no part in it, however, but stood aside. First came the passengers—a few scared women and terrified men. Then followed the crew, hardy fellows, used to front death, and with faces not unfamiliar to some on the Island. "Why, cried a fisher to one, "you are Jack Armstrong ?" Then added interrog atively, receiving an affirmative, "Yonder ship is the Cassandra ?" 'Yes, Commander Henry Northcott," was the reply. At that name Hilda started, and quickly drew nearer. "Is he aboard ?" "Yes; he won't leave the ship until the last. See, he is coming now." The moon had broken forth, and showed a man coming forth with difficulty. Every eye was bent on him. He had reached half way, when swiftly stepping forward, ere her intent could be divined, Hilda seized a sharp knife from the ground, and with all her force severed the rope. It was done in a minute. There was a shout, a cry, and Henry Northcott sank in the waves. Horrified, maddened, furious, the crew, with a yell, turned upon her.. They would have torn her to pieces had she displayed fear, but her calm, undaunted bearing made them fall back from amazement— wonder. "Fiend!" cried boatswain, "why did you do this ?" "Come and see," she said. "You shall know the reason ; then applaud or blame. Come !" Swiftly, unchecked, she passed through the startled group toward the cottage.— Daunted, curious, several followed. She entered, bidding them to do so. They obeyed, and the little room was filled by the silent, awed group, who soon perceived in whose grim presence they stood. Approaching. the bed, Hilda drew back the sheet that covered the young mother and child. "See," she exclaimed, regarding the others fiercely, "do you blame after look ing on this sad sight—this death by your captain's hands ? As he is the sea's victim, this poor child was his. But she is avenged !" Then the feverish madness within her died out. Dropping on her knees, bury ing her face in the bed clothes, she sobbed forth, "Oh Minna, my sister, my poor, dear love !" * * * * When the humble funeral procession of Minna Thurlwyn, three days after, was wending its way along the beach to its final resting place, turning a rock, it came upon the body of a man, cast up by the sea. It was Captain Northcott's. Instinctively the bearers stopped. Rais ing her eyes to know why, Ililda saw the cause. Stepping near, she gazed coldly, pitilessly down upon him who had wronged her she had so loved. As she did so, the glitter of something on the dead man's bosom caught her attention. Stooping, she examined it. It was a miniature—that of a woman fair and young ; not Minna's, for beneath was the name Janet. Plucking it from the guard that held it, Hilda crushed it with her heel into the sand ; then, re suming her place, motioned the procession to proceed. "I have avenged them both," she mur mured, "my Miuna !" And covering her face, she wept, Puling for the The Coming Wife. She's a little bit of a woman, all patience and sunshine, and I'd spoil the best silk hat that money could buy for the privilege of lending her my umbrella in a rain storm. She's married and she's got an old rhi noceros of a husband. Ile makes it a practice to come home tight at 11 o'clock every other night, and has for years, and he can't remember that she ever gave him a cross word about it. When he falls into the hall she is waiting to close the door and help him back to the sitting room, where a good fire awaits him. She draws off his boots, unbuttons his collar, helps him off with his coat, and all the time she is saying : "Poor Henry' how sorry I am that you had this attack of vertigo! I'm afraid that you will be found dead by the roadside some night." "Whazzer mean by verzhigo !" lie growls ; but she helps him off with his vest and pleasantly continues : "I'm so glad you got home all right. I hope the day will come when you can pass more of your time at home. It is dread ful how your business drives you." "Whaz bizshness—whnz yer talking 'bout ?" he replies. "Poor one—how hot your head is !" she continues, and presently he breaks down and exclaims : "Yez, zur—zit's a 'orse—wearing zelr out fhast's can—wishzi was dead I" Next morning she never refers to the subject, but pleasantly inquires how lie slept, and ii' his mind is clear. His boots may be missing and he yells out : "When thunder's my boots!" Right here, my dear !" she replies. and she. hands them out, all nicely blacked up. If she wants a dress, or a hat, or a cloak, and he yells out that household expenses are citing him up. she never "sasses" him back, nor tells him that she could have married a Congressman, nor declares that she will write to her mother and tell her just how it is. "That's so, my dear—times are hard," she says, and she gets up just as good a dinner as if he had left her fifty dollars. He may come home tight at supper time, but she is not shocked. She remarks that it is an unexpected pleasure to have him home so early, and she pretends not to notice his stupid look. He sees three chairs where there is but one, and in try ing to sit down he strikes the floor like the fall of a derrick. "Whazzar jaw that chair 'way for ?" he yells, and she replies : "It's that hole in the carpet—l knew you would stumble !" and she helps him up and brings him a strong cup of tea. They do not keep a servant and when cold weather come she never thought of planking herself down in a chair opposite him and saying : "Now, then, you'll either get up and light the fires or there won't be any light ed—mark that, old baldhead !" No, she didn't resort to any such base and tyrannical measures. When daylight comes she slips out of bed, makes two fires, warms his socks, and then, bending over him, she whispers : "Arise, darling, and greet the festive morn !" He's sick sometimes, and Iv'e known that woman to coax him for two straight hours to take the doctor's medicine, turn over his pillow twenty-two times, keep a wet cloth on his head, pare his corn down, and then wish that she had a quail to make him some soup. When he gets into a fight down town and comes home with his ear bitten up and his nose pointitr , to the northeast she inquires how the horse happened to run away with him, and she says she is so thankful that he wasn't killed. She has an excuse for everything, and she never admits that any one but herself is to blame about anything. Lor' bless her— I hope she'll slip into Heaven and never be asked a question. A BeautifurSentiment. Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river. Our boat first glides down the narrow channel through the playful murmurings of the little brook and the winding of the grassy boarders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads ; the flowers on the brink seem to offer themselves to our young hands, we are happy in hope and grasp eagerly at the beauties around us ; but the stream hur ries on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along a deeper and wider flood, amid objects more striking and magnificent. We are animated at the moving picture of enjoy ment and industry passing around us—are excited at some short lived disappoint ment. The stream bears us on, and our joys and griefs are left behind us. We may be shipwrecked—we cannot be delay ed;—whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to its home till the roar of the ocean is in our ears and the tossing of the waves is beneath our feet, and the land les tens from our eyes, and the floods are lifted up around us, and we take leave of earth and its inhabitants, until of our further voyage there is no witness save the Infinite and Eternal. A YOUNG lady, the other day, in course of a lecture, said : "Get married young man, and be quick about it too. Don't wait for the millennium hoping that the girls will turn to angels before you would trust yourself to one of them. A pretty thing you would be along side of an angel, wouldn't you, you brute ?" Nest Hiding. The little 5 , of rf Lind rising. in the South Seas called Ysabel Isle is divided among several savage tribes that are ecn tinually at war with each other. A terri ble massacre oecurring in a portion of the island named Mahaga. the sufferers adopt ed, as a means of defense against future surprises of a similarly unpleasant nature. the custom of sleepirr , in houses built in high trees, though living by day in the ordinary open bamboo huts. When the Rev. Coleridge Paterson. Bishop of the Melanesian Islands, visited Maha! , a, he was very curious to inspect these human nests in the summits of the loftiest palms- They were situated in a swamp, that for general safety were surrounried by a strong wall. The lower boughs of the trees se lected for habitation had been lopped off, leaving only the highest as a platform for the houses. A plumbline let down from the veranda of one of these houses to the ground showed the distance to be 94 feet. The ladders leading up to the houses were planted upon the to? of the wall.— They consisted of a ba.aboo pole in tke centre, to which cross pieces about two feet long were lashed by vines. To steady these, and also to hold on by, there were double sets of pliant vine stems stretched along the whole lenzth. °tie ladder was found to measure 60 feet. Another of 50 feet had forty-two rounds or ero.s pieces, at unequal distances apart rp and down these dizzy ladders the native men, women, and children ran like monk- eys, never using their hands. but trusting entirely to the sure planting of their feet. At first the Bishop dared not attempt an ascent, and while he stoat won4lering at the fearlessness of the climbers. he saw a woman go up with a heavy burden on her back as it' it were the easiest thing in the world, and not once staying herself with her hands. A sailor is the company of the Bishop who was perfectly at home in the shrouds of a ship ascended one of the lad• tiers, and when be came down confes4e,l : "I was so afraid my legs shook. Going aloft is nothing to it." At another time the Bishop managed to reach one of the arboreal huts. Ile found it in an in..x pressibly filthy condition. The floor was made of matted bamboo, and the roof and sides were of palm-leaf thatch. The roof was low, and there were no apertures for air and light. Everything was grimy with soot and dirt. while the noise of squalling babies, the singing and scolding of women and the chatter of all, the natives together make the place a very pandemonium. A brief stay in the wonderful nest convinced the Bishop that it was much more com fortable to sleep in a hut on the ground. where during the night the singing and squalling of women and babies above him sounded as if they were in the clouts. A hluscclar Parson. A Fort Laramie, Wyoming letter says : " I saw one of those desperadoes get s nice dose of quiet courage and stern will. At this time, 1867.1 had occasion t•) go down the road, and had to wait rpr the train. My abiding place was one of those dining tents, where I had to take nr-als in the meantime. Among the several persons seated around, ono evidently was very raw. his dress was semi•clerical, and as be held forth in constrained manner about "the terrible sin" and "Babylonish Chey enne," the old-timers within hearing en joyed. in an uncouth way, poking small chaff at him. In the midst of one of his tirades against "this sink-hole of perdi tion" a man came into the tent, walked up to the bar and demanded a drink. It seems fur some reason be had been refused before. Suddenly throwing his hand un der his coat he drew a six-shooter. and half facing the crowd and the bar-keeper. he said "By--. I'm going to have a drink right here, or I'll turn loose :" r meaning to shoot). To tell the truth most of those terrible old-timers broke for the door, the bar keeper sunk under the counter, and death to some one seemed imminent. I confess to a cold sensation down my hack, and thought of several debts that different par ties owed me, and wondered it' I should ever be paid; the green field in which I had sported as a child rose before me vividly ; I remembered one Sunday. having played off sick, I went down to the foot. Mill street, and went swimming. I felt sorry for the Frogtown boy who licked me once. But what a sight. That parson, his tall. slim form seems to grow taller as, in a quiet way, he strides up to the death deal ing cuss with the pistol. lie wrenches that weapon from this ter ror ; grasps him by the throat, fairly lifting him from his feet, his protruJing tongue and blackening face show the powerful grip of the parson's hand, and. to make the picture complete, says in ordinary tones, "My friend, I have observed you before to day trouble the landlord of this tavern ; I am of' opinion that you are entirely in the wrong. place. The landlord appears 1) think you have had a sufficienci of intoxi cating liquor. Now, observe, if yon create any further disturbance, I will jerk thee gullet out of you." And he literally threw him headlong out of the door. Subsequently the parson held forth on the sins and iniquities of Chey enne, and was listened to respectfully by the subdued old sinners. I was constrain ed to seek a favorable opportunity to a.. , k the parson where he learned that grip. "Oh," said he, "I used to keep a tav ern down East, that's where I g.. 4 fay hand in." A MOTHER'S LovE.—But there i 4 a love which neglect cannot weaken, which injury cannot destroy. and which even jealousy cannot distinguish. It is the pure, the holy. the enduring love of a mother. It is as gentle as the breeze of evening, firm as the oak, and ceases only when life's last gleam goes out in death. Durinz all the vicissitudes of the changing world, in sickness or in sorrow, in life or in death, in childhood's halcyon days. in youth's un troubled hour, or in manhood's vigorous prime, the mother clings with the same unwearied affection to her child. It is the same amid the snows and frosts of Siberia, the temperate regions of our own lair land. oramid the arid sands of Africa. WHILE riding in a stage coach from Kinderhook to Albany, N. Y.. msnyyears since, John Van Buren, who was smoking. asked a stranger in the stage if smoking was agreeable to him. The stranger an swered, "Yes, it is agreeable. Smoke away.
