She thought it uttered with ntent to smart; But yet her own hand held the venomed dart That pierced, unwittingly, her shieldiess heart, And, like some weary, nestless bird, In solitude I sit and weep apart. 'Twas but a thoughtless line ! She deemed it writ with harsh iroaie pen ; Yet could she but have known my soul-thoughts when I wrote the fatal w rds, I know that then her love would burn as bright as mine. Alas! how filmed and narrow mortal ken ! 'Twas but a simple jest! She fancied it possessed of subtle stings, Forgetting all my heart's sweet whisperings', Her love, if e'er it lived, took rapiu wings : And straightway then within her breast Were dried affection's thirst-appeasing springs. 'Twas she that erred ! and tho' My heart in bitterness doth weep and bleed;— Tho', like some storai-swayed, solitary reed, Bent low by winter winds that sweep the mead, I fall before the blasts of woe, I ne'er shyl kneel to her, nor, slave-like, plead. Eljt *fory—Etticr. The Pitchr of Cold Wilier. "It is such a pity," said Mrs. Lee, and she turned her eyes from the window. Kate, her little daughter, siood near her looking out upon the road, a small, blue. eyed, cherub-like creature. A man had just passed, and it was of hint the lady said, "It is such a pity." "A greater pity flig his wife and chil dren," replied Mrs. Lee's sister. "Oh. dear It's a pity for all of them," said Mrs. Lee, in quite a troubled voice. •'Why doesn't the man drink cold water when he is dry, and not pour burning liquor down his throat ? I've thought wore than once -of meeting him with a cool glass of water as he came by, hoping he would turn back to his .shop and not keep on to Huber's tavern." "That would be too pointed," said the sister. "It might do rood," Mrs. Le.e vtent on. "Suppose he did feel a little,atihoyed, he would hardly refuse the cool,:'4,ltifik, and once taken he might not f2etAS litrongly drawn toward Huber's tavern•- ¶he rwxt time I saw him coming I'd-eire;th-e-drink again, and with a pleasant, worst.- I could ask about his wife and childien;and§boiv* that I felt interested. I'm sure, sister, good would come of it " The sister did not f',Al so hopeful "It will take more than a glass of water to sat isfy his fiery thirst, and then, you know, that Barclay is easily off:.trided. He would understand just what you meant, I fear, and grow angry and abusive " - don't believe it would make him au gry to offer him a coDi drink of water:" The child, who had been li4tanip*Jdairuk mother and aunt, said this quite earnestly. The two women looked at each other, but did not answer her. Mr. Barclay was a carpenter. lit had been very well off, but would take a glass of liquor now and then. This led him into the company of those who visit taverns,. and by them he, was' often drawn away from shop and home So neglect of bush ness was added to the vice of drinking, and the carpenter's way in the world turn ed downward. Mr. Barclay bad several children. The youngest was nau►ed Fanny, and the was just, four years old. He was very fond of her, and often struggled with his appetite on her account. Many tines had he gone backward and forward before the tavern door, LOVE FOR FANNY PLEADING AGAINST LOVE FOR RUM, and urging him to spend the few peonies in his pact for a toy, or some candies, in stead of beer. For the dreadful thirst for drink has alwa)s got the mastery. Poor man. 011 the morning after Mrs. Lee and her sister were talking about him, it happened that Mr. Barclay was without a penny in his pocket. What was he to do ? Not a single glass of liquor could be had at flu ber's tavern, for he was in debt there, and they had refused to trust him until the old score was paid. But how was he to go through all that day without a drink ? The very thought quickened his craving thirst. lie opened a bureau drawer to get a handkerchief, when something met his eyes that made him pause with a strange expression of face. lie stood gazing with an irresolute air, and then shutting the drawer quickly turned away and walked to the other side of the room. For some time he remained there, his back to the drawer. A bitter struggle was going on in his mind. Alas! be was not strong enough for this conflict. Slowly, step by step, listening, looking just like a thief, Mr. Barclay returned to the bureau, and opened the drawer. What did be bring forth ? It was a lit tle wooden box, only a few inches square; he had made it himself of fine dark wood for his dear little Fanny. The pennies were few, but all Elie had received for many months were in this box. She was saving them to buy a present for her lath cr at Christmas. A desperate look was in Mr. Barclay's face as he clutched the box. Hurriedly he took from his pocket a small screw driver, and in a minute or two the lid was off. Half the pennies were emptied into his pocket, and then the lid replaced and the box returned to the drawer. He had scarcely taken a breath while the box was in his hand. Now he sat down, like one suddenly robbed of strength and panted. .The dark flush went off his face, and he looked pale.and guilty. "Papa !" It was Fanny herself. The loving child came in and put her arms about his neck. He felt as clasped in a vise. It was as much as he could do to keep from pushing her with strong arms away. "Arc you sick, papa ?" The child had caught a glimpse of his pale, disturbed countenance. "I don't feel very well," he answered. His voice had so strange a sound to h' , 3 own ears that it seemed as if some one else were speaking. "I'm so sorry," and Eqnny drew her arms tighter around his neck. kissing him. This was more than the wretched man could bear. Rising hurriedly, and almost shaking off his child, he left the house and started for the shop. He did not go to work immediately, but sat down on his bench. lie had no heart fur work just then. "Oh, Jim Barclay !" he cried out at last, in a tone of mingled shame and an. guish, "that you should come to this !" HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY JUNE 27, 1879. Ile got up and walked about like one bewildered. Just then a man rode up to the door of his shop. "Is that shutter ready for me ?" lie asked. "It will be done to-morrow," answered the carpenter, hardly noticing what was said to him. "Just what you told me yesterday," said the man roughly. "TILE FACT IS, JIM BARCLAY," lie added, "there's no dependence in you any longer, anti I shall take my work somewhere else." He was in no mood to bear patiently a hard speech from any one; so he replied as roughly and the customer rode off in anger. Barclay stood looking after him, his Excitement gradually coolitig until the blindness of passion 1119 gone." "Foolish every way !" he muttered, turning slowly'to Lis wort: "much and ta king a plane. "It wasn't so once. No dependence in Jin4 _Barclay." He was hurt by the accusation. The time was when no mechanic in the neigh borhood could be more depended upon. If Barclay promised a piece of work, it was sure to be ready. Alas how changed! He was just as fair in promise now—just as sincere perhaps when his word was given —but in performance how slow ! Ile would start in earnest every clay and get on very well until the desire for liquor grew strong enough to tempt him off to iluber's tavern for a dfink. After that no one could count on him. Some panels of the unfinished shutter lay on Barclay's bench. He began to grow worried just as it had been with,bitn many times. But where to begin hip 4 . y's work —which of his neglected customers to serve first, he did not know. his hands were unsteady ; a sense of heaviness weigh ed down his limbs; in body and mind lie felt wretched. He thought of Huber's tavern and a refreshing glass. Just .one glass, and his shattered nerves would be steadier for the day's work. Then he thought of the pennies in his pocket, the treasure of his dear little Fanny, stolen from her that morning ; and such shame fell upon his heart that ie sat down on his work bench and groaned in pain. "I'LL GET ONE GLASS," be said, starting up, "for I must have something to put life into me. The pen nies are only borrowed, and I'll return them two for one. Just one glass to make me all right." and off lie started for the tavern. Between the shop and tavern was a pleasant cottage. Mr. Barclay was nearly .opposite this cottage, when out ran a child, biding in her tittle hands a small glass pitcher fall 3l'-water, Ler golden hair toss ing in the (wand.. She was , abpuf Fanny's age; and - beautiful as a cherub. "Won't you have a cool drink, Mr. Bar clay ?" said the child, stopping before him and offering her pitcher, while her earn est, tendei eyes, blue as violets, were lifted to his face. Surprised and startled by this sudden vision of innocence and beauty, Mr. 13,,r Atlay did not hesitatefor an instant, but took the pitcher drank ' almost at a' single draught every drop of the pure cold water. "Thank you, nly dear," dropped fr.na his lips as he handed back the empty ves sel, and then he stoored and kiSsed the child. She did not turn from him -and go back into the house, but stood between him and the tavern, gazing up into his face. lle took a step forward. The child caught his hand. "Oh don't, Mr. Bar clay !" she cried eagerly, and in such a pleading voice that her tones went further down into his heart than human tones had. gone for a long time. "p9,.
