H'l Cherry and llon-hourl. I
Tlic Sntitr-Colorcil Stilt.
I fcarcely know bow It happened, but
n timber must bavo fell and struck niu
on the bead.
The (lrst thltiR that I reallznd after It
was that I was straight and still on
something haul, ami when I tried to
move myself ai d speak I fou.nd It Im
possible, to do to. 1 concluded that I
must he in some very tight place, for I
could not see; Iu fact I soon learned
that, though perfectly conscious, I
could do nothing but bear. A door
opened ami footsteps approached; but 1
lelt a clotl. taken floui my face, and a
voici! which 1 recognized as tint of Mr.
Jones the father Of my wifo tbat was
to Lo bald:
"Ho hasn't changed much," and his
companion whose, voice I knew to he
the village iiudeitaker, HopMus by
name, lightly:
"Hitler looking dead than alive.
How does J, lusha fed about it? Take
on much?"
"Oh no, slio bad her eye on another
fellow mi) how, and a better match tun,
excepting Ibo money part Thuugli I
had nothing against Hun, only ho didn I
know much, and was about the humllest
man 1 ever knew. Such u mouth; why
it ically M-euicd as thuugli ho was no
lug to bwallow knill'.p ale, and all, when
ho opened it at dllltler."
"Well," said thu cheerful volco of
Hopkins, "he'll never open his mouth
again;" and then he proceeded to ineas
me mo tor 1 was dead. 1 had hemd of
uudeitukers who always whistled Joy
1 ul ly when they got u uiiMSUie, liut 1
never Leliuiedll beloie. Hut that man
uclually whistled a subdued dancing-
I tunii while ho mcusurid me, and it
s-vined to mo Ibat to or tlueo icicles
were lolling down my back, to thu niu-
! slu of Id, whistle.
Ills duly doi.o, they covered my facu
again anil lelt mo toiny own lulUclion.,
which were not paitlculaily coiuluiliiig,
iilthuugh 1 had alien licaid It reuiaikcil,
that meditation was good lor thu soul,
and this wa tlio best cliauco 1 over had
ol li) lug it.
An hour must bavo passed when tlio
dour again opened, and two peisuiis
camo wlilspeiing along to whero I lay,
i mid thu votcu ut my promised wilu tell
upon my ear.
"I diead to look at htm, Hub; ho was
so uioitul homely, alive, ho must bo
lrightlul, dead."
1 gr.nnul my teeth in Imagination, as
1 rciucmbcicd how ol tun she uud gone
into taplutes, or pretended to, out my
noble blow, and expiesslvu mouth; and
how she had oi Leli declaied that It 1
weie taken away Hum her she would
suicly pine aiaj unit die.
One ut tht m tuUed thu cloth, and I
kuewthej were Ijoklng at inc. Hob
was liei ti con'd cousin, and 1 knew th.it
ho was that "other lelloiv," wluiii her
lather h.et luuntiolied.
"&UCU.H to mu jou don't feel very
ladabuut Ids d)iug, 'Jtuaha," reinatu
ed Hub, uiedi.itively.
"Well, to tell tht: truth," tahl my
dear betrothed, "I don't eaio vury much
about it. II ho bad lived 1 should havo
man led him, becausu bo is rich and
father wauled u.u to; but I was about
tick of my bargain, for 1 knew 1 should
always bo ashamed ot him, bo looked
so llko a baboon.
"Hut you loved him," remarked Dob.
"Xo, I didn'tl My affections weru
wa-ted long ago upon ono who never
returned my love;" und my fast-fading
Idol sighed heavily.
"They had coven d my faco by tills
