Or f! T MM THE GltUMBLEfi. The well known story of tlio two boys who. under tho cognomen of "Eyes nnd No es," went out for a walk, in which tho ono saw notliins worthy of record, whilo tho other saw a great deal both to nmuso una interest him, is n good deal older than Sand ford and Morton, where most of us read it in tho old clays of long ago. No doubt, "it. Is," aa wo say, "as old ns the hills" though WI30 men have not yet quito settled how old thoy are and as true ns such proverbs usually aro. For, as a general rule, the eyo sees only what it wishes to see or cares to seo; and there aro "none bo blind as those Who won t see." and then, nerversolv enough, try to comfort themselves with another old sayins, "What the eyo fcees not, the heart doesn't crave." 1 had been reading an old volume of Danish proverbs about Eye and No Eyes, as It chanced, one day In October, juM beforo setting out for a ramble tiuougli tlie woods: and as I wandered on down one of tho cnissv roads I mhI. dnnly camo upon a couple of squirrels at Flay a downright gamo of frisking romp. Tho cariiet under mv feet was Golden and red, purple and brown, Lightly the woodland leavoa came down. Fluttering heruaml whirling there All in the hazy, ambient air; so that not a footfall could bo heard, und I could watch the two little merry sprites uy sunpiy getting under the boughs of n great copper beech and standing still, without a chance of detection. It was a day of dead sultry calm; and as 1 watched nnd listened, thero fell on tno an air of intense stillness nnd silence that seemed to (111 nl the wood. Hight nnd left of mo. on every side, were dense massesof trees tall feathery silver birch: broad spreading beeches, with smooth, solemn, niassivo trunks; sturdy knotted yews, looking ns if thoy had stood there for centuries: strong mighty oaks, with gnarled nnd twisted stoma that stretched across tha winding pathway, as if on guard over the quiet domain. Some of them I knew well, for I had seen them in all weathers; nnd again and again found shelter from rain or sun under their spreading boughs. Thoy seemed Uko old friends, who betray no trust; oven in winter stanch and true, aa If standing and waiting in patience nnd in hope for tho far off but sure davs of spring, the tiino of now life nnd light; living and dying without suffering or self reproach; and "gifted with the divine gift of silenco," which, according to a modern sage, is tho most eloquent of all speech, for thoso who can hear it, when "The Book of Nature getteth short of leaves." But howovcr "golden" such silence may be, and however divlno tho prophet of Cheyno Row, this one ot woodland volces'was, like all other mortal dreams, brought suddenly to an end. All at once, not a hundred yards away, there came pounding "along over the dead loaves a little old man in a long gray coat; with his hat pulled down over his eyes, and a stout ash plant in Ids hand, with which ho slashed vigorously right nud left among tho briers and nettles. It was old Elzie Bartle, a strango odd creature, who lived tn a lonely cottage at the end of tho vlllago, and spent most of his timo in minding other people's business. Business of his own he seemed to have none; nnd tho neighbors knew no more as"to who or what he was than they did when ho camo among them, a stranger, twenty years ago. Ho had money enough to pay his way and keep out of debt: was without encumbrances of any kind, and seemed to have neither relatives nor friends that over cared to write to or visit him. Jacob, the postman, affirms to this day that no letter over came to him by post but a circular from tho surveyor of taxes at the county town. Tho moment 1 set eyes on him in the wqod I went back to my book of Danish proverbs, und to one particular linu therein, which said: "Some thereurc whoseo 111, nnd wouldn't mind seeing worse;" and thero beforo me was the very man whom the words fitted to a T. "Well, squire," taid tho old man, as he came up. "here's u day for October! A regular, sweltering, moldy sort of day, I call it: enough to breed a fever all over the place. No wonder there's two mora cases of measles down at tho keep er's; not tho two boys that got bitten by tho sheep dog last week, but girls this timo; a poor, sickly Jot! and no wonder, with such n mother." "Such n mother?" said I. "Why, what's tho matter with tho mother? as clean, tidy, hard working a woman as you'll find in u day's march." "NotiHcnso, squire nou-bcnse! They bell gin, now, up at. Mitrridges the draper, anil if Mrs. Gaiters isn't one of his best customers, my tiaiuo isn't Bartle. No, no; I know what I know, squire, though I don't want it to go any further." "You had better not let It go ns far ns her husband's cars, Elzie, or ho might tumblo you Intq,tho horso pond and not help you out again. It's deep, Buttle, and muddy too.' "No doubt, squire, do doubt; bat, as I was saying whn yon interrupted mo, I know what I know , though you needn't let it go uny further. Mrs. Oalters is a good customer at Murridge's, and it was only yesterday I saw her coming out of his shop with a round bundle under her arm that looked as much like a bottlo as it could, as I said to Jane Hipper, when I saw her going down tho street. And that reminds mo, squlro, pf tho nasty drain at tho corner. They've got it open again, and I'vo not met with a worso stench for weeks until just nowi beforo J saw you, camo upon a polecat or p, weasel or something pf tho sort, lying dead in the middle of tho path, and enough, to poison tho whalo wood." 'Well, Elzie," said I, "they must open tho drain to clear It out; nnd as for the polecat, he must dlo somowhere, and as he has got no relations to bury hhu ho must He thero until the ants pick his bones clean for him. But never mind tho drains or polecats this glorious after noon. Come here, man, and look down that narrow green path, right on past the great clump of whlto clematis, up to where the sunshine is Etreaming through tho black evergreen oak, and lighting up tho copper beech, and tho cluster of red berries on tho spindle tree, as if they wero on fire." 'Yes, yes," replied the old man; "I see It. And talking of fire, it was just at this very corner tliat I caught two of Harris' boys making a fire of bits of furzo and a brokon hurdle, enough to set the whole copo in a blaze. There, you can see tho ashes of It now; and there's a page out of a spelling book, too, as I live torn out of one of the school books, I'll wager the mischievous young imtekeel Bat it' all the 4m when ever you go; nothing but wn&to and ex travagance. All tho laborer crying out about low wages nnd starvation times; and if you belluve me, when I went in to llobbs' cottago , last Thursday nt 5 o'clock, just to lull him that ono of his boys had been caught with his pocl.ets fuil in Jnckson's orchard, thero they were, the wholo seven of 'cm, eating hot buttered toast! 'You seem to lo enjoy ing yourselves,' said I, 'and butter nt one nnd three!' And if you bellovo mo, squire, thoy all burst out laughing nt uusi nun -uigiu you are, nartle,' says oiu uouus, with His mouth full of toast 'right you are; and why shouldn't we! will ce have a piece?' 'No,' said I; 'I can't afford to cat melted butter in theso times: nml if your boy isn't laid up to-morrow, after gorging Himself with sour apples, lot me know.' 'Well, Bartle, wo'H be sure to let you know; und we'll tell o.ld Bolus to send in Iii3 bill to you.' There, Bquire. that's the way they waste their monev. and if that boy doesn't get n month on the ircadmill beforo long my namo isn't uarrie, tliat a all. uy tins time wo had got to the edgo of tho wood and wero turning down Into tho lane, and nnd as I had more than enough of the old grumbler. I made up my mind to get iiu or turn. "UockI night, Bartle,' saiu l "good night, ror God's sake, don't bother yourself any more about old Hobbs and his boys. Ho is a hard working, steady fellow enough, and good to his wife too. And ns for tho apples, tho boy only cot a counlo after au so oacuson told mo and u- eood rope's ending into tho bargain." And so, at last, nftcr a final grumble about Hobbs' mother-in-law and n pair of shogs which sho had got at Murridge's and never paid tof, wo shook hands and parted; ho across tho meadow down to his own cottage; and 1 sauntering on into me village. Anu licro 1 fell in with an other of our old men, of a totally differ ent look, manner and speech Jim Sam son the blacksmith: a eturdy, well built fellow of 00, with a sun burnt, smutty face,.and a pair of sharp gray eyes that brimmed over with fun. His day's work was over; he had shut up his forgo and was just going homo to tea. "Sarvant, bir," 6ays Samson. "Hope you'ro pretty well, sir, after n dose of Elzie? I boo you a-comlng down the copse together, and I says to myself: 'Squire's a-catchin' of it now ntid no mktako.' Old Bartle's bin on tho ram page all the maniing nnd ready to bust about that thero drain up street." "Well, Samson,' said r, "I've had a doso this timo, and a good one, too." "Knowcd you had, squire, the minute I saw your face. Why, bliss "ce, flesh and blood can't stand it. It's my belief, squire, that thero old chap 'havo a-swal-lowed tho east wind,' and it haven't agreed with un. Ho'vo n-got tho best eyo for dirt of any chap I over set eyes on." "Swallowed tho east wind?" said 1. "Why so, Samson?" "Why, how clso could ho go on as he do? From marnlng to night, from ono week's end to another, it's nothing but grumble, fidget and growl. First, it's tho dreadful accidents, tho fires, and the murders; then it's tho fever und tho riots in Ireland; the paupers, tlio jails', and the strikes. Everything's going wrong, and thero's no good nows nnywhero. Why, bless 'ce, ho como into my forgo tlio other marning, and what's ho do but begin foraging about among my tools and putting 'em to rights; making 'cm tidy, ho says, and upsetting thing3 to that degree that overy bit o' lire went out of tho coals nnd put mo all of n cold sweat. 'Bo off, Bartlol' I says tit last. 'Get away out into tho. sunshino there and tako a good drink o' that, and bee if you can't clear all them cobwebs out of your brains.' And witli that, squire, away ho goes out of tho place liko a mud March have!" "Well done, Samson!" said I, "well done! If ho would but tako your advice, that wretched old croaker would bo a different man in ajnonth, instead of a nuisance to himself "and all his neighbors. Good night, Samson. How'b tho wind?" "West, sir west to everybody in tho placo but old Bartle. But ho keep3 his own weathercock, he do, and It's nothiti' but 'east by northeast,' and dirty weath er. It's a pity 6uch people was over born," As I wended my way homo through tho wood and watched the soft mellow sunshino glinting down among tho tall trunks of ruddy beech, and lighting up tho green pathwuys with patches of golden splendor, It seemed a pity indeed that such miserable failures ns old El.io should exist to mar tho Jieauty and peaco of f ho whole scene. Tho smith's words wero true words; it does seem a mistake that "such peoplo over was born." Perhaps, in his heart that miserable old bachelor himself In clines to tho samo way of thinking at times, and he, too, imagines that tho world would havo been better without him.
