FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1880.
Apple Blossoms.
BY E. L. OGDEN.
Christian Union.
One Monday morning in May when Mr.
Caster, of the law firm of Caster & Brush,
entered his office he found en his desk a
bunch of fraqrant white flowers with that
delicate flush at the heart that makes ap
ple blossoms se irresistible.
"Apple blossoms, sir," his clerk ex
plaiued. "I spent Sunday in the country,
and brought them down, thinking you
might like te see some."'
Mr. Caster's preoccupied face lighted
up with pleasure. " Thank you, Mr.
Clark," he said, " Get some water, will
you, Jehn ? "We must keep them as fresh
as we can. I shall want te take 'some
home te my wife te-night. There, that
leeks quite country like, doesn't it,
Clark ?" arranging the blossoms te advan
tage against the law books and falling
back a little te leek at the ell'ect.
Clark smiled, and Mr.Caster went te
work at his law cases. But something
was the matter with him. His thoughts
would go wandering off te the green
meadow by the side of the river where
Clark told him he had broken the fragrant
branch.
"I wonder," he soliloquized, "whether
it is anything like that meadow where
pshaw ! what am I thinking of ! In a case
of ejectment wonder if I ceuldsing 'An
uie Laurie ;' used te knew that tune."
And he hummed softly te himself :
" Gave me her premise true. "
just as the deer was thrown violently open
and Jehn Edsen, the most quarrelsome
man in New Yerk, as his friends and ene
mies both agreed, burst in.
"What's the matter new, Mr. Edsen?"
asked Mr. Caster, rising te offer li - client
a scat.
" Matter? Matter enough sir ! But if he
thinksj.'m going te t-iibniit te be robbed
by his knavery ue'll find himself very
much mistaken 1 My brother, sir, my
own brother think of that, sir ! is trying
te cheat me out of my share of our pater
nal .property. I want you te take steps
immediately te step his proceeding. He
threatens te bring in a bill airainst the es
tate that will swallow up every cent but
what's that ? Apple blossoms ! Where
did you get these ? "
"Mr. Clark brought them down this
morning. Sweet, though rather out of
place in a lawyer's eiBcc, don't you
think?"
"I don't knew," said Mr. Edsen,
thoughtfully, taking up the tumbler and
smelling the fragrant things. "Where
did these grew?"
"Up in a little country village in Con
necticut;. Clark is from the country, you
knew, and I should think from his descrip
tions it's quite a pretty place. Green
meadows and i ivcr, you knew, and all that
sort of thing. But what de you want me
te de?"
" Wait a minute, can't you ?" said Mr.
Edsen, impatiently. "Yeu lawyers aic
always in such a tearing huny."
Mr. Caster raised his eye-brews but
made no verbal answer te this rather in
consistent remark, while Mr. Edsen leaned
back in Ins chair and looked at the apple
blossoms. In a minute he started up and
brushed his hand aciess his eyes.
"It makes me think of old times," he
said. "I nearly broke my neck ence
climbing an old apple tree for blossoms
like that te give Lucy Baird, the prettiest
girl in school. I fell from the top branch
and my brother I never had but one, sir
picked me up and carried me home, lie
was teal geed te mc all the long time I
was sick, tee. I think he'd have died for
mc then, and just te think that new we
should be quarreling ever a few hundred
dollars ! Caster, you needn't de anything
about this matter -just yet, at least. I I
guess I'll go see him. And say" rather
shyly "you couldn't spare me a little
twig with a few of these blossoms en it,
could you ?"
Mr. Caster willingly broke off a branch
and handed it te him, but he watched Mr.
Edsen's departure with a comical smile en
his countenance.
" Theso apple blossoms are doing sad
work in this office," he said laughingly te
Clark. "I've lest one premising case
through them already, and as for keeping
my own mind en anything legal it's an ut
ter impossibility. It's evident te my mind
that law and flowers were never meant te
go together. I think I'll take them home
te my wife before they de any mere mis
chief." But as he turned te go out of the office
deer he saw the office boy eying his bunch
wistfully.
" Here, Jehn, would you like a spray ?"
he asked kindly and without waiting for
the eager answer he saw en the boy's lips
he tossed him one. Then he ran down the
office-steps humming again the tune that
had haunted him that morning. He looked
se pleasant as he steed at the street cor
ner waiting for his car that a ragged little
girl who saw him ventured te ask :
" Please, mister, what is them posies?"
" Apple blossoms."
" Docs they grew en trees that has ap
ples en?"
"Yes."
"Oh my? wouldn't I like te sec 'em
once ? Say. mister, would yc give me a
little one !"
" Yes. Here, child," breaking off an
other little branch and giving it te her.
lie watched her from the car window take
off her old hat and stew away her ticasurc
in it, and then, clasping it close te her
breast, set off en a run down te .rtl the
lower part of the city.
When he reached his home and gave the
branch te his wife her faded, peevish face
relaxed into a smile that was almost sweet
as she took them from his hand.
" Apple blossoms !" she said. " Hew
beautiful they are ! De you remember,
Daniel, the apple blossoms that we gather
ed thirty years age ?" and in another min
ute he and she together were recalling old
times and associations, until the years
that lay between their apple blossom times
and new had dropped away, and the light
and glory of past days once mere shed it
self upon the gray hairs of the husband
and the faded cheek of the wife.
The ragged little girl meanwhile ran en
for quite a little way till she came te
one of these narrow, filthy courts crowded
with tenement houses and steaming with
horrible odors in the warm J lay sunshine.
She entered one of these tenement houses
and ran lightly up the steps te her especial
domain, a little room where, besides her
self, only Biddy Macarthy with her hus
band and baby lived. Biddy was sitting
near the window reckiug the baby in her
arms when the child entered.
"Whist, Meg! The baby's awful
sick !"
"Don't he get any better, Biddy?"
asked Meg, trecping softly te her side.
" Ne, he don't. Oh, if I only had him
home in the green fields of euld Ireland
he'd be well entirely ; but hew can he
breathe in this shti fling room ? "
"Loek here, Biddy. See what I've
get." And Meg took off her hat and
showed the precious spray of apple blos
soms. " De ye think that came from the
green fields ye spoke about ? "
Biddy gazed at it in wonder and delight.
" Oh, the purty things !" she exclaimed.
"It's just the picture of these I've seen
many's the time growing in the orchards
in the euld country. Le' me take it,
Meg. "
She held it close te her face and drank
in the fresh, sweet perfume eajrerly. Then
she put it down te the baby, and he feebly
smiled.
"See !" cried Biddy. "He knows the
swate things! He'll get better new.
Take it away and put it in jvater, Meg, and
set it where he can see it."
Meg ran en and seen returned with an
old blacking bottle full of water, into
which she stuck the precious twig. Then
she sat down te leek at it and listen te
Biddy's tales of the "euld country," till
night came, and she had te go te bed, but
she slept with one hand en the bottle in
which her treasure was.
About midnight she was reused from
strange dreams of great forests of beauti
ful posies like hers by a shrill cry of terror
and agony.
She started up calling "Biddy ! Biddy !
what is it ?" and was answered by the cry,
"Oh, my baby, my baby! My baby's
dead !" and the low mean of anguish from
the stricken mother. She did the best she
could te comfort her, but what could a
child de for a broken heart ?
The next day the body was ready for the
funeral. The mother sat en the fleer be
side the little pine coffin in stony despair
when Meg crept up softly and laid her
cherished branch, new reduced te two
faded blossoms and one just bursting pink
bud, in the baby's hand. Biddy looked
up and burst into tears. " Ged bless you,
Meg," she sobbed. " Shure, there's let's
of blossoms where he is new, the darlint,
but it's I that's glad te see these purty
posies in his little hand. Oh, my baby !
my baby !"
Mr. Edsen, for his part, went down te
his brother's office and entered with a
little hesitation. The brother, a man elder
than Edsen, with ene of these stern, self
repressed faces which say as plainly as
words could, "I've had a hard life and 1
don't care a cent about you. I'll have
what I can get, whether you suffer or net,"
started as Edsen came in. His eyes rested
an instant longingly en the apple-blossoms
; but the next moment he drew back,
asking, coldly, "Did you wish te see me?"
"Yes, Geerge," auswered Edsen, finger
ing the flowers awkwardly, " I came te see
about that matter that that property,
you knew. It's a pity we should quarrel
about it and antl well, I don't care.
You're the eldest and had the hardest row
te hoc always, and I guess likely there was
fully my share spent en me wlic I was in
college ; and see here, old fellow, I'll de
whatever you say if you'll speak te your
lawyer and send him up te my office."
There was a moment's silence, and the
younger Edsen, looking down, saw it is
brother put his hand te his threat as if he
wcrc choking. The next moment the
elder spoke almost as awkwardly as his
brother had done.
"It wasn't the money I cared for, but
but I wanted the old place. I well, I
had some associations with it."
The younger brother started. Associa
tions? What associations of pleasure could
Geerge have with the old place? There
weie none, thcie could Iks none except
theso with Lucy Baiid, who had been for
one short year his own wife, new laid
away in Greenwood. He sprang forward,
"Geerge, did you care for her? Yeu could
have wen her if you had tried, and you
knew it. She cared for me lirst because I
was your brother. Did de you mean te
say you gave up the chance of winning
her ferme?"
Fer a minute or two the Edsons might
as well have been a couple of Frenchmen
meeting after a long seperatien. The elder
was the first te recover himself.
"There, there Jehn," he said, in exactly
the same way he used te speak when they
wcrc boys together, "I've been hard, but
you sec I never had a wife te soften me,
and I intended te pay you for your share
of the property at first, but well, it's no
use talking it ever. Of course you didn't
knew, but I kept thinking you might have
known if you wanted te. But there,
never mind that new. Did you knew that
Midland bends are going up ? I'll make a
geed thing out of them yet."
"I can't stay," answered Edsen, open
ing the deer, "but I'll see you again.
Come up te dinner with me, won't you ?"
"I will," answered his brother, heart
ily, and with a ceidial hand-shake they
parted.
The younger brother went straight
home and put the precious branch of apple
blossoms, which had been a divining-red
te him, showing him where the richest
treasure of a brother's love lay hidden,
into a glass and set it where he could sec
it often. The elder as he turned te his desk
again saw three petals lying en the fleer
He hesitated a moment, and then steeped
and quickly gathering them up laid them
revciently in his pockctbeok.

Stand by the Sparrows.
Gennantewn Telegraph.
A writer in a New Yerk magazine evi
dently one of the very knowing fellows who
are always teaching the farmer and ethers
things of which they themselves arc pro
foundly ignorant informs us that while
the house sparrow is especially adapted te
the cities in eating-up all the insects upon
the ornamental trees, they won't de at all
in the country, asfriiit-greicers well knew,
who badly wants the law repealed in order
that these fruit-destroyers may be ex
terminated by the shot-gun, &c. Of course
they will have no apjetite for insects in the
country their natures change as seen as
they leave the city and they live altogether
upon the fruits of the garden ! Probably
we knew as much about this sparrow as
these who se learnedly write about them,
and we can say and repeat that though
they arc always present in our own gar
den, among the fruit at all stages, yet
with the most careful observing we have
never seen or known them te touch any
kind of fruit whatever. They eat insects
only, and they arc the most industrious
and efficient insect-destroyers we have
better than any native bird. It is true,
as we have said mere than ence already,
that before the appearance of insects they
will subsist upon vegetable matter and this
feed maybe the blades of grass, any win
ter garden crop, the tender foliage upon
trees, &c, but that is the extent of their
offending. The charge that they some
times eat the young fruit-buds is net sus
tained. They might de se if there was
nothing they liked better, and this is the
first sprouts of the leaf, which makes its
appearance before the bloom, 'when vege
table matter is very scarce. Pear blossoms
arc among the first te make their appear
ance, and our crop last year after, a very
severe winter, was the most abundant and
finest we ever saw, probably from the fact
that the sparrow completely cleared the
early buds from the many insects which
arc invariable te be found about them.
