[Kneeling and Rocking the Cradle .J What is the little one thinking about ? Very wonderful things no doubt, Unwritten history ! So full of mystery! Tet he laughs and ories, and eats and drinks, And chuokles and orowß, and nods and winks, As if his head were as full of kinks, And ourious riddles as any sphinx! Warped by cholie and wet by tears, Punctured by pins, and tortured by fears, Our little nephew will lose two years; And he’ll never know, Where the summers go — He need not laugh, for he’ll find it so ! Who can toll what a baby thinks? Who can follow the gossamer links Byjwhioh the mannikin feels his way Out from the shore of the great unknown, Blind, and wailing, and alono, Into the light of day ? Out from the shore of the unknown sea, Tossing in pitiful agony,— Of the unknown sea that reels and rolls, Specked with the barks of little souls — Barks that were launched on the other side, And slipped from Heaven on an ebbing tide ! What does he think of his mother’s eyes? What does ho-think of his mother’s hair? What of the oradle roof that flies Forward and backward through the air? What does he think of his mother’s breast — Bare and beautiful, smooth and white, Seeking it ever with fresh delight— Cup of his life and couch of his rest! What does he think when her quick embraoo Presses her hand and buries her face, Deep where tho heart-throbs sink and swell With a tenderness she can never tell, Though she murmur the words Of ali the birds— Words she has learned to murmur well ? Now he thinks he’ll go to sleep 1 I oan see the shadow creep Over his eyes in soft eclipse, Over his brow, and over his lips, Out to his little finger-tips! Softly sinking, down he goes! Down he goes! Down he goes! [Kissing and carefully retreating to her seat. See! He is hushed in sweet repose ! FBHUXiIZVa ANNA HAWKEB, < Buzz —buzz—buzz ! «Indeed I oannot stand this. You’ll drive me quite crazy with your buzz, buzz, buzzing. I must and will have silenoe.— I find that plain, pleasant persuasion will not do; 1 shall be foroed to resort to a harsher method. Now, listen, one and all, while I assure you that the first scholar, old or young, miss or master, young gen tleman or lady, whom I shall see whisper ing without leave I will ferule !’ The teacher, Mr. Arthur Stone, dosed his bearded lips firmly, and glanced about the old-fashioned sohool room with a de termined expression, as he ceased speak ing. He evidently meant just what he said—meant it in the face of the. stout, stalwart young gentleman, and the pretty, ■witching, bright eyed girls about him. — For a moment there was a dead silence upon all, while every eye was fixed upon the handsome, resolute faoe of the teacher. But in the little crowd of eager, upturned faces, there was but one which his eye sought, intuitively drawn, as it were by some strange, mesmeric power. One face, and one at that moment which was a pretty pioture of piquant beauty, with its sauoy, inquisitive blue eyes, which met his own fully free and daring;—its strawberry red mouth pursed up by the most provoking and daring of smiles, that said as plainly as wordß oould have said it— ( you won’t ferule me, Arthur Stone, if I whisper ever so muob!’ A sudden flash of anger reddened up into the .cheeks of the young man, and shot from the. depths of his fine gray eyes, as he said, determinedly, in answer to the smile of the red mouth and blue eyes, and the toss of the dainty head— ‘ I repeat it; I will ferule the first scholar whom I see whispering without leave!’ This time there waß no mistaking it; there was a perceptible motion of Anna Hawke’s pretty head, an unmistakable light in her eyes, and a whole, unbroken sentenoe wreathed about the curve of her lips, as she turned oarelessly to her books. ‘ You oan ferule me if you choose,’ she said, mutely, not believing that he would venture to do it. ‘ And I certainly will,’ was the silent reply of the young man, confident the while that she would not allow him an op portunity of putting his threat in execu tion. But he was ill at ease as he turned moodily to the Arithmetic class from which his attention had been drawn by the un usual confusion. Affairs had taken a a disagreeable turn, an unexpected oourse, and whatever he might do, he could not better them. There was but one way for him. He must put a stern face upon the matter. He must maintain his dignity as a teaeher, even if he was obliged to thrust roughly aside his own wishes and inclina tions. AnnaHawkes —pleasant, witching, graceful Anna—the one bright star that threw so much light upon his tiresome duties; the warm-hearted girl who had grown nearer and dearer to him as the dull, wintry days went by; till he had dared hope, silently, yet earnestly, that sometime he might be more to her than any one else in the world; even she, if she came between him and his duties, must be sacrificed. It was a miserable thought, and he greeted it with a long, deep drawn sigh. . ' Not onoe during that forenoon did he venture to look towards Anna’s seat, or allow himself to pause anywhere in her vioinity, for fear his ears might be greeted by a provoking odious whisper. Not once I say, but I must except the long reoess during which he watched her eagerly, aP she bent over her slate, working out her algebraic problems, apparently lost to everything about her. Two or three times he half started from his seat to go to her .assistance, as she knit her white brows perplexedly, but a strange new feeling, .like pride, kept him back. He thought he had never seen her look half as pretty . or loveable as then,, as she sat there bend ing thoughtfully over her book, with one white hand running rapidly and gracefully ’ Q ver her slate. Her dress of darkorim- BQ n cloth, with its full sleeves, confined at • -the ivnsts bjr blaok velvet bands, fashioned high in the neok, but in snob a manner as to display her full, white throat, was strangely beooming to her. He had never thought of it before, but there was a cer tain refinement in her taste which was truly pleasing. It was visible in every thing she wore —the dainty oambrio col lar, confined at the throat by a small oatneo breastpin : the knots of blaok velvet rib bon fastened about her luxuriant soft brown braids; the petite blaok, full silk apron, with its girdle of silk cord, and full large drooping tassels, and even the slender, shining little kid boots that peeped daringly out from the folds of her ample skirt. In all his life Arthur Stone had never looked upon face or figure so pleas ing or captivating. But as he watched her, she raised her eyes to his face. In a moment the pretty seriousness which had rested so becomingly upon her features was gone. A provoking smile curled up her rosy mouth, and went with a sudden rush of triumph over her whole face, dilat ing her finely curved nostrils and sweep ing like very sunshine over the blue of her eyes, making suoh rare dimples about her chin, as one might have supposed to have been fitted by the ounning forefinger of Cupid himself. Arthur Stone was vexed, but he was too much a man of the world to allow the young girl to know how much she was cap able of annoying him, and so, after the first flame of petty anger had died out from his cheeks and forehead, he said in a voioe the coolness of whioh surprised even himself: ‘ Can I be of any assistance to you, Miss Hawkes V 1 None, sir, thank you. I have quite conquered my exercises alone to-day.’ Foolish fellow! The very coolness of his manner betrayed the secret which he Btrove to hide. There was little need of ooverts if there was nothing to oonoeal.— And so it was that the forenoon slipped unpleasantly away, and the afternoon came in its stead. The teacher’s rule so far was a good one. The school was remark able for its quietude. If Anna Hawkes had not been present, Mr. Stone would have counted it a success, but as it was, he was in a oonstant tremor of fear. A raised hand in the neighborhood of her seat, and a timid application for assistance, was met with something like an unreasonable frown. In a hurried, nervous way he proceeded to explain away the difficulty to the timid applicant, anxious to be free from such dangerous surroundings. Just as he was congratulating himself upon his sucoess, and about turning away, a rapid, whispered volley of words rattled past his ears. There was no avoiding it. He knew the source from whence they came as well as did every soholar who heard them. He oould not pass thought lessly along. The dread alarm had oome with suoh a sudden distinctness as to surprise him into an involuntary start. Every pair of eyes in the school room were turned inquiringly and ouriously to his face. He was forced into doing his duty. The heavy heard about his mouth was friendly to him then, for it oovered a suspicious pallor that settled there as he turned about and rested his eyes sternly upon the blushing, piquant faoe of Anna Hawkes. She was the picture of innooenoe just then, with her brown lashes drooped low upon her oheeks, and the pearly white teeth crushed cruelly down upon the crimson of her lips.’ ‘ Miss Hawkes, can you tell me who whispered a moment sinoe V ‘ Yes, sir ’ The white lids were thrown wide open, and the clear eye fixed frankly upon his own. ‘Who?’ ‘ I, sir.’ ‘ Will you oblige me by stepping this way a moment V He led the way out into the floor. ‘ Yes, sir, certainly.’ ’ She followed him promptly, pausing beside the desk and resting one hand prettily upon its top. ‘ I suppose you listened to my rule of this morning ?’ ‘ Yes, sir.’ ‘You understand it,too, doubtless ?’ ‘ Yes, sir, perfectly.’ ‘ Understanding it perfectly, tben, you have been pleased to break it. Can you name my duty ?’ ‘lt does not admit of a question. Ferule me, sir. She commenced drawing a slen der gold ring from her left hand. ‘ This hand ?’ she asked suddenly, looking into his face. ‘ We have plenty of time, Miss Hawkes; do not hurry,’ he said, evading her ques tion, ‘ I have something to say to you.” She leaned her elbow upon the desk, and her burning face upon her hand.’ I shall be happy to listen to you,’ she said. ‘ I will not trouble you but a moment only to say that I regret more than I am able to express, that a soholar whom I have endeavored to treat with uniform courtesy and respeot, and in whose advancement I had felt a lively interest, should by so glaring a misdemeanor, such an utter con tempt of my wishes, avow a disregard for me as a teacher and a friend. Such a dis play is unpleasant enough if a mere child wilfully breaks the rule of a school, but when, instead, a young gentleman or lady so far forgets him or herself, it is intensely painful. I assure you that I deeply re gret this.’ Anna bowed gracefully as Mr. Stone ceased speaking. Again her white teeth were dented into her lip, while the brown lashes trembled close upon tbo deep burn ing red of her cheeks. ‘ Your hand, if you please.’ 5 The little white hand was reaohed forth as though it were to reoeive a caress in stead of a blow. As it lay so tenderly and trustingly upon the broad palm of the teacher, he inwardly cursed his stars. He called himself a brute, a tyrant, a monster. He had a mind to get down upon his knees and pray for a big mouthed earthquake to come and swallow him ; for a sudden flash of lightning (in the winter time,) to melt him into nonentity; for a whirlwind to sweep him with its rapid rushing winds from off the faoe of the earth. Strike that little dimpled hand with a cruel two inch rule! He had rather cover, aye, blis ter it with kisses, instead. It trembled within his grasp,’and about the mouth of the owner, a little white line was islanding the redness of her lips. For a moment, he thought he’d kneel before her, and ask her to give the pale prisoner entirely to him. A thought struck him. He might strike his own hand instead of Anna’s.— : He oould shield her and take the blow himself. The idea was a rare one. He was in a mood for cracking every knuokle that he owned. He ,raised his ruler, Anna t ft THAT COUNTRY IS ras MOST PROSPEROUS whießE ZtABOE COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD,” LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1859. raised her eyes to his face, i His fixed, de termined expression started her. She would bear his blow without shrinking, without starting, she thought, but; O, she would hate him, hate him, hate him, so long as Bhe lived ! As the thought passed her mind, a gay, dashing-lookingj sleigh, drawn by a pair of fine horses, came rapidly up to the school house door. | Lucky, lucky, Sir. Stone, the ruler fell harmlessly upon the fair, rosy palm of Anna, as he turned his eyesj towards the window, and exclaimed, hurriedly: ‘ The committee, Miss Hawkes. You can take your seat now, but remain to night after school. Even for this inter ruption I should not feel justified in letting the affair pass.’ 1 ‘ The last committee man upon earth that 1 would care to see !’ exclaimed Mr. Stone to himself, as he bowed low before the pompous young gentleman know by the cognomen of Dr. Wesley Barker, who rapped with his whip upon the door—said young gentleman being one pf wealth and education. But the teacher i did not care a fig for his wealth —he did not envy him —or anything for his education—his own was quite equal to it. But what he did care for was, that Dr. was a great admirer of Anna Hawkes, and in the present state of affairs he did not care about having rivals around.< Everything went along smoothly during school hours, as it always did during the j visits of the several oommittees, but the moment sohohl was dismissed, Dr. Barker, stalked aoross the sohool-room floor and up to Anna Hawkes’s seat. Mr. Stone bit his lips with vexation. His rival bad made his appear ance in thq nick of time. : He despised meanness heartily, denounced it; but now in spite of himself, he stood and listened eagerly to catch a few words that dropped from Dr. Barker’s and Annals lips ‘ I’ll ask Mr. Stone to excuse me,’ he heard Anna say. ‘ Which, of course, he will do,’ replied Dr. Barker. ‘ I am not so certain,’ was the smiling reply, as she started towards his desk. 1 1 hope you’ll pardon me for daring to ask such a thing, but Dr. Barker wishes me to drive with him in his new sleigh, which I’m very anxious to do, and so I’d like to be excused from remaining to night to take my feruling, promising to come early to-morrow morning.’ Mr. Stone bowed and said, 1 “ Very well,’ though the words quite choked him. He secretly wished Dr. Barker and his new sleigh in China, and himself free from the vocation of school teaohing.; He thought, as he stood moodily by watching Anna Hawkes pin her plaid shawl.closely about her throat, and tie under her ohin the blue ribbons of her quilted hood, preparatory to her drive with Dr. Barker, that he was the most miserable man in existence, and that he would purchase him a farm, work shoveling on the railroad, would do any thing rather than teach another school.— He had engaged already to take oharge of the village academy the following spring, but now he resolved that he would not do it—he would throw up the engagement at onoe. ‘No doubt she thinks me.a very brute,’ he said to himself, as the gay equipage went dashing down the street. Perhaps, after all, she had not meditated that ruth less attack upon .his dignity and patienoe. Indeed, now he thought of it again, the whisper was more like a sudden exclam ation than anything else. Yet he had not given her the slightest ohance for an ex planation, but, like the executioner who loved his occupation, hurried her forward to punishment^—the dolt, that he called himself. He had a very poor opinion of Arthur Stone just at that : moment. He was sure that he would like : to horsewhip him. A fair counterpart of the pupil’s thoughts and feelings were those of the teacher. — It was a dull, dreary drive that Anna Hawkes took with Dr. Barker. She hadn’t a heart to enjoy it after the folly of the afternoon. ‘ He thinks that I do not care for, nor respect him,’ was the thought uppermost in her mind, whichever way she turned. ‘ And this is the return I am making him for all his kindness to me—all the inter est he has taken in my studies, both in and out of school. O, if he could but know the truth!’ The truth! The young girl startled herself by the words. And what was the truth? She buried her burning faoe in her hands as she asked the question. It was this : She loved Arthur Stone ! loved him better than life itself! A ory of pain went from her lips, as the knowledge slowly settled down upon her heart. But what proof had she given him of this ? What proof that she was any other than a vain, selfish, unwomanly thing ? None, alas, none! Like any woman who is conscious of her power, she gloried in hers over Arthur Stone. But how was he to know that it was anything but the glory of a fickle, heartless ooquefte, rather than that of a strong, loving, true-hearted woman, who makes her power a golden chain about the heart of the man she loves, by which she draws him tenderly and gently towards her ? How, 0, how was he to know this ? The thought was agonizing to her. : She resolved at last to go to him in the morning and confess her fault, humbling as it was. He Bhould know, at least, that she held his feelings too sacred to wound them wantonly. But in the morning she was sick and feverish, scarcely able to lift her head from the pillow. ; She oould not see Arthur that day, and so she must con tentedly wait for the next. Against her wishes Dr. Barker was summoned, who croaked dubiously of a fever whioh was hanging about her. She ihust be careful, be very quiet, and follow his directions, he said, and he would come again in the afternoon to learn how he was getting along. He came in the afternoon, but at an unlucky hour. Anna sat leaning back in the rooking-chair, by the window, look ing eagerly up the street) But while he prated learnedly at her side, he saw a rapid red stain through the whiteness of her cheek, and an eager light break out from the clear blue of her eyes. Arthur Stone was passing by the house, and view ed with a scornful curl! of the lip the handsome equipage of Dr. Barker. He 4id not look beyond it, to the pale faoe bent so earnestly towards him, but turned his eyes coldly away, and: walked haugh tily down the.street, while 1 Anna sank back into the softly cushioned chair. The next morning she refused to remain away - from sohool another day. - Arthur Stone would say that she was cowardly, that she feared a feruling, that she ab sented herself purposely, because of the misunderstanding of Tuesday afternoon, which she was too guilty to faoe again.— She would go to sohool though she fainting on her way. She could not rest until her weary mind was unburdened of this heavy load. So she went, pale and trembling, at an early hour, to the school house. « How he scorns me—how he hates me she thought, as Mr. Stone quietly raised his eyes to her face, and bowed a silent good morning as she entered the room.— How could she ever face that stern, cold gaze, and make her excuses for not keeping her appointment of the previous morning ? ‘I was too ill to come out yesterday morning,’ she said, in a trembling voice, < or I should not have broken my promise. Will this morning do as wall ?’ Mr. Stone glanced keenly into her faoe. The blanched cheeks, and white, quivering lips testified to the truth of what she said. ‘ Are you able to be here now ?’ he said, in a tone of voice that had more of tender ness than aught else running through it. ‘ Hardly, You oan fer—ferule me, and I will go home,’ she said, while her oheeks orimsoned with shame. Mr. Stone bit his lips to keep baok a reply which rose involuntarily to them.— Again was that tender white hand before him, waiting meekly for its punishment, now weak and trembling from illness. Did she think him a brute ? Quite evidently, from her action. ‘ I—l—regret that I wounded your feelings on Tuesday,’ she said, raising her eyes to his facel ‘ I am thoughtless, I hope not heartless. Will you pardon me ?’ The question was asked in a low, quivering voice, half choked with tears. ‘ Pardon you !’ Mr. Stone repeated the words slowly, in a clear, emphatic tone. ‘ls it too much to ask ?’ You will not refuse me—you would not refuse me if you knew ‘ What?’ ‘ How utterly miserable I am. I cannot stay here—here’s my hand—let me go home! ’ With a quick, rapid movement, the teaoher grasped the little feverish hand that was outstretohed to him, and covered it over and over again with fervent, pas sionate kisses. ‘ Forgive you,’ he said, while his fine eyes grew deep and tender in their expres sion, ‘ forgive you, yes, a thousand times, and then not be able to show you a millionth part of the love whioh I bear for you. Forgive—but I’ll dare ask more than you dare hope, perhaps more than you care to hope—that you will love me ; that you will plaoe yourself and this sinned against, abused little hand in my keeping. Tell me, Anna, have I asked too much ?’ The answer was faint and low that came Erom Anna Hawkes’s lips, , but nevertheless it was a satisfactory one, for the sweet little mouth from whenoe it oame took immediate reward in kisses. So it all ended. And a few weeks after, Anna Hawkes became Mrs. Arthur Stone. love in a Tunnel. Many amusing anecdotes of Ventrilo quists have been published, and many more told that have not been published. But we think there are few ventriloquil incidents that will compare with one we witnessed recently on the oars of the Vir ginia Central Railroad. We have read anecdotes of Niohols, Kenworthy, Love, Sutton, Harrington and Blitz, but think the following actual occurrence will bear favorable mention, side by side with either: The cars left Charlottsville, Va., for Staunton, at 12 M., and entered the tunnel, which is very long and very dark, about half past IP. M. We had hardly been shut out from daylight, when a noise was heard in the rear end of the last car. The oonduotor and several passengers, who were standing on the platform, enter ed the car with a view to disoover the oause of the disturbance. But owing to the extreme darkness, nothing could be seen. While patiently waiting to hear the slightest movement, which might explain the excitement, a boisterous noise, resembling the' sound produced by fervent kissing, and at the same moment a fefihale voice was heard exclaiming : ‘ Get out you brute !• Let me alone ! I’ll oall the conductor ! Keep your hands off sir ! This is shameful!’ ‘Where is he?’ cried the oonduotor in an angry tone, approaching the direction whence the sound proceeded. < Here!’ said the lady, ‘ this end of the car, arrest him! he insulted me shame fully—here he is again ! Will you let me alone ? 1 think it is a burning shame that a respectable lady should be treated in this manner!’ ‘ Get in the ladies’ oar then!’ Shouted a gruff voice. ‘ You have no business here!’ ‘ She has a right here!’ replied the conductor, seizing the individual he sup posed guilty of the misdemeanor. ‘ You needn’t grab me,’ said a husky voiced old man ; ‘ I didn’t touch her ; I havn’t seen a woman in the oar !’ The oondhotor seemed confused, and retraced his steps to the forward end of the car. Again the voice was heard, apparently in the rear. ‘ Here he is again, conductor ! Go away ! quit! let me alone ! this iB shame ful ! Keep your hands to yourself sir! I’ll leave the car! You follow if you dare !’ This language was followed by an explo sion resembling the concussion of two lips. All was oonfusion. The sympathiz ing passengers were all standing up, -high ly excited, but owing to the darkness and the uncertainty that existed from whence the sounds proceeded, nothing was done. A noise like the rustling of silk was heard, the rear door of the car opened and then dosed with a banging sound, making the extraordinary stillness which followed fear ful to contemplate, which fearfulness in creased to horror, when the oonduotor announced that the lady must have stepped off the platform, as there was no oar attached. The oars were stopped by the signal rope, and a lantern prooured, when the passengers, headed by the conductor, groped slowly and silently back through the tunnel, expecting momentarily to disoover the mutilated remains of the unfortunate female. But after searching baok to the mouth of the tunnel, nothing was found, and they sadly retraced their steps. Upon arriving at the train a passenger suggested that the cause of the . exoito ment- be arrested; and in the oars, went —BUOBAHAN. the party searching every seat until they came to a person, leaning forward on the back of a seat in front of him, apparently asleep. The oonduotor roughly shook the he raised his head, when, lo! and behold it was Wyman the ventriloquist. The party very reluotlantly swallowed the unmitigated “ sell.” The oars started and sped on to their plaoe of destination, having been detained one hour over time. Young Men and Young Women.— There is good sense in the following advioe to young men and women, whioh we find in an article from the pen of Grant Thorn burn, a man of ripe years and large exper- “ There is nothing to be gained in dang ling foi a twelvemonth after a sensible woman, talking unmeaning stuff—words without wisdom. Tell her your wish like a man, and not like a blubbering sohool boy. She will never trifle with your affec tions; and if there are three grains of oommon sense in your muckle carcass, she will be your own before a month has passed. See ihe history of Rebekah, in Genesis, 24th chapter, 56th verse : When Abraham’s servant had concluded the pre liminary contraot with Mrs. Laban, on the part of her daughter, to beoome the wife of lsaao, the old man was anxious to get home, to show hislyoung master the bonny lass he had brought him ; the old mother wished him to remain a few days, to recruit himself and camels. He persisting, it was finally referred to' ( the daughter. ‘We will call the damsel and inquire at her mouth,’ said the mother, v When Rebekah appeared her mother asked— ‘ Wilt thou go with this man ?’ Rebekah replied—‘ I will go.’ There was a noble girl for you. No tear starting from Jigtfblaok eyes ; ho whining and simpering -make believe, nor mook modesty; but wist her heart wished, her lips uttered. Like an honest maiden, she replied, ‘ I will go.’ Now, young ladies go ye and do likewise. When the man, whom you prefer above all others in the world, says, ‘ Wilt thou go with me ?’— answer ‘ I will go.’ By the bye, ladies, when you wish to read a true, simple and unsophisticated love story, just read over the 24th chapter of Genesis.” CARDS.
