My Great-Aunt Elizabeth.
r
As I can remember my great-aunt
Elizabeth—and I was a very little boy
when I used to see her—she was a woll
ronntlt <i old Quaker lady with the neat
est of caps and a spotless kerchief
folded across her breast. What most
impressed me was that she knitted gray
woolen stockings all the time, appar
ently never looking at them and never
dropping a stitch. This strnck me as a
very marvelous feat, and to tell tbo
truth I must still think it so, as I du
not find ladies young or old nowadays
who can do the same.
I never imagined tliat my great-aunt
Elizabeth had experienced a livelier
emotion than that con c equent on drop
pine a stitch or having a baking spoil.
Not till long after she was laid away in
one of the tombles* mounds in the
Friends' burying ground did I learn
from some old letters and papers what
a whirlwind of passion and of pain had
awept throngh her life half a century
before I saw her.
She was the vonngest daughter of my
ancestor, her father, who, with due re
spect to bis memory, must have been a
choleric and tyrannical old fellow. Hho
grew up a beauty, and as at that iimo
marriages were formed early among the
settlors of Upland where the family
lived, her sisters were soon carried off
and she lived alone with her father,
then a widower. Naturally she did not
lack admirers, some from the surround
ing farms and some even from Phils
delp-la and Newcastle. Two, however,
were particularly assiduous; tho one,
John Hat ton, already the prosperous
owner of afarm in tho ncighborbod,
tho other Thomas Ebsworth, a promis
ing sprig of the law from Newcastle.
The latter was a dapper gentleman of
the day, with a wig and black silk
stockings, and with the courteous man
ners of the Established church, of
which he and his parents were mem
bers. He showed to great advantage in
Elizabeth's eyes in contrast to John
Hatton, a heavy youth, slow of speech,
wearing an ill-fitting Quaker suit of
homespun, and inclined to aurlinees.
But her father looked at matters differ
ently. He had feigned business in
Newcastle and found the Ellsworth fam
ily to be, as he expressed it, of the
Maryland style of people, spending
their incomes in fine living, buying
wines and wearing imported goods.
Altogether the future of young Ells
worth looked to him very problemati
cal. so one evening ho began:
" Elizabeth, I aee the lias two fol
lowers who are coming often; I shall
not urge the© to marry either, but I
■hall toll thee one thee shall not marry,
uid that is Thomas Ebsworth. Nor
■ball he oo i.e again into this house. I
shall have no sparks in silk stockings
enter my dooto "
Elizabeth knew well the hard inflexi
ble character of her father. She oonld
never remember to have sat on his'
knee, nor to have kissed him. Tot she
knew that in his way he loved his fam
ily before all else, and what rendered
her case hopeless was that it was this
very lovo for her that prompted fcis
crnel action. Sho turned deadly pole,
and sinking on a bench said not a word.
Her father had expected passiona'o
remonstrance perhaps, bat not silent
aeqoieeoence. He well know that her
affections were for Ebsworth. Many
men would havo worked themselves
into a rage to justify their harshness.
Bat he needed no such self-deception.
He acted as Friends usually act, with
perfectly clear convictions.
Thee knows that in this I act for
thy welfare. 1 cannot allow thee to
entar a family where the honrs are
passed in wordly pleasures, where re
ligion is a hollow profeoaion, and whoa®
goods are iqatadored in follies. Ijot
this rolntion go no farther, and now go
to thy sloep."
Not till sho was in hot bod did Eliza
beth give way to those wild choking
sobs which she had stifled by a mighty
effort. Life strotched boforo her a long
and sterile blank. The light aud the
glory had utterly gono from it.
Next day sho rose pale and haggard
and went about her dutiea as usual.
Her father made to reference to the
conversation, but he was restless. He
knew that on Fifth-day evening Thomas
Ebe worth paid his usual weekly visit.
This was Fifth day, and the old man
evidently had something on his mind.
Br> had Elizabeth, fearing she knew not
what.
Toward sunset Ebsworth entered the
lane on horseback. He was dressed as
nsual with much caro in the latest
English fashion, and with tlio usual
black silk stockings. As ho entered
tho yard the old man weut out and ad
dressed him :
"Thomas, thee can turn round and
go homo and stay there. Ido not wish
more of thy visits."
Tho young man was taken aback by
this language, but lost neither his pres
ence of mind nor his courtesy.
"Friend James," he said, "may I
ask why thee treats mo thus ? I have
not deserved it." Thomas, though of
tho Established church, adopted out of
policy the plain language with his
Quaker friends.
" I will tell thoo why. Thee conies
for my daughter. Thee shall never
havo her and here the hot-headed
naturo of the old man got the better of
him and ho burst out: "I shall never
give her to a worlding who thinks to
get my money to spend on cards and
wine, and," he added, looking scorn
fully at tho shapely limbs of the young
man, "on black silk stockings. Got
thee Neither she nor I want to
so© thoe agaiu."
A faint cry from an upper window
led both of them to look up. There,
prone across the (ill, lay the fainting
form of Elizabeth. The old man with
an imperative gesture of anger bade the
youth depart. Locking hopelessly ut
the houso ho turned down tho lanoand
never was scon to c-nter it again.
But did ho thus give up the chase?
Ah ! that is whoro a dreadful mystery
comes in. Watched and lectured by
her father, dogged by surly John Hat
ton, Elizabeth sank into apathy, the
roses faded from her cheeks, and at
last she was worried into consenting to
a marriage with this persistent suitor.
A year passed, when one day John
rode up to the old man's, a prey to some
excitement which changed his whole
features. Hi.-, father in-law looked at
him wi'.ti amazement.
"John," he Mid, " what is the mat
ter? what aileth thee?"
" Matter," ho hissed, " matter—take
thy daughter back. I want no falae
woman for my wife."
Bnt he had not learned the temper of
the man he wn talking to. With a
blow that would hare done credit to an
arm of thirty hi* father-in-law felled ,
him to the earth.
"Take that, thon foul speaker, and
may the Lord forgive me my anger.
Bnt none ahull apeak such lie* of my j
children."
"A lie, i* itr said John, slowly ris
ing, greatly cooled by thin most incon
sistent action of the old Friend. "Then
what does thin mean V and he spread a
crumpled piece of paper before h
father-in-law's eyes.
It was with difficulty the old man
could read it, although it was written
in a clerkly Italian hand. It read:
" Will thee not meet me, dear Elf sa
beth, by the spring in the woods after
■unset to-morrow ? As we pledged
each other our true love, let us keep
our pledge in spite of the one man who
stands in the way, no matter how near
ho is to thee. Thy own THOMAS."
It was not dated. The old man saw
what it referred to and said :
" This was written years before thy
marriage, when I drove Thomas Ebs
worth from the house. But she never
met him, as I watched her hourly for I
days afterward."
"Perhaps so," said John, "but it
may have been written within a month."
As be spoke ho backed off to a respect
ful distance a* he saw a dangerous
light in the old man's eyes.
" John," said he, " anger me not.
Thou art a fool, and thy wife is my
daughter. I shall speak to Friend Ra-
I chel Wilson and she shall adjust this
matter between us. But never speak to
me again about it."
Friend Rachel was a local preacher
of great forco of character and diaore
tion. Bhe reported that Elisabeth had
received this note from Thomas Eba
worth the dsy he wms driven away, but
her conscience wsa too much under a
sense of duty to heed it. Unfortunately
she did not destroy it
This explacation—undoubtedly the
true one—did not satisfy John Hatton,
bnt he dared not openly defy it. He
grew more and more an |y, soon took to
drinking, and af'er a few years of do
mestic unbappiness, be fell off his
horse one day when strong liquor had
weakened his brain, and broke his
neek.
My groat unnt never married again,
and for fifty yours after his death led
that placid existence which ia nowhere
found in anch perfection aa in the So
ciety of Frienda.
And Thomaa Ebaworth, what of
him ? Alilo and ambitious, ho fuiaifled
the predictions of my anocator and il
lustrated again how fooliah ia the wis
dom which would fence paaaion with
prudonco and love with calculation,
lie removed to Murylatid, married late
in life, and became a prominent figure in
the early political hietoryof our Union.
Once only did tho lovcra meet.
My great-aunt, left with atraitoned
meana and several small children, livod
after her husband's death near tho
"Baltimore road," the main highway
which in thoso days led from Baltimore
to Philadelphia. One summer after
noon she took her work to a seat under
a great oak troo by tho roadside. She
was still a comely woman with a fresh
sweet face and brown hair untouched
by gray. Her ytungest daughter, a
girl of eleven, was with her and it is
her account of what happened that 1
shall give.
Looking down the road tho child
spied a delightful Bight— a real private
coach brilliant wim shining lamps and
varnish, and driven by a liveried coach
man in the majesty of cockade and but
tons.
As the coach reached tho of
the oak the coachman drew up to rent
hia horses. Suddenly tho door was
thrown open and a gentleman, dressed
in tho elaborate oostume of the day,
sprang out ami holding out both hands
cried :
"Elizabeth 1 Elizabeth!"
" When mother hoard him," said my
informant, " I saw her turn white and
lean back against the tree ; her lips
moved bnt she made no reply. ' Eliza
beth !' he repeated, ' have I no place in
thy memory ? I have never forgotten,
never can forget.'
"What mother answrred I do not
know. Somothing she si 1 in a low
voice, and for someminntes they talked
together in an undertone. Then mother
began to cry and sho made a motion to
hira with her band, as she did to ns
children wlion she wished us to leave
her. I heard tho words 4 Thomas, thee
has a wife.' With that the gentleman
put his handkerchief to his eyes,
entered the coach and was rapidly
driven away.
" Mother sat crying for a loug time
under the oak, and I was so frightened
I did not dare speak, nor did I say a
word about it to her for several years.
Then one day I asked :
" 4 Mother, will thee tell me who
that gentleman was who spoke to thee
under the oak tree?"
"'That, Anna,' aho replied in her
nsnal calm tone, • was Governor Eba
worth, of Maryland. I'knew him when
I was a girl. But as he was associated
with mneh that was painful in my early
life, I should prefer that thee would
not speak to me of him again.'
" And I neTer did."

aaked all abont hia wife and family,
and wanted to know when h© came
down and when be was going back, the
old man declined the proffered hand,
and drawing track, said: "That's all

A machine is greatly needed in many

from trees in tbe operation of trimming
them, for the purpose of utilizing tbom
for fuel. Hnch materials are extensive

for beating bouses and for cooking
food. 1 box are twisted together or
tit dby band. Although this country
is well supplied with wood and coal,
and tbe facilities for transporting tbom
are excellent in most sections, still
there are places where the inhabitants
are obliged to rely entirely on tbe ma
terials at band for fuel for warming and
cooking. They bare an abundance of
liay and straw, and sometimes bushea
and the branches of trees that have
la-en planted. If tbey are twisted
together andbound they form very good
and convenient fuel for domestic pur
poses. The materials as prepared should
be nearly in the form of sticks of s.ovs
wood. In addition to being twisted
they should be bound so that they can
be conTenientlr handled. A machine
that would accomplish these results
would be of very great value in many
portions of the West, and especially so
in the treeless, coallees sections of the
gTeat wheat giowing region. It should
be of ample construction, not liable to

Am Rxtraordlnarj Story.
A private letter published by the
Franl/urtcr Zfituxg tells the following
extraordinary atory: Not long ago the
priest of one of thechnrohea in Samara,
Russia, in the course of a aermon. re
called the bratal assassination of Alex
ander IL Hia hearer* became greatly
excited, and at the close of the service
left the chnreh in a frenzy of rage,
alioating that they would have rerenge.
Not finding one of the mnrderera ready
to their hand* they ran about the
street* assaulting every one who waa
dreteed after the manner of Europeans.
That night a Nihilist committee having
headquarters in the town met and de
cided that the priest who had unwit
tingly instigated the riot should be put
to death. They oaat lota and a young
girl was designated for the bloody
work. She turned deathly pale, but
promised tho committee should be sat
iafled and iU sentence carried out Two
night* afterward the priest WM
awakened by the noise of an explosion
in his daughter's room. He hurried to
ttte spot and there found the girl lying
just slive st the foot of bear bed. She
explained that she bad been chosen by
lot to murder the priest, but had pre
ferred to kill herself rather than her
father. Bii* refused to divulge the
names of her aoootaplioee, and iu a tsw
momenta waa dead.
