STEPHEN ARCHER.
BY 0301102 111•CDOIALD.
Stephen Archer was a stationer,
book-seller, and newemonger in one
of the suburbs of Loudon: The
newspapers hung in a sort of rack
at his door, as it for the_convenience
of the public to help themselves in
passing. -On his counter lay i_penny
weeklies and books coming 'out in
parts,- amongst which the Family
Herald warrin force, and the London
Joyirnal not to be found. I had oc
casion once to try the extent of his
stock, for I. required a good many
copies of one of Shakespeare's plays,
—at a penny if I could And such.
He shook his bead and told me he
could not encourage the sale of such
productions. This pleased me, for
although it was of little-consequence
what be thought concerning Shakes
peare, it was of the utmost import
that he should prefer principle to
pence. So 1 loitered in the -shop,
looking for something to buy; but
there was nothing in the way of lit
erature ; his whole stock, as far ; igi I
could see, consisted of a little egg
ions volume of gay binding and in
terior print ; be bad nothing even
from the Halifax press. He. was a
good looking fellow, about thirty,
with dark eyes, over-banging brows
that indicated thought, mouth of
character, and no smile. I was in
terestr d m trim.
I asked if he would mind getting
the playb I wanted. He said be
would rather not. I bade him good
morning.
More than a year after, I saw him
again. I had passed his shop many
times, but this moruing,l forget why,
1 went in. I cupid hardly recall the
former appearance of the man, so
was it swallowed up in a new es
pre.ssion. H is face was alive; and
his behavior courteous. A similar
change bad passed upon his stock
There was Punch and Fun amongst
.the papers, and tenpenny Shake

IeYX appointment, Archer, seated in
his pew. searched all the chapel, fot
the fulfillment of Sara's - part of the
agreement, namely, her presence.—
But be could see her noiihere. -•
The fast was, her promise was so
easy that she bad scarcely thought of
it after, not inspecting: that Stephen
laid any stress upon its fulfillment,
and, indeed, not knowing where the
chapel. was. She bad manage() to
b?y, a bit of something of shoddy ar
mee, and while Stephen was !Oolong
for her in the chapel,she was making
a jacket for Charley. Greatly dhow,.
pointed, and chiefly, I do belieye,that
she had not kept her word, Stephen
went in the afternoon to till upon
her.
He found her working sway se be
fore, and saving time, by taking her
dinner is she worked, for a piece of
bread lay on the table by her elbow,
and beiside-it a little brown sugar to
make' the bread or down. The eight
went to Stephen s beak% for be bad
'net made hie dinner of, baked mut-
ton and potatoes, washed down with
his half pint of stout.
"Sara 1 1 he said, solemnly, "you
promised to come to our chapel, and
you have never kept your word."—
He never thought that "onr chapel"'
was not the landmark of the region.
"0, Mr. Archer," she answered, I
didn't know as you cared
\ sabout it.",
But went t , n, rising and pushing he*t
bread on one Side to make room for,
her work, "I'll put on my bonnet d•-
rectly." Then she checked hentett,
and added, '•0,I beg your pardon,
sir,—l'm so shabby I You couldn't b
seen with the likes of me." • '
It touched Stephen's chivalry—and
sumething deeper than chivalry. He
had had no intention of walking with
her. •
" There's no no chapel in the after
u,,on," be said.; f'but come and
retch you in the evening."'
Thus it came about that Sara wig
seated in Stephen's pew, next to SP.=
phen himself, and - Steshen felt a
strange pleasure unknown before.;
like that of the shepherd who, having
brought the stray back td the' fold,
cares little that its wool is torn by
the bushes, and it looks a ragged and
disreputable 'sheep. It was only

The gathered people, the. faithless;
the gas-lights, the solemn esoent of ;
the ministers into the pulpit,tbehesr
ty singing of the congregatiOn,=
doubtless had their effect upon Sarts,.
for She had never been to II chapel
and hardly to any place of assembly
before. From all ,amnsement, the
burden of ("barley and her own re- .
tiring nature hid kept her back.
But she could make nothing of the
sermon. She confessed afterward"
that she did not kn'ow'she had 'any
thing to do with it. Like "the Nor 4
them Farmer," she tookit all for the
clergyman's business, which she
amongst the rest had to see done.—;
She did not even ;wonder- why Bte

Things -- proceededin much the same
fashion for a while: Charley went
home at night to his sister'. lodg:ng,
generally more than Oro" heirs after
leaving the ehup, bet gave ber up
new ground of complaint:. Every
Sunday eiefiltig - Bars went to the
chapel,taking Charley with her when
she! could persuade hit to go ; and,
_inbedience to the. supposed wish of
St phen, sat in his pew. He did not
goi i
borne with her any, more for s
wh t le, and indeed visited her but sel
dom, anxious to avoid, scandal, and
more especially as be was a deacon.
But now. that Charley was so fir
safe, Sara's cheek began to generate
a little of that celestial rosy red,whicif
is the blossom of that woman-plant ,
although After all it hardly ' equalled'.
the heart of the blush rose. She grew
a little rounder in form, too, fur she
lived rather better now,—buyi.ng her
self a rasher of bacon twice a week.
Hence she began to be in more. dan
ger, as any one acquainted with her
surroundings will easily comprehend.
Bat what seemed at first the ruin of
her hopes dissipated the danger.
One evening, when she , returned
from her work, she found 'Stephen ja
beg room. She made him the anbmis
sive, grab:lid salutation, halt saluta
tion, half courtesy, half bow, with
which she always greeted .him, and
awaited his will.
" I am very sorry to have to tell
you, Sara, that your, brother—" .
She turned, white as a shroud, and
her great black eyes grew greater
and blacker as she stared in agoniz-.
ing expectancy, while Stephen hesi
tated in search of a better form of
communication. Finding none, he
blurted out the fact— .
"-Ass robbed me, and run away."
" Don't send"him to priis'on, Mr.
:Archer 1" Fhrieked Sara ; - and laid
herself on the floor it his feet, with a
; groveling motion, as if striving with
her mother eaith for comfort. , There
was not a film of art in this. She bad
never been to a theatre The natural
urging of life gave the truest shape
to tier entreaty , Her posture was
the result of the mime feeling :which
made the nations of old bring th'eir
sacrifices to the altar of a deity who,
possibly benevolent in the maid, had
yet cause to be inimi :s) to 'them,
From the prostrate living r acrifiee
arose the one prayer, "Don't send

Stephen gazed at her in bewildered
admiration, half 'divine and all ha}

silence; bat the• Duly definite she
this conswousness Cook was of bene.l
ficenee. Attributing, his' sileece tci

from the ground—that is,to her knee;
"and lifted a face of utter eiitrealy tO
the sight of Stephen. I will not
try to describe the - iotensitv
of its prayer, for words fail me to
describe the commonest phenomenon
of nature ; all I can say is, that it
made Stephen's. heart too large for ,
its confiningwalle. "Mr. Archer,"
she said, in a oice hollow with emo
tion, "1 will d . anything you like. I

The words were spoken with a cer

"No ;'he , is at my bowie. Come

any danger, but his leg is broken"
A gleam ofjoy crossed Sari's
countenance. She did not mind the
broken leg, for be was safe - from her
terror. She pat on her bonnet, tied
the strings with trembling hands,and
wept with Stephen. .
"You see God wants to- keev hint

But, to Sara this hardly conveyed .
an idea; She walked by his side in

him in bed, her spirielatil time to

She learned rapidly. 'The lesson

did not consider that growing love
had enlightened his eyes to see into'

use an ordinary human language for ,
