THE - MILL 'AND THE 'TAVERN;
"To my-oldest son, Richard, the
tavern stand known as the ' Red
Lion,' and twenty acres of ground
attached thereto; and to my-other
son, Jacob, the grist mill on Dart
creek, and the residue of my land
lord property."
5o the will.read. A deep silence,
andl, , ima a single word of dissatis
factiou, which came from Jacob, the
younger son of the deceased Richard
'Crap . His brother looked up with
a tro ledexpression - on his face and
then t eir eyes met.
" This will is not .to vonr mind,"
said Richard, gravely.
"No it is not,"' answered Jacob,
with a hardness in singular contrast
with bis brother's gentle and sub=
tined manner.
" Yon prefer the tavern stand ? "
" Of conrse I would," rejoined the
brother.
"And I wcinld prefer the Mill; so
all can be satisfactorily adjusted," re
plied Richard, in a frank and cheer
ful manner. •
Towanda, P
'Jacob's face was not the only one
that showed - surprise. Bat as none
present. had any right to question
Richard's decision, there was. no re
monstrance or deprecatory remarks'.
" Well,' you are a precious fool,"
said Harry Glenn in an angry voice,
on meeting Richard Cragan next
day; "and if Kitty follows my ad
vice she gives you the mitten."
" What do , you mean?" asked.
RichaFd, showing some resentment
at the rude assault.
" Just what I say. Did n't your
father leave you the Red Lion '
tavern stand ? "
" Yes." •
" And you 'vo given it to Jacob for
that miserable old grist mill on Dart
Creek ? " •
" Yes."
•" Humph ! "-contemptuously--7"1
knew you were not remarkable for
wit, but did n't imagine, you were
such a cursed fool as .you ;are. Why,
the tavern stand is worth lerty times
as much as the grist mill !"
"Maybe so, and maybe not,"„-rxe
plied Richaid, With a flash of his
eyes that was anneal• tn their blue
tranquility; " time will show. As for
me, I ant satisfied; and no one has a
right to question any decision I may
choose td-make touching my own af
fairs."
" I have a right," said Glenn, with
something offensive in his voice, " as
the brother of Katy— "
" Stop here, Harry," interposed
Richard, in a voice so stern and in
dignant that Glenn moved back a
step or two in surprise. "I never
permit any one to meddle in my af
fairs, and you cannot be an excep
tion. Katy has cast her lot with
mine, and her happiness is in my
keeping, not yours."
" Not quite cast it yet," muttered
Harry, as he turned away from Rich=
ard, whose ear 'caught the sentence.
Its meaning he well understood.
On the , evening of the samb clay
Richard met Katy Glenn, and no
ticed with a sudden chilliness about
his' heart a change in her manner:
She was very dear to him.
HAW loved her ever, since helves
a boy44oved her with a. steadiness
that• no coldness on her part, no
flirting with other boys, or, as years
went on, other young men, could di
minish. She was pretty'but way-
Ward—the very opposite to Richard
Cragan, who was so quiet, reserved,
and true - of purpose. After a long
series of vicisitndes, of_ pains and
disconragements, of, hopes and fears,
he at last had the ineffable happi
ness ofj giving her the kiss of be
trothment. This happened only a
short time before his father's death.
C. T. 81dTTS,
Proprietor
A clOud that at first looked no
larger than a man's hand now a •
peared in his sky.
Is this true that I've heard?
said Katy.
" What? " asked Richard,his h
falling like lead, fur ho understoo
what she meant.
" That you hate given Jacob the
handsome tavern stand your father
left you, and - taken that old grist
mill and a few acres of poor land for
your share."
"It is true," answered Richard.
" What could have possessed you
to do this?" said the maiden, with
all the beauty of her faceflying out
under the hot flushes!of indignation.
" Because I would rather have the
mill and 'earn my bread by useful
work than burden my ►eart and Hifi
with - the evils of tavern-keeping," .
I.C.\

,
,
" l'shaw I " ejaculated Kay, in no
..amiable mood. "As good' men: as
yo have kept and are still keeping '
tav rn. Are you better Wm your
father ? " _ . .
"I- do n't set up as being better
that any one, Baty," replied ' the
young man, whose face had !become
very pale ; " I only deteriline for
myself what I ought or ought not to
do. I bad not let my brother take
the ' Red Lion' it would hair° made
no difference to my faturet-I should
have sold it and Pat the money in a
farm or something else by which I
could have made a living."
Katy bit her lips, looked angry 1
and disappointed.
" I will i never consent," he re
=ed, "to Wag' up a 'lumpy - amid
the baneful asaomations of !a _tavern.
Theio are only two of us left out of
six brothers. 1 Four - of thein died
years ago—and. it is better that they
died. Oh, Katy, try to feel as I db.
The Mill has a good run of business.
I shall improve' it in many ways, and
double its capacity. We Asti det
along well enough—trust me for that,
and be, oh so mach happier! As for
me,l should have a restless ,' misera
ble, Unhappy feeling all the itime I
kept 1 a tavern and sold drinks to
your men of our place—hurting all,
and doing good to now."
Aid he shuddered at the thought
of such a thing. ,
1 ,
"As you like," answered Katy, in
a chilly voice. " Bat one thing is
.certion: I'm not going to be Cooped
up id the little , pigeon-house over at
1
the mill, yon may count on hat as
settled."
j
" I trill have it done up new all
over, l and make it the nicest place in
the world," said Richard.
,' j
" Brit you 'll never put andinto it,".
cried Katy, with a sudden passion in
her voice. .
- "en arc surely not in, earnest,
Katy" said Richard. j
"Isurely am," she replied, tossing
her head in such a way as tn hurt
and astonish the bewildered young
man.
RicLdiCragan sat quiet and still
for a long time. Then, rising slowly,
and With a quiver of ,pain running
thro' him, put out' his hand to l l Katy.
She let hers fall into his coldly, and
returning by the slightest motion the
press 're he gave. ,
" G od-night, Katy`! "
Shl t never would have known .the
voice s that of her lover. '
" Gfx)d-night ! " Not a pulse of
feeling beat in her tones.
Richard turned slowly away and
left the house; bat all the while as
ho went farther and farther j away
fro 9 101. his 'ear hearkened for her.
voice )reakin i g oat into a repellant
czy, bat hearkened in vain. 1,
It was all over with Richard and
Katy. The selfish, fickle and Wordly
.minded girl who was incapable of
such Pm as glowed in the heart of
-this young man,' broke off her en
gerent, and in less than a year
became the wife of his brother Jacob,
who installed her mistress of .the
' Red Ilea,' which had
,been , fitted
up in! the most attractive manner,
and was known for miles around as
the bast tavern in that section.
The, custom had more than dou
bled since Jacob had become ' mine
host,' and the newnwner was begin
ning to reap an abundant harvest
therefrom. , , 1
Katy had her horse and carriage,
her' .fine clothes, her personal ease
and comfort; pride and vanity were
gratified in many ways. Yet she
was not so happy as she expected to
be. Jacob was 'a different man from
,
Richard. He was harder, more sel
fish, lass scrupulous, and had, little
hesitation abent • trampling ;down
with a ruthless foot whatever ' came
in the way of his purpose. He had
no tenderness toward his wife, and
never Seemed to regard her feelings,
comfort or wishes in what he did.
Not that he was unkind to her—only
indifferent. There were no j little
confidences between them—no con
cessions on his part to her wishes
and comforts, but a silent self-asser
tion that 'left her wholly out 'of his
business affairs, while in all that
concerned her personally he seemed
to feel little - Or no interest.
No, Katy was not happy—far from
it. .A dan the years rolled past, the
I L
desire; of her heart was less satisfied.
Richard Cragan took possession of
his mill, and began refitting ; improv
ing, and setting thing's in order. All
the light of his life seemed for awhile
to have gone. But his work kept
him up. There was not many,in the
neighborhood who did not call p him
foot jßat in his own mind he never
doubted or repented.
i•
"Better so," he would often say,
" than have the responsibility of all
that "1 ---meaning the tavern. "I• take
no man's money without giving him
what its good in return. My work
will not came back to curse-1 me in
after lyears. No father or ;inother
can ever say to me, ' Where is my
boys ?—my poor, lost boy, that' was
led astray in your barroom! ' I No—
no! I will; give-the people biead,
not alpoison to consume body and
soul ! " ° I 1
The years went on. Jacob Cragan
grew rich; bat alas ! how many be
camel poor and miserable that' he
might abound in wbalth. Richard
had no ambition beyond his mill and
thirty or forty acres of land attached
thereto. His first work was to put
it in 0.,0d order,And year after year
he had 'made improvements, until he
had tihe finest mill in all the ' region
and all the custom he could possibly
attend to.
The miller did• not marry. t Katy
had been his first and only love; his
heart never'opened to another. Year
after Lyear he grew better off; but not
with the rapid increase that marked
the •fortnnes of his brother:
Bat there came a time when things
began to change—when the owner
of the Red Lion' grew less' atten
tive to business and more given to
sporting and the company of sport
ing men. A good customer at his
own bar, the evil of his work' cursed
him as well giB others. Hisleet drew
near the pit he had dug for 'other
men, and the edge was crUmbling
away from Mem._ _
""The.qtedl.Lion' is not what it
used ;to be," said one and another of
its old customers. I I

afraid," was heard now , and then,, I
half confidentially. -
.One day, more than twelve years
after Itichatd and Katy parted com
pply, the f drmer, while standing at
hi mill, wag - surprised to see hie
brother's wife coming down the road.
She wee alone.
"Why Baty I " he said, going out
to meet her, what has brought you
away down here? "
As he looked her in the face, he
saw she was , having trouble. ".Is ,
anything wrong? " he added.
"Yes, everything is wrong," she
replied, her vo ice choking with the
sentence, and I want to talk to'
you." ,
,
Richard's bachelor home stood
close to tho mill, and he went in with
Katy. "What is it? "he asked, with
kindly interest.
0, Richard! " she choked and
sobbed, and then, controlling herself,
went on: "0, Richard, I am almost
heart-broken. Things are going to
rack and ruin; and - if there isn't
some changove will not have a house
over oar headiin a year."
" Which may be the best thing
that can happen," replied Richard.
"A tavern is a curse to all who may
have anything to do with it, and the
sooner pit and, your children are
out of it tho better."
Katy hid her face, sobbing and
crying in a weak voice.
"I wish yon would talk to Jacob,"
she said, after a few minutes, looking
at Richard with tearful; pleading
eyes.
" I have talked to him again tand
again, but he only gets angry."
" Yes—yes—that'sjust I can't
say a word without his flaring up,
and—and cursing me! Oh, Richard!
It's dreadful how he goes on some
times ! "
"I know. Tavern-keeping has
been his ruin; I wish he were out of
it—if it is n't too late."
The words sent a chill through
Katy's heart..
" It - Is n't too latd for your boys, if
it is for their father," ELhard added
in a softer voice.
" Bat what ehe can Jocob do ? "
asked Katy. • "If he gives up the
tavern we must starve.' , 4 ,e
" Not so bad as that," said Richard.
"He 'll never turn his hand•ta any
thing else, you may be sure," replied
Katy.
" Necessity drives men to do a
treat. many things.": •
"It may diiie him to do WOl.BO
things than he is doing now,': an
swered Katy. " He 's is with a dread
ful set of men—horse-jockies, and—
and—gamblers, I'm afraid 1 Oh,
dear! And I'm getting worried
about Jemmy. He had trouble with
the teacher, and has been home Irons
schoOl now for three weeks, and his
father won't make him go back; says
the teacher is a cross old hunk, and
not fit for the place. And now he
goes idling about. spending his time
in the barroom or with the stable
boys. He 'll go to ruin if something
is n't done."
Richard looked very grave. There
was so little in common between him
and his brother, that they had' been
for a long time getting further apart,/
and now they-rarely met.
" The sooner this tavern-keeping
is broken up, the better," ho Said,
after a long silence: "I can 't help
ion now, Katy, bat when things come:
all to the worse I 'll do the best I can
for you. If I had Jemmy all to my
self in the mill, I am sure 1 could
make something of him. Bat as
things are, there 's no use talking
about that; Jacob wouldn't !give his
consent." •
Poor Katy went home ,but little
Comforted; and Richard bad a weight
of concern laid on ills heart that was
not to be shaken off.
Later in the day Riehard was sur
prised .again—this time by a visit
from his brother, who had not been
at the mill for over two years. Jacob
wanted him to go on his note for
three hundred dollars.
"I shall be sold out by the sheriff
if yoti do n't do it,". he said, after a
hurried statement of his affairs and
the pressing -need of money that was
upon him.
Richard was silent for a long time;
trying to see, what it was best for
him to do. q -
"Let-the tavern go, Jacob,"' he
said' at length. "It has cursed you
from the beginning, and will curse
you ten-fold in your boys, if you keep
it. A sheriff's sale, if it must come
to that, will, in my opinion, be the
most fortunate thing that can hap
pen to yon."
Jacob started u# all on fire with
anger. He shook his clenched fist
in his brother's face, and cursed him
for a mean, selfish man.
' A sheriff's sale did not-take place.
But Jacob gave up his inheritance in
a compromise with his sporting cred
itors--gamblers—and went off to a
now place, two or three hundred
miles distant, and set up another
tavern, but in a style far below that
in which ho had.kept the Red Lion.' .
Years passed, and no certain news
from his brother and family
. came to
Richard. Once or twice he wrote to
him, but got — no answer. A lonely
man, working on steadily andr_pe
tiently in his mill, the years crept '
over him and vied with the dusty at
mosphere in which he dwelt in
sprinkling his hair with grey. He
was spoken of far and near as , the
old man at the mill: and the gossips
for once had the truth when they
told the story of his disappointed
love, and the mistake of Katy.
Twenty years had gone since Jacob
Cragan sold out the 'Red Lion' and
went away. Qne evening late in No
vember, Richard sat in his solitary
home, while' the wind and rain sobbed
and sighed, without, feeling' more
lonesome and disquieted Wan was
usual with him. His. thoughts had
all gone out of his control, back thro'
more than thirty years, and the
image' of Katy, in all the freshness
and sweetness of girlhood, - stood be
fore him. He was stirred with feel-,
ings that he had believed dead and
hurled long ago. Then ,he thought
of the fatal tavern ,which-he had giv
en np to bis brother, and how it had
blighted all of ties lives.
" If I had kept it and closed it,". he
said in a kind of bitter self•accusa
tion, "it might have been so differ=
ent."

He etarted and listened. A yoice
had fetidly touched his ear. , He
rose up and moved toward.the door.
The wheel came to him igain, and
then al low, answering voice. - He
threw the door wide open, and let
the light stream out. Then he saw
two women, closily wrapped up, com
ing in from the road through the lit
. the gate.
"Richard! oh, Richard! " one lof
'them cried faintly, and tried to hurry
forward, but stumbled and fell on
the wOgiound. In an instant she
was lifted in his strong arms and
carried into the house.
The voice—how like the old voice
that had been for all these years the
sound of music in his soul! Bat the,
face, when he looked into it, alas!
how changed. Old, shrunken, hided
--iiiiiii, 1 haggard! What a wreck
What a ltransformation ! -
"I, have come hero to die, Rich
ard. I. have no right, but—"
Sobs choked the voice.
" Hush, Katy." Then,

" Dea l d i"
" Yes, in a steadier voice .
"How long since 3" . 1
";`Tot !long; a month. This is Katy,
y youngest child. You never saw
er before." '
Richard looked into the girl's face,
a the light fell upon it, and trem
led. He was back again through
h'irty years, and Katy, in the sweet
ay time of life, stood before him.,
" Dear child !" said the old man,
a he took her hand and kis s ed it
nderly.
The story that Riihard heard that
ight wits sad and sorrowful to the
ast degree. Both of his brother's
c ons gre,i, up to be miserable drunk
rds, and died in the primo of man
ood. Her eldest daughter married
heir brir-keeper, who broke her .
!part and then deserted her. She
was 'now dead. Three children were
lefr, and were' now with, the bus
band's parents , 'who were lw people
end not fit to have charge of them.
1 . "There is room here for all," said
RichardSragan. when the sad h.ikto
,
rp , was told. Ht; asked no particu
lp.rs about his brother's life and death,
strid Katy did net intrude them.
, A. week later, and the laSt of anoth
e mortal life was closed. Dark and
s ormy had been the years that pre.
Cadedl this dying day, but as the sun
drew near the western hills the clouds
,aroke suddenly, and golden rays
c= me flooding the earth and bright
e a ing•till the air. All Richard Cra
.an could do to soften the pillow on
, • hich lay dying his early and only
l.ve, was,done.
" They shall , lie mine," he said.
Your Katy shall be my Katy; and
a e children out west shall be my
c a ildren." • •
And, ' smiling in gratitndo and
w ith
content, the woman died—died
with a single draught from .a
,cup
t at love had filled for her years ago,
batcwhich she had ruthlessly pushed
ide for another that had only gall

Richard Cragan kept his word to

Now Mr. Editor, l in regard to the
'
lecture, at Ulster, it 'ovas_almost
versally condemned lay di l e teachers
present, for he sentiments advocat
ed; a few, a very fen' asked for • its'
pnblication in the lie.roaren;
And Mr. Thompson, 'who bad been
waiting, and watching for the first
breezdof popular applause, jumped
atjthe chance to spread his peacock
plumes before the world. I
reminds one of a little boy fish
ing with a pin-hooli--his eyes shine
and glisten with anxious expectation,
and at the first nibble he hauls away
with all his might, and l l gleries in his
success, no matter whether his game
bq! n gudgeon or a flounder. It it' is
a toad-fish, it is all.: the; same to Mr.
Thompson he's " cotched " a fish,
and that IS all sufficient'.
After the publication of the lecture
it was almost uniVerSally condemned
by "the very intelligent, reading pub
lic," of which Mr. T; speaks in his
article of Bi . tty 14.
Many of our besh ? our oldest; and
most experienced teacherd in Brad
ford conntyi-men L who will leave a
wholesome Lind lasting impression ori
the minds of the rising generation,
condemn Mr. Thompson's
-lecture at'
Ulster. as Irrong priciple and,
atheistical in sentiment ; Strange
that any man, an &pleated (?) one at,
least, should go to • the • heathen and
lilaertines of Greece and Rdme for a
code of morale. But there is 'no ac
counting fo taste: : Men with no
moral sense to guide them, will go
anywhere, and do anything, to 'gain
alittle notoriety.
;Mr. Thompson charges me by im
plication, with novel-reading—seems
td think m reasoning would have
been better if ‘.l had not paid se
Much attention to the "yellow-cover
ed" literatnre of the day. - Now,
Thompson knows this statement to
be absolutely false. In the controver
sy on novelireading, to which he re
fers, ho himself ¶as the advocate,
the champion of the "yellow-covered"
trash of the day, tit the files of the
irreiRTER, irlished at the time, will

and ever mean to b r e, an uncompro

kind. Ido -not go to the heathen phi
losophers 'of Greece and Rome for
my code of morals, no to that roue,
Charles Dickens, for rules to guide'
me in my irereouise with my fellOw
men.
Well, this whole contztversy, Mr.
Editor; is rot worth the paper that
us soiled carryingit on, and while
engaged it I have'often thought
of the advice a father 'gave gave his son':
*lf you et a certain animal (some
times he goes on four legs and 'some
times on tiro) it is much the Safest
Milan to give him all the read. If you
