SHERIDAN AT CEDAR CHEEK.
BY HERMAN MELVILLE.
"Shoe the steed with silver
That bore him to the fray,
When he heard the guns at dawning,
Miles away;
When he heard them calling, calling
Mount, nor stay;
Quick, or all is lost;
They’ve surprised and stormed the post,
They’ve pushed your routed host.
Gallop 1 retrieve the day.
-House the horse in ermine—
For the foam-flake blew,
While'through the red October
He thundered into view,
They oheered him in the looming,
Horsemen and horse they knew.
The turn of the tide 'began,
' The rally of bngles ran,
He swung his hat in the van,
The electric hoof-sparks flew.
Wreathe the steed and lead him—
For the charge he led
Touched and turned the cypress
Into amaranths for the head
Of Philip, king of riders,
Who raised them from the dead.
The oamp (at dawning lost),
By eve recovered—forced,
.Bang with laughter of the host,
As belated Early fled.
•'Shroud the horse in sable —
For the mounds the heap!
' There is firing in the valley,
And yet no strife they keep;
fit is the parting volley*
It is the pathos deep.
There is glory for the brave
Who lead and nobly save,
.But no knowledge in the grave,
Where their nameless followers sleei
The First Quarrel.
[From Once a Month.]
“Bakes alive! what a looking room! I
"'declare, George Graham, if you arn’t enough
to try the patience of Job! I don’t believe
there is another woman living has to bear
What I do! Who’d ever think that I came
in here after breakfast and worked a good
hour putting things to rights! And now.
what does it look like?”
Tears stood in the little wife’s eyes, and
her face lengthened out till you would have
thought she had just heard of a death.
_“What is it, Bnsie? What’s np now?
What does what look like? And Mr. Graham
turned carelessly, and good-natoredly, too
from the double-leaded article on Recon
struction, which he had been so earnestly
reading that though he had heard, he had
scarcely comprehended a word of the com
plaint.
“That’s just like you, George! If I were
to tell you the house was on fire, you’d onlv
look round and say, ‘where, Susie ?’ ”
He laughed; a hearty laugh it was too,
clear and ringing; a laugh that many a
wife would have treasured up as men do
pearls and precious stones.
It nettled Mrs. Graham, and she said
sharply, “If you’d open your eyes, you’d
see what does what look like.”
He rubbed them briskly, and then peered
around. “I declare, Susie, I don’t know
■what-you mean. The. carpet is swept, the
furniture dusted, the lamps trimmed, the
£re bright—what is it ?. I can’t for the life
of me see anything wrong.”
“You can’t! No, of course you can’t! See
there, and there, and there, and there,” and
•she pointed rapidly, her emphasis growing
more incisive each time, to his heavy over
heat which lay in a tumbled mass on the
lounge; to his hat which was lodged uncere
moneously in the middle of her work bas
ket; to his rubbers which were roasting on
the stove hearth, and to his gloves which
had demurely settled themselves on the
mantel-piece.
“X see, I see, Susie, but then you know
I’m a careless, good-for-nothing sort of a
fellow who never had any bringing up, and
you r. ust make allowance, my dear,” and
tossi> g the paper on the table, he caught
her und and drew her gently upon his lap
and said soothingly as one might talk to a
fretful child, “don’t be cross now, pet,’cause
I did’t mean anything bad, yon know. Pat
up your lips and let me kiss away that pout.”
But the lips were not put up to meet the
touch of those bearded ones. Instead, they
assumed rigidity, squareness, immobility.
11 Must I have the lecture first, wifey, be
fore I can either give or claim a kiss ? Well,
•out with it then. The sooner Tm whipped
the sooner it’ll stop hurting, as I used to
say to the boys when the schoolmaster was
after me with the rod of correction. But,
Susie.” and here his tones, which had so far
been jocular, assumed a touching earnest
ness, “I don’t like this being soolded every
time I come into the house. I’ve borne it
so far patiently, but- it is wearing out my
temper. I shan’t be able to hold it much
longer, I’m afraid. I shall scold back, and
then we’ll quarrel, and then—our home will
be no home, but—shall I sayik, Susie?—
what too many homes ate; nothing more or
less than cheap editions of hell itself.”
“But, George, how can I help it ? You do
try me terribly.”
’ “How, Susie?”
“Why, by never putting vour things
where they belong. I was brought up to
have a place for everything and everything
in its place, and it does worry me to come
in from the kitchen, tired and hot, and then
find the sitting room looking so. - I like to
have things heat and orderly,”
“But, you know ; we can’t have all we
want in this world, Susie, and is it worth
while for you to fret your life away because
I can’t always thtnk to put my gloves in
.my pocket, and hang up my coat and hat,
andleave my rubbers in the entry ?”
That word “£ret” was an nnfortnnate one; -
it stung her, and she said, bitterly; “But
yen never think, George. You .come rush
ing in like a whirlwind, and yon toss your
■ things pell-mell' every which way, and if
-they’re' ever picked np and put in their
places, it is I, and not yon, that do it, and
I’m getting tired of it. I can’t and I won’t
standit any longer.” . . .
“ What will you do, Susie ?” There was
_ severity in his tone now.
“ Do? Why,; I won’t stand it. I won’t
be any man’s slave;” and the black eyes
flashed defiantly,
“Did I ever ask you to be my slave?”
The man’s eyes were flashing now.
“Bat what else am I? I toil like one from
morning to night to do up the work and put
• things in order, and you come in and undo
it all, just as I’ve got through. Itis enough
to make a saint swear.”
She was so excited now she hardly knew
what she said;
“And what am I?” he retorted. “If you’re
a slave, I’m one quite as much. Who
Paras every cent that’s brought in? Who
pays the rent, and buys, the fuel, and lays
in the provisions? Who clothes Mrs.Sosah
Graham, I’d like to know?”
“She earned her own clothes once,andean
do It again, George Graham, if it is 'neces
sary, and no thanks to yon, or any other,
man.”
“It is a pity she hadn’t kept on earning
them herself. Then she’d never had to pick
np and put away her husband’s and he—•
well, it wouldn’t begentlemanly to say it”—
“Out with it, sir. Never spoil a joke for
relation’s sake.”
“And he wouldn’t have caught a Tartar,
Trat been a happy old bach. Lord, how I
wish I was!”
“Are you in earnest, sir?”
“In earnest, madam.”
“Then perhaps we’d better part.”
“Part it is, then.” .
“The sooner the better, too.”
“My sentiments exactly, madam.”
“To-day.”
“Why not!”
“Where will you go?”
I'll l shan't go, I shall stay here,”
THfl DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.---PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER if iB6>6.~fi£il*Lß SHELT.
‘Bnt yon don’t mean to say you’re going
to turn me out of house and home! I never
would believe that of you, George Graham.”
, It iBn’t I that’s turning yon out. You’re
turning .yourself but. Suppose you stay;
you’ve no money to pay the rent, or ran the
affair. It costs something to keep the house,
I can tell yon. I’ve found it out by bitter
experience.” -
■ “Bnt where can I go? You know I
haven’t a relative left me.”
; “You should have thought of that before
you proposed parting. ’Tis not my business
to look yon np a house.”
“I don’t knew whose else it is. You
might do as much as that for your own
wife.”
“For my wife I’d do a great deal more.
But yon are not my wife any more; only
the legal tie remains to be severed, and I’ll
apply for a divorce at once.”
“And disgrace us both ?”
“Bnt what can a fellow do? Now I’ve
got used to having a home I want one, and
once free from yon, there are dozens of girls
that’ll be glad to take np with me, careless,
good-for-nothing scapegrace as I am.”
“And a pretty life they’ll lead yon, too.”
It can the worse than what you’ve led
me the last six months. Zounds! hut I’ve
been a fool to bear it so long. Fret, fret,
feet, from morning till night. Thank
Heaven, it is all over at last!” and he
whistled gayly. j
“Yon seem glad to get rid of me, sir.” 1
You’ve made me glad,madam.” He put
on his overcoat, drew on his rubbers, and
gathered np his hat and gloves. Was he
really-going and without his dinner.
you be ready to leave, ma
name or<^er a carriage any hour you I
"Yon are an unfeeling wretch, George I
Graham; yon are, and that’s the truth. Yon
might, for decency’s sake, give me till to- I
morrow, to pack up my things and decide
what to do.” I
“Yon can have a week, madam, if you I
wish, I thought you were in a harry to go.
y ° u “ a y have a week. Meanwhile,
I’ll go to a hotel.” ’ I
“ have the whole town talking about
us! Why can’t you stay at home just as
well.” I
“Because I never like to be in anybodv’s I
way.” J
“ But it is your own house, and—and—if
yon ever had any regard for me, you’ll stay
till—till I’m gone.” Her voice was not
quite as steady as it had been.
“Well, I’ll stay then. But not now. I’ll
come back to-night. You needn’t sit up for
me, Mrs. Graham. It’ll be late when I get
in, and—l’ll take the spare chamber till
you’re gone.”
The front door closed after him in another
moment. He was gone; gone without his
dinner; gone, and not coming back till—
nobody knew when, and then goto" up
stairs to sleep alone. They had quarreled.
They had as good as parted. They would
be divorced. He could get another wife and
bring her home here, and she—she would
have to go alone into the cold, dreary world
and earn her own living. She didn’t know
enough about divorce, poor thing, to think
of alimony. And all this beoanse he ne
glected to leave his “things” in the hall, and
and she found fault with him for the said
neglect! Careless husband! Fidgety wife!
And because be wascareless and shefidgety
they must live apart!
Mrs. Graham looked about her just then.
Everything was neat and orderly. There
was nothing to worry her! Nothing?
There was everything. And she sat down
and cried; she who had been so resolute
and defiant only ten minutes before. Bat
that resolution, that defiance had been born
of anger, and the anger was all gone now. I
How sorry she was she’d been so cross to
him, for she had been cross, real cross
wickedly cross. What if he had tossed his
things any and every way! It was a man’s
trick, and—and—here she sobbed outright I
he never had a mother to train him. Poor I
fellow, he’d been knocked around horn pil- I
lar to post all his life, till he got married I
and now he would have to knock around I
again, for of course he couldn’t get mar- |
ried right away; no, he would have to get a I
Housekeeper, and sne’d worry the life out
of him, and when he did get married could
be find one who’d love him as she had and I
did, yes, did!—the love was there yet, swell- |
ing np and overflowing. . I
She went into the kitchen, hardly know- I
ing why, driven, perhaps, by the force of I
babit. There stood the table, laid for din
ner, and so neatly; the cloth white in its
creases, the plates and glasses shining
brightly; the knive3 and forks polished to
almost Bilver whiteness. She gave it one |
look, and mechanically opened the stove I
oven. The chicken was browning nicely •
George liked roast chicken better than a
fricassee, so she had cooked it that way. I
The the turnips were dancing I
merry jigs in the pot, and the tea-kettle
was softly humming. The mince pie stood I
on the hearth warming itself quietly, and |
exhaling a spicy odor that was tempting I
even to a dyspeptic stomach. j
“Such a nice dinner and no one to eat it! I
If wish—l wish—l—l hadn’t been so cross I
to him. I began it, and kept it up, I
too; he wasn’t cross first; he held out
till I made him mad; I wish he was I
more carefn], thoughtful—such a dear, good I
fellow as he is about everything else. Never I
scolds when bills come in like Hannah |
Benton’s husband. Mercy! I don’t know I
how she does live with him. An he’s al- |
ways giving me change; too. I never hard- I
ly have to ask for a cent; Idon’t know what I
I should do if I had to: manage: as Carrie I
Sanford does to get a dollar out of Jim, If I
I had such a man, I’d leave him, if I had I
to work my. fingers to the bone to earn my |
own living. And ‘he’ wants me to have a I
girl and be dressed-up ail the time, and I
read, and practice, and go out with him, I
and there’s poor little May Miller that
never sits down once a week, but is forever I
stewing in the kitchen, and never a word I
of thanks, Joe always wondering why I
she don’t do more than she does. I
He ought to go to a treadmill himself And I
‘he’ never tastes a drop of liquor, nor
wouldn’t for the world, and there’s Nelly I
Grey’s sot of a husband coming home
beastly drunk every night of his life and
scaring the life out of her. I’d see him
drowned before I’d live with him. And ‘he’
never smokes, nor chews, while yon oan’t
go into any body else’s house hardly with
out standing over spittoons, or being suffo
cated with somebody’s pipe or cigar. Dear
me! I should die in a week if I had to live J
that way. And ‘he’ is always so good-na- I
tured, too, never gave me a cross word till
to-day,” but here she broke down entirely, J
sob after sob tearing away in her throat and
threatening to choke her.
The paroxysm was too violent tolast long. I
As it subsided, she dashed off the tears that I
flooded her cheeks, wiped'her eyes, bathed
her face thoroughly. Then she stood a few
minutes as if gathering np resolution, a 1
oalm, beautiful expression playing about her I
lips.
The words of her old pastor had come I
back to her all at once as she sat there weep- I
ing. - The words he had spoken to her the I
evening before her marriage. “My little I
girl you have made a good choice. George I
Graham,yonr promised husband, is a yonng: I
man of excellent principles and good dispo- I
sition, and will do his best to make yon I
happy. But he is not perfect. No man is. I
And you must be patient with, his failings
—always patient. One cross word leads to'
another, and that to another, till by and by
there’s a quarrel and then, good-by to hap- !
piness! Don’t scold, but coax; don’t drive,’,
but lead. And if you ever feel tired with'
him, think how much worse it might have
been. And always, always, remember that
he is no saint, but only a man; a man, mor
tal and weak,. Be it your work, little girl,
to make hiS earthly home a happy one, and
to lead him onward and upward towards
that holier one not made with hands.”
“Dead; yet speaketh,” she said solemnly
I as that long, earnest talk dame back to her.
“And— and, PU doit any way. If he won’t
forgive,if he won’t agree to begin again and
try it over, why—Oh, Inever, never can go
out alone into the world, and see him mar-:
ried to another woman. Oh, I’ll never say
another word, I won’t not one, if lie has
every chair piled to the ceiling with coats
and pants, and the floor waist deep with
boots and rubbers. I don’tsee what made
me speah so cross to him. I’ll get a girl
to-morrow; somebody that can cook better
than I, and I’ll keep out of the kitohen; and
whenever he comes in Til take his thing s
myself and take care of them. What m ust
he have thought of me to hear me sav such
dreadful things!”
And filling np the stove with coal, drain
ing the water off the vegetables, and leav
ing the oven door open, she ran up stairs
aDd put on her sacqne and bonnet, seized
her muff and glove, and, locking the door
after her, went out.
It was bitter cold, but she did not mind it.
The wind was driving the sleet right into
her face, but she only drew the thick veil
closer over her swollen eyes and hurried on.
It was slippery as glass; bnt her gaitered
feet ran along as if sharp-shod. She had bat
one thought; to see George again, tell him
how sorry she was, and bring him back to
dinner.
With a shout and. a "hurrah!” a little
fellow came coasting down one of the cross
streets just as she had set her foot on the
curb-stone. The sled whirled, zigzagged a
moment and then ran her down. She
screamed involuntarily, and, aB she fell, pnt
cut her hands imploringly. Some one
clasped them, held thsm tightly a brief spell,
and then gently assisted her to her feet.
Some one spoke to her. Some one said
kindly, tenderly, lovingly, “Are yon muoh
hurt, Susie?” Some one drew aside her
veil. Someone looked pityingly into her
eyes. Who was it, think yon ?
“Oh, George! Pm so glad|yon happened
here. I was going down to the office after
yon.”
“Were yon, Snsie? And I was coming up
to the house to see yon.”
He looked about him a few seconds, and
then said, meaningly, “Just half way and
we met”
The next minute he was tucking her little
hand under his elbow and guiding her b3ok
home, walking slowly, cautiously, and ask
ing at every few steps “if she were sure she
were not much hurt,” and adding, “he’d
• end the little rascal to jail if she were,” to
all of which she said earnestly, “ Not any
hardly; only frightened a little; he wasn’t
Lo blame for the sled turning; I’m so giad
we met.”
Inside the front door, before hardly the
lock had sprung, he caught her to his heart,
and as he held ner in the warm, doss em
brace, he kissed her passionately.
“What did yon think of me, darling, for
talking so to you ? yon don’t know how
sorry 1 am.”
“What did you think of me, George,scold
ing you as I aid; if you only knew how I
cried afterwards.”
“But I plagued you dreadfully, I know,
Susie. You’re so neat,and I’m Buch a care-
■c.-.s scamp.”
“It was I who plagued you, George. I’ve
no business to be so neat as to make myself
a fossy, cross old thing, and I won’t any
more. I won’t say a word, George, if you
turn the house topsy-turvy every time you
come in. Oh, George, to think of onr quar
reling so before we’ve been married a
year!”
“And you running away to leave me here
alone. Oh, Susie, I should have run after
you before morning.”
“It was awful—the way we talked to each
other. Can yon ever forgive me?”
“Yes, indeed; I forgave yon ten minutes
after Ireached the office; though going down
there, Susie, I did wish, almost, that you
were a little sloven, instead of such tldv bit
of a lady.”
“I don’t wonder, George. It’s enough to
make a man hate the very word neatness,
v. hen his wife is forever scolding about it so.
But do you know what Pm going to do? I’m
going to hire a girl to cook, wash, iron and
scrub, and I’m going to meet yon at the door
every time yon come in, and put away all
yonr things for you, so that we’ll both be
suited. The house’ll be in order, and you
wont’t be bothered helping about it.”
“The deuce yon will, Snsie! Pardon, pet,
I didn’t mean to say it. Have the girl,l al
ways wanted you to; bnt hang me if I am
going to have such a doll of a wife to pat
eway my things, and me a great six-footer.
No, no. You may meet me, and kiss me,
bnt—why just see how nice I can do it when
I’ve a mind to,” and releasing her from his
f tided arms, he deliberately took off hat
and overcoat and hang them np by plum
met and line, and then kicking eff rubbers
be set them squarely under the rack.
“Only, Snsie, if I onoe in a while forge!!”
“I won’t scold, George; no, I won’t, if I
have to bite my lips till they bleed to keep
the ugly words in.”
“And when I see you biting your lips,
Susie, I’ll know what’s up, and hurry and
put things in their places, and then wipe
the hurt off just so,” and he pressed his
bearded chin close to hers so smooth, and
soft, and sweet, and took a dozen or so warm
kisses. /
“And now pnt yonr things away, wifey,
and let’s have some dinner, for I’m as
hungry as a church rat.”
“I’m afraid it’s all dried up by this time,
but I’ll hurry and make you a nice enp of
coffee.”
“Yon know what the good book says,
Susie; better is a dry morsel”—
“Iknow, Iknow, George.” and turning
back again she took his right hand and lay
ing it tenderly on her heart, said tearfully,
“Help me to be good,”
“We will help each other, wife, and Heav
en shall help us both.”
And so ended the first quarrel. God
grant It may be the last!
