Vraa a weather-beaten ledge
There stood aom cedar tree.
And wavering across the edga
Flew butterflies and bses ; :
Whit elover spread along a marge ,
That lead to busy mill . r
The leaping waurs caught at large
" t'pon the quiet hills ; .
The orchard yoaderlins to vltw,
Each bough with blossom rile.
When spring with patient hand anew
Had wrought It work of llle ;
. And schoolboys sought with eager face
The thicket's deepest shade,
To mark afresh the cherished place
VS' her tiny egg were lsld ;
Across th field together tared,
,. Contented so te May
A lad and laa whose cheeks declared.
What Up had done to-day ;
Aad cattle loiter down the lane
Or 1b the seajres wait, -. '
While carle milkmaid, call tu vain
And gossip by th gat ; ,
The sun sank low upon the sky
And lower yet, until
He tipped with light the tombs that U
On Cemetery Hill.
Do th winds that wander there aloa
. Orayvapors wrap about eecbston?
Or rise thorn shade to mighty tread
Ol armies throngln j overhead ?
From trailing clouds of dust emeig
Loag file of stalwart men.
And steadily their way they urge
Through meadow and through glen.
There down the mountains In the west
March veterans In gray.
Whose leet Uie euvied sod had preMed
Where Susquehanna lay ;
He; e out of eastern valleys stream
The volunteers In blue.
Who would those evil days redeem,
Th Rappahannock knew 1
Th empty cannon rattle by,
Brigade and troop have gone.
With crowded wagons hooded high
In canvass closely drawn,
By day the narrow roads they fill
And country tide control,
W here woods prolong the bugle trill
For that of oriole,
And fcarlul children bide the while
Behind the cottage door.
As women view with frown or smile
The soldiers forward pour.
So dearer through each ardent aoun
Thy noisy column, close.
And nearer 'ueatli a sober moon
Their silent rank, repose.
While sentries watch the ancient wain
That trundles round the polar plate.
Or start to bear a jealous snake
Oo rustling through tome tangled brake
The winds of morning slowly strong
Ureeu forests with the breath
Of angry rifle, as they speak
Their message of death ;
And wounded horsemen, rselllng, fall
Beside the frightened steed.
As squadrons wheel at trumpet call
W here starry guidons lead.
The wind of morning gayly (.lays
About a smiling slope, .
From which Invading thouaauds gate
Irradiate with hope.
The steep beyond, where grimly frowned
A front of men and rock,
The Union color now have crowned, -
Nor dread the threatened shock.
But over Northern heart their file
W hat Southern bands should spare .
The Hag that flamed upon her ikies
When Pakenham was there ;
The Hag that shook to Moultrie's cheer,
With British; ship abreast ;
The flag her valor helped to rear
Neath Orlraba's crest.
The sod below the orchard bough
A brush of deader dye
Shall wear when those no hate can rouw ' '
Beside each other lie. - ; .
Aad If the spot should nameless be.
Some reaper may hereafter te
The Iwarded wheat with strange Increase,
And breathe for all a wish of eace.
The winds of morning hurry o'er
The batteries below,
Nor stay to gat he. op the roar
From hostile slopes aglow
Wltb bounding shot and riven .hell.
Amid who nery tide.
With musket ready to repel,
The infantry abide.
The cannon did what cannon could.
Their thunder cease ; and then
From out the shelter of the wood
Came Pickett and bis men.
Unflinchingly they onward press
Against the savage halt,
The living ever growing less
Along the ghastly trail.
Tliev mount the ridge, Its brow they claim.
No men can further go ;
They sink like reeds within the name.
The gales of autumn blow.
And then the darkness comes to spread
Impartially Its pall
Above the unresisting dead
And mourn alike for all.
The dews descending on the grass .
Remove a foreign stain.
But home by which broad rlvcrt past
Disconsolate remain. .
For many hearth, some loving soul.
Sent forth at call of battle-roll
Te many hearths return it made
Of coffined hopes and rutted Mad.
A gamst th level .haft. of light
That oa the summit ah la .
(.ray in lit climb up the craggy bight
And bang by oak and pin ;
But, backward relied, together cling,
In dripping shadow bide,
t'ntll the run beams downward spring,
The sullen amid. .
It melts away, dissolving slow,
In asure depths withdrawn.
Revealing freshened breadth, below
Of wilderness and lawn ;
And wider yet unfolds the plain.
In radiance new born.
Of waving fields ol amber grain
And purple-spired com.
A brook by arching willows crossed
The pebbled shallow cools,
And then, from mossy ledge tossed.
Is caught la crystal pools.
Where lovers timidly escape
From peering eyes afar.
To watch th 11 thrill water shape
Anew the evening star.
Server struggles night with day,
And form of gloom arise.
To only fade beneath the ray .
That pierce crimson skies.
So trees are rocked to greener life
When winds go by In angry strife ;
Though .etna's ashes ware at tomb
Each field comet forth in brighter bloom ;
At from the ruin war could make
Again shall vine and olive break.
O, OWE TO LOVE.

"Ifow lovely!" were tbe first words
that escaped ber lips; and they were
appropriated as a fittiog complement
by a rusiily clad man, who seized
tbe little gloved band vigorously in

'Sapper's bin ready this half hour,"

begged to be shown to ber own room,
and was led op stairs to a low win
dowed bedroom, carpeted with braid
ed rags, and furnished with reddened
pine and calico counterpanes. The
luggage had been pushed in with a
meat, ejaculation: "What on earth
can a dintric' scboolma'am want with
two big trunks?" and the andible in
formation: 'I'Te filled your pitcher.
Here's a candle. The git-op bell '1!
rin at six." ' '
With as slight preparation as might
be, the overwear'ed girl homesick
to her heart 'a core crept into bed.
She awoke with a .start. The
room was quite dark; a cool, damp
mountain wind rushed throng a the
open windows. She lighted a match
and glanced : at ber watch. Only
nine o'clock, and the world still wide
awake. A burst of hilarious laugh
ter arose from the kitchen below,
where the returned fishermen were
scaling their fixh. From; the house
beyond I he orchard came the tink
ling of a piano, and a thra, sharp fe
male voice practiced gingerly a song
juet then come into vogoe:
No on to love, none to care,
Traveling alone through life', wliderne."
'My serenade," thought Louise, as
she tried in vain to recempose her
self to sleep "Could any words ex
press me better? An orphan, without
brother or sister, penniless, nearly
friendless, the one being that I loved
and adored gone from me forever.
'No one to love, 1 none - to caress,
could anything be truer bf me ' than
that?" .
.?'.
The village schoolchildren were en
chanted with their new teacher. She
was gentle and firm, interesting and
companionable. There was not a
sunny day all summer when some of
tbem did not come after school to
take her with tbem to ! Red Cedar
pond, the holiday rendezvous of the
country ronnd.
If the afternoon proved rainy, and
this juvenile escort' 'failed, Miss
Thatcher, wrapping herself in water
proof, and taking a book with her,
would go down the orchard's steep
bank to the old mill. She made
friends with Tim, the miller's boy,
and Biil Bowles, the miller, and "the
old deacon," tbe prehistoric proprie
tor of the premises, who bad not fail
ed a day these fifty yars to look in,
rain or shine, to see "if things was to
rights." !
She found a love of a corner where,
through tbe cracks under tbe great
beams, she could bear, in its grand
excitemeut, tbe grind and whir), the
boom and splash, of tbe mad flood
whose sound up on tbe bill yonder
assumed such a drowsy monotone.
"Yon be so food ot readia', miss."
said Tim, tbe miller's boy, "meblie
you'd take a shine to a earns book
we've got 'ere. There was a time
when all tbe visitors to Ked Cedar
pond cam down to take a look at it;
but it's grown rusty like. A band

say, to Howies' mill, for it wu3 left

twelve miles back."
-'And no one has called for the
book?"
"Not j it," said Tim, mysteriously
"not yit. Folks is too sup-stitious.
There be sum wbo say it never will
be called fur till 'the old deacon' lies
aside o' the cretur wbo writ it He

Up to the rafters be climbed nim
bly by certain footholds not very vis
ible, and brongbt down, with a fly
ing leap that startled Miss Thatcher
to ber feet in nervous apprehension
for his safety, a dusty volume, which
be gallantly wiped upon bis coat
sleeve and offered.
An antobiograpby, not so very old,
for its closing date was 1847. Four
hundred pages of yellow letter paper
stitched together by the dozen sheets,
and finally bonnd in a wrap of black
leather. Written in a fine, pointed
hand, difficult to read at first, but
once mastered in its idiosyncrasies
legible at ease. And having this
peculiarity: on almost every paire,
mixed in the text, were maps careful
ly drawn and dotted, inclosed in
neatly ruled parallelograms, but with
out any figures or marginal referen
ces to show connection with the
writing.
"I am one of tbe two brothers,"
the narrative commenced, "in all
points as unlike, from the moment of
birth, as Jaeob ana fcaau."
Then followed, interspersed with
the incomprehensible mp., a brief
history of an unnappr cnildnoou, un
loved as childhood could be, an ado
lescence utterly unblessed a,nd dissat
isfied; and after a page of atbeutical
tirade against tbe inequality of for
tune aud the bitter tyranny of fate,
tbe personal history developed into a
descriptive diary of travels and busi
ness connections in South America,
whether the writer had immigrated
in bis twenty-sii,th year. "
So far, and little timber, tbe manu
script bore marks of having been
read ;oages were dog-eared, and there
was an occasional ttiumo print, tiut
the stvie was so dull and monotonous.
and. the detail so lacking in adven
ture, that not one of "tbe visitors at
Ied Cedar pond" naa neen inspired
with sufficient curiosity to read the
volume to its close.
Not one except Miss Thatcher.
She read every page carefully, even
with avidity.
One Saturday morning a beauti
ful tnnny morning, for rainy days
could no longer be waited for, ibe
interest of tbe diary bad become so
absorbing Miss Thatcher was early
in ber favorite place at tbe old mill,
when Tom, with a surprisingly long
face, accosted ber in a startling whis

Miss Tbatcber turned qnite pale.
"Is it gone?'" sbe asked, faintly.
"No, miss, not gone," eaid Tim,
radiantly, well satis5ed with "the

1 '"Tim, yoa are a very good, kind
fellow," said Miss Thatcher.
She took the manuscript, and it
was then tbat. before sbe read a word,
sbe wrote in fine pencil mark upon
tbe margin of one of the sallow pastes
a page sbe turned over leaf after
leaf especially to find:
No oo to love, aoae to care.."
Hardly had she written this when
the sound of a crutch was beard on
tbe mill bridge, and . voices, and in
another moment tbe sunny doorway
of the mill was darkened by two fig
urea. . ;
There was no escape for Louisa.
Sbe arose from her love of a corner,
with tbe manuscript ia ber hands.
"I am sure you bave come for
this," she said to the old deacon.
Then sbe glanced at bis companion.
She caught tbe impression in ber
rapid glance of a .scholarly looking
young mail, with a pale forehead
and a dark mnsiache, who wore eye
glaSHCS.
"I believe I am tbe owner ot the
record left here so many years ago "
the young roan exclaimed. "But I
have no reason to carry it away at
this moment. I shall rj in the vil
lage, over tbe Sabbath, perhaps
through the week. If you have not
finished reading it, I t-ball leave the
book with you gladly."
"Ob, no," said "Miss Tbatcber,
quickly too quicklv she afterward
thought; but embarnasment, or per
haps fate, urged her to decline the
strangers politeness.
She was going, and as sbe went
an uncontrollable impulse cau.-cd ber
to turn back and say: "If you are
kindred to the man wbo wrote
tbe
book, '.will make you very sad
hope yon will feel a little love

him." ' '
At church on Sunday the claimant
of tbe Bowies' mill manuscript ap
peared in a conspicuous pew, and
Louisa Thatcher felt, even when he
was not looking at her, that his
thoughts were studying ber through
and through.
'' Oa Monday morning, as nbe trudg
ed along tbe highroad to the school
house, she met him, and he evidently
expected a recognition; but intent
upon the necessity of absolute digni
ty in a "district scboolma'am." ghe
vouchsafed nim none.
"She blushed, though," tbe young
man reflected, consolingly. That
evening he called at Mr. Seaman's
with one of tbe village dignitarie,
but the desire of his eyes "up stairs
correcting compositions," and .he did
not gain a glipse of ber.
At noon tbe next day the mother
babf class, came with Nettie's tonoU
eon, accompanied by tbe indefatiga
ble young man, who was then for
mally presented to Miss Thatcher.
From .hat time they met daily on
the way to school and the way from
school, walking slowly along the
highroad and the pretty wood path
that closed it, and giving each other
gradually, with all the trustful facili
ty of youth and irresistible attraction,
the confidential histories of their
young lifetimes. At evening he
came to see ber.
One evening the young couple were
sitting in Mr. Seaman's parlor by
tne dim lamp, aiguined by tbe mer
cenary genius or .Mrs. teamen into
"an extra," looking together over the
mill manuscript.
"I find it so dull," said Leonard
Mansfield. 'Were it not forgone
conviction, I should never be able to
finish. Tbe consideration is for your
sake, because you like it, Louisa; tbe
conviction was tbe foundation of mv
coming to claim tue record. When
my uncle's will was read seven years
ago, one clause struck my imagina
tion,
'"If my heira feel sufficiently in
terested in me to inquire into my per
sonal history, they will find my diary
in tbe old mill where it was written,
at Red Cedar pond. Personal appli
cation to be made to Deacon Treat
to Squire Wells.' The heirs noted
this direction with indifference.
"My share ot tbe legacies took me
through co I leg as my father, one
of tbe dearest and noblest men, but
never fortunate in money making,
could not afford and furnished me
with a small capital to commence law
practice. I bad more tban ooe com
punctions thought about my benefac
tor. It seemed to me a shame to ac
cept much benefits from a man in
wbotn I bad not even sufficient in
terest to acquaint myself with his
personal history. This year when I
became for tbe first time encourag
ingly established in my profession,
I determined to commence my vaca
tion by looking up the neglected
diary. I confess 1 do not find rav-
! self inspired by iu revelatien. What
did you find, dear Louisa, to kindle
yoa into the request that has haunted
me: 'I hope you will love him a lit
tle.' "I found words in it," said Miss
Thatcher, sighing so sorrowfully, as
sbe bad not done aino- sbe had en
tered her new world of love anb lov
ing. "Worlds of what, my dearest?"
asked the light hearted young law
yer. He was clasping her band in
one of bis aa be spoke, and with tbe
other be turned absently the leaves
of tbe time-stained bjok tbat lay oo
tbe table. A little bit of handwriting
tbat be knew struck bis vision; it was
the line on the margin:
'No one to love, suae te care!"."
Miss Thatcher saw it too. "Yes,
I koow," she said softly. "I wrote
it there. I could not help it Twas
tbe tribute of ray sympathy."-
lle turned to her very earnestly. 1
Something in the tremulous senwtive-j
cess if ber face smote bis heart pain
fully. Tears started to ois eyes. He ;
folded bis strong arm around beri
with a sense of infinite tenderness. J
"Let me tell yoa," she said diseo-
gaging oerseli Irom bis

thought I found, in diary.

First of
all, yon know, I was drawn singular
ly into ruppott -with tbe writer by
my own sad loneliness. I felt the
depth of meaning in hU complaint.
"Yes," she said, trembling, , "I must
confess, and I do repent, evet. in bis
complaint against Heaven. Alone
in tbe world. Sometimes tbat bap
pens." And here let it be explained to the
reader that by an accide it in the
cradle tbe writer of the diary had
been made physically repellant, and
bis sensitive soul exaggerated bis
misfortune into a barrier between
himself and the loving sympathies, of
all mankind. As for womankind, ne
knew not for bis mother died at his
birth even its maternal tenderness.
"Leonard, dear," Miss Tbatcber
went on. "you will think me,' per
haps, tbe most superstitions being;
but I think and the Idea has gath
ered some reasonable pleas I can
not belp thioking that this book is
framed as a mode of, bequest. I be
lieve the writer, your father's brother
stung with tbe bitter thought tbat
bis bard earned fortune would be
spent by those who never knew or
cared for him, devised a method by
which a part at least should be tbe
reward of affectionate gratitude."
She explained to him then ber
theory of tbe map, and ber instinct
ive construction of one particular map
which she had studied at the very
last reading in tbe old mill.
Leonard Mansfield's cheek flushed
as be listened. At the close he said:
"Your reasoning is sufficiently plaus
ible to deserve to be tested, and so
it shall be. But first promise me one
thing; promise me tbat if this mira
cle of intuition proves true, you will
be my wife to morrow. My darling,
you shall not say, 'No. " He pre
vented her, indeed, in a lover-like
way from saving anything And
silence is "yes" to love.
Tbe Ia.t day of August the whole
village was thrown into a torment of
excited curiosity. Tbe excitement
began in ooe of the twin bouses on
tbe ' Meeting house hill" at five
o'clock in the morning. MissTabitha
Batts stood in her nightdress peep
ing through the blinds of a dormer
window. She never conld tell, as
sbe declared afterward, what made
her peep.
She saw the back door of "Dick
Seaman's" open, and Louisa Thatch
er look mysteriously out. Then she
saw Tim, the miller't boy, creep
stealthily around tbe porcb with a
pickax and spade, which he gave
Thatcher, who disappeared with tbem
into tbe house. Then Tim, stealing
back as far as the lilac bashes, and
cautiously surveying all approaches,
put bis band over his mouth and
gave a low whistle. Immediately
from ibe horse shed br tbe church a
man came very quickly, and, nodding
to Tom as be passed, hastened to tbe
highroad: Miss Tabitha was sure,
although bis cap was drawn over his
face, tbat this man was tbe young
stranger tbe in village who had been
so infatuated with Miss Thatcher. .

door again and beckoned to Tom,
and whispered; and be went, around
by wav of the plum orchard, to the
mill.
A pickax and a spade! Miss Tabitba
bad cold shivers; sbe could think of
nothing but a grave. When, two
hours afterward, tbe coast being
clear, she pped across the garden
patch to the "meetin' house shed,"
ber fancy lost none of its horrors, for
there, in tbe northeast corner, was a
space of fresh turned mold.
-uiss laouna went nome, put on
ber sunbonnet, and was "down to
the village in no time."
The next excitement was at the
somnolent dwelling of old Sqoire
Wells. .Mr. Mansfield bad been
closeted with him an hour. And
when tbe squire reappeared he near
ly upset his ancient wife in the hall
way in baste to get his hat and coat,
and choked till he was scarlet, scream
ing into ber wrong ear tbat be was
going to U. "on buzniss!" Off he
went at such a novel pace tbat the
poor dame's feeble faculties aroused
themselvese to concentrate upon one
!atal remembrance: "V ben an old
horse that has alters walked takes to
ruonin' away, tnere's noindo' dam
age." Excitement third was a sealed
letter dropped by Mr. Seaman's Ezri
into tbe post-office at ten o'clock, the
hour of general delivery, directed to
tbe trustees of tbe district school,
which body, being in quorum on the
spot, opeued at once tbe resignation
of M'ss Tbatcber in favor of the high
ly recommended candidate for tbe
winter team, to whom tbey bad kind
ly given ber tbe preference.
Kxcitement fourth attracked flaxen
haired Nettie's mother, a pleasant
faced little widow, to whem Tim,
wbo bad ridden to U. and back agaia
at breakneck speed, brought a note
from the minister of V.. Bav ing be

agreeable," as be was corning to Red
Cedar Pond "in virtue of his office,"
a sentence underlined like a pleas
autry, that so upset tbe good widow's
brain as to spoil tbe count of ber one-two-three-four
take.
I,a.st of all, and the grand excite
ment of the day, was the ringing, at
four o'clock in tbe afternoon of tbo
meeting bouse bell. "Wbo is dead?''
every one asked, as tbe first few slow
strokes were counted ; but once fair
ly set going, tbe old bell tripped np
all calculations : fifty, eighty, a hun
dred ; still on ; quickly, jubilantly
ringing not for tbe dead, but for tDe
living; ringing for a wedding!
Such a scampering aa there was
up the Mil! bridge road! There was
no lack of witnesses to tbe simple,
solemn service, and of tne coming

mother's dangerous sickness and
summoning him borne by tbe quickest

venturous journey, ia the hardship
and exposure to which they were ex
posed, his companion bears bini wit
ness to his chivairic disposition, his
desire to protect tbe weak from impo
sition and bit disposition voluntarily
to assume more than his share of the
hurd work.
And now comes the contrast. Af

while Jessup went to Europe aud
made the grand tour. He visi'ed all
the great capitals from Paris to Vien

When Mark Twain, in resign
ed bis clerkship to tbe United States
Committee on Conchology, it wis
partly caused by his tender of the
following advice concerning the
treatment of the Indians in tho
West :
"I next went to the Secretary of
War, wbo was not iocliued to ree me
at all until he learned that I was con
nected with the (ioveroment If I
had not been on imporant business, 1
suppose I would not have got in. 1
asked for a light (be was smokiug at
the time), and then told him I had n
fault to find with his defending the
parole stipulations of (ieneral Lee
and bis comrades iu arms, but that I
could not approve of bis method of
fighting witb the Indians on the
Plains. I said he fought to scatter
ing. He onght toget them more to
gether get tbem together in some
convenient place, where be should
bave provisions enough fur both par
ties, and tbcB have a general massa
cre. I said there was nothing so con
vincing to an Indian as a general
massacre. If be could not approve
of the massacre, 1 said the next sur
est thing for an Indian was soap asd
education. Soap and education are
not so sudden as a massacre, but tbey
are more deadly in the long run ; be
cause a half-massacred Indian may
recover, but if you edueate him and
wash him, it is bound to finish him
some time or other. Il undermine
bis constitution, it strikes at the foiin
dti n of his being. 'Sir,' I said the
time has come When blood-eordling
cruelty has become onneeessary. 1 n
fiii't soap and a spelling book on eve
rv Indian that ravages the plains, and
let them die !'"
