JACOB S FAULTS.
It was early Jane, in one of those charm
inz places on the Hudson river that lie
between New York and Albany. The
satisfying greennessof the landscape left
one no chance to regret the past glory of
the blossoms. It eeeuie, as if, should
one speak at al'. it ought to lie in blank
verse about the hills clapping their hands
about green pastures, about all the secret
things that have ceased to mean so much
themselves as to express in the abstract
belief in love and life and beauty and
peace.
Jacob Eaus was an inattractive ob
server of this chat ruing phae of nature.
He was preoccupied with his ow n trou
bled soul, and bcre wan but a wintry
prospect. The world points out to a man
the necessity of doing something; there
was no correspond vg need to his soul.
He had lately came into an excellent
property, and had invested a guod pro;
portion ef it in a ranch in the West. The
West was no place of his choice, but what
el:e was he to do? He was thirty-two,
and was without even a commercial train
ing. He had been bred to no profession,
and he was not rich enough to live with
rich men as a pleasure-seeker, even had
such life attracted him. He bad per
fett health, w as a good shot, a good read
er, a good walker, a good companion.
He wore a blonde beard upon his sun
burnt face, with its handsome, clean-cut
profile and hazel eyes.
This) bald nUrternen t of his case preeetrt
ed itself over and over to his mind, quite
as if he were weighing an abstract ques
tion that bored him excessively. Then
he grew irritated that hisfather should
have given him such an old fashined,
half humorous name, and exerted always
an unspoken snd only half recognized
negative tyranny on his whole life ; that
his father should have had that irrespon
sibility in the paternal relation that is
scarcely to be found outside the Anglo
Saxon race as if the Anglo-Saxon was
born armed at ail points, and with an
intuitive knowledge of fighting his way
through the world. The more Jacob ac
cused himself of impiety in accu-ing the
dead, the more obstinately the convic
tion forced itself upon him that his
thought was, nevertheless, just ; and the
implied weakness on his own tart was
in nowise consoling.
Now he wag free at thirty two a free-
i dom that metnt bondage to his own lim
J Stations ; and while he bitterly regretted
that he had no profession, he bitterly
recognized the fitct that the desire for a
larger life in no sense proved a talent
His desire was. as we have said, not one
ft r action. It was a vague desire for a
larger happinesn, such as women have
oftener than men. They should wake
like chilaren of a Christmas morning, and
find it in their stockings.
AH these reasons for gloom were ever
present to Jacob ; bat he had lately wak
ed to a more definite purpwe and a more
definite grief. His decision to go on a
ranch bad mad l.iin recognize that he
couid not leave Millu-ent Fuller, whom
be bad knoa n from her childhood, and
who had been for some years past, his
chief occopatior. He offered himself to
her. She refused him. She was the
younget-t anl the only unmarried one
of five sisters. She was twenty -two and
handiom?, traveled and accomplished.
Jacob, as he walked thr-mh a shady
road, cut a fine bouquet of sweetbriar
roes, and trimned their thorny, strag
gling ftems with an ill-hurmored energy.
He bad r.ot pride enough to gi away
w it bout asking to see her once more, j'J-t
to say good-bye, and she had accorded
him an interview that evening at half
past seven.
He walked all around the Fuller's large
h xise, past the broad piazzas, and found
her alone in a little side-porch that was
overgrown with honeysuckle vines, and
amid their pinkish yellow blossoms Mtl
licent, in a pink muslin, looked like rosy
June personified. Her father and moth
er had jusf gone to drive, she explained
ptecisely, an she took Jacob's silently
proirered flowers with a tine blush for
thanks.
' I am afraid." she said, nervously, as
she carefully picked a few thorns from
t ie stem of her boaqtiet before she grasp
el it, "that I didn't succeed the other
night in that is I mean that I am
armid that I didn't say what I meant.
"I should bs glad," said Jacob, "to
hear that yoa didn't mean what yoa
said.'
"Oh! oh! I didn't mean that T
"Well, it doesn't matter a great deal
what you meant if yoa didn't mean that.'
"I do wish that yoa would be reasona
ble. Jacob."
"I wish you wouldn't call me Jacob
when yoa have told me that yoa didn't
like the name."
"Oh! did I say that? 1 do think that
I like if, since you have no other. In
deed, Jacob, if it were not for some faults
that you have, I think I should like yoa
better than any one."
The young man sat down on a step
lower than the one the girl occupied.
Perhaps," he Mid, gloomily, "yoa
.ill disease' tbee faalu of mine; I may

suggest some to add to the list My nim
ia one ; but that U hardly my fault, and I
believe that I could change it by an act
of the Legislature or something of the
kind."
"P.ut I should always know that your
real name was Jacob," said MilHcdnt,
laajhing; "I should not mind your name,
but there are some thing that would grow
worse and worse."
"My age, I suppose.
"Yes, forona thin. Ten years is too
ranch dillerence."
"Cat yon wit! grow older."
"There wiii still be ten yer between
as.
'The general opinion is that a woman

"Ah! that U likemi-tt general opin
ions, wrong. I have made ray own ob
servations on that subject. To the close
ob-erve-, middle- ig d wnmen are y linger
even in appearance than men of their
"Where did yoo learn so much about
men ?
"Have I not been in all oar larg cities
and in most of those ia Earope? Can
one not receive impressions of strangers
as they pass, and accumulated impressions
form opinions? Men's eyes grow dull,
and tbe lines of the mouth bard, and
their faces heavy and meagre ; while
women's faces are still full of benevo
lence though their figures have lost their
grace and their complexions their deli- ,
cacy. Still, those women are young." ;
"Youth is then a.condition of the mind, j
wise Sibyl?" J
"Certainly, it is the capacity of receiT- !
inz new inipresuons, meeting one s fei-
low-beings with sympathy, and under
taking new enterpiises."
"Some people must then be born with
more capacity for youth than others."
"To le sure."
"AnI I, who have by sex and nature
less youth than you, and yet have wasted
ten years more of it, must sooner become
like those horrid middle aged people."
' I am not speaking of you.'
Vi... n . . , . . .... 1-! r. . i f rn TTaw .
icconsecjuent ! I sat dow here to listen j
to yoa taik about me. Let us begin over ;
a T!in You have said that vou do not ,
like hit name and that I am too old."
"OMJ.er.hr' I
"Yes. I am too old, and am to grow j
older. Yon have defined youth what
is age ?"
"Oh! it is the enemy of the human
race. Let us never grow old, Jacob."
"Ah, no, Millicen', let ns never grow
old, so only that we may stay young to
gether," be Said, flushing aud edgings
little nearer to her, while he loked up
in her face with a half-humorous smile.
Eat she drew away farther front him.
"Well!" be continue.! despondeatiy,
"and what is my next fault? Come! say
it"
"You do not believe in friendship be
tween men and wotne.'. - My own belief
is that no woman can expect to be rea
sonably happy unless her husband can
have a friendjhip for her."
"You seem to have thought a good deal
about marriage even if yoa are so averse
to it."
Millicent, with heightened color, made
a movement to rise. Jacob stretched up
both hands and, taking hers, pulled her
back gently to her sea'.
"Yoa are so ru le,"bhe continued "that
is another fault I should want my hus
band to be polite to me. It would make
me happier than almost any thing."
"And I should want to have the liber
ty of quarreling with my wife whenever
I chose, and making it up again ; but I
suppose that you would like a suave idiot
like that Hastings."
"There again," said Millicent, in an in
jured tone, "how ridiculous yoa are !
Ynti are svi tealons. snd about nothin?.

The recollection quite overcome Jacob
with anger. He roeean l walked a few
paces across the law a and then returned.
"Well ! I am named Jacob. I am old.
I am rude, and I am jealous. Oh ! yes,

there are seven deadly sins. Not that I

"Yes," said Millcent, gravely, while
she put soine of the sweet brier roses in
her breast
"I am impatient lo bear. I sit here
only for that purpose. The sixth fault
Come!"
"That yoa don't care for women's so
ciety." Jacob rose and folded his arms, facing
trvfc girl, and looked long at her. Then
be threw back bis held and laughed
heartily : "Upon my word ! that is a
fault! Have I not liked your society ?"
"Yes, but that of no other woman."
"Well, upon tuy word Talk of jealousy.
I never aaw it's apposition so set forth.
Do yoa wish me should yoa w ish, I
ought to say, your husband to be fond of

"I don't like a man's man," said Milli
cent evasively,
"I am more edited," said Jacob, seat
ing himself again, "this evening than I
ever was in iny life, Why do yoa not
like a man's man V
"Because," said the girl, becoming a
little nettled at her companion's search
ing look, "I know well enough bow that
works."
"I am waiting for information," said
Jacob.
"A man' man aoon wearies of the wo
man be loves, and be seeks men's society
constantly. Men influence men more
than women do. 1 should never be jeal

paused.
"I am still listening," he said.
"For the best, men understand women
but little, the men's men grow at least to
understand them not at alii. Men's men
become at last to be a world quite apart.
Their wives have no excuse for being, ex
cpt insomuch as they contributed to
their comfort."
"Millicent, do yon say that women are
younger than men? I d n't believe that

"That yoa are so dreadfully masculine."
"I plead guilty. The loses are Tosy,
the briers are thorny, the grass is green,
and I, Jacob Ejus, the man who loves
you, am masculine, Alas! alas! Is that
more my fault than my name ? You, be-
aides, are immensely feminineand I find
no fault with that. Is it fair?
Jacob's spirits were rising ; Miilieent'a
perceptibly falling.
"Yes, it is fair that I, being feminine,
should object to your being masculine.
The two are opposite. If nature has
made a mistake there, I am not responsi

and you will forget what I did when you
have found.that paragon who loves yoa
without jealousy, all other women and
no men ; who ia polite and credulous and
effeminate. I am none of these but I
love you passionately,"
He tried to grasp her hand?, but she
drew them away, saying excitedly :
"And this is your greatest fault If
yoa loved me tenderly I might trust yon;
but yoa love me, as you say, passionate
ly, and I, who have looked on at life and
reflected, have seen that of all traps and
pitfalls this is the greatest. Talk of the
fVu'sff du diatU of girls, that flits almost
with the bridal flowers, that is delusion
compared with the passion of men ; and
yet in choosing freedom rather than
binding one's self to a delusion, you need
not tell uie that I choose w hat is only
negative. It is so discouraging. You
have such hopeless faults; and I shall
never like any other man tnan you,
Jacob, I know ; and so I shall never mar

that I shall marry," he said, watching
wind and weather. I might be ill; and

is covered by my unfortunate name, that
sounds so homely and simple and good.
So being sick and lonely and wretched,
a ad grateful to her, I know tint I should
be weak enouirh to marry her. I know
that I should."
"Yes," said Millicent, throwing down
beside her the bouquet of swettbrier,
wi'h a passionate gesture, "that's just
what a man's love means. I shall be so

nymph, her pink dress telling white in

Jacob came up, somewhat confused at
the new situation.
Mrs. Fuller spoke first. "Why, Milli

expected sympiathy in his heart Tor bis

ler's treating him as a stranger in calling
hiru Mr. RadV. The good gentleman had
felt no svmpathT whatever for him on
accoant of Millicent's refusal. It'had ar-
pea red to hirn a great impertinence that
! be should propose to take his daughter
so far away.
Jacob stood silent Millicent took her

daughter's affection for himeif to the oM

situation to Mrs. Fuller, who ws not un- j
prepared when her daughter, tnrnirnrto j
