FINDING A HOME.
Thilin Bartol was en odd genius, ni
we slmll see before we have dgne with
him. Well for him that ho possessed
fortitu Jo and persistence, lie asked
no man's advice touching the manner
of lifo he should pursue.
At the age of two-and-twonty rhil
ip Lartol came home from sea with
hia mind made up that he would go to
sea no more, nt least for the present.
Not as most youthi study did Philip
Burlol Study.
He did not cdst about for tho great
est sum of present comforts and joys.
In tho solitudes of his chamber, at
an obscure tavern', he sat and ponder
ed. Tho mental picturo ho drew was
old age.
What kind of old ago would h like
to arrive at? s-'
Tfiat was the question in hia mind,
and after long ti ml -serious study ho
concluded rhut ho would like for the
surroundings of his advancing years,
and he also planned what he would do
toward the desired end.
And Philip Bartol went out and
bought him a knapsack, into which he
placed a change of clothing, and then,
iu a stout, homely garb such- a garb
as toilers wear he was ready to set
forth.
Despite tho bronze upon hia skin
and tho garb of toil that clothed him,
Philip was a handsome man. He was
tall and strong, full and perfect in
every manly point, erect ana Crm.with
a magnificent head upon his broad
shoulders, and a face in which tho
dauntless light of honor and courago
enhanced an otherwise classic beauty.
"Where now, Philip?" asked a
friend who had observed his prepara
tions. "Into the country, Tom, in search of
a home."
"A home?"
"Yes, a home. That's what I am
going to try to find."
And on tho next day Philip went
away. It was on an evening in June
that Philip Bartol arrived iu the quiet
village of Ashford, and here' sought
for work. He found it upon tho farm
of a worthy man wlio was glad eneugh
to securo the service of so ablo aud
honest an appearing laborer.
The farmer was a Mr. Larrabe, and
deacon of the village church. His
dwelling was in the village, his broad
acres stretching away over the hills
and vales beyond.
Thilip worked well, and as ho work
ed ho sang. Saturdny evening came,
and tho church choir met at the dea
con's house for practice.
Would not Philip join them?
Without pride Philip. fcJt that his
voice would be a help to them, and he
joined them cheerfully.
A help indeed ! Such a voice had
ucver been heard in Ashford before
Heaven makes our native leaders, and
we recognize and adopt them. Philip
Bartol could not sing in that choir
and not lead it. Of course he sat
among tho choir on the Sabbath and
thus he reaped at a bound into the
good graces of the honest people of
that country town.
On that Saturday evening, in the
deacon's parlor, Philip heard a sound
that startled him. It was a female
voico, as clear aa a flute and as soft
and sweet ns the dulcimer of a mock
ing bird. In its lowest and highest
straina there was not a harsh cadence.
It was sweet and pure, and sweet aud
pure only. Such a voice is not only
attractive, but is an index to the in
ner being.
Philip looked at the owner of the
voice and he was not disappointed.
She was a girl just bursting into per
fect womanhood, perhaps twenty years
of age, healthiul and glowing, her
form exactly such as Philip would
have chosen for his model of female
.perfection, and her dress simple and
neat. Her face was a sunlit scene of
loveliness never so happy as when
she was singing with her friends and
the rich, brown ringlets floated down
over her shoulders, sweeping back
from her frank, handsome brow, with
not a particle of ornamentation . save
the wave and the glosa which nature
had given them.
At the first recess the doaoon, who
had been an appreciative listener, in
troduced bis new acquisition to the
other singers, and 'thus Philip found
that the girl with the sweet voice and
sunny face wag Clara Palmer, tho
daughter of the village physician.
When they resumed their places for
singing again, Philip took a place in
the center. These people were not en
vious. They recognized the quality of
this new singer, and they sought at
once to make proper use of it.
And thus Philip Bartol found him
Belf by the aide of Clara Palmer.
Those of you who have sung in a
choir, or iu chorus, know how tht
weaker lean upon the strong how
the timid depend upon the loading of
the sure and confident. Aa naturally
aa water runs down hill and aa soft
clouds float in the air, did Clara,wheu
she first heard this strong, truo voice
lean npon it. She leaned upon its
prompt and bold rythra, and upon its
rich and exact harmony. She felt that
gho was singing better than she had
ever sung before, and others may have
thought the same.
"Oh," cried Nettio Blake, when a
pause gtme in the singing, "why can't
we sing the 'Anthem of the Redeemed?'
Mr. Bnrtol and Clara can siog the
duct, I am sure."
The idea was caught up eagerly by
others, and Philip consented to try it.
The duet is one of the most beautiful
compositions ever put into'churcb mu
sic, and Philip knew it, and ho also
knew that much' of the effect would
depend" upon the organ accompani
ment. The organist was a lady, and
ho asked her if she could play It. She
said sho could try. She tried and
blundered. Philip sat down and play
ed it for her. She caught the inspira
tion and succeeded upon the next
trial.
And then came tho trial with Clara.
She had tried it often, but never satis
fied herself. Now, however, she had a
guide suro and reliable With her
own surpassing voice and ear it was
easy to keep time aud tuno with Philip
Bartol.
And' thus Philip Bartol becamo ac
quainted with Clara Palmer, and the
first great heart-throb of pure.deep joy
he had ever felt he felt when ho dis
covered that the beautiful girl looked
up to him' tenderly and confidingly.
There is a wouderous power in music
for reaching down into the human
heart and awakening the tenderer soul
borne instincts.
On tho last of. August the religious
society of Ashford held a picnic, and
Philip invited Clara to go with him.
At this picnic a party was upset up
on the lake, and two children would
have been drowned had not Philip
Bartol plunged into the deep water
and saved them.
Philip came forth drenched aud
dripping from the lake, but he came
forth'a hero, and the blessings which
werejjshowcred upou him by the par
euts and friends of those whom he had
saved more than compensated him.
"I muBt bo a sorry sight," he said,
aa he stood dripping before Clara.
"It was a'noble baptism," sho an
swered him.
And she took his hand, and there
were, tears with her smiles.
And then he was teu thousand times
repaid.
The cool days of autumn came, and
one evening Philip Bartol sought Dr.
Palmer in Lis private study.
Tho doctor was a plaM, practical
man, upright and large hnrted.
Philip stated bis busiueS fairly and
straightforwardly.
He wished to know if he might ofTer
himself to Clara.
"I have found her all I can ever
hope to gain in a wife," ho said, "and
I love her truly and well'. She is my
lirst and only love. I am au orphan,
sir, and of relatives near and dear I
have none living." My rutnio has nev
er been dishonored, unless patient,
humble toil -may be dishonor. Of
proporty I havo managed to lay up
enough to purchase a good farm ; or
at least, I could nearly pay for it. I
have a good cducatiou which I may
turn to account in the future. Touch
ing my antecedents, sir, I have re
quested Deacon Larrabe to correspond
with parties in the city with whom he
is acquainted, and for the rosult I re
fer you to him."
The good doctor waa roally troublod.
"This ia not entirely unexpected,"
he said. "1 saw the Deacon to-day,
aud ho told mo- what he had done
at your desire. Upon that point I am
satisfied. But, sir, I am very poor
poorer than you think. Fven ray
home is mortgaged, and I cannot say
that tho hoise which I drivo is mine.
My labors, here have been rather more
of love than profit. Such labors feed
the heart but do not aid to material
suhsistanco.
"My good sir," said Philip with a
pathos that was heart-reaching, "I can
only promise you this: If you will
give me Clara for my wife, and she
will consent so to bo, I will devote my
life to her welfare. I am sure I can
provide- at least a comfortable home to
start with. It has been my darling aim
to fiud home for myself a home
where love aud blesning should orown
my life. With your sweet-minded
child for my partner I believe that
home will be mine."
The doctor could not find it in his
heart to say nay, and ho told the
youth that he might go and seek
Clara.
It waa no uncertain errand beyond
this. Philip knew that Clara's heart
waa all his own he had known it for
mouths. But would she consent to
share hia humble home? '
He found her and asked ber the
question.
The great joy of life was hera when
she heard it ; and she answered it up
on his bosom heart to heart to live
for him and to love him always.
"Will you buy a farm in Ashford?"
Clara asked one day as they were
planning for the future.
"Do you think you would like the
life on a farm, Clara?"
"Any life with you, dr.rling. Oh,
Philip, you don'fknow how I love you,
atid how sweet it will be to holp you
bear the burden of life."
Tears of joy rolled down rhilip's
checks aa he held the dear one to his
bosom.
"When wo are married wo will de
cido upon our future homo. I shall
wish yon to select it."
And tho morning of tho wedding at
length arrived. Before the invited
guests had assembled Philip placed in
Clara's hands a large scaled envelope.
"It is for you to give to your father,"
he said. v-...
"Shall I givo it to him now ?" sho
asked. t
"If you look at tho superscription
you- will seo that the preseut is hardly
the proper time."
Sho looked and read :
"For Dr. Amos Palmer, as a slight
token of love and devotion from his
daughter Clara Bartol." .
She blushed and trembled, but she
waa very happy.
"Is it poetry ?" sho asked, feeliug
the crumbling paper within tho en
velope. "No, sweet love, ia it proso."
In limo tho company were assem
bled, and Philip aud Clara knelt be
fore the aged clergyman.
When the ceremony was. completed,
and tho happy pair had been duly sa
luted and congratulated, Clara remem
bered the euvelopo, aud she carried it
aud gavo to her lather.
"Clara I what is that?" ho cried.
"Open the envelope," whispered
Clara. 'Thilip says it 'a prose. I want
to see.' He says it is my gift. Oh, I
fiope it will please you.
The doctor tore open tho envelope,
and the enclosed papers were revealed.
First was the mortgage deed upon his
estate, cancelled. Next were half a
dozen promissory notes given to dif
ferent individuals at diilerent times,
with the name of "Amos Palmer" at
the bottom ; and tho word "paid" had
been written across their faces in red
ink. Last was another envelope in
which was found a check for $5,000.
Just then Philip came up.
Clara caught him by the .arm and
the old man stood pale and trembling,
aa the poor fisherman might have done
when he first saw tho genii emerging
tho bottle.
"My dear father," said Philip with
a smile, at tho sumo time winding his
arm around Clara and drawing her
close to hia bosom, "when I told you
that I was an orphan with no near rel
atives living, I did not tell you all my
misfortunes or fortune if you ple.ase
so to call it of having had landed
upon my youthful shouklers an estate,
which, when I returned from Iudia, I
found had grown to immense propor
tions. Do you wonder that I felt anx
ious? Do you wonder-that I felt a
strong desire that the woman who was
to make and blesa homo should sepa
rate me from ray outer fortune? At all
events I tbiuk I have done wisely and
well. I think I have done the best
thing I ever, did. What think you,
darling?"
"Philip!"
"No tears now, my precious wife.
We will have your blessing lather?"
The old physician struggled up from
his state of bewilderment and-caught
Philip by the baud. Then he took the
hand of his daughter, and he held the
two together.
"Blesa you, my children! Heaven
blesa and keep you forever! Philip,
but I do not fear to say that you have
gained a truo and faithful heart. Such
a daughter as she has been to me can
not mako other than a royal and de
Voted wife."
At, Philip Bartol had done wisely
well. He had gained the chief joy of
his borne lor the coming tirno, and be
knew that the true heart of hia wife
waa not to fail him whilo lifo should
endure.
An Irishman found a government
blanket recently, and rolling it up put
it under hia arm and walked off, say
ing: "Yis, that's moiue U for Pat
rick, and S for M'Carty; be mo sowl,
but tbia lcarnin' is foiue thing, aa my
fayther would say; for if I hadn't an
edication I wouldn't have been after
fiudin' me blanket."
Here ia a discription of a mean
church, w hich has a moral in it: "After
tho old pastor died the deacons went
about for a two-hundred aud-fifty-dol-lar
minister, and you can get about as
much minister for that price as you
can get psalm tunes out of a file."
A Down Easi gontleman showed
considerable alarm the other evening
when ho discovered his wife had loaned
the family Bible. When he returned
from the house where tho Bible was,
ho brought with him $1,000, which he
had placed iu it for aafo keeping.
Madame de Stael'a daughter, the
Baroness de Broglio, was an extraor
dinary beauty. Her charms mado
snch an impression on Prince Talley.
rand that in contemplating them ho
was often deficient iu his attentions to
her highly gifted mother. One day,
being with a party of pleasure on the
water, she determined to confounj
him, and put this question : "If our
vessel waa to be wrecked by a storm,
which would you strive to savo first
mo or my daughter?" "Madam," in
stantly replied Talleyrand, "with tho
many talents and acquirements you
possess, it would bo an affront to you
to suppose that you cannot swim ;L.
should thercforo deem it my duty t
save tho Baroness first."
A Frenchman went into a store at
Qticchee, Vt., the other day, and askeii
for a bottle of liniment, tho name of
which tho clerk didn't clearly under
stand, but a bottle of oinmcnt was
handed to him, and he was asked if
that waa tho kind he desired.. "Oui,
ouil" replied the Frenchman, "she bo
it, she bo it!" The next day tho doc.
tor waa called to attend tho family
where tho ointment had been carriod,
when it waa discovered that it hail
been freely used in seasoning pics, in
the place of extract of lemon for
which the the man had been sent to
the store.
A noted pearl-diver of Atlantic
City is making arrangements for a
hazardous undertaking. He proposes
to test the virtue of a newly-invented
life-preserver by being carried from
New York in a steamer to a distance
of not less than two hundred mile
from land, and there left to the mercy
of tho waves until he shall meet at
passing vessel. He will carry with
him rations for a week; also signal
lights and flags, all being stowed away
in a rubber bag about two feet square.
He is confident of success; but tho
undertaking looks, to common minds,
like a hazardous ono.
Tho Lewiston (Me) Gazette tells of
a lady in that city who,, finding no
needles in the cushion where she us
ually kept them, concluded to investi
gate the interior of the cushion, which
had been in use sixteen years. Sho
thought a few, a very few, of the thou
sands of needles which bad penetrated
the bran might have gone through the
covering, though no amount of pinch
ing and squoeziug revealed their pres
ence there, blie accordingly dissected
the cushion, and found a mine of over
four hundred needles, all in a good
state of preservation.
While Mr. Lewis Barlow, of New
port, Mass., was fishing, lately, back of
Fort Walcott, he noticed a huge sword
fish coming iu tho directiou of his
boat, and before ho could prepare for tho
emergency the fish ran his sword
through tho bow of tho boat and mado
a hole about a foot long. The boat
immediately filled with water, and Mr.
Barlow's situation was anything but
pleasant. Fortunately a man was
passing who rescued him aud towed
bis boat to tho shore.
"Mother," said little Ned one morn
ing after having fallen out of bed, "I
think I know why I fell out of bed
last night. It was because I slept too
uear where I got in." Musing a little
while, aa if in doubt whether he had
given the right explanation, he added,
"No, that wan't the reason ; it was be
cause I slept too near where I fell
out."
"Your Honor," said a prisoner to a
Paris judge, "my lawyer is not here,
and I request a delay of tho case for
eight days." "But," said the judge,
"you were caught in tho act of theft,
what can any lawyer say for you ?"
"That is just what I should like to
hear," said the prisoner, and the court
laughed, but sentenced him to a year.
An old hard-shelled Baptist preach
er, over in Boylo county Kentucky,
onco said that he had, been trying
"nigh onto forty year to get rich and
serve tho Lord at tho same time; but
he had found such a course mighty
hard sleddiu'."
Tho remark of a littlo eight year
old was iu accordance with the wish of
many people. "Mothor," said he, "I
wish I was built like a hen coop, out
of laths aud then the breeze could
blow right through me."
A rather peculiar man ia Judge
Keith, of Virginia, who, after issuing
warrants for the recent arrest of Mos
by and Payne for dueling, mounted
his horse and rode out to see the en

bystander, "I have seen some of the
