"Good bye, Martha. God help you! I
thall be back in three days at the farthest"
The hardy White Mountain pioneer, Mark
Warren, kissed his yonn wife, held hia two
years old boy to his breast for stnotnenfc.and
then shouldering the sack of corn which was
to be converted into meal at the rude mill,
forty miles away, trudged on through the
wilderness.
JIartha Warren stood at the door of the
log cottage, gazing out after the retreating
form of her husband. An angle of the dense
shrubbery hid him from her view, but still
she did not return to the solitary kitchen ;
it looked so dark and lonesome there, she
shrank from entering, or perhaps the grand
wblimity of the view spread out before her
attracted ber attention aod thrilled her soul
with that nameless, unexpected something
that we all see when standing thus face to
face with the works of His fingers.
The finest and most satisfactory view of
the White Moan tains is that which presents
itself from what is now the town of Bethle
hem, on the road to Littleton and Franco-
tiia. ML Washington, tne king amcng
princes, is there seen in its proper place -the
centre of the "rock-ribbed" range tow
ering, bald, blue and unapproachable.
Tar up in a wild clearing.close by the tur
bid waters of the Amtnonoosoc, was the cot'
Uge situated a place wild and aerie enough
for the nest of an eagle, but near to the
heart of Martha Warren as the home where
fbe had spent the happy days of her young
wifehood. When she had turned from many
a patrician suitor, in the fair old town of
Portsmouth, to join her fortunes with the
f&S and perfect understanding of the trials
that lay before her. She would walk in no
pith of roses for years to come ; much of
life must be spent in the eternal solitudes,
where silence was broken only by the wild
winds of the forest, the shriek of the river,
the sharp rocks, or the dismal howl of the
red mouthed wolf afar in the wilderness.
Ienccessary absence of her husband she.
dreaded most. It was so very gloomy to
t' up her lonely fireside, with the con
sc'onsness that there was no human being
nearer to her than the settlement of Lord's
Hill, ten miles away through the pathless
woods.
There was little to fear from the Indians,
although a few of the scattered tribes yet
roamed over theae primeval bunting ground.
They were mostly disposed to bo friendly.and
Mrs. Warren's kind heart naturally promp
ted her to many acts of friendship towards
them, and an Indian never forgets a benefit.
The purple mist cleared away from the scar
red forehead of the dominant old mountain;
the yefiew snn peeped over the rocky wall,
and Martha tarnel aivay to the performance
ot her .simple domesticlatic. The day was
a long one, bat it was towards evening, and
the gloaming comes much sooner in these
solitudes than a ay other plaoes. The sun
ligLt faded out of the unglaiel windows,
though it would illuminate the distant moan
tains for sometime yet; and Martha went
on in the scanty garden to inhale the odor
of the sweet pinks on the meagre root she
lad brought from her old borne.
The spicy perfume carried her back in
memory of those days away in the past.ppent
with kind friends, and cheered by bright
yonng hopes. But though the thought of
hunt and kindred made her sad, not for a
nwB-ntdi l she regret she had chosen it.
AWoed in thought she had not observed
absence of Charlie, her little boy; now
she mw with vague uffeaainess that he had
Mt the Ud of peppermint where he had
len playinir, and was pot to be seen. She
his name, but only echo and the roar
tf thew,ill,;n river replied. She flew back
to the house, the faint hope remaining that
be might have returned thither for his pet
litten; but no, the kitten was mewing at
the window, but no signs of Charlie.
W ith frantic haste she searched the clear
'5. but without success. Her next thought
the river! Black as the night, save

'Charley, Charley!"
The child's voice at some little distance
Kpaei She followed the sound, and to
nf -"irrow saw the boy his golden hair
rosy cheeks clearly defined against the
Purple twilight sky standing on the very '
eofthe huge, douched rock, some ten
feet from the shore, out in the sweeping
"t---oi of the river !
Th'b ruck, called by the settlers "The Pul
V was a good situatiou for castin? fish
Z lines, and Mark Warren had bridged the
"arrow chasm between it and the shore
b , couple of hewn logs.
Aiiured by some clusters of flaming fire
d growing on the side of the Pulpit,
Uurley had passed over, and now stood
e, regardless of danger, holding out the
Eoral treasure to hia mother. Martha flew
Tr the frail bridge, and the next instant
Wi her child in her arms. Joyful because
f e hadfouod him uninjured, and mentally
K.viog that the logs should be removed
to prevent further accident, Rhe turned to
retrace her steps, hut the sight that met her
yes froze her with horror to the spot.
Confronting her on the bridge, not six fee t
I'tant, was an enormous wolf, gaunt and
"'"J with hunger, his eyes blazing like live
through the mist and gloom, his hot
wid breath scorching the very air she
breathed.
A low growl of intense satisfaction stirred
e lr, answered i.w tha nnl nf Afro
the
ni kind, belonging to the pack ; in anoth-
oomentthey would be upon her 1
ft ithout as instant's thought of the con
Mquence Martha obeyed her first impulse,
ad struck the logs with her foot, exercising
au nermad strength in the blow. Th fV;
fabric tottered, and the soft earth gave wav,
there was a breath of wild suspense, and
men tne bridge went down with a dull plung.
into the waters beneath 1 The sharp claws
of the wolf had already been fixed on the
scant vegetation of the rock, and beheld on
a moment, struggling with ferocious strength
to gain a foothold, the next he slid down in
the chasm, uttering wild howl of disap
pointed rage.
Martha sank on her knees and offered np
a iervw prayer ot thanksgiving for her es
cape; but simultaneous! with the heart-
telt Amen, there came a dreadful recol
lection. The bridge formed the onlv link be
tween tho Pulpit and the main land, and that
was severed I True, she was not more than
twenty teet distant from the shores of the
river, but she might aa well been thousands
ot miles out ' in the ocean. The water was
deep and it ran with almost inconceivable
rapidity, forty or fifty feet below her, over
rocks so sharp and jagged that it made her
shiver to look over the brink.
Her only hope was in her husband. Should
he return at the expected time they might
still be alive ; but if, by any accident he
be detained beyond the time ! She closed
her eyes, and besought God Tor protection
and help.
Cold and hungry, and drenched by the
mist of the river, Charlie began to cry for
home, bhe could h ar anything better than
iaiv one wok on ner own garments to
fold around him, and held him to her breast
and sang him the cradle songs which had so
often soothed him.
But the fierce howls of the wolves and the
sullen thunders of the river, filling his little
heart with terror, all the long dark night
through, he clung to her neck, slecplessly
crying to go home to papa
Day dawned at last, the pale sun swim
ming through the sickly sky, the pallid fore
cast of a fltorm. Weak and faint from cold
for summer is no bearer of tropical smiles
in this inhospitable clime Martha paced
back and forth the narrow limits of the rock.
No one came the faint sun declined it
was night again. A cold fog sank down
over the weaotain, followed by a drizzling
rain, which beiore morning changed jnto a
perfect deluge. The river rose fearfully.
foaming milkwhite down the gorge, filling
the air with a shuddering roar, like the peal
of an imprisoned eartnjuaKe. """"
The day that followed was ao better, only
rain. and ashen-white mist not a ray of
sunshine.
A new fear rose in the heart of Martha
Warren. This turbulent stream must have
swept away the bridge over which her hus
band would cross on his retarn, aid he
would be detained for days, may be for
weeks.
She gave up all for lost Strongly and
fearfully was she tempted to fold her child
in her arms and plunge into the cauldron
beneath, and thus end her fear and doubt !
It would be better she thought than to suf
fer that slow, painful death of starvation!
But something held he back God's curse
was upon those who do self murder.
Towards night, a lost robin, beaten about
by the storm, stopped to rest a moment on
the rock ; Martha seized upon and rent him
in twain, with almost savage glee, for her
child to devour raw she, who two days be
fore would have wept at the sight of the
wounded sparrow.
Another night and day, like the other,
only more intensely agonizing. Martha was
sullenly indifferent now ; suffering had pal
sied every noble feeling, Charlie moaned for
supper too weak and spent to sit up, he
was lying on the rock, his head in her lap,
his great eyes fixed on her face. She tore
open a vein on her arm with her scissors,
and made him drink the blood! Anything,
she said to herself, to calm the wild, wild
yearnings of his eyes. The boy rose he
sat up and peered through the darkness.
"Mamma," he said, "papa is coming. I
lelt him touch me."
She wept at the mockery, and drew the
child frantically to her bosom.
The night was fair, lit up by a new moon.
Overcome by a deadly exhaustion, against
which she could make no resistance, Martha
fell into an uneasy slumber, which towards
midnight was broken by a startling cry. She
sprang to her feet and gazed around her.
No ! ber eyes did not deceive her there
on the shore stood the stalwart form of ber
husband, and he was calling her name with
the energy of despair. She could only cry
out, "U, Mark, Mark !" and fell senseless to
theearth. When she awoke to consciousness,
she was lying on her bed in the cottage, sup
ported by her husband's arms, it was no
dream. She and her darling boy were not
dead. Many weeks passed before she grew
strong again, but Mark tended her as a
mother would an infant, and by the time the
autumn frosts fell.she was the blithe Martha
Warren of old.
At the time of the freshet, the bridge
over the Ammonoosue had indeed been
swept away, but Mark, impelled by aa un
controlable fear almost a preset, timent
had crossed the river, at the risk of his life,
on a rude log raft, and reached home oniy to
find it vacant.
The descendants of Mark Warren and his
wife still dwell in the fertile valleys of the
Ammonoosue, and the eld men still tell to
their grandchildren the story of Martha
Warren and her child.
A dissipated and unmannerly nobleman,
presuming upon his "nobility" once asked
Sir Walter Scott, who sat opposite to him
at a dinner, what the difference was be
tween Scott and sot ? "Just the breadth of
the table," retorted Sir Walter.
A WHOSESOME LESSOIT.
"Charles how would you like to go to Alls
ton asked Mr. Lyons one morning. "As
it is your vacation, and there are some little
matters which you might be able to attend
to, it would make you a pleasant trip. I met
Governor Dunlap the other day. He is an
old school friend of mine, and he told me
that it would give him great pleasure to en
tertain you at his house."
I should like it of all things," said
Charles, with difficulty keeping down the
delight which threatened to send the blood
in torrents to his cheeks, for Charles Lyons
prided himself upon bis coolness. "A gen
tleman should never show that he is sur
prised, was his maxim, and above all
things he wished to be quoted as a gentle
men, lobe sure he was only seventeen.
but he had put off boyish sports and man
ners long ago ; studied deeply upon the
shade of the newest colors in gloves, or the
most elegant style of cravats ; was extremely
particular about the cut of his coat, and
would not have worn an unfashionable hat
for all the wealth of the universe. . I am
afraid Charles stood on the extreme verge
of dandyism, and.that he was in daneer of
losing whatever -of manliness nature had
origiually imparted to him from the moment
he began coaxing tho shade of a handsome
pair ot whiskers, which made him in ap
pearancc years older than he really was.
.... s
jJr. Uunlap is Uovernor of the State
now, is he not, father?" asked Charles,
placing his cup of coffee carefully back, for
his hand trembled with the excitement
which the offer had given him.
'1 es, one of the best men living. I never
met his equal for simple, earnest, high
minded manhood. He is nearly worshipped
by the people where he lives, and might, I
suppose, keep his office for life if he should
choose." But it. was in a manner forced
upon him. I think be cares very little
about it.
"I'll baye those fine shirts done just in
time, then, said Anna Lyons, who was
very pioud of her brother. "I don't believe
you'll see any as handsome in Allston, or
any other place. It has taken a month's
hard work just to embroiderd the bosoms,
and there are only two. I'm so glad they're
all but finished. How nice you will look in
your new suit !"
"I oball trr to do the family r-rpriir '' aat
Charles, swelling with pride, as he rose from
the table. He did not say that he conferred
an honor on his father in accepting the op
portunity, but undoubtedly he felt he did.
It took several days to get ready, and
meantime he made the announcement among
his friends that he was going to stop at
Governor Dunlap's as if it were only an
every day occurrence.
"Didn't know you were acquainted out
there,'' said one of his friends.
"0 yes; the Governor's an old chum of
father's; know him very well, or, rather
feel as if I did, he being a particular friend
of the family. I expect to make some jolly
new acquaintances out in Allston, and I un
derstand the Governor has some pretty
daughters. I shan't be slow in getting in
terested there you may be sure."
And Charles felt that be was irresistible,
as he stood before the mirror, critically ex
amining the effect of his new embroidered
shirt front, in which ho determined to make
his xJelut. He was handsome there was no
denying that, though his beauty was rather
effeminate than masculine.
His figure was good and his clothes fitted
him faultlessly. With his new and elegant
portmanteau s: rapped upon his shoulders,
hi new and jaunty traveling suit, he felt
that he could defy and conquer the world.
Behold him, then, on his journey, the
most particular and punctiliousof travelers,
looking about him with an air of kingly
condescension, as if he would say, "Pray
notice me. I am an altogether unique speci
men, perfectly exceptional as to style, dress
and address. My destination is the mansion
of the chief executive of the State of .
Ordinary people had better not speak to me
unless they wish to be snubbed. Take no
tice, all."
The journey was nearly ended the cars
were within two score miles of their destina
tion when they stoped at a thriving town,
where the many empty seats were soon taken
up. Our hero had passed an uncomfortable
night, on account of the crowded state of
the cars. He had just U-ken down his styl
ish portmanteau and placed it on the seat be
side him that he might avail himself if possi
ble of more space. One and another speedily
seated themselves in the vacant places.
"Is this seat engaged ?" asked a voice.
Charles looked up. A young man, in a
rough coat a little worse for wear, a common
woolcd comforter about his neck, a shaggy
and well worn cap on his head, stood with
one hand on the back of the seat specified.
"Decidedly some low fellow." thought
Charles, "going up for work ; he looks ex
actly like a hand out of employment."
"Yes it is," was the quick reply. "You
had better pass into the next car ; there are
plenty of seats there for such as you." was
the disdainful addition, conveyed by look
rather than speech.
Presently the cars moved on. The young
fellow stationed himself against a projection
in the partition, and stood there patiently
tor some time. Then he returned to the
charge.
"Does this carpet bag belong to you 1" he
asked, fixing a clear, cool, blue eye upon our
exquisite.
"It isn't a carpet bag," was the curt re
joinder. "This portmanteau, then ?"
"res, it does."
"Have you paid double fare ?"
"That's none of your business," retorted
Charles. -
"Which means no,' was the cool rejoin
der; and lifting the . bafedsome article, he
swung it in place on the rack, and before the
astonished Charles could find his tongue he
seated himself by bis-side.
"That was an impertinent trick of yours,'
said Charles, hotly.
"Paid my fair young man, and am bound
to have a seat," was the laughing reply.
"I'm not used to setting with greasy me
chanics," was the low retort, not so low,
however, but what it was heard by the other,
whose eye flashed angrily for the moment.
Presently, however, the ludicrous side of
the affair seemed to strike him ; his honest
blue eyes twinkled. He lifted up his worn
gloves and counted the holes in them : he
cast a glance over the somewhat threadbare
coat, and another at the rich clothing of his
companion.
O, we re not so much at odds as might
be, if you re a tailor as I take you to be ;
and I m carpenter, he said, laughing.
You are impertinent, ; sir," was the
Dniy reply vouchsafed by the indignant
young man.
"You told me that once before; it strikes
me j'ou are not conversant with the rules of
polite society. It is not good breeding to
tell a man even a disagreeable truth."
Charles gathered himself up in wrathful
dignity, and looked from the window. ; He
was angry that a man who appeared as if he
were devoted to some menial calling, had
the capacity and the audacity to answer him
as if he considered himself his equal.
Traveling far west, queried he of the hon
est blue eyes, in a quiet voice, as if nothing
had happened, and he would fain make up
and be friendly.
Charles decided not to answer him. Then
it occurrred to him that he would put down
this impulsive intruder once for all, and in
the loftiest manner he answered. ,
"I am going to make a vUit to Gov. Dun-
lap ; do you happen to be acquainted with
him ?" he added, ironically.
"O yes, very well ; in fact, I have done
several little jobs for him," was tho answer.
the blue eyes twinkled faster than ever. "Are
you sent by any particular firm V
"I go as his gucst,ir" said Charles,
1 l.iM f.l ' I
uaugniny, wnn a witneriog glance.
"Vnn'IJ find .thff -old gentleman a KtiU
peculiar ; saidfl.i "cicome informant,
assuming a manner of marked familiarity.
"He hates snobs, won't wear gloves and
does his own marketing. I thought it would
bi no harm to put you on your guard."
"Thank you for nothing," wa the inso
lent reply. "I've no doubt I shall find Gov.
Dunlap a gentleman."
"Ah 1 there you are right," said the plain
young man with the honest blue eyes, not a
whit abashed at the retort.
"He is a gentleman. I happed to know
that. No poor man comes to him and is
turned away. He never judges a man by
the cut of his clothes or the quality of his gar
ments. V es, we are all proud of our Gov
ernor, became he is a gentleman. "
This retort made the young exquisite feel
unpleasantly warm, but he determined to
keep up the appearance of extreme annoy
ance and did so till the cars stopped at the
very city in which he was to sojourn.
"John," cried the rough acquaintance.
beckoning to a man wbo stood beside a
plain, handsome carriage, " this geut eman
is going to Gov. Dunlap's; then adding a
few words aside he turned to go in another
direction. John looking like a man wbo
was forcing himself to wear a serious face
put Charles into the handsome carriage, and
our hero had time only to ask the coachman
wbo that fellow was that spoke to him.
A young man as does odd jobs for the
Governor," was the grinning reply; and
Charles, juite satisfied that he was riht,
enjoyed the admiring glances of the crowd
and was driven off.
Quite at home in the Governor's splendid
palace-house, Charles had nearly forgoten
his little rencontre by evening. Two pretty
daughters of his host, with their cou.-in,
made his visit more than agreeable, whi.e
the old Governor recalled reminiscences of
his college days. Suddenly the door was
opened, both sisters sprang forward with the
cry "It's our dear old Hall brother Harry,
of whom we have been telling."
Charles stood rooted on the floor. Words
cannot express the confusion he felt at the
magical glance of that clear blue eye that
twinkled as if it wanted to explode in show
ers of mischievous fun. The blood rusbed
to his face and receded again, leading him
quite pale and faint. He felt, indeed, like
a very common-place individual, and com
pletely crushed at that, fortunately the joy
was so universal that ho was not narrowly
observed.
"Don't trouble yourself," whispered Har
ry, aside, to him. 'Nobody need to know
that we have met before. But let me repeat
to you that I'm a working man, and do little
jobs for the Governor," and he turned away,
laughing, as he shook poor Charles by the
hand.
It was a good lesson for our young cox
comb, and in his heart of hearts he acknowl
edged it as such. Never again did he judge
a mau by his outward appearance, and
though, let us hope, he always afterward
took a reasonable pride in appearing like a
gentleman externally, the ideal did not crop
out so luxuriantly as before in gloves, shirt
fronts and gold studs.
'That man," says Sydney Smith, "is not
the discoverer of art who first says the
things; but he who says it so long, so loud.
and so clearly, that he compels mankind to
hear hiiq,"
