M rs. Wainwaring Trumpet was a
u idow—fat, fair and fifty Had you
tansaeked the English language for a
word to describe ber you could have
found one only that would do her jus
tice. Mrs. Main waring Trumpet was
prodigious. She was prodigiously
rich, prodigiously stout, prodigiously
active, prodigiously versatile, prodigi
ously talkative and most prodigiously
self-important. She was good humor
ed, too—stout people always are ; the
adipose substance produces that quali
ty itself. We may be sure there is
more good nature lying potentially in
a tub of Dorset butter than the most
vigorous disciple of philosophy could
evolve bv the efforts of his righteous
will in a twelve-month. Mrs. Main
waring Trumpet was therefore good
: humored of necessity ; she was far too
fat to be anything else. And this noisy,
; buttery good humor of hers so lubrica-
I ted her failings that she was tolerable
and even agreeable in society. It is
true she did bustle about and put you j
i down or thrust you out of sight, but ,
her voice was so rich and her smile «o ,
I sunny, and she was on such unmistak- I
able good terms with herself that you
forgave her. That is, if you were not
of ber particular sex you forgave her.
But if you were or are of her particu
lar sex you never did and never do for
give a drawing room snub. Is it not
so, gentle reader ?
Mrs. Mainwarinp Trumpet went in
for 'the world.' She loml races, and
would l>et gloves and eat lobHter salada
and drink champagne. .She was crazy
about balls, and would dance until, for
her size and weight, she was as great
a wonder as the sun on Easter I)ay.
She frequented the opera and could
hum you all the new tunes next day,
getting a little out now and then, but
still you knew what she meant. If any
questionable play was on the stage
Mrs. Main waring Trumpet would be
in a side box, giggling and blushing
and exploding behind her fan in such a
very honest and absurd way that she
half ruined the piece for the people who
wish to enjoy their vice seriously 'ike
rational creatures 'Have you read it?'
she would ask when any fa.-hiohable
lady novelist came out with something
more shocking than usual. 'Have you
read it? Because I have!' in one of
her s age whispers that you could hear
across a hay field. And she would
drop behind her fan, allowing her great
rolling eyes to appear that she might
telegraph at you, and hiding the rest
of her face, while her big jolly laughter
Rounded like a river underground. She
was the best hand at croquet in three
counties. She took up lawn tennis and
played so splendidiv that one day in
the Binhop's garden she sent her win
ning stroke right fnto the study win
dow, covering the prelate with frajr
ments like a working glazier and s<
confounding him that for a few seconds
he really thought that the end of the
world had come. She applied herseif
to rinking with the usual enthusiasm
and got the thing up in two hours, af
ter which she went round and round
at an awful puce, like « seventy-lour
gun ship in a high wind, until she
came into collision 'With tall Mr. Index
who hod just come out as senior wran
gler and was trying if a little exercise
with his legs would not be nice for a
change and useful for put poses o»
health. Him she drove to earth with
a velocity which by itself was the hint
of a problem, and upon his prostraU
frame her own descended with a crash
so terrific that, amid the ruin of his
faculties, Index could scarcely colled
reason to register a solemn vow that ii
his life were only spared he would re
ucunce all athletic sports for evermore.
Thus did r«». Main waring Trumpet
move through life's various scenes lik<
a catapult, u battering ram, an eighty
one ton gun, a thunderbolt, or any
thing that is the embodiment of all
conquering force.
She was, we sijid, a widow. Fifteen
years ago she had been Mi** Main war
ing, with plenty of good blood i:t her
veliitt, but no money in her purse. Ben
jaruin Thursby Trumpet, Ksq., a Bris
tol merchant sprung from the gutter,
and worth a heap of money, 'came'and
'saw' Miss Mainwarinp, and was 'con
quered.' lie proposed for her ; she ac
cepted his money. In three weeks'
time she ww# \lr*. Mairiwaring Trum
pet- "be liecame rich, and rare were
the gents she wore ; but oh ! that vul
gar husband ! With all her eccentrici
ties she was a lady; and oh ! that hus
liajid! Mrs. Mainwarinjf Trumpet
learned this lesson that others learnt
before her—that you cannot sell your
self and have yourself at the same time.
Well, she fetched a handsome price,
and, to do her justice, she did not
grumble much
Benjamin Tburaby Trumpet—like
Mr. Bounderby in "Hard Tlmea"—
loved to tillk uf ii 1 h origin, and how ho
rokt! from nothing, leaving the audience
to infer what a clever, hard-headed fel
low be wuMt lie. Hut he grew too
fond of this practice, and one day when
he had been riding bin hobby rather
hard, a watf, upon bin leaving the
room, caught up hi* visiting card, and
readiug his iuiLiuln aloud—'ll. T. Truin
f ailed him on the apot Mr. Blow
the Trqniliet. The name stu<k. Two
UiuUlhm alter she was married a loving
friend said to his bride :
'"o you know they nickname your
huahand Mr. Blow the Trutn|iet ?'
The bilde broke into a laugh ; the
shaft of such malice could not harm
her. She rather enjoyed it, and the
friend had to aearch her quiver for an
other arrow.
'And they do nay— you don't mind,
of course, dear—that he has met his
match, and that ' ou are Mrs. Blow the
Trumpet, Horridly low, I cull it, dear.
Don't you ?'
The bride nearly fainted with indig
nation, and for the fust time and only
tjtnt! in her life needed smelling salts.
She waa not half so excited on the
memorable night when her husband
was found aitting in the dining room
over his port epiite dead. She pro
nounced it apoplexy at a glance, sent
for the doctor aud flew about the house
with brandy and basina and mustard
poultieea and hot llannela, reminding
all who saw her in some inexplicable
way of a lire engine uiufciug it* way to
Kill EH. f J A.. WEDNESDAY. JINE 29.1881
an exciting conflagration. But she did
not faint, and never asked for so much
as a whiff out of a smelling bottle.
Thus did M iss Mainwaring become
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet, widow,
with a lanre fortune all her own. The
vulgar husband was gone—'mercifully
released, my dear,' the widow would
say; though what it was from (except
herself) no one one could have told.
And yet Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet
was not happy. Who is ? She wan
ted to sret rid of this dreadful name
Mrs. Blow the Trumpet. llow should
she manage it? Mrs. Mainwaring
Trumpet bethought her of an easier, a
more agreeable and a more economical
way.
The rector of her parish was a wid
ower, tall, lank, gloomy and always
wearing a comtorter. An ordinary
hedge stake, neatlv dressed in clerical
attire, with a white woolen wrapping
at the upper end, surmounted by a
black hat, might have passed for the
Rev. Arthur Arrowsmith at a very
short distance. Mr. Arrowsmith was
a powerful preacher, and in common
life grave, yet apt at times to be seized
with a kind of grim humor, of which
the sign would be a series of violent
inhalations. These, in an ordinary be
ing, would have denoted the onset of a
fit, but with Mr. Arrowsmith only
meant that his fancy was tickled. He
had been twice married. His first wife
had i!l0,000, and she lived ten years.
He became trebly gloomy for the space
c-f eighteen months, and always had
an allusion in his sermons to the grave
where one's heart was lying. Sudden
ly he cheered up and married another
lady, this time with £20,000, and bis
sermons began to allude to the possi
bilities of comfort which ure provided
for even the greatest sorrows. The
second Mrs. Arrowsmitb, however,
held out better than her predecessor,
and it was twenty years before her re
liet found himself raking up his old al
lusions to the quiet grave and the peo
ple who are there. And now Mrs.
Arrowsmitb the second had been dead
for eighteen months clear, and Mr. Ar
rowsmitb, thinking once more of conso
lation, fixed his eyes 011 Mrs Mainwar
ing Trumpet. Ilis eyes were not much
to look at, being deep-set and no-color
ed ; but they told their tale to Mrs.
.Mainwaring Trumpet as clearly as if
they had been azure or jetty orbs, sig
nalling from the most delicate environ
ment of hair and cheek. Mrs. Main
waring Trumpet saw that the Ilcv.
Arthur Arrowsmitb had fallen in-love
with her To show her appreciation
of his taste and her reciprocity she
bounded into love with him—took a
kind of header into the sentiment, and
immersed herself with stn amazing
splash They were engaged two days
after. Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet talk
ed about the affair everywhere. She
laughed over it, cried over it, grew
crimson about it, published it on the
housetop, swore her friend to secrecy
about it, and generally behaved like
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet gone mad
outright, which may be taken to denote
mania of seven-fold power .She court
ed Mr. Arrowsmitb at the Sunday
school, and stood HO close to him when
he came to visit her class, that one
morning she trod on his corn and made
him jump three paces clean, with a
t<|Ueak that frightened the whole room.
She ogled him from her front seat in
the gallery with such directness and
power that several times he lost his
place and spoiled bis best sentences.
She ran after him in the street, coming
up to him—sly, solemn and cadaver
ous as be was—all breathless and heat,
which, at her time of life, did very well
for blushes. She sent him presents of
•dippers that he could not wear because
1 hey were too small, and worsted jack
ets for the cold weather which bung
about him in vast, loose folds, because,
in her headlong way she had taken the
measure of her own frame for the pat
tern. She never lost an opportunity
of talking about him, praising him,
• 'racing him forward and linking him
with herself. Mrs. Mainwaring Trum
pet vowed and declared that every
night of her life she dreamed of Mr.
Arrowsmitb without ceasing, and
awoke calling upon his beloved name.
I n fact, her love was a perfect cataract,
always going on and niuki )g a tremen
dous noise in the meantime.
A I»ist grand idea struck hor, in pur
suit of which she started for London
by the curly express, getting to I'ad
dlngton at ten o'clock. She gave a
porter half a crown to catch hor the
very first cab. She tohl the cabman
that she would give Mm half a sover
eign if he drove her to Holland'* in
twenty-five minutes. She sprang from
her cab, rushed into the shop panting
and demanded to nee the very beat tel
escope manufactured lor lield uw;. She
HIIW one with stand complete for X'4o,
tried it in St. Paul's churchyard,
bought it, paid for it in live pound
notes, got her discount for cash, wan in
her cab and rattling back to I'adding
ton again exactly in ten minuter and a
half. She caught the return express
and wax home again before lunch, hav
ing traveled between two and three
liundr <1 iiiilea and transacted nil her
business. tier luuch was a pheasant,
J und she ate the bird to the bones and
then set about completing her design.
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet's boudoir
window looked straight across to the
rectory, at a distance of about "lie mile.
In her boudoir window she erected her
telescope, aimed full at the dining room
and study of |the rectory Sim adjust
ed the focus, and scarcely breathing
with excitement, applied her eye to the
glass.
A long silence ensued. Adams, the
maid, who stood by, with a serious
expression carefully nfiread ov<-r a de
risive grin, began to think that the ex
periment had failed, when, after a long
intcrvul, .Mrs Mainwariug Trumpet
sprang to her feet with a violence
which upset the telescope, stand and
all
'I saw him,' she cried, triumphantly,
'as plainly as if he w<re in this room!'
With trembling lingers she set up
the glass Tid now, in u more
composed frame of mind, f>egaii to ex
plore anew. Another long alienee fol
lowed ; and then Mis. Mainwaring
Trumpet, nover taking her eye from
the glas*, called out in a grave vole®,
t like uu astronomer who discovers a
comet, but who having expected it, is
not amazed, only gravely elated.
'Adams, be isat hisdinner.'
'LaWs, ma'am !' Adams said, because
that committed her to nothing.
'At his soup, Adams,'she continued,
fixed in her posture. I see the -ladle
quite plainly '
'Laws, ma'am, how clever!' Adam
said, feeling the ground better us;der
her feet. Hereupon, for many minutes
nothing was said.
'Adams,' Mrs Mainwariug Trumpet
said at last, 'he has had three helps of
soup.'
Adams scarcely knew how she was
to take this.
'You see, ma'am,' she said diffident
ly, 'he is a very thin gentleman.'
'I don't see what that has got to do
with it, AdamS,' the mistress said, re
turning to the telescope. 'Here comes
the fish.'
Another long pause ensued, at the
end of which Mrs. Mainwaring Trum
pet turned round upon her maid.
'Twice, Adams. I could not be
sure, but I think it must be cod. Well,
three and two make five.'
'So they do, ma'am,' Adams said,
wisely giving a free assent where the
fact was indubitable and the safety of
a coincidence of opinion tolerably cer
tain.
'Shoulder of mutton!'called out Mrs.
Mainwaring Trumpet in due course;
'and I suppose that's onion sauce.
What a pity one can't smell with a tel
escope, and one would be sure!'
'You can't smell with it, I suppose
ma'am V Adams said humbly, like a
true disciple of science#
'No, you can't smell with it, Adams,'
the mistress answered. 'Bless me,'
sh>- added, before this piece ot informa
tion was well off her lips, 'two glasses
of sherry, one after another, without
breath between. I don't quite
like the look of that, Adams.'
'He is such a very thin gentleman,'
pleaded Adams, who knew well that
she might take up the defense without
vexing her mistress.
'I suppose they do take more build
ing up, Adams,' the mistress remarked
still gazing.
'l'm sure they do, ma'am,' Adams
replied fervently. 'There's mv father,
ma'am, thin as that pii|»er knife, ma'ain,
and the quantity of beer he takes to
keep himself up you wouldn't believe.
It is quite ruin, ma'am, that it is. I'm
sure, ma'am, nothing Mr. Arrowsmith
does can be wrong, ma'am, after them
sermons.'
'Quite right, Adams,' replitd tLe
mistress. 'Order the brewer to leave
a nine gallon cask at your father's
house to-morrow.'
'Thank you, ma'am,' Adams answer
ed. 'But as 1 was a-sayin', what a
dear good man that Mr. Arrowsmitb is
'He is just cutting into his cheese!'
called out Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet.
'The very cheese I sent bim on Tues
day !'
Thus things went on until the rec
tor's dinner was over, when Mrs. Main
waring Trumpet rose to her feet and
said:
'I know everything. Soup three
times and fish twice; shoulder of mut
ton three times at least, and 1 am not
sure about a fourth, for I breathed on
the glass and bad to clean it. Sweets
twice, for certain ; cheese, dessert, and
six glasses of wine in all, I think. Ad
ams, I do think '
'They required it, ma'ain,' Adams
suid firmly ; 'it's the call of nature,
that's what it is.'
'Well, I suppose so,' the mistress
said, reasoning with herself as her
maid prepared to go down stairs. 'You
see my size and how little I eat.'
Must so, ma'am,' Adams said
'The doctor savs, continued Mrs.
Mainwaring Trumpet, luughiug, 'that
I live on my fat.'
'That's just it, ma'am,' Adams said,
leaving tin; room ; only when tho door
was closed behind her she added :
'Three eggs and bacon to breakfast
this morning, and cold trout with mar
malade to follow. That's living on your
fat, I suppose. Well, it's easy knowing
what your fat lives on.'
Under the most fifvorable circum
stances Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet
never Could keep a secret long, and
now, in her elation at her own brillian
cy, she told several friends of the con
trivance by which she was enabled to
wat'li her beloved one at itll hours.
Of course people laughed and thought
the whole thing a capital jofce ; that
she did not mind the least. Lot mat
ters grew serious when thoroetor heard
that his whole parish was laughing at
him on account of Mrs. Trumpet's tel
escope. He had never heard of tho
telescope before.
The observing reader will have re
marked in his journey through human
life that just in proportion as men are
ludicrous, in that degree do they hate
the idea of becwmilig so. To smile like 1
Falstaff, Is'cause we are the cause of '
wit in others, is given only to the im
mortals in waggery ; your average man
hates of all things to bo laughed at
Now, when Arrowsmitb. the grim, the
solemn, the lank, discovered that he
WHS the laughing stock of his congre
gation, he came to a determination
that he would break off his engagement
with Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet. Bui
how accomplish that? lie could not
i openly allege the telescope as a cause
Fancy an impassioned counsel harangu
ing a jury against, a reverend defendant
who broke off his engagement because
a woman who loved linn better than
lile had looked at him through a telc
| scope ! That would never d«f. The
matter must be accomplished by craft,
and Mr. Arrowsmith set himself to
think how it could be done.
At. tliis time there came to settle in
his parish a maiden lady o! enormous
wealth that is, for every thousand
pounds Mrs. Main waring Trumpet pos
sessed Miss Quick possessed three.
Miss Quick was fifty-four; probably
she had been pretty in a lackadaisicaf
sort of way thirty years ago But since
then Time and Miss Quick had had
several interviews. She looked now
rather like an old wax doll which had
fallen on its cheek in the toy shop win
dow on a hot day and put the feature
out of shape Traces of bloom were on
her lace still, but the two cheeks did
4 not mutch in size, which wus u littles
awkard. Ah ! yes ; but while certain
of M iss (Quick's charms had faded oth
ers had burst into bloom. Her papa,
who was something iu Bermondsev,
and used always to have a leathery
kind of suiell, died and left Miss Quick
£150,000. How many faded charms
will that sum renew! Bethink you,
how many dimples, ringlets, pearly
sets of teeth, carnation lips, fairy feet,
peachskin cheeks, ivory fingers and
taper waists are equal for bewitchment
to i! 150,000 ? Ah ! pretty dears, who
boast yourselves in mere lieauty of na
ture, remember to us males a day
comes when we begin to sec that we
cannot dine of an eyebrow, however
fine its arch, nor sip the sparkle of an
eye, nor pay rent and takes with a
breath, perfumed though it be like gar
dens of Araby the blest. In a word,
dears, we grow stout, practical ; we
come, as that sad little song of Th ck
eray's says, 'to forty year.' And as for
Mr. Arrowsmith be had come to fortv
year, and to fifty year ; indeed, he had
come to fifty-five year. Let an Iliad of
lovemaking be written on a finger-nail
of paper. Miss (Juiek made open love
to Mr. Arrowsmith, though never a
word she sp"ke ; Mr. Arrowsmith re
plied that if the thing could be arrang
eJ he was ready, though never a word
he spoke. And now for Mrs. Trumpet
and her telescope.
Six days later Mr. Arrowsmith drove
past Mrs. Mainwariug Trumpet, and
in his carriage was seated a young and
pretty girl. No sootier did Mr. Arrow
smith sec his engaged wife than he
drew back in the carriage with all signs
of confusion and tried to hide himself.
'O-bo !' thought Mrs Trumpet, color
ing up till she was as red as a soldier's
coat. That was Saturday. At Sun
day school next morning Mrs. Main
wariug Trumpet severely, suddenly
and with evident distrust in her voice,
asked Mr. Arrowsmith who that young
lady was with whom he drove out yes
terday afternoon. The clergyman was
so palpably confused and made such
fearful blunderings in his reply, and he
so obstinately declined to tell who the
girl was, ti at Mrs. Mainwariug Trum
pet closed the interview by glaring at
him like a drngon. Indeed, had the
dragon ever glared at St. George so, in
all probability the champion would
have tumbled off his horse before the
fight bejfan, and we should never have
had any legend at all. Mrs. Mainwar
iug Trumpet came home after church
as sulky as a I bunder cloud.
'Adams,' she said, in an appalling
voice, 'I have been deceived !'
'Lawk, ma'am !' said.
'Yes, deceived, Adams,' the mistress
went on. 'He has been flirting with a
woman—a minx—a hussv not twenty!'
'Lawks, ma'am,' said Adams, 'to
think of it! And him such a thin gen
tleman !'
'I don't sec what that hus got to do
with it, Adams ! remarked her mistress.*
'Hut,' said Mrs. Trumpet, pacing her
room like Lady Macbeth, 'I shall—l
shall—l shall—'
'I would, ma'am,' Adams said, 'if I
was you.'
'You don't know what I was going
to say, Adams,' the mistress rejoined.
Next morning at twelve o'clock Mrs.
Mainwaring Trumpet sat down to her
telescope as usual ; only the eye that
gazed through it burned so that it
might have melted the glass. In u mo
ment she sank back with a scream.
'Adams!' she cried, 'she's there !'
'Who ma'ain V asked Adams.
'The minx!' screamed Mrs. Main
waring Trumpet.
'Lawk, ma'am I' said Adams.
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet applied
herself to the telescope for a few min
utes and then burst into another scream.
'lie's kneeling before her, Adams !'
'Well, I never!' Adams ejaculated ;
but her excited mistress heard her not.
'Adams! screamed Mrs. Mainwaring
Trumpet, in agonized tones, 'he has
got his arm around her neck ! 0,
Adams, Adams,' cried HIIC, drawing
back from the instrument, 'I aiu going
to faint I Hold me up, Adams !'
'Couldn't you see it out first ma'am,'
suggested Adams, 'and faint then, j
ma'am, when all is over?
'I will, Adams,' the mistress cried, '
resolutely , and she began to gaze again.
Alas! new disclosures awaiting her. 1
'Adams, are 'you there—are you
there V she screamed out. 'He is kiss
ing her !'
'My gracious I' Adams exclaimed.!
'Well, there's no being up to the men !' ,
'Once, Adams !' the infuriated lady j
continued; 'twice three times! Again, i
again! That's five, isn't it'( Another!
Six kisses, Adams and the last such a
long one !'
'Long or short is much the same,
ma'am,' Adams ventured the remark.
'lt is not the same!' cried Mrs.
Main waling Trumpet. 'lt makes a
gread deal of difference ; but of course
you know nothing about it.'
'No, ma'am,' Adams said; I haye
been mercifully preserved.'
Adams was thirty-live, brisk and
good lo iking, and had just quarreled
with her eighth beau.
More like Lady Macls«th than ever,
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet stood up
and said, in tones that made even the
favorite Adams shake in her shoes,
'The carriage !' 'The rectory ! f she
called i ut, iu the same thrilling tone, to
her coachman, as she stepped into the
vehicle. 'I must see Mr Arrowsmith,'
she said to the servant at the rectory.
She never ask<'d was he out or in. 'I
must see himand she strode with
avenging steps across the hall into a
small morning room. 'Say that Mrs.
Mainwaring Trumpet wishes lo see
him instantly, instantly ! do you hear?
she said to the servant.
'Yes ma'am,' the man answered.
'ln a taking she is!' he remarked, as he
went to deliver the message.
The infuriated Mrs, Mainwaring
Trumpet might hive heard two or
three gasp-like inhalations before the
door opened She might have seen
the faintest, remnant ot a grin on the
rector's lean face ns In? entered the
room. Hut she saw no smile, heard
no sound of laughter ; she was riding
on the whirlwind of her rage and alive
to nothing but the chastisement she
mint inflict.
'Arthur Arrowsmith,' she began,
'you uro found out. Walls have ears
and windows have eyes. Oh, you per
jured man!'
'They may have,' retorted the rector,
who seemed wonderfully well prepared
I lor the attack ; 'but even if that be so,
I however curious and interesting the
[ fact may be considered in the light of
an unexpected and rather inexplicable
phenomenon, still I don't see what it
| Las to say to my being a tortured man.'
'You were seen in this room,' the
lady went on : 'seen when the clock
was pointing to twenty-eight minutes
past eleven. What was going to hap
pen just then, Arthur Arrowsmith ?'
'I should say the clock was coin? to
strike the half-hour,' the rector answer
ed, with perfect composure
'O, you wicked and most shameless
man !'cried Mrs. Mainwaring Trump
et. 'I could not have believed it only
I saw it with my own eyts.'
'Aided by Dollond's telescope' re
marked the rector.
'Yes, aided by Dollond's telescope !'
his accuser answered. She did not
care that the fact was discovered. 'And
let us be thankful for any instrument
that finds out the baseness of men.
Carrying on with that chit of a girl ! I
declare I could not have believed it!'
'Why should I not carry on, as you
call it, with t'uat girl, if I please V de
manded the clergyman, not the least
moved by her vehemence.
'Hear him speak!' she screamed, in
voking some invisible power. 'Oh Ar
thur Arrowsmith, to behave so with
that while tie round your neck!'
'The only thing to be said about the
tie round my oeck is that there is not
quite starch enough in it,'replied the
recor. 'That, I take it, is the laun
dress' fault, uot mine.'
'And your gray head 1' continued
Mrs Mainwariug Trumpet, sweeping
forward in her invective, regardless of
this flippant interruption.
'Now, as to my head,'the clergyman
said, for the first time with a little
warmth, 'there is not a gray hair on
it.'
'Well, with your bald head then !'
cried the frenzied Mrs. Mainwaring
Trumpet. 'With your bald head, to
behave so, it's appalling!'
'lf 1 were to behave so without my
bald head it certainly would be appal
ling,' retorted the rector. 'Surely, Mrs.
Mainwaring Trumpet, you don't* mean
to say that if I were decapitated my
conduct would have been more becom
ing?'
This sardonic mood he maintained
through the interview, but no such toy
ish opposition could stem the rush of
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet's wrath.
'You knelt before her !'
'Yes ; her shoestrings had come un
done.'
'You put your arms about her neck !'
'She asked me to fasten her neck-rib
bon. liy the way,' the rector added,
'what do they call these ribbons that
stream down their backs? A name is
jest. Follow me-Iflds ! That's it. She
asked ine to fasten her follow-me-lads.'
'Her follow-me-lads!' repeated Mrs
Mainwaring Trumpet, in a voice that
sank into the deepest bass with indig
nation. 'Well, if the earth were to
open and swallow me up But,' she
cried, darting back to the main truck of
her impeachment, 'I saw more than
that; you kissed her.'
'As to kissing,' the imperturbable
rector replied, 'that might be the kiss
of peace.'
'Kiss of peace, indeed !' echoed the
pcornful dame. 'A likely story ! The
kiss of peace was not given half a doz
en at a time And if the first was a
kiss of peace, will you tell mo what
were the other fiver'
'I shall answer no questions,' replied
the rector, seeming to Income very
grand and dignified all of a sudden.
'Oh, then you don't even repent!'
Mrs. Trumpet went on. And now her
last bit of patience vanished. 'You
glory in it! Arthur Arrowsniith,' she
cried, in a voice which rang through
the room. 'I renounce; I cast you off.
I would rather marry your coachman
than you. We are strangers from this
moment and forever, and 1 only wish
that there were witnesses to hear me
say the words!'
'Witnesses are here,' the rector said,
breaking into A "mile, and throwing
open the folding doors us he spoke.
•You were not likely to miss much of
Mrs. Mainwaring Trumpet's interest
ing conversation, were you ?' he added,
addressing himself to the adjoining
room.
Here two ladies sat at luncheon.
One was the pretty rival, the other
Miss Quick, iloth ladies seemed try
ing to suppress their laughter, only the
younger one was a little rosy red amid
her amusement.
•Miss Quick you know,'said the rec
tor, now quite calm. 'This is my dead
brother's only child, my adopted daugh

her cheek with a wurmpth that was
pleasant to see, while she grew rosier
red than before.

'I have been ensnared,' sire cried
more furiously than ever; '1 have beeu

'You have, by your own telescope,'
the clergyman answered. 'Take my
advice, and keep that valuable instru

'Well.' Mrs Mainwaring Trumpet re
torted, with a creditable rally of her
spirits, just as she marched out, 'all I
f\in say of my telescope is this, I have
not tried it on my heavenly body vet.
Good morning to you !' and with some
what of a recovery of majesty she
swept from the room.

her own chamber, 'it's all over. We

Miss Quick became Mrs. Arthur Ar

telescope got abroad, and of course
everybody laugh*d, until at last Mrs.
Mainwaring Trumpet very wisely re
solved to laugh herself. Aud finally,
to show that she feared the ridicule of

'At midnight las' night,' said the old
man in a solemn voice as be looked up
and down the aisles; 'at midnight las'
night de speerit of Brudder Charles
Climax Gosh port, a local member of
dis club, passed from y'arth to dc un
known. Only a week ago he sat in dis
hall; to-night he am dressed fur do
grave. What acksbun will de club
take'/'
'I s'pose, sah,' said the Rev. Pen
stock as ho rose up, 'dat it am in order
to present a resolushun to de effect dat
be was a man of do highest integrity,
lilteral hearted, minded, an' dat
his loss am a sad blow to do hull city.'
•Yes, such a resoltshun atu in order.
Brudder Penstock, can you remember
dat you eber took Brudder Go.ihport
by de hand an' gin him a word of

'1 l—doan' remember dat I eber

'Am dar a pusson in dis hall who kin
remember dat he eber put hissclf out to
favor Brudder Goshport ?'
Not a man answered
'Kin any one of you remember dat
you took any pertickular iuteres' iu

Not a voice was heard in reply.
'To lie a little plainer,' contiuued tho
President, 'ain dar one single pusson
in dis hull who eber felt five cents'
worth of anxiety for Brudder Gosh
port's worldly or spiritual welfare?'
The hall was so quiet that the sound
of Klder Toots rubbing bis back on tho
sharp edge of a window-casing gave
everybody a start.
'Not a man iu dis hull city, so far as
