UNCLE BASIL'S NE IV 110 USE
BY AUGUSTA LARKED,
It was very odd it ever - should have
been built, and yet nobody was so much
pleased with the new house as Uncle Ba-
MEM
Before his niece, Clara, came to live
with him he had entertained io other
thought but to die in the old house—
very quietly, as he had lived—and be
carried across the road, under the shady
maple trees, and laid away in the little
burying ground he could so, plainly sec
from his south Window.
Thera was nothing gloomy in the pros
pect. He had pictured tO'hiniself, many
a time, how the neighbors would' come,
with. sobered fates, and. stand
.in the
sunny dooryard, saying to each other :
" Well, Uncle Basil is better off. . We
can't mourn his loss. Ile Was a great
sufferer."
I,le knew who his pall bearers world
be , =werither-beaten, horny-handed, far
mers, who could ill sic& half it dhy from
their 'spring work to attend a funeral,
and yet would do much more to pay re-
spect to his memory.
Uncle Basil had often mused about
these things, half drehmilk; as in th'e'
twilight he sat watching the light fade
from the top of a tall shaft in the bury
ing ground. It was' a broken pillar,
with a little ivy clinging to it, and on the
base was one Short name. There wasM:
white rosebush growing beside the shaft,
that in June blossomed with perfect en
thusiasm,,as ifit could not be too gener;
ons toward the IVorld ; and this broken
shaft, the short name, and the rosebush
had a meaning to Uncle Basil-they had
to nobody else. ,
When Clara came things seemed some
what changed. Uncle Basil almost for
got sometimes that he was weaned away
from life. She made a pleasant stir in
the house,' and brought a sense of music
and sweet odors, as if sweetbrier bushes
should blow ant thrushes sing in the
midst of January.
Clara was not quite pretty, but she.
was the eibbodiMent 'of quiet cheerful
ness. Her figure, you saw, would be a
little stout in middle life ; but now it
was only^full and round. Her dark"hair
had a trick of curling over her forehead,
and the color in her lilts and cheeks was
pure and lovely. - -
It was well understood that what Uncle
Basil died, possessed of, would go to
Clara, although no such words had ever
passed between uncle and niece. She
only-knew Uncle 'Basil's stoiy as it was
called, and how he came in 'possession of
his property, by vague hints. .
,
She was the daughter of an cider
btother. of Basil's, with s'hom he had
never been in close synivithy. she had
scrambledmp,- as it wore, in a large-fain-
ily, where there was athelti , ":tdo to make
ends meet ; and when the uncle wrotelo !
say he would take one or the girls, and
provide for her, it wtt, emidetTd, a / piece
of good fortune,.- .

simple dre'sses; and cook the,family din-'
tier, when the Mother, who was not over
strong, found herself incapable of—exer
tion. In UnCle Basil's house,' with its
air of refinement,; and stores of old china,:
and fine linen, ClaM came into a now
atmosphere. Hey step. like a tune,
as she went 'about the:little old rooms,
and opened the windowS,, brushed by ap-

ClarU could do 'nothiiig Lilt kiss him
and it was the best auSWer.
In those days Uncle Basil nevel• fretted
about the old house. It waSup,vrowand
plain, itnd the sills under the. kitchen,
part had rotted,hwaY and been replaced,
and the stoop at the back sagged,badly,
and every hard storm made anew stay,
for itself through . . the roof. Going to
pieces, breaking up, like its old master,"' ,
thought Uncle Basil ; and then he would
glance out on ,the comfortable garden,.
and the fruit. trees beside the sunny
south wall, and the box-bordered beds,
with periwinkle, and ftiur o'clocks, and
balsams blooming in them, with a feel
ing of companigietliip such, as he knew
Ile could nut haw°, clicwllero., Moreover
there was the little burying ground, and
the broken pillar of purest marble ; Un
cle B:Mil did not trouble himself to con
jecture what lire would be to him without
them in his daily Not that he had
sick ui disordered fancy, for death to
him meant only large, life.
One day the village schoolmaster was
coming to take tea. It was a day in
June, when the bii'ds were almost be
sides themselves with happiness, arid
every moment the leaves appeared to
grow thicker and the sky bluer. The
teacher Was a poor yOung collegian, who
made people forget, his rusty clothes and
patched boots by his racy talking and
infectidus light-heartedntss. . They said
by meant to be a minister when he had
earned . money enough to pursde hit
studies. His Christianity taught him to
go bravely along through every rough
path.
Clara had set the doors-of the house
open wide, and beside the stops great
domes of syringa bushes Were WI Of
white blossoms and alive with bees. Now
she was busy .with the tea table, and it
looked like a picture. The, old chiiia—
little squat cups and tiny saucers, as
transparent as egg-shell---had been got
down from the.'-corner cupboard. She
had cut the sponge cake, and fixed the
napkins and mats 11. was lucky there
was just strawberies enough to sill the
best glass dish ; and through the kitchen
.doar_Came-tlie-fragraMie-of- 7 1tiseuits,—as
light as a feather, and the aroma of bob•
tiling tea. ,
Uncle Basil bad put on his company
slippers and dressing gown, and sathold
ing on to the arms of his chair, with a
little Ilush of expectancy .in his counte
nance ; for the •17isit of a stranger, was
considerable event in his uneventful life.
Stephen Mallory tapped . twice -at the
portal, and, receiving no summons to
enter, walked into pie room,. and an
swered 'Uncle Basil's' greeting with such
hearty warmth that all doubts were at
once set at rest.
Stephen Mallory's face was very plain
—a kind of odd jumble of features,'with
out much order. But he had a set of
firni white teeth, and a pair of kindly,
expressive eyes, and when he talked in
his eager way, with a merry laugh break
ing out now and _then, everything was
changed. Uncle Basil looked up at this
healthy, joyous, loving young creature
with a. kind of mild surprise. Ile had
almost forg,oiten how beautiful the youth
of man can be.; and the revelation of it
iu Stephen Mallory was like a miracle of,
hem:licence. n .
Before Clai'a came in to say the tea
was ready, StiiphtM hail gist down some
of Uncle Basil's books, and they were
discussinri the classics of antiquil.3% And..
everynow and then the young teacher, ,
in his deep, 'musical voice, would roll oat
a generous line from cum or other of the
L:ltin poets, which brought another out
of the depths of the old scholar's mem
ory, uutilhis sensitive face, relined by
illness, was in a glow.

then his chair was rolled out to the tablo f

gliMpse of lthie and Misty bills showing
through the laced. apple bows; and in an
hour's time it seethed as though Stephen
Mallory had made for himself a wa'an
place in,the old invalid's affections.
. After that Stephen got M. the way of

me, with nothing but the clothes on my
back, a little learning in my head, and a
heart that never falters.. I ,am ready,
liho Jacob, to servo seven years for 'my

Clara knelt down and pressed the 01 , 1
man's knees and kis'sed his feeble hands.
"1I said would never leave you . ,
'mice," she' whispered ; " and I never
Will. I it from love, and not from
a sense of duty."
' Uncle Basil was speechless for a mo- -
Mont. A sweet, Odeseribable emotion
waS maiming his breast. I think he
must have been thanking God in his
heart that anything so beautiful as a
romance of young love should have conic
into the narrow circle of his old ago.
He stretched out a hand to Stephen, and
held Clara - with the other arm.
:`lt is just what I might have prayed
for," said he, in tremulous tones, "if
such prayers were seemly ; but the way
hearts incline to each other is a beautiful.
Mystery of nature.- None can meddle or
make. Love goeth, where it listeth, like
the wind ; but now it is as it is; I praise
the Lord."
That night and the days follois:ing the
new house upon the bill was planned.
Uncle Basil seemed to have taken a new
ease of life. lie woke up from his
dreams, and went to work with vigorand
foresight, for it pleased him infinitely to
picture this new family lie was • to help
establish in the world—a new centre of
joys, and eaves, and sweet affections.
TIM old invalid bachelor, so many years.
solitary, had always cherished the sweet
ideal of domestic love. He had come
short of it, sadly and hopelessly ; but he
believed - in it with all his hcar t t.
Ins scheme was to build, with whut
money there was, a new house upon the
hill. There would be enough left to
stock the young par: ; ;on's library. The
farm would yield them a modest support;
and on Sunday Stephen could go to the
church, where they yvere too po - Or to
maintain . 0
minister, and miach to the
people.
It made Uncle Basil restless with Inip
piness to think of all that waS being
lived through- now, in the old house.
Surely the.dayspring- from on high had
visited him. , TherOseemed to be a-rust
ling of soft wings in the air about his
head. The wintry fields were as pleas
ant as green meadows. The stars came
nearer; and ilibythioNild
dews and balms. But he woke up in the
night sometimes and, pictured• the re
moval. how the Bld, familiar place
would be loft untenanted, with windows
looking like eyeless sockets. When he
thought of the little bui'ying ground, and
the broken shaft, where the white rose
bush had budded and faded in hit view
so many years, his heart was troubled.
Masons and builders came,
work on the new house progressed rap
idly. Eery pleasant day tho old man
could watch the walls rising and hear
the click of trowis and hammers. In
early spring Stephen and Clara were busy
taking up roots and plants from the old
dooryard, and setting them about the
now house. They had been married
three months, but there was no change
in the habits of the old house. Clan
rosfr i carly, put on her neat- calico dress
and got the breakfast, as she had al
ways done.
Now, at the end of May, the weathe
had turned very sort and warm. 11'
dows stood open, the orchards where
thick with blossoms. , . Thu walls of , tilt,
new. house had been pronounced -dy,.
and the day before the removal had come•.
Clara had' 'dope a deal of packing, add
had carried over some of the choicest of
the household things by hand ; but
lJiielo Basil's room, as yet: hidnot been
Igt urbed
There wag it gentle, unspokou sadness,
over them all, that evening,. as they sat
together in, the old man's room, through
tholong soft,hrowntwilight, with young
leave's fluttering upon the niltples
_and

the spring dark deepened, the moon rose,
, and a long Slant,beam stole. thwugh..the,

The English papers are at the present
time devoting much attention to the
great questions of polititaleconothy, and
among the phases' of the dismission is
the condition of the laboring - classes. .A

reviewing it, The Leaden , Taegraph makes
some interesting, synopsis. From these

Englishman would recijiire bread,' cheese

No such other picture of a contented

the _comber of church festivals, kept. as

days in the year, the amount of wages
annually received is very small. The
great advantage in Greece is that pro

the, habits of the' people are Simple and
frugal in the extreme..
"TILE EL DORADO."
Spain is nGt likely to tempt an Eng
lish laborer, arid in Russia wages are ex
tremely low, so, taking all in all, other
European markets arc not nparly so
goOd as the English for a good laborer,
and nowhere has he any better chance of
work than at his door. There is really
only one foreign country to which the
wistful eye of the laborer may be use
fully direbt4 iiid tAat ato'ilie, tufted
States of America. That is the bound,
less field where the "brawny arms of the
laborer are sure to be employed, and
where industry and p - erseverance are
certain to be rewarded ; for nowhere else
do we !milt.' that the wages . ' of 'skilled
workmen hVerage so high from 95.' , `10
15s. a day, and that of unskilled work ,
men, such, as labOrers, teamsters-.and
watchmen, from 2s. 6d. to 7s. GiL a day.
There is one feature, . moreover; in llre -
American labor market which exists
nowhere else, and that is that it affords
ample room for any number of workers.
ThOSputhern_Slates.af_the--Union pre--
sent the mcist promising field for emi
grants hnd laborers. In the State of
Alabama there'aro hundreds of planta
tions totally uncultivated, inoonsequeriee
of the owners being unable to firocure
laborers. In Savannah there is more
work than the force ht hand can accom
plish, and an influx of steady, reliable
laborers is specially wanted in Virginia ;
while California is described asapara
diSabr female servants, and- in the Pa
cific States the position of the artisan and
industrial classes is one of great pros
perity. They are independent, well
housed, well fed, and ' g enerally self-re

SCITOOD .RDOlf DISEASES.
The Educational Record sayS The
celebrated German physiologist, Dr.
Virchow, of Berlin, lately addressed to
the Minister of Public Education of Prus
sia, a.,report upon the diseases incident
to and connected with schrml, rooms,
which is full of valuable information
upon this subject. A. leading disease,
which to . some extent is belley,9lLto or-
iginate in the school room, is myope or
short-sightedness. Of the 10,000 schol
ars in the schools 111' and in the neigh
borhood of Breslau, the capital of Silesia,
17. per cent. are , ncai'-sighted.'Affie
smallest percentage of diseased eyes was
found in the village schools, .and the
largest in the highest classes of the-col
leges in the city. In the ," gymnasimn"
392 , , per cent. of all, the students were near
sighted, while among every hundred stu
dents of the University the eyesight of
08 was , impaired. The causes of • this
disastrous condition were found not only•
in the insufficient light of , the school
room, but principally in the permanent
'nearness of, the teadingffiatter to the.
eye connected with. the 'fending forward
.oLtberlieads.._ Alteratiens offfight and

alinost every girl of a class liigher •,than

constantly entering into' the seats on the

monary diseases are also ranked ainong
those which may be induced by the lin
perfect construction of school-houses.
Poor ventilation, dust in school rooms,"
and especially the defective movements
of-the lungs amid the diaphragm, must
occasion "twiny pulmonary diseases.
Scrofulous taints are-also developed and
aggravated by causes such as those men
twined, while a large class of Miami - Anal
complaints dud their-origin ill, defective
seats, improper cohfinement, and false
habits in the schools, whereby the circu

underlying the rbp . oyt. ' They arc' in
tensely interesting, and should be studied
attentively and thoroughly by the friends
of eduCation in this country. In all the
large cities our school houses have been
vastly improved within the last few
'years. There is more room, ventilation
is freer, light better, and the heat distri
buted more equally. But the end of
needed improvements has not boon
reached.
BETTY'S NIGHT WITH A BEAR
=9
What a dark wood, and what is little
brown'houso, right under the shadow of
the tall Minnesota pines l Coming upon
it, though, after long miles of silent for
ests, it seemed quite gay and lively,. and
if you wont in, and saw the bright-faced
Inothei:, and the three wild childyen, and,
after a while, the tall, sunburnt father,-
you made np your mind this was almost
a village. • Then a few rods further on,
and the wood opened out to the clearing,
where, day after day, the father worked
in his great field of corn and potatoes,
which sca - ray needed scare-crows, be
cause the blackened stumps, still stand
ing, each seemed to be one. Then the
lake, and the brook which emptied into
it,. and, on .the other side, the maple
wood, where- sugar was made in the
spring, when the Indiahs came down
from the tipper lakes.
lii Elio whiter, the woods were, filled
with lumbermen, who camped only a
mile or two from therm and through the
summer thoy,amused themselves in ways
you would never dream of. And stChe
years went on,-- and little Betty, the
youngest, came to be four years. old.
It was August, a hot, bright' da,y,and
the very height of the huckleberry sea
son.
I—want-rycar--to---do
your prettiest to-day." ,Alrs. Bower said
early in the ;morning. "If you want
your Rll of huckleberry pie this winter,
you've got to,get me a bushel more be
fore they're gone."
" I found a place yesterday," said
Jack.. " I bet there''s half a bushel any
how. Put Betty down iu the middle, an'
she might fill a two-quart pail without ,
gating- up;F '
" Well, bring- home all you can," said
the. mother ; "and hero's your dinners
in this little pail. Look dar‘for Betty."
"She 'll look out for herself; she's
cute as - an Injin this minute." •
And Jack picked up his basket, and
started on, frtilowed by Sarah and Betty
in Indian-file. F .
Five or 'S'inniles to the best huckle
berry field would seen a long way to you,
but the children's brown, bare feet never
tired.
Before long, they passed a little lake,
stopped tbcre a mpment to drink, and
soon reached the opening where the ber
ries grow thickest.'
,What with finding better and better
places, and'gtopping; sometimes, to watch
the scolding squirrels, and then to erti
dinner, they went swiftly by, and it was
almost.sunset when they turned toward
home, with heavy pailsand basket. Bet
ty lagged behind, far she ached ' with
long stooping, and Jack and Sarah grew
more impatient.
" Nojir, Betty, we 'II just leave you, if
you don't hurry. You ve got the littlest
sail. Come along quick,". said Jack.-
"I can't. I won't go quick if I don't
want tA2>aiid Betty half cried. • • .

Mg on ; and Betty, indignant, sat down
on a log, and-. waited 'till they wer

Jack turni3d once or twice, - aiid seeing
her ;follOwing slowly,' 'concluded she
would soon overtake them, and went on.
, Now , and then Betty stormed, the last
time till they . Were ontfrelY out 'of sight,
determined to show she did apt depend
upon them at, all. • • ,
The shadows lengtheeed; the wood
had }lover seeped so dark; and, at last,

No . ansiver save' the ;echo, and now

Jack, with a slice of bread in his 'and,
went out a little sulkily;and,Mr. Mower
stood in the door lOoking down 'the
'Half an hour went by. , •
, .
"I don't see what's .the matter," said
Mrs. 'Brower, "I'm, sort of worried,
John.
,taint you a mind tolo out?" ~
For answer, Mr. Brower took down
his gun and started. For an hour or
More Mrs. Brower waited, growing more
and more anxious. Then she , walked
downliiio frail, calling now and then
comingiddenly at "last upoh her hus
band and Jack.
"Here's Jack, done beat out," he
said. ' "Take him tome, wife. I'm go
ing for old Pierre Beauchamp. Ho
knows every turn and crook o' t'ho
woods. Keep the fire going, for it's a
raw night, and the child 'II be cod whenwe bring her in, and 'don't fro ;" and
Mr. Broiver turned down the of trail to
Pierre's cabin.
I can hardly toll you how ho night
went by to the poor mother, w itingand
watching, or to'the father, who, with old
Pierre, scoured overt' foot of the . woods
on each side of the trail, and by the light
of their pine -knot torches, searched each
hollow tree, thinking • the child might
pos,sibly have crawleffinto one for shelter.
They shouted and called ; but morning,
dawned at last, with no sign of Betty,
and the father, exhausted, and almost -
despairing, sank down under ono of the
tall pines, andbid his face in his hands.
Suddenly he lifted his bead.
`;',Dat vay," ' old Pierre said, as his
quick ear caught a slight sound, and Mr.
Brower darted Off to the left, but stopped
short, and stood with such a ghastly face
that old Pierre, too, paused a moment.
Not a stono'S throw from them flowed a.
wide, deep creek, one of the tributaries'
of Gulf Lake, tAld crossed here by an old
log thrown over it_long- ago , lii -, the..ln
dians. &white birch grew by its side,
and under it laid Betty, resting partly
against a hum; brown bear, apparently
asleep. At the slight cracking in the
brush it raised its head, and growling
lot', put one paw on the child's dress ;
then, as if scenting danger,, turned about
and with a fierce; loud, growl, caught
Betty in' its month, and started toward
the log.
" Vat - you do? Vat you do ?" 4 Uaid old
Pierre, as Mr. Brower leveled his gun.
"You shoots not now - and roads de bear,
den do chile all,gone ; vait a one minute.
Hold you-still--not cry; keep you mooch
quiet !" he called to Betty. "Not be
feared if you falls in de vater."
As he spoke do bear - had reached the -
•middle of the log, and=turnedrnew, to see
'if he Were followed. The small fierce
-eyes rested,a second on the' pair, and in
that-second;-old Pierre, the best shot in
Minnesota, fired. Without struggle, or
: .sound, the bear reeled from the log to
the dark water below, and .in ono itio
-ment—Mr.—Bowerbad—ilablidil in, Arid
seized the screaming child. _
"Do prettiest 'shot die bon gun did
'ever fire," ,old Pierre shouted; hugging
his gun, and dancing wildly about, while
Mr. Brower hugged Pierre and the gun
and - Betty all at once, and then ran on
toward home, forgetting all weariness in
this great - joy.
They were a happy family that day,
as, sitting about the bed where Betty lay
__
iir state, they tried to make her tell when
the bear came to her, and how she felt.
"I rolled - way down somewhere," said
Betty, "and sort of went to sleep, and
then I cried when I woke up, because I
was all scratched an' smarty. Then I
heard somefifi comin' an' did n't cry any
more, an' it came an' snuffed all round
me. I thought maybe it would eat 'like
up, but I could n't cry, only I sort of
whispered. 'Now I lay me,' an' it kop
smellin' me. Then it lay down an licked
me. It's tongue was all rough an'
scratchy ;it hurt me. But When I tried
to get away it growled. Then I kept
still, an' I did ii't remember till it picked
me up, au' made me cry, cCz tho teeth '
pinched me, an' then I heard Pierre hol—
ler, an' you got me out of the water."
Do you think this can't be true, boys,
and girls? I know it is, for Betty, her
self, told me the story. She is living
still, and if - you aroVery anxious to find
out her real name, write to me, and I
will tell you.—Henth and - Home. - .".
