A PLEASANT STORY.
It was a cottage. Don't tell me that
I don't know. Haven't ,I been there to
gather roses and feast on the strawber
ries 'No !it warn' a cottage ornee—
there was nothing Frenchifled about it.
It was purely American and harmoniked
sweetly with the delightful scenery. No !
it hadn't a flat roof, nor a portico ; noth-
ing at all of,thc kirid. But then it had
rose vines running all over the win flows,'
and, whole colonies of wrens thatbuilt
their nests and sang beneath its eaves.
To the right was a field of clover, red
with blossoms ; on the left was an or
chard whence wind scattered a showy
shower of bloom ; in front was a green
lawn shaded with sonie massive walnut
trees; and to the rear opened a long
grassy - lane, through which the cows
walked every morning to their pasture
beyond, and returned by the same way
at night.
, I know well * enough to whom this cots:
tago belonged. No,it wasnt' to a teacher
nor a preacher, nor an author—no such
a thing ! It was built by the hands of
him who owned it, and lived in it, and I
had always admired his Mileßent taste in
blending the useful with the beautiful,
though I had never •seen him, my visits
having always boon made to 'his wife,
and during his abseab. r had heard of
him though ; heard enough to mako - me
intensely curious to see s him ; for not a
female in the neighborhood 'approved
his wife's choice.
What is the matter with 'him?' I
asked, 'is he immDral?'
Not that I know of,'was the rejoinder,
' but to tell the truth, Dolly, he's insuf
ferably ugly his face is ' all scarred
and cicatrized, I should think by fire,
and you know it always makes me nerv
ous to look at anything of the kind.'
Poor man !Terhaps ho got burned
in rescuing some child or feeble woman
from thellanics,' I said.
'Don't know ; " never liCard ; never
made inquiries ; you know they only
came to live in this neighborhood last
'summer, and I never dared ask her what
disfigured him, but I wish you' would—
ohi I should him to know !'
" 1 ' I km tpusidorably acquainted with
Mrs. Winslow,' I replied, '1 thought of
calling upon her this morning ; perhaps
she will toll me without my asking.'
'Do that's a dear, good Dolly 1'
And I. did.
The whole atmosphere seemed redo
lent with music and fragrance ; I could
apt toll why all the birds had taken it
into their heads to sing, warble, and
'build their nests there ; and I don't know
why, ie was that the mosSes„ buttercups,
violets, and daisies should prefer that
place to any other; but they seemed to,
judging from the profusion .in, which
they grow.. The whole prospect was
delightfully • ;rural and Tpicturesque and
Over all lingered an inilnetice of dreamy
quietude and repose.
• A. narrow footpath, crooked as foot
p'itths always are, wound along through
.
the beneath,,the Shadows of a
giant Walnut,-and b,4' this I. approached,
entered the little gate,
,and ascended, the
gravel walls bordered by beds of flowers,

PENN'A -4 THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 20, 1872.
to that delicately rounded cheek; no
falling to that calm, quiet eye limpid ail
a lake in summer, serene as the heaven
in June.
There was a rustlo and flutter o
the sound of a light, springy stop,
the glimpso of a fairy form, and Mrs.
Winslow stood befOro me.- She was not'
very beautiful, but4sparkling and viva
cious, with the glow of health on her,
cheek and its light in her eye.
The baby had . roused up now, to be
.sure ; no mono of its thoughtful serenity.
Its little form fairly fluttered with joy ;
it laughdd, clapped its dimplod'hands.
You've come to stay all day with me,
haven't - you? and baby had such good
Company while mamma was gone, hadn't
it?' she said in a light, chirrupy way
that set the little fellow going again with
new delight. Her invitation hatanly
seconded my -design,
.so,
,removing my
bonnet and mantilla, while she sat down
on' the rocker and took the wo pre
pared to enjoy the day and each other's
society.
.1 can't tell what we talked about.
No ; it wasn't of .balls, nor operas, nor
lions, nor sights. No ; not; a neighbor's
character; Was •dissected. No ;
.the
id
firmities Of the clergymen were not
sli : Oivn:upr'No ; noVa.morsel of private
seandal was cut or carved. But tho
time hew swiftly and pleasantly after
dinner, and when the great round sun
was sinking behind the trees that burned
and glowed in the rin, warm light, she
came to where I was sitting, and with
out a word laid a portrait in my lap, it
was that of a noble looking- man, with
most expressive arid faultless features.
' Is it your hu‘sband?' I asked.
-'My husband as lie was,' she an
swered with a sigh. ' You.havo never
soon him
• I replied in the negative. „
'lt is almost-time for• him to ho hero,'
she continued. You will stay with us
this evening.'
I replied that I should be happy to
form his acquaintance, and again looked
at his portrait.
' Ho doesn't look like that now,'.,sho
^answered, wiping away a tear. 'Yet ho
says,' and a blush overspread her feat
ores, 'he says be shall ever have 'Cause
to bless the fire by which ho losthis good
looks, but which won him what ho es
teemed a thousand timesmore valuable.'
What is it?' I asked, with an unac
countable duiluess of approhension:
She pointed archly and with a sweet
smile to her wedding ring.
' Do tell me the story ; I should be de
lighted to hear it.?
Again she smiled, saying IP do not
know that you will consider it very in
teresting ; however, several reasons con
spire to make me wish that you should
know all, and since you have Dover
heard, perhaps I may as wall toll you.'
' Certainly ! certainly
`You see, when Mr. Winslow first
began his attentions to me, I wasn't at
all pleased, He was handsome, I knew,
,lout I had set my mind, very foolishly I
suppose, on having a rich husband, and
one that could keep me above the neces
sity of work. So I slighted and repulsed
him oil all occasions, making him feel
not merely indifferent, but actual loath
ing and scorn. Such treatment ono
might have supposed would have quickly
obliterated his passion ; on the'contrary,
however, it seemed only to increase it.
About this time I formed the ac
quaintanee;ef a city gentlemaqf whom
rumor reported immensely rich, and
Whose intense selfighness was veiled be
neath a manner of the utmost suavity.
His attentions to me were marked and
not to be mistaken—and. though he had
not spoken of love, he acted it, and I be
lieved hilt.
'At this tithe I lived with my mother.
in our beautiful cottage at North Bend.
The place was very gay, and social
parties largo and frequnnt ; I mingled
in then{ all, and Barton was my 'escort.
Sometimes I law Winslow, but ho sel
dom .approached me, though his deep,
sad oyes seemed following ino.
'lt was is October, I think, the at
mosphere was dry and cool, with night
winds, When, as we were returning froth
aparty, late at night, I was surprised
and shocked by the appearance of a deep
rod, light that scorned to climb the sky
and quench the very - Stars.' A wild and
awful c rs - e - n - tlmont of approaching evil
at th same time crossed my mind.' •
If that should uo our nousoj I almost
sin ielced
NonSonse—it is much farther oft;'
exclaimed Barron. <"2,"
'But I was not satisbed and hunhid
9p,- eagerly dragging hiM with me.
We. Caine nearer, nearer. My fears
.)voro all tob u true. It Was- indeed our
beautiful home, wrapped in one broad
shoot of smolco.and flaMe; j. - And forked
tongues were lapping the pillars, and
shooting from the windows; while up at
ono of the skylights stood my niother in
her night dress.
"With ono wild shriek• I called the at
tention of the crowd to her situation.
Hundreds of people had by this time
_collected, • though chiefly, as it seemed;
'for the gratification of curiosity. Some
were running with ropes and ladders;
.others'ehouting and giving orders, which
no one seemed inclined to obey.
'My mother(l„ my mother I cried,
' will ho-one go to- the assistance of my
mother
' Every moment the flames 'increased ,
with astimiShing . rapidity, surging - and
roaring like it sea in, a storm. Still
mother stood there, surveying the scene
with the, resignation 'of , a martyr.
'Alarton I Barton I shrieked, i for
9.08 sake, help my mother . Ho stood
stilt: I iMplored and- urged him. At
length ho turned
,thward' me with a
)
frown, saying :
cannot risk my own lifo •io eavo
'ovon-your own mother.'
"Great Heavens -and I have iodod
tills maw! -The thought rushed soothing
and soothing through my brain. . •
There was a shout, an exclamation,
and utterance of brave; strong words.
'Some nervouS arm had placed . a ladder,
and a man was rapidly mounting—on—
on—through the dense smoke - wreatlis—;
through singing flames, scorched by the
intonsost holit, on ho wont. It was
moment of intense susponso ; the crowd
swayed and murmured like a wide-swept'
wave. He appeared again know that
she was saved. Thou there was a crash
of the. falling. roof, mingled with wild
,errolamations ; and tv groat'
boforo.my oyes ; a , norse,not‘ unlike that
of tho roaring flamon who in my care, and
I lost the consciousness of surrounding'
objects. •
It is not necessary to toll Who it Was that
thus rescued:my mother, or what ems
ions experience '
deeply I wasindehtml to the man I hail
despised? It is necessary, however, for
mo to tell you that - there hoz.. forovor lost
the - goodloolcs which you adiiire in that
portrait. The clothes wore burned from
his body, and the 'flesh' of his face- and
neek . scarrul to tho consistency of loath
or.l
There„,, thertY, my clear,' Said a manly
voice at the door, ' you have told. enough;
let me finish.'
I looked up ; a Maii Was there, on
`whose countenance wore deep 'traces of
the fiery element, but ho didn't look ugly
to me at'all. tech scar seemed rather
a badge of hondr,,,end the vary • soul 'of
truth and nobleness beaming radiantly:
in his eyes. His
,wifo, presented him,
and giving me his hand be 'said :
One whom my dear wife. esteems so_
much cannot be a stranger to .me, and
'now, since she has told you part—for I
have boon 'a Sad daves.dropper—lot me
tell you the rest.'
-I joyfully assented. „
Then and there,' ho began, 'I heard
the flames roaring around me, and felt
the fiery breath scorching my )cheeks,
and seeming to lap up tho very springs
of life, but was conscious of only a groat
joy at my bearg for the mother of her I
prized was in my arms. I knew when I
touched the - ground, with-iny,--procious
charge, I heard tifk\exclamations that
rent the air, but couk only think I had
made her happy i and in the bliss of that
assurance riirgot for tho time my own
sufferings, the world, and everything.
' I lay ill-through several weeks—
through days and nights that Would have
been anguish indeed, had I not known,
whose care it was that hail provided
everything essential to my comfort ;
had not such a -sweet voice murmured
in my oar, such a soft hand ministered to
my wants. 'Never, in the proudest 'days
of my health, had I experienced such
felicity,as..now in my, weakness ; now,
when she sat. beside. me; when.„Slic
brought the fruit and flowers, when\ she
put" her Mind in mine and-Whispered
something
something that would:have repaid suffer,
ings a thousand times bitterer than mine.'
Oh, William I' she cried, blushing' to
the Tory roots of her hair, 'don't, tell
how very silly and foolish I Was.'
It was neither silliness nor folly,'
exclaimed, 'hut the reward of 'a greal
virtue and heroism. Lot him go on ;
am deeply interested.'
, r have little more to ta t ' ho resumed,
' but when I grow strong and well enough
to walk about, I obselyed that 'all the
mirrors had been removed: --Hitherto, in
my deep happiness, I had thought little
of the scams which I should have known
would deface my features. This inci
dent reminded me. of it, and excited my
curiosity. When I requested ouo to be
brought she implored roe A -._!*.-t, , And
finally- burst into tears. I knew it
,all
now, but.thank God it didn't shock nte
in the least.
'I took her in my arms,, and whispered
that since her beautiful face had becothe
mine, I saw no causo to regret the loss
of my old one, and wouldn't for the
world change back again. You have
seen and loved me,' Isaid, ' whereas you
didn't before ; you knew all my disfig
urement, and viith - it your manlier has
changed from scorn to kindnes, so I
hifv - cfbothing to mourn for.'
' Every day of my life sinco has con
vinced mo more and more that I spoke
the truth.'
A. WHOLESOME LESSON.
fly ALICE ROIIIIINB
Charles, how would you like to go to
Allston ?' asked Mr. Lyons ono morning.
As. it is your, vacation, and there are
some little matters which you might be
able to attendlo, it wad make .you a
pleasant trip. I Met - G9vernor - Dunlap
the other day. He is an old'sehooi friend
of mine, and he told me that it 'would
give him great pleasure to entertain you
at his house.'
' I should like it of all things,' said
Charles, with difficuliy keeping down tho
delight which threatened to send the
blood in torrents to his cheeks, for
Charles Lymbs prided himself upon his
coolness. ANgentlemon should never
show that ho is surprised,' was his max
im, and above all things ho wished to bo
quoted its a gentleman. To in) s9o, ho
was only seventeen, but ho had 'lint oil'
boyish ' sports and manners ago ;
studied deeply upon the Shade of Bid'
newest colors in gloves, or the most ele
gant. style' of •cravats ; was extremely
particular about the cut of his coat, and
would, not have worn an unfashionable
hat for {ill thowoalth of the uiiivorse.. I
am afraid Charles stood on the extreme
verge of Audyism, and that ho was in
danger of losing whatever of manliness
nature had originally imparted to him
from the moment ho began caxing thd
shado;Of a handsome pair of whiskers,
which made him in appearance years
older than ho really was.
' Mr. Dunlap is Governor of the State
now, is ha 'not, father'? asked Charles,.
placing his cup of coffee carefully back,
for his hand trembled With the excito-
Faint which the offer had given him.
Yes, anctioue of the best•mon living.
I never inct•with his equal for simple,'
earnest, high-minded maiihood. • lie is'
nearly worshipped by the people whono,
ho lives, and might, I suppose, keep his'
oilico for life, if ho should choose. But
it waS in a manner forced upon him., I
think he cards very little about it.'
'l'll havo thoso fino shirts clone,., just
in than, then,' said Anna Lyons, who
was very proud of , liar brother: 'I.
don't believe you'll Soo any so handsome
in Allston, or any other place. It has

broider thp bosoms, and there nrp only
two. I'M so glad.,they're all but finished.
How nico you 'Will look in your vow
suit
'I shall try to do 'the - family credit,
said Charles, swelling with pVda, as he
rose from the table. Ho did not say ho
conferiect nn honor on his father in ad
°opting the opportunity, but
,undoubt
edly ho felt that ho

And liarles felt that ho was irresisti
ble, as h -stood before the mirror, criti-
cally examinin,g' the effect .of his new
embroidered.shirt front, in which he de
termined to make his debut. fie 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 now
and elegant portmanteau strapped upon
his shoulder, his newouti jaunty travel
ing shit, he felt that he could defy and
conquer the world.
Behold him, then, on his journey, the
most particular" find punctilious of travel
ers, looking abdut him with an air of
kingly condescension, as if ho would.say,
' pm:) , notice me. I am an altogether
unique specimen, perfectly exceptional
as to styfe, Alress and address. My des
tinationis" the mansion of the chief ex
ecutive of the State. of Ordinary

less they wish tb be snubbed. Take
notice, all.'
Tho journey was nearly ended—the
cars were within two score milCs'of their
dcatinatiOn,—when — they stßiPpr 7 .d . at It
thriving town, where thb many empty
seats were soon taken up: biir hero had
passed an uncomfortable night, on ac
count of the crowded_ state of the cars.
Ho had just taken down hie stylishport
manteau, and placed it on the seat eside
him, that ho might avail himself, ifims
sibler of more space. Ono and another
speedily seated themselves in the vacant
places.
' Is this seat engaged,' asked a pleasant
voice.
Charles -Imiked up. A young man in
a rough coat a little the
, worse for wear,
A common woolen comforter ahont his
neck, j; shaggy and well-worn - cap im his
head, stood with ono, hand on thm ha:Mc
of the seat specified. Decidedly some
low fellow,' thought Charles, 'going UP
for work ; he looks exactly, like a band
out of employment.'
'lles,. it is,' was tho quick reply
You had bettor pass into the other car ;
ihereitre plenty of seats there—for such
as you,' was the disdainful addition, dionz
Veyed by look rather than speech.
.Presently the car moved on. The
young fellow stationed himself against a
projection in the partition, and stood
there patiently for some time. Then ho
returned to the charge.
'Doe3 this carpet-bag belong to you?'
he itsked, fixing a clear, cool bluo-Uyo
•
upon our exquisite.
lt isn't a carpet-bag,' was the putt
rejoinder:
`This portmanteau, then r'
Yes, it does.'
'Have you paid doiAblo fare :" •
'That's nob of your business,' re
.161 Charles
' Which moans no,' was 'the cool re
joinder ; and lifting the handsome arti
ar,he swung itin place on the rack, and
before the astonished Charles could find
his tongue, he had seated himself by his
side.
'That was an impertinent trick of
yours,' said Charles, hotly.
'Paid my fare, young man, and am
hound to have a seat,' was the laughing,
reply.
' Pm not used to sitting with greasy
-mechanics,' was,,tho low retort, not: so
low, however, but what it was heard by,
the other, whose eye Hashed 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 hele.i in them ; he ciist a glance over
the somewhat tlnCadbare "coat, and an
other at the rich' clothing of his coin-
Tanion.
'Oh, we're not so Innen at odds as
might be, if you're a tailor—as I take
you to be ; and I'm a carpenter,' he said,
laughing.
• ' You are impertinent, sir,' was the
Only reply vouchsafed by the indignant,
young man.
You told me that once botoro ; it
strikes, iiryou aro not conversant with
the rules of ,polite society. It is notgqod
breeding to toll a man oven a disagree
able truth.'
Charles gathered himself upp
,wrath
ful dignity, and looked from the lOndow.
Ile was angry that a man who, ap v peared
as if ho were devoted 'to some menial
calling, had the capacity and the audac
ity to aimwer Mill as if he considered him
golf his equal. •
`Traveling far West?' queried• ho of
the lionmit blue eyes, in a quiet voice, mi
if nothing had happone& and ho would
fain make up and ho friendly..
T Charles decided. not to answer him.
Then it occured to him that he would
put down this repulsive intruder once
for all, and in hisioftiost mating ho an
swored—
I am going ,to make a visit to Gov.
Dunlap ; doyen happon'to bo acqu'iinted

time only to ask the coachman who that
fellow was who spoke to him..
' 4- yopp_g man as does odd jObs for

and Charles, quite satisfied that ho was
right, enjoyed the admiring flanceS of

forgotten his little renco2aro by evening.
Two pretty daughters of his host, with
their cousin, made--his visit more than
agreeable, while the old Governor re
called reminiscences of his college days.
Suddenly the door was opened, both sis
ters sprang -forward with the cry,
,` It's
our dear old Hal !—brothor Harry, of
whom ; we haVe been tolling you.'
Charles stood rooted to 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 showers' of mischievous fun.
Tho blood rushed to his face and receded
again, -leaving him quite pale and faint

Harry, aside, to him. ' Nobody need to

me repeat- to you that I'm a working
man, and do little jobs for the Governor,'
and he turned away, laughing, as le
shook poor Charles by the hand.
. It was a good lesson for ou - . young
coxcomb, and in, his heart of hearts'he
acknowledged it as sucli. Never again

THE LONELINESS OF FAHMING
MENA' AMERICA
An American traveler in the Old
World notices, among the multitado' of
things that aro new to his eye, thd gath
•ering 'of agricultural populations .into
villages. lie has been accustomed in
ha own country to see them distributed
upon the farms they cultivate. The
isolated farm -life, so universal here,
either does norist at at! in the greater
part of could; ntal Europe, or it exists
as a comparatively modern institution:
The old populations, of all callings and
professions, clustered together for self
,defense, and built walls around them
:solves. Out from these . Walls, for miles
around, wont the tillers of the soil in the
morning, and back into the gates they
thronged at night. Cottages were
clustered around feudal castles, and
grew into towns ; and so Europe for
many centuries was cultivated mainly by
people who lived in villages and cities,
many of wore walled; and all of
which possessed appointments of defense.
The early settlers in oar own country
took the same means to defend thein-
selves from the treacherous Indian. The
towns of Hadley, Hatfield, Northfield,
and Deerfield, on the Connecticut River,
are notable examples of this kind of
building ; and to this day they remain
villhges of agriculturists. That this is
the way in which farmers ought to live
wo have no'question, and wo wish to say
a lbw words about it.
There is some reason for the generdl
disposition of American men and women
to shunligrigultural pursuits which the
observers and philosophors have been
slow to find. •We sco young mon push
ing everywhere into trade, into meehaiii
, Cal pursuits, into 'the learned profes
sions, into significant clerkships, into
salaried positions of every sort that will
take them into towns and simpcirt and
hold thorn there. Wo„ fincrit impossible
to drive poor people from the cities with
_the threat of starvatiop, or to coax thorn
with the promise of bettor pay and
cheaper . faro; There they stay, and
starve and sicklin and sink, ~ Y oung
women resort to the shops and the fac
tories rather than take service in farm
ers' houses, where 'they aro received as
'timbers of the family ; and when they
marry, they, seek _an alliance, When
practicable, :with mechanics and trades
men who live in villages and large
towns. The daughters of the farmer
fly the farm at tho first opportunity.
Thd towns grow larger all the time, and,
in Now England at least, the farms aro
becoming 'wider and longer, and the
farming population aro diminished in
numbers r , and, in some localities; de
graded in quality and character.
It ali Comes to this, that- isolated life
has vory little significance,- to 6.'social
being. The social life of the village and
the — city has intense fascinatiop, to the
lonely ,dwellers op the farm, or to a
groat multitude of them. Especially is'
thislke case with the young. The youth
of both sexes who have seep nothing of
the world have au' overwhelming desire
to meet life and to bo among the multi-^
tudo. They feel their life to be narrow
In its opportunities and its rewards, Ad
the pulsations of the groat social heart
that comes to them in rushing trains and
passing stoainers and daily nowSpapers,_
damp with the dews of a hundred brows,
thrill them with longings for' the places
where the rhythmic throb is felt and .
beard. l' They are not to bb blamed for
this: It is the most natural thing in tho
world. If all of life wore' labor—it tho
groat object, of life woro the scraping to

At k 4:..f pleasure. It is in colonies that
a lht to settle, and in villages rather
than on separated farms. The meeting,
the lecture, the public aniusement, the
)social assembly, should be things easily
reached. There is no such damper upon
free social life as distance. A. long road
is the surest bar to neighfforly,Tinter
course. If the 'social life'of the farmer
wore richer, his' lire would by that'
measure belle more attractive.
After all, there are 'farmers who will
read this article With, a sense of affront
or injury, as if by doubting or disputing
the sufficiency of their social upportuni- I
ties we insult them with a Bert of con-
P tempt. We assure them that they can
not afford to treat thoroughly 'sympa

that their xviveaffdd daughters and sons
aro on our side, 4ffarrel with -us as they
may ; and the women and children are
right. The old who rides to
market and the pcistoffice, and mingles
more or loss in business with the world,
I gets along tolerably well ; but it is the
stayers at home who suffer. Instead of
.growing wiser and better as they grow I
old, they lose all the graces 'of life in
unmeaning drudgery, and instead of
ripening.in mind_and_heart r they siMPly
dry up or decay. We are entirely satis
fied that the great curse Of farminglife
in America is its isolation. It is useless
to say that Men shun the farm because
they are lazy. The American js not a
lazy man anywhere ; brit ho is social,
and he -will fly from a life that Is not
social to one that is. If we are ,to have
a larger and better population devoted to
agriculture, isolation must be shunned,
and the whole policy cc settlement here
after must be controlled or greatly modi
fied by 'social - consideration.—ScribifOr's

A PICTURE OF DESOLATION.
How little the early planters of Vir
ginia foresaw the desolation of their
province is affectingly attested by many
of the, relics of their brief affluence.
They build their par", churches to last
centuries, like the churches' to which
they were accustomed 'at home.' In
the neighborhoods whore now a congre
gation of fifty persons could not be col
lected there ‘t arO the ruins of churches
that wore evidently built for theaccom
modation of,dumerous and wealthy com
munities ; a forest.; in some instances,
has grown up all around them, making
it diflictilt to get near the imperishable
walls. Sometimes the wooden roof has
fallen in, and ono huge 'tree, rooted
'among the monumental slabs of the
middle aisle, has filled all the interior;
Other old churches long stood solitary
in old fields, the roof sound, but"the door
standing open, in which the beasts found
nightlysheltar ; and into which the pass
ing horsemen rode and sat on his horse
before the altar till the storm ~passed.
Others have been used by farmert as
wagon-houses, by fishermen to hang their
soines in, by gatherers of turpentine as
storehouses. Ono was a distillery, and
another was a barn. A . poor, drunken
• wretch reeled for shelter into an aban
doned church of Chesterfield county—
the county of the first Jeffersons—and ho.
, died in a drunken sleep at the foot of the
reading-desk; where he lay undiscovered
until his face was devoured by rats. An
ancient font was found doing duty ad a
tavern punchbowl ;. and . a tombstone,
which served as the floor of an oven, used
to print memorial
_words upon loaves of
bread. Fragments of richly-coloi•ed ,altar
pieces, fine pulpit-cloths, and pieces of
old carving used to be preserved in farm
houses, and ,siiown to visitors. When
the late Bishop 31eade began his roundff,
forty years ago, elderly people would
bring to bird' Sets of plate
and single vessels, which had once be
longed to the parish church, long do
sorted, and beg him to take barge of
them.
Those pretty girls of the Apollo o
turned young 'Jefferson's'head in 1762,
and most of the other bright spirits of
that generatiodt-whore' does their dust

pest, was lying against, the front, chok

by a high brick wall of costly structure,

Sloping and `loaning down upon the

quite fallen .out. The remains of the
great Bible still lay on the desk, and
the tattered canvas that hung from
the walls':showed traces of the breed and
Commandments which had,:ence been
written upon it. The marblc; front was
gone ; it was a punch-bowl, the 'com
mander of the picket was told'. 'The
communion table, which had been a sti-perb piece of work, of antique pattern,
with a heavy walnut top, was in ild
place, butrouglionedrand stained by ex
posure. It was afterwards used as
chopping-block.' The brick aisle showed
that the church was the resort of ani
mals, and the wooden ceiling was aliVe
with squirrels and snakes., The few in
habitants of the vicinity—white trash.

of graves in dread, and scarcely dared
enter the tangled dell in --which they
were. It was only the runaway slave,
overcome by, ;?a, greater terror, flyina•
from a beingzpore awful than a ghost—
savage man—that ventured to go into

broken pews.

Alarcyknows,' said Aunt:Joruslia, ay
she settled herself in her small rocking
chair, - and - wiped her stool - bowed"specks
on her apron before placing them astride
her nose 'mercy knows I never slander

Ann—always knows Just what every ono

some folk's failing. We all hale our
failings I s'poso,' and a' sigh finished the
sentence.
Whether this harangue was addressed
to the world in general, or was for the
special benefit of a tall young lady seated
at the table near—by, inserting a pair of
Shears into a piece of cloth, 'vvo - ,do - -not
know. Tlui young lady made no reply,.
but a mischievous smile flitted over her
face, and a silence followed, unbroken
save by the vengeful snap of the shears
as they closed over the cloth, and the
loud tick of the clock in the corner.
Suddenly Aunt JeOsha peered out of the
window—'Look,..;Xinerva Jane, ain't
them the Carpenter girls, going by=?-,
Yes,' was the laconieretily:''''''Db you
see how they aro dressed ! Thoy came

watched-them down tho aisle clear to
their seats. They wore green_silks,
velvet coats, and their bonnets looked
like flower gardens,'l. noticed thoir furs
in particular ; they were new and fashion
able. Much cause they have to be proud.
I should think a glance at home would
lower their feathers some. But here
conies Mrs. Baker ! Oh dear ! She is a
regular gossip, and we shall have Co
listen to berlong yarns all the afternoon.
WhatS, bore she is !' A vigorous knock
at the door was followed by the entrance
of the lady in question. , Aunt Jorusha
rose with a beaming face to gieet bar
'My dear Mrs. Baker,, how do you do
I was just thinking about you', Lay
aside your things and spend the after
boon. Mineeva - Jane, bring out• the
rocking chair for Mrs. Baker.' The two
ladies were soon seated with their sew
ing, and Aunt Jorustra asked :
'Have you seen Mrs. Nash. recently?

of it. I s'poso you know ho stole the

doctor?' To be sure ; some folks say
he's her Cousin, but I don't believe it.'
'Well, now, I'do say,' replied Aunt Jo
