TI1K TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., JANUARY 28, 1879. What luid he ln thinking of all summer)1 " I must go away a, toon an possible, " she thought. "It will not do to stay here another week. I will go In town." Miss Htanloy did not go to town the next day. Hhe went to her old home, the convent, and stayed all day and all night. The next morning she went to the Cottage, and told Mrs. Coolldge and lilly that she had concluded to remain at the convent until the Hall should be ready for her reception. " Hut you will wait and ace Eugene Mra. Coolldge itald. "Ho ha been out since early thin morning. to will soon belli." " I promised to return Immediately," nalil Hose. " Hut you will say good-by to him for mo. Htay. I will write It." Blie drew an escritoire toward her, and wrote : My Draii Fiiirno: After so much ftayoty, it seems to me that I need a lit UeiiiU't; and so 1 have concluded to stay at the convent awhile. If you want anything of me, you can send.you know. J)on't think me capricious In leaving you so abruptly. 1 only to-day realized that this Is my last chance for Home time to make a ret rent, (lood-by till you call on me at the Hall." Hoth Mrs. Coolldge and Lily thought that they understood tho meaning of this sudden move, and that It referred to Charles Wilson, lilly was not sorry. It gave her the opportunity she desired to comfort the young man undisturbed by the presence of the one for whom he -would be every moment forgetting her. Charles had said that he could not again come to the Cottugo while Itoso wa9 there; but ho had pressed Lily's hand at parting, and colled her his "sweet friend." Now he could come. As her carriage turned the corner of the street, In going away, Hose saw the - doctor approaching In his buggy from an opposite direction. Hhe leaned for ward, and gave him a smiling bow, thinking again : " Ho must not believe that I am an J?ry." Ho bowed but slightly In return, and there whs no smile In answer to hers. -fllut he looked at her, with an eager, questioning look leaping into his keen eyes. Her carriage turned, and hid him from her; but In a moment after sho heard his swift wheels behind them, and in another moment ho was alongside, and had stopped her driver. He was looking very pale, and his expression was at once piercing and anxious. "Where are you going?" he asked abruptly. 8he told him, and added that she had written good-by to hint. Bhe knew that ho was almost beside himself for having ttpoken the words that had driven her from him, and strove to act as though she had forgotten them. Hut he felt tho indifference. There was an air of constralnt,ln plte of her, and a touch of pride and embarrassment in- her man ner. Bhe was no longer the timid yet confiding child, but the proud yet friend ly lady. His words had struck more deeply than Bhe had dreamed they would. "You go because you are angry with tue," ho Bald quickly ; " because I have insulted you 1" " I do not," she replied, tears rising to her eyes. " If you think that, then I shall turn directly back to your house ; but I want very much to make a re treat." He held out his hand to her. 41 (Jo, then, child, if you wish to; but do not for an instant sutler an unkind thought of mo to rest in your heart. I do not deserve It." " I know that you do not," she said earnestly. He smiled faintly, touched his hat, and, turning his horse's head, drove back home. In a few weeks Mrs. Burkhardt and . her son had left the Hall, and under . Mrs. Coolidge's direction it was being prepared for its new mistress. In one thing Hose had been willful, almost hard. The room in which her mother had died so long ago, a little room ad joining Miss Fairfield's suite, was left unchanged ; but not another stick nor rag of furniture would she retain. " It seems to me unwholesome," she said. Moreover, she had resolved on send ing away all the servants, and having new. Doctor Thayer had expressed sur prise and Borne disapprobation at this. " I am sorry to do or wish anything which you do not approve," Rose had said to him ; " but I am quite In earnest about this. If my mother had not died, then it would have been different." Bhe spoke almost in a whisper, and the eyes Bhe lilted to him as she ceased were full of a strange terror. Ha said , no more. He saw that she had a sus picious fear of every one in the bouse. Mrs. Coolidgo was nothing loth to take these arrangements on herself. Bhe was capable, energetic, and liked to have large means at her command. Be sides, she had no duties to prevent her, Her husband was absent in Europe on business, and would be gone six months longer. Their means were moderate, and It certainly was no disadvantage to her to have a beautiful home free for herself, her two children, and a ser. vant, instead of having to pay loard for them. Then she loved Hose fondly, and found the task of advertising, chaperon ing, and petting her a fascinating one. Hy the middle of November the Hall was newly fitted up, thanks to carte blutwhe as to money, and almost Inex haustible energy In the lady directress. A part of the furniture had previously been ordered from Paris, and was al ready awaiting their pleasure. Hut Just as the crowd of visitors be gan to besiege the Hall, and sue for the notice of the beautiful young mistress, Hose astonished her friends by making a new move as sudden ns It was unex pected. Hhe was going Immediately to Europe, In company with Mrs. Burk hardt and her son. For the first time, Doctor Thayer vol unteered advice unasked ; and for the first time Hoso disregarded his advice. " I thought that you did not entirely trust Mrs. Hurkhardt," he said. The two were sitting alone In one of the great parlors of the Hall, when Hose announced her Intention to the doctor, Bhe had, as yet, told no one else. He was looking very pale, ami had paused a mo ment after hearing her Intention before venturing to speak. " Mrs. Hurkhardt has told me , all about my poor mother's death," said Hose sadly. He looked at her In astonishment. " How dared she V" "I feel better for knowing it," Hose went on quietly. " I would not tlare to dell no tho strange feelings I had before she told me. Hhe Is to be pilled, for she has suffered very much in consequence ; hut she could not be content without telling me. I am glad that she kept the matter quiet. It would not have brought my poor mother back, and it would have punished tho apothecary very severely. In a world where so much crime goes unpunished, it is a pity that people should suffer too much for mistakes. Mrs. Hurkhardt sunt me away chiefly becauo tho sight of me reminded her of that trouble, but she meant to help me Afterward." "Sho sent you to grow up without training or education, to become fitted only for a servant, when your mother met her death here under Mrs. llurk hardt's roof, and partly, at least.th rough her fault. Moreover, Mrs. Hurkhardt must have known your mother." " Hhe Bays she did not," tho girl re plied, " and I am bound to believe, hav ing no proof to the contrary. Hut my mother must have known who she was. I don't pretend to say that Mrs. Burk hardt did no wrong: she accuses her self, indeed ; hut we must forgive some thing, and I forgive her. Bhe Is sorry. What more con I ask V" Doctor Thayer sat,wlth knitted brows, wondering over the consummate art of that woman. Seeing all other ways of conciliating the girl full, Mrs. Hurk hardt had appealed to her religion. Hose could treat with gentle reserve the proud and worldly woman who sought to In fluence her only through her pride or her vanity, but the heartbroken peni tent her pity and affection went out to ; and If a trace of distrust yet lingered, she accused herself of it as a sin, and strove to atone for it by showing a still greater kindness to her relative. " I strongly advise you not to go," said Doctor Thayer, presently, speaking with an emphasis quite knusual with him. " But I have promised," she said. And, gentle as her voice and manner were, he felt that her resolution was taken. " Aunt Barbara has lost a great deal by me. Bhe really is not as rich as people suppose, and it is only by being with her that I can persuade her to take anything from me. I told her," Hose said, growing pale and looking down, " that If she should marry any friend of mine, I would give her the Hall back for a wedding present. Doctor Thayer blushed scarlet. What did the girl mean V Had Mrs. Burkhardt been playing any tricks on credulty V or had Hose heard of such a possibility from some one else V " What friend of yours do you expect her to marry V" he asked abruptly. "Oh, I don't know," she replied, glancing up, and immediately blushing deeply at Bight of his confusion. " Rose," he exclaimed, half-laughing, yet angrily, " do you mean me V" Bhe looked down again, and was uu able to reply. The doctor started up, and walked im patiently to a window, gave the curtain a pull aside, only to let it drop again, and came back to lean on the back of his chair, looking embarrassed and dis tressed, yet angry. " I suppose I must forgive you," said he ; " but it is very provoking, as well as very absurd. Iam no longer a boy, but it does seem a rather premature put ting me among the gray-heads to assign as my choice for a wife a woman of fifty years old. I am hut forty-one, and would be likely to want my wife to be a few years younger." " I didn't make the story up," Rose said, blushing ; " and I'm glad that you forgive me," with a faint little sparkle of mischief. " You will not go V" " I must go. I have made up my mind." " You have also made up your mind to marry Clarence?" her friend asked, watching her closely. To be Continued. Rev. Plato Johnson on the Prophetlo Con ference. BELUBBKD imUDDHIN t - Home oh you Is aware dat fur do last free months I has been a laborln' so hard dat I sprained de llgermunls ob my froat. I knoweddatl couldn't take up no col lection unless I had de voice to ask fur It, an' It takes more voice to get a good collection lu dls meetla' house dan you's 'ware ob, so I 'eluded to turn de key In de door and Jlne de convention In New York wot says dat do Lord am a comin' iiex' week, sooner or later, more or less. I boarded roun' permls cuous fur freo days un' nltes an' heered ebbery word dat de prophet sed. Now I'se back agin 'mongst your honest cul lored hearts, an' wld my own people, who Is juss ignorant null' not to belclb ebberytlng dey hearB. My pore ole bed has ben most upsot. I did my best to understan' wat It was all about, and sat all day In do front seat ob de gallery, wld my pencil an' paper, ready to put down dedute ob de mlllennarum; but some how do speaker missed It, or sed It so low I didn't catch It. An' now, I'se sorry to say dat I don't know no more bout it dan I did 'fore I went, an' p'raps I don't know so much. I'se got a little more mixed dan I ebber was, an' diit's all I fetched away. De speakers was all sartln ob dere own 'lection, and tried to tell us wat dey was goln' to do wen he was led' behln'. Ebbery one ob em had his own way ob flxln'upde mutter, till at lass I began to tlnk dat dere wouldn't bo much ob a percesslon uftcr all, an' dat wat little dere was would be berry .peculiar. Dey 'greed, howebher, dat nobody knowed anything about It, an' dat, dcrefore, it was goln' to form right off Dey 'greed also dat dere wouldn't be many New York men In it, 'cept do folks wat got up de Con vention I didn't lose my fullh In do Bible, spite ob all dey sed. One time wen dey was provlu' for ded shore dat nobody knowed anything 'bout de Bible but (ley selves, an' den went on to 'scribe wat ain't in it, an' showed dat it wasn't in it by tex' on tex', I hugged do ole book and sed I to myscl', In spite ob all you say, brudders, dere muss be sum parts ob de Bible dut has common sense. Now, belubbcd, one werd more. If dat conference is correct, your pastor maybe called to a bigger church an' a bigger salury. Brud der Tyng sed dat wen he Is caught up In do air his congregation will be left behln' to get 'long do bess way dey can. He's ben preachln' wid all his mite, haint took no vacation, an' nebber strained de llgerments ob his froat, but still ho halnt done no good. His con gregation is goln' to stay whar dey bo an' read do lethargy ebbery Sunday same as usual. De wlte man's failure Is de cullered man's opportunity. I made a good impression on de sexton an' talk ed kindly to two ob de ushers, an, wen Brudder Tyng gibs It up as a bad job I specks to git do call. Deday am a comln' wen de cullered man will be icalled to de front, cos his bed am so thick dat none of dese 'ter- pretatlonsobScriptercan getfroo. Far's I can Judge from dat Convention de cullered man Is de only one dat can be 'pended on, de only man wat can't find In de Bible wat alnt there. Good bye, brudderin, cos I leave you nex' week. Take up a big collection an' gib your pastor a good send off. Woman's Sharp Wit. A witty woman, if she is also pretty, seems to be licensed to say what she will to friend or foe. During the war for Independence, the ladles of the South freely exercised the sex's privilege After the surrender of Charleston, the British arms were, for a time, triumph, ant In that section. Many of the lead log men, through fear of imprisonment and of losing their estates, renewed their allegiance to the King. Most of the women, however, adhered to their Whig principles, and were not reticent in ex pressing their sentiments , Mrs. Daniel Hall, a noted Whig, ob tained permission to visit her mother on John's Island. As she was getting into the small boat that was to carry her to the island, an English officer, in an au thoritatlve style, demanded the keys of ber trunk. 44 What do you expect to find there V asked Mrs. Hall. 44 1 seek for treason," replied the of ficer. 44 You may save yourself the trouble of searching my trunk," said the lady, 44 for you can find plenty at my tongue's end." Another lady once rebuked the haugh ty Col. Tarlton In a way that made him wince, This cruel but efficient leader of the English cavalry was defeated at the battle of Cuwpens by Colonel Wash lngton,who also wounded the English man In the hand. Home time after the battle, Tarlton remarked to a lady, who was extolling the merits of his former antagonist," You appear to think very highly of Col. Washington; but I have been told that he Is to Ignorant as to be hardly able to write his own name." 41 It may be the case," quickly replied the lady, 41 but tioone knows better than yourself, Colonel, that he can make his mark." A Faithful Dog. CIIAItLEY DYKEMAN.a handsome auburn-haired youth, was the son of an iaHt Kockaway farmer, mree years ago he bought a puppy, half New foundland and half hunting breed, for which he cherished extraordinary regard. Ho fed him with his own hand, attended to his wants, and would allow no one to molest hi in nor to Interfere with his comfort. The dog In turn evinced, It seemed, the utmost affection and gratitude for this kind treatment. He followed his master everywhere, and would eat front no other hand than his. He capered and barked with extrava gant Joy whenever Charley appeared. In the middle of last December young Dykeman died, and being very popular, hud a large funeral. The procession had scarcely moved before a large black dog with a rope around his neck and a piece of broken rope dangling from It, Jumped from the roadside and dashed by the rear carriages stationed blmself, panting, under the hearse. His shaggy coat covered with mud and torn with briers. "It's Charley's dog I" exclaimed a dozen persons who had seen the animal In his master's lifetime, and who knew him well. I tow he had managed to get loose no one could tell. Every effort to coax him from under the hearse fulled, and he was allowed to remain there. During the whole of the seven miles' Journey the dog tolled wearily on through the mud and slush, never parting company with the hearse until it reached the little cemetery In the rear of the Presby terian church In Hempstead. After the earth had been smoothed over the grave, and the last mourner had quitted the cemetery, the dog sprang from behind a bush, and, with a long howl, sank down on the newly-made mound. He lay over the head of the grave in a crouching altitude, with his fore paws extended and his head burled between them. Darkness came on, but he did not stir. The cold increased, yet ho lay stretched out upon the damp earth, and refused to move. All night he remained there. When, early the next morning, a wandering lad from a house across the street crept into the little churchyard, he found the dog, cold aud half frozen, at his post. Ever since, day and night In cold and rain, the poor dog has remained faithful at his post. He has been repeatedly taken away only to return. During the Intense cold on Friday, Jan., 3, when the thermometer fell to 4 degrees below zero, and icy blasts swept over the Hempstead plains, the dog lay for ten hours on his master's grave. When tho doe is absent from the grave In search of food, no one seems to know where he goes. Woman and the Home. Dangers to society thicken In these days. Life even Is threatened. Prop erty at times is Imperiled by the torch of the Communist. Trade has lost its ancient integrity, and patriotism and statesmanshlD have parted with much of their former purity and spirit of self- sacrifice. Crime abounds, and justice has soiled its ermine. Widely we feel the throes of upheaval. Where shall we look for permanent cure? Some would find it in military force. But the sword only represses the evil ; it does not heal it. It only delays the trouble ; it cannot remove it. The character of society must be reached and changed by moral influences at the center. Ignorance, perversity, error, theories, wrong motives, and corrupt habits of life, all these things which bring forth bitter fruit, must be de stroyed in the seed. The gospel alone has this silent, gentle, leaving power. Wrongs may be best righted and souls made better by the light of Christian love, and through the excercise of righteousness and Justice and truth, in the fountain head of society the Christian home. It is, in a large sense, the work of woman. The Greatest Blessiag.
