OTEE THE HILL TO THE POOH I
BY WILL M. CARLKTON.
Over the- hill to the poor hou
mulo in' m y weary way?
I. a woman of seventy, aud only
gray?
I, win? am smart an' chipper,
the yean I've told.
As many toother woman, that't
hallas old.
Over the hill to Iba poor-house
make it quite clear !
Over the lull i<> he pooi-house?it
841 horrid queer !
Man.) aaup I've taken a-toiliu t
In i.
Butlbis is a sort of jouruey I
thought I?) go.
What Is the uso o? hcapin' ou
pauper's M?ame t
Am i lazy or crazy ! am I hlind or
True I am not so supple, uor ]
awful st.-ut.
Bot vtifjity ala't no favor, if oi
live without.
I am willin' and anxious an' read
day,
To ?vor? for a decent liviu', ant
my honest way;
; For 1 can earn my victuals, an'
too, I'll he bound,
' If anybody only is willin'to hav
i round.
! Cmee I was young an' hau'some?
upon my soul? %
1 Once my checks was restes, my ej
black as coal ;
Aud I can't remember, in them
of hearin' people say.
For any kind of a reason, that I \"
their way.
'Taint no use e.f boastbV, or t?
over free,
i But many a house an' home was
then to me;
1 Many a han'sotae ?fter I had
likely meu,
? And nobody ever hinted that I w
burden then.
And when to John 1 was married,
he was good and smart,
But he and all the neighbors would
1 dune DJ' pari ;
For hie- was all bet?re me, an' I
young and strong,
And I worked the best that I COttlf
tryiu' to get along.
And so we worked together ; and
was hard but gay.
With now and then a baby, te>r to el
us cu our way ;
Till ?venad half? dosen an'all gro
clean an' mat.
An' ?rent to school like others,an'
enough to eat.
So we worked for the chil r'u, and r
ed 'ein every one;
Worked for 'em summer and win
just f.s we ought to 'vc done;
(July perliaps we humored 'em, wh
some good folks condemn;
Hut every couple's child'rn's a heap
best to tlielll.
Strange how much we think of i
bit ssed little ones ? ?
I'd have died leir my daughters,
have died for my sons;
And (Jod he made thai rule of love; 1
\e hen we're old ami gray.
I've noticed it sometimes suinelu
fail? to work the other way.
Strange another thing ; when our boj
andgirl* were grown.
And when, exceptin' Charley the*
left ns there alone ;
When John near and nearer come, ai
dearer ?eerni'd to be,
I'he J. Til ni Hosts he mine one day a
took him away from ne.
Still I was bound to struggle, an' ncv
to ?-i in e or fall?
Sim I worked lbrCharley, fr>r Charh
was now my all ;
And Charley was pretty good to m
with scarce a word or frown.
Till at lait la- went a courtin,' ai
brought a wile from town.
She was somewhat dressy, an1 hadu't
pleasant smile?
she was quite con?eity, and carried
* heap <>' style;
But if ev.r I tried to be friends, I d
with her. I know;
! But she was hard aud prou 1, an'
couldn't make it go.
, She has an' eddicatiou, an' that wi
good for her ;
j Bui when she twitted me on mine 'tws
carryin' things too fur ;
I An" I told her once 'fore company (a
it almost made her sick.)
Thai I never swallowed a grammar t
'et a 'rithmetic.
So 'twas only a few days before th
thing was doue?
They was a family of themselvea. and
annther on?;
And a very little cottage for one famil
will do,
But I have never seen a house that wa
bi^ enough for two.
An' I never could speak to suit her
never could please her eye,
a\.n' it made mc independent, au' then
didn't try;
j But I was terribly staggered, and felt i
I like a blow,
j When Charley turned tgjsin me. an
told me I could go.
; I went to live with Susan, but Susan')
house was small,
I Anil she was always a-hinlin' how snur.
it was lor all;
And what with her husband's sister?,
and what with chdd'rn three,
'Twits easy to discover that there wasu'l
room for me.
An' then I went to Thomas, the oldest
son I've oot,
For Thomas' building? 'd cover tho half
ol an acre lot;
But all the child'rn was on me?I
couldn't stand their sauce?
And Thomas said I needn't think I was
comin' Iherju to boss.
An' then 1 wrote to Rebecca?my gir
who live?, oat west,
And to [aaae, DO! far from her?some
twenty miles at 'jest ;
And one of 'em said 'twas too warm
theft for any one so old,
An t'other liad au opinion the climat?
WM too coid.
So they haveshirked and ?lighted me,
an' ihiftet me about?
So they have well ni?*h Mared me, au'
wore my old heart oui;
I'.ut still I've bone up pretty well, an'
wasn't much put d >wn,
Till Charity wast to tbe poor-master,
im' put nv- ua the town.
Ovi r the hill ti the poor-nouse?my
cliild'm dear, iiomi bye !
Many a ntehl I've watched you when
only :;?>?] wai n'uth ;
And (Jod Ml jvl','e he?.fecn as; but I
will Hl'avs pray,
That you s! ,11 never fuffer the half I Ho
to-day.
MB,
'I suppose I mast call. ?lev
o'clock. The old gentleman said I *t
not to stand upon ceremony, so I'll r
down to-day. It is disnaally lonesoi
here, and somebody ?aid the law!
girls were the belles of the place. W
was it told me that Jullia Lawler m
the belle of Uushtown, and that Do!
was the nicest little thiug iu the worli
I'll ge down and prove tho assertion
All this in soliloquy as Mr. Tno? Ui
dell douned his daintcst walking drei
drew on his lavender kids, put
his gloaaiest silk hat oyr his crop
curl in?.'bait, and surveying his hau
some, faultlessly-attired serf in t
loug mirror, sallies forth.
Itustitown was a collection ofcoun
seats, a mile from a populous boroug
and the Bardell place was one of tl
most stately of the many superb hous
of which it was composed. Thorn
Bardwcll my haro, was the nephew
the late owner of %the Bardell plac
and on the death of that geutlem;
had inherited his entire property, grea
ly to his own amazement, Mr. Juli
Bardell, deceased, having quarrell
with every relation he had in this worl
and announced hi? intention of lcavn
every dollar to a charity.
That he did not, but, releutlng, mai
a will in his nephew's favor, ai
brought Mr. Thomas Bardwell from
college in Germany where he was fi
ishiug his education, to Kushtown.
He was twenty-four, an erpha
handsome and talented, aud had ?on
private fortune before his uncle's deal
That he was unspoiled, mode?., at
one who held all women as little low
than the auge Is, may be attributed i
the fact that he had a mother who wi
a true Christian lady, who lored bin
and whose death, when he had juat a
taincd manhood, was the heaviest so
row of his life.
Kushtown was an unexplored cout
try to my hero, but Dr. Laled being tl;
only physician in the place, his res
deuce was easily found.
The hall door stood open, the park
door was also stretched invitingly widt
and after vnninlv waiting for the ring t
be answered, Mr. Bardell stepped in
side the vestibule.
A voice high above hie head, and l
the parlor called :
'Tom, is that you?'
The speaker, Dolly Lawlor, whot
name be it here recorded was Mabel
but who had been called Dolly from he
cradle, being at the paint over tin
French wiudow. heard a voice say :
"It is Tom certainly.'
'Hand me my soap,' that'? a good f?l
low said Dolly, from the lofty percl
When she was seated, facing tho bad
windows, 'You know 1 am afraiJ U
look down or turn around on the ladder
I am M sure to gctstiddv.'
'Where is the soap?' came a voiet
muffled by laughing.
?(.lose down by tho ladder, when ?!
has just dropped. Don't dare to laugl
at me sir, for I am in the depths of af
ruction. Papa has invited the heir U
fiat Bardell place to drop iu withom
ceremony. Did you ever, and we jual
in the middle of spring cleaning ? S) 1
left Jane to finish up stairs ami can?
dowu royeelf to make the parlor decent
There goes my brush ! Hand it up
that's a dear.'
The brush was handed up. Dolly no|
daring to U*e her eyes from a level,
already feeling her liead^ spinning with
giddiness.
"We can't bo grand, of course, ami
the house will look mean cuough after
Bardell place, but we can clean,' ?ht
continued, scrubbing vigorously at the
peint. 'And you know, Tom be is sure
to fall in leve with Julia, and it is such
a splendid chance for her, poor dear,
'? She docs so hate our economic?. She
! ha? gone over now to Mr. Sampson'?
; to finish her blue muslin, and ?he can't
help clean, because it will spoil hci
' hand?, and the y are so pretty. Julia is
j lovely ib bloe, because her skin is ?e
! far if her hair and eyes are dark. She
! will just be perfect when she ?a
j rich. Torn. I hope nho will have him,
! and papa and I can jog along forever.
I We dou't mind cheap thiugs as poor Ju
: lia doe?. There ! that paint can't ba
? whiter. I'm coming down, and you
! can move the ladder over to the other
window for tue, Tern.'
But. cautiously descending the lad
j der, Dolly only caught a fleeting
; glimpse of a tall figure out at the garden
j ??ate.
'Well,' she said, tugging at the heavy
| ladder,, if Tom was in such a hurry that
he could not move the ladder, he might
i at least have waited to say good morn ?
| iUrT-'
Then being the swoetest tempered of
women, though merely a passably pret?
ty girl, Dolly ascending the ladder
again, soon forgot Tom's rudeness? in
the absorbing duties ?he had undertak?
en.
Ia the meantime Mr. Thomas Bar
dell, shaking with laughter, wended kis
way homeward, inwardly determining
to make his next call at Dr Lawlor's
when Miss Molly wsa lean engaged In
the task ofclauing pain and the diffi?
culty of maintaining her equilibrium.
'For that must base beeOgMiss Dolly,
with ths natty littte boots, and cslico
dress. She had lovely brown hair,
though I could not see her face.'
The next call made by the heir of the
Bardell place found the parlor shining
i w-.th cleanliness. Mi?? Julia Lawlec,
I really a beautiful girl, arrayed in tbc.
| blue muslins at the piano, and Dolly,
siso in blue tnuslius kn.tting. The sr
j pe.arance of the blue muslin* wsa the
| result of Thomas Carddll, apparently
?careless intimatiou to busy Dr. Lawlor
? that he intended to 'drop in' that even
I ing. For a wonder the Doctor remem?
bered the Iv?t gnd the 'Lawlor, girl,'
were arrayed to receive their guest.

Apparently the tinging was as pow<

be, for scarcely a day or evening pat

Silly little Dolly ?
For 3he knew Mr. Bardell was faliii

Did he not fairly haunt the house ? D
he not listen eutrauced when Jul
sung, even upsetting all the orderly a
rangements of Dolly's woik box iu b

Wa? not the picnic on the Barde
ground? to which all the friends, tarai:
near, have been invited, solely the r
suit of Julia's wish to i-e?i the place?
That picnic !
Somehow it impressed itself upo
Dolly's mind that Thomas Bardell wi
contemplating a proposal on the Jut
day, when he wa? to play host to a
the people of Hushlown.
She could not have told why eh
thought so, nor why she resolved tots
'papa' for permission to visit her nut
in New York a few weeks. 'Just to iriv
them a chance to be alone,' eh
thought, and wondered what made hi
heart throb so painfully at the idea.
She made Julia lood like an exquisit
picture, by wreathing field daisies und
the rim of her chip hat, and fasten in
her soft white lace at the throat with
bunch of the same flower?.
Then she dratted heraelf rather hat
?ly, having curled her lister's hair, am
otherwise made a Cinderella ol herself
She heard nothing of a dismayed 11

'But bless ray soul, Bardell, 1 ran1

it was the other one you were-"
And here the bluudcriug kiud-heartei
lather stopped and hesitated, and final
ly said :
"Well?well, if the loves you, I will
not say nay. though I don't know ? h.l
I shall do whet you lake her awav.'
Then Thufttat Bardell discovered tha!
it was fully time for him to go homt
and receive his invited guests and he
departed not seeing the '-'it!?, and leav?

thought eyes hud never rested upon

pink tinge came to her cheeks as she
accepted his help iu leaving the carriage,
aud bis arm to the house.
Dolly jumped out ??anyhow," as Tow
Lawlor said, and there was not the
faintest color upon her white checke,
though she talked and laughed gaily
enough.
But alter the luncheon was over,

thinking, when Thomas Bardell, who
had watched her flight, also strolled
down the path that led to the rustic
?cat.
Dolly was thinking.
"It is lovely^iere and the house la
splendid. Julia ought to very happy.
j but I wished she cared more for him.
All she looks forward to is the splendor
aid freedom from moucy care. But
perhaps that is the best. I don't care
about money, so it must be best for me
to stay at home and make it cheerful
and comfortable for papa. Julia says I
must come often to make her long visit?,
but I don't think lean. I wonder?"
And here little Dolly's hands cbuped
each other in a tight grasp, and her v?
r> lips grew whitens she Wondered il
it was very wicked for her to feel such
au envious longing to have, not the
wealth, but the lovo of her future broth?

She was not te wait much longer, for

She blushed and smiled, answering :
*'I was a little tired, and came down

'I am verv tired, let me rest too,' he
said, taking a sent beside her. 'I think
