! MY DAUGHTER MINNIE.
j A few yenrs ago well, it is not less tnan lony
ray little home-flock was led, in the matter of years
by daughter Minnie a pretty name, I always
thought. Minnie was a gcod child, and being the
first-born, was half maternal in her management of
the later corners, even down to little "Pigeon, the
latest and tinir st-of all.

spirited but industrious little creatures upon whose
cTTterpise and tact the greatest and strongest
of us
will 111 voluntarily Ran.
"Minnie, shall I want five or six breadths in
this
skirW" hiM- mother w
tier mitLer would say.
Lookincr un.u!h inst a little knittincr of tbo fore
head, after a irfBincnt's thought, Minnie would en
EWC -
'I think five will do, mother ; " and five it was.
I c.tn hear, even the voico of Min -lie's mother sho
has been gone twenty yeajs, dear heart ! calling
from the bead of the stairs :
"Minnie! Say Minnie!"
'What, mother ?"
"What shall we have for dinner to-day?"
"You aro tired, m-ither ; let's have a little bam
and some eggs, with some peas from the garden,
and bread." That settled the bill of fare.
And so it was through the livelong day; for in
all the domestic polity Minnie, though only prime
minister, possessed fully regal power.
At this tune this forty years ago I was, of
course, in the prime of life, and full of the cares and
responsibilti'e whit h clu. ter and cling to one's man
hood. I was largely engaged in active business, re
ceived some slight evidences of public confidence,
saw a large family coming up about me from all
of which my natural posltiveness and force of char
ter riceived more or less strengthening.
One night, when the last candle bail been extin
guishek and all was hushed, my wife said, with some
anxiety of tone,
"Hu.-band, I feel I'.ner.sy ubor.t our Minnie."
"Minnie? Why, what's the matter: is she sick?"
"No : she isn't sick, but "
"Rut what, wife V"
"Wl y, Miunie is I mean, slio seems to be
Wfll, 1 in afraid she lik-.-s Je limy Hrun."
"Jemmy Rrun ! She'd better not." And I leaped
to the floor and walked to the window. "Jemmy
Rrun and our Minnie! a pretty match !"
"I was afraid you would be disturbed, dear : but
don't take it too much to heart, husband. I dare
say we can put a stop to it." And motherly sobs
came from the pillow.
"Put a stop to it ! I guess I will. Jemmy Rrun
and our Minnie! I guess I will put a stop to it."
And who was Jemmy Brim ? A voung men of
some two years' residence in the neighborhood, of
good habits so fa as I knew, but altogether and
diametrically opposed to my taste, to my ideal of
manliness. I had always worshiimed business tact
! and "n'frrr'.- It hrd tak.-n roe, vi,-n arpenncss
boy, and brm.4 .. up through numberless ditli
eultks to a position of influence. That which 'was
found in my natuie when young, was thus nourish
ed and rooted through all the after-years of strug-
. g!e. ripening into triumph.
The young man was of a literary turn of mind;
i had taught in an academy ; was a writer, it was
' Kuid, for one or two periodicals. There was an air
of f-entiment about him, ih his looks and mannerc,
. which came precisely within the scope of my con
; tempt. I had known it in others in strong busi-
ness men this utter contempt for the least possi
I ble manifestation of sentiment; for those unthrifty
fellows who have never an eye for bustnes, but
j bang upon the skirts of thought, clasp imagery, and
j ride upon rhythm. You may see it now ever- day
! in commercial bouses. It sprins, I think, from the
absolute antagonism of fact and farcy of the figu
i res which do the pages of the ledger and those
whic h illumine the lines of the poet. "The Muses
I frowned on me," siud a Geim in poet, "for keeping
account books." Undoubtedly. Nor is the knight
of the balance sheet less intolerant to-ward those
miserable fellow s wlio.se entire sto. k in trade can
be stoted within u very little cavity just behind the
frontal bone.
My good wife had a time of it cooling me down,
and preventing the adoption of most violent meas
ures. Even w hen I had formally surrsudered to
her superior discretion. I chafed by times like a
bear in harness. If wife had not been almost a
Rarey in tact, I should cert duly have broken into
pluiigings even sooner than I did.
Minnie was taken one day into solemn conference
by her mother, with only pussy in the door-way as
audit; r Rut the child," though she blushed very
much, movtd ab ut from sei tt . s. a , and b Ti pieces
of paper into bits, declared that she was heart whole
yet ''as why shouldn't she b: ? for Jemmy Rrun
had never said a word to her which any man might
not have said to any maiden."
So wife and I got easy again.
Rut what should I see one evening at twilight,
while sauntering out under the shadows of my own
grove of forest oaks not "ar from the house, but two
figures flitting slowly hither and thither among the
di. lant trc.s ! Like a knave as I was, I sat on the
g oundand watched them Watched then nervously,
glaringly, till I saw Jemmy Brun give Minnie a kiss
on her lips, and look lovingly after her as she slip
ped awny.
I was i t dining upon the sword by her path.
Defet mined to meet and confront her'there, I sat
and wi tched her coming.
l.'eatairdy Minnie's face never wore that expres
sion before. It was not gleeful, but it was radiant,
and her eyes, which were tent on the ground, and
hence only visible as she came very near me, had
a light and a depth that I never saw before. She
passed me ; so utterly was the child absorbed in her
emotions.
" Minnie !" I said, in a tone that startled myself
scarcely less than the child.
- un ! nr.d sno sprang from the path as though I
tne sound had been a tattle among the grass.
I raised my.-e'f slowly I am very slow when
very ar.gry and standing stiffly before her glow
ered down into her eyes Miur.ie's beautiful living
eyes with a st. rn ss which had never failed to
terrify. But the f hiid, though she trembled like an
aspen at first, brought her father's spirit to the res
cue, and, in the strength of love and innocence, look
ed into her father's angry face at length with per
fect composure.
I must not repeat the words that followed : they
shall never be written ; and would to God they had
never been spoken !
ilinnie had given him her heart, and would give
him her hand. How could she help it ? Even her
father's anger should not prevent her fulflding ber
vord ; for was not Jemmy Rrun worthy, and was
iot her father's anger unreasonable and unjust ?
All this she said to me with a deep composure of a
perfect heroine, while I stood there almost as much
astonished as angry.
" Wife, it's all up with Minnie," said, I striding
into the sitting-room and breaking in upon a most
comfortable afternoon revirie, only relieved by the
solemn ticking of the elock nd ths busy click of
" Lord t tut" ti;" ;. . , ,

forgive her never!"
j Husband, stop and think. He "
j " I tcortt stop and think. I say I'll never forgive
. her ; and I won't. Call her in."
1 Wife left the room in search of Minnie. Shn wa
J gone a long while ; from which circumstances I have
1 . 11 - . i ..1 .. .
always nau me suspicion inai sue fpeni tne time in
returned; botti teartul. V sat down together a
constrained group"; Minnie very tearful, but very
sweet and beautiful. - The interview was short ?nd
rtliese weift 'the closing words :
j "Father, I have always been a dutiful child vou
; will do me that justice. But I love this-man. Y..u
grant mat wis cnaracter is unimneacnaole. but vou
forbid our marriage because you have a j.rijudiee
against him. I love and honor you, father. You
cannot doubt tliar ; but in this case I mut fellow
the dictates of my own heart.
'Do so if you will ; but remember, your father
will never forgive you.'
Thus ended the interview wife sobbing distrtss
fully, Minnie weeping quietly, and I sitting gi uni
and angry.
Minnin kept her word, and became the wife of
Jemmy Brun,
I did not forbid them the house, as most angry
fathers are said to do, but I told M innie again that
she had lost my love and care. Then I was so
foolish as to see Jemmy Brum, and in a very silly
speech infornfhim that since he was taking my !
daughter from her father without his consent, he 1
need expect no gifts or f'ors now or bene forth.
She would not be allowed to share in the family in- :
heiitnnce, nor should I render the least assistance ,
if they " should come to want.": 1 should never j
forget the queer look the young man gave m.- a
glance in whieh pride seemed almost vainly si rug- i
gling -with a cluster of mirth-spark Irs, " j
"Aery well, Sir; we will try snd not 'come (o '
want.' " That was all he said ; but the eool .-t if-
possession of his manner made me feel as though I )
had undertaken to drive a nail and had pounded mv
fingers. " :
I had always been demonstrative toward mv ch'l-1
dren the elder as well as the vounger. Minnie had :
never lost her right to her father' knee, nor did she !
ever meet me in the morning or part from me at :
night without a kiss. This was denied her now i
Poor child ! it was the sorest trial .f all. Once or j
twice she clung tearfullj' to me in my sternness,

Women are strange creatures. There was wife,
who bad entirely sympathized with me as I sup
ported, absolutely giving aid and comfort t- our re
creant daughter. I verily believe that long before
the wedding-day came she was as thoroughly inter
ested in the whole affair as though Minnie had been
about to marry the be.-t business man in town.
Little use was it for me to tighten mv purse-s'r:ngs,
and direct that the child should have no marriage
outfit of wardrobe-s, pillow-cases, counterpanes, and
the thousand and one ei cetera? in which molhors
take such pride nnd pleasure. In spile of nv bid
surreptititbdy; Mh.iiK? was well ; t,o i :ed f.. I si
sure. I remember that th shopman's hills A r so.Te
ten months after seemed unusally full, both in num
ber of items and footing of column ; and I shrewd
ly Suspect that wife liael aminge-d wish the trades
man to have the articles scattered along through the
months. She was always a good financier.,
The ceremony was performed in church. I was
present, least my absence might give too great no
toriety to the family jar. Useless. The whole town
having long since been made acquainted with the
state of affairs, the bride's beauty and the bride
groom's popularity set many eyes on me with the
snarkle of criticism in them.
"lie needn't look so savage-like," muttered a gruff
olel yeoman behind me; "there ain't a likelier young
feller any where hereabout than Jemmy Rrun ; an'
though Minnie he purty as a j ink, it s a good match,
I say a real even bargain so."
Long, long months went by after tb marriage
tedious, unhappy months to me. I knew I was
being soureel by this self-imposed restraint on the
affectional part of my nature. Minnie came tQ her
old home sometimes. Ouce or twice she begged foi
the return of the old love, the old home-kiss. Xo.
M3r daughter was happy in ber husband, happy in
her new home. Rut I saw very plainly that tlw
bliss of the old homo was lost to ber.
Nearly two years went back into the past, shad
owed in this manner, when a little human blossom
was laid in its cradle. A little struggling wee tiling
another little Minne. Poor me ! was a new in
fluence to be stemmed, as boats stem another gust and
another wave. Rut I braced myself; and when I
bad been forced into Minnie's chamber, stood over
the pale child with the little one on her arm. and
heard the faint voice add to the sweetly-hest -celling
look, "Do kiss me, father! 1 shook my head and
went out.
One day a strange change c-ime over tho voting
mother, alarming the experiencetl, and giving t-
the phv sician that ominous air of grave my.-n ry
which strikes into the soul of tke loving, 1 moved
about full of fear and guilty distress. The symp
toms became more and more alarming she whs
sinking. I was called to her bedsdie, : s o that of
my first dying child. As I bent over the whhe
face, almost translucent with weakness, illuminad
by eyes all undimmed by illness, my Msnnie gave
me the old-timed glance of love, and, throwing up
her hands, as if to clasp my neck, said, faintly, but
oh ! so earnestly-
"Kiss me, father !"
I bent down to my daughter, my first-born, and
we wept loug together the strong father aud the
faintly bcatbing child.
What do you think Minnie did? Why she
got
wt 11 aeain. and in two months was as musical
as a
lark, and as cay. looking after the little
Aiinnie like
a pretty nmther as sho was.
However, the ice was Lilly broken, and T was my
old fatherly self ever after. Minnie even veri
tured, after a time, to meke merry at my expense
over the fact that not only was Jemmy Brun the
best of husbands, but one of tho well-known of
American writers.
I think I was a very great fool.
