POET BY.
SOBBOTT.
Upon my lips she laid her touch divine.
And merry speech and careless laughter died;
She fixed her melancholly eyes on mine,
And would not be denied.
I saw the west wind loose it cloudlets white.
In flocks careering through the April sky ;
I could not sing, though joy was at its height,
For she stood silent by.
I watohed the lovely evening fade away,
A mist was slightly dr wn across the stars,
She broke my quiet dream—l heard her say,
"Behold your prison bars!
•'Earth's gladness shall not satisfy your soul.
This beauty of the earth iu which yon live;
The crowning grace that sanctifies tie whole,
That I alone can give."
I heard, and shrunk away from her afraid;
But still she held me, and would still abide,
Youth's bounding slackened and
obeyed,
WHU- slowly ebbing tide.
"Look thou beyond the evening star," she said,
"Beyond the changing splendors of the day,
Aceept the pain, the weariness, the dread,
Accept and bid me slay."
I turned and clasped her close with sudden
strenth,
And slowly, sweetly, I became aware.
Within my arms God's angel stood at length
White-robed and calm and fair.
And now I look beyond the evening star,
U=yond the changing splendors ol the day.
Knowing the pain He sends more precious far,
More beautiful than they.
THE THREE HOUSEMEN.
Three horsemen halted the inn before.
Three norsomea entered the oaken doc,c,
And loudly called for tfcie welcome chper
That was wqnt to greet the traveler there.
'Good woman," theyeried.as the hostess earae,
A buxom, rosy, and portly old dame,
"Good woman, how'" your wine and beer?
And how's your little daughter dear?"
"My house is ever supplied with cheer,
Bjjt my daughter lleth upon her bier."
4 shadow oyer the horspmen fell;
Each wrapped In thoughts he could never tell;
4.nd B|lej}tly one by one they crept
To t|ie dai'kpngd room piajdgp glepf.
The golden hair was rippling low
Over a f ireheart pure as snow.
And the little hands so closely pressed
Clasping a cross to the pulseless breast.
"I loved thee ere fhe death-chill lay
On thee, sweet child," and ope turned away;
■'I would have thee," the second saiq,
"Hadst thon to love me, and lived to
wed."
"I loved thee always, I love thee now,"
The third one cried as lie kissed her brow;
"In the heavens to come our souls shall wed,
I have loved thee living, I love thee dead."
Then silently out from the oaken door,
Tfitee rode to return no vuoi'e.
—From the German.
BROKE* THREADS.
I.
As the shuttle swiftly flies
Back and forth before our eyes.
Bending with Its lingers l|gh(
Warp pnd woof till they unite
In a fabric good and strong,
Let us hear the weaver's song.
11.
Weaving ever day by day,
As the shuttles briskly play.
Broken threads how oft annoy
our precious tjme crft ploy;
Warning'us by sharp reproof.
We must watch the warp and woof.
111.
Weaving in life's busy loom-
Mingling sunshine with tie gloom-
Warp and woof of deeds we blend
Till life's fabric has an end;
Broken threads bow Qft we find
Burdening the noble mind!
IV.
Broken threads iu life abound,
Iu each station they are found;
May Faith's kind and friendly
Ifelp us to adjust the strand.
That, when life's last tide shall ebb,
There shall he a perfect web
AUNT HEPSY'S REVENGE.
J woke on the morning of 1113- elgh
teenth birthday with a light, hapj>y
heart, untouched by pain or care or sor
row. It was one of tho.se glorious June
days when it is bliss merely to live;
when we are content to draw in the
pure, sweet-scented air, and drink in
nature's fresh beauty, ashing for rioth
ing more, robins outside my win
dow, id the old apple tree, greeted me
with bursts of glad melody, and the
clear morning breeze filled me with a
sense of indescribable exhilaration.
The closing exercises of the Young
Ladies' Seminary in our town had sup
cessfully terminated the day
We had passed our ex ami nit ion b, read
our esSaye; redelVe'd diplomas, par
taken or the class supppr, and graceful
ly retjred from the fctage of school girl
life; and to day, as a grand finale to the
momentous occasion, we were to have
a picnic in the Glen—a perfectly lovely
little spot some ten miles away.
In all the world, I think, there was

''But mamma looks sober," said I,
and I ran and kuelt by her "What is
it, dear, darling mother? Does it nmfee

so big and so old dan never be

Mamma stalled, ftntf laid her hand,
with a gentle, touch, upon
my hair; then she said, tenderly ;
"You will never cease to be a child at

now, dear, your lather has something
of importance id teH you. 1 '
"Yes, dear child, of great itnpor-

about your Aunt Hepsibah's will."
■_ "Aunt Hepsibah's will! "_I exclaimed
in astonishment, fpj (feat estimable lady

disappointment I- felt at tbe time that
.my father, ber only brother, was not
represented in her will had been, long
overcome. The possibility of there bay
ing been a codicil in fi»v_Vof us at once,
however, flashed through my mind
"You know, Mabel," said my father,
"that, ostensibly everything was left to
that protege of hers j but there was a
sealed document retain. dip the hands

to me yesterday,

I was so surprised, I could not for
(bat time speak. At last I said, in abe
wildered sort of way, "Thirty thousand
dollars for me. and twenty thousand
lor you? Why, thirty and twenty
make fifty." Then clapping my hands
I jumped up, shouting, ''Oil, how rich
weai? Fifty thousand dollars!" Aud
then Tigave papa a good hug and then
mamma. My world was surely grow
ing very bright. Although we bad al
ways b_et_ comfortably well off, we
were far from being rich; and my fath
er, I knew, bad bad a bard time in try
ing to keep tbe old homestead and clear
off tbe mortgage which still shadowed
it. I had always longed for wealth, and
many were the fair castles in the air
,tud the glorious projects I bad formed
when Ihe day should come in which
riches should be mine !
Yes, the world looked fair and bright
and wide to me, stretching on aud on,
rich with golden opportunities. My fu
ture lay iv broad sunshine before me,
with no gloom of tears to veil it. H"w
kiiid at heart Aunt Hepsibah had been,
aftei all, I said. Aud I had aiwgyu
thought ber cold and stem &ud strange
Suddenly', asked i
"H«w came she to do it, papa? Why
didn't she put it in the will ?"
''Your Aunt Hepsibah always
queer, and never did things like other
people," he replied. "She has made
one condition to all tbis, which will not
be very hard for you to accept, I thiuk.
It is tbat you—"
"Please, Charles, never mind tbat

her from a knowledge which might pain

that tbe condition which my father
thought would ha ea ay to fultjfl might
not be possible for me:
My* father simply accpfled to my
mother's request, 41111 folded the pre
clous slip of paper and replaced it in tbe
envelope; then we sat dowu to break
fast. I was too exolted to eat, and the
attempts to appear calm and cool that
my father made were very amusing
He cautioned me agaist losing my head
with my good, fojttiu-i, and warned me
against' being completely upset when
siiiiled upon by the good fates.
My mother was very quiet and regard
ed us with an ansious ]«"£, which In
my MutoiokiVgiyeiy of'hearty did
not notice at the time; but it all came
to me afterwards.
Soon after break lest we heard the
sound of voices aud gay. ringing laugh

me good-bye:
"Better not speak of what bas hap

time enough, and you nave yet to con

"Yes, I know, dear mama." I replied
"I shall say nothing about it, of course,
yet awhile You will be sure and drive
out with father this afternoon "
So saying, I ran down the steps, i,nd
wa3 rotated to my seat'in the high wa
gop. ' A delightful ride we bad to the
Glen, in the beautiful spring weather,
with the glad freshness of spring bloom
ing all around us, and fragrance of flow
ers everywhere.
"Did you know, Mabel, that we are
to have a handsome stranger heys to
day ?'' asked Mattie .Evans"
'.'A stranger," I said "Who ia he?
And how did you know it ?"
"I saw him get off the stage last night
and go into Mrs Mordit's. He had a
large valise with him, and a sort cf
portfolio under his arm A few mo.
ments after, I saw Mr Riifj-.il butty.hg
over there. T(iut ; - all 1 know, except
that the young man is awful handsome
with quite a distinguished air."
We reached the Glen, and soon ev
erything was ready The table was su
perb. It only needed
ceutre-piece, which was to gra_e it la
ter, to make it perfect. We were to
present our principal, Mr. Bussell, with
an elegant silver basket, tilled with fruit
and flowers, and this was afterwards to
grace tbe middle of the table.
Soon the people began to poipe in cat
riages and wagops, every one in the
hist of spirits, finally some one shout
cd—"Mr Ru.seil is coming; let's re
celve bin with cheers " So we all
went forward in a body waving hand
kerchiefs, and shouting, "Hurrah!"
There was some one else in Ihe buggy
besides bim, who to etijoy this
welcome. Mr Ru.sql, as
soon as he alighted, turned to this gen
tleman, a- d said :
"I have brought a friend with me to
day, who, I trust, will not feel that he
is a stranger among us. Young lad;?,
and gentlemen, I bave th. honor to in

who is to speiid the 'summer in our de

Mt Wentworth I'ifte I bis wide awake
■nd made a graceful, deferential how
Mattie was right; he certa'nly was very
handsome, with a finely moulded, clear
cut face. His manner was easy aud net
tural as he entered into convention
with those standing neatest him.
We gathered round the bounti
fully snremi table, and Mr Russell made
an opening address, which was follow
ed by a few complimentary remarks
from others. Then I step ed forward
as representative of the graduating class
and, with a few v7oV__an(t many blush

We 8,11 (fept together, however By
and by we paused by a grassy bauk, aud
sat down.
"I have brought my sketch book with

My companions cried with oil'e voice
that it Wt>uld tie .''harming B.it Mr

did n< t begin until I bad blu hingly as

blush, and angry at myself fytf blushing

When the picture was finished, we
all crowded -round to look at it There
we were, in easy, careless attitudes.

form, feature, expression, each true to
life. 1 was rather startled at mv own
fane. Did I look like that? Mr
Wentworth had given me a sort of en
raptured, ecstatic expression which I
had never seen in my own face in the
glass I could not help asking—
"Do I look like that? I did not know
I diii."
"Not always, perhaps But certainly
you looked so while I was drawing
you." he replied, slightly amused.
"Yes, Mabel," the others cried ;' you
look just like that whenever you are
happjr or pleased very much "
"And you were very happy or very
pleased just then. Miss Howard?" Mr
Wentworth asked.
"Yes," I answered, looking down and
blushing very much "I was so happy
that I could not help thinking of it."
"You are to be congratulated." Ane
then, in a lower, more earnest, tone, he
added. "May you have, throughoutyoui
life, such thorough happiness forever
My father and mother had now come
and seeing them, I introduced Mr
Wentworth. ai d begged him toshow th«
sketch he bad made
" It is a splendid likeness." my fathei
said. "We must have you paint Mablc

Mr Weutworth," he added, courteously
"We have always wanted a good Dicturc
of her.
"I shall be most happy, Mr. ESaward,"
was the reply.
That evening, as mother and T were
talking aver the incidents of the day. I
happened to think that I had not heard
all there was to hear about my new
found fortune.
"Your Aunt Hepsibah," said mamma,
hesitatingly, "gives all th;.. money to
you and yoiir father on the conditi _n
,n _v jfyu—that you will marry her pro
tege, young King."
"But I have never seen him mamma
How can \ tell whether I shall like him
or not?" I ciied, starting up.
"I know, dear, it is hard to decide up
on a matter like this in _ day, but your
father and I thought that perhaps, f|
you have not seen many gentlemen, and
you have not hecnrya interested in any
one y 11, it might; not be improbable that
yo'ii would like Mr. King. Lawyer
Simmons has given your father very
fine testimonials in regard to \\\n char
acter, and he isiq every «?ay worthy of
yog if ftp qhq win your love. He is in
Europe now, tiut in September he is
coming home, and will spend a few
weeks with us, and you are to decide
then"
I listened, breathless. Wasit true that
F had not yet become interested in any
one ? Was my heart still perfectly free ?
VV'i'd it have heeti the same to me if T
had listened to all this in the morning?
I knew I oould not answer yes to qut»s
tions such as these I managed to pre
serve a calm exterior, and for the fiw..
time in my life shut the (|r,Qji of my
h-art from my mother's gase.
"And whaj s_-ini.es of the money if
J do not choose to marry Mr. King?" I
asked, very quietly now.
"It all goes to him "
"And what if heshould notlike me?"
"You forfeit it just the same. But
there is no danger .if that, my child —
Who can see yo.u and know you without
toying you?" And my mother folded
her arms about me. and bid her face in
my hair Then, after a pause, "You
must not consjd.r us in the least, darling
I want you to do just as you feel in re
gard to it. Of course twenty thousand
dollars is a great deal tq your father —
He could pay of3f bis debts and settle
down can ten ted ly fur the rest of his life,
hut he will not require you to sacrifice
yourself. Only men, you know, do not
quite understand a woman's heart, even
after a lifetime's study, and he th"U_,ht
you would be delighted with thechance
of a good husband in conjunction with
yoqr g<>o{l fortune, and he, of course,
cannot imagine any possible drawback
to it But I shall not blame you, my
child, if you find it impossible to acoept
your Mint's proviso; and if yon decide
to give up the money qnd your husband.
T shall understand why you do it. and
fee| for you I do not like to blame
your aunt Hepsibah now that she is
dead, hut it does seem rather cruel for
her to restrict you i■• thi- way. Ii looks
a lillie like revenge She never Shrgave
your father for inter fertug in her early
love affair^."
"But why should papa have to give
up his m itiey, even if I do mine?" I
sijd
"I suppose it was to influence yon the
more But now, dear, do not trouble
yourself any mora tq nlaht ; just, put it
out, ofvour Ba.o. entirely You will

yon decide Go.l-night, toy precious,
good-night." ami she kissed me tender
ly many times.
I retired -Iso, but not to sleep. The
day which had begun so bright ended
in a night of misery Yet who shall say
there we»e not guardian angels hovering
near, tho.uirh I could not see or feel them
in the darkness? "Qh} it was worse
than cruel," J cried, "for Aunt Hepsi
bah to w>venge herself upon me, when I
never injured her in the least degree"
And then I remembered her history,
which helped explain her will.
When a young girl she- Al
freit King, the son ota, poor minister —
He had a reaped, scholarly r_iiud, but
no for pushing his way in the
world. Her father and brother objected
to the match, and did everything they
could to break it off. At last her broth
er Charles, my father, got hold of _ou_e
scandal which was attributed to him
( though afterwukvis \t proved false,) and
rep.,l leu. it to his father who shut his
door henceforth to Alfred King. He
also forbade his daughter to have any
tiling to do with him ; and after a lonjj
while, t*he had become perfectly
to every one, she was per
suaded to tn,!.rry _ very wealthy man

hfotber for the part he took in the whole
affair, but after her husband died she

gloomy house in Chicago. Eihesentfor

took quite a, taucy to me. j was then a
child of seven oy eight, and my father

I cried bitterly, a-i if she were there to

After awhile I became more quiet, and
thought that perhaps by daylight tbe
case would not look quite so hopeless —
Anyway I had till September, and per
haps before then something else might
happen which would secure me from
my fate.
The summer glided swiftly by, how
ever, only too swiftly. My trouble was
before me. There'weTe fi«biug parties,
picnics, rides, croquet parties, clam
bakes, something, going on constantly,
but it all failed to conjure away my
spectre Mr Weu'twortb was a great
acquisition to our small village society.
He was constantly engaged, so it was
the middle of Augaptj before, he began
my pioture. I was dpily getting more
nervous as SeptemHerapp'roached.- My
fatner, however, _66k it as a matter of
course that I would niariryiMr. King.

her to disappoint tne in this, and she
won't if she's the girl I take her to be "
This at last opened my even. Mr
Wentworth! Alas Imy heart told me
it was too lato The hours I had spent
sitting for my pioture were theonlv ones
of pea"c and happiness I hart, Mr. Went
worth talked most of the time while
painting, while I listened in silence -
He spoke ofthe pictures ofthe marten
which he had seen in Europe, and some
times he would repeat poetry or tell me
some ancient legend He was always
kind and thoughtful of me, and quite
often he watched me with a sad exi'n>..
sion in his eyes Quo© he said, "Miss
Mabel, something is troubling you "—
But J turned away and did not answer.
One day -it was the last ofthe month,
when my picture was nearly completed
—he broke out, quite impatiently .
"I don't see how it Js!" he cried. "I
cannot get ;t at nil."
"Qet what ?" I asked.
"Why, I want the expression that I
caught the first day I saw you; at the
pionic, you know. I have neve? really
seen it in your face since. Where has
it gone? I remember you said you were
so happy that you could not help think
ing of it. Now couldn't you think of
the same happiness for a few moments,
and let me see if I can get tne same __:
pressinn agaiu?"
I lifted my eyes-they were full of
tears. Where hud my radiant happi
nfss gone? He dropped his brush in
statUlv and came toward me.
"Mahel, what Is it ?" hesaid tenderly.
"What have I said to cause those tears?
I must know what is troubling you Do
yon think I have not noticed tbe change
in you—how pale your sweet face has
become, and how sad your eyes? It
lias pained me more than I can tell you.
for I love you. Mahel, I love you !" he
cried passionately; "love yon so much
that I would keep pain and sorrow away
from you always "
"Oh! you must not say such things o
me," I exclaimed, starting up, and
thrusting out my hands as if to put him
"Why not?" he asked anxiously.
"Beoanse—because I am engaged," I
sobbed, "or, rather, going to he—lf I
make up my mind—to somebody else "
"And do you love that somebody
else?" he asked, turning pale.
"No. I hate him. It is Aunt Hepsi
hab's heir, and she has left papa and me
some money, if I marry him, but if I
refuse we can't have the money ; and
papa needs it, and I am perfectly mis
erableabout.it" I stammered this out
through tears tbat I vainly tried to keep
back,
"Suppose you had the money in your
hands," hesaid, "that has been left to
your father, what would yon do—throw
the fellow over?"
"Indeed-indeed I would," I said,
hastily. "I would refuse his offer point
bli.uk, and not touch the money that
has been offered as a price for me."
"And you wouldn'tgive hiina ebance
to win your loveeven?" I must say that
is hardly fair."
I felt my face grow hot. I could not
answer. I was half angry with him for
probably, and resum .1 at once:
"Not that I regret it," he said. On the
contrary, it gives me hope. Take my
love, my whole heart into your keeping,
Mabel, and let my JUV.bepart of yours."
1 think he saw the 'nappy look on my
face— on__ more the look lie had asked
for in vain —for he caught me in his
arms and kissed me agaiu and again.—
After awhile he snid :
"And so you ure w.lling to give up v
fortune for the sake of a poor, struggling
"If I had but a crust of hread," I whis
pered, as I hid my face •_ his shoulder,
"I would rather share it with you than
roll ju wealth witn Mr King "
When J went home, tremulous will:
my secret, and in suspense waited until
Mr Wentworth should see my father
which he had promised to do the neal
day. I found that a note had come from
Mr King, saying that ba would be witli
us on the following morning. My fac«

the interview. What should I do?-
Frank had not come, and he had prom
ised to see father early. I heard voices
down in the parlor, father's and tooth
er's, anda murmuring undertone, which
of course was Mr. King's. In a few mo
merits my father called at the foot of th.
stairs;
"Come down, Mabel; you are want

An Old Proverb.
ORIGIN OP "TAKING DEVIL'S WATER
TO TURN TIIE LORD'S MILL."
A correspondent of the Boston Trans
cript says: —In the interesting letter
about "Old Boston" iv the Transcript
of the loth, the question is asked about
an old proverb, taking "the devil's wa
ter to turn the Lord's mill." Having
the origin of the pro - . _rb, I send it to
the Transcript.
About 1820, Key. Dr. Samuel Worces
ter, pastor ofthe Tabernacle Church in
Salem, Mass., (where the first foreign
missionaries were ordained) was ap
pointed ou a mission to go to Georgia to
adjust some difficulties between the
United States Government and the
Cherokee Indians. In order to go, he
wauled drafts for his expenses on Sa
vannah or Charleston, S. C. Heapplied
to the banks at Salem, and they could
not supply him. One of the cushiers, a
Baptist, with a twinkle in his eye, told
him h'- thought Deacon Stone might ac
commodate him. Now Deacon S ,"the
original of Deacon Gile's Distillery,"
was a deacon of the First Unitarian
Church, and a distillerof New England
rum. and at that time there was not as
niuchsympathy be ween the Orthodox
and (Jiiilariatis as t present. Dr.
Worcester called upon Deacon Stone at
his counting room in the distillery, and
stated his wants. Deacon Stone, cour
teous gentleman that he was, told him
he could furnish him the desired amount
in a draft at sight, and would do it with
pleasure at par, but there was one seri
ous objection in the way. "What is
that?" asked Dr. W. "It is," answered
Deacon S , "that the draft is in payment
for New England rum that I have sent
there." Dr. VV. rose up in his blandest
manner, patting Deacon S. on the
shoulder, answered : —" Never mind
that, Deacon S., never mind; we often
have to take the devil's water to run
the Lord's mill." The draft was made
out, and Dr. W. went on his way re
joicing.
Sabbath Best.—lt is a well esta
blished fact that more real work is per
formed by those who labor only for six
days than hy those who devote all tho
seven to unremitting toil. It has been
proved in the case of the overwrought
-!a'i...i D as well as in that of the'bus
driver, who works for sixteen hours a
day fr"'ii one week's end toanother. In
this occup ttion few pass the age of fifty
year-. The celebrated Mr. William
Wiliierforce, so well acquainted with all
the great statesmen at the beginning of
Ibta century — Pitt, Fox and other giants
of those days—has record that "he could
name several of his contemporaries in
the vertex of political cares wnose minds
have entirely given away under the
stress of intellectual labor so as to bring
on premature death." Sir David Wil
kie's experience was that "artists who
wrought on Sunday were soon disquali
fied from working at all," adding that
"be never knew a man to work seven
days in the week who did not kill him
self or his mind." Lord Chancellor
Bacon, Sir Matthew Hale and Sir Wil
liam Blackstone, amongst our Judges,
contribute tbe same testimony, and give
their experience of the moral injury
caused hy the practice. The litter says
'that a corruption of morals usually fol
lows a pr<__u_tinii of the Sabbath."
