With bleataaa rkh awl rtre

In the anneal eoft and fair
And each bright year In itself a sheaf
All bound together—the corn aad the leaf.
In life's bright aorning onr TOWI we made,
And promised, in day, to come,
Together to reap, In the aan or the shade.
Till the harTeatlng dajra were done
And hand inhand, in the twilight aweet,
We laid our flnt aheaf at the Master's test.
But a cloud arose in the sonny West,
A etond that portended rain
And the great drops vied with the fitful blast
To scatter onr golden grain
Bat we prayed that the clond might pass us by,
And give us again our clear blue sky.
Then the ran peeped out frem tti hiding place,
Aad Jeweled the hill and the glen
And the pearly dropa laughed in our weary ace,
And we gathered our sheaf again
And at daylight's close we hastened to bring
Our second sheaf as an offering.
And the other three in the sunshine fair,
Have been to reap and to bind:
And the binding cord wea the spirit prayer,
WithtovoWjefctthreafe entwined
And one by one, we gave them to Him,
Who smiled as He blessed as and took the a in.
And many the sheaves that are yet untied,

OHAPiasRi.
Aa otearly as if it wera yeaterday, I
remember that sombre November even
iog when I met ^oa Kendall? flntV
TSe luxury of afire in my awnroom was
an extra?aganoe unkooaro in the oloso
eeohomy which governed the domes*
tic arrangomonts of Kendall Manor.
Tired, therefore, of my seat in a oorner
by tho sitting-room fire tired Of watch
ing Undo Kendall's grave/' nigged
face, aa he sat with an account-book
open on his knee, running his bony
finger slowly down the column ot fig
ures, and only acknowledging my pres
ence by a frown if I made any noise
tiredof feeing kri, Kendall (not mfe^
but Sister-in-law attd housekeeper iof
this autocrat) nod over her' knitting
tired of the tall olook's drowsy tickihg
in one oorner tired of my odd, dog
eared volume of "The Dajs of Brooe \f
and most tired of all of myself, I rose
at last, slipped out of the room without
eliciting any thing more than a growl
from my affectionate guardian, and
bringing a shawl down from my cham
ber, wrapped it about me, preparatory
to setting out fat a^Walxv.T^^S
raw air—laden with eommg rain—-4hat
ball-
rushed over me as I closed tho
door, and stood on the broad stone steps
which led down to the avenue. The
sky was overcast with lowering masses
of gray cloud, scudding, along before
somewind-storm of the upper air, and
showing not a single rift in their sullen
gloom. The brown earth was strewed
with fallen leaves, while the gaunt,
bare branches of the tall oaks seemed
pointing like spectral fingers to the
lowering sky. ft was. not a particular
ly cheerful afternoon for outdoor ex
ercise but down the steps I went, and
was soon tramping along the avenue: as
if intent on an errand of life and death.
How clearly I recall, at this moment,
the peculiar, pungent odor of the dead
leaves over which I trod 1 If I should
live to oount fourscore years, I think
this fragrance of the autumn will air
ways bring back with Btraoge vividness
that gray afternoon rapidly closing into
twilight, the Bobbing miserere whioh
the bare trees seemed to be sighing
over their 'alien glory, and the' shabby
little figure in a much-worn shawl, ex
ecuting a movement very like a mili
tary "double-quiok" toward the gate.
Fortunately, this gate was not vary
distant, and I reached it before long.
There I paused, and, loaning my head
against the bars, looked aa wistfully
through them naif I bad been Peri,
and the common, beaten high-road run
ning past, a paradise. As I look, I re
member that a wild deaire oama xover
me to lift the heavy teh and go forth
to tho freedom whioh lay beyond.
What if I was but a girl—a homeless
waif whom Unole Kendall fed and
olothed out of charity—the world was
wide, and surely somewhere within its
borders I should find the loving hearts
and the happy home of whioh I dream
ed. God knows my lifThaa hot been a
bright one since that time, but some
thing like the pity whioh we feel for a
stranger oomes over me as think of the
desolate ohild who stood there on that
evening—burning with a fierce fever of
unrest, and pondering in the vague,
wild fashion of youth, whether she
should not make one desperate effort to
break the dull stagnation of a life nar
row and sordid beyond any powers of
expression.. ....
^r'..L^~.'.'"._'..
fM
1 had not quite, decided the question
in the affirmative, whan -I heard the
sound of a horse's hoofs. coming at a
aharp trot along the road. I did not
even turn my head in the direction
whence the sound came. Some belated
farmer going home, no doubt, or per
haps some one of the young gentlemen
who occasionally rode past. Kendall
eons of the large land-owners in its
neighborhood. They were nothing to
me—I knew none of them. Friend or
associate, admirer or lover, I bad not
in the world. Shielded, therefore, by
the gathering gloom, I kept my posi
tions-only starting suddenly from my
abatraotion when the horseman atop*
Stopped at tha gate of Kendall Ma
nor 1 I aould with diffioulty credit my
MW& W)M*$ *W»4 BB4 foond
home's noae within a few feet of me,
while bis rider stooped to tumble for
the latch., Through the falling dusk,
neither horse aor rider had pereoifed
^hp human figure leaning against the
gate and both ware startled when I
abruptly raised my nee. The horse
reared.backward, his rider
reins a sharp jerk, and a slight straggle
ensued—the gentleman saying some
thing which sounded rather forcible,
but which I did not, hear distinctly.
Then he raised his voice and addressed
me, whom he evidently took for a loit
ering servant.
"Opon the gate, if you please. Yon
have frightened my horse so that he ia
tojpnearjt/' .., ..
I meekly obeyed, opening the gate
andr Bbielding
myself behind it,, as 1
pulled it back. The horseman rode
sharply io—allowing his horse to look
neither to the right nor to the left—
and, touohine his hat slightly as he
passed me, said, "Thank you I" I made
no reply, tor I was amused by his mis
take, and did not think it worth while
to undeceive him. After he passed, I
pushed the gate back, and, while I
was lilting the latch with both hinds
in an endeavor, to replace it, I was start
led to find that* instead of pursuing his
way to the house, he wheeled round and
again addressed me.
"I beg pardon," he said, "I should
have asked before—is this Kendall
Manor7" .,:: .,]^ ,._
7
PThia ia it," answered I, briefly and,
having now raised the troublesome
latah to its proper place, I turned
round and meed the stranger—surely
very much of a stranger who could ask
such a question as that in Essex Coun
ty, and at the very entrance of the
Kendall domain. ...... .. ,: ..,^
As I have said before, it was dusk,
but I saw with tolerable distinctness
what my interlocutor looked like not
particularly handsome or particularly
imposing, but a gentleman undoubtedly
in air and manner—I had seen few
enough gentlemen in my life, yet I felt
certain on this point—a man who oould
not have been less than thirty or more
thao thirty-five apparently, who had an
easy, well-built figure, a bronze iaoe,
with a pair of dark eyes,,: a firm chin,
and a heavily drooping mustache.
As I turned:and gave the Searching
look neoeasary to take all this in, the
stranger smiled a little, apparently at
the coolness and frankness of my scrut
iny
"Do you live hate asked he, point
ing slightly toward the old brown bouse
'.'Yes," answered 1, Itoonioally.
"Can you tell me if Mr. Kendall
18
at home ?r •.
"He was at home half an hour ago."
"Thanks good-evening."
He touched his hat again, and this
time rode away without turning back.
I followed at my leisure—not partic
ularly anxious to reach the house, since
there was nothing for it now but the
oheerless solitude of my own chamber.
Once or twice a year, some stranger
came to see Uncle Kendall oh business,
and on these occasions I was always
summarily dismissed from the sitting
room. Doubtless, the same result
would follow on the present occasion.
My surprise was great, therefore,
when, as I opened the door half an
hour later, and stepped into the hall,
cold and tired, Unole Kendall's voice
sounded from the sitting-room.
"is that you, Beryl he cried ad
ding, when I answered in the affirma
tive, "Come here."
With my shawl still wrapped around
me, I obeyed, entering the sitting room,
where a bright fire made a most unusu
al illumination, and facing Unole Ken
dall—seated bolt upright in his large
chair—and the stranger for whom I
had opened the gate half a hour be*
fore.-
"Come here, Beryl," repeated my
unole, as I paused just within the door,
feeling strangely awkward and abashed
"Don't look so frightened, child no
body is going to harm you—She has
grown up here," he went on, looking
at his companion "but she will do us
credit some day—eh, HossF"

Even those few words were full of so

"I never heard of you before," I
said, "but since you are a Kendall, I

Somehow my entrsnoe seemed to
have created a little embarrassment.
They were both silent for some minutes
then Uncle Kendall spoke again.
"I told you a little while ago, Ross,"
he said, in his dry, measured way,
"that I would wait until Beryl oame in

had in view when I sent for you.

—"without having bettered yourself

for your father—he was the only one of
all the kin I ever could bear—I thought
I wenld take a look at you. You areUncle

hard look indeed "but I think you
may do better than he did. You've got
a firmer jaw. Firmness is the great
thing in this world, lad. You'll know
that when you are as old ss I am."
"I know it now," said Ross Kenball,
very grimly.
"The sooner you learn it, the better,"
said the other. "If you have that, you
won't let a woman make a fool of yon,
as your father's wife did of him you
won't marry her for her pretty face, as
he did, withouf caring it her heart is as
black as Gehenna and, above all, you
won't be wheeled into leaving your
property to her, so that she ean marry
again, and despoil your own son of
every penny, as you have been despoiled.
By boy!"—I had never seen Un
ole Kendall so excited as when he
brought his hand down on the arm of
bis chair with that vehement oath—
"I have thought of your wrongs some
times till I would have given every
dollar I am worth to prosecute that
woman, as she deserves, for robbery
and plunder but she is too clever to
give us a ohanoe for that."
"Let us rather say that my father
trusted her too implicitly," said the
other coldly. "Let it pass, sir. I think
of it as little aa possible. In fact"—
shrugging his shoulders—"I have not
had time to think of muoh besides my
business during the last ten years."
"Have you made any money out
there in China V*
"A little/' was the reserved reply.
"Enough to keep you from going
back ?—for you told me a while ago
you had no liking for the place."...
"So far from that, I suppose my
employers will send me back next
month."
"For how long?"
"Another ten years, probably."
."Humph I" said Uncle Kendall.
For a minute nothing further occur
red. The clock tioked the fire burn
ed obtrusively Unole Kendall looked
at the leaping blaze and 1 looked at
the man who had oome from China,
and was thinking of going back again,
until the eyes of this wonderful travel-,
er turned on me, whereupon my own
immediately sought the floor. After
that I contented myself with looking
at the drugget—feeling, the while, ex
ceedingly hot and uncomfortable—un
til the voice whioh I knew so well, and
(God forgive me!) disliked so intense
ly, spoke again, very slowly:
"I'm an old man, Ross, as you sea,ed
and I'm note strong man, as the doo
tor tells me every time I meet him so,
of late, I've been thinking who's to
have this old plane after I'm dead. It
ought to go to some one of the name
but I don't know one that isn't a mer
cenary, unprincipled scoundrel—unless
it be yourself. Root and branch, they
have been the pest of my life for years,
until I have sworn that I will leave
Kendall and every dollar I own to the
country sooner than to any of 'em.
You are the only one that has never
tried to make any thing out of me, lad,
and I have thought more than onoe of
leaving it all to you but, then, yon
were in China, aod I couldn't tell what
you might have grown into. Now that
I've seen you, however, I am willing
enough to make you my heir—only
there's one obstacle in the way."
"What obstacle asked Ross. He
spoke quietly, butl, who was looking
at him, saw a sudden flush oome to his
cheek, and a sodden light to his eye.
It was evident that the prospect of lib
erty and fortune Wat very pleasant to a
man expecting to go back to China for
another ton years. "What obstacle T*
he repeated, after a minute.
"That girl 1" answered Unole. Ken
dall, pointiogliis bony finger straight
at me.
To say that the girl in question was
astonished at this unexpected reply,
would be to say very little indeed. I
was so much confounded that I oould
not speak—-1 oould only gaze, aa if
transfixed, at the finger, and wonder
what Unole Kendall possibly meant by
suoh an assertion.
"She expeots to be my heiress," pur
sued the amiable old person, alter a
minute, in atone of great disgust.
"I don't expect it 1" I cried, indig
nantly finding voice at this. "I nev
er thought of being your heiress, Un
ole Kendall 1 I don't ate why you

should say I did. I—I mean to be a
governess, and take care of myself. I
told Aunt Kendall so yesterday."
"Indeed I" said he, sardonically.
"And may 1 ask what you mean to
teach?"
The blood rushed into my cheeks
like a flame, andtothis day I remem
ber the keen throb of humiliation
which made me hang my head like a
chidden child. I had never been sent
school, but had grown into a tall
girl of seventeen, with only such little
smattering of reading, writing, and ar
ithmetic, as Aunt Kendall oould give.
Under the circumstances, the governess
idea was certainly sufficiently absurd
but, then, why need Uncle Kendall
have taunted me with my ignorance in
suoh a tone, and in the presence of a
stranger?
It was the voice of the latter whioh
broke the silence—quiet, but with a
kindness in it whioh I understood in
stinctively to be meant for me.
"Beryl is the daughter of your niece,
is she not?" he asked, addressing Un
cle Kendall. "Certainly, in that case,
she has abetter right to your fortune
than I."
"She has no right at all," retorted
Kendall. "She is a fool if she

leave the manor to a Kendall and I
should like the fortune I have spent
my life in making to go along with it.
But the has to bo provided for, I sup

at me again—"and so I have been

"I have been too poor a man to af
ford suoh a luxury," answered.the oth
er. Be tried to speak gravely, but my
sharpened ears could detect an irresisti
ble inclination to laugh in his voice.
That tone proved a drop too muoh in
the already brimming cup of my shame
and contusion. Child thongh I was, I
eould still appreciate the indignity and
contempt with whioh I had been treat
ed and burning tears of rage were in
my eyes as I rose suddenly to my
feet.
"Iam going, Unole Kendall!" I
said, in a voioe which trembled from
the same cause. "I—I cannot stay
any longer. It is true you have fed
and olothed me," I oried, passionately
"but you have not bought me, and you
have no right to offer me along with
your fortune 1 I don't want any of it

such ap insult as this I"
Ia the young fool mad demand
ed Uncle Kendall, too mnoh surprised
to be angry. "What the devil does
she mean ?—Take your seat again this
minute, Beryl!"
But for once I was deaf to the voice
of command. I rushed to the door,
and it was while 1 was fumbling blind-1
ly at the latch that I found Ross Ken-
dall at my side.
"Come baok, Beryl," he'said, as he
might have spoken to a child. "Your
unole did not mean to offend you. He
is plain-spoken, like all old people, but
he meant no harm. Of course his idea
was absurd but why not laugh at it
instead of taking it like this I have
a bettor one to propose, instead," he
added, laughing hiself. "Won't
you come back and listen to it By
Jove, if you don't"—as I still retained
inflexible hold of the door—"I shall
order my hone at onoe for yonr claim
to Kendall is certainly better than
mine!"
"I have no olaim 1" said I But
curiosity, operating with the last threat
brought me baek. Then, having plac
me in a chair, Ross addressed him
self to my unole.
"I have ten days to spare, sir," he
said, "and sinoe your letter was very
kind, I oame down, meaning to spend
them at the manor. Now, I propose
that, instead of talking any further
about estates and heirships, we devote
these ten days to learning something
about each other. You cannot possibly
tell how muoh or how tittle you
mayward
like me or trust me on closer aoquaint
anoe, while, as for this young lady"—
he turned and looked at me with a
smile in his kind, dark eyes—"I trust
that she may at least learn to tolerate
me as a cousin. All questions of any
thing else we will waive at once. It is
enough to say that no consideration
oould tempt metooffer myself to a wo
man I did not love honestly and
forthe
herself!"
"The more fool yon 1" commented
Unole Kendall, in his usual candid
fashion. "There is some sense in what
jou say about deferring the diaoussion
of business till we know eaeh other a
little bettor," he added after a pause
"only I am opposed to delays. We
never know what may happen and I
had a ianey to draw up my will to
morrow, before I go—as I am obliged
to do—on a journey of five or six days.
However sinoe you have a notion for
waiting, let it be so I I only hope that
wheo I oome back you and Beryl will
have made up your minds to take eaeh
other for life. It is all nonsense, this
thing'of men and women talking of
choosing eaeh other for love. The only
sensible thing to do is to choose the
person who can make you most com
fortable. If you both agree to what I
propose, I'll see you safely married,
and' then I'll draw up a will leaving
everything I am worth to you, Ross.
I don't believe in women's ever owning

We have it from the very highest
authority that Plymouth Church will
take no steps toward investigating the
charges against Mr. Beeoher, nor to
calling Mr. Bowen to account for
anything he may have said concerning
his pastor. And, furthermore, we have
the best authority for saying that
neither Mr. Beeoher, Mr. Bowen, nor
Mr. Tilton will take any further notice
of the disagreeable scandal that has
been set afloat, and with whioh their
•names are more or less directly associ
ated. So far as they are oonoerned,
whole matter will be ignored, and
buried in silence and regret. We hope*
ed that a different course would bo
pursued. It has seemed to us that it
was due to Mr. Beeoher, to tho church,
to his friends all over the country, and
to the American people, that this vast
and black mass of aoonsation and insin
uation should be thoroughly explored
and completely dissipated.. We still
think that he and his advisors make a
great mistake in not pressing an im
mediate and thorough investigation.
But, as they have deeided on a differ
ent policy, we can only hope that tho
disagreeable matter will be allowed to
drop out of public discussion, and be
left to bury itself as best it ean. Peo
ple have long memories, and have a
wonderful penchant for recollecting
some things. And while the majority
of our people will think of Mr. Beeoher
as the "golden-mouthed Chrysostom"
of the American pulpit, there are not a
few who will persist in regarding him
as the David of tho modern church.
The thing cannot bo helped but it ia
henceforth a matter of mete private
opinion.
