Enfolding death in its mantleJof woe, And bidding the spirit of beauty go; While over tho earth the shadow of night 1s spreading its wings with a gloomy delight. Gleaming and white, in the lonely midnight, Stand monuments pale with faces of light. Watchful, as sentinels guarding the dead, "Mong the fading autumn leaves of red. Silent above in the shadowy sky The threatening clouds go hurrying by, Driven along by the wild breath of night, Casting their shadows below in their flight Covering the graves where the weary rest, And the turf lies cold o'er the pulseless breast, Where the mourners come o'er the dead to weep, That linger alone in their dreamless sleep. As the moaning cry of the night winds call, With the treinbling wail of the lindens tall. The light of day flashes from East to West, And covers the earth with its golden crest.

THE HOOSIER SCHOOL-MASTER. BY EDWARD EGGLESTON, From Hearth and Home. CHAPTER XXIV. THE GOOD SAMARITAN. | The Methodist church to which Mrs. Matilda White and Miss Nancy Sawyer belonged was the leading one in: Lewis. burg, as it is in most _county-seat villages | in Indiana. If I may be permitted to ex- press my candid and charitable opinion of the difference between the two women, I shall have to use the old Quaker locution, and say that Miss Sawyer was a Methodist and likewise a Christian; Mrs. White was a Methodist, but I fear she was not like- wise. As to the first part of this assertion, there was no room to doubt Miss Nancy's piety.} She could get happy in class-meet- ing (for who had a better rightl), and could witness a good experience in the quarterly love-feast, But it is not upon these grounds that I base my opinion of Miss Nancy. Do not even the Pharisees the same? She never dreamed that she had any right to speak of " Christian Perfec- tion" (which, as Mrs. Partington said of total depravity, is an excellent doctrine if itis lived up to); but when a woman's heart is full of devout affections and good purposes, when her head devises liberal and Christlike t , when her hands are always open to the poor and always busy with aets of love and self-denial, and when her feet are ever eager to run upon errands of mercy, why, if there be any- thing worthy of being called Christian Per- fection in this world of imperfection, I de not know why such an one does not pos- sess it. What need of analyzing her ex- periences in vacuo to find out the state of her soul? How Miss Nancy managed to live on her slender income and be 80 generous was a perpetual source of perplexity to the gossips of Lewisburg. And now that she declared that Mrs. Thomson and Shocky should not return: to the: poor-house there was a general outcry from the whole Committee of Intermeddlers that she would bring herself to the poor-house be- 11y. | vineed Bud more than ever that she wasa burg, the Sunday that Shocky spent in an Earthly Paradise, the Sunday that Mrs. Thomson spent with Shocky instead of old Mowley, the Sunday that Miss Nancy thought was " just like heaven," was also an eventful Sunday with Bud Means. He had long adored Miss Martha in his secret heart, but, like many other giants, while brave enough to face and fight dra- goons, he was a coward in the presence of the woman that he loved. Let us honor him for it. The man who loves a woman truly, reverénces her prof y and 'feels abashed in her p The man who is never abashed in of hood, the man who tells his love without a tremor, is a heart- less, shallow egotist. Bud's nature was not fine, But it was deep, true, and man- To him Martha Hawkins was the chief of women. What was he that he should aspire to possess her? And yet on that Sunday, with his erip- pled arm carefully bound up, with his cleanest shirt, and with his heavy boots freshly oiled with the fat of the raccoon, he started hopefully through fields white with snow to the house of Squire Haw- kins. When he started his spirits were high, but they descended exactly in pro- portion to Lis proximity to the object of his love. He thought himself not dressed well enough, He wished his shoulders Were not 80 square, and his arms not so stout. He wished that he had book-larn. in' enough to court in nice, big words. -- And so, by recpunting his own deficien- cies, he succeeded in making himsel feel weak, and awkward, and ly guod- for-nothing' by the time he walked up be- tween the long rows of hollyhocks to the | Squire's front door, to tap at 'which took all his remaining strength. Miss Murtha received her perspiring lover most graciously, but this only con- pr w superior being. If she had slighted him a bit, 50 as to awaken his combativeness a little, his bashfulness would have disap- peared. It was in vain that Martha inquired about his arm and complimented his courage. Bud could only think of his big feet, his clumsy hands, and his slow tongue. He answered in monosyllables, using his red silk handkerchief diligently. "Is your armn): oving!" asked Mis® Hawkins. "Yes, I think it is," said Bud, hastily crossing his right leg over his left, and trying to get his fists out of sight. ' Have you heard from Mr. Pearson I" "No, I ha'n't," answered Bud, remov- ing his right foot to the floor again, be- cause it looked so big, and trying to push his left hand into his pocket. " Beantiful sunshine, isn't it!" said Mar- tha. *" Yes, 'tis," sticking his right foot up on the rung of chair and putting his right hand behind him. "This snow looks like the snow we have at the East," said Martha. "It snowd that way the time I was to Bost: ing." "Did it" said Bud, not thinking of the snow at all, but thinking how much better he would have appeared had he left his arms and legs at home. "I suppose Mr. Hartsook rode your horse to Lewisburg 1" "Yes, he did ;" and Bud hung both hands at his side. "You were very kind." This set Bud's heart a-going sd that he could not say. anything, but he looked elo- quently at Miss Hawkins, drew both feet under the chair, and rammed his hands in- to his pockets. Then, suddenly remem- bering how awkward he must look, he im- mediately pulled his hands out again, and crossed his legs. There was a silence of a few minutes, during which Bud made up his mind to do the most desperate thing he could think of--to declare his love and take the consequences. "You see, Miss Hawkins," he began, forgetting boots and fists in his agony, "1 thought as how I'd come over here to-day, and" --but here his heart failed him utter- ly--*'and--see--you." "I'm glad to se you, Mr. Means." | to empty itself upon the head, of Hartsook. BE -- ------ ee =r etter erase ---------- MARCH 15, 1872.

And those who wished to touch . Bud he tender place through this letter knew Bquire's weakness far better than they knew the spelling-book. To see his new red barn with its large " Mormon" hay. press inside, and the mgunted Indien on the vane, consumed, was too much for the Hawkins heart to stand. Evidently the danger was on the side of his niece. But how should he influence Martha to give up Bud! Martha did not value the hay- stacks half so highly as she did her lover. Martha did not think the new red bam, with the great Mormon press inside and the galloping Indian on the vane, worth half so much as a moral principle or a kind-hearted action. Martha, bless her! would have sacrificed anything rather than forsake the poor. | But Squire Hawkin's lips shut tight over his false teeth ,in a way that suggested astringent purse- strings, and Squire Hawkins could not sleep at night if the new red barn, with the galloping Indian on the vane, were in danger. Martha must be reached some- how, . 80, with many adjustings of that most adjustable wig, with many turnings of that reversible glass eye, the squire man- aged to frighten Martha by the intimation that he had been threatened, and to make her understand, what it cost her much to understand, that she must turn the cold shoulder to chivalrous, awkward Bud, whom she loved so| tenderly, partly, per- anybody she knew at the East. Tuesday evening was the fatal time.-- Spelling-school was the fatal occasion. Bud was the victim. Pete Jones had his distinguished herself by holding her ground which, indeed, he had never heard, but resk nothin* you'll never git nothin'." So, when the spelling-school had adjourned, he sidled up to: her, and, looking dread- fully solemn and a little foolish, he said : "Kin I see you safe home 1" And she, with a feeling that her uncle's life was in danger, and that his salvation depended upon her resolution--she, with a feeling that she was pronouncing sentence of deathon her own great hope, answer- od huskily: "¢ No, I thank you." If she had only known that it was the red barn with the Indian on top that was galloping brave take care of himself. It seemed to: Bud, as he walked home mortified, disgraced, disappointed, hape- less, that all the world had gone down in a whirlpool of despair. | 'Might a knowed it," he said to him- self, "Of course, a ft gal like Mar tha a'n't agoin' to take a big, burly, blund- erin' fool that can't spell into syllables. 'What's the use of tryin'? A Flat Cricker is a Flat Cricker. You can't make no- thin' else out of him, no more nor you can mak a china hog into a Berkshire." CHAPTER XXVIIL A LOSS AND A GAIN. Dr. Small, silent, attentive, assiduous Dr. Small, set himself to work to bind up the wounded heart of Bud Means, even as he had bound up his broken arm. The | flattery of his fine eyes, which looked at Bud's muscles so admiringly, which gave attention to his lightest remark, was not lost on the young Flat Creek Hercules. -- Outwardly at least Pete Jones showed no Was it respect for muscle, or was it the /influence of Small? At any rate, the con- centrated extract of the resentment of Pete Jones and his clique was now ready nah believed in him, the whole world other, of what account was the world? me think you auything else but a good man.

Respéctfully, " Haxxan THoMPSOX." ""To Mr. R. Harrsoox, Esq." Ralph read it over and 'over, = What else he did with it I shall not tell. You want to know if he kissed it, and put it in' his bosom. Many a man as intelligent and manly as Hart 0%: has done quite as foolish a thing as that. You have been a little silly perhaps--if it is silly--and you have acted ir. a sentimental sort of a way over such things. But it would never do forme to tell you what Ralph did.-- Whether he put the letter in his bosom or not, he put the words in his heart, and, metaphorically speaking, he shook | that little blue billet, written on coarse fools- cap paper--he shook that little letter, full of confidence, in the face and eyes of all the calamities that haunted him.

It ran brough a thicket of willows, through the sugar-camp, and out into Mean's pasture. Ralph had just pas- sed through the thicket, had just crossed the brook on the half-decayed log that spanned it, when, as he emerged from the water-willows on the other side, he start- ed with a sudden shock. For there was Hannah, with a white, white face, hold- ing out a little nete folded like an old- fashioned thumb-paper. Justice may be blind, but all the pictures of blind cupids in the world can not niake Lova blind. And it was well that Ralph weighed things in this way.

And Shocky slept in his mother's arms and prayed God not to forget Hannah, while 8hocky's mother knit stockings for the store day and night, and day and night she prayed and hoped.

"I'mreal glad to hear it," said the bland but disappointed Martha. = "We used to have spelling-sthools at the East." But Miss Martha could not remember that they had them "to Bosting." Hard as it is for a bashful man to talk, it is still more difficult for him to close the conversation. Most men like to leave a favorable impression, and a bashful man is always waiting with forlorn hope that some favorable turn in the talk may let him out without absolute discomfiture.-- And so Bud stayed a long time, and how he ever did get away he never could tell. -- CHAPTER XXVI A LETTER AND ITS coNsmqUENCES, *' Squar haukins *¢ this is too Lett u no that u beter be Keerful hoo yoo an yore familly tacks cides with fer peeple wont Btan it too hey thé Men wat's sportin the wons wat's rob- in us, sported bi yor Fokes kepin kumpne with 'em, u been a ossifer ov the Lau, yor Ha wil bern as quick as to an yor Barn tu. se Tak kere.

In vain he sought an interview. Bud always eluded him. While by all the faces about him Ralph learned that the storm was getting nearer and nearer to himself. It might delay ; if it had been Pete Jones-alone, it might blow over. But Ralph felt sure that the relentless hand of Dr. Small was present in all his troubles. And he had only to lodk into Small's eye to know how inextinguishable was a malignity that burned so steadily sand se quietly. But there is no cup of unmixed bitter ness. With an innocent man there is no blue foolscap, in round, old-fashioned hand. It ran: "Dear Sir: Anybody who can do so | good a thing as you did for our Shocky, can not be bad. - T hope you will forgive Run fer yore life. and fether or waas to-night. Things is awful juberous. The first question with Ralph was whether he could depend on Bud. he soon made up his mind that treachery of this sort was not one of his traits.
