An Old Fnshfoucd I.ore Story.
BY O. DE 8..'
It was St. ValuntiHe's eve, and a cold
blustering, windy night ~ there had* not,
as yet, been the faintest suspicion of
spring time in the almo&phero; indeed,,
there was every indication of a long and
heavy winter lingering in the lap of spring
in«tead, and the bleak wind whistled and
blew furiously as Ralph Wayland quick
ly opened and closed the dpor yjf No. 20
Wmthrop Square, and strode down the
4 street with rapid step*. Tlie wind uiight
bo cold, bat his temper was hot enough,
and ho rather enjoyed the keen nipping
air, that fanned bis heated brow as bo
paced the square. Behind that same
closed door, there was hidden another
* pair ot hot Pushed cheeks, and a feminine
tem, orjquile as warm prompted the an
gry words that fell irom Bertha Warren's
pretty bps.
'He may lust gol lie is ridiculously
jealous, and unreasonabla, and unjust; I
will not bo dictated to and controlled in
this mannei, and I don't euro; do there,
sir!* and with aftounco of silken frills
and iringos, and a toss ol the brown pnffi
aud braids that adorned the saftcy little
head, Bertha Warren slummed the parlor
door and rau up stairs-into the sitting
room. It was only uiue o'clock, but there
was no one up but Grandm» v Snow, and
she was yecy busy sorting over and read
iug some old papers at her secretary; so
Bertha threw herself down upon the
lounge, and pretending to take a little
nap, enjoyed a quiet little cry to herself,
bemoaning thecruelty and
jiess of lovers in general, and hers in
particular. It was such a bare trifle, this
quarrel, so thought Bertha; all about a
simple little paper cutter, Charley Ben
.net had brought it to her fioiu abroad,
aud she bad accepted it, ot course, as
irom a friend. Why not? She aiid Char
ley had been acquainted long bffn'e sho
ever kuew Ralph Wayland; to be sure
there was' a time, before Charted went
away, that he wanted to be more than a
friend; but to that she had not consented
uud so they had bade one auotWt good
bye as old friends, no more. Difring his
absence, she had said "yes" to Ralph
Wayland's same importuning, and had
promised to one day vow to 'love, honoi
and obey'him: but she was not ready
just yet, to submit to his authority, and
so she rebelled against his jealous pro
tests concerning Charley Beunetf»*euew
ed atteutious, and her acceptance of
his gift. Love with her did not mean
subjection, and she would show Ralph
Wayland that she had a spiritot her own,
that would not brook a curb—and she
'didn't care if he was angry, and went
homo without kissing her good-Bight,
aud slammed the door'—and just hero a
choking sob put an eloquent end to her
brave determination not to care.
•What is It, Bertie?' asked grandma,
looking up irom her letters with a scruti
nizing gaze at the flushed face, hid down
among the sofa pillows.
'Nothing, I've—l've got a cough,'
gasped Bertha, in a ehokiug lone.
♦Has Ralph gone home so early? on
Valeutiue's ev4jloo?—why what is the
trouble, dear? on such a night lov6rs
should be happy together. See, I am
with mine, in memory, to-night,' aud
Grandma pointed lo a little pile ol papers
by her side.
• . Bertha lifted her Lend, and seeing
grandma's secret drawer open, rose and
came over beside the old lady, aud knelt
down beside the secretary. There aps
peared to be a heap of old notes and let
ters, all written in the same hand, but
with diflcreut iuks aud apparent im
provement aud difference iu the stylo of
lenmauabip.
'All valentines, my dear—every one;
and written many years ago,' said grand
ma, with a sigh.
> *May 1 read tbciji?' asked Bertha, tak
iug up a little faded jclluiv paper, ou

which was printed iu a childish, sprawl
ing hand:
"Ifon love me as I love von.
No knife can cut our love in two,"
'That surely was Irom a little boy
sweetheart, grand m»,'said Bert ha, laugh
ingly. 'Now let !ii(> see some of the oth
ers,'and taking up another, she road iu
a bolder, firmer hand, the sumo lines;
"If you love uie as 1 love you,
No knife cau cut our love iu two,"
and again another, and another paper,
all containing the same refrain.
' Why, Grandma!'cried Bertha in a
somewhat puzzled tone, but wtlli an
amused look upon her face.
•Yes dear.' replied grandma, nodding
her head and looking serious. ' Ves they
i are all alike. I had ono every year, from
tlie time. wiien your grandtather and I
used to go to school together, little boy
and girl, ami sit on opposite sides of the
school house, up to the tin.c we sat 6ide
I by side in church; young man aiid •maid

iuu our married lite, aud our old days
pis well; here is tno lust ono he sent me,

—and 1 did love him, just so dearly, and
no kuife, no (rouble, uor sorrow, nor
care,ever separated us, not even death;
for 1 ain still his love, as he is mine!' and
Grandma Snow's whfte head was bent
down over the little pile of papers, and
her face hiddeu.
The lines had a new sound to Bertha's
ears. 'No kuije cau cut our lovo in
two/ Was a toolish little wooden paper
knife going to separate Ralph and her?
was love so tender a thing, then? was her
love so weak and trail that it could not
pardon a lover's reasonable jealousy ?
A new light shone upon the affair now;
sbe began to look at Charley Bonnot'6
renewed attonion through Ralph's eyes,
and she was sorry; but she had refused
to promise lover to receive* neither
attention or gifts.
'lie never forgot the day,' continued
grandma, alter a little silence. ''There
whs always a Valentine for mother.
Sometimes it was a nretty now silk that
1 had admired, or a ticket for sjine lec
ture oi concert, or a book 1 wanted; but
with St. Valentine's day, there always

Kift,

'That wj&s old-lashioncd lovo grandma.
I don't believe the love of to-day is so
lasting or so true; is it, do you think?'
asked Bertha, timidly.
'Fashioned? there is no fashion iu love,
my dear; it is worn al ways in ono spot
—next tire heart; and when once truly
adopted, iieoS wears out.'
Berlbu was silent fur a moment; then
she asked, gravely:
'Did you and Graudpa over quarrel,
wheii you were lovers? was he over jeals.
ous, aud were you over hatelul?'
Grandma smiled as she glanced at the
blushing, conscious face, and answered:
■Oh yes, we had our littlo difference of
opinion, to be sure; but love always
came to (he rescue and smoothed out (he
wrinkles, and made the crooked places
straight; sometimes it was he who was
wrong, but as olten it was I; out 'no
knife'of distrust or jealousy, oi' petulant
temper, could 'cut our love iu two;' and
thus it is always with pure, true, fond
affection; it overlooks aud makes allow
ances, and forgives aud forgets every
little strain upon its tender spots. 7
•Thank you grandma, dear. Your
Valentine has been just what I needed
to-night. Ralph and I have quarrelled,
but 1 was lo blame the most; and 1 am
very sorry, and I will be the first to make
amends,' and kissing the old lady, Bertha
hurriedly ran up to her room, where sho
wrote the following liltle note, whnh
was received b/ Mivßalph Wayland the
next fuoruing:
"If yon love me as I love you,
No knife can cut our love in two,"
Ido not mean to keep Charley Beuuet's
preseut-1 am sorry for all I said last
night—aud lam \ our true, loving Val

St. Valentine's day dawned bright and
beautiful. The high, wild winds had
died away in the uight, aud with the
sunshine there came soft promising spring,
airs that whispered of the new life down
bi the earth's heart. Sparrows clipped
in tho park, and blue biids aud robius
flow over the city housetops singing of
•spring, spring, beautiful spring.'
At breakiast time a messenger boy
brought for ''Aliss Bertha Warren,' a

'The lines, perhaps, but not tho love,
dear; that is always the same, new aud
fresh, aud if true, over lasting.'
Bertha put the flowers to her lips and
sang out loud and merrily:
"If you love me as 1 love you,
No kuife can cat our love into."
FU* IN I'lll£ IIOI'SB,
Mr. Maui lox .llnkc* the iTlrinbcrs l.iingh
lor a Whale hour,
It was while iu the llou.se, In Conii
inittee of ilie whole, was discussing iho
matter ot the revision ot the rules. The
old rules, Mr. Cox said, had been inVeut
ed lor the purpose in>t of facilitating, but
of impeding Legislation. The statesmen
of that day lad not been iu tavur of
opening sluices fur legislaiion. But
since then the number of bills in Con
gress had increased from 300 or 400 lo
about 7,000, ami therefore a revision of
tUe rules had become necessary and in
dispensable to facilitate legislation!
Turning his attention to liorr, of Michi
gan, who had recently refered to nim in
a humorous speeufi, he denied that the
committee on Foreign Affairs bad, only
heenengaged iu luaufttclurnig witticisms
He (Cox) had been useful as well as ors
uamenui lie reminded that gentleman,
however, that all humor in debate should
have a praclicle object. Ail great men
were, and had boon, witty. It was.
therefore, no cause ot reproach that tho
comiiiilteo on Foreign Affairs had a
chairman who sometimes hud been ac
cused, put never fairly convicted, of wit
ticism. [Laughter.] Laughter was
health. It was good for the bouse. It
oiled tho joints and the countenance,
causing it to shine like that cf his iriend
(llorr.) lie asked that gen tlemaii, 'why
should the spirit of mortal be proud?'
Why should there bo proud flesh in the
House? It Goliah or Dun Lambert weru
here would they twit a mail like himself
about Ids size, lsuac Now'wti, wlton
born, was put by his mother in a quar-t
cup. He wished he hul a cup'to try the
gentleman (llorr) with lie "(Cox) was
not proud of his appearance. lie did
'not swell around the House, as soiuo
others did. When somebody asked Fid
staff what he was übout, somebody said,
'Two vardi.' There was no disability
under the law iu a man's being small: i
tha Constitution torbado a man being a
member under a certain age, but it did
not say that a omu had to be six feet
high or two yards in gjrtU. [Laughter at
the expense ol HOIT, who is u large,stout
man] He (Uox) represented largo men,
fighting men, good men. They had
never taken his altitude, and the gentle
man (Hon) should not have done it.
His constituents never thought that blub
ber was intellect, thai meat meant man
hood cr that layers ot lard over (lie ab
dominal muscles made Gladstones ami
Disraelis. Shakespeare had said that
flesh and frailly ever went together, and
that tho devil would never nave Fulsiuff
datnucd lest the oil iu him should set hell
on fire. He niado these remarks in the in
terest of Public improvement. Suppose
the gentleman (Hon) had a largo .duo
denum, a larger sternum or a longer os
coccygis than him?cll,~ or suppose that
gentleman's ancestors had held ou with
u prehensile gup ol the old Darwinian
limb and with a longer and stronger
power than his (Cox's) ancestors had
done, would that give the uentlomau a
right tocritize him (Cox) on account of
his size. II he (Cox) were called upon
to write the gentleman's epitaph he
would [borrowing Irom the sweet 'Sing
cr ot Michigan' aiid Lord Byron] put iu
these words: 'Here lies the body at'Con
grcssinan llorr; 'lis grease [Gieece[, but
living grease no more.'
Alter some remarks in reply to Mr*
Keuua, of West Virginia, Mr. Cox closed
his speech.
HOUR'S REPLY NEXT DAY.
The galleries were crowded with spec
tators aud the member'* gathered around
Mr. Hoir who spoke from the space in
trout of the speakers desk.
lie stated that belore he began his re
ply to the eloquent aud able speech of
the dislinguished and weighty gentleman
from New York [Mr. Cox] ho would
ask the clerk to read the speech or a por
tiou of it, which he [Mr. llorr] bmi de
livered a few ifays ago, and which had
occasioned that feartul eflorl which the
House had witnessed yesterday.
The clerk read as tollows: 'Genial liU
tie friend.' '[Loud applause and laughs
ter.] *
. Mr. llorr justified himself tor using
those words by explaining that they were
spoken iu the heat of debate. [Laugh,
ter.] lie had spent his boyhood iu man
ual labor and hard work aud was con
sequently sometimes embarrassed and iu
this extreme diffidence dropped words
which lie was sor. yjfoi-after vanls. Had lie
known the sensitiveness ol iho gentleman
from New York: had he known the po
etry of his nature, he would have ad
dressed the genllctuau iu the language of
a modern poet as "vfcar little Buttercup.'
JUoutinued laughter.] Alluding to the
book 'Why we Laugh,' whi«-li Mr. Cox
had sent to bun yesterday, he said that
he regarded it us the gentleman's best
work because it contained very little
Cox and a good deal of other men.
[Laughter.] Nothing had been further
troin his mind than the idea ot belittling
the gentleman irom New York belore
this assemoly. He knew the gentleman's
weight and accomplishment aud tar bell
from hiiu lo contest with hiin. Why,
some one bad intimated lo him that it
was thought he was trying to get tome
belt from the gentleman. (iood heav
ens! What good would it bo to liim?
[Great i«ughter, caused by llorr's Reel
ing his own waist and insinuating that'
a bell that woid fit Cox would bo much
too small lor him.] nr.au could sur
pass him iu his admiration for the lieau-t
liful toi'in of the gentleman lium New
Yoik, aud be litvcr looked at him without
thinking ol some ancient Grecian model.
A thing of beauty wasaloy forever.' How
simple a statement and * jet how true.
But lie wa.ded to mako a suggestion to
his Iriend which ho thought would add
to his already excodin« grace and be "li
ly, mid llint was that Brother Cox should
part his hair in the middle and wear bang 9.
ELotid aud continued laughing.] He
Mr. dorr] now approchud another sub
ject 'reuiblingly, because his Iriend had
told the lloit.au yesterday that he onco
blow a inali rj«iit through a key-hole,and
he (Mr. IIIUT) did not want such a light
Vqueeze. His friend had inadifa Speech
during the extra session o:i the 'test,
outh.' That speech had marked in it
'laughter* fourteen limes, 'uoplaiiso'. six
times, 'great laughter' once, "applnnso
aud laughter" oneo,an?i 'long Con
tinued applause' once. Ho wanted
to know-it the rumor was true that that
speech had been printed, laughter, ap- |
platise ami all, three days before it was
delivered. [Uoarg ot laughter.] That
wus a big auvaiiuigo. Gentlemen who
could sit down in tho darkness ot the
midnight hour, aud when they got a
luliny thing just stop and cheer theiiiV
selves, ami write iu 'laughier' had a
great advantage. The gentleman did i
too much lor the world. That was prjb
ably the reason for his being so thin,
it'ho furnished the Mnnxhter' and lot the
world furnish the 'appiaune' it would not
draw so on his constitution.
For the purpose, as ho explained, of
showing that ho wus not wholly to blame
lor having applied the torin 'genial littlo
friend' lo the gentleman Irom New York,
llorr sent to ilie clerks desk a bound vol->
uiue of JJurper's Weekly, which the clerk
held up to tho lull view of the House,
opened at a picture which represented
Cox as the speaker of tho House, with
his feot resting 011 the back of the chair.
This action ol lion's was greeted Willi
lours of luughter, which broke outalresh
when that gontlcnian slated that the
picture had been published just alter Cox
had not boon elected Speuker. Who
over looked* at that' picture, lie said,
would uolice that the geutlemaii had
been placed with his feet ou top ot
tho Speakers ohuir, so lliut he could get
his licad over the "desk. He had . heard
that liiit friend had once stated thai hud
he been six inches taller he wo.ild have
been President. (Luugbte l '*) The Dem
ocratic party hail lalleu into the same
mistake as the gentleman iu giving heed
to muscle instead ot braiuß. 11 tho geu
tlemau trout Now York bad three nich
es and a lot ot votes more he might have
been speaker of the House, lie wished
lo say in conclusion that whatever ho
might horealter say in debate he bogged
the gentleman froiD Now York to under
stand that lie had no malice or htu'duess
ot heart ugaiust him. That gentleman
had been kind enough to give him au
epitaph. He [Hon] was not a poet, but
a friend had written for him au epitaph'
upon the gentleman Irom New York,
which lie thought just covered the case:
"Beneotu'tlilH slab lies tbe great Sam Cox,
Who was wise as an owl and brave as au ox|
Think it uot etrange Ills tuining to dust,
For lie >iwellel, aud lie^jßwelled till lie finally
