A STORY BY E. C.
ClIAl'TKU-VU.
"TUB MKKTI.NII OF TIIK WATEHH."
When Margaret ao uiKrrcmuniuusly left
lavid al'lcr hi fatal iiulion, flie did not,
alter the iiianiu'r of luTmnvs, "throw hor-
stlf down in a f assion of tiars;" but, not
being a heroine, sho itood still for 6vc
minutes in the middle of her room, too
angry to be eonseiuua of anytbii!' but
wrath.
If I bad been a man I would have
knoeked him down," olie iid at last aloud.
I wi.-h I could have done it," this small
Woman added mvajjcly, with that swift
desire to inflict diyical punishineut which
r buns to women, us well as to men.
Nur was she conscious of tho inconsist'ncy
of her exclamation, foruettini; utterly, that,
had she been a man, the "insult" would
have boca impossible! f"r insulted .Marga
ret faucied licrs:ll' to be; and as the
thought of the remark came to her with
renewed force she turned suddenly, to give
vent to her renewed anger in quick move
ment. As sho turned her eye fell tjp..n a
picture which hung over her bed. It wis
not a picture of merit, not a work of art
in any way; but the artist bad striven to
flive to the bowed figure a teuder dignity.
The gentle eyes looked out upon Margaret,
as she stood there 6 rcc with passion; and
in them was a look, patient yet pained,
if the weight of a world was on the cross-
laden shoulders, as if tho sorrows and sins
of the human race were woven in with
the thorns that pierced the suffering brow
And catching sight of this fa. e. so mild, so
meieilul, so troubled yet so calm, .Marga
ret felt a sharp pang for her own turbu
lence and unger.
"All ! my dear ?avior, sho cidiimed,
as she threw herself on her knees bofoio
the picture, "ti'ich mo to be uicek and
humble, because Thou wast so!" then
after 1 pause, she buried her glowing face
in hei hands, and whispered, ' Teach me
to know myself."
And thus begging from the all coinpre
bending, all loving Heart of Jesus, grace
ami light to know her own, the young girl
for the fiist time in mouths, gaiued the
courage to look resolutely into the depths
of her own heart and see what record was
written there. id she love Hey wood
Moutfort ? she asked herself, and there
iloiie she knew not what to answer.
Would she uiarry hiui 1 slid quctfioucd
and at the thought a shuil I r p i-sil over
her and through her, which if she had
had any experience, would have convinced
Margaret that tho feeliug she had for this
handsome villago beau was not real love,
ivy more than Will o' the Wisp U real
fire. But Will o' tho Wisp has led men
into quagmires before now, it is said; and
an attraction such as Margaret acknowl
edged to herself that she felt for Hey-
wood, ha led miny Woman in marshes
of sorrow, from which a life-lime has been
too short to citricatc her. Kneeling there
and begging for guidance, questioning
closely ber life for the past lew months,
Margaret was frightened to sue how Hey

her every thought; bow hii sweet speoehas

how she har' gr wn, unconsciously, to look
at the worl in some measure from hii

were questions and meditations calculated
to make a young woman forget ill thing!
else; ind it wu ouly when she heard the
dick of the front gate that she remember
ed that David might har been standing
on the steps during the past hour, waiting
for her return. She rose and went to the
window, and it wu still light enough for
her to notice the alow, sad stops ao differ
ent from David's usual brisk and buoyant
one. And the whole dejected look of the
ana made the woman relent
"Perhaps he did not mean to hurt me,"
she thought, with all impulse towards for
giveness. "Perhaps he thinks I ley wood
is courting; me," she exclaimed at length,
her softened mood showing her David's
speech in n uew and more reasonable
light.
Hut, whatever were the motives or
opinions which prompted the speech, Da
vid had by it given Margaret a wound
whiih though it might havu been like one
made by the kind cutting of the surgeou's
knife, yet turned iiml smarted too much
for her to be willing to sou hiui who gave
it. And so it happened that, anxious as
David was for an opportunity to pleml his
case, he had none lor more than a week
after the olt'euse had hem committed. Op
portunities come, however, after a time to
him ulio is on the alert to liud them, and
aoitf" them; and David's came one after
noon, when ho saw n flutter of a gray
s'.irt ns a small woman turned into the
lane (rom l'airl'ax to the llamiltmis'. He
noticed, as he too turned into tho lane,
that the wearer of the gray diess quick
ened her stops; but a few of David's long
strides brought him near enough fur him
to say :
"Miss Margaret, please let me say uno
word to you."
"I think I bad rather you wouldn't,"
Miss Margaret answered as he overtook
her and they walked on together to the
stile.
'Hut I musl," David declared, taking
his stand in a determined way, so as to
keep her from crossing the stile, "I can
not let you leave me without begging your
forgiveness. I was rude, perhaps, and my
wolds may have sounded rough to you ;
but indeed, indeed Miss Margaret I meant
no harm."
"I have thought since that you did not,
it has occurred to me," she said hesitant
ly, while tho warm color suffused her face,
"t hat you may hnvo thought that
Mr. Montfort was in love with inc."
David's eyes opened wide at this low-
voiced, hesitant speech. "Of course I
did !" ho exclaimed. Then, as her con
struction of his words flashed upon line
his deep reverence fur her as the most
ilclicatc uiiuded of women showed him
how they must have affected her.
"Oh ! my poor darling," David whisper
ed to himself ns the. realization of the pain
he must have given her caused a wave of
remorseful sorrow to sweep over him and
bis voice shook perceptibly when be Baid
aloud :
"Is it possible you could havu fancied
that I meant to intimate that yn, of all
women, had given your heart unasked ?
How can you ever forgive me? How can
I ever forgive myself?
The sH'0ch, along with the manner of
the speaker, so fully explained anil atoued
for another speech of his, that there fled
from Margaret's mind the last trace of
resentment; and she held out her hand to
him, saying :
"Well, we are friends again now."
It was a Wonderful pretty hand to
swear friendship with, white and small
and soft, a typical femiuinc baud; and, as
David took it in his stroiig brown one,
desire, almost overwhelming, cuuic to him
to lift it to bis lips and there imprint
upon it the seal of a feeliug warmer than
friendship.
But there was a shy dignity ubout Mar
garet which forbade such advances as this,
so loyal David jinly thisped the little while
K'aceUesseuger aljsely, and said earnest
ly: "You are tho sweetest Woman in the
world and to think I hurt you sof as
uiiother remorseful pang shot through
him.
"Supise we stop thinking of it," Mar
garet said, dropping readily into the role
of consoler, "it may have done us both
good it has certainly not done much
harm, since it is so easily set right. But
you will let me go home, wont you?" she
asked smiling, ns he still barred the way.
"Will you let me come to sec you Sun
day ?" he detained her to ask, "I am i
working man and have no other time."
There was a curious blending of pridi
and regret in his voice that ponsibly still
further sofu-ned Margaret's toue as she an
swered :
"Yes, come Sunday and we will go to
walk toiiellier. I will show you a new
scene on Quankey. And now, I must say
good-bye 'till then."
He helped her over the stile, and stisjd
still, and watched her go down the nairow
path, making no motioii to go with her,
because, somehow, he could uot bear even
her dear presence in this solemn hour of
regretful, grateful, almost adoring feeling
which hefr sin-el fMfW,-ssi. au I'wuk aad
ao full, mid brought to him, 'who loved
her as a man loves but onoe, and not ill
men once iu i life-time.
How the young fellow counted the days
'till Sunday 1 and how when it came the
sun did shine, and the whole glsd world
seemed sharing in his glad contrast of this
day with the two past Sunday! 1 David
had learned caution and he did not fancy
Margaret lovod him.
"How could she?" he asked himself,
with the humility ofleo found in strong
natures; and the cleat comprehension of
his own poverty and lack of position which
his very love for Margaret rendered still
dearer to him. He had no intention of
telling her of hif love for a long, long
time yet, however. Ho meant to wait
and work; and, nfter awhile, when ho hail
won a place worthy to offer her, ho would
ask her to take him, and share his life.
These were David's intentions as ho walk
ed briskly up to Mr. Hamilton's door that
fair summer Sunday afternoon, what Da
vid's deeds were, remains to be told with
this ono excuse hero offered for him : lie
was not the first man who has intended
to do one thing and done another, to
prove which, let us each call our past ac
tions as witnesses,
Margaret took up'iii herself the office
of guide iu their walk and led the way
through a grocn yard and leafy apple
orchard into a stretch of pint.1 woods.
"1 am taking you," she said, "to a spot
on Quankey, which, despite Tom Moore's
assertions, an Iriihman told me, once,
eiilaled tile meeting of the waters ill the
Yule of Avocn."
"That is a hard thing to make an Irish
man believe," David said, smiling, "hut
I have studied Quankey for two months
now, and am ready to yield full credence
as well as bear testimony to anything said
in its praise. What a long winding stream
it is, a puzzling one for a factory man, I
assure you," referring to bis work uncon
sciously, because, like most good and ear
nest workers, the thought of it went? about
with him always.
The Indians in their wanderings had
doubtless noticed the length and winding
of the stream even more closely than
David had in his surveying; uud, with
their turn for true names, had culled it
(Quankey, a word, which, in our less musi
cal tongue means Long Water.
On this Sunday when Margaret and
David descended the high hills covered
with pines and poplars and beeches, (juati
key ran as merrily and mado a scene as
fair as if it were still a young thing, in
stead of having received its name centu
ries before, from red-skinucd warriors
whose place the earth knows no more.
Near the point where David and Mar
garet stood on the fern-fringed banks the
strcutu divided, and met and divided, und
met and divided once more, making three
small islands, and when it met around the
last, receiving into its bosom auothcr
branch of itself, which, (after an oxcur"
sion of its own through "brumbly wilder
nesses,") ono could here seo hurrying on, a
thread of silver, through a mass of green
mosses, to joiu the parent stream; and the
two currents meeting gladly mado ripples
and tiny waves of flaky foam, and then uni
ted to flow peacefully iuto the Bounoke, a
mile further down. The little islands
about which Quankey danced so gaily,
were coverud in bronze mosses and fringed
with ferns here, or water lilies there. A
tall tree or two rose from them, now and
then, covered with the luxuriant growth
of tho wild Seuppcrnong vines which here
are ou their native soil; and away up
bidden in the grape-vines, u bud sang out
clear and Bwect, to bo answered by some
other feathered songster, from sonic neigh
boring tree. A canoe was anchored near
them, and Margaret nud David got into it
und sat down. David, with his athletic
instinct, picking up the paddle nt once
while Margaret idly trailed the long fern
she held in the brown water.
They both sat silent for sometime,
drinking in the beauty aud the stillness,
until Margaret looking up said, with the
assurance of his earnest asseut :
"Now, isn't it beautiful ?"
"Yes," David unswercd but so absently
that be at once became conscious of the
look of disgusted disappointment, on his
companion's face.
"To tell you the truth," ho said laugh
ing, "I wasn't thinking of the scenery at
all, I'm afraid."
"What were you thinking of, the fac
tory ?" she asked severely, having a sus
picion in her disgust, that the factory was
all he was capable of thinking about
"No," he said wincing a little at her
toue and question, but retaining his good
humor, "1 was first saying over to myself
Tom Moorc'i 'meeting of the waters,'
which, you will admit, was fit and appro
priate but the Hues somehow," said David
while a flush, almost like a gill's rose
hu brown cheek; "led me to think ol my
sweetheart, ind she mado do forgot ovcry
thing else."
Margaret drew her hand from the water
at this, and looked at David surprised.
She had never before heard him mention
his sweetheart, and she had, indeed, never
thought of the probability of his having
one. It is true that when ho list came
she had imsuinisl he might like Judith
slid, since that day at the stile, a vague
suspicion had crossed her mind thst he
utillti grow fuuu wt urowii. , Aut Dow he
acknowledged he loved 1 woman, and as
he said it such a teuder reverence came
into bis eyes and lingered in his voice, as
if be wi iu speaking of a aacnsl thing,
that Margaiet determined his love might
be pleasant and goo tiling for the
woman. Margaret waa nothing, if not
sympathetic and she said softly :
"Of your aweetheart ? Tell me about
her."
"1 don't know how," David answered.
"I never have told anybody."
" Hut tp-1 er n tmt me can't yon T"
"Trust yctif he said warmly, "why
who could help trusting yon, Mia Marga
ret r , , ,
Such warm belief in her rJeaacd Mar-
aret wonderfully; aud her voice was still
inure inviting to confidence, as she said
encouragingly :
"Well, now, you begin to trust me."
"Hut how nm I to begin?" David
asked, conscious that he was lilaving with
dged tools, yet unable to resist the temp
tation to talk of his love to his Love,
though she should be unconscious of it.
Suppose you begin by telling me how
she looks. Is she pretty ?"
"Sho is wt:rl" llavid said, us he tested
his chin on his two hands, which ho hud
crossed on the paddle, und looked ut Mur
garet. "She has eyes like that brown
pisi! of water, there where the sunbeam is
playing, Sometimes they are laughing
uml bright, sometimes liny are quiet and
deep, but her pure soul looks out at you
through them always ; for my sweetheart
is so pure and sweet, that I think when
I'm with her, her beautiful soul makes mc
forget whether she has beauty of face or
not. But yes, she is pretty too, a wee bit
of a woman, so little that I could lilt ber
as I would a child; and. yet, do you know ?
I'm a trifle afraid of her?'1
"Yon are morn than n trifle in love
with her," Margaiet Baid smiling at bis
earnestness. "I suppose she loves you
very much too."
"I'o you, why?" asked David cargerly,
while the light in his eyes made Margaret
lower her own, though she was still un
conscious of how the voting man was hang-
5 on ber answer.
"Doesn't the old proverb say 'lovu be
gets love ?' " she answered, as she once
more commenced trailing the fern iu the
stream, "and if that is so," she continued,
looking up and smiling, "it seems to mc
you nrc in a fuir way to be loved."
"I wish I thought so," be said sadly.
for her entire unconsciousness made eveu
untutored David nngur ill fur himself.
"But I nm willing to wait. I know 1
love her and will love her as long ns I
live. Don't smile," (he said, as he caught
an incredulous expression on Margaret's
face, which sho had assumed to display
her superior knowledge of men probably.)
"I know men often talk like that. Hut
you cannot understand what this feeling
has been to me. I have had a haul life
since my mother died; uud this precious
love has come to me like another mother,
and more, it makes me strong when I
am tired, it cheers me when I urn sad, it
goes with me in my woik, until sometimes
think there will not be a plunk iu the
factory which will not have ymir name
written on it for me."
This abrupt transition, unintentional us
it ovidently was, from the indefinite her to
the definite yo"' made both Margaret and
David stun, and Margaret's face grew red,
then ghastly white uud she sat still, as if
turned to stone.
"There! " David exclaimed. "I did not
mean to tell you ; but you must have
known it. You must have seen that I
was talking about you, for you aie my
sweetheart, my first, and last and only
sweetheart. Have 1 made you angry?
he questioned, anxiously, Beeing that she
still suit motionless.
'You have made me very sorry," she
answered, and he saw the tears standing
iu her brown eyes.
"Don't be sorry for nie," David said.
Be ylnl for me Miss Margaret, for 1 am
glad to have known you ami to love you
even though you never care for me
I am willing to wait, for how could you
love mo, yet ? lam a poor man, with
uolhiiiif to offer you. You who have all
your life been used to comfort aud luxury
I would not drag you down my Darling,"
( be half whispered (he epithet.) "but I
will go up. Ami all 1 ask you to do now
is to say there is a hope of your louhg m
some day."
Margaret bad had men to court he
liefore, and bad discarded them with but
a passing regret for their pain. Heywissl
bad made tender ssss-hes to lu-r, and she
bad blushed and trembled under bis
glance, or at his voice; but, with hcrquick
insight, arising from her quick syuqialhic.
she saw that the love this man was offer
ing was different from all these. She
believed David to be right when ho said
ho would love her for all bis life to eouie ,
and tho virgin heart of thu girl which
had been funned into scuii-wnkcfuliicNi by
a passing fasiuation, now awoke for the
first liioo, to understand thul there is a
lovu strong enough to tiakc the current on
which two lives are borne through Time
and into Eternity. She knew clearly that
this deep abiding devotion had nut coine
to her for David, consciousness uf her own
nihn feeling of friendship for him only
made her feel more deeply the hope iess
BsH of lbs lnv which ahone in ike Uue
eyes that David bent iqsiti her as ho sal
Waiting breathlessly for what she would
say next. She did uot iqsiik for several
miuutos and when she did she fm and
said wearily:
"Come Mr. Cahal and let us go home."
It wan David's turn to grow pale now.
He had told himself he did not exoct her
to love him; but now the rcalixation of
what life would be without her love, forced
itself upon him. The vision of king, des
olate, dreary years passed before him; and
the consciousness of his groat physical
etrcng'.h, of his porer of living, oppressed
him ritlt keeu agony.
"Is trtt all yon cnu say to rac?" he
asked aa ha took her hand to help her out
of tne canoe.
"Why should you ask uie to say any
thing?" she exclaimed, "Why should I
have to pain you so ?" mid the girl's voice
shook und her face grew white with the
pain of giving puiu.
Seeing her distress David put his own
leep sorrow out of sight, the instinct to
diielil her growing strong upon him, ninl
he said, ns he helped her up the steep hill
lown which they had both talked so
merrily, an hour before:
' Don't let llir give ynH pailll eunliol
stand that. It is not so bud," he suid
striving to speak brightly that he might
brighten her, "since you at least love no
one else."
Margaret's face flushed crimson ut this
and she steadied herself us if needing
strength ngainst the trunk of u small las'i-h
tree.
"I only urn sure of this," she said, "that
I do not love you," while tho tears that
hud gathered lajforc now streamed down
her cheeks.
"I know that," David answered sadly
and simply. And the two walked, in si
lence to her home. When he took leave
of her he turned ufter lie bad walked a
few steps and coming back said to her :
"You will never doubt my wish to serve
you, .Hiss .Margaret I
"No," she said earncslly, "I never will.
Whatever comes, Mr. Cabal, o nVi'.T of
us, I will nltcws liriifve in ioh"
How faithfully she kept that promise
David ill the years that cumc, ever remem
bered gratefully.

Work is your true remedy. If mis

you don't want to lie awake and think
about them. Yuu want to sleep calm,
sound sleep and to eat your dinner with
appetite. But you can't unless you work.
If you say you don't like work, yuu go
loafing all day to tell Dick and Harry the
story of your woes; you'll lie awake and
keep your wife awake by your tossing,
spoil your temper and your breakfast the
next morning, and begin to-morrow
feeling ten times worse than you do to

lure in N. l on Not Bush in Granville
county. In 1SH7 Cephus Daniel, living
near Williamsboro, adjoining tho lands of
Madison Hawkins, Billy Gilliam and
Hlsdy Henderson, was u drunken sot uf
the worse type owning the first double
barrell shot gun I ever saw. He would
go to Chalk-level, now "Henderson" or
Williamsboro uud get drunk, conic home
take his "two barrel" gun and shisit every
thing promiscoiisly, horses, servants, fowls
and even his wife and daughter if they
dared to show themselves, run everything
from home until be sobered dowu. This
sort of thing got to be so common and so
dangerous, the neighbors could not stand
it. So a half dou'n of I hem uiel and de
cided to give him a decent whipping with
hickory switclu'S well laid on, and as there
might not be any clew as to who the pur-
tics were, tney urcsecd themselves up tu
women s clothes and culled each other
Mniu one, two, three and so on. Thus
organised aud equipped they waylaid
Cephus returning from Williamsboro one
night not far from his own house, where
they took him from his horse and pro
ceeded with the castigation, all the while
muting him swear that he would never
again shoot or maltreat bis family any
fiiwiu, auim toe .uooy kept up pretty
severely, each saying to the other now it
is your turn Molly give him some on
that side Molly five; Mollio six dress him
up for home, he is pretty sober now, and
if be ever docs so any more wi will burn
him.
in later uays tney nave added Ma-
guire, from a she Boetamento in Penn
sylvania that lead several atrikoi in the
iron ind coal fields of that State.
It i needless to say it made i reformed
drunkard of him, he would however, get
drunk afterwards, but he never did any
more shooting or bcat'og.
"Ttrae is money," u fie ran renarV.ed
when he paid tho piwnbrokci the annual
interest on hut watch.
WHY HE REFORMED.
Arksimsw Traveller.
There wus a dunkurd in un Arkansas
town who became a sober nuin through a
kind Providence grunting him what Burns
longi r for :
' o, win) Mimic siwcr the ginie itlc un.
To mci) miner, ul ItlH-rs sec UN !"
One day several ucqmiintiinees, on ask
ing him to drink, were surprised to lietir
hiui say, ' You must excuse uie, gentle
men, for 1 isn't drink unylhiiig." To
their question, "VYIiut is the mutter with
you ?" he said :
"I'll tell you. The other day I met
parly of friends, When I left them I
was about half drunk. I would not have
stopped at this, but In)' fiii Ill's bud to
hurry away to catch u train.
"To n imiii of loy ti n 1 1 lain, nl, to be
half drunk is n miserable condition, for
the desire lor more is so strong that he
forgets his self-restraint in his efforts to
get more to drink.
"Failing at the saloons, I remembered
that there was a half pint of whiskey at
home, which hud been pucbascd for med
icinal purposes,
"Just before reaching the gate I heard
voices in the garden, und looking over the
fence, I saw my little sou and daughter
playing. 'Now, you be ma,1 said the boy,
'and I'll bo pa. Now you sit here an'
I'll come home drunk. Wait, now, till I
find my bottle."
"He took a bottle, und run away and
filled it with water. Pretty soon he re
turned, und, entering the playhouse, nod
ded idiotically ut the little girl, aud sat
down without sayiug anything. Then the
girl looked up from her work and said :
" 'James, why will you do this way ?"
" ' Whizzcr way ?' he replied.
" 'Getting drunk.'
'"Who's drunk?'
" 'You are; an' you promised when the
baby died that you wouldn't drink any
more. The children aro almost ragged,
an' we haven't anything to eat hardly,
but you still throw your money away.
Don't you know you are breaking my
heart ?'
" hurried away. The acting was too
life-like. I could think of nothing all
day but those children playing in the
garden, and I vowed that I Would not
take another drink, and I will not."
TO BREAK. OFF B.lU HABITS.
Cuderstand the reasons, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious.
Stiiilv the subject until there is no
doubt in your mind.
Avoid the persons, tho places and
thoughts of the temptation.
Frequent the places, associate with
the persons and indulge thought that
lead away from the temptation.
Keep busy; idleness is the strength of
bad habits.
Do not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once, twice
or thrice a thousand times. It only
shows how much need there is for you to
strive.
When you have broken your resolu
tion, just think the matter over, and en
deavor to understand why you filled, so
that you may be ou your guard igainst a
recurrence of the same circumstances.
Do not think it an easy thing which
you have undertaken. It is folly to ex
peet to break off a bud habit in a day
that has been gathering for a year.
MORSELS FORSl'NOAY CON
TEMPLATION.

when wc yield ourselves up to His provi

Live near lo God, and so all things will

lle who comes up to his own idea of
great new, must always have a very low
standard of it in his time.
Though God may seem to frown in
His providence, yet he always smiles in
His promises.
Give what you have. To some tt may
be better than you dure think.
