XT BOT KAJSB1.
When Captain Winthrop found him
elf one of the hundred pouring oat
Of the gateway of the Central sta
tion in New York, I faucj, heitlitior
all his brave words to his wife, a little
nervous concerning the troubles he
was about to encounter, for like ail
nntraveled proviocialists, his ideas of
the metropolis were not exactly flat
tering to its in habitant
It ws mid afternoon when he ar
rived, and, first "running into dock"
at a hotel he set boldly oat far Eat
Sixty-third street. ' It was reeking
hot hotter than! the Captain, in hia
wildest dreams bad ever imagined
human beings oould endure it and
live. Along Fifth avenue it was bad
enough, but when he turned to the
right into a narrower and more crowd
ed street he had fairly to grasp for
respiration. The neighborhood was
not a pleasant one, for by degrees
the character of i the houses seemed
to deurioate until at last he reached
a region of squalid tenement dwell
ing, teeming with slatternly WDmen
and half naked children, whom the
stifling air had (driven to the door
steps. Again and again he paused,
thinking he mast have blundered, but
the inscription on the street lamps
reassured him and he plodded on.
Then things mended a little. There
was a marked improvement in the
style of houses, which were -now of
the shabby-genteel order, with win
dows decorated with cards of "Apart
ments to let," and at last he reached
No. 2051. j
A pleasant-looking, neat, middle
aged woman ws sweeping the door
step as he approached.
Does Miss rrobisham live here?
the Captain asked, mopping his brow
with a bandana handkerchief big
enough for a j acht flag.
"Yes, sir. Please come ia. And
the Captain found himself in a small,
dark sitting-room, made hideous with
aborions in wax flowers and colored
tidies after thel manner of the New
York lodging-houses.
"You'll excuse me, sir," the woman
continued, when the Captain was
seated, "but might I ask your busi
ness with Miss Frobiaham"
The Captain
stared in indignant
silence.
Oh, vou need
not be angry, sir,
don't ask you of curiosity, only I
can see that vou are from the coun
try, and I suppose you are one of the
family."
"Merely an old friend, tne Cap
tain explained.
"An old friend, eh! Then I'm glad
I took the precaution of speakin to
you. You must deal gently with her,
for she's seen ebout as mach trouble
as she can bear, and if you are going
to worry her with' any bad news or
other unpleasantness you won't see
her ac all, and! that's plump."
The Captain felt very uncomforta

mad she'd be if she: knew I'd let on
about her troubles."
"May I see her, plea-se? ' the Cap
tain asked, meekly.
"Yes, I suppose I must tell her you
are hertv: the woinan said, reluct
antly. "Wait a few miautes and I
will fetch her."
Left to himself, the Captain began
to deplore the obstinacy of wome 1 in
general and Kate Frobishain in parti
cular. Why; in the name 01 gooa
ness, couldn't she let his boy alone?
But he would bring thaa young per
son to her senses before he lt the

Winthrop.
the door opened aud
Kate Frobiaham stood before him.
Now, it is one thing for an elderly
gentleman to make bag resolutions
and another to cany oiem out wueu
he is confronted by a lovely young
woman, looking exasperating ly ceau-
tif uL and mercins nis ver neart witn
a glance of pitiful eutrea-y. Such
sad. sweet face too! What a saamo
that fortune should deal so nardiy
with her. So instead of reading her
lecture on the imparopriotygpf her
conduct, he found himself holding
ht.h tha curs hands iu his and
drawing her to him with a fatherly
kiss. I
"I was so surprised to hear you
were come, sue satu, iu uj. ovm
tones. I
"And so' tclad. my pretty say you
were glad too." "
"I think I am glad nay, I will say
I am sure I am glad, C iptiia Wi j
throp."
For an hour they talked, yet not a
wotd did the wicked Captiu say of
the objec
which had bruught him to
the city; a
id so confidential did they
become tht when she showed him
some water colors she had sketched
in the vain hope of selling them, he
bad the unblushing audacity to de
clare that be knew a picture dealer
who was aching to secure jut t such
things, offering, if the would entrust
them to him, to trausactthe business
for her which he did much to her
wonderment and satisfaction.
Then he pleaded that she must
and "show hina about a bit,"aad even
sucoHdd ia inveigling her to diae
with him at his hotel and drire in
the park with him, and altogether
conducted himself in Bdoh a repre
hensible manner, that I am sure the
reader hc lost all confidence in him;
The next day was a repetition of
the pievious one, ani the more he
saw of the charming girl the more
his heart wrmed towards her, and he
became so demonstrative in bis affec
tion that he scandalized Mrs. Wilson,
Kate's landlady, so that she felt it
her duty to warn the young lady
against the danger of the elderly gen
tleman's admiration, which brought
the fitt mile ehe bad seen iu Kate's
f tee for many a day.
By and by they became more con
fidential and she told him many of
the struggles through which she had
passed and her manner of encounter
ing them, all of which tended to mure
deeply impress him with the fact that
she was a jewel of a girl who could
hold ner own under any difficulties.
But the crisis of the .Captaia's in
consistencies came upon the third
day of his visit to New York. Bright
md early he was at Mrs Wilson's
house, for Kate had 1proiJuisd tu ac
company him on a trip U JStato Isl
and. And he sat ia the dingy
parlor waiting her artiva for Kate
was not without the feminize weak
ness of being a "wee bit behind time
in getting ready he saw a scrap of
paper lying on the floor and recog
nized at once Hatty's handwriting.
I make no apology for the indelicacy
of his action, for I am simply a his
torian, but the wicked Captain picked
it up and deliberately read it through.
It was a portion of a letter contain
ing the following:
"While I acknowledge that he is
the best father that man ever had, I
am deeply pained to add that thore
is no sign of that unreasonable ani
mosity to the name of Fobiaham
wearing away; and if, as yon say, you
will not be my wife until he of his
own free accord asks you to consent
to our union, our happiness is indeed
far off."
"Ho-ho," the Captain chuckled,
"so the yoang dog has been making
me the bugbear all this while."
And quite forgetting the young lady
who was hurrying her preparations
up-stairs, he slipped oat tt the door
and sped to the nearest telegraph
office, whence he telegraphed a mes
sage to his son in Indianapolis:
"Come at onoe to the Grand Union
Hotel, New York. Reply."
Tnen he sheepishly returned u the
lodging-house, and never so much as
hinted to the young lady the desper
ate step he had taken.
Thirty hours afterwards father and
son were clasping hands in the office
of the hotel.
"What is it dad?" the young man
asked, eagerly. "Yon cannot tell
how your telegram has upset me, tur
the least I thought was that you
might he sick, or in some scrape or
other. What m the name of con
science brought you to New York?"
"Just a little matter of business.
Harry, that's all; but I felt I couldn't
conclude it without your assistance.
In fact, there'B a person now in the
ladies' room I want yon to see
would yon mind stepping ia there?
I'll join you in a few minutes.''
If the clerk of tne notei naa
chanced to notice the portly figure
of his guest when bis sou left mm,
he would have had grave doubts of
his sanity, for it is not usual for old
gentlemen to walk about grinning
and chuckling and every now and
then slapping their thighs ia a per
feet ecstacy of nnoontrollaoie ae
light. Presently he conquered his
emotions and walked, demurely up
stairs into the ladies reoeption-
room.
" Well, Hirry, . how's business ?
Hve you and the other party come
to terms?"
Harry Winthrop seized his father s
hind. There was the same glad,
trustful look in his face the old man
had missed for many a day, and hii
heart thrilled with joy to tnink that
at last there was no bother between
him and the boy Harry.
It was a very quiet wedding, for
the Captain had insisted on its taking
place at once in New York, ais he ar
gued that it would be awkward foi
Kate to go back to the Orchard Farm
as a visitor; and you may be sure
Harry offered no obstacles to his a
rangements, though I am free to con
fess Kate made a blushing objection
to the hurried ceremony, which was
so transparently insincere that it did
not delay it an hoar.
Then the Captain sent the yourg
couple off for a week's trip to tue
seaside, and started home to tell
Martha how effectually he had btop
ped those bothersome etters.
There were grand. ! doings at the
Orchard Farm. From far and near
the guests had come by boat and car
riage; uuder the big apple trees long
lines of tables we e spread with
nnwv cloths and laden with the
choicest viands; on the lawn the vil
lage band p ayed, making up in en
ert?v what they licked' in science;
and from the flag-pole on the summer-house
yards of gsy bontiag flai-
tAtftd in the eente breeze, roroa
this day Harry Winthrop was bring

But I question if all the bright
speeches aud all the ay music wrre
half .h sweet to hit father as the
hideous screams of the steam whis
fits from the passing vessels with
which his UTother captains saluted
f heir hapDv old comrade.
And Kate, as she hangs on hi
husband's arm and razes on the fair
sceue, whispered: "The wounds are
healed at last, Harry, and for all the
long years to come there shall be in
But D iniel Winthrop's mind was
not in( nnir Anvrtt rA tn fchft clnriell
of steam-whistles. He stood withr
his hnd on hie boy's shoulder, watch
ing the gay scene aroand him, but
suddenly his gaze concentrated on
four figures grouped on the lawn t
his wife and his eon's wife, Walter
Frobiaham and Gordon Grey, and he
said:
"The dead past is burying its dead
pretty fast, boy. I did not think ' I
could be ever so grateful to God as I
am this moment to see the blue and
the gray blended in such a union.
Say, Harry, we must do something
for that fine young fellow, your broth
er-in-law a few thousands would be
a migh'y help to him to start in his
new profession. Yes, I would like
to do something for him for Kate's
sake, for the best gift yoar father
ever made J you was the chance to
bring that brave girl home as your
wife."
A glad light leaped to the young
man's face a radiant look that glad
dened the father's eye to behold
and, with a laugh-that but half con
cealed his earnestness, he replied in
the words of the greatest of all
writers:
"She is mine own;
And I as rich in having sue a a jew 1, '
As twenty seas. If all their sands were pearls,
The water nectar and the rocks pare go id."

In the first solitary hour after the
eeremony take the bridegroom and
demand a solemn vow of hin, and
give him a vow in return. Promise
one another sacredl never, even in
jest, to wrangle with each other,
whatever pretext, with whatever ex
cuse it may be. You must continu
ally and every moment see clearly into
each other's bosjm. Even when one
of you has commit ed a fault, wait
not an instant, but confess it freely.
And as you keep nothing secret
from each other, so, on the contrary,
preserve the privacy of your house,
married state, and heart, from fath
er, mother, sister, brother, aunt and
alt the world You two, with God's
help, build your own quiet .world.
Evry third or fourth one whom you
draw into it with you will form a par

Promise this to each other, lie

Your souls will grow, as it were, to-

SOMETHING THAT STAYS.
Dr Cyrus A. Bartol.;
F01 our guide in life we want
something that our passions or fan
cies cannot alter, our fingers cannot
touch; as we need not a mechanical
instrument alone, but the north star
and the sidereal time of the heavens,
to direct us on an earthly voyage.
Conscience, independent of religion,
of God's will, is not enough; all his
tory,, in every land, shows it is not
enough. It is but like a lantern on
the vess. Ts mast, casting a little light
around, but swaying and turning with
every motion of the waves, or eclipsed
by the tempest, and incapable of il
luming the whole course. The sailor
must look beyond his candle to the
steady, ever-shining pole. And
while we move in the varying light of
of our own mind, and keep that inner
indispensable lamp carefully trimmed
and burning, we must supply its de
ficiencies from the bright, high oracles
of God in Jesus Christ.

If not even one little step is plain

sometimes that is God's will for us.
At least, it never is his will that we
should take a step into the darkness.
He never hurries us. We had better
always wait than rush on when we
are not quite sure of the way. Ofte;.
in our impatience we do rasu things,
which we find after a little were not
God's "nexte thynges" for us at all.
That was Peter's mistake when he cut
off a man's ear in the garden, ana it
led t sore trouble, and humiliation a
little later. There are many quick,
impulsive people who are continually
doing "next wings" wrong, and who
then find their next thing trying to
undo the last. We must always wait
for God, and never take a step which
he has not made light for us,
A PROBLEM.
Rev. T. Campbell Finlayson.,
It is one of the problems of life
how to preserve the earlier spirit of
trust and hope amid the knowledge
and wisdom born of maturer expe
rience. And it is because this pro
blemistoo hard for many tht they
begin in middle life to degener te in
character Thev leave behind them
the generous impulses, the energizing
hopes, and the resolute courage of
youth. They cease to exercise their
imagination in the practical conduct
of life. They lose sight of the ideal
and character in action.- They set
tle down into a humdrum, prosaic,
and even worldly habit of mind.
Hence it is that men who have
pas-ed safely ihrough the temptations
of youth, having been borne over
them on the high tide of generous
emotion, sometimes fail and tall in
