From tlie New York Ledger.
TIIELOYEII’SCAPTfVITY
‘ ’£he eld clod: in the kitehen had
jpat struek nine.
It Was no gilded toy*, no trifle of
bronze, or alabaster, but a tall, square
solid relic of the olden, time, looking
not unlike a coffin case set on end, in
tlie corner —a clock that bad lasted
through one generation, and to judge
from all appearances, was quite likely
to last through another. Dcacpn
Merritt cherished' that old time-piece
wish a sort of pride which he himself
would scarcely have confessed to.
i here was a groat, ruddy fire of
chestnut logs iu the wide, red brick
paved lire place, tmd the Candles in the
polished brass sticks were winking
merrily from the high woodon mantle,
where they shared the post of honor
with a brooked sea-shell and a plaster
basket of improbably colored fruit.—
At the windows a curtain of gaudy
chintz shut out the million stars of the
frosty autuftinal night, and on the cosy
rug of parti-colored rags a fat turtoise
shell eat purred away the slowly-lapsing
minutes.
But the turtoise shell cat was uot the
only inhabitant of the snug farm-house
kitchen.
“John,’’ said Mehitabel Merritt,
decidedly, “if you don't behave yottf
self, I’ll—”
What she would do, Hetty Merritt;
did not say—the sentence was
terminated by a laugh that set dimples
•round her mouth in motion, just as a
beam of June sunshine plays-athwart a
cluster of red-ripe cherries.
Hetty Merritt was just seventeen—
a plump, rosy girl with jet black hair
brushed back from a low’ forehead, and
perfectly arched eyebrows that gave a
bewitching expression of surptige to a
pair of. melting hazel ey'cs. She was
rather dark, but the severest critic
would hardly have found fault with the
peat h-like bloom upon her cheeks, and
the dewy red other full daint.lycurved
lips.
Evidently Mr. John Aylmer was
quite satisfied with Hetty’s peculiar
st yle of beauty.
“Come Hetty,”.’ said John, moving
his chair where he could best watch the
flii'h of the tire light upon her face, and
picking up the thread of conversation
where he had dropped it, when it be
came necessary for Hetty to bid him
“b.cbave himself,” ,“yt>u might promise.
It’fjjfine o’clock mid your father will
soon be home.”
“Promise what, John?” said Hetty,
demurely, fitting -a square of Turkey
red patch work to a white square, and in
tently observing the effect.
“Nonsense, Hetty! You know what,
very well. Promise to marry me before
Christmas ! 1 'ell you what, Hetty, it
is all very well for you to keep putting
a f. How off, but 1 can’t stand it, what
with your father’s forbidiug me the
house, and Caleb Truman’s coming
here every Sunday night ”
Ilctty gave her pretty head a toss.
■ As if Caleb Truman’s coming here
made anv difference in my feelings,
John !”
“No. but, Hetty, it isft’f pleasant,
you know I’m as good a man as Caleb
■ Truman, if 1 don’t own railroad shares,
and keep’ au account at the Brigham
Bank, and I love,you Hetty, from the
ver; bottom of my heart I Hotly, tlvif*
matter Ties between you and me .only—
no other person in the world has a
right to interfere between us. Come
promise me.”
He held both her hands in his and
locked earnestly iiito flic liquid brown
eyes.
*“!>o you love me, Hetty
“You know l.love you, John.”
“Then we mity just us well— Hush !
whJlt’s that?”
There was a portentous sound of
drawing bolts and rattling latches in
the poreh-ryom beyond—-a stamp of
nailed boots shaking off the duat of
country roads. Hetty rose to her feet
with sudden ftbaflct suffusing brow and
cheeks. ■
“Oh, John, it’s father.”
“Suppose it is.” w
“But he mustn't find you here, John,!
Hide yourself somewhere, do!’*
••What nonsense, Hetty!” said the
yoang ir.M, resolutely standing his
ground. “I haven’t pome to steal spoons
why should I stpal away like a dc
toetga burglar ?”.
“For my sake, John Ok, John, if
you have ever loved me, do as I say.—
Nt in that closet—it is close to his
bedroom , not through that window, it
is nailed down tight. He’s coming!
He's coming ! Here, John, quick
And, in the drawing 66 a breath she
had pushed John Aylmer into the
square pendulum case of the tall old
clock, and had turned the key upon him.
It Was not a very pleasant place of
refugepinasrquch as his shoulders w-erq. t
squeezed on cither side, a.id bit head
flattened, against springs and wheels
above, and the. air was unpleasantly
close ; hilt honest John made the best
of matters, and shook with suppressed
laughter in solitary prison-cell.
“How! *a jolly scrape to be in”
thought John;“arid nd knowing when
I’ll be out of jt I Hetty’s a shrewd
little puss, however, and I can’t do
better than leave matters in her
hands.”
“So you haven’t gone to bed,
Hetty ?” Said Deacon Merritt, slowly
unwinding the two yards of wollen com
forter tin which he generally encased his
throat of an evening.
“Not yet, father,” said Hetty, pick
ing up her scattered bits of patchwork
with a glowing cheek. “Did you have
a pleasant meeting”?
■ “Well, yeg, quoth the deacon defloo
tively, sitting down before the fire,
greatly to Hetty’s consternation (she
had hoped he would have gone peacea
bly to bed according to his usual
custom) “it was tol’bly pleasant. Elder
Jones was there, and Elder Backstreteh
er, and—well all the church f?lks,
pretty much. Why, how red your
cheeks are, Hetty ! Tired, aint, yon !
Well, you needn’t set up for me,, my
dear j it must be getting late.”
The deacon glanced mechanically
round at the clock. Hetty felt the
blood grow cold in her veins.
“Twenty minutes past nine—why it
must be later than that. Why, land o’
Goshen ! the old clock’s stopped 1”
The old clock had stopped ; nor was
it wonderful, considering all the cir
cumstances.
“I wound it up this morniti’, I’m
■sartain,” said the deacon perturbedly.
.‘Gt, never sarvod me such a trick before,
all the years it’s stood there. Your
Aunt Kc'ziah used to say that whenever
that clock stopped it was a sign of a
death or marriage in the family before
the year was out.”
There was a suppressed sound like a
chuckle behind the. clock-case as Deacon
Merritt fumbled on the shelf for the
dock-key.
“These springs must be out of order
somehow,” said the deacon decisively.
“How scared you look, child ! There
hint no cause for bein’ scared. 1 don’t
put no faith in your Aunt Kcziali’s old
time superstition. Where in the
name of all possessed, /.< that key ? I
could ha’ declared I left it in the ease.”
“Isn’t it off the shelf) liithcr ?” asked
Hetty, guiltily, conscious that it was
snugly reposing in the pocket of her
checked gingham dress.
“No, nor ’taint on the set-off
neither.”
And down went the deacon stiffly
enough On his knees, to examine the
floor, lest perchance the missing key
might have dipped off and fallen there.
“Well, I never kuowed anything so
Strange,” said the deacon.
“It ii strange,”, faltered hypocritical
Hetty.
“I’ll have a reg’lar sureli to-morrow,”
said Deacon Merritt. “It must be
somewhere round.”
“Yes, it must,” said Hetty,
tremulously.
“Only,” Went on the deacon, slowly
resuming his place before the cheery
blaze. “I kind o’ don’t like to have
the old clock stand still a single night.
When 1 wake up, you know, it seems
like it was sort of talkin’ to me in the
stillness.”-
The deacon looked thoughtfully at
the fiery back-log. Hetty flgetted un
easily about, the room, straightening
table-covers and setting back chairs—
oh, if he would only go to bed.
As he sat there, his eyelids began to
droop, and his bead to nod, somnolently.
Hetty’s eyes lighted up with a sparke
;of something like hope.
“Child,” he suddenly said, straight
cuing himself up in the stiff-back chair,
“you’d better go to bud. I’ll sit up a
while longey, till tffc .logs hurn out.”
“But father, I’m not sleepy.”*
“Go to bed, my child,” reiterated the
•deacon, with good-humored authority
that brooked no opposition, and Hetty
crept out of the room, ready to cry with
anxiety and mortification.
“If John will only keep quiet a little
while longer,” she thought, .sitting ou
the stairs where the autumn moonlight!
streamed, in chilly splendor. “Father
sleeps so soundly—and he is stfre to go
to sleep iu his chair. 1 could just steal
in and release him, as easy as possible.”
She sat there, her plump fingers in
terlaced and her oyos fixed dreamily on
the floor, while all the time her ears
were strained to their utmost capacity
to catch every sound in the kitchen
heyoad.
• Hark! was that the wail of the.
wind, or was it something to her lite
Tally “nearer and dearer?” Yes,she
l» could not be wiatakon mnv, it was
. actually a snore!
Hetty rose softly to her feet with
renewed hope. Surely now was the
accepted time.
Noiselessly as a floating shadow she
crossed the hall, opened the kitchen
door, and stole across the creaking
boards of the floor. The shifting lus
tre of the fire-light revealed to her
Deacon Merrit, nodding hyfore the
tire, with closed* hands hftng
hig at his sides.
“He is cerlawdy asleep.’’.-thought
Hetty.
With a heart Jhat beat quick and
fast, like the strokes of a urirtiatnre
hamnarj’she drew the key from her
dress pocket and proceeded, bpibe of
thq nervous trembling of her lingers,
to fit it into the lock. So absorbed
waa she in her task, that she never
noted the suddfii cessation of the
heavy breathing—never saw the Dea
con start suddenly into wakefitlnefw
and look around tow Ards her. Ah,
Betty—love is blind, they say, ami it
is equally true that Jove.pt sometimes
ducal’.
The deacon rose quietly up, with a
shrewd twinkle in his eyes,and Hetty
.gave a little frightened shriek as. a
hand fell softly on her arny possessing
itself quietly of the key.
“Lei fife help.’ you, said Deacon.
M errit I.
“Father, I—F found thr key,” fal
tered Hetty, “and—”
“Found the key, eh,” returned the
ple-.uxm. “Well, that’s lucky—and now
yon <:m find out what’s the matter
with the old vloGk !?
Hetty’s heart, throbbing so wdtily a
moment or two ago, seemed to stand
absolutely still, as Deacon Merritt
turned the key and opened the tall
door of the clock-ease.
“HaIJo!” ejaculated Deacon Mer
rjtt, as John Aylmer tumbled laugh
ingly' into the room. “So you was
the mutter with tlie old clock, eh ?”
“Yos, sir,” said Mr. Aylmer, com
posedly; “I hope I haven’t seriously
interfered with the works of the
dock !”
“ You’ve seriously interfered with
z/ie said the deacon, waxing indig
nant. “What do you mean, sir, by
hiding in my house like h thief?”
“Indeed, indeed, father!” cried
Hatty, bursting into tears, “it wasn’t
his fault! He didn’t want to hide, but
I put him there!”
“ You did, eh ! And may' I ask
what for ?”
“Father,” faltered Hetty, rather
irrelevantly, “I love him—and ho
loves me!”
“ Is that any reason he should hide
in a clock-case, Miss,?”
“No—but-—father 1 Oh, lather! 1
never can marry Caleb Truman. He
is old, ami cross, and withered, and—”
Hetty’s tears finished the Sentence
for her. Tim deacon looked down, not
unkindly, on her bowed head, and the
tender arm that supported it. Appa
rently the “course of true love,”
roughly' though it ran, was overwhelm
ing all his own worldly -wise arrange
ments in its tide.
“ And so you IWo young folks really
think you love each other?” said the
deacon, meditatively.
“I love her -with all, my heart and
soul, sir,” said John Aylmer, ear
nestly. “I’m not rich, I know, but I
can work for her.”
“And I can work lor myself, too,
father,” interposed Hetty, with eyes
that shone like softened stars.
“And you said yonrsclf) sir,” went
on Aylmer, “that the stopping of the
clock meant either a death or a mar
riage. Os course, wc don’t want any
deaths ; ijo don’t you think the most
sensible thing we can do is to help
on a marriage as soon tin possible?”
The Deacon laughed in spite of
himself.
“It’s late,” said the Deacon. “Come
round to-morrow morning, and we’ll
talk about it. ,No, Hetty, I'm not
angry' with you,child. 1 s’pose young
folks will be young folks, and there’s
no use trying to stop ’em!”
And, as the Deacon re-hung the pen-'
duhim and set the iron tongue of the
old clock talking again, John Aylmer
paused on the front doorstep to whis
per to Hetty:
“My darling! its worth passing a
life time behind the clock-case, to feci
as happy as I do now!”

SMOKING TOBACCO.
Competent critics pronounce it best for many
reasons:
It is made of the best stock grown.
The Nicotine is extracted; there are
No drugs iu it, consequently it is
Anti-nervous iu its effects.
It has an agreeable, aromatic flavor;
Does uot burn or sting the tongue
Leaves no unpleasant aftertaste iu the
Mouth, or disagreeable odor in the room.
Instead of exciting the nervous forces,
It allays irritation, and calms them.
We regard it as the perfection of
Smoking Tobacco. Orders for elegant
Meerschaum Pipes are being packed daily
In the various sized bage iu which it is sold,
As an extra inducement for those
Who love a good smoke to try it.
