the mystic hope.
TOat fa this mystic, wondrous hope In me.
That when no star from out the darkness bora
Gives promise of the coming of the morn;
When all life soems a pathless mystery
Ihroueh » hich tear blinded eyes no way can see;
When illoms comes, and life grows most forlorn.
Still (lares to laugh the last dread threat to
scorn.
And proudly cries. Death is not, shall not bet
I wonder at myself 1 Tell me, O Death,
If that thou rul'st the earth; if “dust to dost"
Shall be the end of love and hope and strife,
VTom what rare land is blown this living breath
That shapes itself to whispers of strong trust,
And tells the lie—if 'tis a lie—of life?
—Minot J. Savage.
MY AUNTS HOUSE.
We were very well off until our aunt,
who wanted to do us an ill turn, died,
and left us her house. Of course we
were very pleased at first. It was a
pretty, rambling place, with a low
veranda quite covered with ivy and
roses, and an old fashioned garden, with
trim straight borders and neatly kept
gravel paths.
There were three of us—Matthew.
Jane and 1. .Matthew was a clerk in a
bank when tie was younger, but as our fa
ther had left us each a little sum of money
when he died we persuaded Matthew
to leave his work, for he had never been
strong, and now that he was getting
elderly we could not bear to see him
coming back pale and tired from his desk
in the evening. We were very happy
together. We had a nice garden to our
house, where Matthew spent most of his
time, and though we lived in a small
way it never occurred to us to wish for
more. But now that this unexpected
stroke of good fortune had befallen us
we began to consult what we should da.
“I think we had better live in the
house ourselves,” said Jane. “Tenants
are always a trouble, and it would be so
nice to have that pretty place.”
Jane is quite young—hardly more
than 40—and it is necessary to check her
when she is too forward in giving her
opinion; but Matthew is always very
lenient with her, and he said at once,
“Yes, the garden would be very pleas
ant in the summer, and we should have
no rent to pay.”
I always have to think for them both,
and I spoke up decidedly; “There could
not be a more foolish idea. Live in it*
indeed! What should we want with a
great place like that for dust and mice
to run riot in? We must let it of course,
and the rent will make a nice little ad
dition to our income!”
I a:n the eldest, and—I say it without
pride—I have more common sense than
both the others put together; therefore
they generally fall in with my opinion,
even though they may not altogether
agree with me.
“Let us go and look at it,” said Mat
thew, "and then we can decide what to
do for the best. ”
My aunt's house stands about three
miles out of the town, in a pleasant lit
tle hamlet; a branch line runs ont past
it, so that it would be a most convenient
place for a gentleman c.f business.
It certainly looked very pretty on that
summer afternoon, and 1 could almost
echo Jane's wish that we should make it
our home, but I knew better than to in
dulge such thoughts, and turned my
mind to practical considerations. “Let
us go over it,” I said, “and see what re
pairs it will want.”
“There is something wrong with the
water pipes evidently,” said Matthew,
as he pointed to a large pool in the mid
dle of the kitchen floor.
“Yes, they must be thoroughly looked
to, of course, and 1 think the whole
place must be painted and papered; it
will never let while it looks so dingy as
it does now.”
“I must say the rooms are very small,”
said Jane. “Don't, you think while the
workmen are here they might knock
down the partition and make a nice
drawing room.”
1 generally snub Jane at once; it an
swers best in the end; but this remark
had so much to justify it that I could
not but listen to her, and Matthew took
up the idea eagerly.
“Well done. Jane!” he said. “That
would be a grand improvement; but if
we throw that piece of the passage into
the drawing room how shall we get
round to the dining room?”
“We must make another passage,” said
Jane decisively.
“Yes. but we cannot make a passage
without a place to make it in.”
I had been silent so long only because
I had been revolving something in my
mind. “Listen to me a moment,” 1 said.
“We will carry out your idea. Jane, but
with an addition. We will throw the
passage into the drawing room and run
up an outside corridor, with Frenelt win
dows opening into the sitting rooms.”
“Capital!" they both exclaimed at
once, and the matter was settled.
We agreed not to employ an architect,
but to engage a working builder to car
ry out the plan under our own direc
tions. It was a much pleasanter way of
doing it; there was no estimate to
frighten ns. for we determined to take
one tiling tit a time, and only go as far
as we found it necessary. It was a con
stant amusement to go over to the house
and see how tilings were getting on, and
I think we both agreed with Matthew
when he said, “Really. 1 shall be quite
sorry when the work is done.”
It was not so pleasant, however, when
the bill came in. How it had mounted
up so enormously we could not tell, but
the sum total fairly staggered us. I un
dertook to write to the builder and de
mand an explanation, but when it came
we could understand it less than the bill
itself.
“I think we had better put it into a
lawyer's hands," said Matthew.
To this, however. I would not give my
conseut. “We shall only lose more in
the end," I said. “We must pay an in-
itallment now, and when we have let it
we can pay the rest out of the rent.”
“When we have let it!" The words
passed into a household phrase before
that longed for day arrived. We put an
advertisement in several papers, and
many people came to see it, but they all
had some objection or other to make.
Some thought it too big, some too small.
some too far from the town, and some
too near; some wanted more bedrooms,
and some even disliked our delightful
corridor.
“Very pretty! Oh, yes, very pretty
indeed!” said one lady as we pointed it
out to her; “but it is a perfect wilder
ness of cold draughts!”
We were silent; we could not deny-it.
Matthew said something rather feebly
about cocoanut matting, but the lady
left without listening to him.
Things were getting very desperate
when one day a gentleman called and
said that he had heard that we had a
house to let Instantly we were all in
the highest state of excitement. Jane
and I flew to pnt on our bonnets, and
Matthew reached down his hat and stick.
The gentleman told ns that his name
was Wilton; that he had seen our adver
tisement in the paper, and that he want
ed a house some little way out of the
town, as his children were not very
strong.
‘‘How many children have yon?” in
quired Matthew.
“Oh, several,” replied Mr. Wilton.
“Ls this the house? It looks very pretty.”
We had become so accustomed to hear
the house found fault with that our
hearts warmed to him at these words,
and we parted mutually pleased, after
showing him over the place.' We - heard
from him in a day or two, accepting our
terms. Our house was let! We could
scarcely believe our good fortune.
We took an early opportunity of walk
ing out in that direction, and paying a
call on a friend who lived in a house not
far from ours. The conversation soon
turned upon our new tenants, and Miss
Carton’s words confirmed our worst
fears.
“I am so sorry you have got such a
tribe of rampaging children into your
house,” she said. “I was going hy the
other day. and heard a great noise, and
there were two boys crawling over the
roof of the corridor. Their mother was
leaning out of the window trying to
reach them with a broom, and as one of
them got away from her he put his foot
through the glass. You never heard
such a set out as they made in your life.”
Our hearts sank to zero. The Wiltons
had taken the house by the year, and we
did not see how to get rid of them at a
moment's notice; yet before six months
—much more a year—had elapsed our
poor honse would be a ruin, and our
garden a wilderness. It was not alto
gether with disappointment, therefore,
that in a few months’ time we heard that
Mr. Wilton had decided to leave the
neighborhood, and would be much
obliged if we would release him from our
agreement.
We gladly consented, though with a
little outward show of reluctance. But
we could not quite understand why the
Wiltons were so eager to 4>e off. They
had bad the house remarkably cheap,
considering their requirements, and it
seemed ungrateful, to say the least.
They were no sooner gone, however,
than we found ont the cause of their
haste. Our house was a wreck. The
term may seem a strong one, but it is
not too strong for the truth. Both pa
per and paint were practically gone, tiles
off the roof, windows broken, pipes out
of order—everything was a ruin where
once all had been so neat and beautiful.
We watched the builders at work this
time with very different feelings. There
was no pleasure in it now, and though
the bill was not so heavy as it had been
before it made no difference, for there
were no funds to meet it.
What was to be done? Matthew sug
gested that we should sell out some of
our capital, but that was clearly iin-
possible, for we should then have little
left to live upon. It was a difficult
point, but. as usual I hit upon a solution.
We would mortgage the house! Mat
thew did not altogether like the plan,
hut, as lie had no better one to propose,
l carried the day. The house was mort
gaged, and both bills paid off.
Months passed away, aud still the
honse remained milet. One gentleman
was very much inclined to take it, but
there was no coach house, and though
we were sorely tempted to build one we
dreaded bricks ;uid mortar too much to
venture, nnless he would Lave taken the
house For at least seven year’s. A widow
lady offered to take it if we would let
her have it free for the first two years,
and we were rather sorry afterward
that we had not closed with the pro
posal. for there seemed no chance of
anything else turning up. Meanwhile
we had to reduce our expenses daily to
meet the drain of the interest.
“The next thing will be that we shall
not be able to pay our debts," said Mari
thew gloomily, but it is always the dark
est hour before the dawn, and only a
few days after he made the remark we
had an offer that bade fair to remove onr
difficulties. A gentleman and his wife
came down to stay at an hotel in the
town and look about for a house. Di
rectly I heard of it I got Matthew to go
j with me to call npon them, for I felt
that such an opportunity might nor oc
cur again. Mr. and Mrs. De Conrcy
were most pleasant people; one could
see at once that they had been awns- |
tomed to move in the very 1 >est society;
there was an ease and grace about them
that contrasted pleasantly with onr local
manners. They received ns most kindly
and made an appointment to see the
honse.
"I can hardly hojte that they will take
it.” I said, as we walked home; but con
trary to my expectations they were en
chanted with it. and fell in with all onr
wishes with the most surprising readi
ness. I did not wish to say anything
about a repairing lease, for I was afraid
they might not like it. hut Matthew had
been so alarmed by our previous advent
ure that he insisted upon it.
Mr. De Courcy was most gentlemanly.
I must say. “I should have proposed it
myself if you had not thought of it,” he
said, with one ot those bows of his that
made me feel that my bonnet was very
shabby and that there was a darned place
in my Sunday shawl.
Such politeness required a like return,
and when he asked us if it would make
any difference if he paid the rent yearly
instead of quarterly, as it would be a
good deal more convenient to him, we j
could only reply that it would make no
difference at all.
“It will lie awkward, all the same,"
safcl Matthew to me afterwaid. “We
have bad to go into debt already, and if
we are to get no rent for a year we shall
have to go in deeper still.”
“I know that, but what could we do?
We might have lost them altogether if
we had refused, and with such excellent
references onr money is safe enough.”
When a thing is done there is no use
in discussing it; we had got onr tenants,
and I think we were glad to get them at
any price. No people could have been
more pleasant than they were: they
made no difficulties about anything,
and were always friendly and cordial
whenever we saw them. Agaip and
again we congratulated ourselves on our
good fortune.
We were very glad all the same when
the year drew to a close, for of course
we had been obliged to pay the interest
as usual, aud as we had only onr regular
income with which to meet it we had
gone into debt on all sides.
“The year will be up in a fortnight
now," I said, when Matthew was groan
ing one day over our unpaid bills.
The next day was fine and bright, and
I proposed that we should go out and
call upon onr tenantB. We thoroughly
enjoyed our walk; the pleasantness of the
day, added to the near prospect of relief
from our difficulties, raised all our spir
its, and wespliatted gayly along the road
until the house came in sight.
“I think they might keep curtains is
the windows,” said Jane as we reached
the gate.
“Nonsense, Jane!” 1 replied sharply.
“You are always finding fault about
something or other; no doubt it is the
latest fashion to have no curtains.”
“The house does look rather odd,
though,” said Matthew; “in fact”— He
broke off suddenly, aud quickening his
pace went up to the dining room win
dow and looked in. Jane and I followed,
and pressed our faces against the glass.
The room was bare!
Not a stitch of furniture was left: car
pets, curtains, all were gone. Jane burst
into tears.
“Jane, how stupid you are!” 1 ex
claimed angrily, but more because of the
growing dread at my heart than that 1
really thought her stupid. “Of course
they are house cleaning.”
Matthew said nothing. He went up
and tried the door; it was open, and we
rushed in. The empty rooms echoed to
the sound of our feet; the bare walls
seemed to mock our misery; our tenants
had run away, and we were ruined!
Whatever Matthew’s faults are I must
admit that there are sparks of nobility
in his nature. When we had proved be
yond a doubt that our fears were cor
rect his first words were, “Now we
must think how to meet our creditors.”
“Matthew,” I cried, in a sudden burst
of remorse, “it has all been my fault.
Oh, I wish we had never had the house
at all; but you shall do just what you
think best now.”
“Very well,” said Matthew, “we will
sell the house and pay off the mortgage,
and then we will see how we stand with
the world.”
I felt it was right, and I said not a
word to hinder him, bnt it was not the
affair of a moment: nor when the house
was sold at last were we in any better
position than we were before; for in ad
dition to the back debts which still had
to be paid there were the legal expenses.
I was not at all surprised to see streaks
of gray in my hair, nor to notice how
many new lines had appeared on Mat
thew’s forehead. As for J ane she cried
all day, which only made me cross. 1
could see no way out of our troubles,
aud I did not even try ter advise Mat
thew. The slcy was so dark and gloomy
that it seemed impossible for any light
to appear.
“I suppose we shall have to go through
the bankruptcy court?” said I bitterly
one day.
“No,” said Matthew; “there is another
way, and I want to consult you about it.
If we sell off some of our cajHial we can
payoff all of our debts.”
"But how shall we live?” I exclaimed.
“We must take a little cottage and
keep no servants, and I must try to find
some work as a copying clerk. I am
afraid that is all I am good for now.”
“Matthew! Yon a copying clerk
again? I cannot let you do it.”
“There is no other way.” said Mat
thew cheerfully, “and so we must make
the best of it.”
I said no more: no. not even when I
found that after all our debts had been
paid we should not have enough to live
on, unless Jane and 1 fouud some em
ployment,. I knew tliat Matthew was
right, and that it was theoulv honorable
thing left for us to do. Jane has gone
ont as companion to an old lady. and 1
take in needlework and keep our tiny
cottage in order for Matthew and my
self.
We are not quite unhappy, in spite of
all our troubles, but we feel the break
n]> of our home keenly, and when I see
Matthew come in, worn out and weary
from his scantily paid labor, and think
of the happiness lie used to enjoy as he
went a'nonr helping those in poverty and
distress. I feel that the best wish I cau
bestow on any one who has an aunt is
that if she should die she may not leave
them her house.—M. B. Wheting in Bos
ton True Flag.
