CHOICE STORY.
THE UNRULY MEMBER.
BY J. B. HOAG, M. D.
The reader will allow me to conduct him,
(in imagination, at least.) to the beautiful
town of Kingston, in the State of New York,
situated a few miles west of the Hudson ; it
is one of those lovely towns, nestled araons;
the hills, which at once strikes the attention
of the traveller, as being delightful, quiet,
and desirable ns a place of residence. It
must be admitted that there is a kindofaris
tocracy here, a class of exclusives, who con
fine their sociality to their own set. While
this is true, I am happy to be able to chron
icle the fact that wealth and position are not
the terms of admission into the set of exclu
sives ; but, on the other hand, you could find
many there on terms of tin most perfect in
timacy with the wealthiest, who are among
the less favored by the blind goddess, but
pursue honorable vocations for a livelihood,
lint the test is strict honesty and probity; a
rigid adherence to the acknowledged princi
ples of right. Failing to reach this standard
some of the wealthiest were denied admission
into that social circle.
On a balmy June afternoon, a Mrs. Burns
made a large number of calls, and it was ev
ident that she was the bearer of tidings which
produced no small degree of excitement. As
she was about to take her departure from the
parlor of Mrs. Lane, she remarked, —
“\\ hat do you think of one who belongs
to the church, and has always been admitted
into the best of society, doing a of this
kind r
Mrs. Lane replied,—
“I would charitably hope that there is
some misunderstanding, or mistake, in the
matter.”
“I assure you, there is no mistake. I re
peat, that I was there this morning, and while
I was present, Mr. Norton's errand-boy
brought a package from his store, and she
brought it into the parlor, and showed me
her purchases, displaying a beautiful scarf,
and remarking to me that she had not pur
chased it, but would keep it. On my asking
her bow siie supposed the merchant happened
to send it, she told me she had been looking
at it, but laid it on the counter, and as itw\as
close to the goods she selected, she presumed
the clerk who did up the bundle supposed it
was one of the articles she had purchased.
She said she was not prepared to pay for it,
and all the other articles she wished there
and elsewhere, although she desired to have
it; but now they had sent it, should keep it.
I would not have believed it of Mrs. Cranton,
had 1 not seen and heard what I did. I al
ways supposed her to be perfectly honest.”
“I have always had a high opinion of her,
and from a long and intimate acquaintance
with her have believed her to be above any
act of dishonesty ; but if she possesses that
trait of character, degrades herself by Mich
acts, I shall most certainly cut her acquaint
ance.”
“ I beg of you not to repeat it on my au
thor ty ; but I have told you the facts just as
they occurred.”
With this parting injunction the visitor
loft, to spread the calumny toother ladies of
her acquaintance.
In the meantime, the subject of the scan
dal was all unconscious of the dark cloud of
suspicion that was gathering over her. The
effect on the minds of nearly all who heard
the disgraceful narration was similar to that
on the mind of Mrs. Lane. As is usual in
such cases, the news spread from mouth to
mouth until nearly all of Mrs. Cranton’s ac
quaintances looked upon her with suspicion.
She made a few calls within the next fortnight
on ladies with whom she had formerly been
particularly intimate, but in each instance
she was informed that the lady was engaged,
and could not see company. On meeting
her former friends in the street, she was met
by no look or glance of recognition. At
church, after the services were over, no one
seemed to know her.
Unconscious of the cause of this treatment,
it was a source of much grief to her. Finally
she spoke of it to her husband, and referred
to the particular circumstance of meeting Mrs.
Welton, a lady with whom she had been on
particularly intimate terms for years, and, in
deed, since their first acquaintance, which
dated prior to the marriage of either, who
carefully avoided speaking to her, and affect
ed to lie unconscious of her presence. She
told him that, such treatment had become
general among her old friends, and she was
utterly unable to account for it,. He suggest
ed the propriety of calling on Mrs. Welton,
and asking an explanation; she at first de
murred, as she deemed it to be too humilia
ting; but on being urged by her husband to
do so. she resolved to act on his suggestion.
Accordingly, on that afternoon she called
at Mrs. Welton’s residence, and was conduct
ed to the parlor. As the lady approached
her she arose ; and extended her hand for an
old time greeting, which Mrs. Welton declin
ed to take, but simply favored her with a cold
nod. Mrs. Cranton resumed her seat and
remarked.—
“I see lam not mistaken. Yon evidently
have concluded to cut my acquaintance, and
my errand here is to ask of you an explana
tion. I think, by the long; friendship that
has existed between us, I am entitled to it.”
*‘l presume that I am not the only one who
manifested a disposition to cease their inti
macy with you, and 1 should not suppose you
would expect to retain the respect of your
old acquaintances since that affair about the
scarf.”
‘‘l confess I am totally in the dark in re
ference to what, you allude !”
“You certainty cannot be as ignorant of
what I refer to as you profess to be.”
“ I assure you that I am.”
“I allude to your receiving a scarf from
Mr. Norton’s store by mistake, and saying
you would keep it; and. further, I will inform
you that I received mv information directly
from an eye witness, who was present when
the goods arrived, and who heard you say
you had not paid for it, and you admitted it
was sent by mistake, but yet you asserted
you would keep it. Mrs. Burns is mv au
thor.”
An indignant flush suffused Mrs. Cranton’s
countenance, and she hastily arose and ab
rubtly left the house.
The next day more than twenty ladies,
former intimate friends of Mrs. Cranton, re
ceived each a note, requesting that they would
meet her at her parlor at a designated time.
Ihe invitations were couched in language
that gave their recipients to understand that
by complying they would receive information
that would be to their advantage. The re
sult was that all were promptly there at the
appointed time.
Mrs. Cranton appeared before the assem
blage of ladies, w r earing the scarf which had
been the innocent cause of all the gossip and
estrangement among former attached friends.
Mrs. Burns formed one of the group. After
all who had been invited had arrived, Mrs.
Cranton stepped before them and remarked. —
“Ladies, the object I had in inviting you
to this place, at this time, was to disabuse
your minds in reference to a wrong impress
ion you are laboring under. I have noticed,
within the last few weeks, a coldness on the
part of my old friends, those whose esteem
and friendship 1 have highly prized, and had
the curiosity to investigate the matter in or
der to, if possible, ascertain the cause of the
evident estrangement. I found, in that case,
it was owing to an impression that I stooped
to the contemptible act of availing myself of
a mistake to obtain this scarf dishonestly,
and supposed the same impression had in
fluenced all of you whom I numbered among
my warm-hearted friends, who should have
repelled rather than have cherished, a dis
graceful suspicion against me. Am I correct
in my surmise ?”
“Of course that is it,” came from several
at once.
“Will you be kind enough to inform of
whom you obtained your information ?”
“From Mrs. Burns,” was the response.
“I did tell them that you intended to keep
the scarf, and you do not dare to deny tell
ing me so,” defiantly retorted Mrs. Burns.
Mrs. Cranton stepped into another apart
ment. and soon returned, accompanied by
Mr. Norton.
“I wish,” said she to that gentleman, “you
to give these ladies the history of my obtain
ing this scarf, if you recollect it.”
“ I do remember most distinctly that a few
weeks ago you purchased some goods of me,
and examined a scarf, and told me that you
wished to obtain it, but was not prepared at
that time, but would probably come or send
for it the next day. I remember further, that
same afternoon you came to me with the
money for it, telling me that I had sent it
with the other goods you bought. On ques
tioning the clerk, who did up your bundle of
S goods, he told me, as it was lying on the
counter by the side of the other goods, he
supposed you had purchased it ”
“That, ladies,” said Mrs. Cranton,” is a
true statement of the case. I remember Mrs-
Burns was present when the bundle came,
j and I expressed my surprise that the scarf
was sent, and said I believed I would keep
j it, but had no intention of keeping it without
paying for it. So as soon as I saw my hus
band, I obtained the money from him, and
that same afternoon I went to Mr. Norton’s
store and paid him for it. as he has told y'ou.”
Upon hearing this, the ladies gathered
around her with extended hands, and were
profuse in their apologies. As for Mrs. Burns,
she burst into tears, saying as audibly as her
sobs would permit,—
“I am sure, I should not have told what I
did if I had understood the matter; I meant
no harm.”
But subsequently she found herself exclu
ded from the society, and looked upon with
contempt and scorn by those in whose esti
mation, by her unbridled tongue and gossip
ing disposition, she bad sought to injure an
other.— Waverley Magazine.
How to Set Trees.
From first to last the work must be done
well. The trees must be dug with care, with
all the roots that can be obtained, without
spending unnecessary time. Stand by y'our
self, if you set hired men to digging them up.
and see that the work is done right, as not
one man in a hundred of ordinary farm hands
can be trusted alone to dig up trees. There
must be no maiming of the roots ; but cut off
the large ones carefully', and save all the small
fibrous roots that you can, as they arc the life
of the tree. Don’t leave the trees when dug
up exposed to the sun and wind. If to be
carried far in a wagon the roots should be
covered if the sun shines, and on arriving at
the place of destination heel them in as soon
as possible, unless you can sot them out im
mediately’, and in that case they ought to be
put in the shade. When the trees are not to
be set for some days, it is best, after being
heeled in, to throw some coarse hay or straw
over their tops to prevent the evaporation of
the sap in the branches. The trees should
be trimmed before they are heeled in, and the
tops should conform in bulk somewhat to the
roots of the trees. Next comes the setting;
do not be in a hurry, dig the holes abundant
ly' large, so the roots can be extended their
full length, and trust to no man alone to do
this work for you. Put the surface by itself,
and put that soil around the roots, and if your
land is somewhat poor it would lie well to bring
some good garden soil in a wheelbarrow to
put around the roots in addition to the surface
soil. See that the roots come in close contact
with the soil, by moving the trunk of the tree
back and forth while putting in the earth.
When the roots are well covered tread down
the earth upon them as firmly as possible,
then fill in nearly' full, tread again, and then
turn in part of a pail of water, let it settle a
few hours, then fill up with earth and the work
is done. —Columbia County Farmer.
To Make Cows Give Milk.
A writer who says his cm? gives all the
milk that is needed in a family of eight per
sons, from which he made two hundred and
sixty pounds of butter in the year, gives the
following as the treatment. lie says :
“If you desire to get a large yield of rich
milk, give your cow three times a day water
slightly warm, slightly salted in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two
gallons of water. You will find it, if you have
not found this by daily practice, that your
cow will gain twenty per cent, immediately'
under the effect of it! She will become so at
tached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear
water unless very thirsty', but this mess she
will eat almost any’ lime and ask for more.
The amount of this is an ordinary water pail
full each time, morning noon and night. Your
animal will then do her best at discounting
the lacteal. Four hundred pounds of butter
is often obtained from good stock, and in
stances are mentioned where the yield was
even at the higher figure.”
Pumpkins.
Select your best, well-ripened pumpkins,
and put them in a dry, secure place, first lay'-
ing down a bed of straw a foot deep, then a
layer of pumpkins and another layer of straw,
pumpkins, and so on, and cover well with
straw, and it is said they will keep perfectly
all winter. Feed the balance to your stock
as fast as they will consume them without
waste.
SUNDAY READING.
THE NINETY-AND-NINE.
There were nincty-and-nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold,
But one had wandered far away
In the desert so lone and cold;
Away on the mountain wild and bare,
Away from the shepherd's tender care.
Shepherd, hast thou not here thy ninety-and-nine,
Are they not enough for thee?
But the shepherd replied, this one is mine—
Has wandered away from me ;
The way may be wild and rough and steep,
1 go to the desert to find my sheep.
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed,
Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed
through.
Ere he found His sheep that was lost;
Away in the desert he heard its cry,
So feeble and helpless and ready to die.
Afar up the mountain, thunder riven,
And along the rocky steep
There arose the glad sound of joy to heaven —•
Rejoice, I have found my sheep ;
And the angels echoed around the throne—
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own.
Note.—The two last lines of each verse is re
peated in singing.
Stop and Shake Hands.
The Golden Rule says : “ Why is it that
men dart out of prayer meeting as soon as
the benediction is given ? The true idea of
the Church is, that it is family—God’s family.
Its members are children of one Father, and
brothers and sisters one of another. A pray
er-meeting, therefore, is a family meeting.—
It ; .3 a reunion of brothers and sisters. The
service is of the character of a feast; and we
all know that after feasting comes talking
and exhibition of good nature. After the
formal portion of the service is over, brethren,
why not stay and have an informal service o*’
your own ? Talk of whatever the Spirit sug
gests ; tell your joys and your sorrows, your
hopes and your fears one to another. ‘ Laugh
with those who laugh and weep with those
who weep.’ Don’t file out of the room, sol
emn as crows fly to the groves at night, pass
ing through gloom into deeper gloom—but go
forth happy, as children pour out of the door
when father and mother start out with them
for a ramble in the bright sunshine across the
the green fields. At least stay long enough
after the formal service to shake hands with
the pastor and with each other, and greet any
stranger that may chance to have dropped in
among you of an evening. Lubricate the
wheels of your Church machinery with the
‘oil of gladness,’ and you will be astonished
at the ease with which all its parts will soon
be working together. ‘Salute every saint in
Christ Jesus.’ ”
Every Day Religion.
We must come back to our point, which is,
not to urge all of you to give yourselves up
to mission work, but to serve God more and
more in connection with your daily calling.
I have heard that a woman who has a mission
makes a poor wife and a bad mother; this is
very possible, and at the same time very
lamentable ; but the mission I would urge is
not of this sort. Dirt}' rooms, slatternly
gowns, and children with unwashed faces are
swift witnesses against the sincerity of those
who keep others’ vineyards and neglect their
own. I have no faith in that woman who
tells of grace and glory abroad, and uses no
soap and water at home. Let the buttons be
on the shirts, let the children’s socks be
mended, let the roast mutton be done to a
turn, let the house be as neat as anew pin,
and the home be as happy as home can be.
Serve God by doing common actions in a
heavenly spirit, and then, if your daily call
ing only leaves you cracks and crevices of
time, fill these up with holy service.— Spurgeon.
Eternal Sins.
The Christian Guardian , Canada, says :
“ Father Chiniqny has a short way of explain
ing difficulties in theology to his French Ca
nadian hearers. The subject of eternal pun
ishment having been agitated in the churches
and press of Canada, recently, the preacher
thus made the matter plain to hid audience.
He said : “ They tell us that a just God will
not inflict eternal punishment for a momen
tary sin. This is quite true, mes amis (my
friends.) It is only' eternal sins that are pun
ished eternally*. A momentary sin is one
that is repented of and forgiven through
Christ, but a sin that is not truly repented is
an eternal sin, and must subject the sinner
to eternal punishment. Hence the loud call
to repentance continually reiterated in the
gospel.’ ”
God’s Will.—“ I could write down twenty'
cases,” says a pious man, “ when I wished
God had done otherwise than he did, and
which I now see. had I had my own will,
would have led to extensive mischief. The
life of a Christian is a life of paradoxes. lie
must lay hold on God, he must follow hard
after him, he must determine not to let him
go. And yet you must learn to let God
alone. Quietness before God is one of the
most difficult of all Christian graces; to sit
where lie pleases, to be what lie would have
us be, and this as long as He pleases.”
you cedars planted in the house of
the Lord, casting a cool and grateful shadow
on those around you ? Are you palm trees,
fat and flourishing, yielding bounteous fruit,
and make all who know you bless you ? Are
you so useful that were y r ou once away it
would not be easy to fill y’our place again,
but people, as they pointed to the void in the
plantation, the pit in the ground, would say:
“ It was here that that old palm tree diffused
his familiar shadow, and showered his mellow
cluster ?” Or are you a peg, a pin, a root
less, branchless, fruitless thing, that may be
pulled up any day. and no one ever care to
ask what has become of it ? What are y T ou
doing ? What are you contributing to the
world's happiness, or the church’s glory ?
What is your business ?— Christian Index.
It is the uniform doctrine of the Bible, that
none will be saved but those who persevere
in a life of holiness.— lbid .
