BETTER THAN GOLD.
Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles a thousand lold.
Is a healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart I bat ean feel for another’s woe,
And share its joys with a genial glow.
With sympaihi 's large enough to enfold,
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Hotter than gold is conscience clear.
Though toiling for bread in an humb’e
sphere.
Doubly blessed with content and health;
Untried by the lust of cares of wealth-
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble a poor man’s cot,
For mind and morals in nature’s plain
Are the genuine tests of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the swer t repose
Of the sons ot toil when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor man’s sleep,
And the balm that drops oil his slumbers
deep,
Bring sleeping draughts to the aching bed
\\ here luxury pillows its downy head,
His simple opiate deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm ot books ean find,
A treasure surpassing Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore,
The sage’s lord and the poet’s lay,
The glories of the empire pass away.
The world's great dream will thus enfold
And yield a pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home.
When ail the fireside character come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life.
Hallowed by mother or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow with heaven’s decree.
The blessings tout never were bought nor
sold;
And ci ntre there, arc better than gold,
“LIZ.”
“VYliat ate von up to, Liz,” asked
Dick Sanders, the tin-peddler, stalk
ing into the large, weil ordered eoun
try kitchen, and, with only this
salutation, drew iff his grey yarn
mittens and proceeded to warm his
almost benumbed lingers by lite
loaiing tiie that sputtered and
crackled under L;zs large boiler ut
clothes.
“I’m up to my eyes in the wash
tub,” replied that ind’vidtial thus
addressed not over politely
“That’s what I was a thinking,”
said be, "The boiler holds out good,
don’t it now l The last time it sot
to leaking, I thought it was all day
with the patriarch —buttered it I
didn’t. No wonder that tolks blow
on my ware!”
“I was tellin’ Miss Avery t’other
day,” interrupted Liz,” that when she
wanted any more tiu things, I hoped
she’d send to town alter ’em. Your
stuif has listened to your gab and
brag so long, that somehow it’s got
a bad edieation. Now them pans
never behaved like the pans Tim
Backlit! used to bring aro ind.—
Tliey’.e always a bending and spring
ing a leak, lo speak a little plainer,
I’m always alraid to trust ’em,
’specially when it’s onusually impor
tant that they should hold in.”
“What in natur are you drivin’ at,
Liz 1” inquired poor D ok, It genuine
look of wonder overspreading his
face. But before his companion
could have time to reply, the door of
the sitting room softly opened, and a
young lady, i apparently in deep
I bought and very much troubled in
spirit, for her eyes were red and
heavy with weeping, appeared on the
threshold,
“What is it Flora?" said Liz,
scooping the white suds, trout her
strong, red arms, and such a little
thrill of tenderness in her voice, that
the peddler involuntarily tinned to
-ee what it could mean, and then,
remembering Ins manners, said has
lily :
"Hood morning, Miss Avery.—
Hope you’re well.”
The young lady gave a little start
of surprise, am! then recovering her
Sl .|f with considerable anoyat.ee
in her nine : . .
‘•l’m quite well, thank you, Dn-k
I itonight you were alone. L z, ’ and
immediately lef the kuchen.
“ .„w what’s the matter with Te:
inquired the tin merchant. v •
-ain't she been bawling, tb 'tab • *
tell you wha Yis, Liz.if a feller wants
to know the secrets of families all
lies got to do is to turn tin peddler.
“And lie,” added Liz, punching the
clothe, in the boiler with Mid. force
as to !M*ml il»« sii‘U iu Dinks
immediate neighborhood, causing
said gentleman to dornge his quar
tets without loss of time.
“Sav, now, what is it that ails tho
g«l, Liz ? I won’t say a word about
it to nobod V. If 1 -10, shoot me .
“Huw long did you say you’d been
traveling round ibis country J” asked
Liz, with a coum-al twinkle of her
comical eyes.
“Nigh about twelve years. Y\ by l
“Because it seems to me pretty
near time tlrat you should a learnt
“COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
that wimmen folks is vviintnen folks;
and when you’ll find me a woman
that don’t have her crying spells, I’ll
find you a tin peddler that minds his
own business.”
“Thank inarm,” replied Dick, dry
ly. “Have a queer sort of an idee,
sou ehow, that last remark was in
tended for me. All day, Liz. llopo
the next time I'm round you’ll be
belter natureil.”
Net a word answered Liz. The
peddler jumped into his cart and
drove away ; and*in and out of the
suds went those stalwart arms, the
muscular and ungainly form keeping
time !o the quick and defiant music
of the rub board.
“Oh, lie’s gone! I am so glad !”
And now the graceful figure came
softly out again and crept to the side
of the busy woman.
“I want you to read my letter,
Liz—the one I have just written lo
him.”
“Well, who's him ? There are
two on ’em, you know,” replied Liz,
quietly,and with great self possession.
“Yes, Liz.” and new the beautiful
brown eves again overflowed, and
the sobbing child drew still nearer as
she whispered :
“But there is only ope I could
write to, of course, even if 1 knew
where lie was,” with an accent on the
personal vpronoun that told its own
story
“Then what you mean to tell me
is that von have just written a lellei
to Hiram Scoville ?”
“Yes, Liz.”
“Will, go on.”
“Don’t look at me, Liz, while I
read it. 1 just said this. You know
how father and muthen have been
taking on lately—calling me undiiti
[ ltd, and headstrong, and obstinate,
and saying that - meant to break
their hearts ?”
“Is this in the letter ?” quertiod
I Liz
“No; I am saying this t0.,.y0u
You know, deary, how hard my life
lias been tor the last six mouths —
well, ever since—”
“Yes, Flora, I know all about it
Now read the letter betoie anybody
comes in."
“Dear friend Hiram,” came tremu
lously from the sweet lips,
“Humph ! ’ grunted Liz,
“What else could 1 say ?” said poor
Flora, despairingly, “He is my
friend, isn’t lie ?”
“That depends pretty much on
your idea of a friend. My friend
don’t torment me. lie saves me
from suffering if he can ; an I it lie
can’t, beais it with me, carrying ns
much of the burden as God will let
him No friend will ever ask a
woman to marry him the second
time after has been once refused.”
“But Liz —”
“There are no buts iu the case.’
“Love makes men bold, and some
times reckless. You must think ol
that.” . i
“Love never does no such thing,
said Liz, who was never known ro be
grammatical, save in moments ot
excitement-.
The trembling girl commenced
again ‘Dear friend Hiram. ‘Now
don’t speak again, please, Liz, till 1
finish,’ as the strange woman gave
unmistakable indications of inward
rebellion, ‘lt is tlie wish of my pa
rents that l wiite you, and sav that
it is their desire that 1 should accept
jou as my future husband. 1 don t
love you one single bit, and I am
sure l novel shall *, but if you want.
| me under those circumstances, 1 have
nothing more to say, save tliat 1
utterly refuse to receive any special
! attention from you preceding our
marriage.”
‘Wal, now, I vow, Flora Avery, I
- should laugh if anybody in the house
was a laying dead led a man
you've made up your mind to many
him,and at the same lime mtorm him
that all courting has got lo he post
poned until niter the wedding. Do
you suppose because a minieler bar
mumbled over a tew words—nothing
iu tho least disrespectful to the minis
ter iuiende i—that on this account
ki-ses ami com ting will be * u y more
welcome than* uow ?
‘No, Liz. no I .be thought of it
I drives me wild ; but ibeie is nothing
left for me to do. Mother is crying
up stairs new ; and father lias hardly
spoken to me lor a who.e week be
cause of my willulness. I have been
reading the Bible for an hour, Liz,
dear, aud that i» what has decided
me The command i»t Lhiidieii
obey your parent. V and there is no
war 1 can dodge it.’
i -Just like tAe rest of educated folks,
you have choked yourself to death
with tbe letter aud thrown the spirit
overboard. Now my common sense
tells :ne that you oou'l understand
' th« meaning of what you’ve been
rending It is: ‘Wives, obey your
liustmiul in the Lord and it is :
‘Children, obey your parents in tbe
Lord.’ Now the Lord is love, Flora,
dear, and lie gives you these very
feelings of like and dislike,this liking
to be with a person or luting to be
with a.person, to guide you through
life. They aie weapons that the
poor carnal flesh couldn,t get along
without. Now if you take the pistol
that God puts into vonr hands to
keep the wild animals away, and lay
it down side of you, and let the crit
teis come in and devour you, who's
to blame I wonder! You must
think your Fathei in heaven didn’t
know what kind of timber he was
putting into you when he got you
■•p. As far as I’ve observed—and I
haven’t lived to be thirty years old
without learning some things—there
is nothing that, brings so much tntse
rv with it as marriage without love.
Don’t you do it, Flora, dear—don’t
you do it.’
‘But, L'z, you know that I shall
never love anybody Oh ! vhv did
he go and get married !’ And again
the beau til ill head was bowed on tne
the faithful bosom of the servant and
companion.
•Why did you grieve him by flirting
with a fellow von could hardly bear
in your sight! How long do you
suppose a man with ordinary self
rogpect is going to stand that sort of
woik I Sow the wind and reap the
whirlwind!’ There is nothing truer
than this between the covers of .the
Bible. If hr has married without
love, he'll have the same kind of a
crop.’
‘What shall I do with this letter,
Liz ?’
•Burn it up!’
‘What shall I do with father and
mother !’
‘Let’em quit!’
‘What shall I do with my own
aching heart t’
j ‘But a rousing big poultice of faith
and love on it, and then make your
j self as useful as you can to other
| folks. Tiie'e’s nothing like the
helping to forget yourself. Toil
have made a mistake ; that, if there
is any such thing as mistakes—
-1 sometimes 1 ain’t quite clear on that
pint—hut anvhow, it won't help that
I to put your foot in again, so long hs
! you know bettor, you see. There
' can’t he any real sin, I suppose, until
after knowledge is horn. Give me
the letter !’
Flora, with a wistful look in her
brown eyes, passed over the doeu
ment and in a moment more it was
ablaze under the boiler.
It was verv plain to the watchful
Liz that a storm was brewing, which
threatened to bring things to a crisis
without loss of time. Never was a
‘woik got out’ witli such speed. The
day passed on, dinner and tea were
over. Liz’s clothes had been brought
in and nicely folded down, when
Flora ran hastily into the kitchen,
saying:
‘Liz, father has sent for me in the
sitting room, and I do wish you could
come in some way. I’m so afraid I
shall give in if you arc not there to
strengthen me.’’
‘l’ll dodge in after a while,’ said
Liz. ‘Keep a still' upper lip and
make a good fight. No father and
mother has any right to command a
child to marry a man she don’t love.
! The Lord God Almighty is on your
side, Flora A .very ! Now go along
1 and behave yourself.’
Ay, that was a stormy scene.—
Father, who was firmly decided that
I his daughter should marry the man
he had selected, win as hard and
| cold as a stone Bitter words fell
from his lips—words that Flora never
supoosed lie eoipd utter.
‘Do you think,’ said he. ‘that I am
going to permit you logo puling
around the house like a sick kitten,
| because you are wicked enough,
mean enougli, to bo in love witli a
iico ried man V
‘llow do tou know he is a married
man V inquired Li/., with such earn
* eat ness in her voice that h lorn caught
her breath, and grew pale and ernu
' son by turns.
*l'saw it in tho newspaper
witli my own eyes.’
‘Wal.’ said Liz, quaintly, ‘I
saw in the newspaper the other
j day that’Square Bill Avery was
' worth seventy five thousand dol
lars. and I heard that same ’Square
j Avery swear it was the biggest
lie that ever was told.’
•That’s neither here nor there,’
roared the farmer. ‘l’ve made up
my mind, and Florp must make up
hers. It is Hiram Sooville ot no
I home here any more.*
! ‘No home here any more,
moaned poor Flora.
‘That’s what I said. To morrow
morning will bo time enough to
1 give your decision.’
[s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
‘And you, mother?’ said tile
| poor child, dashing the tears from
her eyes.
‘Wo know what is vonr best
good, Flora. I quite agree with
father.’
Not a word was spoken.
A few moments alter Flory and
Liz met again in the kitchen.
“What are you going to do about
it?’ inquiied Liz, in a most mutter
of fact manner.
‘I am going pitch my trunk
to night and get ready to leave
this house tomorrow,'' replied the
almost distracted girl.
‘And you won't marry Hiram
Scoville!’
‘I will never marry Hiram— so
help me Father in lleavetil’
‘That’s the way to talk!’ said
Liz, with an ominous shake of the
head; ‘that’s the cheese! Now,
just let your trunk alone to night,
and watch this pumpkin for me.—
I’ve got to otti for an hour or two,
and I wouldn’t have it burn for
considerable. I calculate to spread
myself on them pies.’
‘Shall I have to sit here all the
, time, Liz!’
“Well, I guess you’d better. The
i tarnal stulf sticks sometimes when
you least expect it.’’ A nd with
these words Liz shut tho back door
; and hurried out of sight
It’s a good live miles there and
back,’ said sbe to herself ‘I can’t
walk it and get back ill any kind
|of season. Now, if this ain’t a
i case of special Providence, then I
| don't know. There’s Dick San-
I ders’ tin cart this blessed minute!
: lie’s inside, getting his supper
1 with old Mann Chase I’ll borrow
that vehicle; and if I'm half as
smart as I ought to be, lie’ll never
know where in the world it went
i to, or how it got back, unless I’m
j a mind to tell him —which, just as
likely as not, 1 shall be.’
In a twinkling old Dobbin’s
wrappings were removed, and in
| a twinkling Liz was in the ped-
I dler’s seat, and in a twinkling more
out of sight. The tin pans rattled
and fluttered, the bells around the
corse’s jingled merily, but Liz
I hoard nothing, saw nothing, but
the object of her errand. Leaving
her strange team a block or two
from tho principal hotel of the
town she had entered, alic made
her way to that establishment
*A woman to see you on the
! steps, Mr. Moreland,’ said a ser
vant in waiting ‘Looks like a
waslu r-woimm. Says sbo can’t
come in.’
‘lt’s Liz,’ whispered the gentle
1 man to himself ‘Bless the dear
i creature’s heart, what can she
want to.night, I wonder. Oh,Flora!
j Floral’ anil with a heavy heart Mr
M iivlantl Walked quickly to the
j door.
I Here was a face for an artist—a
i face upon which true nobility sat
i enthroned. No need of acquain
j tance to tell what manner of man
lie was, lie had come to Water
town on business, and had informed
1 Liz of his vvh ■reabouts. Indeed,
these two individuals had been in
| correspondence since the trouble
between said gentleman and Flora,
and Liz had aiways known that
f'hillip Moreland was uut married
but she wisely kept her counsel,
believing that this lesson was
needed lor the entire snl jugation
of the rebellions little Flora. Not
that there had been any falsehood
i told though in tli s connection. —
A L'hillip. Moreland had mat t ied,
but not this one.
‘l’ve com ■ for you, Mr, More
laud,’ s id Liz
“For me! What for?’ inquired
the gentleman, in bewilderment..
•Get on your gieat coat and
come along: we’ll talk afterwards,’
said the woman in a tone of au
thority
‘But Flora?’
*1) n’t know nothing at all about
it. Has put her foot down that
site won t marry Hiram—confessed
that she loves you, mairied or sin
gle, better than anybody else in
the created world; and il she can i
have you, she’ll live single till
Gabriel blows his horn, and then
look up l'hillip More and ’
‘Liz, you have taken away my
j breath'’
‘Wal, what if I have?’ replied
the strange woman* ‘You refused
to budge till I did.’
The tin cart was a little too
much for the anxious lover’s risi
bilities even* lie luiigued till the
tears ran down his cheeks and
froze on, and then laughed again,
until others came to melt them.
Over the hard, uneven ground
: they went, biimbity bump, while
1 the bells souuded out a merry peal,
