I withdrew my arm from hors

“I dotr’i understand you," I cri
ed ; “why should it be either,
when you care for Waler ?”
It was her turn to be indignant
now ; 6he turned round on me
fiercely.”
“Waiter,’ Walter,” she raid ;
why do you keep on talking ot
him ! Ah !’ with something that
almost sounded like a sob “how
stupid you are.”
‘Then von had better not ask

“He is here,” she said ; “I will
call him. Jim come here and speak

abide with Idle fellows.
I began to feel sorry for Jim.
Ha cuine in however any thing
but sorry for himself, radiant and
blushing as any girl ; but as he
was eminently uncomfortable in
my presence, Kate soon dismissed
him to the p„ is again, and resum
ed her conversation. She was
far more talkative than usual, be
ing as a rule raihtr silent.
“Yes,” she continued, “we shall

most lev the first tiinoin my life
—to leave sweet Hawthorn Farm
where I had always been so happy
There was a aid antera ion in it
since the days when I used to go
there iu Kate's holiday-time, and
eat stiaht rries or cake, according
to the season of the yea r ; then ev
erytbing about the place had been
bright and prosperous; now all
spoke of want of money. True

As I walked through the vil

should I encoumer out Walter
Butler? He was sauntering
along with his hands in his pock

“Goed evening Waller,’’ I said <
“Good evening Miss.”

“I’m sorry for thai,” I replied.
“I cm iifram you are ra/her a roil

Jim Taylor will like keeping that

won’t make much out of tliaf

into it fir these many years past.’
“That is nis affair,’ I answered
“Good eveuingWalter,” anil I pass
iV on.
Six weeks later Kate t«oddie
and Jim Tayh r were made man
and wife in the litl e villiagc
chunh. To my mind Kxte look il
beautiful. Her simple white
drees and bonnet became her than
her erdiDsrily rather sinari at ire
and ber utisual pallor was an im
prnveinent to her. They
went s'raighi hsrne to H-tw horn
Farm, and began the business of
1 life at once. The whole affair

up t few siblings at haymaking

ins Haw tin. m farm as scon as
evir.Ur. and Mrs. Taylor were
s ttled there. Ho would Siroll
ujj to the house and present his
handsome lace at the kitchen
window, where Kate would
be busy with tier cooking or her
baking, or he would walk boldly
in and offer to help her with any
thing which she was employed-
Or, s< me pretext or other ho was
never long absent, and sot n my
f uller began to look grave about
it mid to say he feared Waiter
Butler was not up to much good
and that the villisge people were
bogining to talk.
In those days I used to go a* d
see Kate and always found her
busy and industrious, but with a
haggard worried look in her eves
iL.it might not to have been
there, for her affairs were looking
up—Tim worked like two men
fences were repaved, more hands
were taken on, new machinery
bought, and all. get! er Hawthorn
Ftirtn began to weal a faint resent
bninea to its former self. Old
Mr. ( Jodilie, too,was perfectly hap
py. Jim was an aiten iva and re-
Hpoctmi sou in law, and it seem
ed to me that, except that her
husband was too soft, as she once
said to me. Kate had nothing lo
complain of.
One afternoon when I strolled
up there 1 found, to my annoyance,
Waller Butler, with a pipe iu his
mouth, silling in tue best, parlor,
whileKato hat in the window mend

pleasure by saving, with marked
coldness;
“I will not stay, Kale, as Isi a
you are occupied,” and I was
about to withdraw when she
flung down her work and came af
ter me.
“Oh, Miss Florence, do stay—

There was a ting of entreaty in
her voice that struck me, and 1
turned round again

me at once go buck with her. We
found Walter still loungiug on tte

presence seimed to make Kate
brave, and she said o him:
“Now just you go about your

nasty pipe of this room when Miss
Florence is coming into it ”
He rose sulkily enough.
“Good by, Kate,” he said pat
ronizingly, made me a surly sal

I stayed and had ca wi-tu them,
and was more tlnm ever struck by
Jim's gtniletese and goodness tv
his wife an I tns Innate gt o 1-breed

married Weil as er all.
Her manner toward him was

it was cold, the next wan, ; it vtas

•‘Wiat a g< od husband yon

“Why, Kate. Jim is always tl ink

independent, cared to be looked
after so much.”
‘You are not martied, Miss
Florence. You don’t undera'aml,’
and with this, for me, rattier hu
miliating reinaik the conversation
j,eased.
It was a few weeks after this
that Jim proved himself the mini

ner that lie and Kate have been
the happiest of coupela ever since
Ka'e lmrself told me all about it
in a moment of expansion, follow
ing imtnedia ely af/er the event.
It seemed that cae day when
Walter was lounging about her
while she wav busy in her kitchen
garden, Jim came in very quietly
—he was always quit t—at an hour
when he w.« umiu ly out in tlie
fields, witli a heavy carter s whip
in hand, Ho walked up to Wal
ter.
“Now,' Fait! lie, qit calmly.
‘‘l wants to know wku! business
you always have here, prowling
abou/ my wife? If ever I catch
you in this here garden or 1.0 isc
again 1 will lay this” holding up
the whip—-“about your shoulders;
so now you lmd better 1 e gone."
Walter stared m itmazerntnt at
the quiet, fair-united mar.. “You
oaf, you,” he said.
“vln o*l, tun 1?’ said Jim, “then
take this,” and gave him a smart
out with the whip.
With a cry of cage Walter tried
lo spring on him, but Jim kept
his head and eluded him.
“Don’t try that.,’’ he said, “or
you will get the worst of il,” and
once more he taised the whip
menacingly.
“Kate go in,' ho said with a
ring of authori.y in his voice she
had never hoard there before, but
she did not stir. How could she
when love and t dmira/ion for her
husband wore surging /! rough
her veins, and her heart Was beat
pig so that she could not move?
For oue minute the two men
stood eyeing each othir, and then
lithe and active Jim seized Waller
ti and the waist and throw him
to ilu ground. There was a cry
of joy, of pride, and Kale ran up
to her husband
“OT, Jim! I nm so paid!”
He looked nl her wondoringlv,
but did not answ.r, f«r Waliet?
with au evil white face, had risen
(O his feet, and finding his dispis

seemed too much for him. He
shook his sis/, speechless with fu

time to repeat the gesture. Bo h
Kate und her husband ha,l entered
the house, he quite calm and quiet
again, a fact which impressed his
wife with hisstreng li of both body

“Did you say you were glad.
Kitty?” he asked incredulously.
“Oh! so glad. Jim, I have been
so miserable. He would come
here day after Way, and reproach
me with having benavud badly to

Tlie God He Know
Mr. Beecher spoke in Ply
mouth Church on Sunday, on the
cuucep.ion of ,J od. Some of the
things lie said in the sermon are
given below.
Theologians have thoaght out
God, and what a mi sera hie mesß
they have made it ! The creeds
undo iteehisms tbai represent God
are very much like the childrens
efforts at art. They give to their
repreectita/'ons of animals stiff
woodeu firms and legs. The God
of the creeds is very much a wood
en God.
Our personal and most vivid con
ceptioiiw of God • pring f.tom the
fselui" and the immagina ion,
the two lings that huve l.eon
most detpised in t o realms of
theological learnings are, after all,
God’s chosen instruments of mak.
iug known to us what He is—feel
ng to suggest quality ; imtntigina
turn to work quality up into por
traiture. The result is some ap
proach toward an understanding
of God, lut never the reality of
God.
The longing - f men for such a
knowledge of God we ull know
now exists. Jt /s now the com
