Boston Commercial Bulletin.] The Missing- Link. air, He built a nest on the palm tree's crest, And dwelt a masiw there. The monarch of all the earth, The lord of wood and plain, The lion bed when his angry tread Shook the earth with proud disdain, He dined on elephant, did This cy-no-ceph-a-lus, And rhinoceros, and the river horse, And the hip-po-pot-a-mus. Brawny of limb was he, Yet supple and agile, On rock or tree his arms were free, For his toes were prehensile. Yet doth the monarch sigh As he paces up and down, And soliloquize with-downcast eyes And a highly regal frown. Sad is the royal heart, Wounded the royal pride, For the lords of state say the king shall mate With a Nshiego Mbouve bride. ‘What! many a subject! I Espouse a chimpanzee! No, I’m not a Guelph if I know myself, No mesalliance for me! Perish my royal blood, Perish the princely line, Ere I desecrate, with a vulgar mate, This lineage of mine.” The monarch paused, transfixed, Vanished his growing wrath, And a bright surprise beamed in his eyes As he gazed down the forest path. A vision of beauty, such As by Simian eye, before, Had never been seen in the woodland green, Or been known to Simian lore. A maiden young and fair As the charcoal’s ebon tint, With teeth as whito as cowries bright From the Royal Congo mint Her locks of a crispy curl, Her feet of a mammoth size, All made her seem a bewitching dream To the fond gorilla’s eyes. To a high o’erarching limb He swung by his sinewy arms, And dangling there, ’twixt earth and air, Gazed on her dusty charms. “Now, by my kingly troth, This maid shall be, I think, My royal bride, and supply beside Mr. Darwin's missing link.” The thoughtless ebon maid, Sucpicionless of guile, To the trunk strayed, and beneath its shade, Tfirriiwl in tiinngki awlnlo. Then the monarch spake his love As he swung by the lofty limb; He was gifted, they say, with a taking away, For the lady smiled on him. He pats her curly locks, With his great prehensile toes Entwined in her wool—a vigorous pull— A shriek—and up she goes! Thus was the monarch wed, And thus the race began, Whence through various link, somewhat strange, methinks, Came the “Descent of Man!" HILL SHE RIDE OR WALK I IIL' [concluded. ] The spring and early summer wore away. One letter came from Darrel A letter such as lie might have sent to any chance acquaintance, full of hints of gay doings here and there—nothing more. One little note Vessey -wrote his mother, to say she could not make the promised visit. Darrel had said nothing in his letter of coming for her. “And tell Darrel”—at the close of her note—“that I am saving any amount of gossip against writing him some day.” But the “some day”nev er came. Absence, like astronglight, brings out hidden defects, and Vesey knew now that he was a man selfish and vain, who had played with her heart He had held it in his hand, weighed and measured it and her, and had cast both aside as worthless. She thought of it with burning cheeks. Among the mountains, in the sum mer, she gathered strength and life again; for both had seemed to faiL— Perhaps it was the heat. The summer had opened like the tropics. With another winter came the Winslows. If she had dreaded it, if she had feared for herself, would it have been strange? But the spell was broken. Looking back, she wondered. : Outwardly the old intimacy was re sumed. Darrel came and went as he had come and gone the year before.— But to Vesey it was only 'a shell—a hollow, heartless thing that never had been friendship, and could never now be love. Paul, plodding along day after day in the round of his duties, saw—as though a great way off—Vesey and Darrel .flying np and down the icy streets to the tinkle of silver hells. The words choked him. you, not to-night,” he said. He .had longed to meet her again, like this— alone and face to face. But her light manner, her dainty dress angered him to-night. He had come from such a different scene. Only a woman of the world, after all, he thought. And yet so sweet, so bitterly sweet, he owned, when he had turned away and plunged into the cold and darkness.— Darrel was waiting for her in the draw ing room. “You’re like a poem to-night, in all that rnby-red—like an Eastern song.’ “Thank yon,” Vesey said, drearni- !y- “I couldn’t imagine you in gray,’ 1 he went on, half to himself, “or in anything somber, or worn, or poor.” He had begun to study the girl in earnest now. “Yes, you are made for the rarest and best, Vesey; to shine in satin and diamonds.” Satin and diamonds! Vesey remem bered the man she had left at the door. He was ont in the winter night among the hungry and naked now, she knew. She had caught his half uttered sen tence. And she was made for satin and diamonds! “Is that all?” she asked, wistfullj “All? Is not that enough? It would satisfy most women.” But to-night it did not satisfy her. IV. Down at the beginning of the long street was a black, low-browed house, like many others here, with a shop in the lower story, or, more properly, two, since one window was occupied by a watchmaker, and the other dis played pins, needles, spools of cotton, and such small wares. Above were two or three rooms with slanting sides where a deformed girl—a pitiful ob ject to look at—lived with her mother, earning enough by sewing to put- bread into their months and scanty covering upon their backs—no more. Vesey employed them; from pity most ly, since her work could have been better done elsewhere. She stepped out of the sleigh here at dusk one night, and ran up the stairs, with a roll of work in her hand. She had to wait a moment, so she sat and talked with the girl, who was young like her self, and yet not like herself at all. It made her happy in the happy lot that had sometimes wearied her. It made her thankful for her strong, young life, which she had never named among her blessings, and it shot a gleam of pleasure through the girls dark days. It -muj a poor room, -with, paper torn and soiled, and of many patterns, upon the wall; with the bare boards of the floor yawning, rising and falling un easily; with the dim light struggling through uncurtained windows that peered from under the eaves like eyes from overhanging brows. In one of these windows, a forlorn canary in » broken cage—a brown little bird with ruffled, unkempt feathers—chirruped feebly, like a moan. Alow voice in a continuous murmur fell upon Vesey’s ear. It seemed to come from the next room. “What is that?” “Thut’m?” The girl’s pale foee grew bright. “It’s the minister, Mr. Hayes. He comes and prays with mother, now she’s sick.” The light died ont again. The little room became all at once like a church, solemn and still, as the low voice rolled on high, like a river far away. The girl laid down her work. Even the bird forgot its moan. The voice ceased. She heard his step upon the stairs. It was bnt a sec ond; he could not have reached the street, when a shriek came irorn the room he had left. The girl sat like one paralyzed. Vesey threw open the door. A swift line ol light ran all adown the bed. It burst into aflame, in the midst of which the siek woman straggled. The overtaxed candle at her head told the story. It was an • instinct—there was no time for thought —which made Vesey drag the square of carpet from the floor and press it down upon the flames. They shot ont into her face. They seemed to catch away her breath. They licked her arm. They strove and fought, and wellnigh overcame—all in an instant, that seemed hours to the girl, who threw herself upon the bed, smother ing the flames with her own weight They conquered at last The ai- ‘Thank iig tears, of sadden faintness, that overpowered her when she heard Iris step. The grim-faced doctor behind him walked straight to the bed. “There are no deep bums, I think, he said at length. “The blanketsaved her. The shock has done no more than the fire. A sponge—ah, that will do. Now some water, and some linen rags.” There were none. Vesey quietly held ont her dainty handker chief. “Hm!” he said, and tore his own into strips. “And now you?” He tamed to Ve sey. “I have ho bnms.” Indeed she felt no pain. The doctor raised her hand, and held it out to FanL The sleeve was cut away from her wrist as by a jagged knife with a blackened edge.— The flesh was like a flame. Haul’s teeth shut tight and quick together.— Something sprang into his eyes—not tears alone. Then Vesey began to tremble; and, concious at- last of the crael pain that bit and tore her hand, she sobbed like a hurt child. “Don’t mind,” she tried to say.— “Don’t look at me. Its only—only ” The sobs swept all her words away. Paul bathed her hand. She remem bered afterwards how tenderer than any woman’s had been his touch. “Let her cry,” said the doctor, in a voice that must have been given by mistake to the grim face. “And now she’d better go home.” He rose from the bed. He took the unharmed hand in his. “She’s a brave girL” He looked away from her- to Paul, bnt still he held her hand tight in liis.— “God bless yon, child. Now go home and go to bed.” Paul lifted her into the sleigh and wrapped the robes about her. “Shall T go with you?” “If I can take yon home.” “Oh no; I must go in here again.” “Then you need not.” It seemed suddenly as if they had known each other a lifetime—she and Paul; as if they could never be stran gers to each other again. She held out her hand. It was the one he had bound np. He took it tenderly in both his own. “The brave, strong hand!” he said, bending over it in darkness—“the hand that saved a life to-night.” V. There was to be a bazar, to raise money for the poor. It opened the next evening. The winter had been hard and cruel, and charity—some- •what exhausted—needed a spur. Vesey had promised to tend a booth. “You must not think of going,” her father exclaimed. Darrel, too—who foresaw a quiet hour with her alone, if she remained at home. He had something to tell—something to ask for, and a ring to give. Alas for him! He had kept his words too long. A year ago they would have been manna to her heart. “But I am quite well,” she pleaded, “except my hand; and that has ceased to pain me.” Indeed her face was radiant. So she dressed herself with quaint simplicity in something soft and gray that wrapped her like a cloud, with only the braids of her heavy hair for or nament; only her shining eyes for gems. Then she went and took her place. The maidens from the Chinese pa godas were all there. Before them, in their gay attaire, the Queen of Sheba, and even Solomon, the mag nificent, would have shrunk away abashed—their glory dimmed. Vesey’s nun-like dress was worse than diamonds in their envious eyes. More gay gallants than one paused to stare—to buy. Tt cools your eyes, you see, and rests you some way,” vonchsafed one man, by way of explanation. The evening was half over. Darrel had been her shadow. She was tired; tired of his eyes that followed her whichever way she turned; tired of his flattering words; tired of him. He moved away at last. Then, and not until then, she saw PanL All the maidens plumed their gay feathers as he walked down the hall.

T will walk with yon,” she said.— Scribner's Monthly. Stick to Your Bush. Mr. Morgan was rich, and also a good man. The people of the town respected him, and sent him to Con gress, nnd seldom undertook to do anything without asking his advice. If a school house waste be built, the plan had to be talked over with him. Widow P asked him whnt she should plant in her field; S al ways got his advice in buying cattle, and Mrs. R consulted him about bringing up her boys. When asked how he was so success ful Mr. Morgan said I will tell you how it was. One day when I was a lad, aparty of boys and girls were going to a pasture to pick blackberries. 1 wanted to go with them, bnt was afraid my father would not let me.— When I told him what was going on, he at once gave me permission to go with them, Iconld hardly contain my self for joy, and rushed into the kitch en to get a big basket, nnd asked mo ther for a Inncheon. I had the bas ket on my arm and was just going ont of the gute, when my father called mb back. He took hold of my hand, and said, in a very gentle voice: ‘Joseph, what are yon going for, to pick har ries or to play?’ ‘To pick berries,’I replied.—‘Then, Joseph, I want to tell yon one thing. It is this: When yon find a pretty good bash don’t leave it for a better one. The other hoys and girls will ran abont, picking a little here and there, and wasting a great deal of time and not getting many berries. If yon do as they do, yon will come home with your basket empty, if yon wont berries, stick to your bush.’ “I went with the party, nnd we had a capital time. Bat it was jast as my father said. No sooner had one fonnd a good bush than he called all the rest, and they left their several places to ran off to the newly fonnd treasure, Not content more than a minute or two in one place, they rambled over the whole pasture, got very tired, and at night had but few berries. My fath er’s words kept ringing in my ears, and I ‘stuck to my bush.’ When night came I had a large baket full of berries, more than all the others put together, and was not half so tired as they were. I went home happy. Bnt when I entered the honse, I fonnd that my father had taken very fll. He looked at my basket fnll of ripe black berries and said: ‘Well done Joseph. Was it not jnst as I told you? Always stick to your bush.’ He died a few days after, and I had to make my way into the world as best I could. Bnt my fathers words sank deep into my mind, and I have never forgotten the experience of the hlack- berryparty; I stuck to my bosh.— When I had a fair place, and was do ing tolerably well, I did leave it and spend weeks and months in trying to find abetter one. When the other young men said; ‘Come with us, we will make fortunes in a few weeks,* I shook my head and stuck to my bush. Presently my employers offered to take me into business with them. I stayed with the old house until the principals died, and then I had every thing I wanted. The habit of stick ing to my business led people to trust me, and gave a character. I owe ali i have and am to this motto: ‘Stick to your bush.’ ” * General News Items. Helmbold denies that he fan lunatic. Philadelphia thieves rob blind peo ple.
