•‘T ore your neighbor *« yourself”—
So the parson preaches ;
That's one-half the dee-.logue—
So the prayer book teaches.
H df my duty I can do
With but little labor ;
For with all my heart and soul
1 do love tuy neighbor.
Mighty little credit that.
To mv self-denial;
Not to love her. though, might be
Something of a trial.
Why. the rosv light that pe* ps
Through the al)ore her,
Lingers round her lips ; you see
E’en the sunbeams love her.
So, to make my merit more,
I’ll go beyond the letter;
Love my neighbor as myself ?
Yes, and ten times better.
She is sweeter than the breath
Os the spring that passes
Through the fragrant, budding woods.
O’er the meadow grasses.
/.i.d I preached the word, I know,
For it was iny duty
To convert the stubborn heart
Os the little beauty.
Once again success has crowned
Missionary labor,
I'or her sweet eyes own that she
Also loves her neighbor.
liITTLEBJIH.
I know I was a selfish old iflio*, now,
whan I look around me and see the mer
cies given me in my helpless old age, feel
the warm love around me on all sides,
and realize the desolation my own hand
reached forth to grasp, but I was blind
to the future in those days when I so
nearly wrecked all its happiness.
This was how i happened. After Mar
tha died—my wife, I mean, with whom
forty happy years of my life were spent—
aud all my children were dead or married,
excepting Ruth, there fell upon me the
heavy misfortune that has chained me to
this chair, or my bed, for fiftoeu weary
years.
I had been a hard-working man all my
life—a wheelriglit by trade—with a large
family to rear, to clothe, to feed, to edu
cite, aud, ah, me ! one by one to bury in
the old churchyard, till only Mary, James,
aud Ruth, our baby, were left to me.
Mary married, and went with her bus
band to the far West, .Tames took his
small fortune of a few hard-earned dol
lars aud left us for the golden land of
promise, California, and only little Ruth
was left ua. Then the angel of death
came Tor Martha, and only s*x months
latex I was stricken helpless with paraly
sis.
I am reconciled now to my hard fit;
aud can sit here happily, glad that my
eyesight is still good, my right hand free,
and that I have learned in my old age to
love books, to enjoy reading, and even
writing, as I never did in the liard-work
iug days of my youth. But in those first
mouths of helplessness, when even to toss
and turn in my nervous torture was de
nied me, my Bufferings were simply hor
rible. No agony of pain, no torture of
flesh or bone, oould equal the dreadful
pressure upon my strong limbs, that held
them motionless, dead, in spite of my
efiorts to move them one little inch, I
have fainted with the frightful efforts I
have made just to lift once the feet that
had carried me miles in a day with un
wearied case.
But even in that time of rebellions
murmuring, of bitterest repining, there
was some consolation. First, there was
the house aud five acres of laud, my
very own, free of debt or mortgage, and
a small sum in the bank, the interest of
which lifted us above actual want. Then
1 had Ruth.
She was just twenty when her mother
died, and others beside her father tliougt
her face the fairest one for miles around.
She had the bluest eyes, like little patch
es of summer sky, and hair that was the
oolor of corn silk, and nestled in little
baby curls all over her head —rebellious
hair, that would never lie straight under
any coaxing, but kinked np in tangles
that were full of sunlight. Her skin was
white as milk, with cheeks like the heart
of a blush rose, and her smile showed
the prettiest rows of pearly teeth I ever
saw.
She coaxed me from my wicked repin
ing« by codling to aie for directions,
making mo feel that my head was btill
needed to direct the work, though my
feet would never more carry me over the
doorsilL Theu -she fitted up lor uie a
large back room that overlooked most ot
the farm, aud had Silas, our head man,
lift me up every morning, and put me in
a deep-cushioned chair by the window,
where I eonhl see the barn, the poultry
yard, the well, aud the fields of waving
coru and wheat. She made nie feel
myself of importance by giving me thus
the mastereye over my own little domain,
and she brought up her own meals to eat
with me in the room where my infirmity
held are a prisoner.
You must understand what Ruth was
to me, or you will never understand the
simple story I%ave set myself to telling
yon. She taught me to use my right
hand without the left, and if you want
ha appreciate the difficulty, tie your left

arm down for one single hour, and try
how often it will unconsciously strain at
the curds. She brought me books from
the village liliravy, and opened to my
old eyes and brain, a field of pleasure
never before explored. I had rend my
biliTe and the iie\v.~papers all my life ;
but I never knew even the name of bocks,
now my greatest treasures, till Ruth
thought “rending would be company"
for me. Little Ruth, even she does not
know the world she peopled for me in
her loving care for my loneliness.
When she was busy about her house
work, her baking, her washing aud in u
iug, she left nil the doors standing open,
that I might still hear her cheery voice
os she sang or talked to me. Then, when
all her work was done, she would put u
clean white npron over her black dress,
and sit close beside me, stichiug busily
ou the houshold linen, while I road aloud
whatever had most pleased in my moor
ing studies.
h She divisod little dainty dishos to
i tempt me to eat; she put saucers of flow
! ers on my table, that I might cheat my
self into fancying I was out-doors, as
their perfume crept out on the air ; she
nursed me,'petted me, loved me, till even
my mislortunes seemed blessings draw
ing us so near together.
And when she was all the world to me,
all that saved mo from misery, John
Hayes asked me to give him my Ruth
tor lus wife. I could have struck him
dead when he stood before me, a young
giant in strength, with his handsome,
..uidiurnt lace glowing with health, and
wanted to take away my one blessing,
my ouly home-child.
“1 will boa true son to you, Mr. Mar
tin," ho said earnestly. "I will never take
Ruth from here ; but let me come and
share her life, and lift some of the liar
dons from her shoulders.”
I laughed bitterly. I knew well what
such sharing would be when Ruth had a
husband, and perhaps children, to take
tier time and her love from me. But 1
was not harsh. I did not turn this suit
or from my house, aud bid him never
speak to Ruth again, much as I longed
to do it. I work, and more cautiously. 1
let him go from me to Ruth ; and when
lie left her, and she came to me, all rosy
bin-hes, to tell me, with drooping lids
an-.l moist eyes, ot* her new happiness, 1
worked >upon her love and her sense ot
duty till she believed herself a monster
of ungrateful wickedness to think ot»
leaving me or taking any divided duty
upon her hands.
I wept, asking her if she could face
her dead mother after deserting her
helpless father. I pointed out to her
the unceasing round of wifely duty that
would keep her from my side, and
proved to her that the duties of child
mid wife must clash, if undertaken un
der such circumstances as were proposed.
The loving, tender heart yielded to
me, aud John was tearfully dismissed.
Through the warm autumn months,
when the corn ripened and was garner
ed—when our crops were blessed, and
the little bank-fund was increased by [lie
price of the farm produce—Ruth grew
very qniet arid subdued. She was not
sad, having always a cherry word and
pleasant smile for me; but the pretty
rose-tint left her round cheeks, aud 1 no
longer heard her singing at her work.
When I read the best passages in my
books to her, I would see her eyes fixed
dreamily oil some far-away thought, her
work lying idle, till she woke with a
start at my fretful questions.
For I grew fretful and trying in those
days I wanted her to give up woman’s
dearest hopes and sweetest affections,
aud be the same sunshiny Ruth she was
before my hand tore away her love
dreams. I wanted her to put away all
the loving, tender ties of wifehood and
motherhood, and pass her life in devo-„
tion at the arm-chair of a paralyzed old
man. And when she complied with gen
tle, touching submission, then I wanted
her to be the bright, happy girl who hiqj
resigned nothing, and who could nurse
sweet, girlish fancies, with John for a
hero. Au unreasonable old tyrant,
wasn’t I ?
The winter came in early that year,
aud before Cliri.-.tinas everything wa
frozen up tight, and the cold was in
tense. We piled up coal in the stoves,'
listed doors and windows—that is, Ruth
did the work, and J enjoyed the result ,
but there came one cold day—one Fri
day— when it sicmzl m c i.aU, u > iisting
could conquer he cold. Children froz
ou their way to school that day, anti
were found stiff and stark, leaning
against the fences. Food froze on the
tables. Ask anybody in Maine if they
remember that black Friday, and see. if
some motlrer’s eyes will uot till as they
| think of the little soarlet-hooded figures
j brought to their doors, white and rigid,
i that had lifted rosy, round cheeks for a
; kiss only a few short hours before.
I Ou this cold Friday, Ruth hurried
I through her work in the morning, mak
i ing my room the warmest place in the
I house, covering ray arm-chair with soft
woollens, aud moving it near the stove,
j I would have it face the window, for my
; glimpse of out-door life was too precious
i to resign ; but I was not, as usual, near
I it, for Ruth said there might be a
draught.
1 When all was done iu doors, I saw
from my chair Ruth, with a scarlet hood
1 and cloak thrown over her, going to the
well with an empty bucket. She stepped
along quickly over the hard frozen
ground, and I was admiring the trim lit
tle feet, aud the dainty figure when 1
saw her slide to the two steps that, were
above the well-walls and fall. She had
slipped, aud she lay doubled up between
the two wooden steps and the rough
sides of the well, as if she could not
rise. Two or three times her hand
clutched the lower stop and, she raised
herself half way up, only to fall back
again, as if her limbs would not support
her.
And I could only look on powerless to
move to aid her. Oh, the agony of it !
To know she was hurt, unable to rise,
and I helpless ns a log. I screamed and
called for help. Silos was somewhere I
could not tell where and called loudly
for I could see after a time that
Ruth, after her frantic struggles, was
growing drowsy with the. death-sleep of
cold. The scarlet hood drooped more
and more till it rested against the well
side, and the blue-veined lids closed over
her eyes. The sight called from me
such a cry of agony as I thought must
be heard for miles.
It was heard. A moment later, John
Hayes, par.ting and eager-eyed, burst
open my door.
“What is it?” he cried. “I heard
. you calling ou the road !”
“Ruth—Ruth 1” I screamed. “She is
freezing to death by the well 1”
He stopped to hear no more. Out up
on the hard, slippery ground, down the
steps with swift, rapid strides, aud then
I saw him stoop and lift the little scarlet
cloaked figure in his strong arms, aud
come swiftly back, bending his face
down over the senseless one on his arm,
while hot tears rained down his brown
cheeks. He put her ou a lounge near
my chair, and then dashed out for snow.
“Rub her—rub her !” he said. “I am
going for a doctor, aud for my mother 1”
Before it seemed possible he could
have crossed the lots to his home, his
mother was with me, and lifted Ruth
away from the fire to the bed. The doc
tor came, and the two worked, till my
heart sank with utter hopelessness before
the blue eyes opened again or the breath
fluttered through the pale lips.
But it did at last and John joined me
in a fervent “Taank God I”
But Ruth had brokeu her leg, and we
knew she must lie helpless for many
weeks before she <%>uld be our own ac
tive bright girl again. It was an appall
ing truth for me to face, but she was not
ilead nor lying frozen against the rough
well-curb, and I could not but feel
thankfulness far, far above the pain of
knowing her suffering. I was trying to
settle it all in my mind ; to understand
the doctor’s words, while Mrs. Haye s
and the doctor lifted Ruth to her own
room, that opened into mine. They
were away a long time aud John sat be
side me holding my hand iu .his, and
comforting me as if 1 bad not taken the
very hope of his life from him.
“Don’t grieve so !” ho said, gently.
“She will live !”
“Thanks to you 1” I said. “Oh, John
if she gets well, she is yours. Give her
your strong arm for life, John, instead of
my helplessness. I see to-day where my
selfish love has nearly cost her her life !”
“Do you mean that?” John asked,
with a trembling in his voice ; “do you
really mean that ?”
“I do, indeed. Let her stay here,
John. I will not hr a burden on your
purse, for the house aud farm, and all I
have saved, are Ruth’s ; but let her give
me what time and love she can spare
from you.”
“Gladly,” he answered ; “but we will
not wait till she is well, Mr. Martin.
Let me have Ruth for my wife now, to
day !”
“With a broken leg, sick, helpless 1”
“Does she not need me the more ?
Give her to me now.”
But he lias to wait till the banns acre
called in church three times, though he
came to us that day, caring for me with
the tenderness of a son, while his mother
nursed Ruth. They were alone together
as we were, anil they had shut up th<-
nouse, and conic to live with us, never to
.cave again. For oue morning, propped
up with pillows, ltutli was dressed in
white by Mrs. Hayes, aud we bad awed
ting in the litttle room. My chair
moved in, and the neighbors came from
tar and near to hear the solemn words
that made John and Ruth mail and wife.
And happiness lias shed its true light
upon our home ever since.
Mr. and Mrs. Squigg’s Wheat
Cakes.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]
We will call them Mr. and Mrs.
Squiggs. They live on Reading avenue.
Sunday morning Mrs, Squiggs prepared
a lot of batter for wheat cakes, wheat
takes being a iavorite with the family,
especially with Mr. Squiggs, who was
now present iu the kitchen, watching with
hungry eyes the preparations going for
ward. The batter vessel sat on a chair,
and Mrs, Squiggs was preparing the pan
for the frying- She stepped back to the
table for something, when her skirts
: caught the chair and overturned it in a
| flash, sending the batter like a stream of
j snowy Java ou the floor.
| “Mercy,” cried she.
“Thunder aud lightning," shrieked be.
THOMSON, GA. NOVEMBER 3,1875,
“You’ve done it now with your cussed
dress.” ,
“It w asn’t my fault,’’she mapped back.
“Whose fault was it then, you good
for-nothing. careless lout?” he roared,
turning purple in the .'sec.
“What you going to do itlmut it, old
stick-in-the-mud ?” she retorted.
“I’ll show yon what I’m going to do
übout it," lie ground out between his
clenched teeth, as he dashed out of the
room.
Almost in a flash he cam# tearing hack,
bearing with him her best black silk
dress, just made lip, and tty-be worn for
the first time on that blessed Sabbath.
There it was, grasped ruthlessly in his
hands, und his eyeballs aflame with rage.
The next instant he hdd 'falien on his
knees and was mopping the dress into
the batter.
The spectacle nearly paralyzed lier
She felt her brain throb «s if it would
burst. With the cry of a stricken fawn,
she dashed out of the anti then
dashed buck again. She lyid his sixty
dollar dress coat iu her trembling fingers.
She dropped on her knees <ii the opposite
side of the stream of batter, and went to
sopping it up with desperate haste.
He stopped as if struck dumb by u
supernatural power. Could it be possible
that the infuriated woman opposite, lap
ping up butler with a sixty-dallar dress
ooat, just from the tailor, was hiß wife.
Was this mass of passion once a fair
young girl, leaniug ou his breast, caress
ing his face, and sighing happily on his
arm ? Was she the one he had kissed,
and fondled, and dreanj&d of day and
night, but a few short years ago ? The
lumps came into his throat as the past
flashed by him, and he hoarsely cried—
“ What are you doing with that coat,
yob old huzzy ?”
It was her husband saving this—the
man who had once asked for no other
sunshine than the smile of her favor—
the man for whom she had lighted the
parlor fires for two winters —tho man
whose words had once been 'as sweet aud
tender as the roses in the yard.
“Ni ne of your business, you old l'ip,"
she retorted.
“Take that coat out of that stuff,” he
shouted. 1
“I won't,” she cried. / ,
“I’ll make you then,” he yelled, jump
ing up.
“Let’s see you," ah- je-aed, coming to
her feet. • ~ r
There they both stood -he with the
new silk dripping batter, she with the
coat distilling liquid flour—glaring fero
ciously at each other.
“Drop that coat,” he hissed.
“Drop that dress first," lie hissed
back.
“Aro you going to drop it?” came
from his clenched teeth.
“Never, she hurled back to him.
In a flash lie raised the dripping
skirts and brought them sharply down
upon her head—the head he had once so
lovingly, fondly caressed. And what
u head it was now. No sunshine played
lovingly over it, but instead a mass of
batter dissolved at the top, aud went ca
reening down the tresses to the back of
her neck and along her nose to her chin.
A time will come —if only a brief iu
staut—when the sweeter memories of the
past bring their happy pictures distinctly
before us. However hardened and in
different time and trials and vexations
may make us, there are memories which
will be heard und cannot be put aside
unheeded. Aud so she thought, as she
gathered up the coat and fetched him
a lick across the chops which could have
been heard out doors, and which extin
guished the flame iu his face, and left
that object a desolate waste of whiteness
relieved only l>y two half-drowned eyes
and a small section of chin whiskers.
“Guch !” lie yelled, and made for her
with the streaming dress.
“Two can play at that game,” sho
gasped, as she lammed him again. He
rallied, so did she. They fought all over
the room. They battered each other
right and left. The flapping of the gar
ments aud the quick catching of breath,
with an occasional overturning chair,
were the only so in Is made is they dash
ed in anil out of the fray. The batter
filled her hair, and streubid her fvee,
and lay in splotches over her clothing
and the walls. She had less material to
handle than he did, but she made it go
farther. She plastered his liair and Ins
face, aud filled his ears and neck and
mouth with the sticky stub Finally by
one happy hit she filled one of his eyes,
and he, with a yell of mingled pain and
defeat, broke from the room and fled up
stairs, leaving her firmly Draped in the
middle of the floor, a triumphant and
i panting victor of the field.
Neither oue of them will ever forget
the gloaming of their wedding dav, hut
they will never have pancakes agaiu—
never, never ag-.in.
