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 (The Mlcßuflie ciileclilij journal. VOL. V. 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.
