The Queer Mr.

Em-
BT GAGE HEMPSTEAD.
One lovely day in June, just as the sun was
setting and flinging myriads of golden beams on
water and city and islands, a proud sh.p steam
ed into Charleston harbor. She had evidently
had rough passage, for marks of a perilous voy
age were seen in her outwardly as well as in tbe
weary faces of the brave tars.
Some forty or fifty first-class passengers were
grouped on deck, eagerly tooking at the new
scenes in this new Western world. In the midst
of them all, stood a young, fair girl, alone but
not friendless, for these strangers hearts had
warmed towards the gentle young crea nre
whose story had touched the fine chords of their
nature. They had witnessed at Liverpool the
heart-breaking farewell between this girl and
her mother and little brother and 8 ' 8ter ’ ha< J
learned the necessity which forced her across
the seas to win the meai.s that would comfort
the dear mother's declinmg years.- Each En
glish heart felt itself throb in kindest protection
over the lonely young wanderer, and now that
she was at the desired haven they looked" ith
interest for the uncle who was to take her in
charae and pay her the handsome salary which
had enticed her from the dear old English oot-
tB On the left was the Battery with its throng of
happy promenaders and delicious music coat
ing far out on the water. The splashing waves
glittered like billions of diamonds heaped upon
each other, in the soft sunlight. Here there
every where tiny crafts bounded over the billows.
Smoky, begrimed ‘tugB’ rode beside proud
ships, while from every side the strangers in
the English ship, Eastern Pearl, heard the dul
cet tones of people in every phrase ot life. I he
negro chanting in tuneful voice his wierd boat
song, the youths and maidens calling to each
other in the soft, mellow tones of his fair, beau
tiful country, gave the strangers a far sweeter
melody than that which floated to them from
the Battery.
A portly, pleasant looking man of fifty, was
soon in the Eastern Pearl scanning eagerly the
strange facep. . . , .
‘Ah’’ exclaimed he, ‘this is Mary s daughter,
I know it by those eyes,’ and proudly he clasp
ed the, now no longer lonely girl, in his arms.
Emma Penmore, for such was her name, bade
her fellow voyagers farewell, and as ahe felt the
warm pressure of each hand, it seemed to her
she was severing the last chords that bound her
to dear old England.
Through the mazes of people that poured out
to the Battery, Emma was whirled like one in a
dream, to the house that was to be her future
home. A pleasant place it was, with one end
towards the street, after the manner ot many
Charleston dwellings. She was welcomed by a
Carolinian aunt with warm aflection.then a pretty
room was given her and she was left as she yearn
ed to be, alone with her own crowding thoughts.
That evening at table, she saw the fresh, rosy
children, who were to engage her time a few
hours each day. She was also introduced to a
Mr. Emerson, a tall, dark-eyed man who seem
ed to be a friend of the family.
Tbe next morning after breakfast, Mrs. Pen-
more said:
‘You will find this Mr. Emerson a very queer
persoD, Emma. We cannot understand him at
all and there are some who find fault with his
unaccountable ways. Still he is a gentleman,
and as long as he prefers it, will stay here.
Emma, with a heart full of many thoughts, had
scarcely noticed the stranger, except that usu
ally his dark eyes were dreamy and slum
brous,until some thought seemed to illume them
when they would sparkle and glow in w ondrous
beauty. In these firRt days.he never sjtctke >«
her except in the usual courteous daily greet
ings. Sometimes, however, she would invol
untarily look up to find his splendid eyes fix
ed upon her, all their slumber gone, and a lu
minous, beautiful expression filling them. Her
own shy glance would send the hot blushes to
her cheeks as her eyelids drooped, but she felt
his gaze was still upon her face as if some secret
charm held it there. As an artist examines the
work of a master,striving by mere sight to probe
the secret power of genius, so this man earn
estly sought to know whence came the beauty
of this crystal-clear countenance, what mind
and heart power gave that charming light to a
face that was already fair.
About a month after her arrival, she was sit
ting one evening in the rear of the little garden
where her uncle employed his leisure w-ith his
choice flowers. A cedar screen half concealed
her from view. Mr. Emerson had likewise
thought of the fragrant bit of ground and sur
prised her as she dallied with her book.
Allow me to enjoy these odors here with you,’
he said as he took the seat she offered. ‘I have
but little sentimentality but I do love flowers,’
he exclaimed, as he picked a geranium leaf and
a fuchia that were near them.
Emma looked up into the strong, handsome
face, questioning.
‘Ah!’ he said, ‘you are thinking how odd it is
for a big fellow like me to love these little things,’
She admitted he had guessed her thoughts.
‘Yes, yes, misunderstood as usual, and by you
too. I am disappointed,’ he spoke half sadly.
‘Do you know,’ he resumed, looking brightly
in her face, ‘that my friends would be highly
amused to see a nose-gay in my button hole?
They never suspect how often I steal from them
to spend an hour iD conservatories, hot-houses
and even a half day in the woods, where nature
is most charming in her wild freedom.’
‘And doubtless you are here to indulge in one
of those solitary pleasures and my presence
mars your enjoyment?’
‘No, no Miss Penmore, I assure you there is
not a flower here that I need, at this particular
moment, more than I do you—-stay and at this
late date let us become acquainted. You see,
though you have been here a month, you have
not spoken to me yet.’
The warm blood crimsoned Emma’s face as
she again took her seat, and murmured a fe^
confused words. It perplexed her to hear this
man speak of forming an acquaintance that by
mere feeling was made already. By those won
derful eyes she had been measured, known,
and speech appeared paltry.
‘There is an acquaintanceship made without
words, and which is not so apt to mislead. You
remember that first night at table, well, then I
begun my A B C in reading your character.
I have gone on steadily ever since. You remind
me of Dickens’ novels—the fiction is such fact,
the imagery so homespun, that is so like what
we ourselves have been, that one is at home
and—too pleased to leave.’
*1 am really obliged to you Mr. Emerson, for
finding me worthy of your mental perusal.
Will you gratify my woman’s curiosity and tell
me wbat you read in my homely English face ?’
• There! homely! You have caught our misuse
of the word already, and yet you know what a
goodly, delightsome word it is in England-
Now in this case I choose to Anglicise the word.’
Once more the blushes dyed Emma’s face, for
had she not won for herself a charming compli
ment ? and did he really know in what sense
she used the word ?
»Yes, you have a very homely face Miss Pen
more. A face full of a sister’s, a daughter's, a
mother’s a wife’s love. Well I understand the
story of your voyage from the old world to this !
for your heart brimming full of love will give
heroism to your actions all through your life.’
Emma was silent. The words from the
stranger gave her deep pleasure. Other people
fudged hfr by her actions, but this man sounded
MSU on tbo
nart of Miss Penmose—and Mr. Emerson but
5£S yet had read him ? Wbat shrewd discerner
of spirits had weighed him in the balance and
could tell what his real impressions were?
From this date their conversations were fre-
auent. Mr. Emerson opeDly sought the society
of the girl, who was beyond the woman ot his
clique in heart culture, if not mental attaiments.
Led off by bis vigorous mind there was no field
of knowledge familiar to him where she might
^ExcepTin these home conversations Emma
had no associations with Mr. Emerson. She
was ignorant of the ways of the world, and did
not vet understand that when he left the Pen-
more’s he was one of them no more, but a mem
ber of that little exclusive circle which calls
itself first and existed in Charleston, as well as
elsewhere. The Penmore’s belonged to that
very respectable class which yet was not le creme
de la creme. Sometimes she glimpsed him as
he passed rapidly through the hall, dressed
superbly and looking extremely handsome, then
as be drove off in a handsome pLicton Mrs.
Penmore would say: ‘He is going to take some
lady to the ball to-night at ’Why she could
not tell, but this information was always pain
ful to Emma though it passed away the next
day when Mr. Emerson was sure to seek her in
the silting room, and talk to her of his weari
ness as if he meant she should bring him
Would such a prize be placed ever again within
his grasp ?
He told her once, when it seemed the facts
were forced from him, that of the thousands of
women he knew she stood one to herself, better
than the best. Strange that with this acknowl
edgement upon hi 8 lips, he was yet going away
for all time—never more to behold her face.
The day of his departure came. He bade Em
ma good-bye indifferently, then, as she passed
on into the dining. ro om, he made a trifling ex
cuse and follow^ her. She was seated at the
table in the pros*| c work of cutting up the chil
dren’s food. loor Mrs. Penmore was in tears
and in the libraty, The servants and Mr. Pen
more were in th, idining room. Mr. Emerson
fumbled over th Rifle that led him here, but
anon from thosefe je n eyes of his saw what he
came to see. ig ma, smooth browed, steady,
could not conceit he few dim marks of a great
emotion. Witho a word Mr. Emerson walked
out ol the room. Was it triumph that dazzled
on his face ? B Mr. Penmore, close to his
heels, was speakii kind, manly words of adieu.
There was no nt for concealment with the
man just ahead.
The work was 1^ for Emma now, but work
she must. TLisi^-e in her heart would never
die she knew too 41, and so she made up her
mind to live with; forever, holding it to her
heart as a high, ei»bling possession.
Days, weeks, m>|hs passed, and her face was
beautilul in a conorated sorrow.
One evening, i the year was closing, the
door opened and iwalked—Mr. Emerson.
‘ I am not poc. nor shall the West be my
home. I love yo and know what you are to
me—then be minerever ?’ he said.
Add this was th|ueer Mr. Emerson.
especial rest.
When the hot summer days came on Emma
became suddenly very sick with fever. The
Penmores hung around her bedside, smitten
with fear. What if death should rob them of the
sweet flower they nourished and prized tender
ly ? To their great joy she was convalescing in
two weeks, and very carefully Mr. Penmore
bore her down to the library, and seated her in
the great chair, where she could see the new
flowers that had burst into bloom during her
illness. Here, with books and flowers they left
her. Presently she heard a footstep—why did
her heart bound, and her hands chill at that
sound ? In a moment, Mr. Emerson was beside
her, his eyes kindling into beauty as he congrat
ulated her upon her recovery. Then quickly
his expression changed and he seemed anxious,
like one with a burdened spirt.
‘Miss Penmore,'he said suddenly, ‘we have
been carrying on a game of lencing. Hereafter
I shall be simply on the defence, remember ’
‘You words are inexplicable to mu Mr. Emer
son, pray explain wbat you mean?’
‘ I mean that ’ here the door opened and
Mr. Penmore s cheerful face was before them.
‘ Ah ! you have company my dear, I see;
somebody to help you with this confectionary,’
and he emptied certain little bundles into
Emma’s lap. Like the world of men. the good
soul hoped to bestow all benefit by his suaar-
plums. They laughed and chatted until a friend
called Mr. ‘Emerson away, when her uncle
again withdrew.
From this date Mr. Emerson's conduct was
changed towards Miss Penmore. He never
sought her in long pleasant talks, never spoke
to her except in the usual daily greetings.
There were indeed times when his manner had
as much the appearance of rudeness as it was
possible for so thorough a gentleman to exhibit
towards a lady.
One day Emma went into the library for a
certain volume, and found Mr. Emerson there.
She made haste to procure her book that she
might leave.
‘ Will you sit here Miss Penmore ? he asked
in his rich, mellow voice.
. ‘I onl^; came for this book,' sjL’
a clear, metallic tone.
‘ But will you not sit here for a little while ? I
want to talk to you.’
The half pleading, half commanding voice
was successful, and Emma sank into the prot-
fured chair. He began to talk as he had done
on their first acquaintanceship—warmly, charm
ingly, as if the last months of cold, almost cruel
indifference had never been. Poor Emma, she
tried hard not to be pleased, but the magic
tones awakened sq much that had been joyous
in her existence in this new world ! Once,
when a silence fell upon both, she looked up
and the face was fairly radiant that she saw.
The eyes that were fixed upon her in the old in
quiring way, had in them a revelation she had
not guessed before. He suddenly turued the
conversation fiom the subject they had been
dwelling upon, and asked her if she knew that
in a few weeks he was to leave for the far west
where certain possessions of his needed his at
tention.
Emma did not know, but this communication
startled her strangely, and she felt he miist
have read the meaning in her face, for a smile
flickered with lightning speed over his beaming
face as he watched her in his old curious, but
just now kindly way. In bis eyes the love light
shone and he evidently wished to speak, but
this easy man of the world was at a loss for
words. Then, as if by an impulse, ho said:
‘ I wish I had money, then I could ask you
to go there with me for always.’
There was no reply needed or asked, so Em
ma sat dumb, confounded for the moment by
this singular revelation.
Murmuring a few confused words, Mr. Emer
son rose and was quickly in the street, while
Emma kept her seat, pondering in her woman’s
way the meaning of the simple words he utter
ed. From this time, Mr. Emerson became
thoughtful, almpst to tenderness. He seemed
earnestly anxious to make reparation for those
months when he had been studiously indiffer
ent and even unkind, when possible. With the
first change in him, Emma had sought to change
also her heart—and leave her actions the same—
for these had been faultlessly polite merely.
How hprd was her task ! Because she had be
come used to the struggle, 6he flattered herself
she had conquered the passion which unawares
had come upon her. Now, when the glorious
eyes beamed upon her again kindly, when some
times the love of the heart leaped into them,
making unbidden revelations, Emma found her
self in possession to its fullest of a love she
thought consigned to its tomb. Sweeping above
all other loves, she could live or die for this man
who had touched the deep fountains of her soul,
and bade the pure springs flow for him. As
she bad crossed the sea alone for mother, sister,
brother, so she could walk the burning Sahara
for the soul who was so much beyond all others
in her heart. Even in those cruel days he must
have loved her. It could not be the want ot
money alone which was to sever them, but some
hidden cause that he could not reveal. To one
like her no barrier could bring the sacrifice ot
love--but through all pains she would strive for
its sake. Still, she never paused to find fault,
or to doubt the high purpose of Mr. Emerson.
The sadly blissful days were to end in a fare
well for all time, and so she treasured the
words, the looks that were all sq gentle now.
Did Mr. Emerson, with his world-wise
thoughts, know all of this. It is certain he
watched the sweet face most closely. He had a
cynical wftji an English habit as it happened, ol
making light of his own severe emotions. When
he laughed at his distresses, Emma saw he was
smarting from the wounds, though he believed
he was concealing the pain from her.
But while he talked of one trial and another,
he never seemed to ponder the matchless spirit,
nor see the great offering it brought him.

A (la's Trito Fairy Land.
BT MAGGIE PEAK, ELEVEN TEARS OLD,
Ada was a littlel who was so fond of fairies
and fairie stories t»he talked,read and dream
ed of nothing elsejehind Ada's home was a
lonely and unfreqted wood, in the centre of
which was a smalle. From this lake in the
middle projected rge mossy stone. Ada of
ten rambled in thjods and wished to cross
from the bank ant'll upon the stone which
looked so invitin
One day, as sheupon the side of the lake
looking at tbe betal rock, a flower upon the
top of it began to Wonderfully in the breeze.
Ada watched it inly, and even while she
looked the flowedted into a green cloud
which gradually ttlie form of a little lady
dressed in emerallvet, trimmed in pearly
dew-drops, who a in silvery tones of Ada:
•Do you not wiego to fairy land with me?
I will take you thtfely, for I am its queen.’
‘I would like tyvery much, kind queen,
but how can I gete?’ said Ada.
subjects to light with them. In the battle many
ot my subjects were killed and as the blood fell
upon the heated ground, this mist rose and has
remained here ever since, and the ground has
never dried.’
They passed on and soon came upon a band
of musicians hovering in the air and playing the
sweetest music she had ever heard.
‘These are my winged attendants,’ said the
queen, by way of explanation.
Next they came to the stream on which were
the prisoners the fairy bad mentioned.
• Now, are you happy?’ said the fairy.
‘ Oh ! yes, so happy.’
‘ Well, then, you have set my long imprisoned
subjects free, for, by making you happy, I have
regained my power.’
By this time they had reached the very edge
of the stream and to Ada’s surprise, their char
iot had changed to a boat and they entered the
water, but before they had sailed half way
across all the poor little fairies flew off the leaves
to which they had been fastened so long, and in
one moment all Fairy Land was filled with re
joicing. Wfien they reached the opposite bank,
the fairy said:
‘ Now, get out and come with me to my castle
for I have a present to make you.’
Ada did as she was bid. They soon came to
the castle of beautiful white marble and ascend
ed the steps. They passed down a wide corri
dor and entered a large and beautifully adorned
room, in the centre of which stood a little table
and upon it a wand like the one which the fairy
carried.
‘Now, I will give you my blessing and this,’
said the fairy, handing her the wand, ‘that you
may be beloved by all. Here Ada noticed that
on the end of the wand was the word ‘Cheerful
ness' written in microscopic letters.
‘ Now come with me to the edge of Fairy Land,
and I will convey you home.’
Taking Ada bv the band they walked indeed
to the edge ot l airy Land,’ which Ada perceiv
ed on reaching, was no more or less than an im
mense plain hovering in the air.
‘Look yoDder,’said the fairy. Ada followed
in the direction of her finger and lo ! she saw at
a great distance a ball of gigantic size. ‘ That,’
said the fairy, *is the world from which you
came, to which you are now going.’
Just then a strong wind came and lifting Ada
up whirled her toward the earth with such ra
pidity as to jerk the wand out of her hand, but
it did not matter foi she had received the gift
of ‘Cheerfulness’ from the fairy. Whirling her
onward the wind at last let her gently down at
the foot of the oak tree in her mother's yard.
Ada ran to the house and told her mother of her
strange adventure, but she laughed and told her
she had been dreaming, but whether dream or
reality, every one acknowledged that Ada was a
better child from that time than she had ever
been before.

Preserving Corpses.
To the Citizens of Atlanta, and Surrounding Cities and
Villages, and to Undertakers in Particular :
Now that warm weather has commenced, and all of us
are continually exposed to sickness and death, I would
say to you, gentlemen, that I have in store a full supply
of Egyptian Balm, which is a sure and effective corpse
preserver. Anybody can administer it, and it makes the
use of Ice useless. One bottle of Egyptian Balm does
more towards preserving a corpse than any amount of
Ice you may be able to procare; keeps it life-like and
natural, to which hundreds of onr own citizens can tes
tify. Call on me before the corpse becomes rigid, or as
soon as death has taken place, and I will guarantee to
keep the corpse for any length of time you wish. Refer
ences given from first families in the city. Office and
ware-rooms, No. 2t> West Alabama street, Atlanta, Ga.
