The Queer Mr. erson. 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.

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.
