Fhe bells of earth go sounding on From many an ancient steeple, Telling their tales of joy and woe To all the waiting people: In merry strains of festal mirth They cheer our hours of gladness, Or wail their cry, when midnight flame* Ara raging in their madness. So on they ring, these bells of earth, With note that never changes, But over all the chords of life Their mystic music ranges. To day they mourn a nation's loss, la heavy moons of sorrow, Hut chant the tripping wedding march In gladsome tones to-morrow; To-day they sing of victory, With banners goyly flying; Tomorrow requiems for the slain On all the winds are sighing. So on they ring, these bells of earth. With note that never changes, Cut over all tha chords of life Their mystic music ranges. How gently, on the morning air, The Sabbath bells are calling; Bow softly, at the hour of prayer, When evening dues are falling: But when death's sad procession moves. And bells ure slowly tolling. How mournfully upon the ear Those waves of sound come rolling. &o on they ring, these bells of earth. With note that never changes, But over all the chords of life Their mystic music ranges. Their note Is one—but human souls, All thoughts and passions blending, Dan turn the music at their will, To each emotion bending; These songs from turret and from tower Which o'or the laud are ringing Are echoes from the self-same song, Which every heart is singing. So on they ring, these bells of earth, With note that never changes, But over all the chords of life Their mystic music ranges. — I. X. Turbox, in Vongregationaliat. HELEN TaKEMAN; -OU,- Tho Story of a Young Girl’s Strug gle With Adversity. BY JOHN R. MUSICK. Author of “The Banker ok Bedford," “Walter Brownfield," Etc. [Copyright, lim, by A. X. Kellogg Xeutpuper C'O.] CHAPTER VII.—CONTINUED. “Farewell, Helen, my dear, but will you leave Bo word for brother War ren?” Helen paused a moment, while a look of pain overspread hen face, then, struggling to keep b:iek the tears, she said: “No! no! I have been very wicked to think so much about him —it has caused this trouble already.” Turning about she started down the road, accompanied by the little cripple. Rose stood ami watched them as they passed over the hill moving very slowly, for little Amos was unable to go fast, and then she sobbed: “Oh, God! will father and mother ever be forgiven for this wrong?” Bursting into a fresh llood of weep ing, the kind-hearted Rose threw her self down in a fence corner, to be aroused a moment later by a thunder peal which seemed to shake the earth to its very center. CHAPTER VIII. SHELTER WITH AN ENEMY. Helen Lakcman watched with some anxiety those great black clouds rapidly spreading over the horizon. Little Amos hurried along as fast as lie could ; the terror of being out in a thunder storm made him tax his strength to the utmost. Struggling and panting up the hill, he looked his sister in the face with an anxious look, and said : “Sister, do you reckon it will catch us?” “I hope not, brother. Let me carry you on my hack, w ill you not ?” “No! no! no!” said the cripple; “you have that big carpet-bag with all our clothes in it—that’s enough for you without carrying me.” “But you can carry the earpet-bag and I carry you.” “That won’t make it any better,” gasped the boy, panting from bis exer tion. The sun, which had shown through a rift in the cloud, was soon obscured, and a heavy peal of thunder rolled along the western horizon, mak ing the earth tremble. “Oh, sister,” cried the despairing child, “it will catch us—it’s cornin’.” “We will go as fast as tve can,” said Helen, her face white with terror as she beheld the black cloud. “Sister,” little Amos panted, “don’t you think the Day of Judgment is coinin’?” “No, brother dear, only a heavy thunder-storm.” Wild and angry darts of lightning shot athwart the sky in almost every direction and the thunder became in cessant. Great drops of rain began to fall, striking the road “spat-spat,” and sending the dust in little clouds with each fall. “We can’t get nowhere, sister,” pleaded little Amos, in despair. “That large oak at the side of the lane will shelter us,” cried Helen, seiz ing her brother in her arms. The rain had now begun to fall in torrent* while the heavens were lurid with lightning flaslscs followed by deaf ening thunder peals. Helen, bearing the boy, bis crutches and the heavy carpet-bag, run the gauntlet of fire-darting lightning to the tree, where they were only partially PETE, THE PEDDLEII. sheltered from the rain and in constant peril from the lightning. A tree not a dozen rods away was shivered from its branches to its roots, and both Helen and the child so shocked they fell to the ground. “Oh! sister, we will lie killed, we will be killed,” cried Amos. “Then we will go to Heaven, brother dear,” said the brave girl, smiling in the midst of the storm, “)ou want to go there, don’t you ? ” “But 1 don’t want to go this way.” “Don't 1m: alarmed, little $ brother. God is near. He rides on the tempest and can shield ns from harm.” “Oh ! sister, pray for us.” Helen prayed fervently for God to spare them—not only from the dangers of this tempest, but from greater storms t>f sin and temptation. The tree afforded them but :i pool* shelter, and they wen* soon soaking wet. Ihe storm abated. Tiie rain si. ill fell, though not in such torrents, and it had grown considerably cooler after the storm. Both Helen and the little crip ple were shivering with cold. ••it ha< almost stopped now, let us go on,” said Helen. “Where will we go?” asked the trembling boy. “I do not know; we must not stay here at the roadside, we must lind a shelter some where.” “1 am ready, sister, to go anywhere with you.” •• Let me carry you.” “No! no! 1 can walk.” “ But see the road is muddy now from the rain, and you can not go fast on your crutches. Please let sister carry you.” At this moment a merry voice was heard singing: Vorne all you darling ladles. Remember what my trade is— To please you I will try, T have ribbons and I've lace3 i\> adorn your pretty faces. So of Pete.'the peddler, buy. “Although I come nearer, You see I'm no dearer Than the man who keeps the store. I can sell a dress and trimmin' Villi a costly table linen Cheaper than ever before.” The song ami voice were both famil iar to Helen. The song was Pete the peddler 'sown composition, whether it was original or merely a parody fixed up to tit Pete, no one knew, but it suited his business, and he sang it. She knew it was Pete before lie came in sight around the lane with his large pack on liis back, and an oil cloth spread over it to keep it dry. He paused a moment when lie saw Helen and her little brother and gazed at them in wonder. “Well, say, now, what in the name o’ common sense are ye doin’ out here in the rain?” lie stammered, removing liis pipe from his mouth. “We are going somewhere,” Helen answered. “Ye are, well where are you goin’ ?” coming from the muddy lane to the tree where they were standing. “I don't know,” Helen said, sadly, “we are hunting anew situation.” “Anew situation,” and Pete knocked the ashes from liis pipe, “ wan’t the old one good enough ?” “Yes, good enough for me, but I was not good enough for it.” said Helen, sadly LITTLE AMOS OX THE FEDDLEIi’S PACK. “Oh yes, I understand now,” said Pete, removing his cap and scratching his iron gray head, “I can see through it jist like it were five-ecnt calico. Uinph! Uinpli! They didn’t tell ye back to the farm house why ye were discharged?” “No—except they did not want a girl.” “Well, perhaps they didn't; and so 3'e don't know where yer goin’?” “No sir.” “Well, if ye’ll come with me I’ll see that ye hev a night’s lodgin’. I’m a goin’ to Mr. Arnold’s to stay all night, an’ it’s the nearest place for ye.” “But Pete, I do not want to go there, lie is the man who ruined us—and— and took away our home. Oh, I never want to get in his power again.” “I know lie's shoddy, lie’s a lazy piece o’ goods at best, idled up with starch an’ colors not fast by any means, but then, when lie’s paid for a night’s lodgin’—l don’t know any other house ye could reach afore dark.” “Would it be right for me to go there ?” “Sartinlv, this child would die afore morning out o’ doors, an’ ye must either go there or back to Mr. Stu arts.” Helen had determined not to go back to Mr. Stuarts, be the consequences as they might, and was forced to seek lodging under the roof of an eneni}’. Better, perhaps, would it have been to have died jn the woods, than for that poor girl to have gone near the house of Janies Arnold. “Well, boy, mount up here on my pack an’ I’ll carry ye,” said Pete, in a voice so cheerful that little Amos laughed in spite of his suffering. Helen helped him on the pack, which the peddler had not unsluug, and then gave him his crutches while she took up the heavy carpet-bag. “They'll think I’m the organ-grinder man, little boy, and yer my monkey,” said Pete, with a laugh so hearty that Amos joined him, and a smile ilitted over the sad face of Helen. The road was very muddy, and trav eling difficult. It was fully three fourths of a mile to the house of Mr. Arnold, and the roads were in such a ter rible condition that Helen Lakeman, with the large carpet-bag, was almost exhausted when she reached it. Pete, the peddler, never seemed to tire, lmt sung snatches of comic songs as lie plodded along, for the amuse ment of the boy. Helen was very much afraid that he was tiring Pete out, and begged the peddler to let him walk, but the good-hearted fellow de clared lie was “as fresh as the colors on his new bit calico, and clear through without fadin’ or ravelin’.” The house was reached at last, and Mrs. Arnold, with her glasses oil and nose high in the air, met them at the door. CHAPTER IX. SHE IS THE THIEF. •‘Why, who are these, anyway?” the portly Mrs. Arnold asked, giving her head a / supercilious toss. Helen, muddy and bedraggled, was hardly recognizable, while the miserable child on the peddler's pack scarcely looked like a human. “Don't ye know me, Misses Arnold?” Pete asked. “Yes, this is Pete, the peddler, an’ lemine see; why, ain’t this Helen Lake man?” “It is,” said Helen, with all the spirit she had at command, for some how she regarded Mrs. Arnold in some way as the author of her present mis erable condition. r “Why, yes, it is. Poor child! what in the world brought you out iu the rain?” said Mrs. Arnold, looking first down and then tossing her head high iu tin* air. “I started out to lind a new situation. and we were caught in the rain. Pete came along and kindly offered to assist un this far.” “Well, now, Helen. I just need a girl the worst kind for a few weeks, and if you will stay here I will give you good wages,' 1 said the artful woman, who, even then, was revolving a plan in her miml by which Helen could be “shipped out of the country.” She knew it would not do to let her go to Jonathan Evans’, across Sandy Fork creek, for they wanted a girl the worst kind. By some means she mus. be detained a few days until a situation could be found for her where Warren would never dis cover her again. “Why, bless me! child, you are just as wet as you can be, and all bedrag gled, too. Won’t 3*ou go in to the tire ? There’s a good one in the kitchen, and this poor, little, half-frozen child with you,” said Mrs. Arnold, in her assumed sympathetic manner,.while she kept her head well elevated in the air, to peep under her spectacles. “B}* your leave, Mrs. Arnold,” said Pete, “ I'll put down my pack in the hall and go in the kitchen, too.’’ “Of course, Pete, do so ; you know enough to make 3'oursclf at home here.” “Yes, an’ a most anywhere else,” placing his pack of goods in the hall. Helen sat by the kitchen stove hold ing her shivering brother on her lap. There was a struggle going 011 in her breast. Ought she to stay at the house of Mrs. Arnold ? Her pride revolted at the idea, for she knew she would be subjected to every humiliation. The proud liallie despised her as she did the worm that crawled beneath her feet. But then, where else would she get employment by which to sustain herself ami brother ? This feeble little fellow could not go far, and he was not capable of enduring any hardships. Alread3* lie had a dry, hard cough, and his cheeks burned with ail unnatural heat. Still he shivered, until his clothes were dried through. Then Maggie, a cross servant girl, gave him some sup per and showed Helen a miserable room over the kitchen with a miserable bed in it. She went to bed supperless, for she was almost overcome by her anxieties and humiliations. She slept that dream less, 3'et unhealthful sleep which some times come to disturbed minds, and seems to leave them at morning in a ■worse condition than they were the night before. She found her brother somewhat refreshed by his slumbers, though liis little cheeks looked pale and wan. His bright blue e}*es had lost something of their luster. It was with considerable anxiety that she noticed the change in her brother. Poor little cripple, al though a clog to hold her down to slavery and drudgery, she loved him, oh, how dearly she loved him! She would enslave herself, suffer all man ner of insults for that deformed boy who had been a cripple from infancy. “Are 3*oll going to stay here?” Pete asked her after breakfast, as he was getting his pack ready. “Yes, Pete, I can do no better,” the girl said. “You’ve got a hard row to hoe now, or I don’t know picayune calico when I see it.” “I know it,” answered Helen, her head bowed in her hands: “but God will give me strength to endure it, and poor little brother is not able to travel.” “Well, gal, when I was in Chicago, I met Warreii Stuart and promised him to kind a look after yo. He didn’t imagine it would come to this, I know. Now, ef \e ever need a friend I’m the man for 3 0 to call 011.” “I will not hesitate to inform 3*oll when it is necessary for one to befriend me,” said Helen, sadly. “No one, however, can help me now. 1 must earn my own wav.” “Oh yes, I know. I know,” Said Pete. Then, in an undertone, lie added: “Don’t let ’em get aii3* advantage o’ye, or they’ll give cotton for woolen fillin’ even - time, an’ ye watch that gal, Miss liallie. She’s a tiger cat, and mad as get out because ye stole her beau.” Helen hardly blushed at this for she felt too sad. She had made no effort to capture the man 011 whom Miss liallie had set her heart, and regarded her victory as a calamity. When Pete was gone and shb alone, she said: “Oh, why was I not boi'n hideous? Why am I so unfortunate.” Maggie was allowed a week’s vaca tion to visit her friends in Newton, and Helen allowed to take her place. “At the end of that time I'll have von a good permanent place*” said Mrs. Arnold. Helen was soon busy* in the kitchen, and her mind so engrossed that she al most forgot a part of her misery. Lit tle Amos sat in a large chair near the kitchen stove, his little cheeks red, while lie coughed a dry, hacking cough. Helen had wrapped her faded shawl about his shoulders, and talked as cheerfully to him ns sire could. “I don’t like this as good as I did at Mr. Stuart’s,” said the little fellow, “there’s no angels here, sister.” “You will come to like this better when 3011 are here longer, little brother.” “I don’t think I will; there’s no angels here.” “There are no angels anywhere save in Heaven,” said Helen, cheerfully, as she pinched the pie dough around the edge of a fresh-made pie. “But they were good enough there for angels to come to me in 1113* sleep, sister; no angels will ever come to me in my sleep here, the people are too bad.” “You must not talk too much, little brother; 3*oll are not well, for you took eolil in the rain yesterday.” “Yes, but don't mind me, sister, don't mind me,” said the patient boy. At this moment Helen heard the rough voice of Mr. Arnold, in the hall. “liallie, if 3*oll are going with me to town to-day, I want you to hurry up,” he said. “I will be ready soon, father.” “What makes you so long?” “I can’t find one of 1113* bracelets.” ‘ls your bracelet gone, liallie P” The last voice was that of her mother, who was just entering from the hall. “Yes,” cried the vexed Hallie. “Where is it ?” “I don't know; I laid it here last night.” “Where ?” “Right here 011 my dressing case.” “Yes, that's so, father,” said Mrs. Arnold to Mr. Arnold, who stood at the door, whip in hand, ready to go. “There was a frown on his florid, freckled face, and the red or roan col ored beard on bis chin stuck out straight. It was a common remark that Judge Arnold carried his chin as high in the air as his wife did her nose. [to be continued.] —Silence may lie golden, but mutes are rarely millionaires.
