FACE TO FACE. A Fact Related In Seven Well- Told Fables. BY K. K. FUAWIIJ.OX, Author on “A Git rat Heiress,” “Qmij Ax Last,” “ A Ural Quern,” “ Eajiu’s Dive,” etc., kxo. FABLE THE FlßST. —Continued. “If I’d found things as I left them,” said Stephen, “I wouldn’t have said a word to Patience before speaking to you—though I’ve loved her all my days. But—l’m not much hand at a speech, yet —I wouldn’t have asked her, nor you, if I couldn’t keep her; but, thanks to you, that was the best father a fellow ever had, I can. Island well with the firm I m with; I’ve pot a good salary, and Preston, our senior, was talking of a partnership only two days ago. I’ve had the best of good luck, and I’ve saved, besides; and as I owe everything to you I’ve got or ever hope for,'what ’ ever’s mine s yours. Ah. sir, if you’ll only give me Patience!” Marrish glanced sharply at Farmer Blackthorn from under his brows, turned abruptly on his heel, and went a few paces off, though not out of ear shot by any means. Farmer Blackthorn, still armed with his walking-stick, held out his hand to Stephen feebly. “I’m glad to see you again, lad,”’ said he, “and to hear you’re doing so well. It’s good to hear of somebody doing well these hard times, Hod knows. But as for my lass —you mint put that fancy out of your head. It can’t be.” “Can’t be?’’ exclaimed Stephen; while Patience managed at last to free her hand, and nestling up close to her father, laid it upon his arm, “Can’t be!” repeated Farmer Black thorn. Tim arm, conscious of his daughter’s touch, trembled a little; but the voice was lirm. “I love Patience, and Patience loves me,” urged Stephen, while Patience herself gave a little pressure of the i.ngers upon her father’s sie *ve by way of setting her seal to her lover’s words; “and love her I shall till I die. I want no help to keep her; you shan’t lose her; you'll only have a”—son, he was about to adit, but cheeked himself, re membering what he had been warned; and so hurried ou. “I love work; and for her sake and yours I'll work like ten. I’ll either settle in Millport, if you like to come and live with us there, or I’ll buy or make a business of my own at Hunchester, where there's a lirst-rate county opening, if you’d rath er not come so far away—” “Yes, father,” whispered Patience. “ It’s all true.” Farmer Blackthorn wavered; for lie had a big heart, and lie not only loved his daughter, but be had plenty of room in it for the lad whom he had befriend < and and started in the world—and he ivas proud of the lad, too. Why had not Stephen Harlow been lirst instead of second in the field? “ I'll tell you,” said Marrish, coming forward, “why it can’t be. No—don't look as if ’twas none of my business; it’s as much mine as any man’s, and more. Tom Blackthorn’s just prom ised Patience to another man—never mind who.” “Father,” cried Patience, starting from him, a n 4 with amazement in her eyes. “Av,” said Farmer Blackthorn, “I've promised —to another man—never mind who!” “Patience!” cried Stephen. “Do you understand?” “Young man,” said Marrish, “this is business, not sweethearting. She don't understand, but I do. She’s got to save her father from ruination, like a dutiful daughter; and she won’t do that by marrying a struggling young clerk that’s got to make his way. Eh, Tom Blackthorn? That's how it stands?” “That’s bow it stands,” echoed Farm er Blackthorn, bringing his stick down on the ground. Youth was not likely to suspect hard featured and hard-listed middle age of wanting to poach on what it fondly fancies its own preserves. That Enoch Marrish should be after Patience no more oicurred to Stephen than that January should mate with May—forget ting that eyen that lifts happened now and agaip. Whether Patienoe had pny inkling one can not tell, though one may guess; tut it was assuredly uot for her to say. “Farmer,'* said Stephen to Black thorn, and ignoring Marrish, “I’ve asked Pat’ence, and she's said yes; so who's the other man? I’ve a light No know—aud from you.” Farmer Blackthorn was about to speak; but Farmer Marrish broke in, iu his overmastering way. “ '1 is enough for you, Stephen Har low, that Miss Patience will know her duty and that Tom Blackthorn will keep bis word, Never mind my business; I’ve kcowi) Tom Blftekthgro before you Were bopu,” ‘dioccl Clod!” cried Stephen, ‘‘has it conic to this, that Patience is to be sold, like the cows? By Heaven, it sha'u’t be!” lie was forgetting himself; but who would not have thrown manners to the wind? Fanner Blackthorn choked, gasped and was again about to speak; but again Farmer Marrish, ever on the watch, took the word. “ 'Tis hard lines for you, Stephen. Bui would you have the heart to drag the man thiu’s been more than a pom mo i father 1o you dt'Ope? down into the mil ? Look here; Tom Blackthorn he e inus’: choose between losing Pa th tic ■or losing Leys Crclt. If Patience was to marry you, as sure as eggs Tom Blackthorn would have to quit Leys C.-bT, 1 hat's mortgaged stick and stone, ov-r bead and cars. ’Tis my business that Tom Blackthorn shouldn't be driv en cut of house and home at nigh three score and ten. And I won't see it done, not tf r ail the love nonsense in the w< rid. Miss Patience is to marry mon ey; and Tom Blackthorn is to keep the 1au.1.” Pi.tionee aud Stephen, though their hands woic now apart, held one anoth* er by the ey cm. In hors was growing despair. It tea her duty to keep tta ! land at any cost—that, not ercn love cuu'd deny. But to learn her duty with in the first ornate of giving away her heart—that was hard indeed to bear. If only Stephen had never come back, then, indeed, she might have braced herself to her duty, thrown away her girlish dreams, and made herself a good enough wife to whomsoever her pur chaser might be. But now! Stephen read her heart more plainly than if it had put itself into words; and he returned her look bravely. “A mortgage!” said he. “Ah, it’s my business at Millport to know some tiling about that sort of thing. Every thing's all right while the interest’s paid. What’s due?” “A hundred pound there,’ said Farmer Blackthorn, angrily. “A hun dred pound, and I can no more find it than —” “But I can,” said Stephen, eagerly. “I've got that laid by and more; and if ! ’twas thousands, what’s mine’s yours. And then—Leys Croft won't be mort- I gaged beyond its value, of course. I’ll speak to my people; they'll only be too glad to pay off the incumbrance themselves; they badly want more mortgages for investment, and Leys Croft —I know it by heart, and it’s the best pasture* land iu Englaud, bar none —why, they’ll jump at it; and as for the interest, they'll take my guarantee: especially when I’m one of the firm my self, as I’m going to be*. There, farmer, you can keep the land and Patience, too.” Patience clutched her father’s arm with both her hands, and looked up into his face, while her heart beat so fast that it gave her pain. He looked at Stephen wildly, as if his failing wits were struggling back again. “What’s that? Is that you, Stephen? Who says the land's not to go?” **l do. I'm not asking for Patience now. I’m only asking to do a trifle for you, that have* done so much for me— ever since—always— There, farmer. You shall have the hundred, or what ever it is, as soon as the post can come back from Millport; and Prestons there will make ti e rest all right iu the twink ling of an eye. It’ll be a good bargain for them as well as for you. I’m doing a stroke of business you see; one for you and two for them; and they’re Me. So there's no need for you to say so much as a thank you; I wish there were.” It was FarmerMarrish’sturn to grow pale. What! this young fellow who had left the village without a penny of his own, coming back and talking about paying off' the burdens of Leys Croft as though it were a mere bagatelle? But he could not doubt Stephen’s good faith; the man of business saw only too clearly the feasibility of his rival’s plan, and cursed himself for a fool for having, in his over-assurance, so rashly exposed his own. And then, too, he had been watching Patience; and jealousy, mid dle ag** s jealousy of insolent youth, was fermenting in his soul. “Too late, too late!” he broke in, with the strength of concealed passiou. “Tom Blackthorn has given Lts word!” “But Patience Blackthorn hasn’t,” cried she, darling forward, and with eyes sparkling, “and Patience Black thorn wont! i'll do my best for father, never fear! And as I'm to be bid for, 111 choose who's to buy. I don't know who’s the other, and I won't know. Father, I'm going to marry Stephen. I'm going to marry h'm for the laud and th * money; but he knows I'm go ing to marry him for something else besides.” It is a startling thing to see a fawn stand at bay. Even Stephen, who thought he knew her, was taken aback, while his heart swelle.l witli pride in himself and in her. Farmer Blackthorn raised his hat and wiped his brow. “Enoch,” said he, “you sec —’tis not to be. I can't go against her. I al ways did think ’twas queer of Provi cl nee to part a Blackthorn from the land. And though a Harlow’s no til match for a Blackthorn, I'm proud of the lad I made, and I can't go against the lass, whose mother I wedd *d for true love—an l needs must when the devil drives. You meant well, Enoch; but I did but give half a word, you know, and tl at must go. I didn’t know, you see, she’d given her word before I’d ghen mine*. Give me your hand, Stephen, my lad. How soon will you be hearing from Millport! Lord bless us, what a comfort it is to be able to hold up one’s head agaiu, to be sure!” He was standing bareheaded, looking round at the beloved land, already, by anticipation, enfranchised; Stephen was absorbed in Patience; she was lost in her own thoughts, what ever they were. Else they would have seen a terrible sight which few r of us, thank God, have ever seen: the first spasm of ballled passion and baffled greed on a face made to show it beyond the ordinary power of the transparent masks that cover human souls. That Enoch’s was no ordinary soul was proved by the speed and force wherewith he sup pressed an agony that must otherwise have betrayed him, once for all, to the very simplest eyes. It was hard on him. hideously hard; hut how hard has not even yet beeu told. And yet he, even he, contrived to quench the blaze in his own eyes, and to twist ins lips into a curious kind of smile, as he came forward and shook Stephen by the hand, “I wish you— joy!' ’ said ho. FABLE THE SECOND. WHAT HAPPEN El} TO HIM WHO HELPED A LAME DOG OVER A STILE. Farmer Blackthorn was not the man to tell talcs; and besides Marrish had made a special and most natural re quest that no word should be breathed of his having been a rejected suitor. So much was tine, at least, by way of salve to mortilie l pride; and the debtor could afford to be oven more than generous to the creditor from whom he was so soon to be free. Whatever Patience thought, she also held her tongue about her suspicions, even towards her now plighted lover; for she was a 1 >dy to the core, and was not the girl to make mischief between old neighbors and friends. As for Stephen, excellent man of b..s ness as he was, he no more, as I ha\e a’rvady said, dreamed of a rival in “old ’ Miser Marrish than of—say the most impossible thing that can be named. He .uid his reward, even more than Patience herself could give him. It did his heart good to see how Farmer Blackthorn's back straightened itself; how his eyes brightened; how his voice recovered a note or two of jollity; how he began to swagger aud patronize—, how, in short, though with a certain touch of senility, he became Tom Black thorn of Leys Croft in all his glory once more, One could see, from his behavior under hope, in what at least some of t’.e characteristic causes of his ruin must have lain. For, of course, even though Stephen’s plan should suc ceed to the uttermost, the burden on the land would not be wiped off, but simply transfer; ed from Enoch Marrish to tiie land agents ami surveyors whom Stephen served. Still, it is no doubt better to be indebted to far-away, iru personal creditors thaq to a neighbor under whose eyes one has to live and look a ham and, and who knows the se crets of one’s affairs; and then, in his heart, he did not like Marrish over much, while Stephen’s only fault was that he bad not sprung from land. For a yeoman of the Blackthorn caste would have looked u|x>n marriage with an Earl as a mi salliance if the Peer in question could not liud the root of his pedigree somewhere under a hereditary held. Nor (so inconsistent is human na ture) was this feeling on the part of Farmer Blackthorn a whit the less strong because he had himself con mitteu a mesalliance; his dead wife having been not so much as a country woman, but the daughter of a London tradesman with a wharf somewhere down the Thames. Moreover, the mar riage under circumstances which, though discreditable to neither side, had brought about a lasting breach be tween the then wealthy yeoman and the wealthier wharfinger, which ha l never been healed. Till his unsuccess ful attempt at begging by deputy, no word ha ! ever passed between the two; there had clashed together equal ob stinacy and equal pride. Not even Mrs. 'Blackthorn's death had made them so much as formal friends. It was the Cockney strain, no doubt, Farmer Blackthorn thought, bitterly, which ha l come out in his son Dick, whose name he had ceased to name, and who had gone away, his father and he knew why, and nobody else knew where. Whereas Patience was her father’s child. All such things had Stephen Harlow ample leisure to observe and to reflect upon, for his holiday had grown. The first post enabled him, after a trip to Huuehester, to transfer all his saving) to h!s future father-in-law; not that lie confessed that the very fairly consider able sum whs his all, making light of the gift as a loan in the way of busi ne: s, out of which he saw his own ad vantage; so that the farmer felt as if he were conferring a favor by taking the money instead of receiving one. Pres ently came a letter from Prestons’, au thorizing him to report on the land, the title, and so forth, with a view to their favorably considering what he had proposed. As that business could not be disposed of in a hurry, his holi day became a holiday, indeed, with pleasure enough to make the days well-nigh too snort to crowd it all in. In tue first place, he ha 1 to busy himsell witli surveys, plans, title-deeds, ost mates, aud a hundred other delight ful things of that nature. Then, these being not half enough, he threw him self zealously into the heavier work of bringing the farm back again into work ing order; and this alone took up the whole of one man’s time. But a whole man of him seemed still to remain; aud this lie gave to the personal service of his old patron, doing his best to cheer him up, and to restore the farmer even as he had restored the farm. Then what time was left for his love-making? Just all just as much as if lie had nothing else iu the world to do. Under such circumstances Patience could not find it in her heart to play i the coquette, even for fun. She felt as if she had just shaved the edge of a precipice; as if she had missed misery and found happiness by miracle; and, moreover, being used to such different ways, she regarded all this energy with wondering awe. Stephen going to be a great man indeed! Why, he was alrea ly a great man; there could be nobody like him in the world. She had always liked him. aud had easily learn ed to love him; but w'ho had looked for this from the drunken blacksmith’s boy? It was as if their charity to Stephen, when he was a forlorn little waif, was being repaid them a thousand fold; and she could only thank God for him on her knees, and then sit at his feet in admiration, and thank him for loving her. If poor Dick had only been half like Stephen! She did her best to help him, begging for sums to work and papers to copy; and though she hiuderei him a good deal by her bluu dois, there was the plea-lire of setting them right again. What days those were! And if only poor Dick had been there to see! But even that must come right now. Had not Stephen taken •everything in hand—so how could any thing fail to come right or go wrong? One evening she had a delightful sur prise. Stephen, having been over on law business to Hunche ter, asked her to come out for a stroll before supper. They passe 1 through the yard gate, and were going, at suail’s pace, a'oug the quiet path that leads across the fields to Ihe village, when Patience suddenly stopped and po lited. “ Stephen, look! If somebody’s cows haven’t got to our grass again!” “Nonsense, Patience. Why, there isn’t a broken hedge or a loose gate all round. Somebody’s cows, indeed! Where?’’ “Why, where are your eyes? No— they’re not on my nose, Stephen. They're out there.” “Yes; I see some cows. Naturally, on a farm one does expect to sec cows.” ■•Not on our-.” “Let’s go a bit nearer, aud see. Yes: I see them plain enough now. But fancy a farmer's daughter not knowing her own cows a hundred yards away!” “Stephen, please don t joke about cows.” “ Heaven forbid; they’re much too serious things, I know. Never mind, Patience, I’ll never tell.” “Tell?” “ That Patience Blackthorn didu’t know her father’s cows.” “ Stephen!” “Why, darling, you look at me as if I were talking treason. Don’t you like the look of the beasts? Is there any thing wrong? ' “ Beasts! They’re beauties! I wish they were ours!” “ Tlch, Hey, Presto! yours they are. You've only got to wish, you see. you little witch, and the thing’s done.” “ Stephen, you'oc been buying those cows!” “Take care, little girl, if you wrinkle your brows like that, or so much as -ay one word of money, t ie charm's broke, and you’ll see those cow- spread their wings and lly away—over the mo >u. I oil mind the milking; and nevermind how thugs come. I wish you may nev er have a wish that doesn't come as quick and as easy as that one!” “Stephen—” “My darling?” “Don’t, don’t be too good to ui all! Don’t a;k me to thank you —” “I’ll, ask you not to be a goose. There. Now that’s set:led; and I've got a kiss for nothing at all. Bu: I didn’t bring you out to talk of cows. I've been having a talk with father this morning, and I can’t push out my holi day much longer now. I’ve got 'to go back to Millport, far away, and to get back into harness; and not much chance of another holiday for many a year. Patience, you’ll come, too.” “Stephen! I!” “Who cbe? Yes. We must make our plans, and I’ll tell you what they’ie to Ik*. I've been writing to Prestons’, of course, every day. They won't hear of my leaving them and setting tip on my own ho >k as a surveyor at llun chester, as I’d have chosen t<> do; and sooner than that they’ve made my partnership a settled thing. You see what they think of me up there! That means our fortune’s made. They dou’t want capital—they want me,” he said, with natural and honest pride. “Pres tons & Harlow will pay off' tlie charges on Leys Croft, and become the mo;t gagees them elves, on condition that they manage it themselves for a year at least; that’s but fa r, for it’s in as bad a state as can b.*, and father can’t get it in order again all alone. I’ve talked Jt out with him. aud he agrees. [to be continued.] —A German experimenter, Prof. E. Wollny. has found that s>!l covered with living herbage or dead vegetable matter is colder in summer and warmer in winter than bare soil under otherwise similar conditions. The difference of temperature is greater in summer and lea tin spring and autumn. Bare soil heats more quickly iu the spring and cools more quickly in the autumn than that covered with living or dead vege table matter. Ex-fiov. A. H.

For ten years 1 have been a sufferer from a cancer on my face, which grew worse until the discharge of matter became profuse ami very offensive. 1 been ms thoroughly distrusted with blood purilb rs and pronounced them humbugs, as I had tried many without relief. Finally 1 was induced to use B. B. IV. which was about the Ist of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health and 1 rapidly gained health and strength. The discharge gradually decreased and the cancer became less and less in size until nothing remains but a scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me since I have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony of m.v great improvement, and the scar on my face shows that it cured the cancer. I find that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is recommended and I cannot say too much in praise of this woudetfuf medh iae. I have tried them all, but B. li. B, stands at the top as a blood purilier. The above is copied from the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Watchman, being the voluntary language of Mr. Janies A. Greer, which editor Gantt in dorses. “Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of Athens who had a bad cancer, and his numerous friends thought that he could not live very long, as the cancer was gradually sapping the founda tion of his constitution, but now looks well and hearty 2 Against IS.
