Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton's
manuscript is a j#y to the soul of editor
and compositor, written in a clear, uu-
ahaded, perfectly legible liand, pahetu-
ate J, capitalized oa<l paragraphed with
the utmost exactness. She sometimes
tells with glee and pardonable pride
how, when aho was less, known to famo
than now, her health was proposed by
George William Curtis*nt a New York
press dinner, as the contributor who
furnished perfect copy.
By means of foe suuilo reproductions
everybody is familiar with the small,
elegant chirography of Longfellow and
Whittier’s rather tcrawly, unshaded
hand. The manuscript of the former
was neat and precise, thpt of the latter
suggests that it has been windswept.
There was a certain resemblanco be
tween the writing of Whittier nnd that
of Emerson, but the latter was smaller
and more compact in character.
Dr. Holmes’ 'manuscript, trig nhd
tidy its i*s author, is in a small, running
hand, which gives one the impression of
having !>ten written with great ease and
rapidity.
Mrs. Mary L. Booth, editor of Har
per's Bazar, writes in unovon, easy
characters, not difficult to rend, al
though her comr is less legible than her
letters. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe’s liter
ary work goes to the printer in writing
wholly unshailed and with seperato let*
tors often twisted a d crushed out of
shape, yet offering no especial difficulty
to the compositor. Mrs. Celia Thaxtor
writes an odd, back-handed chirography,
with a margin on the left, but running
sharply to ihe edge of the paper ou the
right.

The Curfew Heroine.
“Cm tew skill But ting to-night" told in
pre-so. ■
The story that is the Lnsisnf the
well-known poem, “Curfew Shall
Not Ring To-night," tohl iu prose
is as follows:
It lacked quite half an hour lo
curfew toll. The old bell ringer
came in from under the wattled
roof of his cottage sloop nnd stood
with uncovered head in tlm clear
Rwccl scented air. lie had grown
blind nnd deaf in the service, but
his arm was ns muscular ns ever,
and he who listened this day mark
ed no loitering in Ike heavy metnlic
throbs of the cathedral bell. Old
Jasper hail livul through many
Ciinnges. lie had tolled out the
notes of mourning for good Queen
Bess, nnd with tears scarcely dry
be had rung the tiding, of the coro
nation of James. Charles 1. had
been crowned, reigned, and expia
ted Ida weakness belorenli England
in Jasper’s time, and now lie who
under army held all the common-
tho long stretch of mcor with tho
purple shadows upon it. tho green,
straight walks of the village, tho
birds overhead,and even the daisies
at his feel lie saw. But nil I more
vividly than all, ho saw tho great
rod sun with its hazy veil lingering
above the trees as though It pitied
him witli more than human pity.
lie was a God fearing and a God
serving man. lie had long made
liis peaco with heaven. Nothing
stood between him and death—
nothing rose pleadingly between
him aud lho9c who were to destroy
him but the sweet face of Lily lie
Vt-rc, whom,he loved. She had
knelt at Cromwell's Icet and plead
ed for his life. She wearied heaven
with her prayers, but nil without
avail.
Slowly now the great sun went
down. Slowly the last rim was hid
beneath the greenwood. Thirty
seconds more and Ids soul would
be with God. The color did not
forsake .-is checks. Toe dark rings
of hair lay upon n warm brow. It
was Ids purpose to diu as martyrs
with every pull of the great rope
it crushed into tbt
wealth in the hollow of his hand, , in( | brave men die. What was life
ruled as more than monarch, nnd
still the old man witli the Imliit of
a long life upon him rang his matin
and sorrow.
Jasper stood all alone now,lifting
his dimmed eyes up to the tartly
dappled sky.
The wall of his memory seemed
so written over—so crossed nnd re-
crossed by the annals of Lho years
that had gone before, Hint there
seemed little room for anything in
the present. Little reckoned lie
that Cromwell’s spenrsmen were
camped on the moor beyond the
village—that Cromwell hlmsell
rode witli his gtmdsincn a league
away; lie only knew that tho la-ll in
tower had been rung when William
the Conqueror made curfew a law,
had been spared by Puritan nnd
Roundhead, and that his arm lor
sixty venis bad never failed him at
even-tide.
He was moving with a slow step
toward tho gate, when a we man
came hurriedly iu from the street
nnd stood beside hint; a lovely wo
man, but with a face so blanch“d
that it scqmud carved ill the whit
est of marble,"with iff its round-
ness and dimples. Hor great, sol
emn eyes wero raisod to tho aged
focc in pitiful appeal, nnd the lips
were forming words that he could
not understand.
Speak up, lass, I am deaf and
cannot iiear your chatter.”
“For heaven's sake, Jasper, do
not ring the curfew bells to night."
“Wlmt! na ring oui few? Vou
must be daft, lassie."
“Jasper, for sweet heaven's saku
for my sake—lor ono night iu
all your long life forget to ring the
bell! Fail this ouce and my lover
Blind live, whom Cromwell says
shall die at curfew toll. D-> yon
he ir? My lover, Richard Temple.
Sec, Jasper, here is ray money to
make your old age happy. I sold
my Jewelry that Lady .Maud gav<-
me. and the gold shall be yours for
one curfew.”
“Would you bribe me, Lily De
Verc? Yc'ro a changeling. Y e’re
na the blood of the I’lautag nets
in ye're veins as yero m->tbcr had.
What, corrupt the bell ringer under
her majesty, good Queen Bess?
Not for all the gold that Lidv
Maud could bring me! Babes Imvc

died before now at the ringing of

which the Jotters are all well formed,
hut which are so small that one almost
that he liould eling to it ? Ue al
most felt the air pulsate with tho
first, heavy roll of the death knell.
But no sound enrao. Still facing
the soldiers witli his clear grey
eyes upon them lie watted.
The crimson banners in the west
were paling to pink. The kinc
had ceased their lowing, and* had
been leathered into thc riek yards
A.l nature had sounded her cur
few, but old Jasper was silent!
Thu hell-ringer, witli Ids gray
head yet bared, had traversed baft
the distance between Ids cottage
and the ivy-covered tower when a
fin m went Hitting past him, with
pale, slindowy robes tlouliug round
it, and hair that tho low western
lights touched and tinted B9 with a
halo.
“Ah, Uulduli, Iliilitali I" tbu old
man muttered; “how swiftly she
flies? 1 will come soon, dear. My
work is almost done."
Hulilnh was tho good wife who
hud gone from him in her early
womanhood and for whom ho had
mourned all his long life. But tho
Ibslins form was not Htdduu’e. -fo
was Lily I)o Verc, hurried by a
sudden and desperate purpose to
ward tlm cathedral.
“So help me God, curfow shall
not ring to-night I Cromwell and
Ids dragoons may come this way.
Once more I wilf kneel at bis feet
and plead."
Site entered tho chnroli yard. She
wrenched frpm its fastening the

feet the steps; her bcait Hiked up
to God for Kiuhard's deliverance
from peril.- The bats flew out and
shook the dust of centuries from
tho black curving. As she went Up
aho caught glimpses of the interior
of the great building, with its
grained roof, its chevrons and clus
tered columns; its pictured saint
and curved image of the virgin,
which the pillages of ages had been
spared lo be dealt with by time, tbo
most relentless vandal of nil.
Up—still—up—beyond the rain
bow tints thrown by tho stained
glass across her death-white brow;
up—still—up -past open arch, with
-rilllu and gnrgoyles staring nt her
from under bracket and cornice,
witli all the Iddcouancss and modl-

asking, while the gentle Lily lie
Vere, distant kinswoman nnd poor
companion or her, had, without
seeking, found the treasures of his
true love and held them fast. Then
lie had joined the army and made
ono af tbe pious soldiers whose
evil passions were never stirred
hut by sign or symbol of poetry.
Bnt a scorned woman's hatred
bad reached him even tXcre. Ene
mies mid deep plots had compassed
him about nnd conquered him. To-
nig ht he was to die.
Tlie beautiful world lav as a vivid
picture before him. The dark green
wood aliove the rocky hid where
Rohiu Hood and h.s ineiry men
hail dwelt; the rocy castle with
its drawbridge and square towers,
world; but still up.
. lii-rbrcalli was coming short and
grasping. She saw through an open
space old Jaspir cross tlie road at
the loot ol the tower. Ou, liow
far! Tbe seconds wero treasures
which Cromwell, with alt Ills blood
bought commonwealth, could not
purchase Irom liur. Up—all—
I here, just aliove her with its great
brazen mouth and wicked longue,
the bell hung. A worm-eaten blook
for a step, and one small white
hand had clasped itself abovo the
clapper—ilia other prepared, at tbe
ticmhlc, to rise and clasp its mate
and tlie feet lo Bwing off—and thus
she wailed. Jasper was old and
slow, but lie was sure and it came
at mst A faint quiver and the
young feet swung from their real,
and the tender hands clasped for
more than tho precious life the
writhing tiling. There was groan
ing and creaking of the rude pul
leys aliove, and then the strokes
came heavy nnd strong. Jasper's
hand had not forgot its cunning,
nor kls arm its strength. The ten
der, soft form was swung and dash
ed to an I fed. Hut she olung' to
nnd unressul the cokl, cruel tiling.
Let one stroke come and a tbous
anil might follow—for it’s fatal
work woutd be done. Sho wreath
cd her white arms about It, so that
tbe flesh. It tors
wiunded and bruised her, bnt then
In tho solemn twilight ths brave
womnn swung and fought with the
curfew, and God gave her victo
ry.
The old bell-ringer said to him
self: “Aye,Quldah,mv work is dost
Tho pulleys are getting too heavy >
tor my old arms, my ears toobave
failed me. I dinna'bear one stroke
of tho curfew. Dear old belli It
is my curs that have gone false, aud
not thou. Farewell old friend."
Aud Just beyond the worn pave
ment a shadowy form again went
flitting past him. There were drops
of blood upon the while garments,
and the face was like the face of one
who walked in her sleep, and her
hands hung powerless at her side.
Cromwell paused with his horsemen
under the dismantled Maypole be
foro tbe village green. He saw tbe
man who was to die at sunset stand
ing up in the dusky air, tall os a
king and beautiful ns Absalom. He
cuzcd with knitted brow and asirry
eve, but his lips did not give utter
ance to the quick command that
trembled on them, for a girl, camo
flying toward him. Pikeman and
archer stepped aside to lei. her pass.
She threw herself upon the turfat
the horse's feet;shelifled her bleed
ing and tortured bands to his gaze,
and once more poured out her
prayer for the life of herlover; with
trembling lips she told him why
Richard still lived—why the enrfew
hnd not sounded.
Lady Maud, looked out of her
latticed widow at the castle, taw
the great protector dismount, lift
the fainting form In his arms and (
hear her to Cor Jcver. She: taw ’ 1
tlie guard release their prisoner,
end she hoard tlie shouts of joy si
his deliverance; then she welcomed
the night that shut tlio scene oijt
from her envious eye and sculptor-'
ed in Itsgloom.
At tlio next matin bell eld Jasper
died, and nt ourfew toll be was laid
beshlo tlio wifo who had died in hit
S outh, but the memory of whom
