The C*Wm r's Story. I have a little story, To tell you all to-day, Jf you will listen quietly, To what 1 have to say. By trade ! am a cobbler, My name is Thomas Brown. And though I’m not a Christian, I Work for God’s renown. 1 used .to he a sinner, Ten thoiwniijl times the, worse i Than what I ,ain at present, i , For now;.l’ve changed my course, j 1 used be so w tekqd, That forking in my shop; My conscience often, made me, Eav down my last and stop. i , i . One niglit in cold December, When working all alone, I canglit myself a thinking | Os Jesus, that dear son, Who gave his life for sinners, Who shed his pryc'jqoa blood, j For us to make atonement And let us live with God, k y? 1 i * Wliile thinking thus, I nodded And soon asleep i fell, | And dreamed of some poor sinner, | „ Whose sold had gone to hell. | I dreamed of all the torments It passed thro’ while ’twasthere, And then how it was rescued, By never ceasing prayer. I dreamed liow blessed Jesus Had washed this wandering soul, And brought it by Ids pleading A lamb into the fold; I And liovv every poor sinner Might least expect to have A portion of the love That to ttiis soul lie gave. My dreams then turned to Satan, IV ho, with his hellish horde, Ilad tempted this poor sinner ] To turn away from God. Then Ip my dreams I Saw them, Approaching toward me: And Heaven being my refuge, For once 1 hunt my knee. I prayed .then long and liiind iy, Before our Father’s throne, That lie would save me quickly, And take me to his home. My eyes then opening wide, I saw ’twas broad day light, And all the imps of Satan, Had vanished from thy sight. ! , -.’ ..I My fears vvue still upon me, And in that dawning day, l swore to give up sinning - And once more tried to pray. I know that Jesus heard me, For ever since that time i When evil thoughts oppressed me, He’d take them from my mind. \ i* »• . Aud ever since that morning, ‘ I’ve been a better man,;. For where I once did yvickedncss. I do what good t can. My iife I owe to Jesus, i And when lie opes the door, I Apd calls repentant sinners, I hope I’ll get to go. 1. . . i • Tills ends' iny little story. The moral, I will say, Is that you’ll never get to God, Unless you learn to pray. And last of all I’ll tell you, Though many may be nobler, you'll never find a better friend Than this converted cobbler. THAT ONE DOLLAR RILL llow it did rain that November \ niglit. None of your undecided ; with hesitating intervals, ias it weie, between; none of your mild, persi-tent patterings on the j j roof, but a regular tempest, a wild | deluge, a rush of arrowy drops and ! \ a thunder of opening floods! Squire'Pratlet heard the rattling tip against the casements, and drew his sung easy chair closer to the fire—a great, open mass of glim mering anthracite, and gazed witli ! a sort of,sleepy, reflective satisfac- at tjie crimson moreen cur i tains, and’a gray cat fast asleep on j the hearth and the canary bird ! rolled into a drowsy bull of yellow down upon its pearch. ‘This is snug,/quoth the ’squire; ’l’m glad.l had the leaky spot in , the barn fixed last week. 1 don’t object to a stormy night once in a while when a fellow’s under cover, and there is nothing particularly to he done.’ ‘Yes.’ Mrs. Pratlet answered. She i was flitting about between the kitchen and sitting room with aj great blue checkered apion tied I I about her waist. ‘I am nearly ready j to come in now. * Well, I c wonder,’ j sotto vcce, ‘if that was a knock at , the door or just a little rush of the j wind.’ She went to the doer neverthe less, and a minute ,or two after j 1 ward she went to her husband’s) ; LAFAVE^TI^K,%E(MIGIA, Til l RSI)AY, MAY 12, IBBIN chair. ’ “ • •« ‘Joe, dear, it's Luke Ruddilove!’ she said, half apprehensively. The squ’re never looked from his read-' ing. 'Till him he has madqa mistake. The tavern is on the second corner beyond.’ ‘But he wants to know if',y<J« will lend him a dollar,’ said Mis. Pratlet. ‘Couldn’t you te’l him no, with out the ceremony of coming to me? Is it likely that L should lend a dol -1 >r or even a ceut, to Luke Ruddi luve? Why, I’d a great deal rather throw it among yon red coals. No —of course not.’ Mrs. iVatlet hesitated. ‘He looks so pinched and cold and wretched, Josiali. He says there is nobody in the world to let him have a cent.’ ‘AH the better for him, if he did but snow it,’ sharply enunciated the old squire. ‘lt he had come to that half a doJfen years ago, per haps he would not have been the miserable vagqbond he now is.’ ‘Wo used togo to sohool together,’ said Mrs. Pratlet gently. ‘He was the smartest boy in the class.’ ‘That’s probable enough,’ said the squire ‘but it don’t alter the fact. _ He is a poor drunken wretch now. Send him about his business, Mary, and if his time is of any con sequence just let ldm know that he had better not waste it coming her? qfier dollars.’ Avid the squire leaned . .Ijgpk in his chair, after a positive fashion, as if the whole matter was settled. Mrs Pratlet went back to the kitchen, where Luke Ruddilove was spreading his poor fingers ever the blase of the fire, his tattered garments streaming as if he was a pillar of vapor. ‘Then I’ve got to starve like any other dog !’said Luke Ruddilove, turning away. ‘But after all I don’t suppose it makes any difference if I shuffle out ot this world to-day orto-moirqw.’ , ‘Oh, Luke, no difference to your wife?’; : ,i ‘Bhe’d be better off without me,’ he said down l^artedly. ‘But she ought not to be.’ ‘Ought, and is, are two different things, Mrs. Pratlet.. ‘Good night; I ain’t going to the tavern,although Pi 1 wager the squire thought I was.’ ‘And isn’t it natural enough that he should think so, Luke?’ ‘Yes, yes, Mary; I don’t say but what it is/ murmured Luke in the samedejectetl tone he used dur ring the interview. ‘Stop,’ Mrs. Pratlet called to him os his hand lay,on;,the door latch, in a low voice./ /Here is a dollar, Lube, Mr. Pratlet gave it to me for an oil cloth to go in fiont of the parlor siove; but I will try and make the old one last a little .loe ger. And Luke, for the sake of your poor wife and little ones at home, and for the sale of old time?, do try and do belter. Won’t jou ?’ Luke Ruddilove locked vacantly at the new bank hill in his hai.d, and then at the blooming young mairon who had placed :i there. ‘Thank yqu, I\|» y, I will. God bless you,’he said, and crept out into the sto'in that reigned with out. Mrs. Pratlet stood looking into the kitchen fire. *1 dare *ay I’ve -lone a foolish thing, but indeed, I could not help it. If he will take i* home and not -pend 4at the. tavern, I shall not miss my oil cloth.’ And there was a conscious flush on her cheeks as if she had done something wrong, when she joined her husband in the sitting room. ‘Well,’ said Squire Pratlet, ‘has that unfortunate gone at last?’ ‘ Y “-’ ■ - ■ . t ‘To the Stoke’s tavern, I sup pose ?’ ‘I hope not, Josiah.’ . ‘l’m afraid it’s past hoping for,’ said the squire shrugging his shoul tiers. But Mrs. Pratlet kept her secret in her own heart. It was six months afterward that the squire came into the din ing room w here Jiis wife was pre serving great red apples into jellv. ‘Well, well,’ quoth he, ‘wonders will never cease. The Ituddiloves have gone away.’ ‘Where ?’ ‘I don’t know—out some- —jl "■" whefe with a colony. Ami they say iAike’s not drank a drop of whisky for six months.’ 'I am gltid of that,’ said Mrs. Pratlet. It won’t last long,' he suggested, despairingly. 'Why not ?’ ‘Oh, I don’t know, I haven’t any faith ir. these sudden reforms,’ Mrs. Pratlet was silent; she thought thankfully that, after all, ] Luke had not sper.t the dollar for liquor. * ,* * * Six moothe—six years; the time sped a’ong in days and weeks, al most before busy little Mrs. Pratlet knew that it was gone. The Rud diJoves had returned to Sequosset. Luke had made his fortune, so the story went, fur off" in Eldorado. ‘They do say,’ said Mrs. Bucking ham, ‘that lie-has bought that ’ere lot down opposite the court house, apiLhe is going to build such a hojqsc as never was. ‘fie must have prospered greatly,’ observed Mrs. Pratlet. ‘And his wife, she wears a silk gown that will stand alone with its own richness ! J remember when Ruddilove was nothing but a poor drunken crature.’ | (l ‘All the more credit to him now,’ said Mrs. Pratlet, emphatically. ‘lt’s to be all of stone, with white mantles and inlaid floors; and he las pat a lot of papers mid things under the corner one, like they do in public buildings.’ ‘Well,, that is natural enough.’ ‘| knew, yet it seems kind o’ queer that he should pot a dollar bill in with the other things. He must have lots of money to throw it (Jwny in that manner.” IBs.pratlet felt her cheeks flush. Involuntarily she glanced at the squire. But he never looked around. She met Mr.,Ruddilove that , after ! noon for the first time since his re turn to Sequosset—Luke himself, save: the demon of intemperance had been completely crushed, and and lis belter nature triumphant at last. He looked her brightly in the face and held out his band, say irg but the one word : ‘Mary.’ Tremulously she replied : ‘I am glad to see you here again.’ When Luke bad overcome his emotions he continued ‘Do you temember that stormy night when you gave me that one dollar bill and begged me not to go to the tavern ?’ ‘ ‘Y«h’ , ‘That night was tbo pivot on yvhicty my whole destiuy turned. Yop were kjpd to me when all others gavejne naught but the cold sjioufder. You trusted me when ajl other tapes were averted. That night t took avow to myself to p"ove worthy of your confidence, and I kept it. I treasured it. up, and heaven has added m’ghlily to my lit tie store. I have put the bill in the corner-stone of my new house, for it rose alone from that dollar bill. ( I won’t offer to pay you back, lor 1 am afraid, ’ be said smilingly, ‘the luck will go from me with it. hut I’ll tel! you what I’ll do; I’ll give money and words of trust and encouragement to some other poor wretches as yo i gave me.’ The next day Mrs. Pratlet receiv ed from the delivery man at her door a bundle which when she had opened it,.revealed to hpr astonish ed gaze the most beautiful pietie of oil-cloth ,her eyes had .ever beheld. This naturally attracted the squire’s . attention, and when Mrs. Pratlet! told him all, he only replied with j some,ei)iotion: ‘You were right, and I was wrong.’ TlfifoM lady kept a private bottle, I from which she refreshed herseil from time to time, as she felt the! need,‘though none of the family ; knew it. One evening her daughter ! in rummaging through the pantry j for doughnuts for her bean, spibd the bottle and bad the curiosity j to draw the cork and apply her I nose to the aperture. At this mo-j merit the old lady hove in sight I and angrily demanded : ‘Well, are 1 you any wiser than you were?)
