The Hasty Judgment.
I remember her well. She was a
blithilooie creature—this B rth»
Maynard—m happy as »ny bird
carol ing her song all day long.
We all loved her very much and
I, for one, eLed tear* of joy when
she left the flowery path of sin,
and came out on the Lord’s 6ide. 1
reraember well the dry on which
she was baptized Good old Ed
ward* wa* our pastor, then; and I
bolieve that I never heard him
preach as wall as he did on that
morning. Bsrtha Maynard wag
seventeen years of age then a
prettv girlish areature, slim and
graceful, blue-eyed and aunny
haired. Y'et young a* she was, sh*
seemed very earnest, and she Was
willing to give all to the Lerd, and
none unless Ercther Gregg, ever
doubted her sinceiity.
‘The is too giddy a girl to make
a good Cbrietain,’ he said, shak
ing hi* head doubtfully. 'She has
commenced in the right way, but
i;fear ahe will, ere long, turn
back.’
‘The Lord has power to bring all
into his fold,’ I said in a reprjv
ing tone
‘l knew that; but I do say that
it takes great atnbility of jbarac
ter to make a good Chriatain. Now
w* all like Barths, who ia a petted
and spoiled child, used as she is,
te all kinds es dissipation, with a
score fashionable friends, whom
■he likas as well as she does any
of the brethren or sisters of thi*
church. T- ink you she will bear
their tensptings a«d remain pu.e?
That she will pass through Satan’*
fire and come out uascorched?’
‘I think so,’ I returned; still his
words set me to think, and I re
solved to watch the poor girl, and
see how far brother Gregg would
prove true.
She had been a member o( the
church for aearly a year before I
cotioed any thing anohriEtian-like
in her bekavier. It was one night,
early in the spring, that I happen
ed to he kept fit my office on busi
ness until niter 11 e’clock. At
latt I finished and closed my books,
and putting out my lamp, I step
ped into the street,
Just opposite my office was
Burk’s Hall, all lighted up ior n
grand ball I could hear the rich
muaie, and see the magnificently
dressed ladies as they glided
through the dance; and I sighed,
as I thought of the many ways
Satan had of enticing poor mor
tals from their Maker, enly to add
them to his list. I resided about
hall a mile ont of town, and
my way lay by the Maynard
place,
‘Sweet little Bertie is sound
asleep, and not wasting the hours
which God has given us for rest!’
I said to myself as I glanced at the
dark winJows of the building
‘One sr.d all of the family are en
joying the blessed boon —sleep !’
But no—jnst then a tairt light
glimmered fr >m a window out in
the darkness. Involuntarily, I
ceased my rapid walk, and paused
before the dwelling, wonderine
whether or not any of the family
were sick ; for I knew they were in
I lie babit of retiring early.
I was not left long in doubt; the
window was raised noiselessly, and
a little lithe figure aorang out. It
; whs dressed in a rich evening robe,
and wore a mask ; but for all that
I knew it wan Bertha Maynard.
How swift flew the little feet, as
she took her way toward town,
wi ile 1. like a wolf, seeking for
prey, followed on hsl ind her ! On,
| on, she went in feverish haste,
I ausi' g not unlri she had readied j
; the toitom of the broad steps which j
l;d te Burk's Hall, wtnre she j
paused long ei.ougli to give a hasty j
alaoee around ere she sprang u»

and attends a masquerade !
Boor, foolish child 11 must seo
her to raerrow. For the love I
Lear htr, I will he kind and padent
and then, if *be does net mend her
ways, it will be n.y pniufui'duty
to report her to the church.
Aacordingly the next day, I rall
ef at the Maynard place. I found
Mr. Miynard aud bis wife out rid
ing and Bertha was alone, as 1 had
hop.id she would he.
She met me cordially, and her
eyelid* dropped, under my pweing
gaze, and I thought that her face
wore a guilty flush.
‘Bertha, where were you the las’
night ?’
I shall nevor forget the death
like pallor that overspread hex lice
then, or how she graiped a chair to
keep herself from ialling. I pitied
her, and wag glad that it was only
I, of all the church that knew of
her sin ; another might not spare
her feelings as I would do.
•Bertie,’l said, more kindly, ‘why
did vou go there last night? Trust
me, I your only true friend.’
‘Deacon Mar !’ she exclaimed
with sudden energy, ‘if you are
really my friend trust me. Do not
se«k te tear my secret ftom me, for
as the Lord livgs 1 meant no
wrong.’
He pallid face was raised be
geechingly to mine, now,and I ceuld
not find it in my heart to condemn
her. I merely said :
‘Bertie,’ I believe you, and will
tiust en, if you will promiae me
never to go to such a place again.’
‘I will promise that readily,’ she
returned, grasping my hand. ‘I
want to do tight but sometimes I
find it hard to tell what is right. I
am not so guilty as you think I am
Deacon Mar.’
And so the matter was dropped
for the time, ind I, silenced, hut
not convinced, left her. As 1 first
decided, I made no mention of tho
matter to any one ; but, not feeling
quite satisfied with either myself
or her, 1 kept a close watch od her
movements, staying out purposely
late at night, whenever any kind of
siuful amusement was going on in
the town, to see, whether or not )
I could discover another error in
her conduct, resolving, if I should,
to report it to the church immedi
ately.
And so amonth passed,and then
there came an evening when
Burk's hall was again lighted up
for another masquerade, and on
that evening I took my stand near
the Maynard place, in a spot that
would give me a good view of Ber
tie’s window, aud where I could
remain unseen by any passer by.
And there, hour aftar nour, I
crouched like a wild beast ready to
"pring on its prey, believing all the
while, I was doing the work of God,
in thus trying to hunt down the
poor girl. The town clock had al
ready atruck eleven and I wss be
ginning to think of going home,
when I observed a tall, well-dressed
gentleman come down the road,
and pause before the Maynard
place. Beg’nniug to get more in
terested. I bent eagerly forward to
watch his movements. He waited
at the gate a momtet as if to make
sure that the inmates of the house
were at rest, and than passed cau
tiously down the garden-path to
the house, where he paused, and
glance 1 up at Bertie’s window, ut
tered a low but peculiar whistle,
which was. answered in a moment
by the raising of a sash sufficiently
high for him to rpring into the
room ; when it was lowered as cau
tiously as it had been raised.
I could have gone borne suffi
eiently convinced of Bertie’s perfi
dy, but I resolved to find out who
t* e midnight visitor was; aod so I
waited in the ahilly air of a spring
midnight for him to come out
again; but it was an h<sur from the
time he entered, eve ho did come,
and even then, he lingered at the
window for a good night lisa, from
the fair occupant of the room, be
ibee hi* way hack to town
whither I attenpUd to folio v him
hut being an oil man, I could
not walk as fast as Le, aud find
ing very soou I could cot ovttako
him, 1 tnrntd my aUps homeward
f. r onse, in my hfe, foiled. And.
perh m>s. for be n» thus foil ’d, I
grew avore argry wi'.h the girl,
She will not find mo as lenient,
now as she did before. 1, one of
the pillars of the church, oam.ot
see such iniquity go unpunished.
The church must deul with her,'
I said to myself a little spitefully,
I think.
Accordingly, the next day, ta
king Brother (l 1 egg with me, I re
paired to the Mamard plane,where
I found B-rtie seated wiih both
her parents in tbs neat parlor.
‘I am glad that, you have coma,
said M-a Maynard, reaching out
her hand to him. ‘Bertie seems
ailing to day. 1 never saw her
look to miserable. Perhaps you
may cheer her ud a lit le.’
‘Tha wagcß as sin is death,’ said
brother Gregg,sternly.’
‘What do you mean?’ asked the
lady in a half frightened tone,
while a spasm es intense paire,
passed over Ih* girl* faca, taming
it almost deathly in appearance.
■Fcr an explanation, I refer you
to Brother Mar,’ h# answered,
without relaxing one feature of
his dreadful *t*rn vi»nge.
Tell all, I mrst; there was no
help for it now; and though I wish
ed myself a hundred milei away, 1
told what I had seen, while the
rnather listened with gasping sighs,
and the davghter sat with her
face bu.'ied in her hands, tremb
ling violently. Wh*n I, had fin
ished, Mrs. Maynard asked stern
ly:
‘Bertie what have you got to aay
to this?’
The girl rose instantly to her
fact. She was calmer now, though
her face was death like in it* pal
lor.
‘I have no reply te make, my
mother,’ she responded. ‘Wbal
I have done I am not ashamed of,
and may do again. J may have a
secret, hut if 1 have, a l the blood
hounds in the world shall not bunt
it from nit!’
Iliother Gregg grow a little
angry at this, ami lie said «t< tlv:
‘Miss, if you continue on in this
way, you will have to get out from
the sheltering arms of ilia church,’
How her ayes blazed! I saw, at
once they were taking the wrong
way to bring the erring child to
his fold and I said kindly to the
girl;
Si«ter Bertie; if you have dine
wrong, confess your fault, an!,
strive to do better. I* is an awful
thing to dare Aimighty God, as
yoo are doing.’
Bat my words were of no use.
In my anxiety to mend matters, 1
only made them worse, for, draw
ing up to her full bigi-.t, she said
proudly:
‘Deacen Mar, I have no confois
ion to make to any one besides
my Maker, and He, kowing my
intent, does not wish any. Tula is
all I have to say, Please consid
er me no longer a mamhai of your
church.’
I would have expostulated, hut
she gave roe no chance, for, when
shs bad oi seed, with the digaity
of a queen she passed ont of th*
roam, and though I called several
times afti-rward, I never had a
chance to converse with her. From
that time the was always not at
home,’ when any of th* members
called, aod, afterwhil# ahe was
turned out of the chureh. Subse
quently omen sorrow came to this
poor girl. First the young people,
her best friends, refused to associ
ate with her, and afterwards, sick
ness and death ctmc to her home,
robbing her of those who loved her
best —her parents.
I pitied Bertha mors than I can
tell, as I »?.w her bending over the
new-nasde grave, weeping bitterly
for the mother who bad loved her
so wetland stepping to ler side, I
plaeed my hand upon her fair
young head, and said as kindly as
1 knee fuw :
The Lord lovith whom he chas
teneth, and scourges every child he
receives.’
‘ I’ln-n, Deac m Mar, I frost that
tie loyts me,’ *he answered sad
ly-
A few momenta afterwards she
took a strang r’s arm and walked
giowly homeward. And that was
the last time she was ever seen in
Afton. The next day thcMtyr-aid
house wai c’oaed, and on it wr-g a
p aturd l heeling the words, ‘For
Bile,’with dinetions to inquire at
a dis ant city.
llow my heart ached then! Where
in all tlio world, where was the pour
child? I feared she had no friend*,
anil might go rapidly to destruc
tion. I would hunt her up, and
prove a better friend than 1 lied av
er been before.
I was preparing to *et out in
search cf her, wluu, on# day, a
long tear-stained letter camo to me
from the absent one. 1 will give
it here :
‘At last Teacon M ir, 1 may make
my confession to you : but to do so,
fmu<t go back and cninuicuce ut
my csrlv childhood, thus giving
you a sketch of my short but event
ful life. In a pretty village many
miles trora here we lived —father,
mother and I We were p'or, but
for nil that wo were happy ; for
love buttered our brown bread ar.d
sweetened our corn coffee. Still
my father was not quite sonterted
He wanted to make his darli gs
more comfortable ye , by doing his
utm Bt, his scanty ea-ninga ware
barely sufficient to give us shelter
for our heads, and tho poorest food
fur ns.
‘Such were uur circumstances
when there arose the cry, ‘G >ld in
California,’ and a party of adveu
turers, among whom was my father
started for the far off' E dorado
We had still harder times alter he
whs gone, hut my nmtlnr bore up
braycly, toiling all through the
long days and often the greater
part ot the nighlp, for sustenunce
tVr herself at d child until news
came that lie died of fever in 'lie
land of promise Then she sank
beneath the blow, and fell sick. It
was many months after the day
on which tha dreadful letter came,
ere she was able to sit up again.
During thc-e long months I know
tiiat we sbuu'd have sulfred from
want of food, fire an ! clothing, had
it not been for the kindness of a
gentleman a stranger, who was re
cruiting his health at our little vil
lage. Indeed so kind was he, tint*
when, after a time, lie asked my
vnothere’s bund in marriiißP, tin
could not find it in her heart to re
fuse him. They were married in
the little church of Afton, and soon
after the marriage, they purchased
the house known as tbe Maynard
place and rom-veil to that town,
where in accordance with my step
father’s wishes I passed for his
child.
‘But my own father was not dead
although he had stood upon th*-
boundaries of the other world; and
after long months of hard lah *r, he
returned to find the ones for whom
lie had toiled c'aimed by another.
‘At first,’ said this dear father, to
me when lie firut met me by np'
pointment lit the masquerade. ‘I
thought that I should go away, and
none would know that I was still
alive; but my love for ray child
overcame my resolutio ; and I re
solved to see her at any risk.’
‘After that, I met him oftentimes
in my own room, sometimes in the
woods; tor it always gave me joy,
even to liye a moment iu his pres
enee.
‘I have heard it Said that I was
too unstable iu mind to uiuke a
Christian, Perhaps it is sc ; still I
have been strong enough to endure
everything fei my poor mother’s
sake. To Keep the hitter truth from
her, I suw myself an oute st from
society, and the object of tbe jeers
even of those vflro professed to love
me the best.
‘lt was i rily in tie closing bcure
of my mother's life, that she knew
all, and when those unearthly
bright eyes gazed up'ti m 3, and
the dving lips murmured faintly,
‘God bless yon my darling!’ the suf
