Sabbath school was out, and tho Super intendent took a stroll up the canal, The grasshoppers were turning somer saults in the high grass,- their last per formance of the season, and the emer ald-vested kafy-dids Garbled from their velvet coverts under the mnllen leaves. When he got to the aqueduct over Fall creek, where the water, escaping throngh the time-riven timber, joins the flood below, most musical in tlieir meeting, he found a wicked acquaintance, with a line dangling in the water. He was about to frame a reproof for the Sab- bath'breaker when, goodnes s gracious what a bite! Another, and a bass a per-, feet | beauty, waa flouncing over the is8. ‘ ‘What sort of bait jar e you us ing, Jim?” (The reproof was postpon ed.) “Hoppers” was the reply, as the line, rebaited, slid into the stream. He fumbled nervously in h is vcst.porket and found he had hook and line, but Jftn had another bite, and another three-quarter pound bass was thrown upon the bank. “Were do you get your bait?” he asked. “Oh, these boys ’ll ketch ’em for yon.” “You don’t say so!” The line came but of bu> pnrket, the hook was baited, and a three-quarter-pounder was gasping on the shore. Another, and then anoth er! Never was such luck. The Super intendent was excited. “Harry np with the grasshoppers.” “Please, Mr. C. here’s.a hopper," pip td u s-nuJI boy. The Superintendent looked down. The eyes of the angler and his helper met. It was a crowning mercy Le did not tumble into the water. The grass hopper purveyor was the boss hoy of his Sunday school. There are sermons in running brooks to that Sunday school Superintendent, and yet he can’t be got withjs a mile of a stream, and can’t even at an ice wagon without a shudder.— Indianapolis Fews. AN INDIAN TRADITION OF THE GREAT FLOOD. STEPAHE MAKARIEF. Picture of a Peasant’s Life in a Russian Commune. BY HENBI GREEVULE. TRANSLATED BY VIRGINIA CBAMFLIX. PART n, THE FATE OF IRINA AND, STEPANE.

Whcu Irina complained One morning water for washing was brought to Munn, and when he hod WftshedJhipiRolf a fish remained in his hands, And it addressed these) words to him: “Protect me and I will save thee. ” ‘ ‘From wliat wilt thou save me?” “ A dclnge will sweep all creatures away; it ia from that I will save'j thee.” “How shall I protect thee?” “The fish replied: “While we are small we run great dangers, for fish swallow fish. Keep me at first in a vase; when I be come too large for it dig a basin to pnt me into. When I shall have grown still more, throw me into theiocean; then I shall be preserved from destruction.” Soon it grew a large fish. It said to Maun: “The very year I shall have reached my foil growth the deluge will happen. Then build a vessel and wor ship me. When tho waters rise, enter the vessel aud I will save tliee.” After keeping him t-lms, Mann carried the fish to the sea. In the year indicated Mann bpilt a vessel and vorsliipped the fish. And when the deluge came he entered the vesseL Then the fish came swimming np to him, and Mann fas tened the cable of tho ship to the horn of the fish, by which means the latter made it pas3 over the Mountain, of,.the North. The fish said, “I have saved thee;.fasten the vessel to a tree that the water mey not sweep it away while thou art on the mono torn, and in proportion as the waters decrease . t-hon sbalt de - r.cend.” Mann descended with the wa ters, and Ibis is what is ealied the* de scent of Max non the Mountaian of fiio North, The deluge had carried away all creatures, and Mann remained alone. him as much lost as if she had been dead; and he was twenty-six and felt young. No one had aught to say of his conduct towards his neighbor, nor did anyjonn mock at Anicia for the role she played in her neighbor’s t life. It was not the commnne’s affair, s They had not denounced Irina when she had not even an excuse for herself; why, then. should they torment those whose be reavements made them unfortunates, and conseqnently made them respecta ble? Besides, Anicia continued to live in her mean little cottage; nothing had changed in appearance. Five years passed away thus; and Stepane Maka rief was bnppier and more truly at home than he had ever been. Amcia’s chil dren loved and obeyed him as a father; what more did he need? Anicia was no longer quite young; her somewhat faded features, which had never been beauti ful, had lost their freshness; but hud Stepane ever considered his friend’s looks? What he loved her for was that she represented home—the cheerful fireside—and this humble representa tive was always the same—patient, thoughtful and gentle. One afternoon, a few days after Easter, when the gronnd was again covered by a thin lay er of snow, which had left by the thaw, a peasant returning from the neighbor ing city stopped when he saw Stepane playing at the door with the children and a dog which Anicia bad raised for him. “Makarief,” said the man, after hav ing looked at him a moment, “I saw your wife in the city.” Stepane had forgotten the rerv ex istence of his wife, and turned with an astonished look on the man. “Yes, I saw her; she waa Tory well dressed. They say the peddler is very sick with consumption.” “That makes him worse off than ever,” said Stepane Coldly; and he be gan to pl&y with his dog. After having looked at him at him a moment longer the peasant moved os if to leave, then stopped; he had some thing to say; bnt his faltering glance met Siepane's irritated gaze, and he tnrned on his heel and went home. Six weeks later—it was a few weeks after Wbit-Sunday—Stepane, on his re turn home from work one evening, saw from a distance that his house door was open. On going into the room he saw the form of a woman seated near the window with her arms crossed. Ste pane stopped on the threshold petrified with anger and terror. The woman rose and bowed to the ground, as is the custom with the Russian peasant wo men towards their husbands. . It was Irina. “I have returned,” she said, in ia shorp voice with a shade of fear in it. — “Stepane Makarief, pardon a sinner.” The words were humble, bnt the atti tude was almost insulting; with her arms crossed and holding her head high the guilty woman seemed not to wait for her chastisement, but seemed to de fy her jmlge. Stepane remained on the threshold; hardly could an idea straggle through the confusion of his mind. Stepane hud thought of her as of one dead, and without suspecting it, he had almost forgiven her from merely having lorgot* ten her; and here she was back at his fireside to take tho plape occupied by Anicia, His whole being revolted. “I do not want yon,” he said rudely; “yon can go back,” A flash of anger glittered in Irina's eyes. “No,” she said,': “I have come to re main. My place is here and yon ought to receive me, since you are my hus band,!' Stepune’s hand descended npon her shoulder again and again till his dumb Mtf&m was satisfied. Iriua screamed loudly, but did not rebel, She knew i ^ beforehand that she would be beaten ;i ,. if ccamixl tr» nr»vf#* Tk-ifnre! \Tlion i it seemed to her quite natural. When j he had finished his correction lie went I on the gronnd wHliont'answering. “I wish her to go away,"- Stepane re peated in an imperative tone. “That cannot be, Makarief,"'answer ed the worthy man regretfully. “What! that cannot be,(when I don’t wish to keep her?” “If shejwishes to remain, shejwill re main,” answered the old man in a -sad and gentle voice. “She is,~one of us; she is your wife; no one'ean alter that; yon are’obliged to provide’for her.” “She hasj her peddler for that.” plied Step.me between his teeth. “Thejpeddler is dead, and tbejjusfico of the town ha*; sent yonr wife back here,” replied the doyen; “it is here s he'shonldjlive.Jandj yon .cannot send her back.” Since I am an honest man,” said Stepane, "why does thatfwoman come back to disgrace me here? I don’t want her, and I won’t have her. Da as yon will, but .fJeh-hall go away; that’s all.” After having harried these words at the crowd with a desperate air, he stood motionless, with flashing eyes and head erect. “Thatj is impossible, Makarief; the law commands that she should remain,’’ said the doyen. “Well, so be it,” cried Stepane, exas perated. '’Letcher remain. Starchina, let me pass the night at your house. I w ill not return homo. To-morrow I shall go to tho city, aud we shall see who is rignt.” He went sshe said, and at davbrenk, and did not return till the second day after, at night. “Father, you were, right,” said be to tbe doyen, who hud arisen' to let him in, on heariug him knock on the win dow. “I told you so,” said the old man, in a tone of pity. During her husbands absence Irina busied herself about the house. She made tho humble Anicia give her tbe keys, and did not fail to abuse her for meddling with what did not concern her. With the keen instinots of a guil ty woman, she snspeoted Anicius love for her has band, by her embarrussed looks, and drew herself up in all the authority of h er marital rights, to over power the u surper. But for the ped dler’s death Irina wonld not have dared to return home. She had been driven to return to the conjugal roof. But as for shame she was dead to it. So, when Stepane returned from the city; received him, not with the humility due au an outraged husband and mas ter, bat simply a guest. The independ ent life she had led had made her for get the demeauor pro per in a wife, and she remembered only her rights. Stepane took a quite different view of matters, and bis appearance in his own abode was accompanied by a chas tisement administered with that pru dent slowness which permits all the more blows to fall npon the victim without causing grave injuries. When be judged the dose sufficient, Stepane said to his wife, “I ca nnot prevent yon staying here; it seems that you can re main as long as you please. I dotest and scorn you; yon are. no longer my wife; I shall not touch yon except to beat you; I shall not eat berp, and shall sleep in my father’s room. Irina id not answer, she had been beaten enough for that day, hut she promised herself that she would 1 e more than ever the qneen in the house, and she counted on resuming the pil grimages and promenades of her eaily married life, When Su nday came she dressed in her best attire, that winch bad been given her by her lover, tLe peddler, her neck covered with a recL- laceof innumerable strings of baids, and her head adorned with the richest of bendgear embroidered with gold and pearls. She went to the barn to har ness the telega to go to church in a dis tant parish. Stepane, seated on a bench before hi^ honse while jw-uting for chnrcb-time heard her plainly enough, bnt let Is, proceed. When all was ready, an d she was seated in the wagon andfjust. about gathering ud the rains, he appeared took the horse by the hit and led him in the yard close to the house, where he fastened both horses and cirriage by means of a new padl oc-k which Le had just bought; then be quietly Mt. Irina, following Lim into the street, with her sharp recriminations, k< tinned towards Ler, and passing hi. Laud through the glass bead necklace which hung from her threat to lic-i waist he gavo a jurk to the strings, which he held tight between Ins fingers, and ibe colored Leads were scattered in every direction over the grass, to tie great delight of the viljiage children aud amid.screams of laughter from all women. Tbe men, too, al»olnt-!y of it, Stepane answered her as a man whose answer had long been prepared. “I told you that I should not safe here; it is, therefore, useless for me tu have flonr in tUo houses I shulf buy my bread,” “But what of me?” asked Irina, re straining her anger. “Yon? work; yon must bity yonr- bread also ” And he dealt with her- jib this way ahont everything. Irina’s fu ry was overpowered by this impiicabla- resolntion to connt her as nothing in, the house. For revenge, she at racket! Anicia, knowing that there iv.is tho- vulnerable point in Stepane’s heart. Oue day, when she had had a poor din ner, her husband’s provisions, being all 1 - under lock and key, she profited by tho- • ahscencj of her m.ts'er, kept in the- fields by a pioco of work, and proceed? • ing to Anicia’s Loose to heap insults, upon her.
