THROUGH MUCH_ TRIBULATION.
BY MISS MU LOCH.
Between ten and twenty years ago—
tlie precise date is immaterial—there was
in the city of New York a barber’s ap
prentice, a young boy named Reuben
V and rest. Ilia Dutch lineage was indi
cated by his surname, which, in course of
years and generations had been corrupted
from Van der Dest to Vandrest, while
for his Scriptural Christian name he was
indebted to a worthy Quaker, his mater
nal grandfather, who had come over with
William Penn. These names were, in
truth, all the boy owed to his progenitors,
as from bis cradle bo had been an orphan,
cast on the charity of the wide world.
But the excellent sect to which Reuben’s
mother had belonged is one of the lew'
who never east tho Iambs from their bo
som, and the orphan child was not de
serted. The Friends took care of him
and when lie was able to earn a livelihood
one of their number received him as an
apprentice. Such v, T as the short simple
story of the barber’s boy.
Every human being has some inner life,
which the outside world knows nothing
of. Thus from earlier childhood, the pas
sion of Reuben Vandrest bad been music.
He would follow the itinerant musicians
of the city through one street alter an
other, often thus losing his meals, his rest,
everything except bis schooling, which
precious benefit lie was too wise to throw
away for even music.
He bad friends with blind pipers, Italian
hnrdygurdyists, and above all, with wan
dering fiddlers: for, with intuitive per
ception, the violin—the prince of stringed
instruments—was his chief favorite.
From all and each of these wandering
musicians Reuben was intent on gaining
something. They were won by his child
ish manners and earnest admiration—for
love ol praise is the same in a blind fid
dler as in an opera singer—and by degrees
Reuben not only listened but learned to
play. No instrument came amiss to him.
but bis sole and private property was an
old fife; and with this simplest of all or
chestral varieties the poor barber’s boy
used to creep to his garret and there strive,
with his acute ear and retentive memory,
to make out the tunes w hich be bad heard
in the streets or to invent others.
But the grand era in the boy’s life was
coining. One day, as he stood wistfully
looking at a violin, which he held in his
arms fondly and lingeringly, prior to re
turning it to its right owner, a poor si reef,
musician, the idea of its construction first
entered Reubens mind. He had been ac
customed to regard a violin as a mysteri
ous thing—a self-creating, sound produc
ing being—and never once had lie consid
ered ol what it w r as made or how.
Now lie began to peer into its myste
ries, and to find out that it was only
wood and catgut after all. He questioned
his friend, the fiddler, but the man had
scraped away during a lifetime without
casting a thought on the mechanism ol
his instrument. True, be could replace a
broken string, and at times even manufac
ture a bridge with liis pen-knife, but that
was all. When Reuben inquisitively
wanted to know how violins were made
the tiddler shook liis head and said he did
not know.
“ Do you think I could make one ?”
pursued the anxious boy.
A burst of laughter, so cuttingly deri
sive that Reuben’s face grew crimson,
was the only answer.
“ Why you little simpleton,” cried the
fiddler when his mirth had subsided,
“ surely you’ll not be so silly as to try.
You could as soon build a house as make
a violin.”
“ But violins must bo made by some-,
body ?”
‘•Yes, by people who know all about
it; not by a lad like you. Take my ad
vice, and don’t attempt impossibilities.”
Reuben said no more; but he could not.
get tlie idea from his mind. Every violin
that he.saw he begged to look at; be ex
amined the varieties of construction, the
sort of wood used, the thickness and
fashion of the strings; and after weeks
of consideration he at last determined to
try and make one for himself. During
the long, light summer nights he
worked hour after hour in his garret or
on the roof of his house; bis natural me
chanical skill was aided by patience and
ardor; and with the few tools which he
borrowed from the gooduatured carpen
ters who had given him wood, he suc
ceeded in forming the body of the violin.
But here a long cessation took place in
Reuben’s toil; for he had not eveu tlie
few pence to purchase strings; and the
bow, which he could not make, it was ut
terly out of his power to buy. He sat
looking in despair at the half-finished in
strument—a body without a soul—and
even his fife could not console him.
But one day a kind-hearted customer
noticed the slight, pale looking boy, who
arranged his locks so gently and carefully
that Reuben became the recipient of a
dollar. He flew to buy cat gut and an old
bow and with trembling hand strung his
instrument.
Who can describe tlie important mo
ment? I.everrier’s ‘crowning calculation
for the new planet, Lord (fosse’s first
peep through his giant telescope, are little
compared to poor Reuben’s first attempt,
to draw sounds from his violin. The
sounds came; string alter string was
tuned ; the bow was applied, and the vio-
lin'had a soul; feeble and thin the notes
were, but still they were distinct, musical
tones, and the boy hugged his self-made
treasure to his beating heart, actually sob
bing with joy.
He played tune alter tune; he never
noticed that the evening was getting
dark ; he forgot, liis supper; and forgot,
too—what, but for his musical enthusiasm,
would have long since come into his mind
—that, though the childish fife might
pass muster iu the house of his master, a
a violin never would.
To the good Quaker, one of the strict
est of his sect, music was useless, sinful,
heathenish—and a fiddler in his eyes, was
as bad as a thief. Therefore, who cau
picture Reuben’s consternation when the
garret door opened and his master stood
betore him ?
Reuben bore all Ephraim’s wrath in si
lence; only he took good care to keep
his darling violin safe from the storm by
pressing it closely to his arms.
“ Thee have been neglecting thy work
and stealing fiddles,” said the' angry man.
“I have not neglected niv work,” tim
idly answered the boy, « and I have not
stolen the violin—indeed, I have not,”
“ How didst thee get it
“ I made it myself.
Old Ephraim looked surprised. All the
music in the world was nothing to him ;
but had a taste for mechanical employ
ments, and the idea of making a violin
struck him as ingenious. He examined it
and became less angry.
“ Will it play ?”
Reuben, delighted, began one of his
most touching airs, but the master stopped
him.
“ That will do,” said he; “ I only Want
to see if it sounds—all tunes are the same.
And I suppose thee will tarn musician ?”
IJrnben hung his head and said noth-
ing.
“ Well, that thou canst never be, so I
would advise thee not to try. Forget the
fiddle and be a good barber. However,
I will say no more—only that thon must
play out of doors next time.”
But all the discouragements of the old
Quaker could not repress Reuben’s love
for music. He cut and cnrled and shaved,
as in duty bound, and then fled away to
his violin. From the roof of the house
his music went forth ; and the most orig
inal concert room, with the open sky
above him and the part city sparrows,
now used to his melody, now hopping hy
his side, did the boy gradually acquire
the first si crets of his science. It is
needless to enumerate the contrivances
he resorted to for instruction—how he
wandered through the streets at night
wit h his violin, to gain a few cents where
with to purchase old music; and how he
gradually acquired skill, so as to be ad
mitted as a s..rt of supernumerary into a
wandering hand.
One night when this primitive orches
tra was engaged for a ball at a private
house in tlie city, the first violin myste
riously disappeared. In this dilemma
young Richard found courage to offer
himself as a substitute. It was a daring
thing to do.
The other musicians first laughed at
him, then heard him play the part which
no one else could take. And finally suf
fered him to try.
For the first time in his life the barber’s
hoy witnessed a ball. It seemed to him
a fair scene—he was dazzled, bewildered,
excited and in his enthusiasm he played
excellently. The night wore away ; the
dancers seemed never weary—not so the
aching fingers of the musicians. Reuben
especially, to whom the excitement was
new, grew more and more exhausted, and
at last, just as he had finished playing a
waltz, fell faiuting from bis chair. Most
of the gay couples passed on—it was only
a poor musician ; but one youug girl, in
whom the compassionate and simple na
ture of a child had not been swept away
by the formalities of young ladyhood, held
a glass of water to his lips.
“ Cora Dacres bringing to life a fainting
fiddler,” said a tittering voice. “Oh,
what a story when we get back to school!”
Tne girl turned around indignantly, say
ing, “ Cora Dacres is never ashamed of
doing whaL is right. Are you better now?”
she added gently to poor Reuben, who
had opened his eyes.
The youth recovered, and she disap
peared again among the dancers; but
many a time did the auburn curls and soft,
brown, sympathizing eyes of the little
school girl float before the vision of Reu
ben Vandrest; and the young musician
often caught himself repeating over his
sole confidant—his violin—the pretty
name he had heard on his waking, and
dimly recognized as hers—Cora Dacres.
Long before he was twenty-one Reuben
had entirely devoted himself to the mu
sical profession. The turning point in his
career was given by a curious incident.
< >ne moonlight night, as he was playing
on the roof, as usual, he saw a head peep
out from the uppermost window of the
opposite house.
This head was withdrawn when he
ceased playing, and again put forward as
soon as he recommenced. A natural feel
ing of gratified vanity prevented the
young man from yielding to his first shy
impulse of retiring; and besides, sympa
thy in anything relating to his art was so
new to him, that it gave him pleasure to
he attentively listened to, even by an un
known neighbor over the way. He threw
all liis soul into his violin, and played un
til midnight.
Next day, while at his duties in his mas
tor’s shop, the apprentice was sent for at
the house opposite. Reuben went, bear
ing the insignia of hia lovely trade; but
instead of a patient customer, he saw a
gentleman, who only smiled at his array
of brushes.
“ I did not send for you to act as a bar
ber,” said the stranger in English, which
was strongly tinctured with a foreign ac
cent, “ but to speak about the violin play
ing which I heard last night. Am I right
ly informed that the performer was your
self?”
“ It was, sir,” answered Reuben, trem
bling with eagerness.
“ Who taught you ?”
“ I taught myself.”
“ Then you love music ?”
“ With my whole heart and soul ?”
said the young man, enthusiastically.
The stranger skillfully drew from Reu
ben the little history of himself and his.
violin, and talked to him long and ear
neslly.
“ You have a true feeling for that noble
art to which I, too, belong,” he said.
“ You may have many difficulties to en
counter, but never be discouraged—you
will surmount them all. You have had
many hindrances—but listen, and I will
tell you what I went through with at your
age. I once came, a poor boy like you,
to tlie great capital in Europe, my heart
full of music but utterly without means.
M y only wealth was my violin. I left it
one day in my poor chamber, while I went
out to buy a loaf with my last coin.
When I came back my violin was gone.
It. had been stolen! May God forgive me
for the crime I contemplated in mad de
spair. 1 rushed to the river; I plnnged
i n ; but I was saved from the death I
sought—saved to live for better things.
“.My friend,” continued tbe musician, at
ter a long silence, during which his face
was hidden by his hands, “ in all the trials
i>t your career, remember this of mine—
take warning.”
“I will, 1 will!” cried Reuben, much
moved.
“ And, now, after having told you this
terrible Secret in my life, it is as well that
I should not reveal my name—and besides,
it could do you no good, as I set out for
Europe to-morrow. But should you ever
be in Paris, come to this address, leave
this writing, and you will hear from me.
The gentleman wrote some lines in a
foreign language which Reuben could
not make out, though among his musical
acquaintance he had gained a little know
ledge of both French and Italian. 'He
then gave Vandrest the address and bade
him adieu.
The young man long pondered over
this adventure, hii.I ii w is the final crisis
which in-el*- him lelin.juifh a trade so un
p -mg I-* him lor the practice ot his be
i .- I art.
! It is a mistake to suppose that tbe pro
fession of music is au easy, careless life,
to which any one may turn who has a dis
taste for more solid pursuits. In no call
ing is intelectual activity and arduous
study more imperatively required. He
who would attain to even moderate emi
nence in it mast devote years of daily, pa
tient toil to dry and uninteresting
branches of study. A poet may be one
by nature ; it is utterly impossible that a
musician can be great without as deep a
science as ever puzzled a mathematical
brain.
He must work—work every inch of his
way—must dig the foundation and enrich
the soil before he can form his garden and
plant his flowers. Thus did our young
ex-barber. He studied scientifically what
he had learned through the instinct of ge
nius, and rose slowly and gradually in his
profession. Sometimes his slight and or-
diuarv appearance, which made him look
more boyish than he really was, his quaint
old-world name, and above all, a simplicity
and Quaker-like peculiarity in his dress
and manner, aroused the ridicule of his
companions, who followed music more for
show than through real love of the art.
But the story of his early perseverenee
always disarmed them; it was a common
saying, with reference to young Vandrest,
that who, untaught, could make a violin,
would surely learn to play it.
B v degrees the young violinist rose in
to note and became received into society
when* he could hardly have dreamed that
lie should ever have set his foot.
Many a rich citizen was pleased to wel-
come to his houseMr. Vandrest, tbe young
and unassuming musician, whose gentle
manner and acknowledged talents were
equally prized. Tlie barber’s apprentice
was utterly unforgotten or else only
tiemght of as a proof of how much a
man’s fortune lies iu bis own hands, if he
will only try.
In one of these elegant reunions Van
drest again heard the name which had
never utterly' gone from his memory
through alibis vicissitudes—Cora Dacres.
He turned ron^l and saw the altered
likeness of the girl who had held the cup
of water to his lips on the night of the
ball. She had grown into womanly
beauty, but he remembered the face still.
She had not the faintest memory of him.
How could it be so ? Light *and dark
ness not more different than the pleasing,
intellectual, gentleman-like man who was
introduced to her, and the pale, angular,
ill-clad little boy whom she had pitied
and aided.
.Sometimes Vandrest thought he would
rem ind her of the circumstance ; but then
a vague feeling of sensitiveness and shame
prevented him. He went home, and
again his clJ violin might have heard
breathed over it the name of Cora Dacres;
but this time not iu boyish enthusiasm for
whatever was pleasiug and beautiful, but
in tbe strong, all-absorbing love of man
hood, awakened in a nature which was in
every way calculated to receive and retain
that sentiments in its highest, and purest
and most enduring form.
Reuben Vandrest, who had hitherto
cared for nothing on earth but his violin,
soon learned to love, and with the enthu
siastic attachment of an earnest and up
right nature. For, with all the allure
ments of a musical career, Reuben re
mained as simple-minded aud guileless in
character as the primitive sect from which
he sprung. And Cora was worthy to in
spire the love of such a man ; whether
she returned it or not Reuben did not con
sider—he was too utterly absorbed in the
new bliss of loving, and loviug her, to
think of asking himself the question. He
visited at her house, and became a favor
ite with her father—a would-be amateur,
who took pleasure in filling his drawing
rooms with musicians, and treating them
as costly and not disagreeable play things.
But at last Mr. Dacres was raised from
his apathy by the evident regard existing
between his daughter and the young Van
drest.
Though he liked tbe violin well enough
the hint of Reuben’s marrying Cora
sounded ill in the ears of the prudent man,
especially when given by one of those
odious good-natured friends with whom
the world abounds. The result was a
conversation between himself and Van
drest in which, utterly bewildered and de
spairing, poor Reuben declared his hid
den and treasured love, first with the tim
idity of a man who sees his inmost heart
laid bare, and then with the firmness giv
en by a consciousness that there is in that
heart nothing for which an honest man
need blush.
“ I am sorry for you, Mr. Vandrest,”
said the blunt yet not ill-meaning citizen.
“ But it is impossible that you can ever
hope for Cora’s hand.”
“ Why impossible !” said the young
man, recovering sll his just pride and self-
possession. “I am not rich, but I have
an unspotted name, and the world is ali
before me. Do you object to my profes
sion ?”
“ By no means; a musician is an hon
orable man, just so much so as a store
keeper.”
At any other time the very compliment
ary comparison would have made Reuben
smile, but now he only answered, while
the color deepened on his cheek.
“ Is it because of my early life ? My
father was of a good family. But it may
be, you would blush to remember that
your daughters husband served in a bar
ber’s shop.”
“ My dear sir,” said Mr. Dacres, “ you
forget- we are Americans, and talent and
wealth are our only aristocracy. The
first you undoubtedly possess, but with
out the second you cannot marry Cora;
and there is no chance of your becoming
a rich man.”
“ Will you let me try ?” eagerly inquired
Vandrest.
“It would be of no use. You could
not succeed.”
I could—I could!” exclaimed the
young man impetuously. “ Only let me
hope. I would try anything to win Cora!”
And in this earnestness of love did
Reuben pursue his almost hopeless way.
He had pledged his word that he would
not try to win her—this her father imper
atively demanded—but Mr. Dacres also
promised that he would leave his daugh
ter free. Nor would he urge her to ac
cept any other husband during the three
years of absence which he required of
Reuben Vandrest. They parted—Reu
ben and Cora—with the outward seemiDg
of ordinary acquaintance; but was it
likely that a love so deep as that of the
young musician should have been entirely
suppressed by him, or unappreciated by
she who was his object ?
They parted without any open confes
sion—but did uot Cora’s heart follow the
wanderer as he sailed toward Europe?—
did she not call up his image, and repeat
his unmusical name as though it had con
tained a world of melody in itself?—and
did she not feel as certain in her heart
that he loved her as if he had told her so
a hundred times?
As Vandrest was preparing for the voy
age, he accidently found the long forgot
ten note of the stranger mu-i.-ian. It
directed him to Pari-, and to Paris he de
termined to proceed, as Europe was all
alike to <me who knew n<<! a single sool

Ln u n fi n-nd the kind-hearted and tal
ented Swede who, on the death of Pag
anini, had become the first violinist in the
world—Ole Bull.
The success of the young American
was now made sure. The true violinist
had too nmch true genius to fear competi
tors, and no mean jealousy kept him from
advancing the fortunes ol Vandrest by
every means in bis power. Reuben tra
versed Europe, going from capital to cap
ital, everywhere making friends, and what
was still more important to him, money.
He allowed himself no pleasures, only the
necessaries of life, aud laid up liis gains
for the grand object of his care—the ac
quiring of a fortune for Cora.
He rarely heard of her; he knew not
but that her love might change; and some
times a sense of the utter wildness of his

project came upon him with freezing re
ality.
But intense love like his, in an other
wise calm and nnimnassioned native, ac
quires a strength unknown to those who
are stirred by every passing impulse.
And Reuben’s love, “By its own energy
fulfilled itself.”
Ere the three years had expired he re
turned to America, having realized a com
petence. With a beating heart tlie young
musician stood before his mistress, told
her all his love, and knew that he was
loved. It was very sweet to hear Cora
reveal in the frankness of her true heart,
which felt no shame with having loved
one so worthy, how her thoughts bad con
tinually followed him in his wanderings,
and how every success had been doubly
sweet to her. But human happiness is
never unmixed with pain ; and when Cora
looked atthe alteredform ofher betrothed,
his sunken and colorless face and his large
bright eyes, a dreadful fear took posses
sion of her, and she felt that joy itself
might be purchased with too dear a price, j A BOOR FQR THE MILLION.

It was so, indeed,
Reuben’s energy had sustained him un
til the reaction of hope fulfilled came, and
then his health failed. A long illness fol
lowed. But he had one blessing—his af

her anguish, Cora felt thankful that he

7The extensive use of these watches for the last fitie
years by Railway Conductors, Engineers, and Express
men, tbe most exacting of watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength, durability and accuracy ot
the Waltha u Watch. To satisly that Cass in all these
respects, is to decide tbe question as to the real value of
these time-keepers.
More than 450,000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of l h e people—a
proof and a guarantee of their suoeriority over ail others.
The superior organization aud great extent of the
Company’s Works at Waitham, enable them to produce
watches at a price which renders competition futile,
and those who buy any other watch, merely pay from
25 to 50 per cent, more for their watches than Is necessary
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less ‘p rices
In greenbacks, than the gold prices before the war.
There is no other manufacture of any kind in the
United States of which this cau be said.
These time-pieces combiue every improvement that
a long experience has proved ot real practical use.
Having had the refusal of uearly every invention iD
watchmaking originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe testing by
the most skillful artisans in our works, and long nse on
the part of Ine public, demonstrated to be essential to
correct and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would particu
larize :
The invention and use of a centre-ptnlon of peculiar
construction, to prevent damage to the train by the
Breakage of main springs, is original with the American
Watch Company, who, having had the refnsal of all
other contrivances, adopted Fogg's Fatent pinion as
being tbe best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally
admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are used in ail
grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protect
ing the movements from dust and lessening the necessi
ty of the frequent cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch, le
already a decided success aud a grear improvement on
any stem-winding watch in the American market, and
by far the cheapest watch ol its qnality now offered to
the public. To those living in portions of the United
States where watchmakers do not abound, watches with
the above mentioned improvements which tend to
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience,
mnst prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
