ISAAC AND LITTLE TROT.
Little Trot was really named
j Georgiana Jones, hut the name
was too long tm*her. She was a
little dumpling with blue eyes
and yellow hair, and round rod
cheeks; and little Isaac Jacobs,
who lived next door to her, ad
mired her exceedingly.
Little Isaac had big black eyes
and a skin like a hazel-nut, and
a large round nose. He was ten
and Trot was live; and Isaac
made up his mind that he was in
love witli Trot, and that when
they were old enough they would
be married.
One day he said this to his sis
ter Rachel, who instantly shook
her head and her black curls fu
riously and cried out—
‘Oh, no, no, that could never
be; your religions are different.
*No one can marry a person of a
Idi fie rent religion. I could not ac
j cept the hand of Mr Smith, the
| baker over the same way, but I
lam now engaged, as everybody
| knows, to Mr. Moses, who is in
the Jewelry business. You see it
can nover be; Isaac. But there is
little Mariam.'
Then she laughed and told her
mother of the good joke ; but it
was no joke to Isaac.
That afternoon he climbed up
over the fence and called softly
to Trot:
‘Trot, come here.’
Trot came. She held Iter big
doll in one hand and a stick of
peppermint in the other, and she
was glad to see Isaac, for they
been parted an age -at least
twenty-four hours.
‘Come over and play,’ she said.
‘I can’t, he said. ‘Father said I
must go off on an errand; but 1
j wanted to ask you have you any
religion ?’
Trot ran away and said ‘no’ to
him, and he went on the errand
with a grave countenance.
That night after he went to bed
lie thought of it a good deal. His
| sister Rachel was reading aloud
in the next room. The story was
all about love and romance, and
suddenly these words caught Isa
ac’s ear;
‘Their cruel parents objected to
the union and refused their con
sent. ‘Never -never will I sub
mit to them,’ said Theodore. ‘I
will bear my Elvira away from
them all, and we will dwell togetli
upon some lonely island where
j stony hearted age cannot vex us.
Come, my Elvira, our boat is
ready. Away.’ '
‘Just, what lie should have done
I cried Rachel by way of comment,
j Isaac sat up in bed—-a new idea
had entered his mind.
He might, after all, elope with
l Trot. Down on the shore of the
river many boats lay, and a sloop
stopped once a week, and a steam
er often came in sight.
He knew there were islands
not far away. Why should he
I wait to become a man ? He would
i elope with Trot tomorrow.
If it was right lor Theodore,
; who was a public character, be
I ing in a book, it was assuredly
right for him,'and he fell asleep
thinking of it.
He awoke thinking of it too,
and at !1 o’clock, having carefully
folded two slices of bread and
butter in paper, stuffed bis pock
; ets full ot pears and tied a sitil
ling he possessed in a corner of
his itankercliief, he went in search
of Trot?, whom he found rocking
her doll upon the little atone step
of the garden.
“Trot,” he said, “will you come
and take a walk ?”
•Yes,” said 'Trot, and put her
hand into his. Her mother sniil
ed and nodded from the window.
Hhe alvyays felt m|ite sale
abopt Trot when Isaac wan with
kef,
'They vanished outot her sight
band in hand, and little did she
guess the plans in little Isaac's
mind, or know that at that mo
ment he was saying to Trot :
“Trottv, dear, wouldn’t you
like to go away and live tprevei ,
on a beautiful
like Elvira and TliCi.^^BgjP^

lie gallantly led hem
wharf, along which at that mo
mold people with picnic baskets
were flocking on board of a
steamer.'
‘AH aboard for Muskadee Is
land?’ cried a man with a bell,
and Isaac helped Trot across the
plank.
‘Who pays for you, where’s
your folks !’ yelled another man
who was taking tickets.
Isaac pointed towards the point
at which theroof of his house were
visible.
The man fancied that lie had
indicated a fat lady with a bask
et, and said ;
•All right.’
And Isaac instantly dragged
Trot into the thick of the crowd,
and in live minutes more the
boat had left the wharf, and 'ftot
and Isaac were on their way to
the romantic island of the boy’s
dreams.
The sail was delightful.
Trot was amused by the sight of
the people, the sparkling water,
the dancing boat upon it.
Isaac was delighted.
About noon the Muskadee Is
land was reached.
'The crowd hurried on shore and
Trot was instantlv conveyed bv
Isaac to a green spot, where the
two sat down together, quite a
happy family, with the doll be
tween them.
•Isn iic : (•< (' asked Isaac.
‘Yes,’said Trot.‘l want mv din
ner.’
Isaac at once produced the
; bread and butter and Ihe pears,
they feasted.
After this Trot fell asleep.
Isaac took oil'his jacket and put
it under her head.
Then lie threw stones into the
water Tor a long while and finally
lay down upon the grass and fell
asleep also;
He was awakened by piercing
shrieks from ’Trot and started up
in horror.
'The sun was setting. The steam
| boat was not to be seen ; no more
i people were eating and drinking
on the grass; there was neither
dancing nor singing,
The picnic party had sailed a
j way. Isaac was alone with his
! Trot upon a bountiful islatiu, but
! somehow his bliss was not ait
j great as lie bad imagined that ii
j would be. And how 'Trot cried.
I—l- -want my mamma ! I-I
want my mamma! shrieked 'Trot.
‘Take me home to my—my mam
mu.’
‘Don’t you want to stay with
me, 'Trot ?! he asked, piteously.
‘1 want my mamma! 1 want my
papa! I want my supper?’ shriek
ed Trot.
Isaac was in despair, but he
bethought him of the picnic
ground, and there gathered up
the relics of the lea-iL —bite of
sponge-cake j scraps of cold chick
en, and cakes.
lie spread them before 'Trot.
'The child was hungry; the food
quieted her forawhile; bul the
tWo made short work of it, and
the tears Tell again, and the cries
began again, and now she want
ed not only her mamma and pa
pa, but her grandma and her ba
by brother, while lie began to
feel that after all, she was not
such good company as brother
He liny and cousin Moses, and to
remember that at this hour the
fish were Trying for supper in the
home tkifelien.
If the boat had been still tit j

It grew perfectly dark and

Then the rain beat down.
‘Trot, Trot!’ shrieked Isaac, in
despair.
For hours he roamed about,
striking against trees in the dark,
tripping, stumbling, w t to the
skin.
‘At lasi,," he ciied in a horrible
voice.
lie looked up. A tall, black
thing stood before him, He fell
sure that it was the ghost that
haunted the island and fell upon
his face in tlie mud.
Meanwhile Mrs. Jones had miss
ed Trot and Mrs. Jacobs hud be
gun to wonder where Isaac was.
The two mothers compared
notes. A search was begun. At
sunset the respective members eT
the two famlies and all their
friends and relations were scout
ing the country or having hvster
ics at home
Rumors of all sorts were afloat.
They were drowned murdered
carried a way. It appeared to both
mothers most likely that people
who were envious of such chei
litis: had been lying in wait, for
there offspring for days.
The inhabitants of the village
were rather pleased at the
thought of a real tragedy. 'The
guardians of the law advised the
shreiking mothers * to keep cool,’
and were evidently suspicious
that they had killed them them
selves and felt a great longing to
arrest all parties.
’The evening passed. Night
came. 'The rain beat upon the
village.
Old Ot a mil at her I'oke mightily
interested in the news stood by
the tavern door and every now
and then said • Cunts.
Finally at 10 o’clock he deliv
ered himself of these words:
‘ When I see urn at the picnic
they were as safe and well as
any ol um. Midi is life.’
‘ At the picnic!’ shriekefl a
jfemale relative of the missing
Trot. • Where ? What ? 'Tell
me. I ’
‘ 'To the picnic at .Muskadee Is
land,’ replied Poke. ‘As I was
a coming away with mv basket I
see um both asleep on the grass,
as well as any of um.'
After this several people re
numbered that, they had seen
Isaac, throwing stones into the
water, witli a forlorn hope enter
ed a boat at once and rowed
through the rain to Muskadee.
It was just a black mass in the
'moonless night.
’The lightning Hashed ami the
thunder rolled over it.
It. was hard to make a lauding,
hard to bear each other’s voices,’
but the mother’s ear is sharp.
'The poot little women who had
come with the men because they
could not stay at home listened
intently.
‘ Hark!’ cried Mrs, Jacobs.
•I hoar something. it is Isaac’s
voice -be i , calling Trot.'
But Mrs, Jones beard something
else.
She scarcely wailed lor a sate
footing - she rushed wildly to
wardes the sound.
• Mamma, mamma !’.
There yonder glimmered some
thing white.

was a young Ensign, Author (J.,
; quite a lad in years, being only
17. He was an orphan with no
| near relations, and his guardians
, had yielded to his enthusiastic
love for a military life, lie bail
been a year with (’apt. W’s. rogi

and feel an incrosing languor and
sense of illness, very depressing

greatly beloved ; in fact, lie was

After some weeks of total pros

attendant, and, anxious to give a
last chance of recovery to one so
I young and so amiable, tlie (Jener

that his young patient had borne
