CO NST IT UTIONALIST. SUNDAY MORNING, OCT. (i, 1807. [From the People’s Magazine. THE WREATH OF MALLOW. An English picture of the fifteenth cen tury ; a village green, three sided ; around the green, three rows of uneven cottages : in its midst, a pool where ducks were taking sin evening swim ; beside the pool, a great shady oak with a seat and a well beneath it. On the rustic seat were two old men, chatting in old cracked voices, and at the well a girl in a red kittle was drawing wa ter. Tiie sun, beginning to sink, threw flakes of bright rose-color on the girl’s head, the ducks’ backs, the shiny side of the oak leaves. At one side, of the village rose a soft hill dotted with juniper bushes and fringed atop with oaks and beeches, among which a proud castle hid all but its topmost towers from the lower world. On the other side stood a church on a tree-strewn, grave sown bank. It was a small church; the chancel walls were new and as yet unfinish ed ; the fresh clean stone wore a rosy flush in the evening sunlight; there was a hum of voices around the building; masons were packing up their tools and leaving work for the night. Presently they came, laughing and chattering, into the village; some came to rest on the seat beneath the oak and hailed the old men— “ Well, gaffer, how goes the world with you?” One or two to help the girl with her bucket; a couple who had walked together talking as far as the well, parted there, and one went straight to a cottage facing the church. At an open window of that house a poor thin little face was look ing out at the sweet country scene ; a white face, sadly old, yet sadly young, with hollow, thoughtful eyes, and two thin hands to prop it up. When the workman came to that window (which was nothing more than a square hole with shutters) a smile cafoe over his hard countenance as lie nodded his head cheerily to the owner of the paleface, who smiled back in his turn very sweetly Inside the cottage, one could see that this face, which was as delicate as a girl's belonged to a boy, perhaps fourteen years old, but crooked and stunted in growth, who was hall lying, halt kneeling on a wooden bench with both elbows propped on the window-sill. One could see this, indeed, though but faintly, on com ing out of the pure out-door air, for chim neys were -us yet only luxuries for monas teries and great men’s houses ; and the smoke from the cottage lire, over which the ip son’s wife was cooking the supper in an iron pot, came wreathing and curling about the room, all slow and graceful and graj, before it found its way out at the window, or at the hole in the roof intended for its accommodation. The workman set down his basket of tools with a long breath, which told that he thus laid aside, not only the burden of their weight, but also the burden of his day's labor. Then he came up to the boy, and laid his hand tenderly on the high, deformed shoulder. _ “Well, Martin,” he said. JNo more, for words were hard things to him; but the bov « lerstood his father, and put up one hand to clasp the strong, rough one which lav on his neck. The two hands made a great contrast, and were a little history n themselves. Father and son looked out to gether at the green, the pool, the chattering people; but Martin’s eyes rested most fondly on tfie church. “How happy you must be, father, he saidt,*%t last. ~ The mason gave a loud “ha-ha!” “-©dyou hear what the lad says, wile ? are you not very happy?” asked 2ri-u)cclUii Constitutionalist. ft * Martin, raising his look wonderingly to his father’s face. “ I don’t know, boy; one doesn’t think of such things as being happy when one has to work for bread.” . But the happiness is that you can do such beautiful work for bread, and serve the Lord, too, at the same time,” replied Martin, eagerly. Here the mother, who had poured from the |K>t on to a great wooden disli a piece of beef garnished with cabbage, and swimming in the broth which it had been boiled in, came up to her little son, and, saying that supper was ready, took him in her arms as easily as if he had been still a baby, and propped him up on an oaken settle, with a black sheepskin, soft and thick, rolled into a bolster to support him. The father asked a blessing on the food, and then they began to eat. “A supper fit for a prince,” said the ma son. “Tt is a good piece of meat,” answered the wife. “They have had guests at the castle, and there was much fiesli and good white bread also given away at the gates to-day.” “ Father,” asked Martin, presently, while pecking at his supper as delicately as a bird, with but little appetite for the meal.— “ Father, did not the master-builder come with you tp the oak ?” “Yes, boy, lie did.” “He was talking to you like a friend, father.” “ He talked as pleasant and easy as Rich ard Longcheek might have done ; he told me all that has to be done in our church.” “O, father, tell me!” cried Martin, with sparkling eyes. “ Well, when we have finished the chan cel, with its line fretwork and all the diffi cult tracery in the east window, which the master will,have to do himself, there will be painted on the walls, the miracles of the blessed Saint Silveston.” “ Who will paint those, father?” “ Some men are coming across the sea, from the land called Italy, to do them, so the master told me. But the pictures will be a year or more a painting; we shall have finished our work long before that.” “Have you more than the chancel to build, father?” “Yes, boy, we have to put up two screens of tine, open work, like the great window, at the east end of the south aisle, to a chapel, where Sir Simon de Ilarcourt and the dame his wife will be laid when they are dead ; and a grand tomb will be raised \ or them, with their figures carved in stone Squares. 1 Week. 2 Weeks. I 3 Weeks. 1 Month. 2 Months. |3 Months. 4 Months. 5 Months. 6 Months “The Dame Mildred passed through the village to-day, and she smiled kindly on me,” said Martin. “ She had a queer thing over her head, like the church steeple for shape, made all of fine .blue silk, and a veil of lawn hung down her back from the top of it.” “ People bring back such follies when they go to Loudon,” said the wife. “ I like the old ways best; but it is lit for the no bles to have new and fine things, and the Lady Mildred is a good woman.” “ Sir Simon is a thrifty man and a gene rous,” added her husband, “to spend his money on the church-building.” “It will cost a great sum, beyond a doubt.” “ A great sum ! It will cost a good thou sand pound, the master tells me.” “A thousand pound!” cried both mother and son ; for a pound was of more value at the close of the fifteenth century than it is now. “ And yet Sir Simon de Ilarcourt is not so rich as some of his neighbors,” added the Wile. “ His lands are not br<>ud, i-ct he is none of your rash noinetf. like iFiave heard tell of, who had fifty suits of golden tissue ; and instead of building one of these new fashioned mansions of wood, all carved and plastered, he is content to live in stone, as liis fathers did.” “But if he were to build him anew house, it would be new work for you,” said the wife. “True, wife ; but in the end I like better to see those that can live in stone, as they did in the fair old times, before these luxu ries came in of chimneys and soft sleep ing.” After a little pause Martin heaved a*deep sigh. “What is it, child?” asked the mother tenderly. “ Are you in pain ?” “No ; but I do wish I could work in the church, like father,” he answered, in a low voice. The mason laughed. “ You’ll never do that, boy,” lie said. But the mother understood her son bet ter, and laid her hand softly on his thin lingers. “Now we must show father something, shall we ?” she said. Martin nodded ; and going to an oaken locker, she opened it, and brougt out a fresh stone crocket or finial, delicately carved in the shape of three young fern fronds ; two tightly curled up, and nodding towards each other ; the third just opened enough to bend like a graceful feather over its little sisters. Tiie mason took it and turned it over and over, while Martin looked on with anxious eyes and panting breast. “ That’s a good hit of work,” said the father. “ That’s the master’s doing. Who gave it you ?” Martin’s cheeks flushed red with joy, and his eyes gleamed mischievously, but the mother was too proud to keep the secret. “ It's our Martin’s,” site said. “ What do you mean ? Who did it ?” “ Our Martin himself; he did it.” “ Martin ! you!” The mason looked with a puzzled air from his son to his wife and back again. “ He has been working day by day when you were* out, with his grandfather’s old tools which you gave him, ’said the woman; “ but he would not let me speak a word till he had done something lit to show you. Isn’t it pretty now ? Look at the leaves, for all the world like a bit of fern.” The mason turned the finial over and over between his finger and thumb, mut tering an occasional “ hum, hum !” of ad miration and pleasure. “ How did you get the fancy of it, boy ?” “ One day when you carried me to the foot, of the church bank, and I waited there all the morning. I played with some little ferns, and thought how pretty they would be in stone, and resolved to try if I could not make them.” “ Good strokes; fair strokes; hum, hum !” murmured the mason. Very timidly, Martin edged himself along the settle to his father’s elbow, and look ing in his face with wistful eagerness, said— “ There is a thing I have so longed to ask of you, father.” “ What is it, boy ?” asked the mason, still holding the bit of stone in one hand while he laid the other round his son’s neck. “ I long to do some work, if ever so lit tle, in the church. I think I should so dearly like a piece of my own handiwork, that is, a piece of myself, to be always in the dear church long after I am gone where I cannot see it.” The workman looked puzzled. “ But building up is hard to do, child.— One must run up ladders and carry mortar, and go from place to place.” “Yes, father, in building, but not in carving. O, if you would but show those little ferns to the master, and ask him whether a poor little boy, who longs to do it very much, might carve a wreath in the church! This is what I have thought, father. The heads of the pillars are all rough and plain. Might I not cut a wreath of flowers on one of them ? Then I should think that a little bit of me would be there always when the good fathers are preach ing about Christ; and it would be a tiny offering, also, and something to show that there was such a boy as Martin once in Awburg village, who did all he could for God.” “ Well, lad, it might be, in time,” replied the mason. “ But you are too weak now; ! -- cu could not stand to the work. Wait a while till you are stronger, and then I will ask.” ’ Martin fixed two grave eyes on his father. “ Father, dear,” he said, “ I don’t think I shall ever be stronger. I don’t think I shall ever see the fine pictures in the church.— But O ! I do so long to do some little, little work for God before I die. I have heard such beautiful things of' Heaven and of the Lord Jesus, that I cannot rest nor sleep for longing to leave behind me some sign of my thankfulness.” “ Tush, tush, boy !” stammered the ma son ; but his eyes were red, and the mother wiped hers with her apron. On the next day the mason spoke to the master-builder of the wish of his little son, and at sunset, when work was over, the master came to see Martiu. He was dressed in better clothes than the rest, and looked to the boy almost as grand and great a gen tleman as Sir Simon himself. He was very kind, and praised Martin’s fern leaves high ly. Pie promised to grant him leave, if pos sible, to do some work in the church, but he must first speak to Sir Simon de Harcourt on the subject. At parting he put his finger under the lad’s chin, and, turning the pale, thin face to him, looked at it with pity. “ You must make haste to get strong,” he said, “and then you can come and join my band and be a free mason, going about from place to place* to build'churches and halls.” Martin’s eyes glisteued at the thought, but he shook his head and answered— “ Thank you, sir, but that will never be.” Two days later the master came again, to tell the boy that his wish might be granted if he could design a wreath lit to adorn the church. The Lady Mildred came also, on her palfrey, with her blue steeple towering above her head and the lawn veil floating round her sweet young face. She alighted at the cottage door, and came with a gentle grace towards the hard settle where tiie boy lay, first courteously greeting his mother. Martin blushed with pride and pleasure to see the lady of the place come walking up to him in that kind, queenly way. She laid her hand on his curls and sat down beside him on the settle. “ So you, too, wish to make an offering to the Lord,” she said, smiling as sweetly, thought Martin, as angels must smile, j r e murmured something, he hardly knew what. “ May He bless and accept your work,” she continued, reverently. “It is a good thought which he has given you.” “ But his father cannot see how lie may reach the top of the pillar, which is ten feet high, nor how he may stand there to carve the wreath, when mounted, iny lady,” said the mother. Martin looked up eagerly. “O, mother! I can stand,” he began. “ I and the master builder will contrive that you shall have your wish,” said Dame Mildred ; atid her manner gave security to the boy, it said so clearly, “ What I will is done. Now she had willed and the matter was accomplished. In a few days more Martin heard through his father that it had been arranged for him to sit at his work in a chair, which should be slung from the clerestory windows with ropes, and with other ropes fixed firmly to the pillar. All that remained was for him to design a wreath worthy to adorn the church. This took now all his time and thoughts, and morning and evening, as he knelt beside the straw pallet which was his bed, with a wooden bolster fora pillow, he prayed: “ O Lord, I pray Thee grant me power to do this little work, to be forever a sign that Thou hast been so good and loving tff me.” <4od answered 4Jie child’s prayer and gave him strength, iA wart through the means of the sweet Dame Mildred, who often thought of the lamfe boy, and sent liim dainties from ’• >r own table, and even a flock mattress and bolster; luxuries which made his mother say that they were as rich as if they lived in a palace, for no king could lie'softer or eat better fare. People in tiie village, hearing of Martin’s great desire, used to gather and bring to him the largest flowers and brightest leaves they could find, to help him in forming his wreath, but none quite satisfied him. One day, as he sat propped up by his sheep skiu, with a heap of leaves spread out upon the table before him, and with an eager yet hopeless look in his eyes, for all these vain efforts were tiring him, and causing him to fear that he could not please the master, a little child, so tiuy it could scarcely toddle, came rolling in at the cottage d<jpr with his lap full of common mallow, the great reel flowers and massy leaves making up a clumsy bunch as the baby held them. She had gathered them for Martiu, off the church burk, and brought them in the kind wish of her generous little heart to give him pleasure. She held the flowers up to him with some baby prattle, and when he had taken them from her she toddled out again to her mother’s cottage. The clusters looked ugly and hopeless enough at flrst to Martin, but as he placed them idly this way and that, an idea struck him suddenly and his face brightened. When his mother returned with her bucket of water, from*a gossip at the well, she found her boy crouch ing on the floor before the hearthstone, on which, with a cinder, he had drawn a bit of a wreath of mallow, the heavy leaves lapping one over the other, and a flower peeping out here and there. “ What a brave wreath !” cried the moth er. “O, mother! if the master builder would but think so !” exclaimed Martin, flushing. The master builder did think so. “ Why, my boy, you have designed as brave a wreath as I have seen this year.” he said. So Martin’s cup of joy was full, and in three days more the chair was swung up to the pillar, and the little lame boy, Avith his wan cheeks and happy eyes, was carried in tenderly by his father and seated in his airy throne. The workmen called it his throne, laughing, and he thought that no king was ever prouder nor happier than he. Before he drew a line upon the stone he sent up again his simple prayer: “ Lord, strengthen my weak hands, and accept my Avork, I pray Thee.” The priest came in and blessed him in God’s name, and then he felt strong indeed. So, day by day, the sick boy was carried to his plaee, and his thin hands, daily growing thinner, Avielded the chisel well.— The flowers opened, the leaves twined on one another lovingly in graceful clusters as the time Aveut. on. He placed the despised Aveed, Avliich had done its poor best to adorn the graA'es, where it could be a beauty to the eyes forever. “I, too, am a Aveed,” he thought some times. “Itis a great honor for me to be able to add one grace to God’s house.” In spite of Lady Mildred’s dainties and of his warm soft bed, he greAV paler and thinner, and it was seen by all that God would soon take him. As the garland grew its maker faded. The Avork went on sloAvly ' towards the last, for his hands were feeble and he Avould let no one but himself add a stroke to the Avreath. Besides, there were many days on Avhich ne could not leave the cottage. At last the other masonry was done; the chancel was roofed anti finished, the glass was in the Avindow; the walls in deed were as yet unpainted, but that was a work of time. A day Avas fixed for the re opening of the newly decorated church. — The day came. It was autumn now, and chilly, but people thronged from far and near to see the fair new chancel which Sir Simon de Harcourt had built. The choris ters sang their sweet hymn; the early sun gleamed in through the dainty fretwork of the Aviudows; the Lady Mildred and her husband knelt hand in hand beside the chapel where one day their bodies Avould lie side by side, when their souls were gone to rest; and a boy, with a face which seemed but the shadow of a face, carried in the arms of a strong man, raised two great bright eyes to a wreath of mallow carved upon the capital of a column in the nave, and thought: “ Sir Simon and the dame will have their figures on their tofnbs when they die, and I shall have the little weed for my monument, to hear the sweet hymns, and offer up my soul upon its leaves to the Saviour day by day,” AUGUSTA, (Gai} SUNDAY MORNl&O, OCTOBER 6 t 1867 Within fourteen days the wreath of mal low was the only visible sign left of little Martin on this earth. There it twines yet, his monument forever. The leaves are graceful still and perfect, and the flowers peep out modestly from the foliage. One of the band of free masons carved on two other columns wreaths'of leafage—hops on one, and on the other, vine; but there is something of a tender, living grace in the mallow garland which the others miss, for a soul and a flickering life were bound up with it.

Can he sold by the pound or ton, as cheaply as the heavy hoops and less perfect lies. Each and every TIE is warranted perfect. As an eVidenee of The estimation in which these TIES are held, we herewith append the certificate of the Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. If a competent judge can be found anywhere as to the merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely be so considered, us he presses thousands of bales of Cotton every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass ing through his hands. Office of the Centrai. Cotton Press, } Savannah, May 27th, 1867. y Messrs. E. W. Sims Cos., Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” Savannah. Dear Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton, I have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari ous Ties for iron hands used in baling Cotton, and pleasure in testifying to the superiority overall others of the ‘-UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad justed and is much stronger than any other Tie. A Tie that is not good at the Press is not good at the Plantation, as nearly all the Cotton is compressed at the Ports, and a weak Tie must then he replaced by a good one at the expense of the planter. 1 have never seen one of your TIES break, though I pitched a bale of Cotton secured by them out of a econd story to the ground witiiout any break to the fall. Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom mend the “ UNI VERSA L TIE ” to every Planter, as combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled strength. H. W.
