[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

“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.

COTTON Tffi AND I HON HOOPS.
nn
Ills 'IT If, with the HOOP complete, weighs no
more than the usual rope used in baling cotton, and
lenders an allowance fur tare unnecessary. It looses
no slack while putting on, and is so perfect that tb»
necessity for heavy hoopi lo make up for deliclencio
in the TIE, is entirely- obviated.
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.
