BY D.JB. FREEMAN. “THAT MINISTER.” BY MISS R. HUDSON. “I'm suro l don’t see the necessity of your making such a fuss ! Iu my young days girls didn’t use to fly into a passion just because they were advised to marry the one, among their many beaux, who Was best off in the world 1 You’re per fectly ridiculous,Kitty;” and Mrs. Dun ham, a sharpfaced widow of forty years, knitted away, indignantly. Her daughter Kitty, with a flush of vexation on her cheeks, and an unmis* takable pout on her lips, went on seW Irtg in silence. A silenco that aggrava ted the mother into further speech. “Most girls would be glad lo marry Mr. Staunton, a likely young ma* and a minister, too. It’s so respectable to be a minister’s wife !” “Is it 7 Well, mother, suppose I wait till lie asks me to marry him. He hasn’t yet, you know,” put in Kitty, with a toss of the brown curls that had fallen over her eyes. “Humph ! It’s easy enough to seo Which way the wind blows. lie’ll ask you, fast euough, and, Kitty, 1 do hope you won’t be such a goose as to refuse him. A girl in your circumstances too—” Kitty dropped the stockirfg she was darning, for the mist of tears in her eyes made it impossible for her to seo a thread, and answered spiritedly : “I don’t care what my circumstances are. I should be just such a goose ! I can’t bear Mr. Staunton, you know I can’t 1 I’d rather take in washing than marry him Mrs. Dunham looked in despairing deprocation, from the tearful face to the docorous picture of Kitty’s dead fath er, hung upon the wall, and back again. “Kitty, you’re positively wicked.— There never was a better young man. A real Christian ; (and getting such a salary) 7” “1 never did like ministers !” sobbed Kitty, “never! and the girls have plagued me about this one until I just hate the sight of him, I can’t help it,” she went on more boldly ; “and as for my marrying him, why, ho isn’t the only matt itt the world I” “lie’s the only man likely to propose to you, except that good-for-nothing Mr. Sidney, who spends cfciy cent ho earns on drejs. Now, whether you like iVor not, Kitty, you can and must be civil to Mr. Staunton. lie’s coming here to tea to-morrow evening.” Kitty’s cyos flushed. '■‘Coming here to tea ! and on Thanks# giving evening ! Why, Sophia aud the children a r o coming, and I meant to have such a good time ! Now that stupid minister will spoil it all.” And Kitty dropped her work basket with a crash, and leaving the contents scatter ed on the carpet, ran out of the room. Thanksgiving morning dawned cold and clear. A light snow that had fall en during the night, lay over the ground Kitty Dunham lifted her gray skirts daintily as she tripped to church with the cherry ribbons on her bonnet fluttering gayly in the sunshine. Kitty had somewhat regained 1 he? good temp* r, and even managed to smile as she bowed to Mr. Staunton in the church porch. It must be confessed, however, that she did not once glance toward the minister during service, but sat study ing the carpet beside her feet, wonder ing if Mr. Sydney was in his pew, and wondering still more what! had kept her mother at home; for Mrs. Dunham had, for the first time within Kitty’s re membrance, stayed from church on Thanksgiving day. The minister, in deed, was not attractive to contemplate, lie was a tali thin young mau, awkward of motion, with a pale face, painfully light hair, and rather pathetic blue eyes hidden behind glasses ; yet the lank figure always gained a certain dignity in the pulpit, and the voice that talked this morning of the goodness of God was rather sweet than otherwise. At home, Mrs. Dunham and her daughter Sophia were deep in the mys teries of cookery. Doth flew about en ergetically, casting anxious glances at the clojk. As tho last stroke of twelve reverberated through the kitchen, Mrs. Duuharn came up the cellar stairs with the key of the further cellar in her hand. “Thero, Sophia ! Now just wash up a little, or she may suspect something It makes a good deal of cooking to have Thanksgiving and a surprise party come together ; but I be’ieve the last thing’s done and safe out of sight. Now don’t you allow those children of yours to lot the cat out of the bag. Bertha never would forgive me if Kitty should find out before they come !” Kitty’s demeanor during the Thanks- giving dinner aud the afternoon that followed was quite as usual, bhe frol° toked with the children, gossiped with Sophia, and was her own merry self, tiii twilight foil and tho minister rung at the door ; then Kitty retired into a corner, and scarcely uttered a word.— Mr. Staunton, noticing this, perhaps, appeared) eioeedingly unoomfortable in spite of the kindly efforts of the elder ladies to put him at ease. lie had a painful propensity to blush and stam mer, and he did not get on well with children* When supper was over aud they came back from the parlor, Kitty suppressed a yawn, aud prepared to settle into silence again; but, provo kingly, both her mother and Sophia had disappeared and left her guest on her hands. Resolved not to talk, Kitty took refuge behind throe albums and a portfobg of engravings, with wli oh she kept the ©igistor, busy; SJ-e v,.uJ pa- 81 TB3B 3HT| _ U P\ (Coll)oun Sitncs. tently going over tho list of photor graphed relatives, when a loud ring at the door caused the hearer to drop his lapful of books aud the speaker to rise in relieved fashion. Kitty opened the outor door and exclaimed aloud. The steps were crowded with people, the sidewalk was full, and shadowy detach ments were in the street. The merry voice of a wrapped-up figure, foremost among the throng, inquired it Miss Kitty Dunham were at home. Kitty stood confounded a moment, then, laughing in her gleeful girlish way, threw the door wide open and wel comed her unexpected guests heartily. Iu five minutes the parlor was full, and Sophia, and Mrs. Dunham, and Mr. Siaunton were the centre of a group of talkers A gay evening followed. No nee<| to describe it, for who has not attended old-fashioned surprise parties 7 Kitty, of oourse,~was queen of the occasion, and a very uncomfortable queen she was. As if by common consent, “that hateful minister”—Kitty was growing to consider him more and more hateful —was constantly thrust upon her ; and the meaning smiles and double entendres she had to encounter from her girl friends, made her downright angry.— In dances, she was beset by sly allu sions. In games, all his forfeits, and they were numerous, had to be paid with her. Kitty never knew how many yards of tape she was obliged to measure with the minister that evening, or how many times she went to Rome with him. Tho only comfort was that he seemed to dislike it because she did, and would come up to her in such a deprecating way that she was ashamed to be ungracious; but his hopeless and awkward blunders —lor the minister was anything but at his ease in society —a'ways aggravated her so that she lost all patience. Once, for instance, while “picking cherries,” he stepped nervously backward, floundered off the. ottoman and nearly pulled her with bim ; again, in “going to Romo,” he bumped heads with the lady be was about to kiss; and Kitty could have borne it better if she had not seen Mr. Sidney’s satirical smile. Mr. Sidney, who had hardly spoken ’to her during the evening, but had been Bertha Riv er’s most devoted companion. It was hard, The young hostess would have given much to have sent her guests away, and to have iudulgod in a good cry. Her trials wore not yet over. In the little lull that always follows supper, Bertha Rivers arrested the general at tention by exclaiming : “Is there any ono here who doesn’t know the game of ‘Post-Office V ” Fivo or six persons of both sexes, professed ignorance; among others, Kitty aud tho minister. Bertha’s eyes sparkled. “Why, let’s play it ! It’s great fun. I’ll constitute myself doorkeeper.” The motion was seconded, silence at tained, and Walter Danvers, a good natured and nonplussed youth, was vo ted first post-master. Walter and Bertha disappeared in the hall, whenoo Bertha presently re turned, announcing that there was a letter for Miss Kitty Dunham. That young lady proceeded to the hall. As she entered it a r ms were thrown around her, and she received a hearty kiss “If this is the game,” laughed WaL ter, “1 rather like it!” Kitty scolded a little, settled her ruU fled attire, and then inquired : “Well, what now 7 Is this the end of the game 7” “Nonsense. You’re postmistress, vice Walter, removed. Walter, go back to the parlor. Nnvv, Kitty, whom havo you a letter for 7” Kitty, to get out of the difficulty ea sily, named a youthful cousin of hers. Bertha remonstrated. “He’s too young. You’re ttying a trick. I’ll fix you, Miss Kitty !” And the merry girl ran back to the parlor. Kitty heard her say —heard her only too plainly through the half-shut door : “Kitty has a letter for Mr. Staun ton.” The laugh that followed set the blood tingling in Kitty’s veins. She had reached the end of her endurance.— Looking desperately about for some way of escape, she chose the nearest door, a.d rushed into the spare bedroom, which had been given the gentlemen for a dressing-room. In her head'ong progress she came violently in contact with Mr. Sidney, who stood before the little old-fashioned glass that hung above the bureau, pulling the bow of his neck-ribbon straight. “O !” was the simultaneous exclama tion, supplemented on the gentleman’s side by : “Why, Miss Kitty! what’s the mat ter 7” “N-nothing,” stammered Kitty, scar let with mortification, “only we were playing posUoffico, and Bertha to plague me, I suppose —has just told Mr. Staunton that I had a letter for him. I ran in here to get rid of” — Kitty was going to say “him,” but subs stituted “it.” The listener realized the situation, and stopped Kitty as she was aboat to dive behind a pyramid of cloaks, with an inelegant but excited : “Hold on ! I’ll fix him !” In another moment Mr. Sidney had extinguished the hallolamp. In anoth er pulled a sheet from the spare room bed, and thrown it over him. He had just time to turn out the kerosene lamp on the mantle-shelf, to hush Kit tv s stifled laugh, and to glide out into the dark hall, beforo the parlor door opened, lettiug out a gush of voices aud laughter, uud tbeu closed behind, the minister, who evidently supposed the darkness to be a trick of the game, and stood perfectly still in a patch of moonlight. The white figure advanced. Mr. Staunton caught sight of it. and retreated up the entry ; for, poor ner vous youth that he was, his cheeks still hot with the bashful agony of the evening, he dreaded this embodiment of a new practical joke. Kitty watched, momently expecting that Bertha would appear. She did not. The two figures came slowly toward tho door behind which Kitty stood, one retreating, One advancing. As they approached, Kit ty threw tho door half open, and noise lessly retreated in her turn. Now, Mrs. Dunham’s house being an old-fashioned one, had as many old houses do have, somg*roomsiower than others. - Th e spare bedroom was nt least three feet lower than the hall, and three or four uarrow steps led dowu to it.— Mr. Sidney and Kitty never thought of these steps, and Mr. Staunton had no knowledge of them; so it happened, that, when tho latter, with ono hand raised to ward off white figure fol lowing, attempted to step within Urn dark dressing.ipom, he lost his balance and fell sidefaiee, striking heavffy against the bureau!* I Tho people poured out of the parlor, alarmed by Kitty’s scream. The min ister lay on the floor, motionless and white, the two discovered culprits bend ing over him. Kitty cast one glance at Mr. Sidney, which said plainly as words, “Get a doctor !” He was gone in a moment, and without answering a single one of the que dons dinned into her cars, Kitty watched the gen tlemen raise the inanimate figure and lay it on the bed. The doctor anived miraculously soon. Knots of curious people waited in hall and parlor. Kitty, in the doorway, sii lently her hands, fearing the minister was dead. When the doctor at last sent them all away, stating, with professional brevity, that it “wasn’t so bkd ds it might be/’ she drew a long breath of relief. “lie’s got a bad blow on the head, and has broken his arm.” Poor Kitty! as if that were not bad enough ! No murderer could have felt more guilty than the young girl, as she hurried here aud there for bandages and restoratives. Energetic Mrs. Dunham would have been in her element if the condition of the patient had not been alarming.— When ho was brought out ot his heavy stupor, he became delirious, and for days continued so. There was no thought of removing him to his lodg ings. If Mrs. Dunham ever wearied of tending him, Kitty did not. Night and day she was with him until the crisis was past, alleviating his suffering if she could, or sitting silent and pale, listening while he ;onstantly called her name in lus delirium He talked of her so constantly, in fact, that Mrs. D turned everybody out of the house except the doctor. What Kitty felt, us she heard over and over again the unconscious telling of the minister’s love for her, cannot be told ; but when Mr. Staunton was him self agaij—his old quiet patient self— with a certain spirituality of expression in tho blue eyes that told how near he had been to the other world—Kitty was changed. The gay girl had grown so ber, and thoughtful, and self forgetful. She would sit for hours in the sick room, for Mr. Staunton’s lack of strength was almost pitiable, reading to him, and attending to his slightest want with unvarying kindness. It would have been hard to be unkind to,him, indeed, for his gentleness, thankfulness and patient endurance sometimes brought the tears into his nurse’s eyes. Kitty then heard the story of his life ; heard that h the only son of a widowed and poor woman, toiled for a collegiate education, while his mother sacrificed the best yea s of her life to aid him in the struggle; and when, at last, he was independent and compara tively wealthy, ready to repay his debt of kindness, his mother died. Watch ing tho blue eyes of tho narrator fill with tears, Kitty’s own were suffused. A month’s nursing and anxiety paled Kitty’s cheeks. One day, as she was making some slight purchases at Mr. Sidney’s dry goods establishment, that young man, who had been confounded by her qudden coldness toward him, ex claimed : “Why, Miss Kitty, you’re positively growing haggard ! That vampire of a minister annoys you still, I see, and you feel obliged to take care of him because you partly caused his accident. I think you’ve fully discharged your obligation by all these weeks of nursing. It’s too bad, that, disliking him as you do, you should have him quartered ou you so long !” Mr. Sidney was checked by the utter absenco of assent in the face on the other side cf the counter, and by the frigid tones that said : “I told you five yards of ribbon, Mr. Sidney. You are cutting six.” It was ®nly three days after that the minister went back to his lodgings with his health scarcely restored, but unable to reconcile prolonged idleness with his conscience. Went, leaving gratitude and regard, and as many substantial tokens of both as would be received. Weut without expressing any bve except as his eyes told it. Perhaps Kitty was disappointed.— Perhaps she missed him as she sat alone that night, but there were no evidences of it.' The months went on, and Kitty did not get back her roses. People won dered at her sudden sobriety and less vigorous health. Others, noting her sedulous atteudauoe at church, believed. CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 4. 1877. she Was experiencing a change of heart. Spring came, and the influence of the languid days made her more listless still. Her mother was really alarmed about her, but to any suggestions of change Kitty offered quiet and effectual oppo sition. Mr. Staunton went and came, like a quiet earnest friend, and Mrs. Dunham gradually resigned the hope of his being anything more. One warm evening in May, Mr. Staunton waited for Kitty after even ing lecture, and asked the privilege of walking home with her. She assented —with how different feelings from those of old I—and they spaced si wly up the moonlighted street.* Blossoms scented the air, and odors were wafted from wayside gardens. The two young per- Borw, yielding to fc ty influence of the ime, were very silent for a while ; then Mr. Staunton said : “Miss Kitty ” —he always called her Miss Kitty— : “l have something to tell you.” Kitty’s hand trembled as it lay on his arm, but her voice was steady as she nskeebr . “What 7” r - rm “I can’t help feeing as if you were interested in uiy plaias,” he said, halt apologetically, “sine* you were so kind to me—kmder tharrunv woman except my mother has everhieen ; so I wanted to tell you, first of any, that I am going away. I have had a oall from a city congregation, and lain going to accept it.” There wa* not a word of answer. — The houses, the moonlight, the shadows wore whirling before Kitty’s eves. If Mr. Staunton had net held her she wou’d have fallen. “You are ill !” he cried in alarm. But Kitty had regained her senses, and vnswered with a voice only a shade fainter than usual ; “Yes, a little. I have not been well for a long time.; but It is over now.” She was conscious of a half-wish that life were over, too; and a sudden pity for herself brought quick tears to her eyes. She could not* control tho flood of emotion that was coming over her. She knew she could not, and with a last effort of pride she stopped before Sophia’s house. “I want to go in here a minute.” “Give me a few moments !” be said, p'eadingly.* “I must tell you what I feel. I cannot go—why, Miss Kitty, you aro crying!” Two hours later, Mrs. Dunham, doz ing in her rocking-chair, was waked up by Kilty and the minister, who stood smilingly, side by side, before her.— Mrs. Dunham stared at either and at both, and finally opened her lips. “Well, I declaro! Kitty Dunham, you dou’t mean to say you’re going to marry That minister V ” An Efficient Remedy. “That’s your bill, sir,” said the gro cer, smiling pleasantly. “I tell you it can’t be,” persisted the Division-street man, beginning to look scared. “Why, here’s fifty-six dozen clothes-pins in a two months’ bill.— What on earth do you lake me fur?—a four-story laundry 7” “But it’s your bill: Your wile* can explain it to you; she ordered them.” “My wife 7” gasped the debtor. “Yes, sir.” The unfortunate man clutched the bill, ja aimed it into his pocket, and hurried straight home. He bolted into the house without any abatement of speed, and,flinging the . paper on the table before his - wife, knocked his hat on the back of his head, and said : “Martha Ann Johnson, what, does ! this mean 7 There is just fifty-six dozen clothes-pins in Benson’s bill for the past two months, and he says you or dered every blessed one of them.” “And so I did,” said she, demurely. “IVhat ! Fifty-six dozen clothes-pins in two months?” and he shot down in to a chair as if a treigh-t car had fallen on top of him. “Fifty six dozen ‘clothes.-pins in two months 7” he howled.- “Will a free country stand i that 7” “I tell you, Reuben Wheeler John* son, you needn’t sta e at me that way, nor go calling on tho country to help you. I ordered those clothes-pins my- : self, and I havo burnt every one of them in that there stove, just becuuse you were too all-fired lazy to cut a stick of wood; and 1 declare* before I’ll be bothered jawing and fighting to get you to cut .rood, I’!l burn up every cloth.es pin in the land, and you shall pay for them, if you have to sell the shirt on your back—so now !” and Mrs. (Johnson, with a face like scarlet, snatched up the broom and commenced sweeping the carpet as if every flake of dust Were a red-hot coal-, while the unhappy Mr. Johnson hastened to the store and paid the bill. And before dark that night, he bad half a cord of wood sawed, split, and piled up ready for use. FOR CASH. We defy competition, and from this date wc sell goods for cash only wth out descriminatiofi.
