THE DRUM.
BY JAMES W. RILE V.
O, the drum!
There is some
Intonation in thy glum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the spirit
dumb,
As we hear
Through the clear - ?;
And unclouded atmosphere,
The rumbling palpitations roll in upon the earl
There's a part
Of the art
Of thv music throbbing heart.
That thrills a something in us that awakens with
a start,
And in rhyme
With the chime
And exactitude of time,
Goes marching on to glory lo thy melody sub
lime. And the guest
Of the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Is a patriotic spirit as a continental dressed;
And he looms
From the gloom
Of a century of tombs,
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in living
beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
Of a nature pure and wise;
And the love of them is lilted to something in
the skies,
That is bright
Red and white,
With a blur of starry light,
And it laughs in silken ripples to the breezes day
and night.
There are deep
Hushes creep
O'er the pulses as they leap, .
And the murmur fainter growing, on the silence
falls asleep;
While the praver
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As a heritage for Freedom's sons and daughters
everywhere.
Then with sound
As profound
As the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in a throe that
shakes the ground,
And a cry
Flung on high
Like the flag it flutters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in the
sky.
A Poem by Winona Silver.
I sat in the editorial sanctum (the
chief was in Europe, and consequently
I had twice as much work as nsnal to
do) toiling through a long manuscript
and wishing with all my heart that the
distinguished writer had seen fit to use
the familiar letters of the alphabet in
stead of hieroglyphics of his own, in
distinctly resembling them, when there
came a light tap at the door. "Come,"
I called, rather sharply, for I was a lit
tle vexed at being interrupted, and the
door opening slowly, disclosed a lightly -clad
much too lightly-clad for a
cold January day; I saw that at a
glance girlish figure standing on the
threshold.
"Are you the editor Mr. Gray?"
asked a very sweet, timid voice.
" I am," I replied. " Come in,
please."
The girl entered, closed the door, sat
down in the chair beside my desk, to
which I motioned, and said never a
word. I could hear her breath coming
quickly, as though she were terribly
frightened, and I purposely went on
with the unraveling of the Oriental
characters before me to give her time to
recover herself; for I remembered with
painful distinctness my own first call
upon an editor (knowing intuitively
this was a first call) when my heart, al
beit it was a manly one, thumped harder
than it ever thumped before or since.
At last I raised my eyes from the paper.
My visitor had thrown back her veil,
from which dripped little drops of water
melted snow and was regarding me
with a wistful, beseeching gaze. In re
turn I regarded her with one of aston
ishment, for hers was the sweetest and
most touching face I had ever seen in
my life, and so peculiar in its beauty
that I find it hard to describe it. Big,
pathetic light brown eyes, with glints of
gold in them; long bronze-brown
lashes; hair of the palest sunshine, as
though moonlight and sunshine had
mingled together; slightly parted rosy
lips, revealing a glimpse of small white
teeth; colorless but prettily-rounded
cheeks; and over all that indescribable
charm of innocence that is to youthful
beauty, to use old and well-worn sim
iles, as the bloom to the peach and the
fragrance to the, rose.
"What can I do for you?" I asked,
speaking gently enough this time.
"I have a story," stammered the
poor little thing, "which I thought you
might It'B my first and if you only
would"
"I will look over it with pleasure, " I
said, as she paused, apparently unable
from sheer nervousness to go on. "Leave
it to me, and I promise to give it my'
earliest attention."
And as she handed me the roll of pa
per, I saw she wore no gloves, and her
hands were red with cold; but I saw they
were exceptionally pretty as her face,
with slender, tapering fingers, and pink
sheel-like nails."
"It is not written on very nice paper,"
she said, rising, as I took the manuscript
from her. "I had nothing but scraps of
old letters and backs of circulars and
bills; but" with. a gleam of modest pride
and a glance at the hieroglyphics "I
write very plainly and it will not take you
long to read it. And when may I call
for an answer?"
"To-morrow," said I without a mo
ment's hesitation, though I knew I
ought to devote all the time I could
spare from my other duties for weeks to
the very lengthy contribution of the dis
tinguished author.
"Thank you," and she flitted away as
noiselessly as she had entered.
But for the life of me I could not for
get her. Wherever my gaze fell, there
I beheld those great pathetic eyes, that
faint golden hair, those prettily curved
trembling lips. "And she was cold.
Cold! I shoui ! think so actually shiv
ering in that thin shawl, while I, great
strong fellow" (looking at my heavy
overcoat hanging on the opposite wall.)
"Pshaw! you may stay there to-night."
And I actually went home without it, as
though that would make the poor little
girl any warmer, and caught a severe
cold in consequence, as T might have
known I would. After which ebulliton
I began the Btory, and read it through.
It was written plainly, that could not
be denied; in fact, in the way of chirog
raphy, it was all that could be desired;
and there were some pretty and fairly
original ideas in it, and some gleams of a
poetic nature; but the plot was so highly
romantic and visionary, and the whole
thing so evidently the work of one who
had not yet even mastered the primer of
authorship, that it was impossible to
give it a place in the publication of
which I was junior editor.
But never did the necessity of saying
"No" so distress me before, not even
when Alveretta Strawhorn, since known
as the author of "A Riddle Solved by a
Cimeter," told me that, in spite of my
rejection of her novelettes, "the laurel
wreath of fame would encircle her brow
when I was still groveling, the obscurest
of the obscure."
I slept but little that night, thinking
of it. Something told me it would al
most break the girl's heart. Should I
accept it, pay for it myself, and then con
sign it to the waste basket? No, that
would not do, for she would be anxiously
watching for its appearance in print, and
bringing more stories meanwhile for my
consideration. What could 1 do? Morn
ing found me undecided.
When I toot my place at my desk, I
was still undecided. And I had reached
no decision when, in answer to that gen
tle knock, for which I had waited as I
believe no editor ever waited for would
be contribtor's knock before, I again
called "Come." 1 She came in, and sink
ing into the visitor's chair, raised her
eyes in mute inquiry to my face. I
searched my brain for some harmless
falsehood with which to soften the blow,
but those eyes compelled the truth. "I
have carefully read your story," I said,
"and am sorry to say it would not suit
our paper."
The little hands went up to the face;
the veil dropped over them. I heard a
stifled sob and my heart began to ache.
"But there is no reason, Miss Silver,"
I continued, with assumed cheerfulness,
"that with a few alterations, it should
not suit some other. If you will leave
leave it with me, I will take it home to
night, revise it, and you can try again."
The veil was tossed aside, and down
came the hands. ''Oh, I am so ridicu
lously afraid of strangers and strange
places!" she said, a wan little smile shin
ing through her tears. "I should never
have dazed to come here had I not heard
that yon were one of the kindest of men.
Is there nothing you can give me to do,
Mr. Gray ? I can read the most illegible
of writing readily a talent I inherit
from my dear father and I can copy
rapidly and plainly.
Now I had nothing on hand which was
absolutely necessary that I should have
copied, but a vision of the poor child
toiling up dark stairs into cheerless of
fices, cold and frightened with that, in
its present form, unsaleable story, rose
before me, and I determined to make
work for her until I could find some easy
and permanent employment elsewhere.
So I said, quickly, as though it were the
very assistance of all others of which I
stood in need.
"If you are willing to accept work of
that kind, I can employ you two or three
hours a day for a month or two, and you
may begin at once.'
Her eyes sparkled the thanks she did
not speak. I bade her lay aside her hat
and shawl, Beat herself at the chief's
desk, and prepare to copy the Chinese
like characters of the famous author
over which I had been puzzling the day
before.
'She obeyed me with the simplicity of
a child, and soon was bending over her
task, a flush of pleasure on her cheeks,
transcribing quickly and faithfully.
As for me, the sight of that tiny hand
traveling over the paper with wonderful
grace and ease, and the clear-cut profile
drooping above it, caused some ludi
crous mistakes in the article I Was writ
ing, about which mistakes I received no
less than seventeen communications
during the week following its publica
tion. The two or three hours passed away.
She showed me what she had accom
plished, with pride, accepted payment for
it with a blush, donned the summer shawl
and hat, and tripped away, promising to
come again on the morrow. The mor
row found her punctually at her post,
and so did many morrows, and at last
the MS. was almost copied, and I had
been unable to find any other employ
ment for my faithful little amanuensis.
Meanwhile the child had told me her
sad story. Her mother died at her
birth. She had never had any home,
bnt had always lived in boarding-houses
with her. father, a school-teacher, who,
dying a year ago, left her to the mercy
of an only relative, a wealthy aunt.
That auntheaven forgive her ! re
fused to receive her, saying she had
" children of her own to look after, and
she saw no reason why the girl should
not follow her father's profession."
"I tried to," said Winona, "but the
children would not mind me. Minnie
Minceitt minds me because she loves
me. I board with Mrs. Minciett, and
teach Minnie in part payment for my
board. Mrs. Minciett is not unkind to
me; but she is not as kind as she was
before papa died. And papa used to
say I wrote excellent compositions, and
so I thought, perhaps, I could write
stories for the papers. And I was in
duced to come to you first by hearing a
gentleman, a writer, praise yon very
highly one day. 'He is one of the
kindest-hearted fellows in America,' he
said. But, for all that, I came to your
door three days in succession before I
could get courage enough to knock.
And when I did knock oh the fourth
day, you called ' Come ' in such an aw
fully cross voice that I came near run
ning away again. And on one of these
three days, when I was standing out
side, you were laughing and talking
with a handsome young lady. I heaid
you, and saw her. She had the loveli
est ostrich feather in her hat."
"And what has become of the story,
Winona?" asked I. She had rebelled
against "Miss Silver," or even "Miss
Winona," at an early period of our ac
quaintance, on account of my being so
much older than she. I was eight-and-twenty,
and she ten years younger.
"My story" with a musical laugh
"which you altered until it was almost
your own story? I sent it to the Weekly
Romance Portfolio, and they accepted it;
and well they might, for thanks to you it
was very good indeed. And they sent
me a check for it a very short check for
such a long Btory and there it is,"
pointing to a cloak jacket that hung be
sides my overcoat. "And now that you
have mentioned the story," she contin
ued, all her old shyness coming back
again, "I should like to show you but I
am afraid "
"Nonsense, Winona, you are not afraid.
What is it?"
"A poem of mine, if it deserves that
title;" and she pushed a patter across the
desk to me.
I unfolded it, and a really pretty little
poem, wnicn. However, in spite of its
prettiness, I found as unsuitable for our
paper as the story had been. After read
ing it. X sat apparently buried in thought
conscious that Winona was stealing a,
glance at me every now and then from
under her long lashes, but in reality
puzzling my brain, as I had a hundred
times before, as to what was to become
of the poor, pretty, frank, innocent girl,
left alone to battle with the world.
"By Jove!" I exclaimed aloud, "It's
too bad "
"Is it so very bad?" she asked in fal
tering tones.
"I wasn't referring to yonr verses,
Winona. They are very good indeed,
my I should say Winona."
"And you will accept them?"
I parried the question with another.
In a flash my h6art had been revealed to
me. " ' ,. "
"Winona, will you write a valentine for
me? I never could do anything in the
way of rhymes myself."
"I shall be glad to do so," her voice
trembling a little. "Isit1 to be the os
trich feather? I mean to the handsome
young lady with the ostrich feather?"
"Perhaps. Take a sheet of paper and
set down in prose what you are to turn
into poetry. Tell her that the flitst time
I saw her my heart owned her for its
queen; that since that bright and happy
day she has never been absent from my
thoughts; that I love her with sinoerest
love, and long to hear her say that she
loves me."
The little maiden grew paler and paler
as she wrote, and when she had finished,
I saw the hands go half way to the sad
dened face, bnt fall again in obedienoe
to a will command.
"I will write it to-night, and bring it
early to morrow," she said, "for to mor
row is St. Valentine's day.
And although I reached the office ear
lier than usual next morning, Winona
was there before me, looking, poor child,
as though she had passed a weary, sleep
leas night.
"I have brought the verses," she said,
"and I hope yen will like them."
"I am sure I shall," I replied. "Read
them to me Winona."
" 'When first by me Heaven bless the hour!
That face of beauty r-tre was teen.
Tbat voice was beard.my siamb'ring heart
Straightway awoke and owned its queen,
" 'And never can It sleep again.
But filled with Love's supreme delight,
The lovely Image entertain
In thoughts by day. In dreams by night.
" 'Bnt with thy lage can 1 not
Forever dear, contented be.
And so I pray St Valentine
To give th j charming self to me..
" And I hope you'll be very happy,"
said Winona, choking a rising sob.
"But perhaps she won't have me,"
said I.
"Won't have you ?" repeated Winona,
as though such a thing were impossible.
" She might not. But I shall soon
know my fate. Here is an envelope. Please
direct it."
Winona waited with uplifted pen.
" Miss Winona Silver!"
"Miss Winona Silver you have written
a valentine to yourself."
"And you mean it?"
"I mean every word of it. If you
doubt me add 'P. S.' in plainest prose.
"Will you be my wife?"
"I am the happiest girl in the whole
wide world," said Winona, "and I'll
never write another story the longest day
I live."
I took her little hand in mine. "You
never shall, my, darling," I said, when
the office door flew open, and in stalked
the Jchief. "Mr. Penton Miss Silver,
my intended wife," I hastened, with
much discomforture, it must be con
fessed. "And now, Winona," I added,
"run away home and never come here
again. I must not be disturbed during
business hours."
"I am glad to see that you have so
strict a sense of fitness of things," said
Mr. Penton, with a grim smile, which
led me to believe that Mr. Warren, our
scientific editor, whose desk was at
the extreme end of the long room, had
not been as deeply absorbed in his work
at times as I had thought him to be.
Harper's.
It's TTnat Ton Spend.
"It's what thee'll spend, my son," said
a sage old Quaker, "not what thee'll
make, which'will decide whether thee's
to be rich or not." The advice-was trite,
for it was Franklin's in another shape
"Take care of the pence, and the pounds
will take care of themselves." But it
cannot be toe often repeated . Men are
continually indulging in small expenses,
saying to themselves that it is only a
trifle, yet forgetting that the aggregate
is serious, that even the seashore is made
up of petty grains of sand. Ten cents a
day is $36 50 a year, and tbat is the in
terest of a capital of $600. The man
that saves ten cents a day only, is so
much richer than he who does not, as if
be owned a life estate in a house worth
$600; and if invested quarterly does not
take half that time. But ten cents a day
is child's play, some will exclaim. Well,
then, John Jacob Astor used to say that
when a man who wishes to be rich has
saved $10,000 he has won half the bat
tle. Not that Astor thought $10,000
much, but he knew that in making such
a sum a man acquired habits of prudent
economy, which would keep him ad
vancing in wealth. How many, how
ever, spend $10,000 in a few years in ex
tra expenses, end then, on looking back,
cannot tell, as they say, "where the
money went to." To save is to get rich.
To squander, even in small sums, is the
first step towards the poor-house.
Lemons.
To be "twelve miles from a lemon,"
may be as much of a misfortune, after
all, as Gail Hamilton, represented it.
One of our exchanges publishes the fol
lowing list of "uses" which would make
the fruit almost a panacea and a cos
metic besides.
The lemon is a native of Asia, al
though it is cultivated in Italy, Port
ugal and the south of France. 'In
Europe, however, it seldom exceeds tter
dimensions of the smallest tree, while in
its native State it grows ninety feet in
height.
Every part of this tree is valuable in
medicine, though we rarely employ any
of it but its fruit, and that -is the lemon
itself; and every one knows how to em
ploy this, as in lemonade: Squeeze the
juice in cold water, that is the shortest
way, or to cut it in slices and boil it;
either way is good. Lemonade is one of
the best and safest drixks for any per-'
son, whether in health or not. It .is
suitable to all stomach diseases, is excel
lent in sickness, in cases of jaundice,
gravel, liver complaint and fevers. It is
a specific against worms and skin com
plaints. Lemon juice is the best anti-scorbutic
remedy known. It not only cures the
disease, but prevents it. It also pre
vents chilblains. Lemon is used in in
termittent fevers, mixed with hot black
tea or coffee, without sugar.
