The Silver Tankard.
On a slope of land opening itself to the
south, in a now thickly settled town in the
State of Maine, some hundred and more years
ago, stood a farm house to which the epithet
"co.nfortable" might bo applied. The old
forest same down to tho back of it; in front
were cultivated fields; beyond which was
ground partially cleared, full of pine stumps,
and here tnd there, standing erect, tho giant
trunks of trees, which the fire had scorched
and blackened, though it had failed to over
throw them.
The house stood at the very verge of the
settlement, so that from it no other cottage
could bo seen; the nearest neighbor was dis
tant about six miles. Daniel Gordon, the
onner and occupant of tho premises we have
described, had chosen this valley in tlio wil
derness, a wide, rich tract of laud, not only as
his own home, but, prospectively, as the home
of hit children and his children's children. He
was willing to bo far ofl from men, that his
children might havo loom to settle around
him. Ho was looked upon as the rich man of
that district, well known in that part of the
country. His house was completely finished,
and was largo for tho times, having two
stories in front and one behind, with a long,
sloping roof; it seemed as if it lianed to the
south, to oiler its back to the cold winds torn
the northern mountains.
I was full of tlio comforts of life tho fur
niture a little Bhowy for a I'uritan; and w lieu
the table was set thcio was, to iuo a Yankee
phrase, "considerable" silver plate, among
which a large silver tankanl stood pie emi
nent. This silver had been the property of Ill's
father, and had bien biought over from the
mother country.
Now wo will go bick to tiiis pleasant valley
us it was on a bright mid beautiful morning in
the mouth of Juno. It win Sunday; and
though early, the tuo sous ol Duiiiol Gordon
and the hired man had gone to meeting on
foot to tho L Hiding, a little village on the
banks of tho river, ten miles distant. Daniel
himself was standing at the door, with tho
horse and chaise, ready ud waiting for his
good wife, who had been somewhat detained
He was standing at the doorstep enjoying the
freshness of tho morning, with a little pride in
his heart, pcrhtps, as he vast Ins cyo over the
extent of his possessions spiead before him.
At that instant a neighbor, of six miles' dis
tance, rode up on horseback, and beckoned to
him from tho gate of tho enclosure around tho
houso.
"Good morning, neighbor Gordon, " said he.
"I havo come out of my way in going to
meeting to tell you that Tom Smith that
daring thief with two others, have been seen
prowling about in these paits, and that you
hail hotter look out lest you havo a visit I
have got nothing in my house to bring them
there, but thoy may bo after your silver tank
ard, neighbor, and tho silver spoons. I have
often told you that those things wero not lit
for those now parts. Tom is a bold fellow, but
I suppose tho tower ho meets when ho goes to
steal tho bott.'r. I don't think it safe for jou
all to bo oil' to meeting to-day; but I am in a
hurry, neighbor, so good bye."
This communication placed our friend D in
iel in an unpleasant dilemma. It had he in
settled that no olio was to bo left at homo but
his daughter Mehitable, a beautiful little girl
nliout nine years old. Khali I stay or go? was
the question, Daniel was a I'uiitan; he had
strict notions of tho duty of worshipping Gnd
in His templo, and ho had faith that God
would bless him only as he djd his duty; but
then ho was a father, and littto Hitty wus the
light and y of his eyes.
lint these l'uritaus were stern and uiitlinch
ing. 1 will not oven tako Hitty with mo, for
'twill make her cowardly. The thiuvis may
not come; neighbor l'erkius miy bo mistaken;
and if thoy do come to my houso thoy w ill not
hurt that child. At any tate, she is in God's
hands; mid wo will go to worship Him, who
never foisakes those who put their trust in
Him. As ho Bottled this, tho little girl and her
mother stopped to tho chaise; tho father b.ij
ing to tho child, "if any strangers come,
Hitty, ttent them w ell, VVe o in spaio of our
abundance U tlso. poor. What is silur and
gold, when we think of God's Holy Word !"
With, those voids on his lips ha drove oil- a
troubled man, in spito of his religious tuist,
btc.iti;e he left his daughter in thu wilderness
alone,
I-ittlu Hitty, as tho daughter of a l'tuitan,
was strictly biought up to obacivo tho l,oid's
day. She" knew that she ought to return to
the liuiho, but imtute, for this once, at leant,
got the letter of her turning. "Nohaim,"
Uotight she, "to eo tho brood of chickens."
Nor did she, when she had jcm them some
water, g i into the house; but loitered and liu.
gvreJ, hearing the lobin sing, and following
with her oyo tho boh'lineolu, us ho flitted
from shrub to shrub. She pjsscd almost an
hour out uf tho houso, hecauoo she did not
wish to be alone, and she did not feel alone
when sho was out among the buds, and was
gitthciiiig here ami there a little wild llimcr.
Hut at last she went ill, took her ltihle, and
seated herself at tho window, sometimes
reading and sometimes looking out,
As she was there seated, sho saw thne nun
yoniing up tow aid the house, and she was
right glad to sto them; for she felt lonely, ami
there was a dreary, long day before her.
"Father,'' thought the, "meant something,
when ho told me to bo kind to atraugrr. 1
suppose he expected them. 1 woi.iUr what
keeps them all from meeting. Never mind;
thry shall see that I can do something if 1 am
little Hitty." So putting down tVo llible, she
ran to meet them, happy, confiding, aud eun
glad that they had cuiun; and, without wait
ing for them to i peal, she called to them to
ome in with her and said, ''1 am all alone; if
mother was here shit would do n.oro for )ou,
but I will do all I eu;" and all this with
frank, loving heart, glad to do good to others,
and glad to please her father, whose last words
were to spare of their abundanco to tho weary
traveler.
Smith and his two companions entered.
Now it wa neither breakfast time nor dinner
time, but about half way between both; yet
little Hitty's head was full of the direction,
"Spare of our abundance," and almost before
they were fairly in the house, she asked if she
would give them something to eat. Smith re
plied: "Yes, I will thank you, my child, for
wo are all hungry." This was, indeed, a civil
speech for the thief, half-starved, had been
lurking in tho woods to watch his chance to
steal the silver tankard as soon as 'ho folks
had gone to meeting. "Shall I givo you cold
victuals, or will jou wait till I can cook some
meat!" "We can't wait," was the reply,
"give us what you have ready as soon as jou
can." "I am glad you do not want mo to cook
for you but I would do it if you did be
cause fathe'r would rather not have much
cooking on Sundays." Then away she tripped
about, making preparjtions-for their repast.
Smith helped her out with the table. She
spread upon it a clean white cloth, and placed
upon it tho silver spoons and tho Bilvqr tank
ard full of "old orchard," as was the custom
in those days, with a largo quantity of wheattn
bread and a dish of cold meat. I don't know
why the silver spoons were put on perhaps
little Hitty thought they made tho table
look prettier. After all this was done, the
turned to Smith, and, with a courtesy, told
him that dinner- was ready. Tlio child had
been so busy in arranging her table, and so
thoughtful of housewifery, that she took little
or no notice of tho appearance or manners of
hei guests. She did tho wcilt as cheerily and
as freely, and was as unembarrassed, as if she
had been suirounded by her father and mother
and brothers. One of the thieves sat down
doggedly, with his hands on his knives, nnd
his face almost to his hands, looking all tho
time on ho floor. Another a younger and
better looking man, stood confounded ami ir
resolute, as if ho had not been well broken in
to his tiado; and often would go back to tl.o
window and look out, keeping his back to tho
child. Smith, on the other h ind, looked un
concerned, as if ho had quito forgotten his
purpose. He never onco took his attention olT
the child, following her with his cyo as sho
bustled about in airanging the dinner table;
and theto was e en a half smile on his face.
Thoy all moved to the table, Smith's chair at
tho head, one ot his companions on each side,
and the child at the foot, standing there to
help her guests, and to bo ready to go for fur
ther supplies as thcro was need.
Tho men ato as hungry men, almost in si
lenco, drinking occasionally from the silver
tankard. When they had done, Smith started
up suddenly and said, "Comet let's go."
"What!" exclaimed tho old robber, "go with
empty hands when this silver is hero ?" He
seized tho tankard. "Put that down," shouted
tymith; "I'll shoot the man who takes a single
thing from 'this house." Poor Hitty at once
awoke to a souso of the character of lur
guests; with terror in her face, yet with a
ehildliko fiankuoss, she lan to Smith, took
hold of his hand, and looked into his face, as
if sho felt sure that ho would take caro of her
The old thief, looking up to his young com
panion, and finding that he was icady to give
up tho job, and seeing that Smith was lo
solute, put down the tankard, growling like a
itogwhohashadaboiio taken from him. "Fool!
catch mo in your company again; ami with
such expressions loft tho house followed by
tho other. Smith put his hand on the head of
tho child aud said, "Don't bo afraid; stay
quid in the house; nobody shall hurt you."
Thus elided tho visit of ilio thieves.
Thus God picsorved the property of those
who had put their trust in him. What a story
had tho child to toll when the family came
11011101 How heaity was tho tliaiikgiiiig
that went up from tho family altar !
A year or two altor this, poor Tom Smith
was arrested for tho commission of sonio
cjiino, and was tried and sentenced to bo oxo
euted, Daniel Gordon luard of this, ami that
he was confined in a jail in tho' seaport town,
to wait for tho dreadful day, when he was to
bo hung up like a doc between heaven and
earth. Gordon could not keep away from him,
Ho felt drawn to him for the protection of his
daughter, and went down to see him. When
ho enteied tho dungeon, Smith was seated;
his face was pale, his hair was tangled and
matted togt ther for w hy should ho caro' foi
his looks! Tlieio was no other expression in
his countenance than that of irritation fiom
being intruded upon, when he wanted to hear
nothing, too nothing moro of his fellow man.
He did not rise, nor oven look up, nor return
tho salutation of Gordon, vha continued to
stand before him. At last, as if wearied be
yond endeavor, ho asked, "What do jou
want of me? Can't you let mo alone een
hero?" ,
"I conir," said Goidou, "to see you, be
cause my daughter told .no all jou did for her
when you "
As if touched to the heart, Smith's whole
ap)H'aranco changed; an epiession of deep in
terest came oer his featuiea; ho was alto
gether a changed man. Tho sullen iuditurcnee
passed away in an instant. "Ato you tho
father of that little girl! Oh, what a dear
child sho is! Is she well and happy? Howl
love to think of hei! '1 hat's one pleasant
thing I havo to Uiiuk of. Tor onco 1 was
treated like other nieu. Could 1 kiss her once
I think I should bo happier." l.i this hurried
manner he poured out an intensity of feeling
little supposed to lie in the bosim of a con
demned felon,
Gordon remained with Smith, whispered to
him of peace beyond the grave for the pen
itent, smoothed in some douree his passage
through the dark a'lej-, and did not return
to his family until Christian lo e could do no
moro for an erring brother, on w horn scarcely
before had the ejo of love rested; whoso hand
had Ix-en against all iner, because their hind
had been against him,

hut it is before you substantially as it was re
lated to me. The main incidents are true;
though, doubtless, as the story has been
banned down from generation to generation,
it has been colored by the imagination. The
silver tankard, as an heirloom, has descended
in the family the property of the daughter
named Mehitable, and is now in the possession
of a clergyman's wife in Massachusetts.
Influence of Foreiti on Water Courses.
The following paper was read at a recent
sees on of the American Scientific Association
in Cincinnati, by Mr. David D. Thompson, of
that city:
The rapid destruction of our forest has at
last begun to, attract public attention, snd the
efforts of those who are endeavoring to aw aken
interest in tho preservation of the standing
trees, and to promote their cultivation where
none exist, are bearing fruit, especially in the
prairie States of the West and Northwest.
The arguments used are usually such as may
be embraced in the question: What shall we
do for fuel, for fences, for ships, for building
material, for railroad ties, and for the innu
merable industries of which wood forms a
part, when our forests have entirely diiap
pcarcd! For all these purposes it is probable
some substitute may be found. But there are
other uses for our forest trees, and for which
nothing else can take their place. Important,
p .ssibly most important, among these is the in
fluence of forests, and the elleet of their re
mot a' upon water courses, such as lake?,
rivcrr, creeks and brooks, and also upon
springs and wells.
Trees during a- rain storm retain a vast
quantity of nates. Fantrat found that the
soil covered with forests leceivtdsdx-tenths of
tlio whole rainfall, tho trees having inter
cepted four-tenths. The proportion however,
w ill varj, depending largely upon tho charac
ter ot the foliago and tho nearness of the
trees to each other.
Besides what is retained by the brunches
and leaves, the roots, by keeping the soil
around them loosened, induce the speedy ab
sorption of tho larger part of tho rain which
reaches tho irround, aud much of which, but
for tlio trees, and their elleet upon the soil,
would immediately flow away. Tho foliage of
the trees, by paltry or wholly excluding the
sun's rays, picvents in a large degree the eva
poration of tho water in the soil, which in a
treeless region soon renders the ground as
destitute of moisture us though no rain had
fallen.
By the absorption of the rain as it falls, the
Hooding of tho streams is largely prevented;
and by retaining the water in this natural
reservoir and allowing it to flow off gradually,
the streams are supplied with water continu
ously. It can safely be said that no stream
having its source near a tract of forest has
over ceased to flow,
in the early history of the Eastern and
Middle States, n farm was regarded as lacking
in an essential feature if there was no spiing
upon it, and the farmer's wife would as much
expect to do without milk pans as to do with
out a spring house. But now a spiing house
is a mro tight. When tho pioneers settled
these lands thoy weie covered with forests,
and Um first mill most-important work of the
new settler was to cut away the timber, in
order to gettland upon which to raise food for
himself and lainily. rcr many years there
was, of course, no apparent elleet upon the
water courses; but as the number of settlers
uicrtased, and the amount of forest laud do
creased, the springs began to dry up, and
with them tho brooks, creeks ami smaller
liveis.
It is not unusual to find in ninny localities
tho beds of what were once iuipoitaut mill
sticams waterless, except when tilled by sud
den freshets; and in this State certain streams
emptying into the lake, which vro onco de
clared navigable, will not now ilo it a canoe.
Previous to 1832, a Captain Delorc.ce, of
Hamilton, Ohio, annually sent a fleet of flat
boats down the Big Miami river at the Spiing
rito; but with tho destruction of tho foiests
along that river, tho rise became so uncertain
that tho enterprise was of necessity aban
doned. Prof Nowbeny, in his Geology of
Ohio, states that the Ohio river has been get
ting lower and lower in dry seasons for many
years. About 1S7 1 tho Ohio sank lower
than hud over been known before, and at
Smith's Ferrj-, where tho Pcnusylvaiiiu line
crosses, a ledge of rocks was hid tare that
had not been seen or heaid of by any people
living in that vicinity.
I.npham says that "such have been the
changes in tho flow of tho Milwaukee iiei,
even while tho area fiom which it receives its
supply is b..t partially cleared, that tho pro
prietors of most of the mil's hnd factories
lu o found it necessary to resort to the use of
steam, at a largelj- increased ycurlj- cost, to
supply the deficiency cf water power in dry
seasons of the year. Tho floods of Spring ire
increased until thoy are sufficient to carry
awaj- biides and damp, lieforo deemed secure
against their ravages. What has happened to
the Milwaukee river, has happened to all
. ther water courses iu the States from whose
banks the forests havo been removed, and
many farmers who hive selected land up.ui
which theio was a livii-g brook of clear, pure
water, now find that the brooks ilrj- up during
a oousHlcralile portion of the year.
