Annv 'ids'o doled her praise day and j

"There old man," he often said.
"dry up your siss ; you make me sick"
iceoiojeirung theso words with a

tin's baek, which, if tho ol 1 man hid
been a Frenchman, would have made
him bestow a kins on young Martin's

the old man tired, he said, -Mjo home

Old Martin's 'Vllo, ho," and "IIa,h.a,"

conduct of this foolish old pair, so
devoutly believing in young Martin's

''Father, i've'a mind to cut into a

The girl ho adored, but of whom he
had no hope, Matilda North wooif,
the tallest girl in Taektown, with a
brilliant complexion, an aquiline cose
bright, dark eyes, a elwar voice, and
a gav laugh; a violent contrast to him
every way. She was the daughter of
a rich farmer, who lived on Taektown
Neck, three miles from the village, so
seeludod a place that when Mati'da
came up to the Shore, as tho village
was called, sho felt a metropolitan ex
citement; there was a zest in church
going and ringing-school; and astray
lecture or a dance, was just absolute
satisfaction. Young Martin bad always
known her, or thought so, till she buret
in upon all his awakened senses one
night at the' singing-gchoo"', but he
had never addressed a word to her.
She knew him quite as well, and had
never bestowed a thought upon "him

he but know, she was now laughing

young Martiu'ij expense. The houso
stood in the angle of two streets; there
was a yard in front, with a picket,
fence round it. The side street was a
dark, crooked road, with houses scatter
ed along it, and ending in a broad field
which h?d that very afternoon been
the scene of the performance of a trar
eijng circus, attended by Matilda.
The "wagons were now loading, an.l
from time to time one of them thunder
ed by, and turning the sharp corner
by old Martin's hous?, passed through
the irain street fronting tie harbor,
and to out of the village. There had
been some fighting among the men,
;:nd much savage swearing over the
J heavy loading of the wagons, till the
pmprieter, who happenecTto be partial-
ly intoxicated, lost patience, lie
struck with his whip at one of tie
drivers, who instantly jumped into hi
his seat and, swearing ' Ue wou'ti tdke
no more on, lasted his horses into a
! gallop along the road, ne propn
cter sprang into his buggy, and dashed
after him, with the intention of stop
pit g his wagrn. Martin heard the
nt.ise, opet ed his winciow. and ran
down stairs As short as the dis -
; tar.ee wns bitw?nthe joor and the
gate tf the 1 i tie yard, he never ftroj
the scene. The harbor below the
' .-tn-ct lay v h:te in moonlight its silver
I sheet unrufiled by a sing'e breeze. A
.wagon lurched round tho comer, ami
tolled a'. he beard a scream, and
saw a figure flying over the fence.
safe inside, Edgar Willis, then ho
-aw a buggy swaying toward hiai, and
towards Mafilda; he cried out iu

most threw her over the fence towards
Kdgar. Then he picked up the pro-
j)ricter, who was thrown out, bqt uot

to the door in perturbation, and beg-
; ged every body to come right in, white
old Martin, hardly, awake to the sta'e
j of things, murmured tb-t fie giessed
New loudon would have something to
ansTer'lor artr this. Edgar Willi 3
declined, muttering something
about attending to the propri
etor, and glr.d to be intimate with a
celebrated man, offered him his ser
vices. Matilda wondering whether
young Martin had observed his cow
ardice, could not help altering pro
verb for his benefir- " I "'have
heard, she said, " about people
laughing on the r wrong side
of their mouth but now I am going
ro laugh ou tho rigtt side of the

I thought the wagon fallow did not see

ward him.
"You see, my son strikes when tho

Young Martin put his hand
on his father's shoulder : the' gesture
was enough, old Martin was muui
