Daddy’sGrandchild

(From Toronto Saturday Night.)

In the outer and only suburb of Wegg- ville is a waste lot noted for its productive- ness in ferns and bramble vines, and on which there yet stands a fine specimen of the early architecture of this country in the shape of a mansion twelve feet by twelve id area, built of unbarked logs and of the height of six linear feet to the slabs that férm its roof. A nail-keg suffices for chim- |ney. A single window frame that once held four panes of 5x7 glass, but of which two are now stopped with garments, gives | character to the front. The north end

having considerably subsided relieves the | obtline from that ‘rectangular monotony that is so detrimental to art. The color of i whole edifice is a muddy brown, pleas-

img to the educated eye. Oa one occasion

@ eminent artist, struck with the peaceful and rustic ** bit,” erected his easel and was

inting assidiously when the occupant rgshed out and drove him away with a broomstick. The artist was from New York, which caused him to exclaim ** ha, ‘pon ’onor, vulgar really ; did lever? No, never.”

The occupant who was thus hostile to landecape art was a fomale person of ad- vanced age, who, from the stubbly beard that adorned her chin, and her habit of wearing a battered stovepipe hat and a man’s jacket—thus allowing latitude of opinion in regard to her sex,—was known as ** Daddy.’

This dubious citizen was a moral blot, a felon on the finger, a carbuncle on the nose: of Weggville. In early years she was drawn, by many of the clergy, as an inference from Original Sin. Later she was frequently drawn home in a hand cart. Her alleged husband had been a burglar of some emin- ence, who was shot, leaving, an only son, not possessing his father’s genius, and never attaining a higher social position than boozer and corner loafer. It is a sorrowful truth that whom the gods love die young, therefore this estimadie person asphyxiated himself by getting at a cask of forty-rod in transit, leaving to Daddy only her liitle grandchild Lily.

As is observable in the economy of nature — sweet flower grows sometimes from an ugly root ; so grew Lily, a sweet flower as became her name. When I first noticed her she was a little dot of a thing with blue eyes and a tinkling laugh like a sleigh bell. She shot up rapidly, as these roly-poly children do, into aslim slipofa girl useful for running of errands and holding babies when their mothers went aroud to the atore to buy needles and corn-starch. When not so employed she had a way of Wander- ing into the woods and making the ac- quaintance of squirrels, You seldom saw her that the did not have a florol wreath in

fect passion for flowers. favorite.

a bonnet in her life, strangers would pat her beautiful fair hair and say + kindly word and give her cents. This last was an in- discreet form of sympathy, for Daddy stole the money and converted it into whiskey. More than one goud neighber would have adopted her, but her weird relative held on to her as a source of revenue.

She was about ten years of age when the kind old doctor mentioned to seme of us that the little girl Lily was not long for this world. Then the true-hearted sympathy for which Weggville is noted ‘flowed out. Young ladies, in gangs of three and fours to protect themselves by numbers from the fearsome presence of Daddy, were wont to visit and care for the fading lily. Every- body was kind to her. Even the meek pastor of the Eclectics, with $300 a year of stipend, and who had cure of sunls—al- though | never heard that he cured any— paid a dollar for a bottle of port wine for her, which Daddy drank. At Sunday school the girl had many little friends. When passing, these would frequently fiat- ten their noses againet one of the two panes that remained in the window, and call : ‘How are you, Lily dear?’ and woald then run away scared when they saw Daddy rising up inside like an exhalation.

Lily faded rapidly. Her illness was short and painless. Her last words were : **| would like to be buried, please, where flowers grow.”

As soonas her grandchild was dead, Daddy went around with a subscription list, but nobody gave her anything.

The little girl’s friends proceeded to give her Christian burial. The Methodiea and Emmanuelites and those of the Presbyter had no flowers in their God's acre. Neither had the disciples of John Baptist any sweet buds for Apollis to water. Their idea of a last resting place seemed to be to make it as horrid as possible. Two sister churches did have pretty flower plots among their graves, each communion with a gardener in a blue apron and a wheelbarrow, and to them her friends went, beseeching for four feet and a half by two to bury Lily in. The genial flamen of the Universal In- dubitable rolled hie eyes and lips with kind unction and signified that as she had not received the last anoint- ment they might dig a hole outside his fence and drop her iu and he would waive all sectarian objection. The gentlemanlyjand ascetic Anglican regretted that the canons of his church forbade him to let her lie alongside of the deceased devout who not believed in the thirty-nine articles.

At the end of Tumpkins meadow there was a little clump of wild cherry and mountain ash and young maple and juniper, swarded beneath the trees and speckled with dog- violets and blue hyacinths and white five. starred pigeon flowers that turn into red berries. The birds came there in summer and sang carols. When the wind blew high the branches sighed, and when it blew low the leafage made a murmurasof a hymn. It was a little garden with no gardener and no wheelbarrow. That's where they laid her.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Ch’town, April 27, 1891. Sir,—Will you kindly insert the follow- ing in your excellent paper, and oblige A SvcsscriBer. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

When people shall speak in an honest and in a kind spirit, they will understand one another. But for that object it is ab- solutely necessary that discussion and con- troversy should be completely unfettered. You cannot have a good fight or a fair fight if you tie the hands of the two com- batants, and still less if you tie the hands of one combatant only. What we want are “reverent men, true thinkers, sincere lov- ers, and iuquirers aftertruth.” Reverence alone will not be sufficient, but should be joined with true thinking. True thinking means free thinking—thinking following its own laws, and unswayed by anything else. But even this will not suffice. There ought to be not only loyal submission to the laws of thought; there ought to be sin- cere love, a deep-felt yearning, for truth. And, lastly, that love should not manifest itself in impatient and fanatical outbursts, but in earnest inquiry, in patient study, in long-continued research. Men who have passed through these four stages are not likely to give offence to others or to be easily offended themselves,

I am sorry to have to confess it, but among the many lessons which a comparative study of religions teaches us, there is one that seems very humiliating, namely, that religious intolerance is much more commor in modern than in ancient times. I know the excuse which is made for this, It is said that, as our convictions become deeper and stronger, our intolerance of falsehood also must assume a more inteuse character, and that we should show an utter want of earnestness if it should be otherwise. There may be some truth in this, butit isa dangerous truth. It is the same truth which led the Inquisition to order the burning of heretics because it was bet ter for their souls, and which inflicted in our own times a less violent, though perhaps not less painful, wartyrdom on such reverent men, true thinkers, sincere lovers, and earnest in- orate after truth as Dean Stanley, Bishop

Jolenso, and Charles Kingsley.—Max Muller in the March Forum
