THE SAD LITTLE SINGER.

The students thronged the schoolroom A crewd of merry girls;

Bright heads bent o’er the lesson, Lovely with braids and curls.

The master stood on the platform, And like a wizard he spoke,

And at once the sweet young voices Into wonderful singing broke.

With infinite labor and patience _ He taught them, and explained Che deep and difficult lesson

Till not a doubt remained.

Again rang the fresh, clear voices, And youth and beauty and grace, Anxious for his approval, Looked up in the master’s face.

But one among the maidens, Desponding, drooped aside, The gifts of her happy comrades

To her seemed all denied.

Poor and plain and timid, Doubtful, perplexed and sad,

She envied her fortunate schoolmates, Who sang so loud and glad.

But the searching eye of the mastee Found her, and calm and mild, Ile questioned and encouraged, And cheered the despairing child ;

And his golden moments gave her When other tasks were done,

Till she could take her place at last, And sing with the proudest one.

And the student worshipped her teacher: Hardly her heart could hold

The reverence and the gratitude That never could be told.

And as Christmas time drew nearer, Her busy fingers strove

Out of her poverty to work Some token of her love.

And so she wrought with patience, A humble gift and small;

Oh, poor and mean it was, se knew; Poor, but it was her all.

Again the lesson was finished, The singing so sweet and joud,

And the grand, still face of the master Looked down on the radient crowd,

And he beld in his hand the token Ofthe student, poor and plain; Astonished the young girl listened, With joy that was almost pain.

For, ‘‘ Better than any treasure,” He said “ of gold or pearl,

Or crown of king or kaiser, Was the gift of this little girl! ”’

Could she believe her senses ? He surely was standing there,

The light full on his quiet face, And beautiful silver hair.

She knew she was not dreaming, Her wide eyes shone so bright, It seemed as if Heaven’s gladness

Had opened upon her sight.

And the glory of that moment No future can destroy ;

She found her way for once, poor child, To the topmost heights of joy.

A STORY OF LANCASHIRE YORKSHIRE,

AND

CHAPTER II.

When Isaac Ogden told the history of his

backslidings to the doctor, he omitted toj tell the cause which first made him pass

the bounds of what in Shayton was called

moderation. te had always liked his

glass and drank of all the intoxicating com~

pounds known to the inhabitants of the

place, but this in a young man living in

Shayton was held to be as natural and right

as for horses and cows to go to the water

trough; so that mothers who had lost their

sons and widows who had lost their hus-

bands, by the universal enemy, delirium

tremens, would nevertheless have felt the

utmost difficulty in tolerating anything ap»

proaching teetotalism under their roofs,

and would terminate the most touching

lamentations for the dead and the sagest

reflections on the fearful consequences of excess by inviting the hearers in the most

impressive manner ‘to mix himself another

glass of brandy and water,’ or whatever he

had been drinking. In case of refusal, the

hospitable moralist would put on an inde-

scribably dolorous expression cf countens

ance, and say, ‘eh, well, willn’t ye now;

it'll do ye no ’arm.’ For there was always

a theory in Shayton that alcohol adminis-

tered in private honses, and by way of hos~

pitality, was perfectly innocuous; the truly

poisonous and destructive alcohol being

that retailed at the Red Lion, the White

Heart, and other sinii/ar places of enter-

tainment.

There was also another theory firmly held

by all the womankind in Shayton, that so

long as a man ate heartily of their puddings

and pies and sweet stuff generally, he dwelt

in safety. This may partly have arisen

from self-love, for we are always indulgent

to those who appreciate the products of our

skill; and since all the above mentioned

sweet stuff in Shayton was fabricated by the

the ladies in their own houses, and a pro

fessional confectioner, if such a being had

ventured to establish himself in the place,

must have died of hunzer after eating up

his own stock in trade, it naturally followed

that such of the male inhabitants as were

willing to consume home-made dainties of

a sugary description,were looked upon witb

fayor and indulgence, and was considered

to give evidence of a hearty and unvitiated

taste. And, indeed, althoifgh the eating

of such pastry did not prove so much in the favor of the palate as the fair piemakers

believed, there can be no doubt but it wa®

clear evidence of a powerful digestion, for that pudding had a weight and solidity in harmony with our national character, There was nothing of French frivolity in it; it re~ minded the eater of British iron and British oak, and the granite of our northern hills.

So long as his wife had lived, Isaac Ogden gave all possible proofs of his mod- eration. He hardly ever entered an ales house, and although he drank freely enough at home, and in the houses of all friends and acquaintances, he was hardly ever intoxicated—he had a splendid ap- petite—he ate heavy breakfasts with quite a natural manner, as if the accomplishment of that surprising feat was nothing to him; and by this means, and a large consump- tion of pastry in the middle of the day, he won the esteem of all who met him at the table. But after his wife’s death, as the evenings were terribly sad for him, he did not know how to pass them alone in the house that for four swift years had been brightened by her dear, sweet presence, he first went to see his friends in their own houses, and then gradually got into the way of meeting a certain set or clique of them at the tavern. The distance that separated his former habit of free drinking

Ch’town, July 27, 1874.—6m

from the habit of positive drunkenness was

not physically and materially a very wide one, though morally it was immeasurable, He had been living for years, like all the most moderate men in Shayton, in a state of alcoholic stimulation, at least from ten a,m, until bedstime; and though this con« dition did not often betray itself to out- ward observance, it was not the less a pre« paration of the whole system for the more advanced stage of recognized intemperance. It is no doubt perfectly true, as millions of living examples prove, that moderate in- dulgence is absolutely innocuous to a sound and healthy constitution ; but Mr. Ogden’s habits at the most temperate periods of his life would scarcely have been thought mod, erate anywhere else but in Shayton, and can only have been considered so there by the effect of an overpowering comparison with the incredible excesses of his neighbors: Vermillion itself may be made not to look so very red by surrounding it with the blinding flames of scarlet; and aman in Shay ton was seldom looked upon as a drink- er until he had been seen to reel down the public street in a state of helpless and speechless inebriety.

Of Isaac Ogden’s affectionate and sincere. ly-lamented wife there is little to be said in his history, She was the daughter of a farmer in a distant part of Yorkshire~a sort of gentleman farmer who had given his girls what was considered to be an educax tion; and, indeed, to do them justice, they were quite as well educated, and had quite as gentle manners, as the daughters of the smaller gentry, This young lady had come to stay at Shayton, on a visit to the parson who had formerly been vicar of her native village, and she had won Isaac Ogden’, heart from the very beginning of their ac-~ quaintance. Though a farmer's daughter, her health was not really robust, and she depended for existence, much more than she or her friends suspected, on the pure air of the open country and the routine of healthy occupation, Transplanted to the smoke-burdened atmosphere of Shayton, and having exchanged the peace of her father’s fields for a house with a wretched little garden surrounded on all sides by roaring cotton mills, poor Alice speedily lost her bloom, and her frail life ended ite self a day or two after the third anniversary of her marriage. She had had two children ; the elder, our friend little Jacob, had been easily reared, and enjoyed perfect health ; but the second, owing probably to the en- feebled constitution of the mother, was a poor weak little thing, and they lost it. Since his wife's death, Mr. Ogden had had very little intercourse with her family, He had gone On one occasion to stay a few days at their house in Yorkshire, but the rumor of his unfortunate habits had preceeded him and was only too fully confirmed by his conduct under his fathersinslaw’s roof. He had his weeks of excess and his weeks of comparative moderation, and the week that he spent at Eatherby was unluckily one of the former. Every day he got up in a state of nervous ill-humour and ungracious~ ness, sO that it was positively disagreeable to sit with him at breakfast; but by dinner time it was still worse, for then he was drunk and dogmatic, laying down the law upon all sorts of rural matters that he did not understand, and keenly wounding the feeling of the whole family by speaking about their poor Alicé in a manner that seemed coldly contemptuous; The truth was that he adored her memory, and would have given his right hand to bear her dear voice again, if only for one hour; but these better feelings were hidden in his own breast; and as’ during the lifetime of his wife he had acquired the deplorable habit of speaking contemptuously of women to his friends, and making no exception in her favour, the habit now revived with him when he was drunk, and he said things which, to people who did not see very much of him, conveyed a most erroneous impress, sion of his sentiments, Like many other people in Shayton, he had a stupid love of banter, not much controlled by delicacy or good taste; and when he left Eatherby it was resolved that all intercourse with him should be at an end.

Another local peculiarity of character is that of cherished feelings of all kinds for a much longer time than any feeling lasts in a metropolis, A coolness, sufficient to chill intercourse between families without put- ing an end to it, has been known to last conscientiously for forty years in Shayton, and to be continued afterwards from habit and tradition ; but in justice to the in. habitants of the place it is right to add that better feelings are equally permanent, and that a stranger who had visited the neigh- bourhood at the age of twenty, and made a favourable impression there as a well-be~ haved and good-looking young man, might, if chance led him to revisit Shayton at sixty, fully count upona kind reception on the strength of his former success. The sym« pathies of the Shayton people were of very limited range, and consequently stronger and more enduring than the scattered in- trests of larges societies; and so also were there hatreds and antipathies. Their tems per was at the same time perfectly faithful

ships lasted for generations—lasted,in short

until violently shattered by some catastrox

phe; but, once broken, neither party ever

made the least advancement towards com~

mencing them afresh, and the degree of

separation established by the accident itself remained permanent. Like two ciiffs once

united, but which, separated by some vio-

lent convulsion of nature, gaze at each

other for ever across a wide chasm without

advancing or receding an inch from their

respective positions, except in so far as the

slow operation of rain and frost may insen~ sibly widen the interval between them—two Shayton households, once divided by a quarrel remained in sight of each other year after year without the slightest ad» vance on either part to a reconciliation,and without any conscious widening of the breach, though time no doubt was wearing it year by year. The breach between the two brothers, Isaac and Jacob Ogden, had been established on that fatal day when Isaac struck Jacob at the mill; and after the dissolution of partnership, each of the brothers cast his eye, as it were across the chasm and measured the breadth of it as a fact henceforth inevitable. Men of another temper might have felt uneasy about the chasm and anxious to fill it up or hide it from their own eyes; but these brothers felt no such uneasiness, and were not in the least anxious to conceal it under false appearances. It was not understood to be necessary that intercourse between them should cease ; and it did not cease, but it took, and kept, a new and peculiar charac

ter, Jacob lived with his mother at Milend,

}and Isaac went there from time to time,

his mother, except on those occasions when Isaac wished to consult his brother about his money matters, when Jacob always lis. tened very attentively, and gave the best advice he could, The most marked change in their intercourse was that they were now scrupulously civil to each other, whereas in the old brotherly days there had been much mutual criticism, often bitterly se- vere, For instance, in those other times, if Isaac had got drunk, Jacob abused him for it withtunrestrained energy; but since their quarrel, Jacob was as reticent on that subject as if he had been educated in habits of delicacy and tact. When they met in the street before the quarrel, Jacob would often say : ~

‘ Now, Isaac, con ta walk reight?

And Isaac, by no means eflended at the allusion to his failing, would answer by an insinuation that Jacob acted the unmanly part of his mother’s darling.

‘Has thy mother given thee a treacle buttercake ?’

All banter of this kind, as well as all frank and earnest remonstrance, was for ever at an end between the brothers; and when they met in the street,even at the very door of the Red Lion; there was no al- lusion to Isaac’s failing, and Jacob was in no danger of being saluted at ‘ Milend pet.’ The brief colloquy was usually as follows :—

‘Well, Jacob, and ‘ow’s mother this mornin’ ?’

‘She's quite well Isaac; and ‘ow’s little Jacob?’

* Very well, thank ye.’

We have seen that Isaac’s occasional visits to Milend were supposed to be in- tended exclusively for his mother, except when he wanted Jacob’s advice on matters affecting his interests ; and therefore Jacob never went to his house at all. He did not even go to see the new building at Twistle Farm, and though he shot over a moor a mile of the place, scrupulously avoided it. An extensive moor in that region had be- longed to the two brothers in common, or at least had been so considered by them ; but after the quarrel a line of separation between the properties, which had before legally existed, ceased to be legal fiction, and was recognized as a frontier. Isaac, of course, when he built Twistle Farm, took care that it should be at some distance from the boundary; and as the brothers shot no longer together, Jacob had never visited his brother's hermitage. Their mother went to wistle occasionally, per- haps once in three months, but had never been induced to sleep there, for she had a firm belief that if she left Milend for one night Jacob would be sure to need her.

As Isaac Ogden had all the character of a native of Shayton, it was of course im-~ possible for him to attempt any closer com. panionship with his brother,or any renewal or intercourse with the family of his wife. He had few relations on his own side, and most of these were poor people, operatives in cotton factories or small farmers in the country. There was no false shame in the Ogdens, and they acknowledged these re- lationships, inviting some of their very poorest kinsfolk annually to Milend, and feeding them substantially with roast beef. But it will be understood, without imputing any foolish pride to Mr. Isaac Ogden, that he found little pleasure in intercourse with these relations. He had,it is true,but little culture of any kind, yet the little he pos- sessed was enough to create a difference between him and these poor people, wide enough to make much intercourse between them irksome to both parties. And bes sides, the mere possession of a certain degree of wealth had already separated the Ogdens of Milend from those ranches of the same family which remained in pov- erty. Various sums of money had been lent and not repaid, or slowly repaid in uns certain and irregular instalments, so that the sense of inequality, already strong in the presence of the substantial comforts of Milend, was still further increased by a feeling of obligation. To do the Ogden’s

justice, it was not in their nature, or in

the customs of Shayton, to treat poor rela- tions unkindly, but it is difficult to main- tain agreeable intercourse with people who have little to talk about but their perpetual struggle for existence, especially when one has an uneasy feeling that these struggles would cease to be necessary if one would only resolve to sign a few annual cheques, In justice to Mr, Isaac particularly, it may be added that old Sarah, his housekeeper, was a relation of his, and not a very distant one, and that both she and he regarded her permanent on that account. He would have made it easier for her by giving her the help of a young servant woman or girl; but as old Sarah was still remarkably vigor- ous, and much too proud to accept wages without fully earning them, she would not hear of such an addition to the establish= ment, and worked far harder than she need have done to satisfy the most sensitive cons

science, To be Continued.

Lonpon, June —The London journals generally express regret at the termination of the extradition treaty, The Standard hopes that President Grant's message does not express the settled determination of the American Government, and says, ‘ The feeling between the two countries is now we trust sufficiently good to allow the dis- cussion of such matters in the common belief that neither is trying to over-reach the other.’ The 7imes says the termination of the treaty is a calamity, and further says, ‘ We emphatically repeat the hope that no considerations of pique or punctilio will be allowed to interfere with the negotiations of a new treaty.’ The Telegraph supports Earl Derby’s position on the extradition question, and says it is better that there would be no treaty at all than that England should yield to any power her immemorial right to know upon what ground and for what offence the meanest refugee is sur- rendered from her soil. hat is the prin- ciple which dominates British action in this matter, and Lord Derby has the whole nation behind him in the policy he has followed throughout the present complica» tion. Notice has been given in the House of Commons of an intention to bring the subject of a new extradition treaty before Parliament.

‘‘ Look before you leap ” says the adage: read before you condemn might be sub- | stituted sometimes. In the Patriot of June 22d, we notice a letter addressed to the | Editor of the Exawiner, and bearing the | signature “Isaac Murray.” One naturally | expectssto find scholarly precision and | learned criticism in the productions of a D. D. We trust the Rev. Dr. will not | take it amiss if we submit that he has con- demned one Catechism, at least, without cause. He says, “the Bible teaches the duties of rulers to their subjects ; of subjects to their rulers, and citizens to one another. Can this much be said of Catechisms ef the sectarian type? Have we passages like them in these found in Rom. 13th chap., 1-7; 1 Pot, 2; 13, 14,16; Mat. 5;41? We infer from this that a Catechism which would contain such passages would not, in Mr. Murray’s opinion, be dangerous to the State. Moreover, we suppose that he would call Butler’s Catechism “sectarian.” This being granted, we may claim Dr. Murray as an advocate for the teaching of Butler’s Catechism. Never was writer so helplessly bound by his own admission as is the learned Doctor. We give a few ex. tracts from that Catechism, whose teachings secularists so much abominate. We advise our readers to invest ten cents in one of these Catechisms, and their eyes will open with wonder as they peruse it. Instead of fomenting rebellion, or of advocating tyr. rany, or of inculcating hatred of Protest- ants, it contains the following submissive and charitable sentiments :

(. What are the duties of subjects to the temporal powers ?

A. Yo be subject to them, and to honor and obey them, not enly for wrath but also Jor conscience sake; for so is the will of God. —1 Peter; Rom. xiii.

Q. Does the Scriptures require any other duty of subjects ?

A. Yes; to pray for Kinys and all who are in high stations, that,we may lead a quiet and peaceful life.—1 Tim. ii,

Q. Is it sinful to resist or combine against the established authorities, or to speak with contempt or disrespect of those who rule over us?

A. Yes; St. Paul says, Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance ef God: and they that resist purchase to themselves damnation. —Rom, xiii,

Q. What are the chief duties of masters to their servants, apprentices, and others under their care ?

A. To lead them to God by word and ex~ ample; tosee that they be exact in their religious duties; to treat them with justice and humanity, and correct and reprove them when necessary.

Q. What does St. Paul say to masters ? A. Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in Heaven, —Col, iv, I,

Q. What are the chief duties of servants and apprentices to their masters ?

A. To be obedient, respectful and faiths ful to them, to be diligent in their work and services, and not to suffer their masters to be injured in their property by any person.—Ephes. vi; Col. iii.

Q. And who is thy neighbor ?—Luke x, 9S

A. Mankind of every description, ang without any exception of persons, even those who injure us or differ from us in religion.

Q. Howam I to love my neighbor as mys self ?

A. As you would, says Christ, that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner—Luke vi, 31.

Q. What particular duties are required of me by that rule?

A. Never to injure your neighbor by word or deed in his person, property or character, to wish weil to him, and to pray for him, and always to assist him as far as you are able, in his spiritual and corporal necessities,

Q. Am I also obliged to love my ene- mies ?

A. Most certainly; Love your enemies,says Christ, do yood to them that hate you, bless them that curse you and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you.—Luke vi. ; Mat. v.

We trust that Dr. Murray will be candid enough to admit that the above teaching is not injurious to anyone; putas it is ina catechistical form, it is easily learned and remembered by children. Hence the anx-~ iety of Catholic parents that their children should be instructed in the catechism. —_—_—_——
