THE GYPSY'S PREDIGRION,
BY BLAKE PAXSON.
Ezra Alden was in love with Clara Scud- der; and, sometimes iu moments of great exultation—for he was a modest youth, as every true lover should be—-he had dared , to think that she did not frown upon his passion.
But Clara was the squire’s daughter, and an heiress, while Ezra was but a small farmer, and so far from successful in that pursuit, that it seemed absurd, as well as unpossible, that he should aspire to the hand of the lovely Miss Scudder who had been courted in vain by five London gen- tlemen.
So he had sighed and cast longing leoks from his place in the choir (where he sang in a fine tenor voice on Sunday) into the squire’s pew; and more than once he thought pretty Clara blushed brightly, and he knew well enough that she always smiled sweetiy, and her voice, when she

spoke to him, had a caressing sound, and altogether her manner towards him was not discouraging, But Ezra would not be en- couraged,
He felt it was useless for him to ask the squire for his daughter’s hand unless he
|had a good pot of money in his own hand
with which to back his proposal. So, instead of trying to compass the de- sired end by increased industry, he neglect-
ed his farm more than before, and spent his whole time in wishing that he could
Ve ’ find a pot of money somehow, in the man-
ner of old fashioned stories—at the foot of a tree; under the foundation of his house.
I believe he would even have.sought for it at_the end of the rainbow, like the boy in the nursery rhyme, if he had been told there was a good chance of finding it there.
Suddenly a rumor spread abroad that a wonderful gypsy had appeared, who was telling people's fortunes that came true in the most remarkable manner, and all the countryside was in a state of excitement on the subject.
She was of somewhat exclusive character, the madam gypsy, and could only be con- sulted in a certain place, in the shadow of a wych-elm, in the open air, and during certain hougg-+these hours being between the last-ray pfthe declining sun, and the first w of coming night.
Ot course the rumor of the gypsy’s mar- velous fortune-telling reached Kzra Alden, aml equally, of course, he was much exer- cised in mind concerning it.
He found out the place where the for- tune-teller divined these fair fortunes.
One evening, after watching the sun slowly disappear behind the western hills, he repaired thither, stealthily, and a little afraid of meeting Clara Scudder somewhere in the vicinity; for the wych-elm was just on the further side of the squire’s park.
However, he met no one,except a hurried squirrel, fast speeding to its home, and it was even more scared at being met than he was, so he hastened to the wych-elm, and there, sure enough, was madam gipsy, sit- ting curled up against the trunk, and look- ing precisely as if she were waiting for him.
She was a very old woman, bent almost double.
Her lined and wrinkled face was the color of butternuts, and the tangles of her hair hung in elf-like grizzled locks about her brow and over her cheeks.
But her black eyes had a_ wondeful brilliancy and such a keen look that they seemed to see right through him.
She was wrapped in a tattered old scarlet cloak, and a hood of the same was drawn well over her head.
She gave a quick nod to Ezra, and motioned him to take a seat at her feet, which he did with his heart thumping as if he were before the Delphic oracle.
And when she spoke, he had to bend his head and listen very attentively, for not only did she mutter her words in a very toothless fashion, but she spoke in so low a tone that he had some difficulty in hearing her.
But he made out what she said —
‘| was expecting you, my son, and | know what you come for.”
And then she held out a hand brown, a shaking, tremulous hand.
Then Ezra made haste to cross the palm with silver, this being, as he well knew, the time-honored custom.
Ezra had in his pocket a half crown piece, with a hole in it, anda cross drawn on its face, which he had kept many years for luck,
So, as there could be no more suspicious occasion than the present, for using it, he timidly placed it in the gipsy’s hand, and again bent his ear attentively to listen to her unintelligible mumbling.
‘| know the desire of your heart, my pretty gentleman,” said the gipsy, ‘“‘It isa certain maiden, not a hundred miles away, only you have the faint heart that seldom wins a fair lady. Bue if you could finda pot of money, your spirit would be bolder. Listen to me, and obey me, and you shall have your wish.”
Ezra did listen, with all his ears, and as you may suppose, they were just then pretty long and wide, and capable of taking in a large amount.
“You must dig up every foot of land you possess,” proceeded the gipsy; ‘* you must not grow weary in your search, you must dig and dig continuously, and plant and harvest, and dig again if necessary; and, mark my words, sooner or later, _you will tind the pot of money, and the maiden will be yours. .

Ezra listened with faith, and departed
>} with faith in his heart.
He fulfilled the fortune-teller’s injunction so well. that all the countryside took to talking of him after the gipsy disappeared. He not only dug, but he plowed, sowed and harrowed.
He seemed taken with a sudden mania
for farming, and work, which before had
been distasteful and monotonous, now that | he had an object in view, was full of excitement and interest.
At first he dug and dug, looking for lis . pot of money ; but as it did not turn up,

he continued to dig, full of faith, and growing every day more and more inter- ested in his own efforts.
“What on earth has. got into Ezra Alden?” asked the. neighbors, one of another. ‘‘Why, he has taken to working like one possessed. He’s hired a man, too, and the pair of ‘em are at it from the first dawn of daylight till nightfall,”
‘‘Whatever has got ito him, he’s going to have the best crop of the year,” answer. ed one, “Lucky man. Just when there's a-going to be a rise in flour, too, and he has ue end of wheat growing, and in splen- did cofidition.”
“Why Clara, isn’t that Ezra Aldea’s farm?” asked the squire, as his daughter one daylrove him past it, in her pretty pony carriage. : ‘*Yes sir, returned Clara, with a faint pink stealing into her cheek.
“Has someone else farmed it, then ?” asked the squire. ‘There isn’t another farm avound here tit to compare with it.” The pink in Clara’s cheek deepened to a lovely crimson.
“Oh, no, papa, “she said, softly; “‘it seems Ezra—Mr. Alden, has just devel- oped a talent for farming.”
“And a firsi-rate talent, [ should say,” remarked the old gentleman. ‘‘A man who can show such a farm as that can hold his head as high as anyone.”’. *““Clara’s eyes glowed and sparkled. touched her ponies lightly,
Her happy thoughts rushed off into the future at a pace to rival even their fast trot- ting.
As the neighbors ,had foretold, Ezra Alden had particularly fine crops that sea- son. His success at farming also devel- oped his commercial ability. He sold all that he had to sell to excellent advantage. “Well,” said Ezra, as he counted up his gains, and tied them securely in his money- bag, ‘I haven’t found my pot of money; but this little pile is not to be despised, and I shall keep on. By George! 1 won- der if this is what the old gypsy meant.” Ezra had some time on his hands now for dreaming.
He took to sighing for Clara once more, but in a much more hopeful spirit.
‘* | will speak to her father,” he thought, ‘‘and if he gives me encouragement, I will ask Clara if she will marry me.”
Now some young men would have thought it sefer to win the daughiter’s con- sent first; but Ezra was too honorable for that.
“If the squire won't have me,” he said to himself, ‘‘it is no use to ask Clara. She would never disobey her father. |! should not care half so much for her if she would.” So he took the money-bag in his hand and sought tle presence of Squire Scudder. The Squire sat reading a volume in his handsome old fashioned parlor.
Being in a very genial mood, he received Ezra with the most encouraging kindness, and listened to all he had to say with a benignant smile.
‘it is not a great deal,” concluded Ezra, holding up his money-bag, ‘‘hut there’s plenty more where I found this, sir.”
‘‘And pray, where did you find it, Mr. Alden?” asked the squire, rather taken back.
‘*At the roots of the wheat and barley,” answered Ezra, adding, witha laugh —**to tell the truth, sir, I consulted a fortune- teller, and she told me to dig and dig, and I would certainly find a pot of money, I haven’t found it yet, but I intend to keep on digging, and I don’t doubt but I shall find it by-and-by.”
Squire Scudder burst into a heartylaugh, and kindly patted Ezra on the shoulder.” ‘**T don’t doubt but you will, my Jad,” he said, cheerily. ‘* Honest industry is the best. pot of money any young man ever found. As for Clara, you can talk over that matter with herself—she’s sitting there by the window, hidden behind the eur- tains.” Now squire, Clara’s mean it. It seems quite impossible for these old gentlemen to realize how serious such mat- ters are to boys and girls.
Squire Scudder rose witha nod and a smile and went away, leaving Ezra in dire confusion, staring at the window curtains, and wishing the floor would open and swal-

low him. But it didn’t. Instead, the window curtains opened
and a lovely young lady stepped out from them.
‘* So, Mr. Alden,” she said, coming for ward, ‘‘ you consulted the gipsy fortune- teller, too /”’
**Qh, Miss Scudder—Clara—you have heard everything,” stammered Ezra, sinking into the chair from which he had risen in his first consternation. ** What a terrible fool you must think me.”
‘* But I don’t—i have great confidence in that gipsy’s predictions.”
‘‘ Then you consulted her, /’’ asked Ezra.
“Dozens of times-—she positively had all my small silver.” ; ;
‘Well, she got but a single piece from me, that’s some comfort,” recovermg some- what, and venturing to laugh slightly.
“ Was it anything liké this 7” asked Miss Scudder, producing one from her pocket, and holding it toward Ezra on the palm of a hand like cream.
Ezra looked, started and gave a little cry. It was his own lucky silver piece. He glanced into the laughing, blushing face, and then for the first time he looked straight into Clara Scudder’s eyes.
They were very, very dark, and wonder- fully brilliant ; but this time they did not seem to look through—-they sank before his glance, and veiled themselves under lovely, long black lashes. “Oh, Clara,” were the gipsy /” ** Of course 1 was. “And you knew [ loved you all the time ?”

“Of course I did, yor foolish fellow— ‘tha why 1 had to invent a way of tell- lig you 80.”
In a year Ezra and Clara were married.
