LITERATURE. TRIUMPH AND DEFEAT. _ | An old man lay in the little chamber off | the best room of Abram Linmar’s un- pretentions farmhouse, listening half un- conscious to the sound of voices, now in stern demand, again in humble pleading and protestation. His long grey bair and beard swept the snowy linen of the pil- lows, against which his bronzed, sunken fuce seemed darker and more hollow; his bouy fingers beat the coverlid in anger and sympathy, as his ear followed the words of the speakers,and a glitter sparkl- ed in his eyes, which had, for five fong weary weeks, been glazed and dulled with lever, ‘I wish they’d come in,’ he muttered to himself; ‘1 want to know all about it; I was asleep at first and can’t guess how

it begun, but it is evident the geod pe«nle

of this house are in deep trouble.’

He had bardly ceased when the door of the apartment opened and Dame Linmar stepped in with the noiseless foot of the anxious nurse. was awake and was looking eagerly and inquiringly at her, she approached the bedside and spoke to him iu a voice as sad avd mournful as sorrew can train a wo- man’s tones to be.

‘Awake, sir? Has the talking in the other room disturbed you ?’

‘It has not broken my rest, but what I have heard has disturbed my miod. What is it? Lonly know that somebody gives you till next Monday morning to leave this comfortable home.

‘ [tis about a mortgage, sir. But here comes wy poor old husband ; he will ex. plain it better thao I can.’

At the word the door opened again and Abram Liomar entered with bowed head and firmly pressed lips.

‘He’s gone, Janet, and taken the very ist grain of hope L.nurtured. he memory of the service L rendered him wo-and-twenty years ago in saving his life when he was at the mercy of the high- waymen availed apything, and we shall have to leave the roof that has sheltered us so long, dowbly dear to me as the work of my own hands and the scene of genial associations.’

‘Farmer Linmar, excuse the impertin- ence of my curiosity,’ said the low voice

of the invalid, ‘1 know a little of your |

trouble may [| know it all ?’

* Alas, sir,’ replied the helpless host, ‘the story is short as our future stay within these walls will be brief. Five years ago my sop in New York, being embarass- ed, | borrowed from my next neighbour,a very wealthy man, the sum of eight thous- and dollars and gave him a mortgage og this—my farm of one hundred acres. Ine stead of gaining relief, my son became more embarrassed, failed utterly, and from disappointment, died. Ihave paid #wo thousand of the principal and now tender « third thousand, and beg that my creditor will not proceed to extremities. , But | plead toastone, He acknowledges that for years he has coveted my land, separat- ing, as it does, two parcels of hisown, and indeed he has made me many offers for it ; now that he has the power compel a sale, he swears that he will the mat+ ter and outbid any competi the means af his com he offer return interest B paid to tion of my quietly surre and I suppose I must. way.’

No stimulant could have strengthened | | the weak muscles of the invalid as the | simple pronouncing of that name did, He | rose to his « lbow, his deep set eyes glow- ing with the fire of excitement. ‘Ashel Pencost,’ he repeated, know where he came from ?’ Yes.

Preseatly he revived and said to the farmer slowly yet with firm accent: ‘ You need uot concern yourself further. | What county is this ?’ ‘Wayne.’ ‘Then you have the ablest man in | Wayne county to help you for your debtor. | I said just now I was the poorest; I was mistaken. When Asahel Pencost comes lon Monday to seize your farm, tell him that Marcus Whitney is your security for further discharge of the mortgage, and warn him to accept whatever terms are proposed.’ ee Monday morning came, and with it Asuhel Pencost, a deputy sheriff and a Farmer Linmar and his wife had spent an uneasy interval, not- withstanding the assurance of their in- voluutarily guest; and every attempt they had made in their quiet unobtrusive way to gain insight into the reason of the stranger's confidence had been met with evasion too patent to be further questioned.

He had been removed from | the bed in the little chamber to the old | haircloth sofa, which stood between the | two window that lighted the best room } and sat propped up with pillows, his eyes | closed and head throwed forward, while the preliminary demands were made by | the ereditor previous to turning the busi- ness over to the sheriff's officers.

‘You can’t pay, and won’t accede to my most liberal proposition ? exclaimed the great man, with an uactuous and sonorous voice, ‘ then you'll have to take the consequences.’ Turning to the officer and waving his hand in a eircle that seemed to sweep already with a creditor's grasp the goods aud lands af the untortua- ate debtor, he said: ‘Mr. Bimble, you will please to—,

‘Wait a minute’ said the invalid, sharply, giving a termination not intended for Peneost’s invocation. ‘ Please to wait alittle, Mr. Bimble, till there is need ot your interference.’

‘ And pray, sir who are you ?’ demand- | ed Mr. Pencost.

See! Asahe] Whitney—calling yourself, Pencost —here isa paper bearing your debt in money tome. You took everything I had in the world, and if I can strip you I'll do it. Here is the amount compounded annually at six per cent.; it amounts to two hundred and eighty six thousand and forty dollars. Can you pay it ?’

‘Have you no mercy?’ Will you not hear me ?’ begged the now humbled man in tears. ‘Farmer Liomar, plead you to him to listen to me; he will grant you so much.’

‘I'll say this much,’ returned Mr. Lin- mar, ‘he that hath no mercy on his fel- lows will hardly get it in his direct need.’

‘ You almost steal my purpose, while you do dissuade me,’ said Marus Whitney. ‘ I need mercy, and I'll show it, though I am afraid it is misplaced. Thirty- eight years ago, my brother standing there, was trustee for my portion of my father’s estate. I was married and away at sea, my wife and child in his care, as well as the money that had been left to me. I had been gone for five years, dur- ing all of which time my letters to my wife were suppressed, and those to me talsified. When I came back to little Salem it was to find my family all gone. My wife had been persuaded to my death and married my brother, who had sold out and gone no one knew where. From that day 1 have wandered up and down in the land seeking my own, till my foot- steps were led hither. Another time will do then, to talk of money reparation. Tell me, now, where is my son?’ This de maud was made in 80 earnest a tone that it told of no compromise; that debt, at least, was to be atoned in full.

‘I don’t know,’ replied the shrinking man. He recognized that he might be forgiven many of the paltry dollars claim- ed, but this claim for flesh and blood would not be foregone a jot nor tittle.’

‘ You are telliag me true ?’

‘It is notime to do otherwise now. When we quarrelled I told bim he was no son of mine, and he swore he would not bear my name ; he left, and left no track to trace him by, though I tried hard at the time. Some ten years ago I heard he had taken his mothers name and was call- ing himself Lamtert Morrison; whether the information was true or not L cannot say; but true or false, that is the last | have ever heard,’

‘Go you out into the world and seek my boy till you find him ; seek him as I sought you, in poverty, hunger, dirt, sor- row and madness, for weary, weary years, Bring him to me only and I’}! forgive sou every penny that you wronged me ot.’

Saving Up.—No one can deny that itis wise to make provision for old age, but we are not all agreed as to the kind of provision to lay up. Certainly, we shal] want some money, for a destitute old man is indeed a sorry sight. We advise our young readers to be saving in health, for their old age, for the maxim holds good in regard to health, as well as to money “ waste not, want not.” It is the greatest mis- take to suppose the violator of the laws of health can escape its penalty. Nature forgives no error, no sin. The offender may be let off tor twenty or fifty years, but nature catches him at Jast, and inflicts the punish» ment just when and where he feels it most. Save up for old age; but save knowledge, save the recollection of good and noble deeds, innocent pleasures and pure thoughts, save friends and save love. Save stores of that kind of wealth, which “(moth and rust can- not corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal”—which time cannot diminish nor death take away.

Do tHe Most Imporrant Tainc.—One of the striking characteristics of successful per- sons is their faculty of readily determining the relative importance of different things. There are many things which it is desirable to do; a few are essential » and there is no more useful quality of the ffiman mind than that which enables its possessor at once to distinguish which the few essential things are. Life is short and time so fleeting that much which one would wish to do must fain beommitted. He is fortunate who perceives at a glance what it will do, and what it will not do, to omit. This invaluable faculty, if not possessed in a remarkable degree naturs ally, is susceptible of cultivation to a con- siderable extent. Let any one adopt the practice of reflecting, every morning, what must necessarily be done during the day, and then begin by doingthe most important thing first, leaving the others to take their chance of being done or left undone. In this way attention first to the thimgs of first im- portance soom requires the almost irresistible force of habit, and becomes a rule of life lhere is no rule more indispensible to succes

Wait and Hope.—This is a world full of trouble, full of disappointment, as we al! know; but there is after all no fo.ly so great as that of ceasing to invite the smiles of hope ; not only because her smiles are sweet, but also because while we live there must al- ways be some sorrow awaiting us. We can po more stand stillin life than we can turn back. When we have no desire to go on, invisible forces are at work to compel us to do so. There are things we must do; people we must meet; events that will occur to us. We cannot believe that the deeds will al! be such as we must regret, the events al) sor- rowful ones, the new acquaintances ali enemies. And since we may do good and have’good done to us—-since true hearts may meet ours, though we do not to-day so much as know they beat—why may we not hope? Your home may be cold and hard, butit is not because the sun does not shine. It only needs a hand to#open the door and put aside the curtain to detin warmth and light. So, any moment tie shut doors of your life may open and earth’s sunshine fall across) your heart. Wait and hope; it, is only that the angel whose mission it is*€o.@0 this deed tarries’a little on the road. ‘

Wantep, a TESTIMONIAL.— They had a quarrel Sunday evening. He got mad‘and swore he‘d leave her. Then she got vexed and told him he could do as he pleased. He left, The next night he came around again. He asked to see her alone. She readily con- sented. She was all ofatremor. Her heart went out to him in a gush of sympathetic love, She stood ready to throw both arms around his neck and cry out her joy. ‘There was not much color in his face and his voice was husky, He said:

‘I have been with you six months, Matilda, and I have tried in all that time to do wuat wasright.’ He pauSedan instant to recover his voice which was altering rapidly, while her trembling increased. +I know that I have got considerable temper, and that I do not a!ways contro] itas I ought. But! have tried to be faithful to you, tried to do everything that I thought would tend to make you happy. And feeling this I have called to-night to see if you wouldn’t be kind enough to give me a sort of testimonial to that effect, so that I could show it to any other young lady I might want to go with. It might help me.’

He looked at her anxiously. Al! the color left her face in a flash. She made a great effort toswallow something which threatened to suffocate her. Then she spoke.

‘ You get out of this house as quick as yon, can, you miserable whelp, or my father shall kick you out.’

He didn’t toy-with time. the testimonial.
