DINAH VISITS LISBETH,

Ar five o’clock Lisbeth came down stairs with a large key in her hand; it was the key of the chamber where her husband lay dead. Thronghout the day, except in her occasional outbursts of wailing grief, she had been in incessant movement, perform- ing the inital duties to her dead with the

awe and exactitude that belongs to religious She had brought out her little store

of bleached linen, which she had for long years kept in reserve for this supreme use. It seemed but yesterday—that time 80 + many midsummers ago, when she had told

rites.

Thias where this linen lay, that he might be sure and reach it out for her when she died, for she was the elder of the two.

to the strictest purity every object in the sacred chamber, and of removing from it every trace of common daily occupation. The small window which had hitherto free- iy let in the frosty moonlight or the warm summer sunrise on the working man’s slumber, must now be darkened with a fair white sheet, for this was the sleep which is as sacred under the bare rafters asin ceiled houses. Lisbeth had even mended a long neglected and unnoticeable rent in the checkered bit of bed curtain; for the moments were few and precious now in |which she would be able to do the smallest oftice of respect or love for the still corpse,

to which in all her thoughts she attributed ‘some consciousness. Our dead are never ‘dead to us until we have forgotien them; ‘they can be injured by us, they can be | wounded; they know our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty; all | the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic ‘of their presence. And the aged peasant 'woman most of all believes that her dead ‘are conscious. Decent burial was what Lisbeth had been thinking of for herself throngh years of thrift, with an indistinct expectation that she should know when she | was being carried to the churchyard, fol- \lowed by her husband and her sons; and |now she felt as if the greatest work of her life were to be done in seeing that Thias | was decently buried before her—under the ‘white thorn, where once in a dream she had thought she lay in the coffin, yet all the while saw the sunshine above, and smelled ,the white blossoms that were so thick upon ‘the thorn the Sunday she went to be | churched after Adam was born.

But now she had done everything that ,could be done to day in the chamber of death—had done it all herself, with some aid from her sons in liftirg, for she would let no one be fetched to help her from the village, not being fond of female neighbors ‘generally; and her favorite Dolly, the old housekeeper at Mr. Burge’s, who had come to condule with her in the morning as soon as she heard of Thias’s death, was too dim-sighted to be of much use, She had locked the door, and now held the key in her hand, as she drew herself wearily into a chair that stood out of its place in the middla of the house ficor,

But what at another time would

Lengths of Japanese Silks, worth ican intolerable to Lisbeth’s habits of

order and cleavliness, seemed to her now just what should be; it was right that things should look strange, and disord:r:d, and wretched, now the old man had come to his end in’ that sad way; the kitchen ought not to look as if nothing hid happen- ed, Adam, overcome with the agitations and exertions of the day, after his night of hard work had fallen asleep on a bench in the workshop, and Seth was in the back kitchen, making a fire of sticks, that he might get the kettle to boil, and perauade his mother to have a cup of tea, an indulg- ence which she rarely allowed herself.

There was no one in the kitchen when Lisbeth entered and threw herself into the chair. She looked round with blank eyes at the dirt and confusion on which the bright afternoon sun shone dismally; it was all of a piece with the sad confusion of her mind—that confusion which belongs to the first hours of sudden sorrow, when ‘he poor human soul is like one who has been deposited sleeping among the ruins of a vast city, and wakes up in dreary amaze- ment, not knowing whether it is the grow- ing or the dying day—not knowing why and whence came {this illimitable scene of deso- lation, or why he too finds himself desolate in the midst of it.

At another time, Lishbeth’s first thought would have been, ‘Where is Adam? but ihe sudden death of her husband had restored him in these hours to that first place in her affections which he had held six-and-twenty years before; she had for- gotten his faults as we forget the sorrows of our departed ehildhood, and thougnt of nothing but the young husband’s kind- ness and the old man’s patience. Her eyes contiaued to wander blankly until Seth came in and began to remove some of the scattered things and clear the small -|round deal table, that he might set out his mother’s tea upon it,

‘What art goin’ to du? she said, rather peevishly.

‘I want thee to have a cup of tea, mother,’ answered Seth, tenderly. ‘It'll do thee good; and [ll put two or three of these things away, aud make the house more comfortable.’

‘Comfortable ! How canst talk o’ ma’in’ things comfortabie? Let abe, let a-be. There's no comfort fir me no more,’ she went on, the tears coming when she began

A Wise Man's Advice.

WHAT A NOVA SCOTIA PROFESSOR KNOWS OF PETER TUFTS AND HIs ESLATE. Professor J. F. Tufts, of Horton Colle- giate Academy, has written a letter refer- ring to the reported action being taken by descendants of Peter Tufts to recover a large area of ground embracing a con- siderable porticn of what is now known as the town of Medford Mass. Prof. Tufts, who is himself a descendant of the ancient Peter, says:—The first person bearing the name of Tufts who eame to New England was Peter Tufts. He settled in Medford and owned about 1,000 acres of land in that vicinity. At present there are records of twenty-seven different deeds of land pur- chased and held by him. He left three sons and six daughters, who inherited his property. His eldest son, Peter Tufts, was born in 1648. He lived in Medford, and died there in 1721, leaving sixteen children, four by his first wife and twelve by his second, who wasa daughter of Rev. Sea- born Cotton. This man had children enough to take care of his property. Rev. John Tufts, the seventh son cf the last named Peter, was born in 1689, and died in 1750, leaving four children, one of whom, Rev. Joshua Tufts, came to Nova Scotia as chaplain to a British regi- ment. He and his wife died soon after coming to this province and left three sons, from whom the people in Nova Scotia bear- ing the name have descend: d. It is not true that most of the descendents of Peter Tufts are or ever have been in Nova Seotia. I fail to see how anybody can expect to recover lands in Medford, Muss., that have so many years been held in peaceful possession. I trust none of the descend- ants of Peter Tufts resident in Nova Seotia will build any hopes upon this *‘trewendors fortune.”
