A New England Stery. Josh Crane was a Yankee born and bred, a farmer on Plainfield Hill, and a specimen. If some strange phrases were grafted on his New England vernacular, it was beeause for fifteen years of his youth he had followed the sea; and the sea, to return the compliment, thereafter followed him. His father, old Josh Crane, kept the Sanbury grist-mill, and was a drunken, shiftless eld ereature. who ended his days in a tumble- down red house a mile below Piainfield Centre, being *- took with the tremens,”’ as black De- ter said when he came for the doctor—all too late, for the “tremens” had, indeed, taken him eff.

Then came the country’s pestilence, consump- tion, and, after long struggles, relapses, rallies, all received in the same calm patience, Hetty Crane died in a summer’s night, her little boy asleep beside her, and a whippoorwill on the apple tree by the door sounding on her flicker- ing sense the last minor note of life. When Josh woke up and knew his mother was dead. he did not behave in the least like good little boys in books, but dressed himself without a tear or a sob, and ran for the nearest neighbor. kes alive!’’ said ‘Miss’ Ranney. “I never did see sech a cretur as that are boy in all my days! he never said nothin’ to me when t i t is t t e of Georrate vicinity, Also. a he came to our folks’s only jest—+ Misa Ran- | noble alley which bears the name and which | *t the lowest rate ot Tevorente Bee aera pl oF Miivomtiane’ comstasioes ot nantes ney, I guess you'd better come cross lots to see | leads to the ruins of the Convent of Longchamp es regen pe aN feat re ee as a Rlogers, 0: iia akon mother, she don’t seem to be alive.’ *Dew | remains solitary and deserted.

With the belies of the village, Uncle Josh had no euch favor; he would wear a pig-tail in spite of scoff and rewonstrance; he would smoke a eutty-pipe; and he did swear like a sailor from mere habi id forgetfulness, for no man, not professedly religious, had a diviner instinct of reverence and worship than he; but it was as instinctive in him to swear as it was to breathe, and some of our boldly-speculative and law-despising youngsters held that it was no harmin him, any more than “‘gosh’’ and “thander”’ were in us; for really he meant no more. However, Uncle Josh did not quite* recipro- cate the contempt of the sex; before long he began to make Sunday night visitations at Deacon Stone's, to “brush his hat o’ morn- to step spry, and to wear a stiff collar eck. instead of the open tie he had kept. with the pig-tail, long afier jacket and tar- paulin had been di ed the service; so the village directly discovered that Josh Crane Was courting the school mistress, ‘- Miss Eu- nice.”’ who buarded at Deacon Stone's. What Miss Eunice's surname might be I never knew, nor did it much matter; she was the most kind- ly, timid, and lovable creature that ever tried to reduce « district school into manners and arithmetic ; she lives in my memory still, a tail. slight figure, with tender brown eyes, and a sad face, its broad lovely forehead shaded with siiky light hair, and her dress always dim- tinted, taded perhaps, but serupulously neat and stable. Everybody knew why Miss Eunice looked so meekly sad, and why she was still ** Miss’’ Eu- nice—she had been “‘disappointed;”’ she bad jJoved a man better than he loved her, and therein copying the sweet angels, made a fatal mistake, broke her girl’s heart. and went to keeping school for a living. All tbe young people pitied and patronized her; all the old women agreed that she was “a real clever little fool!’ and men regarded her with a species of wonder and curiosity, first, for haying a breakable heart, and next, for putting that member to fatal baru for on their kind; bat the boys ranked Miss Eunice even above Uncle Joeh; for there lives ia boys acertain kind of chivalry, before the world has sneered it out of them, that regards a sad oO jured woman as acreature claiming all toeir care and protection; and it was with a thrill of virtuous indignation that we heard of P sl 5 i t Josh Crane's intentions towards Miss Eunice ; Mrs. Stone announced to old Mrs. Ranney, useful, passively, in spreading news confided Crane, ‘cause he wan’ta professor; but she didn’t want nobody to tell on't,”” so everybody cerely religious woman, and though Josh’ ple, fervent, love-making had stirred a thrill still, she did not think it was right to marry an irreligious man, and she told him so with a meek firmness, that quite broke down poor with profounder res sort; he would have cut off his pig-tail, sold his tobacco keg, tried not to swear for her sake, bes he could not pretend to be pious, and he id not. had got past the shyness of meeting, and set aside if not forgotten the past, there was a re- vival of religion in Plainfield—no great excite- ment, but a quiet springing up of “good seed” sown in past generations, it may be, and among of Uncle Josh.
