THE THUNDER STORM, Zz. ‘* Please, mother, let us go!” It was a childish voice that spoke; and the —— hands clung obstinately to the parent’s reas. *‘How you bother me! Yes, for mercy’s sake, go, and don’t let me see you back in a hurry.” As she spoke, Mrs ror pt the broom she was using a toss, and flirted her dress from lit- tle mg ge hold so irritably that the smile which had at first brightened the child’s face died away into a sorrowful glance. The quick-tem parent saw the look, and felt rebuked. She turned away, saying: “ Well, go, if you are going. Childhood soon forgets, ev ij 3 irits gradually recovered their elasti y; pil voice was heard calling her sister Lucy te stop sweeping the walks and — the big Racket, for they were going to the 1s to ar flowers. So away the two went, happy the Saturday afternoon's holiday. What a pleasant time they had, those inno- iidren, in those old woods! How they rane: and thither, are z some — ww they play hide and seek among the the: woes boy the birds hopping at them; how they arranged and re- their spoils in the basket; and how lly sat down on a bank and began wea’ achaplet for Maggie, which she tried in and again, saying each time that it was Seautifal, ob! so beautiful; but she'd just put another flower in, tosee if it wouldu’t look bet- ter still.” “‘ Occupied in this way, the children had not observed how far they had wandered into the woods, nor how dark it was getting. Suddenly, Lucy looked up. “ Why, Maggie, it is almost night,”’ she said, in surprise; ‘‘ we must hurry home.”’ And she rose to go. At that instant a low, sullen growl was heard. Maggie, with ashy face, crept close to her sis- ter’s side, too terrified to speak, but asking, with her large, uplifted eyes, what it meant. “It's thunder,” said Lucy, in a whisper. Don’t tremble so, ee “I thought it must a lion,”’ whispered Maggie, still almost afraid to look around. «There are no lions here, you know, Mag- gie,”’ replied Lucy ; “ they are only found away off inp Africa.’ ere are bears and panthers, I’ve r say,”’ said Maggie, blushing for her mistake, yet speaking low. ‘‘ Don’t you or he said he often heard ’em growl at ‘But nine years old, so that she "expected to be much braver than was five; so at this reminiscence fearfully over her shoulder, as if half ‘to see a savage beast leap from some near. Till then she had not thought of the Gears and wolves. Even older persons, per- haps, would have felt uneasy, if unarmed ; for it was the original forest, and of vast extent, — for miles away quite over the moun- tains. Nevertheless, Lucy tried to keep up her courage. “« It is only the thunder, Maggie,’’ she said; “‘Ietus hurry and getout of the woods. Maybe we can do so before it begins to rain.”” With these words, taking her little sister by the hand, she began retracing her steps, walk- aggie could scarcely keep up with her. But fast as she walked. she could not out- strip the storm, whose rapid approach was heralded by. the increasing darkness and by the wind rising among the trees. Neither of the elfidren had ever been out at such a time be- and the moaning breeze was = often like sob of a child, or the cry of one in distress, of @ beast, that they were continually in terror. At such moments of alarm, Maggie would cling closer to her sister, whi le would hasten her steps anew, her little throbbing almost to bursting. edunily the wind rose toagale. The leaves ed in thousands to the ground ; the trees bent, rocked, and groaned asit in great agony ; the roar of the elements was awful; and the eky — sodark that Lucy no longer able to pick her way, could only hurry blindly forward, dragging Maggie with her breathlessly. Nearly an hour had passed in this manner— an bour that seemed an to the children. Long since Lucy knew they ought to have been out of the woods. But the forrest grew wilder at each step; every familiar appearance had vanished ; and at last the poor girl could not conceal from herself that they were lost Night was also at hand—a night of rain and tempest. Lucy asked herself, could they sur- Vive the wet and cold? Could they escape the wild beasts of which they had heard’? © what Would they think at home on finding that they did not return’? As such reflections succeeded each other in her mind. she would have stopped hopeleasly, | ag that the sight of her younger sister nerved » and for Maggie's sake me courageously on, trying to recover the lost path. last, further progress became impossible, so thick grew the durkness They had reached a little open space where a huge tree abutted on a broken bank, and to her dismey, Lucy re- cognized this as a spot which they had passed long ago. They were walking in a circle, she saw. At this thought her firmuess finally gave way. She paused, therefore, and looked in agony around. Yet still mindful of her younger sis- ter, she gathered Maggie, with motherly care, under her own shawi, in order to shelter her from the wind, that blew through the glade fiercer than ever. She had scarcely done this, when aclap of thunder, breaking almost im- mediately over head, went rattling down the sky, earth and beaven shaking under the con- cussion, as if nature was dissolving. It was sscompanied by a flash of lightning so vivid that everything for an instant seemed to swim ip light. Lucy was blinded by the glare and is the thunder. The horror of the s b inereased by the gloom which fell ne, accompanied by a sudden cessa- of the wind that was indescribably awful. tMfaggiec thought the world was comin toan ead, and whispered as much, clinging wildly to ‘ber sister. Then bursting into loud sobs, she em@isimed, “i mother was only here!” and bid her face in Lucy's bosom. - Was scarce less terrified than her sister The very ground seewed still reeling beneath ber. The rain. too, now began to fall in tor- rents, as if the fountains of heaven itself were opened. Wasn't it just like what she bad read of theday of judgment? Her limbs refused to support her, and she sank to her knees, drag- ging Maggie with her. Yet she made a last effort to cheer her sister. “* Don't don’t cry so,”’ was all she could say, clasping Maggie and sobbing as she spoke Then her littie remaining fortitude gave way, and they both wept ether, claspi other convalsively” = seat mi.

But she could see nothing of them. Over the neigh- boring mountain, however, bung thick, black elouds, the sure precursors, in this region, ofa violent storm.

I'll make her remember another time, I reckon.” One of the men looked uneasily at the sky a moment, and then passed on, shaking his head. When out of hearing he said to his companion, “ Dve heard tell of children wee teat in that forest. Twenty years ago, when settlement Was new, they say @ boy starved to death there. I wonder if Mrs. Carr would scold her little gal in this way, if she knew it might happen to-night to her own children.”’ It was only a passing reflection, and had es- caped his mind altogether, when two hours Inter, as he was Preparing to go to bed, fatigued with a hard day's labor, there came a knock at the door. The visitor was his fellow workman. “It’s true what you said about them chil- dren,”’ were the words of the intruder. “They haven’t come home yet, and the mother is taking on like one mad. She says they will die before morning, even if the panthers don’t —_ them. And it’s likely enough on such @ night.” jis host had been too much stunned by the intelligence tospeak. But his wife now pushed forward, her eyes wide open with horror. ‘* What's that you say !’’ she cried, *‘ whose childreti aro lost ?”’ “Mrs. Carr’s.”” ‘* Not in the forest?” The visitor nodded. The wife gave a quick scream, and glanced involuntarily at her own little ones, whom she had been preparing for bed. “Poor Mrs. Carr! Poor sweet little dears !’” she cried, wong te & oupboard for shaw! and bonnet. ‘ Here, ‘eggy,’’ she continued, turn- ing to her eldest child, a girl of twelve. “you must put your brothers and sisters to bed he t way you can.’’ ‘Jubh,”’ she added, ad- dressing her husband, “you're ‘oing of course. Only to think, little Magute.bord thatnae day of our Jane, on the mountains in a night like this.’ Her woman’s boart was alive with sympathy. Nor was her husband backward in res; nding toit. Itis indeed a beautiful trait of huhat nature, that any incident like this appeals right to the heart, even with the most unlet- tered; for every parent imagines what his or her feelings would be, ifthe lost one were their own “Twas for John I came,”’ said their visitor, as they left the house. “ fhe whole place has tu out, that is, the men, and are going to search the forest. But they'll want all the women that can be spared up at Mrs. Carr’s, for she has got the ’sterricks powerful bud; she says she was out of humor because Maggie plagued her to go, and told ’em she never wanted to see “em again, and now she says it’s 4 judgment on her.’ When they reached the house they found most of the neighbors already collected, the men talking about the door-way and plannin; their mode of search, while the women crowde the sitting-room inside, from which came the shrieks of the conscience stricken mother. Mrs. Brown paused long enough to learn that, although an hour before, in the height of the storm, Carrhad come home Up to that time the mother had flattered herself that the children had stopped at his shop, for he was a wheelwright, and worked at the end of the vil- lage. But from that moment she had been al- most frantic. The neighbors, on hearing that the children were lost, had volunteered to go out in search of them, but it took some time to collect them, and the Browns had been the last summoned, for they lived at the opposite end of the town. Entering the house, Mrs. Brown saw two fe- male acquaintances trying to hold Mrs. Carr, who was struggling in their arms, her hair hanging disheveled about her. “Let me go. he cried, “I will go. I'll walk on my hands and knees all over the mountain. if the Lord will only give me back my children. But he never wiil; he never will,’’ she said, rocking herselt,and speaking in a tone of help- less agony, ‘‘l told ‘em I didn’t want to see em again in a hurry, and he has taken me at my word.’’ The neighbors gazed at the poor, frantic crea- ture with tears in their i bey saying what they could. in voices choked by emotion, to soothe her. One suggested that the children had found shelter in a log hut standing at the foot of the mountain. Another said they might have been waiting under some capacious tree, till the rain ceased, in which case they were now on their way home, as there was a only a slight drizzle at present. But the mother would not be com- forted “Don’t say that,” she cried sharply, “for you know it ain't so. It’s been drizzling for an hour, and they would have been here if it was so."’ The neighbors felt the truth of this. “Qh! will nobody go for them?”’ she shrieked ; and with a sudden wild effort she freed herself from the two women who held her, and rushed to- ward the door, and gained the porch, when the sturdy arms of John Brown caught and re- strained her. * “‘Let me go, let me go."’ cried she, passion- ately writhing to release herself. “fhey’re my children, and no one goes fur them.’’ Then finding that she was powerless in the grasp of her Hereulean neighbor, she added, “ob, let me go,”’ in beseeching tones, so different from her usual manner,thatit brought tears to many a manly eye. “ We're all going,”’ said John Brown, sooth- ingly. “You could do no good. It’s nota night for a woman to be out.”’ * Not a night to be out,”’ she shrieked, ‘yet my children are out init Let me go. Let me go, I say.”’ And in her insanity she bit the hand that held her, till the blood came “Molly, Molly,”’ said a strong voice at this instant, and her husband rushed through the group of men. ‘Go infor their sake, and have blankets and hot water ready, or when we bring them back, they'll die mayhap for want of proper care-taking He spoke in a cheer- ful voice. She listened and grew calm, as when a maniac hears the voice of his keeper. Taking her up, as he ceased, in his strong arm, he carried her back into the house, where first mano a | smoothing the rain drops from her hair, he kissed her with rough kind- ness, and telling her to keep up a good heart, and have everything ready when they returned, burried away lest she should see the tears that began to gather, and rolled down on his cheek big and slow. “Now, neighbors,’’ he said, speaking huski- ly, and drawing the back of b s hand across his eyes as he stood once more in the doorway, “we will be off, if you say so, for all is ready. I thank you,” he added, with the natural dig- nity of deep suffering, as a dozen faces mutu- ally expressed their sympathy, “I know you will do as if it was your own children; and if it don’t succeed.” here his voice faltered for a moment, but struggling manfully he went on, ** God’s will be done!’ [To BE ConTiNUED.| — see “ Just as Wut ro bo it ix a Horry.’— Why, you see, when my man came a courtin’ hadn’t the least thought of what he was ot I.
