THE EVENING STAR. | _ remember right sew Job Dean, "it whe ons Fisst-dny in Guird | month, when the roads were at Worst, | we t wring blew tous it e i people in the World were ail deat and must heard me of. a bet wap mente thee juainted with my da: ‘Sol gave friend Dean 1 hand across a divi. 0) jae in. T had fore, eyes which baffle curiosity, which see all trom.an ambush,“deep, unutterable,” mute eyes. They may wear a smile which you think means joy or complais- ance, till you find it means nothing, that it is ‘worn all the same over a py ora bleeding int of the hidden sunlight I cannot talk to such eyes. I could notsay mauch to friend Jop, though there was some- thing in his stiff. quiet ways which pleased me, and though a certain expression in my father’s face bade me try my best to be social. Father was always 4 little stern. When his band lay on my head even with an unspoken blessing, I always felt it like the weight of the Old and New Testaments, Which contain the law as well as the gospels. He haa said to me at two different times, “ Rachel, when Job Dean goes through the State he will make it in his way to call on us, and I shall want thee to treat him the best thee knows how.” It needed only these words and the steady born my father’s eye to warn me that friend | must be entertained like a stranger who may turn out to beanangel. But words would notcome. I only said: | «I've often heard of thee, friend Dean, and | now 1 am glad two see thee.” And he answered, “I have often heard fre- quent mention of thee, friend Rachel. It gives me pleasure to meet thee.” So we reached | home entire strangers, and there still lay be- tween us thé patch of snow andice. Onopen- | ing the door we met Dr. Ehrmann just descend- ing the front stairs. | “Only @ neryous attack,” said he in answer to my father’s inquiries. «Lydia came for me | in atright. Some one had been so thought. | less,” added he, nodding atme with a smile, *¢ as to tell her war stories, poor old lady.” “Why don’t thee scold me,” cried [, scold | me severely ; thee knows well I deserve it.” He opened his lips to say something kind, I | suppose, the good doctor, when father present- ed him to this angel unawares, Job Dean. I saw him take the stranger into the dissecting Foom of his brain. I knew he was studying | him with a quick eye; but friend Job eour. | teously extended his hand, and whether he perceived that he was being measured, body and soul, was more than I could tell. Then they all entered the parlor, and I rnsh- | ed up stairs to my great-aunt. She was sleep- | ing at last, poor soul. Between real and fan- cied ailments, she keptour family physician busy. From the time that my consciegce was first old enough to prick me at all, | had been penitent every day of my life for some thought- Jess offence against the dear, neryous old lady, my mother’s sister. She was not a« Friend.” | My father married + out of the meeting.” They say my mother was a bright, quick spirit, | always on wings, while my father trod the | solid ground, @ man of well. persuaded mind. She died before 1 can remember. I wa; ed- ucated at an excellent “ drab-colqged boarding school,” where bread and butter misses were | actually allowed plenty of bread and butter. Now I had come home to live. I had caught from my teachers, and from the long associa- | tion with the friends of our society, a staid- | ness of deportment which gave general satis- taction. Sometimes my rather said he almost believed I had an equable temperament, af- ter all. Equable! Sois a thermometer! So is @ little bay, or sea water swayed by the moon! The truth is, we women learn how to fold ourselves about in layers of decorum. I was encased in a net work of maxims and rules | of propriety, and there I stayed, locked in, unless now and then some rare soul like child-like Aunt Filuraor good Dr. Ehrmann, | knew how to touch the secret spring, when out I must come, whether I would or not, and be my own wild, impulsive self. Wheth- | er friend Job would ever see me otherwise | than a prim Quaker damsel, depended entire- iy on the natural magnetism of his nature. hat presentiment had I on that subject ! Ah, friend, thee needn’t ask too close questions. A maiden may have intuitions, but even when one tries to tell a true story, don’t thee think | there are some things one mightas weil keep back? Iwent down to see about dinner, and the | first person 1 met was our guest, Job Dean ‘My father was leading him about, exhibiting to him the excellent pomp: cloathes wringer, | and cheese press. hether friend Job was interested or annoyed, no mortal could tell. He stiffiy pushed back the auburn hair trom his forehead, and listened to all my father had to_say with the same “ heart-hiding smile.” I felt as if I couldn't breathe with a stranger in the kitchen! “1s a fine day,” said I, foolishly. Friend Job folded his arms together.ina hard knot and looked in my face, firstat one eyeand then at the other. “I can’t entirely agree with thee,” said he, dryly. 3 1 fancied there was a twinkle of fan in his eye. beg e. ow] thy pardon. It’sa miserable day ! But don’t thee feel comforted to think how this sloppy: watery snow is ‘turning the sod 10 violets ?’” « What did thee observe?” A twirkle in his eye, indeed! 1t must have been just a twitching of the lids! I was in despair. If peuple can’t talk of the weather, pray what can they talk about? “Thee sees our northern country only in eutline. It isn’t beautiful yet. Tnee hasn’t any idea how much lovelier it is in summer.” « The season is backward,” replied Job, and that was all he said. I think silence conceals one’s thoughts even better than words, in spite ot philosopbers. Let a man put on a look of calm superiority and keep it on, it will avail him more than “nine measures of talk.” I got them into the parlor. The doctor sat reading. «Don’t worry, Rachel,” said he in a low voice; how did he know Il was worried! « We will find something to say.” «Thee can do a great many things, friend Charles,” said I, «‘ but I'm afraid thee’ll find this a little beyond thy powers.” + I flew about getting dinner. The fire was out and so was * Liddy,” the housekeeper, she always goes home on First-day. I tipped the cream pitcher over my silk dress; scorched the beans, set the carving knife beside them on the table, and left off the spoons, castors and plates. Sull it was late before dinner was ready. I wae afraid the doctor would not wait. «Tam glad thee stayed,” said I, when I went to call them ; ‘I think thee is very thoughtful, Iny friend.” He was near the door, and no one could hear me buthim. He looked up with & roguish smile. “ hel, don’t keep always thanking me so much! I believe you think I’m old and saintly, and when I serve you I do it for penance, and Dot for my own pleasure.” ‘When we seated ourselves at the table, I was sure something was wrong, and I am afraid | when we folded ourhands to ask a silent bless- ing, my heart did not rise in gratitude, for I | smelled the scorched beans. Every time 1 left my chair to ome forgotten article, my | father exclaimed, hy Rachel,” in a tone which setiny cheeks to tingling. Thee will | Understand it, fair reader. Never before had | cat father brought young man to the house | | ith the earnest injunction, « Rachel, I want thee to treat him the best thee knows how.” Never had I seen him more at'entive to a guest; and here was I, his only daughter, | giving but 4 shallow hospitality, feeding this distinguished stranger almost on husks, and | blundering every time I addressed him. i don’t know whether Job Dean overlooked my woful deficiencies as hostess, for thongh | exceedingly well-mannered, he was not much | iven to polite soclety-lies. And then Dr. | ‘brmann talked Mke a magpie, cal “ | one’s attention from me to nimnsel tS “dont know how many dishes of sentiment ang Science he had dipped into before we came to dessert, and by that time, thanks to his kindness, my | cheeks were comfortably cool. ++ Well, what does thee think of friend Deant™ | Inquired my father with considerable earnest. ness the first time he saw me alone. «I think he is nicer than a pin,” said I, with unwonted flippancy. « Why I shonidn’t won. der if he mowed his front yard with a pair of scissors, and looked through a microscope when | he brushed his coat! How old is he!” { ‘+ He is of age,” returned my father, severely. “My daughter, thee is too quick with thy haies meant to ask thee how thee likes him « Like him, father?.
