The common reply is, “Any pursuit by which a man earns or attempts to earn a livelihood and to accumalate wealth.” This detinition is the more to be regretted be- Gause it cherishes, or rather begets, the vulgar error that all persons who do not aim at the accumulation of wealth are “idlers. of fact such men may be Vices to the world than the most diligent and successful votary of a trade or Darwin, having @ competency, was therewi €ontent.

BY SOPHIE SWETT. Scragg suddenly awoke to the know!l- edge that iP was a village. Hitherto it had clung to the skirts of Ponkapawket and had never thought of the possibility of a separate existence. The soll was poorin that part of the town, and it had been a hard struggle to wring a living from It; the place was unhealthy, too, and ‘as pindlin’ as a Scragg-Ender” was ahousehold sayingin Ponkapawket. Nobody had seemed to prosper or to have much ambition. They were not accused of being “slack” or shiftless—they were hard-working | people—but they ‘never seemed to get ahead.” Some people thought there wasa depressing influence in the name, and had made a move to change It; there seemed to” be no especial propriety in retaining It, now that the Scragg family, for whom it was named, and who were | the first settlers,had all died off. except ““Bueny Visty,” the sea-captain’s daughter, who was married out of the name. But still the name clung tothe place. Although seyeral romantic names were suggested, such as Laurel Bank and Primrose Plain, the inhabitants would call it nothing but Seragg End, and Scragg End it seemed likely to remain until the end of time. They had @ school at Seragg End at certain seasons of the year, becanse Ponkapawket built them a school-house and appropriated to their use a certain part of the school money, but they did all their shopping in Ponkapawket and relied upon that village for those servants of society generally regarded as indispensable, the doctor, the lawyer, and the mimister. Rather strangely, it was the want of the last-mentioned of these servants that awoke Scragg End toa sense of its rights. Crichett, who had been In il health eral months, suddenly discovered that she had a spine in her back, and was not long for this world, and wanted’ Gospel privileges bef she died. Miss Angelia Lawton, who was held in high esteem because her father had been the minister of Ponkapawket, declared that she didn’t think Mr. Erieson, the present minister of Ponkapawket, who now and then preached inthe Scragg End school- house on a Sunday afternoon or evening, was “spiritual,” because he worea ring on his Anger, and she * didn’t feel to sit under” him any more. And good old Mrs Simmons, who walked all the to Ponkapawket to church every pleasant Sunday, said she had always known that * until it was watered by the drop- pings of the sanctuary, Scragg End would not prosper.” And Scragg End suddenly decided that Instead of occasional preaching by the Ponkapawket minister it was entitled to “ a stated supply.” No longer would it go without “regular Gospel rivil ” e Adoniram Hewitt, whose father had been a deacon, was deputed to make application to the proper authorities in that denomination to which Scragg End almost universally belonged for a minister to supnly the Scrage End pulpit, or rather the school desk, until a church should be built. Adoniram Hewitt received an encouraging answer to his application. A very earnest and talented young preacher, lately graduated from a theological seminary, would at once be sent to Seragg End. . Some of the older people demurred a little; they “didn’t think much of 'prentice hands;” but the people generally thought a young minister was much more interesting. Interest and curi¢ Ser: End on the ¢ ity were at their height in y when Lysander Hewitt Ponkapawket sta- tion to bring back the new minister. Innumerable guesses had been made among the younzer | portion of the community concerning the BY in. Jt was generally ed upon by the young ladies that he would with dark éyes, a melodious very white ds, and they ed several yery handsome book-marks sible and hymn-book which were sed for the desk—Mr Ericson had been biized to bring his own—and an elegant satin cushion to rest them on. Th mister was to board at Adontram Hew- itt's, the Hewitts being well-to-do beyond the majority of Scragg End people, and being re- garded as possessing book-learning, which would make them congenial companions for a minister, for Adoniramn had in his youthful days been sent to an academy where Latin was taught, and Lysander, his son, had fitted him- self for college, and only’ been prevented from working his way through by the illness of his father, which made it necessary for him to remain on the farm. Moreover, the Hewitts kept a “hired girl"—a very unusual luxury at Scrage End; and both Mrs. Hewitt and Roxy, the sirl, were famous cooks, and ministers were but men in the matter of eating, however spir- itually minded they might be; indeed, Miss Hepsy Jackson, who was greatly given to at- tending county conferences, had observed that “the plouser they were the more they ate.” Bat this was generally rezarded as sacri legious, and it was remembered that Miss Hepsy was not “a professor.” though she had such zeal in the matter of county conferences, Adoniram Hewitt’s house presented a holiday app ce on that summer afternoon when ler drove over to Ponkapawket station to the minister. The best room was thrown open, there were flowers everywhere. Hewitt had on her best cap, and the pan- § ‘s were fined with good things to eat, iu such quantities as to lead one to the beliet that Miss Hepsy Jackson's words had had their weight. Ali Serazg End was at its windows and doors. Mrs. Hewitt stood on her door- steps, her cap strings fluttering in the breeze. “Ido hope Lysander hasn’t forgotten to get anew box of blacking. Of course the minister will want his boots ver y,” she said to herself. zu ey Just at that moment Lysander drove up—with only a girl beside him. What could be the rea- | Son that the minister had not come? The young lady Was a stranger. She had probably come to visit somebody at Scraeg End, and as there was | nobody to meet her at the station Lysander haa brought her over. But he was helping her to alizht at their own gate. She was walking up the path. Mrs. Hewitt adjusted her glasses and satisied herself that the face was unfamiliar. She was @ grave and dignified young woman, with a self-possessed manner. but with a bright flush on her face. Why didn’t Lysander come up and introduce her, instead of attending to the horse? “I suppose you were expecting me," sald the young lady, extending her’ hand ina triendly way. “I am the new minister—Miss Barton.” As Mrs. Hewitt afterward declared, “you could have knocked her down with a feather.” And her overwhelming astonishment was so plainly shown that the new minister became very much embarrassed. “Of course you knew—certainly you ought to ay been told that—that | was ® woman,” she said. “We didn't know. Why, we never thought of such athing. They didn't say a word about It,” exclaimed Mrs. Hewitt, and in her astonishment and a dismay she utterly ignored the outstretched The young lady had a and resolute fare, but Mrs. Hewitt suddenly e@ aware that the corners of her mouth were areoping, and there was a hurt as weil as a weary look her eyes, and all her motherly compassion was aroused. “Bat it don't make tpt Sesion ehila—t mean ma'am. I've no doubt you can h as well as half the men. We know what ts going ou in the world, if we do live a good ways out of it; only there never did happen to be a woman preacher ‘here about here, so it took me by surprise. We believe in giving women a fair chance, here in Scragg End, } can tell you.” “1 was afraid you might have objections,” said the young lady, a smile chasing the wearl- ness out of her face. “Oh, we shall think everything of you, I've no doubt—after awhile. You don't know what it fs to be without regular preaching as long as we have. Come right in and get rested, and have a cup of tea, for I expeot you've hada hard journey.” Belore escorting her guest to her room Mrs. Hewitt managed to slip upstatrs and slyly ab- stract Lysander’s new shaving set from the toilette table, where she had placed it for the convenience ot the new minister. It is undeniable that at the first receipt of the oe gener easy crernceet Scragg End. e older people were disposed to consider that a trick had been Played upon them, and were ety accordingly, some even going so far as Le wish ag Miss Barton told at her ser yicea coul dispensed with. But nobod; seemed willing to tell her, and there was z great curiosity to hear her preach. There were & few courageous spirits who openly avowed teat they saw po reason why # woman should not ‘and were giad to have one for minister. Many complained of Miss Barton’s —_ but acknowledged that they would not -have objected on that score to a young man of twenty-six or twenty-seven, which was her age. There were some who thought she was too handsome for a minister, and others who thought that since she was going to set herself up for everybody to look at, it was a pity tnat she wag not handsomer; some who thought women ought not to preach at afl, and others who thoi some women might be allowed to, but that Miss Barton was not of the right kind. It was tacitly agreed that she should be given a} hearing. but 8 woman minister as a stated sup- ply was not what was wanted. But intwo Sundays Mies Barton conquered Scragg End, except afew of the most prejudiced, wito would never own themselves conquered. She was so simple, 80 earnest, so sympathetic. There were no long words, no far-fetched analo- gies, such a8 Mr. Ericson used; there was no Tattiing of the dry bones of theology; she touched the chords that vibrated tn Sli! tone life. ‘ea tact,” “ She comes right home to you, said Joshua Riag. ‘She's Scriptooral, too, and she makes ag feelin’ a prayer as ever I heard. 1 don’t like to see a woman in the pulpit, and I ain't a coin’ to say I do, but she’s edifyin’, and no mistake.” * I never went to meetin’ before when I didn't have terrible hard work to ki from noddin’, but somehow her talk is kind of plain and sen- sible, and keeps me awake,” said Luke Pettin- gill, who was wont to disturb the congregation by audible breathing, People flocked to Scragg End from far and near to hear the new minister, at first with much the same curiosity that they would have shown to see a white elephant, but soon for the sake of the preaching. Nobody conld quite ex- plain Miss Barton's popularity. Perhaps old Mrs. Simmons came as near to the truth as any- body when she said ‘‘ehe wasn’t any smarter than anybody else, but someway she seemed just like own folks. And she knew just how folks felt without being told, Ponkapawket was scandalized. It was a dis- grace to the whole town to have a woman preacher holding forth every Sunday, and draw- ing such crowds—drawing half the congrega- tion away from the Ponkapawket church, too! The deacons requested Mr. Ericson to preach a sermon from the text, “Let your women keep silence in the churches.” Mr. Ericson was known to hold the Woman's Rights movement in contempt; but he had been twice to hear Miss Barton preach, when there were no services in his own church, and he had also called upon her several times, and when the deacons conferred with him about preaching that sermon they found it impossible to obtain any satistaction; he was very polite, and he did not say that he would not, but “he smiling put the question by.” “One day he surprised Miss Barton by Inviting her to an exchange of pulpits for the following Sunday; but that was in harvest time, and she had come to Scrazg End in June. Even Ponka- pawket had become accustomed to the idea of a ‘woman preacher, if it did not approve of it. He had found her sitting on the piazza ona warm afternoon in late September. She had a large basketful of stockings beside her, and was darning them diligently. Some were her'own, some were Adoniram Hewitt’s and Lysander’s, for Roxy had gone away on a visit, and Mra. Hewitt's hands were more than full. She looked as huusewifely as it she had never almed at any wider sphere. The shadow of a smile flickered about Mr. Ericson’s mouth as he observed her employment. Although Miss Barton looked up only as much as pole nee required, she saw the smile, and it brought a flush to her cheex. Thongh she looked so strong and resolute, it was evident that Miss Barton was keenly sensi- tive. He sat down beside her, and immediately proffered his request, perhaps as an Intidote to the smile. “Your people would be shocked. They don’t approve of me,” sald Miss Barton. ‘“‘And I shouldn't have the courage.” “I never suspected youot any want of cour- age,” said Mr. Ericson. “Tam a dreadful coward. I don’t think ‘I fully realized it when I began. If I had been sent anywhere but to Scragg End I don’t know what I should have done. Here they are hum- ble-minded people, without strong prejudices, and I do seem to have tound the way to their hearts. But I am afrald I should never dare to enter another pulpit—certainly not yours at Ponkapawket,” “You would soon conquer there as you have conquered here,” said Mr. Ericson. “I couldn't endure their unfriendly gaze. I stiould display all my womanisht should biush, I should tremble. [ mi: I should be a stumbling-biock to the women who are fol- lowing in the same pathway. I don’t mean to be that. My work in Scragg End sufiices me, and [am so thankful for it.” “Lam sorry you feel so abont Ponkapawket, because I havé a proposition in my mind much more audacious than the one that I made,” said Son. Miss Barton raised her eyes inquiringly, and dropped them again instantly under the minis- ter’s gaze. i “{ thought we might unite the churches.” Mr. Ericson’s voice trembled a little, as if he were afraid. “T don’t see how it could be done,” said Miss Barton, frigidly. “Of course there is but one way,” satd Mr. E1icson, quietly. “I dared not you to be! my wife without suggesting to you the fact that your work need not be given up.” The girl rose to her feet. Lysander’s stock- ing fell from her hand and was blown away by the wind unheeded. ‘I don’t know what I have done to deserye this—this insult. I thought that at least you respected me, and I thoucht my calling made me sacred from such— such attacks altogether.” “T am sorry that you should think it an insult. Tcan hardly see how a man could give you a better proof of his respect than to ask you to become his wife. And as for your calling making you sacred, we don't believe in the celibacy of the clergyyyou know.” In spite of his evident mortification and distress, there was a sly twinkle in Mr. Ericson's eye as he said that. “But I—T am a woman,” sald Miss Barton, sitting down again, aud covering her face with her hands. “The more reason why you should be mer- ried.” said Mr. Ericson, calmly. “You need a pretector.” “J am perfectly sufficient for myself. And I shall never care for any body—anything—but my work.” Mr. Ericson arose. “I am sorry to have trou- bled you,” he said, gently. “I love you, and I have never known what it was to love a woman before; that is all my excuse.” iss Barton watched him as he went down the road, with the yellow leaves falling upon him. She observed, as she had never done be- fore, how finely his head was set upon his broad shoulders, what a mauly grace there was about his strong, well-knit figure. he has no business to loye me,” x her brows into a tight trow Then suddenly she remembered Lysander's stocking, and went down in the grass to look for M she said, eter Se It had blown over the fence into the fi She stretched her arm between the slats and drew it back. As she did so she caught sight of Lysander. He was gathering squashes and pumpkins on the little south hill; she saw his figure in silhouette against the sky. He started to come toward the house, and she waited for him—waited until asudden thought sent a flame of color over her face, “It can't be—” she said, half aloud, inquir- ingly. “I will keep that ont of my life.’ I won't bee fallure! I won't be!” And she rushed up to her room and locked herself in. She came down as calm and graveas ever when the tea-bell rang, and after tea she and Lysander read their daily quantity of Greek, for Lysander was pursuit his studies with re- newed avidity since he a repeaion to help him, and had not yet given up his lonz-chenshed hope of studying for the ministry, though there econ Bal peonpeckot 38s betas ebleto leave ie farm. : After that day Miss Barton devoted herself more zealously than ever to her work. She darned no more stockings. When she was not writing her sermons, she was visiting the sick and the poor, and making, or and inducing others to make improvements, sanitary and moral, as well as religious. “She was as practical and eMfcient as if she was not 8 woman,” many people said; and old Jeremy Grimes, who had wished to tell her when she came ‘that they didn't want a woman preacher, said, “They couldn't have had such women in St. Paul's time, or ho neyer would have written what he did.” But Mrs. Hewitt had a grievance. Mies Barton didn’t seem to make herself one of the familly as she used to. She was shut up in her own Tools irtertost Sad eee erred and she and Ly- sander 't seem to getalong together as th used to.
