Nothing to Do.
UT HRS. MAB fi AB ET 3. PBXSTOH.
The following expressive effusion points
a tale for older boys than tho child of the
poetess' imagination. We commend its
moral to thood oppressed with that terrible
ennui of "Nothing te Do," simply because
they prefer to do nothing:
"I have shot my arrows, and spun ray top,
And handled my last new bah;
I trundled my hoop till I had to stop,
And I swung till I got a fall;
I tumbled my Dooks all ont of the shelves,
And hunted the pictures through;
I've flung them where they may sort them?
selves,
And now-I have nothing to do.
"The Tower of Babel I built of blooke
Came down with a crash to the floor;
liv train of cars ran over the rooks
I'll warrant they'll run no more;
I have raced with Grip till Tm oat of
breath;
Hy slate is broken in two.
So I can't draw monkeys! I'm tired to
death,
Because I hav? nothing to dc,
"The boys have gone to the pond to fish,
They bothered me, too, to go;
But for faa like that I hadn't a wish,
For I thinks it's mighty 'slow'
To sit ail day at the end of a rod,
For the sake of a minnow or two,
Or to land, at the farthest, an eel ou the
sod
Fd rather have nothing to dol
"Maria has gone to the woods for flowers,
And Lucy and Rose are away
After berries-I'm sure theyve been out
for hours.
I wonder what makes them stay;
Ned wanted to saddle Bninette for me,
But riding is nothing new;
'I was thinking you'd relish a canter.' said
he,
'Becauso you bad nothing to do.'
"I wish I was poor Jim Foster's son,
For ho seems so happy and gay,
When his wood is chopped anubis work all
done,
With his little half hour of play;
Ho neither has books, nor top, nor ball,
Yet he's singing the whole day through;
But then-he is never tired at all, *
Because bo has nothing to do."
MY MIDMOHT PERIL.
The night of the 17th of October
shall I ever forget its pitchy dark?
ness, the roar of the autumnal wind
through the lonely forest, and the
incessant down-pour of the rain? I
had heard of lonely wayfarers being
lost in the woods before; I had pitied
them; but now I fully realized the
vague terror, the undefined danger
which broods over the lost!
"This comes of short cuts," I mut?
tered petulently to myself, as I plod?
ded along, keeping close to the
trunks of the trees, to avoid tho deep
ravine through whioh I Could just
hear tho roar of the turbulent stream,
some forty or fifty feet below. My
blood ran cold os I thought what
might be the possible consequence ol
a mis-step or a move in the wrong
direotion. Why had I not been con?
tented to keep in the high rood?
"I should have reached the rail?
road station an hour ago, if I had
not foolishly imagined the wood
path would be more direct; now 1
have wandered off, nobody knowe
how many miles out of civilization,
and if I escape with a whole skin and
sound bones, I shall consider mysell
particularly lucky. Hold on-wot
that a light, or are my eyes playing
mo as false as did my common sense?
I stopped, holding on to the low,
resinous boughs of a hemlock, thal
grew on tho edge of the bank, for il
actually seemed os if the wind would
seize me bodily and hurl me dowe
the precipitous descent.
It was a light-thank Providence,
it was a light, and no i'jms fatuus oi
corpse-gleam to lure me on to de
structiou and death.
"Halloo-o-o-ol"
My voice rang through the woodi
like a clarion, strengthened by th?
energy of desperation; the light hesi
tated, oscillated back and forth, anc
finally stood still. I plunged on ware
through tangled vines, dense briars
and rocky banks, until gradually
nearing, I could perceive a bent figuri
wrapped in au old oil-cloth cape o:
cloak, carrying a lantern. As th*
dim light fell upon his face, I almos
recoiled. Would not solitude an(
tho woods be preferable to tho com
panionship of this withered, wrin
kled, hideous old man? But it wa
too late to recede now.
"What's wanting?" he snarled
with a peculiar motiou of the lips tba
seemed to leave his yellow stumps a]
bare.
"I am lost in the woods; can yo
direct me to R-station?"
"Yes; R-station is twelve mile
from here?"
"Twelve miles?"
I stood aghast.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me of any shelter
could obtain for the night?"
"No!"
"Where are you going?"
"To Drew's, down by tho map]
swamp."
"Is it a tuvern?"
"No."
"Would they t?ke rac for thc- nigh
I could pay them well."
His eyes gleamed; tho yello
stumps stood rovealed once moro.
"I guess so. 'Taint a tavern, b
folks do stop there once in a whilo
"Is it fur from here?"
"Not very; about half a mile."
"Then let us make haste and rea?
it. I am drenched to the skin."
We plodded on, my companii
* more than keeping pace with ir
though he must have been neai
seventy-five years of age, and be
with infirmity. Presently we h
the edge of the ravine, entering wi
seemed like trackless woods, a
?? ? ? ,'-<.....?:.' . . . ..? <*, y .
keeping straight on until the lights
of some habitation gleamed fitfully
through the wet foliage.
It was a ruinous old place, with
the windows all down to one side, as
if the foundation had Bottled, and tho
pillars of a rude porch nearly rotted
away; yet Aladdin's castle could
scarcely have looked pleasanter or
more welcome to me, way-worn and
weary as I was.
A woman answered my fellow-tra?
veler's knock-a woman apparently
about thirty-five years of age, with
1 reddish-brown hair, wound in thick
braids about her head, and curions,
half-shut eyes. My companion whis?
pered a word to her, and she turned
to me with smooth, voluble words of
welcome.
"She regretted the poverty of their
accommodations; but I was welcome
to them, such as they were."
"Where is Isaac?" demanded my
"Ho hos not come yet"
I sat down on a wooden bench be?
side the fire, with my valise close to
me, while the woman threw on fresh
logs, drew out a round pine table,
and prodnced broad, cold meat, and
a bottle of Borne spirituous compound.
I ate a few mouth-fulls of the bread,
but did not toneh the other articles.
"I should like to retire os soon as
possible," I said, for my weariness
was excessive.
..Certainly." The woman started
up with alacrity.
"Where aro you going to put him?"
asked my guide.
"Up chamber."
"Pat him in Isaac's room."
"No."
"It's the most comfortable."
"I tell you no!"
But here I interrupted the whis?
pered colloquy.
"I am not particular-I don't car?
where you lodgo me, only make
haste."
Tho woman's smooth apologie!
were profuse. "She only wished tc
make mo comfortable, and Isaac'i
room always leaked in wet spells.'
So I was conducted up a steep lad
der, that stood in the corner of th<
room, into an apartment ceiled wit!
sloping beams and ventilated by om
small window, where a cot bedstead
crowded oloso against the boan
partition, and a pine table, with em
or two chairs, formed the sole at
tempts at furniture.
The woman set the.light-an oi
lamp-on the table.
"Anything I can get for you, sir?'
"Nothing, I thank you."
"I hope you'll sleep well, sir. Whei
shall I call vou?" .
"At 4 o'clock in the morning, i
you please. I must walk over i
It-? station in time for the 7 o'clod
express."
She withdrew, leaving me alone ii
the gloomy little apartment. I sa
down sud looked around me with n
very agreeable sensation.
Wearied aa I had become, I felt n
inclination to sleep-in fact, seeme
as if I had never been moro wakefn
in my life. I walked up and dowi
the narrow room; I lay down on th
bed, trying to woo slumber by lister
ing to the.ceaseless drip, drip of th
rain upon the roof; but all in vair
my brain seemed preternatural!
active.
"I will sit down and write t
Berenice," I thought. "That wi
soothe my nerves, and quiet me, pei
haps."
I descended the ladder. The fit
still glowed redly on the stone b<
neath; my companion and the wc
mau sat beside it, talking in a lo
tone, and a third person sat at tb
table eating-a short, stout, villait
ous-looking man, in a red fiann*
shirt, and muddy trowsers.
I asked for writing materials,
bottle of ink, a stumpy pen, und
couple of sheets of soiled paper wei
brought ont of a little cup-board i
the chimney, and I returned to na
room to write to my wife.
"My Burling Berenice!"
I paused and laid down my pen i
I concluded the words, half smilii
to think what she would say cou!
she know of my strange quarters
she, my fair Italian flower, now r
gaining the lost roses under the bin
balmy sky of her native land. Swe
little Berenice! She, at least, w
spared the perils of this stormy mi
night!
Not until both sheets were covere
did I lay asido my pen and propa
for slumber. As I folded the papt
I happened to glance toward u
couch.
Was it the gleam of a human e
observing mo through tho cracks
the board partition, or was it but i
own fancy? Whatever it was, it sen
cold chill through the very tuarn
of my bones. I took my light
reconnoitre. There was a crack the
but only blank darkness boyond; >
I. could imve ?worn mat somcthi
had sparkled balefully at me.
I took up my watch-it was
o'clock. It was scarcely worth wL
for me to undress for three hou
sleep; I would lie dowu in i
clothes and snatch what sluinbe:
could. So placing my valise ol
to tho head of my bcd, and bal
cading tho lockless door with the t
chairs, I extinguished tho light i
laid down.
At first, I was very wakeful, 1
gradually a soft drowsiness seen
to steal over mc like a misty man
1 until, all of a sudden, some startl
j electric thrill coursed through all
veins, and I set np; excited and
trembling.
A luminous softness seemed to
glow and quiver through the room-'
no light of moon or star was eyer BO I
soft or penetrating-and bj tho li ttl o
window' I saw Berenice, my wife, ]
dressed in a floating garment of
white, with her long, golden hair
knotted back by a blue ribbon. Ap?
parently she was beckoning to me
with out-stretched hands, and eyes
f ull of wild, anxious tenderness.
