Anything for Peace.
'Stephen Thirsko, was a genuine
Yorkshire man, long-headed, shrewd
and sturdy?serving Mammon with
all his might in the great brick
the lory where he worked six hundred
'hands.' There everything went on
so promptly and regularly that it was
evident one dominant will ruled.
But no man is absolute; and if
Stephen ruled his six hundred'hands'
like an autocrat, he shrunk at home
into the obedient slave of one little,
pell<d woman. Mrs. Thiisko had
been a great beauty, delicate and
jjrnt'.e. Stephen had begun his mar
ried life by a tender submission to
the frailty what was such a contrast
to his own rude health, and now the
little woman he could carry like a
baby; ruled him like a czari.ta.
It was impossible to retrace tho
gl adual steps by which this iuflueutio
hud been gained. Thirsko was man
crouch to know that it was fata1 to
Iiis home-happiness ami his family's
welfare, and to make occasional de
terminations (o reform things; but us
yet they had come to nothing. Ho
could not bear his pretty Lydia's
tear:; and tho man who would not
tolerate the slightest opposition from
(he world, sacrificed anything and
everything in his home for peace.
They had two children, a son and
daughter?and as they reached man
hood and woman hood, the evils of a
household under such natural con
trol manifested themselves?for if
Mrs. Thirsko ruled her husband,
\ninny and Ada ruled her. Ada
was a beauty, and had not watched
ier mother's tactics in vain.
'1 shall rule George Aske, as
uoiher rules father,' she said one
night to her brother, in reply to his
assertion that 'Oeor-ife Aske would
make her know her own miild better.' i
'I m'h'i you be too sure of that Ada
?there are men, and inen. I know
tiit woman could manage mj that
way.'
' I low does Mary Mutton manage
you '! Antony, you nughi to be
isliaiued of yourself ! A poor go v er
ne s.'
'I am hot, though. Why .should 1
Mm have my way as well as you and
mother ? You are going to marry for
jiorilion; my wav is to marry the girl
I love.*
'Father will never consent, nor 1
either/
? '1 don't propose to ask your con
sent. I shall get'mother on my side,
and then father's got to yield. As
for you, Ada, I should not wonder if
your own affairs will very soon k:cp
your hands full enough.'
'It is not very brotherly to be look
ing fc?r trouble to keep your sister's
hands full.'
'You are prepai ihg it for yourself;
Ada; any one who is determine to
rule George Aske, by petting and
sulking. 1 saw his look the other
night.'
'Let him look?he yielded!'
'lie yielded then, but one hundred
to one he does not yield two weeks i
junger.' '
Keep your opinion, Antony, but
don't bother mother with Mary Mill
ion, until I am married. 1 don't
want her to be sick till my affairs aro
settled.'
'I am going to ask her to-night?if
you don't want to be sick, you had
belter say a good word for Mary.'
Ada was wise in her generation,
and went right to Mrs. Thirsko.
?.Mother,' she said, Antony is com
ing to speak to you to-night about
Mary Mutton. Don't worry yourself
? it is only one of his fancies. Just
promise, him all he wants until my
wedding is comfortably over, then
you can tell father rthd have ti stop
put to his nonsense.'
'O, dear me, Ada ! It docs seem as
if no one minded my feelings. You
both know I must have pence, and
yet I suppose I am to be worried into
a fever about this Miss Button.'
'Well, mother, don't make Antony
angry to-night; say enough to keep
things smooth until next week Hover.
I don't want him to be sulky at my j
wedding.'
.So Antony found his mother in
one of her gentlest muods. Sho
listened patiently to his confession of
love for his sister's late governess,
and answered :
'Have I not always wished lb make
you happy in your own way, Antony ?
If Miss Hutten is necessary to your
happiness, why, I will speak to father
about her after Ada's wedding. It
won't do before il, indeed it won't.'
Antony was very grateful. Love is
always hopeful, and he wc^*tKo see
Mary that night, quite confident in
his mother's final success. A few days
afterwards Ada was married to the
richest commoner in Airedale, and
the presumptive heir of Tow ton
j baioue.ley. Aske was deeply enamor
ed of her beauty, but by no means
the man to he its slave. Many things
riva'ed Ada iu her heart, even iu the '
earliest days of her married life; his
estate, hi.s hunters, county matters, |
and politics.
lie was an English gentleman of
the old order, an J had no very exal
ted ideas of women, except as tho mis
tresses of households and the
mothers of children. Ada's efforts
to establish a female autocracy in
Aske llall soon came to disastrous
failure. At first George 'pooh !
poo bed !' her orders and tried to
laugh away her petting and tears.
But he was not the man to put him
self out of the way for an unreason
able woman, and even this concession
was soon given up.
In three months it had come to a
simple announcement of his inten
tions, and a perfect indifference as to
how .>lie accepted them. Thus he
won hi say :
'Ada, I am going to meet the Tow
ton hounds in the morning?you had
better go with me?a gallop will do
I you good.'
Hut if Ada met the request with a
nagativc of any kind, he accepted it>
without demur?and if this produced
tears or complaints, he generally be
gan to whistle and left the room.
This 'rudeness' brc light on passion-i t c
I attacks of hysteria, and George went
j to the hunt, and sent .the family
physician to watch her through them.
\ cry soon poor Stephen had a
double burden of household trouble j
j to bear. Ada began to bring her
wrongs and humiliations home, and
Mrs, Thirsko warmly espoused her
cause. A complaining daughter and
a weeping wife were enough to make
the most splendid house miserable,
and they were but the elements out
of which far greater troubles were to
come.
In tho mean lime Antony's affairs
were equal I) unsatisfactory. Mrs. J
Thirsko had spoken to Stephen about
Mary llulton, ami for the first time
iu her married life admitted a failure.
Antony would not believe that she
had done her best, and he forgot iu
this one denial the ninety and-ninc
unreasonable favors she had before
pi ecu red him.
Stephen's opposition Id Miss Hut
ton was sulky and positive. He dar
ed not, in the first [dace, disobey his
wife's orders to forbid the match. In
the second, he was angry at I he
authors of ll is new element ?fdis
coin fort in his home. In the third,
he was not prepared financially to
support another household. Ada's
settlement bail been a great drain up
on his business; he had had other
losses, and another wedding and
house furnishing, with the increased
allowance necessary to maintain it,
was really beyond his present means.
Ho was quite sensible of this last,
reason, but he did not want to admit
it even to his wife and son, so ho sud
denly and authoritatively forbid
Antony to marry any one at present;
and for some months there was a
groiving feeling of anger between
father and 'son. Then one day, after
a sib 1 my interview, Antony left his
homo without a word of farewell, and
Stephen, too proud and angry to seek
after him, had to bear, in addition to
his own sorrow and disapoiiitment,
the mother's fretful reproaches and I
anxiety.
The very day on which Antony left
his home Ada returned to it. There
had been between her nnd Gcorgo
AsitG a wearisome succession of fierce
disputes, and at length, in a moment
intense passion, Georg? had struck
his wife. Mrs. Thirsko was dumb
before two such sorrows, and was
really ill, and .Stephen was danger
ously angry.
Askp suffered three days to pass
and then sc til lor Ada. Ada refused
to return, and Mrs. Thirskc suppor
ted her in the refusal. Jn a week
Aske's nicssages became so insolent
that Stephen was compelled to reply
to I hem, aud the poor lather, against
his sense of what was best lor his
child and himself, was forced into
supporting the refractory wife. In
tolerable words passed between the
husband ?ml falber, and when they
next met they instantly gave each
j other the Yorkshircmnn's warning?
ri word and a blow, and the blow
?rst.
After that it was open enmity, and
I Stcpcn was well aware that ho was iil
arincd to light so rich and so bitter
an enemy. Aske's revenge was a sub
tile one. He began within a week to
I build on the same stream as Stephen's1
j ti much lager mill. Stephen winced
at the coming coin petition but had
not at first any idea of Askc's real
motive. When the mill was finished
he f lochet}' the sti cam, and thus, as
his mill stood higher up than Steph
en's, deprived hint of the -water when
ever he felt disposed to do so.
?lie had no right to do this.' Of
cairse he had not. He knew that
very well, and quite anticipated the
lawsuit which would follow. But in
the meantime the Askc mill kept
Stephen's virtually idle, Asko was
making money enough to defray the
expenses of the -weary lawsuit which
'was'' fns'C*cvippTing'-'Stfcphcn in all of
his resources.
Kvery one knew that Stephen was
.l ight and at first ho found many sup
porlers. Hut it was A she's policy to
wear out Thirsko, and as month after
I month and year after year went on,
j and Stephen grew poorer and poorer,
I and more desperate and unreason
able, even his friends gladly seized the
j pretext of his imprudence to desert
him.
At the end of four years ho was
ruined nnd the presence of the man's
wife who had ruined hi.'ii, in his house,
was no peculiar comfort. One night
a strange longing for his son came
over him; he was in so much trouble
that he cculd not put away his anx
ieties oven lo soollie Lydia, and leav
ing her and Ada to lind what comfort
they could in each other, he went to
seek Mary 11tittoti.
She still lived in a quiet street of
Etna!! housed in the lower part of the
town, and when khc answered his re
nnest to speak to her, be was not as
tonished at Antony's love But it
angered him nevertheless; and though
it was always hard for Stephen to be
cross to a beautiful woman,be!suiila
sharply :
'Where is my son, lass?'
' I n iNcw York, sir.'
'What is he doing there ?'
'Making a home for mo and my
father, sir.'
' Write and hid him come to his own
father. You may loll him I'm a ruin
ed man?a ruined man, lass. You'll
make naught by marrying Antony
Thirsko now, Mary.'
'1 am very Sony for you, Mr.
Thirskc. You may believe nie or not;
and I will write and tell Antony what
you say.'
But before Antony could return,
tilings had como to a crisis with
Thirskc. lie had won bis case?and
been ruined in tho winning of it. He
was a complete bankrupt, and mill
and homo went under the sheriffs
hummer. There may be places where
'illreo failures and a lire make a man's
fortune,' but it is not in Yorkshire
Even tho personal property of the
unfortunate bankrupt was sold, and
Ihc ruined wore thankful to accopt in
the menntimo tlio? shelter of tho
governess's littlo homo.
Now, however, that Stopbon had
met the worst aud faced it, all his
pluck returned. He easily got li posi
tion in a friend's factory, aiid began
to slowly gather around him again
the comforts of a much humbler home.
A much happier one, though?for
these terrible changes had at length
reversed the unnatural order of things.
Wbeu Stephen was utterly bowed
down, suddenly Lydia Thirsko rose
up, and took her true and natural
position ns comforter and helpmate.
It almost consoled the weary husband
for all his losses to have found at last
his true wife.
Antony also had written loving and
hopeful loiters?and it was likely t' at
he would be able lo come for Mary
the next summer. They wei c all sor
ry now to think of parting w ith her,
for she had been so helpful and cheer
ful in these dark days, that it was
hard to imagine the cottage without
her.
Adversity has many learned di
ciplcs, and Ada h.nl not been to its
school without benefit. It was in.pos
sible for her not to reproach herself
with her father's ruin, and Ihough no
one else had done, it, the voice of so- i
ciety universally condemned her. She
remembered, too, that however re
vengeful nr.d hateful Aske had been,
she herself had done her best to call
forth those qualities?he had al first
tried to be very patient an I kind with
her.
One morning as she was sitting
sewing to some such bitter thought as
these, she lifted a paper and rca 1 this
paragraph :
'On Monday last, Aske, of Aske
j llall, while hunting with the Towtoh
hounds, was thrown, and it is feared
fatally injured.'
She sat still thinking a few niinu- j
te.?, and then, without a word to any
j one but Mary Hut ton, left the house.
Two hours afterwards she was iu
-ArkerHitH, holpiivg to-r?onthc-roviiTg:r
of i s delirious master. Calmly but
resolutely she to k her p'aeo, and i:i
the long dreary weeks of watching
and darkness that followed, learnt
many a wholesome! lesson;
Her great fear now was that the
injury to the brain was permanent,
and that her husband won! 1 never
know her long enough to pardon lier.
But one hii;ht. ns she stood looking
tenderly nt the pale, shrunken face,
ho slowly opened his eyes and said iu
a whisper:
'Ada !'
'Gcerge, dear George f and the kiss
that sealed her forgiveness was the
remarriage of their hearts and lives;
But Aske was many months a help
less invalid; and it was almost a year
afterwards that Ada was going gently
about the room, packing things tor a
journey with him to the .sunny skies
of Italy lie watched her some time,
and then said :
'Ada, I may never come back?1
feel very weak. I wonder if your
father would see me lie lore I go.'
The next morning Stephen Thirsko
stood by his enemy's side, and. his
eyes were full of tears.
'You are in belied changed George.'
'Yes, Thirske, you have won at last.
Let us shake hau ls. The mill we
fought about I have given to Ada,
and she gives it to you The papers
arc here?I want to see them signed.'
But, Aske?'
'Don't deny me this grace, Thirske
?if I have lo die, I shall die the eas
ier for it. If I iivd 16 come back, I
want to come back among friends. It
is your own. No blessing has conic
to me since I built it.'
So when Antony came to Mary he
did not go back again, lie joined
his father in the Aske Mill, and in
ten years the linn of 'Thirske & Son'
were the leading manufacturers of
Airedale again*.
Thero are evils that, happen for
good. Stephen and Ada found iu
poverty and anxiety the true relation
of man and wife. Stephen never
again sohl, 'Anything lor peace'?
and Ada learnt that it is better to
win a husband than conquer him?
better to rule with him than to rule
over him.
If you can't be a light house, says
Mr. Moody, 'bo a candle.' Plenty of
lie girls would rather be ball a match.
Lovo in Humble Lifo.
In Eust Boston, a few woos since,
was horny to the grave, a maiden wife
id'not less than twenty years of age.
Her husband and lover, a young man
of twenty-three, was a mechanic.
They had loved each other from
childhood, and were to have been
married some six or seven month.-)
since, when she was prostrated by
consumption. Nearly all his leisure
(rout labor was passed at her bedside,
cheering her with prospects of restor
ed health ami a life of happiness; but
tho fell disease was too firmly im
planted in her system to leave any
hope of her recovery. When tho
physicians informed her that dc.ith
was inevitable, she expressed a desire
to partake of the .Sacrament of tho
Lord's Slipper, and her wish was
gratified. Her lover procured a car
riage, sat by her side, and bore her in
his arms to and from the Lord's table.
She. returned to her bed never again
to leave it in life. About a fortnight
before her death, she said that sho
had only one earthly wish ungrati
fied; she desired to he united to him
who had loved her so long, and so
truly, in the hope of being his in
heaven. He could deny her nothing
? he married death. Bolstered up by
pillows, ami supported by the embrace
of her mother, she was united to her
lover; her feeble voice was hardly
audible in responding to the questions
of the marriage ceremony. Sho was
his. ami said she could die without re
gret. From then unil she passed
away, she w s unable to speak above
a whisper; but she appeared happy,
and though wasted to skin and bone,
a pleasant smile left its impress on her
face as her soul returned to God wdio
gave it.
^ Many cases have becu recorded of
people being married on the brink of
the grave, to accomplish some mater
ial ( iii:?stu b as to give a legal titlo
to property, or to render an act of
long delayed justice; but rarely or
never have WC heard of poor peoplo
marrying under such circumstances,
purely for love. The stern realities of
life press so hardly upon the laboring
poor, that the finer feelings of their
souls have to make way for the cares
and toil of provi ling for the wants of
the body.
The only legacy which this affec
tionate maiden left her husband was a
lock of her hair, and a favorite copy
of the Bible.
