Blue Bells ; or th* Bootblack's Story. j 'Z BY SHS X. ORRECL. One fine morning as I was leisurely walking down Main street, with so par? ticular object in view, wy attention was attracted to a little bootblack. Some ?ene ta passing had dropped,or careless Iv Corowa away a small bunch pf bine ?bells. My attention was first attracted to the little fellow by bis stooping to plick them ap, bat what was my \ amusement te see him tenderly kiss them and the? oarefal?y fasten them in the bittea hale of bis faded jackeL J?y cariosity was aroased, I ?ade sc * my mind to qui* the boy, so I walked np to him and asked him for a shine. I ' looked at the boy carefully, be was very small and very poorly dressed, be was ' pale and rain, and the targe blue eyes booked as if they were fofl of unshed ? tears. i * .Hal&a-dime,' he said, wfcea ne bad mat.a fine poKsk ea my shoes. 1 took oat a quarter, and said,' as I . fcakneed it ea my forefinger. 'Here is ?ten coats for the shine and fifteen cents ; ibr the Sewers,' pointing to the Mae ; %eUsiu hts buttonhole. He put bis small hand over the flow- ; ?ers^uickly and gave a quick gasp. ^^oA.sxr?; I can't sell the?, if I was ?starving I wouldn't sell a blue bell.'' I Jl?hd\\why ?ot? my little maa V I "y^fie looked at me so. piteously that ? ; omaaiajaa^^^^l had asked him. I ?bis head and ^^^^B ^^^j^r y0U fiet>? not tell meoB W- . J?>-?*fr? keep the qaarter^^MK* He looked up at me a moment and theo said? *\|Sy^few| aodif yoaeare tollsten .Of coarse I am saxtons to hear why 50a love the blae bells.' *l witt eommeaee at the first and tell itali to yee, bot first let as go down there and sit down,' pointing to some ?dry goods boxes not far from where we stood. We went and after seating ourselves ea a small box behind some larger ones, ^where we would not be observed, be toot the blue bell booqoetaad holding it eaferollyTa hts hand begaa'-byrsayiBg : ...4 ft is- j cst a year this mooth, aud it has been such a bog year I thought the ?lue bells never would come,' and then he stopped aod pat his hands over his eyes as if trying to shot oat some horrid sight ; I dil not interrapt IA* reverie. Presently ije took down his hand, and .aid abruptly: 'My father was a drunkard. We -once owned some fine property, F ve . beard mother say. but that was before I was horn, for we have always been poor as mr back as I caa remember. Mother says that father drank up the farm, the oxeo, horses, sheep, cows, hogs, forni? care and everything else. We got so poor that mother had to go out and wash by the day to get food, for Bess and me to eat. We lived in a little log bouse a quarter of a mile from any one ; it was shoat half a .mile to town. Mother used to walk to town every day, j except Saturday to wash for somebody, j On Saturday she washed for ourselves j and ironed 00 Sunday.' Sunday ts the Lord's day, your mother certainly didn't work on the Sabbath f * Yes, sir, she bad to. Mother said ? the Lord made six days for the saloon? keeper and one for himself, but he for? got to make a day for the drunkard's wife. She said the saloon-keepers bad confiscated the Lord's day, bot she hop? ed the Lord would remember ber cir? cumstances and forgive her for working on. the Sabbath. She said if there were no saloons she would not have to work on Sunday* There were just four of ns, father, mother, Baby Bess and Wil lie, that is me/ .So your name is Willie is it? but go on with your story.' .Well, as I said, mother was away all day, and sometimes she would not get home until after dark ; she was not very strong, and sometimes she had awful big washings, and sometimes we didn't have mach to eat, because the ladies mother washed for didn't have the right change or they would forget to ask their husbands for it. Mother always hated to ask for money after she earned it, she said it did seem as if they ou ??ht to know that she needed the j tnooey or she would not wash for it, aod j lt generally happened that when one | didn't have the change none of them ! did, so sometimes we got awful hungry while we were waiting for folks to pay os.* .Why didn't your mother ask for her money, it was hers after she earned it "/' .She was afraid to, for sometimes they woold get mad and say she didn't half wash their eiofhes, and then they j woold hunt up a new wa?h woman. It j was one of those weeks when nobody I had any change, it was Friday morning, ! we bad very little to eat on Thursday j and on Friday morning there was only ! a pint of corn meal and about two ! spoonfuls of molasses. Mother baked ? the meal into bread, and told me to ' feed baby when she woke, and to keep a sharp lookout for father ; he was in town on a big spree, be was awful cross j when bc was drinking, it was not safe for him to get his bands on us, so we always hid when wc saw him soming, if J mother was not at home. Little Bes would nearly go into fits wheo she gav him coming home drunk. 'Don't le Bess cry if you can heip it, Willies am afraid t won't get home until afte dark to-night, Mrs. Gray always ha such large washings, but I will come a soon as I can, and I will bring hom* some provision s, for I must have somi money to-night or,we will starve,' Sh< kissed Baby Bess as'SOvl?yls^l?irthc thea kissed me at the door. 'Be. i good boy, Willie, and take care^of fitffc sister.' Bessie slept a loog time tba morning, and I passed the time ia sit ting by her aod in going to the door t< watch for father. When she wok< up she said the first thing, 'Baby is sc hungry, Willie get something. to I eat, but I said, 'get up Bessie and let m< dress you and then we will have break? fast.' I bad not eaten a mouthful noi had mother tasted r^ood^Defore^ea*in| home, and I was awful hungry myself. She got up, and t dressed, washed and combed her ; but when we sat down al t?T|?^?B?ste ?o^eHat^'.lroo? and then she ?jttst dropp^ *^ her"-'cu9y hea<f-ii^t down otf-^lhwf &6l? aSd dfM\?^Ob, W^TFanf sbyM of corn bread and molasses I can't eat it.

Mrs. fray's Tday fand imc?herisaiways late'when sh ef was fies' for ber.' 'Try to eat/1 said, and I put a spoonful of mo?asses^nlfer plate, and I she did try ; but she only swallowed a ? few mouthfuls,"and~ then "she left the I table. I ate a snialfpiece bf dry bread, I thought mayb? she would eat the mo? lasses, so t did not touch it. All day she kept saying she was hungry, but refused to eat what we had? It was a long day to both of us. Father had not come home ead it was nearly dark ; we were both sitting on the door step, Bessie laid her head against my arm and began to cry, Tm so. hungry, Wil? gie, mother stays so late to-night.' 'Don't cry, JBaby^ mother will soon. be home.' 'Of course she wtU,' exclaimed. George Anderson ; he lived a mile be yesd us, and as he spoke he tossed a bunch of blue bells into Bessie's lap. 'Oh, how pretty]' the exclaimed, while the tears dropped from her sweet blue eyes down on the pretty blue bells. *Come, Bessie/ I said,' 'let me fasten them among your curls.' She got up and stood on the door step with her face towards the house. I stood behead her and tied the blue bells, ta her golden curls. I had just fa s teaed the last one when some one jerked me off of the bot? tom step. lt was father ; he was draak, and I knew by his looks that he was almost eraxy with, drink- .He poshed me aside and stood between lit? tle Bessie and me. Bessie turned to run, but.he caught her and said, 'You have been crying ; : what did .Willie do . to you?' She was so white and scared that I thought sbe would faint. 'Wil? lie didn't do nothing,' she gasped out. Father let go her and grasped me ; he commenced to shake me awfoJL _*'Ypa rascal^phafc did ^njlfl^frSessie? Tell" ?^^^^^B^TS^iike the breath out of you.' He shook me so I eould not an? swer. Then little Bessie caught him by the arm, 'Please, father,, don't hurt Willie ;-1 was so hungry it made me cry.' He looked in at the table and saw the bread and molasses. 'You lit? tle white-faced liar,_you are not hun? gry ; look at that table, there is plenty to eat and good enough too, for., such a brat as you ;' and he shook her roughly. She began to cry and I tried to put .my arm around her, but my father,pushed me awayf: -;*If joo can't eat anything 1 '.will give you something to drink,' and he caught her op in Iiis arms and start? ed down the path that led to the pood where we gpt ,i?asii-w^er. jJt-"?was.jio! a frog hole, the water, was as clear as a lake, and it was surrounded by green grass and several large trees grew near the bank. It was a lovely place in summer and a glori?os place for skating in winter. It was only, a short distance from the house. Bessie hushed crying, but she looked so awful scared, I fol? lowed close behind* father. 'I'll give you something to drink," he exclaimed, when he reached , the edge of the . water, and he walked right into the water, and I followed, scarcely knowing what I was doing I was so frightened. He wadedin about knee deep, then lie took Bessie and putting her feet under one arm he put her little curly head down under the water, she threw up her little white hands and cried .eat, *Oh, Willie, take baby ?'.just as the.cnrly head went down, I waded around father and tried with ali my strength to raise her bead out of the water, but father held it down. I begged father to take her out, but he did not listen to me. She threw up her hands wildly, there was a gurgling sound, and'then ali was still. I begged father to take her out, ? prayed God to save Bessie's life, but ali in vain. God was far away and did not hoar my cry, at least it seemed so to me. It seemed hours to me. but at last father lifted up Bessie's white dripping face. I called her name frantically, j madly, wildly, bal her blue lips didn't i move ; she was dead. Father carried ber and laid her down on the green j grass. *I guess she won't be hungry i for awhile,' be said, as he laid her j down. I was so stunned that I neitln r I moved nor spoke, until I saw the blue | bells that I had twined in Bessie's bair floating out on the water. I could \ not bear to see them drift away ; it \ seemed as if it was dear little Bessie's | sweet dead face drifting away ; I could not bear the thought, so I waded out after them ; the water was deep, and on I went ; it was np to my arm pite, now over my shoulders, still the blue bell.-} were just beyond my reach, but I must have them; the water touched my cilia, another step and I caught them, and, j just as I did I beard mother cali : 'Willie! ob, Willie! where are you ?' j I looked for father ; he was scated on the ground by> Bessie. 'Willie! oh. Willie V came mother's voice again. I was out of the water now, but to weak I could scarcely stand. 'Bessie ! oh, Bessie!' I called back. 'Here mother, at the pond.' Father gave one mad leap into the water ; he plunged in face down. I was so terrified I did not know what to do. I heard mother coming. I trembled so I could not walk, so I crawled up to Bessie, and taking father's old straw hat put it over Bessie's dead face to keep mother from seeing it. In a moment she came in sight. Sbe saw I was dripping with water. 'Willie, Willie, what, is the matter?' I could not speak. She lifted the hat off of Bessie's face. She j stood for a moment as if turned to stone. 'Tell me bow it happened. Willie; tell me quick.' Then I found voice and told her everything. She heard me : through without a word, but when I had finished, shriek after shriek rent the air. She stood with clasped haods over Bessie, and shrieked such unearth? ly eries that soon the neighborhood flocked to the spot. Father had drown? ed himself; his body was taken from under the beautiful water and buried in the cemetery along side of Bessie. Mother was a raving maniac from the moment sue uttered (he first heart rend? ing cry ^v^rTi?er de baby Bess. I put the blue bells in a little box, and hung t&em around my neck, but after the funeral I lay in the hospital, sick for weeks with brain fever, but when I came to myself the box was still around my neck ; here it ts,' and- he drew from his bosom a small box, which, opon 'opening, revealed : a few withered leaves. 'They speak of sweet little baby Bes sie,-' he-said, as--be closed the box and slipped it back" ?nder his shirt bosom. Theo be looked me straight in the eye and said : /Please, Mister, don't eyer vote for whiskey, "lt ki j led father anddear Jit ?tle babj Bessie,7 my only sister, mod? it ? locked "mother ap in ? mad-boose. 'Please don't vote for run?.** And I, man that I was, drew the little bootblack down and kissed him, and said:~ .
