(Danikl Wkbster said of the following poem, “This 
beautiful hvnm, * The Rock in the Wilderness," from the 
pen of General Moatug, contains the whole history of 
the landing of the Pilgrim", in sixteen lines. It is the 
best ever written, besides being the shortest: '] 
A rook in the wilderness welcomed onr sirqB 
From bondage fur over the dark rolling sea; 
On that holy altar they kindled the tires, 
Jehovah, which glow in our bosoms for Thee. 
Tby blessings descended in nousbine and shower, 
Or rose from tb« soil that was sown by Tby hand; 
The mountain and vs Hoy rejoiced in Thy power, 
And Heaven encircled and smiled on the land. 
The Pilgrims of old an example have given 
Of mild resignation, devotion, and love, 
Which beams like the star in the blue vault of heaven, 
A beacon light swung in the mansion above; 
In church and cathedral we kneel in our prayer — 
Tbelr temple and chapel were valley and hill— 
But God is the same in the aisle or the air, 
And He is the Rock that we leau upon still.

“SOME PEOPLE’S PROFESSIONS.” 
A STORY OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND MINE. 
BY JENNY MARSH PARKER. 
CHAPTER I. 
again in the morning. 
Raining again in the morning. It haB been 
drizzling, drizzling for more than a week. Miss 
Ckifps bad sighed when she dropped the curtains 
in the lonesome twilight the evening before, and 
wished, from the bottom of her desolate heart, 
that the sun would shine again on the morrow, so 
that somebody,— it mattered little who,—would 
drop in and cheer her up. There were fifty things | 
Bbe was dying to know, and thrice as many she 
was dying to communicate to an appreciating ear, 
but that any one would venture out in such dis¬ 
agreeable weather, merely to enliven the dreary 
existence of an old maid like her, she was too 
frank in her cogitations with herself to admit for 
a single moment. She languidly pushed away 
her breakfast tray, after dividing its contents be¬ 
tween her pet kitten and spaniel, and dropped in¬ 
to the high backed and faded chair before the 
little woik-table in the window niche. Daily she 
lamented the fickleness Of the wool with which 
she had embroidered that old easy chair. What 
wonder that w orsted roses and leaves should fade 
in a time that blights every one of the heart or 
cheek? But in spite of her mirror, and her stiff¬ 
ening joints, Miss Grip PS could with difficulty 
believe it was more than yesterday since she sat 
in that same east window, fair golden curls shad¬ 
ing her face, and half hiding her smiles and 
blushes from the earnest eyes that pretended to 
be watching the progress of her woik. Twenty- 
five years ago was only yesterday to her; and 
sitting there in the w indow niche, with the faded 
roses behind her, she was able to conjnre up 
sometimes as blissful dreams of to-morrow as 
when,-well, be had children and grandchild¬ 
ren now r ; had been married twice, and might be 
the third time,—but she had no thought or hope 
of him. 
It bid fair to be a most dismal day for lonely 
Miss Griffs. She smoothed her thin, silvery 
curls,—she could poorly afford but two,— and 
looked discontentedly out of the window. Dr. 
Grimsby'S blinds were jet tightly closed,— most 
likely, he had grown tired of the depressing ap¬ 
pearance of things, and would keep them closed 
all daj\ Wbo could blame him for this precau¬ 
tion against an increase of dejection and ennui ? 
“ Not 1,”—sbe mused sadly to herself;—“his is an 
unmated heart likewise,” Then she sighed, drew 
her work-table nearer to the light, and fumbled 
over the pile of unfinished articles despairingly. 
She was not long in selecting lier task,— it mat¬ 
tered little wbul her fiugers held when her mind 
was so pre-ocenpied. 
“ Mellicent! Mellicent!”— rather peevish it 
is true. “A slight, pale-faced girl, whose thought¬ 
ful eyes had grown red over her fine stitching, 
appeared at the door of the adjoining room. 
“ Did you call me, Miss Ciupps?” 
“ Yes, twice. Draw up this curtain, Mellicent, 
There, that will do. This shade of blue is very 
trying to my eyesight,”—then she quickly added, 
as if to rectify an unfortunate admission,—“It is 
trying to everybody’s eyes, you know. It always 
was to mine.” 
“Let me work that pait of the pattern for 
yon,” said Meliacent. “ My eyes arc young, y ou 
know.” 
Miss Cripps flushed with subdued indignation. 
“ 1 thank you, Mellicent, but this requires the 
most perfect skill I would not trust it to any 
fingers or eyesight but my own. It will be the 
handsomest piece of embroidery at the fair, and 
must bring a pretty profit,” 
“Do you think you will find a purchaser, easily? 
It is very handsome, bat seems of little nse.” 
“I find ample room for conjecturing as to wbo 
will be charitably disposed enough to pay the 
price we shall set upon this cushion. Sit down 
here, Mellicent, with your work. Your window 
must be dark to-day, and this weather is depress¬ 
ing to the lightest hearts.” 
Perhaps Mellicent was weighing this last re¬ 
mark as she eat by her mistress' side, keeping 
silence. It sounded much like an excuse for the 
gracious inviiation. Mellicent let it pass, and 
breaking up the blissful reveries that kept her 
heart cheery, took pity upon the old maid’s loneli¬ 
ness, and sat down beside her with as contented 
a face as if she loved the society of Alisa Cripps 
as well as that of any body in the world. 
“ l have thought,” said Miss Cripps, feeling un¬ 
usually communicative toward her poor sewing 
girl “that, perhaps Airs. Gen. Wells will be the 
purchaser. Bhe professes to have the object of 
the Society close at heart, and has expressed a 
desire to aid us; but then some people’s profes¬ 
sions are not to be relied upon, you know. Never 
mind those shins to-day, Mellicent, — I did not 
promise to make the donation before next month. 
Finish those ragged-school hoods; I am tired of 
the sight of them. Ah, me! what a dismal day !” 
Iler work fell'from her hands, and her eyes wan¬ 
dered with listless despondency out of the win¬ 
dow,—and over the way. 
A little start, followed by a subdued exclama¬ 
tion of surprise,— perhaps of joy. The doctor's 
blinds were open, and the doctor himself—smok¬ 
ing cap, dressing gown, and meerchaum,— tube 
seen in the office window. Jlc appeared as re¬ 
signed to rainy days and loneliness as any old 
bachelor could be. There was a renewed smooth¬ 
ing of the thin Bilvery curls, and a sweet, placid 
smile was beginning to dawn upon the face of 
Alias Ckjith, when the stopping of a carriage be¬ 
fore the doctor's door, and the alighting of a fairy 
little figure, draped in the deepest mourning, 
drove the clouds back again darker than before. 
“Look. Mellicent, look! Ib not that Airs. 
Ludlow?” 
“ Yes, I think it is,—but ara not positive.” 
“I am positive it is,”—and Miss Cripps ap¬ 
peared as if she had made her final decision upon 
a thousand matters of serious importance.— 
“What could send her to doctor Grimsby's on 
such a morning as this? How impatiently she 
rings the bell I should want a good excuse for 
calling there ou such a day. Secrets will out,”— 
her bitter tone did not conceal her own secret 
too carefully. “ No woman ever possessed a 
greater love for her husband than she did. He 
has been dead six months,—not more,—but some 
people's professions, Mellicent, are not always 
to be relied upoD. There are no less than three 
physicians occupying the very block she lives 
in,—” 
“ But Dr. Grimsby has practiced in their family 
a long time. 1 do not think sbe could be pre¬ 
vailed upon to employ anybody else.” 
“I don't doubt that,” replied Miss Criits, 
significantly, and fell into a sombre silence that 
lasted until Mis. Ludlow's carriage disappeared. 
Her embroidery progressed hut slowly. She 
yearned most of all to let somebody into her deso¬ 
late, empty heart, that dreary morning, and was 
sorely tempted to give Mellicent the key. 
“Did Mr. and Mrs. Ludlow live happily to¬ 
gether?” asked Alias Cripps, recalling Mei.li- 
cknt'k wandering thoughts to the subject her own 
had fed upon for more limn an hour. 
Mei.lioknt’S brief reply still left room for more 
speculation. Bhe had lived with Airs. Ludlow 
but a short time, and during Mr. Ludlow’b ab¬ 
sence from home, but she had no reason to sup¬ 
pose they were not the most amicable couple in 
the world. 
“They might have seemed so; appearances are 
very deceitful you know, Mellicent.” Miss 
Ciunrs gave a sad smile. “ 1 did not ask from 
curiosity, merely. I know but little or Mrs. Lud¬ 
low, —our spheres have, been so different from 
each other. I early felt it my duty,—my Christian 
duly—to resign my enviable position in gay, 
fashionable society, and devote myself to the 
mission of Christ's followers here below. I ex¬ 
pend nearly the whole of my income in charitable 
and religions objects,—I have nothing to lavish 
upon myself,—I have speut little in that direction, 
as ray wardrobe and old fashioned furniture 
loudly testify. While Mrs. Ludlow’s gaieties 
have been the talk of the whole town, I have 
reaped more lasting rewards in a far humbler 
way. Her ambition has led her where my Christ¬ 
ian profession forbade my following,— not my 
means, for they are more ample than hers. She 
is a member of our Churcb, jet I know but little 
of her,—our spheres have been so foreign to each 
other.” 
Mellicent was inwardly amused by this display 
of self-complaconce, but she replied nothing 
further than that who bad heard Mrs. Ludlow 
spoken of as a benevolent woman. 
“ Ab, that may be,—1 would not deny her giving 
away a dollar know and then. 1 have even known 
her to go out among the sick and needy,—but 
there is a great difference, AIelucknt,” —Miss 
Cripps’ tone was impressive,—“ between dedicat¬ 
ing one’s whole fortune to the Lord, and giving 
the leavings after our worldly desires have been 
surfeited.” 
AIri.lioknt meekly assented to the indisputable 
fact, aud then sewed on in silence. Her mistress 
had fallen into a revery,—her hands idle upon her 
work,—her silvery head resting upon the faded 
wreath, and her eyes intently fixed upon the som¬ 
bre old house over the way. Mellicent gave her 
a sly glance occasionally, and saw by the pleasant 
light that dawned faintly at first upon the bar- 
rassed face, and gradually increased to full sun 
shine, that the old maid was living blissful fancies 
—was growing young again. A half hour ticked 
quickly away, and neither mistress nor servant re¬ 
sumed the conversation. The rain was still fall¬ 
ing, aud there was not a sign of a “ blue break ” 
over head. 
When Miss Cripps did speak, her changed voice 
startled Mellicent. There was a clear, merry 
ring in it, she never heard before. 
“And what if does cost a trifle,—two thousand 
dollars, or more? The work shall be begun to¬ 
morrow, and promptly executed.” 
Mellicent looked up with wonderment. Miss 
Cripps was wailing for her reply. 
“I do not understand you, madam. Are you 
contemplating some new charity?” 
The reply was au abrupt one. “Yes, a charity 
to myself, and my neighbors. I am going to fit up 
this old house, so that it shall look less like the 
ogre of the row. That broken cornice, and those 
old-fashioned dormar windows, the faded blinds 
and cracked door-steps, shall pass away at last, 
and Dr, Grimsby, who must often catch his mood 
from the appearance of this old house, shall have 
something more cheerful to look at I will sec an 
architect to-morrow,—I would find oae to-day, if 
the rain would cease.” 
“This house can be made to look very hand¬ 
some,” said Mellicent, “bnt I have a preference 
for old-fashioned houses; and if it was mine, 
should like it best as it is.” 
“Your taste la as quaint as it is simple, Melli 
cent. 1 would have my house more attractive 
from the outside; its gloom is enough to repel 
any one now. But to make these improvemeuts 
I must, retrench in my present expenses, or go 
beyond my yearly income, which I am determined 
never to do. Let me see. Put down your work, 
Mklucent, and listen to me. 
“Heretofore, more tbau half of my income has 
been given away—yes, given away to charitable 
and ri-ligioiiB objects, and that not grudgingly 
I can truly say that I have been a cheerful giver. 
For the last Urn years I have given to the Augus¬ 
tine Orphan Asjlarn fifty dollars per year.” Miss 
Cripps began couuting her charities upon her 
fingers. “It will not do to withdraw that at 
present. 1 should render myself exceedingly on 
popular, the funds of the Boclety are so low—and, 
besides, I am told that the young poet. Hemp 
stead, has been engaged to write an ode for onr 
next anniversary, to be dedicated to me as the 
chief benefactress. Fifty dollars a year to the 
Ragged School. I renewed my subscription only 
last week,—dear me. One hundred dollars to the 
-Hospital. Instead of withdrawing that I feel 
it my stern duty to increase it, for Dr, Grimsby 
tells me,— he is the pbysioan to the Institution,— 
that he shall never withdraw his arduous and un¬ 
requited services while so many self-sacrificing 
woman help to bear the burden with him. One 
hundred a year to the St George Tract Dlstrlhu 
ting Society. The donation has been talked of so 
loudly I have not the face to withhold it next 
year. Aline iB the largest subscription on the list. 
Airs. Gen. Lank only gives fifty.” 
And thus she went on through the lengthy cat¬ 
alogue of her charities, manifesting not a slight, 
amount of gratification whenever sbe discovered 
a chance for retrenchment. She must not with 
hold a dollar, she said, if her reputation wore to 
be injured thereby. She will not withhold a 
dime, Mellicent thought to herself, if thereby a 
trumpet of laudation shall be hushed. 
“I think I can see plainly, now, what I must 
do”—said Aliss Cripps, after a long silence, iu 
which «hc had counted aud recounted her fingers 
a multitude of times, “I must retrench iu mj’ 
minor charities. I shall receive some criticism, 
no doubt, but, then it will not begin to cause the 
talk the withdrawal of a heavy donation would 
I shall thereby give a chance to some of the many 
who abound rather in words that deeds, to exer¬ 
cise their benevolence, I doubt if Mrs. Monro, 
who pi idea herself upon being one of the foundcis 
of our Bagged School, would deny herself a single 
addition to her wardrobe for the sake of supply¬ 
ing my donation if I should withdraw it. Airs. 
Monro, like too many of us, professes a great 
deal,” and Miss Cripps sighed because the deceit- 
fulness of the human race in general and Mrs. 
AIonko in particular. 
“ Oh, how I wish I were able to give so much to 
the poor,” said Mklucent, whose thoughts had 
progressed far beyond those of the mistress, 
“1 wish you weio,” was the chilling rejoinder. 
“Every Society 1 am assisting is still calling for 
more aid. I doubt if it is right for me to forget 
entirely my own happiness; in fact, I do not feel 
called upon to sacrifice my own tastes so largely 
in the future. This turning about will he a diffi¬ 
cult matter, but the obstacles shall and must be 
overcome.” A thoughtful pause, in which the 
fingers wore recounted. “ Somebody else must 
pay Airs. Simpson’s lent. I think it is time I was 
relieved of the burden of that family. I have 
never yet received any great show of gratitude, 
for all I have done. They do not belong to our 
church, and what are our alms houses for if not 
for just such cases as this?” 
“That French boy was here again last even¬ 
ing,” said Mellicent. “ He says bis mother has 
not yet succeeded in obtaining any woik, and that 
his father is unable to go out,” 
“The father is a worthless inebriate, most 
likely, and it is hardly probable the mother has 
looked very far for employment,” replied Alms 
Cripps, coldly. “1 shall have noLhicg to do with 
that family any longer, — my suspicions are 
awakened regarding them. I am glad I W 38 not 
at home, or I might thoughtlessly have given him 
encouragement to call upon me for assistance 
hereafter.” 
Mellicent turned her head lest her mistress 
should see the tears that were filling upon her 
work. It was foreign to her nature to tell how 
gladly she had slipped a dime into the poor boj’s 
shivering hand,— and a dime was a great deal to 
the meagcrly paid seamstress,— or how, after her 
weary day’s work, she had gone out in the rain 
and sought the French emigrant family, cheering 
up the heait-broken mother, who had been seacb- 
iDg in vain for her besotted husband. But lor 
Mellicent’s dime the forsaken wife and child 
would have gone to their pallets without having 
tasted a morsel that day,—bnt Mellicent had no 
reason for telling this to her mistress. She re¬ 
pressed a sigh when Alisa Cim-rs resumed, 
“ As long as such worthless creatures have a 
generous purse to rely upon, they make no exer¬ 
tion to help themselves. Of course the father 
will drink as long as I assist him to his drams,— 
and as for the mother, work is not so scarce as 
she represents it to be. I shall squander nothing 
more in that direction. Bring me my account 
book, ALellicent.” 
For more than an hour Mis3 Cripps knit her 
forehead with making close calculations, and add¬ 
ing up infinite columns of visionary expenses for 
architects, carpenters, masons, glaziers, uphols¬ 
ters, etc., etc. Bbe was too absorbed to know 
that the sunshine was shooting through the 
windows, making AIkllicknt’s face to light up 
with as btaveuly a smile as that upon the sweet 
picture of Charity hanging over the mantel 
Miss Cripps finally stopped her figuring, and 
closing the book, pushed it from her with an air 
of satisfaction. •* Yes, I con do it. 1 calculate 
closely, Mellicent. I hav^ been trained in a 
good school I believe it a sin for me to pirt 
thoughtlessly with a single farthing the Lord has 
placed in my hands. Ah! there is Dr. Grimsby! 
How pleasantly he bowed! It was the merest 
accident I saw him. He seems deeply interested 
in the Gazette this rooming. Go and bring me 
the morning paper, AIkllicknt. Strange I should 
have forgotten it.” 
“ vvbat a noble hearted man!” exclaimed Miss 
Cripps, from behind the Gazette* “Have yon 
beard of it, Mklucent? I must encourage that 
enterprise,—indeed I must!” 
“ Heard of what. Miss Cripps?” 
“Why, Dr. Grimsby, wbo is not a military man, 
—and this is, therefore, but another instance of 
bis disinterested generosity,—has succeeded in 
Betting on foota grand Aillitary Ball, to be given 
in honor of the Thirty-third. The proceeds are 
to purchase a splendid banner for the corps, to 
beembroidcred at the Oonventof 81 Anne, where, 
yon know, such work is executed beyond any¬ 
thing to be found anywhere else. The banner is 
to be accompanied by a splendid new uniform for 
their brave veteran commander, Gen. Briogs. 
The ball conn s off a week from to-night Yes, I 
must go,—my father was a military man, an inii- 
mate friend of the General, and that considera¬ 
tion should move me, even if I were not inclined 
to show my approval of Dr. Grimsby's undertak¬ 
ing.” 
The decision being made, her thoughts natur¬ 
ally turned to her wardrobe, which, owing to the 
routine of her late unfashionable years, held little 
in readiness for a grand Aliliiary BalL 
“I suppose I must have anew silk,—the brocade 
I wore at the Hospital Festival is altogether too 
sombre; it adds, rather than takes the years from 
my face, and that Is unnecessary.” She laughed 
out merrily upon the serious topic. “Something 
heavy and rich. New laces will be indispensable. 
What do yon think Mklucent?” 
“Oh, yes,—a little will do that,” replied AIkl- 
lioknt, duly regarding the newly made resolution 
of retrenchment. 
“ I wish a little could do it my child,”—most 
placid was Miss Cripp’s resignation,— “but a 
proper out lit, fur this occasion will cost more 
than the nutnUifiTed dream of. We will go around 
to Dkmarest's this afternoon arid see the new 
styles. 1 would give the world to know what Miss 
Blond will come, out in- 1 will not he a whit be¬ 
hind her if I ran help It; I never have been in 
anything, and sbe is always trying to outstrip me. 
The secret is, her hushaod was a beau of mint— 
and she canuot forget—hut we will let that go. 
Don’t ever repeat it, Mellicent.” 
Mkluoknt promised as readily as she had a 
dozen times before, when the same secret had 
been imparted to her by her mistress.
