THE STRANGER ON THE SILL. 
nr T. BUCHANAN READ. 
Between the broad fields of wheat and «orn 
la the lovely home where I was boro; 
The peach tree lean* against the wall, 
And the woodbine wander* over all; 
There is (he shaded doorway etill— 
But a stranger's foot ha* crossed the sill. 
There Is the barn—and, as of yore, 
I can smell the hay from the open door, 
And see the busy swallows throDg, 
And hear the pewee's mournful song; 
But the stranger comes—0, painful proof— 
His sheaves arc piled to the heated roof. 
There is the orchard—the very trees 
That knew ray childhood so well to please, 
Where I watched the shadowy moments run, 
The life imbibed more of shade than sun; 
The swing from the hough still sweeps the air, 
But the stranger children are swinging there. 
It bubbles the shady spring below, 
With its bulrush brook where the hazels grow; 
'Twas there 1 found the calamus root, 
And watched the minnows poise and shoot, 
And heard the robin lave his wing— 
But the stranger's bucket is at the spring. 
0, ye, who dally cross the sill, 
Step lightly, for 1 love It still; 
And when you crown the old barn caves, 
Then.think what countless harvest sheaves 
Have punned within that scented door, 
To gladden eyes that are no more.

“SOME PEOPLE’S PROFESSIONS.” 
A STOEY OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND MINE. 
BY JENNY MARSH TAKKEU. 
[Concluded from page 1140, last number.] 
It was plain enough that Esther Fielding had 
been there that day. There was a fresh hoquet by 
Timmy’s bedside, a basket of fruit upon the supper 
table, and Mary's wan face was lit up with the 
smite Esther was sure to leave there, lie kissed 
the little group all around, Increasing the sick 
hoy’s happiness by the redjnicy apple, arid Mary’s 
by his words of encouragement and love. The 
Burgeon was coining on the morrow, with the 
sharp instruments which were to cot her baby’s 
tender flesh. Tier mother-heart failed her almost, 
when she thought about it It was hard to look 
beyond that dreaded to-morrow, to the time when 
her child would liless her for her courage. Esther 
had promised to bo witn tier, aud when Juu« 
told her he had obtained permission to be absent 
from the furnace that day, her burden was so 
mnch lightened, she found it in her power to talk 
cheerfully with him upon more pleasant topics. 
John, w ho was too poor to buy ft newspaper, 
might forever hftve remained In blissful ignorance 
of the itep] in the Post, pertaining to the charity 
bestowed upon them, had he not procured from a 
fellow-workman the issue of the proceeding day, 
which contained it. Jle hud.rocked the baby to 
sleep, and read a chapter to Timmy— the one the 
child loved heRt, and oftenest selected, the story 
of the River of Life, clear as crystal; the Throne 
of the Lamb; the Holy City, and the Light there¬ 
of,—listening with wrapt wonder to the little 
believer’s prattling of the glories Boon to be re¬ 
vealed to his longing vision, until the weary eye¬ 
lids closed in sleep, and a smile spread over the 
emaciated face, that told the holy beauty of his 
dreams. Then John sat down beside his wife, 
who was trying to make, of something old, some¬ 
thing new and pretty for her baby, and taking the 
Post from his pocket, asked if he should read 
aloud. She said no,—-her mind was too full of 
something else. 
An hour passed in silence, and then John spoke 
with a sharp decision that dispelled her sad 
revery. He had laid aside the paper, and was 
preparing to go out 
“I shall not be gone long," he said,—“not a 
half hour at the most” 
“ But it is late, dear,—and hark, how it rains. 
Why must you go?” 
“Because I must,” and without further expla¬ 
nation he shut the door behind him. For a mo¬ 
ment she thought him unkind, and was distressed 
with perplexity. But she had a more tangible 
sorrow to contend with during his absence, than 
any her imagination could conjure up. 
That same afternoon, the parlors ot MisR Cripps 
had been converted, rather unexpectedly to her, 
into a beehive of enthusiastic industry, known 
only to impromptu charitable gatherings. It was 
no unusual thing,—her house had long been the 
rendezvous of half tho Benevolent fiocieties in 
town,— the Committees met there,— Boards of 
Managers, and getters up of Fairs, Festivals, and 
subscriptions generally. There was an importu¬ 
nate demand for bedding at the Hospital,—a de¬ 
mand too importunate lor the zealous ladies, upon 
whose shoulders rested the responsibility of sus¬ 
taining the honor of the institution, to hear re¬ 
peated, so the call w as sent forth one day, and the 
ready forces assembled on the next to make com¬ 
fortables, sheets, and pillow-cases, at the house of 
Miss Dorcas Chiits. Tea was to he served up 
when tho mountain of work wiis completed, and a 
few favored masculines hud been invited to the 
select banquet—strictly those having ah interest in 
the Hospital, thereby including the self-sacrificing 
Dr. Grimsby. 
The ladies worked wonderfully,—their fingers 
kept pace with their tongues. A looker-on would 
have been able to distinguish only a ceaseless 
murmuring hum of voices, varied by an outburst 
of laughter from Borne bevy of girls,—an exclama¬ 
tion of triumph at the completion of un article,— 
a demand, in a key above the conversation tone, 
for scissors or thread,—or the loud, shrill voice of 
good old Mrs. Wilson, who, afflicted by deafness, 
tried in vain to be heard, by herself, at least 
Every comfortable, every sheet, snd every pillow¬ 
case, had a circle and topic of its own, aud the 
less extensive the article, the more compact the 
circle, and, therefore, the more interesting the 
conversation. 
“How worn out Miss Cripps is looking! Her 
years begin to tell on her now!” Baida faded 
spinster, from one coiner of a sheet. 
“ Yes, time will show his footprints, now matter 
how much we try to conceal them,” was the re¬ 
sponse from the opposite corner of said sheet, 
and Mary Roberts, the pretty speaker, looked 
mischievously at the foretop and the penciled 
eyebrows before her. 
“She will kill herself yet, lam afraid,” broke 
in a tender voice from the bottom of the hem. 
“ It is truly wonderful how she does so much. 
They say she has watched with that poor baby 
nearly every night for a fortnight” 
“Well, she ought Vo.” Miss Lank might have 
spoken softer. 
“Yon mean because she turned them into the 
street once, as she did, I suppose,” said Mary. 
“We must not judge her too harshly now. Per¬ 
haps she is trying to make amends for her severi¬ 
ty.” 
“It will take more than her fortuneto do that,” 
said the harsh voice again. “Thatboy Timmy is 
going to die before the winter is onk” 
“it will be a mercy if he does. Esther Field¬ 
ing says he is one of the greatest sufferers Bbc 
ever saw.” 
“ Esther Fielding ! what does she know about 
it? By-the-by, 1 wonder where she is this after¬ 
noon? She will happen in about tea time most 
likely.” The speaker exchanged significant 
glances with Mary, who replied in a whisper, 
load enough for the whole circle to overhear, 
“that Esther was perhaps remodeling the old 
silk, and that they must not be startled if it should 
appear in some new shape.” 
While this suggestive topic was being thor¬ 
oughly handled, somethinglike the following was 
passing between two heads, bent close together 
in the back parlor corner. 
“You don’t say so,—do you think she will get 
him?” 
“ 1 shouldn’t wonder. The two lonesome old 
bodies have watched each other long enough to 
be attracted.” 
“They do say he is looking out for a wife.” 
“ And we know she is looking for a husband.” 
“He is certainly interested in her. Husband 
says he talks about her like a boy-bean, and of 
the shame it iB she should throw away so much 
money unthanked.” 
" Her money will go in a different direction, 1 
prophecy, if he ever gets the control of it. They 
do say he is stingy, hut likes to make a display.” 
“They are alike there,”—the voice fell Into a 
whisper. “What do you think of the humble 
charity spoken of in yesterday’s paper?” 
•• 1 li ad illy thoughts. Pity her kindness to the 
Rodmans dates no further hack.” 
“ Have you spoken to her upon the subject? I 
suppose we are in politeness bound to extol her.” 
“ Of course. She said little or nothing when I 
mentioned it to her. She ‘hears her honors 
meekly,’ and she has had an excess of panegyrics 
this afternoon.” 
That was very true. Nearly every one of the 
guests had bestowed a flattering compliment; 
but none had been sufficiently in doubt to ques¬ 
tion her directly upon the subject, and her modes¬ 
ty,—we will not give her weakness a harsher 
name,—had forbidden her admitting to them, by 
a denial, that she could suppose any one would 
for a moment imagine her to he the lady spoken 
of in the Post. There were many charitable 
women in the city besides her. She could apply 
any of their compliments to some of her late 
charities. 
She found herself at last in a most distressing 
situation. Old Mrs. Wilson, the deaf lady before 
mentioned, knew nothing upon the subject except¬ 
ing what she had read in the paper, and her 
dissatisfaction at not knowing the particulars 
compelled her to raise her sharp voice high above 
all the rest, in direct inquiry of Miss Cbipps her¬ 
self. Every person in the room was an attentive 
auditor. 
“ You have been making more poor hearts very 
glad, lately, I see, Miss Ckipps. God will reward 
you for it. You never did a more blessed thing 
in all your life. Whose child is it? The paper 
was afraid of giving names.” 
Miss Cripps was too far removed to make her 
reply heard by the old lady, without an exercise 
of her elocutionary powers Bhe was, in her pres¬ 
ent excitement, wholly unable to accomplish. 
She signed to Mary Roberts to perform the task 
for her. 
Mrs. Wilson knew John Rodman very well, 
and all about his trouble with Miss Ckipps, and 
his name was the last one In creation she expected 
to hear. Her wonderment and surprise were too 
great for concealment, 
“John Rodman’s child is it?” continued the 
old lady, whom il' wishes could have annihilated 
would have instantly made a miraculous disap¬ 
pearance from Miss Cripps’ parlors. “1 know 
Mary Rodman very well, or used to in years 
gone by. I will go and sec her to-morrow. Miss 
Ckipps, shall I drive around here in the morning?” 
In so embarrassing a dilemma, what could the 
modest woninu do but uod assent, coloring deeply, 
and trembling violently, which perturbation was 
variously accounted for by her guests. Not a few 
decided it was owing to Dr. Grimsby’s entrance at 
that moment, accompanied by several gentlemen 
of equal distinction. 
“It grieves me to see you look so exhausted,” 
said the tender-hearted doctor, returning from the 
supper room with the hostess upon his arm. “Yon 
arc over-taxing yourself. With unbounded be¬ 
nevolence for others, you lack charity for your¬ 
self, My type of human perfection ever bus been 
a humble, self-sacrifioing woman, given to good 
works.” 
The poor maiden grew dizzy at this sudden 
approach to the awful precipice. 
“Let ua go into the library,” said she, with 
faintness and desperation. “ My bead aches terri¬ 
bly; I must have a few moment’s quiet” 
“ You surely do not think of watching with that 
poor child to night?” anxiously inquired her 
attendant, seating himself beside her upon the 
sofa, fanning her energetically. 
“I cannot tell—1 must do my duty—which ia 
not to consider my own wishes in the matter,” she 
replied with touching resignation. Bhe would 
have added more, but the discovery of a third 
person in the room caused her to utter a fright¬ 
ened cry, that made the devoted doctor start upon 
his feet to seize the intruder by the collar. 
“I am John Rodman,” spoke out the rough- 
looking fellow, who stood there holding hia 
slouched hat in his hand, and Btaring at Miss 
Ckipps rather defiantly. 
“Ah! ah I indeed!” affably smiled the doctor, 
bowing like a mandarin. “Excuse me—I was 
startled—so was Miss Cripps. Her nervous sys¬ 
tem is over taxed—nearly prostrated—a fact that 
must pain you as deeply as it can any one.” 
Miss Cripps gazed vacantly at her untimely 
visitor. Bhe was horrified to sec Mary Roberts 
and several others enter the library. John crossed 
the room and planted himself before her; taking 
his little worn wallet from his pocket and delibe¬ 
rately unclasping it before her, began, 
“Ido not want your money,” said he, distinctly 
“ I would not keep it if It were enough to make my 
boy a prince. Your avarice baa killed one of my 
children, and your vanity cannot bless the other.” 
Thereupon he emptied the little wallet of all it 
contained, and laid a roll of bills upon the lap of 
Miss Cripps. 
“What does he mean ?” gasped she, with ill- 
feigned amazement. “This is not my money, 
I know nothing ahout it—take him away—take 
him away”—and she appealed to the bravery of 
the doctor, who stood gazing first at one, then 
another of the actors of the farce, lost in a whirl¬ 
wind of mystery. 
Her importunities to be freed from the hate¬ 
ful presence of her visitor woe entirely uncalled 
for; for after disposing of the money in the way 
be did, John hastily left the room, and was clos¬ 
ing tho heavy door behind him, when a soft, 
familiar voice caused him to pause and turn back 
into the bail, where Esther Fielding stood pale 
with excitement and alarm; for true to predic¬ 
tion she had made her appearance just about tea 
time, dressed in the everlasting green silk. 
“Oh, Mr. Rojjman, what a mistake you have 
made! WTio deceived you? Here is the money 
again. Take it—I insist upon it—you are indebted 
to no one but me, excepting a half dollar from 
Miss Ckipps and a mite from Miss Kelly. 
Finally, JonN received the roll, minus one dollar, 
which Estii br was compelled to return to the giver, 
through Mellicknt, as Miss Cripps positively 
refused to sec Miss Fielding when she requested 
an interview with that estimable lady who had 
fainted and was under Duetor Gkiaisjiv’s care in 
the library. 
Mary Itouinirs carried the interesting story to 
the assembly in the parlor, and it was soon in 
brisk circulation. It was some time before old 
Mrs. Wilson could understand what everybody 
was whispering about, but when she was initiated 
into the mystery, her voice broke out in a dis¬ 
course tbai nothing could interrupt, “it was the 
way it always bad been, and always would be,” 
she said, “for people to think that nobody could 
be charitable unless they pave by hundreds, and 
had the deed proclaimed In the market place. 
For her part, she believed in not letting the left 
hand know what the right hand did. That was 
Esther FiEl.DlNG’8 way of giving to the poor 
(happily Esther had withdrawn,) and she didn’t 
suppose any one would have known a word of 
what she bad done for Mrs. Rodman’s poor little 
baby, any more than they did of what she gave 
away every day, if it had not happened to come 
out in the way it had. Rhe was glad of it Most 
of folks called Esther Fielding stingy and 
mean, because she did not carry her money on 
her back, or have her name put into the papers 
whenever she gave away a dollar. They little 
knew what an angel of mercy they were slander¬ 
ing when they said that. Rhe could tell of more 
than one poor family living upon Esther Field¬ 
ing's bounty, and of more than one wretched 
sufferer who looked to her hand for all their com¬ 
fort in this world. There were not many of them 
who would deny themselves not only luxuries, 
but necessaries, for the sake of God’s poor, and 
that without expectation of praise by the world.” 
In her warm enthusiasm she was proceeding 
directly to a still more animated discourse upon 
the annihilated Miss Cripps, who had excused 
herself for the evening, and no doubt she would 
have handled the subject with masterly skill, hut 
a whisper from one of the more discreet ladles 
brought her to consideration, and finally silence. 
“But 1 can’t help thinking,” added the old 
lady, bent upon a closing remark at least, “of 
what some people say about some people’s pro¬ 
fessions.” 
******** 
Miss Dorcas Cridps survived this stunning 
blow to her reputation, although her recovery 
would have been doubtful had she been deprived 
of the unremitting solace of the sulf-sacri doing 
Dr. Grimsby, who, notwithstanding the wintry 
skies frowning over her, with characteristic dis¬ 
interestedness, resigned himself to live with her 
beneath them, and now the weather-beaten sign 
of “Physician and Surgeon” creaks no longer 
over the window across the way, but upon the plate 
of the highly polished oak door of the old Criits 
mansion, the name of Grimsby is engraven. 
Some say the bride is happy, and some say she 
is not. Some say the dootor leads a wretched 
life, while others say he has plenty of spending 
money, and is enjoying himself as he never did 
before. Both profess to dwell in a world of 
bliss,—but then, you know, there is no trusting 
some people’s professions. 
Dr. Grimsuy has not been known to write a 
newspaper item since a brother surgeon led him 
to commit a most provoking blunder; but that 
relates to a secret he guards most sacredly from 
his wife, and we have not the heart to betray 
the poor man. 
Timmy Rodman’s Bufferings are over. He will 
never more nay “I am sick.” He lived long 
enough to sec his baby brother careering about 
the room on a pair of legs which promised to he 
straight and strong some day. 
John Rodman ia blest with prosperity, and, 
better than all, a heart which thanks the Giver of 
all good things. He can sincerely pray, “as we 
forgive”—yes, even when he kneels by the grave 
of his first born, and remembers what he prays 
God to forget. 
Esther Fielding is still walking alone in the 
old path. “Many shall rise up and call her 
blessed,”—yea, when the secrets of all hearts 
shall be revealed.
