Mr. Canute’s patience was sorely taxed by questions the town where his friend, in some anxiety, awaited 
at all hours; he was waylaid first by one, then by an- his re-appearance. 
I other, on his way from his own cottage to the Hall, 
but with unfailing good nature and promptitnde he 
invariably satisfied the aflectinate solicitude of his 
humble neighbors—in his own quaint way, certainly 
— never wasting words, yet perfectly understood. 
The summer-tide was waning into autumn, and tbe 
Bquire of Ambermead faded more gradually than 
autumn leaves, when late one evening a wayfarer 
stopped at Mr. Canute's cottage, which was on the 
roadside, and requested permission to rest, asking 
for a draught of water from the well before the 
porch. 
“Most welcome,” said Two Words, scanning the 
stranger, and pleased with his appearance, for youth 
and an agreeable countenance are sure passports; 
perhaps, too, Mr. Canute discerned gentle breeding 
During all his after life that young man never 
forgot the solitary night walk when he lost his way 
beneath a beautiful spangled summer sky; the stars 
Beemed to form the letters, "And then?” the soft 
night breeze seemed to whisper in his ear, “And , 
then ?” 
It is true, he had not gained the intelligence he 
sought respecting the inmates of Ambermead Hall; 
but he had laid bare his own folly for the inspection 
of Mr. Canute; and in return he had listened to no 
reproof—no tiresome lecture vouchsafed from prosy 
age to ardent youth, but simply two words had pene¬ 
trated his heart and set him a thinking seriously. 
Mystic little words: " And then?” 
For nearly three years after Mr. Harwell's decease, 
tbe old Hall, contrary to general anticipation, re¬ 
in his guest, despite travel-stained habiliments, and a gained untenanted, save by domestics left in charge, 
AND THEN? 
Tnx oracle of the beautiful sequestered little 
hamlet of Ambermead was an old gentleman of 
unobtrusive and orderly habits, whose peculiar taci¬ 
turnity had obtained for him the familiar cognomen 
of Two Words. Mr. Canute, alios Two Words, 
dwelt on the outskirts of the village, tended by an 
ancient housekeeper, almost as chary of speech as 
her worthy master, it was surmised that Mr. Canute 
had seen better days; for though his raeanB were 
straitened, his heart was large, and hia counte¬ 
nance expressed great benevolence. Notwithstanding 
the brief mode of speech which characterized him 
on all occasions, the advice of Mr. Canute was 
eagerly sought o« «v«ry autijoot wherein tt was pre¬ 
sumed advice coaid be profitable; and the simple 
rustics of Ambermead perhaps valued it the more, 
because, though delivered without a particle of 
pomposity, Hie terseness and decision of the words 
expended left an indelible impression which long 
sermons often failed to convey. Mr. Canute lived 
on terms of intimacy with the family at the old Hall 
—an intimacy cemented by early association, for Mr. 
Harwell aud Mr. Canute had been school fellows; 
and when a painful aud lingering illness attacked the 
squire, bis ancient friend and crony felt deep anxiety 
as to the ultimate fate of Mr. Harwell’s only child, 
the good and lovely Clara Harwell. The disease was 
an incurable one; though the suffering might be pro¬ 
tracted, there was no hope of ultimate recovery, and 
an air of gloom reigned over the village of Amber¬ 
mead, where once the sweet spring and summer tide 
brought ouly sport and glee. Ambermead was noted 
for a profusion of rich red roses, exhaling delicious 
fragrance; and for the song of innumerable nightin¬ 
gales, whose harmonious conceits resounded amid 
the umbrageous groves sheltering the hamlet on 
every side and extending beyond the old Hall of 
Ambermead. But now, although the roses bloomed 
and the birds sang, serious faces looked from the 
cottage doors; and while the younger villagers for¬ 
got their usual pastimes, the elders conversed apart 
in whispers, always directing their glances toward 
the Hall as if the sufferer within those thick walls 
could be disturbed by their conversation. This sym¬ 
pathy was called forth, not only by the circumstance 
of Mr. Harwell being their ancestral landlord, the 
last of an impoverished race, but from liis always 
having lived among them as a friend and neighbor— 
respected as a superior, aud beloved as an equal. 
Their knowledge, also, of the squire’s decayed for¬ 
tunes; and that, on his death, the fine old place must 
become thc property of a stranger, whom rumor did 
not report favorably of, greatly enhanced the con¬ 
cern of these hereditary cultivators of the soil; and 
many bright eyes grew dim thinking of poor Miss 
CJara, who would soon be fatherless, and almost pen¬ 
niless. The estate of Ambermead was strictly 
entailed in the male line, and the next heir was of 
distant kin to the Harwells. A combination of mis¬ 
fortunes, and no doubt of imprudence in years long 
bygone, had reduced the present proprietor to the 
verge of min. from which he was to find refuge only 
in the grave. The Harwell family had lived for cen¬ 
turies in Ambermead. They seemed so much to 
belong to their poor neighbors, who always sympa¬ 
thized most fully in all the joys and sorrows of the 
prospect of losing them forever as it seemed, the 
parting became more than a common one between 
landlord and tenant, between rich and poor — it was 
the parting of endeared friends. 
They watched and waited for Mr. Canute passing 
to and fro, as he did every day, and more than once 
a day; and on his two words they hung, as if life or 
death were involved in that short bulletin. 
“ How is the squire to-day?” said one. 
“ No better,” replied Mr. Canute, mildly, without 
stopping. 
“ And how's Miss Clara?” inquired another, with 
deep pity in hfs looks. 
“Very patient,” responded the old man, still mov¬ 
ing slowly on with the aid of his stout staff. 
“Patient!” repeated several voices when he was 
ont of hearing. “Yes, yes. patient enough; and 
Master Canute means a deal when he says patient. 
Bless her young sweet face! there's patience in it if 
ever there was in mortal’s.” 
Miss Clara had found shelter with her relative, Lady 
Ponsonby, though her memory was still fresh and 
warmly cherished among the humble friends in her 
beautiful native village. Mr. Canute, if possible, 
more silent than ever, still remained the village k 
oracle; perhaps more cherished than of yore, inas- . 
much as he was the only memento remaining of the 
beloved Harwells—the old familiar faces now seen 
no more. He would listen, and they would talk, of g 
days gone by; he felt the loss even more than others, 
for he mourned a companion and friend in Mr. Har- g 
well, and Clara had been to the good Two Words as 
an adopted daughter. At length it was rumored that 
Mr. Selby, the new proprietor, was soon expected to ^ 
take possession of his property in due form; more- 
over, that he was n the point of marriage, and that 
his young bride void accompany him. Ill reports 
fly quickly; and it had been circulated in former , 
timea that Mr. 8elby was wild and extravagant, care- ‘ 
less of others, selfish ftnd profligate. Indeed, Mr. t 
Canute had not contradicted such reports, so jt was , 
generally opined they were too true, and had a legal 
foundation. With heavy hearts the inhabitants of j 
Ambermead commenced their rural preparations for 
the reception of the squire and bis bride; green ( 
arches were erected and wreaths of flowers were 
hung on the spread.ag branches beneath which the j 
travelers’ road lay. It was the seapon of roses and j 
nightingales, when Ambermead was in its glory: and 1 
never had the rich red roses bloomed bo profusely, 
aud never had the chorus of the groves been more 
full and enchanting, than on the summer evening j 
when the young and old of thc bamlct, arrayed in ^ 
their holiday attire, waited to greet the new comers. , 
Mr. Canute stood at his cottage-door; the bridge 
just beyond, over which tbe route conducted to the 
Hall through avenues of greenerie, was festooned 
with roses; and a band of maidens in while lined the ' 
picturesque approach. The sun was setting when a i 
carriage drove quickly up, slackening its pace as it * 
crossed the bridge, and stopping at Mr. Canute’s < 
humble gate. Two Words himself, bareheaded, < 
stepped forward on seeing a lady alight, who in f 
another moment threw herself into his arms, ex¬ 
claiming: “Our first greeting must be from you, 1 
dear, dear Mr. Canute! I need not introduce Mr. < 
Selby — he is known to you already.” Speechless 
from astonishment and emotion, the old man could 1 
ouly say, “Miss Clara 1” as he gazed from one to ' 
the other, recognizing in the gentleman the way- 1 
faring guest who had departed so abruptly on his i 
walking expedition over the moonlight hills more 
than three years pteviously. Seizing the hand 
which Mr. Canute silently extended, Mr. Selby said, 
with deep feeling: 
“ It is to your instrumentality that 1 owe my 
present happiness.” j 
“How so?” was Mr. Canute’s reply, looking with ^ 
pleased surprise into the open face, which, on a former ^ 
occasion had won his confidence and admiration. 
“ 7W wards spoken in season wrought a change 
in me which all the preaching of friends and guardi¬ 
ans had failed to effect,” returned Mr. Selby, “and 
without which Clara never would have blessed me 
with her hand. These years of probation have 
proved my sincerity: and Lady Ponsonby (a severe 
and scrutinizing judge) pronounced my reformation 
complete ere she permitted me to address Clara. 
Those two little wordB, ‘And then?' enigmatical to : 
the uninitiated, convey a deep and mystical meaning 
to my heart; and they are of such significant import, 
that by inserting them whenever I paint the future, I 
trust to become a wiser and a better man.” 
Clara gazed proudly aud confidingly on ker hus¬ 
band; and the news of her arrival having spread 
through the village, a crowd collected, whose joy 
and surprise found vent in tears and blessings, to say 
nothing of numerous asides, purporting that Miss 
Clara never would have espoused a bad man; ergo, 
Mr. Selby must be a worthy successor of the ancient 
race! 
The prognostication proved correct; and the path¬ 
way, strewn with bright summer roses,* over which 
Clara trod in bridal pomp on her way to the ances¬ 
tral home where she was horn, was indeed emblem¬ 
atical of the flowery path which marked her future 
destiny. 
The old Hall of Ambermead is still extant —aline 
specimen of venerable decay, surrounded by ances¬ 
tral groves, still famed for sheltering innumerable 
nightingales when the Ambermead roses exhale their 
delicious lragrauce. In the old church-yard on the 
green hill-side, a white monument gleams in the sun¬ 
shine, whereon may be traced the name of John 
Canute, specifying the date of his happy death, while 
below is engraven this inscription of two words —

DOESTICKS ON “SHODDY.” 
Doesticks, who claims to he an Ellsworth Zouave, 
thus narrates the experience of his Regiment after 
receiving their uniforms from the Military Board: 
The uniforms sent from New York were the trash¬ 
iest things possible: they wouldn’t stand the pressure 
— they wouldn’t stand any pressure. A gentle wind 
would blow a man’s coat into rags in half a day; 
while if he ventured out doors in a stiff breeze, his 
red breeches would tear out into long red flags, and 
in ten seconds he would look like a walking flagstaff, 
with the signal Bet for “ Never mind the Commodore 
old fellow, but sail in and fight on your own hook.” 
No man has had a whole suit of clothes for two 
months. We’ve gone on guard dressed only in over¬ 
coat and muBket, and we’ve done scout duty in the 
easy and elegant attire of a revolver and one pair of 
shoes to three men. When we’ve wanted to dress 
extra fine for Sunday service, we’d polish our mus¬ 
kets and tie a red rag on each leg. The chaplain, for 
decency’s sake — when he preaches — stands in an 
empty pork barrel to hide bi9 legs.

C. S. A.—Tie above insignificant letters having 
been discovered recently upon the closed door of an 
individual known to have been largely interested in 
Southern business, his anxious creditors came to the 
conclusion that he had incontinently sloped for “Se- 
cessia,” until one of them chanced to meet him in the 
street. 
“Hallo!” says tbe creditor, “what are you doing 
here? I saw the placard on your door—C. S. A.— 
Confederate States of America.” 
“ Softly,” replied the debtor, “that’s not the way 
I translate it—C. S. A.—Cant’t Settle Accounts.” 
The man was only in the same condition of the 
“C. S. A. States'' — they can’t settle their accounts, 
as many a man can most feelingly bear witness.
