REMINISCENCES OF A LITTLE GIRL. 
MRS. M. J, GALPIN. 
CHAPTER H. 
About this time young Father Silk commenced 
l oading the hfble and gradually found that there 
was another light In which to view It, besides 
that of Romanism; but bis progression was alow, 
as he was held by shackles aa of Iron. His vows, 
his early training and everything else combined to 
keep him at.111 within the fold. But there waa a 
•• reserved power ” In our friend Tommy, that only 
needed circumstances to develop. The bishop 
and priests commenced to sniff something wrong, 
and Tommy was called upon to explain how mat¬ 
ters stood, After a general coniession. and re¬ 
ceiving the threats of the “Anathema" of the 
chnroh, he was awarded enough peunance for his 
derelictions to wear out, a dozen pah- of knees. 
Likewise was he to live on bread ana water, till be 
had subdued his mortal, sinful flesh, but the Iron 
had entered Tommy's soul, and light and love 
could not be driven out so easily. Tbe image of 
the charming woman who had ensnared hlsyoung 
heart conid not be torgotten. Using Ids position 
as priest to better advance hls cause, he called at 
the home of ms unknown darling and found that 
she was the young widow of an East India officer 
and tue mother of three children. But even these 
overwhelming obstacles did not efface his regard. 
Her rather, a Scotchman, and a member of one of 
her Majesty's Highland Regiments was a fierce 
man, one who was addicted to hls “cups,” and 
when under the influence or liquor It was safest to 
keep out of fils reaefl. Roy McGregor was a “ cau¬ 
tion ’’ to all around, several times, according to 
tne rules of the British army, had he been sen¬ 
tenced to be flogged ror drunkenness and rnlsde- 
meauors but his gentle little wife always inter¬ 
ceded for him so pathetically, that she succeeded 
In having hls punishment extend no further than 
the guard house. Roy McGregor was almost gi¬ 
gantic in size, and a peilect Hercules In strength, 
while hls wire was a dove-like gentle creature who 
hardly dared say her soul was her own. They had 
a family or ten handsome children, who almost 
worshipped their mother and dreaded their un¬ 
governable father. Tommy’s “inamorata” was 
the eldest of the girls who had only a short, time 
previously come back a widow with her husband’s 
reglmeut. Now when McGregor was In his cups, 
he would send ail the priests and churches to 
hades, but when sober he was the most abject of 
sinners. He did not at first notice Father Silk’s 
frequent visits to bis ho use, as he supposed they 
were caused by the concern the holy lather had 
about hls ow n unregenerate soul, so that “Cupid” 
had a flue caance to do all Hie mischief he could, 
quite unsuspected by all parties. Hour after hour 
and day alter day the bonds that held their souls 
inthiaiigiew stronger, till it became evident to 
both, that they were drilling to the edge of a dan¬ 
gerous precipice, over which they might fall at 
any time. 
Months rolled on, till at last matters were 
brougne to a crisis by .McGregor hunself. who had 
found eyesight to sec wnat was going on around 
him. He arose In hls wrath, threatened to Kill ms 
daughter and that turncoat priest. If he should 
ever enter hls house again But love laughs at all 
dangers aud will have hls own, even if it be In the 
face of death. Tommy concluded to give up the 
church, hls faith, and all else, to marry the woman 
he adored, come what might. Boone night when one 
of those terrible wild storms, that rage so often In 
Ireland, was blowing, he quietly left the bishop’s 
house, and through wind and rain, found hls way 
to McGregor’s, where hls dear Katie waa already 
expecting film, tbe giant Roy lay asleep from the 
effects oi hls pot of •* potheen," and all else being 
quiet, she icit the house and Joined Tommy in the 
garden. The wild wind blew and shrieked through 
tne mountains; the rain poured lu torrents, as If 
determined to drown out that ostracized unfor- 
utnate couple, but hand In hand they breasted the 
storm, until they came to the edge oi a bog. Here 
lived a discarded priest, commonly called a 
“ couple beggar,” aud standing before this outcast 
from the priesthood, the ceremony was gone 
througn witn, that bound them as man and wife. 
The bride’s heart was almost broken with the fear 
that her angry father, In a at of drunken passion, 
would kill her helpless little ones, as he had often 
threatened to do, and Father Tommy dreaded the 
curses and anathemas of the church. I tell you, 
dear children, It was a dear bought love, and 
tnrough years of toll and privation, this love was 
the oniy sunbeam that brightened their pathway. 
If any of rny little readers are Catholics, don’t 
think tor a moment that i have anything -against 
Romanists personally, although I do not believe in 
their creed. Some oi my dearest friends are Catho¬ 
lics, and 1 have a score of relatives that are Catho¬ 
lics also. There has been more peseeutlon done lu 
the name of religion, than In any other cause, and 
before 1 get througb with Father Tom and Ids 
little girl, you will see that those of the “ortho¬ 
dox 'faith can persecute about as well as those 
of Catholicism. 1 do not say that Tommy did 
right In deviating trom the priesthood, but hls 
course is to some extent excusable. 1 will tell 
you In toother chapter of the wanderings of this 
fugitive pair, who had thus risked all for the privi¬ 
lege of loving each other, Tour heart will be 
touched by their mlsfortuues ere 1 am through. 
So good-bye, till we meet again. 
THAT BROTHER OF MINE. 
Or Horticulture In Hoorn—Spiced. 
MRS. M. L SAYERS. 
“ Bliss, how do you reckon Tradescantla got to 
be called Wandering Jew?” said Will, as he stood 
trying to float a light shell on the surface of the 
crystal water In a clear glass Jar. (It would float 
whenever the opening was turned down.) 
“Oh! because It travels so mysteriously and gets 
all over one’s little world of a window garden be¬ 
fore one is aware of it,” and Bliss readied up to 
pluck out a streamer which had stretched across 
and Invaded a pot of Geraniums to its discomfort. 
“But Bliss, Isn't It strange that such a traveler 
should be so green looking ? Why, that cornuco¬ 
pia reuow is a regular greenhorn,” and will's 
black eyes twinkled with satisfaction at Ills fun 
Bliss laughed as she was expected to, and said, 
•■while the Wandering Jew is said to go wander¬ 
ing about the world, he never holds any commu¬ 
nication with man, and may be Ignorant aud green 
as you sar; we are apt to respect mystery more 
than It deserves, and also travelers or sight seers, 
but see there! your shell has sunk, and see how it 
lsmagnltied! It Is just beautiful. Hold the Jar up.” 
“ Oh ! yes,” replied Will, an •• aquarium! Give me 
that sprig of Wandering Jew, bliss. Now, old 
fellow, you must do a sort of amphibious animal, 
or you couldu’t cross seas, and rivers, and bogs, 
and gulfs; I’U try you In water awhile,” and Will 
put the sprig In the jar. 
Bliss watched the rootlets spread out thread-like 
and delicate, and as she noticed a thousand little 
hairs bristling along these threads, (being magni¬ 
fied In tbe water), she exclaimed, “ Oh! will,” 
but Will was gone, and she resumed her investi¬ 
gations. 
** Hallo. Bliss! Now for the study or e-A-e—lch— 
oh 1—what is It Icabody?” said Will, bursting In 
with an old bucket In his hand. 
“ Oh! yes, I see you have some fish—you mean 
ichthyology,” said Bliss. 
“Yes, I mean ichihyologu. Get In there, you 
little scaly. wags,” and Will dropped two tiny 
minnows Into the jar. They darted and whisked 
through the water, and when held in the sun. re¬ 
flected all the colors of the rainbow. Bliss ab¬ 
sorbed in watching their graceful movements had 
forgotten Will, till he bounded in again. “ Now 
we must feed these little .flirts,” said he, and 
dropped In an angle- worm which began stretching, 
drawing up and squirming in every direction. 
Bliss recoiled, lior It was magnified till It looked 
like a baby snake. It at first frightened the fish. 
“ Now study him Bliss. What sort of uhvjy do you 
call that? He's on a bender and stretcher, too. 
Strange, without any feet he can exhibit so many 
feats,'’ uud Will was again delighted. 
“ But the fish can’t eat that, great worm, will, 
let’s try something reasonable," said Bliss, us she 
got some cracker crumbs and made them quite 
flue. One of these waa soon inhaled, blow n out 
and Inhaled again, and she could see quite dis¬ 
tinctly the fish masticating It. In the afternoon 
Will called her attention to the fish gasping at 
the surface of the water. The Jar had set In the 
sun and the heat had helped dispel the oxygen. 
Bliss emptied the contents In a basin, wiped the 
jar and returned the shell, Tradescantla and fish, 
and added a sprig of coral and some moss-like ever¬ 
green (feathery and beautiful), and fresh water. 
Tills she repeated once a day, aud learned, aster 
three weeks' experience, that warmth was den? 
mental to keep the water fresh and charged 
with oxygen, that the fishing-worm wenr to sleep 
every night in the little couch-shell, that cracker 
crumbs, stiff cream and tiny worms from the 
flower pots, were good food for the Ashes, that the 
Wandering Jew threw out roots readtiy in the 
water, and that an aquarium even maae of a glass 
fruit. Jar afforded her a vast amouut of pleasure 
and some Instruction. 
Letter Irom “ Will.” 
LorEz Island, Wash. Ter., Jan. 15,1SS0. 
Unolb Mark What witchery Is this that you 
carry on, In the department for the young ? Here 
Is myself, portrayed, and my sajltigs aud doings 
brought lo light, In “ That Brother of Mine.” Ah j 
those happy days of my boyhood In “ Old Vir¬ 
ginia!” I was surprised to se« I had got Into 
print, aud your readers will be more surprised to 
learn that happy, careless unthinking Will is a 
great big man with the responsibilities of the best 
little wife and the mnningent Uttle babe In the 
world, and cut off from that sister and all other 
kindred, by thousands of miles, away and away 
off here upon au Island of the Pacific. Here, I 
brought my bonnle bride two years ago, to try my 
fortune in a strange land. We found friends 
among the Indians, aud settled upon this island 
first, and began life in primitive style. Thanks to 
the skill acquired In making those flower fixings 
I could use tools right, dexterously, and soon had 
our humblo abode furnished with chair , bed¬ 
stead and other necessary articles, of my own 
manufacture; while Pluk cooked our frugal meals 
and “ astonished the natives” with gay quilts of 
brilliant colors. However, not being accustomed 
to “dig for a living,” I soou got tired of toll, and 
looked about for a place where It would spring up 
spontaneously from tbe ground. We moved t.o 
San Juan Island. We move here in boats, and 
by the time we were well Installed, a new Joy 
came to our home. 
That cunning little babe brightened the very 
walls of our rude home. What If we should loose 
this incentive to new endeavor In ustrange land! I 
thought of my mother then, the pain It, had cost her 
to part with her boy aud feel she would never look 
upon him again, all for a loollsU freak. We named 
our baby Jane for that mother who bad been so 
kind and forbearing, but lu honor of the Isle of 
birth called her Juaneta which Ih the Spanish for 
Jane and Is pronounced Wa-neta, Just as San Juau 
Is pronounced San Wan, which means St,. John, 
I had now a new spur to urge me on, aud by dint 
of hard work, I finally had sulficlent money ahead 
to pay for a “ claim” on Lopez Island, to which I re¬ 
turned, built me a house, and am now ready to begin 
life in earnest, as one help, comes ihe Rural New- 
Yorker, sent by That Stater oj Mine, t know, that 
I may reap the benefit of Its fiarvest of good things. 
Is It well though that she Inspired me with the 
love ot the beautiful when 1 have no means of 
gratifying that love ? Ah I yes, it Is well—“ A ll Is 
y/wlJ tha,t ends well,” and I hope one day to be able 
to place my Spanish maiden In a bower of beauty. 
At present, I must, be thankful for such oppor¬ 
tunities as your free seed distribution, gives one In 
niy situation, and for the room which you give 
little Juaneta in the Horticultural Club. We shall 
look after her plants till she Is old enough to take 
pleasuieln the flowers which spring up in her path, 
even In the winter of adversity; just as these fair 
daisies clothe tbe ground here now, while thou¬ 
sands can look only upon snow and ice. But my 
letter grows too long. More another time.
