IN THE COUNTY WOODVILLE, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1880 " Yes, child." was the ready answer, and Jessie was hastening off, when a feeble voice from the kitchen corner where the deacon sat, called her back : THANKSGIVING DAY AT Dal-:uvmon. The dinner table \szq nicely arranged in the “best room ” of the farmhouse, and Jessie Graham, with a happy look on her bright face, flitted in and out, arranging the dishes a little more to her taste, smoothing the snowy cloth, pausmg a moment before the fire blazing so cheerfully upon the hearth, and then glancing from the window, across the frozen fields to the hillside where a new grave had been made since the last Thanks giving Day. “ Dear Ellen !” she sighed, “ there is no plate for her now,â€"no chair.” Then, as she remembered an absent one, dearer far than Ellen, she thought, ” l’ll nuke believe he's here,” and seeking Mrs. llowland, who was busy with her turkey, she said ,- “ May I put a plate for Walter ? It will please him when he hears of it." " Jessie,” the old man said. ” Put Seth’s arm-chair next to mine. It is the last Thanksgivng I shall ever see, and I would fancy him with me once more," and as Jessie turned toward the place, where the leathern chair stuml, she heard the words : “ It's the deacon’s wish ” she whispered to her father, who, with Mrs. Bellenger, was also spending Thanksgiving at the farm- house, and who looked up surprised, as Jessie dragged from itsaccnstomed post the pomlerous arm-chair, and wheeling it into the other room, placed it to the deacon’s right.

Continued. “Deenvood !” shouted the conductor, and looking from the window, he could scarcely believe it possible that this Bounish- ing village was the same he had known among the hills. When he Went away one spire alone pointed heaveuwurd, now he counted roar. while in the faces of some who greeted Walter again he saw the looks of those who had been boys with him, but who were fathers now to these grown-up young men. “ I am old," he sighed, and mechanically entering the omnibus, be folded his arms in moody silence. as they rattled down the street. But when the brow of the hill was reached, and Walter said: “See, father, there’s our orchard,” he started. and looked, not at the orchard, nor at the gable roof now fully in view, nor at the maple tree, but down the lane, along the beaten path, to where the tall monument gleamed white and cold in the gray November light. ‘ ‘That's her’s,â€"that's mother’s," \anter said, following the direction of his father’s eyes; then fearing that his father, by his emotions, should hetmy himself too soon, he arose and sat by him, taking his hand, and saying tenderly . “ Don’t. give way; You have me left, and grandpa, and Aunt Mary, and J essie,â€"won't you try to be calm 1'" “ Yes, yes," whispered the agitated man, and with a tremendous effort be was calm, as, standing in the Well-remembered kitchen. he waited till the noisy outburst had nome- what subsided, and Walter been welcomed home. There was none in Aunt Debby, he said,--â€" wrinkled, gray, slight and straight as her high-hacked chainâ€"just as he remembered her years ago,-â€"-just so she was now,â€"her kerchief crossed as she wore it then.-â€"-her spectacles on her foreheadâ€"her apron long, and almost meeting behind, and on the chair-post her satin bag with the knitting visible therefrom. She was the same, but the comely matron Walter called Aunt Mary. was she the blooming maiden he had left so long ago, and the elegant-looking stranger, with the unmistakcnhle city polish, was that his early friend ? It took him but an instant to think all this, and then his eyes fell upon the old men by the firmâ€"the man with the furrowed cheek, the bowel form, the silvery hair, and shaking limbs,â€"- who, like some giant oak which has yielded to the storms of many a winter, sat there the battered wreck of a once noble man. That was his father, but he would not call him so just then, and when \‘v’alter, turning at last, said : “ This is Captain Murdock, the kind friend who took care of me," he went forward, taking first Aunt Dohby's hand. then his sister Mary’s, then Mr. Gra- ham’s, and now there was a slight faltering of manner, while his eyes sought the floor, for they could not meet the gaze fixed so curiously upon him. “ Grandpa, this is Captain Murdock." said Walter, while Captain Murdock advanced a step or no and took the ahriveled hand, which had so often rested fondly on his head. Oh, how Seth longed to kiss that feeble hand ; but he dared not. and he was glad that Walter. with his loud, rapid talking, attracted the entire attention. leaving him to sit down unobserved, when the meeting between himself and Mrs. Bellenger was over. At hei- ho bed looked rather inquisi. tively, for she was his Ellen's mother, and his heart yearned toward her for the sake of his gentle wife. “ We shall be there just iii time, " he said to his father, when at an early hour they took their seat in the cars ; but his father paid little heed,so intent was he upon noting the changes which mone than twuuty years had wrought in the localities with which he was once familiar. As the day wore on, and he drew near to Deerwood, he leaned hack in his seat, faint and sick with the crowd of memories which came rushing uvvr him. But not a single thing escaped the notice of his keen eyes, which wandered round the room taking in each fmnilinr object. and noticing where there had been a change. Meanwhile Walter, without aeemingto do so. had [men watching for somebody. Wm“ icon-Minn to They had stayed all night in the city, where Walter had learned that Mr. Graham, Jessie and his-grandmother, had gone to Deerwoou to spend Th: nksgiviving Day. the dish of cranberries she held, ran ofi‘ into the pantry, where. as Aunt Debby afiirmed. she hid herself in. the closet, though from what she was hiding it were difficult to tell. There was surely nothing appalling in the sight of Waller, who, alighting from the village omnibus, now stood upon thqthresh- hold, with Captain Murdock.- No. 418 The movement was a most singular one, and to Mr. Graham, who knew that there must be a powerful motive for the eetion. there came a. suspicion of the truth; but none to the old man, whose eyes {all beneath the burning gaze riveted upon him. Owing to the presence of the captain, who was considered a stranger, not a word was spoken of Seth, until they arose fronf‘ti‘ table, when Walter, unable longer to keep still, said : . ‘ And no my father is free from ell bluno l’ Involunturily Jessie went up to hi-n and put her arm in his, waiting breathleuly for what would follow next. ‘ Yes, \Valter.’ returned the deacon, ‘ my Seth is innocent. Heaven bless him wher- ever he may be, and send him to me before I die, so I can hear him say he didn't lay it up against me,-my hardening my hurt and thinking he was guilty. Pom- Seth. poor Seth ! I’d give my life to hint out 111 the past and have him with me just as ho mu; before he went away.’ Captain Murdock was standing with his face to the window, but, as the deacon oeu- ed speaking, he turned, and going up to him, placed his hand on either shoulder and look- ed into his eyes. So Captain Murdock sat there, his heart throbbing so loudly that Jessie, who was next to him, could hear it boat, and see his chin quiver. when the voice nearly eighty years old, was asking God’s blessing on their Thanksgiving Dinner; thanking God for retnming their boy to them. am! finishing the prayer with the touching peti- tion . “Send the other back ! oh, lend the other back !’ ‘ Who are you 2’ he aka}! in a bewildered tone, ‘ why do you look at me so hard 1 Ho scares me ; Walter, take him away.’ ‘ Grandpa, don’t you know liim 1' and \Valter drew near to them, but not until the old man’s car had caught the whispered name of ‘fnlher.’ ‘ 01:, Seth, Seth,‘ and the bury hood! bowed itself upon the neck of the stranger. while the poor old mm nabbed like u littlo‘ child. ' I didn’t expect it, Seth, though“ I’ve prayed for it l0 hard. Bless you, blow“ you, boy. I didn't mean to go oguimt you. I would have died at any time to know flat-:1 you were innocent. Forgive me, Seth, bo- cauuo I am so old and weak.’ ‘ I do forgive yon,’ answered Seth. ‘ It's all forgotten now. and I’ve come homo to stay with you always till you die.' There wu a hand hid slightly on Seth'l shoulder, and turning. he looked into tho face of Mr. Graham. which quivond with emotion, as he aaid : ‘ I, too,‘ have need of your forgivo'mu.’ To be continued.

W'nlter understood her mowing, and with an answering nod, said softly : “ By and by.” ‘ " The dinner will be cold." wanted Mrs. Howlaud, and then the deacon tone, and leaning on his cane, walked into the ul- jacent room, where he took his sent at the head of the table. ‘ “ There’s a chair for you," J usie “id to Walter, who, following the nutunl laws of attraction, kept close to her side " Thu-0’9 one for you and him, too, my old plny base," and she pointed to the leathern chair. He evidently was embernued, for he hastened to present her to Captain Murdock who, feeling, intuitively. that he beheld his future daughter-in-luw, took both her soft chubby hands in his and held them there. while he said, a little uuuchievously : “ I have heard much of you, Mi'u Julio, from my 30â€", my friend, I mean,” he udd- ed, quickly, correcting himself, but no: lo quickly that Jessie did not detect what he meant to any. “Junie,” called Mr. Gnhun, who luv them too, “Jessie, hadn’t you better come out and guther up the cranberries you drop- ped '0 suddenly when the omnibnn drove “ Ftther, how can you 1” ad the young lady immediately appe‘red, md greeted Walter quit. mtuully. “P ,n 35in counge to come out.
