BD. C. BOB 1X3. It 'was' in the eafly part of October, 16G3, that the Rev. Mr. Allen started to walk to Fanner Owen's over the hills. He had to cross two low spurs of the Green Mountains, and as he climbed to the top of the second the rich valley ,of the Otter Creek lay spread oa before him. , At any other ime he would have stopped to admire its geEtle' undulations; its great flower garden of forest trees, rich in every color;and hue, its silver threads winding their way ;: to the wa fers of the Champlain", and the .glorious autumn light 'which lay like a golden mantlff over ithem all. But 'this after noon he seemed 'oppressed by . the beautf around him. He lookeid' upoa it with eyes misty from tears.1 There'was a dull, heavy weight upon .his heart a weight which even the long,. fervent. prayer he had uttered1 s'o ' unceasingly since noon failed to move.', Between-him and that landscape, we might almostisay, between him and the meicy 6eat, ihere moved a slignt, tall boy, wan a laugning oiue eye. clustering brown hair,' and lips always ready with a merry wbrd 'To-day, the re was Bennie, nuting under the bare, braw ny arms of the butternut tree; throwing hB lines into the little brooks, that came balling down from the steep mountain tide driving his cow along the snorrow foot-path 'standing Vithi BjoVsbras under the bright niaple, and -sLoughting with pride and icy as she wreathed her pretty face in the. gay teavesJ ' ','. . ,. ; Uh, Bennie ! Bennie V Mr. . Allen hardly knew he was calling the 'name, until it came back to hi in .'.with such an empty, tnocking!ound, from the hardlesa echo ;; ,alhdst',M"r'.;' Allen ' thought; startling himself by the ..'seeming impiety of the words "almost as; if there were nogreaj kind Father over qs all." V i As he. came near Farmer Owen s house, he saw his oxen'yoked to the plow. He knewthey had been.' there since the telegraph came. Mr. Owen had read it in the field, gone to the' house and" for gotten them, and no one had dared to put them up. He was a man fulty capa ble of taking care of his own atlairs un der any circumstances, never having been known before' to forget, .- Mr. Allen beckoned to an Jrashman who Was passing, and asked him to take care Of them. ' Thti man came With an awed look upon his face,' as if even there he stood in the presence of a great sor row. Mr. Allen walked on slowly toward the house, . He had known Mr. Owen or many years, and he knew him well, ndeed, there was a peculiar bond of sym- paihy betwpen the two men. In all - his arge parish, there was not one upon wiiom tne minister relied as ne did upon a . a i t this strong, sturdy farmer. Many and many an hour he had walked by his side when he was upturning the brown earth, and had discoursed upon-Jopips which would htfve sounded harsh and repulsive to common ears, but wnicn were iraugnt with deep and vital interest to them. Mr. Owen was a direct descendant of the uiitaus and every .'drop of his blnod was ttnffea witn as stronjr ana . true a blue" as if .he himself had landed in the Mayflower. ' He took naturally to the sterner doctrines of religioh,: while Mr. Allen versed in air .the modern lore, questioned and doubted, i The keystone of Mr. Owen's theology was the sover eignty of God: vShall not the Judge of all earth do right !' This Was tlte'mah upon whom 'God had now laid his hands on so heavily; and Mr. Allen felt that if the trial brought .no; murmur, no. rebel lion against the rr.ighty Soverign, the stern old faith were indeed a rich one in which to live and die. Tie knw that one tkment in this War Was Puritan. Sons of the Round-heads filled ' op the ranks of the Northern army. They had marched to battle to straius' of the o d tunes that had lingered in: the nursery apd sanctuary'from the day"1 that Crom well and his ; soldiers! chanted themon Marston Moor,' Ail dpwn the aisles, of Time came tramping to the music armed men, bearing n'n their shields the two words; Liberty and Equality:Tbeytrem ble bn Mrl Owen's lips with hispahinsr blessing to his boy. ) Would he remenn ber them, and would.they comfort, an4 give hitn strength now t . ,j Where there is affliction' in a'hbuse the ministgris at hocae. 'Mr. 'Allen en tered without knocking, and "mald his way to the large, old-fashioned kitchen in whi;h hejwp ure finding the fam ily'.'" ' - l . . . , ) i , There, by a table.'with his arms fold ed and laid heavilyupon it, sat .Mr. Owen) His wife Was in a small rocking chair. by the ; fire,; and iBlpssoma young girl, sat between them." . ) Mr. Owen rose 'to welcomhim ; sq did Blossom but the wife did , not" notice him-she sal slill, rocking herself to and fro, looking at the blazin wood. t . )" "Mr. Allen put a'hat.d in the' brawny one that was held out 'toward ,' him, and laid the other on r." OwenV great heaving breast,' 'M'y friend," he saidf "how is it with the decrees of God V ', ' "Just and true are all thy waysj thou. Kins of Saints," faltered out .the', man! There was something strange in . 'his voice a thin,' womanly sound, so unl ike the deep, sle'njoriin Cones 'fn which he had always poken before. Mr. Allen when he heard it, almost felt as if ho ha dealt'him a blow, "Thank God! He: has not, -then forsaken you, and from the dep'ha o ihis deep truble you can still say,, 'Tha Maker of aoll doetu well . "Yes yes,"-and for an instant there glimmered from his dull eyes a spark of tne old controversial fire "you , don t suppose that 1 hive held on to tbatacch or wnen tne sines were cloudless, and the little waves just rocked my bark, to let co of it now now, when the great waves and billows are goin j cv6r rne,'do you? I've planted it firm, and it don't yield ; no it don t yield, but the strain is terrible. God send it may-carry me into port ; oh, Mr. Allen, eay it will.- It has seemed to me to tiay so dark, so wonoer ful, "so inscrutable, that he-m'y ;Bennie !

God forgive me, if mv crief is a ein- Mr. Allen, the dear boy, only slept a minute, just one little minute, at his post; 1 know that ' wai1 all, for Beunie never Uozed over duty! ' How prompt and reliable he was !" and Owen's eve wandered out over Mr. over ..tne brown fields, with sach a 6erplexed, wondering look;. .."I .know he ;, only jfell cfT'one little second ;' he'waa so young, and not stfong, that boy of mine ! why, he was as tall as.

' "Yes, yes, let us hope; God1 isvery merciful; and Bennie was so good -I do not mean holy," be said, correcting him self sharply; ''there is no one holy-no,' not one but' Jesus died' for : sinners, Mr Allen tell me: that. -Oh,: .Bennie1!

It is a merciful thing she is sort- of stunned, it' seems to me : she makes no wail. Poor mother ! if my heart was not broken it would al most kill me to see her so. Bennie was her idol. I told her often, God had saidk Though shall hare no otier gods before me." . , ' t . 1 . Mr. Allen looked, in astonishment; at the bowed man as he came aud stood be fore him. These few hours had" done the'work of years. ' The : sinewy 'frame was tottering, the eyes were dimmed, and the-sudden sorrow had written -its elf in deep wrinkles all oyer. his. ,maniy face.
