( For The Courier. When the Keverend Hosea Rambo suddenly shut bis eyes tighter than Chaucer's Chanticleer, and opened his mouth 8B wide, over bis plate, the school ma'am boarder gazed for a full minute before she realized that ho was saying grace. Then she dropped her eyes, the little landlady set down a china cup in baste, and the new order of meal-taking was inaugurated. The House of the Grottoes had been too lonety. Since the day when the invalid hid beeu hushed there, chil dren's voices had drowned the lost echoes. Yet three dark haired grand daughters with the gypsy eyes of their ne'er do well father, and the lithe feet that had been their mother's, were not enough to fill those hands left empty. Hence the bair wreaths, where dark flowers feather all the edges; the wax chains, looped about wax vases; the lit tle wax plates, heaped with wax berries, and plums, and pears, and grapes; with wax slices of cake, where the frosting almost melts; with wax candies and tarts and desserts. They had gone one by one, the three grown gypsy maids, 'lbe old spinning wheel; the pink china; the andirons; the real lace scarfs and fichus that had graced the halls of the Canton home, bad gone with them. Only in memory the Little Lady saw her treasures now, down a vista of colonial pillars white and high. The acres about the House of the Grottoes had slipped away with each wedding day. until only a corner lot was left in the city, grown up to the grotto by the gate. But the playthings of the little maids were left behind, with the remnant of old treasures. And what the little players had failed to do, his Reverence from Tennessee accom plished. He kept the old hands busy. Not that he himself was a creature of over accentuated energy. The smile that spread his expansive lips, was gen ial as the April sun on the lee side of a hay stack. His blue eyes were placid as a carp pond, when, fixing them upon the circle of hiB plate, he ruminated up on his early youth. "My father was nearest of all his rela tions to having a college education. He went one winter down to Nashville. When spring came, he walked out on the campus, and beard the birds chirp ing, and the wind blowing over the trees. And he thought about the culti vators clicking along'the rowB. So he Bwung his books over his shoulder, and struck out for home." "And'never went back?" "Never went back. No; I'm through." Both-woraen smiled, as the Tennesse an betook himself to his room, with an easy gait and an easy drawl that exclud ed any abruptness from his exit. "He doesn't expend any surplus ener gy in words," remarked the school ma'am. "No, but you don't know, Miss Mitch ell, how it rests me to have some one in the house. It's a house of shadows." The minister opened his door. "There isn't enough water in my pitcher, Mrs. Hillis," he remarked amiably. The school ma'am looked from the big smooth ringers that held out the pitcher, to the tiny, knotted ones that took it, and felt her temper stir. It squirmed untaeily, when the little wid ow, coming back from the kitchen with distress in her face, explained, "there isn't any more in, and it's too slippery for me to go out I'm so Borry," from the depths of very old rose upholstery. His reverence contemplated for a full minute the unhappy pitcher. "Perhaps 1 might get Fome," he at length hazard ed, and as no objection offered, ho made bis way to the hjdrant on tho north porch. "Yes," remarked Hiss Mitchell, re suming a broken thread of conversation, "I think you'll not be very lonesome now," and with a swift goodnight, she shut the door and her mouth together. "Lazy as October sunshine, irrespon sible as a wood chuck. What can he tell his flock about higher living?" Then she remembered his last remark, and laughed until she cried. "I'll undertake to show him his lead ings in one or two directions, anyway," she ended with a most pedagogical frown at her brass door knob. Two weeks later, the Reverend Hoeea Rambo sat in his old rose upholstered chair, with his blue eyes fixed on a lit tle picture that hung over his wash stand. It was of a oung girl with dark, southern eyes that he understood These restless, nervous men and women of the north were an increasing perplex ity. His landlady, who flushed and looked ready to cry, at seeing him let a little pink saucer fall and break; who rose from the table a dozen times in as many minutee, to make his tea hot, road a cavernous bass was intoning: MU-i r and creators complaints How sweet to my soul is communion with saints.

Why, he had even surprised her, one morning, bringing in stove wood for his landlady. And when he had stood at his side door to watch her safely up the back steps, A-hore he was alwajs afraid the little widow would slip, how the two women had laughed!

He fancied that his landlady was a little more ner vous than usual, since she had been complaining of a lame back. She had even asked him to tell her the day of his return before driving to hiB country appointments. As it he could ever know what broad girthed farmer might invite the "preacher" for an extended visit. It was all bewildering, and he turned gladly to the round solemn student faces on hiB walls. Here were the eyes that had followed with hiB through church and Bible history, the lips that had repeated with, him chapel songs and evening prayers. These knew his plans and hopes. These were not distracted by considerations of stove wood and clothes lines. He saw stretched beyond their faces a shadowy background of blue Cumberland hills. There had been a day one of those when Morgan's raiders came, that his father had lain from dawn till dark underneath the heavy floor of bis great 'barn, and felt the settliLg dust of his grains which the rebels were threshing out to carry away. Now, in his deep arm chair, the son felt something of the sire's impotence. He rose, strode slowly from the door, and took out bis horse. The little dame, watching, said to her little stove, "How shall I ever get the clothes line down? Oh dear'. And when will he come back?" "Just let him go and come. Don't think about it," had been Miss Mitch ell's parting words, that very morning. "I wish I could help thinking, but I've had somebody to worry over so long, that it's kind of second nature." And she stirred the fire of the Rev erend Hoeea and patted his pillows, and straightened the crotcheted tidies on his bureau, while far out on a country Low Rates, West and Northwest.
