«g » » »o» Taking a Situ ation. \Well , girls , said my Uncle Barnabas , \ ati<i now -what do you propose to do about It ?\ We sat around the fire in a di sconsolate semi circle , tbafc dreary, drizzling May ni g bt , when the rain pattered n gaiust the window panes , and the poor little daffodils in the borders shook and shivwod ns if they would fain hide their golden heads , once more in the mother soil. Jl y mother , Elea- nor and I. The first , pale and pretty, and silver-bailed , with the widow ' s cap. and her dress of blade bombazine and crape ; the swestORt looking old lad y, I think , that I ev«r saw . Eleanor sat beside her , lookinpr , as she always did , ,like a princess , with l arcje , dark eyes , -x/!an a like~Teature» , — nun- hair twisted in a sort of coronal around her nneonlv b ead. Whiln I , plai n , homespun Sn^auush—commonl y called , \for short , glusy —crouched upon a footstool in the corner , my f-lbows on my knees , and my ehii) 111 my hands. TJiwla Barnabas Berkelin sat in the mid- dle or the circle , erect , stiff and rather grim. He was stout and sh ort , with a grizzled mustache , ' a Jit tie , round bald spot on the crown of bis head , and two g littering black eves that were always sending their dusky ir i f o * ligbtnin? in the direction least expected. Uncle. Barnabas was rich and we were poor. Un: 1» Barnabas was wise in the ways of the world and we were inexperienced. TJnele B irnabns was prosperous in all he did ; while , if there was a brttl bargain to be made , we were pretty sure to be the ones to make it . Consequently, and as a matter oJ course , -we looked, tip to TJnele Baraufcas , 3ud reve renced his op inions. \What do we propose to do about it? Eleanor slowl y repeated . Lifting her beauti- ful . jett3' brows. \Y- JS . that ' s exactly it , \ said my mother , nervously ; \because . Brother Barnabas , wa don 't pretend to be business women , and it ' s certain that we cannot live comfortabl y on our present income. Something has got to be done. \ And then my mother leaned back in her chair , with a troubled face. \Yes , \ sai d Uncle Barnabas , \ something has got to be done ! But who ' s to do it ?\ And another dead silence succeeded. \I suppose your girl s are educated ?\ said Unci© Barnabas. ''I kuow I found enoug h old school Kills when I was looking: over roy Hvvtf uer •* papers. \Of course , \ said my mother , with evi- dent pride ; \their education has been most extrusive. ?<Insie , drawing, use of the s !«H..*_ » s 'iVs , yes , of course , *' interrup ted Unole Barnabas. \But is it practical ? Can they teach?\ Eleanor looked dubious. I was quite cer- tain that I could not. Mwlnin e Lenoir , among an her list of accomplishments , had Tint included the art of practical tuition . '•Hump !\ grunted Uucle Barnabas. \A queer thing, this modern idea of education. Well , if you can ' t teach , 3011 can surely do something 1 VVhas do yon say, Eleanor , to a situation ?\ *'A situation? * The color lint tered in Eleanor ' s cheeks like pink and white apple blossoms . **I spoke p lain eni.ngH. didn ' t I ?\' said Uncle Barnabas , dry l y. \Yes , 11 situation . ?\ \What sort of a situation , Uncle Barna- bas ?\ \Well , I can hardly say. Pari servant , part companion to an elderl y lad y !\ ex- p lained the old gentleman. \0 . Uncle Barnabas , I couldn ' t da that. \ \Not do it ? A«il why not ?\ \It ' s too much— too mncli , \ whispered Eleanor , losing her regitf di gnity in the pres- sure of the emergency, \like going out to service . \ \And that is precisel y what it is. ' *' retort- ed Uncle Barnabas , nodding bia bead. [ service ! Wh y, we ' re all out at service , i in one way or another , in this world <\ ! ' \Oh , yes , I know , \ faltered poor Eleanor , who , between; her distaste for the proposed p lan and her anxiety not to offend Uncle Barnabas Berkelin , didn 't quite know what to say. \But I—I' ve always been educated to be a lad y. \ \So you won 't take the situation , eh !\ said Uncle Barnabas , staring up at a wishy- washy little water color drawing of Cup id and Psych e , an \ exhibition p iece \ of poor Eleanor ' s which hung above the chimney p iece. \I couldn 't , indeed , sir. \ \Wages twent y-five dollars a raonth , \ mechanicall y repeated Uncl e Barnabas , as if he were saying off a lesson. \Drive cut- in the carriage every day with the missus , cat mid and canary to take care of , modern hou«e , with all the improvements , Sunday afternoon to yoursel f , and two weeks , spring and fal l , to visit , your mother. \ ^ \No Uucle Barnabas , no , \ said Eleanor , with a little shudder. \I am a true B erke- lin , and I cannot stoop to menial duties. \ Uucle Barnabas gave such a prolonged sniff as to suggest the idea of a very bad cold in his head , indeed. \Sorry said he. \Heaven hel ps those who hel p themselves , and you cau ' t expect me to be any more liberal minded than Heaven. Sister Rachel , \ to my mother , \ what do you say ?\ My mother drew her pretty little fi gure up a trifle more erect than usual. \I think my daug hter Eleanor is quifc<; riaht . \ said she. \The Berkelius have al- ways been ladies. \ I bad sat quite silen t , still with my chin in my hands , during all this famil y discus- sion ; but now I rose np and came creep ing to TJnele Barnabas ' s side. \Well , littl e Susy, \ said the old gentle- man , laying his hand kindl y on my wrist , what, is is it ?\ \If you p lease , Uncle Barnabas , \ sai d I with a rapidl y throbbing heart , \I would like to take the situation. \ \Bravo !\ cried Un cle Barnabas. \My dear child !\ exclaimed my mother. -,J.!£iw< - >>!i 'd , '\ .ji i^ b y no means laudatory. \Yes , \ said I. \Twenty-live dollars a mouth is a great deal of money, and I was never afrai d of work. I think I will go to the old lady, Uncle. I' m sure I could send home at least twent y dollars a mouth to mother and Eleanor , and then the two weeks , spring and fall , would be so nice ! Please , Uncle Barnabas , I'll go back with you , when you go. TVhat is the old lad y ' s name?\ ' . 'Her name?\ said Uncle Barnabas. \Didn 't I tell you ? It' s Prudence—Mrs . Prudence !\ \What a nice name !\ said I , \I know I shall like her. \ \Well , I think you will , \ said TJnele Bar- nabas , ' looking kindl y at me, \And I think she will like you. Is it a bargain for the nine o ' clock train to-morrow morning ?\ \Yes , \ I answere d , stoutly, taking care not to look in the direction of my mother and Eleanor. \Y.-u ' re the most sensible of the lot , \ said Uncl e Barnabas , approvingl y. But after be bad gone to bed in the best chamber , where the ruffled p illow cases were , and the .jhintz-enshioned easy chai r , the full strength of the family tongue broke on my devoted head. \I can ' t help it , \ quoth T , holding valiant- l y to ray colors. \We can 't starve. Some of us must do something. And you can live very nicel y, mother , darling, on twent y dol- lars a month. \ \That is true , \ si gned my moth er from behind her black-bordered pocket handker- chief , \But I never thoug ht to see a daug h- ter of mine going out to—to service !\ •'And Uucle Barnabas isn 't going to do any thing for us , after all , \ cried out Elea- nor , indignantl y. \Stiupry old fellow ; I should think he mi g ht at least adop t one of us ! He ' s as rich , as CrcssnS , and never a chick or a child. \ \* »•- \He may do as he likes about that , \ I answere d independently. I prefer to earn my own money. \ So the next morning I set out for the un- known bourn of New York life. \Uncl e Barnabas , ' 1 said I , as the train reached the city, \how shall I find where Mrs. Prudence lives ?\ \Oh , I'll go there with you , \ said he. \Are you well acquainted with her ?\ I venture 1 to ask . \Oh , very well indeed V\ replied Uncle Barnabas , nodding his head approving l y. We took a carriage at the depot and drove through so many streets that my bead spun aroiuui and around like a tee-totuni , before we stopped at a pretty, brown mausion—it looked like a palace , to my unaccustomed eves—and Uncle Barnabas hel ped me out. \Here is where Mrs . Prudence lives , ' said he , with a chnokle, A neat little maid , with a frilled white apro n and rose-colored ribbons in her hair , opened the door with a courtesy, and I was conducted into an elegant apartment , all gilding, exotica ' and blue satin damask , when a p lump old lady, dressed in black silk , with the loveliest Valenciennes lace at throat and wrists , cams smilingl y forward , like a sixty-year ola sunbeam. \So you ' ve come b^ck , Barnabas , have you , \ said she. \An d broug ht one of the dear girls with you. Come and kiss me , my dear. \ \Yes , Susy, kiss your aunt , \ said Uncle Barnabas; fingering his hafc one way and his g loves another , as he sat comp lacentv down on the sofa. ; \My auiifc ?\ Lechoed. \Why of course , \ said the p lump old lad y. \Don 't you know ? I' m your Aunt Prudence. \ \But I thought , \ gasped I , in bewilder- ment , \that I was coming to a situation !\ \Well , so you are , \ retorted Uncle Bar- nabas. \Th e situation of adopted daugh - ter in my family. Twenty-five d ollars a month pocket money—the care of Aunt Prudence ' s eat and canary ! And to make yoursel f generall y useful !\ \Oh ! uncle , \ cried I. \Eleanor would have been so glad to come if she had known it !\ \Piddlestrings and little fishes !\ illog i call y responded my Uncle Barnabas . \I' ve no patience with a, g irl that' s too fine to wovk. Eleanor had the situation offered her , and she chose to decline. You decided to come , and here you stay ! Ping the bell Prue , and order tea , for I' m as hungry as a hunter , and I dare say little Susy here would relish a cap of tea !\ And this was the way I drifted into my luxurious home. Eleanor in the country cottage envies me bitfceiTy, for she has all the tastes which wealth and a metropolitan home can gratif y. But TJnele Barnabas will not hear of my exchang ing with lier , \No , no !\ says he. \The girl I' ve got is the g irl I mean to keep. Miss Eleanor is too fine a lad y to suit me. But he lets me send them liberal presents every mouth y and so I am happy. iH _ L>—«^» I IMI..I Was Lincoln Evcr a Catholic? iFroin the Catholic Review.} jVE. J. E.

We came to speak of pol i tical events and of the assassinaton of President Lincoln , and we were not a little surprised to hear M gr.

But in his youth he was baptized by a Catholic missionary of Illinois , and I myselt heard his confession many times. I frequentl y celebrated holy mass in the house- of his parents. Later in life he asp ired to honors , he m arried a Pres- byterian and he became a member of the Masonic society. We felt it a duty to break off our relations. \ \We confess , \ says M. Martin , that we did not at all expect this revelation , the authenticity of which we guarantee upon , the testimony of Mgr. Le- fevre , and Americans need not h ave the least doubt that they have nominated a Catholic for president. But Lincoln did as many others havo done , he abandoned a re- li g ion he had freel y embraced upon serious examination , and , to arrive at fortune and position , he became an apostate and an in- fidel. \ W EATHER S IGXS . —The editor of the Gal- latin (Tonu.) ^Examiner contributes the fol- lowing to the large stock of weather si gns: \For more thad twenty-five years we have known a si gn b y which to determine the probability of rai n for th ' at day, which we have not seen fail in a single instance , and we publish it that others may verify its cer- tainty if'they choose , - Go out earl y in the morning, in the S pring, Summer and Fall , and if sp iders have over ni g ht woven their fresh weli s over the grass and about the feiiceT^ -|d bushes , set it down for a fair day, eveia if it looks like rain will pour down in live minutes .

DEATH OF THE VENERART.E PRIEST OF SHINNECOCK HILLS. MILLKRISM AMONG THE INDIANS OP SOUTH- AMPTON—HOW A STRANGE WOMAN BROKE UP A CHURCH AND CONVE RTED A MINISTER. S OUTHAMPTON , L. T., Dec. 3d. —Within a distance of two miles from this interesting hamlet , one of thu oldest , if not the oldest , English settlements on Long Island , are the Shinneeock Hills , overlooking the ocean , and stretching fro m the outer limits of the village down to where the isthmus on which Canoe Place stands , divides the t ' ireat Pe- conic from Shinneeock Bay. On these hills dwell the meagre remnant of the once proud tribe of Shinnecocks. They are now Indian s onl y in name , and number but 200 souls. About thirty years ago there came among them a fug itive slave from South Carolina , who was not long in making himself popu- lar with them , and in cours e of time he be- came their minister. In the past third of a century he filled a large space in the un- written pages of the history of the tribe. He was a remarkable character and has just departed for a better land. James E. Lee , better known as \Priest Lee , \ ran away from South Carolina in slavery days , leaving ' a wife and children behind him. Pie hoped that in the ever changing course of events he might some day be enabled to return to his Southern home , reclaim his loved ones , and pass the remainder of his life with them , unawed by fear of overseer ' s whi p, and secure in the feeling that no trader would ever sell him from the block. Years rolled on , and little by littl e his dim hopes faded , and then they died out altogether , when one day he learn- ed that Lift wife and children had long been separated , and that she had been dead for two or three years. BEGINNING A NEW LIFE. Time heals all things. Lee emerged gradually from the depth s of gloom into which his crushing grief had cast him , and founu \ l lTi ' eiKls7TTe^rTfere \ d with fresh vi gor, upon the labor of life. Firs t he taug ht himself to read , and became the best soliol- al on the reservation. Then he took to himself a wife , the sister of Luther and David Bnmi , the two chiefs of the Shinne- cocks ; and while industriousl y engaged in providing b y manual labor for the support of his household , found time to make a close study of the Bible. He saw its truths by the dim , uncertain ligh t of ignorant en- thusiasm , but to him they were all as p lain as day ; and the mysteries of prop hecy he though t lie read with eyes strengthened by insp iration. He began to preach , and as a sp iritual guide waxed stronger a ' nd strong - er in the affections of his peop le , who b y unanimous consent had by this time made him on honored member of the tribe. It must not be inferred that Priest Lee had developed into a prodigy of learning. He had not attempted to master the abtruse puilosop h ' y of the schools ; lie bail never hoard of the Fathers of the Church ; and his knowled ge of the systems was confined to a vague notion of a difference between the Calvinistic doctrine and that of Theo- dore Parker. But his people believed hi in to bo a paragon of learning, and his exege- sis of a scri p tural 2'oint was never question- ed. He was a kindl y old man , and like an- other preacher whom the poet has immor- talized : Whoa religious sects ran mad , lie nelil , In spite of all his learning, That when a man ' s belief Is bad , It will not Ue iiitprovccl uy burning ; but sough t by prayer to bring the heretic to a saving knowled ge of the truth as lie saw it. A STRANGE 'WOMAN APPEARS. Ten or twelve years ago the serenit y of the Shinneeock atmosp here was disturbed by the coming of a strange woman , who es- sayed to convert the peop le to a belief in the doctrines of the Millerites. Her pres- ence annoyed the good priest Lee ; but un- til she began to hold meetings jnst outside the church iu which he was preaching, he made no attempt to combat her arguments. Before lonfr he fount! liia congregation growing small by degrees , until one Sunday he preached to a handful of faithful heavers a scathing sermon agains t false prop hets. This , to his dismay, did not have the desir- ed effect , for on the following Sunday there was not a sonl in the house save hiinself . liis wife , and his son. Slowl y and sadly he put away his Bible , aud walked out into the field where the strange woman wss preach- ing to the open mouthed Shinnecocks. He listened , and became a convert. When tho next Sunday came tho church seats were filled , for it had been noised abroad in the reservation that Priest Lee had become a Millerite. He announced his text in this wise : \Brufeheren aud sisters , I have experien- ced a change in roy belief. Think not hard of me , my hearers , for him what don ' t change some of his op inions don ' t kreck none of his mistakes. Listen now , whilst I talk unto yon from tho fo ' th verse of the third chrfpter of Collisions : When Christ who air our life shell appear , then shell yo also appear with bim in g lory. \ He preached from this a sermon bristling- all over with points of log ic , and fragrant throughout with such flowers of rhetoric as could have grown onl y on the storm-swept hills of Shinneeock. Of course not all the peop le on the reser- vation were church-goers. \ Many of them , indeed , were scoffers , aud to these the sud- den conversion of Priest Lee to what they considered a ridiculous faith was a subject for much sport. There was about an equal division among the peop le. The believers clung to the priest ; the unbelievers stayed away from clinch , cracked their jokes , and no more thoug ht.of a millennium near at hand than of a midni g ht raid upon the hills b y a school of righ t whales from the North Pacific. \Never mind , my brutheren , '' said Priest Lee , \the toofcin ' of rams ' horns broke down the walls of Jericho , an ' I oale 'late as how our pra ' rs '11 bring thesesinners to God afore the angel Gabriel blows his ' n. \ So he went on with his pvenching . THE STRANGE WOMAN AGAIN. One day the strange woman paid another visit to the Indian reservation. \T yre stood in a liti gious peace. \ but there were heart- burnings here , and ill-feelings there , and a state of unp leasantness everywhere , Wife was against husband , son against father , daug hter against mother—all on the second advent question—and an open war seemed imminent. But when the Millerite woman gave notice that the world was to end in fifteen days , Priest Lee took his followers out. among the unbelievers and made each aud every-one of them offer full and free forg iveness for all wrongs received , and the bickering ceased. Forthwith the believers began to make prej^arations for receiving the angel of the Lord and for undertaking their upward fli ght to the happy land. The appointed clay arrived, It was the hottest of the year. The Millerites , band in hand , all in white garments , but bare- footed , marched down to the grassy mead- ows below the hills , sing ing as they went. The silent scoffers remained on the upland watching their friends and neighbors de- pjirk The grass was about a foot hi g h , and meadow , and the sun ' s ray s p 6urect \~ ao \ wn upon the strange gathering with blazing in- tensity. After a song, and a few words from Parson Lee , the peop le stretched themselves upon the grass to await the an» gel' s coming. One by one they dropped asleep. The scoffers on the up land had bided their time , aud now it had come. Three or four wicked Shinneeock boys were sent down to the meadow withlucifers and in a few moments the arid grass was blazing in a dozen p laces. It chanced that the flames first reached Parson Lee ' s oufe- stretclieu feot. He drew tlieni up and went on dreaming. They crept closer and closer and his dreams were rudel y broken. He made a spring into the air . looked wildl y around bim , and saw nothing but a sea of fire surrounding him and his followers. Throwing his hands up and dancing about in the burning grass like a dervish , h e yell- ed at the top of his voice , - \Arouse ye my brethren. The end liav e come and we are all in hell , jest as I expected. \ Everybody was up in a second , and every bod y was ter^ ribl y soared. All rushed for the space al- read y burnt over , and as no one was more than scorched , and as all were now wide- awake , the nature of their terrible danger was made apparent . They held a short con- sultation and walked silentl y and dejected- l y up to the hills to receive the jeers and g ibes of (lie scoffers they had left behind. This ludicrous adventure did not tend in lho leas t to swerve priest Lee from what h<< believed to be tho line of truth. He taug ht the earl y coming of the millennium as be- fore , and continued to teach it until yester- day , when he passed quietl y away in hia, ei^ liiv fourth vear. —JV T .

Mark my melodious midnight moans ; Much may my melting music mean. My modulated monotones. My mandolin ' s mila minstrelsy, My mental music magazine , My mouth , my mind , my memory, Must mingling murmur 'Madeline. ' Muster ' mid midnignt masquerades , Mark Moorish maidens , matron ' s mien , *Mongi;t Mnrcia * 3 most majestic maids , Match me my matchless Madeline. Mankind' s malevclance may make Much melancholy music mine ; Many my motives may mistake , My moJest merits much malign. My Madelmo ' i most mirthful mood Much mollilles my mind' s machine ; >Jy mourn ' ulness ' s magnitude Melts , —makes me merry, Madeline ! Matchmaking ma ' s may machinate , Manoeuvring misses me misweea ; Mere rmney may maSte many mate , My magic motto ' s— 'Madeline !\ Melt , most mellifluous mel ody, 'Midst Murcia ' s mis'y mounts marine , Meet me by moonlight—marry me , Madonna mia !—Madeline.
