A Good Story In Four Chapter*. OIUPTBK I. The Thirty Years' War was over, and Ger- many rested from blood. Two years tifter tho peace a young man was living in one of the uurrowoBt »ml llltbiest lanca of Hamburg-. No one visited him, and all that the people of the house knew of him, was that for the most part ot every day he played his violincello with such skill and expression, that they .thronged round nib door to catch the music. His custom was to go out about midday and dine in a low rcutau- runt frequented by beggars; for the rest he would u;o out in the twilight with something under his Hhabby ' cloak, and it was always noted that ho paid his bills tho day after an ex- Inbilion. This hud not escaped the curiosity of Mistress Johannsen, his landlady, an* having quii'Uy followed him one evening, he stopped, Io her dismay, at tho shop of a well-known pawn-broker. ' It was all plain now, and the good-iKitured woman determined to help him, A few diiya after she tapped at ltis door, and was tilled with pity to find nothing in his room but li.tr own Hcanty furniture. All the rest had been removed, save the well-known violiucello, which stood in the corner of tho window, whilst the young man sat in tho opposite window- corner, hi* head buriod in his hands. \iMr. Nottinark,\ said tho landlady, \don't tako it. ill that I should make HO free 'as to visit you; but us you have not left the house for two day*, and wo have had no music, I thought you might-bo sick. If I could do anything—\ \Thank you, my good woman,\ he answered wearily, and with a sad gratitude iu his tone. \1 urn not confined to bed, and 1 have no fever- but. I am ill—very ill.\ \.Surely then, you ought to go to bed.\ \No he replied quickly, and blushed deeply. \Oh but you must,\ criod Mistress Johanu- H<MI boldly. \Now just allow mo. I'm an mid 1 will fust ace if your bed in all right \ *\ ' \Pray don't trouble yourself, \ he replied, and sprung up quickly before tho bed room It was loo late, however; for the good wo- man had already seen that, there was nothing but a bag of straw, and that sa me shabby ninn* tin in which he m:tdu the eveuing jounu-V*. \My good woman,\ said Neumark quickly, \you are perhaps afraid that I will not pay the next rent ; but make yourself easy ; I am poor, but honorable. It is sometimes hard enough, but I have never been left destitute yet.\ \Mr. Neumark,\ she replied, with some hesitation, and, after mustering all her courage, 1 'we have little ourselves, but sometimes more than enough, as, for instance, to-day; and, as you have not been out, if you would allow The young man colored deeply again, rose from his seat, walked up and down the room, and then, with apparent effort said, \You are right; I have not eaten to-day ; I—\ Without waiting for another word, the land- lady had left the room, and in a few minutes returned laden with dinner. \You must not take it ill,\ she began, when dinner was over; \but you are surely not a native of our town. Do you not know any one here ?\ \No one. I am a stranger, and you are the first person that lias spoken to me kindly. May God bless you.\ \Well now, if it would not be rude, I would liko to ask you some questions. Who are you ? What is your business?—Aro vou a musician ? Are your parents alive ? What are you doing in Hamburg?\ Breathless rather than exhausted, she stop- ped, and the young man, smiling at his good- natured catecbist, began: \My name is George Neumark ; my parents were poor townsfolk of Mulhousen, and are both dead ; I was born there nine and twenty years ago on the 16th of March, 1851 ; there has been hard times ever since, and I have to eat, and often first to seek, my daily bread with tears; yet I must not be impatient and murmur and sin against the Lord my Qod ; I know that he will help me at the last.\ \But how do you think to get your living?\ interrupted tho landlady. \I studied jurisprudence ; and there I fear I made a fatal mistake, since by disposition and love to my Saviour I am a man of peace, and cannot take to these quarrels and processes. Had I understood my God's will, when 1 com- menced these studies, it had been better. But to continue my story: For ten years I suffered hunger and thirst enough at the Latin school of Schleusingen, a little town in the neighbor- hood of my birthplace, iwhere I learned that wisdom of this world wnl not bring me bread. Then, at two-and twenW, I went to Konigs- berg to study law, but tied from the hideous strife that wasted my fatherland. I avoided the horrors of war, bu^nl y to fall in tho equal horror of fire, and^toon lost by the flames all I had, to the last farthing, and was a beggar.\ \My poor man! Did not that leave you in despair?\ \I won't appear better than I was ; and as I strove in the great city, without friend to help, my heart sunk ; but the dear God had mercy on me, and if I bore the cross, I lived well in body and soul.\ \And did you remain in Konigsberg till you came here?\ I beloved violincello and rushed out of the shop. | \Stop Btop, young man,\ cried the Jew ; j trade is trade. I will give you one pound.\ ' \Thirty shillings, Nathan. To morrow ; must pay one pound, and how am I to live ' Have mercy.\ \I have aworn that I will not give thirty shillings; but, out of old friendship, I will give you five-and-twenty ; that is (you will note,) with a penny interest on every florin for eight days, and for the next week two- g y, k wo pence, and if you cannot pay me then, it Ii mine. Now, what am I to do with thi piece of wood?\ \It i hard; b y on me I \He is a good and faithful Qod—the God of my fathers, and he helped me much, or I could not afford to lose by such bargains as this.— Twelve pence and fudtt k p, you ano t pay , mine. Now, what am I to do with this great iece of wood?\ \It is hard; but I must submit. Slay God ve mercy on me I\ \No he answered, sighing heavily. \After live years I went to Danzig, in the hope of earning bread there, and finding that a false hope, went to Thorn, and there succeeded be- yond my expectation. God brought to me many a dear good soul, that took me for friend and brother. But for all that I could find no official position, and so I determined at last to seek in my native town what was denied me elsewhere. Hamburg lay in my way, and aa 1 passed through it a voice seemed to say to me, 'Abide here, and God will supply thee.'— But it must have been the voice of my own will, for you know now that things are not bright with me here.\ \But tell me,\ said' the landlady, \what office do you seek?\ \Kit were God's will, I could earn my bread scrivening, or a clerkship of any sort.\ \Then you are not a musician ?\ \Well I am, and I am not. I can play a little, but for my pleasure, not to win bread.— This violin is my only friend in the world.\ \But how do you live?\ u My good woman,\ said he, with a faint smile, \ I could tell you much of the wonderful goodness and mercy of God to me in all my misery. It is true that I have now nothing left but this dear old violin. But you know Mr. Siebert ? Ho has a clerkship vacant, and ho is to answer my application to-day. I bclievo it is time for me to -be with him, BO you must excuse me.\ . CIIAPTEIt II. Nathan Hirsch, the Jew pawn broker, chvelt in one of the narrow, crooked lanes that led down to the harbor. Ho listened from mor- ning till night to the music of the steps that crossed his threshold. Late ono evening a young man in a shabby cloak entered the musty shop. \Good evening, Mr. Neumark,\ said the Jew. \What brings you so late?—Have you no patience till the morning?\ \No Nathan; if I had waited till the mor- ning, perhaps I had not come at all. What will you give me for this violiucello ?\ \Now what am I to do with this great fiddle V drawled the Jew. \That you know perfectly well, N.athan.— Put it in the corner there behind the clothes, where no one will see it. Now, what will you ! give me fur it ?\ I Nathan took it up, examined it on every side, ! and said, as he laid it down : | \What will I give you? Is it for two-pence ! worth of wood and it couple of old strings ? I > have seen fiddles of silver and raotlier-of-pearl; j but there is nothing here but lumber.\ | \Hear me, said Neumark. \Full five years j long I hoarded, farthing by farthing, full'five I years I suffered hunger and pein, before I had the five pounds that bought this instrument.— Lend me two on it. You shall have throe should I ever redeem it.\ The Jow flung up his bauds. \Two pounds! Hear him'! Two pounds for a penny worth of wood! What am I to do with it, if you don't redeem it?\ \Nathan!\—and tho young man spoke low and strong—\you don't know how my whole soul is in this violin. ~ It is my last earthly comfort, my only earthly friend. I tell thee, I might almost as well pawn my soul as it.— Wouldst thou have my soul ?\ \Why not.? If you did not redeem it, it would be mine. But what would the Jew do with your soul?\ \Hush Jew. Yet the fault was my own. The Saviour whom thy people crucified hits redeemed my soul, and I am his. I apoke in the lightness of despair. But I am his, and he will never sutler me to want. It is hard when I must sacrifice the last and dearest. But he will help me. I will pay thee back.\ \Young man, you will not deceive me with these vain hopes. The last time, did you not, tell me that a rich merchant would help you?\ \Siebert/ Yes. 1 went to him at his own hour, and lie said I came too late; the place was given to another. Am I to bear the penalty of the conduct of others?\ 1> I deal with you, and not with others,\ re- turned tho Jow coldly. \Take your great iiddic away.\ \Nathan you know I am a stranger hero. Kemember when you wore a stranger, and the Christian helped the Jew. I know no one but you. (Jive me but thirty shilling.\ \Thirty shillings ! liave I not snid already that no merchant can give thirty shillings for & penny worth of wood.'\ \Thou art n hard nnd cruel man.\ And with these words Ncumaik jnotcbe..} up bis Twelve pence and four-and-twenty pence make six-and-thirty. I may as well take it off the five-and-twenty shillings. It will save you bringing it back here.\ Neumark made no answer. He was gazing at his violincello, while the tears rolled silently down his cheeks. \Nathan I have but one request. You don'» know how hard it is to part from thnt violin. For ten years we have been together. If I have nothing, I have it; at the worst it spoke I to me, and sung back all my courage and hope. | Ten times rather would I give my heart's blood I than this beloved comforter. Of all the sad hearts that have left your door, there has been none so sad as mine.\ His voice grew thick, and he paused fc mon;.nt. \Just this one favor you must do me, Na- than ; to let me play once more upon my violin.\ And he hurried to it without waiting for an answer. \Hold !\ cried the Jew, in a paasion; \the shop should have been closed an hour ago, but for you and your fiddle. Come to-morrow, or better yet, not at all.\ \No—to-day—now returned Neumark, \ I must say farewell,\ and seizing the instru- ment and half embracing it, he sat down on an old chest in tho middle of the shop, and be- gan a tune so exquisitely soft that the Jew listened in spite of himself. A few more strains, and he sung to his own melody two stanzas of the hymn— \ LHo is weary, Saviour taka mo.' \Enough enough,\ broke in the Jew.— \What is the use of all this lamentation? You have five-and-twenty shillings inyonr pocket.\ But the musician was deaf. Absorbed in his own thoughts, he played on. Suddenly the key changed, A few bars, and melody pour- ed itself anew; but, like a river which runs in- to the sunshine out of the shade of sullen banks, he sung louder, and his face lighted up with happy smiles— '• Yot, who knows t Tho crons is precious.\ That's better, Stick by that,\ shouted the Jew. And don't forget that you have five- and twenty shillings in your pocket. Now, then, in a fortnight the thing is mine if you have not redeemed it.\ And he turned aside, muttering mechaninally, \but what am I to do with a great piece of lumber wood ?\ Neumark laid his violin gently back to the I corner, and murmured, \. Utfiat dMna voluntas, as God will. I am still;\ aa0,.without a word of adieu, left the shop. I As he rushed out in the night, he stumbled i against a man who seemed to have been listen- ing to tho music at the door. \Pardon me, sir, but may I ask if it was you who played and sung so beautifully Just now ?\ \Yea said Neumark, hurriedly, and push- The stranger seized hold of his cloak. \Pardon me, I am but a poor man, but that hymn you sung has gone through my very soul. Could you tell me, perhaps,\ where I could get a copy ? I am only a servant, but I would give a florin to get this hymn—that was just written, I do believe for myself.\ \My good friend,\ replied Neumark, gently, \ I will willingly fulfill your wish without the florin. May I ask who you are?\ \John Gutig, at your service, and in the house of the Swedish Ambassador, Baron Von Rosenkranz.\ \Well como early to-morrow morning.— My name ia George Neumark; and you will find mo at Mistress Johannseu's, in the Crook- ed Lane. Goodnight.\ CIUPTKB in. One morning, about a week after this, Gutig paid a second visit to Mistress Johanaesen'a. Neumark received him kindly. \Perhaps sir, you will think what I am going to say foolish ; but I have prayed over it the whole night, aud I make so bold—\ * \ What is it a second copy of the hymn ? of course, you may have it with pleasure.\ \No no, sir; it is not that. I have the copy you gave me in my bible, to keep it bet- ter,; though if it were lost, 1 think I have it as well off as the Lord's Prayer and the Creed.— Bn*- yesterday—you won't take it ill ?\ \Never mind; goon.\ 1 ' Well, sir, the Ambassador has a Secretary that wrote all his letters. Yesterday he sud- denly left the house ; why, no nne knew; but we believe that the master found him in de- fault and let him easily off.« Yesterday even- ing aa I saw my Lord to bed, he said to me: \|Now that my Secretary is gone, I know* not where to look for as clever a one.\ Somehow your name came into my mind; for the Secre- tary lives itt ]tfee house, and is entertained at tho table, anA has one hundred crowns a year paid down. So I said, \ My Lord, I know someone—\\Youl\he cried and laughed; have you a Secretary among your friends!\ \No my Lord, said I; \ though I know him, I am much too humble to have him for a friend or acqnaiutuuee.\ So to make a long story short, I told him all—\ \All?\ interrupted Neumark. '• And that you mado my acquaintance on the door-steps of Nathan Hirscb, tho Jew Pawnbroker, where I'was pledging my violin?\ ', Yes, all that,\ replied Gutig ; and if I have done wrong I am very sorry ; only my heart was so full. My Lord was not offended, but bid me bring your hymn to see how you wrote. \ Writing uud poetry both admirable,\ he said, as he laid it down; \and if the young man would come at once I would seo; perhaps he might do.\ I wa3 uneasy afterwards lest yon n.ight bo hint, sir; and between that and i wishing that you might bo Secretaiy, I could scarcely wait for the morning. Tho Ambassa- dor likes an early visit, and if you would par- don me, sir, and think well of it, you might go to him at once.\ Neumark, instead of answering, walked up and down tho room. \Yes ho said to him- self, \the Lord's ways are surely wonderful\.— They that trust in the Lord shall not want any good thing.\ Then turning to tho servant \ God reward you for what you have done !— I shall go with you.\ The Ambassador received him kindly. \ You aro a poet, I see, by these verses. Do you compose hymns only V \Of tho poor,\ said Neumark, after a mo- ment's pause, \ it is written \ihr.irs is the k-!.i>}- dom of ftctivun,\ I never knew any one who wan rich ami enjoyed this world that had writ- ten a hymn. It i3 the cross tint presses such music ouV of us.\ Tho Ambassador looked surprised, but not displeased. \ But young man, your experience Is but narrow. Yot you might rembembcr that our King Gustavvis Adolphus, though ho lived in the state and glory of the throne, not only composed, but sung and played a right noble tini>ihut hymn. However, you are WHOLE KG* 569. poor, very poor, if my servant's account be correct. Has poverty madeyoucurse your life?\ \ I thank the Lord, never, never, though I have been near it. But he always kept the true place in my heart. Moreover, «be hm said, \ the pdor ye have always,\ and another time he called them blessed - f and was himself poor for oar sakes, and commanded the Gos - pel to be preached to the poor; and very poor, as the Apostle aays, may yat make many rich. It is not so hard, after all, to be reconciled with poverty.\ '' Gallantly answered, like-* man of ftlth.-. We may have opportouflty•** «pMk<of tint again. I hear that you have ttodted kw.

You may take your owtt-time, and when you are ready, knock at the next door.\ CHAPTER IV. Neumark left the hotel of the Ambassador that evening with a radiant face, and as he walked quickly through the streets, talked with himself, while a smile stole across his Hps. \Yes yes; leave God to order all the way Si * It was to Jew Nathan's that he took his way. \Give me my violencello,\ he cried. \Here are the five-and-twenty shillings, and a half crown more. You need not be so amazed. I know you well. You took advantage of my poverty, and had I been an hoar beyond the fortnight you would have pocketed the five pounds. Still, I thank you for the five-and- twenty shillings, but for them I must have left Hamburg a begger. Nor can I feel that yon did anything yourself, but were simply an in- strument in the hand of God. You know notic- ing of the joy that a Christian has in saving another, so I pay you in what coin you like best, an extra half crown. Here are the one pound seven and sixpence in hard money.— Only remember thia, \. Who truBt* in GodU nnchantf nB low, Bui Idi on the rock thnt magbt 5h.ll sSftrre « Seizing his violencello in triumph, Neomark swept homewards with hasty steps, never paus- ing till he reached his room, sat down and be- gan to play with such, a heavenly sweetness, that Mistress Johannsen rushed in nponhhn with such a storm of questions, all of whiea. he bore unheeding, and played and sang until hia landlady scarce knew if she was in heaven or on earth. ^ t \ Arc you there, good Mistress Johannsea?\ he said, when he had finished. \ Well, per- haps you will do me the kindness to call in aa many people as there are in the house and in the streets. Bring them all in. I will sing yon a hymn that you never heard before^ for I anv the happiest man in Hamburg. Go, dear, good woman; go bring me a congregation, and I will preach them a sermon on my violen- cello.\ In a few minutes the room WAS ML Then Neumark seized his bow, played a toff «two,. opened his mouth and sang: \Leave Goa to older alt thy nf*y«, An<} hope In Hla, wh»to'«f Wdo; Thoutt find Him In thy evil dayi An all sufficient strength and guide Who trusts in God's uuohansing love, Builds OQ the rock that n»ught can move. •'What can thnse amloni care* aral), That nuver-ceasing moans and sighs I What can It help us to b«wa» Rich painful moment M it files 1 Our cares »pd trouhlei do bat p*M The heavier for our WtWneM* ^ Only your reutlet* heart keep rtilt, And wait in cheerfn) hope content To take whato'er HU gracooa wlU HI* all-discerning lov. hath tent: No doubt our Inmct want* are known To Him who chose tu tot hU own. \lie know* when Joyful boo n are best.

The little audience stood In silent sympathy; but at last Mistress Johannsen could contain herself no longer. \ Dear, dear sir,\ she began, drying her eyes with her apron, for there iraa not a dry cheek in the crowd, \ that ia all like as if I tat in the :hurch, and forgot all my care, and thought of God in Heaven and Christ upon the cross. How has it all come about! You were so downcast this morning, and now you make my heart leap with joy; Has Qod been help- Ing you ?\ \Yes that he has, my dear graoiouB God and Father! All my need is over. Only think: I am Secretary to the Sweedish Am- bassador here in Hamburg, hare one hundred crowns a year; and to complete my happiness he gave five-and-twenty crowns in hand, so that I have redeemed my poor violin. Is not the Lord our God a wonderful and gracloua God? Yes, yes, my good people, ~Mature]\tf this, -HB^ \Who tro»Ul»Ood'« unchanging lore* Builda on a rock that naught can move.\ This beautiful hymn, where did you find it, sir, if I may make so bold t For I know oil the hymn-book by heart, bat not this. D o -on make it yourself?\ \If Well, yes, I am the instrament--the harp ; but God swept the strings. All I knew was this: 'Who trusts in God's unlehanging love;' these words lay like a soft burden on my heart. I went over them again and again, and so they shaped themselves into this song. How, I cannot tell. I began to stag and pray for joy, and my soul blessed the I*MHJ, »nd word followed word like water from fc fountain.— 'Stop,' he cried; 'listen once mopo: \ Nor ia the heat of pain and itrlfe Think Qid hath east the off unheard: Nor that the man whose pnxperoua Ufa Thou envies t, Is of Him preferred; Time pa-en and much thanxe doth WloftV And set* a bound to everything • _ \All ore alike before bliftMse; * •Tin easy to our God Moat High To make tho rich man poor ana base, To give the poor man wealth and ' True wonders still of htm are wtou, Who settetu up aud brings to naugl '•Sing, pray, and tworve not fn Hut do thine own part fclthft:' Trust his rich promises of gra^n So shall it bo fuelled in V%t?'
