WHO at danger never laughed, Let him ride upon a raft O'er the roar of the raging stream. He shall find his life-blood leaping When the strife has reached its height, Nor any others that could be, [PRICE TEN CENTS. Thrice a hundred logs together Watching the course of the rushing sluice From the top of the dirt-floored, rough caboose. Well it is, in the seething hiss Of a boiling, foaming flood like this, Off each raftsman then would go And the torrent quick would bear him Hither the logs would go, and thither; Now we pass the hills that throw Then they, lest we leap among them, Fields of maize, and wheat, and rye; Out with lines, make fast, and rest On the broad Ohio's breast. Where's the fiddle? Boys, be gay! THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH. LADY SWEETAPPLE; OR, THREE TO ONE. BY THE AUTHOR OF "ANNALS OF AN EVENTFUL LIFE." CHAPTER XI. FIVE-O'CLOCK TEA AT HIGH BEECH. it is only persons of very serene and happy dispositions who can, at any rate in after-life, drink tea except at breakfast. And so far do we carry this conviction that we never ask if So-and-so is happy with his family, or his family with him, but simply, "Do they drink tea regularly every night?" and, if the answer is "Yes," we ask nothing more, for nothing more is needed to prove that they must be a most happy and united family. So that you see there may be morality in a tea-pot, after all. Yes, there Mrs. Barker sat, so sleek and smooth in her black silk, and her hair-her own hair-so nicely braided over her brow, all wrinkled though it was, looking straight at Colonel Barker, and devouring him just as much as, according to Florry Carlton, widows were wont to devour young men by their eyes. No doubt, what was passing in her mind was, that there never was such an onslaught since the siege of Troy as that escalade of the Ram Chowdah's hill-fort, nor any such warrior, Achilles himself not excepted, as Colonel Barker. In this faith she was profoundly happy, because it admitted to her mind no manner of doubt. Colonel Barker was her ideal. He filled up the measure of her imagination and ran over, and there was no room in it for any other idol. Happy Colonel Barker! and still more happy Mrs. Barker! WHEN the young ladies went down, they found the whole party, except the missing Marjorams, assembled round a five-o'clock tea-table, though it was nearer six. Lady Sweetapple was talking in an animated way to Sir Thomas on the beauties of High Beech, and expatiating on the lovely view to be seen from the Butterfly-room. Mr. Beeswing was relating some London gossip to Lady Carlton, with which we will not trouble our readers. Harry Fortescue and Edward Vernon were listening to one of Colonel Barker's long stories; for he had already before tea-time, on the terrace, led the forlorn hope against the inevitable Ram Chowdah, and had not half sacked his hill-fort when they were summoned in to tea. Mrs. Barker sat bolt upright at the table, enjoying her tea much more than the rest; for she was one of those good and even-minded people who can drink tea at all hours with impunity. And here let us remark that it is only very good people who can drink tea for a continuance in the afternoon or at night. We have the greatest respect for the temperance movement, as is well known; but we say boldly that no one with a bad conscience can drink tea at night. Even those with good consciences know what it is to toss all night through because they have had a cup of green tea insidiously given to them; but add a bad conscience and an uneasy mind to a cup of green tea, or, to express it more neatly, only pour a cup of green tea on an aching heart, and you shall have such a succession of nightmares and little apoplexies all through the night as will make you pray most devoutly for the morning. No, Perhaps some of you may think it ridiculous that a woman past fifty should adoreyes, adore, that is the word—a man over sixty. That only shows what silly young folk some of you are, at least. Do you not see that it is enough for the human heart, that if a thing should have been once loved, to love it forever? With perfect affection like that which existed between Colonel and Mrs. Barker, there was no room for any change. They had loved one another young, and they loved one another now; and time, if it brought any alteration, merely increased their affection, for it made them rely more and more on each other for moral support. They may chaff me," said Colonel Barker to himself when young men mocked at him, as rude young men sometimes would do for his stories, and even for that sacred one of the Ram Chowdah, "they may chaff me, but Mrs. Barker likes to hear them. That's quite enough for me." "There are no stories like Colonel Barker's, my dear," Mrs. Barker used to say to her gossips over cup after cup of that tea which it was her pride and privilege to be able to drink. "No, really none; so full of point and fire, and quite different from the silly stories in which the rising generation delight." It mattered not that Colonel Barker was rather short, fat, and pursy; that it was some time since he had seen his knees; that his head was bald, his nose red, and his features generally rubicund; that is to say, it mattered not in the least to Mrs. Barker, for she remembered the days when he was as slim and neat an officer as any in the service. Nor did it matter in the least to Colonel Barker that Mrs. Barker's face was wrinkled, that her figure was very bad, that her hands were red, and her neck withered; for he had still in his eye the day when the daughter of the Com |
