PTTBIJSHED BT THK KYAN'SYILLE JOURNAL COMPAXT, No. 6 Locust Street, F.nsIH. TUESDAY .APRIL 0, ist. How to Talfc Be Short. BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE. I know one Saint. We will hpr Agatha. T used to think Call she could be painted for Mary. Mother, her face is o papsiouless and pure nnd pood. T used to want to make her -rapa bine cloth round her head, as if she were in a picture I have a print nf, and theD, if we could only h ;ntfr who wan as pure and food !he, she should be painted am Marv Mother. Well, this sweet baint has done lovelv things in life, and will do more, till she dies. And the people she dals with do many more than she. For her truth and gentleness and loveliness pass into them, and inspire them, and then, with the light. and life they cain from her. they can do what, with her light and life, she cannot do. For she herself, like all of us, has her limitations. And I supnose the one reason why, with such serenitv and onerey and loncsufferine and unselfishness as hers. she does not succeed better in her own person is that sb does not know how to " he short." We cannot, all be or do all things. First boy in Latin, vou may translate that sentence back into Latin, and see how much better it. sounds there than in Jnelisli Then send your version to the letterhoT. For instance, it may be Agatha's dutv to come and tell me that what shall we have it? sav that dinner ready. Now really the best way but one to say that is,, "Dinner is ready. sir." The best way is. "Dinner, sir; for this sore, observe, loves to omit th verb. Let it. But really it St. Aea tha. of whom I speak the second o that name, and of the Protestant, no the Roman Canon had this to say she would say: "I am so glad to see vou! T do Dot want to take your time. I am sure, vou have so many thines to do, and you. are so good to everybody, but I knew you would let me tell you this. I was coming up stairs and 1 saw your cook, Florence you know. 1 always knew her; sn used to live at Mrs. Cradock's befor she started on her journey; an her sister lived with that frien of mine that 1 visited the summer . AVillie was so sick with the mump and she was so kind to him She was a beautiful woman; her husband would be away all the day, and when he came home she would have a piece of mince pie for him, and his slippers warmed and in front of the fire for him; and, when he was in Cayenne, he died, and they brought his body home in a ship Frederic Marsters was the C-iptain of. It was there that I met Florence's sister not so prettv as Florence, but. I think, a nice girl. She is married no', and lives at Ashland, and has two nice children, a boy and a girl. They are coming to see us at Thanksgiving. I was so glad to see that Florence was with you, and I did not know it when I came in, and, when I met her in the entry, I was very much surprised, and she saw I was comincr in here, and she said ' Please, will you tell him that dinner is ready?,, Now it is not simply, you see, that, while an announcement of that nature goj3 on, the mutton grows cold, your wife prows tired, the children grow cross, and that the subjugation of the worll in general is set back, so far as you are all concerned, a perceptible space of time on The Great Dial. Put the tale itself has a wearing and wearying perplexity about it. At the end you doubt if it is your dinner that is ready, or Fred Marster's, or Florence's, or nobody's. Whether there is acy real dinner, you doubt. For want of a vigorous nominative case, firmly governing the verb, whether that verb is seen or not, or because this firm nominative is masked and disguised behind clouds of drapery and other rubbish, the best of stories, thus told, loses all life, interest and power. Leave out then, resolutely. First . omit "Speaking of hides," or " That reminds me of." or "What you say suggests," or " You may thinic of," or any such introductions, )f course you remember what you are saying. You could not say it if you did, not remember it. It is to be hoped, too, that you are thinking what you are saying. If you are not, you will not help the matter by saying you are, no matter if the conversation do have firm and sharp edces. Conversation is not an essay. It has a right to many large letters, any many new paragraphs. That is what makes it so much more interesting than long, close paragraphs like this, which the printers hate as much as I do, and which they call "solid matter" as if to indicate that, in proportion, such paragraphs are apt to lack the light", ethereal spirit of all life Second, in conversation, you need not give authorities, if it be only clear that you are not pretending originality. !Do not say, as deir Pemberton used to, "I have a book at home, which I bought at the sale of Byles's books, in which there is an account of Parry's first voyage, and an explanation of the red snow, which shows that the red snow is," &c, &c, &c. Instead of this say, " Bed snow is," &c, &c. Sec. Nobody will think you are producing this as a discovery of your own. When the authority is asked for. there will be a fit time for you to tell. Third, never explain, unless from extreme necessity, who people are. Let them come in, as they do at the play, when you have no play-bill. If what you say is otherwise intelligible, the hearers will find it out, if it is necessary, as, perhaps, it may not be. Go back, if you please, to my account of Agatha, and see how much sooner we should all have come to dinner it she had not tried to explain about all these people. The truth is, you cannot explain about them. You are led in farther and farther. Frank wants to say, "George went to the Stereopticon yesterday." Instead of mat tie says, A iellow at our school named George, Tileston, fho g and is in Miss S a brother of Tom goes to the Dwisrht. tub iuissoomerDy th'at has the class in the Sunday School she's at the Brimmer School but her sister," and already poor Frank is far from George, and far irom the Stereopticon, and as I observe is wandering farther and father, lie began with GeoTge but George having suggested Tom and Miss Somerhy, by the same law of thought each of them would have suggested two others. Poor Frank, who was quite master of his one theme, George, finds unawares that he is dealing with two, gets flurried, but plunges on, only to find, in his remembering, that these two have doubled into four, and then, conscious that in an instant thoy will be eight, and, which is worse, eight themes or subjects on which be is not prepared to speak at all, probably wishes he had never begun. It is

ertaiii that every 6fc SiSd "wish 1 whether ha does or pot. You neea not explain. People of sene understand soniothicg. Our Young Folk for April.

From the You) h's Companion. POO IS MATTr KILBl'KV. AN INTERESTING LITTLE STORY. In Wapole, New Hampshire, there is a very ancient tree, which is an object of interest to visitors, for there is a sorrowful tale conuected with it. Long ago, when the settlers lived in fear of the Indians, who often "came down the river to rob and kill, a fort was built noai the town, and there the people hurried for protection the moment an alarm was given. Between this lort and the town tands the old tree, which was a vig-orou-s young oat at the time tae story bezins. For a long while the settlers had been at peace, and began to think that, the Indians would never come .. l . 1. 3 1 agun, tor their last repuise nau uucu a most disastrous one. But one autumn day, when the men were busy harvesting in the fields, a boy, who had been fishing, came flying home, pale and imhteoed, to report that the Indians were coming in a whole fleet of canoes, paddling down the "long river of pines," a3 they called the Connecticut. Then the panic began, and all huried to the fort, takiDg their women and cnsiuren, ineir cume, iuu as much of their precious harvest as they could gather in that short time. The inmates of a few solitary houses on the outskirts of the town were left to their fate, for there was no time to warn them, except by the bell. Some of the women fled to the fort, leaving the men who were away in the fields, or on the hills, tc defend them selves as they knew now. Some hid in the woods, fearing to try to reach the fort, for the canoes were verv near now. and the keeneved savages could see the fugitives Iu one of these lonely houses lived John Kilburn and his twelve year old daughter, Matty, who kept house for him like a notable little woman as she was. On that sad day John was looking after his sheep at the foot of Fall Mountain, and Matty alonj; at home tie did not hear the bell, but he saw the Indians ; thought of his dear little girl all alone in the solitary house. and leaving hip sheep to their fate, he ran home through by-ways, hoping to reach the settlement before the fight began. He knew it would be a bloody one, for the revengeful Indians had net forgotten their last defeat, and had turned out in full force to destroy their conquerers. T hey were already on shore, when John Ivuburn, breathless and ex hausted, reached his house to fin brave little Matty preparing to defend berself, with his gun in her hand and the dogs at her side " Why didn't you run to the fort,' child?" he panted, as she let him in " I waited for you; I knew you'd come, and now we'll go together," she said, showing him her pockets full of the few precious thiDgs they owned; a little money, her mother s gold beads the silver spoons and the queer, bi watch, which her father only wore on bundays. Away they ran, leaving the dogs behind, lest they should betray them. It was not far, but when they reached the hill that lay between them and the fort, they saw that it was too late to get in, for the fight had begun. Glaucing back, they also saw tha retreat was , cut off, for some of the Indians were already skulking about their house: jonn lviiouru was a brave man but he trembled as he stood there among the bushes, so helpless in the midst ol his relentless euemics. II trembled not for himself, but for the little girl who clung to him, full o faith that he could save her fron: every danger. snout irom tne ntns made him look up to see a party of settlers armed with sickles, scythes and gun ehargiag down upon the Indians intent upon fighting their way to the tort. it ne were atone, jonn could loin them and do good service with his gun; but Matty could do nothing, and would only impede his steps and endanger herself. He thought a minute, then swung himself up into the oak under which they had passed. Leaning down, he drew the chad alter him, and without a word let her carefully down iuto a daep hollow, made by the breaking of a great limb struck by lightning some years before. The treo had decayed inwardly, while outwardly it looked halo and strong, f or young shoots had sprung up round the broken place, and hid the hole with thick, green branches. "Aren't you coming, too, father?" asked Matty, looking up from lie dark hiding place. '' No, dear, I'm going to fight; you are sate here; no one knows of the hole but me. Keep a good heart, my lass, and trust to father, answered John, leaning down to kiss the brave little face that looked at him from the green gloom. Matty let him go without a word : tor tnose perilous times taught stern lessons even to the children. She sat riuite still, said her prayers with all her heart, and waited patiently for rather. All that afternoon and night, shots rang from fort and forest, flames rose from the lonely farm houses, and blood flowed. Jiut by dawn the fight was over, and the Indians slunk away, defeated John Kilburn was mortally wound ed, and only reaehed the f ort to die, trying vainly to tell something which kept him from departing in peace. xr j .. -t i - , , ixu one unaerstooa nis Droken words, his imploring looks and feebie gestures toward the hill. Thev thought he tried to tell them that Alatty was carried on by the Indians; and he died with his secret ienr darkening his last hour. TtTor many days no one ventured to leave tbe fort, fearing to be surprised by"the Indians, so poor Matty's cries were unheard; and when at last the men ventured to return to their work all was still under the 'oak, and the rustling leaves could not tell them of the pale little face lying dead in the green gloom. A long wnue aiter tne last nght, a boy, hunting for a lost arrow, climbed the tree, discovered tbe hole and saw something shining far down in the dark. He could not reach it, but told his father he had found buried money. The man went, and discovered not only gold and silver, but little bones, which none could doubt had once been Matty Kilburn's, for the treasures that could not save her lifeprov-K-i3"??!1 e 7M and contradicted the behet that she had been carried away. t "y-,.r.rs were shed over the remains o ;i. j10.00,06 .Pretty, well beChild, and tt.,. . i i loved ti,' vjr "er ouriea v.o.v uu JYiiDum, whose trouble was now explained. dying -ine ota tree still stands, broken,

TnE newest literary venture is " Apple) 'on 's Literary Journal" - a weekly paper to be devote.d to Literature, Science and Art. Its success is not uncertain ; its contents and illustrations are of the best description. Appleton's Journal, judging from the initial number before us, will immediately take a leading and influential position in American periodical lifer1 stare. Commenced in this number, and to be continued through succeeding numbers until completed, is a new novel by the distinguished Victor Hugo, which he is said to have been at work upon for the last twenty ears, lhis story is entitled lhe Man Who Laughs." Its characters and scenes are English, and taking the initial chapters as specimens, it will quite leave Les Miserable in the shade. From lhe Atlantic Monthly, for April.
