A PRETTY PEASANT.

Mdurlce SlTO1leu dllllcoSiy luiouSi the outrageous forest. The rain had ceased, but from the leaves drops of water still dripped with the light sound of trickling fountain. At a distance the path he was following opened on green glade. The trunks of the trees were dark. their branches darker still, and the spreading foliage of the chestnuts, meeting above the head of the young artist, seemed like the vault of cathedral at the hour when the declining sun sends through the many-colored windows a mysterious light into the obscurity of the interior.
 Maurice loved the hour when the day dies, when gray tint falls upon all objects, confounding their con tours, softening their angles and rounding their outlines. He walked slowly, each moment discovering in the forest some beauty he had not seen before, and filled with that ad- miration for nature which is part of genius.
 Having reached the glade he looked about him. The grass was green and fresh; the delicate leaves of the trees glistened under the drops of ram which had fallen upon them. He paused that he might better observe the scene, which seemed more inn pressive in the gathering shadows than in the full light of the sun.
 He saw the pretty, slight form of a girl advancing from clump of beech trees. She walked with a supple step, without seeing Maurice, who, as motionless as the trunk of the tree near which he stood, looked at her intently. When a few paces from him the girl saw him, trembled, and let fall small bundle of fagots she was carrying on her head.
 "You frightened me, she said, smiling, and her large, dark eyes sparkled gaily under her tangled vel low hair,
 He looked at her a moment with out replying. Complete harmony, which it is impossible to describe, ex- isted between this pretty, smiling girl, the foliage of the glade and the tone of the landscape.
 "Remain where you arc" said the young man. "Iw want to sketch you. v
 She was about to brush back the locks that had fallen over her fore head, but he stopped her with a gesture.
 Stand just as you are.'
 He seated himself on stone and rapidly sketched the face and form of his young model.
 She was peasant, but dellcale and slight, as are these young girls before they complete development, winch is often late. Her eyes were already those of woman; her smile was still that of child,
 "How old are you|' asked the artist, as he worked.
 ''I will be sixteen soon.'
 'Is it possible! l thought you were younger"
 II am small, she said, with frank smile. "hut l shall grow quickly, and by St. Johns Eve l shall have a Iovcr.'
 "Why on St, Johns Eve"' asked the young man, pausing in his work and looking as her.
 "Because then We shall dance around the bon-tires.
 So soon was this pure brow these

the picture, he was determined to keep the latter.
 It was autumn when he returned to the village where he had met the little maid with the yellow hair. Since he had painted her portrait, twice had the bon-lires of St. Johns Eve seen the bands of joyous peas ants dancing about them, and as he thought of the young girl he smiled sadly, wondering which of the village rustics had made her his choice. l His pilgrimage was to the forest of chestnuts. As darkness comes quickly on October evening, he has tened along the forest walk; but it was not yet dark, and the rays of amber light still traversed the forest, falling upon the leaves that trembled on their branches, and upon those that rusted under his feet With the odor of dead leaves came a thou sand regrets, sorrowful memories and bitter thoughts, which filled him with unspeakable sadness, with greater distaste for life than he had ever be- fore experienced.
 When he reached the glade he seated himself in the same place where two years before he had sketched the picture that had crowned his fame. The cold stone on which he sat seemed to mock all his tender feelings.
 While thus seated, he saw ap- preaching him. over the well-known path, the girl who had been his model now large young woman. She was not alone; peasant walked be- side her, holding her by the hand i; he was a handsome fellow, strong and we'll built, and well-tO-do for one of his class. He leaned toward her, and from time to time kissed a tear from her cheek.
 When they saw Maurice they paused, confused and surprised.
 And this," he thought, ''ls the girl of whom l have dreamed"
 But he took pity on her when, in a voice of sighs, she said to him:
 "They do not wish us to marry. l am poor, he is well off, and his mother does not want me for a daughter-in-law; she even talks of disinheriting him. ''
 And you, you do not wish to be disinherited?" Maurice said, ironi- cally to the young man.
 "Why, one must live"
 That is true. lam sorry for you, !, my children. n.''
 They departed. Maurice, when left to himself, took his head between his hands and thought for long time.
 His ideal was destroyed. In this young peasant woman, still hand some, but about to develop into a commonplace matron, naught re- mained of his pretty model with the golden hair.
 ",Thus it is with all our dreams, y" he said. as he arose. "All that re- mains is the opportunity of doing a little good"
 He wrote to Paris that same even- ing, and few days afterward he presented himself at the house of the young woman.
 'I have sold your portrait" he said to her in the presence of her as- tonished mother. 'It has brought a large price, indeed, little fortune. 1 have brought the money to you in order that you may marry your lover. ."-r From the French of Henry !

To the WOrkmen's AdrOcdte:

What's the matter with Rabbi Schind-
Ter? Does he really believe that it will
require a century to complete the ma
tonalization Of industries, 4. e., to bring
about general cooperation, or social
ism? He cannot mean it, He must
certainly know that existing conditions
will never permit of such slow pro-
cess; that ten-aye, five years-will
sufficiently aggravate matters to make
a sudden and radical change impera-
tive. Has he read Capital" by Karl
Marx, and does he doubt that this m an
he said that, Before the nineteenth
century ends the masses will be COM
PEELED to fight for collectivism or
starve"? Is it likely that, viewed in the
light of passing events, Marx should be
wrong in this most important of his re-
markable deductions? A century, in
deed. Are three or four more genera
tons to be doomed to wage slavery !?
To believe 1t one must have lost all faith
in the intelligence and spirit of civilized
nations. Why this snai's pace? Is not
the whole greater than any of its parts ?
Is not the welfare of nine-tenths of more
importance than that of the one.tenth :?
Are we to forestall revolution in thus
taking century to accomplish our
work, or do we intend to aid it by our
slowness or inaction? No, no, no. We
have no time to waste, and none to go
slow. The best we can do we cannot
do soon or fast enough, fear, to pre-
vent the impending crisis. Shame on
the man who would be slow to do an
act of justice. Shame on the men. and
women, too. who would not demand
justice when injustice is once recog-
nized CHAS. F. SCHNEIDER.

WILL THEY ANSWER?
To the Workmen'S Advocate.
For the benefit of all those who
grope in the darkness of State Socialism,
! request answers from individual
istic editors, such as Hartman, Stuart,
Pentecost, Walker, Tucker, McCready,
Danielewiez and others whose names |
do not know:
/. Does not the following from the Chi
cago NeacS of Sept. 8, 1889, fairly express
the spirit and intent of State Socialism?
"The people of Chicago are learning
rapidly that in order to be served well
they must serve themselves. They con-
troll their own water supply and they
are getting ready to light the city
with electricity from their own plants.
The more corporations they discharge
from their employ the better they like
the Results of taking care of themselves.
"Before many more years Chicago
ought to own all of the street railroads
within its limits, and ought to light the
houses of it's citizens. The insolent
bearing of those corporations with
which the people now have to deal will
become intolerable before another gen
Grafton has passed. The sooner they
declare their independence of the whole
grasping fraternity the better"
2. Has Chicago a right to discharge
those individualistic corporations?
3. Or has any individual a natural
right to use Chicago's streets for water
pipes against the wish of majority?
4. Whom does Chicago's water sys-
tenn coerce? No one need buy water;
no one is taxed, and the system is ex-
tended with the surplus.
5. Who will be oppressed if Chicago
uses electric lights for the streets?
g. Where do you find the basis for
your charge of "coercion,' "compul
sion," ETC., against State Socialists?
7. Do you favor or tolerate majority
rule in any case?
s. Can there be cooperation with
out it?
8. Has any man a natural right to
associate with me?
10. If not, are not social laws founded
upon agreement instead of natural
rights?
II. Are you willing to change "Spen
GERS Aphorism" to read thus: Every
person has natural right to do whatso
ever he wills, provided that in the doing
thereof he infringes not 1rhdt he deems
the equal rights of any other person y!
70. If not, do you see the necessity
for defining equal rights" to make the
rule of any value? CAS- the genial Nc
