Yee; when they come in from the world they cast their possessions into the whole; we own nothing, for ourselves. Nay; we don't have many come. Brother William was the last. Why did he come?" She looked coldly at Athalia, who had asked the question. "Because he saw the way to peace. He'd had strife enough in the world. Yee," she admitted, briefly, "some fall from grace, and leave us.
This Millersport boat cost twelve hundred dollars; the proprietor charges twenty per cent of each freight-bill, for handling and storing goods, a fee of twenty-five cents for each steamer that lands, and certain special fees for live stock. Athalia, Haskellville and Guyandotte were other representative towns.
"And I had another letter," the Eldress proceeded, "from that young woman who came here in August Athalia Hall; do you remember? she asked two questions to the minute! She wants to visit us." Brother Nathan looked at her over his spectacles, and one of the sisters opened her eyes. "I don't see why she should," Eldress Hannah added. Two of the old brothers nodded agreement.
"We are as the angels of God," he said, simply. He left them and began to sickle his herbs, with the cheerfully obvious purpose of escaping further interruption. Athalia instantly bubbled over with questions, but Lewis could tell her hardly more of the Shakers than she knew already. "No, it isn't free love," he said; "they're decent enough.
Athalia had a fancy, in the warm twilights, for walking down Lonely Lake Road, that jolted over logs and across gullies and stopped abruptly at the water's edge. She had to pass Lewis's house on the way, and if he saw her he would call out to her, cheerfully, "Hullo, 'Thalia! how are you, dear?" And she, with prim intensity, would reply, "Good-evening, BROTHER Lewis."
They had left their train at five o'clock in the morning, and had been sitting in the frowsy station, sleepily awaiting the express, when Athalia had had this fancy for climbing the hill so that she might see the view. "It looks pretty steep," her husband warned her. "It will be something to do, anyhow!" she said; and added, with a restless sigh, "but you don't understand that, I suppose."
He got on his feet and stood before her, his empty palms hanging at his sides in that strange gesture of entire hopelessness; he tried to speak, but no words came. The lamp on the table flickered a little. Their shadows loomed gigantic on the wall behind them; the little hot room was very still. "You think you don't love me?" Athalia said, between set teeth; "I know better!"
Ateles marginatus, colour of the ruff of; hair on the head of. Ateuchus cicatricosus, habits of. Ateuchus stridulation of. Athalia, proportions of the sexes in. Atropus pulsatorius. Attention, manifestations of, in animals. Audouin, V., on a hymenopterous parasite with a sedentary male.
Athalia, abashed, but still cherishing the dear insult of having been tempted, took what little part Eldress allowed her in the care of the sick man; but in the six or seven weeks of his illness Brother Nathan and the Eldress were his devoted nurses, and by-and-by a genuine friendship grew up between them.
Once, when some one said in his presence, "Sister 'Thalia is working too hard," he blinked at her in an absent way before the old, anxious attention awoke in his eyes. Athalia tossed her head and said, "Brother Lewis has his own affairs to think of, I guess!" And he said, eagerly: "Yes, 'Thalia; I have been thinking Some day I'll tell you. But not yet."
