Mama purchased thirty copies of the paper, that she might cut out the
paragraph and send it to friends and acquaintances. The betrothed pair were very
happy, and the mother was happy too. She said it seemed like connecting herself
with Thorwalsden. "You are a true successor of Thorwalsden," she said to Alfred;
and it seemed to him as if, in this instance, mamma had said a clever thing.
Kaela was silent; but her eyes shone, her lips smiled, every movement was
graceful,- in fact, she was beautiful; that cannot be repeated too
often.
Kaela was silent; but her eyes shone, her lips smiled, every
movement was graceful,- in fact, she was beautiful; that cannot be repeated too
often. Alfred decided to take a bust of Kaela as well as of her mother. They sat
to him accordingly, and saw how he moulded and formed the soft clay with his
fingers. "I suppose it is only on our account that you perform this common-place
work yourself, instead of leaving it to your servant to do all that sticking
together." "It is really necessary that I should mould the clay myself," he
replied.
"Ah, yes, you are always so polite," said mamma, with a smile;
and Kaela silently pressed his hand, all soiled as it was with the clay. Then he
unfolded to them both the beauties of Nature, in all her works; he pointed out
to them how, in the scale of creation, inanimate matter was inferior to animate
nature; the plant above the mineral, the animal above the plant, and man above
them all. He strove to show them how the beauty of the mind could be displayed
in the outward form, and that it was the sculptor's task to seize upon that
beauty of expression, and produce it in his works.

Not
so the poet; he remembered him, and named him, and wrote down his thoughts on
the subject. "How foolish it would be for the violin and the bow to boast of
their performance, and yet we men often commit that folly. The poet, the artist,
the man of science in his laboratory, the general,- we all do it; and yet we are
only the instruments which the Almighty uses; to Him alone the honor is due. We
have nothing of ourselves of which we should be proud." Yes, this is what the
poet wrote down.
Yes, this is what the poet wrote down. He wrote it in
the form of a parable, and called it "The Master and the Instruments." "That is
what you have got, madam," said the pen to the inkstand, when the two were alone
again. "Did you hear him read aloud what I had written down?" "Yes, what I gave
you to write," retorted the inkstand. "That was a cut at you because of your
conceit. To think that you could not understand that you were being quizzed. I
gave you a cut from within me.
I gave you a cut from within me. Surely I
must know my own satire." "Ink-pitcher!" cried the pen. "Writing-stick!"
retorted the inkstand. And each of them felt satisfied that he had given a good
answer. It is pleasing to be convinced that you have settled a matter by your
reply; it is something to make you sleep well, and they both slept well upon it.
But the poet did not sleep. Thoughts rose up within him like the tones of the
violin, falling like pearls, or rushing like the strong wind through the
forest.

This proposal was adopted by acclamation. And all the children
out of the lane- yes, even out of the little lane at the back- flocked to the
place, and each gave a button. Many were noticed to go about on that afternoon
with only one suspender; but then they had seen Puggie's grave, and the sight
was worth much more. But in front of the tan-yard, close to the entrance, stood
a little girl clothed in rags, very pretty to look at, with curly hair, and eyes
so blue and clear that it was a pleasure to look into them.

tan-yard, close to the entrance, stood a little girl clothed in rags, very
pretty to look at, with curly hair, and eyes so blue and clear that it was a
pleasure to look into them. The child said not a word, nor did she cry; but each
time the little door was opened she gave a long, long look into the
yard.
She had not a button- that she knew right well, and therefore she
remained standing sorrowfully outside, till all the others had seen the grave
and had gone away; then she sat down, held her little brown hands before her
eyes, and burst into tears; this girl alone had not seen Puggie's grave. It was
a grief as great to her as any grown person can experience. We saw this from
above; and looked at from above, how many a grief of our own and of others can
make us smile! That is the story, and whoever does not understand it may go and
purchase a share in the tan-yard from the window.

But the sick girl still remained where she was, quietly and patiently
she lay all the day long, while her mother was away from home at her work.
Spring came, and one morning early the sun shone brightly through the little
window, and threw its rays over the floor of the room. just as the mother was
going to her work, the sick girl fixed her gaze on the lowest pane of the
window- "Mother," she exclaimed, "what can that little green thing be that peeps
in at the window? It is moving in the wind."
The mother stepped to the
window and half opened it. "Oh!" she said, there is actually a little pea which
has taken root and is putting out its green leaves. How could it have got into
this crack? Well now, here is a little garden for you to amuse yourself with."
So the bed of the sick girl was drawn nearer to the window, that she might see
the budding plant; and the mother went out to her work. "Mother, I believe I
shall get well," said the sick child in the evening, "the sun has shone in here
so brightly and warmly to-day, and the little pea is thriving so well: I shall
get on better, too, and go out into the warm sunshine again."
"God grant
it!" said the mother, but she did not believe it would be so. But she propped up
with the little stick the green plant which had given her child such pleasant
hopes of life, so that it might not be broken by the winds; she tied the piece
of string to the window-sill and to the upper part of the frame, so that the
pea-tendrils might twine round it when it shot up. And it did shoot up, indeed
it might almost be seen to grow from day to day. "Now really here is a flower
coming," said the old woman one morning, and now at last she began to encourage
the hope that her sick daughter might really recover.

Our
aunt had an electric wire from the theatre to her room. A telegram used to be
dispatched to her at coffee-time, and it used to consist of the words, "Herr
Sivertsen is at the machinery;" for it was he who gave the signal for drawing
the curtain up and down and for changing the scenes. From him she used to
receive a short and concise description of every piece. His opinion of
Shakspeare's "Tempest," was, "Mad nonsense! There's so much to put up, and the
first scene begins with 'Water to the front of the wings.'
" That is to
say, the water had to come forward so far. But when, on the other hand, the same
interior scene remained through five acts, he used to pronounce it a sensible,
well-written play, a resting play, which performed itself, without putting up
scenes. In earlier times, by which name our aunt used to designate thirty years
ago, she and the before-mentioned Herr Sivertsen had been younger. At that time
he had already been connected with the machinery, and was, as she said, her
benefactor.
At that time he had already been connected with the
machinery, and was, as she said, her benefactor. It used to be the custom in
those days that in the evening performances in the only theatre the town
possessed, spectators were admitted to the part called the "flies," over the
stage, and every machinist had one or two places to give away. Often the flies
were quite full of good company; it was said that generals' wives and privy
councillors' wives had been up there. It was quite interesting to look down
behind the scenes, and to see how the people walked to and fro on the stage when
the curtain was down.

"My lover
would be ready to give up his engagement," said the youngest, who was betrothed
to a paver's hammer; and the hammer is the thing which drives great piles into
the earth, like a machine, and therefore does on a large scale what ten maidens
effect in a similar way. "He wants to marry me as a maiden, but whether he would
have me were I a hand-rammer is a question, so I won't have my name changed."
"And I," said the elder one, "would rather have both my arms broken
off."
But the Wheelbarrow was of a different opinion; and the Wheelbarrow
was looked upon as of some consequence, for he considered himself a quarter of a
coach, because he went about upon one wheel. "I must submit to your notice," he
said, "that the name 'maiden' is common enough, and not nearly so refined as
'hand-rammer,' or 'stamper,' which latter has also been proposed, and through
which you would be introduced into the category of seals; and only think of the
great stamp of state, which impresses the royal seal that gives effect to the
laws! No, in your case I would surrender my maiden name."
"No, certainly
not!" exclaimed the elder. "I am too old for that." "I presume you have never
heard of what is called 'European necessity?'" observed the honest Measuring
Tape. "One must be able to adapt one's self to time and circumstances, and if
there is a law that the 'maiden' is to be called 'hand-rammer,' why, she must be
called 'hand-rammer,' and no pouting will avail, for everything has its
measure." "No; if there must be a change," said the younger, "I should prefer to
be called 'Missy,' for that reminds one a little of maidens."
