The strata of coal out- \u0027\n\u0027\u0027, rop taera and dip to the westward, descend\ning at about the angle of twenty-three de- \u0027\ngives. These seams or layers of coal\u2014al\nteraattng with layers of stone like thecako 1\nand jolly of jelly-cake\u2014dilfer much in thick\ncane. The richest Is about twenty-seven\nfro: through. Some are so thin that the\nworldaf of them would not be productive\u2014\nfheasineeareof two Blade. One kind begin*\nat the outcrop, whore the coal comes to the\nsurface, and follow* down tho bed with a\nlung shaft, called ait \u0022incline,\u0022 an mat lanes Iff up\nsnd sometimes ueariy horizontal, according to\ntho ii lcl \u0027ationol the stratum. Thus a shaft\nfifteen undred feet long becomes at the lower\nend about six or seven hundred feet below the\nsurf; i*. Up this shaft runs a double railroad\ntrack, each traversed by a small car, drawn\nby a rope or chaiu passing over a drum at the\nmonth of the shaft. Thus one car descends as\nthe other rises. A steam engine above ground,\nat the top of the shaft, docs this work, aa well\nas the pumping and ventilating of the mine.\u2014\nlvtmuing at right angles with this shaft are\nlung galleries called levels. These keep very\nnearly horizontal by winding and turning a*\nthe dip of tho seam changes in inclination.\u2014\nThese have also railroads running through\nthem, the cars of which are drawn by mules\u2014\ngoof animals that never see tho blessed sun\nlight, nor ever munch a mouthful of fresh\nherbage from one year\u0027s end to another. No\nwonder that they get a little obstinate soino\ntiiaes, or bray out a note of complaint to a\nfallow-sufferer iv au adjoining drift\u2014but this\nis pathetic. These levels are nearly parallel,\nand about a hundred feet apart, all coming\ninto the main shaft, of course, at lower points\nas the shaft descends. Those in Their turn are\nintersected by another set of drifts about\nforty feet apart, ruuning.at right angles with\nthem, and of course parallel with the main\nabaft or \u0022 incline.\u0022 Thus tho whole bod of\noaal i* eat through with passages crossing one\nanother, leaving large masses of coal, called\n\u0022 pillars,\u0022 to support the roof. When tho\nwhoa* seam is thus explored, and the drifts\nhave struck rock ail around, then commences\nthe work of \u0022 robbing\u0022\u2014cutting away the\npillars of coal\u2014of course beginning at that\npart of the mine farthest away from the shaft,\nfor the roof tumbles in as they are cut, one by\none, away. Dangerous work this.\nThe other mine sinks a perpendicular shaft\neight or liiiie hundred feet deep, and of course\na leaf distance off from the out-crop. The\nb-vels strike off from the foci of this, and the\nmining is carried oa in the same manner, ex\ncept that the first is carried dOamsps\u00dftl from\nthe surface, and this is carried from the bot\ntom of the shaft upward toward the out-crop.\nThe foot of the shaft is the deepest part of the\nmine. Of course thane levels cannot always be\npsralett. or eo^ui-distant, or. the intersecting\ndrifts straight and at right angles. The varying\ndip of the strata, the disappearance of some\nveins, tho discovery of others, and, most of all,\nthe masses of rock, called \u0022 troubles,\u0022 all\ntend to change the regularity of the mine. A\nhigh grade of science and experience are called\ninto play to circumvent these troubles, or to\nte\u00df where and how to cut through them, and\n10 follow thu vein of coal through all its faults\nand turnings. .\nThe draining ot the mines is frequently a\nproblem uf great difficulty, as enormous veins\nof water often burst out, sometimes flooding a\nWhole mine. The ventilation, too, is most im\nportant, as the lives of all in tho pit depend\nnpoa its perfection. The system of Bending\nfresh pure air through all tho labyrinth of\npassages is too complicated to be explained\nhere, it is sufficient to say that a strong cur\nrent is created by a largo Can revolving with\ngreat rapidity, which expels the foul gases\nand brings the wholesome air down from the\nopen world.\nOne can easily ace that this is hard work\u2014\nand dangerous too. Dangers exist, hard to\nanticipate, and difficult, if not impossible, to\nprovide against. The ceiling of brittle coal\nslate sometimes crushes through all its props,\nlviI vi its black lumps are made rod with the\n\u0022od of the mangled miner. A blast might\n\u003Eea communication with some vast reservoir\nwater, and the narrow drifts and galleries\n1 so fast that escape would become Uapossi\n\u0027\u25a0\u25a0 Sometimes the gas\u2014tho same gas that,\nuned and civilized, light- onr houses\u2014accu\nolatea here his natural savage strength,\nid gathering too rapidly for the ventilator\n\u00bb purify, ssqaledjes with a force compared\ntth which ntapowder is a trifle. Every\nungbi and splintered by its fury.\nhen fellows the \u0022black damp\u0022\u2014air from\nbieh all the life-sustaining principle is burnt\nft and if any escape unhurt from the con\nissioa, they are drowned iv the lifeless air.\nAnd this work, with all its severe labor and\ndanger, begets a class of men who take in it a\nstrange delight. When Shelley spoke of men\n\u0022leaner than flesbless misery, who waste\ntheir Uvea in far down darksome mines,\u0022 he\npurely never could have seen the Welsh, Cor\nnish and Newcastle miners. The Cb-stor\nfield mines are worked chiefly by the*e men,\nanfl a sturdy set of fellows they are. They\nprefer the pit to any other work, and have\nthe sash* kind of scorn of surface men that\nsailors have of land \u0022 lubbers, \u0022.or that trap\npers have of civilized folks. They feel that\nhigh qualities, that energy, courage and pa\ntients, are called into play here, and that they\ntire spending strength on strength in tho stern\nlabor of cutting their way through living\nrock. They love the solid darkness of the mine,\nits perilous descents, the intricate mazes of\nits drifts and galleries, often steep and slippery,\nand its utter isolation from the rest of the\nworld \u2022\nThe sailor and the trapper have been told\nof often enough. Cooper alone has said quite\nenough of both; but no one has ever taken\ntile pitman, la his grimy dress, hard-handed,\n\u0022wart, and smutted, and made a hero of him.\nBut perhaps his turn may yet come.

Meade was generally there.\nEdward Smith testified that he was in Mrs.\nOuld\u0027a house on the night on which tjie shoot\ning affair occurred, between t\u003E and 7 o\u0027clock.\nThought, from her appearance, that she had j\nbeen crying, and left for homo. Mrs. Ould j\nseemed to be the proprietor of the place.\nMrs. Gill testified that after Mrs. Ould\u0027s j\nwedding clothes were made she did them up.\nShe told witness that she and Meade were go\ning to be married. This was in May last. Had\nknown Mrs. Ould for some time, and always\nTound her to be a hard-working, industrious\nwoman.\nWilliam Blackburn testified that he was iv\nthe court-house yesterday when Meade was\non examination. He read the testimony in\nregard to himself in tho morning papers. Had\nfrequently been in their house, aud always\nthought Mrs. Ould was Meade\u0027s wife. Went j\nthere in August, in a carriage, and took Meade j\nout to rjde. In about two weeks from this\ntime Meade proposed that wo take a buggy j\nrido, and have Mrs. Ould go with them- Ap\npointed a day, but could not go. Went there I\nafterwards in a carriage, and asked Meade to j\ngo, but he declined. Then asked Mrs. Ould to I\ngo, and he gave his consent. She went, and\nafter doing some shopping, returned. Viaited\nthe house frequently afterwards, aad on one]\noccasion Meade ashed witness if bo was a mar- j\nried man. Told him he was. About two j\nweeks before the shootiug affair occurred, had i\na dispute with Mrs. Ould, and ceased to visit\nthe house. There was never auy proposition\nmade on her part, or that of witness, to marry\nor go away. In this respect Meade\u0027s testimony\nwas false.\nMiss Alice Gill testified that she was at Mrs.\nOuld\u0027s about ft o\u0027clock on the evening of the ,\nshooting. Asked Mr. Meade whore she was,\nand he said she was up stairs. Saw him go\ndown stairs, and che called him to return.\u2014\nHo did so, aud witness then asked her for a\nbasket. \u25a0 Did not go farther than tho head of\nthe ste{\u00bbs. Saw no one there except Mrs. Ould\nand Meade. \u2022 i\n, Cyrus W. Andrews said ha was the sergeant\non duty at Castle Thunder when Mrs. Ould I\nwas arrested. Saw that Mrs. Ould had marks j\non her throat, as if some one had choked her.\nThere was also a small bruise over her eye. \u2014 ;\nTook a letter over to Meade for Mrs. Ould.\nand saw him lying upon the bed. Told wit\nness that ho would be obliged to appear against |\nMrs. Ould, though he had no bard feelings in\nthe matte.-. Trio marks 011 her throat audi\nover the eye wore very distinct. The bruise I\nover tho eye appeared to have been inliicted by !\nsome hard substance.\nMeade here made an effort to introduce a ]\nletter, written by Mrs. Ould for him, to his I\nniece, in Alexandria, requesting her to come\nen and wait upou the young lady to whom he j\nwas to have been married, Objectiou being\nmade by the counsel for the defence, it was\nnot read. j\nAnother letter, .written by Mrs. Ould to\nMeade while she was in Castle Thunder\u2014en\ntreating his forgiveness; that she had no other\nfriend in the world: that she did not know\nwhat she was doing when she fired the shot,\nand begging him to continue to be her friend ;\nthat she was a poor, unhappy, lost wouisn,\nwhen she could have been better, and all she\n1 asked of him was to befriend her once more\u2014\nj was introduced by Meade and read by Mr.\nJohnson. The letter exhibited a most extra\nordinary degree of affection on her part for\nMeade.\u0022whom she constantly addressed as j\n\u0022 Dear Bob.\u0022\nMr. Johnson read a number of letters writ\nten by Meade to Mrs. Ould, addressed to his\n\u0022 Dear Is,\u0022 and couched in the most affec\ntionate language.\nJoseph McCoy testified that ho know Mre.\nOuld and Meade. Meade\u0027s statements in re\ngard to the Intimacy between Mrs. Ould and\nhfYnself were false. She always acted towards\nhim as a lady. Witness was never in her bed\nchamber before last Monday night, when he \\\ntook supper with her and Mr. snd Mrs. Mat\nthews. He never made any proposition to\nher, nor she to him, about going away together.\nJames Jones, one of the late military police,\ntestified that ho saw Mrs. Ould shoot Meade\non Franklin street, and he attempted to\nknock tho pistol out of her hand with his club. I\nStruck her on tho head and made a small j\nbruise. Her condition after the affair was\nthat of one on the verge of insanity. She was\nvery much excited. When ho entered Mrs.\nOuld\u0027s room the bed clothing was well ar\nranged and in good order.\nThis closed the testimony for the defence. \u2014\nMr. Johnson then made an application for\nbail. He said that the testimony had proved\nthe most extraordinary friendship on tho part j\nof the accused for Meade, on which, consider\ning his persona] appearance and general ac- |\ncomplisamenta, he coukinot compliment her\nvery highly. Meade had evidently perjured\nhimself, as had been proved by the testimony\nof respectable witnesses. He was but slightly\nhurt by the shot, at had been proved by his\nphysician. He therefore felt cjuite confident\nthat his Honor would not consider it v case of\nfelony, but admit Mis.

When the case was first brought be\nfore him, as Mayor, he did not think it proper\nto deny her the same privilege. But having\nnow heard the testimony, he did not think it a\nbrglable case, and therefore remanded Mrs.\nOuld to jail, to be examined before the Hust\nings Court on tho second Monday in January\nupon a charge of felony.\nThe .Weathkb.\u2014Yesterday was one of those\nterrible days described by\u0027Tora Hood in liis\npoem, wherein he says:\n\u0022 First it blew,\nTh\u0027ii it anew.\nAnd then it tliftW.\u0022\nAfter a very beautiful day on Saturday, the\nskies became suddenly overcast, and our citi\nzens arose yesterday morning to a scene of\nsleet and slippery pavements, causing every\npedestrian who valued bis limbs-to take the\nmiddle of the street.

Thad. Stkvexs, without, proba- j\nbly, designing to be very honest, made a simi- :\nlar avowal in the Committee of the Whole the j\nother day. The following are the words he j\nused, if his speech be correctly reported:\n\u0022 In the Territories, Congress fixes the qualifica\ntions of electors, and I know of no better place nor\nbetter occasion for the conquered rebels and the\nconqueror to practice justice to all men. and accus- ;\ntorn themselves to make and to obey all laws.

According to my judgment, they\nought never to be recognized as capabe of acting\nin the Union, or being counted as valid States, un\nr til the Constitution shall have been so amended as\n\u0027to make it what its framers intended, no ms to te\ncure a perprtual ascendancy to the party of the\nF\u0022\/4t\u0027|a\u00dfkan\u003CJ so as to reWer republican government\nJJnnwna stable forever. \\\n..W * * * . * * * * !\n\u2022\u0027 If they should grant the right of suffrage to\npersons of color.

If they\nshould reuse thus to alter their election laws, ft\nwould reduce the representatives of the late slave\nStates to about forty-five, and render them power\nless for evil. It is plain that this amendment must! \u0027\nbe consummated before the defunct States are ad- j\nmitted to be capable of State action, or it never can .\nbe. * * #\u2666****!\n\u0022The whole nnmAyr of representatives now |\nfrom the slave States is seventy. Add the other\ntwo-fifths, and it will be eighty-three. If the\namendment prevails, and the States withhold the\nright of suffrage from persons of oolor, It will de\nduct about thirty-seven, leaving them but forty\nfive. With the apportionment unchanged, | the\neighty-three Southern members, with the Demo\ncrats that will in the best times be elected from the ,\nNorth, will always give them a majority in Con- \\\ngress and in the Electoral Ckdlege. They will, at\nthe very first election, take possession of the White\nHouse and the halls of Congress. I need not de\npict the scene that would foftow.\u0022\nThe words italicised at the end of the first\nparagraph contain the whole pith of the\nspeech. \u0022To secure a perpetual ascendancy,\nto the Republican party \u0022 is the object of ail j\nthese violent revolutionary movements.

There it lay, in the same old rots, and\nspreading the same old snares on the side-\nSrthe. Only a few hours arrived from South\nmerica via Southampton, I sat in my room.\nAt Morley\u0027s Hotel, Charing Cross, and looked\ngloomily out at the fountains, walked up and\ndown the Boor discontentedly, and fiercely\ntried my best to feel glad that I wns a wan\nderer no more, and that I had indeed got home\n_* __**? np m * fi s e \u00bb and to \u00b0k a long look\nbackward upon my past life, through the em\nber*. I remembered how my childhood had\nbeen embittered by dependence, how my rich\nand respectable uncle, whose ruling passion\nwas vain-glory, had looked on my existence as a\nnuisance, not so much because he was obliged to\nopen his purse to pay for my clothing and edu\ncation, as because that, when a man, he i\nthought I could reflect no credit upon his i\nname. I remembered how, in those days, 1\nhad a soul for the beautiful, and a certain, al\nmost womanish, tenderness of heart, which\nby dint of much sneering, had been success\nfully extracted from me. I remembered mv\nuncle\u0027s unconcealed relief at my determination\nto go abroad and seek my fortune, the cold\ngood-bye of my only cousin, the lonely, bitter\nfarewell to England, hardly sweetened by\nthe impatient hopes that consumed rather\nthan cheered me\u2014the hopes of name and gold,\nwon by my own exertions, with which I should\nyet wring from those who despised me the\nworthless respect which they denied me now.\nSitting there at the fire, I rang the bell, and\nthe waiter came to me: an old man, whose\nface I remembered. I asked him some ques\ntions. Yes, he knew Mr. George Rutland ;\nrecoUected that many years ago he used to stay\nnt Morley\u0027s when he came to London. The\nold gentleman had always stayed there. But\nMr. George was too grand for Morley\u0027s now.\nThe family always came to town in the spring,\nbut, nt this season, \u0022Rutland Hall, Kent,\u0022\nwould be pretty sure to be their address.\nHaving obtained all the information I de\nsired, I began forthwith to write a letter:\n_ Dear George,\u2014l dare say you will be as \u0027\nmuch surprised to see my handwriting as you j\nwould to behold an apparition from the dead.\nHowever, you know I was always a ne\u0027er-do\nwell, and I have not had the grace to die yet. I\nearn ashamed not to be able to announce myself j\nas having returned home with my fortune I\nmade; but mishaps will follow the most hard- |\nworking and well-meaning. I am still a young I\nman, even though fifteen of the best years of my !\nlife may have been lost; and lam willing to !\ndevote myself to any worthy occupation.\u2014\nMeantime, I am anxious to see you and yours.\nA long absence from home and kindred makes\none value the grasp of a friendly hand. I\nshall not wait tor jour reply to this, but go\ndown to Kent the day after to-morrow, ar\nriving, I believe, about dinner time. You see\nlam making myself assured of your V3lcome\nfor a few weeks, till I have time to 100. about\nme. I remain, dear George,\n\u0022 Your old friend and cousin,\nt\u0022GcY Rutland.\u0022\n[ folded this missive and placed it in its en\nlope. \u0022 I shall find out, once for all, what\npy are made of,\u0022 I said, complacently, as I\nwrote the address, \u0022George Rutland, Esq.,\nRutland Hall, Kent.\u0022\nIt Was about seven on a frosty evening when\nI arrived\u0027at the imposing entrance of Rutland\nHall. No Cousin George came rushing out to\nmeet me. \u0022Of course not,\u0022 I thought; \u0022I\nam unused to their formal manners in this\ncountry. He is lying in wait for me on the\nmat inside.\u0027\u0027 I was admitted by a solemn per\nson as quietly and mechanically as though my\nrestoration to home and kindred were a thing\nthat had happened regularly in his presence\nevery day since his birth. He ushered me\ninto a grand haU, but no mat supported the\nimpatient feet of the dignified master of the\nhouse. \u0022Ah!\u0022 said I, \u0022even this, perhaps,\nwere Bcarcely etiquette. No doubt he stands\nchafing on the drawing-room hearth-rug, and\nI have little enough time to make myself pre- j\nsen table before dinner.\u0022 So, resigning my\nself to circumstances, I meekly followed a\nguide, who volunteered to conduct me to the\nchamber assigned to my especial use. I had\nto travel a considerable distance before I\nreached it. \u0022Dear me!\u0022 I remarked to my\nself when I did reach it, \u0022 I had expected to\nfind the rooms in such a house more elegantly\nappointed than this!\u0022\nI made my toilette, and again submitting\nmyself to my guide, was convoyed to the\ndrawing-room door. AH the way down stairs\nI had been conning pleasant speeches with\nwhich to greet my kinsfolk. lam not a bril\nliant person, but I sometimes succeed in pleas\ning when I try, and on this occasion I had the\ndesire to do my best.\nThe drawing-room door was at the distant\nend of the haU, and my arrival had been so\nvery quiet that I conceived my expectant en\ntertainers could hardly be aware of my pre\nsence in the house. I thought I should give\nthem a surprise. The door opened and closed\nupon me, leaving me within the room. I\nlooked around me, and saw\u2014darkness there,\nand nothing more.\n\u25a0Ah, yes, but there was something more !\nThere was a blazing fire which sent eddying\nswirls of light through the shadows, and right\nin the blush of its warmth a little figure was\nlounging in an easy chair. The little figure\nwas a girl of apparently about fifteen \u0022or six\nteen years of age, dressed in a short, shabby i\nblack frock, who was evidently spoiling her !\neyes by reading by the flre-Hght. She lay with i\nher head thrown back, a mass of fair curly\nhair being thus tossed over the velvet cushion\non which it rested, while she held her book\naloft to catch the light. She was luxuriating\nin her solitude, and little dreaming of inter\nruption.\nShe was so absorbed in her book, the door\nhad opened and closed so noiselessly, and the\nroom was so large that I was obliged to make\na aound to engage her attention. She started\nviolently then, and looked up with a nervous\nfearfulness in her face. She dropped her\nbook, aat upright, and put out her hand,\neagerly grasping a thing I had not noticed be\nfore, and which leaned against the chair\u2014a\ncrutch. She then got up, leaning on it, and\nstood before me. The poor little thing was\nlamn, und had two crutches by her.\n- \u25a0V** 1 \u0027\u2022 and h\/* fear seemed to I\n\u00a3*!fm\u00abf?* \u2022* ked me to sit down, with a I\nHd^t^!\u00a3!^ pMo \u00b0 0 l at-home-ness, which |\nW Tf **? \u00ab\u00ab\u00ab\u25a0 She picked up\n***\u0022 aoo* ana laid it on her inn \u2022 ,ha \u00bbnuin\u003CJi i\nn net from the recesses of her P ci_ir 2_fs?S i\na blush, gathered up w i th\ninto its meshes.

However that may be, certain\nthings before surmised became assured fa_Ls\nin my mind, and a quaint bond of eyttpn\u00dfay\nbecame at once established between me and\ni my companion.\n\u0022 Miss Ray,\u0022\u0027 1 said, \u0022 what do you think of\na man who, having been abroad for fifteen\nyears, has the impudence to come home with\nout a shilling in his pocket? Oi_ht he not to\nbe stoned alive ? V\n\u0022I thought how it was,\u0022 she said, shaking\nher head, and looking up with another of her\nj shrewd glances. \u0022 I knew it, when they put\nyou into such a bad bedroom. They are keep\ning all the good rooms for the people who are\ncoming next week. The house will be full for\nChristmas. It won\u0027t do,\u0027\u0022 she added, medita\ntively.\n\u0022 What won\u0027t do ?\u2022\u0027 I said.\n\u0022 Your not having a shilling in your pocket.\nThey\u0027ll sneer at you for it, and ihe servants\nwill find it out. I have a guinea that old Lady\nThornton gave me on my birthday, and If you\nwould take the loan of it I should be very\nglad. I don\u0027t want it at all, and you could pay\nme back when you are better off.\u0022\nShe said this with such business-like gravity\nthat 1 felt obliged to control my inclination to\nlaugh. She had evidently taken me under her\nprotection. Her keen little wits foresaw snares\nand difficulties besetting my steps during my\nstay at Rutland Hall, to which my newer eyes,\nshe imagined, must be ignorantly blind. 1\nlooked at her with amusement, as she sat there\nseriously considering my financial interests. I\nhad a fancy to humor this quaint confidential\nrelation that had sprung up so spontaneously\nbetween ns. I said gravely: j\n\u0022 I am very much obliged to you for your of\nfer, and will gladly take advantage of it. Do I\nyou happen to bavea guinea at hand? \u0022\nShe seized her crutches, and limped quickly \u003C\nout of the room. Presently she returned with\na little bon-bon box, which she placed in my j\nhand. Opening it, I found one guinea, wrap- J\nped up carefully in silver paper.\n\u2022\u00ab I wish it had been more! \u0022 she said, wist\nfnllv, as I coolly transferred it to my pocket, ,\nbox and all, \u00ab\u0027But Iso seldom get money ! \u0022\nAt this moment the solemn person who had j\nescorted me hither and thither before an\nnounced that my dinner was served.\nOn my return to the drawing-room I found, j\nto my intense disappointment, that my benefi- :\ncent \u0022bird had flown. Teecie Ray had limped\noff to the nursery.\nNext morning,*at breakfast, I was introduced\nto the family. I found them, on the whole,\npretty much what 1 had expected. My Cousin\nGeorge had developed into a pompous portly\npaterfamilias ; and, in spite of his cool proles\u0027- j\nsions of pleasure, was evidently very sorry to\nace me. The Mamma Rutland just couute\n\u0027\u25a0 nanced me, in a manner Ihe most frigidly po- ;\nlite. The grown-up young ladies treated me\nwith the most well-bred negligence. Unless I j\nhad been very obtuse indeed, 1 could scarcely !\nI have failed to perceive the place appoint \u003C_\u003Efor !\njme in Rutland Hall. I was expected to sit be\ntow the salt. I was that dreadful thing\u2014a\npataon of no importance. George amused him\nself with me for a few days, displaying to me\nhis various fine possessions, and then, on the I\narrival of grander guests, left me to my own\nresources. The Misses Rutland endured my\nescort on their riding expeditions only till\nmore eligible cavaliers appeared. As for the\nlady of tho house, her annoyance at having\nme quartered indefinitely on her premises\nwas hardly concealed. The truth- was, they\nwere new people in the circle in which they\nmoved, and it did not suit them to have a poor\nrelation coming suddenly among them, calling\nthem \u0022cousin,\u0022 and making himself at home\nin the house. For me, I was not blind, though\nnone of these things did it suit me to see. I\nmade myself as comfortable as was possible\nunder the circumstances, took every sneer and\nsnub in excellent part, and was as amiable and\nsatisfied on all occasions as though I believed\nmyself to be the most cherished inmate ol\u0022 the\nhousehold. That this meanness of mine should\nprovoke their contempt, I had hardly a right\nto complain of. Nor did I. I accepted this\nlike the rest of their hospitality, and smiled\ncontentedly as the days went 011. The gloom\nwhich had oppressed me on my first arrival in\nEngland had all betaken itself away. How\ncould I feel otherwise than supremely happy\nat finding myself thus namiiiiiiuh d by my kind\nrelations, thus generously entertained \u0022under\ntheir hospitable roof ?\nAs I found that the guests at Rutland Hall\nenjoyed a certain freedom in their choice ol\namusements, and the disposal of their time, I\nspeedily availed myself of this privilege. I\nselected my own associates, and I entertained\nmyself as pleased me best. Not finding my\nself always welcomed in the drawing-room, I\ncontrived, by a series of* the most dexterous\nartifices, to gain the free entree of the nursery.\nIn this nursery were growing up some five or\nsix younger branches of the Rutland family.\nAfter a certain hour in the day none of the\nelders ever thought of invading its remote\nprecincts. Five o\u0027clock in the evening was\nthe children\u0027s tea hour, and the plensantest, I\nthought, in the twenty-four. Nurse was a\nstaid woman, who knew liow to appreciate a\nlittle present now and again, and to keep her\nj own counsel on the subject. The children\nI were not pleasant children ; they were unruly,\nj mischievous little wretches. They conceived\na sort of affection for me, because I sometimes\nI brought to the nursery sundry purchases made\nI during solitary rides; picture-books, toys,\nj dolls, or sweetmeats, procured by means of\nj Teecie Ray\u0027s guinea. I suggested as much to\nI Teecie one evening as she sat by, watching the\n! distribution, and she nodded her head in sage\nj satisfaction. She thought that I economised\nImy substance very well. It covered a great\nj many small extravagances, that guinea did.\nWhatever might be my position at Rutland\nj Hall, Teecie Ray\u0027s was simply intolerable. A\nI spirit less brave must have been cowed and bro\nken by it: a nature less delicate must have been\nblunted and made coarser. The servants openly\nneglected her, the children used her as they\npleased ; wreaked their humors on her, sparing\nneither blow nor taunt in their passions, and\ndemanding from her at all times whatever ser\n\u25bcfee it suited their capricious fancy to need\nNurse, the only one who ever showed a grain\nof consideration for the orphan, would some\n\u25a0 times shield her from their impish attacks\nI when she could do so with safety to herself\nbut she was not permitted to deal with those\ndarlings in the only fashion which would have\nbeen at all likely to bring them to reason As\n[ for the elder,s of the house, Teecie Ray\u0027s mo\nmentary presence, or the mere mention of her\nname, was sufficient to ruffle their peace of\nm e j VWhat is to be done with that girl * \u0022\nI heard Mrs. Rutland remark to one of her\ndaughters. \u0022If she were not lame one might\nset her to earn her bread in some way ; but:as\nII _\u2014- A shrug of the shoulders, and a cer\ntain vinegar-like expression of countenance\nwhich this tody knew how to assume, sufficient\nly developed the idea thus imperfectly ex\npressed.\nAnd how did Teecie Ray meet all this ? She\ndid not complain nor rebel, she did not sulk or\nfret. Under that well-worn black frock of\nhers she carried a little breastplate Of sober de\ntermined endurance. When sorely tried there\nwas never any cowardly submission to be seen\nin her grave little face, neither was there ever\nin her manner or words either reproach or re\nmonstrance. She simply endured. Her large\npatient eyes nnd mute wise mouth seemed to\n*VLL \u0027 Wb *b\u00bbverl suffer, whatever I long to\nm Ju\u00ab5 ri H lt,,d * \u00bbh\u00bbu?kles my limbs, and seals\nSeTam aumb\/\u0027 ed lr \u00b0 mmany lUiU ** ; there \u0022\nwmJ daTS 15?

Then she gave me her wise little\ncounsel when all Was told, and went home, I\nbelieve, pondering on my case.\nAs the days passed, aud my relations became\nmore find more Involved in their winter gai\neties, I found myself more and more thrown\nupon my own resources for amusement. Oc\ncasionally I was included in an invitation, aud\naccepted it; but in general I preferred indulg\ning my fancy for keeping aloof from those who\nw\u00ab\u00abre little charmed with my compnny. A sys\ntem of the most unblushing bribery had won\nfor me a warm welcome from the xttvage tribes\nin tho nursery. Many and many an evening\nfound mo walking down that hedged lane in\nthe frosty dusk, with Teecie Ray limping by\nmy side, nnd talking her grave simple little\ntalk. I had always some fresh puzzle to pro\npose toher, and she was always ready to knit\nher smooth brow*\u0027over its solution. Once she\nStopped short and struck her little crutches on\nthe snow.\n4 \u0027 You ought to go away from here and work,\u0022\nshe cried. \u0022O, if \/could ! \u0022\nA certain Sir Harry arrived at Rutland Hall;\nI will not trouble myself to think of hissecond\nname: it is not worth remembering. He was\n| a Jpoithy bachelor of high family, and his\nmovements were watched with interest by the\nlady of thehou.se. This Sir Harry had a fancy\nfor smoking his cigar in the hedged lane, and\non more than one occasion he encountered my\nlittle benefactress limping on her solitary way,\nand stared at the pretty fresh face under her\nold black hat till It blushed with uncomfort\nable brilliance. Teecie changed her track like\na hunti\u0027d hare, but Sir Il_rry scented her out,\n! and annoyed her with nis fulsome Compli\nments. The matter reached Mrs. Rutland\u0027s\nearn, and she vented her chagrin on the de\nfenceless little girl. I know not what sorry\naccusations and reproaches she bestowed upon\nher during a long private lecture; but thnteye\nning When, at the children\u0027s tea hoiir.l entered\nthe nursery door with a new ball in my hand\nfor Jack, (the youngest and least objectionable.\nof the band,) 1 saw Teecie Bay\u0027s face griev\nj ously clouded for tho first time. It was flushed\nand \u0022swollen with passionate crying. Ido not\nintend*to commit to paper Certain remarks\nwhich I made totto voce on beholding this dis\nfigurement.\n\u0022Come, come, Teecie,\u0027 I said, while ISurso\nwas busy quelling a disturbance which had\narisen because \u0022 Cousin Guy \u0022 had not brought\nsomething to every one else as well as Jack ;\n\u0022 where is all your philosophy, little mother ?\nYou need never preach to me again, if you set\nme such a bad example.\u0022\nTeecie said never a word, but stared Oil into\nthe tire. This wound hadeutdeer*. Sir Harry\nand Mrs. Rutland, of Rutland Hall, at that\nmoment 1 should have dearly loved to knock\nyour two good-for-nothing heads together !\n\u0022 Teecie,\u0022 I said, \u0022 yon have one friend, at\nany rate, even if he be not a very grand one.\u0022\nShe gave one of her\u0022 quaint expressive Utile\nnods. Translated, it meant: \u0022 I understand\nall that, but I cannot talkjpet now.\u0022 By-and\nby, however, she brightened up, and went to\nthe table to claim her share of tea and thick\nbread and but tor, and I began to mend a bow\nlielonging to Tom. Tom was one of the leaders\n\u003Ef the unruly tribes, a regular savage chief-\nEre two days more had passed I felt strongly\nnclined to exercise l he horsewhip on this young\nentleman\u0027s shoulders. Tom, one line inorn\nng, was seized with an impish inspiration to\nplay a trick upon Teecie. Stealing her crutches,\nhe walked about the nursery mimicking her\npoor little limp, and then marching off with\nthem, heedless of her entreaties to have them\nrestored, carried them in triumph out of doors,\naud smashed them in pieces with a hatchet.\nTeecie sat helpless in the din and riot of that\nill-conditioned nursery. Bright bracing days\ncame and found her ;t prisoner, looking with\nlonging ayes through the window-panes out\nover the beautiful country lanes. Tom saw\nher patience with the most audacious indifer- j\neuce. But why talk about Tom? I could not\nhelp believing, nor do 1 ever intend to help be- j\nlieving, that older heads than Tom\u0027s plotted\nthe cruel caging of that bonniC hud. \u2022\nTho bird drooped on its perch; but who I\ncaYcd? Nurse vowed it was a shame, and \u0027\nshowed more kindness than usual to the pri- j\nsoner, but 1 will not venture to decide howl\n.much of this tenderness was owing to the odd\ncrown-pieces which found their way from my\nhand to hers\u2014all out of the guinea, of course?\nO yes, all out of the guinea. And there was\nanother friend who sometimes expressed an!\ninterest in Teecie Ray\u0027s existence. This was\nthat Lady Thornton, whose bounty had mdi- !\nrectly furnished me with pocket-money during\nmy stay at Rutland Hall. The favor of this\nold lady I had done my best to win. She was !\na nice, comfortable old lady, and I liked her. !\nIt happened thai she called one day during\nTeecie Bay\u0027s imprisonment to invite the Rut\nlands and their visitors, great and small, young I\nand old, to a party to be given at her house, a I\nfew miles distant.\u0022 I chanced to be alone in]\nthe drawing-room when she arrived, and 1\nseined the opportunity to tell her the story of\nTeecie\u0027s crutches.\n\u0022A bad boy !\u0027\u0022 she said. \u0022A bad, malicious\nboy! She must get new crutches before my\n\u0022Of course she must,*\u0027 I said very heartily.\nThe old lady threw back her head, raising\nher fat chin in a peculiar sort of way, and\nlooking at me direct through her spectacles.\n\u0027\u2022Indeed.\u0027*\u0027 she said. \u0022Pray, young man,\nwhat particular interest do you take in Teecie\nI smiled. \u0022Oh, Teecie and I are excellent\nI friends,\u0022 I said.\n\u0022Teecie and you* she repeated. \u0022Pray,\nare you aware that Miss Kay is eighteen years\nof age?\u0022\n\u0022Is she, indeed ? I know nothing about the\nages oi\u0022 little girls.\u0022\n\u0022But Teecie is not a little girl, Mr. Guy\nRutland. Teecie Ray is a woman, I toll\n\u003Eou !\u0027\u0027\nTeecie Ray a woman! I could not help\nlaughing. What, my little benefactress, my\nlittle mother ! I am afraid I scandalized Lady\nThornton on that.occasion by my utter scorn\nof lur proposition. Christina Rutland swept\ninto the room at this crisis, and relieved me in\nmy difficulty. But often afterwards during\nthat day 1 laughed when I thought of\u00ab Lady \u0027\nThornton\u0027s in formation. Teecie Bay a wo\nman? Preposterous!\nOne morning, when it wanted but a week of\nI the party, a curious event occurred. The\niieads of the Souse met in consultation on the\nmatter, in the library, before breakfast. An\nextraordinary Thing had arrived from Loudon\nat Rutland Hall. The Thing was a large\nwooden case, directed to Teecie Ray. On being\neagerly opened, it was found to contain a pair\nof crutches.\nAnd such a pair of crutches! Light and\nsymmetrical, aud fanciful, works of art in\ntheir way. Tortoise-shell stems, with silver\nj mountings of exquisite workmanship, capped\nI with dainty little cushions of embroidered\nvelvet. Thunder-stricken were the ciders of\nthe house. \u0022Who could have done this\nI thing?\u0027* was on every lip. Who, indeed?\nWho outside of Rutland Hall had ever heard\nof Teecie Ray? These crutches were costly\naffairs. I knew the conclusion they came to,\none at d all. They pitched on Sir Harry as the\nculprit. It was a thorn in their side, and 1\nrubbed my hands in glee.\nHaving considered the question in their dis\nmay, they divided that Teecie should be kept\nin ignorance of her mysterious present. It was\nnot fit for her to use : it wonld fill her mind\nWith absurtl ideas. And so, in spite of the ar\nrival of her beautiful new crutches, poor Tee\ncie still sat helpless in thenurserv. The wooden\ncase and its contents were hidden away, and\nno word was spoken of their existence.\nI waited a few days to see if the elders would\nrelent, but to no purpose. The bird *till pined\non its perch. No kindly hand seemed likely to\nopen the cage door aud let it fly. There sat\nTeecie, day alter day, in her nursery chair,\nhemming aprons for nurse, or darning the\nchildren\u0027s stockings, looking longingly out of\nthe window, and growing pale for want of\nfresh air. Still never rebelling, never com\nplaining.. Meantime the stir of Christmas pre\nparation was agitating all the household, and\nthe children were fun of rapture at the pro\nspect of Lady Thorntons Christmas party.\nThere was great excitement in the nursery\nabout pretty new dresses, wonderful fussing\nabout ribbons, and muslins, and fripperies\nTeecie alone sat silent in her .shabby frock.\nBy-and-by her hands were full, bowing up\nsashes, sewing on tuckers, stitchingrosetteson\nshoes. She was a nimble little workwoman\nand they kept her busy. Seeing how well a lap\nfidl of bright ribbons became her, I thought it\na pity she should not have a gay dress as well\nas the rest. \u003C*\u003E\nNobody said, \u0022 Teecie, what will you wear ?\u0022\nnor even, \u0022 Teecie, are not you invited too \u2022*\u0027\nNo one Beamed to expect for a moment that\nTeecie could wish to be merry with the rest\nHow could she go, she who was lame aud had\nno crutches?\nIt happened thai 1 had an errand to the\nnearest town. It was rather late, when, on my\nreturn, I called at the best millinery establish\nment in the place and asked for a parcel*\nYes, the parcel was ready. A large flat box.\n\u0022Would the gentleman like to see the lady\u0027s\npretty dress!\u0022 The box***:!* opened, and a\ncloud of some airy fabric .shaken out under my\neyes. I cannot, of course, describe it, but it\nwas something white, very pure and transpa\nrent, with something else of pink just blushing\nthrough it. It was very tasteful, I pronounced,\ntrying to look v#se.

Rut\nthey mean that there, when I came back, stood\na beaut if ul girl by the nursery fire, in a fair\nsweeping blush-colored robe. When she\nturned her head, I saw that the sweet face,\nframed in its child-like\u00abcurls, was the same,\nbut still the old Teecie Bay was gone, and here\nwas (peccavi Lady Thorr \u0027on !) a lovely wo\nman.\nWe were all three ludicrously amazed at. the\nsudden metamophose that had taken place.\nTeecie was too simple not to show that she\nfelt the change in herself, felt it keenly, with\na strange delight and a strange shyness. Nurse\nhad so long been accustomed to use her as a\nchild that she stood bewildered. As for me, I\nwas first frightened at what 1 had done, then\nenchanted, then foolishly awkward, and\nalmost as shy as Teecie herself.\nWhen I presented the crutches, nurse looked\nat me as though I must be some prince in dis- j\nguise, out of the Arabian Nights. It was j\nwith a curious feeling that 1 saw Teecie try\nthem, not limping now, rather gliding over!\nthe nursery floor, with the little velvet\ncushions hidden away amidst clouds of lace j\nand muslin under her round white shoulders,\nand the airy masses of the fresh tinted gown i\njust crushed back a little by the gleaming sil- ;\nver staves. I don\u0027t know why it was that I\nthought at that moment, with a certain rap- ;\nture, of a guinea in a little bon-bon box, that\nlay below in the one shabby portmanteau\nwhich I had thought proper to \u0022bring with me j\nto Rutland Hall!\nOur equipage awaited us. It was too late\nnow to withdraw from what I had under\ntaken. Teecie and I were soon dashing over\nthe snowy roads to Lady Thornton\u0027s. I will !\nnot attempt to describe the remainder of that\nmemorable evening, or the sensation caused\nby our arrival; the wonder and mortification\not* my kind relations; or the mingled pleasure\nand displeasure of the hostess, who, while de\nlighted to see her little favorite, took occasion\nto whisper angrily in 1113\u0027 ear, \u0022 And pray, sir,\nhow is all this to end ?\u0022\nThe scene was all new and delightful to\nTeecie, but her dread of Mrs. Rutland\u0027s por\ntentons frown would not let her enjoy it. We !\nboth felt that a storm would burst over our\nheads that night, and we were not wrong.\nNone of tho family from Rutland Hall took\nthe least notice of us. When the time came\nforgoing home, they went off in their two!\ncarriages, and Teecie and I drove? homo as we\nhad come. When we arrived, we found\nCousin George and his wife waiting for us in\nthe library, armed to the teeth. I saw it was\nto be war and no quarter. Mrs. Rutland took\nTeecie into her clutches, and carried her oil\u0027, \\\nand I was left with George. I need not re\npeat all that passed between us.\n\u0022Sir, \u0022 he said, \u0022we have suffered your in* [\nsolent intrusion long enough. You leave this j\nhouse to-morrow morning.\u0022\n\u0022 Cousin George, \u0022 I said, \u0022don\u0027t put your- i\nself in a passion. I will go to-morrow morn- \u25a0\ning, but upon one condition\u2014that Teecie Ray\nmay come with me, if she will.\u0022\nHe looked at me perfectly aghast. \u0022Do you\nknow.\u0022 he said, \u0022that she is a penniless, \u0027\nfriendless orphan, whom I have sheltered\nthrough charity? \u0022\n\u0022I want to make her my wife,\u0022 I said,\nsternly, \u0022if, indeed, I be so\u0027fortunate as to\nhave won her affections.\u0022\n\u0022And after that.\u0022 ho said, with a sneer,\n\u0022how do you propose to Bye? Upon air, or\nyour friends ?\u0022\n\u0022Not upon you, George Rutland,\u0022\u0027 I said, \u0027\nlooking him steadily in the eyes: \u0022Mark me,\nI have tried you out. 1 have sifted you, nil in |\nthis house, like a handful of wheat. I found \u0027\nyou all chaff, but the one golden grain which\nties on my palm. 1 will keep it and treasure 1\nit, if I may. God grant I may !\u0022\n\u0022 Very line, \u0022 said George, \u0022 very fine. Re\nmember, however, that from this moment I\nwash my hands of you both : you, Guy Rut\nland, and her, Teecie Ray.*.\u0027\n\u0022 Amen ! \u0022 1 said, and bade him good night,\nand turned on my heel and left him.\nEarly the next morning 1 knocked at tho\nnursery door, and begged of Nurse to awake i\nMiss Teecie, and ask her to apeak with me in\nthe garden. I then went out to wait for her.\nIfwas (\u0027hris tmas morning, the day of peace and\nBJOOd will. What I felt was scarcely peace, as !\nI looked over the calm landscape. And yet 1\nbore no ill will to any man or woman.\nTeecie came to me by-and-by : just the same\nold Teecie. limping over the frosty path in her\nshort shabby frock, and looking half ashamed\nof her grand new crutches. I felt relieved\nwhen I saw her so.. I was shy of\u0022 the dainty\nlady whom I had called into existence the\nnight before. And yet when I looked more\nclosely, I knew that this was not quite the old\nTeecie, mad that the very same Teecie of a J\nday ago never, never, could come back. Some\nthing waaaltered. Whether the change was\u0022 1\nin hor or me, or in both of us, 1 did not in- j\nquire. The change was not an unpleasant\none.\nWo strolled out of the garden, and into the\nlane, and we talked earnestly all the way.\nOn our way back 1 said:\n\u0022And you\u0027re not afraid of starving with\nme, Teecie? You\u0027ll take the risk V\nOne of her old nods was Tcecie\u0027s answer.\n\u0022 Go and fetch your hat, then,\u0022 said I, \u0022and\nwe won\u0027t even wait for breakfast. Hon\u0027t bring\nanything else with you, not aj shred. I have\nstill some halfpence left\u2014out* of the guinea,\nyon know\u2014and we\u0027ll get all we want.\u0027*\nTeecie fetched her hat and returned, and we I\nset oil\u0022 together. An hour afterwards we were !\nman ami wife. We said our prayers side by\nside In the church, and then we walked back to j\nRutland Hall, to say good-by to our kinsfolk.\nI believe they all thought me mad, and her a 1\nlittle fool;\u2014at least until Cousin George re- j\nceived the check, which 1 sent him next day: !\na check to cover the exp\u003E,ts \u25a0\u25a0\u003E incurred by i\nJiira through his charity o Teecie Ray. Then !\nthey began to wonder, and to waver. I took my j\nwife abroad, aud showed her the world. Time \u0027\u0027\nand care cured her of her tamaneas. It waa not\nsurprising that on her return to England her\nkinsfolk should scarcely recognise her\u2014Teecie\nRutland, nee Ray\u2014walking without crutches,\nand the wife of a millionaire ! Half a bride\ncake conciliated Lady Thornton, and the won\nderful guinea is still in my possession I call\nit Teecie\u0027s dower. The crutches, the donor of\nwhich I beg to assure you, major, was not Sir\nHarry, are also preserved as family curiosities.\n[Dickens.","format":"text\/plain"},"target":"https:\/\/inkstory.org\/daily-dispatch\/sn84024738-1865-12-25-ed-1\/manifest.json\/canvas\/3#xywh=3398,402,1076,8132"},{"id":"https:\/\/inkstory.org\/daily-dispatch\/sn84024738-1865-12-25-ed-1\/manifest.json\/canvas\/3\/ocr\/source\/P4_TB00011","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","label":{"none":["paragraph"]},"body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"!
