However charming they may be;
Fbe'll never know of this ia verse
When I her simple tate rehearse
A cottage girl, made b&by-narse
Unto another baby.
Till then how oonstant she at school t
ller tiny hands of work how full !
And never careless, never dull,
4s little scholars may b.
Her absence questioned, with cheek red
And gentle lifting of the head,
'Jla'am, I could not be spared," she said;
"I had to mind my baby.
JJtr baby, oft along the lane
Mie'd carry it with such sweet patu
Pa summer holidays full fain
To let both work and play be.
T3ut, at the Bthool hour told to start,
Fhe'd turn with sad, divided heart
'Iwixt scholar's wish and mother's part,
'I cannot leave my baby 1 "
One day r.t school came minors dire
"Lizzie haa fallen in the fire 1"
And oil in haste I went to inquire,
"With anxious fear o'orllowing:
For jester afternoon at prayer
My little Lizzie's lace did wear
The look how comes it, whence or where ?
Of children who &xn gouty.
And almost as if bound for llight
To say new prayers in angel's sight,
Poor Lizzie lay so wan, so white,
Ho sadly idle seeming:
Her active hands now Lelple33 bound,
Her Tvild eyes wandering vaguely round,
As up she started at each sound,
Or slept, and moaned in dreaming.
Her mother gave the piteous tale;
Iow that child's courage did not fail,
Or else poor baby" She stopped, pale,
And Bhed tears without number;
Then told how at the lircside warm,
Lizzie, with baby on her arm,
Slipped threw him from her safe from harm,
Then fell Here in her slumber.
Lizzie shrieked, "Take him I" aud upt03sed
ller poor burnt hands, and seemed half lost,
Until a smile her features crossed
As sweet as angels' may be.
"Yes, ma'am" she said in feeble tone,
"I'm ill, I kuow" she hushed a moan
"Eut" here her look a queen might own

NOBLE CRIMINALS.

JiKiU'iai l.itcviiturc.
The Shirley family, in the possession of the
earldom ot terrors, ami yst folates 1u Leices
tershire and gtuubruYnire, tiae made consider
Sible contributions to judicial literature.
The trial ot Lawtvuce buirley, the fourth carl,
for the murder of his steward, Johnson, is one
of I ho ugliest cases in the uly literature of
murder. Jlyowu impression is that Lord Fer
rers was mad; but though the pica of insanity
is often bo successful, vet if a nobleman
commits a murder, he U a. very unlikely kind of
criminal to derive any benefit from it. He
appears, like so many other criminals, to have
worked himself habitually into tits of passion
in which he was hardly sane. Passion, ottcner
than anything else, causes murder, and iu
many more cases it causes death through pome
sudden access of il'uease. In this case Lord
Ferrers declared that he bore poor Johnson no
malice, and did not kuow what he was doin;'.
He h it lariie legacies., never paid, to the chil
dren of his victim, uuel also made Compensation
to other persons whom he had injured in tits of
passion. The kins refused to commute his
sentence, but he had the poor satisfaction of
going to Tyburn in his own landau, and being
hunK by a silken rope. His widow became
Duchess of Arfrylc. Ho was the great-great
uncle of the present lord, aud it has been stated
that a gibbet has been erected inChnrtley Wood
for the purpose of hauling him in elh?y.
A much more pleasing reminiscence of the
family of Ferreis is preserved in Mr. T. li.
Potter's "Walks Rouud Loughborough," and
by Sir Bernard Uurkc, ot which wc give a
resume:
"The seventh Earl Ferrers inherited some of
that ecceutriicity of his family which in the
case of one of his line had h-d to such sad re
sults. Disliking the splendid seat of Staunton
Harold, probably from the paiuful associations
connected jiiih it, he erected mansions ou
other portions of his large estates. Kakedalo
Hall wasote of these, Ratcliff Hall was another.
He had quarrelled with his only son, the ami
able ana accomplished Lord Tarn worth, and
the lRtter had died without any reconciliation
haviDg taken place. One morninjr a wooiiu of
plebeian appearance came to the hall, and at
lirtt requested, aud then, beiiiir refused, de
manded an audience of his lordship. She was
t:t last ushered iuto the study, and she led by
the hand a little cirl of three years old, tor
whose support, as the grandchild ot the Earl,
the supplicantly pleaded for some assistance, She
looked down on the child, aud, relaxing and
relenting, said, 'Ay, you have Tain worth's eyes.'
This likeness to Lord Turn worth, the little one's
innocent prattle, and perhaps some compunc
tious feelings lor his late coldness to his sou,
made a strong impression on the Earl's heart.
He took fie child ou his knee; his stern heart
was sot'tt'TiPd. and from that moment he formed
the resolution of adopting her. Duriu? his
lifetime she never left him. but became the
solace of his declining yeuis. He bestowed greut
pains on her education, aud by his will ap
pointed Mr. Chinks liod'roy Muudy, of liurtou
Hall, her sole guardian, with an allowance of
three tliouiud pounds a year for her mainte
nance during miuoritv, and bequeathed her the
beautiful manors ot Rakedale, KatelilT, etc.,
with a large amount of personal property.
"Miss Shirley, as she was ulwavs called, was
removed to Burton Hail; for she hi t been en
tirely separated from her ruothor, who had mar
ried an humble Innkeeper of Lyston, receiving
a small anuuity, ou condition that she should
not have any intercourse with her daughter.
"One day tho mother was brought in by one
of the domestics us n visitor; the young ladies
pursued their drawing, none of them being at
all couccious of any relationship between them
selves and the rustic strunjiy. A picture or
two nuu been ucscribia, but the woman s eye
couiu not oe inverted; sue oniy saw uer daugh
ter, aud in her overpowering emotion threw
herself on her daughter's ueek, The scene
need not be described further.
There was a stipulation in the will of the
late Eurl, that Miss Shirley should spend three
months of every year upon the Continent.
During a sojourn in I inly shu was introduced to
the young Puko de Bxrzn, to whom she was
afterwards united.
"The little girl whom I first introduced to the
reader in the character of au bumble punuliant
at the door of Rakennle Is now the Duchess de
Sforza, wife of oue of the must distinguished
men in Europe, and owner of Rakednle Hall
itself, and the tine estates that surround It. The
Duke and Duchess reside ou tho Duke's ances
tral homo in Koaiagua. They rarely visit
Enelnnd.
"Three or four years ago, a stranger aud his
wife were observed sketching, tor several uays
in succession, the remarkable ancieut manor
house of the Khii levs. culled Rakedale Old Hall.
"Even the children of tho village learned to
love the strangers for their gentle manners, and
sun more, perhaps, for tho presents tnai were
bestowed nnon them: and there was a universal

wife announced that they would not return

THE DAILY E
The artist and his wife were tho Duke and
Duchtes de Kforza. In the summer of lncl. an
ntinuary, rambling in North Leicestershire,
was Induced to visit this secluded hamlet, a few
miles cast of Melton Mowbray. He htd been
attracted to this ipot by the lame of tho old
Hall as a remarkably fine specimen of Jacobean
architecture. He was descendlnir the hill that
overhangs the village, when groups of well
dressed rustics met his eye. The word 'Welcome,'
too, allixed in flower on an arch that spanned
the entrance to tho Hall, gave sign of rejoiciug.
What holiday arc you celebrating V said my
antiquarian friend to the civil rustio who
opened the gate. 'It's the visit of the Duchess,'
was the reply; 'and there she comes,' said he,
pointing to a carriage descending the hill.
"A loud shout proceeded from the rustics,
and the two bells of the little chapel adjoining
the Hall at once began to jinclo tho beat peal
the dual could produce. The carriage entered
tho Hall gates, and a lady of middle age was
handed out by a soldier 'ike young man who
accompanied her. With bare heads the farmers
and laborers made their best bows to the
Duchess and her sen."
The lasi judicial appearance made by any of
the Shirley family was that famous breach of
promise of marriage case brought by Miss Mary
Elizabeth Smith against Washington, Earl Fer
rers. There was a great deal ot mystery about
this ense; and although the plaintiff's case en
tirely broke down, nnd the Solicitor-General
(Sir Fitzroy Kelly) elected to be nonsuited, yet
many facts were ielt uuexplaino.l. The plaintiff
nltenvaids published a pamphlet on the subject,
which, in the eyes ol her Iriends, would make
considerable excuses for her couduct. On the
very r.iuht before the trial came on she was
pressed by the Solicitor General and her other
counsel in the strongest way, and she was told
that if she had any sort of reservation or decep
tion ou her mind it would certainly be detected,
iad she would at once lose her cause; and she
was told that the abandonment of proceedings
would be infinitely les painful than the conse
quent degradation. Still she peisevered, and
Li r fiLmls supported her with their lull ere
deuce. There U no doubt that she and Lord
Ferrers had known each other when boy aud
jiirl in the eiunc Milage. After they had been
separated for years, Lord Ferrers received an
anonymous letter, advising him to go to a ball
nt Tain worth: "There will, to my knowledge,
be a young lady.nt the ball whom I wish you to
see and dance with. She is very beautiful, has
dark hair and eyes in short, she is haughty and
graceful as a Spaniard, tall and majestic as a
Circassian, beautiful as nu Italian; I can say no
more."
Four letters in this strain wero produced in
court. Sir Frederick Thcsiger, in the course of
line of his most adroit aud successful cross
examinations, showed through the young lady's
mother that these letters must have been
written by her daughter, the plaiutiiT. On thi3
point it was that her case broke down. It was
also suggested by Sir Frederick that the love
letters purporting to be Lord Ferrers', but
which by no possibility could be his, weic
forged by the pluiutiil. In her pamphlet Miss
Snith acknowledged that tiice four silly
romantic lelleis were written by her, with a
view ol bringing abr.ut a renewal ot old acquain
tance, lrat she altogether denies tn:it her con
fession ot this lact involves the i ejection of her
case. It is a lact worth mentioning, that her
leading counsel, the Solu-itor.f ienenil, was absent
alinot eat i rily during the progress of the cause.
Missbiuith declares that if the individual whom
she repeatedly met an. 1 there was soruo
conDrmatory tideinc of this statement wa3
tot Lord Ferrers, there w 113 some oue who was
like him, aud v, ho assumed his name. H is, of
com se, possible that some personation of this
kind might hae been dice ted. It was made
clearer than sunlkl.t that Lord Ferrers had run
the chance ot being ma le tho victim of a con
spiracy. Possibly sue may have been made tho
dupe of some designing person acquainted with
the previous circumstances and her romantic
disposition. rcrua.s, also, at an nge when the
judgment is unripe, and the temperament less
governed, she may have been influenced by
passion and ambition, and that abnormal cun
ning which under such circumstances is often
developed in Ihe young. Let us hopo that iu
cither case the evrorj of youth were atoned lor
by a iisclul and well-balanced life. At auy rate,
this remarkab.e tnal ioruis a curious chapter in
family history, and the vicissitudes of the cause
give us some 6ingul.tr illustrations ot Luck.

TUE "ALMANAC U U0T1IA."
From the rail Mall Gazette.
There are few among the signs of the new
year of which we welcome tho appearauce on
our library table with more of calm satisfaction
than our old friend, at once polite and instruc
tive, the Almanack de Go'ha. There is in its
pages a combination of gentility with useful
knowledge such as we meet with in the converse
of a well-informed foreign nobleman of
Irreproachable pedigree. If the Peerage is
justly denominated the British snob's Bible, the
Almanack dc Cotha may pass as the manual of
devotion for the continental variety of tho same
specks. It lies before us now, in its clean and
sobur covering, tainting the year 1869 with its
accustomed "Avis aux amateurs et protecteurs
de l'Almanach de Oot'naj" printed with the
utn.ost economy of space, yet swollen, as its
editors inform us, trom less than 300 pages
in 1&1C to Bcatly 1100 by constantly increasing
press of matter. Its frontispiece greets us
with the lovely "sympathetic" face of Mario
Grande Duchesse de Kussie, the same who inte
rested us all iu this country live vears aso bv

uiruy oi uer name, us me rnucess JJagmar,

that this last section has bv decrees usurneil on

vice, have encroached In the popular mind on
the province of roval and aristocratic bfi.
It is amusing to observe tho dexterity with
which the compilers of this universal favorite
have adapted it from time to time to the chang
ing exigencies of its leaders. It professes to
have attained its hundred and sixth year. But
the earliest volume which wo happen to have
steu ib that for 17t8: just before the landmarks
of the old world began to be obliterated by the
revolutionary deluge. Its moderate bulk was
then swelled by teutimeuttd anecdotes, travel
lers' ttories, lucts iu natural history, and .the
like; the pages of its diary are diversified with
neat little steel engravings, in the manner of
Chodowicski, representing scenes in the popular
novel uaroiine von Liitcnieiu." tiguty pages
contain tbe account of about three huudred
"pncely lumilies;'' that is, sovereign or quasi
sovereign, tor the Holy Roman Empire as yet
fubsisted m all its groteequer variety, and its
high feudatories, counts and barous,
bisnops, abbots, and two or threo abbesses,
figure by the side of emperors and kings. The
statistical part Is compiled according to the
best available knowledge of the time. Europe
had then about ICO.000,000 of inhabitants; our
almanac for 1H00 gives it 2tO,00O,0U0. In
military force Prussia ranked already next to
Russia aud Austria, having the extraordinary
relative number of 200,000 soldiers with only
6,000,000 of people. A table of the population
of the principal European cities in 17H8 shows
that almost all ol them, iu the busy ami com
mercial parts, have doubled and trebled in
numbers since that time; a few iu the South
have remained nearly stationary; two only
Amsterdam aud Veuicc whose glory is iu the
past, have actually diminished.
The almanac lor 18011 enumerates the nnraei
and pedigrees ot thirty. eight Europeau sove
reigns only, tho list becoming almost every year
"beautilully less," and containing even now
one, that ol the Queen of Spain, which is re
tained rather in a courtly spirit than iu tint 0f
hard reality. Short as it is, ih.- catalogue still
comprehends a variety extending from the
gigantic to Ihe iuiinitely suiull, Iroiu the Czar
ol Russia, with his fifty councillors of state and
army of fifty divisions, down to Lichteiiitein,
and ReuB:--Scblciz aijd KeiibS-Greiz, and Monaco,
with his uid s-de-camp aim oue "daino du
pulais." The moimrchs of this geoeratiou do
not seem to be a very long lived race. Only
nine are above sixty jeais old; ouly live have
reigned thiriy years.
Tho princely " non-sovereign" families-In
early volumes tanked with sovereign now lorm
a class apart. The diguity of prince, entitling
its owner to the privilege of a red bat aud a
paragraph in the Ainmuacti de Ouilia, is now
ravin r an anomalous compound of times past
and preseut. Tho Prince Furst, 'foremost''
was once, us we have seen, a sovereign iu his
own dominions, saving only his feudal alle
giance lo the paramount power, the empire.
But after the empire had been quietly dissolved,
sixty ytars ago, the rigut to confer ihe
princely title was usurped, with the consent
of tho German Confederation, by sovereigns
who themtelves had previously been feudatories
only. 'Ihe list, therefore, as it at present stands,
exhibits a very miscellttueou assemblage, Irom
Italian and German families which once com
manded Slates and armies, and whose origiu is
lost in the nlpht of early time Croy, Robau,
Furatenberg, Colcnna, Orsiui down to the latest
products ot the revolutionary wars Murat,
Blueher, Hullo. It comprises some French,
Dutch, Hungarian, and Polish families also.
But those aristocracies which never had connec
tion with Germauy those of tho northern
countries, Spain, England and the graud old
nobility of Venice -furnish no coutigent to the
well-horn regiment ot the Almanack de Qolha.
Some forty princely families are classed apart
as ci-devant sovereigu, those of princes
"mediatized" after the fall of the German
fmpire, to which the title of Serene Highness
Durcltlaught, more properly "transparency"
was graciously vouchfated by the authority of
li llirmin Hint in 1&91
Tho tint of Counts with the title "Erlaucht"
Miin.irinn.i fntiown that of Princes: and then
follows tho really valuable portion of our
courtly almanac, the "Annuaire Diplom.
tlque," comprising not only an abridged court
calendar ot every State, with the names of all
Its pilnclpal oilicers, but also a mass of statisti
cal information respecting them. It Is a
slnpnlar testimony to the cosmopolite tendencies
of the age that our almanac tor this year com
prehends not only all the America republics,
small and great, and tho black commonwealths
ofllayti and Liberia, but also the empires of
Persia, China, and Jnpau, with the last accounts
of tho pending controversies between the
Micado aud the Talcoun, aud tho hundred and
ninety-six "prince-vassals" with their incomes
of $2 13,000.000, and their military forces, and
the national Imports ana exports, computed
with a wonderful assumption of accuracy.
Omniscience is, porhaps, the foible of the
A'manach de Qotha, as it was said to be of tbe
great Cambridge luminary, Dr. Whewell. But
It is fair to add that its compilers have at alt
events habitually shown singular industry in
compiling their names aud figures from the
very latest nutnontics, wnerever trustworiuy
authoiities can really be found.

First Mortgage Bonds
AT PAR.
Muc Hundred ami Sixty Allies
Of the line West fromOmaha are nov completed, and
the work is going on through tho Winter. As the dis
tance between the finished portion of the Union and
Central Pactlio Railroads Is now less than 400 miles,
and both Companies are pushing forward tbe work
with great energy, employing over 30.0C0 men, there
can be no doubt that the whoio
Grand Llue to the PaciHc
Will ljcOpeu forltuMnrss In 111 Summer
or iso'J.
The regular Government Comrnlsslouors have pro
nounced the Union Paclilo Railroad to be FIRST
CLASS In every respect, and the Special Commission
appointed by the President saya:
"Taken as a whole, TH K UNION PACIFIC R 1IL-
ROAD HAS BEEN WELL CONSTRUCTED. AND
THE GENERAL ROUTE FJll THE LINE EX
CEEDINGLY WELL SELECTED. The energy and
perseverance with which the work has been urged
forward and the rapluity with which it has been
executed are wltboul parallel In history, and In gran
deur and magnitude of undertaking It hat
never been equalled." The report coneludes
by saylDg that "the conn try has reason to con
gratulate Itself that this great work of national Im
portance Is so rapidly approaching cumpleilon under
such favorable auspices." The Company now have in
use 137 locomotives and nearly Sooucars of all descrip
tions. A large additional equipment Is ordered to be
ready In the Spring. The grading la nearly completed,
aad ties distributed lor i:o iulle. In advance ot the
western end of tbe track. Fully 120 aiiles of Iron lor
new track are now delivered west of the Missouri
River, and 90 miles mere are ci route. Tho total ex
penditures for coustmcilon purposes In advauce of
the completed portion of tha roxd Is not less than
eight million dollars
Resides a donation irom the Government of 12.50J
acres of land per mile, tho Comnauy Is eu'ltledto a
subsidy In U. S. Bonds on Us Hue a'l completed and
accepted, at the average rale of ab ml -t,uOJ per mile,
according to the dltlkul'.lea encountered, for which
the Government takes a Becond lieu as security. The
Company has already received iJ4.0"8,oi.O of this
subbldy, being In full on the 940 miles that have bueu
examined by the United btates Conim'salouurd.
UoYcrnment Aid Security or the Bonds.
By Us charter, the Company Is permitted to Issue
Its own FIRtiT MORfUAUE BONDS to tbe same
amount as the Uovernment Bonds, ami no more.
These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all Its equipments. Such a mortgage npon
what, for a loDg time, will bathe only railroad con
necting the Atlantic and PaclUo Htates, takes the
highest rank as a safe security. The earnings from
the way or local business for the year ending Juno 30,
18G8, on m average of 472 miles, were over FOUR
MILLION EOLLA.RS. which, alter paying all ex
penses, were much more than saUlcleut to cover al
Interest liability upon that distance, and the earn
logs lor the last live months have been 42.3s6.870.
They would have been greater if the road bad not
been taxed to lis utmost capacity to transport Its own
material for construction. The Income from the
great passenger travel, the China freights, and the
supplies for the new Rocky Mountain States and Ter
ritories, must be ample for all interest and other lia
bilities. No political action can reduce the rate of
interest. It most remain for thirty years six per
ctnt. jitr annum in uold, now equal to between eight
and nine per cent. In currency. The principal is then
payable In gold. It a bond with such guarantees were
issued by the Government, Its market price would
not be less than from 20 to 23 per cent, premium. As
these bondstare Issued under Uovernment authority
-and supervision, npon what is very largely a Gov-
ernment work, they must ultimately approach Gov
ernment prices,
