Dereendlng the hill we went titre,

well cultivated farms which Were
formerly nano of the most radii&

belonged to what 'Washington - turd
railed the Dogue Rtin;Farin and the

the Muddy HO Farm, and the Riv

were in cultivation ; the not was in

That settled the question as to its be
ing an Easter egg at once ; but, at
tin, same time, it roused m3%curlosi
ty to know what event this novel
souvenir was intended to commemo-
rate.
I luul just takenzp my quarters at
the "Crown and - Dolphin," with the
intention of spending a few dayi of,
my Easter vacatk*t atthat venerable
hostelry, which was tine of those old
fashioned country inns--big, ram
bling num3 gabled houses—well
known to travelers in 'the old stage
coaching days. A good many of them
still existrup and down England, but
their glory has departed, and there
is an air of solitude and desolation
about them like that. which reigned
in the halls of Balelutha, over Which
Ossian sang his melancholy dirge.
Mine host was Joseph Clarke, a port
ly, red faced, plethoric personage,
whose . filature! irascibility was, not
sOftened by constant attacks of. the
gout. However, he was-civil to nte,
his only guest, and was rather a plats
ant cram an ion of an evening, when
he and I smoked our long clays to
gether beside the parlor the. Every
morning at breakfast that egg used
to attract -my attention, and every.
day. I resolved that I would satisfy
my curiosity by asking old Clarke
the history of it; but, somehow, I.
felt diffident in his presence: It
might be. some fanilly matter, into
which a stranger had noright toprY;
sUI held my peace.
-One morning—Easter Monday, in
fact—l was sitting, as usual, in the
best parlor, in solitary' grandeur,
when a knock at the door k and then
minehost and hissifeentered. There
was an tippmanto of confusion in
their looks which puzzeled me. The
mystery was soon solved by my host,
who blurted out: "Mr. Morley, sir,

Well, after what • Betty Said, I

This young Chabot, he lived in
!edgier; in the Arillstge, in the very
house where our- Lott' lives now.
Old Billy Havos and Ills wife lived
therethen, and Billy says to Erie, as
wo were sleek in' our piles together
one °yenta' beside the clubroom fire
"Joe," says he, "my old !oman tells
me MI Dr. Carter won't let that
young French chap have his darter."
"Nonsense," says I, "you don't
ineaU to say young Chabot has asked
for one of 'em !!! - • • •
"Ay S that ho has, Joe • and old
Carter stormed anit dreadfulsworee at
him, so mySally says; but how she
come to hear. it, unles the young
gentleman told her hisseif, I don't
know."
"Which of 'em did he ask for—did
Sally Kw?"
. "The young 'un, I believe."
"All! then," says 1, "ye may de
pend upon it, it's bemuse he didn't
choose t'other. Ye see, the 'young
'un is young, and can afford to wait;
but the old 'uu, she gettin' on in
vmrtiond it'll be hard to get rid of
her soon."
"Well, there's a deal' of :truth ti
that, Joe," says Blhiy. - Just then my
mbous came in, and lillly had to go a
mihute after •, so we didn't have any
more talk about old Carter and 114.4
darter that night.
Howsumever, young Chabot staid
on and seemed as friendly_ with the
old man as ever, so I began to think
that Billy Hawes' missus had been
gammonin' him with some cock and
bull story ns wasn't true.
'Well, time went on. Christmas
rune and went, and a mortal cold
Christma4 it was. Poor old filly
Hawes, he was laid up that bad with
it that I never sawn sight of hiM for
three months afterwards.
On • Easter Monday, old Carter
went to Norfolk on buSincas.
N. C. lt
.The day after he had gone,about six
o'clock In the evenin' young Caabot
wines intothe bar, and says tome:
"Mr. Clarke, I've got a friend here
who has come to see me. We're go
ing to travel op to London to-night
by the last train from Welbeuch,.
want to know if you'll drive us over
,to Welbeach In your shandry. I've
got a couple of small portmanteaus,
and that's all our luggage.
•
"\vhat 'time d'ye want to start
from this?" I asked.
"Oh, a little after ten--say a quar
ter past."
"Very well,then sir," mys I; "I've
no objection to drive ye; but I hope
ye'll not keep me waltm' for It's a
cold night to let a horse stand about
to harness."
- "Q, no liar of that. We'll be here
punctually to the minute," says he;
and withcsut more words walks about
his business-
Ye see we had no line neiurerthan
Welbeach in those days,
and that
was a Food live' miles off. I had a
=Min mare then; that could cover
the distance easy In twenty minutes.
Well;-by, ten minutespast On, the
- shun:airy was ready, and just on the
miuute of the quarter my young gen-
Mullin comes up with his friend and
ahoy earryin' theportmanteaus. The
horse bein''risaly,and we three retuly,
too, without more ado they hopped
into the trap. Mr. Chabot sat infront
with me, and his friend perched him- -
self on the back seat, and we drove
oft
of
hadn't much time to look at Mr.
Chabot's.friend, but he seemed about
the same height as theyoung French:
man, with a little more beard. and
mustachios. Mi. Chabot and, me,
wo talked away pretty fast, but the
gent behind 'didn't put in a word;
thought, for that matter, it ain't com
fortable to talk from the back seat to
a party in front. 7/Jitte Mr.rhabot
turned around and said :
"Have you any cigars there, Phil
ip ? I dare say . Clarke, would
like one . ; and I'm sure I sheuld. , !.
",‘O, yes," says Mr: Philip, and
hands-over a case full. I took one,
Mr. Chuhot took one, and as I heard
Mr. Philip strike a match directly
afterwards, I concluded he took one
too.
My old mare soon did the distance,
and before we had been twenty min
utes on the road the red lights of the
station came in sight-.
We used td have a practice then—
it's gone out mostly now though—o'
tisk in' somethin' short at Easter time,
out of the shell of an Easteregg. Mr.
Chabot propdsed that we should bare
somethin' short in this way; so I .
pulled up at a public house opposite
the station, for we: had ten minutes
to spare.. Mr. Chabot and I Jumped
down to go into thepublic house, but
Mr. Philip said he'd go on and get
the tickets.
I says: "You'd better have a alp
.out o' the Easter egg. sir; it's 'held
lucky here to do that ; and, anyway,
it'll warm ye." ,
He wanted a deal o' oilman', but
at last he agreed ;so we had an Eas
ter eggshell between us: Mr. Chat
bot drank first. Then Mr. Philip
tried his hand. Eut. la! I 'saw - te
warn't used to neat spirits, he made

than I'd have now that you're Queen

It was a long (Wl:eider° the old vit.
man would believe me, but she come
round at last; add when old Carter
came to hear of it, my word didn't he
swear and wasn't be mad Didn'the
pitchinto ine too ! But I gavehintas
good ns / got; mid when he told me I
halped.his daughter to - escape I gaVe
him the lie fiat. Hesworehe'd baio
the law.on me. But young Chabot
wroto a letter exonerating me from
all blame, and aaydn'. I Was as lane
cent as a babe unborn, which Was'
gospel truth; and the old man came
to me afterwarda and said he was sor-.
ry forthe hasty woidshehad spoken.
I had a letter from the youngscantp
too thanking me in the name of hlin7
eilfand :wife (they were married as
soon as they got to London) for the
kind servito I had done theirt. f He
said Mr. Phillip ;wished me to know
that though he was willing to forgive
he never could foraet the • agony and
torture I had put him to by pressing
him Into biking that dreadibt hot
brandy out of the lucky eggshell, and
hewers afraid to refuse lest he should
excite suspicion: • •
After holdittgout against 'em des
perate for six months or more, old
eerier came around and gave in, and
made the best of It; and it wasn't: a
bad thing, for yeung Chabot had Mat
ey otitis oWn.' Itwas*hefi they wane
down herd,man' and wife, •to stay
with the o ld man, that they gave the
yonder egg you :asked- about. - It's a
pretty thing, though I don't know
it's made of, some kind of plas
ter I takejt. They said it was a, fit
ting token to recall that memorable
night;
night; and more especially by Mkt
Susie—Mire 'Chabot that Is—said to
keep alive the remembrance of that '
awful cog shell full of brandy... .
I
Well was riled a bit at first at the
trick they had played on me, and at
the way they haul made me their blot,
but 'have never,regretted dohe thein
the service. I believe It was a kintl
ness to them after all; for they ]oval
one another, and they'd have been
miserable lethey had been separated.
And it us any belief, sir, that if there
was a little more of that sort of ks'e
which made them two young folks
run away rather than beparted, be,
tween many husbamis and wives that
get married in, aproper and respecta
bly way, this world' 'ud be a sight
happier than it is. .

During the late War a soldier; of
one of the New York regiments,
home on a furlough, visited NeW
York for the _first- time in- his life.
Going up cne of the by-streets one
night, paying homage to Bacchus
during the day,. he fell in with :a
crowd of colored people on. their way
to church. In his state of inebriation
he very naturally went With the
crowd into the church, thinking it a
theatre, and congratulating himself
on hisgettlngintolhe honse without
having to pay the tumid fee, and'amt
inusly waiting for theeurtain to rise;
The clergyman arose and said :.•
"My bruddertng, in dat last and
great day, when tie trump shall blow,
and desheep shall go to the right and
do goats to de leg, who wants to be de

After a shore imusele said ai
raising his voleei "I say, who'll

A long pause ', followed, • when he
said, in satin louder tone: wholit be

Thesoldier supposing the perfortn 7
