It lay in one of the fairest spots in all the mid-land counties, and yet such a ghostly desolate, haunted place I could not even have conceived beforo I saw it. I had seen ruined mansions before, and I had walked in rank, neglected and forgotten parks; but it seemed to me that the isolation and the desolation here were dill'erent. I told the vieir so as he took mo round tho empty house, pointing out the remnants of past beauty, which were even yet distinguishable through the blight of decay. "lint you must not compare this,' hesaid, "with ruins )mr it simple. Tho simple fact is this that estate is in chancery. In the west wing there is a door, which, witli a lit tle management and strength, I can open. Would you like to see within? as far as you can, I mean, for it only gives access to three rooms." The door opened into a small anteroom, so small that a couch and chair and tablo, with a couple of shelves filled with faded books, seemed quite tj fill it. The vicar opened another door opposite to that by which wo had entered, and I followed him into a large and lofty bed-chamber, whose satin hangings might have been n brilliant crimson once, but now they wero faded to a yellow brown. nd they hung in tatters where they wero worn by ihe hands which had once been used to draw or lilt them, and, from end to end, were eaten into holes by myriads of moths. About tho room ivcro valuable und handsome ornaments and books; and tho walls wero covered witli paintings, so beau tiful and so little hurt by linio that thry seemed to mock the worn and faded furui tit re. "Can there bo finer paintings even iu the picture galleries than iliese?" I asked tho vicar, ns he unlocked another door opposito to that by which we hud entered. "No; thoso aro picked from the gallery, the choicest that wero there. And iu this room are tho choicest portraits. Come." Ho had opened tho door, and as ho spoko ho pushed aside a heavy padded curtain, un der which I passed into a rodm exactly tho size ami shape of the bed room, but furnish ed as a sitting loom, music room, and all in one furnished not only handsomely and luxuriously, as I eonld seo through ull the disfigurement and decay of time, but fur nished curiously, as if a hundred (lilfc'rent tastes had been at work, or one taste, might be, varying restlessly from year to year.

Then he smiled his cool and hand some smile, and quietly advise I her, if she lied at all, not to lio to li or own shame. When the police came and look away the child, stretching his arms nut to Ills mother, she stood with while and rigid lips in the great hall, not even following him with her eyes, for they were fixed upon the handsome face of the young squire. The boy, a pretty, timid child of scarcely VJt years of age,wns brought before tho mag istrates, and told bis tale with many tears. Ho had been walking quietly home the evening before, when two men overlook him and walked with him. They talked a great deal together, though not all to him ; but when ho turned from the turnpike ready to go home to his mother's cottage, they bade him walk a little further with them and they would give him. a present for his mother. Ho went on a long way lie thought it and then they took linn into an empty cottage and shut the door, and kept him in there until i t was quite dark. They carried him then into the Hall, as he could not have found his way iu the dark ; and they put him through a small broken hole in a win dov,aud bade him unfasten a door he would find close to him, or, if he did not, he must stay there in the dark forever. This was all the child told, but it was plain to sec now he hud been lrigliteued by the threats of thoso villains. I believe ono of tho magistrates suggested that the terrible fear that the boy had uu ergone had been sullicient punishment for im ; but tlio idea was quietly smiled tu scorn, l no child was sentenced to solitary confinement for two years aye, though the poor foreign woman fell on Iter knees beforo tho squire and pleaded to bim as she might havo pleaded to her Ciod lielore the time of tho sentence was half told tho doctor ordered tho boy to be re moved to tho hospital.

She looked down vacantly upon tho nfi'ercd money ; then slio stepped back a lew paces, and raising her hands solemnly to heaven, called down its judgment upon the master of tlio house ; pleading that the punishment to which he had doomed her boy might visit him.

A meeting had been arranged very quietly, at which it was hoped ho might exert an iiitlucuce on the doubtful men and change tho political complexion of the party. The Tildens heard of the proposed meeting about noon of the day upon which it was to bo held.

Tho effect was electric; it thrilled tho as sembly nnd completely deslrt-ycd tho objectn of the meeting. Mr. Tilden. who had watched this finan cial revolution of 1837 from tlio beginning, and knew its merits as thoroughly, perhaps, ns any man of his time, undertook a defense of tlio President's scliemo and to overthrow tho sophistries of his enemies iu a speech which lie delivered in New Lebanon on tlio third day of October, 1840. No ono can read this speech without marvelling that men like Webster and Nicholas lllddle, to whoso arguments Mr. Tilden especially ad dressed himself, could ever have becomo tho champions of a system under which tho rev enues of the nation wcro made the basis of commercial discounts. It is moro marvel lous, however, that in so short u tlmo our pcoplo should have forgotten, ns to a very considerable extent they appear lo have done, tho lessons taught iu this speech, nnd thoso still belter taught by the war then waged by the Democratic party with tho policy of Inflation, irredeemable currency, and irresponsible credits. At the time this speccli was delivered tho Whigs wero medi tating tlie re-establishment of tho United States liauk if they could succeed in divid ing tlio Democrats on tho sub-treasury scheme. This effort provoked Mr. Tilden to review the history af tho bank and expose its ill-founded claims to bo regarded in any sense as what it claimed to be, "a regulator of the currency." What ho says upon that subject possesses to tho reader of to-day not only considerable historical interest, but, is pregnant with lessons which we fear will never be out of season. Upon hisadmUsinu to the bar Mr. Tilden opened an oflice iu Piue street, in tho city of New York. Iu 1844, iu anticipation and preparation for tlio election which resulted in making James 1C. Polk President, and Silas Wright Governor of the State of New York, M r. Til den, in connection witli John L. O'SuIlivau, founded the newspaper called the Daily AVics. In the fall of 1845 ho was sent to tho As sembly from the cily of New York,ai.d whilo a member of that body was elected to tho convention for tho remodeling of the consti tution of the State, which was to commence its sessions a few weeks after the Legislature adjourned. In both of these bodies Mr. Til den was a conspicuous authority, and left a permanent impression upon tlie legislation of the year, and especially upon all tho'new constitutional provisions affecting the fiimn ccsjof the State and the management of its system of canals. The defeat of Mr. Wright in the fall of 1840, and the coolness which had grown up between the friends of President Polk and the friends of tho late President Van Buren resulted fortunately fur Mr Tilden, if not for tho country, in withdraw ing his attention from politics and concentrating it upon hia profession. Hn inherited no fortune.but de pended upon his own exertions fur u liveli hood. Thus far his labors for the Stale or in l.tj nrn:,lnn l.n.l .,.,1 l.a.n l.tnullna li. (1.3 jf,wna.i(uii UllU uu, uvtu iui,iiiii,Q,auu despite his strong tastes and pre-eminent qualifications for political life, he was able, to discern at that early period the importance in this country, at leist, of a pecuniary in dependence for tho successful prosecution of a political career. With an assiduity and a concentration of energy which havo charac terized all tho transactions of his life, Mr. Tilden now gave himself up to his profes sion. It was not many years bef.re he be came as well known at the bar as he had before been known as a politician. His busi ness developed rapidly, and though he con tinued to take more or less interest in politi cal matters they were not allowed after 1857 to interfere with his professional duties. He built up a reputation in a few years ut tho bar of New York city which gave him a leading placo iu tlio profession. In the not ed caso of the liurdell-Cunnliigham contested will, where apparently insuperablo proof of the marriage of Mrs. Cunningham to tho murdered llurdell were presented, Mr. Til- den's resources as a lawyer were brought in to conspicuous notice, lio succeeded in de feating the claim of Mrs. Cunningham and removing all doubt of her participation in tlio llurdell murder, notwithstanding tho previous acquittal. His connection with the celebrated suits of tho Pennsylvania Coal Company against tho Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, tho Cumbciland Coal Company against its directors (a Maryland case), and other diffi cult litigation connected witli corporations gave evidence of such superior attainment in this particular branch of legal business that his clientage was greater than it wa3 pos sible for him to attend tn.
