"Of course, any dear," answered Tubbs, :lonipously, and at the same time winking terribly, (for he has a visional; which always keeps his eyelids moving,) "your remark is most judicious. Indeed, if . the truth be spoken, even this prudential irrangeinent will be unnecessary ; for I think of giving Gray notice at once,, aid getting rid of him this very morning. For—for—this get ting-on-rapid system`of his will nev er do. if it continues, Mrs. Tubbs, we shall soon cease to be master and mistress of Goshen House, for here's a letter from Bailey's father, praising his boy'it rapid progress in arithme -tic.

There are a me worthy souls to speak in-this p Initive Yorkshire villsge—the par-, isli clerk, the cobbler, the carrier-- teen he hurries onwa rd with a brisk step toward the moors, which 'lie so high and 'far away ; they must be crossed to reach the railway by which he intends to go. Turning by•and-by qut of the more beaten highway, he proceeded down a lane with high bahks and hedge. rows on either side. It lies deep in snow, though traversed by , recent wheels 'and winds' away presently towards woodland and river scenery of exquisite beaUty, though wreath. ed in snow and crisped by frost.— Here is a cottage, old fashioned and substantial,, an exquisite •. garden. round it, an d with a glowing pracanthus. The berries are mass ed in coronals ; the leaves lie around in beds of richest green. Bat the windows—at least toward the line —are shuttered r no one seems keep ing Christmas within. But as Robert Gray leans upon the paling, looking. toward a little window that Cow is a bowery with scarlet and green—in summer with the myriad waxen trumpets o f . the yellow jasmine—a man plods by all touches his hat. "If y,er, a wanting Mr. Watson, sir," he says, "you won't find hhn at home today. Him and the misses, be _gone to see their youngest sou.— Old Tab, the maid 'a minding the house ; but she's up stairs dressing' I dummy now." "Nell, Mr. Watson deserve a hol iday. Gone for long "No I I reckon they'll be. home to-morrow. Miss Manantia, the daughter, ain't wP 'em. She's gone to Master 'Fielding's, across the moors, to keep we the chil dren. She's a partic'lar favorite there—a sort o' coesin to th' ousels." So saying, Hodge again touches his hat, and proceeds. . When the honest fellow k is out of sight, Gray opens, the gate gently.. and steals in. Then fromtip before mentioned bowery window he cuts_a spray of pyraCanthus with his pocket knife, and coming forth again, hur -1 ries away like one guiltyof a serious sin. When he is far out of sight of the cottage, on his path again to the highway, he looks at it long aed ten derly, and then.opening his knapsack lays it within. This shall go with him far and far away ; it'grew about letiibowery window—she .whom he bas' met once or twice in country homes—she whom he has spoken to a few times—she whern he has look ed 'upon and loved. Like a man who has accomplished a Mission, he now walks steadily on ward, regains the highway, and be gins the ascent toward the moors— to the lower ones, which . lie at the base of the higher and 'more remote. Deeper became the snow, wilder the scene, neither man, nor bird, por beast giving, life to the whitened waste. By-and-by he comes to a few Solitary homesteads, and beyond these to a lonely graveyard, where the, dead sleep eternally amid the great hush of nature. He; must pause a moment, for here lies a poor school boy who died of cold and fever.— , Gray pureed him, Gray loved him, Gray cannot turn him away—per- I haps forever—without saying fare well to the insentient dust. As he diverges to the gate of e trance into this lone turiaground, middle-aged gentleman comes for ward toward it, from , the iear of the small thatched church, and striving to undo the latch, cannot; his fingers maybe cold He may , have , entered the graveyard by some other'route: For days there has been no passervin. Be this as it may, the gentleman can not make egress. Gray hurries for wait', and from his side undoes the latch. " Thank you," says the gentleman, raising his hat, " a courtesy is alsiays pleasant, even on a lonely Yorkshire moor. I thank you—a happy AThrist "mas—good day." He is a handsouie thouichtful man of middle' life ; his hair just touched with gray, his man ner prompt, his words 'curklilui , one whose dealings are- many with men ' and the world. Perhaps he is a Yorkshire manufacturer-who knows? —many have factories in the hollows Of these moors—rich, exact, earnest men—gathering whole populations round them, and Making steam their, - sight, Gray the stranger is out of sight, Gray passes in, and following the footsteps in the snow, - they led him to the simple grevestone 'at •the rear of the church, off which the snow has, been recently , brushed ; on it is re, corded the death of two, old person , ' 'nlan wife—ylmi died some five year; before.

" Why, cross the beck, by the bridge, and take the road afore thee, But eb, - sir ! it's coming on a wild night for the moors ; and now I'M thinking, if ye go by Graystones-- Mr. Fielding's park anent there you'd find it more sheltered like, an , a bit nigher still.

'take thee by Graystone-pool—a might' piece of water, all frozen over 'now—and to;. ward the end leads up the way on to the moors.. Ton can't miss' it, thO' its coming on a wild night,.l fear:?. Gray hurries on, passes the mill, hands' cottages-,aimost all of their' tenantless 'to-day—finds his way tO thepool, and so to its- farthest side, nearest the moor. lAs he approaches the road leading thereto, be sees, a man dressed as a ''servant standing on . the bank, as though attending three or four boy s,, who are , skating up aid down the pond:. They are all of/them fine, handseme, athletic lads, and Gray knows them td-be his old drawing pupils, the Fieldings. And though he has no' intention of ap proaching them, for they are skating some distance froth where he has ;to urn , off, he cannot i refrain from say ing a moment to watch them.. As be does so, a bell at the lan 'rings lorid and clear ; its echoes - are taken np, in the solemn moors, and re-echoed back again. " Genttemen,v calls the servant, " there is the • that dinner-bell ; you had better return nbw." They prepare as 1 it seems to obey by skating toward the shore ; and Gray turns away, not willing .to be recognized and detained; for he feels desolate and low in heart For him no welcoming feast is spread, no ea listens for him, no !eye expects hinit. Snow before him, snow behind hini--- a sad and 'solemn, Christmas .to him. Yet the snows of winter hide the' buds of- spring, and out of our sor rows our truest joys are often born. He his turned . hist face and his steps, away, from'the pool toward the moor. when.a crash, folloWed,, by aw. ful cries,.met his ear.
