Mien Ifitferirm Lester* Once More.
We refer again to the delightful 'Letters of
Mary Ru.ssell Mitford, pasted together into a
'"Life?' by Rev., A. G. L'Estriinge, and just
issued by Bentley, London.
The veritable compiler, --Mr. Harness, who
died before he could reap ,the.fruits of his long
and difficult 'toil, thus states 'his purpose and
"As one of the earliest of Miss Mitford's
friends, I was prompted to give the story of
belt life, not• only by my admiration of her
genius, bat from feeling that such an example
4.1 felf-saerilice to filial duty as her life affords
fought not to be left without a record."
We get the following account of
141613 AJITFORD'S FATHER. ,
The George Mitford whom Miss Russell
married was the younger son ef , a younger
brother of Mitford of Bertram Castle in North
umberland. He had been pupil of John
Hunter, and, after graduating at Edinburgh,
bad settled himself at Alresford to try his
chance of obtaining practice as a physician.
He had excellent natural abilities, and , though
they bad been but little cultivated, and his
reading was not very extensive beyond Whig
newspapers and party pamphlets, ho possessed
a certain kind of tact by which he seldom
failed to discern and appreciate merit in any
work of literature or art. He had high animal
spirits, and a joyous constitutional good
tumor, so long as he was pleased; but it was
accompanied by a corresponding amount of
irascibility, if his wishes were thwarted. He
was not devoid of generous emotions; and,
partly from good will and partly from an irre
pressible desire of action, was ready to volun
teer his services for any neighborly kind office.
But he was at the same time utterly selfish
at heart, and incapable- of sacrificing the
Slightest inclination of his own for the welfare
of his 'wife or even of his daughter. His
manners were easy, natural, cordial, and ap
parently extremely frank; but he nevertheless
Met the world on its own terms, and was pre
pared to alloW himself any amount of • msin
eerily which seemed expedient to the occasion;
and though a very brief career of dissipation
bad reduced his pecuniary resources to the
lowest possible ebb, he was not only recklessly
extravagant, but addicted to high play.
"" 'Under these circumstances it is not strange
that he should have tried to make himself
agreeable to Miss Russell, an heiress with
28,0001. in money, besides houses and land,
though ten years his senior :
But it is-difficult to divine what could have
induced Miss Russell to cast a favorable eye on
his addresses—unless we suppose her to have
teen won by his extraordinary personal beauty.
That, in early manhood, must have been very
great indeed ; for although in middle life his
figure lost the lithe grace of Apollo and ex
unded into the larger proportions of Bacchus,he
retained—even as an octogenarian—its unmis
takable remains. In this description we of
course only speak of Dr. Mitford as' he appeared
table acquaintances. He must have possessed
some bright sterling domestic virtues which
were indiscernible to their eyes. Ie must
luxe been endowed with some latent good
qnallties which kept him constantly dear to his
wire and child- For, notwithstanding that
gradual diminution, first of their luxuries and
afterwards of their comforts, to which his •ex
tradagances reduced them, they were never
heard to complain of his conduct, nor appeared
to love him less, nor seemed to consider any
privations or exertions too great which for his
sake they were required to undergo.
Hiss Mitford once, in a letter to Elizabeth
Barrett Barrett, betrays some sense of her
father's unworthiness :
Oh ! my dear love, you cannot know what
that dreadful feeling is of one leaning upon
you whilst you have no power to bear him up
—of letting him fall through your own helpless
weakness.
Miss Barrett Barrett, by the by, must in those
days have been pretty, or at least attractive.
Miss Mitford writes to her father :
Miss Barrett has translated the most diffi
cult of the Greek plays (the Prometheus
Bound), and written most exquisite poems in
almost every style. She is sweet and gentle,
and so pretty, that one looks at her as if she
were some bright flower; and she says it is
like a dream that she should be talking to me,
whose works she knows by heart.
Miss Mitford in her letters is sometimes very
naive. We are amused to read her comments
on an "Impromptu on Mr. Whitbread," when
she was barely twenty, which she sends up to
her father in London to be shown in high
quarters: "I have called them impromptu to
excuse their incorrectness, though some may
suspect them to be impromptu fait a loisir ;
you must not betray the secret."
We shall now dip at random into these
thoroughly pleasant letters.
On the whole, Miss Mitford's'comments on
, the Narions literature of her period are credit
able to her acumen. Take, for example, the
following passing touches: •
Jan. 24, 1820.—Have you read "Ivanhoe 2"
Do you like it 2 What a silly question! What
two silly questions! You must have read, and .
you must have liked that most gorgeous and
magnificent tale of chivalry. I know nothing
so rich, so splendid, so profuse, so like old
painted glass or a gothic chapel full of shrines
and banners and knightly, monuments. The
soul, too, which is sometimes wanting, is there
in its full glory of passion and tenderness.
* But there is DO finding fault with a
book which puts one so much in mind. of Frois
sart. "Ivantoe" is more like him than any
thing that has been witnessed these three cen
turies.
In the same letter we have a notice of Hal
lam's Middle Ayes, "a very masterly work in
its way :"
He puts one in 'mind of Froissart in a dif
ferent way from "Ivanhoe," by making one
long every moment for 31r. Scott's picturesque
minuteness, instead of the large views and
sweeping generalities of the author. I don't
like philosophical historians who make wise re
marks and write fine dissertations; flo you?
Live for ever, the Burnets and the Clarendons!
Delightful tellers of what they saw.
And this is her notice of Pickwick to an
Irish friend:
June 30, 1837.—50 you have never heard of
the Pickwick Papers. Well! They pub
lish a number once a month, and print 25,000.
The bookseller has made about £lO,OOO by the
speculation. It is fun—London life—but with
out anything unpleasant; a lady might read it
all aloud ; and it is so graphic, so individual,
and so true, that you could curtsey to all the
people as you met them in the streets. I did
not think - there was a place where English was
spoken to which "Boz" bad net penetrated.
All the boys and girls 1:11k his fun—the boys in
the streets ; and yet they who are of the high
est taste like it the most. Sirßenjamin Brodie
takes it to read in his carriage between patient
and patient, and Lord Denman studies Pick
wick on the bench while the jury are delibera
ting. • 4 " * It is ralber.fragmentary, ex
cept the trial, which is as complete and perfect
as any bit of comic writing in the English lan-,
guage. You Musk read the Pickwick Papers.
It had been one of Dr. Mitford's secrets of
bow to run through three large fortunes, to
pull down a picturesque old hall near Reading
and build a large red-brick house in its place.
In deb time necessity compelled them to leave
this large house fOr a cottage, of which Miss
Mitford gives as'humorous an account as the
drearineM of the occasion «to one who ill bore
transplanting" would allow. It atlbrds oppor-
Utility for one ' of the frequent
_allusions
to her large dimensions. Gifted by
nature in many ways,we are led to understand
that personal beauty was not one of these
gifts, and that; from a child Miss Mitford'was
,
fat. The whole passage is a prettily'expressed
bit of resignation':
Apill,lB2o.—Notwithstanding all ,this, ''.the
cabin," as Bobadil says; is* convenient." It
'Within reach of my dear old •:walks ; the
banks where I find my, violets; the meadow
full of cowslips ; and the woods where the
wood-sorrel blows. * * Moreover, it is
an excellent lesson of condensation--one which
we all wanted. - Great as our merits might be
in some points, we none of us excelled in com
pression. Mamma's tidiness was almost as
difibie as her daughter's litter. Papa could
never tell a short story—nor could papa's
daughter (as you well know) overwrite a short
letter. I expect we shall be much benefited : by.
this Squeeze ; though at present it sits upon us
as uneasilras tightstays, and is Just as awk
ward looking. Indeed my &eat objection to a
small room always was • its extreme •nnbeeonv
ingness to 'one of my enormity. I really**
to fill it like a blackbird is a. goldfinch's cage.
The parlor looksi all me. Nevertheless " the
cabin is convenient," as I said before. , Its
negative merits are very great.
This,ls an example of the many touches of
portraiture which impress the reader so favor
ably with Miss -Mitford's amiability and . cons
pan ionablene,ss. Her letters are full of descrip
tions of the scenery about her f often very pic
turesque, but needing more space than we can
give. Thisrecipe,, however, for a perfect _day
is pleasantly condensed:
You often accuse me of never being pleased
with the weather, so I would have you 01) 7
serve that this present 31st of March, 1813, has
been, and is, exactly the very day that I should
like from the first of January to the last of De
cember ; rain enough to lay the dust : wind
enough to dry the rain; and sun enough to
warm the wind.
Her gossip, too,has often very prettytouches,
as where she relates the sobering effect of fine
clothes on a lively girl to whom she was to act
as bridesmaid:
liar head is a perfect milliner's shop. She
plans out her wardrobe much as Piddles might
have planned the Parthetion—has never
laughed since' her pads came home—never
smiled since she tried on her tissue gown—and
has bad no sleep since the grand question of a
lace bonnet with a plume, or a lace veil with
out one, for the grand occasion, came. into Us-
CUSMOII.
But one chief interest of her letters is the
portraits; characters and traits of distinguished
people who came in her way., She knew Cob
bett-:
March,lBl.7.—What do you think of Cob
bett's limning away ? Were you surprised at
it? I was not. We at one time knew a great
deal of this extraordinary man. • * • I
was sure from his whole conduct during his
past trial, at which time we saw him every
day, that he would never expose himself to a
second imprisonment. He has courage, but
he has no fortitude. He would fight, I dare
say, but he does not know how to suffer. He
was a sad tyrant, too, as my friends the Demo
crats sometimes are. Servants and laborers
fled before him. And yet, with all his faults,
he was a man one could not help liking when
one had fairly gotten over the shock of his
drill-sergeant abord. The coarseness and vio
lence of his political writings and conversations
almost entirely disappeared in his family circle,
and were replaced by a kindness, a good
humor, and an enjoyment in seeing and pro
moting the happiness of others which was in
finitely attractive in itself, and appeared per
haps to even greater advantage from the con
trast it exhibited with his sterner mood.
She goes to a public meeting (1814), and
hears the great speakers, who it seems hummed
and ha'd as great speakers do in our own day :
Much as I was delighted with the speakers, I
was beyond anything astonished at the want
of fluency under which most of them—parti
cularly Lords Grey and Rolland—labor. Lord
Grey has all the Ogle hesitation, and my noble
patron has my habit of liackering so completely
that he scarcely spoke three words without two
stops; but when we can get at his meaning it
is better than any one's.
She knew Coleridge, who was kind towards
her verses, and she attended his lectures. She
compelled a literary lady friend to go with her
to one of those wonderful displays, the
authoress of a poeth on the Pleasures of Friend
ship, on which she relates the following misad
venture:
The room was very full. The orator was
more than usually brilliant; and 1 had just got
Mrs. R. to confess that "he really was tolera-:
Me" (a wonderful confession considering she
was a Judy, and determined to dislike .him)
when to my utter dismay he began a period as
follows : " There are certain poems—or things
called poems—which have obtained considera
ble fame—or that which is called fame—in the
world ; I mean the Pleasures of Tea-drinking,
and the Pleasures of Wine-drinking, and the
Pleasures of Love, and the Pleasures of Non
sense, and the Pleasures of Hope." There,
thank God, the list ended, for his censure was
only aimed at Campbell, whom he proceeded
to abuse. But think what I felt while he was
going on with his "Pleasures," and 1 expected
the "Pleasures of Friendship" to come out
every moment. Mr. Rogers was just by, so
Mrs. Bowden had the comfort of company in
her' "SeilSationS; 'Whatever they fillglit• be, but
they had both 'the wit to keep them to them
selves.
She has her experience even of Dr. New
man. A young cousin goes up to Oxford;
taking a letter from her to an old friend, who
showed it to Mr. Newman: .„
hen next I saw Frank, he told me, some
what to my alarm (for it was in the very height
of the controversy), that he Owed to me the
kind notice of a great scholar. "1 breakfast
with him once a week," quoth Frank " and he
gives me the best advice possible."
," What,
about?" I inquired. "Everything," returned'
Frank, "the classics, history, mathematics,
general literature. He thinks me in danger of
.overworking myself at Greek—he, such a
scholar ! and tellspie to diversify my reading,
take exercise, and to'' get as much practical
knowledge and cheerful society as I can. lie
questioned me about Shakespeare's poetry and
the prose writings of Bacon.. In short, he
talks to me of every sort of subject except
what is called Tractarianismi and that he has
never mentioned."

RURAL LABOR IN ENGLAND.
A late British Agricultural Report yields
some interesting information, which we Will
classify under appropriate heads, as follows :
FEMALE FAILM-LADDILEILS-CONTRAIMMItY
EVIDENCE.
If we were to satisfy ourselves with the
l e opinions and statements of some of the wit
nesses, we should say that the employment of
women in field labor was fatal,' not onlyeto all
decency of language, but to all purity of
thought and all propriety of conduct. But
other testimony equally authoritative asserts
• that, although field employment is detrimental
both to the manners and ' l to the morals of
young girls working In
.the company of boys
and men, it does not injuriously affect the
characters of adult and married. women,
except under conditions which are other
wise prejudicial. •For instance, women
who have been brought up :wholly to field
labor as girls, and who hr their youth have
traveled about with gangs, are not likely to be
retitled in expression or very pure in morals.
Again, women who have been reared in hovels
constructed without regard to common de
cency are necessarily coarse and impure. But
these, it is evident, are a very different class
• from those Northumbrian matrons whose field
labor is only special or occasional, and Whose
earnings go to purchase, not the necessaries,
• but the luxuries of their tide cottages. And
if the witnesses who testify to the indelicacy
and coarseness of women's " field-talk " knew
something of the inner life of factory girls,
glovers, paper-makers, and all those who set
up some business of their own independently
ee of parental control, they would be less dis
'posed to throw exclusive blame on out
door work for evils which are un
fortunately common to all kinds of associated
labor by which the poorer classes earn their
daily bread. These evils in the case of the
female agricultural laborer are patent, obvious,
and obtrusive. Unlike those of other clauses,
I they are seen and heard in the open air. They
have, and can have, no secrecy or veil. The
1 worst of them meet the ear or eye at once.
• The censure which they provoke is provoked
by their openness and notoriety rather than by
their exceptional enormity. Such as they are,
they are to be regretted ; and those who de
plore their existence will rejoice to learn from
e this Report that the cause of them is under
going a slow extinction. Women are gradu
,, ally learning that they lose more by leaving
theirchildren, homes, and household work,
than they gain by wages for field-work, except
at harvesting and such times. A generation
or two hence few women will be found doing
AMY" but light and exceptional work in the
field. Even now Englishwomen boast that in
the northermost counties they are not expected
to submit to the dirty and ignominious drudgery
imposed upon the female farm-servant in
Scotland. But, supposing this labor to cease, it
j is a question whether delicacy_ of employment
. and decency of ,language will not have been
purchased at the cost of some hard, rough, but
useful qualities. The testimony of all the
most intelligent witnesses is, as we might sup
pose that it would be, favorable to the salubrity
of out-door. employment. It is eminently
healthy; it is far healthier than household
• work or sedentary work of any kiiul. .That of
the mill, of " gloving," lace-making or sewing,
• is not to be compared to it. And the stalwart
frames and untiring industry of men who plod
. their routine of unwearied toil on a diet of
which the oxygen they inhale is the most in
vigoiating element,* may be attributed to the
hearty constitutions of the mothers who bore
them.
WHAT A DOBSETSIIIRE PEASANT EATS.
The wife of a Dorset peasant thus described
; her usual food :—" We don't have a bit of
' butcher's meat not for half a year. We live
on potatoes, bread, and pig -meat, and are very
thankful if we tan get a bit of pig -meat; we
often sit down to dry bread. For harvest din
ner we send out some boiled potatoes and a
bit of cabbage, and we put a bit of fat to the
potatoes." Another witness says :---" Their
diet is bread and•cheese and potatoes, with a
little bacon in the families that are best off.
But for the last few years pigs have not been
so common. And the people who fare thus, in
the South of England, never use fuel, except at
• meal times, even in the severest winter!
Whatever other.: feelings this evidence may
suggest, it may at least make us admire the
heroic endurance of our people. It is possible
• that Belgian, Prussian and French peasants
fare as badly; in one respect, that of bread,
even worse. But then they are proprietors,
• and the consciousness, of property is a great .
stimulus of exertion. .Our laborers give - their
best labor to others for a mere subsistence, and
have no support to look forward to in declining
years except that of the poor-law. A life
sumed in unremunerated toil, and crowned
with eleemosynary relief, is not exactly the life
which a wise statesman would devise for the
book of his peasant countrymen. .
BETTER THINGS IN CUMBERLAND AND NORTH
LANCASIIIItE.
Let us look at the following picture of a
Cumberland peasant's life " The rate of wages
in this district is very high. A head farm-ser
. vant gett2Bl. a year, with board, lodging, and
his washing done for him. Day laborers get
18s. a week." Another witness says: " I pay
my head man 32/. a year" (this man lives with
the master), "and he ought not to spend more
than 0/. or 8/. a year. * • • We farmers
have great difficulty iu keeping our farni-ser-
vents in order. They don't like being spoken
to; they, will snap their iingersA you, and walk
oil' and ,get, another, place 'iramediately." A
third *kooks sags " The: wages of farm
servants are high; ' some, but ~, not
the • majority, save. know an
stance of a , • boy who, soon
after he became a farm-serVant at fourteen. put
10s. into the Savings' Bank. 110 continued his
'deposits until they now amount to 400/. Ile is
now renting a small farm s keeps, two horses,
and is making money." Again, take the fol
lowing
,evidence respecting North Lancashire.,
One witness says The wages "are 'high;
averaging for day laborers 18s. a week; the
cottages are good, most of them with seillOent
gardens." Another witness says !--" Our
farm-servants are difficult , to . manage; they are
very . independent, knowing that, if they, quit
one place, they van get another directly. I pay'
my head man 27/. a year, with his board. The
other servants are paid according to their age
and qualifications. They live exceedingly tveU.: ,
meat twice a day.",
LA IWASIIIIIE-41 00D WAGER lICT "NO CIDER."
A Lancashire land-steward giveri this as his
experience : " Wages are 18s. a week for a
common day 'laborer, or 15s. if employed
throughout the year, wet or dry. Wages are
so high and labor so scarce that we anxiously
look to every improvement In machinery. Be
ing myself a Devonshire !non, I tried to induce
some laborers from that county, who Were only
receiving 98, a weeki to settle in this neighbor. ,
hood, where they received nearly double those
wages ; but, after having been only a few
Months in the county, they allreturned to De
vonshire. They missed their 'cider, and said
they could not understand the Lancashire
people, nor the Lancashire people them." It .
is sad to think of men starving on a week
in Devonshire, and refusing to earn twice the
amount in Lancashire or Cumberland ; and all
for the love of Devonshire ckleri
