"Yea," roughly replied a .brotin.faced countryman, and passed on. It was afternoon. The child was soninwhat fragile in her appearance. Her bonnet was. of broken straw; her shoes were very much tail, the sun played hotly on her tender fore head. She walked cm and on an hour longer. 1 . "Is this the way to Sing Sing 'l' ; I "Yes, little girl, but what are you. going there for 'I" The child trudged on, her lip quivering, • not deigning - to answer the pleasant-faced old man who had stopped the Jogging of his horse to note her hurried manner, and who I liked that little face, anxious and sad as its expression was. ' e The dew was falling . Katy had fallen too, almost. A rougt stone by tltp way imbed ded in moss received her tired little frame. She looked sowcaried and aged, sitting there, her tangled hair falling on the hands that were clasped over her face! By the shaking of her frame, the tears werecomin g too, and she was bravely trying to hold them back. " W hy, what is this dear little girl doing here I" The exclamation came from a pair of ea ger young lips. " A curiosity !A I declare !" exclaimed a harsher voice, and Katy looked up suddenly, cowered aWay from the sight of the pretty young girl and her agreeable looking com panion. " What are you doing here, little girl 1" aced Nell Maywood, moving a little nearer to the frightened child. . " Going to Sing Sing," said Katy, in a scared way. "Did you ever, George! this,child is go ing to Sing Sing ; why, it's ten miles off.— Child, did you know it was so far off." Katy shook her bead, and wiped away the hot and heavy. tears one by one. " Why, yes, you poor little goose. What aro you going to Sing Sing for? .Have you had your supper ?" • Katy shook her head. Have Jim had any dinner ?" • Again the sad child shook her head. "Nor breakfast? -Why, George, the poor little thing - must be almost starved !" "I should think so," _Mechanically replied her brother, just recovering from a yawn sad showing signs of sympathy. "Look here; 'what's .your name ?" " Katy." " Well Katy, you must come up to the house, and get something to eat. Going to Sing Sing on foot ; dear me, how ridiculous! Follow me. Kati, and we'll take care of you to-night., somehow, and see about your going to Singing to-morrow." Katy followed. What ,a glorious vision burst upon her view ! The palace house ; the rocks reddening in a low western sun ; the Shining river; the signs of luxury on ev. ery, hand. They walked up a wide avenue. Elms and oaks threw their pleasant .branches on each side; here and there a flower bush might be seen ; vines grew around the noble -pillars; twisting up to the eliuering windows. "Susan, give this poor child a food sup per ; she is hungryi and tired too, J imagine. After that, I will see what can be dour for her." ,• Sum Wore imild face. . She looked pleas 'antly down at - the poor tired little one and taking her hand, which trembled now, led her into the kitchen.. Meanwhile, her story, or that brief part of it which we know, was- being told in the drawing-roam: The sylph figure in white, lounging gracefully in the midst of delicate cushione, accompanied her narration with ex. pre_saive gestures, and now and then a little laugh. " I should like to know:what she, is going to Sing Sing tor. !" she said, leaning languid ly back. " V,Ve.tnust get her something to wear ; a bonnet . ; a pair .of shoes; and _then, may-be, we can manage„to have her carried some way, if her mission is,of any import ance. Oh ! such an odd-looking little thing." b "Who is that, my daughter?" • ) "Oh, Papa you are come , home • why, I abs talking about the mite of a child ; she can't Ise more thin ten, if that. I saw her octrhere sitting on a moss-rock, the most for lorn object. She sayi she is gOing to sine Sing." - "1- met. her on my way,'? said the pleasant faced old man ; "she asked me about it, and I would have stopped her, but, she trudged on. Where is_ she ? It was noon -when. I saw her. - " -"In the kitchen, Papa. Susan is taking good care of her,-1 expect, and when she has had a hearty supper we will - talk with her." A gay trio of young girls tame. The--net tiegs were put up ;- the gas burned brightly; and music and mirth banished all thought of care. Suddenly, Nell Maywood remember. ed the-little odd figure, and clapping •he'r hands, cried, • "Oh, I've something to show you, girls," arid disappearSd. • Sumo was -picking gooseberries near the pantry in the kitchen. • • - " *here is the child, Susy ?" asked Nell Maywood. "On the door-step; Mies," Susan replied, picking away. " Why, no, Susan, there's nobody, here ; nohOdy to be Seen.", _ '"'Yee, lifies:” Susan placed her pantloWn, held her apron up to earth . the stems of the, and . walked deliberately to the door: " Why, she sat. here some time after supper. I turned and came in ; she was sitting there, looking'at the stars, l'expect. I thought she was a mighty quiet child ; but she's deep` , deep, Miss Nelly ! she's gone. Let me see =there ain't, any silver_ round-4 should be afearcd 'she'd took soinahtng, they're mighty artful" ';'..Why, didn't you tell ,her she might itay all night r' Nell Maywood Was peeping here and there to spy her if Poseible. " Yes, Miss Nell ; and told her what good bed there was over, the woodshed ;, but she looked strange out of them large eyes of hers, and never seemed to bear." "The poor child is in trouble"' said Nell; quite sorrowful that she could not relieve her necessities.- "I'd haver given ber something to-wear, and we could have sent her to' Sing but perhaps ihri will vane back agent; if so,,will you send het to titer • .411fabe bral,"-arritWertiAlsot toiticat thegixisetagain.

"'Yes, sir," crud the child, frightemtd at his manner,. which had in it something of severi ty. "And what have you come for?" "To see my rattler." the child burst forth with one great sob, and for a moment , her little frame was shaken with 'a tempest of feeli. • "Andwho is your fathers?" asked the Warden, kindly. " Ile - is Mr. Loyd," said the child, as soon as.she could-speak forsher rushing sobs. The Warden looked at the jailor. "Loyd •, there are three Loyds here, Jim; Bondy, and Dick," said the jailor., "They may not be their proper names," responded the Warden. • "'That's so," said the jailer,"hut I can try 'em all. Little one, was your father's name Jim?" The child _nodded her bead, or they Oought she did; she 'was all convulsed with the re action brought on by the tetmihation -of her journey. "If its Jim, he's a bad one;' said the jailor in a low voice ; he's in irons this morning for 'tempting to break jail; he don' deserve a little gal as looks like that one, the villain. Come child I'll go and find your father." He took Katy's sbaklng hand, with the other she dashed the tears away as fast as they tell. It frightened her almost into calm ness to see the ponderous door at which the jailor applied the great key; and the still ness of the long stone passages; the dimness thiown over all; the constant succession of base and bleak-walls was terrible to a setish tine mind like hers, How the heavy tread of the jailor; and the tread of the Warden be. hind him, echoed through the gloom and spate. ' It was in truth a great tomb through which they moved ; a tomb in which were confined living hearts; whose throb could al.• most be heard in the awful stillness. On, on they went, now 'through this massive door, now through that passage way. Eveiything spoke of crime, , of fierce passiOns subdued and held in stern+ control ; everything, from the grim face of the ferocious watch:dog, to the sentinels armed. . Then they turned, and went up the stairs, the jailor holding the scared bird close to his side with a tender clasp, the Warden follow ing. Another tramp, and at last they came to a-stand still. The jailor•rapped at a cell door. Slowly a man with a harsh, hair-cov ered face appeared. " " fiere's your little girl come to see you," said the jailor. - - "Little girl hem! your'e green," said the man, in grum accents; "I've got no lit tle girl, or you wouldn't catch me here." • " Father, 'said the childish voice. It sound ed so sweet, so childish, in that terrible pris on. But as the scowling face came closer to the bars, the child hid .her head quickly in the jailor's arni, half sobbing; it wasn't him. "We'll try the next one." lie walked further on, and spoke more pleasantly this time.

' Again the 'sweet voice ran& out," rather." The prisoner cam e up to the barsa youth &Haw framed with light wavy b , air; a face in which the blue eyes looked innocent; a face that it seemed a sin to couple with a foul deed, gazed out. It saw the child's earnest, '.leading. 'tearful eyes; a dark expression rolled like a wave across his brow; a groan carne up from his bosom, and with a low moan he staggered against his bed, crying, "Take her away ; I cati t ,t stand the sight - of anything_pure like that." - Katy had hidden her Lice a second time, as she feebly cried, " him ;" so they kept on to the third cell. "Jim, here's a little girl, little Katy, your daughter, Wants to - see you." A stupid "what!" "DO from the bed;— the man had probably just awakened. "Your little daughter!" - , Theriias a sold of rattling irons that made the Child shiver. Dimly appeared the fitee and outliries of a well made min—the countenance handsome, but evil. Ile seem ed not to comprehend. But as fast as his chains Would permit him, he came forward and looked . out st_the ar-xious face below. It was graced' too much for the'ehild.

We can't find out her name, except that It la - Kitty, and I ex pect she wants to see somebody in the pris. on. But we can't get anything out. of her; where she came from, or anything about it." "Bring her over here."vtid the Warden, " my wife is wanting a little' girl for help ; mas , lle she's just the one." So Katy stood trembling more than ever,_in a few moments; in the presence of the Warden and jailor.-- Katy was a pretty child. Her large., blue eves wore an expression of intense melan choly ; her hair had been combed and curled and some otx had put a good pair of shoes on her feet. " Well, my little girl," said the Warden, kindly, for he Was prepossessed in her favor. "where have you come from?" " New York," said the child faintly. The men looked at each other incredulous• then there was a quiet crying. 'By ' and by , the trtinlifted the little head* whose glassy curls 'were falling on his shoulders, and sahl what a sharp rattle of the 'chains ' smote on the ear, and looked' in her face: Afteria me. ment's irresolution he kissed her, and then his head fell under her earliest, loving look. - " Katy, what made you came r • * "T Wanted to see you, Father," Arid ,the head was on his shoulder again, • "'How did you come, Knty ; never, mind the noise, they are locking up ; they will be here again 'and let you out, how did` you come Katy 7" * . . "I Walked here." " - "From New York, child?" ' ." Yes, Father !" • - • - There was no sound save that of the chains as he Strained her to his bosom. "And how did you leave—hei—Katy —your mother?" The question was fearfully asked but not reiponded tn. He _gazed eagerly in the child's Ace ; her little lip was quivering. "Krity, tell me:'qtticks!" • ' "She died, Father !" A groan,* a terrible groan followed; the env/ices heqd fell in the lap of bistehild, and he wept with strong cries. The jailor and the Warden said that they never saw-a sight sn wail. And the child tried to' comfort him, till his strength seemed to be gone, and_ his sobs were like gasps. "Oh. Katy, when - did she die? my poor May ! my poor girl !" "Ever po long ago. I guess, ever so many weeks," replied the child ; "but she told me to come and see yon, aid comfort you." " 0 God !..this is hard she always forgave- "She, told me.to pray for you, too; she told meito ask you if you'Would be.real good slier you come out, and meet her in Hear n " In Heaven ! I in 'Heaven !" groaned the man, giving way again to his agony. The child wis angel-guided. Iler soft touch was better for his soul's good, thart the stripes and-the drains. He had - been hardened; her little love had melted down the adamant;— had found the locked.up good of his nature and she had sent her sweet smiles through his prison door. Long he eat there his bead in the lap of his beautiful, quiet child. - None ddred disturb him, jailor and Warden walk. ed to fro. "Father, when you come out, 111 take care of you." Re lifted his head; his eyes, red with weeping, were fastened on her face. • "Mother said I might." "God's blessing ott you, my angel child ; you may save your miserable Father !" " I wit/ save you, Father." The Warden cleared his throat; the jailor spoke roughly to one of the prisoners; it was to hide-his emotion. " You, had,better conie now," he added, piing to the cell. • "Rate. you must go; will you come again my child ?" "Can't I stay?" "No, dear; but ,you shall come and see . meagain." They took her gently from the dark cell; she sobbed very quietly. In the Warden's room stood a pleasant-fa Ced *old man. "I have come after thatfittle girl," he said. "She must go hothe with me. I'll take good care of het"; I've heard her story; and when her father comes-out, if he's a mind to behave himielf, I'll give him plenty to do. Besides that. I'll bring her up once a week to see him.

I luexaincrobt or .Wonns.—lf we will ob serve how , children learn languages, we ,shall, find that, to make them understand what the names of simple ideas, or substances, stand for, people ordinarily show them the thing whereof they would have them have the idea ; and then repeat to them the name that stands for it, as white, meet, milk; rigor,' cat, dog. But as for mixed modes, especially the most material of them, moral words, the sounds are especially, learned first; and then, to know what complex' ideas they stand for, they are either beholden to the ixplications of Others, or (which happens for the most part) are left to their_ own observation and industry rwhich being• little laid, out in the search of the true and precise meaning of names,: these moral words are in most men's -mouths little more than Ware sounds ;, or when they - have any, it is for the, most part but, a very loose and undetermined, and con sequently, obscure and confused, signification: And even th ose themselves who have with more attention settled their notions, do , yet hardly avoid the inconvenience to haie them stand Tor complex ideas different from those which other, even intelligent and. studious men, make useof.

We have, therefore, ; pre pared it: aciinewhat minute 'sketch: of the method of ,preparation and composition ad opted by the deceased, by , which he was en abled to'overcome his impaired vlsinn,• and 'to place his, nettle 'among historians of the very first rank. - Mr.; Prescott, it is well known, though not blind, was *Meted with. a disorder of the nerve of -the'eye; so that -he was Wholly incapacitated for reading and- Writing in the Ordinary : ways. He was ex ceedingly systematic in his mode of life, sad devoted five hours out of the twenty-four' to his liistoripliebors. After breakfast he list ened'for an hour to some light reading, a novel, poem, or other entertaining" book,— .He thenlWalked for an hour. At half past ten o'clock his secretary came to his study and remained till twelve o'clock. Another walk of an hoe; was then taken, after which he went-to his study and remained. another hour and a half with is , secretary. After dinner,light reading was- again resorted to, and at six o'clock' the-seeretary 'returned and remained until eight.- Thisiontini3 of work and leisure was very - rigidly observed"thro'. out the season, during the years devoted to the preparation of his elaborate volumes. Mr. Prescott's mode of, writing history was this : we will take, fur example, his last, work, " Philip the Second." He arranged in his study all the books and. manuscripts re lating to that. monarch, which_ he had been years in collecting, at an expense of many thousand dollars. They numbered three or four hundred printed volumes of all sizes.-- There were also some twenty thick folios of manuscripts, richly bound, which probably cost more than all therest of the collection, though some' of the printed works are ex ceedingly 'rare and valuable--the . libraries . and bookstores of all Western Europe, from Cudiz to Arristerdam, having been ransacked by agents initearch bf everything that could throw light on the history of Philip the Se cond. Except dictionaries and other works of reference, books not specially relating to the subject in hand were excluded, from the study. • . . With his materials thus gathered abOuti him, the Ilietorian commenced his work:— The secretary first read the only English his tory of the King and his Reign. Notes and observations,were dictated as they were Emir gested by the book. Having freshened his recollections tiy hearing this volume read, Mr. Prescott proceeded to examine the -ilea, sum he-had collected. Each book was tak- I en from the shelf in turns by the secretary, I who, read aloud its title, its table of contents, and a few pages by way of specimen of its style and character. Notes were taken while ' this examination was going on, which were preserved fin future reference. ,Of thethree or four hundred volumes, a great majority of course proved worthless, being either merely repetitions, or compilations or trans lation lation of preceding authors, or else, if 'orig inal, thou authority. The numb,er of books of rea value would, be thus reduced down perhaps to a hundred. - . - ' The huge folios of MSS. , were next at-' tacked. - These had been examined by .a com petent person, who prepared a careful 'digest .and table of' contents.. The _secretary •read this, and notes were dictated as he , proceed ! 'ed. Having theses it were taken turaccount of stock, tuid,ascertained the general charac ter of his materials, they were next - inspect ed din detail in, the following manner : The first chapter of Philip ' the Second' contains an account of the abdication and last days of his father' and predecessor, Charles the - Fifth. The secretary gathered round him every vol-' ume, printed- or MSS., which contained--any. thing aboerthe last named monarch, The books are in the . . - English, French, Spanish,' Italian, and -Latin languages. One, by . one they were read aloud, and Copiotie notes were dictate When everything that relat.' ed to Cherie* the Fifth- bad thus. been pc. rused and noted, the historian began to com pose his work, or, more properly speaking, to write it—fur the, process of composition had of course been going on in his.minedu ring these preparatory labors. -'' : The:apparatus Used by Mr, Prescott 'con sisted bf a frame the size of a common 'sheet of.Jetter paper; with brass wires inserted to correspond wi t h the number of lines marked. Thin carbon atedpaper was used ; and instead of a pen the writer' empldyed.a stylus' With an ,agate point. - The great , di ffi culty in the way of a person% writing' in • the ordinary , manner, whose vision is impaired, arises from not knowing When-the ink is exhausted, and moreover the lines will - be'run intoone another. The pages the e written by Mr. Prescott were copied bY . thci Secretary, and read, Abet 'such "interlineal ions, alterations And - amendments might be mine, as wereweeded. Themateri: als.forAhe seOnd; chapter, on the early :life of Philip, were next. taken p, and the., same' process repeated, until the 'volume is ready for the printe,r.
