Tn tin' cur 17 , thcro dwelt in tho city of New York then by no nieiuis tlie miglity llnee it lias now grown to bp, a little nhl Fienclitnan, .Teiin Mutliteii by nnmp, who kept n Mimll cigar sliop in a narrow and crooked street not far from what was then the fii.diionalile part of the town. It was a tiny shop, but not without some idea of taste in its nrranrementt, lor there were white curtains festooned about the door of the little back room, where customers some times sat and smoked; tm oval looking glass behind the counter, and the pictures of simpering ladies with powdered heads suspended by crimson cord from t lit brightly papered wall, and glittering in their crim son frames in the warm ximliglit. Altogether it was as brig1, it and trim a place as could bo fount), and greatly fnvo.-td by the beaux of that pu--t day. when our great-grand-inothers' grandmothers wire 1m tiling belles. Truth to tell, the shii.tug Htvlu store and the wonderful to:neco and line snuff, (young nnd elegant gentlemen took, snulf in" those day.O were not the chief attractions 10 those gay fellows, who crowded about the counter at the twilight hour or niter the cundlra Marltfeu's pretty (!auglite.,r0.Hi,t Ki." ,",, his ctisioni, and the old luau being bIucivcI, knew this, nnd kept her in tho shop the greater part of the time. It was truly a beautiful face, and a modest one, though it did belong to Frenchwoman and a shop girl. The coarsest minded dam ly who frequented the store knew this, and would almost as soon have uttered insult to a lady of his own tet as to Manncltc' Even in the lute hours of tho evening, after the theatre was out, and they were tiu-,hed with wine, though they veutured sentimental glances and whispered compliments, they never ogled her so broadly and insolently us they did Mademoiselle t'oralie, who, in another tobacconist's hard by, dispensed cigars and smiles together, and who could return such looks with as broad a stare, and bolder, coming from a woman's eye. Man nette looked ns she was a pure woman, and, though virtue and modesty in a girl behind a tobacconist's counter were anoma lies, tho young bloods could not help belie ving in them when they thought of her. Old Mathieu kept a jealous watch upon his daughter, and never left her alone. Du ring his brief absences, their old woman servantTbroitght her knitting into the simp, and obedient to her master's command.', observed every action of her young mistress. Had Marinette been so disposed, there could have) been no stolen interviews or hidden hitli l'l'ii.n exchanged between herself and any admirer. Tho only day on which the young girl was her own mittress was the Sabbath. Then the shop was closed, ami Manette went morning und evening to church, while her father, a thorough. Fre-.a skeptic, remained at homo to tv1111"0 accounts, read novels, or sup -AstoHcl the ot; iiutitKe, as best suited fine of these Sunda ''fought Mannette an adventure.

Whether it ns longer and more tedious than m.ual and caused her to grow sleepy, or whether some of those little demons who delight in ending us astruv lingered about the porch, envious of tho good maxims being uttered within, aud anxious to play their pranks upon the congregation, can never be known. Certain it is, however, that in coming out Manuetto turned the wrong way, and lost herself. Sho had been hundreds of times to church alone, and knew the fact perfectly, and great was her surprise when she found herself in an unknown locality. Ilewildered and alarmed, she turned first in one direction and then in another, involving herself more comolctelv in a mazo of ill lighted i.ud wretchedly paved streets, and at last found herself before a broad door, the entrance to some gambling and dri g establishment, which, Sunday thoue,- ; was, was wide open, l ltree young liiivfrrejusi emerging from the door with a jovial, care-for nothing air. humming th 'uu of a fashionable song . . . 1 .

Tho eldest nnd coarsest and tipsiest essayed to kiss her and tho clasp of tho lirt tightened about her waist. It was more than sho could bear, and in her fear she lifted up her voieo and called aloud for help. Some ono heard her. Tho quick tread of footsteps sounded on her car, nnd a tall fig ure in the rich dress of n fashionable man of tho period, stood before her. In an instant she was free, and the bruto who had insulted her staggered back, thrust from her side by the strong arm of the stranger, who said, as he interposed himself between Man netto aud the tipsy trio "You need not be afraid. You shall come to no harm." "Indeed 1 and who nre. you, Sir Vnlliant ?"' inquired the man who had felt the clutch of his powerful hands. "And how dare you interfere with mo " "By tho law which makes every man tho defender of n woman," replied the stranger, with a resolute look in his eye, which made the sot shrink back with a muttered oath. "Confound you ; a pretty subject for pro tection !" he said, with a sneer. "I'll swear I've seen her face somewhere, in a tobaccon ist's. She knows how to take care of her self, I'll be bound." Beforo the words were out of his mouth, the coward lay prone upon the ground, and the stranger stood over him with a clenched ti.-t. lie was a strong powerful fellow, and w as ou his feet again immediately. "Ituni t have satisfaction for this," he said." "You must tight mo. Let mo know your name." "I doubt if I can light such a one as you with credit to myself," said tho stranger, disdainfully. "Such a one as Jf S' death, what do you take me for ?'' shouted the num. "There is my card and I demand yours, sir." The stranger took the card and rea l it. "It is a good name," he said, "and it is a pity it' should bo so disgraced. For tho sake of the name I will endeavor to give its unworthy owner a lesson. There. " is my card. And now, young lady,-' . said, turning toward Mannette, who stood pale anil trembling bcaidc him "Sow, young lady, let me see you to a place of safety.'' "I live at No. , street," answered Mannette. "Monsieur Muihieu, the tobac conist, is my father. I thank you very, very much, sir." ' They hud walked ou a few paces, and were out of hearing of the half-sobered friends on the pavement before thegambliug house, but he paused suddenly. "A tobacconist," he muttered under his breath, "The fellow was right, then. I did not believe it." Low as Ihe words were uttered, Mannette, caught them, und answered in a faltering voice : "Yet I thank you for your protection, sir, as much ns though I were a rich and high born lady." "And I am glad to havo given it," he replied, in frank accents which curried truth with them. "Let me offer you my arm.

"What honor dictates 1 must do, In any ca.se, I shall rejoice that 1 have been able to servo you." And old Mathieu. making his appearance at that moment, the stranger, with a brief explanation and a courteous bow, with drew. Mannette told the wholo story to her fa ther, and lay awake half - the night, praying that no harm might betide her champion, but towards morniii'' she fell asleep, and dreamed of wandering in interminable laby- rintlis ot streets, and ot hideous rutlians and gallant knights, in the armor of the olden time, who drew sword and lanco iu her ilelence. Atrainst her own will, Mannette looked lor the stranger all tlie next (lav; ami if it'll ...1,. 1 . ... -mr.ni.il "V 1t i Hint' i i luu unu w tio a m , . . ...... ;,i,.. i...

Ilis face ! She would have known it from amongst a thousand. Ho came forward, closing the door softly after him, and sho saw that ho wore his left arm in a sling. Old Mathieu was but an instant before summoned to the kitchen by the outcry of the servant woman, who had iipset a glorious pot of soup which was in preparation for dinner. She was alone, aud obedient to the lirst impulse, sho ejaculated "You have fought with that bad man, then yon have been wounded I" "A mere scratch !" answered the gentle man. "I only regret it because it has pre vented mo so long from impairing whither you have suffered from tho effects of your 'alarm the first night I met you j" ilis manner was respectful, and Lis glance full of admiration, which a queen need not have blushed to read in any eye ; but Man netto felt her cheek crimson and her heart throb quickly a his glance met hers, nd wondered at the khowledge of her own sen sations. Old Mathieu coming in just then, broke opportunely upon her confusion. The Frenchman was profuse in his thanks for the protection which the stranger had afford ed his daughter, and the bla"0 of himself 1 for lmvieir itiinuwl lice to unattended t.r church, and the strarvscr as courteous could have been J" t"6 richest distinguished -?n in all the ml. ho father as quiekij uiuB"lt' , "v ..,. dwheu the stranger toon 1.18 leave iid Thecoma a f riend, and they knew his ,amo to bo Oeorge Talbot.

No ono know this secret save tho lovers nnl old 'Mathieu, :tnd (.leorge Talbot only came to the the lir tobacconist's on then on those og, sweet walks ; 'i earnest vows, i the spurklo of enough to do to quiet Sunday nighls. Sundays there were sucl such tender whispers, hallowed by moonlight tho stars, that Manette hu dream of them throughout the work day week. There was an old garden, full oftrecs and vines, behind the house, and hero the lovers sat while .lean Mathieu snt upon tho porch smoking his cigar nd humming old French airs to himself, as happy, in his own way, as (hey vutu. Sometimes, at such time, fleorgc Talbot would whisper in Mannette 's ear, "It is only for n little while longer tli.'t you shall stand behind lliat counter, deart t. It makes my blood boil to think of it; you, who are us fair and pure ns any lily' m well-bred as any lady of tho land, you s'ni'! t;.ke your stand amongst tho proudest, when you are my wife, Manette." And Ihe young girl lovd to hear such words, because tiiey told her how tenderly her lover thought of her, i '.though they did not make her blush for the life sho was to forsake so soon. It had been honest us it was humble, and she saw no shame in being poor. Tho pearl of a puro conscience lay enshrined within the past nnd hi.llowed it. Only once more would -Mannette till the tiny sut.les and undo the fragrui.t bundles of 11a vanas. Only ono day long would the little sign bearing the name of .lane Mathieu glit ter above the door. On the day of his duuglkcr's marriage, the old tobacconist purposed to retire upon his savings, and buy a little fit I age in the su burbs. There in'his day-cVcu'.ns, he already saw grand-children plavipg about him and Mannette moving nmong.-t them with a . matron's w.tehful care.

"Your mother," she asked; "is your mo ther still living V and even as she spoke tho door opened and a bent, gray haired woman, came in. She wore no velvet now : a coarse mourning dress had taken its place, but her face was yet unaltered, nnd Muctto knew her in a moment. She came forward with a quick and tot tering step, nnd put her hand upon her son's inn. "1 knew vou would come here hrst. she said. and I could not die without see- j ing you. 1 have caused you great sorrow, j bur remember lam your mother.''

They were very happy in that little back parlor as the evening wore away. Happier yet when a certain Sabb.uh morning the words were Uttered which made the two lovers one.

We lay before our readers a few instances of the misery that is endured in England, just as they occurred to the bystander. Ifeto U one from Stockport : Down a miserable court, where! a quad rangle of little dens tiny could not be called houses were huddled together, their open doors exhibiting all thax. tho houses contained, lor they were singlc-sUi-id, we entered a low-roofed hovel. A wou.M1 Sllt on a bench, or rather a rough fi".ime-.jri which represented a bed : an infant w as her arms, and at her feet two little hall clothed children ien- lying.

The poor creature evinced great regret that we could rot be accommo dated with scats; but wo told her that our object was merclyto look through the dis trict, and we would not intrude. 'Intrude! you are welcome, firs; and if you bring any help, God reward you," she said. "You seem to have a large family." "There are live, sir. This little one is just six months old," (and its poor little shriv elled arins and haggard lace, lookvd as if it would never survive six months more.) "I'oor children, they have fared ill since their father went to prison " ''l't Uoii ! how came ho thr, ( ' "We weii.

"Do you not manane to receive relief;" 'Vcs'i-ir, I do, and very thankful I am for it : but I have only 3s.

Ono article of comfort after another wus then sold, until the homo which had been tho subject of so much pride and pleasure we stripped of everything that hind", it comfortable. Just as thing were coming to the worst, one of the daughters got employment a four shillings n week. 15ut what was four shillings to keep throe adults upon and pny house rent, ? Living at that dying rate was pro! rat; ted starvation, "It was very wrong to be proud," sai l the widow ; "it seemed as if one w a.i above taking what God sent, but 1 did feel if dreadfully hard to se-k for relief. I had never been used to take anybody's money unless I had earned it from them" and had always been able to keep out of debt and out of trouble. I know it was not right, but when we brought homo tho lir-t Vcliof and set it on tho table, we all set to crying, so much that we could not touch it. " But that is idl over now, nnd wn thank. God for the daily bread lie sends Us.."' And another ; "You would not think that wreb lied holi) was inhabited, would you J" asked our guide, pointing to a cellar under tin empty house. "No, surely it is not." I ansv. ered, fe-r it seemed impossible that auyvhing human could live in t lint dark, dark hole. "Ah, that's a sad ease there, si;-. We must not call, lor lite man is so Ken-.;,,ve . that I believe he would rather lie outright ; than be seen by strangers ns he is. He was j formerly an overseer, and from this he got ; reduced to spinner's work; imd then he could not get any work at nil, though he 1 tried everything except begging ; and when lie had sold everything he hud, he lclt las I house because he could not pay the rent, and crept away to thisci liar to die. Would you believe it, sir? Iliad to beg him to take the relief, he took the thing to heart so." And another : We turned down a narrow archway, damp and dreary, and arrived in a little square court, where there were about twenty one storied cottages, many nearly rootless, others with doors hanging on ono hinge. A lot of ragged, half-naked children Were making mud pies in tho centre of the court, w hile occasionally sharp rebukes, in a shrill Irish brogue, were being administered by slattern ly women leaning against the doorposts. We entered one house. The usual scene presented itself four bare walls, a fixture bedstead, with somo shavings and a counter pane, and a pot beside what should be a lire. A woman with a baby in her fttans sat upon the bedstead, with her head leaning against tho wall. She started up as we entered, and smoothed the hair which had fallen negligently about her. "You seem ill, my good woman," we remarked after a few sentences hail been exchanged. "I am ill, sir," she answered ; "I have five children, and this :i.orning there was not u morsel of bread for them ; and so I took this basket and started off to Stretford, nnd round the country, and I have wa!'vcu over tWi'ty mi1, hu 1 tt'i - :- "!iif 1 have go." Willi one hand ;-.itc opened the basket which contained a few crusts of bread, and with the other she took out of her pocket twopence halfpenny. "And I tramped over all those weary roads " she continued, .-'hu.iug oil' two more outlines of shoes.
